[Mysterious Lotus Casebook]

[Episode 12]

Do you have to

wrapped yourself up like that?

We have to find a reason to stay.

What about Guo Kun?

He always runs around carrying a skeleton.

Have you ever thought

where did the skeleton

come from?

Could it be from the lotus pond?

It shouldn't be a coincidence.

Let's go.

Let's talk to Guo Kun.

You go ahead.

I said I don't care.

Let's go.

You guys are really going without me?

It's miserable!

It's not worth it.

Guo Kun.

Guo Kun.

Do you know this?

Do you really like the woman

who wore this brown wedding dress?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

I found it strange yesterday.

Guo Kun went crazy when he saw a person

in brown wedding dress.

Then why did he

hang up this brown curtain in his room?

In fact,

he doesn't care about this wedding dress at all.

Why are you carrying the skeleton all day?

Tell me,

and I'll give it back to you.

You bastard!

Why are you here?

The day before yesterday was 5th day,

yesterday was 6th day,

and today is 7th day.

Today is 7th day, I going to play at the center of the lake.

We can't get anything from this lunatic.

Let's go.

Wait.

Guo Kun.

Who is this bastard?

Monster!

Monster!

Monster!

If Guo Kun is not sensitive to the bride,

why don't we try someone else?

Lion Soul.

Do you remember me?

Bastard!

You can't escape.

Go to hell!

Just like what happened in front of the mirror stone yesterday.

He made a palm hit first,

but it was weak.

Guo Kun practiced the Arhat legs.

But this palm

is immature Bagua Xingyi Palm.

Bagua Sect?

Guo Qian's Sect?

It seems Guo Kun imitated his brother.

I looked through the casebook again last night.

When the three women died,

there are no palm marks on their bodies.

Then, who is the target of this palm?

When Madam Xu died,

Lion Soul should have been present.

I haven't eaten anything since last night.

I'm starving.

Is Second Master's medicine ready?

Yes.

Why did you brew it according to yesterday's prescription?

It's wrong.

Throw it away, hurry!

Don't blame us.

Granny Housekeeper.

Today is Madam Wang's death anniversary.

Accidents happened in Cailian Manor one after another.

There's a vengeful spirit.

I need to burn more joss paper for her.

Don't blame us.

Please forgive us.

Death anniversary?

It was the day the second murder happened

in Cailian Manor seven years ago.

The day before yesterday was 5th day,

yesterday was 6th day,

and today is 7th day.

I'm going to play at the center of the lake.

Center of the lake?

Young man,

are you waiting for Second Master Guo?

Who are you?

Are you from Lotus Manor?

Why are you waiting for him?

Today is my birthday.

Every year on my birthday,

Mr. Kun will come to play with me

and learn opera together.

But why didn’t he come today?

Did his brother lock him up again?

Every birthday...

Today...

Young man,

have you known Mr. Guo for a long time?

It's been seven years.

You recall it so clearly

without even thinking about it?

Of course.

Because it was on the evening of my eighth birthday.

I was separated from my family.

When I was crying alone in the alley.

Mr. Kun also sneaked out to play.

He saw me crying,

and came to play with me.

We played together until dawn.

He left after my family found me.

So,

Guo Kun wasn't at Cailian Manor

at the night when Madam Wang died.

What are you doing here?

I know you haven't eaten anything

since last night.

Eat up.

You have a conscience.

Don't think you can

calm me down with a chicken.

My gut feeling is right.

Fei's background is not simple.

I don't know how much you know about him.

But in the martial world,

it's always good to be alert.

You're just a kid,

but you're lecturing me.

My biggest advantage is to learn from mistakes.

I'll learn ten things from a single mistake.

I can remember every time

when I got scammed by someone.

You,

you're a big mouth,

a little cheap,

and also keeping many secrets,

but still you're considered a good person.

You are also

the first friend I made in the martial world.

I don't want you to be in danger.

Fine.

I will be more cautious

in everything.

This chicken is not for free.

If Detective Fang doesn't participate

in the case of Cailian Manor,

there’s no way to investigate it further.

Since you said so,

I'll help you.

Are you also wondering

why Guo Kun suddenly attacked you last night?

This is the residue of Guo Kun's medicine yesterday.

I checked his prescription.

Guess who ordered the servants to change his medicine?

Of course it was his brother.

Guo's Sect is green with a pond of silk,

accompanied by ten miles of jade hairpins.

Just a man of the Sect in the woods,

watching lanterns with chrysanthemum wine in a melon field.

Not bad.

It's a good poem.

I didn't expect that Doctor Li has some literary talent.

Wait.

Dad.

It seems to be

an acrostic poem.

Guo Shi Sha Gua.

Guo is a fool.

Master, bad news.

The guests are in Madam Xu's study again.

You keep barging into my manor's backyard.

You really don't respect me.

In that case,

don't blame me for being rude.

See them out.

You...

You're afraid of people entering this room

because you don't them want to see this.

When the moon is bright,

with the wedding dress,

See you next to the mirror.

be there or be square.

Lord Guo,

if my guess is right,

this should be a letter from Shi Hun to Madam Xu.

They are both in the manor.

Why did they need to date

in such a vague way?

What did you do to them?

How would I know what happened?

Maybe they had an affair,

and dated secretly by a secret letter.

However, they ran into my crazy brother,

and he killed them.

Imposing a charge on a lunatic,

it's really safer.

But seven years ago,

when Madam Wang died,

Guo Kun wasn't in the manor.

Young Master Liu in the town can prove that

he wasn't there at all.

Guo Kun was not there when Madam Wang died.

But it can't prove that

he didn't kill Madam Xu.

You’re so stubborn.

Lord Guo,

Can you recognize these two residues

of herb medicines.

One of these is the medicine

that Kun usually takes to heal the madness.

And this one,

I found it from the trash.

I've shown it to the doctor.

These two medicines are totally different.

Yesterday's medicine is clearly not right.

It'll make him more irritated.

That's why Guo Kun came out last night to scare people.

This is all because you want Guo Kun to be the scapegoat.

Am I right, Lord Guo?

Lord Guo.

Obviously, Shi Hun stayed

in the Cailian Manor for a long time.

The Corpse Fragrant Flower Tomb in the lotus pond

is the best proof.

But you said he only stayed for three days.

If you are not guilty,

why did you lie for such a trivial matter?

Corpse Fragrant Flower Tomb?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Don't you know the corpses in the mass grave outside the city

that has been missing for ten years?

Do you want me to help you recall it?

Or ask someone to dig up the lotus pond and take a look?

Even a fool

can't learn from anyone he sees.

He must be learning from the closest person.

So what Guo Kun said

is not nonsense at all.

He is imitating what you said

on the night of the murder.

-Uncle. -You can't escape!

-You can’t. -Uncle.

Let's go.

Where can you run to?

The palm that Guo Kun hit Fang Duobing

was the Bagua Xingyi Palm you hit Shi Hun with.

Why did Madam Xu die in the end,

instead of leaving?

Where did Shi Hun go after that?

Lord Guo,

don’t you want to tell me?

If you don’t,

let me speak for you.

I guess it's like this.

Ten years ago,

Lion Soul accidentally fell into your lotus pond.

and was saved by Madam Xu.

Lion Soul suffered a lot

because of his appearance.

That's why he's timid and self-abased.

But Madam Xu was kind-hearted

and didn't treat him as a monster.

She took him in to stay.

That's why they fell in love.

All right.

Thank you.

You were suspicious.

You must had been harsh on Madam.

So Shi Hun asked her to elope.

[When the moon is bright, with the wedding dress, by the mirror stone, See you] So Shi Hun asked her to elope.

[When the moon is bright, with the wedding dress, by the mirror stone, See you]

But you found out the secret on this calligraphy. [When the moon is bright, with the wedding dress, by the mirror stone, See you]

But you found out the secret on this calligraphy.

That's why you killed them in anger.

Go to hell!

That night,

Guo Kun witnessed the whole process of your murder.

Guo Kun memorized your move to Shi Hun.

and saw how you carried and hid the bodies.

That's why he runs around carrying a skeleton.

Who cares about what a crazy man does?

But you knew that

all his actions

were just an imitation of your murder.

You were afraid of being exposed,

so you played along

and put the blame on your

crazy little brother.

Am I right?

No, it's not.

My father didn't kill them.

No.

It's only your guess.

There is no evidence.

Does Baichuan Court have to pin the crime

on me?

You want evidence?

Easy.

What do you want?

I have plenty of ways

to make people talk.

[Cailian Manor]

[Mysterious Lotus Casebook]

[Cailian Manor]

Are you going to tell me or not?

Dad! Dad!

Fei, you're extorting a confession by torture.

You want to extort a confession by torture

and frame me.

Since you said so,

how about I throw you into this pond

as the fertilizer of the Corpse Fragrant Flower Tomb?

Fei!

I'll confess!

I killed Shi Hun you were looking for.

I drugged Guo Kun.

Back then,

Madam Xu saved that Six Fingers Monster.

I didn't expect

that he would fall in love with Madam Xu.

He sneaked into my Cailian Manor as a servant

and used his secret technique to nurture the lotus

to make Madam Xu happy.

Because he saw me hurt her,

he instigated her to leave me,

and eloped on my wedding night.

You're here.

It's crowded now.

Let's go through the back door.

Okay.

I'm glad I found out.

So you killed them for that?

I killed that Six Fingers Monster

in a rage.

As for that bitch,

she was too flustered

and drowned herself in the pool.

But that bitch deserves to die, too.

Lotus is noble.

That bitch is a slut

who cheated on me.

She doesn't deserve to love the lotus.

She deserved to die.

Who are you to decide others' life and death

with your own will?

You always say you love Lotus.

Do you deserve it?

One more thing.

Where are the body and relics of Shi Hun?

That monster

was thrown into the pool to be fertilizer.

Okay.

You all go into the water

and get all the corpses.

We must find the body with six fingers

even if we have to turn over the bottom of the pond.

Go into the water.

Lotus is noble,

but it got haunted.

Found it.

There's nothing here.

Didn't you say Shi Hun never leaves his things behind?

The body has been soaked in water for so many years.

Even if he has any relic with him,

it would have been rotten.

The Kun's skin bag of Shi Hun is a treasure of Tianshan.

It won't rot.

Since he's here, but the thing is not,

it must still be somewhere in Cailian Manor.

We will go find it.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

We've searched the whole Cailian Manor, but still couldn't find it.

Take them back to Baichuan Court first.

As for Shi Hun,

I will come up with another way.

Let's go.

You killed Madam Xu,

because she wanted to leave with Shi Hun.

But why did you kill

the second and the third?

I killed them anyway.

Why?

Is it important?

Beef with coriander.

I'm really sorry, guests.

Corianders is sold out today.

I've replace it with celery.

I just bought some

famous coriander meat cakes.

Would you like to try one?

I have two.

Come on.

Thank you. No need.

My Lady,

I brought you the wedding shoes

embroidered by Old Madam.

But why did the wedding become a funeral?

My lady.

My lady.

My condolences.

May I ask

why does your lady use plain colors?

Does she not like other colors?

Because...

Because my lady has slight color-blindness.

She can't distinguish many colors.

So she only used things with plain colors.

My lady

doesn't allow us to tell anyone.

No, turn around.

[Cailian Manor]

Let's go. [Cailian Manor]

[Cailian Manor]

Hurry up!

Run!

Let's go. Hurry.

Hurry up.

Young Master Guo.

Young Master Guo.

Where are you going in such a hurry?

Li Lianhua.

Didn't you leave?

I-I did leave.

But on the way,

I didn't figure out a question.

So I came back to ask Young Master Guo.

The lady from Weiyuan Escort Agency

knew that the pomegranate dress

in Cailian Manor is an ominous thing.

So she hates wearing this wedding dress.

Then why did she suddenly come back

and wear this wedding dress when she died?

I don't understand.

Young Master Guo.

The same purple pomegranate skirt.

I found it in your room.

Can you explain it?

Young Master Guo,

If you're too shy to speak.

Let me speak for you.

I

asked the maid of the bride.

Her lady was born with slight colorblindness

and thin-skinned.

She wouldn't let others know her natural flaws.

She only told her future husband about that,

which is you, Young Master Guo.

I heard from the servant that

Young Master Guo wanted to prepare

a new wedding dress for her.

However, this wedding dress

has never seen by anyone

except the maid of the bride.

Young Master Guo said

you will surprise everyone on the wedding day.

But a few days before the wedding,

the bride suddenly lost her wedding shoes.

So she had to ask her maid to go back

to her parent's home to get another pair.

After the maid left,

you secretly replaced the wedding dress

with a brown and purple pomegranate dress.

The bride who can't distinguish colors

put on this brown pomegranate dress

when she was trying it on.

Why is this pair of red shoes found in your room

are exactly the same with that pair

the maid got back.

Because the so-called lost of the red shoes

is what you did on purpose.

You wanted to send away the maid of the bride

so that she can't distinguish colors.

I thought I had deceived you.

I didn't expect you to come back

and found out all of this.

Not only this.

I guess the reason

why Young Master Guo did all this

is for Miss Lyurou, right?

Young Master Guo loves Miss Lyurou.

But Lord Guo insisted you

to marry the daughter of Weiyuan Escort Agency.

But Young Master Guo, you dare not resist.

So you set up a trap to kill your bride.

Do you remember?

That day at Cuihua Restaurant,

Miss Lyurou pretended to be unfamiliar with you.

But she knows your taste very well.

She switched the coriander on your desk quietly.

Am I right, Miss Lyurou?

Lyurou.

We always thought

those three people were killed by the same person.

After we figured out the first case,

we mistook the other two murders

that seems to be done in the same way

were all committed by Lord Guo.

Actually, this is also a misunderstanding.

Young Master Guo,

you did this on purpose, didn't you?

It's all my fault, Lyurou.

It's not his fault.

I forced him to marry me.

Arrest me if you want.

Please let him go.

Get up!

Lyurou.

I'll take the responsibility.

I did kill him.

It has nothing to do with Lyurou.

Why are you being lovey-dovey here?

The people you killed are innocent.

I killed the princess of Weiyuan Escort Agency

not only because I love Lyurou,

but also because

I hate him, Guo Qian.

I hate everything he arranged for me,

and controlling me.

My father Guo Qian...

He likes to

put everything

under his control.

He can't tolerate others

to disobey him.

My mother

was forced to death by him.

And I...

And I was almost suffocated by him.

So,

I will never give in to his control and oppression.

Never.

Darling Guo.

do you think

Madam Xu had an affair with Shi Hun?

In fact, Madam Xu

was tortured and abused by Guo Kun.

This was all seen by Shi Hun.

He wanted to save her.

But they failed

and killed by Guo Qian.

But it's good.

When I saw how Madam Xu in the pomegranate dress

fell into the lotus pond and drowned to death,

I found a good way

to kill.

A good way to kill.

So the mirror in the house

and the mirror stone outside

were also designed by you, right?

You also missed

the Shoushan Stone and stumbling block.

They were arranged by me on purpose.

I also found that Feng Shui master.

It's all Guo Qian's fault for being stupid.

He believes everything so easily.

Young Master Guo,

you killed your newlywed wife

just to get rid of your father's control.

But your father's second wife

has nothing to do with this.

Why did you kill her?

So what?

He forced my mother to die

and ruined my life.

Do you think I'll let him live a happy life?

I will not let him have

anything he wants.

Young Master Guo,

Your father already knew

everything you did.

He didn't turn you in

only because

he still want to protect his son.

Ridiculous.

Even if he turns me in,

he will still be punished.

He just planned the last step

that I can get him out.

But he never thought

I wanted him to die.

There are thousands of ways

to break free from the control of a despicable person.

Why did you choose to become

a more despicable person?

If you want revenge,

why did you involve innocent people in this

to fill your hatred?

You haven't experienced my life

and my pain.

You have no right to lecture me.

I know

you want to find

what Shi Hun left back then.

Back then, Shi Hun

hid all his belongings

in a place, in order not to

expose himself as the remnant

of Jinyuan Alliance.

And only I know this place.

If you let me go,

I'll tell you.

Darling Guo,

I hate people threatening me the most in my life.

If you don't tell me,

I'll break your neck.

Okay.

As long as you let go of me,

I'll tell you where it is.

Let's go!

Stop!

Fabric of the Jinyuan Alliance.

This is the handwriting of Shi Hun.

Lion Soul hasn't recovered,

and the master's order hasn't been implemented.

I dare not neglect it.

Therefore, I kept the body of Shan Gudao in the herb coffin

to keep it intact.

It is hidden under the willow tree of the south gate of Cailian Manor.

Senior.

I finally found you.

I told you,

no one can escape from me.

I tied those two up.

Li Lianhua, what are you doing?

Whose tomb is this?

Fang Duobing.

This

is the remains of your uncle Shan Gudan.

Actually, he is who we've been looking for.

Come.

Come and pay your respects to your uncle.

It's you.

Are the flowers pretty?

You want to kill me?

Are you willing to do that?

Besides,

you are no match for me.

What else do you want?

I've killed the master for you.

For the past ten years,

I've drawn the ground as a prison.

I have nothing now.

You still have one thing.

You have me.

Mr. Yun, long time no see.

Do you miss me?

Don't lie to yourself.

From ten years ago,

you had no resistance to me.

Looking at you now,

I feel sorry for you.

You have to live well for me.

I'm here to ask you for a favor.

What is it?

I want the maps of 188 prisons.

Di Feisheng is back.

Are you planning for him again?

Yes.

All Sects in the martial world

have your admirers.

I'm no different from them.

We are only tools for your ambition of ruling the martial world.

Mr. Yun,

I trust you the most.

I'm not ruling the martial world for myself.

Ruling the martial world is boring.

But some people

are destined to rule the martial world.

Don’t worry.

When my great cause is achieved,

you will

have your place beside me.

I-I can't get all of them.

They will be wary of me.

Be patient.

Let's take our time.

You know my uncle?

We are old friends.

Your uncle once said

if he dies,

he wants to be burried in Yunyin Mountain where he studied

I just want to fulfill my old friend's last wish.

Go to Yunyin Mountain with me to bury him.

It's always good

to have

[Tomb of Shan Gudao]

Senior, [Tomb of Shan Gudao]

[Tomb of Shan Gudao]

you

Soon,

I will come and accompany you.

Li Lianhua,

can you tell me

the past of my master and my uncle?

You can bury my uncle

by his master's tomb.

You must know their past.

Although they are my family and grandmaster,

but I can only hear their story

from the rumors,

I really don't know anything about it.

Tell me about it.

Shan Gudao was only a teenager back then.

He barely lived on the street.

But he found an four-year-old orphan.

Li Xiangyi,

you must be hungry.

Eat up.

You too.

I'm not hungry.

Eat up.

It's him. What are you doing?

Don't be afraid.

Beat him!

If Master Qi Mushan

didn't adopt them,

I wonder how long they can live.

My master must be grateful to uncle.

Li Xiangyi

should be grateful.

But he was born

rebellious

and always goes his own way.

Since he was a kid,

his senior has been treating him well.

But when he grew up,

he became more arrogant

and pissed his senior off,

which broke his heart.

Best in the martial world?

Master of the Sigu Sect?

He's just

a heartless person.

What are you talking about?

My master is not that kind of person.

Without him,

I would be

a cripple sitting on a chair.

When I was a kid, everyone laughed at me and bullied me.

Only my master encouraged me to practice martial arts.

He treated me like this,

how could he be cold to his senior?

Besides, everyone knows

he fought the Jinyuan Alliance

because of the death of Shan Gudao.

They should be very close.

Don't talk nonsense.

[Sigu Sect]

Today, Sigu Sect is established.

Red silk was lifted

to bring good luck.

Junior,

You're the master today now.

Why are you still acting like a child?

Senior, you're also the master.

From now on, we will

uphold the martial world together.

Good.

With me and the Sigu Sect,

there will be no evil in the martial world.

We will follow the master to the death!

All members of the Sigu Sect, listen up!

Destroy the Jinyuan Alliance with me!

Destroy the Jinyuan Alliance!

Destroy the Jinyuan Alliance!

Let's go.

Yes.

No, Senior.

Junior,

what do you mean?

The master's order is here.

Sigu Sect can't act rashly

without my order.

The Jinyuan Alliance has done many evils,

why can't we eliminate them?

One year ago,

Sigu Sect destroyed the cult in Mobei.

Our vitality is greatly damaged.

Now the Jinyuan Alliance is more powerful.

I've made a treaty of peace with Di Feisheng.

We won't interfere with each other

or draw a war in five years.

The martial world has been turbulent for too long.

It's rare to have peace for five years.

Why do you want to break it?

You signed such an important agreement

without telling me?

That's the best choice.

Fine.

I don't need our people to help me.

The royal court has agreed to help me.

Stamp your master's seal

[To Shan Gudao] Stamp your master's seal

[To Shan Gudao]

on this secret letter. [To Shan Gudao]

on this secret letter.

Tomorrow, the royal court will send a great army

to wipe out the Jinyuan Alliance.

Senior,

are you confused?

What?

If Sigu Sect is controlled by the royal court,

it's no different from the government offices.

Don't forget that

when we founded Sigu Sect,

we wanted an independent place in the martial world

with absolutely justice.

Senior,

don't forget your original intention.

You're the one who's forgotten, not me.

You said

to uphold the martial world with me.

Now the Jinyuan Alliance has done many evils,

but you acted like a coward

and ignored them.

And you even signed an agreement with them

and kept all of us in the dark.

It's settled.

No more discussion.

Xiangyi,

Sigu Sect was established by us together.

You're not the dictator of it.

As long as it's beneficial to Sigu Sect,

what's wrong with being a dictator?

Xiangyi,

do you think

what you said is always right

and the truth?

Do you think Sigu Sect can't be without you?

Yes.

It has been proved over the years.

Exactly.

Sigu Sect can exist without anyone,

but not Li Xiangyi,

it can't.
