[The Wanted Detective]

[Episode 15]

Xueman.

Thank you.

Beiming.

Huo Zongyao and my father

served together.

Was my dad part of the Canfeng Army?

Three years ago, at Fengbo Lake,

what Miao Jie wanted to reveal

must have been about

the Canfeng Army's massacre.

If it's true

that my father was in the Canfeng Army,

then he would also be

Yesha's target for revenge.

Then he couldn't possibly be Yesha.

I've never believed

that Master was Yesha,

and I certainly don't believe

he would salughter

the defenseless people

of Haiya.

There are many suspicious points

about Canfeng Army and Haiya.

Zhu Yitie said

he never actually saw

Yesha's true face,

but on the boat,

he heard a voice

that sounded like Yesha's.

Now, Qing Ying claimed

that Yesha isn't dead.

Their testimonies

have many contradictions.

Are you doubting

my conclusion that Yesha was on the boat

at Fengbo Lake that year?

I hope I'm wrong too.

That way, Master

would be free of any suspicion.

The deeper we investigate this case,

the more it feels like we're entering

a pitch-black cave.

There's a path ahead,

but the further we go, the more dangerous it seems,

and the less certain it feels.

No matter how long the night,

the sun

will always rise.

According to Qing Ying's confession.

Yesha ordered her

to first poison Huo Zongyao through Madam Feng.

Then she switched Chu Guangsha's immortality pill

and poisoned him too.

[Upright and Honest]

Why would Yesha

target these two men?

Qing Ying was just following orders.

She didn't know Yesha's motives.

Is that all?

That's all.

Before we could learn more,

Qing Ying took her own life.

Then how did you

find out about Chu Guangsha?

Why were you present

at the scene of his sudden death?

It was because of the Huo Mansion's account books.

Huo Dairong discovered

discrepancies in the accounts

that involved Guangsha Villa,

so I took some people there.

Unexpectedly,

we witnessed

Chu Guangsha's sudden death.

At that time, I didn't realize

that Chu Guangsha's death

had any connection to Yesha,

so I didn't promptly

report to the Secret Investigation Unit.

What exactly was wrong

with those account books?

Chu Guangsha once benefited from Huo Zongyao.

Over the years, he had been

secretly transferring money to the Huo Mansion,

all of which can be proven.

If Chief Zhuge requires it,

I can submit the evidence.

My main concern is Yesha, Xiao Beiming.

Besides this,

have you discovered any other

clues about Yesha?

When we get to the Secret Investigation Unit,

what do you plan to tell them?

I want to tell the Secret Investigation Unit everything,

so they can help us too.

No.

You can tell them

what they should know,

but what they shouldn't know

must not be revealed.

Why not?

All public records

of Canfeng Army's actions in Haiya

have been erased.

In this world,

only one person

can do this.

You mean...

Massacring an entire city

is such a heinous crime.

If it wasn't covered up,

it would shake the Qi Kingdom to its core.

His intentions

are beyond our understanding,

but if the Zhuge father and son learned of this,

it could cost them their lives.

That's all.

I've told you

everything I know.

Beiming, food's ready.

Beiming.

Beiming, food's ready.

Beiming!

Beiming!

Beiming.

My needle technique is useless

to him now.

We must find the Fire Cicada,

or Beiming won't survive.

How long can he last?

Maybe three days.

Maybe five days.

Maybe

tomorrow...

Where are you going?

To find someone.

Feng,

is there anything else

we can do for Beiming?

For a city-wide manhunt,

even Chief Fang

needs official documents from the Ministry of Justice

to proceed.

This person is extremely important to me.

I must find him as soon as possible.

Yes, I...

I can help you unofficially,

right?

The others can help too,

but this kind of thing

goes against protocol.

If the Ministry of Justice finds out,

the Elite Constabulary Unit will be in serious trouble.

Jiang Yi,

I'm begging you this time.

I...

I...

Who is this person?

You don't know.

You don't even know

what crime he's committed.

Xueman,

I can't help you.

I...

I'm sorry.

It happened so quickly!

I swept my leg

and tripped that thief.

Who knew

there was another one hiding behind to ambush me?

That's how I got injured.

Easy, easy.

Where did this medicine come from?

[Fuxing Pharmacy]

You came indeed.

How did you know I was coming?

I lured you here on purpose.

Otherwise,

would I be stupid enough to sell medicine

to a constable from the Elite Constabulary Unit?

You knew I was looking for you,

yet you still lured me here.

Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you?

Put down what you're holding.

If I were afraid,

I wouldn't have done this.

What exactly are you trying to do?

I want to make a deal with you.

A deal?

What kind of deal?

He's dying, isn't he?

Who's dying?

You may fool others,

but you can't fool me.

You know who I'm talking about.

No one knows the look of

someone approaching death better than I do.

That day at the Ghost Market,

I only glimpsed him from afar,

but I knew his days were numbered.

If I'm not mistaken,

he was likely afflicted by a type of frost toxin.

The fact that he's survived until now

is already a miracle.

What else do you know?

You came to the Ghost Market that day looking for me

because you wanted the Fire Cicada I possess

to detoxify him.

I'm right, aren't I?

Since you want to make a deal,

state your terms.

I remember telling you

about my rules.

If you want my eyes,

then take them.

You're such a straightforward girl.

I quite like that about you.

But such a pretty face

without eyes...

I'd really hate to see that happen.

What exactly do you want?

I want the Little White Dragon.

Who is the Little White Dragon?

It seems that guy

hasn't told you

his true identity.

Constable Zhong.

How is Beiming doing?

Beiming is still unconscious.

Constable Zhong.

I know

you're still worried about Beiming.

You did your best.

If it weren't for my mistake,

Beiming wouldn't be

in this condition now.

After all we've been through together,

there's no need

to separate you and me,

or who's right and who's wrong.

None of that matters anymore.

Constable Zhong.

No matter what it takes,

I will heal Beiming.

Trust me.

Coroner Feng.

There's something I've been

wanting to ask you.

Go ahead.

Do you really not know

the old man we me

tat the Ghost Market that day?

I don't know him.

Why are you suddenly asking?

It's nothing.

It's just that I don't think I've ever heard you

talk about your childhood.

I was just a farm boy.

When I was young, I met

a traveling doctor from the martial world

who taught me some skills.

There's nothing much to tell.

Poison Valley is the evilest sect in the world.

They've committed countless crimes

and are unforgivable.

This so-called Coroner Feng

is actually the Little White Dragon from Poison Valley.

Poison Valley?

Little White Dragon?

How many lives he has taken

is something only he knows.

That's impossible.

Coroner Feng

isn't that kind of person.

Don't tell me you think

the personal disciple of the Poison Valley Chief

is some kind of saint who wouldn't even

dare to kill a chicken?

It's all an act

to deceive you all.

He is ambitious and killed his master

to steal Poison Valley's sacred

Yin-Yang Book.

I'm looking for him

to avenge my senior.

You consider him a friend,

but who knows

what he wants to trade

your lives for?

I see you still don't believe me.

That's fine.

Just bring him to me

and I'll confront him face to face.

The truth will come out naturally.

Think about it carefully.

Is the person you want to save more important

or someone full of lies

who might harm you all

at any moment?

Constable Zhong.

Constable Zhong.

You seem a bit off today.

It's nothing.

Beiming is seriously ill,

so I'm not in a good mood.

I just wanted someone to talk to.

Don't worry.

Even if it costs me my life, I will save him.

Coroner Feng.

Miss Huo?

Miss Huo, what...

What are you doing here?

Qing Ying is dead.

I'm the only one left

in the vast Huo Mansion.

I really couldn't bear to stay there.

I wanted to chat with

Beiming and Xueman,

but I couldn't find them.

They've gone to bed.

You've been drinking?

Something's troubling you?

No... not really.

Let me walk with you.

Medical texts all say that emotional distress

can only be relieved

by following one's feelings.

Coroner Feng.

If you trust me,

perhaps

you could share your troubles with me.

Miss Huo,

what is a friend?

Why do you ask?

If you

deceived your friends,

would they still want to be your friends?

Would they blame you?

Relationships

are built on trust.

And even more on honesty.

If you deliberately deceive someone,

that's unacceptable.

At the very least,

I wouldn't be friends

with someone full of lies.

But there are exceptions.

What exceptions?

If there's no intention to harm

or a selfish motive,

what's wrong with a white lie?

Who has never

told a few lies in life?

It's like me and Beiming,

and Constable Zhong.

They once suspected me,

causing me a lot of trouble.

I've also deceived them,

causing them many problems.

Now, everything is over.

The case of my parents

has been solved.

I actually hope to become

friends with them.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions.

To understand someone,

look at their everyday words and deeds.

True friends

don't care about

what you did in the past.

They only look forward.

Really?

Of course.

Isn't that what you've done?

Me?

You're willing to stay by Beiming's side

and haven't

feared or avoided him because he is

Qi Kingdom's most wanted criminal.

Isn't it because,

deep down, you believe

in his character

and believe he's not Yesha?

That's why

you fight to clear his name

and worry about his safety.

Why do you still have doubts

about something you've already accomplished?

Judging by your expression,

have your doubts been resolved?

Thank you,

Miss Huo.

Is the person you want to save more important

or someone full of lies

who could harm you all

at any moment?

Think about it carefully.

Have you made up your mind?

As long as it can save his life,

I'll do whatever you ask.

I can give you the person,

but what about the Fire Cicada?

Hand him to me

and I'll give you the Fire Cicada.

Where is he?

It's not safe here.

I've locked him up

somewhere in the suburbs.

I can take you there,

but let me be clear.

If you try any tricks,

I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth.

Lead the way.

He's here.

Where is the Fire Cicada?

I'll take him with me.

We won't be meeting again.

I'll go find Constable Zhong right away.

Coroner Feng.

Constable Zhong?

Constable Zhong,

I'm sorry.

I've been lying to you all along.

I actually have another identity.

I am Little White Dragon.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry,

I've been deceiving you all this time.

I already know everything.

Old Bug told me.

You met Old Bug?

What did he say?

He said

you killed your master

and stole the Yin-Yang Book.

No,

that's impossible.

I couldn't have killed my master.

I didn't steal the Yin-Yang Book.

I know!

I didn't steal the Yin-Yang Book!

I believe you

aren't that kind of person.

I've been looking for a chance all day

to say these words.

You're willing to believe me?

Seeing isn't always believing,

and hearing is even less reliable.

Exactly.

Old Bug was trying to drive us apart.

But he doesn't know

what we've been through together.

If you were a bad person,

Beiming and I

would have died countless times by now.

But I...

How could I let his words

make me...

But I'm from Poison Valley.

Does that matter?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Old Bug approached you

just to sow discord?

No.

He wants me to use

Coroner Feng to exchange for the Fire Cicada.

Don't worry, I won't do that.

I'll think of a solution myself

for the Fire Cicada.

Constable Zhong,

use my life for the exchange.

Coroner Feng!

No way.

What kind of person do you think I am?

Listen to me.

What I mean is,

I have a plan.

So this is where you've been hiding all along?

Fengbo Lake is over there.

It's the place that changed

Beiming's fate three years ago.

Not just his, but mine too,

and that of many others,

including yours.

Indeed,

no one would think of this place.

Beiming is safe here.

Since you brought me here,

does that mean

you completely trust me now?

Actually, there's another purpose

in bringing you here.

He's unconscious and can't speak now,

so I'll speak on his behalf.

About what?

We misunderstood you before.

We apologize to you.

You little girl,

going back on your word!

How dare you be so dishonorable,

stabbing me in the back!

Respected elder,

I'm the one who stabbed you in the back.

Please don't misunderstand dear Zhong.

She'll hand me over; you'll hand over the item.

She handed me over,

but you couldn't take me away.

That's your own incompetence.

How is that her fault?

Twisting words, shameless,

cruel-hearted, lowly,

conspiring together, venomous!

Enough.

Just keep that little bit

of vocabulary to yourself.

You already have the Fire Cicada.

What more do you want?

Let's keep matters separate.

The business between us isn't finished yet.

Avenging your Master,

that old fool?

Do you have what it takes?

How dare you mention it?

Your enemy is standing right before you, yet you can't kill him.

You worthless piece of trash.

I wish I could kill you right now.

But I'm no longer

the Little White Dragon of Poison Valley.

I am Feng Qingzhuo of the Elite Constabulary Unit.

We will definitely

get to the bottom of your crimes,

take you back to the Elite Constabulary Unit,

and make you face justice.

We're running out of time.

We need to quickly bring the Fire Cicada back

for Beiming to take.

What are you laughing about?

I'm laughing at your Master,

that old fool,

for having such poor judgment

in choosing disciples.

You fool.

I'm laughing at you for sending him to his death,

instead of saving him.

What do you mean?

Fire Cicadas can indeed

counteract cold-based toxins.

But using poison to fight poison

requires the toxins not to conflict.

The Fire Cicada's poison is so potent

that if he takes it directly,

the hot and cold toxins will battle inside him.

Forget about detoxification.

He'll die instantly.

You fool.

How should the Fire Cicada be used then?

You must use special herbs

to process the Fire Cicada.

Only then will it slowly release

its warming poison to dispel the cold,

gradually wearing away the frost toxin.

This is

the correct detoxification method.

Do you know how to process the Fire Cicada?

Coroner Feng?

Do you know how to process it?

The method of processing Fire Cicadas

is known only to me in this world.

This idiot

wouldn't know.

Is what he's saying true?

He's right.

Old sir,

if you're willing to save Beiming,

I'll trade my life for his.

But I can't give you Feng Qingzhuo.

Take my life and do

whatever you want with me.

I'm at your disposal.

Xueman, no!

What do you say?

Why would I want your life?

It's completely useless to me.

Actually, Little White Dragon's life

is useless to me too.

This whole time,

I only want...

the Yin-Yang Book.

If you give me the Yin-Yang Book,

I can help you

process the Fire Cicada.

We can't give you the Yin-Yang Book.

Then he can just wait to die.

If you don't teach us

how to process the Fire Cicada,

you'll die immediately.

Young lady,

if you kill me,

then

there will be no one left to save him.

Old Bug was trying to drive us apart.

But he doesn't know

what we've been through together.

If you were a bad person,

Beiming and I

would have died countless times already.

How could I doubt a friend I trust

because of something he said?

But I'm from Poison Valley.

Does that matter?

[Yin-Yang Book]

For this method,

be mindful of the dosage.

Aren't you going to tell them

about your identity?

Someone from Poison Valley

can't possibly be a good person.

Aren't you a good person?

[Yin-Yang Book]

I'll give it to you.

[Yin-Yang Book]

But this is your Master's memento.

[Yin-Yang Book]

Books are dead objects.

If I disregard my friend's life

because of a book,

then I, Feng Qingzhuo,

am not worthy of being a doctor.

Exchanging a book for my friend's life

is worth it.

Give me the Yin-Yang Book.

I can immediately

prepare the Fire Cicada for you.

I can do it!

Give it to me.

G-Give it to me.

Hurry!

[Yin-Yang Book]

Give it to me.

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

I...

I know exactly what kind of person you are.

I'll give you half first.

After you successfully detoxify him,

I'll give you the other half.

Give me that.

Are you dumb?

Right.

It should be fine.

Although Old Bug has done many evil things,

he does have skill in making medicine.

I watched him the whole time.

He didn't try any tricks.

Besides this antidote,

you have no other options.

Why not let him try it?

Master.

Were you in the Canfeng Army?

Am I an orphan from Haiya?

What exactly happened

at Fengbo Lake back then?

Who is Yesha?

Master,

I don't have much time left.

Please speak, Master,

Master!

-Master! -Actually,

every Haiya survivor is Yesha.

As long as there's one survivor

still breathing,

Yesha

will keep coming back,

-including you, Xiao Beiming. -Master is a god.

He is the faith and light

for all Haiya survivors.

He will never die.

He will lead us

to live on

until the Qi Kingdom

pays the price it deserves.

Until we avenge

all the people of Haiya!

Beiming.

Beiming.

Beiming.

Beiming, Beiming!

Beiming.

Take it easy.

How are you feeling, Beiming?

I don't feel as cold anymore.

Feng,

you're so smart!

That's wonderful!

You developed an antidote?

It wasn't me.

It was him.

Seems we have quite a connection.

Sir, thank you for your trouble.

But you're now involved in

a very important case.

Until the case is solved,

I'm afraid we'll have to inconvenience you.

You promised

to let me go after I cured your poison.

Now the poison is gone,

but you're going back on your word.

You people

have absolutely no honor.

Forget it.

I won't hold it against you.

Speak.

What case is it?

The Yesha case.

Yesha?

Aren't you Yesha?

Everyone in the world

knows

that you, Xiao Beiming, are Yesha.

And you have the nerve to ask me?

What a joke.

Sir,

if this is how our conversation will go,

I'm afraid you won't be leaving so easily.

Beiming has already found plenty of evidence

connecting you to Yesha.

You'd better come clean

and tell us everything,

unless you want to suffer.

Even if you have evidence,

what can you do to me?

Turn me over to the authorities?

Then I'll just keep accusing Xiao Beiming.

Or does anyone here have the guts

to kill me right now?

We won't kill you.

We have our own methods.

What do you have in mind?

Old Bug's reputation

is notorious throughout the martial world.

You must know clearly

how many victims

and enemies you have.

All we need to do is spread word

of your whereabouts,

and within two days, you'll be dead for sure,

and it won't be a pretty death.

-You're shameless! -My master taught me

to treat people

the way they deserve to be treated.

Your master wouldn't think of

such underhanded tactics.

You've learned bad habits from them.

Cut the nonsense.

Don't you want the Yin-Yang Book?

As long as you tell us

about Yesha,

I'll not only guarantee

your temporary safety,

but I'll also give you

the other half of the Yin-Yang Book.

Fine,

I'll tell you,

but I'll only tell you alone.

Alright.

Feng,

being alone with him

is too dangerous.

Don't worry.

He can't do anything to me.

But you don't know martial arts.

Isn't he tied up?

We've searched him thoroughly.

-Don't worry. -Tong Shuang.

listen to Feng Qingzhuo.

Beiming.

Come.

We've prepared plenty of food.

These past few days,

we've all been so worried about your condition

that we haven't eaten properly.

Please sit down and eat something.

Thank you, Miss Huo.

I actually intended

to visit you again,

but I unexpectedly fell ill.

Constable Zhong

already told me what you wanted to say.

It's all in the past.

Don't worry about it.

Where's Coroner Feng?

Old Bug wanted to have a private chat with him.

This...

Don't worry,

nothing will happen.

I'll go up and check on them again.

Don't worry, it's fine.

What you most want to know

is probably how your Master

died.

You killed him.

You lost to my master

in the Valley Chief Competition

and were poisoned.

My master not only spared your life

but also saved you.

You repaid kindness with betrayal.

You murdered my master

for that Yin-Yang Book.

You think

I killed him

for the Yin-Yang Book?

Isn't that true?

In Poison Valley,

it's always been our tradition

for disciples to test poisons on each other.

Whoever dies from another's poison

simply lacks skill.

Only you and your master

are hypocrites pretending to be saints,

learning only antidote methods.

Since your master became Valley Chief,

he banned disciples from poisoning each other.

If this continued,

Poison Valley would be filled with

weaklings like you

and your master.

Then how could Poison Valley

still strike fear in the martial world?

My master's kindness

became your reason to kill him?

Calling you a fool

isn't unfair at all.

Cut the nonsense.

Tell me,

how did you kill him with poison?

The ice-heart grass.

The ice-heart grass?

Even I can cure the ice-heart grass's poison!

How could my Master possibly die from it?

It's ironic.

You're now a coroner,

but back then,

you couldn't bear to perform

an autopsy on your own master.

You'd been with your master since you were old enough to remember.

Since you were young,

I'd poisoned him countless times,

but when did I ever harm him?

Giving him the ice-heart grass

was no different than the usual matches

we'd always had.

But I never expected

that he would actually die.

You're lying!

You never think carefully

with your brain.

If I had possessed the kind of poison

that could kill him,

how could I have possibly

lost the Valley Chief position to him?
