00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Are you crazy?

00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,580
Watch where you're going!

00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:16,000

[Tea]

9
00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:26,430
I was chasing a criminal

10
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:27,560
and knocked over your tea stall.

11
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,470
Sorry, miss.

12
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,460
I'll take all your tea leaves.

13
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,440
I'll just take these.

[Episode 7]

16
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,620
After I finish this pot of tea,

17
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,000
I'll go with you.

18
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:37,900
Have a seat.

19
00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:47,070
Green tea from Nanyue.

20
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:49,470
Good eye.

21
00:03:51,150 --> 00:03:53,280
Hibiscus brought it back from Nanyue.

22
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,910
Did you commit

23
00:03:56,310 --> 00:03:57,460
all these murders

24
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,610
to avenge Hibiscus?

25
00:04:02,150 --> 00:04:03,680
If it weren't for Hibiscus,

26
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:07,520
I'd never have
used sewing murder again,

27
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,720
and you never would've seen through me.

28
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,120
And you, Xiao Beiming,

29
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,120
would remain

30
00:04:14,870 --> 00:04:17,130
the evil Yesha who killed his own master.

31
00:04:23,870 --> 00:04:25,270
Was Hibiscus your wife?

32
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,500
Hibiscus was from Nanyue.

33
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,850
She only knew me as a constable.

34
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:32,510
I first met her

35
00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:34,870
when I was working on a case

36
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:35,830
at Nanren Lane.

37
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,560
After that,

38
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:47,680
I couldn't get her out of my mind.

39
00:04:49,950 --> 00:04:50,950
Later,

40
00:04:51,310 --> 00:04:53,370
I went back to Nanren Lane to find her.

41
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:59,950
She told me

42
00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:03,090
that the first time she saw me,

43
00:05:03,390 --> 00:05:04,990
she believed I was a good man.

44
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,600
Later, we got married.

45
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,040
We had no family in this world.

46
00:05:17,310 --> 00:05:19,710
Only heaven and earth witnessed our union.

47
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,920
Those were

48
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,520
the happiest days of my life.

49
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:25,680
From then on,

50
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,900
I didn't want to kill anymore.

51
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:30,830
I just wanted to be

52
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,150
an ordinary constable,

53
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,190
Hibiscus's husband,

54
00:05:36,630 --> 00:05:38,030
and a father to our child.

55
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,480
When I was with her,

56
00:05:41,310 --> 00:05:43,390
all my pain seemed to disappear.

57
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,620
I even forgot that these hands of mine

58
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,310
were once covered in blood.

59
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,620
But unexpectedly,

60
00:05:57,620 --> 00:05:58,700
two months ago,

61
00:05:59,290 --> 00:06:01,000
when I was out on a case...

62
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:07,000
It was all Ajia's fault.

63
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,040
He forced me into it.

64
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:13,920
Take her back.

65
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,630
Ajia,

66
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:42,510
Hu Shisan,

67
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,040
Marquis Jingshan, and those four bitches

68
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,270
killed my wife and child.

69
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,130
I had to make them pay with their lives.

70
00:06:50,270 --> 00:06:51,190
So,

71
00:06:51,950 --> 00:06:53,430
I turned back

72
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,000
into that cold-blooded killer.

73
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,040
Fortunately,

74
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,130
three years had passed,

75
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,800
but I hadn't lost my touch.

76
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:10,240
You had 10,000 ways

77
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,240
to kill them.

78
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,750
Why choose sewing murder?

79
00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:13,550
Because sewing murder

80
00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:15,210
is the most painful way to die.

81
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,820
I had to make sure

82
00:07:16,820 --> 00:07:18,920
they suffered the cruelest punishment.

83
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,820
I never cared

84
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,440
whether it'd cost me my life.

85
00:07:22,270 --> 00:07:23,560
It was Hibiscus

86
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:26,190
and my unborn child

87
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,270
that made me want to live.

88
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:34,750
I know you two

89
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,500
must have many questions.

90
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:38,430
Three years ago,

91
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,480
you lost everything

92
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,630
overnight.

93
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,050
I never knew before

94
00:07:43,050 --> 00:07:44,580
what that feeling was like.

95
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,750
Now I finally understand

96
00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:47,920
that kind of pain.

97
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,720
Go ahead and ask.

98
00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:58,390
I'll tell you

99
00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:59,450
everything I know.

100
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,450
The Fengbo Lake case from three years ago—

101
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,680
was it your doing?

102
00:08:10,430 --> 00:08:11,240
Yes.

103
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,600
Did you kill my father too?

104
00:08:14,590 --> 00:08:17,190
I personally sewed
and murdered Zhong Yunchi.

105
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,920
It's such fine green tea.

106
00:08:27,070 --> 00:08:28,800
It'd be a shame not to finish it.

107
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,870
Why did you do it?

108
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,600
It was Yesha's order.

109
00:08:40,150 --> 00:08:41,630
You'll hide in advance

110
00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:43,240
and kill them

111
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:45,190
after they lose consciousness.

112
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:48,120
Yes, Master.

113
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,600
That day, I hid beneath the deck

114
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,750
for a long time.

115
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:52,840
I only came out
after everything went quiet

116
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,840
on the ship.

117
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,120
When I got in the cabin,

118
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,910
I found those five people

119
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:57,640
had been drugged unconscious—

120
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:59,080
completely unable to move.

121
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,910
So I had no trouble at all

122
00:09:00,910 --> 00:09:02,840
sewing and killing them one by one.

123
00:09:03,510 --> 00:09:05,040
Then why didn't you kill me?

124
00:09:05,390 --> 00:09:06,790
Yesha ordered me

125
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,600
to spare your life.

126
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,390
There's one more thing you must remember:

127
00:09:11,390 --> 00:09:13,030
don't kill everyone;

128
00:09:13,630 --> 00:09:15,630
leave Xiao Beiming alive.

129
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:18,240
Who is Yesha?

130
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,960
If I told you

131
00:09:20,910 --> 00:09:22,970
I never saw him, would you believe me?

132
00:09:23,270 --> 00:09:24,910
How did he give you orders?

133
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,600
And how did he contact you?

134
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,670
He had 10,000 ways to find me.

135
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:31,720
He was an extraordinary genius.

136
00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:32,720
However, every time we met,

137
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,960
he concealed his face.

138
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,360
The Case of the Blood-Weeping Statues
three years ago—

139
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,960
although I carried it out,

140
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,390
the entire murder process

141
00:09:39,390 --> 00:09:41,120
was designed by him alone.

142
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,240
Not just anyone…

143
00:09:44,670 --> 00:09:46,800
can come up with such a foolproof plan.

144
00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:47,840
Then is this person male or female,

145
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,570
old or young?

146
00:09:48,590 --> 00:09:49,440
You must have some idea.

147
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,160
Judging from his build, voice,

148
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,390
and posture,

149
00:09:52,390 --> 00:09:53,550
he should have been

150
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,440
a middle-aged man.

151
00:09:58,390 --> 00:09:59,480
A middle-aged man?

152
00:10:01,270 --> 00:10:02,870
But he might be dead already.

153
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:05,480
What do you mean?

154
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,600
That day,

155
00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:08,430
when I was hiding under the deck,

156
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,670
I vaguely heard

157
00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:11,600
what sounded like his voice above.

158
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:12,510
Everyone here

159
00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:13,960
is a suspect,

160
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,550
but only one can be Yesha.

161
00:10:15,550 --> 00:10:16,670
What I've seen today

162
00:10:16,670 --> 00:10:18,090
has confirmed

163
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,270
my speculation.

164
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,270
Minister Miao, what are you trying to say?

165
00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:23,550
Mr. Miao,

166
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:25,440
don't push this

167
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,440
to a point of no return.

168
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:30,000
However, I couldn't tell

169
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,200
exactly who he was.

170
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,030
If he really was

171
00:10:32,030 --> 00:10:33,480
on that ship,

172
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,730
he might have been killed by me.

173
00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:37,360
How is that possible?

174
00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:38,600
Why would Yesha send someone

175
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,550
to kill himself?

176
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:42,750
He never did things

177
00:10:42,750 --> 00:10:44,510
the way others would.

178
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:45,900
So nothing he did

179
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,150
surprised me.

180
00:10:47,550 --> 00:10:49,210
So after the Fengbo Lake case,

181
00:10:49,790 --> 00:10:51,360
you never saw him again?

182
00:10:51,910 --> 00:10:53,840
That day, Yesha gave me two orders.

183
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,270
The first was to kill.

184
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,630
Second…

185
00:10:58,870 --> 00:11:00,080
Once it's done,

186
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,080
infiltrate the Elite Constabulary Unit

187
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,670
and track down Shen Bi.

188
00:11:03,790 --> 00:11:05,050
Rest assured, Master.

189
00:11:05,270 --> 00:11:06,550
Once I find him,

190
00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:07,960
I'll kill him.

191
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:09,240
Later, I managed

192
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,840
to join the Elite Constabulary Unit,

193
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,080
but I never found

194
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,440
any trace of Shen Bi.

195
00:11:14,180 --> 00:11:16,440
I heard that after the Fengbo Lake case,

196
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,240
he retired and left the capital.

197
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,270
Most likely,

198
00:11:19,270 --> 00:11:21,550
the Secret Investigation Unit
is hiding him.

199
00:11:21,550 --> 00:11:22,210
After that,

200
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,440
I never saw him again,

201
00:11:24,030 --> 00:11:24,740
nor did I

202
00:11:24,770 --> 00:11:26,770
receive any more orders from Yesha.

203
00:11:28,750 --> 00:11:31,120
Could Yesha really be dead?

204
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:34,350
I've told you everything I know.

205
00:11:34,670 --> 00:11:35,600
Let's go.

206
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:01,870
By the way,

207
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:04,530
there's one thing

208
00:12:04,530 --> 00:12:05,660
I forgot to tell you.

209
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:11,150
Do you know the true meaning

210
00:12:11,150 --> 00:12:12,440
of the word "Yesha"?

211
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,400
Are you talking about

212
00:12:16,910 --> 00:12:18,030
Haiya?

213
00:12:18,670 --> 00:12:19,600
Haiya?

214
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,030
Zhong Yunchi,

215
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,790
when will you stop pretending?

216
00:12:26,330 --> 00:12:29,240
[Fengbo Lake, three years ago]

217
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,130
King Zhong of Constables

218
00:12:28,130 --> 00:12:29,840
always handles cases by the book

219
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,440
and never crosses the line.

220
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,370
Yet today,

221
00:12:32,390 --> 00:12:33,600
without any evidence,

222
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,910
you lured us onto this ship

223
00:12:34,910 --> 00:12:36,600
into a death trap.

224
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,150
Is this really

225
00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:40,790
how the King of Constables
usually solves crimes?

226
00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:42,320
You're clearly trying

227
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,120
to silence us forever.

228
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:44,600
You...

229
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,360
Your plan is to kill us first

230
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,720
and then accuse one of us

231
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,810
on the ship

232
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,080
of being Yesha.

233
00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:51,630
You can say the others

234
00:12:51,630 --> 00:12:52,930
died unfortunately

235
00:12:52,950 --> 00:12:54,210
while fighting Yesha.

236
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,440
Then you can walk away clean.

237
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,030
Constable Xiao,

238
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,320
why did your master insist

239
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,600
you not board this ship?

240
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,600
Because you were never

241
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,080
part of his plan!

242
00:13:05,510 --> 00:13:06,600
Am I right,

243
00:13:06,630 --> 00:13:08,960
Zhong Yunchi, King of Constables?

244
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,550
Or should I call you

245
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:11,600
Yesha?

246
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,240
Nonsense!

247
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,960
My master invited you to the ship

248
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,390
just to find out who Yesha is.

249
00:13:17,390 --> 00:13:18,670
He has never thought of framing

250
00:13:18,670 --> 00:13:19,790
or harming anyone!

251
00:13:19,790 --> 00:13:20,910
Mr. Miao,

252
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,160
don't push this

253
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:25,200
to a point of no return.

254
00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:31,550
What exactly do you know?

255
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,000
So you've found something

256
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,860
in the past three years after all.

257
00:13:35,790 --> 00:13:37,080
I'm from Haiya—

258
00:13:37,510 --> 00:13:39,790
one of the few survivors.

259
00:13:40,670 --> 00:13:41,790
An orphan of Haiya.

260
00:13:41,790 --> 00:13:42,670
Where is Haiya?

261
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,880
What really happened back then?

262
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,970
I knew you wouldn't believe me.

263
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,960
Let me tell you one more story.

264
00:13:53,510 --> 00:13:54,480
What story?

265
00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:56,080
What are you trying to say?

266
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,390
Calm down.

267
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,440
You'll understand when I finish.

268
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,600
Long ago,

269
00:14:00,670 --> 00:14:02,390
on the border of the Qi Kingdom,

270
00:14:02,390 --> 00:14:03,960
there was a small city

271
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,120
called Haiya.

272
00:14:05,390 --> 00:14:06,870
It was isolated

273
00:14:06,870 --> 00:14:07,870
and sparsely populated,

274
00:14:07,870 --> 00:14:09,550
with fewer than 10,000 residents.

275
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:10,600
But they lived

276
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,060
in peace and contentment.

277
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,720
Then one day,

278
00:14:13,870 --> 00:14:16,120
something strange happened in Haiya.

279
00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:18,030
A horde of monstrous creatures

280
00:14:18,030 --> 00:14:19,510
invaded Haiya.

281
00:14:19,870 --> 00:14:21,030
These demons

282
00:14:21,030 --> 00:14:22,550
were vicious, brutal,

283
00:14:22,670 --> 00:14:24,510
and immune to blades, fire, and water.

284
00:14:24,510 --> 00:14:25,550
In just one night,

285
00:14:25,790 --> 00:14:28,120
they slaughtered all the citizens.

286
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,270
From then on, Haiya disappeared

287
00:14:30,270 --> 00:14:31,720
from the map of the Qi Kingdom,

288
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,790
becoming nothing but a folk legend.

289
00:14:33,870 --> 00:14:35,720
You're rambling on and on.

290
00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:37,480
What are you trying to say?

291
00:14:37,550 --> 00:14:39,840
"Yesha" is actually a name

292
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,810
given to the demons

293
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,270
who slaughtered everyone
in Haiya back then.

294
00:14:44,270 --> 00:14:46,120
A small frontier city,

295
00:14:46,270 --> 00:14:48,480
slaughtered in a single night.

296
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,250
Sometimes, humans can be more evil

297
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,630
than ghosts.

298
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,510
You're saying it was done by humans?

299
00:14:56,510 --> 00:14:58,390
In fact, there are no ghosts
in this world.

300
00:14:58,390 --> 00:15:00,050
It was all done by human hands.

301
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,720
Not only did they massacre the city,

302
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:11,550
but they also found a scapegoat,

303
00:15:13,030 --> 00:15:13,720
claiming Yesha

304
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,250
was the vengeful ghost
that destroyed Haiya.

305
00:15:16,670 --> 00:15:18,270
But let me tell you the truth:

306
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:19,870
every single survivor

307
00:15:19,870 --> 00:15:21,870
of that massacre is Yesha.

308
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,480
As long as there's one survivor

309
00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:25,840
still breathing,

310
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,200
Yesha

311
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,790
will keep coming back.

312
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,670
That includes you, Xiao Beiming.

313
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,670
King Zhong of Constables,

314
00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:35,720
I suppose Constable Xiao has no idea

315
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,000
that you've always known

316
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,870
what Yesha really means.

317
00:15:38,910 --> 00:15:39,910
Have you never told him

318
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:40,830
the truth because

319
00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:41,720
you don't want him to know

320
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:42,980
what you did years ago?

321
00:15:45,390 --> 00:15:47,390
Yesha, confess now!

322
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,150
Do you want me to continue?

323
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,010
What do you mean?

324
00:15:54,910 --> 00:15:56,480
Do you think capturing me

325
00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:58,240
will clear your name?

326
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,360
As Hibiscus's husband,

327
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,480
my wish has been fulfilled.

328
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,940
But as someone from Haiya,

329
00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:03,880
there's one last thing I can do.

330
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,870
Where is Haiya?

331
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,510
What really happened back then?

332
00:16:15,510 --> 00:16:16,720
Once I die,

333
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,390
you'll still be Yesha.

334
00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:19,030
You'll have to

335
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:20,720
keep walking down this path.

336
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,750
The further you go, the darker it gets,

337
00:16:22,750 --> 00:16:24,670
until you fall into an endless abyss.

338
00:16:24,670 --> 00:16:27,200
You'll become just like
the ghost who slaughtered Haiya

339
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,510
and never go to the afterlife.

340
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,790
Zhu Yitie. Zhu Yitie!

341
00:16:40,390 --> 00:16:41,240
Zhu Yitie!

342
00:16:53,750 --> 00:16:54,480
Wait,

343
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:55,790
how could you bury Constable Zhu

344
00:16:55,790 --> 00:16:57,190
together with Hibiscus?

345
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,320
Constable Zhu was Tailor,

346
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,030
the killer.

347
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,230
You should've taken his body

348
00:17:00,230 --> 00:17:01,030
to the Elite Constabulary Unit.

349
00:17:01,030 --> 00:17:02,670
Only then can his name be cleared.

350
00:17:02,670 --> 00:17:03,870
Zhu Yitie is dead,

351
00:17:04,270 --> 00:17:05,400
and dead men tell no tales.

352
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,270
With only us testifying for Beiming,

353
00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:08,170
who'd believe us?

354
00:17:08,170 --> 00:17:09,240
Wouldn't the wounds on Zhu Yitie

355
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,310
be proof enough?

356
00:17:10,349 --> 00:17:11,240
People will only think

357
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,440
I was the one

358
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,970
who sewed and murdered him.

359
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,270
But your name

360
00:17:16,270 --> 00:17:17,829
still hasn't been cleared.

361
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,400
At least you believe me now,

362
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,109
don't you?

363
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,400
Yes, I've believed you all along.

364
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,590
C-Constable Zhong…

365
00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:19,920
Dad,

366
00:18:20,830 --> 00:18:21,720
what is it?

367
00:18:22,270 --> 00:18:23,510
Your dowry.

368
00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:25,240
I've deposited all the deeds

369
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,440
to our lands and shops

370
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,550
in a bank.

371
00:18:30,790 --> 00:18:32,680
This thumb ring is the token.

372
00:18:32,830 --> 00:18:33,510
Dad,

373
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:35,680
why are you giving me this now?

374
00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:36,480
After I get married,

375
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,960
we'll still live together.

376
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,200
It doesn't matter
whether you keep it or I do.

377
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,000
Silly girl,

378
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,660
just take it when I tell you to.

379
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,720
A girl

380
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,830
needs money

381
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,480
to have confidence.

382
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,030
Beiming,

383
00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:55,210
are you worried about Dad?

384
00:18:55,790 --> 00:18:58,160
I can't shake the feeling
that something's off.

385
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,160
Off how?

386
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,480
I've worked with Master for years.

387
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,110
No matter how brutal the criminal

388
00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:04,440
or how dangerous the situation,

389
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,240
he was always calm and composed.

390
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,510
But the look on his face yesterday…

391
00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:08,970
I had never seen it before.

392
00:19:09,490 --> 00:19:10,480
He looked like

393
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,480
he was saying his goodbyes.

394
00:19:14,030 --> 00:19:15,360
Now that you mention it,

395
00:19:16,110 --> 00:19:16,640
I also feel

396
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,100
something's off with Dad.

397
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:19,010
Yesterday,

398
00:19:19,010 --> 00:19:20,470
he gave me this thumb ring,

399
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:21,880
calling it a dowry.

400
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,480
But it felt more like
he was entrusting it to me.

401
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:41,640
Do you think my dad…

402
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,200
could be Yesha?

403
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:46,340
Zhu Yitie said

404
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:48,200
Yesha was on the ship at that time.

405
00:19:48,510 --> 00:19:49,910
And the order given to him

406
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,000
was to keep you alive.

407
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,960
I remember it clearly.

408
00:19:54,270 --> 00:19:55,070
That day, Dad kept

409
00:19:55,070 --> 00:19:56,720
trying to stop you from boarding the ship.

410
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,920
And after boarding,

411
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,560
who else could have been

412
00:20:00,580 --> 00:20:01,590
merciful enough

413
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,540
to spare your life

414
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:04,510
except my dad?

415
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,020
That's exactly what I've been trying

416
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,240
to uncover for the past three years.

417
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,440
Back then, on the ship at Fengbo Lake,

418
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,700
before I passed out...

419
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:15,480
Yesha, confess now!

420
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,050
At that moment,

421
00:20:16,050 --> 00:20:17,550
I saw Master's eyes.

422
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,960
I had never seen him like that before.

423
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,440
So angry,

424
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,310
so frenzied,

425
00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:23,510
and so out of control.

426
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,770
I was just about to stop him,

427
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,310
and then I blacked out.

428
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:30,830
You've suspected my dad

429
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:32,160
all along, haven't you?

430
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,920
I've always wanted to prove

431
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,380
that Master wasn't Yesha.

432
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,790
After I escaped three years ago,

433
00:20:38,790 --> 00:20:40,350
the only clue I had left to find Yesha

434
00:20:40,350 --> 00:20:41,750
was Haiya.

435
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,590
Haiya really does

436
00:20:44,590 --> 00:20:45,640
exist.

437
00:20:45,790 --> 00:20:48,070
I don't know exactly where it is,

438
00:20:48,350 --> 00:20:49,960
and I'm afraid no one does.

439
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,400
All I've heard is that Haiya

440
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,550
is somewhere near the border.

441
00:20:54,790 --> 00:20:56,310
Miao Jie mentioned Haiya,

442
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,680
and judging from Master's reaction,

443
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,400
he clearly knew about it too.

444
00:21:00,030 --> 00:21:00,750
If Yesha

445
00:21:00,750 --> 00:21:02,410
was truly connected to Haiya,

446
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,590
then finding Haiya

447
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,440
could uncover clues about him

448
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,350
and prove once and for all

449
00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:08,990
whether Master was Yesha.

450
00:21:08,990 --> 00:21:10,680
But I advise you to stop searching.

451
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,400
Why?

452
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,480
Because even if you find it,

453
00:21:13,590 --> 00:21:14,590
it won't matter.

454
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:15,790
Sir,

455
00:21:15,790 --> 00:21:17,120
what do you mean by that?

456
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,590
Everyone there died long ago.

457
00:21:22,790 --> 00:21:23,790
For these three years,

458
00:21:23,790 --> 00:21:24,400
I went through

459
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,330
all available documents and maps.

460
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,270
But none of them

461
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:28,510
mentioned Haiya.

462
00:21:29,350 --> 00:21:30,310
Miao Jie said

463
00:21:30,510 --> 00:21:32,200
Haiya was a border town.

464
00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:33,910
So during these three years,

465
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,000
I searched all along
the Qi Kingdom border.

466
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,840
Legend says

467
00:21:37,870 --> 00:21:39,550
demons once appeared in Haiya,

468
00:21:39,550 --> 00:21:41,350
and everyone in the city

469
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,310
was slaughtered

470
00:21:42,310 --> 00:21:44,350
in a single night.

471
00:21:44,510 --> 00:21:46,310
Even government troops were alarmed.

472
00:21:46,310 --> 00:21:48,480
They told us demons were coming

473
00:21:48,550 --> 00:21:50,750
and we should stay inside for a few days.

474
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,780
But nothing happened afterward.

475
00:21:52,790 --> 00:21:54,310
So many years have passed,

476
00:21:54,310 --> 00:21:56,750
but still, no one dares search for Haiya.

477
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,720
Sir,

478
00:21:59,030 --> 00:22:00,110
do you know

479
00:22:00,110 --> 00:22:01,590
when all this happened?

480
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,680
The 36th year of Ningtai.

481
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,100
I did manage to find

482
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:07,510
the general direction of Haiya,

483
00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:08,920
but that whole region is mountainous—

484
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,920
I couldn't find the exact location.

485
00:22:12,030 --> 00:22:13,070
From Zhu Yitie's confession,

486
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:13,960
we can deduce

487
00:22:14,030 --> 00:22:15,440
that everything Yesha did

488
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,110
was to avenge Haiya.

489
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:19,310
We just don't know

490
00:22:19,310 --> 00:22:20,740
what those assassination victims

491
00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:22,330
actually did back then.

492
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,680
Don't worry.

493
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,340
Although there are still many mysteries

494
00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:27,600
that remain unsolved,

495
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,160
I refuse to believe

496
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,310
that the upright, principled master

497
00:22:31,310 --> 00:22:33,480

[Elite Constabulary Unit]

572
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,720
Zhu Yitie is missing?

573
00:25:38,790 --> 00:25:39,680
The last time he was seen

574
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,110
was during the search at the cliff bottom,

575
00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:42,680
and then he vanished without a trace.

576
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,480
Yes, we've been searching for days,

577
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,810
but still no sign of him.

578
00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:47,000
You.

579
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,030
Have you seen Zhu Yitie?

580
00:25:49,030 --> 00:25:49,750
No.

581
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,400
Keep searching!

582
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,880
I want him found, dead or alive!

583
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Yes.

584
00:25:56,210 --> 00:26:03,590
[Justice Gate]

585
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,440
Even a constable
from the Elite Constabulary Unit

586
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,750
can go missing now?

587
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:01,030
If word gets out,

588
00:26:01,030 --> 00:26:02,480
we'll be a laughingstock.

589
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:03,000
Yes.

590
00:26:06,350 --> 00:26:06,880
Boss.

591
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,330
You wanted to see me?

592
00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:10,270
I have a task for you.

593
00:26:10,270 --> 00:26:11,160
Cleaning the courtyard?

594
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,000
No problem. Leave it to me.

595
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:12,720
Not that.

596
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,400
I want to be Yesha again.

597
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,550
Yesha?

598
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:20,960
I disagree.

599
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:21,880
After the corpse-sewing cases,

600
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,310
although we couldn't prove your innocence,

601
00:26:23,310 --> 00:26:24,240
both the Elite Constabulary
and Secret Investigation Units

602
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,310
believe you're dead,

603
00:26:25,310 --> 00:26:26,660
so you're safe for now.

604
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,160
But you...

605
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,620
My safety doesn't matter.

606
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,780
If three years ago,

607
00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:30,960
the Case of the Blood-Weeping Statues

608
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,480
was Yesha's revenge

609
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,030
against high-ranking officials,

610
00:26:33,030 --> 00:26:34,550
then Mr. Shen, who's still alive,

611
00:26:34,550 --> 00:26:35,720
must know what happened

612
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,350
in Haiya back then.

613
00:26:36,350 --> 00:26:38,080
Mr. Shen retired and went home,

614
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,680
and hasn't been heard from since.

615
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,070
The Secret Investigation Unit.

616
00:26:41,070 --> 00:26:42,720
But this is too dangerous.

617
00:26:42,790 --> 00:26:44,270
They all think you're Yesha.

618
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:45,470
If they discover you,

619
00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:47,200
you'll be

620
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,330
in constant danger.

621
00:26:48,590 --> 00:26:49,400
That's right.

622
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,440
You still have
the frost toxin in your body.

623
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,960
That's precisely

624
00:26:53,110 --> 00:26:54,240
why I have to do this.

625
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Xueman,

626
00:26:56,750 --> 00:26:58,400
I don't have much time left.

627
00:27:02,590 --> 00:27:06,000
He just vanished without a trace.

628
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:12,640
Father,

629
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,680
knowing Xiao Beiming as I do,

630
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,250
I find it hard to believe

631
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,460
that the Yesha case

632
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,270
would end this way.

633
00:27:19,750 --> 00:27:22,720
The problem is how to report this
to His Majesty.

634
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,350
Chief,

635
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:28,240
Young Master.

636
00:27:28,590 --> 00:27:28,880
Ye…

637
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,100
Yesha has appeared again.

638
00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:35,440
A servant at the Shen Mansion found it

639
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,000
and instantly reported it
to the Secret Investigation Unit.

640
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,260
Did he leave any clues?

641
00:27:38,270 --> 00:27:39,400
He came and went like a ghost,

642
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:44,410
[Shen Mansion]

643
00:27:39,550 --> 00:27:41,010
leaving no traces behind.

644
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,790
Any casualties at the Shen Mansion?

645
00:27:42,790 --> 00:27:43,640
None so far.

646
00:27:49,650 --> 00:27:51,590
[Yesha]

647
00:27:54,270 --> 00:27:55,030
Li Long,

648
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,000
take your men

649
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,600
to Chunyu Town immediately.

650
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,240
Yes.

651
00:27:58,380 --> 00:27:59,550
[Yesha]

652
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:59,310
Wait.

653
00:27:59,790 --> 00:28:00,440
Father,

654
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,720
it may be a trap.

655
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,590
Whether it's a trap or not doesn't matter.

656
00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:04,400
What matters is

657
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,600
that we must ensure nothing goes wrong.

658
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,160
Once you reach Chunyu Town,

659
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,420
escort Mr. Shen
to the safe house at once.

660
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:10,920
Yes.

661
00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:12,240
You guys,

662
00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:13,040
come with me.

663
00:28:16,460 --> 00:28:21,650
[Yesha]

664
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:20,400
My Lord,

665
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,860
Zhu Yitie betrayed you.

666
00:28:21,860 --> 00:28:23,520
He deserved worse than death.

667
00:28:23,590 --> 00:28:24,480
It's just a pity

668
00:28:24,790 --> 00:28:26,310
that he didn't die by our hands.

669
00:28:26,310 --> 00:28:27,790
Blinded by love.

670
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,550
But he was

671
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,040
of no value to us anymore.

672
00:28:31,070 --> 00:28:31,930
I'm just afraid

673
00:28:32,350 --> 00:28:34,480
he revealed something before he died.

674
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,570
That's alright.

675
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,000
It's better if he told

676
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,720
everything he knew.

677
00:28:41,590 --> 00:28:44,070
If Xiao Beiming insists
on seeing the truth,

678
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,790
then we'll lead him

679
00:28:45,790 --> 00:28:47,350
and show him the truth.

680
00:28:47,820 --> 00:28:49,440
Let the entire Qi Kingdom

681
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,160
see the truth!

682
00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:56,480
Success or failure; survival or ruin;
blessing or curse.

683
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,160
That's the way of all times.

684
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,350
One must hold to the fundamentals,

685
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,550
stay true to oneself,

686
00:29:04,270 --> 00:29:06,590
and remain humble and restrained.

687
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,720
That's the art of ruling.

688
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,340
[Shen Bi]

689
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,830
Greetings, Your Majesty.

690
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,160
Mr. Shen.

691
00:29:19,790 --> 00:29:21,750
Mr. Shen, are you all right?

692
00:29:23,350 --> 00:29:24,480
Thank you, Your Majesty.

693
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,960
I'm completely unharmed.

694
00:29:27,310 --> 00:29:28,480
Sir,

695
00:29:28,550 --> 00:29:29,970
there's a man on horseback outside

696
00:29:29,970 --> 00:29:30,970
asking to see you.

697
00:29:44,310 --> 00:29:47,200
Greetings, Mr. Shen. I'm Li Long
from the Secret Investigation Unit.

698
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:47,920
Mr. Shen,

699
00:29:48,110 --> 00:29:49,910
I have urgent matters to report.

700
00:29:51,550 --> 00:29:53,880
I have long retired

701
00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:55,480
and hold no official position.

702
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,270
Now,

703
00:29:56,830 --> 00:29:59,270
I'm just an ordinary teacher.

704
00:30:00,070 --> 00:30:01,110
Sorry, Mr. Shen.

705
00:30:01,270 --> 00:30:03,870
You have to stay in the safe house
for a few days.

706
00:30:05,070 --> 00:30:06,110
Here?

707
00:30:07,790 --> 00:30:08,920
You still haven't

708
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,180
caught this Yesha after all these years?

709
00:30:11,270 --> 00:30:12,550
I've been hiding away

710
00:30:12,550 --> 00:30:14,200
in the remote countryside,

711
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,550
and now I have to be locked up here

712
00:30:16,550 --> 00:30:17,720
like a prisoner?

713
00:30:22,510 --> 00:30:23,880
Unbelievable!

714
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,310
You guys stay here

715
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,240
to make sure

716
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,310
Mr. Shen stays safe.

717
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:34,490
That damned Xiao Beiming

718
00:30:34,510 --> 00:30:36,110
is so cunning.

719
00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:39,270
Father, don't worry.

720
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,970
As long as he's still alive,

721
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,170
I'll capture him with my own hands.

722
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,600
But there's one thing

723
00:30:46,070 --> 00:30:47,530
I still don't understand.

724
00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:51,400
Why did he show up

725
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,350
this time?

726
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,520
What's wrong?

727
00:31:02,590 --> 00:31:03,400
Oh, no.

728
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,060
I need to go to Chunyu Town myself.

729
00:31:12,590 --> 00:31:13,390
Young Master.

730
00:31:14,750 --> 00:31:15,680
Is Mr. Shen safe?

731
00:31:16,310 --> 00:31:18,240
He's in the safe house. All is well.

732
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:34,640
Mr. Shen.

733
00:31:43,830 --> 00:31:44,310
Mr…

734
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,070
I followed the Secret Investigation Unit

735
00:32:08,070 --> 00:32:09,070
to Chunyu Town

736
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:09,510
and found Mr. Shen

737
00:32:09,510 --> 00:32:10,720
in a place

738
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:11,550
with lots of children.

739
00:32:11,550 --> 00:32:12,400
That's a school.

740
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,070
Yes, that's right, a school.

741
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,600
Later, they took Mr. Shen

742
00:32:15,620 --> 00:32:17,030
to a small house.

743
00:32:17,070 --> 00:32:19,400
That house was surrounded by mountains.

744
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,830
That's a safe house.

745
00:32:20,830 --> 00:32:22,160
Boss, I was planning

746
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,350
to come back and report to you,

747
00:32:23,350 --> 00:32:24,000
but then

748
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,590
Zhuge Kongyun went in there.

749
00:32:25,590 --> 00:32:26,750
That's when I felt

750
00:32:26,750 --> 00:32:27,510
something was wrong.

751
00:32:27,510 --> 00:32:29,400
Guess what happened next?

752
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:30,640
Stop keeping us in suspense.

753
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:31,310
Just get on with it.

754
00:32:31,310 --> 00:32:31,880
What happened?

755
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,340
What happened to Mr. Shen?

756
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:34,830
He died.

757
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,480
Who was it that promised me

758
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,680
Mr. Shen would be safe

759
00:32:42,750 --> 00:32:43,880
as long as he retired

760
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,750
and hid in the countryside?

761
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:46,750
Is this how

762
00:32:46,770 --> 00:32:48,330
you protected him for me?

763
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,030
Your Majesty,

764
00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:51,400
I-I failed in my duty.

765
00:32:51,550 --> 00:32:53,920
I deserve to die for this.

766
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Your Majesty,

767
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,240
when I learned that Yesha had appeared,

768
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,070
I immediately sent men

769
00:32:58,070 --> 00:32:59,040
to escort Mr. Shen

770
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,040
to the safe house.

771
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,040
The safe house was heavily guarded,

772
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,070
but unexpectedly,

773
00:33:03,070 --> 00:33:04,930
Yesha still managed to get to him.

774
00:33:05,070 --> 00:33:06,590
How did Mr. Shen die?

775
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,110
Boss, I followed
your instructions carefully.

776
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:09,680
I neither approached nor made a sound.

777
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,610
After they left,

778
00:33:10,620 --> 00:33:11,720
I bribed one of the guards.

779
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:12,790
The guard told me

780
00:33:12,830 --> 00:33:14,510
that Mr. Shen was poisoned.

781
00:33:14,510 --> 00:33:16,070
They found poison

782
00:33:16,070 --> 00:33:17,200
in the pastry he ate.

783
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:19,790
The Secret Investigation Unit

784
00:33:19,790 --> 00:33:21,550
has made such a grave mistake

785
00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:24,570
and caused me
to lose a beloved official.

786
00:33:24,590 --> 00:33:25,550
Zhuge Kongyun.

787
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,070
Zhuge Kongyun!

788
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,060
How long do you intend

789
00:33:28,060 --> 00:33:29,350
to keep fooling me?

790
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,130
I wouldn't dare.

791
00:33:31,350 --> 00:33:32,470
I've carefully checked

792
00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:33,830
every room in the safe house.

793
00:33:33,830 --> 00:33:34,960
In the end, I found

794
00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:36,400
that the pastry

795
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,590
Mr. Shen ate

796
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,690
contained a deadly poison—

797
00:33:44,790 --> 00:33:45,990
Heart-Severing Red.

798
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:47,790
The murder of Mr. Shen

799
00:33:47,790 --> 00:33:49,520
was the false news we released.

800
00:33:49,750 --> 00:33:51,240
Zhu Yitie is dead,

801
00:33:51,590 --> 00:33:52,400
and before he died,

802
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,920
he confessed
to killing Yesha at Fengbo Lake.

803
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,720
So who killed Mr. Shen?

804
00:33:57,110 --> 00:33:58,440
Was Zhu Yitie lying,

805
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,400
and Yesha isn't dead at all,

806
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,330
or is Yesha someone else entirely?

807
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,720
I'm from Haiya.

808
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,790
One of the few survivors.

809
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,440
An orphan of Haiya.

810
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:08,960
There are no ghosts in this world.

811
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,630
Everything is done by human hands.

812
00:34:10,630 --> 00:34:12,590
Sometimes, humans can be more evil

813
00:34:13,710 --> 00:34:15,550
than ghosts.

814
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,400
Zhu Yitie once said…

815
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:21,480
as long as Haiya

816
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:22,960
has a single survivor,

817
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:24,670
Yesha will

818
00:34:24,670 --> 00:34:26,310
keep appearing.

819
00:34:27,150 --> 00:34:28,510
If Tong Shuang could
follow the Secret Investigation Unit

820
00:34:28,510 --> 00:34:29,550
to find Mr. Shen,

821
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,230
so could others.

822
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,440
We never know if we're the predator
or the prey.

823
00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:35,230
Boss,

824
00:34:35,550 --> 00:34:36,360
did I

825
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,670
cause Mr. Shen's death?

826
00:34:37,670 --> 00:34:39,280
It had nothing to do with you.

827
00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:42,440
I miscalculated.

828
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,130
We originally planned to test the waters,

829
00:34:45,150 --> 00:34:46,070
using the Secret Investigation Unit

830
00:34:46,070 --> 00:34:47,320
to protect Mr. Shen

831
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,800
and then finding a way to meet him.

832
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:49,280
Unexpectedly,

833
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,139
Yesha turned our plan against us.

834
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:55,750
So was there a traitor in the safe house?

835
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,280
Or did someone get bribed?

836
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,710
At first,

837
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,180
I made the same assumption.

838
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:01,550
[Seal]

839
00:35:00,230 --> 00:35:02,320
But when the coroner
examined the other pastries,

840
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,400
no poison was found.

841
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,440
Moreover, the food

842
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,760
at the safe house was inspected

843
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,760
by multiple people.

844
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,820
Bribing all of them

845
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:08,840
would be nearly impossible.

846
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:09,620
I also interrogated

847
00:35:09,620 --> 00:35:11,230
everyone who inspected the food

848
00:35:11,230 --> 00:35:13,400
and ruled out
the possibility of poisoning.

849
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,480
You don't need to explain

850
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,760
so elaborately to me.

851
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,590
Just tell me,

852
00:35:16,590 --> 00:35:17,000
how did

853
00:35:17,020 --> 00:35:18,750
the poison get into the pastry?

854
00:35:19,550 --> 00:35:20,230
No, wait.

855
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:21,440
You saw with your own eyes

856
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,360
that Mr. Shen was escorted
into the safe house,

857
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,360
and he was fine at that time,

858
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:24,760
right?

859
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:25,870
Yes, perfectly fine.

860
00:35:25,870 --> 00:35:26,870
Healthy and well.

861
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,080
Logically speaking,

862
00:35:28,150 --> 00:35:29,110
once inside the safe house,

863
00:35:29,110 --> 00:35:30,710
he should've been completely safe.

864
00:35:30,710 --> 00:35:32,480
So how was the poison administered?

865
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,590
Could it be like

866
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:34,880
the Case of the Blood-Weeping Statues

867
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,190
where the killer bribed someone

868
00:35:36,190 --> 00:35:36,920
on the inside?

869
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,400
All food in the safe house

870
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,000
goes through multiple inspections,

871
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,710
with silver needle testing every time.

872
00:35:41,710 --> 00:35:43,760
If someone wanted to sneak in
and poison him,

873
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:44,320
they'd need

874
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,920
to bribe every single tester.

875
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,110
That was nearly impossible.

876
00:35:47,110 --> 00:35:48,360
I'll go out and investigate further

877
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,290
to see if there are any other clues.

878
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,280
Your Majesty,

879
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,880
everything I've said is true.

880
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:00,920
Poison was indeed found

881
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:01,960
in the pastry

882
00:36:01,980 --> 00:36:02,760
Mr. Shen ate.

883
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:03,720
But the poison

884
00:36:04,590 --> 00:36:06,550
was administered by Mr. Shen himself.

885
00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:07,960
You mean Mr. Shen

886
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,710
poisoned himself?

887
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:10,800
Ridiculous!

888
00:36:19,710 --> 00:36:20,400
Delicious.

889
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,150
Do you have to munch?

890
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,840
Would it kill you to eat slower?

891
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:25,690
Slow down, or you'll end up

892
00:36:25,690 --> 00:36:26,320
swallowing

893
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,070
the wax paper

894
00:36:27,070 --> 00:36:28,480
and get a stomachache.

895
00:36:30,070 --> 00:36:30,920
The poison Mr. Shen took

896
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,120
wasn't in the pastry.

897
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:33,760
Not in the pastry?

898
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,190
Then where?

899
00:36:34,190 --> 00:36:34,590
That's right.

900
00:36:34,590 --> 00:36:36,280
That's like tears flowing
above the eyebrows—

901
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,280
it makes no sense.

902
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,760
Then how was he poisoned?

903
00:36:40,510 --> 00:36:41,230
Tong Shuang,

904
00:36:41,230 --> 00:36:42,220
did Mr. Shen bring any luggage

905
00:36:42,220 --> 00:36:43,950
when he entered the safe house?

906
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,000
Just one case.

907
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,150
Probably just some spare clothes.

908
00:36:50,110 --> 00:36:51,770
The poison was in his luggage.

909
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:52,550
Three years ago,

910
00:36:52,550 --> 00:36:54,150
Yesha killed those officials

911
00:36:54,150 --> 00:36:54,960
by exploiting

912
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,290
their personal habits.

913
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,070
Your Majesty,

914
00:36:57,070 --> 00:36:57,880
Mr. Shen didn't

915
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,000
poison himself intentionally.

916
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,450
Yesha exploited

917
00:37:00,470 --> 00:37:02,190
a habit of his that few would notice.

918
00:37:02,190 --> 00:37:02,920
What habit?

919
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:03,670
Three years ago,

920
00:37:03,670 --> 00:37:04,960
when I was protecting Mr. Shen,

921
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,000
I secretly observed him

922
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,330
from outside his study.

923
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,860
Mr. Shen had a small habit.

924
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:09,590
I investigated

925
00:37:09,590 --> 00:37:10,920
Mr. Shen's lecture hall

926
00:37:11,070 --> 00:37:12,610
and discovered that when reading,

927
00:37:12,610 --> 00:37:13,960
he had this particular habit.

928
00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:14,080
[Rites of Zhou]

929
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,070
Mr. Shen loved books

930
00:37:27,070 --> 00:37:28,150
and always had one in hand.

931
00:37:28,150 --> 00:37:29,000
When reading,

932
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,150
he liked to wet his fingertip
with saliva to turn the pages.

933
00:37:31,150 --> 00:37:32,110
All Yesha needed to do

934
00:37:32,110 --> 00:37:33,400
was poison his books.

935
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:34,920
I verified this

936
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,150
with Mr. Shen's students.

937
00:37:36,150 --> 00:37:37,510
When reading, Mr. Shen indeed

938
00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:38,110
had the habit

939
00:37:38,110 --> 00:37:40,070
of wetting his fingertip
with saliva to turn the pages.

940
00:37:40,070 --> 00:37:41,200
If I'm not mistaken,

941
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,240
besides clothes in his luggage,

942
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,480
there must also have been books.

943
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,210
Poison was found

944
00:37:45,210 --> 00:37:46,480
on the books

945
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,590
Mr. Shen brought with him.

946
00:37:47,590 --> 00:37:48,920
The poison on the pastry

947
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,800
came from Mr. Shen's fingers

948
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,920
after he touched

949
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,060
the poisoned pages

950
00:37:52,070 --> 00:37:53,730
and then picked up the pastry.

951
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:55,900
So that's how it happened.

952
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,670
This fiend Yesha

953
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,400
is so cunning.

954
00:37:59,510 --> 00:38:00,800
Yesha is cunning,

955
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,070
but I still failed in my duty.

956
00:38:03,230 --> 00:38:04,070
Those books

957
00:38:04,070 --> 00:38:05,550
were brought by Mr. Shen himself.

958
00:38:05,550 --> 00:38:06,520
The guards at the safe house

959
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:07,440
thought they were just books,

960
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:08,760
so they didn't check them.

961
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:09,880
That gave Yesha

962
00:38:10,150 --> 00:38:11,680
the opportunity to strike.

963
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,510
It was my negligence.

964
00:38:13,590 --> 00:38:14,360
Enough.

965
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:15,590
Say no more.

966
00:38:16,030 --> 00:38:17,290
It's been three years,

967
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,690
and I've lost several beloved officials.

968
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,480
I left this case in your charge.

969
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:22,440
Three years passed,

970
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,370
and you've made no progress at all.

971
00:38:25,030 --> 00:38:27,630
Dismissing you both
and throwing you in prison

972
00:38:27,710 --> 00:38:28,760
would be lenient.

973
00:38:30,230 --> 00:38:31,630
It was my miscalculation

974
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,410
that cost Mr. Shen his life.

975
00:38:33,670 --> 00:38:34,960
My mistake dragged

976
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,020
the Secret Investigation Unit down.

977
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,280
Boss,

978
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:42,630
that father and son

979
00:38:42,630 --> 00:38:44,230
have always thought you're Yesha

980
00:38:44,230 --> 00:38:45,510
and hunted you everywhere.

981
00:38:45,510 --> 00:38:46,960
So let them suffer a bit.

982
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,150
The Secret Investigation Unit's goal

983
00:38:49,150 --> 00:38:50,400
is the same as ours.

984
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,710
They just mistake me for Yesha.

985
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:58,590
Father.

986
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,400
Yun.

987
00:39:07,230 --> 00:39:09,710
The time left for us

988
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,190
is running short.

989
00:39:14,710 --> 00:39:16,440
I'll give you one last chance

990
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,070
to redeem yourselves.

991
00:39:18,190 --> 00:39:19,280
But this time,

992
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,840
there must be a deadline.

993
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,150
Why are you looking at each other?

994
00:39:25,150 --> 00:39:26,190
Lost your tongue?

995
00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:27,510
Three months.

996
00:39:27,590 --> 00:39:28,710
Within three months…

997
00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:29,510
Three months?

998
00:39:29,510 --> 00:39:30,000
Three months

999
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,530
is enough for Yesha
to infiltrate the palace!

1000
00:39:33,190 --> 00:39:33,920
One month.

1001
00:39:34,030 --> 00:39:34,830
Your Majesty,

1002
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,630
within one month,

1003
00:39:35,630 --> 00:39:36,920
the Secret Investigation Unit will surely

1004
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:37,920
bring Yesha to justice.

1005
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:38,800
If we fail,

1006
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,440
I'm willing to pay with my life.

1007
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,070
One month,

1008
00:39:41,150 --> 00:39:42,190
not a day more!

1009
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,660
Is there any hope of finding Yesha

1010
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,800
by examining those books?

1011
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,000
Mr. Shen's books

1012
00:39:55,110 --> 00:39:56,670
were left on the desk
in the lecture hall.

1013
00:39:56,670 --> 00:39:58,600
Too many people could access them.

1014
00:39:58,800 --> 00:39:59,480
Besides, the lecture hall

1015
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:00,710
was wide open.

1016
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,480
Even if someone snuck in with poison,

1017
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,080
there'd be no way to trace it.

1018
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,510
So we have no clue at all.

1019
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:12,590
Father,

1020
00:40:13,070 --> 00:40:13,760
I want to look into

1021
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:14,550
the resume documents

1022
00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:17,030
of the four officials
from the Blood-Weeping Statues Case.

1023
00:40:17,030 --> 00:40:18,360
Why look into those?

1024
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,070
I always thought

1025
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:21,840
Yesha killed them three years ago

1026
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:22,920
just to create mystery and fear

1027
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,840
and cause panic in the court and beyond,

1028
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,350
which is why he chose the officials

1029
00:40:26,350 --> 00:40:28,000
with tombstone statues
in the Lang Hua Pavilion.

1030
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:28,590
But I never expected

1031
00:40:28,590 --> 00:40:29,800
that after all these years,

1032
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:30,920
Yesha would still

1033
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:31,920
go after Mr. Shen.

1034
00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:33,510
It makes me suspect

1035
00:40:34,110 --> 00:40:35,440
that Yesha had a compelling reason

1036
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,100
to kill those four officials.

1037
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,300
There must be a connection

1038
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,280
among them.

1039
00:40:40,550 --> 00:40:42,480
The resume documents
of all the Qi Kingdom's officials

1040
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,610
are kept in the Imperial Secretariat.

1041
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,400
With this token,

1042
00:40:47,630 --> 00:40:49,230
you can get access to it.

1043
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,190
[Chief Zhuge Tong]
