Open the gate! (in a foreign tongue)

Pale complexion.

The back of the hand has a dark purple coloring.

The ribcage is weak and fragile.

The stomach is bloated

I know your cause of death now.

What was the cause of the death of this person?

You better tell the truth,

otherwise...the consequences will be unthinkable.

You put so much effort to kidnap me and take me to this derelict building.

To get me to do an autopsy on this body.

According to the rules we should discuss the pay first.

and tell these barbarians the cause of death.

Or you will use that master of mine who has the head of a buck eyes of a rat

with a sharp mouth monkey cheeks head of an eagle but brain of a sparrow with abhorrent, sly, repulsive appearance

to threaten me with.

Good disciple, I know you are filial,

knew you would come here to save your Master despite the risks

From the looks of them, you lost a lot of money.

Not much...just one...

500 coins.

Just help me one more time.

It's the final time!

You always use this, don't you find it boring? Can you use a different method next time?!

-Let go. -No.

-Let go. -I refuse.

I told you to let go!

Cause of death.

I'll tell you the cause of death of this body,

And that's he payment for the gambling debt he owes you.

On this body you can see purple blood clots everywhere.

The ribcage was weak and fragile

because his ribs were broken.

His stomach was bloated because of the accumulation of blood there.

And this can prove that he died due to the failure of all his organs.

Failure of all his organs?!

It seems that the person who killed my younger brother is a highly skilled artist.

Guards!

Didn't we agree that if I tell you his cause of death that will be payment for my Master’s gambling debt.

never agreed to that.

It was you who assumed that.

Do it!

I heard you are the Eldest Miss of the Ran family at the Suzhou city.

But my Father is my father and I am me.

am not favored by him, he does not like me,

so he will never pay for my life!

No money?

Then there is only death

-Save me girl! -Fine! I will pay for it!

Master.

Just give them the savings you have.

Hurry and go!

Chase them! Don't let her get away!

Chase them!

-Disguise! -Good.

Capture them

Capture her!

Capture her!

Hurry up!

Capture her!

I can't run anymore.

Master, hurry up! Hurry up!

-Capture them! -Move it!

Capture her!

Don't run!

Oh no! Oh no!

Where else can you escape to now?

Now...we can only jump into the water.

But I am not good in water.

Let's jump in 3,2, 1.

jdwnp

We're really jumping in!

Don't come here!

Who are you?

Where is the pearl of the Marquis of Sui?

It was you who killed my younger brother?

You want to snatch the Marquis of Sui's...

I-I'll tell you.

In Liu Can's hands...

Where are you meeting up?

At 7pm.

At the Qing Li brothel.

According to the Annals of Xuan Ming,

when the Emperor Yang of Sui was alive, he left a treasure worth as much as the treasury of a country.

It's secrets hidden within the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui.

Your Majesty.

The appearance of the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui doubt cause a storm.

All the different powers will become restless and cause trouble especially the supporters of the Sui dynasty.

They will definitely use this chance to try and take the treasure

to rise in power again.

The several hundred Qian Nui guards that I sent never came back.

We only heard that the pearl was in the hands of one person.

His name is called Liu Can.

As expected of the sorrow of the Changan ghosts.

The pearl of the Marquis of Sui is now in the hands of this incense merchant named Liu Can.

He is hurrying his way to Suzhou now

to make a trade with someone.

Deputy Xiao.

his dagger was gifted to me during my coming of age ceremony

by the late Emperor.

Now I gift it to you.

This minister does not dare to accept it.

This dagger is not only a reward for me,

it is also the trust I bestow on you.

I hope this trust,

can last for a long time between you and I, the Emperor and his minister.

In this life, I..

will never disappoint the trust you have in me.

He killed all of them?

This person is so cruel.

[Ran Yan]

My Lord, the merchant Liu Can has entered Suzhou city with the Persian incense merchants.

Their contact hasn't appeared yet.

How did I get back?

Did Master save me?

He managed to escape?

Even if you were forced into the marriage, Miss you do not need to jump into the river to commit suicide?

Wan Lv, it's as if you suddenly came back from the dead,

scared me to death.

It's an urgent situation.

Your stepmother and younger sister is forcing you to marry the Shu son of the Su family again!

Same technique as always,

delay it.

We cannot delay it anymore.

The Su family's bridal escort* will be here in a few days.

What are you waiting for, let’s escape!

Miss, the technique they are employing this time is catching a turtle in a jar.

Someone is guarding both the front and back doors.

It seems like you will not be able to escape this time.

My condolences.

What is your.Miss, I the most skilled at?

Collecting bodies?

Overturning an impossible situation.

Miss, are you alright?

Why do I get the feeling from your face that something bad is going to happen?

Something bad will happen.

Where does the backyard link to?

The Master's food warehouse.

Miss! Youa re not wearing any shoes!

My Lord, the target Liu Can is in Fu Yuan street now.

food warehouse exploded 3 years ago?

You meant that time when Master was busy arranging the food at night

and the flour...

mysteriously encountered a spark and then exploded.

You wait here.

Miss have you considered carefully?

Miss where are you going?

Miss!

Mistress, the Eldest Miss has run off!

Hurry and capture her for me!

Let’s continue the drink.

My Lord, Fei Yang has not appeared.

I fear...we have lost the target.

I am sorry, I am sorry.

The city gate

The Pan gate

Fu Yuan street.

Liu Can is making his way north.

he will definitely carry out the trade in a place that is chaotic and poorly managed.

then that place...

must be...

This is a place where men visit.

I'm looking for my Father!

What father?

If I hide here, they will not be able to find me.

I've never heard of a daughter finding her Father here?

-You report it to the Mistress we'll find her. -Yes.

She's upstairs

You're dismissed!

Apologies.

She is dressed so simply,

it seems she is not a prostitute here.

His lips are pale, and his eyes are bloodshot.

and this pool is filled with medicinal water, including Bupleurum chinense (Chinese herb)

it seems like he suffers from migraines.

You're a wandering physician?

This medicinal bath is no use for you.

next time you suffer from a migraine,

you can press the acupoints that I just pressed about 50 times each

it can ease your symptoms.

Can you let me go now?

Why would I let you go?

My Lord, that woman just now...

It was my mistake, I will capture her right away!

No need, our plan is more important.

Keep your eyes on Liu Can.

Yes.

A crafty fox.

Hurry and come in.

She is inside.

I will tie you up.

Miss.

Are you here to play or be played with?

What nonsense are you on about!

I am here to find a girl!

Greetings.

You mistook me for someone else.

Scram!

The person who placed the order said it was here!

I had to walk far to get here!

Even if I am mistaken surely you do not need to speak so offensively?

A-A gentleman does not argue with others nor will they walk with villains!

Do not look or listen to inappropriate things.

Do not look or listen to inappropriate things.

There are ministers here, be careful what you do.

Watch where you are going.

Take it.

Why is he here too?

Guests, welcome to Qing Li brothel.

We are truly honored.

To thank all of you for your visit, I, the Madam of the brothel specially prepared

a new masked dance that our most popular dancers have learnt.

What's going on?

Surely he is not dead?

Hurry and go!

Dead?

He's dead! He's really dead!

Hurry and go!

Someone was murdered! Go!

Hurry and go!

There's a murder! There's a murder!

Hurry and chease him!

Hurry and run!

Close the door! I am Xiao Song the Deputy Head of the Department of Justice!

Without my order, no-one can leave!

We could not find the Marquis of Sui's pearl Liu Can's body.

The person who killed him probably took it.

I have asked all the other dancers in the brothel, no-one knows who the dancer in the pagoda was.

But from my investigation,

the scholar who argued with Liu Can just now

his name was Sang Chen.

He is a teacher who also makes inkwells.

I've told my men to bring him in for questioning.

My Lord.

The dead was strangled

from the injury, he seems to have been strangled by a kind of necklace/neck ornament.

I am sorry.

You...who are you?

What is your name?

Ah Moli.

am the manager of the Binpin cloth store.

This is my butler Dalasa.

We are both Persian.

Persians?

Come, follow me.

What is your name?

Ran Yan!

I got you! Where can you go this time?

I'm talking to you, do you hear me?

Come home with me!

You sit in this carriage.

Let me warn you, do not dare to escape again!

His Lordship has orders, no-one can leave!

Yes!

My Lord, we have searched the rooms of the musicians and dancers in the back.

there’s no-one.

Surely you do not wish to see the Ran residence be massacred by me right?

How do you know my identity?

What about the carriage?

The Ministry of Justice has a case everyone in the carriage get down!

I am Xiao Song.

I did not expect every time I see Miss

you always have a change in appearance.

I am sorry.

I am quite relieved to see that you are wearing clothes this time Lord Xiao.

Miss, I remembered you were a travelling physician,

but now it seems,

you look like a dancer.

And I remember that Lord Xiao you... were a frequenter of prostitutes!

Shut up! You attacked a government minister,

I did not punish you!

I am so afraid.

Lord Xiao, what if he frightens me?

You truly are silver tongued and skilled in deceivement with your words.

Thank you Your Lordship for your praise.

-Bai Yi. -Here.

Check the carriage.

Yes!

Lord Xiao! That man was not strangled to death!

Everyone saw that Liu Can was strangled.

Those who are strangled normally will drool.

And there will be traces of it at the back of his neck,

dripping down like a column.

But his mouth was firmly closed.

Any person who is strangled will naturally fight back.

But the hands of the dead were slack.

it's as if he did not have a chance to resist before death.

that goes against the norm.

When the dancer strangled him, I was at the scene,

he did not move at all.

-Move! -Lord Xiao!

You know that Lord?

Hury and tell me where he lives, his age,

and if he is married?

How would I know? I do not wish to know him.

You don't know him?

It’s good you don’t know him.

He is mine now!

Don’t you dare set your sights on him!

It's a shame he escaped.

Only found a box.

My Lord, are you alright?

He escaped.

It was swapped out before we ambushed him.

Impossible.

We had our eyes on Liu Can all this time.

Unless...it was the dancer who killed Liu Can?

We must find that killer.

My Lord!

When can we go home?

My Lord, we have been at this for the entire night,

when can the girls go to sleep?

Give me a room.

You need to rest up? Do you want a girl to accompany you?

I do.

Which girl do you like then?

Her!

An incense merchant, 45 years of age.

Yesterday beside your carriage

your explanation of his death,

piqued my curiousity.

As a traveling physician,

you are not interested in the living but so interested in the dead.

It proves you are not an ordinary person.

How am I not ordinary?

Yesterday night someone was hiding in your carriage,

but that person did not leave the carriage and accepted an inspection.

Which means...

could that person be related to yesterday's murder?

What are you talking about? I don't understand.

Fine! Today I will not inquire about that today.

You help me examine the body will not make things hard for you.

First I need tools to do the examination

secondly, I will leave after I examine it.

Third, 100 coins for the examination.

If you need money you should show me your capability.

Then this lowly civilian... will have to show her capability in front of you.

Go ahead.

Ran Yan.

18 years of age.

The Di (legitimate) daughter of the Yan family.

Yet lives alone in the ancillary building.

She is skilled in medicine but is unwilling to be a physician.

4s the legitimate daughter of the Ran family,

but would rather make a living examining bodies.

I found the cause of death!

He has a metal needle inserted in the Baihui acupoint at the top of his head!
