[Honey, Don't Run Away]

[Bank of Gao]

Stop looking at it.

Dismemberment is nothing special.

This killer's addiction is really disgusting.

This jade ring does indeed belong to a royal.

It was bestowed by my imperial father to the Li Family.

Judging from the state of the corpse,

this must be Li Shuo.

What makes the killer despise him, that would make him do something so cruel?

Both victims have red dots on their Yi Feng acupoint.

This is not a coincidence.

The killer for both cases...

must be the same man.

Man?

Such ruthless killing method...

can't be done by a woman.

No.

I think the killer is a woman.

Please shut your mouth.

I have a sharp nose.

There's a faint smell...

of Hedychium coronarium rouge on both Li Shuo and Gao Yi Liang's bodies.

This is uncommon in normal rouge.

Furthermore, both cases...

have one additional similarity.

That is, the killer is the same woman.

That smell is still nearby.

This is the smell.

[Episode 3]

God, please bless me.

Please bless me for my safety.

Please bless me.

Sir.

My master has ordered...

not to see guest as our young master just passed away.

Please go back, sir.

Why do you perform exorcism for your young master?

Why isn't there a memorial tablet and no burning of hell money?

Sir, I don't know why either.

Sir, please go back.

Sir, this way please.

[Cosmetic Store]

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

Wait!

There's the smell of flora rouge on your body.

Your figure is enough to withstand a man.

You are the killer!

Are you crazy?

I'm pregnant!

You...

I heard there's a freak nearby the cosmetic store.

I purposely came here to capture that freak.

You don't believe me either?

Did you find anything after observing the whole morning?

Of course.

Only this cosmetic store in the whole Imperial City...

produces cosmetics using Hedychium coronarium.

And the quantity is limited.

Customers need to make advanced booking and collect in time.

Look here.

This is their customer list.

All are here.

Quite a number of customers?

Wouldn't it be hard?

That's why I've been waiting here.

You see, once a woman is accustomed to a certain cosmetic,

she will not change product easily.

The killer will appear sooner or later.

Your patience is the same as your stupidity.

I firmly believe I'm right.

I firmly believe you are an idiot.

[Mu's Residence]

We can only drink tea and discuss here?

Just bear with it.

Renovation is ongoing.

Why are you both...

still here?

He came to spy on his enemy.

He's checking to see if you have any progress.

As for me, I came to see you.

Miss Ye.

-I've told you... -Have a fruit.

-Miss Ye... -I'll get more fruit.

Both men died the same way as this painting.

It is not a coincidence for a murder case to be the same as a mural painting.

You mean, the killer used the same method as the drawing to kill?

In short, we must first investigate the origin of the mural painting.

How can we know?

Where is Xiao Tang?

Demigod Xu knows all the strange things in this city.

Right?

Ask him now.

He looks like he's going to die soon.

Mister, there's a mural painting in my house.

The painting is weird.

There are images showing decapitation, tongue ripping,

dismemberment and others.

It's like hell.

Is there tiger biting, tongue ripping,

boiling oil cauldron, iron pellets, hill of ice and other hell scenes?

Yes, it is scary.

There are strange ways to die.

Those are not ways to die.

Those are the afterlife punishment for criminals.

The said mural painting...

should be...

the good and evil hell scene painting from this book.

This painting shows the truth about the sins of an evil-doer.

Take a look.

If this is painted in house...

Is it supposed to subdue the house?

Exactly the opposite.

Imagine this.

Who would put ominous thing at their own house?

Ominous?

Normally, murals are painted in the house...

to protect the family and fortune.

Painting good and evil hell scene in the house...

This is really a sinister move.

Mister, can you sell me this book?

Just take it if you like it.

Thank you, mister.

That mural painting is this good and evil hell scene painting.

Did the killer really kill people based on the punishments...

painted on the wall?

According to the old man,

this is afterlife punishment for criminals.

But it was applied on a living person.

This is not right.

The painting is not only about decapitation and dismemberment.

Sir, there's another victim.

Let's go.

Don't look.

Let go.

I see a dead body every three days.

There's nothing I can't face.

What do you think?

Let her be.

I...

I have things to do.

The deceased, Zhang San, is the owner of this smithy.

The killer poured molten iron into his throat.

He's burnt to death.

Iron pellets of hell indeed.

Seems like we're too late.

What's wrong with him?

He is yesterday's night watchman.

He found the victim first.

It is not me.

It is not me.

It is not me.

It is not me.

I know.

What happened yesterday?

Say it slowly.

[Who's there?]

[I screamed.]

[The man pushed the cart and hurriedly ran to Huaying Lane.]

[He's petite.]

There's a strong stench as well.

There's no stench here as well.

There's only one place that can hide the stench.

Isn't this the back door of Spruce Restaurant?

Spruce Restaurant is skilled in cooking crab.

They need to buy fresh crabs every day.

The weather is hot now.

The stench is inevitable.

Yes, that chef is petite as well.

But he's dumb and deaf.

How can he be the killer?

Let's go have a look.

Xiao Si.

Where is the dumb chef?

Shan Yue?

He's there.

Do you know where he went yesterday?

Yes. There's a full moon party for Zhao's son last night.

They booked our crab meat banquet.

Shan Yue went there to cook and just came back this morning.

You guys have been together?

Yeah, Shan Yue is dumb and deaf.

He has difficulty communicating with people.

I follow him every time we are out.

Why are you looking for him?

It's nothing. Go do your work.

It's dark at night.

It's possible for the night watchman to see wrongly.

Maybe we are wrong.

And we don't have evidence.

Shan Yue seems pretty honest.

He doesn't look like a killer.

Pretty boy.

Your taste is quite chic.

-Morning, Jin Yan. -What are you doing?

Of course renovation is needed to change the Feng Shui.

Don't worry. Based on my aesthetic sense,

I will definitely change it into a sophisticated and elegant mansion.

I'm too careless.

I think it is quite beautiful.

Way better than the old spooky haunted house.

What haunted house?

This house once belonged to my uncle, Lord Xian.

Lord Xian's family disappeared without a trace 16 years ago.

Thus, it fell into your hands.

The whole family disappeared overnight...

and you say this house is not haunted?

Lord Xian, Ling Feng, is a just and honest man.

How can there be ghost and strange things at his house?

That pretty boy's face changed upon hearing Lord Xian's name.

Unstable emotion like a woman.

The case is complex and clues are fragmented.

It is normal for him to feel bad.

You keep call him pretty boy.

Have you looked in the mirror?

You look like a monkey. Even monkeys are whiter than you.

Brother Jin Yan, don't bother that Black Monkey.

We don't need to...

Why? You didn't find any clue?

Why just stand there?

Back to the sun, Qianyang position at main place.

This is an extremely bad sign.

Why did Lord Xian want to curse himself with this wall?

Give me your dagger.

Give me your dagger.

Wait.

Put it down.

Royal jade plate?

This is one of Lord Xian's personal possession.

Lord Xian disappeared for 16 years.

How did he die inside his mural painting?

Seems like there is only one way to make...

all 45 family members disappeared.

Sir, what are you doing?

It's impossible for me to retire.

I'm going to die anyway.

Well, at least...

I can paint my own coffin.

Sir.

Are you worried about Lord Xian's case?

Jin Yan.

Are you the reincarnation of the King of Hell?

Since you're here in the city,

you've discovered one body every day.

And today, you found 45 bodies.

All family members and occupants of Lord Xian's Residence.

You purposely came to this city to bring me trouble?

Sir, I came here because of this case.

Lord Xian's case shocked the government.

The Emperor is furious.

He ordered me to investigate the case thoroughly.

If I fail,

I need to kill myself to ask for forgiveness.

Sir.

It's too early to prepare your coffin.

You know who is the killer?

Though these cases are complex,

it is connected.

I'm afraid Lord Xian's case...

is why the other cases resurfaced after 16 years.

What is your question today?

Li Zhi Chuan, Minister Li.

Excuse me.

We found the information you seek.

As you speculate,

Li Zhi Chuan indeed knew the bank owner...

and Zhang San, the blacksmith.

It's just that nobody took notice because of their different identities.

Gao Yi Liang and Zhang San used to work for him.

They were his right-hand men.

Not long after Lord Xian's disappearance,

he was anxious and then dismissed his men.

Even his two capable men for many years were not spared.

Give me.

This is the name list of soldiers who worked for him.

All their birthdays are recorded.

Gao Yi Liang is smart.

He did business with the severance pay.

He made many sales.

At last, he opened a bank.

Zhang San wasn't that lucky.

He drank, ate, found prostitutes and gambled.

At last, he spent all his money and became a blacksmith again.

Brother Jin Yan.

Lord Xian's case is more important now, isn't it?

Why go back to the beginning...

and investigate the background of these three victims?

You suspect Li Zhi Chuan is the killer?

Just drink tea and keep quiet.

The only way to look gentle is to not disturb others.

Listen, let me explain to you.

If Li Zhi Chuan had wanted to kill them,

why didn't he do so 16 years ago?

Mu Jin Yan, are you suspecting...

Li Zhi Chuan is related to Lord Xian's murder case?

I went to Minister Li's residence after Gao Yi Liang's death.

I wanted to investigate Li Shuo's clues,

but Li Zhi Chuan refused to accept guests.

He was performing rituals in his house.

It is normal.

Li Zhi Chuan is known to be fascinated by strange things.

Not to mention it's his son who died.

What if his ritual is not for his son?

I got a glimpse from the outside that day.

He looked panic and he was kneeling.

[His son died at a young age.]

[He didn't perform any religious ceremony nor build a memorial tablet.]

[Instead he invited a warlock to perform exorcism.]

[Furthermore, that warlock...]

[kept mumbling.]

I found out the rhetoric from the warlock's mouth...

is the same as causal record.

It complements good and evil hell scene painting.

The purpose is to make the deceased...

restless.

He's feeling guilty.

Let's say Lord Xian's case was not done by Li Zhi Chuan,

but it is related to him for sure.

He's feeling scared.

His son is dead.

Gao Yi Liang and Zhang San are dead.

He's worried he is next.

Where is the evidence?

Even if all our reasonings are legitimate,

we only have dead bodies.

We don't even know what tools were used.

Dagger to cut Li Shuo's neck.

Knife to chop Gao Yi Liang.

What was used to open Zhang San's mouth?

All these weapons are elaborate but uncommon.

Why go through such trouble to change weapon frequently?

The more weapons used, the harder to find a pattern.

You have to eat although you're feeling worried.

Try this crab meat noodle.

Have a taste.

This is truly amazing.

Noodle is fused with crab meat.

It must be troublesome to peel the crab meat.

Of course.

But this is our speciality.

Please enjoy.

It's really you.

It's not just a delicate dagger.

We racked our brains but still can't figure out the strange weapon used.

Turns out it is Spruce Restaurant's speciality.

The eight crab eating tools.

[The red dot behind the three victims...]

[are caused by an iron scrapper, one of the eight crab eating tools.]

[Whereas Li Shuo's decapitation...]

[A blunt knife was used and it was torn bit by bit with a thin knife.]

[You want to imitate decapitation hell from the good and evil hell painting.]

[As for Gao Yi Liang,]

[he went to dismemberment hell...]

[and was cut into pieces while he was alive.]

[This is the mental artist we seek.]

[Free painting.]

[As for Zhang San,]

[you opened his mouth with pincers...]

[and poured molten iron into his throat.]

[He was burnt from the lips.]

[Then the tongue and throat.]

[And flowed down the body.]

[This is to complete the retribution of iron pellets hell.]

There's a shell-liked scar on Zhang San's mouth.

It is caused by a long handle hatchet that is used to open his mouth.

As for Minister Li,

you have prepared gold scissors and gold tweezers to pull out his tongue.

Hammer, plate, hatchet, spade, spoon, fork, scrapper and scissors.

You really make use of the eight crab eating tools!

You are doomed, yet you're still able to laugh?

Where's your evidence?

You are not dumb?

Evidence?

You are caught in the act, what evidence do you need?

You are left-handed, right?

How did you know?

You use left hand when serving dishes.

The wound on Li Shuo and Gao Yi Liang...

are both heavier on the left.

On the night Zhang San died,

although Xiao Si proved that you're cooking at Zhao's residence,

he drank the host's wine secretly until he's drunk.

He's worried that he would get scolded by Mei Niang.

Thus he asked you to keep it a secret.

And this gave you chance to kill Zhang San.

What else do you want to say?

Say it.

You think you are really dumb after pretending to be dumb and deaf?

Shan Yue.

You did it because of Lord Xian?

Yes.

I was abandoned since young.

It was Lord Xian who took care of me.

He gave me food...

and place to stay.

[Years ago, House of Xie was said to commit treason.]

[Lord Xian who refused to believe it...]

[found evidence of Li Zhi Chuan framing the Xie Family.]

[But word got out.]

[Li Zhi Chuan killed Lord Xian and his family...]

[to keep the secret.]

[But he is superstitious.]

[To hide his crime and reduce his worries that Lord Xian would haunt him,]

[he buried all of them inside walls...]

[and curse them with the good and evil hell scene.]

[Lord Xian's residence turned into living hell.]

[I'm the only one who survived from all the dead bodies.]

I...

I live until today just to seek revenge!

There is no place for Lord Xian to get justice.

This Li Zhi Chuan is really vicious!

There's something to be found if bodies are found.

But disappearance is worse than death.

You're hopeful but you keep getting disappointed.

Repeated disappointments lead to not having any expectation.

No matter on Earth or Hell...

none of them can run away!

Shan Yue, evil will has its retribution.

Stop the killing!

16 years have passed.

Heaven is injustice, human is evil.

I can no longer find evidence to bring Li Zhi Chuan to justice.

Heaven is injustice.

Alright, I will leave first.

I'll ask for an explanation from the King of Hell.
