Judge Dee’s Mystery Episode 15 Synopsis: Failure to love completely creates tragedy

After returning from the military camp, Di Renjie visited Zhong Ji Zhi's shop and found that shopkeeper Lin had transferred the shop and was packing his bags to leave Penglai.After identification by the clerk, Di Renjie confirmed that the writing on the dagger ticket stub was written by Zhong Fang.Previously, shopkeeper Lin and Zhong Fang had a fierce quarrel. Later, Zhong Fang went out and did not return until the news of his murder came back.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Lin was stroking the wooden sculpture as if possessed by a demon, murmuring to himself, it would have been great if Zhong Fang had not believed Yushi's story.Shopkeeper Lin was slightly surprised by Di Renjie's sudden appearance. He subconsciously covered the wood carving with a cloth and pretended to be busy sorting out the ledgers, but he could not hide the panic in his heart.

Di Renjie analyzed that shopkeeper Lin had murderous intentions because Zhong Fang was not interested in his career and a crazy woman destroyed their nearly 20 years of hard work.Although shopkeeper Lin once persuaded Zhong Fang, Zhong Fang was deeply attached to Huang Ying'er and even misappropriated the store's funds to support her. This persistence made shopkeeper Lin feel frustrated.

Shopkeeper Lin has been working hard with Zhong Fang until now, and has given his all for this. There is no lack of bitterness and suffering. Faced with all kinds of difficulties from the guests, he still has to smile and do his best.But who would have expected that all of this would be wiped out by Zhong Fang. Shopkeeper Lin complained bitterly about what Zhong Fang did, and painfully admitted that what he did was forced by the situation.

In the end, Shopkeeper Lin was taken to the execution ground.The people along the way threw rotten vegetable leaves at him, but he ignored them. He only saw Zhong Fang's back, as if he was seeing the person he respected and loved in the past.At the same time, Di Renjie cleared Wang Sanlang's suspicion. The reason why he admitted to killing Zhong Fang was because he liked Huang Ying'er and wanted to take the blame for her. However, Huang Ying'er was just a pawn in this murder case.

There is no Rain Master in the world, it is just a story derived from people's imagination, but some people are trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves.The Yushi case came to an end, and Di Renjie was a little confused.Ma Rong couldn't help complaining, thinking that the three men were cowards and did not dare to confess their love.Their unrequited love completely created this tragedy.

On the occasion of parting, Ma Ronglai said goodbye to Ba Zong, gave him the wooden dice carved by himself, and agreed to invite him to Lanfang for a drink one day.Di Renjie went to Mingyuefang to look for Cao An and expressed his feelings through the door, but no one responded in the house, making him disappointed.

The next morning, Di Renjie insisted on walking out of the city.Ma Rong was confused about this, but Qiao Tai and Hong Liang knew it well.Fortunately, Cao An has been waiting at the teahouse for a long time. She is dressed in black and carrying a pipa and luggage. She has obviously made a choice and is determined to go to Lanfang with Di Renjie.

After several days of marching, the group passed through the desert, which evoked the memories of Di Renjie, Ma Rong, and Qiao Tai.Back then, three “starving ghosts” met here.Di Renjie clearly remembers that the wind and sand almost buried him, and even worse, he ran into Ma Rong and Qiao Tai who came to rob him.Having not eaten for many days, they were already so hungry that their legs were weak and their mouths were dry. When they saw the kettle in Di Renjie's bag, they took the opportunity to get close to seize water and food, and gradually became Di Renjie's personal followers.

While they were talking, a sandstorm suddenly blew up in the desert and swept toward them quickly.Di Renjie led everyone to hide behind the rocks. Due to the confusion and rush, the briefcase accidentally fell on the desert and the closed case files were scattered everywhere.After the storm gradually subsided, when Di Renjie got up to pick up the files, he unexpectedly found a mahogany sword - the same wooden sword he had lost when he jumped into the river to save his father.Di Renjie has always worn the mahogany sword as a talisman. Now he picked up the wooden sword again in the desert, which indicates that the future of this trip is uncertain and the trip to Lanfang will be full of danger.
