Judge Dee’s Mystery Episode 26 Synopsis: Cao An was attacked

When Di Renjie and others arrived at Long San's shop, they saw the heart on the table and knew that it was the murderer who deliberately guided it.Due to a murder case in Lanfang, the people did not know anything to protect themselves, and everyone wanted to be alone. Di Renjie was very disappointed.

Early the next morning, Hong Liang, under Di Renjie's instruction, ordered people to post notices inviting craftsmen to the county government to help solve the case. Anyone who came would be rewarded.Sure enough, as soon as the notice came out, many craftsmen came here for the rewards, but their paper figurine craftsmanship was so ingenious that no one in the entire Lanfang could do it.

At this time, Di Renjie noticed that an old man had an unusual expression, so he left him alone for questioning. He learned that the paper man looked familiar, much like Xiao Chunyu, the daughter of Xiao's Dyeing House who had been missing for many years.On the other side, Cao An found Long San's file and saw that Long San testified in Xiao Chunyu's kidnapping case, so that the government could arrest Chu Lei and bring him to justice.

Ma Rong went around with earrings to inquire about the situation. He noticed a dyeing workshop and found that the paper figure next to it looked very familiar. When he went in and asked, he found out that the shopkeeper was Xiao Chunyu's grandfather.Shopkeeper Xiao was very excited when he saw the earrings, so he told Di Renjie and others about his daughter. In his opinion, Xiao Chunyu had been a clever person since she was a child, and her paper figurines were unparalleled. She originally wanted to start a business.Big, unexpectedly, she was kidnapped before the plan was implemented.

It turns out that Chu Lei and Xiao Chunyu were childhood sweethearts, but he was just an ordinary scholar who came from a poor family and was disliked by Shopkeeper Xiao.Later, Chu Lei decided to abandon his literary career and join the army, vowing to make a fool of himself and marry Xiao Chunyu, but he didn't know that shopkeeper Xiao had directly betrothed his daughter to someone else.On the day of the incident, Long San witnessed Chu Lei kidnapping Xiao Chunyu with the intention of doing something evil.

Di Renjie felt that there were many loopholes in Shopkeeper Xiao's words. Firstly, how could Long San see the other party's appearance clearly in the middle of the night? Secondly, Shopkeeper Xiao's room was next door, so why couldn't he hear the sound.With these doubts, Di Renjie and his party came to the mass grave to look for Chu Lei's body. After searching to no avail, they decided to go to the body collector Lin Fan.

On the other hand, when Cao An sent Qin to be repaired, he accidentally met the stonemason Lin Fan, and was entrusted by him to go back and explain to Di Renjie about Lin Fan's begging for flesh. It turned out that the stonemason Lin Fan was the Lin Fan related to Chu Lei.Di Renjie personally came to Lin Fan to deliver sausages, which made him feel uneasy. On the surface, he was obedient and timid. Until Di Renjie revealed his identity as a former border guard veteran, he finally calmed down.

Because both Lin Fan and Chu Lei were scholars and joined the army, they were always bullied by other soldiers in the military camp. They both thought about it many times, but lacked enough courage.Later, they had the desire to escape, but in the end they were captured and punished. Normally ordinary people would not survive seven days, but on the fifth day, heavy rain allowed them to survive.

Since then, Chu Lei's temperament has changed drastically. He will no longer show mercy to anyone and becomes ruthless. He even disregards human life when suppressing rebellion, and even refuses to spare innocent children.In Lin Fan's view, Chu Lei did have good intentions before joining the army, but unfortunately he became so thorough later that he was scared.

Di Renjie was silent for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly asked Lin Fan what he thought of Black Flame.Lin Fan said that Hei Yan was quite prestigious in Lanfang, and the local gangsters and bullies were all afraid of Hei Yan. He escaped from the military camp and thought about joining Hei Yan, but Di Renjie happened to come and defeated Hei Yan.When he said these words, the image of Chu Lei wearing a mask flashed in Lin Fan's mind. Seeing that he had something to hide, Di Renjie did not continue to ask questions and simply left first.

Ma Rong and Qiao Tai called the people in name and distributed sausages and bacon to them. Some people thought that the dead were unlucky and refused to take them.

On the other side, the piano master sent the repaired piano to Cao An. Cao An accidentally saw Lin Fan and followed him out of curiosity, only to be attacked by a surprise attack.
