Judge Dee’s Mystery Episode 29 Synopsis: Dee Ying appears and is killed by Di Renjie

In the dead of night, Di Renjie and Lin Fan went to see Hei Yan.During this period, Di Renjie shared Chu Lei's story with Lin Fan, telling a completely different version.In this version, Chu Lei has been acquainted with a group of sinners since he was young, and has a profound experience of the sinister nature of people's hearts. During their crazy killings, Chu Lei gradually sharpened his will and heart, and eventually went into extreme darkness.

In Di Renjie's narration, Chu Lei forced himself to face death in order to survive.After rounds of killings, all that was left in his heart was ridicule, ruthlessness, and overwhelming anger.Because the daily beatings and humiliations he suffered all came from the Black Flame he once longed for, and for the Black Flame, he chose to break with his father Dixon.

Sure enough, as soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, Lin Fan's expression changed drastically.Just as Di Renjie said, he projected his story onto Chu Lei, that cruel man who took human life seriously, but his true identity was Di Ying, Di Renjie's brother who had not returned home for many years.Di Ying replaced Lin Fan's identity to collect Chu Lei's body, making everyone think that he was Lin Fan, but stabbed herself to clear the suspicion, and staged a scene in front of Cao An of Black Flame teaching Lin Fan a lesson.

But Di Renjie never understood why Di Yingzang hid in Lanfang and refused to show up, and was only willing to come out to meet him today.Di Ying revealed what he had been planning, including the ideas he insisted on.Both sons of Dickson, the two brothers have very different personalities, one is righteous and the other is evil, standing on opposite sides of each other.

Di Ying said that without Di Renjie, he might live anonymously in Lanfang, because he likes Lanfang where the strong run rampant and the weak return.On the other hand, Di Renjie wanted to see the strong in Lanfang abide by the law, the weak living and working in peace and contentment, and the law maintaining order here.

It's a pity that everything Di Renjie said was a joke to Di Ying.Di Ying advocates violence and power, despises human nature and laws, and firmly believes that the law of the jungle is the truth in the world.Seeing his brother being so indifferent between right and wrong, Di Renjie felt a little chilled. He lamented that it was the right thing for him to kick him out of the house back then, but now he looks really pitiful.

These words completely angered Di Ying, and the two began to confront and fight fiercely, and they were indistinguishable.In the end, Di Renjie tried his best and pierced Di Ying's chest with his sword.Before she died, Di Ying joked to herself that the Di family was both his origin and his return.After that, Di Renjie couldn't sleep all night because of the death of his brother. Bits and pieces of the past kept popping up in his mind. He lost his last relative in the world and also lost the wooden sword that had accompanied him since childhood.

As the Double Ninth Festival approaches, Ma Rong invites Cao An to climb up and enjoy the scenery together.After checking the almanac, Hong Liang found that September was an auspicious day for weddings, so he asked Cao An to choose a day to set the wedding date.Cao An hesitated for a moment and suggested letting Di Renjie make the decision.Di Renjie chose the 20th at random, but it happened to be the darkest total solar eclipse.

The two originally planned to get married, but there was a rift due to Di Ying's incident.Hong Liang noticed that Di Renjie had a grudge in his heart, so he persuaded him not to escape.Before Hong Liang could finish speaking, Di Renjie turned around and left.When passing by Cao An's room, the Bingzhou tune coming from the room reminded Di Renjie of Di Ying, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

On the same day, Cao An came to Di Renjie and said that there was a Crescent Moon Spring in the south that could relieve his worries. He wanted to take advantage of the Double Ninth Festival to travel together to pray for their future life.Di Renjie readily agreed. After learning about it, Hong Liang told them not to go to temples and to be more careful on the road.

After watching Di Renjie and Cao An's carriage go away, Hong Liang and others returned home and found that Di Renjie had forgotten to bring the Rain Dragon Sword. Hong Liang guessed that he did it on purpose.After the carriage traveled for a while, Di Renjie chose to rest next to the woods, lit a fire and baked cakes for Cao An to eat.The two of them were silent throughout the whole process, and the atmosphere seemed particularly dull.
