Episode 16

Yan Xing carefully inspected the body of the old man of the Chen family and noticed a strange smell, which was an antiseptic. He concluded that the old man had been dead for a long time.Later, she went to Shi Ceku to search for clues. Ji Fangming quietly left the scene on the way, leaving Yan Xing to go deep alone, vowing to uncover layers of fog.

Shen Du's thoughts drifted back to the past, and under his mother's stern eyes, he was forced to face a dilemma.Putting the family's reputation first and redressing the injustice, his mother forced him to write a confession in exchange for a glimmer of hope.Shen Du firmly refused, firmly believing that his father was innocent and vowing not to compromise.This scene was deeply imprinted in his heart and became the source of motivation for him to insist on justice and not be afraid of power.

At the same time, Yan Xing stayed up all night, immersed in the vast information of Shi Ceku, until the morning light came and he met Lu Chuichui.Lu Chuichui defended Shen Du, expressing his deep friendship with Shen Du for standing up and relentlessly pursuing the truth when Yan Xing was in danger.After hearing this, Yan Xing felt mixed emotions in his heart, and his misunderstanding of Shen Du gradually dissipated.

The world is turbulent, and rumors of a mysterious sect that has come back from the dead are spreading, but there is no way to verify it.Yan Xing came across his mother's superstitious kneeling and worshiping. She had no choice but to dissuade her, but she could not stop the worldly ignorance.A fire breaks out in Shi Ceku, and Yan Xing is in danger. Shen Du rushes into the sea of ​​​​fire at all costs, but fortunately Yan Xing escapes safely.Shen Du held the weak Yan Xing in his arms and gently told him to rest. The knot between the two gradually resolved. Yan Xing burst into tears of gratitude and expressed his sincere apology and gratitude to Shen Du.

Yan Xing found the same strange powder as in the Jinxiufang case on Shen Du's clothes and became suspicious.She hurriedly handed the powder to her master for identification, and learned that it was ground from rare plants in the Western Regions, so she decided to go to the ghost market to search for clues.Master warned Yan Xing that investigating cases requires both patience and care, and he should not be eager for quick success.

Yan Xing returned to Shi Ceku, and upon seeing this, Lu Chuichui quickly pulled her away. Although everyone had a complicated attitude toward Yan Xing, they were helpless.Yan Xing reflected that he had difficulty falling asleep in Shi Ceku, but was able to sleep peacefully in Shen Mansion, perhaps because of his dependence on the bright environment.Therefore, she specially prepared an eye-catching object for Shen Du to express her gratitude and care.Before parting, Shen Du gently persuaded her to stay, and the two had dinner together in a warm atmosphere.

On the other side, Chen Shoujie encountered an accident and was tied under the beam of the house, with blazing coals and his life hanging by a thread.Shen Du and Yan Xing came after hearing the news. Yan Xing was keenly aware that this was similar to what happened to Han Shiyuan and the third sister before, and they were filled with doubts.At this time, Ji Fanming appeared secretly and was captured on the spot.He claimed that he came to collect evidence for the water leakage incident, but accidentally bumped into Yan Xing and others.Another bad news came from the east of the city. Someone was burned to death, and the case became more complicated and confusing.

Shen Du and Yan Xing discussed Ji Fangming privately, and both felt that his behavior was abnormal and they were too concerned about the reactions of Yan Xing and others.Yan Xing even suspected that the water leakage incident was actually an act of destroying evidence, and Ji Fangming might be one of the masterminds behind the scenes.In order to find out the truth, Yan Xing took the initiative to find Ji Fangming and deliberately revealed false news that Chen Shoujie had confessed, trying to draw more clues.However, the case is so involved that Shangfeng has ordered the investigation to be stopped, and Chen Shoujie may face the fate of secret execution.Yan Xing knew that the road ahead was difficult, but he was even more determined to get to the bottom of it.

As expected, Ji Fangming sneaked into the prison and attempted to murder Chen Shoujie. Fortunately, Shen Du and others stopped him in time.Under interrogation, the truth gradually became clear: Ji Fanming once had a good relationship with Kong Xianrong, the original landlord of Jinxiufang. After he failed, Kong Xianrong recommended Chen Shoujie, and he was able to enter his official career.This murder was actually a dispute between grudges and grudges, and the hidden story behind it was complicated.
