In the end, I ended up unemployed. Who is responsible for this case, the Emperor has not yet decided. Otherwise, you wouldn’t see me here either. Of course. It’s just that this time I’m afraid it will be like last time, coming here in vain. Could it be that you think you’ll always succeed? That’s not a difficult thing either. Clothes. Emperor. The criminal Ye Sha openly killed Daqi officials, the people’s anger is unstoppable and they are filled with anxiety. His intentions are extremely evil. The Secret Investigation Battalion is willing to arrest Ye Sha [Secret Investigation Battalion Leader, Zhuge Tong] The Secret Investigation Battalion is willing to arrest Ye Sha to alleviate the Emperor’s worries. [Secret Investigation Battalion Leader, Zhuge Tong] Emperor. [Secret Investigation Battalion Leader, Zhuge Tong] The Divine Capture Battalion handles all criminal matters in the capital. This case should be handed over to
[Secret Investigation Battalion Leader Zhong Yunchi] This case should be handed over to the Divine Capture Battalion. [Head of the Sacred Capture Battalion Zhong Yunchi] The security of important government officials [Head of the Sacred Capture Battalion Zhong Yunchi]
The security of important government officials has always been the responsibility of the Secret Investigation Battalion. This case should be handed over to the Secret Investigation Battalion. Enough, enough. You two should stop arguing. The top priority now is to solve this case immediately. I even have a suggestion. The Secret Investigation Battalion and the Sacred Capture Battalion should work together on this case. What do you think? Emperor, I feel this is not suitable. Investigating a case that involves too many people will easily alert them. The Secret Investigation Battalion is willing to handle this case alone. It only takes one month, and we can definitely solve this case. If this murderer like Ye Sha continues to act, I don’t even know how many of my loyal ministers will be left in a month. Ten days. Emperor. I only need ten days. Alright. Then… Three days. Emperor. I only need three days to solve this case. Xiao Beiming. This is the palace hall! How dare you speak arrogantly and deceive the Emperor. Xiao Beiming. I’ve heard of you. Recently, you’ve been solving mysterious cases repeatedly. You’re a rare talent in Daqi. However, isn’t this three-day deadline a bit too rash? It’s not me who’s being rash. However, three days later, I have a wedding planned. So, this matter can’t be delayed too long. Therefore, I only need three days to investigate this case. Beiming… Okay! Three days, three days. Three days later, if there’s no progress on this case, I definitely won’t spare you! This servant, I accept the order. No. Junior Brother. Okay, okay. I’m in the wrong. I’ll take you to investigate. Hurry and wipe your tears. Which arresting officer cries while handling a case? You’ve fallen into my trap. You promised me. A promise is a promise, it can’t be broken. Zhong Xueman. You’re doing it again… Where are the tears? They’ve been cleaned up. If they’ve been cleaned up, how can we investigate? Every crime has a motive. There’s definitely something wrong with this matter. Do you believe in ghosts and gods? My father once said that stories about ghosts and monsters are unbelievable. All the strangeness in this world actually originates from the human heart. It’s true. Every crime has a motive. Do you know the meaning of the word Ye Sha? According to folk legend, if someone dies with a grudge, their spirit will be hard to disperse and will not enter the cycle of reincarnation. They will manifest as a vengeful ghost that wanders the human world. Meanwhile, those whose grudges are as deep as the ocean and whose hatred is as high as the heavens will manifest as ghosts called Ye Sha. It is said that Ye Sha comes to claim lives and kill without a form. Senior Brother. Although your ability to solve cases is superior to mine, I still read more storybooks than you. Besides, after Ye Sha killed several ministers, he didn’t take any property. So, his motive isn’t robbery, but revenge. Right? Not entirely true. I think everything Ye Sha is doing right now is to spread rumors. If it were just revenge, there would be no need to do anything to this stele statue. He wants everyone to believe the rumors that Ye Sha has arrived and Daqi will fall. This person has very big ambitions. He’s afraid it’s not just a simple matter of avenging a few lives. However, he’s already caused such a commotion, isn’t he afraid his plan will fail and fall into the law’s clutches? Ye Sha is overconfident in his intelligence. He thinks he’s calculated everything, but he forgot to consider one thing. What is it? Me. Is it you or Ye Sha who’s too arrogant? Don’t worry. I can definitely defeat him. Let’s go. Where are we going? It’s already so dark. We should definitely go home. However, we haven’t found anything yet. Even if we haven’t found anything, we should still rest. Early tomorrow morning, we’ll go to Yuanyang Hall. Why go to Yuanyang Hall? Is there a case at Yuanyang Hall too? Of course, it’s to buy someone’s favorite freshly baked Taohua cake . Stand up and say thank you, Emperor. Master. Official Zhong, you also stand up. Master. This servant will begin by telling the story of the blood-stained stone tablet. Although the Emperor ordered someone to wipe away the blood-stained stone tablet, I can still discern clues from the traces left behind after the incident. In fact, the so-called blood-stained stone tablet is just a special kind of wax. [Phonics Candle] is just a special kind of wax. It’s just a special kind of wax. There’s a type of wax called Moluo wax, a type of sacrificial ceremonial item often used in foreign temples, and it’s extremely rare in the Central Plains. This wax is colorless at room temperature, but when the temperature rises, it immediately melts and turns into a blood-red liquid wax, also called phonics wax. It means phonics bathed in fire. Before the sacrificial ceremony, someone smears phonics wax on the eyes of the stele statue. Once the stele statue sheds tears of blood, they will kill the meritorious minister on the stele statue, creating the illusion of divine punishment. The Langhua Pavilion is heavily guarded. So how did the criminal sneak in and apply the wax? He didn’t need to sneak in. He just had to bribe the eunuch guarding the Langhua Pavilion. He shouldn’t have expected this matter to escalate to this extent. By the time this servant found him, he had already committed suicide, fearing punishment or death from Ye Sha. If that’s the case, how can the three ministers who assisted me mysteriously die ? Let me start with Lord Lu. I found traces of string tied to trees on both sides of the road at the location where Lord Lu was killed. I suspect that while riding his horse at high speed , he ran into the string that the perpetrator had previously set, causing his neck to be severed. This string is very special, called blood-soluble string. It was made by a sect that specializes in using secret weapons in the martial arts world. This string is very strong and flexible, but it immediately melts when it comes into contact with blood. In the forest, it would only be considered a spider’s web, not arousing suspicion. Then, what about Lord Qin and Lord Fan? Lord Qin’s body burned for no reason because someone had previously smeared a special kind of fuel on his clothes. One of the ingredients was niter. Lord Qin suffered from an eye disease. When writing reports, he was always very close to candles. His clothes caught fire from the flames. With the help of the special fuel, he was instantly reduced to ashes. The taste of niter is bitter and salty. [Ye Sha] The taste of niter is bitter and salty, and it is immediately recognizable. [Ye Sha] was instantly recognizable upon tasting. Mr. Fan had a sore on his face, the pain unbearable. Every day he had to wash his face with water containing medicine. The medicine pouch was not poisonous. However, there was one type of medicine whose dosage was incorrect. It was called upas puan. Normally, one pill would be enough. But in the medicine pouch that day, there were five pills. The excess upas puan entered his body through the sore on his face, making Mr. Fan’s entire body numb, unable to get up, until he drowned alive in the facewash basin. And the word Ye Sha on the mirror [Ye Sha] And the word Ye Sha on the mirror [Ye Sha]
had been written with acid beforehand [Ye Sha] had been written with acid beforehand and because it was exposed to hot steam, it just appeared on its own. So that’s how it is. So, have you investigated this person’s identity? Even if Ye Sha ruined my trap, I will be able to reveal his identity soon. Since he ruined your trap, why are you so confident that you will find out his identity? Because I deliberately let him ruin this trap. This is serious. Something’s wrong! Dad… Dad! Catch him! Kill him! Use a drug to drain all my inner strength. That way, it will prevent me from escaping and make the interrogation easier. Don’t talk too much. You keep claiming your innocence. Why? Afraid I’ll poison you to death? If you wanted to kill me, why bother? I chose to appear today, so I never thought about running away. Don’t use such excuses. If you were truly framed, why did you hide and refuse to show yourself for three years? Just as the stitching murder case resurfaced in the capital, you immediately appeared at the scene. Because he had also been missing for three years. If it weren’t for the stitching murder case resurfacing in the capital, perhaps I would have continued to hide in the shadows. Just as you investigated me, I will continue to investigate him. I will continue to investigate until I catch him. Today, I dared to appear at the scene, meaning I was betting my life. What was the bet? Betting on someone. Even though all of Daqi believes that I am Ye Sha, there is still someone who will definitely leave me with the last shred of doubt. Because no one knows me better than him. Today, I dared to meet him to bet on that shred of doubt. If he truly views me as the enemy who killed his father, when we meet today, his Justice Measuring Sword should have stabbed me in the heart, not my shoulder. I don’t expect you to forgive me completely. However, I hope you can still hold on to this shred of doubt. Let me stay by your side and investigate this case with you. I promise you, I will not let him go unpunished again. I will personally bring to light the truth about the drowning in Fengbo Lake three years ago for you. That’s a stitched-up corpse. Junior Apprentice. Long time no see. Xiao Beiming, you finally appeared. I wasn’t the one who killed Master. The clue you received was given to you by me. I knew you would definitely investigate it all the way to the end. For these three years, I have been searching for clues about Ye Sha. Junior Apprentice. If you’re willing to believe me, I’ll prove it to you myself. The incident on the boat at Fengbo Lake three years ago wasn’t my doing at all. Why should I believe you? Don’t move. If you move again, I’ll kill you right now. I’ll show you the proof. You’ve also discovered that these needle holes come from three crime scenes. The victims were three brides. However, they weren’t burned, but rather their bodies were sewn together. These needle holes are exactly the same as those found on the boat at Fengbo Lake three years ago. This means Ye Sha has reappeared. The stitched murder case surfaced, and so did you. Doesn’t this prove that you’re Ye Sha? It’s a stitched corpse. Junior Apprentice. Long time no see. Xiao Beiming, you’ve finally appeared. I wasn’t the one who killed Master. The clue you received was given to you by me. I knew you would definitely investigate it all the way to the end. For these three years, I’ve been searching for clues about Ye Sha. Junior Apprentice. If you’re willing to believe me, I’ll prove it to you myself. The incident on the boat at Fengbo Lake, three years ago, was absolutely not my doing. Hurry up and go. Come on. Is there anyone? Someone come here! Please… Is there anyone? Hurry up and go. Fire! Hurry up and get some water! Get a big bucket! Hurry up and get some water! Hurry up and get some water. I’m coming. Hurry up and get some water, hurry up and get some water. Fire! Junior Brother. Call some more people. Leader. I’ve already said this much, why don’t you understand? Even if I tell you to investigate this case, can you solve it? If you can’t solve it by the time it’s known throughout the city and the Emperor is held accountable, what will the Great Detention Battalion do? This time is different. The clues are very clear, I’m confident I can solve this case. What clues? Usually when Ye Sha commits crimes, even if his methods are different, he always targets important government officials. This time, he killed women from a brothel. How do you know they were brothel women? According to Daqi law, convicts have tattoos on their faces, soldiers have tattoos on their arms, and brothel women have tattoos on their backs. The fourth corpse had tattoos of brothel women on its body . [Comfort women]
Arresting Officer Zhu just said “all.” [Comfort women] Arresting Officer Zhu just said “all.” That means all four corpses were brothel women. Senior Brother Jiang. Before the three corpses in front of him were burned, did they all have tattoos of brothel women? Yes. All four women were singers. However, before they died, they were all wearing wedding dresses. In other words, they had all been redeemed. But why would Ye Sha act against four women of such low status? That’s why we must investigate. We must start by investigating the victims’ identities. As long as we find the murderer’s motive, what are his connections to these women? By following this clue, we should be able to find it. As long as we find it, the truth will surely be revealed. Find it? Zhong Xueman, what are you doing? I just want to find out the truth and catch the murderer. Please grant it, Chairman. Chairman, it’s better to let him be. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him and won’t let him cause any trouble. For these three years, you’ve always treated my position as chairman as a mere display. Zhong Xueman. Okay. You investigate this case. What else did the human trafficker say? Two months ago, after the offering ceremony, the five Holy Maidens were sent to Hu Shisan’s house. Fu had escaped. How did Fu escape? How are you going to catch him and recapture him? He ran away secretly. At first, we didn’t know where to go. In fact, the other four people told us about a location. However, the remaining four Holy Maidens revealed his whereabouts. The human traffickers rushed to Fu’s house and recaptured him. No one knows what happened next. I think after that, Hu Shisan, in his rage, beat Fu to death. Then, that’s it. The clues are broken again. There’s still someone else who killed Fu besides the four prostitutes and Hu Shisan. Sada. Sada? In that case, when we found him back then, we should have chased after him immediately. I know where he is. Do you still remember what weapons the two men in black who kidnapped Sada used ? One used a sword, the other a sword. Their attacks were ruthless and their martial arts skills were extremely high. They didn’t seem like ordinary people at all. Two bodyguards from the Jingshan Mansion. The Jingshan Mansion was also a Nanyue person. Trusting Hua Mantian was also reasonable. However, he sent two of his personal bodyguards to rescue Sada, which shows that their relationship is not ordinary at all. I injured one of the men in black , the wound was on his shoulder. As long as we go to the mansion to examine his injuries on the spot, we can verify the identity of the man in black, and then follow his trail to find Sada. Thank you very much. What kind of thanks? If it wasn’t you just now… If you had helped me block that attack, I might have been killed by that man. Of course, thank you for saving me. We’re in the same situation now. If you died, it would affect the investigation. No, you… Never mind. I’ll definitely repay you. How do you plan to repay me? I haven’t thought about it yet. But I will repay you sooner or later. I don’t want to owe you anything. Thank you, Bai Long. No, I told you not to call me that outside. It’s so strange. I realize you’re becoming more and more like a good person. Could it be that you were really framed? Take a guess. Even though you’re a coroner, you’re also an arresting officer of the Sacred Arrest Battalion. You should learn a lot from Arresting Officer Zhong. With everything in front of you, you should always be suspicious, don’t trust anyone easily. What if everything I’m doing now is just using you? Using me? My life isn’t as tiring as yours. I just know you saved my life. Even if you used me, it was worth it. Besides, I don’t think Arresting Officer Zhong completely distrusts you. How should I put it? Look. Just as you said, he’s suspicious of everything. Afraid of you leaving his sight, he’s locked you up in chains, afraid you’ll escape. But that day when he found out you’d taken the wrong medicine and fainted, that panicked look of his… It’s completely unlike the feelings one would have for an enemy who killed his father. Perhaps he’s just afraid I’ll die, preventing this case from being investigated clearly. However, this is just like a corpse that can’t lie. A living person’s conscience can’t lie to itself. If he truly didn’t trust you in his heart, he should have tried his best to find evidence and throw you into the imperial prison, instead of being like this, bearing the charge of harboring a high-profile fugitive. Why look for Hu Shisan and Sada? He seems to be clinging to his last hope in a desperate situation, desperately trying to prove something. What he wants to prove, you know better than I do, right? Let Coroner Feng take you home first. Tell me the situation at the crime scene. Based on the conditions at the scene, the perpetrator should be related to the salt and iron factory. Chief Fang has already brought people there. Arresting Officer Zhong, you take Tong Shuang to the salt and iron factory. Coroner Feng, take me to the scene to take a look. Brother. With your condition now… Hurry up and go. Come on. Be careful. [A Gentle Breeze Blows] Where did the perpetrator come from [A Gentle Breeze Blows] Where did the perpetrator
take the person from? At that time, several maidservants were accompanying Young Master Ajia
[A Gentle Breeze Blows] were accompanying Young Master Ajia drinking wine and having fun here. [A Gentle Breeze Blows] drinking wine and having fun here. At that time, the maidservants had been drugged, so they didn’t see anything. The other people were outside the courtyard, completely silent. Arresting Officer Zhu found a torn piece of cloth on the thorny plants. He suspected that the piece of cloth was torn from the hem of the perpetrator’s pants . The piece of cloth smelled of salt and iron. In this capital, which smells of salt and iron together Only the salt and iron factories. He suspected that the perpetrator had a close relationship with the salt and iron factories . Was there a problem? That meant being taken away by climbing over the wall. Coroner Feng, please carry me to the front of the wall. You go there. Okay. There’s nothing here. How about it? There’s nothing here either. Go ahead. I already know. Know about what? Brother Xiao. Brother Xiao. Have you found it? There are too many warehouses in this salt and iron factory, like a maze. Continue searching, there’s no way I won’t find it! Okay. Come on. Quickly. Uncle. What else is there? Leader. Follow me. Xiao Beiming has already jumped into the ravine. Quickly, come on, quick, Uncle. Senior Brother. Hold onto my melon hammer chain. Brother Xiao. Hold on tight! Arresting Officer Zhong. Be careful. Arresting Officer Zhong. Don’t! Don’t! Senior Brother! Oh, yes. There’s one more thing I forgot to tell you. Do you know the true meaning of the word Ye Sha? You mean Haiya? Haiya? Zhong Yunchi. How long are you going to pretend? [Fengbo Lake, 3 years ago] Capture King Zhong has always [Fengbo Lake, 3 years ago] adhered to the law and regulations in handling cases, [Fengbo Lake, 3 years ago] adhered to the law and regulations in handling cases, never doing anything that violated the rules. However, today, without any evidence, he invited us aboard the ship, and set a life-and-death trap. Is this the method Capture King Zhong always uses to solve cases ? This is clearly killing to silence. You… Killed us first, then accused one of those on board of being Ye Sha. The rest could be pretended to have died in the fight with Ye Sha, thus allowing a smooth escape. Capture Officer Xiao, why did your teacher insist on not letting you board the ship? Because you were not part of his plan at all . Am I right, Capture King Zhong, Zhong Yunchi? Or should I call you Ye Sha? Don’t speak carelessly. My teacher invited you aboard the ship only to verify Ye Sha’s true identity, never with the intention of slandering, let alone harming anyone. Mr. Miao, don’t escalate the matter to the point where it can’t be resolved. What do you know? It seems like you’ve discovered some information over the past three years. I’m a Haiya person, one of the few survivors of Haiya, an orphan of Haiya. Where is Haiya? What exactly happened back then? I already know you don’t believe me. Then, I’ll tell you another story. What story? What exactly are you trying to say? Be patient. You’ll understand once you hear it. Long ago, on the border of Daqi , there was a small town called Haiya. Haiya was located in a remote area, with a small population of less than ten thousand. But they could also be said to live a safe and peaceful life. Suddenly, one day, a strange incident occurred in Haiya City. A group of strange creatures invaded Haiya City. These strange creatures were extremely ferocious and cruel, and unafraid of weapons or fire. In just one night, they slaughtered ten thousand residents, leaving nothing behind. Since then, Haiya City disappeared from the map of Daqi, becoming a folk legend. You’re talking nonsense here, what are you trying to say? The true meaning of the word Ye Sha is a term for a group of demonic creatures that massacred Haiya City in the past. A small town on the border was completely massacred in one night. Sometimes when humans do evil, it can be more frightening than ghosts. You mean there are people who massacred the entire Haiya? Actually, there are no ghosts in this world, everything is the work of humans. Not only did they massacre the city, they even maliciously slandered others. Saying Ye Sha is a cruel ghost who massacred the entire Haiya. But I can tell you, in fact, every person who survived Haiya is Ye Sha. ♪ Burning away half a lifetime’s worth of passion without asking for tomorrow ♪ ♪ One journey of wounds, one long journey ♪ ♪ Don’t look back, don’t feel indebted ♪ Rain falls. ♪ Breaking through the dawn, what’s the fear of facing many disasters ♪ Come, let’s go back. ♪ Breaking through the dawn, what’s the fear of facing many disasters ♪ ♪ Breaking through the dawn, what’s the fear of facing many disasters ♪ ♪ Without regrets and without complaints ♪ I know what you’re thinking. ♪ Without regrets and without complaints ♪

There are bats and the moon, afraid that others won’t be able to see us, huh? You fool. General Huo is being laid to rest and there will be many people coming to pay their respects. This Huo residence needs lanterns lit continuously and someone must guard them all night. Look. The people who light the lanterns are all wearing clothes like this. This is called a night watchman’s outfit. No, so what do these bats and the moon mean? Bats are homophonous with good luck. Four bats surrounding the moon resemble copper coins, symbolizing prosperity. The deceased died at an old age, so one must guard his good luck and prosperity. The people who keep night watch for the deceased, besides family members and descendants, are usually distinguished guests. Therefore, the servants won’t ask many questions. That’s fine. You’re not tall, but you have quite a lot of knowledge. Let’s go examine General Huo’s body first. Stay alert. If I’m discovered, I’ll hold them back, and you guys can escape immediately. I’m a grown man here… Do you need me to hold them back? Alright. Come together, then leave together. Everyone be careful and act accordingly. Especially you, Tong Shuang, don’t act rashly. Don’t worry, Big Sister. I’ll be careful. Let’s go. I’ve long heard that General Huo has accepted many disciples and nurtured them in his residence. Today, upon seeing this, it’s true. Those people in the front hall are clearly trained. We mustn’t disturb them. The Huo Residence is too large. The study room, the bedroom, and the places General Huo frequents might all hold important clues. Now that the Huo Residence is bustling with activity, it’s the perfect time to sneak in. We move separately. Tong Shuang. The two of us went to General Huo’s yard. Junior Brother. You take Feng Qingzhuo to the backyard. In an hour, we’ll meet here. Be careful. You investigate that way. Then, you? I’m going to the student yard. I think it’s better if we don’t separate. You are scared? Who’s afraid? [Apricot Forest in Warm Spring] Please don’t kill me. You didn’t come to watch the night. Who are you? Say, what are you doing in my house? I think the post-mortem is almost complete now. Arresting Officer Zhong. Have the person inside open the door. How about this? Arresting Officer Zhong, please. That’s him, the person who stole my teacher’s body. Are there any findings from the autopsy? Report, Chairman Fang. The corpse did not die from disease, there was something odd about the cause of death. Nonsense. My teacher obviously died of illness. Because there are irregularities, we will listen to Coroner Feng’s explanation. What do you all think? I am Huo Dairong, Huo Zongyao’s daughter, I agree with Chairman Fang’s suggestion. How about we listen to the autopsy results first? If my father was truly murdered, I urge the Great Capture Battalion and the Secret Investigation Battalion to lead the investigation to find the truth. Okay. Everyone, please come in. Let me explain things one by one. You just said there were two corpse thieves? That’s right. These two people… Chief… Mo Chong. You also accompanied Zhong Xueman here to play? I… I heard Junior Sister… Junior Sister, thank goodness you’re fine. Behind the bedroom is a training ground, and in the middle of the training ground is a large arena. On the arena were some blood stains. Those are marks from
[Self-Discipline]. Those are marks… Those are marks from years of blood spatter. It can be seen that the fight in the arena was by no means a simple touch. This shows that when Huo Zongyao taught his disciples martial arts, he would require them to fight to the death. Furthermore, I also found torture instruments on the training ground. This means that for years, these disciples had been subjected to inhumane treatment and finally couldn’t take it anymore , and the intention to kill a person arose. Besides General Huo’s disciples, Madam Huo was also problematic. Madam Huo’s back was covered in scars, clearly having been tortured. Furthermore, someone whose husband had died should have dressed more simply, but the underwear she wore was so eye-catching. Her expression as she styled her hair in front of the mirror was relaxed, as if her husband’s death was a happy occasion. This was clearly unnatural. If all the wounds on Madam Huo’s body were caused by Huo Zongyao, then Madam Huo also had a motive for murder. It wasn’t just Madam Huo. There was also Xue Qianshan who wanted to set fire. Use fire to force them out. Xue Qianshan clearly knew General Huo’s body was in the morgue, but he still wanted to set fire. This showed that he didn’t regard the body as important at all , more like he wanted to destroy evidence. There was another person who was a little difficult for me to understand. You mean General Huo’s daughter, Huo Dairong? That lady looks gentle and weak, not like a bad person. She recognized my identity with one look , definitely not an ordinary woman. Although you are wearing a night guard’s robe, those formal shoes you are wearing are official shoes. You are Zhong Xueman. She is so powerful? That day she again tricked me into going to the Huo Residence’s bedroom, [Jade Gem and Autumn Frost]
made me meet Mrs. Huo, [Jade Gem and Autumn Frost] so that my identity was exposed. [Jade Gem and Autumn Frost] Then she deliberately tried to win my heart, [Jade Gem and Autumn Frost] Then she deliberately tried to win my heart, who knows what her true intentions are. This Miss Huo is indeed not simple. For now, the clues are still not enough, still need to go to the Huo Residence again. Must go. Arrest Officer Tong. Miss Huo. Wasn’t Arrest Officer Tong with Arrest Officer Zhong just now? Why is she moving alone now? I have important matters and must return to the Divine Arrest Battalion immediately. Miss Huo chased all the way here, is there anything you want to ask? Now that I think about it, the person in front of me might not be Arrest Officer Tong, but rather the old acquaintance I mentioned earlier. Miss Huo. We’ve never met before, so you must have mistaken me. I’m not very knowledgeable, nor am I skilled in martial arts, but I do know a bit about disguise. Furthermore, these eyes of yours are truly familiar to me. – So… – Miss Huo, you’ve mistaken me. It’s been a long time, Xiao Beiming. Have we met? It’s a bit embarrassing to tell you. I used to admire Arrest Officer Xiao very much. I know everything about the cases you’ve solved . I’ve even secretly gone to the front of the Great Arrest Battalion several times to see you. Since Miss Huo knows my identity, aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you to silence you? I don’t believe you’re Ye Sha. Why do you say that? Because Zhong Xueman has always been by your side. Little Sister Rong? Why did Little Sister Rong come here? My heart was restless, so I wandered aimlessly, who would have thought I’d end up here. It seems like Little Sister Rong is facing some trouble. Tell Big Sister, I’ll help you solve it. Father passed away so suddenly, and I haven’t had time to find a partner for me. You know, Madam has never been able to accept me and my concubine mother. In the future, my mother and I won’t know who to rely on. These tears just flowed out of nowhere. This Miss Huo is not to be underestimated. Little Sister Rong, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, how could I let you suffer? Thank you for Big Sister Xue’s kind intentions. However, we women usually spend a lot of money on daily necessities. I also know Big Sister Xue’s monthly income. It’s probably just barely enough to support me and my mother . How could I trouble Big Sister Xue? Little Sister Rong is too worried. Big Sister has been lucky lately, finding ways to make money. Today alone, I’ve already made a profit, this much. Fifty taels? Five hundred taels. There will be even more income later. I don’t know where Sister Xue got her fortune from. I’m just afraid that money obtained through luck can’t be relied upon. I have a valuable item. Relying on it to make money is the safest option. A valuable item? What valuable item could be so valuable? This item itself is worthless, but it can bring me a lot of money. Little Brother Rong, as long as you’re willing to come with me, I guarantee you’ll live a very comfortable life in the future. Is that true? I don’t believe it. Could it be that Sister Xue is lying to me? Little Brother Rong, you don’t believe me? I’ll get the valuable item for you right away, so you can see it. Wait, Little Brother Rong.
