What do you mean?

Someone unveiled the red cloth for shrouding the body.
120
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:15,590
The monks found it.
121
00:10:15,970 --> 00:10:17,050
If they didn't unveil the red cloth,
122
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:18,570
how would they know
123
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,560

In that case,
125
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:22,770

Are you trying to test me?
127
00:10:29,810 --> 00:10:31,690
I'm in no mood for that.
128
00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:39,050
The most important thing
129
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:40,620
to investigate into a case
130
00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:43,210
is to know the original state of the victim.
131
00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:44,730
This backyard
132
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:47,180
may not be the place where she was killed,
133
00:10:47,330 --> 00:10:49,620
but turning over the body at will
134
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,090
can greatly hinder the effect of the autopsy.
135
00:10:55,010 --> 00:10:57,520
This place is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.
136
00:10:58,340 --> 00:10:59,460
If I can't find the culprit
137
00:11:00,020 --> 00:11:02,300
of the homicide case,
138
00:11:02,410 --> 00:11:04,420
I will report it to the Supreme Court.
139
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,160
The Imperial Guards are in charge of
140
00:11:08,420 --> 00:11:11,100

141
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,560
General.
142
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:15,940
You're overstepping your authority.
143
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:21,500
You're right.
144
00:11:22,740 --> 00:11:23,580
But isn't Chang'an County
145
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:25,140
located
146
00:11:25,180 --> 00:11:26,380
in the capital?
147
00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:28,340
Over the past year,
148
00:11:29,140 --> 00:11:30,820
there have been many murders in the capital.
149
00:11:31,180 --> 00:11:33,090
I have every reason to suspect
150
00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:35,060
that the murderer behind these homicide cases
151
00:11:35,660 --> 00:11:37,120
are trying to harm the court,
152
00:11:38,620 --> 00:11:41,420
and even the current emperor.
153
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:43,170
Shouldn't I investigate it?
154
00:11:45,890 --> 00:11:48,320
There are many cases like this.
155
00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:51,190
I assumed office today,
156
00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:54,510
why didn't I see
157
00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:56,580
the old case files?
158
00:11:56,630 --> 00:11:57,990
That's the matter of your Chang'an County.
159
00:11:58,260 --> 00:11:59,680
Why do you ask me?
160
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:02,730
Do your job well! Carry out the autopsy and investigate into the case!
161
00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:04,930
Don't humiliate Detective Di
162
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:06,660
in the name of his legitimate disciple.
163
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:08,660
Let's go.
164
00:12:08,690 --> 00:12:09,210
Yes, General.
165
00:12:15,340 --> 00:12:17,100
The deceased wears a wedding dress.
166
00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:18,480
She should be a bride.
167
00:12:20,250 --> 00:12:20,660
Come here.
168
00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:22,110
Turn her over.
169
00:12:24,650 --> 00:12:25,240
Fang Xiang,
170
00:12:25,780 --> 00:12:27,270
the divinity that leads the way.
171
00:12:27,630 --> 00:12:29,510
He was a general in front of the palace
172
00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:31,020
of King Zhou of Yin
173
00:12:31,260 --> 00:12:32,900
and the vanguard during the expedition.
174
00:12:33,140 --> 00:12:35,370
Later in the legend, he evolved into
175
00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:38,070
a road deity who exorcises ghosts at funerals.
176
00:12:38,380 --> 00:12:40,060
According to the Tang Dynasty's rules,
177
00:12:40,780 --> 00:12:42,180
the person who can use Fang Xiang
178
00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:43,380
must be above the fourth-rank official.
179
00:12:43,690 --> 00:12:46,800
Ordinary people can't use it without permission.
180
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:52,280
Write it dwon.
181
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,760
The mask is deep in the victim's skin.
182
00:12:56,090 --> 00:12:58,900
and has become one with her face.
183
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:01,450
The murderer's method of killing
184
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,660
is bizarre and terrifying.
185
00:13:06,450 --> 00:13:06,930
Wu.
186
00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:09,080
Tomorrow morning, you go and find out
187
00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:11,260
who lost the bride.
188
00:13:12,780 --> 00:13:14,230
If I remember correctly,
189
00:13:14,810 --> 00:13:16,180
the first time this happened
190
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:19,590
should be in early July last year.
191
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:21,250
Which is, one year ago.
192
00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:23,100
Yes.
193
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,640
General.
194
00:13:33,530 --> 00:13:35,530
Do you want to be the president of the Supreme Court?
195
00:13:36,580 --> 00:13:37,100
No.
196
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:38,180
You don't want?
197
00:13:39,020 --> 00:13:40,050
Then why are your eyes shining
198
00:13:40,090 --> 00:13:41,170
when you hear about
199
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:43,340
a homicide case?
200
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:44,820
Nonsense.
201
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:47,180
You brat.
202
00:13:47,210 --> 00:13:48,290
Do you want to be beaten?
203
00:13:48,380 --> 00:13:49,020
General, calm down.
204
00:13:49,390 --> 00:13:50,760
I will shut my mouth up.
205
00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:54,810
It's 9 o'clock p.m..
206
00:13:55,420 --> 00:13:55,860
Go on night patrol.
207
00:13:56,060 --> 00:13:56,460
Yes, General.
208
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:58,210
Sheriff Su.
209
00:13:58,210 --> 00:13:58,940
[Pei's Residence]
210
00:13:58,940 --> 00:14:00,500
Let me toast you first.
211
00:14:01,370 --> 00:14:02,570
No, no.
212
00:14:03,460 --> 00:14:05,370
You are the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel,
213
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:06,300
but you invite
214
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,860
a newly arrived sheriff to dinner.
215
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:10,140
I really dare not drink this wine.
216
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,040
[Pei Jian, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel]
217
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:12,720
Sheriff Su.
218
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:14,330
Why do you say so?
219
00:14:14,930 --> 00:14:16,360
In the early spring, the princess traveled to Wugong County,
220
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,160
[Wen Chao, Minister of the Household]
221
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,660
and lost a container for incense at the courier station.
222
00:14:20,020 --> 00:14:20,850
Do you remember?
223
00:14:21,170 --> 00:14:21,690
Yes.
224
00:14:22,350 --> 00:14:23,950
I caught the thief
225
00:14:23,980 --> 00:14:24,910
at that night.
226
00:14:26,250 --> 00:14:27,130
So,
227
00:14:29,190 --> 00:14:29,890
now you understand.
228
00:14:31,850 --> 00:14:32,900
So Sheriff Su
229
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:33,070
was recommended by the princess.
230
00:14:33,070 --> 00:14:35,370
[Magistrate of Chang'an Yuan Lai]
231
00:14:35,370 --> 00:14:36,730
No wonder Assistant Minister Pei
232
00:14:36,980 --> 00:14:38,250
invited you.
233
00:14:38,910 --> 00:14:40,900
I am honored to be here.
234
00:14:42,170 --> 00:14:42,890
Alright. Enough.
235
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,240
Sheriff Su, please.
236
00:14:45,270 --> 00:14:45,990
Father.
237
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:48,590
Father!
238
00:14:48,910 --> 00:14:49,950
I want to marry Xiao.
239
00:14:50,370 --> 00:14:51,740
It's useless to lock me up all day long.
240
00:14:54,580 --> 00:14:55,540
Please excuse me.
241
00:14:55,980 --> 00:14:57,700
My daughter's crazy again.
242
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,680
I'm not crazy.
243
00:14:59,130 --> 00:14:59,310
Father, please send me to the Western Region
244
00:14:59,310 --> 00:15:00,900
[Pei Xijun, the daughter of Pei Jian]
245
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:02,140
to marry Xiao.
246
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,000
You still say you're not crazy?
247
00:15:03,330 --> 00:15:05,180
General Xiao has died on the battlefield.
248
00:15:05,330 --> 00:15:05,860
Dead?
249
00:15:10,750 --> 00:15:12,730
Then I will marry it.
250
00:15:12,910 --> 00:15:13,940
Please grant me.
251
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:21,740
Assistant Minister.
252
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,200
Is that how you take care of her?
253
00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:24,810
Take her back. Quick!
254
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:25,900
Quick! Take her back!
255
00:15:25,940 --> 00:15:26,660
Don't touch me.
256
00:15:27,150 --> 00:15:27,980
-Miss. -Xiao.
257
00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:29,750
Xiao!
258
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,010
Let go of me!
259
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,720
Xiao!
260
00:15:50,140 --> 00:15:50,680
Wu.
261
00:15:51,530 --> 00:15:52,780
Go to the nearby and find the owner who lost it.
262
00:15:53,060 --> 00:15:53,620
The rest of you
263
00:15:54,010 --> 00:15:54,610
follow me to catch the thief.
264
00:15:54,650 --> 00:15:55,090
Yes, General.
265
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:42,370
Assistant Minister Pei, please wait.
266
00:16:44,020 --> 00:16:44,540
Guys,
267
00:16:44,980 --> 00:16:45,940
please wait.
268
00:16:46,420 --> 00:16:48,380
I want to treat you to something nice.
269
00:16:48,940 --> 00:16:49,470
Today,
270
00:16:49,740 --> 00:16:51,750
I feel ill at ease because of my daughter.
271
00:16:51,780 --> 00:16:52,980
If I don't drink a little,
272
00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:55,940
I'm afraid I can't sleep at night.
273
00:16:56,510 --> 00:16:58,160
Assistant Minister Pei wants to treat us
274
00:16:58,300 --> 00:16:59,340
Chang'an black tea?
275
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:00,340
Exactly.
276
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:03,260
I hear that the tea is very expensive.
277
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,210
Copper coins
278
00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:05,990
can never but it.
279
00:17:06,130 --> 00:17:07,300
Three ingots of silver
280
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:09,740
can only buy one liang of tea.
281
00:17:10,250 --> 00:17:12,280
Sometimes you have to use gold.
282
00:17:13,450 --> 00:17:14,079
I bought it
283
00:17:14,098 --> 00:17:15,419
with my own savings.
284
00:17:15,930 --> 00:17:16,660
Today,
285
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,349
I mainly want to treat Sheriff Su.
286
00:17:18,819 --> 00:17:21,060
You two are lucky.
287
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:22,460
-That's right. -Right.
288
00:17:22,858 --> 00:17:23,429
Take him away.
289
00:17:24,980 --> 00:17:25,319
Go.
290
00:17:29,570 --> 00:17:30,060
General.
291
00:17:30,610 --> 00:17:31,370
We found the owner.
292
00:17:35,780 --> 00:17:36,260
Is it yours?
293
00:17:36,970 --> 00:17:37,410
Yes.
294
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:39,340
Thank you, General.
295
00:17:40,490 --> 00:17:43,200
Only copper coins are circulated in the Tang's market.
296
00:17:44,490 --> 00:17:45,410
Most officials
297
00:17:45,870 --> 00:17:47,160
don't have a golden cake like yours.
298
00:17:47,670 --> 00:17:48,990
Think about when you showed your riches
299
00:17:49,180 --> 00:17:50,100
and when you were targeted by a thief.
300
00:17:50,420 --> 00:17:51,440
You should learn from it.
301
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,280
That must be
302
00:17:52,490 --> 00:17:54,630
when I bought Chang'an black tea in the East Market.
303
00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:56,290
Chang'an black tea?
304
00:17:57,140 --> 00:17:57,830
Did you buy it?
305
00:17:58,540 --> 00:17:59,300
No.
306
00:17:59,660 --> 00:18:01,420
I didn't expect the immortal tea
307
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:02,940
was so hard to buy in Chang'an.
308
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:03,700
How dare you!
309
00:18:04,820 --> 00:18:06,460
Who said this was immortal tea?
310
00:18:07,660 --> 00:18:08,520
I've heard it
311
00:18:08,890 --> 00:18:09,810
when I was in Luoyang.
312
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:11,980
Chang'an black tea is popular in the capital.
313
00:18:12,260 --> 00:18:14,060
The high officials and nobles rush to buy it.
314
00:18:14,540 --> 00:18:16,530
The saints and the princess are enjoying them.
315
00:18:16,620 --> 00:18:17,380
That's why I...
316
00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:18,230
Nonsense!
317
00:18:36,010 --> 00:18:36,820
The tea's raw material
318
00:18:37,090 --> 00:18:38,210
is rare,
319
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:39,580
and the method to make it is unique.
320
00:18:40,060 --> 00:18:42,460
The elderly will feel refreshed
321
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:44,070
and their physique will stretch after drinking it.
322
00:18:44,420 --> 00:18:45,850
After young people drink it,
323
00:18:46,180 --> 00:18:47,420
their yangqi will overflow
324
00:18:47,610 --> 00:18:49,360
and they will have infinite energy.
325
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:51,590
It is said that if someone drinks it often,
326
00:18:51,860 --> 00:18:53,350
he can even reach the fairyland
327
00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:55,340
and dance with the deity.
328
00:18:55,650 --> 00:18:56,780
I hear about it too.
329
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:58,210
I didn't expect
330
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,760
I was so lucky to drink it tonight.
331
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:06,360
Come on.
332
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,880
Sheriff Su, after you.
333
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:10,060
Thank you, Assistant Minister Pei.
334
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,310
He...
335
00:19:23,530 --> 00:19:24,410
Su Qian.
336
00:19:24,670 --> 00:19:26,710
Such a quiet courtyard.
337
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,970
Where is this place?
338
00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:29,210
This is the residence
339
00:19:29,230 --> 00:19:30,900
for you in Chang'an.
340
00:19:31,220 --> 00:19:32,100
The dead sheriff
341
00:19:32,170 --> 00:19:33,890
used to live here.
342
00:19:35,580 --> 00:19:36,380
I heard
343
00:19:36,460 --> 00:19:38,460
Wu Daqi was powerful
344
00:19:38,730 --> 00:19:40,560
and once made military contributions in the border.
345
00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:42,460
He drowned here
346
00:19:42,820 --> 00:19:44,220
at his prime.
347
00:19:44,940 --> 00:19:45,070
This residence
348
00:19:45,070 --> 00:19:47,290
[Su Qian, Old servant of Su family]
349
00:19:47,290 --> 00:19:48,430
is ominous.
350
00:19:49,570 --> 00:19:51,370
Those who are afraid of ominous things
351
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,310
are trapped in the fog.
352
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:55,870
Once the truth is revealed,
353
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:57,420
they'll be surprised
354
00:19:57,700 --> 00:19:58,460
that the truth
355
00:19:59,820 --> 00:20:02,160
is so close to us.
356
00:20:07,010 --> 00:20:07,820
Sheriff Su.
357
00:20:11,180 --> 00:20:11,850
Magistrate Yuan.
358
00:20:12,250 --> 00:20:13,560
Why are you here?
359
00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:14,860
I'm worried about you.
360
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:15,760
Yesterday,
361
00:20:15,980 --> 00:20:17,420
you scared me.
362
00:20:17,650 --> 00:20:19,820
When I saw the color of the tea,
363
00:20:20,180 --> 00:20:21,110
my head
364
00:20:21,140 --> 00:20:22,780
became a real mess.
365
00:20:23,020 --> 00:20:24,020
To be honest,
366
00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:26,280
I faint at the sight of blood since childhood.
367
00:20:27,130 --> 00:20:28,330
Faint at the sight of blood?
368
00:20:30,770 --> 00:20:32,620
You are the disciple of Detective Di.
369
00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:33,740
I heard that...
370
00:20:34,940 --> 00:20:37,210
Rumours may not be true,
371
00:20:37,230 --> 00:20:40,110
but me fainting at the sight of blood is absolutely true.
372
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:42,560
Sorry for that, magistrate.
373
00:20:42,910 --> 00:20:43,780
In that case,
374
00:20:44,130 --> 00:20:45,290
you can still solve mysterious cases
375
00:20:45,330 --> 00:20:47,230
in Wugong County.
376
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,840
You are really a genius.
377
00:20:50,020 --> 00:20:51,210
I'm just lucky.
378
00:20:52,410 --> 00:20:52,930
By the way,
379
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,330
General Lu from the Imperial Guards said
380
00:20:55,350 --> 00:20:57,470
that there were many cases of missing brides in the capital
381
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:58,740
last year.
382
00:20:58,940 --> 00:21:00,860
I want to see the old case files.
383
00:21:04,740 --> 00:21:05,650
Don't mention it.
384
00:21:06,660 --> 00:21:08,200
The former magistrate Wu Daqi
385
00:21:08,220 --> 00:21:09,140
died accidentally.
386
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,850
Yongzhou Government,
387
00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:12,030
the Supreme Court,
388
00:21:12,180 --> 00:21:12,980
and the Imperial Guards
389
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:14,260
sent people in turn.
390
00:21:14,620 --> 00:21:15,410
His residence
391
00:21:15,980 --> 00:21:16,980
and his office
392
00:21:17,260 --> 00:21:19,460
were searched everywhere.
393
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:22,510
All the files were confiscated,
394
00:21:22,780 --> 00:21:25,500
and no one has returned them so far.
395
00:21:30,980 --> 00:21:32,310
I see.
396
00:21:40,810 --> 00:21:41,450
General.
397
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,050
I saw you last night.
398
00:21:45,090 --> 00:21:45,570
Where?
399
00:21:46,060 --> 00:21:47,340
On a painting.
400
00:21:48,820 --> 00:21:50,620
Do you know
401
00:21:50,650 --> 00:21:52,380
Miss Xijun, daughter of Assistant Minister Pei of Ministry of Personnel?
402
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:54,250
No.
403
00:21:56,060 --> 00:21:56,590
General.
404
00:21:56,910 --> 00:21:58,870
You're hiding it on purpose.
405
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,400
Don't you have anything to do?
406
00:22:01,980 --> 00:22:02,970
Have you found out the truth
407
00:22:03,340 --> 00:22:04,260
about the female corpse last night?
408
00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:07,010
I'm investigating.
409
00:22:07,410 --> 00:22:09,480
The bride went missing on the day she got married.
410
00:22:09,780 --> 00:22:11,020
Then she was murdered and dumped.
411
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,310
Similar cases
412
00:22:12,580 --> 00:22:13,920
happened on occasion in a year.
413
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,600
As the sheirff of Chang'an,
414
00:22:15,940 --> 00:22:16,860
you don't investigate the case,
415
00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:18,300
instead, you cling to powerful people
416
00:22:18,810 --> 00:22:19,980
and look at the paintings!
417
00:22:22,020 --> 00:22:22,820
You are nervous,
418
00:22:23,650 --> 00:22:25,340
which means you must know
419
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:26,200
Miss Xijun.
420
00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:27,660
Tell me. Tell me.
421
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,230
What's going on between you and Miss Xijun?
422
00:22:29,690 --> 00:22:30,180
Boring.
423
00:22:31,970 --> 00:22:33,210
Detective Di has an impressive reputation.
424
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,250
Why did he accept a disciple like you?
425
00:22:40,330 --> 00:22:41,440
The bride's surname is Dou.
426
00:22:41,810 --> 00:22:43,260
The Imperial Guards have ordered his family
427
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,040
to identify the body.
428
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,020
Thank you, General.
429
00:22:48,430 --> 00:22:49,700
My daughter.
430
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:51,220
My daughter!
431
00:22:51,250 --> 00:22:52,840
My daughter.
432
00:22:53,460 --> 00:22:54,080
My condolences.
433
00:22:54,430 --> 00:22:55,060
[Mortuary, Chang'an County]
434
00:22:55,060 --> 00:22:55,550
Madam.
435
00:22:55,870 --> 00:22:56,990
My daughter.
436
00:22:57,810 --> 00:22:58,840
My daughter.
437
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,030
What happened to you?
438
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:04,170
Sheriff.
439
00:23:05,330 --> 00:23:06,450
The deceased is Dou Cong.
440
00:23:06,690 --> 00:23:07,570
She got married yesterday.
441
00:23:08,020 --> 00:23:09,910
The groom lived in a town
442
00:23:09,940 --> 00:23:11,420
5km away from the Mingde Gate.
443
00:23:11,660 --> 00:23:13,150
The carriage went on as normal,
444
00:23:13,180 --> 00:23:14,100
but halfway,
445
00:23:14,340 --> 00:23:14,960
the horse got a fright
446
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:15,900
and then disappeared.
447
00:23:17,310 --> 00:23:18,390
Have you identified the body?
448
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,900
We can't identify her face,
449
00:23:21,340 --> 00:23:22,620
but the red mole behind the ears
450
00:23:22,790 --> 00:23:23,930
and the birthmark on the waist
451
00:23:24,460 --> 00:23:25,340
showed that it was her.
452
00:23:26,740 --> 00:23:27,110
You...
453
00:23:28,010 --> 00:23:30,530
Are you the new sheriff?
454
00:23:30,580 --> 00:23:31,090
Yes.
455
00:23:31,570 --> 00:23:33,480
Please find out who killed
456
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,350
my daughter.
457
00:23:35,450 --> 00:23:36,600
Sir, please get up.
458
00:23:36,820 --> 00:23:37,460
Please rise.
459
00:23:37,780 --> 00:23:38,940
The murderer is Song Chai.
460
00:23:41,460 --> 00:23:42,400
This is...
461
00:23:42,570 --> 00:23:44,600
My son, Dou Yulin.
462
00:23:46,220 --> 00:23:47,540
I've been waiting for the bride at home.
463
00:23:47,980 --> 00:23:48,980
How did I become the murderer?
464
00:23:49,540 --> 00:23:50,980
If you didn't leave my sister behind,
465
00:23:51,260 --> 00:23:52,160
she wouldn't have died tragically.
466
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,540
This is the custom of Tang.
467
00:23:53,570 --> 00:23:54,280
What custom?
468
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:55,930
-It must be your trick. -You...
469
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:02,580
Dou Yulin.
470
00:24:02,980 --> 00:24:04,300
I heard from your servant
471
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:06,060
that the bride's horse was frightened.
472
00:24:06,290 --> 00:24:07,580
But you didn't go after it.
473
00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:09,580
Where did you go?
474
00:24:12,420 --> 00:24:14,100
It has nothing to do with my sister's death.
475
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:15,580
Answer me.
476
00:24:17,230 --> 00:24:18,060
I went to drink.
477
00:24:20,030 --> 00:24:21,990
Your sister married Song Chai.
478
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,110
Are you unhappy with that?
479
00:24:23,210 --> 00:24:23,610
Of course.
480
00:24:23,940 --> 00:24:24,600
It's all my father's fault.
481
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:25,630
My sister shouldn't
482
00:24:25,660 --> 00:24:26,580
marry this scumbag.
483
00:24:26,810 --> 00:24:27,170
You...
484
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:29,890
Sheriff Su,
485
00:24:29,980 --> 00:24:31,470
even if Song Chai is not the murderer,
486
00:24:31,980 --> 00:24:33,180
he must have something to do
487
00:24:33,370 --> 00:24:34,220
with my sister's death.
488
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:35,570
Please investigate it.
489
00:24:37,180 --> 00:24:38,060
Leave here now.
490
00:24:42,420 --> 00:24:42,860
You...
491
00:24:45,660 --> 00:24:46,300
Sheriff Su.
492
00:24:46,610 --> 00:24:47,120
Cong.
493
00:24:48,580 --> 00:24:49,750
Cong is really dead?
494
00:24:52,130 --> 00:24:53,100
Cong didn't come.
495
00:24:54,550 --> 00:24:55,530
I thought it was Dou Yulin
496
00:24:55,550 --> 00:24:56,310
who had something to do with it.
497
00:24:56,380 --> 00:24:57,820
He took his sister back.
498
00:24:58,290 --> 00:24:59,760
Why do you think so?
499
00:25:00,410 --> 00:25:01,420
My parents died.
500
00:25:02,010 --> 00:25:02,890
My family fell apart.
501
00:25:03,070 --> 00:25:04,680
The Dou family wanted to break off the engagement,
502
00:25:05,140 --> 00:25:06,110
especially Dou Yulin.
503
00:25:06,340 --> 00:25:07,580
He spoke rudely for several times.
504
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,930
If it weren't for my father-in-law's decision,
505
00:25:10,620 --> 00:25:12,260
and for Cong's love to me,
506
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,250
there would be no such thing as yesterday's marriage.
507
00:25:14,860 --> 00:25:15,370
Sheriff Su,
508
00:25:16,460 --> 00:25:17,740
please catch the murderer
509
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:19,860
to soothe the death of my wife.
510
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:23,820
I see.
511
00:25:27,170 --> 00:25:27,900
Sheriff Su, please.
512
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:34,650
Sheriff.
513
00:25:34,780 --> 00:25:36,440
Ask Song Chai
514
00:25:36,460 --> 00:25:37,730
to come to the county government
515
00:25:37,930 --> 00:25:39,300
and report his whereabouts every morning.
516
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:40,510
What's your purpose?
517
00:25:40,780 --> 00:25:42,620
I'm afraid he'll escape punishment.
518
00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:43,590
That's impossible.
519
00:25:44,060 --> 00:25:45,100
He's the groom.
520
00:25:45,540 --> 00:25:47,230
And also a gambler.
521
00:25:47,670 --> 00:25:48,670
We can't trust him.
522
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:53,500
Song Chai wasn't captured.
523
00:25:54,580 --> 00:25:55,420
It seems that Su Wuming
524
00:25:55,460 --> 00:25:56,460
doesn't suspect Song Chai.
525
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,130
That fool.
526
00:25:59,060 --> 00:26:00,340
Song Chai is a gambler.
527
00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:01,490
We can't trust him.
528
00:26:01,860 --> 00:26:03,430
How do you know he is a gambler?
529
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:05,940
I came here this morning.
530
00:26:06,090 --> 00:26:06,880
He hasn't gone home yet.
531
00:26:07,650 --> 00:26:08,460
It's curfew in Chang'an.
532
00:26:08,940 --> 00:26:09,900
Those who don't go back home at night are
533
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:11,500
the drunkard and gambler.
534
00:26:12,420 --> 00:26:13,500
But he didn't drink.
535
00:26:13,860 --> 00:26:14,900
He probably went to gamble.
536
00:26:15,670 --> 00:26:16,730
His poor family
537
00:26:17,220 --> 00:26:18,330
also proves that.
538
00:26:22,260 --> 00:26:23,140
Big. Big.
539
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:23,850
Small. Small.
540
00:26:24,020 --> 00:26:24,570
Small.
541
00:26:24,780 --> 00:26:25,260
Small.
542
00:26:25,290 --> 00:26:25,700
Small.
543
00:26:25,730 --> 00:26:26,200
All in.
544
00:26:26,250 --> 00:26:26,580
Small.
545
00:26:29,970 --> 00:26:30,610
All in.
546
00:26:32,170 --> 00:26:32,730
Small.
547
00:26:33,290 --> 00:26:34,170
Big. Big.
548
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:34,860
Small. Small.
549
00:26:35,020 --> 00:26:35,900
Big. Small.
550
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:37,300
Big! Big! Big!
551
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:38,860
Big! Big!
552
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:43,300
Big. Big. Big.
553
00:26:43,380 --> 00:26:44,000
It must be big.
554
00:26:44,020 --> 00:26:44,500
Big! Big!
555
00:26:44,530 --> 00:26:45,000
I win!
556
00:26:45,150 --> 00:26:45,990
I win!
557
00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:54,190
Who's that?
558
00:26:56,820 --> 00:26:57,660
It's you.
559
00:26:58,780 --> 00:26:59,880
I saw you at the gambling house
560
00:27:00,090 --> 00:27:02,440
winning quite a lot.
561
00:27:03,570 --> 00:27:04,690
Can you give me some instructions?
562
00:27:05,140 --> 00:27:06,000
Instructions?
563
00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:10,650
I have been unlucky for three years,
564
00:27:11,180 --> 00:27:12,290
before I turn over now.
565
00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:14,150
Brother,
566
00:27:15,140 --> 00:27:16,550
I want to have a fortune like you,
567
00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:18,150
but I have no seed money.
568
00:27:18,330 --> 00:27:19,480
So I want to ask you
569
00:27:19,710 --> 00:27:21,080
how to get the seed money.
570
00:27:27,420 --> 00:27:28,060
Stand straight.
571
00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:30,780
Judging from your appearance,
572
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,960
your family should be relatively rich.
573
00:27:36,650 --> 00:27:37,600
My family declined.
574
00:27:37,650 --> 00:27:38,380
Don't worry.
575
00:27:38,850 --> 00:27:40,210
As long as you are from a well-respected family,
576
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:42,100
you can have a good wife.
577
00:27:43,070 --> 00:27:44,950
That's where the seed money comes from.
578
00:27:45,420 --> 00:27:46,340
What do you mean?
579
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,530
I don't understand.
580
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:48,540
Please tell me more.
581
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:49,800
-You are such a... -Song Chai.
582
00:27:50,540 --> 00:27:52,220
I've been looking for you everywhere.
583
00:27:53,150 --> 00:27:53,700
Brother,
584
00:27:53,980 --> 00:27:54,670
Help me.
585
00:27:54,950 --> 00:27:56,080
I'll lend you some money.
586
00:27:56,130 --> 00:27:56,530
Go.
587
00:27:58,300 --> 00:27:59,010
-Don't run! -Stop!
588
00:27:59,540 --> 00:27:59,980
Stop!
589
00:28:00,020 --> 00:28:00,620
Stop!
590
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:02,310
Stop right there!
591
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:05,540
Song Chai,
592
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:06,850
you're rich!
593
00:28:07,070 --> 00:28:08,460
Do you find a better owner
594
00:28:08,650 --> 00:28:10,060
to sell that woman for a big price?
595
00:28:10,260 --> 00:28:11,270
That's why you tricked us?
596
00:28:12,660 --> 00:28:13,030
No.
597
00:28:13,540 --> 00:28:14,340
I won it.
598
00:28:14,670 --> 00:28:15,410
You?
599
00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:16,750
You lost all your money.
600
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:18,000
You never win.
601
00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:19,720
Cut the crap.
602
00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:20,260
Do it.
603
00:28:20,380 --> 00:28:21,350
Give it to me.
604
00:28:21,410 --> 00:28:22,620
No, no, no.
605
00:28:24,820 --> 00:28:25,500
Don't try to run away.
606
00:28:25,540 --> 00:28:26,240
No!
607
00:28:36,460 --> 00:28:38,220
The General of the Imperial Guards is here.
608
00:28:38,470 --> 00:28:40,080
Surrender now!
609
00:28:41,170 --> 00:28:41,930
You?
610
00:28:42,330 --> 00:28:43,250
The General of the Imperial Guards?
611
00:28:43,950 --> 00:28:45,740
Aren't you Song Chai's accomplice?
612
00:28:58,780 --> 00:28:59,180
Song Chai!
613
00:28:59,590 --> 00:29:00,150
Stop running!
614
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:08,170
Who's there?
615
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,990
How dare you break the curfew?
616
00:29:11,210 --> 00:29:11,890
Stop!
617
00:29:12,220 --> 00:29:13,500
Those who break the curfew shall stop,
618
00:29:13,890 --> 00:29:14,940
or you'll be killed.
619
00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:16,270
I won it.
620
00:29:16,740 --> 00:29:17,700
No one can take it.
621
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:21,210
Stop the arrows!
622
00:29:38,180 --> 00:29:38,730
General.
623
00:29:38,940 --> 00:29:39,330
You...
624
00:29:40,410 --> 00:29:41,730
General, I...
625
00:29:58,020 --> 00:29:58,780
Lu Lingfeng,
626
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,520
you've been obstructing my investigation.
627
00:30:01,820 --> 00:30:03,460
I'm going to report you.
628
00:30:05,150 --> 00:30:07,220
You're just a sheriff of Chang'an.
629
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:09,880
How dare you accuse me?
630
00:30:10,860 --> 00:30:12,820
I'll report you to Her Highness.
631
00:30:16,330 --> 00:30:18,010
When did you get close to Her Highness?
632
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:20,430
It's none of your business.
633
00:30:31,140 --> 00:30:32,380
Why was Su Wuming there?
634
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,080
Did he also know
635
00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:38,850
that Song Chai was a gambler
636
00:30:40,130 --> 00:30:42,230
and kept an eye on him?
637
00:30:58,300 --> 00:30:59,620
He was shot by the Imperial Guards.
638
00:30:59,930 --> 00:31:00,830
I saw it with my own eyes.
639
00:31:01,380 --> 00:31:02,140
You don't need to
640
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,270
pretend to examine the body.
641
00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:14,580
I only found this fatal arrow,
642
00:31:14,610 --> 00:31:17,250
but I didn't find the missed one.
643
00:31:17,580 --> 00:31:18,290
General,
644
00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:20,380
shouldn't you give me an explanation?
645
00:31:24,660 --> 00:31:25,440
Explain what?
646
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,000
If my memory serves me right,
647
00:31:30,270 --> 00:31:32,150
if there is someone breaking the curfew,
648
00:31:32,350 --> 00:31:34,060
the Imperial Guards should first
649
00:31:34,540 --> 00:31:36,060
pluck the string to give him a warning.
650
00:31:36,340 --> 00:31:37,900
If he doesn't stop,
651
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,330
shoot on the ground in front him and warn him again.
652
00:31:40,820 --> 00:31:42,120
If he still runs,
653
00:31:42,850 --> 00:31:45,090
they can finally shoot him dead.
654
00:31:45,130 --> 00:31:45,730
So I wonder
655
00:31:46,010 --> 00:31:47,380
how many arrows
656
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,690
did the Imperial Guards use to kill Song Chai?
657
00:31:52,740 --> 00:31:55,260
This person is highly related to the Dou case.
658
00:31:55,290 --> 00:31:56,780
I wanted to capture him alive,
659
00:31:57,220 --> 00:31:58,940
but he was shot dead directly
660
00:31:59,140 --> 00:32:00,700
by the Imperial Guards.
661
00:32:01,950 --> 00:32:02,820
What's the purpose?
662
00:32:02,860 --> 00:32:03,460
Su Wuming.
663
00:32:03,820 --> 00:32:05,060
You're just a sheriff of Chang'an.
664
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,280
How dare you accuse the Imperial Guards?
665
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:11,910
General Lu is prestigious.
666
00:32:13,870 --> 00:32:15,590
You must think that the Imperial Guards are
667
00:32:15,620 --> 00:32:17,670
the closest to His Majesty.
668
00:32:18,180 --> 00:32:19,620
Therefore,
669
00:32:19,820 --> 00:32:22,270
you should share the burden for His Majesty.
670
00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:24,230
If you order others around
671
00:32:24,250 --> 00:32:25,660
in the name of His Majesty... -How dare you!
672
00:32:33,220 --> 00:32:34,010
How audacious you are!
673
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:36,940
Although I am
674
00:32:36,970 --> 00:32:39,050
just a eighth-rank sheriff,
675
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,920
but still an official of Tang.
676
00:32:41,180 --> 00:32:42,540
No matter how high your rank is,
677
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,160
you're just a guard.
678
00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:47,620
This is the county of Chang'an,
679
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,810
not a place for palace guards like you to act tough.
680
00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:53,790
Leave now!
681
00:32:59,260 --> 00:32:59,740
Leave!
682
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:07,050
It was wrong for the Imperial Guards
683
00:33:07,380 --> 00:33:08,660
to kill Song Cai.
684
00:33:09,220 --> 00:33:10,340
But they did that in emergency,
685
00:33:10,550 --> 00:33:11,800
not on purpose.
686
00:33:12,460 --> 00:33:13,820
You don't have to
687
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:15,460
make a big fuss.
688
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:17,300
Sheriff Su.
689
00:33:26,050 --> 00:33:27,490
Song Chai was a gambler.
690
00:33:28,780 --> 00:33:29,900
You also noticed that, right?
691
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:35,350
Back then, I found that he
692
00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:37,820
had calluses on his right index finger and middle finger.
693
00:33:37,950 --> 00:33:40,350
So I deduced there must be calluses
694
00:33:40,380 --> 00:33:41,890
on his thumb.
695
00:33:42,530 --> 00:33:43,630
Only old gamblers
696
00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:45,980
who are obsessed with gambling house
697
00:33:46,210 --> 00:33:47,970
may grow calluses
698
00:33:48,010 --> 00:33:49,520
on these three fingers.
699
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:51,220
In that case,
700
00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:52,900
as the sheriff of Chang'an,
701
00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:54,750
why didn't you arrest and interrogate him?
702
00:33:58,490 --> 00:34:00,250
Although he was a suspect,
703
00:34:00,290 --> 00:34:01,860
he was not the murderer.
704
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:05,220
I wanted to follow the clues.
705
00:34:05,350 --> 00:34:07,290
Have you interrogated those two
706
00:34:07,740 --> 00:34:08,580
who attacked others with daggers?
707
00:34:10,739 --> 00:34:11,429
On my way.
708
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,030
Please spare my life.
709
00:34:14,070 --> 00:34:15,300
We're telling the truth.
710
00:34:16,460 --> 00:34:17,560
Song Chai took us
711
00:34:17,590 --> 00:34:18,810
to check the goods.
712
00:34:19,219 --> 00:34:20,070
That's why we offer him
713
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:21,820
such a big price.
714
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:27,949
What do you mean by "check the goods"?
715
00:34:28,300 --> 00:34:30,449
We are human traffickers.
716
00:34:30,659 --> 00:34:31,190
Song Chai showed us
717
00:34:31,420 --> 00:34:33,030
Miss Dou,
718
00:34:33,090 --> 00:34:34,730
who was really beautiful.
719
00:34:35,139 --> 00:34:36,909
We planned to sell her to the eastern region
720
00:34:36,940 --> 00:34:37,920
to make some money.
721
00:34:38,139 --> 00:34:40,940
We didn't expect to be cheated by Song Chai.
722
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:43,590
We agreed that when the escort team left,
723
00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:45,239
we took Miss Dou at his home.
724
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,739
We waited for the whole night,
725
00:34:47,980 --> 00:34:50,880
but the bride didn't even come in.
726
00:34:54,250 --> 00:34:54,750
Sheriff,
727
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,320
Dou Cong's body
728
00:34:56,659 --> 00:34:58,260
should be stored in the ice room.
729
00:34:58,720 --> 00:34:59,330
No hurry.
730
00:35:04,620 --> 00:35:05,140
Look.
731
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,480
There are no traces of decay
732
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:08,620
on her body.
733
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:10,490
Don't you think it's strange?
734
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:18,300
You're right.
735
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:19,930
It doesn't stink at all.
736
00:35:20,260 --> 00:35:22,420
More than that.
737
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:25,410
Her fragrance is still there.
738
00:35:26,530 --> 00:35:27,600
The murderer
739
00:35:28,820 --> 00:35:30,410
used preservative spice.
740
00:35:32,780 --> 00:35:34,780
It is very special.
741
00:35:35,710 --> 00:35:37,550
I've never smelled
742
00:35:37,580 --> 00:35:38,460
such a fragrance.
743
00:35:39,890 --> 00:35:42,320
The capital of Chang'an is
744
00:35:42,620 --> 00:35:44,630
full of weirdness.
745
00:35:45,250 --> 00:35:46,100
[West Market of Chang'an]
746
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:48,280
This is the West Market
747
00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:50,230
under the Bureau of the West Market of Chang'an.
748
00:35:51,020 --> 00:35:51,990
There are 220 lines of shops
749
00:35:52,020 --> 00:35:53,380
in both East and West Markets.
750
00:35:53,780 --> 00:35:56,100
Because the officials and nobles live in the east,
751
00:35:56,580 --> 00:35:58,660
it's more orderly there
752
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:00,820
with more hand-made goods.
753
00:36:01,380 --> 00:36:03,340
The West Market, however, is more chaotic.
754
00:36:03,670 --> 00:36:06,020
It's a place where ethnic minorities and foreign merchants gather.
755
00:36:06,780 --> 00:36:07,790
From the West
756
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:09,460
or even further places
757
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:09,570
comes spices, jewellery,
758
00:36:09,570 --> 00:36:11,640
[Kang Yuanli, government official of the West Market]
759
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,420
and all kinds of rare things.
760
00:36:13,550 --> 00:36:14,740
They all gather here.
761
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,240
In fact,
762
00:36:18,210 --> 00:36:20,120

It seems you still don't like it.

To be honest,
775
00:36:58,560 --> 00:36:59,600
I'm looking for a fragrance

You must be kidding.

There is no such spice in the world.
779
00:37:07,580 --> 00:37:08,300
Of course there is.

If you go there once,

What did you do?

It was my idea to share the meat of that horse

That was my idea.

The horse for the bride
829
00:39:28,050 --> 00:39:29,370
must be carefully selected.

Even if you don't use it,
