[Episode 2]

Double-grooved knife?

This is a specially made weapon that causes wounds that
are extremely difficult to heal.

I know of a person who is particularly fond of this weapon.

who is particularly fond of this weapon.

Who is it?

Li Xiao, the only son of Li Zongzheng,

the head of the four major clans
in Dayong City.

I see. Li Xiao is rich and powerful.

It's easy for him to
kill a whole theatrical troupe.

But if he did kill these people,

he could have killed them
like killing this shopkeeper.

There's no need for such a fuss.

Hanbai.

- Miss Zuo.
- Hanbai.

You can take me with you.

I promise… I promise

I won't cause any trouble.

No way.

Why?

Beauty, if he doesn't take you, then I will.

Su Chengxi. Don't forget the rules.

Don't you know men and women working
together makes the work easier, block head?

Can you be more serious and not…

Stop.

You are always saying such boring things.

If you want to have fun, go somewhere else.

I give up. Just focus on the case.

Where you're stepping
is where the shopkeeper lied.

The lying position of the shopkeeper
was a bit strange.

If he really wanted to escape, he should have run outside.

Why did he go into the corner?

Maybe he was too scared to find the way out?

I don't think so.
He looks like grabbing something.

Pervert!

What a nice painting.

Shameless.

Why are you looking so seriously?

Look who this is.

[Yuxiang Leading Actress, Liu Yuan]

The leading actress of
the Yuxiang Theatrical Troupe, Liu Yuan.

This place is really full of filth.

It looks like a decent place,

but I didn't expect they did such things.

So Liu Yuan was killed by the shopkeeper,

and then the shopkeeper
committed suicide out of guilt.

You are as wise as your father.

Of course.

Let's go. Let's see
if there are any more clues.

Young master, we've solved the yamen.

Lord Zuo has settled the case.

The shopkeeper committed suicide.

You two go down.

How is it? Have you found Liu Yuan?

Not yet.

Not yet?

Then go find her!

I'm telling you, no matter how,

you have to find her,
no matter she's alive or dead.

- Yes.
- Get lost!

Let me see.

How rude!

So all the women in the painting were sold.

These are all records of transactions.

What does it say?

The records of the painting shop transactions.

All the young women who have gone missing
in Dayong City in recent years

have been sold here.

The owner of this painting shop is Li Xiao.

The shopkeeper of the painting shop
was indeed killed by Li Xiao.

Let's go, Hanbai. Let's catch him.

Where are you going to catch him?

He is the only son of Li Zongzheng.

Even your father wouldn't
dare lay a finger on him.

But we can't just watch him get away with it, right?

Miss Zuo.

You should go back.

We'll go meet this Li Xiao.

I'll go too.

It's too dangerous.

I'm not afraid of danger.

Li Xiao is a pervert.

We're going to a place where he's having fun.

You can imagine that scene.

Well, I…

I won't go.

Good girl.

[Zhenxiang Restaurant]

[Zhenxiang Restaurant]

How do you know he's here?

So when you came back from the woods, you've been keeping an eye on him, right?

Yes.

You already knew the owner of the double-grooved knife
in the woods, why don't you tell me?

You didn't tell me
you stole the painting either.

Good. You're playing fair.

Ghost!

Take this.

Be careful, it has a fragrance.

The window is tightly closed, and the door is locked from the inside.

There's no hiding place.

Young master, I've finally found you.

I have a lead on what you asked me to do.

Let's talk inside.

From the cut, it looks like he stabbed himself.

[I'll see you at the restaurant
if you want your stuff back]

Where is Xiao?

[Li Zongzheng]
Xiao!

Who did it?

Who did it?

Li Zongzheng, I've just checked…

Arrest them!

Wait.

Li Zongzheng, calm down.

Li Xiao has been killed.

What matters now is catching the murderer.

They are the murderers.

I want them arrested and dragged out of here.

Li Zongzheng, Li Xiao came here
for an appointment.

Find the person who made the appointment, and we'll find the murderer.

Mr. Li was killed the moment we got here.

[I'll see you at the restaurant
if you want your stuff back]

Then you three are the ones
who made the appointment with him.

Li Zongzheng, we just arrived at the restaurant and Mr. Li has already been killed.

Don't you fear letting the real murderer go without finding out what happened?

Li Zongzheng, we need to catch the murderer.

Fine.

I'll give you one chance to prove your innocence.

If you don't hand over the murderer by dawn,

I'll have you cut to pieces.

This Li Zongzheng is really unreasonable.

He agreed to let you prove your innocence, but locked you up here.

How can you prove your innocence?

I'm not afraid of him.

Zhao Yin, how is that thing
I asked you to investigate?

I've checked everyone
in the theatrical troupe.

Except for the 11 people on record, there's actually a handyman.

This man looks ugly with a strange character,

making a living working
in the theatrical troupe.

Handyman? What's his name?

No one knows his name.

Everyone just calls him Ugly.

That's too insulting.

And although it's a small theatrical troupe,

the relationships are quite
complicated and dramatic.

Get to the point.

This is a dramatic story.

Liu Yuan and Yi Tianren secretly fell in love.

The handyman really likes Liu Yuan, so Yi Tianren fought with the handyman,

and beat the crap out of him.

Later, the handyman left the theatrical troupe and nobody knew where he went.

I see.

So, the handyman had a grudge
and killed all of them to get revenge.

Liu Yuan and Yi Tianren are now missing.

Until we find these two, we can only know what really happened that day.

So where did they go?

Tell me, who did my son come to see?

Where is that painting?

Mr. Zongzheng, please spare me.
I really don't know anything.

After Liu Yuan ran away
with the painting that night, we've been looking for her ever since.

Then the ghost incident
happened at the city gate.

Ghost?

I think you should go to hell and be a ghost.

Mr. Zongzheng, please spare me. Mr. Zongzheng, please spare me.

Find Liu Yuan and the painting.

Remember, anyone who has seen the painting
must be killed.

Yes.

Mr. Zhao, are you alright?

Stop wandering around.

It's annoying.

Hanbai. Did you find anything?

Beauty, why don't you ask me?

Three Estate.

It's a painting of an estate.

I mean Three Estate.

It's a painting of an estate.

Are you talking about
that ghost estate called Three Estate?

Hanbai, you are quite smart.

You fool!

I mean one, two, three. Three Estate.

I didn't know there is such a place.

I have to go and see.

You'll do it. Throw it farther.

What did you do?

Why don't you just throw it to the moon?

You were the one
who told me to throw it farther.

Throw it properly. Just distract those henchmen down there.

What's that sound? There's movement over there.

Go and check it out.

Zhao Yin, you'd protect Miss Zuo.
We'll go distract them.

You fools, I'm here.

Chase them.

Stop.

Stop right there.

Stop.

Stop, don't run.

Stop, don't run.

Hurry.

Stop.

Stop!

Over there, hurry.

Bai.

- You'd leave.
- I'll carry you.

- Leave me alone.
- Cut the crap and come up.

Let's go to the Three Estate.

Where did those two go?

I don't know.

Let me go. I want to see my father.

Did you hear that? She wants to see her father.

If you can't catch those two,

your father can't protect you either.

- Take her away.
- Yes.

[Three Estate]

Bai, we've arrived.

Be careful.

Hold on.

Bai, look, there are no ghosts here.

Bai.

Bai, I'll pull the arrow out for you.

The arrow is poisoned.

Fortunately, I fed you the antidote pill.

I haven't found out the truth, but owed him a favor already.

Shen Su.

Shen Su. Run.

Run.

Who is Shen Su?

Hurry, run north.

Hey, stop. He's already gone.

Why does he have this jade pendant too?

Take it.

That's ungrateful.

Your jade pendant just fell off, and I picked it up for you.

Fine, you just saved me.

I owe you a favor. Thank you.

It's my duty. You don't need to thank me.

Really? Isn't a normal person supposed to expect something in return?

- No need.
- No way.

I'm the kind of person who pays for a favor.

Tell me, what can I do for you?

Shut your mouth.

I'll go out and take a look. You'd stay here.

Poor little thing, it's you.

Why did you hurt your wings?

You're really lucky.

I am a kind and noble man.

I love to help others in need.

Don't worry, there's no danger.

I picked up a poor thing.

This duck is injured. I have to heal it.

You're going to heal the duck?

You're quite kind.

Of course.

To be honest, I have a nickname, Well-doer Su.

Don't you feel shame?

What? I feel happy.

Unlike you, keep a straight face all day.

There's not so much to be happy about.

Then why don't you have
so much to be happy about?

I see you keep a straight face every day,

look like a poor orphan without parents' love.

My parents died ten years ago.

My adoptive father raised me.

So you're miserable too.

My parents are gone too, then we're even.

Who wants to be even with you?

We're in the same boat now.

Too bad there's no wine.

Or the two of us will have a nice drink.

This glass cup looks quite special.

Could there be any clues?

Mr. Sui, you are smart.

What's that smell?

What is Su Chengxi doing?

Did you roast the duck yesterday?

Yes, look.

Does it look more delicious than last night?

Since you planned to eat it, why did you heal it last night?

Of course, you can't eat a duck with an injury.

This is my sword.

Yes, it's quite handy to roast a duck.

Aren't you afraid there's poison on my sword?

I'm immune to all poisons.

Come and have a taste.

Yesterday you took an arrow for me, today I roasted a duck for you,

so we're even now.

Su Chengxi, don't mess with my sword again.

There's really poison on it.

- Really?
- Scorpion venom.

There are herbs in the yard, I'll go have some.

You lied to me it was poisonous, making me ate a handful of herbs.

Detoxifying herbs clear heat and relieve anger.

It won't do you any harm.

Why did you get cunning and talkative after getting a wound?

Where are you going?

To investigate.

I forgive you.

We've already searched the whole estate and found nothing special.

How did this place turn into a ghost estate?

As far as I know, it was built by a wealthy merchant surnamed Yu.

A few years after it was built,

the wealthy merchant's entire family
of more than 30 members died in the plague.

Slowly, it became a ghost estate.

I'm afraid someone's using the ghost to cover up something dirty.

Good, it intrigues me.

Wait. Bring the painting over.

A little to the left.

It's good to use the refraction of light.

We can have a try.

Not bad, you've improved.

Change to another one.

Got it.

It seems this estate
is really hiding something.

No wonder so many people have lost their lives for this painting.

Hanbai.

Hanbai, I finally found you.

Miss Zuo, why are you here?

I am here to find you
because I'm worried about you.

Where's Zhao Yin?

Last night, both of us were caught.

My father went to a lot of trouble to get us out.

He's too big to lose.

As long as my Hanbai isn't lost.

Hanbai, what are we going to do next?

Miss Zuo, I need you to
fetch me some medicinal materials

and boil a pot of medicine soup.

Medicinal materials?

Are you hurt?

Yes.

What kind of medicinal materials should I get?

Over there, there's ophiuros exaltatus.
The more the better.

Okay, no problem.

Did Miss Zuo always pester with you before?

Not really.

What are you doing?

I'm smelling what's on you

that makes Miss Zuo likes to pester with you and go wherever you go.

Just a noble lady looking for fun.

Alright, let's hurry to the garden.

Over there, let's go.

This is it.

I feel like we're getting closer to the truth.

I'll do it, it's quite dirty.

I don't care about the dirt.

You have a wound. Go away.

Heaven has a path for you, but you look for the hell.

Then don't blame me for being cruel.

I quit.

There's nothing here.

I'll do it.

You found it?

This is out of my expectation. There's not even a mechanism.

T-This is…

The Dusk.

- It's dusk, why don't you go home?
-It's dusk, why don't you go home?

If not for the sake of the emperor,

- who will be wet by night dew?
-If not for the sake of the emperor,

who will be wet by night dew?

It's dusk, why don't you go home?

Child, you must remember

this The Dusk is something very important to our family.

- You have to keep it well as long as you are alive.
- Yes.

Su Chengxi.

Su Chengxi, what's wrong with you?

A few memories came to mind.

What is it?

I should have seen this painting
when I was a child,

but I can't remember it clearly.

Have you lost your memory?

Yes.

I don't remember anything
from when I was little.

- There's a fragrance.
- Be careful.
