Episode 13 recap: Li Bing continued to investigate the case.
After seeing the body in front of him, Li Bing felt very strange. The person guiding him directly told him that the body was found in the temple. It turned out that a few people had come here to worship the gods before, but suddenly discovered that the statue inside the temple was bleeding. They were shocked and frightened, and some ship captains ran out and reported this bad news to the yamen, and that's when they discovered the hidden body inside.
After listening to what they said, Li Bing continued to stare at the statue for a long time. In his opinion, this dilapidated temple didn't usually have many visitors, but recently many people had come to worship due to the recent situation. When the people from the Ministry of Justice mentioned the details of the case, they also brought up the involvement of the Jinwu Guard and felt that they had a broad jurisdiction. At this point, they were ready to join forces with the magistrate in front of them to confront General Qiu. Before Li Bing could say anything, the people from the Ministry of Justice were already preparing to hand over the case to him to take charge.
After the people left, several people from the Mingjing Hall stayed behind and began discussing the details of the case. A Li Ba Ba, who was standing next to them, continued to describe the plot from the picture books he had seen before. However, when they heard what he said, they felt that it was completely different. Wang Qi, who was standing beside them, continued to analyze the entire incident and believed that the victim had clashed with someone on the other side and was then targeted. After killing the person, the perpetrator was very familiar with the layout of the warehouse, which is why they hid the body behind the statue.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shi quickly discovered that the Dragon King might have something in his hands. Upon hearing this clue, Li Bing suddenly noticed that the wooden board had fallen to the ground and ended up back in his hands. Looking at everything around him, he began to suspect that there had been burglars here, and their belongings were also valuable. Although they started to suspect Liu Fu's motives, they still didn't have concrete evidence and were planning to continue searching the wharf.
Li Bing looked at the people beside him and was planning to ask them to stay with him to do the work. However, just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly smelled the scent of alcohol on the ground and decided to continue investigating the nearby places that were closely related.
When Wang Qi went to the ship on the other side to inquire about the situation with the others, he was surprised that nobody took him seriously. Seeing that they completely disregarded his identity, Wang Qi became quite angry. However, he suddenly noticed a strange person nearby and decided to go over and investigate.
On the other hand, Li Bing continued to take the people with him and went to a tavern to inquire about the situation. At that moment, he noticed a beggar in the shop who was being stopped by the waiter due to money issues. After the beggar left, Li Bing followed him to gather information about the thief. The beggar, still holding the money, revealed some astonishing clues to him. While observing his surroundings, Li Bing suddenly noticed someone trailing him. He exerted all his strength and chased after the person, but unfortunately, he couldn't catch them. However, General Qiu, accompanied by the Jinwu Guard, arrived at the scene to participate in the matter.
Afterward, in order to further investigate the case, Li Bing went alone to a brothel to find the injured oiran (courtesan) and asked her about the culprit. Upon realizing that she wasn't willing to disclose certain information, he offered to help her find what she was looking for, with the condition of wanting to know about the Ikebana club.
Meanwhile, Chen Shi finished putting away his belongings and went to the fortune teller's place again to inquire about his brother's whereabouts. Upon learning the information, he became excited and asked Li Bing to take a look at the items he had. Unexpectedly, the old scavenger suddenly fell victim to foul play. Li Bing intended to continue searching within the scavenger's range.
