Episode 14 recap: Chen Shi fell victim to a deadly attack.

After Li Bing returned with the case, he suddenly encountered Shang Guanqin. At this moment, Shang Guanqin directly mentioned his intention to meet him and discuss the details of the case. It turned out that he also planned to involve General Qiu's people in the case. Upon hearing this, Li Bing solemnly informed Shang Guanqin that he had taken over the case from the Ministry of Justice and had no intention of letting anyone else intervene. After listening to the persuasion of those around him, Shang Guanqin decided not to meddle in the matter. Before leaving, he reminded everyone to handle it seriously and give General Qiu's side a warning.

After Shang Guanqin left, A Li Ba Ba continued to fantasize about Shang Guanqin punishing General Qiu. He was delighted, but when he was interrupted by the people around him, Li Bing resumed discussing the progress of the case. Wang Qi stepped forward and suggested mixing in and investigating the situation from the inside. Without hesitation, he applied special makeup to disguise himself and prepare to infiltrate.

After that, Chen Shi realized that he was just being a burden to everyone and decided to take off his official uniform and find the fortune teller to stand near his booth without moving. Seeing his foolish appearance, the fortune teller couldn't help but continue to mock him and asked him to do something. Unexpectedly, Chen Shi soon encountered the person who used to sell water. The person voluntarily mentioned his brother, Chen Jiu, and without hesitation, he asked the people around him to help him go to his brother's residence to investigate.

On the other side, Wang Qi and several brothers from Mingjing Hall disguised themselves and prepared to sneak onto the ship. After entering, Wang Qi deliberately went to the guest inn and loudly asked some questions, attracting the attention of people sitting nearby who secretly followed them to observe the situation. When Shang Guanqin entered the room, he met Li Bing again and mentioned their plan, praising Li Bing's clever idea and bringing up their situation.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Qi and the people around him managed to infiltrate, the criminals suddenly saw through their plan. Even A Li Ba Ba, who was with them, was directly bound and taken onto the ship. Wang Qi was puzzled when he saw their plan exposed and wanted them to reveal the truth, but the leaders of the criminals had no intention of letting them know anything. They started flooding the ship and sealed off the cabin tightly.

When Li Bing and Shang Guanqin saw that someone had tampered with the ship, they immediately ran outside to assess the situation. Wang Qi and the others below the ship were already submerged and struggling for air. Soon, the Jingu Guards arrived at the scene, and General Qiu, seeing the situation, ordered the people nearby to rescue them. This time, he directly faced Li Bing and prepared to take over the case.

After Chen Shi rushed back and Li Bing saw him, Li Bing took the initiative to speak his mind. He still felt a deep connection between them, but regarding Chen Shi's search for his family, he wanted Chen Shi to make a decision. After saying these words, Li Bing left the scene without hesitation. When he returned, Wang Qi voluntarily went to confess, feeling responsible for the failure of their plan.

Afterwards, Chen Shi started packing his things and prepared to leave the Dali Temple. He planned to find his family and use his abilities to pass the exam again. Before leaving, he voluntarily handed over the item he had found to Li Bing. After reading the words on it, Li Bing suddenly realized something and left with the item without hesitation. They went directly to General Qiu and questioned him, and he produced a written confession.

Li Bing also realized that the case had encountered obstacles. He went back to the temple and prepared to start the investigation from scratch, connecting all the clues together. He suddenly remembered what Chen Shi had said and realized that the situation was not good. On the other side, after Chen Shi found the box his brother had given him through the note, he discovered that the person's wallet was exactly the same and decided not to hand over the item. Unexpectedly, the person who had been fetching water suddenly attacked him.
