Episode 22 recap: Li Bing continued to investigate the case.
At this moment, while everyone was gathered around preparing to continue buying salt, the owner of the shop had no intention of doing business anymore. They directly drove everyone away. When they saw the people from the Dali Temple rushing over, they warmly welcomed them into their home to discuss the case. After entering, Li Bing stood in front, observing everything thoughtfully. He examined the body, inspected the wounds on the hands, and began to suspect that the case was related to a person. He also believed that the perpetrator had entered from outside the window. Just as he mentioned this, several people hurriedly arrived at the back door and noticed the bloodstains on the ground.
At this time, A Li Ba Ba suddenly heard a nursery rhyme story being told by a child nearby. He felt that the contents of the story were similar to the unsolved case. Feeling somewhat afraid, he told the people around him about the possible events that could unfold inside. Wang Qi, who was standing nearby, heard his companion speak such ominous words and advised him not to tell Zhao Qing about this matter, dismissing it as baseless worry.
Afterwards, Shao Qing stayed with the person examining the body and watched the deceased in front of them. They discovered that the person was a tailor and then prepared to take some floral scent and continue investigating the surroundings. Unexpectedly, another murder suddenly occurred, and the victim was also a woman. Even the wounds on her hands were identical to the previous case. After observing these circumstances, Li Bing decided to merge the two cases and continue the investigation.
Afterwards, they began inquiring about the situation surrounding the deceased, but the people around had no clear understanding. When Li Bing and his companion arrived at the tailor shop, he noticed that the needle and thread were in a state of haste, indicating a hurried departure. They quickly focused their attention on the clothes placed in the nearby wardrobe and prepared to inquire further about any connections between the deceased and the people in the vicinity.
Unexpectedly, later on, everyone suddenly apprehended a suspect and believed that he had killed the deceased. The stout person standing in front was pushed aside, and others nearby claimed that it was impossible for him to kill his own mother. Upon seeing these things, Li Bing quickly deduced that the suspect had no motive for murder and successfully released him. He continued running to the kitchen to find someone and learned through conversation that Zhao Da-niang (the deceased) had borrowed money for her son. However, the money earned by the suspect was not enough to repay the debt. They also began to suspect that the deceased had acquired money through other means.
While continuing to visit other neighbors, they learned from a woman that the deceased was involved in human trafficking. They immediately rushed into the room to search for important items. After examining the account book, Li Bing fell into contemplation. Cui Bei connected this case with a previous one, believing that there must be some connection between them. They hurriedly ran to the abandoned houses to investigate further. After finding the little girl inside, Li Bing continued to question her and learned about their selling incident. At that moment, the others nearby suddenly reported encountering the four individuals, prompting them to rush to the scene for investigation.
Upon discovering numerous bodies unearthed in the vicinity, they also realized that their cause of death resembled that of Wang Po-zi. Just as they were preparing to leave, Wang Qi suddenly noticed a discarded shoe on the ground and found cat hair inside. Upon hearing this, Li Bing quickly turned to examine the situation. Through inquiries, they learned that the shoe belonged to Sun Xiao-ying. They then had Xiao Liu use his sense of smell to determine which brothel was involved in trafficking women. Once he successfully detected the scent, they immediately identified the target. Subsequently, Li Bing, accompanied by Wang Qi disguised as a woman, confidently entered the establishment to conduct business. Observing their audacity, the people nearby became somewhat embarrassed.
