Episode 24 recap: Li Bing quietly left the capital city.

Li Bing left quietly on his own. After returning, he closed the doors and windows tightly. However, the weather outside is still very bad, with pouring rain continuing. His father was alone in the room, searching for the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Accidentally, he dropped something on the ground out of fear. Then Cui Bei, who was nearby, walked over and asked him what he was doing. But at this moment, the person stuttered while speaking. Just as Sun Bao and Wang Qi walked over one after another, the people around started questioning why they were missing. Suddenly, they were confronted with inquiries. It turned out that everyone was privately busy with their own affairs but hadn't mentioned it.

After Li Bing returned to the room, he saw Chen Shi coming to find him. He calmly approached the table, placed the medicine on it, and began murmuring. He said that all the cases were like being led by someone by the nose. As the middleman, Yi Zhi Hua deliberately hid behind, waiting for someone to uncover the truth. Thinking about all the clues, Li Bing suddenly furrowed his brows and his eyes turned sharp, which frightened the people around him. However, Chen Shi, who remained calm this time, was determined to wholeheartedly help him. When he heard that Li Bing intended to discuss this strange matter with the members of Mingjing Tang, Chen Shi was the first to stand up and disagree. He planned to solve it privately.

Unexpectedly, at dawn, the Dali Temple suddenly received a new case. The deceased was the strong man whom Li Bing had bought meat from before. However, upon seeing this case, Li Bing started to have a headache again and didn't even hear what others were saying. When the people from the Jinwu Guard arrived, Li Bing decisively handed over the case to them for handling. Soon after, he set off again, preparing to pack and go to mourn his deceased father.

Chen Shi, who was tidying up clothes for Shaoqing in the room, still didn't understand why the person beside him wanted to go and mourn his father. But for Li Bing, it was just an excuse. He planned to take this opportunity to leave the city and thoroughly investigate this case. He deliberately avoided involving the other people from the Dali Temple, not wanting them to know his affairs or participate in them.

Finally, the two of them sat in the carriage and left the city. After continuing on the road for a while, Chen Shi stopped the carriage and continued to feed the horses grass on the side. They got off the carriage and began discussing past events near the nearby river. Chen Shi happily expressed his intention to find his brother and participate in the examination at the Dali Temple together. Upon hearing these words, the person beside him felt somewhat helpless. Unexpectedly, they suddenly heard someone approaching, so Li Bing immediately prepared to continue rushing forward with the person beside him.

To the surprise of Li Bing, he continued to rush forward with the person beside him and arrived at a desolate inn. After opening the door, he discovered a skeleton on the ground, filling his heart with confusion. Unexpectedly, when he approached a well, a person suddenly emerged from it, steadily advancing with a weapon in hand. Li Bing desperately fought back, but as he was being ambushed by the person beside him, Chen Shi stepped forward without hesitation and stood in front of Shaoqing. The man in black unexpectedly stopped and left on his own after seeing Chen Shi.

Meanwhile, several members of Mingjing Tang continued to discuss the case and felt that Shaoqing intentionally concealed information from them. After being guided step by step by Cui Bei, they began to realize that all the cases were interconnected, possibly related to what happened three years ago. They planned to work together to solve the case.

After Li Bing came out of the house, he still couldn't understand why the man in black didn't obtain any clues but left on his own. However, in this situation, he couldn't afford to think too much and decided to find the ship. The members of Mingjing Tang continued to gather and discuss the case, without intending to reveal anything to others. When Shangguan Qin came over, Wang Qi directly used A Li Ba Ba as an excuse to dismiss him. It turned out that Shangguan Qin intended to take him to a brothel for a visit. As they sat down, a woman inside suddenly mentioned that she saw a strange pigeon at the window.
