Episode 27 recap: Shangguan Qin discovered her father's secret.
To her surprise, Shangguan Qin's father arrived at the scene in a domineering manner. As he approached to question everyone, he directly instructed his daughter, who was standing nearby, not to interfere. Li Bing, upon hearing this, realized that the father had no intention of letting Shangguan Qin investigate the case. Li Bing also understood the father's heartfelt intentions and agreed to let the others leave. They watched as Shangguan Qin and her father left the scene.
After returning home with her father, Shangguan Qin was deeply dissatisfied. She didn't expect her father to know how difficult the case was and had no intention of letting her continue her work at the Judicial Office. He even instructed the servants to confine his daughter. Once everyone left, Li Bing and his subordinates continued their investigation. They searched through everything and prepared to follow their leads. When daylight broke, they regrouped and continued their pursuit. In this situation, Li Bing caught a whiff of lotus fragrance and pushed open the door to investigate. They arrived at the lotus pond and unexpectedly encountered someone. They rescued the person and were about to continue questioning them when suddenly, the person pulled out a knife and prepared to attack Li Bing. Li Bing felt helpless, thinking he had no chance of survival. However, as the person continued speaking, they suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, dead. Everyone noticed a yellow pill around the person's waist. After crushing it, they found a note inside. They resumed their search for the people mentioned in the note, hoping to prevent them from falling victim to harm. However, when they arrived, they could only watch helplessly as the killer cruelly murdered the person and fled.
Later, Chen Shi hurriedly arrived with some items and joined everyone in tracking down the killer. He quickly realized that the fortune teller was nowhere to be found. Li Bing rushed to find someone, and in the room, they discovered Mr. Yuan's lifeless body. Everyone became grief-stricken, especially Chen Shi, who had once received kindness from the fortune teller. He felt guilty and decided to send the body back without letting the young girl nearby know what had happened.
When Cui Bei arrived, he saw the fortune teller and revealed that he had previously taken the judicial examination. Since he didn't pass, he resorted to fortune-telling. Upon hearing this, Chen Shi suddenly remembered the fortune teller's past assistance and couldn't contain his emotions. After regaining composure, Li Bing prepared to use the clues left behind by the fortune teller to confront the person responsible for his father's murder.
Later, they had Wang Qi dress up as a young girl to continue luring the killer out. However, they waited for half a day without seeing any sign of the person. Sun Bao then rushed into the room and informed everyone about Chen Shi's disappearance. Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly ran out of the room. Once inside, Li Bing followed the clues provided by the young girl and continued to contemplate the problem. He then dismissed everyone and prepared to confront Hei Luosha alone.
After Shangguan Qin was confined by her father, she wandered alone in the courtyard. Unexpectedly, when she arrived in a room, she overheard her father's conversation and learned about his connection with Hei Luosha. When her father arrived, he also became aware of her situation. She explained her predicament and feared that others might leak the information, so her father locked her in the room again.
After Cui Bei settled the young girl, he went to join the others to retrieve information about Hei Luosha. However, when they opened the box, they discovered it was empty. At that moment, they realized that Li Bing intentionally kept them behind to send one person on a risky mission. After leaving, they received a secret signal from Shangguan Qin and prepared to assist in the investigation together.
Later, A Li Ba Ba, wearing a mask, entered the Shangguan residence and took Hu Si hostage, demanding that he hand over the map. However, the people nearby quickly recognized his identity.
