Episode 11 recap: The ghostly figure appeared at the Shanghai Grand Theater.
Yan Jun Jie cooked for the first time and wanted to bring the food to Yan Jun Kang as a final farewell. Yan Jun Kang ignored Yan Jun Jie and stated that these dishes were Yan Jun Jie's favorites, which he had no knowledge of. Yan Jun Jie realized that Yan Jun Kang was not speaking sincerely and that everything he did was for Yan Jun Jie's sake, even until death. Yan Jun Jie voiced Yan Jun Kang's true thoughts, and only then did Yan Jun Kang stop pretending. He simply wanted to tell Yan Jun Jie not to follow in his footsteps and not to make any wrong choices.
Initially, Yan Jun Kang only intended to find a job for Yan Jun Jie, but he never expected to be misled and used by Director Zhang, causing harm to many miners. He deeply regretted his actions and hoped that Yan Jun Jie would become a good person in the future. After expressing this, Yan Jun Kang and Yan Jun Jie ate heartily together, not wanting Yan Jun Jie to worry about him. They hoped that they could be brothers again in their next life.
After finishing the meal, Yan Jun Jie knelt down, bid farewell to Yan Jun Kang, and then hid away to cry bitterly before returning to the Shazhou Police Station to report. Chen Dalu reminded Yan Jun Jie to be cautious when cooperating with the investigation involving the Shazhou Police Station and the Shanghai International Settlement. He advised Yan Jun Jie to be careful with his words and not to let down everything Yan Jun Kang had done for him.
Yan Jun Jie assured Chen Dalu that Yan Jun Kang's efforts would not be in vain, and he would remember Yan Jun Kang's words and strive to become a good person. Gu Yuan, in the police station, was interviewed by reporters. He publicly acknowledged the assistance of Che Su Wei and Yan Jun Jie in solving the case, expressing gratitude for their contributions.
When Yan Jun Jie was publicly praised by Gu Yuan, he revealed that his police identity was obtained through Yan Jun Kang's payment and subsequently resigned from his position. Inspired by Yan Jun Jie's words, Chen Dalu confessed to his own dereliction of duty and went to the train station to arrest Director Zhang, redeeming himself.
While Chen Dalu arrested Director Zhang, Old Tang wanted to clear his name and offered to provide evidence of Director Zhang's crimes to Chen Dalu. At that moment, Liu Fei appeared. Liu Fei stated that Old Tang still had some usefulness to him and persuaded Chen Dalu to let him take Old Tang away, to which Chen Dalu agreed.
There were rumors of ghostly apparitions at the Shanghai Peace Grand Theater. Several people, driven by curiosity, went to the theater to take photos and witness these ghostly sightings. To their surprise, they actually encountered ghostly lights, which frightened them even though they managed to capture them on camera.
The next day, the newspapers were filled with headlines about the midnight horror at the Peace Grand Theater. Chen Fei, the theater manager, invited Gu Yuan and his team to the theater to investigate the ghostly phenomena. Gu Yuan and Che Su Wei went to the theater and discovered traces of phosphorus powder, realizing that it was a publicity stunt orchestrated by the theater. Their intervention inadvertently provided the theater with free publicity.
Although Gu Yuan suspected the theater's malicious publicity stunt, he didn't understand why the upper management of the Public and Board of Directors would get involved and ask him to investigate the haunting. Upon hearing Gu Yuan and his team discuss the theater, Yan Jun Jie revealed what he knew about the theater hosting the Song and Dance Queen competition, indicating that the Public and Board of Directors had an interest in it.
Yan Jun Jie explained that due to a lack of investors, the Song and Dance Queen competition had been repeatedly postponed. The theater's ghostly pranks were also a fabricated story created by the theater to attract investment. Yan Jun Jie described the participants of the competition, and coincidentally, that evening was the celebration banquet for the dark horse twin sisters, Shen Qinghe and Shen Qingru, who were finalists in this year's competition. He wanted to invite Gu Yuan and his team to come and see the situation for themselves.
While Che Su Wei and Ren Meng Yao had no interest in the Song and Dance Queen competition, Gu Yuan believed that it was worth investigating as they might stumble upon unexpected clues. A large crowd gathered at the entrance of the theater, and Yan Jun Jie was on-site trying to handle the situation and prevent chaos. However, a stampede broke out unexpectedly.
Yan Jun Jie became suspicious of Chen Fei, believing that he was plotting something behind the scenes. He also noticed Chen Fei giving money to the victims of the stampede, suspecting that everything was orchestrated by Chen Fei. As a result, Gu Yuan went to the theater once again. Chen Fei denied any involvement in causing the stampede, leaving Gu Yuan with no way to prove otherwise. Meanwhile, Xiang Li personally called Gu Yuan, instructing him to take responsibility for the security of the competition.
The theater began rehearsals, but Shen Qingru had too many social engagements and had no time to practice, making it impossible for her to complete the dance choreographed by Shen Qinghe. Shen Qinghe wanted to rehearse with Shen Qingru once more, but Duan Xiuchan, who had the best chance of winning, suddenly appeared and taunted the twin sisters, leading to an unpleasant altercation.
