Episode 24 recap: Watson decides to stay and accompany Hu Xiaodie.
Manager Wu, while in prison, shouts that he will expose the mastermind behind Zhou Lingling's kidnapping case. Initially, the prison guards ignore him, but due to his continuous shouting, Watson and Hu Xiaodie are brought in. He reveals that Zhou Lingling's kidnapping was not about money, but because Zhou Shihao had leverage over that person. Just as he was about to reveal the mastermind, he collapses and, upon examination, is found to have died from poisoning.
Watson informs Hu Xiaodie that he needs to visit Zhou Lingling, so he won't be able to accompany her to the set. Hu Xiaodie, upon learning from an assistant that Watson doesn't want to stay here, immediately rushes out after him. San Ye finds Watson and asks why he hasn't returned the remaining half of the account book now that the case has been solved. Watson assures him that he will return it but questions the nature of his relationship with Bai Langning. San Ye explains that in this world, people must choose between the underworld and the righteous path.
Watson tells San Ye that he has hidden the account book in a secret compartment at Wang Lili's house. San Ye comments on Watson's impressive hiding skills. Hu Xiaodie, unable to catch up with Watson, returns home and bursts into tears. Just when she thought Watson had left, he suddenly appears, greatly touching Hu Xiaodie. Watson assures her that he will never leave her and reveals that he went out to scatter Lingling's ashes.
Upon hearing that Watson wants to open a detective agency, Hu Xiaodie immediately expresses her desire to quit acting and join him. Watson reminds her that they are just apprentice detectives, and no one would entrust them with cases. At that moment, a voice appears, stating that they have a case that interests them. When the person takes off their hat, Watson realizes that it is Mr. Gao.
