Episode 9 recap: Hu Xiaodie and Hua Sheng are deeply connected to each other.
After exchanging greetings, Hu Xiaodie and Hua Sheng entered the room to search for the love letter that Liu Feifan had written to her. Hua Sheng mentioned that he had recited those words himself and suggested that if they were considered physical evidence, they should be handed over to the police station directly. Hua Sheng speculated that perhaps she had kept those letters because she still had lingering feelings for him, but Hu Xiaodie immediately tore them up, stating that she was getting rid of them.
Hu Xiaodie questioned why Liu Feifan had not been arrested yet, and Hua Sheng explained that they still lacked crucial clues, so they couldn't easily provoke the Liu Mansion. They then analyzed the circumstances surrounding Wang Lili's death. When Hu Xiaodie realized that no shoelace was found in the room, she immediately suspected that it could have been left behind by the murderer. Hua Sheng asked her to carefully recall if there was any overlooked detail. Hu Xiaodie mentioned that her figure was indeed better than hers, and she also mentioned tying a ribbon on her hand. Hua Sheng inquired if she found it strange, and Hu Xiaodie replied that it was exactly the same as how Tian Ma handled things.
Hu Xiaodie deduced that the culprit must be someone familiar to Wang Lili, one of the suspects they were investigating. They analyzed each person one by one, and she believed that Liu Feifan was the most likely suspect, especially since Tian Ma mentioned that he might have seen Wang Lili. However, Hua Sheng reminded her that these were all speculations, and it was still unclear who had come for the appointment that day.
Zhou Shihao found Hua Sheng and expressed sympathy for the suffering Hu Lingling endured in the past. Hua Sheng apologized for the incident regarding his job and admitted that they needed to investigate things thoroughly. When Hu Xiaodie saw Hua Sheng returning late, she immediately remarked that he was quite capable. Hua Sheng acknowledged that he had a bad tone in the afternoon, and Hu Xiaodie admitted her own mistakes. They started apologizing and comforting each other. Hua Sheng assured her that he would not leave her, and Hu Xiaodie asked for her help in writing a eulogy for Wang Lili's memorial service.
