Episode 9 recap: Gu Xinghe investigates the clues.
Gu Xinghe is teaching Bao Rourou how to write here. He needs to go out and buy something, so he goes out for a moment. Yi Qifeng thinks that Bao Rourou's writing is incorrect. It should clearly be two tails, but she wrote it as two legs. How could a tail turn into a leg? It's not like she's a mermaid. Gu Xinghe comes over and thinks the writing is fine, and it has nothing to do with Yi Qifeng.
Zhao the constable sends a letter saying that a shipworker has died. Gu Xinghe quickly goes to investigate. Bao Rourou accompanies him, and Lu Qing'er initially wanted to go too, but Gu Xinghe promises to give wine to Yi Qifeng, so Yi Qifeng stops Lu Qing'er. Gu Xinghe inspects the scene, and Zhao the constable says that Li Gui had an opportunity, and perhaps it was triggered by drinking alcohol, leading to his death.
Gu Xinghe examines the body and confirms that Li Gui did breathe before he died. Gu Xinghe calls all the shipworkers to inquire. Li Heng says he didn't see anything. Li Gui had a dispute with Feng Youcheng before. Feng Youcheng says he bought the wine and apologized to Li Gui as a gesture of reconciliation. Li Gui wanted him to drink together, but Feng Youcheng declined, which made Li Gui angry, and he slapped Feng Youcheng before leaving.
Yi Qifeng asks Lu Qing'er about the situation between her and Gu Xinghe. Lu Qing'er explains that Gu Xinghe's wife had complications during childbirth, and her family saved Gu Xinghe's wife, which led to their engagement.
