Episode 15 recap: A female corpse appeared in the wilderness.
Dou Zi Lin felt extremely guilty, believing that if she could have thought of another way instead of firing that shot, Yang Tianyi might not have died. Liang Dong Ni reassured Dou Zi Lin that it wasn't her fault. They examined the situation and confirmed that it was an accident unrelated to Dou Zi Lin. Liang Dong Ni told Dou Zi Lin to go back and get some rest, assuring her that everything would be better tomorrow.
Xiao Yi came over and said that sleeping wouldn't make things better, but rather worse. He mentioned that since they put on their police uniforms, they should have anticipated such situations. They couldn't avoid them, so they had to slowly come to terms with it and not feel guilty inside. Xiao Yi met with Director Li, who stated that Ma Ye had turned Xia Cheng into a chaotic mess. The mysterious person who had been giving Xiao Yi clues for some reason needed to be investigated thoroughly.
Xiao Yi mentioned that the numbers appearing in these cases happened to be the last three digits of his badge number, suggesting that this person was likely targeting him. After returning home, Xiao Yi found Bai Zhe there and wondered if he was seeking revenge for his father's murder. Bai Zhe was taken aback, and Xiao Yi confirmed his suspicion.
Bai Zhe brought up Xiao Yi's girlfriend, suggesting that she was killed in retaliation by the disciples, and that Xiao Yi couldn't even protect his own girlfriend. Xiao Yi told Bai Zhe to shut up. Bai Zhe left behind some information, stating that if Xiao Yi wanted to investigate the disciples' cases thoroughly, he should start by looking into Xing Dequan's case.
A woman who was washing clothes in the river noticed that the water suddenly turned bloody. Upon investigating, she discovered a corpse in the bridge tunnel and promptly called the police. Yao Shu Bei determined that the victim's head had been struck with a blunt object. The rapid flow of the river accelerated blood loss, leading to the victim's death from hemorrhagic shock.
Liang Dong Ni discovered that the deceased was her friend Wei Lan and became extremely emotional. Wei Lan's husband, Xue Nan, was brought in for questioning. Xue Nan claimed to have been on a business trip for a week. He revealed that they frequently argued after getting married because Wei Lan was too focused on work and neglected their family. They had an argument six days ago, so he hadn't contacted Wei Lan and had no idea what she was up to.
Xiao Yi found Xue Nan highly suspicious. If he had truly come from the airport, the entire route would have been on an elevated highway. So how could he have taken out a lighter to smoke, especially considering that his hair was wet? Would someone wash their hair on the plane? Xiao Yi checked Xue Nan's records and discovered that he had actually returned several days ago, but he stayed in a different hotel.
Xiao Yi had someone investigate and found out that Xue Nan had been involved with someone else outside the marriage, which is why he hadn't come home. Surveillance footage showed that Xue Nan hadn't left the hotel, so he didn't have the opportunity to commit the crime. Yao Shu Bei asked Liang Dong Ni to come and see Wei Lan once again before the autopsy. He mentioned that Liang Dong Ni's good friend had also once laid on the autopsy table. But since they were doing this job, they had to do their best. And if she weren't a police officer, she would still feel sorry for Xue Nan due to Wei Lan's death, which would at least help her know the truth.
Liang Dong Ni approached Zuo Feng for questioning. Zuo Feng stated that Wei Lan was not in charge of the people's livelihood sector and wouldn't have any enemies. Liang Dong Ni expressed that she didn't find it strange that Wei Lan had been absent for so many days. Zuo Feng considered it normal for reporters to go out for interviews and saw nothing unusual about it.
Yao Shu Bei revealed that there was a crumpled paper ball inside Wei Lan's body. Based on the degree of corrosion and its position within the body, it was likely swallowed shortly before death. However, it had already started to corrode, so it would take some time to open it up.
