Episode 3 recap: Wu Xu found Chu Qi.
Chu Qi discovered that another person had died here, the owner of the paper shop. He was wearing festive attire and was found dead in a sedan chair, with gold and jade stuffed in his mouth. Chu Qi presented Wu Xu's identification and claimed to be conducting an investigation. There was only one carriage willing to go to Fengming Town, so Wu Xu and Gu Yu Sheng had to take it.
Wu Xu said they should go left, but Gu Yu Sheng insisted that according to the map he had bought, they should go right. They ended up going right. Wu Xu encountered Chu Qi and demanded that she return his belongings. Chu Qi indicated that it was not a suitable place to talk, so Wu Xu detained her and took her to the mayor's office.
Wu Xu inspected the area and sealed off the gaps, discovering someone spying on them. Chu Qi explained that she was searching for her sister, who she got separated from when they were young. Shi San, who took care of Chu Qi in the orphanage, gave her that name. However, her sister had disappeared. Wu Xu informed Chu Qi that Wang Wu was already dead, and she was still a suspect. Chu Qi claimed that she was with Gu Yu Sheng on the night in question.
Gu Yu Sheng believed that he and Chu Qi were childhood sweethearts and should be together. Chu Qi pretended to agree that night but ended up tying Gu Yu Sheng up and running away. Chu Qi realized she couldn't escape now and decided to investigate the situation thoroughly before deciding what to do. She informed Wu Xu about the deceased paper shop owner's condition and how she found gold inside a steamed bun.
