Episode 15 recap: Song Ci decided to dissect the body to find clues.
After entering, Mrs. Yin said she knew nothing just like them. Song Ci stated that she would only ask three questions: whether she believed in ghostly murder, to which Mrs. Yin replied that she never believed in such things. Song Ci then asked for her opinion on Yin Qiao's father, and Mrs. Yin gave a biased response. Song Ci also inquired about the secrets hidden in Nanzhuang. Mrs. Yin revealed that there was another brother living in Nanzhuang. With these pieces of information, Song Ci had a clearer picture of the entire case. She then informed everyone that she knew who the murderer was, and it was the Taoist priest. The white fox was intentionally placed in the courtyard to make the situation more mysterious. However, there were still some unanswered questions for Song Ci, which required further investigation. She planned to go to Nanzhuang for that purpose.
Bai Xue Yan also found the herbal medicine shop in Huling Town and obtained the answers he was looking for. As he was leaving, he happened to meet Shen Xi Yue, who had bought a lot of rouge to give as gifts. When they returned, Shen Xi Yue gave the rouge to Bai Xue Yan and Yin Qiao, who received it for the first time.
At that moment, Yin Xin was secretly observing them. Shen Xi Yue took the initiative to give the rouge to Yin Xin, who quickly ran away with it. Song Ci and Zhao Xiao Liu went to investigate the situation with Chen Yi. Currently, apart from the deaths of two thieves, there were no abnormal circumstances in Nanzhuang. Just then, Song Ci received an urgent message from Yin Qiao, informing her that the Taoist priest had arrived. However, to their surprise, it was a corpse that had arrived, and the cause of death was identical to Lai Fu's.
Clearly, someone had deliberately set up this situation. Song Ci informed Yin Qiao's father that she intended to dissect the body as it was the only way to get closer to the truth.
But dissecting the body was considered taboo for them, and even most morticians dared not do such a thing. However, Song Ci believed that the truth could only be known through the dissection of the body.
Afterward, Song Ci returned to her room and started practicing how to perform the dissection. Bai Xue Yan was actually worried about Song Ci, but she was not afraid and had confidence in finding the answers. Song Ci was also concerned that if she couldn't find the cause of death, the whole estate would be filled with fear and panic. Therefore, she needed Bai Xue Yan's help this time.
Based on the information and evidence Song Ci had gathered during this period, there were still many confusing areas, but the most important thing was how to connect them all together. Li Zi Fang first mentioned that the murderer was gradually attacking people's hearts, and the only breakthrough was that the Taoist priest had also died.
Li Zi Fang began to recall all the details when the Taoist priest was present. Initially, Yin Qiao's father didn't quite believe what the Taoist priest said until he mentioned a so-called enemy, which greatly agitated Yin Qiao's father. It's highly likely that this matter was related to a person named Ye Zhiyuan. Song Ci deliberately wanted to open up the body to expose the culprit's true colors.
Bai Xue Yan also asked his sister to investigate this person named Ye Zhiyuan. Ye Zhiyuan's family was annihilated in the past, and the whole tribe had migrated north. The massacre in Beitin involved more than just the Ye family; they were just one of the victims. That's why Shen Xi Yue was somewhat familiar with the name Ye Zhiyuan.
Bai Xue Yan's sister reminded Shen Xi Yue not to forget the fate of their family, which was more important than so-called friends. Soon, Song Ci was about to perform the official autopsy and asked everyone except Zhao Xiao Liu to leave. Zhao Xiao Liu was very scared.
After entering, Zhao Xiao Liu kept vomiting, and when Song Ci saw the body, she simply said it was too strange.
