Episode 16 recap: Shen Xi Yue uncovered the events of many years.
Song Ci still found it very strange that after the autopsy, there was no trace of poisoning inside the victim's body. Now she could only speculate that the killer had used anesthesia to render the victim unconscious. Song Ci began to guess what the killer's next steps would be. Perhaps they used a burnt wooden stick and inserted it into the victim's anus, indicating that the killer's methods were extremely cruel.
Song Ci informed everyone about the situation, but no one expected such a cause of death. Just then, Yin Qiao brought in the meal, and today's dishes were all internal organs. Song Ci and Zhao Xiao Liu couldn't help but vomit upon seeing them. Zhao Xiao Liu had been vomiting all day and couldn't eat anything, as the killer's method of murder was truly disturbing.
Bai Xue Yan made a bowl of porridge for Zhao Xiao Liu, who drank it immediately upon learning that Bai Xue Yan had personally made it. Bai Xue Yan came to find Zhao Xiao Liu and asked her to spread rumors about Ye Zhiyuan while intentionally walking past Yin Qiao. In fact, all of this was Shen Xi Yue's idea, in order to quickly lure out the killer.
Sure enough, Bai Xue Yan and Shen Xi Yue intentionally approached, successfully luring out the killer. The person in black followed and a fight broke out between them. Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the person in black tried to leave but was stopped by Zhao Xiao Liu's subordinate. However, Zhao Xiao Liu's subordinate also got injured with a hammer. Shen Xi Yue told the subordinate not to chase and she already knew who the killer was.
Afterward, Shen Xi Yue returned and informed everyone of the situation, mentioning Ye Zhiyuan's matter as well. Shen Xi Yue explained the cause of the incident and revealed that she knew the person in black was Yin Xin. Everyone present was surprised, and Yin Qiao's father was hesitant in his response.
The reason was that Shen Xi Yue noticed the smell of face powder on the person in black, which was the same fragrance she had given to Yin Xin. Hence, it could be concluded that the person in black was Yin Xin. Yin Qiao's father had nothing to say and could only ask everyone to go to Nanzhuang first. However, upon entering, they discovered that Yin Maochun had hanged himself. Song Ci quickly examined the room, which had become a locked room again. However, Yin Qiao's father believed that his brother was not a suicide, so he asked Chen Yi to take the body to a side hall.
No one present had expected Yin Maochun's suicide. Song Ci stayed alone in Yin Maochun's room and stood on the chair once again, trying to find any flaws in Yin Maochun's suicide.
At first, Yin Qiao thought Song Ci was attempting suicide and rushed over to stop her. However, Song Ci already knew the reason behind Yin Maochun's death.
Zhao Xiao Liu and the others also discovered a locked area in the backyard. Shen Xi Yue remembered that Chen Yi had mentioned two subordinates who had been scared to death, so she decided to go in and take a look. Zhao Xiao Liu was very afraid, but Shen Xi Yue still intended to go inside. Later, the owner of the estate also arrived and informed everyone about what had happened.
In front of Yin Maochun's memorial hall, Song Ci told everyone that he was not a suicide but a murder victim. Yin Maochun had been strangled from behind with a rope, and he was choked to death. Then, Song Ci asked for a hammer to conduct an experiment. Although it was now confirmed that Yin Maochun had been murdered, when everyone entered the room, it was a locked room. Initially, everyone was puzzled, but Song Ci explained the reasons.
It seems that someone has started targeting the Yin family. Li Zi Fang reminded Yin Qiao to be careful and watch out for anyone who might have murderous intentions towards her. Shen Xi Yue called Song Ci alone into a room and told her about the relevant information regarding Ye Zhiyuan and the head of the Yin family. At that time, both the Ye and Yin families were fleeing, but the Ye family was completely wiped out, while everyone from the Yin family survived. Although there weren't many clues, it could be speculated that this incident was related to the Yin family.
The true goal of the killer should be to seek revenge for the Ye family. Bai Xue Yan brought soup and tea for Song Ci, but upon seeing Shen Xi Yue inside, Song Ci also wanted Shen Xi Yue to accompany her to the underground to see the so-called remains. Yin Qiao needed to be informed about this as well. Bai Xue Yan originally wanted to go with them, but Song Ci directly refused, citing that Bai Xue Yan had no martial arts skills, which left Bai Xue Yan feeling a bit disappointed.
This time, Commander Lang Zhengcai and his soldiers had already arrived at Fox Demon Ridge to prepare for a garrison. Their goal this time was to exterminate bandits. Lang Zhengcai brought his wife along and mentioned that after reaching their destination, they would enjoy themselves in the city. Soon, Zhao Xiao Liu also learned about Lang Zhengcai's arrival, realizing that he had secretly come despite being ill. It can be said that his motives were far from pure.
