Episode 7 recap: Lin Huimin is still alive.
Song Shijie and Ling Long arrived at the crime scene and found the room to be tidy, showing no signs of someone trying to escape. Ling Long noticed someone running behind them and quickly stopped them. Song Shijie, who had no martial arts skills, felt that Ling Long was running too fast.Song Shijie chased after the masked black-clothed person and soon realized that it was Dragon Brother. Dragon Brother knew that Song Shijie was playing him and, in a fit of anger, accidentally stepped on a trap. Dragon Brother sought Song Shijie's help and promised to reveal the truth if he helped him.
Dragon Brother brought Song Shijie to the backyard, where Song Shijie confirmed his own truth. Yang Ming, who was in the courtroom and saw Song Shijie's delay, believed that victory was in his hands. However, Song Shijie captured Dragon Brother.
Yang Ming wanted to take the initiative but was rendered speechless by Song Shijie's retort. He Shou Xin couldn't quite grasp Song Shijie's attitude towards the trial. Yang Ming believed that Song Shijie needed evidence instead of empty words. Just then, Song Shijie made a calculation and declared that it was getting dark, informing everyone that a ritual should be held there, clearing the scene.
Song Shijie told He Shou Xin that the crucial witness he had invited was Lin Huimin, the key person in the case. Yang Ming thought Song Shijie's words were absurd. How could a corpse testify? Song Shijie informed everyone that he would bring Lin Huimin to the courtroom as a witness.
Song Shijie quietly performed a spell, and the corpse began to move on its own. Song Shijie asked the corpse if the murderer was present at the scene, and the corpse replied no. Song Shijie then called Tang Wenwu forward to speak with Lin Huimin. Lin Qing cried and called out for her daughter.
Song Shijie informed everyone that the real Lin Huimin wasn't dead. He explained that when he arrived at the crime scene, he indeed found the suicide note written by Lin Huimin. However, there were footprints on the windowsill, indicating that someone had secretly escaped. Song Shijie knew that Lin Huimin wore bound feet, but the size of the corpse's feet didn't match Lin Huimin's, and it had also given birth to a child, which raised suspicions.
Lin Qing was very strict with Lin Huimin and even forced her to go on blind dates. Lin Huimin only loved Tang Wenwu and wanted to be with him, but Tang Wenwu came from a humble background and was prevented by her father. To save Tang Wenwu, Lin Huimin had to deceive her father about being pregnant. Tang Wenwu's mother believed it would be better for Tang Wenwu to give up on Lin Huimin.
Lin Huimin told Tang Wenwu that her father arranged for Tang Wenwu to marry into the official's family and after the child was born, they would drive Tang Wenwu away. Lin Huimin wanted to elope with Tang Wenwu to escape her father's control. Tang Wenwu sought the help of Dragon Brother to find a solution. Dragon Brother proposed finding a substitute corpse to make it appear that Lin Huimin had died.
Dragon Brother found a corpse and disfigured the woman's face, setting up a plan to deceive Lin Qing into believing that her daughter had died. Dragon Brother suggested delaying the time, allowing the body to bloat due to soaking in water, making it difficult for the officials to find it. Song Shijie thought Dragon Brother was loyal. Yang Ming was unsure whose side to take.
Song Shijie understood the circumstances of these three individuals. Lin Lao Ye decided not to pursue the matter further, but Song Shijie believed that Lin Lao Ye was the root cause of the problem. If Lin Lao Ye hadn't tried to force a separation, this couple wouldn't have resorted to such measures. He Shou Xin decided to fight against Lin Lao Ye twenty times, and Tang Wenwu immediately pleaded on behalf of his father-in-law.
Lin Qing was also grateful to Song Shijie for guiding her in the right direction and making her realize the truth. Yang Ming suddenly admired Song Shijie a little. Lin Huimin buried the corpse and wanted to live alone with Tang Wenwu for a while. Song Shijie pretended to have a headache and went to see Nian Shan Shan for treatment, saying that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were unhealthy due to constantly missing someone, and he kept holding Nian Shan Shan's hand.
Ling Long came over and asked Nian Shan Shan to use a long silver needle to treat Song Shijie's illness, and Song Shijie had to endure it. Song Shijie opened a law firm, but the beginning was a bit awkward, and he couldn't retain a single client.
Because of his previous reputation, many people came the next day to ask Song Shijie to solve their cases, but they were all trivial matters. Song Shijie felt that he had no place to display his talents. Xiao Feng shouted not to let others cut in line, but a wealthy person came forward with a large sum of money. Song A Jiu pushed Xiao Feng aside and let the person cut in line directly.
