Episode 16 recap: The police discovered the magician's secret.
Yu Ba, the youngest among his siblings, was never taken seriously and even his name was chosen randomly. He was a police officer, but despite working as a policeman for ten years after graduating, he had achieved nothing. A year ago, Yu Ba was just a mediocre police officer at the police station, spending his free time gambling with his colleagues. His master, Lao Zhao, had also been working at the police station for over ten years. Although he hadn't been promoted, he still maintained his enthusiasm for the job.
One day, Yu Ba was urgently called to the crime scene, which happened to be the third murder case involving a clown. This weighed heavily on Lao Zhao's heart, but Yu Ba didn't take it seriously. When Yu Ba saw the clown face drawn on the victim, he was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground. He didn't care about the matter at all, while Lao Zhao, analyzing the case with Yu Ba, gave him some money to buy winter clothes and thick socks for his mother.
Grateful for Lao Zhao's kindness, Yu Ba wanted to be a serious police officer for a while, at least to help Lao Zhao in the clown murder case. However, he didn't expect Lao Zhao to become the next victim. When Yu Ba saw the crime scene where Lao Zhao was killed, he was extremely shocked. The pain in his heart made him silently swear that he would find the true culprit, the magician behind the clown murder case.
Using the clues left by Lao Zhao, Yu Ba inquired from various sources and finally identified the magician's next target, Song Bo. Since Song Bo boarded the "Paradise" cruise ship, Yu Ba had to get on board as well. When Yu Ba went to buy a ticket, he was told that all tickets were sold out. He became angry and showed his police identification, but to his surprise, the magician had already left him a ticket, which made him feel even more provoked.
Unable to find the magician, Yu Ba could only keep a close eye on Song Bo. He had planned to subdue and guard Song Bo after boarding the ship, but an accident occurred, and Song Bo ended up dead. Although Song Bo was dead, the film roll hadn't been taken by the magician yet. Yu Ba wanted to obtain the film roll to lure the magician out, but once again, an unexpected incident happened. In the midst of Yu Ba's repeated failures and frustrations, he discovered the magician's secret. However, when he learned about this secret, the magician appeared and tried to kill him. Yu Ba was brutally stabbed by the magician.
