Episode 10 recap: Pan Yue's investigation was obstructed.
Yang Cai Wei asked Zhuo Lanjiang why she had concealed her involvement with a gangster for three years. Zhuo Lanjiang felt somewhat helpless. Three years ago, when her father was ambushed, she had to rush back and take over the Silver Rain Tower. In order to protect the Silver Rain Tower, she became a ruthless and cold-hearted young master. It was not until she was injured and met Yang Cai Wei that she was saved. Although Yang Cai Wei mistook Zhuo Lanjiang for a brawling gangster, they became close friends who could confide in each other without reservation. Yang Cai Wei was his most important friend.
Zhuo Lanjiang and Yang Cai Wei went to find the deceased's daughter, but the head of the Yin Yu Street had already cleared out the people and welcomed them with a group of followers. They even referred to Yang Cai Wei as the lady of the Silver Rain Tower. Master Zhao, the head, knew that Zhuo Lanjiang was coming to investigate the case, so he had rounded up all the street vendors and arrested them. Zhuo Lanjiang was speechless and quickly asked him to release the people.
Yang Cai Wei found the three sisters who sold iced drinks, accompanied by a timid younger sister. Yang Cai Wei wanted to ask about the murder of Qiang Shu and hoped that she could recall the details at that time, but the third sister said there was nothing unusual. When asked about Qiang Shu's body, the third sister said there was no body at all. Some animal bodies appeared in front of his father's grave, with wounds identical to Qiang Shu's. The third sister reported this to the county government, but they completely ignored it and later ordered someone to dig up the body for sacrifice.
At the same time, Pan Yue was also investigating the case. He found Tian Hua's former colleagues and his lover, and learned that Tian Hua had a hot temper and was not kind-hearted. So when he died, everyone felt it was retribution. Strange occurrences often have hidden causes, which puzzled both Yang Cai Wei and Zhuo Lanjiang. Bai Xiao Sheng suddenly approached Yang Cai Wei and they went to have a drink together.
Pan Yue went to the scene of the murder, which was very remote, and the deceased would never come here. At that moment, a monster suddenly appeared in the river, causing the people on the boat to panic and shout. Pan Yue tried to chase after the monster but without success. Bai Xiao Sheng felt that Zhuo Lanjiang was not a good person and warned Yang Cai Wei to be careful of him. When night fell and Yang Cai Wei hadn't returned, Pan Yue became somewhat unhappy, but he didn't send anyone to look for her. However, he couldn't resist the urge to go and find her.
A Ze told Pan Yue that after nightfall, Yang Cai Wei went to the riverside, and shortly after, a body was found there, with the exact same cause of death as the Lantern Festival case.
Pan Yue hurriedly went to find Yang Cai Wei, but he saw her and Zhuo Lanjiang coming back laughing and joking. Pan Yue's face turned extremely unpleasant. Ling Er specifically told Yang Cai Wei that Pan Yue had wanted to gather everyone to look for her, but his shoulder injury had worsened because of her. The incident with the Evil Dragon had spread again in the neighborhood. Yang Cai Wei noticed that Pan Yue's shoulder injury had worsened and quickly took the pen and paper to help him with writing.
The people were worried that Pan Yue's investigation would anger the Evil Dragon, so they came running and begging him not to continue the investigation. The autopsy results from Chen San were unreliable. After Yang Cai Wei looked at them, she concluded that the body had been forged. It seemed that someone couldn't tolerate it anymore. People in the county government were also afraid of the Evil Dragon and started praying to the gods and Buddha. They even pleaded with Pan Yue to stop the investigation. Pan Yue pretended to be mysterious and said he would let fate decide.
Pan Yue asked Yang Cai Wei to bring a hundred copper coins. If all the coins landed face up, they would continue with the case. Yang Cai Wei scattered the coins and found that they all landed face up. It was the will of heaven. Everyone speculated about the motive of the killer, perhaps the summer solstice had a special significance for the culprit.
A Ze helped Ling Er in the kitchen. There were many people to feed today, so they were both busy. Ling Er's gaze toward A Ze was somewhat different from before. During the meal, Yang Cai Wei noticed that Pan Yue couldn't reach the dishes because of his shoulder injury, so she picked up a lot of food and fed him. Everyone felt that something had changed between the two of them.
