Episode 2 recap: Meng Duoci narrowly escaped from the tiger's mouth.
Hua Zhen met the young policeman Chen Hao while rescuing the little girl. Chen Hao was the first person to witness the scene of Mr. Meng's murder. Chen Hao tried hard to find the missing little girl, but to no avail. Later, Chen Hao was shocked and saddened to learn that teacher Deng Mingyuan had been killed. Although he was a policeman by day and an undercover agent by night, he was determined to stand his ground and wait for the new contact.
Hua Zhen settled the little girl in a hotel and asked his brother to investigate Deng Mingyuan's situation. At night, he saw the girl's parents' photo on the bed and felt her suffering, so he covered her with a blanket. The next day, the little girl contacted her classmate to borrow money, hoping to hire Hua Zhen to help her find the murderer. Hua Zhen felt a deep sense of responsibility and decided to stay and help her.
The girl Meng Duoci received Hua Zhen's sympathy and help in her plight. Hua Zhen originally planned to take her to Nanjing, but received a call from his brother, who warned him not to have any contact with people related to the Communist Party, as this was the period of the White Terror. Reluctantly, Hua Zhen settled Meng Duoci in a hotel, ensuring her safety. However, Meng Duoci encountered danger.
The killer came to the hotel with a photo, searching for her, but the clever Meng Duoci quickly hid in another room and escaped unharmed. When Hua Zhen learned about this, he quickly found her and took her to a safe guesthouse. To protect each other, they changed their names - Hua Zhen became Xiang Yuansheng, and Meng Duoci became Qiushi, and they addressed each other as brother and sister.
