Episode 3 recap: A shooting incident occurred at the hideout of the murderer.

Xia Zai accidentally entered Rong Ji's roast goose shop and unexpectedly discovered that the murderer was the shop's chef. Similarly, the fatty suddenly remembered meeting Xia Zai and immediately chased after him, scaring him into a wild chase. Xia Zai finally hid behind a curtain and saved his life. After the fatty left, Xia Zai dared to come out and made a mark on the wall across from Liu Ji's restaurant to facilitate contact.

The boss saw Xia Zai drinking the leftover noodle soup from customers, so he brought him a tray of buns and served him congee. The fatty's identity was exposed and known to Dang Xun Qi, who angrily accused him of being careless, warning that if the enemy did not die, he would.

Zhou Yaming found Xia Zai through the mark and learned from him that the murderer was in the roast goose shop. Coincidentally, Su Xing and others also arrived. Zhou Yaming believed the murderer had discovered Xia Zai and would likely try to escape, so urgent action was needed to catch the fatty. At the same time, Dang Xun Qi called a female sniper to eliminate the communists who were pursuing the fatty.

The fatty dismissed the employees and was about to leave with the money when Su Xing and Wang Dalang came in from outside, and the three immediately engaged in a brawl. A gunshot from the female sniper scared away the nearby civilians, allowing the fatty to escape in the chaos. Since the female sniper was still in position, especially at a higher vantage point, Su Xing and Wang Dalang could not expose themselves too much.

The two cooperated, with one distracting the female sniper's attention and the other locating her position. But when Wang Dalang went to find her, the female sniper had already disappeared. Li Wenbo and others went to the deep well area to investigate the shooting incident, briefly questioning the eyewitnesses, and eventually traced it to the fatty's roast goose shop.

Cha Liangjie found the bullet casings nearby, and Li Wenbo took a quick look before immediately issuing an order to put the fatty on the wanted list. Su Xing wanted to openly reveal his identity to Tong Jiangnan, but was opposed by Zhou Yaming, who believed that going to see Tong Jiangnan at that time would draw the Kuomintang's attention and be detrimental to their upcoming actions.

Ultimately, Su Xing still went to the Tong family disguised as a postman again - both to inform Tong Jiangnan of the clues he had found about the murderer, and to try to prove his own identity. But Tong Jiangnan remained indifferent, and Su Xing expressed that his feelings for Professor Tong and Tong Sheng had never changed.

Abiao became suspicious of Su Xing and quickly reported the situation to the leader, tailing him on a motorcycle. But he was knocked out by Wang Dalang at a street corner. At the liaison station, Su Xing, Wang Dalang, and Zhou Yaming analyzed the reasons for the special agent's murder of Tu Zhe, as well as their next steps. Cha Liangjie couldn't understand why Li Wenbo didn't order the arrest of the person who killed the fatty, and Li Wenbo asked him if he knew the murderer's identity - if not, they had to find the fatty to trace the case.

Luo Guanying learned of Su Xing's existence through Dang Xunqi and personally visited Tong Jiangnan, deliberately revealing clues about the murderer in an attempt to gain Tong Jiangnan's trust. Tong Jiangnan remained hesitant, and Luo Guanying couldn't be too aggressive, stating that he would definitely catch the murderer.

That night, Li Wenbo went to the nightclub to support Lin Shiman, and found Boss Zhuang in the opposite VIP room. Lin Shiman was late, annoying Boss Zhuang, whose subordinates openly scolded and cursed. The manager quickly came to smooth things over. Soon, Lin Shiman came out from the backstage to apologize to Boss Zhuang, and Li Wenbo took the opportunity to approach her with flattering words while she was backstage putting on makeup, easily winning the girl's favor.

Li Wenbo made no secret of his affection for Lin Shiman, wanting to invite her for a drink after her performance, but Lin Shiman did not give a direct reply, and an atmosphere of flirtation and intimacy filled the air between them.
