Episode 3 recap: The clues point to Tang Xun.
As Shi Luo came out of 16 Shallow Bay, he expressed doubts about the postcard that Jiang Guang Ming had. The woman in the house peeked at them through the window, but was spotted by Jiang Guang Ming, who then hid her shadow behind the curtains. After the police left, the woman placed the file folder into an old wooden box and pressed it down with a book.
Gu Ji Ming arranged to meet someone to discuss finding a ghostwriter, and he emphasized again that this matter must be kept confidential. After the meeting, Mr. Chen called Su Zhen Zhen, revealing that it was she who had someone help Gu Ji Ming find a ghostwriter, but she didn't let him know the truth to protect his pride.
Many bestselling books are being published nowadays, and if Gu Ji Ming doesn't quickly release his next book, it will be difficult to maintain the hype, which is why Su Zhen Zhen did this. Gu Ji Ming cooked a few dishes, strongly recommending the carefully prepared braised pork, but Su Zhen Zhen only ate a small bite of the lean meat part, though she praised it as delicious with her words while reaching for other dishes with her chopsticks.
Su Zhen Zhen wants to open a pottery store, and the agent found a suitable one and called her. Gu Ji Ming wanted to accompany her to see the store, but Su Zhen Zhen asked him to go first. As soon as he arrived, Gu Ji Ming immediately turned around and said it was not suitable, and told the agent not to introduce any more properties in that area.
Jiang Guang Ming came home from work with a fish, and his mother said that Xiao Xu had come by earlier and left some things, but she didn't keep them. The mother always felt that Xiao Xu was a good person, and his infidelity was perhaps just a momentary lapse of judgment, and she hoped her daughter would reconsider their relationship. At this time, Mother's dance partner Uncle Wang came in uninvited, so Jiang Guang Ming didn't have dinner at home.
On Shi Luo's first day back from vacation, Jiang Guang Ming was waiting for him on the rooftop. Shi Luo honestly reported the results of his investigation in Fanghai City, and Jiang Guang Ming wasn't angry, as there can be multiple directions in a case investigation, and it's possible to go the wrong way sometimes.
The two went to visit the area around Zhang Qing's house again, and Shi Luo learned from an elderly man that a man over 50 years old had often been seen feeding dogs in the area a few days before the incident a year ago, but had never been seen again after the incident.
Shi Luo hurriedly called Jiang Guang Ming over and carefully asked the old man about the appearance and height of the person. Based on the old man's description, Jiang Guang Ming asked Shi Luo to investigate at the nearby hotels.
Liu Qiang and Xiao Zhang provided technical support, printing photos of the hotel guests, and Shi Luo quickly went to show the photos to the old man for identification. After identification, the old man recognized the person. Shi Luo continued to investigate further and found that the man's name was Tang Xun, a writer, who had a book signing event scheduled for that day but had canceled it due to health issues. On the 19th, Tang Xun checked out of the hotel in the early morning.
Shi Luo couldn't reach Jiang Guang Ming, so he went directly to her house to report the investigation results. Shi Luo didn't know that there was a rift between Jiang Guang Ming and her husband, and Jiang Guang Ming didn't want to chase him away, so she let him stay for dinner.
Shi Luo kept calling Jiang Guang Ming "brother-in-law," which made her feel uncomfortable, but she didn't react. After Shi Luo left, Jiang Guang Ming had the opportunity to tell her husband that she wanted to go to the civil affairs bureau the next afternoon, hinting that she wanted to file for divorce.
They checked the surveillance footage from the Ruilili Hotel and found that Tang Xun's behavior that night was suspicious, and there was also Zhang Qing's dog outside the hotel. They later learned that Tang Xun had passed away due to illness, and he had a wife living in Jinzhou. Jiang Guang Ming quickly reported this to Director Wang and went to Jinzhou in the afternoon.
Before going to Jinzhou, Jiang Guang Ming went to the civil affairs bureau, but her husband made an excuse about having a meeting and postponed it to another day. Shi Luo noticed something unusual since Jiang Guang Ming went to the civil affairs bureau, which explained the strange atmosphere during the dinner the previous night. At the Jinzhou Shallow Bay 16 address, they questioned Tang Xun's wife, and Jiang Guang Ming took a postcard that was sent from Fanghai but without a sender's name.
As they were leaving, Tang Xun's wife was watching them from the window, and when Jiang Guang Ming's gaze swept over, she hid behind the curtain. After Jiang Guang Ming and Shi Luo drove away, Tang Xun's wife stuffed a file folder into an old wooden box, as if there was a secret inside that she didn't want to be discovered.
