> Resúmenes de The Truth
Ye Qian and Si Yuanlong arrived at a vibrant night racing circuit where Han Zhao was enjoying herself with friends. Upon seeing Ye Qian, Han Zhao greeted him with childhood nicknames like "Xiao Qianqian" and "Qian Baobao," which he clearly found annoying. Despite his initial reluctance, Ye Qian grabbed a helmet and joined the race. Watching from the sidelines, Si Yuanlong questioned the legality of the event, but Han Zhao assured him it was fully licensed.
She even baited him into a verbal wager, predicting that Ye Qian would climb to at least fourth place within three laps. While the race thundered on, tension brewed in a private club. Dan Qing’s associate, Lao Liu, lost his temper after being ignored by their hosts, smashing several bottles in frustration. When the manager finally arrived, Dan Qing remained firm. She made it clear that being kept waiting was a sign of disrespect, regardless of their new partnership.
She signaled for Lao Liu to leave, prompting the manager to urgently call his boss, Xiang. During a phone conversation with Xiang, Dan Qing asserted her authority, stating she represented her boss, Brother Huo, and demanded to see the mysterious Bao Hei. Xiang, intrigued, realized that Huo was serious about their cooperation since he had sent his own woman to handle the negotiations. Back at the track, Si Yuanlong observed the plastic ring Han Zhao always wore.
He deduced it was a relic from a childhood game of house she once played with Ye Qian. He pointed out that her daily attempts to get Ye Qian’s attention were futile because Ye Qian either consciously rejected her or had long forgotten their childhood promises. Han Zhao admitted that Ye Qian’s heart had always belonged to his "White Moonlight." The next day, Si Yuanlong’s curiosity about this unrequited love only reopened old wounds for Ye Qian.
However, a breakthrough occurred when Si Yuanlong noticed the distinct way Ye Qian bit his cigarette with his molars. This led them to re-examine the deep marks found on cigarette butts at the crime scenes. The police narrowed their focus to trades where workers bite their cigarettes to keep their hands free. They ruled out plumbers and electricians due to work dust, painters because they wear masks, and carpenters because no wood shavings were found on the victims.
This left masons as the primary suspects. As the investigation intensified, Ye Qian caught a fleeting glimpse of his long-lost love, Chen Yumo, in a taxi. He chased the vehicle desperately but lost it in traffic. Meanwhile, Si Yuanlong scoured the city until he found a specific type of rope—a livestock hobble—that perfectly matched the ligature marks on the victims. The investigation led them to Meidu Concept Decoration Company.
The manager, Jiang Honghai, informed the police that his mason, Jiang Lianhong, had just finished his work. Jiang Honghai acted helpful, even offering to call the worker. Using the excuse that there was an issue with the tiling, Jiang Honghai lured Jiang Lianhong back to the worksite, where the police were waiting to arrest him. Jiang Lianhong was carrying a black plastic bag that reeked of fish.
During interrogation, he initially claimed he ran because he had recently assaulted a doctor over his father’s uremia treatments. He expressed bitterness toward the victims, recalling a rude encounter on a bus where he was insulted for being a "dirty" migrant worker. When the police showed him the photos of the livestock hobble marks, Jiang Lianhong suddenly shifted his story and confessed to the murders. However, the DNA evidence provided a twist.
The samples from the crime scenes did not match Jiang Lianhong, though they shared a high paternal lineage, suggesting the killer was a male relative. Captain Leng and Ye Qian realized Jiang Lianhong was protecting someone. The focus shifted to Jiang Honghai, whose DNA perfectly matched the evidence. Although Jiang Honghai had booked a flight to Shenzhen to throw off the trail, he never boarded the plane and remained at large within Yunxi City.
Jiang Lianhong eventually admitted he was covering for Jiang Honghai out of gratitude, as the contractor had provided him with money and a job when no one else would help an ex-convict. That night, a student named Xiaomeng felt she was being followed in the dark. Just as a shadow loomed closer, Ye Qian arrived on the scene, causing the stalker to flee.
