I've Fallen For You Episode 6 Recap
> I've Fallen For You Recap
Zhao Cuo's father worries about his son's murder charges, fearing the loss of their ancestral home. He urges Zhao Cuo to quickly have a child with Jinxin to continue the Zhao family line. Zhao Cuo maintains his innocence, dismissing his father's concerns. Jinxin advises Zhao Cuo to calmly recall the events of the day, confident in her investigative skills. Zhao Cuo recounts arriving at a meeting, waiting for a long time, and leaving when nobody showed up.
As he left, a mist appeared, followed by hallucinations and a purple light, after which he lost consciousness. Jinxin deduces he was poisoned and lured into a trap. They discuss the missing letter, and Mr. Bai arrives, offering his assistance, impressed by Jinxin's earlier resolve. Jinxin explains Zhao Cuo's symptoms, suspecting the murderer used a similar method to incapacitate the victims before staging their deaths as suicides. She notes the victims showed no initial signs of poison.
Mr. Bai, recalling the purple light, suggests checking the study. In the study, they consult a "Collection of Herbal Medicines" and identify the poison as Datura stramonium, a highly toxic plant from the Western Regions, often cultivated near decomposing corpses. Its colorless and tasteless juice causes weakness and hallucinations, including visions of a purple light before unconsciousness.
The book explains that the toxins are naturally expelled from a living body within three days, making them difficult to detect, explaining why initial autopsies missed the poison. Jinxin concludes Yang Yong and Wen Xiao's deaths were murders, not suicides, designed to frame Zhao Cuo, and they go to the mortuary. At the mortuary, Jinxin explains that while the poison leaves no trace in living bodies, it permeates the bone marrow of decomposing corpses, making detection challenging for ordinary coroners.
She performs a specialized autopsy, extracting blood from the victims’ joints, confirming Datura stramonium poisoning, evidenced by blackened bone marrow. This confirms a premeditated serial murder, not suicide, intended to frame Zhao Cuo. However, the mystery of Yang Yong's apparent public drowning remains. By the river, a servant accidentally drops a paper boat, prompting a revelation for Jinxin. She realizes the river's strong currents would carry a body much further than where Yang Yong's body was found.
She throws a doll into the river to test this. The experiment confirms her theory: the doll travels much further than Yang Yong's body did in the same timeframe. She deduces Yang Yong's body was likely secured underwater with an iron chain connected to a gaily decorated boat. The person seen jumping from the boat was an imposter, not Yang Yong. Back at the brothel, Jinxin confronts Leimo, revealing her deductions.
She explains that Leimo knew the music master was blackmailing Yang Yong, Wen Xiao, and Liang Xiangsong, and used this to her advantage, with an accomplice. For Yang Yong, Leimo lured him onto a gaily decorated boat where her accomplice subdued him with Datura stramonium powder and drowned him. Yang Yong's body was chained to the boat to prevent it from surfacing early.
Leimo's accomplice, disguised as Leimo, played "You Live Downstream by the Yangtze River" on the boat, creating an alibi. After a signal, Leimo, disguised as Yang Yong, jumped into the river, creating the illusion of suicide, then secretly returned to unchain the body, which floated downstream. The precise timing of the events exposed the deception. Regarding Wen Xiao's death, Jinxin reveals Leimo wasn't performing but hidden in the room, having overheard the music master's blackmail plot.
Leimo prepared poisoned wine with Datura stramonium, knowing Wen Xiao's love of alcohol and agitated state. After Wen Xiao collapsed, Leimo's accomplice, disguised as a woman, hung him, staging a suicide. They played "You Live Downstream by the Yangtze River" to distract attention, while the accomplice (the substitute Leimo) escaped, maintaining the illusion of a performance. This allowed Leimo to kill Liang Xiangsong and frame Zhao Cuo.
Jinxin points out a scuff mark indicating a secret compartment used to hide the accomplice. She reveals Leimo's true name: Lan Muyan. Lan Muyan confesses to killing Yang Yong, Wen Xiao, and Liang Xiangsong, but claims he couldn't have done it alone. He says his accomplice was used and killed. However, a veiled woman emerges, revealing herself as Lan Mudie, the second murderer. She removes her veil, revealing a scarred face. Lan Muyan recounts their tragic story.
After the Sifu Troupe's successful debut, Lan Mudie's beauty attracted unwanted attention. One night, Yang Yong, Wen Xiao, and Liang Xiangsong assaulted Lan Mudie and set the Full Moon House on fire, killing Lan Muyan's adoptive parents. Lan Muyan saved Lan Mudie, but she was severely disfigured. Unable to seek justice through official channels due to General Yang's influence, they sought revenge. They express no regrets.
When asked about the Datura stramonium and why Zhao Cuo was framed, Lan Muyan warns Jinxin to "watch the mysterious person" before he and Lan Mudie die by poison. With the truth revealed and the murderers identified, Zhao Cuo is exonerated. His servant celebrates his return. Zhao Cuo immediately inquires about Jinxin's whereabouts, their relationship deepening as the cherry blossoms bloom in the Zhao mansion courtyard.
