> Judge Dee's Mystery Recap

After Cao An woke up, she discovered that Black Flame was already standing next to her, and when she saw Lin Fan lying on the ground covered in blood, she thought the other party had been brutally murdered. Black Flame said he was giving Lin Fan a little punishment, and at the same time he wanted to completely disrupt Lanfang, and completely control this place.

The Bingzhou minor tune that Cao An now sings was learned from Black Flame, but her mood was extremely complex, for a moment she didn't know if she should worry about Black Flame, or worry about Di Renjie. Ma Rong and Qiao Tai sat by the street listening to gossip, the city residents often grumbled a phrase, discussing that Di Renjie couldn't control Black Flame, and were quite resentful towards him.

This phrase, implicitly containing "greed, anger, ignorance, evil, love, desire, hate", attracted Di Renjie's attention, he thought that only enlightened eminent monks in the world could be like this, even the meat Ma Rong brought back from Long San's shop, had to be associated with the word 'greed'.

Afterwards, Di Renjie went to find Shopkeeper Xiao again, discovered problems during the inspection of the dye workshop, inquired about some minor details concerning Chu Lei, immediately took Ma Rong and Qiao Tai and rushed to Tongkang Village, which was Xiao Chunyu's in-laws' home. But when they arrived at Tongkang Village, they found that the entire village had killed each other, with bodies everywhere, seemingly no one survived.

Di Renjie was surprised by this, finding it hard to imagine by what means Black Flame achieved this result. Suddenly a woman rushed out, with a frantic expression, attempted to kill Di Renjie but failed, she turned back under the tree, cut a rope, and reached out to catch an earthenware pot, but found that it was empty.

Almost simultaneously, the surrounding fire circles were instantly ignited, a large display of fireworks bloomed in the sky, contrasting with the bloody pile of corpses, which was both shocking and chilling. Only then, did Di Renjie realize the opponent's cunning, if Chu Lei was truly as elusive as Lin Fan said, it would be very difficult to apprehend him and bring him to justice again.

Di Renjie quickly rushed to the stonemason's shop wanting to ask for details, only to find the injured Lin Fan, and Cao An controlled by Black Flame, except she had fallen into a coma due to the effects of a drug.

After this incident, Cao An confessed to Di Renjie about her past with Black Flame, admitting she had met Black Flame before, the reason she hadn't mentioned it again, was also because Black Flame had previously jumped into the sea, although she had suspected Lin Fan to some extent, it was now proven that Lin Fan was not the murderer. Cao An explained very clearly, yet a rift formed in Di Renjie's heart, and a crack appeared in their relationship.

That day, Di Renjie brought Lin Fan back to the county office, ordered someone to treat his injuries, and protect his safety. Although Lin Fan already knew that Chu Lei was Black Flame, he truly did not know Black Flame's whereabouts, stating that when Di Renjie came looking for him, it meant his life was in the hands of Black Flame and Di Renjie, so there was no longer any talk of being timid.

The crazy woman, Lady Lang, was put into prison, Ma Rong and Qiao Tai returned to the crime scene, after a detailed investigation, they reported the truth to Di Renjie, judging that Lin Fan was an outsider. Di Renjie came to the prison to question Lady Lang, he wanted to know what exactly happened in Tongkang Village, and why the villagers killed each other.

When Lady Lang heard the news of her son's death, she went through a period of sorrow, crying and laughing, only after calming down did she slowly recount the whole story. The incident began three days ago, a notice was suddenly posted in the village, stating that the well water they drank had long been poisoned.

At first, everyone didn't believe it, until someone died from the poison which caused panic, later there was a new notice guiding them that if they wanted clues to the antidote, they had to get the earthenware pot on the tree stump in the village, and also ensure that only half the villagers remained after two days, otherwise, there would be no solution.

From that day onwards, the villagers began to suspect each other, in order to fight for this glimmer of hope for survival, they were in a stalemate, and fought fiercely, the desire for life turned every one of them into a demon, there was only killing and seizing. Lady Lang was the only survivor in Tongkang Village, and also a witness to this tragedy.

In fact, the villagers were not poisoned at all, the only person who died from poisoning, was poisoned by his own woman using arsenic, Black Flame precisely used this pretext to create chaos. Di Renjie concluded that Chu Lei was Black Flame, the reason for the village massacre, was because the Lang family's son married Xiao Chunyu.

Lady Lang thought of her entire family, young and old, and even the entire village losing their lives because of this, she was extremely grief-stricken. Di Renjie brought pastries to Lin Fan, and casually revealed the Tongkang Village tragedy during their chat, and suggested meeting Black Flame. Qiao Tai was ordered to protect Lin Fan's safety, but was discovered by Lin Fan, so he no longer concealed it. At this time, a notice was posted on the street again, it was from Black Flame, warning the entire county's residents that anyone without a Black Flame mark tattooed on their body, would be killed by him after five days.
