Chen Hao was rummaging through files in the archives. As a result, he was locked in the room by a patrolling police officer at night. Chen Hao persisted through the night, finally sneaking out quietly in the early morning while the cleaners were tidying up. During his escape, he ran right into Section Chief Feng Guangyun of the Sixteenth Precinct. Feng Guangyun had always delayed his work and taken credit for their achievements.

Such a major case as the Wenhua Hotel one hadn't even been thoroughly investigated, yet it was hastily closed. There must be something fishy going on. This Section Chief Feng Guangyun looked down on him greatly. His subordinate even kicked Chen Hao directly, but he didn't rebuke him. Hua Zhen realized the seriousness of this case. The people in the Fourth Team came to the police station just to make a living.

If he investigated this case privately, it would likely endanger every colleague here. Thinking of this, Hua Zhen couldn't implicate his Fourth Team colleagues, so he wrote his resignation letter and handed it to Chen Hao first thing the next morning. In the morning, Chen Hao saw the missing person notice in the newspaper. He thought he had found a clue, so he quickly told Hua Zhen the news.

Hearing that Hua Zhen was going to resign, he was very confused. Hua Zhen explained his original intention. Chen Hao still wanted to persuade him to stay and investigate the case, using words to try and keep him. Hua Zhen didn't want to waste time here, so he said that he didn't see everyone here as his partner. Outside the door, Luo Minmin also heard Hua Zhen's words and thus misunderstood deeply.

Hua Zhen left the police station and ran into Luo Minmin's father Luo Zhongning and younger sister Luo Qinqin. They invited Hua Zhen and Meng Duo Ci to have dinner together. Hua Zhen's classmate Hua Liang, after saving Hua Zhen last time, saw that he was using a false identity and working in a small police station.

He quickly found out his work location and came looking for him, just in time to see someone inviting Hua Zhen home to eat fish. Hua Liang jokingly asked Hua Zhen what his purpose was for staying here. Hua Zhen told him he would explain everything in half a month. Meng Duo Ci was tutoring at Luo Minmin's home. She accidentally wrote down her real name. Thinking that the people here didn't know her, she immediately erased the original name.

Meng Duo Ci and Hua Zhen stayed for dinner. Luo Minmin's father Luo Zhongning even spoke highly of Hua Zhen, hoping he could look after his daughter. Hearing that Hua Zhen had already submitted his resignation at the police station, the old man was very surprised. After Hua Zhen and Meng Duo Ci left, Luo Minmin found something strange on the test paper. She saw that the name originally written was "Meng Duo Ci".

She looked through old newspapers and finally understood that the little girl who came to her house for dinner today was the only daughter of the parents who were murdered and went missing at the Wenhua Hotel not long ago.

Connecting this to Hua Zhen's performance at the police station these past few days and the strange things he said, Luo Minmin confirmed her suspicion – Hua Zhen was indeed investigating the truth behind the murder case of the Meng couple. Luo Tianxiang was being chased for debt by a group of thugs. The other party forced him to pay back the debt within these two days.

Luo Tianxiang had found a coachman to take Hua Zhen and Meng Duo Ci home during the day, so he naturally knew their address. Furthermore, with the debt collectors coming to his door, if he could reveal their address, he would get a reward of one hundred yuan. Luo Tianxiang was truly tempted. Wei Daiqing was determined to climb the social ladder. Hearing that the Chief of Staff was dining in their area, he immediately went to escort him.

It was pouring rain, but he still refused to use an umbrella. Secretary-General Guo noticed Wei Daiqing without an umbrella and praised him as a "pillar" in the National Revolutionary Army team. An attendant on the side, along with Hua Liang, heard Wei Daiqing's fawning words and wore expressions of disdain. Given his deep friendship with Hua Zhen, Hua Liang inquired with his superior about the purpose of Secretary-General Guo's visit this time.

His superior told him it was merely a struggle between tigers and wolves. This Secretary-General Guo had always been a notorious shady figure in the KMT-controlled areas, and this time, he was even more focused on achieving results. Indeed, Secretary-General Guo specifically instructed Wei Daiqing. He knew that Wei Daiqing had gone to Hua Zhuoqian and arrested a communist. He had already coveted the power in Hua Zhuoqian's hands, and this time, he wanted to seize the opportunity to put the Hua family to death.
