Lan Juzi's heart hid desires, wanting to taste pancakes and craving the company of a beauty. He proudly fiddled with the object in his hand, making the proprietress choose between the two, his face beaming with the confidence of success. Jia Budao watched coldly from the side, the atmosphere subtle. However, an unexpected incident occurred; the proprietress was struck and died. Jiang Shanren quickly supported her, his expression complex. Ying Tao noticed three mysterious figures quietly entering, highly skilled.

At this moment, officials appeared outside the window. Everyone's complexion changed suddenly, the atmosphere tense and panicked, and they rushed to distance themselves from the murder case and deny the accusations of killing. Su Wuming quickly stepped forward, telling the arriving officials that there were still guest rooms available in the shop, intending to use this to buy time so the people inside could deal with the body. He led Long Tai into the shop.

Seeing that the body had been properly hidden, he felt slightly relieved, and immediately arranged for Fei Jishi to pretend to be a waiter to receive these uninvited guests. Meanwhile, Jia Budao and Lan Juzi were still whispering about how to distribute the tempting gold cake. Su Wuming and Fei Jishi quickly presented the ingredients to the officials, hoping to quell their doubts. However, these observant officials seemed quite displeased.

Pei Xijun was uneasy inside, worried the body would be discovered, while Ying Tao appeared relatively calm, thinking that since it had happened, there was no need to be overly afraid, and joked that wherever Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming were, things were bound to happen.

Jiang Shanren revealed to Lu Lingfeng that if it weren't for the heavy snow blocking the road, he wouldn't have come here, and he was even less willing to get involved with officials because of a murder case. After Su Wuming sent the officials away, he noticed the red silk tied to the door, feeling secretly suspicious in his heart, but he remained outwardly calm, merely instructing Fei Jishi to close the door.

Although Fei Jishi was unwilling, he could only obey Su Wuming's arrangement and continue to play the role of a waiter. Su Wuming walked into the shop, his gaze sharply sweeping around. He was quite puzzled by the arrangement of ingredients and bowls and chopsticks in the shop; their layout seemed to conceal mysteries, and the strange structure of the house further raised his suspicions.

Just then, an officer noticed something unusual while sampling wine, quickly signaled his subordinates to remain silent, and went out to investigate. After a search, they only found wisps of smoke from the chimney but found no other abnormalities, so they returned to continue drinking. However, just as they were preparing to leave, a subordinate accidentally triggered a hidden mechanism while looking for the wine pot, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Upon hearing this, everyone became vigilant, knowing deeply that if the officials discovered a clue, the consequences would be unimaginable, and they all prepared to fight to the death. At this crucial moment, Fei Jishi, in a moment of desperation, appeared holding a lamb pancake, cleverly diverting the officials' attention, allowing everyone to temporarily heave a sigh of relief. On the other side, the Sogdian finished worshipping and called out for the proprietress.

Su Wuming took the opportunity to fabricate a lie to handle the situation. The Sogdian seemed to sense something, and hurriedly took wine and lamb pancakes to the shrine. Long Tai, as a seasoned official, had already noticed the unusual situation in the shop and decided to leave some subordinates to stay overnight while he prepared to leave himself. However, Jia Budao's sudden appearance, with bloody hands and a panicked expression, disrupted his plan.

Long Tai decided to stay to further investigate the situation. Facing this murder case closely related to the inn staff, Long Tai demanded everyone detail their whereabouts that night. Everyone's stories were consistent, seemingly without flaws, but Long Tai still harbored suspicions towards Su Wuming. Su Wuming was unable to defend himself and could only ask if someone was a killer hired by him, to prove his innocence.

He cautiously revealed his identity and sat beside the water vat where the body was hidden. Seeing this, Lu Lingfeng couldn't help but laugh. After hearing Su Wuming's heartfelt words about evading taxes, Long Tai actually developed a slight liking for him, but the truth of the case remained confusing. Long Tai saw Fei Jishi dressed in rags and instructed Su Wuming to treat him well. Fei Jishi took the opportunity to pressure Su Wuming.

Long Tai drew footprints for everyone to identify. Lan Juzi appeared exceptionally nervous. Su Wuming took the opportunity to compliment Long Tai on his unique insight. Subsequently, Lan Juzi nervously handed over the treasure under threat, and clues about the case gradually emerged.
