The cloth shop owner, Li Yun, was woken up by a sudden nightmare, his clothes soaked with sweat, and his face as pale as paper. In the dream, a woman wearing a black veil and with her face covered repeatedly said that her face was covered with yellow paper. Each time she spoke, it seemed as though more yellow paper was mercilessly torn from her face.

The scene was both bizarre and terrifying, leaving Li Yun's heart unsettled for a long time. Shen Ping is Li Yun's wife. However, she is plagued by illness and is physically weak, so she handed over her father's cloth shop business to her husband to manage. But her husband was neglecting his proper work. She was woken up by her husband's movements and quickly got up to ask with concern.

Her eyes were full of worry, as if she could see through the unease deep within Li Yun's heart. Just as the two were talking, the maid Changle hurried in, tightly holding a letter of unknown origin in her hand. She claimed to have found it accidentally at the shop entrance, but the person who delivered it had vanished without a trace like a ghost.

Shen Ping took the letter, and a hint of doubt couldn't help but arise in her heart. She looked up at Li Yun, hoping he could give a reasonable explanation. Li Yun hesitated for a moment and finally chose an answer that seemed safe, lying that the letter was from a distant relative named Li Men from Yunding.

However, there was a hint of imperceptible panic hidden in his words, especially when Shen Ping inadvertently mentioned the words "borrow money," Li Yun's face instantly turned extremely unpleasant. Seeing this, Changle quickly changed the subject. She knew deeply that the madam was not well and needed careful care.

So, she quickly got to work, slaughtered the chicken that the master had lost in the cockfight, and carefully brewed it into a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup, hoping to nourish the madam's body. However, this action angered Li Yun. He was very displeased with Changle's talkativeness, especially when his secret of gambling was on the verge of being exposed. Shen Ping saw her husband's abnormality.

She gently comforted him, saying, "It's not that I can't tolerate your occasional indulgence, but that cockfighting business is truly not what a gentleman should do. As for this Fang Jiong, observing his conduct, he is definitely not a good sort. You are too close to him, and I fear you will be influenced by him and go down the wrong path. " After hearing this, although Li Yun felt dissatisfied, he could not refute his wife's good advice.

The next day, Li Yun went out with a heavy heart. He went to Qiongquan Alley in Shangxian Fang, trying to find the distant relative named Li Men. However, everyone in the alley was hurrying along, giving irrelevant answers to his questions. Moreover, an old woman's behavior was exceptionally strange, sending shivers down Li Yun's spine. Early the next morning, bad news arrived. Li Yun had died bizarrely, and the manner of his death was astonishing.

Su Wuming, the official known as "Detective God," was invited to examine the body. After a careful examination, he determined that Li Yun had not died from drowning but had been strangled to death. Lu Lingfeng, as Su Wuming's capable assistant, developed a strong interest in this case. He visited the residents of Qiongquan Alley, especially the old woman Yin, trying to get more clues from her.

Old woman Yin recalled that before Li Yun died, he had come looking for someone named Li Men, but this person did not live in the alley. She also mentioned a silent woman wearing a veil and a strange-acting ugly woman. These clues were like faint lights in the fog, leaving Lu Lingfeng feeling both excited and confused. At the same time, Shen Ping also found Lu Lingfeng.

She fully revealed her speculations about her husband's cause of death, including how Li Yun was dragged by Fang Jiong to gamble and his various actions attempting to conceal all of this. After hearing this, Lu Lingfeng pondered in his heart and decided to thoroughly investigate the truth of this case. Led by Su Wuming, the group went to the brick kiln for inspection. They discovered a special kind of clay that matched the traces left at the crime scene.

After an investigation, they finally locked onto the suspect - a bricklayer who was roaming around. This person not only admitted to the crime of killing Li Yun but also arrogantly mocked Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming for being incompetent. Su Wuming invited the experienced coroner Lao Fei to discuss Li Yun's cause of death. Lao Fei initially speculated it might be due to long-term mental stress, but after a detailed examination of the body, he ruled out illness.

Lu Lingfeng expressed doubt about Su Wuming's judgment, considering him incompetent. At this time, Suo Long brought a clue, identifying a bricklayer as involved in the case. The craftsman confessed to having seen the deceased. Even more surprisingly, Heitou arrogantly confessed to committing crimes across counties, mocking Lu and Su for being incompetent. Facing such provocation, although Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng felt angry, their determination to uncover the truth became even stronger.
