Su Wuming insisted on making another deduction. He believed that ten years ago, after Chu Bin was rescued by the elderly woman, she was heartbroken and disheartened by her romantic entanglement, and did not return to her hometown because she felt ashamed to face her relatives. In particular, her older sister Chu Jia had strongly opposed her relationship with Li Yun. However, Ying Tao expressed confusion about this deduction, believing its logic needed further discussion.

Su Wuming elaborated further, mentioning that Fang Jiong's accidental encounter with Chu Bin unexpectedly ignited Chu Bin's idea of revenge. Fang Jiong was also not to be outdone; he funded the elderly woman to open an inn and invited Mudan to join, offering assistance. Meanwhile, Chang Le, being honest, confessed the truth to Shen Ping. Shen Ping, in fear, turned to her childhood sweetheart Fang Jiong for help.

Fang Jiong skillfully arranged a meeting between Li Yun and Chu Bin, and the two women thus saw through Li Yun's character. Originally, Fang Jiong intended to use Chu Bin to get rid of Li Yun, but he didn't expect Li Men to meet Chu Bin first, and Li Men, with his integrity and sense of justice, decided to join them.

Li Men's arrival not only provided an alibi for Chang Le and others but also allowed everyone to testify for each other, forming a solid defense line. Fang Jiong, full of strategies, even used small change to win people over, ensuring his plan was foolproof. After in-depth investigation, Lu Lingfeng finally confirmed the various abnormalities he had previously noticed.

Su Wuming then revealed that Da De was terrified because he had insight into a certain plan, so he hurriedly made an item of clothing overnight to cope. Li Men tried his best to dissuade Li Yun from harming innocent women any further, but Li Yun was stubborn and went his own way, and eventually the two erupted in conflict. Ignoring the persuasion, Li Yun burst into the room and found it empty, with only a bathtub inside.

Feeling uncomfortable in his head, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. Lu Lingfeng questioned Li Men's whereabouts, believing that although he climbed out from the roof, he happened to coincide with the time of the crime, lacking a definitive alibi. Su Wuming further analyzed that simple water was not enough to be fatal; the killer cleverly mixed lime into the water, causing Li Yun to suffocate.

Shen Ping used that specially made item of clothing to tightly press down on Li Yun, ultimately causing his death. Lu Lingfeng speculated that the reason the killer resorted to such extreme measures was due to Li Yun's numerous crimes; he not only harmed several women but also aroused public anger. He asserted that this case had no traditional sense of a murderer but was a self-defense counterattack by the victims in despair.

Huangpu Tan, hearing this argument, couldn't help but laugh speechlessly, recalling the scene a few days earlier when Hei Tou voluntarily surrendered. Lu Lingfeng woke up and found Su Wuming kneeling on the ground, expressing deep apologies to his mentor. Su Wuming, however, believed that these actions were not malicious but counterattacks learned by the victims for self-preservation after being harmed.

Lu Lingfeng felt deeply guilty, worried about how he would face his mentor at the master-disciple appointment half a year later. Hei Tou confessed that he was the killer of Li Yun; at that time, he held the lime and personally witnessed Li Yun lose his life before him.

On the other side, Chu Bin was burning paper money for Li Yun, grateful for her older sister's unwavering support, and reflecting that if she had listened to her older sister's advice, perhaps everything would have been different. The two sisters decided to join hands again and venture out into the world. Pei Xijun also felt relieved for the fate of these two women.

Fang Jiong and Li Men each embarked on new journeys, and Mudan also welcomed a better life. Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming witnessed everyone getting back on track, their hearts filled with joy, believing the perfect conclusion to this case was truly flawless. Shen Ping apprenticed under Fei Jishi, and both master and disciple were overjoyed. Xue Huan sought out his master Lu Lingfeng, and Suo Long attempted a provocation but was instead defeated.

Lu Lingfeng received an order to return to the capital to deliver golden peaches, while Su Wuming was wary of the hidden mystery within. Lu Lingfeng lamented his thwarted aspirations, and Su Wuming vowed to share hardships together. Su Wuming advised Lu Lingfeng to take Pei Xijun to visit the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and Lu Lingfeng decided to head west to explore secrets. The six of them journeyed together to Dunhuang, composing poems, painting, and enjoying a rare time of joyful gathering.
