> Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West Recap
Cao Weng returned home, heard that his beloved son Duobao had died suddenly, his heart felt like being cut by knives, and he anxiously inquired about the reason. Seeing his beloved son's remains, he wanted one last look. Seeing this, Su Wuming asked Mrs. Cao and Cao Weng to step away for a moment, as he wanted to examine the body carefully. Everyone's expression was solemn, surprised to see a ghost mask pattern drawn on Duobao's face.
Su Wuming asserted that it was not the image of Fangxiang. Fei Jishi agreed, pointing out that Fangxiang should have four eyes, while this drawing only had two pupils. Su Wuming pondered for a moment and speculated that this was a drawing of a qitou. He mentioned the Tang Dynasty funeral rites, speaking of the customs of summoning the soul, making clothes as a keepsake, and placing the body on the coffin after bathing and changing clothes.
Cao Weng was filled with grief and indignation, angrily asking who had committed such a vicious act and killed his own son. """ Lu Lingfeng carefully surveyed the surroundings, his brow furrowed, and asked those present who had first discovered the body. Saisai said with a trembling voice that it was she, because the night before last she had arranged with her uncle Duobao to go sandboarding outside the city, but she never expected that this farewell would be forever.
Pei Xijun was even more astonished at this sight. She had originally planned to have Duobao continue to lead them in exploring this land, but she did not expect the tragedy to strike so suddenly and unexpectedly. Yelai, as Duobao's mother, was burning with anger in her heart and felt indignant and helpless about her stepdaughter Pei Xijun's words at this moment.
""" Cao Weng knew well that the people around him had complex minds and various schemes, and their coveting of the family property chilled his heart even more. After a detailed autopsy, Su Wuming confirmed that Duobao had died from asphyxiation. This discovery plunged everyone present into deep thought. Li Chi's conspiracy was exposed; he had attempted to murder Cao Weng, but was fortunately discovered and stopped in time by Cao Weng's daughter.
Cao Weng felt deeply comforted by his daughter's loyalty, and at the same time felt heartbroken by the internal disputes within the family. """ Pei Xijun was immersed in deep self-reproach. She regretted that if she had let Duobao accompany them yesterday, perhaps this tragedy could have been avoided. Meanwhile, Ding Mao and Li Chi had been imprisoned. Facing Cao Weng's interrogation, they chose to confess.
Cao Weng decided to make a will to quell the family disputes, but this move was opposed by his eldest daughter, further intensifying the internal family conflict. Based on the clues, Lu Lingfeng deduced that the killer must be an insider from the family, and out of fear of Duobao's ghost haunting them, they covered his head with a cloth, attempting to suppress his soul. He personally went to prison to interrogate Li Chi.
Li Chi's confession matched his wife's testimony, further confirming the complexity of the case. Saisai, the innocent girl, pleaded with Lu Lingfeng to seek justice for her little uncle. She firmly believed that Duobao was not coveting the inheritance, but rather eager to introduce the beauty of Dunhuang to more people. After flipping through Duobao's books, Su Wuming deeply felt his profound affection for his hometown.
Ying Tao meticulously examined the body and was astonished to find traces of rouge on Duobao. Everyone's gaze immediately focused on Fan Songling. Cao Weng was grief-stricken and wanted to take his son into the ancestral grave together, but was met with obstruction. Cao Xiaoxiao was kind-hearted and recalled her younger brother's innocence and loveliness, which contrasted sharply with the indifference and calculation of her eldest and second sisters.
Cao Rong flatly denied killing her brother and raised the question of spouses testifying for each other, prompting everyone to ponder the validity of evidence. Su Wuming summoned Fan Songling and saw that his demeanor was delicate, he wore makeup, and his aged appearance seemed deliberate. Xue Huan felt a sense of revulsion. Lu Lingfeng had doubts and questioned how Fan Songling knew the cause of death. Fan Songling tried to flee but was stopped by Lu Lingfeng. He actually claimed that he was forced to commit the crime because his wife's command was impossible to disobey.
