Er Jin's daughter Jin Fei encountered Lin Jiang outside. Since her father had been arrested and imprisoned, it became Lin Jiang's reason to humiliate her, and he even forced her to have a meal with him. Jin Fei resolutely refused and angered Lin Jiang. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaohai appeared in time to drive Lin Jiang away.

However, Jin Fei felt that both Qin Yi and her father had met miserable ends, and only Jiang Xiaohai could stay out of it, so she angrily rebuked him not to pretend to be kind anymore. The special task force members investigated the drug situation overnight, but they only found retail distributors and were unable to obtain the source of the goods. So Gu Yiran suggested changing their approach to investigate from the source.

Methamphetamine is chemical, and the synthetic chemical raw materials are all imitations, making them difficult to trace. It would be better to focus on pharmaceutical factories and chemical plants. Even if they can't search factory by factory, they might see some clues from the accounts. Zheng Bei agreed with Gu Yiran's suggestion and immediately arranged for everyone to split up and act.

That night, Zheng Bei, Gu Yiran, and Zhao Xiaoguang were watching a crime-solving movie in the room for inspiration. Zheng Nan deliberately sat close to Zhao Xiaoguang, but unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaoguang was completely oblivious, which made Zheng Nan very frustrated. Her friend advised Zheng Nan not to explicitly confess, and just deliberately flirt to make Zhao Xiaoguang understand.

Precisely because of this, Zheng Nan pulled Zhao Xiaoguang to a DVD rental store to choose new releases, saying that she previously liked the Joker in "A Chinese Odyssey," then liked Qiao Feng in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," and recently fell for some minor characters, subtly hinting at her feelings for him. Little did she know Zhao Xiaoguang misunderstood, thinking Zheng Nan was hinting to him that she might fall for anyone but never him.

Although Zheng Nan has a cheerful personality, she really felt embarrassed to express her feelings to someone she had previously rejected, so she could only find clever excuses and arrange various opportunities to be alone together, but all ended in failure. Afterwards, Zheng Bei brought chicken frames from home and dumplings made by his mother to see Jiang Xiaohai, and bought him an electric fan.

Jiang Xiaohai felt Zheng Bei didn't need to be like this, after all, he didn't owe him anything. But Zheng Bei said he was Jiang Xiaohai's older brother and should be good to him. Meanwhile, Gu Yiran was reviewing account records and noticed a pharmaceutical factory called "Yun Hui," remembering that Jiang Xiaohai's brother-in-law worked at this factory. At the same time, Jiang Yingzi personally came to bring food and cold medicine to Wang Jianmin.

Unexpectedly, the finance secretary Han Li came over with a prepared meal and deliberately said ambiguous words to Wang Jianmin. Although Wang Jianmin remained cold-faced and ignored her throughout, Han Li still didn't know her place and spoke sarcastically to Jiang Yingzi. Jiang Yingzi responded with a smile, but there was a hint of strangeness in her smile. Several days later, Han Li's body was discovered by several fishing enthusiasts.

The major case team next door to the special task force took over the case. Zheng Bei happened to pass by and saw the victim's photo, and immediately found it familiar. Upon checking the information, he recognized Han Li as the finance officer of Yun Hui Pharmaceutical Factory, and her superior was Jiang Xiaohai's brother-in-law, Wang Jianmin. Because of this, Zheng Bei applied to consolidate the investigations. Afterwards, the special task force conducted interviews and investigations, and collected clues.

Zheng Bei discovered some scratches on a stone and had someone make rubbings to take back and study, suspecting the marks were very likely made by a sapper shovel. The body marks were relatively rough, indicating it should be a sapper shovel that has been used for a long time, which is why there were signs of wear. Zheng Bei and Gu Yiran went to find Wang Jianmin and noticed he had severe burns on his arm.

However, the wound somewhat matched the gap in the deceased Han Li's teeth. When facing questioning, Wang Jianmin admitted he knew Han Li liked him and had always pretended not to know, not wanting the relationship between colleagues to deteriorate and cause trouble. Zhang Xueyao and others were also conducting interviews and investigations and discovered bloodstains in a hidden corner. Analysis confirmed the bloodstains belonged to Han Li. Everyone suspected the murderer was very likely Wang Jianmin.

Gu Yiran recalled that Han Li's colleague remembered that on the day of the incident, Han Li had copied an account book. At the time, they thought it was part of daily financial work, but now they suspect it is very likely related to the account book, and Wang Jianmin killed her to silence her and destroy evidence.
