> When a Snail Falls in Love Recap
The deafening explosion rattled the nerves of everyone in the police force. Xu Xu immediately looked for Liang Yu, found he was not in the room, and then hurried downstairs to take a trishaw to the explosion site, but was prevented from entering by the local police. She learned from local residents what had happened at the supermarket and found out from photos that the criminal suspects' gang had taken a van to 54th Street, Number 45.
So she went there alone by taxi. The local driver told Xu Xu that it was very dangerous and a young girl should not go to a gambling den alone. Xu Xu naturally ignored the advice and insisted on going. After reaching the destination, Xu Xu found the suspect vehicle in the courtyard.
There was a lot of blood on the ground, but the courtyard gate was locked, so she entered the adjacent gambling den to try and obtain more information. After entering the mixed and chaotic gambling den, Xu Xu observed her surroundings and cleverly and resourcefully entered a sensitive area with guards, but was immediately called out. Xu Xu claimed she was there to pay gambling debts, and was taken into a room by a gambling den bodyguard.
The bodyguard locked the door from the outside and placed the key on the door. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and an uneasy feeling permeated the air. Xu Xu immediately realized her dangerous situation, looked up and saw a camera, so she began to act cautiously. She used a magnet to retrieve the room key and opened the door, but did not choose to escape directly; instead, she continued bravely searching for clues.
In another room around the corner, she discovered a suspect from the criminal gang who was being rescued. It turned out that the bloodstains in the courtyard were not Ji Bai's, but the criminals'. Xu Xu was exposed while trying to escape and screamed, running away in a panic.
Just at the most critical moment, Ji Bai miraculously appeared with his team again, engaged in a fight with the criminal gang, and ran out of the gambling den with Xu Xu. The local army also arrived, and the officers began negotiating with the gambling den owner.
Xu Xu and Ji Bai conducted a rigorous analysis of the day's events, suspecting that Hu Zhishan was likely inside the gambling den, so they followed the army, finding an excuse to enter the gambling den for a search. During the search, Hu Zhishan was not found, but a secret passage was discovered in one of the rooms. The officers concluded that he must have escaped through the secret passage and led their men in pursuit.
However, Xu Xu, through analyzing the timing of the events and the gambling den's layout, deduced that Hu Zhishan likely did not escape through the secret passage, nor were the drugs taken away. So she and Ji Bai began looking for more details. Soon, Ji Bai and Xu Xu found a secret room with a digital combination lock in the gambling den. While Xu Xu was still trying to unlock it, Ji Bai quickly guessed the password.
The door opened, and behind it was Hu Zhishan, frantically cleaning up the scene. The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it in the end.
