Li Bing finally understood that although he was worried about bringing unforeseen danger to the other members of the Mingjing Hall, everyone had already started assisting the investigation using their own methods. Shangguan Qin was also involved and asked Li Bing to definitely trust her. Li Bing thanked her first and would apologize to Shangguan Qin after the case was solved. Shangguan Qin suddenly remembered that just now in the Hu camp, several Hu people tried to drive her away.
After Alibaba revealed a plaque, the Hu people immediately knelt on the ground and admitted their mistake. When investigating the 'Fifty Dispersions' case, Liu Yaoshi originally didn't take anyone seriously, but after Alibaba appeared, Liu Yaoshi completely changed his attitude. So she asked Alibaba what trick he had used. Alibaba said that he was actually a prince of the Hu country.
The king had over a hundred sons, so he wasn't particularly favored, but the Hu people valued seniority and etiquette, so they still showed him respect. Chen Shi and Wang Qi, squatting behind the door, were greatly surprised to hear Alibaba's identity. Alibaba continued, adding that he had two attendants, one named Shuidao and the other named Qucheng. The reason he often used the idiom "水到渠成" was because these two had provided him with many clues.
At night, Li Bing sneaked into the Jinwu Guard compound alone, found the room where Hu Ji was held, and was about to act when a masked man in black appeared at the door first and dealt with the guards. Li Bing walked up behind him and quietly stated that he was there to help. After saying that, he opened the chain lock. The two of them together rescued the injured Hu Ji and brought her to Li's residence.
The man in black revealed his identity as Wu Yiren, former Director of the Court of Judicial Review. He had been entrusted by Li Ji to enter the death row prison to contact Du Zixu. Three years ago, Li Ji had already confirmed that more than one official was using Du Zixu's method to maintain longevity, and the medicinal ingredient was actually human blood.
As a result, many common people in Shendu went missing without reason at that time and their whereabouts remained unknown. Li Ji had hidden the clues he had gathered in a secret chamber. After Wu Yiren infiltrated the death row prison, Yi Zhi Hua was also locked up there. Wu Yiren intended to rescue Du Zuzixu. One night, for reasons unknown, the death row prison suddenly fell into chaos, and many prisoners escaped.
Du Zixu and a boat merchant got on a boat, and subsequently, both were killed. Hu Ji was the boat merchant's daughter. The two of them started investigating together in order to find the murderer of Du Zixu. Hu Ji told Li Bing that she had indeed made a new discovery over the years: the person who killed Li Ji was not Yi Zhi Hua, but the Black Rakshasa.
As the group was talking, the Black Rakshasa suddenly broke into Li's residence, used powder to knock Li Bing unconscious, and was preparing to assassinate Li Bing when Qiu Qingzhi suddenly appeared and blocked an arrow for Li Bing. Wu Yiren fought with the Black Rakshasa, and in the end, he and Hu Ji were both killed by the Black Rakshasa. Before she died, Hu Ji used all her strength to release a flare.
The next day, after Li Bing woke up, he found the bodies of Hu Ji and Wu Yiren laid out in front of him. Wang Qi reported that Qiu Qingzhi was severely injured. There were signs that the two bodies had been moved. Wu Yiren was holding a stone in his hand. Incense ash had fallen on the table, forming a date: the seventh day of the sixth month.
Li Bing asked Wang Qi to find the origin of the stone, but after asking many people, he learned it was just an ordinary stone. Wang Qi then casually threw it into the water tank. Regarding the date formed by the incense ash, Li Bing consulted the almanac and asked Cui Bei to find all personnel in the Court of Judicial Review whose birth dates and times matched the almanac's hints.
The next day, the group met up on the street and heard a melancholy zither melody. Li Bing followed the sound and found Kou Niang tied to the city gate, playing the zither. Li Bing quickly flew onto the city gate, untied Kou Niang, and was just about to pull her towards him when a cold arrow shot from within the room, directly piercing Kou Niang's throat. A piece of white paper also fell to the ground.
