Liu Weitao continued introducing Sanders to his old friend, making it clear this time that he might not be able to help him. At this moment, despite Liu Weitao’s reservations, Yang Guangyao remained focused on the human lives involved in the case. However, Liu Weitao still believed that solving it all and returning home safely was merely speculation on Yang’s part. The person seated opposite him, after hearing these words, continued to reminisce about their first meeting and chastised him for still being so afraid of death. In his view, if the wife were still alive, she would have supported their efforts.
After returning, the people at the police station continued investigating the suspect, Zhuang Xiaohua. She had previously run a beauty business, but had recently taken part in art auctions, which seemed suspicious. After listening to this intel, Yang Guangyao concluded that the suspect was merely a pawn of Sanders. His plan was to return the batch of paintings as soon as possible, reasoning that once the other side got their goods, they’d have to contact their boss—giving the investigators a chance to apprehend him in action.
Meanwhile, Forensic Doctor Chen returned to his room and switched on his computer to look into the paintings that had been up for auction. In that moment, he recalled how Mr. Shi, shortly before his death, had disclosed information about Sanders and how he incited Mai Zhihong to beat him. It was during that incident that Chen learned the mastermind behind the arson case was powerful and above the law. Unable to seek justice through legal means, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
While Yang Guangyao was sitting with his daughter, Chen Kaiqing, he openly discussed his suspicion that Forensic Doctor Chen might have tampered with death records and possibly served as the mastermind behind Mai Zhihong. Hearing her father bring up her own father again, Chen Kaiqing grew agitated and denied it vehemently. Unfazed, Yang continued, calmly noting that Forensic Doctor Chen had inquired about Sanders’ return to Hong Kong.

After finishing her conversation with her parents, Chen Kaiqing got off work and returned home. She spotted her mother’s toothbrush and realized her father had secretly replaced it. Just then, Forensic Doctor Chen emerged and startled her. Later, when she was with her mother, Chen Kaiqing found herself still unable to sleep. She tried to probe further into her father’s past, but her mother stopped her from continuing.
The next day, Chen Kaiqing found an excuse not to go out with her father and slipped into the bathroom to take the toothbrush for examination. Little did she know her every move was caught on a surveillance camera set up by her father. After stepping out, she continued discussing her father’s situation with Yang Guangyao and the others, growing increasingly suspicious about Mai Zhihong’s suicide. Suddenly, they recalled that Forensic Doctor Chen had been present at that time and suspected that Chen’s next target might be Sanders. Planning their next move, they decided to start with Zhuang Xiaohua to uncover the mastermind. Hearing this, Yang Guangyao urged Chen Kaiqing not to get involved, but she insisted on learning the truth.
That night, back home, Chen Kaiqing coldly refused her father’s offer of help and discovered that he had accessed her files. Without hesitation, she called her father and announced she would move back in with her parents. Meanwhile, Yang Guangyao and Zhang Tianming invited Liu Weitao out, telling him about Zhuang Xiaohua’s upcoming auction and seeking his continued assistance. Liu Weitao, having no other choice, cautioned them to be careful.
Soon after, Zhuang Xiaohua’s auction took place as planned. She had deliberately taken control of the entire venue, holding all the power in her hands. When the event finally ended, unexpected gunshots rang out outside. Panicking, Zhuang Xiaohua tried desperately to escape. She rushed to her car to flee, only to have a pair of hands suddenly clamp over her mouth and nose from behind. While Yang Guangyao and the others were back discussing Zhuang Xiaohua’s auction, they learned of her secretive manipulations. To their surprise, Zhuang Xiaohua herself had been kidnapped by a masked Forensic Doctor Chen. He recounted the tragic arson incident at Jingshun Building from many years ago, forcing her to reveal Sanders as the true culprit.

Later, Chen Kaiqing had dinner with both parents again. During the meal, she discreetly observed her father and sent updates to Yang Guangyao through her phone. Surprisingly, her father quickly noticed this. Unexpectedly, Forensic Doctor Chen then took the initiative to stand before his daughter and the others to confess the truth. He even revealed the scar on his body, explaining that he was afraid she would despise him if she learned about his past. He emphasized that he did not wish to let such matters affect the relationship between her and her mother.
