Before long, Zhang Tianming went alone to his father’s grave, informing the elder that he had successfully caught the murderer. Although Forensic Doctor Chen was not the only killer, Zhang Tianming still remembered his father’s teaching to remain a good person. Yet, as he faced the death of the righteous policeman, Liu Weitao, he began to doubt whether he could continue down this virtuous path.
Soon after, Chen Kaiqing showed up in front of Zhang Tianming. Together, they discussed the police profession. For Zhang Tianming, it was the job that had chosen him, but now that Chen Kaiqing knew of her father’s murderous deeds, she felt guilty toward those around her. Despite the hardships, both of them decided to keep pushing forward, determined to overcome every obstacle.
Elsewhere, Yang Guangyao sat alone by the seaside, gloomily drinking beer. Memories of when Liu Weitao first joined the police force flashed through his mind. Normally strong-willed, he couldn’t hold back the tears welling in his eyes. Soon, prompted by a change in the weather, he returned home and personally prepared omelet rice for his daughter. He even drew little symbols on top to represent them. Although it wasn’t exactly to her taste, Chen Kaiqing praised the meal’s flavor, warming her father’s heart. After the meal, Yang Guangyao once again went off alone to the elevator building to search for new clues. Unexpectedly, this time, Chen Kaiqing took the initiative to drive over and wait outside for his return.
Back at the police station, everyone resumed discussing the secrets held on a hard drive. Unexpectedly, Sanders—who had regained consciousness—quickly shifted blame, demanding 24-hour police protection to present himself as an innocent victim to the public. Though Zhang Tianming found this request outrageous, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and serve as Sanders’ personal bodyguard for now.
Soon enough, Sanders swaggered into a meticulously arranged room. After surveying the area, he booted up his computer. Although the police were ready to hack in, they could only watch helplessly as vital evidence was destroyed before their eyes. Sanders then emerged, brimming with excitement, inviting the officers to have breakfast. After the meal, Chen Kaiqing suddenly noticed her mother running from afar, bringing takeout for her father. Initially inclined to refuse, she ultimately couldn’t deny her family’s wishes. Reluctantly, she carried the food to her father, expressing her mother’s sentiments.
Unexpectedly, as Sanders enjoyed his meal, he suddenly fell ill. Seeing this, Yang Guangyao and the other officers rushed to save him. News of the philanthropic Sanders suffering from food poisoning under police protection quickly spread via the big screen, triggering widespread condemnation of police incompetence.
After ensuring Sanders’ wellbeing, Chen Kaiqing and the others went to a restaurant to check reservation records. They discovered that her mother had deliberately come to deliver something harmful. Meanwhile, Dr. Zhou went before her grandmother’s memorial tablet to share the news that her soul could now rest in peace. It turned out that the night Dr. Zhou called Yang Guangyao, her husband had remained awake and overheard everything. They had planned to get rid of Sanders together, but Forensic Doctor Chen, prioritizing his wife’s safety, drugged her unconscious and carried out the plan alone.
Having learned the truth, Yang Guangyao and Chen Kaiqing returned to Dr. Zhou’s bedroom to search for clues. After a lengthy search, they uncovered information about a storage unit.
Just as Chen Kaiqing prepared to head out, Dr. Zhou called her daughter, intending for her to come alone and reveal everything. Simultaneously, Yang Guangyao rummaged through a box and found items belonging to Dr. Zhou’s grandmother, realizing that the elderly woman had been a victim of the Jingshun Building fire. Speaking with her daughter about her grandmother, Dr. Zhou complained about the unfairness of fate, yet she still felt grateful to have met a husband who had endured the same tragic circumstances.
