Transcriber: flycrane01 Translator: 5Water Proofreaders: Emraldr, flycrane01, cynthaiz Perhaps it's exactly because there are many ambitious losers... This makes us the same person. You're wrong. We're not the same. If it goes smoothly, I will reward you. ***! Help! He was extremely fast. Out of the four, one was killed before unsheathing his sword. I guess I should spend less time outside at night. Episode 11: The Chest of Baiyue Nong Yu, don't be so sad and get some rest in my room. When did this happen? It must have been last night. When you left, Wei Zhuang was aware that you would be in danger. He wasn't present because he went to rescue you. A blade ran across her throat. It’s an expert technique. Not some bandit's. No one else was disturbed. Their target was very clear. The guqin... Nong Yu's guqin. This is Nong Yu's room. Could it be...? When Nong Yu left, she carried a scent from the plant in Zinü's room. After the argument yesterday, Zinü must have let Nong Yu stay in her room. The wall paint was recently finished. The problem is, there's no reason for anyone to be here. Was the crack always up there? Never. Did you check the roof? There are two pieces of tile on the roof. If the assassin was an expert, it's logical to say this shouldn't have happened. There must have been a brief hand-to-hand combat. It happened quickly and the assassin left in a hurry. Hand-to-hand combat? Does that mean there was another person watching over this room? Yesterday, after the Left Minister of War demanded for Nong Yu, he made quite the fuss. Get her over here! On the same evening, this horrible incident happened. Brother Han. Left Minister of War, Liu Yi, has been killed in his own home. It's time for this Minister of Criminal Justice to investigate. The strangest thing is, the one who asked for you to look into the case is Ji Wuye. This is good news. Left Minister of War, Liu Yi, is one of Ji Wuye's men. Logically, he would prefer someone of his own to solve the case. Putting Brother Han forward certainly must be his malevolent plan. Every strange puzzle piece often brings fascinating answers. Liu Yi lead an army during the Baiyue expedition, didn't he? Correct. The Right Minister of War, Li Kai, was the leading general. Liu Yi was second-in-command, made many contributions and obtained a promotion. The land of Baiyue. The Left Minister of War, Liu Yi. Prince. I'm acting as an officer now. Call me the Minister of Criminal Justice. Yes, Minister of Criminal Justice. It must have been exhausting to stand guard. Not at all, Minister of Criminal Justice. Please make yourselves comfortable. I will ask madam to come. She was quite frightened so she took two hours of rest. He is the Left Minister of War, Liu Yi. Earlier this morning, I interrogated a few servants. They said that last night, the madam was in the room beforehand whereas Liu Yi returned very late. He also entered this room with the door closed shut. The servants heard their quarrel. At dawn, a servant went in for cleaning, only to discover Liu Yi's dead body. The same blade technique again. Since dawn, I've seen this similar wound on two dead bodies. Is it identical to Hong Yu's at the Purple Orchid House? Very close. Do you suppose it's a new trademark of recent *** cases? Don't you find it a bit odd? Not much blood was spilled. If a blade cut across his throat, there should have been more blood. Even underneath the body, there's no sign of splatter. This bookshelf seems a little strange. Agreed. Perhaps... it's a secret doorway? As an important minister, it’s reasonable that he has such installments in his home. How do we open it? I've got an idea. What is it? Zifang. You search. Me? I have faith in you. You're making this difficult for me, Brother Han. My heart is less burdened now. How delightful. Now I know what’s bad about my job. Really? Under the sunshine of the morning, one ought to enjoy the sweet scent of the garden. Yet the only thing he can smell is blood. Brother Han "seeks to act virtuously. Why complain?" You're citing the "Analects of Confucius". We should go to Sanghai to study. How is it? Are you admiring me more than before? You are indeed clever. It’s me who opened the door, yet you asked me to admire you. Please enter, Brother Han. As expected... This must be the actual *** scene. The deceased was killed in this secret chamber. Afterwards, his body was moved outside. Since this is a secret chamber, it shouldn't have been discovered so easily by outsiders. So, the assassin should be someone who knows Liu Yi, or is even very familiar with him. Perhaps. It's a piece of torn thread. This chest doesn't seem to belong here. From the designs, it may come from Baiyue. Madam is here, good sirs. My husband... My Lady, you're going through a difficult time and I still have to disturb you. Please pardon me. I should be thanking you. I see you are both mentally and physically exhausted. Therefore, I will make this brief. May I? You may. If I may inquire, were you the one who killed the Left Minister of War? Please answer my question, my Lady. You really got me there.
