Melody of Golden Age 长乐曲 Episode 23

Mo Qianzhi made a decisive decision and his first task was to investigate the scene, so he led everyone to the body. Yan Xing conducted careful inspection and found that the deceased's head had been brutally severed, and the case was serious. At present, the deceased's brother has become the main suspect because he had a fierce dispute with the deceased before the incident. Yan Xing analyzed the wounds and speculated that the murderer either had superior martial arts skills or harbored a deep hatred. Based on comprehensive judgment, it is more likely that the murderer has special skills. Mo Qianzhi frowned, knowing that the case was difficult and vowed to find out the truth.

Pan Chi was entrusted by his family to join the case investigation. He and Yan Xing quickly reached a consensus and the discussion was lively. When Shen Du saw this scene, he felt displeased and interrupted on the grounds of hunger. He insisted on ending the exploration and wanted to take Yan Xing to have a meal. Shen Du forced Yan Xing to leave, and Yan Xing looked confused. On the way, Shen Du confessed that he was hungry and asked Yan Xing to cook medicinal meals by himself. Yan Xing smiled bitterly and reminded Shen Du that he had just completed the autopsy, but Shen Du didn't care and insisted on his own opinion. Yan Xing reluctantly agreed, but then cleverly arranged for Qi Yunye to take charge of the fire, while he quietly left the meeting and went to meet his pen pal. Shen Du's willful demands and Yan Xing's witty response added some subtle interpersonal twists and turns to this intense investigation.

When Yan Xing stepped into the agreed place, he suddenly heard a series of secret signals, but unexpectedly discovered that the familiar voice came from a man - it was Pan Chi. While Yan Xing was shocked, Pan Chi appeared. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward. Yan Xing said frankly that when they first exchanged letters, Pan Chi chose delicate flower paper with petals and a fragrant fragrance, which made her mistakenly think that the other party was a gentle woman. When Pan Chi heard this, he couldn't help laughing when he recalled his random behavior after drinking that day. He explained that he did not expect to have face-to-face communication one day, so he did not rush to clarify the gender misunderstanding. He only wanted to use the case as a link to work together to solve the case. After Yan Xing heard this, he felt that what he said made sense and felt relieved.

At this time, Shen Du came looking for Yan Xing. He saw Qi Yunye guarding the fire alone and asked about Yan Xing's whereabouts. After learning that Yan Xing and Pan Chi were happily chatting, Shen Du felt unhappy and hurried over. Sure enough, Shen Du's face became darker when he saw the two of them laughing and chatting. Pan Chi gave Yan Xing a book of miscellaneous stories about the Western Regions. The book contained detailed information about exotic weapons. One of the scimitars was strikingly similar to the wound on the corpse in the case. Yan Xing decided to study the book in depth. The return gift prepared by Yan Xing, a simple hairpin, seemed a bit out of place in this situation, but Pan Chi accepted it with appreciation and resolved the embarrassment.

On the way back, Shen Du was in a low mood, just as the sound of drumming and grievances was heard outside. The two came upon hearing the news, only to learn that Du Xiaowan, the daughter of the Du family, had disappeared mysteriously on her wedding night. Her father was extremely anxious and asked for help in locating her. The best man at today's wedding, Xu Jize, was also present. He looked panicked and reported the news that the deceased was found in another place, adding another mystery to the case. Shen Du volunteered to go check it out, but Yan Xing secretly wondered whether there was some unknown connection between this disappearance case and the previous murder case.

Shen Du found a well and immediately ordered Pan Chi to go down to investigate. Sure enough, he found the missing Du Xiaowan, but what was even more shocking was that there was another body lying in the well. At this time, Xu Ji nervously explained that he had witnessed Du Xiaowan being kidnapped, and because he was anxious to save her, he did not call out, so he chased after him alone, but failed to provide any witnesses or material evidence. Mo Qianzhi asked seriously, Xu Jize could only shake his head. Li Zimo confessed deeply and vowed not to have any quarrel with Du Xiaowan because of this incident, but only hoped that she would bravely stand up and accuse the real culprit. The atmosphere at the scene was solemn, and everyone knew that only by uncovering the truth can Du Xiaowan be cleared and the murderer be brought to justice.
