The Truth of Scent 闻香探案录 Episode 2

In the police station, Wang Ya learned that Wen Xiang came to Shanghai this time to look for him because of the grace of saving his life many years ago. However, Wen Xiang did not see his face clearly at the time, so he did not reveal his identity.

When Wang Yazheng was recalling a murder case that he had uncovered over the phone, Zheng Yifei walked into the detention room and Wen Xiang hurriedly ran forward and handed over a piece of paper with illegible writing that he found at the death scene of Tang Man Chen. He also claimed that he had smelled The smell of woolly holly, the paper has the names of the clay figurine Xu and the sugar figurine Chen, and the other character can only be seen next to the words. Even so, many clues have been obtained, indicating that the person with the last name must be related to the two deceased people. There is a certain relationship.

Wen Xiang once again stated his purpose. If he could help solve the case, Zheng Yifei must help find Wang Ya. Zheng Yifei turned his face and looked at Wang Ya behind him. Knowing that Wang Ya had not revealed his identity, he agreed.

After leaving the police station, Wang Ya took the objects found in the house of Sugar Man Chen and went to the shadow puppet theater to watch a show. Under Wang Ya's guidance, Wen Xiang also thought that the dead statue of the clay figurine Xu was very similar to the shadow figure.

The two took out the mulberry paper that they had found from the house of Tang Man Chen. Wang Ya analyzed that the paper was unusually used by other people. Therefore, there must be an ulterior affair between Clay Man Xu, Sugar Man Chen and the murderer. Now they need to find the source of the paper. , after many twists and turns, I found out that the paper was produced in Fangjia Paper Mill, but Fangjia Paper Mill disappeared fifteen years ago, and the Fang family of three was wiped out for unknown reasons.

Following the clues, the two found Xu Hai's residence. After breaking into the home, they found that there was also a statue of Zhong Kui enshrined in Xu Hai's house, as well as Mao Dongqing and shadow puppets. Wang Ya speculated: Xu Hai must have teamed up with Clay Man Xu and Sugar Man Chen to cause the murder of three members of the Fang family, and then fled to Zhuangyuan Lane. Xu Hai had recently incurred gambling debts and used the murder as an excuse to extort money from the two of them. Yingcai was killed. Just as he was talking, he heard a sneer. The two of them split up to look for the source of the sound. Wen Xiang was almost attacked from behind. Wang Ya arrived in time and fought with the attacker. He found that the target was lame. It was Xu Hai. But Xu Hai had some skills and quickly escaped from the room.

Wang Ya didn't panic and persuaded Wen Xiang to perform a Zhong Kui ghost-catching trick with him to defraud Xu Hai.

The practice attracted many people. Wang Ya first cured an old illness of an onlooker through a little trick. After establishing his prestige, he continued the practice to attract Xu Hai to show up. The trick he used was clearly seen by the magician Moxi who was standing by. Mossy did not reveal it.

Not long after, Xu Hai's whereabouts were revealed due to a guilty conscience. The patrol house, Wang Ya, and Wen Xiang pursued them separately. When Wen Xiang was about to catch up with Xu Hai, someone accidentally fell into the water. Wang Ya, who arrived later, took off his coat and jumped into the water without thinking. While rescuing people, Wen Xiang saw a medal that fell from his coat on the shore, which was the same as what he had seen on Wang Ya. After Wang Ya rescued people and came ashore, Wen Xiang asked Wang Ya's name. Ya denied it again, saying only that the same medals could be seen everywhere in Shanghai and there was nothing special about them.

Moxi invited Wenxiang to join his magic club. Wenxiang confessed that he only wanted to find Wang Yaxue to handle the case, and rejected Moxi directly. Seeing Wenxiang's frankness, Moxi suddenly felt that the girl in front of him had a unique style.
