[English subtitles are available] Continuing from where we left off. Last time we talked about, Huang Yi-suo’s tragic death and how Wang Mei-ren fainted from fear. Gu Ying gave chase to the back of the stage, but fell unconscious as well. Gu Ying woke up in Dragon King Temple, and remembered that a fat, bald man threw some sort of fragrant powder at her, then she lost consciousness. Guo De-you dressed up as a funeral usher to sneak into the House of Huang, and found out that Hung Yi-suo was a lover of women and wine. He ran into Ding Mao and Gu Ying while investigating. The three of them wanted to investigate further, but was stopped by Huang Yi-suo’s mother. Huang Yi-suo’s younger brother Huang Yu, published in the newspaper that he was challenging the culprit of his brother’s death to a duel. All evidence points to, the culprit being Wu-Laoxian, who was expelled from the House of Huang years earlier for being a disloyal disciple. They found out where Wu Lao-xian lived, and planned to go there to capture him. At that time, Huang Yi-suo’s brother Huang Yu disappeared mysteriously. It came to light that this was all planned by Wu Lao-xian. Detective Ding ran into an old acquaintance. And Qi Mou suddenly appeared. What is it? Are you men all like that? Like what? Are those flowers beautiful? Yes, they are. They are as ostentatious as that actress! I can smell them standing outside. I can tell with one glance that they are bad news. Go find him quickly. Who are you? What are you doing up there? Get down from there. You come up. You come down. You come up. Fine. I will come up. You, stop right there! Stop! You, stop right there! Wu Lao-xian! Stop right there! What is going on? If I hadn’t held on to you, you would have already jumped into the river. Brother Guo-er would have had to save you again. I was chasing Wu Lao-xian just now, I was running for a long time. You were never far away from that hut. We were under Wu Lao-xian’s spell. Spell? No wonder I was reminded of that actress, when i saw those flowers. The problem is with those flowers. The smell is similar to when I smelled them at Juhua Grand Hotel. What did you just throw on me? Last time when Huang Yi-suo died, he was under the same spell as me. Afterwards my mom concocted this powder, to break the spell. These little tricks can’t fool me. What do we do now? Let’s split up and look for him. I will check along the river, you search along the road. We can outflank him. Hey, kid! Why are you here all alone? Where are your parents? Young Master, long time no see. Uncle Hu? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be in that jail? In Tianjin, there is no place that can keep me imprisoned. Back in the days, your father, Old Guo, and I wiped out the Demonic Cult together. We did not expect that the Demonic Cult would not stay dead, and is even showing signs of recovery now. We had no choice but to do this. With the goal of eradicating, the remaining members of the Demonic Cult. What about him? He was also a member of the Demonic Cult? Exactly. You wanted to eradicate the Demonic Cult, as revenge for your father. Kill him. Wait, what? Kill him. Impossible… Don’t you recognize me? It… it must be a spell. Don’t try to fool me. Come touch me and find out for yourself. Trust me. These are all the tricks of the Demonic Cult. Kill him. Brother Guo-er? See. You do recognize me. That person is dead. What? The human trafficker. To save you, I killed him. So, you owe me your life. I regret it. I regret giving my life to you. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Give me back what is mine. What are you trying to do, Brother Guo-er? Now, I will take back your life. Brother Guo-er. Give me back your life. Kill him. And all these illusion will disappear. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. Trust me. Kill him. Kill him. Brother Guo-er, my life was saved by you. How can you bear to kill me? Brother Guo-er. Master. Look. Look at what you have done to Tianjin. Where have you been all these days? If I didn’t return, you would have created enough trouble to shake the heavens. Master, we must investigate this case. We can’t just leave them be. You have disrespected and disobeyed your Master and your clan. How are you worthy of the title of Tientsin Mystic? If I am not worthy, are you? You! How dare you talk back to me? Kneel. I only kneel for my Master. What are you saying? You are not my Master. You would dare to not recognize your Master? My Master would never smoke in front of me. Impressive, you do recognize your Master. Of course. How can these little tricks fool me? Little tricks? Do you know where you fell for them? Do you know how you fell for these tricks? Master, you can stop beating around the brush. You are still amidst the tricks. What should I do, Master? Please help me. You want me to help you? Of course. What are you doing, Master? Looks like you’re deep amidst the tricks. What’s wrong with you both? Answer me! Are you deaf? Why are you so dumb? Why don’t you ever listen to me? How can you still not know how I feel deep down in my heart? I don’t want to involve or trouble you, but you rush forward and insist on being a part of it. So silly of you! I am to blame as well. It’s my fault for not listening to my Master. I insisted on getting myself involved. I insisted on minding the wretched business of the Caoyun Chamber of Commerce. You think you are the only one who can hold your breath? No matter how smart you are, you can’t outsmart me! Brother Guo-er, you are no exception. You think that’s funny? Are you guys serious? Actually… in the beginning, I didn’t agree to her prank. But to be frank, it is pretty funny. Brother Guo-er, did you mean what you said just now? What are you guys doing here? To catch the suspect, of course. Did you catch him? We lost him. Ding Mao! Wake up! Ding Mao! Wake up! Wake up! You have to wake up! Even I woke up, why haven’t you? Wake up! Wake up! We both took the powder made by my mom, so why couldn’t we break the spell? I didn’t feel like I was in an illusion at all. Even my sense of touch felt real. How did you two fall under the spell? Those flowers! Thornapple, sage, and many other types of fungus can all cause hallucinations. In the Amazon Basin, there are some tree frogs… In the Mediterranean, there is a type of fish called the sarpa salpa… All of these can induce hallucinations in humans for several days. But these only work when ingested. We only smelled the flowers planted by Wu Lao-xian. How could it have such a strong effect? If the effect is as strong as you say, how did you guys break the spell? Thanks to me of course! Of course… it is all because of her that my foot is like this. What are you guys talking about? I injured my foot by accident when I was under the spell. It was bleeding so much, but my consciousness slowly recovered. I concluded that my injury must have helped to break the spell. So you decided to inflict me with the same injury? Well, did you wake up? All I am concerned with is whether you woke up or not. I woke up because of the pain! The pain stimulated my nerves, and that’s how I woke up. Pain? In the illusion, Brother Guo-er kept trying to strangle me. I was also in pain. How come I didn’t wake up? It’s the blood. Yes, it’s because of the bleeding. We broke free from the illusion after we bled. Is anyone there? Let’s go. He was trying to kill me. Don’t move! It’s the police. Yu-er! Be careful, Mrs. Huang. Are you hurt? You guys again. This is Wu Lao-xian? Yes. How come he’s dead? I killed him. Young Master Huang, be careful of your words. He kidnapped me from my home while I was asleep and brought me here. Everyone knows that the House of Huang is famous for our knot-tying and untying skills. He is just a disciple. How can he keep me tied up? So, I took the chance and… Yu-er, don’t worry about it. A bastard like him deserved it. Now that this matter is concluded, I will take my son back home. After his health has recovered, we will come to officially give our thanks. Wait, Mrs. Huang. I have one more question. Please. There was some kind of white flower planted at Wu Lao-xian’s house. It looked very coquettish. Do you know what kind of flower it is? You are talking about the camel flower. It’s an important ingredient for medicine-making at the House of Huang. Even though it can cause hallucinations, it is just one of many ingredients. If it’s just the camel flower on its own, anyone with basic pharmacological knowledge can come up with an antidote. How about this powder made by my mom? Ms. Gu, this is just flour mixed with brown sugar. Are you saying that it’s completely useless? But we used it to break some spells. That’s called the placebo effect. Like when a dying patient believes that he is cured after taking some magical medicine. This Wu Lao-xian is known for being malicious. There should be other traps set by him nearby. If we don’t do anything about it, the civilians in the area might get hurt. Captain Fu. I think you should search the area again with care. Indeed, great minds think alike. Come. Search this area for me. Yes, sir! Hold on a moment. What now? Wu Lao-xian uses spells from the streets， ones we are all unfamiliar with. Mrs. Huang, you are experienced in this area, and Wu Lao-xian was a disciple of yours. You must be familiar with his ways. Could you please take Captain Fu and my junior to go and take a look around together. But… Don’t worry, I will take good care of your son. He will definitely be safe with me. You guys go check over there. The House of Huang has two secret skills. One is knot-tying, and the other one is psychedelic medicine-making. Mrs. Huang, can the hallucinations be cured with blood? That is the Huang family’s secret. I am afraid I cannot answer Chairman Ding. There is a kind of psychedelic medicine that can cause strong hallucinations. The victims of this spell can only wake up after bleeding. This is a secret skill of the House of Huang, no? How do you know about that? Because we both fell victim to this type of spell today. You? Impossible. The spell you were talking about, the one that can only be broken with blood, is the House of Huang’s top secret skill. But it has not been passed down since my father’s generation. It is simply too dangerous. If it falls into the hands of those who intend to do evil, there will be great disaster. Are you saying that this skill has been lost to the world? Not quite. It can still be inherited by the Head of the family that we elect. Then, since Master Huang has already passed away, who is in possession of the skill now? Me, and only me. What is it? You suspect that I am the one who cast the spell? Mrs. Huang, you just arrived here, so the timing doesn’t add up. It couldn’t have been you. Other than Wu Lao-xian, who arrived here before us? Young Master Huang, among the younger generation of Tianjin, you are undoubtedly the wisest and bravest. Please give me guidance and support in the future. I am just lucky. I am not deserving of the honour. If you ever need my help in the future, I will be there for sure. Young Master Huang, you are too kind. There is something that I want to ask you. In order to protect you, I scattered a layer of limestone powder outside your window. If Wu Lao-xian really snuck in through the window to kidnap you, why is there limestone powder on your shoes, but not his? Earlier at Juhua Grand Hotel when I saw the knot around your brother’s neck, I noticed that something was off. But those brainless police cut the knotted rope with a knife, leaving me confused. It was not until I saw the knot around Wu Lao-xian’s neck that I confirmed my suspicions. My goodness, it has finally come full circle. The fish knot. What? A knot that can trap a live fish. It becomes tighter as the trapped person struggles. Only members of the Huang family know how to untie it. Medicine-making and knot-tying are unique skills of the School of Magic. But the fish knot… That is something new. What a pity. If you had exposed me in front of everyone earlier, I might have spared your life. But now, I can only let you experience the beauty of the fish knot for yourself. Young Master Huang, didn’t you feel anything strange when I patted your shoulder earlier? I will take good care of your son. He will definitely be safe with me. I am nothing but a labourer who retrieves corpses from the river, but medicine-making happens to be my Master’s hobby. The drug on this needle is really something. It is brewed from fresh tobacco leaves and the blood of the puffer fish. Without the antidote, you will not walk out of here alive today. Young Master, do you feel your arms and legs becoming numb? I’ve heard that among the medicines made by the House of Huang, there is one that can only be passed on to the Head of the family. Would you like to tell me about it, Young Master Huang? What? You think I don’t have enough money to pay? Master Huang, you are our distinguished guest. But you haven’t paid in two months. You lack foresight. I am the Head of the Huang family. Money means nothing to me. I am Huang Yi-suo, my skills are priceless. This is the House of Huang’s secret medicine-making techniques. It is worth ten of your brothels. What? Hey, stop right there! Someone come! Get him! Master Huang. You are trying to pay for food and drink with this tattered book? Master Huang. Master Huang. Hurry up! Sorry to offend, sorry to offend. Our Master behaves like this only when he’s drunk. So sorry for that. This is too much, much more than necessary. Then, could you please return the book to our Master? Here you go. Ever since I was a child, it was common knowledge that I am more talented than my brother. My mother was extremely strict when it came to my studies. I didn’t expect that in the end, she would appoint my stupid brother as Head of family. Huang Yi-suo didn’t care at all about inheriting the House of Huang’s skills. He even treated our family’s top secret skill carelessly. He never cared about our family’s traditional skills. He just swaggered around, and even performed Western magic tricks in public. I couldn’t standby and watch as he destroyed the reputation of our family. So I found Wu Lao-xian, and asked him to put on a show with me. The older brother dies, and the younger one takes over. Don’t you think that’s too much of a coincidence? How would others think? Having to settle for second best. Huang Yi-suo has already ruined the House of Huang’s reputation. If I want to clear up his mess, I would need help from the newspaper agency to put on a show. Let all of Tianjin know that I, the second son of the Huang family is a worthy and courageous man. Then, you will show up to accept the challenge, and admit that you are the murderer. I promise to spare your life after you are defeated. I will treat you well in the future. This way, everyone’s attention will be focused on me. I can also turn my mother into a mere figurehead. Huang Yi-suo accused me of betraying the House of Huang. Now that he is dead, I have gotten my revenge. I just want to be accepted back into the House of Huang and learn my skills in peace. You want me to be your scapegoat? Isn’t that drawing fire onto myself? You want to return to the House of Huang? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? At this age, you are still so naive. For whatever reason, you were cast out of the House of Huang. I will never let you come back. Hey you! Why are you here again? I didn’t expect you guys to be so capable, and track down Wu Lao-xian. So I turned your own strategy against you, and pretended to be kidnapped. Wu Lao-xian lacked foresight and couldn’t see the revival of the School of Magic. So I had to stay ahead of the game and kill him first, putting an end to his hopeless dreams. Funny that I have been learning to make medicine since I was a child, but in the end, I was defeated by this poison. You better explain this. This Huang Yu, he colluded with Wu Lao-xian, deceived his own mother, and killed his own brother. He committed treasonous crimes and deserves to die a thousand times. That’s not what I am talking about. Oh, I know now. Huang Yu committed so many wicked offenses, he must have been very nervous. To his face, I revealed all of his deepest, darkest secrets one by one. He must have panicked. My words were like a knife, stabbing him in the heart. The nerves got to him, so naturally, he passed out. You’re saying that the needle you pricked him with wasn’t poisoned? It was the placebo effect. Guo De-you, let me ask you this. Before you went to find Wu Lao-xian, did you touch anything or eat anything special? I had fried dough twists. So you broke free from Wu Lao-xian’s spell with sheer willpower? Of course! Pay up. I told you, Brother Guo-er is the best of the best. Wu Lao-xian’s camel flower is the final ingredient for the psychedelic medicine. What do you mean? The medicinal candy he sold before can indeed cause hysteria. So we were all poisoned with the first few ingredients. But you didn’t smell the camel flower, so you experienced lighter effects. That’s why you could break free with sheer willpower. That’s very possible. Boring. When did we get poisoned with the first few ingredients? Did we come into contact with anything together? At the House of Huang. Light a stick of incense before you leave. Pay your respect to the dead, even if it’s just a gesture. I held my breath on purpose while I was in the mourning hall. I was afraid that my body couldn’t stand all the smoke. So I must have inhaled less than you. If it was the incense, the poison would be airborne. How did Huang Yu stay unaffected? He made the medicine, so he must have had the antidote. Then, how did Huang Yu kill Huang Yi-suo? I only saw Wu Lao-xian at the crime scene. Didn’t you say that you saw a bald, fat man carrying a big leather suitcase? The Art of Soft Bones. What? Huang Yu was hiding inside of the suitcase. There are many kinds of tricks. In addition to Western magic, performers also need to know qigong, acrobatics, contortion, jiu-jitsu, and many other skills. These are basic skills for magicians, learned since childhood. He must have left himself a way out. If anything goes wrong, he could still frame Wu Lao-xian. This is all just our deduction. We only have your testimony. Without evidence, we can’t convict Huang Yu of his crimes. First his brother, and now Wu Lao-xian, he has already committed two murders. People like him should never be reincarnated. Not two. It’s three murders. As soon as I got some information about Lian Hua-qing from the ghost market, the informant was killed in front of me. He was killed by the Immortal Rope. By the looks of it, Huang Yu must have been the killer. Huang Yu is connected to the Demonic Sect? Of course. Why didn’t you say so earlier? What’s the rush? We already caught the guy. We’ll know when we interrogate him. So deceptive! I will expose his true colours! I can’t get anything out of him. You see, he confessed to the crimes, but he’s gone mad. He hasn’t confessed everything, we have to interrogate him again. Sure, do whatever you want. Huang Yu is a master of the Art of Soft Bones. You think these prison cell bars can keep him imprisoned? A madman can’t perform the Art of Soft Bones. How long has he been like this? Ever since he was arrested. Young Master Huang? Head of the Huang family? He has lost his ability to communicate. By the looks of him now, he is severely mentally ill. We only feed him some buns now. He spills any other food given to him. Let me ask you a few questions. Answer me honestly, and I will give you this bun. It’s no use, we have tried that. This won’t do. Let’s take things up a notch. Captain Fu? Do you have any chili water or torture racks here? Lynching is illegal. In order to escape punishment, he’ll pretend to be mad forever. We have to teach him a lesson. Prisoners have dignity too. Do the three victims have dignity? Of course they do too. But rules are rules, and the law is the law. They can’t be changed, just like your street laws. So you are just going to let him be mad forever? The police station is no place for madmen. I’ll need to send him to prison as soon as possible. If he is really mentally ill, we will have to revise our charges. He can’t be sent to prison just yet. Detective Ding, this is Tianjin. Not Germany, where you stayed before. Don’t try to fool me with these restrictions and fetters. How about this, I will arrange a psychological evaluation for him immediately. If he is indeed pretending, I will definitely not go easy on him. He will be charged with additional crimes, and punished accordingly.
