Let’s dive into this tear-jerker episode where loyalty, loss, and long-buried grudges collide. Buckle up—it’s a wild ride in Licheng City.

Dachun & Xiaochun: Brothers in Silence

In Zhongxing fishing village, mute orphan Dachun (still waiting for his father lost at sea in 1990) stumbles upon Xiaochun, a fellow mute teen stealing groceries. After rescuing him from a beating, Dachun feeds the kid and learns Xiaochun’s tragic backstory: abandoned mom, deadbeat dad, surviving on scraps with his grandpa. Cue the found family vibes as Xiaochun gifts Dachun a stolen earring… and suddenly, we’re time-jumping to 2004! The duo’s upgraded from fishmongers to professional pickpockets on Licheng buses. But hey, at least they’re stealing together!

Guo Pengfei’s Heartbreak Buffet

Detective Guo finally tracks down his elusive flame Fang Hui… only to find her married to shady surgeon Jiang Jifeng (whose cornea-smuggling side hustle we’ve all been side-eyeing). Cue a very awkward bathroom discovery (two toothbrushes? A razor? Noooo). Guo rage-eats bread to avoid fainting (priorities!), then throws hands with Jiang until partner Li Hongqi drags him away. Pro tip: Never let your work crush marry a suspect.

Meanwhile, in Trauma Town…

  • Dachun’s Deadly Billboard: The mute thief gets squashed by a falling sign (suspiciously timed—cough gang boss Uncle Guang’s goons cough). Xiaochun and ally He Xiaozhu retaliate by torching Uncle Guang’s barbershop. Revenge: served flaming hot.
  • Runaway Teen Drama: Hua Jie’s daughter Li Xiaoli bolts to her grandma’s, sobbing about being bullied post-boyfriend’s arrest. Family bonding ensues over dumplings and guilt trips.
  • Li Hongqi’s Midlife Meltdown: His wife’s business debts land him in legal hot water. But who’s got time for court? There’s a missing cornea case to solve!

Train Station Takedown

Cornea smuggler “Cai Shen” stalks target Old Wu at the station, trips him with a water bottle (smooth), and—bam—gets hit by a truck mid-chase. Karma’s a speeding Hyundai.

Final Frame Feels

Guo tails Fang Hui to the station, watches her get pickpocketed (irony alert), and learns Jiang’s already secured the cornea. Cut to our brooding detective eating regret for breakfast.

Will Xiaochun’s arson spree backfire? Can Guo resist punching Jiang again? And seriously—where’s that cornea?
