Episode Summary
The investigation intensifies as evidence links Gao Weiyuan to the bomb plot, while brothers Shen Ye and Shen Yi engage in thinly veiled mutual suspicion. A hidden drug lab exposes Han’s Group’s dark legacy, and forensics reveal victim Fan Yi fought desperately to survive—hinting at a larger conspiracy.
Spoiler Alert
The Case Heats Up (Literally)
Team Leader Wu Yong’s crew arrives at the bomb site to collect evidence, but rookie cop Mao Mao is too busy worrying about injured colleague Xu Tongsheng to focus. Jiang Li gives her a pep talk: "The best way to help Xu is to solve this case!" Meanwhile, Huang Qi sniffs out suspicious container fragments (because apparently, bombs aren’t chaotic enough). Wu Yong orders extreme caution—these fragments might as well be made of unicorn tears for how precious they are to the investigation.
Over at the hospital, Jin Chun tries to grill Wu Yong about why Shen Ye and Xu Tongsheng were at Ground Zero. Wu Yong stonewalls her with "classified info" but throws her a bone: "They’re both alive. Happy now?"
Brotherly Love or Deadly Chess Game?
Shen Ye texts Wu Yong a bombshell: "Saw Shen Yi at the explosion. Not sure if he saw me." Cut to Shen Yi visiting his "beloved" brother in the hospital. Their conversation? A masterclass in passive aggression. Shen Ye drops ominous lines like "Some endings are inevitable," while Shen Yi counters with "None of this would’ve happened if you’d stayed out of it." The tension is thicker than the bandages on Shen Ye’s wounds.
The brothers pinky-promise to quit the drama and live "normal lives"—right before Shen Yi "accidentally" makes Shen Ye’s IV drip bleed. As Shen Yi leaves to fetch a nurse, Shen Ye nearly tears up. Cue the world’s saddest violin.
Drug Labs & Daddy Issues
The cops raid a drug lab (complete with industrial-grade ventilation—these criminals get five stars on Yelp). Anti-narcotics officer Lao Wang connects the equipment to incidents from a year ago, but here’s the kicker: This lab’s too small for mass production. Enter Wu Yong, who discovers a secret basement lab. Dun-dun-DUN!
Suspect No. 1: Ex-con Gao Weiyuan, caught lurking near the explosion site. His excuse? "I was just taking a nostalgic stroll!" Wu Yong ain’t buying it. Suspect No. 2: Han Jun, new CEO of Han’s Group. When interrogated about his late father’s drug empire, Han Jun snaps: "My mom died because of this crap! I’ve hated drugs since puberty!"
Meanwhile, in Soap Opera Land…
- Fan Yi’s widow sobs that her husband was "forced into crime to feed our kid!"
- Low-level drug cook Li Si shrugs: "I just mix stuff. Don’t even know what it’s called!"
- Jin Chun nearly faints from hunger mid-autopsy. Prior to passing out, she deduces Fan Yi "died fighting to survive"—contradicting the suicide-by-bomb theory.
The Smoking Shovel
Shen Ye mails Li Dangui photos of… dirt. Exciting! Turns out, digging under Ducheng Processing Plant’s garden unearths a treasure trove of drug tools. Forensics matches the shovel’s fingerprints to Gao Weiyuan, and CCTV catches him planting evidence at Fan Yi’s house pre-explosion. Confronted, Gao demands his lawyer. Too bad this isn’t Law & Order—no dramatic courtroom monologue for you, buddy.
Final Verdict
This episode serves up:
- A bromance deader than Fan Yi
- More secret basements than a Bond villain’s Airbnb
- Gao Weiyuan’s "I’m just a casual arson enthusiast" defense
Tune in next time to see if Shen Ye and Shen Yi’s sibling rivalry ends in hugs… or homicide!
