The Story of Renjie Di's Rebirth (Di Renjie Zhi Lun Hui)

[is one of the two Menaces told in legends.]

[Those destined to suffer a fate of loneliness...]

[but can instead spread the curse to those around them.]

[People will avoid being in contact on sight.]

[On rare occasion, help might prove to be a blessing,]

[yet that doesn't stop one from being cursed with disaster and agony.]

[The help received causes immense guilt for others have suffered instead.]

[Cursed by the Star of Solitude, life will be a journey of perils and woes.]

Welcome, gentlemen.

I am grateful for your visit.

I am grateful for your visit.

You are here too?

Who let you in? I should have his head for this.

Grandma Chang, please.

I am here to send Miss Yu Ruo my blessing.

I made a purse for her as a gift.

Huh.

Bah!

You are nothing but a jinx.

All those in your life will get nothing but bad luck!

We don't want your gift!

Get out of here!

But I...

Just go!

Go now! Leave!

Leave!

It's not me!

It's not me!

It's not me!

It's not me!

Miss Yu Ruo!

Yao Huan.

Ever since the battle at the Martyrs' Shrine,

you've been in coma for over a hundred days.

I promised you,

I will search the whole world if I must...

to have you cured.

I am right here waiting for you...

so we could admire the scenery and travel across the land together.

Back then,

the yard was full of guests.

A fragile girl like herself...

managed to kill four people...

without alerting anyone at the scene?

The servant was the closest to the entrance.

She was killed as soon as she entered.

Lord Chang and his wife died in front of the table.

They might have died at the same time.

Young Master Chang died on his own bed.

He was the last to die.

You are a jinx!

Leave this place!

Don't ever come here again!

Who let you in anyway?

Who let you in anyway?

Stop!

What is the fuss about?

Sir.

This is the woman,

the whole family is dead because of her!

Please arrest her at once.

Execute her.

You said the family was killed because of her.

What evidence do you have?

Sir!

She brings nothing but bad luck.

Whoever comes close,

as long as she is there,

nothing ever ends well!

My young madam took pity on her,

and now she is killed.

The whole Chang family is dead because of her!

Stop crying!

Get out of here!

Don't ever come here again!

You are beating an unarmed girl,

do you have no respect for the law?

Sir, I plea guilty.

It was me who killed Lord Chang and his family.

It's not Du Yu Ruo's doing.

Please arrest me.

Nonsense!

This is as far as you should.

I am a jinx.

No one wants to be near my home.

I am in charge of...

investigating the murder.

Since you admit you were the murderer,

I must get to the bottom of it.

As for the bad luck,

I...

never believe in superstitious tales.

Even if they are real,

I have a clear conscience,

I have nothing to fear.

Master Dee.

Thank you.

This is Hei.

Inky? This is your snake?

It could be a good companion for Bai.

This is the only friend I have.

I never got to know who my parents were.

And then,

I wandered to this place.

My foster parents took me in.

But a blight landed here,

it took both of them from me.

Who is Jiang He Sheng?

Who is Jiang He Sheng?

Who is Jiang He Sheng?

He was a doctor.

I met him on the market two years ago.

Then,

despite objection from his family,

he insisted on marrying me.

But in the end,

when he was gathering herbs at the mountainside,

he fell off a cliff.

Sir.

Now you know I was telling the truth.

I bring nothing but disaster.

Miss Yu Ruo was killed because of me.

On the wedding,

every guest saw it happen.

Du Yu Ruo killed herself with a blade.

But Miss Yu Ruo had a heart of gold.

She loved Master Chang deeply.

Why would she kill her lover?

It was my fault.

Because she took pity on me...

and took care of me,

that's why...

she died such a tragic death.

Master Dee.

Take me to the Court of Judicature.

I am willing to be held responsible.

I don't want Miss Yu Ruo...

to be branded as killer even after her death.

Please, stand up.

If you really do care about Yu Ruo,

stop thinking of yourself as a jinx.

Truth will prevail.

If she really was innocent,

I will give her justice.

Her name will be cleared.

Thank you.

The wound matches the blade.

There are no other sign of fighting on the deceased.

There is no sign of poisoning either.

Bai.

Did you find anything?

It's rhododendron molle.

What is that?

Rhododendron molle.

It's mainly used to treat rheumatic diseases.

But when extracting the essence and drink along with wine,

it will cause one to lose their senses.

So it was a neuroleptic.

Indeed.

This should explain why...

Du Yu Ruo was able to kill four people.

She drugged them before committing the crime.

Are you sure...

Du Yu Ruo was the murderer?

The four of them...

died by the same blade.

Du Yu Ruo killed herself with that very blade.

And the fatal wound...

was not stabbed in one strike.

The wound was caused by multiple stabbings.

So...

it could mean the killer wasn't strong enough to kill.

Wasn't strong enough?

Other than these five people at the scene,

there was no sign of another person.

Which means...

the most suspicious of all...

was none other than Du Yu Ruo who was likely the murderer.

Yes.

But,

why?

She and Master Chang was in love with each other.

The Du and Chang families are not in a hostile relationship.

It was the wedding she longed for.

According to Luo Zi Sang,

the last words uttered by Du Yu Ruo before she died...

was "It's not me."

What does that mean?

How should I know?

I am merely a coroner.

I inspect the corpses.

As for investigation,

that is your job.

Before I forgot...

I've prepared a medication with the Sage's Herb...

you brought back from the North.

Let Miss Xie try it out.

It could prove to be effective.

The weather has turned cold.

I changed your blanket with a thicker one.
