The Love Lasts Two Minds (Past Life and Life / Liang Shi Huan / Happiness Over Two Lifetimes / 两世欢)

This is Xiaoyu's bracelet.

I've checked her palm.

Although she tried to hide it,

it wasn't hard to see

the callus from using a sword.

Oh, yes.

I'm not familiar with the customs

of Yong State.

Is there any organization

that removes victims' pinkies?

Removes pinkies?

In recent cases,

all victims' pinkies were missing.

Only Shadow Guardians

take pinkies as proof of finishing a task.

So, all these crimes

were committed by Shadow Guardians?

Any ideas?

No.

I've never heard of such a thing.

Keep an eye on Floral House.

Maybe we can find some clues there.

Yes.

I guess

we are getting closer

to the man who wants to kill me.

Mu Beiyan! Stop right there!

Constable Yuan.

Yuan.

I'm here.

Don't try to run!

You know kung fu?

Well Mu Beiyan, are you drunk

or are you mad?

How could I be a constable

without kung fu?

This is not right.

That's why I told you

that I'm not Yuan Qingli.

What are you looking at?

Something precious.

You can't see it.

It's just a pouch with two lovebirds.

I didn't know you were so attached.

It's... absurd!

It's ridiculous!

Disgraceful!

Really disgraceful!

I mean this pouch.

The embroidery is disgraceful.

It's so immoral!

Maybe it's related to the case.

I'll impound it in the office.

You said you'd keep watch over me.

If you don't do it,

I'll run away.

I'm leaving!

Wait!

I,

I forgot to feed my cat.

I'll go feed it now.

Mr. Zhao,

the officer recommended

by Princess Shengning's husband is here.

He's waiting outside.

I see.

You are brilliant, Master.

After Princess Shengning died,

the authority to recommend officers

is now in your hands.

Princess Shengning was an old witch.

She was smarter than I expected.

She predicted my intentions

and wrote a letter to Prince of He.

I wonder where Xiaoyu hid the letter.

We must find it.

Silly girl.

She really has guarded me all night.

Mu Beiyan!

What are you doing!

I was just trying to warn you.

Your cat does not look well.

Is it hungry?

Kitty,

are you hungry?

Itchy?

Let me scratch it for you.

I'm itchy too.

Come on.

Scratch my back for me.

I...

Alright.

That's enough.

Look at me.

Ever since I met you in Qinhe,

I've had bad luck.

You hit me again and again,

and now suddenly I've become a suspect.

I must be the unluckiest guy in the world.

You are too frivolous.

You asked for it.

Whether you are a murderer or not,

you must have a clear idea.

Of course, I'm clear about it.

In fact, you also trust me,

and know I'm not the murderer, right?

No, I don't.

Kitty, come.

You hungry?

You are so kind to a cat,

yet so cruel to me.

I bought some fish.

How could we

trouble you to feed Yuan's cat?

This is also his cat.

I told you,

if you want me to keep it,

I would keep it.

But if you don't,

then I wouldn't keep it.

You approved it,

that's why it's here.

Did I tell you to keep it?

You didn't say no, so I took it as a yes.

You don't want to feed Yuan's cat?

Then let me feed it for you, okay?

You stay out of it.

Come, eat your fish!

Kitty!

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

The cat is dead.

I said it didn't look well.

Maybe

it had been sick for days.

Or maybe,

it died of old age.

I didn't poison it.

You,

you brought the fish.

Maybe you poisoned it.

Blood?

It doesn't seem like it.

It reeks.

I get it.

What do you mean by that?

Yuan.

I didn't poison your cat.

The cat is the key to solving the case!

Follow me.

Ding Cao,

watch over Mu Beiyan.

Yes.

Hey, my lord.

Did the stench on the latch you noticed

smell like this?

Yes.

But it smelled even worse.

This is fish guts.

That day,

what I smelled was

the smell of rancid fish guts.

How could

it get on the latch?

I deduced,

in the food of Mu Beiyan and Xiaoyu,

there were knockout drops.

As Mu Beiyan said,

after one cup of wine,

he passed out

until Mr. Li woke him up next morning.

Therefore,

although Mu Beiyan was present,

he knew nothing about it.

But if Mu Beiyan is not the murderer,

how did the murderer enter the room?

And how did he leave?

That night,

Mu Beiyan visited Xiaoyu,

and then they had food

laced with knockout drops.

Mu Beiyan was drunk before he arrived,

so he lost consciousness immediately.

Xiaoyu didn't eat much,

so she was still conscious,

but her body went limp.

When she realized that something was wrong

and wanted to run away,

the murderer arrived.

What do you want?

He sent you here, right?

Please.

I'm pregnant right now.

Please let me go.

Wake up!

Mu Beiyan!

After killing Xiaoyu,

in order to cover his trail,

the murderer set it up,

so he could leave the crime scene
