Young Sherlock
Episode 27
You bastard! I don't have a son like you!
Mother!
Your Excellency, from the looks of it, Shenji is definitely not the murderer.
Why?
That night, Shenji and Li Runnan met secretly.
She realized that I was following her and knocked me out.
If she really is Tong Mengxi's murderer,
Then she could have easily killed me to prevent future trouble.
Then who is the murderer?
Who is it?
A mess! A mess! A complete mess!
Young Master! Young Master!
What is it? What have you heard?
What about what you promised me?
Okay, okay, I found her.
But she's unwilling to say anything because she's embarrassed.
I asked in many different ways before she remembered anything.
She said Zhang Tianshi has one distinguishing characteristic.
His left foot has six toes.
Six toes?
Magistrate Tu.
May we go to the records room and take a look?
Okay, let's go take a look.
Court adjourned.
These aren't it.
This isn't it either.
Magistrate Tu, why are your records such a mess?
You don't organize it by surname or time of event.
How will people find things?
Your Excellency, no one really looks for these autopsy reports, so...
Even if no one looks for them, they should still be organized.
Otherwise, when they are required, would we have to dig up a body?
Yes, yes. I will remember that.
Got it.
Li Haoxuan died at 26 years of age.
This is Li Runnan's father, right?
Yes, yes, that's him.
It only has his name, age, gender, cause of death, and where he died. There's nothing else.
How is that an autopsy report?
Even a menu at a restaurant is clearer than this.
Magistrate Tu, what kind of magistrate are you?
Your Excellency, I really didn't know about this.
Looks like we will have to say sorry to his father.
Look and see if it's this one.
No.
What about this one?
- No. - Look at this one.
Li Haoxuan. That's right.
But don't you think it's strange?
His wife and son are still alive. Why is there so much dirt on his tombstone?
Let's not worry about that for now. Let's do it.
- Sorry for disturbing you. - Sorry for disturbing you.
That's it.
Let's go.
One, two, three.
Er Bao, lantern.
Why does his left foot also have six toes?
It is him.
Could he really be Zhang Tianshi?
But Li Haoxuan's name is the one that's carved on the tombstone.
It should be Li Runnan's father.
If Zhang Tianshi is the one who died...
Where did Li Haoxuan go? Why would he disappear for no reason for over 20 years?
Li Haoxuan is the head of a theater group.
He will know a few theater tricks.
And Zhang Tianshi uses the ability to create gold to trick people of their money.
Don't you think there's a coincidence between the two?
You mean...
But there's one more point of suspicion that can't be proved yet.
Young Master, we're done looking. Let's leave.
Let's go. Cover it back up.
Help me hold on to this.
It's so late. You're not sleeping?
You're the same.
Don't mention it.
Mengyao went into the wrong room and slept on my bed. I couldn't wake her.
So I had to come out and walk around.
That Mengyao... to walk into the wrong room.
We can't blame her.
The rooms upstairs all look alike, so it's easy to make a mistake.
What's wrong?
Hey! What's wrong?
All the doors are the same.
Yes. What's the problem?
They're all the same... could it be?
Hand!
Let's go down.
It was her. Only she could have done it.
Elder, why are you here?
Young Sir Di, I remember now.
Remember what?
The third verse of the nursery rhyme. I had someone write it down.
Thank you.
Thank you, Elder.
Let's go.
Look.
Mid of July, send away ghosts.
The ghosts are sent, close hell's door.
Hell's door closed, sell the tofu.
The tofu rots. Scramble eggs.
Egg, egg cracking.
Inside a brother sitting.
Brother takes away the corpse.
Inside a grandma sitting.
Grandma comes out to burn incense.
Inside a woman sitting.
The woman comes out to call back the spirits.
She's hung on the tree and can't return.
The woman comes out to call back the spirits.
She's hung on the tree and can't return.
This refers to...
Shi Yan, Tong Mengxi, and Shenji are all Zhang Tianshi's illegitimate daughters.
Shenji is in danger. Let's hurry and go find Yuanfang.
- Qiu Yan! - Qiu Yan!
I'll go there to take a look.
The woman comes out to call back the spirits.
She's hung on the tree and can't return.
- She's not here. - There's no one.
Look at this line. This line.
The woman comes out to call back the spirits.
She's hung on the tree and can't return.
Tree? Where is there a tree around here?
There's one at the ghost temple.
When Shi Yan died, the leaf on her was from the tree at the ghost temple.
Let's hurry there and see. Hurry!
That's not Shenji.
Li Qing? Why is it her?
My lord, I have an urgent matter to report.
What is it? Tell me.
Adviser Zhangsun Wuji have been ill for a long time.
apparently Li Zhi has asked the imperial doctors to help.
It seems very serious.
- Continue. - Zhangsun Wuji is an important adviser.
The favorite adviser to the late king.
The old advisers all follow in his lead.
If he...
Only Zhu Suiliang remains.
This is an arrow at the end of its flight.
Are you so sure?
My Lord, you do not know
that it is currently the most important time for officials selections.
Many foreign officials want to enter the capital.
This is a good opportunity for us.
Your Lordship once told me not fight for the highest position,
but if we do not do it this time,
another person will steal our opportunity.
Then, everything will become difficult.
Then, we will follow your plan.
But you must be careful.
Zhangsun Wuji is definitely not as simple as he looks.
I have already planned everything out accordingly.
Your Excellency.
Have a seat.
Your Excellency, I heard from your servants that His Majesty came here?
Yes.
His Majesty personally brought an imperial physician here to come see me.
Why do you think that is?
I don't know.
His Majesty knows that I am still in good health,
but he still sent me tonics.
Why would he do that?
Is he trying to get on your good side?
I am afraid he is wanting something more.
Perhaps...
Your Excellency, His Majesty has always been calm and thoughtful.
Maybe he knows that he has no grudges against Your Excellency,
so he is trying to be friendly.
But it is hard to determine
if His Majesty is a friend or foe.
I will just sit and watch the rise of clouds and wind,
even if it begins to rain.
Your Excellency, you are brilliant.
But I've already seen the imperial physician.
I am afraid I can't continue this act much longer.
My daughter! My Qing'er!
Why is it you?
Mother! Mother!
- Why is it you? - Mother.
Why wasn't it me?
- Mom, don't get agitated. - Why?
I'm willing to die in your place!
My Qing'er! Why? Why did this happen?
Mother!
- My daughter. - Mother.
- Mother, don't be like this. - I'm willing to die in your place!
You must take care of your health, Mother.
- My Qing'er! - Mother.
Madam Wang, I am sorry for your loss.
Mother.
See? See? I told you to take me along with you.
If I had gone, maybe we would have caught the killer.
Be quiet, okay?
We didn't take you along for your own good.
I will definitely find the murderer.
I must avenge my sister! I must kill him myself!
My daughter.
Why wasn't it me instead?
- Mother. - I want to die! I don't want to live anymore! I can't live!
- Mother! - I don't want to live anymore!
Madam Wang, those who are dead can't come back anymore.
Be careful of your health. I am sorry for your loss.
Mother.
- You witch! - Mother!
- Madam! - Scram!
- You're so insincere! It's all your fault! - What are you say, Mother?
You unlucky thing! If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't have died!
Scram! Scram! I don't want to see you! Scram!
Don't say that, Mother!
I'm telling you, as long as I'm alive, don't even think about marrying into the Li family!
- Scram! - Madam!
Mother, don't say that.
Runnan, listen to your mother.
That Shenji has brought so many disasters among us.
Your mother can't lose you, do you understand?
Shengze Town has never been in such distress.
Ever since Shenji and her mother came here,
it's like the town residents have gone crazy.
Shenji, I suggest that you leave this town sooner rather than later.
Stop giving misfortune and pain to the civilians here.
- You must leave. - Go.
Don't push all the blame on her.
When we find the real murderer, everything will be clear.
- She's a witch. - No.
- She must leave. - No.
Everyone, do not worry for my case.
Maybe I'm just an unlucky person.
After Li Qing is buried,
I will leave this town, as you all wish.
I will never come back.
No! No!
Qiu Yan!
- Qiu Yan! Qiu Yan! - Runnan! Runnan!
Qiu Yan, I'm begging you! I'm begging you not to leave.
I'm begging you. I promise you that I will find the murderer.
I'll prove your innocence. Qiu Yan, don't leave.
I will definitely persuade my mother to let you marry me.
Promise me you won't leave. Promise me. Don't leave.
Promise me. You must wait for me.
Okay, I'll wait.
I'll wait for you. I'll definitely wait for you.
- Qiu Yan! Qiu Yan! - Li Runnan!
Listen up! I'm telling you, as long as I'm alive,
she will never marry into our Li family!
Mother!
My lord, what are your orders?
How is Di Renjie?
My lord, it seems you pay special attention to Di Renjie.
That's right.
The truth that I want to know...
He might be the only one who can solve it.
The commander's seal?
There are about 100,000 soldiers in the Jiangnan region.
I will leave this seal to you; you will lead them.
My lord, are we taking action immediately?
No, you have to wait a bit more.
After all, Jiangnan is still far away from Chang'an.
A faraway river cannot quench desperate thirst.
You just need to cooperate.
My ultimate goal is not to become a ruler of a remote area.
I want the whole Tang territory.
I understand.
My Lord, you want Di Renjie to help us find the commander's seal?
Not only that. I also want to find many letters, secrets, and the owner of the commander's seal.
Thus, we are not prepared right now.
Once we expose our goal...
My Lord, is the owner of the commander's seal our former Right Envoy?
I heard that Right Envoy is accomplished with both the pen and the sword, and he is very handsome.
In many aspects, he was better than Left Envoy.
Is this true?
There is no competition between the two.
Then, why did Right Envoy betray Your Lordship?
No, he is the one I trust most.
It's a pity... It's a pity...
Pity?
Actually, everyone has a weak spot.
His weak spot is women.
He can forsake everything for a woman.
He can give up everything.
Woman?
Alright, you all don't have to worry about that.
The most important thing right now is to keep a tight watch on Di Renjie.
I want to know all the details of the case he's working on in the small town.
Yes, my lord.
But I'm afraid the messenger pigeon will...
Then, pass on the message.
If they realize anything, they are to die!
Yes.
Come in.
- Brother Runnan. It's so late— - Brother Di.
I know you are very talented and clever,
so I'm asking for your help to find the murderer
to avenge my brother and the other two women
and to prove Qiu Yan innocent.
I will be forever grateful.
Whatever you want to say, you should say it while standing up.
Brother Di, please help me.
Do you really love Qiu Yan that much?
Yes. She will be engraved in my heart forever.
Then, if I suggest that you give up Qiu Yan, would you be able to?
I absolutely can't do that.
I swore that I would get to the bottom of this. I can't give up.
Come, have a seat.
Your father once was the head of a theater group.
He knew so many dazzling tricks,
but there is a rule in a theater group:
the audience cannot know the truth behind the tricks.
Once people know, the tricks will lose all its meaning.
Do you understand?
Brother Di, what do you mean?
I don't understand.
Why do we care so much for the truth?
It's the same reasoning as what I just said.
Brother Di, you don't know, but the truth is no longer my own business.
If I really give up Qiu Yan,
then my sister and those two women would have died in vain.
Furthermore, I can't give up Qiu Yan.
I must be responsible for her until the end.
Then, you are willing to give up everything for the truth, without regret?
Yes. I will not regret anything.
Brother Runnan, this is the choice you have made.
I promise to give you the truth.
- Thank you, Brother Di. - Don't thank me yet.
I need to borrow something from you.
Please tell me what it is, Brother Di.
I want three drops of your blood.
Three drops of blood?
I'm so tired.
All day, if you're not eating, you're sleeping. What else can you do?
Why were you so brutal in hitting me?
Brother Di, we've already waited so long.
Could it be that the murderer isn't coming?
That absolutely can't be the case.
Why?
The murder of your younger sister was a complete accident.
Her target is Shenji.
Your sister will be buried tomorrow.
Afterwards, Shenji will be leaving.
If she doesn't make her move tonight, she won't ever get a chance.
No. Qiu Yan is in danger. I must save her.
Don't go!
Quick!
Wait!
Yuanfang!
Yuanfang, are you alright? - I'm fine.
- Were you hurt? - Of course I wasn't.
Stop killing people.
This knife has touched enough blood.
If I'm correct,
this was the knife that killed Zhang Tianshi.
Do you want to repeat the same mistake today that happened 20 years ago?
Xiao Hu, what do you mean?
Didn't Zhang Tianshi disappear?
How could she have killed him?
Yeah, my father was killed by Zhang Tianshi 19 years ago.
What's going on?
We also thought it was weird. We had no other choice.
In order to identify the body, we did something very dishonorable.
We re-identified Li Haoxuan's coffin.
What? What did you say?
According to the evidence provided by one of Zhang Tianshi's lovers,
we found that lying inside Li Haoxuan's coffin wasn't Li Haoxuan
but Zhang Tianshi.
How is that possible?
If Zhang Tianshi is lying in my father's coffin, then where is my father?
Is he alive or dead?
If he's alive, why hasn't he come to see us for the past 20 years?
That's absolutely not possible.
You're right. It's not possible.
If Zhang Tianshi is the one lying in Li Haoxuan's coffin,
then where is Li Haoxuan?
If Zhang Tianshi is dead,
then is Li Haoxuan still alive?
Actually, we're all wrong.
Both of them have been dead long ago.
They died 19 years ago.
Li Haoxuan and Zhang Tianshi are the same person.
That's impossible! That's absolutely impossible!
I know you've always thought that Zhang Tianshi killed your father.
It's hard to accept this.
Brother Di, what nonsense are you saying?
How can you prove that Zhang Tianshi is my father and that my father is Zhang Tianshi?
Brother Di wanted three drops of your blood
to do this blood test.
Brother Runnan, you are the dead Li Haoxuan's...
in other words, Zhang Tianshi's biological son.
Without a doubt.
How is that possible?
That's not possible.
After the collapse of the theater group,
Li Haoxuan brought his wife to this town, Shengze.
- Brother Haoxuan. - Hello.
- Hello Brother Li. Hello. - Haoxuan.
- Bro. - Are you shopping?
- Hello, Uncle. - Hello.
-What is that? - This?
Here, take a look and see if there's anything you like.
Do you like that?
- Yes. - If you like it, then take it and play with it.
That's not necessary. We're from the same village, and he likes it.
Just let him keep it and play with it.
Hurry and thank him.
- Thank you, Uncle! - Good boy.
Go play.
Li Haoxuan was a very modest man in town.
And he had a good temperament, so everyone in town liked him.
But even though he disguised himself as a kind and simple civilian,
there was another side of him.
Disguising himself as Zhang Tianshi not only brought him wealth
but also women.
Through lies to cure disease and other things
as well as his handsome face,
he preyed on countless women,
including those from the most powerful families in town.
That power brought pride Li Haoxuan never had.
So unconsciously as he simultaneously played these two roles,
he became more and more engrossed in it.
You're spouting nonsense!
Di Renjie, you're clearly framing my father.
My father is definitely not that kind of person! Absolutely not!
Brother Runnan, I remember you telling me that
no matter what the truth is,
you wouldn't care at all.
Fine. You say that my father is Zhang Tianshi.
Then how do you explain my father's death?
My father didn't commit suicide! He was murdered!
Tell me!
Good question. The person who killed your father is someone who knows the entire truth.
She knows Li Haoxuan was Zhang Tianshi, cheating people of money and their women.
So she followed him to the temple, but discovered that,
Li Haoxuan was planning to secretly elope with another woman.
In anger, she murdered her husband.
Granny, you were the murderer from 19 years ago, right?
I should call you Madam Wang.
Mother.
Madam Wang?
That's right. I did all of this.
I kept trying to convince Haoxuan not to keep doing this.
But it was of no use, nothing changed.
He liked the feeling of possessing things.
He wanted, through possessing money and different women,
to fulfill all his desires.
He liked the feeling of being seen and respected as a god even more.
He was completely mad,
unable to return to his normal life.
Can we just live a peaceful and normal life together? Haoxun, I'm begging you!
I'm begging you, Haoxuan!
Stay out of my matters.
Haoxuan! Haoxuan!
Think about me and the children.
I'm begging you, Haoxuan! I'm begging you!
I told you to stay out of my matters! Go away!
He not only went around cheating people of their money and having different women.
The thing that I couldn't accept was that he fell in love with Miaozi.
Miaozi, I love you.
I want to leave with you. Will you leave with me, Miaozi?
Yes. Of course I'm willing to... but you have a wife.
Miaozi, I don't care about anything else.
I don't need anything else. I can give up everything else.
Wait for me. Wait for me to get all my money from home.
I... all I want is you, Miaozi.
I only want you. I just want to leave with you. I don't care about anything else.
Miaozi, I don't care about anything else. I just want to leave with you.
It was at that time...
I made the decision to kill him.
I would kill that unfaithful man.
What are you doing?
Why is it you? What are you doing here?
I'm asking what you're doing. What are you doing with all that money?
I'm going to leave with Miaozi. I'm going to take all the money with me.
You're really not hiding it anymore, are you?
What right do you have to say that?
What about me and my son? What are we to do?
You're not afraid that I'll expose you?
Expose me?
If you expose me, how will our son live?
You're really set on leaving.
Yes, I will leave with Miaozi. I don't even need the money!
I just need Miaozi!
Fine.
If you want to leave with that bitch, I'll give you my blessings!
He's dead. You killed him.
Let me ask you. Is your husband Li Haoxuan Zhang Tianshi?
What are we going to do? We got tricked!
I can't believe the honest Li Haoxuan is the trickster Zhang Tianshi!
- Granny! I'm begging you! - What is it?
Please don't tell anyone about this!
I'm begging you, Granny!
I killed him to rid everyone of this evil.
Even if you tell me to die, it's fine.
But Runnan is still young.
I don't want others to look down on him.
Granny, I'm begging you! Granny!
Granny!
Granny! If you don't think that's dirty, you can take all of it!
But I'm begging you not to tell anyone!
But Li Haoxuan, a live grown man, just disappeared like that!
If anyone asks you about it, what are you going to say?
Li Haoxuan disappeared. Zhang Tianshi disappeared too.
In that case...

Di Renjie has solved that case.
Then was my thing found?
Recently, I had an ominous premonition.
Recently, I heard some slanderous rumors.
They say my court officials are forming alliances for personal gain.
Why don't we use this opportunity to show him not to mess with us?
Our lord wants me to tell you something.
Our lord wants me to tell you that that person isn't reliable.
Our lord fears he may cause us trouble and would like you to clear up the mess.
I understand.
