Synopsis:

The investigation continues. Detective Zhong and Yang search Mei Bao's home to find things that may be clues. They find an entire closet full of expensive unused gifts. In addition to that, there is one LP and an unusual, uncomfortable chair. Yang follows the lead for the LP and discovers it to be worth a considerable amount (50,000 yuan, maybe even more). Realizing this, she sets up the buyer to start an auction for the LP to draw out possible suspects. Officer Yang overhears two of her colleagues discussing sexual assault allegations against Detective Zhong. Investigating Xie Bao Luo confirms his story and his alibi but Zhong still suspects him. In the second interview, Xie Bao Luo tells them that he was actually interested in a different girl, not Mei Bao. Throughout the episode, there are flashbacks to conversations Mei Bao had with Bao Luo. In one conversation, she told him about her difficult childhood. Her mother's many love affairs and their failures. Detective Zhong keeps on pushing Xie Bao Luo but he does not reveal anything new and instead becomes more defensive. It is revealed from Xie Bao Luo's nightmares that he possibly saw Mei Bao with another man. The unusual chair turns out to a design by an architect. (Source: Autumn carrot at MyDramaList)
