00:00That man can't be trusted.
00:11Sure, but it only creates far more issues.
00:20More drinks. Keep the booze coming.
00:23Talk about a fall from grace.
00:25I'm not sure I can even finish my drink after seeing his sad face.
00:30I'm not letting it stop me.
00:40Thanks.
00:47How much longer are you going to sulk?
00:53I'm not sulking.
00:54You mustn't forget you still have responsibilities to see to.
00:58I understand.
01:00He doesn't understand.
01:03The Jinchi I know would never give in to such childish behavior.
01:07The Jinchi I know would never become so attached to a toy.
01:11These need your attention.
01:19It took considerable effort to get the details out of concubine Gyokyo, who was beside herself with laughter.
01:26You mean... they weren't?
01:28As payment for her guarantor, Lihaku was introduced to a star courtesan.
01:33Who knew that girl had such connections?
01:36Who knows what image the master had in his mind?
01:41Youth is such a scary thing.
01:44That said, he finished his work quickly that day, and left to meet with her.
01:50Only to find she had left for home with another man.
01:55It must have been quite a shock for him.
01:57I sincerely wish they would put a little more thought into these.
02:09There are many bureaucrats trying to pass bills that benefit them personally.
02:13In turn, my master's workload continues to grow because of it.
02:17Truly a pity.
02:18Master Jinchi!
02:27It's already after hours.
02:29Can't this wait?
02:30No.
02:31I mean, it's not about work.
02:33Please, sir.
02:39Sir Conan?
02:40Should we go?
02:42At once.
02:46Such tragic news.
02:47Perhaps I am at a loss.
02:49Apparently, some big shot bit the dust.
02:52Maybe it sounds callous, but I find it hard to feel anything for a person I've never met nor heard of.
02:59It was a man past the age of 50 who died from drinking too much.
03:03Seems pretty open and shut.
03:07If that was but the end of it, he wouldn't ask for the head lady-in-waiting to leave the room.
03:13Be honest.
03:14Do you think the alcohol's what really killed him?
03:17I knew he'd ask.
03:20If someone partakes in drink, they should know too much is essentially poison.
03:26Overindulging can result in damage to the organs.
03:29And excessive amounts in one sitting can possibly lead to death.
03:32It was a party for a group of peers.
03:35I heard he had several jars worth.
03:37That certainly would do it.
03:39But Sir Conan could handle his alcohol.
03:41This death seemed far too sudden.
03:47Conan was the name of the man who died.
03:49A dynamic warrior who could down entire jars of alcohol.
03:53He was also well-liked.
03:55Gaoxuan.
03:55Yes.
03:57This is the same drink served at the party.
04:03Real booze!
04:04As for the jar Sir Conan drank from, unfortunately it was dropped on the floor and the contents were lost.
04:09So, if it did contain poison, we'd have no way of knowing.
04:15It is as you say.
04:17He's acting meek.
04:19Must realize he's asking for the impossible.
04:22I prefer dealing with his usually shiny self.
04:26Then again, for a while now, Master Jinchi has been behaving more like a child.
04:30That's a rather unusual flavor.
04:38Like someone took a sugary drink and decided to make it bitter.
04:42What's wrong?
04:44It certainly has a distinct taste.
04:46I know.
04:47It's sweet, right?
04:48That's how Master Conan liked it.
04:51In terms of his diet, if he was presented with the finest smoked meats and rock salts, he wouldn't lay a finger on them.
04:56Apparently, he used to love spicy foods, but one day he inexplicably developed a sweet tooth.
05:03Every meal he took eventually became more like dessert.
05:06That'll give you diabetes.
05:08Do not spoil my nostalgia with reality.
05:11You're seriously having more?
05:13From spicy to sweet, huh?
05:16Were there any salty foods served at the party?
05:19Yes.
05:20There was rock salt, mooncakes, and dried meat.
05:25Will you be needing those, too?
05:27By the time they're here, I'll be finished drinking the bottle.
05:30That's not quite what I meant.
05:32Can you get the jar that Master Conan was drinking from?
05:35As I've already mentioned, it's been shattered.
05:38That'll be fine.
05:41Oh, yeah.
05:47Right.
05:48There's one thing I want you to look into.
05:55Excuse me.
05:56Here's the report.
06:02I appreciate your help.
06:08As I thought.
06:11Here's the bottle.
06:12Are you sure it's safe to lick that?
06:22Unfortunately, there's no poison.
06:30Salt?
06:31That is correct.
06:33Master Conan didn't seem to mind.
06:35You mentioned he developed a sweet tooth out of the blue, and from then on would only eat sugary foods.
06:41Yes.
06:42Funny.
06:43Because the jar contained so much salt, crystals were left behind when it dried.
06:47While it's essential for the human body, too much can be poisonous.
06:55He died from this?
06:56That part's not surprising.
06:59Taking into account how much he drank and the amount in the jug, I'd say this was the cause.
07:04Fine, but the man still should have been able to tell if the flavor was off.
07:09Sadly, he wasn't able.
07:10Please take a look at this.
07:12It's a report listing the details of Master Conan's lifestyle.
07:16Well, judging from what's written, it seems at some point, Master Conan lost his ability to taste salt.
07:24That can't be.
07:26By all accounts, Conan was a serious and skilled bureaucrat, with a personality that could only be described as stoic.
07:36But, many years ago, he lost both his wife and child to an epidemic.
07:42From then on, he buried himself in work.
07:44He only had two forms of entertainment, sweets and drinking.
07:49There's an illness that eliminates sense of taste.
07:53It's brought on by an unbalanced diet or stress.
07:56Sometimes people repress their feelings, and those repressed emotions lead to disease.
08:01So, who was responsible for putting the salt in the bottle?
08:06However much I want to help you solve this, it's not for me to say.
08:10Although, I can tell you there was also salt in the drink I had yesterday.
08:15It could have been put there by someone at the party who didn't enjoy sweet beverages.
08:21Alternatively, certain people might resent a co-worker who's too serious.
08:26Maybe they placed salt in the drink to get back at them.
08:30A harmless prank in their mind that turned out to be deadly.
08:32If Master Conan continued drinking without issue, perhaps they kept adding more, hoping he would notice.
08:43Gaoxuan.
08:44Yes?
08:46Understood.
08:46I'm such a coward.
08:51I've practically named the culprit at this point, given the number of hints I dropped.
08:56Then again, I don't want to be directly responsible for someone getting punished, either.
09:01You've been helpful.
09:04That'll be all.
09:05Sure.
09:07He's wearing an obsidian tassel.
09:09He's in mourning.
09:12Was Master Conan really a great man?
09:15Indeed.
09:16He had helped me when I was young.
09:17He looks like a regular person right now.
09:26I guess he is human after all.
09:31Oh, yes.
09:33Huh?
09:34Your prize.
09:37A bottle?
09:38Sorry.
09:39It's not the same kind as yesterday.
09:41Huh?
09:42Then it's booze?
09:43Don't drink it in public.
09:45Yes!
09:46Thank you so much.
09:53If I was expecting a little more gratitude.
09:56I'm not kissing your feet.
09:58If we're done here, maybe you should get back to your usual work.
10:02I bet he's slacking off.
10:04Better be careful or it might start piling up.
10:07I take my work quite seriously.
10:09What sort of work?
10:10Well, for instance, there is this particular bill.
10:14It wants to place a limit on alcohol consumption in order to protect the youth from becoming addicted.
10:21Drinking would be illegal until the age of 20.
10:24Well.
10:30I'm begging you.
10:31We'll see.
10:40It's not something I can decide on my own.
10:42Mr. Gigi!
10:43I'm begging you.
10:44I'm begging you.
10:44I'm begging you.
10:57I'm begging you.
10:58Doctor!
11:17This way!
11:26I can't look!
11:28Luckily for us, it's winter.
11:35She's still in good shape despite being a drowning.
11:38How can you look directly at her?
11:40Where was the body found?
11:42Floating in the outside moat.
11:44By the way she's dressed, she's likely a servant at the rear palace.
11:47I get it.
11:48That's why they call it our doc.
11:50It's just a shame this is who they have in charge of autopsies.
11:54Would you mind if I left this to you, little lady?
11:57Afraid not.
11:58I've been ordered never to touch a deceased person.
12:01There's some things even you won't do then.
12:03Master Jinchi.
12:05I figured you'd show up eventually.
12:07You seem rather comfortable around the dead.
12:10I grew up around them.
12:11The Pleasure District is only one street away from lawless chaos.
12:15So what's preventing you from touching corpses?
12:18My teacher forbade me from ever doing so.
12:20Some aversion to death?
12:22Not that.
12:24It's because humans can become medicinal ingredients.
12:27Given your natural curiosity, once you try it, soon you'll be digging up entire graveyards.
12:34You mustn't cross that line.
12:35Ever.
12:36Yes, sir.
12:37He's not wrong.
12:39Mm-hmm.
12:39Mm-hmm.
12:40What a rude response.
12:42Doctor, could you please do a proper autopsy?
12:44It is my duty.
12:49Eek indeed.
12:51Rather tall, hard wooden shoes.
12:58Bandages on one foot.
13:00Fingertips deep red.
13:02It must have been cold, lying in that water.
13:12The victim was a servant girl.
13:15By all reports, she seemed normal yesterday.
13:18And according to the guard, she must have climbed the wall last night and thrown herself in.
13:23There were no signs she was forced into the moat.
13:25In short, suicide.
13:27What's your stance?
13:28I can't tell you if she took her own life, but I strongly believe she couldn't have done it by herself.
13:34What are you saying?
13:36When you look at the wall, there were no ladders or other climbing tools used.
13:41The rear palace perimeter is at least four times my height.
13:45So making it to the top would be impossible.
13:48In most cases, that's true.
13:50What?
13:51Theoretically, being able to scale the wall barehanded is out of the question.
13:54Do you remember the affair a while back with the dancing ghosts?
13:59Concubine Fuyo?
14:00Yes.
14:01It always bothered me how she managed to climb to the top.
14:05So I decided to do a thorough investigation.
14:09That's when I discovered protrusions I can only assume were used by the builders.
14:12That being said, it would still be difficult for most women.
14:19Especially if your feet were bound like the servant girls were.
14:23As you know, our custom considers small feet beautiful.
14:26The practice isn't performed on all women.
14:30However, I do occasionally see the distinct walking style in the rear palace.
14:35But if it wasn't suicide, are you saying it's murder?
14:39I don't have the answer to that.
14:42Though based on the evidence, it's safe to assume she was alive when she fell in the moat.
14:47She must have clawed at the stone walls trying to climb out.
14:50When I examined her fingers, they were clearly bloodied and red.
14:53Was it suicide or murder?
15:00Taking my own life, the thought would never cross my mind.
15:14I'd hate if somebody killed me too.
15:18I wouldn't be able to test any more drugs or poisons.
15:21But if I were to die...
15:29What are you thinking about right now?
15:31The sort of poison I would choose for my death.
15:34You want to...
15:35No, of course not.
15:38But nobody knows when they will go.
15:42It is not something I want.
15:44But there are malicious third parties out there who would wish to cause harm to other people.
15:49Like Master Conan.
15:51We wander through life, never knowing when it's our time.
15:57That's fate.
15:58There's no way of resisting it.
16:00There's no way ofipping it.

17:30order. Was I too out of line just now? Forgive me. It's not my place to ask. I won't complain
17:48even if it's by hanging or beheading. You realize that's not going to happen.
17:54I am but a lowly commoner. My life is easily taken away over the slightest error.
17:59I would never do that. It's not about would or would not. It's more can or cannot.
18:07Looks as if I struck a nerve. Well, if there is nothing further, I will take my leave.
18:29Some time later, I heard a rumor going around how the dead servant was at the garden party
18:37where the poisoning took place. They found a will containing relevant content, so the
18:44case was closed as a suicide.
18:45I'm pleased to inform you the report you requested is ready.
18:56I recall asking you to find someone with burns on their arms nearly two months ago. It
19:01took you long enough.
19:03My deepest apologies.
19:04So, you have found them?
19:06Yes. It leads all the way to the Garnet Palace. The culprit is Fang Ming.
19:19Master, she's A-Duo's head lady in waiting.
19:24I see. You are free to go.
19:27Master, she's asked to pray for her.
19:38Master, she's in this world.
19:45Master, she's in this world.
19:50He's a beast.
19:52Master, she's in this world.
