Mother / daughter pears

After the dancer collapses there is another female body that changes from young and beautiful to ancient and mummified. This has the one officer convinced the other body must be the missing Madame Zhang. One policeman wants XuanYe to help and the higher ranking constable does not. XuanYe was talked into examining the body and sends Rabbit to get it. He sees BanXia and thinks she is following him. He tricks her so that she is locked in the morgue and he’s quite pleased with himself as he tells XuanYe. He has lost his cuteness with this stunt and I am glad he got the slap he had coming. 😝 I cannot believe BanXia was so stubborn in keeping quiet. She put herself in danger and then blamed the wrong person. She was successful in having XuanYe see the mirror in the right timeframe for it to still be a portal. He now believes her about her father and agrees to help. He gets so frustrated with her butting in, but at the same time I think he admires her courage and unshakable faith when she believes something. She is unflappable facing controversy and while impulsive in her actions, she is usually correct that it is something that needs investigated. He has warned her thoroughly and repeatedly of the possible consequences of dealing with demons and she consistently lets him know she’s all in no matter what. The next surprise is somebody has already taken the pear and a root is in its place.
