Archives: The Nanyang Mystery Episode 9

My questions, theories, and opinions about the events that unfolded over the course of 9 episodes:

Things have become increasingly complicated with the emergence of the twilight herb case. Zhang Hai Lou and Zhang Hai Xia were forced to part ways. And on this journey, Zhang Hai Xia's screen time gradually decreased, with Zhang Hai Lou mostly taking the spotlight. He had to face all the hardships entirely on his own or by taking ordinary people along with him.Let's move on to the fake cave located in the lower section of the ship. How did the underground temple inside the cave, which was originally situated in the Balai region of Nanyang, suddenly end up in Nan'an? In my opinion, these must be twin temples. Because there were similar incidents in other series of DMBJ as well.Wasn't Zhang Rui Pu killed in Nanyang by warlord assassins? Then how did he show up on the ship??Didn't Commander Feng—who forced people to work on the Panhua Reef and held the twilight herb—end up dead in front of his boss, Mu Yungao? In fact, they tore Commander Feng's corpse apart just to take the jar containing the twilight herb from his hands. So how did he show up safe and sound on the ship in Nan'an? Furthermore, Feng also told his boss, Mu Yungao, that all the soldiers on the Panhua Reef were poisoned and needed to be killed, and they were all killed. Despite this, they were also alive and on the Nan'an ship.Lastly, the ship set sail from Nanyang together with Zhang Hai Lou. So how on earth did Zhang Hai Xia, who went to the port after him, manage to catch up with Zhang Hai Lou's ship?

Chaos and destruction

Hailou's ability to create chaos from scratch is unparalleled. 😂 And I quite enjoy his duo with the "Cousin".But what was that final scene? Another hallucination caused by the poison, or actual Haixia's body? I can't trust what the Zhang brothers see anymore when they're poisoned, especially when one of the dead bodies for the third time is Ruipu's. 😯🫣I want to think that Haiqi has an actual plan for why she's not revealing herself to Hailou, and that it's not because she doesn't trust him. 🤨 Also, I wonder if the jade-stealing incident was something we witnessed from their childhood memory—the "Apple Theory", where the goal was to steal something from right under someone's nose without raising any suspicion. That's pretty much what happened with that jade, however, I am not sure if Hailou stole it or Haiqi herself. ☝️🧐🤔P.S. I could wish "rest in peace" to Steven, but I am not sure if he won't suddenly appear in upcoming episodes, alive and walking. It seems like death is just for visuals in this drama. 😏
