Mysterious Lotus Casebook Episode 2

During the gathering of young disciples participating in the Recognition of Youth ceremony, several of them suddenly get engulfed in flames and suffer severe injuries, except for Wang Fu who remains unharmed. Fang Duo Bing accuses Lingshan Sect of malicious intent, but Lingshan Sect fires back, suspecting Fang Duo Bing's involvement. As the two sides argue, Li Lian Hua skillfully claims to possess the ability to resurrect the dead, using his words to probe the true intentions of the sect's leader. Examining the note left by the sect's master, Li Lian Hua exposes the secret behind Qingshan Sect Leader's public transformation into a "golden body" . He also identifies the gesture Wang Qingshan used with "Turtle Breath Technique" to fake his death. That night, Lian Hua is alone with the "golden body" in the Spirit Hall, and at midnight, the "golden body" starts moving and writes on paper. Outside the Spirit Hall, several pairs of eyes are fixed on the scraps of paper Lian Hua intentionally burned. The next morning, the young disciples hand in their answers, most writing "he" (congratulations), except for Wang Fu who writes "Helan." Wang Fu candidly admits he turned in a blank paper, leaving Lingshan Sect extremely displeased. Li Lian Hua shakes his head and explains the mechanism he used. After everyone is left dumbfounded, they wonder why Li Lian Hua is playing tricks. With a serious expression, Lian Hua explains his actions were aimed at finding the culprit who murdered their leader and goes on to narrate Qingshan's staged death. The truth is revealed: Housekeeper Pu Er huang is Wang Fu's biological father but is also a remnant of the Jinyuan Alliance. He intended to kill the leader, support Wang Fu to inherit the leadership, and reap profits behind the scenes. The case is solved, but Li Lian Hua secretly meets with Pu Erhuang once again. It turns out, Li Lian Hua's purpose in coming to Jiazhou was to find out the whereabouts of his senior brother, Shangu Dao's body. However, Pu Erhuang remains tight-lipped and even attempts to attack Li Lian Hua. Fang Duo Bing arrives just in time and kills Pu Erhuang with a single strike. Li Lian Hua takes his leave directly after that. (Source: Chinese = Baidu || Translation = kisskh)
