Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West Episode 8

Misadventures

Su WuMing finds himself helping the magistrate do his job. Dugu is better with books than people. When questioning he starts shrieking and tossing things down to make loud noises to intimidate. He has no clue how to really be in charge of an interrogation and should only be the minister of a library. His actions are manic and he really should not be an official that has to respond on the fly to general public. This just really does not seem his skill set. The wife is called in for questioning. Even Su is taken aback at the doppleganger wife of dead coroner. She truly is a dead ringer for the young woman he performed autopsy on, QingHong. It is just eerie that she looks so similar and married someone with same name. They have caught a tomb robber and now trying to find the younger brother who is very suspect as Dugu’s murderer. Chicken Fei is getting into trouble. He talks first and then thinks later. His mouth had him offering Lu’s spear in a gambling game with antiquities. Fortunately for him XiJun And Lu proved the one item a fake and that all items and monies should be returned to owners. Chicken Fei blames it on insufficient food and poor quality wine. Su and Dugu pay a visit to coroner’s mom. She looks haggard and borderline catatonic and nothing like the professional that showed up for autopsy. She is convinced that the tomb traps had nothing to do with her son’s death and wanted them to find killer. Chun Tiao is acting crazy according to mother. The one outed tomb robber has been kicked out of the group he was aligned with. There is also a food seller who is shunned because his parents were executed for the crime of tomb robbing. The amusing part of this episode was the sheriff fill in bragging about all the work he had done with the famous Su WuMing, all while looking down and being snide to the actual man.😝 I am curious if Su is going to stick it out here til end of case, or run outa Dodge while he can.
