Light to the Night Episode 21

So Close, Yet So Far

This episode does a great job conveying the often frustrating task of working through layers (like an onion) when solving a case. He Yuan Hang and He Xiao He follow in Ran's footsteps from 12 years ago, getting closer to the truth. There is a growing, ominous feeling as we get closer to the end of Ran's investigation. It is rather bittersweet to me how He Xiao channels the knowledge she learned spending time with Uncle Ran to become a competent detective in her own right.
