Three decomposing female corpses were recovered from the back alley of Ping'an Bridge Night Market. They all had the brand name of the Red Star Factory on their right shoulders. Zhou Ye found blue paint left between the corpse's fingernails, which was the same color as the window frame at the scene of his sister Zhou Xiaoman's fall case. During the autopsy, Chen Dongqing coughed violently and hid an undigested metal piece.
Chapter 4: The fog of medical records
Zhou Ye reviewed the 2002 falling-from-a-building case file and found that Zhou Xiaoman was diagnosed with "postpartum depression" but had no birth record. Chen Dongqing sneaked into the archives room late at night and tore up a page of medical records, and was caught on camera. Zhao Guangkun sent an orphan to follow Chen Dongqing to a suburban cemetery.
Chapter 5: Night market sugar paintings
Zhou Ye accidentally encountered a night market sugar painting artist who repeatedly made "iron gate" shapes. After questioning, he learned that the artist was a mold maker at the Red Star Factory and said that he had seen the same iron door drawing ten years ago. Lin Sui's younger brother was kidnapped by a loan shark and was forced to hand over the club's VIP list.
