Our gaze shifts to camera number 4, which was used an hour ago; that was the detective's (Yi Shiqing's) personal camera position.

As the camera pans, the first people to appear are Professor Yao and a male student (Zhang Yao). The two are 'arguing' about their thesis. Well, calling it an argument isn't quite accurate; it's more like 'playing little punches to the chest.'

The detective sighed at the decline of morality and was about to leave when he saw the female student (Qiao Xinhuan) again. She was sitting in her chair, holding up a sign that read "This person is currently grieving." The detective was both amused and exasperated.

However, he also noticed a detail: the female student's shoes had some yellow dirt on them, which she had brought from outside, while the crime scene was clean.

This person, pass.

Entering the next carriage, we found a couple arguing about their son. One was complaining, and the other was blaming himself. Even at a time like this, they were still arguing about their son. We'll pass on that for now.

The last carriage belonged to the two brothers. The two seemed to have a good relationship. The younger brother had just taken his medicine and was lying in bed as if resting, while the older brother was writing a letter. The great detective asked him who he was writing to, and the older brother replied that it was for his father, and he wanted to tell his father about what had happened on the train.

The detective then inquired about his brother's condition. The older brother looked melancholy as he spoke, saying, "His condition is much better than before. As long as he takes his medication on time, it can be controlled."

The detective examined the medicine his brother had mentioned and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with it, and the dosage was normal.

Pass for now.

Finally, there's the train conductor's carriage.

Judging from the train attendant's luggage, he was a very frugal person; he wouldn't throw away his clothes even when they were torn.

The train conductor gave an awkward smile, "I'm so afraid of being poor, I can't bear to throw it away."

The great detective glanced at him thoughtfully. Then, he noticed that the silk scarf on the train attendant was the same as the one on the female train attendant.

"Do you want to see it?" the train conductor asked with a grin.

"Of course I want to see it."

"Alright then." The train conductor was about to take off her scarf when, unexpectedly, the great detective called for a stop.

"This is what I want." Under the train conductor's watchful eye, the great detective opened the window and found a brand-new red silk scarf through the crack in the window. The tag was still on, indicating that it had never been given away.

The train conductor tensed up for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

The great detective smiled gently, his gaze finally settling on the watch on the table. Comparing it to his own, he noticed a five-minute difference in time.

"Alright." The great detective picked up the silk scarf, having already made up his mind.

...

As we all saw in the end, the great detective guessed right.

Why would a train conductor, who is used to being frugal, buy a new silk scarf? The reason is simply that the scarf is intended as a gift.

Finally, he used the five-minute time difference to create an alibi for himself.

Filming variety shows is a very arduous task, even more troublesome than filming dramas. Not only do you have to maintain your persona, but the plot also has to proceed step by step.

Xu Qian recorded two episodes of a variety show, which earned him half a month of free time.

Before that, Xu Qian was very concerned about when thunder would strike.

Since the Lunar New Year, the weather has been exceptionally good, with only overcast skies and light drizzle at most, and no sign of thunder whatsoever.

After several observations, Xu Qian roughly understood the flowering pattern of the Dream Flower – thunder.

In the past, Xu Qian vaguely read in some book that the thunder in this world would record many things unintentionally, and through some medium, at a certain point in time, reproduce a certain scene that it recorded.

The idea that dreams blossom is largely based on this medium.

But the prerequisite is that a mine must appear.

Thinking of this, Xu Qian suddenly had an indescribable thought...

A few minutes later, a teenager appeared in the room, wearing a bright pink Lingjue school uniform.

Xu Qian scratched his head, feeling rather uncomfortable. As a tough guy, he actually quite liked pink in private, because... it looked very comfortable.

But when he put the clothes on himself, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Finally, Xu Qian took out the clothes he had bought for Mei Tai before, changed into a random outfit, and then got up to switch his cultivation technique—the Ice Heart Technique.

In terms of internal skills, apart from Qi Pure Monks, characters like Qi Xiu, Wan Hua, and Xu Qian all specialize in healing.

In JX3, the Ice Heart Technique of the Seven Show Sect has another name—Thunder and Lightning King.

Sword Breaker's skill looks like it's being struck by lightning. I wonder if Dream Flower will recognize it. It would be best if she could get away with it.

However, it turns out that Meng Shenghua wasn't so foolish.

Not moving at all

"Alright." Xu Qian wasn't discouraged. It was something he had expected, so he would just wait patiently for the thunder.

"Knock knock—"

"Brother Xu, the takeout is here."

"Right away." Xu Qian switched back to his Kaleidoscope disguise before getting up and leaving the room.

Meng Ziqiu was unpacking something at the dining table. He had taken on a job a few days ago and had been out running around. He only returned this afternoon.

Just as he was about to take a bite, Meng Ziqiu suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, brother, Fifth Master asked me to tell you that someone specifically asked you to take action and asked if you have time recently."

"Who is it?" Xu Qian hadn't heard from Fifth Master for a while, ever since they parted ways at the hospital.

"I guess it's that Boss Shen. There have been a lot of rumors lately that he's recruiting people. With such a big fuss, it can't be wrong."

“I remember that person.” Xu Qian recalled that it was the boss he had met in the desert before.

"Fifth Master owed him a favor some time ago, so I'm just asking around for him. If you don't have time, that's fine, I'll just reply directly," Meng Ziqiu added.

Xu Qian did not reply immediately, but instead thought about his recent schedule.

Filming for "The Four Seasons: Spring" is still some time away, but the auditions Sheng Huai introduced are coming soon, and the film audition Zhao Wenkang recommended is next week. It's been quite a busy time...

"Do you know what it is?" Xu Qian thought to himself that he owed Fifth Master a favor because of Cha Hua Lao San's matter, and it would be best if he could repay it.

"I don't know the specifics, but it's said to be a Wei Dynasty tomb, built by someone named Zhao or something like that..."

Xu Qian became interested upon hearing this. The Zhao family, that supposedly very mysterious family?

"I don't know the specifics either. If you're really curious, you can ask Fifth Master what he has to say." Meng Ziqiu didn't know much. He would only consider going out to trade goods when he was broke or short of money. He himself didn't have any attachment to their trade, let alone any pursuit of it.

"Let's ask about the time first, and go if it's convenient." Xu Qian had a premonition that he would run into those three people again.

The author has something to say: I had a cold and fever a few days ago, and today I have an allergic reaction. It's really confusing. Maybe it's Mercury retrograde.
