Qi Yuning asked curiously, "What's inside this handkerchief?"
Lu Yun said, "I took it out from between the nails of the corpse. It's disgusting."
Lu Yun wanted to throw away the handkerchief.
Lu Ze took the handkerchief from Lu Yun, picked out the things inside, opened the tinder he carried with him, and used the tinder to light the things he took out from the fingernail. A sweet fragrance came out.
Qi Yuning asked, "Is it opium?"
Lu Ze nodded and said, "It's opium. And Young Master Huang also has a strong scent of opium."

Lu Ze asked, "So it was you who came in and insisted that it was you who angered Huang Rui to death?"
Qi Yuning heard this and said, "Oh, there's one more thing. I just found out that Madam Huang is not Huang Rui's biological mother. When the former Madam Huang was pregnant with Huang Rui's biological mother, Huang Tao had an affair with the current Madam Huang."
Lu Ze asked Shen Nian, "Do you know the identity of that adulterer?"
Shen Nian shook his head and said, “I have never seen him, and I don’t know how he got into the backyard.”
