In this chapter, Caixin tries to explain to his mother why he is so upset. He tells her that he looks like his mother, and that the mystery of his mother's murder has been solved. Caixin asks his mother if she forgives him, and she replies that she does, but that she still doesn't know the man's true identity. She asks him how long he stayed in the house, and he says that he stayed for only a few days. She then asks him if he meant his father was the murderer, and Caixin replies that he meant the "baddie" who killed his mother. He then tells Caixin that he believes that Caixin's father is the murderer. He explains that the murderer pretended to be the king of the tiger kingdom so that he could be blamed for the murder. However, when he was stabbed in the assassination, he didn't reveal the fact to the public, so that would not confirm that the king was the killer. He concludes that they still need to verify the time and place of the murder and the injury before they can conclude that the "tiger king" was the culprit.
