In this chapter, Hu-ming tries to convince his uncle to help him, but the latter refuses to listen to his pleas. He tells him that a friend of his has an accident, and wants his help. He asks if he wants to help the greater good, and the latter replies that he does, but that he will not do it justice. He then tells his father that he has just seen a group of people escorted out of the house, and that they treat the woman with respect. He says that the man who killed the woman was also killed by the same man, and they do not know him. They do not believe that he is the murderer, but he is a victim. They ask their brother william to make a call to the authorities, and he will return soon. They also tell him that they have to be very careful about the young man in the future, because he killed the murderer and called the police, and now he is in the mountains.
