Now that all the people involved in the fire have either died or gone missing, uncle boyang tells us that he's the judge in the whole thing. He says that his daughter, including the children, were all victims of the power and wealth of the Ming family. He tells us how lucky he was that he found out about his daughter's true identity. She was the last person to be recruited into the group, and her mission was to lead the Governor's secretary, jie wan, away from the place where the fire was set. Uncle boyang says that if jie is dead, then they'll lose all of their clues. They still have ming ma, if he is dead. He's not dead, he says. He knows who the real culprit is, and he wants to take revenge on the man who planned the entire thing. The old man says that he was only an executor, and that he thinks they should go to the city to find out what's going on.
