The next day, Miss Lin tells the court that the commissioner has always been fair and impartial, and that he will take charge of the case. The woman, however, is anxious to speak the truth, and the commissioner asks her if she knows that the five men who died in the mine the night before were murdered by their wives. She replies that they all died from poison, arsenic, and their wives were the murderers. She tells the commissioner that the man who increased their debts is the one in the court who is trying to silence the people in the courtroom. She says that the prince is made of iron, and it is a pity that he is unable to prevail today.
