In the middle of the night, Shuyin and the others are drinking. Shuyin tells the others that he is going to tell the story of the trip to the north of China to yongan. He tells them that he will tell them the truth about jinzhong's death. They are all drunk, and Shuyin asks the others to check on him. He says that he was in prison when they first met and that they were both in prison the next day. He asks Shuyin to call him lord inspector, but Shuyin says he is wrong, and he tells Shuyin that he has done him a great service by taking good care of him. When Shuyin accuses him of overestimating himself, he says he has always been on Shuyin's side, and that someday, he will be able to tell Shuyin the truth. He promises to give Shuyin a decent gift, which he says is the golden hairpin of lian.
