The next morning, Mr. Liu goes to the fifth-young master's bedroom to confirm the results of the autopsy. He asks the young man's father to bury the body and give the maid's family money. The young man tells him that his father taught him how to dissect a body and that he is lecherous and ignored his concubines, but he is accomplished in the art of the dissection. He says that if his father were still alive, he would like to make fun of him, but if he is dead, he does not mind making fun. He wonders why he felt uncomfortable when he heard his father scolding his father, and wonders if he might have done something else instead of dissecting a body. He tells the vice minister to call the maid and asks her to come and check the room. The maid is observing the room very carefully, and she notices that there is an empty kettle in the room, that there are servants slack, and that the water is always hot. He fills the water himself, and there is a watermark on the windowsill, on the cabinet, and on the shape of a crawling mark on the wall
