The chapter opens with a flashback to the night of the gambling. The young man, who is now the son of the murderer, tells his father that he also gambled, and that he knows that his father will die soon. He asks his father to transfer ten thousand yuan to him immediately, so that he can share the time he bet on the outcome of the lottery with him. He also tells him that he will tell the police about the lottery when they return from the hospital. He then tells the boss that he intends to give him some money to burn down as a reward for his good behavior during the lottery. He tells him to burn some of the paper and then report the case to the local police station as a tainted witness.
