They present their demand to DZ who is aghast at the exorbitant amount. DZ says he cannot produce such a large amount since his wife controls his money and proposes 10 000 each instead.

YL quizzes CY on a random math problem from one of the books. CY says the problem is unsolvable. ZD panicks, thinking CY's response is false arrogance that would make YL scrutinize ZD even more. Instead, YL, a mathematical genius himself, discovers the random problem is unsolvable due to a misprint and commends CY for his clevwrness. CY genuinely compliments YL for discovering the problem is unsolvable. ZD is secretly relieved that CY ingratiated himself with YL, reducing the possibility of YL following up with the child who has video evidence of his murder of XJ's parents.

ZD accuses YL of suspecting him of murdering his wife, XJ. ZD preëmptively brings up the immediate cremation of his wife's body. ZD says he found condoms in his own house that were evidence of his wife's infidelity which pushed him to cremate her body before the traditional 7 day delay.

YL leaves, admitting to himself that all evidence so far points to ZD being innocent. However, YL still is suspicious of ZD being guilty due to the clear motive ZD has of killing his wife and in-laws: inheriting the entire Xu family fortune.

  1. Baltakatei: 2024-03-30: I do not understand why XJ does not simply move out and leave ZD if she fears for her own life and yet has enough family money that ZD would kill for. Is this a product of the author's culture in which it is unthinkable for a woman to leave her fiancé without their permission? It sure seems like it.
