After receiving a call from Xiao Liu, Luo Fei quickly rushed to the hospital. Xiao Liu explained that the package was discovered by a nurse, addressed to Li Xiaogang and sent by Lin Ruilin, with the delivery address being the Jinxiu restaurant. The package contained funeral money! Luo Fei exclaimed, "The challenge has already arrived," and immediately took Xiao Liu to the Jinxiu restaurant.

On the way, Xiao Liu couldn't reach Lin Ruilin and wondered why he would use a delivery slip to declare war. Was it for revenge? Xiao Liu even mentioned the case of a serial killer abroad who left clues on mirrors or voluntarily sent them to the police station. Luo Fei explained that those were random crimes, but what they encountered was a specific crime. The delivery slip connected several victims, with each victim sending it to the next victim. The delivery slip was like a death notice! If they couldn't stop it in time, the killer would stop after achieving their goal, making it more difficult to solve the case.

Luo Fei and Xiao Liu arrived at the Jinxiu restaurant, where Lin Ruilin seemed to be acting normally, chatting with guests. After Luo Fei explained the situation, Lin Ruilin arranged for a private room and a table of food. Luo Fei carefully observed Lin Ruilin's every move as he ate and drank. Luo Fei showed him pictures of three victims and asked if he knew them, all while observing his reactions. When shown Li Xiaogang's picture, Lin Ruilin's condition worsened, sweating profusely, and eventually collapsing on the table.

Everyone had to send him to the hospital. Xiao Liu was surprised by how much Lin Ruilin ate, even suspecting that he had bulimia! The nurse explained that Lin Ruilin had only suffered from a stomach bleed and alcohol poisoning, with no danger to his life. He just needed to watch his diet and would recover quickly. This nurse had previously encountered a patient dispute, and Luo Fei had helped her. After explaining Lin Ruilin's condition, the nurse specially thanked Luo Fei for his help last time.

Later on, Luo Fei, Xiao Liu, and Wang Jing entered the hospital room where Lin Ruilin was constantly clamoring for food. Lin Ruilin became a bit calmer when he saw someone enter. Luo Fei asked Lin Ruilin how he knew Li Xiaogang. Lin Ruilin recalled that he had a batch of dogs to sell and Li Xiaogang's men intercepted his truck on the way, suspecting that there were dogs in his vehicle. It was only through the coordination of traffic police that the situation was resolved. Lin Ruilin also said that he did not know Zhao Lili and Yao Shuhan.

Back at the office, they discovered that the Golden Retriever downstairs from Zhao Lili's apartment was given by Yao Shuhan. Zhao Lili had also previously owned a dog that had passed away. They suspected that the connection between the victims might be related to the dog interception incident. They traced the traffic police from back then and the whereabouts of the dogs. The team split up to investigate the leads.

Lu Fengping came to the office again and showed off his credentials to the security guard. When he entered the office, it was empty. He was about to go into Luo Fei's office when Luo Fei suddenly appeared behind him and took him to meet Professor Ling. They also met Lu Fengping's senior brother, Xiao Xifeng, and Xia Mengyao, the nurse whom Luo Fei had met at the hospital before. Xia Mengyao was Professor Ling's new apprentice, and with his help, Luo Fei obtained a list of potential candidates who could perform such a complex hypnosis formula.

Liang Yin arrived at the rescue station and met with participants from the incident years ago. She learned that Zhao Lili and Yao Shuhan had also come to the scene to look for their own dogs, and that Li Xiaogang took advantage of the situation to raise the price of dog food. In the hospital, a nurse brought food to Lin Ruilin, but he refused to eat it and demanded pork knuckle. He even knocked over the food!

After analyzing clues from multiple sources and working overtime, the group arranged to meet with Zhu Sijun, a police officer who participated in the entire dog-catching incident. The next day, Luo Fei and Lu Fengping went to Zhu Sijun's house. According to his recollection, Li Xiaogang wanted to buy Lin Ruilin's dog, but Lin initially refused. Eventually, he gave in under pressure, and Zhu Sijun said that the matter was resolved through negotiation. Luo Fei also showed Zhu Sijun a photo of Zhao Lili and Yao Shuhan and asked if he recognized them. Zhu immediately remembered that they had also come to the scene to look for their dog and left soon after. After they left, Lu Fengping suspected that Zhu Sijun was hiding something and found him suspicious, but Luo Fei ignored his doubts and thought about something else. Under Lu Fengping's questioning, Luo Fei finally realized that they had overlooked a person named Tu Liansheng. They then arranged for Xiao Liu to investigate Tu Liansheng, and the investigation by Xiao Xifeng did not stop.

The two then went to the hospital to find Lin Ruilin. This time, they discovered a clue about Tu Liansheng. Lin Ruilin also mentioned that he did not pay Tu Liansheng for his services at the time. Suddenly, Xiao Liu burst in with news that Tu Liansheng had recently committed suicide, and that Xiao Xifeng was the inheritor of Tu's estate!
