上集答案：凶手就是那位撒谎的助手，他将冰刀藏在热水瓶中带进了浴室，并在作案后将冰刀丢进浴池的热水中将凶器融化掉。因为冰刀是低温的，所以也造成了伤口周围呈紫红色。

Once Detective Li and Xiao You had arrived back at the station it was already 10pm.
刚进办公室的门，大家就发现在白板的醒目位置贴了一张纸和一张照片。照片上的男人看起来四五十岁，穿着很时髦。
gāng jìn bàngōngshì de mén，dàjiā jiù fāxiàn zài báibǎn de xǐngmù wèizhi tiē le yī zhāng zhǐ hé yī zhāng zhàopiàn。zhàopiàn shàng de nánrén kàn qǐlái sì wǔ shí suì，chuānzhuó hěn shímáo。
As soon as they walked in the office they noticed that a piece of paper and a picture had been pasted on the whiteboard where everyone would see it. In the picture was a man wearing fashionable clothing who looked to be about 40 or 50 years old.
“这个人叫宋五木，是个毒贩，听说有很多情人。”同事王强指着照片说：“我们的线人报告说，宋五木最近出了很多货，包括摇头丸和K粉。而且据说，他的上家是他的老情人刘姐。”
“ zhè ge rén jiào Sòng Wǔmù，shì ge dúfàn，tīngshuō yǒu hěn duō qíngrén。” tóngshì Wáng Qiáng zhǐ zhe zhàopiàn shuō：“ wǒmen de xiànrén bàogào shuō，Sòng Wǔmù zuìjìn chū le hěn duō huò，bāokuò yáotóuwán hé K fěn。érqiě jùshuō，tā de shàngjiā shì tā de lǎo qíngrén Liújiě。”
“That’s Song Wumu. He’s a drug dealer. I’ve heard that he has a lot of different girlfriends too.” Their colleague Wang Qiang was pointing at the picture and continued, “Our informant has reported that Song has moved a lot of product lately – including ecstasy and ketamine. Also, they say his supplier is actually his girlfriend of a long time, Ms. Liu.”
“刘姐？”小尤好像想起了什么，“是不是通缉令上的刘梅？”
“ Liújiě？” Xiǎo Yóu hǎoxiàng xiǎng qǐ le shénme，“ shì bu shì tōngjīlìng shàng de Liú Méi？”
“Ms. Liu?” Xiao You seemed to have just realized, “Is that the same Liu Mei wanted for arrest?”
