LIsten to the Plants — The Watering Can Clue

Captain Jiang, clocked out. Did I make it on time? All done registering. Waiting on the flow. Zhu You, you really saved us this time. How did you know about the basement and the second person?

Lucky guess. Really, just luck. They might have ties to a cult called Happiness Faith. If you run into any leads on that later, report it immediately.

Sister Youyou, why so early today? I'm off to the market to test these vegetables, see if they can still talk. Pick me! Pick me!

I'm plump and sweet. Grab some ribs and stew me up, delicious beyond compare. Pick me, look at me.

Four bucks, take me home. I've been lying here all day. Come pick me up. You sure know how to pick your spot.

Old Huang hasn't shown up. You're buying from Old Huang? He hasn't come by all day. No Old Huang means I'm just dumped on the ground here.

Don't move. This is all evidence. I've already called the cops. Old Huang.

Clear the crowd. Secure the scene. I saw it. But I'm thirsty.

Officer He. Got any water? He's about to kick it anytime now. Water.

Nice cold water. Murder scene, and she's watering veggies. You said you saw something.

What exactly did you see? I didn't see how it happened. I just saw someone dragging Old Huang into the trash shed.

Old Huang was the veggie vendor who didn't sell. Right, he hung me from his stall. I remember his smell.

Who threw him there? Male or female? How tall? What was he wearing?

Wait, slow down! I'm so dizzy. About 5'11"? Shirt, pants, shoes

all the color of mud. Oh, right He said one thing as he left. He said,

You deserve to die. You should've died long ago. Not random. It's personal hatred.

Don't worry yet. You're important now. Captain Jiang, I have a lead.

Next to the lamb stall, the one who didn't show? Weren't you just watering the greens?

It's a hunch. Just a hunch. Check Old Huang first. The plate number

can trace surgery records. The hospital replied. Just as Ms. Zhu said. The victim's name is Huang Yinshou.

So it was Old Huang. The killer knows the market flow, knows the cameras are down, and the trash bins.

When's trash pickup? I suspect he worked here before.
