In the fourth year of the Chui Gong era, Di Ren Jie serves as the inspector of Jiangnan. During a visit to Lin'an County, one of his jurisdictions, he encounters a complicated case. An old man named Meng Yun De accuses his son-in-law, Li Da You, of murdering his daughter, Meng Xiang Lian, and his son, Meng Yang. In turn, Li Da You counters that his father-in-law has hidden Meng Xiang Lian away with the intent of marrying her off to someone else. The conflict arose when Meng Xiang Lian, after a heated argument with Li Da You, returned to her parental home. Following her departure, Li Da You’s mother fell ill from distress, prompting him to invite Meng Xiang Lian back to care for her. He visited Meng Xiang Lian’s home and, after much persuasion, she agreed to return. However, it was already late, so she would wait until the next day for her brother Meng Yang to escort her home. Worried about his mother’s health, Li Da You hurried back that night. Days passed without Meng Xiang Lian returning. When Li Da You went to inquire about her, his father-in-law claimed they had already set off. With both individuals missing without a trace, Li Da You suspected his father-in-law had hidden his wife to marry her off to another man. Meanwhile, Meng Yun De suspected that Li Da You had killed his wife and son. The county magistrate, Zhou Cong Shan, was at a loss and could only seek help from Di Ren Jie.
