In the story of "The Gate of Rebirth" episode 18, * * involves three major cases, namely, the theft of the ancient painting "Water Lily", the theft of the tears of the Moon God and the suicide of Wang Xue. Although there are generally only three cases, there are many incredible details and processes after each case. With the continuous investigation and cracking by the police, in the end, the police found that the mastermind behind these three cases was actually a man code-named "Mr." This man didn't appear many times in the play, but it was enough to leave a deep impression on the audience. Every time he appeared, he would lean on crutches, once wearing a dark suit and once wearing a white suit, but because he never showed his face, the audience doubted his true identity.
After the episode of 18, a new character Xu Zhengqing appeared. He has known Zhuang, the father of college student Zhuang, for a long time, and rented Zhuang's house after his father drowned because of stealing the ancient painting Luo Shen. Xu Zhengqing encouraged Zhuang to take part in tracing his father's theft of Luoshen step by step through memories, which attracted the attention of the audience. Besides, Xu Zhengqing's walking posture obviously exposed his leg disease. However, it is worth noting that there were two suits in the lens of "Sir" in the early stage. It is not difficult to find that Mr. Wang in a white suit is highly similar to Xu Zhengqing, while Mr. Wang in a dark suit is much thinner than Xu Zhengqing. Therefore, there is reason to suspect that Mr. Wang is not a person, and it is likely that two people planned it together. In addition, as far as the plot development is concerned, all the antiques involved in the case have been proved to be related to the southward migration of cultural relics. Therefore, it can be reasonably speculated that perhaps the dealer is not a thief on the surface, but plays the role of a protector in the southward migration of cultural relics, which is why Zhuang will part ways with his fellow disciples and be murdered by his younger brother.
At present, Mr. Xu Zhengqing is recognized by the audience, but the specific truth depends on the true story after the TV series is broadcast. However, according to the "Gate of Rebirth" crew, there are at least three versions of the ending of the TV series, and the final version to be presented to the audience depends on the audience's voice, so it is better to wait patiently. However, judging from the current plot development, it is still very likely that Xu Zhengqing will be "Mr.". It is believed that with the appearance of the ancient painting Luoshen, many details about Zhuang's theft buried in episode 1 will be uncovered, and the true identity of "Mr" will naturally surface.
