30 Days of Guardian Day 2: Favourite case

The one with the ultrasound noises and the little girl and the wedding and the mind-control... good thing this question isn't "most coherent case" XD But it facilitates so many excellent scenes, including Shen Wei being super badass, Zhao Yunlan being clever, super awkward conversations, and Shen Wei coughing blood.

Also I really liked it for Zhao Yunlan being unhappy with both Shen Wei and the Envoy for different reasons (even though he was pretty sure by then that they were the same person). He really didn't want the Envoy to arrest the little girl and it was *such* a relief (for him and the audience) to afterwards know that mercy was being shown.

Also! This case arc had Zhao Yunlan touching the Awl and then swooning in Shen Wei's arms *and* Shen Wei being unhelpful to the cause of science by messing up Lin Jing's scan. Which weren't really related to the case I guess other than Zhu Jiu being related to the case in a very nebulous sort of way. It's a good job I wasn't watching this show for the cases, really.
