Zhang Haiyan pretended to be Steven and approached Miss Dong

《Southern archives》Episode 9 begins with Zhang Haiyan and He Jianxi being hunted down.The two evaded all the way, and finally sneaked into Steven's room to hide temporarily.Zhang Haiyan restrained Steven and treated the wound first, then discovered that Steven had Miss Dong's prom invitation in his hand.He immediately realized that this was an opportunity to get close to Miss Dong.Whether the Nan'an should turn around, how to deal with the killer on the ship, and why the archives agent disappeared, these questions may all be related to Miss Dong.Zhang Haiyan decided to pretend to be Steven to attend the dance, and used the portrait of the killer he drew in exchange for Miss Dong.

Warner is also preparing to use the dance to test Miss Dong.He brought his jade collection with him and wanted to change the customs clearance documents. His words contained both cooperation and threats.Zhang Haiyan put on a mask and sneaked into the dance, seemingly calm, but in fact he was always looking for opportunities to speak.In the box, Warner negotiated with the jade, but Miss Dong had a cold attitude and was not in a hurry to accept it.Before Zhang Haiyan handed over the portrait as planned, Miss Dong had already figured out that he was fake Steven and suddenly took a test.The two fought from the box to the ballroom. Zhang Haiyan discovered that her skills and judgment were far superior to those of ordinary businessmen's daughters, so he had to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Miss Dong did not tell the whole truth directly, but instead framed Zhang Haiyan for stealing Warner's jade and ordered the entire ship to be grounded and searched.The Nan'an was in chaos as a result, but she also took advantage of the chaos. The musketeers uncovered many killers while searching the ship.Zhang Haiyan returned to Steven's room and wanted to take He Jianxi away, but found that He Jianxi had been controlled by Warner and Steven.He had to rescue people again.In episode 9, disguise, negotiation, search and rescue are constantly intertwined. Zhang Haiyan failed to return the ship immediately, but instead involved Miss Dong, Warner and the killer camp into the same open conflict.

Miss Dong's handling in this episode is very thought-provoking.She clearly saw through Zhang Haiyan, but she didn't simply hand him over to Warner or Steven. Instead, she used the stolen jade as a reason to search the entire ship.This decision not only protected her own identity, but also allowed her to clean up the potential killers.Zhang Haiyan realized during the confrontation that Miss Dong knew more than just business routes and documents. She reacted too quickly to the human skin mask, the killer's portrait, and the situation on the ship.After He Jianxi was arrested, Zhang Haiyan had to give up continuing negotiations and save the person in front of him first.Episode 9 did not reveal Zhang Haiqi’s identity, but through her skills and coordination, the audience saw her deep relationship with the Southern Archives, and it also allowed Zhang Haiyan to truly come into contact with a higher-level chess player than herself for the first time.The dance party changed from a social venue to an inspection venue, and the disguise on the Nan'an was also forced to be peeled off layer by layer, further exposing the crisis.
