On May 1, the third season of the variety show "Let's Start Reasoning" was launched. The first episode started with the "Tuitian Food Factory" case, and the reasoning was about the live broadcast chaos hidden behind a factory that ostensibly produced candy.
The first episode is "Tuitian Food Factory". In this case, the members of the reasoning team, Bai Yu, Dilireba, Jin Jing, Liu Yuning, Zhang Linghe, and Zhou Keyu, respectively play welders, packers, chefs, electricians, stevedores, and security guards. These characters are involved in the bizarre death of the boss Tan Qian, and the investigation begins. All employees' work and pranks are broadcast live in real time, and the audience rewards directly control the development of events in the factory.

In the first case, the plot of "blood-stained candy" and other plots were used to allude to the chaos in the live streaming industry in reality, such as false sales, privacy infringement, an abnormal ecology where traffic is paramount, and even the malicious exposure of celebrity privacy.
As an immersive drama reasoning variety show, "Let's Start Reasoning" has reached its third season since it was launched on Tencent Video in 2022. The producer of the show introduced the common points of the three seasons with three keywords: "immersive drama texture", "urban fable" and "people".

"Mystery variety shows are 50% story and 50% people. When these two parts go in both directions, the mystery is more entertaining." The producer also said that the new season has new members joining, dynamic evidence collection is returning, and there are faster ways to tell stories and more empathetic script topics. The setting of the protagonist group is also different from hardcore mystery variety shows: the members who self-deprecatingly call themselves "stupid mystery group" are more like ordinary friends playing a script-killing game, which is real and joyful.
The producer shared that the relationships among the members of the mystery team are also changing. "They are all actors and well-known. They have no baggage or halo here. They return to their original state of playing games and exploring stories. They can get along with everyone very comfortably and relaxedly. They often make private dinner plans, and communicate with each other about whose birthdays are in the group. This is what touched our team the most."
