A friend under investigation, and whether he would be detained
A client asked if his close friend, under investigation for a sports scandal, would be detained. I cast a divination and went over the timing.
The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.

My best friend got caught up in a sports scandal, something to do with money, not a large amount. The authorities have started investigating him now. He wants to know if he will end up in jail...
我最好的哥们，卷入了一个体育圈的
丑闻，跟钱有关，但是不多，现在公
检法已经开始调查他，他问问他会进
去么……
It's connected to that well-known football scandal from a while back.
跟前段知名的足球圈的丑闻有点牵连

This is not an auspicious hexagram. The primary hexagram is Water Over Lake (Jie / Restriction). [redacted] [redacted] the pre-heaven and post-heaven positions overlap, meaning the person is pulled into the incident by someone else's report. The mutual hexagram has Zhen (Thunder) entering the tomb, covered directly by Gen (Mountain) — this means being taken to a fixed place for questioning. The changing hexagram shows [redacted], which points to difficulty getting out of detention, meaning being held in one place for a period of time. This is basically a settled outcome. The timing has two phases: one is the Ji Wei month, and the other is a month when water is strong — this winter.
这个卦不是吉卦，本卦水泽节，[redacted]
[redacted]先后天相叠，为事件牵连，有人
揭发。互卦是震卦入墓库，被艮卦直
接盖头，为进入一个固定场所问话，
变卦见[redacted]，基本是牢狱很难解脱
的，也就是在一处拘禁一段时间，这
个基本是定局了。时间上有反复，一
个是己未月，一个就是水旺的月份，
今年冬季。
Looking at the BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny), the investigation started in the Wu Wu month, and the matter will come to a head in the Ji Wei month — between July 6 and August 7, that is when they will call him in.
看八字，戊午月已经介入调查，己未
月就要应了，就是7.6-8.7之间，就要
找他
Client
My friend's friend has already been in jail for a few months.
我这个好哥们的朋友已经进去了几个月
My good friend was just investigated recently. Will he also go to jail? He only helped those people move some money through accounts.
我这个好哥们最近刚被调查，他也会进去吗，他只是帮那些人走了走账

Ask your friend if the investigation started last month.
你的哥们你问问是不是上个月开始
Before July 6, that is, when he started being investigated.
7.6之前吧，开始被查
This month he will have very little freedom, mostly being called in for questioning.
这月基本是没有太大自由，属于被问话
Client
Yes.

Before July 6.

But after autumn starts, things will get much better.
但是入秋了之后又好很多了
There will be a recurrence, though — it will pick up again this winter.
但是有反复，到了今年冬天，又开始有
Client
I understand.
明白

Starting from the Ren Xu month this year.
今年的壬戌月开始
When water emerges on the heavenly stem, the officer star is fully controlled; when the earthly branch Xu comes in and Zi water is exhausted, that is when the detention happens.
水出干了，杀被制死，地支戌进来子水一绝，就来牢狱
