[Episode 1]

[Fresh off the boat : A]

[Ma Bo Yuan]

Where are you going?

To the office

[Ruan Meng Zhu]

To Paramount?

None of your business

Get out of the way!

Drive over my body

Don't challenge me

[Shanghai]

Finally, I'm in Shanghai

[Sullivan Apartment]

Thank you

Who is that? My name is Qin Xiao Man

We had a tele-conversation before

I want to rent a room

You want to rent a room?

Come in

The room is ready for you

Okay

Sullivan is my husband's surname

He bought the apartment for me

Do you know the Chairman of the China-Western Chamber of Commerce,

Dou Ma Li?

He likes it here very much

There are not many tenants in this floor

It's quite big distance between rooms

So, you'll have a good privacy here

This is your room

How?

Spacious?

The sofa set

was imported from England

Don't move

Your foot

You're wearing shoes

Don't step on it

What's this?

Nothing

Is there a murder happened before?

No

Keep quiet

Let me make a speculation

The head was facing to the door, the legs were facing to the windows

Windows

It's a hole on the window

The victim was shot by the murder

from the opposite building, right?

No

That's great

I want this room

Dear Aunt,

I'm arriving Shanghai

I'll report for duty tomorrow

I'm staying in Sullivan Apartment

which I told you before

The room is good

and the rental is cheap

But, there are not many tenants here

It's quite strange

Hello

I'm the new tenant next to your house

I heard

gunshots

from your house

You got it wrong

Off you go

You'll be in trouble when I get

the search warrant tomorrow

Hi, I'm here to report for duty

Graduate of the 3rd batch of Hua Dong Police Academy

My name is Qin Xiao Man

You're Qin Xiao Man?

Yes

I heard you're the top scorer of all the subjects

Distinction in criminal investigation skill,

shooting,

and wrestling

[Det Sup Savoy]

Not bad

What are you looking at?

Let me see

[Police Detective Ye Chang Qing]

The reporters were making craps

They claimed the municipality preferences males more than females

Now you see They sent a lady cop here

Study and practical are two different things

We will not pay to an idler

Understood

I'll try hard to improve my tactical experience

Off you go!

You have nothing to do, huh? I'd like to apply a search warrant from you

You need the search warrant?

Yes

The man who's staying opposite my apartment was suspicious

I heard gunshot from his room last night

You heard gunshots?

That's right

It sounded like a modified Colt M1911

There're 3 gunshots

The suspect is your neighbour?

Yes

A Chinese man

About 1.8m height

Around 30 year old and medium body size

He's like..

Be careful

Get off me!

Don't move

Get off me

Sir

It's him

It's alright

Alright

Qin Xiao Man, it's alright

He is our special advisor,

Luo Fei

Are you okay?

Special advisor?

Why did you aim Superintendent Savoy?

Please observe thoroughly

I didn't aim him,

but the wood behind

He used to do that and we get used to it

Luo Fei

Why did you shoot the wood?

Hey, rookie

Go and

look for the bullet

It's strange

No warhead

You made the warhead with sawdust?

To make the bullet disappeared,

you only need to make the warhead

with similar material with the target

To hit on wood,

you need to make a sawdust warhead

To hit the wall,

you need a brick-dust warhead

If you want to hit a man,

you need a bone dust warhead

Exactly

I have cracked the secret

of the ghost bullet

If that's the case,

you're doing

an experiment last night

Nonsense

Such a strong woman

Oh, my wine!

I don't understand

What it means by special advisor?

Are you a police detective too?

No, I'm a detective

The police station lacks of the case-solving ability,

so, they always need my help

on the technical assistance

Luo Fei, mind your words

She is Qin Xiao Man, a rookie

Graduated from Hua Dong Police Academy

Today is her first day here

She has a distant relationships with her parents

and grew up with her aunt

Her aunt loves her very much

She is

cheerful

and eager to show herself

How did he know?

Sir

What is the next case?

Nothing

-All minor cases -It's okay

Leave it to me

I'll find it out myself

A wife ran away from home

Her husband made a police report to find her

It has no news yet and she could be dead

She went missing for many days

Interesting

What makes it interesting?

The man said, when the last time

he saw his wife,

she's wearing a cheongsam

with yellow flowers and crepe-sewing, a pair of golden heels,

and wearing a pair of pearl earings

She's wearing a green jade bracelet on her right wrist and put on red colour nail polish

Anything's wrong?

You moved to the apartment yesterday

Do you remember

what did the landlord wear?

A purple off-shoulder cheongsam

and scarlet stencil-designed heels

She's wearing a pearly ring

Did she put on any nail polish?

Yes

Brown colour

You're wrong

She's wearing wine colour nail polish

You are

a professional police

Even you couldn't remember the lady you met yesterday

The man's wife

went missing for many days

But he could remember it in details So,

he might be a genius

Or

he's lying

Luo Fei, where are you going?

To investigate it

You only need to assist the police detective in the investigation,

not investigate alone, understand?

You mean,

I need a police detective?

Alright, I'll pick myself

Hey, rookie!

Come on

What you want?

You have a case now

Come with me

Wait

Anybody home?

Off you go!

I have told you many times

My master is not in

If you knock again,

I'll call the police

Uncle

We're from the police station

This way please

Luo Fei

Please come in

I'll inform my master

Alright

They are richer

than Su Su

They used to be rich before

Most of the grey sands

on the road is even-grained

But, they have recently added

some cheap grey sands

We're guest

But they didn't serve us drinks Apparently,

they have no others servants

beside the old man

I guess they couldn't afford it and

terminated all the servants

Look at the antique shelf

An antique shelf must be well-spaced

Look at the vases

All the pattern, colour and picture are repeated

Obviously, these are

all the owner has

They took out all the vases

for the facade

And they didn't change the broken vase as well

Hello

Bo Yuan is sick

You may talk to me

I'm his mother

Is he really sick?

Yeah

Since Meng Zhu ran away from home,

he has lost all desires for food and drink

and always hid himself

He has lost all desires for food and drink

But only eats the beefsteak of Richard Restaurant?

That's my order

Mom

Who's that?

Food delivery of Cai Zhi Zhai?

They are..

They're from the police station

Police station?

I met Detective Ye before

The case was sewed up

Don't worry

Mr. Ma

Detective Ye found your wife?

Not yet

How can you sew the case then?

Don't you want to

find out your wife?

No

I do appreciate your help

It's been a long time

we never hear from the you guys

We thought you couldn't find her

and lost all the hopes

How is the relationship between you and your wife?

Well...

They're so young

Quarrel was just

a small thing for them

Right?

Did you guys quarrel on the day

she ran away from home?

She was not sensible

Always wanted to go back to her parents

After Ruan Meng Zhu went missing,

you guys have been waiting her news at home, right?

Yes

3 days ago,

I went to worship my father

We hope he could help us

to find Meng Zhu as soon as possible

That's right

Mrs. Ma

We'd like to talk to Mr. Ma personally

Could you please

leave for a while?

Of course

Bo Yuan

They're here to help you searching for Meng Zhu

Talk to them nicely

You said your wife left a letter

Where is the letter?

It's in my room upstairs

I'll go and get it

Please wait here

I'll go and get it

It's alright

We'll go with you

Please

Mr. Wu

Hurry up come over

Let me look for it

The sweepstake of yesterday

It seems the missing of your wife

never affects your mood

My friends brought me there

They wanted to comfort me and I couldn't reject it

I just saw your dancing shoes

were polished

Are you going to dance tonight?

It's my habit

The sheepskin will easily get spoilt without polish

What about Paramount? Habit too?

I found the letter

Bo Yuan

I'm leaving

Your mother is rude and not sensible

You're irresponsible with our family

Today, she made me understood everything

I'm not willing to stand it

I'm going to look for my new life

and be a modern lady who has a meaningful life

That's all

Ruan Meng Zhu

Strange

A fake letter? The letter is real,

but not the time

The letter was left by Mrs. Ma

when she ran away from home a year ago

She

always

wanted to run away from home

But what makes you said it's a letter a year ago?

The paper

and the change of the ink

And

The words of " modern lady"

A year ago, it's a film

named "A Modern Lady"

It's about how a woman breaks the cage of the feudal family and has her new life

She mentioned,

"Today, she made me understood everything"

She's talking about

the heroine in the film

So,

the letter was written a year ago

But you told us it was written

by her before she went missing

What is your motive?

-I... -Mr. Ma

Providing a fake evidence to the police

could be a crime

The letter was found by my mother

You should ask her

Do you have any other things that might be wrong?

Let me think about it

Let me think

[Lawyer - Wu Qing Feng]

Mrs. Ma

Mr. Wu

Here you are

The cops are questioning him upstairs

Hurry up take a look Don't worry, I'll check it out

I just went to horse racing and danced

She kept saying that she wanted to go back to her parents

Women

always grumble

No point

Her parents sent her back here again

Without our reputation in Shanghai,

his family can't run their business

So she had nowhere to go

If she made noise again...

If she made noise again, I'll...

Kill her

No

I didn't kill her

Where did she go then?

I don't know

Mr. Ma

You don't have to pretend again

You should know,

since I managed to speculate about the letter,

I will find out the truth one day

Now, the police detective is here

If you tell us the truth,

you're considered surrender yourself

You will be given a light sentence

Am I right?

That's right

Actually,

on that night...

Mr. Ma

Have a seat here

Come on

Who are you?

I'm Wu Qing Feng, lawyer of Ma's family

Did you bring the search warrant

when you searched Mr. Ma's room?

Mr. Wu

Mr. Ma brought us here

Mr. Ma

They insisted to follow me

We're investigating

the missing case of Ruan Meng Zhu

Please co-operate The case of Mrs. Ma

was handled by Detective Ye

You're trespassing the mansion

It's too serious

We just had a talk with Mr. Ma

Mr. Ma is not a suspect

He doesn't have to answer your question

Please leave

Let's go

Wait

Last talk

See you

I'm sure that Ma Bo Yuan has something's wrong

He almost confessed

It's all because of the lawyer

He came

at a wrong timing

But,

what did you tell Ma Bo Yuan just now?

Secret

If you're smart,

you'll know it

Where are we going to?

Go home and have a sleep

Oh yeah

How did you know

I'm graduated from Hua Dong Police Academy?

Just a speculation

When you tried to protect Superintendent Savoy,

your movements are swift and professional

Apparently, you're trained by the professional Police Academy

Hua Dong Police Academy

is the only institute which accepts female

How did you know

I was taken care by my aunt?

When you arrived yesterday,

you wrote a letter to your family This morning, you put the letter out of the room

to let the landlord post it for you

I took a glance

when I passed by

You didn't write to your family,

but only to your aunt and her family I guess you are

not so close with your parents

They...

They have passed away

I'm so sorry

It's okay

Please wait a moment

There's one more person

Okay

Madam Qin

Do you want to come?

Where are we going to?

Ma's Mansion

We went there during the day

There's something that we can't see during the day

You want to trespass the mansion?

Not me,

but us

I'm not going to do that with you

Madam Qin

We're in the same boat

You are trespassing I just came in to investigate

the suspect Okay

Focus on the suspect

Don't miss it

Anything's wrong with the car?

They have terminated all the servants

and no one clean the furniture

which they always use

Why did they

take a good care of the car?

This...

Are you sure?

It's full with dust

3 days ago, I went to worship my father

The dust

was left after the worship 3 days ago

The car was just polished

We could say that

Ma Bo Yuan loves his car very much

He may want to cover the marks on the car

It's a scratch here

Nails of woman

Take it

A cheongsam with yellow flowers and crepe-sewing

Mrs. Ma was on the right side of the car

Her fingers in red nail polish

were on the car windows

The car was moving speedy

Mrs. Ma grabbed the car windows

The car speeded up

and she couldn't catch it

Her nails were broken

and dropped into the frame

Come with me

Here it is

When I passed by during the day,

I found something's wrong

Apparently, they replaced the sands

They have recently added some cheap sands

What are they trying to cover up?

Smell of gasoline

Must be a car accident happened before

The driver found something's wrong

He's panic

and headed to the land

The real situation on that night

Mr. Ma wanted to drive his car out

But Mrs. Ma stopped him

What are you doing?

I'll go with you

I want to see

who is the homewrecker

Are you crazy?

Get off me

What are you doing?

Hands off

Hands off

To avoid the attention from the others,

Ma Bo Yuan made a fake report

and claimed Ruan Meng Zhu went missing after she ran away

Where is the corpse?

If you were him,

where would you hide the corpse?

Around the kennel

Garden

Exactly

The garden

is just convenient and safe

When I passed by during the day,

I saw some trace of buried

around the kennel

What are you doing?

Go back to the police station

and get men to dig the corpse

The corpse is not here

His wife was missing

But he didn't look for her at her parents house

He didn't ask any of her friends or urge the police

But, he went to a grave on the outskirts

Don't you feel strange?

New soil

If I'm not mistaken,

it should be Mrs. Ma's hair

Someone is coming

Ma Bo Yuan is coming, what should we do now?

It's good

We can ride on his car

Quiet

Luo Fei, he...

Where is he going?

To meet Mrs. Ma

The graveyard is strange

Why do we come here?

You'll know it later

Let's go

This way

Don't take the same road with him

[Preview]

I didn't kill anyone

Murder

Car crash

Hide the corpse

Assaulting police

Illegal possession of firearms

What?

Ma Bo Yuan is not the murderer?

Maybe Ma Bo Yuan is not the murderer

He's a victim too

He's confessed

He only declared what's in front of our eyes

It may not be the real fact

They're here to help you searching for Meng Zhu

Mr. Wu

Hurry up come over

The case

is not as easy as it seems

Where is he going?

To meet Mrs. Ma
