[16th June, Sunday]

[Pike Road, Fire]

There's a fire at Pike Road on Sunday night

It caused 3 dead and 5 injuries

About the fire,

the head of the fire department and I

will try to answer your questions

Have you found the cause of the fire?

In the initial judgment,

the seat of the fire was at 2nd floor of No. 18

The cause of the fire may due to

the careless smoker among the residents

Is there any sign of arson?

We didn't find

any trace of arson at the scene

And no suspicious people were found

in the investigation into the witness

Superintendent Savoy

This is the third fire in this month

Is there any connection between the 3 fires?

All the 3 fires occurred

around 10 pm on Sunday

Is this really just a coincidence?

People said, it's presence of Zhu Rong

What do you think?

I'm so sorry

Zhu Rong is beyond our control

No comment

I have a question

Mr. Zhang said,

the fire was caused by a smoker in No. 18

I have checked the victim's list

The resident of No. 18 is Mr. Zheng Yuan

Last Friday,

Zheng Yuan published an open anti-smoking speech on the radio

He said he'd quit smoking for 10 years

In the last fire,

you said the cause of the last fire

was due to the fallen flame

in the chimney downdraft

But it wasn't windy on the day of the fire

And the first fire in this month,

you said it was caused by a short circuit of the light

Unfortunately,

there's a blackout at there

on the day of the fire

Superintendent Savoy

Can you explain the doubts?

It makes sense

Well...

Alright

Let's call it a day

We're investigating your doubts

Don't go, explain please!

Say something

-Don't go! -Wait!

Walking just after a meal

will cause appendicitis

Why do you follow me wherever I go?

Do I owe you money?

Why do you always mess it up?

No

You just owe me a case

Anyhow,

you can't mess with the press conference

Now,

what would the reporters say about us?

What would the people think of us?

They will think the police are scum and useless

That's why you need me

I know you're under pressure right now

3 fires

More than 10 casualties

Rumors abound in the concession

And your superior

wanted you to appease the people

Do you really think there's no

connection between the 3 fires?

If there's another fire on this coming Sunday,

what do you want to tell the people?

You'll end up paying for it

I can assign the case to you

But can you make sure

no more fire on this Sunday?

No But I'll try my best

Sir

I have less than 3 days now

I need your authorization

to let me conduct an investigation by the name of police

Okay

I need the information of victims of the fires,

the witness's testimony

and the survey report of the scene

Do you still keep

the scene of the last fire?

Yes

You can go to the scene

and see if you need anything

I don't have much time

and I need hands

Okay

I'll let Qin Xiao Man to help you

Thanks

Why are you sitting in my place?

Now, the time he's sitting here

is more than you did

What's up?

I just borrowed you from Det Sup Savoy

What do you mean?

I'm a human being, not a thing

I mean, I'm not an object

I can't be borrowed just like that

Is there something you need my help?

Your help?

It's up to you

I have an investigation

Investigation?

That's great

[Pike Road - Scene of a fire]

It's all burned down like this

Is there anything else you can find?

The main key of a detective

Don't simply jump to the conclusion

It's supposed

the location of the body

The moisture in the body

blocked most of the fire

So, it's the only floor which remained more complete

Smell of barbecue

What?

To be accurate,

it's an aromatic from the heat degradation

of the body fat

It seeped into the floor

and protected it

Smell it

Not only smell like barbecue,

but wine too

Exactly

The remaining wine bottle which melted at high temperature

Should be vodka

It's here too

And here

Madam Qin

What do you see?

The victim was an drunkard He was drinking wine and smoking

at that time

He accidentally knocked over the bottle after drunk

The cigarette butts then ignited the alcohol on the ground

And the fire burned up

Wrong

If he accidentally knocked over the bottle,

why were the residue of wine bottles

all over the place in the room?

Because...

He broke a bunch of bottles

The wine cabinet is here

There are red wine inside

Whiskey

And

Brandy

I mean, there's so much wine

Why did he choose vodka?

Because it has high degree of alcohol

Xiao Man

You wanted to be

an excellent police, didn't you?

Look at this window

Tell me

What's the problem?

The window is in the upper air vent

So it's basically not burned

Moreover,

it's diagonally facing the door

It forms an air convection

and cause the growth of the fire

There's a lot of ash on the window

and the latch was rusted by rust

It means it hasn't been opened in a long time

This arsonist is smart 这个arsonist非常地smart

He didn't want anyone to know it was a arson

So,

he didn't bring any

combustion additive like gasoline or kerosene,

but

he used the alcohol here

There are only 2 windows in the whole room

He only opened the one

with a better ventilation

And this window

is facing a street

If it's opened,

people will find out the fire more early

He has been setting fire

in different places 3 weeks in a row

He's an outsider, but he didn't attract anyone's attention

He

must be very cunning

and unobtrusive

Like a cold-blooded chameleon

Easily hides between the crowd

Interesting

I finally met a decent opponent

Where were you on the day of the fire? [Route Andre Cohen]

At home

Did you see anyone suspicious in this area?

No

Who can prove it?

He can prove it

Hello

Where were you on the day of the fire?

I was eating at my friend's house

Okay, thank you

[Wang Ji Fu]

Fire! Fire!

It's not my fault!

You guys forced me!

Fire! Fire!

No!

Fire!

-Fire! -Ji Fu

You're having nightmares again

Where are you going?

Ji Fu

-Please spare me, Mr. Jin -What are you doing?

-Why didn't you sleep? -Please spare me, Mr. Jin

Mr. Jin, please spare me

Mr. Jin, please let me go

Sir, I want to make a report

What's the case?

The Sunday serial arsonist

is going to burn our house tonight

Quickly send someone to protect us

Again

Tell me what he looks like

I don't know

But I knew his surname is Jin

How did you know?

My husband said that

Your husband?

How did he know that?

He...

He dreamed of it

137 reports

There are 137 reports a day

Everyone of them says

they got an important clue to the arson freak

Can you explain what's going on?

I put a small advertisement in the paper

I asked the people to come and report a lead on the serial arson

They will be rewarded

if the clues are confirmed

You..

I just dispelled the rumors in the press conference

Now you set it up again in the paper

And you did it fraudulently by the name of police

First, I did not make rumors

The serial arsonist did exist

Second, I didn't do it fraudulently

You gave me the authorization

Forgot it?

I didn't know that you advertised in the paper

Third, I admit

it's a last resort

But if you let me step in earlier,

we won't be so passive right now

Today is Sunday

If you don't do this

do you have a better way then?

Don't worry

I've called the fire department

If there's a fire alarm tonight,

they'll let me knew right away

I'll be there at once

to gather the firsthand information

It's going to be dark in a few hours

Do you have any other plans

besides waiting their call here?

Most of the 137 clues

is useless

But 10 of them are interesting

Although there is little hope,

but I suggest you to send someone to check it out

I have no hands now

Sir

Sir

Luo Fei

Good to see you here, as you said,

I've inquired all the merchants within a radius of 200m of the scene

and 21 victims in the hospital

Very good

Well, there are 10 more here

Check it out again

Okay

I felt like

your words are better than mine

Hello

Where were you on the day of the fire?

Hello

I suspect the man next door is the serial arsonist

He stole my oil burner

He's the arsonist

Why?

He looks like a bad guy The arsonist is right in front

It's him

Burn it

Burn it

Burn it

Coming

Who are you looking for?

Mrs. Wang, right?

I'm a police

Did you make a report before?

You're a detective?

Right

Come in

Okay

Watch out

There's a big hole here

Be careful

You made a report and said

it's going to be an arson tonight, right?

My husband dreamed of it

3 weeks ago,

the first arson was posted in the paper

and my husband was panic

He said something serious is going to happen

After that, the second and third fire happened He's getting more and more nervous

He piled up a lot of sand at home

and got a big water tank

He said it's for fire prevention

He dug some holes in the yard

and it's a mess

Let's go inside

Okay

Mind the floor

Recently, my husband

has nightmares every night

He dreamed of a fire in the house

and said

Mr. Jin's going to kill him

Mr. Jin?

Who's Mr. Jin?

I don't know

What's your husband's job?

Does he have any enemies?

He's working as an editor of a newspaper publisher

He used to focus on his job all the time

We've never caused any trouble

and have no debts

So...

Where's your husband now?

He's sleeping in the room

He's afraid to sleep at night

or turn off the lights

So, he sleeps for a few hours during the day

Why don't you sit and rest for a while? I'll serve you a cup of tea

All the servants were scared away by him

Thank you

Who are you?

Don't kill me!

Say it!

Don't kill me!

It's a misunderstanding

He's my husband

Ji Fu

What are you doing?

Don't kill me!

Don't kill me!

Don't kill me!

You're leaving, huh?

Will you send someone to protect us tonight?

Mrs. Wang

Your husband needs no protection,

but to see a doctor

Come and check your fortune to avoid the disaster!

Do you want to have a try?

No, thanks

No pay if I can't read it well

No need

What do you want?

Luo Fei

What's wrong with your beard?

It's fake

What are you doing here?

Mrs. Wang's story is quite interesting

I can't help to come and check it out

Why didn't you come with me just now?

You forgot it

Mrs. Wang reported the incident behind her husband

And you came here and investigated it

as a police detective

What can you find it out?

To get close to a superstitious man,

nothing is better than a fortune teller

So,

you've just been to their house

Before you came here

Let me ask you

What did you find in his house?

Their house was full of talismans

And there's a monster in the altar

It means Mr. Wang is very superstitious

He made a trap in the yard

and there are nails on the floor at the door

There's a net above the patio

It means he wants to catch ghost

Moreover,

when I first got into their house, Mr. Wang was holding a sword

and trying to attack me It means he's violent

And

there's a picture on the wall

which is near the beam

What painting?

A dirty painting

It means he's a freak

In short, he's a psycho anyway

It means you've only learned to look,

but not observe

It's talisman of fire avoidance

The statue in the altar is Chi Wen,

the beast of fire avoidance

He's holding the Peach Wood Sword of exorcism

The dirty painting on the wall

is a painting of fire avoidance

Can the painting avoid fire?

Exactly

There's a legend

saying the God of Fire was a woman

She'll be shy when she sees the dirty painting

and run away immediately

I talked to Wang Ji Fu before

Although he was overly nervous,

but he still has a very clear mind

He was so sure that a ghost is going to hurt him

So,

he set up all the exorcism tools in his house

It's all well-founded

A psycho can't manage to do it

Clear mind, huh?

He dug a hole to catch ghosts

Is this called a clear mind?

The nails on the floor, the net in the patio

and the holes in the yard which have traces of filling

didn't mean to catch ghosts,

but human

It's obvious

that Wang Ji Fu wanted to catch the arsonist alive at the beginning

Unexpectedly,

he changed his mind

after 3 fires

He turned to the gods

Wang Ji Fu

must have hidden something from us

Exactly

The 3 fires must be related

to Wang Ji Fu

So he said someone is coming to burn his house tonight

He's serious

Bye

Thanks

Welcome

I've called the fire department

If I guess it wrong

and there's a fire somewhere else,

they'll inform us at once

Will you guess it wrong?

I'm not a god

Of course I'll make a mistake

Luo Fei

I have a question

You've been a detective for so long

Have you ever had an unsolved case?

Yes, it is

What?

The bank theft occurred 10 years ago The missing train occurred 8 years ago

The abduction case occurred 2 years ago

And last month

Last month?

The case of Tears?

It's solved

But I still don't know

if Xiao Lu

was killed by Captain

Something happened

Take it easy

Listen carefully

Gosh!

Are you crazy?

I'll leave you alone!

They are quarreling

Why did she leave her husband and run away alone?

Maybe

Wang Ji Fu doesn't want to bring his wife into it

So he drove her away on purpose

Wang Ji Fu doesn't look

like a good husband

You're still young

You still don't understand the things

in a relationship

It seems you knew it well

Detective Luo

Tell me about

your love story

I'm curious

No way

Why did the light turn off?

Mrs. Wang said, Wang Ji Fu doesn't turn off the lights these days

He became brave after his wife left

Something happened

Somebody, please come!

Come on!

Come on!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Stop!

Stop!

Xiao Man

Stop!

Stop!

Wang Ji Fu!

Wang Ji Fu!

Wang Ji Fu!

Don't kill me!

Don't be afraid

I'm here to save you

Who tried to kill you just now?

I don't know

He's from the back

I didn't see it

Stop!

Excuse me

Excuse me

Excuse me

Luo Fei

Where's he?

He ran away

Ran away?

Wait

When the killer just ran in,

he left this behind

Did you see his face?

No

He's so cunning

This is a common 50 ml drip bottle

We couldn't find the fingerprint since it's broken badly

What's the drug inside it?

TSD

A new type of sedative drug

which works well

But taking it in large quantity can cause illusion and the patient will lose their sense of self-prevention

It's also called as an honest potion

It should be not many hospitals that can prescribe the drug

Now the health system in the concession is not perfect

So, the drug regulation is messy

A lot of hospitals could simply prescribe drugs

Not like when I was in Germany

De Hua...

It's Edwards Pharmaceuticals,

a pharmaceutical factory in Germany There's a branch in Shanghai now

They only imported drugs that mainly from Germany

The drugs are good, but expensive

They only provide it to those costly private clinics

What about this E608?

This is a batch number By giving the batch number to the pharmaceutical factory,

we'll know who the buyer is

I found it

Only Dr. Huo bought

the same batch of TSD last month

But I don't know

who did he sell all the drugs to

Here we are

Oh yeah

I guess

Dr. Huo doesn't know

that one of his patients is a dangerous person

Let's get in

[Hovens Psychological Clinic]

Exactly

It's TSD

It was found on the arsonist

Judging by the batch number,

only your clinic has bought the drug before

Where were you at 10 pm last night?

Luo Fei, what are you doing?

To me, everyone is suspicious

It's alright

I understood it

I was meeting Mr. Ma Tian Li of the Municipality

at the clinic at 10 pm last night

He's having a serious insomnia

He comes to my clinic for treatment

at 9-10 pm every Sunday

If you don't believe it,

you may ask him

or check the registration record

Unless you suspect he's an accomplice

Although you have an alibi,

but the drug

was from your clinic

Who have been prescribed the drug before?

Doctors have the right to protect

the privacy of every patient

I have made a mistake

when I told you about Mr. Ma

If you refuse to work with us,

I'll go back and apply for a search warrant later

And we can also check your medical records

Please go back then

I'll wait here
