[Detective L]

[Episode 15]

[Serial Arson: C]

Stop knocking

You have 5 minutes to freshen up

I'll wait you downstairs

I won't wait for long

Where are we going?

Crime scene

Why are we at the bank?

Didn't you want to know the details about diamond case?

10 years ago,

two men came in

before the Union Bank of Shanghai was closed

One was the comprador of Richard's Company, Charlie Kim

The other one was

the manager of Richard's Company,

Zhao Da Tong

Hi, we would like to rent a safe

[Zhao Da Tong] [Charlie Kim]

Charlie Kim was holding

an imported coded briefcase from USA

The briefcase contained

the priceless diamond

Now, I'm Charlie Kim

You're Zhao Da Tong

Let's do a scene simulation

See if we can find out the problem

Hi

Hi sir, what can I help you?

I would like to rent a safe

How long would you like to rent for?

1 day

1 day?

What's the problem?

It's fine

Please register first

Alright

Done

Okay, thanks

These are the available safes,

please pick one

What's wrong?

You're my trusty assistant

but I don't know that you're a mole

and both of you were allies

Sir, what are you talking about?

Nothing

Alright

What would you do if you want me

to pick a specific number?

101

Because the arson

is your 101th case

Good

You've successfully made used of my character

to bait me

Charlie Kim was superstitious

It's easy for Zhao Da Tong to bait him either

Pick 168

It means good luck

What if Charlie Kim

didn’t pick the expected number?

The plan will be aborted

No one will lose anything

Sir, are you done?

101

Alright

Please follow me

This way

This way please

Here

Here

Please

This is safe 101

Here are the key and the password

You can reset the password

after keeping your things

If you don’t know how to reset it,

I can teach you

No need

I've been investigating

this kind of safe for 10 years

It's specially made by the German Krupps Company

with the best anti-theft system

As I know,

no one has ever

opened it before

Our safes are the most secure ones

No worries

You've got only 10 minutes

I'll wait outside

Okay, thanks

Alright

After Wang Ji Fu brought

Charlie Kim and Zhao Da Tong into the vault,

he gave them a completely sealed envelope

In the envelope,

there're the only key and

unique passcode for the safe of 168

If this safe was

part of the plan,

Wang Ji Fu could have

opened the envelope and made a duplicate key

No point even if he knew the original passcode

After Charlie Kim

kept his case into the safe,

he set a new passcode

using the button at the back

Was it possible if Wang Ji Fu and Zhao Da Tong

saw the new passcode?

According to the rules,

the bank manager has to avoid

when the client is setting a new passcode

I've read Charlie Kim's confession

He confirmed that Wang Ji Fu was away at that time

While Zhao Da Tong…

Go over there

Charlie Kim said,

Zhao Da Tong was few feets away from him,

facing at different direction

Can you see what I set?

No

Thus,

it's useless to know the original passcode

No one knew what did

Charlie Kim set

for his new passcode

Lastly,

he turned on the alarm

on the coded briefcase

The coded briefcase was imported from USA

with the best alarm system in the world

Once the on-off is on,

the mercury system will be activated

A small vibration is enough

to trigger the alarm

and the coded briefcase will start to bleep

At the end,

he closed the safe,

took out the key

and left the bank

The next morning,

Wang Ji Fu came to work as usual

The first thing he needs

to do every morning

is to check the vault

When he opened the door,

he realized…

The bank quickly locked all the exits

People were burst in an uproar

All the security guards

were guarding at the doors

after closing it

The police force

had arrived at once

At that time,

no one left the bank and

Wang Ji Fu didn't leave the vault either

The policemen were searching

all the people in the bank

But

they didn't find any diamond

The ventilation ducts were designed to be small

It can't even fit a rat

They have searched

the whole bank

including the office and washrooms,

but didn't find anything

The diamonds went missing

in the bank without any trace And this case

became an unsolved puzzle

Do you think

Charlie Kim would accidentally reveal

the passcode to someone else?

No

Charlie Kim was low key and careful

He went home after leaving the bank

He didn't meet anyone

until the incident occurred

If that's the case,

there isn't any loophole in the case

You forgot again

As a detective,

don't jump to the conclusion easily

Did I miss anything just now?

Look

German Krupp safe

is the most secure safe in the world

After it's locked,

there's no way to open it besides using the passcode

After it's opened…

Look

These 4 screws

can be removed easily After removing the metal plate,

the lock cylinder inside can be removed easily

That's crap!

The safe is opened,

of course it's not safe anymore

Let me ask you

In the bank's safety procedure,

which step

must require the safe to be opened?

Resetting the passcode?

That's right

So what?

Now,

it's our engineer's turn to move

An engineer of the Machinery Factory, Fang Li Bin

He's familiar with

all kinds of safe on the market

He could easily

change the

lock cylinder of the safe of 168

At this time,

the bank's security guard, Zheng Yuan could help him

So the night before…

When the workers off duty, he was hiding in Wang Ji Fu's office

When it's about time,

he came out from the office

and used the key and passcode

provided by Wang Ji Fu

to get into the vault

At that time,

Zheng Yuan was on duty

The guards take shift every 30 minutes

If they have discussed before,

Fang Li Bin has 30 minutes

to change the lock cylinder of the safe

to a fake one

After changing it, he hid in Wang Ji Fu's office

Until the second day,

he could just mix into the crowd

and leave the bank

So,

it doesn't matter what's the passcode Charlie Kim set

They can always use the original passcode

to open the fake lock cylinder

Right

Charlie Kim

has never used such advanced safe

Thus,

he has no idea about

the lock cylinder

Therefore, he fell into their trap

I got it

As long as Wang Ji Fu

gets into the vault at night

and opens the safe

with the original passcode,

he could take away the diamonds

Wrong

There's one last thing

Once the alarm on the coded briefcase

is turned on,

the only way to prevent the alarm sound

is to enter the passcode

But only the producer from USA

has the blueprint of the alarm system

It's considered as highly confidential

There's no way Fang Li Bin can get it

So no one can take away

the diamonds besides Charlie Kim

Even Charlie Kim himself

has to trigger the alarm

and enter the passcode to shut it down

If that's the case,

the burglary case

is impossible to be solved

This is the furthest I can go

I always stuck at this part

I'm sorry

Time's up

Is it?

Time's up?

Time…

Time…

You're right

Why didn't I think about it?

Thank you so much

Time is the key of the case

Time!

Where are you going?

Excuse me

Luo Fei

What?

Du Jin Bao is not the killer?

Then who's the killer?

I'm not sure yet

But I can assure you that

I'll bring him in

after 27 days

What you need to do now is

delaying the detainment time of Du Jin Bao

and transfer him to judicial after 27 days

You said it easily, huh?

The case will make a big impact to our society

All the parties require a public trial at once

to appease the people

The theatre is doing a show

of Du Jin Bao's death

Are you willing to watch an innocent

die in order to appease the people?

I won't tolerate your absurd conjecture

and ruin our system

This is not conjecture, but inference

I'm always right

No, you're not

Last time when we received an anonymous parcel,

you said it's a bomb,

but it's a cake instead

It was supposed to be a surprise from my wife

but I had to give it to the bomb disposal squad

I meant on the important things

Fine, I'll try my best to delay it

But you have to tell me

what are the leads you have now

Why must 27 days?

Time

The key of this case

is time

[27 days later]

Hi

Please follow me

Hi

We meet again

What a coincidence!

You are renting the safe too?

No We are here

for you

Sure

Please wait for me at my clinic

I'll go back once I'm done

But I have

an emergency

and we must talk now

Here?

Maybe somewhere else?

It's said that

only one customer is allowed in the vault at a time

It's alright

We're quite close to

the bank manager

You guys are impressive

Fine, what is it?

Have you heard of the burglary case

of Union Bank of Shanghai 10 years ago?

No

I was at Austria 10 years ago

If that's the case,

let me tell you then

10 years ago in this vault,

a box of priceless diamonds were stolen

I came out with an inference

on how the 4 thieves managed to steal

the diamonds using their job advantages

But I just can't figure out the last part

How did they manage to

crack the alarm on the briefcase?

Until one day,

I found out something

I finally understand

No matter how perfect the alarm is designed,

there's a thing that it can't beat

Time

I don't really understand

If there's nothing else,

you may go back first

Dr. Huo

Be patient

You'll understand when I finish it

It takes electricity

to power up the alarm

So, the battery is needed,

if there's battery,

it must have battery life

I made a call to

the producer in USA

and found this out

Once the switch is on,

the battery life can only last for 10 years

I think one of the thieves

must have made

the same phone call

to the USA

Hello

I would like to know

about the battery life of DONNINE safe

10 years right?

The plan can

work perfectly

with the additional 10 years time

Actually this briefcase

has never left the safe

It was there all the time

Hold on

I still don't get it

Wasn't the safe 168

already opened at that time?

It was empty right?

Yes

But Charlie Kim didn't store

the diamonds in safe 168,

but next to it

The second loophole of this vault

is the numbering on the safe

It's not carved, but

a nameplate which was screwed on it

It's very easy to change it

I've tested it

Someone who's familiar with it

should be able to change it

within 10 minutes

At that time,

before Charlie Kim went into the vault,

the previous client

must be someone

we knew about

When he went into the vault,

the safe 168 which he saw

should be the safe 167

It was rented by the 4 thieves

The fake lock cylinder prepared by Fang Li Bin

was made according to the safe 168's key

and the original passcode

If it's so,

all the numbering of the safes were messed up

Didn't anyone notice about it?

No

Zhao Da Tong was the manager

who arranged schedule for Charlie Kim

He purposely arranged the time to the vault

right before the bank closing

So Charlie Kim would

leave the bank after keeping the diamonds

and Wang Ji Fu

would cancel all the works in the vault right away

Then Zhao Da Tong,

Wang Ji Fu,

Fang Li Bing,

these 3 people

were hiding in Wang Ji Fu's office

Until Zheng Yuan's on duty,

4 of them

went into the vault together

and changed back the original numberplate

as well as the

original lock cylinder

In order to share the

wealth after 10 years,

they used a unique way

to keep the faith among them

The passcode of the safe

is a combination of 3 different groups of numbers

Zhao Da Tong, Fang Li Bin, Zheng Yuan

They set a group of numbers separately

which only they knew about it

Whereas Wang Ji Fu

kept the key

Then,

they went back to where they hid

and waited until the next morning

to leave among the crowd

The next day,

which was Monday morning,

Wang Ji Fu

opened the door of the vault

He used the key and passcode which were prepared earlier

to open the safe 168

Then,

he pressed the alarm

That's why the police

didn't find out anything Even everyone including Charlie Kim

thought that the diamonds were just gone like that

No one knew

the priceless diamonds

were actually kept in

the safe 167

Then,

they have split up

They changed their jobs and also migrated

to some where else

Making sure there's no connection between them

Until 10 years later,

they meet again as discussed before

They assemble the passcode and key

to open the safe

and collect the case that has ran out of battery

In order to prove I'm right,

I went to see the current bank manager

Even though he can't tell me anything about the clients,

but I convinced him to check

about the contract

of safe 167 and 169

Then I found out

the renting contract of safe 167

is exactly 10 years

It was rent by anonymous

and came with a weird term

It is stated

no one is allowed

to open the safe within 10 years

On the last day of 10 years,

which is today,

someone can easily get into the vault

with the key of safe 167

to collect the item

Dr. Huo

It's so weird

Why is the key of safe 167

with you now?

Can I look inside?

I rent the safe,

the things inside are my personal belonging

You have no rights to see it

I thought you said

you were at Austria 10 years ago

How did you manage to rent the safe here?

I asked someone for help

Dr. Huo

I really admire you that

you are still calm now

A month ago,

Xiao Man and I went to your clinic

We looked into your files

I found

one of the code is missing

At first I thought it was nothing,

then I slowly thought

Maybe you're

actually hiding

some patient's name from me

For instance,

Zhao Da Tong

He attended the hypnotherapy,

but he didn't know

it will expose his own secrets

So,

you knew the truth

of the burglary case 10 years ago

Then, you managed to get

the combination of passcode from him

Then you killed him

Hypnosis is not that magical

in real life

Yes, it's not magical

But it has a magic

TSD

A kind of drug which was abstracted from poisonous mushrooms

A little dose of it

will have calming effect

While overdose will make

the patient started to hallucinate

or even

caught off guard

At a night a month ago,

you brought the drug

and sneaked into Zhao Da Tong's house

You forced him to take it overdose

in order to get the passcode

Then, you made it as if it caught on fire

You did this

to cover your crime

On the other hand,

you wanted to cause more casualties

to distract the police

You killed 10 people

just for the diamonds

Du Jin Bao set the fire

and he admitted it

Please shoot me

No

Du Jin Bao is just a scapegoat

He seeked for your help regarding to sleepwalking,

but you used him

Detective Luo

You're too imaginative

You may ask

any psychologist

They'll tell you

hypnosis can only do some simple mental guidance,

not complicated things,

especially the things that betrays ownself

For example, hurting ownself

or others

I didn't say that

you hypnotized him to start the fire

You just have to make his condition worse and

make sure he sleepwalks every Sunday night

You set all the fire

After setting the fire,

you sneaked into Du Jin Bao's house

and framed him with the evidence

When Du Jin Bao went back home

and saw the evidence,

he thought

he set the fire

After you killed Zhao Da Tong,

you tried to find the other 3 partners

with the names provided

Then, you used the same way

to kill Fang Li Bin and Zheng Yuan

You could have used the same way

to take out Wang Ji Fu

and take the key away from him

Then make an anonymous call

to report that Du Jin Bao is the arsonist

to complete your plan perfectly

But unfortunately,

you made a fatal mistake

You only know 4 of them

seldom contact

No one will suspect the death of their allies

But you forgot about Wang Ji Fu's job

He's working as an editor in a newspaper publisher

He used to focus on his job all the time

We've never caused any trouble

Although the newspaper won't publish the list of the dead,

but Wang Ji Fu

has access to the most primitive news material

[Zhao Da Tong]

When he saw Zhao Da Tong was one of the victim of the first fire,

he must be upset

Because the safe can't be opened anymore

And the diamonds won't be taken out

When he saw Fang Bin was

one of the victims of the second fire,

the feeling of upset will surely turn into panic

Because he might think

it's all because of Zheng Yuan

wanted to steal the diamonds

And the next target is him

So,

he set many traps in his house

to catch Zheng Yuan alive

Because only Zheng Yuan

knew the full code

But when he saw Zheng Yuan was

one of the victims of the third fire,

the panic turned into fear

Since his allies are not the murderer,

Wang Ji Fu who is superstitious might think

it's the soul of Charlie Kim

came back to revenge

So

he painted a spell all over the house

When Mrs. Wang

saw her husband behaves abnormally,

she's worried about him

So she made a police report

That's how

it caught our attention and

we stepped into the investigation

Eventually,

we broke your perfect plan

On that night,

you wanted to kill Wang Ji Fu

But we ruined your plan

So,

you left this while running away

Because of this,

it led us to your clinic

You're not panic about it

and didn't give up your original plan

You just used an alibi

to muddle through

Then you provided a few clues

to confuse us

and delay the time

At last,

you used a fake target to confuse us

so that you could continue your perfect plan

You got the keys

You killed Wang Ji Fu

Arson and destroying the body,

then framed it to Du Jin Bao

That day, Xiao Man saw

Wang Ji Fu laughing loudly in the fire

Actually, it's because he took

an overdose of TSD

Don't forget

I have an alibi

You're right

To be foolproof,

you arranged an alibi

every time you committed a crime

Your insomnia patient,

Mr. Ma Tian Li of the Municipality

He receives your treatment every Sunday and it ends at 10pm sharp

So when it caught fire at 10 pm,

you're at the clinic

This alibi seems unbreakable,

but you actually faked it

[Mr. Ma Tian Li of the Municipality]

The treatment's over

Then I went to Ma's mansion to check it out

Because of insomnia,

he needs a very quiet environment

The clock in his house

has no clockwork

You want to see me, right?

What's the matter?

Didn't you want to hear

the murderer's confession?

Actually, I

feel regretted now

If it wasn't

for the greedy,

you, Xiao Man

and I are still friends now

We can still work together

But

the diamonds

were too alluring and it blinded me

I've checked it out

You invited Xiao Man

to a party,

but the party didn't exist

Actually, I was panic when two of you

came to my clinic that day

Because I know,

with your abilities

you'll find out the truth sooner or later

I have no choice

That's the only way

I could disturb you

I cheated Xiao Man

Please tell her that I'm sorry to her

So you invited her to the party

just to disturb our investigation?

To be exact, I wanted to disturb you

Luo Fei

I've become what I am today

all because of greed

I'll realize my mistake here

What's he trying to cover up?

-What are you doing? -Stop it!

Stop it!

Dear Aunt

The case was sewed up

But, unexpectedly,

the real culprit behind it

is a colleague of mine whom I've always respected

I think

Everyone choose the path

of their life themselves

Someone lost his way

in front of greed

Someone is able to move

in the right direction

even in the boundless darkness

To him,

justice is an immortal fire in his heart

And faith

is the infinite power of his soul

You've been with me all night

Huo Wen Si said, I have a special feeling

to Qin Xiao Man

Even he's guilty to commit a crime,

but he's still

a professional therapist

Did he say it correctly?

[Extra - This is a serious detective series]

Luo Fei

Do you think

Qin Xiao Man

is pretty?

So ugly

Like a Tomboy She used to

talk incessantly

It's annoying

So what do you think

about

her performance?

So poor

Too bad

She always busy collecting the evidence

and do nothing

She's a burden anyway

I don't think she's fit to be a detective

I don't know what she's doing at the police station?

Luo Fei

Is that true?

I'm out of breath

Out of breath?

How dare you!

Do you really mean it?

What did I just say?

You said I was ugly

Look like a Tomboy

Bad perfomance and always get you in trouble

Is that all true?

That must be a lie

Is there a hero like you? Look at the other series

The hero is so warm

You may go to him then

How could you tease the heroine?

You're going to spoil the quality of the whole series

What will the Bullet Screen comment the series later?

But this is what they set up for you
