(Haunted House for Sale)

Ms. Lu.

(Episode 3: One Room, One Phoenix)

I can't believe this happened to you.

Here.

This is a card blessed by the gods.

It has cinnabar on it.

There are also eight spiritual tools...

that can protect you.

Wear it to ward off bad luck.

Thank you.

You've been sneezing.

You live alone.

Are you taking good care of yourself?

Did you take the vitamins I gave you?

Have you been doing the exercises your dad told you to?

I have. Stop nagging me.

Mrs. You.

How is Shanxi Temple lately?

It's okay.

Xiao You's dad's last wish...

was to promote Taoist culture.

To revitalize its beauty and morality.

People nowadays are bandwagoners who blindly follow the majority.

It's a bit difficult.

Mrs. You.

You can set up a website.

Use the power of the Internet...

to promote Taoist culture.

That sounds good.

But where do I start?

I have no one to help me.

Dad.

I haven't talked to you in 20 years.

Are you still my Black Knight?

Sorry.

The number you dialed is unavailable.

Please try again later. Thank you.

Hello?

- Dad. - Xiao Qi.

This is your uncle. Do you remember me?

When you were little,

you and your mom stayed at my hotel.

Uncle.

Why are you calling me?

I heard from your mom...

that you're a good real estate agent.

I'd like to ask you to help me with a situation.

I have a room in my hotel...

that has been rented out to Ms. Lin for years.

But a week ago,

she was killed in her room.

The killer hasn't been caught yet.

The hotel's business is really bad now.

I don't know what to do.

You mean Ms. Lin who lived across the hall?

So even after we moved out,

Ms. Lin still lived here.

It has been 20 years.

Well, she had a tough life.

She was her brother's guarantor.

She had been staying here...

to avoid the creditors.

Nowadays,

there are plenty of hotels and inns.

There's even something called Air...

Airbnb.

Business is tough.

Sometimes,

I have to turn a blind eye to certain things.

- Qi Qi. - Ms. Lin.

Room 225.

My childhood memory.

Excuse me, Ms. Lin.

Although Ms. Lin...

did that kind of work,

she had a good heart.

She often fed the stray cats in the back alley.

A week ago,

Ms. Lin was strangled to death on this bed.

The police said...

it could have been a client.

But so many people come and go every day.

We don't know who the killer is.

I still remember...

what Ms. Lin looked like.

I have a question.

Are there other long-term tenants like Ms. Lin?

A few.

My rental is cheap.

Some stay for a few months,

some for a few years.

But they moved out one by one.

Only Ms. Lin...

stayed here.

Do you think...

it could be the doing of another tenant?

The police came to investigate.

But they didn't find anything.

Ms. Lin was almost 50.

I don't know who would be so cruel.

A murder case is a huge matter.

My rent is now 50 percent off.

But still, not many people come.

You have no idea...

how much this has affected me.

Qi Qi.

Look, Portuguese egg tarts.

My client gave me two boxes.

You and your mom can have one.

Thank you, but I'm taking care of my mom.

What's wrong with your mom?

She caught a cold.

An Qi.

What's wrong?

Get Mom some hot water.

Okay. No problem.

Have you seen a doctor?

I'm fine.

It's just a cold.

You're going to get really sick.

Here you go.

Here.

Go downstairs and buy two bowls of chicken soup.

One for your mom and one for you.

Both of you need to take care of your health.

You're still growing.

Thank you, Ms. Lin.

Thank you so much.

You're very welcome.

We're neighbors. We should take care of each other.

An Qi, what should I do?

If an unnatural incident has occurred in a hotel room,

firstly,

a traditional ritual can be held...

to reassure the guests and the owner.

Secondly,

you can turn the room into a storage room,

or use it for other purposes and close the room...

to avoid further controversy.

But I've done everything I could.

Business still hasn't picked up.

Uncle,

have you considered selling this place?

Once a personal use property...

is classified as a stigmatized property,

the resale price is usually 40 percent off.

However,

commercial properties such as hotels...

are not for personal use...

and are usually renovated when they are sold,

so the selling price won't be affected.

Of course, the price will still depend on...

the location and commercial value.

But...

the accident won't affect it much.

We brought the power of attorney with us.

You can consider it.

"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva..."

"was meditating deeply on Prajnaparamita,"

"he realized the five aggregates were but an illusion,"

"and with this he was delivered from all sorrow and suffering."

"Sariputra..."

I'll take care of the rest.

- Okay. - Thank you.

No problem. Thank you.

What should we do with the goldfish?

Flush it down the toilet.

Uncle!

I'll take it home and keep it.

Don't flush it down the toilet.

Here.

- An Qi. - Thank you.

No problem.

We're going back to the office.

Okay.

Right.

Here.

It's a pendant.

I think it belonged to Ms. Lin.

It's a pendant of Guanyin,

so I don't dare to throw it away.

Please take care of it for me.

Okay, put it in my pocket.

See you.

An Qi.

Why did you take the fish...

and recite the Heart Sutra for Ms. Lin?

When I was little, my mom and I...

lived in the room across from Ms. Lin's for half a year.

My parents had just divorced.

We didn't know where to live at that time.

So my uncle rented the room to us.

(Taixiang OB-GYN)

My mom wasn't in a good mood.

Her health wasn't good either.

Fortunately, Ms. Lin showed concern for us.

- She took care of us. - Here.

Be careful.

Sit here.

It's okay.

It's fine. Sit.

Ms. Li.

Hey.

It's been a while. You've become so pretty.

Not at all. What brings you here?

It's my sister.

She has a bad cold.

All the clinics nearby are closed.

I brought her here to get some medicine,

so that she could feel better.

I'll get her referred.

Let her rest first.

We'll have the doctor take a look.

Then we'll know what's going on.

Please fill out the form first.

- Okay. Thank you. - Okay.

It's so cold.

An Qi.

I'm so cold.

You didn't pay! You...

Don't go! You haven't paid!

You stupid jerk!

Where are you going? Pay up!

Scumbag! Pay up!

Stop running!

Ms. Lin.

Ms. Lin!

Little cutie.

Little girl, watch where you're going.

Don't bully her.

Have you seen Ms. Lin?

Ms. Lin!

Ms. Lin!

Where are you?

Are you okay?

They won't pay me.

Stupid jerk!

I hope your balls get bitten by dogs.

How can I work like this?

Do you want me to call the police?

What for?

To arrest me?

But you're bleeding.

So cute.

Let me tell you.

Remember this.

Study hard.

You won't need a man to provide for you when you grow up.

Understand?

Are men not reliable?

Mountains fall if you rely on them,

people run if you rely on them.

Self-reliance is the best.

Sometimes,

you can't even trust your family.

Really?

No wonder my mom always calls my dad a jerk.

Did your mom and your dad split up?

Yes. Mom is very sad.

Does your mom have financial problems?

Why else would she bring you here?

My mom lent money to a lady.

She thought she could make a lot of money.

But in the end,

she got scammed.

Look at our little An Qi.

So young but so pitiful already.

How about this?

What else do you want to eat?

I'm the boss today. It's my treat.

I haven't finished the douhua.

It's delicious, isn't it?

What kind of douhua do you want?

Iced peanut douhua.

Iced?

You're sneezing and you still want it iced?

It's just an allergy.

Fine, a hot one then.

Upload the information when we get back to the office...

to the map of stigmatized properties in Taipei.

Use the red ghost icon.

- Okay. - This will be our first project.

Two hot peanut douhua.

Thank you.

You made a mistake here.

Write it 50 times as punishment.

Yes.

Thank you.

For the fair next weekend,

do we each bring different food?

Of course.

It will be packed with mothers and grandmothers.

It's a good time for us to get new clients.

I'll bring mung bean barley soup.

Okay.

I'll bring sticky rice.

(Cheers Realty)

Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang.

You didn't answer my call earlier.

Ms. Zhang.

Are you in your room?

(Cheers Realty)

Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang.

This is Wu Yi Heng from the Banqiao branch.

- Our office has been broken into. - The bonsai trees...

I've been taking care of are all damaged.

What happened?

Yes, the computers are still here.

Goodness.

Okay.

Da Shan, please call the police.

Call the police now.

What happened?

An Qi, see if you're missing anything.

Was there a thief?

What's going on?

- What... - Take out your phones...

and take a picture of your seat.

The window is open.

No way.

It must've been unlocked and the thief got in through there.

Who was the last one to leave yesterday?

It wasn't me.

No, my money is still here.

My bankbook is still here.

My watch is still here.

My cola is gone.

What was this thief thinking?

(Cheers Realty)

Mr. Wu.

This guy seems to be looking for something specific.

Look at these two seats.

He's going through them thoroughly.

Isn't that An Qi's seat?

Why are you looking at me? I don't know him.

I think...

it might be some creepy guy who has a crush on you.

Does he have a crush on Xiao You too?

Who's Xiao You?

He's our colleague.

Xiao You is our new assistant who has only been here for a month.

He's not here now.

When he comes back, I'll ask him if he knows the guy.

Anyway,

he didn't get anything.

We don't know his motive.

I think he'll come back in the near future.

You should be careful.

If anything happens,

contact us right away.

Hello, Uncle.

An Qi.

The guest in Room 225 was strangled to death.

So many murders in such a short time.

I suspect there's something wrong with the hotel's feng shui.

Do you know any expert in this field?

Yes.

Have you called the police?

They just came by.

It's the one my mom and I used to live in.

Yes. This is it.

What did the police say?

The victim was also a prostitute.

She was in her 40s.

The police suspect...

that it might be the same culprit.

The method is the same.

An Qi.

Help me get rid of this place.

Your aunt is scared to death.

Yes, the company has already printed the brochure.

I brought the power of attorney today.

I just need your seal.

Okay.

Let's move then.

Okay.

The thief in black.

Is it up there?

Uncle.

Don't worry too much.

Watch your health.

As for the case, leave it to the police.

Leave the sale of the hotel to me.

- There won't be a problem. - Okay.

Here. Take a look.

Okay, let me.

Ms. Zhang, stop following me.

Fine.

I'll take a look when I get home.

- Here it is. - Thank you.

These are disposable cutlery,

thermos, and some documents.

Okay.

The tent supplier will be here at nine.

- Okay. - I'll pick them up.

It's Shiyun Foods.

- I'll take care of this. - You go.

There's sticky rice, fried radish cake, and rice noodles.

Two trays each.

Okay, Shiyun Foods is...

- Yes. - Okay.

This is Ms. Lin's room.

- It was taken eight days ago. - Also...

Isn't this the day Ms. Lin was killed?

The thief in black.

The thief in black killed Ms. Lin!

Could it be...

that Ms. Zhang was silenced?

Mom.

I went to the park...

to play with my friends.

They wouldn't play with me.

They thought I was weird.

Then I met a lady.

I wanted her to play with me.

But she didn't want to...

and told me to go away.

Then she scolded me.

I was so angry.

So I wanted to come home to you.

Only you wouldn't scold me.

I'd never make you angry.

I'm a good boy.

I'm the best.

Mom's jade pendant,

I'll get it back.

That girl has been naughty.

I'm going to beat her up.

An Qi.

The police told us to be careful.

Don't stay here too late and go home.

My client's taxes haven't been settled yet.

Be careful then.

Good night.

Yes, based on the actual price registration,

if you want to make a deal with that price,

it's going to be difficult.

That's right.

But it's okay, I can give it a try for you.

Sorry.

The number you dialed is unavailable.

Please try again later. Thank you.

Hey, why are you still up so late?

Have you been drinking?

Yes.

I'm selling properties in Tamsui.

There's still time.

I have.

But we need fate too.

Listen.

I've been participating...

in a luxury homes elite training course.

Maybe I can sell luxury homes in the future.

That way, I can earn more.

All right. Stop acting up when you're drunk.

Okay, let's talk tomorrow.

Okay.

Bye.

Goodness.

Why does my stomach hurt so much?

My house has been broken into. SOS!

(Cheers Realty Chat Group)

(My house has been broken into. SOS!)

Where's my medicine?

Who are you?

Who are you?

What are you doing?

What are you doing to me?

What the heck?

Where did you hide the Guanyin jade pendant?

What Guanyin jade pendant?

I don't have a Guanyin...

You mean Ms. Lin's Guanyin jade pendant?

That's mine! Where did you hide it?

I gave it to my colleague.

It's not in my house.

Stop lying to me!

I saw that old man give you the pendant...

from across the hall.

I've already killed those two wenches!

- I might as well kill you too! - It's not here!

- An Qi! - I...

- Xiao You. - Are you okay?

Xiao You.

Watch out!

Xiao You, watch out!

Xiao You!

Xiao You!

Watch out, Xiao You!

Stop fighting!

- Screw you! - Don't do this!

Screw you!

Don't move!

- He's the bad guy! - Get down!

He's the bad guy!

An Qi, are you okay?

Are you hurt?

- Xiao Shan. - I was so scared.

Luckily, you're okay.

Did you call the police for me?

Thank you.

Li Mu Sheng,

you trespassed on a private property...

and illegally restrained Lu An Qi.

Do you plead guilty?

Where's my mom's Guanyin jade pendant?

Mom, don't be angry.

I know what I did was wrong.

I lost something very important to you.

Mom, I'm sorry.

Mom!

I'm sorry.

Li Mu Sheng, I'm talking to you.

Do you hear me?

Officer,

my mom left it for me.

That lady took it.

Mom passed away five years ago.

Li Mu Sheng, why are you crying?

Room 225 and Room 201's...

Zhang Mei Yu and Lin Feng.

Did you kill them both?

Mom...

Your body wash smells so good today.

Handsome.

Don't wear your mom's clothes all the time.

Sometimes, I want to wear your sister's too.

Don't touch it.

You asked me to kiss you just now.

It's 500 dollars more.

I don't have enough cash.

I'll pay you next time.

What next time? A hundred years from now?

I won't let you go until you pay up.

Give me the money.

Give me the money!

What are you doing?

Do you think I'm free? Pay up!

Give me the money! How did your mom raise you?

- Don't talk about my mom! - Give me...

You shameless jerk!

Rotten jerk!

Give me the money!

Your mom...

I dare you to mention my mom again.

Say it again.

Your mom must regret having you!

- Don't talk about my mom! - Your mom must regret having you.

- Don't talk about my mom! - Your mom...

Don't talk about my mom!

Don't talk about my mom!

Don't talk about my mom!

Don't talk about my mom!

Help...

Don't talk about my mom.

Thank you for coming in time.

Or else, I don't know what would have happened.

No problem.

Where do you want this painting?

- Just leave it there for now. - Okay.

Thank you, Xiao Shan.

Bye.

An Qi.

Xiao Shan said they were out of popcorn chicken.

- He just bought something else. - Okay.

You don't know where I live.

How did you get here so fast?

Were you stalking me?

No. I'm not like that pervert from earlier.

Then how did you get here...

if you don't know my address?

Because...

Because what? Tell me.

Or I'll call the police.

Because...

Ms. Lin told me.

Ms. Lin? Which Ms. Lin?

The one who lived in Room 201.

Is it funny to joke about the dead?

Do you have psychic abilities?

What did Ms. Lin tell you?

Exactly.

I have psychic abilities.

Ms. Lin told me that you were in danger.

So I followed her here.

What a load of crap.

If you don't tell me, I'll call the police.

Okay, wait.

This.

This is a photo...

from a flash drive I picked up in Room 225.

It was Ms. Zhang's spirit that guided me...

to find the flash drive.

Ms. Zhang wanted to blackmail...

Ms. Lin's killer with the photos.

But she was killed too in the end.

So she asked me to give the photos to the police.

If you still don't believe me,

actually...

Ms. Lin...

Where is she?

Here.

Ms. Lin.

Can you give me a hand?

I didn't expect to see Qi Qi again.

You've grown up...

and become even prettier.

Relay it for me.

She said,

"I didn't expect to see Qi Qi again."

"You've grown up and become even prettier."

Unlike me, who could only stay in the same place.

"Unlike me, who could only stay in the same place."

But I think I can finally leave.

"But I think I can finally leave."

Thank you.

"Thank you."

I meant you.

You're welcome.

I'm leaving.

Take care.

"I'm leaving."

"Take care."

She's gone.

So you can smell them at any time?

Not anytime.

Basically, whenever they show up,

I'll smell them first.

But if I have a cold or a nose allergy...

Anyway, if I have a stuffy nose, I can't smell or see them.

Like when I came to Ms. Lin's place last time,

I couldn't sense her.

I got over my allergy recently,

and that's when I got the message from her.

I've given the Guanyin jade pendant to the police.

Thank you, Xiao You.

You're welcome.

We're from Cheers Realty, Heyi branch.

Come here, everyone.

Let's not talk about business today.

We're not buying or selling houses today.

We just want good neighbors.

Let's support each other and fight together.

Okay?

It's cooked, so you won't get drunk.

- Don't worry. - If you're interested,

- Thank you. - don't hesitate to contact me.

- Mulled wine. - Thank you, everyone.

Hello. Do you want some tissue?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Hello. - Do you want radish cake?

- Okay, come back if you need more. - They're fresh.

- No problem. - Okay, be careful.

(Cheers Realty)

Put on your mask.

Don't get an allergic reaction again.

An Qi, I'm fine.

From now on, when you work with me,

make sure your nose is clear.

Don't let it affect your ability.

Ability?

The ability to appraise stigmatized properties.

You're slow, dull-witted, passive, and lazy.

After these past few days,

I finally found a reason to keep you.

Hurry.

Okay.

Here, we have mulled wine.

Come, we have freshly cooked mulled wine.

Do you want some water?

Sorry.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Who is it?

Is anyone here?

(Happy Stigmatized Houses)

Ms. Lin,

(35, Lane 1, Guangzhou Street, Wanhua District, Taipei)

I never thought we'd meet again like this.

(Case 039)

I'll live well.

(Explicit stigmatized house)

You do so too, in the afterlife.

(Two prostitutes were murdered in Rooms 201 and 225.)

Thank you.

Goodbye.
