[The Wanted Detective]

[Three years later]

[Happiness]

[Calming Waves]

[Episode 3]

Xueman.

Dad!

Dad,

I will find him.

[Southern suburbs, the capital]

[There's surely a catch
with the burnt corpses.]

[Northern suburbs, the capital]

[There's surely a catch
with the burnt corpses.]

[Elite Constabulary Unit]

Give it to me. Let me try it.

Give it to me.

Let me try it.

[Elite Constabulary Unit]

Come on.

[Fang Yin, Elite Constabulary Unit]

Beiming!

Beiming, save me!

Zhuge is going to chop off my finger!

Bite it.

Go.

Go.

Where is the dossier
of the burnt corpse case?

How would I know?

Find it yourself.

Since when did you
start managing this place?

My uncle just appointed me.

The Case File Room is very important

to the Elite Constabulary Unit.

Each clue recorded in the dossier

can be the key to solving the case.

The dossiers here

used to be neatly arranged

and meticulous.

Now look what you've done

to this place.

Don't be so picky.

As if you have nothing better to do.

I don't care

how you got this position.

Since you're in charge of this place,

you have an obligation
to fulfill your duties.

You'd better immediately

restore the Case File Room

as it used to be.

Zhong Xueman, who do you think you are?

Now the Elite Constabulary Unit
is under the Fang family's control.

Do you know?

I said restore it.

Immediately!

Hell no way.

Chief.

The forest in the eastern suburbs

has been cleared.

This case is very important.

Before the murderer is caught,

all the clues

must be kept strictly confidential.

[Fang Tianzheng]
[Chief of the Elite Constabulary Unit]

Deputy Chief Fang,

this is General Huo Zongyao,

Commander of Yulin Officers.

General Huo.

You can't tell anyone else

in the Elite Constabulary Unit.

Chief, you mean...

I heard

she has recently returned to the capital.

I understand.

[Zhu Yitie, Elite Constabulary Unit]

Yitie.

You've been working for the unit
for less than three years.

You're meticulous and thorough.

I've been trying to help you get promoted.

This case is a good chance.

Try to do a good job.

I won't let you down.

Tong Shuang.

Yes.

I apologize.

You're new here.

Given time,

you'll certainly achieve great things.

[Tong Shuang, Elite Constabulary Unit]

But today,

learn more from Yitie, your senior.

I understand.

Whenever constables are on duty,

they shall carry their swords and tokens
with them.

Tokens on the left
and swords behind the back.

This is the rule
of the Elite Constabulary Unit.

Remember this clearly.

Well, what if someone is left-handed?

Are you?

No.

Then just do

as the rule specifies.

Got it.

When there is no case to deal with,

the morning shift
is from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.,

classes from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,

and evening training from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

You can start earlier,
but make sure not to be late.

If you are late by 15 minutes tomorrow,

go to the Discipline Hall
and accept your due punishment.

Senior?

She...

She...

Who's trying to
break into the Elite Constabulary Unit?

Nice moves.

You're quite heavy for a woman!

Perfect timing. Come and help.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Go away. Go away.

Xueman.

Get up. Get up.

What happened?

Why did you fight each other?

Senior.

Look what you did.

This is Zhong Xueman,
the daughter of King Zhong of Constables.

Zhong Xueman?

I put them here just now.

I didn't throw them at will.

I'll pick them up right away.

[Dossier of the Elite Constabulary Unit]
[Burnt Corpse Case in the Eastern Suburbs]

I'll take this scroll.

Well, it hasn't been filed yet!

Well...

Alright, that's it.

Don't just stand there.

Get back to work.

[Secret Investigation Unit]

Young Master.

I just received news.

After Zhong Xueman
returned to the Elite Constabulary Unit,

she reviewed

several dossiers
of recent burnt corpse cases

that happened in the capital.

Burnt corpse cases?

I retrieved the dossier

in the name
of the Secret Investigation Unit.

All these years, Zhong Xueman

has been investigating

the leads on Xiao Beiming.

Why would she be

interested in such cases?

There is only one possibility.

These cases are related to Xiao Beiming.

[Zhong Mansion]

[Eastern suburbs]

Look at this.

This wanted poster has been up
for three years,

and Yesha still hasn't been caught.

[Qi Kingdom]

[Wanted]

Yesha committed a huge crime.

Faced with layers of encirclement

and shot by an arrow,

he was badly injured.

So he had to jump into Fengbo Lake
to escape.

After that, there is no trace of him.

And three years have passed.

King Zhong of Constables

suffered the most,
who raised him since his childhood

and treated him as his own son.

King Zhong of Constables

was sewn and murdered by him.

It's really inhumane.

How treacherous his intentions are!

Great! Great! Great!

Then this junior

is really pitiful.

Yeah.

Not only was she tricked
into getting married,

but she also witnessed
her biological father being killed.

Have a grape.

You're still so hot-tempered.

Just say it.

I don't like the person

you're being now.

Wait.

I do have something to tell you.

It's about Xiao Beiming.

As you know,

after the Fengbo Lake case

three years ago,

the Elite Constabulary Unit is no longer
what it was before,

completely falling out of favor

with His Majesty.

The Secret Investigation Unit
is in charge of

every important and major case.

Especially your senior...

The Yesha case.

What on earth are you trying to say?

I want to work with you.

Work with me?

Over the past three years,

many murders following Yesha's method

have occurred.

At all the crime scenes,

his name was left.

Every time a case occurred,

you conducted an investigation.

But in the end?

They just imitated him

to frame him.

It's been three years.

Yucheng, Kuizhou,

East Sea, and West Wastelands.

You've been to so many places

and solved so many cases,

but you've still failed to find him.

Am I right?

Why don't you consider working with me?

We can find him together.

No need.

In this world,

besides you,

I want to find him more than anyone else.

Now you have proved

your ability to investigate a case
and hunt for a murderer.

And we have the same goal.

If we work together

and share information,

we will find him

in time.

I told you I don't need it.

What else do you want to say?

I've always wanted to ask you.

You don't think

Xiao Beiming

is the murder of the Fengbo Lake case,
right?

I only believe in evidence.

Fengbo Lake was tightly surrounded
that day.

At the crime scene,

no one else

could get a chance to get on the boat
to commit murder.

Per the coroner's exam results,

the people on the boat
were all poisoned by knockout drops.

Then, they were sewn and murdered

while in a coma.

However, Xiao Beiming

was the only sober person.

He escaped

right under the crowd's noses.

We have solid evidence.

We both know his talent.

If he's not Yesha,

why did he run away?

If he is really wronged,

over the past three years,

why hasn't he shown up

and proved his innocence?

That's why I need to find him.

I must uncover the truth

from back then.

If you really catch him,

and if he admits it,

what will you do?

I will kill him myself.

[Eastern suburbs, the capital]

It's a sewn corpse.

Xueman.

Long time no see.

Xiao Beiming, you finally showed yourself.

I didn't kill Master.

I gave you

the clue you got.

I know

you would find this place.

For the past three years,

I've been tracking leads

on Yesha.

Xueman,

if you're willing to believe me,

I will prove to you personally that

what happened on the boat

at Fengbo Lake three years ago

is never my doing.

Why should I trust you?

Don't move.

If you move again,

I'll kill you right now.

I'll show you the evidence.

You also found these pinholes

come from three crime scenes.

The victims are three brides.

But they weren't burnt

but rather

sewn to death.

These pinholes

are exactly the same as

those on the boat at Fengbo Lake
three years ago.

It means

Yesha has reappeared.

You showed up right when the sewing murder
happened.

Doesn't that just mean

you are Yesha?

Master's tunnel

is a good place to hide.

If you

don't make it clear,

this place can be your grave.

I spared your life

because I want

to know what on earth happened

at Fengbo Lake back then.

My dad treated you like his own son.

Why did you do that?

If you dare to lie,

I'll kill you immediately.

I can only tell you,

not long after I got on the boat,

I passed out.

When I woke up,

what I saw is exactly the same

as what you saw.

As for what happened during the period
when I passed out,

I also know nothing about it.

Whether you believe me or not,

I can only tell you

that I'm not Yesha.

You still won't tell me?

Xueman...

Shut up.

Don't ever call me like that again.

[Wanted]

[Here rests my loving father,
Zhong Yunchi.]

[Dignified & Upright]

Don't act recklessly again

next time when you work on a case.

You're lucky this time.

I regret it.

I will be extra careful next time.

Dad, Beiming is injured.

No more scolding, please.

And I haven't lectured you yet.

I've taught you how to dress a wound
so many times.

Still haven't mastered it?

With your treatment,

his injury

won't heal even in a month.

Dad, you...

Master.

It hurts?

Better let Xueman do it.

You brat.

Master.

What on earth happened back then?

[Feng Qingzhuo, Coroner,
the Elite Constabulary Unit]

Coroner Feng.

Constable Zhong!

Don't get me wrong.
They're not human organs.

I'm just curious

about the difference
between pigs and humans.

I want poison.

Any official documents
from the Elite Constabulary Unit?

We need to report it
if you need any poison.

It concerns a felon.

We don't want to alert him.

After it's done,

I will report it to the unit myself.

You don't believe me?

You saved my life, Constable Zhong.

I'll do anything for you.

It's okay.

Just help me keep it a secret.

These are the precious poisons
I've stored.

This poison is called Cracking Pill.

Take it,

and one's skin will crack
and bleed nonstop.

Without an antidote,

he or she will die in half a day.

This one is called Heart-piercing Arrow.

It will attack the heart directly

with no visible wounds left.

Take it, one's heart will race like crazy,

and he will die

in an hour if there's no antidote.

I'm not trying to kill anyone.

Is there any medicine that can

seal someone's internal energy

and martial arts skills, depriving

him of his strength

to make him even unable to stand up?

Yes.

This one!

This is called Paralysis Pill.

Even a cow will be paralyzed

after taking it.

If you feed it to a man,

even the top martial artist

will be as weak

as a baby for half a month.

Even someone like me

can beat him up.

Then I'll take this.

My decoction h-has dried up!

Take it.

Thank you.

Constable Zhong!

Feel free to come again!

I've finally got a chance

to repay her help.

My decoction h-has dried up!

Take it.

Oh no.

Use the medicine
to deprive me of my internal energy

and prevent me from fleeing away.

And it'll make the interrogation easier.

Cut the crap.

You keep saying you're innocent.

What?

Afraid I'll kill you with poison?

You don't have to go through

all this trouble if you want to kill me.

I chose to show up today,

and I never thought of running away.

Cut it out.

If you are wronged,

why have you been hiding
for three whole years

until another sewing murder case
occurred in the capital?

You appeared at the scene immediately!

Because he's disappeared
for three years as well.

Were it not for
another sewing murder case in the capital,

I would have kept lurking in the dark

and continued to investigate it

just like the way you looked for me

before catching him.

I showed up at the crime scene today

because I was betting my life.

On what?

On a person.

Even if everyone
in the Qi Kingdom believes

I am Yesha,

there's still one person

who will definitely

suspect it and get
to the bottom of it for me.

Because no one

knows me better than her.

I met her today

because I was betting on her suspicion.

If she really thought

I killed her father,

when we met today,

her Bi'an Sword

should have pierced my heart

instead of my shoulder.

I'm not asking you

to completely forgive me.

But I hope you can

keep this trace of suspicion

and let me stay by your side

to investigate the case with you.

I promise you

I won't let him get away with it again.

I will fetch you the truth

submerged in the Fengbo Lake
three years ago

with my own hands.

Constable Zhong.

Constable Zhong.

Constable Zhong.

C-Constable Zhong.

Constable Zhong!

Coroner Feng, what's wrong?

Constable Zhong!

The medicine!

I gave you the wrong one!

Did you take it?

Did you feed it to others?

What happened?

It's all my fault.

I gave you the bottle

without taking a close look.

You didn't take the Paralysis Pill,

but the Blood-freezing Frost.

What is it?

A deadly

and extremely rare poison.

How could you mix it up

with a deadly poison?

I'm sorry.

But it's not the time to blame me.

Let me give him some acupuncture.

Maybe there's a chance to save him.

Constable Zhong,

I'll give him acupuncture treatment.

Can you leave us alone for a while?

Why did he kill my father?

He killed several officers,

including your father,

just to stir up rumors

and spread fear.

The case about the statue's
tears of blood was done in secret.

But the Fengbo Lake case is different.

Don't forget that

it was my wedding day.

We were surrounded by our men.

Even if he made it,

he'd have been spotted.

My father

and the others were already in a coma

because of the knockout drops.

It was as easy as pie to kill them.

Why did he have to

choose the cruelest sewing murder?

The sewing murder technique

is not something
that can be mastered overnight.

I had spent more than ten years with him.

If he really were

a crazy murderer

who managed to hide it from me,

could he have deceived my dad?

Even if everyone in the Qi Kingdom

believes I am Yesha,

there's still one person

who will definitely

suspect it and get
to the bottom of it for me.

Constable Zhong!

How is he now?

Though I've used acupuncture on him,

the frost toxin

has already infiltrated into his body.

Blood-freezing Frost
is a slow-acting poison.

It will gradually seep

into his organs and meridians.

You mean there's no way to cure him.

Not really.

I've held the poison at bay.

He still has some time

before the next outbreak.

But as for how many days he can survive—

several months or several years—

it all depends on himself.

If we can find the antidote,

maybe

there's still a chance to save him.

You don't have the antidote?

This poison is extremely thorny.

All these years,

I've been working on the antidote.

But

no progress so far.

But don't worry.

The felon has lost all his martial arts

and internal energy.

Constable Zhong,

sorry for getting you into trouble.

Despite his identity as a felon,

I caused you to use the wrong poison.

I will go back with you

to explain it to the unit.

Be it imprisonment or punishment,

I won't implicate you.

[Wanted]

A fugitive?

He is Yesha, Xiao Beiming?

He is Yesha?

Good gracious!

It's okay, Constable Zhong.

Thank God we deprived him

of his martial arts

and internal energy!

Constable Zhong,

this is a great merit!

You caught Yesha!

And I made him...

Shut up!

Don't worry.

You won't die for now.

Thanks.

No, no.

I'm still not sure

if it's a merit or a mistake.

Constable Zhong,

about the Fengbo Lake case,

I know

you still have a lot of questions.

You said you fainted

soon after boarding the ship.

But I saw you holding a weapon

in front of my father

with my own eyes.

How do you explain that?

I did black out.

And then I woke up

to the scene where the Master
and the other three

were all sewn and murdered.

The first thing I did

was try to save the Master.

But the Master was sewn

onto the corner of the ship.

When I just pulled

the steel needle out of him,

you showed up.

I was poisoned back then.

My tongue was numb, and I couldn't speak.

Then I was shot by an arrow

and fell off the boat.

The four victims

were indeed hit with knockout drops,

leaving them

no strength to fight back.

As for whether you were poisoned,

that's just your statement.

Five people on the ship.

Four died.

You can make up a story as you please.

It can't be counted as evidence.

Of course.

If you didn't murder them,

with the four of them being drugged,

who could sew and kill the others

and himself

in that state,

letting you survive?

This is also what confuses me.

As you said,

there's no way

the murderer sewn and killed

the others and himself

after being drugged.

But what if

there is another possibility?

What if there was

a sixth man on the ship

besides the five of us?

Impossible.

Fengbo Lake was heavily guarded.

I was watching from upstairs
the whole time.

Anyone who tried to board the ship

would surely be spotted.

What if he was there the whole time?

I was too cocky three years ago.

I made an inference

that even misled myself.

I thought there was only one Yesha.

Over the past three years,

I've never stopped deducing.

From the murders of several ministers

to the Fengbo Lake case,

the victims died in different ways.

So,

I came up with an assumption.

If these people

were not killed by the same guy,

then the so-called Yesha

should be more than one person.

Yesha might be

an evil group scheming for something big.

How can you prove it?

I understand that

I can't win your trust

just with some deductions.

But one thing's for sure.

There are countless killers in this world,

but a lunatic who's skilled
in killing by sewing

should be one in a million.

Ordinary people can hardly do that.

Or maybe you

had been practicing

this evil technique

behind everyone's back.

You still have no solid evidence.

Of course.

Let's not talk about whether

this evil man is me.

He is good at sewing murder,

so let's call him Tailor.

The recent three
sewing murder cases in the capital

are exactly the same in method

as the Fengbo Lake case back then.

If they were all done by Tailor,

as long as we catch him,

we'll get the evidence

to prove that

I'm not the culprit

of the Fengbo Lake case.

If you're telling the truth,

why were

the bodies in the three cases

all burned?

The burning

and the victims' blood coagulation

didn't happen at the same time.

They were sewn and killed first,
and then burned.

Someone burned their bodies

to cover up the truth

deliberately.

If Tailor really exists,

why did he sew and kill them first,
and then burn the bodies?

Wasn't that unnecessary?

Tailor didn't burn the bodies.

It was the Elite Constabulary Unit.

Let's go.

I found this

at the crime scene.

You know what this is.

Isn't it
the Elite Constabulary Unit's igniter?

Sorry.

You two go on.

It's Fang Tianzheng.

Exactly.

Since the Fengbo Lake case,

the Elite Constabulary Unit

has lost His Majesty's favor.

Even the Yesha case has been handed

over to the Secret Investigation Unit.

Now the sewing murders occurred again.

I guess

Fang Tianzheng wants to

cover it up to avoid

unnecessary trouble

by burning the corpses.

Even if what you said is true,

as the sewing murders did happen,

it still can't prove

the existence of Tailor.

Neither can it prove

that you're not the so-called
Yesha and Tailor.

Do you have a map here?

Western suburbs.

No case has occurred there.

The victims

are all weak,

female newlyweds.

Tailor brought these brides

to such a remote place,

sewn and killed them.

It was meticulously arranged

for a special purpose.

Then what do they want?

East,

south,

west,

and north.

These four directions

are of special significance

in the legend of the Qi Kingdom.

Constable Zhong,

you are familiar with folk novels.

Do these four directions

remind you of anything?

[Eastern suburbs]

[Map of the Capital of Qi]

Four Devils Formation?

What is the Four Devils Formation?

When the Qi Kingdom was founded,

the former dynasty didn't give up.

They set up the Four Devils Formation
around the capital.

Word has it that those who died

in the formation in wedding clothes

will be haunted by devils forever

and never go to the afterlife.

Tailor committed the three sewing murders

at the three corners
of the Four Devils Formation.

[Eastern suburbs]

That means

there will be the fourth sewing murder.

If there's really going
to be the fourth one,

then it will happen...

What time is it now?

It's just past 3 a.m.

The corpse-sewing cases happened

every three days in the capital.

And today

happens to be the third day

after the third case.

Previous cases all happened at night.

If Tailor really

killed based on the Four Devils Formation,

[Western suburbs]

then tonight, there might be

the fourth murder in the western suburbs.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop.

Keep an eye on him before I come back.

Let no one out.

Wait.

No one has ever seen

Tailor's real face.

We don't know how good
he is at martial arts.

Constable Zhong!

[Western suburbs]

[Western suburbs, Capital]
