"Ancient Detective"

"Episode 1"

In the whole wide world,

there're people with great ambition,
heroes with skilful martial arts。

They had decided to
build an ideal martial world.

However, in the martial world,
a murderer who could slaughter...

with quick swordsmanship called
Wang Hua, suddenly showed up.

The dead bodies which
he had left behind...

were like dried leaves during autumn,
which covered half of the river.

So, he was named as
Ban Jiang Ku Ye.

As the world was full of
misery and suffering,

all the heroes were determined
to fight till their death.

Together they fought against the
Devil Wang Hua at Shenji Valley.

However,
the Battle of Shenji Valley...

turned out to be a huge defeat.

The eldest brother, Jian Jin Huan
had fought Wang Hua till his death.

However, Wang Hua's
body was vanished.

Everyone had kept
silence about this incident.

A bigger secret was buried,

awaiting for the younger
generation to reveal the truth.

"Eight years later"

The noodles are here.

Coming.

Sir, your noodles.

Enjoy your meal.

Waiter, please fill up our bottles.
We're going to hit the road.

Yes, coming.

Sir, I'm filling it up for you.

Waiter.

Sir, please come in.

Sir, take a seat over here.

Eldest Brother, I didn't steal
the Golden Buddha.

What should I say to
make you believe me?

My third brother,

after the four of us took
the Golden Buddha out of the tomb,

you're the only one who kept it.

Who would believe you
if you say it's missing?

Tell me, where did you hide it?

Eldest Brother,
I wouldn't dare to do so.

I really don't know.

My third brother,
if you really took it,

just hand it out to
our eldest brother.

Eldest Brother, even if you kill me,

I still don't know about it.

Stop denying it.

I'm going to kill you now!

Sir, we're having a hard time
running a small business here.

Get up and move aside!

-Are you okay?
-Eldest Brother, I didn't do it.

You guys are beating up a girl?

Apologise to her.

It's none of your business.

Don't you understand what I'm saying?

Apologise to her.

Apologise?

We are having our own problem here.

Will an apology make us
be able find the Golden Buddha?

If you don't apologise,

I'll beat you up and
turn you into a Golden Buddha.

Okay, give it a try.
Bring it on!

Wait.

The Golden Buddha, I know where it is.

You know it?

Young fellow, you're going to
get yourself into trouble.

I don't want to die yet.

Your third brother
didn't take the Golden Buddha.

One of you is lying.

Who are you?

It has nothing to do with you!

Eldest Brother, be careful.

Young fellow, go on.

Where is the Golden Buddha?

Since you all came into the shop,

I've found that...

one of you acted very abnormal.

Everybody put all the
weights on one side.

But you,

why didn't you put the
bamboo tube on the table as well?

Me?

You've been drinking so much water.

That means you were very thirsty.

But after entering this shop,
why didn't you...

ask the waiter to fill up
the water for you?

It showed that the
bamboo tube is full of water.

It was clearly a contradiction.

I've almost forgotten that
I still have this on my shoulder.

No, you didn't forget.

Every time they talked about
the Golden Buddha,

you couldn't help but touched
the strap on your shoulder.

It has caused a flaw.

The marks on your
shoulder are too deep.

It proves that the
bamboo tube isn't filled with water.

It's something heavier than water.

The truth is...

the Golden Buddha is
inside your bamboo tube.

Let me see.

Second Brother, it was you.

-No, no...
-How dare you lie to me?

Mind your own business!

Catch him!

Thank you for your help.

Brother,

why are you so smart?

What do you do?

I'm a detective.

I couldn't help but say a few words
when I was involved in a case.

I'm Zhao Wo Huan
from Mount Wangwu.

Brother, you look like a good guy.
Let's be friends.

Thank you for your kindness.

May I know your name?

I'm Jian Bu Zhi from Shenji Valley.

I owe you one today.

I have to take my brothers
back to report our duty.

I'll pay you a visit next time.

Just a small matter. Don't mention it.

-Let's move.
-Let's go.

Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jian.

That's too much.

Please rise.

Goodbye.

See you again.

Zhao, I have a long way to go.
See you again.

All right. Goodbye.

A detective.

Are you going to Hanyue Villa?

Yes.

That's right.

We're going to the
martial arts competition anyway.

Why don't we compete here?

You may have misunderstood.

I'm not going there
for the competition...

because I don't know any martial arts.

You have such a great sword,

but you're saying that
you don't know martial arts?

This is not a weapon.

It's just a piece of evidence.

Evidence?

Why are you so long-winded?
Why don't we just kill him?

Kill him!

So, both of you are
the chiefs of Heishuitang.

You're Ghost Fan, Ah Jie.

He has told you that
he doesn't know martial arts,

but you're still
unwilling to let him go.

Can you be reasonable?

Even just for a little bit.

People like you, who are
stupid and with bad intention,

shouldn't live in this martial world.

You're right.

I'll retire from
the martial world now.

Thank you for your help.

I love to kill people
who don't talk any sense.

I love people like you,
who don't know about martial arts.

Why?

People who don't know martial arts,
are willing to talk with reasoning.

Right, since you're not
going for the competition,

why do you want to go to Hanyue Villa?

I'm going to look for the two owners
of the villa, The Swords Masters, Li.

I'm going to ask them about
some past events.

Don't you know that the eldest
of the two owners, Li Chi,

was assassinated eight years ago?

His brother, Second Master Li,
was blinded as well.

I don't think he is all there.

I heard that they want to pick a
successor through the competition.

So, here I am.

Since we're on the same way,
let's go together.

Okay.

Hua Yuan, long time no see.

Why are you here?

You invited me.

Here. This is the invitation card.

We didn't send any invitation card.

But since you're here, please come in.

I'm Hua Yuan,
the eldest disciple of Hanyue Villa.

You need to register
before the competition.

I'm Jian Bu Zhi from Shenji Valley.

I'm not here for the competition.

I'm here to visit Second Master Li.

Okay.

This way, please.

Please.

Where is Ah Jie?

He always behaves like that.

Please.

Master, someone wants to meet you.

Sir.

I'm Jian Bu Zhi from Shenji Valley.

Jian Bu Zhi.

Sir.

Your father and I were close friends.

It has been so many years.

You're all grown up now.

Yes.

What brings you here?

I want to know about the Battle of
Shenji Valley eight years ago.

Do you still remember it?

You came here for this?

Back then, your father summoned
my brother and I...

to defeat Wang Hua at Shenji Valley.

My brother was poisoned,
he couldn't travel far.

I went to the Shenji Valley by myself.

Your father led us to
battle against Devil Wang Hua.

Your father died in the battle.

My eyes were blinded at that time.

I was too young back then.

My brain was seriously injured.

When I woke up,

I've lost all my memories.

That battle was terrible.

I want to know everything regarding
that tragedy at Shenji Valley...

because I suspect that
Devil Wang Hua is still alive.

How is that possible?

I witnessed your father
died together with him.

But I didn't find his body
at Shenji Valley.

Let it be history.

We must learn to let go.

I can't let go.

I'm the only detective
at Shenji Valley.

My duty is to find out the truth.

I can't accept when
the truth is turbid.

I've read my father's letter.

There are four people
who survived that battle.

Master Bai Cao Zhe from Ningzhou,

Handy Tang from Changle Casino,

Chief Wang from Santong Security,

and you.

I just want to know the whole truth.

I want to know...

how could Wang Hua's body be missing?

Wang Hua's indeed dead.

It's nothing to be faked.

About the battle eight years ago,

after the martial arts
competition is over,

we'll talk about it in details.

Okay.

Am I at the wrong direction?

You're here at the right time.

I'm old and I want to retire.

But, I don't have any children.

So,

I'd like to give this villa to
the winner of the competition.

You're going to be my witness.

Understood.

What's the point of
having a competition?

Second Master Li,

you just hand out the title deed
of the villa and it would be settled.

You...

I could be agreed with you,

but those who come for the competition
might not be agreed with you.

Since you're here,

your eldest brother
must be somewhere near.

You're so right.

My eldest brother is here.

Master Li, how are you getting on?

Ah Jie?

Da Dan,

this is Jian Bu Zhi,
I met him on my way here.

We'll be a family from now on.

Just the two of you?

I'm an old beggar who has spent
my whole life in a broken temple.

I want to live a
peaceful life in the villa as well.

Even an old beggar
is interested in this villa.

Looks like my villa has
some prestige in this world.

Old beggar,

do you know my friend, Jian Bu Zhi?

Sir, have we met before?

Never.

-Ah Jie,
-It's so lively here.

I, Shen Lin, the corpse walker,
can't miss out the fun.

How dare you, a liar,
fake a zombie again?

Are you trying to scare us?

Watch your words.

You are nothing good either.

You've offended many people
in the martial world...

with all the illegal affairs
that you've done, right?

Don't touch! Mind your hands,
you'll get bad luck if it falls.

Are you blind?

I'm good at dividing assets.

I'm called The Black Lady
for a reason.

Miss, please register yourself!

It's already late.

Everyone, please have a good rest.

The competition will
start tomorrow morning.

Miss, please register.

Miss.

I'm sorry for being late.

My surname is Zhan,
I'm here for the competition as well.

I ran into a pack of
wolves on my way.

So, I was delayed.

Master, this lady is
covered in wounds.

Miss, you're injured. I'm afraid...

Not a problem.

All right.

After she has registered,
go get her some medicine.

Yes.

Everyone, please follow me.

Master.

Please.

Stop!

What are you looking at?

What do you know?

I don't want to say anything now.

I'm giving you a chance.

Say it.

No way.

I want you to tell me.

If you were attacked by the wolves,

your horse must be
injured before you.

But the horse outside is unharmed,

you've got wounds all over your body.

That means you did not
run into a pack of wolves,

but men.

Who are you?

I'm Jian Bu Zhi, a detective.

All right, Mr. Detective.

Now I'm telling you that
someone wants to kill you.

But I can save you,

do you need help?

Under what condition?

As long as you keep your mouth shut.

Hold on.

I want to know
who is trying to kill me.

Me.

If you dare to say any nonsense.

"Close Door Impermanence"

Close Door Impermanence.

Master, there are words
written with blood on the wall.

Close Door Impermanence.

Looks like we have an uninvited guest.

It's nothing strange about it.

Whatever it is,
let's start the competition.

-You wipe it off later.
-Yes.

Is there any problem?

Let's not talk about this.

Everyone has drawn
a lot for the sequencing.

We have only one rule.

Do not go any further than necessary.

First up, Zhang Da Dan
versus Miss Zhan.

Little girl,

don't blame me for bullying you.

Is that all you can do?

I...

Zhao Wo Huan.

It's really you!
Why are you here?

Jian, I come here to compete.

If I knew you're coming here,
then I'd come here with you.

Why are you so late?

I feel shameful about it.

I've lost my way.

You've arrived at a right time.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Miss Zhan,
you're good at martial arts.

You must be the Deadly Broadsword,
Hua Yuan.

I'm Zhao Wo Huan, from Mount Wangwu.

I'm here to compete.

Can I still register?

I have to ask my master.

So, this young fellow is going
to be your opponent.

You guys will be competing
at the second round.

Thank you.

We're both fighting with swords.

That's great.

You call that a sword?

Let me come clean.

I can't just do the bare minimum.

Why?

You're a famous martial arts expert.

I have to go all out.

Once I slay my sword,
there is no turning back.

It's okay.

Who are you exactly?

I don't have any title,
I was self-taught.

Your sword is so heavy.

Can your wrist manage it?

You're worrying too much.

Watch me.

Heavy Suppress!

Great moves!

But, the name of
that move is too flamboyant.

Shut up!

Pour out!

Wipe out!

Speedy ride!

Shakes the earth!

Raid attack!

Heavy Suppress!

You lost.

You can still fight like this.

Brother,
don't use the same trick twice.

Otherwise, people would
easily break your moves.

But you could do
all these by self-taught,

you're really talented.

If you can come out with
some better moves next time,

you'll definitely
have a bright future.

I'm inexperienced this time.

I fell for your trick.

If we are going to fight again,
I won't lose.

Thank you.

The third round,
Hu Ba Yue versus Shen Lin.

Your tricks are great.

Old beggar.

You've touched the part
where you shouldn't have touched.

Look at your palm.

You've got my Cannibalistic Gu Poison.

My poisonous worms will
root up when they touch the flesh.

Your flesh will be gone in two days.

It won't help even if
you chop your hand off.

Unless you give up.

If not,

even if you win the competition,

I'm afraid you
won't be able to enjoy it.

Everyone knows that...

The Beggars' Sect is good at
gathering information.

But not every piece of information
is from someone's own will.

Such a coincidence,

I'm an expert in interrogation.

Do you want to experience it?

How would you know that
I am not that person?

You could suffer a great loss
if I was that person.

You won.

Old beggar,

this is the antidote.

Put the antidote into your ears...

to prevent the worms
from entering your brain.

Listen to my flute these two days,

as long as the tunes are played,

you'll need to do a handstand
and slightly move to the right,

and the worms will leave eventually.

Hey, what are you doing?

Didn't I tell you not to touch it?

I didn't see it clearly
in the lobby yesterday.

So, I want to take a closer look.

Go away!

The third round, Shen Lin won.

It's getting late.

Today's battle ends here.

Heroes, stay in and rest for a night.

Let's continue tomorrow.

The blood on the words is very fresh.

Probably, someone wrote it
when we just arrived here.

Jian,

I shouldn't bring you along.

Why?

What a stupid detective.

Why are you asking
so much of questions?

If you don't want to say it,

then I won't ask any more.

But I have a hunch.

It's not something good.

We need to be more careful.

A horror myth?

That was what my father told me.

It's really scary.

He said the Close Door Impermanence
is a vengeful spirit.

After he died, he took revenge
for other wrongful deaths.

Those who have being targeted by him,

couldn't close their doors.

Couldn't close their doors?

We have to close the doors
at night when we sleep.

That's why it is scary!

Will you scare if you can't
close the door when you're sleeping?

If you close the door when
you're asleep, you'll lose your life.

Moreover, he has a habit,

After he killed someone,

"Close Door Impermanence"
must be written on a piece of paper.
