Namo Amitabha

Zhou Lan's memorial tablet

Psych-Hunter

Old Master.

What is it?

Chen Gui,

your wife is missing and you're still playing mahjong?

What?

She is missing?

How come I don't know?

Old Master, Madam hasn't been home for two weeks.

I filed a police report.

You

are getting unruly.

Taking matters into your own hands

without Old Master's permission.

I think

my sister only stayed over at her friend's house a few days.

Did you look for her at her friend's house?

Why should I?

She has been enjoying her freedom.

I feel better when she's not around.

Whoever is free can look for her.

-One bamboo. -I won.

Look what you did!

I played the wrong tile.

Let me make something clear.

I will not

shed a tear

even if she gets killed out there.

Let's continue.

This rich man

treated Chun Na very well at first.

He'd give her anything to spend time with her.

He even spent a huge sum of money

to redeem her.

All of us felt

Chun Na was lucky

to have found the right man.

She'll no longer be stuck here,

free to live a happy life.

But the good relationship didn't last long.

Later,

we'd always see bruises on her arms and knees.

One day,

she was beaten badly and hospitalised.

We then knew that

the man was a drunk and a wife beater.

Just seeing the wounds on her hands

is saddening.

We asked her to file a police report.

But she wouldn't.

We knew that man but not his true nature.

Although Mr Cao

works in a western departmental store,

he looks down

on prostitutes like us.

To him,

women like us

are his to command,

beat and scold.

He thinks we deserve it.

Sir,

I've told Chun Na many times

to leave this man.

And you know what she said?

She said, love should last a lifetime.

Don't you think that's silly?

What's the man's full name?

Cao Yun Yi.

When did all of you realise she's missing?

About three weeks ago.

We haven't seen her since.

Thank you.

Sir, you should come often.

Yin Yin realised she was pregnant

after a checkup at the hospital.

She was scared and went to look for Pan Huan immediately.

Wait a minute.

Who is Pan Huan?

Her boyfriend in university.

This guy is a bad guy.

He wanted to break up with Yin Yin because of this,

and asked for an abortion.

Yin Yin hated Pan Huan so much.

She'd rather jump off a building

than to abort the baby.

I haven't seen her

since that day.

I think it's been more than ten days now.

Yes. Two weeks.

Liu Yin Yin, two weeks.

The two missing

Thank you.

Okay, thank you both of you.

These are the notes from our investigation.

Everything is here.

Looks like

someone's trying to confuse us.

How do you know?

Are you a psychic?

How about this?

Let us discuss

Clinic

the case at the clinic.

The nurses in the clinic went missing for two days.

Their families didn't care about their safety at all.

They just said that the clinic has deducted their salaries.

Moreover, they reported the case to the police on the same day.

It is obvious that

the nurses were not satisfied with the clinic.

They ran away in an act of defiance.

Now, let's talk about

Liu Yin Yin, Zhou Lan, Chun Na, Wang Gui Fen

Liu Yin Yin,

Wang Gui Fen

and Chun Na.

From the timing

and the notes,

they might be missing.

So everything makes sense.

Jiang Shuo, you're good.

I think your predictions are correct.

Don't praise me.

Everything I know,

your top detective

knows it, too.

Right?

Knock it off.

This is serious.

But

it is possible that

the same person is behind

all three missing cases.

Yes.

Cao Yun Yi has violent tendencies.

Wang Gui Fen wasn't on good terms with her husband

unlike the other mistresses.

Besides, Chen Gui is always moody.

He's very suspicious.

And the university student, Liu Yin Yin.

She was in love with a scumbag

who forced her to abort her baby.

If Liu Yin Yin was adamant

about not aborting the baby,

this man could've killed both of them

in order to protect his own reputation.

How about this?

Let us arrange the sequence of these missing cases.

Chun Na is Cao Yun Yi's wife.

She was the first to go missing.

After that,

Liu Yin Yin and Wang Gui Fen went missing,

Liu Yin Yin, Wang Gui Fen

followed by Zhou Lan and Qin Yan.

Zhou Lan

So...

Correct.

Cao Yun Yi

is the most suspicious.

From a psychological perspective,

once a person gets

a taste of violence,

he will lose control

and get hooked on it.

After Chun Na went missing,

Cao Yun Yi projected his violence

on other women.

That's why

Liu Yin Yin,

Wang Gui Fen and other women

went missing.

If that's the case,

then it's dangerous.

Let's not delay anymore. Qin Er, Mu Qing,

let's look for Cao Yun Yi at the department store.

Okay.

Bai Kai,

send someone to look for Pan Huan and Chen Gui.

My thoughts exactly.

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

Over here. Come catch me.

Come and get it.

Over here.

Little Jasmine.

I'm coming, Little Jasmine.

You can't escape from...

We are the police. Get out.

Don't go!

Don't go. Look...

Why are you two here again?

I'm from Changshanzhou Police Station.

We suspect you're related to a missing case.

Do you know this person?

Tell me.

Isn't this Zhou Lan from Lan Xin Cheongsam Boutique?

She's pretty.

She has a good figure.

I ordered a few cheongsams from her.

My intention was to witness her beauty.

But she was so cold to me.

You couldn't have her,

so you kidnapped her?

Kidnapped her?

Zhou Lan is missing too?

You're not suspecting me, are you?

Don't malign me.

It wasn't me.

Old Master,

quickly drink the medicine.

I'm not afraid to let you two know that

I have this disease.

Could I kidnap someone with this disease?

Old Master, you should drink the medicine.

We'll take your medicine

as evidence.

You've seen it too.

We only sell women's clothes here.

But Cao Yun Yi has a bad temper,

and would always argue with our female customers.

He's from a rich family.

How can he put up with the unreasonable customers?

Where is he?

Is he on leave today?

Actually, he hasn't shown up for days.

We've been filling in for him.

Where does he live?

Do you know?

Yes.

My parents think our backgrounds

are too different.

Although we study at the same university,

they forbid me from seeing Yin Yin.

She aborted the baby.

Since then,

I have not seen her.

As the saying goes,

"Man is but a slave"

"to his passions"

"which linger on"

"as the seasons pass."

You two had a good relationship.

Did you two ever argue?

Yes.

Of course we did.

Yin Yin was a

narrow-minded person.

I praised Zhou Lan in front of her a few times.

Then she approached Zhou Lan, pretending to buy a cheongsam.

After she came back, we quarrelled.

It was very bitter.

Zhou Lan from Lan Xin Cheongsam Boutique?

Yes.

That's her.

You're from a renowned family.

Aren't you afraid rumours of the abortion

might spread to the public?

How about I give you an idea

to make her disappear forever?

No.

You're trying to trick me.

Reputation is very important to me.

I'd never commit such a vile act

and ruin my own reputation.

Last month,

I went to Rongcheng

to take care of business.

I just came back a few days ago.

If you don't believe me,

you can ask the people in Rongcheng.

Okay, thank you.

This room is so messy.

Her Magazine

Look what he did to my picture.

He must hate every woman

in the world.

Look.

A blood-stained earring.

Why did he place it on the altar?

The blood stain has long solidified.

If the owner of this earring

were killed,

it would've been some time ago.

Grandma.

-Grandma. -Grandma.

How come you're here?

Who locked you up?

How did you get injured?

Were you beaten by Cao Yun Yi?

Grandma, you have to tell us the truth.

We're the police.

We can help you.

Don't arrest my son.

I hurt him.

I'm the one who hurt him.

He locked me up.

I admit it.

Cao Yun Yi

is your son?

Why did he do this?

About half a year ago,

he became bad tempered and violent

after he'd spent

all our family's money.

I don't blame him.

It's all my fault.

Grandma,

he treated you this way,

and you still side with him?

You shouldn't judge him like that.

It's all my fault.

Soon after he was born,

the old master passed away.

My temper spiralled out of control.

I'd always

whip him.

I even locked him in a small dark house

and beat him.

Now that

he has grown up,

he thinks all women

are bad people.

He used to whip

to beat Chun Na

and me.

And it's all because of me.

Grandma,

calm down.

Stop blaming yourself.

This thing

is getting out of hand.

The Chun Na that you mentioned

is missing.

And more women

are missing too.

We suspect it's related to your son.

Can you tell us

where your son is?

Although my son beat us,

he wouldn't kidnap anyone.

Sir,

is there any misunderstanding?

Grandma,

we can't confirm whether he's the culprit yet,

but we couldn't find him.

He's suspicious.

Grandma,

you know where your son is, right?

Can you tell us?

We found this blood-stained earring

in the living room.

He can hide now

but he can't hide forever.

If you tell us where he is,

we might

be able to help him.

Before he left, he was mumbling that

he wanted to go...

Where?

Taihua Road.

Chun Na,

I'm sorry.

Please don't blame me.

I was blinded by rage.

Rest

in peace.

Follow us to the police station.

You're such an unfilial son.

I have sent your mother to the hospital.

Let's talk about the murder.

It wasn't me.

I placed this earring

before the Buddha as a prayer.

I did it for atonement.

Atonement?

For the sin of killing Chun Na?

No.

It wasn't me.

21 days have passed

since the day

she was killed.

When I realised that,

I took her belongings

and prayed for the Buddha's forgiveness,

and burned offerings at Taihua Road.

Looks like

you have a good memory.

I'm hot tempered,

but she was my woman, after all.

It's all my fault.

If I didn't argue with her,

maybe

she wouldn't have died.

Thanks for the ride, Mr Jiang.

You're so pretty today.

Thank you, Mr Jiang.

-See you. -See you.

Finally, I caught you.

You're always hooking up.

You...

Do you know why I went back to Paramount to be a prostitute?

To pay off your gambling debts!

You,

always spending other people's money.

Look at this.

I earned it.

Do you want it?

Are you crazy?

Chun Na, don't go.

You're a jerk who only wants money!

Fine, go.

And don't come back!

What are you looking at?

She didn't come back

that night.

I went to Paramount

to look for her the next day.

They didn't know where she was, either.

So I looked for her

at Taihua Road.

I thought perhaps

she was asleep in one of the hotels.

I didn't expect

something like that to happen.

I asked someone

to obtain the earrings

from Southeast Asia two years ago

for her.

There's only one such pair

in Changshanzhou.

Since you realised

she was killed,

why didn't you report it to the police?

I suggest you come clean

however difficult it is.

If not, no one can help you.

And your wife's killer

will not be caught.

Her close friends knew

I had violent tendencies.

I'd beat her

when I was unhappy.

If I file a report,

you'd definitely suspect me.

I'd never be vindicated.

That's right.

You're doomed.

Don't you know that?

After Chun Na went missing,

four other women went missing.

How do you explain that?

There were more?

No...

You can't be suspecting me, right?

What's your relationship

with these four women?

I don't know any of them.

Look closely.

That's Zhou Lan on the left, isn't it?

How come you know Zhou Lan?

How do you know her?

How come you know a cheongsam tailor?

Chun Na's birthday

is coming up.

I wanted to give her a cheongsam as a present.

But there's a cheongsam boutique

nearby your house.

Why go all the way

to Zhou Lan's boutique?

Okay.

I admit it.

I lusted after Zhou Lan's beauty.

I did try to approach her.

But we've only spoken a few times.

You can't suspect me because of that, can you?

You're such a pervert!

You still want to argue now?

I swear to god,

I have nothing to do

with the missing women.

I remember it now.

After I argued with her,

I went straight to the casino.

I lost all my money

and was beaten badly.

My legs are still injured.

Changshanzhou Police Station

I've gone through all five places,

Pan Huan, Cao Yun Yi

but couldn't find a clue.

I've interrogated all three men.

Chen Gui's medicine checks out.

Pan Huan, Cao Yun Yi, Chen Gui

He really has a terminal illness.

Pan Huan wasn't in town.

Cao Yun Yi was in the casino.

Pan Huan, Cao Yun Yi, Chen Gui

All of them have alibis.

And none of them

knew the other victims either.

Although Jiang Shuo's deduction is good,

judging by the evidence,

someone else must be

behind the missing cases.

So,

what's next?

If

we put those men aside,

and look at these women.

Besides Qin Yan,

all of them loved to wear cheongsam.

And Qin Yan only has

the order tickets for the cheongsams

and the creepy pictures.

Could there be

another possibility?

During the interview, Qin Yan realised

something odd about the culprit.

She deduced that

the three women

were about to be killed,

and so

left those clues for us.

We can't continue

if that's the case.

We have to take the investigation

from the top.

We must examine

Chun Na's murder at Taihua Road again.

There must be some evidence.

Taihua Road?

Let me see.

I remember it now.

I went there when I was a kid.

There were rows of small uneven holes

on this green stone.

My dad told me

the holes were due to

the rain drops.

Here it is.

Great, Ms Yuan.

Take us there.

Let's go.

Namo Amitabha

Looks like this photo

was taken here.

What place is this?

It's always raining.

Now we can't investigate properly.

Fear not.

Don't worry, I'm here.

Poems of Na Lan Re

Why is there blood here?

Jiang Shuo,

there's a piece of cloth here.

There should be a corpse

under this cloth.

How can that shape

be a corpse?

It's the work of an insane killer.

The killer dismembered

the victim after the murder

and placed all the pieces nicely

before covering them up.

Are you crazy?

You won't be scared

if you're mentally prepared.

Zhou Lan's memorial tablet

I knew the killer was insane.

He even made memorial tablets

for his victims.

We must find the victims,

dead or alive.

Before we see any dead bodies,

we can't assume

they've been killed

by someone.

Turns out the blood stains on this thing

came from the cheongsam.

You're right.

Look, it's the four women.

It's believed that

the Yin aura is the strongest above the roof beam.

The killer hung the four women's cheongsam

on the roof beam

so they can't reincarnate after death.

That's so cruel.

What if he's kind

on the surface?

How would you know

he's cruel, then?

You've found more clues?

Zhou Lan's memorial tablet

Look at the writing.

Does it look

familiar?

Zhou Lan's memorial tablet

The writings are identical.

Does that mean

Qin Yan's the one

who erected the memorial tablets?

I can't be sure yet

if Qin Yan's the killer.

But I can confirm that

the four of them

must be related to Qin Yan.

The problem is,

Qin Yan is missing too.

She may be trying to avoid suspicion.

We don't know

what grudges

Qin Yan had

against the three women.

I saw Qin Yan's portrait

in the Psych before.

If Liu Zhi wants us

to follow his rules,

then

we have to find Qin Yan.

Poems of Na Lan Re

Evidence Room

Evidence Room

All her life, our lady boss

had put others

before herself.

She made cheongsam for others her whole life,

but none for herself.

The relationship between

Zhou Lan and Sun Zhi Liang

is unusual.

They are both unmarried

and are always together.

They're bound to

fall in love, right?

I

can only see her from afar.

When she worked through the night,

I worked with her.

When she was tired,

I made hot tea for her.

I helped her

with unreasonable customer requests.

I don't ask for anything in return.

I'm just happy

that I get to protect

and accompany her.

Master Sun,

take it easy.

Actually,

I have been wanting to make a cheongsam

for our lady boss.

But now,

she's missing.

I hope by the time the cheongsam is completed,

she'll be back safely.

Ms Yuan,

can you do me a little favour?

Shoot.

Your figure is similar

to our lady boss'.

If it's okay with you,

could you come over some time

so I could measure your body

as a reference?

Sure.

Ms Yuan,

thank you so much.

These words

are carved on the wood.

Chun Na's memorial tablet

How come there are red stains?

What is this?

Jiang Shuo,

look at this.

Rongke Cafe

is mentioned a few times in this report.

Looks like Qin Yan

really likes to go to this place.

Do you know where this cafe is?

Rongke Cafe?

There's one

in the east end of the city.

Rongke Cafe

Whether dead or alive,

transporting the women out of the city

would be risky.

If they are still in Changshanzhou,

it'd be safer to hide them in the eastern outskirts,

far away from Taihua Road

and the ancestral shrine.

Also makes escape easier.

Okay, let's have a look there.

Let's see if Qin Yan can hide forever.

-Let's go. -Wait a minute.

My legs

are numb.

Let's go.

Master Sun.

The mirror is here.

Master Sun’s craftsmanship is impressive.

This cheongsam

is really beautiful.

Well, Ms Yuan has the figure

and the charisma for it.

But

I think the waist

could be smaller.

Let me measure it for you.

Mr Sun,

how come the crayons here

are different from other tailors'?

They're all the same.

We use them for marking.

This way please.

Where is the young lady?

How tardy.

Doesn't she know we're waiting for her?

Women like to dress up.

She went to the tailor

early this morning.

She said she wants to fulfill Sun Zhi Liang's wish.

Let's not wait for her then. Let's go.

Wait a minute.

Sir.

Sir,

-wait... -Tell me when I come back.

No, it's about Mu Qing.

Last night, she asked me to examine the writing on the memorial tablets.

The results are out.

Zhou Lan's memorial tablet

Look.

The writings

are found to be made

by the crayons

from the boutique.

Crayons?

If it's a carving,

why did the killer write it

with crayons?

Unless

it's a cover-up.

The killer traced the words with crayons to hide his handwriting.

We can be sure that

the crayon is unique to the tailor.

Then it must be...

The cheongsam boutique.

-Oh my god. -Let's go.

-What's wrong? -Don't ask. Cheongsam boutique.

Everyone come. Cheongsam boutique.

Let's go.

Ms Yuan.

Why are you so interested

in this crayon?

I'm just curious.

Mr Sun,

you seem quite fond

of the red crayon.

The white one

is hardly used.

Do you like the colour red?

I'm a loyal person.

I'm used to red crayons,

so I didn't switch.

Ms Yuan,

let me measure it again for you.

Okay.

What's wrong?

We have no time. Let's run to the boutique.

Clean this place.

Yuan Mu Qing.

Jiang Shuo.

I found the killer.

Why are you showing off here?

Don't you know I'm worried about you?

Are you injured?

I never get injured.

Like I said,

I'm good at fighting.

You worry too much.

Sir,

I caught the suspect.

You have nothing to say, do you?

Let's go.

Hurry.

Yuan Mu Qing.

Do I look good?

No.

Why not?

I think it's pretty.

No, it's not.

Who said you could wear his clothes?

Sun Zhi Liang made this for Zhou Lan.

I'm trying it on for him.

You can't just...

As long as you're fine.

Get changed now.

You're jealous.

From the photos and the handwriting,

you thought we'd pin the crime

on Qin Yan.

Your purpose was to confuse us.

And these photos,

order tickets,

Liu Yin Yin's memorial tablet

memorial tablets

and everything at the scene

were arranged by you.

Zhou Lan's memorial tablet

Your purpose

was to make Qin Yan

the suspect.

Am I right?

Where did you hide her?

Tell us.

Why did you kill all of them?

What did they do to you?

Boss lady,

Zhou Lan's memorial tablet

don't worry.

I'll torture those women

who made your life difficult

to death.

The most painful thing in this world is not death.

Zhou Lan's memorial tablet

There are even more painful things waiting for them.

Stop telling nonsense.

You're a wolf in sheep's clothing.

What did you do to those women?

Where did you hide them?

Tell us!

You want to know?

Next life.

Those wenches shouldn't dream of leaving this world peacefully.

You guys

are wasting your effort.

They deserved to wait for their deaths

in a dark corner.

You fiend.

Tell me,

where did you hide them?
