Episode 7

Changshan Grand Hotel

Mr Jack, you are back.

Don't disturb me.

Mr Jack, do you need dinner?

Get out!

I told you

not to disturb me.

It is you.

Mr Jack, your breakfast is here.

Mr Jack.

Mr Jack.

Mr Jack.

Psych-Hunter

A piece of film?

Who could these people be?

Qin.

Qin.

Qin, come over. I need to talk to you.

If you have something to say,

just go ahead and say it.

Did you know that Jack was murdered?

After the coroner performed an autopsy,

not a single clue was found.

I wish to

ask you to go take a look for me.

Or else,

his body will be transferred to the Westerners.

I'm sure you are aware

if the case still isn't solved,

we will face greater pressure.

Jiang Shuo's grave was robbed,

and Jack happened to be there.

Based on what Ms Yuan and Jiang Shuo

have gathered from the county records,

back then, Qiu Jing Xuan and Jack

entered the same competition.

Unfortunately, Qiu Jing Xuan did not win the competition

and brought shame upon the imperial court.

So his entire family was killed.

And all of these happenings

revolved around clocks.

Jiang Shuo, do you still have the drawings given by Liu Zhi?

Yes.

I always keep them with me.

Is this another one

of Liu Zhi's games?

Liu Zhi, again?

Bai,

I'll go check the body with you.

Ms Yuan,

bring Jiang Shuo along

to investigate that film.

No problem.

Let's go.

So it is this photograph.

Mister,

you know them?

It has been 20 years since.

I did not expect

I would come across this photograph which was taken 20 years ago.

Who are these people?

I took this when the high officials

of the old dynasty

visited Qiu Mansion with foreign guests.

At first, the court made Mr Qiu the royal watchmaker

so he could represent the Qing dynasty

in the International Horology Competition.

He was supposed to bring glory to his family

but who knew

his entire family was killed.

Mr Qiu?

Is that

Qiu Jing Xuan?

Who is this?

That is Qiu Jing Xuan's disciple.

Everyone used to call him Xiao Wu Zi.

But ever since the Qiu family's tragedy,

no one has seen him.

Xiao Wu Zi?

Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu.

I happen to know a

watchmaker by that surname.

Wu's Shop

Watch shop for sale at half price

Aren't they going to participate?

Why are they selling

the watch shop now?

That's right.

When my father told Mr Wu

to participate in the Changshan International Horology Competition,

Mr Wu once said

he will pass down

this shop to his son, Wu Liang.

Why is he selling the business to someone else?

Let's go in and take a look.

Mr Wu!

Wu Liang.

He is Mr Wu's son, Wu Liang.

I'm Jiang Shuo.

Ms Yuan came all the way here today.

How can I help?

We'd like our watch repaired.

Give me the watch.

Wu Liang,

where is Mr Wu?

My father is not around.

My father went out a few days ago to take care of personal matters

and is yet to come home.

Did he say where he went?

He did not elaborate.

He might be back after a while.

Be careful.

You're really something!

Don't touch anything.

These watches are very expensive.

Ms Yuan, it is not my fault.

How would I know it is so heavy?

How heavy could it be?

It really is quite heavy.

Buddy,

have you seen the people in this photograph before?

My father.

Other than him?

Have you seen the person beside him before?

I already answered you just now.

I could only recognise my father.

Ms Yuan,

your watch is repaired.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

If it is yours, take it.

Of course it is mine.

Didn't you give this watch to me?

Pay him the money.

Who says I'm not paying money?

I'm so generous. Besides, I brought you here to get it repaired.

-So, of course I'm... -Hurry up.

Wu Liang,

when Mr Wu returns, please inform him

to come and look for us.

Bring me the knives.

Bai Kai.

Qin Er!

We discovered something.

It seems I guessed correctly.

Someone crushed his throat,

causing him to die of suffocation.

Such wounds are not visible on the surface,

but experienced doctors

are able to tell by touch.

Jack is a foreigner here in Changshan.

Who could have murdered him

and why?

He has an old acquaintance here in Changshan,

which is Mr Wu who will participate in this International Horology Competition.

They've known each other since the previous dynasty.

The two of us went to look for Mr Wu just now

but he was not around.

Bai Kai,

if we take this into consideration,

you owe me two favours.

You are welcome.

This is Mr Wu when he was young.

The person in the middle is Mr Wu's master.

And the owner of the remaining

tombstone in that graveyard.

His name is Qiu Jing Xuan.

During the previous dynasty,

he entered the International Horology Competition.

Because he lost to him,

his entire family was killed.

Qin Er,

just now, you said

this Jack

suffocated to death because his throat was crushed?

His trachea, to be exact.

How strong that person must be.

Not a single trace was left

and his throat was crushed.

Be careful.

Only watchmakers would have

such a formidable grip.

Changshan Police Station

Wu Liang.

Ms Yuan,

these people are...

My name is Bai Kai.

I'm here to ask you

about Jack.

Jack?

What Jack?

I know no such person.

This clock is quite interesting.

Where did you buy it from?

Master built it himself.

What's wrong?

This person is definitely problematic.

Jiang,

we will leave the rest to you.

Master.

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master,

I dug up all the surrounding graves

yet it is nowhere to be found.

Where did you hide it? Where?

You wretched person,

not even sparing someone who is dead.

How cold-blooded. The heavens will not tolerate it!

I don't care about the heavens.

If I don't get the item, I won't spare even the dead,

let alone you

and your faithful disciple.

Whoever gets in my way will pay the price.

You...

You...

You...

At that time,

it was this Brit

who tampered with the Clock of Eternity

and caused my master's death.

I see.

So, he is the real culprit.

Liang, this place is well hidden.

Remember,

let's gather here if there's any danger.

Enter the competition in my stead.

With the Clock of Eternity,

you will definitely win.

That is my life-long wish.

I'll wait for you here if anything happens.

When it is done,

the two of us will leave this place for good.

What exactly did you all do to me?

Bai Kai,

we found the clues.

Mr Wu is the one who murdered Jack.

He is in a cave

which is not far from that grave of mine.

Come with me.

Mr Wu.

Finding you wasn't easy.

Mr Wu.

You are finally here.

I knew this day would come.

Jack was murdered by you, wasn't he?

Yes.

Why?

My master was killed because of him.

His entire family was killed.

Take him away.

Stand up.

Open the door.

Mr Wu.

Master,

I'm sorry.

Thank you, Sergeant Bai.

It is not my merit alone.

They also contributed.

Thank you.

Mr Wu,

I have a question

for you.

Go ahead.

This Jack,

what is he after?

At that time, my master

met an erudite person called Liu Zhi

who built the

Clock of Eternity for him.

It was my master's legacy.

That is what Jack is after.

So, have you

heard your master mention

his appearance before?

My master once said

this person had six fingers.

I have not met him before.

County Archives

Liu Zhi built a clock for Qiu Jing Xuan,

which means

Liu Zhi and Qiu Jing Xuan

should be from the same dynasty.

If he is still alive,

he should be quite old.

Qiu Jing Xuan was the best watchmaker of the previous dynasty

yet he needed Liu Zhi's help.

Could it be that this clock is unusual?

If that British man dug the grave

in order to find that clock,

that clock must be extraordinary.

But Jack is dead

and we've captured the murderer.

So, this Liu Zhi,

what exactly is he up to?

Jiang Shuo,

I knew you would be here.

Ms Yuan,

why are you here?

I'm here to talk to you about Mr Wu.

Although Mr Wu admitted to the murder,

I have the feeling that he is not a bad person.

There must be something more to this.

Ms Yuan,

your father is so powerful.

No one is able to stop him if he really wishes to have someone killed.

It is not as if my father wishes to.

The British High Commission is giving him a lot of pressure.

There is nothing my father can do.

After all, the person he killed is a Westerner.

A Westerner?

Say,

the Westerner,

Mr Wu,

Qiu Jing Xuan,

Liu Zhi.

All of them revolved around the clock.

Could it be that Liu Zhi

wants to show us the way to that clock?

Ms Yuan,

why don't we go take a look at the International Horology Competition?

Let's go.

For this competition, we went through

-a sufficient amount of preparation. -Report.

Hopefully...

General, Mr Ambassador,

all the contestants have arrived.

Shall we start now?

All right.

After you.

As you can see,

this one is a very unique one at the time it was made.

It comes from my great-grandfather,

and it's about 100 years old.

If you are going to watch, do so openly at the spectators' stand.

Don't always be so stealthy.

This is called "standing tall and seeing far".

Besides, with my looks, if I were to enter,

the spectators would stare at me

instead of the clocks and watches.

You are so thick-skinned.

Yi Heng!

So, it's a very seldom

and precious clock at that time.

So,

that's all about this clock.

Hope you all like it.

Thank you.

Next, let's welcome Changshan's representative,

Mr Wu Liang

and his Clock of Eternity.

Once you see through humans' thinking,

you shall attain eternity.

Father,

as your son, today,

I'll fulfill your wish in your place.

Jiang Shuo,

do you remember me?

It is you again.

Who exactly are you?

It does not matter.

What matters is

who you are.

All right.

In that case, tell me

who exactly am I?

Say it!

Masked man!

Masked man,

come out!

No,

why am I back at the graveyard again?

Could I have been hypnotised?

If you don't have the dragon incense at hand,

you can get out by pressing the acupuncture points.

Son,

I've thought it over.

You can't give up your ambition

because of a family matter.

I'll take care of business matters.

As long as you are willing,

you can come back any time,

and you will be given half of

our family's fortune.

Father,

where are you going?

A friend invited me to a dinner.

Dinner?

Father,

you aren't allowed to go to that dinner.

I don't want you to go to that dinner.

You can't go, Father.

You will be killed if you go there, Father.

Father.

Father!

Father!

Father!

Qin Yi Heng,

do you plead guilty?

Who are you people?

You put your own father

in grave danger.

No one knows if he's alive or dead.

What you did is unforgivable.

Let me through.

Let me through.

I need to look for my father.

I need to look for my father.

Qin Er!

Qin Er!

Qin Er!

Qin Er, wake up now!

Qin Er, wake up!

Qin Er, wake up!

What happened?

I have no idea either.

Just like you, I had a hallucination just now.

Mu Qing, are you all right?

This Clock of Eternity

must have some sort of mystery behind it.

So, just now, he used this clock

to hypnotise all of us?

All of you had hallucinations?

Just now,

I saw my brother.

When I was about to talk to him,

you strangled me awake.

Which one is the best?

This one is perfect.

-This one? -I think so.

Yeah. Great.

The judging panel's decision is unanimous.

I hereby announce

the winner of this year's International Horology Competition,

Mr Wu Liang and his Clock of Eternity!

Here, congratulations.

This situation is unheard of.

It happened faster

than we could ever imagine.

If he can hypnotise

all of us so easily,

the Pysch we saw at his house last time

may not be real.

When Yi Heng

was strangling me just now,

my throat was not crushed

even though he used so much force.

However, Mr Wu is so old.

How could he have strangled someone to death?

I know.

He must have acted ahead of me.

So, everything we saw

was an illusion.

It is all my fault.

Why didn't I confirm it with Mr Wu?

It is not too late

to confirm it now.

Then I'll watch over Wu Liang in case he runs away.

No.

You can't go on your own.

I'm not afraid.

If I'm in danger,

you will save me, right?

I...

Mu Qing!

Stop. What business do you have here?

I'm here to deliver a gift to Ambassador Robin.

Stop. What business do you have here?

I'm the police.

I need to go inside.

Sorry, this is the British High Commission.

Even the police can't enter.

But why is he...

Ms Yuan!

Ms Yuan!

Ms Yuan, do you need a ride?

Xiao Quan, do me a favour.

What is it?

Sure.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ms Yuan. I'll get going.

My dear friends, cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Mister, who you are looking for?

Ambassador Robin,

it is said that Jack is your uncle.

Are you aware that

he had dug up graves here in Changshan?

It is just digging a few graves.

So what?

Mr Wu, remember this coin?

Look

how similar their Psychs are.

Except the clockwork in my master's Psych

is stationary.

This means Mr Wu is resisting us.

We need to think of a way

to call out Mr Wu's memories

and compare them with Wu Liang's.

That is simple.

Do you still remember

the three time points

in Wu Liang's memory?

Let's adjust the clockwork

to those three time points.

Jiang,

what are you doing?

Adjusting the time, of course.

One rotation of the minute hand

is one step on the hour hand.

Which one of us do you think will be faster?

You. You are the fastest, happy?

Hurry.

Come on.

Why isn't it working?

The minute hand is not moving.

You are not persistent enough.

Master.

Master!

Master!

I'm sorry, I've let you down.

I'm sorry, Master.

You lied to me! You liar!

There is nothing here.

The Clock of Eternity is not even here!

I said my master buried the Clock of Eternity

so you would give up.

Who knew you would

actually unearth his grave.

I'm going to kill you!

I...

Wu Liang hasn't found out his father died

because of you, has he?

If you hand the Clock of Eternity to me,

no one else will know this secret.

Or else,

I'll destroy you people completely at all costs!

Don't think you can stop me

from obtaining the Clock of Eternity!

Master,

I'm sorry,

Master!

Master!

Liang.

Liang!

You must not kill!

You must not kill!

Liang, you...

You...

This Westerner has told me the truth.

At that time, you were bribed by the Westerners

to tamper with Clock of Eternity.

As a result, my father lost the competition

and the entire Qiu family was killed.

Qiu family?

It seems Wu Liang

is not Mr Wu's son.

He should be Qiu Jing Xuan's son.

His name should be Qiu Liang.

This matter

has been kept as a secret in my heart for 20 years.

I've done the Qiu family wrong,

as well as your father

and you.

I'll bear the charges

of murdering Jack

and repay the harm I did to the Qiu family.

Go participate in the International Horology Competition

and fulfill your father's dying wish.

If you come across someone called Jiang Shuo,

use Clock of Eternity to deal with him.

Once you win the competition,

flee from Changshan immediately.

I won't let anyone who

harmed the Qiu family off easily.

Let's go.

Solving the case is more important.

Mr Wu,

there is something which I don't understand.

Can you answer it for me?

Go ahead.

Qiu Jing Xuan was your master,

but why did you help Jack

to tamper with the Clock of Eternity?

Since you all already found out,

I don't have to hide it any further.

At that time, my master said

he was instructed by an erudite person

to build the Clock of Eternity.

It was a feat

no single man could achieve.

I thought my master was biased

since he was unwilling to teach me,

so I harboured resentment.

Moreover, in the same year,

my son fell seriously ill.

Jack promised me to get Western medicine from England

to cure my son's sickness.

So, I decided on the spur of the moment

to tamper with the Clock of Eternity.

As a result, it cannot be restored ever since.

Right before the International Horology Competition was held,

the Clock of Eternity was suddenly working again.

I have no idea as to who restored it for me.

I only remember going home that day

and seeing a six-fingered mark on the Clock of Eternity.

And later,

I received a notification that there will be

an International Horology Competition in Changshan.

So, Mr Wu, I guess...

Jiang Shuo, Ms Yuan asked me to tell you that

Wu Liang went to the British embassy.

I won't let anyone who harms

the Qiu family off easily.

This is bad.

Wu Liang is going to avenge his father.

-We must stop him from killing. -Killing who?

The ambassador, Robin.

He is Jack's nephew.
