MY ROOMMATE IS A DETECTIVE

♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔ Episode 23

Thank you, Inspector Qiao.

Thank you, Inspector Qiao.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You arrested him without any evidence.

Now you can't get anything out of his mouth.

Isn't that embarrassing?

It's just a formality.

And I already sent two patrolmen to follow him.

One of them can read lips.

Read lips?

You idiot!

How can you get caught by the Police Station?

I...

Who said you can speak?

The man said no.

The woman said

“How dare you talk back?”

Rumors said that

Liu Xiangui had a mistress outside.

That's very normal.

All the tycoons have a wife and many mistresses.

He was famous for being henpecked before.

He became who he was today

thanks to your auntie's dowry

and her support behind his back.

Liu Xiangui had been fighting against Mr. Bai for years

while neither could get the upper hand.

But Liu Xiangui was too stupid to do that.

Mr. Bai analyzed the situation and

said there was definitely an adviser behind him.

It's just this person never came to the stage in so many years.

After this time, I think

your auntie was his adviser.

You mean

Liu Xiangui was just a puppet?

After he became a tycoon, he started cheating on her,

but was caught.

So she started her revenge.

I heard that his mistress is a high-end escort girl.

Do you know who she is?

I met her once,

but never spoke with her.

You know her?

We had a meal together,

but nothing happened.

Are you sure?

We went to the movie once.

But we never even held hands.

Are you sure?

Shut your mouth.

Inspector.

This is the transcription of the conversation between Jin Menglan and Wu.

Well done!

They didn't say anything important.

They didn't even mention this case.

My auntie is too unconcerned.

Maybe she realized

someone was eavesdropping.

From the context,

nothing seemed wrong.

Just the ordinary relationship between a boss and the subordinate.

But don't forget

the two of them used to dance check to check.

She can't be so indifferent to him.

This conversation sounded deliberate.

Where are you going?

Visiting a relative.

Just look around.

Take whatever you like.

I have never given you any money at New Years

since you were born.

So let me make up for it this time.

My mind is blown away!

This is not a study.

This is a

small museum.

You silly boy.

Don't be like a bumpkin.

The walls of your home's study

are full of Wu Tao-tzu,

Huai Su, and Yan Zhenqing's

authentic works.

They are priceless.

Those are just papers in my eyes.

I won't want them even for free.

All the porcelains here

were from the official kilns and rewarded by the palace.

Take it if you like it.

I'll have another look.

What is this?

Diamond?

No. It's a sapphire.

How much does it cost for such a big one?

It's not expensive.

But

I can't give you this.

Sapphire

is actually worthless.

Diamonds are more suitable for you.

I'll find you a big diamond.

You don't have to.

Money

is not a problem.

But you have to promise me

that you won't give it to Miss Bai.

That'll be a disgrace.

Fifteen years ago Liu Xiangui spent all his savings

to buy this sapphire

from an Austrian.

How much is it?

Three thousand silver dollars?

Put another two zeros at the end.

You're just bluffing me.

There is no such an expensive gem.

It was part of the dowry

from King Philip IV of Spain

to his daughter at the seventeenth century.

Liu Xiangui polished it into a heart shape

and then made it into two pendants of necklace.

He gave one to Jin Menglan

and kept the other himself.

This buddy spared no effort in pursuing women.

I just checked it out.

Liu Xiangui redeemed his mistress Yanling's

freedom from the brothel three years ago.

Most importantly,

this Yanling had a criminal record of arson.

And you went out with this kind of woman?

Oh, you fatuous soul.

Shut your mouth.

Seven years ago

a customer insulted her.

It was said that Yanling retaliated him by

setting the man on fire.

He was burned seriously

and later died in the hospital

because of the injury.

Why did she get released so soon?

She was not there when the man caught fire.

And there was no direct evidence to prove that

she was the arsonist.

This is the photo of the victim.

Take a look.

Similar to Liu Xiangui's death, right?

Does this mean

we can go to the brothel again?

Go without me.

I don't want to see any women now.

Full of bullshit.

You let me go there alone?

Are you sure?

You just don't want to pay the bill yourself.

Sorry.

I don't know anything.

Come on!

Why did you know everything

when it was Inspector Qiao asking?

Can you be the same as him?

Then I will introduce customers to you.

Then you tell me the whereabouts of Yanling.

Do you think I told Inspector Qiao the truth

just because he introduced me customers?

What else can it be?

Don't you think

he is a man among men?

Have you seen his pectoral muscles, abs

and hairy legs?

Because I have.

I also have hairy legs.

Every time he comes here,

I feel very warm and safe.

I want to talk to him more.

No matter what he wants to know,

I will tell him.

If you help me, I will help you too.

I will ask him to come to see you more often.

When I went to hair salon last month,

I met Yanling once.

She told me she had been

learning how to dance with a French dancer.

She also suggested me going together.

Where is the studio?

French Concession.

Huarong Road, but what's the number again?

Say,

is it possible Inspector Qiao

will come over this weekend?

Sure, he must!

I'll tie him up and send him here if I have to!

No. 23, Huarong Road.

[For Ladies Only]

It's time to show my dance skills!

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Very good.

Stop.

Let's take a break for five minutes.

Hi there!

How did you do that waist twisting?

That looked so sexy.

It seemed you don't have any bones on your waist.

Could you teach me?

You are new here, right?

Let me tell you.

The key of this dance

is never feeling embarrassed.

You have to twist as much as you can.

There are all women in the classroom.

You don't need to feel embarrassed.

Which part do you not understand?

The movement here.

Come on. Hands on my waist at this part.

Let me teach you.

Left.

Right.

Left.

Right.

Right.

Feel that?

That's how you should twist your waist.

Which one is Yanling?

Where did she go?

The one with that mink coat.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

Liu Xiangui's sapphire necklace

is just around her neck.

What about me?

I hate you two!

I didn't call any maintenance service.

Excuse me.

It's a routine check on the windows.

It'll just take five minutes.

Come in.

What are you looking at?

The window on this side is OK.

I'll take another look at that side.

You are not staff of this hotel.

I'm.

I am

from the hotel logistics service department.

So you are not familiar with my face.

Then I won't disturb you any further.

Bye.

Don't move.

I will shoot if you move again.

You don't have to be so dramatic.

Say it.

Who sent you?

It's...

Help!

OK.

What happened?

This is home invasion! I want to call the police.

Lady.

You are the one who tried to shoot me.

Stop, stop.

What's going on?

There are men's suits in the closet.

There are unfinished cigars on the windowsill.

Unless she has other men,

or she and Liu Xiangui are still together.

It turns out that you work for Jin Menglan.

You know her?

No.

But a month ago,

Xiangui said

she already knew about us.

He asked me to be careful that

she will definitely come to revenge me.

So he gave you this gun to defend yourself.

Go back and tell Jin Menglan.

Xiangui stopped loving her a long time ago.

If she doesn't come bother me,

I won't fight with her over the title of his legal wife.

She can still be Mrs. Liu.

All I want is to be with Xiangui.

Don't tell me you don't know yet.

Know what?

Liu Xiangui is dead.

That's impossible!

We were together the day before yesterday.

If you don't believe me,

go back to the police station with me to see the body.

Qiao Chusheng!

Did you kill Xiangui?

Tell me, did you kill Xiangui?

How can you be so cruel?

He is an inspector of the police station now.

I don't believe it.

Him? Inspector?

Go read the newspapers

if you don't believe me.

You will believe it after you read the newspapers.

Let me introduce him to you.

Mr. Lu,

Shanghai's famous detective.

He solved the previous famous murders.

You can't be Lu Yao.

Why?

You're neither old nor frivolous.

You're nothing like what Xinyue Daily described.

Bai Youning, that monster!

If we were working for Jin Menglan,

we wouldn't have explained so much to you.

What do you want to know?

What accessories did he wear?

Jewelry, pendant. the more detailed, the better.

Let me see.

He usually wore a broad ring.

And he would put a sachet in his shirt pocket.

What kind of sachet?

Xiangui didn't like the smell of perfume.

He said it was too strong.

Six months ago,

I met a lady older than me in the dance class.

Her husband doesn't like

the smell of perfume either.

So she gave me these sachets.

What's that lady's name?

We just had a quick chat after the class.

How do I know what her name is?

What does she look like?

Tall,

pale skin,

and big eyes.

That's all.

You just described all the beautiful women.

What's special about her?

Did she give these sachets

only to you?

Now that you asked,

I never saw her

talk to others

in the dance class.

Do you wear this necklace every time when you go to the dance class?

Of course.

This is a token of love Xiangui gave me.

When did he give it to you?

A year ago.

This smells fruity.

That's right.

What is right?

Tell me all the projects Liu Xiangui

invested when he was alive.

Casino, port, restaurant, cotton mill.

Last year he seized control of

a chemical plant from Mr. Bai.

Chemical plant?

What does it produce?

I don't know exactly what it produces.

I have to ask Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai.

What does the chemical plant you invested before produce?

OK, got it.

Come with me to see a relative tonight at 7 o'clock.

At that time

it was also in a Western food restaurant like this one.

The band was playing exactly this song

when Xiangui suddenly proposed to me on his knee.

Do you still miss him?

We got married for over twenty years.

It's not so easy to let go.

Since then,

why did you kill him?

Do you know what you're talking about?

I do not like this more than you do.

But I have OCD.

I can't let a liar get away without exposing her.

Otherwise I will lose sleep.

I won't be able to sleep

and I will get alopecia.

What did I lie about?

You said that Mr. Liu was busy

so he only came home on the weekends.

But in fact

he hadn't been home for a long time.

Right?

Who would want to tell others her family scandal?

I am a woman.

I felt ashamed that

my husband didn't come home.

But you can't identify me as the murderer

just because I lied.

This is just far-fetched.

You did this, right?

What if

I did,

and what if I didn't?

I had been curious

with your disposition and pride,

why would you

hang out with a lowlife like Wu?

And you even went dancing with him in public.

Were you not afraid people might gossip?

I just wanted people to gossip!

He cheated on me, so could I.

Since he dared to break my heart,

then he would be humiliated.

But you didn't expect

your husband couldn't care less.

Because his heart

wasn't in you for a long time.

Maomao.

No, Inspector Lu.

There are many women

who hate their husbands in Shanghai.

But not all of them are murderers.

Liu Xiangui and his mistress thought

you only discover

their affair a month ago.

But they didn't expect

as early as six months ago,

you encountered Yanling wearing that sapphire necklace

in the dance class.

Do you want witnesses?

Because I've got plenty.

No.

Yes.

It was me who made this.

And I have a motive to kill.

So?

How did I kill him?

The secret is in this sachet.

Lemon contains acid.

When acid meets active metals,

it will produce current.

You know he went to dance every week

and he always put a sachet

in his breast pocket.

Constant rubbing

and squeezing during the dance movements

will cause a short circuit.

When the current meets the wire on the lemon slice, it will ignite.

I checked.

The fruit farmer received an order to deliver fresh fruits to Liu Mansion

six months ago.

This mechanism might look simple,

but it takes a lot of experiments

to successfully ignite the fire.

Did you make a lot

of sachets like this?

You can get a shirt to do an experiment.

The result will tell you

that kind of spark won't burn people to death.

That day, Mr. Liu was having lunch in the restaurant.

What the hell?

Wu the manager spilled red wine on his chest on purpose.

Then he persuaded him to change into a suit and a shirt

with alcohol-based fuel on them.

It's colorless, tasteless,

and can support combustion.

Also it's fully burned

so it will leave no trace behind after the fire.

I don't understand.

I sent a patrol to the chemical plant and asked around.

You went there to inspect three times in a row three months ago,

and you took some samples of the fuel with you.

You said just now

alcohol-based fuel can be fully burned

leaving no trace behind.

So you can't prove

it was on his shirt and suit.

The evidence still lies in this sachet.

When you did the experiments,

inevitably the sachet would get some fuel on it.

Give this to the forensic to do a test

and we'll know.

The dancer next to him said

the fire produced smoke

that made her tear up.

When I heard that, I suspected

there must be some combustion aid on his clothes.

What gave me away?

Remember the first time we met?

You burned musk in the middle of the night.

It's very clear that you were trying to stay awake.

If you just wanted to refresh your mind,

you could have just burned it in the study.

But you burnt it in the living room.

You knew beforehand that the police was going to question you that night.

You get your smart brain

from your mother.

In fact,

It's easy for you to hire a hitman to kill him.

Why did you have to do it yourself?

Don't you think

it felt good to

let his dirty heart burn to ashes in public?

Was it worth it to commit murder

for such a scumbag?

When I married him,

it was because he was honest and upright.

But when the situations change,

human's heart will also change.

I thought he would not.

You...

What can you do even you find out about her?

The Qing Dynasty is long gone!

Do you still think you're a prince's daughter?

Who has always been by your side to support you, made you who you are?

The only reason

you are still my wife today is

because I didn't forget that.

Liu Xiangui!

Good for you.

You have become so bold

in just a few years.

Thank you for your help. Princess.

Come back!

This bastard

should have died long time ago.

It's just a pity I got my hands dirty for him.

We owe you a big favor for

killing Liu Xiangui.

Can I exchange favor

for exoneration?

I have only one request.

Sure.

Don't disclose my identity.

I don't think we can do that.

Everyone in Shanghai knows

you are Mrs. Liu.

I am talking about my family background.

I don't want to humiliate my people.

The Qing Dynasty died.

The pride is

all we have left.

Alright.

I promise you.

The case is closed so soon?

Wait.

I have something to say to Miss Bai.

Sure!

Go ahead.

Miss Bai.

You came from a humble parentage

with vulgar temperament.

You don't deserve Maomao.

So please stay away from his life.

I don't deserve you?

No, you totally deserve me.

I don't deserve you how?

I am not the one who said that!

You are gluttonous and lazy,

• reach for what is beyond your grasp, and prefer leisure over work.

You should take my kindness

that you are still alive.

How can you say I don't deserve you?

You must give me an explanation!

I,

Bai Youning,

which part of me that's not good enough for you?

Because

because

you are lunatic!

You...

Silly Lu, freeze!

We have been fighting against each other for years

without no one gaining the upper hand.

She is an excellent woman.

Chusheng.

Try to take care of her as much as possible

before the execution.

Understood.

Since Liu Xiangui died,

the spheres of influence of the entire concession will change again.

Troubled times give birth to heroes.

Inform Youning.

Ask her to watch out for herself recently.

I don't worry about her.

Lu Yao is in danger though.

After Jiang Zhiqing left

I sent someone to Haining

to monitor Lu Yao's family house.

Some days ago

his sister went home suddenly.

What does his sister do?

She was a private secretary of a powerful government official.

She is well-connected in political cycle.

I think she suddenly went back home

this time because of Lu Yao.

Let them both leave Shanghai

to lie low if they have to.

They can't hide for their lifetime.

We both have experiences in things in the underworld.

But this kind of thing is the first time

in my life.

You can't escape, you can't fight,

you can't admit defeat, either.

Such a pain in the ass.

Why?

You want to become a dancing girl?

The escort girl Qingdai said

Qiao is a man among men.

What do you think?

It depends on who you compare him with.

If you compare him with you,

then yes, he is so manly.

He just has better martial arts skills.

There are so many people good at martial arts.

Chusheng got to where he is today

relying on not just his fists.

What else?

His brain?

Once upon a time,

one of his friends was drugged unconscious with

knockout drops and

kidnapped to the wharf...

Gentle!

If you hurt Young Master Lu,

I'll kill you!

Why hasn't the boat arrived yet?

Soon.

Inspector Qiao, how can I help you?

Lu Yao is my friend.

Consider it a favor and let him go.

I am bringing him home at the order of his father.

If he is awake,

I will never ask him to stay if he chooses to leave.

But when he is like that,

I can't let him go with you

Even if you take him with you today,

sooner or later I will go get him again.

I didn't bring a lot of people today,

Next time when you see me,

I will bring an army.

All the people you have

will collapse at the first blow.

How about this?

Go back and tell his dad that

Lu Yao has a great time here.

If he misses him,

he's welcomed to visit him anytime.

But if he wants to force him to do anything,

he's welcomed to have a fight with me.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Are you alright?

Bear with me for a while.

So that was not a dream I had?

Dream?

He was wounded by knives several times for you.

He didn't let me tell you.

Treat him better in the future.

Don't just think about all the ways to get money from him.

Can you do it or not?

At least I am better than you.

Go away!

Don't bother me.

Hurry up.

Romanée-Conti?

Inspector Qiao is generous!

That guy finally treats us to dinner.

I can't be too shabby.

Come on!

All the dishes are served.

Dig in.

Ummm,

I'd like to make a toast.

I have nothing much to say.

Two words.

Thank you.

For what?

Don't force me to praise you in front of you.

You must!

Hurry up.

I insist.

Thank us for what?

I want to thank

destiny for making me meet you guys.

Thank you for making me look so smart

that I became a success and sensation

in Shanghai so effortlessly.

Thanks again.

Cheers.

You are the only one who can and dare to talk to me like this.

If it were someone else...

I also want to thank you both

for not pushing me away.

I didn't actually have many friends

at school.

Because my dad...

It had nothing to do with your father.

You had no friends mainly because of you.

Who can bear your character?

What did you say?

Go to hell!

Go to hell!

Die!

Will it kill you to be nice to you occasionally?

So what your legs are long?

Show off!

Come here!

Come here!

I'll kick your ass!

I'll kick your ass

if you irritate me.

After Liu Xiangui's death,

we need to find someone as soon as possible

to take over his business.

Now it is a vacuum period.

I don't want anyone else to take it.

Mr. Bai has already started taking actions.

Buying his factories and store fronts

at the lowest cost.

Him again!

How many times do I have to tell you that

Lu Yao will be leaving Shanghai?

Jiang Zhiqing's move failed.

Soon they'll send somebody else.

I'm losing my patience.

Look, just give me more time.

Within a month

I'll

drive Lu Yao out of Shanghai.

We have to rehearse so late every night.

My spine is about to break.

The performance is the day after tomorrow.

If you don't take every minute to rehearse,

you will be the one looking bad on stage.

Aye, aye, captain!

Change your clothes and go back to dorm.

Lights will be out soon.

Sun Meng.

Sun Meng...

Did you hear it?

Yes,

I heard it.

It's that song.

Is it...

Fu Mingyue?

Don't jinx it!

Fu Mingyue was playing this song

when she died.

Is her ghost coming?

What are you talking about?

This song is ghastly.

Since Fu Mingyue died,

no one dares to play this song again.

It's really scary in the middle of the night.

Let's go.

Go take a look.

I guess someone is practicing piano.

Or this is just a prank.

What?

You are scared?

There are so many of us!

We have strong breath of the living.

We don't need to be afraid of ghosts.

Let's go.

I'm begging you.

Please.

Please don't do this!

Please don't kill me!

Please!

I'm begging you!

I can explain.

This is so scary!

Is there something really wrong?

Maybe we should go back to the dorm

and come again tomorrow.

Someone is there!

That's Miss Fang.

How...

How about we go and take a look?

See how Miss Fang is.

Miss Fang!

Miss Fang!

It's okay, she just fainted.

Fu Mingyue, she's back!

She's coming to take revenge!

Revenge!

Who is it?

Why are you here?

There is a murder.

Where is it?

St. Mary's Hall.

Where?

Can you say that again?

Your alma mater.

Wake him up.

Let's get to work.

Wake up!

Hurry!

What's the matter with you?

Come on!

What do we know so far?

Victim named Qin Shutong,

male,

twenty-five years old.

He was the piano teacher here.

Do you know this piano teacher?

Never seen him before.

I think he was transferred from another school.

Time of the murder?

A quarter past eleven at night.

Why is it so precise?

Some students heard a gunshot.

Girls?

Duh!

Can there be boys in a girls' school?

Are these your schoolmates?

Yes.

We are all from the school dance team.

Yesterday we rehearsed late in the teaching building.

As soon as we heard the gunshot

we came to the scene right away.

But you didn't see the murderer.

So

you were the first to see the victim?

No.

The first one to see him should be Miss Fang Yu.

Where is her now?

Where is the first witness?

The witness was strongly stimulated by the murder

and she's currently resting in the school infirmary.

Miss Fang Yu was Mr. Qin's fiancée.

When we arrived yesterday,

she just arrived at the entrance of the auditorium.

She fainted after a glance of inside.

That means

Miss Fang

did not enter the crime scene.

According to what we have known,

the crime scene is well preserved.

Miss Fang should not have entered the auditorium.

Should not!

Either way,

the girls from the dance team

found the school security immediately last night

to seal the scene.

Inspector Qiao.

Hello.

I'm the Chinese principal of

St. Mary's Hall.

My surname is Guo.

Mr. Guo.

This lady is?

My surname is Bai.

A reporter of Xinyue Daily.

Why do you look a little bit familiar?

I don't think so.

I just have an average face.

You are...

Not me.

Bai Youning!

Mr. Guo,

Long time no see.

You..

What are you doing here?

I'm here to interview.

Mr. Guo.

Don't call him that.

He is the principal now.

He was my teacher when I was studying here.

How was Miss Bai like

when she was a student here?

She was...

Good,

very good.

The years she was here

are really a memorable period for us.
