MY ROOMMATE IS A DETECTIVE

♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔ Episode 24

Principal Guo.

Could you tell me something about your school?

St. Mary's Hall

was invested and established by the British with the main purpose of

providing education for

children of diplomats.

So our full name is

British St. Mary's Hall.

Of course, most of the students

are still locals in Shanghai.

So most students are

from wealth and upper class families.

You said you are the Chinese principal.

What about the foreign principal?

The official principal is surnamed Williams.

He's an Englishman.

He's also an alumnus of Cambridge like you.

He is busy and not often in Shanghai.

If you want to ask or check anything,

or have any needs, I am your man.

Ok.

But of course,

I can't be the one responsible for major decisions.

Don't write that down.

Mr. Lu, I'll show you to the backstage.

Youning, what memorable time was he talking about?

Don't ask, and I don't want to say anything.

The graduation party will be held the day after tomorrow.

These are used for their performances.

I heard there was a case here last year.

Well...

But I can't find any case record

in the police station.

That's because we didn't report it to the police.

We solved it in private.

Because it's not a murder case.

It was just a schoolgirl who committed suicide.

Mr. Lu, as you know,

everything gets more sensitive

as long as it involves the field of diplomacy.

We hoped we could try to keep it low profile

and go away quietly.

Principal Guo.

Please tell me carefully

about this case again.

Don't miss

any detail.

Did you have any new discoveries in the backstage?

Is the gun sent back to the station?

Yes. We found a few fingerprints on the gun.

I have asked them to do a fingerprint comparison.

Comparison? With whom?

This is a foreign-funded school.

British shareholders required to

establish a detailed profile

of the faculty and students,

even including fingerprints and blood type.

They are so serious.

That is to say

if the murderer is someone in this school,

this case will be solved in no time.

Can you respect the murderer?

The murderer has a brain, too.

They knew that their fingerprints are in the file

but they still left the weapon with fingerprints at the scene

after they killed someone?

This is too easy for us.

So you mean

the fingerprints on the pistol is not the murderer's,

but the victim's.

The murderer wanted to frame him

with such a flawed scheme?

Do you think the killer is as simple-minded as you?

Ow, ow!

Then give me a flawless scheme!

Say it!

Inspector Lu is tall and handsome.

I heard he graduated from Cambridge.

Do you have the nerve to ask him for phone number?

I will only if you will.

Inspector, the fingerprint comparison result is out.

Who is it?

A deceased student.

Fu Mingyue.

Isn't she dead?

Look at what you have done!

But I got the result at the fastest speed...

I asked you to hurry, but I didn't ask you to be perfunctory.

Do it again.

But sir,

we did the fingerprint comparison

following the relevant rules.

This result is unanimously signed off by

two inspectors.

On the weapon

a total of four complete fingerprints were extracted.

They belong to the same person.

A student named Fu Mingyue.

Which one of you knew Fu Mingyue?

Who was her closest friend?

It's you again. What's your name?

Miao Xizi.

Fu Mingyue and I were classmates.

We were close.

She died by that piano.

How did she die?

The school said it was suicide.

What do you think?

We think that...

You should investigate this case thoroughly.

We are going to visit Miss Fang at the infirmary.

Excuse us.

What did they say to you?

They said

you are not as pretty as me.

Is there a file in the police station

about Fu Mingyue's suicide case?

I checked it. There should be none.

"Should be" again.

There is no file.

It means it was treated as a suicide and settled in private.

Why didn't you ask me

about this kind of thing?

The schoolgirl named Fu Mingyue

killed herself last September.

The last thing she did

was playing "To Alice"

with this piano.

After the last note

stopped,

suddenly there was a gunshot.

This incident became a ghost story for the girls.

How did you know that?

One of my classmates stayed at school to be a teacher after she graduated.

By the way, there are rumors that

Fu Mingyue committed suicide

because of that music teacher Qin Shutong.

"To Alice"

was the first song Qin Shu ever taught her.

A romantic relationship between teacher and student.

Is this allowed?

No. But there was no evidence.

Qin Shutong insisted that he was innocent.

The school did not find any evidence after investigating for a long time.

But they planned to fire him

after he finished this session.

Where is the infirmary?

Over here...

Or over there?

Where is it exactly?

I had never been there! I was too healthy!

Miss Fang!

Don't you have a class to go to?

We want to see how Miss Fang is.

Tell us what you experienced last night.

The more detailed, the better.

Last night me and the girls rehearsed until very late.

We called it a day at about eleven o'clock.

Then they went to the shower.

Where is the shower room?

On the same floor of the rehearsal room, very close to it.

After the rehearsal every night,

I would stay and clean the room.

Why?

I have mysophobia.

Then

after they left for about a dozen minutes,

I heard someone playing the piano.

What about you?

Did you hear it?

We heard it.

We were still in the shower.

After hearing the piano,

Xizi insisted that we went there.

I was so nervous and so scared at that time.

Detective Lu, can I have your phone number?

This can wait!

Miss Fang, your turn.

I didn't feel right at that time.

And then

I heard a gunshot.

So when the incident happened,

you were in the rehearsal room alone.

And no one can prove it.

Hey! Miss Fang is the victim of this case!

How could you say that to her?

How dare you call yourself an inspector?

If you think Miss Fang did it,

you might as well take us all back to the police station.

Yes, arrest us!

Shut up!

I will really take you to police station if you don't stop crying.

I am telling you...

Handle it.

Don't cry. The bad guy is gone.

Let me buy you guys ice creams.

Detective Lu, if you guys have the time to question us,

you might want to check

why there are only Fu Mingyue's fingerprints on that gun.

I'm not feeling well.

I need to go back to the dormitory.

Miss Fang, sorry.

I didn't mention that name on purpose.

It's alright.

Do you think Fu Mingyue

and Mr. Qin were dating?

I am your alumna.

Bai Youning.

Don't run!

Why did they all run away?

I don't know.

What did you do

when you were here?

If I tell you,

I will have to kill you.

Bai Youning is here!

In Fang Yu's statement,

the time she was alone before and after the incident

was ten to fifteen minutes in total.

So she had the time to commit the murder.

I also get some new information

from a contact of mine in the government.

Three days ago Qin Shutong and Fang Yu

already got a marriage certificate.

Did they have a wedding?

It is said that the wedding was on the agenda.

But Fang Yu only admitted

she was his fiancée,

not wife.

It's quite understandable.

The two got married and the man suddenly died.

If the news went public,

the woman would become a widow.

If she kept it a secret,

it would still be treated as the first marriage next time she got married.

But they were officially married though.

That means she can inherit Qin Shutong's money.

Yes, after investigation,

the victim was from a very rich family.

You mean

she killed for the money.

After his parents died,

Qin inherited a large amount of heritage.

And Fang Yu, as the fiancée,

had long nursed a grudge

about the relationship between Fu Mingyue and the victim.

This is murder of passion plus murder for money.

This is her motive.

I agree.

Motive, yes, alibi, no.

What else do we need now?

Evidence.

OK, keep looking, guys.

We have the general direction of investigation.

But there are still many doubts that we haven't figured out.

Such as the weapon.

I think

the pistol

Fu Mingyue used to commit suicide

was somehow acquired by Fang Yu.

She should be wearing gloves when committing the crime.

Although the school kept her suicide

under a lid,

the more forbidden a secret is,

the easier it will be spread out.

Everyone knows this school ghost story.

So naturally they would see this murder

as the ghost of Fu Mingyue coming back for revenge.

Fang Yu wanted to use this urban legend to get away with murder.

Good!

Am I impressive?

Fang Yu is really suspicious.

Sir, when we were taking Fang Yu's statement

as you asked,

we found there was something odd with her necklace.

Bloodstain.

Immediately detain suspect Fang Yu!

Yes, sir.

Are you sure you didn't see Mr. Qin last night?

I'm sure!

Our school has very strict rules.

After nine o'clock at night,

anyone who enters a teaching building or dorm

needs to sign on the in-out register.

If we the doormen didn't ask them to sign, we will be fined.

So of course we will keep an eye on everyone in or out!

Look, this is yesterday's record.

See if there is Mr. Qin's name on it.

Just these dozen people?

Yes.

Normally after nine o'clock, all the students are back in their dorm.

A dozen people are already a lot.

They will graduate soon.

All the students are very busy.

Ok.

Thank you.

Mr. Qin?

I think he went back to his room after eight o'clock.

I didn't see him go out again.

So I was quite surprised when I heard

he died in the auditorium.

Is there only one exit for the teachers' dormitory?

Yes, just one.

Which room did Mr. Qin live in?

106.

First floor?

Yes.

Did he climb out from the window?

Why would he do that?

Let's go.

Youning.

For the pictures of crime scene you took,

did you happen to shoot the sole pattern of the victim?

Let me see.

As a matter of fact, I did.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

That one.

Shoe pattern can match.

So he should be climbing out from the window.

Didn't want to leave his name on the in-out register.

He must have a secret to hide.

What did this Mr. Qin want to do?

How do we investigate him?

I don't think we can get

any information from Fang Yu.

I think we still have to start with the students.

OK, leave it to me.

Are you sure?

I am a reporter,

and also an alumna of this school.

When they heard your name,

they ran for their lives.

A girls' school is a cruel jungle.

The only rule here

is only the fittest survive.

My name has become their nightmare,

which means

I

am the king of the jungle!

You just bought this record?

Pocket lifting from the school.

I'm trying to immerse in the atmosphere of the crime scene.

Then take a look at this first.

Read it for me.

"St. Mary's Hall

witnessed a murder case by a female ghost

of a former student late last night".

With her corny taste for headlines,

how can she claim that she is a reporter?

It wasn't Youning this time.

Mystery News Collection?

There are reports of

murders of a female ghost across tabloids these days.

It almost seems like someone is manipulating public opinion

to divert our attention from the real murderer.

Did you interrogate Fang Yu?

Yes.

Did she confess anything?

No.

You didn't torture her, right?

If she doesn't start talking,

I might really consider it.

It seems someone gets something.

Qin Shutong, 25 years old,

Shanghai native,

1.79m tall,

68kg,

a Sagittarius.

His father was an antique dealer and their family was rich.

Qin Shutong learned piano from an early age.

Mother died five years ago.

Father died three years ago.

After that Qin Shutong sold his father's antique shop

and entered the St. Mary's Hall

to become a piano teacher.

As one of the few young male teachers

in this girls' school,

there were many girls who had a crush on him.

So he often received gifts from the students

on Valentine's Day

or the Chinese version of Valentine's day

on the 7th of the 7th lunar month.

How did you find out these?

Yesterday I found Principal Guo,

and asked him to get me a school uniform.

You can't do that.

Don't make it hard for me!

Do you want to go home or not?

Don't do this.

You already graduated.

Why did you come back and give us a hard time?

When I was a student here, you allowed several British students

to bully my classmates.

Was I wrong to seek justice for my classmates?

You asked some gangsters

to kidnap those British kids and

throw them in the Suzhou River in the chilling winter.

This almost escalated into an international dispute.

I just let them take a bath. They would survive.

Even the principal

was removed from office because of what you did!

You wouldn't be promoted if he wasn't removed.

In the end, you need to thank me for that.

I beg you.

Just spare my life.

I have a family to support.

I can't afford to be fired.

OK, if you don't cooperate,

I can do this all day.

You are not going home today if you don't give me the school uniform.

President Guo is an honest man.

Don't bully him.

If I don't bully him, he will bully me.

The girls' school is a brutal jungle with its own law.

Carry on.

After getting the school uniform, I pretended to be a student who just transferred here and

I mingled into the film club.

I participated in their extracurricular club activity.

With a Lin Xirong's movie poster with his autograph,

I got everything I needed.

You don't look like a schoolgirl from your appearance and body.

No one asked how many years of school you repeated?

Shut up.

These are the data of Fu Mingyue's classmates.

Family background, academic records.

Basically everything.

They are all rich children.

Liu Tong's dad is the manager of Great World Amusement Center.

Miao Xizi's family owns a record company.

Lu Qian 's family has a shipping company.

Is there any information related to the case?

Of course.

There is a student

called Sun Meng.

She and Mr. Qin

were very close.

At the night of the incident,

after nine o'clock,

there is this Sun Meng's name

on the in-out register list of the teaching building.

I don't know what you are implying.

I am the representative of music class of my class.

Isn't it normal

that me and Mr. Qin were closer than others?

I'm not blaming you.

I just want to know

what really happened.

I already told you guys.

Inspector Qiao, I finally find you.

Principal Guo would like to see you.

I have a fiancé.

So please don't talk nonsense,

or I will file a complaint.

Sun Meng.

Auntie Zhang.

With what happened,

will the school still hold the party tomorrow like scheduled?

If there is no notice from the school,

yes, the party will be held.

That's great.

I expect your performance the most.

Do your best.

I like listening to your cello best.

Your aunties are all waiting to see your performance.

Keep practicing.

Auntie Zhang, I have something to do.

Excuse me.

Auntie Zhang.

Are you the house parent of the girls' dormitory?

You are the police?

Yes.

Can you tell me

where Sun Meng's dormitory is?

Over there at the second floor.

Can I take a look at this show list?

Sure.

Thank you.

I want to pass on

what Mr. Williams said.

Our school's graduation party

will be held tomorrow night.

So since

you guys have taken all the photos you need

and investigated everything,

I think maybe you can

lift the blockade on the auditorium?

It will destroy the evidences.

Then we won't be able to convict the murderer.

Just give us more time.

We have a lead already.

The party will be postponed for another two days.

But we can't postpone it.

I have already invited some

big names in the city.

The invitations have been sent out.

That's OK.

We can't lift the blockade without solving the case.

Inspector Qiao, help me out. Consider it a favor.

Hi, girls.

Detective Lu!

Can I have your attention?

Thank you.

Detective Lu.

Thanks, thanks.

Detective Lu, I like you!

You lost weight again.

Girls, come back.

Come back.

Can I have your attention?

Please line up in order to enter the backstage.

Take all your personal belongings

and performance props with you.

This is your paradise.

Whoever used it, please take them away with you.

When you were their age,

it must be hard for you to resist men like me.

But I have grown up.

Poor taste.

We bear no responsibility for any losses or damages if you don't take them.

Turn right and follow me.

Have you solved the case?

No.

Stop it.

I already know how that person did it.

But I still don't know who did it.

My gut feeling tells it

it's Sun Meng.

If you guess it right this time,

I will put your photo

on the wall of my bedroom and pray to it every day.

I already know how the murderer

killed Mr. Qin.

Really?

I checked the in-out register of the teaching building

at the night of the murder.

Mr. Qin was not on the list.

So why did he suddenly die

inside the teaching building in the middle of the night?

The answer is

he was put in this case

before he was taken here.

No, no.

This is not mine.

This is Sun Meng's.

The victim's collar has rosin on it.

But he didn't play cello.

So I knew

he was put in a cello case

and moved here.

I, I am not the murderer.

I didn't kill him!

I heard Ms. Zhang the house patent told you

she looked forward to your cello playing performance.

So I had a chat with her.

She said that night

she saw you dragging the cello case out of the dorm.

She asked you where you were going,

and you told her it was to prepare for the school graduation party.

But I took a look at the show list of the party

from Ms. Zhang.

I found there was no performance of you,

not even any

performance that would use cello.

I really didn't...

I didn't know that he would die.

She just told me

she wanted to teach Mr. Qin a lesson.

No. You wouldn't kill him.

Because you and him

were secretly dating.

Doesn't she have a fiancé?

Exactly.

Your relationship was discovered by someone.

You were afraid that the scandal will threaten your engagement.

So you had no choice but to be blackmailed.

Fortunately, what the blackmailer asked you to do was very simple.

Trick him into your dormitory, telling him it was a date.

Then you drugged him to let him unconscious and put him in the case and dragged him here.

But I really didn't expect he would die.

She just said

she wanted to teach him a lesson.

Through anatomy we found

in the victim's nose

there was an extremely small amount of ether,

which means he was drugged before he died.

The in-out list shows that

the time you left the building was half past ten

which is way before the time of the incident.

So you are not the murderer.

After you transported the cello case to the backstage, you left.

Then the murderer used that gun

Fu Mingyue used to kill herself

to kill him.

So the murderer is...

Fang Yu?

Of course not!

But the murderer wanted us to think

Fang Yu was the real murderer.

So she manipulated public opinion to create the female ghost revenge story.

Because she knew

when this thing became an urban legend,

we would feel

the murderer was trying to hide her identity,

and the police would thoroughly investigate the case even more.

Meanwhile

she was also subtly

giving us some clues implying

Fang Yu was the murderer.

Miss Fang, sorry.

I didn't mention that name on purpose.

The murderer

is you!

Do you have any evidence?

Fang Yu has mysophobia.

If she was the murderer,

she would definitely clean all the objects on her body

after she committed the crime.

It is unlikely that she

didn't even notice the bloodstain on the necklace.

And she was the first one who

witnessed the scene and then fainted at the entrance of the auditorium.

And according to the description of the dance team members,

you were the first rushing there to help her up.

This is nonsense!

If you mean I had the chance to frame Miss Fang,

then that would apply to every dance team members.

After the training,

I went into the show with them

and then we left the shower together.

Where did I have the time to kill him?

You did go in the shower with them.

But you waited for them to enter the compartment

and pull the shower curtain,

then you sneaked back again.

That's impossible.

When I heard the gunshot,

Xizi was with us.

The evidence is on you.

Take it out.

Will you take it out, or shall I?

In this record there is "To Alice",

and a shot.

There was a gramophone in the backstage.

The piano music and the gunshot you heard

were both from the gramophone.

When I checked the weapon,

I found on the pistol

there were traces that indicate it used to attach to a silencer.

So the real time of the murder was

before they heard the piano music.

You used a phonograph

to create a short time gap to commit the crime,

and then you ran back to the shower

and got yourself a perfect alibi.

You are very smart.

Everything else in the gramophone record

was normal light music.

Only a short period was modified by you.

No one can find out about it except you.

But I'm smarter than you.

I sensed something was wrong when I saw the gramophone.

So I took the record home and listened to it from the beginning to the end.

I finally found the evidence.

I understand.

You let them come into here to pack their belongings

just to see who would take the record.

No.

Actually, I started to suspect you long before that.

Why?

Your family owns a record company.

There are only three in Shanghai that can burn records.

But I was on a tight schedule, so I had no time to check that lead.

Fortunately

you gave yourself away.

By the way

you were the one who contributed to the tabloids about the ghost story, right?

The writing style has a strong tone of student,

for example, you uses too many exclamation marks.

Yes, it's me.

That's how the blackmailer threatened me!

She said she would put my story in the newspaper

to destroy my reputation.

I had no other choice but....

Xizi,

how can you?

Qin Shutong, this scumbag

didn't deserve to live in the world.

Mingyue was my best friend.

I watched her being seduced by Qin Shutong,

raped by him,

and finally killed herself.

I didn't expect that scumbag didn't stop.

He was still out there trying to allure more girls.

I secretly kept the gun Mingyue used to kill herself

just for this day.

I wanted that scumbag

to die exactly the same way

she killed herself.

But Miss Fang is innocent!

How can you frame her?

She is not as innocent as it seems.

She is also to blame

for Mingyue's death.

I will die for my best friend,

and I have no complaint

nor regret.

You are in such a good mood. You got a bonus?

No.

I went to the premiere of Lin Xirong's movie

with a few friends.

Where did you buy your friends, and how much?

Get out of here.

Just the girls from St. Mary's film club.

You guys still are in contact?

Yes, we have become sisters.

Didn't you talk about some cruel jungle?

We are all predators.

Only those who are against us

will feel the cruelty of this jungle!

Silly girl.

They told me another gossip.

Come closer.

Just say it.

They said after graduation,

one day they went back to school to get some dossiers.

It was already night when they came out of the teaching building.

Then faintly they heard...

What did they hear?

Just this music.

"To Alice".

Silly Lu.

Come in.

What?

I can't sleep. Chat with me.

Busy.

Hey,

let's go for a trip.

Travel for a few days,

what do you think?

Where do you want to go?

Anywhere

as long as there are pretty sceneries.

Go out and relax a bit.

Xinjiang,

Turkey,

Greece.

We don't have the money for it.

I have jewelries.

I can pawn some.

I can write travel notes

to earn some contribution fees.

Why did you suddenly want to go traveling?

I always feel at unease these days.

I am afraid something would happen.

You are afraid I might be kidnapped again.

If it weren't for Chusheng last time,

you might be doomed!

I would just be kidnapped to Guangzhou, I wouldn't die.

What should I do without you?

You don't know how to be a reporter without me?

No.

I can't afford the rent by myself.

Rest assured.

If I were taken away by them again,

I will definitely find a way to escape

so that I can come back to pay my half of the rent.

Think about where you want to go.

Let's go together.

I don't want to escape from them this time.

Otherwise I'll have to escape for my lifetime.

Don't worry.

As long as I don't want to leave,

no one can force me.

Unless I give you my permission,

otherwise

you can't terminate the tenancy in your lifetime.

Do you know that?

Deal.

Dad.

Drink this and go to bed early.

I can't sleep soundly at night.

I've been like this recently.

Insomnia and night sweat.

Because of Yao?

Who else can it be?

I specially sent Zhiqing to Shanghai

trying to take him to Guangzhou.

They already took him to the wharf but

he was still taken back by the gangsters.

Dad, don't you worry about it.

I will go there personally.

You want to go to Shanghai?

Okay.

This time, no matter what you have to do,

take him out of Shanghai.

Make a clean break

with those gangsters.

Rest assured.

Miss, can we be friends?

No, my mom doesn't let me be friends with bad guys.

You haven't tried.

How do you know I'm a good guy

or a bad guy?

Then let me give it a try.

If you are not a good guy after I try,

I want to return the goods.

Wait.

Let me take a bath first.

Sure, since there are roses,

let's take a flower bath together.

Don't.

Why not?

I'm afraid you will get a dizzy head

and be out of strength in the bathtub.

Don't you worry about my physical strength.

I'm afraid someone will beg for mercy later.

Okay.

We'll just wait and see.

Are you finished, Xiaolian?

How much longer do you want to be there?

Xiaolian?

Xiaolian!

If you don't speak,

I am coming in.

Xiaolian?
