MY ROOMMATE IS A DETECTIVE

♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔ Episode 31

Cheers.

Any more wine?

No. I'll buy some more.

No. Let's stop here.

Notify Adou to bring a bottle of iodine

and search the trash cans around the ballroom carefully.

What will he look for?

Evidence, of course.

You finally came around?

Tell Inspector Qiao.

Don't use handcuffs on her.

That's the only thing

I can do for her.

Miss Zou, this is Mr. Norman.

Pleased to meet you.

Please take a seat.

Thank you.

I heard a lot about you from your sister.

My sister, Really? What did she say?

She said you are quite clever,

and beautiful from a young age.

And you'll have a happy and bright future ahead of you.

I no longer hope for any happiness.

I'll just be lucky enough to be alive in Shanghai.

I understand, but I think that medicine factory still has lots of potential.

To be honest, I don't think I am suited for that kind of work.

Come on. You're quite a genius,

especially given the explosion that you created.

I think you would be able to make

lots of things with our resources.

I don't know what you're saying.

I planted an informant with your sister.

From the beginning I've been watching your every move.

So why didn't you stop me?

Your sister had a big appetite you know.

You are a well-educated girl.

You've received your higher education in Cambridge.

I feel it would be much easier for us to find a way together.

Hail Cambridge grads?

Let's make a toast to our successful future working together.

Qiao Chusheng, what are you doing here?

To arrest a suspect, of course.

Miss Zou, please go to the police station with me.

The charge is?

She created that explosion.

Me?

Do you have evidence?

Do we have to say it here?

If you don't make it clear, I won't go with you.

Fine.

Then allow me to

sort the whole thing out.

If I get anything wrong, please do correct me.

Your sister Zou Ying and Mr. Bai were doing business together.

At first the business went well.

But she was not good at business

which led to a severe imbalance.

To make up for the shortfall

she used the staff of the medicine factory

to extract heroin from opium.

Then she smuggled the heroin to Hong Kong and made a lot of money.

But what she did also offended Mr. Bai.

In order to find a new patron,

she forced you to marry Mr. Huang as his concubine.

It thus created an irreconcilable rift

in your relationship.

I killed over such a reason? I don't think so.

Besides, I am a weak woman.

Where did I get the explosives?

It's not any explosive that caused the explosion,

but flour.

Flour can kill people? I've never heard of it.

The reason why flour can explode is because…

Wait a minute.

The reason why flour explodes

is the dust has a larger specific surface area.

Compared to clumpy material,

dust has a strong chemical activity

and large air contact area.

It can adsorb a lot of oxygen molecules and cause a fast exothermic oxidation.

When under an opportune conditions,

any ignited dust

will create a violent combustion reaction

and instantly release huge energy.

That is to say

when every cubic meter of air contains

9.7 grams of flour,

there will be a violent explosion.

You were there that night.

Where did the flour come from?

Spouted from the dry ice machine.

There were six dry ice blasting machines on the stage that night.

Five of them were indeed filled with dry ice,

but one was filled with flour.

When the show started,

five machines started at the same time,

and the dry ice formed vapor.

After the mist was mixing with the flour particles,

because cold air has lower quality than hot air,

water vapor sunk.

Soon

the only thing left on stage

was flour particles that don't flow easily.

The dust concentration in the air was increasing gradually.

After Zou Ying sang that song and

took a photo with Chairman Liu,

the reporter's flash lighted the dust.

Then a violent explosion occurred.

Even so,

how can you prove that I put the flour in the machine?

It's easy.

After the incident

you learned that Lu Yao would come to investigate the case.

You knew he was a good detective,

so you decided to venture back to the scene

and wipe the inner wall of the machine's spray gun clean.

When he investigated the scene last night

he found the spray gun that you wiped clean.

So many people were there that night.

Why did you guys point at me?

Your fingerprint is on the inner wall of the spray gun.

The handkerchief you used to wipe it

was dumped into a trash can in the back alley of the ballroom.

It also has your fingerprint on it.

And at the back alley we also

found some traces of carrying flour.

But after spraying iodine, the flour changed color.

We found your footprints on the flour

which led all the way to the backstage of the ballroom.

How did you guys suspect me in the first place?

Your shoes.

Shoes?

At the night of the bombing,

you were wearing a pair of black high heels.

In the police station the next morning,

you claimed that you didn't go back home all night.

But you changed to a pair of red high heels.

This strange thing

raised Lu Yao's suspicion.

In the trash can in the back alley of the ballroom,

we found those black high heels.

This shows that you knew

your shoes would get stained that night beforehand.

At your home

you rummaged through the trash can for a lighter.

You don't smoke, your sister smoked.

So before leaving home,

you knew your sister would never come back home.

That was why you threw her lighter

in the trash can.

As for flour

it was written clearly on your ledger that

your family spent twenty silver dollars just three days ago

to buy flour and rice.

In your kitchen Lu Yao

there was only a thin layer of flour left.

He inferred from this fact that the explosion was caused by flour.

So I was self-defeating.

I guess you gave me the ledger and the bullet

in the hope that when we found the lead was tied to Mr. Bai,

we would close the case and leave it unsolved, right?

I am blessed to have such an ex-boyfriend.

I finished my speech.

Can you go with me now?

Bravo!

It's wonderful to see the process of a case today.

It's so wonderful.

You're welcome.

What is this?

We found it at Zou's house.

Times with a Shanghai twist.

After careful cross checking, we found

this is slightly different from the original one.

What do you mean?

This newspaper is customer-made.

It was printed only for Zou Jing to read it.

And on the paper

there is a lot of interesting content.

A flour mill's big explosion,

and the working principle of dry ice blast machine.

I think Zou Jing must have gotten her criminal inspiration

from the information.

So compared to this case itself,

we are more interested in

the clues behind the case.

Excuse me, what are you suggesting?

I wouldn't dare.

I just hope

you can let Lu Yao stay.

After all, the long-term security of the Concession

is our top priority.

Deal.

So,

goodbye.

You are in a good mood.

Where is Lu Yao?

He

doesn't want to see you.

What are you doing here then?

Come to see how humiliated I am?

Yes.

You were doing fine.

The fact that you ended up here today

is self-inflicted.

If I were really doing fine, you wouldn't have a chance with him.

On what basis are you so confident?

Has he written a love letter to you?

He wrote to me.

Many of them.

So?

Has he ever cooked for you?

Would he bring it to the bed and feed you?

I am not disabled. I don't need him to feed me.

Lu Yao asked me a question before.

Why I cried

when I was saying goodbye to Keynes.

Go back and tell him,

when we were together,

I was always the one who gave rather than received.

Only when I was with Keynes，

I felt I was loved,

respected, and protected.

It's my biggest regret in my life

that we didn't really end up together.

So, you never loved Lu Yao.

That idiot.

Selfish, naive, and a male chauvinist.

I'll let you be his servant.

You don't know how to appreciate Lu Yao.

So you know?

I wish you happiness.

Thank you.

I will work hard

and try not to let you down.

Goodbye.

He loves fish.

Deep-fried fish, especially yellow croaker.

Marinated it with cooking wine overnight.

Coat it with bread crumbs.

Deep-fry until it turns golden,

and then sprinkle a little pepper and sea salt.

You cook the fish right,

he will never be able to live without you.

Thank you.

This weather is

not unsuitable for playing golf.

There is no suitable golf course in Shanghai anyway.

Can you play golf?

But poorly.

In contrast, I prefer to dance.

You still got the guts to go to a ballroom again?

I heard that the mastermind of the ballroom bombing

is your ex-girlfriend.

Who told you that?

Just tell me yes or not.

We broke up a long time ago.

So are you single now?

Why? Do you want to set me up with someone?

No, can I just recommend myself?

Are you just being polite?

Actually, I wanted to know you

when I read about how you solved cases

in the newspaper.

I didn't expect Chusheng

really introduced you to me.

I asked my dad to ask around.

Actually our families

have many common friends.

if you want,

you can go to work in my brother's foreign trade company.

There is a vacancy for executive director.

I appreciate your kindness.

But I am a lazy person.

I don't want to live a life of officer workers.

If you don't want to go to work

then don't.

As long as you can make time

to have tea and chat with me.

I also like to chat or have tea with you.

But I have an untamed shrew at home.

I don't dare to do that.

So you and Miss Bai have established a romantic relationship?

I'm not sure if it's established or not.

We often quarrel when we meet.

But if I can't see her for a few days,

I will feel empty.

If she's sad, I'll be sad too.

But if she gets too happy,

I want to upset her.

Anyway, seeing her angry because of me

makes me feel good.

What do you like about her?

I can't tell.

I'm not an expert in love.

Maybe dating her

will be the biggest mistake I've made in my life.

Fortunately, I am young and can afford to make a mistake.

I've got to go. Let's stay in contact.

Put it down. I haven't sprinkled pepper yet.

You saw Zou Jing?

What did she tell you?

She said you are selfish, naive, hard to please

and a male chauvinist.

Then she knows me well.

What were you doing today?

I had an appointment with someone.

Male or female?

A very beautiful woman.

And she's gentle, virtuous, and highly educated.

She's elegant, graceful and she plays golf.

And she also studied abroad, right?

Right, Princeton.

The two of us hit it off.

We had a great chat.

You two would make such a good couple.

Unlike me,

who's not gentle or beautiful.

I never studied abroad

and I'm an untamed shrew.

You had someone to follow me?

I don't have that time.

In Shanghai, where there is an accountant's office,

there is my informant.

He took the initiative to tell me what you did.

What can I do?

You are illegally eavesdropping. This is immoral!

You know?

You were bad-mouthing me behind my back

What made you stand on the moral high ground?

Untamed shrew?

Why don't you say that I am a living Satan?

What else did you say?

Seeing me angry makes you feel good, right?

OK.

I will make you feel really good today!

You are still young, huh?

You can afford to make a mistake.

Can you afford it or not now?

Can you? Freeze!

Come over here and answer me!

What do you want me to say?

Bad-mouth me in front of me if you dare!

I am young! What's wrong with me being young?

Silly Lu, come here!

Come on!

Why would I even make you deep-fried yellow croaker?

I'll kill you today

or I will change my surname!

Come back to me!

Mr. Bai, I have heard so much about you.

The feeling is mutual.

Please, take a seat.

I came to shanghai this time

mainly to thank you.

Thank you for taking

care of my younger brother these days.

I should be the one thanking you.

Lu Yao helped the Shanghai police

solve so many major cases.

As a citizen, I should be grateful to him.

So without further ado,

I'm going to take Lu Yao home with me this time.

He is a living person.

Who can stop him if he wants to leave?

Zhiqing wanted to take him to Guangdong

but someone stopped him.

That was kidnapping.

It was against Lu Yao's will.

Do you think it's appropriate?

The Municipal Council wanted to send him to Scotland Yard.

But the plan was also stopped by you guys.

I hope we can discuss this when you do a thorough investigation

about the British people.

I know he and your daughter are dating.

But my family has an upright and honest tradition.

My dad would never agree him to marry her.

Go back and tell your father.

I am a very simple man.

If someone comes as my in-law, I serve good wine.

If they come as my enemy, I serve grenades.

Lu Yao is a good kid.

If he wants to stay here, I will do my best to help him.

Understood.

Goodbye.

Don't bother to entertain me, I have an appointment to play cards.

I'll leave after collecting the rent.

Sit with me for a while.

You barely come here.

Actually, I want to ask you for some advice.

What is it?

You have been married a few times before, right?

Then you must have a lot of experience in this area.

What do you mean?

You think I want to get married so many times?

Every time I hoped this time could last forever,

but God just didn't agree.

There is nothing I can do.

No, no, I didn't mean to be sarcastic.

I really want to ask you for advice.

How can you let a guy marry you?

This kind of thing

is mainly decided by fate.

If he likes you,

you just need to give him a push, and he will propose to you.

How to push?

This depends on what his hobbies are.

For example, if he likes to dance,

then you dance with him.

Dance with him crazily. Be there whenever he needs a dance partner.

And then suddenly ignore him.

He will get anxious and worried, then he'll pull out the diamond ring.

What if as soon as I ignore him,

he finds someone to dance with?

He won't.

Lu Yao is not that kind of man.

Also no other girls like Lu Yao, except me.

So the two of you

are really together?

It's not my call.

It depends on what he wants.

Didn't you say you were pregnant last time? You aborted it?

Last time I was kidding with you.

But one thing led to another, it got serious.

You guys were making fun of me!

Actually I am not an expert

in chasing guys.

I am born a man magnet.

I attract men when I am just having my breakfast in a street stand.

My experience may not be suitable for you.

Then who can I ask for advice?

Of course there are experts in this area.

Expert?

Who is it?

Let me tell you…

Thank you.

Why do you want to ask me about romantic relationship?

Because you are experienced of course.

Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to be sarcastic.

But you surely know better than me

when it comes to the relationship between men and women.

If I really knew better, I would have been married to someone.

Ok.

I still owe you a favor in the previous case.

Go ahead.

Last week a man…

kissed me.

Which part did he kiss?

On the lips.

And then?

That's it.

After that, it was just like

nothing happened between us.

We met every day

but our relationship didn't seem to change at all.

Maybe he's just too shy?

Him?

He's very cheeky.

His ex-girlfriend said he wrote many love letters to her.

He even cooked and fed her.

So romantic.

Why did he do nothing when it comes to me?

I think

maybe he thinks you two are too close friends

so it's hard for him to make a move?

I already leave the door of my room unlocked every night.

If he doesn't come, I can't go to his room.

That is not what I mean.

I mean you two are friends.

He might be worried that

in case you guys break up,

then you can't even go back to be friends.

Why did he kiss me then?

His mother kissed you too?

I haven't seen his mother.

I'm sorry, I got it wrong.

Do you like him?

How much?

It's okay.

From zero to one hundred, scale how much you like him.

One hundred and twenty.

What are you waiting for then? Take the initiative to chase him.

Take the initiative?

But…

If he refuses me, that will be so embarrassing.

That's still better than waiting in your room with the door open.

Let me tell you.

Buy two tickets first.

What tickets?

That's not important.

Any performance will do.

Movies, drama, Peking Opera,

Stage play, anything.

The key lies in the private space.

What are you doing?

It's good for the brain.

What does it mean?

Keep the blood rushing to my brain,

which can stimulate neuron growth.

Are you free tonight?

Why?

Um.

So,

someone gave me two tickets for shadow play.

I watch movies, Peking Opera, stage plays,

or even cross talks and circus.

But a local niche drama like shadow play?

No, thanks.

I can teach you.

My mother was a fan of operas.

I had been watching shadow play with her since childhood.

Forget it. No.

You want to hurt my feelings?

It's not like that.

Do you remember

when we watched a movie together last time,

then what happened?

So?

When we appeared together in the Dahua Ballroom last time,

what happened there, again?

What are you getting at?

Every time

the two of us

appeared together in a certain place,

someone died.

For yours and others' life,

find someone else to go with you.

Thanks, King of Hell.

Don't thank you, I want you to get out!

The impatient King of Hell

torn the Book of Life and Death

and razed the Hell to the ground in one kick.

Bravo!

Bravo!

What do you think?

The "Meeting of Wufeng" scene

with actions without singing is not bad.

How come you like this kind of play?

This is the quintessence of Chinese culture.

It started in the Western Han Dynasty and prospered in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Yuan Dynasty it even spread to West Asia and Europe.

It has a very long history.

What's going on?

Are they going to do an encore?

There is an extra play?

Look!

Someone is killed!

That is a shadow puppet!

The shadow puppet killed someone!

Hurry, hurry!

Is someone dead inside?

Open the door!

Step aside!

Be careful.

The show is over.

Why don't you go home?

-Mr. Wu Peiyan. -Mr. Wu is here.

You are in charge?

Yes.

I'm Inspector Qiao from the Concession Police Station.

Please open the door.

Why?

I suspect something went wrong inside.

Yu?

Yu!

Don't come in.

Yu, Yu!

Mr. Wu, I am sorry for your loss.

Yu!

Sorry.

Youning, go out to keep a watch on everyone.

No one is allowed to leave without my permission.

Step back!

Step back!

I see what's happening!

So soon?

It turns out the person that will bring misfortune

to people around her is not me,

but you.

Wait.

It should be pulled off by the victim during the fight.

Take it back to examine fingerprints.

What's going on?

The dead is called Tao Yu.

He was a shadow puppeteer in this theater.

The audience left after the show.

When they passed this corridor,

the light of this room suddenly turned on.

Everyone present

witnessed a shadow puppet

stabbed Tao Yu sitting here to death.

There was less than two minutes

from he dropping dead to us entering the room.

Shadow puppet murder?

Are you sure that's not a person posing as a puppet?

No one can pretend to be a puppet because of their different shapes.

You didn't see anyone coming in or going out?

No, no.

Let me tell you a fact of law.

Perjury is also an offence.

Perjury? No one is making false testimony.

What are you running for?

I am talking to you. Come out.

You, come out.

What are you doing?

That's Mr. Ge

He used to play Erhu,

now he works as a concierge in the theater.

Why are you leaving?

I…

Say it.

No, I, you…

Mr. Ge?

I didn't kill him, I swear!

I'm here to investigate the murder case, not a drugs bust.

Can I borrow it?

Don't speak.

What are you doing?

Looking for a secret chamber.

I have been here for more than a decade.

I have never heard of any secret chamber.

What is this room for?

Storage room.

Didn't the victim have performance tonight?

Why was he here?

As usual,

after the performance, he would come here and put the shadow props into the box.

This is the shadow prop box, right?

Open to take a look.

Oh, it's you!

Say it! What grudge do you hold against the victim?

Why did you kill him?

Did that shadow puppet really kill him?

Say it.

So many people are watching.

Haven't you heard of a Maoshan evil spell

called King of Hell's Curse?

It is said that this spell

needs the blood of

49 virgins to refine.

Then apply their corpse oil on the paper,

and use your mind to cast spells.

Those who saw this curse in person

will die from unnatural causes.

So many people jammed in here.

I was suffocated by their bad breath and foot odor.

Bro, hurry up to examine.

I haven't slept for almost 30 hours.

Everyone present tonight.

Name, address, contact information.

The more detailed, the better.

I suspect the murderer is among these people.

Then why did you…

Call them back!

I told you that you will bring bad luck.

If I were your father, I would have strangled you long time ago.

Silly Lu, shut up!

-Do you want some night snack? -Ouch!

Of course!

Silly Lu!

Silly Lu!

Silly Lu!

Take care of him.

Silly Lu!

Silly Lu, listen to me.

Don't sleep, stay awake! Stay with me!

Silly Lu, wake up!

Silly Lu!

Youning.

Don't worry.

Youning, don't worry.

I found someone to foretell this guy's fortune.

He can live into his nineties

with a lot of grandchildren and a happy and wealth life.

How is he, nurse?

Which one of you is the patient's family?

I'm.

I need to advise you of the risk of the operation.

I'll need you to sign a waiver.

Hasn't the operation already started?

He was in critical condition and we didn't even have the time for paperwork.

Now we need to go through the procedure.

If you don't sign it,

we can only do regular rescue.

Are you an immediate family member?

I am his wife.

Then sign it.

OK.

OK.

Wife?

As long as he is alive,

in our lifetime

I will be with him every moment of every day.

I will never separate from him for a second.

I'll let him get so sick of me.

How is he, doctor?

How is he?

Don't worry. The patient's out of danger.

Thank you, doctor, thank you so much.

When can he wake up?

He's still in a coma.

To be precise, he's in a deep sleep.

But according to the current situation,

he should wake up soon.

What about the bullet?

What bullet?

He was shot so there should be a bullet in his body.

We didn't find any bullet in his body.

How could it be possible?

He does have a wound on his chest.

But by the shape of the wound,

it feels more like a knife wound.

What's going on?

A knife wound?

You can't be comatose by a knife wound.

We found this in his palm.

Maybe he pulled it out

after he was shot.

Triangular pyramid blade at the front

is for piercing the skin.

The middle cylinder is hollow.

The baffle at the end is to prevent the bullet

from going further into the body

This is…

It's kind of like a micro syringe.

Everyone gather around.

Mr. Qiao.

Awei,

lead a unit to guard the ward.

Without my permission, no one is allowed to visit him.

Yes, sir!

Along, spread my orders.

Send someone to keep a watch on the station and the dock.

If you find anyone suspicious,

arrest and take them back for interrogation no matter what.

What if we catch innocent people?

I'll take the responsibility.

Yes, sir!

Liuzi,

follow me to the crime scene.

Bring the dogs.

Dobermans, German Shepherds, bring all the dogs!
