=When a Snail Falls in Love 2023= =Episode 7=

(An adaptation of the novel "When a Snail Falls in Love" by Ding Mo)

Sister-in-law.

Where's Sen?

Is he not coming home again?

Because of the case yesterday, right?

He's been close with Xin since infancy, he pegs her as his sister.

He probably almost forgot

who his real sister is.

They're not biological siblings, after all.

Why must he be so upset?

Why didn't Yu come back for dinner today?

Because Xin has dead

and he has to take over all affairs

of the jewelry association.

Besides, Ratchaburi Auction is approaching.

He has to help out as well.

Brother,

as the CEO, you have so much free time.

Yu has done everything for you.

Because I trust your husband.

He's the financial director.

So, who else should do it, except for him?

But he volunteers for the event

of the jewelry association.

Perhaps he's worried

that you would

mess the whole event up.

So, he has to handle it himself.

Because your husband is capable

of just about anything.

Just not his work, he's really good at something else.

Brother.

Did I say that wrong?

What are you trying to get at?

- Oh, he likes philandering, doesn't he? - You're going overboard.

Stop it!

Someone died in our family!

And we're still fighting among ourselves!

Sen.

Come and eat.

Xin has left us.

Do you think I'm in the mood to eat now?

Look at you and Dad have such a good appetite.

What do you mean?

Like what it sounds.

Please enjoy your dinner,

everyone here.

This brat.

(Incoming call: Captain Pla)

Hello.

Where do we meet and when?

You reached Ratchaburi last night?

Just come. Don't ask so many questions.

(There will be a car to pick you up later.)

That's it for now.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

What took you so long?

Did the car drive way too slowly?

No one can be faster than you.

Why did you come early last night?

Was there something you need to deal with first?

So many questions.

Come with me.

You asked me why I was here earlier.

Look over there.

I need to cozy up to Mr. Yuthaichai.

So, who are you to him?

A new rookie in the business who wants to approach him.

What about me? Who am I?

Hello.

Hello.

Good morning.

Mr. Bowen.

Mr. Yuthaichai,

this is Nicha, my subordinate.

Nicha, this is Mr. Yuthaichai.

He's the chairman of this upcoming auction

and Miss Sichun's husband.

He's from the Zaiyongdanacai Group.

Most importantly,

Mr. Yuthaichai is a prominent figure in the business.

We have a lot to learn from him.

You flatter me, Mr. Bowen.

I didn't expect you

to have such a glamorous gem.

And that explains

why you bring her along.

Of course, I must.

Because Nicha attends the event

as my girlfriend.

If so, Miss Nicha and Mr. Bowen, please enjoy.

Tomorrow is the opening day of the jewelry auction.

Yes.

I'm afraid that the preparation might be lacking.

Because this is the greatest event in recent years.

I know.

Well.

Please call me at any time

if you need help.

Please don't let us keep you.

Thank you.

Coach.

Yes?

Yuthaichai has left.

I know.

Well,

is there anything I need to know about Yuthaichai?

Last night, while I was investigating him,

he was talking with someone named, Songticha.

He's the president of the Gemstone Weaving Association.

And I caught some information.

What's your deal?

Sorry, I'm truly sorry.

Let me wipe for you. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Here, boy.

Come over here.

Give me a massage.

Come on.

Put the cloth aside and give me a massage.

Come here.

You two can leave now.

President Zhang.

You can rest assured about this matter.

Although Xin has dead,

however,

our business will continue as usual.

But I heard that the police had started to look into Xin's death.

Will they trace to us?

No.

Those stupid police officers

are still cornered in the investigation of the Zaiyongdanacai family's account.

However, as a sign of good faith,

I'll only take five percent of the commission from the money laundered

in this event.

Why did you ask me here for

today?

Mr. Songticha, could you please explain this to the president?

I'll, Mr. Yuthaichai.

Here's the thing.

I'm the president of the jewelry association.

If I set my sights on a particular piece of jewelry,

the price of that jewelry naturally soars.

This time,

a ruby weighs 24.70 carats caught my attention.

I've had a diamond-cutting center to polish the ruby

and fabricated its historical background.

All we have to do

is to bid for the piece with your money

Mr. Yudachai will handle this.

Next,

I'll let Mr. Yuthaichai win the bid.

As for the rest,

you just have to wait for the money to turn into a legitimate income.

I can't wait to see it.

No problem, President.

Isn't this money laundering?

Do you still remember

what Ning said in the meeting room?

I've checked the transactions between the Zaiyongdanacai family and Miss Xin.

I found that Ms. Jindapa has transferred tens of millions to Miss Xin.

But the money disappeared.

The money Ms. Jindapa transferred

to Xin

is currently with Yuthaichai.

And he's laundering the money

to turn illicit money into legitimate income?

That's right.

I still haven't found out

where Xin got that money

from

and whether her death is related to the money.

In that case, Yuthaichai is the first suspect.

Correct.

Let's go and check in first.

We need to talk in detail about Yuthaichai.

All right.

It's you.

What's your relationship

with him?

I'm his girlfriend.

Girlfriend?

I can't breathe now.

Didn't you say you wouldn't date girls in this lifetime?

And that's the reason you broke up with me.

I'm sorry.

But I have plans later.

Let's meet some other time.

Wait.

You liar.

Jerk.

Gan.

Listen.

We'd never been together before.

Nothing has happened between us.

This is a public place. Keep your voice down.

Are you getting married soon?

Congratulations.

Dear.

Shall we go?

Hey.

Take this.

(Thai National ID Card. Miss Nicha)

Who's that?

Nicha?

Your alias.

I mean

that woman named Gan.

Was she your girlfriend?

It has nothing to do with work.

You don't need to know.

So, we're not getting away with this

until I answer you?

Yes.

I'm just curious.

Gan was my friend in secondary school back then.

When we met again,

she said she liked me,

but I didn't.

She requested me to date her for one day.

I said yes as I thought there was nothing to lose.

But I didn't expect that she couldn't move on

and was still hung up on me.

So, I made up an excuse

and told her that I never thought of dating.

Only then she gave up.

Until

she saw us together today?

Yes.

Any problem?

No.

I'm just surprised

that you have a history with her.

Yeah.

I'm a person, not a robot.

Unlike you,

an emotionless cold-blood person.

I do have feelings.

I'm just slow to warm up.

Wasu often says that about me.

Well, jokes aside.

In the upcoming jewelry auction,

only married couples can participate in it.

So, to pass ourselves off a couple,

I hope

you can call me something else.

You can call me "Wen."

Okay.

You...

Don't you have any questions like "Why Wen"?

It's normal for us

to use affectionate terms

since we're pretending to be lovers.

We're going to bug them this time.

This is the thing you need.

Take them with you wherever you go.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry to barge in just now.

I forgot to give you the invitation card.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Who's there, Wen?

Mr. Yuthaichai.

Well,

you guys talk.

I'll go inside.

Thanks.

I'm sorry about that.

It's okay.

Well, I've put you in the VIP seats.

Well,

enjoy.

Thanks.

How's my performance?

Not bad.

I think Yuthaichai

keeps testing me.

We ought to be careful later.

Yes, sir.

Oh, right.

Mr. Bowen and Miss Nicha

are the VIPs who just joined two weeks ago, right?

Yes.

Is there something wrong, boss?

I'm sorry.

Come on, boy.

I'm not sure.

Something isn't right.

Based on what I found about them,

they have a clean background.

Are you worried that they might have something up their sleeves?

Continue to look them up.

Inform me if you find anything.

Make sure this high-valued auction goes off without a hitch.

Keep an eye on them.

Yes.

I think I have seen them with guns.

But many businessmen carry guns these days,

especially those from out of the capital.

On top of that,

there's a shooting range nearby here.

- Keep an eye on them. - Okay.

Go ahead.

Yes.

We're going to take statements from all related people.

Are you ready?

Then, please proceed in order.

Where's Mr. Yuthaichai, Miss Sichun's husband?

He went to attend a jewelry exhibition seminar in Ratchaburi.

But I have a question.

You've already questioned us.

What else do you want to know?

We have some questions needed to be answered.

This is the police procedure.

I'm sorry to trouble you with this.

Well, this way, please.

Hello.

(Hello, Vita.)

We're taking statements at the residence of the Zaiyongdanacai family.

But Mr. Yuthaichai isn't here.

(He went to Na'en Resort for a seminar.)

- Did you see... - Excuse me.

What a coincidence.

Are you here for a walk?

I'm waiting for Wen.

Nicha? Wen?

Vita.

I heard about Xin's incident.

She's your family member.

My condolences.

Thank you.

The whole family is upset about that

and we hope the murderer can be brought to justice soon

so that Xin can rest in peace.

Scars are all over her body.

The murderer is so cruel.

That's ridiculous.

I can understand your feelings well.

When was the last time you saw Miss Xin?

Is this an interrogation?

Why

does your question sound strange?

Nicha.

What are you doing here?

Hey, Mr. Yuthaichai.

Miss Nicha is inquisitive.

If her question has offended you,

please forgive her.

She's been watching this news recently.

Besides, she admires Miss Xin very much.

Please answer me, Mr. Yuthaichai.

That's enough, Nicha.

We should let Mr. Yudachai rest.

I apologize.

I've gone overboard.

It's fine.

We shall talk next time.

I'll get going, then.

What were you doing?

Mr. Yuthaichai seems suspicious.

But I couldn't really say.

But the more suspicious one is you.

No one would start a conversation with a deceased.

And you texted me

saying you were out for a walk to find clues.

But I caught you questioning someone.

I'm very sorry.

I didn't think it through.

Although I find him suspicious,

however, the evidence about the day of the crime we have

proved that Yuthaichai wasn't there.

I don't know what I should do

or maybe I'm too hasty.

Do you pick at your fingernails whenever you're thinking?

Yes.

I'll change this.

Don't let anyone notice this habit.

They will make use of this.

If he's the one we're looking for,

then his alibi isn't perfect.

In other words, there must be flaws.

Have you figured something out?

If the evidence he rendered is forged,

it means that something's wrong with the airline.

I'll inform Da and Ming

to go to the airline

to look up all the information of Yuthaichai's flights.

What about me?

Before anything is found,

you

can only observe him secretly.

Don't start any investigation for the time being.

Okay?

Yes.

The event starts tomorrow.

So today,

we just need to observe the participants

and that's all.

Yes.

Where are you going, Coach?

Go jogging.

I think you need some exercise too.

You have to maintain discipline

even when you have an outstation task.

Yes.

See you this evening.

Yes.

Da.

Did Captain seek assistance from the local police at Ratchaburi?

No, just the two of them.

Normally, Captain keeps his action confidential.

Besides, Ratchaburi is his spot.

Really?

Did they work separately?

When I called Vita,

I heard names like Bowen or Wen.

Bowen is Captain.

It's his undercover name,

and Wen is the nickname.

Hello, revered officers.

I don't think you're expected today.

I came here to inquire about the progress of Miss Xin's case.

If you're here for that...

What do you want?

I only want to hear it from Vita.

You're here for Vita,

Yes.

aren't you?

I can wait for her.

You're here just to wait for Vita?

Yes.

No problem.

As a businessman,

I have one whole day to wait for her.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'm afraid it'll be a long wait.

About two...

to three

days.

Why?

Unfortunately, she went out for Miss Xin's case.

- So... - Where's she?

Captain told us not to tell.

They went together.

Together.

Together.

And they'll stay in one room.

Don't tell me

they're together means...

Don't tell you? Well, we won't tell you.

We won't tell.

One man's meat is another man's poison.

How pathetic.

Well done.

The one who went, "Surprise!"

What did he come here for?

- No idea. - No idea.

Ignore him.

Ming, Da.

Go to the airline

to look up all the flights Yuthaichai took

and find out where he was on the night of the incident.

Ning.

Yes.

Come with me.

What are you laughing about?

Go to work.

Let's go.

Yes.

Sir, you can stop here.

Grandma Lek.

Pla.

Are you all right?

I'm good.

I miss you very much.

Who's there?

Why are you here?

Give me back the phone.

What phone?

You should use the tracking device in the case,

not put it in my back.

What's wrong with you?

You said you went jogging

but it turns out you came here.

What are you investigating?

Must you know everything?

You should go back to the hotel now.

Grandma, let's go inside.

Are you here with your girlfriend?

- No. - No.

Let's go inside.

Vita, come on in.

Come on, girl.

Grandma.

I wouldn't have known that you were sick

if Beibo hadn't told me.

Don't worry.

I'm all good. Just a cold.

You don't have to come here. You came last night too.

I must tell Beibo not to phone you,

she has disturbed you.

Please don't.

I planned to come back too.

Because tomorrow is his...

I'm sorry to cause you trouble.

Not at all.

You're his wife, so I see you as my granddaughter.

- No. - No, Grandma.

She is my teammate.

And his trainee.

If so,

I shall take my leave.

Are you going back so soon?

Yes.

I think

Coach should have his private time.

Wait. Hold on.

This is the first time Pla brought a girl back.

He hasn't come back home for a long while.

Just stay here for one night, all right?

Vita, can you stay here to keep me company?

Grandma, I...

So, the stain on your clothes yesterday is the color of the dyed cloth?

I thought...

What?

Well...

Pla helped me to dye the cloth yesterday.

He has done this many times.

Still, he always ended up messy.

I'll go and prepare some dishes.

My future granddaughter-in-law.

Grandma.

It's not that, Grandma.

I'll help you to cook.

By the way, where's Beibo?

School should be over by now, right?

She went camping

and she'll be back tomorrow.

She'll be back just in time for the day.

Okay.

Let's go.

(Thai Limited Airways)

Hello.

How may I help you?

Could you provide us with the security-camera footage?

Yes.

Here you go.

Thank you for your cooperation.

You're welcome.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

We've got the footage.

He did come to retrieve the flight ticket before departure.

Captain may have mistaken him this time.

I think we should confirm this

with the counter staff or cabin crew.

Agree.

You're getting more meticulous now, Ming.

Grandma.

Wait, let me help you.

No, I can do it myself.

You're the guest. I can't trouble you with this.

But do you mind sleeping on the floor?

What?

I'll take the mattress to another room for you.

The owner of this room

doesn't like others sleeping here.

Grandma.

I...

I'm afraid I can't stay tonight.

I need to go back to the hotel.

Thank you so much, Grandma.

I'll put it back for you.

This should be the owner of this room, right?

Yeah, that's my naughty grandson.

He rarely comes back after he leaves for Bangkok.

It seems that he has wanted to become a police officer since he was little.

Yes, that's his dream.

It's finally come true, even though it's a bad dream.

I'll go and rustle up some dessert for you.

Sure.

2015?

Isn't this the year when Luger's case occurred?

(Closure Report of Luger's Case in 2015 Executed by: Black Lion)

Do you know you're not allowed to enter this room?

I was helping Grandma to tidy up

and about to come out.

Grandma is preparing some dessert.

She asks for your help.

Sure.

This one.

I can't recall that. We had several flight routes that day.

I don't really remember anything.

Can I look at the ticket?

Yes, it's our flight.

I was serving in both First Class and Business Class that day.

No one was in the First Class.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Perhaps this passenger bought the ticket

but didn't take the flight due to something urgent.

If so,

can we check the security camera footage in the cabin?

I'm sorry.

For privacy and safety of our passengers,

we didn't install cameras.

But the VIP lounge

might have cameras.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- We're off, then. - We're off, then.

Ming.

We're going to burn the midnight oil tonight.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Frankly, you look good in this.

The color is amazing.

Nice.

Thank you.

Grandma prepares this for you.

Go and get changed.

All right.

The pajamas suit you well.

Look at the color.

Nice. Amazing color.

Thanks a bunch.

But you don't have to praise me if you didn't mean that.

Vita.

Actually,

I know you're curious about what happened Badin.

Since you're here now,

why don't you ask?

You should know whose house this is by now.

Don't you want to ask me something?

Grandma Lek is very kind.

I can sense that you're relaxed

in this place.

If this is your wound,

I won't press you any harder.

Tomorrow, I'll go and visit Badin.

Do you want to come with me?

Can I?

Sleep early.

You'll sleep upstairs.

I'll sleep on the sofa.

Yes, Coach.

Badin.

I want to break into it and seize him.

It might be a trap.

Badin!

Run!

No.

Don't go in.

Badin!

No.

Be patient.

Badin.

Badin.

Coach.

No.

Coach.

Badin.

Don't go in.

I said don't go in.

No. No!

Coach.

Just like what Captain predicted.

He didn't take the flight. He left through the exit in the lounge.

(Black Lion)

(Luger)

I was planning to seek your guidance about jewelry.

Mr. Yuthaichai, did you come here alone?

I always have many questions

for someone I'm interested in.

It's a female designer called Apinya.

She usually works overseas.

Can you help me to take a look?

Does this mean I've fallen prey to the scam now?

The bid begins.

This is how they launder money.

They transfer the auction fund to Yuthaichai's company account.

After that, they'll transfer it to the mastermind.
