I'm very sorry, Miss.

This is a pool party.

You must be in a swimsuit to be allowed entry.

So... I'm sorry.

Zhou Xiao Zhuan.

What's up, Boss?

Come! Come catch me!

Okay, got it.

Didn't you say it was a pool party? How did it turn into a swimsuit party?

- That-- - Oh, crap! Don't say any more!

Listen, if Boss kills me this time

you're going down with me!

Oh no, I'm so done for!

Handsome, I really can't go in if I'm not in a swimsuit?

You can't make an exception?

Not even for a beautiful woman like me?

[Memory Lost]

[Any resemblances are purely coincidental.]

[Episode 1]

No more, thanks.

You can report to your manager

that there may be a thermostat malfunction in the hotel's wine cellar.

There is a whiff of cork taint in the red wine.

If you encounter a picky customer, you'll be leaving a bad impression.

I'm sorry. I'll bring you another bottle.

That's not necessary. Make me a pot of tea instead.

It so happens there's something I'd like you to help me with.

All right.

This will do now, right?

Yes. Please enter.

- Did you bring the money? - Where are the goods?

- Take action. - Yes, Boss!

Let's get going! Quickly!

Put it down.

She's amazing!

Xiao Zhuan, I'm leaving the rest to you.

Don't move! Get down! Don't move!

Get down! All of you, stay down!

- It's not my fault! - Seize them all!

- Xiao Zhuan, seal off the entire hotel. - Okay.

Take them all away.

You...

There's actually another one of them?

Officer Zhou, the camera is showing something strange!

- What? - The camera is acting strange!

This is...

Boss, Boss! Stop rolling around! What is going on over there?

What exactly is going on?

What did you just see?

I didn't see anything! I just saw you rolling around in the sheets!

Are you looking to die?

No, wait! I really didn't see anything!

Look up all information on the guest who checked into this room.

Okay, Boss! Leave it to me!

Young man, hand over the briefcase.

Sure thing.

You've done a lot today, Officer Bai.

Boss! Boss!

Boss, are you okay?

I'm fine! What's up?

We caught four of the perps. One got away.

One got away?

What were you doing? How could you let one get away?

Boss, weren't you and that person...

I...

Here you go.

How's the investigation of the one in Room 4120?

I've looked into it. There was a party at the hotel today.

The rooms on the third and fourth floors were used as dressing rooms and lounges

so there were no check-in records.

What about service personnel? Someone must've called for room service.

I've asked the staff.

The one in charge of that room is named Si Si.

I met her before when I came to Suse Hotel to scope out the area.

She is a single mother and works here part-time at night.

She isn't suspicious at all.

- Can she be trusted? - Yes.

One of the suspects is on the loose and the whereabouts of the goods are unknown.

The man from Room 4120 is very likely an accomplice.

Find him even if you have to turn over every stone in this city!

Yes!

Officer Bai!

Officer Bai, the remaining suspect has been captured.

- Captured? - How?

Somebody left him in the alley out back.

Great! Our mission has a perfect ending.

- Tell the team it's time to leave! - Okay.

Get going.

Boss, are we still investigating that man?

Boss, are you all right?

Why wouldn't I be all right? Investigate! Absolutely!

Investigate! Absolutely!

I'll take you home.

No need! I can drive home myself.

- Then, I'll-- - Leave!

Wait.

Boss, you actually look quite sexy in swimwear.

Bye, Boss!

What are you saying?

What's wrong with me? What are you saying?

What are you all saying? What exactly are you saying?

My name is Bai Jin Xi.

I am a police officer at the Guanhu Public Security Bureau.

Five years ago, I lost all my memories in a big accident.

From then on, I threw myself into my work

hoping that I wouldn't have any more of those dreams at night.

But it is of no use.

Those nightmares are like fragments of my lost memories.

[Jiangcheng Guanhu Public Security Bureau]

Good morning, Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai.

- Morning, Xiao Bai. - Morning, Xiao Bai.

Morning, Boss!

Let me tell you.

Last night's joint department mission was a great success!

All suspects have been caught and the stolen goods have been recovered.

Listen.

What's wrong? Are you injured?

- Let me see. - What's wrong with you this morning?

Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?

Can't you type more quietly so early in the morning?

Damn, Boss is in such a bad mood today.

I'll definitely end up being the unlucky one.

Absolutely not.

I have to change her habit

of beating me up whether she's eating or sleeping.

This guy will be able to help me.

Save me, Dr. Xu! Boss is in a terrible mood today. Please help!

Please go to page 23 of the autopsy report.

The section describing the victim's injuries.

- What is that sound? - I don't know.

What does he want?

Number 9.

Tell us what kind of weapon caused the injury on the victim's right thigh.

The wound has a rounded edge pattern.

It is a stab wound.

The width of the wound is not large. Could it be a fruit knife?

Your words are full of speculation.

A qualified forensic pathologist must be precise.

A small discrepancy could lead to a great error.

Number 12, you're up.

The wound does indeed have a rounded edge pattern

as well as the appearance of hardening of the skin.

The width of the wound is not large.

This indicates the weapon has sharp edges, but a blunt point.

Therefore, it is not a fruit knife

but the file from a Swiss Army knife.

- That is very reasonable. - Very solid reasoning.

That's right.

I have emphasized this many times.

The depth of an injury and the wounded area

are important clues to accurately determining the weapon.

However, you've all only noticed the superficial aspects of the wound.

Now please turn to page 10 of the report and begin from the fifth line.

From this data, you can deduce

the weapon's length was a restriction.

Even if the weapon was plunged in at full force

it would've only reached as far as the muscle.

However, because both the suspect and victim are female

only one item out of their common household products fits the description.

A nail file from a manicure set.

That's right! As expected from Professor Xu! It's a nail file.

How come I didn't think of that?

Professor Xu is so amazing. It's a waste for him to be a doctor.

Why isn't he a forensic pathologist?

He has his own aspirations.

He's so good at cooking. Why don't you say he should be a chef?

He's not just a doctor. He's also a forensic consultant.

He's even cooking a meal for the woman he loves.

How wonderful.

It'd be great if I had a boyfriend like Professor Xu.

Exactly, I want someone like him too.

Dr. Xu, I've heard you are arrogant and don't follow the norm.

Even so, how could you treat something as important as teaching so lightly?

Professor Lin, do you think there is a problem with the contents of my lesson?

If you don't have any objections to my analysis, class can be dismissed now.

If you have any objections to me, a part-time forensic consultant

then we can terminate my employment contract.

After all, I have much more important things to do

- than teach some inattentive students. - You!

His name is Xu Si Bai, a doctor.

He is highly skilled in his expertise

especially in the field of forensic science.

That's why we often hire him to be our forensic consultant.

[Delicious food today.] I often use biology's symbiosis

[Let's eat together.] to describe our relationship.

Without him feeding me, I would probably starve to death.

Without my company, he would probably be bored to death.

Yes, he is a peculiar existence who is invisible, yet radiant.

Isn't that Dr. Xu?

Have you heard?

We hired him as a consultant for the case the province sent us.

He had an autopsy report ready in less than six hours.

- Is he that incredible? - Yes.

Dr. Xu is so handsome.

Too bad he's already taken.

Jin Xi.

You're here already.

Put it down over there. I'll be right over.

Let's eat.

What did you make for me today?

What's wrong?

It's nothing, just a light injury.

What happened? Don't tell me you beat someone up again.

Of course not.

I was just unlucky.

I came across a rabid dog during yesterday's joint mission.

Let me take a look.

All right, come on.

Right here.

Stop charging into the fray like you're a man.

If you encounter someone ruthless, you'll be at a disadvantage.

It's just a light injury. I'll be fine in a few days.

Does it still hurt?

It does seem to be a bit better now.

Let's eat.

What kind of fish is this?

What do you think?

Does it taste good?

Xu, there's really nothing that can be said about your cooking.

Do you know I was originally in a bad mood today?

After eating your food, I feel like life is wonderful again!

Boss, Dr. Xu.

What are you eating? Let me have a bite.

It's so spicy!

You dare to steal my food when you can't even stomach spicy food?

Listen, someone reported a crime.

Xu, I have to go. You're on your own.

Honestly, why didn't you say that first?

Bye, Dr. Xu.

You eat such spicy food.

We just received the report.

The scene of the crime is the Red Star Theater.

- Officer Bai. - What do we have here?

The scene is very clean.

Nothing was left behind, not even a fingerprint.

- Let's go. - All right.

Wax green apple.

Fake roses.

This was carefully arranged.

A fairytale theme.

It smells so good, it's making me hungry.

Boss, Boss!

Come take a look.

There is a thermos of wonton chicken soup.

Could the criminal have eaten a late night snack here yesterday?

He even used a mosquito-repellent coil.

It seems the criminal really made himself at home.

Officer Bai, the manager is here.

You reported the crime?

Yes. Hello, Officer.

What kind of people normally frequent this theater?

After the troupe disbanded, the performers stopped coming around.

Once in a while, another unit will use this space for training.

Even the storage space has been rented out

and it houses miscellaneous items from many different troupes.

I come by maybe once a month to pay the utility bills

so this place won't become entirely abandoned.

What about those things?

Were they always here or were they moved here from elsewhere?

There are many theater items in storage.

The bed and sheets are all props left behind by the troupe.

I think the clothing are also costumes that the troupe didn't want.

Take him to the station for a statement.

Okay.

- Come on. - All right.

Honestly, this scene really is quite beautiful.

But, it's just a bit eerie.

Boss, have you read that Andersen fairy tale?

This scene is an exact replica!

I think it was about a woman who looked as if she were dead.

She slept for over a century in a dark and gloomy castle.

It's scary to be so uncultured.

That's "Sleeping Beauty," a Grimm fairy tale.

Aren't all fairy tales the same?

Officer Bai.

Ms. Ma, I am Bai Jin Xi, the officer in charge of your case.

I have a few questions for you. Is this a good time?

When you went home last night, did you notice anything out of the ordinary?

After I got home, I surfed the net for a while and went to sleep like usual.

How could I have been... been...

Did you notice anything different before you went to bed?

Or were you woken up while you were sleeping?

I think I woke up once but I don't know if it was a dream or not.

I had a very wonderful dream.

However, I woke up halfway through and there was a man on top of me.

I tried to scream and push him away

but I felt a pain in my neck and then I lost consciousness.

Did you see the man's face?

He was so terrifying.

He knocked me out before my eyes could focus.

At the time, I thought I was still dreaming.

It was such a beautiful dream.

Why is it that when I woke up

it turned into a nightmare?

Ms. Ma, you keep saying you were dreaming.

Can you tell me what kind of dream you had?

It was...

It was that kind of dream.

I dreamed that I was sleeping.

I heard the sound of piano music coming from somewhere

and I woke up.

The music seemed to be coming from the closet.

I was curious, so I walked over and opened the closet.

It was so unexpected. It was as if I had traveled to another world.

It was so beautiful, so beautiful.

Yes, it was like a fairy tale world.

I saw plenty of fish swimming all around me.

It was a gorgeous underwater world.

I dreamed that I turned into a beautiful princess.

I had never been so pretty before.

I was adorned in a white gown, lovely hair accessories

and glamorous makeup.

I could not have been more beautiful.

Then, I actually met someone who looked like a prince.

You mean it was an erotic dream.

Then what happened?

Then...

He led me to an enormous castle.

He asked me for a dance.

I don't know how to dance

but I followed his lead, step by step

and I could actually dance!

Later on, he took my hand and led me into a bedroom.

We sat there facing each other.

I was so close to him that I could feel his breath on me.

Do you want to revel in this beautiful dream?

Yes, I do.

Do you like this?

Are you comfortable?

This is the most beautiful dream I'll leave you with.

The dream was so marvelous.

Although it was such a fantasy, it felt so realistic.

I can still remember how I looked dressed like a princess.

I'm sure every woman fantasizes about being a princess.

You're saying the man in your dream was Zhang Zhe Han?

It really was him.

I touched his face and it was Zhang Zhe Han in the flesh.

If it really were him, I would be happy even if he had treated me that way.

However...

How could I possibly have had a one-night stand with my idol?

That man used the image of my idol to deceive me and humiliate me

and even masked it with the illusion of a beautiful dream!

He's so despicable! I hate him! I absolutely won't forgive him!

He was able to immerse the victim in a specific mental state.

How come it sounds a bit like hypnosis?

Boss, where are we going now?

I want to see Xu for the report on the victim's physical examination.

In this age, when there are too many hungry wolves and little prey

rape and sexual assault happen quite frequently.

If all men were like you, the world would be at peace.

Boss, I'm a straight man!

By the way, there's one more thing.

I recently overheard Chief Gu say

there's going to be some hotshot coming to our bureau.

Who is it?

I don't know the details either

but I heard Chief Gu on the phone one day

speaking in a very flattering tone, urging that person to visit the bureau.

He even said something about sharing his experiences.

What kind of backing does this guy have

for Chief Gu to act like he's hit the jackpot?

I really don't know.

But for Chief Gu to be acting so mysterious

it definitely won't be bad news.

Think about it.

Normally, when there's a screw up, he throws us under the bus right away.

I even heard Chief Gu mention you on the phone.

He said something about having that person lead you

and pass on his experiences solving criminal investigation cases.

- That's really what he said? - Of course.

I can deduce that this person must be a senior in criminal investigation

or a genius detective.

How come Chief Gu never thinks of me when he has something good in store?

You?

You look like an amateur. You're already lucky to be following me.

Am I that terrible?

Then show me what you got with this case.

Okay! Just watch me.

[Woman runs into road, sent flying to her death by bus.]

[47 dead in plane crash.]

[Most victims in trampling incident at Bei City shore female students.]

[Jiangcheng Pathology Facility]

Xu.

Jin Xi.

Do you have the physical exam report for the Red Star Theater victim?

- Yes, I have it. - I'd like to take a look.

Your arm is indisposed. Allow me to read it out loud for you.

Here, have a seat.

As always, you're so considerate.

If you don't mind the trouble, then I'd certainly love that.

The victim did not have any wounds as a result of trauma.

There is the appearance of allergic purpura on her left side.

I pulled up her medical records from the past year

from the city's medical system.

Although she is classified as having blood stasis

I believe the recent changing seasons and external factors are not relevant.

On the contrary, the drugs found in her system

that aren't lysergic acid diethylamide or benzodiazepine

are more concerning.

Can you please speak in human words? How can I possibly understand this?

The victim has signs of bruising

but it is not from violence from the suspect.

I believe it was likely induced by drugs injected in her before the assault.

At present, I can only say it is not LSD. I'm still figuring out the specifics.

There was no sperm found in the victim's body.

However, we can be sure there was intercourse.

There were traces of lubricant.

Lubricant? What does that mean?

That indicates the suspect was worried about hurting the victim.

The suspect was surprisingly gentle.

A rapist who would be worried the victim would be hurt?

That's truly unheard of.

There's more.

Although there was no sperm found at the scene

traces of something that we suspect to be semen were found

while inspecting the victim's clothing.

We are still evaluating the sample.

After confirmation, we will compare it to the database

to see if the perpetrator is a past offender.

Who is it?
