For about a year or so.

How did he die?

I don't know.

Anyway, he was buried quickly.

The old widower had no family.

It's said that he was not
well-liked in the village.

By the way,

some people claimed to see Xia Ru'an

running out of his room

before he died.

Then she left the village.

Later, Xia Ru'an

worked and studied in Fengtian for a while.

The old widower also died.

After that, she was kicked
out by the boss's wife.

When she was kicked out,

the boss's wife said

the clothes Xia was
wearing were from her family,

so she stripped Xia naked
and threw her out into the street.

This was a very ugly thing.

So she probably couldn't
stay in Fengtian anymore

and she came to Harbin.

If you need money,

you can cheat me.

I can give you much more than this.

But strangely,

was indeed funded by Fengtian Press.

Xia Ru'an

changes her job every once in a while.

Her reason is

to take care of her sick mother.

But I've asked her neighbors back home.

Her mother passed away a long time ago.

Where else had she worked before?

The Rokko iron ore mine,

Cologne Brewery,

and the Nakamori Bank.

She worked as a secretary or something.

Why did you kill so many people

every time she left,

theft or the disappearance
of important shareholders

would be reported in these companies.

Do you know the cause
of her mother's death?

I heard it was very serious rheumatism.

The family was penniless
at the time of her death.

Even the money for the burial

was offered by an old
widower in the village.

But right after she was buried,

the old widower forced Xia
Ru'an to pay the debt with her body.

Within a few days,

I'd rather say

I've doubted everyone.

I never thought it was you.

It was my oversight

that killed Tao Zhiling.

No.

It was Tao Zhiling who took her own life.

She saw me kill Lin Jie.

Then why didn't she say anything?

She just tried to use this

to blackmail me.

So

Instead of saying that I killed her,

I've never doubted you.

She was killed by her greed.

We don't need a perfect victim.

We only need to punish the perpetrators.

From Fan Lihua's point of view,

she was also right to kill Luo Jinyan.

Why can't you wake yourself up

with what you said to her at that time?

Do you think…

Do you think…

You think if I don't kill them,

they will let me go?

You didn't earn this.

For so little money?

So little money?

Mr. Luo,

do you know how much this is?

It's more than an ordinary family

can spend in their lifetime.

I got it on my merit.

That's my money.

You're rich because of
your father, aren't you?

You can't even be a good cop

if it weren't for him.

The newspaper that Xia Ru'an worked for

You are not capable at all.

You have no right to criticize him,

because he has never

sacrificed others to achieve his goal.

Whether it's when he's at his best

or when he's most lost,

he has never shirked

the responsibility he should take.

He is sincere to you.

But you

only treat him as a handy tool.

That I've only been out
of school for a few days,

We'll take care of the rest.

I don't care what you two say.

What's next?

I'll explain it to you later.

Let's get the men first.

You scared me.

It's you, Miss. Zhou.

Of course, it's me.

Who else could it be?

I thought it was Inspector Luo.

He's been looking for me every day.

I didn't expect either

get out of there.

And something so big has happened.

Thank you for your hard work these days.

Is there anything I can help you with?

No, it's fine.

Anyway,

the board will decide on a
new principal next month.

I just have to make it through the month.

What are you doing with the violin?

It's not my violin.

It's Ye Zhenzhen's.

It can't be tuned right.

That's why I don't want
you to risk going back.

I asked Liu about it.

His answer

totally startled me.

Forget it, I didn't make
myself clear yesterday.

You guys can send me back.

No, it's too dangerous.

That's why

I have to be sent back.

If we don't find out who did this,

I wonder how many more people she'll kill.

You already know who the killer is?

It's a guess.

I thought I'd have someone else do it.

Translated, you don't
have any evidence yet.

That's why you should send me back.

Wait, what are you talking about?

It means you have to regret

sending Jingxuan away.

You just can't treat me nicely.

I think I should go back,

so that the killer can be lured out.

What do you think?

Yeah.

If she does take the bait,

I've checked this.

Wait.

It's three, I think.

Ye Zhenzhen's uncle is missing.

You have something
to do with this, too, right?

It's four.

Why didn't you wait for us to get here?

You were too slow.

Why you?

Do you remember that she said

she came back to take care of her mother?

You came this year too?

That's right.

For the money that doesn't belong to you.

Secretary Xia worked at
a newspaper in Fengtian

as a proofreader.

Then she came back to
take care of her mother.

She wanted to find a
secure job close to home.

And at the time of the murder,

she was with me.

She always had a purpose in every job.

After completing her goal,

she would leave on the pretext
of taking care of her mother.

She came to the girls' school

this time for the money.

Okay, I'll see you in front of the school.

Why don't you go this afternoon?

It's already noon.

We can have lunch together.

No need.

I'm on a diet lately.

You'll have more energy to
lose weight when you're full.

Go with me.

I want to talk to you

about what happened
in the past several days.

Okay, then let's dine together.

Wait for me to put the
violin back in the dormitory.

Liang Kun worked at the Fengtian Press

Okay.

Secretary Xia,

what are you doing?

You did it on purpose.

Where are the jewels inside?

Can you take

the blood-stained jewels?

That's my money.

It's not your money.

It's the money of the
owner of Fengtian Press.

You even killed two people

I shouldn't have become a cop.

But then again,

Ms. Li is really nice.

She's very nice to her students.

She's also good to us.

You arranged for her to escape, right?

I asked Jin Qiming to
make her hide for a while,

in case the killer turned on her.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's not a big deal.

I see.

You must think

I can't find it out, right?

It's called privacy.

I didn't expect you'd take it seriously

in the case of detecting.

I'm not taking it seriously

in the case of force, am I?

When people are pointing guns at me,

I can only count on you.

Mr. Luo, you can trust me.

You're definitely more talented than Situ

in handling a case.

What talent?

You can precisely fall
in love with the murderer

But after I arrived,

Our marriage lasted five years.

I was already exhausted.

Luckily…

Luckily, I met him later in the journey.

I could feel

that he really liked me.

He appreciated me.

But

he already had a wife and children.

And I'm married too.

So you went to Fengtian to see that person?

That's right.

Among the suspects.

I found out his wife

had given him another child.

So I had to leave.

Ms. Li,

I respect you.

I'll keep this matter a secret for you.

But there is something
I want to say to you.

Only you are the light in your life.

It's not a shame for her to borrow money.

Why didn't she say so?

Do you know what privacy means?

You should try it too.

The dead man, Molly.

The bullet broke the
skull from the right temple,

which caused his death.

His hand showed signs
of a reaction to the smoke.

It does match the
characteristics of suicide.

Combined with He Wannian's confession,

Molly should have shot himself

between 12:30 and 1:00.

Molly?

Why not?

This is the specialty
of Jasmine restaurant.

You can't get it anywhere else.

Come with me.

Suicide?

Liang, come with me over here.

Are we going to be okay?

Is this the way it's supposed to be?

No one has touched it?

I don't think so.

Let me ask.

It was like that in the back
kitchen when you came here?

It was.

No one has touched it?

No.

Guys,

Zhou Mowan, I thought
I just saved your life.

I'm just kidding.

I meant what I said to Xia Ru'an just now.

There's no need for you

to deny yourself because of others.

You can't solve the case

without me.

But would you be a
police officer without me?

You should've been

a rising business tycoon in Harbin.

That's a good comfort.

Was my respected status as
a teacher in the girls' school.

The case is solved, right?

Liu,

what's this pile?

Bao brought it over.

He said it's the file you
wanted from Fengtian.

I've solved the case
and now it's sent here.

Send it back.

Bao's out on the force.

Where did he go?

Jasmine Restaurant.

They said a man died.

To cover up her cruelty.

Please.

Yeah.

Tell that to the judge.

Okay.

Mr. Luo,

you're a good man.

I'm sorry to you.

I'm willing to go with you to the
police station and turn myself in.

I unloaded all the bullets just now.

Actually

Xia Ru'an is also quite pathetic.

She's just using some tragic past

Can you give me one more chance?

She's brought misfortune to more people

because of her misfortune.

The press owner's son lost his father.

Ye Zhenzhen lost her uncle.

Lin Jie's family lost their daughter.

Too many people.

What about Li Pei?

Li Pei is clean.

She did go to Fengtian.

But for some reason,

she couldn't tell us.

The dog-eat-dog stuff anymore.

As an assistant for so many years.

He could kill his master
he'd served for 10 years

for money.

Do you think he can

share the money peacefully with me?

It's all my idea of

how to get the money

and how to get the money out of Fengtian

through the hands of Ye Zhenzhen's uncle.

I did it…

I did it because of his selfishness.

Don't talk about

Do you have a moment, Ms. Li?

He's a murderer.

You are too.

No.

I'm not.

I was forced.

I was forced.

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you.

Please.

Can you give me one more chance?

Please.

He is the light of my life.

Everyone has secrets.

But now lives are at stake.

If you don't want to talk about it,

next time you can only explain it

to the police and the media.

Mr. Situ,

have you ever been married?

No.

How nice.

If you've never been
married, you wouldn't know

how desperate life can be

to marry someone who doesn't love you.

Ms. Li, I know

I only feel alive

around him.

I was born unattractive when I was a child.

I was always taught

to be gentle, kind, and generous.

But no boy has ever liked me.

Then my family introduced someone to me.

They said

as long as the man was willing to marry me,

I should be grateful.

But what that man saw in me

The murderer went to
Fengtian to do something

I'd like to talk to you.

About Fengtian.

You suspect that I killed Tao Zhiling.

Why did you hide your visit to Fengtian?

I've never been there.

No.

I've never been to Fengtian.

But your students

saw you in Fengtian.

Mr. Situ,

why does going to Fengtian
mean I'm the murderer?

It's a good thing I kept an eye out.

And returned to Harbin

to track down some stuff.

Lin Jie was killed

because she broke into this.

And during the crime, Tao Zhiling

saw her blackmailing the murderer.

So she was also killed.

I did hide it, but...

I didn't kill anyone.

If you had killed someone,

I wouldn't be the one talking to you now.

You know what?

Do they look like girls?

Seven years ago,

the girl committed suicide.

She was the daughter of a prince.

But she had to marry a
man who had no shame.

Who caused this?

Who caused this?

Luo Jinyan!

Luo Jinyan deserves to die.

I should kill her.

I really can't let her

harm these girls.

Look at these girls nowadays,

You know what?

Principal Fan.

I shouldn't have let her harm these girls.

Principal Fan,

what are these girls?

Do they only deserve to raise
their children in the family?

We are no worse than men.

We are not inferior to men.

Besides, the era of suppressing women

has already passed.

What you're doing

And that Lin Jie too.

The reason I started the school

was to raise these girls

to be educated and virtuous in the family.

You know what?

In the past, all the kids
graduated from our girls' school

were known as fair ladies.

But look at them now.

Look at them now.

After Luo Jinyan's arrival,

it's been a mess here.

It's been a mess here!

What kind of crap did she teach?

Is not teaching these girls.

She said she was
teaching the so-called music.

Is that music?

She's totally teaching these girls

to giggle and flirt in front of people.

Shame on her!

Principal Fan,

that's too radical.

Actually, education...

Don't talk to me about education.

I've been teaching and
educating people for 30 years.

I know what education is!

Mr. Luo.

It is you who are wrong.

It is you.

It's all of you

who ruined this school.

You…

Young and talented.

I knew it.

There's no case that you can't solve,

Barrister. Situ.

Of course.

Mr. Luo also helped with this.

That's not what you just said.

I'm not wrong.

You're kind-hearted.

I meant to take both of them back.

They'd confess

upon torture.

See, he had to ask for evidence.

I always say the future is yours.

It's yours.

Well, I'll go back first

to report this to the director.

You take care of the rest.

I'm leaving.

It's you, restless people.

You're harming them, Principal Fan.

Wake up, Principal Fan.

What did you say?

You should wake up!

You know what?

All my education is about this book.

This book has been
proven right for 2,000 years

by our ancestors.

Are these theories wrong?

Are they?

It's not these theories that are wrong.

Was founded by me.

You know?

If education doesn't
keep up with the times,

what's the difference
between that and shackles?

What you can't accept

is not new learning at all.

What you can't accept

is that you've been abandoned by the times.

You appear to be obedient and gentle.

But in fact, you are

a devil hiding in the shadows.

I'm not wrong.

What should we do now?

Never heard of it.

I found it in her bag.

That's why.

So what you're saying is

Tao Zhiling really saw the murderer

on the night of the murder?

Do you remember your servant Fang Hong?

Tao Zhiling lived a life of luxury,

because extortion is easy money.

She wanted to

tell the murderer she saw him through you.

We can't explain it to
the superior this way.

Does she have other sources of income?

Should we arrest someone first?

Who?

What are you looking for?

This is blood.

This is the murder weapon used
by Fan Lihua to kill Luo Jinyan.

It's Fan Lihua?

She said it herself.

She said

she saw a light in the music classroom

and went to check it out.

I don't understand.

Li Pei.

The deceased Tao Zhiling

was shot in the head

and through the skull.

The bullet trajectory and the pistol

are consistent with that
of Lin Jie's murder case.

It can be concluded that
it is the same weapon.

The time of death was two hours ago.

By the way,

some bruises can be
seen on the victim's body.

She should have fought
with someone before she died.

Tao Zhiling is dead.

Now the only suspect left is Li Pei.

Then she said

Liu, come here.

Boss.

Li Pei was checking in students
leaving the school at the entrance

two hours ago.

Who is it?

Let's go check it out.

I see, she has spent all her money here.

Secretary Xia.

How much does Tao Zhiling get paid a month?

Sixty yuan a month.

Other than that,

Lock me up.

Look for it.

We have to find all the clues.

I'm the principal. I'm the principal.

I thought I'd be happy after I killed her.

But...

But I...

I couldn't sleep all day.

I was anxious all the time.

I couldn't even close my eyes.

I'm begging you.

Take me in.

I beg you.

If the police come later.

Please lock me up.

Okay?

Principal Fan, Principal Fan, get up.

Luo Jinyan is too strong.

She wants to take charge of everything.

She even wants to know
the reason for a murder case.

But why did you kill Luo Jinyan?

I think

it was for her ideal school.

I...

This whole school

I did it in a moment of madness.

She grabbed a wooden
stick to defend herself.

But the stick was by the door, wasn't it?

Luo Jinyan asked Zhao
Qiansun for the stick,

because her table was broken

and she needed a new table leg.

But after the crime,

the stick wasn't in Luo Jinyan's dormitory.

Instead, it was found
in the music classroom.

I knew

I couldn't hide it from you.

I killed Luo Jinyan.

He contributes nothing to this case,

You're just in time.

Let's see if there are any clues

in the other lockers.

Lin Jie must have found something.

I just wonder whose locker it's hidden in.

Get moving.

Why are you still standing there?

Okay.

You just can't do anything right.

You're so submissive in everything.

No one knows what they'll do

This is Principal Van.

As sketches.

But with a different costume.

Put on short hair, a hat,

and glasses.

Your friend doesn't have
a special fetish, does he?

No, he's a detective.

Okay, okay.

Let's sit over there.

Is this it?

Short hair, hat, glasses.

Just as Zhenzhen described.

Let's go find Ye Zhenzhen.

I want you to draw these pictures

This is Secretary Ha.

This is Ms. Li.

And this is Ms. Tao.

Look.

Among these four people,

which one is more like the person
who gave you the violin that day?

None of them?

They look alike,

yet differently too.

Have you seen any of them in Fengtian?

Fengtian?

I want Ye Zhenzhen to double-check

I thought you'd stay here with Mrs. Shen

until the case is solved.

Do you have time tomorrow?

It's up to you, isn't it?

The school won't resume

and I won't go back to school

unless you solve the case.

Then draw me some pictures.

I'm a music teacher.

I know.

What do you want to draw?

A couple of portraits.

Did you see her in Fengtian?

The guy who sent the violin.

I know someone

who is good at portraits.

I'll take you to him tomorrow.

You really can't do it?

I can't.

It's right there.

Miss. Zhou.

Sir.

You come for another portrait?

This time it's not me, it's my friend.

Since you asked her yesterday.

They are two cases.

Two cases?

Investigate a few more people for me.

The background of these
teachers at the girls' school.

I have investigated Li Pei.

Since she's a prime suspect,

I checked it out.

Situ Yan.

Li Pei is missing.

You lost her again?

Let's go inside. It's too cold.

She hasn't been seen

out of jealousy of the vice principal.

My men thought the case was solved

now that Fan Lihua was arrested.

So they withdrew themselves

without my permission.

When I tried to find her this morning,

she had disappeared.

Since your men have all withdrawn,

how did you know?

Xia Ru'an said it when she
came over to take a statement.

She said she couldn't find Li Pei

and thought she'd gone home.

Situ, it's that way.

I'm not sure.

She looks and doesn't
look alike at the same time.

Miss. Zhou, you know

I'm not very good at recognizing faces.

Think about it again.

Think it over.

She looks more beautiful than Ms. Li,

but she looks like her too.

Have you been to Fengtian?

No, I haven't.

Excuse me.

In the future?

You go back first. I have to
go to the newspaper office.

Okay.

Situ,

this is the file of the girls'
school case I checked.

But the case is closed now.

Do we still need it?

It's a different story.

The killer used the rumor of haunting

to keep people away from the music room.

Lin Jie was murdered
because she ran into the killer.

I thought the principal did it

Wait a minute.

Have you thought about

the job change I mentioned to you before?

Inspector Luo,

I appreciate your kindness.

But I have my plans.

Thank you both for your hard work today.

I have to write a report on this

to the council.

I'll go back first.

Jingxuan is so nice to you.

Why did you come here for cold shoulders?

What are you talking about?

It's such a mess.

Didn't you say the murderer
was coming for the jewel?

Yes.

Fan Lihua hasn't
mentioned it the whole way.

That's right.

Then why did Fan Lihua kill Lin Jie?

Who said that Fan Lihua killed Lin Jie?

So this case isn't over?

Who said that the case is over?

Fan Lihua killed Luo Jinyan.

But she didn't kill Lin Jie.

Then who killed Lin Jie?

In your opinion,

yet is faster than
anyone to receive credit.

How many years has he been a cop?

You've only been a cop for a few days.

How can you act the same?

Oh, come on.

You can't bear the most

Fan Lihua's feudal and
superstitious thinking.

Why didn't you refute her?

Because for people like Fan Lihua,

the more opposing voices,

the more she can be sure of

the rightness of her actions.

I'm still investigating.

She wants to imprison humanity and freedom.

But in her mind,

it's a kind of devotional

self-motivation.

I didn't expect

Principal Fan, who was
always gentle and kind,

would do this.

Once she's obsessed with something,

she can hardly get out.

Two principals.

One killed and the other was killed.

You talk as if you have
high emotional intelligence.

Go home?

To get embarrassed with my aunt?

Where's Jingxuan?

She went to Beijing.

She really did?

She really did.

She said she was going to study.

I think it's a good thing.

She and her mother can take care
of our family together in the future.

So I let her go.

You don't have much emotional intelligence.

I don't even know how
they get along with you.

Instead of going home?

Where to go?

Home.

You're back?

Why don't you go upstairs to bed?

Have you solved your case yet?

Almost.

Have you eaten yet?

Yeah.

Then I'm going to bed.

You don't have to
wait for me in the future.

I'll let you know if anything happens.

You didn't come to me earlier either.

Wait for me to sort it out.

In other words,

Luo Jinyan being killed

has nothing to do with me
not finding the murderer.

Is that right?

To be precise,

these are two cases that
happened in the same place.

Great.

I haven't slept a wink

because of it.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Wait a second.

To make it up to me,

you have to go somewhere with me.

Where to?

You'll know when you get there.

I'm not going. I'm going home.

Don't worry.

I'm sure you'll like it.

Why don't you change your clothes?

Hurry up and get changed.

You come here to spend time
