[Detective L]

[Episode 2]

[Fresh off the boat : B]

A wife ran away from home

Her husband made a police report to find her

It has no news yet

and she could be dead

Mom

Who's that?

They're here to help you searching for Meng Zhu

I'm Wu Qing Feng, lawyer of Ma's family

Did you bring the search warrant

when you searched Mr. Ma's room?

Nails of woman

What are they trying to cover up?

I didn't kill anyone

The real situation on that night

Mr. Ma wanted to drive his car out

But Mrs. Ma stopped him

To avoid attention from others,

Ma Bo Yuan made a fake report

If I'm not mistaken,

it should be Mrs. Ma's hair

The graveyard is strange Why do we come here?

You'll know it later

Let's go

Is Ma Bo Yuan crazy?

How could he dig his father's grave?

He's not crazy

It's not his father's grave

It's his mother's

empty grave

I got it

She's worried

if her son would not

bury her nicely after her death

So, she bought an empty grave in advanced

But the grave is not empty now

Mrs. Ma is inside the grave

Who's that?

Mr. Ma

Here we meet again

You two

How did you get here?

Did you forget my words during the day?

Mr. Ma, Mrs. Ma was dead, right?

I managed to speculate the location where her corpse was hidden

You'll see her again

tomorrow morning

After you heard what I said,

you'll automatically bring us

to the place where you hid the corpse

Why didn't he

bury it in their garden?

The did bury it in the garden at the beginning

But, due to some carelessness,

they have to move the corpse away

The dog

The sense of smell of a dog

is more advanced than human for a thousand fold

It could smell his master,

so, it's trying to dig the corpse out

I guess your mother

gave you the good idea to hide the corpse here

That's why you came here

3 days ago

Mom

That's

neither a tomb-sweeping day

nor the anniversary of your father's death

You said you came

to worship your father

In fact, your purpose

was moving the corpse to the empty grave

No one will know

the daughter in law

was buried in your mother's grave

You played tricks on me

during the day

Madam Qin

You may arrest him now

Ma Bo Yuan

Let's back to the police station

I didn't kill anyone

I won't go with you

What a swift movement!

Luo Fei

You predicted about everything

Did you predict that he's carrying a gun?

Every one will make a mistake even a smart guy

Let me go

Step back or I'll give you a shot

Ma Bo Yuan

You mistakenly killed Ruan Meng Zhu

But, if you kill us now,

it's a murder

I didn't kill anyone

I'm not going to the jail

Not even one day

Where do you want to go then?

The police will search your house right after this

You'd better go to the police station with us

You just mistakenly murdered

Shut up!

Xiao Man, don't go!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Xiao Man!

Xiao Man!

Quick!

Shoot him!

Me?

With what?

You have a modified

Colt M1911, don't you?

That's for experiment

I never carry firearm when I go out

As a detective,

I solve the cases with my brain

Use your brain to make him stop the car!

You first

Don't worry

With Mr. Ma ability,

he can't run out from Shanghai French Consession

Let's go

Let's take a look at Mrs. Ma

Give me the walking stick

A cheongsam with yellow flowers and crepe-sewing

I didn't kill anyone

I didn't kill anyone

I didn't kill anyone

Take a rest

Take a rest

Oh, my great detective Since you managed to speculate

that we'll ride with Ma Bo Yuan

to the graveyard,

why didn't you speculate that

he'll escape with the car? and we need to walk back to the town?

I never make the speculation

or think about it

Compared to the feeling of contentment,

the pain on the body

is not a big deal

Let's go

This way

You got a wrong way

This way

There's a philosopher said,

a wrong route

will always bring you to the right point

Who is the philosopher?

Me

I didn't kill anyone

I didn't kill anyone

I didn't kill anyone

Meng Zhu

You...

How did you get here?

Through the windows

Don't you know the usage

of the door and windows? I knew

I knocked the door but you didn't open it for me

There's a philosopher said,

a wrong route

will always bring you to the right point

Didn't your mother teach you

that a good girl shouldn't intrude

a man's personal space?

I'm not a good girl

You...

The towel...

I used it to wipe my foot

Why are you here?

According to the initial examination of the coroner,

the time of death was 5 d ays ago

The corpse decomposed badly

Bloated cadaver and the fingerprint couldn't be captured

The cause of death is due to a strong hit by a heavy load

It is matched with the features of a car accident

What about the wearing?

A cheongsam with yellow flowers and crepe-sewing,

golden heels,

a pair of pearl earings,

a green jade bracelet on her right wrist, pink colour ring

and red colour nail polish

It's matched with the statement of the informant

They confirm the deceased is Ruan Meng Zhu

What about Ma Bo Yuan?

The police force found Ma Bo Yuan's car

in Shanghai French Concession He might be panic

and collided with the electric pole

But they didn't see Ma Bo Yuan

The police force has enforced the team

and deployed surveillance at Ma's mansion

He will not go back to his home

We have checked all the hotels and motels

in Shanghai French Consession

No suspicious person

check-in last night

Include Ma Bo Yuan's colleagues

-and friends... -He won't go there

Where will he go?

The answer is almost there

Don't you see it?

Where?

You're a police detective who has a basic speculation skill

Can't you speculate

what's my next action?

Don't think your body is attractive

Are you crazy?

Captain

This was a case 10 years ago

I heard it when I was in the Police Academy

There's a big

and hidden syndicate

was uprooted by a detective

Captain

The head of the syndicate was arrested alive by the detective

Are you

the detective?

It's you

Quickly tell me

How did the Captain

look like?

I heard even his subordinates

have never seen his real look

1 nose and 2 eyes

Just same as you

How did you catch him?

Do you want to arrest Captain

or Ma Bo Yuan? Ma Bo Yuan

You know where is Ma Bo Yuan?

Yes

Let's arrest him

Sure

But, your can't enter the place

with this wearing

I'll get a change

I mean

you can't enter it with all your clothes

What should I wear?

Inhale

-Oh no, almost there -Inhale -Too tight -Inhale

I can't hold it

Hold it

Finally, it's zipped

The gown

was custom-made by John Taylor

At that time, my waist was only 21 inches

It could be easily zipped

When Sullivan was still alive,

he used to call me Little Elf

Luo Fei

You know?

You look alike

my husband, Sullivan

I dreamed of you

last night

You have said it for 25 times

What?

Nothing

Xiao Man

Show it to Luo Fei

Hurry up!

Hurry up come out!

Come on

How about this?

Okay?

Bro

How about this?

Luo Fei

Captain

Aren't you

going out for a date?

Hurry up go for a date

Hurry up!

Luo Fei

Luo Fei

Can you tell me

why should I wear the heels

to arrest the criminal?

You'll know it later

Where are we going to?

When a man comes to a deadlock,

he'll automatically go to a familiar place

To Ma Bo Yuan, where's the familiar and safe

place which open for 24 hours?

Ballroom?

Exactly

Ma Bo Yuan's car hit the electric pole at Praia Road

It's the only road to Paramount Ballroom

It's noisy and joyful

I'm so sorry

Can't you dance?

I went to Police Academy,

not dancing school

You're good at dancing

Anyone taught you before?

Su Su taught mem before

She used to be a famous dancer in Shanghai Beach

Then, she married a rich guy

After the rich guy died,

he left Sullivan Apartment to her

But, there's a murder happened in the apartment

and her business dropped badly

I helped her to solve the case

and she offered me

with cheap rental

Murder?

In my room?

The deceased was hit by the bullet through the window, right?

Your room is clear from murder

I drew the picture for my experiment

What experiment?

We're here to look for a man,

not chatting around

It's crowded

Even if he hides here,

it's hard to find him out

You must learn the method of demarcation,

classification, rule out and filter

I'm sure Ma Bo Yuan

wants to avoid attention from others

So,

rule out the people in the dance floor

dancers,

and live band

What do you see now?

Customers and waiters

Good

Ma Bo Yuan is a drunkard

You should focus on...

I saw him

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Hurry up!

Get out of here!

Hurry up!

Stop!

Get out of the way!

Don't move

You are arrested

Madam Qin

Awesome!

Madam Qin

What he did?

Murder

Hide the corpse

Car crash

Assaulting police

Illegal possession of firearms

Shanghai Night! Shanghai Night!

You are a city that never sleeps

-Look at her -The light...

Are you

the rookie, Madam Qin?

What a nice dress!

But, this is a police station,

not a ballroom

Are you kidding

with us?

You like jokes?

I have a lot of jokes

Let me share with you

Come on

Oh, my famous Detective Ye!

Your client

is a murderer

He murdered his wife

and hid the corpse

And you

sewed up the case

as a normal missing case

Your wearing

made you like a joke

See you

Hot news!

A shooting in Paramount Ballroom!

The chief of the Municipality was angry!

A rich man's wife went missing!

Do you know what's

in the headline today?

A shooting happened in Paramount Ballroom

The public security in Shanghai French Consession is bleak

The news of the shooting in the ballroom

will bring a huge impact

I think the motivation of police force should be

the sense of justice, and not the news created by the reporters

Pardon?

I...

It's all my fault

I'll be more careful

in the next operation

The case was handled by Ye Chang Qing previously

Let him continue it

You help him in the hearing

I help him?

Sir

Two of us solved the case together

He did nothing

and always mess up the things

Now you're asking me to help him

Enough!

Qin Xiao Man

This is your fault

He is the superintendent

No matter how,

you must give him face

Right?

He didn't get angry

When you hit the table again,

you may show your emotion at the same time

It will be better then

I'm lecturing my subordinate

Just cut it out!

I must attend the hearing as well

Don't you see

the doubts in the case?

Oh, I forgot it

You are not good at solving cases

Yes

I don't know how to solve the case

Before you came,

no one could solve the cases here

He is really angry now

We have our rules in the police station

You can't attend the hearing as you like

Alright

I'll leave first

Question him thoroughly

and bring me the hearing record

Sir

Bye

Oh yeah

Now you're going out for investigation

After the case of Ma Bo Yuan,

you may get your pistol at the armoury

You'll need it in the future

Yes

Thank you, sir

See you

What's wrong with my emotion?

I drove slowly

Very slow

I saw it clearly

The cheongsam

was made at Bao Da Xiang

Only one in Shanghai

I tried to get closer

She turned her head

Ghost!

It was Meng Zhu's soul

Are you telling me a ghost story? I'm asking about the incident

on 25th April

I have told you many times

I didn't do it purposely

Tell me the key and details!

What details?

You don't know?

Example, when you drive...

The details

Such as...

For example, your wife

was grabbing the car windows of the right side at that time

Why did you still

drive to the right of the road?

That's my question, say it!

Hello

Who are you looking for?

I'm Ma Bo Yuan's lawyer

I want to bail out my client

and I'm looking for Det Sup Savoy

I stopped the car

and look at it

She was lying on the road

Half of her body was in the bush

Another half was on the road

Her head was at the back of my car

Sir

Stop the session

Mr. Ma

Are you okay?

He was bailed

Why?

Get it done

Hurry up!

Miss Qin

Why are you here?

Have you finished the questioning?

None of your business

What did you tell them?

I said

I didn't do it purposely

Good

You don't have to say anything

Let's go

Stop!

You can't take him away

Due to it's just a light criminal,

he was bailed

He murdered, hid the corpse and assaulted police

Are these light criminals?

The murder was only a car accident

The servant hid the corpse

and he's confessed

My client assaulted you

because you attacked him

Moreover, you didn't show your badge

-I... -Xiao Man

Cut it out!

Sir

We worked so hard to arrest him

How could you release him just because of a piece of paper?

Procedural justice

is more important than the justice in your heart

Take my name card

If you have anything,

you may contact me

Come in

The two pictures...

Ma Bo Yuan

and the wicked lawyer

Let's talk about the case at upstairs

Why did you want to be a police detective?

None of your business

When you're 8 years old,

there're two robbers broke your house

and killed your parents

You hid under the bed and managed to escape

Since that,

you planned to be a police detective

and arrest

the two robbers yourself

Savoy has your information

Not only

the two murderers

I want to bring all the criminals

to justice

So, you got mad

when Ma Bo Yuan was bailed

Although he mistakenly murdered,

but he should be punished according to his crimes

We can't let him stay beyond

the arm of the law just because he's rich

No

I won't let the murderer

evade capture

The case is not as easy

as it seems

Maybe Ma Bo Yuan is not the murderer

He's a victim too

Why did you say that?

He's confessed

He only declared what's in front of our eyes

It may not be the real fact

Did you read the hearing record?

Don't you doubt with it?

What?

First,

why did Ma Bo Yuan

drive to the right

of the road on that night?

Because half of the road

was blocked by the gardener's trolley

This is the doubt

Ma's family terminated all the servants long time ago

They have no money to hire a gardener

The plants in the garden

was never

been trimmed for so long

The second doubt

Come on

Now, I am Ma Bo Yuan

and you are Mrs. Ma

I'm driving and you grab the door

Say something

What?

The script

What would Mrs. Ma say at that time?

I'll go with you

I want to see

who is the homewrecker

Bastard!

Why must you go to the ballroom again?

At this time,

Ma Bo Yuan saw a trolley in front He turned his steering to the right

and Mrs. Ma fell down

Fall down

Stop

Here is the doubt

Mrs. Ma was falling backward

Why was her head

hit by the tyre?

With this position,

it would only break her legs and not head

Why was Mrs. Ma's head badly mutilated

and her legs were just good?

Is this the only record you have?

Have you missed out anything?

I have recorded everything I could

You mean

there's something you didn't record it?

I didn't jot down the nonsense

from Ma Bo Yuan's mouth

What's that?

He said he saw a ghost

Ghost?

When he was driving

on Praia Road last night,

he saw the soul of Mrs. Ma

Then he hit the electric pole

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I...

We came here for 3 times before

What are you looking for?

I found it

How was the wire broken?

From the cut,

I think it was cut by someone

From the oxidation on the surface,

it was cut recently

According to the hearing record,

all the street lights were malfunction

Look at it

The street lights are good in condition

The street lights here

are malfunction

Human eyes need to take some time

to suit itself from bright to dark

Someone cut the wire of the light in purpose

Do you still remember there's a trolley here

when we came here that day?

I guess the man put the trolley here

and caused Ma Bo Yuan

drove to the right side of the road

Why did he do that?

Look

What's that?

Bush

What is the benefit of bush?

To hide a person

Exactly

During the accident,

there's a person hiding here

Why?

To murder

The death of Ruan Meng Zhu

was neither an accident nor committed suicide

It was a well-planned

murder

These are only your speculation

We have no evidence

Come over here

Look

Footprint

A pattern of bottom of men shoes

Size 40

Around 70kg

It's normal to see footprints here

Mrs. Ma is living with bound feet

The servant was wearing canvas shoes

The pattern of Ma Bo Yuan's shoes is different with this

It's...

What are you searching?

I got it

Who?

Ghost

[Preview]

I'm here

to catch a ghost

The key evidence of the case is corpse

and a book

What a coincidence!

The trademark of the bookstore are same

Sir

I found the 3rd person on the scene

during the accident happened

We found a footprint of leather shoes

at the bush of Ma's mansion too

The size and the pattern

are exactly same as yours

When I went to Ma's mansion for the first time, I saw many pictures

of Ma's family on the wall

But, I didn't see Mrs. Ma's picture

No matter what, Ma's family will definitely

find her back for the sake

of their reputation

Luo Fei

What happened?

I have underestimated you

You're trying to kill three birds with a stone
