[Episode 14]

[Serial Arson: B]

Dr. Huo

The serial arson

caused 9 deads so far

If you refuse to help us,

there could be more dead soon

Okay

Let's make a deal first

I can show you the medical record, but only read it here,

can't take it away

Okay

It's all the files of the patients

who are unrelated to the case

I hope you two can keep it a secret

Of course

15 minutes of mental hypnosis?

You can do a hypnosis?

Detective Luo

I'm a PhD in psychology of

Medical University in Vienna, Austria The Municipality has issued me a certificate as well

Hypnosis is making someone to sleep?

It can make a person's consciousness get into a state of relaxation and trance

to build up the subconscious

So we'll know what's in the patient mind

and find the crux of his psychological problem

Are you interested in hypnosis?

There're 12 patients

who have prescribed TSD

Rule out the elderly who have difficulties to move

Elderly

Elderly

Female

There're 8 left

5 of them are having paranoid personalities

They might have criminal tendencies

Who are they?

These three

And this one

That one

Born in a rich family

Apparently, he has no professional technique for arson

And him

He's fat

He wasn't the man who fighted with Xiao Man yesterday

So,

there're only 3 of them left

Let's go

Luo Fei

Well

I'm going to a party on the day after tomorrow

I want to invite Xiao Man

to be my partner

I'm afraid that

she'll reject me

Can you help me

to invite her?

Thanks

[University Hua Tong]

What do you think of Huo Wen Si?

Dr. Huo?

He's smart and clever,

easy going as well

Very good

There's no risk to be a psychologist

There shouldn't be any danger

if you stay with him

Tell me more

about the suspects

Dr. Huo managed to find out 3 suspects for us

[Associate Professor - Chen Shun Chang]

The first one is Prof. Chen Shun Chang

of Chemistry in University Hua Tong

He's proficient in all kinds of chemical

He has delusional disorder of persecution

Always worried about someone hurting him

Fire!

-It's on fire! -Get out!

Quick!

Thank you

-Thank you -Prof. Chen?

Yes

You guys are...

We are police detective

We have a few questions

What?

Where were you around 10pm

last Sunday?

I was watching a movie

What movie?

Blue Angel It hasn't been released yet on Sunday

Yes

I got it wrong

Tender Is The Night

Tender Is The Night

Can anyone prove it?

No

I...

I was watching alone

What do you want to know?

I'm law-abiding

I've never done anything bad

Don't kill me!

I know you were sent by the syndicate I won't divulge your secrets

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go

The second suspect is Du Jin Bao

He's a fireman

He's a sleepwalker

He used to go to the place

where he worked before when he's dreaming

This way please

That's Du Jin Bao

He was the first to arrive at the scene

of the fire last night

and saved 5 people

He made the first class merit

Didn't you guys rush to the scene together

after the fire report was received?

We have limited staff

Besides the on-duty officers, others staff who have heard the alarm

must rush from home

to fight the fire at once

So, he wasn't here when the fire

occurred on Sunday night

He's not here

He off-duty on Sunday

What a coincidence!

There was a fire when he's just off

This...

What do you want to know?

Did he have any unusual moves recently?

Example,

did he say something strange?

You guys

suspect him?

It's outrageous

If you have nothing else,

please leave now

[Artist - Jiang Cheng]

You may have heard of the 3rd suspect

The artist, Jiang Cheng

The modern painter who returned from France

He's having a paranoia

He claimed the doom of the earth is coming soon

A guilty man will suffer in the hell of fire

Hello

We are police detective

There are a few questions

that we want to ask you

Where were you

around 10pm last Sunday?

I was on the road

On the road?

What were you doing?

Finding inspiration

What inspiration?

The inspiration for a fire painting

Don't tell me you're looking for an inspiration to set up fire

Little girl

We don't need to set the fire

Fire is alive

Fire is grand

You can't go near to it

It's a life that you and I don't even know it

My painting

I spent one month for it

You've ruined it

I didn't mean it

That's great

What a nice fist!

Look

It's the God's fist

punching over the sin of the world

It improved the style of the painting

Great

None of them has an alibi and they are facing mental problems

But they have no exact motive for arson

In term of agility,

this guy is feeble

and another one arm was injured

The painter is the most suspicious one

The agility can be fake

as well as the injury

But, one of them is a university professor

Another one is a fireman who made merit

And one is a famous artist

If we can't find any evidence,

it's going to be messed

Unless we have a definite doubt

Or the police station won't issue

the search warrant

So, the next course...

What are you looking at?

Don't touch

The murderer won't

randomly select the target

By getting the connection between the victims,

we should be able to speculate his next target

Do we need to do so much thing?

We have 3 suspects

right now, right?

We just need to keep an eye on their every move

Once anyone of them set on fire,

we could catch them red-handed right away

You're right

But, stalking is the police's job,

not detective

Is there anything I can do for you?

Nothing

I'm a detective anyway

Moreover,

two people working together

will be more efficient than you're working alone

Will two people reading faster than a man doing?

Will two people playing the piano faster than a man doing?

Will two people bathing faster than a man doing?

Nobody wants to take a shower with you

You'd better improve your efficiency We're running out of time

Time

What happened?

[Zheng Yuan]

[Wang Ji Fu]

Luo Fei

Luo Fei

Don't move

You stepped on a victim

What's up?

This

This is the tracking record of the 3 suspects

Today, 3 of them

have no suspicious movement

for a whole day

What about Wang Ji Fu?

Nothing serious

He's discharged

The police have questioned him He said

he doesn't know the arsonist and the victims of the fires either

Don't worry

We've set some men

around his house

However,

he took sick leave

and hid in the house every day

Okay You can go now.

Huo Wen Si wants to invite you

to a party on the day after tomorrow

He wants you to be his partner

When did he tell you?

Why did he ask you to tell me?

I have no idea

Alright

Get out of here

Get out

205 Luo Fei

Excuse me, is this Mr. Luo?

Yes, I am

Mr. Luo, we're sending your goods here

Move in please

What's this?

Luo Fei, are you okay?

Open the door

Are you okay?

I'm okay

I...

I told you I was fine

[Sunday, 30th June]

Come on

Police, don't move

No!

Don't arrest us

I know

A teacher and a student should not...

But I didn't force her

We are on the basis of romantic love

We are on the basis of romantic love

What do you want?

I'm police!

You're suspected to be an arsonist

No, I didn't

I just light up the cigarette

Why did you do that at the doorstep?

Who's there?

What happened?

I'm a police

He is an arsonist

He's trying to set fire

to your doorsteps secretly

You're Xiao Jiang?

You know each other?

Of course

We're waiting for him for Mah-jong

Madam

I'm not here to set the fire,

I'm here

to play Mah-jong

Why are you sneaking around?

Madam, maybe you don't know

He's a famous artist

He managed to sell the painting for

a good price because of his modern image

If anyone knows

he's a layman who likes to play Mah-jong,

it will drag his image

It's my hobby

Please help me

to keep

the secret

Thank you

Sir

Your supper is here

What's the situation?

Nothing happened

I guess the fireman

was in his dream long time ago

I guess he had even put out the fire

and wet the bed either

It's all Luo Fei's fault He wants us to watch it here

So we couldn't rest in the night

Pissed off

What sound?

It's a dropping brick

Maybe a wildcat touched it

Check it out

Sir

Why did the door of the second floor open?

The door opened?

Didn't it open just now?

No

The door didn't open just now

Would he sleepwalk

and went out from the back door?

Go up and see

Open the door

Who's that?

Police!

We're investigating

Shit!

He's not here

What should I do now?

Don't panic

Even if he's really sleepwalking,

it doesn't mean he's an arsonist

Sir

Look at this

Kerosene

Cotton yarn

These are all flammable

Go and check

if his suit is there

Hurry up!

I can't find it

Are these the location of the previous fires?

This is Wang Ji Fu's house

And here

What does it mean?

Gosh!

Something bad is going to happen

Hello Luo Fei

What's wrong?

We could confirm that the arsonist is Du Jin Bao

But we didn't manage to catch him

Do you know the location of arson?

Yeah

At the Grand Cinema

What?

Arson in the cinema?

Wait for a while

It has a night show today

It's going to be thousands of audience there

Yeah

We have sent all the police force

to go around the cinema The fire department has sent out the fire engine in advance as well

So strange

The 3 fires occurred in the residential

Why did he go public this time?

What did you say?

What about Wang Ji Fu's house?

Is there anything unusual?

Nothing

Is there anyone watching over there?

No

All the police are going around the cinema

Gosh!

We've been trapped

Go to Wang Ji Fu's house right now

Quick

Hello, did all the people come out?

I didn't see them coming out

Okay

Be careful

Don't go in there

Okay

Wang Ji Fu!

Wang Ji Fu!

Wang Ji Fu!

Wang Ji Fu!

Wang Ji Fu!

Wang Ji Fu!

-Come with me! -No

Quick!

Wang Ji Fu

Xiao Man

Xiao Man

Sir

A girl just went in there

I don't know what's happening to her

Xiao Man

Are you okay?

Where's Wang Ji Fu?

Miss, it was really dangerous

You should leave it

to the fireman

Thank you

Welcome

-You... -I'm so sorry

This is my job

Come with me to the police station

She shouldn't do that to the man who rescued her

My father was a fireman

A fire occurred in Cheng Huang Temple a few years ago

He sacrificed his life in the fire

to save the people

Now I replace him

to be a fireman

All my colleagues took good care of me

They said I was a son of hero

But I'm afraid of fire

I was hiding at the back

everytime in a fire

Finally,

they all look down on me

They said

I was not brave as my father

The pressure in my heart

is getting bigger and bigger

I can't sleep at night

One morning, I woke up

and found myself in a firefighter suit

I can't remember where I've been

and what I've done

Then,

I saw an advertisement

of a psychologist on the paper

So I went to the clinic

The doctor said

I may have sleepwalking

You have too much pressure

Always worried that you can't do it well

So you even work when you're dreaming

You need a psychotherapy

Forget all your troubles

Feel like you're

floating in the air

After a couple of treatments,

I thought I was alright

and I didn't follow up again

Until one night...

It's on fire!

Help! My boy!

Somebody, please come!

What should I do now?

That day,

I was the first fireman to get to the fire

When I got home,

I suddenly realized

that I was the one who set the fire

I was so scared

I wanted to surrender myself

But I was worried that

it will break my father's reputation

I was afraid the police would come to me

Unexpectedly...

Last night,

you rushed into the fire in spite of the danger

and saved 5 people

You're now our hero

I'll promote you

to be the captain of the first team

-Good! -Great!

You're

brave as your father

So I didn't go to see the doctor again

I didn't surrender myself either

You let yourself set fire in the sleepwalking

4 fires

which killed 10 lives

It's all my fault

I'm guilty

I should be blamed

Why did you

draw a cinema on the map

and burn Wang Ji Fu's house after that?

I really don't know

It's all done in a dream

I'm so sorry to my father

I'm sorry to the fire department

I'm guilty

I should be blamed

Please shoot me

What's up?

Your room is still bright

Because I can't sleep

Can I go in?

You can't sleep, and you drink coffee, huh?

Coffee can dilate our brain vessels

and reduce the breathing frequency

Only after 15-20 minutes,

it will cause an excitement

If you drink it at a right time,

coffee can help you to sleep

Du Jin Bao's confession?

I thought the case was sewed up

Do you really think Du Jin Bao

is the arsonist?

I should be blamed

Please shoot me

But he confessed it

It's not that simple

There's too much doubt about the case

You must have done a lot of

research and study in the week

Tell me what you found

At the beginning, I had the same mind with you

There must be a connection between the victims

After I checked

the information of the victims,

I didn't find anything in common

When my investigation was deadlocked,

your words reminded me

You'd better improve your efficiency

We're running out of time

I suddenly realized that

I made the transverse comparison of

their current status

and forgot the longitudinal time

So I changed the direction

I started to investigate their past

Don't move

You stepped on a victim

Finally,

I found something interesting

In the 4 arson cases, there's a victim who left

their job 10 years ago

included Wang Ji Fu

Here they are

Zhao Da Tong

A senior translator of the Municipality

He's the manager of Richard's Company 10 years ago

Fang Li Bin

An engineer of the New Nanyang Machinery Factory

10 years ago,

he was an engineer at Yong He Machinery Factory

Zheng Yuan

A security guard at the Grand World

10 years ago, he's a security guard in Union Bank of Shanghai

Wang Ji Fu

The editor of the social news section

of Xin Lin Press Publisher

10 years ago, he's a business manager in Union Bank of Shanghai

10 years ago,

4 of them resigned from the old job

almost at the same time

They shifted their home

and changed the address

What does that mean?

There must be something serious happened 10 years ago

Have you checked the news 10 years ago?

No need

Do you still remember? You asked me

is there any unsolved case

When I first worked as a detective 10 years ago

The first strange case that I met

was the diamond theft of Union Bank of Shanghai

The case hasn't been solved yet

It's like a pinion

hiding at somewhere in my brain

Unexpectedly,

it suddenly starts to turn now

You mean the diamond case

is related to 4 of them?

10 years ago,

Charlie Kim, the comprador of Richard's Company

wanted to invest in the real estate of Shanghai Beach

He spent all the saving

in his life

to buy the priceless diamonds

He brought it back to the Shanghai French Concession

and put the diamonds

in the safe in Union Bank of Shanghai, which was known as the safest in the Far East

Unexpectedly, the diamonds

went missing without a trace

in a high-security safe on the next day The police didn't have any clues at that time

Then, Charlie Kim went crazy because

he couldn't stand the huge blow

He then burnt his office

and died in the fire

Among the 4 victims,

one of them was a manager under Charlie Kim

The other two are bank staff

And the last one

looks like nothing to do

with the theft case,

but, actually

he is proficient at all kinds of safes

[Zhao Da Tong, Wang Ji Fu, Zheng Yuan, Wang Li Bin]

These 4 men plotted together to steal the diamonds?

So,

Mr. Jin in Wang Ji Fu's dream

was not the fireman, Du Jin Bao

but the comprador of Richard's Company

Charlie Kim

Wang Ji Fu had a nightmare

because he's afraid the soul

of Mr. Jin will come to him

The arsonist is a man, wasn't a ghost

The real purpose of the killer is...

The priceless diamonds

Now it makes sense

Unfortunately, it's all based on assumption

without any evidence

It's even harder to investigate the unsolved case

which occurred 10 years ago

If you want to find the arsonist,

you must solve the case first

It's getting more interesting

Luo Fei, tell me about it

What's the case you didn't manage

to solve it 10 years ago?

15 minutes have passed

What?

The best time for coffee to help you sleep

Bye

You're so mean
