Tsai Tsai

Yes, Ma'am

Did you prepare the snacks?

Yes, I did

Ms Su and Sir are coming back very soon

I know

Li De

Mr. Chang

I wish I could address you as 'Mr. Chang'

We were going to use my novel

Now again making changes to the script...

Whose idea is it?

Yours? Your wife's? Or the company's?

I didn't give any opinion

Maybe it's hers or the film company's

Why do you need to know?

I'm just wondering

She likes my novel

She hasn't been acting for two years

This is her comeback

She hopes for the movie to be a big hit

Besides, your this novel is gonna be superb

I'm not talking about it

Didn't she know...

about us?

I don't think so

Su Su

Sin Lei

Su Su, how are you?

It has been long time

How've you been keeping?

Not bad, pretty good

Please sit down

Thank you

Su Su

I really need your help this time

I don't know whether my script

... can be used or not?

Don't worry, we'll use it

It's all thanks to you

If I can be successful again

I'll try my best

I'll talk to the director tomorrow

There are a few places in the script

It'll need to change

For example, in the...

Let's talk about it later

Have some refreshments

Please sit down, Su Su

Have some food

We made it ourselves

Try it

Thank you

Have you been busy lately?

Do we see any new novel coming up?

Since I had to make this trip to Hong Kong...

I finished two sequence of long stories

So that's why we didn't hear from you

The sales of your novel in Singapore

Is it better than here?

Yes

Li De

We shouldn't keep on talking business

Two of us

We were talking about work again

I'm afraid that you'll be bored

You're the publisher and she's the novelist

No wonder you'll talk about work

But do you care I'll be bored?

All right, let's eat

Have you taken any photos recently?

Not too often

Except early Sunday morning

I don't think so

He takes interest in portraits

You should show him the developing room

There are all those disaster photos

He said it was art but I was sick of it

Well, what can I do?

Hello, yes. Please wait for a moment

Sin Lei, your call

Don't be formal, Su Su. Have some bread

Hello. Yes, speaking. I know

What? No way

All right, that's OK

I'm very sorry, Su Su

What happened?

I'll have to get back to work

The photographers are waiting

We'll have dinner and the photo-shoot

Please do me a favor, Li De

Take Su Su to dinner and dance

I'll be right back

I've already made the reservation

We'll go tomorrow then

But it's tomorrow

Today first I've to attend to this

Please don't blame me, Su Su

Will you understand?

Yes, I do

Please come back as soon as possible

I will

Having all my appointments cancelled

I'll be with you tomorrow

Three of us

We'll have a lovely Saturday

So tomorrow is Saturday then

What's wrong?

I've photo shooting the day after tomorrow

I'll go to bed early tomorrow night

What a shame!

You do it and I'll be with her tomorrow

But...

Are you afraid that I'll...

Take your famous writer

It's done

You go ahead and talk longer

They are waiting, I have to go

Sure, see you later

I'm sorry

Please do come back, Sin Lei

Of course

Do you think these two can work?

Fantastic!

I want to have one

I'll give it to you tomorrow

Is Sin Lei prettier than before?

Are you talking about her spirit?

I felt that she changed a lot

Yes, she has changed

Since you left

She doesn't go out often

Also she treats me much better

I mean, until sometime back

She's busier making the film

Why did she start again?

She did ask my opinion

I couldn't refuse her

It seems that she didn't know...

anything about us

She...

What's the matter?

Do you remember the letters you sent me?

Did she find out?

No, I was afraid that she might

I burned them

But there is only one letter

I couldn't do it

Reckon you'd have guessed which one !

I do

Then?

I didn't burn it and always kept with me

But I couldn't find it any more

Disappeared?

Yes, I couldn't find it

It has been more than 5 or 6 months

One day we went to a hotel

We were meeting our friend there

We were in the lobby

It was very hot that day

I took off the jacket and left it on the sofa

I saw another friend

We were talking awhile

Our friend came down

I went over to say hello

We were running short of time

We were heading to Repulse Bay

I forgot the jacket totally

I got the jacket back the next day

From the concierge

I lost my wallet

The letter was in the wallet

Someone sent it back two days later

But not with the letter

Three days after

I got a threatening note...

Asking for 5000 dollars

What did you do?

I followed the note and sent the money

But the money was sent back

Without the letter

Is that note still with you?

Yeah sure

He cut the letters from the newspaper

Let me take a look

Li De Chang

Prepare 5000 dollars for the letter

Drop it in Green Bay tomorrow night

Don't involve the police

I couldn't tell what did he want

I paid it but he didn't want the money

I'm worried about it

That's why I wrote to you

And asked you not to reply it

What? Are you going to write a novel?

No, just for reference

Is it OK?

All right

Does Sin Lei know?

Of course not

She loves me and she is very jealous

I can't imagine what she'll do

... if she found out about my affair

We were wrong in the past

But it was over

Let's go shopping

We're going out, Tsai Tsai

It's you

Tsai Tsai

Who told you to come?

It's your boss

She told me to deliver it

Shameless bastard

Are they out?

Are you going to cook dinner?

What should I eat if I don't cook?

Come on, I'll treat you to dinner

Forget about it !

Let's go now

I can't

I'll wait for you 8 o'clock tonight

You'd better be there

I will for sure

Bye

See you tonight

Are you...

Please come in, Doctor Huang

Please come in

Please sit down

Thank you

Please have some tea

Thanks

How are you doing?

Not bad

Did we...

It seems that we met before, right?

When I saw you for the first time

You were Dr. Lu then Dr. Chang

Recently you changed to Dr. Huang

It has been 5 years

I'm happy for you

Oh, how come?

You made it again and again

The police just couldn't find you

But...

Now I remembered

You're the star Ms Sin Lei

I was with Ms Ma

She asked me to go with her

I wasn't a movie star that time

I heard about Ms Ma's case

It hasn't been solved yet

It's just for living, my lady...

I know. Please have a cigarette

Thank you

What can I do for you?

There is one thing that needs your help

How long is it?

It's not about that

Then?

There is a rich woman

She found her husband was cheating on her

She wanted to take revenge

Does she need my help? Sure

Who is...

It's me

How did Ms Ma die?

You should know it

I've set up my mind

Once I have a problem

I knew who I should approach

That will be you

Why?

You're a smart guy

I'll let others know about your secret

If you don't follow my order

But you...

Need some cold water?

No, thanks

Please have some tea

Honestly, I do have a plan

What is your plan?

Are you divorcing him?

I can introduce you a lawyer

You'll get a big settlement

Please listen carefully from the beginning

I met my husband

When I was very famous

He was a successful publisher

He had his own company

He liked taking photos when he was free

It was so easy to get girls

He was such successful businessman

Finally we got married

My career went on the decline

Since we were married

I lost my place in movie industry

Then I sort of retired

The other way to look at it

I ruined my career because of the marriage

I couldn't get back

That's why you hated him

No, not then

Until I found out

He had affair with another writer

I truly hated him

It happened last summer

It didn't take too long

She went back to Singapore

My husband became normal again gradually

I almost forgot about it for a while

It has been a few weeks after

In my husband's pocket

I found a letter

It was from that lady writer

I was speechless after I read it

I don't know what should I do !

There was an opportunity

I took the letter away

In the meantime I prepared a new one

And sent it to my husband

I asked for 5000 dollars...

to redeem the love letter

What do you mean?

I wanted to test him

... whether it's important or not

Do you want to take a look?

No, did he send you the money?

Yes, I don't care about it

I returned the money of course

But I still kept the letter

I went to his office for clues

I knew that lady

She didn't write to him anymore

But I don't know why

I always feel that...

he is not with me

I hope that he'll tell me one day

He'll tell me everything

Then I'll forgive him

Maybe even let them be together

But he didn't do it

It looked like he was waiting

For what?

He's waiting for me to die

Or until I find another lover

You're too dramatic

No, it's possible

Then why don't you divorce?

He doesn't want to give up the fame

I can't let it go if I leave him

I rather get over with it

Do you mean it?

He left me no choice

Are you too suspicious?

Maybe I am

I think he ought to...

tell me the whole thing

No husband...

will be that honest with his wife

... about his affair

I'm a good example

It was because you made up your mind

You rather let your wife find out

She'll fight and demand divorce with you

But my husband won't leave me

He has a lot of investment

Even his lifestyle is simple

He put all his money

Into the company and the factory

He married me because I'm capable

And also that woman

She can make lots of money

He is completely a scrooge

Is it the reason why you hate him?

Do I have any choice but hate him?

A couple of months ago...

I figured out a plan

I told my previous boss

I wanted to act again

Also we'll use the story of that lady

We'll bring her to Hong Kong

My boss accepted my suggestion

She has arrived today

She is with my husband right now

What do you mean?

I want her to attend my husband's funeral

I want you to kill my husband

Ms Sin

No more talking

I know that it's cruel

But I'm nice to you

I've arranged everything for you

No one will know that you've done it

I'll also pay you 50,000 for reward

It only takes you half an hour

You accept it and the money is awaiting

Otherwise you'll go to jail

Are you interested? Dr. Huang

Sparing this half an hour won't matter

There is the door

You can leave if you refuse to do it

What will I have to do if I take it?

The same door will open for you

What do you think?

All right

10:50 p.m tomorrow night

You'll come to my place

I'll leave the key under the door mat

You go straight to my bedroom

after you come in

There is a service bell above the bed

It sounds like the door bell

You press once

The bell will ring

My husband will go to open the door

At that time,

you sneak into the developing room

How about any servant or maid?

Tomorrow night

My husband will be home alone

There is no one else

Here, have a look

This is the photo developing place

You wait here for a while

There'd be no one outside the door

My husband will come back here

It's very dark in this room

He'll never see you

At this moment

You can use the rope or anything else

Strangle his neck

Then?

You sit here and wait

Over here?

You wait for my call

At 11:10

I'll make the phone call from outside

Pick up the phone and say Ms Sin

Don't say anything else

Then hang up the phone

I'll know that...

you've completed your task

Then leave the place

No, there is one more thing

There is a suitcase in the room

I'll leave some jewelries and mink coats

You take it out

Open it and spread the stuff everywhere

I see

You want me pretending to be a thief

The thief couldn't get anything...

and your husband found me

So I kill him

Yes, that's correct

I knew that I found the right person

You'll have $50,000 dollars cash

Don't touch the jewelries

You'll open the glass door

as if the thief is coming from there

You'll be able to leave then

Am I to leave from the front door?

Yes, but listen carefully

It's the most important part

After you get out

You have to put the key back

Under the door mat?

Yes

When will you back?

Around 12:00

I will come home with that lady

We're going to have midnight supper

How would you come in?

I have the key

You key would be under the mat, right !

You can't use it before she...

Relax

That under-the-mat key is my husband's

I got mine

Before the police arrive

I'll put my key back

There are two keys

Right

And your servant...

She comes in from the back door

Tomorrow I'll lock the back door

There wouldn't be any servant tomorrow

Any other questions?

Hello. It's you?

How do you know that I am back?

Oh, they must've told you

I just came back

Did you know Tsai Tsai went out again?

She really pissed me off

I have to fire her

Maybe one day the thief will be here...

And take all our belongings

I don't really want to go out

Su Su is waiting

All right, I'll get changed

What do you thing?

Do you still have any question?

How about the money...

I can't give you now

I'll leave it in the locker of the cafe

Early tomorrow morning

I'll leave a tag

In this vase

You can take it when it's over

Tomorrow night or the day after

You will have the money

How can I trust you?

It has been many years

If you can't trust me

Your law sue...

All right

We've been waiting for a long time

I'm sorry

Come on, cheers

Cheers

Put it away for me

Yes

This is for you

This story...

She's coming

I'm sorry to be late, Su Su

Did you have fun talking?

Yes, we did

We're discussing another story

Great

I'm sorry

Sin Lei, come

This evening a relative of mine...

is coming over. Hence I won't be free

Could we change to tomorrow?

Besides Li De is busy

It's OK without him

I want to talk to you both

He likes to complain

It's hard to concentrate when he is here

I've made the appointment with them

When is your relative coming?

About 7:30

7:30?

Well, let's do this way

I'll pick you up at 8:30 from the hotel

Good if your relative wishes to come along too

That'll be super

You're too kind

Don't you mention about it

Then that's it

I'm sorry, I have to go

Take your time

All right

Don't forget! I'll pick you up at 8:30

Good bye...

I heard the noise and it's you

What's wrong with you?

You scared me

Have you been back for a long time?

Were you developing the photos?

When can you be done?

It still needs a while

Are you going to bed early tonight?

Yes, but there is something wrong

Maybe the chemical is overdue

Do you have new one?

Yes, I'll open another bottle later

Is Su Su coming?

No, I'll pick her up from the hotel

You can bring her

We can have the dinner at home

We'll cook ourselves

We can play Mahjong after dinner

Su Su told me

She likes playing Mahjong very much

I don't think so

I've invited the director and the producer

Besides there isn't any servant around

Also you need to sleep early

We can't send her away

If Su Su likes to stay longer

Are you afraid that I won't take care of her?

Why don't you come along then?

I didn't mean that

Sin Lei...

When are you leaving?

Got to pick her up at 8:30

I'm going out to dinner

When will you be back?

Very soon

Sure

I'll leave after you come back

It's OK, go ahead

No, there is no servant today

I'm kind of worried about the back door

It's not very secure

You go ahead

Please make sure to be back before 8:30

All right

Hello, hi Su Su

Something unexpected has come up

And I'll be late about 30 minutes

Why are you so late?

Are you leaving?

Yes, I'm ready

It's raining. Drive carefully

What's wrong? You're still here

Are you all right?

No problem

I feel as if you are not happy

Me? No

Sin Lei

Did you leave? Sin Lei

I'm checking the lock

I'm leaving. Don't stay up too late

Don't be later than midnight

Hello

Thief! There is a thief! Sin Lei

Li De, Li De

I'm sorry, I have to go

Please take Su Su home for me

Good bye

Li De...

I killed someone, Sin Lei

Let's call the police

Please get up first

Sit here and take a rest

How do you know that he is dead?

Where is he?

In the developing room

Did he die?

He tried to strangle my neck with a rope

I was fighting back

He got scissors

I took it over

I was too nervous, I...

Do you know this guy?

I don't think so

You rest a while

Sit down, just be seated

No need to be nervous

I'll make a phone call

Hello, police station? There is a homicide

It's section 197 in Green Bay

Please send someone here

I told you to take a rest

Why are you out?

I'm all right

It was horrible

I thought that I almost fainted

My hand is still feeling numb

Has the glass door been open all along?

Yes, it is

He must've come in from there

You go in and rest

Please tell me everything

I'll inform the police

When they arrive

I'm very tired. I'll lie down first

Sin Lei

Why did you call me all so suddenly ?

It was because I was in this nightclub

I saw a lady

The dress she wore I liked it very much

I wanted the tailor to make it for me

But I forgot his phone number

I called back

Asking for your help

Hello, speaking

Ok, we'll be here. See you later

Who was it?

A Mr Sheng from the police station

What does he want?

He will be here very soon

He needs to ask us a couple of questions

From last night to this morning

Isn't it enough? Honestly !

Do you want to have some coffee?

Sure

What's on your mind?

I'm just wondering

I had a feeling

What is it?

I was expecting the thief would show up

Why don't we move away...

when everything is over

Yes, I shouldn't fight so hard

Well, it was self-defense

But I killed him

Stay calm

Probably it's Su Su

Please open the door

She'll be shocked to hear that

I've told her already

She called just a while ago

Mr. Chang

You are...

My last name is Sheng from the police

Please come in

Please sit down

Thanks

Ms Sin

Please have some tea. Mr. Sheng

Sorry to bother you! It's still very early

It's all right

Last night

We told Inspector Wang everything

I've read the report

There are a few of details

I need to clarify in person

I heard that your bedroom's bell

It sounds exactly like the door bell

Yes

Mr. Chang

When you came out the dark room

Are you sure that no one is out there?

No

It should be like this

I think...

He came in the bedroom first

Pressed the bell accidentally

Then he saw you came out the dark room

He rushed to hide

When you went to the front door

He sneaked in to your dark room

...from the bedroom

I think so too

What do you think? Mrs. Chang

It must be like that

There is no better explanation

But two things remain unexplained yet

First, this bell is not the regular one

It wouldn't ring unless you press it

Let's assume it's coincidence

Then number two

How can he come through this door?

The back door is locked with chain

Maybe he was from the garden

Were you home? Mrs. Chang

No, I was not home

I saw the glass door was opened

When I came back

It was raining last night

If he was from the window

Through the garden

We would find his foot prints

There's nothing however except...

But Mrs. Chang's foot prints

I saw the glass door was opened

When I came back

I was trying to close it

But it wasn't a good idea

I didn't dare to touch anything

Until you were here

You're absolutely right

But if he didn't come from this door

Where did he come in?

There's no other entrance except front door

The front door?

Are there only two keys for this door?

Yes, one for me and one for her

Have you ever lost it before?

No

I got mine

I mean that have you ever lost it?

Never

Yes

Li De

You did lose it last year?

Last year

You lost your jacket

The key was also in the pocket

Yes, but I got it back the next day

Then it means you have lost it before

This kind of key is very common

It only took half an hour

You can copy another one

Mr. Chang

Did you lose any other stuff?

Some money and a wallet

Is it right?

The person who took your bag

He saw your key and copied a new one

It means that it has been half year

He was planning to steal

To break into your house

It's really strange

We've been searching all over of him

But we couldn't find the key

We heard that your servant left yesterday

Yes

For what reason?

Whenever we step out

She will take off too

I've told her many times

She didn't pay any attention

I fired her yesterday morning

Does she have the front door key ?

No

Please have some coffee

How are you? Sin Lei

Is Mr. Chang all right?

Inspector Sheng, Ms Su

Ms Su

Please sit down

Last night

We went out to have dinner together

Excuse me, Ms Su

Do you by any chance remember the time...

when Ms Sin left to make a phone call

Yes, when the show was over

It was around 11:10

Where did Ms Su stay...

I stayed at the Ritz Hotel

I'm from out of town

Singapore

Yes, how do you know?

Just a lucky guess

Would you write down your home address?

Thank you. What's your occupation...

Ms Su writes detective novels

Then we are sort of in the same profession

Mr. and Mrs. Chang

Would you please come with us?

We need to file a report...

before we go to the court

We need to change

Will you stay with Mr. Sheng? Su Su

Smoke?

A writer doesn't smoke

Do you think it will be solved very soon?

It's hard to tell

It's more complicated because it's homicide

Ms Su, there is one question

Does Mrs. Chang know?

About you and Mr. Chang

What are you talking about?

You wrote a love letter to him

It was from Singapore

We found it on the body of deceased

I'm really not sure...

whether or not Mrs. Chang knew

Why would it be with the victim?

I don't know either

Excuse us. We took such a long time

Mr. Chang

Did you lose a letter...

when you forgot your jacket ?

This letter...

It was found with the victim

Really?

Yes

Was he coming to blackmail you?

No

It only takes time. Inspector

Mr. Chang lost that letter

He received a threat

Su Su

It'll come up anyway

How many times did you meet him?

I've never seen him before

Please be honest! Mr. Chang

When at the police station

You'd better be cooperative

Otherwise it'll be worse

What do you mean?

You're the prime suspect of this murder

What are you saying? It was just self-defence

The evidence is only from your husband

Accused the thief

But we don't have enough proof

Now we've strong evidence on hand

He was blackmailing your husband

It was true. Sin Lei

Blackmailing?

Yes

For what?

You thought that he was from the glass door

But we can prove...

that he came in from the front door

How could he come in through the main door ?

It was locked

There are only two keys, one is...

You opened the door to let him in

While your wife was out...

You wanted to face him along

You mean that my husband asked him over?

But why?

I only can explain like this for now

Maybe we'll understand it later

Did you know that he wanted to strangle me?

It could be anything

I mean when the argument ensued

No, if my husband wanted to kill him...

He wouldn't ask him over

Why not?

Mr. Chang provoked his anger

Using self-defense as excuse to kill him

Li De Chang, I'll have to arrest you now

What is this nonsense?

Li De

Mrs. Chang

Please call your lawyer at once

Don't be afraid! Sin Lei

There is justice

Thank you

Hello, yes. Is this the law firm?

Lawyer Wu please

Hello...Hurry up. It is important

Thanks

David, I'm Sin Lei

Is there any chance?

I don't think so

Sin Lei is pretty pessimistic

Where is Mr. Chen?

Maybe the verdict hasn't been announced

If it's guilty, what will be the sentence?

I'm afraid it won't just be a couple of years

It's really unfair

Li De told me himself

He didn't negotiate with that person

And he didn't have the motive at all

It was my fault

What is it?

Death penalty

Death?

Can we appeal?

Yes, we can

I'm afraid that the chance will be quite slim

How is Sin Lei?

She heard the verdict and took off right away

Poor thing !

But it was totally based on hypothesis

No one has the solid evidence to prove it

And hold the case

There is not a counter-evidence

To refute the previous hypothesis

I'm going out

Is it this one?

I brought the bag

Thank you

Ms Sin

I'm sorry it took so long

It's all right

Ms Sin

The ownerships of the house and the car

I've transferred for you

Thank you so much

And...

Anything else?

May I have the documents, license plate

And also the key?

Good

Thank you. Good bye

Bye

Sin Lei

Please don't hate me

I've called you many times

You wouldn't call me back

The verdict of Li De has been announced

I heard that you're leaving

I have to come to see you

But I have nothing to say to you

I knew but I wanted to help Li De

I think that you've already done enough

Not only him, but me as well

You ruined it for us

Yes

We can help him

If you will cooperate with me

I have a plan to get him out

I know that you hate me

But this is all for Li De

Please be patient

And talk to me

I've tried everything

This is no way to help him

I know

But you've never tried my way

Can you listen to me? Please

Go ahead

You call the police station now

And tell them that you found the suspect

... who hired a murderer

I mean, to kill your husband

Who? Who is the suspect?

You don't need to know

Tell me

Would you like to help your husband?

Of course

Will you even lie for it?

For helping him

Will you?

Then I..

You'll be found guilty

But Li De won't get the death penalty

Will you do it?

It depends on what kind of lies

All right. Let me tell you

There are two criminals behind it

One is me and another one is you

Me? There is no way

Here, this is the scenario

I was in love with your husband

We were writing to each other

I demanded him divorcing you

But he wouldn't

The love turned to hate

I told you everything about us

You sympathise with my situation

Both of us got together and against him

Stop laughing. I'm serious

I told you about the letter

You stole it

Blackmailing him

He mailed the money

I told you to return it

We just kept the letter

Because we were looking at his property

5000 is too little for him to pay

We decided to take revenge

He was not faithful to us

I flew over from Singapore to plan with you

We hired someone

Preparing to kill him that night

In the late afternoon

You let the killer in

After dark

He pressed the bell in the bedroom

When Li De went to open the door

He got into the dark room

As soon as Li De came back

He would kill Li De

But it turned out on the contrary

Then I asked you to do one thing

To put my letter...

into the victim's pocket

It'd look like they had planned

They would negotiate about the letter

It would be the argument for his verdict

According to you

Both of us were killing for love

It should be able to work

We got the motive

But we didn't actually do it

3 or 5 years the most

Li De doesn't need to die

I'll go back to Singapore after the jail time

You can tell Li De the truth

Because of you

He gets a new life

Then we can all live happily ever after

What do you think?

Are you sure that they will believe in us?

I'm a detective novelist

They won't believe me if I tell them

But if you tell this story

They will

Two of the women

One is his wife and another one is...

A lover planned to kill her husband

No... it's impossible

Let's try it. Sin Lei

You have to try it for Li De

Inspector Sheng

Don't let him know that I've come here

What's wrong? Inspector

Is Li De...

He's all right. Don't worry!

Please sit down

Please

The reason I'm here is for three things

First of all, we're sorry

We can't really help with Mr. Chang

This is the law, please understand

Second is his rain coat, lighter

And the wallet are still at the station

You can go to get it

I will get it later

The third thing is :

According to the report

You brought back a leather bag

A leather bag?

Yes, Li De left in the cafe

He sent someone to bring it back

What is there inside the bag?

I don't know either

He told us that there were some documents

Could I please take a look?

Sure

He's still here

I'll talk to you later

I've brought the bag over. You may check it

All his favorite photographs

I'll take your leave

Hope I wouldn't need to bother you hereafter

-Bye -Bye

Inspector Sheng

Mrs. Chang wanted to talk to you

What about?

Maybe this could assist Mr. Chang's case

Yes?

The money

It was from Mrs. Chang's bag

Those photos and documents weren't there

Please explain it. Mrs. Chang

Mr. Chang prepared the money

To pay off the blackmailing

During the trial...

I didn't dare to show it

Now it's all over

I took it out

That's why I didn't want you to see it

I don't think so

What do you think then?

I think that it's the price for the killer

What are you saying?

I mean the murderer is already dead

You don't need to pay him anymore

You have to take the money back

If Mr. Chang would have paid him off...

It would be easy to solve it

He didn't need to kill the victim

Yes

Maybe he asked for more

Mr. Chang got mad

And they started to fight

I can't blame you. Ms Su

You write... and have great imagination

Inspector, before you came over...

she was asking me to tell you the lies

Talking some bullshit about the wife & lover...

conspiring and hiring a contract killer

To kill the one they love

And that man was Mr. Chang

The wife would be me

And the lover would be her

To reverse the verdict

She wanted to help as his lover

... and also my husband then

won't need to face the death penalty

It looks like

It wasn't totally a lie

It was the truth with the wife's part

Except the lover part

Be careful in what you say. Ms Su

Normally

No wife likes to be a widow

Unless she has a different purpose

I'm very busy. Ms Su

Please let yourself out

Don't be mean

Your imagination can't prove anything

There is no way to reverse it with that

Besides it'll just be more trouble

Think about it

If Mr. Chang himself didn't open the door

Could he go into the house?

She meant that I hid the killer

Why couldn't you do it?

You could lend him the key

I used my own key to open the door

When I came back

You can copy another one

But the victim didn't have the key

You could throw it away

You're accusing me

You're a writer. Ms Su

Maybe it's just your imagination

We're not writing a book here

We need the real proof

You can leave the key on the door frame

Or somewhere under the door

It's possible any place outside the door

The killer took the key and opened it

Then he could put it back

You would pick up the same one

When you came home

Get out !

You can't keep me. I'll visit Li De

I'll tell him that you won't save him

You'd better think it over

Please take a seat. Mrs. Chang

I don't blame her. She loves Li De

She wants to save him

But she can't accuse me without reason

I don't want to file the false report

She shouldn't treat me like that

Tell me. Inspector Sheng

If I listen to her...

would anyone believe my words?

No

Could she have gone to see Li De?

I don't think so. Don't worry

Were you going out?

Yes, I need to collect the air-ticket

I'll drop you off

Please don't bother

Did you sell your car?

Please wait for a moment

Anything special?

No

Bring the car back

Yes

Hello, I'm Inspector Sheng

I've arrived at her house

You just follow my plan

Yes, I know. It should be soon

OK

What are you looking for?

I'm looking for their cheque books

I'm checking the money

It was from Li De's account

... or his wife's account

They won't keep the checks here

Presently I'd like you to leave right away

Why?

If you want to save Mr. Chang

Then please leave immediately

It's too late. Come here

You're a detective novelist

I'm the real detective

Please don't be in my way

Stay here

Please don't move and wait

We're about to witness a miracle

Sin Lei

Su Su?

Li De

Su Su, you...

Inspector Sheng

Did you ring the bell?

Yeah

Why didn't you open the door?

You've got your key. You could use it

I did but the lock wouldn't open

The lock has been changed

Please hand me the rain coat and key

Why?

Take this back to the station

... and give to Inspector Wong

Yes

Inspector Sheng, what's going on?

The key you used wasn't yours

Then my...

Be patient. You'll see

What the heck is going on?

Let's take a seat

Did you let him out?

Yes

Why?

Did you sort it out?

Not yet but guess it'd be pretty soon

Please tell me

What is going on?

This is something you'd never have imagined

We suspect your wife is behind the plan

Then my guess was right !

Did you feel anything different?

Sin Lei wouldn't do it

This is what might have happened

I was suspecting Mrs. Chang

Because she called back that night

The reason she called

She was looking for the tailor

I was checking around the tailor

He didn't have a phone

The store will forward to him

I came over here

I wanted to see on your phone book

Whether there is the store number or not

On my way to court this morning

I took your key to the station

I would like continuing my investigation

But the key couldn't open the door

Then...

Quiet. Come with me

Hello...I'm Inspector Sheng

If Mrs. Chang comes over

And picks up her husband's stuff

Please give her one by one

The most important is letting her know

No one touch the key

Call me back right away

When she leaves

Please don't touch it

Let's go in and talk

What do you mean?

It's very simple

I found out this morning

Ms Su's theory

It sort of coincides with mine

Me?

Mr. Chang's key is under the door mat

Mr. Chang

Since that night after you had dinner

... you haven't used it, right?

Yes

Your wife left the key under the door mat

The killer could use it

Whatever took place that night...

was according to Mrs. Chang's plan

Everything is OK

Except one thing

Mrs. Chang told him to leave the key

... after he killed you

However he didn't

Whatever he did...

happened as per Ms Su's theory

He opened the door

He put the key back right away

Then he walked in

When Mrs. Chang came back

She found a key

... in the victim's pocket

She thought that it belonged to Mr. Chang

She got the key

And put in Mr. Chang's key chain at once

She didn't know the key she got...

It actually belonged to the victim

The worse part was Mr. Chang's key

It was still under the door mat

Why did you bring me back?

I'm sorry, Mr. Chang

I can't prove it

You have to do it yourself

It's hard for me to decide

Whether you know it or not...

there is a key under the door mat

I'm taking a great risk

It would be different

If you knew it

It looked like that you had no idea

Also it means that you are not guilty

The possibility of your wife is higher

Hello, speaking

Yes...OK

Your wife took the key and is headed back

We'll find out the answer

If she can't open the door

She'll know there is something wrong

And she'll look for the key under the door

The truth will be out

Maybe not?

That's why we need to take a risk

But she is very smart

She should know it

Perhaps just a few minutes more

Be careful. She is coming !

It's you !!

Sin Lei...

I loved you but you were unfaithful

You owe me an apology !

Hello, Inspector Sheng here

Please send an ambulance. Hurry up

What she wrote on the mirror was true

Although she wanted to kill you

But it wasn't all her fault

I'd say the tragedy occurred...

because of your affair

The case is over

Let's take a seat outside
