[Episode 2]

[To Jiang Shuo]

[Liu Zhi]

[Jiang Shuo,]

[you don't have to wonder who I am.]

[You don't need to know who I am.]

[I'm just one who brings you customers.]

[I have three land leases here.]

[As long as you sell them to the three designated persons,]

[the money is yours.]

[Liu Zhi]

[The friend you have forgotten,]

[Liu Zhi.]

[Shi Yue Shi Si]

[Psych Hunter]

[Zhang Meng's memorial tablet]

[Xiang's memorial tablet]

[Liu Xin's memorial tablet]

[Jiang Shuo's memorial tablet]

You must be Jiang Shuo.

I'm here to save you.

Save me?

Come with me.

How are we getting down from this height?

Jump.

All right.

Buddy, thank you for your help.

I owe you a favour.

I'm running out of time.

I must save myself first. Take care.

Wait.

There are police there.

Thank you.

[Xinma Road]

Where was Jiang Shuo kept?

Sir,

he was locked up in

jail.

How could you lose him when he's locked up in jail?

Are you all useless?

-Are you? -Yes!

Find him!

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Where is Yuan Mu Qing?

She's with Dr Qin.

They're interrogating the two who reported Liu Xin's case.

Dr Qin wanted to understand the case.

Who let her do that?

She's out of line!

How many days has she been here?

She thinks this is her house?

How dare she?

This is a police station!

Sir.

You're back, miss.

How did it go?

We didn't catch Jiang Shuo.

Leave it to me.

Don't worry.

Jiang Shuo may not be the murderer.

What do you mean?

These are some evidence we found

while chasing Jiang Shuo.

-Evidence? -That's right.

Thanks to Officer Yuan,

I've understood the case better

and I've sorted facts out.

The first victim, Zhang Meng.

[Zhang Meng's memorial tablet]

Male, 23 years old, lived alone.

On August 25th,

someone realised he hung himself.

[The autopsy showed that he was strangled to death.]

[The hanging was merely a disguise.]

Before he died,

he bought a residence

at a cheap price

from Jiang Shuo.

The second victim,

[Xiang's memorial tablet]

Xiang, also bought a residence

[Bo'ai Lane, No. 121]

at a cheap price.

[His good friend, Liu Xin,]

had been staying with him at his place.

On the night of September 4th,

Liu Xin witnessed

[Xiang being attacked.]

[He did not help as he was too afraid.]

On September 5th,

Liu Xin reported the case that

[Xiang was murdered.]

On September 7th,

which was yesterday,

[Liu Xin who was running from the raincoat murderer,]

[just bought a residence from Jiang Shuo.]

[He died not long after.]

The three victims,

Zhang Meng, Xiang and Liu Xin,

all have two similarities.

First,

they bought their residences

from Jiang Shuo.

Second,

all three of them knew one another.

They were all unemployed.

What's unsettling is that

the murderer made tablets for all three of them.

All three of them died at

the exact time written on the tablets.

[Zhang Meng, August 25]

[Xiang, September 4]

[Liu Xin, September 7]

The murderer even made an extra tablet.

[Jiang Shuo's memorial tablet]

You mean

the fourth victim is

Jiang Shuo?

That's possible.

However,

the time written on the tablet

is October 15th.

[October 15]

But today,

he was attacked

and nearly died.

Who wants

the four of them dead?

We're not sure about that for now.

What's clear for now is that

the four of them

are all related to one person.

Who is that?

The original owner of the three residences.

Mr Liu Zhi.

[Liu Zhi]

Liu Zhi?

Liu Zhi.

[Mr Qin,]

[your father is in my hands.]

[Do you want him to live?]

[Changshan's tycoon disappears mysteriously overnight]

[Jiang Shuo]

[Jiang Shuo]

[is your only clue.]

[Liu Zhi]

[Liu Zhi.]

You are...

Sorry for disturbing.

I

was just passing by

but realised dark clouds have gathered

over the entire street.

It seemed as if something bad had happen.

This is a fair warning.

You should be careful.

Master!

You are right!

Someone died on this street last night.

You're a psychic!

Please help to break this ill luck.

There are several methods

to lift the curse.

However, I need...

What is it? Please tell me.

I just need to know

who was the original owner

of the victim's residence.

Master,

that residence

brings bad luck!

It was previously occupied by the Wang family from Chengxi.

However, someone died

and no one has ever lived there since.

[The Wang family from Chengxi?]

I don't know anything. Ask someone else!

May I ask about the place at Taiping Lane, No. 28?

I don't know anything.

-It's a jinx. -Granny...

How is it going?

Sir,

I've got nothing.

No clues from Xinxing Lane and Bo'ai Lane either.

Interesting.

In that case...

[Home owner is Chengxi's Wang Family]

The Wang family from Chengxi.

They're an influential family.

They own countless properties.

-Let's visit the Wang family. -All right.

Thank you.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Please come in.

-Congratulations. -You came.

Congratulations.

The Wang family is large.

They've held a banquet for seven days

just for Mr Wang's birthday.

The celebration is so grand.

They even invited a monk

to pray for him for 49 days.

This show will go on

for seven days and nights without end.

Mr Wang is a famous

philanthropist in Changshan.

He donates food to the poor all year.

He even donated the Buddha statue

in the temple we have now.

Master.

Didn't I tell you that

nobody shall disturb while I'm brewing something?

Greetings, Master.

Two police officers would like to meet you.

They say it's urgent.

The police?

My dear officers,

I've just informed Master Wang about your request.

However, Master is not feeling well today.

He can't greet guests.

Please allow me to pass

your message to him.

I see.

There's something we

would like to find out more about.

Please cooperate with us.

I offer my full cooperation.

I'll tell you everything I know.

Please follow me to the inner court.

Please.

This way please.

What's this about?

You may not have heard.

Master's wife fell ill two years ago.

She never recovered.

She passed away recently.

This coincided with Master's upcoming birthday.

So, we decided to hold both ceremonies together.

Please accept my condolences.

There is one thing I don't understand.

If his wife just passed away,

why would Master Wang still celebrate his birthday?

What's the logic behind this?

Master Wang appreciates the gift of life.

Although he is deeply saddened

by his wife's death,

a birthday celebration brings luck.

It still has to be celebrated.

Zhang,

Master asked you to inspect the windows in the backyard.

You may go after that.

Who was that?

He's our in-house carpenter, Zhang.

He has a sad story.

He had an intelligent daughter.

When he was finally able to enjoy life,

who knew,

his daughter died in an accident.

No wonder he looked so down.

Please.

This way, please.

Why is this here?

This piece?

This was left behind by our Master's great-grandfather.

It's been here for a while.

He can be quite superstitious

and takes an interest in feng shui

and the layout of things.

This piece

is one of his favourites.

Recently, there have been a few murder cases.

The victims all

died after purchasing a home.

The original owner of these buildings was Liu Zhi.

We suspect that these

three cases are related to him.

Officer,

I don't quite

understand what you're talking about.

The three residences are located at

Taiping Lane, No. 28,

Bo'ai Lane, No. 121 and

Xinxing Lane, No. 9.

These belonged to the Wang family originally.

Officer,

the Wang family is an influential family.

They own a lot of properties.

Please allow me some time to

look into the addresses you mentioned earlier.

Please wait a moment.

I'll make arrangements for dinner.

Please.

[I should visit the two crime scenes.]

The two roads intersect at the door.

Isn't this considered a scissors door?

It brings bad luck.

[Save me!]

You are

the one who saved me today!

What are you doing here?

Are you Liu Zhi?

If I was Liu Zhi,

you would be dead by now.

I have the same aim as you.

I'm searching for Liu Zhi too.

I am Jiang Shuo.

Qin Yi Heng.

How petty.

Did you know someone died here?

Of course, I do.

This is a very inauspicious place.

It's very unsafe.

If you're scared,

you should go home.

Why would you say that

this place is unsafe?

Have you heard of feng shui?

This place's feng shui looked as if

someone purposely intended it to be unlucky.

Look.

The carpet resembles a blue lake.

Coupled with the fishbowl beside it,

and the roof,

where someone purposely hung a white curtain.

The front door layout which resembles scissors.

These bring bad luck.

That only tell us this place's owner

was a little superstitious.

I've never believed in feng shui.

It's just tricks that people

come up with to fool others.

I don't know if it's real either

but one thing is for sure.

Someone purposely decorated this house

such that whoever lived here

was bound to die.

There's a tree by Liu Xin's front door.

[It was like a needle piercing his heart.]

[Xiang's front door resembled a pair of scissors.]

That apartment

[caught fire once.]

I'm sure that

the murderer knows feng shui well.

Why would anyone

buy a home like this?

It's cheap.

Come, help me out.

Evil spirits.

Ever changing.

Talisman.

Death.

Funeral.

Why do you keep following me?

I did not.

We're just heading towards the same place.

That better be the case.

Don't try to be funny with me.

Jiang Shuo,

let me take you somewhere.

Come with me.

Are you done checking?

Not yet.

Something's wrong!

Master is gone!

Don't panic.

Please wait here.

Let's go to Master's room.

This alley is long and narrow

like a sword.

It slices up Zhang Meng's home.

Did you not come here before?

I didn't live here.

I just had to sell it.

Open it.

Do you feel that

the temperature in this house

is different from the outside?

Yes, very little light

can penetrate into the home.

The only source of light is from the cracks of the alley.

Of course, it would be colder.

Then would this

house

have any

feng shui or supernatural issues

that you were talking about?

Are there any?

We'll find out.

A mirror's surface is naturally cool.

This only makes this place colder.

Who is it?

This way.

Where did he go?

So this home was situated

on an ice room.

No wonder we found it to be colder.

This doesn't look like a good hiding place.

Ice.

This statue.

Spell.

Someone set this up.

It's not safe here. Let's go.

Who is it?

Liu Zhi.

Don't even bother.

It won't open.

Help to think of a way!

Based on the oxygen level and

air circulation here,

we can only sustain at most for an hour here.

We would die for sure.

Why are you scaring me?

Stop joking around.

Who set this up?

Jiang Shuo,

since we can't get out,

why don't you use this time

to go over your property deals?

Think about your relationship with Liu Zhi.

Who knows,

you may figure something out.

Liu Zhi?

Liu Zhi.

[A friend you have forgotten,]

[A friend you have forgotten, Liu Zhi]

[Liu Zhi.]

How many times have I told you?

I lost my memory. I don't remember anything.

I would love to know who he is more than anyone.

Are you going to keep pretending?

Jiang Shuo.

I shut this door

and I set this up.

In an hour,

if I don't get the answer I want,

we'll both

freeze to death here.

Who are you?

Are you mad?

You just have to tell me

who Liu Zhi is.

I've never been

scared by anyone in my life!

Fine.

I'll play with you then.

Mr Qin,

you're ruthless.

How could you make this real?

How could you think of

a strategy that would kill us both?

What do you want from me?

I told you.

I just want to know

everything about Liu Zhi.

All right.

Fine.

I would like to see

what your true motive is.

Listen to the sound of the coins.

Three.

Two.

One.

[I don't care if you won't allow it.]

[I'm going to England to study medicine next month.]

[Heng'er!]

[Changshan's tycoon disappears mysteriously overnight]

[If you hadn't left,]

[father may not have disappeared.]

[Jiang Shuo]

[Liu Zhi]

[October 15]

You're both awake.

By the time I opened the door,

you had both fainted.

I was so worried.

You shut the door?

Breakfast is over there.

What's the matter with you?

I don't mean harm.

I came here and

saw the ice room

and recalled

a Western method

to cure amnesia

in the most extreme environment.

I had to see your memories.

However, I never knew that in that situation

we could both hallucinate.

Hallucinate?

This is my mind-reading technique.

Let me tell you.

I would be able to read all your thoughts.

You're ruthless.

You dared to mess with me.

That's enough.

Since I've proven to you that I'm not Liu Zhi,

and I'm not connected to him,

stop following me.

I don't need you to cure my amnesia.

Please excuse me.

Why are we here again?

I don't know.

Good day, sir.

Jiang Shuo.

Catch him!

Hold on!

Mr Bai, I can be his witness.

He isn't the murderer.

The stiffness of the corpse tells us that

the time of death was an hour

to four hours ago.

However, during this time,

Jiang Shuo

and I

were with Lady Shi San

in the southern court.

Mr Qin is right,

but I don't need his statement.

I do not need evidence

to prove my innocence.

However, that won't change the fact

that you escaped from prison. Keep an eye on him.

Come here.

Who found the corpse?

Me.

When I came out earlier,

I realised something was swinging about

under the lamp.

Upon closer look,

I was shocked.

[Master is unwell.]

[He can't greet guests.]

[Please follow me to the inner court.]

He's from the Wang family.

Xiao Liu,

summon the butler of the Wang family.

Yes, madam.

Master!

Sir, the butler is here.

Master!

Master!

Master!

How could you be killed

on your birthday?

Master!

Is this your master?

-Master! -Has your master ever met anyone

by the name of Liu Zhi?

Master!

I heard that

you visited the crime scenes.

What did you do there?

I'm not sure

what you're talking about.

I was busy making preparations for the celebration.

I visited a lot of places.

This jade...

Please do not touch the corpse.

All right.

Master, what happened to you?

How could you leave us like that?

What am I going to do without you?

Master.

Master!

Sir.

Jiang Shuo is gone.

What?

Quick!

-That's enough. Let's go. -How scary.

-Quick! Go! -Go!

What happened?

The curse is real.

No one from the Wang family can survive.

What are you talking about?

I don't want to die. Move aside!

Let's go.

Wait for me!

This is definitely related to the Wang family.

[Taiping Lane, No. 28]

[Bo'ai Lane, No. 121]

Chang Shou.

What are you doing here?

You...

Who are you?

Master!

Master! I was wrong!

Please let me go!

Master, there is something you did not know.

Someone died in the houses we sold recently.

The victims are the three gardeners

we fired not too long ago.

The police have started investigating.

I cannot locate the first buyer, Liu Zhi.

If they find the accounts,

I wouldn't be able to

explain this at all.

If you won't explain,

then the three of us died in vain.

No, I didn't cause your deaths.

It has nothing to do with me.

Please let me go.

Tell me honestly. Who bought the houses?

I only know him as Mr Liu Zhi.

However, he wears a mask all the time.

So, I don't even know what he looks like.

However, I know that

he has six fingers.

Who are you?

Who am I?

I am the Living Hades.

Let me ask you.

Did you and your master know?

Did you know that the three residences

and the Wang residence

had been tampered with?

No, I don't.

I don't know anything.

In the Wang residence courtyard,

[a crane in the pond and a turtle by the side]

signify longevity.

However, there are koi in the pond.

Cranes eat fish.

This shortens one's life.

The turtle is even more interesting.

The turtle is facing the West.

[This indirectly wishes early death.]

About this house.

The green dragon is on the left.

The white tiger is on the right.

The pond is on the right side.

This is an open mouth.

Did you know this brings bad luck?

Are you saying

someone manipulated the feng shui of this place?

Just to cause us trouble?

Who in the Wang residence

recently came in contact with those three residences?

Recently.

Recently?

The carpenter, Mr Zhang.

Mr Zhang.
