[Lenda do Detetive Song Ci] EP03 | Sun Zeyuan/Chen Xinyu | Suspense/Traje Antigo | YOUKU
[Episode 3] Satin. I remembered. Satin. I saw it in Mr. Tian’s cabin. A white silken cloth. It’s satin. How do you explain this? Friction produces adsorbability that can trap substances. I’m not sure about how it works. Even though he’s got satin in his nose, what does it prove?
I still need to check something. Petechia in the corner of the eye. Purple and chapped lips. Silk thread in the nose. Zifang, we may have fallen into the murderer’s trick. He deliberately put the head in the box to mislead me. The dead was strangled by satin and suffocated to death.
The head was chopped off after he died. Suffocated? [The Forensic Examiner Song Ci] Don’t worry, I will find the culprit, and bring him to justice to avenge you. Hesheng, I suspected you before. Please don’t blame me. Did Meng Hesheng die the same way as Mr. Tian? Judging by the broken neck bone, the injury was caused by a weapon.
But the head is missing. So we can’t jump to conclusions. Look there. I kicked him there. What? When did you kick him? Three days before he died. Three days? The bruise should’ve crusted over by now. No. Three days. Wait. What’s wrong? I can’t explain it to you right now. Now
I need to go to the boat again. Put the cover back. Why are you always like this? Let’s go. [Xiashui Wharf] Mr. Li, you’re welcoming us here? Keep it down. Miss Shen is examining the site. Don’t disturb her. What if she damages the site? We’re holding the Psychic Assembly tonight.
Miss Shen is finding things to communicate with the female ghost. Mr. Li. You said I’d handle the case. I don’t care how she messes around. But she can’t affect me to solve the case. Song Ci. I can’t handle the case over to you. What? Mr. Li, you… Miss Shen, did we disturb you?
No, I just finished. It’s their turn now. Since you think I’m messing around, let’s have a competition in our own way. I’d like to see what you’re capable of. Did she just look down upon me? It’s none of my business. You… Let’s split up.
I go check the head. You go to the cabin. Take it away. Uncle. The post sent it this morning. You wrote to Lin’an? Someone. I’ll check if Song Ci is done. Zifang. I don’t want to admit that ghosts can kill. But you know my difficulties. The death of Mr. Tian and Meng Hesheng is spreading panic. People say the female ghost is seeking revenge. Whether it’s a human or a ghost,
I’ll leave it to Miss Shen if it’s a ghost, and if it’s human, I hope the murderer has killed everyone he was supposed to kill to avenge Miss Fuyao, so he won’t kill more innocent people. Uncle, what does it mean? After tonight, we should put it to an end.
A human or a ghost, let’s just say it’s a ghost. Mr. Song, I’ve put the tea leaves in the boxes. Yuanfang, are you ready? Yes. What’s wrong? Come on. Song Ci. Are you alright? You care about me so much? I’m just asking. Of course I’m fine. Then why did you screech?
You scared us. I didn’t screech. Liar. It was you. Sir, it was me actually. Mr. Song asked me to do it. Who are you? I’m Yuanfang. I’m asking why did you screech. Why? Well… Because I was in the cabin alone. So when you heard the screech, naturally you thought it was me.
It’s the same case when Mr. Tian was murdered that day. Now I solved this locked room mystery and figured out how the murderer prepared the scene. Sir. Look around. What’s missing here? The tea leaves are gone. That’s right. If the murderer simply wants to kill Mr. Tian, why did he take the trouble
And put so many tea leaves on the floor? So his purpose is not to take the tea leaves out of the box and put the head inside? If that’s the case, he just needs to empty one box, instead of scattering all of the tea leaves around. So you mean… The murderer
Is trying to fool us. Why don’t we check the boxes again? Open it. [Top-quality Longjing Tea] This box is empty. Sir. A box of tea leaves is gone. Two boxes are full, and one is empty. Someone stole a box of tea leaves? Wrong. This is the key to the murder case.
I put the tea leaves back to the boxes, but only filled two boxes. One box is empty. What does it suggest? There were supposed to be three boxes. The murderer replaced the empty box. And he was hiding in that box. That night, Mr. Tian was making tea,
And the murderer came out of the box he’d been hiding in and when Mr. Tian was defenseless, he came from behind and smothered him with a handkerchief. That’s why we found satin fibre in Mr. Tian’s nose. Sorry, Zifang. You’ll see. Wasn’t he beheaded? Why was he smothered? I checked the body.
The physical signs attribute death to suffocation. And we found satin fibre in his nose. His head was chopped off after he died. Who? [Top-quality Longjing Tea] (and then hid in the box.) The two servants rushed into the cabin, but they were stunned by the ghost. Seeing the creepy scene, their first instinct was to escape. So the murderer had enough time to get out of the crime scene. You’ve been talking from the boat to here.
It technically makes sense. What do you mean “technically”? My analysis is well-grounded. Do you really believe a ghost did this? I tell you, this case involves at least two people. One pretended to be the ghost, and the other committed murder. So who’s the murderer? Tell me. Give me three days.
I will find him for sure. Three days? Who knows what’ll happen in three days? Just forget it. I should leave it to Miss Shen. Dry weather! [Li’s Mansion] Care fire! Look. The clouds are covering the moon. What’s the big deal? Yeah, what’s the big deal? What’s so special about that?
You should see the look on your face. Miss Shen. What did Fuyao’s soul say to you? These cases have nothing to do with her soul. Nothing? Yu Fuyao’s soul didn’t come. I didn’t feel her soul at all. She had let go of her grievances and begun a new life in a new body.
So her soul no longer exists in the world. These cases were the work of a human, not a ghost. But… I asked the three of you to come because I want to tell you the real situation. As for what you’ll tell other people, it’s not my problem. Mr. Li.
I have a few things to tell Mr. Li and Mr. Song. Please. OK. You can wait outside. So with all these weird rituals, you didn’t even summon the soul. I can’t even contradict you. I can tell you the information of the murderer. What? This person has few friends and barely talks.
He spends most of the time alone. He doesn’t like an enclosed environment, but enjoys the wild and open air, and has a self-mutilation tendency. When he was young, he was emotionally traumatized and devastated, so he seeks psychological solace. And he blindly idolizes someone. When you find the real murderer,
You’ll know if what I just said is true or not. You… It suddenly rains. That’s why the clouds covered the moon. It was going to rain. Mr. Sun. What’s going on? Mr. Li just announced that Miss Shen had persuaded Yu Fuyao’s soul to reincarnate. The female ghost won’t kill people anymore. What?
He really said that? Yeah. Weren’t you with him? [Li’s Mansion] Mr. Song. Mr. Li said the case is closed. If you came for him only for the case, then please go back. He knows clearly whether the case is closed or not. Mr. Song, don’t make it hard for me. Song Ci. There’s something that we can’t do. Now Mr. Tian is dead, so is Meng Hesheng. They both had something to do with Yu Fuyao’s death. In other words, the murderer has done enough to avenge Yu Fuyao’s death. So you think the murderer will stop killing. For the position Minister of Personnel,
You lied to people that it was done by a ghost, and that Shen Xiyue convinced the ghost and calmed her anger. You think we’ll enjoy peace and there won’t be any murder? Do you think I did it for this black gauze cap? Am I wrong? Song Ci. Mr. Li just surmises
That the murderer won’t kill anymore. Now the butler in Yang’s Mansion is missing. We don’t know if he’s still alive. And what’s worse, we can’t catch the murderer. Instead of keeping all the people scared all day, why can’t we comfort them? You know how important Xiashui River is
For the whole of Jianyang City? Just because of these cases, there are many fewer merchant ships than before, and it has greatly affected people’s lives. Mr. Li did this for the sake of Jianyang City. Mr. Li, no matter what, you can’t lie to the people. What if he kills more people?
But we can’t catch him. I can. Here are 100 taels of silver. Song Ci. I know you’re short of money. Give up on the case. Mr. Li. It’s true that I need money. But it’s a different matter. I need to bring justice to the dead. Many people committed murder,
And lots of them got away with it. In my mind, if one kills, he should plead guilty. That’s what I believe in. Song Ci. With your abilities, it’s easy for you to get an official rank. You could’ve… You know the murderer is at large, and as the local magistrate,
The next Minister of Personnel, you made an announcement that it was a ghost’s doing. If I get an official rank to be just like you, I’d rather not. Stop there. The new garrison director won’t accept any unsolved cases. If I don’t close it, he’ll find a way to do so. So what?
Zifang is in the room. Go find him. Mr. Li. I can’t convince you. Just do whatever you want. Thanks, Mr. Li. Song Ci, I’ve been looking for you. Guess what I found. Zifang, I thought you’d given up. I can understand my uncle, but I don’t agree with him. People died.
Whether it’s a human or a ghost, I must bring him to justice. Do you remember when I first became an official? Of course. Back then, you were young and full of passion, wishing to recover the Central Plains. And you couldn’t tolerate things that contradict your own views. It’s good to be young.
I wish he could keep doing this. Tell me. What did you find? Remember the leaf we saw at the prison gate? Of course I do. I’ve always found it weird. I looked through a lot of books, and found that it’s the leaf of fog flowers.
Fog flowers mainly grow in humid areas of the mountains, such as the South Hill. What are you waiting for? Let’s go. You’re always like this. Can you walk slowly? Cow dung is everywhere. I regret to have come to this place with you. My boots are muddy. I need to buy new boots.
Yeah, that’s it. The leaf of fog flowers. Check this out. Zifang. See if there’s any difference. It was dry when I picked it up. We found it at the only air vent. You said you found sleeping incense at the vent. I guess the murderer lighted the sleeping incense there.
The fog flower’s leaf we found at the prison gate was dry. And fog rolls over South Hill all year round, so it’s heavy with moisture. The fog flowers and their leaves will be unfurled. The leaf was dry when we picked it up. It proves the murderer went here on that day
When South Hill was foggy. And that leaf stuck to the sole of his shoe. It followed him back to Jianyang City in the day. Then the next day, at the Zi hour, the ghost appeared in the prison. After one day, the leaf became dry.
So South Hill is the center to the two places the murderer went. Jianyang City is over there. What is that place? Shuo County. It’s across Xiashui River from Jianyang. Shuo County is downstream of Xiashui River. Song Ci. Mr. Sun went to Shuo County at the Wei hour to catch the butler’s accomplice.
I’m short of hands now. You have to help me. Shuo County. Sun Baojing went to Shuo County before Mr. Tian died and then to the prison. You are not going? Mr. Sun, you can go first. – See you. – See you. You suspect Mr. Sun? You’re always like this. Mr. Sun
Did inform us to meet in the inn of Shuo County to catch the criminal. When did you set off? We agreed to leave at the Chen hour the next day. Mr. Sun said he had some personal matters to deal with and asked us to go first. We left at the Xu hour
On the seventh day of the eighth month and traveled overnight, arrived at the inn at the Chen hour the next day. I heard he arrived at the Mao hour. He was taking a rest. Traveled overnight. So you didn’t take a rest on the way? Just a few minutes. We were afraid to be late. I remember Mr. Sun told my uncle you went to catch the criminal at the Wei hour on the seventh day of the eighth month. But why you left at the Xu hour?
You’re the one asking? – Sir. – Sir. I thought they’d travel a long way to reach Shuo County. So I gave them some money. But they headed straight to the gambling house. Sit. Sit. Sit down. Mr. Zifang was right. I reported to Mr. Li
At the Wei hour on the seventh day of the eighth month. After that, I told them to set off for Shuo County immediately. At the Chen hour the next day, we met at Yuelai Inn of Shuo County to start the arrest. I had some private matters to attend to.
I left at the You hour and arrived at Yuelai Inn at the Mou hour. But they didn’t leave until the hour of Xu and arrived at the Chen hour. Luckily, they didn’t affect our business. If the criminal got away, you’d be held responsible. Yeah. We won’t do that again. – We promise. – We promise. You two should quit gambling. – Sure. – OK, OK. What did you come to see me for? Still for the female ghost case. Mr. Li already said
The female ghost Yu Fuyao promised not to kill anymore. What else do you want to know? We just wanna ask some questions out of curiosity. I don’t necessarily know more than you two do. But Mr. Zifang is paying for the drinks. You can ask any questions you want. I’ll speak without reserve.
It’s the nearest route to go from Jianyang City to Shuo County through South Hill, right? I’m not sure about this, because I’m not a local. But, I asked some people. Technically speaking, going through South Hill is the nearest route. Did the three of you go back from Shuo County together?
Don’t get me started. We went to arrest the criminal, but no one was there. So I took them back overnight the next day. Mr. Sun, do you have any new discoveries about the female ghost case as the captor? I investigated Qin Si, the butler of Yang’s Mansion. Ten years ago,
He worked for Mr. Tian, and came to Yang’s Mansion six years ago. Those who died were all people who bullied Yu Fuyao. Is it that Qin Si used to bully her with Mr. Tian? [Xiashui Village’s Personnel Register Volume Ⅴ] [Register] I didn’t find Qin Si. But I found out Yu Fuyao
Was close to a guy named Zhang Gui. All the people in the village know that they were a couple. And the jade pendant on Yu Fuyao was a love token from Zhang Gui. Those who died were all people who bullied Yu Fuyao. A murderous female ghost. Think about it,
Is there any logic in it? Maybe she already ate the bones. Did you hear me? Where’s Zhang Gui? How could hear me when your mind was wandering? After Yu Fuyao died, Zhang Gui left Xiashui Village and never came back. Why it took ten years for the murderer to start to kill?
I also thought about it. But my answer was Yu Gengyi was the murderer. After we left his house, I asked a physician about it. He told me Yu Gengyi could live for half a year without any problem. But his condition has become worse lately. Damp affects the lungs the most.
If he went to Xiashui River and got into the water, it’d make him sicker. So he thought he had to kill cause he didn’t have much time left. If Yu Gengyi is the accomplice, the murderer didn’t come to Jianyang in the past ten years. Then he started his plan for revenge
Ten years later in Jianyang. So Zhang Gui, who disappeared before, could possibly be the murderer. He colluded with some people who also wanted to avenge Fuyao. He suddenly came back after ten years. If we couldn’t find him in the register, he must have hidden his identity. Who do you think he is?
Mr. Zifang. Mr. Li will leave for Lin’an tonight to take up his new post. There’s a farewell banquet arranged. Please attend it. Zifang. Where’s Mr. Li? In the front lobby. Zifang. Who do you think the murderer wants to kill? Someone who’s related to Yu Fuyao’s death. Mr. Tian was the one who killed Yu Fuyao directly. Meng Hesheng brought Mr. Tian to Yu Fuyao’s home. Mr. Sun said Qin Si, Yang Mansion’s butler,
Also worked for the Tian family. Mr. Tian forced Yu Fuyao to marry him. He framed Yu Fuyao for stealing the treasure in his mansion, and if she didn’t agree to marry him, he’d put her into jail. And the case… Uncle was in charge of the case. Who do you think
The murderer is going to kill? Could it be… If the murderer didn’t let those people go, how could he go easy on your uncle? No. I gotta go. Where are you going? What do you think? We’re on Xiashui River, and it’s almost the Zi hour. What if the murderer takes action?
I have to protect my uncle. What if you go and the murderer isn’t there? You want to use my uncle as bait to lure the murderer out? Can you protect your uncle all the time? He’s going to Lin’an. Along the way, the murderer has all sorts of opportunities to kill him. But…
Don’t worry. Song Ci. Don’t you think it’s cold in here? We’re on the river at night. Of course it’s cold. I started coughing as soon as I entered the room. Yeah, what’s wrong? Mr. Tian died in this room. Couldn’t we live in another room? You reminded me.
It’s the seventh day after Mr. Tian died. Will his spirits return? Stop scaring me. I’m off. I was joking. Sit down. Come on. You live calmly in this terrifying world. This is not to be scared of. The female ghost is gone. Guard all exits. Let me check on Mr. Li.
