Love Me If You Dare
Episode 8
This is just an event of my department.
We are still not publicly investigating. It would seem odd if I don't attend.
They are all suspects, and one of them is definitely the murderer.
This is too dangerous.
Even if you are right, I'm not their target,
and anyway, there will be many people there, don't worry about it.
If you must go, then you must be prepared.
Bo Jin Yan has already arranged everything.
Hello? Xun Ran?
This is a good opportunity to sound them out.
I got it.
Bye bye.
That was Xun Ran.
Ever since my childhood, he is like a mother hen, always checking up on me.
He cares a lot for you.
We grew up together like brother and sister.
Try and tell me.
Since it is already determined to be an inside job,
then the person who dragged Wang Wan Wei into the abyss and controlled her with drugs has to be one of them.
It's not Mai Chen. Xue Qing and the deputy manager Shen were both busy
having an affair that night, so the possibility of them conducting the murder is very small.
As for the rest of them, Old Zhou raises a child on his own.
He is busy enough with both his family and his job, and he has such a honest nature.
That night, he also shared a room with Mai Chen, so I don't think it's him either.
Pei Ze and Manager Lin, they are the most likely suspects.
I have decided to focus on observing those two tomorrow night.
Why are you laughing?
Are my deductions wrong?
No,
I just think it's cute.
Which one should I wear?
You want me to imagine you in those clothes?
Apologies, this is something I can't do. Try them on and show me.
How's this?
That won't do.
- How about this one? - Still no.
You still haven't put it in?
Not yet. I can't seem to get it in.
I'll do it myself.
It won't fall?
It will.
So when you eat, don't move your head too much.
Oh.
Hello hello.
Are you ready?
I am ready.
This case can be solved in many ways,
we don't need you to do this.
So tonight, the most important thing is your safety.
Don't ask too much, don't raise their suspicions. Got it?
You nag too much, I got it.
Don't be so nervous. They are not stupid enough to kill you tonight.
Only you can be this reassuring.
Yao Yao, Yao Yao.
You have to remember, "It's raining."
It's not raining.
This is a 'safety message'.
If you feel something's not right,
you only need to say that 'it's raining', we will rush up immediately.
- Is that clear? - Yes.
♫ Perhaps tomorrow, memories will be as calm as tides ♫
You mean, Director Bo doesn't have a girlfriend?
I'm not too sure about this.
He has never asked you to
buy flowers, book a restaurant, or buy a present for a woman.
Then he probably doesn't have a girlfriend, right?
I didn't know you were this interested in him.
Alright, if you're not afraid, go for it! I support you.
Aiyo, he can't still be a virgin, can he?
Childish.
How would you know he's a virgin? You've never tried him.
Do I even need to try?
This kind of man is more or less abnormal in some way.
He gives off the aura of an ascetic from head to toe,
using his fastidious actions as a facade to cover up his feverish interior.
You are both women, don't you agree with me?
There's a logic there.
Bullshit logic.
Cheers!
Hey, you are all drinking without me! The dishes are ready.
Pass it on.
- Such a large crab. - Aiya, of course.
Careful.
Let's eat! Here, Jian Yao.
Pei Ze, I'm a little warm here.
Your seat is closer to the air conditioner, let's switch seats.
Aiya, just eat, don't cause trouble for me tonight.
Quick, eat.
This one is good.
- Here. - Thank you.
What's wrong?
Your face is red.
It's not.
No? Take a look, isn't she blushing?
It might be a little hot.
- Jian Yao. - Huh?
Why did you take my picture?
- This is my freedom. - Delete it.
It's been a while since I've seen a girl blush.
Look, it's a souvenir.
Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom.
I think Pei Ze is the most suspicious.
I'm going to see if he has any drug paraphernalia in his house.
Jian Yao, please be careful.
Right now, we don't have any material evidence in our hand.
If we can find evidence of his drug use,
that would make things easier. Don't worry.
Jian Yao, there is no need to force yourself to do this.
Bo Jin Yan.
What is it?
When the case has concluded,
I want my picture on his phone deleted.
There are some medicines on the first shelf of the closet,
but they all appear to be prescribed by pharmacies.
There are two empty liquid bottles.
They look identical to the ones Wang Wan Wei threw away.
Lots of liquid bottles for medicine have the same standards.
Empty bottles don't mean anything, don't take them.
There's something in the flush cistern.
It looks like a waterproof plastic bag.
Who puts waterproof bags in a place like this?
Jian Yao?
With a pretty face like yours, you don't need to spend this long freshening up.
I'm almost done!
Jian Yao, after you go out, find a way to leave immediately.
We will deal with the rest.
There is a saying that a person's bathroom can best represent his true heart.
What?
Are you peeking into my heart?
My stomach wasn't feeling well.
Jian Yao, I've got some business to tend to, so I'll be leaving first.
I'm going the same way as Old Zhou, I'm leaving too.
Bye bye.
It's getting late, I'm going to go as well.
What's the rush?
It is pretty remote and hard to get a taxi. I can drive you home later.
No need, I can go back on my own.
Aiyo, Your Majesty, just listen to me for once.
- Yi Dan. - Here!
Wash the dishes.
I'm drunk and you still want me to do the dishes.
The smell will go bad if you leave it!
- Hurry! - Am I this easy to use?
Let me do it.
Your Majesty, you have not been given a tour of my house yet, right?
Come, I'll show you around.
Come on.
Go.
Come. This is my study.
This is where I keep my hobbies and collections.
Take a look around.
You like calligraphy?
Yes.
I do it sometimes, but I don't write well.
We're leaving too. See you tomorrow!
Bye bye!
I'm going to go too.
Okay, wait for me in the living room.
- I'll go get my car keys. - Alright.
Pei Ze, is it a blackout?
How unfortunate, it's a blackout.
And I can't find my car keys too.
He turned the main power switch off, wait and see what he does.
Then I'll call for a taxi.
Wait a second, I have something to tell you.
You're very brave.
Do you know? You and your predecessor Wang Wan Wei
look alike.
But your personalities are completely different.
Why did you suddenly mention her?
Is she your ex-girlfriend?
No, I just think you two are quite similar.
Stand there, don't move, I'm coming over.
Jian Yao.
The person you normally see,
is actually not the real me.
Really?
Then who is the real you?
You will discover it eventually.
Now,
we can start our program for tonight.
Can you please light a candle first?
It's more interesting this way.
Can't you tell? Everything that happened tonight was planned by me.
The intention is to have you stay.
Don't come any closer.
Jian Yao. Jian Yao!
That's too careless of you. Don't move.
See. Now you've tripped me.
Get off me.
I can't get off. How about this?
Kiss me, and I'll get off.
Look at you, you are being too paranoid.
I just wanted to give you a surprise. Do I really have to work this hard?
Your skin is so nice.
It's raining. Let go of me.
Your actions are still too slow.
You did this?
A sedative. He should wake up in an hour.
Today is your birthday?
I think it is.
You don't even know if it's your birthday?
What a foolish woman.
I usually celebrate my lunar birthday.
All the preparations he mentioned was to celebrate Jian Yao's birthday.
Now we made a mess.
Bo Jin Yan, I can't believe you actually made him unconscious.
How do you know he had no other intentions?
There is no drug in the cistern, just a bag of cash.
Cash?
Normal people would definitely not leave cash in that kind of place.
This might have been earned with drug trafficking. We can hand this over to the police now.
There is no evidence. He won't admit to anything.
- What do you mean? - Let's leave.
Jian Yao, you stay.
What do I say when he wakes up?
That'll solve it.
When he wakes up, just tell him you tasered him.
Jian Yao.
Don't be scared.
Goodbye.
What happened to me?
You tasered me?
Are you crazy?
I'm really sorry. I'm going home now.
Wait!
You can't go yet.
Cut the cake first.
I ordered it from the 'Black Swans' especially for you.
If you don't cut your cake, I definitely won't forgive you.
Okay.
I'm going up first. I'm really sorry about today.
- Goodbye. - You know,
you've tasered me badly.
You think you can just end things with an apology? Nothing else?
I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow.
My head is dizzy,
I can't breath properly.
Are you okay?
I'm alright, I'm alright.
One longs for another as hairs intertwine. You know,
in my eyes, the most beautiful thing about a woman
is a head of silky black hair grown for a man.
This will be your payment, okay?
Don't forget, we'll have lunch together tomorrow.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
----
Happy birthday, I wish for you to be smarter in the new year.
What kind of birthday wish is this?
Is that real?
Wang Wei didn't commit suicide but was murdered?
Who would do such a thing?
Even if she didn't commit suicide,
what does it have to do with us?
Don't tell me we are all suspects?
Yes.
Apart from Jian Yao, we are all suspects.
You seduced the new female employees and led them to become drug addicts,
controlling and ruining them, destroying their life.
Pei Ze, your influence is really not weak.
Officer, could you not give me such a big hat to fill? (meaning "could you not frame me?")
Everyone gets together just for the thrill of it.
Tell me, who would be able to control anyone?
Do you think you can get away with it?
Wang Wan Wei wasn't your first victim, and probably not the only one.
I believe
that once we officially open the case, it won't be hard to find
another victim who's willing to accuse you.
Alright.
Then I'll wish you luck.
There's no proof. He won't confess.
Ask slowly.
There are so many people. With your abilities, you should be able to find a breaking point.
What Professor Bo meant was, you guys go ahead.
If there's anything, please call. I'll be leaving first.
Was that really what he meant?
March 22nd, after 12:30 a.m., where were you?
I was in room 101 all along.
With who?
Shen Yi Dan.
You lived closest to Pei Ze who was in room 103.
If someone came to find him, you'd see him.
Usually, Xue Qing and I are very busy,
so we are not often together.
In any case, the curtains were drawn on that night. Whatever happened, we really didn't see anything.
You just confessed your love to your crush and she didn't give you an answer.
When you went back to your room, you couldn't just have easily gone to sleep, right?
I was going to call her in an hour's time,
but I drank too much
and I don't know how but I passed out on the sofa.
You mean, you went to sleep early.
Yes, I was asleep until dawn.
You know, a woman at my age is most afraid of staying up too late.
You didn't hear or see anything?
The rain was too heavy.
Mai Chen, who shares the room with me, was drunk. I was afraid he'd throw up so I was looking after him.
I didn't notice what was happening outside.
You and Wang Wan Wei entered the company at the same time, but you were much smarter.
The target was placed on the deceased.
Or the person in this bathtub might have been you.
Xue Qing, are you really willing to let this poor girl die so unfairly?
Do you really want to comply with the demon that murdered her?
I don't know.
This is the call record of that night at that resort.
From 12:47 p.m. till 1:05 a.m.,
there was a call between room 102 in which you stayed, and room 103, which was Pei Ze's room.
Both of you were on the line for 18 minutes.
Manager Lin, you weren't sleeping.
If you're not guilty, why have you lied to the police?
It's obvious. You also have drugs.
You were Pei Ze's first victim.
Or the opposite. He was your accomplice.
What did the both of you say on the phone?
Did you discuss how to kill Wang Wan Wei?
I only wanted to fire her.
She was too weak, it seemed like she would give away to anything.
I warned Pei Ze that it was dangerous to do this.
We just needed to fire her, get rid of her and let her go on her own way and that would have been enough.
I had no intention of killing her off.
Intentionally hiding information, misleading the police. You will be punished for both of these, did you know that?
- I haven't, Officer. - If the curtains in your room were closed,
how could Xue Qing have seen that the lights were turned off in room 103?
The lights were off in room 103.
I couldn't see inside.
Room 103 had no lights on.
But the lights on in front of the door, you would have been able to see that.
Shen Yi Dan, you have a wife and a 7-year-old son.
Do you really want to lie for a murderer?
What did you see?
Wang Wan Wei
entered Pei Ze's room.
At what time?
Around... Around 1 a.m. or just after.
Team leader, the result of the fingerprint analysis on the packet of drugs is out.
It is Pei Ze's.
There's a witness, there's evidence.
Pei Ze, this killer, will never get away.
What are you doing?
Looking at the photos of Wang Wan Wei when she first entered the company.
I see.
This should be when she first joined the company
They look quite happy.
Who knew that things would end this way.
What do you want from me?
I'm hungry.
What is this?
It seems like you know.
Was this perhaps a present to her?
You caused a young, healthy woman to be a drug addict, doing as you please with her,
but what you could not imagine was that drugs could not destroy Wang Wan Wei's love for Mai Chen
or her hope for gaining his love.
And what you also couldn't imagine was that
Mai Chen also fell in love with her, and gave her the courage to resist.
During that night of heavy rain, Wang Wan Wei decided
to get rid of the drugs she was going to use for suicide. She put on her black dress
and went to room 103 in which you were staying.
Perhaps she wanted to tell you that she wouldn't be controlled by you anymore
or that she decided to come clean about her own wrongdoings,
exposing your secret drug abuse. What did you do then?
Of course you could not let her reveal this, she had to be silenced.
You drugged her, put her in the bathtub and slit her wrist.
It was an easy solution to this problem.
Is that right?
She did find me in the middle of the night.
What does this imply?
She was a foolish woman.
She was confused by this so-called love.
What I only did was to help her come to her senses.
Perhaps, she didn't take my advice.
Thus, she lied down in the bathroom
and used the razor to slit her wrist.
Officer, you can accuse me of drugging her
but you cannot accuse me of murdering her.
That's a pity.
Drug addicts are often not that clever.
You have the motive and the timing for the murder.
There are witnesses and material evidence.
Pei Ze, to convict you would be too easy.
Bo Jin Yan.
What's up?
Xun Ran called.
He said Pei Ze has confessed to using drugs to control Wang Wan Wei
and confessed she did look for him that night. We have caught the murderer.
About this case being solved, please tell Li Xun Ran
to please not tell anyone not involved with the case.
Why?
I'll show you something.
This was my last case in the U.S.
The media called him The Flower Cannibal.
Did you catch the killer?
His name is Tommy.
He is jailed in a heavily guarded prison for serious criminals.
So it's him.
Bo Jin Yan, it's him that has been following you, isn't it?
It's true that he's locked up in prison,
but the psychopath who is trying to play games with me
exhibits the same characteristics as him.
I caught Tommy. I can definitely catch him.
You said that this psychopath
wants to stay ahead of you to gain the satisfaction of achievement.
In the Killing Machine case, he went to Sun Yong's home to leave you a message,
because he wanted to enjoy such satisfaction.
So for this case, you are asking the police not to give public announcement
to conceal the actual investigation rhythm so that you can lay a trap for the murderer.
You are waiting for this psychopath to give you the tips, right?
After being my assistant for quite a while, you have improved.
----
What do you mean by reconstructing the crime scene? With your ability,
it has already been such a long time, will we be able to find the real killer?
The crime took place too long ago.
The chain of the evidence has been broken. By bringing everyone back to the crime scene,
I can verify my theory.
Do whatever you want.
But you have to remember this. Regardless of who the killer is,
he must give me a clear explanation for the account number of the hush money.
I won't forget about your beloved fiancé.
Just like the events of that night, bring everyone to their respective rooms.
Okay, I got it.
Tomorrow, at daybreak,
once I go over everyone's movements, I will solve the case.
President, you should return to your VIP room to rest.
