MY ROOMMATE IS A DETECTIVE

Episode 2

The key of this case

is essentially a magic show.

The killer went to great lengths to perform such a play

to mislead the audience,

making them think that

this killer

really came from the mirror.

What are you talking about?

There was no audience

in this place.

Audience?

The audience was the two of you.

Come here.

Let's review what really happened.

How did you stand that night?

Mr. He.

Stand at your place that night.

But we still miss the victim.

Inspector Qiao.

Finally

I'll play

this killer from the mirror.

But first I want to explain

how this "Killer in the Mirror"

was born.

On the night of the murder,

judging from this position of everyone,

the moment the victim was killed,

He Kun blocked in front of the two bodyguards

and the two bodyguards

could only see how the victim was stabbed

from the reflection of the mirror.

It's impossible for them to really have witnessed the whole process of killing.

No! That's not true.

We did see what happened!

You sure?

I…

The day

you put some diuretics to Chen Qiusheng's wine…

The wine tastes weird.

…in order to lead him

to the murder scene you designed.

Then He Kun quickly adjusted

where he stood

to prepare for

the play coming up.

After the victim came out of the bathroom,

he came to the sink.

At this moment,

the murderer got out from here

and stabbed him to death.

But everyone would see the killer hiding here.

They are not blind!

Be patient.

I found out that day

that there is a gimmick here.

It's a quite interesting.

What did you find?

I was wondering

why it would become loose out of nowhere.

Inspector Qiao explained

that maybe it wasn't adhered well at the beginning during the construction.

But this mansion was designed and supervised by the Germans

who we all know wouldn't make such a stupid mistake.

So I think

this mirror was brought here by the murderer.

Move it.

At that time,

the killer was hiding in this space.

At the time of the murder,

the two bodyguards could only see the victim through the mirror.

Your reaction

gave Dr. Zhao enough time to go back to hide.

Then the two bodyguards rushed in

but were distracted by He Kun.

Search the place!

Boss!

Then he put the mirror back to where it was at this time.

When the two bodyguards finished searching and came back here,

they no longer could see anything out of place at the scene.

Boss!

The bodyguards were already stunned by the fact that Chen Qiusheng was killed.

At this time He Kun deliberately planted an idea in their heads.

Did you just see that?

A knife stuck out from the mirror

and stabbed Boss.

This sentence

misled the bodyguards psychologically

and convinced both of them that

what they just saw

was a man from the mirror.

Get someone to help!

Then you sent the two bodyguards to call someone for help

while you took this time window to

put the mirror back on and wipe it clean.

The doctor went downstairs

where he was then brought back to the crime scene by the bodyguards

to perform a so-called rescue.

The knife was stabbed into his side from a slanting direction.

You pulled the knife out because you didn't want to expose

the fact that you were hiding on a slant direction on his side.

That's a wonderful speech.

But you don't have any solid evidence.

So you still cannot pin this on me.

Evidence?

The evidence was just in front of you.

Although you have wiped

the front of this mirror clean,

the back

will still have your fingerprints on it.

We just need to take it back for a test

to see if I am right or not.

I did not expect

I still missed something

even though I racked my brains.

You killed him

for revenge, right?

Yes. Revenge.

The old lady who died an

unjust death at the time of the demolition

was my mother.

Both of them

killed my mother

just to build this luxurious mansion.

So Chen Qiusheng and Nie Chengjiang

must pay for her death with their lives.

What about you?

Take a wild guess.

It's really you!

Why are you…

You did it !

Why?

Mr. Qiao!

Why would you…

Just wait and see!

Just wait and see!

He Kun, betraying one's boss is a taboo in the underworld.

Why would you do that?

It was all your fault!

Because of me?

We both tried our best to survive in the street of Shanghai.

But then I got lame

so I had to find a job of secretary for Chen Qiusheng.

I was bossed around by him and lost my pride.

Later I heard you became a

detective inspector in Concession Police Station

with a bright future.

I had to find a future for myself.

Just at this time,

Dr. Zhao came to me taking a huge risk.

This is all my savings.

Only you can help me with this matter.

Do you believe I can kill you now?

I believe you.

But have you ever thought about it?

You have no future

working for Chen Qiusheng.

Your only chance of

getting a better future is when he dies.

You were one of them

who involved the forced relocation.

But I will only

revenge on Chen Qiusheng for my mother's death.

If you help me,

you can consider it to be a redemption of your sin.

If not,

then I bet on the wrong person.

Chusheng, you have a better fate than me.

You chose to work for the right boss.

Mr. Bai is a loyal and good boss,

unlike the one I worked for,

who never treated the men working for him as humans.

I figured out how the crime was committed.

But I still couldn't figure out

why Mr. Nie framed me.

There can be only one killer.

If the police caught you,

then the real murder would get away with it.

Then why did he protect Dr. Zhao?

He didn't do so out of good intention.

He and Chen Qiusheng used to be partners to sell crude opium.

If this case was not closed,

sooner or later he would be a person of interest.

He framed you as a scapegoat

to protect himself.

We should have come back two days later.

It wouldn't make much difference.

He was deeply poisoned,

he wouldn't have survived.

What are you going to do next?

Back to work in the bank.

What else can I do?

You are a good detective candidate.

Would you like to stay and handle cases for me?

Work for you?

Do you know how much money I make a month?
