MY ROOMMATE IS A DETECTIVE

Episode 1

Hello.

Listen.

A few constables came for you just now.

Constables?

Morning, Mr. Lu.

Morning.

Ms. Wang.

Slow down.

Slow down!

Slow down!

How should I address you, sir?

Qiao Chusheng,

inspector of the Concession Police.

An inspector at such a young age.

I'm impressed.

Cut the nonsense.

From now on,

you should truthfully answer

every question I ask.

Don't ever lie to me, or I'll take you apart.

I won't. I definitely won't.

Your name?

Lu Yao.

Age?

24.

Occupation?

Staying at home.

Bullshit.

You're the manager of Bank of Sassoon's Stock Department.

Why did you ask me now that you already knew it?

You graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge.

You're a deacon of the UK's Freemasonry

with a double bachelor's degree in math and medicine.

Incredible.

I also studied law.

I was just too lazy to do the thesis defense.

Or I would have a triple bachelor's degree.

So you just deliberately broke the law.

I don't know what you're talking about.

What law did I break?

Stop pretending.

What did you do at 9 o'clock last night?

I got drunk last night

and I can't remember anything.

Bullshit.

You murderer, stop being shameless.

Murderer?

Who did I murder?

Chen Qiusheng.

He's dead?

How did he die?

At 9 o'clock last night, there was the inauguration ceremony

of the new house of Nie Chengjiang, a famous Shanghai entrepreneur.

According to the witnesses,

at 8:45,

after the victim, Chen Qiusheng and his three subordinates entered the venue...

Boss.

...they had a fierce conflict with you.

Get out of the way.

Step aside.

Get out of the way.

Step aside. Back off!

Don't stand in the way!

Hurry.

Get out of the way.

Step aside.

I'm talking to you. Hurry!

Mr. Chen.

Are you asking for death?

It's so hard to meet you.

You're here again, you little brat.

You've owed me money for nearly half a year.

It's time for you to pay back.

You even dare to mention that?

The fake information you released

made all of us blow up.

I'm being nice to you

by not asking you for money.

Don't you dare be so shameless!

If you harass me anymore,

I'll beat you whenever I see you.

Long! Hu!

Yes!

Keep it in mind:

Beat him whenever we see him!

Wait. Do you know who I am?

I'm counting to three. Get off me!

One, two,

three.

That jerk

just keeps asking for death.

We'll kill him sooner or later.

Let's go.

Chen Qiusheng.

From now on you're my enemy.

Bastard! You're asking for death!

Boss, boss, boss.

Calm down. Calm down.

No need to get mad with such a jerk.

What does the wine taste like?

It's strong!

Double!

I didn't take him down just because of Sassoon.

I'll kill him if he ever comes again.

Out of our way!

Stay away!

I need to pee!

It has been chaotic out there lately.

As subordinates, you two

need to be alert. Understand?

Yes, Mr. He.

Look!

Go ahead, search!

Boss! Boss! Boss!

Boss!

Boss.

Boss!

Boss! Boss!

Boss! Boss!

Boss.

Mr. He, there's nobody inside!

Nobody's inside!

Did you guys see that?

A knife from inside the mirror

stabbed into Boss's body.

Wait.

What do you mean?

You're suspecting me of murder?

Of course!

If you hadn't killed him,

why would you have to run away this morning?

I...

What did you do at 9 o'clock last night?

Last night,

I was thrown out of the house by Chen Qiusheng's bodyguards.

Then I found his car in the parking lot.

Then I went back.

After waking up this morning,

I got arrested by you guys.

I thought you arrested me for scratching his car.

Inspector, we shouldn't be nice

to such a brazen liar.

Or he'll take advantage of our kindness.

You'll torture me to extort a confession?

Fine. I want to see my lawyer.

This is a concession, not a land beyond law.

Gentleman, go easy on me! We're civilized people.

Get off me!

Don't you dare tear my clothes!

Get off me!

Keep an eye on him.

I'll sue you for harassing me!

It's you harassing me!

Don't you dare say it again!

Bai Youning, what are you doing?

I'm here for you.

What? Something happened to your family?

Something serious happened.

I've run away from home after fighting with my dad.

Why?

Last night, when I was working overtime at the newspaper office,

he took a woman home having dinner.

They were caught by me.

It's been so many years since your mother passed away.

It's still not OK.

Besides, she's a social butterfly.

How come my dad doesn't feel humiliated?

What kind of woman your father likes

is none of your business.

OK, I won't meddle in that. I've just run away from home.

I'll live on my own from now on.

Living on your writing?

Our chief editor told me

to cover the news about social security.

Once I get exclusive news, he'll give me a pay rise.

OK. Go for it.

I heard you're dealing with a big case.

We haven't had any clue yet.

You can focus on your case. I'll just sit there and listen

without disturbing you.

Please, Chusheng.

Please tell me what happened last night.

You care about me, right?

Last night,

Chen Qiusheng was murdered in a bathroom in the Nie's Mansion.

We got to the crime scene as soon as possible.

Who is this?

I'm the Nies' family doctor.

I'm surnamed Zhao.

I was the first one to get here after the incident had happened.

When I arrived here, however,

Mr. Chen was dying.

Although I took necessary first-aid measures,

he still...

Chen Qiusheng?

Mr. Qiao.

Sorry. Inspector Qiao.

Boss was stabbed.
