🔍 MY ROOMMATE IS A DETECTIVE 🔍

🔍 Episode 14 🔍

In 1915,

a family of four in Yangzhou

suffered a fire in which the parents and the youngest son were burned to death.

The fire started in the kitchen in the middle of the night.

The 9-year-old oldest son was not at home

and therefore survived the fire.

But he went missing after that.

I know.

Li Meng's hometown was in Yangzhou.

After leaving the mutual aid society,

he met Li Danyi who just lost his family

and adopted him.

Then he should thank Li Meng.

Why did he kill him?

Where is the fire's file?

Yangzhou.

OK, let's split up.

You contact Yangzhou first.

Ask them everything about the fire back then,

and don't miss any trivial detail.

What about you?

I have figured out about the Divine Rope.

I just need to go to the crime scene to confirm.

Once there is news from you,

come to the society's altar to meet me right away.

OK.

What about me?

Wait for me.

Don't gather here! Leave!

This is police investigation!

This is a holy place of our God's Message Society. No trespassing!

Do you know who I am?

I don't care who you are.

Guarding the holy place is our duty.

Do you know the Eight Martial Arts Masters in Shanghai?

Qiao Chusheng, Bold Liu,

Stammer Hua, Fat Qiang, King of Shoulder Pole,

Liu San, Axe Hong, Glasses Tao.

I know all of them. Who are you?

Nothing. I was just asking.

Please leave.

We won't let you come inside.

You have to be reasonable.

Do you know what sentence you will get for attacking a police officer?

Are you a police officer?

No, but they are patrol officers.

I can't stop them if they want to enter.

But I dare you to make another step!

So you just target me.

Arrest them all.

I dare you to arrest any of us!

Are you trying to outnumber us?

We have guns!

Actually we don't have guns.

Why not?

No one asked us to bring guns.

We were told to investigate the scene.

No need to bring a gun for that.

Just let me take a look. I'm begging you.

What do you want to see?

The God's Messenger was killed.

I want to find out the real killer

to revenge for him.

Master Li was murdered?

Yes.

I knew it!

Master Li was such a kind man with strong power.

How could it be condemnation of God?

Sir, you must avenge Master Li

and find out who killed him!

You can go inside.

Revenge! Revenge!

These idiots.

They still refuse to leave after they were bilked every penny they had.

Stupid and ignorant.

Find me a ladder.

Ladder?

Find a ladder!

A ladder! Get him a ladder!

Hurry up! Let's move.

Find a ladder.

I knew it.

You're awesome.

Mr. Lu.

What?

Every time you ponder in your thought,

and suddenly open your eyes

after a while,

that means you have solved the case.

It's not that easy as you described.

Actually we all respect you.

In the future when we're at a field invitation,

just leave those trivial no-brainers

to us.

You don't need to do it yourself.

OK, I'd like that.

What shall we do next?

Wait.

Wait for what?

Wait for the next time

I suddenly open my eyes.

What? There was something perplexing?

Okay. I see.

What did the Yangzhou Police say?

There was something perplexing with the fire.

It is said that there was evidence suggesting intentional arson.

According to the neighbors, the couple took in

a monk who came to their house asking for food.

A monk?

Could it be Li Meng who left the temple?

Very possible.

That fire was raging.

Then the fire went out and they went in to find the bodies,

but they only found bodies of the two adults.

They guessed the youngest son was so small

that even the bones were burnt to ashes.

This is so sad!

If the monk the couple took in was indeed Li Meng

and he was also the one who set the fire,

then he could

pretend to be a good Samaritan and adopt

Li Danyi who lost his family in the fire.

Li Danyi must have found something

during these years living with him

so he decided to seek revenge.

Let's go to find Silly Lu.

Where is he?

On the rooftop.

Over here.

What are you doing on the rooftop?

Sleeping. What did you find out about the fire?

Come down and then we'll talk.

No hurry. Find someone to bring some shovels.

Why?

Dig the sand.

Do you want to dig the whole pace?

The whole place over here.

What did you find?

The color of the sand looks fresh.

The pit is recently filled?

Yes.

What is this pit for?

Didn't you keep asking me

the role of the Divine Rope in this case?

So did you figure out?

In fact, how the rope works is very simple.

Someone hides in this pit beforehand

and then cover a

magician's box with a hole at the bottom.

Then the person hiding can manipulate the rope underneath

to make it upright.

The problem is that even if someone is operating it,

how could a rope stand upright

and support a person's weight who's climbing on it?

You have never seen a snake before?

I didn't know how they did it at first

until I saw a snake in the back kitchen.

A light broke in upon me.

Normally a snake looks soft and boneless,

but when it is going to attack,

it will suddenly stand up.

It is thanks to the special structure of the snake bone.

I guess this Divine Rope was inspired

by the structure of the snake bone.

Just add two wires in the rope.

When the operator tightens the wires,

the snake bone rope will become uptight and straight up.

And when he loosens the wires,

the snake bone rope will loosen right away

like an ordinary rope.

Then how do you explain

the clouds at the skylight

and the God's Messenger talked to God?

Just deceiving tricks.

There is a chimney on the rooftop pointing to the skylight.

As long as the boiler room is boiling water,

there will be a lot of water vapor gathering.

I also looked at the bricks on the roof.

One piece is particularly smooth.

Someone often stepped on it.

So, Li Danyi

didn't kill Li Meng.

That's why I asked you to check

what really happened in the fire

to see there was any other survivor

except Li Danyi.

If Li Danyi found out

a family member of his had been

locked in the backyard cellar all these years,
