Memory Lost (Mei Ren Wei Xian / 美人为馅)

- Who is it? - It's me. Si Si.

You scared me to death! Why were you at the hospital?

Si Si, thank you for coming over to keep me company!

Okay, okay. What happened?

Let's talk inside.

Don't cry.

Sit.

What happened, Xiao Fei?

I was... that...

That?

I was found in an abandoned theater this morning.

I was examined by doctors.

I really was... raped.

Raped?

How did that happen?

Si Si, I'm really scared right now.

Even in my own house

I feel a pair of eyes watching me.

Don't be scared.

How about this? Stay at my place tonight.

Let's go pack up some clothes.

Si Si!

What is it, Xiao Fei?

[This is the beautiful moment I've captured for you.]

It's okay. I'll call someone.

Hello?

[Based on the novel of the same name. This is a work of fiction.]

[Any resemblances are purely coincidental.]

Boss!

Here you go.

- When did Ms. Ma call the police? - This morning.

It tastes pretty good today.

Where is she?

On the 18th floor.

When did you find the pictures?

Officer Bai.

Officer Bai, the lock is not broken.

- Keep inspecting. - Yes.

Ms. Ma, don't be upset.

- Did you find anything? - We'll catch him.

The suspect came to the victim's house after the crime

and meticulously arranged a display in the closet.

I'll take you there.

No need to.

I'll take over.

Look, the police are here. Nobody will harm you.

Ms. Ma, first control your emotions, and then tell me what happened in detail.

What wrong have I done? Why is he doing this to me?

Ms. Ma, what time did you arrive home yesterday?

I left the hospital and got home at 6 p.m.

I called Si Si because I was scared.

So that means the suspect had already set everything up before that.

We inspected your lock and didn't notice any signs of a break-in.

He may be an expert lock picker, or he has your house key.

Ms. Ma, think carefully. Have you given your key to anyone recently?

No. Not even Si Si has my house key.

Ms. Ma, you don't need to be afraid.

Starting now, we will arrange 24-hour security detail to protect you.

Even if you don't remember what he looks like, we will catch him.

You are... her friend?

Yes. I've been with Xiao Fei ever since I got here yesterday.

When we later saw the pictures, I called you--

Which precinct are you from? How come I don't recognize you?

I'm not an officer in this area.

If you're not an officer here, then leave.

Don't you know extraneous people aren't allowed into a crime scene?

Wait!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

He is my friend.

I was really scared after seeing the photos so I called him.

He headed over here so early in the morning. Let him stay.

He's also a police officer.

You're also a police officer?

Han Chen.

- Han Chen? - Check it out.

You're the Han Chen who solved three consecutive major provincial cases?

I guess... I must be.

You're my idol, you know?

Boss, he's the one Chief Gu was talking about!

God Han, I am Zhou Xiao Zhuan! I graduated from Guanhu Police Academy!

Ever since I was a kid, I've had the dream of

standing in the front lines alongside you as a fellow police officer.

I finally get to meet you in person today!

Give me a hug first!

God Han, you are my idol.

- You are my idol! - Zhou Xiao Zhuan.

When are you going to change your habit of kissing up to others?

- Boss, leave me some dignity. - Look at how you're acting.

Are you in charge of this case?

That's right.

Come here. I have some things to say.

All right.

I'll leave out the bullshit. I just have three things to say.

Everyone, God Han has something to say.

Come on.

- Please go ahead. - Yes!

Why aren't you talking? If you're not talking, I will.

I'll leave out the bullshit as well.

I already have three conclusions regarding this case.

First, the suspect lives within

a five kilometer radius of the crime scene.

Second, his work hours are considerably flexible.

Third, his occupation

is likely a designer, artist, or a profession relating to art.

Xiao Bai, was the scene of the crime at Red Star Theater or here?

Ma Xiao Fei was found at Red Star Theater yesterday morning.

We had mistakenly believed the theater was where the original crime took place.

But, based on today's findings

I conclude that Ms. Ma was kidnapped from this apartment.

That's why this apartment is the original crime scene.

The criminal painstakingly set up the decor at Red Star Theater.

It would have required a lot of time for him to be sufficiently prepared.

The time and location of the crime were predetermined.

The victim was also a target he had followed, screened, and selected.

Afterwards, he paid numerous visits to the theater to set up the scene

and came to scout out the area around the victim's house.

He was so cocky. Why is that?

That is because he was certain

the police wouldn't be able to find him in the near future.

And as Ms. Ma has said, she has not had any disputes with anyone recently

or any relationship disputes or conflicts of interest.

For now, we can rule out the likelihood that the suspect is someone she knows.

My conclusion is that the culprit's place of residence and work are nearby

and he has a fairly good understanding of the surrounding area.

That's why I suggest we focus our search within a five kilometer radius.

He has so much free time to plan out his attack.

Therefore, his job must be very accommodating.

Most importantly, I've found that based on the setup of the scene

this person is someone who...

has his own certain ideals of art that he pursues.

Everything he has done has been for his own gratification.

In summary, if we believe it is a stranger who committed the crime

then we are searching for

a suspect who lives nearby, has a job related to art

and has work hours that are absolutely extremely flexible.

Brilliant, Boss.

Yes, that's very solid reasoning.

Are you done?

I've only looked over the information once.

I'll just point out three clearly questionable points.

Let's compare this to similar cases.

First of all, I've questioned the victim.

The offender seemed to care greatly

about whether the victim felt pleasure during the act.

He even gave the victim the illusion of a dream come true.

This is rarely seen. Why is that?

Secondly, why did the culprit move the victim to the theater from here?

If for the purpose of concealing the fact that this was the original crime scene

then why did he return here to put up the photos?

Thirdly, based on a survey of the crime scene

the criminal did not leave behind any footprints, fingerprints, or hair.

That shows he is extremely meticulous.

Yet, such a person left behind semen and photos?

It can only be because he wanted the police to find them.

So what is his motive?

Your assertions cannot explain the aforementioned three points at all.

Other than agreeing with the point that he isn't someone the victim knows

you can reconsider the rest.

I'm done.

Goodbye.

- He's impressive. - Yes, he surely is a genius detective.

Wow. Cool!

Cool, your ass!

- Isn't he cool! - Yes!

- Isn't he awesome? - Yes.

- Where is he? - He left.

Don't let me see you ever again.

God Han? So what if you're God Han?

Even if you're a fairy, you can't come acting like a boss on my turf.

Did you need to see me for something?

You sure are sly.

Why are you hiding here so sneakily? To eavesdrop on me?

You call me sneaky?

Don't you also like to attack others when you first meet them?

What do you mean by that?

Back at Suse Hotel, I didn't know you were an officer.

So, I'm sorry.

It was you?

Officer, what's the matter?

- Why didn't you state your identity? - What's happening, Officer Bai?

None of your business!

Let's go.

I didn't see the need to. I was there for personal reasons.

Besides, I didn't think I'd be crossing paths with you guys.

You may be an officer

but you concealed your identity, obstructed justice

and publicly assaulted an officer!

I should arrest you just with that alone.

It was a misunderstanding.

Besides, I helped you guys catch the escaped criminal

and recover the goods.

Consider that making amends.

Isn't that your obligation as a police officer anyway?

I hate female officers the most.

What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say that again.

As an officer, your reflex just now was completely unacceptable.

If I were a criminal, that would have allowed me to escape already.

I don't need you to lecture me.

- Let go. - You let go first.

You let go first!
