Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Ready 2 DIE @ Viki

There is a pointless number for statistics.

For every second in this world, 4,8 people are born and 1,8 dies.

This means that for each moment you blink your eyes, two people just died.

Death is something that happens easily. Killing...

is also something very easy.

My name is Xue Xin. I am a writer of detective novels.

In the past few years, I have been playing a secret game with Ji Lu.

We created all kinds of puzzles and sent to each other to solve.

After solving the puzzle, he would then send back the answer with a new puzzle.

So we repeated the process.

This game continued for a few years. I just couldn't come up with a puzzle that he wouldn't be able to solve.

It's actually quite simple.

As long as he never replies to me, then I win.

I have always wanted to be like the characters I wrote

to carry out a perfect crime.

And my target is my long-term pen pal, Ji Lu.

There is no fingerprint, blood stain, footprint, or motive.

It's a model murder in a locked room.

It's been a week since I killed Ji Lu.

I didn't encounter any issue. Just like how I planned.

My plan for a perfect murder

can be considered as flawless,

until...

I received a letter from him again.

The date of sending the letter

was two days after I killed him.

Xue Xin. How are you?

By the time you received this letter, I should be no longer alive in this world.

Then I ask you to solve this final puzzle.

Xue Xin, about this puzzle, you must feel really proud about yourself, right?

Because not only you sent it to Ji Lu, you also used it in your novel.

However, it's too bad that this exposed you.

So you guys wrote this letter!

To piece together a letter from Ji Lu's manuscripts is not a very difficult task.

Don't you use this kind of tactics in your detective stories?

Cut!

We got this one. Let's take a look of the replay.

It's fine.

Everything is all right?

Is this really adapted from a true case?

- It feels little forced. - Xia Chi Baby,

the shot a moment ago was just fantastic.

Qing Zhi, I discovered

your side profile is just too perfect.

Hurry over here to take a look.

My name is Xia Chi, a member of the mystery fiction club at Jing Nang University.

- This shot before was moved from the left to the right. - This heartless person,

is Meng Qin, the President of our mystery fiction club.

Actually, I really have no interested in this mystery fiction club.

The main reason I joined the mystery fiction club is

Didn't this shot make you look especially beautiful?

because of my girlfriend, Qing Zhi. She is also here.

Of course, if we don't have this third wheel in the middle, it would have been even better.

Everyone, we will call it the day. Everyone worked hard.

- You worked hard. - Let's continue tomorrow.

Let's get some rest.

Isn't there another scene of hugging?

Everything went so smoothly today. Your director here is feeling great.

Isn't it great to release you early so that you can spend time with your goddess?

Where is your goddess?

Your goddess runs away in a hurry, doesn't she?

It's all because you removed a scene without reason.

Hurry up to go after her.

Remember to change your clothes.

Qing Zhi.

- Let me take you back to the dorm. - Mmm.

What Meng Qin said is right.

From the first time I saw her at the front gate of the university,

Qing Zhi became my goddess.

- Fill out the form. - Give it to me first. - Mystery fiction club?

I will join. My name is Qing Zhi.

I joined the mystery fiction club for her. I went to self-study sessions for her.

I even jogged for her.

I planned originally to confess to her during the jog,

but I didn't expect

she was so good at jogging.

Qing Zhi, Qing Zhi!

I agree.

Agree to what?

Agree to be your girlfriend.

The lucky me has been with Qing Zhi for more than a month. However, I don't know why

we two have not even held hands.

Qing Zhi... Qing Zhi.

I found out that your name is especially pretty.

Qing Zhi, just like the cicada on a sunny day.

Yours also sounds very nice. Light sprint in a summer day.

- Suddenly I remember-- - Don't touch me!

I am sorry.

Are we going to keep this safe distance forever?

How can I do this naturally?

Never mind. Just do it like this.

Isn't she just too alert?

Qing Zhi,

Could I just give up like this?

No way. As a man, I must be more decisive.

Xia Chi, don't be afraid. You just have to extend your hand and decisively...

Xia Chi baby. Listen.

For the scene tomorrow, I plan to make you and Qing Zhi as a

police couple.

What do you think about that?

Meng Qin, aren't you going back to the dorm to find all the materials?

So I'm disturbing you? Qing Zhi, you be the judge.

For Xia Chi baby to mistreat single animals like this,

is it appropriate?

Then I will return to the dorm first. You guys chat.

So the goddess is the most understanding.

Oh no. Qing Zhi is leaving. I will miss my opportunity if I don't take action.

- Let go. - Let's have lunch this Saturday.

Okay?

A date? Qing Zhi is asking me out on a date first?

The goddess is asking you out first. Hurry up and say yes.

Then Saturday noon at 12, I will wait for you in front of the musical fountain at the lakeside park.

What are you doing standing there?

For a love that lasts an eternity, why would you count days and nights?

And didn't you already have a date on Saturday?

Hey, hey. To be honest, about this mystery fiction of mine,

isn't it cool? This is a true case I stole from my uncle.

Is it really a true case?

Of course.

Is it true that you can use the dead victim's manuscript to make up a letter?

You are indeed a member of my club. You picked on the flaw with just one look. That's right.

I did invent that plot.

I also came up with the perfect motive for the murder.

In fact, this case is even more complicated than my script.

In reality, Xue Xin received the letter from the dead victim, Ji Lu.

It wasn't sent by the police.

Xue Xin and Ji Lu exchanged mails for three years.

He was also a writer of detective novels.

Any small clue could not have escaped his watchful eyes.

Xue Xin studied the letter for three hours straight.

Based on the handwriting, ink, fold lines, tone of the writing, and all other aspects

they all showed that this letter came from Ji Lu.

He even got the fingerprint on the envelop to confirm that

Ji Lu personally sealed the envelop.

There were two other items that came with the letter.

- Don't move. - A card of the size of a typical business card

and a piece of paper filled with secret codes.

Xue Xin admitted his guilt to the crime right away,

but however couldn't remember his own motive for the murder no matter what.

In the final psychiatric evaluation, he was found not to have any mental issues.

So he couldn't escape the penalty from justice.

Even though the case has been closed, Xue Xin's murder motive,

the identity of the sender of this letter,

as well as the meaning of the content of the letter,

remain without any rational explanation until even today.

It does sound quite mysterious.

According to my logical deduction...

Never mind, this is the last thing I would want to figure out.

If someone attempts unnecessarily to discover the truth, he will suffer the same fate,

to be dragged into the endless hell of puzzle.

- I'm back. - Qing Zhi you're back?

- This is a delivery for you. I took it in for you. I'll be going now, bye bye! - Thanks!

Bye bye.

Xue Xin, hello. By the time you receive this letter, I'm probably no longer in the human world.

Then I ask you to solve this final puzzle.

Who is it?

Come on and take a shot at explaining this. Isn't it really mysterious?

Just why did Xue Xin want to kill Ji Lu?

Even he himself couldn't explain it. There's got to be something complicated about it.

Could you at least give me some reaction, okay?

Oh.

Did you take the photo secretly? So innocent.

Hello, Qing Zhi. Xia Chi baby is missing you now.

Hello, Qing Zhi. This is Xia Chi.

- Xia Chi, I received Ji Lu's letter. - What are you talking about, Qing Zhi?

- Hello. - Xia Chi.

Qing Zhi, what happened? Qing Zhi?

Xia Chi.

- Qing Zhi, where are you? Qing Zhi. - Xia Chi.

- Xia Chi, help me. - Wait for me, Qing Zhi. Hello!

Did something happen to Qing Zhi?

The number that you're calling is no long valid. Please dial again.

Hey!

I'm telling you that boy can't enter the girl's dormitory.

I am looking for Qing Zhi at room 2609. She is in danger.

Qing Zhi? There's no one in the Room 2609 named Qing Zhi.

She often gets her express mail here.

- Big eyes, straight hair bank. - Long hair and looks really cute.

You two, stop fooling around. There's no one named Qing Zhi in the girl's dorms.

Why are you trying to sneak into the girl's dormitory?
