Detective Chinatown (唐人街探案)

It was Wednesday,

business was slow.

The last table left the restaurant

just before midnight.

I was catching the last train home,

there was barely anyone on the platform.

I was listening to music while waiting for the train

just like any other day.

But before the music ended

I, unexpectedly…

… unexpectedly heard...

Heard what?

the sutra.

The sutra?

Yes, the sutra.

I'm certain that it was the sound of the sutra reading.

And that sound became louder

and louder.

It was so loud that I couldn't even hear my music.

It was so loud that I couldn't even hear my music.

At first, I thought

there was something wrong with my phone.

I was about to check it,

and all of a sudden...

all of a sudden someone shoved me hard from behind.

all of a sudden someone shoved me hard from behind.

I fell

on the tracks.

I endured the pain and wanted to yell for help,

but I was not able to make a sound no matter how hard I tried.

but I was not able to make a sound no matter how hard I tried.

I was watching the train

getting closer and closer,

yet I felt like someone was

pinning my body to the ground.

I had neither the strength to call for help

nor the strength to get up.

The train was about to hit me

thankfully …

thankfully, at that moment I heard Mr. Su Tai's shout.

thankfully, at that moment I heard Mr. Su Tai's shout.

He pulled me back up on the platform

just before the train could hit me.

Did you see the person who pushed you?

There was no one there.

How do you know there wasn't anyone there?

Officer,

the police told me

there was no one behind me.

We did tell her that.

The woman's name is Ah Wen,

a week ago she claimed that

someone pushed her onto train tracks.

But we looked through

the subway's CCTV footage.

There was no one behind her.

There was nobody there.

That's weird.

It can't be a ghost.

Why me?

The jumping off the building suicide case from three days ago.

The victim's husband

mentioned that the victim

also heard the sound of the sutra reading.

The superiors thought

there might be some paranormal events going on，

so we are here to investigate.

Why me?

We have an agreement with your detective agency.

Tang Ren promised the police office

to work on our cases without charge after the Gold Killer Case.

to work on our cases without charge after the Gold Killer Case.

20 cases, free of charge.

Whenever we are swamped with cases or lacking police officers

Whenever we are swamped with cases or lacking police officers

or if there are cases that we don't want to take on,

or if there are cases that we don't want to take on,

as well as small cases，

we will hand them off to your agency.

You work for us

for

free.

How many are there left?

Only one.

Your agency only worked on one.

Still 19 to go.

Where is Tang Ren?

He is in America,

I brought his apprentice with me.

His apprentice?

When is he coming back?

Do you also think

this is ghost related?

I'm the chief of police,

there is no way I'm believing this is paranormal activity

Then why did you go to Zhengwang Temple to burn incense,

if you don't believe it?

How dare you follow me?

Even though you changed into uniform,

there's wax oil residue in your hair

and your hair smells like sandalwood incense.

The mud on your shoes

suggests that you either went to the riverbank

or you took the boat.

Your mouth and your fingers smell like roasted corn.

Your mouth and your fingers smell like roasted corn.

The Zhengwang Temple by the river

and the famous Happy Roasted Corns at the entrance of the Zhengwang Temple.

All the evidence indicates that you went to the temple

and bought a roasted corn when you left.

Then you ate the corn alone on the boat.

Am I right?

Excuse me,

I need to make a phone call.

Chief.

Shut up.

Smell me.

What do you smell?

The smell of a man.

What else?

Still the smell of a man!

What's up, you missing your master?

I …

Don't worry,

I have already arrived in America.

Did you promise the police office

to work on 20 cases?

I already cracked

the biggest one.

There shouldn't be anything big left.

You can casually deal with it.

Can't you see I'm busy?

Can't you see I'm busy?

Once I solve this case here

and get the 5 million dollars payment.

I will treat you

when I'm back .

How is it possible that he can detect the smell

even a sniffer dog can't detect?

Who is he?

I ran a background check on him before.

He was a chemistry teacher,

and he started working with Tang Ren one month ago.

Lin Hei Gou.

It's Quan.

Lin Hei Quan (Black Dog),

Hei and Quan together read Mo.

Lin Mo.

Lin Mo.

A case like this,

don't put in too much effort investigating.

Rather than hearing the sutra reading then getting pushed by someone.

I'd say she probably tripped and fell.

And the video clip of the suicide case

was extremely clear.

I don't even know why we are still on it.

I personally hate

these paranormal superstitions the most.

Unless I run into

something exceedingly difficult.

Forget it.

Don't come looking for me.

The boss already handed the case off

to my goddess.

Remember!

She is my goddess.

Don't you dare flirt with her

just because you think you look good.

The headquarters dispatched her here.

Officer Sasha.

Do you know each other?

Do we know each other?

No, we don't.

That sounds about right.

This is Chinatown's

No.1 detective Tang Ren's

top apprentice,

Lin Mo.

He will assist you on this case.

Hello, Detective Lin.

This is the new colleague

I just mentioned to you earlier,

Officer Sasha.

Hello,

Officer Sasha.

Detective Lin seems very shy.

Why is he being shy?

Why are you being shy?

I'm not shy.

He is not shy.

Your palm is sweaty.

Palm?

Why is your palm sweaty?

The weather is hot.

I think you have weak kidneys.
