Detective Dee and Deadly Fragrance (狄仁杰之夺命奇香)

A female ghost?

There's a female ghost in Luoyang?

Rumor has it that

An Yu's ghost has come back for revenge.

Do you believe it?

Of course not.

You trained me yourself.

As a fourth-rank General of Thousand Bull Guard,

Can't you see that in this room

there's murderous peril in every corner?

Did you notice

the waiter who's pouring water

has calluses all over his hands,

and he's a hunchback.

When he walks, he's obviously bowlegged.

I think he's a cavalryman

who always holds a Tang Sword.

And look at the three opposite us.

They look like merchants,

but they are not eating at all.

They must be afraid

that if they are too full,

it'll be inconvenient to fight later.

The most obvious are

those two blockheads behind the counter.

Look at his smile.

It's so fake.

He might as well write "warrior" on his forehead.

Is the news Dee Renjie passes by today

accurate or not?

Yes,

i-it's

accurate.

But look at these two who came today.

Neither of them look like the portait.

The sun is setting,

so no one will come now.

In my opinion,

let's kill both of them.

Clean and neat!

Move

is not wise.

Can you speak more quickly?

Why are you

so

so impatient?

How can I not be?

He'll run away after dinner.

Our big brother said

you're too,

too,

too impulsive.

You have to listen to

my commands this time.

I'm not convinced.

I'm higher-ranked than you.

You could stutter

for an hour when you order.

I'll go there now.

Take the hint.

Why bother?

In my opinion,

we just go and give them one hammer each.

I don't care which one is Dee Renjie.

Sir,

what do you need?

I need some vinegar.

Sure,

help yourself.

It is quite

urgent.

I hate it the most when people slap my face.

Sir.

You...

What else

do you want?

Soy sauce.

Since I was little,

only my father slapped me twice.

If you dare to slap my face again,

I'll send you to meet my father.

Sir,

what,

what do you want?

Can't you take them all at once?

I come to pay the bill.

No, no, no,

let me pay.

How can I let you pay?

If you pay for it,

it's like you slapping my face.

How dare you slap me?

I hate it the most when people

slap my face.

Since I was little,

only my father slapped me twice.

If you dare to hit me again,

I'll send you to meet my father.

They are fighting.

Stop fighting!

He...

he ran away!

Chase him!

Go! Go!

Get your weapons.

Give me my hammer.

Stop!

Where are you going?

Stop!

Run!

Hammer!

Give me the hammer.

Oh my god!

What a knife that is!

Do you come to dig the vegetables?

Go! Hurry! Go!

San Gou.

Hammer! Give me the hammer!

Hammer! Hammer!

Get down and pick it up.

Yes.

Go!

My Lord.

Go!

Hurry up.

Coming.

He ran away.

Chase him!

Yes.

Go! -Stop!

Stop! Stop!

You can't escape.

This is literally Down Horse Hill.

This is the fifth murder.

The victim of this morning was

Yang Fuwen, the owner of Baixiang Brothel.

The others are the Supervisor of Officials, Han Xiaosheng,

Head of Secretariat, Zhao Chongyuan,

The assistant minister Gao Sheng,

and the painter Liu Tang.

After their death, all of

their hearts and livers were scooped out.

Your Majesty,

I interrogated Wen Da personally.

He did see An Yu's ghost.

She must be An Yu.

I saw it clearly.

She was five steps away from me.

Just five steps!

Besides Wen Da,

two other people

also saw An Yu's ghost.

An Yu was beheaded in public a year ago

because of writing revolting poems.

Before she was beheaded, she

cursed five people who squealed on her.

She claimed she'd never forgive them, even as a ghost,

and she'll cut out their hearts and livers.

Now these five people were oddly murdered,

while An Yu's ghost

does appear in Luoyang City.

Your Majesty,

since the Highest Judiciary can't find any clues,

the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs would like to take this case.

If we can't solve it within ten days,

I'm willing to hand over my seal of Minister.

You are not good at solving cases.

If you can't solve the case within ten days,

I'm afraid those who already hated you

will seize the chance to accuse you.

I just want to do my best for Wu Zhou.

I don't care about

my personal honor.

Then I'll give you permission.

I have another request.

Go ahead.

I heard that a few months ago,

Your Majesty pardoned Dee Renjie and

allowed him back from his exile outside the Pass.

He should be here in a few days.

You want Dee Renjie to help you investigate?

I beg for your permission, Your Majesty.

I heard Dee Renjie would be back soon.

I've made thorough arrangements

so that Dee Renjie

will never come to Luoyang alive.

You can't leave.

You stole my pearl!

Nonsense. I didn't steal it.

Then let me search you.

Let go!

Lv... Lv Zhaoyuan.

I'm here.

Time to work.

How is it?

He really doesn't have the pearl.

This crazy dog is biting people at random.

Wait.

Goodbye.

The pearl indeed isn't with him? -Take care.
