My Roommate is a Detective (Min Guo Qi Tan / 民国奇探)

MY ROOMMATE IS A DETECTIVE

Thank you, Inspector Qiao.

Thank you, Inspector Qiao.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You arrested him without any evidence.

Now you can't get anything out of his mouth.

Isn't that embarrassing?

It's just a formality.

And I already sent two patrolmen to follow him.

One of them can read lips.

Read lips?

You idiot!

How can you get caught by the Police Station?

I...

Who said you can speak?

The man said no.

The woman said

“How dare you talk back?”

Rumors said that

Liu Xiangui had a mistress outside.

That's very normal.

All the tycoons have a wife and many mistresses.

He was famous for being henpecked before.

He became who he was today

thanks to your auntie's dowry

and her support behind his back.

Liu Xiangui had been fighting against Mr. Bai for years

while neither could get the upper hand.

But Liu Xiangui was too stupid to do that.

Mr. Bai analyzed the situation and

said there was definitely an adviser behind him.

It's just this person never came to the stage in so many years.

After this time, I think

your auntie was his adviser.

You mean

Liu Xiangui was just a puppet?

After he became a tycoon, he started cheating on her,

but was caught.

So she started her revenge.

I heard that his mistress is a high-end escort girl.

Do you know who she is?

I met her once,

but never spoke with her.

You know her?

We had a meal together,

but nothing happened.

Are you sure?

We went to the movie once.

But we never even held hands.

Are you sure?

Shut your mouth.

Inspector.

This is the transcription of the conversation between Jin Menglan and Wu.

Well done!

They didn't say anything important.

They didn't even mention this case.

My auntie is too unconcerned.

Maybe she realized

someone was eavesdropping.

From the context,

nothing seemed wrong.

Just the ordinary relationship between a boss and the subordinate.

But don't forget

the two of them used to dance check to check.

She can't be so indifferent to him.

This conversation sounded deliberate.

Where are you going?

Visiting a relative.

Just look around.

Take whatever you like.

I have never given you any money at New Years

since you were born.

So let me make up for it this time.

My mind is blown away!

This is not a study.

This is a

small museum.

You silly boy.

Don't be like a bumpkin.

The walls of your home's study

are full of Wu Tao-tzu,

Huai Su, and Yan Zhenqing's

authentic works.

They are priceless.

Those are just papers in my eyes.

I won't want them even for free.

All the porcelains here

were from the official kilns and rewarded by the palace.

Take it if you like it.

I'll have another look.

What is this?

Diamond?

No. It's a sapphire.

How much does it cost for such a big one?

It's not expensive.

But

I can't give you this.

Sapphire

is actually worthless.

Diamonds are more suitable for you.

I'll find you a big diamond.

You don't have to.

Money

is not a problem.

But you have to promise me

that you won't give it to Miss Bai.

That'll be a disgrace.

Fifteen years ago Liu Xiangui spent all his savings

to buy this sapphire

from an Austrian.

How much is it?

Three thousand silver dollars?

Put another two zeros at the end.

You're just bluffing me.

There is no such an expensive gem.

It was part of the dowry

from King Philip IV of Spain

to his daughter at the seventeenth century.

Liu Xiangui polished it into a heart shape

and then made it into two pendants of necklace.

He gave one to Jin Menglan

and kept the other himself.

This buddy spared no effort in pursuing women.

I just checked it out.

Liu Xiangui redeemed his mistress Yanling's

freedom from the brothel three years ago.

Most importantly,

this Yanling had a criminal record of arson.

And you went out with this kind of woman?

Oh, you fatuous soul.

Shut your mouth.

Seven years ago

a customer insulted her.

It was said that Yanling retaliated him by

setting the man on fire.

He was burned seriously

and later died in the hospital

because of the injury.

Why did she get released so soon?

She was not there when the man caught fire.

And there was no direct evidence to prove that

she was the arsonist.

This is the photo of the victim.

Take a look.

Similar to Liu Xiangui's death, right?

Does this mean

we can go to the brothel again?

Go without me.

I don't want to see any women now.

Full of bullshit.

You let me go there alone?

Are you sure?

You just don't want to pay the bill yourself.

Sorry.

I don't know anything.

Come on!

Why did you know everything

when it was Inspector Qiao asking?

Can you be the same as him?

Then I will introduce customers to you.

Then you tell me the whereabouts of Yanling.

Do you think I told Inspector Qiao the truth

just because he introduced me customers?

What else can it be?

Don't you think

he is a man among men?

Have you seen his pectoral muscles, abs

and hairy legs?

Because I have.

I also have hairy legs.

Every time he comes here,

I feel very warm and safe.

I want to talk to him more.

No matter what he wants to know,

I will tell him.

If you help me, I will help you too.

I will ask him to come to see you more often.

When I went to hair salon last month,

I met Yanling once.

She told me she had been

learning how to dance with a French dancer.

She also suggested me going together.

Where is the studio?

French Concession.

Huarong Road, but what's the number again?

Say,

is it possible Inspector Qiao

will come over this weekend?

Sure, he must!

I'll tie him up and send him here if I have to!

No. 23, Huarong Road.

It's time to show my dance skills!

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.
