【BM SUB】The Wanted Detective 定风波 EP01 | Wang Xingyue ❤️🩹 Xiang Hanzhi | iQIYI Malaysia
[The Wanted Detective] As silk is stained with blood and old grudges, [Capital of Qi] souls break beneath the iron rule of law. In the halls of power, lie secret weapons lurking in the dark. Dark relics haunt the land, corrupting the heart in an instant. The Emperor of Qi, [Lang Hua Pavilion] in honor of the 48 loyal ministers who had served the court for many years, ordered the construction of
a tall pavilion [In harmony with heaven and earth] and named it Lang Hua Pavilion. Within the pavilion, one’s position is set by order of merit. Among them, the top-ranked ministers are Lu Wenzhong, [Lu Wenzhong] Qin Ye, Fan Jingzhi, and Shen Bi, who served as senior aides to the Emperor. However, something extremely strange happened in front of everyone when
the Emperor brought his ministers to visit Lang Hua Pavilion on the day of its opening. Tears of blood flowed from the statues of
the 4 distinguished ministers. This is a bad omen. The Emperor ordered all who knew to stay silent. But in the next few days, all 4 ministers met with misfortune one after another. As the bandits plague Suizhou,
people are suffering. Our disaster relief must be executed quickly. Rest assured, My Lord, we’ll ride at full speed and arrive within three days. My Lord! -My Lord!
-My Lord! My Lord! -My Lord!
-My Lord! [Yesha] Master, this summer heat is unbearable. You should rest early. [Qin Residence] It’s okay. Open the window for some fresh air. Yes. Master! Master! Master! Help! Help! Hurry! Master is on fire! Go! Save Master! [Yesha] [Fan Residence] Three senior aides died mysterious, horrible deaths, [Yesha] causing panic throughout
the imperial court of Qi. Meanwhile, among the people, strange phenomena have been appearing too. With Yesha’s descent,
the Qi Kingdom will be doomed. Look. Why is it turning red? Blood is seeping. What’s going on? Why is there so much blood? [Calming Waves] [Episode 1] All right, all right. Let’s eat. -Put it away.
-Okay. Slowly. Put it away. Put everything back in its place. Beiming, how is it? Have you found any clues? W-What is this? Husk residue. Get Lin Kang here. You are Lin Shu’s cousin, Lin Kang? You said that after Lin Shu was paralyzed due to illness, his temperament changed and became violent as he was full of despair and was unwilling to live on. So he begged you to help him end his life. After repeated pleas, you ended his pain to preserve his dignity. Yes. My Lord, you are wise. You’re lying. If you really could not bear to do it, you must have been panicking. Each stab should have been unpredictable. But after the coroner examined the body, the wounds on the victim were found to have concentrated on the left chest. There were no other wounds elsewhere. It only goes to show how calm and collected you were
when you stabbed him. Also, you chose to kill him on a rainy day was because you wanted to use the sound of the thunderstorm
to cover up the murder. My Lord, Lin Shu and I were like real brothers. After Lin Shu was paralyzed, I took care of him personally. I prepared all his meals meticulously. With all I have done for him, how could I possibly murder him? Meticulous? But why is it that I found husk residue within the bed crevice? You ate lavishly yourself, while he’s been fed worse than a beggar. Besides, the coroner found that his back and bum were full of sores. Is this your so-called meticulous care? You said Lin Shu changed a lot. But even with his lower body is paralyzed, he stretched his arm to feed the sparrows on the windowsill with his own meagre rations. He was that kind. And yet you said he was
being violent and unpredictable? No, this is just your speculation! After Lin Shu was paralyzed, you moved into the Lin Mansion and lived like you were the Master. You dismissed his servants and tortured him. Seeing how strong-willed he was to live, you then thought of killing him. After Lin Shu died, you couldn’t even wait past
the seventh day before hurrying to
have the title deed changed. The transaction date of the deed [Seller: Lin Shu, Buyer: Lin Kang] is clearly written here. What else do you have to deny? Lin Kang, you were completely heartless in your killing of Lin Shu. You did so not to end his pain, but because you were plotting to take over his property. Finish your noodles and let’s go quickly. That man is covered in blood. Let’s go. Let’s go. Elite Constabulary Unit? They came so fast. Beiming. Senior. Waiter. Two more bowls of noodles. Ok, Constable Xiao. [Yangchun Noodles] Constable Xiao? Constable Xiao? I’m Xiao Beiming. [Elite Constabulary Unit’s Xiao Beiming] -Constable Xiao.
-Constable Xiao. [Yangchun Noodles] Lin Kang has been taken back
to conclude the case. But the higher-ups are pressing on the case of Scholar Zhang. How long has the body been parked
in the morgue? One day and one night. His family is anxious and is demanding answers from us. We are almost done. Jiang Yi. I’ll go return the body now. Go arrest him. Scholar Zhang did suffocate to death. But it’s not because of a lung disease, but poison. I found a bite mark of a rat on his feet. A rat? It’s no ordinary rat, but a rare poisonous rat called Blue-Eyed Silver Rat. This rat’s poison can cause difficulty breathing and eventually suffocate to death. It looks just like a lung disease. And this poison cannot be detected with the usual methods. We have to wait for a day and a night. Jiang Yi. Go back and press a bun on the wound. If the bun turns black, we can catch them. Arrest who? The Blue-Eyed Silver Rat loves to eat
purple snakeberries. In the whole Zhang Mansion, only his wife’s nails were purple. That rat should be in an earthen pot in her room. Be careful when you arrest her. Don’t get bitten. I’ll get going. That courtesan case caused quite a stir not long ago. Using the statement from her neighbor Niu Lao’er, I sketched out a potrait of this thief. Take a look. Should we put up a citywide manhunt notice? You can put it up,
but there’s no need for a search. Why? Because there is no such person. The wound on the courtesan’s neck didn’t have any outward-tearing flesh. Yet the flesh atop the head was torn and turned outward. It means she died of a head injury, but someone disguised it as a throat slit. There was a knife at the scene, but there were no blood stains
at the point of impact. If that’s the case, she didn’t die at home. Then who could be the murderer? Since the crime scene is fake, the man who claimed to have seen a robber entering a house and killing her, and even saw the robber’s true identity, is also fake. Niu Lao’er? Put this sketch up. When he sees it, he will think that we believe him. He will then let his guard down to go and retrieve the loot he had stolen and hidden away. I’ll go keep an eye on him and catch him red-handed. Beiming. You’re something. [Yangchun Noodles] Waiter, the bill please. Constable Xiao. Constable Xiao. All this only costs 10 copper coins. I’m afraid— Take it. This silver is for you. For me? Your eyes are bloodshot. Clearly, you lack rest. You’ve got herbal residue on
your sleeves and chest. It should be from by decocting
and feeding medicine all night. Normally, your mother will be here to prep the vegetables
for you. But I haven’t seen her these days. If I’m right, she must be sick. Constable Xiao, you’re right. My mother has been
seriously ill these days. I just wanted to sell
more bowls of noodles to save money for her medicine. But I can’t accept your money. Take it. Use it on your mother. Don’t delay her treatment. Thank you, Constable Xiao. Beiming! An envoy from the palace says you and Master are to enter
the palace at once. This is the dossier. [Dossier of the Yesha case] Constable Xiao, looking at your bloody clothes, I thought a fugitive might have escaped from the prison. Constable Zhuge. [Secret Investigation Unit’s
Zhuge Kongyun] His Majesty entrusts
all murder and major cases in the capital to us, the Elite Constabulary Unit. It’s so exhausting. I would love to be like your Secret Investigation Unit, hiding within the taverns eating, drinking and having fun all day. How chill and relaxing. His Majesty hasn’t decided who will be in charge of this case. Otherwise, you wouldn’t see me here. Of course, but this time, it’s likely going to be a futile trip just as it was before. You don’t really think you’ll keep winning all the time, do you? That’s not all that difficult. Clothes, please. Your Majesty. The rascal Yesha killed our officials in public, causing public outrage and spreading fear among the people, His evil deed deserves condemnation. The Secret Investigation Unit
is willing to arrest Yesha, [Chief of Secret Investigation Unit,
Zhuge Tong] in order to ease your burden. Your Majesty. The Elite Constabulary Unit is in charge of
all criminal cases in the capital. This case should rightfully [Chief of Elite Constabulary Unit,
Zhong Yunchi] be handled by us. The safety of court officials has always been the responsibility
of the Secret Investigation Unit. This case should be handled by us. Enough. Stop arguing. What matters most now is to solve this case quickly. I actually have a suggestion. Let the Secret Investigation Unit
and the Elite Constabulary Unit jointly investigate the case. What do you think? Your Majesty,
I don’t think it’s advisable. With too many people involved, we might alert the culprit. The Secret Investigation Unit
is willing to take the case alone. Just give us one month, and we will surely solve it. With a killer like Yesha, one month from now, who knows how many of my trusted ministers will still be alive? Ten days. Your Majesty, I only need ten days. Very well. Then— Three days. Your Majesty, I can solve the case in just three days. Xiao Beiming. This is the imperial court. How dare you boast so recklessly
before His Majesty? Xiao Beiming, I’ve heard of your deeds. Lately, you’ve unraveled
case after case of great mystery. truly a rare talent of great value to the Qi Kingdom. However, is a three-day time limit not rather too rash a decision? I’m not being rash, Your Majesty. It’s just that in three days, I have a wedding. I cannot afford any delays. Thus, I shall need no more than three days to uncover the truth. Beiming. Very well. Three days it is. If there is still no progress in the case after three days, you will not be spared. Yes, Your Majesty. Sit down and have some tea. Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, my young disciple was being too arrogant. This case is definitely
more complicated than it appears. Three days are far too short. If I may speak boldly, I suspect Yesha is connected to what happened
in Sea Cliff all those years ago… Insolence! Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Zhong Yunchi, don’t forget. I spared your life for a reason. I dare not. I admit my guilt. As for the past, don’t let me hear another word about it. Yes. We, the Elite Constabulary Unit, will spare no effort to capture Yesha as quickly as possible. As for the events of that year, not a whisper will leak. The prosperity of the Qi Kingdom
was hard-won. We must not let criminals use this as a chance to stir up chaos and shatter our peace. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I stake my life on it. If I do not solve the case,
I’ll answer with my death. Once the culprit is caught, execute him on the spot, without delay. Yes, Your Majesty. [Zuixian Restaurant] This way, gentlemen. -Chief.
-Chief. Go on. -Chief.
-Chief. They’re actually letting Xiao Beiming do as he pleases? And he dared to
promise a three-day resolution? Let’s just wait and see how this all blows up in their faces. I know Xiao Beiming well. That man is arrogant and prideful, full of himself because of his talent. But he would never do
something foolish
without absolute confidence. For him to be so calm and sure, he must already have a plan in mind. Yun, keep a close eye on
the Elite Constabulary Unit. If there’s any unusual movement, report it to me immediately. Understood. [Elite Constabulary Unit] Master, I just— Do you know that among the people,
rumors are spreading that Yesha is a vengeful spirit? Every official whose name was recorded
at Lang Hua Pavilion now lives in fear. Yesha operates in a high-profile way and is skilled at misdirection. There’s no way he’d be an ordinary person. So how dare you make such bold claims before His Majesty, promising to solve the case in three days? If you can’t find a clue in three days, that’s tantamount
to deceiving His Majesty. Master, please don’t be angry. The reason I dared make such a promise is because I already have a plan to solve the case. What plan? After the statue wept blood, has anyone entered the place? On the day of the incident, His Majesty ordered
the bloodstains on the statue to be cleaned immediately. Besides me, no one else has entered since. Thank you. When did you recognize me? The moment I saw you. Then why did you fight me? You looked like
you were having so much fun. I figured I’d spar with you a bit. So just now, you let me win on purpose? Come on, between the two of us, when have I ever beaten you in a match? [Zhong Xueman
from Elite Constabulary Unit] Weren’t you afraid you’d fall off the edge and die? I knew you’d catch me. Yes. Oh sure, you know everything. There’s nothing in this world
you don’t know. Xueman, did you sneak out behind Master’s back to investigate this case? Why should you be allowed to investigate but not me? I’m acting on imperial orders. And I’m also a constable
in the Elite Constabulary Unit. Well… Are you going to argue here, or would you rather explain yourself in front of Master? You weren’t allowed to investigate because we’re worried about your safety. I’m sending you back. Don’t use my dad to pressure me. You promised me. After we’re married, you’d let me investigate cases with you. So what now? Going back on your word? I… Xueman. Stop messing around. Come down. Let’s go home. Even you think I’m messing around. I… You know full well how hard I’ve worked these past years to become a constable. Passing the assessment wasn’t easy for me. I thought I could finally
put my skills to use, solve cases and help people. But just because I’m a girl, all of you are coddling me and won’t let me investigate the cases. Some even gossip behind my back, saying I only became a constable because my father
is the King of Constables. Xueman, we stop you from investigating because we’re afraid you’ll get hurt. As for what outsiders say— Outsiders? I don’t care about their opinions. This is something I need to do. If even you think I’m messing around, and you won’t take me along— I… I’ll figure it out myself. I want the world to know that even a woman can become an outstanding constable. You definitely can. I’ve never doubted that. It’s just that this case is too unusual. Yesha is extremely dangerous. You saw it yourself. Come on. Xueman. Alright. I was wrong. I’ll take you with me
to investigate, alright? Now wipe those tears. What kind of constable cries on the job? Gotcha! You promised me. It’s a deal. No backing out. Zhong Xueman. You… Where are the blood tears? Someone wiped them away. Now how are we supposed to investigate? Every crime has a motive. There’s definitely more to this
than it seems. Do you believe in ghosts? My dad said, tales of spirits and monsters
can’t be trusted. All the strange things in the world
come from what’s in people’s hearts. Exactly. Every crime has a motive. Do you know what “Yesha” means? There’s a folk tale that goes: When someone dies
harboring deep resentment, their soul cannot find rest
or reincarnate. Instead, they become a vengeful spirit,
trapped among the living. When that hatred
runs as deep as the ocean, and their wrath fills the very heavens, they are called Yesha. It’s said that Yesha claims lives without leaving a trace. Beiming, you’re better at solving cases than I am, but when it comes to popular stories
and legends, I’ve read way more than you. Besides, Yesha killed several officials but didn’t take any valuables. So it wasn’t for money, but for revenge. Am I right? Partially. I think everything Yesha has done so far was to spread rumors. If it were just for revenge, there was no need to tamper with the statue. He wants everyone to believe that Yesha has come, and the fall of the Qi Kingdom is near. This person’s ambitions go far beyond a few lives. But he caused such a big mess. Isn’t he afraid that if he fails, he’ll fall into our hands? Yesha prides himself on his cleverness, thinking he’s planned every move. But there’s one thing he didn’t account for. What’s that? Me. So is it him that’s arrogant, or you? Don’t worry. I’ll outwit him. Let’s go. Go where? It’s already dark. Home, of course. But we haven’t found anything yet. Even so, we need some rest. Tomorrow morning, we’ll head to Mandarin Duck Restaurant. For what? Is there a case
at Mandarin Duck Restaurant too? We’re going there to get someone her favorite treat, the very first batch of
peach blossom pastries. Xueman. Forceps. Catch it. [Yesha] Mr. Shen, even though you’ve been reassigned, [Shen Mansion] your safety must come first. Please report to His Majesty and stay in the capital for now. Ridiculous! If Yesha really wants to kill me, how long can you guard me for? One year? Or ten years? Am I to live my entire life under your watch, like one of your prisoners? Enough. I am willing to devote my remaining years to the good of the nation. Tomorrow morning, I must leave for my new post. Mr. Shen. Master. Mr. Shen is right. Keeping him here won’t change anything. Beiming. Master, I have a plan that can ensure Mr. Shen’s safety. Xiao Beiming ran all over the city today, but it was all just a blur. What useful leads could he possibly find? Even though His Majesty assigned this case
to the Elite Constabulary Unit, we of the Secret Investigation Unit must not stand idly by. For years, the Elite Constabulary Unit has been outshining us. If they crack this case, our future will be even bleaker. You’re right, Father. This case is of great importance. If we can solve it before Xiao Beiming does, His Majesty will surely reward us, not punish us. It’s a golden opportunity. We must seize it. But since the case has already been handed over
to the Elite Constabulary Unit, we can’t conduct an open investigation. So how are we supposed to gather clues? Why did you support [Shen Mansion] Mr. Shen’s departure from the capital? Once he’s gone, we won’t be able to protect him. Tomorrow is the third day. If something happens, we’ll be in trouble. Of course I know that. Then you…
So you need to find Master as soon as possible and stay at the Shen Mansion with them to ensure Mr. Shen’s safety. Are you hiding something from me? Of course not. By the way, Xueman, do you have any money on you? Since you’re not telling me anything, I won’t give you any money. It’s not that I’m hiding it. The time just isn’t right yet. I have something important to do, and I’ll explain everything
once I’m back, okay? Beiming. [Shen Mansion] Fang Yin’s in trouble at the gambling den. Xueman, I really have to go. I’ll talk to you later. Wait… [Shen Mansion] Money! Don’t move. I will pay you back! I swear in the name of the Elite Constabulary Unit. Let me go. Your savior’s here. Beiming! Beiming, help me! Zhuge is going to chop off my finger! Spill it. What scheme are you playing this time? Your junior bet against me and lost 500 taels. Now he says he doesn’t have the money. By the rules of the gambling den, he’s got to chop off five fingers to pay his debt. Beiming. Don’t believe him! He set me up! I told you not to move! Five hundred taels? Even if I sold
all of the Elite Constabulary Unit’s land, I still couldn’t pay that back. Five fingers for 500 taels? That’s a fair trade. Chop them off. Xiao Beiming. How could you say that? My uncle is the deputy chief
of the Elite Constabulary Unit. If you stand by and do nothing, he won’t let you off! What kind of nonsense is that? You walked right into a trap yourself. How could your uncle blame me for that? Besides, that’s 500 taels. Five fingers? That’s a bargain. If I were Mr. Zhuge, I’d take all ten. Beiming, he is our colleague. Please help him out. Senior. This bastard always uses his uncle’s position to cause us trouble. If he loses his hand, he can’t be a constable anymore. That would save us a lot of headaches when solving cases. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Xiao Beiming, you’re heartless! Gag him and chop his fingers off. Don’t… Don’t… I didn’t do anything! Coward. Mr. Zhuge, what does that mean? Is this a great act of mercy? You’re just using me
to eliminate your rival. I won’t fall for that. Come on, your grudge is with him. What does that have to do with me? Alright, let’s drop the act. You knew I was using him to lure you out. Since I’m clearly the target, let’s not beat around the bush. Let’s settle this today once and for all. And don’t you dare touch my fellow disciples again. As long as you cooperate. Deal. If you ever step into
the gambling den again, I’ll break your legs. G-Got it. I won’t do it again. Send him back. Let’s go. You… [Gambling] Alright, now it’s just the two of us. Let’s make a bet. How? It’s simple. Highest roll wins. If you lose, you give me all the clues you have on the Yesha case. So straightforward? Schemes are boring against someone like you. Let’s keep it direct. But what if you lose? Are these enough? What do you think? Just a little wager. If I dared to invite you into my game, then I’m ready to accept your stakes too. I’m just worried you can’t handle losing. You’ve known me for years. Have you ever seen me lose? Then what’s your stake? You know I’m getting married in a few days. If you lose, you’ll lead the bridal horse for Xueman and me on our wedding day. Fine. [Shen Mansion] [Noble in Conduct] Xueman. You lost. [Gambling] Hurry, open it! Open it! Open it! Open it! Alright, find a quiet place and tell me everything you know about the case. Zhuge Kongyun, do you know why you’ve never been able to beat me all these years? Because you’re too impatient. This… He shattered the dice. You cheated! We never set rules,
so how can there be cheating? You… You’re right. I admit defeat. Winning against you was too easy. Tell you what, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll give you one clue—free of charge. No tricks. What is it? Mr. Shen is leaving the capital tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. Zhuge. Be sure to show up early on my wedding day to feed the horse. My horse is pretty stupid. Tripping over itself is a regular thing. [Hongyuan Casino] There’s still some left. Everyone will get a share. Come on, one by one. Be careful. -Thank you for your kindness.
-Thank you. Here. You’re so kind. Everyone will get a share. Here. Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, sir. Feeling proud of yourself? X-Xueman? Why are you here? Everyone’s on high alert at Shen Mansion. They don’t even dare blink, worried something might go wrong. Yet you dare sneak off
to fool around here? Xueman, don’t be mad. It wasn’t my idea. He dragged me here. Zhuge Peacock,
what do you think you’re doing? You know we’re in the middle of an important case, yet you bring Beiming to gamble? Even if the Secret Investigation Unit doesn’t care about the bigger picture, and you’re rotten enough to pull tricks, at least pick your timing! Use your brain! Believe it or not, I’ll teach you a lesson
on your dad’s behalf. Exactly! At a time like this, you still drag me to gamble? Confucius was right— “Only women and petty men
are hard to deal with.” Fine. I won’t waste my time on you two. Goodbye. -Hey, you!
-Calm down, Xueman. [Hongyuan Casino] The next time I see him, I’ll curse him until his ears fall off, alright? Why haven’t you left yet? I took a wrong turn. Is that a crime? Xiao Beiming, you should know the road out of the capital is the perfect opportunity for Yesha to strike Mr. Shen. The Elite Constabulary Unit alone probably isn’t enough to guarantee a win. This is a gamble. With Mr. Shen’s life at stake. Yours and your master’s might be next. No. It’s Yesha’s life on the line. Xiao Beiming, no one can win forever. If you lose this time, you’ll be doomed. Then let’s wait and see. Maybe it’ll be even easier than beating you. See you. [Hongyuan Casino] Since we were kids, Zhuge Peacock has never had a nice thing to say. Enough about him. Xueman, why were you looking for me? Weren’t you planning
to borrow money from me? Mr. Zhuge has already been kind enough to help me out. Is he that kind-hearted? He gave this as a wedding gift,
and it’s not a small sum. Oh right, you head back
to the Shen Mansion first. I still have some matters to take care of. But… Don’t worry. [Hongyuan Casino] [Shen Mansion] What a cunning getaway. Which carriage should we follow? That one. That one? Why? The attendant on that carriage is Zhong Xueman in disguise. Xiao Beiming would never leave Zhong Xueman to face danger alone. He must be in that carriage. [Prosperous People, Strong Nation] Stay alert! Hold this for me. Excuse me, sir, may I ask what’s going on up ahead? You don’t know? Mr. Qian is hosting a birthday banquet just up the street. Anyone who visits and says a few auspicious words gets a red envelope. No time to talk. If I’m late, I’ll miss out! Such a lively scene. Li Long, go get some men
from the Secret Investigation Unit. What’s wrong, Young Master? That big crowd earlier wasn’t normal. It’s very likely Yesha has already seen through the decoy of the four carriages. If they’re going to strike, going out of the city
is the best time to act. Why are we helping the Elite Constabulary Unit? We are helping ourselves. If Xiao Beiming tries to make a getaway, we’ll wait to ambush him from behind. Brilliant plan, Young Master. Beiming, we’re about to leave the city. Be careful. The real danger starts once we’re outside. Got it. Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen! What happened? Just now, amid the confusion, someone shot a steel needle through the window, piercing Mr. Shen’s vital point. He died instantly, without a sound. Yesha is a true master of hidden weapons. Xiao Beiming, you lost the bet this time.
