[When A Snail Falls In Love]
[Episode 8]
Go home and get some sleep.
I'll see you tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. sharp.
Is he on drugs?
I think I'm going to die.
It's not that bad.
You know what?
He grew up with Ye Zi Xi.
He used to get into fights because of her.
After what happened, playing basketball
is probably the healthiest way for him to take out his anger.
Take out his anger?
He's buried Ye Zi Xi's death deep inside his heart.
He won't let himself to be sad.
He's trying to use active sports to suppress his feelings.
His accuracy rate was 100 percent for his first 50 shots.
With his second 50 shots, he missed three shots.
Eight with his third 50 shots.
He didn't make any of the last 50 shots.
I'm not good at basketball, so we almost got thrashed by you.
He didn't give up.
But he didn't play very well.
- He just played a safe game. - That's his normal standard.
He usually begins to play well after he gets into the game.
Normal?
He's using his will power to suppress his emotions in order to stay normal?
That's because he only wants himself to be a police officer.
Not Ji Bai.
So what can we do to stop him from forcing himself to be just a policeman?
There's nothing we can do.
He can only be a police officer for now.
That's so cruel.
He's amazing.
There's a suspect in his heart.
As much as he wants to find the killer in the next minute
he didn't just let his doubts lead his actions.
He didn't even ask everyone to work overtime to rush this case.
He chose to calm down first.
[Brother Lu]
[Cooperation]
[Zhang Shi Yong]
[Partners in crime]
Ye Zi Xi was Zhang Shi Yong's partner in a commercial fraud.
Their group members might have been laundering money for them.
Ma Rong Rong's murder and Ye Zi Xi's murder
should be investigated separately based on leads and evidence.
Once the truth begins to take shape
the evidence will tell us the relationship between them
and produce new results.
I've applied for a search warrant with Commissioner Zhan.
It should be approved tomorrow.
Ask Zhang Shi Yong to come in to assist with our investigation.
Okay.
- How's it going? - Still following him, he's all alone.
He's about to turn onto Riverside Square.
- Okay, let's get him. - Got it.
Officer Xu, you could have called me if you'd wanted to see me.
- Why make such a fuss? - Mr. Zhang Shi Yong.
You're suspected to have killed Ye Zi Xi on the night of the 23rd.
We'd like to search your office and your home
and ask you to come with us to assist our investigation.
Officer Xu, I have an important meeting this afternoon.
It's an investment that's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Is it okay if I go after my meeting--
You've been summoned for interrogation. We're not inviting you to a tea party.
Fine.
So what do you want me to do?
Can you open your trunk for us?
You have another car.
Where is it?
Zhang Shi Yong took away his personal belongings in the early morning.
Most of his clothes are custom made.
If he'd thrown them out then he'd give himself away.
He couldn't have brought them to work
because all the elevators had surveillance cameras.
He wouldn't have brought them home
because we've been observing the Ye family 24 hours a day
after the murder.
There's no way that he could get rid of them.
So it's highly possible that they're still in his car.
We found these items
inside a vehicle with registration number "Lin E12344"
in the underground parking lot at your apartment on Jian She Road.
We found Ye Zi Xi's DNA among those items.
Inside Ye Zi Xi's mansion on Lin An Mountain
the living room, bedroom, and bathroom
were covered in your fingerprints.
Zhang Shi Yong.
What's your explanation?
Fine.
I admit I had an affair with Ye Zi Xi.
But I didn't kill her.
I'll be honest with you.
I've had a lot of affairs.
She was just one of the women who had been with me for a bit longer.
Actually she can't really compare to Ye Qiao.
But she was very special.
Since you didn't kill her
why were you at the crime scene on the night of the murder?
Because that night I received a message from her.
[Darling, I need to talk to you, can you come to the mansion?]
When I got her message
I was very surprised because it was so late at night.
But due to everything that's been happening at work lately
- I was worried that-- - What's been happening?
You mean Ye's Overseas Investment's huge loss?
Your accounts showed a loss of 100 million yuan.
100 million?
If it was just 100 million
we wouldn't have asked all our senior managers to work overtime.
It was 1.9 billion.
So I was worried that if the truth had been revealed
we'd be in deep trouble.
That's why I packed up all my things and left.
Before I left...
I put a jacket over her body.
Because I didn't want to see her like that.
She was my woman after all.
- You... - How did it go?
It's my treat.
Go get some takeout.
You can buy whatever you want to eat.
I want something spicy.
I want meat, spicy meat.
Spicy meat?
That's yours.
This is mine.
- Here you are, Sir. - Sir...
- You're all eating spicy food? - We had a vote.
We all wanted a bit of excitement.
What's wrong?
Frustrated because we're stuck on the case?
Of course, our number one suspect has been proved innocent.
But I still reckon Zhang Shi Yong isn't a good person.
He's not the killer.
- That's because we don't have evidence-- - Let's eat.
I only realized I didn't have lunch when I had a headache just then.
We can't work on empty stomachs, right?
Thanks for the breakfast you bought me.
It certainly gave me enough sugar to last me through the day.
Where is my steamed sugar cake?
Ye Zi Xi, manager of Ye's Overseas Investment.
The day after she was killed
news about her department's huge loss got out.
Then Ye's Corporation's stock price kept falling.
Do you think it's a coincidence?
But financial crime is not our area of expertise.
We've already passed it on to the Financial Crimes Unit.
But we did find out a very important lead.
The message sent to Zhang Shi Yong.
It was sent out before the message for help was sent.
The tone didn't sound like Ye Zi Xi.
If Zhang Shi Yong's statement was true
when he got to Lin An Mountain at around midnight
Ye Zi Xi was already dead.
But the message that Master got was sent at...
12:20 a.m.
[Help me, 3 You Ma Road.]
You mean the message was sent by the killer at the crime scene?
In that case the message that Zhang Shi Yong got was probably also--
Based on the forensic report
the time of death was between 10:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
The message was sent from Ye Zi Xi's phone
to Zhang Shi Yong's private, personal cell phone.
Only Ye Lan Yuan and his children knew that number.
I know.
Since Ye Zi Xi lost 1.9 billion yuan the Ye family got so furious that they...
That can't be it.
The killer stayed at the crime scene after he killed her.
And told both her lover and childhood friend about it.
Why did he do that?
Between 10:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. the only person without an alibi was Ye Qiao.
No, I was asleep.
That's it, the truth is out.
She killed the mistress, told her husband and then called the police.
Give me a cigarette.
No.
Zhang Shi Yong already told us about the message.
What message?
I don't know what you mean.
We've already obtained a surveillance video from that night.
At around 11:00 p.m.
you went via You Ma Road West and arrived at Lin An Mountain.
You left after about two hours.
You gave us a false statement.
Being honest with us will certainly be to your advantage.
Miss Ye.
I feel sorry for you.
Why would you feel sorry for me?
I don't need your sympathy.
Who do you think you are?
I'm one of Ye's directors.
I have everything.
I don't need you to feel sorry for me.
Why feel sorry for me?
Why did you send a message and ask Zhang Shi Yong to go to the crime scene?
Because you wanted him to see his lover's dead body?
Or did you want to make him become the suspect?
Or is it both?
After you sent the message out of rage
you realized the cell phone would get you into trouble.
If you had thrown it away
the police might find out that you were once at the crime scene.
But if you had brought it home
you wouldn't have had the guts to do that.
So you decided to try your luck and threw it away.
Considering the size of Lin An Mountain
you could have just found a dark corner and thrown it away.
The police would probably never find it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
When you saw how distraught Zhang Shi Yong was
when he saw her dead body did it give you a sense of joy?
When you took the phone from Ye Zi Xu's hand...
did you touch her blood by accident?
As you drove home in a panic
did you get her blood on to your steering wheel?
I know you would have wiped it clean afterward.
But with the our forensic skills
we can still find traces of blood within an hour's time.
Ye Qiao.
Are you going to wait for the forensic results before you tell us the truth?
Or are you just going to come clean now?
Captain Ji is absolutely amazing.
I thought someone like you would tell me how harmful smoking is to my health.
You already know that.
You don't need to be told.
Master.
Give me the right to light your cigarettes from now on.
Okay?
Permission to light my cigarettes?
You won't need to carry a lighter with you anymore.
I'll light your cigarette for you whenever you feel like smoking.
Why? You want to keep count for me?
So that I'll know when you need external support to suppress yourself.
I know you need to suppress yourself.
But when it comes to protecting your feelings
it's like building a dam against a flood.
If you put a river on your head
- once it overflows-- - You're self-centered.
I began to smoke more than 10 years ago.
I don't need a health lesson or psychology lecture from anyone.
You're just my student.
Staying my student depends on your physical test in three months.
Hopefully you'll pass.
Captain Ji, Ye Qiao wants to see you.
