[Third Brother: 6 missed calls]
She might have sent the text message last night as a joke and fell asleep after that.
Impossible. She wouldn't have done that. I'll have to make a trip back.
No, but you haven't slept for a night. It takes more than an hour to drive to Mount Lin'an from here.
You guys stay behind and continue with the interrogation.

When A Snail Falls in Love- Episode 7 -
Xu Xu! Xu Xu!
Xu Xu!
A female corpse was discovered at No. 3 Yuema Road, Mount Lin'an. Boss wanted you to go over now.
Master?
Isn't he at Xiangchuan County?
Special circumstances. It was Boss who made the report.
He seems to know the deceased.
The deceased is Ye Zixi, female, 29 years old, single.
She was the manager of the overseas investment department in Ye Corporation.
She had no immediate family and no criminal records.
Half-a-year ago, she bought this villa through a real estate agency.
According to her assistant,
the deceased held a department meeting as usual in the afternoon yesterday.
Around 5.30 p.m., she left the company and went back to her home.
Based on the information given by the person who reported the case...
This morning,
I received a text message from the deceased, crying for help.
It was sent in the early hours of today, at 12:20 a.m.
[Save me, No. 3 Yuema Road]
I called back and no one answered.
So I asked for help from Mount Lin'an Regional Police for help.
I drove back on my own from Xiangchuan County.
Mount Lin'an Regional Police reached here at 7.30 a.m. Ye Zixi was already dead.
Her body was covered by that white windbreaker.
Xiaofang, you and Old Lee go and check on the surveillance video in the security office.
Pass your report to Xu Xu.
Yes.
I'll say; you'll note it down.
The murder weapons are five special blade cutters, with a length of 36 centimeters long,
and a width of 10 centimeters, manufactured by Ye Corporation
They are stabbed into the deceased's limbs and chest respectively.
There were no fingerprints left on the murder weapons.
There were no signs of the deceased being moved after she died.
This should be the primary crime scene.
She was thrown from here into the courtyard. This should be the cause of the deceased's soft tissues injury.
Third Brother
is still the same old Third Brother.
Unfortunately, I'm no longer the old Yezi.
Master, you had a special relationship with the deceased. Let me do this then.
Twelve women's jackets,
shirts, suits, dresses pajamas,
three handbags, six pairs of shoes.
No men's clothes here.
How many times have you inspected a crime scene?
My first time.
She was my closest friend, a younger sister.
I'm very sad.
Finding who's the murderer now
is the only thing that I can do for her.
I must do it personally.
Ye Zixi had serious gastralgia. She felt that it was more effective to use injections.
So she had many of these at home.
There's food for a single serving on the dining table.
It had been set aside for more than 8 hours.
Thank you, Third Brother, for helping me find back my deceased father's possession.
Master,
The murder site is a villa that Yezi bought half-a-year ago.
All the doors and windows in it are intact.
There are no signs of forced entry.
The crime scene is neat and organized. No valuables are missing.
We can initially eliminate the possibility of a forced entry robbery with homicide.
Captain Ji, the CCTV recordings of this villa were all erased
and the disc was also taken away.
And this villa is very remote so we still haven't found any witnesses.
We also didn't find the victim's cellphone. It must have been taken by the murderer.
This murderer has great knowledge of counter reconnaissance.
We must start our investigation with the people around Ye Zixi.
In the night of the crime, the victim only prepared a night snack for herself.
This proves that she wasn't expecting any guests.
The doors and windows were all closed well.
This proves that Yezi personally opened the door for that murderer.
This means that the visitor was someone she knew and also deemed worthy
to be entertained in her own home.
Second is the murderer's actions.
The murderer placed those blades on the victim's corpse. This was an unnecessary abusive action.
It's more like some kind of ceremony or symbol.
And also, when the corpse of the victim was initially found,
there was clothing over the victim to cover up her wounds.
That's why I think that the criminal not only knows Ye Zixi,
but he also has very complicated feelings towards her.
And also, the victim has a lover.
This villa is where she meets with her lover.
Just say what you think.
If I didn't guess it wrong, the shoe rack near the door has at least three empty shoe slots.
This villa at first glance doesn't have any signs of a man living it.
But if you look at the overall design of this villa
and the car magazines on the coffee table,
it really doesn't look like the house of a woman living alone.
There are five shelves for clothes in the victim's dressing room. Two of them are half empty
and there are no order in the arrangement of the clothes.
But if we look at the furnishings of this villa,
Ye Zixi seems to be a person who is very organized in her living habits.
Then the most plausible explanation for this is
the other person rushed to take away his clothes
and then transferred the victim's clothes
to cover up for it.
With Ye Zixi's fame,
a regular romantic relationship would have already been known by the public. With Ye Zixi's wealth,
if she really wanted to live in a villa on the suburbs, why not choose a more developed location
and choose a place with few people like Mount Ling An?
This also proves my inference on Zhang Shiyong's kidnapping case.
I feel that Zhang Shiyong and Ye Zixi have an extraordinary relationship.
Why does a big man like you do such things?
If you can't earn big, then earn small. Sell your labor. Can't you do anything else?
You just have to go bullying those women and children.
Say, when you close your eyes at night to sleep,
don't you feel frightened?
I'm talking to you!
We've checked your background. You are an orphan.
You were also a child kidnapped and sold by them.
Do you really want those sufferings that you personally went through
to be born by more people?
I know that you definitely don't want to.
That's why, you never directly do things that harmed those women and children.
Right now, your chance has arrived. You have the chance to change your own fate
and change others' fate
and even change the fate of those bastards.
Chen Yong is really a bastard.
Just kidnap and sell them, but why did he have to kill her?!
Guan Nan,
if you still keep pretending to be ignorant about it, don't blame us for not giving you this chance.
Tell us about Old Master.
I have only heard about him.
They say that he is quite tall and very cruel and heartless.
I think this Yao Meng girl is not bad.
Just her character is fierce enough.
If anyone gets to marry her and gets into a fight with her at home,
wouldn't she have him beaten to a pulp.
She is so great. Whoever marries her will be very fortunate.
Why will he make her angry?
- Go then.- I'm going. See you later.
They all wanted to dig in the company! Drink the company's blood!
Everyone wants money! Money! Money!
Damn them.
President Ye, there's someone at the reception, wanting to--
He's not seeing them! Can't you see what the situation is? See what other people?!
- Are you blind?- Who are they?
The police. They say they want to see President Ye and the General Manager for private questioning.
Thank you Manager Zhang for cooperating with our police's investigation.
Following the procedure, I'd like to ask what you did on the day of the crime.
I ate dinner with Zhang Shiyong till 8 and then some.
After that, I brought some pastries back home.
Halfway through, I received a call from an overseas distributor.
It should have been around 12 a.m. to 2 a.m. in the morning. I was in the company all the time.
- Do you have an alibi witness?- I don't have an alibi witness. I was at home sleeping.
Then... when was the last time you saw the victim?
The night before, at the company's internal cafeteria.
How long have you known the victim?
Known her? That was so long ago.
Then, how long have you known the victim?
Ten to twenty years I guess. I don't remember the things that happened when I was young that well anymore.
Last Saturday, at the weekly enforced family gathering.
Usually, we don't even get to see each other.
Who'd have thought that it'd be the last one.
Did she display any unusual behavior that night?
She's always been well-poised,
no matter what the occasion was. This is what I admire in her.
- Then what's your relationship with her?- My younger cousin.
She's my elder brother's only child.
After Brother met with misfortune, I've always doted on her a lot.
Given your understanding, did the victim have any animosity with anyone?
Animosity? What's considered as animosity?
A girl from a good family background, smart, and has good looks.
Which of these aren't attributes that spark envy in thousands of people?
- If there was one...-... it'd also be due to business rivalries.
Our psychologist has deduced
that the victim's lover is the most likely suspect.
But after interviewing for so long, all everyone says is that they don't know.
There's only an email left and their conversation history. We'd better prepare ourselves to do all-nighters.
I thought we'd managed to grasp hold of the crux, and we'd be able to rest for a few days.
Can't you guys learn from Yao Meng?
She's all bandaged, but she's still working as per normal, no?
You guys still don't know, do you?
The earliest founder of Longxi was Ye Lanyuan's elder brother, Ye Lanqing.
Also, the Xi used is also the one used in Xiyang (sunset), which is also the Xi in Ye Zixi.
Originally, Ye Lanqing was planning for his only daughter, Ye Zixi, to inherit his business.
Man's planning cannot compare with the fate decided by Heaven. Ye Lanqing died young, so Longxi was left in the hands of Ye Lanyuan.
Although they're both department heads, but this Ye Zixi's stock shares
cannot even be compared to one-fifth of Ye Lanyuan's daughter.
Grudges within rich families. Let me analyze it for you.
A troubled-befallen rich daughter was murdered in cold blood.
Too bad.
- It hurts! It hurts! - It hurts?
Say, the way your mouth works, can you use your quick-wittedness
- on looking at the crime files?- I can.
Eat!
Captain, let's eat.
Boss.
Then we'll make a move first.
Do you eat like a snail, too?
How did the interrogation go?
They have all confessed. They even admitted to who is the boss.
The boss is someone by the name of Lu Ge. It is said that recently there's a batch of goods
which would be traded in our city. The venue is in Jiahe.
Zhao Yuan, Dacai and the rest are in cahoots with Chen Yong.
They were the ones who kidnapped Zhang Shiyong.
From the look of it, this labor market, Jiahe is an important base of operations for them.
Report this to Director Zhan. We need careful and thorough planning to crack down on Jiahe.
You find some time to be familiar with the situation over there. Be careful not to alert them in advance.
Third Brother, regarding the case of Ye Zixi...
We'd some breakthroughs but we're still lacking in evidence.
Then...
I'm going to look for evidence now.
Ye Zixi is dead.
Do you have any idea of who the murderer was?
Dead?
She was stabbed to death by blades.
5 stabs.
The blades used were the ones you have used before.
That beast. He finally got his hands on Zixi.
Tell us the name.
Zhang Shiyong, you bastard.
He had her body but he couldn't have her heart.
You said he had a intimate relationship with Ye Zixi. Who told you that?
I should have killed him earlier.
It's all your fault.
If it weren't for you guys, he would have been dead long ago.
And you.
She liked you so much.
Since she was young, she thought you were all powerful.
But did you protect her?
Did you protect her?
You bastard. You are all bastards.
Third Brother! Come on! Come on!
90.
220.
How is it going?
220 shots. 194 successful shots.
Success rate is 88.2%.
I was asking about his mood.
Come, let's have a game.
Can you still continue?
Take this.
You two join us, too.
Yao Meng hurt her arm.
It's just right. Our strength will be more balanced if I only use one arm.
If you use your injured arm, maybe our strength will be more balanced.
Are you going to be on the same team as Master?
Go.
Hey, my skills are not worse than him.
Whether it's bad or not, you don't have the final say.
We'll know after the game.
Okay.
You think that I'm just a sick cat, when in fact I'm just a tiger that has sheathed my claws? (T/N: I am not that easily defeated.)
Yao Meng, crush him. Go!
Good shot. Great job.
Crush all.
All along these years, every month at around this time, I would ask you all over for a meal.
So as to hold a memorial service for your Uncle.
From this day on, we'll have another person who would be sadly missed.
Ye Zixi.
Big Brother,
I know Zixi is your only flesh and blood.
I didn't take good care of her. I'm sorry.
Let's eat.
Eat.
I'm not feeling too well. I'll go back home first.
Dad, I'll send Qiaoqiao back first.
Stop right there.
What're you doing? Don't make your Dad angry.
Dad.
Did you wish that Ye Zixi was your daughter?
Qiaoqiao. Qiaoqiao.
Qiaoqiao.
When she was alive,
she had always wanted to break up this family.
Now that she's dead,
her spirit lingers around and is still able to break up this family.
