[Love Me If You Dare]
[Episode 7]
Hello?
Are you serious?
I will go downstairs and pick you up. Give me five minutes.
Xun Ran.
Why are you here? Are you here for work?
I was transferred to Jiang Zhou. For at least a year.
Really? If you were transferred here
you must have more of a chance of a promotion.
Congratulations.
Aunt Jian gave me your address.
Since it is the weekend, I thought I would drop by to visit you.
Let's go. Let's talk at my place.
8, 9, 9,13, 14, 15, 19.
Those are the numbers decoded by the experts.
They don't have any meaning at all.
To decrypt any encrypted message
you have to have the key.
If we have no directional clue
it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
And the final result will either be unexpectedly simple
or lead us nowhere at all.
The killing machine case was solved under Professor Bo's guidance.
I sent those decrypted numbers to him
hoping that he might know some information we don't.
But he didn't say anything.
Maybe he really is not interested in what's behind those numbers.
Hi, here's your package.
Okay, thank you.
Please sign here.
Let me clean up a little bit.
[Simon Bo]
Is this for Professor Bo?
Yes, it is.
Why did his package come to your apartment?
He is often not at home.
And sometimes even when he is home, he won't answer his door.
So he started sending his packages here.
I forgot to tell you. He lives upstairs.
Upstairs? He lives upstairs?
Yao Yao.
If...
I mean we are good friends who grew up together.
Anything that you think is okay and you are happy about...
I will always support you.
You can tell me anything.
No, I'm not dating Bo Jin Yan.
I'm not lying.
I was his assistant for a while.
So he asks me, out of habit, to do some things an assistant would do.
Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?
If you don't...
Bo Jin Yan has been living in an enclosed environment
in his own world.
I admit that sometimes I'm curious about his world.
But I also know that it's a dangerous world.
Right now, I don't have enough courage to get close to him.
You know that I'm always on your side.
Of course I do.
You are the most reliable person.
- I'll buy you lunch. - Let's go.
Hello.
Come to Nan Shan Cemetery, District D right now.
Hello...
Let's ignore him.
Are you paying your respects to your colleague
or assuaging your guilt for killing her?
What do you mean?
The night that Wang Wan Wei died
you were in her room.
You thought that this girl liked you.
So you wanted to take advantage of her when no one was paying attention.
Maybe she said no to having that kind of relationship with you.
So you got angry.
And she ended up dead, soaking in her own blood, in the bathtub.
- Am I right? - No.
[Loving Daughter, Wang Wan Wei 2014]
I was confessing my love to her.
Confessing your love?
From the day she started working at the company...
I liked her a lot.
But I'm just a junior salesperson who doesn't make a lot of money.
I don't own an apartment either.
I was never able to tell her my mind.
Until that night.
I hesitated until midnight.
Finally, I got up the courage and went to her room.
How did she feel then?
She seemed very happy.
However, she was also a little nervous.
Thank you.
I'm really happy.
But I need to think about it.
I will call you.
And then?
Then I went back to my room.
Thanks.
I don't know what happened.
I was asleep because of the alcohol.
The next day, when I got up
I heard from my colleagues that Wan Wei...
You confessed your love to the girl you liked.
She promised you that she would think about it.
However, that night she slit her wrists and committed suicide.
Didn't you think it was strange?
You just accepted it?
Of course not. I told Manager Lin about it.
What did you tell Manager Lin?
Wan Wei wouldn't commit suicide.
It doesn't make any sense.
I had just seen her.
She didn't say anything to me.
Manager Lin said I drank too much that night.
That's why I couldn't tell if there was anything wrong about her.
After all, everyone knew that Wan Wei's work performance was not that good.
And she was under lots of pressure for months.
She was very unstable.
Maybe it was because my love for her...
was not enough for her to live.
You haven't been yourself recently.
That's why we are here to talk to you.
Director Bo hopes that this won't affect your work
or the working environment.
So don't tell other people what we talked about today.
Do you believe what Mai Chen said?
He went to her room to confess his love.
Hello.
Wang Wan Wei had a hidden encrypted file.
It has one of her diaries in it. The date is March 22nd.
March 22nd? It's the day she died.
I have emailed it to you.
Okay, thank you. Bye.
That's not bad.
Now I can get a thank you after doing work.
Wang Wan Wei's last diary before she died.
It will solve a lot of mysteries.
Listen to this.
"He came to my room and confessed his love to me."
"The clean, pure, and handsome guy that I like..."
"Why did you come here now?"
"Thank you."
"You make my life less desperate."
"But do I get a chance to go back?"
"Do I have a chance to be saved?"
All right.
I know that you're not used to her style of writing.
But at least this proves that
Mai Chen wasn't lying.
It proves she wrote her suicide note before she wrote this diary entry.
You are right.
She sounded very desperate in the suicide note.
But from her diary, we can tell that she was obviously hesitant.
We can conclude that
Wang Wan Wei did write a suicide note that night.
But because of Mai Chen's confession
she changed her mind.
And she made some other decision.
And it was because of that decision...
that she ended up dead.
Wang Wan Wei had been very depressed for a few months before she died.
People were thinking that it was because of the work pressure
or that she was having a bad time in a relationship.
In fact, her depression had nothing to do with work or a relationship.
It was because that she was involved in a shady deal that we haven't found yet.
At 10 p.m. on March 22nd, the gathering was over.
She was back in her hotel room. [Back to her room]
Before 12 a.m. she wrote the suicide note.
She decided to end everything. [The suicide note]
Mai Chen went to her room to confess his love.
[Confession of love]
It took about 20 minutes.
After Mai Chen left
she wrote her last diary entry.
It took her about half an hour.
The police estimated that Wang died between 2:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m.
It means that the person who was in her room during that time
is the primary suspect. Is that right?
Someone visited you.
Xun Ran was here earlier.
Li Xun Ran.
He was transferred to Jiang Zhou.
He came to visit me today.
Xun Ran said that he sent you the encrypted numbers a long time ago.
Why did you ignore them?
I don't need to care about such boring things.
[Roommate Black dress]
Don't you see that there are so many flaws?
Everything is telling us this is a murder.
The murderer is one of your loving colleagues.
[Autopsy]
What does this mean?
I said that you would take the lead in this case.
Take your time and figure it out.
[The Beijing Women]
[Black dress]
[Earrings]
[Roommate]
Roommate.
That night at the Red Leaf Villa
the people from Marketing Team Two were staying in the same villa cluster.
But according to the company's rules
only people whose level is higher than an assistant manager can have a single.
Neither you or Wang Wan Wei were higher than that level.
Besides Manager Lin
you two were the only females.
So you two must have shared a room.
You were her roommate.
Where were you when she committed suicide?
I know I shouldn't have been with him.
But... but I couldn't control it.
He said that he would get a divorce.
We wouldn't do this in secret forever.
Vice President Shen had his own room.
You were in his room that night.
Is Director Bo investigating this?
Will he fire me?
He won't.
They wouldn't plan the murder on the night that they were cheating.
They are clear for the moment.
As long you are making such progress
you should be happy about that.
But what kind of shady deal did Wang Wan Wei get involved in?
We still have no clue about it.
It's you, not we.
You already know about it? Tell me now.
Dumplings with fish skin and shrimps.
Why would we get into investigating a suicide case in the first place?
Because there's evidence proving
that someone paid her family 10,000 yuan to not do the autopsy.
What's his purpose?
There were no bruises on her body.
To control Wang Wan Wei and get her into the bathtub
pretending she slit her wrists
the murderer might have given her a sleeping pill and he was afraid
that it would be discovered during the autopsy.
So?
Lots of people use two methods to commit suicide.
They take sleeping pills, slit their wrists, and turn on the gas.
It's very normal.
Why is that?
The dead body is just an empty shell drowning in a mud puddle.
You can't get it out.
Feel the indulgence and the emptiness for the last time.
The beginning and the end of the darkness.
What thing could be described by those words?
Doing drugs.
Wang Wan Wei was addicted to drugs?
So when facing Mai Chen's love
she was desperate.
No one would have killed her just because she was doing drugs.
Drugs? Are you sure about that?
I'm sure there's a network selling drugs in your company.
Cheng Yu Inc. has a zero tolerance policy for drugs.
If we had done an autopsy
and found out that she was using drugs
I definitely would have asked for a thorough investigation.
Maybe that's what the 10,000 yuan was for.
If it weren't for those emails
Wang Wan Wei's case would have already been settled.
Then the drug network would still be safe.
Then who really paid that 10,000 yuan?
And who sent those emails?
Zi Yu is already working on that.
As for the emails
I probably know who sent them.
Who?
I can't be sure yet. I will deal with it.
But in my opinion
you should call the police.
Officer Li.
Captain Huang, you asked for me?
Li, come in and have a seat.
I heard that when Professor Bo Jin Yan
was solving the killing machine case in Tong City
- you guys worked together. - Yes.
Cheng Yu Inc. just called us.
We decided to open an investigation.
Professor Bo will also help us.
As you guys have worked together
you will take the lead on this case.
What case?
Okay, I know.
I will tell him.
8, 9, 9, 13, 14, 15,19.
The final result will either be unexpectedly simple
or lead us nowhere at all.
Will it really be unexpectedly simple?
8, 9, 9, 13, 14, 15, 19.
It doesn't have any meaning.
[Simon Bo]
Simon?
[H I S I M O N]
Simon.
Hi, Simon.
This is what it means. Look at this.
The blood numbers left by Sun Yong are really simple.
The experts made it complicated.
Each number has a matching letter.
But we needed to reorganize them.
You already knew this, didn't you?
Hi, Simon.
But there is no way that Sun Yong would have known that
you were investigating the case.
Why would he leave you a note?
[I... am ahead of you.]
Those numbers were not written by Sun Yong.
Before we solved the case, someone else already knew
that Sun Yong was the killer.
Or he was the one
who triggered Sun Yong's killing desire.
This person has a sick obsession with me.
He triggered or started the cases that I will be working on on purpose.
Before I solve the case
he leaves his own message.
He gets satisfaction from being one step ahead of me.
Is he also involved in this case?
The emails sent to your sister
were all written by this psychopath who is obsessed with you.
So when the police contacted you, why didn't you say anything?
Such a psychopath makes you his target...
That's very dangerous.
Obviously, he is watching your every move.
Maybe he will attack you one day.
But we know nothing about him.
Do you know something about him?
You know who he is, don't you?
Simon, I'm so scared.
Come catch me if you can.
Simon.
Are you my next meal?
This person has a sick obsession with me.
Before I solve a case
he leaves his own message.
He gets satisfaction...
from being one step ahead of me.
Where are the materials Professor Bo organized?
Here.
What were you thinking about? You look distracted.
It happened at Red Leaf Villa.
It's an enclosed community.
Cheng Yu Inc. rented the whole place that night.
There were no other tourists.
Because of her position
Wang Wan Wei stayed in the same room as Xue Qing.
No one knew the victim would be by herself that night except her colleagues.
After committing the crime, the murderer carefully staged the crime scene.
It took a long time.
The murderer didn't even worry that the roommate might come back.
Hence, we can deduce that it was an inside job.
Hi, Simon.
Good to see you. It's been a while.
Thank you. How's the thing I asked you to do for me?
Flower Cannibal is one of the most cruel serial killers caught by the FBI.
You helped us to capture him
and escort him to Bay Area Prison
the most guarded prison in the US.
So believe me
there is no way for him to escape that prison.
Are you saying that Jin Yan's request is a total waste of time?
But because you are my friend, Simon
I did go to the prison to check it out in person.
And Tommy was still serving his time in his cell.
He hasn't been allowed yard time for over a year now
has had no visitors...
So whoever is stalking you, it is not Tommy.
I believe it's not Tommy.
But they have the same patterns.
They also have similar features.
No matter how he disguised himself, I could always tell.
There must be some connection between this person and Tommy.
And it must be a close connection.
So what are you asking for?
A joint investigation.
Sharing information across jurisdictions
I believe you can handle that.
However, the most important thing is that I have to be a part of it.
But this is a far different situation from last time, Simon.
You forfeited your security clearance when you decided to go back to China.
I... I don't see how I can include you officially in this investigation.
Susan.
No one knows Tommy better than me.
If you want to close the case completely
you need my help.
Let me forward your request to my superiors.
Thank you.
Xiao Li, there's one thing that I don't understand.
The victim changed her mind about the suicide that night.
We can use the last diary entry as proof.
But what makes Professor Bo say
that the victim went out after writing the dairy entry?
The black dress.
When the victim left the ballroom and went back to her room
she was wearing a blue dress.
When Mai Chen went to see her
she was still wearing the blue dress.
She was in a black dress.
That just means that she changed later.
It was midnight when Mai Chen left.
If Wang Wan Wei got changed at that time
then she would have changed into her pajamas or something like a bathrobe.
But she chose a black dress.
Why is that?
I know.
Changing into a black dress means that she was planning to go out again.
In Wang Wan Wei's mind
this blue dress meant something special to her.
It is the favorite color of the person she liked.
Each time she wore this blue dress
Mai Chen would compliment her.
So no matter what she was going out for
obviously she wouldn't want to wear that blue dress.
Seriously, are you okay?
The reason I insisted on bringing you back to China to rest
is because I think it's...
You have done everything you can for me.
Now let me focus on my work. I will win.
That was quick.
Did you superiors say anything?
According to the Sino-US joint task force agreement on international violent crimes
we can form a joint investigation team to share information.
As for your classification...
I believe that the Chinese police won't have any objection.
The FBI is the key.
Well, since it involves internal confidential information
the FBI wouldn't authorize your participation as a consultant.
But?
A sentence like that definitely has a but.
But, the US government allows the victim
the right to assist the ongoing investigation of their case.
The victim?
Well, whether you like it or not, Simon, you were a victim of that case.
And that allows you the right to participate in the investigation.
I'll accept it.
Good. I'll take care of the paperwork.
And I'll contact the Chinese police as soon as I can.
No problem.
So aren't you gonna tell me who she is?
Who?
Your micro expressions have changed.
The corner of your eyes, lips, fingertips
the color of your clothing
even your emotions have slightly changed since the last time I saw you.
I hope you'll introduce me soon.
Susan.
I know that you are a top criminal profiler.
But please don't profile me.
Didn't you have to do something with Zi Yu?
Why are you here?
It's done.
From where you're standing to where I'm standing
dig out and pack all the dirt under this floor.
Bring it back to the lab and examine it.
Okay.
Why do you only need to dig that part?
Pretend that I didn't ask.
What exactly are you looking for?
The missing piece in the information puzzle.
Wang Wan Wei's suicide note is real.
She did decide to commit suicide that night.
In that case...
which suicide method did she have in mind?
Wang Wan Wei wrote in her suicide note
"Forgive my cowardice."
"Let me feel the emptiness and the indulgence for the last time."
"The beginning and the end of the darkness."
Drugs.
She wanted to let people know that she died from an overdose.
If she was about to start a new life with Mai Chen
what would she do first?
Throw away all the drugs she had.
The murderer definitely did not know
that the victim had thrown this away before she died.
And Wang Wan Wei got the drugs from the murderer.
If we are lucky
this will lead us to a new name
and helps us solve all the mysteries.
What should we do next?
We'll wait.
Beautiful, get me a cup of coffee.
There's a rule in our department that new employees get a welcome party.
Tomorrow 8 p.m. at my place.
Your place?
Yes.
I live by myself. And the place is big enough.
Every time there's a party in the department, it is always at my place.
Tomorrow?
Yes.
It's a welcome party for you.
Everyone will be there.
Don't tell me you can't make it.
I will definitely be there. Is there anything you want me to bring?
Of course there is.
Bring your pretty face.
We have a deal. I will see you tomorrow night.
