Detective Samoyeds
Water!
I want water!
I'm so thirsty!
Give me water!
Darling!
What's the matter, darling?
Darling, here is water.
Darling, don't scare me, darling.
Darling!
Darling, wake up, Darling!
Darling! Darling!
Someone please save my husband!
The Old Well From Hell
You may retreat.
Long live His Emperor.
We are in a time of governmental chaos.
It's natural for His Emperor to lose his temper.
Not to mention when it's the royal treasury that got stolen.
This kind of matter...
The royal treasury theft case is still waiting to be solved.
Why don't they let Dalisi take over the case?
Dalisi has another mission at hand.
His Emperor ordered Dalisi to deal with the epidemic that hit Dongshui Village.
I heard that the epidemic is raging quite a havoc in that village.
People are dying one after another.
Seems like Dalisi has a hard time ahead of it.
Not just Dalisi.
If this crisis isn't handled duly,
the imperial court will become a laughing stock of the people.
In this current political chaos, we should all take care of ourselves.
Tan Shuangye! Tan Shuangye!
Say, can this thing protect me from the epidemic?
What do you think?
Boss, this epidemic is too scary!
I heard that the people who get infected die within a day. They don't even have time to buy a coffin.
I've read of
much scarier epidemics than this.
So you are the only one into books.
This isn't some joke.
If it's an epidemic of the respiratory system,
it could reach Chang'an City any moment.
What should we do?
Go die.
But how did an epidemic break out in a village out of the blue?
It has to come from some sort of source or origin.
From what I know,
Dongshui village has always had beautiful mountains and clear waters.
As uninhabited as it is, how did an epidemic break out there?
I heard that the corpses have quite an appearance.
With facial convulsions and twisted limbs.
I get excited just thinking about it.
Shuangye, that's too disgusting!
Exactly my thoughts.
What do you know?
If it's an epidemic, we need to find its source as soon as possible.
Chang'an is the city of His Majesty.
If it spreads, it will be a disaster.
We'll visit the place tomorrow.
Are you up to it?
Of course I am.
If this gets delayed, more lives will be on the line.
Zisu.
Don't get scared and start to cry.
Wh-when did I ever cry?
I...
I just... when I face
that kind of things
What kind of things?
Well, that!
What?
- Whatever, that kind of things...! - Tan Shuangye!
Watch your attitude!
What?
Do you think everyone's like you,
unable to tell a lady from a man?
Huang Songpao.* Song means coward
How am I a coward?
When was I ever a coward?
You just are!
When was I ever a coward?
Coward, coward, coward! When was I ever a coward?
Coward, coward, coward!
- When was I ever a coward? - Enough!
Boss, I... I...
There's nowhere I can't go, nothing I can't do!
I'm a must-have artifact for household and traveling.
Take me with you.
An epidemic isn't a child‘s play.
We need to be cautious.
Shuangye, have you prepared protections against the epidemic?
Of course.
Oh right, I think there's someone else we need.
My lovely guests,
my dear fellow citizens of Chang'an!
Today, Fanshe is holding a big promotion activity!
You only need to order five dishes
and you will have the honor to see the innkeeper
which means, me,
perform a western style dance for you.
Oh, dear guests, dear fellow citizens of Chang'an!
This Sir here!
Would you like to see a dance?
Do you have pancakes?
How many would you like?
One!
Sir, I think you look like a pancake!
Siniang, I'm starving!
I haven't eaten for two hours!
You haven't eaten anything?
I don't even have any business to run!
How long has it been since I last had guests?
But I'm working!
I'm trading my fresh young body for food and drink.
What's wrong with that?
I haven't eaten anything all day, either!
You won't die without food for a day.
But I'm younger than you!
So what?
But you look older than me!
Samo! Samo!
I'm so scared, Siniang!
Samo, there's a case.
Do you know what happened in Dongshui village? Four people have already died.
Quick, come with me!
I've heard about it!
It's the epidemic of this village
that took away my business.
Yes, that's it.
Quick, let's go.
You can't.
During an epidemic,
Samo will cost an extra fee.
Fine, fine, fine.
You said it.
Okay, okay.
How much?
Forty Wen.
Twenty.
Thirty.
Alright!
Chancellor Li, I'm calculating...
You are really something, you two!
I'm so pissed off!
I'm going to explode, I want to mince someone!
God, send me an offal I can chop up!
How about I give you a riddle?
No, thanks.
Let me give you one.
Boom boom boom!
Officers, you‘ve travelled a long way!
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you.
You rushed all the way here,
we are deeply grateful!
The Chief sent me to the village entrance to aid you.
Stop this useless small talk. Lead the way!
There were rats.
Could you give me something to eat?
I'm dead thirsty, finally some water!
Sir! You can't drink that water!
You really can't drink that water.
Why can't we?
Why?
Mr. Li and the others
died because of this well's curse.
Sir, please calm down.
What exactly is going on here?
A few days ago
we did some repairs to this well.
The people in charge,
including Mr. Li, have all died!
We think
it's perhaps because we touched this well
and angered the well's Dragon Lord.
Officers, officers!
Officers.
I'm sorry for the long wait.
I'm the Chief of this village.
You've seen it too.
Many have died in this village lately.
So many things have happened. I really have my hands full.
Please accept my apology.
Sirs, after such a long travel,
you must be hungry.
I prepared some wine and food.
Please come this way.
There's no need.
Shuangye,
check out the houses of the deceased with Zisu.
Alright.
Chief, please take us into the village.
Very well, this way.
This way.
How's there no need?
I want to eat food! I want to drink water!
I want to eat food, I want to drink water.
Could you give me something to eat?
Has this village always been so desolate?
It wasn't like this back then.
The earth was flat and vast, the houses well well lined up.
Witch rich fields, beautiful ponds, countless bamboo and mulberry,
the villagers lived in harmony and happiness.
But the good times didn't last long.
After only three years since I took up my post, the situation has come to this.
It's all the fault of my inability to govern a village.
Who is this...?
This is Sister Nanzhu.
The villagers all call her The Witch.
Her mother died suddenly after giving birth to her.
That month, a great drought began for the village.
Her father left home and went missing.
The villagers all take her as a bad omen.
They avoid her as much as possible.
Sir, let's head this way.
Sir, please come in.
This is our coroner.
Have these people all taken part in the reparation of the old well?
Yes.
This is the only well in our village.
It's been in bad repair for years.
I ordered them to repair the well during the slack season.
Who would've known that after their return, it's as if an evil spirit possessed them.
Everyone of them succumbed to a sudden death.
Shuangye, what have you found out?
There are no wounds, the visceral organs are basically intact.
The cause of death
is unknown.
When we first entered the village,
we saw some rats.
Is it perhaps the plague that led to disaster?
No.
If it was the plague, the infected person's body would look horrifically black and purple.
It wouldn't be like this.
Does the corpse show any traces of poison?
I tested it using different methods.
Neither the vomit at his mouth nor the fluid from the lower part of his body
contain any traces of poison.
So that's that.
Zisu.
Cover yourself up.
The epidemic, the epidemic.
You all should cover yourself up.
Are you all suicidal?
Don't you think
that this is really strange?
There are no wounds,
there is no poison,
what else could it be?
Could it be another kind of epidemic disease?
Impossible.
All four of the deceased are male.
What epidemic disease only infects males?
That's good.
Zisu! Zisu!
The guy who just died,
his facial expression
looked a lot like his soul got sucked out.
Sirs.
You've had some difficult days.
I came to remind you that this village has a night curfew.
I have to ask you to stay in your houses and don't go out if possible.
What?
Why can't we go out?
This isn't Chang'an City.
What's the night curfew about?
You have seen her today, too.
Sister Nanzhu,
well, The Witch,
she has been rather moody and emotionally unstable these days.
I'm worried...
What are you worried about?
Stop mumbling.
Spit it out.
It's a long story.
Sister Nanzhu is unsociable and eccentric.
She's an expert in odd witchcraft.
She often makes the villagers feel greatly upset and very uneasy.
The villagers are scared and keep their distance from her.
In the past few years, cases of missing children have occurred here one after another.
But even after searching everywhere, will still don't have any leads.
We suspect
that the missing children incidents might be related to Sister Nanzhu's witchcraft.
Perhaps, in order to worship the Gods, she has offered those children as sacrifice.
What's more,
this Sister Nanzhu
hates strangers very much.
I'm mostly concerned
about your safety.
Don't worry.
We won't be going anywhere.
Bear it, bear it.
She wouldn't use magic to eat us, would she?
Please rest assured.
I will try my best to keep everyone safe.
There's no need.
We can protect ourselves.
That's good.
I'll be taking my leave, Sirs.
Farewell.
Put it on. Put it on.
Don't run!
These two corpses are the same
as Mr. Li's and the other threes.
There are no wounds.
I also couldn't find any poison.
Who said only males would get infected?
This...
This looks like an epidemic anyway you look!
It's such a pity.
Mr. Zhao passed away early.
She was raising her child by herself.
It must have been hard.
Zhao Lanzhi, female, twenty three years old.
Zhao Yingying, female, five years old.
I want to eat food, I want to drink water.
Take it.
Little brother, tell me something.
This old well and your village...
Sir, there is an accident!
Don't bother with him.
Quick, come with me!
This old witch!
They should't have left you alive back then and let you harm others!
Save your breath! Just burn her!
Burn her! Burn her!
Stop! What's happening here?
Why are you arresting people unauthorized?
The Chief ordered us to investigate the source of the disease.
I have found these rune texts for noxious agents in her house.
This means that the disease was caused by this old witch alone!
Burn her! Burn her!
Stop it!
Burn her! Burn her!
Someone! Burn this old witch!
Stop it!
Burn her! Burn her!
What do you want this time?
The disease has nothing to do with sister Nanzhu.
Then how do you explain these rune texts?
As a witch, is it really that strange to be keeping rune texts?
She is a bane!
If we don't deal with her,
we will never see better days!
That's right!
Burn her! Burn her! Burn her!
You people
are really ridiculous.
I understood what sister Nanzhu kept on reciting.
It's the sutra of the great vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Little brother, excuse me.
Sister Nanzhu wasn't putting anyone under a curse.
She was praying for the blessings for all of you.
Sirs, you came to this village to handle a case.
I should have met you with thorough hospitality.
But with the village in such a state, I couldn't even offer you a good meal.
There's no need to mention it.
We are here on business.
Sirs, let me empty the glass first to show my respect.
You seem to be in a bad mood.
It's actually not that.
I just think that things stay the same but people change.
What do you mean by that?
You have all seen it yourselves today.
Cai Feng,
our Vice Chief,
as a village officer,
he has instigated the villagers to destroy an innocent elderly and embarrassed me.
I'm sorry for this embarrassment.
You can't say it like that.
The Vice Chief only did it to solve the case as soon as possible, didn't he?
Cai Feng is a competitive man.
He wishes for an official career wholeheartedly.
But I, who is just a herb farmer, has become the Chief.
Cai Feng is dissatisfied.
That's why he is opposing me in everything.
If I had known that he cares so much about this position,
I would have preferred not to become the Chief.
Sir, what's the matter?
My stomach hurts really bad.
Please.
So much whining!
He's like a nagging wife.
Samo, Sir.
Chancellor Li said there was something he needs to discuss with you.
He couldn't find you anywhere.
My stomach hurts. My stomach hurts.
This is the barn we use to store foodstuff.
Sir, you wouldn't have...
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't.
I worried too much.
Let me show you the way.
Let's go.
Oh damn it!
What is it?
There are fishes!
Fishes?
Yes!
They're alive!
Hey! Quick, pull me up!
Shuangye!
Oh right!
Boss, there was nothing inside there.
Shuangye, do an autopsy on the fish.
What autopsy? The fish is alive!
Are you stupid?

We are all ignorant people.
Why don't we listen to this Dalisi officer,
let him explain the happenings.
You have been here for many days.
Have you still not found a single lead?
We can't go on like this.
This well is a well from hell!
It must be leading to the netherworld!
We have to seal off this well!
Yes! Seal off the well! Seal off the well!
This damn well has done us too much harm!
You should better stop nattering.
Be careful not to anger the Dragon Lord again.
I don't think we can stay in this village any longer.
Let's move to another place.
Yes. Go home everybody.
Prepare for the move! We're moving!
Shuzhen.
Are you alright?
The villagers are moving out one after another.
What should we do?
I really think it's the anger of the Dragon Lord!
These villagers must have been up to no good.
Why are you still playing with that fish?
The case is cleared!
Boss, shouldn't we be going back?
There are no supernatural beings.
Utter nonsense!
Let me tell you something.
What is it?
This Vice Chief
and Mr. Li's wife
seem to be somewhat attached.
There's something going on between those two?
What did you find out?
Last night I saw the two of them meeting each other.
Judging by their body language
There was more to their relationship.
I think the Vice Chief is still in love with Mrs. Li.
If that is really the case,
it would make sense for him to kill Mr. Li.
But how did the other people die?
Could it have also been him?
Back then,
he tried with all his might, but failed to become Chief.
He's holding a grudge against the villagers.
Today
I have called everyone to gather here,
because there is something
I want to tell all of you.
The villagers' cause of death
has nothing to do
with some Dragon Lord.
Because just yesterday, at the dead of night,
Dalisi's officers
have seen Mrs. Li
meet with our Vice Chief right next to this old well.
The two of them?
I never would have thought you could do something like this!
Back then, you and Mr. Li both fell in love with Mrs. Li.
We all know that.
But she is a married woman!
You should put your feelings behind!
We were candidates for Chief the same year.
Our fellow villagers didn't accept you and you didn't get elected.
Never would I have thought you'd still hold a grudge!
You killed Mr. Li first
then poisoned the well
to destroy all the other villagers.
You are really vicious.
Someone!
Arrest the Vice Chief!
Arrest him! Arrest him!
You bastard!
How could you act so goodhearted and console me that night?
I will kill you to revenge my husband!
- Take him away! - I will kill you!
I will kill you!
Go! Go!
I will kill you. I will kill you.
I have never seen such a shameless person!
My thoughts exactly!
What happened?
Zisu, that Vice Chief still doesn't admit to his guilt.
He just wouldn't say what poison he used.
How can we treat the villagers?
Then the villagers who have drunk the water
might very well be still in danger.
Samo, haven't you studied some healing arts?
How can I treat them when we haven't even found the cause?
Then-Then we could at least give them some health enhancing medicine.
Fine, fine.
I'll pick some herbs in the mountains.
What are you doing?
What if a wolf appeared and you weren't there?
I can feel at ease with you there.
What is it? Did you find some herbs?
That Chief...
he was a herb farmer?
Yes.
He said so himself.
But I, who is just a herb farmer,
has been elected to become the Chief.
You don't gather herbs anymore?
There's no need!
Well, take your stuff back yourself!
Samo, did you finish gathering herbs?
Why are you by yourself?
Where is Li Zhi?
I don't have time to explain.
Zisu.
You are familiar with Chang'an's geomorphology, aren't you?
Draw a map
of Dongshui village's location for me.
Draw a map?
Why?
Stop twaddling. Hurry!
Is this it?
I can only draw a general idea.
I might be unsure with some of the places.
I got it.
Who is it?
It's Officer Samo.
What are you doing here this late at night?
And what are you doing here this late at night?
The Vice Chief got taken away by you.
I am the only one left responsible for the whole village's safety.
Of course I need to keep watch at night.
Since I have a lantern with me, let me escort you back to your rooms.
Hold on.
Regarding this well,
there is something I can't wrap my head around.
This is a water well, why would it emit stench?
Why are there fishes?
This well is very strange.
Nothing would strike me as odd with this well.
Unless
the bottom of this well is connected to another water channel.
Samo, Sir, it's getting very dark.
I think you should stop letting your imagination run wild.
Let me escort you back to your rooms.
This Dongshui village
is quite a treasure.
[Royal Treasury Dongshui Village]
It's next to the royal treasury. [Royal Treasury Dongshui Village]
It's next to the royal treasury.
His Emperor has sent a huge force to guard the treasury at all levels.
But who would have known
there'd be a well in a little village
with a water channel leading right into the treasury?
No wonder the royal treasury theft case has still not been solved.
If I‘m not mistaken
the four people who died first
must be the ones who helped you dig through the tunnel.
What? You mean that Mr. Li...
Correct.
That gold bracelet on your wrist,
from its design to its fineness,
is embroidered with the royal patterns.
The only logical explanation would naturally be that Mr. Li stole it from the treasury.
With only the strength of a single man, it would have been far too difficult to dig through the tunnel.
But by pretending to repair the well,
you could arrange for four men to start the work during slack season.
This way,
even if you hauled out debris,
no one would notice.
Only, after your success, in order to skim off all the treasure for yourself,
you poisoned the four men ruthlessly.
That's bullshit!
This coroner here has just done an autopsy!
They didn't die of poison!
You had me baffled at first, too.
Shuangye couldn't find any poison only because
this is a type of poison which can be seen everywhere.
The death cap.
Consumption of death caps may cause bronchospasm and suffocation.
Being a fungus, after consumption, it mixes with the gastric juice and becomes digested.
The poison disappears from the blood stream and makes it difficult to be detected.
Death caps grow in remote mountains.
Who would normally go to that kind of places?
Only you would.
Because you cultivate herbs.
After murdering Mr. Li and the other three, we arrived at the village.
You thought throwing a few dead fishes next to the river
and putting the blame on Sister Nanzhu would make everything alright.
But how could you have known
you'd encounter this amazingly intelligent
Samo Duoluo?
Bastard.
Bastard!
In order to put the blame on Sister Nanzhu, you stole into her house and placed rune texts of witchcraft.
Sorry for the long wait.
I'm the Chief of Dongshui village.
Unexpectedly, your clothes caught some of the straws Sister Nanzhu uses to make her voodoo dolls.
In order to divert our direction of investigation,
you then murdered mother and daughter Yingying.
That's just too cruel, isn't it?
As a Chief,
with the excuse of protecting the villagers, you kept watch during the night.
This gave you perfect opportunity to commit crime against mother and daughter.
Am I wrong about anything?
Oh right,
I went to
check out that barn of yours.
The barn should have been used to store foodstuff.
But why was the foodstuff
randomly piled up by you outside the barn?
It's obvious that what was originally stored there
was far more valuable than the foodstuff.
It was the gold and silver you stole from the treasury before.
Plus,
the floor of the barn showed marks of heavy goods being recently moved.
I suppose, after hearing that people from Dalisi were coming,
you hastily moved the treasures.
It's a pity that the beggar
happened to see you move them
and thus got murdered by you with poisoned fish.
In order to keep the people away from the well, you deliberately produced a foul stench in it.
So the treasure is hidden inside that well, isn't it?
You bastard! You killed seven people!
Arrest him!
It was all the Chief's doing. That's unbelievable!
Seven lives! He's inhuman!
Where is
the loot?
Just as Samo said,
it‘s at the bottom of the well.
I'm coming!
Somebody get in here!
Where is the wine?
How long has it been already?
Are you ignoring me?
Is anyone there?
I'm coming!
Congratulations, Chancellor Li! Good wishes, Chancellor Li!
Congratulations to what?
To your successful solving of the royal treasury theft case.
To the recovery of the loot.
His Emperor is greatly pleased.
Did you receive any good rewards?
Of course not!
This was a matter within my duty.
Why did I hear that His Emperor granted you a reward right in the Court?
Does my Samo have a share?
It's just a little something, he has no use for it.
Don't give me that.
You solved the case together.
It's finders keepers with the reward.
M-My head hurts.
Stop pretending.
I can't take it.
Chancellor Li, don't give me that.
Er... I'll take my leave for now.
Er, I'll come for a drink another time.
It's like this every time, can't you think of something new?
I, er, I didn't drink that, I'm returning that.
Hey, you forgot something!
That's the reward that was bestowed.
It's yours.
Chancellor Li.
Thanks!
