Relax.

I'm blind. I can't see a thing.

I'm not blind, though.

Don't look.

Why am I here?

You were drunk last night.

I brought you here.

Thank you.

Are you totally blind?

Yes. Pitch black.

You can't see a thing?

3,000 square feet?

3,600.

On what street?

Durham Road.

Kowloon Tong... low density housing.

Costs more than $20K per sq. ft.

Worth $70M?

- Are you on the take?

- What'd you mean?

I inherited the money from my parents.

I'm now the only member in the family.

It'll be my dowry.

You'll help find Minnie for me, won't you?

Yes...

...but it'll be costly.

$1M

- I thought you said half a mil.

- Are you kidding? No way.

I'm God of detectives.

- Any problem?

- No.

Apply for your leave.

- Why would I do that?

- You can learn from me.

I'll teach you a few masterstrokes.

Free of charge.

- Thank you, thank you.

- My pleasure.

Listen to this case.

Homicide case.

17-Apr-92

Wednesday night.

Kowloon public morgue.

Police!

You'll be Uncle Kao. I'll be Tak.

- Yell at me.

- How?

Brainless! Moron!

Use your imagination.

Brainless! Moron!

Brainless! Moron!

- Brainless!

- Do you think with your ass?

Pig!

Do you think with your ass? Pig!

Again, More fierce.

D*ckhead!

Pig!

Uncle Kao is from Chiuchow.

Use the dialect.

D*ckhead!

Pig!

You know nothing.

You aren't human.

As stupid as a pig.

You know nothing.

D*ckhead!

Moron! Have you left your brain at home?

I've told you. Imbecile!

Let me tell you.

You're worse than a pig.

As stupid as a pig.

Your brain is full of sh*t.

A**hole, have you finished?

What?

It doesn't break.

Harder.

Let's swap roles. I'll play

Tak, and you, Uncle Kao.

A**hole, have you finished?

- How is that?

- Doesn't look right.

Forget it.

Let's start again.

A**hole, have you finished?

Did you bring your brain to work?

Wait! Wait a sec.

You hit too hard. Let's swap.

But you can't see.

It's ok. I'll manage.

Crawl! Quick!

Quick!

Tak is coming from behind, like mad.

He hit him nine times.

One, two...

Stop!

Uncle Kao was seriously injured.

He couldn't have crawled so fast.

Back to the original position.

Act slowly this time.

You're injured badly.

You're doomed.

Keep crawling.

You're a piece of dead meat now.

Stop! Stop!

What?

You're emotionally inconsistent.

You were very mad

Why did you behave like this?

It's not right for you to strike him...

...and then waited before you

hit him nine more times outside.

What happened in between?

The takeaway?

Who ordered takeaway?

Diarrhea?

What's more urgent than killing a person?

To kill another person.

There's a third person.

A third person entered into the scene...

...after Tak had hit Uncle Kao once.

Tak had to leave Uncle Kao behind...

...and chased after that third person.

- I need a third person.

- Here. Let me play him.

Wait...No!

The police didn't find any bloodstain

at the scene of the crime.

Tak didn't kill with a hammer.

The victim was strangled to death.

The timing fits. Get one

of them to play Uncle Kao.

- Me

- Me

You! You raised your hand faster.

When I start strangling, crawl.

Can I struggle?

Of course. This is normal.

It hurts!

Ouch!

You can't strangle me like this.

Let's swap.

You're blind.

Alright!

Again?

Yes.

You're blind.

I know. One, two, three.

Sorry. I played it for real.

After him.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Wasted.

The time matches.

Johnston?

Who's the one being strangled?

The police didn't find his body.

That means you've fixed it.

Why did you fix him...

...but not him?

Where have you been in the last two decades?

Higher. Ready? Drop it.

Right. That's the way it was smashed.

But why smash the TV set?

What triggered such behaviour?

What program was aired on

Wednesday nights 20 years ago?

Enjoy Yourself Tonight.

The other channel?

It's horse-racing on live.

Now I know.

Let's go and eat.

We won't need these. Thank you.

- Here's $2 change

- Thanks

Two noodles.

Long time no see. I thought you were dead.

This is super-delicious.

I used to come here with Szeto.

Did you see that?

The Dance School on the

second floor behind you.

- See that?

- Yup. Tango Blue, right?

Go check if she's in.

- What's the case about?

- A big case. Go.

OK.

- Don't f*** it up.

- Yes.

She coming down.

Who?

The lady, what shall we do?

Don't look. Pretend eating.

Easy.

Seems like you're the

nervous one. Who's she?

A wanted criminal?

She 's got on a car. Shall we follow her?

Johnston?

No need. Mission accomplished.

Two more to take away, please.

OK.

Take off your shoes.

I've just washed the floor.

What's up?

Why so excited?

She's back.

Who?

This is nice, who are you talking about?

What're you eating?

Intestines.

What am I doing?

Tangoing.

Your future wife?

Right. My future wife.

Don't you remember?

You helped me find her at that time.

But she went away.

I've never thought

I'd run into her four years later.

I'm destined to marry her.

Have you ever thought...

...your future wife might have married.

You have a foul mouth.

She's most probably someone's wife.

Touch wood!

- It's been a long time and

she's 30 already.- Touch wood!

- It's perfectly normal to get married.

- Touch wood!

A beautiful woman like her

must have lots of suitors.

Touch wood!

Right.

Harder...Harder.

Touch wood!

It's all mold and rot.

One can't live here anymore.

I'm not used to work out of home.

But this is a complicated case.

I'd like to move in and feel things.

No additional charge.

Sure. Many thanks.

My pleasure.

Where's my room?

What do you think? Is that OK?

It'll do.

I'd like my wardrobe be set up

just like the way at home.

Suits on the left, shirts on the right.

Casual wear and pajamas in the bottom.

Let's watch TV together, goldie.

Johnston?

I'm contemplating.

Excuse me.

You were looking at Minnie from here?

She was standing across the street.

Go down and shout to me.

I'd like to feel it.

OK.

Johnston, over here.

Good.

Hello?

Did Minnie behave strangely...

...while she was waiting for you?

She came here right after school.

It was the same for several nights.

But I did remember...

...she was raising her hand at me.

I didn't know what that meant.

She slit her wrist.

She wanted me to know she was very unhappy.

Why didn't I realise that?

And yet you knew right away.

I'm blind, but I can read people's mind.

Why are you blind?

I was on a case...

...four years ago.

I was waiting for the suspect

to show his face.

I started to see dark patches...

...on the seventh day.

But I didn't pay any attention to that.

The next day, the suspect showed up.

I chased frentically after

him until I caught him.

But I became blind after that.

Retinal detachment...

...the doctor said it's too late.

Which one is Minnie?

Check whose feet will fit the sneaker.

Minnie's feet have grown so much?

I gave her a pair of red shoes.

This is the police. Line up.

Take off your shoes, one by one.

Left foot, please.

What's up?
