The Detective 2

Synopsis: Bumbling private detective Chan Tam (Aaron Kwok) is enlisted by police pal Fung Chak (Liu Kai Chi) to help in the investigation of a serial murder case. The victims - a middle-aged man killed at home, a dead woman found in the trash dump, and a teenage girl slain in the park - were all killed in grisly manners, but they didn't seem related to each other. Without any clue to follow up on, Tam is decidedly at his wits' end. But when Chak is seriously wounded by a mysterious assailant, Tam deduces that the only way to uncover the truth is to get into the mind of the deranged killer, and in so doing he is forced to face a long-hidden side of himself...

That year I was twelve,

I asked again where my parents are.

She finally told me the truth.

When my mother found out

about my father's affair,

she turned psychotic.

When I was one month old,

my mother stabbed my father to death.

And she tried to jump off

from the window with me.

Luckily the sister next door grabbed me

in time,

but my mother fell by herself and died.

I've been an orphan ever since.

Since then, I started living

with the sister who saved me.

I never got upset for being a orphan.

Because I have a loving and caring sister.

This one really got a mole.

That's right, before my mother died,

she told me that

I have a twin brother.

I always thought that we me on both sides

in the picture.

Don't worry, even a murder case

I could solve it splendidly.

Finding your brother is just

a piece of cake.

I know that.

I have read about your wonderful

achievement from the newspaper.

Excuse me, I got to take this call.

Chan Tam Private Investigator.

Tam, I am Bulky.

You're getting famous now

and you already forgot your buddy.

Bulky.

We're buddy, stop teasing me.

Thanks for your help last time.

So you remember,

when will you settle the bill?

Bulky, I have a client now.

I will call you later

at the bank in a while, bye.

What were we talking about just now?

Chak, the superior is

so pleased that you solved

the murder case of Mok Wai Sum.

I'm now giving you a chance to learn

from Inspector Lo.

This will help your promotion

in the future.

Then you'll be inspector trainee

and I'll be senior inspector.

You two are partners from now on.

Yes, sir!

You should learn from me from now on,

there wouldn't be any problem.

Lo, how's the murder case going?

I've sent our informants

to get a line on it.

It'll soon be done, don't worry.

Good, wrap it up as soon as possible.

I've sent people to look for the officer

who investigated the missing case

of your parents.

But 10 years ago,

he was found having contact with

some drug dealers.

He was fired and went missing since then.

That's all you found?

That's it.

But don't worry,

I will do my best to track him down.

Hey, shouldn't you get promotion

for solving the murder case of Mok Wai Sum?

How come you don't get promoted?

I will get promoted but I don't know when.

Now I am under a prick

who takes all credits and dodges

all responsibilities.

Everyone knows that it's hard to perform

well being his subordinate.

But you'll see that I wouldn't let him

lead me by the nose.

I want you to be my informant

for getting me a promotion.

No way.

You will get paid, punk.

Well, you didn't say it upfront.

Oh, by the way,

can't your team help you out at all?

They have been working for me

for over 10 years.

They should long be gone

if they were any more competent.

They can never be as smart

as the one-and-only Chan Tam

Of course.

If it wasn't

for my serious nearsightedness...

I could be your boss as well.

Are you dreaming?

Now look into the case for me seriously.

The deceased, Lo Kwok Tung, 45 years old.

Without any wife or kid.

He died in his suite...

with his chest

and back stabbed over 20 times.

The weapon we found in the crime scene

is a fruit knife bent

from repeated stabbings.

There's no fingerprints on it.

There's no signs of robbery in the suite.

The neighbors said the deceased was

a sex maniac.

But there's one thing suspicious...

we found a posthumous letter in his room,

it seems to be left by his wife

And it read like this...

I have been married to him

for over 20 years

and we have our own kid too.

But he has an affair with another woman!

Staying alive could only

make me suffer more.

I hate men!

I have to jump off the building with him!

Literally, his wife killed him.

But...

So we suspected that the murderer

is trying to divert our attention.

He is really trying to distract us.

But is the murderer a man or a woman?

Hey!

Come in.

(Thai) Hey!

He's one of us.

What do you mean?

He's my informant from Chinatown,

he's Tam.

The so-called great detective

on the newspaper, right?

It's just vanity.

I can never as good as Officer Lo.

I'm here trying to learn from you.

Just look, keep your hands off.

Yes, sir!

How's it going?

The Indian discovered the body

The forensic expert says the female

deceased had been sexually assaulted.

There are bruises on her neck,

she should be strangled to death.

The case happened

in the small hours today.

We suspect the deceased was being

followed to the scene and got killed.

Chak, come here!

That lunatic is having his fits again.

Let's meet at nine in the bar.

We'd talk then.

Okay.

I'm coming!

What have you got?

The name of the deceased is Cheng Mei Fan,

At first we thought the deceased

was being raped.

But the forensic report says

the wound in her genitals

was caused by a wooden dowel found

in the crime scene.

And there's no fingerprints on it.

Is there the primary scene?

It's not very likely.

Because there're scratches on her back.

She might have been dragged on the floor.

These wounds were made after her death.

And I think...

the dowel...

it's just a garbage at the scene,

the murderer grabbed

it as weapon randomly...

Or is it left over by the murderer?

If there's no fingerprints on the dowel

it's left over by the murderer for sure.

Hey, you're doomed.

Damn, losing so soon.

One more game.

Is the deceased a hooker?

How do you know?

She really is.

She was hanging out so late in the night

with such outfit and makeup,

how could she be a decent woman?

You're right,

you know damned well about that.

I think everything in the scene

seems put together too deliberately.

As it the murderer intended

to leave those clues,

especially the wounds

on the victim's back,

for fear that no one would know

he moved the dead body.

If he wants to mislead the police

into believing that's the primary scene,

he wouldn't have done so.

He is trying to make you think that

it's not the primary scene.

This guy knows how things work

in the police,

he left those clues on purpose.

The murderer... might as well be a cop.

Hey, cut that crap.

He's not only a smart cop

but also a successful transgressor.

The murderer...

...might be an impotent sex pervert.

An able guy wouldn't use a dowel.

Hey, why are you looking at me?

Relax, I am not saying it's you.

Of course it's not me!

I mean you're not a smart cop.

But I'm not sure about your virility.

Nonsense!

I'm gonna wipe off all your pieces.

Really?

Cannon to the central!

Serious?

What now? Are you scared?

I'd like to defend first.

Call me impotent?

I'll show you what I got.

Hey.

(Thai) You still owe me money,

dare you borrow from me again?

(Thai) I told you to settle your debt first,

before I may consider another loan.

(Thai) I have been looking

for you for so long.

(Thai) Let me tell you,

if you don't settle your debt,

(Thai) I will buy two coffins for you.

(Thai) One for you and one for your father.
