The Detective (C+ jing taam) (Hong Kong)
The Story:
Tam (Aaron Kwok) is an unsuccessful private eye, who is just somehow trying to make ends meet. One day a guy, who he had talked to at a bar on several occasions, enters his office and asks Tam for help. He tells the private detective that a woman named Sum is following him wherever he goes, and that Tam must find her. He pays in advance. And Tam is just happy that he finally has a job.
The private eye immediately goes on a search for Sum, his only clue being a photo of the girl. During his investigation he finds out where the photo has been taken. The owner of a Mahjong-shop can give him some more information, and therefore he gets the address of Ming, a guy who often played Mahjong with Sum. However, when Tam arrives at Ming's appartment he finds him dead hanging from the ceiling.
The police steps in after this incident, and leading officer Chak (Liu Kai-Chi) thinks of this case as common suicide. Tam and Chak know each other since their childhood days, which is why Tam is allowed to copy some photos from Ming's cell phone. Ming had numerous girlfriends, and during his further investigation the private detective can also track down other individuals that have played with Sum at a mahjong table.
Strangely, every one of the suspects dies on Tam's arrival. Detective Chak has his hands full because of the sudden deaths and he really isn't happy about the fact that Tam can always be found at the crime scene. Nevertheless, contrary to Tam, he still doesn't think that this is a serial murder case. However, Tam has to realize that his investigation becomes more and more life-threatening...
