Detective Chinatown 2 2018

As Qin Feng (Liu Haoran) arrived in New York, he was met with a shocking revelation - his distant uncle Tang Ren’s (Wang Baoqiang) wedding was nothing more than a ruse. In reality, Tang Ren had orchestrated the deception to draw Qin Feng into a web of intrigue that would ultimately test the world’s top detectives. The godfather of Chinatown, Uncle Qi (Kenneth Tsang), convened an elite gathering of online sleuths from the esteemed app Crimaster, offering a five-million-dollar reward for anyone who could solve the murder of his grandson Jason within a week. The gruesome discovery of Jason’s lifeless body in a temple, with his heart torn asunder and an enigmatic symbol etched on a nearby table, only added to the mystique surrounding the case.

Unbeknownst to Qin Feng, he was about to become embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game that would challenge even the most seasoned of detectives. The arrival of another gruesome murder, this time featuring a white woman whose kidney had been excised, led Qin Feng and his counterpart, the world’s third-top detective, to scrutinize the evidence. A crucial piece of footage revealed a figure appearing at both crime scenes, identifying Song Yi (Xiao Yang) as the suspect. However, Qin Feng’s keen eye detected inconsistencies that suggested Song Yi, despite being right-handed, couldn’t be the perpetrator given the left-handed nature of the killings.

As consensus began to build around Song Yi’s guilt, Qin Feng and Tang Ren knew they had to work swiftly to clear his name and uncover the true culprit. Tang Ren’s deep understanding of Feng shui and Wu Xing proved invaluable in deciphering the cryptic clues that linked the murders. The duo discovered that the unique location of each crime scene, the timing of the attacks, and the victims’ birthdays all held significance. By combining this knowledge with an analysis of the organs removed, Qin Feng deduced that New York City was being unwittingly transformed into a giant altar, with the elements fire, water, wood, metal, and earth serving as the foundation for the ritual.

As the investigation progressed, Qin Feng’s exceptional detective work led him to uncover a shocking motive behind the murders. A doctor, desperate to combat his own terminal cancer diagnosis, had become obsessed with the notion that ancient Taoist rituals could grant him immortality. The brutal killings were merely a means to an end, as the doctor sought to harvest organs and harness the city’s energy to further his twisted goals. In a final, desperate act, the doctor took his own life once exposed.

As Qin Feng’s investigative prowess deepens, he uncovers a stunning revelation: the enigmatic figure known only as “Q”, the peerless detective of Crimaster’s elite agency, is none other than Song Yi (character). This mastermind had solved the case with unparalleled speed and then cleverly employed the doctor’s modus operandi to conceal his own sinister motives. It emerges that Song Yi had taken matters into his own hands, brutally eliminating a notorious sex trafficking kingpin who had once abducted his sister. Despite Qin Feng’s decision to release Song Yi from custody, KIKO’s subsequent forensic analysis raises serious doubts about the suspect’s true whereabouts, suggesting that “Q“‘s digital trail doesn’t lead back to America, thereby casting further uncertainty over Song Yi’s guilt or innocence and leaving “Q” still at large, a phantom presence haunting the case.
