Dialogue[]
Read Zhu Yuan's DM[]
Someone recommended a comedy detective movie to me. Sound familiar to you by any chance?
REPLYThat's a loaded question...
Can you give me more keywords?
Hmm, it's about a down-and-out detective who starts experiencing strange consciousness gaps, and suddenly his case-solving rate skyrockets?
Oh, and there's a kid! Strange things start happening after the detective adopts a child.
Is it really a comedy? Putting it like that makes it sound pretty scary.
REPLYI think I know what it is. Let me check what we have.
I'll look for it later.
Okay.
Collect the "More Than One Truth" videotape[]
Read Zhu Yuan's DMs[]
How about the videotape we talked about earlier?
REPLYIs it "More Than One Truth"?
It's called "More Than One Truth," right?
I'm not sure. I only remember the cover... a man with an extravagant hairstyle?
REPLYThat's the one.
This movie is known for its bizarre hairstyles.
You're truly reliable, Manager. When can I come to get the tape?
REPLYWhenever you're free, dear customer.
I've put it aside for you. Come by anytime.
Why are you being so polite all of a sudden? Alright, thank you.

Watch the videotape with Zhu Yuan[]
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: I just finished patrolling and thought I'd come over to grab a videotape.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan)
- Zhu Yuan: Oh, that's the one. Yeah!
- Zhu Yuan: You're just like a walking talking human movie database! I knew coming to you would be the right decision.
- Story summary:
-
- You watched "More Than One Truth" with Zhu Yuan and learned some peculiar crime-related facts along the way...
- Zhu Yuan: Oh, this hairstyle is quite flashy. Isn't this usually the kind of style that delinquents go for?
The flashier, the better.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Well, the protagonist is a middle-aged man who (isn't exactly the definition of a model citizenisn't exactly the definition of a model citizen /
doesn't exactly go by the bookdoesn't exactly go by the book). But in a movie like this, the flashier the hairstyle, the better. - Zhu Yuan: Huh? Why's that?
- Because it's easy to expand the story from there.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): As long as the (protagonistprotagonist /
protagprotag) makes his entrance with that bizarre hairstyle, the story can then develop in a million possible ways. As for that middle-aged man... - (ProtagonistProtagonist): He could be someone who likes to make wild guesses about the case, someone who is bullied by spoiled brats, or even someone who loses his memory 365 times a year. (Anything is plausible.Anything is plausible. /
Anything feels possible.Anything feels possible.) - Zhu Yuan: ...Manager, were you doling out spoilers just now?
- Ah...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Ah...Ah... /
Oops...Oops...) - To make amends for the spoilers, you rewatch "More Than One Truth" with Zhu Yuan...
- Zhu Yuan: Hahaha, that's hilarious! That guy actually started snoring halfway through solving the case! That kid must have the toughest job in the world.
- I was worried you wouldn't like it.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I'm relieved to see you laughing.I'm relieved to see you laughing. /
Glad you're finding it funny.Glad you're finding it funny.) I was worried you wouldn't like it. - Zhu Yuan: Huh? Why would you think that?
- I was worried that a professional would hate it.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It's a comedy that's neither accurate nor serious. You are a Public Security Officer, after all. I was worried you might find the story senseless, or even insulting.It's a comedy that's neither accurate nor serious. You are a Public Security Officer, after all.

- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I'm relieved to see you laughing.I'm relieved to see you laughing. /
- Kudos to the protagonist. He made you laugh!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I can't believe you laughed. That's the first time I've seen you do that. Kudos to the protagonist.I can't believe you laughed. That's the first time I've seen you do that. Kudos to the protagonist. /
Wow, did you just laugh? That's a first for me! Kudos to the protagonist!Wow, did you just laugh? That's a first for me!

- Zhu Yuan: Haha, how else can you make people laugh if not by making it ridiculous? I'm not so out of it that I expect everything to be done by the book in a comedy.
- Zhu Yuan: Besides, I've actually gained a lot of inspiration from it!
- Zhu Yuan: In this episode, the culprit cleaned the scene very thoroughly in an attempt to cover up his wrongdoing.
- Zhu Yuan: He did manage to get rid of the evidence, but it wasn't enough to cover his tracks completely.
- Why not?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Why's that?Why's that? /
Eh? Why not?Eh? Why not?) - Zhu Yuan: Anyone who checked his utility bills would've noticed something was off. With the amount of cleaning he did, his water usage would be unusually high.
- Zhu Yuan: We Public Security Officers would've focused our investigation on the family members of the victim first, instead of immediately treating it as a missing person case.
- I'd never have thought of that!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I never would'veI never would've /
I'd never haveI'd never have) thought of that! You're amazing! - Zhu Yuan: Haha, it's not about us being particularly skilled. The crime itself is just inherently flawed.
- Zhu Yuan: Evil never goes unnoticed in this world, and the more sophisticated the deception, the easier it is to uncover.
- Zhu Yuan: The stronger the order established by Public Security, the more resilient we become against crime.
- Zhu Yuan: That's the purpose of having a routine.
- Zhu Yuan: Anyway, my time here was well spent watching such an intriguing movie. I'll recommend this place to my colleagues!
- (Zhu Yuan can now promote the video store)
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: I'm going to recommend your store to everyone I know.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)
- Zhu Yuan: I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I saw a pretty great movie today.
