When a Snail Falls in Love Episode 1 Recap
> When a Snail Falls in Love Recap
In the hot season of Cambodia, a train was traveling across the plains. Inside the stuffy carriage, the wobbling fan was of no help. Only a portly middle-aged man was talking incessantly. Suddenly, the middle-aged man quieted down. It turned out he was threatened by several hooligans who searched his bag and took his gold watch, also snatching his girlfriend's backpack along the way. At this moment, the man showed none of his previous swagger.
Facing his girlfriend's displeased and disdainful gaze, he could only wave his hand, telling her not to chase after them and cause trouble. When his girlfriend, who went to demand her backpack back, was bullied by the hooligans, he actually just stood by and watched. At this very moment, a handsome man wearing a straw hat, who had been observing from a nearby seat, stood up. He took off his straw hat and walked straight to the hooligans.
He was agile and quick in his movements. Facing the encirclement of the thugs, he showed no fear. With a few punches and kicks, he single-handedly fought against multiple opponents, knocking down a group of them using only chains and cloth ropes. The patrol officers on the train rushed over upon hearing the commotion. The handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes then revealed his police ID — Criminal Investigator from Lin City Public Security Bureau, China, Ji Bai.
After getting off the train and putting on his straw hat again, Ji Bai looked no different from an ordinary person, with a denim jacket and luggage bag. He went straight to a car rental agency and rented a car. He changed into a black suit and white shirt, weaving through the exotic streets of Cambodia, finally arriving at a Chinese antique shop. Ji Bai showed a photo of a pipe to the old shop assistant.
The old assistant said that only those with a special connection could obtain this pipe from the boss. The old assistant led Ji Bai up a dim staircase. At the end was a bright and luxurious reception room. Old photographs covered the walls. As Ji Bai silently gazed at the photos, the antique shop owner, wearing sunglasses, slowly walked out. He was puzzled by Ji Bai's long journey to seek the pipe.
When he heard that the pipe was the relic of Ji Bai's friend's father, the boss's expression showed a hint of emotion. Facing the boss's questions, Ji Bai frankly admitted that he was a Chinese police officer. The boss took off his sunglasses and closed the pipe's box, gazing meaningfully at Ji Bai. Finally, he still gave him the pipe. As Ji Bai walked downstairs, he encountered a man being dragged away by several ruffians.
The man cast a pleading look at Ji Bai. Ji Bai took off his suit and put it in the car, neatly rolling up his shirt sleeves. He followed the trail of the men. The ruffians were holding guns to the man, forcing him to reveal the reason for copying the data. Seeing Ji Bai alone, they each went forward to fight him.
Unexpectedly, Ji Bai's martial arts skills were formidable, and he won a decisive victory in just a few moves. The threatened man also seemed to gain some courage, hitting the ruffians a few hard punches, searching for something, and followed Ji Bai into the car. Ji Bai asked the man what he took from the ruffians. The man only said it was a business secret and refused to elaborate.
Ji Bai pressed further, asking if he could meet 'him' this time. The man reminded Ji Bai not to be too famous in China, as 'he' did not like to meet important figures. After the man gave directions, the two quickly reached their destination. Inside a restaurant, the man told Ji Bai to make himself comfortable and then left alone. Ji Bai observed the restaurant's decor, finding it quite novel.
Unexpectedly, the man returned, only to report that the boss was not home. Ji Bai was displeased. The man sincerely explained again and again. While Ji Bai was looking around the restaurant, he saw someone drinking tea and reading a newspaper who then walked into the back kitchen.
Just as he was about to go in and search, he was stopped by the man, who handed him a note: "Lang is no more, past life unfinished, golden python stirs up troubles in Myanmar, cobra awakens in Lin City, leaves swaying." Ji Bai read the note and chased out, but searched everywhere to no avail. " "" Meanwhile, at the police station, Zhao Han was reporting Ji Bai's whereabouts to Grandpa Ji over the phone.
He happened to be called by a colleague to dispatch reinforcements for a razor-blade assault case in a park. He also learned that two female interns had arrived. At the same time, he received a phone instruction from Ji Bai, stating that one intern's physical fitness was not up to par, and asking Zhao Han to dismiss her. Zhao Han was helpless despite his reluctance. The two interns at the police station each had their own characteristics.
A sharp girl named Yao Meng got along famously with her colleagues, not losing an inch in arm wrestling. A girl named Xu Xu sat quietly on the side, drawing. She frankly admitted that her physical fitness had not passed the test. Zhao Han scoffed that Xu Xu's cartoon was very childish. Unexpectedly, Xu Xu had drawn the scene of everyone messing around in the police station earlier.
Although they were all animals, they perfectly matched the characteristics of each colleague. Zhao Han found the intern very interesting. He intentionally tried to test her using a photo of a capsized sailboat on the wall. To his surprise, Xu Xu answered every question correctly, and immediately drew a picture of a hippopotamus falling into the water for Zhao Han on the spot, making everyone burst into laughter. It also made Zhao Han look at her in a new light.
However, he still subtly revealed that Xu Xu was not suitable for the serious crime unit. Xu Xu, however, immediately pointed out that this was not Zhao Han's attitude, but Ji Bai's. It turned out she had already thoroughly investigated Ji Bai's personality. At the racecourse, Ji Bai was racing horses with a long-haired woman. The woman's name was Ye Zixi. She was Ji Bai's childhood friend. She had always harbored affection for Ji Bai.
Furthermore, both their families were old acquaintances. After receiving the pipe, Ye Zixi was deeply moved. She asked if there were any clues about her father's killer, but Ji Bai informed her that the murderer from that year had already been brought to justice, and her uncle was not involved in the kidnapping.
