【第六季第一集】 “朝阳分局有个叫南河的人来电话找您。” 刘青春:“接过来。” 南河:“您好,我这边有个人来自首,理由是杀了自己一个好朋友,留了封信给你。另外,他好像不太会说人话,体型看着很强壮,但是来的时候很虚弱。你什么时候有时间我把信给你送过去。” 刘青春:“… …。不用了,我自己过去取。” 一封信: 刘队,我找到一个方法,让我自己平静下来,于是我写了这封信,决定去自首。这段时间我一直住在一个肮脏的下水道里,我想也许就让所有人把我忘了吧,但是,我忘不了茉莉。 那晚我去看了她们母女,也正是因此她们侥幸没有死,我把她们带到了安全的地方,但嬴雪儿(茉莉)说不想再在北京待着了,她们母女去了宁夏,我有地址,也留给您。 之所以去找南河自首,一是因为我住的下水道其实就在分局附近;二是,我知道他有个死对头叫洪千祖,这个人我在歌舞厅见过,是个神秘又凶狠的人,替代孙美琪来杀茉莉的就是他,而且他和赵惠英认识,我觉得这些对保护她们母女有用。另外,请您务必找到她们,保护她们,我会提供我知道的一切。 我现在很虚弱,也许我的方法只能让我清醒一小会儿,如果我没挺过去,我还有些线索留在了我住的地方。

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

孙美琪疑案 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Academy ZERO has 107 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Pocket Academy ZERO's written reviews are positive against 62% of 孙美琪疑案's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pocket Academy ZERO ships an update every 6 months, 孙美琪疑案 every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
