Synopsis

Detective Investigation Files II is a 40-episode 1995 Hong Kong TVB detective drama. It is the second installment in the Detective Investigation Files Series and was aired roughly eight months after the first series concluded. Michael Tao, Joey Leung, Kenix Kwok and Louisa So reprise their roles from the original series, along with new cast members Amy Kwok, Joseph Lee and Sammi Cheng. This series featured twelve cases. Tai Yung (Michael Tao Tai-Yu) and Jesse's (Kenix Kwok Ho-Ying) relationship went on really well until Michael's colleague Carmen (Amy Kwok Oi Ming) fell in love with Tai Yung. She is a bit mentally unstable, due to some incidents that have happened to her before when she was in U.K. In one case she got injured trying to save Tai Yung. Tai Yung, as nice as he always is, did everything to help her recover. Everyone with some TV-watching experience can imagine what this may have caused to Tai Yung's and Jessie's relationship. They break up and Carmen took the opportunity to get near Tai Yong, but they never formally get together.
