*hearts us to pieces*

Okay, I could only think of two scenes where we see people come in or leave Zhao Yunlan's apartment: episode 8 (gastritis) and episodes 30/31 (Zhang Shi reveal). Here's what I've got:

For this one, we don't need a locksmith so much as one of those TV tech people who can take an incredibly blurry indistinct image and make it super clear. ;-p

(Click through for bigger image.) Still not 100% clear, but better. (Whyyyy won't they just show us his inside door? What are they hiding?? ;D)

However, in the latter scene, at ep 31, 10:57, the door was closed by Vice Minister Guo when he left, and now Zhao Yunlan storms out, just using the door handle, which is articulated. He only uses one hand. If it was a spring latch that locked automatically when you shut it, he couldn't do that, right? And when they came in, he definitely didn't stop to snib it unlocked. So I think it must be a deadbolt. Thoughts?
