We were mistaken. You're notYam Man.
You're pregnant!
Thanks for the present, Honey.
Why must you stand in my way?
I want to uphold justice and help those in need.
I want to be like Yam Man.
You've made a grave mistake.
If you choose to remain obsessed and persist in your mistakes,
you should reconsider whether you should stay on at the Bureau.
Yeung Mau can hit so hard!
Who is it?
It's Yeung Mau!
What do you need at this late hour?
Can I come inside?
I'm injured and in pain.
Can you poke me with your needles?
It's inappropriate for me to touch you.
You're a doctor, come on...
What happened to you?
Chuen-kung!
Yeung Mau has left a letter.
Say nothing! You keep your mouth shut!
Neither of you has anything nice to say.
I haven't said a word!
Obviously you're treating her
or she came to you for treatment.
That's right!
Tai-lik has been worried sick about you.
I was worried you'd kill yourself,
so I fetched Cheung-sing to check on you.
We saw the letter you left behind
and came to discuss with Chuen-kung what we should do.
Tai-lik, I'm sorry I ignored your advice,
and thought you were the bad guy!
I intended to run away,
but I ran into Yam Man
and he made me come to my senses.
Yam Man? Who is he?
Did you fight him?
What does he look like?
What about his kung fu?
Though he was wearing a mask,
his charm lies not in appearance alone,
but that unreachable prospect.
You can tell from his voice he has been through the mill.
He's witty with words, each of them a gem.
He made me realise my mistake.
He's a real man.
That's awesome!
And we're fakes?
You may be well versed in kung fu,
but you're nothing to look at.
You simply can't tickle anyone's fancy.
And you look like a man too,
I have no fantasies about you either.
You'd better not get any ideas about me.
Great! We'll work as a team like brothers.
I won't treat you like men.
Don't treat me like a woman either.
We'll be the 4 Sun Tigers, the best of all fighters, alright?
Just let me say acupuncture is not painful.
Let's fortify defenses and raze the fields.
Don't start any lovey-dovey business
and there'll be no embarrassment.
Who's embarrassed? Not me!
Then let's go!
Fine, let's go!
Go on, you don't scare me!
Let's go!
You can keep your suicide note!
Come on!
Let's go!
Give her the needles. I'll leave the door open.
There is plenty of fish in the sea.
The fishmonger's daughter is not bad.
Don't try to console me!
They call me the Ladykiller.
The girls at Yee Heung Lau fight to kiss me.
I'm hungry, let's find something to eat.
You have an appetite for food; I have one for sex. We're a pair!
What?
A man and a woman in a room together?
Something is going on.
Stop those wild thoughts. Maybe it's work related.
Then why is their hair all messed up?
Just don't go shooting off your mouth!
Don't ruin it for them.
I want what's best for everyone.
Let's go!
I want to watch this.
Watch what?
Hey...
To the left...higher...
It's even worse now!
Make up your mind where you want it!
What's the big deal about the flag?
It's called the Speedy Standard.
It's for the annual Lonely Ghost Ceremony.
What is that? Lonely toast or roast?
He's new. He doesn't know.
The Lonely Ghost Ceremony
is a day to commemorate those who died in the line of duty.
It's a day we pray for the martyrs
and also for the Sun and Moon Sections to compete with each other.
Each team will send their Commander onto the roof by building a human pyramid.
The Commanders will fight for the silk ball and the Speedy Standard.
Whoever grabs it and waves it in the air is the winner.
That sounds like fun.
Only for the Moon Section.
We have lost in the last few years,
and haven't even touched the flag.
It's rather spooky!
All the Commanders of the Sun Section
either quit because of an illness or died in action.
Cheung-sing has enough aura
and having a child brings good luck.
This time our luck will change.
Hey...
I'd better grab my chance to make some money
That's clear enough!
"The Sun Wins" or "the Moon Section Wins"?
Take your pick!
Come on...place your bets!
What should it be?
I don't know!
Put your money on the Sun Section!
That's like throwing money into the sea.
Exactly!
That's right!
That's not true!
Never say never...We do stand a chance.
That's right!
I bet the Sun Section will win!
I bet "Pak-nin will fall on his back"!
That's right!
"Chu Cheung-sing will be on all fours and bow his head".
30 taels on credit. Dare take my bet?
You have the guts to take that bet?
That's a big bet!
Are you afraid?
I'm afraid you'll lose and end up sleeping on the street.
Commander She has never lost before.
Of course not!
He'll be the next Commissioner of the Bureau
The toilet seat is for him, not the Commissioner's seat.
Chuen-kung, His Majesty is your buddy.
Tell these clowns who the next Commissioner will be.
You'll all be eunuchs if you won't shut up.
You're the eunuch!
That's you!
You're the eunuch!
It's about time Cheung-sing gets the flag.
Commander She!
Let's go practise!
Let's get to work!
I have an autopsy...
These clowns have the nerve to gamble!
And leave things lying around!
I'll teach them a lesson for you.
Enjoy your bath!
We haven't said anything! Why are they so scared?
It doesn't matter who gets the Speedy Standard.
We haven't had such a bustle in a long time.
Competition leads to progress.
That's right.
Win or lose, it doesn't matter,
as long as it's fair and we try our best.
You've been to war in the past 10 years.
I only have scars to show for my hard work.
When the bandit Yeung Kwai went on a killing rampage,
I tried to arrest him
and he grabbed me when he jumped off a cliff.
Luckily a tree broke my fall,
but gave me this scar.
It's as long as my palm.
Every scar is a result of a fierce battle.
I must stay on my toes at all times,
or else I'm likely to end up dead!
You risk your life while I seek ease and comfort in Wuzhou.
I envy you for having wife and family.
Is there a girl who meets your fancy?
I dare not think of marriage.
I've seen so much life and death.
I'd rather be free from care.
I see, greater responsibility with greater ability.
I take it one step at a time.
I feel sorry for the girl who loves you.
She'll have to be an old maid.
My girl must understand that.
The people are in luck to have a commander like you.
One reaps what he has sown.
Master Fung and the others can see
what you have done for the Bureau.
The body has been buried for over 30 years.
It's impossible to identify it.
The knife wound to the chest proves it's murder.
Judging from the bone fracture,
the killer was using a...
Be careful with that!
What's wrong? You seem absent minded.
I feel heavy in the chest,
I feel something bad is about to happen.
I'm scared of things from the height
as well as sharp weapons.
I'm just scared of everything.
When I'm scared, I want to throw up.
When I throw up, I feel dizzy.
These are typical symptoms of pregnancy.
Give me your hand.
Your wife is having the baby, not you.
Your pulse is steady and strong,
you're fit enough to kill a tiger.
I have cramps...
Let me help you with some stretching...
No, I can manage!
It hurts and I want to throw up.
Which is it?
Both! It goes around in a cycle.
It's an illness of the mind.
One's mood can actually affect one's mobility.
Cheung-sing wanted children so badly.
It's possible he's overstrung.
I'm no help to you in your investigation.
It's not that serious. You just need rest.
You'll be fine if you can ease your mind.
Sir? What?
Chuen-kung can handle the case on his own.
Everyone is signing the duty roster;
and we don't have any major cases.
His Majesty is doing his job and there's peace and order.
Why don't I take a month off?
In your dreams! You have 2 days.
2 weeks.
3 days.
10 days.
5 days.
Deal! I'll go home and rest.
When Chuen-kung comes up with the name,
I'll carve it on the crib. It'll look great.
It's not balanced. I need a hammer...
Here!
What are you doing out here?
Go back to your room! Don't touch...
Touch wood!
Chuen-kung said the baby is fine
and I need to move around instead of sitting there all day.
Are you sure?
Of course!
Come over here!
See? It rocks!
After I've made a table, a chair and a wooden horse,
I'll fence off the backyard
so that the baby can run around and play.
You'll be here when I give birth?
Of course! But I need to think of a plan.
Let's sit down.
You can't fool Master Fung.
He knows you too well.
He knows you're faking it.
I can't ease my mind unless I get to watch over you.
The Lonely Ghost Ceremony is coming.
You can't miss all that food and fun.
Who wants that bloody Speedy Standard?
Pak-nin won't like it if I take it,
but if I don't,I'll be letting the boys down
You don't want to fight with Pak-nin?
You're so smart!
At daybreak I leave Baidi amidst clouds aglow,
A thousand miles to Jiangling is a mere day's flow.
Whilst monkeys cry incessantly from bank to bank,
I've skiffed past a myriad mountains row after row!
Nice! Li Bai is such a great poet!
Are you alright, Miss Ma?
What is it? I'm a doctor.
She's having a seizure.
Stuff something into her mouth,
so she won't bite on her tongue.
With what?
You've knocked her out!
She has bloodsucking epilepsy.
Once bitten by her, you will not stop bleeding
and may pass it on to the next generation.
Ma Chuen-kung is a brilliant doctor.
He must be able to cure Miss Ma.
I'd better take her away.
Go ahead!
Why does it feel like I've been bitten by an ant?
She might have passed on the illness to you.
You'll soon feel dizzy and nauseous
and then keel over and die.
No, I don't feel that.
Maybe not yet, but soon.
Hey...Are you alright?
I thought you passed out!
I know you're trying to get rid of me,
but spare me such underhanded tactics.
Do you still want this pack of blood?
So what if we're toying with you?
You'd better not try to date Wan-ling again.
They call me the Handsome Dragon.
Find yourself another girl.
You can forget about Wan-ling.
You're nothing to look at anyway.
What do you want?
It's your loss!
I'm only here because of my parents.
Bloodsucking epilepsy?!.
Stinker!
I pricked him with the venom ring.
Why didn't it work on him?
Who cares? As long as he'll go away.
No, I must find out! Can I borrow your hand?
You must be kidding!
If you won't help me,
how else can I find out if it works?
Hey...you'll get me killed!
Don't be stupid! It'll only be itchy for a few days.
Then try it on yourself!
I want to try it on you!
No way...alright!
Where's Sap-kau?
I've been walking too long!
Yes!
Sit down!
You should do this...
What's going on?
We're trying to make a head pop out.
Put this pack of blood in your mouth.
Bite on it and blood will be gushing out!
Then stick your head out.
You'll scare the customers to death!
That's outrageous!
You didn't let me in on something fun!
Here...
What?
Bite on it...
Bite!
Yes! Now roll your eyes...
Stick out your tongue!
That's scary! My heart is racing...
Stupid is as stupid does!
Master Tai has turned down the marriage proposal. Happy now?
He thinks I'm not good enough for him.
Only because you refuse to do better.
You just hang out with the likes of Hung Sap-kau.
You loaf around playing mahjong and toying with people.
You want to be Kwan Chiu again?
You should be a lady who wears a dress
and won't show your teeth when you smile.
I might as well shave my head and be a nun.
I'm too busy to watch over you.
Chuen-kung, actually...
Quiet! Look who's talking!
You're too old to do something so stupid.
Wan-ling you have nothing to gain from hanging out with them.
I'm looking for a husband for you.
I don't want to get married.
I'm not trying to hurt you!
Forcing her to get married is hurting her!
She'll suffer for life!
Spare me your idiotic theories!
If you want to get married, go ahead.
Leave your sister alone.
Wan-ling is good with poison.
She's smart and has a promising future.
It's her wish to join the Phecda Bureau.
Why won't you let her?
She's worse off than before with a brother like you.
She might as well disown you!
Why must you make her cry?
Rather than find a good catch,
why not live a good life?
You're an arrogant selfish pig who likes to boss people around.
I finally see a tad of wisdom in Sap-kau.
Rather than find a good catch,
why not live a good life?
That made a lot of sense.
So?
I won't change my mind.
How could he?
They're all being ridiculous!
Sap-kau has a point.
With your sister's knowledge on poison,
she can help you with your work.
I never said I needed any help.
Joining the Bureau means serving the country
That sounds so grand and promising.
How can you speak with such conviction?
Why not? I have nothing to hide.
I know you chickened out.
You used your wife's pregnancy as an excuse to doge the Lonely Ghost Ceremony.
You call that nothing?
You don't even want to be part of the Bureau
How can you recommend my sister?
That's a separate matter.
You're throwing in the towel.
I'm giving Pak-nin what he wants.
He has had the Speedy Standard for 10 years,
and has done so much for the Bureau.
He deserves to have the flag.
"Only the capable one deserves it."
That I find true!
Why haggle over a bloody flag?
No doubt you're quite gifted,
but you have a woman's soft nature.
We all know you're throwing the match.
You don't think Pak-nin knows it too?
He won't want to win like that!
People will only gossip behind his back
and you'll only humiliate him.
What kind of example are you setting for your son?
To be someone forthcoming or sneaky?
Think about it!
That's enough! You've been practising for 4 hours.
I'm fine! I want the Speedy Standard.
I want everyone to know I deserve to win.
Cheung-sing is ill.
Then people will start to gossip.
Even if he's in, he won't take it seriously.
Listen, even when he's horsing around,
he can still do a better job than me.
That's what makes him scary.
I must be on my toes!
Who is it?
Greetings, Prince Tuen!
At ease!
I'm hunting nearby.
Luckily it's you, Pak-nin
or I would have injured someone.
You're too kind, Sir!
You're a rare talent.
I tried to recruit you into the Ministry of War.
What a shame you turned me down!
Now that the situation has changed,
will you change your mind?
I'm indebted to Master Fung.
I'm afraid I have to decline your kindness.
Good! I admire your loyalty.
But don't forget, one should find the proper master to serve.
Thank you, Your Highness.
He thinks highly of you.
The Phecda Bureau reports directly to His Majesty.
Prince Tuen can't possibly be more powerful than His Majesty.
Why should I betray His Majesty?
I turned down Prince Tuen's offer.
Because he has the Empress Dowager's support
Prince Tuen has been extending his power by recruiting more help.
He's quite an ambitious man.
We can't let that go on forever.
I'll always fight alongside you, Sir!
I'm getting old. I'm placing the Bureau in you guys' hands.
It's time I considered my successor.
I'm prepared to take over anytime you're ready.
I know...Your effort won't be wasted.
I won't let you down, Sir.
(Sun Section)
(Moon Section)
Moon Section will win because of Pak-nin.
Sun Section will win because of Cheung-sing.
How? Cheung-sing isn't even here!
Sir!
Cheung-sing should be back from leave. Where is he?
He's probably in the toilet.
The Lonely Ghost Ceremony is meaningful.
He's forfeiting if he's late.
It's still early.
We can start with the greasing.
Start greasing!
Yes, Sir!
Put on as much as you can.
Make it so slippery that they'll all slide down.
Will Cheung-sing chicken out?
Chuen-kung can take his place.
Place your bets. Cheung-sing will be here.
Why are you so sure? You have something on him?
Let's not wait anymore.
Sorry...I'm late!
I was in the toilet from eating too much yam.
I haven't fought for the flag in 10 years.
I'm so excited just looking at it.
Get ready, everyone!
I won't go easy on you.
I won't yield either!
Let the Ceremony begin!
Hurry!
Hold on!
Give me your foot!
Steady...
Stand still, Tai-lik!
Two more steps!
Up!
Hang in there, Tai-lik!
Cheung-sing!
Cheung-sing...
Be careful!
Go for it, Cheung-sing!
Come on...
Yeung Mau!
Watch out!
The Sun Section wins!
Have some tea, Master Fung!
Do you know why the Moon Section always beat the Sun Section?
Because Pak-nin was too strong?
No doubt Pak-nin is gifted.
The Sun Section is like a heap of loose sand.
No doubt they're gifted in their own ways
but they refuse to yield.
I bet that is why you went all the way to get me from Wuzhou.
The Bureau is counting on you.
Now you're scaring me!
I'm soft like a woman, I won't amount to anything significant.
Pak-nin is too methodical, conservative
and too eager to succeed.
While you have a kind heart,
and you're still water runs deep.
No one can crack a case by instinct but you,
and everyone at the Sun Section respects you
I can't even fill out the duty roster.
The duty roster is to monitor the stupid ones.
But I'm crude and careless!
You snuck inside the Bureau of Military Affairs to steal the log.
That required meticulous planning.
But I'm married, Pak-nin is better.
Enough of your excuses!
I watched you grow up.
The stronger the opponent, the tougher you become.
You won't give up easily if you face a strong opponent.
I believe if the Bureau faces a crisis,
you can turn things around
but Pak-nin doesn't have the ability.
That's enough! You're on duty tomorrow.
The stronger the opponent, the tougher he becomes? What about me?
I pledged my loyalty to him,
and turned down Prince Tuen's offer.
In the end, he passed over me!
I wasted the past 10 years of my life.
We wasted the last 10 years brewing this wine!
Wine usually gets better with age,
but you must consider other factors.
The yeast for this 10 year-old wine was only mediocre.
That's why even in another 10 years,
it still won't be as good as the other jug that's 6 months old.
If you knew its nature was mediocre,
why bother to brew it at all?
I need to sell cheap wines too!
Different strokes for different folks!
I'm the cheap wine?
How noble is Chu Cheung-sing?
How can he ignore my contribution for the last 10 years?
I was the one who held everything together.
What has Chu Cheung-sing done?
He was sweeping chicken bones in Wuzhou!
He got by with clever tricks and shortcuts.
Go to Hell, Chu Cheung-sing!
Hey...
Go to Hell!
That's enough! I'll report you to the authorities if you won't stop!
Fire...
What is it?
Borough Chief!
What happened?
The post-mortem examiner's house is on fire.
Where is he?
Still inside!
Alert the fire department!
Right!
What's the name of the post-mortem examiner?
How many members in his family?
Ho Yat-shan is the post-mortem examiner for Wood Village.
The fire happened at midnight,
his family of 4 all died in the fire,
including his mother, wife and son.
The killer locked the door from the outside.
It was obviously arson!
This is the Borough Chief!
Hello!
Commander!
Did Ho Yat-shan have any quarrels with anyone?
Shan was a quiet chap.
Gambling was his only vice.
He owed Supreme Casino a lot of money.
How do you know?
2 days ago, I saw Wai from Supreme Casino chasing Shan for his debt.
You borrowed money to gamble,
but you never paid us back!
If you don't pay up in the next 2 days,
I'll burn your house down!
Don't! Please give me a few days!
Supreme Casino is not running a charity.
What's the matter?
I'm good for my word!
Brother Wai!
Did Wai show up again?
Yes, last night.
I saw him with a pail in his hand.
He was walking towards Shan's house.
What are you looking at?
He must have been carrying kerosene.
He came to set fire.
Thank you! If we have more questions,
we'll come back and ask you.
You may go!
Send the bodies back to the Bureau
and let Chuen-kung examine them.
Let's go arrest the suspect!
Yes, Sir!
Ng Wai's mother sells vegetables.
He was arrested for fighting, battery, intimidation and indecent assault.
But he got away in the end.
By threatening the victim and bribing the officials.
Plus he works for Hung Sap-kau!
More importantly, Hung Sap-kau is Chu Cheung-sing's buddy.
He's intricately related to the Dragon Gang.
I definitely won't look the other way.
Fight!
Fight him!
Little General!
Come on!
Fight!
Bite him!
Fight, Little General!
Don't crumble now! My money is on you!
Wan-ling, your tonic really works.
The cricket is simply invincible!
You should start a cricket arena at Supreme Casino.
Good idea!
Who banged on the table?
Don't want to live?
The Phecda Bureau?
What are you doing here, Pak-nin?
What's going on?
We're here on an investigation.
We think Ng Wai tried, but failed to collect a debt from Ho Yat-shan,
set fire to his house killing his family of 4.
Where is Ng Wai?
Impossible! Wai couldn't have done it!
Nobody would do such a thing without my order.
Tell Wai to come out and let me confront him.
Come out, Wai!
Meng, where is he?
I don't know! I haven't seen him.
Go find him!
Yes!
Quit your act! Hand him over!
We have nothing to hide!
Unless Wai has gone mad,
or else he would never commit arson.
He was trying to collect a debt for Supreme Casino.
Are you implying I'm behind this?
Someone saw Ng Wai threaten Ho Yat-shan,
and saw him going to his house with a pail of kerosene.
That's solid evidence against him.
He's doing your bidding,
I'm not surprised he set fire as a warning to others.
You're trying to pin it on me!
Ng Wai is your henchman,
you're the chief of the gang.
You won't get away if he has killed someone.
That's absurd!
I'm a model citizen.
I know! You donated money to the Yellow River flood.
So what? Ng Wai killed somebody!
I'm positive he didn't!
You're trying to frame him!
I dare you to confront him.
If you suspect I put him to it,
you'd better come up with the evidence.
I'd go back to the Bureau with you.
Where's your proof?
Where's the proof?
Show it!
Search the premises!
No way!
Do it!
I won't allow it!
You're hiding something!
I've sent someone to find him.
That's more cooperation than you deserve.
What do you think, Cheung-sing?
Everybody calm down!
Pak-nin, I believe Ng Wai is not here.
I also believe once they find him,
Sap-kau will take him back to the Bureau.
Uncle, Pak-nin is just doing his job.
I hope you don't mind.
Sei Fong Inn runs a proper business.
Patrons are welcome to take a seat.
Other people, please go away.
Fine! We'll go!
Cheung-sing, come with me.
Stop staring! Get out!
Get out!
You should leave!
How absurd!
Are there other witnesses?
Any clues on the scene?
The whole case seems questionable.
Just think, he's trying to collect a debt.
I'm not talking about the case.
I know you're tight with the Dragon Gang
and Hung Sap-kau and his father.
I hope you won't be blinded by your emotions,
and become someone's pawn.
No one is using me.
They seem to think you're on their side.
I have a gentlemen's agreement with them.
There are no gentlemen in a gang.
Not all officials are clean either.
The lower class often has a better sense of justice.
I'm just giving you some advice.
Stop hanging out with people like them.
It won't do you any good!
I know good advice jars on the ear.
I can't help it if you won't listen.
I know it's for my own good,
but the case is really questionable.
Unlike you, I work with evidence.
So do I, but...
I still think Hung Fung is behind it,
Ng Wai was only doing his bidding.
Then you're wrong!
Why am I always wrong?
Why is it you're always right?
That's not what I mean.
We'll have answers when we find Ng Wai.
You must know where you stand
and butt out of my case.
You think this is fun? Why are you tagging along?
Sap-kau's business is my business.
I have a hang of following someone.
Don't worry. You recommended me for the Bureau.
I won't let you down!
Stop talking. We've lost him.
No, I'm sure he's gone inside the Bian Que Temple.
You're sure?
Sap-kau told me before
he came here with Wai to buy longevity incense,
and sometimes to donate money.
I'm sure he came here to look for Wai.
You sound like you're my boss.
Shut up and follow me or we'll lose him.
(Bian Que Temple)
Are you telling the truth?
I really didn't set fire.
I'm really scared, Boss!
Wai!
Turn yourself in!
Run! I'll hold them off!
Hey...
Let him go...
We're only trying to help him!
But you'll make things worse!
You'll only get him killed if you take him back to the Bureau.
She Pak-nin will beat a confession out of him.
Wai is my brother, I have to protect him.
Turning himself in is the only way out.
He's now running from the law.
But he didn't do it!
Let go of us. Wai is gone!
Tell us what happened.
The whole thing is a misunderstanding.
Wai told me he meant to pour dog blood on Ho Yat-shan's house.
How could he kill anyone if he didn't even set the fire?
But it rained that night and the ground was wet.
He slipped and spilled the dog blood
on the floor and on himself.
When he came back to Sei Fong Inn,
I scolded him for stinking so bad.
I made him take a bath before I let him come near me.
But that's just your side of the story.
You don't believe me?
It's what the Bureau believes in, not me.
Sap-kau, this is not working.
How long do you expect Wai to be on the run?
For as long as he can.
As long as we find the real killer,
Wai will be fine when we know the truth.
It's more dangerous for Wai out there.
If he resists arrest, the Bureau has the right to kill him.
The killer is likely to kill him too.
Don't scare me!
Hold on...
This belongs to Wai?
Today is his mother's birthday.
He got this good luck charm for her.
I think he must have dropped it.
Mother...birthday...Pak-nin...Wai...
Wai's mother, Chu Cheung-sing,She Pak-nin...
I know where he is.
What are you mumbling about?
The filial son wants to give his mother a good luck charm.
Let's go!
What are you doing?
Are you Ng Wai's mother?
He owes me 100 taels.
Either pay me or hand him over!
Don't be stupid!
If he needs money, he'd borrow from Sap-kau.
What are you saying?
Why did you hit her?
Where is your son?
I don't know!
Speak up!
Help...
Go away! Leave my mother alone!
Wai!
I didn't borrow money from anyone.
How can you hit an old lady?
Phecda Bureau!
You won't get away!
Ng Wai!
You're under arrest!
The Phecda Bureau is full of creeps!
You hit my mother to lure me out?
You're a bunch of creeps!
You committed arson and murder.
Come with us!
I didn't kill anyone!
We're late!
Sing, you must help him!
Don't worry! I won't let things go like that
Did you kill Ho Yat-shan and his family?
No, I only meant to pour dog blood.
Start talking!
Stop!
Cheung-sing...
You want to beat a confession out of him?
I told you not to get involved.
It won't do any good if you kill him.
I know what I'm doing.
He meant to pour dog blood not kerosene.
They are shameless liars.
Wai's mother is old.
You beat her up to force Wai to show up.
No gangster would do such a thing.
Extreme situations call for extreme measures
A bit of torture is necessary.
I'll do anything to catch the killer.
Resorting to such underhanded tactics
won't make you more capable.
You don't deserve to be Commissioner.
The truth comes out!
You're the one who covets the position.
You told me you wanted me to win,
but turned around and fight me for the Speedy Standard.
I may not be as skillful as you,
but I'm definitely not a hypocrite.
That was never my intention.
Then why butt into my investigation?
You only want to prove you're better.
Listen to me...
Listen up, if you want to cover up for him,
you must get past me first.
I'll let him go if you have evidence to prove his innocence.
Commander Chu, please don't interrupt our investigation.
I'll go find the evidence now.
Cheung-sing! Help me...
Cheung-sing, why are they...
How is Wai?
I brought them here,
I'll be fully accountable.
What happened? You seem pissed!
I'm fuming!
Chuen-kung is examining the bodies.
Are you going to see him?
I want to know what he has found out.
Do your job, pretend you didn't see me.
Cheung-sing!
Chuen-kung!
Why did you bring them here?
Something is fishy!
We'll get to that later!
Is that Ho Yat-shan?
Yes.
What have you found?
The deceased's throat is not blackened.
That means he didn't inhale any smoke.
That means he's dead before the fire?
The intestines of his whole family have turned black.
That means they were poisoned before the fire.
Someone set a fire to cover up they were poisoned?
It's definitely not Wai!
He knows nothing about poison.
He's just the scapegoat.
Can you trace the poison?
I have double checked.
This poison can be neutralised by green peas,
honeysuckle flower and licorice root.
Heartbreak grass!
That's right, smarty pants!
Anyone who has eaten heartbreak grass
will have blackened intestines like the deceased.
Do you smell that?
No! It's so stinky I've been holding my nose.
No, I don't mean the smell of the corpse.
It's the smell of heartbreak grass.
I burnt some to do some tests.
Can I take a look?
Heartbreak grass is pungent.
Smell it, Sap-kau.
It stinks!
Smell it! We've come across that smell!
I know who the killer is!
