Do you know who the baby's father was?
I don't know
We were having a coffee the other day
There was news of Gary's love scandal on TV
Suddenly, she became distracted
The way he charged at me...
says he wanted me dead
Could it have been Zhuang Qiangsheng?
Had I known you'd be so sweet to me,
I wouldn't have minded being stabbed a few more times
It hurts that Huixin's gone
It hurts that Xuezhi's gone
You've fallen for Xuezhi?
Mum doesn't know about this
Will you stay... for her sake?
I don't want to lie to others or myself anymore
My selfishness has hurt everyone
I've no reason to stay here
I'm sorry
I like you
Did you hear me?
I like you!
Actually...
I was already fond of you...
the first time we met
But then you told me you were Huixin
I thought my feelings for you were those between siblings
While you were gone,
I was so fearful for your safety
I was thinking about you all the time
It was then that I became sure of my feelings for you
I can't live without you
Don't you blame me?
I don't care about your past,
only the present
I don't have a future
There'll be no future for us
I don't care
When you have problems,
I want to be there for you
I'm sorry
This is too sudden
Besides, my identity...
I haven't told my mum. She doesn't know yet
You saw it yourself
While you were gone,
she fell ill from pining for you
Our family needs you
My mum can't live without you
I can't live without you
Come home with me
All right?
Madam, if you haven't got any evidence,
don't waste my time anymore
I'm a busy man
Mr Ye Yuhao, I know you like to keep people waiting
So, I'm sorry to keep you waiting
The bow in the photo is familiar to you, right?
No, I've never seen it
Look closely
It killed Wang Ruoxi
The bow is yours, am I right?
I don't know what you're talking about
I've never seen it
But your fingerprints were all over it
That's impossible. I've never seen it before
Where were you between 4 pm and 6 pm on 17 August?
I was home alone surfing the Net
Your manager says you're very busy. Weren't you working?
I was resting at home 'cause I was unwell
You were home alone? You haven't got an alibi then?
Officer, she wasn't my enemy
Why would I want to kill her?
Perhaps someone wanted to set me up
Was Wang Ruoxi your girlfriend?
We know that...
you'd known her since your pre-university days
You were a couple in your hometown
Then, you both left your hometown
All that is correct, no?
It's true that I had dated Ruoxi,
but that happened a long time ago
I didn't contact her for ages
So why did you deny knowing her?
I was worried it'd affect my career
All artistes are scared of the gossip mill
When was the last time you saw her?
I hadn't seen her for ages
I'm saddened by her death, too
You must believe me - I've got nothing to do with this
You've got it wrong!
Madam
Gary's lawyer is here
Why did you take on this case?
We don't turn down winnable cases
Am I right, Wenjie?
Can we post bail for him?
No, he's a murder suspect
This must be a mistake
Gary isn't a murderer
Chris, calm down
Let Wenjie handle this
Can I speak to him?
When can I leave this place?
It's a little tricky
"A little tricky"? Aren't you here to post bail for me?
Your fingerprints were found on the murder weapon
You'd also tried to cover up your relationship with Wang Ruoxi
You're the prime suspect now
Tell me everything you know...
so I can help you
I've told you everything. What else do you want to know?
When did you and Wang Ruoxi break up?
And... did you know she was pregnant?
I've said this many times
I hadn't seen her in ages and I don't know a thing
Gary, I'm here to help you
I'm not your enemy
Hiding things from me won't help your case
Get it?
If you can't help me, then don't waste my time
I want to see Chris
Gary likes archery
He was already an ace archer when he was in school
After he became an artiste, he didn't have time for it
According to newspaper reports,
Gary seems to have a colourful love life
His private life seems a mess. Is that true?
I'd talked to him, but he wouldn't listen
Not afraid he may ruin his career?
He's very smart. He knows his boundaries
Besides, privacy matters a lot to him
As long as his work isn't affected,
I leave him alone
Did you contact him on the day of the crime?
After the event ended,
he said he was unwell,
so I drove him home
I called him later that evening
He told me he was fine,
so I briefed him on his work the following day. That was it
Do you have his schedules for the last few months?
Yes. I'll get them from the car
Thank you
Wang Ruoxi's parents died early
I had contacted her relatives overseas
They said they had seldom kept in touch with her,
so weren't sure how she was doing
Wang Ruoxi's colleagues told me...
she was a well mannered girl
She'd head home after work,
and never went clubbing
They'd never seen her get into quarrels with anyone
We can rule out it being a revenge killing
What happened between Gary and her?
How did she get herself killed?
Very simple
Either one of them had been unfaithful,
or the other had wanted a break-up
It's almost always a relationship problem between a man and a woman
Gary is a young idol
His relationship with Ruoxi could've potentially ruined his career
This might be his reason for killing Ruoxi
I agree
Unless we can prove Gary was at the crime scene,
we can't prosecute him
Madam, I've looked up Gary's call and text logs,
and found him exchanging...
intimate texts with a rich woman called Sophia the last two months
Gary endorses my company's products
Is there a problem?
There isn't
What's your relationship with him?
What do you mean?
Ours is a business relationship and that's that
You don't have a special relationship with him?
Excuse me? I could sue you for libel
Ms Sophia...
Our investigation shows...
you've deposited money into Gary's bank account in the last six months
The sums...
don't tally with his endorsement deals either
We have reason to believe that...
you and Gary aren't just business partners
If word of this got out,
your company's reputation could go down the drain
It could also affect your marriage
What do you want, then?
I think you're mistaken
We're investigating a murder case
We don't wish to pry into your private life
We just want to know the nature of your relationship with Gary
That's all
Hey
Why did you call me?
Since we're friends, I'd like to share my findings with you
OK
Gary's social media activity and schedules in the last two months...
show him to be on close terms with a rich woman called Sophia
I'm sure you've called her in for interrogation
But she flatly denied everything
If she'd admitted to the liaison,
her career and marriage would've been ruined
What did you find out?
This hotel is where they meet for their trysts
How did you get this?
Given the advanced technology,
I can get my hands on any info that's exchanged online
Did you break the law again?
I took the quickest route to find the truth
It's been a while since we took a stroll together
How's your health?
Dad, is something troubling you?
No
When you reach old age,
you get weaker by the day, and your energy feels sapped
By the way,
have you been hanging out with that female cop?
Don't worry about me, Dad
I don't want to make things difficult for you,
but she's not the right girl for you
When two people get together, they must love each other,
and their backgrounds also matter
Your backgrounds are poles apart
If you insist on being together,
you're only going to have lots of differences
Dad...
How have you been, Chief Hong?
Who are you?
Why don't you ask your dad?
Well?
Don't tell me you've forgotten us?
We went through thick and thin together
Chief Hong, have you lost your memory?
What do you want?
Chief Hong still remembers us
I figure you're here because of Ke
You still have a heart
Ke was our man
When he travelled here from Macau, your man killed him
You owe us an explanation
Yes, Chen worked for me,
but I didn't tell him to kill Ke
I had nothing to do with it
You had nothing to do with it?
Everyone knows the killer was your lackey
If you hadn't instructed him,
would he have done it?
Chen is also dead now
A life for a life. What else do you want?
I'm not going to let it slide just because he's dead
Listen...
We've come here...
to get an answer and avenge Ke
No one can stop us
Have you no respect for me?
We won't let Ke die for nothing!
We're going to avenge him!
Chief Hong...
Take good care of yourself
I hope we meet again
What do you mean?
We'll be on our way
Who are they, Dad?
Leave those people alone
Why don't I get some men to protect you round the clock?
No need. Stay out of this
And don't tell Junrong
I know it's a bad time to sell off properties,
but I haven't got a choice
Give me the money as soon as you get it
No one else must know about this
Dad, why are you in a hurry to sell the house?
You want to give the money to Smiling Tiger?
They're telling everyone they won't let you off
What's your dispute with them?
Stay out of this
Ke threatened you,
and they're Ke's buddies
I know you used to be in the same gang
Do they have something on you?
If you hadn't messed things up,
this matter would have ended
My fault again?
I was trying to help you get the money back
Just stay out of my affairs
I'm a part of this family
I can't sit back and let them threaten you
I won't let them climb all over us!
You listen to me -
stay out of my affairs!
Why are you so scared of them?
I'm not
I just don't want to blow up the matter!
I'm not scared of them like you
I won't let them off
I'm not a coward like you!
Say that again!
Why don't you ever listen to me?
Tiger, that Hong Lida didn't seem too bothered
Be patient. That sly old fox will act soon
Let's see what tricks he has up his sleeve
Are you Smiling Tiger?
Did that sly old fox send you?
Kiddo, are those water pipes...
for repair work?
What are you laughing about? Cut the crap!
Kiddo...
You're being rude
Didn't your father teach you any manners?
That sly old fox is feeling sheepish
Listen up, kiddo
Tell that sly old fox...
to come and get me
I don't have time for lousy tricks
Don't get smug with me!
You listen to me -
this is our turf
If you want to live, leave my dad alone!
Oh, it's the little cub
No wonder the more I look at you,
the more you disgust me!
He looks disgusting and smells disgusting
Does he?
He definitely stinks!
You stink!
That sly old fox doesn't even dare lay a finger on me
Who do you think you are?
You'd better step aside
Really? I'll show you!
Get him! -Stop!
Bro
Here comes another cub
Say that again! -Junrong
Dad asked me to come
Let's talk when we get home
You hear that?
The sly old fox tells you to mind your own business
Go back to your den to suckle milk
Say that again! -Enough!
Well? Not hitting me now?
We'll get going, then
Let's go
Go
I said, go
Why were you so reckless?
You should've talked to me first
Why did you stop me?
What you did could've made matters worse
I should do nothing and let them lord it over us?
I know you want to help,
but you're doing it the wrong way
You're too hot-headed
Yes, I'm hot-headed
I don't need you to lecture me on what I do!
Will you calm down and listen to me?
Leave me alone!
When will you grow up?
You're an adult
Stop getting into trouble and making Dad worry
Don't use Dad as a weapon!
If you're still upset,
I can be your punching bag
Look, Dad wants me to watch over you
Dad has retired from the underworld
If his life is in danger, we can go to the police
There's no need to use violence
If we don't show them who's boss,
they'll climb all over us
Violence isn't the answer
Let it go this time
They won't get away with this
Did you think letting your brother punch you...
would solve the problem?
You'd go to any length to help him
I wanted to keep Junrong out of harm's way,
like my dad had asked me
Should I call you a doting brother or a moron?
Since I was young,
my dad has made me stay away from the organization
I know he has my best interests at heart,
but I fear for his and Junrong's lives
Even though my dad has retired,
Junrong still refuses to grow up
He resorts to violence ever so often
He'll land himself in trouble one day
I didn't know they meant so much to you
I'm indebted to the Hongs
Whatever concerns them, concerns me
I can't sit back and do nothing
I get it
But know your limits
You're worried about me?
I don't want you to break the law
Yes, Madam
I know what I'm doing
OK
Hello?
All right
I'll be there in 20 minutes
Sorry, I've got to go
It's confirmed -What's up?
Madam -Look here
According to the lead Wenjie provided,
on the day Wang Ruoxi died,
Gary and Sophia were having a tryst at a hotel
We've checked the hotel's reservation records
Sophia had probably got someone to reserve a room
The hotel staff also confirmed...
Gary and Sophia were at the hotel at the time of the murder
Madam, since Gary has an alibi,
should we rule him out as a suspect?
If Gary's not the killer,
the real killer probably knows about Gary and Ruoxi's relationship
That explains why he stole Gary's bow and arrows,
killed Ruoxi, and made Gary the scapegoat
Are we going to release Gary?
Check out the people with whom Gary and Ruoxi had contact
I believe the killer is among them
Yes, Madam
You may leave now
Sir, I need your help with something
Yes?
It's about my relationship with Sophia
I hope you will keep it secret
If the media went to town with it,
my career would be over
You don't seem bothered that...
your girlfriend's killer is still at large,
but you're worried about your secret affair being made public
Don't worry, Mr Ye. We respect your privacy
Thank you, Madam
Who else knew about your relationship with Wang Ruoxi?
I didn't tell anyone,
not even my manager
What about Wang Ruoxi?
I don't think she told anyone
She didn't want it to affect my showbiz career
Careful, don't tear it
It's a lot of money. Where's the money from?
Legal fees from representing Gary
I'll give you a treat later
No, thanks. It's dirty money
What dirty money?
I made this money with a clear conscience
Gary didn't kill anyone
I did a good thing by clearing his name
A faithless man like him isn't worth your help
He should be locked up to reflect on his sins
As a lawyer, I must stay impartial
You did it for the money. That guy is a creep!
What's going on?
Good, you're here
I'll treat you both to a nice meal
I'm buying
You're buying? Great!
I'll sever ties with you if you go
Not going? Fine
I'll go on my own. Bye
What's wrong?
Are you mad at your dad because of Gary?
Your dad's a lawyer
Representing Gary is his job
Besides, Gary isn't the killer
Don't ever mention that name again
It grosses me out
I guess you and Ruoxi were close friends?
Ruoxi was a lovely girl
Whenever I had a problem at school,
she'd help me
I really regret it
If I'd known Gary was a cad,
I wouldn't have encouraged Ruoxi to woo Gary
You brought them together?
No wonder you're so angry
Gary was very popular in school
Lots of girls had crushes on him
Ruoxi was one of them
But she was too shy to make the first move
I signed her up for archery,
so they could get to know each other
Ruoxi knew archery, too?
Take a rest, Mum
I'll get you a glass of water
That's OK
Sit here with me
Sit down, Wenjie
I hadn't seen you for days. That got me very worried
I was afraid you were in trouble
I'm sorry for leaving without a word
I won't do it again
Mum, why did you bring that up?
It was your fault
Your brother had gone too far
But he did it for your own good
He was afraid you'd be duped
He's your brother. Don't be angry with him
Apologize to your sister
No need. I'm not angry
It was my fault anyway
Now that we've cleared the air,
don't argue with your brother over this again
And you...
Whatever happens, don't take matters into your own hands
Discuss it with me first, all right?
Huixin, I'm not a stick-in-the-mud
If you really like him,
invite him home for a meal
I'd love to meet him
That's OK
Wenjie was right - that man isn't right for me
I won't see him again
You really think that?
Since your mind's made up, I won't say anymore
I just want you to be happy
Sorry about asking you to help
No worries. You've helped me, too
Mum wouldn't have recovered so quickly if you hadn't come home
I wanted to do that. Your mum's been very nice to me
I don't want to hurt her
What's wrong?
Please don't feel awkward about what happened...
at the hospital the other day
What do you mean?
I'm your brother when we're at home
But when we're outside,
I hope you won't see me as one
Hi, guys
Bro -Hey
What are you doing here?
I should be asking you that
What are you doing here?
To buy flowers
For Yongyan?
I'm going to pay respects to Ruoxi
I'll help you
-Is chrysanthemum OK? -Yes. Thanks
I saw everything
What did you see?
You guys were standing very close to each other
What happened?
Nothing happened
Don't deny it
You were both acting weird
Don't talk rubbish if you don't know anything
I can shut my mouth,
but only if you give me a lift to the columbarium
Be quiet or I won't ever help you again
It's done -Thank you
What were you talking about?
We... -Nothing, really
She's in a rush. I'll give her a lift
Bye
The secret is shocking
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I never had the chance
Don't shoot your mouth off, OK?
I don't want her to feel awkward around me
Got it
What made you want to pay respects to Ruoxi?
I dreamt of her last night
What kind of dream?
She was like her usual self in the dream
We were laughing and reminiscing...
about our secondary school days
Then, she vanished into thin air...
before we finished talking
Ruoxi was such a kind person,
yet fate was really unkind to her
Who would want to kill her?
Why are there flowers?
Ruoxi's parents have passed away
It's unlikely she will have visitors
Didn't she have other friends?
I think I'm the only person who knows where her niche is
These flowers are still fresh
The person who put them here must've just left
Hi, mister
Can I help you?
Did you see the person who left those flowers there?
An elderly man was here earlier,
but I didn't really see his face
Thanks -OK
Pause here, Jason
Ke'er, do you recognize this person?
His back looks familiar
I might have seen him somewhere
Did he know Ruoxi?
I think so
Maybe not
Any thoughts, Wenjie?
This man is suspicious
He may be connected to Ruoxi's death
How do you mean?
We know for sure that Gary was set up
The killer must've had a dispute with Gary...
for him to set Gary up
I also believe he knew Ruoxi personally
I'm with you on this
But we have very few leads
Anything, Ke'er?
I've seen this man somewhere
Did you see him...
at Ruoxi's place?
I remember now!
I saw this man at Ruoxi's place
I think he was her landlord
Anyone in?
Please open the door
Hello
You are...
I'm Senior Inspector Zhao Anni of the Major Crime Division
He's my colleague
We have a few questions for you
Can we go in?
How can I help you?
Did you know Wang Ruoxi?
She was my tenant
She moved here two years ago,
and rented the unit next door
Did you ever meet her boyfriend?
I'm not sure
I never pry into other people's private lives
She rented the place from you for over two years
During this period,
did you ever see her friends look her up?
No
Are you sure?
She was always home alone...
when I collected the rent from her
I never saw people visiting her
Jacky. Your friends call you that, right?
How would you describe your relationship with Ruoxi?
I'd say normal
We'd exchange niceties when we ran into each other
But she was a quiet girl
So, I didn't take the initiative to talk to her
The news said she had been murdered
I was surprised to hear that
She didn't look like the sort who would quarrel with people
Thank you
Don't you think the landlord seems suspicious?
What do you think?
I think he's connected to the murder
Ke'er told me...
she'd seen Jacky bring Ruoxi...
health supplements and local produce
But Jacky said he'd never met Wang Ruoxi's friends
Could it be he's old and, therefore, forgetful?
I don't think so
He said they'd had a normal relationship
If that were true,
he wouldn't have shown her so much concern
I think he's hiding something from us
I'll run a thorough check on his background
Xuezhi, I bought you some food
You OK?
Yes, but I feel a little tired
Go and rest. I'll mind the shop
Come
What's wrong?
Can you tell us what's wrong?
The tumour in her brain has got bigger
The prognosis doesn't look good
Didn't you say the medications would stabilize her condition?
You'll have to ask her
I don't think she's been taking them regularly
That's why her condition has worsened
Why haven't you been taking them?
I feel unwell and easily tired when I take them
I don't want to take them anymore
Those are side effects, and pretty common
Skipping the medications...
could potentially worsen your condition
Doctor, can you tell me honestly...
how serious my condition is?
I've said it - the prognosis isn't good
But if you take your meds, it will improve
What's wrong? Are you worried about me?
Don't worry. Doctors often exaggerate
Don't I look fine to you now?
Why don't I take you overseas for treatment?
There's a neurosurgeon in the UK...
who's a leading authority on brain tumours
He may be able to treat you
Don't waste money
You've already done a lot for me
I won't give up so long as there's a glimmer of hope
You don't have to do this
It's not worth it
I don't care
You are worth it
Take my advice and seek treatment overseas
Let's talk about this another time
Come in
Madam, I've got something to tell you
Guo Xing's wife, Zheng Ailing, has died
When?
We'd got in touch with her family in Taiwan,
and were told she couldn't get over her miscarriage...
after returning to Taiwan
She jumped off a building a year ago and died
Does Guo Xing know about this?
Yes, he attended the funeral
He knew his wife was dead,
yet told us they hadn't been in touch
He's very suspicious
Might he have an axe to grind...
'cause he blames you for his wife's death?
Open the door!
Guo Xing!
Got it. Thanks
Forget it. He's not at home
Ziliang just called to say he wasn't at the bookshop either
He closed the shop last week
Madam
She's the landlord
Hello
I'm Senior Inspector Zhao Anni from Major Crime Division
Do you know where Guo Xing is?
When I came to collect the rent last week,
he was already gone
I couldn't get hold of him at all
He didn't answer his phone either
May we have a look inside?
Sure
Madam
Did Guo Xing break the law?
We can't give you details of our investigation
Take a look around
Yes, Madam
Madam
You need to see this
"Murderer! Go to hell!"
"Go to hell!"
"Murderer!"
You OK, Madam?
We need to find Guo Xing
Hello? I'm already here
Sorry, I can't meet you
Did something happen?
We've found the person who attacked me
I'm going after him now
Be careful
I will. Bye
"If you want to save your parents, come here alone!"
I'm starving. Let's have...
You OK?
I think Anni's in trouble
What kind of trouble?
I don't know
I have a bad feeling
Major Crime Division, Liu Ziliang speaking
I'm Wenjie. Is Anni there?
No. What's it about?
She may be in trouble, but I can't get hold of her
Do you know where she is?
Her car has a GPS tracker
I'll look it up
I'll call you later
We'll head there, too
Sure. Thanks
Mum
You're finally here
Stay back!
What do you want, Guo Xing?
Have you forgotten?
My wife and child died because of you
I'm going to avenge them!
Guo Xing
It was an accident
I had nothing to do with your wife's death
I was going after the robbers...
when their car swerved and struck your wife
Don't say anymore! Shut up!
It's me that you want
Leave my parents out of this
Let my dad go
Let them go? Sure
Promise me one thing first
What is it?
I want you to kill yourself
Your life for their lives
You don't want to die?
Guo Xing!
Calm down and listen to me
I know you're good by nature
You don't want to hurt more people
Look at me. Look at me!
Listen...
If your wife were still alive,
she wouldn't want to see you like this
Shut up!
You don't know that!
Guo Xing, don't do anything stupid!
You won't shoot yourself?
Fine
Guo Xing!
I'll count to three
I'll kill him if you don't shoot yourself
One
Two
Three! -Stop!
What are you waiting for?
Pull the trigger
Do it!
No, Anni!
Who's he?
I told you to come alone
What are you doing here?
I came here on my own. She didn't know
Calm down
Stay back!
Zhao Anni
I want you to kill him
Guo Xing
So what if I kill him?
You won't be able to get away
You don't want to kill him? Fine
I'll kill your dad!
No!
What are you doing, Anni?
Wenjie
I'm sorry. My dad means a lot to me
I haven't got a choice
