Episode 020
What happened?
There is something wrong with the delivery man.
He must die.
Mmm...
Withdraw.
Parrot reporting, there was an explosion in room 212.
Dolphin reporting, they are leaving. Do we take action?
Standby, continue monitoring.
Repeat, standby.
Continue monitoring.
OK.
Chief Lei, Hong Liang used fake IDs to rent the room.
We can't find any background information about him.
But we found the information of this dead man.
This is his information.
His name is Hucheng Wang. He was involved in a robbery and just got released from jail.
He just got out recently.
He previously has no connection with the enemy at all.
Looks like, he just is a deliveryman.
Just a victim.
The luggage was exploded by a mini bomb.
Not very powerful, but enough to break the telegram transmitter.
Zhang, take it back to check throughly.
OK.
What is it?
They would come to pick up the telegram transmitter under so much danger.
Even though killing the man was to shut his mouth,
there was no need to break the telegram transmitter.
Unless they already knew about the danger ahead of the time.
What do you mean?
Director Wu, did you ever see this pattern?
Emblem.
How come I feel it's familiar?
Where is the vinegar? Not even one drop left.
How can I cook the pork kidney without it?
You can't cook sour port kidney?
Then do the stir fry way.
That won't work.
My best dish is sour port kidney.
You see, I have prepared the kidney for this.
If don't cook it, it will go bad soon.
I will go refill the vinegar at the corner store. I will be back soon.
Look after the stove for me.
Where are you going?
We ran out of vinegar. I will go and get some.
Where is #3?
Looking after the stove in the kitchen.
Boss Chen, Mr. Liang.
Is the lunch ready?
It's just missing the sour pork kidney.
So I need to go and get some vinegar.
One dish less is no big deal. Let's eat.
Mr. Chen, the door is locked.
Follow the rules, take out your weapons.
I don't have a gun.
Mr. Liang, yours as well.
I just can't figure it out.
Maybe the deliveryman was not sent by The Awakener.
Yes, he was sent by The Awakener.
Then why inside his luggage,
there was a bomb.
Breaking the telegram transmitter was what The Awakener wanted.
What The Awakener wanted?
He sensed that we were exposed today.
So he ordered me to destroy everything.
When did the Awakener give you the order?
There is a pattern on the top of the luggage.
Emblym
The Awakener put it on.
There are only five people who knew about this pattern in our group.
That means we are exposed.
Withdraw immediately.
But today's action,
only we know about it.
How can that be exposed?
This is what I will need to figure out.
What do you mean?
We must have a spy within us.
Doesn't matter who the spy is.
If you confess now, I promise that I won't torture you.
Won't slice your body.
If you don't confess before the morning,
no one will be able to leave here alive.
Laio Yue Jun.
Ha!
What are you laughing about?
From my point of view, you are over thinking things.
Boss Chen, if there is a spy within us,
how could the Rei Xiang Hostel stay intact?
The police officer already broken in and caught all of us.
Well said.
The reason they didn't come in,
is because they haven't got what they wanted.
What is it?
You are very curious.
I'm just asking randomly.
I'm sure.
The police officers have been already monitoring the Rei Xiang Hostel.
Director Wu, please add more of the police force.
Monitor all the intersections around Rei Xiang Hostel.
It's urgent. As soon as the unexpected happens inside,
I will order us to break in. We need to ensure the safety of Rong Jinzhen and Zhai Li.
I will go and arrange it.
Pan Sen, Cao Rei. - Yes
The two of you lead some helpers to control the exits of the Rei Xiang Hostel and prepare to cover them.
Yes.
Oh, Director Lei. Seems your assumption is right.
The enemy did know about our action today.
Also, they sent the signal to Flying Dragon to withdraw.
If that's the case, that will only prove one thing,
we indeed have a spy within us.

Zhao Qirong, the letters you wrote back home,
we checked. For the past two months,
your letters home,
you will need to explain some of the content.
(Addresses)
I did write these letter..
Why did you describe your living details in 701?
Don't you know the rules and regulations?
I wrote this way to make my mom happy.
You are the acting team lead, but you wrote in the letters that you are the acting manager.
This is also to make your mom happy?
Yes, let me ask you. How much do you make monthly?
$25
We calculated for you, together with the bonus,
you won't make more than $35 monthly.
Yes.
We checked. You sent back almost all of your money
back to home. Right?
Because my family is poor,
my mom is still being challenged.
I'm her only son.
Since I can't take care of her closeby,
I thought I should send her more money.
I also checked in the past two months,
you sent $160 back home.
Even including all of your salary and bonuses,
that doesn't match what you sent back.
Zhao Qirong, the $90 exceeded what you made.
Where did this come from? Please explain.
I borrowed it.
From whom?
Rong Jinzhen. He let me pickup his salary every month.
You all know that he has no sense to money.
I just thought to borrow for now.
Later on, I will return it for sure.
What are you referring to? Are you suspecting me as the spy?
Before things become clear,
no one can be exempt.
I have been in the group for years.
Should someone like you, surrendered from the Wang Wei group,
test my loyalty?
Calm down.
The barking dogs normally don't bite.
Who are referring as a dog? repeat?
Sit down.
Miniature, shoot here if you are a man, shoot.
Mr. Liang, don't be envoked.
I heard your name a long time ago.
I never suspected you.
Today, things like this happened.
I just called you in to ask.
The two guys under you.
Are they dependable or not?
My stepfather is a butcher.
He is an alcoholic and easily gets drunk.
When he gets drunk, he hits and curses my mom.
At that time, I was little. My mom kept quiet to protect me.
She took on so much in the years with him.
After I got in 701, I mailed back letters and the photos that I was in a military uniform.
It worked.
From that moment, he never hit my mom again.
When we recruited him, we did a background check.
His stepfather is a butcher and an alcoholic. He is telling the truth.
How long did you know the #2 and #3?
This is the first task they are under me.
But they played the key roles in the power plant explosion. They aren't strangers.
Experienced ones who become spies will be even more dangerous.
If you think the four of them are all suspicious, why did you leave the guns downstairs?
When the guns are around, the angry dog will jump out.
If he doesn't jump out,
how can I know who the spy is?
Miniature, who do you think the spy within us is?
I don't know.
Hey.
Why are looking at me?
I see you look like the spy.
I'm not.
Then are you referring that I'm the spy?
I didn't say that.
I see the way you look at me referring that.
Who are you bullying? Taking on the weak ones?
Smelly woman. I didn't ask you, but him.
He is my man. Take me on.
Release you hands.
Don't think I won't hit you because you are a woman.
Try to hit me. If you don't, you are my grandson today.
See that, biting now.
Zhao Qirong, I'll give you another chance. Do you have any thing else hiden from the group?
Not really.
Let Ning Zuo in.
Yes.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
Ning Zuo, do you know him?
Now you can tell us?
What's your real name?
Zhuang Feng.
How long have you been using #2 as your code name?
One year.
Why did you join us?
My #1 led us in.
Who is your #1?
My previous team lead, code name is #1.
Members in your group all use numbers as their code names?
Yes.
How many people are in your group?
Four.
How come only two of you joined this time?
The other two are dead.
How did they die?
When we pretended to be power plant staff to install the bombs,
when it exploded, #1 and #4 were unexpectedly killed in the explosion.
Take it easy.
Tell me who do you think could be the spy.
I don't know, doesn't matter. I'm not.
You seem quiet.
Saying too much could cause issues.
What was the real name of #3?
Peng Qian.
I was wrong.
I made a small amount of money by selling some bakeries and snacks.
Zuo is the procurement staff from the South Campus.
Every time, before he went out to buy, I gave him a list.
He was responsible to buy the things on the list.
We split the earnings half, half.
Continue.
I just need money. After all, I didn't make much and sent it all back home.
Just sold snacks?
Sometimes, we also sold the girls hair wraps and holders.
Besides these, did you sell anything else?
No, definitely not.
Write.
What should I write?
Write what you have sold.
Sold to whom, how much you made, all of the transactions.
It was all done by myself. Everyone was impacted by me.
If I report everyone, it may not be good.
Zhao Qirong, you still don't know the seriousness of the situation.
There is a spy in 701 and you are suspicious.
We hope what your writing will match the information we collected.
Otherwise, your problem won't just be simply disobeying the regulations.
Qian Peng, yes.
Rich as Qian, Eagle as Peng,
You said you know who the spy is.
Yes, I know.
Who?
That couple, must be something wrong.
How can you prove this?
Think this way, the man is silly like a hog and the woman is smart like a monkey.
They are not a match as all. Especially that woman. If this hadn't happened today, I would still doubt the woman.
Why do you suspect her?
Did you specifically mention anything before you left?
Was it that there were important things in your room and told her to look after the security.
You probably didn't pay attention.
When you mentioned that, the woman became excited.
Mr. Liang also suspected this, so he let me stay here to monitor.
As expected, as soon as you left, she went upstairs behind me.
She said she was going to collect clothes under the sun. I went to her room.
No one was in the room.
So I suspect she went to your room
Did you see that personally?
I regret that I didn't catch her on the spot.
Afterwards, three or four times, she wanted to get out of the hostel.
I didn't listen to her.
If I didn't keep a close eye on her, the fire in the backyard
would have become wide.
Hey.
That silly couple,
it's your turn now.
Hope you can pass.
All, pay attention.
I order to surround the Rei Xiang Hostel immediately.
Everyone, get into your place.
Wait,
no need to come up.
I know who is the spy now.
Every group report if you are at your places.
Report, Sea Eagle is at the place.
Report, Dolphin is at the place.
#3
You seem to like your sunflower seeds very much.
How come you are never tired of them?
Nothing else to do. Got use to it.
It does have a special flavour.
I don't smoke or drink.
Also, don't call on prostitutes or gamble.
I also don't smoke marijuana, this is my only hobby.
Eating sunflower seeds.
Your hobby, easier than smoking marijuana,
is causing you to get killed
Boss Chen, what are referring to?
Tell me what this is?
What is this?
You don't know?
The box for the decoding book.
What code?
Don't pretend.
Calm down, Boss Chen.
Is there some misunderstanding?
Misunderstanding?
He is the only one that has this hobby of eating sunflower seeds in this room.
Coincidentally,
I found this in my secret cabinet.
If it was not him, who else could it have been?
It must be the Purple Code book
No wonder,
Boss Chen, as soon as you left the hostel this morning,
he went into your room and acted strangely.
Smelly woman, it was you acting strangely and went upstairs. So I followed you.
I went to the balcony to collect clothes.
You came to look for me, then why did you go into Boss Chen's room?
You are framing me. It was you.
#3, to prove you are clean is simple.
Dare to let me search you?
Why search me?
Boss Chen, it's OK to search me.
I suspect her. Search her first.

You can't let my wife take off her clothes.
If you want to search, search me first.
We will know who the spy is soon.
