Episode 024
Excuse me, did you see this man?
Not really.
Look thoroughly.
Sir,
what's going on?
Please, let me know if you saw this man before?
If you see him, you must contact the Police Department.
Not really.
What happened? Fall into the river?
Yes.
Where?
The Qian Zhang cliff.
Just happened?
Not really, three days ago.
Three days ago. I don't think he would have survived.
If you see him, please for sure contact the Police Department.
Ok, no worries.
Thank you.
A Mu,
how long has it boiled?
Four hours.
Fill a bowl first.
OK, sure.
Wrap him up.
A Mu, A Mu.
Take it in.
Oh, coming.
Master.
Drink.
This is herb.
So, afraid I will poison you? Drink.
So bitter.
Why did you drink such a full mouthful? Really not afraid I would poison you?
Just wanted to let you try to see if it was hot.
Don't turn around.
A Mu, what did see just now?
I'm not blind. The master and that man...
According to our tradition,
if a woman kisses a man, she will have to marry him.
Shut up, if you open your big mouth again,
be careful I will break you mouth.
Rong Datou, who is your mom?
I heard you are still wetting you pants at this age?
Say something.
Who is your mom?
What are you doing?
Why are they bullying you?
Because I didn't let them copy my math exam.
You did these calculations?
You are Rong Jinzhen, right?
You know me?
I just got here recently.
I'm a professor in the math department.
I'm John Li.
Professor John, how are you?
I heard Principal Rong mention you.
I'm in charge of selecting candidates to join the provincial math competition.
Do you want to join?
I heard only the senior students are qualified.
Rong Jinzhen, you didn't get what I meant.
I'm asking if you want to join, not about qualifications.
Then you will need to ask the principal.
Math Competition.
Everyone, this time the Provincial University Math Competition,
Our Ning Zhou University's Mathematics Department team,
under Professor Li's guidance,
has won the final championship.
Won glory for our university.
Let's show our appreciations to our top math students with our applause.
Top students.
Smile a little, you should be proud.
This competition's question, were basically done by you alone.
Rong Jinzhen, I saw this in you.
You alone beat the others, the entire university's Mathematics Department in the province.
Smile a bit.
The funding I applied for has been approved. I will form my own research lab.
We will continue to research the mathematical subjects I have been working on these past years.
Do you mean the two dimensions of the numbers theories?
Yes, you have worked with me on this before.
If our assumption is true, then it will have a lot of value for the real applications.
Then I should congratulate you first
You should go with me
Talking about this thesis, it's only one area for me.
There is still a lot of research that needs to be done, which needs aspiration.
You better go ask the principal.
Little Rong, this is what you said before.
I prepared this for you based on the director's rank.
When you get to the other side, be free to use them.
Don't just only thinking about calculations.
Balance life, don't be too exhausted.
Do you want to drink chicken soup?
Director will make it fresh for you.
We here are good. Madman is good.
I'm good. Da Bao is also good.
We just miss you.
I also miss you.
When you left, there was no one left to play chess with me.
Manager Wang also bullies me.
Who is bullying you?
You. He doesn't let me to carve grace stones.
Can that be free? It's not allowed by the regulations.
I don't care. You doesn't let me carve.
Rong calculated the Purple Code.
He is a hero and he has achievements. Why don't you let me carve?
Even then, you can not carve it carelessly.
Xiao Rong hasn't finished solving the code
Even if he has time, he can't look at it.
I don't care! I want to carve it!
He is bullying me.
Xiao Rong a, pity.
This place which is filled by grave stones.
Every single one of these were carved by you.
Behind the grave stone are engraved all of their achievements, the reason they become hero.
But what about yourself?
Only 1934 year
to 1956 year.
Purple Code.
Purple Code
Zi Mi?
What is that?
Are you stupid? Zi Mi sounds like a lady's name.
What is there to look at? Get out.
Director Wang,
I come to say sorry to you.
That day I was too rushed.
We are section 701, who dearly care about Comrade Jinzhen.
You care about him.
If you really care about him, you shouldn't have pushed him towards the guns.
Such a good kid.
If he was still delivering papers with me, he would still be alive and well.
Maybe he'll already have decoded Purple Code.
What do you want to do?
I want you to take this gravestone down.
How dare you! Be careful, I will do something to you.
Yiping.
Believe in me. Rong Jinzhen is not dead
I found strong evidence
that proves the likelihood of Rong Jinzhen being alive is high.
That makes sense.
Didn't I just say that?
If he was dead, then he would have appeared as a ghost in front of me.
Hey madman, have you seen his ghost?
Rong Jinzhen is still alive
That's right alive!
Chief Zheng, I want to say that
I will take Da Bao and madman
to look for Rong Jinzhen.
No matter how far, we will bring him back.
Chief Zheng.
Chief Li said there is something urgent that needs your attention.
I'll leave first.
Chicken soup, paper money, bring them all back home.
What chicken soup, paper money? Take the gravestone down.
Come in.
Manager Li.
- Zheng Dang - How's the investigation going?
Still investigating.
The members' personal information of those who were involved during this operation is here.
701 staff and the Ning Zhou Police Department staff.
All combined, the total is 24 comrades.
Any discovery?
Not yet.
While in operation,
everyone had their tasks and were at their assigned places.
Plus they all have more than one alibi to be each other's witness.
There is no possibility of anyone being in contact with Flying Dragon alone.
Ning Zhou Police Department and 701.
In total, there are 24 comrades in operation, right?
Correct.
The front line people are all here.
How about logistics members?
Logistics?
No logistics members in operation.
So it is even more impossible to know the highly classified top secrets like the Purple Code.
But there was a possibility for them to be in contact.
Overheard or stolen, right?
We will expend the scope to include all of the possible suspects.
To include all of the task forces involved to this task-related information.
- You've worked hard.- I should.
Ah, right..
I just received information. That one Han Bing mentioned, boss of the grocery store,
has come back from his old house. I'm preparing people to go and investigate.
I will go myself since this is related to the member of Q group.
Ok.
It's been 4 days and 4 nights.
He still hasn't waken up. He's eaten 3 red ginsengs.
The master has used so much good medicine on him. All wasted.
So true, he has no money on him.
He's lying there. Ruining medicine.
After he wakes up, he will also ruin the food.
No matter what, he is in our debt.
In my opinion, it would be better to throw him to the river to feed the fish.
If he really died on board,
it'll be very ominous, isn't it?
Fuck you.
So what? A rich man has to hang the golden bars on their neck everyday?
So as a fisherman, I should keep the fish in my pocket everyday as well?
Let me tell you, that kid. He's definitely rich.
So master, then how did you find out?
- What is this?- Isn't it a lighter?
He Ping Restaurant.
Let's take a look at this too.
If it's not written in English, then it's French.
This explains, that this is imported drugs.
Would someone who is able to buy imported drugs and went to He Ping Restaurant a poor guy?
I, Shen Yuer, will never do business at a loss.
Master.
Once you say it, it makes a lot of sense.
By the way!
You cannot not rescue him even if he don't have money.
It's also a life.
Right, right! Must rescue!
Ok, let's eat.
Eat!

Nan Chang Street Convenience Store.
Comrades, what are you looking for?
Hi. Are you the boss?
I am. You guys are...?
I'm a public officer. We're going to ask you a few questions.
What is it?
Have you ever seen the two of them?
I haven't.
Please look at if carefully.
The two of them are murderers.
They were seen, on the 18th,
in front of your store, driving a car.
Wake up! Wake up!
What are you guys doing?
Correct. This guy, I've seen him.
Can you explain the situation?
That time, they were driving a car
and they suddenly stopped in front of my store.
After that, three guys came out from the car and carried the guy who fainted to their car.
I also asked them what they were they going to do.
One of them did this gesture to me.
Is it this guy?
Correct. It's him.
T-These two are murderers?
Then has this guy been--
Do you know him?
No. He was just a passerby.
That day...
Are you okay, lad?
Boss, can I have some water?
Wait for me.
Thank you.
Lad! Are you okay, lad?
Wake up, Lad! Are you okay?
Are you okay? Wake up! Lad!
Wake up!
Then they drove their car.
At that time, I thought that those guys were not good guys.
So, I immediately closed my shop and hid.
They can kidnap people right under the sun.
If I had known, I would have called the police.
It's my fault. I harmed that lad's life.
Exactly the opposite.
You saved him.
Thank you.
Looks like Han Bing told truth. We can remove the suspicion from him.
Understood.
Security Department.
He's awake, master. Awake.
Master.
Knife. Knife..
What is your job?
Where is your house?
What is your name?
Who are you?
Who am I?
Who are you?
Awake, awake.
That guy has woken up.
Of course he had to woken up. He took a lot of my tonic.
If he didn't wake up, he would feel sorry for me.
Say! What is your name! You must tell us.
If not, who should I ask money from!
Hey! Why are you so loud?
You want to scare him to death?
Go. Go. Go. Let's go.
Who are you?
Who am I?
What are you doing holding a knife?
To kill fish.
Keep it.
I think this fella is faking it.
He knows everything, but he doesn't want to pay.
He dares?
If that fella dares to not pay,
I'll throw him to the river to feed the fish.
A Zhuo.
Master, it looks like it's amnesia.
Amnesia?
Yes, he drown in the water for too long.
He would either die or lose his memory.
Look at that fella's eyes, it's like this.
It's amnesia.
I don't care if you are pretending or not.
If you kill someone, you pay with your life. If you are in debt, you should pay up.
It's unalterable.
Don't you want to know who you are? I'll tell you,
You drown in the river and was wounded by a gunshot.
If you met other people, you would have died a long time ago.
But you were lucky and met me.
Originally I thought this had nothing to do with me.
However, I can't help but pity you. So I rescued you.
Thank you.
Please do say that, for me,
I don't make friends, but want the payback.
Let's be clear.
In order to save you, I have used many good medicines.
Not just the medicines, also a lot of effort.
Effort means time.
Time means fish.
Fish means money.
Don't pretend, I have recorded the cost all in this book.
Are you clear about what the master just said?
Call your relatives to pay us back.
Who are my relatives?
"Purple Code", you have been calling this name while you were dreaming.
Ask her to come and pay me back.
Little guy, listen carefully.
I got you out of the river.
I can also throw you back.
Reporting - Come in.
Close the door.
Manager Zheng.
These are what we collected.
Rong Jingzhen's notes and calculations. Take it back to sort through.
Maybe, it will be useful for our work.
I will need to infirm you that these
are classified as the highest rank of top secret.
You can't show them to anyone, including our colleagues.
If you have any tips or ideas, only tell me.
Understood.
Manager Zheng,
Is Rong Jinzhen still nowhere to be found?
We will find him.
I own him.
I didn't take good care of him when he was in the Decode Department.
When he comes back, take a good care of him then.
You are dismissed.
After you check, check me, then Meng Xiaoyun.
You see what we can be killed anytime working outside.
Now coming back here, you have become a suspect.
As soon as think about this, I feel disgraced.
Where is Yanshi?
Zheng Qirong, where is Yanshi?
You didn't go with her to the Decode Department these days?
I'm working along now. - What is she doing?
I heard she is continuing Da Tou's work to decode the Purple Code.
Times like this, everyone is in danger. I can't look after others.
Right, let me give you a suggestion. Stop being nice to her.
Let me ask you. Did you tell Manager Lei about Yanshi and me?
What did you say?
I said you are a traitor.
I see you as my brother, but you expose my secret.
You said I'm a traitor. Say that again.
About Yanshi and me, besides you, no one else knew.
Now Manager Lei asked Yanshi.
Go and ask herself.
Recall anything?
Then take it slow.
Wash the clothes first.
Me?
Nonsense, besides you, who else?
What you eat, drink, use, and live with are all mine.
Still want me to serve you? Do chores.
Wash them clean.
