Episode 025
6 mandarin fish, 2 yuan 5 cents.
7 maces of red ginseng, 5 yuan 9 cents.
2 sacks of dry grains, 6 yuan 75 cents.
75 cents.
Adding everything up, it's 14 yuan 34 cents.
Plus an additional bottle of dragon bone wine that costs
3 yuan 97 cents.
The total is now 18 yuan 21 cents.
It's 18 yuan 31 cents.
What?
14 yuan 34 cents plus 3 yuan 97 cents equals 18 yuan 31 cents.
Adding 1 yuan 74 cents gives...
20 yuan 5 cents.
Come here.
- What for?- I told you to come here.
You're so good mathematics, aren't you?
Sum up all the rest for me.
36 yuan and
82 cents.
Are you sure it's correct?
Yes, I'm sure.
I now know what your job must have been.
You must have been an accountant.
Think about it properly. Who was your boss?
I came to know about it after a long, long time.
That during the time when I lost my memory,
Director Gao, Chief Zheng, Chief Lei,
Zhai Li, and many people from 701
were all desperately looking for me
without a good night's sleep.
Just like me, who wanted to find out the truth,
they kept looking for any clues.
Looking for me, where exactly I was.
You're just a mere accountant
and you can't even remember who your boss was.
You, ungrateful bastard!
36 yuan 82 cents. Hey, boy.
This is how much you owe me for all this time.
Remember to pay them back at double the amount.
Come. Sign it.
What's my name?
Give me your hand.
Purple Code.
I understand.
Your relationship with Zi Mi (purple code) might not be just friends.
If you can find her, you'll get to know who you are.
Think of it carefully, where is she?
I'm also looking for it.[the third person pronoun he/she/it has the same pronunciation in Chinese]
I also want to know. What is it actually?
Be honest with me. Is she your wife?
No.
It's too far from me.
Then, she must be your girlfriend?
It ran away.
I can't get hold of it.
Ran away?
I can't get hold of it.
Can you please give me paper and pen?
Paper..? And pen..?
Please give me pen and paper.
I want to catch it.
Take a deep breath.
Control the level at which you're holding the gun.
Very good.
This man is called Sun Xiang Qing.
He's 42 years old. He was transferred to the Ning Zhou Police Department 6 months earlier.
How did you find out?
I leaked some information on purpose.
I let out the news that a batch of important documents were due to be transported to Ning Zhou,
and that they will be in the city before being taken to 701.
As predicteded, this man sneaked into the archives office yesterday
and wanted to steal the documents. He was caught red-handed.
When we were verifying the documents, we thought something was off.
It's indicated clearly in his resume
that he was once a logistics officer at the battle of Ping Jing in 1948.
He was in charge of replenishing the army's supplies.
After the liberation, he found work at the army's factory for non-staple foodstuff.
However, there was a 4 year period in-between
that was entirely blank.
We sensed something was wrong.
He said that he went into hiding in his hometown
and only came back to Ning Zhou after liberation.
So Deputy Director Wu and I set up this trap,
and he fell right into it.
Rong Jinzhen disappeared, and you want to break the Purple Code so badly.
That's why you are so worried. But it is really not your fault.
Think about it. Of all those who worked at the Decoding Department, some went crazy,
some went missing. With all the work that went into it,
the Purple Code still can't be cracked.
I hate myself because I'm not a genius,
and I have very bad luck.
There's still no clues at all.
I'm not a mathematics person, so I can't really help you much with it.
But I hope, at your loneliest time,
and depressed time, don't forget you still have me.
I am willing to share it with you.
Moreover, my luck is not very bad.
What is the code?
Zhen.["zhen" means "needle" in Chinese]
Which Zhen?[she's clarifying which Chinese character he's referring to, in case it's a homophone]
The Zhen that means "needle,"
What a pity. You pricked the wrong place.
Bad luck.
Whose orders do you listen to?
My Superior is Cheng Jiang Yan, code Fei Long.
When did you start to work for him?
I joined the organization three years ago.
During that time, my wife suffered from a serious heart attack and required an immediate operation.
They found me and said that they could help me.
They brought my wife and kids to Hong Kong
on the condition that I remain undercover in the army's factory,
awaiting their orders, which may come at any time. I agreed to it.
How long were you undercover?
No one contacted me during those three years.
Until 6 months ago I was transferred to the Nin Zhou Police Force as a logistics officer.
Fei Long summoned me
and ordered me to steal information about 701.
I work from the inside while he works from the outside.
I found out that Rong Jinzhen and Zhai Li were spies,
and I passed on this piece of information.
There's something that I need to apologize to you about.
That day when Chief Lei asked to talk to me, he told me to tell the truth to the organisation.
I was confused at the moment and couldn't think straight. I betrayed you
and told him about us. I told him
that I liked you.
You really said that?
That's good.
I'll be a betrayer too.
Chief Lei came to talk to me too.
I admitted to him that it was me who went after you.
I pleaded for the organisation to allow us to be a couple.
What did Chief Lei say?
He said that we need to keep our distance.
If not, we will be punished according to the rules.
Who is the Awakener?
He's the leader of the organization.
Have you met him?
He's way beyond my rank. There's a slim chance that I'll ever get to meet him.
Then who do you contact?
I've only been in contact with Fei Long.
Where's Fei Long? Did he take Rong Jinzhen away?
After that day, I've never been in contact with him anymore.
No one contacted you?
I have been waiting for them to contact me.
I thought, as long as I send them the important document,
I could cut ties with the organisation once and for all.
I don't want... I don't want to be blackmailed by them again.
Do you know this symbol?
I know it.
What does it mean?
It means "the mission has been compromised."
"It's dangerous. Leave at once."
I know it's difficult to be in relationship within 701. There's a lot of conditions to be met.
Next time, it'll be more difficult to get married.
However, the more difficult it gets,
the more I treasure this relationship, and the more I want it to continue on.
As the saying goes: when the conditions are right, do it.
But when the conditions are not right, do it by making the them right.
Our love has to endure this harsh test of reality.
No problem. Are you scared to be punished?
I'm not afraid with you by my side.
I never imagined that being a traitor can be so good.
Oh, yes. I will have to treat Zhao Qirong to a meal tomorrow
as an apology. I've always thought that it was him who sold me out.
How would Zhao Qirong know about the two of us?
This is not important. I would rather
have more people know about our love.
Will I be executed?
Yes.
I thought that capturing this enemy spy
would help us find Rong Jinzhen.

Ah Mu.
Today is the day to perform the sacrificial ceremony for the River God. Why isn't the master out yet?
Are you blind?
The master has not gotten up on time
ever since that pretty boy came here.
But that's weird. That pretty boy is already up.
Morning.
Fella, let me tell you about our Master's condition.
Her family name is Shen, her full name is Shen Yu.
Her mother is a Han Chinese.
The surname Shen comes from her mother's side.
The most important thing is,
she is the daughter of the Chief of us Nuo Su people.
Do you know why I am telling you these things?
I've read your fortune.
Your misfortune is not yet over.
Even though you live in the same hut as Master,
know your place and be good.
Don't ever think to want something that can't be yours.
Understand?
I understand.
What the hell?
Do you want to die? Huh? You want to die?
Help Me! Help Me! Help Me! Help Me! Help Me!
Let go! Let go!
Help me!
Hey! Stop!
What happened?
Master! Look!
This scoundrel disrespected the River God!
Sorry. I didn't know I couldn't write on it.
It's just numbers.
Ah Mu, do we still have joss paper?
Yeah, we do.
So why don't we just replace it with a new one?
Okay.
Ah Cuo, let go.
River God, you govern over all of us. Please accept my tribute.
These three people were sent here by the Awakener to help you. Go wake them up.
Remember. This will be your last chance.
Murderer 3100 Code: Bai Mei.
Murderer 4007 Code: Zi Shan
Murderer 3965 Code: Jin Zhao
I can't call you " hey hey" all the time.
How about I give you a name?
What should I name you?
If you board my boat, you belong to me.
That means I should give you a traditional Nuo Su name.
I already have Ah Mu and Ah Cuo,
How about... Anigu? What do you think?
Why?
No reason. I like it.
Why did I get this wrong again?
Why do I always get it wrong at this step?
You really don't understand it do you?
Next time I'll call you Anigu. Hey!
I'll call you Anigu next time. You have to agree, okay?
Okay.
Anigu.
Master! Run away!
Hurry!! Run!
Ah Mu!! Ah Mu!!
Let me go!! I'm going to kill that bastard!!
Go!
- Go!!- Ah Mu!!
Let me go!
- Let me go!- Walk faster!
Let me go! I want to go back and kill that bastard!
Let me go!
Ah Mu!! Ah Cuo!! La Ma!!
Give them back to me!!!
- Chief Lei- Director Wu.
The fishermen who lived nearby saw the ships catch fire
and came to put it out. When they arrived,
they found these three people, already killed.
They immediately called the police.
Are they ship owners too?
We only know that the ships belonged to the Nuo Su people.
They were quite closed off and didn't interact a great deal with their neighbours.
We've yet to find out the details.
Judging from the situation,
it must be related to Rong Jinzhen.
Sir! Ma'am!
We found another male corpse at the back of the mountain.
Director Wu. Chief Lei.
This is what we found on the body.
We also found a handgun nearby.

Looks like the enemy spies have gotten their hands on Rong Jinzhen's whereabouts. They're attempting to kill him.
Captain Cao,
find out from the fishermen in the surrounding areas immediately regarding the ownership of that boat.
Identify these four corpses as soon as possible.- Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
Also, inform the rescue team to increase the intensity of their search
with this area as the focal point.
We have to find him before the enemy spies do.
Understand!
Where is this?
This is where we store our food. It looks safe, at least for now.
We'll stay here for one night.
Go with me to the Endless Cliff tomorrow morning.
Why do we have to go?
You fell down from that cliff, so we'll look for clues there.
I want to know, who you actually are.
Why do you need to know who I am?
In the beginning, you only owed me money.
But now, you owe me one boat.
So, I must find out who you are.
How about I write another I-owe-you?
I'll write "Anigu owes Shen Yue
one fishing boat and two instances of his life being saved by her."
This note will serve as proof.
If I am rich like what you said,
after I confirmed my status,
I'll pay you back everything I owe.
If you really are rich,
you can pay me money, you can pay me with a boat,
but how about person's life?
Ah Mu, Ah Cuo and La Ma...
They cannot just die like that.
Go write your I-owe-you.
Remember to add a line that says
you, Anigu, owe Shen Yue three lives.
According to the forensic scientists,
the man who died in the woods was about 35 years old.
He died of excessive blood loss from a rupture of the arteries in his neck
during a violent fight with somebody.
We found a pistol not far away from where he died
and found his fingerprints on it.
It looks like he is indeed an assassin sent by the enemy spies.
Have you verified his identity?
We have went through all of the identity records in the Ning Zhou police systems.
No record of this man can be found.
As for the three male corpses on the boat, it's confirmed that they are Nuo Su.
We found a fishmonger who had interacted with them.
According to him, the owner of the boat is a Nuo Su girl.
Her Han name is Shen Yue.
Those three were all workers on the boat.
Has that fishmonger ever seen Rong Jinzhen together with that group of people?
We showed them Rong Jinzhen's photo.
They said a few days ago,
they saw a young guy appeared on their boat.
However, they only met him once.
Therefore, they couldn't remember him clearly.
Furthermore, that man was also dressed in Nuo Su attire.
Any news of that female boat owner?
No.
The fishmonger said that he hasn't seen them at all these few days.
However, we've informed the portrait artists to begin work on a portrait of that female boat owner.
Wait a minute.
Make it clear first.
If not, I won't be able to drink this.
Why are you treating me?
There are three reasons.
Firstly, Zhao Qirong, I shouldn't have accused you of something you didn't do.
I shouldn't have distrusted you and not seen you as a true brother.
I'm sorry.
I will drink this first cup as a punishment.
As for the second cup, I will drink it on behalf of Yanshi.
She said that I have to thank you for her.
Thank you, for keeping my secret safe.
Also, thank you for all the snacks that you always bring for us.
- As for the third cup...- Hold on, hold on. Put it down.
What the hell are you doing?
There are only two bottles of wine. Do you plan to drink them all?
Are you here to thank me or to use it as an excuse for yourself to drink?
It's not funny at all.
Do you know?
I, Shen Yue, Lansuoya,
am the daughter of the Chief of the Nuo Su people.
I know.
Ah Ma told me that.
She said that your mother is a Han Chinese.
Your surname, Shen, comes from your mother's family.
I heard that my mom is very pretty.
But I've never met her.
My grandfather is a businessman.
He brought everyone to Guangdong to do business
On the way there, they met bandits.
Everyone was killed.
But my mom ran away.
She's hurt and fainted half way.
My Dad rescued her.
After that, my dad married my mom even though his family was against it.
And I was born.
