Did you kill that woman in the village house?
I didn't.
She's already dead when I got there. I just stole some antiques.
This is what happened. I didn't kill anyone.
Did you steal that celadon cup?
What cup? That green one with a crack?
Where is the cup now?
Stay here. Don't move.
Hey, it's dangerous. Hey.
George, what happened?
Why are you two here?
He is?
He's the only person who could prove my innocence.
Freeze...
Kiu Man-kit, hands behind your head.
Madam, this is a misunderstanding. He's innocent.
I saw someone shoot and kill this guy.
Anyway, Kiu Man-kit is a suspect in Chan Kai-ni's murder.
Take him in.
Yes, madam.
Kiu Man-kit joined our firm not too long ago.
I'm not well acquainted with him. I told you already.
I happened to run into him only. I didn't know what's going on.
By the way, the sniper was really skillful.
I think he's a professional hitman. You must look for him now or he'll flee.
That night I went to Chan Kai-ni's home as I wanted to buy an antique cup from her.
But when I got there, she's already dead.
I saw someone trying to escape. He's the deceased just now.
That's why I went there to look for him today.
I'm not involved in the death of those two persons.
I'm sorry. There's nothing I want to say.
Miss Yan, why were you at the murder scene?
Did you follow me?
Miss Yan, please answer my question.
Why did you appear at the scene where Ma Chi-kin was killed?
Why did you follow me?
Did you keep in touch with Kiu Man-kit all along after Chan Kai-Ni was killed?
Even though you don't know what kind of person George is,
you should know what kind of person I am.
Listen carefully, I believe George wouldn't kill anyone
Is that good enough?
The police work according to evidence.
The shoeprints and clothing fibers found at the murder scene...
match with those we found on Mr. Kiu Man-kit and in his home.
Besides, some of our colleagues saw him flee from the scene.
Why can't I suspect him?
If you are more cooperative,
we can find out sooner whether he's guilty.
Are you OK?
I'm fine.
How are you?
I'm fine. Don't worry. They will release me after sorting this out.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Yes. Keep Kiddy B company if you have the time.
I worry that he might feel bored.
Mr. Kiu, please.
Don't worry. The detention is just a routine in the investigation.
They will release George after clarifying the matter.
Now Ma Chi-kin is dead. No one can prove George's innocence.
Many of my friends are good at defending murder cases.
Shall I refer them to you?
Thank you. But I will talk to Kiddy B first.
Perhaps they have other plans.
Tell me if you need anything.
Yes?
Lai.
I don't have time to talk to you right now. Talk to you later.
Hey.
I'm on my way back. Don't move. Yes.
How come none of them listens to what I say.
I'm all ears. But you must be tired.
Get some rest first. Then talk to me, OK?
Yan Yin.
What's the matter, Madam Mok? Isn't my name Miss Yan now?
Let's talk.
That won't be necessary. I've already given you my statement.
I've got nothing further to tell you.
I know you are unhappy as I followed you.
But you should understand why I did so.
Why would I understand that?
You were so rational.
I don't know why you are so emotional this time.
We've been friends for over ten years...
I'm sorry, Madam Mok. You want to play by the book.
Then don't try to persuade me by invoking our friendship.
This is so contradictory.
What would you do if you were in my position?
Mantus, I'm really so tired. I want to go home.
You don't eat? You don't like the food?
I'm not hungry.
I want to ask you something.
Do you believe George?
Of course I do.
Good. You believe him. He will be fine for sure.
He's lived several hundred years. He's been through so many things.
But...
Don't worry.
He's even suffered the top ten tortures of Qing Dynasty.
How would he be beaten by being locked up?
You must keep these two things in your safe custody.
No matter how mad you are, these two things are innocent.
Your mom left you the physician bag. Your older brother gave you this watch.
My older brother?
You don't know you have an older brother? Let me tell you the story.
Tens of years before, there's a war in a certain place.
Back then Master George was a soldier.
Master George found the baby so cute. He wouldn't leave him behind.
So he adopted the baby and raised him.
When the baby's grown, he's smart and handsome.
Subsequently he even became Master George's able assistant.
Was my older brother the person that George saw off in the hospital
when I went there for the first time?
No. How would that guy be handsome and cool?
Where's my older brother now?
Right in front of you.
You are my older brother?
I knew you are as clever as me. Master George raised me.
He sent me to school. We were like father and son.
But now I look so much older than Master George.
So I can only pose as his butler to cover up my identity.
So you can't accept such a mature and reliable older brother?
Of course not.
I'm so happy that I don't know how to react.
Kiddy B, ever since my parents were dead, I thought I was all alone.
I didn't expect at all I still got an older brother.
Your older brother gave you the watch. You must keep it well.
Don't break it again.
OK.
To my daughter Yan Yin.
Eunice, I know you are still very mad at me.
But please give me a chance to explain.
On the first time I met you, my mood was so complicated.
I've suffered the pain of losing my wife.
My body won't perish. But I'm not stone-hearted.
The pain won't be reduced because the number of times have increased.
Experience makes me understand that
I've brought burden and misfortune to those around me.
I can't believe when I met you again, it was already twenty-six years later.
There's such a long blank period. I knew I couldn't make it up to you.
At first I only wanted to stay beside you as a friend.
But on the first time I heard you say that you had changed your decision
to become a doctor because of your parents' traffic accident,
I felt so shocked.
Why do you work as an insurance investigator?
I chose this job because my parents died in a car accident four years ago.
I believe your parents will be so proud of you.
I feel so ashamed too.
I know I can never make up for this mistake.
I'm a lousy dad.
If I could trade off my life
for getting together with you for twenty six years,
I wouldn't hesitate to do so at all. I don't expect you would forgive me.
But please allow me to be there for you so as to protect you.
I hope you could be happy. I love you forever. From your dad.
What did you say?
The bowl is in the speaker.
Sir, can I make a phone call?
Hello.
This guy George appeared at the murder scene on both occasions.
Could he be a serial killer?
According to Conan's rules, people look at a person's appearance only.
The killer in a homicide case is
usually a handsome guy or a pretty girl, so as to attract the audience.
Or he's so ordinary and honest that no one would expect him to be the killer.
Although George isn't as outstanding as that, he's still a handsome guy.
What does that mean?
That means anyone could be the killer.
You have so much time to guess who the killer is?
Come give me a hand in handling with the documents.
Otherwise Mam will nag us again when she comes in.
OK.
Guys, good morning. Be careful.
Mam.
Good morning.
Where's Lai and Eunice?
Eunice called in this morning to take the day off.
Lai went out to work. He won't come in today.
There's so much trash so early in the morning?
Right.
The manager of the accounts department lost his temper early in the morning.
He told his assistant to dump all the things...
as if we didn't have work to do.
You mean Manager Ho?
Yes. Who else but him?
Where's my paperweight?
You've lost it. How can you work as my assistant?
You've worked for me for so long. But you still can't find it?
Excuse me. I'm from IT department. I'm here to upgrade your computer.
Who gave you permission to come in?
It's inconvenient now. Why don't you come later?
OK. Is this paperweight yours?
It belongs to Mr. Ho.
I'm sorry. I repaired the computer yesterday.
Perhaps I took it by mistake. I didn't realize that till last night.
So I brought it back to you immediately today.
Thank you.
No problem.
Thank God you returned the paperweight in time or else I'd be doomed.
How come you are in possession of it?
The cleaning lady gave it to me. It happened to be your boss' property.
This is good. It's returned to its owner.
I must really thank you for helping me.
Buy me a meal then.
No problem. Let's go to lunch together later.
OK.
Lai, today's lunch is nice. Enjoy.
Thank you. This restaurant is so busy. I usually come here to buy takeout.
You are so smart to get a table!
Yes. I'm a regular patron here. The waiters know me.
Tell them you are my friend when you come again next time.
Sure.
We are colleagues. By the way, your boss is really hard to serve, right?
Jeff was a nice boss before. He's very nice to his subordinates.
So he became like this after he was paralyzed?
He's become very moody after the accident. He's so paranoid.
It's really tough for you.
Never mind the tough jobs in the office.
Do you know I had to work as a paparazzo with him after work?
What do you mean paparazzo?
He thought his wife cheated on him.
I had to drive him around to follow his wife when I was off.
Are you serious? This is outrageous. You had to do that all the time?
Yes. I also had to...
Excuse me.
What would you like to order?
Takeout. What a coincidence?
You know Lai too?
Who's the girl sitting next to him?
I guess she's his girlfriend. Recently many girls approached Lai.
Please give me some soy sauce.
OK.
It's hard to eat as it's so dry.
You want to order takeout?
I'll take a look first. I'll be back.
Lai, have you got anything?
Not yet. Still working on it. I met Ho Kin-yip today.
I even talked to his assistant.
His relationship with his wife wasn't that good after he's paralyzed.
He even asked his assistant to follow his wife.
He thought she was seeing someone.
Is it possible that he paid someone to kill his wife?
That wouldn't be surprising at all.
Ma Chi-kin told you something before he died.
What did he actually mean?
I think it must be related to his wife's death.
Worried? Sad? Desperate?
Ever since my husband was injured in the accident,
I've learned to be strong.
My only objective is to take good care of him.
Chan Kai-Ni, work hard. You can make it for sure.
Honey, I know you didn't mean to yell at me or throw me out.
You lost your temper as you were mad at yourself.
You thought you were so useless. Anyway, I will never give up.
So persistence pays.
Gilbert is a famous neurosurgeon. I tried to look for him for a long time.
At last I managed to meet him through some former classmates.
If he agrees to help, there will be hope for honey.
Why do you stop?
Someone's crossing the road.
Sorry.
Start the car. Move!
Pull over ahead.
Maggie.
Hi.
Husband.
Sorry. I need to answer a call.
Where are you?
I'm sorry. I'm still checking some antiques in Fanny's shop.
Are you hungry? If so, you go ahead and eat.
I cooked something this morning and put them in the fridge.
You only need to reheat them.
Was it Jeff?
Hey, come with me. I'm rich.
Get lost, freak.
What do you mean freak?
You are handsome. But too bad you're a cripple.
What cripple? I don't believe I can't buy you gals with money.
You call me a cripple?
You want women only. You don't need to be so mad.
Let me buy you a drink.
Honey, I've spilled some water. Come in to clean up for me.
Did you call me? Are you hungry?
Dinner will be ready after I've steamed the fish.
Give me a few minutes.
Do you need help?
Why? Why did you kill my wife? Why did you kill my wife?
I do miss you so much.
How did you two do your jobs?
You screwed up even though it's a minor job.
You said he's smart?
Do you know you would get the whole team into trouble if you make a mistake?
What's done can't be undone.
The most important thing is to settle the matter.
The matters settled because I was quick in responding.
Otherwise all of us would be in trouble already.
Brother Blue, this isn't my fault. I was already very careful.
I posed as a burglar according to your plan.
But that woman resisted. In the end, there came a real burglar.
You should have killed the burglar too. How could you allow him to ruin our plan?
It's lucky that Kiu Man-kit became our patsy.
Now the cops have targeted him. They've even arrested him.
We are out of trouble.
Out of trouble?
If I didn't ask Tang to kill the burglar,
could he still sit here?
We owe it to Fence Chuen for his help.
Fence Chuen.
Brother Chiu, I'm in possession of what you are looking for.
The guy who sold it to me is Stupid Kin.
Besides, another guy came just now to ask about the same cup.
OK. You will be paid.
Tang, where are you? I want you to take action right away.
You left behind the loose ends. The whole team must help you fix it.
Look, Blue. This is my fault. I've failed to supervise my junior.
But we are in the same boat. No one wants to get into trouble.
I, King-chiu, promise that Kam won't screw up again.
Don't screw up again... You two leave first.
I'll call you guys if there's anything.
Good morning, Mam.
You do look different seeing someone. Keep it up.
But don't allow this to affect your work progress.
Let's talk. I'm busy.
Sorry, Mam. I'm preoccupied.
Go ahead.
Sit down. I know what you want to ask.
You want to know why I was with George when Ma Chi-kin was killed, right?
George asked me for help.
That means you sneaked the phone into my handbag?
Who else would do so? You were smart to go there.
So you believe George is innocent?
What's the use? Now Ma Chi-kin's dead. Who can prove his innocence?
Jeff can. I'll go ask him.
Hey, don't be so impulsive. Sit down. What are you going to ask him?
Ask him whether he paid someone to kill his wife?
You would only alert him. Being impulsive won't help.
Even though George is really your dad,
you still need to stay cool so as to help him.
How did you find out?
I was head of CIB before. You think I'm useless?
I could tell easily by looking at the expression of you two.
But don't worry. I've promised George to keep the secret.
OK. But all the evidence has come to a dead end now.
How can we help George?
We can still investigate something.
What is it?
George said before Ma Chi-kin died, he told him something.
He said the bowl was in the speaker.
The bowl was in the speaker?
At first I wondered if the bowl was the murder weapon that's used to kill Maggie.
It can't be. The police said the murder weapon was a knife.
Therefore I overturned this assumption.
What does it mean then?
Clueless.
But what Ma Chi-kin said before he died must mean something.
Could the bowl be the only thing that can prove who the real killer is?
That's possible. We don't have a choice now.
Let's find out what's this bowl that's put in the speaker.
Ma Chi-kin was a collector. He's in possession of many speakers.
Let's search them one by one. See if there's anything.
OK.
Hey, if a speaker isn't a speaker, what else could it be?
How about a trumpet?
There's an old shop around that sells musical instruments.
Let's go check it out.
Boss.
Yes?
Do you sell trumpets?
Yes. But there's only one left.
Good. I want to buy a trumpet.
Let me see...
There isn't any sound? Does it come with the box?
You need to pay for it.
Let me check. How come the box looks this way?
This isn't the right box. No thanks.
It's neither a speaker nor a trumpet. What else could it be?
Exactly. We've considered a trumpet and even a tuba.
What actually is it?
Do you guys mean morning glories?
There's a morning glory field in the mountain.
Morning glories?
There were morning glories before all over the place.
But now there will be land resumption. No one tills the field anymore.
There are no longer morning glories.
But everyone in our village is used to calling that place morning glory field.
Yan, look at this.
Thank you very much.
I'm not the one who worked the hardest to help you.
OK. You two sort it out between yourselves. I'm going to lunch with Lan. Bye.
Hey, Lai.
You don't need to thank me. My service isn't for free.
Each of you owes me a nice meal. I'll claim them later.
Actually Lai is a pretty reliable friend.
He's mean in the way he talks. But he's actually kind-hearted.
This is his self-protection mechanism only.
I think he's got some unhappy experience in life.
Talking about unhappy experience in life, who can be your match?
No, I'm so happy today as you came to pick me up.
You just keep talking. Get on the car and go home.
Kiddy B misses you very much.
Raw tofu? What are you doing?
It's for you specifically. Just take a bite or two.
Then you will get rid of the bad luck.
Kiddy B says walking over a fire basin
and taking a shower with pomelo leaves is too outdated.
It's so lame.
But who eats raw tofu for good luck?
People in Korea. Before that, they did so in Joseon.
And before that, Goryeo. And before that, Silla.
So it's even more outdated, right?
Are you eating or not? This is in your interest.
Sure. I'll finish all of it.
You do that.
What's so funny?
It's so funny.
Your older brother is so strict. Here comes Madam.
Hello, Madam.
Hello.
Have a seat please.
Hi. Please sit down.
Sit down. Let's start eating. This drumstick is yours.
Look. This drumstick goes to Madam.
She doesn't like drumsticks.
She likes chicken breasts as there's cartilage.
You two can get along so well. You won't fight over chickens for sure.
Of course. We've been friends for over ten years.
It's twelve years. You must be exact.
You are calculating.
Calculating? I'm so magnanimous. Otherwise you wouldn't be eating here.
George invited me. He's magnanimous. You aren't.
This plate is for Mantus. It isn't for you.
Hey, are you two done talking? Can we start eating now?
Sorry for being late.
Hey...
This is for you. I think you need this.
Pomelo leaves shower gel.
So someone is more old fashioned than me.
Old fashioned? This shower gel is so hit.
Have a seat please. Let's start eating.
Thank you. Have a seat please.
I'll get you a knife and a fork.
Thank you. Well Madam, how's the progress of the case?
The lab has confirmed that there's the deceased Chan Kai-ni's fingerprints
on the bronze bowl delivered by Eunice.
But the bloodstains found on it don't belong to the deceased or Ma Chi-kin.
In other words, they belong to the killer.
But we haven't found a match yet in the police database.
They are so cold-blooded to send a sniper to kill.
Their mastermind isn't simple at all.
George, you are already in the clear. Leave this to us the police, OK?
OK.
There's still something.
It would be perfect if the celadon cup could be found.
Sometimes things are predestined. Don't keep talking. Dig in.
We are so happy today. Let's take a picture before we eat, OK?
Ready. Cheese.
Yan, where's George?
He...
I allowed him two days' leave. Something so serious happened.
He needs rest.
This is unfair.
I'm not being unfair.
Next time if any of you gets detained by the police, I'll give him a week's leave.
Touch wood. None of us needs this kind of leave.
Mind your own business. How's Chan Kai-ni's case?
Murder investigation takes a long time.
We can't help it even though the insurance company wants a result.
Breaking news. Just now I learned in the bathroom that
Jeff of the accounts department submitted his resignation yesterday.
When is his last day?
He's an actuary. He's done the math.
After deducting all the leaves and OT payment,
he could leave immediately once he tendered his resignation yesterday.
The company even paid him two days' wages. He's so smart.
Something serious happened. He does need a break.
Don't keep chatting. Get down to business.
I'll call George. Hello George, I need to talk to you.
Lease/Sale. Agents' hotline.
It's this guy again? He's the target this time?
Yes.
Who wants to kill him?
It's the client himself.
He pays us to kill himself? What's he doing?
Wait a second. How about the fee last time?
He paid that already. He's rich. Perhaps he doesn't want to live.
But accountants are particularly tricky.
Perhaps he wants to defraud the insurance Company so that his mom will get paid.
Such a loser deserves to die.
How are we going to do it?
Hit and run. Simple and direct. Tell him the time and venue.
Find someone to drive an unregistered car there to get it done.
OK. I'll do it.
It's OK. I'll do it.
I can manage, big brother.
Let him do it. Give him a chance to make it up.
Don't worry, big brother. Easy job. No problem.
Be smart.
Don’t screw up. After this is done, you will get your cut.
Hello.
The killer who murdered Chan Kai-Ni...
will appear in Lower Shing Mun Reservoir today at 3 p.m.
Chase him!
Rescue him.
Call an ambulance!
Yes, Madam!
One Cup. Closed.
Jeff wanted to lure the killer out. So he used himself as bait.
How did you know that Jeff had paid someone to kill his wife?
He sent me a confession letter. He said he thought his wife had an affair.
Then someone called him and said he could help him kill his wife.
He said yes. They even arranged to do it
while he was getting an award in his company's annual dinner.
That way he would get a perfect alibi.
Too bad I received the letter only after I had found his body.
I couldn't stop this from happening.
Jeff must feel so painful and guilty after Maggie's death.
How can we prove that it's the same person that killed Jeff and Maggie?
Forensic has already compared the deceased's DNA.
It's the same as the DNA of the bloodstains on the celadon cup.
Besides, we found a voice changer in his possession.
There's also an unregistered SIM card that he used to communicate with Ho Kin-yip.
He's the person who killed Ma Chi-kin?
We found a sniper rifle in his home. There isn't any fingerprint on it.
But we've compared the rifling. It's the same rifle used to kill Ma Chi-kin.
We also found Tin Ling's info in his home.
Tin Ling? That visually-impaired sculptor?
What have you guys found?
Photos that he took when following Tin Ling,
notices for dismantling the signboard, and notes on how to stage the accident.
You mean he's responsible for Tin Ling's case too?
Both cold cases are solved just like that. Don't you think it's too easy?
Is it sensible that he did everything on his own?
Tin Ling's case was over so long ago.
Why did the killer still keep the evidence at home?
Wasn't he afraid someone would find it?
It appears someone deliberately allowed the police to find all the evidence.
Now the guy is dead. They can make up any story they like.
I share your view. Too bad there's concrete evidence.
If we can't find new clues, I think we must close the file.
You were right. Jeff intended to nail us by his death.
It's lucky that we were well prepared. Otherwise we would really get into trouble.
Now To Kam became our scapegoat. The cops have cracked the case.
They won't pursue further.
Lecher, you haven't changed for work yet?
The client will come at 5 p.m. to get the car.
What's the hurry?
What did you say?
OK. Right on it.
Big brother, it's done. How about my goddess?
Won't you share such nice stuff with me? I'll give it back to you later.
OK.
Hey.
What?
No goddess. Grab a beer.
Thank you, big brother.
I can manage, big brother.
Be careful.
Chiu, King wants to talk to you.
You leave first.
King has decided to give up the pawn.
Big brother.
Kam, be careful.
Don't worry. I'll be smart this time.
I'm sorry.
I owe you. I'll pay you back in the afterlife.
Wing-yee, look at our daughter Yan Yin.
She looks so much like you.
She is more like you. She is smart and stubborn like you.
Wing-yee, I'm sorry.
Why do you say that?
I'm not a nice dad. I've failed you.
I don't know what to say except the word sorry.
It's so hard for you to meet our daughter again.
You need to spend more time to mend the relationship with her.
I will do everything I can to make it up to her.
I won't allow her to be hurt again.
I feel relieved then.
Wing-yee, now I see our daughter again.
That reminds me of many things that happened when we were together.
I miss you so much.
Shouldn't you let go?
I don't want to. I'm afraid you will never appear again.
Hello, Eunice.
Did you call me? I didn't hear the call just now.
What's the matter?
Do you have time to come to my place for dinner tonight?
OK.
OK. See you tonight then.
Bye.
Hey, isn't this the house we sneaked into last time?
Yes.
Then why did you ask me to come here? What if someone sees me here?
Don't worry. You'll be fine.
What are you trying to do?
You want to find out? Go to the sitting room.
Please open this.
Eunice, sorry.
What are you doing? Mantus.
Please open this.
I know you don't like people lying to you.
Therefore I've decided to tell you the truth.
Actually this is my home.
The cellar last time belongs to me too.
You said we could drink here. I can't open the door.
Let me try.
It worked!
You like telling lies so much? Cheuk Sing-yeung, show yourself.
Otherwise I'll be mad at you.
Here I am. Don't be mad.
Why would I listen to you? You lied to me.
I did so to please you only.
If you don't like that, I will never lie again then.
Get off me first.
Don't be mad at me first.
Get off me first.
Don't be mad at me first.
OK. I'm not mad.
At first I wanted to tell you everything after you've read this note.
But you've ruined my plan.
I can open it now.
If you will forgive me, please pull the rope once.
How much time have you spent on this?
