Judiciary confidential document.
Thank you for your help.
You're welcome. I'm just returning your favor.
Your younger brother is honest and upright. I don't believe he sold the exam questions.
I don't believe it either.
This is confidential info. Burn it after you read it.
OK. I know what to do.
Su Dongpo, I seldom see you at the Judiciary.
That doesn't mean I never come here. Don't you agree, Prime Minister Wang?
It's just odd.
How odd is it?
Hey, what's that?
It's just a rare book. I asked a friend to buy it for me. And he did.
So I came to pick it up.
OK. I won't hold you guys up. Talk to you later.
OK.
Goodbye.
OK...Bye...Officer Su.
What's the matter, Prime Minister Wang?
You've dropped something.
Really? Let me see. Right. I did drop that. Thank you very much.
I was so careless. Goodbye.
Su Mansion.
Brother Dongpo.
Master.
What have you got? Can you help my husband?
I asked someone to secretly give me the documents from the Judiciary.
The details of all the people involved in the exam question leak case is there.
I hope it will help me find the mastermind.
But the trial starts in five days.
Honey, you should say there are ten half days.
Sis Mi, there's still time. Don't worry.
Be it five or ten days, you must save my husband.
I'm so worried about him.
Don't worry...Didn't you say you would go and see Brother Zhe today?
I went to the cell today.
But the people there wouldn't let me see him.
I gave them money already. But they still wouldn't let me see him.
Don't worry. I have confidence in Honey. I'm sure he'll crack the case.
That's right.
If Brother Zhe didn't commit the crime, no one can get him convicted.
So you're confident you can save him?
Do you have any ideas? Have you found anything?
Give me some time, OK?
Why don't you get some rest inside? Let Honey focus on the investigation.
Don't worry. I will save Brother Zhe.
Chun Xue.
Yes, Madam.
Help Sis Mi to her bedroom.
Get some rest Honey, you must look after her.
I will.
I'm going to work in the study. Don't disturb me it it's not urgent.
Don't worry.
I will manage the family for you so you can focus on the investigation.
But you mustn't put too much pressure on yourself. Don't frown anymore.
OK.
Miss Xiaomei, you're cheating.
I just made one more wish. It will still work.
The villagers say that
each person can only ask the wishing tree for a wish each day.
Really? Now what?
Brother Zhe's case appears to be more serious, right?
I don't know.
OK. I'll make a wish for Brother Zhe.
You change the word Honey to Master Qin in my wish for Honey's safety.
We'll each make a wish. We won't be breaking any rules then.
You're so clever. I'll change it then.
Master will be safe. Brother Zhe will be proven innocent.
Why were you so forgetful?
You forgot to bring brushes and ink with you when you left home.
You suddenly wanted to change the words. Where was I supposed to find a brush?
Chun Hua, it's good to know how to improvise.
But it's more important to have a plan B.
I don't think that's the meaning of how to improvise.
You're talking back? You explain it then.
It means making adjustments to the original plan
according to changes in the existing situation.
You're showing off. Cite me an example if you are so smart.
Well...
Miss, at first I only wanted to rob you of your money.
But after seeing you, I want sex instead. This is called improvising.
That's a good example.
Take your clothes off. Take them off.
Hey, I just want sex.
You don't have to give me your life too, do you?
Help!
You want to assault me sexually? I know kung fu.
Madam, are you OK? Wake up...
You've come to?
What's your name?
Why don't we help you sit down over there.
Have some tea. Do you feel better now?
My head still hurts.
She hit her head on the ground just how.
Perhaps that's causing the pain.
That's possible. When will the doctor arrive?
I'll go and ask again.
OK.
Where do you live? I'll ask someone to take you home later.
We're not bad people. You don't need to worry.
We just want to thank you.
Are you from out of town? Shall I rent a room in an inn for you?
I don't know...I'm sorry.
I know you're good people, and you won't hurt me.
But I really don't know where I'm from. My head still really hurts.
She can't remember her name or where she's from.
So...Mrs. Who, what are you doing?
Why do you want to kill yourself?
I don't think I have a place in this pathetic world.
I have no family or friends. I'm all alone.
You have us.
That's right. You end up like this because you tried to save my sister-in-law.
How could we turn our back to you?
You mean you'll take me in?
Of course You can at least stay until you've fully recovered.
Thank you.
Su Mansion.
Who is it?
It's me.
Come in please.
Xiaomei, the thunder is so loud. I'm scared.
I need company. Is that OK?
We been waiting for an opportunity like this for a while.
Ever since Sis Damei got married,
I haven't confided in anyone in a long time.
This is funny.
Why do you tie strips of cloth with words written on them to your bed?
They will send my messages.
I also hung strips of cloth on Tian Ping Shan's wishing tree
so the wind will carry my words of blessing to Master.
You're so earnest. I'm sure your husband will come home safely.
Let me tell you a secret.
Actually I want to call him Hubby. It's so odd to call him Master.
But Sis Runzhi said that only commoners call their husbands hubbies.
My husband is a government official. So I must call him Master.
It doesn't matter what you call him as long as you have a husband.
I hope you'll remember your husband soon.
But the most important is remembering your name first.
My name...
Are you OK?
All my problems will be gone if I can meet my husband soon.
That will happen.
Honey, stop working. Come over here and have the soup.
OK.
This is knotweed and snow fungus soup. It'll help you think.
I need more then. I still don't have a clue.
What have you got so far? What can I do to help?
It's neither complicated nor simple.
There are a total of six people including Brother Zhe in the Ministry of Rites
who are in charge of setting the questions.
There are three other people who guard the exam questions.
In other words, there are nine people
who could sell the exam questions to the crime syndicate.
Of course Brother Zhe's excluded from the suspects.
So you do have a lead. At least eight people are suspicious.
Who among the eight suspects did it?
Take a break. The soup is getting cold. Have it first.
Right. It'll help me think. Let me finish it quickly.
Oh, Mrs. Who saved Xiaomei today...
Who's Mrs. Who?
She doesn't remember anything, not even her name.
That's why I'm calling her Mrs. Who for the time being.
I've decided to let her stay here.
That's a correct decision. That Mrs. Who saved Xiaomei.
We shouldn't forget her. We should help her in return.
You're still in the mood to joke.
Making jokes livens me up. It helps me think.
Honey, don't stay up so late. I'll finish the soup and get back to work.
You go to sleep first. Don't wait for me.
Goodnight.
People say you miss a person like
it's been three autumns even though you haven't seen him for just a day ...Three...
Don't count. It will just make you miss him more.
You two have so many autumns to be together.
I want to see him every day. It's so lame to say that.
You're so deeply in love. Did you just get married?
Did you go to his hometown to pay respect to his ancestors
after you got married?
No. Gao You isn't near here.
Gao You?
Yes. Honey said the Viburnum there are really beautiful
I have a beautiful ﬂower too. Let me show you.
OK...
I gave this flower hairpin to Honey on our wedding day.
Sis Runzhi made it for me. It's one-of-a-kind.
It's so beautiful. I wish I had one.
I'll ask Sis Runzhi to teach you how to make one later.
Great.
Su Mansion.
Who broke this vase?
Do you guys know this was my dads favorite vase when he was alive?
Chun Yue, did you break it accidentally?
You better tell me the truth or I'll be really strict with you.
I didn't, sir. I was watching Master Mai just now because he was asleep.
How about you?
I didn't either, sir.
I went to the kitchen with Chun Hua to prepare breakfast
after I got up this morning.
Right. That's why I didn't break it either, sir.
Gao Gui, what did you do this morning?
1 didn't break it, sir. 1 went to fetch the breakfast.
And you?
1 didn't break it, sir. 1 went with him to fetch the breakfast.
Honey, what about you?
I was in the kitchen supervising them while they were preparing breakfast for you.
Right...
Where's Xiaomei? She's still not up yet?
Brother Dongpo, I'm here.
It's good you're here. Look. That's my dad's favorite vase.
It's broken now. Who broke it? Did you break it?
I'm innocent. I spent the whole night talking to Mrs. Who. I just got up now.
How could I have broken it?
This is Mrs. Who?
Yes.
Officer Su.
You didn't break it. Nor did you. Who broke it then? Did God break it?
What? Brother Dongpo, do you mean even God doesn't like my husband?
I didn't mean that...
Now what? There are only three days left. Then he'll be beheaded. Now what?
Calm down.
Sis Mi, I prayed for Brother Zhe yesterday. He'll be fine.
That's right. There must be a reason this vase is broken, right, Honey?
Of course there's a reason. I was just talking gibberish.
Do you really believe God broke the vase? I don't think it was broken by a human being
Otherwise there wouldn't be so many fragments left behind.
You think the culprit wanted to be caught?
Don't you guys agree?
What broke it then if it wasn't a human being?
What has four legs and a tail that can walk, run and climb in the house?
What's that?
You don't know?
A cat?
Honey, you're so clever. That's what happened.
The vase was here. A mouse was on the table.
The cat saw the mouse. It jumped on the table to catch the mouse.
But the mouse jumped down.
And the cat knocked over the vase by mistake and broke it.
I see...
Is my conjecture sound?
Yes.
So you don't need to worry, Sis Mi.
Don't be so superstitious. Brother Zhe will be fine Trust me.
Are you sure?
Of course I'm sure.
Is that true, Sis Runzhi?
Honey says it's true. So it must be true.
Tied Together Fans.
Sis Yue'e, what's the matter?
The revenue for this month is worse than last month's.
You owe me an explanation.
It's just the difference of one fan.
Every penny counts. You must sell one more fan.
OK.
This is Tied Together Fans...Sis Damei.
You're here? Your new friend? I've never met her before.
Right. She saved my life a couple of days ago.
But she hit her head. She doesn't remember anything.
So Sis Runzhi asked her to stay with us for the time being.
Why are you still running around then? You should get more rest.
I'm bored. So I asked Xiaomei to take me out for a walk.
Please feel free to look around then.
OK.
Actually there's a very easy solution for all difficult cases.
Really?
What? Please tell us.
Go hang yourself at the wishing tree in Tian Ping Shan.
I see.
Who cares whether it works if one is dead?
Those who wanted to die will say it worked.
Madam.
Yes?
You seem to really like this fan.
Yes.
This is the highlight of our shop.
But we can sell it to you if you really like it.
But it's the highlight of your shop.
Don't listen to her.
If you like it, I can ask my husband to write on one for you.
Su Xiaomei.
Sis Damei, we'll go now. Let's go.
Goodbye.
Your younger sister ruined the deal.
I'll check the stock.
How are you today? Do you feel better?
My headache is less intense today.
That's great. You'll recover very soon.
OK.
Come over and take a look.
Wow, the deluxe box is so beautiful.
Right...
How much is it?
Fifty copper coins.
Can you give me a discount?
No bargaining.
Boss, how about forty copper coins?
This is already very cheap.
It's really beautiful. Fifty copper coins.
Give me a moment.
Here you go.
How come?
I told that woman that my friend really loves the box.
It's for keeping a token.
How did you know I wanted to put the ﬂower hairpin in it?
Your facial expression told me.
You smiled so sweetly while holding the box in your hands...
It's that obvious?
But the woman just now didn't seem that generous.
Actually I exchanged it with a piece of antique jade.
Antique jade? It must be very valuable then.
Perhaps it was very valuable before.
But I can't remember now. I just know you care for me most now.
If I can use something that was once important to me
to help someone who means a lot to me now,
it's absolutely worth it.
Thank you so much, Mrs. Who.
You must work hard to remember those who were nice to you before.
You mustn't give up.
I wish I could.
Let's go.
OK.
Let me put the ﬂower hairpin in the box now.
OK.
Where's the hairpin? It's not there?
Did you drop it when you made the bed?
I didn't.
Calm down. Let's look for it.
I must find it. It means a lot to me.
I'll help you look for it then.
I'm sure we'll find it. Don't worry.
It's so important. How could I forget where I put it?
I believe something can help.
What is it?
Blood spirit.
Blood spirit?
In my hometown, we'd ask the blood spirit to help us look for people and things.
Your hometown? You remember where you're from?
Oh, not yet. I mean sometimes I remember bits and pieces.
So the medicine is effective.
Let's ask the doctor to increase the dosage next time.
So how do we seek help from the blood spirit?
Prick your finger with a needle.
Say what you're looking for while you do that.
Then the blood spirit will guide us to it.
So I need to bleed.
It just hurts a bit. Are you afraid of doing that?
I'll prick my finger. You say what you're looking for.
Thank you.
Thank me after we find the hairpin. Are you ready?
Yes...I want to find the ﬂower hairpin...
It's there. We found it.
Is your hand OK?
It's just slightly twisted. We found it.
Thank you so much, Mrs. Who. You're really my savior.
It's OK as long as you're happy.
He often goes to the Walled City Slum.
Honey, you've found the mastermind?
Not yet. But the suspect is this guy Jagged Knife.
Let me see.
Someone filed a report saying he tried to sell the exam questions.
But the informant disappeared shortly afterwards.
Since there's no evidence or witnesses, he was released.
I think I need to go to the Walled City Slum to find him.
The name suggests that it's a dangerous place. It's the ghetto.
What if you get hurt there?
Honey, there are only three days left.
For Brother Zhe's sake, I must go no matter how dangerous a place it is.
But even the government won't send people in there.
You don't need to worry, alright?
Don't worry. I will protect Master Su even at the cost of my life.
Gao Gui, you don't need to make it sound so serious. You'll just scare her.
Honey, don't listen to him. I'll be fine.
You must take care.
OK. Don't worry.
Walled City Slum.
Stop hiding. You don't have a fierce look at all.
Sir, I'm just a servant. How can I look fierce?
You were bragging in front of Mrs. Su saying you would protect me.
I said that because you hinted me to.
I don't care. You're a crook now.
Play your role well or you won't get your pay this month.
OK. Now I look really fierce.
You don't need to be so dramatic. Be natural.
Look at me. Act with your eyes. Do you understand?
Stop.
It's really dangerous here. Why don't we get out of here?
Are you chicken? You go home then.
Guys, you two look like strangers here. Are you looking for someone?
Do you know where I can find Jagged Knife?
I don't know.
What about now?
You need to ask Blind Man Chen if you're looking for someone.
Where can I find Blind Man Chen then?
I don't know.
Go to Feng Shui House.
Blind Man Chen, do you know the person in the picture?
Put the paper away. I'm blind.
You're looking for someone, right? My bird can help.
Really? Birdie, please help me. I'm looking for Jagged Knife.
Wait You must pay first. Ten copper coins for a fortune stick.
That's not enough.
Of course.
Tell me where Jagged Knife is. Then I'll pay you the balance.
OK.
Well?
It says: Water means fortune.
Blind Man Chen, water means fortune.
Water is in the north. Go all the way north.
Wait. You're blind.
If we couldn't read, how would you know what the oracle says?
My bird tells me. It's the incarnation of Nezha.
I'll give you a refund if I'm wrong.
Water means fortune. Where do you find the greatest fortune?
A bank.
Not a bank? A casino then.
He's right. Ten copper coins please.
Here's the balance. Let's go. Thank you.
Thank you.
Casino.
Place your bets...
Sir, that guy has a scar. He must be Jagged Knife.
I see. But look. Everyone has a scar.
Check each and every of them against the picture. Come on.
Big...
What are you looking at?
Why did you bump into me?
Stop it.
Give me three days.
Or may name isn't Jagged Knife if I can't repay.
How much is your name worth? I must chop you up.
Stop! Are you really Jagged Knife?
Yes.
Money. Come on.
I'll repay it for him. Keep the change.
So someone is repaying for you. You should have told me.
Sir, he's trying to escape.
Hey. ..Stop.
Hey, stop.
Stop...
Don't move. You want to run away after I repaid your debt for you?
Thank you very much for repaying my debt for me just now.
When I have later on, I’ll repay double. See you later.
Don't move.
You make a living in the underworld. You should know what payback means.
I knew you wouldn't be so nice to repay for me without conditions.
Tell me what you want?
Do you want me to kill someone or set some place on fire?
I wouldn't do something that wicked.
What do you want then?
It's simple. I want you to tell me who sold you the exam questions.
Just that?
Just that.
Are we even if I tell you.
It's a promise.
Fine. It was Liu Shui.
Who's that?
His name is Liu Shui.
I just remember he's very wealthy. I don't know anything else.
Fine. Thank you. We won't meet again.
We won't meet again then. Goodbye.
Su Mansion.
That feels so good. Harder please.
Walled City Slum is really dangerous. I won't let you go there again.
Look at you now.
I'm just tired.
Seriously, I really wouldn't go there if I didn't have to for crack the case so quickly.
You think I'm stupid? Harder please.
Sir...
What have you got?
There are three people called Liu Shui in the capital. One is a one-month-old baby.
OK.
The other is a 90-year-old man. But he's bedridden.
They're not the one we're looking for. Tell me the third one.
The third is Princess Shouan's toy boy.
The princess' toy boy? Follow him. See if you can find out anything. Move.
Yes, sir.
Help...
What's the matter?
Help...
Who's calling for help?
Help...
Who's calling for help?
Sir, it's me. Chun Yue?
What are you doing here?
There's a rat in the room, sir.
A rat?
Oh, no. My documents.
Are they OK?
Come on. Let's see if they were damaged by the rat.
OK. Let's see.
Come on. Don't damage them.
The door is so secure. Even a rat can't get in.
It's safest to put them inside.
But if there's really a rat in the room,
it'll damage the documents if you take them out.
Why don't you put some rat poison or a mouse trap in here?
That's the most effective solution.
You're right.
Chun Yue, go buy some now.
Yes.
Honey, we're putting rat poison here later.
You better not stay here tonight. Sleep in the bedroom.
OK.
Su Mansion.
Mrs. Su, the brush washer in the study is broken.
I don't know who did it.
Broken again? Forget about it. Throw it away.
People say the early bird gets the worm. The early bird at home breaks our things.
Last night there was a rat in the study.
Could it be the cat that broke the vase earlier?
Maybe it tried to catch the rat again last night, and broke the brush washer by mistake.
That's possible.
Never mind. Everything important was locked in the cabinet.
The door is so secure. Even a rat can't get in, right?
Not really. Honey was worried.
In the end, he took everything important to our room.
Brother Dongpo cares about those things the most.
It's good to take precautions.
I think he's paranoid. Don't you think so?
We put a mouse trap and rat poison there last night.
The cabinet door is so secure.
But he still insisted on putting everything in his room.
Isn't he too careful or paranoid?
Brother Dongpo has been working on my husband's case.
It's normal for him to be careful and paranoid.
Perhaps. Recently I've been reading lots of medical books because of my condition.
There's an illness called sleep walking.
Some people walk around while they're asleep.
They don't remember what they've done. They don't know anything when they wake up.
So weird? But what has that got to do with Brother Dongpo?
I saw Officer Su walking around in the garden these past couple of nights.
What?
He's walking in his sleep?
That's how the medical books describe the condition.
It's caused by physical and mental fatigue and triggered by certain things.
Officer Su has been desperate to save his younger brother.
I wonder if that caused the illness.
The medical book also says the long-term effects can be serious.
If the pressure keeps building up,
it will affect blood circulation and cause paralysis in the end.
Oh, no. We must take him to the doctor.
He's been working on overturning the decision.
He may not agree to go to the doctor.
That's true.
Why don't we wake him up when he's walking in his sleep?
Then he'll know that he has this illness.
Then he'll have to deal with it.
But how will we know when he'll walk in his sleep?
I suspect he broke the vase yesterday and the brush washer today.
I couldn't sleep these past couple nights because the thunder was really loud.
Why didn't you come see me when there was thunder last night?
I didn't want to keep you from resting.
I'm trying to say that thunder and lightning could be the trigger.
But it's sunny today.
It doesn't seem like there will be lightning and thunder.
It's up to us to make it happen.
Master...
Brother Dongpo...
Master...
Brother Dongpo...
Master...
Why did you two hit me?
Why are you all here so late at night?
Hey, why am I in the sitting room?
You were walking in your sleep.
Sleepwalking?
You mean I broke the brush washer and dads favorite vase?
Yes.
I walk around when I'm asleep. I break things. But I don't realize it.
Yes.
When does it happen?
The medical book says there must be a cause.
Our observation shows that you sleepwalk whenever there's lightning and thunder.
But the weather is fine tonight. There was no lightning or thunder.
Why was I walking in my sleep again?
Chun Xue.
Yes, Mrs. Su.
Thunder...Lightning.
Who was so clever to come up with such an idea to test me?
We owe it to Mrs. Who.
She's read many medical books for her own condition.
She discovered that
the symptoms of sleepwalking match your recent behavior.
Actually Xiaomei was clever to come up with this idea.
Please forgive me for being nosy.
If you're not aware of your illness, you could put yourself in danger.
Of course. Thank you very much, Mrs. Who.
You're welcome.
You're letting me stay here. I'm just returning your favor.
You're welcome. You don't need to return my favor.
Honey, we finally figured out what happened.
Su Mansion.
What have you got after following Liu Shui for so long?
I've been following him all day. He left the princess' mansion by noon.
Then he went to tea and talked to other people about birds.
He went home in the evening.
I asked those who've been in contact with him.
They say he does this every day.
If he's really the mastermind, he should have made an obscene sum of money.
But he doesn't spend it. He's so patient.
Maybe he'll spend it later.
The princess has so many toy boys. Liu Shui is just one of them.
If he suddenly becomes a spendthrift, he'll draw people's attention.
True.
Sir, I checked his bank account too.
What have you got?
He doesn't even have 100,000 copper coins.
Not even 100,000 copper coins?
Right.
That's not surprising.
If he really did commit the crime,
he wouldn't put all the proceeds of crime in the bank.
Wouldn't he be afraid that people would check his account?
The case is being tried tomorrow.
The only solution now is to confront Liu Shui directly.
Sir, Liu Shui's there.
Sir, please don't kill me.
Sir, he's Liu Shui.
I want to ask you...
I want to ask you.
What? I'm asking him. And now you're asking me.
I'm asking you for money. Give me all your money.
Guys, I'm broke. Why don't you release me?
He's wearing nice clothes, and he's claiming to be broke?
We're dress like this. We're poorer than him.
Shut up or I'll kill you.
You're dressed so well. You must be rich. I want to search you...What's that?
You're the landlord of such a big house on Tianle Lane, and you say you're broke? Die...
Someone's coming. Run.
Stop...
Help...Help... Why have they all left?
Oh!
Your Majesty...
Officer Su, why are you so late? You missed my awesome posture.
I have something important to report.
What's so important?
I've found the real mastermind behind the exam questions leak.
Prime Minister Wang, didn't you arrest all the officials in the Ministry of Rites?
Isn't the case closed?
Your Majesty, I'm curious too.
Who's the real mastermind that Officer Su is talking about?
I love listening to stories about how cases are cracked. Tell me who it is.
The real mastermind is Princess Shouan.
Officer Su, I know you love your younger brother.
But you mustn't make up stories.
I have concrete evidence.
This is the tenancy agreement for a big house on Tianle Lane.
It's in the possession of the princess' toy boy Liu Shui.
I also found out that this guy Liu Shui
sold the exam questions to the crime syndicate.
So he's the offender. What has that got to do with the princess?
You must take a closer look at this tenancy agreement.
It's clearly written there that the princess is the owner of the house.
Liu Shui only collected the rent for her.
I also found out that the princess
bought this house under Liu Shui's name not long ago.
Given her allowance and the way she spends,
she can't afford 10 million copper coins to buy the house.
Perhaps the princess has been saving.
That's why she could afford 10 million copper coins to buy the house.
That's impossible.
The princess borrowed money from Prince Lu two months ago
because she was financially strapped.
So the 10 million copper coins is recent income.
Right. The Judiciary estimated that
the profit from selling the exam questions is around 10 million copper coins.
That matches the price of the house.
Therefore I think...
OK. I will punish the person involved. Arrest Su Dongpo.
