Sparrow
The failure of the arrest operation at Red Mill last time was because you leaked the information.
I only try to do things to point of maintaining a clear conscience.
In this world, there is a place that's darker than Hell.
So Li Xiaonan is Doctor. Since I know already, I can't just sit and wait for death.
Was is you who sold the information to Bi Zhongliang?
Help me look for Xu Bicheng. If it is a matter that will cause you your life, will you still help me?
What trick did you employ to be able to play these elite men of our central headquarters in the palm of your hands?
Episode 53
Oh, my, stupid cat. That scared me.
- Search well. - Haven't found anything in the drawer.
Don't miss anything. Look closely.
You, come here. Read this carefully.
Register them clearly.
Give that to me.
Erbao.
How is the search?
If once won't work, we'll do it twice. I don't believe that we won't find anything useful.
Continue searching.
- Continue searching! - Yes.
- Put that in. - Okay.
Take that away.
Three clothes. Look at it clearly. Register them.
This is how you search?
This... You didn't see that?
I didn't.
Wife!
Why did you come home at this hour?
Bought you some fruits and just delivering them to you.
Is the task done already?
I just called earlier. She said it's done.
I'm going now. I'm going now!
- Come home early this evening! - Okay.
Miss, miss, just want to ask something.
That...is Li Xiaonan inside working?
Xiaonan? I haven't seen her for a few days already.
Huh? Then do you know where she went?
Don't know. She has no scenes for these past days.
Maybe she's at home.
Then thank you. Can you tell me where she lives?
No. 69, Guofumen Road.
Thank you. Thank you.
You're welcome.
We're here.
Thank you.
What happened in here?
- A lady used to live here and I heard that she's a communist. - Really?
- Now she's been arrested by the Japanese, she surely won't live long. - That's right.
Sanxing... Xiaonan... where are you two?
You are?
- Are you Su Sanxing's older sister? - Correct.
I am Sanxing and Xiaonan's friend. Sanxing told me to fetch you.
Then...do you know where Sanxing is now?
He currently is doing everything to save Xiaonan so he told me to take you away first.
Is he doing okay?
He currently is still doing fine.
However, if you fall in the hands of the Japanese, he has to save you and save Xiaonan too. It will become more difficult.
That's why, hurry and come with me.
Okay.
Let's go.
Supervisor, from yesterday until today, the only person that Bi Zhongliang talked to is his wife.
And Chen Shen can only have interactions with his subordinate, Bian Tou.
Su Sanxing seemed to have fought with Ah Qiang.
He locked himself up in his room all day.
And also, our men have followed Bian Tou and Mrs. Bi all day
and didn't find anything strange. Should we continue following them?
No need.
If we want those people to show some weakness, we need to let them move around first.
Call Bi Zhongliang over.
Yes.
- Zhongliang. - Supervisor.
Come over here. Look at these stuff.
These were all taken from Li Xiaonan's house.
Don't know if we will be able to get clues from these.
You are the expert.
I am currently one of the suspects.
Isn't it a bit inappropriate to let me look at these evidences?
I am not treating you as a suspect right now.
What? Still hasn't stayed enough in the detention room?
Thank you for your trust. Thank you.
Actually among you three, you have the least suspicion.
But I can't say that.
Before catching the real Sparrow, logically speaking, all three of you are suspects.
What you said is right.
I just hope that we can find some clues withing these things,
and find sparrow.
Look.
Yes.
An experienced underground communist like Doctor
usually won't leave any evidence in her own house.
Unless it happened so suddenly that she wasn't able to transfer some stuff in time.
[068 Bank of Communications]
Bank of Communications? Hurry and ask men to investigate who rented this safe.
Wait a minute. Supervisor, I previously rented a safe box like that.
Banks will usually give their clients two keys.
Right now, one key is with us. Guess then where the other key is.
Li Xiaonan's accomplice.
If this safe is storing something very important and secretive,
Li Xiaonan will surely try her best to inform her accomplices
to immediately transfer these things.
That's why we should not alarm our enemies. Instead, we should wait for the prey to fall into our hands.
We need to wait for her accomplices to come and retrieve the stuff.
Division Chief Bi is indeed very outstanding. So impressive.
Send men to wait by the bank. If anyone comes to claim the things in here,
make sure to catch both the person and the items.
Yes!
- Old Bi. - Yes.
You are the expert.
That is too high of a praise, Supervisor.
If you are asked to investigate Chen Shen
and Su Sanxing, where will you start?
Give them time and space to each be with Li Xiaonan alone.
Maybe we might get some new secrets.
It's done, Boss.
Thank you, bro.
No need for thanks. What will we do next?
We must let Li Xiaonan know what we will do.
Yo...that would be hard.
Right now, even her meals are delivered by the Japanese.
Our men can't even enter the prison.
Hello.
Supervisor Li.
Okay, I'll be there right away.
Supervisor Li is looking for you?
Our chance has come.
- Supervisor. - Chen Shen, come. Let's talk while sitting down.
You must have been thinking the whole day already.
How much do you really know about Li Xiaonan
and how much did you help her hide? Have you already thought about it?
Supervisor, although I am not skilled enough to do great achievements,
I will never live off one person while secretly helping another.
Then how about this? Let's first listen to your Casanova stories.
I heard that you proposed to that Li Xiaonan in front of everyone.
Do you really like her?
Li Xiaonan also said that you have an unclear relationship with Xu Bicheng. Is that true?
Supervisor, you want to hear the truth?
Of course the truth.
When has there been no schemes and fights between women?
If an old flame and a new love gather together, there surely will be big trouble.
Especially between two female special agents. I thought I would be able to handle it,
but in the end, I almost got played to death by these two women.
Mr. Barber,
you are saying that this Li Xiaonan has used you.
Then did you ever have any real feelings towards her?
Before, I thought I would have at least a bit.
But right now, I don't know.
How about this? I'll give you a chance. Go and test her.
If she still has any real feelings towards you,
you should know clearly where your loyalty should lie.
I understand.
I also have one more question to ask you.
Do you feel that Su Sanxing might be Sparrow?
Without any hard evidence at hand,
I feel that we must not fall into Li Xiaonan's trap.
Don't let a person that shouldn't die be the scapegoat.
The past events vividly reappear in his eyes.
Until now, Chen Shen can't believe
that loud and careless lady Li Xiaonan is actually his superior.
Even though he never loved her,
the current Chen Shen felt an uncontrollable pain in his heart.
He suddenly understood
that he has long treated this seemingly heartless lady
as his most trusted confidante, his closest family.
That's right. If you didn't say it, I would have already forgotten about it.
Where is the birthday gift that you previously promised to give me?
Give it to me.
Help me do an act.
What you mean is to let me rebel with you and kill Japanese?
Good thing, Chen Shen was taking care of me all night.
He sent me home amidst the heavy rain and never left my side.
Only after I urged him upon waking up did he agree to go to the hospital.
It seems to be that day when you proposed to me.
The day of the proposal...last month.
Right. It was during Liu Meina's birthday.
No need to talk about taking risks.
Don't forget. I am a movie queen. If we don't give it a try, how can we know?
For those innocent citizens, what's with suffering some pain?
Come here and sit.
Did they send you here as the spearhead?
Such beautiful hands should wear bracelets and not handcuffs.
There is a listening device installed.
Actually, I never thought that
the person who will arrest me will be you.
Since you started getting close to me, you should have readied yourself for the worst possible outcome.
That's right. It just that I never thought
that it would come so soon.
I already hid a key to a safe in Bank of Communications at Su Sanxing's house
and a Yusi magazine.
There is a message hidden in the magazine that will only appear after heating.
You must find a way to let Su Sanxing go to the bank and open the safe.
The two of you have exchanges of information.
You must let the Japanese believe that Su Sanxing is Sparrow.
Actually, I want to know if you have always been acting to me.
Actually, since the day you handcuffed me,
I really hoped that we can be handcuffed together forever.
Not separating forever.
We can be together.
As long as you tell me who Sparrow is.
Don't you hate me for using you?
Aside from politics, you most likely can't bear to lie to me.
I lied to you for so long.
Would you still believe me?
I am a little scared.
But Old Bi is also afraid of his wife. Aren't the two of them living well now?
Actually, I want to ask you...
did you ever love me?
On the day you get out of here, we will immediately marry.
I guarantee that if it got delayed by even a minute, I am not called Chen Shen.
Thank you, Chen Shen.
I love you...
but I love my faith more.
Old Bi, this subordinate of yours is like you. Both are hopeless romantics.
But towards the wrong person.
Do you find anything suspicious with Chen Shen's words?
This time, there wasn't any lapses...
but it doesn't mean that there won't be anything next time.
We still have to continue doing our job.
Okay. Then let's hear what Su Sanxing will say.
Okay.
[Meeting Room]
Supervisor Li, I feel that there is no need to continue investigating this matter anymore.
Chen Shen has the closest relationship with Li Xiaonan.
Chen Shen and Li Xiaonan have always been helping Xu Bicheng.
When we were trying to find the source of the telegraph at Qiufengdu,
it was Li Xiaonan who stood out to prove that Chen Shen got shot at Changlong Restaurant.
Then who was the man at Qiufengdu who got shot but escaped?
Also, I saw the necklace that Xu Bicheng dropped at Qiufengdu.
It was Li Xiaonan again who stood out and said
that she borrowed Xu Bicheng's necklace. Who then knew
that Xu Bicheng and Li Xiaonan have identical necklaces?
Supervisor, right now, Li Xiaonan's identity has been confirmed.
Then all the testimonies she gave before can't be trusted.
Chen Shen must be an accomplice of both Li Xiaonan and Xu Bicheng.
Zhongliang, what do you think about that?
His deductions were a bit logical.
But just basing on these deductions and then saying that Chen Shen is their accomplice is too dogmatic.
And also, the Changlong Restaurant incident might be a distraction scheme of Li Xiaonan
to lure Chen Shen over there so that Xu Bicheng can send out the message.
Division Chief, you are only absolving your own man's responsibility.
Then, what are you saying? That Chen Shen is Sparrow?
Yes.
If one of us three is Sparrow,
it is surely Chen Shen.
Before, I asked Chen Shen
if you are possibly Sparrow. Do you know what he said?
What did he say?
He said, "don't fall into Li Xiaonan's trap. Don't push the blame to somebody who doesn't deserve to die."
He finally allowed his conscience to speak.
Sanxing, I know that you are an interrogation expert.
How about I give you a chance
to try and get some words out of Li Xiaonan?
I am willing to try it.
[Listening device]
I still am unable to believe that you are Doctor.
Thank you.
For what?
Although you are not a good man in my eyes,
you are the only one
who has sincerely treated me well.
At the face of her death, Li Xiaonan
is still trying to seduce him.
Yes. Guess if Su Sanxing will fall for her trap.
Who is it?
Me, Secretary Sun.
You continue listening. I will return to Central Headquarters first.
Okay.
If you had the chance to choose again, would you choose me?
Is there another chance?
Yes,
if you point out who Sparrow is.
Chen Shen is Sparrow, right?
If you can point out Chen Shen as Sparrow,
you can regain freedom.
At that time, we can be together.
If I really do that,
will you be willing to abandon your fortune and leave with me?
If you point out Chen Shen as Sparrow,
I am willing. I will be willing to do anything.
Even if I can't leave this place, I am glad to hear you say that.
Tomorrow, I will tell Kagesa
that you never had any ties with the communists, and that you are not Sparrow.
Miss Li, stop beating around the bush with me.
Tell me if Chen Shen is Sparrow.
I want to give you something.
I placed it in a safe at Bank of Communications.
The key is in your house.
These years in Shanghai,
out of all the people, you and Sister Cuilan have treated me the best.
No matter if I will live or die,
I will leave those objects to you as mementos.
Fine, then.
You can personally tell Kagesa who Sparrow is.
So crafty.
Did they guess that we are listening in on them?
Maybe we can't find anything just by listening,
but if either Chen Shen or Su Sanxing
is Sparrow,
I believe that in this conversation,
they have already transmitted some secrets to each other.
That is very possible. Division Chief, what do we do now?
Release them.
Let's see who is the one that can fly.
Should you report it to Supervisor Li first?
I will tell Supervisor Li.
Edit this recording of Su Sanxing and Li Xiaonan's conversation.
Record it into a separate disk.
Make it sound like Su Sanxing is very possibly Sparrow.
I understand, Division Chief.
Supervisor Li, I want to temporarily release Chen Shen and Su Sanxing from confinement
because we need to give them opportunities so that we can find
who truly can fly.
Yes, Supervisor Li.
[Team 1 Leader Office]
Boss, you are released from confinement.
Then... Will you go visit Ms. Xu?
Old Bi is waiting for me to charge towards my death. I can't go anywhere today.
- Hello? - Old Bi, I want to eat Nanny Liu's fish.
It's the middle of the night. How would we know if there is fish available for you to eat?
Don't you have to go home?
I don't want to live in the division tonight. I miss Sister-in-law.
Fine. Come home with me tonight then.
I'll let your sister-in-law prepare the guest room.
Boss, what else is needed? I'll go do them.
Nothing. Go home and be with your wife.
- Sure. - Hey, thank Zhu Zhu for me.
No need. That's my wife.
She's also your little sister, right? No need to thank.
Going now.
Sister...
Sister!
Sister... Sister...
Where did she go?
I have some things that I want to give you.
I placed those things in a safe at Bank of Communications.
I already placed the key in your house.
[Yusi magazine]
[068 Bank of Communications]
How can there be no fish?
I know that our Chen Shen loves to eat the fish dish of Nanny Liu. Isn't it?
I then asked Nanny Liu raise some in an aquarium,
so that whenever Chen Shen comes, he'll get to have fresh fish to eat.
I finally noticed it. You treat him way better than me!
- Jealous? - Yes.
Then hurry and let Chen Shen and Xiaonan get marry.
If he has a wife taking care of him, I don't need to mind him anymore.
I'll then just focus on you. Right?
But Chen Shen, didn't I tell you to bring Xiaonan to eat dinner here?
Why hasn't she come?
Later, tell her that I bought some fabrics for her.
When those fabrics are turned into cheongsams, they surely will be very pretty.
Leave them to be worn during your wedding, how about it?
If I get married, sister-in-law won't mind me anymore?
What are you saying?!
How can I not mind you? I surely still will, okay?
I not only will care for you, I also will take care of those little children that you and Xioanan will have. Okay?
I'll care for them all.
What's wrong? Was it the fish bone?
Nanny Liu! Nanny Liu!
Hurry and pour Chen Shen some vinegar. He's choking on the fish bone.
Okay. Okay.
- I'll go out to check on it. - Hurry and go.
Oh, my, the bones of this fish...
I thought that you and her were just playing around.
I thought so too.
I never thought that you really had fallen for her.
No matter if she really did use me, she indeed treated me well.
Don't think of doing some stupid things.
You will not help me save her. I know.
Of course, I won't. I surely can't help you with that.
Even if I risk yours, mine, and even your sister-in-law's life, we still won't be able to save her.
You think that Kagesa and Li Moqun are incompetent?
Okay.
Hurry and come in. Don't let your sister-in-law notice anything.
Sister, just temporarily stay here for the next two days.
Try to not go out.
- Okay. - Once the danger has passed,
Sanxing will bring Xiaonan to find you.
Miss, I still don't know your name.
My surname is Chen.
Ms. Chen, they all say that Xiaonan is an underground communist. Is this true?
I also just heard about it. I still don't know.
Sanxing will surely save Xiaonan.
Our Sanxing isn't a traitor.
Sister, don't casually say such words outside.
I won't say them...
It's already late. Have a rest.
I'll visit you again tomorrow.
If you need anything or need help,
just tell me.
I'll go now.
- The person is already inside? - Right.
Keep watch of her. Don't touch her for now.
What plan do you have?
Not only will I to use her to deal with Su Sanxing, I will use her to save someone.
Save who?
Do you still remember that lady who alerted you while at the train station last time?
I don't know who you are but someone asked me to inform you that there is an ambush.
There. He must be caught alive.
- I remember. - Her real identity is a communist.
She is currently arrested by the Special Agents Central Headquarters.
- You are going to save her? - Right.
Su Sanxing didn't sleep all night.
Su Cuilan going missing is putting him out of his wits.
But having no traces of forced entry in his house makes his heart settled a bit.
He is thinking that maybe Su Cuilan just went in hiding because she can't find him.
But she doesn't have any friends or relatives in Shanghai. Where then can she hide?
And this key...Su Sanxing doesn't know
when Li Xiaonan placed it in his drawer.
Was it during the last time she came to his house?
What really did she leave inside this?
Could this be a trap?
In the end, he decided to take a look
at what really is inside that safe.
He is willing to believe that this is the last tender sentiment that Li Xiaonan is giving him.
