Sparrow
Here's the new password.
I feel like Old Bi isn't so easily defeated.
We just intercepted the Nationalist spy Rehmannia's transmission signal
We'll know who the mole is very soon.
Last night, a mole was up to something in the Qiufengdu Shikumen neighborhood.
There were at least two people
who just escaped from our perimeter.
One of them is probably injured.
How did you come back here?
Then I should thank you, Miss Xu. No-
I should call you Rehmannia.

When we get out of here, let's get started on having the first baby within a year.
Do you want the first child to be a daughter or a son?
I want a daughter.
Then we'll have a daughter.
We'll have a daughter who's as pretty as you are.
Okay.
After I left, did you go out again?
You didn't get rained on, did you? Where did you go?
Director, they didn't discover the listening device, did they?
Go to the Qiufengdu neighborhood, find out what Su Sanxing has discovered there.
- Okay. - Also-
As soon as Chen Shen gets back from Jiading, have him come see me immediately.
Okay.
Once you said that, I was mad.
While I was mad, I ran to the train station.
I thought I might as well buy a ticket
to Nanjing to see my aunt. So I wouldn't have to see you at home and get angrier.
And then at the train station, I ran into Su Sanxing.
He unceremoniously dragged me here to the department.
He said, they were catching the mole.
And then what?
[writing] "Bi Zhongliang"
And then,
I saw Bi Zhongliang standing downstairs waiting for me.
He said I was some Rome... Rome Mania?
What was that?
I understand.
That Bi Zhongliang wanted Kagesa to lock him up on purpose, as an act for the mole to see.
I don't care who he was acting for.
Anyway, I told him,
I just said, I'd wait for uncle to get back before I said anything.
[writing] "Shen"
[writing] "safe"
Okay, okay. Don't be mad anymore, okay?
This had better not happen again.
I'm saying, don't be mad at the Director.
You should know, I've never held a grudge.
Search every single house, no exceptions. Go!
Yes, sir.
Go!
- Go over there. - Yes, sir.
Go back and tell the Director that we already found the telegraph.
Yes, sir.
Su Sanxing sent a man to report.
They found the transmission site. The telegraph was still there.
But aside from that, there isn't any new evidence.
Keep looking.
Director, actually this clearly shows that Tang Shanhai did it.
The day that the "Return to Zero" plans went missing, Tang Shanhai's house phone line kept being busy.
Tonight, he wasn't at home again. His wife, Xu Bicheng, wasn't at home, either.
What does that mean? Clearly she was covering for him.
These two people, when their ability to make their stories match starts flowing, if we don't have irrefutable evidence,
once Li Moqun starts backing them up, it will be very hard to move them.
Why don't we just torture them, and take advantage of this time before Li Moqun gets back to act?
Kagesa sent so many military police to help me.
If I have to rely on torture to have something to report to him,
when Li Moqun gets back, he'll accuse me of being the mole.
But if we can get irrefutable evidence,
not only can we report it to Kagesa, Li Moqun can never lift his head in public again.
Smart!
Director, you're really the smartest!
This is false intelligence, I'm telling you!
- Shut up. - You're the one luring all the troops away from the action. - Who lured all the troops away?
- You did! - Supervisor Li agreed with the order.
Oh, you're going to threaten me with Supervisor Li? I'm so scared.
Secretary Qian and them are back.
You'd better not be name-dropping Chief Dai.
- Tell them to come in. - That's not something you can say, you know? - Yes, sir.
You're always name-dropping Chief Dai, I've had enough!
Chief Dai? Over the last two days, you haven't been able to catch Sparrow or Rehmannia,
and you're going to bring up Chief Dai? Your boss might as well go to Service Office Mei with his bird of a feather, to eat some prison food.
What did you say?! Say it again!
D-D-Director.
How'd you g-g-get back here?
Secretary Qian brought up a "bird of a feather", you were referring to me, right?
Oh, no.
He was talking about you. Erbao, you heard it too, right?
Secretary Qian has been so arrogant these last two days, kissing up to Supervisor Li all day.
He even said you were going to get the firing squad.
You shut up!
Director, don't listen to him.
I've been with you for so long, you know best what kind of person I am, right?
He- he-
Why haven't I seen Chen Shen yet?
Our boss started out saying he was going to go with us to Jiading,
but halfway there he said he had business,
so he left by himself.
He hasn't come back yet?
How many suspects were there at the scene in Qiufengdu?
According to Team Leader Segu and Su Sanxing, there were three suspects,
the split into two groups to run away.
Hello?
Oh, General Kagesa.
Okay, please wait.
Yes, General Kagesa, this is Bi Zhongliang.
The Director is so capable! He went to Special Office Mei and came back so quickly.
You really think the Director was imprisoned by General Kagesa?
Then- what else? Everyone saw it.
You'd better be praying that Chen Shen has nothing to do with the "Return to Zero" plan.
Otherwise,
you understand.
Liu Erbao. What do you mean by that?
Yes.
General Kagesa, you already know that three suspects fled from the scene of the crime.
Of your operations team members, who's still missing?
The main suspects Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng have already been found.
Who haven't you found yet?
Our boss started out saying he was going with us to Jiading, but halfway there he said he had business.
So he left by himself.
Chen Shen.
I know that you and Chen Shen are very close.
But I think you know now what you have to do.
- I do. - Notify Segu. Set out immediately and search the whole city for Chen Shen.
Yes, sir.
Bian Tou!
Yes? Go right away to Mee Koo May, Huamao Restaurant, the casino, anywhere Chen Shen might have gone.
As soon as you see him, tell him to come back right away to see me.
Yes, sir.
D-d-d-director. Is there anything I can do?
Stay here and wait for Supervisor Li to return.
Come with me to the Qiufengdu crime scene.
Director.
This is one of our guns.
Director.
What do you think?
There are very few traces of fighting at the scene, I reckon it was done by someone they knew.
The first one didn't have time to respond before being killed.
The second probably tried to shoot his gun but the gun was knocked out of his hand by someone,
and then he was choked to death.
From the second victim's height,
if he could be pressed up against the wall like that,
then the attacker must have been at least as tall as Chen Shen or Tang Shanhai.
Aside from this, is there any evidence as to who did this?
Even though we found the telegraph,
regretfully, there wasn't a single fingerprint at the crime scene.
They were meticulous.
Go to the second location and take a look.
I reckon the first gunshot we heard was from this Japanese soldier's gun.
But he died before he even started fighting.
This dagger.
I think the person who used this dagger can only have been
the person who helped them before.
Reporting to the Director. We found traces of blood ahead.
It should be from the attacker who fled the scene and got shot.
Please.
Director.
Here.
The blood traces are pretty far away from the victims. It must have been left by the attacker.
The bullet must have gone through his body
and then hit this mailbox.

Director,
two people escaped on this street.
All of our men on this route died from knife wounds,
but the man who escaped on his own on the other route
used a gun.
You two, and you, go off to the side.
Yes sir.
So you think the two people who sent the telegraph tonight were Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng.
And when they were escaping, Chen Shen came to help them.
So Chen Shen took Xu Bicheng down one route and escaped.
Because he can't use a gun, so he used a knife.
And the person who escaped from the other route was Tang Shanhai, right?
The Director is wise.
And right now, I'm very suspicious that Chen Shen and Xu Bicheng
were both hiding at the train station.
Now you just need to find out
whether Tang Shanhai or Chen Shen has a gunshot wound,
and they'll definitely be unable to get away with it.
Stay here, investigate from every angle.
Yes sir.
- Erbao. - Director.
Come back to the department with me. Have Doctor Bao check everyone for wounds.
Yes sir.
Immediately go look for evidence in all the places connected to them.
Yes sir.
We've already looked in all the places we can.
It's already very late now, and all the brothers are tired.
How about we come back and look when the sun comes up?
Zhen Shu,
do you know why I never liked you?
Because you're obviously just a coward, and yet you
always end up leaning over my head.
The thing you've got to understand right now is,
I'm the one who's in charge now.
Chen Shen. Chen Shen!
Chen Shen?
Chen Shen!
You're awake?
Chen Shen!
How are you doing? How's your injury?
At 10:55pm, send me to the hospital.
I thought you said you couldn't go to the hospital?
We can go in a little bit.
Hello?
Brother Shen, I took care of that stuff you asked me to do.
Changlong Restaurant's boss already promised to stay another month and run the business,
and the staff will all resign tomorrow night. All the arrangements have been made as you said.
Good job.
Let's go.
You mean, you want me to come join the revolution with you, and kill the Japanese?
How's someone who faints at the sight of blood going to join the revolution?
You can't even use a gun, but you're in the revolution. Why can't I?
Besides, killing someone doesn't mean you have to look at blood.
Tell me, what do you want me to do?
Act.
I already searched Mee Koo May and Huamao Restaurant, none of them have seen our boss.
I even called Secretary Sun and your wife, there aren't any mahjong games tonight.
I really don't know where our boss went.
Why didn't he go to Jiading? Tell me everything he said again.
We drove halfway and he told me to stop the car, said there was something more important he had to do.
- He told me to tell Secretary Qian- - Something more important to do?
Yeah, he said it like that.
Where did he get off the car? Were you out of the city yet?
Not yet. We hadn't been driving long before he got off.
- Keep looking. If you don't find him, you don't come back either. - Yes, sir!
Director, if Rehmannia is really Chen Shen,
Team Leader Segu wants Chen Shen's photograph so the Japanese soldiers can recognize him.
- I'll bring it to them later. - Yes, sir.
Go search in all of the hospitals and clinics.
Understood. If Chen Shen was injured, he'd definitely go to a hospital.
We have to find him before the Japanese do.
Yes, sir.
Pay attention, look carefully.
Guo.
Team Leader Zhen.
What's going on? Did you find something?
Still haven't found any suspicious traces.
Keep looking. Everyone come with me over there to look.
- I didn't finish writing. - Me too.
It's been so long already and there's still no news. What should we do? I'm getting nervous.
- Were you able to sleep? - Didn't sleep at all.
Men in a line, women in a line. Everyone will be checked for injuries.
Please, everyone. Prepare yourselves.
Thank you.
- Are you injured? - No.
- Bicheng, you're not injured, are you? - No.
[writing] "Shen"
Why are they checking for injuries?
I heard people on Su Sanxing's team say,
the mole who got away at Qifengdu seems to have gotten a gunshot injury.
I heard anyone they can't find could be the mole, and right now our boss hasn't come back yet.
- Do you think it could be our boss? - What nonsense is that?
How could our boss be a mole?
I'm guessing it's someone else in the department who went to catch the escaped criminals.
I think so too.
Old Bi!
I also think the Communist's Sparrow is in our department.
Tang Shanhai told me that you're the Communist's Sparrow.
You little rascal, I think it's you.
Me?
If there's a talented person who I can't use,
then he's a trusted aide who's dangerous to me.
I have to go back and think it over.
If I sell you out, how much money would I get?
General Kagesa, forgive me for speaking honestly. Responsibility for the theft of the intelligence report
naturally belongs to Old Bi, but give him a chance to recover it.
When all of the evidence points to Chen Shen,
the person whose heart and head were most at odds turned out to be Bi Zhongliang.
Even if he desperately hoped to ferret out the mole,
the last person he wanted the mole to be was Chen Shen.
Checking bodies.
Hurry, take it off. Checking bodies. Don't dilly-dally.
Tang Shanhai's return actually made Xu Bicheng feel gratified and sigh deeply.
But she didn't know when she had lost the necklace that was like a ticking time-bomb,
that would cause her and Tang Shanhai to die the cruelest deaths.
At the moment, the person Xu Bicheng was most worried about was still Chen Shen.
If only he was safe and sound, she hoped he would just leave and never come back.
Alright, alright.
You're done.
Team Leader Tang, it's just a formality. Please accommodate us, okay?
No problem.
Did you hear any gunshot earlier or see anyone running past?
No.
Go inside and look.
You really didn't hear anything? Think about it carefully.
I really didn't hear anything.
Think about it clearly.
Let's go.
What's going on?
Nothing.
[Japanese] Find him for me!
[Japanese] Yes sir!
Brother Shen, just bear with it for a bit, it's almost done.
Doctor, you're already a chief. Your stitching should be very good, right?
Can you make his stitches prettier?
It would be best if you could sew a "Li" on it.
That way, in the future, he'll belong to the Li house.
Brother Shen, is she your fiancee?
Team Leader Chen, it looks like the two of you will be getting married soon.
Why are you here?
Team Leader Chen, I thought I'd find you here.
What's going on?
The director has been waiting a long time for you.
Where's Old Bi?
Team Leader Chen, you'd better come back with me to the operations headquarters first.
If Special Office Mei people find you first, I'm afraid you'll die a worse death.
And right now, I'm very suspicious that Chen Shen and Xu Bicheng
were hiding in the train station.
Now you just need to see whether
Tang Shanhai or Chen Shen has a bullet wound on their body,
and they won't be able to get away with it.
Oh, it turned out to be Team Leader Chen.
Can you guess, if the Director knew you were the mole,
would he be happy? Or sad?
I'm afraid you're the one who'll be sad.
- So tired. - That's right. It seems to be real.
- It's the middle of the night. - Don't they want to go home yet? - Dragging it to this late.
What's going on? Are we still going to work tomorrow?
It's so late already. We still have to wake early tomorrow. That's right.
If you're sleepy, then sleep.
I'm not sleepy.
He's back?
Let's go look.
Come on, let's go look.
- Let's go. What's going on?
- Who? - What's going on? - Don't know.
Boss, where'd you run off to? Oh my god,
something big happened at the department, did you know? Why didn't you say anything to me?
You're back.
You're back too.
Let's talk inside.
How did the boss get injured?
How could it be him? Is it really him?
- What are you saying? Huh? - Bian Tou.
Be careful!
Does your mouth have a gatekeeper or what?
Where did you go last night?
Why didn't you tell me the truth?
Answer my question.
You keep saying I'm your most trusted brother,
but Liu Erbao and Su Sanxing both knew you were working with Kagesa
to act out that ruse.
But I was kept in the dark.
Why?
To prove it.
To prove if you were my most trustworthy person.
I was running around the whole city trying to rescue you,
but you weren't even going to tell me the truth.
Bi Zhongliang
I really have no words for this.
I really shouldn't be playing with you.
I should go be a barber.
I'm telling you,
I'm not doing this anymore.
Stand still.
Tell me clearly, how did you get injured, and where did you get injured?
Let go.
I schemed incessantly to plan this act,
just to draw the snake out of its lair.
You didn't come back all night, and today you come back with an injury.
If you can't explain how you had nothing to do with what happened in Qiufengdu,
then don't even think about leaving here.
In order to give a report to the Japanese,
you're willing to give them your best friend.
Don't force me to, Chen Shen.
If I can't find the mole, both of us will die.
He must have known a hospital would be the most dangerous place.
Since he came back, he must have a way out.
I'll tell you one last time.
I'm not the mole.
Bring him to the judgment room.
Yes, sir. Team Leader Chen, come this way.
Wait!
Director!
Did you get the wrong man?
Shanhai, are you going to speak up for Chen Shen?
I'm not going to plead for anyone.
But in this department, knowing how close he is with the Director,
if even he has a problem, then there's no one that can be trusted.
That's right, Director. Our boss is loyal to you.
If he's a mole, I'll cut my head off for you to use as a stool!
That's right!
I only trust what I can see.
Wrong. What you see might not be the truth.
It's what other people want you to see.
Zhongliang.
- Lanzhi? - Zhongliang!
Lanzhi, why are you here?
Xiaonan told me you were back, I didn't dare to believe it.
The Japanese let you out?
Are you injured?
- Did they hurt you? - I'm fine.
Don't I look fine? Don't worry.
As long as you're back, everything's fine.
You came back but didn't say anything to me?
Do you know I was worried to death at home?
Okay, I know, I know. It's okay now.
Director Bi only cares about work, he doesn't care about friends or family.
In order to save him, Chen Shen spent all night trying to catch the mole, and he almost lost his own life.
He's fine, but he didn't even ask anything, just comes up and arrests people.
Chen Shen is injured?
Yeah.
What are you doing? Tell me!
I asked him, but he didn't say anything to me.
I could only send him to the judgment room.
What do you want him to say? Huh?
What's he supposed to say? For you, he's been running around working himself to death,
and look at him. Now he's been injured because of you.
What's he supposed to say to you?
As soon as you come back you arrest him to interrogate as a spy?
If it was me, I wouldn't be able to say anything either!
Okay, let's talk inside, alright?
Huh?
Let's go.
Get in here.
What are you looking at? Don't you have work to do?
What does their fight have to do with you? Go back.
Okay, we're going back. Let's go for a walk.
They've got nothing better to do? Standing here staring.
You were too impulsive earlier.
Sorry.
He's smarter than we thought. You have to be careful of him.
During examinations,
- you must be meticulous. - Don't know.
What's wrong?
Then you're saying the real Rehmannia
was meeting at Jixiang Street's Changlong Restaurant tonight.
Right. I got the news this afternoon.
And then, someone gave me this.
Rehmannia and the Nationalist Shanghai District's new district governor's meeting will take place at
Jixiang Street, Changlong Restaurant.
The Jiading intelligence is a smokescreen.
Put it away carefully.
Where did the intelligence come from?
When I was at Whampoa Batch 16, I had a colleague named Xi Tongqing.
Today he happened to pass through Shanghai. He said it was a gift he wanted to give me.
And then I discovered this.
