[Lion Pride] [Episode 12]
- Recap - Should I help you tell her that you're a murderer's son?
Xiao Tie and Side are suited for each other.
Why is it Guan Jingjing again?
They seem more like soulmates.
He can't help thinking about Guan Jingjing's puzzle.
Why is Qiangda still thinking about Guan Jingjing's case?
The two of them seem more like soulmates (than us).
Even though Guan Jingjing isn't here,
but losing to a person that isn't here is very embarrassing.
This sucks!
What's wrong?
The wind is too strong.
Look. It made my hair messy.
The wind?
But Teacher Wang,
you're setting a poor example by playing on your phone as you walk.
But why are you so concerned about Guan Jingjing's puzzle?
You can go home and investigate it. We are on a date right now.
Because this time, she really
- didn't leave enough evidence. - You can discuss it with me!
You?
What kind of attitude is that?
Do you think I'm dumb?
- You think I'm not as smart as Guan Jingjing? - No, I don't.
I didn't.
Okay. Then tell me,
why would she leave 100%?
Guan Jingjing knows I'm very sensitive to numbers--
Who wants to discuss another girl with you?
Strange.
Is Qiangwei mad?
She probably is mad.
But I don't know why she is mad.
So she got mad more.
This is probably the first time she has gotten mad at me.
That's right.
This won't do. I have to fix things.
Are you
hungry? Do you want to eat a late night snack?
Teacher Qiangwei,
I'm someone who learns from mistakes,
but
I don't know what I did wrong.
So I don't know how to change.
I'm sorry about today.
Are you still mad?
I'm not mad.
Who told me to like you so much,
Master Meow.
Liking someone surpasses all reason.
I knew you would use hunger as an excuse.
But I'm really hungry.
Did you cook this for me?
Of course.
Thank you.
Is it good?
You are good at cooking.
Do you want to have a bite?
Then you can't think about Guan Jingjing.
Okay.
But from the start, I never thought about her.
Really?
Excuse me, sir.
Can I ask you another question?
I'm declaring this here.
I, Lian Zhongyan, have not done anything illegal.
If anyone can prove
that I was involved in these matters, I will withdraw from the election.
- I would never do anything against the law. - Zhan Dingzxuan's asking for you.
This is simply my competitor trying to discredit me
and starting rumors to ruin my campaign.
- I— - Mr. Lian.
Please come in.
Who is it?
You...
You are, that day, the person who fought with Qiangda.
Wang Qiangwei.
How do you know my name and where I live?
I'm sorry.
I don't mean any harm.
Can you give me a few minutes to talk with you?
Side.
If you don't like being at home, I can prepare something else.
Instead, you ran over to the prosecutor's office.
Dad, I saw the news.
Factory Manager Luo and Hu Yaohui were both following your orders.
Now that there's a problem, why are you completely separating yourself from the situation?
You don't seem to have any inclination of admitting your involvement.
I already said it has nothing to do with me.
What am I going to admit to?
Are you really going to become enemies with your father?
Mr. Lian, if we didn't have direct evidence,
we wouldn't be here requesting to speak with you.
I'm not trying to become your enemy, Dad.
When Mom was alive, she would always let you get your way. She didn't want to oppose you.
Do you know she was scared and worried everyday at home?
Dad, can you please admit to what you did? It's not too late.
If you're not in the election, then you're not in it.
Isn't the most important thing that we're both at peace?
Just confess to what you've done.
Dad.
Mr. Lian,
family is the most important thing.
It's too late.
Since you already made a choice to go against me,
then I will act like your not my daughter.
Dad.
Prosecutor,
let's proceed according to the law.
Please.
Qiangwei.
Who is it?
Qiangwei.
Are you okay? What are you up to?
- Zhan Dingxuan! - Don't chase him!
Stop getting hurt.
Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
Why is he here?
He wanted to speak to me.
Have you told her?
If you're so sure, why don't you have the guts to tell her about it?
It's not that I lack the guts. I just don't think it's necessary.
Should I help you tell her then?
Don't listen to him, okay?
What he's saying isn't true.
Trust me.
Why is Qiangda so scared?
In the past, I didn't fear any of the consequences,
but my biggest fear now
is losing you.
Please stay by my side.
What's wrong?
I will quickly find the truth.
Wait for me.
Mr. Lian came out.
- Mr. Lian - Please keep your distance. Thank you.
I completely cooperated with the prosecutor's investigation.
The fact of the matter is that there's no evidence
that suggests that I've done anything illegal.
This is my daughter, a friend of the prosecutor's.
She came to cooperate with the investigation as well.
That is boss's daughter?
Prosecutor, is what Mr. Lian saying correct? Can you share any details about the case?
The investigation is confidential.
I'd like to remind Mr. Lian Zhongyan
not to release any information about the investigation.
Thank you.
Catching me is not that easy.
Xiao Zhan.
A'Bin! Stop the car in the front.
Watch out!
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
Be careful.
Hey!
There's a car.
Thank you.
So you were talking about this library?
Why are you here?
I happened to be passing by.
Happened to pass by?
It's this library.
Didn't someone say they didn't want to be involved in anything related to Guan Jingjing?
I don't want to know about her,
but I have to care about your things.
Brother Qiangda!
Sister Qiangwei! What are you two doing here?
- Xiao Qian? - What are you doing here?
Don't tell me your cutting class?
No, I took the day off to prepare for my next college interview.
Don't bring it up.
You guys want a picture? I can take it for you.
Okay.
- Come. - Get closer.
Smile.
Brother Qiangda, can you move closer?
Just take the picture. Stop making so many comments.
One. Two. Three.
Are you feeling embarrassed?
Even if you meet your 100% (perfect) girl,
what are the odds that you'll realize it's her?
Brother Qiangda, who is that?
You can't cheat.
Don't you two echo each other. No one's cheating.
Xiao Qian, that's a very important clue.
Don't delete it. Give it back to me.
Meeting your 100% girl?
This is a story by Murakami Haruki.
Come in.
What happened?
You kept calling and insisted that we meet.
Shouldn't you be lying low right now?
Boss,
who shot me in the leg 23 years ago?
Are you crazy?
What time is it right now?
You still want to ask me about 23 years ago?
It's because I can't figure it out that I came to ask you.
If Lao Yan had a gun back then, he would have pulled it out at the house.
But he didn't.
The only people who had guns were you, Chief, and me.
You are suspecting me?
Boss.
You are always my boss.
I will always respect and trust you.
But I only want to know the truth.
The truth?
If you want to know the truth you have to pay a price.
So is this why you were following my daughter today?
I didn't follow her.
I just saw her by chance.
Xiao Zhan,
when you were in prison, I took care of your parents until they passed away.
When you were released, I got you a job
that would take care of you for the rest of your life.
You're still tied up with what happened 23 years ago?
First, you messed with Lao Yan and became a wanted criminal.
Now you're trying to mess with me?!
Boss,
in my heart, my brothers are my family.
I'm loyal to you because I trust you.
But right now I want to know if someone treated me as an idiot for 23 years.
To know the truth, you must pay a price.
The same goes for hiding the truth!
It's here.
It's only a book?
It's crazy that you two have never read it.
Forget Qiangda, since his head's just filled with science.
But you never read it before?
I have.
It's just that I didn't think of it.
0,264.
The odds that a boy will realize it when he's met his 100% girl?
That's right.
But what is the number trying to say?
Guan Jingjing took a selfie in the library...
[100% boy, you found your 100% girl] [2675]
Found it.
The evidence...
A'Bin, didn't I tell you not to kill him?
He's not dead yet.
He only fainted.
If I wanted him to die, I would have to hold it longer.
How ironic.
This is how he took out Guan Jingjing, causing her death by asphyxiation.
Why don't we follow suit and give the cops some trouble?
This is box 2675.
If you need any help, please let me know.
Thank you.
It looks like a painting.
Wait.
We shouldn't leave our finger print.
It looks like there are bloodstains.
So this painting is a message that Guan Jingjing left for you?
Probably.
That's right.
This is one third of the Puru painting that was stolen from the Wang family in the past.
There are bloodstains on it.
Why was this split into three parts?
Could it be that Lian Zhongyan was involved in the Wang murder case?
We should give it to Xiao Tie to take care of.
Okay.
But questioning Lian Zhongyan is useless.
He'll certainly deny any involvement.
Even if the blood is determined to be from the Wangs,
that only proves that Lian Zhongyan bought stolen goods, not that he was involved in the murder.
Why aren't you calling?
I was going to call him right now.
Hello, Xiao Tie? It's me, Qiangda.
I've already figured out Guan Jingjing's puzzle.
Okay, come over later.
So?
Xiao Tie is taking care of another case.
He'll bring someone from Forensics over later.
Guan Jingjing was killed for simply stealing Lian Zhongyan's painting.
Lian Zhongyan is definitely a top-rate criminal.
Once I find out Lian Zhongyan's motive for killing,
I'll know how he's connected to this painting.
He's so cunning and ruthless.
I'll just have to use myself as bait.
Maybe Chief is just a smoke bomb that these people tossed out,
and no such person really exists.
No matter what, my dad definitely isn't Chief.
This is infuriating.
Lian Zhongyan already knew that we had definitive evidence,
so he pushed all the responsibility to Luo Yingping and Hu Yaohui.
I could only let him go.
I expected that much.
But what about Side? What does she think?
Side?
Don't bring Side into it anymore.
You didn't see her and her dad.
I don't want to bring Side involved anymore.
It is too cruel to her.
I don't want it.
Let's capture him together.
We can think of a way.
So you really like Side?
You're going to make fun of me again, aren't you?
Don't you have anything better to do?
Actually... Teacher Side... Lian Side is not a bad person.
And she... has a good fashion sense.
Her hair is very straight, and it used to be curly. And...
she also understands how to take care of her health.
She takes collagen and she taught Qiangwei to do the same.
Also, her English is good.
The material for her clothing is nice.
She is tall.
She doesn't wear glasses--
That's enough.
You have Qiangwei.
Get real! Why do you keep talking about another woman?
I'm going to tell Qiangwei.
I am very serious about Qiangwei.
I want to tell you that you should treat Side better.
You've changed.
Your personality's changed.
After you changed your hairstyle, you became warmer.
You know how to care about people
and you care about me, your good friend.
Why?
Did you change your name?
Wang Qiangxiao?
Xiao Tie.
Humans are social creatures.
We all need to help each other out.
If you can change that, then you will become more attractive.
What are you talking about?
Are you Wang Qiangda?
Anyway, my point is that you should change that playboy attitude of yours.
You really are different.
From the way you looked at me and your smile...
I've always been like this. I've always been concerned about you.
You're the one who goes around all lecherously.
I just hope you can be sincere and genuine with one person.
Lecherous? You're the lecherous one when you're looking at Qiangwei.
Let me tell you!
From my intelligent perception, birds of a feather flock together.
When you touch ink, you turn black. When you touch cinnabar, you turn red.
After you and Qiangwei got together, she melted away your coldness.
Her warmth guided you back to the right path and changed you.
Not bad, Wang Qiangda.
Good job.
I was... I was originally...
Boss! We found Zhan Dingxuan.
But he's dead.
He's dead?
Zhan Dingxuan is dead?
Hello? Tell me.
What?
Zhan Dingxuan isn't dead.
What?
I'm very confused now.
Is he dead or not?
Boss, he was dead.
And then he was resurrected.
- He's not dead? - He's not dead.
Prosecutor, this way.
Qiangda wait a while.
Qiangda.
How is it?
It isn't very good right now.
Zhan Dingxuan is currently only a three on the Coma Index. (deep unconsciousness, severe brain injury)
He was found drowning by a creek.
He'd already stopped breathing by the time the police arrived.
The medical examiner at the scene discovered there were still signs of life.
They were able to rescue him.
So did he try to drown himself or was it something else?
The doctor said that his lungs were filled with water.
Initial guesses are that the drowning caused his critical condition.
So I took a look at him and there weren't any obvious physical wounds.
I think we should wait until he wakes up.
Oh, yeah. I am going to go to the crime scene.
I will also go.
I can help you.
Xiao Tie!
There's no chance of drowning in this creek.
And this is the deepest part of the creek.
Would such shallow water cause you to drown?
The doctor said the cause of the incident was just a preliminary judgement.
The most important thing right now is whether or not Zhan Dingxuan will wake up.
Just in case, we should ask the doctor to collect the water from Zhan Dingxuan's lungs
to send for testing.
You mean to say...
This might not be the first crime scene.
Boss, the police are here.
The prosecutor is here, too.
Also, that Wang Qiangda.
Wang Qiangda.
Why's he trying to cause trouble?
Boss, don't worry.
I took care of it. There should be nothing wrong.
We found some items nearby, suspected to be Zhan Dingxuan's personal belongings.
Including this phone.
The phone records show
that this was the phone used to report that Qiangda orchestrated Guan Jingjing's death.
So Zhan Dingxuan...
Zhan Dingxuan was the person who killed Guan Jingjing.
I didn't get it at first.
But after seeing you so worried about Wang Qiangwei, I understand.
The murderer's son has fallen in love with the victim's daughter.
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
You want to protect her as a way to make up for your dad's crime, aren't you?
What are you saying?!
My dad didn't kill anyone.
We didn't have a choice.
Who knew her father would return so suddenly?
It was because of your dad's unreliable info.
We had no choice.
I should have stayed calm that day and had a talk with him.
It seems like Zhan Dingxuan knows a lot of things.
Zhan Dingxuan killed Guan Jingjing and now someone's tried to kill him.
Who's the person behind all of this?
We're bringing you the next story.
Criminal Zhan, who's been on the run for several days, after terrorizing a cram school,
was discovered drowning near the Lantian Creek today.
He remains in critical condition after his rescue.
Police are still investigating.
Something's happened to Xiao Zhan?
I need you to help me with something.
You want me to help you with something?
What is this?
You have to take care of this.
If you hear that I die, then give this to Wang Qiangda or Tie Bufan.
It has what they want.
What are you trying to do? Why are you dying?
Of course, I'm not looking for death.
I'm saying if I do.
This is my life insurance.
As long as you hold it, nothing will happen to me.
So this is very important.
I'll keep it safe.
But...
Qiangda is Chief's son.
I'll give it to Prosecutor Tie.
If Zhan Dingxuan was the person who made the report,
then he would have had to remain nearby Guan Jingjing's house.
A'Fei, did you find anything on the surveillance cameras around her house?
No. The footage for the cameras
was already tampered with.
I checked that day.
What about previous days' footage?
If Zhan Dingxuan infiltrated Guan Jingjing's house,
he would have had to survey the area for several days ahead of time.
Qiangda, A'Fei is still a newbie.
You still need an outsider to remind you of things like this?!
If that day's footage was tampered with, you could have rewind the footage!
You could have checked the previous days' recordings.
- Maybe we could have found new evidence— - Wait a minute.
Did you just call me an outsider?
No. It was by accident.
A'Fei, Qiangda is one of us.
With him, we're like a tiger with wings. (double the power)
- It's great to have you. - It's great to have you.
So now--
Prosecutor Tie, I need to see you!
What is it?
Lao Yan?
Qiangda, you are also here?
Oh, I wanted to give something to you.
I wanted to...
Oh, I suddenly remember that I have something important to get to.
I'll go and come back later.
Sorry. Goodbye.
Did he come to the wrong place?
Something seems wrong in his head.
You are the one with problems.
Am I mistaken? Why did it seem he ran away when he saw me?
I got it. After you changed your hairstyle, you've gotten too handsome.
You shouldn't have changed your hairstyle, Wang Qiangda.
You must have done something to Lao Yan.
You offended him.
Guan Jingjing died because she stole that third of the painting in Lian Zhongyan's warehouse.
And Zhan Dingxuan, who was suspected to be her killer, is now in a coma.
At present, the key to this mystery lies with Lian Zhongyan.
But Xiao Tie and Lian Zhongyan have already had a confrontation.
He won't be taken care of by ordinary means.
I have to use my method now.
- Or maybe you can change your hair again. - I'm leaving!
I was just kidding!
- What is it, boss? - Is he angry?
It's obvious he was completely ignoring you.
I'm his best friend. Would he ignore me?
He was super concerned.
Boss, I think you're imagining things.
Stop touching my plant!
Mr. Lian, I'm Wang Qiangda. We've met previously.
I know. You're Side's colleague.
I'm also Prosecutor Tie's friend.
I know where your stolen painting is.
What? You took it?
It seems someone recently made a trip to the thief's house. Isn't that so?
I don't know what you're talking about.
But if you stole it, please return it.
I know where the painting is.
If you answer my questions, I'll tell you where it is.
What kind of game are you playing?
The Puru painting was split in three.
Two thirds of it appeared at the auction, while the remaining one third was hidden in your warehouse.
And it was later stolen by Guan Jingjing.
Why did you cut apart that painting?
That's funny.
I had my fill of a famous and priceless painting, so I destroyed it?
It was like that when I bought it.
He's interested.
So it's no big deal if I hand it over to the police?
If you give it to the police, it will still return to me in the end.
Yes, it would return to you.
But if this painting were involved in another story...
Then it wouldn't be so certain.
After all, it's related to Guan Jingjing's murder case.
Mr. Wang, you may have a lot of free time,
but I don't have the time to play with you.
A'Bin, send him out.
Mr. Lian, I simply wanted to let you know I know where the painting is.
No need to see me out.
Lian Zhongyan should be having a major headache right now.
He'll make a move soon.
I'll just wait for him to come to me.
Who is it?
It is I, Xiao Wei.
What is it?
Can you open the door?
What is it?
I bought some homemade cookies. Let's eat together.
Okay.
I'm already here. Let's just eat in your room.
Wait.
Why?
Just wait a minute.
Just a minute.
You even locked the door?
Why did you lock the door?
Are you hiding something inside that you don't want me to know about?
- No. - Liar.
Oh, I know.
Do you have a wall of anime models and figures?
While I do stay in all the time, I'm not an otaku.
Then...
Do you have a lot of chemicals inside to concoct poisons?
Chemistry... is more Teacher Guo's thing.
That's true.
Oh, I know.
You have a lot of pornographic magazines inside, don't you?
Yes, that's right.
Really?! Let me see!
There's nothing in here at all.
I told you.
Let's go outside.
I know!
His Highness the Prince. Under the covers! (play on words)
Get up.
Qiaowei, you're overthinking this. Let's go outside.
I don't want to. I want to eat in your room.
Why can't we eat in your room?
Let's eat in the living room.
Forget it. Let's just go to my room.
Your room?
Okay.
Come in.
It's strange.
This is clearly my house, but walking into your room...
feels a bit intrusive.
Don't forget that this used to be Xiao Tie's room.
Have a seat.
Why couldn't we just eat in the living room?
If we eat here, there will be cookie crumbs all over your bed later.
I wanted to be alone with you.
And wouldn't it be weird if Xiao Tie suddenly came home?
What would be weird about it?
You're worried he'll steal your cookies?
It has nothing to do with the cookies.
Then what is it?
Well...
Look.
If I were feeding you cookies,
wouldn't it be really awkward if Xiao Tie suddenly showed up?
Makes sense.

Wang Qiangda! You blockhead...
Are you angry?
No.
- Qiangwei, you have some crumbs on your face. - Where?
- Here? - No.
- Over here? - No.
Right here.
You're not angry anymore?
I was never angry.
But you're not off the hook!
What secrets are you hiding in your room?
Fess up.
Why are you mentioning that again?
There are no secrets.
I don't believe you.
How come Xiao Tie can enter your room but I can't?
Who's your girlfriend here?
Of course, you're my girlfriend.
Xiao Tie's like my brother.
So how come he can enter but I can't?
Don't think about it so much, okay?
I think about things a lot.
Tickle attack!
I've got you.
You can't.
My turn to attack.
- You're so strong. - 3...
- No! - 2...
Let me ask you something.
Are you really hiding something from me?
You can be honest with me.
I can accept it.
I have to reply to this email from the school.
Let me take care of this first.
Okay.

Hand over the painting.
He's here.
And if I refuse?
I suggest you think things over carefully before replying to me.
Loser.
[National Junior Judo Tournament]
[Wang Qiangda / Zhang Guobin]
Odds of winning, 10%.
Don't waste energy.
I'll skip this match.
Losing without fighting. Forfeiting was your trick to winning.
You remember, don't you?
That was a strategic move.
You have so many excuses because you're a coward.
I'm here for the painting.
If you're unwilling to hand it over, let's have a fight.
If I win, hand over what I came for, like a good little boy.
And if I refuse?
So you are scared.
Just like in the past.
You should just admit defeat now.
Don't waste our time.
Looks like I'll have to fight this time.
Wherever you fall,
that's where you start from.
Cowardly Wang Qiangda,
what are the odds of you winning this time?
Let me tell you.
It's zero.
Professor Wang.
Cram school teacher, Teacher Wang.
You scared?
Seems like it's been so long that you don't even remember how to make a move.
Why don't you just admit defeat now?
Just like in the past. It'll be less embarrassing.
Because of Dorothy, the lion gained courage.
He started to see the possibility of happiness.
So not only am I the miserly Shylock,
I'm also the cowardly lion?
Because of Dorothy's optimism and complete trust,
the reclusive and cowardly lion regained the courage to love and be loved,
and to challenge the impossible.
Because you changed me into someone different.
No matter how low the odds of winning are,
I won't give up so easily.
I'm not the same Wang Qiangda I used to be.
I'm going to put in my all.
Teacher Side, have you been well recently?
Oh, I've been busy with moving.
My dad was so angry that he was nearly going to cut off our family ties.
I couldn't keep living in the same house as him.
If you need any help, let me know.
I'm very free lately.
Okay, thanks.
I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
On the phone yesterday, didn't you say you needed to talk to me?
What is it?
Let me tell you.
I think that Wang Qiangda is hiding a secret from me.
What do you mean?
Last night, I wanted to go into his room, but he wouldn't let me no matter what.
He must be hiding something inside that he doesn't want me to see.
Don't you think he's acting weird?
Even Xiao Tie can walk into his room freely.
I'm his girlfriend, so why can't I?
Qiangda,
doesn't he know that secrets are forbidden in relationships?
Or maybe it's that!
Isn't your birthday coming up?
Yeah.
So you're saying that he's hiding a surprise for me in his room?
What's under the blankets?
Master Meow! You're so cute!
There are even flowers!
You're so cute.
Why are you so cute?
No way, that can't be.
That's not Wang Qiangda's style.
He's not like most guys. He wouldn't think up something like that.
I'm telling you. He's a blockhead. (literally "a log of wood")
A super, super, super big blockhead.
Qiangwei, if he's a log of wood, then you're a flowing stream.
Do you get it?
You're saying...
After he met me, he became a piece of driftwood?
No.
After he met you, he was able to float on the water.
From the start, one of you was a left brain and the other a right brain.
Your ways of thinking are totally different.
So if you love him, just accept him as he is.
Water is good at embracing things.
That makes a lot of sense.
Indeed, it was a good decision to learn from a master of love like you.
I'll go home and figure out how to better communicate with him then.
Hey, just be content.
Being troubled by love is still better than having no love.
Oh, yeah. I forgot to ask you.
How are you and Brother Tie recently?
I asked him if he wanted to watch a movie, but he said he was really busy and didn't have time.
He has been really busy recently though.
He's even been sleeping at his office instead of coming home.
Really?
Why don't we go visit with some coffee and snacks later, as a surprise?
Okay.
Boss, I won't hide it from you. When I was capturing that criminal...
I was so cool!
I used my A'Fei Spinning Kick!
Just like this!
A'Fei's Knee Smash!
Boss, you're usually really excited. Why aren't you reacting at all today?
This isn't like you.
You haven't been dumped by another girl, have you?
A'Fei, let me say this. First, I didn't hear a single thing you just said.
Second, for all the time I've worked with you, I've never gotten excited.
Third, I wasn't dumped.
Hey, who is it?
"Are you busy?"
"No matter how busy you are, remember to eat."
Boss,
you're obviously creating an ambiguous relationship here! Why are you doing that?
Ambiguous—!
She likes me! What do you know...
Why are you getting angry? You're acting so strange.
Boss, you can reply. Go ahead.
What do you know?
When it comes to love, you can't reply right away to a girl's text.
That's how you bait her!
I'll reply for you then!
Hey, hey!
- What are you doing? - It's my phone.
Qiangda. It's Qiangda.
So it is.
Xiao Tie, I came because there was something I needed to discuss with you.
There should be a common point between the reports for
Zhan Dingxuan's wound analysis and Guan Jingjing's autopsy.
I understand.
A'Fei, go get the reports.
I also understood.
Get what reports?
The report says that the wound was very deep,
meaning the other person would have bitten with all their might.
The time for the wound to heal is around 7 to 10 days,
which matches up with Guan Jingjing's time of death.
If Guan Jingjing and Zhan Dingxuan really had a fight,
then her body should also have traces of Zhan Dingxuan.
Here it is.
In Guan Jingjing's autopsy report, it says that they found
traces of male skin and blood under her fingernails.
Xiao Tie, I suggest that
you get an analysis on the DNA in Guan Jingjing's oral cavity and also her dental records.
It's extremely likely that Zhan Dingxuan's wound was inflicted by Guan Jingjing.
That's easy. It'll be fast.
A'Fei, go.
Boss, if you give me a task, there will be no problems.
- Qiangda, I'll go now. - Just go. Go.
He talks too much.
We're here.
Why do you look so nervous?
Are you feeling shy?
Yeah.
Actually, before we came, I texted Xiao Tie.
He read the message but didn't reply.
I'm worried he might think I'm pestering him if I suddenly show up.
He read it but didn't reply?
Maybe he was busy.
It's okay. We'll just head up.
Really?
You were right.
Zhan Dingxuan's bite scar and Guan Jingjing's DNA were a match.
So, Prosecutor...
That means the two of them indeed had a fight.
Now, we need to go to Guan Jingjing's house to simulate the events.
That's right.
Let's go.
Hello!
Qiangwei!
What are you doing here?
I came to visit with Teacher Side.
Teacher Side!
We bought coffee and chocolate for you guys.
You've worked hard.
Thank you. That's so nice of you two.
Side, what are you doing here?
I thought you knew. I sent you a text.
And it said you read it.
Yeah, I saw the text.
You let him see the message I sent to you?
No, I didn't!
There are zero secrets between me and the boss.
Keep on acting like an idiot!
I'd be upset if Qiangda showed someone our messages to each other without my consent.
Right, Qiangda?
Yes, but I would never let that happen
because you're very important to me.
I don't want to share anything about you with anyone else.
You're the best boyfriend in the world.
Since when did Qiangda say such romantic things?
Yeah. Ever since he started dating, he's turned into a different person.
Even his hairstyle is different.
He went from being a blockhead to being wily.
Everyone, I'm so sorry.
Right now... My heart hurts so much!
- Boss! - Wait! Don't come any closer.
Back away. Take your time crying over there.
If you don't want to get hit, stay away.
And you two, stop showing off your affection.
You too. Stop crying.
It's already dark out. Stop messing around, won't you?
We can head to Guan Jingjing's house now, can't we?
- Okay. - Let's go.
- I want to go, too! - I want to go, too!
Only the men are going, not the women.
Why?
We're free right now.
Stop messing around!
This isn't a date and isn't a field trip!
More than that, it's not Friday!
Okay.
By the way, I need to remind the female students here on a field trip.
Don't touch anything.
We know, Prosecutor Tie.
I know.
Zhan Dingxuan was under orders to retrieve the painting,
but he didn't know where it was.
So he stalked Guan Jingjing for several days,
staking out near her house.
Later, he infiltrated and bugged her house.
How do you know he bugged her house?
Yeah.
On the morning of her death, Guan Jingjing video called me.
You two had a video call?
I saw a flickering red light on the painting,
but at the time, I didn't know what it was.
Later on, I became certain it was a listening device.
Otherwise, Zhan Dingxuan couldn't have timed things so perfectly.
- No wonder. - Calm down.
They had a video call!
Zhan Dingxuan found out that Guan Jingjing was going to give the painting to me.
Since he knew when we were going to meet, he came and waited for his opportunity to strike.
With her guard down, Guan Jingjing opened the door,
not expecting that Zhan Dingxuan was standing outside.
Give it to me.
Where is it?
Where?
That's too horrible.
Acting on impulse,
Zhan Dingxuan accidentally killed Guan Jingjing.
He was unable to find the other half of the painting,
and he saw that my 7 o'clock appointment with Guan Jingjing was approaching.
He started his cover-up, to push the suspicions onto me.
The hot water concealed the true time of death.
So after that, he determined the closest police station and made a report
such that the police would arrive shortly after you did.
There's an incident.
Yes, he's still here.
Then he just quietly slipped away,
and everything was good.
Looks like we've uncovered the truth.
Qiangda is truly amazing.
Admirable.
As for the Puru painting that Guan Jingjing stole,
I suspect that aside from its priceless value, there's something else hidden in it.
Guan Jingjing was the thief who stole Dad's painting?
Guan JIngjing's death is connected to Dad's painting.
Could it be...
My dad's painting was stolen, so he's also a victim in this. Right?
Yes.
- That's right. - Of course.
Boss, there's still work at the station.
- I'll get going. - Okay.
Everyone...
Bye. Be careful.
Xiao Tie,
I solved the puzzle that Guan Jingjing left.
I found what she left for me.
- Was it Lian... - It was Lian Zhongyan's painting.
When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?
I'm telling you right now.
The painting from the Wang's was split in three.
I was originally going to look into it myself,
but I need a forensic lab test.
I'll get it to you in a few days.
Stop acting first and reporting later.
- Okay, sorry. - Lian Zhongyan is pretty suspicious.
Why did he split the painting into three pieces?
Qiangda, Xiao Tie, are you two done with your discussion? Can we go?
Yeah, sure.
Should we all go to dinner together?
Um...
I still have a lot of work to do. You guys go. I'll just get some takeout.
- What about you? - I'm okay. I'm not hungry and I'm busy with moving.
- You two go. - Let's eat by ourselves then.
- Bye. Be careful. - Bye.
- I— - I—
Go ahead, you first.
Why don't I go buy something to eat with you?
We're both going the same direction anyway.
- We can talk later. - Okay.
Let me hold this.
What's the matter?
I'm fine.
Something's not right.
A master once told me
that when a girl says nothing's wrong, that means something's wrong.
Right?
What's the point of holding hands? In the end, I'm not like Guan Jingjing.
I can't understand what you're thinking in your head.
Why bring up Guan Jingjing again?
My sentimental mind can't understand your rational one.
I think Guan Jingjing's the only one who can resonate with you.
You two even video called and played some puzzle game together.
Crap. What is this situation?
Why does it seem like this isn't an on-the-surface kind of question?
I remember Xiao Tie once said...
On the regulations of a battle in the temple of love. Section 9, chapter 8, item 32.
When a woman asks you a question,
what she wants isn't your answer. You don't need to answer her directly.
You simply need to give in and flatter her.
To love her.
Remember this, Wang Qiangda.
Though I don't know what's going on,
Qiangwei still seems angry.
Why don't I tell her a joke?
Solve a riddle.
Why don't I give you a riddle right now?
A person who claps (gu zhang) after they wash their hands.
Who are they?
I don't know.
Person in charge (gu zhang) of sanitation.
That wasn't funny.
Let's watch a movie this weekend.
Okay!
If right now, I can eat...
Lychee! Then we'll watch a movie this weekend.
Lychee?
It's winter right now. Where would there be lychee?
Oh, what a shame. Guess we can't watch a movie then.
Why did he suddenly go into the convenience store?
He's not really angry, is he?
I went too far over my head with the jealousy.
About that...
For you.
Gummy candies and jelly?
Yes. They're both lychee-flavored.
We can watch a movie this weekend, right?
My Master Meow is so smart!
Even lychee in winter wasn't enough to stump you.
You're not angry anymore, are you?
I'm not angry.
We'll watch a movie this weekend then.
Xiao Tie's truly a god.
I heard Qiangda mention the painting my dad had stolen.
Why did it sound like it wasn't an ordinary case of theft?
Is it involved in some other case?
Everything's still under investigation.
You can't talk about it, right?
You know I'm a prosecutor.
A prosecutor's job is to catch criminals.
If in the future...
It's like the soy sauce factory case,
I'm worried I'll end up facing your dad.
I know.
But if it really happens,
I felt I should let you know where I stand before then.
Did you know?
To me, he has flaws in his integrity, and he's a failure of a father.
But what can I do? He's my only family in this world.
Um, didn't you say you were moving? Where are you moving to?
Oh, it's the building right across from the prosecutor's office.
See it?
Seriously?
I always work until really late and I really like to grab a snack.
I'll invite you the next time I go to eat at night.
Okay.
Oh, yeah. About that... A'Fei was such an idiot today.
I didn't let him see my phone. He just took it from me.
Yeah. I saw that you texted, but you know I'm really busy lately.
So I didn't get to reply.
It's fine.
Our relationship isn't one where we need to report to each other.
It's fine.
Then, I'll get going.
Bye.
What Side said was right.
We're not people who need to be reporting to each other.
But why does my heart feel so empty and cold?
♫ I won't come undone ♫
Side, watch out!

Send me a text when you get home.
Do you still remember when we first met?
Cool!
♫ You could sleep forever ♫ ♫ Forever's our next step ♫
Do you want to atone for your crimes?
Or do you want revenge?
If you want revenge, please hurry and wake up.
Zhan Dingxuan, I need you to wake up and help me.

- Preview - I keep thinking there was a hidden agenda for the fire back then.
I can't keep hiding things from Qiaowei like this.
I won't let you get away!
Wang Qiangda, I'm going to make you pay.
I'd like to speak with Ms. Wang for a moment.
