The bureau has sent Shi Guangling to the Changfeng district.
He's in charge now.
You told me once
that he started out here.
Things are looking so bad now.
It makes sense to send an old pro to mend things.
He called me personally earlier.
We're officially back.
MINISTRY OF PUBLIC SECURITY
All things considered,
you shouldn't be working for a while.
But I can tell from your tone
that even though this is Haigang's case,
you still want to be part of it.
How about this?
You're free to do what you want for now.
They're doing the autopsy now.
You can do whatever you want.
I have no say in it.
Guan.
Zhao.
Stay with her.
Your file says
you were classmates.
I don't want anything to happen to Zhou.
Get to work.
Chief Shi.
You told me to come back
to make sure Zhou is alright?
Like I said earlier,
this is about Zhao.
Your task is similar to hers.
Just give your approval to it.
Zhou.
Yes?
Mr. Guan.
Get some rest, okay?
I'm going home too.
Chief Shi...
You get some rest too.
Don't worry.
I'm going to Haigang to see if the coroner found anything.
Okay.
See you then.
Let's go.
YINSU BAR
Your father died from acute organ failure.
How did the poison get in his body?
Toxicology found the same poison in the drink on his desk.
The two samples completely matched.
If I'm right, that drink he drank was poisoned.
I think the person who made this had some professional knowledge
or a background in this.
Furthermore, all the elements were extracted from substances
that can be bought legally.
But if they're poisonous, how can they be legal?
Wouldn't it be hard to extract them?
Yes, they don't exist in huge amounts,
so extracting them is hard.
Maybe it's easier to extract them chemically.
But I'm not sure about that.
But...
how do you know the killer extracted them from legal substances?
Could he have stolen it from a toxicology lab?
I don't think so.
If he had done that, the poison would've been purer.
The selenium we found was mostly organic.
It can be found in many chemicals and agricultural products.
If he wanted to steal from a lab, he would've stolen selenous acid instead.
If we start investigating companies who buy these materials,
will we find a lead?
Captain Guan should know better than me.
Thank you, Mr. He.
-Thanks. -No problem.
Guan.
You're here.
Chief.
What's going on now?
Can you tell me?
Ye Fangzhou is like a mad dog.
Liu is dead.
He's been detained.
The Changfeng district is in pieces.
A few years ago,
Liu Changyong did a full internal investigation.
He got rid of Ye Fangzhou.
But I guess he missed someone.
Ye Fangzhou is just a link in the chain.
He's part of a massive criminal organization.
According to what we know,
this organization
has a clear hierarchy with defined roles.
They have infiltrated
the public security system
providing them with information and protection.
We have further evidence
that they have been planning
to kill our team leaders.
Zhou Xun
told me about this once privately.
Can you handle this game of chess alone?
It's all up to fate.
Because it's about the team,
we didn't want to alarm anybody
before we found out more.
But I never saw this coming.
It's too risky.
Guan.
Only the two of us have nothing tying us down.
I wanted to keep Liu Changyong and his daughter out of this.
I found a similarity in all this.
It might be...
I told you to stay out of this!
You'll be retiring soon.
Stop being an idiot!
I am the vice captain here!
This is my business!
Fine. Whatever.
You'll just get yourself killed!
When I got back,
I realized it's no use.
I should've just told him what Chief Gu thinks.
So I went back.
Liu.
But he wasn't there.
Liu.
Hey.
Hey, Guan.
I thought you weren't coming. I had a fight with Liu.
Let's take a walk.
None of us saw
Liu Changyong's death coming.
Yes.
But my guess is...
the person who poisoned the tea was after me.
I've never imagined that either.
Chief Gu.
Zhao.
Can we talk alone?
I'll see you.
I finally understand
how subjective our view can be.
Ever since I found out about you and your brother,
I realized how obvious it was.
If you don't believe I was framed,
why didn't you expose me?
Did you tell him anything?
Good.
I wanted to ask you two things.
First, why did you decide to exchange identities?
You pose as him very well.
But isn't that very risky?
Remember the mission my brother was on?
Wu Lingling died and he was hurt that time.
It happened in a dark container. That traumatized him.
Is he afraid of the dark now?
I think there's a medical term for it.
A counterreaction to photosensitive epilepsy.
I see.
Second,
when he ran at the train station,
I thought he had someone helping him.
You were in Jiangzhou then.
Which means somebody,
maybe more than one person, is helping you guys in secret.
Who are they?
Anyone from the team?
Anyone helping us now is doing so
with great risk.
They believe I was framed.
You might not have bad intentions, but if I tell you,
I'd be betraying their trust.
I won't sell my friends out.
You have integrity.
But let me tell you this.
You can't always trust the people
who are close to you.
Not even your brother.
I told Zhou to get the evidence for 213.
I wanted to show you yesterday.
I knew you'd be interested.
Captain Guan.
Did Zhou leave yet?
She's in the office. She said she had to do something.
By the way, we found out something from Haigang.
It's okay. I'll ask her.
According to Locard's exchange principle,
the criminal always leaves something and takes something from the crime scene.
-Wang, here's the evidence. -Okay.
Sign here.
Okay.
Thanks.
-Captain Guan. -Wang.
Did Zhou just return the evidence?
Yes, she just left.
-Okay, let me in. -Okay.
Look.
Zhou doesn't know that when we were looking at the evidence
we spilled some glue on the desk.
Check the bags to see they've been contaminated.
Yes, sure.
It's this one.
Here.
What's wrong with Zhou?
She shouldn't have had glue nearby while looking at evidence.
She's so careless.
She should be more careful.
She's so hasty with her signatures.
HAIR PRESERVED INTACT, PROBABLY FROM SUSPECT
Looks fine.
Yes, looks fine.
I got scared.
-See you. -All right.
-Take care. -Okay.
Zhou.
Hello?
I need to talk to you. See you on the roof.
Where are you?
Hello? Hello?
You can't always trust the people
who are close to you.
Not even your brother.
Hongyu.
If you find the person who framed you...
what would you do?
Why did you get delivery? Don't get me in trouble.
You're making it difficult for me to solve this case.
-I never went to that damn... -I'm a cop. I only trust proof.
I know just what happened.
I can't believe a professional police would...
Even if you're my brother, I'll still lock you up.
Do you know how Qi Weidong died? Do you know who stabbed him?
Do you know who gave him those 30 something wounds?
-You'll spend your life in prison. -How did Wu Lingling die then?
-Don't bring her up. -You're hiding things from me.
I don't know what you're saying.
I'm afraid of getting found out and ruining your life.
We'll get in trouble. I always wear white gloves.
Am I still normal? I'm not you!
I'm paranoid all the time! Have you thought about me?
If I didn't think about you, would I take the risk?
That's because you know I'm innocent!
Say something!
Believe me. I didn't kill anyone.
Why are we meeting here?
The house is too small.
What do you mean?
Are you crazy?
I saw the evidence...
of the family murder.
It had the suspect's hair.
But it wasn't mine.
My hair wasn't that long then.
If the DNA matches mine...
then there's only one damn reason.
It was yours.
Tell me the truth.
Did you kill Wu Zheng and his family?
Why did you frame me?
Tell me!
You've been fooling everyone.
Even your own brother.
How could you?
I finally understand why you don't go out at night.
It's not because of trauma. You have a guilty conscience.
Guan Hongfeng,
I can say for certain I didn't kill Wu Zheng and his family.
Can you? Huh?
Say something!
I think you should calm down.
Even if you're right about this...
what would you do?
What can you do?
Is Big Brother still unsatisfied?
He wants the mess gone.
But now there's even more mess. What do you think?
What do you think of Mr. Guan?
He was top-notch at the academy, a kind person...
But he's a little cold.
Why do you think he came here to be a consultant?
I think he wants to get closer to his brother's case.
But that isn't a secret.
I don't get his brother's case.
But...
whatever it is, they're brothers after all.
Working with him has made me realize
that he's extremely meticulous, rigorous, and rational.
Now I find it strange that he would quit out of anger
because he couldn't investigate his brother's case.
-What do you mean? -Just look at me.
Because I'm working in the district and they suspect Captain Zhou,
they transferred my Dad's case to Haigang.
If Mr. Guan hadn't quit then,
his brother's case
would've been transferred to the Branch Office.
It would've been harder for him to pursue the case.
Captain Guan.
From Haigang's toxicology report, we found these companies
that can extract poison from natural substances.
We'll look into them.
You managed to narrow it down?
I found the companies that bought these substances
within this timeframe.
Then I cross-checked their output with how much they bought.
I narrowed it down to these three companies.
-Let's check them out. -Okay.
-Why are you so late? -Things are bad now. I couldn't leave.
What did Big Brother say?
He's busy with the case and cleaning your mess.
He wants me to call him when I see you.
Don't blame me.
Blame Big Brother for sending you to kill me.
Captain Liu filled in last night. He's looking at documents in his office.
Haizi. Did you get him? Don't let him get away.
I can do whatever I want.
He can't stop me now.
Fine. You're good.
But think about it. Where can you go?
You and Big Bro better pray for my safety.
You think I'd rather get killed than go to the police?
Use your brains.
If we kill you,
Guan Hongyu will know you were silenced
and you weren't the mastermind.
It's safer for everyone if you're alive.
You know very well
that only Big Brother can help you leave now.
-You can even leave the country. -Okay.
If you help me leave Jingang, I'll give you Guan Hongyu.
That's an interesting idea.
But you'll need to take care of some things.
What things?
Huang Shan from the chem factory and Qiao who's in Changchun.
They can both point fingers at you.
Huang Shan will be easy, but Qiao Sen...
Big Brother has sent Wawa after Qiao Sen.
Just take care of Huang Shan.
-Hello? -So?
I just found it, but it's tough.
Just come back now.
Wait.
Half a day. I just need half a day.
Big Brother wants you back now.
I thought I was cleaning up Ye's mess?
Never mind. Just get rid of him.
What's going on?
Longjia Airport, please.
Thank you.
Bye.
Now...
this is the last one.
It's getting dark, Mr. Guan.
Should we call it a day and continue tomorrow?
No, let's continue.
Get in.
Move!
Hey, Ye.
I did as you asked.
Why are you doing this?
Huang Shan. Just do as I say.
Stop talking.
Move!
That's Ye Fangzhou's car.
Let's go. Watch out.
Are you okay?
I'm just tired. Go look at the car. Don't mind me.
Kneel down.
Hey! Damn it!
Ye.
You used me, now you'll kill me?
You made so much money off my heroin.
I even made poison for you to kill a cop
when you asked me to.
You got what you wanted.
How could you do this to me?
Why don't you talk to Big Brother about this?
Huang Shan.
Don't you see that killing you...
was Big Brother's idea?
No way. Impossible.
I have a skill.
Unlike you. You just make trouble.
You're useless!
He should be getting rid of you first.
Yes! I'm in a lot of trouble.
-And you'll pay for it! -Ye Fangzhou!
Nobody will pay for your crimes.
Zhou Shutong.
-What are you doing here? -I heard everything you said.
Stop putting on an act!
I didn't think your Dad would drink that tea.
Stop it.
Yes. Your Dad kicked me off the force.
But for your sake, I never thought of hurting him.
Think I'll forgive you just because you wanted to kill someone else?
-Shutong. Listen-- -Shut up!
Put down the gun. Don't move!
Ye Fangzhou.
Put down the gun.
Go get backup.
Don't move!
I said I wouldn't hurt you, but not the others.
-How dare you! -Just watch me!
Ye Fangzhou!
Go get backup now!
Mr. Guan. Are you okay?
Go after him.
Stay here. Backup is coming.
Go after him!
Zhou Shutong.
I've been so patient with you. Why are you leaving me no choice?
Just think about what you've done, and you'll know why.
Zhou Shutong, why don't you get it?
This world is not black and white.
Yes. I'm not a good person.
But not everyone is as innocent as you!
By the way, your favorite Mr. Guan is--
Who's there?
Senior?
Mr. Guan?
Shutong...
You.
I'm sending you on your way.
You're not a cop. Who do you work for?
Nobody.
I'm helping a friend.
Brother, I don't know who you are.
But please, let me go. Someday, I'll return the favor.
You see,
I'm already here.
If you don't get out of my way, I'll get rough.
You'll be on your way soon.
You may get rough.
