Sparrow
I saw her name on today's prisoner transfer notice file. I want to rescue her.
Xu Bicheng is fooling around, and you all are following her lead!
How would I know that she'd falsify your orders?
It's not a failure on your part. The murderer is just very familiar to us.
I don't know how much of our conversation Liu Erbao heard,
so if Bi Zhongliang asks, we must give identical answers.
Anything that happens now is uncertain.
We must be prepared for the worst.
Do you think these things can be done by a singular person?
I'm waiting for his accomplice to lose his calm
and expose himself.
- Episode 19 -
According to the norm, women work in the kitchen. In our house, the roles are switched.
Our house?
You can go do your own work.
Squad Leader.
- How is it? - Fatty Yu went home.
We've stationed our men at every exit.
People from the Reorganized Government are also watching him.
- Even people from the Reorganized Government? - Yes.
Looks like taking action in this alley is inconvenient. Try to force him away.
Yes, sir.
Save me!
He escaped?
Yes. I've already sent people to find out what happened last night.
- Where did you go? - Every corner of the city,
including the bus stations and piers.
Don't forget that he's an expert in driving.
If he really drove away, he's long gone from Shanghai!
Then I'll send people to search in nearby cities.
It's that car. I'll keep watch on it.
- You hurry and notify Squad Leader Tao. - Okay.
What happened this time?
You don't know? Fatty Yu escaped.
Escaped? For what reason?
What an obvious question. He's fleeing because of his crimes.
He's the mole from the prison rescue last time.
He caused me and Bicheng to be locked up for no reason.
- I'm going back. - Okay.
Hello?
Mr. Tang, I am from Zhihu Bookstore.
The "Water Margin" that you wanted is in high demand. We have no stock yet,
but a gentleman is willing to give up his book.
I've already sent men to retrieve it.
Whether we can retrieve it is uncertain.
I must have this book.
The price doesn't matter.
Then, are you willing to retrieve it yourself?
Where?
Once you're outside the city, go 40 kilometers to the north to the Bafang Hostel in Baoshanzhen.
Do you think Fatty Yu is really trying to flee because of his crimes?
If I say yes, would you believe me? You think everyone is a spy.
Is it so hard for you to speak your mind to me?
You're always beating around the bush with me.
You didn't catch him in the act. Why should he flee?
He's not an idiot. Moreover, it's the truth that he knocked us two over.
He's only running because he feels guilty.
Right now, the most important task is to find him and interrogate him.
Anyway, it's good that something has happened.
If nobody did anything,
you would be in trouble with Supervisor Li.
Come in!
- Did you need something, Shanhai? - Division Chief,
Fatty Yu escaped?
Yes.
Please allow me to lead Operations Team 2 to hunt him down.
Then where do you think he has run off to?
Since he's fleeing because of his crimes, he wouldn't be inside the city.
If he's already left Shanghai, in this giant world, it'll be hard to find him.
Look for tire tracks. Fatty Yu is a good driver.
But if he drives too fast, he'll leave behind tire marks when he turns corners.
Immediately take Operations Team 2 to search for him.
Yes, sir!
Who is it?
We're delivering blankets for you.
Don't you think Tang Shanhai was too proactive today?
He knows that you suspect him and Xu Bicheng,
so he wants to find this mole more than you do.
Why do I think he's wanting to use this opportunity to kill Fatty Yu?
This is what my instincts are telling me.
If he can find Fatty Yu,
he wouldn't bring him back alive, either.
You mean that he's the mole?
If he is planning to use arresting the witness as an excuse to silence him,
then he's the mole.
Team Leader Tang, where are you going?
Tell Liu Erbao to go with Tang Shanhai. Don't give him a chance to attack.
- You must bring him back to me alive. - Okay.
Unluckily, Bi Zhongliang guessed that
Tang Shanhai is indeed wanting to murder Fatty Yu
in the name of arresting him,
so that he will undoubtedly become the criminal.
He understands that these actions risk the exposure of his identity.
But if he misses out on the opportunity,
it'll be hard for him to find another scapegoat.
From the resolute look in Tang Shanhai's eyes,
and from his aggressive request of this mission,
Chen Shen can tell he knows Fatty Yu's whereabouts.
He will also likely kill Fatty Yu in the name of searching for him.
But he clearly still doesn't know
that all of this is within Bi Zhongliang's plan.
More importantly,
because Liu Erbao is here, he has had no chance yet
to inquire about the truth from Tang Shanhai.
Team Leader Tang, why do you think that Fatty Yu will escape to the north?
I checked Fatty Yu's file. He has a second uncle in Nanjing.
Other than this, he has no other relatives.
Then you mean that Fatty Yu will go seek shelter from his second uncle?
Just a guess.
These are jeep tracks.
Fatty Yu also drives a jeep.
Team Leader Chen, do you want to come and take a look, too?
I won't look. I'll leave it to you two.
I'll go relieve myself.
Chen Shen realized that other than the tracks of Fatty Yu's jeep,
there are also other cars' tracks on the soil.
Hence, Chen Shen concluded,
Tang Shanhai has already sent men to assassinate Fatty Yu.
He hopes that the people Tang Shanhai arranged
can take care of this problem before they are able to reach him,
and not leave any traces behind.
But what the result may be must still be left to Heaven's will.
It's his car.
Surround the hotel.
How come I feel that he wants to use this opportunity to silence the witness?
If he is planning to use arresting the witness as an excuse to silence him,
then he is the mole.
Erbao,
wait here outside. Team Leader Tang and I will go in together.
Forget it, Team Leader Chen. It's better that you stay outside. You don't use a gun. If anything bad happens, I won't be able to explain it to Division Chief.
That's right. Team Leader Chen should just stay outside.
Hi, customers--
What room does this person stay in?
It's upstairs, 304.
Fatty Yu!
I am Chen Shen! I'm here to fetch you.
Listen!
If you just leave like this,
it would be sticky business for us.
If you come out now, it's not too late!
If you come out now and surrender your gun,
beautiful women, gambling, and cars will all be waiting for you in Shanghai.
But if you persist in willfully hiding,
even Heaven won't be able to save you.
Seeing Tang Shanhai's expression of relief when he came out of the inn,
Chen Shen's worried heart finally was able to be at ease.
He understood.
Tang Shanhai's people were indeed able to arrive before them and kill Fatty Yu.
They finally were able to get past this difficult stage.
Blanket delivery.
This is a letter that we found in Fatty Yu's luggage.
Second Uncle,
although I was in the enemy camp, I never betrayed Commandant Jiang.
This time, I wasn't able to rescue my wife Zhou Li,
so I've lost my will to live. The Reorganized Government is anything but orthodox.
I also urge you to turn around.
How could that be?

Division Chief, the deceased died of asphyxiation from mechanical means.
What does that mean? Are you saying he committed suicide?
Yes.
- Go now. - Okay.
This is illogical. Are there no signs of fighting at the scene?
Even if my wife died, I wouldn't go committing suicide.
I more or less will drag some people to die with me.
In this world, there are only 2 kinds of people.
One kind is like you while the other one is unlike you.
There is one more possibility.
That is, the enemy covered up everything so beautifully.
What do you plan to do then?
Close the case. Anyway, this is the ending that both Li Moqun and Kagesa wanted to see.
Shanhai, go to Central Headquarters.
May I trouble you to give this case conclusion report to Supervisor Li?
Okay.
In the operation to arrest Fatty Yu,
you surely had valuable contributions.
Bicheng was previously accused because of this matter.
That's why, whether it's due to work or personal reasons, I will surely investigate this matter well.
I also hope that after this matter,
no one will try to make confusion and take advantage of it again.
I hope not.
Did you kill Fatty Yu?
The dishes today are quite tender.
Did you kill him with Old Tao?
The case is now closed and the suspicion about you has also been cleared.
You should work more carefully next time.
Why don't you answer my question?
We have no other choice.
But Fatty Yu is innocent.
Then we should wait for them to connect everything to us, is that it?
In what I did, whether in facing the nationalist government or Boss Dai,
my conscience is clear.
But other than killing people, are there no other ways?
Why didn't you tell me about it before you made your move?
She indeed is a bit stubborn.
But she actually is still a reasonable person.
She just isn't very suitable to live in this kind of mutually deceptive life.
If she were living in a very peaceful era,
she surely would live her life like a poem or a painting.
I wanted to add more green and life into this house.
It wasn't easy for you to find some little bit of life recently;
starting to draw and plant.
I feel that this kind of you is very good.
I don't want you to worry about these matters anymore,
so I didn't plan to tell you about it.
Did you discuss this matter with Chen Shen beforehand?
Are you being muddled?
Although Chen Shen previously helped us, he isn't on the same team as us.
How could I show him all our cards?
I just feel that he won't easily kill people.
Maybe he has some other way.
In your eyes, your teacher, of course, is more skilled in strategies than me.
But I still have to remind you.
Chen Shen's identity is still unclear; and he might even be a secret agent of the Communists.
Which also means
that when, one day, we are able to drive the Japanese out of here,
he most likely will become our enemy.
With so many Hunan cuisine restaurants, why do you like to come to this one all the time?
You are so intelligent, so why don't you guess?
I don't have that interest.
What kind of woman do you really like?
After knowing you for so long, it seems that this was the first time you asked me a question like that.
It seems so.
Recently, I've really started to like a particular woman.
She also likes to come here to eat a lot.
I think that if a woman
can be, like her, elegant and smart,
she'd be super attractive to men.
Tell me. If I am able to learn everything about her,
would you like me more?
Teacher,
can you...
wait for me to return?
I just don't want... my husband...
I understand.
Have you been well these past years?
Yes.
How about you? When did you get married?
The year 1939.
Are you done eating?
If you're done, let's go.
Go where?
I won some money in card games last night, so I'm going to make up for your birthday gift.
Really? Sure.
Let's go.
You really don't want to know
who the woman I like is?
Don't want to. I am also too lazy to ask.
Hey, wait for me.
Mr. Tang.
Team Leader Chen.
Bringing Ms. Li home?
- You're going out to throw away garbage? - Yes.
Mr. Tang personally coming out to throw away the garbage? That virtuous?
Chen Shen, you better learn more from him.
Okay. I'll go now.
How would I dare to let you do it?
Team Leader Tang, don't embarrass me. Or else, this lady will nag me the whole night.
Still can't do that. If you really want to learn how married life goes, why don't you come to our house next time for a meal?
Bicheng really loves the vegetable dishes I cook.
Sure. Sure. Chen Shen also knows how to cook.
How about you guys learn from each other and exchange ideas?
- Sure. I'll get going then. - Okay.
You did great.
Although there were some problems in the middle, luckily it didn't result in damages, and we were able to fulfill our mission.
I will ask Chongqing to commend you for this.
I finally was able to do some serious business, and will be able to show some achievement to Boss Dai.
Have you found a new base location?
I already did. Near Jing'an Temple.
It was Su Sanxing who helped me find it.
Su Sanxing?
The vice governor of Shanghai District?
Right.
He has been in Shanghai for 3 years.
He is very familiar with the area. He helped me to set a meeting with the landlord for tomorrow.
Not okay. The fewer people who know about our communication, the better.
This includes your temporary base. You must not let a lot of people know about it.
But we should at least inform District Governor Zeng Shu about it, right?
Then just let only Zeng Shu know.
Okay. I'll listen to you.
The faster, the better. This place should also be transferred to a new owner already.
Don't worry. We will close for business starting today.
Other than my two trustworthy men, no one knows that you've been here.
You also must
transfer these two men away.
Okay.
I'll write a letter now to have them transferred to the traitor weeding squad in Beiping to work under Yao Ping.
The squad leader of the traitor weeding squad in Beiping, Yao Ping,
is your classmate?
Right. It is him.
Okay.
Then that's safe. Let's just meet three days from now in our old meeting place.
Okay.
These few books are quite interesting.
Just read them first. I also don't know what types you like.
- Thank you. - Wait a minute.
Thank you.
Tagore. From which country is Tagore?
How did that old quote go again? "If you have knowledge in your stomach, you have some kind of qualities?"
If your stomach is full of poems and books, you will naturally be brimming with good qualities and knowledge.
Right. Right. Brimming with good qualities and knowledge. Look at my brain.
I can't remember well what I've read. I don't really know if I can understand these books that you lent me.
You surely can understand them. These books are all very interesting.
I'm finishing with washing the vegetables. Do you need any help for anything else?
Nothing anymore. You've already helped me a lot.
I surely have to return all the favors you've done for us. I hope that in the future, I will have a chance to serve you.
Don't worry. You will have the chance.
Bicheng, look at this necklace of mine. Is it beautiful?
I already noticed how very pretty it is when you entered our door.
- Really? - Just like a very beautiful Ginkgo biloba leaf.
Very pretty, right? Chen Shen gave this to me.
No need to say it, but our Chen Shen's eye for things is really very good.
All the hats or clothes that he has chosen for me would always be praised by others.
Xiaonan, you are also very pretty.
- Really? - Yes.
I'll treat it as you are praising me then.
You really are pretty.

Do all women love jewelry?
Not really.
But more or less, you can determine it based on her gaze.
If a woman likes you, her gaze will usually sparkle when looking at you.
If the way she looks at an object is similar to how she looks at you, then it means that she likes it.
Hey, Bicheng, the place where I usually do my hair is really very good.
Next time, if there is an opportunity, I surely will take you there.
Looks like Team Leader Chen really knows women.
Just a little.
Actually, in the world of women, they also frequently use some objects as a form of communicating.
Clothes, hairstyle, and jewelry.
These usually become topics of conversation when they gather.
Bragging to each other, or comparing each other.
It's just the same with our man's world, where we have cigars, wines, power, and interests.
These matters can open a door to our interaction with other people.
From there, we can find people who have the same ideals as us.
No matter what topic, you really can think of a preposterous argument about it.
This is not a preposterous argument. It is a philosophical theory.
If you are willing to spend money, women usually will not hate you.
Women actually like to receive gifts.
This shows that she has charm, and that you respect her.
If you also like this style...
If you were able to marry Xu Bicheng, you must know a lot about these things.
Very much.
Although our Chen Shen can't compare to Mr. Tang in being genial, cultured, and elegant,
he actually is very caring. Just like one time, when the local gangster was bullying me,
he especially went to the movie set to teach him a lesson.
That time, Chen Shen was really so manly.
I'm not afraid that you'd laugh at me.
That time, I was so moved that I cried.
Tell me. When there is a man who is willing to cook for you,
and even to risk his life to protect you,
shouldn't I already get married to him?
Yes.
Are you two going to be engaged soon?
Soon. Mrs. Bi has already chosen dates before;
but Chen Shen keeps delaying it. He keeps saying it's too early.
Look at him now. He is already at the age to marry.
But he just likes to play; and he attracts women too much.
A good man will always attract women.
That's why I must stick to him all day:
to prevent other women from stealing him.
Good thing you are already married.
Or else, I'd still have to defend against you.
Xiaonan, don't joke like that.
It's true. Chen Shen always praises you.
That's why I must learn these traits of yours.
Maybe he will like me more.
Xiaonan, to tell you the truth, if I were a man, I would also like you.
Because you really are so adorable.
You're wrong, Bicheng. If he is a man, he will like a girl like you.
How can he like a tomboy like me?
I ate too much again.
Who was the one who said that she will never imitate others?
If you try to read books like other people, can you really understand them?
Who told you that I borrowed these books to read them?
I borrowed these books...
to place under the table leg.
Did you notice any change?
You changed the curtains.
And also?
Bicheng and I bought these all when we went shopping.
It's really hard for me to understand what you've learned from imitating others.
How come it's so hard to get you to praise me?
Beautiful.
What did you two talk about when we were cooking?
I was seeing if there was anything else I can learn from her.
I want to learn everything about her.
Maybe it will make you like me.
Don't waste time with those thoughts.
I know.
You have always just treated me as a buddy. So what?
Anyway, in this lifetime, you won't be able to escape from my palm.
Just accept your fate.
Why do you want to know what Bicheng and I talked about?
Typically, you're never concerned about what I tell others.
Don't know.
Maybe I really do like her a bit.
Stop imagining things now! She's already taken!
She and Mr. Tang are even very sweet with each other.
Where are you going?
I want to eat out.
How about I accompany you?
It's fine. You don't need to put up with me.
You are used to eating Western breakfast. I fear that you might not get used to it.
I'm going now.
Mr. Tang, good morning.
Good morning.
Were you looking for me?
Actually, it's...
I want to ask for some information from you.
About what?
Where did you buy that necklace you wore last night?
- Necklace? - Right.
Boss, one order of Chinese cruller.
Also add soy milk.
- Owner, the bill. - Okay.
- Owner, the usual. - Okay.
Owner, one order of porridge.
- Okay. - Owner...
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- One bowl of sweet soy milk. - Thank you.
This miss, what do you want to eat?
They have your favorite soft tofu. You want to order it?
- Give us one order of soft tofu. - Okay.
Just add pickled mustard tuber, no onions.
Okay.
Add...
- three Chinese crullers. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Okay. Okay.
So you remember them all.
Of course.
- The Chinese crullers are here. - Thank you.
Miss, your soft tofu.
- Thank you. - Enjoy. Enjoy.
Thank you for accommodating me
and helping me.
Actually, the person who is accommodating you the most is Tang Shanhai.
I indeed created him a lot of trouble.
Oh, right.
- Can I ask you something? - Say it.
You are a Communist, right?
Sorry.
When outside,
don't ever say that I was your teacher.
I said something stupid again, right?
Other than harming me to death, you will never get any answer
from asking that question.
I was wrong.
Did Tang Shanhai tell you to ask me that?
No.
Actually, I just want to know
if you won't harm me and will help me. That's enough.
Of course, I won't.
I feel that...
right now, I'm really at a loss for what to do.
What's wrong?
I keep being afraid that I might carelessly say the wrong words, do the wrong things.
Talk less. Listen more. Look more.
Okay.
If you want to know other information,
you should follow Liu Meina more.
Although she won't say it and you won't ask it,
she actually will tell you other information.
Okay. I will go near Liu Meina more.
In the rescue operation of Zhou Li last time,
you seemed to not confess everything during your first interrogation.
I was afraid that if I say everything,
Bi Zhongliang will suspect that we had connived beforehand.
What you did was right.
In dealing with people like Bi Zhongliang,
a confession extracted under pressure is more effective than just pouring it out.
You are indeed someone I taught.
You are now admitting that you've taught me?
And one more thing.
Do you know about a secret Japanese plan?
Don't know.
What about it?
I heard my uncle, Li Moqun, talk about this matter before.
