I've found it.
Zhang JunMing
drove some goods away on the 20th. He left the other place
on the night before yesterday.
Normally, he should arrive these few days.
He went away on the 20th.
Why does he only arrive on the 25th?
Isn't the journey 2 days only?
It's like this every time.
The lorry cannot run for nothing.
When he brings some goods over there
he takes an order back.
That means that
this is a regular itinerary?
Since Zhang JunMing came
he drove this route.
Twice a month. Is the date also fixed?
Almost.
They are our regular clients.
Right
Do you know
where does Zhang JunMing lives?
About that...
The place where Zhang JunMing drove to is 300 km from the crime scene.
Half a day
is enough for him.
He has the time to commit the crime.
The marathon Xiao Xue joined
is held at the same place
every year.
The information about the run is also announced three months beforehand.
He completely has time to prepare.
But strangely
Zhang JunMing was clearly at the crime scene
but nobody saw him.
Are you stupid?
All the people who saw him
are his accomplices.
Why would they say?
I dare to bet that
when Zhou Yong
saw Zhang JunGuang
Zhang JunMing must be
right next to him.
It would be great
if we could find other witnesses.
Officers
we have found
the driver living in the same dormitory
with Zhang JunMing.
Can you bring us to him? Okay, here, please.
Here they are. Do you know Zhang JunMing?
We're not close to him.
He's the one living above you. But normally, he
seldom comes back to the dormitory.
We don't have much contact with him.
He doesn't live at the dormitory?
Does he have another place to stay in? We don't know about this.
I remember now.
It's him!
I heard old Wu say that he has a criminal record
which is very serious. He was just released.
No wonder he's so scary.
The other day I saw in his wallet
a photo of a child.
I asked him if it was a son or a daughter.
His face failed immediately.
He then left without saying anything.
I even thought that
why did he have such a big temper.
A child?
How old is the child? It was a photo of him hugging a baby.
It looks a few months old.
Otherwise, why would I ask him
if it was a boy or girl?
Zhang JunMing
does not have any wife or children on his register.
He had been in jail for so long.
How could he have
an infant child?
Maybe that photo
was taken before?
Could it be born by the woman
who waited for him outside for so long?
There is a possibility.
He was jailed for 15 years
and they didn't see each other at all. But she waited for him outside?
I think their feelings are deep but they must be hiding something
if they are so restraint.
That woman
has a family originally.
I think the problem
is with the child.
If the child was born
before he was imprisoned
when he was released
his child should be approximately 20 years old.
As a father, he couldn't take care of him
for so many years.
Why wouldn't he go back to his family
immediately after his release
and instead he went to kill a girl so far away
that he doesn't know?
You're right.
Xiao Xue is one generation
younger than him.
Was he taking revenge for his son?
What are you saying?
He was in prison
and apart from the world for 15 years.
Exactly.
What? The person Zhang JunMing wants revenge
is highly possibly not Xiao Xue.
Then who is it?
He wants revenge
to a person approximately his age.
A person he could torture
through hurting Xiao Xue.
Are you saying that
he wants revenge with Xiao MingYuan?
Are there any overlapping points
in Xiao MingYuan
Zhang JunMing's profile?
I'll look it up.
Before, Xiao MingYuan worked
at a private hospital in QingCheng.
QingCheng?
Zhang JunMing.
Burglary and manslaughter.
Zhang JunMing's case of burglary and manslaughter
also happened in QingCheng.
So they may possibly
meet at that time.
It seems that we have to
thoroughly investigate
Zhang JunMing's case back in time.
Zhang JunMing's profile
is at the court in QingCheng.
But Zhang JunMing
is coming back these few days.
If we don't follow him
by the logistics company
it is very difficult to find his real address.
How about this? Let's split up.
You stay
and wait for Zhang JunMing.
Be careful.
The two of us will go back to the station. If anything happens
inform us immediately. Why is it me again?
How about this?
I'll stay here. The two of you go back.
No, no, no.
How can we let you
investigate such a dangerous case alone?
Also it's quite eye-catching
for you to be there as a girl.
I'll do it.
Don't argue. Let's do this.
Xiao MingYuan obviously
does not know much
about Xiao Xue's life.
That's why Zhang JunMing must have other channels to
know about Xiao Xue's life.
Otherwise he will not know
that she joined a competition.
It'd be great
if we can find her lover
who always appears at her home.
Lover?
The man you saw in your mind?
Not mine. Xiao Xue's.
Sorry, sorry. I heard wrongly.
I haven't slept much these few days.
Are you a superman?
Why can you keep
being so energetic?
Take a break if you're tired.
It is uncomfortable for you
to be alone with me?
Nothing.
You can talk about the case.
I'm listening.
That's why if we can find
Xiao Xue's boyfriend
maybe we can have new opportunities
to prove that Zhang JunMing
has always been
monitoring Xiao Xue.
We only have one
men's underwear in Xiao Xue's home.
How can we find him?
How could I forget him?
Who?
No, why are you
calling Ke JiaMing?
Hey, Ke JiaMing, it's me. I want you to help me with something.
It's here.
Zhang JunMing comes here a lot?
I just saw him here once
and he looked fond of the workers here.
He should come here a lot.
That's all I can tell you
and I've brought you here.
What you investigate and what you ask
is not related to me.
I don't want to bring myself trouble.
Okay. I'll go play.
Thank you.
Hello
Do you know this person?
Who are you?
I was his partner.
He hadn't come for a few days.
Does he live nearby?
Why are you asking?
I haven't contacted him
for a long time. I have something to find him suddenly
and it's quite urgent.
Old Huang is fond of him.
Ask old Huang if you have any questions.
Old Huang?
Who is old Huang?
He's still sleeping.
Come back later.
That day you said Ke JiaMing is giving AZi a document....
Just now you were still talking endlessly.
Now you fell aslept first.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Brother
Wait for people outside.
Don't affect my business here.
Also, I advise you:
he's probably not coming today.
Did you put your coat here for me?
Who would do that? Didn't you take the coat away
just now by yourself?
How is that possible?
Were you sleep walking?
Are you always forgetting things?
That's too scary.
Look over there.
What?
Just sleep.
These are the documents you need.
Thank you.
No problem.
The victim was
a retired university professor.
This says that Zhang JunMing
originally just planned to burglar
but he didn't think that
the home owner would come back suddenly. Then he accidentally
pushed the other person.
But the home owner
had heart disease. Therefore, the victim
died because of heart paralysis.
What's the matter?
When they did an in-depth postmortem examination
they discovered that the victim's
coronary stent was misplaced
and there was already pus from inflammation.
The situation was serious
and threatened his life.
This means that if Zhang JunMing didn't go
the victim could still die.
Maybe.
How about this?
We'll go and interview the relatives.
Maybe we can know more.
Let's go.
Officers, please have some coffee.
Thank you.
After that happened my mom didn't want to
live here anymore.
Actually, I don't want to live here too
but I have no other way.
For our children's education
I could just put up with it.
I heard that man was released.
Yes.
Time passes by so quickly.
Since the case has been closed
you came here for...
Does he want to come here
and do something again?
No, you don't need to worry.
When we were
investigating Zhang JunMing we had some doubts.
We wanted to find you to verify
what happened at the time.
Doubts?
Did your father go through
a coronary stent surgery?
But after the surgery
he felt bad all the time.
Later he began to have a fever.
We brought him to
another hospital for check-ups.
The doctor said his stent was displaced
and had to re-do the surgery immediately.
But after all
he was so old.
Redoing a big surgery
is just
fatally dangerous to him.
We made the decision very toughly to contact a big hospital
in Beijing.
But a few days before
we set off
this happened.
This should count as
a medical incident.
We always felt that God wanted to
bring him away anyway.
If it really was
a medical incident the attending doctor must bear responsibility.
Yes.
At that time we did plan to
prepare materials to go to court after my father's situation
become more stable.
But the lawsuit is expensive
and the surgery is also costly.
We certainly chose to save his life.
When you attended the interview at the time
you said your family lost fifty thousand dollars.
It was withdrawn
exactly one day before the incident.
Yes.
That was withdrawn from the bank to go to Beijing to treat his illness.
He murdered simply for
fifty thousand dollars.
That's very cruel.
Also
the materials for the lawsuit
was lost altogether.
Lost?
At that time, the house was a mess.
We only discovered later.
All the materials we prepared for the lawsuit
had disappeared.
Do you know this man?
This man?
He looks familiar.
I think he's my father's attending doctor.
Thank you.
The university should be close by.
Yes.
This is the teachers' home.
It is so risky
to commit a burglary here
in broad daylight.
This is not our only problem now.
Do you think that
Xiao MingYuan was related to this
by chance?
I don't think so.
It's just that we haven't found
the certain linkage.
But...
Hey
Officer Qiu
Okay. I remember it. Sorry to have bothered you.
Zhang JunMing had an accomplice called Wu You.
His earlier household register is also in QingCheng.
I'll get them to help me contact
and see how this person is doing.
Have you found this Wu You
now?
They've found him downtown.
Let's go.
Qiu Ming said
in the four burglaries Zhang JunMing committed only one involved an accomplice.
He is Wu You.
Wu You only committed a lighter crime
so his sentence was one year and eight months
and was released afterwards. Now
he opened an agency
and has a stable life.
I think it's strange.
Why would Qiu Ming
contact you directly suddenly?
Mom, what is that man doing?
ZiYi
that is a bad man.
He didn't study well
and only sits there every day.
When you grow up
don't be like him.
Do you understand?
Let's go.
Sure, sure.
Don't waste any time.
The two of you
Are you buying or renting?
Hello
May I ask if you are Wu You?
Yes.
Do you know Zhang JunMing?
We have some things
we want to ask you.
Okay, sure, please come inside.
This has already passed for so many years.
Why are you finding me again?
Right now, I am
a law-abiding citizen.
You can count as
disturbing me.
It's like this.
We came today
mainly to ask about
the specific circumstances at the time.
I've already said
the specific circumstances very clearly in my confession.
We want to ask
about Zhang JunMing.
I've already told you everything I knew about him.
I know about nothing else.
How about this?
We have a new case
that needs your cooperation.
If you want me to tell you anything
I've already told you everything I know.
I have nothing
to tell you now.
I haven't contacted AJun until now.
We didn't have any conversation.
You can check that.
No, we...
You just want me to cooperate with you.
Can you policemen
cooperate with me?
I've left prison for more than ten years.
I can't even go home to my family.
Have you seen my company?
I spent my life
building up this company.
The people outside
never knew about my criminal record.
This is a middleman company.
If they know I
was a burglar before who would come to my company
to buy and sell their property?
Enough, enough.
Please go.
I have nothing to cooperate with you. Do not come
anymore as well.
We really won't disturb your business.
Disturb my business?
Do you decide on the standard?
If I really did anything
against the law
you can investigate.
I can explain.
But I didn't. Therefore
please go.
What's the matter?
You're bullying me because I cannot call the police to make you go?
We'll wait until
you calm down to talk to you.
It's raining.
Are you going to wait here forever?
Look at his attitude.
Even if he speaks nicely
I estimate it won't be true.
But the more he rejects us
the more likely he's hiding something. That's not a must.
Hold this.
Thank you.
You...
How is ZiCheng?
He messaged me just now saying that
he's waiting for
a person close to Zhang JunMing.
I estimate right now he's also
waiting outside.
Help me hold this.
Of course.
What's the matter?
Look at that district.
The land price is so high.
You want to buy a house?
This is the place of Zhang JunMing's first burglary.
It looks quite luxurious.
The second case took place at a district of villas.
The third case
was at QingCheng's first apartments for foreigners.
Comparatively
the last case took place
at a normal teachers' residence.
So is Zhang JunMing's choice
to go to steal and kill at a professor's home
really simply
his personal choice?
It seems that if we want to know
if Xiao MingYuan
is related to this case
we have to find possibilities among Zhang JunMing
and Xiao MingYuan's contacts.
But we only have limited knowledge
about what happened to him
before he went to prison.
Now we can only wait for Wu You to talk to us.
Then let's wait here.
Should I go
buy you some water?
No, thank you.
What do
you want to do?
Do you want to follow me home?
We said already
we will not disturb your life.
You are difficult to find
and difficult to hide from.
Come with me.
You stood here as my guards all day. Can't I treat you to dinner?
Come on.
Shop owner
Old Wu
You brought friends here today?
I'll take the normal seat.
I've reserved it for you.
XiaoZhang
Come
Bring these friends over there
and take care of them.
Come, I'll order some food.
Okay.
Here?
Yes, please take a seat.
Please wait.
Thank you.
Fried pork
Fried eggplant
Give me a free dish
Fine, no problem. Also give me a beer.
Sure.
Sit down first.
The food will come soon.
I've ordered the food.
Eat slowly.
I'll say it now:
we cannot let you
pay for this meal.
Stop it. This is my canteen.
Don't tell me the rules.
Here, here, here.
Okay.
It feels so good.
Saw that?
That's my life.
It's just like everybody else.
Actually, we came today
mainly to ask
about Zhang JunMing's circumstances.
Didn't I tell you?
Let's chat while we eat.
Can we not mention him?
Don't mention the past too.
Okay, I won't mention. How about this?
Can I ask you one more question?
Do you know a man
called Xiao MingYuan?
Xiao what?
Xiao MingYuan.
What does he do? I don't know him.
Is business easy here?
It was fine before.
Later those young people
created those
zero two zero
and our business could not continue.
We are a traditional
and a small, private business.
It's very difficult.
That's not zero two zero.
That's called O two O.
Online to offline.
I thought it was
a telephone code.
Eat whatever you like.
Actually
people like me
with no education background or talent
who even went to jail what could I do?
I can only do some labor work.
Life is hard.
Then do you hate Zhang JunMing
for making you commit the crime?
What's the matter with you?
Why are you trying to trick me
to say something again?
You said we chat
so I was chatting with you.
I don't hate him.
Then why do you not want to mention him?
Young lady
You really don't know a lot.
Who doesn't have difficulties?
I admit
it was wrong of me to do that.
He bears the responsibility
of two human lives.
Two human lives?
Apart from Zhang JunMing's sick mother who's the other one?
Let's eat, let's eat.
Give me one more bottle of wine!
Please wait, coming!
Two more!
Sure!
What are you doing?
I'll drink with you.
Hey!
Don't have guts without capacity.
I don't bully girls.
We haven't drank together before.
How do you know I don't have capacity?
Great!
I like people like this. Here, I'll bring you some.
I'll bring you a dozen.
Wait here.
Wait, I'll get a dozen.
What are you doing? Can you drink?
I don't know.
You're drinking and you don't know?
Later I'll drink for you.
That won't work.
Firstly
if you're drunk, I can't move you.
Secondly
if both of you are drunk
I'm in even more danger. Thirdly
I only need to apply to you if I want to drink. You have to apply to Captain Zhang to drink.
If we have to wait for your permit
we won't have a chance tonight.
But then...
Here are the wine!
Here, put them here.
Let's drink fearlessly tonight.
I haven't seen
such a straightforward girl in a long time.
Here.
This is what drinking's about.
Thank you.
Normally I drink alone.
Then...
No, about that... I'll drink for her.
No, there's no need.
Cheers.
What an outstanding lady.
This is great.
I'll drink with you. Here.
Let's continue.
Coming.
Pack your things. We have to go.
I'll wait for you downstairs.
Go take a bath.
There's still time.
Drink this.
You'll feel better.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Hello, shopkeeper.
Say, brother,
you are really not afraid of being tired.
Wait there, then.
What did Wu You say last night?
Do you really not remember anything?
It looks like you're good at forgetting things.
That was a special occasion last night.
Last night, Wu You said rubbish for a long time
and finally spoke up.
What happened next?
You say I don't know.
I don't think I don't know.
No matter what financial burden he had
I don't think this can
solve the problem.
Don't mention saving lives,
say, for Zhang JunMing,
he was imprisoned for 15 years.
Her mother ended up passing away
before he was released.
It turns out you
don't know anything.
Since you came
just concentrate on drinking.
Stop giving her wine.
She's drunk.
It's alright, I just don't understand.
I have to wait until he makes me understand.
Right.
More!
She can't drink anymore.
Don't give her anymore. I won't be your friend anymore if you give her wine.
Are you protecting your police princess?
It's so good to be young.
Thinking about being young now
for YiLan, JunMing
fought with tens of people at a time.
YiLan?
His girlfriend.
For that girl, he
could give up his life.
At that time
I didn't listen to Blind Huang.
Do you know what Blind Huang said?
This girl is unlucky.
She brings misfortune to her husband and children.
In the end, for his child
he lost his freedom for life.
He had a child?
This is the second life
you mentioned, right?
Gu Jing, Gu Jing!
What happened next?
Next, I couldn't wake you up no matter how I tried.
Then did Wu You say last night
more about Zhang JunMing's child?
You don't know?
Why were you so heavy
last night?
You look so thin.
You hide your fat very well. Don't be ridiculous.
What did Wu You
say last night?
Wu You said
Zhang JunMing and
this woman called YiLan had a daughter.
When she was pregnant
they found out she had
congenital heart disease.
But at that time it was
already too late to induce labor.
Both the mother and daughter could die.
Congenital heart disease?
This is the link between him
and Xiao MingYuan.
Xiao MingYuan used
Zhang JunMing's child
to threaten Zhang JunMing
to make him go to the old professor's home and steal the materials for him.
I think that
we are getting closer and closer to the truth.
But what happened to the daughter later?
Wu You doesn't know about this.
After they parted ways
he had not contacted
Zhang JunMing again. Until Zhang JunMing was arrested later
he was only discovered as an eye witness.
Let's assume this child
is Xiao MingYuan's
excuse to threaten
Zhang JunMing to help him.
Now, Zhang JunMing wants to take revenge.
This means Xiao MingYuan turned back on his words.
I've also thought of this. I think this girl
was not successfully rescued.
Therefore, YiLan and Zhang JunMing
decided to take revenge.
They didn't contact each other for 15 years
like strangers
to wait for Zhang JunMing to be released
and revenge together.
But there's something else I don't understand.
If it's like this
Xiao MingYuan should
realize at the beginning of the case
that Xiao Xue's death
was related to Zhang JunMing.
Do you remember before we set off
we let him see the photos?
I remember.
You don't know any of them?
I don't know them.
I haven't seen them.
He said he didn't know these people.
Think: Zhang JunGuang and Zhang JunMing is only one word different.
Also, the photos we showed him
had personal information on them.
It's impossible for him not to think of this. But he denied that
so this proves that he desperately
wants to hide his past.
Even if the case will remain unsolved
he will not expose his past.
That is too relentless of him.
Xiao Xue is his own
daughter after all.
Yes.
After all, she's his daughter.
Is he going to just tolerate quietly
and not fight back?
Let's not care about so much.
I will call Captain Zhang
later and
ask him to send somebody to secretly observe
what Xiao MingYuan is doing recently. But the evidence
we have now is not enough to prove it.
If we want to prove
our deduction
we need to have more evidence.
Later, let's visit the hospital
Xiao MingYuan previously worked at. Okay.
Stop sleeping.
What's the matter? Am I in your way? He's here.
Old Huang.
That is blind Huang.
Let me tell you
Although old Huang is blind he is supernatural at playing mahjong.
He doesn't play but he helps others play.
When he wins, people buy him a meal.
If you want to know anything
just let him win.
I don't know how to play mahjong.
Learn if you don't know.
There is only a little luck in this set of cards.
You can pick up a win without points.
You can't even win enough to buy me a cigarette.
Who's turn is it?
How much are we betting?
This is going to kill me.
Auntie, can you let me play for a while?
Four bamboos! Thank you.
Who's turn is it?
Old Xiao had a lawsuit because of a medical incident?
There should be no such things.
Yes. I don't remember it too.
If there really is something like this
our hospital will
handle it seriously.
Is it because the patient
did not appeal in time?
Can you still find
the medical records of that time?
According to the rules
medical records
not involving medical disputes
can be packed and destroyed
after ten years.
In reality we can only ask the people at the archives office to try and look.
But I can't guarantee anything.
We also want to ask
around that time period
did Xiao MingYuan perform a heart surgery
to a six-years-old girl?
That girl has
congenital heart disease.
Yes.
Do you have any impression?
No.
We are very busy
in the hospital each day.
I don't even remember
the surgeries I performed myself.
Not to mention other people.
Yes.
I remember Xiao MingYuan had a daughter who is especially pretty.
She began to play the piano
at kindergarten.
I have an impression of this too.
At the annual meeting one year she even came to perform here.
I think his wife
is in the music industry.
Yes.
That is his ex-wife.
After their divorce
she moved overseas
and passed away because of illness.
What a pity.
She learned to play piano since she was young?
What's the matter?
In Xiao Xue's home
there were no instruments.
There weren't even music players
for listening to music.
Then maybe she liked it before
but she doesn't like it now.
Hey
YiXiu
I just found out where does Zhang JunMing lives.
You've found it?
Yes.
Okay, thank you. If we have any questions
we may find you again.
Certainly.
Let me tell you
send me the address.
Remember
only take action when we are together.
Okay. I asked about it
it seems like he hadn't
come back for a long time.
We may not be able to catch
the bus this afternoon.
We can only catch the last
bus tonight and come.
Does the logistics company
have any information about Zhang JunMing?
The company
says the lorry hadn't arrive at the carpark.
But supposingly
the car should arrive today.
Be aware of keeping a safe distance. Don't act carelessly.
After all you got the information
after investigating for so long.
You cannot avoid people alerting him about it.
They are hidden and we are exposed.
Beware of your own safety. Heard that?
Okay. Don't worry.
I've bought the tickets.
It sets off at 8 p.m. and arrives at 10 p.m..
Let's not waste time.
We still have to go and visit
Xiao MingYuan's old home.
How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?
No.
I'm thinking if Zhang JunMing
went to the professor's home
on his own.
You're saying that
Xiao MingYuan could be there too?
Maybe the person who plotted it
is Xiao MingYuan.
Because Zhang JunMing
breaking into the professor's home
is not his style and practice.
According to what you just said
Xiao MingYuan did not only
instigated the burglary. He should be responsible for the professor's death.
Only because of this
would he firmly deny everything.
But it has passed
for so many years.
Not a clue of him
was discovered at the time. Now, if we want to investigate,
it will be even more difficult.
That's why this time what we should first look for
is not evidence
but relationships.
As long as we can prove
Zhang JunMing is taking revenge on Xiao Xue
Xiao MingYuan cannot escape.
It's like this:
I am worried about
ZiCheng being there alone.
That's why tonight, no matter what,
let's join him first.
Of course.
