Wang used his dagger to help...
but that guy was too good.
He took Wang Hui down...
and pinned them to the ground.
Wang Hui got up...
and saw his dagger in Brother Dong's chest.
Then the attacker fled.
In that situation,
how would I know what to do?
He's my man after all.
I gave him a couple thousand dollars that I had.
And we lost contact.
Wang claimed Yao did it, and Yao said Wang did it.
They're accusing each other.
So, who is it?
Whoever it is, there's another one.
Find the cripple.
JUSTICE, DEDICATION, INTEGRITY, EFFICIENCY
Hello.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Hello? Hello?
Speak up.
I'm here to turn myself in.
Hubby...
That night...
You!
How dare you look down on me.
Wretch. How dare you look down on me.
MUSIC BAR
You dare hit me?
I was very angry
and wanted to punish him.
I didn't want to kill him.
I slashed him many times, avoiding the vital areas.
Should someone discover him
and get him to the hospital in an hour, he wouldn't die.
But Qi Weidong died in the end.
Do you know who killed him?
I was worried after I left.
What if he dies because no one finds him?
That alley's too secluded after all.
So I went back.
Then I saw...
Brother Yao!
Brother Yao, you...
Let's go.
Arrange suspect identification.
Sure.
Don't be too upset.
Have some water.
Thank you.
Young lady.
Can you do me a favor?
What is it?
I don't know how he can get a lighter sentence.
I know he would never tell you this.
Five years ago...
our family went on a road trip.
On our way back...
Old Geng rushed back for a meeting.
As a result, we rear-ended a truck.
Our daughter, Xiaoyan...
suffered brain trauma.
By the time she got to the hospital...
she was already brain dead.
Old Geng made the decision
to donate Xiaoyan's heart.
He said that's the only way
his only daughter
could continue to live in this world.
I know that...
the woman he visits frequently at the bar
is the recipient of Xiaoyan's heart.
So that's the reason.
Uncle Geng did that to Qi Weidong...
to protect that lady?
Whatever it is...
I hope the police
can show him some leniency.
How did it go?
What happened?
I'm talking to you.
Do you know what happened to Zhou Shutong when we went in?
Did you think pushing her in will get you the culprit?
You know how Qi Weidong died?
You know who stabbed him last?
Who slashed him more than 30 times?
You think you're smart?
Who was it?
Talk.
Where are the drugs?
Why?
I'm a drug smuggler and a murderer.
It's a death sentence anyway.
Do what you want with me.
Look for the drugs yourself.
Aren't you good at this?
You're still so stubborn,
even at this point.
Do you see me as trash?
What about your brother?
If I'm trash...
he's shit.
Don't worry.
We'll find the drugs very soon.
Xiaoran, I promise to turn over a new leaf and make it all up to you
Hope it's not too late. Your dad, Qi Weidong.
Weather analysis suggests the atmosphere is undergoing changes.
High pressure intensifies warmer air flow in the north.
Rainy season will start early.
Please be prepared for it.
When I was in logistics five years ago, I got acquainted with Brother Leopard.
These people hide drugs in three possible places.
The container transit station,
the underground warehouse,
and the warehouse at pier three.
Based on the surveillance,
Yaoji frequents three places.
His parents' house,
his mistress's house
and the pier area.
We'll split up.
Freeze! Get down!
-Freeze! -Get down!
Search!
The drug dealer told Yaoji that the drug is damp.
My guess is Yaoji's inventory
is somewhere in pier three.
Your umbrella's broken?
Come on.
This way.
Yard number four.
Just like yard five and six next to it,
they're going to be demolished.
All residents have moved out.
Demolition has started in the next area.
This is the only building left standing.
BUILDING NO. FOUR
Six months ago, on the eve of Chinese New Year
a family of five in unit 301 were all killed.
It will be off-limits until we close the case.
This is...
Let's go up.
Come on.
The killer came in the building at around 10:00 p.m.
This is an old community, so there's no CCTV installed.
We derived the estimated time based on leads.
The owner of unit 301 is called Wu Zheng.
He's known to own a waste recycling business.
But we found out that he also has a location for contraband goods.
And it's likely that
he was closely connected to illegal organizations.
CITY OF JINGANG
There wasn't any sign of a forced entry.
It was probably Wu Zheng who opened the door for the killer.
It's likely they knew each other.
This is Wu Zheng.
His body was found
facedown.
His back was facing south
which means he was attacked as he led the killer in.
His only injury was a stab from left shoulder blade...
down through his heart.
This is Wu Zheng's mother, 70 years old.
She probably heard some noise
or even Wu Zheng's scream
so she got up from the sofa
and walked to the living room.
The killer stabbed her twice from the front.
The first stab landed between her ribs and wasn't fatal.
The killer stabbed her again.
It was parallel to the first stab.
Together, the wounds measured 12 centimeters long.
When her body was found...
she had a knitting needle,
and a half-knitted sweater for her grandchild.
Wu Zheng's wife, Ren Jing
was playing with the two children here.
She had no idea what happened.
Gao Ya'nan did a blood spatter analysis here and reconstructed the scene
in which Ren Jing was killed.
Presumably,
the killer pinned her to the door
and slit her throat from left to right.
A slit of 24 centimeters
that severed all arteries and veins
on both sides.
Gao Ya'nan believed
it took about a minute for her to die from the loss of blood.
She was conscious for at least 30 seconds of that.
It was during that period of time
she witnessed the deaths of her daughter and son
right in front of her.
This is...
That's right.
According to fingerprints,
DNA,
and testimony of a witness,
it all points to the killer being
Guan Hongfeng's twin brother...
Guan Hongyu.
To others, Guan Hongyu is the owner of Hongyu Logistics.
But based on our leads,
his business probably involves profits from drug trafficking.
It's very likely he knew Wu Zheng.
My guess is that they may appear to be partners
but in reality, they were competitors.
Wu Zheng must've known some secrets about Guan Hongyu
which got his family killed.
Guan Hongyu thought
the police had gathered evidence for Wu Zheng's drug smuggling and arrest.
He was worried he might be implicated, so he killed Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng's family happened to be around,
so he decided to avoid any loose ends
and killed them all.
Tongtong,
if your current career arrangement existed six months ago,
I would've supported you and be happy for you.
That's because Hongfeng's crime investigation skills
are top-notch in Jingang.
But you have to know, as a police officer
value is more important
than ability.
I just don't want you to be around that kind of person.
What kind of person?
Guan Hongfeng left the police force but is now back,
pretending to assist us without any remuneration.
Everything he does
is merely to protect someone.
The monster killer.
To him, his brother is more important than his public duty
and being a righteous police.
He's even more important than those people's lives.
Tell me, Tongtong.
What kind of value do you think Guan Hongfeng has?
I don't understand you now.
You knew Yaoji.
You were aware that Yaoji knew Wu Zheng, but you didn't tell me.
I don't know him well.
Must I report everything to you?
You knew the hiding place for the drugs when someone said the goods are damp.
How did you gain such experience?
How much are you hiding?
Tell me,
have you trafficked drug?
You still don't trust me after all.
Let me tell you.
Logistics business is tough.
People management is the key.
That's how I knew who Yaoji and Wu Zheng are.
I knew they're connected.
I knew Wu Zheng did business with my company.
But how would I know what was in them?
I'm in logistics business, not security.
I thought Wu Zheng was a waste collector.
And the drugs' hiding place?
How did you know about that?
Warehouses' information is public information
accessible to the logistics companies.
I know their locations and shipping routines.
I connected the dots and knew.
So?
Drug trafficking?
Yes, I was a rogue in the past.
But I'm not that bad.
On the contrary,
I didn't expect you'd be so underhanded.
-What? -Let me ask you.
What would you do if Shutong died last night?
-There are no ifs. -No ifs?
You're confident.
And Wu Lingling?
As a policeman,
to uphold the law and justice,
we must be prepared for sacrifice.
We're the people's last line of defense.
We have to be fearless
to ensure people's safety.
That's why we're the people's police.
But you, you can't be a police.
Don't mention Lingling.
Let me tell you.
I wish I was the one who died that night.
I'm not afraid to die
or arrest you to attain justice.
So behave yourself.
If I ever find out you did anything illegal,
I'll send you to jail even though you're my brother.
Guan.
Are you home, Guan?
Guan.
Why did you take such a long time?
I didn't hear you.
Your TV is so loud. Do you have a hearing problem?
Why are you here?
Have you seen the DNA result
on Qi Weidong's postmortem report?
Ya'nan just finalized it.
The technical team did a DNA comparison.
The DNA matched Guan Hongyu's.
Guan,
is he still in Jingang?
That DNA isn't his.
What?
Haven't you been asking me if I met Ya'nan in private?
I met Ya'nan at Music Bar that night to talk about my brother.
I bumped into Qi Weidong.
I fought with him.
The DNA on him was mine.
Why didn't you tell us before?
I didn't want you to know I met Ya'nan.
Why not?
My consultant role in the station is special.
You know about my brother's relationship with Ya'nan.
There's nothing secretive
about what I discussed with Ya'nan.
But it's a sensitive topic.
People tend to speculate.
And even if I told you, you wouldn't have believed me.
It's better left unsaid.
Got it.
I thought he found his conscience
and was ready to surrender.
I didn't get to drink the tea last time.
May I have one cup now?
You aren't here for tea.
You think too much about work.
That's why you indulge in food. You eat this much?
It's for Tiger.
Liu...
Where are you going?
Ms. Gao, put the body in the car.
I can't. The body has been moved before.
Removing it will affect the crime scene.
Take it away.
-Are you sure? -Take it away.
Let's go.
-Sir, let's use an umbrella. -Go check out the scene.
-Okay, I'm on my way. -Okay.
Guan.
The scene is a mess. Got any idea?
There will always be clues.
Let's wait for Ya'nan and her team.
-Sure. -Captain Zhou.
It's raining so hard. Would any trace evidence be washed away?
Why are you and Liu here?
It just so happens that today...
Hey, Guan.
What an unlucky place.
Dong Han, is the info reliable?
The police station said it's definitely a murder.
Murder cases are common. Can this be the headline?
Xiaoluo sent me a photo. Look.
Guess whose car this is.
Whose is it?
-Li Disen. -Li Disen?
And the bodies are that of a male and a female.
Male and female?
The promiscuous young Li?
That playboy?
Isn't he dating the blogger, Chang A'ai?
If this woman is Chang A'ai,
-it will be big. -For sure.
But this is such a serious case. Can we even get in there?
I'm sure others can't, but I have a way.
-You have a way? -Watch me.
Be careful.
If anything happens to me, get boss to bail me out.
Sure.
-Be thorough. -Don't worry.
Qian, it's going to take you a long time to sort that out.
Let me help you.
Or shall we shovel this entire piece of earth
and bring it back?
Makes sense.
Gao, go and get a shovel.
Thank you.
Why are you standing here?
You're getting wet.
-Don't catch a cold. -I'm fine.
Come on. Give me a hand.
Let me help you.
Here. Put it all in here.
Hurry up.
Qian, my butt is getting wet.
My goodness. It's cold.
How's it going?
My goodness.
A man and a woman got stabbed by the same weapon.
A stab on the posterior occipital bone pierced through the brain stem.
The female was stabbed twice.
One slashed her carotid artery. The blood spattered everywhere.
The second is between parietal,
temporal, and the sphenoid bones.
That's a fatal stab.
Their time of death is similar, at around 1:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
After they died, their bodies were rearranged.
Parietal, temporal, and sphenoid bones?
It means the temple.
The wing point of the skull plate.
The weakest point of the parietal bone.
Come here quickly, Xiaobao.
I'm coming.
Brother Bao...
The technical team asked me to send this.
They're busy inside. Go quickly.
All right.
Wait a minute.
We're reporters. May we know what's happening here?
We're working here.
Please keep a distance.
We know people died here before. Are the incidents related?
I told you we're working. Please go back.
-Go back. -Tell us more.
People's Republic of China Driver's License
Jingang, Liaobu Township
I am...
You are not.
-Wang. -Yeah?
Take her away.
The weather is awful.
The rain washed out all evidence.
It's going to affect the forensic team's work.
Should we build a tent here?
It's been almost 10 hours.
The impact of the rain is huge.
To us,
the car is not only the crime scene
but also our only evidence.
Get Ya'nan to stabilize the bodies to the seats,
drive the car back, and examine them later.
As of now, it seems that
the victims were killed while they were having sex in the car.
It's highly likely that the killer broke the rear window
and opened the door from inside.
He murdered the victims within a very short time.
But something's not right.
What's not right?
Firstly, the killer rearranged the scene after the murder.
He rearranged the bodies,
clothing, seat cushions, and even the seat positions.
Based on the driver's license,
the male victim is the car owner.
The last location on the car's GPS
is a nearby club called Fire Palace.
They probably went there last night.
By the way,
I found this cellphone between the front seat
and the center console.
It could've been placed there intentionally
by the male victim.
This is priceless.
If this gets out, Guan...
It's all about timing.
You're the best at rubbing salt into the wound.
Take it...
How can you detain me?
Are you in charge? Let me tell--
Sit down.
Just so you know,
I'm a journalist accredited by the National Press Agency.
I have the right to the truth.
You can't detain me.
My agency has a good relationship with your district.
You...
You impersonated a police officer and entered an off-limit crime scene,
leaked important investigation leads,
and violated the victims' privacy.
Does that justify your attitude?
Mark this as a security case.
This is abuse of judicial power.
You're depriving the public of the right to the truth.
You have to explain.
You've sent at least three photos from your cellphone.
Do you know what the killer would do if he sees them?
Let me tell you.
He might destroy the evidence or run immediately.
He might commit more crimes due to your publicity!
If you really don't care, go tell the deceased's family!
