I've found them, including Zhou Xun.
They boarded Bus 108 and are heading to Gao Ying Bridge.
Excuse me. Thank you.
Stop pushing.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Are you crazy?
Sorry.
Don't move.
Don't try anything.
Many people are on board.
There's no telling who'll get shot if the gun goes off.
Guan Hongyu, I can't let you escape every time.
If I wanted to escape, would you still see me in Jingang?
What do you intend to do?
I told you right from the start. I was framed.
I've got some findings.
Okay, then put your gun away first.
Come back with me,
and explain what you've found.
An Ting, the person you killed,
was in touch with whoever framed me.
And that detective who got fired, Ye Fangzhou,
was in cahoots with An Ting.
I suggest you follow up on this lead.
And Wang Zhige?
Wang Zhige could've been brought in at the last minute.
He's not their usual member.
At the last minute?
Yes. Didn't you and my brother crack the kidnapping case?
The news said a kidnapper died.
After that, did anyone look for the hostage's family for a reward?
What do you mean?
Someone who's powerful is behind all this.
So, you mean,
those who killed the kidnapper also killed Wu Zheng and his family
and then framed you for it?
Exactly.
I was surprised by how fast you were
at the stairway that day.
You're pretty good.
Don't move.
How about this?
Let's get off and find a place to fight.
What do you think?
Guan Hongyu, are you afraid?
Don't move.
Stop the bus!
Hi, Captain Liu.
Long time no see.
Ye Fangzhou, come with me.
Take him away.
-Let's go. -Wait.
What is it, Captain Liu? Did I park illegally?
You know what you did.
-Take him. -Move.
Captain Zhou, I've already...
Hey! Hey!
This must be it.
-Hi. Are you from property management? -No, I repair pipes.
-How long have you worked here? -Three or four years. Why?
We came from Jingang to investigate a case.
Have you heard of an aggravated burglary two years ago?
Aggravated burglary?
No, I haven't.
Do you know the owner of unit 201?
I do. He's in his 40s.
I don't know his name, but you can ask my manager.
It's okay. Has he always lived here?
I'm not sure. He's been here before I started.
Thank you.
Hey.
Don't be stupid. You see a hunk and you show your ID?
What are we here for?
To investigate a case.
What are you doing?
Now is the time to show your ID.
Hello. We're from Jingang.
We'd like to ask you some questions.
All right.
But I have classes this morning.
It's okay. There's still time. Come in.
-Thank you. -Welcome.
Have a seat.
You have classes? You are...
-Hello. -Hello.
Dong Qian.
I teach at Jiangzhou Institute of Technology.
Sorry to keep you from your work. I'm Guan Hongfeng.
This is Detective Zhou Shutong.
We're here to verify with you a case that happened two years ago.
September 15th, two years ago...
Yes. Do you remember anything about that day?
Yes, I think I do.
Because our school has a sports event every year on September 15th.
I probably went to school very early that day.
I've been the judge for the track events in the past few years.
What time does the event end normally?
About 4 or 5 in the afternoon. But I don't usually stay until that time.
Because track events usually end before noon,
I'd eat lunch at school
and then leave to give myself half the day off, I guess.
After leaving the school that afternoon...
I went to an antique market on Fa Xi Road.
I remember it's a good market.
That's right. I bought this pot there.
It's an imitation, but the workmanship is exquisite.
About what time did you come home?
What time? I can't quite remember that.
But it's definitely before seven o'clock because I watch the news.
Jiangzhou is a small town. I don't often go online.
So, I watch the news to know what's going on in the world.
You don't sound like you're from Jiangzhou.
Yes, I'm from Shenyang.
But I've been living here for six or seven years.
We've been talking for a long time.
May I ask what exactly are you investigating?
While solving a case in Jingang,
a suspect confessed that on September 15th, two years ago,
he committed aggravated burglary in Jiangzhou.
Aggravated burglary?
Oh, my. Not only have I not heard, but the community hasn't either.
Maybe that guy remembered wrong.
Sir, what do you think?
Mr. Dong.
You have a good taste in wine.
Oh, that's nothing.
It's just a little hobby.
That's my entire savings you're looking at.
It's kind of embarrassing.
I collect red wine,
but I don't drink much of it.
I don't tolerate it well.
Drunkards drink to get drunk,
and they have no taste.
Are we done here?
Mr. Dong has classes.
We'll go then. Thanks for your time.
-Okay. Goodbye. -Okay.
As expected, Hu Qiang was lying.
Mr. Guan, it's your first time here in Jiangzhou, right?
Captain Zhou said we don't need to hurry back.
We can stay two more days to have fun.
You want to have fun when there's clearly a problem?
There's a problem with this case? You mean Hu Qiang...
Did you notice Dong Qian's wine shelf? A whole row of high-end Lafite red wine.
Year 2005, 2002, 2000, 1982.
Even year 1961.
The years when grape production was at its best.
Do you know the market value of a bottle of 1982 Lafite?
-Is it expensive? -At least 50,000.
Year 1961 is worth more.
About 300,000 RMB.
How is that possible for a teacher like Dong Qian?
Maybe he's from a rich family
and doesn't mind spending on a bottle of wine.
But based on the way he collects them, he's missing a bottle from 1990.
Grape production was good that year.
And it was cheaper than year 1982.
Hu Qiang said he hit the victim with a bottle of wine.
You think he was missing the bottle from year 1990 because...
Let me ask you. When was the last martial arts event before graduation?
First few days of June, I think... End of May.
-What time did it start? -Probably 9 a.m.?
What time did it end?
About 2 or 3 p.m.
Where did you go after?
I think I returned to the dorm.
Did you go out again later?
Did you eat at school?
Where did you go after dinner?
I get it now.
It's impossible for Dong Qian to remember it so well.
Hu Qiang didn't lie.
Something happened in unit 201 on September 15th two years ago.
Don't panic. Keep going straight.
Excuse me.
Can you see Spice Village?
SPICE VILLAGE
Turn left.
You two, go to the exit. You, go there.
Go to the second floor.
Turn right. Watch your back.
Come out.
Wait, Zhou Xun's coming.
One glass of soda.
Take your time.
Almost.
What are you doing?
Now.
Can you see SaladHey?
Go out the back door into the alley.
Wait for me there.
Why don't we go separately?
Go check Dong's file at Hongyang District.
I'll wait here until Dong Qian leaves for work
and see if I can break in illegally
to look for some leads.
That last part was a joke.
Mr. Guan, we're not familiar with this area.
Let's stick together.
I'm inexperienced.
What if I overlook something important at Hongyang District alone?
How about this?
I'll go to Hongyang. You stay and watch Dong Qian. Okay?
Mr. Guan.
Mr. Guan, I don't think I'm good at spying...
Okay, let's go together.
I appreciate this.
I'll get going.
One question. Why are you helping me?
Why did you call?
I knew you would help.
I admire you, or rather...
you twins' persistence.
I remember last night on the train,
you said you had a classmate from Jiangzhou, right?
Did you understand her? Can you interpret?
I think what she said was...
they can't let us check.
Okay, I got it.
Don't worry. I'll give Hongyang District a call.
I'll fax a referral letter to them if necessary.
Okay. Guan, we're counting on you.
Okay.
Captain Zhou.
Your name?
Captain Liu. We're in the same field. Skip the formalities.
Just ask your questions.
The same field?
You're really brazen.
We all know how you got fired from the force
in the first place.
You and I...
are not in the same field.
It doesn't matter.
I know the procedure here.
If you don't have questions, I'll go.
You know him?
Isn't that An?
How did he die?
How did you know him?
-We're business partners. -What business?
I supply imported food to west district supermarkets.
He had connections in food quarantine.
You know how it is.
What's his name?
-An Teng. -That's his real name?
I don't know.
Where did you see him last?
At a nightclub on Lianshi East Rd.
About five, six days ago, I was singing karaoke with some guys.
-An came in for a while. -Got his number?
Yes.
-You want it? -Give me the phone.
-Listen-- -It's not necessary.
I know. You have no right to check my phone.
Why did you follow Capt. Zhou?
-Me? -Don't play dumb.
You followed Captain Zhou from Jingang Station to Ningyuan Gate.
It's nothing special.
I happened to see him in trouble and was concerned.
We were in the same unit after all.
At the right time, I may be of help if he needs it.
You happened to?
You're involved!
You don't think we know?
Do you know why Shutong hates you?
It wasn't only because you got another family
and left her and her mother
or that you willfully got her boyfriend fired
but because you're a ruthless old man
who is incapable of communication in every way.
You...
Sometimes I pity you.
Whether it's personal relationships or at work,
you seem to be...
incompetent.
Things aren't working out with Shutong. Now you're interrogating a good citizen.
Heed my advice. Just retire early.
Don't make a fool of yourself in the unit
and be despised.
You...
Well, my dear, the boss is gone.
So, if that's all, I'll get going.
Then leave your number.
I'll contact you if necessary.
And don't leave Jingang for now.
Okay.
Vice Captain Liu.
It's his mobile number.
-Look into it. -Okay.
Vice Captain Liu.
You're not as bad as he said. Don't take it to heart.
Captain Zhou.
I'll give you an advice. Don't do it and you won't get caught.
An Teng was the perfect example.
Dong Qian is from Tiexi District, Shenyang.
He worked at Youwang Chemical Plant for almost 10 years
and moved here six years ago.
-Why did he leave Shenyang? -I don't know.
But a year before he quit, there was a chemical leak at the plant.
Two workers died.
Besides the dead workers' families and the staff on duty,
all received compensation, including Mr. Dong.
The accident report states he was the workshop director.
To be able to settle down in a place like this,
his compensation must have been huge.
Enough to collect expensive wine.
My roommate told me houses here aren't expensive.
It's probably even cheaper six years ago.
He could've bought a house with a bottle of wine.
Was he married?
Yes. He divorced the year he left Shenyang. No children.
His parents moved to Hunnan New Territory two years ago.
Any criminal records or previous convictions?
I don't think there's any.
His background check came back clean.
Get me some water.
Ye Fangzhou
Not answering? Is your boyfriend checking up on you?
Do you need some privacy?
No, it's not that.
Ye Fangzhou.
Yes, you were his superior.
Yes.
I signed his termination papers.
The decision you made then
was the right one.
You two seem so different.
How did you end up with him?
You better stay away from him. He's complicated.
I didn't...
Okay, enough of that.
It's late. Wash up and go to bed.
We'll question Dong Qian again at East Garden tomorrow.
Feng, Hongyu just sent a blank message.
It's to confirm that it's safe to talk. Call him.
-Hello? -Feng, are you okay?
I'm safe for now. I'm at Cui Hu's. How are things there?
Don't worry about me.
Take care of yourself. I'll handle it on my end.
-Hey, I have something to tell you. -What is it?
Zhou Xun got Shutong to watch me.
She used budget as an excuse and booked one hotel room.
I'm sharing the room with her.
Should I try to evade her or beat her at her own game
and use sex appeal to obtain temporary freedom?
This isn't the time for bullshit.
Zhou will get suspicious if you get another room.
As for the second option, I suggest you get Ya'nan's opinion first.
Okay, I understand what you mean.
Don't worry about it.
I'll go to Nanshan Military District nonetheless.
It should be a few hours' roundtrip by car.
How about I head over there tonight?
Let's switch when I get there.
Haven't I told you?
Don't worry about it. Why do you need to come?
It'll be riskier in an unfamiliar place.
How will you lose Zhou Shutong?
She's a piece of cake.
Don't worry. Keep in touch. I'll hang up now.
Okay. You be careful as well.
Keep using the blank SMS.
We'll call you back on a secure line.
Okay, I got it. That's all for now.
You're still awake?
I just thought of a few issues, so I read the files again.
You wear casual clothes to bed?
Go to sleep.
Mr. Guan, CCTV shows Dong Qian left at 5 p.m. yesterday
and hasn't returned.
Have you called him?
Yes, many times, but his phone is off.
Stop knocking.
-Look for CCTVs in the stairway or entry. -Okay.
Only the main entrance and few emergency exits have CCTVs.
That's very careless of them, leaving the door unlocked.
Let's go in.
Close the door.
Mr. Guan.
Shouldn't we contact Hongyang District?
Mr. Guan, nothing seems to be missing here.
Clothes, shoes, and hats are here.
Toiletries, including razor, are still in the bathroom.
It doesn't look like he went out of town or on holiday.
No. This is missing.
Jiangzhou Bureau has ordered Hongyang District's cooperation.
We've checked train stations and outbound flights.
No indication of him leaving Jiangzhou.
But CCTV shows Dong Qian's car passing the Jiangwang Toll
on Ningtung Highway at 6 p.m. yesterday.
We're heading that way now.
Any evidence showing Dong Qian may be involved?
If there's none, isn't it better to leave it to them?
It's their jurisdiction.
I'm afraid it's not as simple as we think.
We may not have direct evidence now,
but the doubts that surfaced from our visit
and his mysterious disappearance after we left,
we need to follow up on those.
How do you want us to help?
Bring Hu Qiang over.
What?
Let him come and identify the scene. I don't think he was lying.
Okay, I got it.
I'll arrange it now.
Continue.
Per the serial number, the pistol you found at the food court
is one of the guns on the decommissioned list.
There's a serial number?
No, but we have the ballistic records.
Is the gun linked to other cases?
No.
It just wasn't disposed of as listed.
The situation reminds me of
Wang Zhige's gun and the one An Teng used.
I almost never heard of cases
where decommissioned guns end up floating around.
You're saying Guan Hongyu...
It's not his.
But wasn't this gun found on the way where Guan was fleeing?
It was his. He didn't need to take my gun when we were on the bus.
If he can have a gun whenever he wants,
why did he take mine, break it, then throw it away?
Then, Captain Zhou,
you mean there were others at the food court?
Liu,
when you intercepted Ye Fangzhou,
he wasn't the only one following me and Guan Hongyu.
Mr. Guan, there are many exits on the way to Nantong.
Our plan is to search along the main roads
and obtain footages of every toll exit.
There's no toll on this exit?
It's an abandoned road to Nashan.
There's another expressway from Zhengyi to Nashan.
That's why this road was not repaired.
Is Nashan a tourist spot?
That was the plan.
There's nothing but hills and tea plantations.
It was never developed.
Keep looking with these officers from Hongyang District.
I'll walk down there.
Let's go together. We're on the highway.
It's dangerous for you to be walking alone.
I can't even pick you up.
How about you two take one car and head down?
We'll take the other car and search the roads.
Let's keep in touch.
Okay, thank you.
No problem.
Mr. Guan, why do you insist on going in that direction?
I don't know.
Dong Qian left home without any luggage or money.
Just a bottle of wine.
Let's go.
This Ye Fangzhou.
I'm not sure just what he's involved in.
But I still think...
he and Guan Hongyu are in cahoots.
Guan Hongyu might have another reason
for tossing the gun.
Actually,
Vice Captain Liu,
the prints on the gun weren't Guan Hongyu's.
Whose are they?
We're still screening.
Guan has new developments in the Jiangzhou case.
I need to go there.
We know now there are people trying to find Guan Hongyu, just like us.
They may even want to kill him.
Also, that gun wasn't tossed there for no reason.
Guan Hongyu broke through tight blockades over and over again.
He's not alone.
Yesterday,
two of our teams took turns to monitor Ye Fangzhou around the clock.
From when we started the chase,
Ya'nan was also under surveillance.
Guan Hongfeng and Tongtong are in Jiangzhou.
Who else is there?
I'm not sure.
But someone is helping him,
and he's a pro.
JUSTICE DEDICATION INTEGRITY EFFICENCY
Ya'nan.
It's as if we're in a class warfare every time you see me.
Every time you come here,
you either send me a dead body or ask for autopsy reports.
Neither of those makes me happy.
Go ahead. What is it?
Nothing. I just want to treat you to a meal.
Just say it. No need to get on my good side.
Do you despise me that much?
You let Liu Changyong take your place in that department.
I want to discuss something.
It's about the baby.
Did something happen between us?
Your pregnancy is not a secret. The whole world knows.
Your tummy's getting bigger.
It's probably seven to eight months now.
Have you thought about maternity leave?
In your situation, bearing a child out of wedlock,
you won't get it approved under normal procedure.
If it doesn't get approved, I'll just quit.
Don't be like that. Don't worry.
I'll find a way.
We can't push you over the edge like that.
Then I'll thank you in advance.
Fine, you mock and ridicule me.
But I hope you'll understand.
You're part of our unit.
Protecting you and catching Guan Hongyu
are my duties to fulfill.
See you.
Zhou Xun.
-I can't figure you out. -What?
I don't know if you're an upright policeman
or a hypocritical asshole.
The invitation's still valid. Meet me after work.
But since we're on the subject...
I can't figure you out either.
Is Guan Hongyu really worth it?
What are you looking at? Do your work.
The tires are at least 20cm wide and more than 1.2 meters apart.
What does he drive?
It's an Audi A4L.
Let's go this way and see.
Why do you think Dong Qian would...
I'm very confused.
-I have no idea what we're doing. -That's why we must find this person.
Based on the records, Dong Qian led a very normal life.
Just because we came from Jingang to pay him a routine visit,
he made this unusual move.
Whatever truth is behind this, it seems to be something scandalous.
Being scandalous may not be too far from being illegal.
Is this your shrewd sense as an old detective?
Old detective? I'm still young.
Anyway, Hu Qiang cracked open someone's head two years ago.
It has to be explained.
Which way should we go?
Which way?
That way.
Mr. Guan, we can't even see the tire impressions.
-Yet you-- -What tire impressions? The car's there.
