Right,
your respected Mr. Guan.
He and you...
Who is it?
Qian?
Mr. Guan?
Shu... Shutong.
You...
Ride with me.
You're not a cop.
Mafia?
Neither.
Favor for a friend.
Wherever you are from,
sir... let me go.
I will repay you someday.
But you see... I'm already here.
You'll be sorry if you don't step aside.
You want to get going?
Don't hold back.
MARTYR LIU CHANGYONG
I believe in you.
I believe you are capable of planning your life.
Dad.
Thank you.
Guan.
I heard the target was you.
You'd have been lying here if not for Liu Changyong.
You're always so lucky.
Every time there is danger,
someone's there to save you.
How are you doing?
It can't feel good to be wrongly accused.
No matter what, thank you. I'm serious.
Thank you for clearing my name.
Everyone wants a peaceful life,
to have a career, a family and children.
Sometimes, though, we have to make sacrifices
so others can live that life.
The district team is family.
We may all have our own opinions,
but we mustn't forget the common goal
we strive towards,
on the front line,
in all supporting duties...
JINGANG HEADLINES
...even in tasks no one knows about.
Liu did his best in his position.
His sacrifice cost us a family member.
Guan, there are some things we need to talk about.
Let's feed the tiger.
Fine. I'll see you at the office.
So the secondary file was hidden in your car.
You read it?
My brother framed me.
So my suspicions are right.
But from what I know of him,
there must be a reason for it.
Speaking of which, even if he did frame you,
why would he do that?
No matter what... Thank you.
-I'm taking the file. -Don't--
I'll give it back.
-Hello? -Guan.
Hurry while it's still light.
I will... Let me finish dinner first.
Why did you set me up?
I finally understand why you dare not go out at night.
You are guilty.
I dare say
I never killed Wu Zheng and his family.
Do you?
Every time there is danger... someone is there to save you.
Captain Guan?
Have you seen Zhou?
-No. Why? -Well,
she inspected some evidence from the 213 murder cases again today.
She asked me
if the toolbox was missing anything.
I called the manufacturer, and there was.
The batch number is here.
Only one thing is missing. The torch.
She seems to think the lost tool is related to the killer.
I'll pass it on to her.
THE PHOTO HAS BEEN VERIFIED TO BE FROM OUR TOOL SET.
THE MISSING TOOL IS A TORCH.
Right.
Your brother... has been arrested by the Bureau.
Can you still not get over it?
Hongyu,
he is your brother.
He must have a reason for framing you.
At this point, you must face all your problems together.
Our child also needs a brave, responsible father
who can see him grow up in broad daylight.
Don't you agree?
I'm here. Where are you?
You're late, Captain Guan.
Traffic's a bit heavy.
Stop playing games, or I'm leaving.
Go one block forward. I have to be sure you weren't followed.
Get out of here!
Wu Lingling took your shot and was killed by a car, right?
Who are you?
Go one block forward, and you'll know who took your gun.
What's wrong with him? Epilepsy?
I don't know.
Makes things easier.
What should we do?
Wait for news. Take him away first.
110? I have a report.
Not picking up?
-Have you found Captain Guan? -No.
You know him?
Who? No, no.
Big Bro, this is for you. Don't lose it.
Are you done, Mr. Guan?
Give me the surveillance footage from today.
Yes, Mr. Guan.
Here you go, Mr. Guan.
-Right. -Take care.
Captain Guan.
You're back, Captain.
Why didn't you pick up?
The firecrackers were too loud.
Did you find the murder weapon?
Gao found it in the trashcan. There's blood and fingerprints.
Captain Guan, the match results.
Who is it?
What?
Show me.
FINGERPRINT CROSS-CHECKING
FEB 13, 23:50
That's so quick.
Listen, Big Bro, I was...
Either turn yourself in, explain yourself, or run.
Hongfeng, I understand how you feel,
but as his direct family,
you must stay away.
Trust me.
I didn't kill anyone.
What should I do?
Big Bro, help me.
Hello?
This is Guan Hongfeng.
What's the holdup?
-Control, B07 calling. -Go ahead, B07.
Traffic jam midway through the tunnel of the Ring Road.
Should we reroute?
-Is it completely blocked? -Yes. Seems like a car accident.
Follow protocol, B07.
Redirect traffic and leave immediately.
Roger that.
Get off.
What is going on?
Get out and help.
Drive forward.
-Don't block the way. -Move.
-Move the car. -Go.
-Hurry... Over there! -Move.
What is this? Move!
-Hurry! -Don't stop here.
Move to the side. Go on.
What is going on? Move!
Hurry.
-Stop! -Stop!
-After him! -Hurry!
Let's go!
-Stop! -Stop!
Stop!
-Stop! -Get him!
Stop!
-Get him! Stop! -Stop!
Stop!
Stop running!
Stop!
Get up.
-It's too dark. -Get up!
Get up!
-I'm sweating. -Captain Guan,
this arrest may not be anything serious.
Don't make it hard for us. Stay in there.
What strength. The door's broken.
Five minutes, no discussion about the case.
Superior's orders, you know, Captain Zhou?
Yes. Open the door.
2001.
Yes.
January 27, 2001.
At around 10pm,
I passed by Fengzhuang Road East on my motorbike.
Most shops were closed,
and people were hurrying home for Chinese New Year.
I saw you for the first time
at the junction not far ahead.
I was a detective on the local team then,
fresh from the academy,
and was still getting used to petty, shameless criminals.
I used violence to deal with everything.
My highest record was injuring a rapist one day,
who hired a lawyer to get a fake witness and a detective from the West Team.
My eyes...
were bloodshot,
my skin was flaking,
and my breath probably stank.
I hated everything but smoking and drinking,
including myself.
I only slept four hours a day.
When I fell into bed, I had to drink myself to unconsciousness,
or I'd feel so hopeless I'd cry.
At that moment,
you arrived on your space rocket
as a seeded player nominated by the Bureau.
You sailed through the ranks
and took over Liu Changyong as Commander of the local team at 28,
while I was suspended for assault.
Liu, who just became Vice Captain,
wanted to demote me to a local station or just discharge me.
I was also considering quitting,
so I just gave up.
I wandered around all day doing nothing at the team office,
waiting to go drinking with my colleagues when they got off.
One night,
I was wandering the streets with a hangover
when I saw you arguing with an old lady selling dustpans,
in a purple scarf that clashed with your outfit.
Half the celebration dinners at Changfeng District Team
were for you in 2001.
The entire police force knew Guan Hongfeng's face.
The old lady said you knocked over her dustpans
and was asking for 50 dollars.
There was a chestnut and sweet potato vendor next to her,
arguing that she slipped on her own
and was trying to scam your money.
They were both so indignant, but didn't move to help you.
You put the dustpans back in the basket
and explained patiently how you came
from the west side of the road from the right,
that you were two meters away and couldn't have done it.
You looked just like an officer from a school textbook,
a poster child
for a campaign on police and civilian cooperation.
You explained for ages,
but she just wouldn't listen,
and eventually started crying.
You stared at that old, thin crook, for a few moments,
before fishing out 50 dollars.
Just as she was about to take it, I walked over.
I stared at her,
and she moved back.
Perhaps because good and bad reputation
could both get you famous,
you recognized me at once.
You pushed the money in her hands, pulled me further forward and told me
that wouldn't help.
I was unimpressed by you, who was my age but outranked me
by two grades.
You didn't judge, just talked about effect,
and it irked me so much.
You probably smelt the alcohol on me.
You said, "Come on, I'll buy you dinner."
The food was good, so was the soup, but there was no alcohol.
It was the first time I didn't drink in a long time.
We got a lot closer over that meal.
When the bill came, I burped and said,
"Your kindness will encourage their rogue actions."
You nodded sincerely
and accepted my criticism.
Then you gave me the leftovers
and said...
"Come find me tomorrow if you still want to be a detective."
I put on my defiant mask with a toothpick between my teeth.
I remember asking you, "Why should I serve under you?"
You didn't answer.
You put your scarf in your bag and said mildly,
"You have no choice."
For the next ten years,
I learnt when to stay put
and when to outflank and attack from you.
I no longer hate everything, including myself.
Two years later, I became North District Captain,
while you were transferred to Longda as Vice Captain.
A year later, you returned to the District
as Captain under the jealous gaze
of Liu Changyong.
Two weeks later, I resigned from the North District Team
and applied a grade lower as your assistant.
Guan,
we've known each other for 15 years.
Without Guan Hongfeng,
I wouldn't be here today.
Fifteen years.
I can't believe we still aren't friends.
