To Beijing?
What about Li...? Deputy Director FuHao of the Ministry of Public Security
asked us to go to Beijing right now.
Zhenjiang is already on his way to Zhongshan.,
He will cooperate with Zhongshan Public Security Bureau
to guarantee the security of Li Fei.
We don’t have much time left. Leave at once.

Give this to Li Fei.
Messy?
Perfect!
Question me.
We are not doing it today.
This is, for you.
That one you chose is too oldish.
This one, look at this one.
This one is fashion and it makes you look so young.
No, no, no.
That one is all the same as the clothes at home.
Shh...
You listen to me, it’s too oldish for you.
Look at this one, this one.
It’s really fashionable.
No, no, I don’t like it.

Look, look, look.
Isn’t it great? Doesn’t it look young?.
Isn’t it fashion?
Is it? Turn around and have a look.
Have a try.
Try it.
This one, just this one.
Uncle Li,
I spend my first salary to buy you clothes.
So is it up to you or me?
Me of course.
I pay for it, so you must listen to me. Go, go, go.
Just have a try.
So,
Does Uncle Liang’s tea taste good?
No, please.
Please, no, no.
Cai Qirong and his brother both died.
The cops got the meth in the chicken farm.
Do you think I would be too stupid
to recognize the informants for the cops?!
Uncle Liang, uncle Liang, uncle Liang.
I’m notneither a cop,
nor an informant.
or a spy.
Who asked you to come to Uncle Liang?
Who is your boss?
There is no boss,
No informant.
How did the cops know this deal

Zhixiong, Weimin.
Sir. Welcome.
Ok. Deputy Director FuHao
really asked to see me?
Hard to believe.
You Li Weimin can be nervous?
Indeed.
I’m really nervous.
Go, go, let’s go. Please.
Welcome.
This is the component identification report of the methamphetamine
from the Narcotics Control Bureaus
of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Anhui
in the last half year.
The drug traffickers all committed that
these drugs are mostly produced in
Longping, Dongshan in Guangdong.
In 19909 and 2011,
Longping, Dongshan
has twice been supervised by the State Narcotics Control Commission
to deal with the drug problem.
In the recent 4 years,
the meth produced in Longping, Dongshan
has soared in the country’s anti-drug market,.
rising from 14% to 16%
Aand then to 33.4%.,
aAnd for now,
it’s over 40%.
The data is shocking.
Besides, according to reliable information,
the drug producers and traffickers in Longping
not only expand the domestic market,
but also
use the funds and channels of
overseas drug trafficking organization
to smuggle drugs abroad.
All these lead to one question.
There is an underground drug production hideout
with an appalling number of production
Iin Dongshan of Longping.
No, no, no,
it shouldn’t be called as a hideout with such high outputs,
more specifically,
it should be called a production base.
Actually,
Our ministry and Guangdong Public Security Department
has launched six joint drug control operations
against Dongshan, Longping.
Besides of the ten more large or small
drug control operations
carried out by the Guangdong Public Security Department
and Longping police.
The last operation
was planned by Weimin and meI.
Weimin,
please brief the case.
Director FuHao,
Our last action
is not so successful.
Actually, we wanted to conduct a distribution and control operation
to find out
the drug production and trafficking bases
in Dongshan and Longping.
So...
tThe purpose of the ice-breaking fishing operation
you showed me last time
was not to catch the drug traffickers
Bbut to attract the snakes out of the hole.
Yes.
Good script.
Except that...
tThe show was messed up.
Something went wrong.
The fish didn’t bite the hook.
I was worried that the accident was just the beginning.
Every time after our action,
the drug traffickers become more aggressive.
Why?
Besides the poor law enforcement and inaction
of the local government and political-legal department,.
I think,
the criminals have nobbled
some corrupt government officials to
Pprotect their chain of interests.
Anybody here?
It’s been a whole night, anybody answers me?
Where is Li Weimin?
Anybody here? Director Cui.
Anybody answers me?
I’m here.
I want Li Weimin.
Besides Li Weimin,
who else do you believe?
Ma Yunbo.
Ask Ma Yunbo to be here.
You believe in Ma Yunbo
Bbecause you have saved him.
Am I right?
Can you get me them or not?
According to Ma Yunbo,
You’ve told him before
that you suspect Cai Yongqiang, the captain of Narcotics Control Bridge
is in collusion with drug producers.
I have proof.
Situation in Longping,
and Dongshan,
is unique in the whole country.
The arrogance of criminals
is beyond our imagination.
Safety of the people
cannot be guaranteed
until this excrescence is eliminated.
Director Jianguo put forward a plan.
Starting from the May 13 cCase,
we immediately organize the Ministry of Public Security
and the Guangdong Provincial Public Security
Bureau to set up a jJoint iInvestigation gGroup
and enter Dongshan tomorrow.
This jJoint iInvestigation gGroup
will enter Dongshan aiming at Li Fei’s case.
In this way, it won’t be too noticeable.
And if well operated,
it can be the path breaker.
Deputy Director Hao,
I’ve discussed with Director Zhixiong
that our Narcotics Control Bureau
will send Director Zuo Lan and Deputy Director Su Kang
to join the iInvestigation gGroup.
Considering that this action is taken in Guangzhoudong,
and Li Weimin,
as the Deputy Director of Guangdong Narcotics Control Bureau,
knows quite well about the situation of Drug Control in Guangdong
as well as Li Fei himself,
so, Director Zhixiong and I both recommend
Li Weimin as the head of jJoint iInvestigation gGroup
and Zuo Lan as the Deputy Lleader.
Li Weimin,
I know that you have a close relation with Li Fei.
Theoretically,
you shouldn’t take part in this investigation,
but,
Director Jianguo strongly recommended you.
Director Zhixiong
on behalf of Guangdong Provincial Department.
recommended you as the leader of the iInvestigation gGroup too.
Director Zhixiong,
just arrived in Guangdong to take up the office.
This will be his very first tough
and extremely important mission in Guangdong.
I have to help him,
and stand for him.
Therefore,
I invited you here to Beijng
to meet you personally.
Li Weimin,
Tell me yourself,
that you could be
impartial
and selfless
in this investigation.
Director Hao,
Please rest assured.
If Li Fei
is part of the drug production and trafficking organization,
I will never relent.
If anyone in the public security system
is an accomplice in the drug production and trafficking organization,
I will never stand by.
I solemnly assure you that
whoever he is and in whatever field,
doing whatever for a living,
as long as it is related with drugs,
I, Li Weimin,
Sshall show no leniency.
Director Li,
Yunbo,
Welcome.
Let me introduce.
This is Director Zuo Lan from Narcotics Control
Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security.
Director Zuo.
Deputy Director Su Kang.
Director Su.
Deputy director of Dongshan Public Security Bureau.
Ma Yunbo.
Welcome.
Welcome to Dongshan.
Please.
This way.
That’s all about this case
right now.
Director Ma,
I heard that,
Your relationship with Li Fei is also unusual.
How is that also?
If you can say that mutual trust
is also a special relationship.
Then, yes.
I trust Li Fei
because he has saved my life.
You are talking about the case three years ago.
Well, Director Zuo,
you know quite well about the situation.
Please don’t misunderstand, Director Ma.
I just saw it
when I looked through the background information.
Well in this way.
I can give you more details
about what happened that time.
I was the director
of the first investigation office of the Narcotics Control Bureau.
Li Fei is my apprentice.
At that time,
we were on a mission in Shantou, Guangdong.
Police!
Run!
Everybody run!
Run!
This way!
Quick!
This way!
Don’t move!
Watch out!
Li Fei!
Some police was shot!
Ambulance!
So,
Li Fei
and I are Damon and Pythias.
Li Fei!
From that day on,
I trust Li Fei on no condition.
And he trusts me as well.
No question that Li Fei said
that in the whole Dongshan Public Security Bureau,
he only trusts you.
I believe that Director Li
must have already heard this story.
Most police officers at front-line are Damon and Pythias to each other.
Stories like this are not rare.
Li Fei.
The Ministry of Public Security and Guangdong Provincial Department
have set up a jJoint iInvestigation gGroup
for your case.
You must cooperate with them,
and tell everything clearly
to the jJoint iInvestigation gGroup.
Director Cui.
Xuechao.
This is on you now.
Trust me.
I assure you that I will send Li Fei
Ssafely to Director Li.
Bye Sir.
Yes.
Considering the relationship between Li Fei and me,
I shouldn’t get involved.
I believe Director Ma will favor nobody.
You are now the leader of May 13 Case.
Deputy leader.
The leader is Director Luo Xu.
Sorry.
Director Li, Director Zuo.
The city government is holding
a press conference about May 13 Case.
I’m the spokesman.
I have to go there now.
Press conference?
Leaders of the municipal party committee attach great importance to
the May 13 Case.
People are focusing on this case.
We have to do our work in advance.
Please rest assured.
I know what to do.
Goodbye, Sir.
Sorry
for keeping you waiting.
Today is a special press conference
for the May 13 Case.
The Ministry of Public Security
and the Guangdong Public Security department
attach great importance to May 13 Case,
and are highly focusing on
the Ddrug control job in Dongshan.
They have set up a jJoint iInvestigation gGroup
to Dongshan.
This case
also makes us realize
how long the drug control work
will be.
It’s a people’s war full of barriers,
blood,
and even sacrifice.
It also shows the complexity,
difficulty and longevity
of the drug control and enforcement work.
I firmly believe, however
that with our enforcement police who fears no sacrifice,
and with people
who hate drugs to the bones,
this war against drugs
will finally reach a complete victory in the end.
Thank you!
Director Ma...
Please abide by discipline.
Please explain it.
Li Fei,
The Jjoint iInvestigation gGroup now question you according to the law
about the May 13 Case.
You must answer truthfully
according to the fact.
You shall not conceal and fabricate anything.
Or you will bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
Tell us about your basic information and your family.
Li Fei,
tell us about your basic information
and your family.
I have one condition.
I know who is the informant,
I don’t want to be questioned by them.
After I goet back,
I will answer only your questions.
Considering that you are injured now,
I will repeat the basic information
on your files for you.
This is a necessary procedure.
If anything is not the same as
what it is on the material,
you can interrupt me at any time.
Your mother, Zhong Sujuan,
sacrificed in August, 1989.
Your father Li Jianzhong,
missing in August 1989.
3Three years ago, you applied to the people’s court
to declare him dead.
Your grandmother Lin Qiaoying,
died of illness 3 years ago.
You got no other immediate family right now.
You graduated from the Department of Investigation of Guangdong Police Academy
and got your bachelor’s degree.
After graduation, you have been assigned to the
Narcotics Control BrigadeDrug Control Brigade
of Dongshan Public Security Bureau to work so far.
In Zhongshan,
the two people who caught me,
who are they?
My informer.
They risked their life to save you.
Now, they will never be able to show up in Dongshan,
even in the whole Guangdong.
That is the cost to save you.
You should understand.
Keke.
I am now the leader of the jJoint iInvestigation gGroup
for the May 13 Case.
My brother was wronged.
If Chen Yan is wronged,
we will prove him clear.
I want to see him.
Let me see Chen Yan.
You cannot see him now.
My brother is wronged.
He didn’t traffic drugs.
Please cooperate with us for investigation first.
In this way we can clear him
as soon as possible.
Chen Ke.
Yunbo
Come to my place now.
And take the interrogation record of Chen Yan with you.
Ok.
You said you have the evidence of Cai Yongqiang
colludeing with drug traffickers.
I have a question.
What question?
Chen Yan’s case.
is unusual.
You know his case.
When did you know it?
How did you know that?
I’ll tell you nothing
until Chen Yan’s case is clear.
Boy!
You really think you are the smartest in the world?
I’m using my Dad’s
fruit island company as a cover
for drug smuggling.
How does that relate to Li Fei?
Li Fei took 20%
of every business.
What about the Beishan chicken farm of Nanjing Village?
Beishan chicken farm
of Nanjing Village
is a trap we set for Song Yang.
Be more specific.
There is something wrong about Chen Yan.
Chen Yan was immediately brought back
from Shaoguan for the trial the day he was arrested.
He does look tired.
Testimony doesn’t make sense.
Why?
There was no nitrate smoke reaction detected out of Song Yang.
Which means that he didn’t shoot.
Master,
Master.
I promise,
there is no violation of discipline.
How did you and Chen Ke know each other?
Why do you ask that?
It’s directly related to this case.
You,
Song Yang,
and Chen Ke,
What relationship exactly is between the three of you?
One year ago,
when I was catching the drug trafficker,
I jumped off the third floor
and broke my leg.
I stayed in the hospital for three months.
Chen Ke
was a nurse there.
Chen Ke, right?
Do you have a boyfriend?
I mean,
If you don’t have one,
do you mind me being your boyfriend?
Aren’t you ashamed?
It’s too straight forward.
Aren’t you ashamed?
Sorry, Chen Ke.
My friend is all good,
except that his brain got an injury beforedoesn’t work well.
But I can assure you that
there is nothing wrong with his health.
You are talking too much. Take your temperature.
What are you doing?
Your feet is limping, is your hands limping too?
Do it yourself.
Ok, ok, do it myself.
Sorry.
Sorry, sister- i-n law.
Listen to the doctors.
Have a good rest.
Do not talk too much.
If we don’t talk...
What can we do?
Sleep.
Listen to my girlfriend.
Did she agree?
Didn’t she agree?
Did you agree him?
So...
Song Yang chased after Chen Ke,.
Aand fell in love at first sight.
When did you
confirm your relationship with Song Yang.
What are you writing?
Queit, stay, don’t move.
What are you writing?
I’m writhing my self-introduction here.
When Chen Ke comes,
she will see.
What’s wrong with you, Song Yang?
How will it work writing on my leg?
You should tell her directly.
This is like I’m professing my love to her.
Stop it.
I just got a new one.
I told her last time.
She didn’t answer me.
What should I do? You tell me.
Now you know.
I told you last time,
don’t be too direct.
If you want to say something,
say it directly. Time for drug change.
My name is Song Yang,
single, police,
good character and sense of responsibility.
I like you very much.
Hope you can consider me.
Who wrote this?
Scribbling and painting.
Do you know what place this is!
Li Fei.
I told you,
not to
not to write here, you don’t listen to me.
Is that it? You don’t listen to me.
Yes, yes, yes, it’s me. I wrote it.
I am professing my love to you.
Did you see that?
Can I?
What are you talking about?
Who do you like?
Stop being garrulous.
Take your temperature.
I can do it myself.
Jealous of me.
He will kill me.
Keke.
I...
Can I call you Keke now?
Of course not.
After Li Fei left the hospital,.
We were still good friends.
Sometimes,
Li Fei will also pick me up from the hospital for Song Yang.
My co-workers at the hospital are kidding that
he is my back-up plan.
What do you think about that?.
We are just good friends.
So...
There’s nothing between Li Fei and you.
You are just friends.
So...
Chen Ke and you are just friends.
There is nothing between you.
Sir.
Come in.
Director Li.
We went to the fruit shop run by Chen Yan’s family.
We found a monitor
opposite to his house.
This is the tape video.
That night when the light was off.
Chen Yan and Chen Ke’s parents
were taken by these people.
and have not returned yet.
Who are they?
We don’t know yet.
Chen Yan may have been threatened.
Li Fei
has a very strong backing.
Although he cannot rely on his own father,
he can depend on his sugar daddy.
What can I say?
Don’t complain!
Chief Chen,
how can that be a complaint?
Where should he belong to?
Us, Criminal Investigation Brigade.
Now it turns out that
he went for his sugar daddy.
And his sugar daddy took him in.
