The Thunder
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.
Director Li,
the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Dongshan
Municipal Public Security Bureau welcomes you.
Who talked about the competition of fathers’ privileges?
Should I be included
as one of them?
Director Li,
according to the rules,
you should avoid being involved.
Who investigated Chen Yan?
Me.
And me.
Director Li,
Me, me, I was also there.
You were all there, right?
Where is Chen Yan?
Chen Yan,
did you notify Song Yang
about the drug dealing in the chicken farm, didn’t you?
Yes.
When did you tell Song Yang
that there was drug dealing in the chicken farm?
About 12.
More specifically?
I can’t remember clearly.
Morning? Or afternoon?
May…maybe
in the morning.
Probably.
But, in your cellphone,
there is no
phone call to Song Yang.
I misspoke.
I…made the phone call with a public phone.
On that day, in Song Yang’s cell phone,
there is no phone call record of any fixed number.
Is it you
who notified the thing in the chicken farm to Song Yang?
Chen Yan’s detention period is overdue.
It is exceptional case.
I made an declaration yesterday.
Why did he commit perjury?
When I, I was asleep,
someone slipped a note into my hand,
which tells me to admit notifying Song Yang about the chicken farm,
otherwise,
otherwise my parents would be killed.
You have to save me!
Save my parents!
Please save me!
Save me!
Ming,
Guess where I am?
Are you familiar with this place?
Mr. Zhao, have some tea please.
Please be seated.
Thank you, Mrs Liu
How about it?
Are you familiar with it?
Uncle Liang, what do you want?
Your wife’s art of tea-making is excellent.
And she told me
that your son is about to return home from school.
Uncle Liang,
Leave my son alone.
I beg you.
Since I have come here, I will not leave empty-handed.
Uncle Liang,
I have told nothing but the truth.
I was not lying.
Mrs Liu,
I want to have one more cup of tea.
OK.
Say something.
Liu Huaming,
you leave me no choice.
Your son is about to come home.
Zhao Jialiang,
Zhao Jialiang.
Zhao Jialiang! Please let go of my son!
Zhao Jialiang! Zhao Jialiang!
You deserve a gruesome death!
Jianhua. Director Wang.
You are waiting for me.
Yes.
I have just come back from Vice Chairman Xiao’s office.
Xiao Yide? The CPPCC Vice Chairman ?
Is there any other Vice Chairman in Guangdong
Province with a surname being Xiao?
It’s about Dongshan,
specifically speaking,
about Li Weimin
being appointed to be the leader of the Investigation Group.
How could Vice Chairman Xiao look into this thing?
Someone has made phone calls to report the situation,
saying that sending Li Weimin to Dongshan
is rather inappropriate.
Further it says that our provincial public security department
made a wrong decision.
This is because Li Weimin
has special relationship with Li Fei.
Is there any other reasons besides this?
Who made a telephone call to Vice Chairman Xiao?
He didn’t say.
And I didn’t ask any further question.
They are able to bother Vice Chairman Xiao.
Moreover, as Li Weimin just took office,
they have already made some movements.
It indicates that those two people are very important.
What does Vice Chairman Xiao’s think?
He suggested us,
and stressed that it is only suggestions,
He suggested us to return Li Weimin back here,
lest the media and websites
could find another hyped topic.
The police are the vulnerable group.
So many people want to have a good laugh at us.
Yes!
Now the We-Media is rather developed.
And many people's discontent has been amplified.
They believe that only under the national supervision, can the police
carry out the work.
Of course, this is not a bad thing.
The impartial law enforcement
has to be implemented under people’s supervision.
Hello.
Zhenjiang.
What’s up?
There are a large crowd of people gathering together at Dongshan.
What are they doing?
They are gathering to protest.
Yunbo.
Master.
There are a crowd of people gathering together,
protesting against you being appointed as the leader of the Investigation Group.
It must be last night on the Internet,
those rumors worked.
What measures can you take?
I will get there very soon.
Don’t aggravate the conflict
Don’t take any tough measures
If you don't do something about it,
I'm afraid of an escalation of the issue.
Then it'll be hard to clean up.
Or I'll go to the scene right now
Please listen to me,
you should not come here.
I am here to handle the situation.
I will get in the car right now. I have to hang up now.
Li Weimin, get out of Dongshan!
Make a thorough investigation of the father and
son relationship between Li Weimin and Li fei!
Return the justice to the people of Dongshan!
Li Weimin, get out of Dongshan!
Director Ma.
What is the situation?
The scene is chaotic.
There is no further development,
but the crowd are rather emotional.
I have made the contingency plan.
In case of an emergency,
we will respond immediately.
Do not let a father interrogate his son.
Director Wang.
Li Weimin,
Ma Yunbo says that
you are now heading towards the scene.
Yes.
Out of security consideration,
I do not suggest you go there.
In broad daylight,
they will dare not do anything to me.
Don't worry about it.
I'll keep you posted.
With such a big situation,
Li Fei really can't stop.
If Chief Cai knows about it,
how would he respond.
Don't say such things without facts.
I agree.
What if the people knows about it.
Don't talk nonsense until you find out.
But the downside is not small.
It has been such a big deal.
It’s hard to deal with it. What are you looking at?
Chief Cai!
Chief Cai! Chief Cai!
Please be seated. Sit down.
Open it for me.
Li Weimin, get out of Dongshan!
Hello. Li Weimin
has been appointed as the
leader of the Investigation Group for the May 13 Case,
what do you think of it?
Li Weimin, get out of Dongshan!
Tell the truth of the the May 13 Case!
Make a thorough investigation of the father and
son relationship between Li Weimin and Li fei!
Return the justice to the people of Dongshan!
Li Weimin, get out of Dongshan!
We want the truth, not a lie!
Make a thorough investigation of the father and
son relationship between Li Weimin and Li fei!
Make a thorough investigation of the father and
son relationship between Li Weimin and Li fei!
The public hopes Guangdong Public Security Department
could make a thorough investigation into the May 13 Case.
Take facts as the truth,
and take law as the criterion.
If this is not stopped in time,
I'm afraid it's going too far
and it will be not easy to clean up the mess.
Otherwise, we should first transfer Li Weimin back.
No!
Letting Li Weimin be the leader of the Investigation Group,
I'd been nervous about it.
Now I am rest assured.
Why?
Some people really don't want to see
Li Weimin being appointed in Dongshan.
This means exactly that
we have made the right move.
What are you going to do?
I'm still determined
and never change generals at the last minute.
I want to know
what is indeed going on in Dongshan.
Li Weimin, get out of Dongshan!
Make a thorough investigation of the father and
son relationship between Li Weimin and Li fei!
Make a thorough investigation of the father and
son relationship between Li Weimin and Li fei!
Return the justice to the people of Dongshan!
Li Weimin, get out of Dongshan!
Make a thorough investigation of the father and
son relationship between Li Weimin and Li fei!
I am Li Weimin.
He is Li Weimin.
I am Li Weimin,
the leader of the Joint Investigation Group for the May 13 Case.
Let me first make it clear that
Li Fei and I are not father and son.
You have not gotten permission from the police.
It is illegal assembly.
It must immediately be disbanded.
Additionally,
please trust our public security department
that we will enforce the law impartially!
We will give you an answer as soon as possible!
We want the truth!
Don't believe him!
Do you want the truth?
Yes!
Does everyone want the truth?
Yes!
We want the truth! We want the truth!
I also want the truth!
I can tell you that
the purpose and mission for which I come to Dongshan
is to find out the truth.
Li Weimin is a hypocrite!
He has an affair with Zhong Sujuan!
Li Fei is their illegitimate son!
Don't believe him!
Don't believe him for the truth!
Get out of Dongshan!
Director Li!
We don’t want the father interrogate his son!
We want the truth!
Get out of Dongshan!
Your name is Chen Youquan,
a villager from Heyan Village Fengxi Town.
In 2006,
you were arrested by the public security organ for making drugs
and spent five years in prison.
You were released from prison in August 2011.
Don’t listen to him!
Don’t believe him! Don’t listen to him!
He is involved in drug trafficking.
He sheltered his son. This is a lie!
Don’t listen to him!
We want the truth! Don’t believe him!
We want the truth! Don’t listen to him!
Don’t believe him!
The one with red flag!
Yes you!
Your name is Chen Nansheng.
You are Chen Nansheng, right?
Chen Nansheng,
a villager from Heyan Village Fengxi Town.
You were convicted of smuggling in 2005
and spent seven years in prison.
In April 2012,
You were just released from prison.
Please remember his face!
And you!
The one who is leaving! Don’t leave!
Yes! It is you!
Chen Hang, is it you?
Your name is Chen Hang, right?
A villager from Heyan Village Fengxi Town.
Due to drug abuse in 2010,
you were detained three times by the public security organ
and sent for mandatory drug rehab.
But you refuse to mend your way!
Please remember his face!
Everyone,
please listen to me,
these three people are the organizer
of this illegal assembly!
I don't know who ‘s behind them
for this.
These three men have records,
and for our public security organ, they are
the people being closely watched.
I hope you don't get carried away by their words!
Let me end with a promise:
if our police officer Li Fei involved
in any collusion with the meth cartel,
I, Li Weimin will never condone.
Please believe in me!
Trust our government!
Thank you all!
Just leave!
Please get out the way!
Leave, everyone!
Thank you all!
Who sent you the information about the three men?
I don’t know.
You must have a good talk with these three men.
Yes!
Hi,
Uncle Liang.
You, you…
Your son has come home from school.
Just say hi.
Save me! Save me!
Yukai! Yukai!
Yukai! Yukai! How are you doing?
Please let go of my son!
Don’t touch my son!
I will tell, I will tell you everything!
Please don’t touch my son!
Don’t!
Figured out.
Say it!
Speak!
Hui,
Hui, Hui…
Who is Hui?
His real name is Lu Tong.
He is a Macanese,
who works at Macau Fuxin Casino.
Besides working at the casino, he
sold drugs to gamblers from time to time.
At that time,
it is you, it is you who want me to help you
look for the sources of goods of Dongshan.
I met Hui in Causeway Bay,
and asked him if he knew
anyone involved in drug manufacturing in Mainland.
You know,
Macau casinos are full of mainlanders.
Apart from corrupt officials
and big bosses,
most are drug dealers.
Especially the drug dealers in Guangdong.
Think about it.
Drug dealers make quick money.
So after closing a big deal,
they often head to casinos in Macao to gamble.
Losing millions is a small price to pay.
Continue!
About half a month later,
Hui called me out of the blue,
asking me to meet him in Macau,
and says, says that
he wanted to introduce someone to me.
When I arrived in Macau,
Unexpectedly,
the one Hui wanted to introduce was..
It was Cai Qichao.
When did you come?
Just now.
You look great.
Let’s go for drinking.
Let’s go.
We were inmates.
Although there's little connection after getting out of prison.
I didn't expect that he was the one Hui introduced to me.
So we clicked!
It also saves a lot of trouble.
But, but, Uncle Liang,
I told you about it at once,
I talked about it. I talked about it.
That is all.
That is all. Nothing else. Nothing else.
Uncle Liang, this time I have told the truth.
There is no lie.
Please let go of my son.
So you sold me to Hui.
No! No!
Hui said he had to know
who took orders in Hong Kong.
He was afraid of police fishing.
According to you, it's none of your business.
Then why? When you saw me,
you left in a hurry.
Afterwards, I knew something bad happened to Cai Qichao.
And a policeman died.
I…I'm afraid I can't speak clearly in front of you.
Uncle Liang,
I'm telling the truth!
Please let go of my son! Please let go of my son!
I will verify the story.
I beg you! I beg you!
Please spare my son!
Come here! Say bye to your dad!
Yukai! Yukai!
No! No!
Where are you taking him?
Don't! Please spare my son!
Feng, let me go!
Feng! Feng!
Please ask Uncle Liang not to touch my son!
It will hurt a little bit.
How was my acting?
You are promising.
The truth is that
I wanted to cry.
But I couldn’t,
and I almost laughed.
Why do you hate your father so much?
My mom says he's a drug dealer,
who killed a lot of people.
Is that true?
He is always your daddy.
Filial piety comes first.
But you beat him pretty bad.
You really can be best actor.
In addition,
we had a deal.
Bring it to me.
You have not only the potential of being the best actor,
but also the potential of the second Li Jiacheng.
You need to spend more time with your son.
Or the son will grow up soon.
One, two, one.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, one.
Li Fei,
It's said that you have
the evidence that Cai Yongqiang colluded with drug traffickers.
Let's talk about Lin Shengwen's case first.
On May 7th,
Cai Yongqiang asked me and Song Yang
to receive two collegues from Panjin.
Here they come.
Narcotics Control Brigade of Panjin Municipal
Public Security Bureau in Liaoning Province,
Deputy Chief Zhou.
Chief Jiang.
Nice to meet you.
Li Fei, Song Yang.
Nice to meet you.
In local Panjin, Deputy Chief Zhou
dismantled a drug gang
and seized a kilo of meth.
According to drug dealers,
the meth was bought at Dongshan
two months ago
Deputy Chief Zhou is here this time
to catch the drug dealer who supplied it.
You could cooperate with him.
Ok.
Deputy Chief Zhou, you can talk first.
Please call me if you have something.
OK. Take your time.
Have a seat. OK.
Do you have any specific clues?
Yes.
We have a recording of their dealing.
Have you bought the newspaper?
Yes.
Saner, be quick. Newspaper is their code word.
It means the money.
Brother,
the product seems to be underweight.
The price is higher.
These pieces of newspapers can only buy this quantity of goods.
You can ask someone else.
I will not cheat you.
Fine. No pay no goods.
We are even now.
Let’s go.
Big brother.
Are we getting screwed?
What’s up?
Do you dare to catch up and question?
Fine.
We're on their turf.
I won’t throw my life here for some small money.
Is it worthwhile?
No more nonsense.
Selling these products back in Panjin,
we can make at least such an amount.
Turning that off.
That is all.
For now,
from what we have mastered,
that is all.
Who is the delivering guy?
Wang Er.
There is another person called Heidou.
The ones engaging in such deals dare not use real names.
Chief Jiang, it is not me bursting your bubble,
but now with two nicknames and this recording
and Wang Er you just mentioned
as well as another called Heidou, right, what can we find out?
Yes.
Comrade Li Fei.
You have an impression on this nickname.
Chief Jiang, can you send this recording to me?
Yes.
I will add you on my Wechat.
You must’ve been tired for a whole day.
Song Yang.
Later you can take the comrade from Panjin out
to taste the Dongshan local specialties.
I, I will.
Is it the first time you have been here?
Yes.
It is our first time.
Find a good restaurant.
Our Chief Cai has made it clear. Yes.
Please feel free.
No problem. There is definitely no problem.
What are you going to do?
I'm sending it. Thanks.
I'll go first.
Take care of them.
Three colleagues from Panjin Municipal Public Security Bureau come here.
Did you ask Li Fei and Song Yang to meet them?
Yes.
Why they two?
Because several other main players in the team
have cases.
Only the two of them have time.
Colleagues from Panjin have brought a recording.
I have found the teacher of the former Dongshan Middle School
Lin Shuibo to help.
Mr. Lin.
Li Fei,
I have something to ask for your help.
You can help me listen to it.
Is there anyone you know in this recording?
Have you got the newspaper?
Yes.
Saner, be quick.
Brother.
The product may be underweight.
The price is higher.
These pieces of newspapers can only buy this quantity of goods.
You can ask someone else.
I will not cheat you.
Lin Shengwen, it is fine.
Lin Shengwen,
he was my student.
And we come from the same village.
I
once had a skill.
For hundreds of students, I don’t have to look at their faces,
I can tell who he/she is by listening to the voice.
Does Lin Shengwen have any other nickname?
Heidou.
His classmates called him that.
Please inquire for me
whether he is at home tonight.
I cannot help you with that.
I have been kicked out,
unable to return to Tazhai.
Who can I find out about Lin Shengwen?
Why don't you ask his brother?
Lin Shengwu.
Fine.
Lin Shengwu's wife, Cai Xiaoling
and Chen Ke are besties.
So I asked Song Yang to find Chen Ke.
No, brother.
My big brother Yang,
wake up, OK?
Well, we've been through a lot.
I've never seen you like this even when you go after a drug Lord.
Why don’t you just go?
I will not go.
How can I? What am I supposed to do?
That's your girlfriend.
Bro
let me tell you.
I just lost my love right now.
I'm now as heartbroken as the filling for dumplings.
Could you be more humane?
Can you be high-minded?
Who has not lost love?
This is the first time you lost love.
Came out.
Have you seen
your girlfriend?
Chen Ke.
Your Keke. Hurry up.
I am leaving.
Fine! I will go.
Hurry up.
Hurry up. Hurry up.
Chen Ke.
Keke,
haven't I told you that
you don't have to pick me up.
I know, I know.
I respect you completely.
But today,
there is indeed an emergency today.
How emergent?
I'd like to ask you a favor.
Just say it.
Do you have a bestie named Cai Xiaoling?
Could you call her for me?
To ask her out to dinner tonight.
Keke.
OMG.
Speak up.
Chen Ke, please listen to me, OK?
I really need to talk to you.
must do me this favor, will you?
I really have something important. Chen Ke.
Chen Ke, please don’t be mad.
He's not really messing around.
We are working on cases.
Actually, we just want to ask,
your best friend Cai Xiaoling’s husband,
is he Lin Shengwu?
Yes.
Lin Shengwu has a brother called Lin Shengwen.
We just want to make sure
whether Lin Shengwen is at home this evening or not.
Just this matter.
Yes, this is really something important. I…
Fine.
Let me ask for you.
You mustn't say that it is us who are asking.
She's not a fool.
Only you are smart.
It is needless to say.
Hey.
Chief Cai,
the case handled by Chief Zhou
involves a person in Tazhai Villiage
called Lin Shengwen.
We're targeting Heidou in the recording.
It is Lin Shengwen.
I heard that the next day in the morning, Lin Shengwen
would leave Tazhai.
So we decided to make an arrest that day.
Then I called Cai Yongqiang.
Li fei said there were definite clues
indicating Lin Shengwen of Tazhai Village
is the dealer who sold the drugs to Panjin.
And immediately reported to you.
Is that true?
Yes.
He has been reported.
So where were you while reporting?
On the way to Heyuan.
Tell me about it.
The case in Heyuan is rather urgent.
So I've been setting up operations.
All my attention
has been focused on the case of Heyuan.
Because the case over there has been working for a long time.
It was time to make a closure.
There was a gang of
suspects from Fujian,
who are going to have rendezvous with our targets.
The Fujian guys are responsible for supplying the materials.
Intelligence says they're armed.
So I was on the phone all the way.
Director Shen,
we're gonna do it on your turf tonight.
The targets are three people
probably armed.
So I don't have enough people.
I would like to borrow some special policemen from you.
Please cooperate with me.
Then we should also win the military medals,
one half of the Heyuan Municipal Public Security Bureau.
No problem.
As long as Director Ma said yes.
But Director Shen, I want the crew when I arrive.
Please prepare them for me.
OK.
I have another phone call,
I will hang up now.
Hey.
Chief Cai.
The case handled by Chief Zhou
involves a person from Tazhai Village
named Lin Shengwen.
Hey,
Chief Cai.
I am here.
Chief Zhou brought a recording, didn't he?
There is a person named Heidou in the recording.
Heidou is Lin Shengwen.
Are you sure it's Lin Shengwen from Tazhai?
Yes, I am sure of it.
Are you 100% sure?
Yes!
Tazhai is an anti-drug model village.
There has never been a drug trafficker.
I want 100%.
With this recording, I am able to
bring him back for trial. What’s wrong?
Any questions?
On the phone,
he was very hesitant.
Trapped in dilemma.
This is not his style at all.
Chief Cai,
I have reliable information that
early in the morning Lin Shengwen
take his wife back to the wife’s mother home at Huidong.
I suggest Chief Zhou act tonight.
Get him back.
Hey,
I am now at Heyuan.
If you want to act,
give me a call first.
OK.
When I called him,
he has just left Dongshan.
By time and distance,
he can't get to Heyuan so fast.
But he told me he was already at Heyuan.
Except the one who went to Heyuan along with you,
is there anyone else?
When I was on the phone with Li Fei,
Lin Yuesen was also in the car,
Cai Dabiao,
Zhou Kai,
Chen Shengli.
You can check with them
for the circumstances at that time.
At that time, Chief Cai was asking for people from Heyuan.
And Li Fei was on the phone.
There were many people in the car.
I was next to Chief Cai,
so I could hear their conversation very well.
Li Fei, listen up,
we are just cooperating on this matter,
the main decisions
are made by Deputy Chief Zhou.
Additionally,
on this matter,
Don't talk to anyone on the team yet.
Do you have any questions?
Why did you let Li Fei know
the matter about Lin Shengwen involved in drugs?
Don't tell everyone on the team.
I don't remember I’ve said that.
