The Thunder
Shengwen is dead.
Shengwu
ran away and disappeared,
but we’ll not leave you without provision.
After all, we all share the same surname.
A nation has its own law.
So does our family.
Today, we open our ancestral hall.
Lin Shengwen from the third branch of the family,
broke family rules.
We have to punish him.
Uncle Hui.
Uncle Hui, Uncle Hui.
Don’t do this, please, Uncle Hui.
It’s all my fault. Shengwen is too young to understand these.
It’s me. I didn’t discipline him well.
You three are elders with high prestige in the family.
Please forgive him. It’s all my fault.
I beg you please.
Please. Shengwu.
Shengwen disgraced all villagers.
Even if all villagers can forgive him,
the family rules are forbidden to be broken.
Uncle Hui.
Please say something to help us, Uncle Hui.
Shengwu,
we have to adhere to the rules.
Please show your mercy.
Please.
Uncle Dong, please show your mercy.
Uncle Hua, please.
Uncle Hui, please.
From today. Please show your mercy.
The name of Lin Shengwen
Will be erased from the family tree.
His lover
who works at a Lin’s plant
will be fired.
His child
cannot go to schools
and kindergartens opened by the Lin’s.
His daughter
cannot marry any man from Tazhai.
We will take his
shrimp pound back
within three days.
Lin Shengwen shall move out from Tazhai,
and never come back again.
You are pushing him to death.
How could he survive?
Uncle Hui.
Xiaolin.
Uncle Hui.
Who are you calling?
Chen Ke.
My best friend.
Chen Ke’s boyfriend is named Song Yang,
a drug enforcement cop.
Li Fei, his colleague
shot him to death.
They caused Shengwen’s death
and made Shengwu escaped.
Stay away from them.
The most important thing for you now
is to take care of yourself and your baby.
How about Tiantian and Niuniu?
They are
with my mom and sis’.
Don’t think too much.
Shengwu will come back sooner or later.
Uncle Hui.
About Lin Shengwen’s death,
what do they think?
Suicide.
I talked with Director Ma for this.
What did he say?
For the conclusion made by Criminal Investigation Brigade,
he also has different opinion,
but cannot find any evidence to prove
that Lin Shengwen was killed by others.
So he had to agree with the suicide.
So
all of these is you assumption
without any evidence?
Shortly after Lin Shengwen’s death,
Song Yang went through those things.
This is not an accident
but arranged by someone.
Evidence?
You’re too cold-blooded.
It’s meaningless for you to be so emotional.
Then what is meaningful?
Fact.
Tell us how Song Yang was shot.
In the morning of May 13 ,
Song Yang got a letter. Song Yang,
here’s your letter.
Thank you.
Several nude photos are in that envelop sent by Bao Xing,
who blackmailed Song Yang for 100,000 yuan.
Who’s nude photo?
Nude photo of Bao Xing and Chen Ke.
Have you seen those photos?
No.
Song said he teared them into strips.
Who’s Bao Xing?
My classmate in university.
At that time,
he courted me.
But I didn’t accept him.
He still did that for some time after graduation.
Then we lost connection.
Have you seen those photos?
Song Yang
Don’t go.
It’s meaningless.
I have to let him know that
you cannot be offended.
Keke
I love you.
Who knows
that was the last time I saw him.
I told Song Yang
to ignore this.
In order to help Chen Ke
Song Yang went to Bao Xing.
When he called me,
I realized that this was a trap.
When I reached the chicken farm,
I found out no one was in Song Yang’s car.
So I went into the farm,
and saw Song Yang and Cai Qichao were bound.
Then I was
ambushed by three criminal suspects.
Cai Jie knocked me out,
but the gunshot woke me up.
I saw Cai Jie shot Cai Qichao and Song Yang.
Are they the three people
who fought with you?
Yes.
I knew Cai Jie.
I seized him in drug enforcement.
But I don’t know the other two.
Yesterday you said
When Song Yang called you,
you realized that it was a trap.
Why did you still go alone?
The last thing he said to me was
someone from Nanjing Village was in our team.
someone from Nanjing Village?
Who?
Cai Yongqiang.
So you suspect he is relevant to this trap?
First, when Song Yang and I just went through that accident,
Cai showed up in the farm immediately.
Put the gun down!
Second, when I just woke up in the hospital, someone wanted to kill me.
He failed and ran away.
Then the man showed up immediately
is Cai again.
Li Fei.
Don’t move.
Cai, you suspect me?
According to the DNA report,
the blood on the half brick
is the same with Cai Jie’s sample.
According to autopsy report,
Cai Jie was beaten by a sharp thing in his front head,
leaving a triangular
sagging comminuted fracture.
We found brick dust in his wound.
That proved that
before Cai Jie was shot,
he had indeed hit by a brick.
Yeah.
We found on Cai Jie’s neck and arms
had bruise,
and blood spots under the skin.
It means before Cai Jie died,
he had fight with other.
We also found
similar bruise on Li Fei’s arms and blood spots under the skin.
These match with what Li Fei said.
And
We found
on the gloves of Cai Jie and another dead
some residual nitrocellulose.
But on Song Yang and another dead,
we found no residual nitrocellulose.
So besides Li Fei,
Cai Jie and another dead used guns.
Cai Jie wore white gloves.
If he works at the chicken farm,
There’s no need to wear them.
What you said
cannot clear
Li Fei as a suspect.
Suppose Li Fei, Cai Qirong and Cai Qichao
are not accomplice,
we cannot completely deny that Li Fei
and Bao Xing are.
Bao Xing is still missing.
According to Li Fei’s testimony,
Bao Xing was not on the spot.
What’s the relationship between Cai Jie and you?
Which Cai Jie?
Who else is Cai Jie?
The one in May 13 Case.
He was seized for drug trafficking,
but was bailed later.
That’s all?
Yes.
Cai is Cai Qichao’s
close cousin.
When Cai Jie whom I beaten to death
was seized,
he said that he knew my superior
and hinted me that Cai will punish me.
Recently, Cai Jie got married.
Cai Yongqiang attended his wedding without
avoiding anything that may arouse suspicion.
Have you attend his wedding ceremony?
Yes, I did.
Because he put in my son’s backpack
20,000 yuan.
On his wedding,
I have to give that money back.
How many times did he bribe you?
When?
Too many to remember.
You rejected all?
Do you have any evidence to prove I take that money?
Cai, mind your manners.
So Cai Qirong, Cai Qichao and you
are you relatives?
Dongshan is a small place.
We all share the same root, not just us.
There is a drug dealer in my relatives.
But you cannot punish all just because of one is.
Li Fei.
All what you said are
suspicion and assumption toward Cai Yongqiang of you and Song Yang.
That cannot prove that Cai Yongqiang and Cai Jie
had some factual deal.
I want to ask you,
in that farm
did you find any drug?
Yes.
40kg methamphetamine.
Just 40kg.
But at the cost of a life.
Li Fei.
You shall be responsible for what you said today.
Are you clear?
All I said
are facts.
Chen Ke.
We checked your brother’s case.
He is innocent.
Your parents were trapped to another city.
But we took them back already.
Stairs.
Where’s Li Fei?
Li Fei.
He’s gonna stay here for some time.
I wanna see him,
for the sake of Song Yang.
Chen Ke.
I know your feeling,
but Li Fei is forbidden to see anyone now.
This is discipline.
If we find Bao Xing
we can find who killed Song Yang, right?
He’s the key.
Bao Xing has a girlfriend.
Her name is Yang Liu.
She was my classmate too
in Zhongshan.
Chen Ke,
could you please do me a favor?
Anything.
Allow me to finish what I want to say.
You know.
Between we and drug dealers,
among them
we have our own spies.
Vice versa, in our team,
it’s inevitable to have their spies.
The reason why we cannot seize Bao Xing is
maybe someone in our team
told this to Bao Xing.
So,
So I’d like to
ask you for a favor.
Keke.
Mom.
Keke.
Dad.
Keke.
So good to see you back.
Dad.
So good to see you back.
Li Fei
must hide something important from us.
You mean he
strongly suspect Cai Yongqiang?
My boy.
He has his own idea since childhood.
He told Cui Zhenjiang that he had evidence.
But we asked him for such a long time.
All is his suspicion.
No evidence.
I still remember what he said at the beginning of inquiry.
Li Fei.
I heard that you
have evidence to the deal between Cai Yongqiang and drug dealers?
Let’s start with Lin Shengwen’s case.
He seems to be confident and logic.
From the very beginning, he led us.
Normally, we are the panel of May 13 Case.
But he began from Lin Shengwen’s case.
He is on purpose.
Let he says what he wants to say.
Boss, boss.
Boss, boss, please don’t kill me.
Boss.
Boss, please.
I
Boss, please let me go.
Boss, please.
I haven’t told your things to Zhao Jialiang.
I trust you.
I will make you die quickly and peacefully.
Boss.
I am so loyal to you.
Please let me go, boss.
Boss.
Thank you for your loyalty. Please let me go.
Boss, boss.
Boss.
We got the goods.
Very safe.
Don’t worry.
It will enter into market tonight.
I will let the whole Europe know that
Made in China stands for quality.
How’s it?
Does my hunger strategy work well?
Yeah, of course.
We just stopped supplying for half a month.
But our interest increased by 10%.
It can’t be more useful anymore.
When the deal is done,
you can come here.
I will treat you generously.
Sure.
Boss, the most auspicious one.
Lit license.
Boss Zhu,
people from Dongshan delivered some meth.
It arrived yesterday.
How do you know the date?
They stopped supplying for half a month.
No one can find meth before.
But from today, you can have as much as you want.
Are you sure that the meth is from Dongshan?
A hundred percent sure.
I just tried.
The purity and quality are perfect as usual.
You sure?
Absolutely.
My nose is better than urine test machine.
Do you know which port they get in?
Meth in the mainland and Hong Kong
are imported from either Marseille or Le Havre.
How about you?
It has been months.
But no news.
I'm ready for it.
Waiting for your meth.
Oh my. The day I just met the supplier,
cops came in.
Everything is ruined.
I will tell you if I have news.
Boss Zhao,
are you kidding me?
What kind of deal we are doing if you have no meth?
Boss Zhao,
I’ve already knew it clearly.
I knew the supplier of French market.
I want to replace him.
Don’t you wanna take the whole French market?
You jerk.
Talk after you think clearly.
Weimin,
Yesterday, French clients
imported some meth from China.
Could you use your source to
let French cops to check
the Chinese cargo ship entered from Marseille and Le Havre
yesterday.
Are there cargo ships of Hong Kong Haoyu Group?
It’s not easy. I need some time.
Please check this for me.
About 28 to 30 days ago,
from Shenzhen Port,
Shantou Port,
Zhongshan Port,
and Zhanjiang Port,
the four ports.
Ships headed to
Marseille and Le Havre, France.
Please check the domestic ship number.
Is there any ship of Hong Kong Haoyu Group?
30 days ago.
Yes.
From April 15 to 19.
Tell me the result as soon as possible please.
All right.
I do it now.
How is Li Fei?
He’s safe.
Is there a connection between the May 13 Case and Lin Shengwen’s case
with Li Fei?
Yes.
Tell me more.
Li Fei.
Why you certainly said that
the two cases are connected.
If you can’t prove it,
You’ve been a police for so many years in vain.
You should know the importance of evidence.
I told you all.
Nothing left.
Please open the door.
Let’s have a talk?
We’ve talked about this for days.
What else can we say?
Is there anything you didn’t tell me?
No.
You’re not good at lying since young.
I can see it at the first sight.
Do you find Bao Xing?
Soon.
Let me find him.
Do you think is it possible?
Feifei,
now I
am talking to you in the name of myself.
Song Yang’s death is not your fault.
Now I am telling you
it’s useless to blame yourself.
He died in front of me.
But you kept me here as a suspect.
And now you’re telling me self-blame is useless.
How could you?
What makes me think so?
Ha, what do you think?
Because I’m more experienced than you,
I went to more battlefronts than you,
and I saw much blood than you.
Your mom is my comrade-in-arms.
That’s why I say this.
Your mom passed away in front of me.
Before you find BX and clear me as a suspect,
you won’t trust anything I said.
Feifei,
if you don’t tell me what you knew,
I cannot help you then.
Director Li.
We decided to change a breakthrough point.
See if we can,
from the relationship of Li Fei and Cai Yongqiang
find a break.
It’s not good to force him.
You cannot do it.
Since Li Fei doesn’t want to say,
we’d better let him say what he wants to say.
What do you think about Li Fei?
When he just joined Narcotics Control Brigade,
he impressed me
with his enthusiasm and motivation.
In order to break a case,
he can work from day to night for days.
This is good.
We need
new blood and monument like him.
But someone doesn’t buy this.
Can you tell me more?
The first one is his master,
namely his partner Zhou Kai.
Zhou Kai just married at that time.
so he is
a man in honeymoon. Come on.
And Li Fei is devoted himself to work.
They are partners.
Awesome! What will happened?
Their group is called Feiyang.
Just two of them ventured into Tazhai.
But Zhou Kai is a good drug enforcement police.
He’s young but insightful,
and dares to rush up at key moment.
He’s reliable.
So it’s more about Li Fei’s problem?
It depends on different factors.
If you don’t hand well,
pros can be cons.
It’s natural to lose one’s temperature.
But who can control oneself is an advantage,
I mean the interpersonal relationship of colleagues.
So you’re saying
Li Fei isn’t good at dealing with interpersonal relationship.
He still has room for improvement.
You and Director Ma Yunbo,
are you friends of life and death?
Yes.
Ma Yunbo is deputy director.
But this position was supposed to be Cai Yongqiang’s.
What do you mean?
I heard that you and Cai Yongqiang haven’t got along with each other for a long time.
When Director Ma just assumed office,
I reported Cai Sanmao’s case to him.
So I displeased the whole brigade,
So did Cai Yongqiang.
What does this case have to do with
Cai Sanmao’s case?
Last year,
before Director Ma’s coming,
There was a trend for drug control in Dongshan.
Clan relatives conspired with each other.
Until Director Ma’s coming,
this trend changed.
Cai Sanmao’s case is an example.
One of our comrades
suspected that Cai Sanmao was a drug producer.
He investigated Cai for more than a month.
But
when Cai Sanmao was watching a play in Spring Festival,
he was beaten to death by the first branch of his clan.
The reason is
They were contending for a seat.
You told Director Ma about this?
How do you know?
All of us knew this.
When you were talking in front of the gate,
Zhou Kai heard that.
Cai Sanmao was murdered,
but his death was concluded to be
a fight to contending for a seat.
Therefore,
Cai was dead.
All of you has years’ working experience,
do you believe that?
Cai Sanmao’s father,
the head of the third branch,
didn’t bury his son
but placed his son’s body
at murder’s home,
just at the center of the yard.
However, the murder
was escaping.
Only two heads of those two branches quarreled
without being convinced.
This case
was famous last year.
It’s when the incident
was going to be more serious...
What happened?
The anxious village directors
came to the brigade
and requested us
to help them to solve this case.
This is unbelievable.
Watch my words.
Request!
In China,
the word of request
is mostly used by superiors to subordinates.
Am I right?
But I can never image that
leaders of brigade
went there for solution.
They not only went there, but bought cigarettes on their cost.
They invited those clan heads to have a meeting at the ancestral hall.
Ridiculously, for more than a month, this meeting hasn’t been ended
until the related clan heads
agreed to make a compromise.
Then they buried Cai Sanmao’s body.
But the funeral expenses
were paid by Dongshan Public Security Bureau and
Tianxi town.
This is so ridiculous!
Director Ma Yunbo just assume office.
It’s understandable for him to establish prestige.
But there's another way of saying it.
Namely, he came here for the position of director.
But he succumbed to the deputy position.
So he wanted to do something
in order to prove himself as soon as possible.
