The Thunder
You said that before Ma Yunbo told you the whole thing,
You had been in secret contact with Lin Sanbao, right?.
Any evidence?
No.
What is Lin Sanbao's attitude?
Not willing to cooperate.
He does not trust us.
Why?
Does not trust who?
Why?
Are you referring to someone?
This is also what I want to know.
When Ma Yunbo set the task for you,
wWhy didn't you explain to him
that you had already started your work.
He is the deputy director,
and he’s in charge and also my boss.
His request,
considering absence of any results found by me,
can’t be dampened by me.
Did Ma Yunbo explain to you
why he did this?
Yes.
It is basically the same with the reason why I suspect Tazhai Village.
Normally, you should be happy
because Ma Yunbo and you
have identical views.
But you have chosen “confused” to express your feeling.
The time is too coincidental.
You don't believe Ma Yunbo?
Do I have any hints in this regard?
Where is Wu now?
I have a lot of details to confirm with him.
Wu had run away.
If they arehe were caught by Pock,
He will would be dead. You have to help him.
Except Pock, does he have
any other friends in Dongshan?
I don't know.
Wu said that he is a native of Jiangxi.
Dropped school at fifteen and worked in a factory
In Huizhou of Guangdong along with a child from the village.
Do you know what kind of factory it is in Huizhou?
Toy factory.
But I didn't ask the exact name.
How about tThe child who went to worked with him,
is he in the same village of him?
It seems to be the same village.
But I don't know his name.
Wu is a native of Jiangxi.
Which part of Jiangxi exactly?
My brain doesn’t work well now. I...
He...
He didn’t mention which county he comes from.
It seems like he has said...
He has said it is called some county, or town.
You have to think about this.
This is rather important.
What do you think of Ma Yunbo?
Capable and resolute.
These three years under Director Ma,
are the most successful three years of Dongshan Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Especially in the area of drug control.
I have no personal relationship with him.
All contacts are limited to work.
As for him,
You have more say than me.
It was on the 16th of July last year
that Ma Yunbo arranged you to foster Lin Sanbao as the informant.
July 21st.
Lin Sanbao suddenly died in a car accident.
During this period,
hHave you met Lin Sanbao?
He wouldn’t was not willing to meet me.
When did you contact Lin Sanbao?
July 18th.
What do you think of Lin Sanbao’s death in car accident?
Simply two conclusions.
One, it was a normal car accident, and he was an unlucky guy.
And we are also of bad luck.
Another conclusion is that he was killed for preventing divulgence.
In this case, we are even worse unlucky because there is no evidence fopr us.
Which one do you prefer?
I have no inclination. Evidence gets to decide.
You are a little bit insincere.
Not everyone can see the truth,
but everyone must can be the truth.
Pingxiang Town.
I remembered it. It is Pingxiang Town.
Wu comes from Pingxiang Town of Shangrao in Jiangxi.
That...
He comes from Xiawu Village.
Xiawu Village.
The “Xia (down)” of “Shang and Xxia (up and down)”.
What other details you know about Wu?
I once told Wu
that I know a good policeman.
I want to take him here to see you.
But he simply wouldn’t come.
He knows me?.
Li Fei,
you must help me find Wu.
Teacher Lin,
Do you still live in the place as before?
Not anymore.
I moved out.
My sister needs to be taken of now.
You are now living in...?
Now,
I live at
River...
at riverside, in the unfinished building.
Unfinished building.
Nothing serious.
Don’t worry.
I live on the top floor. The place is extra spacious.
And there is also place for garbage brought back.
No need to worry about causing trouble to others.
Where are you going?
Accompany me to see Chen Ke.
You and Chen Guangrong used to be partners.
Yes.
When I was the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Brigade,
Chen Guangrong is the head of the first detachment of
criminal investigation brigade.
We’ve been partners for three years.
Our working relationship is very harmonious.
He is even my matchmaker.
My wife is introduced by his wife.
We also lived in the same building.
Our relationship there was quite good.
Later, the bureau set up an Narcotics Control Brigade.
I was transferred to the Narcotics Control Brigade as the chief.
Chen Guangrong originally wanted to come with me
and act as deputy chief.
But...
But you didn't recommend him.
Well, it should not be said like this.
Because the bureau brought us a demobilized soldier
to our Narcotics Control Brigade.
Called Chen Zili.
Had If you strongly recommend Chen Guangrong,
hHe should be here now, right?
You can say that.
You just said that the two of you are
tacit at work.
So why didn't you bring Chen Guangrong here?
Chen Guangrong's brother
is the mayor,
and Chen Guangrong also wans to come to the Narcotics Control Brigade.
Why didn't you do this little favor for him?
Some people will be only anxious to do this.
But that's not for me.
This may be because of the way I work
is not quite the same as others.
What do you think about Chen Guangrong?
Strong working ability.
Has his pattern in handling cases.
Has resources,.
Has connections,.
and Ccharacteristic.
They are all advantages. How about shortcomings?
Sometimes advantages
may become shortcomings.
Guangrong! Guangrong!
Let's go to the hospital, OK?
Go to the hospital. Go to the hospital.
Don’t leak it.
It is said that
Cai Yongqiang
has been suspended. Because of taking bribes.
Taking bribes?
Don’t rumor around.
How do you evaluate you and the Narcotics Control Brigade?
People in this business,
will face nothing but two risks:
One is the risk of life.
Because the opponents are some
desperados and they risk their life to grab money.
This risk may not only ftor policemen their own,
but also more likely to their partners,
and family members.
Chen Zili
let his son in high school
put a bicycle chain in his bag
for self-defense.
He ran to ask me about this matter.
He asked if this bicycle chain a weapon?
The second is the risk of temptation.
Drug traffickers,
make money too easily.
In order to protect their own lives, they will not hesitate spend money,
to bribe us.
Tens of thousands.
Hundreds of thousands.
Sometimes millions and millions.
For them, several million
is merely the profit of a few days.
But for narcotic control police,
who have to take this money to pay the mortgage
as well as pay for expenses of their children,
It’s a huge mental imbalance.
Keeping the mentality unaffected,
and resisting temptations,
is impossible.
But every member in my brigade,
They’ve all overcome it.
Just only one for this one thing,
they deserve my praise of them as “excellent”.
Each of them is awesome.
As a long-time policeman,
his the understanding of human nature
will be more profound,.
mMore penetrating.
And a lot of incredible things
happens every day.
Sometimes,
out of sight,
out of mind.is really a kind of happiness.
Please come in.
Director Ma.
Guangrong.
Anything?
I’ve heard that Cai Yongqiang has been investigated.
There is such a thing.
It is said he has taking taken bribes.
It's under investigation.
No conclusion yet.
What happened to your hand?
I accidentally twisted myself when playing basketball.
Be careful.
What happened?
Nothing.
Migraine.
Xiao Zhang,
Again! Good.
Teacher Lin,
Take care. You guys wait for me for a moment.
Alright.
Uncle.
Aunt.
Li Fei, there you are.
Never mind.
It’s OK. I’ve checked it out.
Don’t be idle. Be a responsible police.
Why coming to my house?
Still want to catch innocent people capriciously?
Chen Yan, what are you talking aboutwatch your mouth?
Li Fei is my friend, why can't he come here?
Speak politely.
Go to work.
Chen Yan, sorry.
Li Fei,
Come out here.
What are you feeling sorry for? Sit down.
You are also a victim.
What can I do for you?
Here's the thing.
This is Shuibo.
What Li Fei wants to do
is to settle you here.
On May 13,
I ran out of the hospital.
I’ve got nowhere to go, so I found him for help.
I called you with his mobile phone.
He’s in a shy financial condition now, living in the unfinished building.
Because of taking drugs, he was kicked out of Tazhai Village.
He's very poor. I wonder if you can
help him and let him go to your store.
He can be an assistant and take the night shifts.
He’ll free your mom and dad from
working in shifts every night, won’t he?
Taking drugs?
Yes.
But he has already quited it.
It was because of his son then.
I will tell you this later.
By the way, Shuibo,
This is the new glasses that Li Fei gives to you.
I have no place to settle him.
Only your store can accomodate him. Such an expensive thing.
My glasses are very good. Help me a littleJust do me a favor.
Be free. Try it.
He specially bought it for you.
Li Fei.
As for this thing,
I think you should still tell Uncle Li.
Or Director Ma.
I think that we should give upI would rather not.
If you continue to invetigate single-handed,
Li Fei is there.
Really.
Got it. Got it. Got it.
Alright.
Last night
was really horrible.
Actually, to be honest,
recently I’ve been
infested by nightmares.
They won’t accept me. It wont’t goI cannot.
Shuibo, let me go to them first.
Wait for me, please.
Li Fei.
Don't put such pressure on Chen Ke.
If it doesn’t work, let’s think about another solution.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Nothing. Nothing.
Let me think about another solution.
I am going to say hello to uncle and aunt.
Uncle, aunt, I’ve got to go now.
Chen Yan.
See you.
Let's go, Li Fei.
Let Shuibo stay.
I will take care of him.
Shui Bo, take a shower.
I’m full of dirt.
Nothing.
Shuibo, go ahead.
Ma Wen, we haven’t contacted for a long time.
What can I do for you?
We've got something here. I want you to help me.
You’re so courteous. We’ve been classmates for so long.
No need to regard me as an outsider. Speak freely.
Here's the thing.
We are investigating a drug case.
It may get a young man of your Xiawu village
involved.
But we don't know where he is now.
So I hope you can help us find him.
Xiawu Village.
What is his name?
We are not clear about his name.
But he has a nickname called Wu.
And he’s 18 years old.
This is not very easy to handle.
We’ve got a few more information here.
He dropped out of school when he was fifteen.
Then left to for Huizhou of Guangdong
with a seventeen-year-old companion
from the same village of him.
I hope you can check it for me.
Youngsters Ddropped school three years ago,
tThen went to Huizhou to work. List all names according with to this.
Try to find photos as much as possible. Thank you.
You’re welcome. I will try to check it for you as I can.
Lao Wang.
This case is very urgent for us.
I hope you can investigate as soon as possible.
Then let us know, OK?
Alright.
Thanks. Thanks.
I am a veteran in drug enforcement.
They deliberately left us
two clues.
You mean that he has been fostering Lin Sanbao as the informant
for a long time.
Also, talking about his evaluation of Chen Guangrong,
What do you think?
When you mentioned Lin Sanbao,
He used the word “confused”.
It seems that he wanted to point Ma Yunbo as the person behind.
At least not out of a goodwill.
His reaction can be called a retreat for future attack.
Lin Sanbao is dead.
There are currently no witnesses or evidence
that can prove he is telling the truth.
Director Li,. Li Fei and Ma Wen are outside.
They want to see you.
So these evidences of him
must be held by Lin Shengwu.
Finished?
Finished.
Rest assured.
I will send a consultation report to help find Lin Shengwu.
How about this? I am going to look for Chen Ke.
She might get to Lin Shengwu’s wife Cai Xiaoling...
No.
Get away from Tazhai Village.
Why?
Nothing particular. Just the time is not ripe.
When will it be ripe?
How about Cai Yongqiang’s investigation?
When wil you start to investigate Chen Guangrong?
Investigation of Cai Yongqiang is entirely out of your testimony.
We can’t investigate everyone
that you believe suspicious.
I will send someone to monitor Chen Guangrong.
You’ll send who for monitoring?
What did do you mean?
Let me see if the person sent is reliable.
Who’s in charge!? You or me?
It's not for a higher official to get to decide the truth.
Nor the bolder one!
You look for regulations for even tiny little matters,
While leaving the obvious clues aside.
If you keep on investigating at this pace,
The narcotics control in Dongshan will never get better.
You don’t wanna do this job anymore?
If you don’t investigate, I’ll investigate it.
Don't follow me.
Ma Wen, I’ve told you this.
You don’t need to report everthing.
I can investigate the case myself, can’t you understand?
Reporting your condition is my job.
If I go to the toilet, will you report?
If I have a diarrhea, will you report?
How obedient you are.
Or just because you’re so stupid.
Or you just want to be a little guard
who's always informing on others.
You think I am willing to do this?
It’s my bad luck to follow you, OK?
If you think you are unlucky, then don't follow me.
Alright. Who let ask you to follow me?
Then you don't follow me too.
Only dogs will follow you.
Someone from Jiangxi is calling, Wen.
How about you answer this?
Wen, please answer the phone. Don't follow me.
I can't answer it. It is your classmate.
Don't be angry. Be serious.
It's business. This is about the job. Job.
Don’t bother yourself with me. I’m young and aggressive.
You just treat me as a child, OK?
Weren't you a touch tough guy just now?
I’ll be the dog, sorry. Woof! Woof! Woof!
Answer it, please. I beg you.
Hello, Wang Jinghua. This is Ma Wen.
Ma Wen, I just came back from Xiawu Village.
I found a person called Lu Yuan.
He fits the age you’ve described.
But I don't know if he is
the Wu you mentioned. Wen! Wen!
Don't go away.
The man who took him away was called Feng Li,
a distant cousin of him.
Has Lu Yuan recently been back?
He has never returned since he left.
I also went to his house. What's been said?
The house collapsed more than half. Did or did not go back?
There is no one in his family now.
Feng Li has a sister.
She’s called Feng Chunyue.
She’s working at Lehui Toy Factory in Huizhou of Guangdong.
I don't know if this information helps you.
Thank you, Jinghua. It is very helpful.
That's good.
What help?
I've got something to do, shall we hang up here?
OK. I’ll hang up first.
Don't hang up! Don't hang up! Don't hang up!
Are your clear about it? Why hanging up the phone?
What did you ask?
How can you behave like this as a police?
What did you ask?
Call yourself and ask.
This will put Ma Wenme in a difficult situation.
My sisterWen, don’t be angry. I’m a stupid young man.
I have a loose tongue. I speak without thought.
What did he say exactly?
Who said that do n ot follow me just now? Don’t follow me.
Don’t be like this. It's a joke, Ma Wen.
Let me go.
Don’t bother yourself with me, Ma Wen.
Ma Wen, what did he say?
What did he say?
Repeat it. Repeat it for me, will youplease?
Sir,
You are very lucky.
You should buy a lottery to try your luck.
You are complimenting me,
or excusing your mistakes.
I don't want to bicker with you.
Because the case was decided as a suicide.
So we didn’t check it carefully.So we didn’t
check everyone’s identity in the monitor.
Monitor and identify everyone inside.
Chen Daxiong was arrested last year
For killing big star Wen.
So in three years ago,
Chen Daxiong was just an ordinary person.
The police didn’t would not associate him
to with Luo Jiayi’s death.
Still you weren’t responsible.
Had he been investigated at the time,
There would not be so many demons of the wronged.
Attend your words!
Chen Daxiong did not admit
he was related to Luo Jiayi’s case?
What do you mean?
Do you want me to judge question him?
I just went to Stanley Prison and looked for him.
He didn’t admit
that he was involved in Luo Jiayi’s death.
A hit man.
They have their own disciplines and rules of the game.
Although the result was not satisfactory,
But the Hong Kong police tried their best.
After all, it was a case from three years ago.
All the clues disappeared.
I’m not resigned to it yet.
I must know the exact answer.
Otherwise we can’t take the next move.
What move?
This is all we’ve got.
Is Luo Shaohong your boss?
Chen Daxiong may give him the respect.
It was you that saved his life
at that year in Mong Kok
save him out in storms of shots and shells.
What he owes you is not just a favor;
It’s his life.
I can't let him know
I am investigating Haoyu Group.
Then there's nothing I can help.
Luo Shaohong can be searched.
But I won’t cannot do this. You can send someone to search him for you.
What did do you mean?
Luo Shaohong is respected by both the political and business circles.
If the police take up the matter,
He would cooperate with you.
Well.
I’ll go back and try it.
Can you advise persuade my boss to meet with Luo Shaohong?
I hope the personal friendship and justice
compliment complement each other perfectly.
You Hong Kong police
are all bureaucratic.
You are not in this system.
You don't understand why.
Is the re-investigation of Luo Jiayi’s case
kept secret?
We have cooperated for more than ten years.
Aren’t you afraid this kind of words will hurt me?
I want it to be foolproof.
If I made any mistakes,
How could you be here and alive.
Sir,
My life shines because of you.
Shuibo, let me help you.
Nothing serious. I can handle it.
Nothing seriousever mind.
Shuibo, these are grapes. They need to be refrigerated.
So later
we need to
put them in the freezer.
OK. OK. OK.
You've had a lot of work!
So are the mangoes.
Mangoes are afraid of pressure.
So be careful when you move them.
Understood. Understood. Ke Ke.
Shuibo, these grapes are also afraid of pressure. Ke Ke.
OK. OK. OK. Come on in.
Alright.
Well, Shuibo. I’ll leave it to you.
I will come back later.
Rest assured.
I've understood it.
Ke Ke, do you know that he takes took drugs?
I know.
Li Fei told me.
But he said that he has already quit.
Quit?
Don’t you know how few drug addicts can quit taking drugs?
Well,
Lin Shubo Shuibo have promised to me and Li Fei
that he will definitely never touch drugs again.
Li Fei believes him, and I believe him too.
Li Fei.
Well, you believe Li Fei,
but we’re keeping a fruit shop.
Not the logistics of the public security bureau.
Yes.
Look at Li Fei and Song Yang.
How many troubles they've brought to us?
Look at your younger brother.
He does not dare to turn off the lights at night.
Even anyone in police uniform scares him.
It’s like he’s doing something wrong.
Don’t hang around with them anymore,
Otherwise this our family will meet with a mishap again.
Mom.
Get away from Li Fei.
Either his is handling a case or he’s playing the hero,
Don't let him get us involved in. The matter of Song Yang.
For the matter of Song Yang,
He has left all other things behind.
I can't help him so much now.
I’ll help him only on this thing about Lin Shuibo.
Just this thing.
OK?
Chen Ke.
I...
I’d better leave.
Nothing serious, Shuibo.
You can live here and feel at ease.
And you can keep the store at the same time.
My parents will go home.
You are leaving?
You can rest assured.
Shuibo, well,
We prop up a bed here for sleeping at night.
I am going to fetch the materials.
Shuibo.
I will take a board here later.
I’ll make a bed for you.
Make do with it. Don’t cold-shoulder this.
I have bought the toiletries for you.
They are in the small bathroom.
The kettle is also there.
Don’t worry.
You can live here and feel at ease.
Don't think about anything.
As for your salary,
including free meals and free accommodation,
We give you 1,500 yuan a month, is it acceptable?,
OK.
Chen Ke.
Thank you for taking me in.
I really trouble your a lot.
And also your family.
You don't need to pay me.
I’ll leave right away
after Lei Fei finds out the truth of Zaizai’sthe case.
I will never give you any trouble again.
Thank you.
Shuibo.
People who have passed
can't never be back again.
But we’re alive and we must keep alive.
If you have time, please help me to persuade Li Fei.
I am really scared.
Song Yang is dead.
Zaizai is also dead.
If Li Fei continues his action,
I am really worried...
Chen Ke.
How can youI say it's the past?
This It isn’t overpassed.
Where did Chen Yan’s drugs come from?
I still do not know.
I have 1.4 million yuan of cash in my house.
I don’t know where it came from.
Even the photo retouched by Bao Xing for you,
and who gave it to Song Yang, are all still unclear.
How can youI say it's the past?
But if you keep doing this again,
and continue to investigate it all by yourself,
you are very dangerous. Don't you think so?
Chen Ke.
Are you going to take on the night shift?
Yes.
I’ve got to go now.
Chen Ke.
What's the matter?
Nothing, nothing.
I’ve got to go now.
Wait.
Leave the key to me.
I can ride by myself.
He is worrying about you.
Let's go.
Being a bachelor serves you right.
Teacher Lin, sit down.
Look at this. Is it Wu?
It is Wu.
But this one is fatter than the present previous one.
Where did you get these photos?
How about this one. Do you know him?
I don't know. Who is he?
Wu’s real name is Luv Yuan.
This is his cousin called Feng Li.
Wu followed him and went to Guangdong.
Was Wu looking for his cousin?
Are you sure that Wu is not in Dongshan?
He is definitely not in Dongshan anymore.
Pock and other guys are going to to kill him.
He won’t court death for nothingdie in vain in Dongshan.
Wu is a very smart child,
aAnd very talented.
The pity is his talent was impeded.
Had someone given him a direction,
he must be a success.
Teacher Lin,
do you feel comfortable here?
Pretty good.
