Duo-duo
Gao Zhi-hai
Give me back my life
Gao Zhi-hai
-Give me my life back. -You get away you!
-Gao Zhi-hai -Get away!
-Give back my life -Are you possessed?
Gao Zhi-hai
Help! You get away
Brother Hai
I’m Duo-duo
You’re so flustered
How can you be someone’s boss?
If you’re like this when customers walk in
No one will want to do business with you
Are you crazy?
Don’t you know that it’s dangerous to play with this?
You know
I’m quite a quick-witted person
But I can’t see them
So I bought this to try to see if it will help me see them
You’re really crazy
This was expensive
When are you going to pay salary?
Let me tell you
I got a case recently
One of those rich guys from a very big company
A big company?
Have you heard of Yao Peng Construction?
Yao Peng Construction
Huge
So
We can have a company trip somewhere?
Not a problem
We can redecorate this place
Easy
Then can we also add a karaoke here?
Invite your whole family to come
My god
You’re actually a really nice boss
Before I always thought that you were a mean boss
Who would use your position to make everyone work like slaves for you
Our future is in your hands
Prosperity to Brother Hai
Aren’t you over reacting
Prosperity to Brother Hai
Money
Brother Hai, you’re going to rich
You’ll need to get used to it
So rich, Brother Hai
Gao Zhi-hai
You just said that my father’s still in the freezer at the morgue
Yes
How do you know?
We know all the morgues very well
Just to take care of these situations as soon as possible
Besides me
Has anyone from my family discussed with you
The details of how to handle my father’s funeral?
What do you mean?
Wait a minute
Can you come in please
What?
Dad’s funeral when are you going to handle it?
I’m still very busy lately
What are you busy with?
From the very beginning I only tasked you with one job
And this job has only to do with the family
You can’t even handle family business
How can you manage anything to do with the company?
If you’re in such a hurry, why don’t you handle it yourself
Are you the one that dad trusts the most?
What are you saying?
Are you his son?
Has he ever treated me like a son?
I’m giving you one last chance
This is Mr. Gao from the funeral services
Discuss with him how to handle dad’s funeral
Afterlife Funeral Services, Gao Zhi-hai
Just call me A-hai
Are you kidding?
You want to handle dad’s funeral?
You should at least find someone that dresses decently
Someone like him who’s dressed so casually
Don’t waste my time
Won’t be a waste of your time
One we go over the details
Leave the rest to me
I don’t have time to listen to all this gibberish
I heard that many funeral services have ties with the mob
I know exactly what someone like you is after
You’re just the mob trying to get money from us
What’s with your attitude?
-You dare touch me? -I’m sorry
-What kind of attitude is that? -Peng Sheng-jie
Peng Sheng-jie. You, get out!
Mr. Gao, I’m sorry
It’s kind of chaotic now
My younger brother’s personality is like that
You’re both the same
Your own father’s business
Both of you trying to hand off the responsibility
How busy can you be?
I’m sorry
Don’t be sorry
Consider myself unlucky to have met you
I out of goodwill to help
Threw my business card on the floor
No manners at all. Mr. Gao don’t be angry
These two kids were never taught properly
They don’t have any manners
It’s not, this
So what if you have money
What’s the big deal? Because you’re rich, you can be arrogant?
We’re poor, so you look down on us?
It’s not like that it’s wrong to be like that
Fine, blame me for not teaching my kids right
Okay?
Just to be clear. I met you
And am helping you to take care of everything
Seriously, I think you probably treated them like crap before
Oh, I know. You must have spoiled…
Like father like sons
No manners at all
Eat slow
I’m sorry
What’s there to be sorry about
I passed by the store downstairs
And remembered that you like to eat this before
So brought some over
Thank you
When did you start to be so polite
Sheng-yin, you’re here
How are you feeling today?
Very good
You’re all here to visit me
I feel as if I’m all better now
Where’s Xiao-fen?
How’s she doing lately?
Why didn’t she come with you?
She said she wanted to stay with a friend for a couple of days
She didn’t tell you?
Again, to her friend’s place
Why didn’t you ask her to stay?
How can I find her then?
Auntie
Xiao-fen’s not a kid anymore
Even if she’s living with me
I can’t just lock her up at home
Min-xuan
Don’t worry
Xiao-fen will be fine
You don’t understand
She doesn’t answer her phone
Don’t know what’s she’s so busy with?
She must have gone to be with that boyfriend of hers
Sheng-yin
What is it?
Xiao-fen has a boyfriend
Do you have a boyfriend now?
No
Why don’t you find one
Can’t just find a boyfriend to have a boyfriend
He has to be suitable
If you don’t find one soon
I won’t be able to meet him
Then
I’ll find one tomorrow and bring him to meet you
Work is important
Finding someone to be with is even more important
That’s true
So much to learn from you
I can’t get through to you
Sheng-yin, I bought enough
Do you want a bowl?
Let me get some for you
You guys enjoy it
I’m not hungry
Auntie, why did you bring so much stuff?
Your dad’s change of clothes
The nurses will arrive in a few days
Just let them take care of it
No need to trouble Auntie
Don’t spend the money on the nurses
You’re very busy usually
I can come by to take care of him
It’s not a problem
You really love him don’t you?
Sheng-yin
Actually what your dad
Said to you was to make sure you’re taken care of
A woman,
needs to get married
Have someone to rely on
Getting married and having someone to rely on
Aren’t necessarily dependent on each other
You’re not married
You’re the one that he’s relying on now
At my age,
Being married or not is irrelevant
Not to mention,
I was the one that interfered with your family back then
I would be ashamed to even bring up marriage
I never thought
That I would be here telling you all this
Nothing that can’t be said
You were still very young then
Me showing up
Must have really affected you
You were also hurt
I’m sorry
Actually, you don’t need to apologize to me
That’s between the two of you
Has nothing to do with me
No need to talk about the past
If you’re good now, then that’s fine
Let me help you with those
You’re saying the family believes it was medical negligence
So they’re requesting an autopsy?
Yes
And it involves insurance?
So it’s a bit complicated
That’s why we need you
Wang Zhen-hong
Sounds so familiar
The one that was on the news the other day
The one that was killed because the mob was seeking revenge
Mr. Gao, how are you. I’m Peng Sheng-jie
I apologize for the way I acted this morning
I talked to my brother
I was too hasty
You’re more than suitable
So I would like you to handle my father’s funeral
If it’s convenient
Hope that you can stop by the office around 7pm tonight
To discuss it with us
Thank you
Yes!
I haven’t drank you like this in a long time
Me too
President, Vice president
Mr. Gao is here
Mr. Gao, you’re here
Here, have a seat
Here
I’m sorry about this morning I didn’t mind my manners
Have a drink
We let you see us at our worst this morning
Our father’s funeral
The two of us would like to discuss this with you
Thank you for your reminding us
I would like to ask Mr. Gao first
If your company has any packages or proposals
For our consideration
We currently customize our funerals for our clients
The main focus is to know what the family would like
Then we will sit down and plan the funeral
I would like to ask
Are there only two siblings?
Only us two brothers
When your father was alive,
Did he have any religious practices
Nothing special
Ok, I understand. I will go back first and prepare
Some info for your consideration based on our past cases
-Then we’ll -It’s okay
I will take care of dad’s funeral
I will talk to Mr. Gao about the details later
Right now, let’s just relax
Chat a bit, okay
Then
Get another bottle
Your company name, Afterlife Funeral Services
Is quite unique
My dad was the original one doing this
After he passed, I came back to handle it
Small company
Like ours
After our dad passed away
The two of us had to manage it
When I walked in this morning
I noticed that there were a lot of desks
And the space was nice
It’s probably a lot of hard work and very busy
My father ran it very well
We’re just responsible for managing it
Big brother I’m sorry I just remembered
CEO Wang wanted to meet with me today to discuss some things
I better head over there
Right now?
I’m sorry, but he suddenly requested to meet
You hurry up and get over there
He doesn’t like people being late
Excuse me, I head over quickly and then come back
Let me toast everyone before I leave
I’ll be back in a bit
-Take your time talking -Hurry and head over
My younger brother’s personality is quite intense
But he’s actually a very good guy
Has a kind heart
It’s okay
The main thing is
If you wait too long to handle these things
It’s disrespectful to the deceased
And may not be good for the family either
I understand
Mr. Gao
Going forward, we’ll be counting on you
No worries
This whiskey
Is it okay for you?
I can drink anything
Let me get another bottle for you to try
Mr. Gao
Are you okay?
No problem, I’m okay
I’m okay
A-hai
Brother Zhong, what are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
Mad Dog suddenly rushed in
And then
I was wrestling him
Got control of him
And then
What the heck are you talking about?
This is a murder scene
Mr. police officer
This is the guy! He killed my brother
OK, calm down
Why calm down
When I got back, my brother was dead
You were the only one in the entire office
If it wasn’t you, then who?
What are you talking about?
We’re we having drinks together? We we’re have a good time
What are you talking about? Having drinks?
Mr. officer, look
-Look what he’s got in his hands -I
It was him that killed my brother
Hurry up and arrest him
Ok, let me handle this
-Fine, Sir let’s step outside first -Don’t touch me
Brother Zhong, I don’t know anything
I got a call then came here to discuss business with them
No
Brother Zhong, I receive a call, I came to talk business
You have the right to remain silent
Anything you say may be used against you in the court of law
I must take you back to the station
Let’s go
Detective Zhong
I just saw someone take Gao Zhi-hai away
He’s a suspect
But what was he doing here?
I’m currently on location
At the front door of Yao Peng Construction
Just minutes ago the police arrested the only suspect
It was the suspect that killed Yao Peng Construction’s President
Peng Ming-jie
This society is really in chaos
Thank goodness I work in funeral services
What exactly was the grudge between the two
That motivated the killing
The police are still investigating
Why did you kill him?
What is your connection to the deceased?
Brother Hai!
Do you feel guilty for killing?
Move back. Move out of the way
When was the last time you saw your brother?
Last night around seven
Because we need to take care of our father’s funeral
So we asked Gao Zhi-hai over to discuss it with us
But I had another meeting at eight
So I left first
What your brother doing at that time?
My brother and Gao Zhi-hai
We’re having drinks together
I don’t know why he killed my brother after I left
Did you know Gao Zhi-hai from before?
We didn’t know him at all
We don’t know how he knew
That we hadn’t given our father a funeral yet
He was the one that came to us
My brother and I both felt that he was sincere
So we thought we’d give him a chance
Who knew it would lead to this?
Why did you go over there?
I really don’t know them
I only met them once before
They told me that they were going to let me handle their father’s funeral
That’s why I went over there
Peng Sheng-jie said you were the one that went there first
Yes, that’s right
It was their father that kept asking me to help
Kept saying no one wants to give him a funeral
His body is still in the freezer at the morgue
I only wanted to help
Then what did you discuss with them?
I just sat down after saying hello
Then they said they wanted to apologize
So we started drinking and chatting
And then
Then when I opened my eyes
I saw you guys
The older brother was dead
I really don’t know anything
Did you have an argument with Peng Ming-jie?
I don’t really remember
You can’t not remember
Does this have anything to do with your office getting wrecked
Hong Lien’s trying to frame you for Mad Dog’s case
I really don’t know
How can I help you if you’re like this?
Think about it in the holding cell
When you remember, let me know
-A-guang, take him -No, Brother Zhong
Go think about it in the holding cell when you remember, let me know
I
Let’s go
Thirty
According to the deceased younger brother Peng Sheng-jie’s statement
When he arrived at the office this morning
He saw his older brother Peng Ming-jie’s
Body in his office
The table on the scene had empty glasses
And whiskey bottles
At the time of the incident
He was drinking
And the other person drinking with him
was Gao Zhi-hai
The evening of the incident
The surveillance cameras for Yao Peng Construction were being serviced
So there’s no record of who came and went
But according to the guards statements
The night of the incident
Only Gao Zhi-hai was on site
But Gao Zhi-hai
Didn’t know the Peng brothers previously
It was only because of funeral proceedings for the deceased’s father
Peng Huai-chang, that they were meeting
Isn’t Gao Zhi-hai connected with the mob?
I believe it was because they had disagreement over the costs
So they argued while they were drinking
In a fit of rage, killed Peng Ming-jie
He’s been out of the mob for some time now
Being in the mob is like taking drugs
When you say you’re out, can you really be out?
It’s that easy?
Maybe they had a disagreement from a long time ago
That we don’t know about
Then you’re pointing the finger at Gao Zhi-hai
The person died right beside him
How do we prove otherwise?
He’s not the murderer
According to what I know of him
He wouldn’t kill someone for no reason
Brother Zhong
We all know that you have a personal relationship with him
But this is a murder case
It’s best not to let your personal feelings get involved
We look at the evidence to crack any case
If all the evidence points to Gao Zhi-hai
No friendship can override that
I will arrest him myself
Investigate what needs investigating and arrest those that need arrest
Let’s get moving
Yes
When Gao Zhi-hai arrived
We’re you the one that let him in?
Yes, it was me
Did he say why he came?
He said he was here to see our president
Fighting?
Yes, he argued with our President and Vice President
At there. It was so loud
Everyone heard it, sounded like they were just about to fight
Why?
I think it was about our late owner’s funeral
He all of sudden showed up to try and get some business
So they took him away
How did your old boss die?
Lung cancer
What kind of person was your old boss?
He was very good
When he saw us
He would ask us to smoke with him
Did he know Gao Zhi-hai?
Impossible
It’s impossible for a guy like him
To know our old boss
Before the incident someone saw you arguing with Peng Ming-jie
Those two brothers were idiots
Who in their right mind would not have a funeral for their own father?
I only told them the principles of being a person
I know that the business is not good for your company
So you just really wanted their business is that it?
It was all that old man
Their father kept asking me to help
That’s why I went there
I’ve said this already many times
I don’t even know them
Didn’t you say you can see those things?
Then you should ask the father and Peng Ming-jie directly
I can’t see anything by being here?
What can I do when I’m here?
Now the prosecutor believes I’m protecting you
What do you want me to do then?
Fine, I’ll look into it
There’s someone else that wants to talk to you
Sheng-yin
Did you kill him?
I really don’t know anything
When I opened my eyes everything was like this already
Don’t know?
The answer is either a yes or a no
How can it be, I don’t know?
You and your brothers have been through so much already
I thought you already left the financing company
Who do you think will believe you didn’t kill him?
You came to tell me this?
I want to know
Did you kill him or not?
The mob is the mob financing company
Fine, not as great as being a forensic doctor
Finance company
Or funeral services
Anyways, it’s not as simple as you think
It’s not simple
But it’s your choice
Getting emotional
Will not allow you to take care of things objectively
You and your brothers have been through so much already
You still don’t understand?
What happened today,
Who do you think will believe you didn’t kill him?
You didn’t think that I was going to
I was protecting you
Protecting?
Looks like you often come here to “protect” people right?
So I have a problem with what I’m saying
Or do you have a problem with expressing your feelings?
It’s
You distance yourself from people
Distance?
Distance
Allows you to see things more clearly
What do you know?
Do we know each other that well?
We’re from two very different worlds
Open the door
Brother Hai, are you okay?
Come out
Your motive to kill is not clear
Judge has granted bail
So I asked Duo-duo to come bail you out
I knew Brother Hai didn’t kill anyone
You can be called back for questioning at anytime
Don’t go anywhere
Thank you Brother Zhong
Let’s go
-Gao Zhi-hai, are you a human being? -What are you doing?
Out of kindness we gave you our business
You kill someone because of money
What are you doing assaulting people?
He killed my brother, I just want payback
Brother Hai couldn’t have killed anyone
A mobster like him
There’s nothing that he wouldn’t do
A scumbag and a loser that kills
Don’t come any closer
Come again and I’ll call the police
What is it? Don’t touch me
Both the guy and the girl are mobsters
Don’t think I’m afraid of you
Gao Zhi-hai, I’m warning you
I’m going to hire a lawyer to sue you to death
And let you spend your lifetime behind bars
Don’t even think of running away
Brother Hai
Are you okay?
I’m fine
Let’s get a taxi
What is it?
Do you need to see the doctor?
You’re the one that needs to see the doctor
Give me the cigarettes
First give them to me, then go home
I want to make this clear
I’m your colleague
Not your assistant
You better not have any weird thoughts
You think I don’t have enough to bother me now?
Hurry up and go
Go see the doctor
I will
Mr. Peng, come smoke
Mr. Peng, come have a smoke
Miss. How can you say that my A-hai stole your money?
Which eye did you see him do this from?
I see him in my store all the time
Wandering around, touching things
The 5,000 that I put on the table just all of a sudden disappears?
If it wasn’t him, who else could it be?
Variety store, he came to buy things
He didn’t come to steal money. Don’t make false accusations
You’re his father, of course you’re going to say he didn’t do it
I know A-hai stole this money
I told you, I already called the police
You should ask them to come quickly
Office, you be the judge
Ok, let me handle this
No, Miss
Ok
-Look -Fine
-Gangster father and son -Ok, don’t be angry
Let me handle this
Fine
Brother Zhong
What is this?
The electrical cord that A-hai was holding at the incident
The weapon used to strangle Peng Ming-jie
Reanalyze it
This was the second time already
We can’t keep asking them to run the test over and over again
You don’t know A-hai
You think he’s able to kill?
In the report he’s the one holding the weapon
He was at the scene
Didn’t you say that we the police believe in the evidence
Have you known him for a long time or
Am I the one that’s known him for a long time?
Stop your jabbering. Run it again
Reanalyze it
Understood
What kind of attitude was that
You being the police should help me say a few things
We’re not real brothers now?
Boss Gao, don’t be angry
It must be a misunderstanding
Misunderstanding?
Misunderstanding, you can’t suspect A-hai of stealing money
He’s still little
I’m very strict at home
Look after him a while
Don’t worry, just a misunderstanding
A-hai, do you have something to tell me?
If you tell me, I can help you
It’s wrong to steal money
Did you take the 5000 dollars?
You go to jail for stealing
Even if you don’t go to jail
Having this hang over you is even worse
Brother Hai
You want to know who the killer is don’t you?
Here
Let’s ask the Weejee board
Forget what other people are saying
I’ll help you
Help you to feel it
Please come out and give us the answer
That’s strange. That’s enough!
Why are my feelings so weak today
Had enough?!
You think I’m stupid?
I just want to help
Besides, your
Printed so many of your business cards
And you’ve not finished handing them out yet
Help me
You think I can kill someone?
-No -I’m a mobster
You think I’ve never killed before?
Is that so?
Probably
See
Even you can’t be sure
Help me
Help, help
Stop meddling
Why are you biting my head off for?
I just want to help
How are you Brother Hai
You want something to eat or drink?
The usual will be fine
Sure
Stop it, wait let me tell you
The place you wanted to go to last time
Isn’t this our Brother A-hai?
Recently, the very popular, how do you call it
Killer
Looks like you’re more arrogant then you were back in the day
Didn’t I hear that he
Got out of it
Then why kill?
Killing people is very routine for me
It’s a hard habit to break
I already left
Stop bother me
What?
A little louder, I didn’t catch that
What is it?
They say you’re a murderer
I just want to live my life
Get lost and go far away from this place
Live your life
Our Brother Mad Dog was killed by you
You’re telling me you just want to live your life
Let me tell you
If you don’t want us to bother you anymore
Then give us your life to make up for it
One at a time or
All of you together
Don’t be rash
Don’t get excited
Stop fighting all of you
Don’t be so impulsive
Call the police
I already called the police
What’s your problem now?
You don’t think I have enough to do?
If you’re not thinking for yourself think for your dad
What’s the difference?
In the past when you and dad
Told me to not get involved with the mob
Fine, I left
And then?
Now when I walk down the street
Everyone stays far away from me
I get more respect now than when I was in the mob
Brother Zhong
You’re the police. I’m a murderer
Distancing yourself from me will be better for you
I don’t believe you did it
What if I did actually do it?
My dad doesn’t care for me. What do you care?
You think I’m still the good little boy
From way back then?
Being in the mob for so long
You think that I haven’t killed anyone before?
Just lock me up
I’ll just close this funeral service up, no problem
Why do you keep bothering me?
-You really want to be locked up? -Why do you keep hassling me?
You really want to be locked up?
Even you don’t believe yourself
Who will believe you?
What are you doing here?
Not welcomed?
I came to see how much you can drink?
Drink
Drink up
Drink it
Aren’t you able to drink a lot?
Don’t want to drink it, I’ll drink it then
Everyone’s alcohol tolerance is different
You’ve been drinking for a long time
It’s impossible for you to get drunk just after one glass
There must be another reason
Come with me back to the crime scene
Maybe we can find other clues
Maybe you’ll be able to see
Let’s go
Sheng-yin, you’re not coming?
What am I going for?
The more people the stronger we are
How are you detective
I’m here to look over the crime scene again
Did you send in a request?
I’m the police, what’s with the request?
I’m sorry sir
According to the rules, if you didn’t send in a request
No one is allowed inside
Then what should we do now?
Wait a minute, sir
Let me notify my superiors first
Notify what?
You’re delaying my investigation, I’ll arrest you
Police need to make a request, ridiculous
Go
Let’s go
The office is so big
I didn’t notice last time
Which room?
I don’t know
I came in from the front door. I don’t know
Wait
A-hai
You were drinking here
Afterwards, I got a call from Peng Ming-jie
Asking me to come back
They were telling me that they wanted me
To handle their father’s funeral
So I took a seat here to drink
I sat here
Peng Ming-jie, Peng Sheng-jie
And then
Then the younger one got a call and said
Something came up and he had to leave first
And then, then I don’t remember anything
How much did you drink?
I just came to discuss the case with them
There’s no way I drank a lot
Then why don’t you remember anything?
Then what do you remember?
Just
Just seeing an
An enemy from before
Who?
Mad Dog
What was he doing here?
I don’t know that either
He suddenly rushed in I started to fight with him
When I opened my eyes, I saw you and A-guang
And then
Peng Ming-jie was dead
Wait a minute
Who’s Mad Dog?
The other rival gang
Used to have a score to settle with him
Later they had a fatal showdown
And he was accidently killed
You killed him?
It was an accident
You don’t remember if you killed him or not?
Just like this time
You think I like being like this?
You think I want to see all of these weird and strange things?
His dying doesn’t make me feel too good either
I just told you, I don’t remember anything
A-hai, that’s okay
Look around
Do you see anything?
Nothing
Let me take you to the Taoist temple
To get some blessings
What Taoist temple
Stop talking about those
Unscientific and unproven things
Losing your memory after just having a little bit to drink
Points clearly to a problem with the drink itself
But in our investigation report
There was nothing
Maybe they switched the drinks
I’ll take a look at the samples again
But do a detailed analysis for drugs or other elements
If the alcohol
Was really tampered with
You may have a chance to turn suspicions elsewhere
Don’t go anywhere during this time
Stop making trouble
Ok, just stay home
Just leave everything to me and Sheng-yin
GHB
