Hello? Yes.
Sorry, I've just returned from fishing.
I didn't expect things to come to this.
I will resolve it as soon as possible.
I understand.
I'll do it now.
Our village had always been peaceful.
Ever since that cursed mute, Chan Wing came to our village,
the harvest of fish has been reduced.
We meet with stormy seas each time we go out to sea for fishing.
That Chan Wing must be...
performing some weird rituals in our village,
worshiping the ghost temple...
and luring sea creatures into our village.
Even his daughter is not allowed to go to school.
There must be something going on.
Jiu and his wife must have been killed by the sea creature.
So we should chase them out of the village together.
Mr. Tong, how do you think?
(Psycho Detective 2)
Once, in Kowloon, I had a friend by the name of Wong Yi.
We indulged in prostitution, gambling and drugs.
We took drugs when we had money and robbed when we didn't.
So why did you become a fisherman?
We had our own families after that.
We didn't want to go on the way we did.
So you abandoned your life of crime and lived under an assumed name?
There was a grade ten cyclone five years ago.
A huge wave took Wong Yi, his wife and child away.
I heard that people who die at sea will become lonely spirits.
That's why I used the only gun Wong Yi left behind...
to enshrine and worship them.
You could have performed a ceremony to help them rest in peace.
You didn't have to worship the ghost temple.
What about the animal innards?
They don't understand us and they don't like us.
So you came up with this deception to scare them?
Since the sea creature has nothing to do with the ghost temple,
let's investigate elsewhere.
Siu Ching is not a sea creature.
Siu Ching won't harm people.
Siu Ching is Wong Yi's son.
My daughter misses him.
She often imagines playing with him by the sea.
I really did see him.
He will come out of the sea at night.
- Arrest Chan Wing. - Arrest Chan Wing.
He is right there!
Chan Wing.
Your sea creature killed all the fish around our fishing raft.
Don't slander him.
The sea creature has nothing to do with Chan Wing.
I'm not slandering him. He really does worship the ghost temple.
- Don't waste your breath. Take him! - Seize him!
Can you all please be reasonable?
We said it has nothing to do with him.
Even if he didn't lure the sea creature out,
whatever he worshiped must have provoked it.
- Be quiet. - Here's the police.
Officer, these people are slandering Chan Wing.
Officer.
Chan Wing set up a ghost temple and lured out the sea creature...
which killed people.
If we don't protect ourselves, should we sit and wait for death?
- That's right. - That's right.
- Is he Chan Wing? - Yes.
Guys, go arrest him.
Officer, he really didn't do it.
Officer, you're not really going to arrest him, are you?
Detective Gan found the ghost temple.
Let's talk when we get there.
Detective Gan, this is it.
Detective Gan.
That's right, this is Chan Wing's ghost temple.
But there's nothing wrong in there.
Police work is all about evidence.
Officers, take these things away.
Yes, sir.
Detective Gan, that gun is too rusty to shoot.
Yes, Detective Gan.
Chan Wing's matter has nothing to do with your team.
Why don't you focus on investigating the sea creature?
Take Chan Wing and everything here away.
Surely you can see through it with all your experience.
Things aren't what they seem, Detective Gan.
Chuen.
He only used the gun to worship his friend.
Can't you be reasonable?
How am I going to answer to Master for your impetuousness?
Sze Ma Chi Chuen.
Just because you've helped the police in a few cases...
doesn't mean you can be impudent.
Chan Wing is innocent! He didn't kill anyone!
The court will decide if he is guilty or not.
Not you or I.
Arrest him too.
It can't be.
That creature isn't as terrible as the fishing folks make it out to be.
I couldn't sense it either at the scene.
Master.
Chuen is in trouble.
Detective Gan has arrested him.
June 1975, Ji Fa Goldsmith.
February 1976, Fuk Loi Jewelry.
October 1977, Ji Cheung Pawnshop.
All these robbery cases were committed by me alone.
Major and minor cases of robbing pedestrians are...
- so numerous that I've forgotten. - Enough, Chan Wing.
Sze Ma Chi Chuen.
One more word out of you and I'll book you for obstruction of justice.
I don't want to implicate anyone.
My real name is Lei Hong.
And I'm a fugitive from the law.
I'll be fully responsible for my crimes. Can you let Chi Chuen go?
You don't have to let me go.
If you have a conscience, you should let him go.
He has a daughter to care for.
Sit down!
Chuen, enough!
I have to pay for it. Detective Gan is right.
I'm the police.
If someone commits a crime, I have to arrest him.
Chuen.
John, let's talk.
I won't pursue Chi Chuen's issue.
But I still have to follow procedures.
Understood.
What about Chan Wing?
I'll let some other departments handle it.
Imprisonment is definite.
But I will try and plead for leniency on his behalf.
I hope he can be freed soon to see his daughter.
By the way, I'll have to leave it to you and your three disciples...
to return to the village and investigate that sea creature.
If we were to go back there, we might alert the perpetrators.
But if we still can't find any clues,
there's no telling if someone might blame this on Chan Wing.
You don't have to worry about this.
Chuen and the others will get to the bottom of it.
Mr. Pang.
Is there really not a single occultism to show?
It doesn't have to be anything awesome.
Some exorcism and casting out demons will do.
Your boss hasn't given up yet?
Sometimes, I don't know if I'm still a cop.
From the way you treat your subordinates, Chan Wing and Chuen,
I know you're a good cop.
The kind who is loyal and just ends up a beggar.
See if you can make a report on this.
This one?
This is a charm that you usually use.
Then you'll have to see who uses it.
What you mean is, I tell them this is occultism.
That's true too.
After all, the higher-ups don't know anything.
You've got it wrong.
I was talking about the power that the charm user has.
As to whether you can use this to hoodwink your superiors,
it all depends on you. You decide.
Sing, Man.
Sorry, Sing.
You know to apologize, do you?
The police is all over the fishing raft!
How am I going to send out the goods?
I've already got someone else to bear the blame for that matter.
He has been arrested, so everything will be all right soon.
If it's all right, then hurry back to the raft!
Why are you still standing here?
- Yes. - Another thing!
From now on, whether there's trouble or not,
don't bother me anymore!
It's not my business whether you live or die!
Yes, Sing. I'll get going.
We still have a lot of our stuff at his place.
Aren't you afraid something may go wrong by chasing him off like that?
Not by the looks of him.
We'll see after we're done with this job.
We have to get back our goods as soon as possible.
Understood.
I keep hitting a snag everywhere.
It looks like I really need to have Sze Ma Chi Chuen.
I'll think up something for you.
Siu Mui.
What are you drawing?
Siu Ching.
Who is Siu Ching?
This is Siu Ching, this is Dad, this is me.
We're playing together in a very beautiful place.
We're having great fun and no one comes to catch us.
Is this what Siu Ching looks like?
No.
I can't draw him.
What I drew doesn't look like him at all.
How about this?
Tell me what Siu Ching looks like.
I'll draw him for you.
Great!
Siu Mui is in there.
You'll give her a fright looking like this.
I couldn't help her dad.
If you managed to help free her dad,
do you think this will be best for Siu Mui?
But she is too young to be separated from her dad.
They will reunite, right?
Get your spirits up.
- Master. - Master.
Where's Dad?
Sorry, Siu Mui.
I couldn't bring your dad back.
So when will he return?
Siu Mui, your dad did some bad things in the past.
He has to pay for it now.
He might not be able to return so soon.
Okay, I understand.
I'll be good as I wait for Dad's return.
Master, this is the sea creature that Siu Mui drew.
This is the sea creature that I drew based on Siu Mui's description.
I've read so many books,
but I've never come across a creature such as this.
For now, you guys haven't any evidence...
and you've never seen it yourself.
I think this could be a figment of Siu Mui's imagination.
If Chan Wing didn't lure that sea creature out,
who killed Mr. and Mrs. Jiu?
The last person to see them alive was Mr. Tong.
Mr. Tong accused Chan Wing.
But now there's nothing on Chan Wing.
So could Mr. Tong be lying?
We can't rule out the possibility...
that the person who reported the case could also be the murderer.
Master.
Don't regard me as your master today.
I know this rooftop is a sacred place to you three fellow disciples.
You guys come here every time to chat.
You couldn't sleep the whole of last night.
Chung and Bat have gone back to rest.
Let me take their place today.
I'll be your friend and lend you an ear as you unload yourself.
Thank you, Mas...
Thank you, Mr. Pang.
I'm starting to feel...
that even if I can break away from my psychic abilities,
even if I can become a normal person again,
life might still be just as difficult for me.
It might even be more difficult than before.
That's why you need to remember.
Don't ever forget what is right and what is wrong.
Only when you can separate between the two...
that you can quickly find your bearings again when you're lost.
I'll remember that.
So you know what you should do now?
I will continue to get to the bottom of the sea creature mystery...
and clear Chan Wing's name.
If you feel it's right, take courage and go do it.
But I'm afraid I'll act impetuously again like yesterday.
It's because I'm supporting you...
that I asked you to take courage and go do it.
Man.
Stop the nonsense, come with me.
I've picked a lot for you.
My benefactor will save me three times.
The first time was the seventh month of this lunar year.
The ghost festival.
Whatever I, Guai Sing, want,
I've never failed to get.
You guys...
I'm sure you're very clear about what Sing wants you to do.
Sze Ma Chi Chuen?
This is very easy math.
There are so many people around. You just need to exchange with one.
What's more, Sing wants to give him wealth and status.
He is Pang Bak Chuen's disciple.
He only trusts in Pang Bak Chuen.
It's no use of me saying anything.
Hoi, you're an intelligent guy.
You can definitely do it.
Whatever it is, Sing and I will wait for your good news.
Man.
I'll go back with you!
Torture, kill, whatever, do it to me alone!
You know Sing well enough.
Do you think there's any use that you returning with me?
It's best if you take Sze Ma Chi Chuen back with you.
Sing, it's all done.
Chan Wing has been arrested and the police have all gone.
No one suspects me.
I believe no one knows I killed them.
It's all safe now. You can send out the goods anytime.
Okay, bye.
Stealing our things? Ma!
You can't escape.
Clear skies and the earth spirits. The divine troops, come quickly.
Go.
