[Raising Flag Tea Plantation]
Shopkeeper, give me a bottle of water and crackers.
All right.
How much is that?
¥3.
Then give me the small bottle instead.
All right.
Crackers. The total is ¥2.
Thanks.
Brother, lend me some money.
Only ¥200.
This is all I have. After these are gone,
if I still can't get work, I have to go back to my old hometown.
Take this. Take this money to get a ticket home.
Don't move. Stay here for another five minutes before you leave.
Get him. He robbed my money!
He robbed my money!
Grab him!
Catch him. He robbed me!
Don't run away!
You stop right there!
Keep running...
Get up!

This piece is already recorded.
Senior!
- Where is it? - Over there.
Gloves.
Are you almost done?
I chased him all the way here.
Only these? What about the rest?
Only these, Senior. We are still looking for the rest. I have sent men over there to search.
Who called the police?
The two men over there. The one wearing glasses and the one beside him.
What happened?
They said he robbed the man wearing glasses.
Then they fell down and found this arm.
Let's go and ask them.
What else is there?
I don't care. Return the money to me.
Didn't we agree not to mention it?
What do you mean, don't mention it? I called the police because I want my money back.
Otherwise, why should I call the police? Don't get mixed up!
Enough! Enough!
You called the police?
Yes, Officer. I'm the one who called the police.
He robbed me. Arrest him quickly!
I'm asking you about the corpse. What happened?
I came out of that shop and he robbed me.
He ran away, so I chased him.
I chased him all the way there.
Then he fell down.
And we saw... that thing.
Did you see any other things?
How much did he rob you of?
¥200!
He returned ¥100 to me.
Senior, the weapon he used. The edge hasn't been sharpened to cut yet.
Look, Officer, but that is still aggravated robbery!
Don't make trouble. We will notify you later.
Stand here.
Don't go away.
Are any marks left at the scene?
There are no traces at all. There was heavy rain here two days again. Everything was washed away.
Who dug it out?
Old Gao did it. He's the only one who touched it. He said he wanted to bring some new things back.
The Material Evidence Branch is not allowed to take anything until after I give the command to pack up.
- No, Senior. He is a section chief. I can't stop him! - What section chief?
That section should be disbanded!
Disband who?
Weapon.
Are you sure this is the weapon used?
If you don't test it, how would I know if it is the weapon used?
No, you smear it full of fingerprints. How am I going to test it?
No more fingerprints.
Old Gao, isn't there someone in your family who grows tea?
Yes, but not this kind.
No, I know it's not this kind. I want to find out something from you.
There's a ditch between the tea plants. It is dug up and then filled up again. What does it mean?
That's the fertilization ditch. Dig up the soil and fill the ditch with fertilizer, and then fill it up with soil again.
How deep is the fertilization ditch?
Just about tens of centimeters.
Okay, thank you.
Don't dig blindly!
There's a ditch between the tea plants.
Dig along the ditches. Dig one by one.
- Yes! - Yes!
Senior, I'll take a look over there.
Where's Old Shi? Get him over here.
Old Shi!
Old Shi, are you the Deity of Groundskeeping? You came out of nowhere so quickly.
I have already tested it.
Look here. The bone was not broken. The joint was cut open.
A dagger is used to cut up the corpse?
Take a look at this. The muscles were cut apart neatly.
The knife marks are in a fishtail pattern. The bone has striation hack marks.
Cleaver?
This is interesting.
The wound cuts indicate clearly that it was done by one person.
Why cut the corpse up? To place the pieces in bags for convenient disposal.
Whether it's cut or chopped,
one type of tool would suffice. Who would bother to use two different tools?
Supervisor Lu, we found a corpse bag in the fertilization ditch.
Bring it over here.
Reckon it will be more than two bags.
Take a look at it first.
Gently. Gently.
Senior, we found another one.
It was in the fertilization ditch, too.
How many tea farming households are there on these hills?
We just found out there are more than a hundred. What is it, Senior? Do we have to investigate the tea farmers as well?
Three gunny sacks. Give two to Old Gao. You take one. Go and check from which family from where it came from.
Senior, all the burlap sacks look the same. There's no way to check.
Check. I'll check. I'll check.
But Senior, the problem is the three bags weigh about 160 catties (80 kg) altogether. (Catty = 1.3 lbs)
We are about done. Can the team pack up and go?
The deceased is male. His height is about 1.7 meters (5.5 feet).
Age is around thirty-five to forty years. Weight is about two hundred to two hundred and ten catties.
1.7 meters? More than two hundred and ten catties (105 kg, 277 lbs)? So fat?
Where are the other fifty catties (25 kg, 66 lbs)?
Oh right! I'll look. I'll look for them.
Supervisor Lu, if we can't find the head and hip bone, this case will be difficult to solve.
Keep on looking first. We can definitely find them.
Supervisor Lu, what about those two fellows? Should we let the district team take them away?
I'll do it.
Brother Shi, you keep looking.
I'll go take care of those two young people.
Okay.
Officer, anyway he stole my money.
You should lock him up immediately.
- Police Officer. - You can go now.
Take the money and go.
- And him? - What does that have to do with you? Did you want to share a cell?
I-- Thank you.
Did you take drugs?
Do you want to use the bathroom?
Go. There's one behind the hills.
Go.
Thank you, Officer. Thank you.
- Eggy Boy! - I'm here!
Find the rest of the corpse. Go and ask around where the burlap sacks came from!
Men, retreat!
Yes, sir!
[Deputy Director Dong Lingqi]
Blood type: B. Bone density: T value 1.116.
About 35 years old. Body fat content: 45%.
Height: 1.75 m. Weight: 110 kg.
There's no stomach, so it's difficult to judge the time of death. I could only determine by skin discoloration.
The corpse was found on the 7th. If we make an estimation backwards by over fifty hours,
the murder took place on the night of the 4th.
We didn't find the head. We don't know who it is.
There are eleven pieces altogether.
When you have put them together, check for the fatal wound.
The deceased did not show any evidence of being poisoned.
But there are some needle marks on the belly and inner thighs.
Diabetes, pulmonary heart disease--
I have no interest in his health condition.
I'm only interested in who he is and how he died.
- Can't figure that out. - We must find out even if we can't.
Last time, you told me it was a skewer. It turned out to be a damn needle.
You made a fool out of me.
Who's making you a fool?
You are shutting us down now?
- What are you basing that on? My boss is not back yet. Why are you talking about? - Old Wu,
what's all this about? I'm still running a business in the daylight. Why are you making such a big scene?
What is the situation? Take a look yourself.
Are you taking drugs?
He isn't taking drugs; he's involved in selling drugs.
Hey! Take him away!
Old Wu! Don't worry.
I give you my word that such things will never happen again. Is that okay?
Stop your business. Reorganize.
I'm not breaking the law. I can't ask my customers who are here for a drink...
to go through security checks, right?
I didn't say you broke the law. I said, stop your business and reorganize.
Let us go.
Let's go!
Tidy up the place.
It's been three days.
There's a lot of policemen.
We still can't find the remaining pieces of the corpse.
No, Senior, I have already checked all those things you asked me to.
There are a total of 121 households living on these hills, and all of them are elderly.
The main occupation here is tea planting, but the younger generation are not interested in this.
The older generation have either passed away, or their children took them to live in the city.
I've also asked about the burlap sacks. All the people here use the same sacks.
That's really no way to check. Those are just ordinary burlap sacks for storing tea.
The murder killed the victim on the 4th, chopped the body up on the 5th and threw the pieces in this location on the 6th and 7th.
No one saw any stranger or suspicious person.
When will you be able to find the rest?
Senior, it's really hard for me to say.
These two days, I led all the brothers in a grid pattern search on all the surfaces that you can see.
What about the places that can't be seen?
What about the fertilization ditches? Didn't I tell you about them?
Senior, there are more than three thousand fertilization ditches. How are we going to search them?
Even if we want to search, they won't agree to it. They depend on these for their livelihood.
Search. Search. We will search all of them.
What are the two of you doing? If you want to date each other, go home and do it!
Out of the way! Out of the way!
Out of the way!
There's a bomb here.
Everyone leave for your safety.
Hey, what's the situation?
You've done well. Yesterday, you brought people to shut my bar down.
Today, you came to work on my nightclub!
What quarrel are you looking for this time?
This is a fire safety notice. [Fail][Fail][Fail]
There are only two fire hydrants in the four emergency exits in your shop.
You also have to cooperate with the fire department to ensure that this matter is carried out properly
before you continue with the business.
You said there was a bomb in my business scaring away my customers. Where's the bomb, huh?
With these fire hazards around,
what difference are they from a bomb?
You really know how to talk like a bureaucrat.
Seal up this place!
They are obviously making trouble for you. File a lawsuit against them!
I can't win them with this kind of lawsuit.
This matter is obviously not targeting Mr. Chen.
It is targeting me.
It can't be that Lu Li, can it?
I doubt that he has the capability to do such a thing.
Old Wu, we are friends.
Who is trying to make trouble for me? What is it about? You can come straight to the point.
- You can't enter. - I can't enter?
[Hua City Police Station]
Isn't this Chief Dong of our Crime Investigation Bureau?
What did you want to speak to me about?
You did well in that artist-pregnant woman case.
I have already carefully gone through all the files related to this case.
Who told you about this? Was it Lu Li?
Can he at least have some integrity?
Sit.
You could've at least let me know first that you were coming to my place to treat me to a drink.
Let's have a nice chat.
Just then, you mentioned Lu Li...
That's right. Previously, Lu Li had a partner by the name of Chu Dao.
Actually, they were collaborating well with each other.
In the earlier half of this year, something bad happened.
Lu Li shot and killed his partner Chu Dao? Seriously?
We don't know for sure yet if it was him.
But I believe there will be a final verdict on the matter in the future.
Now, I don't want Lu Li to carry out his work all by himself.
So... I want to find him a partner.
Finding me?
Don't mess around. Can I even be a partner with Lu Li?
That being said, what if he beat me to death someday? I am not willing to sell my life.
- You're kidding me. - Do I look like I'm kidding?
How about this? Go and partner up with him first. Go to the crime scene and solve the case together.
Can't do it. Who is Lu Li? He's the team leader, right?
You're the deputy chief. What do you want by bringing me there?
If Lu Li leaves, wouldn't you be the team leader then?
He definitely won't leave. Losers often live to more than one hundred years old.
He is a classic loser. It must be very hard on you today,
making such a big ruckus just to turn me into a policeman.
You're forcing me now?
I'm not forcing you. I will issue you a gun.
I will issue you a uniform. You'll even get a government salary.
Follow me and work for me. How about that?
Chief Dong, you really esteemed me too highly.
I am still all right with fighting lawsuits.
But to ask me to go and arrest people, I really can't put on such a mantle.
This place... from now on, will no longer belong to you anymore.
Mr. Chen, what kind of business makes the most money nowadays?
A clothing store or selling cosmetics? Worse comes to worst, we can even open a movie theater.
Those are all more profitable. Nightclubs and bars are not doable anymore.
Also, they are outdated. There is trouble every few days.
The little money made is paid out to the cops. Is that right?
Sit.
What did Pixiu tell you?
Who is Pixiu?
Deputy Director Dong is Pixiu. Is that correct?
He said he wants me to join the police force to work for him.
Do you want to be a cop? Then will you be his or mine?
Of course, I am still yours.
Think about it. Back then, it was the cops that took my livelihood away.
I can't be a lawyer anymore. If it wasn't for you, I don't even know where I would be now.
- Then you should go. - What?
I don't want to go. I can't do that stuff.
I heard that the company you are managing for me is shut down.
Are you going to take responsibility for that?
Kang, chop his hands and feet off.
All right... I will do it. I will.
You like to investigate crimes. It will be good that I have a man in the police department.
I won't force you. If you think you can't handle it,
then go find a hole and hide in there.
But don't ever let me find you.
It's been five days. You still haven't figured the identification of the dismembered bodies.
Did you see the reporters out there? Constantly surrounding us.
I can't keep telling them: "No comments."
I've checked the missing persons from the last few months.
A height of 175 centimeters and a weight over 100 kilograms.
There's no one fitting that description.
I agreed to take those reporters out for a meal.
That was to clean up for you. You should at least give me something.
Can you invite them out in a few days instead? Saturday.
- Saturday is too late. - I can't figure it out in two days.
What are you waiting for exactly?
I am waiting for a rain shower.
Should I ask for a priest to beg for rain for you?
You must get me the identification before Friday.
If you are too busy and need more workforce, I can get you more people.
Supervisor Lu, are you confident about the case of a dismembered body?
I am very confident. I've never encountered a headless case before.
I believe that we can find the truth in all cases.
Just like the Knitting Needle Case previously.
It was solved at the end.
Knitting needle.
If I didn't tell you they were knitting needles, you would still be looking for skewers somewhere.
I can't figure out how he can make it so well with that IQ level.
How is it?
There is no one else's blood besides the victim's.
We are missing the head.
Also, the hip area. If connected together here...
Then there's a total of four pieces.
I must find his head to find out who he is.
Senior!
There's a new colleague coming. Want to see him? Director Dong says he will be your new partner.
I would rather be partnered with you then a new person.
Hello, colleagues. I am your new associate.
I am Chi Zheng.
New colleague, you don't need to wear that uniform here.
Those who wear that getup are all outside patrolling.
- You are... - Just following regulations.
I will sit here.
Brother.
There is a Wen lady cop...
Didn't she come to work today?
Do you mean Officer Wen?
- Probably. - She is not from our department.
She only gets involved when the case involves a cross-regional information investigation.
Eggy Boy, are you hungry?
Supervisor Lu, when can you let me see the files for the tea plantation dismembered body case?
I want to start investigating, too.
Who is so handsome?
Miss, a cup of coffee, please.
All right, Officer Chi.
What were they thinking?
Turning you into a cop. So after you catch someone, then the next step you could be their lawyer?
Maybe that's really their plan.
That way there's performance and also a profit.
- Is that true? - Of course not. You believe everything I say.
Then did you go to the police department for that pretty officer?
- What? - That pretty lady officer?
Nonsense.
Then why?
Because Mr. Chen
said if I don't go, he will chop my hands off.
Would you do it then?
You do look rather high-spirited in the uniform.
I like it.
Because the person wearing it is good looking.
Is it really nice looking? The uniform is kind of old-fashioned looking.
Chief Dong, I have definitely seen the 4th case.
I think the fourth corpse bag-- [Deputy Director Dong Lingqi]
Who am I?
Deputy Director Dong Lingqi.
Just as long as you know.
You are now a part of the Criminal Investigation Team; your supervisor is Lu Li.
- Didn't you say that I wouldn't have to answer to him? - That's outside. This is inside the precinct.
You never said there was any difference between outside and inside the precinct.
Then I'm telling you now, okay?
Wait.
Be careful. You still remember about Chu Dao, yes?
You mean Lu Li's partner.
The partner who died. You're a smart man.
When you go out on a case don't rush to the front so fast.
I don't want you to become another Chu Dao.
Got it.
Chu Dao was killed by Lu Li.
Go.
Take off your uniform.
- To do what? - When the rain stops, we'll go out on police business.
What?
What did the Deputy Director call you in for?
I thought you were gonna keep quiet for the entire afternoon. But you couldn't do it.
So what did he send you to do?
He says you used to have a partner, who was on very good terms with you,
his name was Chu Dao.
Later, he was framed as a dirty cop
and was shot dead in action.
He was for certain colluding with escaped convicts.
It was you who shot him dead.
More or less.
You two... how long were you partners for?
Every day riding together in that car.
Ever since we graduated from the academy. Seven years.
Well, then, the guy couldn't have been much.
Right? Quite annoying.
No, he was pretty good.
When I got married he was my best man. One year, I spent the Lunar New Year at his home.
And then you killed him.
Bro, next time, if I do anything without due consideration,
please let me know.
What do you mean by giving me this?
Dig up a corpse. You got the experience.
- Dig here? Are you sure this is the place? - Dig!
All right, Supervisor Lu.
- Hey, where are you going? - It's not there.
Why didn't you say so earlier?
The ditch is just a dozen centimeters deep. If you don't find it in one shovel. Why need a second? Dig here.
So it just takes a stroke of a shovel! Can't you do it yourself?
- Did you bring your gun? - Yes.
Where do I dig?
There are 3,000 ditches here. How do you know which one it is?
Dig at where there's a water puddle.
The soil in the fertilizing ditch is very soft.
If it rains, the water will soak in and there will be no puddle.
If the killer buried the body below,
the rainwater wouldn't be able to soak in and it would pool.
Either you were born a farmer,
or you are the killer.
There's a puddle there, I'll have a look.
I'll go from there.
Chi Zhen! Found it.
Dig it up, dig it up. Dig.
The head.
The head's inside.
The face is completely scratched.
We got the head.
With the skull, can it be restored?
That should be no problem.
The hipbone is here, too.
That's all.
Disgusting.
Are you groping his underwear?
What are you doing?
The previous parts didn't have any clothes.
It seems there's something.
Look.
A piece of paper.
A boarding pass.
It says that he landed on the 3rd from Cross Harbour to Hua City.
Then on the 4th, he died.
What does it say here? A name.
"Chen."
Call the information team. Get-Get Wen Miaoling to help with the investigation.
Even if we ask her, I'm not sure that she can find out.
Chen Mingyang. The victim's name might be Chen Mingyang.
"Chen Mingyang?"
