[Ordinary Greatness]

[Episode 33]

[The Snow keeps Falling.]

Chief Zhou.

Well, 70...

15 or 16 years ago,

it shouldn't be the age of retirement.

At that time,

there was an incident at the police station,

so I took early retirement.

What is it?

Well...

Here, eat more.

Eat it while it's hot.

Eat more while it's hot.

Anyway,

I took early retirement.

He quit not long

after I retired.

Before he left, he came to say goodbye to me

and brought me some bacon.

Have you heard from him

since he left?

No.

In all these years,

we've never spoken.

Chief,

when Yue Wei was at the police station,

did you notice anything unusual about him?

I didn't feel that.

But this kid

was very meticulous.

He got along with everyone at the station.

But he's not too close to anyone,

including me.

Chief, may I ask you something?

Has he

ever done anything

with women around here?

Women? What shall I say?

Catch a cold?

Have a cold?

Honey,

get him some medicine.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Go on.

Go ahead. Go ahead.

How shall I put this...

When he worked here,

he couldn't

find a good match.

He was unwilling to

marry a country woman.

But the city people

despised him

because he was only an auxiliary policeman.

Catch a cold?

Take some medicine and you'll be fine.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Zhou.

You're welcome.

By the way,

I wonder if he left the station

because of that.

-What is it? -What is it?

This is a wooded area.

There're more men than women.

Some people

sold sex

on the hills.

Once I dealt with

a couple of women who went up the mountain for prostitution.

I let them go

after a few days.

And a few days later,

a woman came over.

She said

Yue Wei went to her place.

He threatened her

with prostitution

and raped her.

This was a very serious matter.

So I went to talk to Yue Wei about it.

He insisted that

he had feelings for her and she was willing.

That woman had no evidence.

And the police station didn't want the story to go public.

So this matter

was put to one side.

Anyway,

this woman was

the target of our crackdown.

Whether you had evidence or not,

it was a mistake

for Yue Wei to have such an illicit relationship

with this woman.

Therefore,

the police station gave him a serious warning.

Then I retired.

Before long,

he quit, too.

Chief Zhou.

Sorry, Chief Zhou.

It's our chief.

I'm gonna take this.

Hello, Chief.

I'll have a drink with you.

Eat more.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I can't hear you.

Wait.

Go ahead, go ahead. What is it?

Yes, I can hear you.

Yue Wei may have gone home.

This was the word from the vice squad.

They've been spying on him.

Captain Luo called me just now.

He said

Yue Wei drove out of town today.

He got on the highway and headed northeast.

He might have gone home.

Okay, okay, okay. I got it.

Well,

we're chatting with

the former chief of the police station

where he used to work.

If he does come back,

we might have to stay a few more days.

Okay.

Chief, say happy new year to Mrs. Wang for me.

Who is it?

Zhou Hui.

Mrs. Cao.

Chief Wang. Chief Cheng.

What are you doing here?

The Spring Festival is coming,

so we come to see you.

Chief Wang, I'm good with the kid.

There's no man in the house now.

It's not convenient.

So I won't invite you in.

Look at you.

We are not outsiders.

Yes.

We want to go inside.

Chief Wang,

Jianjun is not a cop anymore.

He has nothing to do with you.

What are you doing here?

Zhou Hui,

didn't I tell you?

Although Jianjun is not a police officer anymore,

in our hearts,

he will always be one of us.

The Spring Festival is coming.

So we come to see you

and Yaya.

I don't need your pity.

Mrs. Cao,

how could you say that?

We don't pity you.

We just came to see you on behalf of Jianjun.

You don't want to let us in

because we bring so few things?

Come in, please.

Yaya, come here, come here, come here.

Give me a hug.

-Yaya. -Hello, hello.

You must have grown tall.

Good, good.

Here, Yaya.

Take this.

No, she can't take this.

Why not?

I'm her uncle.

This is the lucky money I gave her.

I hope she can grow up happily.

Just take it.

This is a blessing for the child.

Thank uncle.

Okay.

Thank you, uncle.

Yaya, this is from Uncle Cheng.

I wish you more and more beautiful

and become happier in the new year.

Take it.

Thank Uncle Cheng.

Thank you, Uncle Cheng.

You're welcome.

Happy new year.

Thank you.

By the way, Zhou Hui,

I was wondering

if you could let Yaya in to watch TV for a while.

Yaya, go inside and play by yourself.

Okay, see you later.

See you later.

This is from the station...

I... I really can't take this.

Take it. Take it.

Everyone has it.

It's new year.

Right, right.

Thank you.

Tomorrow will be Chinese New Year's Eve.

What are your plans?

I'll spend the holidays with my child.

Zhou Hui,

I know, because of Jianjun,

you and your mom got a little...

But it's still your family.

You might as well go back.

No.

I'm fine with the kid.

All right.

I'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow afternoon.

Here's the thing.

Some comrades in the police station

are on a business trip.

They won't be back until tomorrow night.

So we decided to

take their families

to the police station

to make dumplings and celebrate the New Year's Eve together.

I'm not going.

I can't hold my head up

when I see them.

Zhou Hui, I'm going to criticize you.

Do you think we all

despise you?

You can't think like that.

You're fine,

but you need to think about Yaya.

For the sake of your child,

go to the police station tomorrow night for the New Year's Eve, okay?

We'll have a good time together.

There're fireworks.

It's a bit like Chinese New Year.

Here.

This pavilion.

We'll all gather here in a minute.

Did you all remember

the license plate he used?

-Yes. -Yes.

I saw

them all parked outside.

I don't think he's gonna change his number when he gets back.

If you don't find the license plate,

just take a look at

his front windshield, okay?

Okay.

If you find it, don't disturb him.

Report back to me.

Go ahead.

Let’s go.

[29th Day of the Twelfth Lunar Month]

[New Year's Eve]

Master, this car is so cheap.

It costs only 200 yuan a day.

We don't have this kind of price on our end.

Cheap means the economy is bad here.

You still have a cold?

I'll go to the drugstore up front

and get you some cold medicine.

Did you buy anything else?

Yue Wei has seen us before.

Yes. They're in the back.

This?

Eat.

We'll keep looking this afternoon.

He must be in this area. He can't get away.

He must be at home during the Spring Festival.

This is our best chance to catch him.

It is no use regretting if we miss the chance.

Here we go.

Why is there another dish?

Come on, guys.

It's Chinese New Year and you're outside.

I'll add one more dish for you,

Braised Pork with Vermicelli.

Happy new year!

Thank you, sir.

Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Today is New Year's Eve. Why aren't there any guests?

You may not know,

it's our custom

to have dinner outside on New Year's Eve.

Check it out tonight. It's packed.

Reservations should be made two months in advance.

But you guys are kind of special.

What are you guys doing out here during the festival?

We have a little project

to finish.

If we're done, we're leaving today.

Thank you, sir. May the gold fill your pocket.

May the gold fill your pocket. May the gold fill your pocket.

Please enjoy. Please enjoy.

See?

The boss even gave us extra food.

I'm sure we'll find him today.

Eat.

Master.

Eat more.

Okay.

Master, this is the village.

I heard it's the third from the bottom west of the village.

Look, Yue Wei's car.

Drive over there before he sees us.

Put on your sunglasses

for camouflage.

Let's go ahead and find a place to hide.

Crouch and keep an eye on him.

Come on. Here.

Master, why did he come back

during the Spring Festival?

I don't know.

But,

there must be something wrong.

Maybe he found out

Captain Luo and the others were watching him.

How long has it been

since Liu Xiaoli last reported the crime?

About three months.

Only three months?

That doesn't seem likely.

It's said that serial killings

are getting more and more frequent.

But three months is a bit tight.

Master,

don't forget that

if the rape was true,

he only raped Liu Xiaoli last time.

He didn't do anything else.

You mean

he didn't finish the killing?

Is that even a possibility or not?

Right.

You know what? You keep watching.

I'll call Captain Luo.

Okay.

Keep an eye on it.

Captain Luo.

Chen, happy new year.

Happy new year. Happy new year.

I just want to ask you,

have there been any major cases

in the city recently?

Case?

Yes, it's mostly about

prostitutes disappearing or being killed.

There were two robberies and murders.

The cases were solved and the men were arrested.

Okay, okay, got it.

Thank you.

How is it?

Any clues?

No.

There were two robberies and murders.

Both cases were solved

and the criminals were caught.

Then what is he doing back here?

Keep watching.

Master, we can't

stay here all the time.

We're gonna freeze to death lying like this all day.

We can take turns.

You get in the car first.

Turn the car on and warm yourself up.

What if the oil dries up

and he comes out?

You think you're smart?

Don't worry.

Do you think I didn't think of that?

I went out

while we were having the meal.

I saw a gas station next to the restaurant.

Don't worry.

Our gas tank is full.

Good job, boy.

You got wiser.

All right, I'm gonna warm up in the car.

Go ahead.

Keep an eye on it.

Okay, okay.

Get yourself warm.

Ride a horse.

Stay safe.

It's a very easy way to hit your head.

Be careful when you play.

Ride it flat.

Watch out. Be careful of the car.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Keep an eye on your child.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Keep an eye on him.

Mom, let's play a little longer.

Go home early and take care of your brother.

Sister.

Master, is that him?

Let's go outside.

Master, I remember him.

It must be him.

The license plate

and the cracks in the glass match up.

I'm sure of it.

I need you to call them all back.

It's suspicious

to be walking around a residential area

today.

Qiancheng,

watch that intersection

and see if he leaves here.

Maybe he came back to visit relatives.

Master, no one

would choose to visit relatives today.

What if...

What if he's not from here

and he came here to visit relatives?

If we act hastily,

it could lead to something else.

Maybe we should go to the local police station

and check his household registration.

What are you thinking?

Director Liu made it clear

he didn't want us to arrest him today.

What if we go there

and he disagrees again,

what are we gonna do?

We are not gonna catch him.

We just bump into him.

We'll talk to them

when we have a clear target.

Okay.

All right. Call them.

Chief,

we found

the target.

But here's a new thing.

Qi Bei's comrades

don't agree with our arrest today.

Why don't you talk to them?

Okay.

Okay, got it.

Master, I'm done.

You go ahead.

You just got back.

Young people are strong.

I just warm myself up.

How is it going? Any movement?

No, the car is still there.

What will we do

if he stays at home for New Year's Eve dinner?

Impossible.

He hasn't been back in years.

He will come back for a New Year's Eve dinner?

Liu Xiaoli?

How about this?

-You keep watching. I'll take this call. -Okay.

Hello, Liu Xiaoli.

What’s up?

Mr. Chen.

Happy new year, Mr. Chen.

There's nothing else.

I just wanted to call you to say new year's greetings.

Happy new year. Happy new year.

What's the matter?

Mr. Chen, my dad called me home for dinner this year.

We're making dumplings.

Mr. Chen, have you had the dumplings yet?

Yes, yes. I'm eating dumplings.

That's right, Xiaoli.

No matter how bad it is at home,

it's better than being out there.

Remember,

get along with your parents,

work hard and live your life well.

Okay, I got it.

Thank you.

Take care of yourself.

Okay, okay, okay.

Mr. Chen,

my mom asked me to make dumplings.

Bye.

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Liu Xiaoli

is finally on the right track.

Master,

tell me.

When I first saw Liu Xiaoli,

I thought she was full of lies.

How could you choose to believe her?

When you have your own child,

you'll understand.

There was a time

when Jiajia

thought I was her enemy.

I was confused.

I was wondering why on earth.

She hated me.

Fine, I understand.

But if you said she was a bad person,

I wouldn't believe you.

When I saw Liu Xiaoli,

I thought of Jiajia.

Master,

someone is coming out.

Is it Yue Wei?

Yes, yes, yes. It's Yue Wei.

It's him.

I'll get the car.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Let's watch him a little bit more.

Master,

wait, wait.

Let's watch him a little bit more.

Coming, he's coming.

Master.

Don't worry. Go get the car.

Don't get too close.

We're easy to be spotted.

Master, it'll be dark soon.

Where do you think he's driving to?

I don't know. Keep up with him first.

Okay.

There you are.

Happy new year. Happy new year. Happy new year.

Happy new year. Happy new year.

Happy new year. Happy new year.

Mrs. Zhang, happy new year.

Happy new year, Mrs. Zhang.

Chief, happy new year.

Today is Chinese New Year.

We're sending him on a business trip,

so you can't be together.

You need to understand.

Zhijie always told us

he would put the work first.

We're very happy

to have a family reunion dinner

with you this year.

Okay, okay, okay. All right, all right.

Mrs. Zhang, go inside, please.

Okay, we'll go in first.

We'll go in first.

-Chief Gao. -Look who's here.

Let me see. My dear daughter.

Chief Gao's daughter is so cute.

Be careful. Don't hit the head.

Come on, come on, come on. Have a look.

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. Say hello to them.

Uncle.

Auntie.

Auntie.

-Hello, auntie. -Say happy new year.

Give me a hug. Give me a hug. Give me a hug.

Okay.

Happy new year. Happy new year.

Get in there.

We'll go in first.

Go, go, go, honey.

You got advanced!

So cute!

Okay, here we are. Let's get out.

How did the two of them

get together?

Chief, you're being too rigid, aren't you?

They are not just good friends now.

Besides,

Xia Jie's mother and Liang...

Maybe after Chinese New Year,

we'll have to help them with their wedding.

No, no, no. You...

It's Chinese New Year. Don't gossip.

Don't talk nonsense.

It's true. It's true.

True what?

Chief.

-Sister. -Shouyi, happy new year.

Happy new year. Happy new year.

Shouyi, happy new year.

Happy new year.

Hello, Chief Wang.

Today is Chinese New Year.

Dawei can't spend the Spring Festival at home.

You're on your own for the New Year.

Is that okay?

I do have a problem.

You're kidding me.

I'm fine!

I spend the holiday with my sister.

We are fine.

Besides, we have Xia Jie with us.

That's great. That's great.

Well, get them in there.

I'll take care of them.

Xia Jie, here.

Just go ahead, Chief.

-Take her inside. -Auntie.

Hello, Director Liu.

Look at it.

Sorry to bother you on New Year's Eve.

Our chief

told us

that you're a workaholic.

You're afraid people won't bother you.

Director Liu, I'm telling you,

you have to understand how we feel.

The 100-day operation

ends today.

If we can't solve the case,

we're done.

So, Director Liu,

I need your support.

On behalf of

all the police of Balihe Police Station,

I salute you.

Okay, okay, okay.

Director Liu,

if you come to Pingling in the future,

you must tell me.

I'll treat you to dinner.

Okay. Okay, okay.

Deal.

Okay.

Okay, that's it.

That's it. That's it. Okay.

My goodness.

Chief.

Chief Wang.

There you are.

Thank you.

Yaya!

Did you say hello?

Happy new year, uncle.

Yaya, happy new year.

Okay, okay, okay.

Let's go. Go inside.

Come on, come on, come on. You go too.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Go inside. Go inside.

Yin,

is everyone here?

Yes, yes.

Go, go, go. Let's go.

Okay, okay, okay.

Bro.

How is it going?

I just walked around

and there's only one door in the yard.

The windows are in the back,

and through the windows

I could see the people working inside.

They should be preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

I'm sure he's at home.

Zhang,

here's the formality.

These are the two comrades

sent by Qi Bei to assist us in our operation.

They also brought us six walkie-talkies.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hello. Hello.

You're welcome.

Thank you. Thank you.

Look, today is Chinese New Year.

I'm sorry you can't spend the New Year at home.

It's okay.

That's what everybody does.

But, Officer Zhang,

our director said,

you can arrest him,

but you can't spoil the atmosphere of the people's New Year.

Sure, sure.

You identified him?

Yes.

His name is Zheng Youqian.

It's poignant to talk about him.

He has parents

and two children.

Can't he do anything else?

Why is he doing this?

If he leaves with us today,

who knows when he'll come back.

Yes.

A man

can take any path,

but not an evil one.

Yes.

It's almost time to have New Year's Eve dinner.

Maybe we should wait until they have their New Year's Eve dinner.

Okay?

Let's find a place to have New Year's Eve dinner.

Okay.

On this day,

every restaurant that is open is fully booked.

Yes.

Let's find a place to loosen up.

Okay.

Okay?

Let's go, go, go.

Don't run!

Happy New Year.

Is it good?

Here, here, here. eat it, eat it.

-Cheers. -Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year, Jiajia.

Chief. Chief.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Guys, I'd like to say something.

A year of nostalgia

is coming to an end.

An exciting new spring

is coming.

Great, great, great!

In the past year,

any achievements

of Balihe Police Station

were inseparable from the strong support

of all of you present here!

I also hope that

in the new year,

all of you can support

our Balihe Police Station's work!

Please, please.

Here, I

drink tea instead of wine

to all of us

for our hard work last year

and for greater achievements

in the new year.

Let's have a toast.

Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!

Where's the car?

It seems to go that way.

Master. Master.

Drive the car over there.

Drive the car over there. Don't stop. Don't stop.

Stop, stop, stop.

Stop. Stop, stop, stop.

Is it his car?

Yes.

I looked at the license plate. This is Pingling's.

Is he in the car?

No.

How about this?

You wait in the car.

I'll check it out.

Master, I'll go with you.

No, no, no.

Two people are easy to be spotted.

Dawei,

when I get out,

you move the car forward.

Find a private place to wait for me.

And turn off the lights.

Don't turn on your phone.

Master,

let me go with you.

Why are you talking so much nonsense?

I need to find a safe place and turn off the lights.

Wait.

Grandpa. Grandma. Come and play with me.

Wait.

Stop the operation.

Stop the operation immediately.

Attention, all teams. Stop the operation.

Stop the operation immediately.

Don't arrest him in front of the old people and children.

Attention, all teams.

Suspend the operation.

Everyone stops the operation. Stay out of sight.

Now he

is setting off firecrackers with the old people and children.

Stay hidden. Wait for my order.

Master.

Later.

When they finish setting off firecrackers,

the old people and children will have a rest in a short while.

It won't take long.

Go, go, go. Don't stay here.

Let's go.

What makes you in a daze?

I miss my parents.

Have a good Chinese New Year.

Thank you, Chief.

We're leaving.

Okay, okay, okay. Okay.

Bye.

Take care.

The Spring Festival gala is about to start.

Get back to watch the show.

They'll be back tomorrow.

They'll be with you soon enough.

Okay, okay, okay.

Thank you for your work.

Okay, okay, okay. All right, all right.

Slow down on the road.

-Don't worry. Don't worry. -I'll take them back.

Go ahead.

Bye.

Bye, Jiajia.

Bye. Bye.

Let's go. Let's go.

Auntie.

Take care. Take care.

Happy new year. Happy new year.

Happy new year. Bye. Bye.

Be careful when you drive.

Bye. Bye.

It's quite late, Instructor.

You should pack up and go back.

It's okay. I'll stay.

You have a lot of work to do at home.

Don't worry. The three of us are here.

-Yes. -Go back.

Go back. I'm serious.

Go back.

It's rare to get together with your family.

Well, thank you.

You're welcome.

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. Just pack up.

I'll go up and clean up.

Okay, okay, okay. All right, all right.

Zhi Gang, come on, let's go.

Let’s go.

Let's go.

Go. Let's go back. It's cold.

Take the kids home. It's late.

Dad. Mom. Go home and get some rest.

It's late.

Youqian, remember to lock the car.

Clean the door more carefully.

We can't sweep the floor tomorrow,

because it'll wipe out a year's wealth.

Okay, go to bed.

Come on, give it to me.

Don't move!

Let go of me!

Handcuff him. Handcuff him.

We're from Balihe Police Station.

Did you hear what I said?

Listen.

We waited outside for hours

so as not to disturb your parents and children.

If you don't behave,

they're the ones who get scared.

Do you hear me?

Did you put the cuffs on him?

Yes.

Pull him up.

Zheng Youqian, listen carefully.

You're under criminal detention

on suspicion of burglary.

Take him away.

Wait, wait.

I want to go inside and say a few words to my family.

Say a few words. Say a few words.

Zheng Youqian, you have to think about it.

We surrounded the front and back of your house.

We waited until now

for your parents and children.

Did you hear me?

Officer, I've been in jail.

I know.

If I leave like this,

I don't know when I'll be back.

They'll be worried if they can't find me.

I beg you.

Let me have a word with them.

Please.

All right.

Take the cuffs off.

Remember what I just told you.

Don't forget.

Take out the car key.

Go inside.
