Where are you hiding?

I've been a policeman all my life.

How com I can't find my grandson?

Got you. Got you.

All right, stop it.

The grandfather takes the medicine.

The grandson goes to bed.

Go to bed. Hurry.

Okay.

Go to bed.

Great.

Let's shut the door and go to bed.

Hello.

If something bad happens to Wang Eryong,

we'll be in big trouble.

If something bad happens to him,

it has nothing to do with us.

We didn't do anything to him.

He was punched.

How can you say you didn't do anything to him?

Captain Pan.

Be careful with your words.

Yes, Captain Pan.

No one hit him.

You didn't see it.

I didn't see it?

Hai.

You can say you didn't see it.

Aunt Seven.

Uncle Seven, Uncle Seven, Uncle Seven.

Aunt Seven, what happened to Uncle Seven?

The doctor said he had a cerebral infarction.

He was fine.

After he answered a call,

he went out and the fell over.

Aunt Seven, let me help you.

Slowly.

Who is the person in charge?

How is he?

We did our best.

He died of a massive brainstem hemorrhage.

He was as hard as an iron bar.

When we were trying to hold him down,

there were so many of us but we almost failed.

How come he had a massive brainstem hemorrhage?

When we were trying to catch Wang Eryong today,

he was hit a lot.

I guess he got severely injured at that time.

Yes.

The joint defense team and the people who helped us

hit him too hard.

They even broke a stick.

Those in the Inspector's Office will come tomorrow.

After all, this happened in our interrogation room.

So what?

We didn't do anything to him.

He couldn't have died just because of that punch.

Once, we were running after a robber at Shuangxiu Park

and I fell head first down the stairs.

At that time, I wasn't badly hurt.

That's because you were lucky.

If that had happened to me, I would have died.

Anyway.

No matter who comes,

we'll say we didn't hit him.

Alright.

Go back and have a sleep.

Pan Dahai has found Wang Dayong's car.

The two teams will investigate the case tomorrow.

Captain Pan.

What will the bureau do

regarding Wang Eryong's death?

The inspectors will investigate it.

If they find you used violence to make Wang Eryong confess,

you'll be punished.

If the case is really serious, the procuratorate will deal with it.

Did you hit him?

No.

Wang Eryong confessed everything.

We didn't need to use violence.

How is Uncle Seven?

He's awake.

Captain Cheng.

The doctor said he had a stroke due to his high blood pressure.

Uncle Seven.

Uncle Seven.

Uncle Seven.

I'm Bing.

I'm Bing. Uncle Seven.

Can you recognize me?

Look at you.

Don't be worried.

Have a good rest.

What?

I know. Don't worry.

We'll find Wang Dayong.

The whole city was under lockdown last night.

Wang Dayong left his car there

because he knew the village-like area in the city was a complicated place.

He could easily hide himself there.

I've told

the nearby police stations and the joint defense teams

to conduct a joint investigation.

The 2nd Squad has gone there.

Let's get ready.

We'll go in ten minutes.

- Yes, sir. - Yes.

Chief Zhou.

When Wang Eryong was being interrogated last night,

which ones of you were in the interrogation room?

Me.

Who else?

Chief Zhou.

I'll tell you everything after we finish that task.

We're going to catch Wang Dayong.

This case is not your business from now on.

So,

the suspect died in the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau

and you think it is nothing serious?

Chief Zhou.

We've sent Wang Eryong's body

to the forensic experts.

We also informed his family.

If there is anything else we need to do,

can we talk about it after we solve the case?

Wang Dayong can't go far now.

Without the 3rd Squad,

the police can still handle cases.

Hand in all your guns and bullets.

Stay here.

You,

come with me.

Chief Zhou.

Shut the door.

Chief Zhou.

About Wang Eryong's death...

Did you use violence against him?

No.

You're not telling the truth.

I am.

We just intimidated him at first.

I hope you didn't use violence.

Wang Eryong died.

He died when being interrogated by the 3rd Squad.

You know what it means.

Where is Uncle Seven? Go tell him to come here.

He can't.

What do you mean?

He had a brain hemorrhage last night

and is still in hospital.

Cheng Bing.

The 3rd Squad will be ruined by you sooner or later.

All members of the 3rd Squad will be suspended.

Hand in all your communication devices.

The Inspector's Office will investigate his death. Just wait.

Okay.

Captain Cheng.

Wang Dayong's mother is here.

Go ahead.

Chief Zhou is waiting for you.

Come with me.

Cheng.

We hope nothing bad will happen to you.

But if it happens,

no one can help you.

I know.

Let's begin.

Please be honest with us.

What happened during your interrogation of Wang Eryong

on the night of April 15?

You have a gentle voice.

But stay safe when you're alone.

I asked him how he had got his gun.

How many people were there in the interrogation room?

Four.

Captain Cheng, Lin Ying, Shitou and me.

Wang Eryong was being very disrespectful.

That girl had very beautiful legs.

So beautiful that I couldn't control myself.

When I was making love to her,

she woke up.

Then my brother came back.

She was a good girl.

But she's dead.

Do you want to die?

Captain Cheng, Captain Cheng.

You said

Cheng Bing had just kicked the chair at that time.

Are you sure his foot didn't hit Wang Eryong?

Yes, I'm sure.

Then how did he get wounded?

He must have got wounded when we were trying to catch him.

The joint defense team tried to catch him before we did.

There were many brave people trying to help us.

You have no idea

how chaotic the situation was.

They were all trying to helpful,

holding bats and batons and hoping to punch him.

When you took him back,

did you check his wounds?

No.

We took him to the interrogation room immediately.

What happened next?

Then I got Captain Cheng out.

At that time,

Cheng Bing was very angry, right?

Of course he was.

You weren't there so you don't understand.

Wang Eryong was such a bastard.

He deserved to die a thousand times.

Shi Lei.

Mind your attitude.

What attitude should I have?

Uncle Seven is still in hospital.

Wang Dayong hasn't been arrested yet.

But you're interrogating us here.

Listen.

If Wang Dayong can't be found,

you'll also be responsible for it.

Don't yell at me.

We're just following the procedures.

Be cooperative.

Sit down.

Director Wang.

I don't think Wang Eryong's death

was caused by interrogators.

Lin Ying.

Didn't you leave the interrogation room

and go buy food with Ma?

Since you were not there,

you can't be so sure about it.

Just tell us

what you saw and what you know.

I went to buy food.

But...

Did Cheng Bing ask you to buy food by design?

No.

I volunteered to go with her.

She's a girl.

She couldn't carry a lot of things.

So I went with her to help her.

We were all busy and tired that night.

No one had dinner.

So Captain Cheng asked her to buy us some snacks.

It's not an easy job to catch and interrogate criminals.

You guys who work at an office won't understand.

Did anything unusual happen to Wang Eryong

before Cheng Bing came back?

Well.

He said he had got a headache.

If so,

why did you do nothing about it?

We couldn't believe him so easily.

If a suspect says he has got a headache

and we stop interrogating him,

how can we do our work?

Don't be so emotional.

Just tell us what really happened.

Nothing happened.

After Captain Cheng came back, we continued the interrogation.

He didn't say anything.

Then Cheng Bing hit Wang Eryong, right?

I don't think so.

Well...

I was not there. I should be careful with my words.

Ask Lin Ying if you don't believe me.

When Ma and I arrived,

Wang Eryong was already in a coma.

Captain Cheng was calling an ambulance.

Cheng Bing.

You're an experienced detective.

You know

everything you did would leave a trace.

Uncle Seven, come here.

We're waiting for you.

Coming.

Uncle Seven, come here.

Come on, Uncle Seven.

Coming.

Let's get ready.

Have you turned on the camera?

Yes.

Girl, be with them.

We almost couldn't see you.

Come on, girl.

- No, it’s not appropriate. - Come on. Come on.

Be next to me.

Okay?

Okay.

Don't look too serious.

I say one, two, three.

You say cheese.

Be happy.

One, two, three.

Cheese.

Captain Cheng, eat something.

Those from the Inspector's Office

do not understand our difficulties at all.

Yes.

Wang Eryong was such a bastard.

If they had seen him, they would have also hit him.

Be quiet.

Captain Cheng.

Don't worry.

If someone must be held accountable for it,

I'll tell Director Wang that my emotion was out of control

so I punched him.

Let me be punished.

I'll take the punishment.

Nonsense.

It has nothing to do with you.

I don't think

it's something really serious.

Wang Eryong died by accident.

Yes, the forensic experts will find out the real cause of his death.

There's nothing to worry about.

I'm not that worried.

After all, Wang Eryong died in the interrogation room.

I did hit him.

I found the location of Wang Dayong's car.

So I rushed to tell Cheng Bing.

What did you see

in the interrogation room?

I saw Cheng Bing punching Wang Eryong.

Which part of Wang Eryong's body was punched?

His left cheek.

How many punches did he receive?

One.

I only saw one.

Director Wang.

I didn’t tell the truth.

I don't regret it.

That bastard deserved to be punched.

I didn't kill her.

I just raped her.

I won't be sentenced to death.

Right?

You bastard!

But I don't think

that punch caused his death.

The forensic experts

will find out the cause of his death.

You need to wait for it.

What I want to tell you

is that I can understand your anger.

But I don't think you should have done it.

We're the police.

I know.

This happened

because I was being too emotional.

It has nothing to do with the others of the 3rd Squad.

I'll take responsibility for all of it.

Cheng Bing.

I don't think

you can take all the consequences by yourself.

Madam, wait for me in the car.

I need to get out and answer a call.

I don't think the Internet is just a bubble.

I am sure that the Internet

will be accessible to everyone in ten years.

By then, our life

will be shaped by the Internet.

If we can use the Internet well, we can create a better future.

Well said.

What's your job?

I'm an English teacher.

Reporter.

I want to ask a question.

My son died in the Public Security Bureau.

Who will take care of it?

Well...

My son was arrested by the police.

They told me today

that he had died in the interrogation room.

This afternoon,

those from the Labor Union and the Labor Bureau

came and brought some gifts.

Bing.

I want to ask you a question.

Uncle Seven is seriously ill now.

Will his condition be identified as a work-related injury?

Of course.

But the guy from the Labor Bureau said

it couldn't be

identified as a work-related injury.

Why not?

They said

Uncle Seven's accident happened at home.

He didn't fall over at work.

If it can't be identified as a work-related injury,

how are we going to support ourselves?

We're so old now.

Aunt Seven, don't worry.

It must be identified as a work-related injury.

I am sure.

Peng.

I understand that the city government is financially tight

and that you have your rules.

But we can't let our police down.

Yao has been working hard as a policeman

for his whole life.

He won so many awards.

He's going to retire soon but suddenly got seriously ill.

If it isn't identified as a work-related injury,

it will be unreasonable.

Why can't Uncle Seven's condition be identified as a work-related injury?

We have our reasons.

Our colleagues from the Labor Bureau are also here.

We don't get to decide

whether it is a work-related injury.

I don't care who should decide it.

Uncle Seven's condition must be identified as a work-related injury.

Sir.

I understand how you feel.

But when Yao collapsed,

he wasn't working.

He was at home.

We have our rules.

Only when the injury

is caused at work

or on the way to work

can it...

Are you out of your mind?

For a policeman's life, there's no difference between working and not working.

Uncle Seven worked overtime for days. Do you know that?

Yes.

He ran out of medicine

so he went home to get some.

I don't understand.

Why can't it be identified as a work-related injury?

This is so unacceptable.

The Labor Union

is discussing with the Labor Bureau.

We will try our best to help Yao.

You should.

It must be identified as a work-related injury.

Sir.

You have to be reasonable.

According to the rules, Yao Qingwen's condition

cannot be identified as a work-related injury.

I asked his family member.

When he collapsed,

half of his body was inside the door.

According to the rules,

it's not a work-related injury as he was still at home.

How could you say that?

He ran out of medicine, so he went home to get some.

I don't understand.

You will see it as a work-related injury only if he collapsed at work because he got no medicine to take?

If he collapsed at work,

it is a work-related injury. No doubt.

But Yao Qingwen's case is special.

After all, he was still at home.

We have to obey the rules.

Please understand.

Nonsense.

You won't understand.

Based on what they said during the inquiries, we can know two things.

First, when Cheng Bing was interrogating Wang Eryong,

Cheng had no reason to make Wang confess by using violence.

Wang Eryong had answered all the questions

he got asked.

Second, there is no evidence showing he tortured Wang.

He didn't use those tortures

forbidden by law.

However,

when he was angered by Wang Eryong words,

Cheng Bing lost control of his emotions

and he hit Wang Eryong's face and head.

Apart from Ma Zhiguo and Lin Ying,

others in the 3rd Squad

all lied and covered

for Cheng Bing.

They didn't follow the rules

to record the interrogation.

You mean,

during the interrogation,

they didn't torture Wang to make him confess.

I think we can say that.

However,

Wang Eryong suddenly died

after he got hit by Cheng Bing.

That's undeniable.

Have the forensic experts reached a conclusion?

Yes.

The cause of his death was the brainstem hemorrhage made by external force.

Was it made

during the arrest or...

I asked the forensic experts.

They said that technically,

it was hard to confirm

when it had been caused.

Chief Zhou.

The Labor Bureau

won't identify Uncle Seven's condition as a work-related injury.

This is unacceptable.

It must be a work-related injury.

You have your own business to worry about.

Mind your own business.

How can you say that?

It's about Uncle Seven,

your master in the past.

Hello?

Director Zhao.

Why didn't you report

that serious case to me immediately?

What are you trying to hide?

We're not hiding anything.

The police involved have been suspended.

And we've asked the inspectors to deal with the case.

I planned

to report to you

after I could get all the necessary materials.

Alright.

This incident has caused a very bad influence.

We can't let our people

be disappointed at the police.

You should actively cooperate with the procuratorate.

Listen, Zhou Ming.

Prepare the materials right now.

Go to the department-level office tomorrow morning

and report the case to the department-level Party committee.

Cheng Bing.

You've really ruined the 3rd Squad.

You haven't got a good sleep for a month.

Go home and have a good rest.

Shitou.

Tell my wife

that I'm on a business trip.

It'll take about half a month.

And the thing about Uncle Seven.

If the Labor Union can't solve it, go to officials in the city.

If they can't solve it either, go to the provincial office.

It must be identified as a work-related injury.

What are you doing?

Respond to me.

Why are you so down?

The whole thing has nothing to do with you.

I'm sorry I got you involved.

After the investigation is done,

get to work.

Wang Dayong can't go far.

Catch him.

Cheng Bing.

Wei.

You don't have to do it yourself.

This is a big thing.

Save your pleasantries.

I don't trust others.

What are you worried about?

Are you worried I'll pick on you?

You did it a lot before, right?

According to Article 79

of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China,

Cheng Bing

is suspected of intentional injury.

Now I'll arrest you according to the law.

No need to use it.

He won't run.

Follow the rules.

Don't make me pick on you.

Come on.

Pan Dahai, you suck!

Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down

I think he's a cop.

Isn't he Cheng Bing?

Be quiet.

He's new here.

No matter you know him or not,

behave yourself in front of him.

Yes.

Mr. Li.

Don't worry, we're polite people.

What happened to your face?

I went to the toilet in the middle of the night

and got cut by accident.

I hope so.

My guardhouse is available.

Behave.

Lower.

Higher.

Lower.

Why are you here?

I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?

Why should I tell you?

How dare you!

Go.

What are you doing?

Mr. Li, he hit me.

Mr. Li, he hit me. Send him to the guardhouse.

Zhao Dashun.

Yes.

If you cause trouble again, I'll send you to the guardhouse.

Captain Cheng.

Call me if anything happens.

Nothing happened.

Squat here.

Don't make it fall.

Why didn't you help me just now?

Why didn't you help me?

Dude.

Who are you?

He's a cop.

Cop?

Really?

Why is a cop here?

Cheng Bing.

You've really ruined the 3rd Squad.

Anything to add?

What's the conclusion

that the forensic experts reached?

Their conclusion

is that Wang Eryong's death

might have something to do with my punch.

You must be upset.

Not really.

After all, he died in the interrogation room.

I did hit him.

Someone has to take the consequences.

The provincial government is very concerned with this case.

Find a lawyer.

With one, you may get a better result.

I'm a policeman.

I know what will happen to me.

Wei.

I just hope my case won't implicate my colleagues.

They are all good police.

They shouldn't lose their job because of me.

The prosecution thinks

that the defendant Cheng Bing

intentionally injured the victim Wang Eryong

during the interrogation.

When the victim

said he was unwell and injured,

the defendant didn't get the victim treated, which was against the law.

What the defendant did

caused the victim's death.

The defendant violated Article 234

of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China.

The facts of the defendant's crime are clear.

The evidence is sufficient.

The defendant should be held criminally responsible

for intentional injury.

All rise.

The defendant Cheng Bing

is the former captain of the 3rd Criminal Investigation Squad

of Ningzhou Public Security Bureau.

During an interrogation of a criminal suspect,

the defendant intentionally used violence against the suspect

and caused the victim's death.

His behavior has constituted intentional injury.

The court rules the defendant guilty.

According to Article 234

of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China,

the verdict is as follows.

Defendant Cheng Bing

is guilty of intentional injury

and sentenced to 11 years of imprisonment.
