Original subtitles

Last week, I picked up a passenger

who was a girl in the Fen Alley.

As soon as I saw her,

I knew that she was not a decent woman.

She was so drunk that she couldn't even stand steadily.

After she got into the car, I asked her,

"Where are you going?"

She said, "Anywhere is fine."

Okay then.

I just kept driving.

I had no choice.

Then I drove to the Second Ring Road and kept driving.

Just guess how many laps I drove in the end.

Three and a half laps.

Over 100 kilometers.

The taximeter showed that the price was over 400 yuan.

She paid me 1,000 yuan.

My God. That was really...

Pan.

Our place is much colder than Ningzhou, isn't it?

Later, I'll take you to have a bowl of Pita Bread Soaked in Lamb Soup.

You'll feel warm after eating it.

Why do we have to rush to have a meal?

Let's talk about the case first.

His impatient temper

hasn't changed at all.

He was already like this when we studied

at the Police Training School.

Cut the crap. Hurry up.

The night before yesterday,

there was a taxi driver

who got a job to drive a passenger from Sanqiao to Tongchuan.

Soon after he left the city,

this passenger

took out a gun

and wanted to rob him of the car.

This driver had a hot temper as well.

He resisted directly

and took the gun away.

Then the robber ran away.

The driver used to be a soldier.

As soon as he found that it was a real gun,

he called the police immediately.

After the technology department

compared the test data and uploaded it,

they found that this gun

was the same gun used in

your case back then.

Were there any fingerprints on this gun?

Yes.

The driver's fingerprints.

He said that the robber

was wearing a pair of leather gloves.

What about the characteristics of the robber's look?

I asked the driver to identify Wang Dayong's photo.

He wasn't sure.

He was wearing so many clothes in such cold weather.

The driver couldn't see his face clearly.

However, when they were fighting with each other,

the driver hit his face

with a spanner.

There must be wounds on his face.

Which side of his face did the driver hit?

The left side.

Where is the driver?

I'd like to see him.

I'll arrange it later.

Let's go eat Pita Bread Soaked in Lamb Soup now.

Mine is ready, too.

We can't drink wine while working.

Let's just drink some soft drinks.

Waitress.

Give us five bottles of Ice Peak.

Okay.

When you eat Pita Bread Soaked in Lamb Soup,

you should eat it with sweetened garlic.

This is a perfect match.

Pan.

When we talked on the phone, you said that

this gun was once used to commit a crime in Jiecheng, too?

A few months ago in Jiecheng,

a corpse was found.

According to the ballistic test for the bullet

extracted on the scene, the bullet was also from that gun.

The time of the crime was probably April 2008.

Wang Dayong was too unscrupulous.

Pan, don't worry.

As long as he dares to show up in Xi'an,

I'll definitely catch him.

By the way,

I've heard that

a policeman in your bureau beat a suspect to death

in the interrogation room back then,

and this case was related to Wang Dayong.

What do you mean by beating him to death in the interrogation room?

His head was injured before they interrogated him.

What a ridiculous rumor it is!

Lin Ying.

Just eat.

We merely heard that from others.

This rumor must have been altered a lot after it was spread among different people.

Last month, the Provincial Department

organized a training class for standardized law enforcement,

and they specifically talked about this case.

They said that he just gave that suspect one punch.

But the suspect died in the end.

All the policemen in charge of this case were dismissed.

And that captain

was sentenced to ten years in prison.

How unlucky he was.

Zhao,

you're trying to make me feel bad.

This is not something we can feel proud of.

I'm not trying to make you feel bad.

I'm just chatting to you casually.

To be honest,

I feel very sorry for that captain.

He just wanted to solve the case.

But he ended up being a murderer himself.

Just eat.

I'm full.

Hello.

Where is he now?

Okay. Got it.

We'll go back to the bureau at once.

Pan,

you are such a lucky star.

We caught him soon after you came.

I'm asking you a question. What's your name?

He was caught in the brook.

I guess it was because we had been looking for the suspect so carefully these days,

and he had nowhere to hide.

Captain Zhao.

What's going on?

He didn't answer our questions at all.

He said nothing.

Come on, Pan. Sit down.

Raise your head.

Raise your head!

What's your name?

Come in.

Yang Hong'an.

You still know your own name?

Tell me.

How did you get the gun?

I took the gun from...

I stole it.

You stole it?

When? Where did you steal it?

In 2008, before the Spring Festival,

I stole it in a common bathing pool in the Northeast.

Go on.

I used to work there.

I knew that it was easy to pick the locks there.

I was short of money in that period,

so I thought I could go back there to steal some money.

I thought I could steal a lot of money.

But in the end, the total amount

was less than 1,000 yuan.

I also felt surprised at that time.

But then I thought since I had stolen it,

I couldn't throw it away so easily.

What did you do with this gun?

I didn't do anything with it.

I merely took it out to scare the driver a few days ago.

Yang Hong'an.

Do you know why I'm here?

Let me give you a hint.

Guangdong.

Jiecheng.

You must know

why I came all the way here.

Right?

I didn't want to kill him.

I just wanted to exchange this stone

for some money.

At first,

I didn't expect that this stone would be so valuable.

Until one day,

I was bored.

Then I thought I could take a look at his mobile phone.

Although that message

was sent two years ago,

I still wanted to give it a try.

What if I could really get the money?

Soon,

that person called me back.

He asked me to see him in Jiecheng.

He said he would pay the money

and I should give the stone to him at the same time.

Hello.

Go on.

I was afraid that he would fool me,

so I took precautions.

I went to Jiecheng a month earlier.

I took that stone

to ask someone about its market price.

Eight million yuan.

I'll buy it.

It was worth eight million yuan.

Maybe this circle was not very big.

That person found me soon.

How about this?

I'll give you another two million yuan. Give it to me.

I said I wanted all the money to be cash.

Then he asked me to go with him to get the cash.

When we went halfway there by car,

he said he had to pee,

so he went out of the car to pee.

I remember that there is a lighter in the car.

How far is it from here?

We'll go at once.

We'll go at once. Let me find the lighter.

I didn't mean to kill him.

I couldn't think rationally as he tried to suffocate me.

I didn't know how I ended up taking out the gun and shooting him to death.

What happened next?

After that, I wanted to take his corpse away from there

and buried him in a place where there was nobody else.

However,

there was a flat tire on the way.

Both we and the car

fell into the river.

The river was very deep.

I hardly knew how to swim.

It took me a lot of effort

to escape from that car.

I almost died.

I thought

it was only related to your case.

I didn't expect that

we would solve the case of Jiecheng, too.

Pan, you are such a lucky star.

Yang Hong'an said that the raw gemstone was in the car.

But after the car was salvaged from the river, the raw gemstone wasn't there.

Sr. Captain Pan.

Maybe he didn't tell the truth.

How about this, Wang Peng?

You should go to Jiecheng

and tell Captain Qi about the situation here.

Then conduct the salvage again carefully.

Okay.

I have to go to the Northeast.

Liu, what's wrong?

If you want to tell me something, just say it directly.

Cui,

you've offended your great-grandfather.

My great-grandfather died many years ago.

That's right. If he had not died, would you have offended him?

Let me tell you. Your great-grandfather is not an ordinary man now.

That old man has a high status in the netherworld.

Got it?

What should I do?

I can help you with it.

Right?

You're back.

Tonight,

I'll go to your house and use my power for you

so that I can help you solve this problem.

If you can solve the problem now, just do it at once.

Not now.

The time is not right.

What time do you think we should do it?

The Gate of Hell will be opened at 12 o'clock tonight.

- By that time... - You're quite bold.

You even dare to wander around the Gate of Hell arbitrarily?

Miss, don't listen to him talking nonsense.

Be careful not to be fooled by him.

Don't talk nonsense. I'm talking about something serious.

How are you, Bro?

Have you found him?

I'll quit looking for him.

Maybe this person doesn't exist at all.

I'll go back tomorrow.

No.

Just go on looking for him for a few more days.

I can give you a discount on the rent.

Liu.

Who is he looking for?

He came to our town to look for Dummy at first.

He said Dummy found an ID card,

and the owner of that ID card owed him money.

He has been handling this thing here for nearly a month.

Stop talking about him.

Let's continue to talk about your great-grandfather.

I just feel that your great-grandfather...

Come on. Be careful, Bro.

Come on.

Come on. Hurry up, Sr. Captain Pan.

Come on.

Please come in.

I just need to grab a bite.

Hurry up. I've booked a table.

Take off your shoes and sit on the heatable floor.

Sitting on the heatable floor?

Just come up.

Take off your coats.

Coming.

Madam.

I think

Chief Inspector Wei came just in time.

You guys came right after all the dishes were served.

Eat them while they're still hot.

Just eat.

Thank you.

What is this?

Blood sausage.

Let me tell you.

In a place like this, there's nothing special I can use to entertain you.

I can only offer you some hot dishes.

This blood sausage was freshly made by the restaurant owner's wife.

Come on. Taste it.

Come on. Give me the chopsticks.

Here you are.

- Thank you. - Let me get it for you.

Thank you.

For the theft case you mentioned on the phone,

I've learnt about it.

There wasn't much money involved in this case.

The total amount was only 800 or 1,000 yuan.

Later,

there were hardly any clues,

so this case has remained unsolved since then.

Does this common bathing pool still exist now?

Yes, it does.

That's the only public bathhouse in our town.

Is it far?

No.

There are only two blocks away from here.

We just need to walk for a while to get there.

Let's eat at once.

Let's go there to take a look after we finish eating.

Okay, I can also take this chance to let you feel

the culture of bathing in the Northeast.

People in your place prefer showering, right?

In our place,

we tend to shower first,

and then bathe inside the pool.

After bathing inside the pool, we'll get up and have a rubdown.

After the rubdown, we'll have a sauna.

After having a sauna, we'll shower again.

After this whole process,

let me tell you, you'll feel very cozy.

Hello.

Why do you have the mood to

take a bath here so late at night?

I'm not here to take a bath.

I have two colleagues who came from another city.

They want to ask you something.

Hello.

Hello, officer.

We've been abiding by the law

and forbidding pornographic activities, gambling and drug abuse.

No.

Chief Inspector Wei is in charge of these things you talked about.

We came to see you

because we want to learn about a case

which happened in your bathhouse

before the Spring Festival in 2008.

Before the Spring Festival in 2008?

Yes.

Let me tell you.

All those who live here

must register their ID cards. Got it?

Don't get yourself into trouble.

The inspection has been strict recently.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Come on.

I saw that there was a police car in front of your door.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

Really?

If there's something wrong here, I'll go to another bathhouse.

It's really fine here.

They just mentioned that before the Spring Festival in 2008,

someone took a bath here and lost something.

How would I know what happened in 2008?

I hadn't bought this bathhouse back then.

Hurry up. Give him the badage.

Come on, sir.

It's this room.

Take a look to see if you like it.

Come on.

This is the only hotel

in our town.

The conditions are simple.

How about I take you to live in the downtown area?

No need.

As long as we can sleep, it'll be fine. Don't bother.

I'm sorry that you two have to endure the bad conditions here.

Liu.

Open the door of the opposite room.

This lady will live in the opposite room.

Okay.

Come on. This way.

Chief Inspector Wei,

we still need to think of a way

to find the former owner of the public bathhouse.

I was

just transferred here last year.

There are still many situations which I'm not familiar with.

But don't worry.

I just need to make a call tomorrow,

and basically, I'll know where he lives.

It's not hard to find someone in this place.

Sometimes, it's hard to find someone.

Do you want a rubdown?

I'll get off work if you don't want it.

Yes, I do.

This is your first time coming here, right?

I haven't seen you before.

It's my first time coming here.

You have sharp eyes.

You can remember all the guests who came here.

All our guests are from this town.

I know most of them.

How long have you worked here?

I've worked here for seven or eight years since the opening of this bathhouse.

The owner has been changed twice.

I'd like to ask you something.

What is it?

Before the Spring Festival in 2008...

Did you work here in 2008?

Yes.

Did a guest lose something here?

In 2008?

If it happened in 2008, it was such a long time ago.

Our guests always lost things in those two years.

I can't remember clearly.

Do you know who was the owner

at that time?

The owner was

Liu Danan.

He lost money in illegal gambling

and owed a lot of debts.

In the end, he had no choice

but to mortgage this bathhouse.

Where is Liu Danan now?

I don't know.

Alright. Bro, it's done.

The subscriber you dialed is powered off.

It's almost 12 o'clock.

Why did she turn off her mobile phone?

Why are you back so late?

I took a bath in the public bathhouse.

Liu.

The former owner of the Jindalai Bath Center

is called Liu Danan.

Do you know him?

I know him so well.

We used to go to the same school.

The grade I studied in was two levels higher than his.

But in terms of seniority,

he has to call me uncle.

He's a nice guy,

but he's addicted to gambling.

He became a loser because of this bad hobby.

He even lost the public bathhouse.

His wife took the child and ran away with someone else.

Chief Inspector Wei.

Is their home far from here?

No. It's five or six kilometers away

in a village around the downstream of the brook.

Well, let's eat first.

Let's go there directly.

Is anyone there?

Coming.

Who are you looking for?

Who are you looking for?

Before the Spring Festival in 2008?

Come on. Just smoke.

During the Spring Festival.

There was such an incident.

At that time,

several guests' lockers were opened.

We even lost many things.

Later, I had no choice but to call the police.

Help me take a look.

Do you know this person?

Who is this?

Just take a look.

Recall the past carefully.

He's that missing man, isn't he?

What missing man?

Those several people who lost things

went to see me every day

and asked me to compensate them.

But among them, only a woman

took a photo

and said that her husband was missing.

She said that

he didn't go home after taking a bath in my bathhouse.

Then I thought about it.

I said, "You can come to see me if you lost your belongings."

"But you also came to see me because your husband is missing?"

Do you know that woman?

No.

I guess she came from a certain village in the suburbs.

I had never seen her in our town.

What did she look like?

I can't remember her look.

It's been two years.

If this incident had not happened,

I would have forgotten about this accident.

Dude.

What's your job?

My job is to collect debts.

Liu Danan!

Liu Danan!

We're from the police station in town.

We want to ask you something.

Take a look.

Do you know this person?

Someone asked me about him just now.

He also showed this photo to me.

Who was he?

I don't know him.

He said he knew my uncle.

He said he wanted to find someone and ask him to pay the debts.

Your uncle?

My uncle is Liu Shun, who runs a hotel in town.

For the man who talked to you, what did he look like?

Why did you turn off your mobile phone last night?

I couldn't get in touch with you through the phone at 12 o'clock last night.

I waited for you till my mobile phone ran out of battery.

Couldn't you contact me earlier?

No, I couldn't.

Chief Inspector Wei from the police station came here last night.

He brought two people.

I had to arrange good rooms for them, didn't I?

Otherwise, when you come here...

You're back.

I won't check out. I'll go on living here.

Yesterday, didn't he say that he would check out?

Who knows? He's such a fickle man.

Forget about him.

Well,

is your mobile phone fully charged today?

Yes.

Okay. Let's do it tonight.

We'll still do it at 12 o'clock tonight.

By that time, you should stay at home

and prepare some grains.

Then I'll go to your home to take a look.

I'll solve the problem for you carefully.

The problem with your great-grandfather isn't serious.

Give your mobile phone...

Let me ask you.

Is there a guest in your hotel

whose name is Cheng Bing?

Which room does he live in?

Who is it?

What a coincidence.

It's such a big country.

It's surprising that we came across each other here.

Don't you think this is fate?

Is it fate?

If it's not fate,

it means that

we're all here to look for Wang Dayong.

It looks like I got the right direction.

Right?

Alright. I won't ask you further questions.

When did you arrive?

Last night.

Why didn't you tell me before you came?

Right.

You didn't know I was here.

Let alone us,

is there anyone else who knows where you are now?

Well,

the conditions in my room are kind of bad.

You haven't eaten yet, have you?

I'll treat you to lunch.

In order to welcome you, let's have lunch together.

What do you think?

The dishes are all here.

Here.

There's no need to bring such extravagant wine.

There's wine in this restaurant.

Just drink it.

Cut the crap.

Fine.

I can make you go bankrupt by drinking as much wine as you can bring.

Then just drink as much wine as you can.

Where's Lin Ying?

There is a new case.

I asked her to go back first.

There was no need for her to go back in such a hurry, huh?

She should have finished this lunch before she left.

Pan, I'm not trying to blame you,

but you are a bad leader.

You're not quite considerate towards your subordinates.

You only care about having a feast yourself.

Come on. Give it to me.

You can't even open the wine bottle.

You really can't drink wine.

Why?

There are five bans for you guys, right?

You can't drink wine during worktime.

Just pour the wine.

That's not okay. If you break the rule because of me,

it'll be my fault.

I'm on leave.

Well, Pan,

you're so cunning.

You asked Lin Ying to go back to work,

but you started to have a vacation?

I haven't rested for two years.

Can't I reward myself?

Cut the crap.

Hurry up. Fill my glass with some wine.

This vacation resort you've selected isn't very good.

Alright. Come on.

I'll drink with you today.

Come on.

What?

Cheers.

Drink slowly. It's quite expensive.

Good wine.

It's really nice.

Pan,

I thought about the past just now.

This is the first time we've had a drink together since 12 years ago.

It's been 15 years.

When we had a drink together last time,

it was the party for celebrating the first month

of Uncle Seven's newborn grandson.

We had a drink together at the party for celebrating Chen's first month after he was born.

At that time, you had just come back after finishing your studies at the Party school.

What was I doing at that time?

What case was I handling?

Tiexi's murder case.

You have a good memory.

Come on. A toast to you.

Pan,

do you remember

when we first met?

The dismemberment case.

You had just joined the police force.

Uncle Seven took you to the scene.

At that time,

I just wanted to go inside the house and have a look,

but you refused.

Did I?

Yes.

You were so arrogant at that time.

You pulled a long face.

Come on.

Come on. I'll apologize to you.

No need.

I don't need you to apologize.

I'm not as petty-minded as you.

Besides, in terms of seniority,

you should call me uncle.

Understand?

I should call you unc-...

Cheng Bing, don't be insatiable.

Why should I call you uncle?

Who is your master?

Chief Zhou.

Who is my master?

Uncle Seven.

What does Chief Zhou call Uncle Seven?

Your master and I are fellow apprentices.

Alright.

Come on. Have a sip.

Cheers.

Call me uncle.

Alright. Stop it.

Hurry up.

Dahai.

Thank you.

For all these years,

you've taken care of Uncle Seven for me frequently.

Uncle Seven

has always treated you as his own son.

I quite envy you.

Look. Every time I went to

visit him at his home,

he only kept muttering about you, and didn't mention anybody else.

I'm sorry, Uncle Seven.

I should be the one saying sorry to you guys.

If Wang Dayong and his brother

had not run away from me,

there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

Besides, when you were in trouble,

you said,

"The Supervision Department asked me..."

Let's not mention these things.

Pan,

I never blamed you for this matter.

I did hit him.

I didn't admit it at first,

because I hoped I would be lucky enough to escape punishment.

You told the truth, and you did nothing wrong.

Really. Cheers.

Go back to Ningzhou with me.

Okay?

Stop interfering in this case.

Just find a stable job

and live a peaceful life. Isn't that good?

Pan.

Let's go on drinking wine.

I know that

you didn't want to implicate your buddies,

so you left Jiecheng secretly.

Right?

Can we talk about something else?

I just want to talk with you about this thing,

so I'm having a drink with you.

Then let's stop drinking.

You must go back with me this time.

What right do you have to ask me to do that?

I suspect that you are related to Wang Dayong's case.

I have the right to ask you to cooperate with my investigation.

Pan Dahai.

I've told you about

all the clues I know.

Why do you want me to cooperate with your investigation again?

I doubt the authenticity of the clues provided by you.

I need to investigate these clues and you have to be cooperative.

Okay?

You're crazy.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Cheng Bing!

Cheng Bing!

Don't stop me.

Pan Dahai!

If you really treat me as a friend, don't stop me anymore!

Unlock it!

Go back with me.

Where are you going?

Listen, Cheng Bing.

I know that

you're doing this for the honor of the 3rd Squad

and for the sake of your buddies.

Stop talking nonsense!

I'm doing this for myself!

I'm not as noble as you think.

Unlock it!

Unlock it!

Give the key to me!

Give me the key!

Cheng Bing!

Can't you do something else?

Have you ever thought about your daughter?

Have you ever thought about Uncle Seven?

I can't do anything else if this case isn't solved.

Do you understand?

You don't understand!

No one can understand!

Go away.

Go away! I need to answer the phone.

Help me take it out.

Help me take my mobile phone out.

My hand!

Hello?

I'm fine.

I'm running.

You lead the team to go to the scene first. I'm in another city now.

Okay.

Okay.

Pan.

I've lost myself.

I have to find myself back.
