[To Love]

[Episode 18]

Auntie. Uncle.

The food is getting cold.

Uncle, why don't I get you a cup of alcohol?

You can leave for now.

I called the bureau chief this afternoon.

He said that the police have conclusive evidence.

The evidence has been sent to the prosecutor's office.

Did you ask for sure?

Of course, I did.

Why wouldn't I ask for sure on such a big event?

If the police didn't have conclusive evidence,

how could they...

How could they send them to the prosecutor's office?

The case being spurred up like this adds a lot of stress to the police. (T/N: "spirred up" - to cause (something) to happen or to happen more quickly.)

They will be presenting it to the prosecutor's office soon—

The problem is, he didn't do anything wrong.

But...

if it was him that killed that university student...

Mom. Mom. Mom!

Dad, it's the New Year! What are you doing?

Are you happy to make mom so worried? Are you getting senile?

You actually think my brother killed someone, right?

What do you plan to do from now on?

What do you mean?

Yan Jin's murder case is now known by the whole nation.

You and Flowing Thoughts Cafe are famous now.

Do you still plan to stay in Liyuan?

Mom, Yan Jin isn't a murderer.

Yan Jin has already been arrested by the police.

- So what you are saying is Zhao Tinghui caught the wrong person? - He got the wrong person.

Then, why didn't he catch you or us?

Mom, Yan Jin is just a suspect.

He didn't kill anyone.

The court will acquit him in the end.

You have to believe me.

That Yan guy,

what poison did he give you?

Let alone when you were obsessed with him before.

Now that he's gotten into such a big mess,

even our family has been disturbed by him.

Are you still lying to yourself?

Are you still thinking that once he comes out,

you will be with him? I'll tell you this!

Yan Jin is never coming out! Wake up!

It's the New Year. Let's talk nicely. Stop yelling!

All you know how to say is good things. She's like this because of you.

- Look at her. - Zhao Yamin!

Why don't you just stop talking?

Xiao'ou has been wronged out there.

Why can't you let her have a comfortable New Year's at home?

Do you have to push her away?

Uncle. Auntie. We heard Xiao'ou's voice.

Sorry to disturb you on New Year Day.

We want to give her an interview.

Just a few questions. Five minutes is enough.

It's the New Year. Why are you pounding on the door?

You think we can easily be bullied?

You want gossip?

Come!

Hello. I am your defense lawyer, Yan Shen.

This is the letter of authorization from your family.

Is Mom okay?

She's fine.

What about Dad?

You know his personality. No need to ask me. You know it.

How are you doing in there?

I'm pretty good.

Look, I got fatter.

Is the investigation stage already over?

It's considered done for now.

After I submit the pleas, the prosecution stage will begin.

So what you are saying...

The police have enough evidence to point me as the murderer?

Yes.

They're moving pretty fast this time.

This case is the fastest police investigation

that I've accepted.

There seems to be a lot of pressure on closing the case.

I don't know much from the law standpoint,

but the prosecutor's office approving the arrest warrant

means that what the police provided as evidence is justified.

I just don't understand.

Besides the victim showing up at my house,

it's true that both of us did have physical conflict,

but what other evidence do they have to prove that I killed him?

Is it only that janitorial staff that walked like me?

This is obvious that someone is trying to frame me.

Yan Jin, I am your lawyer right now.

Our interests are tied together. No matter what I ask,

you have to be honest with me.

Of course.

Do you accept the crime that you are involved in?

No. I did not kill anyone.

Okay.

Tell me what happened that night. In detail.

Please do not leave out any details.

Why don't we wait for a while before reopening?

We should at least wait until Yan Jin's case has an answer first.

I didn't do anything wrong.

If I'm sneaking around, it will lead people to think that I'm hiding something.

What are you going to do if those people come again?

I'm going to call the cops.

That's all that I can think of.

I saw on the investigation record you mentioned someone called Liu Wei. Who is he?

Second-in-command in Xiao Meiren's drug operation. He's a badass.

I'm suspecting it's him that killed Zhan Yu.

So I told Zhao Tinghui the situation.

I don't know if he has found him.

Without your confession, all the evidence is missing an important link.

I think the investigation team surely knows that even if they submit the case to the prosecutor's office,

the office will object and return the case for retrial.

This is why the police

haven't completely closed the chain of evidence and are rushing to end the investigation of the case.

If their case is returned from the prosecutor's office,

during the back and forth time, they can continue to add evidence.

I'm guessing the police had no choice.

So you have to be ready to be interrogated again.

You have to carefully cross-check the investigation records from the office and prosecutor

before you sign them. Remember...

You have the right to correct the investigation records.

I understand.

The hardest thing about your case is that

there's no way to prove that the victim left your premises alive.

This is the one thing I can't properly explain.

Your time is up 0382. Go back to your cell.

I understand the general situation.

We'll end it here today, Brother.

You need to watch out for your health.

Please honestly say what you are supposed to say. For what you aren't supposed to say,

don't say anything regardless of how much pressure you have.

I understand.

When you're home, tell Mom and Dad,

I'm fine here.

And that girl probably has been suffering a lot lately.

Can you check up on her? Tell her I will come back to her.

[Meeting Room 1]

Lawyer Yan, Miss Ji is here.

Miss Ji, please.

We meet again.

You're braver than I thought. I didn't think you'd come.

You must've asked me to come because you want to know what happened.

I, too, want to know more about Yan Jin, so I had to come.

Please have a seat and try our coffee.

I finally understand why my brother fell in love with you.

You're really different from those other women that he's met.

Those other women...

What I meant is, you're brave and candid.

It's hard to survive in this world like that.

I'm sure you didn't call me here to talk about me.

I want to know how Yan Jin is doing right now. Will you be his defense lawyer?

Yan Jin, has already been officially arrested as a suspect.

As his sister, of course I must defend him.

I just got back from the detention center.

Is he okay?

I think you're aware that my brother was once a member of the SWAT team.

For people who have been through life and death like him,

once he knows he has to sit still and accept whatever happens,

the optimism in him will start to take over.

So, don't worry, he's eating and sleeping well. He just misses you.

My heart and instincts tell me

Yan Jin couldn't possibly have been the one to kill Zhan Yu.

But I don't understand. Why did Zhao Tinghui arrest him?

What's the truth behind all this?

The truth is the most luxurious thing in the world.

Thank you for having faith in him. However, only having our faith is not nearly enough.

Do you think the police and the judge will believe him? What about other people? Rumors spread like wildfire. You know that, right?

This case is currently being used by many unscrupulous media and press.

In order to catch attention, they are standing on top of the moral ladder to exaggerate the case.

There are even people saying that my father tried to meddle with the official protocol because of my brother's case.

The Commission for Discipline Inspection has already started investigating.

I'm sorry that you and your family have gotten caught up in this mess.

Will media pressure have an effect on the case?

Of course. This will severely affect Yan Jin's public image.

Everyone may think that people like us are granted certain benefits the moment we're born.

But they don't understand.

In any system, the power of an individual will always be weak.

No matter what tier you are born into,

once the storm comes, no one is safe.

Based on your experience, will it be possible to win this case?

I'll just have to do my best.

Is there anything I can help with, then?

I actually invited you today to make a presumptuous request.

Can you go to Zhan Yu's house

and urge Zhan Hailong to stop sitting in front of 1/3 Seafood Restaurant?

And stop foolishly being a gun for those heartless media sources?

Doing that isn't benefitting the three families of yours, mine, and Zhan Yu's, or this case.

I understand.

I'll give it a try.

Thank you, Xiao'ou.

Auntie Meiqin?

Auntie, why didn't you lock the door? That's very dangerous.

Look... This was at the Qianling Mausoleum.

Xiao Yu was only 10 years old back then.

Auntie, you need to be strong. Xiao Yu wouldn't want to see you like this, either.

Why are you here?

You getting Xiao Yu killed was not enough?

I don't want to see you ever again.

Leave.

Auntie, all those things written on the internet are just rumors.

Yan Jin didn't kill Xiao Yu.

That human scum has already been arrested, yet you're still trying to defend him?

When Xiao Yu was still alive,

he treated you like an older sister.

What did you treat him as?

Auntie, have you forgotten that Yan Jin helped you guys before?

He treated Xiao Yu like a little brother, just like me.

You've mistaken him.

Leave. Leave. Leave!

You troublesome woman, what are you doing in my house?

A court session hasn't yet been called for Zhan Yu's case, and we haven't figured out what really happened.

Can you please stop going to 1/3 Seafood Restaurant?

Just because you tell me not to?

Did someone from Old Yan's family send you here?

You want me to stop? Sure.

Get Old Yan's family to give me ¥200,000, and I'll stop immediately!

- You... - I what?

What did you say?!

How could you take our son's death for money?

- You! - Shut up! He's already dead!

Yan Jin ought to pay with his life! What's wrong with asking for money?

- You're shameless! - No, you are!

You don't deserve to be a father!

Oh, so you do? You deserve to? Are you happy now?

You don't do anything but sit in a wheelchair every day!

You only know how to spend money. What's wrong with asking for money from the criminal's family?

What's wrong with asking for money from them? It's only fair!

I will fight you.

Hit me! Hit me!

Fight!

What are you looking at?

Shameless...

[2018/12/31 Monday 22:40:19]

Sister, you haven't rested for hours now.

Your body won't be able to take it if you keep doing this.

Have we checked all the security footage in the neighborhood?

We've checked them three times, yet there's no footage of Zhan Yu leaving the neighborhood.

Lawyer Yan, we've already checked all the evidence that the police have.

Although it's not perfect, they have the motive, witness, and evidence.

It's enough for the court to convict him as guilty.

There must be an issue in all of this. There must be some detail that we've missed.

Keep looking.

But we've already looked into everything we can.

We've looked into every single detail that came up in the case.

We haven't missed anything.

Is there any news about Liu Wei?

Two hours ago, I just contacted the drug enforcement team and criminal investigation unit.

Nothing yet.

Lawyer Yan, I'm going to say something you won't like.

With the way things are looking right now, it's practically impossible

to defend him as entirely not guilty.

Every one of you is so despondent,

it'd be a miracle for us to win this case. I told you the day you entered the field,

every single case is a maze.

As long as you don't give up, you will be able to find your way out.

We absolutely cannot give him the money.

If we give it to him, that's no different than admitting that Yan Jin did kill.

If Zhan Hailong goes and tells the press, we won't be able to explain ourselves.

We have to hurry and come up with a different plan.

Looks like I have no choice but to reveal to the press

that Zhan Hailong is a drug addict and Zhan Yu was a drug trafficker.

That is the only way to quell the public's anger

and change their impression of Yan Jin.

Zhan Hailong is a drug addict?

You didn't know?

I also heard it from Cheng Ruimin.

He said Zhan Hailong was arrested a few times for taking drugs.

How could there be a father like that?

If Zhan Hailong continues to cause problems,

I have no choice but to reveal the truth to the press.

No.

If we tell them the truth, then Auntie Meixin will know that Zhan Yu trafficked drugs. She won't be able to take it.

Besides, he's already dead. I'd like to leave him some pride.

I don't want people to talk about him like that even after he's already dead.

Ji Xiao'ou, whose side are you on?

Who did my brother offend that he's suddenly become a murderer?

My father has been cautious his whole life, only hoping to come out unscathed.

Now? He lost his reputation now that he's old.

My mom has been naive and innocent since she was young,

but she has to taste the fickleness of the world when she's old.

These days, her blood pressure has been so high it's frightening.

I ask that you please show some consideration for our family, too. Okay?

I'm sorry. I understand.

However, Xiao Yu died so brutally. I can't bear it.

Why don't I try again? If it still doesn't work, then we can do as you say.

[1/3 Seafood Restaurant]

- It's closed. Leave. - I want to eat.

The owner of the restaurant is a murderer.

You want to eat his food?

You're not scared that he'll kill you both?

- Drink some water. - Do you have beer? I don't like water.

Zhan Hailong, that's about enough. Is it not?

You've already reached your goal. Why won't you just call it?

You want me to leave?

Ask the Yan family for me.

Whether Manager Yan committed the crime or not, it hasn't been set yet. Why are you asking for his family?

Why am I doing this? You're asking me why?

It's because Yan Jin killed my son.

- I want an eye for an eye! - You are still not done?!

- I'm going to call the police. - Call them!

Even when they come, I'm not scared. Hurry and call them!

- Wait. - You wait and see!

Xiao'ou?

- Why are you here? - The money goddess is here.

Brother Feng, can you help me find a place for me to talk to him privately?

This VIP room is a lot fancier than the lower level.

How much money does the Yan family have?

Did you get the money?

- What are you planning to do with the money? - What do you mean?

It's to shut my mouth. Isn't that what the Yan family wants?

I'll shut up once I get the money.

I'm guessing you are trying to scam some money while you still have a chance.

You are planning to use the money to buy drugs, right?

Drugs? What drugs?

What are you talking about? What drugs?

What is this?

What does this have to do with you?

What is this? It's none of your business.

Doing drugs is your personal problem. I can't control that.

But I can still call the cops on you.

Are you trying to scare me?

What evidence do you have?

I followed you last night.

I saw you making an exchange with a drug dealer at a bar.

I've already reported it to the drug enforcement officer.

I don't think your dealer will be loyal enough

to lie about your crime for you.

No wonder my son died because of you.

You really are a cruel woman.

Ji Xiao'ou, I'm not scared of your trick.

So what if I do drugs?

I've been to jail multiple times. I'm not afraid of going once more.

Then, did you know when Zhan Yu was alive, he was a drug dealer?

Zhan Yu? Drug dealing?

What kind of joke is that?

The famous drug dealer KK was Zhan Yu.

That's nonsense!

If you keep spewing nonsense, I'm not going to hold back.

I wish it was all fake.

But when Zhan Yu was drug dealing, the drug enforcement branch had already known about it for a long time.

You can ask their Deputy Chief Cheng to confirm with you personally.

If it weren't for a drug addict father like you,

he wouldn't have known how expensive drugs were.

He wouldn't have started drug dealing.

You have to know that everyone is giving you empathy

because they thought Zhan Yu was a good student, a good son.

If they knew Zhan Yu was a drug dealer,

his father was a long-term drug addict,

the reason for protesting was to scam the Yan family's money to buy drugs,

instead of for his own son,

do you think your words would be believed by anyone?

Uncle Zhan, listen to me.

You should stop when you can.

If you keep doing this, the Yan family is not going to just sit there.

Once the situation gets bigger and all the information comes out,

in the end, it's Xiao Yu's reputation that gets hurt.

Do you really want to see that happen?

I'm not here to persuade you today.

I just want Xiao Yu to rest in peace.

His life was hard enough.

Even if he made mistakes when he was alive,

I still want him to leave with a good image.

I don't want Auntie Meiqin's heart to be crushed further.

You should know what's best.

Stop touching drugs.

Before the verdict has been set, stop messing with Yan Jin.

Xiao'ou, you are amazing.

How did you persuade Zhan Hailong?

I heard from Cheng Ruimin that he was a drug user,

so I gave him some pointers.

You should be careful next time. Tell me when something like this happens again.

I don't want you to be in danger doing this alone.

I understand.

Brother Feng, when did you start working at 1/3 Seafood Restaurant?

It's been half a year already.

During that time, you weren't on good terms with Yan Jin,

so I didn't tell you. I also asked Xiao Fang to keep it from you, too.

Don't be mad at me.

Not at all. You're doing all of this for Le Le.

- Did Yan Jin offer you good pay? - It's pretty good.

¥5,000-¥6,000 more than what I used to make as a driver.

To be honest, I'm very grateful.

Have you heard anything from Yan Jin?

Yan Shen visited him at the detention center.

She said his condition was pretty good.

Did Yan Shen say the probability of winning this case?

I don't know.

It seems like this case is very hard.

[Zhan Yu's funeral will be held tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. May the dead rest in peace.]

[My dearest brother, Zhan Yu, rest in peace]

We are here with grieving hearts

as we gather here.

By sending off our classmate, Zhan Yu, one last time.

May there be no pain in Heaven.

Zhan Yu, rest in peace.

Next, let's bow to our classmate, Zhan Yu,

three times to show our condolence.

First bow.

Second bow.

Third bow.

Sorry for your loss. We'll base this on the truth

and punish the killer.

Thanks to our country.

Thanks to the government and police department.

- Ji Xiao'ou. Miss Ji. - These reporters even came here?

Miss Ji, please answer our question.

- Excuse me! Excuse me! - Are you guys

really in a love triangle? Are you guys really in a love triangle?

We're here for Zhan Yu's funeral.

Everyone, we are here to pay our respects to Zhan Yu. Let's talk about this later.

[Memorial]

Xiao Yu, I'm here.

That "I'm willing" song, I still haven't finished learning.

Teach me in your next life. Okay?

Older Sister.

My happiest moment was being your younger brother.

Don't worry. I'll definitely be a brother whom you can be proud of.

[Yong An Hall] (Peaceful Hall)

Miss Ji!

Miss Ji, did you come here today because of your betrayal and your guilt?

- Miss Ji, did Yan Jin kill Zhan Yu because of you? - Was it a love triangle?

- Miss Ji, please answer our questions. - Say something, Miss Ji.

- Miss Ji, answer our questions. - Answer our questions.

- Say something. - Say something, Miss Ji. - Media.

Today, I only came here for my younger brother's funeral.

If you really want to know my feelings,

I'll take this chance and clarify a few points.

First, Yan Jin did not kill Zhan Yu. There is another murderer.

Everyone, please give the police more time to find the truth.

Second. Zhan Yu, Yan Jin, and I

don't have a relationship as messy as written on the internet.

There is someone who maliciously made it up.

Third, I ask everyone

to be respectful of the victim's family and people related to the case.

Don't disturb their normal lives.

The truth will eventually be revealed to everyone.

Also, please give Zhan Yu some peace today.

Thank you.

Please make way. Excuse me.

[The shocking love crime six years ago, Yan Jin was once involved in the killing of his sworn brother...]

Thank you...

for being able to say that at that moment.

I only did what I should do.

I believe there are more good people in this world.

Some people will keep their eyes open.

Do you think I'm a silly girl?

Here.

I'm just hoping Yan Jin can come back safely.

He definitely will.

I've been in this field for almost ten years. I've dealt with many difficult cases.

But, in the end, I won.

This time, I definitely will win, too.

Look at this.

Six years ago, Yan Jin was accused of killing a person?

This case was from long ago.

Why did it appear right now?

Yan Shen, what exactly is happening?

Yan Shen, what exactly happened six years ago?

[Chief Judge] [Judge]

Thank you.

That year, my brother had two best friends from the SWAT team.

One is Old Chen whom you know and another one is Sun Jiayu.

They all call him "Second Brother."

Second Brother was an undercover cop in a drug case.

Sadly during the final mission, he passed away.

My brother was also part of the final mission.

He was shot and unconscious.

After he woke up,

somehow he became Second Brother's murderer

because Sun Jiayu's bullet came from my brother's gun.

My brother completely took the blame.

The case during the time was exactly how it is now.

My brother was arrested, and there was a lot of evidence against him.

Our whole family thought there was no way of saving him.

You didn't know how despaired my parents were.

During that time, I was still new to law.

But my teacher, Sheng Liyan, was the best lawyer here.

My father personally asked him to deal with this case.

I was only his assistant.

We worked together for the whole defense case.

We failed in the first trial.

The defendant Yan Jin has committed first-degree murder.

He is convicted to a life sentence and lost his political rights for life.

When we were all in despair,

I finally found the evidence that could turn the case around.

Through a shoe found at the scene,

I found a drug maker called Zhang Guoqiang.

At the court, he confessed that it was he who shot Second Brother using Yan Jin's gun.

Teacher Sheng demonstrated a textbook level of turnaround

at the court of the retrial.

That's how my brother got released.

This case was always a pain for my brother.

After all of this, he didn't want to bring it up.

If you don't give up,

the truth will be revealed.

Once the trial starts,

all we have to do is wait for Yan Jin to be sentenced.

This case is finally over.

Everyone can go back and sleep well.

What's wrong, Boss? You don't want to talk because you're tired?

No.

I still feel uneasy.

The case hasn't been brought to court yet. Plus, there's Lawyer Yan.

She has never lost one case.

This time she's also the defending lawyer of her own brother.

At this moment, we have all the evidence.

The motive for murder is so clear. Unless a miracle happens,

Yan Shen won't be able to win this case.

No matter how you say it,

this case still has many conflicting points.

We still haven't caught Liu Wei yet.

Also, there're still a lot of unsolved questions for us.
