[Huangque City, 2011]

[The Fallen Bridge]

I am at the site of the collapsed Zhongnan Bridge.

Zhongnan Bridge is an important traffic route of Huangque City.

Behind me, you can see that the bridge has ruptured from 260 meters high.

Half of the bridge has collapsed.

Right now, the medical team, fire brigade, and excavating team are fighting against time for the rescue.

We're also working on river salvage.

The government has set up an investigation team immediately after the accident...

Wen Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu!

- Why are you calling her? - That's her hometown.

Isn't she from Huangque City?

Are you from Huangque City?

Look at the television.

- We're all very proud of this bridge. - He looks familiar.

Xiaoyu, isn't he your godfather?

I still can't understand how it collapsed.

He came to our school and gave a speech.

But as Vice Mayor Tang said earlier, we've formed an investigation team.

If there was an issue with the construction standards, we'll investigate thoroughly.

If there was corruption involved, we'll make sure the law is enforced.

Right now, the main possibility is an overload of the bridge.

We're waiting for the results of the investigation.

The ground is cold.

It's been raining, and the ground is cold.

Right now, our investigation team has reached a conclusion.

What kind of conclusion?

It was due to bad construction quality.

Corruption and lies!

So, the investigation team has decided to investigate all problems.

- All corruption will be punished. - It's corruption!

If the issue is with me, the law won't spare me.

- We won't spare you either. - I won't spare myself.

I want to guarantee that your compensation will be disseminated.

How can you compensate for the loss of a life?

- This was a life. - Please wait for the final investigation results.

- This was a life. - All right?

Madam.

Okay, Madam.

Do you know how we feel?

There will be an announcement next week.

[Green development for the waters of Huangque] [Huangque City Road And Bridge Construction Corporation]

Boss, you've been working all day.

Why don't you go back and have a rest?

Bullshit, the investigation team has been working relentlessly for days.

How can I go back to rest?

Have you heard anything from Ju Huaiyi?

We've been trying to get in touch with him, but he can't be found.

We don't know where he is.

Son of a bitch.

He can't escape.

Justice will be served.

Yes.

All these rubbish projects only waste money and hurt people.

Exactly.

Those bastards!

It's raining so heavily, but we still have to work.

Move it that way. I'm still in the rain.

Shut up, you aren't even getting any shelter.

Watch out! You hit me!

I told you to go that way.

What's this?

Is it a shoe?

Human bones.

Shocking news from the collapsed bridge.

While clearing the bridge pier, workers found a human skeleton.

The police rushed over in the rain.

The bridge clearing has been halted.

The skeleton has been extracted from the bridge pier.

The police is trying to identify the skeleton.

They found a corpse while clearing up the bridge.

In ancient China, people are buried in bridges as sacrifices.

Is it still possible now?

That's just a myth.

What is this?

The memorial of the Vietnam War.

- Who built it? - Lin Yin.

Yes, can someone summarize Lin Yin's identity in one sentence?

She's a renowned architect.

What else?

- A sculptor. - Yes, a sculptor.

You're studying in the school of architecture, but do you study other subjects?

- What are you good at? - Sculptures.

You also study sculptures, right?

Look at this piece. Is it architecture, a sculpture, or something else?

Doesn't it stand out as a sculpture?

It has transcended the language of architecture.

It's more than just a headstone.

In Chinese culture, there is

a calling out for our loved ones.

It's a beckoning for their return.

It's our communication with the past generation.

Ms. Feng!

What's going on?

This is three tons.

We can't move it, so we'll have to do it here.

We realized that he's kneeling.

His shoes are over there.

His skull, teeth, and features on his pubic bones identify him as a male.

Judging by his pose, he was buried alive.

He was definitely buried alive.

Look at his teeth.

It's the pink teeth phenomenon.

Well done.

- Thanks, Ms. Feng. We'll head off. - We'll come back in three days.

We need to do more tests.

Come and have a look.

Who still writes letters these days?

Seems like a whistle-blower's report.

Is the victim the whistle-blower?

He might be the architect and chief supervisor of this bridge, Wen Liang.

Wen Liang.

Who is he trying to expose?

The owner of Beisen Construction Company, Ju Huaiyi.

I saw the guy on the Wanted Notice.

The guy related to the bridge collapse. Was his name Ju Huaiyi?

Captain Liu, let's have a meeting.

Let's wait for the results of the DNA test.

Okay, we need to go.

[Evidence]

He went into an unfinished building called New Century.

Xiao Wang, stay here. Everyone else, go up!

Come with me! Quick!

Headquarters, we need support! Someone fell off a building!

The guy related to the bridge collapse.

Was his name Ju Huaiyi?

Yes, Ju Huaiyi.

Where did you see him?

He went into an unfinished building called New Century.

You need to hurry there before he escapes.

Did this woman collect the reward for reporting a wanted criminal?

Not yet.

Was it suicide or homicide?

We can't draw a conclusion yet.

It was really the perfect location for a murder.

The only CCTV within a 500-meter radius was from a supermarket.

I've been looking into this for a week, but barely found anything.

We didn't find any poison in his stomach.

Only noodles, ham sausage, porridge, and stuff like that.

We started looking for Ju Huaiyi because of Wen Liang.

Did he commit suicide out of guilt?

If Ju Huaiyi really killed Wen Liang, [Feels guilty]

he might think that he has come to the end of his days.

He'll die anyway.

Uncle Zhu.

Hello.

I'm Officer Xu Ye.

What happened?

This...

isn't my dad.

I understand how you feel, but...

No, that's not it.

My dad wore glasses.

He had a moustache.

You know him.

He doesn't look like this.

We understand your feelings,

but he's been dead for too long.

This is the way he looks now.

It's a good thing that she has another father.

How much?

¥7.50.

Get me a bag.

Help yourself.

The literacy rate has increased significantly.

Over 5 percent of the population are university students.

46.6 percent of the population who are farmers

are willing to resettle in cities for their children's education.

Up to 2020, the country's population increase will exceed 800 million.

The Bohai Economic Rim, the Yangtze Delta...

Your dad went to a better place.

He's free now.

Who knows?

[Photo album]

Xiaoyu.

You didn't keep a single picture?

Choose a picture for your dad's funeral.

I cut everything up.

We can cut both sides.

There's a hand on his shoulder.

Let's find one where he's standing alone.

Uncle Zhu.

I want to make a sculpture for my dad's funeral portrait.

Welcome.

Why are you even doing this?

- It's so interesting. - Yeah.

Why are you watching the news like this?

You don't even care about your son or the shop.

Big Sister is back.

Next Tuesday is my dad's funeral.

9 a.m. at Longgang Funeral Home.

Take this outside.

In the past, he messed around and ran off.

Now that he's back, he's been murdered.

Why is he so unlucky?

I must've met some evil spirits to be stuck with you two for life.

Mom, was my dad cheating on you false?

He clearly cheated on me.

Excuse me.

Do you have spicy beef noodles?

You were only 12 years old back then.

Did you forget how the torchlight was hurled at his face?

Did you catch him red-handed?

Dad said you were paranoid.

Paranoid?

Why are you still siding with him?

I even know the woman's name.

Song Yamei. That ugly vulgar bitch.

Ugly vulgar bitch.

Did he run away with that woman?

How do I know?

Ask Zhu Fangzheng.

He told me back then.

He persuaded me to move on from my marriage with your dad.

Sorry, my daughter.

I can't go to the funeral.

I don't want to go.

Long time no see, Dad.

Wen Liang was my university classmate.

At that time, we took a trip to Jiuzhai Valley.

I accidentally fell into the Colorful Pond.

I couldn't swim.

Wen Liang saved me.

He was such an upright, kind, and righteous man.

Eight years ago, he was murdered.

His life...

is like a drifting kite without a string.

He has wafted away.

Xiaoyu is his only daughter.

After Wen Liang's death, I took Xiaoyu in with her godmother.

After that, I paid for her university education.

She is a sensible and smart girl.

Your godmother and I truly wish you can graduate successfully.

We hope you can find a good job and have a family of your own.

Live your life to the fullest.

That's the only way to comfort your dad.

All right?

Good people will be rewarded.

Wen Liang is lucky to have a good classmate like you, Brother Zhu.

Xiaoyu is a hardworking girl as well.

Your son is also very outstanding with his life abroad.

That's excellent. Xiaoyu can go abroad in the future as well.

You have two children now, a son and a daughter.

A guy is looking for you.

I heard he was dug out from the cement.

Come with me.

That's brutal.

These people will be punished eventually.

They're horrendous.

That guy is up there.

Are you Wen Xiaoyu?

Yes.

Is Wen Liang your dad?

Yes.

I have something...

Xiaoyu!

Uncle Zhu.

We should go home.

Who was that?

No idea, some weird guy.

Be careful.

Mind your step.

Xiaoyu.

Focus on your studies.

Cheer up.

Call me if you feel down. I'll chat with you.

Okay, Uncle Zhu.

- I'm heading off. - Okay.

Who are you?

What do you want?

It doesn't matter who I am.

I just want to tell you something.

Well, just talk. Stop following me around.

I can't say it now. Can you come with me?

Why can't you tell me? Just say it here.

Tell me.

It's about your dad.

If you believe me, follow me.

Otherwise, I can't help you.

I can't tell you anything here.

Just say it here.

If you believe me, follow me.

Go on and tell me.

Do you know about my dad?

You know my dad, don't you?

Sit down first.

Do you know my dad's mistress?

At your dad's funeral, do you know why I left when I saw him?

- Saw who? - Zhu Fangzheng.

You know Uncle Zhu?

We were working on the construction site.

Zhu Fangzheng and Ju Huaiyi came to inspect the site.

It was Ju Huaiyi's birthday, so he ate barbecue skewers with us.

It was autumn.

Almost the end of October.

It was raining every day.

I was on duty in the middle of the night.

I saw your dad.

I didn't know he was your dad at that time.

We called him Chief Wen.

He was always in a blue jacket.

Your dad, Zhu Fangzheng, and Ju Huaiyi

hurriedly walked to the bridge pier.

It was pouring when they went over, so I couldn't see clearly.

I went back to my work.

Then, I fell asleep.

How can you be sure...

that the day my dad was killed...

was the day the three of them had an argument?

It was three days after Ju Huaiyi's birthday.

I can even remember the date.

The next day, your dad went missing.

Director Ju told us that your dad eloped with a woman.

Are you stupid?

Every word I heard just comes from you.

Why should I believe you?

If I'm talking bullshit, I'll be a motherless bastard.

Where's the evidence?

I have no evidence.

Where is the evidence?

You appear out of the blue and make up all this crap.

Maybe you're sent by Uncle Zhu's rival to frame and harm him.

Uncle Zhu has been punished. Please spare him.

You're such an idiot.

I'm not going to give a damn about you. Get lost!

I won't!

If what you said is true,

then you're the most important witness.

Come with me to the police.

- Come on. - I can't.

Why not?

- I just can't. - Why?

Tell me!

Why can't you go to the police?

Come with me to the police.

Get out.

I won't!

- Leave! - No way!

I've told you everything I know. I've done my best.

I won't leave!

I don't know what you should do.

But I've been through everything you've been through.

Don't touch me!

If you don't want to tell me, let the police know.

- Okay? - Leave.

Get out.

I told you everything I know.

There's nothing else I can do.

Xiaoyu, what's on your mind?

Uncle Zhu, I have a question for you.

Go ahead.

Did you tell my mom about my dad eloping with his mistress?

Maybe.

It's been so long. I can't remember clearly.

It's likely.

Everything that went on between my dad, that woman, and Ju Huaiyi

should be something you know well.

I don't know too much about their history.

Of course, as their leader and your dad's good friend,

I also feel very heartbroken to see such a tragedy.

However, there's an old saying by Zeng Guofan.

Don't dwell in the past.

Don't worry about the present.

Don't rush into the future.

- That means- - I can't do that.

What do you want to do?

I want to know the truth.

Come out!

Stop knocking.

I already told you.

I told you everything I know.

I've done my best, okay?

Why can't you go to the police?

Why won't you go to the police with me?

Stop asking!

I can't help you.

I won't leave.

I won't leave. Don't think of going anywhere either.

You can die in there.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

My dad is still waiting for me in his grave.

I'm going to kill the man who murdered him.

I killed someone. I've been on the run for eight years.

There was a hooligan...

who rapped my elder sister.

I stabbed him to death.

What about your sister?

She's dead.

Song Yamei called me.

Who's that?

My dad's mistress.

I'm going to look for her.

Are you sure?

Done.

Thank you.

Where is Xiaoyu?

She's back at school.

Xiaoyu.

Are you at school?

Yes, Uncle Zhu.

Everything went well, right?

Yeah.

- I'll come back during school break. - Okay, I'll pick you up at the bus stop.

That's fine. I can get home myself.

Okay.

Your clothes are scraps.

Put these on.

They aren't that bad.

Put them on.

I'll keep it on the bike.

We look so alike.

You're somewhat like my sister.

What's your name?

My name is Meng Chao.

What's this?

My sister's poetry book.

Is this your sister?

My sister used to love poems.

I can't understand why anybody would love poems.

[Utopia Dance Club]

Song Yamei.

How much do you know?

What's with you?

I invited you here to have fun.

My dad is dead.

He didn't die recently.

He's been dead for eight years.

But I just found out.

He was also murdered.

I didn't come here to have fun.

I want to know what happened to my dad.

What can you do even if you know?

I need to know because it's about my dad!

What's the point of knowing? He's already dead.

I can't let my dad die unjustly.

I love him.

I care about him.

I don't know if you love him or not, but I do.

Your dad knew that there were grave issues with the bridge's construction.

He wrote a whistle-blowing report to expose Ju Huaiyi.

Zhu Fangzheng kept trying to stop him.

So, your dad suspected that he accepted bribes during the bidding.

But Zhu Fangzheng was his classmate.

He had no evidence either.

Just stay here for a few days.

Don't go back to Huangque City for now.

At least Zhu Fangzheng doesn't know about this place.

If he was really the culprit,

I'll never let him off the hook.

You're exactly like your dad.

Fly from dusk!

Into the night!

The dark night is empty!

Why comfort me?

Ms. Song, hurry up. Brother Qi can't wait.

Got it, I'll be right there.

Fly from dusk... Into the night.

The dark night is empty.

Why comfort me?

I miss my sister.

What about you?

Do you miss your dad?

- Once this has passed, everything will be okay. - Yes, all right.

The most important thing now is for you to be at ease.

Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu, you're back.

Xiaoyu, you're lucky a delicious meal is waiting.

Come here.

You weren't at school when I visited.

I went for a trip with a friend.

I brought back some beef jerky.

That's great.

Make sure he brings some back.

Yes, of course.

You can have this.

Beef jerky used to be Genghis Khan's military rations.

Really? He's a gourmet, and he's knowledgeable.

All right.

Let me introduce my goddaughter, Wen Xiaoyu.

- How is her name written? - "Wen" for "news".

Oh, I see.

- Uncle Tang. - Nice to meet you, Uncle Tang.

- Are you still in school? - Yes, I am.

- Are you an undergraduate or postgraduate? - A postgraduate student.

Uncle Tang, here's to you.

Great.

All right, have some food.

Why don't you change your clothes first?

- It's wet. - It's fine.

I'll go to my room. I'm a little tired.

- Okay. - Enjoy the food.

- Okay. - Change your clothes and have a good rest.

Uncle Tang, enjoy your drink.

Her mom... Her godmother takes care of her.

- That made us closer. - Yes.

Dad.

Tell me.

Was it him?

Xiaoyu, your appetite has been good lately.

Vegetable dumplings.

I'll have one of these.

It's okay to have a little fried food.

[Ju Huaiyi]

A spam call.

These scammers are working so early in the morning.

Boss.

Are you alone?

Yes.

It's too dark, so I turned on the headlights.

You said you were his mistress.

Bigshots sure are forgetful.

Ju Huaiyi took me to drink with you.

He had too many mistresses.

So, how much is love worth?

It's worthless.

What's your name?

Gan Xiaoyang.

I don't want to talk crap here.

After Ju Huaiyi's death, my kid and I have been struggling to survive.

I didn't get any money.

But I have something here.

You'll be very thrilled to see it.

Are you trying to snatch it from me?

I have back-up copies.

I'm not stupid.

Let's talk.

I want 300...

¥300?

No, ¥3 million.

I can give you ¥300.

Well, tell me.

Why do you deserve this much?

That fucking bastard.

I know him very well.

He would never commit suicide.

All your horrible deeds are worth more than ¥3 million.

Fine.

Don't play with me. We're signing a contract.

Would anyone sign a contract for this? That's ridiculous.

All right.

If I don't get the money in a week, I'll send this to the police.

- Gan Xiaoyang. - What?

I remember her.

You recognize her?

Ju Huaiyi often took her to the construction site to have fun.

She loved red.

She's very outgoing, too.

Ju Huaiyi loved her to bits.

You can still remember this after eight years?

So what? I have a good memory.

What on earth did she show Zhu Fangzheng?

How's the water tower demolition project in the South Town?

Why is there no progress?

Director Liu and his investors are waiting.

They've torn down everything and moved people away.

The redevelopment can only happen after the demolition.

What's going on, Jianguo?

Boss, we were cooperating with the investigations of the collapsed bridge.

We were also trying to pacify the relatives of the victims.

So, there were some delays.

Yes, that's right.

Speak Mandarin. I don't understand what you're saying.

We only managed to deal with the complaints yesterday.

I understand your stress.

But there's an old saying by Zeng Guofan.

Being a politician is about being patient.

Only when you're patient can you solve problems.

Pressing times are true tests of our capabilities,

our faith, and our beliefs.

This includes me.

Hurry up.

Okay.

Hello, sir.

Are you free to talk?

Yes, please carry on.

This is about Ju Huaiyi's case.

Wasn't it partially resolved as suicide from guilt?

I exhausted immense effort and resources on that.

Let's talk about Gan Xiaoyang when we meet tonight.

Got it, sir.

Who is this?

I'm Wen Liang's daughter, Wen Xiaoyu.

What are you doing here?

Mommy, can we take Snowball to the vet?

She hasn't eaten or drunk anything for a whole day.

What's your problem? You're always stirring trouble when I have a guest.

Come here. Let me see.

It's a splinter.

See?

Yeah.

Aren't you burping? Drink some water.

I need to speak to her.

It's nothing.

It's just a pension. Nothing else.

Did you collect your compensation?

It takes time to be processed.

It's not that easy with money.

What if I hand this to the police?

Everything will be clear then.

If you wanted to hand that to the police, you would've done so ages ago.

Why are you even talking to me here?

My life is already miserable.

I lost my husband. I'm on my own.

You saw it. You took a picture.

You're... despicable.

If you keep doing this, I'll teach you a lesson.

Don't think I'm a silly woman.

I'm not silly.

How much do you want?

There is no truth.

We're both women.

Money is the most important to us.

I don't want a single cent.

How can you survive without money?

I just want to live.

Stop forcing me into a corner.

I don't care if you believe me or not.

I'll give you this.

For your daughter's sake,

think about it.

I can give you some of the money.

I'll also take the risk.

Think about what you want to do.

Thanks for the picture.

Give Mommy a hug.

That sister is so fierce, but I'm not afraid of her.

Did you get it?

She won't give it to you, or she'll lose her bargaining chip.

She is our only hope now.

We can follow her and Zhu Fangzheng.

We'll get to the truth eventually.

She'll only stir more trouble.

She should be erased.

Everyone's family and lives will be implicated.

It goes far beyond our friendship.

What about this, sir?

Give me a chance to fork out ¥3 million.

I'll pay Gan Xiaoyang and see if she leaves.

If she doesn't, then I'll resort to the extreme measure.

- How about that? - Think it through.

Give both of us a chance.

Giving her a chance means sending us to hell.

I'll put it this way.

When you put my life and my family at risk,

what do you think I will do with you?

This demolition blasting is very complicated.

There is a residential area up ahead and a primary school at the back.

Brother Zhu, don't worry.

We'll have the most professional plan in place

to demolish these four towers from the middle.

Everything beyond this region will be safe.

- This is Tower Three. - Okay.

Be careful, Brother Zhu.

Be careful, Brother Zhu.

The demolition will happen at 9:40 on the 10th, right?

Yes.

Okay, I'll wait for your good news.

Of course.

- Goodbye. - Take care.

Hey, move the truck.

Move it.

To that side.

[Explosives | Danger]

What's going on?

It's nothing.

What's he doing here?

He's probably here for an inspection.

[Ju Huaiyi: A friendly reminder for the first payment!]

He brought a suitcase.

The money for Gan Xiaoyang should be in it.

Which building did he enter?

This one in front of us.

This building's been vacated.

Come on.

I'm going out to meet someone.

I'll be out for a while.

When I'm back, we can eat out.

We'll have hot pot.

Remember what I told you.

Let's go.

Gan Xiaoyang's car exploded twice.

The first one is from an explosive.

The second one was the oil tank exploding.

We found nitrate explosives underneath the car.

It's hard to tell if it was remotely triggered.

Everything in the car, including her mobile phone, is burned.

Technological restoration is impossible.

According to her call records,

her last phone call was when her daughter, Lanmei, called.

The victim is Gan Xiaoyang.

She was the mistress of Ju Huaiyi, the culprit in the bridge burial case.

As far as we know, Gan Xiaoyang had rather complex social relations.

She met Ju Huaiyi at the bar she was singing at.

After she became Ju Huaiyi's mistress, she stopped all socializing activities.

Now, we're trying to figure out whether this explosion

is tied to the bridge burial case.

Do you remember the anonymous call we discussed a while back?

I remember, it was a woman.

According to the latest reports from the technical department,

it was a man who posed as a woman with a voice changer device.

That was how he made the anonymous call to us.

There's a high chance that the caller is the culprit.

It's very likely.

From now on, the case analyses of our task force must be kept confidential.

Strictly confidential.

Time waits for no man. Let's hurry up.

You guys can look into places where such explosives are used.

Call the police.

We don't have any evidence.

What's the point of calling the police?

Right now,

we're in the same boat.

If one person sinks, we all sink.

I don't care about your affairs.

Just think about your son.

Go to Australia and visit our son.

I went to the kindergarten and inquired.

Lanmei hasn't showed up for several days.

Gan Xiaoyang's parents can't be located in their hometown either.

How many days has it been?

It should be three or four days.

Did she disappear around the same time?

Almost.

She didn't go to the kindergarten. Did you ask the neighbors?

The neighbors said they haven't heard a thing for days.

It's possible that the little girl just got lost.

She's bound to return.

We don't know about that.

Where did she go?

Wen Xiaoyu.

Stop running.

Stop!

WHy are you running? Stop!

Go up there.

Why are you running?

Do you know Gan Xiaoyang?

No.

- What are you doing there? - Her death is all over the news.

She's tied to the person who killed my dad.

What's wrong with me coming here?

Why did you just walk in?

Didn't you see that her house has been cordoned off?

You have to trust us.

Okay.

I'll call the police now.

Gan Xiaoyang was killed.

That means there's a culprit behind my dad's death.

Even if I believe that,

I have no direct evidence to prove it.

Look for it!

Who ran off with you?

Who's that boy?

Can you give it to me?

Answer me! Who's that boy?

Lanmei.

Snowball.

Are you looking for me?

Then my mommy went out that day,

she said that if she doesn't come home at night,

I need to give this to you.

But I don't know where you live.

I'm also scared of going home.

So, I waited for you nearby.

You trust me, right?

Go and find the police over there.

His name is Xu Ye.

Don't tell him about this USB drive.

Just tell him that you got lost.

He will help you, okay?

Hurry on.

Goodbye, Big Sister.

Lanmei.

Dumplings for takeaway.

- He's a smart guy. - Yes, sure.

That's not true.

Mr. Ju, we owe everything to you. Our future projects...

- Thank you, Brother Tang. - Bottoms up!

Cheers!

This was when Gan Xiaoyang was pregnant with Lanmei.

That's Ju Huayi.

She's experienced with secretly filming people.

This guy named Tang has Zhu Fangzheng's back.

I met him not long ago.

What are you doing?

Hurry up and pack. Nobody comes here.

You're going to get me in trouble someday.

That's the bridge pier I was talking about.

My dad.

My dad.

What do you mean?

Demolish this and rebuild it?

Do you want me to lose my job?

Do you want my superiors to lose their jobs?

You can't just think about yourself.

You have to consider the big picture.

If I didn't negotiate with all the stakeholders, do you think you would've gotten this project?

Wen Liang, don't be such a fool.

Chief Wen.

- The bridge is yours. - I don't want to talk to you.

No, listen to me.

The bridge is yours, and the design is also yours.

You'll take credit for everything.

It's not as severe as you think.

Take this ¥500,000 first.

Give me the whistle-blowing letter.

Let go of me.

What the hell? Zhu Fangzheng, so this is your true nature?

In the end, you two are accomplices.

You're really hopeless.

You've lost your wits.

If you continue with this, I'll report you, Old Zhu.

So, you're a saint now?

Didn't I wipe your ass every time?

That's a different issue. What the hell do you mean?

I ended things with Song Yamei.

But what you're doing here is illegal.

Give me the letter!

Let me see.

You still have a chance to turn back, Old Zhu.

Stop this mistake right away. Stop deluding yourself.

Look at what you did.

- People's lives are on the line. - What the hell do you want?

Give it to me!

Don't snatch it!

Let's stop watching this.

I'll handle this.

Leave it to me.

I'll deal with this.

Yes, Brother Qiang?

What's the matter?

It's been found?

Great, I'm with Captain Liu.

Okay, bye.

Liu Qiang? What did he say?

They found a fragment of a wireless detonator.

This detonator must be

within 400 meters of the vehicle.

Doesn't that mean the criminal was nearby?

Yes.

But we watched all the CCTV footage from the area and couldn't find any culprits.

Brother Qiang tracked the serial number on the explosive to locate a spot.

- Let's go. - Let's check it out.

I didn't dare to ask or say anything. [Explosives | Danger]

He's the boss.

He said he wanted to blow up fish, so what could I say?

How many did he take?

Two tubes.

It's a match.

He gave me ¥500.

Who was it?

Zhu Fangzheng.

Lanmei.

For the past few days, where did you sleep?

The trash cans.

There's food in there.

They can keep the rain away, and they're warm.

They're just a bit stinky.

Big Sister, do you know?

My mommy might be dead.

Right?

Do you miss your mom?

I'm okay.

I miss my dad, too.

One, two, three.

Okay.

What kind of fish is this?

This is Baoshao fish, a Yunnan dish.

Who taught you this?

My elder sister.

That'll do.

Three, two, one, start.

She can't tie it as well as you, Lanmei.

Lanmei, eat some fish.

Dead fish.

Dead fish.

This one here is me.

That's you.

You won't end up like me.

This fish is trapped until it dies.

It can't escape.

What's the point of staying alive?

But you're a fish in the sea.

When I solve my dad's case,

that's when I'll be a fish in the sea.

Isn't this a fish from the sea as well?

Is Zhu Fangzheng in?

Is Zhu Fangzheng in?

Hello.

Who are you?

We are from the police.

Here's my identification.

Is Zhu Fangzheng here?

Fangzheng.

Why are you holding a knife?

- I'm killing a fish. - Scared me for a second.

We're from the police.

- This is Captain Liu. - Hello.

We need to check something with you.

Okay, have a seat.

Did you take two tubes of explosives from the water tower's warehouse?

That was my mistake.

I'm sorry. Can you wait here for a second?

Xiao Hui, make some tea for our guests.

I know blowing up fish is illegal.

But I just couldn't resist.

So, I got two tubes of explosives from the warehouse.

I wanted to go to the countryside to blow up fish.

But I couldn't make the trip because work got busy.

I know it's wrong to even harbor such ideas.

I'll reflect on my actions.

Please check these. Look, everything is here.

The explosives...

They're all here.

The fishing tools are also kept here.

We have to detain you for illegal possession of explosives.

I understand.

- This isn't a joke. - I know.

By the way, I need to speak with the police.

Take a seat while I bring something over.

Something's off about these.

Two tubes were from the water tower.

Two tubes were on Gan Xiaoyang's car.

Why are there two more tubes here?

- Just arrest him. - No, we won't.

Why not? This is the best time to arrest him.

It's not that simple.

- Captain Liu, come have a seat. - Okay.

Have a seat.

Here's the thing.

I have a goddaughter, Wen Xiaoyu.

She's Wen Liang's daughter.

She recently got herself a boyfriend.

I'm a little worried, so I looked him up.

I found something shocking.

This guy is a murderer on the run.

Take a look at this person.

His name is Zhang Qingdong.

- I'll check. - Look him up.

Is he that fugitive kid?

I think he's been on the run for years.

Found him.

- Really? - It's been eight years.

Look, is he the one?

Right?

Right now, I...

I'm just guessing.

Do you think...

Xiaoyu thinks that Ju Huaiyi killed her father.

So, did she ask him to kill Ju Huaiyi's mistress?

Do you think it's possible?

I'm most worried about Xiaoyu's absence from school.

I can't reach her.

Of course, these are just my speculations.

You're the professionals. I only provide leads.

This isn't a simple matter.

If he's involved in this, we have to be patient and avoid rash action.

We have to report this information back.

We need to apply for the arrest warrant quickly.

Have you ever gone fishing?

What do you mean?

Check out the warehouse again.

The government is focusing on anti-corruption.

No one can escape.

You know, the boy he was talking about?

When I went to Gan Xiaoyang's house a few days ago,

I spotted a boy with Wen Xiaoyu.

They ran off when I tried to approach them.

Look into both of them.

Mommy...

What are you doing?

Meng Chao?

Where are you going?

Where are you going? Come back.

It doesn't matter if it's fish in a tank or in the sea.

If you want to live, this is the only way.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Come back.

I'll take this USB drive to the police and turn myself in.

This has nothing to do with you.

Give me back the USB drive.

My actions are none of your business.

Why isn't it my business? That's my dad!

Zhu Fangzheng killed my dad, not your dad.

How is this none of my business?

Who the hell do you think you are?

What's wrong?

- Are you getting rid of me after you've used me? - Yes.

This is who I am.

Who the fuck I'm I?

If this isn't my business, you'd still be living in Zhu Fangzheng's house.

Didn't you ask me to be an eyewitness?

I'm going now.

Go then!

I'll be the one to make the police report.

I changed my mind.

Give me back the USB drive.

That's proof that Zhu Fangzheng killed my dad!

Meng Chao.

Xiaoyu, I want you to live a proper life.

I know what you're trying to do.

But I don't want you do that.

I'm not the only one that should live.

All three of us need to lead proper lives.

Xiaoyu.

Today is my birthday.

Come over for dinner tonight.

Let's talk.

Okay.

Bring Gan Xiaoyang's daughter over.

Xiaoyu.

Don't you have our housekey?

I lost it.

Where's the girl?

The only one who matters is already here.

Okay.

Here, Xiaoyu.

Thank you.

I'll drink first.

Good.

Xiaoyu.

Thank you very much for coming.

The incident with your dad and I..

should doom me to hell.

It's your birthday today.

Let's not talk about this.

Okay.

I made this cake just for you

It's really beautiful.

- Do you have a lighter? - Yes.

Xiaoyu, back then...

You can put in the candles.

You should just think about the wish you want to make.

Make a wish.

I'll turn off the lights.

Your dad had the whistle-blowing letter on him.

If this matter is leaked...

Uncle Zhu.

It's your birthday.

I'm here to celebrate your birthday.

Let's not talk about this, okay?

Okay. I mean, if it gets out...

Right now, I want you to make a wish.

Okay.

After that, you can blow out the candles.

Okay.

Uncle Zhu.

- Happy birthday. - Thank you.

Please forgive me, Xiaoyu.

♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪

Forgive me.

♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪

Xiaoyu, spare me...

♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪

Please spare me.

Xiaoyu, spare me...

Xiaoyu, dinner time.

Xiaoyu.

Lanmei, where's Xiaoyu?

She was here just now.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop running!

You go up there.

Who are you?

Little girl, are you Lanmei?

That's me. What do you want?

How many people are in the house?

I don't know. I can't count.

- Anyone there? - Nope.

Keep searching. He can't get away.

How did you get to know Meng Chao and Wen Xiaoyu?

I'm an orphan. I follow people who are kind to me.

You told me...

I have to make a wish.

I wish we can still be a family.

Xiaoyu, look.

I helped your dad get this award for his design.

Look, it's a gold- [Living humbly with great ambitions]

Stop! Don't run!

Do you know...

I really thought of you as my father.

But you...

You treated me like a fool.

Call me an ambulance.

You need me alive to pay for my sins, right?

Why couldn't he see that you were a bastard?

I promise I'll turn myself in.

But not now.

Zhang Qingdong, don't do this.

I prepared a poisoned glass for you.

I couldn't bear to use it.

But you still stabbed me.

You stabbed me.

Zhang Qingdong!

Stop running.

Your case can be clarified.

Where can you run to?

Come back!

When you meet your dad,

tell him...

as his daughter,

you did your best...

to avenge him.

My time hasn't come yet.

This is just...

doing our best...

and leaving the rest to fate.

I have a USB drive with me.

It has more than just evidence of you killing Xiaoyu's dad.

There are tons of things in it.

You won't have enough lives to pay for these crimes.

I know Xiaoyu must be with you.

Fine.

Bring me the USB drive.

I'll give her back to you.

Where?

Recognize me?

I have the two tubes of explosives Zhu Fangzheng took from here.

Tell me which box these two tubes came from.

Give it to me.

What are you looking for?

Do you burn moxa sticks in here?

How can I do that here? I'm not an idiot.

This is moxa.

- That's not possible! - It's all moxa.

How can they be moxa?

You're the warehouse keeper. You tell us!

I have no idea.

The entire tube is made of moxa.

- Hello, Captain Liu. - Did you find anything?

Zhu Fangzheng switched the explosives.

What? Zhu Fangzheng is missing?

Hey, use Line 4 to speak to me. Number 3.

Old Meng, check carefully. Water Tower Four.

Go on.

Start the blasting at 9:40 sharp.

Xiao Lin, do the security check again.

Okay.

All teams, report in for a safety inspection.

All clear for Tower Three.

All clear for Tower Two.

All clear for Tower One.

Are you okay?

That murderer will come to save you soon.

What did you say?

Meng Chao is coming here?

- Look, he's calling. - What did you say?

Come through the back door.

Meng Chao.

Meng Chao!

- Follow the path. - Don't come here!

- Listen to me! Don't come here! - Get into Tower Three.

Zhu Fangzheng.

You'll rot in hell.

You'll definitely rot in hell.

You'll rot in hell.

Your dad really didn't bring you up well.

- How heartbreaking. - My dad saved your life.

Without him, you wouldn't have lived to this day.

- Screw you! - Whore.

- Xiaoyu doesn't exist to me now. - Yes, I'm a whore. So what?

Even a whore is human.

You aren't even a human or an animal.

You'll rot in hell, Zhu Fangzheng. I bet you will.

If the Heavens wants someone dead, they'll start with insanity.

Excellent.

He's here.

Meng Chao.

Don't come up, Meng Chao!

Meng Chao, don't come up.

Meng Chao, go down. Get down.

You didn't bring what I wanted.

You're just here to take her away.

- Enough with your bullshit. - Give it to me.

I didn't bring it with me.

- Don't you want her to live? - Don't be rash.

I brought it.

It's down there.

- Let Xiaoyu go down and get it. - I want you to get it.

You have no choice.

I can kill her.

Go ahead. Do it.

You won't kill XIaoyu before you get the evidence.

I'm telling you.

I don't trust you.

Let her go down there.

She can get it.

Come here.

Get over here!

Unlock her handcuffs.

Meng Chao.

Meng Chao, what are you doing?

Why are you giving him the USB drive?

Cuff yourself.

The key.

Move.

Move it!

Move.

I'll give you five minutes.

Bring it to me.

Or I'll kill him.

Do you understand?

I'm not going.

Xiaoyu!

Listen to me.

Just go get it and everything will be fine.

Stop whispering. What did you say?

I need to tell her where it is for her to get it.

Why are you giving him the USB drive?

The USB drive is on the motorcycle. Come back once you get it.

Still whispering?

Still want to do it?

Hurry!

I'll go.

Come back when you find it.

[Danger zone]

Don't you recognize me?

I knew you ages ago.

Who the hell are you to be acquainted with me?

Murderer.

I killed someone just like you.

Stray dog.

How did you end up with Xiaoyu?

I worked at Ju Huaiyi's construction site.

The day you killed Xiaoyu's dad, I was there.

Surprised?

This world is so small.

Ju Huaiyi was also very scheming.

He left you a ticking bomb.

Trash.

Who the hell are you to talk to me like this?

Hooligan.

Beggar.

Five minutes are up.

Why isn't she back yet.

How would I know?

What are you playing here?

What are you scheming?

She'll be back soon.

She'll be right back.

Don't worry.

Why isn't she back yet?

You took her phone.

Who the heck are you calling?

- Meng Chao. - Mr. Zhang!

You can't blast this place!

Let's get the time right.

Start the demolition on time.

Don't blow this place up!

Stop the explosion!

Start the countdown now.

Meng Chao.

Meng Chao.

You didn't get the USB drive. Where are you going?

Bro.

We're both poor folks, so let me go.

I'll also spare you.

You killed Xiaoyu's dearest person. How can I spare you?

Bro.

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Four!

Three!

I'm scared of meeting Wen Liang.

- Xiaoyu. - Two!

Goodbye.

One!

Officer Xu.

It always takes a fight to become buddies.

We seem to be the same age.

That's why I wrote you this letter.

I promised you that I would turn myself in.

Sorry, I didn't keep my promise.

But I think this ending couldn't be better for me.

[Huangque City's Safety Conference 2011]

Xiaoyu asked me to give you the attached USB drive.

She is a good person.

She's also a good girl.

When I first met her, I thought she was like my elder sister.

It's quite embarrassing to say this,

but I'm in love with her.

But I don't think I deserve her.

I already lost a sister.

I don't want her to live a tough life.

I hope you can talk to her if you have the time.

She deserves a more hopeful life.

I didn't write the letter to her

because I don't want her to remember me.

Haizi said, "Birds flying like black raindrops, soaring from dusk into the dark night."

I'm the only one that needs to be in the dark.

I want Xiaoyu to live happily in the daylight.

This is my final letter in this world.

I've never had a good life.

I'm not looking forward to the next life either.

I just want Xiaoyu to be happy.

If you can look after Xiaoyu and Lanmei in the future,

I'll be very grateful in the afterlife.

Thank you. Be well.

Zhang Qingdong.

Meng Chao.

His name is Zhang Qingdong.

He's my Meng Chao.

I'm sorry, Meng Chao.

All I wanted to do was to get revenge for my dad.

I never meant to harm you.

I really regret this.

When Officer Xu approached me,

I told him everything about Zhu Fangzheng.

That devil has been brought to justice.

I promise you this.

Lanmei and I will live well...

in the daylight.

Dad.

Goodbye.
