[Be Reborn]

[Episode 8]

Where were you?

You look nervous.

Nothing.

What are you doing?

I bought you some fruits

at the stall downstairs.

You are still recovering.

You need to replenish your vitamins.

(You're well enough to be discharged.)

You don't even need a PFT.

You're running faster than me!

The officer is here too.

What's wrong? Didn't you get your checkup?

I had a stomachache.

So, I came back.

A stomachache?

Okay.

Well...

I'll go with you later.

Okay.

No, it's not okay.

Don't trouble the officer

with such a trivial matter.

I'll go with you.

Okay?

I'll leave you be.

If you

ever need anything,

let me know.

Here.

You had a stomachache.

You can't have

cold and raw fruit.

Aren't you in a hurry?

Go on.

Take the IV pole.

Zhuang Wenjie,

sometimes you are just too stubborn.

There was a washroom at the checkup ward,

why must you come back here?

The stolen item

is a key terminal.

In layman's terms,

this is a transmitter of keys.

Companies that use Qing'an Security System

must download a key

from this terminal.

(If the thief)

(cracked the terminal,)

(every company's)

(security measures)

(will be as good as nothing.)

[Updating Keys]

[Updating Completed]

[Anyuan Asset Management] (That includes the door security,)

(security and protection,)

(long-distance conference system,)

(and many more.)

(Every company)

(with a security system designed and installed by Qing'an)

will be rendered inoperable.

That's serious.

This is far more severe

than a mere case of stealing from the safe.

If the plan succeeds,

the consequences are immeasurable.

How many companies are working

with Qing'an?

As far as I know,

Qing'an has business partnerships

with companies

involved in financial services and foreign trade.

There will be numerous companies

that use their systems.

When Shi Lei was captured,

he told us

he was blackmailed by a man

who was wearing

a mask.

He has an accomplice.

What was he called again?

The Engineer?

Yes.

We have found the van caught on

the security cameras

the other night.

The vehicle uses a fake plate.

The owner was released on bail half a month ago.

Unfortunately, the vehicle

had been cleaned thoroughly.

There was no clue to be found.

What about the Engineer?

We are preparing his facial composite.

We'll have Shi Lei identify it

afterward.

Okay, follow that lead.

One more thing.

If the Engineer is using this device

to crack Qing'an's system,

how long will it take?

The hackers can't even get any data.

Even

the best among hackers

will need to find a flaw

in the system

to crack it.

Even that takes a long time.

I'm worried the Engineer

isn't your average hacker.

That is true.

But the Internet Security Management

should have a record

of a hacker like him.

Any countermeasure from Qing'an?

Qing'an's plan

is to do a security upgrade

to overhaul everything

and render

the stolen terminal useless.

How long will it take?

Their experts estimate

it will at least take 12 hours.

In other words,

it's less than seven hours

from now.

Seven hours?

If the hackers crack it in time,

he can steal

from any company he wants.

Our top priority

is to arrest

this thief

before time runs out.

You mentioned

the hacker was skilled.

Does he not know about

the countermeasure?

Good question, Captain Luo.

If the hackers

are already cracking the system,

they will be able

to notice

the anomaly caused

by the upgrade.

Are you saying

we only have seven hours,

just like those hackers?

Yes.

We don't have much time left.

We'll split up.

Ye,

For the hacker named Engineer,

I suggest

we trace

the attack path

and locate him.

Okay.

Tell the Internet Security Management to hurry up.

Dazhi.

Contact the person in charge at Qing'an.

We need a detailed list

of their clientele.

Before the upgrade

is fully completed,

we need to find out the top target

of those hackers.

Given their painstaking effort,

their target

must be significant.

Well?

I checked.

The suitcase Fatty Sun brought

contains nothing but books

and some clothing.

That's all they had

in the suitcase?

I'm just as baffled.

I checked

the ward as well.

There wasn't anything unusual.

What about Fatty Sun?

Sun Zhijian?

Forget about him.

He doesn't take

anything seriously.

He's just like Pang Dazhi,

overly carefree.

Captain Luo,

how should I proceed?

(Time waits for no one.)

I must remind you

that at midnight,

make sure you're there on time.

Otherwise,

you'll never know the secret.

Zhuang Wenjie, I get it now.

You're still here.

The police officer

keeps wandering at the entrance.

She even peeks at you.

Is she in love with you?

What is this nonsense?

This is why you want me here

instead of Lin Zhiyue.

I thought

you two had a fight.

As it turns out,

you're worried she might

be jealous

when she sees the officer.

This won't do,

I must keep an eye on you for Lin Zhiyue.

I'll take a leave

and keep you company here.

Enough of this nonsense.

It's been too long.

You should know by now

how she feels about you.

I thought

you two were getting together.

And then,

another pretty woman came out of nowhere.

Zhuang Wenjie,

heed my advice.

Older women may be more mature,

but Lin Zhiyue's love for you

is true and pure.

Do you know what's been going on?

I can't stand it anymore.

It was bad enough

that you wouldn't let her visit you,

but at least give her a call,

okay?

That's enough. Can you just leave me alone?

But...

Are you too shy to call her?

I can give you a push.

I'll call her.

Put the phone down.

Give me the phone!

Zhiyue...

Zhiyue!

Zhiyue!

Give me the phone!

What are you two doing?

I was looking for better signals.

Officers.

You can carry on.

I'll get out of your hair.

Why are you here, Captain Luo?

What is going on?

The signal is trash here.

How...

There is no signal here.

-Hey. -There's no...

Your name is Sun Zhijian.

Do you major in computer science?

You were even awarded

a scholarship by your school.

Nothing to write home about.

I'm the third best student in my school.

But how do you know?

I know even more.

Come on.

Let's have a chat.

The case is solved.

Liao Detong

has faced his punishment.

[Qingcheng Public Security Bureau: Criminal Case File]

The collecting

of evidence is over.

I got

these out for you.

See if

there is any problem.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

I charged it for you.

Give it a check.

If everything is alright,

I need your signature on these three forms.

Captain Luo.

Is there anything else?

(In 2015, you hacked into)

the administration system

of your school.

You altered your attendance record

and exam grades.

Your got detention for it.

It was four years ago.

Weren't you

still in high school?

According to my colleague,

after you watched

the news about Jia Jinyan,

you deducted right away

the thief stole more

than just Jia Jinyan's manuscript.

Impressive.

That is enough to show

you know a thing or two

about

criminal profiling.

We study that subject in school.

My grade is decent.

I see.

I can see why Ding Shenghuo

is doing everything he can to recruit you.

I see.

I see why you sent

Ms. Liao to look after me.

He wants me to look after him.

It's inappropriate

for some things to be handled by girls.

I have no reason to lie to you.

What's so inappropriate?

He's still capable of self-care.

Well...

His hand is hurt.

He needs help with showering.

I can help him out.

Can you help him with that?

I can help him with that.

So,

what's the suitcase for?

The suitcase?

Officer, what a silly question.

He needs clean clothes

after taking a shower. Right?

How

do I carry the clothes here?

With the suitcase, of course.

Right?

Did you open the suitcase?

I hope

you understand my concern.

You're a smart person.

You come

from a special family and background.

You study law.

When it comes to

criminal profiling,

the ability

to mimic the criminals'

train of thoughts

comes naturally to you.

I am worried that you

might become one of them.

I hope you can become

one of us.

"Us?"

The police force.

Don't you want to join us

in the future?

I never thought about it.

You may consider it now.

It's alright.

You got your phone back.

If you need to make a phone call,

you can do it from the bed.

You won't have to

visit the nurse station.

See you.

Captain Luo.

Is there anything else?

What else can I do for you?

You recorded the conversation?

It's nothing.

I was doing

a survey.

Calm down.

You'll be safe as long as you don't lie.

Did you lie?

No.

Let's go.

Goodbye, sir.

Do I look that old to you?

No.

When was your father born?

In 1975.

You addressed me right then.

Anything from the chubby kid?

I didn't even have to use

the method you taught me.

The kid told me everything

as soon as he got nervous.

He came here

because Zhuang Wenjie called him.

Zhuang Wenjie asked him to bring the suitcase.

It was locked though.

Even Sun Zhijian doesn't know

what exactly

is inside the suitcase.

He was clearly lying.

Zhuang Wenjie doesn't

live in the dorm of the uni.

How could he get his clothes?

According to him,

Zhuang Wenjie's suitcase

has always been kept

at the center for extracurricular activities.

He didn't prepare it

recently.

Captain Luo, do you remember

the computer that was lost at Zhuang Wenjie's dorm?

It was Sun Zhijian's doing.

It happened so long ago,

it's hard to...

I must remind you,

think before you speak.

I checked the security footage

inside and outside of the dorm.

I already have a general picture

of what was going on.

No way.

The security footage

is deleted

less than a month after the recording.

Where did you get the footage?

Yes.

Normally,

the footage would be deleted.

But the footage of that day

involves theft.

It wasn't deleted.

Did you

see everything?

Zhuang Wenjie. What is it?

Hand it over.

What?

The computer!

What... What computer?

What...

The computer from our dorm!

What are you saying?

When you came to my room yesterday,

I knew

something was off about you.

I did it in the heat of the moment.

Your roommate

has a high-end computer.

But all he does

is chat with girls.

That is too wasteful.

Such a high-end device

should be used by people

with more technical skills like me.

That's why...

That doesn't

justify stealing it.

It's not stealing.

This is not stealing.

I only

want some of the parts on it

and install them on my computer.

I'll install my old parts

back on his.

Don't worry.

He will never know.

Forget it.

This is no different from stealing.

You committed a crime.

Well, I'll...

I'll return the parts,

okay?

It was Zhuang Wenjie

who secretly returned the computer.

But someone

had already informed the security guard.

He was even suspected of stealing it.

Sun Zhijian wanted to stand up and clarify,

but he was too scared.

And then, it developed into

the case we investigated.

Zhuang Wenjie is still

a righteous person.

From what I see,

even if Ding Shenghuo

sent him any messages,

he wouldn't do anything

that he shouldn't.

He probably didn't even

understand the messages.

By the way,

have our expert cracked

Ding Shenghuo's password?

We are working on it.

Captain Luo.

Did you come all the way here

just to pass him

his belongings?

No.

I gave him some work

so he doesn't cause us trouble.

No need to see me off.

When he's discharged,

you can report back

to the team with peace of mind.

But Captain Luo,

that will take days.

Let Pang Dazhi do it instead.

Don't bother, you did great.

You'll do fine.

Stop pacing around.

You're making me dizzy.

Try to recall everything.

What else did she ask you about

aside from the dorm?

Nothing.

I mean it. There was nothing more to tell her.

I admitted to everything.

Will the police...

Calm down.

If you were in trouble,

she would have arrested you.

What now?

Stomachache.

Not again!

We had the same food.

These are the active hackers

in Qingcheng City

over the past five years

and experts in the related field.

See if

[Records of Registered IT Specialists] the Engineer is among them

[China Police]

[Records of Registered IT Specialists]

This...

This is him.

Are you sure?

Yes.

He and I worked together

to open the writer's safe.

The man with a pig face mask released me.

I don't know much

about the Engineer.

[Xu Wei] I didn't know him in the past.

Well?

The terminal on the other end

has a CMK that is above our clearance.

I...

I might not make it in time.

You can't make it in time?

I don't mind.

But perhaps

this has something to say about it.

[Safe and jewelry]

[Xuri Jewelry]

(Your logic was clear)

(when you analyzed)

(the writer's case.)

You are smart.

If you were the thief,

who would be your target?

[Xuri Jewelry]

Xu Wei.

Male, 31 years old.

He graduated from the Qingcheng University of Technology.

He works as

a software architect for a company.

[Xu Wei] He's the Engineer

Shi Lei mentioned.

What about his family?

Any new leads?

Xu Wei's wife filed a missing person report

at Shangcheng Street

Police Station.

According to his wife,

he left Qingcheng a week ago

for a business trip.

At first,

he called every day

to tell the family he was fine.

But for the past few days,

he never even

sent a message.

Understood.

Did you take a good look?

Xu Wei and Shi Lei

basically had

the same treatment

and circumstances.

The mastermind

picked these two

because

they are both

experts in their respective fields.

The mastermind blackmailed

and forced them

into doing his bidding

and become his accomplices.

Make way.

Move it here.

Here are the files.

This is a list of clients

provided by Qing'an.

The files are on the desk.

There are 28 companies,

which include

jewelry dealers,

finance companies, and foreign traders.

They deal with

cash and precious metals.

Earlier today,

our field officers

visited all

of the companies.

There were too many of them.

They couldn't conduct

a specific investigation.

We barely

have anything to follow on.

How is the tracing

of the attack path?

The technicians from Qing'an

are working on it.

They say they need

support from the telcos.

I dispatched our men

for the coordination.

I need a countdown.

How long until

the system

is fully upgraded?

Less than two hours.

[Security System]

Finish the endgame.

Whether it's the deployment,

middle game, endgame,

or any phase of the game,

if you pay attention

and predict

the opponent's moves,

you can find a way

to solve the game.

[Xuri Jewelry]

[Xuri Jewelry]

We'll check them one by one.

We'll start

with Xuri Jewelry.

Open the dossier.

Go through it.

Xuri Jewelry,

located at the intersection

of Guangnan Street and Fenggu Street.

(There are four security guards.)

(There are two shifts.)

(The guards are always inside the shop.)

(There are eight cameras)

(with all-day surveillance.)

(It's almost without any blind spots.)

(But remember,)

(there is actually a blind spot)

(inside the shop.)

(It's the vent on the rear wall.)

Our colleagues

checked the place.

Officers,

we have security cameras.

Our security is fine.

Over here.

(The size of this air vent)

(is 40 cm by 40 cm.)

(If the thieves)

(are targeting this shop,)

(they may enter the interior)

(of the shop)

after going through

the air vent

and steal from the shop.

However,

the shop

is recently installed

with automated IR sensors.

They are activated when the shop closes.

(The alarm will be triggered)

(when there is an intruder.)

(The closest police station)

(is only 500 meters away from the shop.)

(It's just around the corner.)

(There are three police cars that pass on patrol every day.)

(They pass by the entrance.)

(Therefore...)

[Xuri Jewelry Security Detail]

[Fuxinyuan Jadeite]

(I think we can remove this Fuxinyuan Jadeite workshop)

(from our list.)

There is nothing valuable.

Wait.

The way I see it,

this shop

is on the ground floor.

It has no security guards.

It's in a residential area

with no police station.

It's an easy target.

What could

this rundown shop

possibly have?

Not really.

Quality jadeite is expensive.

Some come with astronomical price tags.

This

is a little far-fetched.

Stop fighting.

This shop

did purchase Qing'an's system.

(But instead of a security system,)

(it's actually)

(an omnidirectional surveillance system.)

(This system is used)

to show the customers

the process

of gemstone refining.

I asked

our field officer.

(The people living there)

(are all friends)

(of the owner.)

(Even the staff lives in the area.)

Lunchtime!

(You said)

(it didn't have security guards,)

(But all the neighbors)

(and workers)

(are guarding the place.)

(Unity among the people)

(can be more reliable)

(than technology.)

So?

I suggest we skip it.

Next!

[Chenhua Trading]

What is it?

What's wrong with you?

You are taking too long

in there.

Stomachache.

This is a little

[Chenhua Trading] too serious.

Are you

on a stomachache Marathon or what?

Stop ranting.

I'm almost done.

I'm not ranting.

Pick up the pace.

[Shunxing Pawnshop]

[Xiangyun]

[Yingxing Accounting Service, Inc.]

Next.

And Depu Capital too.

Based on the file,

they invested in many projects

every year.

It's a few hundred million in total.

It's a VIP client of Qing'an.

This is more likely the target.

Do not be fooled

[Depu Capital] by the name.

They may be capitalist,

the money is only in the account,

and there is no cash in the shop.

Even the thieves

know as much.

Understood.

Captain Luo.

Ma.

Look.

Qing'an got a general idea

of the hackers' points of attack.

Shuikumen,

Haihua Street, and Qingyun Pier.

It's within this triangle.

[People's Republic Of China, Police]

Can you narrow it down?

Yes.

We will need

analyzers installed

in the server room

for detection.

Understood.

Well...

Dazhi.

Help Ma with this task.

But...

We must

find Xu Wei.

What do we do with him?

Arrest him.

Take some men with you.

Okay.

Wait.

We're not done here.

There are only two shops left.

You are no longer needed here. Go on.

-Okay. -Go.

Ma. Let's go.

Hurry.

Stay safe.

Captain Luo.

Qing'an has almost

completed the upgrade.

[Updating]

[Qing'an Group]

Is it done?

I need more time.

They are too fast.

I need more time.

There is plenty of time.

But you

are running out of time.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

No!

Five.

No!

No!

Four.

Three.

No!

No!

Two.

One.

[Upgrade Completed]

Great!

Wonderful!

Great.

Captain Luo.

Don't worry.

The upgrade has been completed.

Well done.

[Xu Wei]

We did some

follow-ups and interviews

with some likely targets.

But

we've learned nothing new.

Well,

let's keep each other

posted.

It was from Sun Tongfang.

The upgrade

has been completed.

Does it mean

the stolen terminal didn't work?

Yes.

It's finally over.

Investigating the companies

is so exhausting.

Qing'an has completed its task.

Our job isn't over yet.

It didn't...

It didn't blow up.

I'm alive!

They managed

to rebuild the firewall

in such a short time.

That... That was too close.

Well done.

You do not disappoint.

You were faster.

It's done.

It's done.

Captain Luo.

Even now,

there is no way to confirm

if the Engineer

cracked the system in time.

Only two shops left.

[Baoyun Jewlery] [Longhu Department Store]

If it were you,

which would you choose?

[Fuxinyuan Jadeite, Chenhua Trading, Depu Capital, Wanfu Pawnshop, etc.]
