"Memory of an Elephant" by Fang Wu

[Wacko At Law]

(Previous Episode Review) - Who are you? Why are you following Mai Da Qi? - Calm down!

- Let go of me! - Shut up!

Dad, get up. [Heaven must pay]

Did I tell him thank you?

ZiXuan is willing to be a witness.

Cai YunFang auditioned 13 years ago as well.

How can she still be where she is even after hitting Director Dong?

Who doesn't have a past? Who is the victim and who is the victimizer?

You are Xiao Mi.

I really miss you.

Don't go to far or you'll hurt yourself.

No need to look further. Go to Madam Liu directly.

[Episode 4]

Subtitles and Timing brought to you by the ⚖️Ace Attorney Team⚖️ @Viki.com

Madam, your courier.

Mrs. Liu.

Mai Da Qi. Get him out.

You must take a look at this.

And, better for her not to be here.

This is related to your husband.

I put in a lot of effort into planning the auditions.

I just want to develop new talents for the film and television industry.

Give opportunities to the younger generation of actors.

I never thought we'd pick someone so ill-mannered.

Not only does isn't she self-examining herself, she's suing me.

I'm...distressed. Truly distressed.

What a hypocrite.

Your honor, Mrs. Lai Wenfang is already exhausted from this lawsuit.

The plaintiff, Zhao WanTing's allegations are just a he-said-she-said matter.

Not only are there no witnesses, but they also don't have any substantial evidence.

To prevent further damage to my client,

I advise your honor to do justice to my client with haste.

I've said before

if the plaintiff cannot provide substantial evidence,

then this lawsuit could've ended long ago.

Lawyer Mai and Lawyer Bai, you must persuade me with evidence today.

Indeed, if we drag this on any longer, it'd be a waste of time.

During all this time, how much secrets will there be?

The secret I'm about to tell has been around for 25 years.

A 13-year-old girl, who lost her parents in a car accident, was raised by her grandma who made a living collecting seafood.

Ten years later, the girl is now 23 years old.

The grandma suddenly had a stroke and became a vegetable. In order to afford her nursing home,

she started to work part-time, set up street stalls just like Zhang WanTing.

Mrs. Lai, is that girl you?

Is she you?

Your honor, these past occurrences that Lawyer Mai said has nothing to do with this case.

Your honor, I can prove that this is relevant to the case.

Then quickly prove it. Please continue.

It's fine if Mrs. Lai does not want to respond.

Anyway, a boy from the neighborhood

often tagged along with that girl who collected seafood with her grandmother.

Many years later, he became your assistant. His name is Luo You Hui right?

I don't understand why you're asking these irrelevant questions.

18 years ago, there another girl at age 17.

Her mother disappeared.

Ever since childhood, she had to pick up trash and push around a cart with her father.

She lived a tough life until one day, her father was falsely accused for murder.

Although he was proven innocent, her father took his own life.

Dad, dad?

Miss Zhang Wan Ting, the girl who picked up trash with her father. That was you, wasn't it?

18 years later, you took first place at the audition.

Mrs. Lai delivered the million dollar award personally.

Let's welcome Huaya Entertainment's manager

to hand over this million dollar award.

Please general manager

[First Prize Talent Show - NT$1,000,000]

Life is strange. Two girls who don't know each other.

One collecting seaweed with her grandmother. The other picking up trash with her father.

Many years later, their paths actually cross in Taipei.

This one will make you look skinny.

These hairties are new too. It's on sale right now.

You can pair it with this. The weather is getting chilly. And this is fashionable too.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. I have to go.

Both of you came from the bottom. You both worked hard and lived a similar life.

Supposedly, you should understand each other the most. But somehow, both of you became enemies.

There must be a reason.

[Contract award - NT$800,000]

Mrs. Lai, is this you?

[Presiding Judge]

[Plaintiff]

13 years ago, you attended an audition to be the female lead of a movie.

Just like Zhang Wan Ting [13 years ago, audition first place - Lai Wen Fang]

The contract award then was $800,000. You were elated.

You thought your life will finally take a turn for the better.

But who knew, two days after that audition ended, an accident occurred.

Your honor, Lawyer Mai's questions have nothing to do with the case.

I haven't even finished saying it. How can you tell it's irrelevant?

He violated my client's privacy.

You purposely revealed by client's past as well.

Ok, I take that back. But I must reveal the accident that occurred 13 years ago.

It has to do with today's case.

- Please continue. - Your honor.

Lawyer Wu, please take a seat.

Lawyer Mai, please watch what you say.

I know there's an instigator who's revealed the plaintiff's past.

Even if the information was given by the defendant.

I will not allow a case presided by me to have an eye-for-eye type of vengeful behavior.

I will also not allow you chasing matters not relevant to the case.

Thank you for the reminder your honor, but I will never do such a thing.

Mrs. Lai, you may return to your seat now.

[Presiding Judge]

[Defendant]

On the second day since the audition ended,

a violent encounter occurred near the hotel.

Who was attacked? Who was the attacker? We interviewed two retired workers from the hotel.

This is their evidence.

Do you still remember the name of the attacker?

- It was an Assistant Luo. - Who's assistant?

It's Director Lai's assistant. Assistant Luo.

- It was Assistant Luo indeed. - Who did he hit?

Our hotel's Director Cai.

- Do you mean Director Cai Bai Xi? - Yes.

That day, Director Cai was really pityful.

He even broke his leg!

May I please ask you, Director Cai, has your leg healed completely?

It healed ages ago, but...that was just a situation of misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding...?

So it's a misunderstanding. Is that why you decided not to sue Luo You Hui?

Yeah... Yes.

Then, can you please tell us what exactly was the misunderstanding about?

It's been so long since it has pasted...

I can't even remember clearly.

Then let me remind you.

This police report clearly states what happened in that violent incident.

Your honor, you have a copy of it.

When speaking with the police, Luo You Hui said the reason why he attacked Cai Bai Xi.

Was to teach Cai Bai Xi a lesson as he was bullying Lai Wen Fang.

Then may I ask what does it mean to 'bully'?

- I-I-I.... - Oh!

You don't need to reply. It's already written clearly in here.

[Q: How did he bully Lai Wen Fang?] [A: He was violent to her.] [Q: Did Lai Wen Fang make a police report?] [A: No.]

Director Cai, you may go back to your seat.

Because this involves Mrs. Lai Wen Fang's privacy, I cannot reveal it.

Luo You Hui sees Lai Wen Fang as his sister.

It's expected for a brother to do something if his sister being bullied.

The question is, why didn't Director Cai sue Luo You Hui ?

The real reason... only Director Cai and the people there would know.

I won't presume what they'll say so I can only guess.

13 years ago, 6 months after the audition activity...

Ms Lai became the General Manager of Huaya Entertainment Group till present.

But the General Manger then was Cai Bai Xi.

What was the agreement between Cai Bai Xi and Ms Lai? I can't presume.

I do know that when Grandma Lai got sick...

You paid for the care of Grandma Lai at her nursing home.

Currently, the cost of grandma's private room is NT$1,200,000.

You are very obedient and filial.

But the question is, you were bullied.

If you were bullied, couldn't Zhang Wan Ting be bullied as well?

If you were filial then why should Zhang Wan Ting deserve what she gets?

This is a separate matter. I object to your unreasonable and unrelated argument. This—

It's related.

I am asserting that the previous victim is now the perpetrator and that is the first offence.

Your Honor, please allow me me to call my next witness.

Miss Lin Zi Juan. She's waiting outside.

What's happening? Wasn't she already bought over by the opponent?

Pardon me. I've arrived late.

This women is really something. She's at court wearing something like that.

[Lin ZiJuan appear in court to testify]

Presiding judge, I have a USB flash drive here.

The files inside were given to me by Director Cai Bo Xi.

I didn't steal them.

Director Cai, you're so bad.

Let me tell you, as long as you join our get-togethers,

I'll give you anything you want.

Okay. Then you have to send me the recordings.

Otherwise, how am I supposed to learn from your ways?

That's no problem. Okay!

Thank you Director Cai.

-Click 'confirm.' -Okay.

-I got it! -Okay?

Thank you Director Cai.

Director Cai, let's drink.

Okay, let's drink.

Here, cheers.

May I ask Miss Lin Zi Juan, what are those files?

You really want to know?

Not only do I want to know, everyone here also wants to know.

These are...

These are sexual selfies from

three, four, five, six-somes.

Not only is Director Cai in them, so are Director Liu and Director Huang.

Do you want to know more details?

No need. Thank you.

Lin Zi Juan,

-the files you just gave the interpreter are files of the three, four, five, six-somes? -Yes.

No no no. There's one file that's an exception.

Its filename is 'mov0920.'

The handsome guy who can translate,

don't play the wrong one. Otherwise it'll be really embarrassing.

Can you please respect others?

If I say I don't want to drink, then I don't want to drink.

Okay. Then we won't drink anymore.

Why don't we just directly go to the room?

What are you doing?!

Director Huang, I'm so sorry! I apologize.

Oh my goodness.

Director Huang, I'm so sorry. I'll take care of this. I'm sorry.

Director Huang has a strange obsession.

If you like to have affairs, then have them. Why leave evidence?

You record this and you record that. Now you're in trouble, right?

Director Cai, you've met a lot of women.

But you'll never understand a woman's heart.

If I want a gold and silver mountain,

why would I willingly be a mistress?

Since I've come to you, then the opponent will also come to you.

So what?

So if the other party asks you to help, then agree. Director Cai clearly doesn't want to divorce, but he lied to you that he did.

Maybe I can help with whatever you want to do.

He told me that he had a bad relationship with his wife and that he wanted to divorce her.

That's why I agreed to be with him. So he slept with me first.

But in reality, he wanted to lie to me forever.

I've not reconciled with this. For horrible men who think they can buy whomever they want just because they have money,

I want them to get their retribution.

Deal.

Thank you, Miss Lin.

No problem.

It's now very clear what the facts are.

Ms. Lai, I could've continued to dig into your scar,

to attack you. But this is not the justice I want.

A prior victim is now the one causing harm. How could you bear to do this?

Where did the girl who used to pick seaweed with her grandmother go?

Send my regards to her. I know she's still there.

Just like the girl who used to collect scraps with her father,

she's always been there.

Presiding judge, please allow me to summon the next witness,

Liu Yan Chang's wife,

Ms. Wu Zheng Hui.

Invite her in.

Didn't you say she refused to appear in court?

Thank you Mrs. Liu for agreeing to appear in court.

Madam, your package is here.

Mrs. Liu.

Mai Da Qi? Tell him to get out.

You need to see this.

And it's best if she isn't present.

This is related to your husband.

You leave first. And close the door behind you.

Come take a picture. Come! Give me a hug, give me a hug.

-I don't want a hug! -Stop running. Come, come!

Stop running!

-No! -Come!

-I don't want to play with you guys. -Come!

-No! -We haven't taken a picture yet!

Go away.

Director Liu, Director Cai, Director Huang, and He Yi Chun. That's called a four-some.

Mrs. Liu, your husband is already so ridiculous. You can't be more ridiculous than him.

Your true enemy is not Zhang Wan Ting, but instead are He Yi Chun, recorded here, and Lai Wen Fang.

Are you blackmailing me?

I just want you to understand the truth.

Time is of the essence. Please get to the point.

Then Mrs. Liu, please tell us what happened exactly on October 7th.

That day, how did you end up at Nandou Hotel, and how did you end up in a conflict with Zhang Wan Ting?

Mrs. Liu, didn't you accuse Zhang Wan Ting of entering your husband's room and seducing him?

Later, I realized that Miss Zhang just entered the wrong room.

She wasn't trying to seduce my husband. This was just a misunderstanding.

Mrs. Liu, I already knew that Miss Zhang entered the wrong room.

But how did she get the room card? There's only two options.

Number one: she used a false reason to obtain the card.

Number two: someone planned to give it to her.

Which one is it?

Didn't I already say this?

This is all a misunderstanding. There's no use in pursuing this.

Why don't we do this? Miss Lai and Miss Zhang should reconcile with each other.

Let's see how much compensation she wants, and I can help pay for it.

As for the movie, we should continue to film it. Does this sound okay?

Quiet, quiet.

Ms. Liu, you are the witness, and I am the judge.

I am the who decides the verdict, not you.

Your duty right now is to truthfully answer Lawyer Mai's questions. Do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Lawyer Mai, please continue.

The lawsuit has come to this stage now. Even if they reconciled,

we still need to return the innocence to a party.

What exactly are you trying to do?

I've already agreed to cooperate with you. What are you trying to do?

It's easy, as long as you're willing to tell the truth.

That day Zhang Wan Ting was set up. Who's intention was this?

Director Liu is the movie's largest investor and has always hid his love affairs from his wife.

Then reasonably, General Manager Lai would not be the one to report this, nor would He Yi Chun.

They would not have the courage.

Then how did Mrs. Liu know that Zhang Wan Ting was in Director Liu's room?

Who wanted to set her up?

You seem to already know the answer.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

Then how did Mrs. Liu know that Zhang Wan Ting was in Director Liu's room?

Who wanted to set her up?

You seem to already know the answer.

My assistant purposely went to Nandou Hotel to ask about some secrets.

That day, I saw Director Liu's wife and General Manager Lai

sitting in that spot.

Mrs. Liu appeared to be throwing a temper. She was talking pretty loudly.

Then can you tell me why Mrs. Liu was throwing a temper?

Mrs. Liu, they were doing publicity. Why did you go with them?

And how did you get into a conflict with Lai Wen Fang?

You don't want to say? Don't tell me I should say it?

Do you know...

how hard it is to protect this family?

A lot of times you have to feign ignorance.

Even if someone...if his heart is no longer in this family.

You still have to close one eye, keep one eye open and pretend that you can't see anything.

But now...

I'm at the end of my patience.

That day, Lai Wen Fang wouldn't tell me anything.

I'm very angry.

If you don't tell me the truth,

then I won't allow my husband to invest in your movie again.

Let me ask you again,

is the first place winner reserved for my husband?

That's why Zhang Wan Ting is reserved for my husband.

Say something!

Yes, originally. But Zhang Wan Ting wouldn't cooperate.

That's why everything afterwards turned out to be very ugly.

What you mean is Zhang Wan Ting didn't want to follow your rules?

How are you planning to deal with this?

I won't be the one dealing with this.

Usually Director Liu, Cai, and Huang will take of it themselves.

Pouring wine. They will try until they succeed.

Until they succeed? What do you mean?

For sex.

They will become their woman.

So one day Zhang Wan Ting will become my husband's woman.

Say something.

Is Zhang Wan Ting here yet?

Not yet. She's still on the way.

Where's my husband?

After Director Liu checked-in, he went out for dinner with Director Huang and Cai.

Give my husband's room card to Zhang Wan Ting.

But don't let her know.

Later on, Lai Wen Feng told He Yi Chun to take me to that room.

He Yi Chun should be very happy.

She obtained the female lead without even doing anything.

Why are you in my husband's room?

Everyone knows what happened later on.

I won't say more.

So you guys told Lai Wen Fang to give Zhang Wan Ting Director Liu's room card,

but Zhang Wan Ting didn't know that was Director Liu's room at all.

That's correct. Instead of having my husband do anything,

I might as well act first and handle the matter.

I guess you had such a motive.

[crossed out: testify, wrote: intentional]

I'd like to make a public apology to Ms Zhang Wan Ting.

I'm sorry.

If you don't accept my apology,

it's perfectly fine.

If you choose to hate me, that will be fine too.

Liu Yan Cheng.

The person that I hate the most is actually you.

But I've already thought about it clearly.

I don't plan to keep lying to myself.

You wish to divorce me?

In this world, that is such a hateful thing to do.

Wife!

You couldn't even guard Mrs. Liu properly.

You're the one who lost this case, not me.

That group of people are the guilty ones.

Some of the girls in the videos taken by Director Cai were from the audition activities.

Whether they did it voluntarily or were coerced...

Whether Lai Wen Fang was in the wrong is not the key point of this case.

Lawyer Wu once inferred that Zhang Wan Ting was a hunter, but he's mistaken.

The real hunters are you bunch of people.

13 years, Lai Wen Fang was the victim but the harm to her instead caused her to became the perpetrator herself.

But the true wrongdoers are you people, who are abusing the loopholes in the entertainment industry.

If i don't expose you today, and just punish Lai Wen Fang...

In the future, there will be a second... a third Lai Wen Fang.

In the future, there will be more women who are harmed.

The defendant's laughable story of going into the wrong room is at the end.

I must implore you, Your Honor.

Please make a quick verdict and exonerate my client.

I'm the hero, okay?!

Bai Chong Guang still sleeping? Quick pour the red wine. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

I know! You're always bickering...

- Cheers! - Congratulations, Wan Ting!

Congratulations for winning this case.

I should thank you guys. You guys are my heroes.

But it's such a shame that Lawyer Mai couldn't come.

It's all his fault. He wouldn't budge. Says he's got to exercise. I don't understand.

I also don't understand him.

Why is he into such a dangerous extreme sport? One mistake and he'll...

Tell you. Next time you see him, remind him...

Now is not like before. It's not just by himself.

What do you mean not by himself?

This latest case has gotten a lot of publicity.

And we were able to scrape out a victory.

Now everyone is associating me with Mai Da Qi.

But if he doesn't join our law firm...

It'll be hard to get cases in the future.

This fella doesn't have the luck.

He doesn't get to drink this special wine choosen by me.

Could this be fake wine? Oh my!

What fake? Even though I'm a bit on the thrifty side...

I usually buy wines for NT$290. This wine today...

- NT$399! - Er.

Also think about it. You've got some glory as well winning this case.

I reckon it's Mai Da Qi's glory right?

No. No. No. You're totally mistaken.

Ms Zhang came to find me because of Zhenlu Law Firm.

She only got to meet Mai Da Qi after finding me.

Mai Da Qi only got to work the case after she found him.

He wouldn't have won if he didn't work the case.

There would not be our celebration event if he didn't win. Who organized the event?

That's me. Look. It's come full circle.

It's all because of me right?

You reckon? I'll tell you the truth today. Do you know why Zhang Wan Ting came to us?

You.

How do you know?

It's so simple.

You believe Ms Zhang just because she was being polite?

Previously, it was because Teacher Tian helped her father.

So she knows it's a real law firm.

Is that right?

Saying it like that is... not not correct.

Can't say not correct. Only that it's right!

Get it? Tian Yu Xin!

Stupid. Eh.

[Samsung] Right. Right. Right. Right.

You're the most correct person in the whole world! He's so full of himself.

Don't even give me a chance to shine.

Tian Yu Xin.

The truth is I did come because of you.

Cheers!

Lawyer Bai Chong Guang, what are you doing?

You're feeling guilty and repenting?

What do you mean?

Lawyer Mai Da Qi was looking at these leaves the other day

and it seems he came up with a reasoning.

He said something like the leaf's veins

is like um...blood veins or something.

And... will create...

It will create jams like on the highway...

I don't really know. Weren't you here with him? What did he say?

I don't remember, but I think it was like a poem.

Leaf veins, the blood veins of leaves.

Like a map congested with highways.

Law isn't always justice, just like a constricted leaf vein.

But nature always has its way to revive the tree.

Justice, the truth, and torrents

cannot be stopped by anyone. Is that right?

That's right.

But why does it seem like you said more than him?

My dad wrote it.

Your dad wrote it? Where?

In his notebook. It's stored in his desk.

Which one? I-I haven't seen before.

Since I haven't seen it, how could Mai Da Qi have seen it?

And how did he memorize it so well?

I can deduct one thing from this.

Mai Da Qi is not a genius.

The real genius is Teacher Tian.

Yu Xin.

Why do you think Mai Da Qi has seen your father's notebook?

I don't know.

That's strange.

These are the truth, but...

How would he have known?

That's weird.

What?

What?

C-Could he be gay?

Stop saying nonsense. What do you mean?

It's fine.

Gay...

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

No one can touch Brother Da Qi,

unless I fall first.

Did Lai Wen Fang tell you to come?

She wants me to tell you thank you.

Sister, what should we do with Mai Da Qi?

You still want to handle him?

Even if you killed him, you wouldn't be able to protect me.

It's too late for me to turn back now.

But Mai Da Qi woke me up

He made me realize how absurd my life has been.

I was surprised to hear what he said at court.

He could've pressed on, but he stopped.

I've never seen a lawyer like that.

Find him then.

Tell him that I said thanks.

Tell her then that I said you're welcome.

I want to ask how you knew about our past from then?

It's not hard to find yours and Manager Lai's childhood home.

Your neighbors knew everything about your past.

This island is big, but not big enough.

Even a secret can't be hidden.

♫ I still remember yesterday's journey ♫

You've always loved her, right?

♫ When I sing this song, you will already understand ♫

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I've long forgotten how to protect you ♫

♫ I will be responsible for your tomorrow ♫

♫ In order to prove the depth of my love ♫

Sometimes, there's no need to say anything.

That's called "love."

Let's go! Let's go relax somewhere

to celebrate, yeah?

Are you joking? Who can stand being around you?

What?

Sometimes, there's no need to do anything, and that's called being thankful.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Thank you guys.

He's a good uber.

Zi Juan, I'm sorry. I was mistaken about you.

Don't say that.

What about Lawyer Bai?

Do you still think that... I would sell someone out?

T-This...

What? Are you afraid to say it?

Are you scared of hurting me?

N-No, it's not like that.

I have harmed many people,

but I have never harmed women.

And you are too soft.

You're so soft that I'm unwilling to harm you.

- Bye. - Bye bye.

Bye, Zi Juan!

Directior Lai of Huaya Entertainment, who hosted the audition,

held a press conference this morning to offer a public apology to Zhang WanTing.

From what we know, Zhang WanTing has decied to drop the lawsuit too.

I wanted to apologize to you personally.

But I think that you wouldn't listen no matter how many times I said it.

So it's faster if I just give you money.

I don't need your money.

It's not my money. It's from Director Liu, Cai, and Huang.

They deserved it anyway.

$2 million. I've already wired it to Bai CongGuang.

He said that you wanted to open up a small cafe shop.

Since Huayu Entertainment disbanded, I don't have a job anymore.

It seems like I can also go open up a cafe shop.

Otherwise I would be like you,

setting up street stalls and being chased by cops.

I'll see you later.

♫ This time I will really let go, oh, oh ♫

♫ It's time to let you go, oh , oh, oh ♫

won the lawsuit on behalf of the victim's family

with a compensation as high as USD$15 million.

Four years later, Mai DaQi wins another lawsuit.

Everyone is curious of the amount of compensation Zhang WanTing has won.

You're talking about Lawyer Mai?

I'm sorry, we can't seem to contact him at the moment.

H-How about this, why don't you leave your number?

S-Sorry, please wait a moment.

money will not be a problem.

I want Lawyer Mai to catch that mistress

and destroy those two trash of a human being.

He took the blame for murder that I commmitted.

So lawyer, how much money will it take to save his life?

Actually, Lawyer Mai is very busy these days.

I can also handle this case.

You? I mean sure, that's fine too.

No wonder you're the boss.

I have something up my sleeve too.

If you win, then it's this briefcase.

If you lose, then it's that briefcase.

Lawyer Mai, where are you?

You won't pick up your phone and you won't respond to text messages either.

Do you know that the entire world is looking for you? Every client is asking for you and not Lawyer Bai.

Lawyer Bai kept bugging me last night to be your agent.

Now, he's saying he wants to be a leech.

But you know he's bad at putting up an act.

He's nothing like a leech. More like a maggot at a night market.

In any case, please call me back when you get this voice mail.

Also, my mom said she wants to try a new recipe for

drunken chicken for you to taste. That's all. (T/N: drunken chicken is a dish)

Bye bye.

Hello?

You mentioned a new recipe?

- Drunken chicken. - Did you call to ask me about that?

Did your mom mention what she's adding... is it fennel?

Hey, our hands are so tired from getting so many phone calls, what nonsense are you spouting about fennel? What the-

Watch your words.

Let me ask you this: did you know my father?

Hello? Are you listening?

Hey! Tian-

Lawyer Mai! How're you doing, it's me, Chong Guang!

There's something I'd like to discuss with you.

Even though it's a little unfair to me, I hope

you can be my business partner.

Sorry, I'm not interested.

N-not... n-never mind,

give me your contact at the very least.

So I don't have to get to you through Tian Yu Xin!

Let me tell you, I have only one way of communicating: through Tian Yu Xin. Bye!

He thinks he's such a big deal!

- You're so rude! - Rude? Hey, compared to Mai,

I deserve a Nobel Etiquette Prize!

What are you talking about?

He told me he'll only communicate through Tian Yu Xin!

The deceased is named You Zheng Feng,

aged 56 years old. She discovered the body.

He's in a family of four. During the incident, his wife, son and daughter weren't at home.

His son is a wanted criminal.

Sir.

Looks like he fell down the stairs.

He reeks of alcohol.

Mrs. You, where were you during the time of the murder?

I was shopping at the market. My neighbor called me.

What about you, You Meng Hai?

I was out having a meal with friends.

Did Mr. You have a habit of drinking?

Lately, his work wasn't going smoothly,

so he drank more than usual.

Has You Zheng Feng made any enemies?

[Yi Cha Yi Lou (tea shop)]

Could someone have murdered him?

He has many friends, so I don't think so.

So you think Mr. You drank too much at home and fell down the stairs?

I told him not to drink so much but he wouldn't listen.

Sir.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

The cause of death is a fracture of the cervical spine (neck), leading to asphyxiation.

Look here.

There's a dent in this area that doesn't match the kind of injuries from a fall.

This baseball bat is too clean and spotless. It might have been cleaned before.

But at this spot, we found traces of blood.

What about fingerprints?

No fingerprints. Let's take a look at these photos.

This is the fracture found on the bat.

When the victim fell, he hit his head on that spot.

- Is that his first point of impact while falling? - Yes.

There shouldn't be such a big splat of blood.

Unless... he was already injured and bleeding.

And that's why there was so much blood on the wall.

So this isn't an accident.

He was injured and bleeding,

and then pushed down the stairs.

- Should I place it here? - Yes.

- How does it look? - I think it's great!

Ok, please place it there first.

What about the other pot?

That's right, that's right.

- Put it inside... no, that won't do. - Thank you!

Let's take pictures! Let's take pictures!

- Did you take it? Let me see. - Let me take it for you.

[Bee Cafe]

Wow. Are these artifacts?

I think they're super pretty.

You're so right.

I'm so happy.

Now that I've got this store, I won't have to work for anyone ever again!

I'm so jealous that you get to be your own boss.

I have to thank you guys for winning the case for me.

Are you hiring? Why not let me work here?

Yes, yes, yes.

I'm looking for someone to drink coffee with me every day.

Thank you

for your help today.

Everyone who's calling our law firm is looking for Mai Da Qi

and he's not taking on any cases. I'm not needed there anyway.

But I realised that your spot here is perfect for afternoon naps!

I think I'll just drop by after lunch every day for a quick nap!

And I'll prepare a bed for you at the back.

Good, place it there. I've been eyeing that spot.

Place it there.

Ok.

Thanks.

What are you doing here?

It's just a small gesture. Congratulations on your new store.

Thank you.

Ms. Zhang, may I call you Wan Ting?

No, you can't.

Great Lawyer Wu, for what reason are you gracing us with your presence?

I love drinking coffee, so of course I'm going to support your new cafe.

I hope we can let bygones be bygones.

Can we be friends?

You've tried to destroy her, and now you want to be friends? What's going on?

No, you can't.

The lawsuit was work and not personal. My support here proves that.

May I order a cup of coffee?

Let me serve him.

What would you like to have?

What's today's special?

It's not roasted yet.

I'll have some Yirgacheffe washed coffee-

It's sold out.

Didn't you just open for the day?

Lawyer Wu, are you questioning me?

Ok, I'll have a rose tea then.

The rose hasn't bloomed yet.

Why don't you recommend me something? I'll drink what you recommend.

Great.

Honey Cafe's special for today is tap water. Great for curing your poison and cooling me down. How's that?

Ok, tap water it is then.

Please wait a moment.

Will Mai Da Qi be here?

His phone is-

how is that your business?

This is on me.

- Thanks. - Get lost once you're done.

Did you know what Mai Da Qi used to love crowds?

But these years after his girlfriend left, he's become very withdrawn.

People shouldn't dwell too long in their past.

But I really want to ask if he wants me to recommend some doctors for him.

If you're sick, then you should go see a doctor.

- Get out. - What are you doing?!

Get out!

Can you take care of her? She's being overly cruel.

Lawyer Wu, Yu Xin is my sister.

This is my shop.

I think I only welcome true friends here.

Your shirt is wet. Why don't you go home to change.

Are you leaving or not? Get out!

How dare you treat your customers like this?

The door is over there.

Be careful of catching a cold.

See a doctor? He's the one who needs to see a doctor!

We don't need to talk reason with this kind of person. They need a good beating instead!

Okay.

Okay, don't be mad anymore.

But I did see the news say that

when Lawyer Mai was about to marry Xiao Kai,

that flight accident happened.

He must be very upset over that situation.

But I think that

he is a little... strange.

Why didn't you take her here for dinner?

She's very busy lately, coming here and there.

Sometimes I don't even know when she'll appear.

Sometimes I don't know where she went, so...

Why don't you bring her next time?

Sure, if you guys are okay with it.

- Of course! It's just an extra bowl and a pair of chopsticks. - Okay!

I think... he still thinks Xiao Kai hasn't left yet.

I think that sounds quite romantic.

Really, it's very unique.

Unique?

That's right. Every time you see him, you'll find something new.

Like, at first I found him to be very arrogant.

But he's already apologized to me.

but he's actually very faithful.

He really is quite different.

Yeah.

Hey! Hey!

Sir, force them to the side.

When Mr. Liu's accident happened, was Mrs. Liu not home?

I was out buying groceries.

If I had stayed home, this accident wouldn't have happened.

Were you not home either?

I went to eat dinner with my boyfriend.

A neighbor said that they heard you arguing with your father.

What's going on?

That... that must be because before I left,

my dad drank a little alcohol, so he was talking loudly.

That's why I started talking a little loudly too.

But before I left, he was fine.

Was anyone else there when you were arguing with your dad?

No.

Three neighbors living here,

there, and downstairs, all said that

they heard the voices of three people arguing.

There's no way.

Only my dad and I were home.

Besides your father and another man's voice... Liu Meng Han, don't lie.

Meng Han, what's going on?

Those neighbors are saying that it was your brother, Liu Shi Hai.

Is it him?

No. No, it's not my brother.

If it's not him, then who is it?

The sir living on the first floor said that he saw your brother come home.

Investigator, what are you trying to say?

Mrs. Liu, your husband's death is not an accident.

Do you understand that?

He was harmed physically and then pushed off the stairs.

I suspect that your daughter is lying.

I just want to know if the culprit is your son.

Liu Meng Han, let me ask you again.

Was your brother Liu Shi Hai there that day?

H-He... that day my brother did come.

But he stayed very briefly and then left.

He was not even there when I argued with my dad.

I know you're lying.

That's okay.

He's your own brother. It's normal for you to lie.

However,

if I find out that you're also an accomplice,

the accomplice of someone who killed their own parents,

then your life is over.

Wait up!

Hurry, hurry!

Chase them!

Hurry!

Stop running!

Someone help us!

Stop!

- Stop running! - You go that way!

Hurry up!

Stop!

Where are they headed to?

Where are you trying to go?!

Let go of me.

I need you to cooperate with us!

You're so heavy!

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

♫ I still remember your smiling eyes ♫

He's here.

Are you Wang Ke Rong's contact person?

And his lawyer.

[Mai Da Qi]

Lawyer Mai, you're quite popular these days.

My surname is Li. Li Tian Po.

Officer Li, why is Wang Ke Rong here?

Speeding, obstructing the police, and interfering the police.

We don't, so he can leave in a bit.

Lawyer Mai, Wang Ke Rong cooperated with a Wanted person.

Wanted person?

I really didn't know Xiao You was a Wanted person.

You didn't know? Then why did you try to run away with him?

He's got another added recently. Suspected of murder.

What nonsense are you even saying? How could Xiao Dong kill someone?

If it wasn't a major event, why would so many police be after him?

Especially with the death of his father. It is highly likely that he killed his own father.

You better cooperate with the police and give a statement. I'll wait.

Sit.

Mai Da Qi? [Taipei District Prosecutors Office]

That's right.

Who knew this kind of hooligan can have that kind of lawyer friend.

He's a legend in the lawyer profession.

He's only taken on 2 lawsuits these four years, but he's won them both brilliantly.

Before I could even scold him after taking his statement,

the lawyer took him away.

But there might be some kind of evidence on him.

That's why I told you to let him go.

There's no need to waste too much time on them.

The person we're about to meet is the key person.

They said Xiao You was the culprit. Even if they beat me to death, I still wouldn't believe it.

He seemed to be in good spirits today.

I don't think he knows his father died yet.

He doesn't live at home?

I think it's because he's afraid of living at his home.

Two years ago, his father was injured by a drunk driver.

The driver's attitude was bad too, so Xiao You landed a few blows on him.

He's very agressive.

Worse than me by 100 times.

Say already.

He kinda shoved the police.

You really need a scolding.

- We were just having fun. - Just having fun?

Lawyer Da Qi, Xiao Ya really isn't the murderer. You've met him before.

Sometimes keeping out of it is a way of showing gratitude.

So that's him.

Even though he looks like this, he's a kind person at heart.

There's no way he'd murder anyone let alone his dad.

Alright, just keep a lookout.

You might be followed by the police, so I'm going to suspend your phone for now.

- Did you hear me? - Yes.

Lawyer Mai, Xiao Ke.

You go in first.

What's the matter? Speak.

I wanted to ask if you knew my dad Tian Zhen.
