"Memory of an Elephant" by Fang Wu

[Wacko At Law]

I only have one goal, and that is to solve the cold case from last year.

What's L365?

So Mai Da Qi has a great memory, perception, and reasoning abilities.

Because I want Mai Da Qi to survive.

But what you just said was to reject me.

The one who pushed my dad down the stairs was Liao Qing Yang.

These are the new evidence we submitted.

It's obvious who the murderer is.

May I borrow this painting of the Virgin Mary to make a copy?

Ms. Zhang, I'm very sorry.

I can't return that painting to you.

There's pictures as evidence... and a loan document.

Please use the magnifying glass to read the text on the loan document or else be prepared to be sued.

Who will be suing who is still undetermined.

This painting is the first draft of the Virgin Mary

It is an authentic Da Vinci.

Da Vinci? Are you kidding?

It was completed in 1490

Only because of this first draft,

does the Virgin of the Rocks exist.

At an auction in Milan, Italy 18 years ago,

it was said that a Taiwanese businessman bought this draft.

Although the media didn't name the businessman,

but we all know it was Mo Shang De.

I'd like to ask, why is this painting that belongs to the Mo family

in Ms. Zhang's possession?

I already told you, it was a memento left to me by my father.

Whether it's an authentic Da Vinci or not, doesn't matter to me. It—

Because it is an authentic Da Vinci, is exactly why it cannot be returned to you.

Truthfully, I've already contacted the Mo family.

This painting belongs to Ms. Zhang. Please return it to her immediately.

Lawyer Wu, considering the provenance of this painting,

shouldn't we clarify the ownership?

That Ms. Zhang's father, Zhang Yong Jian,

murdered Mo Shang De, is something that everyone knows about.

I'm thinking, Zhang Yong Jian not only committed murder, he also stole this painting.

You bastard!

In short, Zhang Yong Jian, is a murdering robber.

And this painting was illegally obtained.

My dad didn't murder anyone.

The law already found him not guilty.

Letting you know, what you just said has already violated criminal law 316 for slander

and 312 for insulting and slandering the dead.

Please take back what you said to Ms. Zhang.

I said before, that I would return the painting to the rightful owner.

But the owner of this painting is the Mo family.

Thus I will only return it to the Mo family.

Now I must ask you to leave.

Xiao Qiu, please see the guests out.

This way please.

I won't leave unless you return it to me.

Lawyer Wu, persuade her.

This is my private appraisal office.

Let's leave for now.

Prepare to be sued.

Let's go.

The loan document is in your possession. He must return that painting.

I thought you believed my father to be the murderer.

I'm begging you, stop bringing up the case about the audition.

I have to use offensive and defensive tactics in court.

But I 200% respect the judgment of the court.

You change too quickly, I can't quite adjust.

You will soon get accustomed to it.

Let me take you to a real expert.

This Virigin of the Rocks is currently at The National Gallery in London.

The Virgin Mary was its first draft. The draft was its beginnings.

Whether the painting left to Miss Zhang by her father is an authentic Da Vinci

or reproduction will be hard to tell unless you can it to me to examine.

Let's say it's authentic, how would you prove the possessor is the rightful owner?

The art trade has some basic regulations.

As long as the Mo family has the title papers, then the painting belongs to them.

So if they cannot produce the document, then the painting belongs to Miss Zhang?

That's correct.

Then if it is authentic,

and the Mo family can prove it belongs to them,

then I am willing to return it.

Are you sure?

But I really hope,

that it is only a cheap reproduction.

That way no one will fight me for it.

Fine, as long as you've thought it through.

But, no matter what

that appraiser named Pan has no right to seize that painting.

Hello Mr. Pan? This is Lawyer Wu.

Tomorrow at 10:30 am, Miss Zhang and I will bring the loan document to claim that painting.

If you don't return it, I will call the police.

[Yida Art Appraisal Center]

Brother Pan, I'm going to the bank.

Miss Zhang, why did you come alone?

My lawyer will be here shortly.

As I recall, didn't Lawyer Wu take you to court?

How did you scoop him from the enemy camp to under your skirts?

What are you implying?

You know what I'm implying.

Beauty is your capital.

Even those old CEOs from the audition case couldn't get away with it.

Those that refused but secretly wanted it.

Is this called the goddess's leap?

After the suit in court, you have fame and fortune.

Two birds with one stone. Only profits with no pain.

- Let go! - You started it first.

It's not your man. It's my guest.

Hello?

I'm very sorry. The court session ran long, it just ended.

It's fine. I'm going back.

Are you all right? Your voice sounds off.

I'll tell you when I get back. That's all for now. Bye.

Hello?

[The Reception Room]

Mom!

Hello? I want to report a crime.

Someone has died here.

Can the monitor be restored?

The hard disk was already entirely removed, Prosecutor Xu.

There were no images left behind.

Prosecutor Xu, there was only one guest here today and that was Zhang Wan Ting, who reported the crime.

When she came, that assistant was just leaving for the bank.

He was not here when the incident happened.

Is anything missing?

There was supposed to be a famous painting here, but it disappeared.

Prosecutor Xu.

- Murder weapon? - Probably, but we need to compare it to the injury.

There are no fingerprints. The culprit probably wore gloves.

Judging from the rigor mortis, the time of death was about 1-2 hours ago.

I am Xu Ming Jie, the prosecutor. You are Zhang Wan Ting?

Yes.

I have read your statement.

When you left the appraisal office, he was already lying there?

Did you see the murderer?

I hear there was a famous Da Vinci painting.

You took it?

I didn't take it. Is the painting missing?

Assistant Qiu said he saw you downstairs.

At the time you were walking back to the appraisal office from the other side,

calling 911. This means that you first left here,

- and then you came back? - Yeah.

Where did you go? Why didn't you call 911 the moment you saw the crime?

I was scared to death. I didn't think too much.

But when I thought about it again, I knew that something was off.

So I came back and called 911.

When you left the appraisal office, you must of had ample time to get rid of what you were holding.

Are you suspecting that I took the painting?

I'm just asking.

The sharp weapon severed the carotid artery causing massive blood loss.

That is the main reason for the death.

Judging from the marks in the muscles around the wound,

the sharp weapon passed from left to right in one swipe.

It's an art knife, no doubt.

Here are some residues.

We can only know the results after a lab test.

You guys are just wasting your time.

I didn't even go home.

Just treat this as a formality.

The appraisal office is near your home, not more than a 5 minute walk.

If you are innocent, searching around can prove it.

Wan Ting, what happened?

Pan Yi Da is died.

Died?

They are suspecting that I am the murderer.

Prosecutor Xu, there's nothing here.

MIss Zhang, please come with me to the district prosecutor's office.

Prosecutor Xu, we've met before.

- I'm... - Lawyer Wu. I know who you are.

Then please explain why Miss Zhang has to go with you?

When the crime happened, she was there.

She also didn't report the death the moment she saw it but chose to leave the scene.

These incongruities all must be clarified.

Also, what did you talk to the deceased about?

And what connection do you have with that missing famous painting?

We need you to answer these questions.

Prosecutor Xu, you are already treating Miss Zhang as a suspect, forcing a confession.

Lawyer Wu, please watch your tone.

May I ask if you have a warrant or subpoena?

[Taipei District Court, 2019 Case No 75 Homicide case Name of Detainee: Zhang Wan Ting]

You may exercise the right to remain silent and refuse to answer any questions.

I'll go down to the station with you.

No need. Can you help me look for Mai Da Qi?

[Wu Jing Tao]

[Something happened to Wan Ting. Call me back.]

Hello?

- What happened? - Wan Ting was taken to the district prosecutor's office.

The subpoena was written for related persons, witnesses, or the accused.

Right now she's a related person, but maybe turned into the accused, who knows?

Appraiser Pan said the painting belongs to the Mo family.

That was said by one party and may not be reliable.

The whole situation is actually very simple.

Wan Ting just wanted to get back the stuff her father left her,

but who would have thought, the appraiser has been killed, the painting has disappeared, and Wan Ting has been mistaken as the culprit.

Then why didn't you go with her to the station?

I wanted to, but she asked for you.

Are you okay?

It's okay.

It's okay... It's okay.

I must first understand the details.

Sit down for now.

This is the surveillance video from the appraisal office's east side road.

Zhang Wan Ting went in from this end, but then she left and went back.

She probably took the side alley,

so she's not on camera.

But in short, when the homicide occurred, she was inside.

She admitted this herself too.

This only proves that Zhang Wan Ting visited the appraisal office.

It doesn't prove she's the culprit.

Whether Miss Zhang is the culprit is not to be decided by what you or I say.

Okay, we'll just let the evidence speak for itself then.

- Prosecutor Xu says the weapon was an art knife. Were her fingerprints on it? - No.

Then was the missing painting found at Miss Zhang's residence?

No.

Miss Zhang heard the doorbell and knew there were other visitors there.

Who was it? Did you find out?

- Not yet. - So...

Lawyer Mai, there is no need to be so aggressive.

Miss Zhang was the first one to discover the body.

I really want to know... Why Miss Zhang did not call the police immediately.

Didn't I already tell you? I was in shock.

A very good excuse. But it's not convincing.

Any person in that situation,

especially women who would experience fear and shock. It's normal.

Also, didn't she ultimately call the police?

Does Lawyer Mai think I mean to arrest her today?

Is that not the case?

As you said, the evidence is not there yet.

Prosecutor Xu, you're extra polite today.

May I take Miss Zhang and leave?

We still need Miss Zhang to cooperate with providing a sample

to conduct the biological evidence comparison and evaluation.

What biological evidence?

The deceased bled out all over the floor.

Evidence number 20191125A31

A 1.6 cm eyelash was floating in the blood.

- Floating? - That's right

Blood is thick and has a surface tension.

Since you said it was floating, it must have fallen after the blood was spilled.

If it wasn't the deceased and it wasn't Secretary Qiu's

then it must be the perpetrator's.

Wan Ting.

When you found the body, about how close were you?

2-3 meters. It can't be mine.

Then please cooperate.

Maybe this examination can prove your innocence.

Wear it.

The crisis is resolved for now, but we have to be careful.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

- I'm just borrowing it temporarily. - Don't talk so much.

- Let's talk more at the police station. - I was planning to return it today, don't bring me to the station!

I have a daughter to take care of, how can you simply arrest people like this?

I have to take care of my daughter!

Xiao Mi, your mommy's back.

Mommy!

Xiao Mi, mommy is about to tell you something that you cannot tell daddy.

So you have to tell the police that it was you who took the gas barrel.

That's the only way we can save daddy, do you understand?

Tell the police that you used that to transport the gas barrel.

Now, to move it, you'll have to roll it on the ground.

You have to roll it, just like this.

It doesn't matter, as long as you're able to roll it.

You have to apply pressure here with your hand, alright?

And then push it in like this. Good.

Lean closer. Careful of your hand.

Try it again.

Okay, it's alright.

Push. Push harder. Very good!

Mommy, daddy is back!

Don't you do such a disgraceful thing again.

Mommy!

Do you recognize that lady?

I wish I could forget her, but I can't.

So you're saying that during the crime, you were at home, Mrs. Mo?

And your stepson, Mr. Mo Ji Ping, was at a seminar?

We can provide any kind of proof that you need.

At the time, Appraiser Pan told us the painting was with him.

That's why Mo Ji Ping went to find my late husband's certificate of authenticity for the painting.

Little did we expect the appraiser to be dead before we could meet him.

We have found a person of interest.

Mrs. Mo, do you know who Zhang Wan Ting is?

She is my daughter.

How did the painting end up with Zhang Wan Ting?

Do you know?

I don't know.

Furthermore, I find that hard to believe.

Seems like both the judge and Lawyer Tian Zhen were wrong back then.

Zhang Yong Jian was indeed the murderer.

Why do you say that?

Today, we find the painting in the hands of Zhang Wan Ting. This proves that

Zhang Yong Jian didn't just take Chairman Mo Shang De's briefcase,

but also took the painting.

That painting

proves that Zhang Yong Jian committed murder.

It also proves that Zhang Wan Ting committed murder.

What do you mean?

Mrs. Mo, this must make you feel uncomfortable.

But I have to say it like it is.

Your daughter Zhang Wan Ting is the main suspect.

Hot cocoa.

That's what you need the most now. That and me, and my mom.

Come over for dinner tonight.

You can't say no, it's my mom's orders.

Let me tell you, Prosecutor Xu is really strange today.

No matter what I asked from him,

he gave it straight to me without any fuss. Look.

This is the painting's certificate of authenticity provided by the Mo family.

This proves that the painting is authentic.

It is an authentic Da Vinci painting.

18 years ago, Mo Shang De

paid US$120 million

to purchase this painting. That's in US dollars, so how much is that in Taiwan dollars?

NT$4 billion! NT$4 billion!

Holy crap.

So the appraiser was right all along?

Do you know how you got the painting?

I first saw this painting

after my father passed away.

The landlord wanted to take back the house

before I entered the orphanage.

When I was packing my suitcase,

I saw the painting.

To be honest, I couldn't bring that much stuff to the orphanage.

When I saw the painting, I thought it looked very special.

After I was in the orphanage,

it remained in that corner and was never taken out.

When I became an adult, I left the orphanage

and it followed me wherever I went.

It was only when I opened Bee Café

that I took it out.

Did your daddy not know how much the painting is worth?

Was that why he wrapped it up in a blanket?

The question is, why did it end up in Wan Ting's home?

It came with Mo Shang De's briefcase.

Back then, one of the main points of the trial

was how the briefcase ended up in the Zhang home.

Prosecutor Xu thinks Zhang Yong Jian got it through robbing and murdering.

Zhang Yong Jian said someone discarded it at his home

and that he didn't know it belonged to Mo Shang De.

After he picked up the briefcase, he opened it up.

If my guess is correct, the painting

was hidden within the briefcase.

No, no, something's not right.

Back then, when I was apprenticing with Lawyer Tian,

neither the Mo family nor the prosecutor mentioned this.

Could it be that the Mo family weren't aware that this painting existed?

That's the crux of the matter.

What's the link between the painting and the Mo family

and the murderer?

This is the safe.

It was open. It wasn't damaged at all.

But the painting was missing.

So it follows that the victim had taken the painting out himself.

So did the victim know the murderer?

So who's the murderer?

Sorry—

Do you still remember me?

Are you okay?

I heard that you caused some trouble.

I caused trouble?

I went to the district prosecutor's office.

It was you who caused trouble.

I saw you at the appraisal office.

Xiao Mi, don't misunderstand me. I'm not the murderer.

- I was just going— - You don't have to tell me.

If you have something to say, please go to the police.

And I want to remind you.

You don't have the right to call me Xiao Mi.

- Don't touch me! - Wan Ting.

What did you come here for?

Do you want to teach me how to help you lie to the police again?

Teach me how to take the blame for you?

You taught me how to move a gas cylinder when I was younger.

You told me it was for Dad's benefit.

Years later, I've now thought it through.

It was actually for your own benefit.

Because if Dad went to jail,

I would become your child from a previous marriage.

You just wanted to get rid of me.

I'm sorry.

I did that because I just got married—

You don't have to tell me this!

I don't want to hear you say anything. Get out.

Get out!

Get out!

- Wan Ting. - Don't stand here. Get out!

♫ Sacrifice stops at the wrong time ♫

♫ No matter who will look for it ♫

♫ Please let me go, oh, oh, oh ♫

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

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

♫ No more excuses, oh, oh, oh ♫

♫ I will no longer worry about this feeling, oh~ ♫

♫ I will no longer worry about this feeling, oh~ ♫

♫ Please let me go, oh, oh, oh ♫

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

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

Wan Ting, look.

Don't mind her. Since she was little, she's always had the most tricks.

She always does weird things towards Xiao Mi.

- I didn't. - You didn't?

You carried her and climbed the stairs, skipping 3 steps at a time.

You both fell on your faces!

There's more. Didn't you guys race to see who could put themselves in a suitcase?

And so you guys were able to pack yourselves in but couldn't get back out.

- That was because she asked me to go inside! - And then I forgot the passcode to the lock.

That's right! You guys really tricked me.

If I could choose my daughter, I would choose Xiao Mi, not you.

Mom, let me tell you. This has already happened, and you already had your daughter.

We can only consider you unlucky.

I... I must've owed you in my past life.

It's fine. I'm going to adopt another daughter.

Let me tell you. You can just sleep in her room tonight.

Don't be scared, I'll protect you.

I can also protect her. You can sleep in my room tonight.

And then we can talk until morning.

Okay. Thank you guys for your concern. I'm really okay.

I don't care. You have to live here. Otherwise I'll tell my mom to yell at you!

- What? - Mama Tian.

Am I this kind of mother?

- I'm getting the kitchen knife! - Mom, don't be rash!

- Are you staying? - Mama Tian.

Are you staying?

Mom, that's really scary!

Are you staying or not?

- I'll stay. - That's a good girl.

- Eat some more. Have some corn. - You're not eating?

Here.

Look, this was my dad's law code.

His handwriting is really pretty, right?

Just looking at his code, you can tell that he was this world's

most serious, most righteous lawyer.

[Leaf veins are like a map full of roads. The law isn't always justice, just like these clogged up leaf veins]

Then, what about Da Qi?

If they were in the same generation,

which lawyer would you choose?

How can you compare them?

One is my most beloved dad,

one is... a partner I admire.

A partner you admire and... someone you like?

- I do not. - Don't lie to me.

- I'm not lying. I don't! - How did you come to like him?

What do you like about him?

I don't understand what you're saying.

If you don't admit it, you'll regret it.

What do you mean?

Tell me! What do you mean?

I know a lot of girls who want to pursue Da Qi.

Who? Who? Who?!

Who?!

Just my friends from the competition.

In our group chat, if anyone brings up Da Qi,

everyone is either eager or drooling.

And all of them are hot girls.

So, if you don't make a move, then you'll...

disappear.

I don't know how to make a move.

Just confess, right?

Confess? What girl confesses to a guy?

What era are we in now that you're being so reserved?

Whatever. Your head is too hard. I don't want to talk to you anymore.

I'm going to sleep. Good night!

Mai Da Qi this weirdo.

How could there be a lot of people who like him? They must've bumped into a ghost.

Then you bumped into a ghost too.

'But I don't know how to make a move.'

You admitted it. Silly girl.

You tricked me!

Oh? I tricked you!

You've really gone too far!

Wait!

- Why are you doing this? - Hello?

I helped you guys get rid of a competitor!

Who? Tell me who it is! What place was she?

I think... I don't remember. But I remember that every one

was very tall! Much taller than you!

- You're too much! - You're still avoiding me!

Go sleep with my mom! You're so noisy!

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

Here.

Eat a piece of chicken.

- Hurry and eat. - Okay.

This loofah is very sweet. Here are some stir-fried clams.

- Okay. - Eat some more.

Okay, it's enough.

- Is it enough? - If you keep going I won't be able to finish.

Okay. Then I'll give you one last thing.

- Take your time. - Okay.

- Mama Tian, did you cook this? - Yes.

Of course.

- Is it good? - It's very delicious.

- It smells good. - Then eat more.

Okay!

Do you know why I still call you Xiao Mi?

Hurry and eat.

Back then when Papa Tian brought you home,

I decided I would treat you like my own daughter as soon as I saw you.

Because I couldn't bear to

see such a young child encounter so many things.

I was thinking,

'No, I must protect you.'

Let you eat well, sleep well and live happily.

In other's eyes,

you are a pretty Wan Ting,

a strong Wan Ting.

But in my eyes,

you will always be the Xiao Mi

who's a little shy, kind-hearted, and caring.

I heard Da Qi say that you ran into your mom at the district prosecutor's office?

She's not my mom.

I cannot understand how a mother could bear

to leave her child.

But don't worry. I can promise

that this will never happen in this house.

Even if you want to leave, I won't let you go. In fact...

I'll even call the police and ask them to help!

Do you understand?

This is your home.

If you have nothing to do, come here.

If you have problems, you should come even more frequently.

Don't worry, this will always be your home.

Treat me as your mother.

I love you.

Eat more.

[Bee Cafe]

I know you're in a bad mood,

but there are still things I need to ask.

Ask away.

I know you didn't take that painting, nor did you go home.

But I want to know why you left the appraisal office.

So I asked Xiao Ke to pull up the footage.

This is the appraisal office's west side,

100 meters from the private parking lot.

Do you want to tell me what happened?

After I had seen the corpse, I saw a woman leaving the scene.

I realized she was Mrs. Mo.

So, the reason you didn't call the police right away

is because she was the one...

I do hate her a lot,

but I don't think she will kill someone.

This picture, Xiao Ke is able to find and so can the police.

The prosecutor will also find out sooner or later.

I'm going to ask Mrs. Mo for more details.

- Can you please not find her? - Why?

I don't want to have anything to do with her.

- She might be able to clear your name. - I don't need her help.

You're my lawyer, can't you listen to me?

I won't.

Back then, she was the one who told you to take the blame for your father right?

No matter what hate you have for her, I'll respect it.

But I still have to do what I need to do.

Asking Mrs. Mo to testify in court, Wan Ting will definitely be upset.

From a professional lawyer's standpoint, consent is not needed.

Shouldn't you at least consider how she will feel?

Fine, then you call her.

You will be responsible for the consequences.

If you don't want to call, then don't call. Just stop squeezing my phone so tightly.

Violent woman!

Why are you laughing?

Just focus on driving.

Hi.

Mrs. Mo is already waiting for you guys inside. Please come in.

Okay.

- Lawyer Mai. - Mrs. Mo

You must be Yu Xin. You were the one who called me right?

Yes, that's me.

I first received a call from the appraiser, Mr. Pan.

I knew that he has the painting.

Afterwards, Ji Ping found the appraisal report from years ago.

So I arranged a meeting with Mr. Pan.

When I arrived that day, the door wasn't closed so I just entered.

Once I entered, I saw Mr. Pan already lying on the ground.

Because I was afraid of becoming involved in the murder,

so I didn't call the police right away.

How come you didn't say anything the next day when you went to the prosecutor's office?

I didn't want to affect the reputation of my family and our business.

You're not the murderer, so how will it affect things?

There are some things that I don't feel comfortable sharing.

Then why are you brave enough to tell us today?

Because of my daughter.

I know all of you are Wan Ting's friends.

So it must be hard to forgive me, just like her.

I understand it all.

But today, for my daughter's sake,

I must come out and address everything.

Address everything for the sake of Wan Ting?

Can you prove Wan Ting didn't kill anyone?

I think... I may have seen the murderer.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

You can prove Wan Ting didn't kill anyone?

I think... I may have seen the murderer.

Mrs. Mo, you are effectively overturning your previous statement.

Prosecutor... I'm really sorry.

I wasn't brave enough to tell the truth before.

Please continue. Who did you see?

When I was about to head upstairs,

I saw a man.

How could you tell if the man had just left the lab?

I don't know.

The stairs leading to the lab was very narrow.

So I stopped and looked at the man.

Because it happened so quickly, I only remembered after I left the lab.

When he going down the stairs, he was taking off his gloves.

[Yida Art Appraisal Center]

Was there any blood marks on the gloves?

I wasn't able to see that clearly.

Prosecutor, Zhang Wan Ting heard the doorbell when she was in the reception room.

This could be the man that Mrs. Mo saw.

Appraiser Pan must have known the man to be willing to open the safe.

As for the bag the man was carrying...

The painting could be in there.

[Prosecutor]

Mrs. Mo, is this who you just described?

It looks very similar. It should be him.

Lawyer Mai, the police weren't idle.

This is the footage they found.

In the hour before and after the crime,

besides Zhang Wan Ting, the only other people

to exit that east-side intersection is that man and Assistant Qiu.

If this man also went to the lab,

Then he got there after Miss Zhang and left before she did.

Who is this man? DId you find out?

We're currently investigating.

So is Zhang Wan Ting cleared of all suspicion?

Temporarily.

Mrs. Mo, thank you for agreeing to testify.

This is what I should do.

I just wish that these two words, "thank you"

were said to me by my daughter.

Lawyer Mai, can I ask you to

ask Wan Ting out for a meal with me?

I want to properly explain the whole situation those years ago.

Apologize to her properly.

Don't worry, I will be sure to relay your message.

Thank you.

Prosecutor Xu.

I got it.

DNA Report

Ok, let me issue a warrant. Let's act now.

I just checked Zhang Wan Ting's cell phone location.

She should be at Zhenlu Law Firm.

Don't bother hoping that I'll thank her.

You can't even have a meal with her? She wants to apologize.

Apologize? She doesn't need to apologize to me.

She should be apologizing to my father.

Please stop all affairs relating to Mrs. Mo.

Wan Ting.

I'm not the murderer.

My conscience is clear. Now that you're helping me,

I am worried at all.

So please promise me this.

Don't ask Mrs. Mo to be a witness.

Da Qi. Please.

Because I am your lawyer, I have an obligation to prove your innocence,

regardless of the method.

Stop looking for her!

- You're not cleared of all suspicion yet, do you know that? - That's fine with me.

The highest sentence for robbery and murder is lifetime imprisonment or the death penalty.

Even if at the end, they want to say I murdered and give me the death sentence,

I do not want a single ounce of help from that woman.

I hired you, you have to listen to me!

Wan Ting!

Wan Ting! Wan Ting!

Don't be mad, Mai Da Qi is looking out for you.

I'm not mad at him.

I'm mad at myself.

There's many things that I can't get over.

I know Mrs. Mo makes you feel very conflicted.

But this...

It's not only her.

I can't stand myself when it comes to many other things too.

It's okay, let me calm down.

I'll be okay in no time.

I'm leaving.

What you just said earlier,

you're rejecting me, right?

Xiao Mi, we can't let daddy go to jail.

So you have to tell the police that you took the gas can.

This way, we can save dad. Do you hear me?

Mom! Dad is back!

Don't you ever do such a disgraceful thing.

♫ Fragmented contacts ♫

♫ almost speak it out many times ♫

Mom! ♫ But I'm not sure ♫

I don't want to listen to you! ♫ After all, I endured without crying ♫

Get out! ♫ After all, I endured without crying ♫

So if you don't act, you will... ♫ I don't want to be remembered by my tears ♫

I don't know how to make a move. ♫ I don't want to be remembered by my tears ♫

You tricked me into saying it!

Yeah, why are you so easy to trick?

You're too much!

♫ I've given up, given up the suspense of one person ♫

♫ and the loneliness of two people ♫

♫ Imaginary clouds walk side by side ♫

♫ Turns out they were both lost ♫

Miss Zhang Wan Ting. Please come with us.

Is this a joke? What are you doing?

Let go of me! What's going on?

Lawyer Mai! Something's happening!

What are you doing?

Let go of me! What's going on?

What's going on Police Officer Li?

The latest evidence indicates Zhang Wan Ting is a murder suspect. This is the warrant.

What new evidence?

If you have any issues. Let's talk at the court. Prosecutor Xu has already made an official request for her arrest.

Let her go, she cannot be the killer.

So you want to obstruct official business?

Wan Ting. Don't worry,

I'll be there soon. But before I get there, not a single word.

It's okay.

Fine.

Take her away.

Wan Ting.

Xiao Ke, where are you? Come over now.

- I'll go with you. - Intern lawyers are not allowed into the prison.

- But Wan Ting... - There is no "but"!

Wait here.

[Criminal Investigation Bureau's Report]

According to the Criminal Investigation Bureau's report,

there were traces of skin particles under the deceased fingernails.

They were a match to Zhang Wan Ting's DNA.

Zhang Wan Ting. Please raise your left hand, with your palm facing out.

Your left hand. Thank you.

How did you get this injury?

I can explain this.

How did you scoop him from the enemy camp

to under your skirt?

Let go.

This is how I got this wound.

The whole incident happened in the Guest Reception area.

At the end, someone rang the doorbell and Pan Yi Da went out.

So Pan Yi Da's death has nothing to do with me.

If that's the case, why didn't you say so before?

Your story keeps changing. Who knows when you're telling the truth and when you're lying?

Then must I repeat his shameful words to humiliate me again?

How do I know your conflict didn't happen out in the work area?

First the conflict, then you used the art knife to kill him.

Prosecutor, I want to know regarding evidence 20191125A3,

the 1.6 cm piece of hair that was found by the deceased blood.

- Was it Zhang Wan Ting's? - No.

Was it from the deceased, Assistant Qiu, Mrs. Mo, or any of the investigators there that day?

So it could be the killer's and the killer might not be Zhang Wan Ting.

But the skin particles under the deceased nails is Zhang Wan Ting's.

At the moment, this is the most direct evidence.

Don't forget the footage from the security cameras.

When Zhang Wan Ting left the scene, she was not holding anything.

But as for the man wearing black that Mrs. Mo described,

he was holding a bag that may contain the painting.

Who the suspect is, is very clear.

Your Honor, I issued the arrest purely based on the evidence.

Your Honor, you have also seen the security camera footage.

The man in black that Mrs. Mo described is the true suspect.

I demand that they let my client, Zhang Wan Ting go immediately.

The investigators do indeed need to try harder.

But Lawyer Mai, didn't Mrs. Mo already say

she didn't see that man commit the crime.

Zhang Wan Ting was not truthful during the questioning,

and the fact that she just confessed that she had a conflict with the deceased,

also this DNA report...

We will let the evidence decide.

The court rules Zhang Wan Ting is accused of a major crime. Take her into custody with no visitation privileges.

This Prosecutor Xu is truly ruthless.

He KO'd us out of nowhere and caught us off guard.

Stop nagging.

If they can provide new evidence, so can we.

The point is, we must rescue Wan Ting.

Lawyer Mai.

Have you thought of a solution?

Lawyer Wu. Why are you here?

Mai Da Qi, how did you defend Wan TIng?

She was fine and now she's locked up in detention.

Wait a second, did you come just to criticize?

From now on, Wan Ting's business is my business.

[Lawyer Appointment Letter]

Lawyer appointment document?

Wan Ting has decided to change lawyers. Her lawyer now... is me.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

[Lawyer Appointment Letter]

Lawyer appointment document?

Wan Ting has decided to change lawyers. Her lawyer now... is me.

Impossible.

Look at it clearly, that is her signature.

[Zhang Wan Ting]

- I'm going to find her now. - There's no need to go.

We're no longer her lawyers.

Even if you go down there, they won't let you see her.

Wu Jing Tao.

I don't know what kind of methods you used just to steal a client, but let me tell you,

Zhang Wan Ting isn't a client. She is my sister!

I'm really sorry, I don't know what happened either.

I got a phone call from her before I got a chance to see her.

And received this lawyer appointment document she sent.

So I don't care how you guys look at me,

I'm just here to let you know. I hope you don't go bothering my client anymore.

Bothering?

What's wrong?

Do you not accept it?

Eye witness Liu Yan Ping's phone number, you can contact her.

- Thanks. - But there's a condition.

Say it.

Let's keep in contact and notify each other of material changes.

Okay. There's no loss to me.

- Lawyer Mai, you... - What else could I do?

Any lawyer is better than no lawyer.

Hey, you're so weird. How can you be so calm after getting fired by a client?

It doesn't matter who is her lawyer, as long as she is able to be proven innocent. Start working, you two.

The only way we can prove Wan Ting's innocence is if we find the real killer.

Xiao Ke. Where are you?

Okay, get moving.

I've already submitted an appeal to revoke the detention.

You don't need to worry.

Can you tell me the truth?

If there isn't any more convincing counter evidence, the litigation could take a while

even as long as a few years.

But I won't give up.

From the prison cell window,

you can see this very beautiful

pink flowering tree.

It is really quite beautiful.

I wonder how long it will be bloomed for.

Why did you want me to replace Mai Da Qi?

Anyone with eyes can plainly see your ability.

You like Mai Da Qi, right?

If that's the case, why are you purposely pushing him away?

Can you tell me?

I don't want to just be your lawyer, I also want to be your friend.

I don't need friends.

Not even a friend like Tian Yu Xin?

You want to push her away?

When she found out you changed lawyers, she was so emotional that she almost cried.

Yu Xin isn't a friend,

she's my little sister.

I'm just scared I'm getting deeper and deeper.

Unable to extricate myself.

So it's because of Yu Xin.

Because Tian Yu Xin likes Mai Da Qi,

and she's like your sister, so you don't want to hurt her.

Don't you understand, love only has attack and no retreat.

What do you know?

And how should dad turn?

Dad will turn left and right.

Okay, turn!

This way.

[Heaven Must Pay]

Back then, Lawyer TIan sacrificed his life

while defending my father.

[Lawyer Appointment Letter]

At that time Mama Tian was completed alone and without help.

But she still insisted I stay as her daughter.

Sister.

That was the true definition of "not asking for anything in return".

It let me understand what family was.

Just because it is family, doesn't mean you have to unconditionally sacrifice.

Those who have blood relations and the same last name

but don't deserve to be with their families, there's many like that.

But they who were completely unrelated.

They gave me true love.

Teaching me what it means to have a family.

Lawyer Wu. All that I have just said,

please remember it.

Or else you are not worthy to be my lawyer.

I will protect you.

And prove your innocence.

[Jian Tao Attorney Firm]

Tian Yu Xin, did you come to criticize?

My assistant said you came to visit. I've already asked security to standby.

What's wrong?

Does Mai Da Qi know you've come to find me?

He doesn't know.

Then why are you here?

I wanted to apologize to you.

Apologize for what?

I was very rude to you today.

Today was not the only day you were rude to me.

Can you not be so petty for such a highly lawyer?

You can do whatever.

I just want to know how Wan Ting is.

I'm very worried about her but... I can't go visit her.

She is fine. Don't worry.

Then why does she want to change lawyers?

Is it because of me, Lawyer Bai, or Lawyer Mai

who made her mad?

Why are you always with Mai Da Qi?

She doesn't like Lawyer Mai?

Yes.

I couldn't tell.

- I'm kidding. - What?

She doesn't like you.

Me?

How is that possible?

Wu Jing Tao, I know that you don't like me,

but you can't say things so carelessly.

Relax.

Sit.

You can say it.

Ever since I've become a lawyer,

I had to force myself how to like something called... gray.

Gray?

Not black and not white.

There are some things that you can never explain clearly and some things you can never say at all.

This is what is gray.

Why are you telling me this?

Just give Wan Ting some time.

She is now living in a dejected state.

Let her decide if she wants to tell you, once she has thought everything through.

Do you really like her?

Then I think I can relax.

What do you mean?

Although most times you're self-serving.

Even though it's really hard to see "humanity" in you,

but I believe now that you'll protect her.

You... I'm not sure if you're cursing me out or complimenting me.

If you want to date Wan Ting, you need to go through me.

For now, I just want to save her.

Lawyer Wu, please try your best to win Wan Ting's case.

You don't need to be like this.

Please. I'm begging you.

[Carrefour]

We checked more than a dozen supermarkets but haven't gotten any clues yet.

This way.

Stop here.

Brother Li, take a look. That's him.

That's him, right?

It's the same bag. Enlarge it.

Okay.

The same two-sided jacket.

That's him.

This is many blocks away from the crime scene.

He can't have imagined we would find him.

Do you have the package claim slip?

Here.

Do you know him?

He will sometimes come to pick up packages.

Guo Zhi Wei?

Who is he? Why are so many people looking for him?

Who else is looking for him?

About an hour ago, a young man and woman said he ran away from home.

Young man and woman?

What did they look like?

Wait a second...

Them.

The next place that Guo Zhi Wei will appear.

The person you saw in the stairway of the forensic lab

- is him. - Perhaps you can help me out with something else.

Girlfriend?

What is this Mo Family? How come they're connected to everyone?

This is a special party Mrs. Mo put on to celebrate Wan Ting's victory.

It's nice to finally meet you, my name is Mo Ji Ping.

Mo Ji Ping was only 24 years old when Mo Shang De was murdered.

He wasn't involved in the operations for PingKang Biotechnologies.

Yu Xin is very special. I like her.

Is this a confession?

♫ I want to heal this scar of mine gently and tenderly ♫

♫ Finally I can fall asleep after dawn ♫

♫ As I walk easily to find my balance ♫

♫ An unforgettable song echoes in my heart ♫

♫ I still remember yesterday's journey ♫

♫ Sometimes disputes are on the verge of taking our familiarities​ ♫

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

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I've long forgotten how to protect you ♫

♫ The things we had in the past ♫

♫ Are vast like the clear sky ♫

♫ Time is like the shadows ♫

♫ Seeping into my heart like the river flows ♫
