Autumn Cicada

Episode 42

You have always thought that

the exchange between us is unfair.

Actually, it's already very fair,

the amnesties you got from me

will not be given by others.

You have to remember this.

What about the workers in my factory?

Miyamoto still obeys my orders,

I will tell him

not to disturb you

and your clothing factory.

Well, see you then.

You must take a detailed record

of the secret radio station you're monitoring,

and you can't make any mistakes,

- are you clear? - Yes.

Remember,

What you see now

is the ciphered message.

The message

needs to be deciphered into...

Major Miyamoto.

Have you heard about Kawaji Maru?

This is not a news anymore.

Is our monitoring working?

Is there a connection between the two events?

The clothing factory is calm,

without anything unusual.

Kurano Miyamoto,

I can fulfill

the agreement between us.

But I need you

to give me a deadline.

When will you start the action?

I am looking for a right timing.

You should know that

the timing is very important.

If He Ying...

I don't want to know your plan,

I just want the result.

And one more thing,

I need to remind you,

I agreed to cooperate with you for Ye Chong's sake.

What's between us

will only be within this gate.

This will never change.

Your records are very useful.

Keep monitoring.

You should eat some.

Chief.

Xue Ping has left Xinghe Society.

Is that your command?

She left Xinghe Society.

That indicates that she has found

the flaws of Tang Feng,

but she couldn't bear to expose him.

She's too emotional.

As a spy,

she's just a crap now.

Is there any

misunderstanding?

Misunderstanding?

She treats Tang Feng just how you treat her.

What misunderstanding?

Since you care about her so much,

then you should keep an eye on her.

I need to know

every move of hers.

In this way,

maybe I will

give her another chance.

Sad to look back

I'm afraid to go forward

I felt the dreariness

Annoyed to send the sadness...

Major,

there is a strange voice in the clothing factory.

This is just a normal interference.

Everything is good.

I don't want it to be normal.

The clothing factory needs a little voice.

Wait a minute,

Anything special about this?

This is just

their routine activity.

I don't know

what is the connection between this

and what we are doing.

You told me that

voice is very important

for sending mesages.

That's why telecom experts like you

especially enjoy quietness.

What do you want to say?

Major Miyamoto.

If you want to use

He Ying as an excuse to gain my trust,

then my patience is running out.

I want He Ying

to leave Ye Chong completely.

But I must find a proper reason.

Such an incident happened in the clothing factory.

Imagine that,

if He Ying is related to these,

could you understand

why I'm monitoring?

Sad to look back.

I'm afraid to go forward.

I felt the dreariness.

Annoyed to send the sadness to my parents.

Sister Ying.

Mansheng! Mansheng!

Mansheng!

Mansheng! Mansheng!

Mansheng!

Mansheng! Mansheng!

Mansheng!

Mansheng!

Master, calm down.

Master.

That's what the Japanese want you to do.

Then you will fall into their trap.

Master.

Sir,

we found that guy.

He wanted to see you.

Wake up, Mansheng.

I know what to do.

You disappeared at the wrong time.

I know that.

I did come a little too late.

But, before that,

I didn't get

any useful information.

I don't want to hear your nonsense.

Well,

let's talk about

the most important thing.

A few days ago,

I heard that

someone bought a batch of

white phosphorus on the black market at a high price.

White phosphorus is a chemical

that can spontaneously ignite

at a low temperature.

I think

it must be closely related to

the explosion of the navy ship.

Cut to the chase.

The buyer of the white phosphorus

was Tang Feng.

He Ying.

Miyamoto.

Miyamoto.

It's Miyamoto.

Miyamoto killed my little brother.

You stay here

and take care of yourself.

I will come back soon.

Major Ye,

please take me out.

Mr. Chi,

you can't go in.

Mr. Chi!

Mr. Chi!

This is the Military Government.

Mr. General.

Yes.

Mr. General,

I remember

you've promised me more than once that

there would be no bloodshed in my factory.

Don't you remember?

If you forget it,

I have a lot of ways

to bring back your memory.

I hate being threatened.

I'm not threatening you.

I'm reminding you,

a friendly reminder.

I can give you whatever

I have,

what I asked is

only this little request.

Then I want to ask you

Miyamoto killed

innocent people

in my factory today,

can you give me an explanation?

I don't think

I'm killing innocent people.

I believe that my judgment is correct.

Is it correct?

He's just a

fourteen-year-old kid.

Fourteen-year-old?

What's the matter?

It's not uncommon to have scouts

in underground Communist group.

It doesn't mean anything.

Well,

before accusing me,

you should explain

the explosion of the navy ship first.

The explosion?

I'm just wondering.

Your navy ship exploded,

and destroyed all the materials I produced,

I suffered the most.

Your ability to stand up for yourself

is really amazing.

It's a pity that

you showed a flaw.

Mr. General,

just now,

I found that someone paid a high price

for white phosphorus on the black market.

I think you must be familiar with this matter, right?

The white phosphorus was used to cause the fire,

which led to the explosion of

all the military supplies on Kawaji Maru.

That's the real cause

of the accident.

I don't understand what exactly you mean.

Are you trying to blame me for this thing?

Miyamoto,

keep going.

Mr. General,

I can confirm that

the person who bought the white phosphorus

was Chi Cheng's assistant,

Tang Feng.

Explain yourself.

I don't need to explain.

Do you have any evidence?

Evidence?

Mr. General,

anyway,

this matter

is related to the clothing factory.

I demand the immediate arrest of Chi Cheng

for interrogation.

Since the evidence is complete,

then,

please cooperate with us, Mr. Chi.

And help us find out the truth.

For the sake of our friendship,

I will not ask the military police to come.

Now please move to

the interrogation room.

Miyamoto.

Mr. Chi,

please.

Ye Chong,

don't be impulsive.

Mr. General asked me

to take care of you.

He still hopes

you can walk out of here

decently.

But probably

I'm gonna let him down.

At the moment you made such

an effort to set up the factory,

you have thought of today, right?

I don't understand what your point is.

Can you Communists change a line?

You always pretend to be idiots.

But every time,

you'll end up miserably.

Mr. Chi,

you're a decent man.

You don't want me to be rude to you, right?

I will say the same thing,

if you want to frame me,

please show me your evidence.

Evidence?

Don't worry.

I will put them

in front of you one by one.

Then,

let's wait till

you have them.

Are you sure you play it like this?

Mr. Chi,

you're sitting in

the interrogation room.

You should know it better than me

what will be the end of a man trying to protect a Communist.

I don't know.

But I know very well

what will be the end of

a brutal beast like you

who has no human nature.

Miyamoto.

General asked us to go to his office.

Mr. General,

here are the recent action reports.

Please have a look.

Miyamoto.

I'm in charge of the military control.

Why do you keep intervening the matter in the factory?

Ye Chong.

Just because

you are in charge of it,

you need to avoid it.

General,

this matters honor.

Forgive me for disobeying the orders.

Actually,

you don't have to blame yourself.

This matter

is not that serious.

This matter

is more serious than it seems.

You don't have to worry.

Business is business.

I strongly demand that

we thoroughly investigate the explosion

according to the procedure.

I will never allow anyone

to use this accident

to kill innocent people,

and make me accountable

for negligence.

If Chi Cheng is really a Communist,

Ye Chong,

what will you do?

If he is really a Communist,

I will kill him by myself immediately.

What if he is not?

If he is not...

Well,

Ye Chong,

no one is blaming you for this matter,

so

You don't have to force yourself.

Miyamoto,

you don't need to investigate Chi Cheng's case.

Write a report and shoot him directly.

Mr. General.

I can prove that

there are Communists in that factory,

they're sending messages by voice.

We will surely get a lot

if we keep investigating.

Mr. General.

This is not no longer a matter of

catching one or two anti-Japanese.

I think that once the interests of the empire are involved,

it must be thoroughly investigated.

Otherwise,

we are unable to account for

such a big case

if superiors inquire it.

In my view,

Chi Cheng should be ready

for interrogation.

And he should not be locked up.

He must be locked up.

Enough.

Enough.

The explosion of the navy ship

is a fact now.

If you want to let the superiors have nothing to say,

then

you must find out

a large number of anti-Japanese.

Otherwise,

we still won't keep our dignity.

Mr. General,

I can save our dignity.

Please trust me.

Through Chi Cheng's clothing factory,

I will be able to find out

the Communists

that Ye Chong can't find out.

Miyamoto.

This is not the first time you've made such promise.

But this time is different.

I don't need much time.

It will be pretty soon.

Soon?

How soon?

Two days.

OK,

I can give you three days.

Mr. General,

If Miyamoto can prove that Chi Cheng

or anyone around him

is a Communist,

I'm willing to take off

my military uniform

and go back to Japan.

I promise that

I won't mention Military Government

and you, Mr. General.

Ye Chong,

I will definitely find it out.

You'd better do so.

The kid in the clothing factory can't be killed in vain.

If you can't find out,

I will give you a katana.

If you

have to investigate this matter,

I won't stop you.

But,

do everything

at your own risk.

Tang Feng,

what did you do

in the clothing factory?

Why did the Japanese

arrest Chi Cheng?

Don't worry, sister,

listen to me.

I'm going to

handle that now.

Would he be locked up in the Military Government,

if you could handle it?

Tell me,

what happened?

Say it!

It's related to the exploded navy ship.

What's the relationship

between he and the explosion?

Tang Feng,

listen to me.

Whatever you know about it,

you must tell me every word of it.

Sister.

Do not call me sister.

I don't want to live

without your brother-in-law.

Sir,

what shall we do next?

You had an agreement with

Major Kiyoizumi.

If we

are aiming at Ye Chong again...

We'll investigate the white phosphorus on the ship.

Why?

Even not aiming at Ye Chong,

we should investigate

the clothing factory for Communists.

Are you sure that there are Communists in that factory?

But there is a man

that can be one at any time

standing in front of us.

The batch of white phosphorus

is the most powerful evidence

to prove Chi Cheng's identity.

Only by confirming Chi Cheng's crimes,

can I really

defeat Ye Chong.

This time,

even though Chi Cheng is not a Communist,

I have to make him one.

Do you know this guy?

What about him?

Do you remember that

this guy bought something at a high price

from you?

I don't know him.

I guess

the money he gave you

is running out.

I said,

I don't know anything.

Actually,

I came here to help you.

You have offended some people

you shouldn't offended.

If you keep staying in Hong Kong,

death will be your only way out.

I can save your life,

as long as you help me.

Of course,

you can also have this.

Xue Ping.

The hiding place you chose

is not hard to find.

I didn't intend to hide.

In this case,

come back to the Chief with me.

Blue Panther,

I warn you

not to intervene in my affairs.

What's more,

I don't want to see you.

The Japanese have already known

what Tang Feng did.

When he did those,

he didn't take your feelings into consideration.

Because of such a person,

you make yourself

a total mess now.

What did you say?

How did the Japanese find out?

You can't beat Chief.

All these so-called close friends

all betrayed you.

Only I am

dedicated to you

from beginning till the end.

Come with me.

Xue Ping!

Here it is.

Tang Feng bought white phosphorus from him.

He can identify Tang Feng for us.

Hurry up.

Quickly.

Yes, sir.

Kojima!

Kojima!

Come on!

Take him to the hospital! Quickly!

Give me a hand.

Xue Ping,

where are you going?

Let me go.

Not your business.

Xue Ping.

Tang Feng is in danger now.

Chi Cheng has been arrested by the Japanese.

If you're going to see him now,

it's very likely that

you will die with him.

Come with me,

okay?

As long as he is alive

and you're alive,

I promise you

I will make you back to him,

okay?

What if he dies?

Then I will die with him.

Please let me go.

Sir.

Are you okay?

Yes, sir. I'm fine.

I was outside the door at that time.

But the two people went in...

Well, stop it.

It must be Ye Chong.

He wanted to kill that person.

Do you have any evidence?

Maybe

I'm making it complicated.

Well,

go and find Tang Feng.

Arrest him?

Do we need to

ask Mr. General for permission?

Don't worry about that.

I will do that.

Well, come back soon.

Why did you arrest Chi Cheng?

Chi Cheng always tells me that

President Jin is hot-tempered

and impulsive.

I thought

he lacks experience

in dealing with women.

Today,

I understand him.

However,

I still admire you

for your straightforward personality.

Cut the crap,

I'm not here

to discuss this matter with you.

It's not negotiable.

Either you release Chi Cheng,

or

You kill me.

All brothers of the Xinghe Society will not let you go.

Make your choice now.

Your options are too extreme, President Jin.

I think there

might be a misunderstanding.

You should know that

it's not me

who asked people to arrest Mr. Chi.

I know that,

you didn't arrest him yourself.

I never ordered or instructed

anyone to arrest him.

Now the problem is troublesome.

The Kawaji Maru loaded with

clothing and military supplies

suddenly exploded.

So, Miyamoto

is investigating this matter now.

The Base Camp

gave us a lot of pressure,

and ask us to solve it as soon as possible.

Mr. Chi,

as the owner of the clothing factory,

should cooperate with us for investigation.

Mr. Chi

came here to cooperate with us.

We will release him after we find out the truth,

unless he is related to this matter.

He is interrogated by Miyamoto,

but I am in charge here.

As long as he is locked up in here,

I will keep him safe.

The top priority

you should consider now

is the other people

who are targeted by Miyamoto.

President Jin,

you should know

what I mean.

What is he going to do?

You've been dealing with him for a long time,

you should know his style

better than me.

He's a lunatic who won't stop

until he gets what he wants.

President Jin,

according to your experience,

you should have a way to deal with such a person.

What do you mean?

I mean

you should use Xinghe Society

to deal with these people,

but not me.

You want to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

You're too sensitive, President Jin.

I just want to help you to save Mr. Chi.

Miyamoto,

who is always ruthless,

by then not only Mr. Chi,

but also you will have troubles.

Stopping saying anything sounds great.

I just need you to answer me.

What is Miyamoto trying to do?

And where is he now?

You need to hurry up.

If you don't,

it's not

a matter of saving Mr. Chi.

Miyamoto has started off for a while,

I think

he should find Tang Feng at this time.

We are ready.

This is the way

he returns to the clothing factory every day.

Show me your credentials.

Go!

Go!

Go after them.

Xue Ping!

Xue Ping!

Xue Ping!

Open the door, Xue Ping.

Go!

Let President Jin take a break.

Feng's injury

is under control.

She is worried about master.

Today is Spring Festival.

Is this like a festival?

Yeah.

Master is in the hands of the Japanese.

This Spring Festival...
