[Episode 48]

4

Mr. Feng, have you thought of

5

designing some porcelains yourself?

6

Make your own creations based on the need of the modern era art.

7

Those Tang Dynasty tri-color porcelains which you counterfeited

8

could be said to be flawless from the craftsmanship perspective.

9

But they lack the precipitation of history.

10

Imitations are ultimately only imitations.

11

Even if you managed to configure the pottery clay and glaze materials of that time,

12

you can't recreate the culture and the social environment.

13

All the differences that are a result of these objective conditions

14

can't be made up for by manpower.

15

Yes.

16

Rather than pursuing others or imitating those before us,

17

why not create and design yourself?

18

My passion is in antiques.

19

I also like those exquisite artistic techniques before these items were eventually considered antiques.

20

The standard of your craftsmanship is not below that of ancient craftsmen.

21

If you spend time to polish your craft carefully,

22

I believe your creations would definitely also be

23

antiques which everyone will fight to collect in hundreds and thousands of years later.

24

I understand now.

25

I think I understand, too.

26

Are you going to subsidize Mr. Feng in starting a new workroom for firing porcelains?

27

Yes. In Beijing.

28

In...

29

Okay.

30

Rich people like us can afford to be impulsive.

31

Whatever it is, let me tell you this. The cost will be three times higher than that in Gansu.

32

On top of it,

33

there will be manpower cost and transportation cost.

34

This is not firing porcelains. This is burning money!

35

Are you willing to do it?

36

Of course!

37

Of course, I'm willing to do a work that I'm capable of doing

38

and at the same time make a living.

39

This is definitely more than just willing!

40

Good. First of all, please ensure that your hand heals well.

41

Second, we have to calculate the share allocation of the workroom.

42

Also, the labor cost

43

and materials cost. Right?

44

You don't have to worry about the cost.

45

Just state your requests, and let Xiao Yun know about them.

46

Yes. Thank you.

47

[Wangfu Hospital]

48

Zhuang Rui?

49

Don't move.

50

Why is it you?

51

Why am I here?

52

I'll get the doctor.

53

No need.

54

Qin Haoran doesn't need me anymore.

55

Even though you saved me, it will not benefit you at all.

56

The Qin family will not thank you for it.

57

You also won't be able to threaten the Qin family in any way at all.

58

Miss Qin, I'm not planning to make use of you.

59

I only hope that you will live.

60

Live?

61

Being alive is meaningless to me now.

62

Miss Qin, I think you like ambergris very much. Right?

63

My father once said that

64

ambergris is a waxy substance produced in the intestines of sperm whales.

65

Over the years, it floats on the surface of the ocean.

66

The bigger the winds and waves are, the longer it precipitates,

67

the less will be the filth,

68

and its fragrance will be richer.

69

Miss Qin, this is just one storm. You are a free person.

70

You can leave anytime after you recover.

71

I want to ask for your help in a matter.

72

Zhuang Rui will be arriving in Beijing tomorrow.

73

If you want to meet him, I can bring him here.

74

Zhuang Rui?

75

Is he well?

76

Miss Qin is awake? Does she still remember what happened that day?

77

She does.

78

Boss!

79

- She's still alive. Send her to the hospital quickly!

- Yes.

80

First, Qin Haoran's men went after her and tried to kill her,

81

then she was buried by the cave-in.

82

Miss Qin is exceedingly lucky to be alive after all this.

83

Qin Haoran being vicious and merciless is nothing new.

84

But I really never expected that

85

he would try to kill his own biological daughter.

86

I have already sent someone to check on the Qin family's background. There will be news very soon.

87

But how are we going to reply to Zhuang Rui regarding Miss Qin?

88

So, my father was able to return safely back to Japan

89

because old Mr. Zhuang helped him all along the way.

90

Then, did your father mention this person Little Ma?

91

There were some sporadic records of their rough experience back in Gansu.

92

It was the same as those recorded by old Mr. Zhuang.

93

But very little was mentioned about this murderer.

94

It was only mentioned that this person was very vicious and that he hid his true self well.

95

Hence, he didn't take any precautions, resulting in him being seriously injured.

96

Didn't take any precaution?

97

People who could make the members of an archaeological team not guard against him

98

could only be those from within the team.

99

But who really is this Little Ma?

100

[Police Station]

101

Leader Miao, the National Administration of Cultural Heritage sent to us the list of names and materials

102

of the expedition team to Gansu forty years ago.

103

[Yohei Nakagawa]

104

[Mai Liya]

105

[Sang Jun]

106

How could it be like this?

107

Hello?

108

There's no one with the surname "Ma" in the expedition team.

109

There's also no one with the word "Ma" in his name.

110

What?

111

No one with the surname "Ma"?

112

There's not even one born in the year of "Ma" (horse).

113

And I recalled that

114

counting all the corpses which we saw in Feng Quan's tomb,

115

plus Zhuang Qiming and Yohei Nakagawa,

116

the number is the same as that reported by the Cultural Relics Bureau of Shanxi Province.

117

Where is this Little Ma then?

118

Right.

119

Feifei. Feifei! Come over here for a while.

120

Chief Ding!

121

I'm investigating a case. Can you wait a while?

122

When do you plan to submit that Gansu report to me?

123

Immediately.

124

Hurry.

125

There are too many loose ends to tackle after returning from Gansu this time.

126

There are just too many clues. We need to sort them out first.

127

Let's think through the matter of Little Ma again.

128

I'm going to see the Chief. Bye.

129

Don't be anxious. Do it slowly.

130

The truth will surely come to light.

131

But I'm running out of time!

132

I have the same symptoms as your father.

133

I have already lost the use of my five senses.

134

Headaches and dizzy spells are getting more frequent.

135

Seven days of cherry blossoms (Japanese saying alluding the magnificence and transience of life).

136

I reckon I'm already on the seventh day.

137

Zhuang Rui, I will do everything I can to save you.

138

When we were in the desert, Kojima and Aoyama

139

already put their lives at great risk because they were trying to save me.

140

Now, Qin Xuanbing lost her life in the wilderness because she wanted to save me.

141

I really don't want anyone else to be sacrificed because of me.

142

Can I beg you

143

not to tell him that I'm still alive?

144

Why?

145

My appearance in his life

146

did not bring him any help at all.

147

I don't want him to visit me

148

and pity me.

149

I would rather him think that I am already dead.

150

At least in this way, he could still remember me.

151

I don't have much longer to live.

152

But I hope that in my remaining days,

153

I can find the murderer of my grandfather and Grandfather Gu.

154

I don't want to die with any regret.

155

[Crime Investigation Division]

156

Now, Qin Haoran has targeted Zhuang Rui and won't let him off.

157

He is also suffering the side effects of the Golden Eyes.

158

There's still a Little Ma following behind.

159

I think if I disseminate the fake news that the fourth jade eye is with Zhuang Rui,

160

we definitely can't ensure his safety.

161

I know you have a good relationship with Zhuang Rui.

162

This has nothing to do with emotions.

163

I just think we should focus our attention on Qin Haoran and that suspect Little Ma,

164

instead of endangering the main guy where we get our clues from.

165

But whether it's looking for criminal evidence against the Qin family,

166

or looking for clues to the suspect Little Ma,

167

there isn't any real progress.

168

We must work hard to protect Zhuang Rui, who is not well.

169

But what if?

170

I'm just saying, what if. What if Zhuang Rui has an unexpected misfortune

171

and dies from his illness? All our clues and information...

172

I think this is not what Zhuang Rui wishes to see either.

173

This 'what if' will never happen!

174

Why can't you understand, Feifei?

175

The Golden Eyes case doesn't involve just Zhuang Rui alone.

176

It involves both the countries China and Japan.

177

The moment that our trail gets severed,

178

it will threaten the safety of an entire society.

179

If the criminal discovers the secret of the Golden Eyes

180

and reproduces it in batches, then the entire

181

precious stones industry and gold industry

182

will be turned into a big mess!

183

Feifei, let me tell you this.

184

You can't allow your emotions

185

control how you judge the whole situation.

186

I really didn't do that.

187

What do you mean "you didn't?"

188

Don't act impetuously anymore. Tackle the case with this four-step plan.

189

First, the police are to contact the hospital

190

and continue to search for the method to heal the Golden Eyes.

191

At the same time, Special Crime Division will

192

continue to investigate Qin Haoran, Little Ma,

193

and the fourth jade eye.

194

Let me tell you this. Within one week,

195

if there's no real progress from these four-step plans,

196

I will transfer the Golden Eyes special case to Little Zhao.

197

At the same time, I will follow the plan of the fake jade eye

198

and consult Zhuang Rui for his opinion directly.

199

Okay, I understand.

200

I will definitely find a new breakthrough

201

from this person Little Ma.

202

And complete the report on the case quickly.

203

I know.

204

Why... are you here?

205

I just got back.

206

Why are you so nervous when I just returned to get a pen?

207

- That... I'm writing something to Teacher Xiao Jia.

- Okay, okay.

208

Continue writing.

209

Why did you photocopy my grandfather's notes?

210

Why? Isn't it because I'm looking for the secret method to heal your illness?

211

Is this useful for looking for secret methods of healing?

212

Well, at least, I might be able to find some system from within.

213

Recorded inside was how Yohei Nakagawa fell ill several times.

214

For example:

215

On the 17th of October,

216

he ate an egg in the morning

217

and fell ill in the afternoon.

218

What does this indicate?

219

This indicates that food high in protein

220

is very likely to worsen the condition of the illness.

221

Thank you, but Ryosuke Nakagawa told me that his father

222

was allergic to eggs.

223

So, may I advise you to call Teacher Xiao Jia quickly.

224

I fear your relationship might worsen.

225

Xiao Rui, are you at home?

226

Uncle De?

227

Uncle De is here. I'm going to take a look.

228

The devil is one foot tall, but virtue is ten feet tall.

229

Since I already made photocopies,

230

wouldn't I have photocopied two more sets?

231

After I called you, I chanced upon the super moon.

232

I thought that I was quite lucky.

233

But when we were in the desert,

234

we met with a sandstorm and were poisoned, too.

235

Fortunately, we managed to find the Buddhist cave.

236

Desert exploration

237

has always been exceedingly dangerous.

238

Even though you were tormented to some extent

239

in the process of it, all of you came home safely eventually.

240

You are still quite lucky after all.

241

The next time you decide to go on an expedition or exploration,

242

please, can you choose a safer place to do it?

243

Actually, our trip to Gansu this time was not just for scientific expedition or exploration.

244

Forty years ago,

245

my grandfather and members of an archaeological expedition team disappeared there.

246

I wanted to go there to get an answer.

247

Then...

248

My grandfather and all the members of that expedition team perished in the desert.

249

And that was exactly in Feng Quan's tomb.

250

Uncle De, do you still remember what you told me?

251

Because Feng Quan released a giant turtle, he gained special abilities.

252

It was indeed recounted as such in the story of The Tipsy Turtle (A story from the "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio").

253

I found a notebook belonging to my grandfather on this trip to Gansu.

254

In it was recorded that

255

actually, Feng Quan did not gain the special eyes because he released a giant turtle.

256

It was due to an accident.

257

So, the story of Feng Quan having wise eyes that could differentiate treasures is not just a legend.

258

Correct. And...

259

Feng Quan's biography was also

260

etched on his tombstone in the underground tomb.

261

I also confirmed all these from Feng Quan's descendants later on.

262

That's to say, the legend of Feng Quan is real.

263

Feng Quan's outstanding vision

264

was then called "The Golden Eyes" by the later generations.

265

That few pieces of jade eyes which he left behind

266

could possibly bring a special ability to people.

267

What a strange thing this is.

268

Furthermore, he left behind several jade eyes.

269

Perhaps, these few jade eyes

270

could endow people with such special abilities.

271

It was recorded in my grandfather's notebook that

272

they went to explore Feng Quan's tomb.

273

A member of the team, Yohei Nakagawa, had an accident.

274

He gained possession of the Golden Eyes through this accident.

275

But later,

276

a young man among them by the name of Little Ma found out about this secret.

277

He became filled with greed and the urge to kill.

278

He then pursued my grandfather and Yohei Nakagawa to try to kill them.

279

My grandfather died because of this.

280

The more precious and rare a treasure is, the more frightening would be the disaster that follows it.

281

This can't be helped. It has always been so since ancient times.

282

Then, what happened later? Did you manage to find Little Ma?

283

This is where the problem is.

284

We have been investigating all this while.

285

But there was no one by the name of Little Ma in the archaeological team. There wasn't anyone by that surname either.

286

Uncle De, please take a look at this photo.

287

I don't know if you can find any clues from the photo.

288

Are all the members of that archaeological team in this group photo?

289

Yes.

290

Then, who took this photo for them?

291

Could it have been that Little Ma who took the photo?

292

If that Little Ma was not a member of the scientific expedition team,

293

could he have been a local at that place?

294

Uncle De, you are right. I'll get Feifei to help to investigate immediately.

295

[Peking University Archaeological Department - Gansu]

296

[Police Station]

297

Chief Ding, I have already contacted the Cultural Relics Bureau of Shanxi Province and Gansu police.

298

This Little Ma could be a guide who the archaeological team hired at the place.

299

So, it is not possible for him to appear in the photo or had any records with the National Administration of Cultural Heritage.

300

Forty years ago, the census register system for village domicile

301

was neither comprehensive nor regulated.

302

I reckon it will be very hard for the Gansu police to find specific information about this person.

303

It will indeed be very hard.

304

I can go to Gansu personally and check all the villages in the vicinity one by one.

305

Okay. Then, I'll wait for your news.

306

This time, I will definitely have a breakthrough.

307

Go quickly.

308

Pay attention to safety. Safety first!

309

[Wangfu Hospital]

310

Miss Qin, many joints in your body were injured.

311

We can no longer delay the rehabilitation training for you.

312

Otherwise, you might suffer

313

life-long sequelae because of the injuries.

314

I have already said that I'm very tired,

315

I want to be alone.

316

Even if I might suffer any sequelae,

317

that is also my own decision.

318

You are not responsible for it.

319

Thank you, Doctor.

320

Please let me talk to Miss Qin privately.

321

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki

322

Mr. Nakagawa, I'm tired.

323

I know that. Indeed, you heart is very tired.

324

Previously, I had always been very curious.

325

You are the sole heir of the Qin family.

326

Why are you different from all the ladies from rich families that I've seen?

327

So quiet and precocious.

328

It turns out that you are not Qin Haoran's biological daughter.

329

You must really be very tired to have an adopted father like him.

330

You investigated me?

331

[Japan Passport]

332

I want to give you a new identity.

333

So, I had no choice but to properly check the background of Qin Xuanbing behind your back.

334

Qin Xuanbing has already died in the cave that collapsed.

335

Compared to being the Miss of the Qin family,

336

the identity of Kojima Maki

337

should allow you to feel more comfortable

338

and safer, too.

339

Safe?

340

Safe?

341

What do you mean?

342

You know too many secrets of the Qin family.

343

In Qin Haoran's heart, you have already defected to Zhuang Rui's side.

344

I think he hopes that you are dead.

345

I know some of the things which Brother Gui did to you in the desert.

346

Brother Gui is just one of my dad's subordinates.

347

He can't represent my dad.

348

My relationship with Qin Haoran is complex. You wouldn't understand it.

349

Previously, I arranged for

350

more than ten of my men to be around the cave.

351

After the cave collapsed,

352

Qin Haoran sent his men on many occasions to try and find out more information.

353

They inquired about Zhuang Rui and the jade eye,

354

but no one inquired about you.

355

Qin Haoran didn't even have the intention of bringing your corpse back.

356

You don't know anything at all.

357

Because he tried to save my biological father, Qin Haoran

358

injured one of his legs. He had to lean on a cane for the rest of his life.

359

I owed him all this.

360

It is proper and expected that I must return this debt.

361

Are you talking about your biological father, Zheng Chuan?

362

He established Aixi Jewelry, which became a sensation in Kiev at one time.

363

This was the gift from my dad

364

on my seventh birthday.

365

I don't want to draw! You're a liar! Where's my birthday present?

366

You didn't prepare anything at all!

367

How could I bear to lie to you?

368

Come.

369

Sit down, my precious.

370

Hold it.

371

This is my gift to you.

372

Thank you, Dad!

373

Happy birthday to my precious daughter!

374

Qin Haoran and Zheng Chuan were good friends. They went to Beijing together that year

375

to meet an investor for a collaboration discussion. Isn't that right?

376

Yes.

377

That year, dad brought me along to Beijing with him.

378

As a result, Qin Haoran and him

379

were ambushed by their enemy along the way.

380

This so-called enemy ambush

381

was what Qin Haoran told you, isn't it?

382

After Zheng Chuan passed away,

383

Xihuang Jewelry did not initiate any investment or project from Beijing.

384

There wasn't any documents about the Beijing business discussion left in Xihuang Jewelry, too. Right?

385

I know what you are trying to guess.

386

But that year, I saw with my own eyes how Qin Haoran

387

was shot.

388

Miss, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Qin

389

should have almost completed their discussion with the investor now.

390

Dad!

391

Dad is still inside!

392

Danger, Miss!

393

Stay back! Call the police quickly!

394

Quickly!

395

Dad!

396

Dad!

397

Dad!

398

What you mean by seeing with your own eyes

399

is actually just the result.

400

You didn't see those enemies.

401

You also didn't see how Zheng Chuan died.

402

But the result is that Zheng Chuan is dead, Qin Haoran is still alive

403

and he adopted you.

404

Impossible.

405

Impossible.

406

Qin Haoran had no reason to harm my dad.

407

They had been good friends for many years.

408

My dad's death

409

does no benefit to him at all.

410

He even sacrificed one leg because of this!

411

How could you say it did not benefit him?

412

You were a child then.

413

A child's testimony can most easily be misled.

414

He cheated you of your trust, and made use of your testimony to

415

get rid of the police's suspicion of him.

416

And then, he adopted you.

417

With justifiable reasons, he took over the management of

418

Aixi Jewelry left behind by Zheng Chuan.

419

Aren't those counted as benefits?

420

What evidence do you have after talking so much?

421

If I have any evidence, I should be sitting in the police station now.

422

After discovering all these questionable points, I could no longer remain silent toward you.

423

That year, Qin Haoran brought four bodyguards with him to Beijing.

424

Within a year, they were all sent away.

425

Later, while Qin Haoran was purging the middle and higher levels management of Aixi Jewelry,

426

your father's partner publicly denounced him.

427

He said that he had already reminded Zheng Chuan much earlier that

428

Qin Haoran was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

429

It's only a matter a time before he would cause the death of Zheng Chuan!

430

Doesn't all these explain the problem clearly enough?

431

If I didn't tell you all this, I'm afraid that when you reunite with Qin Haoran,

432

you would be like your father, dying an untimely death!

433

Enough! Don't say any more.

434

Sorry.

435

It must be very painful for you to know all this.

436

But I don't want to see you lying on this bed in a depressed state.

437

You have a choice.

438

If you want to investigate your father's death, I can help you.

439

If you don't want to face all this anymore,

440

you can also choose

441

to go back to Japan with me.

442

I'll wait for you

443

to stand up again.

444

[Jinfeng District Police Station]

445

Leader Zhang.

446

Police Officer Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you again this time.

447

No trouble at all. But this matter happened more than forty years ago.

448

It won't be easy at all if we really want to find anything.

449

It's all right. This is already very good.

450

There are altogether over six hundred households in the three villages.

451

I will check them one by one. I don't believe that I can't find any clues.

452

Okay.

453

I'm sorry to disturb you. I have a few questions to ask you.

454

- I'm sorry.

- Thank you.

455

Hello, sorry to disturb you. Do you know about the archaeological team that came here forty years ago?

456

I don't know anything. Ask someone else.

457

Thank you.

458

Hello.

459

May I know if you are from this village?

460

No, I'm not from here.

461

[Wangfu Hospital]

462

Don't force yourself to do it.

463

Do your best!

464

Young lady, are you looking for the wrong person?

465

All of us in this village

466

have the surname "Li." There aren't any other surnames.

467

Auntie, are you sure?

468

Of course. There is no one with another surname.

469

Wife,

470

have you become muddle-headed?

471

Someone with a different surname did marry into our village.

472

That year didn't Old Li from the end of the village

473

marry a Widow Liu from outside?

474

That Widow Liu even brought with her a young boy.

475

How would I remember this?

476

When I married you that year,

477

didn't that old man Li already die from illness?

478

That's right, too.

479

Uncle, do you remember the surname of the child who Widow Liu brought here?

480

I think it was "Ma."

481

That child was really stubborn. He refused to change his surname.

482

Later, Old Li even complained to me.

483

A few years after Widow Liu passed away, Little Ma also left the village.

484

Do you know where he went?

485

Where did he go? I have no impression. I really don't know.
