Episode 8

Right when the stock market opened, it grew ten cents.

Kerui grew another ten cents. It has been rising all day.

Let's buy some.

Good news! Good news!

It is said that they have successfully developed Gankejing.

I think Kerui will have amazing stock performance. Its price will rise, for sure!

Is it true, that your company has successfully developed Gankejing?

Yes, is it?

Is it true that your company received official approval for the medicine?

Yes, did you?

For my company, I will make an official statement.

That the reporter Mr.Chen, without the knowledge of my company,

released and publicized information about my company's

new medicinal experimentation and research.

They have leaked serious and confidential information from our company.

Because of this, we have brought up strong protests

to the press company.

We demand that they take back all newspapers,

and delete all relevant information on the internet.

We have also asked for a public apology from the company.

Then is the information that Chen Shu released, true?

Is it true that the Gankejing development has entered the final stage?

Yes, has it?

The question this reporter asked is considered classified information.

I have no comments to give.

We have discovered that the reporter Mr. Chen

has reported on information about Kerui before.

May I ask if this a planned publicity stunt by Kerui?

Yes, a publicity stunt?

You may interpret it however you want.

But I want to tell everyone,

we have already sent the press company and reporter

a demand letter from our lawyer.

Based on the attitudes of the company, we may take further legal action.

Kerui Gankejing development is close to success

Reporter: Chen Shu

Chairman Wang! Chairman Wang, answer some more questions!

I will repeat one more time. Chairman Wang

will not answer anyone's questions. Thank you.

Is it true that your company received official approval?

Chairman Wang! Please let me pass, excuse me.

Excuse me, Chairman Wang!

Chairman Wang? Chairman Wang!

- Chairman Wang. - What are you doing?

I have something I need to ask you. What is happening?

Tang Hong, do you need me to...

We can talk in the car.

What do you need from me?

Chairman Wang,

the news that Gankejing is about to receive official approval from

the National Medical Products Administration is obviously false.

I am in charge of the research and development department.

Without my approval, you cannot announce to the public

any false information about the pharmaceutical drug.

Earlier in the press conference, I clarified

that a reporter named Chen Shu leaked

confidential information without authorization.

Those reporters may believe it, but I sure do not.

You first bribed the reporter and told him to announce

the news of the successful development of Gankejing.

Then, you came forward to try and hold them accountable.

With this back and forth, any normal person would become misled by you.

They would believe that Gankejing was about to become successfully developed.

This is the trick that you are trying to play, in order to raise the stock prices.

Gankejing is, indeed, about to become successfully developed.

We will be able to receive the National Medical

Products Administration's official approval very soon.

How is this possible?

We are still in the first phase of clinical trials.

We are far from it being able to notify the National Medical Products Administration.

Actually, I have already hired a new research and development team.

They are very determined and hard-working.

Gankejing has already passed the stability test and sampling inspection.

No. That is impossible.

No one could complete it in such a short amount of time.

How is it impossible? This is the reality.

Little Meng, you are no longer an employee at Kerui.

I gave you an opportunity in the past but you didn't cherish it.

Whether or not I am at Kerui is not important.

I don't want to stay at a company like Kerui, anyway.

But Gankejing is what I painstakingly worked to create.

I will never allow it to become a tool for you to make profits.

Tao Hong, please show our guest the way out.

I have all the research and development documentation regarding Gankejing.

If you continue to deceive the consumers...

If you continue to deceive the consumers, I

will release all the documents to the press.

Did you hear me? I won't give up easily.

Did you hear me?

Mr. Hao is amazing.

He recommended some stocks to us.

Mr. Hao, could you spare me a few minutes?

Give me one second. I have something on my hands

right now. When I'm done, I'll come and find you.

There are a few grandmas and grandpas who want you to recommend

some stocks to them. Just a few sentences is enough.

Thank you! Thank you!

Hurry! Hurry, he is here!

Mr. Hao is here! We love listening to you talk.

Hello, everyone. I have limited time, so I will just keep it short.

It is true that it had a surge, but you all should focus on

the high-tech concept stocks.

For example, Wanningxin Agriculture,

Fangda Pharmaceuticals, Fangda Tech,

and even Kerui Pharmaceuticals: all of these stocks you can buy.

Got it! Kerui! I wanted to buy it a long time ago!

Let's buy it!

I told you!

Mr. Hao, my old wife is sick

and I only have a little bit of money. I have to rely on this to make money.

When I make money, I will come to thank you personally. Thank you!

Wait! Wait a second. How about, these couple of days,

you find a time and sell all your stocks to put into the bank.

Sell? The market is so great right now, and we have your guidance.

How could I sell all of it?

I still have to buy a house for my son.

Thank you! Thank you!

Director Yang, this is Kerui's conspiracy.

They first found a reporter to release an article,

then they will say that the reporter released

confidential information, and are taking legal action.

In reality, they just used it to spread and publicize the information.

Ever since this information was released,

Kerui's stock has been growing at an abnormal rate.

I understand.

Should we open up a case and investigate this?

Open a case? Do you have evidence?

First, you have no evidence; and secondly, you didn't receive a report.

At this point, it is all just based on your speculations.

We cannot...

just because of a fluctuation in stock prices, open up a case and investigate.

Don't you believe that Kerui has issues?

It doesn't matter whether or not I believe.

In the end, we need evidence to speak.

Isn't this obvious?

Isn't the whole point of the establishment of the

Economic Investigation Division for this cause?

What cause?

Jiaqi,

how much do you know about Wang Bolin?

Even if it is as you said it was, that he first released the information,

and you rashly go to investigate it,

what can you discover?

Then, what do you think we should do?

Let me think.

- Hey, Zhiyuan. - Yes?

- Come with me real quick. - Yes.

Close the door.

Let me give you a task. Go to the trading market and check to see

if anyone is holding more than 5% of Kerui's shares.

Under the regulations, if anyone holds more than 5% then

there must be a notification of a potential tender offer.

This shouldn't be hard to look up.

Director Yang, even though I studied finance,

but I don't know much about stocks.

Wu Jiaqi knows a lot about it. What about I call her over?

No.

When it comes to Kerui, Wu Jiaqi

has too many personal elements involved.

Zhiyuan,

after the establishment of the Economic Investigation Division,

why did we hire so many of you high-performing students?

So that you can learn to apply your knowledge.

Look at the books on my table.

I have been learning as I work as well.

There is another thing you must remember clearly.

The job you are doing is not a normal job.

You are investigating a case.

Do not allow your own interests or hobbies

affect your own judgment.

I understand. I'm sorry, Director.

If you have any problems, notify me directly.

Yes.

3 kilos of shrimp,

And two oyster.

What else...

I knew you said you were going to buy me dinner.

I didn't expect here at all.

What's going on? Did you hit the jackpot?

No. I will turn it in if I did.

Then, what are you doing? And you are all dressed up. Who is it for?

For you.

We haven't seen each other for days.

Don't I look pretty?

Pretty. You look pretty in anything.

I have been too busy lately to spend time with you.

No. I was thinking about eating in.

But then you called me and told me you got promoted.

We must have a big meal to celebrate.

All right. Let's celebrate

and spend time together.

A lobster, please.

Wait! Wait!

That's too expensive.

It's all right. I am paying.

My sales are so good lately that my salary almost doubled.

Take the order, please.

I am back, Old Meng.

Can you give me a hand?

Old Meng, did you forget to turn off the gas?

Nerd. You know nothing but writing.

Old Meng!

Old Meng! Wake up!

Let's have a proper big meal.

I can't drink. I am driving.

I ordered the nice one. Aren't you going to try it?

I can't. I am driving.

We can take it back home.

Congrats on your promotion.

Thank you, Honey.

I am not finishing it.

Hurry up.

Right, I remember you told me that your job is to open accounts for clients

and offer them stock recommendations.

But I saw the news saying that the stock market was not good.

The stocks I recommended all went up.

So there were a lot of people asking me to open accounts for them.

Wow, you are the god of stock now.

Me? No way. Professor Hao is the god of stock.

Him again.

I have a lot to learn.

I must learn from him.

What? Are you upset?

Why am I upset?

But I heard that

there are many illegal operations

in your business.

Don't ever do that.

I know.

Hurry up. You've lost weight lately.

Brother Yuan, it's your dream to be a police officer.

Since I got into this company,

I felt like I have found my dream.

You have only worked for a while.

It's a great era now.

It's full of opportunities.

Every industry is experiencing innovation.

I think we will be able to change the generation

if we can offer funds to

those self-starters who have visions.

I don't think this idea came from you.

It's from Hao Xiaoqiang, isn't it?

All he talks are

dreams, ambitions, and eras.

They are so abstract.

Xiaohui, I think

normal people like you and me

are mostly following our own life patterns.

There are only a few people who can be a legend.

I just want you to be safe and happy.

That's all I ask for.

Someone will be leading the trend even if we follow our own patterns.

Only after I started working did I realize that

people can change the world.

Brother Yuan, you should have dreams, too.

Otherwise, you will be left behind.

Xiaohui, you just got this new job.

I know you are still excited about it.

But you need to know what to believe.

You must be able to see it.

How am I not seeing it?

Brother Yuan, I had so many things to say today.

But can you stop lecturing me?

I am not lecturing you. I am reminding you. I don't want you to make mistakes.

You are not reminding me. You are criticizing me.

I can't tell if I am talking to my boyfriend

or a police officer who is on duty.

Xiaohui.

Lei, what's going on?

What?

Okay, got it. I will be there.

I can't stay with you.

I can't drive you home, either.

Take a cab. Be careful.

Text me when you get home.

You can pack these.

Don't be upset.

I am used to it.

Be safe.

Director Yang.

What's going on?

Kerui's development manager, Meng Wei, is dead.

Xiang Yuan is heading out.

Let's go!

Wait!

What's wrong?

I forgot I am not a Crime Offense officer anymore.

This...

Xia Yuan should be going to the scene.

We shouldn't go.

Are we going to do nothing?

I will have you do it when it's our turn.

If you are bored,

I have many questions about this book

that I want to ask you about.

Sit, sit.

Meng Wei.

He is an important role in Kerui.

He happened to die now.

Is it a murder or a suicide?

Where are my questions?

Director Yang, I want to go to the bathroom.

Sure.

Where are my questions?

Officer Xia.

Lei, what's going on?

He died. His family called 110.

Murder?

We don't know yet.

The patrol arrived right away.

His wife insisted that it's murder,

so the case was submitted to us.

Did we verify his identity?

Yes. Kerui's Development Manager, Meng Wei.

Kerui again.

Yes.

The patrol has arrived.

Yes. They got the call.

Deputy Xia.

The crime scene has been contaminated.

We won't be able to get traces.

Where's the body?

Kitchen.

What's the cause of death?

We think it's carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide poisoning.

His face was calm.

Even if it was the carbon monoxide poisoning,

he would have struggled before he passed out.

Run a test. See if there's anything odd.

Yes.

Where is Old Chen?

Old Chen, Deputy Xia asks for you.

Deputy Xia.

Did you find anything?

By looking at it,

there are two overlapped fingerprints on the switch.

The top one belongs to his wife,

the bottom one belongs to him.

No other fingerprint?

For now, only these two.

Brother Yuan, Director Wang is here.

Director Wang, this is Deputy Xia of our division.

Hello.

- Thank you for your work. - It's all right.

We just got here. Please brief us on the situation here.

His wife called 110.

When we just arrived,

there was some gas remaining in the room.

We supposde it was suicide.

Suicide?

Why is that?

He had depression.

We have received calls from his wife twice

before today.

He was trying to commit suicide.

We have been here and solved it.

We put a lot of effort into talking him out of it.

We reminded his wife several times

to keep an eye on him and give him his meds on time.

Who knew

this would still happen?

But even if he had depression,

we shouldn't assume that it was suicide.

We found his death note

in here.

The dead one has died. The living one must live on.

It's a relief for me.

Sorry, you can't get in.

Police badge. I am from Beijiang Public Security Bureau.

Hey, you can't come in.

Little Liu, don't you recognize me?

I do. You are from the Economics Crime Division.

We are still investigating the scene. No one is allowed to come in.

Thank you.

- Xia Yuan. - Quiet.

Xia Yuan, are you in there?

Who is there?

Yo, why are you here?

How nice of your division to cut into others' cases.

They won't let me in. I just need to see the scene.

This is the crime scene. Outsiders mustn't come in.

Don't you know the rules?

Xia Yuan, don't show off your power.

This is clearly related to Kerui. Do you know why I am here?

Of course, I do.

But this is not the place you should be.

Watch out. Outsiders mustn't come in.

Yes.

Where're his family?

Upstairs, Brother.

Mrs. Meng.

This is Officer Xia from the Criminal Investigation Division.

Please sit.

You called the police?

I did.

Why do you think he was murdered?

He promised to have dinner at my mom's place today.

He couldn't have killed himself.

Also, his depression has gotten much better.

Officer Xia, believe me!

Meng Wei couldn't have killed himself! He couldn't have!

Please calm down. Sit, please.

Mrs. Meng,

what are the reasons that he couldn't have killed himself?

I am his wife.

Don't I know him?

But as far as I know, he had depression.

He had tried to commit suicide before, is that right?

It was a year ago.

He had gotten much better after treatment

so he couldn't have done it. No way.

Depression treatment requires taking medicines.

Has he been taking medicines by instructions?

I work at the hospital. I always buy his meds for him on time.

These are his meds?

Yes.

Look carefully. They are unwrapped.

It's possible that he has never taken them.

Hadn't he?

How could he do this?

How?

Mrs. Meng, I am sorry for your loss.

Please recall

if there has been anything odd lately?

He was an introvert.

He didn't like to share his thoughts.

He was in a bad mood lately.

He didn't go to work. He had been resting at home.

But he had been planning our future with me.

He said he would resign and take me on a tour. How could he have done it?

He couldn't!

You said he wanted to resign?

He said it several times.

But I know he was just saying that.

He wouldn't forfeit his work.

Have you read his death note? Is it his handwriting?

I have read it. It looks like his handwriting.

But believe me!

He wouldn't do it!

Take a rest.

Master.

What can I do?

How is it to be a deputy?

Master, don't make fun of me.

I am at the crime scene right now.

Oh, anything I can help with?

Nothing...

There's one thing.

Wu Jiaqi from your division is here.

She insisted to come in.

Master, you must teach her the rules like how you taught me.

Yuan, you must know that

these two divisions

are one team. You can't separate them.

Not to mention that

we will be working with each other in the future.

Most of the Economic Crime Division are new grads.

You must help me train them.

Master, you can send someone else. Wu Jiaqi is...

What's wrong with her?

All right, I will teach her

just like how you taught me.

Okay.

Little Liu, let her in.

What did you get?

You are not a criminal investigation officer. You don't need to know.

So you've got nothing.

It's all right. I can help you if you beg me.

Don't be mistaken.

I only let you in because my master told me to.

He said we will be

working together a lot.

We should at least show you how we solve cases

so that you won't slow down our process in the future.

Deputy Xia, I am a police officer, too.

I was trained properly.

I know what to do and what not to do.

Then, what do you spot?

Was it suicide?

I am asking you.

I don't think it is.

Why?

I can't tell.

But I think he wouldn't have done it.

Did you get trained properly?

It doesn't work now?

Let me show you what professionalism is.

Meng Wei's death can't be suicide logically.

Through the background investigation,

we found out that he and his wife were a loving couple.

I can also tell it by talking to his wife.

Then even if he decided to kill himself,

he wouldn't have picked this time and this method.

He knew his wife was coming home and turned on the gas.

It would have been a disaster if his wife had turned on the light

and caused an explosion.

Would he want his wife to die with him?

I don't think so.

You have a point.

When I was out there,

I heard Mrs. Meng talking about murder.

It's possible.

Not necessarily.

We must focus on the evidence and the investigation.

You sound like Director Yang.

Of course. He is a master.

Deputy Xia.

Meng Wei's boss wants to see Mrs. Meng. He is downstairs.

Wang Bolin?

Yes.

Tell Mrs. Meng to meet him downstairs.

Look sharp.

Chief Wang! Meng Wei! He... He...

I know. I am sorry for your loss.

Actually, I have noticed that he was unwell and told him to have a rest.

But he cared about his work so much.

It was me forcing him to take the time off this time.

I didn't know...

I wouldn't have let him take the days off.

It might have been better to be around his colleagues.

How would he kill himself?

What are we going to do now?

I am responsible for this.

You knew our company was going through a hard time this year.

His new products didn't have any progress.

He was under a lot of pressure.

He didn't like to talk.

He always keeps his thoughts to himself.

Chief Wang,

don't say that.

Meng Wei used to tell me that

you helped him a lot.

You valued him and his work.

He wanted to repay you.

Mrs. Meng, don't worry.

We will take care of your family.

Also, this is my gesture, please take it.

I can't take it, Chief Wang.

You must take it.

We have formed a funeral team.

They will send people over to help you.

It's late.

Have you found a place to stay tonight?

We live at my mom's place now.

Oh.

Remember,

come find me if you need anything.

Thank you, Chief Wang.

I am sorry for your loss.

Mrs. Meng, may I see the package he gave you?

Is anything wrong about it?

It's all right.

It's lucky to have such a boss.

Mr. Meng... Mr. Meng died of unnatural causes.

So we need to perform an autopsy on him.

Of course, after you agree to.

Autopsy?

It's a standard procedure.

Only after that can we determine the case type

so that you can get an answer.

Yes.

- Lei. - Brother Yuan.

Prepare the application and have Mrs. Meng sign it.

All right, they are taking some stuff away. Make a list.

And have Mrs. Meng sign it.

Yes. Mrs. Meng, please come with me.

Question.

Why did you check her money?

Didn't you say you were trained? Why did you ask such an easy question?

There're certain things I am not good at.

Just tell me.

Mrs. Meng found out her husband was dead after she got off work.

The bank was already closed by then.

Are you saying that

the money was prepared ahead?

He knew that Meng Wei would die.

Not necessarily.

He is a businessman. It's normal for him to keep cash at home.

It's just a little detail.

It doesn't confirm anything.

Let's talk about how you found the scene?

You are sharper than a hound.

Did my master tell you to come?

No. I came on my own.

You are disobeying the rules.

There was nothing you could do.

You did nothing but cause trouble.

What trouble did I cause?

Do you know why I came?

Do you know what game Kerui is playing lately?

I don't.

That's your job.

Right. You wouldn't understand if I told you.

Yo,

now you are being mysterious.

Just say it.

Kerui's stock will go up for sure

when the market opens tomorrow.

Why?

Because for the past two weeks

Kerui's stock has been going up gradually.

I think someone is manipulating it.

If there is, they will need a new concept.

Unsurprisingly, the concept was released today.

The news that their new medicine was made successfully.

I didn't expect that

it would cost a man's life.

Are you saying that

Meng Wei died because of this new concept?

That's your job.

Have you told Director Yang about your theory?

I have.

He didn't say anything. He said he was busy with something else.

What else can be more important than this?

Let me tell you...

My master is an experienced officer.

He had several wounds. He has almost died many times.

You can disrespect me.

But you must respect him.

You are like a royal dog.

Not bad.

What are you saying?

Nothing.

I didn't disrespect him. I am just worried.

Meng Wei's case must have happened for a reason.

I wish you could investigate it thoroughly.

This is our work. You don't have to get into it.

Where do you get off?

Do a better favor. Turn right and right again.

Let me tell you...

You are, after all, in the Economics Crime Division. And you follow my master's lead.

You ran to the scene without permission.

You'd better report to Director Yang when you get back.

Does it matter?

Of course! It's the rule!

Check this.

This.

Come on, you guys must be hungry.

Let's eat something.

Wow!

Here it is.

Let me tell you...

This helped me to stay focused when I was on guard.

Really?

There is barbeque, too.

How is everything going?

Not so fast, Brother, we just started it.

How about this? Let me assign the work. You can get back to it later.

Little Wang, follow up with the examiner.

Tell them to issue a report as soon as possible.

Little Liu, follow up with the technical team.

Have them issue the scene report as soon as possible.

You two, go through the security footage.

Lei, you check the death note. See if it's forged.

All right, Brother, don't worry.

- Haiqing. - Director.

Which stage is Kerui's loan in? Stop it right away.

The verification process is finished. You have signed off already.

Kerui's Development Manager died yesterday.

Died?

Really? Where did you hear that from? Is it true?

It can't be wrong.

Why can't Kerui just stay quiet and do their business?

But our loan process is all legal.

Even if they go south, it has nothing to do with us.

I am worried about the fund.

Once Kerui can't hold it anymore

and their share price drops,

we won't be able to make up for the loan.

I know. You are right.

Kerui was rushing it, so I told them to fund Kerui after you signed off.
