[Hello Procurator]

[Episode 4]

Uncle,

you didn't ask me out

just for lunch, did you?

I heard you closed the deal

with Wei Qingming

about their legal counsel.

Yeah.

We just signed the contract.

Good.

It seems Ren Tianyu

is quite capable.

You got a great help.

Did you check his background?

Yes.

He's clean.

I'll meet

this Ren Tianyu some time.

OK, I'll set up a meeting.

I'm done. Take your time.

I'll leave first in a while.

I've got time.

Let me give you a lift.

It's OK.

Zhang is coming to pick me up.

Uncle, for old times' sake,

for so many years,

Zhang is the only driver you trust.

Well,

you know,

when you get old,

you become timid.

The wicked lawyer?

That's quite a coincidence.

It is.

You met him first at the party,

and then in the courtroom.

He held the umbrella for you at the bar.

Now you rent his condo.

What a kind of fate is it

between you and him?

You also think so, right?

According to this storyline,

next he'll probably

save you in danger.

He has saved me.

There must be

some kind of vendetta between your families.

He found out in the party

that you're the sole heiress of Jiutai Group,

and tried to remain close to you.

Perhaps,

he intends to kidnap you

and blackmail your dad.

Cut it out.

Say something sensible.

Sensible?

I think my deduction is sensible.

Think about it.

Normally two strangers

wouldn't meet so often.

Dear,

we're talking about China,

whose population is over a billion.

I don't agree.

It's nothing suspicious.

You're so naive.

You mean I'm silly?

Yes.

But I still found it weird.

What are the chances?

Do you think there are

other possibilities?

Yes.

He's in love with you,

so he tries to remain close.

Really?

No.

He's seeking revenge.

Knock it off, or I'll smack you.

Come on.

Smack me. Come on!

I'll go look around

your bedroom.

The Chief Procurator

[Wang Wei fund-raising fraud] asks me to work with

[Wang Wei fund-raising fraud] Director Yin on this case.

Han Lu, read them in.

Yes.

In the fund-raising fraud by Wang Wei,

there are in all

192 accounts that have received

illicit money.

According to the statements

from the banks,

we found

the cash flow in this case

follows a regular pattern.

The money in all the accounts

is transferred to 3 of those accounts

prior to the 10th of each month.

And more than half of the money

in the 3 accounts

is transferred to several underground banks

on the 11th of each month.

It seems the 10th day is the key.

What day is it?

Wang Wei goes to prison

to visit his half-brother, Xia Hai

on this day.

We'll question Wang Wei

and dig up his crime.

Director Yin will lure Xia Hai into confession.

Let's get moving.

When you find

useful information,

report to me immediately.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

The amount of money involved

in Wang Wei's case is several billion.

He's totally incapable

of laundering money via underground banks.

We suspect that

the mastermind

is inmate Xia Hai.

It's unlikely.

We're also surprised.

But all evidence

points to him.

Your reason?

Wang Wei is

Xia Hai's half-brother,

and also the only person

who can meet Xia Hai.

But he's in prison

where all his activities

are in camera.

Both you and I know it well

it's impossible.

I got it now.

If there's a loophole

in the prison,

it'll be a serious problem.

We're not sure yet.

So we must act right now.

Do you wanna question him?

Xia Hai doesn't know

Wang Wei has been arrested.

We don't know

if Xia Hai can contact

other people outside the prison.

Neither do we know

if there's a loophole

in the prison management.

A rash move

will only alert him.

I see.

What can I do for you?

I can coordinate

with the prison about the procedures

for your operation.

Thanks.

They're supposed to meet today.

If Wang Wei doesn't show up,

Xia Hai will be suspicious.

We need to make an excuse.

Xia Hai.

Yes, sir.

Your brother Wang Wei called

that he's sick.

Don't worry about him.

He'll come next month.

Yes, sir.

We don't know

if Xia Hai and Wang Wei

have a contingent plan,

which means

how Xia Hai confirms

this information

if Wang Wei doesn't show up.

Will he stay put

or try other ways to contact him?

We're not clear about that,

though Xia Hai is

suspicious now.

Keep a keen eye

on Xia Hai.

Find every possible way

to bait him.

Since it's rotation,

try to gather more experience.

In your profile,

it says you're good at field control.

It's Wednesday today,

the inmates' day off.

Instead of going to work,

they're gathered in the Activity Room

and watched by prison guards.

Go taking a look.

See if there are loopholes.

Be very careful.

And take care.

In case of an emergency,

report immediately.

Yes, sir.

Consider it done.

Good.

Ma'am,

I've told you everything I know.

What else do you wanna ask?

I bet you haven't told us everything.

Are you in?

What do you mean?

I'm giving you another chance.

[Judicial Methodology, Director of Organization Department My Life's Footprints, Breathtaking Scenery]

Cut to Xia Hai.

Sure.

Will Xia Hai make a move?

Director Yin's speculation

is right for the most times.

Are we sure

Jiang Wenjing doesn't have to know?

This is also an investigation tactic.

You've got to learn.

What do you do?

Odd jobs.

What kind of odd jobs?

Delivery,

courier,

shoe salesman.

What about programing?

No.

Can you create a website?

No.

Who do you transfer money

on the 11th of each month?

Those are my creditors.

What did you do that owed them so much?

Gambling.

On what?

Where?

And with whom?

I don't remember.

I've confessed that

I swindled people out of their money.

Why are you still pumping me

about this?

You swindled them?

Are you capable of it alone?

To make it happen,

you need TTT website

and programming.

Who designed the website

and who's your programmer?

The employees you hired?

I think they're less capable than you.

Let me remind you.

Who do you visit

on the 10th of each month?

You rascal!

Stop it!

Go to hell!

Give him a lesson!

Stop!

Get him!

Squat! Squat! Stay down!

Hurry! Squat! Now!

Stay down!

Take him away!

Take him!

Go!

Take him to the infirmary.

Cut to infirmary.

That looks severe.

You need disinfection.

Zoom in.

He made such a fuss

in order to get to that landline.

Raise your right arm.

Higher.

Does it hurt?

No.

OK.

Hello?

OK.

Sure.

Wait here for a while.

I'll be back soon

to dress the injury.

OK.

Why does it have to be Jiang Wenjing?

He can use the landline, can't he?

That's an interphone.

He can't contact the outside.

What are you doing?

Who are you calling?

My mom.

Your mom?

Yes.

She's ill.

You could've applied

to the guards

for a call to your mom.

Why did you do it

in such a furtive way?

A guard told me she's ill

and couldn't come.

I was impulsive.

I just want to know

how my mom is.

Well,

is it appropriate?

I'm just curious

how he

passed the information out

under our very noses.

Are you sure

about not informing Jiang Wenjing?

She is collaborating with us.

My mom is illiterate.

But she said knowledge changes our lives.

She went on a hunger strike

to make me go back to school.

I worked hard

and was admitted to a great college.

To pay my tuitions and living expenses,

She didn't tell me she was ill.

If I didn't go home on a whim,

I wouldn't have known

how long she'd keep it from me.

Forget about lying.

We've checked

your deposit accounts.

They're all

underground bank accounts.

Once you make a deposit,

they will

convert the money

into US dollars

and transfer it to a specific account.

The issuing bank of this account

is located abroad.

And the account holder is Chatchai.

It's not long since you came to the city.

How did you meet those people?

There's a mastermind behind you.

Tell me who it is.

Wang Wei,

give it a second thought and tell me,

who is the man behind you?

Your attitude now

and your role in the crime

make a difference in penalty.

You're clear of it.

Did someone order you to do it?

Yes.

Who?

Xia Hai.

Your relationship with him?

He's my half-brother,

and is now serving his time in prison.

I visit him each month.

Are you close?

Not really.

What's his role

in this case?

I learned

accounting and programing

and designed a website,

which made me some money

and enabled me

to live a luxurious life

that I had never imagined.

When I went home

and found my mom's ill,

my world collapsed.

I regretted so much

why I didn't

keep a saving.

Otherwise,

I would've been able

to pay for her treatment.

To treat my mom,

I thought of

those rich friends

of mine.

So I swindled them out of their money

for my mom's treatment.

When she found out,

she chewed me up

and swore she'd never

use the illicit money.

On the visiting day

I looked forward to,

she didn't come.

I thought she must

be seriously ill.

Or she would come.

I wonder if my mom

is OK now.

In the beginning,

he was the one

who contacted Chatchai.

Xia Hai wasn't put in prison then.

He speaks English

and knows programming.

He and Chatchai created

TTT website,

and asked me to hire

some people

as fake donors

to receive

new donors' money.

Then we split the money.

In what proportions?

Chatchai takes 60%

and we take 40%.

But Xia Hai told me

to cook the books each time

to deduct Chatchai's money.

The proportion

is also set by Xia Hai each time,

and it's not fixed.

Later, Xia Hai

was put behind bars due to another crime.

How did you contact him?

I went to meet him

each month

on the visiting day,

and told him

how much I received.

He would tell me

how much Chatchai can get.

Then I'd do as he told.

It's not easy to discuss this

in the prison.

Codes.

Before he went to jail,

he taught me a set of codes.

If you skip a visit,

what will he do?

Inmates can call their family.

In case of an emergency,

to avoid Chatchai from being anxious,

he'll

call me in another way.

I really miss her very much.

This is

an interphone.

I can't call her.

Can...

Can I use your cellphone?

I really miss my mom.

Tomorrow is visiting day.

You can go taking a look.

It's Wednesday today,

the inmates' day off.

You can go taking a look.

See if there are loopholes.

Are you hurt?

No.

I fell over.

Don't belittle it.

Go to the infirmary.

It's OK.

I'm fine.

No.

You can't get injured in prison.

I order you

to go.

Right now.

Xia Hai,

you're full of lies.

How could I trust you with that?

You said you swindled money

to pay for your mom's treatment.

Do you think I'm a fool?

Or are you consoling yourself?

To be honest,

I told you so much

because I saw you had a phone

in your pocket.

I really hope

to know my mom's

physical condition.

You can have my phone.

No.

You dial.

I won't touch it.

OK.

182 100...

Start recording.

OK.

It's Xia Hai.

You know what to say, right?

We'll start recording.

Hello, Uncle Zhao.

Hello.

Where's my mom?

How is she?

Your mom's sick

seriously.

I come over to help.

Do we still own the house?

The last thing

that worths some money

is still yours.

Your mom refused to sell it,

saying housing price is over 10 thousand now.

My mom's situation

was critical last time.

How is she now?

It gets worse.

I don't know what to do.

I'm waiting for your call.

Her life matters more.

Sell the house.

Where is the ownership certificate?

Uncle Zhao, check

under the mattress.

It should be there.

Her life matters.

OK.

So long.

Housing price?

What does that mean?

It's code.

It means

I received 100 million

this month.

100 million?

What about the rest?

Do I have to ask one by one?

"Your mom's sick" means I'm fine.

Certificate means

to erase 30 million from the account books.

Under the mattress means

to transfer the money soon.

Xia Hai, come with us.

When did you find out?

When I realized

the doctor had been gone for long.

Did you believe what Xia Hai said?

Only the part before his mom

was mad at him.

Do you know what your problem is?

I was kept in the dark.

You should know

it's against our principle

to lend inmates our phones.

That's why you staged the show,

so it wasn't against the rules.

You knew it was my plan,

why did you do it?

Because if I didn't,

your plan

would have ended up a total failure.

Jiang Wenjing,

you know

what Xia Hai did?

What did he do?

You gave him your phone

not knowing anything about him.

I got you, didn't I?

Wasn't everything

in your control?

Director Yin,

if I didn't cooperate with you,

how would your plan work?

Are you satisfied with my performance?

While serving his time,

Xia Hai directed an international financial fraud

involving a huge amount of money.

One call from him

could destroy countless families.

You think

you can accomplish everything

on your own like a hero?

All procurators

work in a team.

No one goes solo.

Solo?

OK.

You worked in a team

to keep me in the dark.

Director Yin,

you're selfish

and arrogant.

I am arrogant on this matter.

But the fact is,

you broke the rules

because of arrogance,

but my arrogance

helped me crash Xia Hai.

If this is how work is done

in the future,

this job

is meaningless to me.

Jiang Wenjing,

I understand that excellent graduates

are ambitious.

But is your behavior

flawless?

She's too opinionated.

But I have to say she's promising.

You made this plan because you knew

she'd do it.

However, your plan

is too risky.

My plan

is just the right one for her.

Smart people

would go over all

your tests.

If so,

I'd rather make her accept the tests

willingly.

What if she really resigns

for good?

She'll come back.

Are you OK?

Why would I not be?

Weren't you eloquent

confronting Director Yin?

Now you're crying alone.

Still mad at him?

I'm mad at myself.

I almost believed

Xia Hai back there.

If I trusted him,

how many people would have become his victims?

Wasn't Director Yin

in control?

Nothing would go wrong.

Why did you argue with him?

I was angry.

Besides,

I was hot-headed.

I've never lost

in an argument.

Alright.

Feel better.

Don't let Director Yin

see you like this.

Yan Lyu,

I warn you.

Don't tell him

about me crying.

Or I'd sue you

for privacy infringement.

You're gonna resign.

Why do you care if he'll know?

Who said I'm gonna resign?

You did.

I overheard at the door.

Jiang Wenjing,

how could you say that?

Yan Lyu,

Director Yin is so busy.

He'll forget it in a while, right?

Go get your bag.

We're gonna call it a day.

Ma'am, please go home.

I want to see my son.

One visit a month.

Why can't I visit my son?

I want to talk to your superior.

Your name isn't

on the visitors' list.

I can't let you in.

I come every month.

Why am I not allowed to today?

Your uniform

is different from his.

You're his superior.

No, I'm not.

I'm a procurator.

Procurator?

Yes.

Good, procurator,

discipline them.

They won't let me see my son.

Supervise them.

That's not what we

procurators do.

I don't care.

This is all

I'm asking for.

I want to see my son.

Once a month.

I've been waiting

for the rest of time

for the visiting day to come.

I understand.

You see,

at my age,

I don't know

if I can see the day

my son comes out.

I'm counting the days now.

How many times can I visit him?

This is

so unexpected.

How about this?

Please tell me

your son's name.

Zhao Dezhu.

That's my son's name.

OK, just a minute.

Hello.

Procurator Zhang.

Would you please check

why Zhao Dezhu's visitation

is canceled today?

I see.

Thank you.

Zhao Dezhu,

hit and run causing death.

Yeah.

Can I see him?

You can't.

Last month, your son

had a fight with inmates.

Now he's under penalty.

According to the rules,

he can't meet his family.

The prison must have

informed you.

No way.

My son would never

have a fight with others.

I won't talk to you anymore.

I want to see your superior.

I'll file a complaint.

This is outrageous.

You mistreat the civilians.

I'll sue you!

And the prison!

Ma'am!

What are you doing here?

I'm Li Yuzhen's lawyer.

You go in first.

I don't know you take small cases.

I need to work for treatment.

Is your hand better?

Sort of.

She passed out because of you?

I think so.

But I was meticulous

about my attitude.

Go home.

Or Mrs. Li'd be enraged

when she sees you.

When she wakes up,

call me if there's anything I can do.

I'll pay for her treatment.

Good.

And my counsel fee

you owe me

last time.

Man, are you destitute?

Thank you.

Who are you?

And who are you?

Hello, Mrs. Li.

I'm your lawyer,

Ren Tianyu.

My lawyer?

Sir, listen.

I'm gonna sue the prison,

especially the female officer.

She wouldn't let me visit my son.

Please reconsider it.

[General recording] I can only solve

[General recording] one of your problems.

Do you want to sue

the female procurator

or meet your son

as soon as possible?

Meet my son of course.

Alright.

As far as I know,

you and the procurator

have a silly misunderstanding.

She didn't mean

to prevent you from meeting your son.

She's just not good at talking.

You're not good at it.

She's great at it.

Quite a chatterbox.

Sit down.

No, thanks.

I'm good.

You make me dizzy.

Sit down. Come on.

Sir,

it's been years.

I have one foot in the grave.

[General recording] To visit my son,

I moved

close to the prison.

But they won't let me

see him.

They're so inhumane.

My son was a good boy

in childhood.

He was so obedient.

Whatever I asked him to do,

he obliged.

Even after he got in jail,

he asked a friend

to cover my living expenses.

I'm clear

of everything you said.

If you want to see

your son soon,

you have to be honest with my questions.

Sure.

I'll tell you

everything I know.

As you mentioned,

your son's friend

gave you money for your living, right?

Who is it?

Zhang.

What does it have to do

with me visiting my son?

I'm asking the question here.

If you refuse to answer,

I can't help you.

Alright.

Alright. I'll be honest.

Zhang

is a friend

my son made

before he went in jail.

They've been close

for over a decade.

They were in the same

transport team.

They were both drivers.

After my son went in jail,

he often comes by to visit

and brings money

and gifts.

He's so good to me

like a son.

We owe him a big deal.

What does he do now?

He's a rich man's driver.

His salary is high.

My son is in prison.

If not,

he'd make much more than Zhang.

What's Zhang's full name?

It's...

um...

Zhang Youxin.

Yeah, it's Zhang Youxin.

He has a scar on his face.

Looks fierce.

But my son is cooler.

My son is cooler than him.

Alright, Mrs. Li,

I got everything I need.

I'll solve the visitation

as soon as possible.

Well, when can I

visit my son?

Wait for notice.

Thank you.

Check this Zhang Youxin.

OK.

[People's Procuratorate of Xinzhou]

[People's Procuratorate of Xinzhou Disciplinary Measure about Mr. Yin Chuan]

[Prison of Xinzhou Prosecution Office of the Prison]

Come in.

Procurator Zhang, you ask for me?

Director Yin is right about you.

Procurator Zhang,

I...

Never mind.

Director Yin meant good.

Forget about what he said.

Yeah.

I know

my attitude was bad.

Good then.

Keep the good work.

Don't ruin

his trust.

He got a disciplinary measure

for your behavior.

Yes.

Don't worry.

I'll do my best.

Your car is still under repair?

It's an old car.

Too many problems.

Thank you

for the drive.

It's not for free.

Ten Yuan per kilometer.

I don't accept the deal.

Did you capture the foreigner

behind Xia Hai?

Yes.

He wanted to take flight

and was busted at the airport.

I know,

with you leading the operation,

he'd have nowhere to escape.

But it's complicated

to recover fraud money.

They transferred tens of billions abroad.

Quite a thorny case.

But I'm sure you can handle it.

You've paved the way for our work.

How could I

let you down?

But I have to say,

your plan to use

a rookie in the prison

is quite unexpected.

You know

the purpose of it, don't you?

This is a fantastic plan

to test a newbie.

It's so...

It's so your way.

So?

Are you satisfied with the result?

Yan Lyu was a scout.

He's quite observant.

But I can feel

he's hiding something

in his heart.

So he's always tense.

Don't you think so?

What about Jiang Wenjing?

She's a headache.

Why?

She's aloof,

and quick-tongued.

But it's not completely

a bad trait.

I think

Jiang Wenjing would be

a great procurator.

You speak highly of her.

You don't?

They why would you

take the disciplinary measure for her?

I'm not taking it for her.

Yeah.

Everything is

in your plan.

You sound

like Jiang Wenjing now.

I'm not like her.

I'm not as headstrong as she is.

No, she's not headstrong.

She's clever.

You're headstrong.

Only you are.

You think she's headstrong?

What?

No, being headstrong...

There's nothing wrong about it.

Headstrong person

is also steadfast.

Being headstrong, you know...

That's not what I mean.

I'm...

just kidding.

You're the smartest.

Really.

I can say

that you're the smartest procurator.

Good night.

Hold on.

I bought the sneakers for Ke'er.

I found her shoes small for her feet

last time we went rock climbing.

Well, I don't know

how to express my gratitude.

Thank you.

Come on.

I bought them for Ke'er.

She should be the one to say that.

Mm-hmm.

It's your day off tomorrow.

Go rock climbing with Ke'er.

She told me last time

that she wanted to show you

the progress she's made.

OK.

Go home now.

Spend some time with Ke'er.

Hold on.

What do you want to say?

The WeChat official account has been approved.

I want to discuss it with you.

I've thought about it.

Put Jiang Wenjing in charge of it.

Let's supervise the content.

The young people

are more creative in the forms.

OK.

What else?

You'll need to do extra

with me on the weekends.

So go home and have some rest.
