What's that?

Have you seen it?

No.

I'm kind of scared.

Don't, don't be scared.

This place is so creepy.

Why am I floating?

Why are you lifting me?

I am only here to catch imps.

Why are you carrying me?

Are you my worshipers?

Don't be ridiculous!

What are you doing?

Don't drop me.

Where are you running off to?

What are you doing?

So many sepulchral imps!

What nonsense!

Shh!

Let's go.

Something huge is going to happen tonight.

This is exactly the aura of the Lantern Festival.

Do your best in the performance!

If you do a good job, I'll reward you.

The elements are propitious and the people are enjoying a peaceful life.

I am He Xiuqin. I died from injustice.

My dead soul can't rest in peace.

Sir, is the bird chirping?

I don't think so.

Could something have gone wrong ?

Let's go.

Young lady.

Are you the County Magistrate?

You know me?

I fell victim to the brigand.

I am nursing a grievance.

Where?

Let me touch you to feel it.

[Big Talk, God Catcher]

[Impartial in Judgement]

This stands for the opera stage.

This stands for the female spirit.

This stands for me.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The female spirit appeared in front of me.

Then I fell back.

What does the female spirit look like?

She has a big and fierce-looking mouth.

Xu, you are the County Defender.

Hurry to get people to catch her.

She is haunting our county.

Her big mouth is fierce-looking.

Catch her! We must catch her!

Catch the female spirit!

She said her name was He Xiuqin.

Who is He Xiuqin?

The widow He Xiuqin.

Guo Huan, tell us about her.

One month ago,

for unknown reasons, the widow He Xiuqin.

went to the north slope one kilometer away from the town.

Then she was attacked by the brigand.

After she died,

her corpus was set on fire.

The flames quickly

lit up the sky.

Get off it.

It hurts! It hurts!

Get down! Get down!

Xu.

About He Xiuqin’s murder case...

It has long been closed.

Brigands' evil doings have been causing populace sufferings.

But it's won't help catching the ghost.

We have to catch the brigand.

Who the hell dares to catch the brigand?

I dare!

Slap him!

You think you're capable, uh?

You want to catch the brigand.

You think you're capable, uh?

Go catch the ghost, all of you!

[Impartial in Judgement]

Wind

Fire

Thunder

Lightning

All magic spirits, invest in me

the natural force of life that can purify everything.

Let the world be, be filled with,

be filled with love.

Xu.

How much does such a splendid job cost?

Our Grandmaster exorcises ghosts in two ways.

One is the heavenly exorcism

and the other is the earthly exorcism.

Our grandmaster specializes in warding off all kinds of ghosts.

What's the price?

The heavenly exorcism is expensive.

It costs 300 copper coins once.

It is more deadly.

It can kill the ghost.

How about the cheap way?

The earthly exorcism is cheap.

It costs 150 copper coins.

But it is less powerful.

It can't kill the strongly-resentful ghost.

The ghost will only be half-dead.

It will still be able to breathe

and may let out grey smoke.

He Xiuqin harbors strong resentment.

Well.

I have to do the heavenly exorcism.

Wu.

You have been doing exorcism here for two years, right?

Have you ever paid various charges?

Calculate the charges.

Twelve months in a year.

Twelve months.

Well, look, here is the thing.

I will charge you 200 copper coins

for the heavenly exorcism.

One hundred and fifty copper coins.

One hundred and ninety.

One hundred and fifty.

Pay me 180 copper coins and I'll rid people of the ghost.

Bravo!

Um,

you pool money now.

What?

You are robbing us by charging 180 copper coins.

Well, are all you monks so money-grubbing?

I'm not a monk.

I just lost all my hair.

The whole crown of my head went bald.

You are so cheeky

to charge 180 copper coins.

I can buy one kilogram of mutton

and two old fat hens with 180 copper coins.

Why should I pay you so much?

Is he hungry?

I...

Is the exorcist you or me?

Let's compete!

Let's have a competition!

I'll throttle you!

I am capable of catching the ghost.

It's not a big deal.

We can catch the ghost by ourselves.

My wife is going to give birth to a child soon.

After we catch the ghost, I'll guard the prison.

Moreover,

we should be granted subsidies for catching the ghost.

We have to catch the ghost even if not paid.

Step down!

What are you doing?

Aren't I right, sir?

What are you doing?

Well, it's our obligation to catch the ghost!

Run!

Run!

Hurry!

Get out of the way!

Beat it, all of you!

Get away!

Dismount from the horse.

I told you to get off the horse!

Don't you dare!

Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang!

Stop!

Get lost!

County Defender Xu.

Oh, my goodness!

Is everything all right?

It's a misunderstanding.

Who got run over? Give him money.

OK.

You have money to burn, right?

It's a misunderstanding.

Get off!

Sir, I made such great efforts.

Why wouldn't County Defender Xu let me...

Why wouldn't he let me...

Get up.

The young master of Zhang's mansion

is indeed...

The young master of Zhang's mansion is indeed arrogant.

But his father

is General Zhang Ji.

He is so reckless and arrogant.

But they showed their sincerity.

Let me have a look.

Oh my... That's pretty much.

Now we have subsidies for catching spirits.

This is good.

No gambling, OK?

No.

This...

This is good.

I got to say,

your heroism

reminded me of your father.

Bullshits.

You need to let me safeguard the prison if we catch spirits.

Fine.

If this female spirit is He Xiuqin...

Did her husband Sun He die

on the battlefield not long ago?

Yes. Sun He died for the country.

Sir, I have another idea.

Spit it out.

Will it work?

Xiuqin, I'm Sun He.

[The melody lingers in the house.]

I miss you...

Miss you.

Qin.

Here is the spirit!

Stay calm.

I'm He.

I miss...

The spirit clings to him.

Stay put.

Wait for the signal of the Head Constable.

I didn't expect that we can see each other again.

Brother Sun He.

Brother?

Catch the spirit!

I can't feel my legs.

You just...

It's me.

Go after him.

Chase him!

What the hell？

Is that the Head Constable？

Yes.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Don't move.

You're too ugly to be a female spirit.

Where is your companion?

What companion?

The one on the opera stage two days ago.

That was me.

What?

I slipped accidentally

and that old man began to...

Let me feel your body

and see where you are wronged.

Bro. I'm itchy. Bro.

Itchy.

You piece of filth.

This is embarrassing.

It's your fault to pretend as a spirit.

Sun He died on the battlefield,

and you're right to pretend to be him?

It's your fault. It's your fault.

I'm seeking justice for her.

I was forced to pretend to be a spirit.

What?

Chong, who did you bring home?

Mrs. Chen, it's Guo Huan.

Oh.

Constable Guo.

I asked this good man to pretend

to be a spirit to seek justice.

Who is the good man?

It's me.

Mrs. Chen, you couldn't just do whatever you want.

I didn't.

Brigands killed Xiuqin, my daughter-in-law.

Why didn't the government go to catch them?

They were drinking maybe.

Shut up.

The government told me the case was closed

and they just let it go.

How much did you drink?

I told you to shut up.

If I didn't ask him to pretend to be a spirit,

will you stand here listening to me?

You...

Mrs. Chen, get up.

Get up.

No.

My son died on the battlefield for the country.

My daughter-in-law Xiuqin ended up like that.

I won't rest in peace even if I'm dead.

In the night my daughter-in-law died,

I met a constable.

What?

Before Xiuqin was killed,

she had been working part-time in Zhang's mansion.

It was too late and she didn't come home.

So I decided to pick her up.

Although I'm blind,

I could feel that

there were two people walking towards me.

One told me

that he was a constable.

I said I was waiting for Xiuqin,

but he insisted in walking me home

against my will.

The other man

did't say a word at all,

and he didn't follow me home.

You know Sun He?

We were comrades.

You're a deserter.

This murder is full of doubts.

Sir.

Sir.

Sorry, sir.

It was a good chance,

but my legs were numb.

Let's call it a day.

You always show up at the meal time.

Do you have meat

if I don't come?

I...

What are you doing?

It hurts!

What are you doing with this axe?

I'm chopping firewood.

Then stay focused.

Xu.

Let go

of me.

If there is some time

when you feel tired at work, just tell me.

I'm here for you.

Yu.

Xu.

I brought you some meat.

Thank you.

I'll cook it. I'm going.

You stay here.

Xu, here.

[Though the armor torn in constant desert wars, our men wouldn't come back till they beat the enemies.]

Have some.

No.

What's wrong with you?

Just eat.

Yu.

Hand!

Like I said,

we should give more time to him

so that he can accept it slowly

and gradually digest it.

Alright. I'm full. I'm leaving.

Oh, the Grandmaster will catch spirits tonight.

Come over early to help.

I will come up with something

about you safeguarding the prison.

[Wuwei Villager, Memorial Tablet of My Late Father, Guo Haizheng]

Brother Guo, I will take care of this family,

please rest in peace.

[Wuwei Villager, Memorial Tablet of My Late Father, Guo Haizheng]

Huan,

your father was a big hero.

Why do you have to safeguard the prison?

Take your father's blade to catch spirits.

I'm not him.

I'm not a hero.

I just want to safeguard the prison.

I have my own blade.

As though a gust of spring wind swept past overnight,

bringing thousands upon thousands of pear trees into bloom.

That long-faced guy, don't interrupt me.

Everybody will be happy,

once spirits and ghosts are caught.

Bravo!

Mother nature,

give me the magic power to catch all kinds of spirits.

Who is here catching spirits?

My brother Wu.

He is my good brother.

Go on.

They are watching.

Cut the craps.

Wu, what's this about?

Your temper has changed since you lost your hair.

You are self-conceited.

Me. It's Li.

He is a fan.

It's understandable.

Magic power from mysterious mother nature.

Unsearchable spirits are caught by magic power.

Unsearchable spirits should be caught secretly.

Bullshits.

Is it really so mysterious like that?

Let us see.

Someone in there?

I can go inside to see for everyone.

How about that?

Wu, what are you doing?

You have been so self-conceited since you had a bald head.

Here comes the moment to witness the magic power.

Bravo.

Let's do this.

My brother is moving.

It will sparkle inside when he uses the power.

Mother nature, let me see this little spirit.

Close your eyes

to avoid being hurt by the sparkles.

He is digging my eyes.

I hid and escaped.

I caught it just now,

and put it in my pocket.

Got one.

Nice.

He caught one.

See? He caught a spirit.

That's my big brother.

I have believed in him since childhood.

He really did it.

I'm He Xiuqin and I died with injustice.

Spirit!

Spirit!

Go!

Spirit!

Spirit!

How come no one has sought justice for me?

[Wronged He Xiuqin]

How come no one ever sought justice for me?

One is caught,

and another one just walked in?

Don't panic.

I can catch spirits.

I'll do it.

Here is the ghost, did you see her?

Catch her.

I just,

I just saw her,

this, this kind of ghost is not,

not familiar to me.

So I can't catch her if I don't know her.

It's you, who wanna catch me.

Hurry up, catch her, hurry.

Catch her!

Catch me!

Catch me!

Catch her!

I can't bear!

I can't bear!

Facing such a beautiful,

a beautiful,

a beautiful lady,

a lovely lady,

how could I bear to catch her?

Even if we meet each other someday,

please get away from me.

Farewell.

Fly on a sword!

Hush.

I have told you,

if you pretend to be a ghost again, I will catch you.

Catch the brigands if you can.

You don't deserve to be a constable.

Bah!

You dare to do that!

Bah!

Bah!

Bah!

Bah!

Oh my god!

Go!

I'll manage to solve Mrs. Chen's problem.

Keep your word.

Let's go, go! Check it out!

Sir!

He is fainted!

He's awake.

How do you feel?

I sacrificed to expel the ghost, can I guard the prison?

Don't waste my time.

Tell me what you said to that female spirit.

That ghost is the wronged soul of He Xiuqin.

There must be a wronged case.

Officers, you should take care of it!

Don't scare us civilians.

We're frigtened all day, right?

Right.

Yeah yeah yeah.

The wronged soul of He Xiuqin told me

that she just asked the government to destroy the brigands,

then she will leave.

We can't fight with the brigands.

They will kill people,

kill a person in a twinkling,

kill a person in a twinkling,

I think catching the ghost

is easier and safer.

Right?

Yes!

Hey, hey,

Guo Huan,

you can talk with her,

go to tell her,

tell her to go,

find a reincarnation.

Do I just persuade her to find a reincarnation with my mouth?

It's not right indeed.

Everyone, is it alright?

Yeah!

It's a deal.

Constable Guo, my brother,

you're almighty,

have a chat with that female spirit,

or you can comfort her more sincerely.

You should do it when I tell you.

What? Who are you?

He should do it when you tell him?

I think you all can do it.

Step back.

Guo Huan, it's a deal.

If you make it, I'll let you guard the prison.

Right, you can earn a lot of money

from guarding the prison.

Could you step back?

It hurts.

It's a deal now.

Bravo!

Bitch!

Bitch!

Bitch!

Bitch!

Bitch!

Get out!

Ah!

Help me!

You didn't see anything.

Before the General comes back,

as long as he doesn't go out, it will be okay.

It will be okay

that messing with his own servant.

It will be okay.

Mrs. Chen,

it's hard to catch the brigands.

I won't put you into a dilemma,

don't do it to me, okay?

Bah.

I have told you I hate people do that!

Let's go, you deserter.

I'll get you to the county government to finish my task.

Go!

Constable Guo,

That "Bah" I said

was just for expressing the solitude in my heart.

For you,

I truly respect you.

I have been around for miles these days,

but I didn't see one single brigand.

What do you mean?

I think that

there are

no brigands at all.

Please do me justice,

check it out.

I,

let me think about it.

Hey,

He Xiuqin went out the county suddenly,

is it weird?

It's so weird.

Hey.

Who!

Is it a coincidence

that Mrs. Chen met a constable late at night?

Do you dare to doubt the constable?

So who is

the other guy?

Leave now, did you hear me?

I hope, you can do the detection.

Here, here,

leave!

Hey,

What's wrong with you!

They're sleeping, keep quiet.

I came here to remind you,

there are many problems in this homicide case.

Get out.

I just reminded you.

Did you decide to do the detection?

What's wrong with you!

If you don't do it, I will frighten you everyday.

You can't hit me.

When Sun He was dying,

he asked me to give the letter and belongings to Mrs. Chen.

But I didn't expect that thing happened.

Tell me, how could I just stand by?

I am a real deserter.

Except pretending to be a ghost, what else could I do?

I beg you, help Mrs. Chen.

If you agree to do the investigation,

I will give you a lot of money to thank you.

You're a deserter, you give me a lot...

How much?

At least I have ten strings of coins.

I'll take it as a yes.

It's none of your business.

I believe you.

Give me my toilet paper!

Here.

Righteous constable.

When will you give me the money?

As long as you find out the truth.

You should be honest with yourself.

Your daddy is such a great hero!

Daddy, where are you going?

There are some bad people,

daddy need to fight them off.

Don't worry about me.

I will come back soon.

He Xiuqin's case has already ended,

The brigands did evils and civilians suffered.

At that night, my daughter-in-law was killed,

I met a constable.

The homicide case was so weird!

Why is there one homicide case after another?

Post-mortem examiner!

What are you doing? Are you taking a nap?

Should I be a corpse lying here?

Do you sleep here?

What else place can I lie on?

I have told the county magistrate,

I can lie here, lie here to have a rest.

What!

Tell me about the homicide case of He Xiuqin.

He Xiuqin?

That widow, He Xiuqin.

Widow?

Sun He's wife, He Xiuqin!

Ah, you are talking about He Xiuqin.

I thought you were talking about He Xiuqin.

On the fourth day of the lunar month of June, from 7 to 9 o'clock a.m.

Niu Er found a burnt body at the North Slope.

We brought back the body, Zhan was there too.

OK, case ended.

What are you talking about?

Tell me more.

Why are you shouting?

Tell me more about it.

Here, lie here, come on.

What, why should I lie here?

I help you look back on this case.

What, why should I lie here to look back on it?

Sir, I want to tell you something.

Sir, I mean,

Can you bring me to do the investigation together?

Here! Come here, come on.

Can I?

Lie here.

Lie down seriouly!

Corpse!

Is there any corpse like you?

Lie down!

OK.

After the corpse was brought back,

we did the autopsy as soon as possible.

There was no soot in her nose and lungs.

So it meant she was burnt after her death.

And there were eight wounds caused by a knife on the body.

Three wounds on her chest.

Two wounds on her legs.

Turn over!

Two wounds on the back.

Turn over!

Two knifes in her ribs.

I'm kidding, try to liven things up.

The corpse was burnt,

how could you recognize the wounds were caused by a knife?

Bro, pouring oil on the corpse in th open

could char the corpse at most,

it can't incinerate the corpse,

did you know it?

And I have stayed here for years,

keeping in touch with the corpses,

I'm full of negative energy.

I wish I can go outside like the constables

to look the outside world, is it good?

Bro, which level is your salary on?

What, so...

Where is the fatal wound?

There are two fatal wounds.

One is below the left rib,

Click! After the bones were broken, the fractures inserted into the lungs,

it was fatal, but it wouldn't cause her to die immediately,

she would feel hard to breathe.

The other one is on her throat.

Judging by the wound,

I think it should be a dagger of about two inches.

End her life with one stab.

So,

how can we be sure that she is He Xiuqin?

The hairpin.

It's very delicate,

not so far away from the corpse,

and it can't be burnt by the fire.

We could find it as soon as we were on the scene.

But I doubted that

the hairpin

might be throwed by He Xiuqin herself.

She got eight wounds,

she must have lost so much blood.

But at the scene,

I used strong vinegar and wine,

no blood was tested out.

So I doubted

if they were holding

a mysterious ritual.

For example, they were worshiping weasels,

or hedgehogs.

Okay, okay, okay, could you say something useful?

The corpse was burnt so hard.

All the signs of rape

and burns cannot be seen

It's strange though

The corpse is moved to the mountain after death.

Wait

Is it moved after the death?

Young master, this is the gown you are wearing on the ordaining day

Do you want to try it on?

Get down and eat like dogs!

Be quick!

You too

Go and bark

like a dog

Bark!

Eat quickly!

Eat it fast!

Bark!

Get out!

Get out of here!

Out!

Get out of this room now!

Young master, will you please stop the clowning?

The old bastard just threw an unwanted bone to me

as if I were his dog

The day you are ordained as the general

is the start of your glorious days

It doesn't matter whether it's a bone or not.

No, it does!

His fucking sons

all died unnatural deaths

He has no other son to inherit his appointed position now

So he patronized me

the most unimpressive me

I also need to pretend to be a dog

and learn to be grateful

Do I look like a dog?

Can you hear me?

He...

He xiuqin

is the one who took the part-time jobs in your mansion

My voice is hoarse. Do you have water?

No

Swallow your saliva first

It's your turn to call now

He...

He xiuqin!

She worked at your place!

Who's there?

Why are you making noises in front of our Zhang's mansion

in the early morning?

Who the hell

are you?

What makes you here,

Constable Guo?

Butler Huang,

I was ordered to appease the spirit of He Xiuqin.

He Xiuqin had been doing the odd job

at your Zhang's mansion before death, right?

I don't quite know the servant's business

She did take the part-time job at Zhang's mansion

Did she come to work on the day

she was murdered?

Did she?

No

You...

Can we go into the mansion to inquire into it?

No.

This is a wealthy and influential family

Even the county magistrate can't come to investigate it

let alone you.

OK. I understand.

Excuse me.

But why can't we ask about the truth?

Let's go, Zhan.

We can stay here, calling...

The county government really started to investigate He Xiuqin's case

I heard that the spirit of He Xiuqin came out yesterday

And Constable Guo came to our door today

So, what's your plan?

We still need to investigate Zhang's mansion

But we are not allowed to enter the mansion

How about investigating something else first?

Come closer. Let me tell you a secret!

Are you insane?

Stop making the noise! I was scared!

Sorry, sir.

Sir, Mrs. Chen came across a constable?

Who's on the night patrol that night?

I've checked it.

It was Han Bao.

God bless me!

Big. Big. Big.

Big.

Small.

Big.

Open it. Open it. Open it.

Big.

Small.

Open it. Open it. Open it.

Open it.

Sir, why are you here?

Didn't I tell you not to gamble?

No, I wasn't gambling

I was here to arrest the gamblers.

What's this then?

I...

This is the gambling equipment I confiscated

Gambling equipment?

No.

Really?

OK. Stop watching!

We are on business. Don't be onlookers!

Go home now.

Go home.

Do you want to play too, Constable Guo?

Do you want to gamble with an officer?

I'm running a casino.

So I welcome all who wants to play here

But if you want to wreck my business,

I'll tell you...

Tell me what?

It's painful!

Oh, you are painful?

Yes, I am.

Go and get him!

What are you doing?

Gambling is illegal.

You are always getting on my nerves.

Let's wait and see.

Get out!

Let's wait and see.

No need to wait.

What are you waiting for?

Release me!

Release me!

Let go of him.

Let go of me.

No way.

Ouch. Ouch.

While,

Constable Guo,

when you look at me,

don't you think we two

look alike?

Yes. We all have oblong faces.

Do you think

we might be relatives

a few generations ahead?

That's possible!

Why are we against each other then?

But I'm crazy about the internal conflicts!

Look at me. Look at me.

Will you still

gamble with the officers later?

I promise

if he comes again,

you can break my legs.

I appreciate your attitude now.

Where's the money he lost?

Over there.

This much?

All of this is yours?

No. Not only this,

but also that pile.

I want to chop you now!

Sir,

I can't help chopping you!

I dare not gamble again!

Will you gamble again?

I won't gamble again. I dare not gamble any more!

I'll quit gambling!

Was it you who went on patrol

on the night He Xiuqin was murdered?

Yes.

Was it you who sent Mrs. Chen home?

Yes, it was me.

I saw her have visual impairment.

So I sent

her home then.

Just you, alone?

Yes. Just... me.

We're friends

and so close.

You have to be honest to me

It ... was only me for real.

And no one else was there.

Are you sure?

Sir.

I swear to you

it was only me.

I...sent her home by myself.

Fine.

It's OK.

I'm just asking.

Let's go, Zhan.

No more gambling, OK?

No way.

He wasn't telling the truth.

Why don't we keep interrogating him since you knew it?

We are all friends.

Besides, we don't have the proof.

You did a good job on this case.

There's no more ghosts.

Put up a security notice, the sooner the better

You can guard the jail in a few days.

What?

I haven't talked with the spirit yet!

Come over.

What?

What are you thinking?

You really think you are an exorcist？

Ouch!

It's enough!

Ouch!

County Defender Xu,

General Zhang Ji is going to retire

and go back to his hometown.

Guo,

please talk to the ghost.

She is a female spirit after all.

So you can devote yourself if needed.

Before general Zhang's return,

you must let her go.

No. It's...

Got it.

She must be reincarnated.

This is ...

Got it.

The security notice must be put up.

Got it.

Thanks to you, Mr. Xu

I can be understood well.

Do you have anything else to do here.

Go and do whatever you should do.

Sir.

Sir. Sir.

What's going on inside?

Who will be on the night patrol tonight?

Han Bao.

Shall we follow and observe him secretly?

No. Just have a rest today.

Sir,

I think it's worthwhile

to work overtime for this case.

Have a rest please!

My head sounds louder than the door does, isn't it?

I've found out the one

who escorted Mrs. Chen home that night.

I want to interrogate him.

But please assist me.

No problem.

Han Bao!

Sir,

on the night He Xiuqin was murdered,

I just met Mrs. Chen

and took her home.

I don't know what happened.

We are friends.

You have to tell me the truth.

I... I really know nothing.

Sir,

I have to go on the night patrol.

Stop.

Can you repeat your words

to her?

It has nothing to do with me.

I don't know anything.

Go and find the person who killed you.

It was not me.

What indeed happened

on that night?

Sir,

I am just a timid and greedy person.

But I dare not commit crimes.

You gotta save me.

Why do you wanna kill Han Bao?

You can just pay him and mute him.

I can't say it.

I will die if I say it.

I want to be alive.

Say it. I will definitely save you.

Look at him! How timid he is!

Can he keep the secret?

Who are they?

They are...

A demon is professional in

killing a man.

Don't come here. Wait a moment.

Say it!

They are from Zhang's mansion.

What's going on here?

Why are there other ghosts?

I am sorry.

I am late.

Bro...

Brother.

Han Bao

Don't hurt Guo Huan.

No more killings.

You're the one who stopped that

old woman from being killed,

and that's why all this happened.

All dead, all fine.

Now I will kill

whoever stands in the way of young master.

What are you gonna do?

I won't let you hurt Guo Huan.

Catch the ghosts!

There are so many ghosts. Run first!

Go!

If you break that string again,

I'll kill you.

Somebody catch the ghost！

Sir,

I thought

we agreed not to work tonight?

Why are you doing this

without me?

I have gone home,

but you did it on your own.

You are a liar!

Wait a minute!

Where is it?

It's over there.

Go!

Follow me!

Go! Go! Go!

Hurry up! Follow me!

What should we do?

The whole town is on ghosts' hunting.

Let's go as well.

Young master. Young master. Young master.

Go away!

Young master.

Go away!

Let's go hunting the ghost!

You can't go anywhere

without a pass.

I have figured out a way.

No matter where we go,

we will live

like grass.

Who said we are like grass?

Would you like to come with me?

Let me give you a ride.

Catch the ghost!

Catch the ghost!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Catch the ghost! Catch the ghost! Catch the ghost!

Stop!

Stop! Catch the ghost!

Get away!

Get away!

Don't move! Don't move! Don't move!

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!

Calm down!

Follow him! Follow him! Follow him!

Follow him! Stop him!

Follow him! Follow him! Follow him!

Guo Huan,

Guo Huan.

Where are you?

Here! Here! Here! Come here!

Are you stupid? Why are you here?

Come in!

No.

Hurry up!

That way!

I kind of

feel safe with you.

Save it!

Take it away!

Hurry up!

Throw the basket away!

I can hide myself in it.

No. Throw it away.

Hurry up.

I have lost my cover.

Run!

Why are you so smelly?

Landing failure.

Huan,

you're back.

Why is outside...

Mom, mom, mom.

Calm down. Calm down.

I will explain it to you.

Wash your face.

Mom, mom, mom.

Calm down. Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down. No, no, no.

No, no.

Calm down. Calm down. Calm down.

So you've been

pretending to be a ghost lately?

You are redressing the grievance

for He Xiuqin?

Yes.

You said the Zhang family

was involved in

He Xiuqin's murder?

Han Bao referred to Zhang's mansion before he died.

General Zhang Ji's...

Yes.

Do you dare to redress the grievance for the people?

I always

wanted you

to be a hero

like your father.

But

when the day finally comes,

I still

worry about you.

I care about your safety.

Whatever you choose,

it will be

a man's decision.

It's up to you

this time.

Dad, why do you want to be a constable?

Because when you're a constable,

you can protect

the good and the weak.

Don't move.

Since you came to me

you have to trust me.

Tell me

everything you know.

If I tell you,

make sure to give me a pass

and let me get out of here.

Sure.

On the day that He Xiuqin died,

I saw Zhang Dingbei

rape her.

Forgive me, young master. Forgive me, young master.

Somebody pick up the dirty clothes.

Young master.

Your foot.

Get out.

Young master.

She only came to help.

She is not the servant here.

Get out.

Young master, I am begging you.

Come here.

Please.

Help me. Help me.

Well, did you see

who killed her?

You're scaring her!

Don't be afraid. Go on.

We didn't dare to say anything.

We all went back to our rooms.

I don't know

what happened to He Xiuqin later.

Will a duck swim?

Zhang Dingbei

must have killed He Xiuqin.

The rape is a certainty.

What about the evidence for murder?

If we need evidence for everything,

the good guys would be all dead.

Mom,

why are you still awake?

Girl,

you can live in my house.

You'll be fine when I'm here.

Thank you, Madam.

Go back.

Take care.

Don't trouble

your mother and wife.

Let her stay with

Mrs. Chen first.

Sure.

My pass...

Rest assured.

Miss,

you are slave.

Even if you have a pass,

you still need to hide yourself all the time.

Knock harder. Make them come out.

What are you doing?

Xu Dian,

the young master ran away from home.

He hasn't been back yet.

Everyone in Zhang's mansion

have went out to look for him.

Xu Dian, help me.

Help me to look for him.

The general will soon return home,

young master can not have any accident

in this period of time.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Yes.

Go and look for him.

Go, go, go.

Go! Find him!

Go!

Be careful when you go back.

Go. Lady.

Stop.

Don't worry.

When I find out the truth,

I will pay you.

Investigation and arrest is a matter for constable.

I'll arrest you if you fool around.

Did you hear that?

Arrest me?

You don't want the money?

It's not about the money.

Good.

You don't love money anymore?

Catch Zhang Dingbei if you can.

I have told you

she is a runaway domestic servant.

Her statement

is inadmissible in a court of law.

So now we don't have evidence

to prove that Zhang Dingbei

Evidence! Evidence!

The law that needs evidence

can't punish Zhang Dingbei

for a crime.

That's no excuse for your messing things up.

Give me more time.

Okay?

I'll check it out again.

Go!

That's Zhang Dingbei.

What a coincidence.

Stop!

Sorry about this.

Place your bets!

Go! Bet!

Bet! Bet! Bet!

Mr. Zhang is coming.

Somebody, get rid of these people.

Make room for Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang must be freezing.

Is it fun?

You mean this?

A lot of fun.

Come and have fun with us.

Go.

Guo Huan.

Where have you been?

I...

Shut up.

Let me tell you.

Zhang Dingbei is missing now.

Go and find him. Quickly.

Now!

Go go go.

Come back.

Me?

You, follow me.

Hey.

I'm tired.

Very tired.

Have a rest.

Go.

Take a break.

I tell you,

General Zhangji

will resign and return home in a few days.

His son, Zhang Dingbei

will succeed him as the general.

General?

So

the future general is missing now.

It's a big thing.

Let me tell you. Don't get involved.

Did you find out something?

Why can't you

save my worries?

Why are you so willing

so willing to be a hero?

You pinch a hero's son,

marry a hero's wife,

you are a hero.

Don't speak nonsense.

Let me tell you,

go to guard the jail tomorrow.

It's all about money.

It isn't about money.

Well, come.

I'm ordering you now,

as a county defender,

to stay out of this.

I'm a constable, I have to deal with it.

Stop.

Let me tell you,

On the night when He Xiuqin was killed,

Mrs. Chen saw Han Bao

and another mysterious man

in the stage square.

Han Bao was killed by someone

pretending to be a ghost.

Do you think this is a coincidence?

I will figure it out. I will deal with it.

You're being ridiculous.

[Auspicious]

We constables are like dogs.

It's not up to us

who we bite.

You

My father is a constable.

Is he a dog?

He is a great hero in killing thieves.

If you want to be a dog, that's your business,

Don't ruin our reputation.

I win?

I win.

What I wrote is money.

Ask Huang Tong for money.

[Money]

It is

so beautiful!

Mr. Zhang's calligraphy

is real money.

How beautiful!

Look!

It looks like the word blessing.

Go go go. Quickly.

Deal.

[Big Small]

If I tell you

no one killed He Xiuqin,

would you still investigate it?

What did you say?

He Xiuqin committed suicide.

How did you know?

I am the

mysterious man you are looking for

who was with Han Bao that night.

What?

I'll tell you the truth

so that you won't get yourself and others hurt

by your foolishness.

That day,

Huang Tong asked someone to find me.

Finally, you're here.

The woman failed to seduce the young master.

She became angry from embarrassment and cut the young master with a knife.

Now you have her arrested and sentenced.

She is Lady Sun He.

She is not that kind of person.

Xu Dian.

General with be back next month.

Let me tell you,

I can't let someone

destroy the young master's innocence.

Do you understand?

None of us

can take responsibility for this.

She hurt me! Kill her!

You stop that now.

How dare you yell at me?

Believe it or not, I will kill you!

Xu Dian.

Send the young master back to rest, now.

It is obvious that the bastard

raped me,

but now he says I seduced him.

I have all the evidence,

and I do not allow people to destroy my innocence.

My life

is clean.

Clean?

You are dirty when I say you are.

Xu Dian.

Arrest her.

Lady Sun He.

Can you leave it to me?

You are the official.

I beg you to do me justice.

Well.

I'll ask them for some money.

No. Tell me what do you want.

Tell me.

I will talk to them.

I want nothing.

All I ask is that the wicked be brought to justice.

I'm helping you.

Xu Dian.

All right. I know what to do.

What are you embarrassed about?

Let me tell you.

Arrest her, that's all!

I'm thinking!

You don't have to.

Now arrest her.

And then sentence her to death.

When the general is back,

No.

Collaborated in evildoing.

She committed suicide.

And then

to get away from it,

you took the body out of town

and set it on fire

making it look like a burglary-murder scene,

right?

The body is burned

to destroy evidence of rape.

What about Han Bao?

When Han Bao was on his night patrol,

he came across

the carriage carrying the corpse of Zhang’mansion.

I advised Huang Tong to bribe Han Bao.

I also let Han Bao must keep his mouth shut.

But I did not expect

Mrs. Chen appeared on the street corner.

Fortunately she is blind.

She couldn't see anything.

I then let Han Bao send her home.

So no one killed He Xiuqin at all.

Those people you want to check

are not murderers.

They are all innocent.

They are all innocent.

Every single one of you

is the murder.

Stop it.

You did it.

What's the point of this now?

You drove her to fight with death.

The people in Zhang's mansion have gone crazy.

How dare you

say you're innocent?

I wanted to protect

Because you

didn't kill her yourself?

I wanted to protect He Xiuqin.

We stand up for law and order for what?

I did't want anyone to die.

For protecting

the weak!

I'm just a small county defender.

When I was a constable,

your father took good care of me.

He saved my life,

which I will

never forget.

But sometimes I wonder,

your father was such a hero,

he could kill 15 roving bandits once,

but what happened in the end?

When you find out

you can't even

protect your family,

will you still want to be a hero?

I will ask Huang Tong for money

and you will no longer be poor.

But promise me,

Just leave it alone. OK?

I love money.

My dad passed away a long time ago,

so I want to take good care of my mom

and Li Lian.

However,

I don't accept

dirty money.

Why are you so stubborn?

Now, the people in Zhang's Mansion

are going crazy.

They can do

everything they want.

How about this?

If you leave it alone,

I will never come into your house

from now on.

We must find

Zhang Dingbei tonight.

You go and watch the prison

tomorrow morning.

Your dad

[Spirit Tablet of my late father Guo Haizheng]

is a super hero.

My son died fighting on the battlefield for his country.

You regard yourself as a real master, huh?

Say it. I can save you for sure.

Even if I die, I won't feel relived.

I just want the evil to be punished.

Do you dare to help people to ask for justice?

Now, I suspect

that Zhang Dingbei has

raped and killed the woman called He Xiuqin.

I also suspect

that Zhang has asked killer to murder the constable called Han Bao.

I applied officially

to Qiufeng County Defender Xu Dian

that I catch Zhang Dingbei for investigation.

One more time.

One more time.

One more time.

Protect young master. Hurry up.

Go.

Stop.

Go out.

OK.

He asked me to go out.

Don't kill people.

There is justice and law.

Don't be so imprudent.

Help me.

Are you going to kill me?

Han Bao's life

and He Xiuqin's life

are all human lives, aren't they?

Today,

you come to kill me.

Kill him.

I will repay with my life.

You brat!

The life is so important,

so you can't treat life lavishly.

You get me wrong.

I've been living a tough life since I was young.

I don't dare to ruin others'lives.

He Xiuqin and Han Bao.

I don't want them to die.

I don't.

People's lives are always

different.

Kill him.

I will pay you a lot.

What are you doing?

I suspect you of

raping the woman called He Xiuqin

and killing the constable called Han Bao.

Now I'll take you to the court.

Do you dare?

Yes.

Believe it or not,

I'll kill you

and your whole family.

Don't kill officers.

Kill him.

Kill them.

What can I do?

Em.

I'm rich.

I don't want to die.

Don't.

If I don't kill him,

how can you be alive?

Catch me.

I'll take everything on myself.

There is nothing to do with you.

This is the horse of young master.

He should be nearby.

Around the casino. Hurry up.

Please.

Please.

Go.

Go.

The passing credentials.

I've prepared the carriage.

As soon as the sun rises tomorrow morning,

you leave the town ASAP.

OK.

Kids,

where are we?

Are we moving?

Mrs. Chen.

We're moving house.

As long as we're together,

I don't care where we move to.

I'll leave Mrs. Chen and Guixiang

to you.

OK.

I lied to you.

I don't have money to give to you.

I remember the money.

You owe me.

OK.

Wait.

I know

you have a lot of things to tell me,

but the time is so limited today.

I won't keep you too long.

Wait for a second.

Actually,

I don't like constables.

I hate deserters more.

I don't like the long face.

I don't like the round face.

I hate beard.

You don't have beard.

I said the beard here.

Get away.

Wait a second.

You know

I don't usually have personal feelings

with someone

who I have known just for several days,

but you're an exception.

Move your hand

away from

my shoulder.

OK.

Damn it.

Constable Guo.

See you later.

See you never.

Girl, just watch him.

He is a bad guy.

Bah...

I said I hate someone Bah me the most

in my life.

You're an exception.

In his heart,

he appreciates me.
