Most of our Secret Task Force

has no lateral connection.

So only Jin Yan, Zhang and Peng Duo

know Chang Zheng's current whereabouts.

Nobody else knows.

Great.

It's not only to keep the secret

but also to protect each other.

Give me the phone.

I saw your phone

in your pocket just now.

That's for daily use.

This is the personal phone of Secret Task Force.

There was a meeting just now. I left it in the car.

Jin Yan.

Chang Zheng is lost.

Okay, I'll be right back.

I'm sorry, Zhou.

I have to drop you off.

Okay. Pull over at the intersection.

I'll take a taxi home.

[Episode 6]

[Changwu People's Hospital]

[Nurse Station]

Why are you sitting here?

I'm waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

What's wrong?

Father was discharged from the hospital.

Is he awake?

Not yet.

When did it happen?

Pengchao went through the discharge procedure

for Father as soon as we left last night.

He took him away directly.

What does Pengchao want to do?

He wants to threaten us by taking Father away with him.

I don't understand.

Think about it.

He has Father in his clutches.

Then

we have to listen to him

for everything.

Did Pengchao do that?

I thought he was just a sheep.

But I didn't expect him

to be a wolf disguised as a sheep.

No matter what he is,

I won't let him go.

Shanmao!

Pengxiang.

Ask the brothers

to gather at Master's house.

Okay.

Qin Hongxia's house

is on the third floor.

[Xia's Fruit Store]

I think

Since they sent someone to keep an eye

on the downstairs of Wu Fei's house,

their men must be downstairs of Qin Hongxia's house.

But what I fear most now

is not their men

but our men.

Do you mean the police?

Yes.

We two made such a scene

downstairs at Wu Fei's house.

The police must have known it.

I think they most probably will send someone here to spy on me.

Your analysis is very likely to happen.

So I'd better go upstairs.

If you go up

and get caught,

you're doomed.

You'll be suspected as the accomplice.

I don't care.

That's not it.

It's unnecessary.

What's the point?

Right?

I'll go up.

Drive to the alley ahead and wait for me.

If something really happens,

I'll find you there.

All right.

Be careful.

Put all the things away.

And don't take it out

when you don't need it.

It's a tricky matter.

Take my cue.

Pengxiang!

Pengxiang!

Pengxiang.

How is it?

Are there enough people?

I'll find you more if it's not enough.

Pengzhan.

You're the elder brother.

You have to ring the doorbell.

Pengchao, you can't just go out.

They're obviously here to accuse you.

Yes. There are so many of them.

What if they start a fight?

Don't worry. They won't start a fight today.

Go on with your work.

Pengchao.

Tao.

Trust him.

You're here.

It's so harmonious to see Pengxiang

pushing Pengzhan.

Is it lovely?

Where are your men?

Where are they hiding?

All right.

Stop bluffing.

Say it.

Did you bring Father back?

Yes.

What do you want to do?

Pengchao.

You want to threaten us by taking Father away with you.

Do you think

you can threaten us

by taking Father away

and having him in your clutches?

Dad is unconscious now.

I took him home to have a good rest.

Isn't that what a son should do?

You're his son.

We're his sons, too.

Did you hear that?

We're his sons, too.

I'm his son.

I want to go in and see my father.

Get out of the way.

I'm taking care of Dad now.

No one can disturb him

until he wakes up.

Don't move!

Ning Yu, are you all right?

I'm all right.

Get up then.

He has run away.

Go up! Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Chief Zhang.

Song.

Come on.

Look at this.

Isn't this Chang Zheng's hat?

Go downstairs!

Let's go.

What's going on?

Hurry up.

Pengchao.

I never

hit my brothers.

Do you understand?

Don't make me do it.

Shanmao!

Remove the gate.

Beat those

who dare to stop you.

Brothers.

Let's remove the gate.

Come on.

Didn't you hear that? Remove the gate.

Why are you standing still?

Do it!

Didn't you hear what Pengxiang said?

Do it!

Pengchao.

Pengchao.

Well.

You...

Sangniu.

Let's go back.

Do you still want to do it?

Pengxiang.

Go back first.

I'll let you know when Dad wakes up.

Pengxiang.

Pengxiang.

I trusted my men.

But my men betrayed me.

Say something.

Even your closest Heitou

has become his man.

What else should I say?

I don't understand.

Didn't Pengchao only study and live abroad

since he was young?

How did he win over Heitou

and my brothers?

He looks so tender.

Why is he so strong?

He practiced before.

How do you know?

Do you know each other?

See.

See?

See what?

Well. Make it clear, Sangniu.

See what?

Enough.

Don't think about those useless things.

Think about

what Pengchao

has arranged behind our backs.

Think about what?

Pengzhan, don't you know

I have a headache whenever

I think of something?

Your legs are badly injured.

Only your brain is left.

Use your brain if you want to think.

Can you talk nicely?

Shut up if you can't.

Sleep.

This was the trap set up by the Zhao family.

Wu Fei and Qin Hongxia

are not only witnesses

but also victims.

With the strength of the Zhao family in Changwu,

it's too difficult for them to come forward

and identify.

Fortunately, they ran away.

Or they would be in danger.

But

they're gone. You...

In the early stage of handling the case,

it's like crossing the river by touching the stones.

It can't be helped.

If this road doesn't work,

just change the way.

It's quite normal to switch roads

in public security investigations.

All roads lead to Rome.

Where is Rome?

Is it a train of thought or a direction?

It must be right

to follow the dynamite.

The dynamite first appeared

in the shooting at Xinye Wharf.

The witness ran away.

All the clues were gone.

The second time where it appeared was

at your criminal investigation detachment.

Then I was wanted

and couldn't show up.

So

the third time where it appeared...

Go to Dongwan Wharf.

Uncle.

You haven't slept all night.

Would you like to take a rest?

I haven't returned to Changwu for a long time.

Look, Changwu and Zhaojiawei

are separated by a bridge.

But it's two different worlds.

It's time for Zhaojiawei to develop.

[Pengzhan]

Pengzhan.

Pengchao.

Are you free tomorrow at noon?

Tomorrow at noon?

Sure.

Well then.

Come to my house tomorrow at noon.

I'll treat you.

Let's get merry.

Remember.

Just the two of us.

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Pengzhan invites me to lunch.

Uncle.

Uncle Pengzhan invites you to lunch now.

Does he have any other ideas?

I don't think so.

This place is a blind spot for monitoring.

This place has been cleaned up.

No more evidence could be left.

Why do you have to come?

To look for witnesses?

If there's a witness, I've long been innocent.

You said you only saw me get on

and off the yacht in the surveillance video

that day, didn't you?

Right. What's wrong?

And this camera is the one

that recorded the yacht explosion.

I have to watch this video.

[Binxi Criminal Investigation]

What are you selling?

Mentor.

[Binxi Criminal Investigation]

Okay.

Let me write it down.

Mentor.

Hang on a second.

Wait a second.

It's okay. Go ahead, Mentor.

Well.

I'm

wanted now.

I'd like you to do me a favor.

Surveillance video?

All right.

Okay, I got it.

No problem. I can get it.

Ning Yu, let me remind you first.

I'm wanted now.

It's risky for you to help me.

Think it over.

Mentor.

I think it very clearly.

I don't believe you're the murderer.

So I'm just

breaking the rules.

Even if I'm caught,

it'd be a warning at most.

But if that proves your innocence,

that's worth it.

Thank you.

I'll contact you later.

Okay, Mentor.

What's wrong?

Do you want to call your girlfriend?

No.

Just prove your innocence before calling her.

Chief Zhang.

I'll go to the municipal bureau for a meeting.

You stay behind.

All right.

Chief Zhang.

Take care, Chief Zhang.

[Call this number back when you get the video.]

[Call this number back when you get the video.]

Mentor.

I got it.

Okay.

I'll send it to you right away.

What are you doing?

No... Nothing.

Nothing.

As soon as I came in,

you hurriedly shut the computer.

Did you do something bad?

Can't I have some privacy?

Privacy?

Is your privacy

related to your men...

Song.

Can you show some respect to others?

Don't think I don't know

you first made some noise

and startled Chang Zheng at the scene of the arrest today?

Later,

you pretended that you couldn't climb the stairs.

You were buying time for your mentor,

weren't you?

I'm a newbie.

Isn't it normal to make small mistakes?

I don't believe you're a great detective

as soon as you begin to work.

Not even now.

Don't think I can't hear you since your voice is soft.

Let me kindly remind you.

Don't go against

the Zhao family in Changwu.

[Jiuzhou Motel]

The camera is facing the bow of the ship.

It only captured you getting on and off the yacht.

It couldn't capture what happened

inside the yacht and the stern.

I can't count on it anymore.

[Zhao]

We had a meeting here last night.

Bloody infighting of the Zhao family

was avoided because of that meeting.

I'd like to

thank you all.

Big brother.

Don't mention it.

I said.

Just call me Pengchao.

Pengzhan and Pengxiang are elder than me.

I'm the younger brother.

Do you understand?

I understand, Pengchao.

You chose to follow me.

Pengzhan and Pengxiang must have felt bad.

The brothers can't go back to

where they used to live.

Does Heitou know the orchard

on Tanglang Mountain?

Yes.

I asked someone to clean it up.

Food and drink are prepared.

Let the brothers stay there these days.

But Pengchao.

Such a scene was made today.

I'm afraid Pengzhan and Pengxiang

won't let it go.

You'd better send some brothers

to follow you.

Right, Pengchao.

Let the brothers follow you.

It's safer to have brothers with you.

Thank you.

Not everything

can be solved by fighting.

Don't worry.

I can handle the rest.

Let the brothers

eat and rest well these days.

There's a lot of work ahead.

Got it.

We're familiar with each other.

[Changwu City, Binjiang Province]

Then I'll come straight to the point.

Zhenggang came to Changwu this time

because of the yacht explosion.

This case

had a very bad impact on society.

The superiors attach great importance to it.

So I was sent to Changwu to supervise and handle the case.

Let's listen to everyone's report first.

Okay.

This is the chief

of the Binxi Criminal Investigation Detachment.

Zhang Qiufeng.

He's been catching the front line.

He even

met Chang Zheng today.

Then let Comrade Qiufeng report first.

Yes.

Sir,

here's what happened.

Pengchao.

What's the matter?

Zhou Zhenggang and Yan Guohua came to Changwu.

Who are they?

One is a famous criminal investigation expert in the public security system.

One is the political commissar of the Provincial Criminal

Investigation General Brigades of the Public Security Department.

Are they coming for our Zhao family?

They're coming for Pengcheng's matter.

We have to do something.

Pengchao, what do you think we should do?

From the clues we have so far,

Chang Zheng

is still the biggest suspect.

[Changwu City, Binjiang Province]

I know Chang Zheng well.

He won't be the murderer.

Deputy Director Xiao, there must be evidence.

I used to be a detective, too.

I know how important evidence is.

But now, there are too many coincidences

pointing to Chang Zheng.

If there are many coincidences, it's doubtful.

For example?

People's Procuratorate just returned the dynamite.

The yacht exploded that night.

Before the incident,

Chang Zheng happened to have boarded the yacht.

He happened to call Zhao Pengcheng.

He even booked

a ticket to Serbia.

It seemed that he wanted to run away.

All these

are in line

with the chronological and logical order.

Comrade Qiufeng.

Don't forget that

Chang Zheng is also a detective.

He would also know

the order that you know.

I'll ask you a question.

Dynamite, surveillance and plane ticket.

Can Chang Zheng do better

so that we can't find him so soon?

He could

buy himself time

if he hid any part of it.

If he gets on the plane,

is it beyond our reach?

From this perspective,

I think what Deputy Director Xiao said

makes sense.

All in all,

I think we should find Chang Zheng first.

Then everything will be clear.

Chang Zheng.

Chang Zheng.

Are you all right?

Well. Are you hungry?

I'll buy you something to eat.

I'll buy some then.

Political Commissar Yan, Chang Zheng is gone.

Political Commissar Yan.

Political Commissar Yan, stop looking.

I've been looking several times.

He didn't even leave a note.

Did Zhang downstairs eavesdrop anything?

No.

He didn't even hear the door open.

Where have you been in the past day?

Wu Fei's and Qin Hongxia's house.

And the scene of the yacht explosion.

By the way, he also asked a policeman

in their detachment

for a video of the explosion scene.

I watched the video.

Nothing can be found besides

seeing Chang Zheng get on and off the yacht.

Right. He was lying there

after watching the video.

He didn't say anything nor move.

Political Commissar Yan.

Does Chang Zheng have obsessive-compulsive disorder?

How do you know that?

He was famous for that at the police academy.

Park the car 20 centimetres away from the fixed pole.

It can't be more or less than that.

The towel should be aligned at both ends.

Even the shoes taken off...

Oh, the shoes.

I usually see him

put his shoes in place.

I just went out to buy something.

His shoes...

I thought he was frustrated.

I didn't expect him to run away.

I didn't think about that.

It was careless of me.

Don't worry.

Chang Zheng won't run away.

Then he...

Did you accompany him

wherever you went?

Yes.

Then you can't go

where he is now.

That's why he...

Why?

Why can't I go?

Maybe it's dangerous.

Or maybe

he doesn't want you to break the rules.

Break the rules?

I got it.

Be careful.

He has no heart but a stomach.

[Zhao Pengcheng's house]

You're here.

How do you know

I can guess you're at Zhao Pengcheng's house?

I would have left you to work alone

if you couldn't even guess this.

Aren't you working alone?

Breaking into a house

without a search warrant.

This is illegal.

And you're a police officer.

It's doubly guilty that you knowingly break the law.

It's different now.

You followed the suspect here.

You won't be blamed if they investigate it later.

Aren't you a police officer, too?

I'm on the wanted list now.

There's nothing else

to worry about. Do you understand?

Have you found anything?

[Changwu People's Court found Zhao Pengxiang not guilty.]

[Changwu Municipal Court]

These are the things

in Zhao Pengcheng's folders.

[The chief culprit of the fight at Bofei Bar was someone else.]

It's all the news about the Zhao family.

[The chief culprit of a gang fight in the street of Huwei Town, Changwu City, was acquitted.]

[Tieshi Mining Group forcibly acquired Qingtian Mining Company and extorted hundreds of millions of assets.]

Did you find out anything?

It's all the news that the Zhao family was suspected

of committing crimes but was not guilty.

No.

He's also a member of the Zhao family.

Why did he keep this?

Could it be...

Zhao Pengcheng might study the news

to find some doubtful points.

I wonder

if he wants to find criminal evidence again

from the past suspected cases

of the Zhao family.

If that's true,

you misunderstood him before.

I didn't know it before.

I haven't seen these.

But we should reconsider

Zhao Pengcheng's stand.

He may not be the same

as the others of the Zhao family.

Or we go to the People's Procuratorate

to ask his colleagues about the situation.

Go ahead.

Who's going?

Can you and I go now?

If I turn myself in

a few days later,

you can go.

Go and ask his disciple.

His disciple has a good relationship with him.

What's his disciple's name?

Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen?

Do you know him?

He was my classmate.

Is there something between you two?

There's nothing between us.

If there's nothing, why do you look angry?

Whether there's something or not,

it'd be easy to handle with an acquaintance.

I'll leave it to you.

Settle it for me.

Why do you leave it to me?

Who else should I leave it to?

I won't be able to go if I'm locked up.

I'm not going.

You...

Well then.

[Gusts of autumn wind carry white clouds.]

[The tree withers, and the leaves fall. The geese fly south.]

[Autumn and winter]

[are the best bird-watching seasons]

[for bird enthusiasts.]

[This season]

[is the peak of bird migration.]

[Every year...]

Hurry up.

Dongwan Wharf.

Hurry up.

Why?

Migration of migratory birds.

When it comes to the migration of migratory birds,

many photographers

and bird enthusiasts

set up cameras

around the bird habitat

to capture the birds' living habits.

Shooting?

Yes.

Hurry up.

Do you really think that

someone will put the camera here?

I heard that

some people who like to capture birds

want to shoot birds sleeping.

So they specially chose this kind of place

and put the camera here

to shoot birds sleeping.

Why don't we find someone to ask?

You can't find anyone.

Why?

They're very particular.

They can't disturb the bird to rest.

So they placed the camera here and left.

Look at this.

Copper wire.

It should be

used to fix the camera.

And they didn't take it.

It must be a long-term shooting spot.

It's directly opposite Dock Number Two.

Yes.

Right?

What are you looking for again?

The bird enthusiasts

will upload beautiful photos

to the bird lovers forum.

Let me see

if there are any photos from this angle.

[A little bird loves sleeping on the water]

Wait a second. Scroll down.

Look at this picture.

[A little bird loves sleeping on the water]

It's here.

Right here.

That's right.

Look at the nickname.

A little bird loves sleeping on the water.

It takes some time to find this person

through this.

You've found the place.

Are you afraid you won't find the person?

Leave it to me.

Hello.

Help me find someone.

I'll send you the information.

Okay. Thank you.

Let's go back.

Let's go.

He's quite smart.

I knew it.

Pengchao.

Shall I destroy those videos?

Destroy?

Why did you take so much effort to record it?

To be honest,

it's something I don't quite understand.

Let me ask you.

In this world, what's the greater gratitude

apart from parents' gratitude?

Saving one's life.

It's close.

Is there anything more extreme?

Extreme?

Sparing one.

The yacht explosion is a dead end.

Now we have the only key.

Chang Zheng is now the only suspect.

Once he's caught

and can't get the video we have,

he'll get into trouble.

We'll spare him by then.

Then you're Chang Zheng's savior.

You gave him a second life.

Then he has to listen to you

no matter what you say.

Pengchao, what should we do next?

Nothing.

Keep them busy.

Shuihua?

Yes, it's the name of a bar.

The netizen

called "A little bird loves sleeping"

is the owner of this bar.

Navigate it. Let's go there now.

Okay.

Miss Ji.

Has Pengchao come back?

Not yet.

What's going on?

He didn't answer my call

or reply to my message.

Is he all right?

I asked his driver.

He said he was going around today.

He said he wanted

to help a friend, Chang,

find some evidence.

Chang Zheng?

Yes.

That's the name, Chang Zheng.

Miss Ji, would you like to wait for a while?

No, I've got to go.

When Pengchao comes back,

please tell him not to be too tired.

It's not easy

to find the evidence.

Tell him to have a good rest.

Don't worry, Miss Ji.

I'll tell him for you.

I'll see you off.

Okay.
