[Episode 17]

Did you kill him?

Just tell me the truth.

I won't betray my buddy.

Yes.

I didn't see it.

I didn't see it.

I saw nothing.

Run away.

Just run away.

How?

Chen Jun.

You know what?

When you pierce a knife into the heart and pull it out,

the blood will splash up to three to five meters high.

So much blood.

The killer could never erase

his traces.

Because it's impossible for him not to be splattered with blood.

Even if he washes it off,

there are special devices that can detect it.

Chen Jun.

Do you think

the police will be able to find out?

Will they?

Can they?

Can they?

It's only a matter of time.

Go back and have a rest.

Chen Jun.

Go home now.

Chen Jun.

Screw you!

My God!

[Tender Light]

Have you seen this photo before?

Yes.

Where?

Who took it?

I did.

You?

Yes.

Did you follow Xu Yi before?

I wanted to find the proof of his crimes.

To use it as leverage to get a divorce and child custody.

Then how did Xu Jian

get this photo?

Xu Jian?

Yes.

I don't know.

Had Xu Yi ever seen this photo?

No.

He probably found it himself.

When you were following Xu Yi,

did you notice anything off with him?

There was definitely something

between him and Liu Changshui.

But I only managed to take some photos.

I didn't find any concrete evidence.

When did you take this photo?

I don't remember.

It was probably after Xu Yi reported Liu Changshui.

Are there any other photos?

Yes.

They're similar to this one.

Photos of their meetings,

them arguing

and them on the streets.

That's all.

The night Xu Yi was killed,

did you show him this photo?

No.

Morning.

Officer Lin.

I didn't take that photo.

Who did it, then?

I stole it

from Xu Yi's place.

Morning.

You're early.

Take a look.

Do you really think it was Nan Ya who took these photos?

Who else could it be?

If she had taken these photos,

when Liu Changshui went missing

after meeting Xu Yi at that restaurant,

she could've guessed then

that Liu Changshui had likely been killed by Xu Yi.

She probably did guess it

and used it to threaten him.

But she denied that she knew about this.

Well, murder isn't like buying ingredients or cooking meals.

It was said Liu Changshui ran away,

so no one would entertain the other notion.

To take such photos,

the person must have staked out for a long time.

Whereas Nan Ya

had a store to run and a kid to look after,

there was no time to accomplish

such laborious and time-consuming work.

Besides,

wouldn't it be obvious

for her to follow him?

Be quiet.

Okay.

Also,

don't forget.

Where was this photo found?

It was in Xu Yi's house.

What it shows

is absolutely detrimental

for Xu Yi.

But what was Xu Yi doing?

He was leisurely having a dinner with Chen Ling

and agreed to get a divorce as Chen Ling persuaded.

Then he waited until the fireworks on Millennium Night

before he lost his mind

and decided to kill Nan Ya.

That just doesn't make any sense.

So, what's your conclusion?

The isn't that simple.

I'm afraid it's more complicated than murder.

And the bottle?

Is there hot water?

You are here early.

Drink some.

I just filled the hot water.

Go!

Zhou Luo!

Here.

Okay.

Drink slowly.

Okay, enough.

You can do it!

Qingli!

Who are you waiting for here?

Don't make trouble.

I'll wait here for a while with you.

No, don't. Don't be a third wheel.

Get up.

You don't usually care about me that much.

Go.

Hurry up.

So annoying.

We'll wait for you ahead.

Bye-bye. Take care.

We're off!

Bye-bye.

We're leaving, Mr. Wang.

Bye, sir.

Bye.

Are you seated?

Yes.

Isn't that Zhou Luo?

Yes.

Who's the girl?

She's Zhang Huashan's daughter.

Huashan's daughter?

From the school next door.

Zhou Luo's something.

She's dating an expired top scorer.

A repeat student with an expelled student.

Pretty good match, I'd say.

What's the secret to date both young and old?

Yeah, teach us how you made it.

What's the difference between those in the 20s

and those in the 40s?

How different are they?

I'm sorry.

Actually,

I kind of wish

every day would be like today.

You know what?

I didn't know how to get closer

to you before.

I always thought

that you were good at your studies.

You're smart.

And you're kind of aloof.

I didn't know how to start a conversation

or chat with you.

As for the books you read

and the music you listen to,

they all seem different from what we like.

I haven't even heard most of them.

I always thought

maybe we could never

become that kind of friends.

But now,

I feel like we're much closer.

Now,

I study hard every day.

My results have improved a lot too.

It's all because of you.

I'm trying quite hard.

Because I want to get into a university in Beijing too.

I want to be in the same city as you.

But I'm not sure if I can do a good job on the exam.

You will.

You'll surely do well.

Before, I was always impatient

about a lot of things.

But now,

I don't feel pressured at all.

Because we're still young.

There's plenty of time.

I believe

that nothing is impossible.

[Guanghua Photo Studio]

Sir.

Hello, how can I help you?

I'm a police officer.

Officer.

Could you check

if this photo was developed by you?

I'm really sorry.

You see, I have to develop

a whole bunch of photos in a day.

It's hard for me to tell.

Please take a closer look.

This photo

is definitely not from here.

You can check the photo paper we use.

It's different, right?

Then could you tell what kind of camera

was used to take this photo?

It was probably

a good SLR.

Are there any other photo studios like this

in the area?

Mine is the only one here.

You'll have to go to the city

if you want to find another one.

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

Take care.

Xu Yi.

Where is my dad?

I already told you many times.

Stop following me.

Your dad did something bad and ran away.

He even stole money from my company.

I'm also looking for him.

Nonsense!

You're the crook.

You're paying my dad to take the blame.

When my dad disagreed,

you set him up!

Listen up, kid. I'm in a bad mood today.

This matter has nothing to do with you.

You better stay far away from me!

Get out of the car!

Xu Yi!

Tell me where my dad is.

Listen!

I know

about your dirty deals!

You followed me?

Did you take these?

You little rascal.

Jerk!

You're a loser,

just like your dad!

Two losers

want to set me up?

Troublemaker!

Tell me.

What else did you photograph?

Hand them over.

If you don't hand them over,

you're going to die right here!

If you don't tell me,

I'm going to keep following you.

Hand them over!

When did you buy

that sticker on your bike?

It has nothing to do with you.

It has.

When?

Lunatic.

Where did you get the sticker?

My cousin got it for me from Shanghai.

I saw your bike

outside Xu Yi's company.

Did you go there?

No.

I remember what I saw.

Speak up.

I said, speak up!

It's none of your business.

Are you sleepwalking?

Why would I go to his company?

That's why I'm asking you.

Did you lend your bike to someone?

Who was it?

Who was it?

Was it Zhou Luo?

Why would I lend it to him?

This is a bike designed for women.

If you're free,

then study harder.

Stop wasting time feeling envious of others.

Why would I be envious of him?

He's just a pathetic jerk who got expelled.

What is there to be jealous of?

He was involved

with a forty-plus-year-old teacher.

Don't be that loud.

He got expelled because he already had admission.

But you?

You aren't even qualified to get expelled.

Are you stupid or what?

He's clearly just taking advantage of you

and yet you defend him?

Can't you see it?

He's just a hypocritical jerk!

What are you, then?

A despicable prick!

I...

Do you guys think

that because we were blackmailing Xu Yi,

Liu Changshui got killed?

Xu Yi must have convinced Liu Changshui to take the blame

so he could get away with it unscathed.

He reported Liu Changshui for absconding with the money

but secretly made a deal with him.

There's definitely something fishy.

Maybe we should report it to the police.

Just shut up.

Liu Changshui has been missing for some days.

Maybe he's really run away.

We can't get him to be convicted

with just these photos.

What do we do, then?

Yeah.

We could threaten him.

How?

Yeah, how?

Do you have a blank envelope?

Yes.

You've got everything at your house.

Will this work?

Here.

Yes.

We'll send him this photo.

If he's hiding something,

it'll definitely fluster him.

Then we don't need

to look for evidence ourselves.

You're right.

As expected from a top scorer.

Qingli, you should learn more from Zhou Luo.

You are the one who should learn from him.

Gosh.

What should we write on it?

Nothing.

We'll just send him the photo

and see how he reacts.

We'll then send him another photo

every couple of days.

Xu Yi hasn't been to the company for a few days.

Even when he's here, he's acting sneaky.

Could he have noticed?

Yeah, it must be.

We've sent some photos to his company,

some to his house,

and even left some in his car.

He's probably frightened.

I think it's a little bugged.

Maybe we should stop following him tomorrow.

I haven't been home at all during the break.

My dad has noticed it.

You're right.

You still need to go to school tomorrow, so stop following him.

I can do it myself.

You'll keep following him, Zhou Luo?

Aren't you too invested in this matter?

Isn't that Liu Xun?

Liu Xun just ran by.

What's he doing here?

Chen Jun.

Let's go and check it out.

Be careful.

You too.

Tell me.

What else did you photograph?

Hand them over!

He's going to kill him.

What do we do?

We have to save him.

Barging in won't do any good.

The electric switch.

Go, hurry!

Zhou Luo.

I'll be honest with you today.

I actually kind of envy you.

I might seem like I don't care

and don't want to go to university.

However,

I've been envying you.

You're smart.

Who wouldn't want to be smart?

If I were as smart as you,

I'd definitely leave this place.

Who wouldn't want to be a top student

and go to a prestigious school?

What's the saying again?

A "bright future", right?

But for some people, they might never

cross paths with that prospect.

Never ever.

Why are you looking at me?

Didn't I make myself clear?

Not everyone is

as lucky as you.

Madam Guixiang and Mr. Zhou

are like us.

We are all normal people.

But you...

Don't waste that good brain of yours.

As for those things we did before,

they have nothing to do with you.

And whatever happened that night,

you don't have to tell me.

To me, it means nothing.

But the moment this mess is over,

I want you to leave.

Leave and fight for your future.

Say goodbye

to all the people and things here!

You hear me?

Why did Xu Yi kill my dad?

When he was still alive, he had threatened Xu Yi.

This was the last time your father showed up.

That restaurant is owned by Xu Yi.

It is only two kilometers from where the body was hidden.

I just want to know.

Who took this photo?

We're not sure just yet.

Sir.

Sir.

[Guanghua Photo Studio]

Could you take a look at this for me?

It looks like a composite.

I can't see clearly without my glasses.

Let me take a look outside.

Quickly, please.

I don't think it's the original.

Look.

Here.

The focus can't be here and there at the same time.

This is a composite of two photos.

But...

But this photo wasn't developed at our studio.

So, who tampered with it

and left it in our studio?

You're right.

That's odd.

This is really baffling.

Sir.

Sir.

What?

Do you remember

who it was that brought here the stack of bad films?

I don't remember.

They never came back to get them.

The photos.

Where are they?

I threw them away.

No one wanted them.

Why should I keep them?

I need to find my glasses.

I can't do anything without them.

This is blank.

January.

There's no January.

Zhou Luo.

I'm here to get Zhou Luo's photos.

Sure, just a minute.

Are they ready?

Yes, yes.

They turned out very good.

You know this photo, right?

Get out.

You took this photo, right?

You deliberately left it at the photo studio

so that I'd take it to the police.

You also photographed my dad and Xu Yi

at the restaurant, didn't you?

I don't want to talk to a crazy mutt.

Then why don't you look at me?

If you hadn't taken these photos,

Xu Yi wouldn't have killed my dad!

If I had taken the photo,

I'd at least make it clearer.

It was you!

You caused my dad's death!

I think you missed an important point.

Wasn't your dad killed

because the spoils were unevenly distributed?

Although he is the victim of this homicide,

it doesn't clear him

of his involvement in the bridge case.

What are you looking at?

I'm going to destroy you!

I'll make sure

you're never allowed into a university!

Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo.

Why is it always you?

We will now begin the eighth set of radio calisthenics.

Walk in place. Ready, go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, stop.

Stretching exercises.

Ready, start.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Four, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Chest expansion exercises.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

What about Zhou Luo?

What do you guys think about him?

He's a top student.

He's totally different

in this cram school.

However, to us,

he's one of our best friends.

Fanglu,

just get straight to the point.

Go to the radio room.

It's nothing.

I'm just having a casual chat with you guys.

Excuse us.

What do you guys

think about Zhou Luo's personality?

He's pretty nice.

Is that all?

He's smart,

kind,

and sincere.

And loyal.

Do you guys think

that Zhou Luo is an impulsive person

in his daily life?

He's a guy.

I think it's normal for a guy to be impulsive.
