[Dark Night and Dawn]

[Episode 10]

I promise it won't

happen again tomorrow.

There's no tomorrow.

Xiaoman, you follow me tomorrow.

Yes, Director.

Where is the investigation record you kept?

Look. I kept a record

[Arrangement]

of over 130 households.

You investigated very thoroughly.

Every household signed their names.

Of course.

I promised you.

Since I wanted to do it,

I would investigate every household thoroughly

and never miss any clue.

You're still lying to me!

The handwriting

is not yours.

Who wrote this report?

Who conducted the investigation?

I asked the village head for help.

That was a serious breach of discipline!

This is a top secret,

but you asked the village head to help you investigate.

If Wang Liqun is alerted,

who can take the responsibility?

You go reinvestigate tomorrow.

If you leave your post without permission again,

get out of Office 2!

Investigate, investigate.

We've investigated for so long.

Have we found any clue?

You asked me to investigate, and I did it.

I investigated.

I just bought myself some time

to investigate the dancing girl's case.

Can't I do that?

As I said,

I will continue to investigate the dancing girl's case.

The murderer must be Wang Liqun.

I'm going to say it again.

Captain Zhang is investigating the dancing girl's case.

Lin Shaobai, have you ever thought about this?

What if the murderer is not Wang Liqun?

If he's not, I'll resign!

What if he is?

[February 7 in the 30th year of the Republic of China]

[Building the City's Iron Wall]

Thank you, Officer Lin.

[Building the City's Iron Wall]

You're so good at drawing.

Continue to draw

and become a painter in the future, okay?

I want to be a reporter.

I want more people to know

great heroes like you.

Don't worry, Wangju.

I will catch this scumbag.

[Building the City's Iron Wall]

Since June 5,

the gold yuan notes have been allowed to circulate in the market.

What should we do about the gold yuan notes

the civilians have?

These gold yuan notes

have turned into worthless paper

due to Kuomintang's exploitation

and reckless printing and issuing.

But the Communist Party is not like Kuomintang.

If these gold yuan notes are voided,

the ones who will suffer losses...

Why are you nervous?

F-Falcon.

Wh-Why are you here?

Can't I visit you when I'm free?

There are rules for making contact.

What can I do for you?

I want some money from you.

Taiwan would transfer money to you on time, right?

It's across the sea. It's not that punctual.

How much do you want?

Not much. I want 25,000.

Silver dollars.

I don't want Renminbi.

Even if this is a bank,

I couldn't withstand you asking for this much.

Mr. Jin, we know better than you

how much money you have.

How many people did you plant around me?

Don't think too much.

How can we work in the NBIS

if we can't handle that trivial thing properly?

The money I ask you for

is nothing to you.

Don't pretend to be poor in front of me.

I'll give you the money,

but I have a small request.

Go ahead.

Since you've decided to use me,

can you establish a contact base?

You just came to me directly.

What if someone finds out?

Establishing a contact base is good

and safe for everyone.

If there is any special situation,

I can contact you directly.

A contact base? No need for that.

It's for safety's sake.

Alright, let's not talk about it.

Let's not talk about it.

25,000 silver dollars

is not a small amount.

How should I give it to you

without making others suspicious?

I don't know how.

I've established an HSBC account.

[HSBC Account Name: Li Jiangjing]

This is my account number.

42516.

Transfer the money into the account.

Mr. Jin,

not a penny less.

[HSBC Account Name: Li Wenjing]

[HSBC Account Name: Li Wenjing]

This account is the only clue.

I'll transfer a sum of money into it.

I see.

I'll keep an eye on

whoever withdraws the money.

But we need to establish connections within the bank.

Money can do everything.

Their employees will follow my orders.

[Eastern Times]

I want to withdraw money. Silver dollars only.

Please wait a minute.

[Savings Department of HSBC Account Name: Li Wenjing]

Sorry, sir.

Please wait a moment.

To Changjiang Road.

Rickshaw.

[Hongda Trading Company]

[Hongda Trading Company]

Mr. Jin,

I found him.

Should I do it?

He's not the only one I want you to kill.

I also want you to kill his superior.

Then you need to pay more.

Money is not a problem.

Isn't this Yang?

Honey, come and take a look.

Coming.

Is this Yang?

Yes, Yang Jun.

How do you know him?

He is our tenant.

He has been renting our house.

But he just left yesterday.

Do you know where he went?

When he left, he said

he was going to Xuzhou.

That's right.

What a mess.

The landlord said

Wang Liqun seldom talked usually.

He said deliberately he was going to Xuzhou when he left.

I think that is a smokescreen

to deliberately mislead us.

Report.

I found a transmitter-receiver.

Give me a pencil.

Take the water route to Hangzhou.

Then Wang Liqun has arrived in Hangzhou.

Director,

we need to inform Hangzhou

and ask Hangzhou's police to assist us in arresting him.

Okay.

Take all the evidence in the house

back to the bureau.

-Yes. -Yes.

I've checked

the information on Zhao Wangju.

She was a dancing girl in the White Club.

Who has she been around recently?

Zhao Wangju?

Isn't she Lin Li?

She stopped working here long ago.

She came here three years ago.

She only worked here for two months.

Where does she work now?

How would I know that?

It's a big world.

Maybe she went to Southeast Asia with some man.

Gentlemen,

why do you insist on having her accompany you?

There are many beautiful girls here.

The price is negotiable.

Be serious.

Money is not a problem.

Since we're here today,

ask all the beautiful girls here to come out

and let us take a look.

Okay.

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?

We can't come here for nothing.

Don't be so nervous.

I've never been nervous.

Come on.

Wei Bo.

Wei Bo, give me a hand.

Zhou Hong.

Coming.

Come.

What's wrong?

The cable is stuck here.

Something's not right.

The cable is too clean.

If this transmitter-receiver has been used for a long time,

this cable should be covered with dust.

You mean this transmitter-receiver

was given to Wang Liqun recently?

Transmitter-receivers are usually high-power.

Wang Liqun has made many movements recently.

If he used it frequently,

it should be reflected through the electricity meter.

The electricity meters were just read after the Liberation.

We paid the bills once.

This is the bill left by the Administration of Power Supply last time.

He used 17 or 18 kWh of electricity per month.

Huzi.

Check

how much electricity he used after the Liberation.

After the Liberation, he used...

one point...

Less than 2 kWh.

Look carefully.

That's right, Director. Less than 2 kWh.

If that's the case,

there's only one possibility.

The transmitter-receiver was specially left here.

It's for misleading us again.

He's so cunning.

Now it's useless to investigate in Putuo again.

Obviously, Wang Liqun has found out

we've been investigating in Putuo.

He won't come back again.

What should we do, Director?

Since he lived here,

traces must have been left.

Next, we should

visit the surrounding areas

to investigate carefully.

We definitely can find useful clues.

Anyone who knows Lin Li

can have the money.

-I know her. -I know her.

We are good friends.

Anyone who knows her real name

can have the money!

Real name? What's her real name?

-How would I know that? -I've never heard of it.

I know.

Her name is Zhao Wangju.

Which dance hall does she work in now?

[Wenpu Clinic]

Remember to take medicine on time after you go back.

Are you here to see a doctor?

We're not here to see a doctor.

[81]

Has this man ever been to your clinic?

He has been here a few times.

I think his name is Yang Jun.

What did he tell you?

Or... do you remember anything about him?

He never talked to me.

He always went in directly to see Mr. Zhao.

I guess he told Mr. Zhao his things.

Can we ask Mr. Zhao to cooperate with our investigation?

Please.

[Wenpu Clinic]

Mr. Zhao is blind.

He needs me by his side.

Yang Jun

came to me more than ten times.

Mostly, he came to buy medicinal wine.

He

was very generous.

I think he always had a smell of rouge.

It's normal.

A man like him

must have a lot of women.

Although I'm blind,

I can tell he is very tough

and has many scars on his body

by touching him.

Doctors

don't ask what our clients do.

But once he said himself

he is a member of the Green Gang.

[Arrangement]

What else did he talk to you about?

I remember.

Once,

I think he said

he also went to Zhenrong Clinic a few times.

But he always felt it was not good enough.

He thought they were not as skilled as me.

It's not proper to belittle my peers.

So I could only say

everyone has

their own strengths.

Mr. Zhao, do you know

where Zhenrong Clinic is?

Hello.

Police.

[Special Work Certificate]

Boss,

have you seen this man recently?

He's Yang Jun who lives nearby.

He came to my shop to buy

cigarettes and soaps a few times recently.

He dressed like a boss.

But

he is a very shrewd buyer.

He knows the purchasing cost

of everything in my shop clearly.

And every time he bargained,

he managed to bring the price down

to the break-even point.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's her.

When was the last time you saw her?

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Are you the boss?

Take a look at this photo.

This is Lin Li.

Take a look.

She was missing for so long.

Why didn't you call the police?

The dancing girls here have complicated social networks.

Sometimes it's normal for them to be taken out

to have fun for a few days.

I really didn't know, Officer.

You mean she was taken out?

What does the person who took her out look like?

He's tall,

with long arms and legs.

He also has a high nose bridge.

Was it him?

Yes.

Does he have any characteristics?

I really can't remember.

You are the boss. You have a good memory.

Think harder.

His appearance, clothing, speech, or behavior.

Anything.

I remember.

His clothing.

When he came that day,

he was wearing a tailor-made business suit of Baromon.

Clearly it was brand-new.

Baromon?

Our trip was not in vain.

[Arrangement]

We found that

Wang Liqun knows clearly about

department stores' purchasing cost.

I guess his hidden identity

is related to department stores' business.

Maybe

he is the boss of a department store.

But there are hundreds of department stores

in Shanghai.

The area is too large.

Wang Liqun is injured.

He won't take the risk to travel too far.

According to the information we just got from Mr. Zhao,

[Arrangement]

Wang Liqun went to Zhenrong Clinic in Jing'an District

a few times.

If that's the case,

his another residence

shouldn't be far from Zhenrong Clinic.

It should be nearby.

Then our investigation area will be greatly narrowed.

Boss, have you seen this man?

No.

Take a close look.

There are many people coming here every day,

but I really have never

seen this man.

Okay.

If you have any information

or clue,

contact us.

Okay.

Thank you.

Let's go to the next store.

We've investigated so many stores.

Why do we have to investigate no matter what we do?

Alright, stop complaining.

Brace yourself up.

Lu.

These are all the registered department stores in Jing'an District.

We can't check them one by one.

It might alert him.

How about this?

I'll invite Mr. Zhao back again.

He has sharp hearing

and is familiar with Wang Liqun's voice.

We'll call the department stores one by one

and ask him to confirm if that's Wang Liqun.

Maybe it won't be Wang Liqun answering the call,

but we should consider all the possibilities.

Okay.

Mr. Zhao,

do you still remember Yang Jun's voice?

Yes.

I'm blind,

so I have very sharp hearing.

Don't worry.

If you hear Yang Jun's voice,

just nod.

If not, shake your head.

Okay.

Xinguang Department Store.

51927.

Hello, this is Xinguang Department Store.

Hello, what goods do you have?

Okay, thank you.

[Xinguang Department Store, 51927]

Xingfu Department Store.

62470.

This is a restaurant.

We want to buy some goods.

Chenguang Department Store.

32458.

[Chenguang Department Store, 32458]

[Yayun Department Store, 76490]

Yayun Department Store.

76490.

Babaiban Department Store.

[Babaiban Department Store, 82470]

82470.

Chenguang Department Store.

Okay, thank you.

Let me do it. You take a rest.

Which one next?

Hongda Trading Company.

29873.

Hello.

Hongda Trading Company?

Yes.

I run a restaurant.

I want to buy some dry goods

from your store to make dishes.

I wonder if you have all kinds of goods.

We have an ample supply of goods.

You can come to the store to have a look.

Okay.

We'll go there later.

I'm going out to buy a bottle of wine and a chicken.

Take care of the store.

Okay.

Was that Yang Jun's voice?

I'm sure it was Yang Jun.

Hongda Trading Company.

Go there to arrest him immediately.

-Yes. -Yes.

Yes, it was him.

Please check the delivery record.

[Dayang Department Store Order date: June 5]

[Hongda Trading Company Order date: June 8]

It was him.

Hongda Trading Company.

June 8.

The person who killed the dancing girl

is the agent we are hunting for.

I'll tell Lu.

Boss, I need to borrow your telephone.

No one is answering.

We can't wait any longer, Captain Zhang.

We must arrest him immediately.

[Hongda Trading Company]

[Selling building materials and hardware]

Do you remember what I just said?

Yes, sir.

Move.

[Hongda Trading Company]

[Hongda Trading Company]

Mugen, right?

You're... Mr. Li who just called, right?

Yes.

You said you want to buy some dry goods to make dishes.

Take a look. What would you like to buy?

I just want to buy some groceries here and deliver them to Songjiang.

Take a look.

Our store

has all kinds of goods.

What are the wholesale prices?

If it's wholesale,

you need to give me a list.

I'll calculate the total amount.

A list?

I haven't calculated it yet.

But I'm sure the quantity will be substantial.

If I buy a lot,

how will the pricing be determined?

Where is your boss?

He went out.

I take care of the store's business now.

Just tell me what you want.

The quality is really good.

Yes, there's more over there.

Daylily.

Take a look.

Where is this daylily from?

This is locally harvested fresh daylily.

It's top-quality.

What about the black fungus?

It's also locally harvested.

Take a look. The quality...

Be quiet.

After him!

[Hongda Trading Company]

Stop!

Don't move!

Catch him! Hurry!

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

-Don't move! -Stop!

Get out of the way!

Stop!

Get out of the way!

Stop!

Freeze!

Get out of the way!

Stop!

Don't move!

Drop the knife.

Drop the knife!

Drop the knife!

It's just impossible to get rid of you.

Wang Liqun,

you can't escape.

If you resist desperately, you'll only end up dead.

Am I afraid of death?

Lu Zhengyang,

it's just impossible to get rid of you.

You're so annoying.

Four years ago, when I killed your comrade,

it was the same as now.

I don't believe you dare to pull the trigger.

Wang Liqun!

Cut the crap.

What's your name?

Step forward.

Come on.

Lu!

Why are you here?

I saved you just now.

Who asked you to shoot him?

Director, he's dying.

If you had aimed just two centimeters lower when you shot, you would have hit his heart.

Get ready to perform an operation.

[Operating room Staff only]

That's all for now, okay?

Okay.

Lu,

how is your injury?

It's okay. It's just a minor injury.

Lu.

Zhang.

So?

Mugen knows nothing.

He just wanted to earn silver dollars

to support his younger sister's education.

I don't think he was pretending.

Wang Liqun is very cautious.

He wouldn't leave too many traces.

What did I tell you?

He must have killed the dancing girl.

You didn't believe me.

[Operating Room]

That's merely a coincidence.

Shut your mouth.

Shaobai showed remarkable coordination with our operation

this time.

[Doctors' Office]

Shaobai,

if you go to the Criminal Police Division,

I promise I'll make you a regular employee immediately.

Don't even think about it.

Lin Shaobai is still a member of Office 2.

He violated the discipline.

He must be punished.

Today, if I didn't timely...

That's a different matter.

You'll be punished for violating the discipline and rewarded for saving me.

Zhengyang.

[Operating Room]

Deputy Commissioner Yang.

How about this?

Interrogate him

as soon as he wakes up,

so that there won't be more trouble.

It will stir up a storm since we've caught someone powerful.

Deputy Commissioner Yang,

before we transfer Wang Liqun back to the bureau,

please allow Zhang to strengthen the hospital's security

with the Criminal Police Division's men.

Okay.

How about this? You go arrange it now.

Make sure the security is loose outside but stringent inside.

We can't disrupt the hospital's normal operations.

I'll handle it right away.

[Be quiet]

Deputy Commissioner Yang.

[Surgical Clinic 1]

This is...

Lin Shaobai, right?

It's me.

Good.

Director Lu thinks highly of you.

He said you are gifted

in solving cases.

The organization will consider

your formal application for joining the Public Security Bureau.

Director Lu said that about me?

That seems unlikely.

He was scolding me just now.

Maybe he is a bit strict with you.

You'll understand in the future.

Working with him

will make you grow quickly and improve a lot.

Got it, Deputy Commissioner Yang.

I'll continue to work hard.

Okay.

Don't forget to write a self-criticism letter

of 5,000 words.

Not a word short.

What is this about?

It's just a normal task.

It's just a normal task.

His heartbeat and blood pressure are normal.

He's been caught by the police?

He has to die.

Kill him

before he confesses.

Mr. Jin,

it's almost impossible to kill him under the heavy guard

of the police.

Nine years ago,

the NBIS assassinated Fu Xiao'an, the former mayor of Shanghai.

How did they succeed?

They managed to kill someone under the Japanese people's nose.

But you can't kill people under the Communist Party's nose?

Mr. Jin,

I will keep a close eye on him and look for a chance.

If he confesses,

neither of us

will be able to get away.

So Wang Liqun has to die.

I don't want the Social Affairs Office or the NBIS

to know our existence either.

Got it.

How is he?

His heart is not injured.

It's not a serious problem.

Thank you.

[Doctors' Office]

Deputy Commissioner Yang, I've arranged everything.

Okay.

Your main task is to cooperate with Director Lu

to ensure the hospital's security is flawless.

Got it.

Got it.

Four Characters.

Here, have some fruit.

The fruit pieces are too big.

They don't fit in my mouth.

Then... I'm going to cut them into smaller pieces.

Forget it.

Mr. Zheng, you're such a good man.

Mrs. Zheng is so lucky.

Principal Shen,

let's go to Mr. Zheng's place some other day, okay?

Okay, you're welcome anytime.

Zheng.

You have good luck today.

Don't you want to play?

I'm just here to lend a hand.

I can take the chance

to review the students' homework.

It's the weekend.

Why do you have to review their homework now?

I can chow this tile.

Let me answer it.

Principal, you go on.

Hello, this is Principal Shen's place.

Are you Lanting?

Did you buy the medicine? My stomach hurts a lot.

Okay.

I'll go now.

Well.

I forgot to take the medicine

my wife asked me to buy.

Now,

the pharmacy is about to close.

I need to get the medicine first.

But you don't have to be so scared.

You look like you're hen-pecked.

Sorry.

Enjoy yourselves.

I'll treat you to midnight snacks some other day.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Principal, win big.

Whose turn?

Whose turn?

Come on.

Why did you use the emergency code?

Falcon has been caught.

Wang Liqun is not like Jin Maochang or Xu Wei.

We don't have his family in our hands.

We have to destroy all the files as soon as possible

and transfer immediately.

I believe in Falcon's loyalty.

We should also be confident in him.

You want to save him?

I'll go to the hospital tomorrow.

I'll go.

You can't show up at this point.

Okay.

[Map of Guangci Hospital]

This is the situation outside.

As for the inside,

here, here,

and here.

These are crucial locations for the deployment.

Don't worry.

They'll be here soon.

Lu,

what is all this about?

The Criminal Police Division

is doing its best to protect an agent.

I can't believe it.

He's not an ordinary agent.

If we can make him confess,

we can gain information on someone more powerful behind him.

So,

besides security measures,

we need to think about

how to interrogate him.

It's not that easy to make an agent like Wang Liqun

confess.

And Lin Shaobai,

in future operations,

you must never behave

as you did during last time's investigation.

Don't worry, Director Lu. I won't.

Shaobai,

are you afraid of Lu?

He's not a tiger.

He won't eat you.

I'm afraid of him?

I saved him twice.

Right, Director Lu?

No one is as smart as you.

The door of the Criminal Police Division

will always remain open to you.

You're poaching him in front of me again.

Zhang, that is immoral.

I haven't succeeded yet.

Dad.

You're going to work so early?

I'm not going to the bureau today.

I'm going to the hospital.

Dad.

This is...

You came at the right time. Help me bundle them up.

Your Uncle Liu is going to be buried today.

He worked in the yarn factory for decades.

Today is his funeral.

I'm his old friend. I should go say goodbye.

The flowers are for him.

Don't be too sad.

The person who killed him has been caught.

Uncle Liu can rest in peace.

The murderer has been caught?

I knew it. People who do bad things

will be caught sooner or later.

Yan, let me ask you.

Who killed him?

Why did he have to

kill your Uncle Liu?

The murderer is still unconscious.

Director Lu hasn't interrogated him yet.

Dad, I should get going.

Okay.

In spring, bamboo shoots sprout.

In spring, bamboo shoots sprout.

We pick bamboo shoots to make soup.

Jiang,

what are you cooking?

Braised tofu with vegetables.

This dish is good.

It has a refreshing taste.

I like it very much.

I like it very much.

Father told me...

Father told me

garden vegetables...

Dabao, Xiaobao,

read the textbook a few more times.

The meal is ready.

Okay.

Okay.

Yang.

The coat is ready.

[Guangci Hospital]

[Guangci Hospital]

It's too new. Make it older.

Okay, Yang.

Give it to me.

Dabao, Xiaobao, come in to eat.

Time to eat.

Okay.

Tell Xiaoman and Lin Shaobai

to get ready to interrogate him.

Yes.

Do you know this person?

I asked you to look at the photo!

Have you seen him?

Wang Liqun,

don't think we can't convict you

because you're playing dumb here.

We have evidence against you

in the vault's case, the case of Mr. Liu from the yarn factory,

the dancing girl's case, and the case from four years ago.

You didn't expect this either, right?

You committed so many crimes,

but you got caught because of a dancing girl in the end.

Did you think you were awesome

and no one could catch you?

But in fact,

you were just lucky.

You're just a greedy and lecherous loser.

Understand?

Young man,

provocation doesn't work on me.

Lu Zhengyang, is this your team?

It's not good.

We are in the same field.

I know about

interrogations.

Four years ago,

I killed your comrade with a butterfly knife.

I killed him with just one stab.

You're quite an odd person.

You don't hate me.

It's been four years.

Even hatred hasn't made you improve.

Idiotic.
