[Dark Night and Dawn]

[Episode 28]

I think he planted a spy

around me.

Planted a spy?

Who could it be?

There must be a reason for things going wrong.

Think about it.

Since when

things started to go wrong?

Since Liu Mingjian was killed.

Everything was fine before that.

Before Liu Mingjian died,

he threatened me

with many accounts.

Some of them

were beyond his reach.

So I guess

someone must have given them to him.

During that period,

Mr. Li of the sugar factory came.

He said

he came to share experience with the textile factory.

He also drank wine with Mr. Liu a few times.

Li Yuquan doesn't drink.

That's right.

As you said just now,

something went wrong.

By the way, Mr. Jin,

why does Shrike insist

on building a sugar research institute

in Li Yuquan's sugar factory

instead of somewhere else?

Isn't he worried Li Yuquan will find out?

I remember Yan

went to investigate the anthrax's case.

I asked her later

how she got in.

What did she say?

Yan said

Mr. Li personally went to negotiate.

That was how she got in.

Then I thought about it.

Those agents

only listen to Falcon and Shrike.

Why would they listen to Li Yuquan?

Unless he is an agent.

That ungrateful jerk.

Mr. Jin, you treated him so well.

Since he's willing to be a spy,

he should know the consequences of a spy.

To deal with Shrike,

we need to get rid of the spy first.

Will this...

irritate Shrike?

The art of battle

is not about fighting head-on.

You mean...

We need to make the spy

disappear without anyone

knowing.

Here, over here.

Put it here.

Report!

Lin Shaobai from Office 2 is here to report for duty!

No one is paying any attention to you at all.

Still, Office 2 is better.

Thanks.

Don't thank me.

Your seat is still occupied by me.

Hurry up and sort out your things.

Lin Shaobai!

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Lin Shaobai.

Come in.

I'm going to Lu.

Show some respect.

That's what happened.

The people we caught in the warehouse were just nobodies.

I only saw Xu Wei.

I didn't see Shrike.

The incendiary bombs made by Xu Wei

also include white phosphorus

besides napalm.

Once they ignite,

even water can't put them out.

It's not easy to get white phosphorus.

He made almost 100 incendiary bombs.

So a lot of white phosphorus was needed.

Huzi and the others have conducted an investigation.

These

are the names

of the companies and factories involved

in recent transactions of white phosphorus.

One of them is familiar to you.

[Jin's Sugar Factory: 500 kilograms of white phosphorus, Jin Maochang]

Uncle Jin?

The incendiary bombs were found in a few warehouses.

They are also his properties.

You suspect Uncle Jin?

He purchased white phosphorus

and his warehouses were involved.

That inevitably makes him suspicious.

But Jin Maochang

has always been a progressive entrepreneur.

We just saved him not long ago.

I don't believe

he would stand against the government.

But the work that needs to be done

still has to be done.

I know.

You want to investigate him,

but you don't want to hurt his feelings.

So you can only send me, who is close to him.

That's the most appropriate way.

You catch on to it quickly.

Cut it out.

This kind of thing would offend people.

Fine.

I'll figure something out.

Okay, Mr. Jin.

We've got a basic understanding of the warehouses' situation.

One more thing.

Young officer, feel free to ask.

I'll answer your questions.

Not long ago, did your factory

purchase a batch of white phosphorus?

Yes.

It's true.

Is it also related to the agents' case?

How much did you purchase?

What was it used for?

I can't recall the exact amount,

but it was around 300 catties or so.

Did you personally check the white phosphorus

when it was delivered?

No.

The factories report how much

they need.

I just need to sign it.

The factories that need much white phosphorus now

are the match factory

and the sugar factory.

There are records in the factories.

If you need,

I can take you to verify them.

It's okay. No need to trouble you.

We can go ourselves.

Uncle Jin, do you have those accounts

here at home?

Yes.

They're on the desk in my study.

I'll go get them for you.

No need, Uncle Jin.

Xiaoman,

you go take a look.

Ms. Zhang.

Yes.

Please take my colleague to the study.

Okay.

Uncle Jin, there are only the two of us now.

If there is anything uncomfortable,

you can tell me directly.

What uncomfortable thing would I have?

I've said everything I should.

Don't be worried.

You watched me grow up.

Our families go way back.

If you're really in trouble,

I'll do whatever it takes to help you.

Shaobai,

I just want to ask you one thing.

Do the police suspect me

of having ties to the agents?

No.

But I'll just break the rules

and tell you this.

When Kuomintang ruled Shanghai,

your business was prosperous.

So it was inevitable that you helped the NBIS.

If agents are causing you trouble

and you can't go to the police,

I can help sort it out for you.

Really?

I helped people solve many problems when I was in the bureau.

It's a new society now.

It's better to resolve things early.

If there are more people involved,

there could be bigger trouble.

Thank you.

But like you said, this is a new society.

I really don't have any trouble.

Even if there is something,

everything should be handled

transparently and by the book.

That's how I can prove I'm innocent.

Okay.

Since you put it that way, Uncle Jin, I feel relieved.

Lin Shaobai,

I've checked all of them.

Okay.

We have gained

all the information we want today.

We'll just verify a few things later.

If you're not in a rush,

stay for a meal.

No need.

Next time when I'm not on official business,

I'll come for a proper meal.

You don't have to be so formal with me.

Ms. Zhang,

help me walk them out.

Yes, My Lord.

Please.

Have a good rest, Uncle Jin.

So,

Jin Maochang did purchase white phosphorus.

But it's only for his factories.

He doesn't know

what it has been used for.

Based on the investigation, that's the situation.

Director, I have something to report.

Go ahead.

During the investigation,

Lin Shaobai deliberately sent me away

to talk to Jin Maochang privately.

I don't know what they talked about.

But given their relationship,

I think he might be hiding something.

Xiaoman,

can you not tell on me in front of me next time?

Telling him behind your back is called telling on you.

I told him in front of you. This is called reporting.

It's aboveboard.

Lu, explain to her.

I think Lin Shaobai sent you away deliberately

to lower Jin Maochang's guard

and get him to open up.

See?

Lu understands me.

Xiaoman,

there were some words

I couldn't say to him in front of you.

Even if I said in front of you, he wouldn't believe me.

Got it?

You are always full of tricks.

Mind your words.

It's called strategy, understand?

But in the future, you can tell Xiaoman

your plan in advance,

so that you can coordinate better.

Yes, we are partners.

Hiding things from me isn't proper.

Stop arguing. Listen to Xiaoman.

[Be modest, cautious, humble, and patient]

Got it.

What Jin Maochang said

is just his version of the matter.

We still need to verify the whereabouts

of the white phosphorus in his factories.

Yuquan.

Mr. Jin.

It's almost the end of the year.

We need to collect the debts in Ningbo as soon as possible.

How about this? You go there personally

to press him for the payment.

Mr. Jin, it's a bit difficult to deal with

Mr. Qiao, the debtor.

You know that.

That's why I want you to go.

People can be different

when you meet in person.

Now there's nothing important in the sugar factory anyway.

Hand over to them and set off this afternoon.

You have to get that money back.

Okay, Mr. Jin.

Mr. Li.

Zhou?

Mr. Li, you're really something.

Mr. Jin said

this trip is going to be very tough.

So he asked me to take you to the station.

Thank you, Zhou.

Get in.

Okay.

Zhou, this is not the right direction.

Sit still and keep quiet.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What do you want? Stop the car now!

Stop the car!

[Office 2 of the Social Affairs Office]

Any clue from the investigation lately?

I've reviewed every case handled by Office 2

since it was established.

The mole has exceptional counter-surveillance skills.

He hasn't left any evidence.

Since we can't find anything through the cases,

investigate the people involved.

I've got the files of everyone

[Office 2 of the Social Affairs Office]

who participated in the past operations.

Okay, make it quick.

[Fire hydrant]

Okay.

Dr. Jin!

I've got the report on the anthrax bomb.

[Shanghai Health Laboratory]

[Explosives] [Bacteria]

[Detonating fuse] [Inner diameter: 180 mm] [I-type shock detonation, delay]

The results are different from what we expected.

The previous investigation direction is wrong.

Li Yuquan is not here. He went on a business trip to Ningbo?

Yes.

Your timing is unfortunate.

So Mr. Jin sent me here.

Just tell me if you need anything.

[September 30, 1949]

[October 2, 1949]

I'll do my best to cooperate.

Why did he go to Ningbo?

I heard... he went to see Mr. Qiao,

who owes money to the sugar factory and hasn't paid up.

What does your sugar factory

usually use white phosphorus for?

It's mainly used to produce calcium phosphate

to absorb impurities and pigments from the sugar juice

to increase its purity.

Okay, take us there to have a look.

Mr. Lin.

Officers,

white phosphorus is an important chemical.

Its storage conditions are very strict.

Only Mr. Li has the warehouse's key.

Why don't we wait for him...

Okay, lend me your telephone.

Go inside.

This is all of it.

[White phosphorus]

Be gentle.

Can we open it to have a look?

Open it.

Be gentle.

White phosphorus has a density of 1.8.

The volume of these...

The color of the white phosphorus doesn't look right.

The color doesn't look right?

Uncle Jin.

It's dangerous. Let me do it.

I'm old.

It's okay, Uncle Jin.

Be careful.

Step back.

Don't move.

It's fake.

The white phosphorus is fake.

I think all of it is fake.

Only Li Yuquan

has the warehouse's key.

He also sealed these personally.

I trusted him with the sugar factory,

but he stole from me right under my nose.

Uncle Jin.

Can you do me a favor?

Go ahead.

Don't tell anyone about this.

The sugar factory should continue to operate as usual.

Don't alert anyone.

Also, I'd appreciate it if you can

stay in Shanghai for the time being.

I may need your cooperation with the investigation anytime.

I will cooperate and I won't leave Shanghai.

Good.

I also want to get to the bottom of the sugar factory's matter as soon as possible.

Mr. Jin.

When you find Li Yuquan, no matter where he is,

let me know immediately.

Okay.

Alright, Uncle Jin,

you can go back to rest.

We'll contact you immediately

if anything comes up.

Okay.

Bring that plate here.

Bye.

I'll also take a sample back

and ask Dr. Jin to run some tests on it.

Who is it?

Where are you going?

Yan?

Why are you here?

Are you investigating my dad's sugar factory?

No.

We're just here to verify

if the raw materials match up.

I heard everything.

The white phosphorus is missing and has been replaced.

Don't worry, Yan.

We'll get to the bottom of it soon.

But look at you.

What's with your outfit?

Why are you here?

Do you remember

the anthrax I told you about before?

We found rats

carrying anthrax bacteria near the sugar factory.

At first, I thought someone was developing anthrax.

But later, I discovered anthrax bombs nearby

left behind by the Japanese.

So the rats were infected

by those anthrax bombs.

I think so too.

But I've received the test report.

The bacteria on the anthrax bombs

and the bacteria carried by the rats aren't the same.

That means

the true source of the infection hasn't been found yet.

Someone wants to use the anthrax bombs

to cover up the fact that there are anthrax bacteria here.

So you came here

to secretly investigate the infection source of anthrax?

If I came in openly,

they would have to report it.

So I snuck in.

But you still saw me.

You need to stop investigating it, Yan.

Have you thought about this?

If someone really is developing anthrax here,

what would happen to you if you meet them?

Of course I know that.

I just want to confirm

if this matter has anything to do with my dad.

Even so, you still need to stop!

Trust me.

I'll discuss this with Lu.

The Social Affairs Office will investigate it.

You should stay out of this.

Just go home and wait for our news.

Okay?

Li Yuquan is very suspicious.

[Be modest, cautious, humble, and patient]

He was probably the one who provided the white phosphorus for Shrike.

His business trip to Ningbo

is probably just an excuse for his escape.

I'll ask Shi Pengfei and Zhou Hong to verify it in Ningbo.

Before we receive their news,

we need to keep an eye on the sugar factory.

Don't act rashly

to alert them.

Okay.

What should we do about the anthrax matter

Jin Yan mentioned?

Anthrax was also found near the sugar factory.

After we find Li Yuquan,

everything will become clear.

Yan?

Dad.

You scared me.

Why are you here?

Why are you still up?

Is something bothering you so that you can't sleep?

Or are you sick?

Nothing is bothering me.

It's just that I'm... I'm not feeling very well.

Come, sit down and talk.

Be careful.

You're not having a fever.

If you really don't feel well,

I'll take you to the hospital.

I'm fine.

If there really is something I can't handle,

I will definitely

go to you first.

You scared me just now.

I thought there was a thief in our house.

I just couldn't sleep,

so I was writing an autopsy report.

But...

But my pen ran out of ink.

So I came to grab a bottle of ink.

Alright, I'm going back to continue to write my report.

Rest early.

Dad.

If you really don't feel well after you get up in the morning,

tell me and I'll take you to the hospital.

[Shanghai ID card]

All the borrowing records for this month

have been filed.

Okay.

Go back to work.

[Files of Chen Rushan from the Social Affairs Office]

Chen Rushan.

My place is absolutely safe.

If you want to discuss something with me in the future,

just come here.

Okay.

Look at this.

[Archives Borrowing Registration Form of Shanghai People's Government Public Security Bureau] [Name: Chen Rushan]

Chen?

I'm not sure yet.

After the Liberation,

all the underground operatives

had to submit a form

about their past.

They could only be assigned

to new roles after passing the review.

Chen also submitted a form about his past.

On the surface,

nothing is wrong with him.

But something is still wrong.

Everything was written in detail,

including what he did every year.

His comrades at that time

also testified for him.

But those people started to die one after another

from May 1945.

Until July 1945,

all the witnesses and superiors

were replaced.

That

was right after the Fuzhou Road Explosion.

The Japanese secret service launched

a massive crackdown on us,

causing heavy losses to the organization.

Many comrades died.

But...

don't you think it was too coincidental?

It would be great if I could have a steamed bun.

When it comes to agents' operations,

there are no coincidences,

only careful planning.

Are you saying

to infiltrate us,

he and the organization behind him

assassinated everyone

who knew him and could expose

his real identity?

Then he pretended to be Chen

to reestablish contact with the Party?

We can't rule out this possibility.

Why is there no information about his family?

His parents died early.

His wife passed away due to an illness

in June 1945.

He never remarried.

So, everyone who knew about his past

is gone.

Therefore,

his family background and social connections

could all be fabricated.

That's what makes him suspicious.

Where should we start?

In May 1943, he severely injured his left leg

during a mission

[In May 1943, he severely injured his left leg during a mission and was left with a disability.]

and was left with a disability.

If Chen

really is an imposter,

what would he do?

He'd imitate everything,

including the disability of his left leg.

Then let's start with checking his leg.

If he's pretending to be crippled,

he's an agent

and the mole who infiltrated us.

I just received a notice.

The organization has arranged

a physical examination for everyone this weekend.

It'll last for two days.

Just take this physical examination form

and go directly to Guangci Hospital, okay?

Our bureau offers benefits like this?

When will you go? Let's go together.

My home is next to the hospital.

I'll go tomorrow morning.

Lin Shaobai, don't be late for the physical examination.

I can't promise you that.

I'm not much of a morning person.

Chen.

You've also got an X-ray for your lower limbs.

This must be a special arrangement for old comrades.

Okay.

You won't do it?

Director Lu.

The bureau didn't arrange a physical examination, right?

Is it only

for the Social Affairs Office?

Maybe the bureau noticed

we've been working very hard lately,

so they arranged it for our department first.

I'm sure they'll arrange it for the other departments too.

Okay.

I'll

go with the other colleagues in the bureau.

After all, I was seconded here.

My membership credential is still in the Archives Department.

We are all colleagues in the bureau.

It doesn't really matter when you go.

Okay.

[Physical Examination Sheet of Guangci Hospital, Shanghai]

[Physical Examination Sheet of Guangci Hospital, Shanghai, X-ray Report of Radiology Department]

[Physical Examination Sheet of Guangci Hospital, Shanghai]

What are you doing?

Where is he?

Mr. Jin!

W-Why are you doing this?

This apartment must be worth a lot.

You bought it with the money you got from the agents, right?

You hid it well.

It took me a lot of effort to track it down.

I trusted you so much.

You're the one they planted around me, right?

Mr. Jin,

you also work for Shrike.

Do you think Shrike will stand by

and just let you treat me like this?

You know what he's capable of.

The police are already investigating the white phosphorus.

We can't keep it under wraps anymore.

I'm wondering

who Shrike will sacrifice

when he has to choose

between

the two of us.

What exactly do you want?

Write a confession.

Take responsibility for everything

Shrike ordered me to do.

You...

You want me to take the blame for you?

I'm saving you.

Once Shrike finds out

the police are investigating the sugar factory,

you will die for sure.

You know the rules.

Only I

can save you.

Why should I trust you?

Zhou.

Mr. Li.

Mr. Jin

has gone to great lengths for you.

The money is for you.

There is also a steamer ticket to Hong Kong.

I don't think Shrike would give you this much.

Of course, you can refuse.

Then I can solve the problem for Shrike.

Don't.

Give me some more time

to think about it.

There's no time.

The police are already suspicious about the white phosphorus.

The anthrax bacteria's matter is also on the verge of being exposed.

You've been with me for so many years.

You know what kind of person I am.

If I say I can get you out,

I will get you out.

Okay.

I'll write it.

Think carefully about what you're going to write.

You need my approval before you start.

Otherwise, it won't be easy

to fool my dear nephew

or Lu Zhengyang.

Everyone from your bureau

who attended the physical examination

has signed in.

If someone hasn't signed in, it means he didn't come.

[Song Yang] [Zhu Tingke] [Zhao Haohang]

[Lin Rushan] [Cen Xiaoman] [Lin Shaobai]

[Chen Rushan, male, 48]

Okay, thank you.

[Group consultation]

Shrike.

Shrike.

I'm Jin Maochang.

What happened?

Why are you calling the studio?

Is Li Yuquan your man?

He's responsible for Ogura's matters, right?

What do you want to know?

The police are investigating the sugar factory.

He ran away,

taking a large sum of money from me.

Now no one knows where he is.

Have the police found anything?

They came to ask me questions.

But I didn't tell them anything.

I just don't know what to do next.

Transfer Ogura immediately.

Without your order,

they won't listen to me.

Do as I say.

Don't worry about anything else.

The police are searching everywhere for Li Yuquan.

How many things does he know?

If he gets caught,

will we all be doomed?

I'll take care of him.

You want to mess with me?

I've confirmed with the hospital.

Two days have passed.

Chen still hasn't gone for the physical examination.

He's deliberately avoiding it.

This makes him even more suspicious.

Then let's force him to do it.

Have you all completed your physical examinations?

Xiang, what did the doctor say?

Everything is normal.

My old gunshot wound has almost fully healed.

I shouldn't have even bothered going.

The doctor told me I'm in perfect health.

That's because they didn't check your brain.

Xu.

What did the doctor say?

I have a kidney stone.

The doctor advised me to cut down on tea.

But I've been drinking tea for years.

Listen to the doctor,

but enjoy your tea too.

[Ten policies of the Communist Party]

Chen, how about you?

I didn't go.

Why didn't you go, Chen?

You wasted a good opportunity.

I was going

but

I suddenly received a message from the Archives Department.

They needed some documents

from Shanghai for a case in Wuxi.

So I went to Wuxi

and got delayed.

Thank you.

What a coincidence. I missed my physical examination too.

Someone from Jinan's Public Security Bureau came.

I had to accompany them. So I didn't have time for my physical examination.

What a pity.

Not at all.

I've talked to the person in charge

of the physical examination.

He asked me to go this morning.

Let's go together.

I don't want to trouble them.

I know my health condition. There's nothing wrong with me.

Chen,

you should go.

Maybe your leg can be cured.

If it can be cured, it would have been cured long ago.

You never know. Medicine has advanced a lot.

You should trust science.

I'm not going.

I don't want to trouble them.

How is this causing trouble?

Also,

why did I get an X-ray

when no one else did?

That must be special care

from the higher-ups.

Look, your leg...

My leg is fine!

I don't need special treatment.

I'm not going.

How is this special treatment?

Your leg's condition is obvious.

Li,

what do you mean?

What do you mean by saying my leg's condition is obvious?

You're trying to say I'm a cripple, right?

Yes, my leg's a bit stiff!

But have I ever done less than anyone else?

Have I ever fallen behind when we were on a mission?

I'm no different from you guys!

Why are you so angry?

I'm doing this for your own good.

Then stop bringing up my leg!

My leg was injured for the revolution!

It's a badge of honor,

not an excuse for special treatment!

Chen,

Yaohong just wants to show you some care.

I don't need it!

I don't need his sympathy

either!

You showed no respect to an old revolutionary!

What are you doing?

All right.

Calm down.

Chen, don't be angry.

Let's talk properly.

It's just a physical examination!

Why are you making a fuss?

Who's making a fuss?

You just want to see

if there's something wrong with my leg, don't you?

I... I...

Director Lu, you came at the right time.

Lu, I want to ask you something.

Is the physical examination

mandatory?

Is there a file

ordering me to go?

If not,

I am not going for the physical examination this time!

You...

It's Deputy Commissioner Yang's idea.

He wants to make sure

our old comrades are well taken care of.

We didn't have the resources before.

Many old comrades have shrapnel in their bodies

and they have health issues.

Now that we do,

we should cure them

so that we can build a new China better.

Chen, this is not special treatment.

It's part of work.

If you don't go,

I can't explain to the higher-ups.

Do me a favor

and help me finish this task.

Director Lu,

I'll go.

I'll go.

Here.

Chen, don't be angry.

I'm not being difficult.

Look at Li's attitude.

He acted like he wanted to take me,

an old revolutionary, to my execution

instead of a physical examination!

When did I say...

Enough.

Let's just drop it.

It's just a physical examination. It's not a big deal.

How about this?

I need to go to the hospital to get some medicine for my mom anyway.

I'll hitch a ride with you guys.

Great, I'll drive you there.

Chen.

I'll go.

Chen Rushan.

[Physical Examination Sheet of Guangci Hospital, Shanghai, Radiology Department]

Okay.

You can't carry metal items inside.

Okay.

Give it to me.

Okay.

Okay.

Alright, come with me.

Don't be afraid.

[Do not enter when the lights are on]
