[Dark Night and Dawn]

[Episode 31]

The Air Defense Command Post

is responsible for protecting Shanghai's airspace,

and it's also the command center of the Air Force Corps.

Recently,

Taiwan's air strikes

have all failed.

Therefore,

Shrike and his gang will definitely try everything

to find the location and coordinates of our command post

and make it their main bombing target.

Zhengyang.

You're participating in the security work of the command post.

What are your thoughts on this?

Mr. Yang.

I'm thinking,

to ensure the safety of the command post,

we might as well

put on a fake act with Shrike.

You mean...

I mean,

we can build

a fake command post

and confuse them with details

to make them believe

the fake command post

is the real one.

Meanwhile,

we'll arrange air defense artillery in advance

so that they won't make it back.

It's just Shrike

is suspicious

and cunning by nature.

He will not be so easily fooled.

I believe in making things happen.

Besides,

we have Chen.

You're right.

We've been hiding it for quite a while. It's time for him to enter the picture.

How about this?

Zhengyang.

You will perform personally

in this fake play.

Yes.

Sir.

Have my shoes been repaired?

Yes.

Okay.

Look.

What happened to the repairman from before?

My uncle is old.

He caught a cold,

and he's been resting at home these days.

Shrike thinks

the police are still suspicious of you.

Just in case,

I'll be your contact from now on.

The older he gets,

the more timid he becomes.

In our business,

only those who are timid

can last long.

New mission.

Find out the exact location of

the Shanghai Air Defense Command Post as soon as possible.

How soon do you need it?

As soon as possible.

Shrike wants to remind you that

the mission is urgent.

He had no choice but to let you take the risk.

If you find anything abnormal,

stop the action immediately.

Got it.

You're good.

Okay.

Thank you.

Here you are.

Okay.

See you.

Okay.

Chen.

Please sign for me.

Okay.

Where is Lu?

I haven't seen him for days.

He must be on a mission.

Who knows?

What mission?

So myster...

Hey. Huzi.

What are you and Shaobai

doing

in this room?

Since Lu is not here,

[Shanghai Air Defense Hecheng Command Post Transfer Order]

we came to help him clean up the room.

This is the file Director Lu asked for yesterday.

I brought it here.

Okay.

I'll give it to him.

Okay.

Good for you.

Go on. Go on.

Nyctibius has received the mission.

After the mission is completed,

send him to Hong Kong

to reunite with his family.

He can finally reunite with his family.

Chief.

Ogura is in here.

Dr. Ogura.

Yes.

Mr. Zheng.

You're here.

I'm here to see you.

How are you adapting to the new environment?

Pretty well.

Everything is progressing normally.

What are the pathogenic bacteria currently available?

Anthrax,

and typhoid fever.

What would happen

if we put these bacteria

in Shanghai's water supply system?

Mr. Zheng, you know that

this...

This won't work.

Why?

You know that Shanghai has set up an epidemic prevention committee.

Common bacterial infections

can be treated with antibiotics.

Only when we successfully develop super anthrax

can we give them

a fatal blow.

But if we use them on you,

they'd take effect pretty quick, right?

What do you want to do?

Kuomintang has abandoned me.

Only by destroying Shanghai

can I prove my value.

Tell me, what do you think I want to do?

I gave you five years,

but you didn't give me anything in return.

If you keep being like this,

I'll go crazy.

Even I don't know

what I would do

if I went crazy.

I'll give you two more months.

Got it?

Yes.

You have to deliver the research results.

Good luck.

Goodbye, sir.

Have a nice day.

Dr. Ogura.

The result of our last experiment

was already very ideal,

but you still chose to start over.

When super anthrax is successfully developed,

the value of our lives will be gone.

Don't forget

they are agents.

So what should we do now?

There's an old Chinese saying,

"If you're not at the table,

you'll probably be on the menu."

There's no turning back.

We can only do as they say

and speed up the research.

Yes.

I'm speechless.

Lu called

and asked me to visit Li Yuquan's relatives and friends

to check his social relations.

Yaohong.

When I'm not here,

please take care of things for me.

No problem.

Shaobai.

What kind of mission is Director Lu on exactly?

I haven't seen him for quite a while.

Is this your first day at work?

Don't you know the rules?

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask.

This.

See you.

Drink more.

I'll come pick you up

in a few days.

Is it enough?

Have another half.

Enough.

Can't you add at least a bit meat

to the meals here?

I've starved for days.

I finally came here, and all you have is vegetarian food.

How was it?

I've been following him for a few days,

but I didn't find him in contact with anyone

or send any messages.

Speaking of unusual activities, though,

he went to the cemetery once.

There've been no festivals recently.

Who was he there to pay respect to?

I also found it weird.

Besides, the tombstone he visited

has no name on it.

It's a blank tombstone.

Investigate it.

Okay.

Lu.

It's been a few days.

If Chen had received any mission,

he shouldn't have been able to sit tight.

Lu.

Should we give him some bait?

The transfer order from the command post alone is not enough.

We need to spice it up for him.

Chen thought he had deceived us with the physical examination.

Now is probably the time he's most off guard.

I bought this

for Feihang.

Take it to the office tomorrow.

What do you mean?

Let him see this.

[Ten Policies of the Communist Party]

It's time for dinner.

Chen.

Let's go eat.

In a minute.

[Ten Policies of the Communist Party]

[Robinson Crusoe]

[Shanghai Kaiming Bookstore]

[Political Economy]

[Shanghai Kaiming Bookstore]

Here you are.

Thank you.

Boss.

Does this Kaiming Bookstore

have any branches?

No, this is the only one

in Shanghai.

It has our seal on it.

If there's any problem with the book,

you can exchange it anytime.

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Have a nice day.

[Kaiming Bookstore]

Lu.

The fish has taken the bait.

Make way! Move aside!

Sir.

Please wipe my shoes.

Okay.

Okay.

Have you got the address?

No. 1899,

Zhongbai Road.

Are you sure this is the exact location of the command post?

If you don't trust me,

you shouldn't have given me the mission.

You should know the importance of this information.

We can't afford any mistakes.

I saw Lu Zhengyang's transfer order with my own eyes.

He was transferred

to the Air Defense Command Post

to be in charge of security work.

I've been observing him all this time.

He's really not been around in the office.

He only bought a book for his niece.

Through the clue of the bookstore,

I found the location of the Air Defense Command Post.

There was no sign,

but it was heavily guarded.

It's obviously a characteristic of a confidential unit.

Most importantly,

I saw Soviets

coming in and out wearing PLA uniforms.

Obviously,

they did that to avoid attention.

Apart from the Air Force Corps,

no other Soviet personnel

have come to Shanghai recently.

All the clues match.

I am certain

that's the location of the Air Defense Command Post.

Did you see Lu Zhengyang

coming in and out of the command post?

No, actually.

I see.

You can go now.

[Defu Trading Company]

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

[Be quiet]

Captain Zhang.

How is it?

You don't have much time,

so I'll get to the point.

Okay.

Based on the location and depth of the knife wound,

it can be concluded that

the victim was sitting when he died.

And based on the scratches on his feet and knees,

it is very likely that the primary crime scene

is the car.

It matches.

It matches.

The suspect

must be the car chauffeur.

With this evidence, we can arrest him.

Liu, thank you.

I just finished the autopsy and didn't have time to wash my hands.

[Be quiet]

Okay.

We're leaving then.

Go on. Go on.

[Electricity Danger]

Hello.

Who are you looking for?

Is this the anatomy room?

Who are you looking for?

Hello.

Let me introduce myself.

My name is Yi Jiang.

I graduate this year.

I came here early for my internship.

You just graduated?

I'm about to.

So you're a kid.

Welcome.

Boss.

I've always wanted to be a medical examiner.

I got straight As

in school.

I know

grades are just the past.

I still have a lot to learn from you.

Learn how to let go of my hand first.

I just finished an autopsy on a highly decomposed corpse.

Boss, why didn't you wash your hands

after the anatomy according to the rules?

I was about to,

and you grasped me.

You are good, kid.

Thank you.

[Hand Washing Routine]

Don't call me boss.

My name is Liu Rui.

I'm a medical examiner here.

[Hand Washing Routine]

Senior Liu.

Don't call me that.

[Hand Washing Routine]

Former Liu.

What do you mean Former Liu?

Then what about Liu Bei?

You may as well call me Guan Yu then.

You kid.

[Hand Washing Routine]

Dr. Jin.

[Hand Washing Routine]

-Hello.
-Hello.

You must be Yi Jiang, the new intern.

Yes.

Welcome to the Forensics Department.

We'll be family from now on.

Dr. Jin.

I finally get to train a disciple.

Don't worry.

I'll get him trained well

within a year.

Master.

What a pity.

Liu Rui.

Please hand over the work at hand as soon as possible.

Guangdong Public Security Bureau has been asking Deputy Commissioner Yang for staff

to support their Forensics Department,

and I recommended you.

The official transfer order will be issued soon.

You'll shoulder a heavy responsibility alone

after you go there.

So

he's here to...

Right.

To replace you.

This...

It's pretty good news,

but

I don't know if I can handle it there.

You're not the Liu Rui you used to be.

You can work completely independently now.

You'll have to write forensic reports independently from now on.

This pen is for you.

Remember,

every word you write

is to speak for the deceased.

So you must be very careful.

Good luck.

Unfortunately,

our story ends here.

It seems I won't be your master.

But since Dr. Jin will train you herself,

I'll be your senior.

So I'm your junior.

That's right.

Let's each work hard

and meet at the top.

In the Forensics Department,

you should pay attention to...

Master!

Remember to...

Master!

Lu.

As soon as I received your call

and confirmed that Chen had passed the message,

Yaohong and I came here to keep watch.

We've confirmed that

Chen is alone

in his house.

The one who came to meet Chen

wasn't Shrike,

but Xu Wei.

I followed him for a while,

but I stopped

because I was worried he'd find out.

It's better to lose him than to expose yourself.

The key is to let Xu Wei

pass the false information to Shrike.

We can't alert him

before that.

Now we've used Chen

for everything he could.

To prevent any changes,

according to Deputy Commissioner Yang's order,

let's arrest him immediately.

Who is it?

Chen.

Come with us.

Can I have some dumplings?

They were just cooked.

Take him away.

So the Air Defense Command Post is fake.

Lu Zhengyang.

You guys are really good at

turning your fake play into reality.

If we hadn't made it look real,

how would you have passed the message?

Bring him in.

Go.

Xiaoman.

Make sure to keep it confidential

that we gave Chen a sudden trial.

Got it.

We've been working in the same office

for so long.

I didn't expect he's actually an agent.

It's because he's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

He's good at disguise.

He may have even more tricks

in store.

Let's check him out first.

Let's begin.

Open the door.

Chen.

I never thought we'd meet this way.

Yeah.

We were sitting in the same room and talking about work during the day .

But now,

we're sitting across each other,

and we've become adversaries.

No.

I should say we've become enemies.

We've always treated you as a comrade.

It's you

who's been lying to us.

Same to you.

Didn't you set up such a big trap

to deceive me too?

You wanted to use me

to deliver fake information on the Air Defense Command Post

to Shrike.

We know more

than you think.

However,

we still hope you can tell us yourself.

Consider it as a chance we give you.

Lu.

You all

have always been nice to me.

I don't want to make things difficult for you either.

Whatever you want to know,

I'll tell you.

My name is Chen Rushan.

48 years old.

I'm from Hunan Province.

My ancestral home is Shangrao, Jiangxi.

I'm currently Chief of the Archives Department of the Public Security Bureau.

Alright.

I have a disability in my left leg.

Enough.

All these things you said

are already in the file.

Let's talk about

what your codename in NBIS is.

Nyctibius.

The kind of bird which is best at disguise.

It suits your identity quite well.

I'm very curious about

how I exposed myself.

Everyone around you

who can prove that you're Chen Rushan

is dead.

But this is not enough for you to arrest me.

But it's enough to make us have doubts.

So you arranged a physical examination.

I did the X-ray.

There was no problem.

Yes.

There was no problem at all.

Unfortunately,

you became the victim of your own cleverness.

In order to verify whether we suspected you,

you rejected the physical examination on purpose.

But that only deepened

our suspicion of you.

Because your acting that day

was a bit too much.

By the way,

As for Li Yuquan

being found at Jian'an Apartment,

it was also arranged by you on purpose, right?

As we expected, you couldn't sit tight

and called Falcon immediately.

Alright.

I'll cut to the chase.

We just want to know

what Shrike's true identity is.

I hope you can tell us the truth.

I don't know.

I've never met him.

We've confirmed that

Shrike is your direct superior.

Since you are so good,

why don't you investigate it yourselves?

I'll only confess what I did.

Chen.

We just want to give you a chance.

A chance?

Lin.

Don't try to

play this trick on me.

I'll die anyway.

You caught me.

Once Shrike can't contact me,

he will be convinced that

I've been exposed,

and he'll transfer immediately.

He won't find out about this so quickly.

To the public,

you're on a business trip in Shijiazhuang now.

He won't buy that easily, either.

Didn't you use me

to spread false information

on the Air Defense Command Post

just because you want to shoot down our aircrafts

when they fly over?

You underestimated us too.

Given how cautious he is,

he will definitely cross-verify

the authenticity of the information.

Once he finds out there's something wrong about it,

he will transfer immediately.

Let me put it this way.

Even if

he sends out the false information,

and even if you shoot down our aircrafts,

he will still transfer

and disappear

immediately afterwards.

You did catch me,

but you haven't won.

As long as I remain silent,

you won't be able to catch Shrike.

Am I right or not?

I'm tired.

After listening to the whole interrogation,

I feel that Chen

suits his codename really well.

He's just like Nyctibius, the bird,

which is very good at disguise

and very cunning.

Besides, he has

a lot of experience

in resisting interrogations.

I'm afraid it's not that easy

to make him confess.

Everyone has their own weaknesses.

If we want to find Chen's weakness,

we must get to know him thoroughly

and get to the bottom of his background.

But he

has already destroyed

all the materials related to himself long ago.

The blank tombstone.

The blank tombstone

Chen visited in the cemetery

must have some special connection

with him.

This

may be a breakthrough for us.

Leave him hanging for a few days.

Let's start our investigation with the blank tombstone.

The owner of this blank tombstone

is registered as Du Lengquan.

Du Lengquan?

Please confirm for me,

have you seen this person before?

Yes.

I've seen him.

No one else has come to visit this cemetery

except for him.

Others always come on Tomb-Sweeping Festival

or the anniversary of the death of the deceased.

But the time he comes to visit

is not fixed.

And he's been here quite a lot of times.

Okay.

Thank you.

Please go on with your work.

Okay. You too.

Okay, thank you.

The blank tombstone.

What's Du Lengquan's relationship

with Chen?

The old photos are all here.

Okay.

When was this photo taken?

Let me take it out for you.

[Group photo of the excellent workers of Wusong Steelmaking Plant]

[Du Lengquan]

Chief.

I've checked.

There were PLA soldiers guarding the gate.

There were hidden guards on many roofs nearby.

I specially checked their daily waste

and found that all the papers were shredded.

Soviets love drinking and eating bread so much,

but there were no bottles

or bread crumbs in the dump.

In other words,

all traces of Russians

have been erased completely.

This proves that it was exactly Lu Zhengyang who did that,

because he didn't miss any detail.

And it also proves the authenticity of Nyctibius's information.

This is just you two's speculation.

According to the transfer order,

Lu Zhengyang should indeed be

in charge of security work in the Air Defense Command Post.

But has either of you seen him

come in or out of No. 1899, Zhongbai Road?

No.

Therefore,

we need to do another cross-validation.

I'll go in person.

You stay close to No. 1899

and keep an eye on Lu Zhengyang.

See if he really comes in and out of this place.

Understood.

Hold on. Hold on.

Where are you from?

Who... Who are you looking for here?

Are you talking to me?

Yes, you don't look familiar.

And you kept looking around.

You aren't an agent, are you?

Do I look like an agent to you?

I'm a teacher at People's Elementary.

I'm here to see Officer Lin for a home visit.

You are here to see Shaobai?

There shouldn't be any problem then.

You see.

Keep walking straight,

and the last house down the alley is Shaobai's home.

Okay, thank you.

You are so vigilant.

To prevent and resist agents.

Why did you talk so much?

This is the task assigned by the Welfare Committee.

Be careful when meeting strangers.

Mind your own business. Get to work.

All right.

Coming.

Mr. Zheng.

Hello, Officer Lin.

Please, come on in.

Here's the thing.

The school's going to organize students to go to West Lake for sketching,

and the deadline is drawing near.

Regarding the health condition of Feihang,

we would like to seek her parents' opinions.

Thank you for coming all the way here in person.

Don't mention it.

Come in and have a seat.

Okay.

Feihang.

Look who's here.

Mr. Zheng.

Hello, Feihang,

So you are Mr. Zheng.

No wonder Feihang likes you so much.

You are indeed a charming gentleman.

You must be a cultured person.

Please have a seat.

Okay, thank you.

I'll go get you some fruits.

Don't bother.

Make yourself at home, Mr. Zheng.

My two moms are kind of enthusiastic.

So they are your two moms?

Feihang, how's your health recently?

Very well, Mr. Zheng.

All the students are going to West Lake for sketching.

I want to go too.

Okay.

As long as your Uncle Lu signs the informed consent form,

you can go.

He will definitely agree.

But Lu is not here today.

I'll sign it for him.

I'm afraid this won't do.

The school has rules.

The signature on the informed consent form

must be of the guardian himself.

The thing is, Lu is too busy lately.

How about this?

I'll give him a call

and see if he can make a run back.

Okay, thank you.

No problem.

Thank you.

Mr. Zheng, here.

Have some oranges.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Lu.

Mr. Zheng is here for a home visit.

He needs to talk to you.

Can you make a run back?

Alright, got it.

Lu is on his way back.

Please sit for a while.

That's great.

I'll wait for him.

I'm not disturbing you, am I?

No, of course not.

Mr. Zheng.

When are you leaving?

Next week.

Before you go,

I want to take Feihang for a checkup.

That's reasonable.

I'll sign it then.

Great. I can go to West Lake for sketching.

I'm sorry

for making you come back during your busy schedule.

No, I should thank you.

Not at all.

Okay, I'll leave now.

Okay.

See you.

Mr. Zheng, are you leaving?

Stay a while longer and have dinner with us.

It'll be ready soon.

No, no.

My wife has already cooked.

If I don't go home for dinner, she will be angry.

I'll see you off.

Please stay.

Come on, Feihang.

Come on, see Mr. Zheng off.

Be careful.

You're welcome.

Okay.

Please stay.

Take care, Mr. Zheng.

See you, Mr. Zheng.

Feihang, come on.

I'll take you to eat a piece of braised pork before dinner.

Okay.

Zheng Lanting chose now of all times for a home visit.

It seems to me he wants to probe something.

No matter what he wants to probe,

we've done everything we can.

Should we ask someone to keep an eye on him?

He only came here for a home visit.

What reason do you have to watch him?

The most important thing now

is to make a breakthrough with Chen.

As long as he confesses,

all the truth will be revealed.

Boss.

A bowl of wonton, please.

A bowl of wonton for this gentleman.

Okay.

I'm not eating here.

I'll take it to go.

You've finished your home visit?

Yes.

Please have a seat.

Thank you.

If I didn't guess it wrong, your surname should be... Huang?

Yes.

And you're in your early 60s?

I'm 65.

What about you?

I'm 57.

I've become an old man

in a blink of an eye.

Guess

what I would do if I were 40 years younger.

What would you do?

I'd work as a police officer

and catch agents just like Shaobai.

It's fun even just thinking about it.

Yes. Right.

Since you live in the same alley as the police now,

you must feel safe.

I feel relieved.

It seems your signboard

is a bit worn out.

Haven't you thought about changing it?

I can help you.

I don't have spare money for that.

I've donated all my spare money

to the Bombing Refugee Relief Association.

Yes, we've donated it all.

We don't have much money.

I'll only charge some material fees.

Really?

Yes.

It's the new society now.

Yes.

Haven't you two ever thought about changing your names?

I do want to change my name,

to Fried Jiang.

What?

There's a dish in the north called fried bean paste noodles.

Yes.

And we sell fried "Jiang" wontons and noodles here.

This...

How should I put it?

I mean if Jiang fights back,

won't you have to change your name again?

No.

As long as the Communist Party is here,

he won't be able to come back.
