A BODY FOUND! COME NOW!

Kaiqing. Kaiqing.

A star standing for Xingyao.

A sun standing for Daddy!

Clever!

Xingyao, you're so brave,

just as courageous as your dad.

Xingyao is very scared.

Silly girl.

When you wake up and open your eyes, you'll see Daddy.

Kaiqing!

Kaiqing!

Can you hear Mommy talking? Kaiqing?

Daughter!

My daughter!

Daughter!

Don't be afraid. Daddy's here.

Daddy's here. Don't be afraid.

Hang in there.

Daddy's here. Have no fear.

- Kaiqing. - Hang in there.

- Kaiqing! - Hang in there.

Call an ambulance!

Kaiqing. Stay with me.

Hang in there.

Good girl.

Call an ambulance!

Tuen Mun Container Yard.

An officer was shot.

Call an ambulance, hurry!

Police.

Freeze.

Police.

Freeze.

Police. Freeze. Hands on your head!

Now I remember.

I'm Xingyao.

My daughter.

My daughter!

- Kaiqing! - Kaiqing!

My daughter!

Kaiqing.

I'm sorry, my daughter.

It's all Daddy's fault.

Daughter.

My daughter!

My daughter.

Do me a favor, tell me,

how can I get you to sleep?

Dad, I have a question.

The stars appear at night.

The sun appears during the day.

If the stars and the sun

appear together in the sky,

what will happen?

My dear daughter, is this supposed to be a brainteaser?

You answer me first.

When the stars and the sun

appear at the same time,

all the bad guys would be caught,

the Earth would be protected,

and my daughter would go to sleep, right?

Good. When I grow up, I want to be like Daddy

and be a good police officer

to protect the Earth.

So, can you go to sleep now?

Go to sleep.

Be a Daddy's girl. Go sleep

and protect the Earth someday, okay?

Okay.

In the past 20-plus years,

you and your wife have raised my daughter.

You two also caused her eventual death.

Was it worth it?

Was it?

NO PHOTOGRAPHS

Speak.

Dr. Zhou cut her wrist in the cell.

She wanted to give it to you herself.

My wife.

In the past 28 years,

every day, we were thinking about how to take revenge,

how to kill someone.

I thought, giving everything to help you get revenge

would be the best compensation.

However,

it trapped you in this abyss.

It was my fault.

I was wrong for causing your grandmother's death.

More than that…

A LETTER

…I let you sink deeper.

We wanted to avenge our loved ones.

In the end,

we ended up causing our loved one,

our daughter,

to suffer more and more each day.

We have spent too much time on hatred.

On the contrary,

we didn't even have any time left to love.

Mommy.

I understand how you feel.

If someone had taken your anonymous letter seriously,

the case would've been investigated fairly,

and you would never have chosen this path.

As a police officer,

I want to apologize

to your grandma and to all the victims of the fire,

I'm sorry.

Mommy, you are not a bad person.

I still love you so much.

After this,

the three of us can start over as a family.

Okay?

I will always be the daughter of you and Daddy.

I bought this before.

I planned to give it to you after the case.

Why would you give me this?

I'm not doing this as your supervisor.

Let's hang out more and listen to Beyond's songs.

Sure, next time.

Thank you.

It's dangerous to hike alone.

It's better to have a company.

Thank you, Officer Zhang.

What kind of music do you like?

I like listening to the songs of Beyond.

Which ones do you like?

"The Grand Earth".

"Morning Train".

This one.

♪ Hoping that you won't shed a tear ♪

♪ at a corner ♪

♪ I don't intend to ♪

♪ leave your heart with emptiness ♪

Oh, it's "Lover".

Beyond. I like them too.

What are you doing here?

I'm investigating the case.

You thought I'm here for a date?

What?

We don't often come to Kowloon Peak.

Let me take a photo for you.

No need.

Sure.

Keep still.

Smile, will you?

Don't touch my girl!

So you got a boyfriend.

Why didn't you say so?

Let's have more fun.

Let's have more fun.

Come on.

Don't leave.

Are you okay?

I have always felt

I didn't choose to be a cop.

But being a cop chose me.

There are many things we cannot control.

You can't do anything in this state!

Kaiqing! Chen Kaiqing!

Chen Kaiqing.

I fear he'll be in trouble.

I don't want him to leave me again.

You still have me.

I will never leave you.

Darling.

I don't want to disappoint our daughter again.

I will take responsibility for all crimes.

I don't know

if we will ever

meet again.

But I know,

our daughter will definitely be in heaven

and will forever,

forever be with us.

Mom.

Today,

I brought someone to see you.

Is it your dad?

But,

didn't you say he was away fighting a fire?

Mrs. Zhang.

Do you remember me?

Yang Guangyao, Officer Yao.

I was in charge of your husband's case.

Today, I came to tell you,

we finally caught

your husband's killer.

It has been 25 years.

I know it's been hard for you.

It's my fault.

I didn't solve the case sooner.

I'm sorry.

I want to tell you,

your son is excellent.

He also helped solve the case.

Your son is outstanding.

I'll leave you two in peace.

Twenty-five years.

Twenty-five years.

Your father has been gone for 25 years.

Twenty-five years.

It has been 25 years.

Twenty-five.

In 1990,

the Vista Tower fire case…

…resulted in 39 fatalities.

The report of the investigative committee pointed out,

the fire was purely accidental,

with nothing suspicious.

But today, 28 years later,

police finally uncovered the truth.

Back then,

someone deliberately set fire to reclaim the building.

The mastermind behind the scenes

- was the Justice of the Peace, Sundess. - Really? Him?

Last night, the police arrested him.

Furthermore,

a credible tainted witness

has accused Sundess

of committing other serious crimes.

The details will be announced in due course.

Although the truth

came too late,

we hope the 39 unfortunate victims

may find peace.

And there was another related serial murder case.

We have arrested a mastermind

and an accomplice.

They have confessed.

Unfortunately,

during the operation,

a female detective from the WestK DCS,

Chen Kaiqing,

died heroically.

Nurse, He Peijie!

He Peijie, which room?

- 3A. - 3A?

3A. Thank you.

DONATING A KIDNEY TO SAVE LIVES

Darling.

Xingyao.

What happened to your head?

It's nothing.

Is she heavy?

- A chubby girl. - Yeah.

So chubby.

She's awake.

She's awake.

- You're awake now, huh? - The baby knows it's time to drink milk.

Good, you can have your milk very soon.

- 120, keep an eye on it - 120, right?

Okay, 120.

Baby girl, just a second.

Am I doing it right?

Darling, teach me.

- Like this? - Yeah.

- A little higher. - A little higher?

What's the matter?

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1993

What's wrong with this guy?

It'll work.

It'll work.

It'll work.

Daddy, you're late.

Where's the omelette rice?

What's wrong, Daddy?

I knew it. You snuck out for investigation again.

I thought you won't be back today.

What's the matter, darling?

Sorry.

I came back late.

Fool, as long as you're back, it's fine.

Be careful.

Come here, have some water, come here.

Come. Let me wipe your face.

Look at that dirty little face.

- Go ahead. - Wait for me!

Run slowly.

Be careful.

Nine. Eight. Seven.

Six. Five. Four.

Three. Two. One.

Daddy.

Police. Freeze.

Hands on your head.

You caught me even like this?

Who is she?

She is someone

very important to Daddy.

Your shoelace is loose.

Okay, have fun.

Be careful.

- Let's play this. - Darling.

You need to take this first.

28406.

What?

Didn't you ask me for a password?

You said, if one of us gets lost,

we can still find each other.

Darling. Give me a password.

Come on.

I have handed

most of my salary over to you, darling.

Not the ATM PIN.

In this novel I've been reading,

the male and female protagonists were separated in different worlds.

However, with a password,

they find each other in the next life. Romantic, right?

What does that mean?

It means, I want to find you in the next life.

ETERNAL BELOVED

You still remember?

And I've got it.

28406.

28406?

What does it mean?

Is it the pager code?

Or…

Area code?

Nope.

A post-office box number?

- No. - Don't tell me yet,

I will definitely guess it.

28406…

I had a dream.

What dream?

I dreamt about Xingyao in the year 2018.

So, Xingyao, just like you,

became a police officer?

I thought she would follow my suit.

Darling, what about me?

In 2018,

do I become a fatty?

Do I have a big belly?

No.

You are in good shape.

- Very pretty. - Really?

And very healthy.

- What about you? - I keep in good shape, just like you.

Very handsome.

You keep in good shape?

Yeah, as for my colleagues in 2018,

like Weitao, Officer Ye,

they have wrinkles.

Only I am smooth-skinned.

- Pretty impressive, huh? - Yeah.

Where do we live?

We have moved.

In a mansion.

Living in a mansion?

That's nice.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Honey.

You're important to me.

And you too, darling.

Hello?

This is Chaitou speaking.

- Tell him to call back-- - Catch a breath sometimes.

Cookies.

- Where have you been, troublemaker? - Thanh you.

We've been looking for you everywhere.

You didn't even reply.

I'm back now, aren't I?

Oh yeah, here.

Everything about Mai is here.

- Officer Ye called for a meeting-- - Okay, okay.

It doesn't matter.

Where is Weitao?

He went looking for you.

- Here he is. - Officer Yao.

Where have you been?

I've been looking for you for two days.

I haven't slept for two nights.

What?

Are you scared of me?

Come closer.

Come closer.

What's the matter, Officer Yao?

Thank you.

Thank me for what?

It's not a big deal.

I visited my wife and daughter in the hospital.

My wife told me you looked for me everywhere.

You are my idol, after all.

That's what I should do. I got to learn from you.

You'll be a Chief Inspector one day.

And I'll take your orders.

Stop joking please, Officer Yao.

Where is Officer Ye?

Let's go see him.

Officer Yao.

Guangyao, have a seat.

Let me make a toast to you two.

Officer Yao.

I…

I just transferred here.

But

I've taken you as my master.

I will follow you.

So, you're my master,

and Officer Ye is my grandmaster.

Officer Yao often teaches me one thing.

He said he got it from you.

He said, a policeman

will face many storms.

So,

one must walk a straight path

and act with integrity,

holding true to their original aspirations.

Come on, have a drink.

Here.

After this time, drink less.

Watch your health.

What should I drink, then? Water?

TO WESTK DCS

I found it in your room.

Has it occurred to you, this person

didn't just send this letter to you

but also to other higher-ups?

If the higher-ups know

that you concealed this matter,

you will be in trouble.

You drank too much.

You're my master now?

I'm worried about you.

The firefighter who was taken out, Zhang Qiang,

was in the investigation committee.

I have checked.

You are one of them too.

Grim Ace.

Yan Hua.

Xing.

You are well aware of how these three were related.

Don't continue to go down the wrong path.

There's no turning back.

I fear you'll be the next.

How did you know so much?

Just assume I'm drunk,

so, I'm just rambling.

When I wake up tomorrow morning, I won't remember anything.

You always helped me get out of trouble.

Give me a chance.

Let me help you for once.

Go forward.

Daddy, where are we going now?

Dad is taking you to meet a boy.

I don't like making friends with boys.

What?

Say that again.

I don't like making friends with boys.

Silly girl.

Aside from Dad,

you can be friends with this boy.

Good girl.

What?

Go downstairs to play alone, huh?

Officer.

It's not like that.

I'm going to buy some rice balls.

Back then,

my dad often bought rice balls to cheer up my mom.

Let me take you to have dessert, okay?

Come on, let's go.

Is it tasty?

- Tasty. - Here.

- Thanks. - What about you, sweetie?

You haven't even taken a bite yet!

Excuse me.

Can I borrow a piece of paper and a pen?

Okay, just a moment.

Take your time.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

This is my pager number.

If you and your mommy get into any trouble,

call the pager center to reach me.

Here's the police station number,

call the station if you need anything,

just ask for Officer Yao.

Okay.

- Don't lose it. - Okay.

I want to be like you when I grow up,

to be a good policeman

and catch all the bad guys.

I want to do that too.

You too?

Sweetie, being a police officer is dangerous.

You must think it through.

Why don't you

learn to play the piano like your mother?

Playing the piano is nice, huh?

Since you love Beyond,

you can form a band.

How can one person form a band?

You have Tianming.

Tianming also likes Beyond.

You two can form a band together.

What is that?

I've never heard of it.

You haven't heard of it, huh?

No.

It's really good.

Here, listen.

You'll like it once you hear it, here.

- I want to listen too. - Okay.

You listen too.

Here.

Nothing left.

There you go.

TO MAI ZHIHONG

Tutor.

I was feeding the dogs at the park,

and I saw this box.

They agreed to investigate.

Your anonymous letter?

And this.

CAI BAOYING, HE QINGCAI, MAI ZHIHONG

Cai Baoying, He Qingcai, Mai Zhihong.

It seems someone knows about us.

Great, Daddy finally keeps his word.

I want to see a dolphin show.

Silly girl.

Dad will have a lot of time

to take you everywhere.

You are making hasty promise again.

You'll be busy once you're reinstated.

You'll always be away.

Honey, how about me quitting being a cop?

Why?

Didn't you dream of being a cop?

Being a police officer is too dangerous.

I'm afraid of suddenly disappearing again,

making you worry.

I've thought it over.

We could live abroad.

Our daughter could study abroad.

You can further your music studies.

I'll just get a license.

I heard plumbers and electricians are in demand there.

Can you make it?

Why not?

I can handle a gun.

I can handle a wrench too.

Right? My daughter?

Right.

Help! I got robbed!

Help! There is a robber!

Daddy, please help her.

Don't let the thief get away.

Darling, hurry up and go.

Roger, ma'am!

Help! I got robbed!

Robbery! Robbery!

Help!
