[Deep Lurk]

[Episode 22]

Look.

This is it.

Do you still remember which company

the rickshaw belonged to

when you came back?

No.

[Military Hospital]

Go and find

Mi Lan's former classmates

and teachers from nursing school.

Use her current photo to confirm

if she's the same person.

If she is,

dig deeper.

Look into her past—

find out if she had any unusual experiences

or connections with specific individuals.

The more detailed, the better.

You suspect she's the killer?

This woman has always made me uneasy.

After what happened this time,

it has only strengthened my suspicions.

This woman

is definitely not just a nurse.

I understand.

That's why you tapped her phone

and placed surveillance near her home.

Track down the rickshaw driver

who took Mi Lan back to the Military Hospital.

Bring him to me.

Until I see him,

make sure no one else contacts him.

Yes.

Niu Erhong's entire family moved out overnight.

They didn't even pack properly

and didn't inform anyone.

Definitely suspicious.

Take a look at this, sir.

I did instruct Li Liang

to routinely track and monitor

officers at the division level—

that's part of our standard procedures.

I didn't report it to you

but look at these photos.

I didn't authorize Li Liang to take these,

and they definitely weren't taken by him.

Chinese calligraphy follows rules of horizontal and vertical alignment,

and each character has a set form.

But individual handwriting styles vary,

which is the basis for handwriting analysis.

It's the same with photography.

Different photographers

have distinct styles and perspectives.

Look at this photo—

it's one Li Liang took.

Now compare it to this one.

If you examine closely, you'll see

these were

clearly taken by two different people.

Indeed.

Photos taken by a trained agent are distinct

from those taken by an ordinary person.

It seems you and Yun Hongshen are on the same page.

If the photo he found

hadn't been destroyed,

we might've uncovered more clues.

We still don't know who the photographer is,

but I believe

if we investigate further,

they're bound to slip up.

Who else had access

to Yun Hongshen's last photo?

You, me,

and a few division chiefs.

It seems the mole

is among us.

That's right.

Each of them is capable.

Qu Wenzhi's defection,

along with the subsequent events,

ties back to them in varying degrees.

Who do you suspect more?

Does Ling Han seem likely?

Chief,

I don't have a particular inclination right now.

Honestly,

it doesn't matter who seems likely.

What's critical is solid evidence.

Ling Han has been particularly aggressive in his recent work.

I have my reservations about him,

but that doesn't necessarily make him the mole.

Also, I believe the tension between us

is likely part of the mole's strategy.

Zhu,

as always, your thinking is sharp.

Ling Han may be clever,

but he's not steady enough in his actions.

Zhu,

I'm sorry this situation has caused you trouble.

Chief, it's nothing.

We all encounter unpleasant situations.

If we took everything to heart,

we couldn't do this job.

That's the mindset of a true Deputy Chief—

admirable.

What's the matter?

Chief,

what do you think of leveraging

Yun Hongshen's informant in Shanghai?

Stirring up the situation

might actually be part of the mole's plan.

The more confusing things appear,

the harder it will be for you to pinpoint the mole.

There's another way

to identify the mole:

they'll definitely

be interested in

Yun Hongshen's mysterious informant.

That's a good point.

You see?

That guy's definitely hiding something.

I think we should interrogate him again.

Let's go.

Whether or not this was orchestrated by Gui,

this time Happy House is finished.

Think about it—

the victim was Old Master Yun's widow,

and she died so gruesomely.

Do you think Old Master Yun's

prominent students will let this slide?

I think even if

Happy House doesn't go under completely, it'll take a huge hit.

There has to be a scapegoat to satisfy the authorities' anger.

Indeed.

Until this case is resolved,

there's no way Happy House can reopen.

And those who were

in business with Bai Qingkui?

They'll likely suffer too.

I think the Bai Clan and Happy House

are about to become history.

True.

Captain Tang.

I have some business to attend to.

You go ahead with your work.

Captain Tang.

Brother-in-law,

I swear it wasn't me.

I swear to the heavens!

I really want to help you,

but this case isn't under my jurisdiction.

I can't intervene.

If you truly wanted to help,

you could always find a way.

Brother-in-law.

brother-in-law.

We're in the same boat now.

If I go down,

it won't look good for you either.

What are you implying?

Who's in the same boat as you?

I mean...

Captain,

the Director needs to see you.

Seems urgent.

You should go over there.

Alright.

I have something to attend to.

We'll discuss this matter later.

Brother-in-law!

I think even if

Happy House doesn't go under completely, it'll take a huge hit.

True.

至少在这件事情调查清楚之前

there's no way Happy House can reopen.

And those who were

in business with Bai Qingkui?

They'll likely suffer too.

Mengying.

Why are you here at this hour?

Is it because you feel uneasy being alone?

Come in, quickly.

Have a seat.

Why are you just standing there?

Isn't it time for the old lady's medicine?

No rush.

It still needs to cool for another half hour.

Here, have some water.

You look so pale. What's wrong?

Madam Yun has been poisoned to death.

The NBIS suspects it was me.

They want to shut down Happy House.

Master's lifetime of effort will be wasted.

Mengying,

I swear on my life.

It wasn't me!

Who would be so vile?

Old Madam Yun was such a kind person.

Whoever poisoned her

is sure to get their comeuppance!

Jin Gui,

don't worry.

When Tang comes back,

I'll ask him to figure something out for you.

Rest assured.

You didn't do it,

so there's nothing to fear.

Mengying.

Captain Tang

has to shoulder it with me.

Listen to yourself.

When you run into trouble,

Tang helps out—

that's for the sake of

the bond we've built over the years.

But asking him to bear the blame with you?

That's going too far.

I'm the real owner of Zhang's pharmacy.

What?

Are you two acting together to fool me?

Was that incident before

all part of a trap you set to trick me?

Yes.

Jin Gui, are you even human?

You even set me up?

Let me tell you the truth.

I tampered with

the documents you signed.

What you invested in wasn't Zhang's pharmacy—

it was Happy House.

Why would you do this?

To have leverage over Captain Tang.

Something to save myself when it counts.

And look—

it's coming in handy now.

You lunatic!

Tang hasn't wronged you.

Are you trying to destroy him?

Mengying,

what's wrong?

Mom, it's nothing.

[Changsha Police Station]

Mrs. Tang.

You were looking for me?

What's the matter?

Huang,

let me ask you something.

Is Happy House doomed?

Is there no hope for recovery?

Mrs. Tang,

I know about your connection with Mrs. Jin.

But let me warn you—

stay out of this.

Anyone who gets involved will suffer for it.

Did a high-ranking official of Changsha

flee to Shanghai to become a traitor?

Don't even mention that.

The NBIS is investigating it.

And that incident

is linked to Happy House.

All those who had dealings with Happy House

are avoiding it like the plague,

afraid of being implicated.

Jin Gui...

If Jin Gui turns herself in,

can she save Happy House?

That depends on what she's willing to reveal.

If she spills something big enough,

not only could Happy House survive,

it might even

thrive in the future—

make a fortune.

What counts as something big?

For example,

who helped that official escape?

Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang.

Are you alright, Mrs. Tang?

Why don't you come in and have some water?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Oh, and listen—

don't tell Tang

anything about me

coming to see you.

Promise me, you won't tell him.

Alright.

Okay.

Okay.

[Yun Residence]

Kudo Hishiko,

Yun Hongqi's emotions

are not your concern.

What you need to focus on now

is playing the role of Mi Lan well.

He can feel sad and distressed,

but you can't.

Young Masters,

Miss Mi Lan is here.

Yun Hongshen's gaze carries a hint of hostility.

Has he started to suspect something?

Remember,

you are Mi Lan.

Today's performance

must go on.

Hongshen,

what happened just now?

It was Mi Lan.

Mi Lan did it?

Grandma must have accidentally

discovered some flaws in Mi Lan,

so Mi Lan silenced her.

I never would have thought

Mi Lan was a Japanese spy.

Uncle Yang,

you don't know

how much I doubted myself

when I came home

and saw Grandma.

I felt deeply unsure—

unsure whether I had

what it takes to stand

against Kunwu,

unsure whether

I could fulfill my father's

unfinished mission.

I felt like everything I had done was a complete mess.

Today's situation

is entirely my fault.

Hongshen.

Don't doubt yourself.

You've already become

an exceptionally outstanding fighter.

The calmness and patience you used to lack—

you now possess.

More importantly,

you've developed a broader perspective.

In the context of the national struggle against Japan,

you've learned to set aside personal grievances.

That's why I firmly believe

you will successfully complete the mission

Muzhi left behind.

If Muzhi were still here

and saw the progress you've made,

he'd be incredibly proud.

If I'd discovered Mi Lan's issue earlier,

Grandma wouldn't have been harmed.

This is all my fault.

Hongshen,

I understand the pain

and the guilt you're feeling

because

I feel the same.

Aunt Yun

was such

a respectable elder.

She gave me so much

warmth and support as I grew up.

When Muzhi was dying,

he entrusted her care to me,

but I failed.

I let both Muzhi

and Aunt Yun down.

Uncle Yang,

don't blame yourself.

I know you did your best.

Let's take those words

to encourage each other—

this is no time for self-reproach.

Based on what we know so far,

Mi Lan

being Onitetsu seems highly likely.

So, your decision not to act against her for now was right.

She might be our

best chance to find Kunwu.

However, one thing

deeply unsettles me—

Myna stole intelligence from the Japanese,

yet his daughter turned out to be a Japanese spy.

This is too strange.

Uncle Yang,

there's something I've been thinking about.

Why would my father risk his life

to get that message out?

What exactly was the message?

What was he suspicious of?

Hongshen,

you truly are smart.

Muzhi would be proud of you.

But we've

already started investigating that matter.

You should shift your focus elsewhere—

Mi Lan should be your top priority moving forward.

Understood.

Uncle Yang,

I'd like to

formally join the Party.

You've figured it out?

I've had that suspicion for a while.

Your father has always been my greatest role model.

I trust that

the faith he chose to follow

with such conviction

must be the right one.

Uncle Yang,

do you think I'm qualified to join the Party?

Of course.

As I said earlier,

you've already become

an exceptionally outstanding fighter.

Let me

be your introducer to the Party.

We'll formally submit

our application to the Party.

But, Hongshen, you must understand

that the Party has very strict discipline.

From now on,

you need to hold yourself

to an even higher standard.

You must follow the Party's commands in everything

and never act without organization or discipline.

Do you understand?

I understand.

But there's still a problem.

What problem?

Mi Lan's situation

can't be hidden from my brother.

[Yun Residence]

It's getting late.

I'll head back now.

Take care of yourself,

Don't let yourself fall apart—

Granny would want you to stay strong.

Dao,

see Mi Lan out.

Miss Mi Lan.

Jingyu,

go prepare the meal.

Alright.

Qi,

get up.

I have something important to tell you.

Hongqi,

get up.

Uncle Yang,

what's the matter?

Qi,

Mi Lan's identity

is not that simple.

Uncle Yang, what do you mean?

She's highly likely

to be the one who killed your grandmother.

Uncle Yang, you must be mistaken.

Mi Lan is so simple and pure.

There's no way it's her.

She's timid.

She wouldn't dare do something like this.

It's the Bai family.

Jingyu already told me.

Gui wanted to pull me into their business,

but Grandma refused.

She held a grudge because of it.

She's also bitter about the closure of Happy House.

That's why she resorted to desperate measures.

That's why she...

Unless Mrs. Jin wants to risk everything,

there's no way she'd harm Grandma.

Shen,

Gui...

She...

She panicked.

She took a reckless gamble.

It's entirely possible she did this.

Mrs. Jin's bodyguard

has already been silenced.

Impossible.

-It's impossible. -Hongqi.

I know it's hard to accept,

but why would Uncle Yang and I lie to you?

You're mistaken.

You've got it wrong.

It must be a mistake.

You're mistaken.

Hongqi,

you're my only family.

You're the last person I'd want to see hurt.

I would never lie to you.

I wish none of this were true as well.

Do you have any evidence?

This was embroidered by Grandma herself before she was killed.

The focus should be on Mi Lan's past social connections,

the suspicious individuals she interacted with,

and when she was turned.

The details you provide must be as thorough as possible.

And remember,

if you can include specific evidence

to back it up,

that would be ideal.

Understood.

I brought this on Grandma.

I let the wolf into the house.

Hongqi!

[Yun Residence]

Get me Director Dai.

Director,

this is Ling Han.

I have important information to report.

Yun Muzhi and his son are Communists.

[Please investigate Ling Han as soon as possible]

Director,

this radio station has only recently been activated.

Transmission times are brief,

and the operator is skilled.

I haven't yet fully identified

their transmission patterns.

Keep a close watch.

Monitor it closely.

The emergence of

a new radio station at a time like this

is no small matter.

Yes, sir.

Mengying,

how many clothes did you wash?

You've filled the whole yard with laundry.

Better to wash early than late.

The work has to be done anyway.

Mengying,

you're unusually diligent today.

Did something good happen?

I found some money.

Really?

How much?

I can't tell you that.

If I did,

you'd definitely tell me to return it.

Mengying,

times are tough now.

Whoever lost that money must be worried sick.

I'm kidding.

What luck would I have

to find money?

I'm lucky enough if I don't lose my own money.

Tang, are you hungry?

I can cook you something.

I'm not hungry.

I already ate outside.

Sit down.

Um,

I'm really tired.

I'm going to bed first.

Wait, sit down for a bit.

Tang,

let's chat.

Let's talk tomorrow.

I'm really exhausted today.

You should stop working too.

Go to sleep soon.

Oh, by the way,

Gui came to the bureau today to see me.

She said something strange.

She said she and I are in the same boat.

I don't even know what that means.

Mengying,

you're not

secretly doing anything

shady with her, are you?

Why do you have to say it like that?

I'm your wife.

Don't treat me

like one of your suspects.

Look,

here's the thing—

Gui's in real trouble

this time.

Don't get involved.

I can't

help her with this.

If I try to help,

I'll get dragged down too.

Don't worry,

No matter what,

I won't let her drag you down with her.

Go to bed early.

I'm going to sleep now.

-Don't touch Grandma! -Young Master!

-Don't touch Grandma! -Young Master!

-Don't touch Grandma! -Young Master!

-Don't touch Grandma! -Young Master! Wake up!

It's me, Dao.

Young Master!

Young Master.

I'm Dao.

You've been asleep for a while.

How do you feel now?

Mi Lan's identity

is not that simple.

She's highly likely

to be the one who killed your grandmother.

I wish none of this were true as well.

I have no reason

to falsely accuse Mi Lan.

Young Master,

where are you going?

I'm going to kill her.

Young Master, you can't go.

Second Young Master!

Hongqi.

Get out of my way.

I'm going to kill her to avenge Grandma.

Move aside!

Young Master, Young Master!

Hongqi. Hongqi!

Hongqi!

You think I don't want to kill her right now?

But it's not the time yet.

When will it be time?

When will it ever be time?

When Father died, you told me to wait.

Now Grandma is dead, and you're still telling me to wait.

You can wait.

But I can't.

I have to kill her and avenge Grandma.

Move aside!

Move aside!

Hongqi!

Hongqi.

-Don't touch me! -Hongqi.

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

The way you are now, Grandma and our parents

wouldn't forgive you!

Hongqi.

Hongqi.

Get up.

A real man stands up.

If Father, Mother, and Grandma resent me,

I'll beg them.

I'll keep begging until they forgive me.

But I will avenge Grandma.

I must.

Hongqi.

It was Grandma who decided

to let me join the NBIS

to track down the hidden Kunwu.

Grandma?

Grandma decided it?

At the time, she had just lost her son.

She knew it was dangerous,

but she still agreed to let me go.

Because she knew

what mattered more.

I don't care.

I don't care.

I just want to avenge Grandma.

All I want is revenge!

Hongqi.

But what was Grandma's real wish?

You were raised by Grandma.

Don't you know what she wanted?

You think I don't want revenge?

I want to tear her apart a thousand times over!

But if we recklessly get our revenge,

then what?

Will Grandma forgive us for that?

I know you can't forgive yourself.

You feel like it's your fault that Grandma died.

But because we both have guilt,

we need to find a way to make it right.

If you kill Mi Lan,

Kunwu will go completely silent.

The Japanese will

definitely revise their plans.

And when that happens,

our chances of defending Changsha

will be slim to none.

If we can't hold Changsha

and still have an enemy within,

can you bear the consequences of that?

I miss Grandma.

I miss Grandma.

I miss Grandma.

Second Young Master,

how is the Young Master doing?

Much better.

You must stay by his side at all times.

Do not let him out of your sight.

Understood.

I'll go in first then.

I'm not just after two lives.

I want everyone to know

that Old Madam Yun died at the hands of the Bai Clan.

And I don't see that outcome yet.

Explain.

Miss Kudo,

the timing was too tight.

Both the NBIS and the police reacted quickly.

I couldn't arrange all the details

under their watchful eyes.

I suggest

we stop here.

Let's not complicate things further.

Old Madam Yun was a well-known figure in Changsha.

There are too many eyes on this case.

Now that the NBIS is involved,

they won't leave us

any room to manipulate the situation.

Even if

there are gaps to exploit,

what about Yun Hongshen and Yun Hongqi?

Those brothers won't let it go.

I can even foresee

a very unfavorable outcome.

You, me, and the Bai Clan

will all be thoroughly investigated.

When that happens, our connections will be exposed.

You and I will both be revealed.

So,

doing nothing is the only way not to leave any evidence behind.

That's the safest

course of action.

What do you plan to do with Gui?

Let her live.

She might know some things about me,

but she should also know very well

what the consequences would be if she betrayed me.

So,

she won't say anything.

Honestly, this is already the best outcome.

The NBIS hasn't suspected you.

If we're lucky,

and the tension eases after a while,

we can think of another plan.

We might even

be able to

smooth the whole thing over.

And the rickshaw?

It's already been dealt with.

If she's just an ordinary nurse,

how could she have a handgun?

This gun and its hidden compartment alone

prove one thing—

Mi Lan's identity is anything but simple.
