[Deep Lurk]

[Episode 36]

Director, would you like some?

I'm not a fan of chocolate.

Thank you, though.

I haven't had lunch,

and I'm a bit hungry.

Just a quick snack.

Director,

my stomach hurts a bit.

I need to use the restroom.

Pull over.

Hurry up.

When the real work starts, the excuses multiply.

Sir,

the bill please.

I found this.

Go to Mi Lan's place and scare Zong Fang away.

Mi Lan's place.

Quick.

-Go to Mi Lan's place! - Got it.

She's hiding at her own house?

Zong Fang is probably at their place.

Dao.

Move at top speed!

We have to get there before the NBIS does.

Don't worry.

I know the shortcuts in Changsha like the back of my hand.

We'll take a shortcut.

Director,

we can divide into three action groups.

Group A will handle the attack, and I'll lead it.

Groups B and C can be under your command.

What do you think?

Not bad. Very thorough.

Let's go with that.

We're almost there.

Get ready to move.

[Detailed map of the capital city of Hunan Province and surroundings]

Don't make a sound.

They're gone, Young Master.

Get in the car, quickly.

Why is this painting placed here?

Was something pinned to the wall before?

Lyu.

Present!

Find me a map,

80 by 50 centimeters.

And prepare a box of thumbtacks.

Yes, Sir.

Wait a second.

Take this away later, too.

Yes.

Don't touch anything here yet.

Keep it as it is.

The water is still warm.

And the tea was freshly brewed.

Why did he suddenly run off?

You.

Go find someone to ask around.

See if anyone saw Zong Fang leaving

and how he left.

Understood.

Leader Yun.

Here's what you asked for.

These thumbtack positions

should represent the sites they're targeting.

But I can't guarantee

my reconstruction is completely accurate.

There might be some discrepancies.

I have a question.

There are at least a dozen

thumbtacks on this map, maybe more.

And that's not even the exact count.

How could Zong Fang, on his own,

manage to bomb so many places?

That's way too incredible.

So I suspect

there's more to this.

When Ling Han planned this operation,

he must have realized

they didn't have many people.

How could they accomplish the task

with limited manpower?

Chief.

I've thought about this issue too.

But I can't figure it out.

Now that Zong Fang's the only one left,

how could he possibly

bomb so many places?

Do you think he's hiding

some secret we don't know about?

I'm not sure either.

But I'm thinking,

if Zong Fang is going to carry out so many bombings on his own,

he probably wouldn't choose daytime.

Nor would he do it during the curfew.

He'd most likely act around midnight.

Considering the time now,

it's 4:47 PM.

There are just over seven hours until midnight.

Yun Hongshen,

you need to figure out

the real plan within these seven hours.

So we'll stop looking for Zong Fang?

Not stop entirely,

but delay it for a bit.

If Ling Han can really have Zong Fang

carry out so many bombings,

the consequences would be unimaginable.

So the most urgent task now

is to figure out what Ling Han's

so-called "clear path" is.

Wait a minute.

Shouldn't he be forcing me

to immediately find Zong Fang?

The solution to the bombing

is like two sides of a coin.

If Zong Fang is found,

there will be no one to carry out the bombings.

Conversely,

if the method behind the bombings is deciphered,

it can also stop Zong Fang.

So no matter what order

Ke Jingping gives Yun Hongshen,

it wouldn't raise suspicion.

But Ke Jingping told him to delay finding Zong Fang.

That order shouldn't have come from Kunwu.

Kunwu only wants to quickly complete

the strategic deception plan

and wouldn't give Yun Hongshen time to introduce new variables.

To achieve this goal,

Kunwu wouldn't design an overly complicated plan.

So, is Ke Jingping really Kunwu?

Yun Hongshen is completely confused.

Has he fallen into Ling Han's trap,

or into a new conspiracy by Ke Jingping?

Zong Fang left in a hurry,

taking only the most important items.

And

his method of destroying evidence was particularly crude.

This suggests

that he must have faced some kind of emergency,

forcing him to evacuate.

But what was the emergency?

Was someone after his life?

And who would that person be?

How did he know

Zong Fang was hiding in Mi Lan's house?

If it wasn't about his life,

then it must have been a problem with his operation.

But his accomplices are all gone.

How did he find out?

All this talk,

but what exactly are you trying to say?

I think someone tipped him off.

Of course, it's also possible

he had some kind of pre-installed

early warning system we don't know about.

As soon as we got close,

he was alerted

and left ahead of time.

Go investigate.

Yes.

Director,

I think this is just an ordinary piece of wrapping paper.

I hope

so too.

Throw it away.

I had someone retrieve

this piece of paper immediately,

but Zong Fang still escaped.

It seems the paper had nothing to do with it.

Then what exactly went wrong?

Well, the chocolate was eaten,

so of course, the wrapping paper would have been thrown away.

Nothing strange about that.

That's you.

Yun Hongshen comes from a prestigious family.

How can his habits compare to yours?

Right.

But no matter how noble,

he has to throw out trash sometimes, right?

Leave.

Get lost!

Yes.

These pieces of information were too chaotic and fragmented.

Yun Hongshen couldn't

integrate them all at once,

nor could he figure out

which detail was truly important.

This task was too overwhelming

and cumbersome.

Come in.

Leader Yun,

it's all organized for you now.

So quickly?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, I'll let you get back to work.

I have other tasks to attend to, so I'll be on my way.

Hello?

Is this the Archives?

This is Yun Hongshen from the Operations Division of the NBIS.

There's something

I need to check with you.

Did our Director Ling contact you

about half a month ago?

Yes.

How long did he stay?

What kind of materials did he review?

Got it.

Thank you.

Please call me back once you've figured it out.

My number is...

Deputy Chief,

are you busy?

No,

I'm also looking into

the "clear path" Ling Han pointed out to Zong Fang.

Have a seat.

What's up?

Need something from me?

Deputy Chief,

do you remember who provided the birth certificate

for Ling Han to Director Ji back then?

Can you still find that person?

I can.

Why?

I just had a sudden thought.

This person might be in danger.

You're worried that Ling Han holds a grudge against him

for revealing his origins

and might use the Japanese to get revenge?

Everything that's happened since Ling Han's death

proves he's a vindictive,

ruthless person.

For such a deep grudge,

if he can't act directly,

he'd use the Japanese to take it out on others.

You've got a kind heart,

truly.

But I don't think it's necessary.

Our useless compassion

could become a burden,

and it doesn't do us

any good.

I understand.

But sometimes,

if I don't speak up about something,

I feel uneasy.

Some lives

we can coldly disregard,

but for their families,

losing them

is like the sky falling.

Just now, while going through some records,

I accidentally

came across a record of compensation payments.

No idea which careless person

stuffed it

into Ling Han's office communication records.

When I saw it,

it brought back memories

and made me think of that person.

Forget it. No need to go on.

Anyway, Deputy Chief, I'll let you get back to work.

I'll take my leave now.

"Brought back memories" ?

He specifically came to me to just for this trivial matter.

No, that can't be it.

He wouldn't bring personal emotions like this

into work.

He'd never want anyone to notice that side of him.

He put a dried flower

inside a chemistry book.

That must hold some meaning.

Hello?

Hello,

this is the City Archives.

I've found the materials Director Ling reviewed that day.

Okay.

Just a moment.

Go ahead.

Ling Han only stayed at the Archives

for just over an hour.

There's no way he could have gone through all the documents.

Most of the documents he checked were likely to divert attention.

What he really wanted to see

must have been this

piece of Western research

on East Asian racial analysis.

At the time, he might have already

suspected something about Ke Jingping

and wanted to identify traits

that distinguished him from the Chinese.

That's why he sought out this kind of research material.

If Ke Jingping wanted to make something of the fact

that Ling Han visited the Archives,

the list of documents is definitely not what

he wants Yun Hongshen to see.

Hello?

This is Yun Hongshen.

I called earlier.

Sorry to trouble you again,

but I have another question for you.

Have you noticed any missing materials recently?

So that's how it is.

Ke Jingping really is vicious.

Yun Hongshen figured it out so quickly?

That's some sharp thinking.

Well, that's why he's an impressive figure.

He's only been here for a short while,

and now he's on equal footing with us.

Exactly.

In the past, whenever there was a major meeting at the station,

only we directors could attend.

Now,

it seems like we can't even

hold a meeting without Yun Hongshen.

Chief,

time is tight.

Let me get straight to the point.

Go ahead.

These locations are clustered together.

A bank, a hospital, a school, the City Government building,

[Map of Changsha]

and a department store.

If there's a chain of explosions

at these locations,

this entire area will be devastated.

A chain of explosions?

This isn't a relay race.

Zong Fang is the only one left.

How could he pull off a chain reaction?

By using the underground pipelines for detonation.

Half a month ago,

Ling Han visited the City Archives

and spent over an hour there.

Afterward, a set of

underground pipeline design plans for Changsha went missing.

I've gone through the details briefly,

and I think I understand his plan.

Zong Fang likely placed explosives

throughout these underground pipelines.

Near every spot where explosives are stored,

there are flammable and explosive solid materials.

Additionally, beneath every residential area and office building,

there's a septic tank.

As long as there's an open flame,

a gas explosion could easily occur.

The shockwave from the explosion

would ignite those flammable materials,

which would then detonate the nearby explosives,

triggering the next round of explosions.

This process would repeat,

creating a chain reaction.

And a single person

could orchestrate this entire chain reaction.

Zong Fang prepared everything half a month ago?

Do you know the starting point

of this gas explosion?

It's likely the Military Hospital.

That's where Mi Lan used to work.

She and Zong Fang are both familiar with the area,

making it easier for them to act.

If the underground pipelines in that area

contain so many explosives,

the entire zone

is essentially a giant powder keg.

A casually tossed cigarette butt,

a child setting off a firecracker...

Any open flame could trigger an explosion.

And Zong Fang will likely

act tonight.

His last safe location

has already been discovered by us.

So, Chief,

I suggest immediate action.

Notify the search team

to head there immediately.

Ensure all entrances and exits

of the underground pipelines are secured.

Also,

have the police head over

to maintain order at the scene.

Yun Hongshen,

you and Director Gong will oversee this operation.

All station resources are at your disposal.

Yes, Sir.

Go ahead.

Captain,

the team is here.

Block all the intersections

and conduct thorough inspections of passing vehicles.

Roger.

Disperse.

Put this in the back car.

And this one in the front car.

Move quickly!

Director,

I'll head straight to the hospital.

You go check the bank first.

Once the explosives there are cleared,

come meet me at the hospital.

Alright.

I'll head over now.

[DANGER]

Keep an eye on everything.

No unauthorized personnel are allowed near.

Yes, Madam.

We have a major operation near the hospital today.

I've heard Zong Fang is planning

a chain explosion in the area.

Go notify the doctors

to secure any items

that could cause an explosion.

Who's down there now?

Liu Chao from Team Two.

Tell him to keep a close watch on every nook and cranny

of the hospital.

Mi Lan worked here for a long time.

She was very familiar with this place,

which means Zong Fang is also very familiar with this place.

Don't let him exploit any gaps.

Understood.

There are so many trash bins on the road,

yet you had to throw it on the ground?

What if it caused a fire?

Yes.

We won't do it again.

You may leave.

Let's go.

Captain Tang,

from now until the operation is over,

no open flames are allowed on the streets.

Advise people to stay inside and not roam around.

Don't worry.

Leave it to me.

Open that box.

Pair up.

One person carries a flashlight,

the other a water bottle.

When you go down,

immediately wet the ground.

Once you find the explosives,

leave one person to handle the site.

Make sure there are no hazards left behind.

Go.

Huang,

arrange this task.

Don't worry, Captain.

Captain Tang,

come with me.

-Okay. -Pair up in teams.

Here.

Captain Tang,

I remember you're a local of Changsha, right?

Yes,

I've never

left Changsha since I was born.

So you're familiar with every street and alley here?

I'm not looking for “kind of familiar”.

I need you to know it inside out.

Well,

I wouldn't say

I know every street

and every little corner,

but

I have a solid sense of the area.

Within this range,

are there any places that people usually ignore

or that don't have much practical use?

Let me think.

It's because people rarely pay attention to such places

that

I haven't memorized them.

Although I'm also from Changsha,

I've been away for too long.

I don't recognize many places anymore.

This is something I'll have to rely on you for.

Zong Fang's last safe location

has just been raided.

To complete his final task,

he's likely conducting a last-minute inspection...

-And may be hiding somewhere nearby. -Please avoid going outside unnecessarily.

Residents, please stay safe.

Okay.

Let's work together on this.

Tonight,

Zong Fang will meet his end at our hands.

Could he have discovered my true identity?

Didn't Secretary Wu keep it from him?

Don't worry.

I'll stay by your side

to help you complete this mission.

Good.

Once you find him,

come to the Military Hospital to meet me.

Sir.

He must have slipped in through the back door.

From my experience,

on a dark and windy night like this,

one wouldn't use the main entrance to do something shady.

So

the back door is their top choice.

Don't you agree?

That's why you're not cut out to be a true villain.

All it takes is someone blocking the back door,

and you'd be caught instantly.

Leader Yun,

I've figured it out!

Where?

By coincidence,

it's not far from here.

Exit the hospital gates

and head north for 200 meters.

There's an east-west street.

The further west you go on that street, the more desolate it gets.

To the south is a residential area,

but between the back wall of the residential area

and the street, there's a grove of trees.

To the north is an industrial zone currently under redevelopment,

where construction hasn't started yet.

At night, it's pitch-black over there.

So,

that area always gives off an eerie vibe,

especially after dark.

On that street,

there's an abandoned power distribution room.

Last year, someone died

in that room

under gruesome circumstances.

Since then, the locals

find the place haunting.

They stay as far away as possible when passing by.

After the incident,

the power distribution room was decommissioned.

They said it would be repaired

once construction on the factory began.

So

it's pretty close to here.

Leader Yun,

are you suggesting

that Zong Fang is hiding there?

Leader Yun.

There's the power distribution room ahead.

That window has blinds.

Through the gaps,

he can easily see what we're doing.

If we approach directly,

we'll be exposed.

To the side, there's a small grove.

It's harder to be spotted there,

but the area is cluttered with debris.

If we accidentally make a noise,

we'll still be exposed.

Captain Tang,

take your men

and circle around to the back.

Got it.

Follow me.

Let's go.

Be careful.

Let Director Gong go.

Give me a car

to leave in.

Fine.

The car is right over there.

But you can't harm Director Gong.

We've already found all the explosives.

Even if you escape now,

you won't complete the mission Kunwu gave you.

I believe in an old saying,

"As long as the green hills remain,

there's no fear of running out of firewood."

-Director. -Director.

-Director. -Don't move!

Don't move!

Don't touch me!

The fake backstory you fabricated

ruined Ling Han completely.

Where's the cipher key?

You'll never find it.

Director, be careful.

Director, he's dead.

Then…

What about the cipher key?

He wouldn't say.

We need him alive! Alive!

What did I tell you?

Director,

I was aiming for his shoulder,

but he suddenly lunged forward.

I accidentally hit his chest.

It wasn't on purpose.

Thanks for earlier.

We're all on the same side.

No need to be polite.

Previously, I never noticed your marksmanship was so good.

Director,

it was just dumb luck.

It was dark,

and I fired randomly.

You two,

carry the body away.

Director,

your gun.

Chief.

We've located Zong Fang and all the explosives.

However, during the arrest,

Zong Fang was shot and killed.

And the cipher key?

Director,

we've checked everything.

It's nearly identical to the scenario you reconstructed,

just a few minor omissions.

It's fine.

We'll have them take this map

and dismantle the explosives in those spots later.

You're impressive.

You guessed Ling Han's plan almost perfectly.

If someone didn't know better,

they'd think this despicable idea was yours.

I just got lucky.

You'd have figured it out too, Director.

I only put in more effort

because I have unresolved feelings about Ling Han.

Let's head back.

No rush.

Shouldn't we visit the hospital first?

A short delay won't matter.

Let's report back to the Chief first.

Even though we've found Zong Fang,

the cipher key's location

remains a mystery.

Who knows how to explain this to the Chief?

This isn't your fault.

It's mine for dragging you into this.

Don't worry.

I'll handle the explanations when we get back.

Captain Tang,

thanks for your help.

It's nothing.

Take care, Director.

Let's move.

[Bureau of Investigation and Statistics]

At the time, we were so concerned about the cipher key's whereabouts

that we didn't dare aim for his vital areas.

Zong Fang took advantage of that,

charging at us like he didn't care for his life.

That's why this incident happened.

Chief,

this was entirely my failure.

I'm willing to accept full responsibility.

Chief...

No matter what,

this mission was

a life-threatening operation.

If anything had truly

gone wrong,

neither of you would've made it back.

Compared to your loyalty to the KMT,

this failure means little.

Thank you, Chief.

Have a seat.

That said,

we must prioritize the search for the cipher key.

Yun Hongshen, what are your thoughts?

Nothing definitive yet,

but I believe in human effort.

We've endured the hardest part.

There's no reason to falter just before reaching the summit.

Chief,

what if Zong Fang

destroyed the cipher key?

Think about it.

After leaving Mi Lan's place,

he was focused on triggering the chain explosion.

He must've been desperate.

In a fit of rage,

he might've destroyed the cipher key to ensure

that if he couldn't have it,

no one else could.

That's how they usually think, isn't it?

Unlikely.

From his attempt to take Director Gong hostage to save his life,

it's clear he kept the cipher key as leverage.

As for the cipher key itself,

though it's hard to find,

we're not entirely without clues.

I believe anything that has happened

leaves behind traces.

If we carefully review

the entire sequence of events,

we can piece together many answers.

Alright,

let's call it a day.

Dismissed.

Even the biggest problems

can wait until tomorrow.

Yun Hongshen, hold on a second.

Are you heading to the hospital later?

I'll go with you.

Yeming

is a tough kid.

She's had a hard time all these years.

If she's found someone to rely on for life,

I can finally feel at ease.

But to be honest,

I really didn't want her to end up with someone in the same field.

Still, what's the use of saying so much?

Ultimately, it's her choice.

If she likes you, there's nothing I can do.

But let me tell you,

this girl is stubborn.

Don't let her down.

Why aren't you saying anything? Cat got your tongue?

I'm just a bit surprised.

Let's go, what are you waiting for?

I still have some documents to handle.

You go on ahead.

You know,

you two are quite similar.

Once you start working,

you forget everything else.

But remember,

it's not me she wants to see. It's you.

Hurry up.

Ke Jingping's series of reactions and actions

once again plunged Yun Hongshen into inner conflict.

He seemed to be handling the situation

with ease,

entirely unlike Kunwu, who was desperate to find the cipher key

even at the cost of orchestrating a chain explosion.

But Zong Fang's reaction before his death

regarding Ling Han's fabricated background

indirectly confirmed that

the information provided by the Organization was accurate.

"The fake backstory you fabricated

ruined Ling Han completely."

"Where's the cipher key?"

"You'll

never find it."

It seems the only way to prove

Ke Jingping is indeed Kunwu

is to locate the hidden chamber on the map.

So, it really is him!

This man is a devil,

treating everyone like pawns,

manipulating them at will.

What's terrifying

is that he not only succeeded

but has never been at a disadvantage.

Hongqi.
