Detective vs. Sleuths (2022) Movie Script
1
Sounds of water on both sides
and a bridge at the front door.
On the 29th step down,
I heard pinwheels.
A turn,
then another 38 steps down.
There's a narrow staircase
further down,
lots of tiny shelled nuts
on the ground.
"The Butcher Case"
I have to remember the path.
I have to catch him.
I have the victim
at Tai Kei Leng nullah,
between the two villages!
Miss!
I'm a police officer.
Keung didn't kill anyone!
He didn't kill no one!
Keung was framed!
Keung didn't kill no one!
Put the sickle down!
Keung didn't kill anyone!
Stop framing Keung!
Keung didn't kill anyone!
I'm Auyeung from Yuen Long
Criminal Investigation Department!
Put that knife down
and let the kid go!
Put that knife down
and let the kid go!
I didn't klll no one!
Put the kid down.
Put down the kid.
- Put the kid down!
- Put down the kid.
Dad!
- Dad!
- It is okay now...
"Four years later"
"The Devil Cop Case"
Guess what?
My twin boys got
into their first-choice schools,
my wife is over the moon!
My son only got
his 7th preference back then,
which is in Tin Shui Wai.
I was exhausted school-hopping
for open slots.
Cheng Kai-ming,
did you raise Dispatch?
Is it an emergency?
Are you under attack?
Leung Chit, what's wrong?
Are you under attack?
Hang in there, Ming!
Pupil dilated, he's in Category 1.
Ming, can you tell me what happened?
One, two, three!
I was hurt worse 4 years ago,
it'll be okay!
Chit, is he the one that shot you?
One, two, three!
Don't go to sleep, Chit!
He's one of us,
I found a warrant card on him.
I am Fong Lai-shun
from the Kwun Tong Crime Squad.
Why'd you shoot your own fellows?
- Yee, where's your boyfriend?
- In there.
Shun, what happened?
He's one of us,
Emergency Unit driver in Tsuen Wan.
Remember the Tai Fat Securities
heist with the murdered guard?
The perpetrator was never caught,
the gun in the robbery
was stolen from a policeman
who was murdered two years prior.
CCTV showed the robber had
white sneakers with red shoelaces.
One, two, three!
He's holding a rusted point 38,
the serial number
matches that stolen gun.
How dare you kill your own fellow,
you murderer!
You already killed a policeman,
now you've killed two more!
Are you doing that
for another heist?
Settle down!
The Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
is here!
- Yan.
- What happened, Auyeung?
The guy that just got carted out
is a police as well.
He killed a policeman two years ago
at North Point and stole his gun,
then killed a guard
of Tai Fat Securities with it...
On the night of the 4th at 1 am,
two policemen, Leung and Cheng,
exchanged fire with a suspect
in an alleyway at Kwun Tong.
"Hate"
Three were pronounced dead
at the hospital.
Two years ago in North Point,
a similar case occurred.
Policeman Choi Tsz-him
was ambushed and killed
by an assailant.
Hey, I'm your daughter,
not a suspect!
I hate you!
An inspection
by our firearms forensics team
confirmed that the murder weapon
was the late Policeman Choi's
missing gun.
We have confirmed
that the suspect is
Chun Chi-to, a Emergency Unit driver
who worked in Tsuen Wan.
Shame!
Yan, you idiot!
Posing at a crime scene
doesn't make you a detective!
Stop right there!
Detective Lee, you're on suspension!
- You can get in...
- Get out on my way!
- Detective Lee...
- Get off!
Commissioner,
can you confirm there
were only 3 men at the crime scene?
Do you agree
that Chun Chi-to is The Devil Cop?
Yes.
No!
Detective Lee, stop!
You're all wrong!
How dare you call your fellow
as The Devil Cop!
You should be transferred to
the boondocks for incompetence!
Lee Jun!
Detective Lee, don't!
The victim isn't the perpetrator,
just go back to school, you fool!
Detective Lee...
Chun wasn't the perpetrator,
there was a fourth person
at the scene!
Chun Chi-to was snatched
when he left work,
the killer dragged him to Kwun Tong.
He shoved a gun in Chun's mouth
and hid in the alleyway.
Leung Chit was being shot
in the head!
Cheng Kai-ming was being shot
in the mouth!
2 hits with 5 shots!
At the T-intersection.
3 hits with 6 shots!
Leung Chit was shot!
Cheng Kai-ming as well,
hit in the chest.
Finally...
The killer shoots Chun in the mouth,
then shoves the gun in his hand.
The stolen money was in his locker
with Tai Fat Securities' cash box.
He was framed!
Just like the Butcher Case
4 years ago!
The evidence was planted!
You got evidence, but no witness!
The suspects were killed
on the scene!
Investigate Senior Inspector Auyeung
who was in charge of both cases,
he's very fishy!
His methods are fishy!
I'm not the fishy one,
but your mental health are!
The Butcher Case was botched!
The Devil Cop Case was botched!
They died in vain
and left their families behind!
Trust me, I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
I've never been wrong before,
I solve every case!
Trust me, I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
I'm never wrong.
I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
"Seventeen years later"
"The Chosen Sleuths Case"
Dad, Mom!
I finally got revenge for you!
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting!
Let's split!
Madam, the Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau is here.
What happened, honey?
There was another torched corpse
case here 20 years ago,
the victims were the married owners
of this wholesale market.
The methods were pretty brutal,
so Crime Squad thought
it was over a debt
or a triad turf dispute.
But no one was charged in the end.
These three
are the owner's older brothers.
They took over the business then,
who sold it five years later
and split the cash.
No one ever suspected them.
So someone thinks the victims
killed the market owners
then used the same methods
to get justice.
These are our case numbers,
the perpetrator
must have police connections.
Eight sets of handwriting,
so at least a dozen suspects.
21 cases numbers in total,
19 of them is about missing persons,
2 are dead body being found.
All female victims.
So their next target
is a serial killer.
Leaving a sneak preview
at the crime scene.
With a precise name.
Spread out!
"The Chosen Sleuths"
The characters are formed
with 21 case numbers,
which are all from missing women
and dead body being found cases.
Their next target
may be a serial killer.
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one.
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Chosen Sleuth!
Help me!
Someone's killing in your name!
Help me!
I'm their next target, Sleuth!
Who are you?
It's me,
the psychopath who killed 21 girls!
I go berserk when it rains!
You must remember me, you're
the only one who suspected me!
The night shift cabbie in Kowloon,
Lau Kwok-wan!
I killed all female passengers!
The flight attendant, student,
restaurant receptionist
and lounge hostess!
I chopped them
and tossed them into the sewer!
You even gave me
an awesome nickname,
The Rainy Night Monster!
I don't save fool.
Whether I am or not,
you still have to save me!
Why should I?
I may be a fool, but I'm human too!
How dare they call themselves
The Chosen Sleuths!
How dare they leave case numbers
after killing,
and preview for the next murder!
They're openly challenging
the police!
Auyeung!
Out of 21 cases,
19 are missing women
and the other two victims' remains
was being washed up in the harbor.
A serial murder
needs 3 linked cases,
so the Organised Crime and
Triad Bureau wasn't called on it.
That's how the psychopath got away.
The cases cover a long period
from 1985 to 1993.
The disappearances all happened
at night from 22:30 onwards,
a school girl goes missing
after a school banquet.
Latest one was at 04:00,
an lounge hostess
went missing after work.
They all had different backgrounds.
Nightclub hostess,
office worker, flight attendant
and newspaper editor...
14 cases in Kowloon
and 5 in New Territories,
none on Hong Kong Island.
It's such a wide area,
the perpetrator must've had a car.
No report of forced abductions,
so the women got
in the car voluntarily.
It must be a night shift taxi
in Kowloon.
Call the Taxi Drivers Association,
and ask for drivers in 1993
who stopped driving
for illness or jail.
Where are you going?
My taxi firm is on Fa Yuen Street!
Because of having Parkinson's,
you quit in 1993!
Oh, right...
My sanitorium is on Bute Street!
On Bute Street!
Those Sleuths must've
followed your mode of operation
and killed you on a rainy night.
It was pouring last night,
I'm sure that
you're in the sewers already.
Let's collect your corpse!
No, Sleuth!
I don't want to die!
Hurry, Sleuth! Step on it!
3 days ago at Tung Wah Hospital,
a Parkinson's patient
was reported missing.
Lau Kwok-wan, diagnosed in 1993
who claimed to be a taxi driver
in Kowloon.
Oh, no!
I've really croaked!
Marine Police
just got a report 2 minutes ago,
about a floating corpse
in Tsuen Wan.
It's cut in half!
YMT as Yau Ma Tai Precinct,
and starting with RN9
means that's in the 90s.
That's an entire decade, which one?
I'll know
when I find your bottom half.
Where is it?
Where did you dump your corpses?
In Nai Chung!
I dumped corpses in Nai Chung,
so those Sleuths
must've dumped me there!
I'll start looking in Nai Chung!
You have to catch these Sleuths,
to show your daughter that you're
not insane, but the Chosen Sleuth!
Go, Sleuth!
Your father isn't insane,
he's the Chosen Sleuth...
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
is on the scene.
That's only half the case number,
a case of Organised Crime and Triad
Bureau at Yau Ma Tei in the 90s.
Ask Marine Police to find the rest,
and send 4 teams to Yau Ma Tei
to investigate on it.
Someone filmed this psychotic
recovering the corpse,
it looks like Lee Jun.
Jun, that psychotic.
Order all policemen
to capture him on sight.
Yes, sir!
I'm not insane,
I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
I'm not insane,
I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
Every serial killer has a trigger,
what was his?
Thunder and rain!
Helen Yau, three consecutive days
of squally weather!
Sandy Yim,
a whole week of pouring rain!
Mandy Kong, black rainstorm warning!
Is there a sewage outfall
where the half-corpse was found?
Yes.
Call Drainage Services for maps,
the other half may be in the sewers.
Copy!
Stop!
Jump!
I'll die!
Don't you want to see your daughter?
I really do!
Then jump!
I'll jump!
Jump, man!
Let people know that
you're Sleuth, not insane.
Then your daughter will come back.
- I'm jumping!
- What are you doing there, sir?
The Chosen Sleuth is working.
Lee Jun,
Serious and Botched Cases Bureau!
Back off, West Kowloon fools!
How did you know
we're from West Kowloon?
Number 39633, Chan Yee!
Dubbed the "Lady Sleuth
of West Kowloon"!
A relentless investigator, like me.
But you messed up
at the Devil Cop case,
you suspected Chun!
You were duped by the real killer!
Can you tell me
what case you're working on?
20 years ago, a taxi driver
killed women on rainy nights
and dumped the bodies here.
So those Sleuths cut him in two
and dumped him here.
His top half washed up in Tsuen Wan.
I only found the precinct code
of Yau Ma Tai on it.
The rest of the case number
is on the bottom half
which got stuck in this sewer now!
The psychotic has been washed away!
Go west along the On Lok Road,
there's an open-air nullah near the
junction beside Hing Fook Building.
Lee Jun, former Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau Chief Inspector.
A year after his melancholic wife
commit suicide, he then discharged.
That year, he went on board
of a refugee boat with Wong Yan,
investigating a murde case.
He claimed that he saw a demon.
Why were you standing there?
That was a demon!
What demon?
It's as big as a person!
Posing at a crime scene
isn't working.
Were you blind?
Yan and the others
only saw Jun firing at air.
Fire Department searched for days
and found nothing.
The doctor diagnosed him
with acute paranoia,
who was then being transferred
and disarmed.
He then overstepped his bounds,
hoarded cases,
accused others
of botching investigations.
He became a pariah.
For pulling a gun
at the Devil Cop press conference,
he got discharged and being sent
to the Psych Center for 5 years.
The doctor said he suffered
from hallucinations.
He says there's an Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau squad in his brain
and that he sees
perpetrators confessing to him.
After the release,
He was involved in 19 cases
of Mentally Incapacitated Person.
He set himself on fire
at a wholesale market,
second-degree burn and said that he
was only on the Torched Corpse Case.
He jumped into a nullah
at On Lok Road,
and it took three squads
of firefighters to save him.
He said that he was
after the Rainy Night Monster.
Lee Jun is a legend
in the police force,
his nickname was The Chosen Sleuth.
He's investigated
both cases we have,
he may be connected
to these Sleuths cases.
The second half is 7103843!
The Flying Corpses Case!
In Yau Ma Tei, the Three Tigers
threw a family off a building
on Temple Street.
So those Sleuths
are about to do the same
to them tonight!
Get in the car!
Can't you see it's full?
Take another car!
Don't be a cop if you're blind,
idiot!
Cissy, call it in
and watch the corpse.
Yes, madam!
We're off to Temple Street!
- Yes, madam!
- Got it.
We're about to die.
Step on it, idiot!
Those three sitting in the back
killed a whole family only because
they couldn't reclaim a flat.
We didn't do it ourselves,
but our men!
It took us 8 years
to reclaim the street,
that family was the only one
holding out.
Then the financial crisis hit...
We lost a fortune!
The whole family deserved to die!
We didn't kill them all,
we spared the son!
You didn't spare him,
but he was hiding under the bed!
You lowlives!
You are right,
but you still have to save us!
So hurry up, you idiot!
Call me Detective!
I'd just let you die
if I wasn't a police!
You're not a police anymore,
you don't have to be so into it.
I am a police!
Once a police, always a police!
Before I solve all the cases
and catch all the perpetrators,
no one can fire me!
The police force needs me!
Show me your ID cards...
Yeung Lai,
Temple Street Flying Corpses case.
Copy.
Temple Street.
- Team C go with Lai!
- Yes, sir!
- Both cars of Team B come with me!
- Copy that!
Beg, beg my family for forgiveness!
Beg!
The Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau is here.
Toss them.
We were wrong, we'll pay!
- Anything you want!
- How dare you!
Yee Hing gang has 30,000 members...
- We're not going to make it!
- Hurry!
You and you, back stairs with me!
You three, front stairs.
You four, lift lobby!
Put on your vests!
To kidnapp and toss these 3 men,
the Sleuths needs at least
a dozen people.
They must be armed too,
get ready for open fire!
Open fire!
Police!
Don't follow me, you pregnant!
Go!
Run!
Run!
The next case, Aberdeen Typhoon
Shelter Human Soup case!
Move!
It's dangerous, you pregnant!
Police!
Go!
Stop following me, get off!
Put the gun down!
Police on duty, out of the way!
Fong, it's Yee!
Out of the way!
Freeze!
He's Lee Jun,
not one of those Sleuths.
He led us to the Sleuths...
Are you okay?
The baby's okay.
Let that mentally-incapacitated go.
The baby says it's okay.
How fierce!
It even cheered me on.
This is Superintendent Auyeung,
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau!
Put down your guns!
We just want revenge,
we don't want to hurt anyone else!
Step aside,
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau!
Run!
Are you insane?
That's Lee Jun!
He brought those police there,
and got our guys killed!
He's not a nut!
He's "The Chosen Sleuth"!
- Sleuth!
- We are guilty!
96076888, we did it!
- That's Baldie, I'm Fishmonger!
- Yes!
In 1996, Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter
Human Soup Case!
- That's right!
- Shut up, you two!
Why didn't the girl
let them shoot me?
Find me and you'll find the girl!
Come to Tuen Mun,
I'm in Sam Shing Estate!
Forget him, he's too far away!
I am just nearby,
I operate a lorry in Yau Ma Tei,
- Come save me first!
- Shut up!
I beg you!
I'm dead meat,
they're going to cook me!
Please save me!
I'm a fool,
but I don't want to be soup!
Please, I beg you...
I pray that you solve every case!
"Chow Fook-lai"
"Ian Knot"
"Both shoes are in different knots"
Get this to
the Technical Services Division
and see what's in the tape.
Yes, sir.
We killed six perpetrators
at Temple Street last night,
and two other perpetrators
are in a coma.
The one in the lobby
is the kid whose family was killed
by the Tigers.
The two in the stairwell
are two of the missing women's sons.
One of the two perpetrators
who was killed on the 8th floor
is the son of
the 1994 Torched Corpses victims.
So these killings aren't random,
the victims' families
are taking revenge as a team.
The next case number is
the Typhoon Shelter Human Soup Case,
check on the families
of the victims!
"Typhoon Shelter Human Soup Case"
"Into nine pieces"
"Kwok Tai-kam"
"Chow Fook-lai, nicknamed Baldie"
"His wife Chiu Hay-mui,
nicknamed Fishmonger"
Take photos and send them to Fong!
Yes, sir!
I got their IDs.
This is Baldie, that is Fishmonger.
The couple lived in Aberdeen
when the Human Soup Case happened.
Baldie now works shady bit jobs
in Tuen Mun,
while Fishmonger operates a lorry
in Yau Ma Tei.
All these cases
are connected to Jun.
Everyone in his notes ends up dead.
Both at the nullah
and Temple Street,
he was first on the scene.
This smells fishy to me,
get a warrant for his arrest!
Move this away.
"Cold Case"
"Suspects were framed"
"Torched Corpses Case"
"Tsang Wing-tim and his wife
were burnt to death"
"Auyeung is fishy"
How dare you keeps calling me fishy!
You're the fishy one!
"Lok Ma Chau

of Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Lee Jun,
Serious and Botched Cases Bureau!
Urgent call for West Kowloon
Crime Squad's Chan Yee...
"No entry"
1:30 pm bus for Panyu, one ticket.
1:30 pm bus for Panyu, nine tickets.
Why didn't you answer?
I'm working, why in a rush?
Haven't you seen the news?
Some Sleuths are murdering people!
I'm running!
Do you think they're really Sleuths?
They won't find us! Grow a pair!
Why are you standing?
You're blocking my view, sit down!
Fortunately, you are lucky.
The baby's heart rate
and fetal position are normal.
But after a fall like that,
you need to stay for observation.
Thank you.
There's some Serious
and Botched Case Bureau
who keeps calling
for Inspector Chan.
Jun, where are you?
Near the border at Lok Ma Chau.
I've been calling all morning!
Baldie from the Human Soup Case
is taking the 1:30 pm bus to Panyu.
Those Sleuths are following him,
they're about to cook him!
Call your husband, Fong,
to get the local division to send in
Special Weapons And Tactics team.
What Baldie? Human Soup Case?
A report came in from Yau Ma Tei
5 minutes ago,
Fishmonger was attacked
on her lorry!
This is Yan Wong.
Jun says he saw those Sleuths
tailing a guy named Baldie,
a suspect in the Human Soup Case.
He's at Lok Ma Chau,
taking the 1:30 pm bus to Panyu.
I'm on the way!
Jun and those Sleuths
are all insanes.
You can't go!
Jun is the key to solving the case!
I just have to!
Yee says Jun spotted Baldie
who is tailed by the Sleuths,
they're taking the 1:30 pm bus
at Lok Ma Chau.
Chu and Lai,
take Teams B and C
to the Typhoon Shelter.
Copy!
- Call Auyeung!
- Yes, madam!
The border area is restricted,
I'll call the Customs
and ask for the Task Force.
So leave your guns.
Customs will intercept
before they reach the border.
They moved so quickly
on Temple Street,
I suspect a mole.
Either in Organised Crime and Triad
Bureau or West Kowloon Crime Squad.
You're alone?
Where's your husband?
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau?
Special Weapons And Tactics Team?
Fong will be here in time!
"Organised Crime and Triad Bureau"
Dispatch said Fishmonger
was attacked by 4 people.
Search the entire shelter!
Superintendent Auyeung!
There's smoke coming from that boat,
it seems like someone is cooking!
Hey, they really cooked her!
Revenge's made them insane!
Turn around!
The female leader isn't here.
Why didn't she fire at you?
Maybe she is the daughter of
Sheh Keung from the Butcher Case.
Dad!
Those Sleuths
must've gone to my hideout
and read my case notes,
that's how they found their targets.
Keung's daughter is the leader.
I wrote that
her father was innocent,
so she didn't kill me.
That case was solved, right?
I've been saying for 20 years,
he was framed!
Sit down!
Auyeung's methods are fishy!
You seem fishy to me, too!
And so does the driver.
She's the female leader
you mentioned.
Where's your daughter?
Is everyone okay?
"Hate"
Excuse me, pardon me!
Chai Ka-chu is the Devil Cop's son!
Yeung Lai is the Butcher's daughter!
Why?
Why is that?
The Butcher Case?
Oh, no!
The Devil Cop Case
has nothing to do with me!
This is Hong Kong Customs!
Put down your weapons,
let the hostage go!
Cook him in the asphalt!
Help me!
Who will you kill
for The Butcher Case?
Is it Auyeung Kim?
I suspected him, but it's not him!
Stop killing!
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Let's go!
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Inspector Fong, Inspector Cheung!
The Butcher Case?
Why is it our case?
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Stop calling them Sleuths!
Stop turning them into heros!
Leaving case numbers after killing
aren't solving cases, but murder!
Police who have been hurt and killed
are the real heroes.
The Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
and all 30,000 officers
in the Police Force
will do all we can
to stop these criminals
and restore order!
Inspector Fong!
Fong!
We've lost two guys, Yu and So.
Nab them before sunrise
and save Superintendent Auyeung!
Yes, sir!
Madam.
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
So he was speaking
to his daughter in code?
Jun may be one of those Sleuths,
I'll grill him.
Yee.
Those Sleuths left
the two case numbers
of Butcher and Devil Cop,
and they nabbed Auyeung.
We went to Auyeung's home
to see if they bugged it,
and we found
the speedloader that was missing
in the Devil Cop Case.
And these evidence as well.
"Student ID card
of Lingdong University"
"Chan Yee"
Keung wasn't the Butcher,
but Auyeung?
Have you really forgotten
the Butcher's face?
He's the one
who tortured me for three days?
He...
He is a best friend
of both me and my husband!
Is that you
who torch those three men at
the wholesale market two nights ago?
Did you chop Lau up
and toss him into the sewers?
Did you toss the Three Tigers
onto Temple Street?
Did you commit all these murders?
Why did you turn this bad?
Why have you become a psycho?
I want people to know
that my father isn't insane,
but the Chosen Sleuth!
Lynn Cheung,
the real name is Lynn Lee,
who took her mother's last name
out of spite for her father.
In and out of the reformatory
since you were 14,
and being arrested
for burning a police vehicle at 24.
That's when you met Chu and Lai,
and knowing they were
son of Chun Chi-to
and daughter of Sheh Keung.
So you showed them your father's
writings under the bridge,
and recruited them to the Sleuths
to be vigilantes!
You can't possibly see her!
Of course I can't!
I don't know if you're really insane
or just pretending.
But Auyeung was taken
after you suspected him.
Devil Cop and Butcher
are the next cases!
Where are you keeping Auyeung?
I didn't mean that Auyeung related
to the Devil Cop nor the Butcher,
I just said his methods are fishy
and never said he's the killer!
Those Sleuths twisted
the words I wrote.
You are the Chosen Sleuths!
The force didn't want you,
so you felt undermined!
You pretend to be wronged
and righteous,
but you're just disgruntled.
You fooled those kids into revenge,
so that you can somehow cracked
the cases to be the Chosen Sleuth!
I didn't!
Even if you didn't,
your daughter
is the prime suspect for sure.
She got Chu and Lai
to instigate the victims' families
in the name of revenge.
They brainwashed the others
into committing murders
and they believe they're doing
the right thing!
You taught your daughter
to not become a monster
while fighting them.
But you're one now,
and so as your daughter!
The most wicked criminals
in Hong Kong's history!
Chu's computer has a virus,
those Sleuths are hacking us!
Inspector Fong, look!
Someone's hacking
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau!
I'm Superintendent Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau.
The truth is that I'm the Butcher.
Whoever battles monsters...
I'm the Devil Cop.
I moved the corpses
and framed Mr Sheh Keung.
The Devil Cop Case
happened 17 years ago tonight.
I killed him during the arrest.
We're out of time,
let me go after them!
If you're really
Mentally Incapacitated,
you will go to the Psychiatric ward
for the rest of your life.
If you're pretending,
you're going to the slammer then!
Take him to the holding cell!
In the alleyway in Kwun Tong,
I killed Policeman Chit...
The Devil Cop Case
happened 17 years ago tonight,
so they'll strike
at the same time, 1 am.
Locate them right away!
Yes, madam!
The truth is that
I'm the Butcher.
I'm the Devil Cop.
I'm Superintendent Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau...
Take my car and go home.
It can't be Auyeung.
- Go home.
- No, listen to me...
- Just go home first.
- It's impossible.
- Go home!
- It's...
I moved the corpses
and framed Mr Sheh Keung.
I killed him during the arrest.
Wait.
I killed Policeman Choi Tsz-him
and took his gun,
then robbed a securities firm
and killed the guard working there.
In the alleyway in Kwun Tong...
Team A, track the message source.
Team B, call Technology Crime Bureau
for the IP address.
Team C, check the firewall.
Yes, sir!
In the Butcher case 20 years ago,
The one who killed Sheh Keung
on the spot
just confessed to be the Butcher,
Sleuth Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau.
Sheh Keung is mentally handicapped,
who said that he was framed
before his death.
Auyeung isn't the Devil Cop
nor the Butcher!
I have to stop my daughter!
I misled them to Auyeung,
I can't let them kill Auyeung!
Auyeung is your friend,
they're executing Auyeung at 1 am!
There's no time!
Let me in, open the door!
Stop!
Freeze!
- Stop!
- Freeze!
Stop the car!
Stay where you are!
He's in a car, plate number HB9518.
They're going up!
And pinned it on Chun,
the Emergency Unit driver...
Can Auyeung be the Butcher
and the Devil Cop?
If Keung can be framed,
so can Auyeung.
Jun swiped a gun
and fled to the parking garage!
I'm Superintendent Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau...
Stop the car!
Stop!
Jun really is the leader
of those Sleuths!
And so do your wife!
Uncuff me!
We have two hours
to solve two huge cases
and save Auyeung from those Sleuths!
"Shun"
Set up roadblocks!
Call the Technology Crime Division
to track their GPS!
Multiple media outlets
received the video
of Sleuth Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
confessing to two major cases.
The city is in shock.
I looked at
3,000 missing person cases.
The Butcher killed
at least 30 girls.
A college girl
is the only one that got away,
and her identity is confidential.
I've been looking for 20 years,
how can I find her now?
Where was she found
by the police 20 years ago?
Tai Kei Leng Village, Yuen Long!
The Butcher killed 30 girls?
But they only dug up five corpses
on Keung's land.
Five's enough to frame Sheh Keung!
Just like framing Chun Tse-to
as the Devil Cop
by giving him a rusty gun!
Why are you so sure
that Chun was innocent?
His shoelaces
weren't tied the same way,
the left shoe
was even tied in reverse.
After switching the guns,
the killer was mean to leave.
But he saw Chun's shoe had slipped,
so he did one more thing.
He put it back on Chun and tied it
with the Ian Knot.
I looked at all of Chun's photos,
he never used that knot!
"Turning off the GPS"
"Are you sure to turn off?"
She's offline.
Last seen on North Bridge
moving towards the west.
"No signal"
I moved the corpses
and framed Mr Sheh Keung.
Turn up the volume.
To the maximum!
I killed Policeman Choi Tsz-him
and took his gun...
Waves and ship horn.
And heavy machinery noises.
The Tai Kei Leng nullah!
You've been here a million times,
why would there be a miracle now?
I'm that college student.
I fled East Village
when Fong saved me.
I have the victim
at Tai Kei Leng nullah,
between the two villages!
Miss!
I'm a police officer!
The Butcher kidnapped me
and tortured me for three days,
I really thought
that I was going to die.
Can I see your scars?
Any more?
Scars covered by clothing,
a sign of domestic abuse.
They must've been violent
and insidious as well.
Dual personalities,
one male and one female.
The Butcher took the pain
he received from his loved ones
and copied it onto you.
Fong's a good man,
he didn't mind my scars.
He visited me after work every day
to help me remember what happened.
I want to help you catch him,
what do you remember?
He hit me especially hard
on the third day,
I felt he was going to kill me.
But he suddenly got a call.
I picked up a tile
and kept grinding the rope...
I have to remember the path.
I have to get him.
Sounds of water on both sides
and a bridge at the front door.
On the 29th step down,
I heard pinwheels.
A turn,
then another 38 steps down.
There's a narrow staircase
further down,
lots of tiny shelled nuts
on the ground.
Why didn't he kill you?
What was the call about?
Who called him?
"Ian knot"
Who tied your shoelaces?
Fong did.
I have the victim
at Tai Kei Leng nullah,
between the two villages!
Miss!
I'm a police officer.
He turned you around by 180 degrees!
Can you tell me what happened?
What's going on, Fong?
She came from East Village.
The Butcher's hideout must be there,
sweep the East Village completely!
You came from West Village,
not East!
He fooled the police.
I'm amazing,
I find the Devil Cop
while I am after the Butcher Case!
Jun!
Dispatch called
and ordered everyone
to search Tai Keng Leng Village.
I was on patrol here,
then I saw you came down
from East Village.
Narrow staircase,
small nuts on the ground.
Nuts on the ground!
Narrow staircase!
10, 11, 12, 13...
28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38!
Then a turn.
Pinwheels, turn left.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10...
Sounds of water left and right,
a small bridge at the front door!
My red scarf!
Sounds of water on both sides
and a bridge at the front door.
Patty Wong.
Hilary Yeung.
Lily Chiu.
Bowie Cheung.
Chow Lok-yee.
He killed so many girls...
Wylie Au.
May Lau.
Chung Lai-fong.
Chiang Chun-chun.
Cindy Choi.
Moon Ho.
Keung didn't kill anyone!
He didn't kill no one!
Don't frame Keung!
Keung didn't kill no one!
He didn't kill no girl!
- Put the kid down first.
- Put down the kid.
- Put the kid down!
- Put down the kid!
The 25 dead women are all here,
This is the real Butcher's hideout!
You got Keung killed!
That call was from Dispatch!
Fong Lai-shun,
the college girl's phone
was detected at Tai Kei Leng.
All leaves are canceled.
Sweep both villages in Tai Kei Leng.
He let you go on purpose.
By turning the police to
ast Village, so he could get away.
Oh, no...
He led me here
so my prints would be everywhere,
and he scattered cigars I've smoked.
Your shoelaces were the trap,
so that he can
led me here to frame me!
How evil, how chilling...
He picked up the cigar a decade ago
to set me up today.
Your husband is terrifying.
Jun!
Jun!
Fong is the Butcher and Devil Cop!
Back to Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau, expose him to Yan!
Fong can't be both Butcher
and Devil Cop.
Is it a mistake?
Does he have scars all over
that covered by clothes?
He was abused by his family
as a child!
One is a woman, his mother!
She was an alcoholic
who sliced him with a cutter
when she's drunk.
And his older brother beat him
with a hammer just like his mother.
Fong's been abused too,
that's why he understands me.
Are they both dead?
His mother was robbed and killed
by a junkie when he was 16.
Then his brother was killed
in a hit and run.
Killed his mother
and pinned it on a junkie!
And no one expects a 16-year-old
to steal a car to kill his brother!
You really are insane.
But Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
will arrest you!
Your prints and cigars are in there!
It looks like your hideout,
not Fong's.
You always call yourself
the Chosen Sleuth,
now her husband's got you.
You've stepped in deep trouble,
and don't even know
where Auyeung is.
"Unified Dockyard, Tsing Yi"
This isn't the car
that you drove yesterday.
Whose is it?
Your husband's.
Why would her husband keep visiting
an abandoned dockyard?
Your daughter
is about to kill Auyeung!
Forget it, just get there first!
"Updated news"
"Missing Superintendent Auyeung Kim
now confessed and turn himself in"
"No signal"
Inspector Fong,
your car's GPS is back on!
Heading down the South Bridge,
they're on Dockyard Road now.
Unified Dockyards!
Call in Special Weapons
and Tactics team!
Call the Deputy Commissioner
of Operation for approval!
This is Fong Lai-shun from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau.
We believe that
Superintendent Auyeung Kim
is being held at Unified Dockyards,
we need Special Weapons and Tactics
team deployed as soon as possible.
Dee, Ma, Cat!
Chau, Cream, Snake!
Take these to the afterlife!
You won't die in vain, brothers!
I'm sorry, Dad!
You'd been wronged
for so many years!
Dad, the world now knows
you're not the Devil Cop!
I'll kill Auyeung Kim
right now as tribute to you!
Are you all disobeying orders?
I told you on the phone,
my dad said that
Auyeung isn't the Butcher!
Shouldn't we stop
and clear things up first?
You were there
when Chu and I searched his place.
We found the clothing
and the loader.
How can he be innocent?
Whenever you lead an operation,
Jun shows up in time.
Are you two in cahoots?
If it wasn't for him,
our guys wouldn't have died!
He's always on our tail,
there must be a mole between us!
Is your dad that talented
or something?
He is!
His ability isn't news to you!
You've known this all along,
why doubting his talents now?
How dare you call him insane
and even fire at him!
How could you get revenge
without him?
Those Sleuths are up there.
Your husband knows
those Sleuths are here.
How would her husband know?
Forget it, find Auyeung first!
About the Butcher's hideout
in West Village,
we found 25 sets of bones,
cash box from the securities firm,
Lee Jun's old warrant card
and Cohina cigar butts.
That was the brand Jun used to have.
I suspect that Jun has
Multiple Personality Disorder,
he has at least three personalities
inside him.
The righteous Chosen Sleuth...
Why did you turn this bad?
The Butcher...
"He's The Butcher, so he knew
Yee was the survivor all this time."
Therefore he found her
and groomed her to be a Sleuth.
He's also The Devil Cop.
That's why he knew 17 years ago
that Chun Tze-to was being framed.
There was a fourth person
at the scene!
There was a fourth person
on the scene, it was a setup!
The Sleuth personality
wanted to prove himself,
but then both Auyeung and I
shot at him.
So his Butcher and Devil Cop
set up Auyeung as a target
His next targets
probably are you and me.
Auyeung's here!
Cover me!
That insane is down there!
Your dad even found us here?
You're the mole!
Call Yan.
Tell her that
your best friend Fong Lai-shun
is the Butcher and Devil Cop!
I'm Auyueng from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau,
I'm really the Butcher
and Devil Cop...
Stop that!
This is serious!
Tell Yan to stop posing.
No one believes me,
so you have to make it out,
don't die!
Don't die, make it out alive...
Don't kill Auyeung, I was wrong!
I misled you all
by saying that Auyeung is fishy.
His partner is the fishy one,
that Fong Lai-shun!
He's the Devil Cop and Butcher!
Yeung Lai,
he led Auyeung to East Village.
He buried the bodies
to frame your dad
and made Auyeung shoot him.
Chu, he misled Auyeung
so Auyeung tell Yan
that your dad's the Devil Cop.
He knows that your hideout's here,
so he is definitely calling in
Special Weapons And Tactics Team.
Don't kill Auyeung!
Surrender and you may survive this!
Trust me, okay?
No one believes me,
everyone's crazy!
I'll kill you all!
The three of you killed our friends!
I'll kill you all!
My water broke...
Over there!
We have to get revenge
for our friends!
I'm here to save you, wake up!
The hostage
is Superintendent Auyeung.
The prime suspects
are Lee Jun, his daughter,
Chai Ka-chu, Yeung Lai and Chan Yee.
Chan Yee is 32 weeks pregnant.
Our mission is rescue and arrest.
Yes, sir!
The Special Weapons and Tactics team
is here!
Fire!
The Sleuths have explosives!
Special Weapons and Tactics team,
shoot to kill!
The targets have
improvised explosive devices!
Shoot to kill!
Yee's pregnant.
They're terrorists!
All units, shoot to kill!
Multi targets,
300 meters at 12 o'clock!
Target,
200 meters at 12 o'clock!
They fell for the trap!
Fong knows the Sleuths are here
because he's their leader.
He saw my notes under the bridge,
I was close
to solving the two cases.
He was so scared and excited
that he turned my daughter
into a Sleuth
and made her get those kids to kill.
He laid a trap at that shack
to make me the Butcher,
Devil Cop and Sleuths.
He framed me!
He didn't expect me to meet you,
and I was close to exposing him.
But the fear excited him even more,
he decided to risk it all.
He tied your shoelaces,
led me to the docks,
called in SWAT to kill everyone!
After tonight,
either I'll be the Chosen Sleuth
and he'll be the Psychopath,
or I'll be the Psychopath
and he'll be the Chosen Sleuth!
You really are insane!
Fong is the kindest,
most righteous...
The wolf loves sheep's clothing!
The evil always seems so kind!
The devil loves to play the angel!
I can be the witness,
Fong really is in the Sleuths.
He's our leader.
Where's Auyeung?
He fled on a boat,
but we blew him up.
What about Lee Jun,
Lynn and my wife?
They're in that old boat.
And our guys?
Special Weapons And Tactics team
sent us scattering.
I didn't think Lee Jun
would be after us like this,
let's find our guys
and fight the way out.
You know where Butcher's hideout is,
and your stuff
was all over the place,
you're most likely the Butcher!
Even if Fong is a Sleuth,
it's all because he loves me.
He loves you?
Snap out of it!
Psychopaths
have no empathy
or any shred of love!
He married you,
so that he can see you every morning
and remember
how he killed those girls!
Now, Auyeung's dead.
You're the sole survivor,
the last hope!
Which one of us is the Butcher?
Use your brain, West Kowloon Sleuth!
Dad,
the baby's shoulders are stuck!
Prop the baby's head up.
Push!
Push.
You've done great the past two days,
it's Jun's fault
that we're being raided.
But for our late guys,
we can't give up!
I've taught you how to fight against
Special Weapons And Tactics team.
This is our turf,
we still have a chance.
Each of you take a grenade.
If you're cornered,
use it to help the others escape.
Regardless of who gets out tonight,
I'm proud of all of you.
Remember.
We're Sleuths!
Targets are sinking the dock!
Special Weapons And Tactics team,
fall back!
Boat team, enter the dock!
I'll stay,
go find your little brother.
Help, brother!
I don't want to die!
Help me, Brother!
Farewell, my friends!
Lee Jun, you fool!
You demon!
We couldn't get away after all.
Getting revenge for my father
was worth it all.
Boss.
Did you kill Lee Jun?
I'm the Devil Cop.
I'm the Butcher.
Dad!
Dad!
"Reborn in pure land"
Join the police when you grow up,
we'll catch
the real killer together.
Inspector Chai Ka-chu,
reporting for duty!
The wife did it, arrest her!
Yes, sir!
Yeung Lai.
Her father was Sheh Keung.
Auyeung used to tie his shoelaces
with the Ian Knot.
But he changed it after he shot Jun
at the press con.
Jun was truly the Chosen Sleuth,
he knew that Auyeung's Devil Cop
and Butcher long ago.
How dare he tortured my wife!
Lau killed 21 women,
but we can't charge him
because he has Parkinson's.
They burn people alive
for inheritance!
These three killed a whole family
and become leaders of the gang!
Over 100 cold cases here,
and Jun solved them all!
The answers are all here,
but everyone dimissed him as insane.
We have to get justice
and show the world
that Jun is the Chosen Sleuth.
The sleuth has a daughter,
she thinks her father's a nut.
A real rebel.
Do you hate the police
because you hate your dad?
Or do you hate the police
because of how they treated him?
He's insane, not a police, okay?
Have you considered
that he's not insane?
He's actually the Chosen Sleuth.
He's solved many cold cases
and botched investigations.
Even if no one believes him, we do.
You're his daughter,
so lead us.
Dad, are we going to die?
No!
I just got my daughter back today.
If I live through this,
I'll expose Fong.
I don't want this
to be another botched case.
Good!
I'll tell the whole world
that how Fong taught
Chu, Lai and I to line up
the families of cold case victims.
He trained us, armed us,
taught us how to brainwash them
and drive them to kill.
Dad.
I'm proud of you.
Good.
Come out!
Come out, little baby!
Come out!
Come out, little baby!
Baby!
Come on!
Hurry!
Let's go!
Run!
You insane!
You're a genius
who wasted your life!
Let me give you
the death you deserve!
After tonight,
you'll become me and I'll be you!
You'll be the Psychopath,
and I'll be the Chosen Sleuth!
You want to be me,
but I don't want to be you!
Your mother turned you into a demon!
For your own son,
just become human again!
Surrender!
It's not too late!
How can you kill your son?
Jun, let's swap!
I'll kill your daughter,
and you kill my son!
You'll die very soon,
known by all as a wicked criminal.
Aren't you mad
that you ended up like this?
If you can't kill me, kill my son.
Otherwise,
you won't get your revenge!
Kill the kid,
and you become a demon!
Everyone can become a demon!
Why not me?
I'm human, too.
If he can kill my daughter,
then I can kill his son!
All because of her
that you can't become a demon,
she's proud of you.
Dad.
I'm proud of you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It is so painful for you
to see your daughter being killed.
And I'd like to know
whether I'd be in pain as well
if my son dies.
You can't even do me a simple favor?
You really are insane.
Farewell, Sleuth!
Fong Lai-shun!
You're the Butcher,
Devil Cop and Sleuths!
You're also my husband
and our baby's father!
Turn yourself in!
Why don't you ask me
if my love for you is for real?
Don't you want to know
if I've ever loved you?
I did!
Very much!
You're my proudest work of life!
If you hadn't met Lee Jun
and nearly exposed me,
I wouldn't have thought of
killing you.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, my girl.
Madam!
It's Superintendent Auyeung!
Don't die.
Make it out alive...
Auyeung!
Lee Jun saved me.
Fong is the Butcher and Devil Cop.
He fed me the clues
to the two cases.
I met him
while investigating
his mother and brother's deaths.
Come to think of it,
their deaths seemed fishy, too.
Play that footage again!
Zoom into the right hand.
Show me footage of Jun's arrest!
Jun's bandage was on his left hand
and Fong's is on his right.
That murderer is Fong!
Call in the Flying Service
for backup!
Did you see it?
See what?
The demon!
I did.
Chief Inspector Chan Yee,
reporting for duty.
Where's your partner?
I offered a ride,
but he said he has his own.
Investigative Consultant Lee Jun,
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau.
Be humble when we're on a case.
You're not idiots,
and I'm not the Chosen Sleuth!
It is wrong
to consider oneself as infallible,
it is evil
to regard oneself as righteous.
We're never being chosen,
but just sleuths.
All we need for investigating
is just doing our best
and keep asking ourselves
if there's any stone left unturned.
Remember this!
There is no Chosen Sleuth among us.
Understand?
Yes, sir!
I wrote all the names
over a hundred murderers.
Now, I'm very worried.
- Detective Lee.
- No one can go home.
Please come with me.
No seeing family.
- Park Detective Lee's ride.
- No dates!
- No ballgames!
- Alright.
No Karaoke!
No gaming!
No movies!
No television.
Here's your seat, Detective.
- Help yourself.
- No seeing friends.
We're going back to work.
"A good mother
was being robbed and killed"
"Her 13-year-old son captures
the murderer who is a junkie"
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure that he does not become one.
"A nice brother
wad killed in hit-and-run"
"A poor teen losing his brother
after the mother died 6 months ago."
When you look long into the abyss,
the abyss also looks into you.
"The Sleuth is so into his job,
his melancholic wife killed herself"
Which does not kill me
makes me stronger.
Sounds of water on both sides
and a bridge at the front door.
On the 29th step down,
I heard pinwheels.
A turn,
then another 38 steps down.
There's a narrow staircase
further down,
lots of tiny shelled nuts
on the ground.
"The Butcher Case"
I have to remember the path.
I have to catch him.
I have the victim
at Tai Kei Leng nullah,
between the two villages!
Miss!
I'm a police officer.
Keung didn't kill anyone!
He didn't kill no one!
Keung was framed!
Keung didn't kill no one!
Put the sickle down!
Keung didn't kill anyone!
Stop framing Keung!
Keung didn't kill anyone!
I'm Auyeung from Yuen Long
Criminal Investigation Department!
Put that knife down
and let the kid go!
Put that knife down
and let the kid go!
I didn't klll no one!
Put the kid down.
Put down the kid.
- Put the kid down!
- Put down the kid.
Dad!
- Dad!
- It is okay now...
"Four years later"
"The Devil Cop Case"
Guess what?
My twin boys got
into their first-choice schools,
my wife is over the moon!
My son only got
his 7th preference back then,
which is in Tin Shui Wai.
I was exhausted school-hopping
for open slots.
Cheng Kai-ming,
did you raise Dispatch?
Is it an emergency?
Are you under attack?
Leung Chit, what's wrong?
Are you under attack?
Hang in there, Ming!
Pupil dilated, he's in Category 1.
Ming, can you tell me what happened?
One, two, three!
I was hurt worse 4 years ago,
it'll be okay!
Chit, is he the one that shot you?
One, two, three!
Don't go to sleep, Chit!
He's one of us,
I found a warrant card on him.
I am Fong Lai-shun
from the Kwun Tong Crime Squad.
Why'd you shoot your own fellows?
- Yee, where's your boyfriend?
- In there.
Shun, what happened?
He's one of us,
Emergency Unit driver in Tsuen Wan.
Remember the Tai Fat Securities
heist with the murdered guard?
The perpetrator was never caught,
the gun in the robbery
was stolen from a policeman
who was murdered two years prior.
CCTV showed the robber had
white sneakers with red shoelaces.
One, two, three!
He's holding a rusted point 38,
the serial number
matches that stolen gun.
How dare you kill your own fellow,
you murderer!
You already killed a policeman,
now you've killed two more!
Are you doing that
for another heist?
Settle down!
The Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
is here!
- Yan.
- What happened, Auyeung?
The guy that just got carted out
is a police as well.
He killed a policeman two years ago
at North Point and stole his gun,
then killed a guard
of Tai Fat Securities with it...
On the night of the 4th at 1 am,
two policemen, Leung and Cheng,
exchanged fire with a suspect
in an alleyway at Kwun Tong.
"Hate"
Three were pronounced dead
at the hospital.
Two years ago in North Point,
a similar case occurred.
Policeman Choi Tsz-him
was ambushed and killed
by an assailant.
Hey, I'm your daughter,
not a suspect!
I hate you!
An inspection
by our firearms forensics team
confirmed that the murder weapon
was the late Policeman Choi's
missing gun.
We have confirmed
that the suspect is
Chun Chi-to, a Emergency Unit driver
who worked in Tsuen Wan.
Shame!
Yan, you idiot!
Posing at a crime scene
doesn't make you a detective!
Stop right there!
Detective Lee, you're on suspension!
- You can get in...
- Get out on my way!
- Detective Lee...
- Get off!
Commissioner,
can you confirm there
were only 3 men at the crime scene?
Do you agree
that Chun Chi-to is The Devil Cop?
Yes.
No!
Detective Lee, stop!
You're all wrong!
How dare you call your fellow
as The Devil Cop!
You should be transferred to
the boondocks for incompetence!
Lee Jun!
Detective Lee, don't!
The victim isn't the perpetrator,
just go back to school, you fool!
Detective Lee...
Chun wasn't the perpetrator,
there was a fourth person
at the scene!
Chun Chi-to was snatched
when he left work,
the killer dragged him to Kwun Tong.
He shoved a gun in Chun's mouth
and hid in the alleyway.
Leung Chit was being shot
in the head!
Cheng Kai-ming was being shot
in the mouth!
2 hits with 5 shots!
At the T-intersection.
3 hits with 6 shots!
Leung Chit was shot!
Cheng Kai-ming as well,
hit in the chest.
Finally...
The killer shoots Chun in the mouth,
then shoves the gun in his hand.
The stolen money was in his locker
with Tai Fat Securities' cash box.
He was framed!
Just like the Butcher Case
4 years ago!
The evidence was planted!
You got evidence, but no witness!
The suspects were killed
on the scene!
Investigate Senior Inspector Auyeung
who was in charge of both cases,
he's very fishy!
His methods are fishy!
I'm not the fishy one,
but your mental health are!
The Butcher Case was botched!
The Devil Cop Case was botched!
They died in vain
and left their families behind!
Trust me, I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
I've never been wrong before,
I solve every case!
Trust me, I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
I'm never wrong.
I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
"Seventeen years later"
"The Chosen Sleuths Case"
Dad, Mom!
I finally got revenge for you!
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting!
Let's split!
Madam, the Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau is here.
What happened, honey?
There was another torched corpse
case here 20 years ago,
the victims were the married owners
of this wholesale market.
The methods were pretty brutal,
so Crime Squad thought
it was over a debt
or a triad turf dispute.
But no one was charged in the end.
These three
are the owner's older brothers.
They took over the business then,
who sold it five years later
and split the cash.
No one ever suspected them.
So someone thinks the victims
killed the market owners
then used the same methods
to get justice.
These are our case numbers,
the perpetrator
must have police connections.
Eight sets of handwriting,
so at least a dozen suspects.
21 cases numbers in total,
19 of them is about missing persons,
2 are dead body being found.
All female victims.
So their next target
is a serial killer.
Leaving a sneak preview
at the crime scene.
With a precise name.
Spread out!
"The Chosen Sleuths"
The characters are formed
with 21 case numbers,
which are all from missing women
and dead body being found cases.
Their next target
may be a serial killer.
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one.
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Chosen Sleuth!
Help me!
Someone's killing in your name!
Help me!
I'm their next target, Sleuth!
Who are you?
It's me,
the psychopath who killed 21 girls!
I go berserk when it rains!
You must remember me, you're
the only one who suspected me!
The night shift cabbie in Kowloon,
Lau Kwok-wan!
I killed all female passengers!
The flight attendant, student,
restaurant receptionist
and lounge hostess!
I chopped them
and tossed them into the sewer!
You even gave me
an awesome nickname,
The Rainy Night Monster!
I don't save fool.
Whether I am or not,
you still have to save me!
Why should I?
I may be a fool, but I'm human too!
How dare they call themselves
The Chosen Sleuths!
How dare they leave case numbers
after killing,
and preview for the next murder!
They're openly challenging
the police!
Auyeung!
Out of 21 cases,
19 are missing women
and the other two victims' remains
was being washed up in the harbor.
A serial murder
needs 3 linked cases,
so the Organised Crime and
Triad Bureau wasn't called on it.
That's how the psychopath got away.
The cases cover a long period
from 1985 to 1993.
The disappearances all happened
at night from 22:30 onwards,
a school girl goes missing
after a school banquet.
Latest one was at 04:00,
an lounge hostess
went missing after work.
They all had different backgrounds.
Nightclub hostess,
office worker, flight attendant
and newspaper editor...
14 cases in Kowloon
and 5 in New Territories,
none on Hong Kong Island.
It's such a wide area,
the perpetrator must've had a car.
No report of forced abductions,
so the women got
in the car voluntarily.
It must be a night shift taxi
in Kowloon.
Call the Taxi Drivers Association,
and ask for drivers in 1993
who stopped driving
for illness or jail.
Where are you going?
My taxi firm is on Fa Yuen Street!
Because of having Parkinson's,
you quit in 1993!
Oh, right...
My sanitorium is on Bute Street!
On Bute Street!
Those Sleuths must've
followed your mode of operation
and killed you on a rainy night.
It was pouring last night,
I'm sure that
you're in the sewers already.
Let's collect your corpse!
No, Sleuth!
I don't want to die!
Hurry, Sleuth! Step on it!
3 days ago at Tung Wah Hospital,
a Parkinson's patient
was reported missing.
Lau Kwok-wan, diagnosed in 1993
who claimed to be a taxi driver
in Kowloon.
Oh, no!
I've really croaked!
Marine Police
just got a report 2 minutes ago,
about a floating corpse
in Tsuen Wan.
It's cut in half!
YMT as Yau Ma Tai Precinct,
and starting with RN9
means that's in the 90s.
That's an entire decade, which one?
I'll know
when I find your bottom half.
Where is it?
Where did you dump your corpses?
In Nai Chung!
I dumped corpses in Nai Chung,
so those Sleuths
must've dumped me there!
I'll start looking in Nai Chung!
You have to catch these Sleuths,
to show your daughter that you're
not insane, but the Chosen Sleuth!
Go, Sleuth!
Your father isn't insane,
he's the Chosen Sleuth...
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
is on the scene.
That's only half the case number,
a case of Organised Crime and Triad
Bureau at Yau Ma Tei in the 90s.
Ask Marine Police to find the rest,
and send 4 teams to Yau Ma Tei
to investigate on it.
Someone filmed this psychotic
recovering the corpse,
it looks like Lee Jun.
Jun, that psychotic.
Order all policemen
to capture him on sight.
Yes, sir!
I'm not insane,
I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
I'm not insane,
I'm the Chosen Sleuth!
Every serial killer has a trigger,
what was his?
Thunder and rain!
Helen Yau, three consecutive days
of squally weather!
Sandy Yim,
a whole week of pouring rain!
Mandy Kong, black rainstorm warning!
Is there a sewage outfall
where the half-corpse was found?
Yes.
Call Drainage Services for maps,
the other half may be in the sewers.
Copy!
Stop!
Jump!
I'll die!
Don't you want to see your daughter?
I really do!
Then jump!
I'll jump!
Jump, man!
Let people know that
you're Sleuth, not insane.
Then your daughter will come back.
- I'm jumping!
- What are you doing there, sir?
The Chosen Sleuth is working.
Lee Jun,
Serious and Botched Cases Bureau!
Back off, West Kowloon fools!
How did you know
we're from West Kowloon?
Number 39633, Chan Yee!
Dubbed the "Lady Sleuth
of West Kowloon"!
A relentless investigator, like me.
But you messed up
at the Devil Cop case,
you suspected Chun!
You were duped by the real killer!
Can you tell me
what case you're working on?
20 years ago, a taxi driver
killed women on rainy nights
and dumped the bodies here.
So those Sleuths cut him in two
and dumped him here.
His top half washed up in Tsuen Wan.
I only found the precinct code
of Yau Ma Tai on it.
The rest of the case number
is on the bottom half
which got stuck in this sewer now!
The psychotic has been washed away!
Go west along the On Lok Road,
there's an open-air nullah near the
junction beside Hing Fook Building.
Lee Jun, former Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau Chief Inspector.
A year after his melancholic wife
commit suicide, he then discharged.
That year, he went on board
of a refugee boat with Wong Yan,
investigating a murde case.
He claimed that he saw a demon.
Why were you standing there?
That was a demon!
What demon?
It's as big as a person!
Posing at a crime scene
isn't working.
Were you blind?
Yan and the others
only saw Jun firing at air.
Fire Department searched for days
and found nothing.
The doctor diagnosed him
with acute paranoia,
who was then being transferred
and disarmed.
He then overstepped his bounds,
hoarded cases,
accused others
of botching investigations.
He became a pariah.
For pulling a gun
at the Devil Cop press conference,
he got discharged and being sent
to the Psych Center for 5 years.
The doctor said he suffered
from hallucinations.
He says there's an Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau squad in his brain
and that he sees
perpetrators confessing to him.
After the release,
He was involved in 19 cases
of Mentally Incapacitated Person.
He set himself on fire
at a wholesale market,
second-degree burn and said that he
was only on the Torched Corpse Case.
He jumped into a nullah
at On Lok Road,
and it took three squads
of firefighters to save him.
He said that he was
after the Rainy Night Monster.
Lee Jun is a legend
in the police force,
his nickname was The Chosen Sleuth.
He's investigated
both cases we have,
he may be connected
to these Sleuths cases.
The second half is 7103843!
The Flying Corpses Case!
In Yau Ma Tei, the Three Tigers
threw a family off a building
on Temple Street.
So those Sleuths
are about to do the same
to them tonight!
Get in the car!
Can't you see it's full?
Take another car!
Don't be a cop if you're blind,
idiot!
Cissy, call it in
and watch the corpse.
Yes, madam!
We're off to Temple Street!
- Yes, madam!
- Got it.
We're about to die.
Step on it, idiot!
Those three sitting in the back
killed a whole family only because
they couldn't reclaim a flat.
We didn't do it ourselves,
but our men!
It took us 8 years
to reclaim the street,
that family was the only one
holding out.
Then the financial crisis hit...
We lost a fortune!
The whole family deserved to die!
We didn't kill them all,
we spared the son!
You didn't spare him,
but he was hiding under the bed!
You lowlives!
You are right,
but you still have to save us!
So hurry up, you idiot!
Call me Detective!
I'd just let you die
if I wasn't a police!
You're not a police anymore,
you don't have to be so into it.
I am a police!
Once a police, always a police!
Before I solve all the cases
and catch all the perpetrators,
no one can fire me!
The police force needs me!
Show me your ID cards...
Yeung Lai,
Temple Street Flying Corpses case.
Copy.
Temple Street.
- Team C go with Lai!
- Yes, sir!
- Both cars of Team B come with me!
- Copy that!
Beg, beg my family for forgiveness!
Beg!
The Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau is here.
Toss them.
We were wrong, we'll pay!
- Anything you want!
- How dare you!
Yee Hing gang has 30,000 members...
- We're not going to make it!
- Hurry!
You and you, back stairs with me!
You three, front stairs.
You four, lift lobby!
Put on your vests!
To kidnapp and toss these 3 men,
the Sleuths needs at least
a dozen people.
They must be armed too,
get ready for open fire!
Open fire!
Police!
Don't follow me, you pregnant!
Go!
Run!
Run!
The next case, Aberdeen Typhoon
Shelter Human Soup case!
Move!
It's dangerous, you pregnant!
Police!
Go!
Stop following me, get off!
Put the gun down!
Police on duty, out of the way!
Fong, it's Yee!
Out of the way!
Freeze!
He's Lee Jun,
not one of those Sleuths.
He led us to the Sleuths...
Are you okay?
The baby's okay.
Let that mentally-incapacitated go.
The baby says it's okay.
How fierce!
It even cheered me on.
This is Superintendent Auyeung,
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau!
Put down your guns!
We just want revenge,
we don't want to hurt anyone else!
Step aside,
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau!
Run!
Are you insane?
That's Lee Jun!
He brought those police there,
and got our guys killed!
He's not a nut!
He's "The Chosen Sleuth"!
- Sleuth!
- We are guilty!
96076888, we did it!
- That's Baldie, I'm Fishmonger!
- Yes!
In 1996, Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter
Human Soup Case!
- That's right!
- Shut up, you two!
Why didn't the girl
let them shoot me?
Find me and you'll find the girl!
Come to Tuen Mun,
I'm in Sam Shing Estate!
Forget him, he's too far away!
I am just nearby,
I operate a lorry in Yau Ma Tei,
- Come save me first!
- Shut up!
I beg you!
I'm dead meat,
they're going to cook me!
Please save me!
I'm a fool,
but I don't want to be soup!
Please, I beg you...
I pray that you solve every case!
"Chow Fook-lai"
"Ian Knot"
"Both shoes are in different knots"
Get this to
the Technical Services Division
and see what's in the tape.
Yes, sir.
We killed six perpetrators
at Temple Street last night,
and two other perpetrators
are in a coma.
The one in the lobby
is the kid whose family was killed
by the Tigers.
The two in the stairwell
are two of the missing women's sons.
One of the two perpetrators
who was killed on the 8th floor
is the son of
the 1994 Torched Corpses victims.
So these killings aren't random,
the victims' families
are taking revenge as a team.
The next case number is
the Typhoon Shelter Human Soup Case,
check on the families
of the victims!
"Typhoon Shelter Human Soup Case"
"Into nine pieces"
"Kwok Tai-kam"
"Chow Fook-lai, nicknamed Baldie"
"His wife Chiu Hay-mui,
nicknamed Fishmonger"
Take photos and send them to Fong!
Yes, sir!
I got their IDs.
This is Baldie, that is Fishmonger.
The couple lived in Aberdeen
when the Human Soup Case happened.
Baldie now works shady bit jobs
in Tuen Mun,
while Fishmonger operates a lorry
in Yau Ma Tei.
All these cases
are connected to Jun.
Everyone in his notes ends up dead.
Both at the nullah
and Temple Street,
he was first on the scene.
This smells fishy to me,
get a warrant for his arrest!
Move this away.
"Cold Case"
"Suspects were framed"
"Torched Corpses Case"
"Tsang Wing-tim and his wife
were burnt to death"
"Auyeung is fishy"
How dare you keeps calling me fishy!
You're the fishy one!
"Lok Ma Chau

Lee Jun,
Serious and Botched Cases Bureau!
Urgent call for West Kowloon
Crime Squad's Chan Yee...
"No entry"
1:30 pm bus for Panyu, one ticket.
1:30 pm bus for Panyu, nine tickets.
Why didn't you answer?
I'm working, why in a rush?
Haven't you seen the news?
Some Sleuths are murdering people!
I'm running!
Do you think they're really Sleuths?
They won't find us! Grow a pair!
Why are you standing?
You're blocking my view, sit down!
Fortunately, you are lucky.
The baby's heart rate
and fetal position are normal.
But after a fall like that,
you need to stay for observation.
Thank you.
There's some Serious
and Botched Case Bureau
who keeps calling
for Inspector Chan.
Jun, where are you?
Near the border at Lok Ma Chau.
I've been calling all morning!
Baldie from the Human Soup Case
is taking the 1:30 pm bus to Panyu.
Those Sleuths are following him,
they're about to cook him!
Call your husband, Fong,
to get the local division to send in
Special Weapons And Tactics team.
What Baldie? Human Soup Case?
A report came in from Yau Ma Tei
5 minutes ago,
Fishmonger was attacked
on her lorry!
This is Yan Wong.
Jun says he saw those Sleuths
tailing a guy named Baldie,
a suspect in the Human Soup Case.
He's at Lok Ma Chau,
taking the 1:30 pm bus to Panyu.
I'm on the way!
Jun and those Sleuths
are all insanes.
You can't go!
Jun is the key to solving the case!
I just have to!
Yee says Jun spotted Baldie
who is tailed by the Sleuths,
they're taking the 1:30 pm bus
at Lok Ma Chau.
Chu and Lai,
take Teams B and C
to the Typhoon Shelter.
Copy!
- Call Auyeung!
- Yes, madam!
The border area is restricted,
I'll call the Customs
and ask for the Task Force.
So leave your guns.
Customs will intercept
before they reach the border.
They moved so quickly
on Temple Street,
I suspect a mole.
Either in Organised Crime and Triad
Bureau or West Kowloon Crime Squad.
You're alone?
Where's your husband?
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau?
Special Weapons And Tactics Team?
Fong will be here in time!
"Organised Crime and Triad Bureau"
Dispatch said Fishmonger
was attacked by 4 people.
Search the entire shelter!
Superintendent Auyeung!
There's smoke coming from that boat,
it seems like someone is cooking!
Hey, they really cooked her!
Revenge's made them insane!
Turn around!
The female leader isn't here.
Why didn't she fire at you?
Maybe she is the daughter of
Sheh Keung from the Butcher Case.
Dad!
Those Sleuths
must've gone to my hideout
and read my case notes,
that's how they found their targets.
Keung's daughter is the leader.
I wrote that
her father was innocent,
so she didn't kill me.
That case was solved, right?
I've been saying for 20 years,
he was framed!
Sit down!
Auyeung's methods are fishy!
You seem fishy to me, too!
And so does the driver.
She's the female leader
you mentioned.
Where's your daughter?
Is everyone okay?
"Hate"
Excuse me, pardon me!
Chai Ka-chu is the Devil Cop's son!
Yeung Lai is the Butcher's daughter!
Why?
Why is that?
The Butcher Case?
Oh, no!
The Devil Cop Case
has nothing to do with me!
This is Hong Kong Customs!
Put down your weapons,
let the hostage go!
Cook him in the asphalt!
Help me!
Who will you kill
for The Butcher Case?
Is it Auyeung Kim?
I suspected him, but it's not him!
Stop killing!
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Let's go!
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Inspector Fong, Inspector Cheung!
The Butcher Case?
Why is it our case?
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
Stop calling them Sleuths!
Stop turning them into heros!
Leaving case numbers after killing
aren't solving cases, but murder!
Police who have been hurt and killed
are the real heroes.
The Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
and all 30,000 officers
in the Police Force
will do all we can
to stop these criminals
and restore order!
Inspector Fong!
Fong!
We've lost two guys, Yu and So.
Nab them before sunrise
and save Superintendent Auyeung!
Yes, sir!
Madam.
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure he does not become one...
So he was speaking
to his daughter in code?
Jun may be one of those Sleuths,
I'll grill him.
Yee.
Those Sleuths left
the two case numbers
of Butcher and Devil Cop,
and they nabbed Auyeung.
We went to Auyeung's home
to see if they bugged it,
and we found
the speedloader that was missing
in the Devil Cop Case.
And these evidence as well.
"Student ID card
of Lingdong University"
"Chan Yee"
Keung wasn't the Butcher,
but Auyeung?
Have you really forgotten
the Butcher's face?
He's the one
who tortured me for three days?
He...
He is a best friend
of both me and my husband!
Is that you
who torch those three men at
the wholesale market two nights ago?
Did you chop Lau up
and toss him into the sewers?
Did you toss the Three Tigers
onto Temple Street?
Did you commit all these murders?
Why did you turn this bad?
Why have you become a psycho?
I want people to know
that my father isn't insane,
but the Chosen Sleuth!
Lynn Cheung,
the real name is Lynn Lee,
who took her mother's last name
out of spite for her father.
In and out of the reformatory
since you were 14,
and being arrested
for burning a police vehicle at 24.
That's when you met Chu and Lai,
and knowing they were
son of Chun Chi-to
and daughter of Sheh Keung.
So you showed them your father's
writings under the bridge,
and recruited them to the Sleuths
to be vigilantes!
You can't possibly see her!
Of course I can't!
I don't know if you're really insane
or just pretending.
But Auyeung was taken
after you suspected him.
Devil Cop and Butcher
are the next cases!
Where are you keeping Auyeung?
I didn't mean that Auyeung related
to the Devil Cop nor the Butcher,
I just said his methods are fishy
and never said he's the killer!
Those Sleuths twisted
the words I wrote.
You are the Chosen Sleuths!
The force didn't want you,
so you felt undermined!
You pretend to be wronged
and righteous,
but you're just disgruntled.
You fooled those kids into revenge,
so that you can somehow cracked
the cases to be the Chosen Sleuth!
I didn't!
Even if you didn't,
your daughter
is the prime suspect for sure.
She got Chu and Lai
to instigate the victims' families
in the name of revenge.
They brainwashed the others
into committing murders
and they believe they're doing
the right thing!
You taught your daughter
to not become a monster
while fighting them.
But you're one now,
and so as your daughter!
The most wicked criminals
in Hong Kong's history!
Chu's computer has a virus,
those Sleuths are hacking us!
Inspector Fong, look!
Someone's hacking
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau!
I'm Superintendent Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau.
The truth is that I'm the Butcher.
Whoever battles monsters...
I'm the Devil Cop.
I moved the corpses
and framed Mr Sheh Keung.
The Devil Cop Case
happened 17 years ago tonight.
I killed him during the arrest.
We're out of time,
let me go after them!
If you're really
Mentally Incapacitated,
you will go to the Psychiatric ward
for the rest of your life.
If you're pretending,
you're going to the slammer then!
Take him to the holding cell!
In the alleyway in Kwun Tong,
I killed Policeman Chit...
The Devil Cop Case
happened 17 years ago tonight,
so they'll strike
at the same time, 1 am.
Locate them right away!
Yes, madam!
The truth is that
I'm the Butcher.
I'm the Devil Cop.
I'm Superintendent Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau...
Take my car and go home.
It can't be Auyeung.
- Go home.
- No, listen to me...
- Just go home first.
- It's impossible.
- Go home!
- It's...
I moved the corpses
and framed Mr Sheh Keung.
I killed him during the arrest.
Wait.
I killed Policeman Choi Tsz-him
and took his gun,
then robbed a securities firm
and killed the guard working there.
In the alleyway in Kwun Tong...
Team A, track the message source.
Team B, call Technology Crime Bureau
for the IP address.
Team C, check the firewall.
Yes, sir!
In the Butcher case 20 years ago,
The one who killed Sheh Keung
on the spot
just confessed to be the Butcher,
Sleuth Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau.
Sheh Keung is mentally handicapped,
who said that he was framed
before his death.
Auyeung isn't the Devil Cop
nor the Butcher!
I have to stop my daughter!
I misled them to Auyeung,
I can't let them kill Auyeung!
Auyeung is your friend,
they're executing Auyeung at 1 am!
There's no time!
Let me in, open the door!
Stop!
Freeze!
- Stop!
- Freeze!
Stop the car!
Stay where you are!
He's in a car, plate number HB9518.
They're going up!
And pinned it on Chun,
the Emergency Unit driver...
Can Auyeung be the Butcher
and the Devil Cop?
If Keung can be framed,
so can Auyeung.
Jun swiped a gun
and fled to the parking garage!
I'm Superintendent Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau...
Stop the car!
Stop!
Jun really is the leader
of those Sleuths!
And so do your wife!
Uncuff me!
We have two hours
to solve two huge cases
and save Auyeung from those Sleuths!
"Shun"
Set up roadblocks!
Call the Technology Crime Division
to track their GPS!
Multiple media outlets
received the video
of Sleuth Auyeung from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
confessing to two major cases.
The city is in shock.
I looked at
3,000 missing person cases.
The Butcher killed
at least 30 girls.
A college girl
is the only one that got away,
and her identity is confidential.
I've been looking for 20 years,
how can I find her now?
Where was she found
by the police 20 years ago?
Tai Kei Leng Village, Yuen Long!
The Butcher killed 30 girls?
But they only dug up five corpses
on Keung's land.
Five's enough to frame Sheh Keung!
Just like framing Chun Tse-to
as the Devil Cop
by giving him a rusty gun!
Why are you so sure
that Chun was innocent?
His shoelaces
weren't tied the same way,
the left shoe
was even tied in reverse.
After switching the guns,
the killer was mean to leave.
But he saw Chun's shoe had slipped,
so he did one more thing.
He put it back on Chun and tied it
with the Ian Knot.
I looked at all of Chun's photos,
he never used that knot!
"Turning off the GPS"
"Are you sure to turn off?"
She's offline.
Last seen on North Bridge
moving towards the west.
"No signal"
I moved the corpses
and framed Mr Sheh Keung.
Turn up the volume.
To the maximum!
I killed Policeman Choi Tsz-him
and took his gun...
Waves and ship horn.
And heavy machinery noises.
The Tai Kei Leng nullah!
You've been here a million times,
why would there be a miracle now?
I'm that college student.
I fled East Village
when Fong saved me.
I have the victim
at Tai Kei Leng nullah,
between the two villages!
Miss!
I'm a police officer!
The Butcher kidnapped me
and tortured me for three days,
I really thought
that I was going to die.
Can I see your scars?
Any more?
Scars covered by clothing,
a sign of domestic abuse.
They must've been violent
and insidious as well.
Dual personalities,
one male and one female.
The Butcher took the pain
he received from his loved ones
and copied it onto you.
Fong's a good man,
he didn't mind my scars.
He visited me after work every day
to help me remember what happened.
I want to help you catch him,
what do you remember?
He hit me especially hard
on the third day,
I felt he was going to kill me.
But he suddenly got a call.
I picked up a tile
and kept grinding the rope...
I have to remember the path.
I have to get him.
Sounds of water on both sides
and a bridge at the front door.
On the 29th step down,
I heard pinwheels.
A turn,
then another 38 steps down.
There's a narrow staircase
further down,
lots of tiny shelled nuts
on the ground.
Why didn't he kill you?
What was the call about?
Who called him?
"Ian knot"
Who tied your shoelaces?
Fong did.
I have the victim
at Tai Kei Leng nullah,
between the two villages!
Miss!
I'm a police officer.
He turned you around by 180 degrees!
Can you tell me what happened?
What's going on, Fong?
She came from East Village.
The Butcher's hideout must be there,
sweep the East Village completely!
You came from West Village,
not East!
He fooled the police.
I'm amazing,
I find the Devil Cop
while I am after the Butcher Case!
Jun!
Dispatch called
and ordered everyone
to search Tai Keng Leng Village.
I was on patrol here,
then I saw you came down
from East Village.
Narrow staircase,
small nuts on the ground.
Nuts on the ground!
Narrow staircase!
10, 11, 12, 13...
28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38!
Then a turn.
Pinwheels, turn left.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10...
Sounds of water left and right,
a small bridge at the front door!
My red scarf!
Sounds of water on both sides
and a bridge at the front door.
Patty Wong.
Hilary Yeung.
Lily Chiu.
Bowie Cheung.
Chow Lok-yee.
He killed so many girls...
Wylie Au.
May Lau.
Chung Lai-fong.
Chiang Chun-chun.
Cindy Choi.
Moon Ho.
Keung didn't kill anyone!
He didn't kill no one!
Don't frame Keung!
Keung didn't kill no one!
He didn't kill no girl!
- Put the kid down first.
- Put down the kid.
- Put the kid down!
- Put down the kid!
The 25 dead women are all here,
This is the real Butcher's hideout!
You got Keung killed!
That call was from Dispatch!
Fong Lai-shun,
the college girl's phone
was detected at Tai Kei Leng.
All leaves are canceled.
Sweep both villages in Tai Kei Leng.
He let you go on purpose.
By turning the police to
ast Village, so he could get away.
Oh, no...
He led me here
so my prints would be everywhere,
and he scattered cigars I've smoked.
Your shoelaces were the trap,
so that he can
led me here to frame me!
How evil, how chilling...
He picked up the cigar a decade ago
to set me up today.
Your husband is terrifying.
Jun!
Jun!
Fong is the Butcher and Devil Cop!
Back to Organised Crime
and Triad Bureau, expose him to Yan!
Fong can't be both Butcher
and Devil Cop.
Is it a mistake?
Does he have scars all over
that covered by clothes?
He was abused by his family
as a child!
One is a woman, his mother!
She was an alcoholic
who sliced him with a cutter
when she's drunk.
And his older brother beat him
with a hammer just like his mother.
Fong's been abused too,
that's why he understands me.
Are they both dead?
His mother was robbed and killed
by a junkie when he was 16.
Then his brother was killed
in a hit and run.
Killed his mother
and pinned it on a junkie!
And no one expects a 16-year-old
to steal a car to kill his brother!
You really are insane.
But Organised Crime and Triad Bureau
will arrest you!
Your prints and cigars are in there!
It looks like your hideout,
not Fong's.
You always call yourself
the Chosen Sleuth,
now her husband's got you.
You've stepped in deep trouble,
and don't even know
where Auyeung is.
"Unified Dockyard, Tsing Yi"
This isn't the car
that you drove yesterday.
Whose is it?
Your husband's.
Why would her husband keep visiting
an abandoned dockyard?
Your daughter
is about to kill Auyeung!
Forget it, just get there first!
"Updated news"
"Missing Superintendent Auyeung Kim
now confessed and turn himself in"
"No signal"
Inspector Fong,
your car's GPS is back on!
Heading down the South Bridge,
they're on Dockyard Road now.
Unified Dockyards!
Call in Special Weapons
and Tactics team!
Call the Deputy Commissioner
of Operation for approval!
This is Fong Lai-shun from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau.
We believe that
Superintendent Auyeung Kim
is being held at Unified Dockyards,
we need Special Weapons and Tactics
team deployed as soon as possible.
Dee, Ma, Cat!
Chau, Cream, Snake!
Take these to the afterlife!
You won't die in vain, brothers!
I'm sorry, Dad!
You'd been wronged
for so many years!
Dad, the world now knows
you're not the Devil Cop!
I'll kill Auyeung Kim
right now as tribute to you!
Are you all disobeying orders?
I told you on the phone,
my dad said that
Auyeung isn't the Butcher!
Shouldn't we stop
and clear things up first?
You were there
when Chu and I searched his place.
We found the clothing
and the loader.
How can he be innocent?
Whenever you lead an operation,
Jun shows up in time.
Are you two in cahoots?
If it wasn't for him,
our guys wouldn't have died!
He's always on our tail,
there must be a mole between us!
Is your dad that talented
or something?
He is!
His ability isn't news to you!
You've known this all along,
why doubting his talents now?
How dare you call him insane
and even fire at him!
How could you get revenge
without him?
Those Sleuths are up there.
Your husband knows
those Sleuths are here.
How would her husband know?
Forget it, find Auyeung first!
About the Butcher's hideout
in West Village,
we found 25 sets of bones,
cash box from the securities firm,
Lee Jun's old warrant card
and Cohina cigar butts.
That was the brand Jun used to have.
I suspect that Jun has
Multiple Personality Disorder,
he has at least three personalities
inside him.
The righteous Chosen Sleuth...
Why did you turn this bad?
The Butcher...
"He's The Butcher, so he knew
Yee was the survivor all this time."
Therefore he found her
and groomed her to be a Sleuth.
He's also The Devil Cop.
That's why he knew 17 years ago
that Chun Tze-to was being framed.
There was a fourth person
at the scene!
There was a fourth person
on the scene, it was a setup!
The Sleuth personality
wanted to prove himself,
but then both Auyeung and I
shot at him.
So his Butcher and Devil Cop
set up Auyeung as a target
His next targets
probably are you and me.
Auyeung's here!
Cover me!
That insane is down there!
Your dad even found us here?
You're the mole!
Call Yan.
Tell her that
your best friend Fong Lai-shun
is the Butcher and Devil Cop!
I'm Auyueng from
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau,
I'm really the Butcher
and Devil Cop...
Stop that!
This is serious!
Tell Yan to stop posing.
No one believes me,
so you have to make it out,
don't die!
Don't die, make it out alive...
Don't kill Auyeung, I was wrong!
I misled you all
by saying that Auyeung is fishy.
His partner is the fishy one,
that Fong Lai-shun!
He's the Devil Cop and Butcher!
Yeung Lai,
he led Auyeung to East Village.
He buried the bodies
to frame your dad
and made Auyeung shoot him.
Chu, he misled Auyeung
so Auyeung tell Yan
that your dad's the Devil Cop.
He knows that your hideout's here,
so he is definitely calling in
Special Weapons And Tactics Team.
Don't kill Auyeung!
Surrender and you may survive this!
Trust me, okay?
No one believes me,
everyone's crazy!
I'll kill you all!
The three of you killed our friends!
I'll kill you all!
My water broke...
Over there!
We have to get revenge
for our friends!
I'm here to save you, wake up!
The hostage
is Superintendent Auyeung.
The prime suspects
are Lee Jun, his daughter,
Chai Ka-chu, Yeung Lai and Chan Yee.
Chan Yee is 32 weeks pregnant.
Our mission is rescue and arrest.
Yes, sir!
The Special Weapons and Tactics team
is here!
Fire!
The Sleuths have explosives!
Special Weapons and Tactics team,
shoot to kill!
The targets have
improvised explosive devices!
Shoot to kill!
Yee's pregnant.
They're terrorists!
All units, shoot to kill!
Multi targets,
300 meters at 12 o'clock!
Target,
200 meters at 12 o'clock!
They fell for the trap!
Fong knows the Sleuths are here
because he's their leader.
He saw my notes under the bridge,
I was close
to solving the two cases.
He was so scared and excited
that he turned my daughter
into a Sleuth
and made her get those kids to kill.
He laid a trap at that shack
to make me the Butcher,
Devil Cop and Sleuths.
He framed me!
He didn't expect me to meet you,
and I was close to exposing him.
But the fear excited him even more,
he decided to risk it all.
He tied your shoelaces,
led me to the docks,
called in SWAT to kill everyone!
After tonight,
either I'll be the Chosen Sleuth
and he'll be the Psychopath,
or I'll be the Psychopath
and he'll be the Chosen Sleuth!
You really are insane!
Fong is the kindest,
most righteous...
The wolf loves sheep's clothing!
The evil always seems so kind!
The devil loves to play the angel!
I can be the witness,
Fong really is in the Sleuths.
He's our leader.
Where's Auyeung?
He fled on a boat,
but we blew him up.
What about Lee Jun,
Lynn and my wife?
They're in that old boat.
And our guys?
Special Weapons And Tactics team
sent us scattering.
I didn't think Lee Jun
would be after us like this,
let's find our guys
and fight the way out.
You know where Butcher's hideout is,
and your stuff
was all over the place,
you're most likely the Butcher!
Even if Fong is a Sleuth,
it's all because he loves me.
He loves you?
Snap out of it!
Psychopaths
have no empathy
or any shred of love!
He married you,
so that he can see you every morning
and remember
how he killed those girls!
Now, Auyeung's dead.
You're the sole survivor,
the last hope!
Which one of us is the Butcher?
Use your brain, West Kowloon Sleuth!
Dad,
the baby's shoulders are stuck!
Prop the baby's head up.
Push!
Push.
You've done great the past two days,
it's Jun's fault
that we're being raided.
But for our late guys,
we can't give up!
I've taught you how to fight against
Special Weapons And Tactics team.
This is our turf,
we still have a chance.
Each of you take a grenade.
If you're cornered,
use it to help the others escape.
Regardless of who gets out tonight,
I'm proud of all of you.
Remember.
We're Sleuths!
Targets are sinking the dock!
Special Weapons And Tactics team,
fall back!
Boat team, enter the dock!
I'll stay,
go find your little brother.
Help, brother!
I don't want to die!
Help me, Brother!
Farewell, my friends!
Lee Jun, you fool!
You demon!
We couldn't get away after all.
Getting revenge for my father
was worth it all.
Boss.
Did you kill Lee Jun?
I'm the Devil Cop.
I'm the Butcher.
Dad!
Dad!
"Reborn in pure land"
Join the police when you grow up,
we'll catch
the real killer together.
Inspector Chai Ka-chu,
reporting for duty!
The wife did it, arrest her!
Yes, sir!
Yeung Lai.
Her father was Sheh Keung.
Auyeung used to tie his shoelaces
with the Ian Knot.
But he changed it after he shot Jun
at the press con.
Jun was truly the Chosen Sleuth,
he knew that Auyeung's Devil Cop
and Butcher long ago.
How dare he tortured my wife!
Lau killed 21 women,
but we can't charge him
because he has Parkinson's.
They burn people alive
for inheritance!
These three killed a whole family
and become leaders of the gang!
Over 100 cold cases here,
and Jun solved them all!
The answers are all here,
but everyone dimissed him as insane.
We have to get justice
and show the world
that Jun is the Chosen Sleuth.
The sleuth has a daughter,
she thinks her father's a nut.
A real rebel.
Do you hate the police
because you hate your dad?
Or do you hate the police
because of how they treated him?
He's insane, not a police, okay?
Have you considered
that he's not insane?
He's actually the Chosen Sleuth.
He's solved many cold cases
and botched investigations.
Even if no one believes him, we do.
You're his daughter,
so lead us.
Dad, are we going to die?
No!
I just got my daughter back today.
If I live through this,
I'll expose Fong.
I don't want this
to be another botched case.
Good!
I'll tell the whole world
that how Fong taught
Chu, Lai and I to line up
the families of cold case victims.
He trained us, armed us,
taught us how to brainwash them
and drive them to kill.
Dad.
I'm proud of you.
Good.
Come out!
Come out, little baby!
Come out!
Come out, little baby!
Baby!
Come on!
Hurry!
Let's go!
Run!
You insane!
You're a genius
who wasted your life!
Let me give you
the death you deserve!
After tonight,
you'll become me and I'll be you!
You'll be the Psychopath,
and I'll be the Chosen Sleuth!
You want to be me,
but I don't want to be you!
Your mother turned you into a demon!
For your own son,
just become human again!
Surrender!
It's not too late!
How can you kill your son?
Jun, let's swap!
I'll kill your daughter,
and you kill my son!
You'll die very soon,
known by all as a wicked criminal.
Aren't you mad
that you ended up like this?
If you can't kill me, kill my son.
Otherwise,
you won't get your revenge!
Kill the kid,
and you become a demon!
Everyone can become a demon!
Why not me?
I'm human, too.
If he can kill my daughter,
then I can kill his son!
All because of her
that you can't become a demon,
she's proud of you.
Dad.
I'm proud of you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It is so painful for you
to see your daughter being killed.
And I'd like to know
whether I'd be in pain as well
if my son dies.
You can't even do me a simple favor?
You really are insane.
Farewell, Sleuth!
Fong Lai-shun!
You're the Butcher,
Devil Cop and Sleuths!
You're also my husband
and our baby's father!
Turn yourself in!
Why don't you ask me
if my love for you is for real?
Don't you want to know
if I've ever loved you?
I did!
Very much!
You're my proudest work of life!
If you hadn't met Lee Jun
and nearly exposed me,
I wouldn't have thought of
killing you.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, my girl.
Madam!
It's Superintendent Auyeung!
Don't die.
Make it out alive...
Auyeung!
Lee Jun saved me.
Fong is the Butcher and Devil Cop.
He fed me the clues
to the two cases.
I met him
while investigating
his mother and brother's deaths.
Come to think of it,
their deaths seemed fishy, too.
Play that footage again!
Zoom into the right hand.
Show me footage of Jun's arrest!
Jun's bandage was on his left hand
and Fong's is on his right.
That murderer is Fong!
Call in the Flying Service
for backup!
Did you see it?
See what?
The demon!
I did.
Chief Inspector Chan Yee,
reporting for duty.
Where's your partner?
I offered a ride,
but he said he has his own.
Investigative Consultant Lee Jun,
Organised Crime and Triad Bureau.
Be humble when we're on a case.
You're not idiots,
and I'm not the Chosen Sleuth!
It is wrong
to consider oneself as infallible,
it is evil
to regard oneself as righteous.
We're never being chosen,
but just sleuths.
All we need for investigating
is just doing our best
and keep asking ourselves
if there's any stone left unturned.
Remember this!
There is no Chosen Sleuth among us.
Understand?
Yes, sir!
I wrote all the names
over a hundred murderers.
Now, I'm very worried.
- Detective Lee.
- No one can go home.
Please come with me.
No seeing family.
- Park Detective Lee's ride.
- No dates!
- No ballgames!
- Alright.
No Karaoke!
No gaming!
No movies!
No television.
Here's your seat, Detective.
- Help yourself.
- No seeing friends.
We're going back to work.
"A good mother
was being robbed and killed"
"Her 13-year-old son captures
the murderer who is a junkie"
Whoever battles monsters should
ensure that he does not become one.
"A nice brother
wad killed in hit-and-run"
"A poor teen losing his brother
after the mother died 6 months ago."
When you look long into the abyss,
the abyss also looks into you.
"The Sleuth is so into his job,
his melancholic wife killed herself"
Which does not kill me
makes me stronger.
