[The Knockout]
[Episode 20]
Tell me,
if someone wants to run away,
what
will be his priority?
At least
he has to bring some food and drink.
An Xin,
when can you
stop thinking about your work
when we're on a date?
It was you who wanted to take a look of Zhang Daqing's photo
and to talk about it with me.
I was wrong. My bad.
It seems I
am running a little fever.
Feel it.
Your hands are freezing.
What do you want?
Use your forehead.
Brother.
Isn't that the reporter from last time?
What?
Why is she with a police officer?
No wonder
the police suddenly came to search my place last time.
Money!
What money?
If Zhang Daqing wants to run away,
the first thing he'd do is
to get money.
I have an idea.
Can you help me?
-Let's go. -Run!
Run! Meng, run!
-Okay. -Hurry.
Hurry up.
I can't run anymore, dad.
I'll wait for you at the pavilion.
Okay. Wait for me there.
I'll be right up.
Hurry up.
Yu.
Hurry up.
Where are you?
Uncle Meng.
Why are you here?
I
Stop. I'll go up.
I just came for a walk.
And coincidentally,
I saw you here.
So coincidental?
Shoot.
Isn't the land
of Mang Village in the plan of expropriation?
So I was wondering
if we can
hold a briefing for the public
through you.
The plan hasn't come out yet.
The investigation has just started.
What do you want to explain to the public?
Not anything specifically.
It's just pretence.
We want to
lure out
the person we're looking for
by this briefing.
You want to arrest someone?
Yes.
What case?
That murder case from last time.
Let me think.
Since you want to solve a case,
you should make it as real as possible.
OK.
Well,
can you please try to
publicize it as much as possible?
Because in that way,
some people may think
this briefing is so big
that they'll stand to lose if they don't come.
Then that person must come.
You brat.
Don't forget
I'm not your director now.
But you are a big shot.
Cut it out.
-An Xin. -Yes.
Take a look.
Where is Qinghua District?
This way.
From here
all the way to there and beyond, to the north,
this whole area all belongs to Qinghua.
But Qinghua is poor.
There are all old houses.
There are not many decent new buildings.
To develop this area and render it out,
we have to built roads first.
But it's so hard.
Especially now.
Fiscal subsidies
have become the God of Wealth.
You have to bribe everywhere you go.
Everyone wants to have a finger in the pie.
A few days ago,
the render schemes of all the companies
have been handed in.
To be honest,
the scheme of Construction Engineering Group
is the best.
I know all about Gao Qiqiang,
and I know clearly
about your views of him.
But in order to build the road,
so far,
he is the most suitable.
I'm just a cop.
I don't quite understand what you just said.
You talk just like your Director Guo.
You're police officers,
so you can only tell right from wrong, right?
You should know it better.
Dad.
Why were you running so fast?
I can't catch up with you
no matter how hard I try.
An Xin?
Why are you here too?
You came to climb the mountain?
Say something.
-I'm asking you. -Enough.
Stop pretending.
Stop acting.
I lied to you once.
You two work together
to lie to me.
We're even now.
I-It's all my fault,
because it's all about my business.
But Dad,
I heard
what you just said.
You've made a promise to An Xin.
You must help him.
You have to keep your promise.
Don't move. Stand still.
I agree.
I will help him.
Thank you, Uncle Meng.
You two have a chat then?
I'll climb up the mountain.
Fine.
Shall we keep you company?
We'll chat for a while then.
"Keep you company?"
Do you still want to jog?
[Briefing of Policies on Construction of Highways and Demolition and Relocation of Qinghua District]
The government of Qinghua District
decided to hold a briefing to explain
the policy of demolition planning.
The move is well received by the public.
[The People's Government of Jinghai Municipality]
[Demolition and Compensation Management Department, Department and Procedure of Demolition Compensation]
[Address of the Demolition Policy Briefing]
Yes, for the apartments on the third floor and below,
we sell them according to
the market price.
And for those above the third floor,
it's two thousand per square meter.
Someone is in.
I said someone is in.
What are you doing?
It's him?
Yes.
There were too many people,
so I lost him.
He changed his clothes.
He had an accomplice.
No wonder we lost him.
Remember this red hoodie.
Check the video clip again,
from the moment he came out
of the district government.
Yes.
I'll do it.
[Shenshen Hostel]
Found it.
Master.
It's him.
Shenshen Hostel.
[Shenshen Hostel]
Sir, this
Why is the sign changed?
Right. It's closed and going to be renovated.
Hello. Do you want to stay in the hostel?
Sorry.
We're closed for renovation.
We're the police of the Criminal Investigation Unit.
We're here to get some information.
Okay.
You're in charge here?
I used to be, but not now.
Why did you quit?
A few years ago,
they said a university town was to be built here.
So I bought this hostel.
But the university town was given up,
and the hostel was not doing well,
so I sold it.
If you need it,
I can give you
the current owner's phone number.
Can we go in and have a look?
[Beisheng Hostel]
Of course.
Please follow me.
Let me help you.
Oh Thanks.
Just put it over there.
Master.
Why are you still going in?
He's long gone. Retreat.
These are the users' IP adresses
which have logged onto the local forum
to inquire the demolition policy
these three days.
We've deleted
the users in the demolition area.
It's normal for the risidents in the area
to care about the demolition policy.
But for those who are not in the demolition area
to suddenly start to be concerned with the policy,
it's not normal.
But there are still a lot left after deleting.
At least 70 or 80 households.
How about this?
Compare the addresses
which are left now
with the properties
of Construction Engineering Group.
Okay.
You're talking happily.
Daddy,
Qiqiang brought this for you.
Old white tea.
Let me make it for you.
Okay.
Qiqiang, you haven't been to the company for a while.
I don't know where to start.
Recently,
I've been attacked
by many rumors.
If I come to the company,
I'm afraid it'll bring you negative influence.
A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe.
Just let them talk.
The point is I'm not a straight foot.
Now
is the critical moment
for the company's tender.
So I won't show up for some occasions.
It's more appropriate for you to show up.
You did the project.
It's almost done.
It's a pity to give up.
Dad,
I always remember
what you said to me
when I just joined our company.
"No matter who it is,
we should support him
as long as it's good for the company."
Yes, Daddy.
Qiang and I
take the group as our home.
We're all family.
So we don't haggle over who gets the credit.
I'm surprised
you can take the whole situation into account.
What are you talking about, Daddy?
It's our duty.
Since you said so,
I won't be too polite.
There indeed is something.
I'll just be frank.
What is your order?
I want to be a peacemaker.
For the project to continue,
we need your courage and insight,
but we also need Chengcheng's
technology and knowledge.
The internal conflict between you two
causes loss to the group.
Here.
Alright.
As long as she doesn't provoke me,
I'll let bygones be bygones.
You'll benefit from modesty.
And you'll be cultivated by being magnanimous.
Genius.
You were right.
Qiqiang is a genius.
Daddy,
It's not that I had sharp eyes,
but it was your sharp eyes
that identified this able man for me.
How about this, Qiqiang?
Let's go fishing offshore this weekend.
I'll ask Chengcheng to come
and let her apologize
to you in person.
OK.
I'll do as you say.
Dad, you mentioned before
that the tea pot
seemed
in the way
and it didn't bring in any wealth.
I found a master
and asked about it.
The master said
there were two problems.
First, the former tea pet was too small.
You should change it to a bigger one.
The second reason he said,
is that the position where you put it was wrong.
He said as long as you put it in the right place,
you will be blessed with prosperity
for the rest of your life.
Where do you think
we should place it?
Yeah, Daddy.
Where should we place it?
-Xu. -Brother Qiang.
Your business looks good.
Not bad.
You ate it yourself.
Xu.
I've ordered for you.
Brother Qiang. pig hock noodles.
Delicious.
Have l told you
when I was young,
my dad bought us
pig hock noodles?
We still haven't found Zhang Daqing.
So I'm innocent.
You know Chengcheng well, right?
Any information about her
that I can know of?
An Xin,
you are a smart guy.
From the namelist I gave you, you can tell
that something is wrong with Chengcheng
at first glance, right?
Let me tell you something else.
Do you think Zhang Daqing
is still in Jinghai?
Do you think he wants to go out or not?
But he can't anymore.
All the exits
and highways
are blocked by the police.
As for the waterway,
I've asked people too.
He can't leave from waterway, either.
How do you think he can
leave Jinghai?
Don't beat around the bush.
Chen Tai suddenly came to me.
He said he hoped
to go fishing with me this weekend.
He was going to ask Chengcheng, too.
He wanted to
mediate between me and her.
Tell me,
what would you do if you were Chengcheng?
This is so delicious.
Have one more bowl.
Are you done?
Did you pay the bill?
Xu.
Did he pay the bill?
Yes.
What about mine?
Officer An has paid for you both.
Attention, all units.
We have received a reliable message that
a car whose license plate number is
HaiB36956
will drive from Putian Road
to the direction of the dock.
Please check carefully.
Hello. Please turn off the engine.
Please show me
your driving lisence and driving permit.
Hello.
We are the Narcotics Control Unit
of Jinghai Public Security Bureau.
We need to check
your ID and car.
Please cooperate with us.
Sure.
Go!
Excuse me.
Hello, your ID please.
Sorry for the trouble.
You can leave now.
Your ID.
[Chengcheng]
Open the trunk.
Is it really necessary?
Officer,
can I go now?
Turn right at the intersection ahead.
Boss.
We should turn left to go to the dock.
I'm telling you to turn right!
President, Manager Gao is taking a different path.
Follow the president's car.
Wait for me in the car.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Do you think
a microphone out of power
can fool me?
Now, tell me what you know.
Kill me.
Lu Tao.
Do you know
what I used to do?
I used to sell fish.
I'm very sensitive
to weight.
Let me guess.
My car
weighs at least
75 kg more today.
Right?
Come out.
Don't you feel suffocated?
Talk.
Who told you to hide in Qiang's car?
Ms. Cheng.
Who?
Ms. Cheng.
Ms. Cheng said she would hide me in the car.
No one could think of it.
Who killed Zhang Xiaoqing?
Me.
Who ordered you?
No one.
We were drunk that day
and played cards in the room.
He lost and got angry.
He hit me hard.
He kept hitting me.
I just hit my brother once,
and he just died.
I
I
He was strangled to death.
Talk.
Who ordered you to hide the body
in a vehicle of Construction Engineering Group?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
After the accident,
I went to Li Youtian.
Li Youtian took me to Ms. Cheng.
Ms. Cheng said
they would handle the rest.
She asked me to hide.
They did the rest.
They did it all.
It's not creative at all.
Let me ask you again.
The person who ordered you
is Chengcheng, right?
Yes.
Who killed Zhang Xiaoqing?
I-It was me.
Are you telling the truth?
Yes.
Do you hear all that?
Yes, we'll be there soon.
Don't do anything.
Don't worry.
I'm taking good care of him.
You should catch Chengcheng
quickly.
Mr. Gao.
You even killed your brother.
Are you a human?
Mr. Gao.
Mr. Gao.
Please help me.
See?
He has no backbone at all.
You're tough.
After you are released,
call Sheng.
If you want,
you can work for me.
No problem.
[Jiu's Dried Fish Shop]
Turn off the engine.
Get off.
Your name?
Chengcheng.
Come with us.
Stretch out your hands.
Palms up.
Go.
I'm off.
Let me introduce you.
That's Gao Qiqiang.
Hello.
Hello.
What's your name?
Yang Jian, Captain Yang.
From the Criminal Police Unit?
No, the Narcotics Control Unit.
It's all thanks to your information
that our operation can succeed today.
It's my pleasure.
An Xin and I
are friends for years.
It's police-civilian cooperation.
Speaking of drug control,
I have another favor
to ask.
Go ahead.
In some bars and nightclubs
in Jinghai City,
there's a kind of colorful Magu,
a kind of drug.
We know
you own Platinum Palace.
So,
please ask about for us
to see what kind of people are
selling this kind of drug.
You scared me.
Platinum Palace
won't touch the business of drugs.
I'm also a parent.
I know how harmful
drugs are to people.
Don't worry.
I'll ask around.
Thank you.
It's my pleasure.
An Xin,
look at
Captain Yang's attitude when he asks for a favor.
It's totally different from yours.
Have I not treated you to noodles?
Cooperate with us till the end.
Follow us.
Let's go back to the station and make a deposition.
We'll talk about it later.
An Xin, you're so good.
Who was talking just now?
No.
Someone
Who was it?
What are you looking for?
Someone was talking just now
Stop looking.
I said it.
Really?
It's not like you.
What's wrong?
Can't I praise you?
A filthy mouth cannot utter
Enough.
Director Guo is waiting for you to report your work.
Go now.
Ying,
tell them to register first
and wait for me.
Okay.
He starts to act arrogant when he's praised.
[Deputy Director's Office]
Excuse me.
Come in.
Yes.
Director.
Zhang Daqing has been caught?
Yes.
There are two more people.
One is Gao Qiqiang's driver,
Lu Tao.
The other is
Chengcheng from Construction Engineering Group.
They've all been caught.
Is Zhang Daqing the murderer?
He confessed to it himself.
It was recorded.
Who recorded it?
Where?
At the arrest scene.
Gao Qiqiang did it.
This operation
is arranged by
you and Gao Qiqiang in advance?
No.
He just provided us with a clue
and cooperated with our operation.
Do you know that
if you do this,
you'll leave yourself open to charges?
I had no other choice.
Go back now
and write a report.
Write every detail
of the communication
between you and Gao Qiqiang,
such as where you have been
and what you said.
Don't miss a word.
Yes.
I'll write it after I interrogate Zhang Daqing.
You write this first. Let others interrogate.
Isn't it a little
putting the cart before the horse?
What is cart and what is horse?
Aren't you the one who's doing it?
In that murder case at the construction site at Mang Village,
Gao Qiqiang
is the biggest prime suspect.
You asked him to help you solve the case.
Aren't you afraid
he'll ruin your future?
Director, I know how far to go.
Let me ask you.
Does Meng Dehai
want to work with Gao Qiqiang too?
Secretary Meng does want to hand over
the project of the highway to him.
You guys
If you use a tiger to devour the wolf,
you must be careful not to be eaten by the tiger.
Go write your report.
Yes.
[Jiu's Dried Fish Shop]
Honey,
go explain to Daddy nicely
to make him feel better.
I'll go with you.
No, I can do it myself.
Really?
Dad,
sorry for the trouble.
Your are such a troublesome son.
My own father often said that to me, too.
Dad,
did I tell you
things about my father?
My father died
when I was 13.
At that time,
my sister was very young.
She didn't remember anything.
As she grew up,
she kept asking me
what kind of person
our father had been.
I lied to my sister that
that our father
was a good father,
that he was the only well-educated technician
in the factory,
and that he loved his children
and our mother.
After saying that so many times,
I almost believed it myself.
In the past two months,
I suddenly remembered
how he was.
A drunkard
who hit us when he was drunk.
And he hit my mom too.
The security department
and the director of our factory
all came to persuade him.
Every time he'd wrote a letter of commitment,
but then he hit us again.
Then he kept on drinking
and beating us.
Since then, I knew
some people couldn't be trusted.
Do you know
what his biggest contribution
to our family is?
When I was 13,
the factory asked him to get the goods back.
He drank again
and took my mom with him.
They got into an accident.
Both of them were gone.
The factory
assessed it as an accident at work,
and payed compensation for it.
Dad,
we only received 500 yuan
in compensation.
I used that
500 yuan
to raise up my siblings.
I had no dignity at all.
All we wanted was to be full.
Do you know
when I
started to have dignity?
The first time in my life that I had diginity,
was six years ago,
when you bought Platinum Palace
and gave it to me.
I started to have dignity since then.
This time,
I aimed at Chengcheng
because I had no choice.
I didn't mean to aim at you.
As you said,
if a person's heart
is not on your side
or on the group's side,
what's the use of keeping him?
I hope you can forgive me.
Chengcheng is a talent.
If she wants to prove
she is a talent,
she'll have to stand on her own feet
like me.
[Report on the Arrest of Zhang Daqing]
Master, Zhang Daqing changed his confession.
Did you kill Zhang Xiaoqing?
Say it with your mouth.
It was me.
Who transferred the body for you?
No one helped.
I threw it into the truck myself.
That's not what you said before.
I was scared by Gao Qiqiang.
I was just talking nonsense.
Who let you hide
in Gao Qiqiang's car?
Lu Tao.
How did you get to know Lu Tao?
I don't remember.
Name?
Lu Tao.
Gender?
Male.
Age?
When did you come to Jinghai?
Who ordered you to do it?
Who ordered you to do it?
Who introduced you
to work for Gao Qiqiang?
He hasn't said anything, has he?
Except for his name and age,
he has said nothing else.
Let's go.
Okay.
Officer An.
Are you here to release me?
I'm not the murderer.
You should catch
the real criminal.
It's also a crime to assist in a murder.
Officer An.
Let me tell you a story.
Sure, no problem.
I like it. Come on.
But stories can only be stories.
It can't be used as a testimony in court.
Consider that
I'm talking nonsense.
Understood. Come on.
Once upon a time, there was a family.
There was a pair of brothers in the family.
The elder brother liked to gamble and the younger brother was bellicose.
Both of them were idle all day.
Finally,
they committed a huge crime.
They wanted to escape to avoid trouble.
But the elder brother could never change.
He lost all their travel expenses
in a short time.
Come on.
Enough.
I won again.
Let's continue.
Come on.
Give it to me.
Hurry up!
Have you forgotten
how you lost your money?
Xiaoqing.
Go on, everyone.
Xiaoqing.
This is the last time.
Give me the money for the last time.
Give me the money.
What?
I won't give you a penny
when we get the compensation for the demolition.
You'll be a gambler forever.
One day they were drunk.
The elder brother accidentally killed the younger brother.
Give me the money.
I just
I just want to be rich.
We can
be very rich soon.
The elder brother was so scared.
He didn't know what to do.
But he was simple-minded,
so he called someone for help.
When people came to help,
they thought, now that his brother was already dead,
they might as well make his body
more useful.
It's like rat poison is harmful to people,
but it can be used to poison rats.
That's all?
The story that I know
is over.
I want to hear
how you helped the elder brother
transfer Zhang Xiaoqing's body.
What I just said
was not about Zhang Daqing.
It's just a rumor I heard about.
Many people poisoned rats
with rat poison.
It can be me,
or it can also be Meng Dehai.
Who?
[Episode 20]
Tell me,
if someone wants to run away,
what
will be his priority?
At least
he has to bring some food and drink.
An Xin,
when can you
stop thinking about your work
when we're on a date?
It was you who wanted to take a look of Zhang Daqing's photo
and to talk about it with me.
I was wrong. My bad.
It seems I
am running a little fever.
Feel it.
Your hands are freezing.
What do you want?
Use your forehead.
Brother.
Isn't that the reporter from last time?
What?
Why is she with a police officer?
No wonder
the police suddenly came to search my place last time.
Money!
What money?
If Zhang Daqing wants to run away,
the first thing he'd do is
to get money.
I have an idea.
Can you help me?
-Let's go. -Run!
Run! Meng, run!
-Okay. -Hurry.
Hurry up.
I can't run anymore, dad.
I'll wait for you at the pavilion.
Okay. Wait for me there.
I'll be right up.
Hurry up.
Yu.
Hurry up.
Where are you?
Uncle Meng.
Why are you here?
I
Stop. I'll go up.
I just came for a walk.
And coincidentally,
I saw you here.
So coincidental?
Shoot.
Isn't the land
of Mang Village in the plan of expropriation?
So I was wondering
if we can
hold a briefing for the public
through you.
The plan hasn't come out yet.
The investigation has just started.
What do you want to explain to the public?
Not anything specifically.
It's just pretence.
We want to
lure out
the person we're looking for
by this briefing.
You want to arrest someone?
Yes.
What case?
That murder case from last time.
Let me think.
Since you want to solve a case,
you should make it as real as possible.
OK.
Well,
can you please try to
publicize it as much as possible?
Because in that way,
some people may think
this briefing is so big
that they'll stand to lose if they don't come.
Then that person must come.
You brat.
Don't forget
I'm not your director now.
But you are a big shot.
Cut it out.
-An Xin. -Yes.
Take a look.
Where is Qinghua District?
This way.
From here
all the way to there and beyond, to the north,
this whole area all belongs to Qinghua.
But Qinghua is poor.
There are all old houses.
There are not many decent new buildings.
To develop this area and render it out,
we have to built roads first.
But it's so hard.
Especially now.
Fiscal subsidies
have become the God of Wealth.
You have to bribe everywhere you go.
Everyone wants to have a finger in the pie.
A few days ago,
the render schemes of all the companies
have been handed in.
To be honest,
the scheme of Construction Engineering Group
is the best.
I know all about Gao Qiqiang,
and I know clearly
about your views of him.
But in order to build the road,
so far,
he is the most suitable.
I'm just a cop.
I don't quite understand what you just said.
You talk just like your Director Guo.
You're police officers,
so you can only tell right from wrong, right?
You should know it better.
Dad.
Why were you running so fast?
I can't catch up with you
no matter how hard I try.
An Xin?
Why are you here too?
You came to climb the mountain?
Say something.
-I'm asking you. -Enough.
Stop pretending.
Stop acting.
I lied to you once.
You two work together
to lie to me.
We're even now.
I-It's all my fault,
because it's all about my business.
But Dad,
I heard
what you just said.
You've made a promise to An Xin.
You must help him.
You have to keep your promise.
Don't move. Stand still.
I agree.
I will help him.
Thank you, Uncle Meng.
You two have a chat then?
I'll climb up the mountain.
Fine.
Shall we keep you company?
We'll chat for a while then.
"Keep you company?"
Do you still want to jog?
[Briefing of Policies on Construction of Highways and Demolition and Relocation of Qinghua District]
The government of Qinghua District
decided to hold a briefing to explain
the policy of demolition planning.
The move is well received by the public.
[The People's Government of Jinghai Municipality]
[Demolition and Compensation Management Department, Department and Procedure of Demolition Compensation]
[Address of the Demolition Policy Briefing]
Yes, for the apartments on the third floor and below,
we sell them according to
the market price.
And for those above the third floor,
it's two thousand per square meter.
Someone is in.
I said someone is in.
What are you doing?
It's him?
Yes.
There were too many people,
so I lost him.
He changed his clothes.
He had an accomplice.
No wonder we lost him.
Remember this red hoodie.
Check the video clip again,
from the moment he came out
of the district government.
Yes.
I'll do it.
[Shenshen Hostel]
Found it.
Master.
It's him.
Shenshen Hostel.
[Shenshen Hostel]
Sir, this
Why is the sign changed?
Right. It's closed and going to be renovated.
Hello. Do you want to stay in the hostel?
Sorry.
We're closed for renovation.
We're the police of the Criminal Investigation Unit.
We're here to get some information.
Okay.
You're in charge here?
I used to be, but not now.
Why did you quit?
A few years ago,
they said a university town was to be built here.
So I bought this hostel.
But the university town was given up,
and the hostel was not doing well,
so I sold it.
If you need it,
I can give you
the current owner's phone number.
Can we go in and have a look?
[Beisheng Hostel]
Of course.
Please follow me.
Let me help you.
Oh Thanks.
Just put it over there.
Master.
Why are you still going in?
He's long gone. Retreat.
These are the users' IP adresses
which have logged onto the local forum
to inquire the demolition policy
these three days.
We've deleted
the users in the demolition area.
It's normal for the risidents in the area
to care about the demolition policy.
But for those who are not in the demolition area
to suddenly start to be concerned with the policy,
it's not normal.
But there are still a lot left after deleting.
At least 70 or 80 households.
How about this?
Compare the addresses
which are left now
with the properties
of Construction Engineering Group.
Okay.
You're talking happily.
Daddy,
Qiqiang brought this for you.
Old white tea.
Let me make it for you.
Okay.
Qiqiang, you haven't been to the company for a while.
I don't know where to start.
Recently,
I've been attacked
by many rumors.
If I come to the company,
I'm afraid it'll bring you negative influence.
A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe.
Just let them talk.
The point is I'm not a straight foot.
Now
is the critical moment
for the company's tender.
So I won't show up for some occasions.
It's more appropriate for you to show up.
You did the project.
It's almost done.
It's a pity to give up.
Dad,
I always remember
what you said to me
when I just joined our company.
"No matter who it is,
we should support him
as long as it's good for the company."
Yes, Daddy.
Qiang and I
take the group as our home.
We're all family.
So we don't haggle over who gets the credit.
I'm surprised
you can take the whole situation into account.
What are you talking about, Daddy?
It's our duty.
Since you said so,
I won't be too polite.
There indeed is something.
I'll just be frank.
What is your order?
I want to be a peacemaker.
For the project to continue,
we need your courage and insight,
but we also need Chengcheng's
technology and knowledge.
The internal conflict between you two
causes loss to the group.
Here.
Alright.
As long as she doesn't provoke me,
I'll let bygones be bygones.
You'll benefit from modesty.
And you'll be cultivated by being magnanimous.
Genius.
You were right.
Qiqiang is a genius.
Daddy,
It's not that I had sharp eyes,
but it was your sharp eyes
that identified this able man for me.
How about this, Qiqiang?
Let's go fishing offshore this weekend.
I'll ask Chengcheng to come
and let her apologize
to you in person.
OK.
I'll do as you say.
Dad, you mentioned before
that the tea pot
seemed
in the way
and it didn't bring in any wealth.
I found a master
and asked about it.
The master said
there were two problems.
First, the former tea pet was too small.
You should change it to a bigger one.
The second reason he said,
is that the position where you put it was wrong.
He said as long as you put it in the right place,
you will be blessed with prosperity
for the rest of your life.
Where do you think
we should place it?
Yeah, Daddy.
Where should we place it?
-Xu. -Brother Qiang.
Your business looks good.
Not bad.
You ate it yourself.
Xu.
I've ordered for you.
Brother Qiang. pig hock noodles.
Delicious.
Have l told you
when I was young,
my dad bought us
pig hock noodles?
We still haven't found Zhang Daqing.
So I'm innocent.
You know Chengcheng well, right?
Any information about her
that I can know of?
An Xin,
you are a smart guy.
From the namelist I gave you, you can tell
that something is wrong with Chengcheng
at first glance, right?
Let me tell you something else.
Do you think Zhang Daqing
is still in Jinghai?
Do you think he wants to go out or not?
But he can't anymore.
All the exits
and highways
are blocked by the police.
As for the waterway,
I've asked people too.
He can't leave from waterway, either.
How do you think he can
leave Jinghai?
Don't beat around the bush.
Chen Tai suddenly came to me.
He said he hoped
to go fishing with me this weekend.
He was going to ask Chengcheng, too.
He wanted to
mediate between me and her.
Tell me,
what would you do if you were Chengcheng?
This is so delicious.
Have one more bowl.
Are you done?
Did you pay the bill?
Xu.
Did he pay the bill?
Yes.
What about mine?
Officer An has paid for you both.
Attention, all units.
We have received a reliable message that
a car whose license plate number is
HaiB36956
will drive from Putian Road
to the direction of the dock.
Please check carefully.
Hello. Please turn off the engine.
Please show me
your driving lisence and driving permit.
Hello.
We are the Narcotics Control Unit
of Jinghai Public Security Bureau.
We need to check
your ID and car.
Please cooperate with us.
Sure.
Go!
Excuse me.
Hello, your ID please.
Sorry for the trouble.
You can leave now.
Your ID.
[Chengcheng]
Open the trunk.
Is it really necessary?
Officer,
can I go now?
Turn right at the intersection ahead.
Boss.
We should turn left to go to the dock.
I'm telling you to turn right!
President, Manager Gao is taking a different path.
Follow the president's car.
Wait for me in the car.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Do you think
a microphone out of power
can fool me?
Now, tell me what you know.
Kill me.
Lu Tao.
Do you know
what I used to do?
I used to sell fish.
I'm very sensitive
to weight.
Let me guess.
My car
weighs at least
75 kg more today.
Right?
Come out.
Don't you feel suffocated?
Talk.
Who told you to hide in Qiang's car?
Ms. Cheng.
Who?
Ms. Cheng.
Ms. Cheng said she would hide me in the car.
No one could think of it.
Who killed Zhang Xiaoqing?
Me.
Who ordered you?
No one.
We were drunk that day
and played cards in the room.
He lost and got angry.
He hit me hard.
He kept hitting me.
I just hit my brother once,
and he just died.
I
I
He was strangled to death.
Talk.
Who ordered you to hide the body
in a vehicle of Construction Engineering Group?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
After the accident,
I went to Li Youtian.
Li Youtian took me to Ms. Cheng.
Ms. Cheng said
they would handle the rest.
She asked me to hide.
They did the rest.
They did it all.
It's not creative at all.
Let me ask you again.
The person who ordered you
is Chengcheng, right?
Yes.
Who killed Zhang Xiaoqing?
I-It was me.
Are you telling the truth?
Yes.
Do you hear all that?
Yes, we'll be there soon.
Don't do anything.
Don't worry.
I'm taking good care of him.
You should catch Chengcheng
quickly.
Mr. Gao.
You even killed your brother.
Are you a human?
Mr. Gao.
Mr. Gao.
Please help me.
See?
He has no backbone at all.
You're tough.
After you are released,
call Sheng.
If you want,
you can work for me.
No problem.
[Jiu's Dried Fish Shop]
Turn off the engine.
Get off.
Your name?
Chengcheng.
Come with us.
Stretch out your hands.
Palms up.
Go.
I'm off.
Let me introduce you.
That's Gao Qiqiang.
Hello.
Hello.
What's your name?
Yang Jian, Captain Yang.
From the Criminal Police Unit?
No, the Narcotics Control Unit.
It's all thanks to your information
that our operation can succeed today.
It's my pleasure.
An Xin and I
are friends for years.
It's police-civilian cooperation.
Speaking of drug control,
I have another favor
to ask.
Go ahead.
In some bars and nightclubs
in Jinghai City,
there's a kind of colorful Magu,
a kind of drug.
We know
you own Platinum Palace.
So,
please ask about for us
to see what kind of people are
selling this kind of drug.
You scared me.
Platinum Palace
won't touch the business of drugs.
I'm also a parent.
I know how harmful
drugs are to people.
Don't worry.
I'll ask around.
Thank you.
It's my pleasure.
An Xin,
look at
Captain Yang's attitude when he asks for a favor.
It's totally different from yours.
Have I not treated you to noodles?
Cooperate with us till the end.
Follow us.
Let's go back to the station and make a deposition.
We'll talk about it later.
An Xin, you're so good.
Who was talking just now?
No.
Someone
Who was it?
What are you looking for?
Someone was talking just now
Stop looking.
I said it.
Really?
It's not like you.
What's wrong?
Can't I praise you?
A filthy mouth cannot utter
Enough.
Director Guo is waiting for you to report your work.
Go now.
Ying,
tell them to register first
and wait for me.
Okay.
He starts to act arrogant when he's praised.
[Deputy Director's Office]
Excuse me.
Come in.
Yes.
Director.
Zhang Daqing has been caught?
Yes.
There are two more people.
One is Gao Qiqiang's driver,
Lu Tao.
The other is
Chengcheng from Construction Engineering Group.
They've all been caught.
Is Zhang Daqing the murderer?
He confessed to it himself.
It was recorded.
Who recorded it?
Where?
At the arrest scene.
Gao Qiqiang did it.
This operation
is arranged by
you and Gao Qiqiang in advance?
No.
He just provided us with a clue
and cooperated with our operation.
Do you know that
if you do this,
you'll leave yourself open to charges?
I had no other choice.
Go back now
and write a report.
Write every detail
of the communication
between you and Gao Qiqiang,
such as where you have been
and what you said.
Don't miss a word.
Yes.
I'll write it after I interrogate Zhang Daqing.
You write this first. Let others interrogate.
Isn't it a little
putting the cart before the horse?
What is cart and what is horse?
Aren't you the one who's doing it?
In that murder case at the construction site at Mang Village,
Gao Qiqiang
is the biggest prime suspect.
You asked him to help you solve the case.
Aren't you afraid
he'll ruin your future?
Director, I know how far to go.
Let me ask you.
Does Meng Dehai
want to work with Gao Qiqiang too?
Secretary Meng does want to hand over
the project of the highway to him.
You guys
If you use a tiger to devour the wolf,
you must be careful not to be eaten by the tiger.
Go write your report.
Yes.
[Jiu's Dried Fish Shop]
Honey,
go explain to Daddy nicely
to make him feel better.
I'll go with you.
No, I can do it myself.
Really?
Dad,
sorry for the trouble.
Your are such a troublesome son.
My own father often said that to me, too.
Dad,
did I tell you
things about my father?
My father died
when I was 13.
At that time,
my sister was very young.
She didn't remember anything.
As she grew up,
she kept asking me
what kind of person
our father had been.
I lied to my sister that
that our father
was a good father,
that he was the only well-educated technician
in the factory,
and that he loved his children
and our mother.
After saying that so many times,
I almost believed it myself.
In the past two months,
I suddenly remembered
how he was.
A drunkard
who hit us when he was drunk.
And he hit my mom too.
The security department
and the director of our factory
all came to persuade him.
Every time he'd wrote a letter of commitment,
but then he hit us again.
Then he kept on drinking
and beating us.
Since then, I knew
some people couldn't be trusted.
Do you know
what his biggest contribution
to our family is?
When I was 13,
the factory asked him to get the goods back.
He drank again
and took my mom with him.
They got into an accident.
Both of them were gone.
The factory
assessed it as an accident at work,
and payed compensation for it.
Dad,
we only received 500 yuan
in compensation.
I used that
500 yuan
to raise up my siblings.
I had no dignity at all.
All we wanted was to be full.
Do you know
when I
started to have dignity?
The first time in my life that I had diginity,
was six years ago,
when you bought Platinum Palace
and gave it to me.
I started to have dignity since then.
This time,
I aimed at Chengcheng
because I had no choice.
I didn't mean to aim at you.
As you said,
if a person's heart
is not on your side
or on the group's side,
what's the use of keeping him?
I hope you can forgive me.
Chengcheng is a talent.
If she wants to prove
she is a talent,
she'll have to stand on her own feet
like me.
[Report on the Arrest of Zhang Daqing]
Master, Zhang Daqing changed his confession.
Did you kill Zhang Xiaoqing?
Say it with your mouth.
It was me.
Who transferred the body for you?
No one helped.
I threw it into the truck myself.
That's not what you said before.
I was scared by Gao Qiqiang.
I was just talking nonsense.
Who let you hide
in Gao Qiqiang's car?
Lu Tao.
How did you get to know Lu Tao?
I don't remember.
Name?
Lu Tao.
Gender?
Male.
Age?
When did you come to Jinghai?
Who ordered you to do it?
Who ordered you to do it?
Who introduced you
to work for Gao Qiqiang?
He hasn't said anything, has he?
Except for his name and age,
he has said nothing else.
Let's go.
Okay.
Officer An.
Are you here to release me?
I'm not the murderer.
You should catch
the real criminal.
It's also a crime to assist in a murder.
Officer An.
Let me tell you a story.
Sure, no problem.
I like it. Come on.
But stories can only be stories.
It can't be used as a testimony in court.
Consider that
I'm talking nonsense.
Understood. Come on.
Once upon a time, there was a family.
There was a pair of brothers in the family.
The elder brother liked to gamble and the younger brother was bellicose.
Both of them were idle all day.
Finally,
they committed a huge crime.
They wanted to escape to avoid trouble.
But the elder brother could never change.
He lost all their travel expenses
in a short time.
Come on.
Enough.
I won again.
Let's continue.
Come on.
Give it to me.
Hurry up!
Have you forgotten
how you lost your money?
Xiaoqing.
Go on, everyone.
Xiaoqing.
This is the last time.
Give me the money for the last time.
Give me the money.
What?
I won't give you a penny
when we get the compensation for the demolition.
You'll be a gambler forever.
One day they were drunk.
The elder brother accidentally killed the younger brother.
Give me the money.
I just
I just want to be rich.
We can
be very rich soon.
The elder brother was so scared.
He didn't know what to do.
But he was simple-minded,
so he called someone for help.
When people came to help,
they thought, now that his brother was already dead,
they might as well make his body
more useful.
It's like rat poison is harmful to people,
but it can be used to poison rats.
That's all?
The story that I know
is over.
I want to hear
how you helped the elder brother
transfer Zhang Xiaoqing's body.
What I just said
was not about Zhang Daqing.
It's just a rumor I heard about.
Many people poisoned rats
with rat poison.
It can be me,
or it can also be Meng Dehai.
Who?
