Episode 15

Yu Haoran!

Professor Zou.

What did I tell you over the phone? I told you to calculate the data, but you didn't do anything and sent the data back!

- Couldn't you see such an obvious error? - I...

Redo the calculations and send them back to me again in two hours!

Okay, I'll check again.

- Engineer Cheng, are you busy with what you're doing? - I'm okay.

All right, take over Yu Haoran's subsequent work. I'll send you the data in a while.

I'll go apply for the cryptographic key then.

No, I happen to be going to the Administration Center. I'll apply for you.

- You can go directly to pick up the key and password. - Okay.

Also, you must finish everything within two days. It's such a simple matter.

I don't have time to go back and forth!

Where is Wu Miao?

I don't know.

Deliberate. He must have done it deliberately!

Yesterday, which one of you

came out of the archives yesterday and left the door open?

Why are you looking at me? I left even earlier than you yesterday.

Engineer Cheng.

You were the one who entered the archives, about two o'clock in the afternoon.

So much trouble, Engineer Cheng, we'll just pretend we didn't see it.

The door just wasn't shut tight. That's no big deal!

All of Dinghua's core information is in the archives. Why isn't it a big deal?

Last night, what was the situation after everyone left?

He was the last one to leave yesterday. No one else went in afterward.

- Continue to play on fast-forward. - Okay.

- There really isn't anything. Engineer Cheng, don't torment us... - Stop.

Go back 10 seconds, and play at normal speed.

- This... - Here.

This...! What is going on?

Is it signal interference? It kept thundering and raining yesterday.

No. This is the light from the crack of the door.

What do you mean?

No one went inside.

Was it a ghost?

Are you unlucky?

Enough.

- You two keep the guard here. No one is allowed to touch the surveillance videos. - Okay.

That's enough.

Cheng Lei.

You were the last person entering the archives.

Are you sure that the door was closed when you came out?

I'm sure.

After I close the door, I always pull it again to make sure. It's a habit that I formed from childhood.

Then, this is a big problem.

It defies laws both human and divine. (T/N totally lawless action)

This really lawless!

How many times has it been? How dare they do it under our watch!

Investigate. We must investigate, and go into everything!

Bring up the surveillance video of the corridor.

Don't get anxious yet.

President Pang, Professor Zou, I need to tell you something.

Engineer Cheng, what is going on?

Is it possible that Cheng Lei didn't shut the door tightly when he came out?

Security Department

Engineer Cheng, after you discovered this, have you mentioned it to anyone else?

No.

I came directly. After I saw the surveillance video, I immediately told Professor Zou.

- What about the two of you? - We've been here, and never even left at all.

But when I called in, I was in the Administration Center.

Could someone have overheard me?

Lao Zou, you were a little careless.

Forget it.

Engineer Cheng, you did great.

I really wish every Dinghua employee could possess your alertness.

You don't need to say this, it's what I should do.

Engineer Cheng, you are too humble. You should be rewarded.

That's for certain. Also, the two of you.

Thank you, President Lin.

This is a special incident, and it shouldn't be revealed to others,

so I want everyone to keep your lips sealed.

I don't want to hear any gossip or speculations.

Okay?

- No problem. - President Lin, don't worry.

Engineer Cheng?

Yes, I agree not to reveal this,

but this is not a trivial matter. I recommend that we keep investigating it.

Whatever the chief decides, you just carry it out. Okay?

The company will definitely pursue this incident all the way.

When it's necessary, we'll even ask relevant departments to assist the investigation.

So once we have the results,

I will personally explain it to you. Okay?

President Lin, I didn't mean anything else.

I understand.

Cheng Lei, you just need to keep doing your work.

Don't forget, give me that calculated data in two days.

Yes, don't worry.

Department Chief Song, what's happened?

After Miao Fei left, someone else might have entered the archives.

That's enough. No need to watch the surveillance video.

Here's the situation.

This morning, Dinghua's staff discovered that the archives's door was not closed.

So they checked the surveillance video and discovered something suspicious.

I can go confirm it with Miao Fei.

This is not important anymore.

According to the plan,

after Miao Fei left, with President Lin's assistance, I asked the technician to erase

the video recording of Miao Fei entering the Research & Development Department's office and the archives.

We also modified the video's breakpoint and timecode.

That's not difficult to do. What was missing?

The technician definitely erased all the images

related to Miao Fei. But the problem is,

soon after Miao Fei left the archives, the surveillance video showed

that there was light coming through

the door crack of the archives.

Then did it record anyone else entering and exiting?

No.

We can think positively. The light on the image could be affected by faulty equipment.

It could also be affected by the weather last night.

I just remembered.

You mentioned the weather. After Miao Fei left the Archives Room,

the reconnaissance car had a brief period of signal interference.

There was a bolt of lightning nearby.

I thought it was the weather.

How many times did the interference occur? What was the interval?

The interference was always there, ever since the rain started.

Such a strong signal interference occurred twice.

The interval was about a minute.

Also, when the second signal interference occurred,

there was no lightning strike.

After the second time, the reconnaissance car followed Miao Fei to leave Dinghua.

I thought it was normal signal fluctuation.

My granddaughter, even though she is only seven,

plays the piano really well.

Does it cost a lot of money for your granddaughter to learn to play the piano?

Of course it does!

But I'm willing to spend however much money for the child's sake.

Lao Hu, when you have a grandchild,

you'll understand it.

I'm hoping against hope.

What's wrong? Isn't your son back?

My son is a workaholic.

He came back to the hometown.

Why not get an easy job?

Just the opposite, I haven't seen him for days now.

He said he's out of town for work.

You say I can have a grandson?

If he can find me a daughter-in-law, I'll be thanking Heaven and Earth!

It's fine, it's fine. When his career is just starting,

he has to do everything himself.

Just endure two more years, everything will be fine when he becomes the chief.

That's right.

My son is in middle management in Dinghua.

If he can endure and become a vice president,

maybe he will be less busy.

I've asked him this sometimes.

I said, you make several tens of thousands of yuan in a month!

Isn't it enough?

Shouldn't you have a family first before you build your career?

Isn't that right?

Yes, yes, of course.

The money earned is spent on the children anyway.

My son makes quite a lot too.

But all that money is spent on my granddaughter!

What's going on ahead of us? Why so many people?

Let's go look!

- Make way. - Let us through.

Let us through. Let us through.

Oh no!

Why are you dazed? Hurry and call the ambulance!

I'll call.

We've called. We've called.

Sir! Sir, are you okay?

Young man, come over here.

Help carry him out.

Enough, don't waste your effort. He cannot be moved.

You don't know if he has broken bones. You can't randomly move him!

What if a fire starts?

Do you see any oil leaking out?

Just hurry and ask. Who saw

what happened? Hurry and go ask!

Hurry! Hurry!

Make way! Make way!

Car accident...

Sir! Sir, wake up.

Sir.

The interval between signal fluctuations matches the timing of the light showing up.

So basically, we can be sure that it was man-made interference.

This explains why the surveillance video didn't record anyone else entering that area.

It also explains why Xu He didn't appear.

He may have already gotten it.

If that is the case, then it's definitely Wu Miao.

Wu Miao? Didn't you say he is just a...

I was totally fooled by him.

What exactly happened?

Come here, everyone.

Last night, Wu Miao was the last person to leave the office.

What did he precisely take away?

it's not clear to see from this angle.

We can assume that is the equipment to produce the signal interference.

Wu Miao is not authorized to enter the archives.

So he has to obtain the fingerprints.

He works in the Research & Development Department,

so this is not difficult to him.

Just like that.

But the bureau in Tianlin City has confirmed

that Wu Miao is working for his former boss.

This doesn't impede him from working two jobs.

Could Wu Miao have already escaped?

No. He went home last night.

SkyEye showed that he never left his residential area.

After I received the call from President Lin, to prevent anything just in case,

I immediately notified Wang Zuo and them

to let them go make the arrest.

But they didn't find him.

We matched people that went in and out of this residential area and found this person.

The surveillance video shows that,

in the previous two hours,

no takeout delivery-person had entered the underground parking.

If Wu Miao is that person who has been lurking inside Dinghua,

then he should possess anti-reconnaissance abilites.

So it makes sense for him to have prepared a motorbike and a takeout deliveryman's uniform in advance.

When did this happen?

- 8:15 in the morning. - Two hours later,

Wang Zuo and them found the discarded motorbike and uniform.

Unfortunately, there were no traces or leads on Wu Miao.

He never appeared again?

It's been over two hours.

This guy could be anywhere.

Ma Shang, come out with me for a bit.

What's wrong with you?

I messed up this whole thing.

I was the one who told you that Wu Miao was just a marginal figure.

I myself misled all the subsequent operations.

My assessment on Wu Miao

is completely based on the intel and information within my grasp.

I didn't need you to tell me anything.

My assessment was the same as yours,

so this is not your mistake.

Wu Miao has a comprehensive resume,

and it's all verified.

All the information about him showed that

he is simply an ordinary research person.

So, how could you deduce that he is a commercial spy?

We are definitely losing right now.

But we shouldn't concede our loss like this. Isn't that right?

Adjust your mental state and then come back.

This means that we've lost track of Wu Miao for over three hours now.

Based on the worst scenario,

if he progresses 100 kilometers every hour,

using the location of the abandoned motorbike as the center,

the range within a circle of 300 kilometers in diameter

is the preliminary search area.

Furthermore, this area continues to expand

by progressive increments. So can we not roughly determine

the area that we should search?

Shuangqing is next to the sea. If he has enough resources, he will very likely

escape by a smuggling ship.

This assumption still doesn't ascertain if he will take other forms of transportation.

What if he mingles in at the plane or train,

- then— - Then what? I'll bring a globe to you.

Department Chief Song, I think we've misjudged Wu Miao.

In which aspect?

Based on known leads,

Wu Miao definitely misappropriated Tianxing Technology's research budget,

and he made an agreement with Tianxiang Technology's boss, Zhang Xingqui.

He went to work for Dinghua,

using stealing Dinghua's inside information as the condition,

he is waived from being sued by Tianxing Technology. It's like this, right?

This is the existing fact that we have, right?

Now comes the question.

Xu He.

Why would he collaborate with such a blemished person?

Based on what we know now,

Xu He's ultimate goal is to steal the artificial synthesis technology of DS Materials.

Therefore, we think Xu He should choose a partner

who is long-term, stable,

someone who is lurking inside Dinghua.

That's right. Wu Miao has been full of loopholes.

He can't have been lurking inside of Dinghua for a long time.

That's not necessarily so.

What if Xu He doesn't know enough about Wu Miao?

I don't think so. Think about it, everyone.

How did Xu He use Miao Huanyang in the past?

Before they met in the casino,

he already knew everything about Miao Huanyang's business.

This was the only way to draft a plan

to lure and control Miao Huanyang.

An Jing, are you thinking of recommending

that we temporarily not consider the possibility of Wu Miao and Xu He being partners?

I think this possibility should not be excluded.

But we don't have any leads that prove

Xu He and Wu Miao are definitely in contact.

Even including whether Wu Miao stole the crytographic key,

we can't be certain.

The surveillance video certainly provided such a possibility,

but we don't have solid proof.

That's true. We've narrowed our own thinking.

I am sorry about this incident.

I'm the one who has misled everyone's judgment.

- Department Chief Song, I'd like to ask a favor. - Speak.

Contact the bureau in Tianlin City, and ask them to check Zhang Jianqui's travel records.

This guy has been withdrawing a sum of money from the bank every month.

Thereafter, it's likely that he has been going to the same place.

- To meet Wu Miao? - Yes.

Okay, I'll contact them.

Have you thought of something?

Wu Miao is probably not the person that Xu He planted inside.

- According to normal logic— - Sister Jing has already done the analysis just now.

As shown on the surveillance video just now,

this man escaped by riding the motorbike.

He is only carrying a backpack.

Zixuan, what is the condition of his bank account?

Three accounts in total, less than 100,000 yuan.

How much as Zhang Jianqui withdrawing from the bank every month?

200,000 to 300,000.

But all together it's about one million.

Does everyone know how big a suitcase

is required to hold one million yuan in cash?

You mean he didn't take it with him?

But Department Chief Song said they didn't find anything in Wu Miao's home.

Then, could it be

that Wu Miao obtained this ill-gotten money,

- and hid it all near the secret meeting location? - Right!

So we are still circling around those three questions.

Number 1, who is Wu Miao?

What kind of person is he?

A commercial spy?

Yes. Someone who will risk his life for money.

Number 2, where did Wu Miao come from?

I don't care if he is doing double duty by working for Xu He,

I just want to know, what was his original motive to enter Dinghua?

To avoid being sued by Zhang Jianqui.

Avvoid repaying the research budget that he misappropriated.

He can also make a lot of extra money.

So, we have reached the third question.

Where will Wu Miao go?

Our analysis concludes that everything he does

is motivated by money.

Then, regardless of where he will go in the future,

at least for now, he is heading toward the money.

Car travel records show that after Zhang Jianqui withdraws the money every time,

he would drive to the border town between Shuangqing and Tianlin City,

Sanfeng Town. Wang Zuo and them are already on the way.

- Understood. - Understood.

We are about twenty minutes behind you.

Once you get there, try to ask for the local police station's support.

Try to broaden the search to include all the apartment rental and leasing companies' records,

particularly these underground brokers whose data are not posted to the net.

Yes, understood.

In a town like this, there shouldn't be too many of this kind of company.

Therefore, we'll divide into two units. One unit will collaborate with the local police department.

The other unit will visit the town's neighborhood committee.

Don't make too much of an uproar.

Got it.

What is it?

I can't help but admit

that Ma Shang is quite good.

Do you think a person's brain is fated to be a certain way?

Why? Feeling inferior?

Look, how long has he been in this field? And how long have you been in it?

Besides, everyone's logical thinking and method are different.

But I think it's more about the gap of experience.

Whenever we discuss the case, only you can match up to his thought process.

I'm like an idiot watching from the sideline.

You mustn't think this way.

When I had worked as long as you have, I wasn't as good as you are now.

Really.

Also I think

if you can make corrections promptly when you notice your deficiencies by working on some cases,

isn't that a good thing?

How come I feel like when you talk like this you're trying to teach your son.

Why is it this number calling me again?

Hello?

An Jing? You finally picked up the phone.

You are...?

My name is Wang, I am your mother's friend.

Do you still remember?

Uncle Wang, what's up?

It's all my fault today.

I wasn't being careful while I was driving.

We got into a car accident!

Is my mom okay?

The doctor said that there isn't a lot of injuries, just a slight concussion.

But her mood doesn't appear to be normal.

I... How can I tell you about it?

Where are you guys right now?

We are at the People's Hospital. Come quickly, okay?

An Jing.

I..

Uh.. could I trouble you to watch over her for a little bit?

I really can't come at the moment. When I get the chance, I'll come later. All right?

Alright, that's no problem. I'll stay with her.

Be quick!

Sorry to trouble you.

What's wrong?

My mom had a car accident.

Is she okay?

She isn't injured.

But why... why is it a car accident again?

I'll meet up with Wang Zuo. You should go quickly to the hospital!

It will be hard for Auntie's state of mind to recover back to normal.

Right now...

Sister Jing, right now she needs you to accompany her.

Sister Jing!

Drive the car.

If we don't capture Wu Miao,

we won't be able to ascertain if he works for Xu He.

We also won't be able to ascertain if he stole the key.

None of the questions can get answered, and this case is doomed. Understand?

- But— - This is my own business!

I can handle it myself.

Drive the car.

The year my dad died...

he was also chasing after a runaway spy.

Do you remember? I've said it before.

I suspect that person from years ago is Xu He.

After all these years, he is doing the same trick again.

At this moment, he relies on this method

to cover his peoples' escape.

It's not important.

Even if it is him, we won't let them get away.

Boss, we're leaving.

- Okay. - Bye-bye.

- Come again. - Okay, bye.

Come again, please.

- Go ahead and put things away. - Yes.

Once you put things away, just go eat.

Yes, Boss.

Zhou Lian.

Fei Fei.

It's been so long since you came to find me. I was thinking maybe you forgot about me.

How could that be possible? I've just been really busy lately.

You're working hard.

Sit for a while.

All right, you sit and wait for me here.

The clothes have been dry-cleaned already.

It's all my fault that you have to make a special trip.

I didn't even notice.

If I had known you didn't notice, I should have hidden it away and not told you.

Did you eat?

Let me tell you... Do you have any free time tonight?

I recently met a really good-looking dude, I can introduce you guys.

I don't have any interest.

Okay, okay, I won't tease you then.

Fei Fei, you told me this yourself.

You need to let the things in the past be the things in the past.

Do you know your current condition?

You can't keep going on like this.

But...

I already don't know how I can trust another person again.

Jia Changan really wasn't a good person.

But didn't he treat you very well, right?

He had another woman.

How could that be?

Fei Fei, do not hold back if you know anything.

You can tell me anything. I promise to keep it a secret, all right?

I need to go back to the company.

Fei Fei.

Take care of yourself. I'm here all the time if there's anything.

Thank you.

I'm leaving.

What do you mean you failed?

Miao Fei may be working with the NSS.

I can't get the key.

What?

That's totally not what I expect from you.

How could it be so hard for you to...

to handle just a little girl?

You said your men would help me!

- But what— - Shut up!

Sorry, I was talking to my cat. Not you.

You can just continue.

Okay.

It's dangerous for us to stay in China.

I want to pull myself out, without the last payment.

What the hell are you talking about, Qiao?

I have never seen you give up like this before.

I don't want to go to jail for money!

No, don't say that.

Actually,

your plan for getting the key was absolutely outstanding.

I like it!

And, by the way... I've got good news for you.

My man has already got the key.

What. Why didn't you tell me?

Well, it wouldn't be interesting at all. Right?

Then let your men finish the rest of the mission!

I'm done with it!

Qiao.

Have you ever had a cat?

I was so lonely...

so I bought a cat.

And I was told by the seller

the cat has been trained very well.

But later on, I found out that... the cat is a cat.

How could it be... possibly, absolutely obedient?

I was so disappointed,

because I feel that

I have been betrayed.

Then I suggest for you, not to be too harsh.

Or else it might bite you.

You're right. That makes sense.

But as a pet, it has to learn how to bow to his master.

You can only get love from your master,

only if you are obedient.

Do you agree with me?

Yes...

I agree.

Wonderful.

I knew that... You would agree with me.

So... I am a businessman of my word.

I promise you you'll get every cent from your retainage,

but you have to finish your plan first.

Okay?

Where is the key?

Just relax.

I will get my men to give you the key as soon as possible.

Just wait for my message.

[ Zhou Lian ]

- Why are you not picking up my calls! - Speak!

The target is preparing to leave.

- How much? - Thirty.

How is it?

They are blocking the view. I cannot see the numbers.

Lao Liu, did you receive the response?

We did.

Go up and make contact.

Understood.

I told you to come over, so come over quickly. Why do you have to say so much nonsense?

I really have something for you. Come here quickly. Listen to me, come over quickly.

Brother...

Brother...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He's drunk.

What's wrong with you...

- Brother, let it me. -Staring at me?

Brother.

You are still... still staring at me, right?

- Are you staring at me?! - Brother!

- Brother... - You keep staring at me...

- Brother, let's go. - I am telling you, this is not over.

I am not done with you yet!

- Let's go. - Stop staring at me!

Hurry and go. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Section Chief, the monitoring device is installed.

Copy that. Did you hear the content of the call?

I didn't get to.

Xiao Li, test the signal.

Section Chief, real-time positioning was successful. The monitoring signal is normal.

Copy that.

Section Chief, we have trailed the target to the residential quarter.

The target is going upstairs. Should we follow him?

- No need. Stand by, and take cover. - Copy that.

Xiao Li, immediately hurry to the residential quarter to join Lao Liu.

Du Meng and I will arrive later.

Copy that.

How is it going?

No one's speaking. He might be the only one in the room.

What is he doing?

He is probably drinking. There was a sound of opening a bottle and a burp.

If we take action now, it is practically certain. What do you think?

Are you sure you did not hear a word from his call before?

I only heard the last sentence. He said, "listen to me and come over quickly".

- Are you sure that the tone of his voice was commanding? - Yes.

Section Chief, how about

catching him now? Otherwise, a long delay may mean trouble.

If Wu Miao really stole the key, he would probably have sold it by now.

Section Chief, why don't you take Wu Miao back to the city bureau first ,and we will continue to watch here?

Even if someone comes to meet him, we can still catch that person then.

But the situation is not good for us now.

We must not act rashly.

We are not sure whether two people will reconfirm contact before the meeting.

If Wu Miao is arrested in advance, it will certainly cause the other person to escape.

I agree. Arresting one more person equals one more clue.

How about this. Let's take turns and monitor him in groups.

The first group will be Lao Liu and I, the rest of you should take a rest.

I will go and report to the Department Chief Song then.

Department Chief Song, this is Du Meng.

Yes, we have located the suspect's residence.

Section Chief decided to wait for the middleman to appear and then arrest them together.

I understand. Department Chief Song,

there's one more thing.

Can you confirm it?

I'll handle this matter. You can do the work at hand with peace of mind.

Did you find it yet?

The owner is a retired employee of Sanfeng Town Electric Power Department, and no rental information is registered on the Internet.

This is normal in villages and small towns.

I have not found any common points for the homeowner and Wu Miao yet.

I'll check the background information of his related family again.

Send all related evidence to An Jing.

Copy that.

Ma Shang.

Department Chief Song.

Don't leave out any possibility about the theft of the key.

Understood.

I'll take my leave.

It's done.

What kind of statue are you imitating? What are you thinking about?

Say, this Wu Miao,

could he have let us catch him on purpose?

He would have to be sick. Does he like the prison food?

Do you think it was too easy for us to locate him?

I think it's all right. If you hadn't seen through his behavior pattern,

we wouldn't have thought of going to Sanfeng Town to stop him.

Yeah, but why didn't Wu Miao choose to transfer the key

overnight as he got it?

And there was such heavy rain last night that the road monitoring was practically semi-blind.

It was the best opportunity to cover up his whereabouts.

I guess it was.

He fled at about 8: 15 this morning.

If he had acted overnight,

these ten hours would have been fatal to us.

Combined with Wu Miao's current performance,

to be honest, I am more and more doubtful that he stole the key.

If it was really someone else, then what kind of opponent are we facing?

First, he covers Miao Fei's actions

and then he distracts us with Wu Miao. His actions are much too accurate!

I hope I am only overthinking this matter.
