Maybe

Fafa

was kidnapped by Whiteboard years ago.

We can run an investigation

and see if there are any old reports

that suit Fafa's case.

Sure.

(Linshan City Police Station)

(Case File)

Director,

these three files are similar to Fafa's situation.

(Basic Information Survey)

Ai Xin,

go to the orphanage with me tomorrow.

All right.

(Case File)

(Linshan City Welfare Home)

Fafa.

Why are you sitting on the ground?

Isn't it cold?

I brought you a small gift.

Here you go.

Is this your bear?

I brought it back for you.

Check and see if it's yours.

You treasure this bear so much.

Who gave it to you?

Let me examine your wound.

I have everything

in the pockets of my treasure box.

Look.

Let me put it on you.

The pain will go away immediately.

There are also cartoons on it.

Do you want to try my magic?

It doesn't hurt anymore.

You must listen to me next time.

If you don't listen to me,

your stomach will hurt.

Relax.

All of you are working together.

I'm a police officer.

Police officers catch bad people.

Are you going to catch my father?

If your father is a bad person,

the police will catch him.

Officer Chang.

Speak.

Apparently, Whiteboard

is a gambling addict.

He usually gambles at places

with games hosted by dealers.

Sure.

Xie is here.

Take a look.

Which games do you want to play?

I'll do this.

We're playing Three Cards today.

Xie is here.

Quick!

Shuffle the cards!

Xie is here.

How much are we playing for?

2,000 yuan maximum.

That's a false win!

Hello, Anti-abduction Office.

Yan Lei, Whiteboard is a gambling addict.

Investigate the entertainment cities

- Jiajia. - and underground casinos.

Don't miss out on any clues.

Understood.

Also, contact Chang Rui

and convey the news to him.

Ask him to investigate the casino lead.

Yes.

Make a record.

Hello, Anti-abduction Office.

Lei.

I found it.

Whiteboard is a gambling addict.

I'm currently following this lead now.

Rui,

Director just called us.

She said something similar to you

and asked us to investigate casinos and entertainment cities.

Not only do I know that Whiteboard is a gambling addict,

but I also know which casino he's at.

Let me scout ahead first.

Sure.

Are these two competing with each other?

Seems like it.

Hello. Who is it?

If you're awake,

come and play.

A game hosted by Xie.

Which Xie?

The guy who's been playing generously.

He's hosting a game on the hills.

I'm not going.

I'm poor.

More reason to come.

I'm telling you.

This is a great opportunity.

If you gamble today,

there are no limits to your winnings.

Don't blame me for not notifying you.

Sure.

Big!

Small!

Open!

Odd or even?

Even!

- Odd! - Even!

Even!

There's no mistake!

Five.

Ten.

11, odd.

Thank you!

Buy!

Buy!

Even!

Even again!

Odd again!

Even!

Odd!

Two.

Four.

Six.

Eight.

Nine, odd.

This doesn't count!

Dafeng.

Show some respect.

Respect is worth nothing.

Besides, why should I show you respect?

If you like, keep playing.

Otherwise, get lost.

Who are you?

Feng,

he is Xie.

Let's not offend him.

You spend money on food, wine and entertainment.

Gambling is the only thing that lets you spend and make money.

We are all here just for fun.

Don't spoil the rules.

I'll pay for your losses in the previous game.

Give the money back to that person.

This money...

Feng.

He is rich

and he has a powerful background.

Thank you, Xie!

Bring the chair.

Come on!

Keep playing!

Come on!

Place your bets!

Odd!

(Performance Hall)

(Banker)

(Banker Wins)

Sit.

Let me introduce myself.

I am Xie.

I just came to Linshan

and I want to do some business here.

I was the one

who hosted the game today

because I wanted

to make some friends.

We are all out here

to make money.

But have you two thought about this?

Why do some people make money,

and even a lot of money,

but some people

only work all day

just to lose everything?

You cheated?

This is the money

both of you lost here tonight.

I added some money

to make it a round number.

What do you think?

Can we be friends?

I am Bai.

I am Zhao Dafeng.

My nickname is Crazy.

Bai.

Zhao.

In my experience,

making money

is not about one's ability

but who one partners with sometimes.

I hope you can help me.

Let's make it big

in Linshan

and make money together.

(Banker Wins)

Vice Director Yin,

I notice someone else besides Whiteboard.

He also has a partner called Zhao Dafeng.

Zhao Dafeng?

I've never heard of this person.

I think they are working together.

I suspect they are an organized kidnapping group.

I want to extend the line.

The priority now

is to find Zhou Min and Zheng Weiwei immediately.

I understand.

I've spread the news.

There will be updates soon.

Director Deng.

Chang Rui called

and said he has found Whiteboard.

He also noticed another person

called Zhao Dafeng.

Zhao Dafeng?

There might be

a bigger target behind them,

so he is not in a rush to make the arrest right now.

I asked him

to search for

Zhou Min and Zheng Weiwei soon.

All right. I understand.

I'll report to Captain Han later.

All right.

Zhao Dafeng...

(June 18, 2009, Linshan City Forest Park)

All right.

Be good.

What a good boy.

Someone! Come quickly!

Are there any doctors around?

Call 120!

Help me call 120!

Hello, emergency services?

Someone has passed out here.

Hello, Anti-abduction Office.

All right. I'll head over immediately.

Director, I received a report.

A baby boy is missing at the Central Garden Square in Xinmin Street.

We need to deploy immediately.

Ai Xin, stay here.

All right.

How long has the baby been missing?

Less than an hour.

(Linshan City Police Station) Contact the Command Center.

(A child is missing at the Central Garden on Xinmin Street.)

(Activate Blue Contingency Plan now.)

(1201. This is 1101.)

I have activated

the Blue Contingency Plan to search for a missing child.

Surrounding police forces have been deployed.

(Xinmin Street Central Garden Square)

Every patrol in the city has been informed.

Report your current location.

Command Center,

Traffic Team 1 is on Hongyang Street.

Traffic Team 3 is on Qinghe Road.

Traffic Team 4 is on Haitang Road Section 2.

We are heading to the destination. Over.

1101. This is 1201.

We will arrive on the scene soon.

Please activate the Level 2 Response Plan immediately.

1202, Level 2 Response Plan has been activated.

When you arrive on the scene,

learn about the details and report them immediately.

Roger.

Director Deng. Vice Director Yin.

The time of the crime was half an hour ago.

The child's grandmother was pushing a stroller on their way home.

She saw someone pass out...

Everyone, calm down.

(She was a doctor.) I'm a doctor.

(So she rushed to give first aid.) Let me take a look.

When she went back, the child was missing.

Everyone, please make way.

Please make way.

Can you hear me?

I checked her.

She's unconscious.

Where's my grandson?

Where's Little Spud?

Did anyone see him?

A boy.

Did you see him?

Call the police.

Call the police.

Little Spud!

Little Spud!

Everyone was focused

on the first aid

and no one saw any suspicious person.

The child's grandmother is very anxious.

She can't even speak clearly now.

Jiajia, check the cameras.

Yes.

Lei,

comfort the family members

and find out about the child.

You must

seize the critical first three hours.

Make haste.

Mrs. Lin.

Yan...

Yan.

I lost my grandson.

Mrs. Lin.

Yan.

You are a police officer.

You must help me.

I watched you grow up.

You must help me find my grandson.

I beg you.

Please.

Don't do this.

We are here

to help you find your grandson.

Do you know her?

She is my mother's colleague.

I'll leave her to you, then.

Keep a close eye on her.

Calm down, Mrs. Lin.

Tell me about your grandson.

My grandson is Lin Yangyu.

He was born

on the 21st of January, 2009.

Have you searched the surroundings?

Our colleagues and patrol officers

have searched the garden and the surrounding areas.

Have you informed the other family members?

I have.

Yan.

You'll surely find the child, right?

You'll find him today.

You'll surely find him, right?

Don't worry.

We'll do our best.

Mom!

- Mom! Where's Little Spud? - What happened?

Little Spud couldn't even walk!

How did he go missing?

What happened?

Sorry!

Sorry!

Are they police officers?

Why are you all standing here?

Go and find the child!

Madam,

we are searching the safety and traffic cameras around the area

to find any suspicious vehicles and people.

(Calm down. We will do our best.)

(Central Garden)

(Central Garden)

Which department do you come from?

We are from Anti-abduction Office.

Don't worry. We'll find the child.

I don't care where you come from!

Don't just stand here!

Go find the child!

Find him!

Easy. We are doing our best to investigate.

Please cooperate with us and give us your testimony

so we can get more information, okay?

Let's go.

Yan Lei.

Let's go, hurry!

This way.

Let's go.

Mom!

Director Deng.

Is this your first time coming to the scene?

This usually happens for Anti-kidnapping officers.

We understand how the family members feel.

However, there's no choice.

Many things usually happen at once.

It's easy to charge into battle,

but it's difficult to communicate with the family members of a victim.

Director Deng. Vice Director Yin.

I've connected with Command Center.

They are also investigating.

I've confirmed the situation.

It happened suddenly and everyone wanted to save that person.

So, no one paid attention to the child.

Did you check the parents' background?

I did.

They have simple backgrounds

with no enemies.

Director, look.

This vehicle had been parked at a blind spot

since it entered the garden.

(Central Garden) Check when the car left the garden.

(Central Garden)

It was when Dr. Lin was rescuing the patient.

Zoom in on the plate.

South C C0Y30.

This model.

Check the license plates.

The plate is registered to a sedan

and not an SUV.

This is a fake license plate.

We'll go after the car while investigating.

Command Center.

We've found the suspect vehicle.

License Plate.

South C C0Y30.

(Heading towards Longshan West Road)

The suspect vehicle is now on Longshan West Road.

It is driving out of the city.

Deploy all patrol vehicles around Longshan Road.

Longshan West Road?

(Linshan PGIS Application Platform)

This vehicle has been driving on rural roads

to avoid our checkpoints.

This must be our target.

South C C0Y30!

Pull over!

C0Y30!

Pull over!

Why are the police here?

Shu.

Can you stop him from crying?

The car in front.

C0Y30! Pull over!

Stop!

The suspect vehicle is heading towards Huajie Road.

All patrol vehicles, intercept it immediately.

That's the suspect vehicle.

Director,

Command Center has sent us a map.

Director, there's a three-way fork ahead.

We'll turn right and corner it.

All right.

Chang Rui.

Follow the suspect vehicle.

We'll corner it from another road.

Yes.

Director, we can intercept the vehicle

at the junction ahead.

Get every department to follow the suspect vehicle closely.

800 metres to the suspect vehicle.

600 metres.

400 metres.

200 metres.

Last 100 metres.

20 metres.

Turn off the vehicle!

Get out! Hurry!

Get out!

Whose child is this?

This...

This is my child.

Take them away.

(June 18, 2009, Thursday)

Officers,

I didn't commit any crime.

Why did you run then?

I had

some smuggled cigarettes in the car.

Also,

that vehicle used a fake license plate.

I didn't expect all of you

to pursue me for so long just for that matter.

I was very afraid,

so I...

I escaped.

The cigarettes in your car

and the false plate on your car

aren't the most important things.

Most importantly,

why is the child

in your car?

The child?

What's wrong with my child?

Officers!

Where's our child?

The child

isn't yours.

That's impossible.

Have you confirmed it?

I have.

That's impossible.

Did you make a mistake?

Can you let us take a look?

We want to confirm it.

Yes.

I beg you.

Let us take a look.

Can you let us confirm it?

I beg you.

I beg you!

Mrs. Lin,

please calm down.

The DNA test result

is out.

The child

isn't yours.

Mom...

What were you doing?

Mom!

Little Spud is a baby!

He couldn't speak

or walk!

How can we find him?

- Sorry. - The police will help us.

Sorry!

- It's all my fault! - We are here.

It's all my fault!

Calm down.

Go out and find him!

Shut up!

Officer!

Sorry!

His attitude was bad!

- I apologize to you! - Get up!

Officer!

Stand up first.

He can't live anymore if he cannot be found!

I understand how you feel.

Stand up first.

Officers, we'll surely cooperate with you.

We understand.

- Please stand up. - Let's talk.

I don't have any other way!

This is normal in the Anti-abduction Office.

The feeling of hope and disappointment changes constantly.

As time goes on,

you'll get used to it.

Is it possible

that our search direction was wrong?

Is it possible

that the kidnapper

did not escape in a car immediately

and chose to enter the garden further

or somewhere without cameras?

Some blind spots.

Is there such a possibility?

Why must he go further inside the garden?

Moreover, the garden is big.

There are cameras on all corners.

In that case,

it might not be easy for him

to leave this garden.

No.

Something feels off about this.

All right.

First of all,

we need to expand the search radius.

Not just the entrance,

but every exit of the garden.

We must also pay attention

to blind spots and cameras in deeper parts of the garden.

Don't miss out on anyone.

Secondly,

we need to visit the garden again.

There might be other eyewitnesses.

Thirdly,

we can't eliminate the possibility

that the child has been sold.

So, we should contact the police stations

of other areas to release a joint investigation notice.

- Yes. - Yes.

Director Deng.

Tuanyuan Restaurant

(Help Find My Daughter) has been here for a long time.

It is a residential anti-kidnapping organization.

This is it.

Madam Zhang.

Madam Zhang.

(Tuanyuan Restaurant)

Officer Yan.

Are you busy?

Let me introduce you.

This is Director Deng, who has just come to the Anti-abduction Office.

Director Deng.

She's Madam Zhang.

Sit.

Sit down.

Sit.

Madam Zhang,

I won't be sitting.

I came here this time

to ask for your help.

(Baby, Come back)

This child went missing

in the garden two days ago.

We checked the nearby cameras

and found nothing.

We hope to work

with Tuanyuan Restaurant.

If you find any clues

about this child,

please contact us immediately.

I understand.

I will put it on

the wall immediately and contact all volunteers.

(Missing) If I have news, I'll contact you.

All right.

Thank you.

Director, I'm going to answer this.

(Missing) (Ranran!)

(Ranran!)

Yanyan.

How are your parents?

They are doing quite well.

What about you? Are you doing well?

I'm doing fine.

Fine.

You've become the director now.

How nice.

Madam Zhang,

I haven't forgotten

about Ranran.

(Missing)

Director Deng,

there's news at the police station.

We have to go back now.

Go back to work.

Madam Zhang, thank you.

I will...

I will come back again.

(Missing)

(Missing)

I am a lawyer.

Do you need any help?

(Missing, Luo Xiaoyu)

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

Hello, Anti-abduction Office.

What?

The Public Complaints Administration is here again?

She is Officer Deng, Deng Yan.

The Director of the Linshan City Police Station's

Anti-abduction Office.

Officers.

I am my client's lawyer.

I am Sun Wenhan.

This woman beside me

is...

I am Luo Xiaoxing.

It has been 15 years

since my brother, Luo Xiaoyu,

was kidnapped.

We put all our hopes

in you, police officers,

but until now,

the police have yet to find

any leads about my younger brother.

My client

is suspecting the police

of neglecting their responsibility.

It's like this.

I've read Luo Xiaoyu's case

and the relevant details.

The details are quite complicated.

Since Luo Xiaoyu went missing,

the Linshan Police Station Bureau's

Anti-abduction Office's officers

have gone through 327 investigations

in 11 provincial cities.

We've also questioned 760 people.

Since you did so much,

why haven't you found anything yet?

We are still investigating.

This case happened a long time ago.

Technology back then was not as advanced.

I've heard this many times.

I only want to know any clues about my younger brother.

Where is he?

Is he living well?

He...

I don't mind even if I have some news.

This case is very complicated indeed.

We need time

for our investigation to bear fruit.

Please be a little more patient...

Patient?

Since my younger brother went missing,

my mother committed suicide.

My father and my grandparents

couldn't see Xiaoyu return home.

All of them are dead.

I'm the only one left in the family.

I've been waiting for 15 years.

I've been searching for 15 years.

How much patience do you still want me to have?

(Linshan City Police Station Public Complaints Administration)

Xiaoxing.

Sit.

Director Deng,

you just took over the anti-kidnapping job.

I understand your profession,

and you've done a lot of homework.

However, you are facing a person who is alive

instead of emotionless numbers.

Victims

don't want to hear how hard you've worked.

They only want results.

What did you investigate

and which step are you in?

What possibilities are there?

If there are no results,

all of these are pointless.

They want a sliver of hope.

A hope

to not give up and keep searching.

What we want

isn't your meaningless work progress.

We want you to solve the problem

and crack the case.

We want Luo Xiaoyu to come home.

I...

I might not be able

to give you a confirmed answer.

However, I still hope...

you can give us...

some time.

How long?

Another 15 years?

Lawyer Sun.

Luo Xiaoxing.

I guarantee.

If I can't crack Luo Xiaoyu's case,

I will quit my job.

(Linshan City Police Station Public Complaints Administration)

(My promise)

(China Police) (is insignificant)

(before them.)

(At this moment,)

(I've finally felt the weight of this epaulet.)

(What we are searching for)

(isn't a person)

(but the only hope)

(in the difficult lives)

(of the millions of families)

(behind the missing people.)

(Police)

Stop watching.

Go away.

When I was fishing, I pulled up

and had a look.

It was so scary.

A dead body.

I don't know as well.

What's going on?

We are only waiting for you.

Take a look at the victim.

Is he the person

the Anti-abduction Office

has been monitoring, Zhao Dafeng?

It's him.

When did you last see

Zhao Dafeng?

Xie.

Let's have a toast.

Since I've worked with you,

I've made a lot of money.

I got really lucky.

You are my God of Fortune.

Didn't I tell you

that we'd make money together?

Bai, let's have a toast together.

We'll make money

and get lucky together.

Xie.

I don't know if I should ask this.

You better not.

I'll be shameless

and ask you again.

What business were you in

when you were in another city?

Don't you know the rules?

Xie.

Do you not believe in us?

Everyone in the underworld

carries some secrets.

If you need help, tell us.

If I can do it,

I'll help you even if it costs my life.

Leather.

I'm in the leather business.

What a coincidence.

We are also in the same line of work.

Enough.

Well,

in the end,

we're actually peers.

Is business good in Linshan?

It's not bad.

What's the normal price?

30,000 yuan usually.

It depends on the goods.

We'll do 20,000

for you.

How's that?

Do you have ready stock?

I have stock that is ready to be verified.

30,000 yuan it is.

I'll pay you in full.

Don't disappoint me.

Xie,

I also have one here.

Xie, I'll only charge half after this.

Leave it to me

and don't worry.

How long do you need?

Two days.

All right.

We'll meet here two days later.

Okay.

Take care,

Xie!

Are you spoiling the market?

You're right.

Here.

Take it.

(Tuanyuan Restaurant)

Are you busy?

Madam Zhang.

Qian, you're here.

I came here early in the morning,

not for something else

but for the

rent's matter.

Well...

Qian,

I'm sorry.

I'm a bit strapped right now.

Well,

I am

trying to think of something.

I'll send you the money once I've gathered it.

You need to pay the rent today.

My family is still waiting for me to feed them.

- Zhang. - Madam Zhang.

I have some money.

Let's pool our money.

Yes. Me too.

How much do you need?

No.

No.

How can you use all your money?

Making money is difficult for you two.

This restaurant's problem is our problem as well.

Besides,

if you hadn't brought me to this restaurant,

I wouldn't know what to do.

Take this money.

Exactly, Zhang.

Without you,

I'm not sure where I would be now.

All right.

I'll take it as a loan.

All right?

Well,

Qian.

I gathered so much.

1,100 yuan.

Take it for now.

That's not enough.

It's too far apart, Madam Zhang.

Give me a few more days.

I'll come up with something.
