[The First Shot]

[Episode 31]

[Halan Public Security Bureau]

Currently,

Jiang Yingzi and Liang Jiaju are in a coma.

Lin Zhida, Lin Jiang, and Bai Ling

are all confessed.

I've visited the bungalow Bai Ling mentioned.

I didn't find Li Wenlong

or the gun there.

The warrant's been issued.

You must bring Li Wenlong and Jiang Xiaohai here.

Alright. I'll search again with my guys.

Xiong.

What's wrong?

How's Mao's injury?

You know what he's like.

He's a tough guy.

He will be out and about in 2 months.

Be careful out there with your team.

You must stay safe.

Don't worry.

I'll go with Team One.

Not necessary.

The prisoners are still in a coma.

You can't interrogate them.

I'll go to Xiong and help out.

Stop there.

Well,

I'm going to the command center.

If you want to help, go to the warehouse

and do a drug inventory.

The warehouse isn't

going anywhere.

Why do I need to go...?

Do as I say.

Enough with your crap.

I'm just trying to help.

With what?

What did you help with?

You let the suspect go.

You know I didn't mean to.

You know he mentioned my dad, so I...

I know all that.

So what?

What happened?

He mentioned your dad, and you lost your reason.

You'll do it again when your dad is brought up.

You can't get over this.

He'll bring it up again, and it will work again.

Why should I get over it?

It's my dad!

Your dad's dead.

He's gone.

I know that.

I know my dad's gone!

You don't need to tell me that!

I just want to find him

and take him home!

What's wrong with that?

This is stupid.

Do you know how emotional you are now?

I only stated the truth.

How can you carry out a mission in this state?

You'll only fail.

Your enemy will strike

when you hesitate for even a moment on the battlefield.

You're not alone.

You have your team with you.

To solve this case,

the entire Halan police force is focused on it.

Everyone's life is in danger.

It's not just your revenge game now.

I don't see it as a game.

I don't care how you see it.

Under the current circumstances,

we must obey the orders

and stick to the plan

before we can have the chance

to arrest all of them.

Bei,

Liang Jiaju's awake.

The hospital just called us.

We can interrogate him at any time.

Don't let your dad down.

Tag Yao along.

Officer Zheng.

Is he dead?

Don't worry about him.

He'll die after you.

That bullet was meant to hit you.

It's a shame

it was windy.

Turn on the camera.

Let's begin.

Officer,

I'm injured.

I need to rest.

Sure.

Let's make it fast.

We'll send you back when we're done.

Liang Jiaju, right?

He nodded. Put that down.

You're Mr. Ma, the head of Lucifer Drug Cartel,

right?

[Dead] [Declarant's Signature: Liang Jiaju]

[Resident Registration Form] [Name: Liang Zhixin]

The problem is that Jiang Xiaohai seriously injured Liang Jiaju's father,

yet they still dealt drugs together.

They seem pretty close.

Okay.

Don't you want to rest?

You'll get some rest here.

I'll go grab a bite.

Then we'll carry on.

Xueyao,

send him back.

We'll start with the cooks.

What about him?

Leave him alone for now.

Only Mr. Ma knows the formula.

He decided the amount of each ingredient

and even what size of equipment

to use.

We were assigned different jobs

and were only responsible for our part.

When we finished, someone else took over.

We took turns.

The beginning and the end

were completed by Mr. Ma himself.

So none of you participated in

the complete drug making process, right?

Yes.

The main reason Lucifer

is so expensive is

that it is extremely pure

and complex to produce.

The formula is a top secret.

Mr. Ma didn't allow anyone to access it.

Sorry.

I forgot to replace the gas bottle.

You'll make do with this.

When we go back,

Uncle will get you some sweet and sour fillet

to replenish the sugar.

Guozhu,

how serious is the damage to the data

in the surveillance room?

It's pretty bad.

I've sorted it out.

They're being organized.

Tell us about your relationship with Jiang Xiaohai.

We don't have any relationship.

He went to Zhanzhou for you.

You've found out about that too.

Do you know

Jiang Xiaohai and I

got to know each other when we were twelve?

When Jiang Xiaohai was twelve,

some human traffickers in Halan had him.

How did you meet him?

I met not only him

but also you

in that tin house.

When we get out of here,

I'll give you one that never washes off.

Really?

Let's make a pinky swear and keep it!

He was taken by the human traffickers.

They beat him up for days.

He still took care of me back then.

He told me

I was his last friend.

Not long after,

we were both sold.

So seven years ago,

Jiang Xiaohai went to Zhanzhou especially for you.

Why did he beat up your dad?

My foster dad.

[No smoking in the warehouse]

Your permit.

Do you think I don't want to arrest Li Wenlong

and other drug dealers?

Our mission is to take down all of them.

Your purpose and the team's purpose

were never in conflict.

Don't let your emotions hold the arrest back.

Don't let the efforts of so many

be jeopardized

because of you.

As for Jiang Xiaohai,

I can't decide whether to call him sentimental

or thoughtful.

After I went south to study,

I lost contact with him

until the year of the college entrance exams.

[Until the year of the college entrance exams]

I'm done.

I've got one more paper to finish.

Take it easy.

These days have been overwhelming for me.

I'm so stressed.

See you around, Jiaju.

See you around.

Bye.

He found out through Qin Yi

that I was studying in Zhanzhou.

He then went there.

I didn't know how long he'd been following me,

how long he'd been in Zhanzhou,

or how long he'd been looking for me.

He was like a ghost.

I didn't know

he was with me.

My...

foster dad

was an alcoholic.

It's all crap!

What's the use of studying this?

What's the use of this?

It's meaningless crap!

Get up!

What's the use of studying this?

It's all crap!

You're wasting my money!

Repent!

Are you sorry now?

[Excellent School Prefect] What a good-for-nothing.

[Excellent School Prefect]

[Excellent School Prefect] Say something.

[Excellent School Prefect] Speak!

On my birthday,

the night before the college entrance exams,

I hung out with my classmates.

Actually, I don't know

my exact birthday.

I just picked a date.

We were just trying to relax because school had us

so stressed out.

The first flower goes to Jiaju.

Alright.

Liang Jiaju!

You fool!

How did you get the money?

You even have money for food?

Do you know what day you were born?

I gave you...

No!

Lele?

Now that I think about it,

he only made a simple attack,

which led me to fully commit to protecting him

and working together in business.

Lele.

Do well on the test tomorrow.

Over these years,

I've repaid him for what he did for me.

That's all.

Write down Lucifer's formula.

Officer Zheng,

I was a student of Arts.

I know nothing about chemistry.

Enough with the crap.

Your cooks have told us

that you provided the formula.

You did the finishing touches

on the drug production yourself.

You want me to believe you know nothing about chemistry?

The formula is a top secret.

Mr. Ma didn't allow anyone to access it.

I was a student of Arts.

I know nothing about chemistry.

Now that I think about it,

he only made a simple attack,

which led me to fully commit to protecting him.

Wu,

check something for me.

[Lantian Mall]

Officer Zheng.

Bei.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

What happened out there?

Keep an eye on him.

[110] [*The emergency number in China]

Something's up.

Hello?

Hello?

Quiet!

Did you get it all recorded?

Yeah.

Next is the second.

Where did it blow up?

Bei,

the guy who set the bomb called.

Play it.

Play it from the beginning.

This is the first explosion.

Next is the second.

The second one will go off at 10:30.

Bei.

Answer it. What are you doing?

Hello?

Pattaya Bathhouse?

Another bomb went off.

What's going on?

Director Gao,

someone called to warn us,

but it was a kid.

Are there other recordings?

Yeah. Hold on.

There will be a third explosion in two hours

at Halan Coach South Station,

Hongxing Kindergarten, or the Thermal Power Plant.

Choose one of the three.

I hope you'll find the right location.

That's all.

They hung up right after.

Without naming any requests,

he dropped two bombs.

What does he want?

We just finished the mission,

and now there are explosions.

Whatever the reason,

our priority now

is to evacuate the crowd immediately.

Zheng Bei,

take your team to the Thermal Power Plant.

If something goes wrong there,

the entire Halan will be in trouble.

I'll go to the coach station.

I'll go with Uncle.

The station is huge.

You need help.

I'll go to the kindergarten.

Director Gao,

we've just arrested Liang Jiaju and Jiang Yingzi.

Now there are bombs.

I believe Jiang Xiaohai is behind this.

He's got a lot of detonators.

Only he can make such explosions.

It shouldn't be.

Jiang Xiaohai should be busy with fleeing now.

Why would he have time to make explosions?

He's doing this to run away.

How's he going to get away

without distracting us?

We've arrested the entire drug trafficking gang.

Only Jiang Xiaohai and Li Wenlong are left.

With only a few guys following them,

if he doesn't make some noise now,

can he escape?

What will he do?

I'm not sure.

Director Gao,

I'd like to request additional personnel

to search the city.

What about the bomb?

Just leave it?

These three places are far apart.

We'll check them all,

but we're short on manpower.

I don't have any personnel to spare.

It must be Jiang Xiaohai.

Are you sure?

Zheng Bei, we can't go by hunches.

If you're wrong,

and Jiang Xiaohai didn't do this

while there's not enough police presence,

the third bomb could go off.

How many casualties would that cause?

The safety of people's lives and property

is our top priority.

Obey the orders.

Zheng Bei of the major crimes unit,

lead your team to search for the bomb.

Got it.

Guozhu,

call those three locations

and organize an immediate evacuation.

Be careful not to cause panic.

Don't worry.

We have a plan for that.

I'll call for backup

and centralize the city's police force.

You guys go first.

Reinforcements will arrive shortly.

All personnel

must be evacuated within an hour.

Remember, no casualties.

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Drive.

Okay.

[No smoking in the warehouse]

Li,

you're quite early today.

Who's that?

I've come early to go home early.

He's new in the factory.

I'll familiarize them with the process.

Did you play poker last night?

You look tired.

I didn't get enough sleep.

- Go. Let's have a drink someday. - Sure.

[Duty Room]

Zhang.

What are you doing here?

Zhang,

have you heard about the explosion?

I've heard.

They've all gone to the front for reinforcements.

Right.

What are you guys doing here?

There's a very important seizure here.

The leaders sent us to check.

Zhang,

where are the drugs seized by the City Bureau stored?

They've been stored over there.

Bei,

we're in the kindergarten.

How's the situation there?

Bei,

yesterday's winds

knocked down one of the school's warehouses,

so classes are closed.

There's no one in the kindergarten.

The few remaining staff members have been evacuated.

Confirm it now.

No one can be left behind.

Hurry up and find the bomb.

Understood.

Bei,

why would he want to bomb

an empty kindergarten?

Look for the bomb.

Set everything else aside.

Huang.

Uncle.

Don't move.

What the hell is this?

Uncle, how's it going over there?

We're evacuating the crowd.

There are too many tourists.

I'm sure we don't have enough men.

We need reinforcements.

A second crew

is heading south.

Have you found the bomb?

Still looking.

How's it going over there?

I'm on my way.

Luckily, they're all on the south side,

making it easier to concentrate the police force.

Stay safe, kid.

Roger that.

Bei,

why would he want to bomb

an empty kindergarten?

Luckily, they're all on the south side,

making it easier to concentrate the police force.

They're drawing the police force to the south.

What are they up to?

The north...

The hospital.

Get off now.

Take your men to the Thermal Power Plant.

I'm going to the hospital.

Okay.

Director Gao, this is Zheng Bei.

What's going on at the Thermal Power Plant?

I think the bombs were planted by Jiang Xiaohai.

He's drawing the police to the wrong place.

The first two bomb locations were to the south,

and now the third one is there as well.

He's not trying to blow anyone up at all.

He's forcing us

to deploy all police forces to the south.

They are indeed all in the south.

The hospital where Jiang Yingzi is being held is on the north side.

Officer,

I'm bleeding from my infusion.

Nurse, please remove the needle.

Don't move!

Or I'll stab your artery!

Jiang Yingzi,

take your hands off her!

Drop your guns!

Drop them!

Jiang Yingzi,

don't be impulsive.

Uncuff me now.

Director Gao,

Jiang Yingzi is holding a nurse hostage.

It's really Jiang Xiaohai causing trouble.

Zheng Bei,

go to the hospital now.

I'm sending my men there.

Roger that.

I'm on my way.

Hello?

Lucifer's formula

is a modified version of Song Kang's old recipe.

[Halan People's Hospital]

Jiang Yingzi.

Officer Zheng.

Calm down.

Release her.

You want another murder charge?

I'll let you run now.

Can you run?

Surviving another minute

is a win.

Am I right, Zheng Bei?

You still haven't given up.

Waiting for someone to save you?

Hello?

Zheng Bei,

this is Jiang Xiaohai.

You're hiding quite well,

Mr. Ma.

Clubs.

Mr. Ma, I'm sorry.

Mr. Ma, I was wrong.

Mr. Ma, I'm sorry.

What did you do wrong?

I...I shouldn't have done meth in Halan.

Mr. Ma, I'm sorry.

Spades.
