[Shuangyang City, China]

This afternoon,

[July 16, 2022, 2:45 PM]

[Hongyun Villa, Heping District]

A major hostage-taking incident occurred in our city.

Two suspects suddenly took the renovation workers

at Hongyun Villa hostage.

The motive is still unclear.

Police have responded swiftly

and secured the crime scene.

Our station will continue to monitor the progress of the case.

Stay tuned for updates.

Hurry.

- [July 16, 2022, 12:43 PM] - [Royal Private Club, Shuangyang City]

Mr. Ma.

- [Shuangyang Zhicheng Financial Credit Service Company] - [Ma Deli, Chairman]

Please forgive me.

Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma,

please forgive me.

I promise I'll pay you back.

Ah.

Mr. Ma,

please forgive me,

Mr. Ma.

I swear I'll pay you back;

I swear.

When?

A week.

I'll pay you back

in a week.

I promise.

Please forgive me.

Uh.

Uh.

Three days,

three days!

Three days.

Three days.

Uh,

three days.

Uh.

Three days.

Three days.

Okay.

I believe you.

But if you don't repay me next time,

don't bother wearing that helmet anymore.

I'll repay you, I swear.

Luo Long.

Yeah.

Get him out of here.

Get him out of here.

Thank you, Mr. Ma.

Luo Long.

Yeah.

Come here.

Boss.

You

go and check on

that matter just now.

Also,

keep it quiet,

find some reliable guys,

and get the money.

I'm on it.

[Shenhe Branch of Shuangyang City Public Security Bureau]

This is Building 16 in the Hongyun Villa Area.

[Interior Floor Plan of Building 16 in the Hongyun Villa Area]

Wang Xinmin, the owner of the second-hand house,

[Shuangyang City Public Security Bureau]

[Wang Kai, Director]

Found a large stash of cash hidden within the wall cavity

during the renovations.

He was scared, so he reported it to us.

[Shuangyang City Public Security Bureau]

[He Fei, Captain of the Criminal Police Team]

The call came in at 2:35 p.m.

[Interior Floor Plan of Building 16 in the Hongyun Villa Area]

Five minutes later, at 2:40 PM,

two unidentified people suddenly appeared,

likely intending to seize the cash.

So, our officers have cornered them inside the villa,

and the criminals are now holding the owner and construction workers hostage,

demanding negotiations with us.

[Interior Floor Plan of Building 16 in the Hongyun Villa Area]

Let's do this.

I'll go in as a negotiator

to see their demands

and find the opportunity to act.

Listen, everyone inside.

Please remain calm.

Don't act impulsively.

Our negotiator is on the way.

Hands on your head.

Come in.

Hurry and come in.

Raise your hands higher,

even higher.

Don't play any tricks.

We want a car

and a clear path from the police.

Walk to us slowly.

Stop.

Stay right there.

Move.

Behave yourselves.

Captain,

good job.

We sent you in to negotiate,

not to act on your own.

I'll deal with you later.

Have you identified the previous owner?

Yes.

The previous owner's name

is Bai Guowei.

He was eager to sell,

so the house went for a price below its market value.

What does Bai Guowei do?

He's the head of the Loan Department at Huaxin Bank.

Oh, right,

he was diagnosed with cancer two months ago

and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.

Huaxin Bank Loan Department?

Yes.

What?

You know someone from it?

No, I don't know people at the Loan Department,

but I do know the bank's president.

Oh.

Let's go to the hospital

and check on this Bai Guowei.

Okay.

[Royal Hotel, Seaside Hot Spring]

Bai has always been cautious.

How could he mess up on this matter?

What possessed him

to do something so foolish?

It's odd for him to suddenly sell his house

at a time like this.

Based on his personality,

he shouldn't have done such a stupid thing.

Maybe he did it on purpose?

Worse yet,

we might get dragged into this ourselves.

Boss,

do you...

do you think he's lost his mind

because of the cancer?

Looks like...

we need to think of a way.

We can't just sit around and do nothing.

Also,

send a message to the two men from yesterday.

Tell them to take the blame.

[Shuangyang City Central Hospital]

[Loan Department, Huaxin Bank Shuangyang Branch]

[Bai Guowei, Director]

The deceased, Bai Guowei,

worked in the Loan Department at Huaxin Bank.

Two months ago,

he was diagnosed with cancer

and admitted to Shuangyang City Hospital

for treatment.

According to the current homeowner,

Bai sold his house due to urgently needing money for his treatment.

By the way,

his girlfriend handled the transaction,

and the property transfer hasn't been completed yet.

At that time, Captain He and I were downstairs

and witnessed Bai Guowei's fall.

From his attending doctor,

we learned

that Bai Guowei was in the advanced stages of cancer,

relying solely on medication

as no surgical options left.

His girlfriend had been caring for him all this time,

so

The whole "selling the house for treatment"

doesn't entirely hold up.

Additionally,

I learned from his ward nurse

that Bai Guowei was usually prone to emotional outbursts.

It could be

that the pain from his advanced-stage cancer

was too much

and he had previously shown signs of suicidal thoughts.

So I think

that Bai Guowei may have committed suicide.

Anyway, he died quite suddenly.

Based on the scene,

we can't entirely rule out homicide.

I have a feeling that this case...

is definitely not that simple.

Yes.

I agree with Captain He.

There must be more to this case.

Director,

and

regarding the large amount of cash found in his house,

the Criminal Investigation Division has collected evidence

both at the hospital and at the construction site.

The photos,

fingerprints, footprints, and other details from the scene

are all here.

Besides, the coroner will perform an autopsy

to determine Bai Guowei's cause of death.

When will the autopsy result come out?

The lab said

that it'll be ready by tomorrow at the earliest.

Okay.

Based on your analysis and report,

Bai Guowei's death...

is very unusual.

To be more precise,

his death is suspicious.

Why did he choose that very time

to jump off the building?

As police officers,

we need

sharp instincts

and sound judgment.

There's a lot more to this case

than meets the eye.

Economic Crime Investigation Division,

send someone immediately

to assist He Fei.

Let's start with Bai's financial accounts during his employment.

As soon as the autopsy results are out,

report to me immediately.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

[Huaxin Bank Shuangyang Branch]

[Zhao Guangda, President]

Come in.

Guangda.

Fei?

What brings you here today?

Come on.

Have a seat.

How's your sister's condition?

Is she doing better?

She's stable for now.

Let me know if you need help.

Don't try to shoulder everything alone,

understand?

Guangda,

we're here today to ask about some matters related to your work.

What matters?

Was Bai Guowei your employee?

Yes,

yes.

We want to know how he was performing at the bank.

Bai

was our senior employee.

He was promoted to Head of the Loan Department four years ago.

He was always diligent

and ambitious in his work.

Oh.

Here's the thing.

We

Just found a lot of cash

in the house he recently sold.

It's estimated

to be over 20 million yuan.

Given his income,

it seems unlikely that he could have saved that much, right?

That much?

Goodness.

Even I, as the president,

can't make that much.

Now that you mention it,

I do recall something.

A few months ago,

the higher-ups suddenly ordered

an investigation into non-performing loans,

and he was one of the primary targets.

There were irregularities in some of the loans

he processed.

Did you find anything?

Not long

after the investigation started,

it seems

that he was hospitalized due to cancer.

Then,

the investigation progress

has been delayed.

So now,

we don't have any conclusions yet.

But...

our bank

should also expedite

an internal review.

If we find anything important,

I'll let you know in time.

Okay,

then, we'll get going.

We'll leave you to it.

Sit a bit longer.

You're leaving...

We have other cases.

Okay.

Fei,

call me if anything happens.

[Police]

Jingjing.

Come here.

Captain He.

Bai Guowei's autopsy report is out.

Injected with an overdose of sedatives.

This guy was definitely killed.

Is the Director here?

There.

Let's go.

- [This is just a warning. You only have three more days.] - [Luo Long]

[Decline] [Answer]

[Fatty Wen]

The autopsy report shows

Bai Guowei's blood contained a large amount of sedatives.

According to hospital records,

he was admitted with advanced-stage liver cancer.

So he had no reason to be on sedatives.

And I asked the doctor,

and he didn't have any symptoms of insomnia either.

So, logically,

why would a person without sleep issues

need a heavy dose of sedatives?

Then...

what's the purpose

of the forced administration of sedatives?

The purpose...

was most likely

to lower his mental defenses.

Or, under the influence of a sedative-induced trance,

someone may have tried to extract information from him,

as this drug

will put people in an unconscious state.

If Bai Guowei had been unconscious

and had no action ability,

it is possible that he could have been lured

into jumping off the building

or falling from the building.

Well,

be bold.

To put it boldly,

then his death

wasn't an accident.

Someone must have deliberately staged the scene to look like a suicide,

to cover up the source of that 20 million yuan.

You mean...

someone deliberately cut off the clues

to hinder us from investigating.

Clues.

Oh,

right.

It's very likely connected to the money hidden in the walls

and the non-performing loans

from his time at the bank.

Then, who was so scared of him spilling these secrets?

If Bai Guowei had managed to hold on a bit longer,

we'd be in serious danger, Boss.

Exactly.

That's why we're the ones capable of handling big things.

Well,

Long.

Yeah.

Have all the things for Mr. Kong been delivered?

Yes,

dropped it off this morning.

Boss,

we do all the dirty work

while he gets the lion's share.

The world is so unfair.

Unfair?

Everyone has their own fate;

we've got to accept it,

right?

Make sure to collect what the nurse owes us.

That girl

is pretty.

What a shame.

[Police]

Captain He,

no one had entered Bai Guowei's room

except for the medical staff.

[Hallway No. 2 on the 8th floor]

So, that last nurse to go in

is the most suspicious.

Then let's start by investigating the medical staff.

This nurse

was the last one to approach Bai Guowei.

Let me finish my noodles,

then we'll go to the hospital to question her.

Okay.

Jingjing, look at this nurse.

She seemed a bit fidgety.

[Hallway No. 2 on the 8th floor]

Look,

she was touching her ears again.

You just think she's pretty, don't you?

Am I that kind of person?

Besides,

I can barely make out her face on the security footage.

Xiong,

zoom in a bit more

so that I can take a closer look.

Get lost.

I don't have time for that.

What's there to see, anyway?

Let's go.

Let's take another look.

You're done already?

Hold up.

[Building 2]

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

We'd like to see the nurse who cared for Bai Guowei.

You mean Xi Xiulan?

Yes.

She's on leave.

On leave?

Yes.

She took a leave after the patient fell from the building.

I think she was scared,

so she didn't come to work today.

Well...

Do you have her phone number?

I do.

I can give her a call for you.

A nurse who faces life and death every day

suddenly takes leave after a patient's incident?

That's very suspicious.

She didn't answer.

It's strange

that we can't reach her at this time.

Oh, right,

do you have her address?

Yes.

In Hunnan Street...

- No, Hunnan District. - Okay.

Please give me her

home address and phone number.

Okay.

She lives in the Hongqi Residential Complex, Hunnan District.

Why didn't you answer the phone?

I got so caught up with the case.

What do you want from me?

Nothing.

Don't eat so fast.

You haven't eaten all day again?

This is my first meal today.

Waiter,

get me some garlic.

Coming.

Freshly peeled.

Is it enough?

You're an adult,

yet you're still making me worry about you.

You should find a woman to take care of you;

then I wouldn't have to worry so much.

By the way,

your sister has been in pretty good condition lately.

Focus on your case;

don't worry about her.

I've got it covered.

Who asked you to worry about me?

You're acting like my sister.

You did really invite me just for dinner, right?

What else could there possibly be?

Alright,

I still have a case to work on.

I have to work overtime tonight.

Send me back to the station first.

Well,

are you in such a rush?

Yes.

Wait a minute.

Fei.

I want to borrow some money.

I knew it! You definitely need something.

How much?

20,000 yuan, maybe?

Do I look like I have 20,000 yuan lying around?

Right now, I'm completely broke.

My sister's hospital bills still need money;

how could I have any?

I was just saying.

Just kidding.

Go.

Go back to your work.

When I'm done, I'll go visit our sister,

okay?

[He Fei]

This kid.

Ah.

[Creating a Civilized City Drives Development; Building for People's Well-Being]

Found her.

Jingjing, come with me.

Okay.

Have you got the money?

Let's still meet at that place.

Captain He,

you were staring at that car for so long.

Do you really like it?

Why don't you buy one too?

Stop it.

How can I afford that car?

Well, then...

I'll buy you one.

If you really have the money, lend it to me,

okay?

My sister is waiting for surgery at the hospital.

You're looking down on me.

Stop messing around.

Hey,

Director Wang said you're meticulous and can read people's minds.

But I think

you are nothing.

Let's get to work quickly.

Stop talking nonsense.

[1 notification]

[Mr. Kong] [1]

Is this girl pretty?

The Boss has plans for her tonight.

Let's take her to our car later.

Ian,

come over to my place to hang out, huh?

Help!

Let go of me!

Ah!

What are you doing?

Boss.

The money!

Forget about the money; hurry and chase after her!

Ah!

Hello?

Don't worry.

I've taken care of everything.

[Building 2]

He Fei,

come here.

Doctor.

Don't worry about

the hospitalization fee.

Someone has already paid for it.

Someone has already paid for it?

Yes,

you've been moved to the top of the waiting list.

As soon as

a matching liver is available,

we can proceed with the surgery.

However,

this will take some time.

Don't worry.

I'll inform you when the time comes,

and then you can pay the surgery fee.

Okay,

thank you, doctor.

Oh.

You two talk.

I'll leave you to it.

Guangda,

you...

For your sister.

You paid for the surgery?

Yes.

Don't mention it; we're brothers.

Go in.

Guangda,

you're so considerate.

I don't even know how to thank you.

Here you go again.

Don't mention it.

She's asleep?

Yes.

Who is he?

Oh,

this is Zhao.

Guangda,

this is my best friend,

Peiwen.

Zhao,

where do you work?

I work at a bank.

That's good.

The job is stable,

and the pay is good.

Hehehe.

Peiwen, what do you do?

Well.

When I was in the UK,

I was in international trade.

A purchasing agent.

Oh.

Now,

I mainly work in the transportation industry.

Good.

Though transportation is a bit tough.

Enough, Peiwen.

Transportation?

Brother Zhao's one of us.

There's no need for all that.

He

Is a bank president.

A bank president?

He Fei.

He's the president of a bank.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Ah?

You...

You just arranged for us to eat here?

It's okay.

I just like this kind of food.

Oh.

Look.

Zhao is so easy-going.

He's not arrogant at all.

Waiter.

Here.

Bring us a couple of chicken racks.

Pick the fattest ones!

Okay.

Come on!

Come on!

You ended up killing someone just for collecting a debt,

huh?

I just got you out,

and you caused trouble for me again.

What the hell were you thinking?

The heat is on right now!

She's dead!

Won't they trace it back to you?

Huh?

Won't they?

Won't they?

Boss.

We always traded at that place.

And there shouldn't be

any surveillance there.

There shouldn't be?

There shouldn't be?

There shouldn't be?

Next time you go out to handle something for me,

be careful.

If you mess up again, you're on your own.

Got it?

Has everything been collected?

Yes.

Don't let Mr. Kong

know about this.

We received the report this morning.

The body was found by two treasure hunters with a metal detector.

[Police]

Captain He.

Why

does it seem like whoever we try to investigate ends up having an accident?

Maybe

it means that we're on the right track.

The coroner just said this isn't the first crime scene.

There are large impact marks on the body.

It may be a death caused by being struck by a car.

She died in a car accident?

We'll wait for the autopsy results

to see if there are any clues.

Xi Xiulan's death is too strange.

It feels like she was silenced.

Captain He,

think about it.

Xi Xiulan is Bai Guowei's ward nurse.

Could it be that

she killed Bai Guowei?

Maybe someone wanted to silence her,

so he killed her.

That makes sense.

Inform Zhang Xiong

to pull all surveillance within a five-kilometer radius.

I don't believe we won't find some clues.

I'll find it no matter what.

Okay.

[Public Security]

[Police]

[Police]

[Public Security]

Captain He.

I found it.

Look.

Xiong.

That's right.

She was last seen here, I think.

Captain He.

The car is here.

Captain He.

It's obvious this car hasn't been moved for several days.

[Loan Contract]

Captain He,

here's 100 yuan.

[Golf Club]

Put the wine up there.

Is your manager here?

He's not here today.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

[Golf Club]

Do you know why I arrested you?

Do you know her?

I have nothing to do with Xi Xiulan's death.

I didn't kill her.

Tell me.

How did you know Xi Xiulan is dead?

Huh?

Xi Xiulan isn't dead?

I misspoke.

I'll say it again.

What's your relationship with Xi Xiulan?

I have nothing to do with her.

Let me put it this way.

She owed us money.

And I was just responsible for

collecting the debt from her.

She gave me the money,

I left,

and that's it.

Then why did she owe you money?

She owed money to our company.

Ah.

She borrowed money to invest in Bitcoin,

but ended up losing everything.

I've asked her to pay back several times.

This time, she said

she got the money,

so I arranged to meet her.

That night, I arranged to meet her.

It's only right to pay the debt,

right?

I was just responsible for asking her for the money.

How do you explain this?

I didn't kill

Xi Xiulan.

Who can prove that?

I have a dash cam in my car.

You can check the footage

and you'll know if I'm telling the truth.

Look.

[Road surveillance]

This car.

I've seen it in several videos.

Isn't this the car that was in front of Xi Xiulan's building?

I've even told you about this.

Pull the surveillance from in front of her building

and compare the footage.

Okay.

[Road surveillance]

It looks like

Xi Xiulan's being hit wasn't an accident.

We need to expand the search area.

Find this car first.

Yes.

The situation is getting too tense.

We need to make a plan.

Yes.

I just got Luo Long out.

Otherwise,

I really don't know what to do.

Gather the sheep

that were let out

before the wolves

get them.

Yes.

I'll listen to you.

Seal the accounts

and put everything

on hold now.

As for that matter,

someone else will take the blame.

What's there to worry about?

Hahaha.

Long,

I'm here to pay you back.

Okay.

There's still 20,000 in interest to go.

Go and raise it.

Come on, Long,

please check it again.

Didn't I only owe you 40,000?

Why is there more?

Interest isn't calculated like that.

Even if you only owe one yuan,

ah,

the interest still gets calculated based on 100,000.

Understand?

It's the standard practice.

That's just how it is.

You've gone too far.

Gone too far?

Next time,

it won't be as simple as just a photo.

Don't threaten me with my kids.

Who the hell is threatening you?

Ah?

We run a legitimate business

and collect debts in a civilized manner.

You sure are civilized.

Who are you talking about?

Who do you think you are?

Darn it!

Ouch!

[Golf Club]

Stop!

Who asked you to come in?

Get out!

Get out!

Why is he here?

Who is he?

You don't even know who he is?

Just someone who owes us money.

Don't be so nervous.

He's a friend of He Fei, the captain of the criminal police.

He might have seen me.

Wen.

Hahaha!

I was a bit rude yesterday.

Don't take it to heart,

okay?

Men

always have their impulsive moments.

Right?

Hahaha!

Why aren't you responding?

This is your contract.

This is your IOU.

This is the 40,000 you paid back yesterday.

Our boss said

to give you an additional 20,000

for medical expenses.

Our accounts are all settled.

All...

all settled?

From now on,

our accounts

are all settled,

and there will be no more ties between us.

Understand?

Did you...

see anything yesterday?

I saw you hit me.

Hahaha!

Okay.

Enjoy your meal.

He Fei,

are you free tonight?

What is it?

Let me tell you, it's something good.

I have to celebrate with you.

Order whatever you want.

Did you strike it rich?

Are you going to pay me back?

How do you know I'm going to pay you back?

I know you so well.

Hey.

Guess who I saw yesterday?

I'm busy now.

I'll talk to you later.

Dang!

What...

What's wrong with the brake?

Did everything go well?

Of course.

You didn't leave any clues?

Of course I didn't.

Don't be so confident.

You must

make sure everything is foolproof.

You're not confident in my work?

I never leave clues

Really?

But someone saw that nurse, Xi Xiulan,

on Bar Street yesterday.

The person you buried with your own hands reappeared.

You call that foolproof?

Now,

come with me to verify your confidence.

[Public Security]

Captain He.

Jingjing.

Yes?

Do me a favor

and check the cause of Shang Peiwen's car accident.

Okay.

Captain He,

You need to pull yourself together.

We still have many cases to solve,

Okay?

By the way,

I saw a woman on the road

who looked very much like Xi Xiulan.

Have Zhang Xiong

pull the surveillance footage from the section of Sanhao Street and Xingfu Street.

I'm not sure if I saw it wrong.

Okay.

But they really look alike.

Report to me immediately

if you find anything.

Okay.

I'll check it now.

Don't smoke too much.

I'm sorry about the expense.

Come on.

Judging by your complexion,

you seem much better now.

It's all thanks to Ms. Zhou's care

that I was able to recover so quickly.

Yes.

My illness

has been a burden

on Fei all these years.

He is your brother.

It's only right for him

to do anything for you.

Yes.

It's my duty.

Guangda,

when did you come?

I've been here for a while.

I was chatting with your sister.

Hey.

Fei,

listen to me,

don't wear yourself out.

The caregiver is always here.

By the way,

your friend

is also coming around often, right?

Yes.

Why haven't I seen Peiwen these days?

It's late.

I should go.

Have a good rest.

Okay.

Let Fei see you off.

Fei.

Fei.

See him off.

He's leaving.

Okay.

I'm leaving.

Have a good rest.

Did something happen?

Shang Peiwen is dead.

What?

Life is unpredictable.

Don't be too sad.

I'm leaving.

Take care of Jing.

Okay.

Hello,

Captain He.

We found something new.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

What did you find?

See?

[Loan Contract]

This is the loan contract found in Shang Peiwen's bag.

From this, we can deduce that

he had borrowed money from a loan shark.

I've checked this company,

and the legal representative is called Ma Deli.

Also,

Shang Peiwen's brake lines

were intentionally cut.

His death wasn't an accident.

His last call log

includes someone we know.

Who?

Luo Long.

Should we arrest him again?

Don't alert him.

He's probably just a subordinate.

Today, the economic investigation department also got some information.

They found that

during Bai Guowei's tenure,

he had transferred a large amount of low-interest loans

to the company under Ma Deli's name.

Also, Captain He,

I've found a new lead on Xi Xiulan.

Her real name is Li Xiaoxia.

Look.

[Li Xiaoxia, Female]

Li Xiaoxia looks extremely similar to Xi Xiulan.

I thought so.

How could I run into a dead person in broad daylight?

Li Xiaoxia?

Isn't Bai Guowei's girlfriend also called Li Xiaoxia?

Yes.

That's the Li Xiaoxia.

[Li Xiaoxia, Female]

[Name: Xi Xiulan] [Name: Li Xiaoxia]

This is their information.

I also found out that

they're identical twins.

[Name: Xi Xiulan] [Name: Li Xiaoxia]

[Shuangyang City Orphanage Records]

These are photos of them as children in the orphanage.

Xi Xiulan and Li Xiaoxia are twin orphans.

[Shuangyang City Orphanage Records]

The younger sister was luckier.

After being adopted from the orphanage,

she was renamed Li Xiaoxia.

The older sister,

completed her studies with the help of kind-hearted people

[Shuangyang City Orphanage Records]

And became a nurse.

[Recent Photo of Xi Xiulan]

So, I suspect that

these two sisters must have kept in contact all along.

Otherwise, why would Bai Guowei

stay in Xi Xiulan's hospital?

If I were her,

I'd feel more at ease

with my sister there.

By the way,

there's something we overlooked earlier.

The autopsy report on Xi Xiulan

showed that

she was two months pregnant.

[Xi Xiulan, Female]

Pregnant?

Yes.

We did a background check.

Xi Xiulan

didn't have a boyfriend,

and her life was rather simple.

But Li Xiaoxia was different;

her boyfriend was Bai Guowei.

[Xi Xiulan, Female]

[Xi Xiulan, Female]

Let's analyze the case from the beginning.

Li Xiaoxia sold her house

to pay for Bai Guowei's medical treatment.

She was unaware of the money hidden in the wall.

When we arrived at the hospital,

Bai Guowei happened to fall to his death.

The autopsy revealed a large amount of sedatives in his body,

which suggests that someone likely staged his suicide

to conceal the source of the stolen money.

Shortly after,

we found Xi Xiulan to be suspicious,

and she ended up dead too.

[Xi Xiulan, Female]

But her death was no accident;

it was a deliberate murder.

Xi Xiulan had borrowed money from Luo Long's company

before her death.

She was killed in a car accident while repaying the debt.

Similarly, Shang Peiwen also borrowed money from Luo Long's company,

and his brake lines were deliberately cut

after he repaid his debt.

So,

[Xi Xiulan, Female]

We need to pay attention to

someone who has never appeared before.

That's Luo Long's boss behind the scenes,

Ma Deli.

Next,

we need to focus on Ma Deli

and uncover the real causes of death for Bai Guowei,

Xi Xiulan, and Shang Peiwen.

Initially, I thought these were separate cases,

but now it seems that

we can merge them.

There may be

even more powerful forces

operating behind the scenes.

The tech department just sent word.

They've found Li Xiaoxia's whereabouts.

Hurry.

Captain He.

Yes.

I know.

Don't bother me with small projects;

handle it yourself,

[Star Company]

Okay?

Beauty.

Are you alone?

You are so beautiful.

I bet you have a beautiful name.

Just call me Li Xiaoxia.

Okay.

Now let me carefully examine

whether you're Li Xiaoxia

or Xi Xiulan.

Who are you?

You want to run?

What are you doing?

You still want to run?

You...

What are you doing?

Police!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Here.

Have some water.

Are you Li Xiaoxia?

[Corridor No. 2 on the 8th floor]

Is Xi Xiulan your sister?

Yes.

What's your relationship with Bai Guowei?

He's my boyfriend.

Do you know

how Xi Xiulan died?

I don't know how she died.

I've been really upset about it.

I've been timid since I was a child,

and after Bai Guowei jumped off the building,

I felt even more at a loss about what to do.

So, I thought having a drink might help me relax.

But I didn't expect

this would happen.

Hey.

Have you

had folic acid recently?

Folic acid?

Yes.

Xi Xiulan.

Yes?

Seems that you don't know about Li Xiaoxia's pregnancy.

She's pregnant?

Tell us.

Why did you pretend to be Li Xiaoxia?

I had no choice.

That day, I got a phone call from Luo Long.

We agreed to go to a place together to pay the money back.

But Bai Guowei died so suddenly.

I was afraid I would get involved.

So I asked my sister to go for me.

But I didn't expect

she had an accident.

I was really scared.

So I could only hide myself

with my sister's identity.

Xi Xiulan,

head back to the police station with us.

Tell me.

How did Bai Guowei die?

That day...

Yes.

On the day Bai Guowei fell from the building,

I received a call.

He said he was a friend of Bai Guowei.

He wanted to ask Bai Guowei about something.

But he didn't want others to find out.

He asked me to help him get into the hospital.

Then he would give me a large sum of money.

It would be so easy for me to do what he asked.

I had no reason to refuse him.

I naively thought

I was finally lucky.

I didn't expect

when I brought him into Bai Guowei's ward,

he asked me to give him a tranquilizer.

After...

After that...

After that,

I watched him push him down without doing anything.

I was so scared at that time.

This is murder.

I had a hand in it as well.

Do you still remember the one

you brought in?

I only know

Bai Guowei called him Mr. Kong.

By the way,

when Bai Guowei was in a coma,

he called him president.

Mr. Kong

is just an honorific title.

[Corridor No. 1 on the 7th floor]

On the day Bai Guowei...

On the day Bai Guowei fell from the building,

I received a call.

A call.

He said he was a friend of Bai Guowei.

In your view...

In your view,

could Mr. Kong

know Bai Guowei as well?

Xi Xiulan didn't lie.

[Corridor No. 1 on the 7th floor]

[No input signal]

Mr. Kong.

Could he know Ma Deli?

Bai Guowei and Ma Deli

used the bank's low-interest loan to help him with money laundering.

Why would you be available today?

You even asked me here.

Guangda, have you forgotten?

You brought me here before.

Right.

You do have a good memory.

You still remember it.

I will never

forget your kindness to me in this life.

What's wrong with you?

Are you in a bad mood today?

Is there something you need from me?

My sister was successfully matched.

I think you should be the first one

to learn about the good news.

Really?

Wow.

This is great news!

Come on.

Today,

let us

have a good drink.

This is

to wish Jing

a successful surgery

and a speedy recovery.

Come on.

Well,

you're not in a good state today.

Have you

been too tired recently?

Unfortunately, Peiwen can't hear the good news

from me.

Things are unpredictable.

No one can predict what will happen.

On the day Peiwen left,

he said he had something to tell me.

What is it?

Guangda.

I don't think

Peiwen's death is an accident.

Not an accident?

Did he offend someone?

Only he knows the answer.

Well,

don't overthink it.

Things are unpredictable.

The living

should still get on with their lives.

Right?

[Refuse] [Answer]

[Mr. Kong]

Mr. Kong,

what can I do for you?

What's going on there?

Why is the number wrong?

Oh?

Well, no way.

What I ordered

has never gone wrong.

Then why is there so much missing?

Cool down.

Let's leave it be for now.

I guess

something happened.

Later,

I'll ask Luo Long about it.

Don't play tricks with me.

Whether our boat is stable

depends on the trust between you and me.

Mr. Kong,

easy.

Well.

Look...

Look...

There's no need to emphasize trust.

Don't you know who I am?

No issues have ever happened

between us, right?

Did he lose the track of sheep?

Hey,

impossible.

The sheep is on the way.

It's windy.

Right?

Move slowly

and take care.

It's natural.

Hey,

besides,

if he runs into wolves on the way,

what should I say to you?

Since Long is taking care of it,

you can rest assured.

Before tonight,

I'll need to see the missing part!

Boss.

Boss.

Shut up!

How did you send Mr. Kong the money?

The number is not right!

Did you take some of it yourself?

Well, Boss!

Yes.

The number is wrong.

Boss,

I did it on purpose.

You...

I didn't tell you before.

It's my fault.

I...

Why?

When the birds are gone, the bow is stored.

When the cunning rabbit dies...

What birds? What rabbit?

Don't make excuses!

Just say it!

As to how Bai Guowei died,

do you really think he committed suicide?

And Xi Xiulan.

Shang Peiwen.

Who did all these things?

Boss,

we have to think of a way out for ourselves.

Damn it.

He's so cruel.

What if...

Boss, I mean what if...

What if we are no longer useful to him,

we will be abandoned.

What do you think?

At that time,

we won't even get to know what leads to our death!

If I give him everything,

we'll be of no use.

Long.

You

have become smarter.

You've become smarter!

Hurry.

Hurry and pack all the money

for me.

We need to prepare for a way out.

Okay.

Okay.

Boss, I...

I'll get on with it now.

Go!

Okay.

All the money!

Bro,

is this your car?

It looks nice.

How much did you spend on buying it?

I want to buy one too.

Take care, bro!

[Mr. Kong]

The wind is coming.

Get the sheep back.

It's time to change the shepherd dog.

Okay.

Got it.

Hello?

I found that car.

I'll follow him.

Hello?

Captain He.

Jingjing found that car.

Where is it?

Hunnan.

She's following it.

Send me the location.

Okay.

That's all?

Most money hasn't been taken back.

There is some money in the cabinet.

Put them all in for me!

Okay.

Mr. Kong is right.

What is it?

Where are you going?

Go back and tell Mr. Kong

everything's ready.

Later,

we'll send it to you.

What?

My sister was transferred to another hospital?

When?

Where's my sister?

Don't worry.

Your sister is fine.

But,

her life is in my hands.

If you want to keep your sister safe,

come here yourself.

Remember,

don't tell anyone.

Let's have a talk.

There's nothing

we can't talk, right?

Oh, right.

[Surveillance Camera 14] [South Side]

Don't forget to bring the USB flash disk here.

[Surveillance Camera 14] [South Side]

Fei,

you're so immature.

But it doesn't matter.

We can find a way to solve our own problem

ourselves.

Where's my sister?

Don't worry.

Your sister is safe.

I won't easily do anything to your sister.

Come here.

Let's talk.

What's there to talk about?

I can't believe you're the mastermind!

I always thought you were my good brother.

But how have you become like this?

You have no right to criticize me.

All these years,

without me,

you two wouldn't have led such a good life.

Stop talking nonsense.

You used Xi Xiulan to kill Bai Guowei.

I should have known from the very beginning

that Bai Guowei wouldn't do such things without your knowledge!

Who told you that?

Let me ask you one question.

Why did you kill Peiwen?

Because

he saw me somewhere he shouldn't have seen me.

So I had no choice.

If he hadn't known you,

he wouldn't have died.

So,

you got him killed.

Fei.

I won't ask for anything else.

I just want you to let me off this time.

Well,

the money in this box

and the money in the safe.

Oh,

by the way,

and this house.

These are all yours.

Everything here

is yours and Jing's.

What do you think?

All you have to do is pretend you've never seen me.

You want to bribe me?

You can't earn all these things and money

even if you're a police officer for ten lifetimes!

Yes.

I should be excited about it.

But if I take the money,

I'll be just like you.

Does it matter?

In this world,

it's not all black and white!

How can you distinguish the boundary?

I'm a police officer!

I have to know what's black and white!

I have to live up to the responsibility!

You must come with me today!

Don't act so noble.

Without me,

you could only have watched your sister die.

Let me tell you, He Fei.

Don't be so ungrateful!

Have you forgotten how I helped you back then?

You're such an ungrateful soul!

Fei,

you can't do this to our benefactor.

No matter what he did wrong,

we can't be ungrateful to him.

Sister,

he killed Peiwen!

Guangda.

You...

Ah!

What are you doing?

Don't come over!

Let go of my sister!

He Fei,

I really don't want to go this far with you.

Don't push me.

Huh?

Everything

is your fault!

Let my sister go!

Don't come over!

I know you won't do anything stupid.

Don't come near me!

Back off!

Back off!

Let go of my sister!

Back off!

Ah!

[Office Building]

[Drive Slowly]

Fei,

what are you doing?

I'm your own brother!

Let me be straight with you today.

That year, Father brought you into this world in violation of the policy.

He was afraid of being punished,

so he kept you in He family secretly.

Your surname is Zhao.

We are real brothers!

[Drive Slowly]

Are you going to arrest your own brother?

Guangda.

I know.

I saw a family photo in your home.

But,

I'm a police officer.

You can't escape.

Guangda.

Don't keep being so stubborn!

You can't escape!

We've still come this far in the end.

You should have thought about it.

Yeah.

But falling into your hand

doesn't mean a loss to me.

I remember when you were little,

we climbed the wall together.

At that time,

you were the youngest

and shortest.

We were all standing up there.

You were so anxious down there and kept jumping.

But,

you stepped on stones one by one,

which were stacked

against the wall.

Finally,

you climbed up.

At that time, I thought

you would never give up.

To my surprise,

you haven't changed

even after you grew up.

Some

just won't change.

You know me.

You know I won't kill you.

That's why you can catch me.

Don't you think so?

Hurry! Hurry!

Captain He!

Cheers!

Captain He.

Now that the case is closed,

you can have time to stay with your sister for her surgery.

This is a gift from everyone.

The password is your birthday.

How could it be from everyone?

It

Is all

from Jingjing.

Her dowry and private savings.

Xiong,

what are you talking about?

You won't refuse it,

will you?

Come on,

Captain He.

Here.

Let me propose a toast.

I wish

your sister could get well soon.

Okay.

Get well soon.

Cheers.

Come on.

Cheers.

[BLACK AND WHITE BOUNDED]

The death of Bai Guowei...

I'm sorry.

Let's do it again.

Bai Guowei's death...

Well, Bai Guowei's death...

- Is abnormal. - Is abnormal.

He...

One, two, three, four!

Come on, ready.

One, two, three!

One, two, three!

One person can sweep away thousands of soldiers...

I can't breathe anymore.

It's not strong at all!

As long as Bai Guowei is here...

It's not strong at all.

Ready, go!

It's not that I don't understand. The world changes fast.

Okay. Come on.

One, two, three!

Harder!

Harder!

Harder. Hold on. Hold on.

Don't drag me for too long. I can't...

Don't serve chicken butts!

What were you thinking?

Well... You...

I forgot the lines.
