【ENG SUB】In The Name Of Justice EP07 | Zhang Yi / Li Guangjie / Jiang Xin | YOUKU
Don’t just have porridge. Eat an egg. I can do it myself, Mom. Hurry. Take a handful. Are you full? Yeah. – Gotta go.
– Now? Hurry. Your dad already left. Quick. We should eat slowly and chew well. You have five minutes. My name is Qiao Zhenxing. Have some milk. That’s too dry. I’m a prosecutor
at Dongping People’s Procuratorate. Today… Why are you still home? Is the first day of court… – What are you watching?
– For the Wan Hai case. I can’t live with the guilt anymore because I am the umbrella
shielding Wan Hai’s criminal outfit. Wan Hai is on trial, and I am being judged too. I admit it. I took Wan Hai’s money and promised to clear his name. [In the Name of Justice] [Episode 7] I began as a common man… I began as a common man… Farming in my fields in Nanyang… Farming in my fields in Nanyang… Concerned only to survive
in a troubled age. Concerned only to survive
in a troubled age. Principal. Ms. Zhou. The police officers need to talk to you. Take a seat, please. I’m sorry, Mei, but this all came up suddenly. It’s urgent, so we need you to come here to do a simple… Have you caught the person? Mei, we’ve asked you here today to learn some other things about Qiao. Do you know if he had financial dealings with anyone before he died or any private loans that you weren’t aware of? Let’s put it this way. Has there been any unexplained money in your bank account this past year? Or did he have any bad habits, such as gambling? Did he borrow cash from someone? Is it possible that Qiao did something – without…
– Stop. What do you mean? Just say it. Okay. I’ll be blunt then. We received a report that Qiao Zhenxing took a large bribe in the middle of last year. Are you aware of this? If this is true, do you know where he hid the money? Yang Jing, show her the phone. Mei, take a look. Is this Qiao’s cellphone? Don’t touch it. It’s… It’s Qiao’s. Play it. My name is Qiao Zhenxing. I’m a prosecutor
at Dongping People’s Procuratorate. Today is the first day of court
for the Wan Hai case. Isn’t this Director Qiao
from First Division? He died recently. You just found out? People’ve been talking for a while. I can’t live with the guilt anymore. He’s the umbrella? Yeah. Because I am… Because I am the umbrella
shielding Wan Hai’s criminal outfit. Wan Hai is on trial, and I am being judged too. I admit I took Wan Hai’s money… Why are you still home? And promised to clear his name. What are you watching? I’ve failed the Party and the nation that trained me. Every step that led me here was my own mistake. I brought this on myself, and I deserve whatever punishment comes. Death would not be too much. Zhou Mei. Ran. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I don’t want to drag you down. I’m leaving. Take care of yourselves. Stay well. Let’s go inside. Mei, this is the search warrant. Take a look. Li, search there with him. You guys search here. Search everything. What are you doing? Be careful. Clean up after yourselves. Qiao Yiran, apologize to Liu Meiqi. Why? Because her mom was bullied by gangsters when she set up her stall. What’s that got to do with me? You should apologize
on your dad’s behalf. My dad didn’t hit her. But he was the protector
of the criminal organization! Even if he’s dead,
he was still a corrupt official! He got what he deserved! He wasn’t corrupt! Stop fighting! Stop it! My dad wasn’t corrupt! He was! He wasn’t! Stop fighting! Stop! He was a big-time corrupt official! Stop fighting! You two, stop fighting! Your dad was corrupt! He wasn’t! He totally was! Captain Jiang! What’s up? There’s cash under the bed. Lift it. Okay. Come on. My name is Qiao Zhenxing. I’m a prosecutor
at Dongping People’s Procuratorate. Today is the first day of court
for the Wan Hai case. Mr. Li. Where did you get this? Mr. Li. Mr. Li. Bad news. Something big happened to Qiao. I already know. Does Director Zhang know? Which one? The one from the Supervisory Commission. Probably not. I don’t know. Let him know. Hurry! Okay. Okay. Mr. Li. Officers from the sub-bureau
of Development Zone found cash at Qiao’s house. There’s suspicion he took bribes. They’re still at Qiao’s place. Mr. Li, where are you going? Qiao Zhenxing’s home! You can’t go right now. First, the investigation is still ongoing. Second, if Qiao really did that, you will only get yourself into trouble. Is there any more? No, that’s it. How much? Three million. It matches. Captain Jiang, this isn’t our money. I understand. No, you don’t. It’s not what’s going on. Zhou Biao must have lied. Qiao wasn’t that kind of person. Zhou Mei, the evidence is solid. It was just pulled from under your bed, and it matches Zhou Biao’s testimony. What else do you want to say? No way. You must be mistaken. We’ve never seen that money in this house. Captain Jiang, let me talk to Zhou Biao. I have to ask him why he lied and framed Qiao. He’s clearly making this up! Zhou Mei! The entire search was recorded. I know. Do you understand? Evidence bag? Here you are. Pack it up. Zhou Mei, we’ll take this illegal money with us. Hello. Ms. Zhou. Qiao Yiran got into a fight at school. You’d better come to my office now. What happened? I’m sorry, Director. Director, what happened? Her classmates said she had a quarrel with some classmates after PE class. But somehow it turned into a fight. Did you look into it? She called my dad a corrupt official! Why shouldn’t I fight back? Your dad was… Mei. Mei, I understand your family is dealing
with stuff now, but you still have to take care of your child, right? Zhou… It hurts! Mom! It hurts! Mom! Now you know it hurts? Who taught you to fight? Why did you fight? Is this what your dad and I taught you? To start fights at school? You like fighting, huh? Then forget school. Take off the uniform. You don’t act like a student anyway. Take it off! Go ahead. Be a fighter. You trying to drive me mad? Like things aren’t messy enough already? How did you hit them? You even bit someone? Go ahead. Bite me! Come on, bite! Open your mouth! Show me how you bit them! They called my dad a corrupt official. But he wasn’t. I’m sorry, Mom. I won’t fight anymore. Mom, I’m sorry. Let me see. Any other bruises? Mom. What happened? Why did the video end up online? Ms. Lan, that was my mistake. Let’s all sit down and talk. Sit. Sun Fei, update Ms. Lan on what we found about the video source. Okay. Ms. Lan. According to our investigation, the video of Qiao Zhenxing wasn’t leaked from within the Police. The first upload happened before we got his phone. Our cyber team analyzed the account. The phone number was newly registered, and it used a virtual IP address, so we couldn’t trace the source. We suspect someone hacked Qiao’s phone and got the video. Many people are following
the Wan Hai case. Posting it online was probably to attract more attention. So we can’t control it? We’ve… We’re just letting it spiral? We’ve already tried. But we’re short of time and hands. Sun Fei, I can assign more people
if you’re short-handed. If we’re almost done investigating the Qiao Zhenxing case, we should clear things up and give the public an explanation. We will. The Qiao Zhenxing case is truly shocking. As a leader, I must take responsibility. We must stay vigilant. There’s no room for carelessness
in clean governance. All of us here hold power entrusted by the Party and the people. If we use it for personal gain,
take bribes, or break the law, we will lose everything. We must live up to the trust of the 6.6 million people of Dongping. Mr. Zhou, when can we get our salaries? I’m heading out for a few days. Keep an eye on it for me. Alright. Mr. Zhou. Why did you say Qiao took the money? When did he take any money? Speak! Mei, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to. I hurt you, and I hurt Zhenxing. Why did you do that? Don’t ask. It was for your own good. What do you mean, for our good? He’s already gone. No point in talking about this now. Let’s go. Explain it to the Police. Let’s go! Mei, we can’t! I’ll tell you the truth. Someone threatened him
with you and Ran and put the money under your bed. They forced me to report it to the Police, saying it came from Wan Hai. Who were they? Don’t ask! Mei, they poured boiling water on my hand. They locked me up, starved me, and didn’t let me sleep. You almost never saw me again. I had no choice. If you tell the Police, you and ran will end up like Zhenxing. He did all this to protect you. Mei, I’m begging you. I don’t even know who they were. We can’t find them. Just accept it. Come in. Mr. Li. Let’s begin. Okay. Regarding the Qiao Zhenxing case, the chain of evidence is complete and closed. He was suspected of taking bribes from Wan Hai and then committing suicide
to avoid punishment. So we believe the case can be closed. But… AI face-swapping tech is everywhere now. Is there any chance that the video is fake? Our tech team has repeatedly analyzed the video. There are no signs of editing or forgery. We can confirm it was recorded by himself. Aren’t you wrapping things up
a little too fast? Why are you so sure? How did you confirm everything? Well, first, this is a major case, and we’ve taken it seriously. Second, it shows our investigation team
has made solid progress. Hold on, Mr. Xu. Don’t just talk about your progress
and how seriously you took it. Why is this video all over the internet? Everyone knows Dongping People’s Procuratorate has a prosecutor
who committed suicide out of guilt. Why aren’t you taking it seriously now? Where’s your progress? Where are you when oversight is needed? Where’s your efficiency? Mr. Li, calm down. We are already digging into this matter. And the Police will make sure his family is taken care of. Calm down now. Mr. Xu, I was… Hope you understand.
It was nothing personal. I understand. Things are changing fast. It’s not just the city. People’s hearts change fast too. It’s heartbreaking. And humiliating. I understand. But you guys in Eleventh Division must’ve seen this kind of thing a lot. Not with someone this close. But this is our job in Eleventh Division. Honestly, the leadership trusts us and hands us the right. So no matter how close the connection is, we have to hold the line and stick to our principles. What’s your next step? I want to make a report. Before we left, the higher-ups gave me three assignments. Now that the Qiao Zhenxing case is basically resolved, I plan to drive back tomorrow together with Huai’en to give a progress report to the Commissioner and Prosecutor Zhang. Just give you a heads-up. When are you coming back? Well, Ms. Zheng. Before I left, I submitted my resignation to the Commissioner. The timing feels about right. Got it. Ms. Zheng, so… Wish you smooth work and a successful wrap-up. Thanks for everything. Hong Liang! Ms. Zheng. How did you get into Eleventh Division? Well, 18 years ago, I finished my master’s… Welcome home. How did things get this bad with Qiao? They found three million in cash
at his place. Who gave it to him? Wan Hai? Qiao… To me, he was the last person you’d expect something like this from. You can never truly understand someone. But judging by the situation, it’s lucky you pulled him off the Wan Hai case. Otherwise, you’d have been involved too. I still can’t make sense of it. He never seemed like someone who cared about money. There’s something I never told you. He once asked to borrow money from me. Now you get promoted to acting director. Hope you get confirmed soon. I’m driving today. Somehow I feel like this dinner is not just a dinner. Um… Hello? Just have him wait there for me. Alright. Sorry, but I gotta go now. Bye. Are you coming back? No. Say it if you have something to say. I don’t. Then I’m leaving. Um… So you have something. Spit it out. I want to borrow some money. Just that? Then why bother having a meal? How much? Two hundred… Thousand? Would that be alright? See? No one is really above money. It’s all about the amount. A million may be easy to turn down, but what about ten million? Or a hundred million? Does Hong Liang know about this? What did he say? It’s a big deal, and it’s all over the internet. Hong Liang must’ve known this too. He’s probably feeling awful right now. It’s hard to accept all this, but a fact is a fact. You have to be careful. Don’t let this mess up your relationship with Hong Liang. Actually, how about this? Let’s move up Yanxin and Zijian’s engagement party. Since Hong Liang is in Dongping now, I’ll invite Jiang Min too. We can have a nice meal together and cheer things up. Maybe that’ll blow away some of the bad energy and help everyone move on. What do you think? Isn’t it inappropriate
to throw a party right now? Why would it be? He’s gone, but we still have our lives. Don’t worry about it. I’ll talk to Aunt. When she sets a date, we’ll hold the party. [Boss] Huai’en, it’s my ‘boss’. She probably wants an update. Do you need me to join that? No, thanks. Alright. Did you see Qiao’s video? Hold on. What happened to Qiao? Exactly what you saw. So… He killed himself, fine. Why did he record the video? How will Zhou Mei and their daughter survive this? Well, you… It is hard to comment on him now. You don’t know what was going on with him. Maybe making that video was the only way to sever ties with some people. Maybe it was the only way he could take the fall alone. There’s a lot we don’t know. But right now, I just feel really bad. Not just because I lost an old friend. I don’t understand
why Qiao ended up like this. I’m heartbroken. Do you get that? I do. But I need to remind you. You can’t show your sadness. Especially when you leave for work tomorrow, you can’t show any sadness. Got it? And you’re not living alone, right? Even in front of your roommate, you can’t, either. Hong Liang, if you can’t hold it in, come to Beijing. You can cry as much as you can in front of me. But right now you can’t. You hear me? I do. Seriously remember what I said. Okay? Promise me. Of course, I will. ♪The wind and rain chase away the night♪ You can hang up. ♪Dewdrops glisten on the green grass♪ You hang up first. Why? ♪Everyone joins in to praise♪

Day 9 Since the Wan Hai Case Trial Began] [7th March
Day 10 Since the Wan Hai Case Trial Began] Director Liu! Sorry to scare you. What are you doing here? It’s been a while. Is this Qiqi? Kids grow up so fast these days! Get in the car. Why are you here? What do you want? Director Liu, please help me! The mine is in serious trouble. Despite the trouble, you still have to
pay the bank interest on time. You’re right. We want to pay, but we can’t. Look. My… My brother is in prison. We’ve lost many regular clients. The copper-nickel mining is on hold too. That’s your problem in operation. Coming to me won’t help. There’s nothing I can do. You need to figure it out yourselves. Director, I’ve tried everything. I’m truly out of options. My brother’s case still has no conclusion, and because of that, nothing else is moving forward. I came to ask if you could talk to the Development Zone Branch to see if they can rework our repayment plan. Just give us a bit more time. If he weren’t involved in organized crime, it’d be easier. Now that he is, your credit’s ruined across the banking system. To be honest, if the Managing Committee hadn’t guaranteed your loan, the bank would’ve already sued you. That’s why I’m here today, Director. You can’t just wash your hands of this. Let me be frank. If this drags on, the mine will go bankrupt. And if that happens, we can’t even pay the principal, let alone the interest. After all, you were the guarantor. Stop! It wasn’t me. It was the Managing Committee. Of course. I didn’t take a dime. All the procedures were legal and proper. I had nothing to do with it personally. Let’s get that clear. I understand, Director. What I mean is, if we can’t pay back the 300 million, the district government loses money too. As the guarantor, you can’t be completely uninvolved. And as an official, you certainly don’t want
to see that happen. Please ask the bank to ease up a little. Fine. Let me think about it, okay? I’m running late. Thank you! And don’t come here again! Meet me at my office! Some local specialties. Didn’t cost much. Don’t make trouble. Take it back. Alright. Thanks again, Director. Come in. Mr. Xu, you wanted to see me? Come over here. Here’s the thing. Today, the sub-bureau will ask Zhou Mei
to sign the paperwork. I expect she won’t take it well. Can you go with them and help keep things calm? So this case is being closed? The physical evidence
and witness testimony corroborate each other. We have to close it. Mr. Xu, we can’t close it. Qiao was threatened before he died! Sun Fei never investigated that. And they said he drank a bottle of baijiu, but he was allergic to alcohol. Think about it. How could he go to the Yongqing River after drinking a bottle of baijiu? And… Enough… What you’re saying is all speculation without any evidence. But we can investigate. We can verify these things. Right? If Sun Fei doesn’t do it, we can take the case back and hand it over to the Municipal
Criminal Investigation Detachment. Worst case, hand it over to me. I asked you for his location records and call logs, but you made me stay out of it. Captain, this isn’t what you taught me in the army. Why did you change after leaving the service? Is this how the Police handle cases now? Just piece together whatever they can and call it a wrap? Isn’t that reckless? Isn’t that being complicit? Qin Feng! Have you lost your mind? What are you saying? Do you find it humiliating
being a policeman? The army has its rules, and so does the Police. This case was handled by the sub-bureau. You can’t just overturn it because you’re not satisfied! And taking a case back from Sun Fei? That’s not something you can just do. In the police uniform, you’re a police officer first and a family member second. You need to do your job well and stay professional. You can’t just charge ahead like that. What did I teach you? You taught me to… Listen to me. Today you’ll go with Jiang Hongjun and support the sub-bureau team. I… This is an order! Zhou Mei, I need your signature here. And this copy is for you. After signing, take this notice to the funeral home, and they’ll release the body. You can make the arrangements from there. [Pingshan Development Zone Sub-Bureau,
Appraisal Opinion Notice (Copy)] If I sign this, does that mean it’s over? Case closed. Ms. Zhou, this is just the procedure. Uncle, my dad couldn’t have killed himself, right? We can’t just stay here. Go downstairs, and we’ll talk. Mom shouldn’t sign that. Let’s go. Let’s go. Zhou Mei, I know saying ‘I understand’ may sound meaningless. But I’ve known Qiao for over 20 years. Even someone who just met him wouldn’t want to believe this, let alone accept it. But… Sign it, okay? Mr. Li, can we hold a memorial for him? He was a prosecutor for almost 20 years. He was a Party member. He should be in the uniform, under the Party flag. ♪At the river’s end,
