【ENG SUB】In The Name Of Justice EP04 | Zhang Yi / Li Guangjie / Jiang Xin | YOUKU
[Judicial Expertise Center] We need to run the diatom test right away. Match the water from Qiao Zhenxing’s lungs against samples from the crime scene and the spot where he fell into the water. It’s the best way to prove he drowned and pinpoint where it happened. [In the Name of Justice] [Episode 4] Come in. Come in. No need to change shoes. Hurry. Hong Liang’s here. Tell me quickly: how did Qiao die? Hard to believe. So young, leaving behind a widow and a child. Feels heavy in here. Uncle Hong, you’re here. You all eat. Mom, I’ve got a meeting to get to. What meeting? Leave him. Sit. Have a seat. Have you wrapped everything up in Beijing? When are you heading over? Jiang Min said the apartment and school are sorted, just waiting on you. What brings you back to Dongping all of a sudden? I’m the idlest guy at work now, about to shed the uniform, so they drafted me to make up the numbers. What numbers? The guidance group. What does this guidance group actually do? I’m curious. Save your curiosity. Go worry about your own son. Why can’t I ask? Check how that meeting’s going. Go on. Honestly, I’m curious too. Come on, what’s the group really here for? Please, you’re the one
receiving the guidance group. You see, even Liu Yun guessed as much. You think the rest of us haven’t? Level with me: does the province have evidence of duty crimes on someone in our city procuratorate or Dongping’s justice system? Got any leads? Hand them to me. Once I’m back at the provincial office, I’ll brief the higher-ups. After that,
the follow-up isn’t my concern, but filing that report
still earns me credit. That way, when I hang up this uniform,
it’ll be with honor. It’ll pave the way for my next job. If I had leads I wouldn’t be asking. You province people must have something. I know nothing. I’m a filler. No. Look, as a leader, and you’ve never been one, of course, you don’t see it from this angle, so let me break it down: let’s say one of the county procuratorates under Dongping is suspected of a duty-related crime. If that comes to our attention and there are other issues, too, then when we send in a guidance team, we’ll be sure to include investigators
who specialize in duty crimes. Your team is no different. Five people, two from the Eleventh Division, right? Pretty obvious what Prosecutor Zhang is thinking. Li Renjun, that’s enlightening. Could it be that while we’re investigating Zhang Wenjing, the real target is someone inside the guidance group? Suppose our leader Zheng Yaping. What if they’ve sent me to dig up dirt on her? Could it be possible? Doesn’t add up. If that were the case, it should be the other way around. You’d be the leader
and she’d be the deputy. Wrong way round. With her as leader she does the talking, takes the action, shows her hand; I’m just the deputy, standing by, observing, taking notes, and reporting. Hong Liang, stop with that spooky nonsense. Are you seriously feeding me this crap? Now, eat your food. First a toast, to Qiao. Well, I’m on duty so I can’t drink, and Qiao never drank either. He’d be having water. To Qiao. Hey… Are you crazy, pouring it on the floor? Aren’t we toasting Qiao? And that means dumping it out? Well, I… Do you do this at home? Doesn’t your wife smack you? Now I’ll be facing
domestic violence again. She’ll think I wasted it. Look, that acting title of yours, when did it start, and how long’s it been? Since the Wan Hai case. Over two years. Really? Two years of acting
and still not confirmed? Rough. Can you keep it upbeat
at the dinner table? Speaking of which, when you get home, ask your father-in-law to sound things out for me. Find out when they’ll finally
drop the word “acting”. But don’t say the question came from me. You just tell him you were curious, that’s all. I’m not curious. Be curious for once. When did you get so power-hungry? Hungry or not, the job needs doing. Do you know what “acting” means? “Acting” makes everyone jittery. No one knows if HQ will parachute someone in. That complicates everything, got it? If you want simple, even simpler, don’t just drop “acting”, drop the “chief prosecutor” title
while you’re at it. Problem solved. Great. Then you and I can take the kid to school in Beijing,
hand in hand. Is that it? In two years of Acting Li, Zhang Wenjing shouted injustice in court and Qiao died. Neither is trivial. You still think you’ll be confirmed? Where’s that confidence come from? Deputy Leader Hong, your team will nail down Zhang Wenjing’s disruption in days. And Qiao. What’s that got to do with me? Did I kill him? What matters is that in two-plus years
I turned the Wan Hai case into an ironclad conviction. That’s my confidence. You understand? Hong, quit hiding. I’m no longer curious why you’re here, but you have my words: whoever you’re investigating, however you do it, I’ll back you fully. Provided you keep me in the loop. [March 2
Day 4 Since the Wan Hai Case Trial Began] [March 2
Day 5 Since the Wan Hai Case Trial Began] Everyone done eating? Listen to me, everyone, my dad’s always treated you well. Help me this time and get him out, and I guarantee he’ll give everyone a raise. When we reach the hotel entrance, shout at the top of your lungs and drag those provincial officials out. That might be our only shot. We’ll rehearse here. Just two lines. First: Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Second: The Wan family’s been framed! The Wan family’s been framed! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! The Wan family’s been framed! The Wan family’s been framed! What are you looking at? Let’s go! Drive. Boss, that kid from the Wan family
has rounded up a crowd to complain to the guidance group. Chang Sheng! Chang Sheng! Chang Sheng! Chang Sheng! Chang… Anyone seen him? Chang Sheng! Mr. Wang. Manager Chang went that way. Over there. – That way?
– Yes. Chang Sheng! One last time:
have you got the money or not? What are you doing here? Why aren’t you answering your phone? – Mr. Wang…
– Why? Why aren’t you answering your phone? Sorry, Mr. Wang. Please don’t get mad. I forgot it was in my pocket. Wan Chao left the mine with a bunch of men
and went to Dongping Hotel. Take more guys, intercept them on the way. If not, block the hotel entrance. The rule is simple: don’t let him meet the guidance group. Got it? Move! Get your coat. Go! Quick! What is this, a mafia hit? Murder and arson? Lift him up. What have you done? Owes money. Owes money. What? Then tie him down. No! Somebody help! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Louder! Again! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Quiet! Stop shouting! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Shut up! Chang Sheng, what are you…? What’s going on? Stay still. Come on! Stop! Please stop! Wan Hai isn’t a gangster! Stop saying that! Shut it! Ms. Zheng, do you hear that? Sure is noisy. Can’t see anything from the window. Let’s go take a look. Drag them away. Move! No funny moves! Wan Hai’s innocent! Chang Sheng! Wan Hai’s innocent! Haul all of them out. Hands off! Clean this up, now! – Wan Hai’s innocent!
– Move it! Come on! Hurry! Let’s go! They’re here. Wan Hong, keep your brat in line. If he shows up again I’ll break his legs, got it? Chang Sheng, you scum. Come down here and fight me one-on-one
if you’ve got the guts! Chang Sheng! Go home. Quit making trouble. One-on-one, coward! Ms. Zheng, Mr. Wang is already waiting downstairs. Looks like we need to head down
five minutes earlier. Morning. Morning. Hand that to me. Ms. Zheng, I’m sorry. Last night, I forgot to notify
Mr. Hong and the others. The thing is, the detention center’s
interview room is tiny, and people from the municipal office
will be there too. If we all go, it’ll be packed and we might not get in. Right. So when I filed the notice yesterday, I only registered
three of us from Division One. Good call. Sorry. It’s fine. Mr. Hong, my apologies. No worries, it’s fine. Good luck. Yes, the file’s already with Division Two. It won’t move that fast. We’re short-staffed. They’re here. Okay, that’s settled. Ms. Zheng, thanks for the hard work. Mr. Xie. Thanks, Bai. Mr. Li, sorry to trouble you. So busy and still making the trip. No trouble. Working with the guidance group is a top priority. If I really can’t come, Mr. Xie will handle everything. Absolutely. Ms. Zheng, just say the word. All right, let’s head in. The paperwork’s done. By the way, Mr. Li, since we’re here we’d like to see Wan Hai as well. Is that possible? The chief prosecutor’s here. Should be fine. Go apply and see. Okay, I’ll try. Come on, inside first. Maybe we should ask
the Dongping detention center too, file a request, or you could just have a word with Mr. Li and we could tag along. If we leave now we might still catch up with Ms. Zheng. “Huh” what? Mr. Hong, are you cold or something…? Sorry, I didn’t mean to lose my temper. I’m saying we really ought to go take a look today. They don’t want us there. Haven’t you figured that out? Fine. Then why are we even here? Leadership told us to come and observe. Observe? You’re glued to your phone. Sure, it’s got GPS and navigation. It can show you
where the detention center is. It can also show me the nearest ATM. Come on, why hunt for an ATM instead of checking the detention center? You’re right, you’re right. You, do me a favor. From here, should I turn left or right? Which way? Left. Left it is. I… I’ll grab some cash. Coming? If not, I’ll go first. Come in, please. Come in. Ms. Zheng, Mr. Wang, take a seat. No, Mr. Xie is the lead prosecutor. We’re just here to learn the situation, so he should take the chair. Please, you’re the senior leaders and far more experienced. We can question Zhang Wenjing at any time. Why don’t you take a seat? Mr. Xie, really. Joint investigation. Have a seat. All right. Let’s start. Right. Zhang Wenjing, I’m Zheng Yaping
from the Haidong Provincial Procuratorate’s First Division. With me are Wang Chunxiang and Bai Ziyan. Your conduct in court and the issues you raised have drawn close attention. A guidance team is now working with Dongping prosecutors to verify the facts. Use this chance to speak truthfully. Zhang Wenjing! Tell them to leave. I’ll only talk to the guidance group. What’s that supposed to mean? I request the Dongping personnel
recuse themselves. I’ll only answer to the guidance team. We’re a guidance team,
not a prosecution unit. As a lawyer, you should know that. We’re here to advise. The city office still runs the case. This is joint work, not a takeover. So, let’s talk. Talk about what? How do you reason with people who ignore the law? Zhang Wenjing, your arrogance is astounding. Yelling in court won’t let you dodge justice. As to your crimes, we’ve already nailed down every detail. Even without your plea agreement, the evidence we’ve got is enough to convict and sentence you… My single condition is that they leave. Otherwise, there’s nothing to discuss. Zhang Wenjing, you’re just stalling on purpose. You’re a lawyer, an intellectual. How is this childish obstruction meaningful? I’m telling you, testimony and exhibits are solid. Every charge sticks. Listen up: as a core gang member, you colluded with Wan Hai, using organized violence, threats, and market bullying to force sales. Can Chen Youcai’s statement
even be relied on? Did you vet it? A witness with direct interests
is hardly credible. Do I need to teach you Evidence 101? Shouting won’t help. By your logic, the dozen witnesses from the freight hub, people who gave sworn statements, are they disqualified, too? And the traders
who do business with the Wans, are they disqualified as well? – Don’t assume that because you know…
– Zhang Wenjing. If you question evidence, file to suppress it before trial. Why sign a plea deal, then risk contempt by recanting in court? When was I given any platform? I never had any chance to speak out. All I want is to lay out the facts. Without a hearing, my side would never be heard. The longer they drag this out, the more time they have to forge evidence and fabricate documents. Shut up. Who fabricated documents? Who forged evidence? Spell it out. Dare you to let an independent lab
examine the files? That is blatant slander! Pure defamation. Mr. Xie. Mr. Li. Mr. Xie. I can’t swallow this. I’ve got to set her straight. You’d better spell it out for me. Do you have any evidence? If so, show it right now. Mr. Xie! She recanted in open court. Why? Only to milk sympathy. She’s not fit to be a lawyer. This is driving me mad! How could she pull a stunt like that? She doesn’t even have basic ethics. Apologies, Ms. Zheng. Zhang Wenjing, do you realize
how much effort we’ve poured in, how many hours we’ve spent, trying to talk you around? I think you know that better than anyone. Haven’t we looked at this from your side, considered how the sentence
might be lighter, and made every allowance? You know we did, right? You signed the plea, then disowned it in court. Am I not entitled to wonder if it was all an act? Would you leave as well, please? I repeat: we’re the guidance team overseeing the city’s work. Speak. Justice allows debate. As defense counsel, I admit Wan Hai broke certain laws, but whether that constitutes organizing
and leading a mafia-type group is still unproven. I’ve studied the police file. It collapses under scrutiny. I rejected their conclusion and presented contrary evidence to Prosecutor Qiao Zhenxing, fighting for two years. What about Qiao Zhenxing? I argued with him round after round. He finally saw the gaps and returned the case for more evidence. You can read the grounds yourself. Exactly on the flaws I flagged. Then they replaced him and branded me mafia. The replacement, that Mr. Xie, came in saying without asking, “Plead guilty and get leniency. Refuse and rot in jail.” Ms. Zheng, is that how a prosecutor should think? Who’s the real gangster? Who’s framing whom? Who’s setting up whom? A responsible prosecutor is removed and replaced by someone
who ignores the law. A lawful defense lawyer
is painted as mafia. The evidence can’t hold water. Witnesses keep changing their stories. The chain of proof won’t close. Why rush such a shaky case to trial? Why? Political points? Or payoffs? While I was still defending Wan Hai, he cooperated fully, until last June, when he suddenly did a 180, pled guilty, and asked for a new lawyer. You remember what you told me
before I took this case? How long has it been? You’ve run it halfway into the ground. But fine, I’m not blaming you. I know moving the case forward hasn’t gone as smoothly as we hoped, but I’ve given it my all. You can’t just… Wait, what happened to your lip? Get Wan Hong Who hit you? to settle your fee and get as far away as you can. So someone’s threatened you, right? I bit it. After a year-and-a-half in custody, I figured he’d crack, so I planned to talk again later. Instead, they suddenly named me a core gang member. Police hauled me out of my own office. My advice is to pull out now. If Wan Hai himself has waved the white flag, don’t dig your heels in. Are you listening? The fallout could be worse than we think. I know it’s risky, but if I walk away Wan Hai is finished. And you still care about that at a time like this? Captain Jiang, what is it? Zhang Wenjing, Public Security Bureau. You’re under arrest for involvement [Arrest Warrant]
in the Wan Hai criminal syndicate. Please cooperate. Here’s the warrant. What? Captain Jiang, this is a mistake. No evidence, no investigation, how can you arrest her? Fu Bing, you’re a lawyer too. Without evidence, the procuratorate
wouldn’t have approved the warrant. Think about it. Cuff her. – Yes, sir.
– What are you doing? Why are you cuffing our boss? What are you people up to? What do you think you’re doing,
Jiang Hongjun? Zhang Wenjing, you’ll have plenty of time to speak
after we’re back. And the rest of you, you know the law. Interfere again and we’ll summon you on the spot. Understood? Cuff her. They’re framing me, fabricating evidence, just because I stood in their way of railroading Wan Hai. They? Who exactly? Dongping Public Security, Dongping People’s Procuratorate, plus the real crime ring that wants Wan Hai dead, wants me dead. Be more specific. Who’s the real ring? I don’t know. I keep thinking. I keep asking myself: if a lawyer gets bitten by the very people who control justice just for doing her job, is there any justice left here? So far you’re only making declarations. Zhang Wenjing, you know very well that the law deals in facts and proof. If you have evidence that Dongping police or prosecutors broke the law, present it. If not, don’t make reckless claims. They took me before I could gather anything. If you re-examine every detail you’ll find the proof yourself. If the case against Wan Hai collapses, mine collapses with it. Of course, if you’ve already decided his case is airtight mafia crime, then there’s no point talking further. You actually let someone like that
get under your skin? You shouldn’t have. Ms. Zheng, sorry. I lost my temper. She’s just a courtroom shyster. Mr. Xie, we still have to hear every opinion. Whether it helps us or hurts us, we still have to listen. Right, you’re absolutely right. We’ll go back, do our homework, make sure… Can we see Wan Hai now? Everything’s arranged. Shall we go? Let’s go. Where are we? A residential neighborhood. Which part of the neighborhood
are you heading to? Why do you need to know? Since I came with you, I should at least know where you’re going. Did I ask you to tag along? No, but discipline says, I have to stick with you. I’m quite sensitive, a bit fragile. If anything happens, steady me. Don’t tell me this is… Hello? Hong just showed up
at Qiao Zhenxing’s place. Feng. Liang. Hong! What brings you here? Min’s in Beijing. She said the moment she’s back she’ll come straight here. She worries about you. Seeing you cheers him up. You’re the first from the procuratorate to visit. Friendship well-kept. Thanks, Hong Liang. Well, what about her grandma? We daren’t tell her. The old lady’s been bedridden
for six-seven years. If she follows him, no one could bear that. Have you decided on a burial site? A burial site? He’s still in the forensic center. Cause of death unknown. I haven’t thought that far. Well, tell me what I can line up. Whatever you need. Photos. In uniform, wearing the badge. Smiling if possible. Do you have any? Wan Hai, you’re looking rather good today. Relax, I’m not dying yet. Listen: because of the courtroom incident, the provincial procuratorate
set up a guidance team. This is team leader Zheng Yaping, prosecutor Wang Chunxiang, and assistant prosecutor Bai Ziyan. Answer their questions about Zhang Wenjing truthfully. Tell them everything. No games. Please, she caused the stir, not me. If you want answers, go ask her. Besides, men and women
are in separate blocks. I can’t even talk to her. Don’t pin it on me. Wan Hai, how do you view
Zhang Wenjing’s disruption? She played it dirty. You see, once you sign, it’s legally binding. Why make a scene in court? Me, I just sit tight. Even the bailiffs can vouch for me. I figure: the sooner the sentence,
the sooner I serve, the sooner I’m out. But, on the flip side, she’s young and pretty. Having ideas is normal, right? Wan Hai, your statement calls Zhang Wenjing
the strategist of your gang. Give specifics. She’s smart, knows the law, that I can prove. And she sings great. Qinghai-Tibet Plateau a whole octave higher than the original. Enough chatter. Answer the questions. Don’t waste the team’s time. I am telling the truth. Fine, since
the provincial leaders are here, I’ll repeat it: Zhang Wenjing told me to have my guys hold Wang Yu for a week, then grab the freight hub
at a low price. I did as she said. I hired some guys
to beat Wang Yu into submission, and then forced him to sign the contract. She drafted the contract. And when my club’s head of security crippled that man, she arranged the false testimony to cover me. Wan Hai, all that’s in the file. During the week Wang Yu was held, did Zhang Wenjing see him? Let me think. No. You claim she drafted the contract and forced Wang Yu to sign. Describe the scene for me. Exactly how did she coerce him? What did she say? What did she do? What’s the process? How long from refusal to agreement? How many times did she meet him? Look, leader, that’s a lot of questions. What was the first one again? How did she coerce Wang Yu? How else? Like I said, had him beaten till he gave in. It’s been years. You went to all that trouble, kidnapping, beating, for the hub, yet you can’t recall the signing details? Leader, honestly, I’ve been locked up for over two years. They never turn the lights off. My head buzzes all day. Give it a few more days and I might not remember any of this. Did you already get leave from the school? I did. The school’s been very understanding. Just look at her. Mei, how’s your health? Have you eaten these days? Two whole days, not a single bite. That won’t do. Have you eaten? You haven’t either? Your little faces
are all sallow from hunger. I’ll make you some noodles. Nobody needs to move, it’s all right. Has your office reached a conclusion? How did he actually die? Are you free tomorrow? I can be. What for? Come out with me. To your office? No, to the place where my brother died. Which river was it? The Yongqing River. Going to burn joss paper? No. I keep feeling there’s something amiss
with my brother’s case. What’s wrong? They found him frozen in a waterfall. The search team traced the ice hole where he went in, several kilometers upstream, and it was pitch-dark that night. I keep thinking… I can’t lay it out here. You’ve got to see the scene with me. So what’s the deal? You just don’t want to go? Let’s talk about the assault at the entertainment club. Who? Liu Gui? Right. Please be specific. Liu Gui was using drugs, a bad character. He even dared to use in my club, so I had Wu Xiaotian “educate” him. Wu went overboard and beat Liu into a vegetative state. By your account, Zhang turned Wu’s intentional assault into an accidental injury. Something that serious
and she never ran it by you? That kind of trivial matter
never reaches my level. Not even once? She handles the legal stuff. Tidying these things up doesn’t need me. Do you know Zhang got the waitress Shao Xiaoyan to give false testimony? Like I said, people like that don’t reach my level. That’s not what your statement says. No, look, don’t try to trap me. It means I didn’t know back then. Now I certainly do. Do you know what Zhang Wenjing gave her in return? Had to make it worth her while, of course. And what did you give Zhang Wenjing? Money. How much money? How many times? On what occasions? And how much each time? ♪At the river’s end,
