【Movie Version】Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.🔥 | In The Name Of Justice | YOUKU
Son, I have a question for you: if some close friends of yours sneaked into the teacher’s office and saw the exam paper, and though you didn’t take part, they still tipped you off on some key questions which helped you ace the test, would you tell the teacher after finding out what they’ve done? Of course. I have to report it to the teacher. But you got a high score
because of that. But I didn’t look at
the exam paper myself, nor did I do anything wrong, so I’d definitely
report it to the teacher. Aren’t you worried your friends will feel betrayed by you? I’d be doing it for their own good. Isn’t that what you and Mom always teach me? But everyone knows you’re good friends, including the teacher. Aren’t you worried the teacher might think
you were in on it together? But if I don’t report it, and the teacher finds out later, wouldn’t that be harder to clear up? Why are you still up? I was notified by the task force today that I have to go in
for questioning tomorrow. Task Force? The Task Force
for Wanchuan Mining Accident, supervised by the
Provincial Anti-Crime Office, coordinated by the Provincial Procuratorate, with support from the
Provincial High People’s Court and Provincial Public Security Bureau. Why do they want to see you? To talk about the Wan Hai Case, the mining accident, Qiao Zhenxing’s death, and who is the real mastermind
behind Dongping’s organized crimes, and who is protecting them. Honey, tell me honestly, are your recent dealings with Chen Shenglong and the Tianlong Company all legitimate business? We’ve already filed for eminent domain over Hongjia Village because we plan to build a battery plant there, so that’s the only area I need. I won’t do partnerships. It’s either buy it all or nothing. Full ownership is the only way I can be fully devoted. Why do you think I sold you the house in Dadu Xishan
at half price? How do you think
you got the house worth millions? You want to back out? Let me tell you-no way! The Wans’ mine is a generous gift from me. Now that you’re in a
political-business partnership, accepting this house
can give others leverage over you, it could even lead to
duty-related crimes. Answer me, are your business dealings legitimate? He’s responsible
for the mining accident. I’ve basically become his protector. so do you think
the Wan Hai Case is airtight? Ms. Zheng, at that moment he hadn’t recanted, so I had to proceed based on… I mean now. I asked, now that Wu Xiaotian has
retracted his testimony, do you still think
the Wan Hai Case is airtight? Yes, I admit. I placed too much faith in the materials from the police investigation. Like I said, time was tight, so some oversights were unavoidable. Is that all? I advanced the case too hastily, and as a result, my approach was flawed. Beyond these, are there some deeper reasons? Ms. Zheng, I don’t quite understand. What do you mean by “deeper”? In hindsight, I may have been a bit to eager for fast results. And? What else? Ms. Zheng, what you’re trying to say is that I was negligent, committed malfeasance, and intentionally mishandled the case,
right? Could that be possible? Since everything’s out in the open, let’s just be direct, shall we? Why don’t you let Hong Liang take over
the questioning now? Hong Liang, come on, it’s your turn. Can I have some water? Thanks. I had a private talk with Mr. Li once when Xie Hongfei was under
the Guidance Group’s investigation. He said that after everyone was suddenly pulled off
the Wan Hai case, there weren’t enough personnel
handling it. Then, in such a short time, you took over as lead investigator. Was that consistent
with standard procedure? Ms. Lan proposed it, and the Central Political and Legal
Affairs Commission approved it. I don’t know if there was a procedural problem. When Xie was handling the case, you deemed lawyer Zhang Wenjing as a core member of the mafia, was that the investigative organ’s
decision or the prosecution office’s. The prosecution office’s. So how does your office-
from the Party Leadership Group to the Procuratorial Committee- think of Xie Hongfei? Xie is an experienced prosecutor with solid expertise, and the approval
for Zhang Wenjing’s arrest passed the Procuratorial Committee. On a personal note, you and Liu Yun just bought a new house. You’ve really done your research on me, haven’t you? Yeah, but I still have to ask you
about the details. What’s the development’s name? Dadu Xishan. When did you buy it? Around mid-April. More precise. Around the 15th, give or take. Wan Hai’s verdict was announced on April? April 2nd. The 2nd. So who’s the developer? The Tianlong Company. Did you buy it at market price? No. It was a model unit with some small damage, so the price was below market by 1.42 million. That… that much? No, I’ve already asked Liu Yun to pay up the difference. When did she pay it? At the end of May. More precisely? Around the 26th or 27th. So May 26th or May 27th. And the developer is Tianlong Company, owned by Chen Shenglong. Yes, I’m aware. Do you know him personally? I’ve met him twice. Can you specify those two times? Once was at Li Yanxin and Cheng Zijian’s
engagement party. I was there too, why didn’t I see him? You had to leave early for a meeting. He arrived afterward. Why was he there? To celebrate their engagement. How much money did he give them? I don’t know, but it was more than
what you gave. And when was the second time
you met Chen Shenglong? The second time was right after the Wan Hai verdict. It happened to be my birthday, and I wanted to organize
a simple family dinner. Liu Yun booked a restaurant, and by chance, Chen Shenglong was there
and came over for a toast. What do you mean
he was there “by chance”? Tianlong Company owned that restaurant. Who did you say made the reservation? Liu Yun. Mr. Lan asked her to find a small, quiet venue. She didn’t know where to go, so she asked Cheng Zijian for help. He recommended this restaurant, but she didn’t know it was owned by Tianlong Company at the time. Did Cheng Zijian attend the dinner? No, he didn’t. Who did? There were Ms. Lan, Wen Qin, Sun Fei, Xu Yanwu, Xie Hongfei, Liu Yun, and me. So they all went there. And what’s the relationship
between your wife Liu Yun and Chen Shenglong? Please, you can’t say anything. If they start investigating me, I’m finished. What will happen to this family? What about our son? Qiqi’s still young. He needs a family. I believe it’s strictly professional. Their work overlaps. Some of Tianlong’s business falls under Liu Yun’s jurisdiction. What part of their business? Real estate development. No, wait. It was Wanchuan Mining. Wan Hai’s Wanchuan Mining. Yes. And now Chen Shenglong is planning to acquire Wanchuan Mining from Wan Hai, did you know that? Yeah, I’ve heard. You’ve heard. So did you decide to pay up the price difference on your Dadu Xishan property after the Wanchuan Mining Accident? No, no, Hong Liang. The mining accident isn’t the reason we decided to pay the difference. It was my personal judgment that the apartment was questionable, so I decided to cover the difference. It has nothing to do with the accident. They’re two separate things. Did… did I make myself clear? Was that clear? So, when you say “questionable”, do you mean the decor, – the construction or…
– The price difference. The price difference? Yes. Alright. You said it was your personal judgment, let me tell you
what I’m seeing objectively. Fact one: Your wife, Liu Yun, and Chen Shenglong have overlapping work responsibilities and business dealings. Under Liu Yun’s lead, you bought a property in Dadu Xishan, a Tianlong Company’s development. And after the Wanchuan Mining Accident, the two of you then decided to cover the price difference. Fact two: After the Wan Hai verdict, Secretary Lan Jingming of the Central
Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Presiding Judge Wen Qin, Prosecutor-General Li Renjun of the
Dongping Municipal People’s Procuratorate and his wife Liu Yun, and Dongping Police Chief Xu Yanwu all gathered at a restaurant owned by
Chen Shenglong’s Tianlong Company, with Chen Shenglong himself present. Fact three: Not long after the verdict, you met with Wan Hai again. Why? And as for Prosecutor Xie Hongfei, he tried very hard to persuade me, preaching law, justice, and all that. I was wondering
what was his real message? Then I figured it out- it was a trade-off. If I plead guilty, and he will reduce my sentence. A win-win. It was a follow-up visit. So was you meeting Wang Yu also a follow-up? You couldn’t have pulled this off alone. Someone inside helped you. Some made connections, some provided the funds, and some did the dirty work. Once we uncover the truth, this won’t be just a casual chat anymore. Either show me the proof, or I’m leaving. So why did you go to see Wang Yu? Is it possible that after the verdict in the Wan Hai case, you weren’t quite at ease? Maybe you started doubting how airtight the case really was, and wanted to reinvestigate it and double-check the facts? Is that it? Did your investigation lead anywhere? Or did it go nowhere? Or that you don’t want to share
what you found? Now more than ever, you need to think clearly. [Wang Yu – Cheng Zijian] Dongping has faced its share of storms, [Wan Hai]
and every storm has brought [Wan Hai]
a certain level of destruction. But I think Dongping can’t go back to the old way
this time. We should’ve fixed the real issues
at the source long ago. Hong Liang, with all your talk, you’re basically trying to say I’m their protector, right? No, no. That’s fine. You can speculate all you want, but I implore you to verify your claims before making accusations. If you have no proof, don’t ask me to prove my innocence. Li Renjun, you’re not being honest. We’re here on behalf of the highest authority, and we expect you to be truthful and forthcoming in this interview. We hope you will cherish this chance. You don’t need to ask me for proof now! When I show you the proof, will I also have to show you
an arrest warrant? Where do you want to stand? What are you hiding? What are you afraid of? Why not just tell the truth? Excuse me. Come in. Hello, Mr. Xu. We’re the special Task Force and will be asking you some questions. Okay. Mr. Xu, the Task Force has detained two police officers from your precinct for investigation recently. Let’s start with Jiang Hongjun. What do the Dongping Municipal
Bureau of Public Security and you personally think of this officer? It’s shocking. An officer at Jiang Hongjun’s level had over three million in cash in his home? Mr. Xu, sorry to interrupt, but where did you get the information that over three million in cash was found in Jiang Hongjun’s home? Sun Fei, the second officer you detained, told me that information. Before he was taken away, he came to my office, hoping I could pull some strings
at the provincial office and help him out. I remember telling him that… You practically fought to take on those cases. I only entrusted the cases to you out of trust, and even more so because
Ms. Lan trusted you. But you have let down both the bureau and Ms. Lan. So your only option is to cooperate with the investigation and accept the facts. That’s the gist of it. According to our investigation, you did some work that actually helped the case in private. Why did you keep it private? Let me put it this way, in this line of work, I’ve learned that some cases are extremely sensitive. One misstep could disrupt
the whole case. Sometimes I investigate discreetly to avoid
derailing the overall investigation. Considering that Jiang Hongjun, a low-ranking officer, accepted confirmed bribes totaling over 3.2 million, and Sun Fei is implicated
in various problems— both of which occurred under your watch— what do you consider your responsibility as chief of the Dongping Municipal
Bureau of Public Security? Hong Liang, I’ll speak from the heart, anyone who’s been in this line of work knows what matters most: it’s results. That means solving cases
and solving them fast. When higher-ups are
breathing down your neck for results, and the victims’ families
are demanding justice, you can’t cover everything. I had to focus on the big picture. You should understand that Sun Fei was transferred
to the police bureau midway. He didn’t go through proper political
and ideological education, and so when faced with temptation,
he crossed the line. But what happened with Sun Fei and Jiang Hongjun is an isolated incident. It’s not a reflection
of Dongping’s entire police department. If you’re asking
whether I’m accountable, I admit there was a lapse
in leadership on my part. Alright, I understand. Mr. Xu, I have one more question. Go ahead. Around March 10th this year, you showed someone the activity log from the day Qiao Zhenxing died. What was your reasoning for doing that? Hold on. I need to use the restroom. Take a look at this file. Did I do that? How come I don’t remember? Hold on, I think I remember now. Qin Feng came to talk to me about something else. I probably left this file lying on the desk. Could that punk have peeked and leaked it? Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Xu, but that’s not my point. What concerns me is that, prior to that day, your bureau had already classified Qiao Zhenxing’s case as a suicide and had sent an officer to obtain the signature of the victim’s wife, Zhou Mei. So if the police have already reached a conclusion and the matter was supposedly settled, what was your motive for revisiting the timeline? The truth is, Hong Liang, I had some doubts about Qiao Zhenxing’s case, but it was already officially closed, there wasn’t any obvious evidence. So I had Qin Feng look into it under the radar. And since Qin Feng has been
transferred to the logistics division, it was technically improper
to assign him to a case, so I had to do it that way. Hong Liang, let me say this again. Dongping’s a small city, and the network of connections runs deep and is very complicated. Dongping wasn’t built in a day, and neither was its judicial system. Everyone who’s part of this system has layers of personal connections. Take Sun Fei for example, you’re well aware of how he got his position, aren’t you? Someone who’s been in the system for a decade, two decades, or in my case, thirty years, nearly retired— do you think we can avoid
getting tangled in those connections? It’s impossible. I doubt it’s possible that every single case in Dongping is squeaky clean. But I can guarantee you one thing, we’ve never deliberately mishandled a case. I stand by that with my personal integrity. Ms. Zheng. Ms. Zheng. Did you pull an all-nighter again? Someone’s here to see you. I know your heart
still longs for justice and you hope the Wan Hai case
can be overturned. Please don’t lose faith
in the legal system, or in yourself. Having faith in lawyers is essential to building a rule-of-law society. Based on Zhang Wenjing’s tips, we’ve confirmed the testimony of key witnesses in the Wan Hai case, including Zhang Wenjing, Chen Youcai, Qian Bo, and Wu Xiaotian. We now have solid evidence that Wang Yu and Cheng Zijian
falsely accused Wan Hai and used threats and bribes
to coerce false testimony. They must be brought in immediately. All units, move out. Yes, sir! Sir, we need you to cooperate. Cheng Zijian, you need to come with us. Thank you. What are you doing here? If you keep appealing, I’ll keep defending you. Knock it off. I thought you got out. Why did you come back? I did leave Dongping for a while and quit being a lawyer. I wanted a different life. Isn’t that a good thing? Then Ms. Zheng found me. After a lot of thought,
I decided to come back. Mr. Wan, I think we should reveal the truth
behind this case and clear everyone’s name. I don’t have it in me. Do you know Chen Shenglong? We carried out a detailed
investigation into your mine and found some major turning points. The first was three years ago, when they discovered copper and nickel, and the mine’s value shot up. Another one was thirteen years ago. Thirteen years ago, you absorbed Dacheng Mining next door, almost doubling Wanchuan Mining’s size. And we found you didn’t buy them out— in fact, you paid nothing. How did you pull that off? They had outdated equipment and poor management, so they transferred it to me. As we understand, the copper and nickel was first discovered in Dacheng Mining, right? Ma’am, the tunnels underground
are all over the place. I don’t know where it was discovered exactly, but it was our mine. Okay. One more question: thirteen years ago, Chen Shenglong was the business manager
at Dacheng Mining and did quite well there. He worked there for a long time. Have you ever come across him? You said it yourself, he was just a business manager, not someone important. I didn’t have to know him. He’s trying to buy your mine now. Surely you know about that. Ma’am, you know what happened at our mine. I told Wan Hong to sell it to whoever wants to buy it and ask for as much as he could. Did Wan Hong not tell you
Chen Shenglong was the buyer? Or are you hiding something? I’m not. Wan Hai, we believe this whole case was a setup. The Wan Group might have committed some violations in business, but it wasn’t enough to be seen
as organized crime. Somebody wanted to take your mine and used legal tactics to make you and your staff
look like a criminal gang. And out of self-preservation or fear, you had to play along. It’s not Wang Yu who’s truly after you, but Chen Shenglong and his Tianlong Company. Why are you still holding back? Ma’am, please don’t push me. You haven’t denied it. Wan Hai, unless we work together to clear this case, your family will never rest easy. You’re well aware of the consequences to come. Do you think I want this? Wan Hai, what are you running from? You need to trust the law and justice, not street codes. What has street codes ever gotten you? You’re in here, aren’t you? Did they spare you? Or your son? Enough. Ma’am, your stories were compelling, and I appreciate what you’re doing, but you do your job— arrest who you must
and follow the evidence— there’s nothing I can do for you
from in here. And you, please stop meddling, okay? Who’s looking after your daughter now? Who’s looking after your daughter now? We will find Wan Chao. [Serve the People] [Dongping Municipal
People’s Procuratorate] Can you stop pacing back and forth? You’re making my blood pressure rise. They keep asking me all sorts of things, and I keep dodging and deflecting. Feels like I’m being dishonest
with the organization. You really think that’s a good idea? What did they ask you? Making you this unsettled. He asked… Fine, don’t tell me. If you tell me, it’ll look like I’m sniffing around. I told you, Mr. Li, this time, the storm is big. I really think you should cooperate fully with the Task Force. There were times before
when these things were just formalities. It’s different this time. They’re digging straight to the roots. Qin Feng reported to me that Hong Liang is investigating
the 131 case. That’s the first case
we handled on our own, me, Hong Liang, and Qiao. You know Hong Liang. He’s from Eleventh Division. Now he’s pulling out
a thirteen-year-old case, what is he trying to do? Revisit all the major cases? Dig up all the potential wrongdoings
over the past decade? Renjun, the higher your rank, the greater your responsibility. It’s right to be careful. Go, let’s check over there. Watch it. This is one full truckload, and there’s another one over there. Load them both into car No. 3. Xiong. Call him. Sorry, the number you dialed
is currently unavailable. Please try again later. Find him. Find him! Tou, keep an eye on him. Wait, Xiong, I… Stop! [Unknown Number] Hello? Mr. Li, this is Wang Yu. Is it too late to turn myself in? Not too late. Came to your senses now? I’ve fallen out with Chen Shenglong. He’s trying to kill me now. He brought a lot of people to my freight yard. Can you come get me? I’ll be right there. Twenty minutes at most. Hang in there. Wait for me. One more thing, Chen Shenglong isn’t the biggest boss, you need to look into who’s behind him, someone named… Yu Tiancheng. He and that… Jiang Yuan is working together. Hurry up. If you’re late, they’ll kill me! Hello? Wang Yu? Call Xu Yanwu. [Xu Yanwu
Calling…] Hello, Xu. Mr. Li. Wang Yu is now in the Freight Hub. He’s in danger. Send a team over right away. I’m on my way too. Okay! That’s it. Hurry up. Zhang, come and sign this. Take a look over there. Look carefully! Don’t miss a corner. You guys, go check by the rail tracks. Over there. Bro, where are you? I’ve run out of places to hide. I’m already past the front gate, turning left now. Almost downstairs. Wrong direction. You’re going the wrong way. Turn around… What? I’m on the top of a train. Track 7, freight line. On the top of the train. Yes… Here… Here! Bro, I’m here! Bro… I saw you. Come on, that way. Hurry! Stop! Gun. Fall back! – Wang Yu!
– Someone got shot! Someone got shot. – Wang Yu.
– Call 911! Hang in there. Wang Yu. Wang Yu. Wang Yu. Wang… Mr. Song, what’s the current situation? Mr. Li is taking the statement. Mr. Song. Mr. Xu. Let me introduce, this is Cao Ye,
prosecutor of Eleventh Division of Haidong Provincial Procuratorate. Hello. Hello, Mr. Xu. No one ever thought
something like this could happen. This is huge. We’d like to ask Mr. Li to go to our base and help us understand the situation. No problem. The statement’s almost done. I’ll have them make a copy later. Mr. Song, take it with you too. Thank you, Mr. Xu. You’re welcome. I came here to give you a chance, a chance to turn yourself in. Just admit it that
you were working for Chen Shenglong. Tianlong Company has been scheming to get Wan Hai’s mine. You think you can run from this? Can your wife run? She helped them take that mine. And you handled that case. Were you just with the Task Force? Did you tell them about this? Do you want me to show you
an arrest warrant the day I hand you evidence? What stage do you want to be in? What are you hiding? What are you afraid of? You must not tell them. What about this family? What about our child? Qiqi is still young. You can’t let our family fall apart. But if I don’t say anything, and the teacher finds out later, won’t it look even worse for me? The higher your rank, the greater the responsibility. Can I have a drink? Because you’re
a law enforcement officer, we’re extending you
a basic level of trust. That’s why you’re sitting here,
being questioned, instead of handcuffed in an interrogation room as a criminal suspect. Can I have a sip of alcohol? I’ll say it again. This is not a routine conversation. This is a critical window
for solving the case. Li Renjun, you know this very well. You just said you were
going to pick up Wang Yu, to bring him here to confess. How do you prove it? Now Wang Yu was killed before he even left the Freight Hub. How do you clear yourself of suspicion? Li Renjun, let me tell you, I could ask any random kid
on the street right now, and even they’d say you did it. That you were protecting Wang Yu, and when things started falling apart, you silenced him! That’s how you analyze a case? Then tell me how it should be deduced? How do you explain it
to the organization? Can I have a sip of alcohol? Yes or no? Ziyan, go find some. Check the trunk. I mishandled the Wan Hai case. I forced Wang Yu into it. I forced him
to hand himself over to you. I forced him to come and confess to you that he’s Chen Shenglong’s hitman. He’s helped Chen topple Wan Hai to seize that mine. Only when he came to you to confess could he prove that I was their pawn. I didn’t mishandle the case on purpose. I can go with you and explain things. Say, why are you officers all like this? You want all the credit and run at any hint of trouble. Are you even human? Also, I did buy Dadu Xishan’s house on the cheap. But if Chen Shenglong weren’t a gangster, there wouldn’t be a problem. Later on, I found he was one. So I went to him for a refund, compensating him for the price gap. But… It was too late. It couldn’t be refunded. Not only that, Chen Shenglong even threatened Liu Yun. What was I supposed
to do in that situation? Did I dare speak up? I didn’t. I was scared. I was scared
she couldn’t explain herself. She’s my wife. She’s my wife, Hong Liang! What then? So I went to Wang Yu again. I intimidated him and forced him to find you to reveal that Chen Shenglong’s a gangster. To reveal that Liu Yun was completely unaware that Chen had made use of her. She was hunted. In light of this, could her sentence be reduced? I was wrong. I’d always… always counted on my luck. I’d kept thinking of ways to cover up for my mistakes. I’m willing to accept any penalty. What’s so funny? Nothing. I just remembered that little donkey. You mean our motorbike? Second-hand. I miss our past life. You rode the bike, taking me to the movies, eating at street stalls, and hitting the road. How simple those days were. And then we got married, had a child, and bought a house. You rose up in rank, and our life became better. But somehow, something changed. Renjun. Can we return to the way we were? Don’t worry. If you explain the issue, it’ll pass. Everything will get better. It definitely will. You may head back, Mr. Li. Liu Yun. Regarding your matter, is there anything you missed? Nothing else. Will my issue affect Renjun? I can guarantee that he’s completely in the dark over all these. If he had known, he surely wouldn’t
have agreed to what I did. I don’t want my deeds to burden him. That was some quick damage control. Shouldn’t it take at least 48 hours? You’re back so fast. You’re not here to pack things up,
are you? During this period, I was asked to redeem myself
through good service. – Wang.
– Okay, now. Start the meeting. Ready to start. Alrighty. This is a screenshot
of the surveillance video, given the hi-res treatment. We’ve also selected suspects appearing near the mining area that day with appearances of a high match rate. One of them was often going to and fro between New World waste treatment plant and Tianlong Company. According to our investigations, this waste treatment plant is in fact wholly owned
by Tianlong Company. We highly suspect this person to be the criminal
behind the mining incident. There’s also new information about the Wang Yu shooting case. Currently, we can deduce that the car the shooter drove also belongs to the
New World waste treatment plant. Take a look at this man. His name is Xiong Lei. We’re very baffled that we couldn’t find his bank account, address, transportation, and other relevant social information. It has caused a great challenge to our investigation. He has advanced
counter-surveillance skills. [Prime Suspect
Name: Xiong Lei, Sex: Male] That case was mishandled. Sun Yihu might not be the prime culprit. Sun Yihu is hereby imposed
with the death penalty and stripped of
all political rights for life. Your dad didn’t even dare to kill chickens. The shooter must be Wang Dayou. Accomplice Wang Dayou [Suspect Information Record: Wang Dayou]
is sentenced to 17 years in prison. He contracted liver cancer
while serving his sentence and died one year after
being released on medical parole. [Prime Suspect:
Name: Xiong Lei, Sex: Male] Hey. Identify someone for me. Do you know him? No. I don’t know him. You covered up
the mining accident for him. You helped him so much,
yet you don’t know him? I told you. Sun Fei asked me to do it. I didn’t know who I was actually helping. How about we do it in another way? Let’s drop the mining accident and go back a dozen years. Also the Wanchuan Mine. This man. Think again. Do you know him? Who’s he? Wanchuan Mining Shooting. Wang Dayou, the accomplice. Who? Wang Dayou, the accomplice. I didn’t hear that. Once again. Wang Dayou, the accomplice. Again. Wang Dayou, the… Was he the accomplice? Was he? Wang Dayou, the prime culprit. In the Wanchuan Mining Shooting case, he was the one who pulled the trigger. Sun Fei, you’re amazing, aren’t you? Someone like you should’ve tossed off
your uniform early on. Take it off and be done with it. You could’ve done bad things
with no qualms. Did you not feel ashamed
in that police uniform? We know this man’s identity now. Xiong Lei. Wang Dayou, right? She’s asking you. Did you turn this man from the prime culprit into an accomplice, arrange medical parole for him, and finally say he was dead? You did it. How did you do it? The Wanchuan Mining Shooting. Remember? You made his ID card. There’s no way you’ve forgotten him. You let him off like that. He’s just a wolf who hurts anyone. How many evil deeds has he done now? In just one mining accident, two were dead, six gravely injured. Wang Yu was killed, too. You let him go, and he killed people. Then you’re no better than him. Your hands are just as bloody! You couldn’t have done
such a huge maneuver alone. Sun Fei. Is there anything you want to say? Sun Fei, let’s not do this. At this point, you know your situation well. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Sun Fei, be a man. Let’s get it over quick, shall we? Come on, tell me. Who’s with you? Say something. Who’s the organizer? Speak up! When did it begin? Speak! Thirteen years ago, or earlier? Can you just say something? Sun Fei, you’re playing
zero confession, huh? Okay. Then let me show you whether I can convict you
without a confession. You can’t escape capital punishment. My colleagues and I will work hard. We won’t let you down. We’ll definitely treat your case with utmost diligence and get you a concrete conviction with clear-cut testimonies. You’ll die without complaint. [Hong Liang’s here. Knows about us.
About to report. Handle it!] Dayou! One more thing I need to know. Were you involved in the Wanchuan Mining Shooting? I was the secretary of
political and legal affairs back then. Everything I did was for
the safety and stability of this city— it was simply my duty. Do you know they charged the accomplice, not the prime culprit? The prime culprit got out and went on to kill more people. Enough! That was all Yu Tiancheng
and Chen Shenglong. Dad had nothing to do with it! Okay, then. If you know it all, then come with me, tell us about what happened. If I could, would we still be arguing here? If you don’t tell the truth now, by the time you regret it, it’ll be too late. I’m telling you, just drop it. Yu Tiancheng is about to
disappear for good. And no one even knows where Chen Shenglong is! Liang, just let it go. Take off that uniform, and we’re still family. Hong Liang, he’s right. This should stay in the family. It’s about whether he’s going to throw away
his last chance. I can’t go with you! If I do, Dad goes down too! You’d bring us all down! You have any idea what Yu Tiancheng’s done? That’s enough! Hong Liang, let me tell you just how far Yu Tiancheng went back then to bring Dad down. Dad! Something happened. I hit…. killed someone with my car. What do I do? You idiot! Where’d you get a car? Who let you drive? Hello? This is Yu Tiancheng. Your son just killed someone in a crash— drunk, no license. Mr. Jiang, he’s looking at a minimum
of seven years. We’re on Pingnan Avenue. You’d better come get him. Yu Tiancheng, never thought you’d sink this low— using Jiang Yuan as leverage? Have you thought through
the consequences? Mr. Jiang, think about the consequences
for your son. You’ll understand when you get here. Min. Are you hurt anywhere else? No. Hong Liang, please, I’m begging you. Just give up your job, okay? Think about Dou. She’s just a kid. Let’s just leave this place, the three of us, okay? Liang, as long as you keep quiet, the Task Force can blame everything on Chen Shenglong. He’s the one who did all this anyway. Hong Liang.

Hong Liang, you were instrumental in the 5.19 case. You stood up to serious challenges, and completed your mission. You didn’t let us down. However, in the Wanchuan Mining Shooting case and in Xie Hongfei’s death, you also made mistakes. Especially when you
suspected Jiang Xudong and Jiang Yuan were involved, you didn’t report it to us right away. You’ll have to answer for that to the Task Force. And we will continue to look into it. We hope you’ll cooperate fully. You need to trust us. Understood. Will I ever get to wear that
prosecutor’s uniform again? Hong Liang, do you still want to?

This is your brother’s confession. The two of you killed Lei Guangfa, burned his body, kidnapped Zhou Biao, assaulted Shao Xiaoyan, and coerced false witnesses
under Xiong Lei’s orders. Also, you murdered Qiao Zhenxing and dumped his body in Yongqing River. Doesn’t matter if you talk. We’ve got more than enough to convict you. You think Xiong Lei can save you? He fled, but it’s only a matter of time before we catch him. No one escapes justice. If you come clean now, it’ll count as cooperation. If you want to keep
covering for Xiong Lei, then we’re done here. Think it over. Wait. Wait. Uh… If… If I confess, will it help commute my sentence? Why did you kill Qiao Zhenxing? Xiong Lei is just an alias. His real name is Wang Dayou, and he shot someone at Wan Hai’s mine over ten years ago. Qiao Zhenxing was the prosecutor on that case. He went to prison for a year and managed to get out on medical parole. After that, he got a new identity and became Xiong Lei. He thought it was all over, until a few months ago, when he ran into Qiao Zhenxing at Cheng Zijian’s law firm. Hold on. Excuse me. Yeah? Have we met before? Sorry, you are…? I’m a prosecutor at Dongping Procuratorate. What’s wrong? Nothing. I just feel like I’ve seen
this gentleman before. Is that so? What a coincidence. He’s a client of mine, Mr. Xiong. Nice to meet you. You, too. Xiong Lei also recognized that he was the prosecutor
in the shooting case, Qiao Zhenxing. We couldn’t let him live. If he’d remembered Xiong Lei, it would’ve ruined everything. He said we needed to take him out. On the day of the Wan Hai trial, [February 26, Opening Day of
the Trial of the Wan Hai Case] we called him, claiming to have new evidence on the Wan Hai case, and asked him to meet us alone at Jinhai KTV
on Zhongxing Road. Hong, are you free right now? Hello? Hong, can you talk? Hong? When we saw him on the phone, we thought he was onto us, so we acted. Mr. Qiao, come with us. Remember me, Mr. Qiao? I’m Wang Dayou. Mr. Qiao, we asked you here to help us record a little video. What video? See this? Your wife. Your daughter. Should I give him a video call? Looks like they’re shopping. What are you doing? What a coincidence. Your daughter’s calling you now. Make the video, and your wife and kid go home. Otherwise, they will never go back home again. My name is Qiao Zhenxing, a prosecutor at
Dongping People’s Procuratorate. Today is the first day of court
for the Wan Hai case. I can’t live with the guilt anymore. Because I’m… I am the umbrella
shielding Wan Hai’s criminal outfit. What are you doing? Mr. Qiao, who thought we would
run into each other again, and you would recognized me? It’s just bad luck. That’s all. We received a tip-off accusing Qiao Zhenxing of taking a substantial bribe around mid-last year. Officers from the Development Zone searched his place
and found piles of cash. He did it to protect you. Mei, you need to accept it. Qiao Zhenxing drove alone to the
Forestry Bureau Reservoir and drank an entire bottle of baijiu. High concentrations of diatoms were found in his lungs. He was likely drowned. Ms. Zheng. Mr. Wang, sorry to trouble you again. Hello. This is Hong Liang. Hello. Hello, Mr. Hong. Hello, Mr. Wang. Everything’s ready. Please come in. Her phone’s already registered. This one. Please sign here. Here you go. Mr. Hong, we go way back, in a way. Vice Chairman Jiang Xudong
used to be my superior. He’s the one who transferred me here. Pleased to meet you. You, too. My name’s Hong Liang, and I’m her colleague. I’ll be asking you today. Cooperate with me. On what? Thirteen years ago, your Wanchuan Mining was in this shooting case. Right? Two people died. In the finance office. It was ruled a robbery-homicide at the time. But recently, I reviewed
and pieced this case back together. I discovered that the motive wasn’t robbery. It was murder all along. Who was the target? You. And the men behind it were Yu Tiancheng and Chen Shenglong from Dacheng Mining, which was next door to Wanchuan Mining. They sent Wang Dayou to do the dirty work. Wang Dayou
should’ve been the prime culprit, but he got off as an accomplice. Then he got out on medical parole
and was declared dead. But the truth is that he’s still alive. Then you got Dacheng Mining for free, and in the following thirteen years, you pretended it never happened. Am I right? What does a shooting
from thirteen years ago have to do with my current sentence? Seriously, who are you? Like I said, I’m her colleague. I’m from the Eleventh Division, handling duty-related crimes. I see. You want to find
who was shielding that incident, right? A piece of advice for you. Know your place. Wan Hai, the prison gave you special permission. You can video call your son now. You found him? Ziyan. You look even older. What’s with that frown? Look at me. You were right. I’m a lucky guy, and I’m not blind. Do you know
where I’ve been hiding lately? In our old mine tunnel. It felt good. Do you know why? When I was a kid, every time you got mad at me, I’d run to the mine. It was pitch black in there, and I couldn’t see a thing, but I was never scared. Because I knew no matter where I hid, you’d find me and give me a whooping. You’ve always been my backbone. I told you before to believe in the law. My name is Hong Liang. I handle duty-related crimes. It’s from Vice Chairman Jiang Xudong. Call him back. We’re here this time to re-investigate the Wan Hai case. We’re digging deep into
the political and legal protection networks behind these cases. Filing an appeal comes with a price. Besides the time and effort, if it fails, your sentence reduction could be greatly affected. You and I, we’ll see this through to the end. Wan Hai. Yes! Take your meds. Yes. I really want to thank you. You reported that situation with the Wanchuan Mining Shooting to Mr. Zhang. You’re blaming me for snitching on you? Not at all. I want to sincerely,
genuinely thank you. Because if you hadn’t spoken to him, I would’ve been in a passive position. It’s because Mr. Zhang
knew about it ahead of time, that I’m able to stand here today and investigate alongside you. So really, my admiration for you is like a river, endless and flowing. – I’ve gotta say…
– Enough… Ma, we’re coming. Wan Hai had a sudden heart attack, he’s dead. Per directive from Haidong Provincial
Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the authority to investigate
Wan Hai’s death [Medication Pickup]
is now transferred to the 519 Task Force. Make sure to confirm the facts swiftly. We now order the immediate lockdown
and forensic examination of all areas
relevant to Wan Hai’s death, and to begin questioning
all involved personnel. Wan Hai didn’t have
any major health issues, just some chronic conditions, but they were under control. Yesterday, after hearing that
his son Wan Chao had been rescued, he became a bit emotional. Oh, and he requested pen and paper
from the guards, he said he wanted to write a statement. We found that document in his cell, [Statement:
My name is Wan Hai.] but it only had a beginning, there was no substantive information. I was on duty that night. I heard Wan Hai’s cellmates
calling for help, I rushed over immediately. Wan Hai was clutching his chest, clearly in pain, so I took him straight to the infirmary. The initial diagnosis
was acute coronary syndrome. We administered nitroglycerin to dilate his coronary arteries. But at 6 AM, his condition suddenly worsened. We tried everything we could to revive him. But in the end, it was no use. After Wan Hai was put into prison, he had been receiving
long-term treatment. I filled his prescriptions regularly
according to the medical plan, and nothing had ever gone wrong before. Was there anyone suspicious
who accessed the pharmacy? No. According to prison protocol, medications are always delivered directly to the inmate by me. Zoom in. Closer. Sir, the nurse confessed. She switched Wan Hai’s meds, directly causing his death. Thank you all for giving me this chance
to open up to the organization. Even if you hadn’t called me in today, I would’ve come myself to talk to you. To be honest, during my time
as chief of First Criminal Division, I never crossed any lines
when it came to principles. I’ve always been loyal to the Party, to the organization, even more so to the law. I swear I’ve always dealt with cases fairly and justly by the law. But maybe I did break a few
minor disciplinary rules, went against some personal principles. At least, I never crossed over
into illegal territory. But today, what I really want to talk to you about is Xie Hongfei. If you’ve already started
investigating him, then consider
what I’m saying now irrelevant. Xie Hongfei ignored penal code, pushed forward with prosecution against Wan Hai without solid evidence, and made an inappropriate
sentencing recommendation. Of course, in the process, I messed up too. I didn’t scrutinize the indictment
he submitted carefully enough. I let him lead me astray and ended up making a wrong judgment. I found out afterward he deliberately twisted the law
for personal gain. That’s my mistake. I confess. We… Um, Ms. Zheng, could you wait just a little longer? How much longer? Twenty minutes. My mom always takes a nap around this time. She’ll wake up in about twenty minutes. Okay. You cooked all this? Two dishes still left. Then finish them. It’s my mother’s birthday today. Thank you. Thank you. We don’t have much, I tried my best. Thank you. Forget it. We’re not waiting anymore. Let’s go. Can you say I’m turning myself in, since I’m being cooperative? I want to earn some merit. Ms. Zheng. Hong Liang. I want to earn some merit. Okay. You’ll have the chance once we’re back. To be honest, I’ve been holding in so much
all these years. I want to let it all out. Don’t worry. I’ll tell you everything I know. No holding back. And I hope I can earn some merit, so I can celebrate
my mother’s 80th birthday with her. There are some things I might only be able to
say to you alone. If I go back with you now, I won’t be able to speak freely. What are they? Ms. Zheng, can I talk to Hong Liang alone
for a bit? You know the rules. You can talk
when we’re back to the base. Let’s go. It’s nothing. My mother’s not in great health. Hong Liang is from Dongping, knows his way around. I want him to help take care of my mom. We’re not short on time. Let’s talk when we’re there. Let’s go, Xie. Hong Liang. Xie. Do me a favor. I just want to talk to you. Maybe just… a few minutes. He won’t bite. We have rules. In Eleventh Division, we sometimes do have some flexibility. Not like them… Still, you gotta follow the policy. I repeat, we have rules. You guys get in the car first. Stick to the rules. Don’t take too long. Hong Liang. I actually wanted to tell you my mom’s not well, needs regular meds every month. So please help her. By the way, Jiang Xudong
is your father-in-law, right? What’s your point? Say hello to him for me. Actually, you can come to me and ask me anything, I know it all. You want the truth, right? I have already told you. Why are you back suddenly? Is Xudong here? He’s in the study. Xudong. Aren’t you with the Task Force? What do you want to see me? I just wanna ask you something about Yuan. Yuan? What’s his connection to Yu Tiancheng? Do you know? Can I ask one more question? In Dongping, there was a case thirteen years ago, called the Wanchuan Mining Shooting. Do you know? Liang. Why are you asking all this? It’s a little urgent. I hope you can talk to me. Tell me what you know. For example, Yu Tiancheng. How long have you two
been working together? Over three years. So? Do you have anything to do
with the Wan Hai case? What Wan Hai case? No. Can you answer the question properly? What do you mean? You suspect me?
Are you interrogating me? What exactly are you suspecting me of? I do have a few questions for you. There’s a reason for that. I hope you can be honest with me. If I don’t understand what’s going on, I can’t help you or know what I should do next. I’m asking because I want to help him. Because I’m a prosecutor, I know what can be done to protect you. I just need you to be straight with me. Okay? Otherwise, you’ll have to come with me
to the Task Force. – By then it’ll be too late.
– Don’t scare me! My business with Yu Tiancheng
is legitimate. What, doing business is a crime now? Let me be clear, Yu Tiancheng and Chen Shenglong
are involved in organized crime. How about this? You go to the Task Force with me now. If it has something to do with you, turning yourself in
might get you leniency. If it doesn’t, then you can clear your name right away. Trust me on this. Why should I go with you? Are you crazy? Are you my family or not? What? You came back just to arrest me? You’re the prosecutor! Fine. Then arrest me.
You got any warrant? Warrant! Arrest Warrant or whatever paper you’ve got! Do you have any? Show me! Come on, show me! Jiang Yuan. Get out. No! Why should I… Come out. Let me go. Sit down. Hong Liang. Look at this, if you’d listened to me back then and just gone to Beijing, maybe you wouldn’t be stuck in this mess now. So, you do know
how deep Yuan’s involved? Whether Yuan is involved or not, let the Task Force figure it out. We’re family. Are you gonna report him? Wait… I’ve been in law for over twenty years. If I know something and keep quiet, I… I can’t… I can’t live with that. You’re right. But think about Min. Think about Dou. This is your home, too. If you report him,
what happens to them? Xudong, can we just… Please tell me, how deep Yuan is in this?
