Sparrow

I saw her name on today's prisoner transfer notice file. I want to rescue her.

Xu Bicheng is fooling around, and you all are following her lead!

How would I know that she'd falsify your orders?

It's not a failure on your part. The murderer is just very familiar to us.

I don't know how much of our conversation Liu Erbao heard,

so if Bi Zhongliang asks, we must give identical answers.

Anything that happens now is uncertain.

We must be prepared for the worst.

Do you think these can be done by a singular person?

I'm waiting for his accomplice to lose his calm

and expose himself.

Episode 19

According to the norm, women work in the kitchen. In our house, the roles are switched.

Our house?

You can go do your own work.

Squad Leader.

How is it? - Fatty Yu went home.

We've stationed our men at every exit.

People from the Reorganized Government are also watching him.

Even people from the Reorganized Government? - Yes.

Looks like taking action in this alley is inconvenient. Try to force him away.

Yes, sir.

Save me!

He escaped?

Yes. I've already sent people to search for what happened last night.

Where did you go? - Every corner of the city,

including the bus stations and piers.

Don't forget that he's an expert in driving.

If he really drove away, he's long gone from Shanghai!

Then, I'll send people to search in nearby cities.

It's that car. I'll keep watch on it.

You hurry and go notify Squad Leader Tao. - Okay.

What happened this time?

You don't know? Fatty Yu escaped.

Escaped? For what reason?

What an obvious question. He's fleeing from his crimes.

He's the mole from the prison rescue last time.

He caused me and Bicheng be locked up for no reason.

I'm going back. - Okay.

Hello?

Mr. Tang, I am from Zhihu Bookstore.

The "Water Margin" that you wanted is in high demand. We have no stock yet,

but a gentleman is willing to give up his book.

I've already sent men to retrieve it.

Whether we can retrieve it is uncertain.

I must have this book.

The price doesn't matter.

Then, are you willing to retrieve it yourself?

Where?

Once you're outside the city, go 40 kilometers to the north to the Bafang Hostel in Baoshanzhen.

Do you think Fatty Yu is really trying to flee from his crimes?

If I say yes, would you believe me? You think everyone is a spy.

Is it so hard for you to speak your mind to me?

You're always beating around the bush with me.

You didn't catch him in the act. Why should he flee?

He's not an idiot. Moreover, it's the truth that he knocked us two over.

He's only running because he feels guilty.

Right now, the most important task is to find him and interrogate him.

Anyway, it's good that something has happened.

If nobody did anything,

you would be in trouble with Supervisor Li.

Come in!

Did you need something, Shanhai? - Division Chief,

Fatty Yu escaped?

Yes.

Please allow me to lead Operations Team 2 to hunt him down.

Then, where do you think he has run off to?

Since he's escaping from his crimes, he wouldn't be inside the city.

If he's already left Shanghai, in this giant world, it'll be hard to find him.

Look for tire tracks. Fatty Yu is a good driver,

but if he drives too fast, he'll leave behind tire marks when he turns corners.

Immediately take Operations Team 2 to search for him.

Yes, sir!

Who is it?

We're delivering blankets for you.

Don't you think Tang Shanhai was too interested today?

He knows that you suspect him and Xu Bicheng,

so he wants to find this mole more than you do.

Why do I think he's wanting to use this opportunity to kill Fatty Yu?

This is what my instincts are telling me.

If he can find Fatty Yu,

he wouldn't bring him back alive, either.

You mean that he's the mole?

If he murders Fatty Yu in name of arresting him,

then he's the mole.

Team Leader Tang, where are you going?

Tell Liu Erbao to go with Tang Shanhai. Don't give him a chance to attack.

You must bring him back to me alive. - Okay.

Unluckily, Bi Zhongliang guessed that

Tang Shanhai is indeed wanting to murder Fatty Yu

in the name of arresting him

so that he will undoubtedly become the criminal.

He understands that these actions risk the exposure of his identity,

but if he misses out on the opportunity,

it'll be hard for him to find another scapegoat.

From the resolute look in Tang Shanhai's eyes,

and from his aggressive request of this mission,

Chen Shen can tell he knows Fatty Yu's whereabouts.

He will also likely kill Fatty Yu in name of searching for him.

But he clearly still doesn't know

that all of these are within Bi Zhongliang's plan.

More importantly,

because Liu Erbao is here, he totally has no chance yet

to inquire the truth from Tang Shanhai.

Team Leader Tang, why do you think that Fatty Yu will escape to the north?

I checked Fatty Yu's file. He has a second uncle in Nanjing.

Other than this, he has no other relatives.

Then what Team Leader Tang means is Fatty Yu will go to seek shelter from his second uncle?

Just a guess.

These are jeep tracks.

Fatty Yu also drives a jeep.

Team Leader Chen, do you want to come and take a look too?

I won't look anymore. I'll leave it to you two.

I'll just go piss.

Chen Shen realized that other than the tracks of Fatty Yu's jeep,

there are still other tracks from another car on the soil.

Hence, Chen Shen concluded,

Tang Shanhai has already sent men to assassinate Fatty Yu.

He hopes that the people Tang Shanhai arranged

can take care of this problem before they are able to reach him

and not leave any traces behind.

But what the result may be must still be left to Heaven's will.

It's his car.

Surround the hotel.

How come I feel that he wants to use this opportunity to silence the witness?

If he is planning to use arresting the witness as an excuse to silence him,

then he is the spy.

Erbao,

wait here outside. Team Leader Tang and I will go in together.

Forget it, Team Leader Chen, it's better that you stay outside. You don't use a gun. If anything bad happens, I won't be able to explain it to Division Chief.

That's right. Team Leader Chen should just stay outside.

Hi, customers--

What room does this person stay at?

It's upstairs, 304.

Fatty Yu!

I am Chen Shen! I'm here to fetch you.

Listen!

If you just leave like this,

it would be a sticky business for us.

If you come out now, it's not too late!

If you come out now and surrender your gun,

beautiful women, gambling, and cars will all be waiting for you in Shanghai.

But if you persist in willfully doing this,

even the Heaven won't be able to save you.

Seeing Tang Shanhai's expression of relief when he came out of the inn,

Chen Shen's worried heart finally was able to be at ease.

He understands

that Tang Shanhai's people were indeed able to arrive before them and kill Fatty Yu.

They finally were able to get past this difficult stage.

Blanket delivery.

This is a letter that we found from Fatty Yu's luggage.

Second Uncle,

although I was in the enemy camp, I never betrayed Commandant Jiang.

This time, I wasn't able to rescue my wife Zhou Li,

so I already don't have anything to live for. Mr. Wang is definitely orthodox in his methods.

I also urge you to turn around.

How could that be?

Division Chief, the deceased died of asphyxiation from mechanical means.

What does that mean? Are you saying he committed suicide?

Yes.

Go now. - Okay.

This is illogical. Are there no signs of fighting in the scene?

Even if my wife dies, I won't go committing suicide.

I more or less will drag some people with me.

In this world, there are only 2 kinds of people.

One is like you while the other one is unlike you.

There is one more possibility.

That is the enemy did everything so beautifully.

What do you plan to do then?

Close the case. Anyway, this is an ending that both Li Moqun and Ying Zuo wanted too see.

Shanhai, go to the Central Headquarters.

May I trouble you to give this case conclusion report to Supervisor Li.

Okay.

In the operations to arrest Fatty Yu,

you surely had valuable contributions.

Bicheng was previously accused because of this matter.

That's why, whether it's due to work or personal reasons, I will surely investigate this matter well.

I also hope that after this matter,

no one will try to commit confusion and take advantage from it again.

Hope so.

Did you kill Fatty Yu?

The dishes today are quite tender.

Did you kill him with Old Tao?

The case is now close and the suspicion about you has also been cleared.

You should work more carefully next time.

Why didn't you answer my question?

We have no other choice.

But Fatty Yu is innocent.

Then wait for them to connect everything to us, is that it?

With what I did, whether in facing the nationalist government or Boss Dai,

my conscience is clear.

But other than killing people, are there no other way?

Why didn't you tell me about it before you made your move?

She indeed is a bit stubborn.

But she actually is still a reasonable person.

She just isn't very suitable to live in this kind of mutual deception life.

If she is living in a very peaceful era,

she surely will live her life like a poem or a painting.
