Sparrow

Just yesterday,

Su Sanxing has caught Du Huanle and he already confessed

that he was supposed to meet with the Superior of the Underground Communist Shanghai District One's communications line with code name Doctor

here.

If we are able to catch that person with code name Doctor,

we then can catch the Sparrow that's hiding among us.

I will think of a way to send Su Sanxing away.

Take your men and you must surround this area.

Catch this big fish before he does!

Never thought that it's you.

Episode 52

Aren't you afraid that I drugged the alcohol?

Since you said that you'd treat me respectfully,

you wouldn't stoop so low as to drug me.

Moreover,

you can't bear for me to die so soon.

You are so smart. Here.

Miss Li, cheers.

Good. Let's talk about serious business.

I'm most curious about how

you managed to play the most elite men of Central Headquarters like toys.

That's an overstatement. It's not that complicated.

At first, I was only using my courtship of Chen Shen

to hide my identity,

helping me to approach the superiors of Operations Division.

I always wanted to get some intelligence from Chen Shen.

Sadly, his heart belongs to somebody else. He didn't mind me at all.

His heart belongs to somebody else?

You mean, he likes another woman?

Yes. The woman he likes

is your cousin's daughter, Xu Bicheng.

Lies!

Continue talking.

Everyone knows that Xu Bicheng is a nationalist special agent.

Although Chen Shen didn't care about me,

I borrowed my relationship with Chen Shen...

Oh, I almost forgot. With Mrs. Bi's help,

I became neighbors with Xu Bicheng.

Xu Bicheng was very willing to share with me the intelligence that she received.

We used Chen Shen together.

We made Chen Shen unknowingly help us with a lot of things.

Sadly, Xu Bicheng and Tang Shanhai were exposed too soon.

But as their comrade, I needed to return their favor.

When their identities were exposed, I helped them.

Turns out you leaked the information at the hospital.

Director Su,

if without your help, I wouldn't have been able to deliver the information.

How did I help you?

I was the only one capable of delivering the news.

You were so eager to take me to the hospital. Of course I need to thank you.

But of all these smart men here,

nobody suspected me.

Did this really happen?

Why did nobody stop her?

Now, let's talk about my ties with Division Chief Bi.

Division Chief Bi's wife, Liu Lanzhi,

cares a lot for Chen Shen.

She was eager for Chen Shen to get married.

I used this to win her over.

I also used Liu Lanzhi, this bridge, to gain a connection with Division Chief Bi.

Li Xiaonan, you are good at acting,

but you are even better at making up stories.

Division Chief Bi, a minor shareholder at Fushou Hall,

can't compare to Supervisor Li, this major shareholder.

But last month, Division Chief Bi told Chen Shen to buy a shipment of opium

from Hongji Hall of Pier 16 with seven times the cost.

Then, he sold them to Fushou Hall.

I think he must have earned a lot of money.

But Hongji Hall isn't so easy to fool.

Why did he use seven times the cost

to sell opium to Division Chief Bi?

Of course it's because I gave him sufficient benefits.

Division Chief Bi is smart. In order to thank me,

he revealed to me that the nationalists betrayed us.

Otherwise, I would have been captured

since the operation at Red Mill.

Li Xiaonan, your story is getting more absurd.

It's the truth.

Chen Shen

is a crafty man with no ambitions.

Maybe he knew what I was doing,

but he knew that Bi Zhongliang knew everything,

so he had to pretend like he knew nothing.

Moreover, he used me as a guise

so that he can continue flirting with Xu Bicheng, even with Tang Shanhai around.

Division Chief Bi is a smart man,

but he had Supervisor Li suppressing him.

Plus,

Su Sanxing was in the limelight.

Sometimes, even he felt frustrated at his own incompetency.

What should he do? Earn some money, of course.

He could set up a secret relationship

with the communists or nationalists to leave an escape route for himself.

Li Xiaonan, your story is becoming more absurd!

Now,

let's talk about Su Sanxing.

He was stubbornly courting me.

Asking him to help me with errands was extremely easy.

Li Xiaonan, I'm telling you,

I arrested Du Huanle.

He's the one who betrayed you.

If somebody hadn't taken secretly obstructed me, I would have been the one to arrest you.

That's right.

The only thing that surprised me

is that since you couldn't win over my heart, your love became hate.

You were so cruel to come arrest me

to hand over to the Japanese.

Luckily, you didn't arrive first.

Otherwise...

Otherwise what?

You would have shot me dead at the first opportunity.

Then, I would have no chances

to tell them what you've done for me.

Lies!

Good. Miss Li, I greatly admire you.

Your skills are comparable to that of our Yoshiko Kawashima.

Chen Shen understands very well

that Li Xiaonan is currently

misleading the audience so that they will lighten their suspicion of him,

but Chen Shen knows that

she has already stepped onto the one-way road of self sacrifice.

What kind of courage must it take?

Nobody here

will want to spare her life.

She is just like Shen Qiuxia.

She's using her own sacrifice to protect his cover,

so that he can continue carrying on her faith

and uncompleted mission.

I forgot to tell you; I made all these sushi myself.

Nobody else here has tasted them before.

Let me tell you;

if you help me find Sparrow,

you don't need to bear your past crimes. Also, you can receive

the highest honor.

If you try to trick me,

then I will let you know that there exists a place in this world

that is darker than hell.

Think about it carefully.

After you all heard Li Xiaonan's testimony,

you all probably have some words to tell me, right?

Director Su, do you have anything to say?

It's better to let Division Chief Bi talk first.

Fine then. We will let you all say it one by one.

- Division Chief Bi. - Yes.

You go first.

For Li Xiaonan to be able to move around under our watchful eyes for so long without us noticing her,

is enough to show how outstandingly scheming this woman is.

That's why no matter what she says or does today,

I will not be surprised.

Old Bi is right. Ever since she started to get near us,

she already made adequate preparations on what to do if she gets exposed.

She will do everything to gather information that can be used to blackmail us,

leave fabricated evidences,

so that she can have a retreat path when the time comes.

Even if she is unable to survive, she'll be able to pull some to die with her

and bring a huge blow to the Special Operations Division.

Right.

All of these are a trap she designed.

A set up to trap all of us.

It's so rare that you all are in agreement.

Then tell me, should I believe her

or believe you?

I am willing to fully cooperate with General Kagesa's investigation

to prove my innocence.

- Supervisor Li. - Here.

I am ordering you to investigate this case.

Yes.

I don't want to falsely accuse a meritorious officer,

but I also won't let a termite go.

I understand.

Everyone, sorry.

You all must stay here for tonight and undergo investigation.

Yes.

Boss, just tell me what you need for the next few days. I'll buy them for you.

It would be fine.

So what if you can't get out? You basically live here anyway, no difference.

Close the door.

Boss, what is it that you want to tell me?

I surely will help you.

If you might lose your life, will you still be willing to help me?

What is it?

Go to Xu Bicheng in my behalf.

Xu...

You were the one who hid Xu Bicheng?

Only today did I know that Li Xiaonan was actually Doctor.

Since I already know, I can't just sit and do nothing.

That's why, I must save her.

It is also saving myself. You are the only person left that can help me right now.

General Kagesa is brilliant. There were indeed some truths in Li Xiaonan's testimony.

Could it be that Sparrow is either Bi Zhongliang, Chen Shen,

or Su Sanxing?

The words said by this woman is just half true, half false.

I think she's trying to confuse us so she can cover up for that real spy.

That's why, we temporarily can't make any conclusions.

You mean to just observe for now?

The real Sparrow will surely won't just sit and wait to die.

Even if he is currently locked inside the Special Operations Division,
