I didn't do it...
It wasn't me
I didn't do it...
I didn't...
"Workers Dormitory, No. 50 Arms Factory"
A-qi!
I told you to be here by the time the sand ran out
Where have you been?
How... did you get down?
It's a secret
Do you want to try?
- Write this down for me - Alright
During hanging
the neck area in contact with the rope...
bruises with red ligature marks
the face turns blue
blood vessels in the eye burst
The hyoid bone and tongue are intact
If the hyoid bone was fractured
it would be strangulation
Therefore, Li Zhongmin's wife did not kill him
His death was a suicide
A suicide?
Another wrongful conviction
Are you alright?
Of course...
I'm not alright
"Warden"
Warden
Please, no more crazy stunts
You hung yourself this time
Will you shoot yourself next time?
Probably, but I only have one life
I won't take chances
- Please sit - No need
I insist
Alright
Listen, in a little while
a high-ranking police official will come to see you
I beg you, please don't offend him
I beg you not to beg me
You're the warden; I'm not worthy
Don't be so modest
You spend more time here than I do
If you get fired
who will do my job?
I heard that you socialize with the inmates
You listen to their stories
and even record them in a book
It's just a hobby
Then you should retract the many letters of appeal...
sent to NPA over the past 8 years
To you, they're just letters
To them, it's a matter of life and death
You know
rather than overturning wrongful convictions
why not prevent them from happening?
The bureau is impressed with your investigative talents
You've been reassigned to Tiancheng as the new NPA Officer
You are to report to headquarters
Your task is to stamp out corruption within the force
Go!
The higher-ups have decided to turn the arms factory...
into a big business
It's a perfect opportunity for us to make money
The sum we agreed upon last time...
Did you bring it?
Damn
Chief... no
Fine
I suppose you're not in then
Yes, yes...
Boss
Help me... He tried to kill me
I thought he was a wild boar
An officer's job is to protect citizens
There's no room for error!
What if Mr. Huang was shot by accident instead?
What then?
I'm sorry!
What if you aren't so lucky next time
and kill Mr. Huang, then what?
I'm sorry!
It won't happen!
I've been very lucky lately
I got to meet a great business partner like you
I couldn't be happier!
From now on, I'll do as Chief Jin says
I promise to invest
I don't want any complications from the factory girl's death
The day I retire
a lot of high officials will come
I want everyone to have a good time
Understood
Be certain
Chief
Please accept this
Please consider my promotion
You'll always be my chief
Many people want this position
The higher-ups are sending someone to oversee this matter
His price won't be less than mine
Of course
Where has Guo Zhui disappeared to?
He's working the red-light district
Baby...
What're you doing? Hurry
Wait, I need to hang the lanterns
I can't wait!
Coming! What's the hurry?
What's wrong with you?
- Crazy! - Are you blind?
Stop the traffic
Hey, move over!
Please give way!
Are you crazy or just tired of living?
Get off the road!
Trying to get yourself killed?
The suspect is about 5 ft 9
weighs about 165 catties
roughly 25 to 35 years of age
How can you tell?
I weigh 138 catties
My footprints are shallower than his
From there, I estimated his height and weight
His long stride...
suggests that he's a young man
His steps appear irregular
He probably hurt himself during the jump
The heel of his right shoe is more worn than the left
because...
he leads with his right foot
ls there such a thing as the perfect crime?
Let me tell you a true story
In 1924 up north
a perfect murder was committed
Wu Zhongguo was a simple merchant
The police later found a diary in his room
and discovered that Wu was plotting to kill his wife
He researched every possible method to kill her
Some were bizarre
Others were horrific
One was almost perfect
But Wu eventually realized that
the greatest obstacle was not how to kill
but the evidence left behind
You see, corpses speak to us
Even a blood splatter may tell us if it was murder or suicide
Clues are left behind at every crime scene
All mysteries can be solved eventually
Wu concluded that:
the perfect crime...
wasn't about making the case unsolvable...
but finding the perfect scapegoat
His wife found the diary earlier in the day
She killed him instead
Neighbors also testified that Wu often beat his wife
Thus, she's being let off on all charge
reason as self-defense
Why is it considered a perfect crime?
Because Mrs. Wu fabricated the diary
What happened to her?
Did the police figure it out?
She turned herself in two years ago
Sit down
Show me your notebook
The person who discovers the body
9 times out 10 turns out to be the murderer
Really?
Really
I'm a prime example
You refused to see me for the past 2 years
What changed your mind?
Let's play a game
If I answer a question from you, you must answer one from me
Alright
Why turn yourself in?
Do you have secrets?
Keeping secrets is a torture
Sometimes it makes your heart itch
Sometimes it hurts like a knife
Life is too long for me to keep secrets
Why have you never married?
Is that a question?
Never thought about it
That's it
Cheapskate
Why didn't you destroy
Wu's fake diary?
I was hoping someone would eventually catch me
Or perhaps I wanted a keepsake
What was the sweetest thing...
you ever said to a person you loved?
Take care
How did you get Wu...
to beat you?
I only agreed to see you today
because I knew you were going away
Leave the rest for next time
Am I a bad person?
I have faith in humanity
I listen to inmates tell their stories
because I want to know...
why good people do bad things
You're just another...
good person gone bad
Take care
Are you...
l am
- Allow me - Thank you
This way
The Chief said there's no room...
in the general office
We set up your office here
That's good
The file room actually suits me better
I'm surrounded by treasures
I should get going
Of course
They feed us scraps and still haven't paid us
What can we do?
I don't know
Yan, come eat
Spare us and we'll pray for you
What nonsense are you spouting?
She cursed us!
"The Phantom Bullet will kill you all"
You mean... like this?
You're crazy!
I can say whatever I want
Go to hell!
How dare you!
What's going on?
Tired of living?
What are you idiots staring at?
Look at these bullets you made
They're garbage like the lot of you!
You're garbage!
- All you do is bark! - You're dead!
That's enough
Stop!
Calm down
- Let go of me! - Xiaoqi
Chen Qi, you're just another evil foreman
Let go!
Xiaoqi, you'd better watch your back
Go back to your meal
Mess with me? You're a dead man
It's done
Thank you, sir
Master
Everything is arranged
- Guo Zhui! - Master!
- Zhui, don't! - Let go...
Zhui!
What's this?
We have no evidence to hold him
No, he's set free only because
he's a rich man's son
Go ahead
Shoot him
Shoot him!
Will justice be served by killing him?
So...
Next time you see him, don't arrest him
Just aim for his back... BANG
Song Donglu, the new NPA Officer
Let's have dinner tonight
Fine
Chief
There's trouble at the factory
Take Xiaowu with you
Did anyone move the body?
Boss told us not to touch anything
I kept watch until you arrived
The bullet entered his forehead...
and exited through the back to this wall
But there's no bullet in the wall
Where did it go?
Phantom Bullet...
The curse is real!
Yan was here!
It must be her!
Perhaps the bullet ricocheted?
Impossible
The bullet clearly penetrated the wall
Where is it?
How did the bullet...
vanish?
Damn you
It's clearly homicide
The bullet didn't vanish; you just can't find it
Idiot
Agreed
Chen Qi knew the killer
The shot was fired at close range
Chen was likely conversing with the killer...
and caught off-guard
When a person expects danger
he clenches his fists
Chen's hands were relaxed
His pupils were not dilated when he died
That means he didn't expect the attack
It's possible that the killer is...
someone from the factory
Perhaps it was you?
I hear you're the fastest gun in Tiancheng
I'm glad...
I got to witness you in action
But you were summoned here today
to find the killer
not to cause more trouble
Mr. Ding
Did you get a haircut?
Very sharp
Really?
Guo Zhui, Captain of Team 3
Song Donglu, the new NPA officer
Li Jia, a friend of mine
- Hello - Pleased to meet you
This hair is mine
The other one was found next to Chen's body
Its end is sheared at an angle...
it was cut recently
That eliminates Chen Qi
The hair could belong to the killer
There is a lot of charcoal carbon on this hair
Perhaps someone from the factory?
Mr. Ding
Wang Hai also just cut his hair
Excuse me
How did it go?
No one talked
I don't know anything
You mentioned a curse
No...
I didn't
But I found out
Chen scuffled with a worker named Xiaoqi
Everyone here wanted him dead
Xiaoqi didn't kill him
He was here working
like everyone else
It's true! I saw him here
I was here, I can vouch for him
Me too
I can vouch for him
These are...
Duds. They can't be used
Duds can be used...
if you refill the gunpowder in the casings
Don't frighten Joan!
She's only playing with you
Joan?
A friend invited her from abroad
I've been treating her wound
That's all
Where do they send the duds to?
To Wang Hai
Excuse us...
for making an unannounced visit
Have you found the killer yet?
The maker of the phantom bullet...
is the killer
Then it could be you
You're smarter than me
As for who is faster...
that's hard to say
Guo Zhui, what's your relationship with Wang Hai?
Wang is quite a character
We served in the army together
He later worked as a hired gun
He'd kill anyone for money
Did you find something back there?
Well...
There was something strange about his room...
but I couldn't put my finger on it
What should I do?
This is dirty money
a gift from our bosses
Take it or you'll be targeted
If not, donate it somewhere
Give some of it back
I want to treat Donglu...
to this meal
Well
But you must solve this puzzle first
Extract the chopstick
without touching the bottle
or breaking it
Is this your first time here?
Yes
Do you like it here?
Yes. I'm surrounded by treasures
My treasure!
Yes, Miss Fang
Thanks for rescuing me the other day
Have you heard of the Phantom Bullet?
So...
Okay then, take this
Write your name
Little Lark is wise
Between November and March
something happened to you
something terrible
A dark star entered your chart
It could be a fiscal loss...
or even a loss of a life
My father passed away
I see
But you must still be careful
Because the dark star is still present
What's your animal sign?
Horse
It's a fire sign
The dark star is a water sign. They are in conflict.
Something worse awaits you
But don't worry
I can counter the dark star's effects
This amulet will keep you safe
Thank you
What if I was smiling...
instead of frowning?
What would you say then?
I would predict bright lights
and good fortune
because of an auspicious star in your chart
In the end
I would give you the same amulet
I'm impressed
How astute. You should be a detective
Have you ever heard of...
the phantom bullet?
The curse originated there
They say it was written in blood
"The Phantom Bullet will kill you all"
Shortly after the words appeared
Ding ordered his men to wash it off
What does the curse mean?
A batch of bullets went missing from the factory
Mr. Ding accused a worker named Yan of stealing them
It wasn't me...
You still deny it?
Fine
Let the heavens judge!
If I've falsely accused her
this bullet...
will pierce my skull!
If you didn't steal them
the heavens will spare you
It wasn't me
I didn't do it
Yan!
See?
She stole the bullets!
For harboring a thief, all workers will have...
their pay
deducted for the next 3 months!
Let's see who dares to go on strike again!
You call this justice?
It was a lynching
It's the rules of the arms factory:
Let the heavens judge
Who told you this?
The factory workers came to me for blessings
That's how you learned the story
2 weeks ago
A worker named Yan...
was accused of stealing bullets
In the end, the heavens punished her
Everyone..
Assume the same positions you were that day
Let's re-enact the scene
How do you expect us to remember?
Alright
Let's begin!
Pretend he's Mr. Ding and I'm Yan
Take the same positions you were that day
Go on
Hurry
Good. Let's begin
Where was Chen Qi standing?
- Beside Mr. Ding - Yes, over there
Right there
Now I'm Chen Qi
Where was Yan?
Kneeling behind you
Here?
That's right
No...
Mr. Ding handed the gun to Chen
and Chen handed it to Yan
You lied!
You said you were here to find Chen's killer
That's why I summoned all the workers
That's right
I believe that Chen's murder
is connected to Yan's death
But if I discover foul play behind Yan's death
I will not let the culprit go free
Are you saying...
I'm the culprit?
In that case
do you want to bet on it?
The heavens will judge?
- Yes! - Let's do it now
Heavens and earth must first be in harmony
Today is not auspicious
Tomorrow then!
Your auspicious day is not aligned with mine
What about 7 days from now?
It's a deal!
If you go back on your word
you have to eat my shit!
Dismissed!
Donglu
How did you know Ding would back out?
I didn't
I acted on impulse
It's a bad habit that I must break
What happens in 7 days?
If the case is not solved by then
I will be subject to heaven's will
You might have to eat his shit
He's dead
No gunpowder odor, rules out suicide
Xiaowu, shut the door
No secret doorways...
Since we heard the shot
we've haven't seen another soul
No windows here, only an air vent
It's murder in a sealed room
There is a key difference...
between this body and Chen's
What's different?
The bullet didn't exit the body
Any similarities?
The bone appears shattered
but there's no bullet
Where did the bullet go?
There's no bullet...
the room was sealed...
Perhaps Yan did return to take revenge
There are ligature marks
He was executed
Not necessarily
What?
What are you saying?
Someone's coming! Hide!
Behind the door
I have to hide too!
Zhuo, rest in peace
May your death...
bring an end to your suffering
Hello
This is the Engineering Department
We don't design our own weapons
We simply copy the foreign models
and make minor modifications
Do you believe in the curse?
I've done no evil
therefore I fear no evil
Impressive
This constant banging is driving me crazy!
The lady upstairs is going crazy
She's downstairs
I'm sure the voice came from upstairs
It's an echo
What are these?
I grew up in the plains
We hunted everyday
We made bullets from ice in winter
and shot them with crossbows
The ice....
melts inside the game's carcass
the bullet disappears
It's not working
Ice bullets melt when the gunpowder ignites
Try the crossbow
Me?
The entry wound doesn't match the victim's
It's not about the site of the murder
but the timing!
The killer was waiting for us
that's why he tied Zhuo up
When he saw us enter the corridor
he killed Zhuo with a crossbow
and fled the scene
A crossbow makes no sound
What about the gunshot we heard?
I haven't figured it out yet
If the bullet was fired from a crossbow
It should still be in Zhuo's body
But something else puzzles me
it's also the key to solving this murder case...
What?
The three of us
Examine the body again
See if you can find any foreign substances
Foreign substances? Like what?
I'm not attracted to younger men
I wasn't...
I admire that
Jealous
Look
Li Jia's face appears cool
but her body language tells another story
Oh... women...
are born liars
What does a man like you know about women?
I don't?
See that girl?
She's flirting with me
You're nosy
and secretive
you always say the wrong thing
You're no better
You're stubborn, unfeeling
Only one woman has ever loved you
- You don't even have one - How did you guess?
It's only temporary
You must have scared her off?
It's possible
You never finished your sentences
You've deduced that Zhuo was killed by crossbow...
the bullet was likely made from a foreign substance
But you haven't explained
how the three of us are involved in this murder
When the time is right
I will tell you
Here we go again
Be patient
I found absolutely nothing
"Bet with Mr. Ding - 5 days left"
Donglu
Perfect timing
As you know, I made a bet with Mr. Ding
If I fail to solve the mystery of heaven's will
I'll need this as back-up
What is it?
A bullet-proof vest
newly-invented by an expert
Has it been tested?
Not yet, let's test it now
Back up a little
What if it fails?
I was going to test it on myself
But if I die, who will modify it?
It's just one shot
Wait!
If they shoot here, the vest won't help
In the head, of course
You've got mail!
Mail?
Donglu
how's your new job?
After you left
my life here is the same as before
very peaceful
You asked me the last time
how did I get Wu to beat me?
I'll tell you now
I began to plan the murder
a year ahead
To frustrate him
I refused to have sex with him
I also left behind false clues
to convince him that I was having an affair
In the end, he snapped and hit me
You knew the answer...
before you asked
But you were in denial
I knew that the beatings would attract attention
My neighbors could serve as my witnesses
The closer I got to my goal
the more abuse I had to endure
But I didn't expect
the feeling of inner joy...
was far greater than any physical pain
Do you hear something?
What's that sound?
Wake up
"The phantom bullet is going to kill you all"
Yan is back!
She did it to herself. Why come after us?
Perhaps she was innocent
- Stand back! - Let me out!
Go back!
Let me out!
- Shut up! - Listen!
No one is allowed to leave today!
Has the killer been caught?
A vengeful ghost appears to be responsible for the murders
- Is this true? - Any leads?
How will you pacify the terrified workers?
The whole town is in a panic. What's your plan?
I came here...
is to oversee the election of the next Police Chief
But I'm here to announce that
the county government's new priority
is to catch the serial killer!
- Let us out! - You're under contract!
No one leaves!
We'll be killed if we stay here!
That's right!
- I don't want to die! - We want to see Mr. Ding!
- Mr. Ding...
He's over there!
Mr. Ding
- Let us go! - Step back!
- No one leaves! - Stop beating!
We're on strike
until the killer is caught indefinitely!
Strike! Strike!
Arrest them all!
Strike! Strike!
Alright, alright
Everyone
I'll handle this!
If this gets any bigger
even I can't protect you
We're in the same boat
Don't even think about jumping ship
Don't tell me what to do
You dog
You're on my payroll
do something
Are you tired of living?
I can kill you and shut down the factory
Kill me?
Go ahead
My dear chief
let's be clear about who's the boss around here
What if the Commissioner gets hold of this ledger?
It contains your bank records
"Phantom Bullet Triggers Citywide Panic"
This way
Last night a worker from the factory came to me
with information about the murders
He said that a worker named Xiaotao...
claimed that Yan was innocent
her death wasn't the will of the Heavens
I witnessed it. I must report it!
What's the use? Just keep quiet!
Because of this
Xiaotao fought with Zhuo over it
He decided to go to the police
Then...
he disappeared
There was a fire recently
Xiaotao's entire family died
What caused the fire?
All three were killed. No one knows
The fire must have started here
This spot is the most charred
You've improved
But the fire's hottest spot...
is the whitest
Wood becomes charcoal
and eventually turns to ash
The ashes fall into piles like snow
There are two piles of white ashes in this house
Therefore the fire had two points of origin
It was arson!
Where are the bodies?
This way
This one is Xiaotao
That's his sister
That one is his mother
Victims who are burned alive
must have put up some sort of struggle
They will inhale a lot of smoke
through both the nose and mouth
Look
Their mouths are clean
It proves that...
they were killed
before the fire was set
Xiaowu, exhume the nearby corpses
The others don't have shrouds
They were buried in a hurry
Look at how this body is wrapped
Does it remind you of anything?
Wang Hai might have killed...
to avenge Xiaotao and Yan
Chen Qi took the gun from Mr. Ding...
linking him to Yan's death
If Zhuo was Chen's accomplice
what was his role?
The gun found next to Chen's body had one bullet
Zhuo's had two
Why the extra bullet?
The killer wanted to tip us off about "heaven's will"
If so, there'll be another victim
- There's trouble - What happened?
They attack Little Lark's stall!
What are you doing?
Shut up and go!
You don't know when to keep quiet
Keep it up!
This will shut you up...
for good!
You're laughable!
- What're you looking at? - Leave!
Damn you!
There!
Sir, do you need a ride?
Are you trying to steal?
No... I can explain...
- it's a mistake... - Stop!
Don't you run off without paying!
Stop her!
Don't let her go!
Go away! Stay out of this!
Are you deaf?
Go!
You'll get killed!
Leave or I'll kill you too!
Go!
Get lost!
Go away!
You'll get killed...
Why are you staring at me?
I just realized...
how much I like watching you
The sight of you working hard
makes me happy
It's true
I want to make a home...
with you...
even for just one day
I'm not the family type
Being with a loved one...
having a sense of security...
no matter where
"Bet with Mr. Ding - 2 days left"
You alright?
How do you make sure your gun kills?
Load it with bullets
How do you make sure it doesn't kill?
Empty out the bullets
You just solved the mystery of "heaven's will"
Don't!
The first bullet I loaded was a dud
That's why it didn't kill me
How did it become fully loaded later?
How did you load six bullets at once?
That fateful day
Xiaotao and Zhuo must have seen Ding switch bullets
Little Lark and Chen Qi both saw the same thing:
the gun was fully loaded
I kept thinking that
Chen and Zhuo were murdered
because they played
a part in Yan's death
I never imagined they were merely witnesses
The killer left bullets in the guns...
to let us know that
the gun in Yan's hand was fully loaded
She didn't stand a chance
It wasn't heaven's will
but murder
Yang will likely be the next victim!
Nowadays
it's every man for himself
You're on your own
I don't care, it's not my fault
I don't want to care, also not my fault
Not caring, definitely not my fault!
Quick!
Who sent you?
Who?
Back off!
Are you responsible for everything?
He's dead!
The deaths had nothing to do with the curse!
Now that the killer is dead
it's time to end the strike!
Everything can go back to normal, right?
I can't!
I still see Yan standing by my bed every night
Mr. Ding...
I promise...
to expose all your crimes!
- What did you say? - Break it up
Break it up!
I'm in charge here!
Case closed!
Withdraw!
Troublemaker!
Why did you kill Xiaotao?
I didn't
Then why was your ring...
found at the scene of the fire?
How should I know?
I could have lost it
Or someone stole it and planted it in Xiaotao's house
Xiaowu
Think before you answer
I didn't do it, I'm telling the truth
You're a cop, you must know
there's a motive for every murder
I had nothing to do with the three victims
Why would I kill them?
We didn't say anything about three victims
Let go!
I didn't... do it
Guo Zhui, go to hell
Guo Zhui
Let go
Zhui, it'll kill him!
Let go!
You can't kill him without a trial!
I don't care! I said let go!
I'll talk... I'll talk...
It was Chief Jin's idea
Xiaotao came to the station that day
He said that "the heaven's will" was a scam
Mr. Ding's gun was loaded with a dud
I can testify
What was his motive?
He was holding out on wages
The workers were ready to strike
He killed Yan to scare the workers
Chief Jin wanted to cover it up
He told me to follow Xiaotao home...
...make it look like an accident
I had no choice
I told you everything
We did it
You stay here
Pull me up!
Guo Zhui!
Freeze!
Fat Boy?
Is he dead?
Are you alright?
I felt a chill
Donglu
I just figured out...
how to get the chopstick...
out of the bottle
Fill up the bottle with water...
and the chopstick floats up
Am I right?
Yes
What happened?
How did all these people die?
The two of them...
how could you?
You got your brothers killed!
It was you!
You're responsible for everything!
You'll pay
Let's go!
Caps on!
Salute!
If you continue this investigation
your career will be over
You may even lose your life
You're so far from home
Is it worth it dying for?
What about you?
You've pissed off every crook in Tiancheng
You'll get killed sooner or later
It's not the same
My home is here
I must carry on the investigation
Even if I can't change the world
I must stay true to myself
I'm not afraid
I've already reserved a gravesite
a quiet spot
You want one too?
You'll join me eventually
Then get me a spot higher up
At high spot
I'll have a better view
There're two differences between Yang's body and the others
One, the bullet is still lodged in the body
Our killer doesn't leave bullets
And two?
Fewer shattered bones
Let's re-examine the bodies of Chen and Zhuo
This bone fragment has been filed down
It was hidden among the other fragments
I almost missed it
The phantom bullet...
is actually bone bullets!
When I was searching Wang Hai's room
something didn't feel right
Now I know why
I found gunpowder and casings on his desk
but no bullets
because the bullets were made of bone
Wang Hai was the killer
The phantom bullets scared Ding
He's after the killer
and has probably already set a trap
It was you?
What's so funny?
The fastest gun in Tiancheng isn't Guo Zhui
but me!
Chief, Ding is dead
The killer's gone
I'm also curious...
who's the fastest gun?
I never guessed it was him
We did everything
to lure him out
he didn't stand a chance
You did us proud!
Cut the charade
You ordered the deaths of Xiaotao and his family
You let Ding kill Yan to cover up your own involvement
Where's the proof?
This is the proof!
You killed Xiaowu
You've got it all wrong!
What's this then?
Just my notebook
But Ding had a ledger that could implicate Chief Jin
Listen
If I escape with my money
in just a few months
I'll just hit another town and start over
All you can do is watch my rise to power
Guo Zhui, learn to see the bigger picture
Get out! Get out!
Stay away!
You can't go in. Stay here
He's okay
I hereby announce
Guo Zhui's new appointment
as Chief Constable of Tiancheng Police Department
Donglu
I never expected you to write back
You even described a most interesting case
You asked
how Wang Hai knew you'd use the corridor to get to...
the sealed room?
You figured it out long ago
You suspect that someone around
But you were in denial
Something else puzzles me
it's also the key to solving this murder case...
What?
The three of us
Facing the truth is painful
isn't it?
Chief
Mail
I finally solved the murder in the sealed room
See you there at 3pm
Why are you smiling like that?
Did a girl write you a love letter?
Donglu, never changes
I'll see you tonight
The banquet is in your honor
Don't be late
I will... not
Only the architect of the sealed room murder
knows that the gunshot sound came from here
You're the architect
You once said: it was an echo
You purposely tried to lead us here
Why leave evidence behind?
Are you here to arrest me
or to learn the truth?
You should know me by now
Let's play a game
You get one question if you live
If you die
I'll make sure your body gets home
I'll go first
How did you guess I was the mastermind?
If revenge was the motive
Wang didn't need to create a murder mystery
It was designed to spread panic...
to force Chief Jin to step down
The one with the most to gain is always the mastermind
Did Wang Hai know about you?
He only cares about money
I put instructions and his fee in a red packet
Little Lark delivered it
Did you begin to suspect me
after I came to talk to you?
How are the three of us involved in this murder?
When the time is right
I will tell you
Here we go again
I didn't want to...
suspect you
Your kindness to Little Lark...
gave me hope that you weren't a bad man
What was her involvement?
She only did what I asked
She didn't ask questions
I see
It's better for her this way
Two rounds left
Did you consider killing me?
Yes
But I changed my mind
You didn't deserve to die
I only did one bad thing
But in the end, it was all in the name of justice
More lives will be saved!
And you?
You only get involved after the fact...
when the victims are already dead!
Do you think you do more good than me?
You sacrificed lives in the pursuit of justice
What kind of justice is that?
If I asked for a chance to go free today
would you let me go?
You know that I'm the fastest gun in Tiancheng
l do
I promise
as long as my heart beats
I'll always protect you
"There's no such thing as a perfect crime, just good people gone bad"
Am I a bad person?
I have faith in humanity
I listen to inmates tell their stories
because I want to know
why good people do bad things
You're just another
good person gone bad
