.
Director Ye, please.
This is the last one.
The merchandise here is of good quality stone and timber materials,
which appreciates in value. Hardly anyone comes in.
What are you looking for?
I remember there seemed to be another warehouse.
Another warehouse... Oh!
The warehouse has been closed.
Open up, I want to see.
Why are there big boxes? What happened to all the merchandise?
Open this up.
[Ye Corporation Instruments]
Bring all these to the police station.
Second Master.
It has come to this.
I also can't save Ye Corporation.
When a Snail Falls in Love- Episode 12 -
Why is it you?
Dinner.
Don't go to such trouble the next time to buy me food.
You're injured.
I bought you some warm and nutritious congee,
and brewed a flask of tea for you.
You can return the flask to me tomorrow.
If you don't have to be out investigating these 2 days,
I'll buy you soup and congee which are helpful in healing of the wound, and also medicinal tea.
After you are done, I'll do the cleaning up.
You're injured. Once you have finished eating, you can rest.
Teacher, I'll leave first.
Teacher, Hu Zhishan and Lu Ge are both related to Jiahe labor market.
Could they have any connection among them?
I'm your teacher. If you want to continue to discuss with me about the case and doubts,
you don't need to go to such troubles.
What troubles?
Xu Xu, it's normal to know how the ways of the world.
It's good that you've learned that, but you don't have to do this with me.
If you want to come here and discuss about cases, baseless conjectures and your intuition with me, it's alright to do that.
But you don't have to butter me up.
I think you've misunderstood. I'm not trying to butter you up.
I'm not buying you nice food to get into your good books.
It's not even to discuss the case with you.
Then what is it for?
Why must there be a reason for it?
What?
I buy tasty food and brew tea for you, it's because I'm willing and happy to do it.
Do I still need another reason?
♫ How I wish to say that we are not in the wrong. ♫
♫ Just that the world is a circle ♫
What are you drawing?
♫ So round. After going one round, then we realize. ♫
This snail...
wishes to give the pearl to the lion?
♫ Between us, ♫
- Why is it so?- Because it likes him. ♫ day by day. Those stories that happened ♫
- Huh? ♫ weren’t discovered in time, ♫
This snail has fallen in love with the lion,
but the lion doesn't know
what this alien snail is thinking about in her brain.
♫ The breeze past my ears reminds me this is not ♫
- You are saying the snail has fallen in love with the lion? ♫ an illusion. Seeing everyday as a remembrance, ♫
That's right. The snail has fallen in love with the lion.
♫ Before the rain ceased, I suddenly wish to see your face once more. ♫
When the lion saved the snail the first time,
the snail had set her heart to repay the lion. After repaying, the snail would rush back to her planet.
♫ at happiness’ destination. ♫
But it's different the second time.
The second time, the lion fought with the grisly bear in order to save the snail.
Wow, the snail has forgotten how to be scared.
The look that she gave to the lion,
is full of love, full of concern.
♫ Seems to have vanished in the distance, yet still tugs at my heart. ♫
Fallen in love with him?
Yes. The snail has fallen in love with the lion.
So, initially, when the snail saw the lion, she found the lion to be very stern and fierce.
But now, it's different.
Now even when the lion blows his top, the snail finds him cute. Isn't that so?
♫ I suddenly wish to see your face once more. ♫
So the snail wants to share the best of everything with the lion.
For example, how her planet looks like?
For example, the small butterfly that was weaved using the knotweed.
And on the little grass, the smiley face on the
the pearl.
♫ How I wish to say that we are not in the wrong. ♫
♫ With time, I have finally understood. ♫
♫ The breeze past my ears ♫
- Fallen in love with him... ♫ reminds me this is not an illusion ♫
Don't move.
All these years, he has seen the expansion of Ye Corporation,
and how the children grow year by year.
All along he had been conscientious and earnest in following me.
Whatever I said, he would do.
He had kept a low profile, so much so that he was like a shadow.
He was so honest that he was like a block of wood.
I've never be on guard against him.
As to when he got himself involved in those things,
I really can't remember.
I didn't realize that I'd aged.
I've really aged.
My ears can't hear anything and my eyes can't see anything.
My brain has become so muddled and foolish.
It's all my fault for being such a useless person.
I don't think the company will collapse that quickly,
but the Ye household is already falling apart.
There's no going back.
Please show your ID.
Open and show me what's in that truck.
Let's go.
Open the door.
Open it!
Get him!
Catch him!
Don't move.
What's your name?
Yes, it is here.
Okay.
Stop moving and stand still.
- Sir, your wonton is ready. - Thank you.
- Could you grab me two pairs of chopsticks? - Sure.
Our purpose here is to be familiar with the situation here and find out about Jinmaitian Trading Corp.
See if we can find any clues about Hu Zhishan.
Thank you, sir.
Okay. Can you take a photo for me?
Come. One, two, three.
I just bought it, you can play with it.
What is this?
It's a pig.
Are you saying that I am stupid as a pig?
Of course not.
This pig was created based on a fairy tale series.
It is not a famous story but I love it.
I saw someone selling it at the market today.
I bought it without any hesitance.
What kind of story?
Let me tell you. Long, long ago,
there were a hippo and a pig. The hippo asked, "Can you build a house for me?"
The pig said yes and so he built the hippo a huge house.
The hippo was very happy.
But the hippo ran into a problem.
The hippo can't enter the house so he called the pig over.
Hippo said, "The house you built for me has a problem."
The pig asked, "What is the problem?" The hippo answered, "I can't enter the house."
"I am so sorry, Mr. Hippo. I designed the house based on my size, not yours."
The hippo got really angry and...
still forgave the pig.
Very interesting.
It's not funny, right?
What kind of story is this?
.
I heard Guan Nan's name twice. He's Chen Yong's partner-in-crime.
The one who gave us Lu Ge's name.
I heard Old Master wants to personally check the goods in tomorrow's exchange.
How's the preparations on your side?
It's still the same old thing.
Why haven't I seen that lad, Guan Nan lately? I'm still waiting for his goods.
He must be somewhere getting the goods.
This punk, he always gets the good ones.
You two go check over Guan Nan's background again.
He said he doesn't know where Lu Ge's base is. I think he really doesn't know.
But there will be someone who knows.
Guan Nan?
I think we need to give him a chance to reduce his sentence.
There will be once or twice every year.
News from the higher-ups would say that Old Master would be coming.
What happened when he came?
What else could he do? Pick out the people.
When the day was confirmed, everyone worked really hard.
Everyone went everywhere to find bright and good looking girls.
They'd keep the good ones. If anyone's goods was selected by Old Master,
then they would--
Would what?
Would be the lucky one.
Everyone would be envious of you and you'd become the latest hot-shot.
In your opinion, would Old Master
pick a girl like her?
Guan Nan, I see you have been behaving well.
We want to give you a chance to atone for your crimes.
Do you want to?
Yao Meng, remember your mission is the most important one for today.
And it is very dangerous. So be very cautious.
We will protect you throughout the process.
No news from Hu Shishan so far?
If we could find out earlier...
We are police, not prophets.
- Er Wa.- Hey.
- Where is Sister Zhao?- She's upstairs.
Okay.
Sister Zhao?
Am I... always a drag to the team every time?
It's alright.
With your teacher here, we're not afraid of you being a drag to us.
Wait here.
- What do you want, Boss? - One of those.
-This girl? - She is a fellow villager of my partner.
Sister, her family situation is not very good.
Her mom has cancer.
She wants to find a job and work here so she can buy medicine for her mom.
Wants to find work...
Not bad, I didn't think your acting skill would be that great.
A couple of days ago, a family was looking for a caregiver
to keep their old man company but he is not easy to get along with.
Others give five thousand a month but they're giving more. Seven thousand a month.
It includes meals and housing. That old man can care for himself.
You think she can--
No problem.
What are you waiting for? This is already a very nice salary.
Old folks nowadays aren't easy to get along with.
Right?
I'm willing to take the job.
She will take it.
Okay, then.
Go to Shitou Street tomorrow. I have an office there.
We need to do an interview because this family gave a high price.
There are many girls who want to take this job.
I want to go to Shitou Street.
I don't know if the old man who always wears Burmese Jade
will go and pick out the porcelain dolls himself or not?
If we confirm the deal, can you give me a half-month deposit?
Girl, this doesn't happen no matter where you go.
You are a newbie, and have no experience. Besides, if you're unsuccessful and end up running away with the money,
where can I go to find you?
Brother Guan,
I need to mail the money back to my mom tomorrow or her medicine will be discontinued.
I will go home then.
I can borrow money from others.
Why are you so anxious? Come back.
We can talk through this. Why are you rushing to leave? Come in, come in.
We can discuss again.
Sister, she's back.
Girl, you have quite a temper.
I said something wrong and yet you turned to leave.
No matter what it is we can discuss it, right?
Sister, her family really needs the money.
Every family needs money.
How about this? You prepare the money first,
after she passes the interview, she can send it to her family. What do you think?
Then how about this? Look,
you were introduced by Guan Nan; we are from the same town.
Based on his relationship with me, I can personally lend you three thousand and five hundred. Will this work now?
Yes.
-Er Wa. - Yes? -Come.
Bring her in and fill out the form.
How is it?
How much do you think she is worth?
This can't do.
It has been very difficult, how much more do you want?
Older Sister, she's got everything in her.
She's definitely worth more than this price. It should be triple the current amount.
If you and Secnd Brother can't decide this on your own,
then I'll bring her directly to show Old Master tomorrow. Do you want or not?
Let me tell you honestly. Old Master will be here tomorrow in the early morning.
How about this? You bring her over, and let him see
and decide personally? How about it?
Tomorrow, we'll go to Shitou Street and see if we can find Old Master,
and find a Burmese Jadeite for you.
Older sister, I've filled out the form.
Rest assured, I'll be on my best behavior so I can get chosen.
Okay!
I'm sure you will do alright tomorrow.
Let's go. Let's go home.
Why is your face so red?
Are you allergic to potato?
I'm not.
Why does it get redder? Are you alright?
Do you want to apply some medication or go to the hospital?
You were too close to me just now.
You are a man and I'm a woman.
Huh?
Such a small build,
yet you have many faults. Why are you differentiating between male and female when you're just an eccentric little monster?
The border office has replied according to the clues you provided.
Three groups of drug traffickers are discovered to be moving towards our border.
The southwestern anti-drug unit has arrived at the border office.
The Chief of Special Police Unit will be arriving in half-an-hour's time.
And there's news from Yuan City this morning.
Wan Dacai and Liu Shun in Case 521 were caught along the G21 Highway.
In their car, they discovered 7 kidnapped women.
At the same time, according to Wan Dacai, the leader of the cross border human trafficking ring, Lu Ge
will leave the country with a batch of kidnapped persons within the next few days.
The handover venue will be at Xincheng District of Lin City.
According to the news we received today, tomorrow morning
the core personnel of Jinmaitian, Lu Ge,
who is also known as Old Master, according to Guan Nan,
will personallyl go to a place 10 km away from Jiahe labor market,
at Shitou Street, Building No. 5 to check and do the handover.
Lu Ge is cunning and cruel, and he's rather secretive.
The downlines like Chen Yong and Guan Nan have never seen him.
I have some pictures which are suspected to be Lu Ge.
You can have a look.
How plausible are these pictures?
These were taken by other units when they were arresting the criminal groups during the past five years.
According to intelligence, Lu Ge is a 30- to 40-year-old man.
He has a big build, dresses frivolously yet is concerned with his upkeep.
Why?
Based on previous intelligence,
in almost every exchange venue, there's a secluded and comfortable residence nearby.
And there's always a separate cook with him.
Lu Ge is not only cunning and cruel. He's also very experienced.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have escaped every time without leaving any clues behind.
He destroys so many families and harms so many girls, it still not enough to vent our hatred even if he was sentenced to death.
You are a policeman, not the public who feels indignant.
And you, though you have been very brave these few times, you still have to remember
in case analysis and chasing after criminals,
we use our brains, not emotions.
Xu Xu, what other questions do you have?
Hu Zhishan.
Right, we can now confirm that he's the one who killed Ye Zixi.
It's a pity that we were too late.
Not only that.
From the kidnapping of Zhang Shiyong,
there are many clues pointing to the Ye family.
For example, that trading company, Jinmaitian.
Half of Ye's Corporation materials imported from Myanmar and Cambodia,
the equipment, instruments and blades were imported by them.
The person-in-charge of this company has links with the Jiahe labor market.
And the embezzled accounts of the overseas investment which Ye Zixi was in charge of,
and that one accounting report which
worsened the conflict between Ye family and her.
They are all connected.
But during the entire process of the interrogation,
I think, besides negligent homicide, there's also the problem of Ye Zixi's finance.
Ye Lanyuan, Ye Ziqiang and Ye Qiao don't have other criminal offenses,
- so...- So, committing a murder is not Hu Zhishan's only crime.
In another words, he kills because he wants to keep Ye Corporation's 1.9 billion for himself.
We can suspect that the connection between Ye Corporation and the Jiahe labor market,
is actually Hu Zhishan's connection with Jiahe labor market.
We have been tracking the movements of Jindun Group for a long time.
We once strongly suspected that
the headquarters of Jindun Corporation's drug trafficking business
was Longxi Group. But after years of investigation,
we haven't found any illegal actions by Ye Lanyuan.
But recently, we have made new progress.
Hu Zhishan who has fled across the border, must be the key to solving all these cases.
I've reported to Director-General Zhan to liaise with the Myanmar side.
Currently our team's task is to arrest Lu Ge, and to rescue the women he kidnapped
and we're planning to send men to the 3 nightclubs in Maijia city, Myanmar.
Ye Ziqiang and Ye Qiao are already being detained. Zhang Shiyong is missing and Ye Lanyuan is being investigated.
Zhao Han, inform Team 1. Have them get ready to monitor Ye Lanyuan.
Make sure that he doesn't leave the country and he must be monitored by the police.
For tomorrow's operation, the Provincial Public Security Department has deployed two Special Unit Teams,
together with 4 snipers to assist in our operation.
We must round up Lu Ge and his gang in one fell swoop.
Everyone has worked hard during this period. We have to start the operation at 4 a.m.
Today, no one is to work over-time to look at reports.
Everyone go back early and have a good rest.
Dismissed.
