Episode 8 recap: Song Zhuo Wu is full of loopholes.
Guan Xue asked Pan Yue where he was yesterday, but couldn't find him anywhere. Pan Yue said he was called to investigate a burglary at the home of the head of the inspection department. Guan Xue dismissed it as a minor matter and emphasized that capturing Manchurian Robin Hood was the most important task. Pan Yue confirmed that Song Zhuo Wen had indeed checked the household registration records. Guan Xue knew that he couldn't trust Song Zhuo Wen, but Pan Yue's suspicion was also reasonable. He always felt that someone was one step ahead of them. Song Zhuo Wen went to arrest the assassin without any flaws, but there was no evidence either.
Pan Yue decided to look for evidence. They took photos of the scene and discovered the clock that Song Zhuo Wu had moved. Although he had kicked it and broke it, Guan Xue remembered the time on it. According to logic, the clock should no longer be in use. Pan Yue quickly investigated the winding mechanism behind the clock.
Meanwhile, Song Zhuo Wen realized that this could leave traces and hurried back to the abandoned villa to destroy the evidence. He heard the sound of Pan Yue approaching and hastily hid. Pan Yue cautiously investigated and, using a magnifying glass, started examining the clock. Song Zhuo Wen became increasingly nervous.
There was a layer of dust on the winding mechanism, and Pan Yue felt that he might have been overly suspicious. He turned around and called Guan Xue to inquire about Song Zhuo Wen's place of residence, wanting to ask for more details. Song Zhuo Wen hurriedly returned home at the fastest speed, but Pan Yue was one step ahead of him.
Song Zhuo Wen quickly rushed back home and pretended to look like he had just woken up as he opened the door. While Song Zhuo Wu was having a meal, he heard about the incident of the boss being robbed by San Ye and publicly bullying a family. Song Zhuo Wu couldn't bear it any longer and gave him a beating. San Ye angrily pursued him with a knife, but Song Zhuo Wu killed him. The act of killing caused panic, and Song Zhuo Wu's police badge fell off.
Guan Xue received news that Song Zhuo Wen's identification was found at the crime scene, so he quickly rushed to his house. Song Zhuo Wen stammered and said that he had been hanging out with Xie Yue at the Paradise Gate that day, and it was also possible that he dropped it during the fight with Manchurian Robin Hood. Guan Xue keenly sensed that the murderer was likely Manchurian Robin Hood.
San Ye was dead, and there were many people at the scene, but no one dared to confirm what the murderer looked like. Song Zhuo Wu encountered Guan Kai on the street, and Guan Kai was surprised to see him.
Guan Xue took people with him to question the clue from the shopkeeper, and Song Zhuo Wen felt guilty, while the shopkeeper also glanced at him several times.
Guan Xue didn't believe Song Zhuo Wen's explanation. Even if he dropped his identification during the fight with Robin Hood, how could he have the time to search for it? Moreover, Song Zhuo Wen came from a police background. Did he not realize that his identification was missing for so long? Guan Xue kept a bullet in the gun, pointing it at Song Zhuo Wen, and said that if he didn't tell the truth, she could kill him and leave. Song Zhuo Wen owed his life to her, and he had nothing to say.
Song Zhuo Wen lowered his head and fabricated a lie. He didn't want to lose face in front of Guan Xue. He couldn't defeat Robin Hood, so he begged her to spare him. The condition set by that person was to hand over the identification. After saying all this, Song Zhuo Wen asked Guan Xue to shoot him. In the end, Guan Xue couldn't bring herself to do it. She was afraid of death and losing face, but if he didn't die, someone else would.
After this incident, Guan Xue asked Song Zhuo Wen to cook something delicious for her at her place. Song Zhuo Wen took this opportunity to bring up the topic of "Guo Bao Rou" (a popular dish), saying that he went to the railway and had enough money to eat Guo Bao Rou every meal. Song Zhuo Wen locked Song Zhuo Wu in bed, but he never expected to encounter Guan Kai again later.
In order to make sure that Guan Kai keeps the encounter with Song Zhuo Wu to himself, Song Zhuo Wen racked his brains. Pan Yue noticed that the restaurant owner was constantly watching Song Zhuo Wen and quickly shared his suspicions with Guan Xue. Guan Xue told him to search for Robin Hood like finding a needle in a haystack, and as for Song Zhuo Wen, she trusted him.
Song Zhuo Wen asked Guan Kai why he skipped class in the afternoon and who the man was, but Guan Kai didn't tell the truth. In the late night, Song Zhuo Wu went to assassinate Guan Xue and fired a shot without hesitation.
