Episode 9 recap: The murderer emerged.
Assistant Wang Ping arrived at the internet cafe and took out a cellphone. A woman took a piece of paper and wiped the blood off her hands. She discovered a game console there and even ate the potato chips nearby. Zhou Qi and his team arrived with people to investigate and coincidentally saw the woman coming out. People on this side fished something out of the river and called Guan Yu to come and take a look.
Initially, Assistant Wang Ping called Jin Zhu Hua and asked her to kill Yan Hong Qiao, inquiring if she could accomplish it. Jin Zhu Hua said there was no problem. Assistant Wang Ping took out Yan Hong Qiao's gun and gave it to her, instructing her to return the gun afterward. It was originally Yan Hong Qiao's gun to avoid any trouble.
Jin Zhu Hua agreed and entered the company, but was stopped by a security guard. The guard asked her to leave, thinking she looked like a beggar. Jin Zhu Hua killed the security guard because he spoke disrespectfully. Yan Hong Qiao heard the commotion downstairs and went to investigate, seeing Jin Zhu Hua holding a knife. She hurried back to find the gun, but it was no longer there.
Chen Xiao Ming heard the noise and came out to investigate. Jin Zhu Hua approached him and asked if he was looking for this. Yan Hong Qiao was surprised to see Jin Zhu Hua holding the gun. Yan Hong Qiao pulled Chen Xiao Ming in front of her as a shield, and Jin Zhu Hua called Chen Xiao Ming over, holding his hand and killing Yan Hong Qiao.
Jin Zhu Hua claimed that Chen Xiao Ming was the one who fired the gun, and when the police arrived, she would tell them that. Assistant Wang Ping also entered, and Jin Zhu Hua mentioned that it was initially agreed to handle one person, but now three had been taken care of, asking Assistant Wang Ping to pay her more.
Chen Xiao Ming jumped from upstairs. Assistant Wang Ping brought Ma Xiao Jing to the factory and Ma Xiao Jing didn't understand how he had offended him. Assistant Wang Ping asked Ma Xiao Jing who instructed him to deal with Yang Xue Song, and Ma Xiao Jing quickly said it was himself.
Assistant Wang Ping said that when the police arrived, Ma Xiao Jing should tell them the same story. Guan Yu arrived with his team, and Assistant Wang Ping threw Yang Xue Song's cellphone into the machine in front of them.
Assistant Wang Ping and Ma Xiao Jing were arrested. Zhou Qi wanted to take the fragments back for reconstruction, but they were already too shattered, and there were many other things that made it impossible.
Over in Haina, Feng Gen was captured, and Guan Yu instructed them to interrogate him there. Jin Zhu Hua made a phone call back, but her son said that the police came to arrest her and that she was a bad person. Zhou Qi happened to see Jin Zhu Hua there and quickly chased after her.
Jin Zhu Hua ran into a store and grabbed a little girl inside. Zhou Qi urged Jin Zhu Hua to calm down and release the girl first. Jin Zhu Hua demanded that they prepare a car for her and let them leave. Zhou Qi asked the others to leave and instructed them to call the special forces.
Jin Zhu Hua went outside and when she was about to get in the car, the prepared special forces shot and killed her. Now, Yang Si's situation has settled down, but since he destroyed the evidence, he will still be sentenced and sent to the detention center. Yang Si accepted this outcome and wanted to see his son.
Guan Yu had already mentioned that at this critical moment, it would be risky if he found out that Yang Xue Song was dead, so they decided not to inform him for now. Two police officers were discussing this matter outside the car and Yang Si overheard them. On the way, Yang Si fought with the police officers, and the car overturned. County Chief Qi expressed that Assistant Wang Ping's situation has become quite bad, and they shouldn't let her participate in the investment promotion meeting.
Officials from the disciplinary commission came to see County Chief Qi and said that Assistant Wang Ping was suspected of violating discipline and needed to be taken away for investigation. His subordinates brought Wang Ping here, saying that Assistant Wang Ping had left something for her. In the past, Wang Ping saved Assistant Wang Ping, and Assistant Wang Ping rented a house here.
Wang Ping's family prevented her from going to school and defamed her at the school gate, so Wang Ping could only attend night school. Later, Wang Ping met Yan Hong Qiao at the factory. Feng Gen was being interrogated here and said that at that time, Yan Hong Qiao took Zhou Qi away, which made him very dissatisfied.
Wang Ping asked Feng Gen to deal with Yan Hong Qiao and handed him the gun, and Feng Gen took it out.
The drama is good, but there are a few shortcomings in the acting. One is that Wang Ping's performance lacks the essence that Er Mazzi had! Secondly, the female police officer, Zhong Yi, didn't portray the emotions of a normal victim at the crime scene.
She completely failed to express the grief and indignation towards her comrade's sacrifice. It's not necessary to cry out loud, but she shouldn't have been indifferent either. She showed no normal reaction and just stood there with her hands in her pockets.
It was only when she saw the knife that she showed a shocked expression, covering her mouth, rather than displaying sorrow and heartache.
It was believed that Yang Si killed Yang Xue Song, deliberately leaving evidence at the crime scene to take the blame. Yang Xue Song witnessed the murder and fled, but Feng Gen and Wang Er Mazi caught up with him and killed him.
Huang Mao was not involved in Yan Hong Qiao's death, but he helped Feng Gen and Wang Er Mazi dispose of Yang Xue Song's body. In the first episode, apart from the police, the main characters present at the crime scene were Feng Gen, who arrived first and showed great concern for Yan Hong Qiao's death.
Moreover, the handgun was obtained by Feng Gen through someone else, so the two main suspects are Feng Gen and Wang Er Mazi. Wang Er Mazi is more likely, but it's also possible that Chen Xiao Ming killed Yang Xue Song.
Feng Gen provided the key for the drawer, which he gave to Chen Xiao Ming. In fact, Chen Xiao Ming loved Yang Xue Song. When Yan Hong Qiao tried to kill Yang Xue Song, Chen Xiao Ming shot and killed Yan Hong Qiao to save him.
Knowing that she had taken a life and had no way out, her emotions were complicated. She betrayed love, apologized to Yang Xue Song, and shot Yan Hong Qiao, regretting what he had given her. Under multiple emotions, she couldn't bear it and jumped off the building to commit suicide.
Yang Xue Song had no choice but to run. During his escape, he was seen by Yang Si, who entered the corporate building and saw the dead body. Thinking that his son committed the crime, Yang Si left behind his medal, knife, fingerprints, and footprints to take the blame for his son.
However, he knew that the police would suspect him of perjury, so he bought a train ticket to create the appearance of wanting to escape. It was all a ploy to make the police suspect him.
