Episode 38 recap: Public Trial and Death Sentence for the Big Bridge
In Episode 38, Ou Xiao An was burning with a desire to expose the true nature of the Big Bridge guy. He felt fearless, but Shen Cong Wu and Li Shao Tang didn't want to really go after him. However, Qin Mo Qing was extremely worried, saying the risk was too high - if they failed, it would all be over.
Ou Xiao An didn't care about all that, his only focus was on how to rescue Ye Xuan Min. He secretly left a signal for Nakamura, telling him to quickly contact the organization and get out of Chongqing. Nakamura wanted to stay and help as a witness, but Ou Xiao An wouldn't have it - he gave Nakamura a new identity and told him to get out of there fast.
On Shen Cong Wu's side, they had everything ready for the Big Bridge's trial. The plan was that as soon as the Big Bridge was convicted, Li Shao Tang would go find the bioweapon that had harmed people. When Li Shao Tang heard this, he understood - the Americans just wanted to help the Nationalists, but really to get something out of it for themselves, saying their technical expertise deserved a share. Shen Cong Wu felt confident, after all he still had Ye Xuan Min and the others as live evidence.
Miao Jiang was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, convinced that Li Shao Tang was the one who killed Feng Yu Nian. Hezi also hoped the Big Bridge would be in trouble, but she didn't want to betray the Japanese side, so she could only wait and watch for an opportunity. Wang Qiu Shui advised everyone to stay calm, saying they had to go slowly to rescue Ye Xuan Min.
After much discussion, they decided to have Qin Mo Qing reveal his identity first, then look for a chance to rescue the captives, while Ou Xiao An would continue undercover. Li Shao Tang secretly told Wen Yi Shan that the inspections had found a communist mole in the operations division, and he suspected Ou Xiao An would expose the Big Bridge in the trial.
Hearing this, Wen Yi Shan was frightened and quickly made preparations. When the trial day came, it was quite a lively scene. The judge was a foreigner, Randall, and the defense and prosecution were both from the Military Statistics Bureau. The Big Bridge was brought in, pretending to just be a regular soldier - the Military Statistics Bureau had already given him a new identity, with fake records.
The prosecutor looked at the materials but couldn't find any problems. The defense wanted to have Ou Xiao An testify, but the person who came out was someone else. Wen Yi Shan didn't believe Ou Xiao An would be honest, so he had a stand-in. That's when the coroner arrived, saying they would display enlarged photos of the Big Bridge's execution.
When the photos were shown, they revealed all the Big Bridge's misdeeds, shocking everyone in the courtroom. In the commotion, Qin Mo Qing was able to rescue Ye Xuan Min and Li Man Qiu. Li Shao Tang tried to call the prison, but the line had been cut. Wei Qing Ming arrived, eager to watch the excitement.
Wen Yi Shan was furious, taking it out on Ou Xiao An. Ou Xiao An deliberately said Qin Mo Qing was a communist and had released the photos. Wen Yi Shan interrogated Ou Xiao An angrily. Ou Xiao An then said he had been tricked by Qin Mo Qing, and also told Li Shao Tang about the 9548 incident.
Qin Mo Qing used Shen Cong Wu as a hostage, trying to cover Ye Xuan Min's escape. Shen Cong Wu was terrified, telling Ou Xiao An's group not to pursue them, but Qin Mo Qing didn't believe him. The two sides were at an impasse. Seeing this, Ou Xiao An simply said he would trade himself for Shen Cong Wu, to have Qin Mo Qing release him.
In the end, Judge Randall ruled that the Big Bridge be sentenced to hanging. Wen Yi Shan was furious, taking it out on Ou Xiao An. Wei Qing Ming told Ou Xiao An to go catch Qin Mo Qing, but they had already disappeared. Ou Xiao An's group gave chase, leading to another chaotic battle. This whole affair had gotten bigger and bigger.
