Episode 18 recap: The Arrest of the Villains including Sun Yunxiao
In Episode 18, Sun Yunxiao looked at the line of police cars in front of him and suddenly realized that he had been outsmarted by Inspector Chen. Soon after, Lawyer Zhang approached Zhu Jie, bluntly demanding money, a staggering 50 million yuan. Hearing this, Zhu Jie frowned and told Lawyer Zhang not to make such an outrageous request.
Lawyer Zhang was not intimidated and said that he was now in hiding for his life, so money was no object. He then showed a photo of Liu's precious son Liu Guo standing in front of a luxurious villa, hinting that Zhu Jie's investment was far more than just a few 50 million yuan, including overseas properties. This made Zhu Jie nervous, and he pressed Lawyer Zhang to reveal more.
Lawyer Zhang sneered and said that these were all Zhu Jie's own "cultivations" over the years, and he had many secrets. He even prepared an email that would be automatically sent to Lei Xu if not canceled within 12 hours. Meanwhile, facing interrogation by Captain Ru, Sun Yunxiao stubbornly refused to speak without a lawyer, still hoping that Zhu Jie would save him as he had done before.
Liu Liu, seeing Du Ziyu's injury, was relieved when Zhang Li arrived in time. Zhang Li jokingly said they were now "sworn brothers." She also revealed that Sun Yunxiao's arrest was due to Inspector Chen's contribution.
Lei Xu analyzed that the mastermind behind Sun Yunxiao was most likely Zhu Jie, warning that the true puppet master had not yet emerged. As for Lawyer Zhang, everyone was concerned that he had fallen into Zhu Jie's hands.
True to Sun Yunxiao's expectations, Zhu Jie sent a lawyer to visit him and also brought his sister Sun Yundi to put pressure on him. Although Sun Yunxiao understood this, he remained defiant on the surface, refusing to say anything. However, as soon as the 24-hour period was up, he was brought back for interrogation on a new charge of intentional homicide.
This time, Captain Ru mentioned Ding Yongang's name, and Sun Yunxiao's face immediately turned pale. He recalled how they had killed Ding Yongang and staged it as a suicide to cover up their crimes. Under Captain Ru's questioning, Sun Yunxiao finally admitted that it was Zong Youliang who ordered the murder because Ding Yongang's phone had evidence of his and Zhu Jie's bribery. As for Lawyer Zhang's death, he insisted it was Zhu Jie's doing, and he pleaded for the protection of his sister's safety.
Sun Yunxiao also revealed that the rape charge against Shen Yuaner was actually a cover-up arranged by Zhu Jie, but he did not know the mastermind behind it. Subsequently, Captain Ru successfully rescued the exploited Sun Yundi and arrested the fleeing Zhu Jie at the docks. Zhu Jie finally admitted that the root cause of everything was the case of Shen Yuaner's violation by Liu Guo, and he had set up the trap step by step for revenge and personal gain.
Lei Xu and Du Ziyu worked hard to find witnesses, eventually clearing Jiang Xiaojie's case. In court, Sun Yunxiao and Zhu Jie were sentenced to death, Liu Liming to life imprisonment, and Inspector Chen also received due punishment. The prosecutors of Division 9 were commended for their achievements, and Ding Yongang's injustice was finally cleared. Although Lei Xu was transferred back to the city, his colleagues in Division 9 were reluctant to see him go.
Half a year passed, and Du Ziyu, Zhang Li, and Liu Liu had made remarkable achievements in the field of pre-trial investigation. On an occasion when they reported to Director Lei, Lei Xu specifically took Du Ziyu out for hotpot and gave his pickup truck to Ding Shuai, symbolizing the passing of the torch and hope.
After the turbulence, everyone continued to forge ahead in their respective positions, safeguarding justice and fairness.
