Dragon
Xiaotian
Don't be afraid
It'll be over quickly
I'll pull on three
One
Where's the tooth?
Xiaotian, you tricked me!
I want to keep my tooth
Hull
You tricked me!
I'll get you
Father
What is it, son?
My tooth hurts
Your tooth hurts
Let me have a look
Which one hurts?
Open wider.
This one?
Show me
Zhigen's wife visited the paper mill yesterday
to chastise the people who didn't go
to the celebration for her newborn
I was busy with an order
so I ran
Really?
Judging from her body, she's pregnant again
She is?
Mother
When will you have another child?
Why do you ask?
He talks too much
Let's replace him
No
Yes, we will
No
Yes
No
Jinxi
Would you like some
five spice stew
That's alright
I already ate
Oh, that's right
I almost forgot, you're a vegetarian
This village has prospered
since the paper mill opened
More and more visitors come here to buy paper
Welcome, gentlemen
You sell wine?
You're lucky
We make our own wine, "Thousand Springs"
It may be rustic
But it is as good as old wine
Give me four pints
Yes sir.
Wait!
Give me eight
Eight pints of "Thousand Springs"
Are you martial artists?
On your way to the county town?
I must tell you
A few months ago
a father and daughter duo of your trade
passed through here
They sold me some "Mighty Pills"
I can attest that
they were very potent!
Sir, your wine
This wine
is also called "Fragrant Bottle"
or "Drop at the Door"
It tastes horrible
Waiter
Does this village have a general store?
Yes
It's across that way
We're here for money
Are you here to buy paper?
We're here for money
Do you have a letter of credit?
We're here
for the money
Understood?
Where's the money?
Where's the money?
You out me, idiot
Help
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father, are you alright?
Toes, no fatal wound
Chest, no fatal wound
Lower back, no fatal wound
Genitals, no fatal wound
Shoulders, no fatal wound
Fangzheng!
Watch your child ren
Knees, no fatal wound
Palms, no fatal wound
Soles, no fatal wound
These herbs will kill the smell
Ankles, no fatal wound
insteps, no fatal wound
"Robbery convict - Yan Dongsheng"
Your honor
Your honor
Xu, you seem flustered
What's the matter?
I discovered that
one of the dead men
is the top ten wanted criminal
Yan Dongsheng
Your honor must remember
Yan was the mastermind
behind countless heinous crimes
We brought him to justice
After being held for three days
he overpowered us
and escaped
You're saying that this Liu Jinxi
accidentally captured Yan Dongsheng?
Yes
Not only captured
but killed the criminal
Yes
It means the case was solved
in "My" jurisdiction
Good. Excellent!
Make arrangements for me to meet this hero
Not only meet
but also thank him on behalf of the people
and the county government
Let's go
Who is Liu Jinxi?
Here, sir. Coming
Countryman
We've solved the case
The dead man is
Yan Dongsheng
He's the notorious criminal
responsible for countless murders
Thanks to our hero
Liu Jinxi
Yan was brought to justice
This is a blessing
Jinxi wants to eat pears
To the market he hurries
here and there
Time to core and pare the pears
Quickly Jinxi, eat the pears
He fights the thief, and peels his skin
Ayu can't believe what she sees
Tonight she will reward Jinxi
Reward Jinxi
July 1917, the 11th fortnight
I was sent to Liu Village
Crime Scene:
General StorePeople involved:
a paper maker, two fugitivesHow could an unarmed paper maker
defeat a trained killer like Yan Dongsheng?
Do you know Liu Jinxi?
Everyone knows everyone in this village
Has he always lived here?
Well, no
No
He moved here when he married Ayu
he adopted the clan name, Liu
His real family name was Gong
Gong?
Fangzheng was only a few years old
When his father left
Ayu married Jinxi and gave birth to Xiaotian
I once asked Jinxi
Where are you from?
He said, Gong Village
He said he came from a family of butchers
Butchers?
Bloodshot eyes
indicate a brain hemorrhage
Yan received a heavy blow to the temple
below which the vagus
nerve serves a key function
it regulates the heartbeat
Traumatizing it can stop the heart
To damage the Vagus Nerve...
with a single blow to the temple
requires extraordinary skills
Only three fugitives killers are capable
of such a thing:
Fang Rishou
He was once a war hero
but was later discharged for violent behavior
Became a gambling addict
he squandered his fortune
He set fire to the gambling den
Dozens were killed
He vanished afterwards
Zhao Yiguang, also known as The Eye Collector
He ambushed the Tai Fen Convoy
The victims had their eyes gouged...
and tongues removed
It took them three days to die
Bu yuan
a psychopath famous for his knife skills
He slit his victims veins
and drained their blood
He even threw their heads
into boiling soup pots
One afternoon
he came to the tavern
Wine, please
Yes, sir
Sir, what are these?
What?
You don't know?
They're amulets
On the first day of spring
men wear them on the left arm
and women wear them on the right
to ward off ghosts
He claimed that
his village didn't practice the same ritual
His home village was in Lianzhou
It left a deep impression on me
Lianzhou
Lianzhou have amulets too
They do
I hope there's not a problem
Jinxi is a good man
Leave it
I don't like the smell of fish bladder
Mrs. Tung said there's a potion
I can take to prevent pregnancy
It's mercury; it's poison
It will harm your body
What if I get pregnant?
Then we'll have another baby
You
seem upset?
No, I was just thinking
about the two men that died
But they were bad men
Officials said they were going
to rob a supply convoy nearby
They were just passing through
So
Jinxi, you did good
The detective may be a bit eccentric
but he doesn't accept bribes
so he must be a good man
We should offer him a meal on the house
Men are just sacks of stinking fluids
with no redeeming qualities
A good man?
Good or bad, it's determined by our physiology
The Ren-ying meridian controls hunger
His Ren-ying appears to be overdeveloped
The short man was a born glutton
Give me four pints
Wait... Give me eight
Wine impaired his Qi,
A contributing factor to his cardiac arrest
He died because his Ren-ying
meridian betrayed him
As for me
my weakness is my Shanzhong meridian
It controls emotions and gives us empathy
My Shanzhong meridian is overdeveloped
It makes me too empathetic;
it almost cost me my life once
who stole from his adoptive parents
But I send him home
I put humanity above the law
I never imagined that he would poison our food
Both his parents died
I sustained internal injuries
That's why I use two needles
one in the Shanzhong
to suppress my empathy
the other in the Tientu
to control the poison
I treat my body
and my personality flaws at the same time
Since then
"He" follows me around
He says:
you can't trust humanity
Only physiology and the law don't lie
