and has inner personalities.

Actually, you're the problem!

Bun is not the problem.

Let it go.

You are the problem.

He will get killed...

Forget it! She can't see you.

Take care.

Are you alright?

Where did you go?

I heard you walked off during operation.

I was buried alive.

I couldn't breathe.

It was unbearable.

Bun took my gun.

He refused to give it back to me.

I saw Bun's wife.

She's alive.

Bun took my gun.

Wait!

Calm down.

Why did he take your gun?

Don't know.

He also took my badge.

Bun insists Chi-wai did it.

What if he commits a crime with my gun?

I've got to report the loss.

Stop!

You're going to get promoted next month.

It'll ruin your record.

You've maintained a perfect record so far.

Don't let this...

ruin your career.

Lend me your gun.

File a missing badge report for me.

I'll go see Chi-wai.

I'm Ho from Regional Crime Unit.

I'm looking for Chi-wai.

Ho is also your name?

What's your unit's number?

Who's the man with the bandaged head?

Is he one of ours?

What gives him the right

to investigate me?

Talk. Got questions?

Wondering where I got my money from?

I won it from horse races.

Check the books if you don't believe it.

Wondering why I investigate Indians?

Wong's death isn't my case,

but I still want to solve it.

I didn't get a good look of the thief.

But I could make out his physique.

I want to see your gun.

Show me yours first!

I want to see your gun!

No! Not unless you're my boss.

You're under arrest

for the murder of Wong.

What's your proof?

What's the serial number of Chi-wai's gun?

What's the number?

Boss Yes.

Leave us alone.

This investigation is

driving everyone crazy.

Can I have a cup of water?

Yes...

I got it, thank you.

I just got a lead on the Indian thief.

Want to make the arrest together?

Bun is your partner?

Didn't he cut off his own ear?

Why ask him for help?

He used to be a great detective.

Why does he suspect me?

He said he could see

a person's inner personalities.

He said you have 7.

What about you?

What did he see in you?

A weak boy.

"Be careful of Chi-wai. He'll kill you

when he gets his gun from the Indian!"

"He'll kill you."

He did kill Wong,

and used his gun for the robberies.

Chi-wai killed his partner.

He's holding Wong's gun.

The Indian is holding Chi-wai's gun.

When Chi-wai gets his gun back,

he'll kill the Indian and you.

Put your gun down.

Put your gun down.

Chi-wai killed his partner.

He's holding Wong's gun.

His gun is with the Indian.

When Chi-wai gets his gun from the Indian,

he'll kill you...

and me.

You saw the Arms Inspection Record.

The serial number is correct.

He changed the record!

You're not a cop. Why do you have a gun?

Does it belong to Ho?

Whose gun are you holding?

He killed the man in the forest!

You killed my partner,

and used his gun for the robberies.

Your gun belongs to Wong.

He killed the man in the forest!

You're under arrest

for armed robberies

and the murder of Wong.

Drop the gun.

If you shoot, you'll be

no different from everyone else.

I'm human too.

Why should I be any different?

The case is over.

Call Gigi, then think of how

the story should be pieced together.

Gigi,

I got the gun back and I solved the case.

But I have a slight problem.

I fired your gun.

You have to be at the scene.

Come quick. The address is

Don't tell anyone.
