A third case of a bottle of sulfuric acid...

...being dropped from

heights took place in...

...Mongkok's pedestrian zone last week.

Over 100 injuries were caused so far.

The serious nature of the offence...

...has prompted the police

to offer a reward of...

...$900K for anyone with any information...

...on such cases.

- Please dial direct... 27711777

- May I help you, miss?

Three cups of lychee juice with honey...

More lychee, less bees.

No. I mean less honey. Also get me

a yogurt, chocalate and apple...

...Mango, blueberries and watermelon

sorbet. All's mine. Thank you.

- Hello.

- Johnston?

- Where are you?

- On a case.

Can you spare a sec?

Can you talk?

- I'm on a case!

- Sorry.

Ho?

Do you copy? Ho?

Yes. Mission accomplished.

I've got everything, on my way.

Wait a sec.

Saw the blind man behind you?

Where?

At your 7 o'clock.

The one in a dark blue suit.

Yes, got him... what's up?

Follow him.

Follow him?

Officer Szeto, The sorbet will melt.

You have to drink it cold...

Follow him!

Find out what he's messing with.

Got that.

I'm off duty, hon.

I'll go buy some dishes for dinner.

Are you coming back for dinner?

You haven't come back for two days.

Return my call.

Bye.

Officer Szeto, The blind man

is following someone.

Who?

A fat guy in a white-striped shirt...

B*tch!

You think I knew nothing

between you and the driver?

You f***ed him in a truck.

You seduced him?

Go to hell! Don't ever

come back. We're finished.

What is he looking at?

Check it out!

Hon, forgive me.

You may f*** him in the truck.

Remember to roll down the window.

It's dangerous to inhale the fumes.

Hon, I'll wait for you.

Do come home. Bye.

Want a plastic bag?

Yes.

The fat guy is the suspect. Don't

lose him. We'll be right there.

Action for everyone.

Call for backup.

Yes, sir.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

Is this orange juice, gorgeous?

It's sulfuric acid.

Thank you, gorgeous.

The blind man has followed

the fat guy into Wing Mansion.

I'll keep track.

Team A, disperse the crowd.

Team B, shut down all exits.

Team C, follow me.

Evacuate! Danger!

Organised Crime Triad Bureau.

I have very reliable sources.

My name's Johnston.

ID Card no. G1962...62...

Freeze!

I'm Szeto Fatbo, Chief Inspector of OCTB.

It hurts.

Watch out for my face.

Look counts most for cute guys like me.

Got that.

A lady cop?

You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain

silent. Anything you'll say...

...may be used as statement in court.

Good martial arts... better than Susan.

Szeto Fatbo!

Officer Szeto, what accounts for

the unexpected outcome of the case?

Our team joined CIB to set up...

...surveillance in the pedestrian zone.

On this evening, we spotted a suspect.

I promptly sent a teamate to follow him.

He succeeded to find him.

As soon as he went to the roof...

...I took action.

Dispersing the crows on one hand...

...and enclosing him on the other.

We finally arrested him.

Was there any resistance...

...during the arrest?

Hello. So you're Johnston

the super detective?

My name's Ho.

Johnston.

Are you alright?

Do you realise how dangerous it

was? Lucky we arrived in time.

Tell me, who was the suspect?

Pick up the shoe for me.

Who was the suspect?

I was the suspect.

You followed me

and found that fat guy.

I cracked the case, right?

Yes... No

I cracked it.

Because I'm smart

I'm smart in knowing you're smart.

Cut that crap.

How about the reward?

You called the Bureau at 7:40 p.m.

But I issued my order at 7:30 p.m.

We took action before

you reported the case.

Also, you didn't give any details

on the phone except your name.

You f***ed up everything.

- Don't do that.

- It hurts.

Sorry.

My juniors are all looking.

I spent 9 full months in Mongkok.

It all came down to nothing.

You'll get a good citizen award.

Award your ass!

You're being paid $80K a month.

A disabled person like me,

makes a living on reward monies.

This way. Alright.

I'll treat you to dinner.

I promise it'll be a good meal.

Let's go.

It has to worth at least $100K.

$100K?

I'm earning only $80K per month.

I have to feed my family.

I don't care.

I'll eat $100K worth of it.

OK, my treat.

- Call that a celebration.

- What?

Sorry.

Coming.

How are you, John?

I'm Ho.

Thank you.

- Put it here.

- Sure.

Do you drive? Your glass, here.

Very few female cops are as good as you.

- Good physique?

- Yes.

I stationed at the airport

You run fast?

2.4km in 9' 17"

How about shooting and combat?

I'm good. I practiced

Close Quarters Battle

Why did you put down your silverware?

I'm actually a bit scared of you.

I'm no good at all in investigation.

I lacked a detective's mind.

I'm envious of my colleagues.

They'd just think for a minute...

...and crack a case instantly.

You're absolutely brilliant.

And yet you're blind.

I admire you so much.

No doubt you're my idol.

I secretly called you.

The God of detectives.

Very agile.

One more bottle.

Do you live here?

Nice environment.

It's quiet.

Over there.

First floor across the street.

Are you OK?

Sure. I'm sober.

Tell me.

Minnie is my junior.

3 years younger, she was in Grade 7.

She was living in a foster family.

She's a bit weird.

Low self-esteem, unsociable, friendless...

The boys always bullied her.

I'd always defend her.

Maybe that's why we became good friends.

She used to follow me home after school.

We played and did everything together.

Get to the point.

One day...

...she told me in tears...

...that she was afraid she'd be like...

...her grandma and mom

who killed for love.

Turned out her father

had an affair shortly after her birth.

Her mother was so angry...

...that she murdered him.

And preserved his body in salt.

She was raised by her grandma.

When she was in elementary school,

her grandma became some guy's mistress.

The guy was a creep. He refused to

divorce his wife and dumped grandma.

Infuriated, grandma murdered the guy.

She even deep-fried his body.

You were shocked by the story...

...and distanced yourself from Minnie?

It's only natural.

I avoided her.

But she came and waited for me.

Right where you're standing.

She waited for the whole night.

I was absolutely horrified.

I hid myself behind the window.

On thinking back...

...she must have been heart-broken.

But I was really scared.

I dared not come down.

I never did.

After standing there for 5 nights...

...on June 20...

...she disappeared.

She's just a little girl.

Where could she go?

She's been missing for over a decade.

The truth can be very harsh.

You sure wanna find out?

Yes. I want to look for her.

No problem.

Half a million dolllars.

- The plastic bag.

- Here you are.

Where's the toilet?

Sh*t, this place is huge.

- What are you doing?

- I wanna pee...

- I'm taking a bath!

- Where's the toilet?

- I'm taking a bath!

- Toilet! Where is it?

There's a toilet in your room.

- Tell me where it is.

- Over there.

- Which direction?

- Your 9 o'clock
