Nightfall Page #3

Why are you asking me this?

Zoe seemed unaware she had an elder sister.

You talked to her?

You're a family.

I never thought you'd keep this from her.

Such a horrible death,

but you act as if she never existed.

Do I have to bring her up every day?

My husband and I were devastated by her death.

I don't get why you bring this up.

It has nothing to do with my husband's death.

Relax.

Relax, OK?

How can you be so sure it's unrelated?

When Eva died, Zoe was barely a year old.

There's no need for her

to know about such a terrible death.

Zoe was barely a year old when Eva died.

You and your husband

must have had a loving relationship

if you had another child after 18 years.

Both Eva and Zoe

were adopted by my husband and I.

I couldn't have kids.

And he loved children so much.

So both girls were adopted.

We found out that when Eva was murdered,

you spent a lot of money

on a top UK barrister to prosecute the suspect.

As a result, the suspect was denied appeal

and sentenced to life.

You know all about it. Why are you asking me?

Mrs Tsui, if you're not willing to cooperate,

how can we find the murderer of your husband?

Back then,

your husband hated the killer, right?

Yes or no?

Why do you keep bringing up the past?

It has nothing to do with his murder.

You're not the murderer. How can you tell?

There might be leads.

If he killed your daughter,

you wouldn't let him go either.

t's only natural.

But the boy kept saying he was innocent.

He killed Eva in the house.

The police caught him red-handed.

Did Eva have a boyfriend?

No.

She never went out.

Normal just like everybody else.

I really can't remember all the details.

OK.

Don't you think Zoe looks very much like Eva?

They're sisters. Of course they look alike.

Didn't you say they were adopted?

We've treated them both as our own children.

That's strange.

You took them as your own children,

but there's no memorial tablet for Eva.

Who are you trying to fool?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I can't remember.

Mrs Tsui!

Mrs Tsui.

I have a weak heart. I need to rest.

I'm sorry, Mrs Tsui. We have no more questions.

Go away. Go away.

Please take a rest.

I got this from Wang's high school.

Top grades in maths, chemistry and physics.

His teacher's comments said

he was aloof but smart and talented in music.

Look at the activities column.

In 1988,

He was the Champion in

the Asian Youth Chinese Chess Tournament.

Damn it!

I didn't even make the final round that year.

So he's a clever and meticulous person.

Think about it. He's been in jail for 20 years.

Would he have no plan at all?

Something must have gone wrong.

Too careless, too obvious.

But he doesn't seem so stupid.

Eva:
All men close to you must die.

Inspector Lam?

This is ZoeTsui.

I checked with the music store

where Wang works.

Turns out he hasn't shown up since last week.

We're on the right track.

We'd better bring him in.

Must we wait till something goes wrong?

But there's no evidence

linking Wang to Tsui's murder.

Sir.

What if we can't lay charges

after a high-profile arrest?

Step up protection of the mother and daughter.

George, you've been given five days

to dig up evidence and a motive.

After that,

I don't care if you find anything or not.

I'll need to bring Wang in.

Wang's brother?

According to Correctional Services,

Wang is staying at your house.

Where is he now?

That's not true.

He's only visited once since his release.

He asked me to lend him money.

Do you remember this classmate?

Eugene Wang.

This guy. Have a close look first.

Secondary school was so long ago.

How can I remember?

Leave me alone.

How can that be? You're so young.

It was just a few years ago.

Take a look first. it's Eugene Wang.

You're his younger brother.

Anything about him is none of my business.

I gave him $50,000 to get rid of him.

He took the cash and left.

Wang? I remember him.

The mute.

When he just arrived,

he kept saying he was innocent

and wanted to appeal.

He tried to commit suicide

by stabbing himself with a pencil.

But he failed,

and the complaints stopped.

He didn't hang out with anyone.

I didn't hear him make a noise.

He jogged and worked out every day in his cell.

He took computer lessons

and learned about the Internet.

He hardened himself up like steel.

As you know,

the inmates have no entertainment in jail.

They most like to toy with him.

Since he first joined

He was bullied every day.

He coped with the bullying at the start.

He must have mental aberration.

But finally he went crazy.

Once, he fought against four in the bathroom.

He stabbed them.

One became blind.

Two were seriously injured.

And one was nearly killed.

Since that fight, no one dared go near him.

Everyone to be distant from him

Stabbing the neck

with a pencil to commit suicide?

That'd take some determination.

Eugene Wang?

Of course I remember him.

I don't believe he killed Eva Tsui.

You know Eva Tsui?

They were really close.

I couldn't really take it.

But his old statement said

they didn't know each other.

I've got no idea what his statement says.

But my statement 20 years ago said

they were dating.

They stayed in Lantau

overnight without telling family.

How could they not be dating?

I took pictures for them too.

Uncle Lung, I'm looking into a rape

and murder from 21 years ago.

According to the file,

you were one of the officers in charge.

That's tough.

I've been retired more than seven years.

A murder that happened

in a mansion on the Peak.

Oh...The girl's father was a celebrity.

Since I emigrated, my memory has deteriorated.

The boy kept saying he was innocent.

Didn't you think something was fishy?

We caught the boy at the crime scene.

There was no doubt at all.

CCTV footage showed him

sneaking into the house.

The girl's father was an eyewitness too.

I've never seen anyone killed so brutally.

But,

some of his classmates

can prove they were lovers.

Can't a lover rape and kill?

What does this prove?

There was plenty of evidence in that case.

It was 1988. I really can't remember clearly.

It was back when Spencer was in charge.

He hated rapists the most.

You're sure it was 1988?

Uncle Lung, no smoking indoors.

You're still so stubborn and never give up.

I remember when you had just left

the Academy as a PC.

Maybe you saw him too. We showed

no mercy if a suspect wouldn't confess.

He was a tough nut to crack.

Really? it's him?

And you were stupid enough

to ask everyone what happened.

Asking why the suspect

was so heavily beaten up.

Luckily I stopped you

and asked you keep out of it.

You didn't ask - you beat me up.

You wouldn't quit without a beating, would you?

We had an eyewitness and evidence.

Spencer's judgement wouldn't be wrong.

Why would he accuse the boy for no reason?

She's a very pretty girl, Yeung.

Why did you kin her?

Yes you did.

And you did this?

F***ing look at the picture, Yeung!

Look at the photo!
