as Life Snatcher.

Undertook debt collection at age 8,

has never failed to collect a debt.

First love at age 10,

admired by women from ages 3-83...

to varying degrees.

Known to be witty,

hard-working, entrepreneurial...

Actually l...l regret leaving home too early.

I didn't understand that home was a good place.

Now you. Where are you from?

I don't know. I was raised by wolves.

You wanted to help, right?

Sit down and try it.

No. Don't use your hands.

Use your mind.

Focus your attention,

and it moves in the direction you want.

Try it.

What in the hell are you thinking about?

Your new wheelchair.

She likes you.

It works. I'm going to take a shower.

I don't have anything to say to you.

I know, what I think...

you already know.

I'm not...I dorl't Want to hurt anyone.

I just want to solve this case

and get back to Department Six.

I know all that.

Then...

ok.

Get some rest.

Fake money is everywhere,

and the banks Won't exchange it anymore!

Things are getting worse, what do we do?

It's fake, the Copper content is too low.

Master, Master!

The banks won't even accept our money now!

What should we do?

Yeah, what are we supposed to do?

Calm down, calm down...

Exchange their coins for real ones.

Follow me.

Thank you, Master!

This isn't good!

You know it's fake, why are you exchanging it?

Look, this is just temporary.

With this much fake currency,

there must be a conspiracy behind it.

If we can't stop the circulation

of this fake currency,

we're looking at riots and rebellion.

The people hurt the most by this...

are commoners like them.

We need to find the source of these coins.

The copper content in these coins is low,

so they break easily.

You lied! I can't break mine!

If you don't have the strength to break it,

the most important things

to look at are the weight

color, and texture...

Go to the market and investigate.

Follow anyone suspicious.

We need to find the source!

We found our source.

They're all here.

Keep watching them.

IV:

r. Goldblind...

How much did you pass out today?

We unloaded 3,000 strings.

That's the big fish.

He's a criminal,

called Goldblind, a metalsmith.

He's been in prison for counterfeiting.

He works for An Shigeng.

Don't stare at him.

If you stare at him,

he'll know you're watching.

These Department Six people!

He's checking to see if he's being followed.

t's a common trick.

Hey!

How did you know?

He smells like charcoal.

Having you along is like

bringing a hunting dog. Nice!

IV:

r. Goldblind...

How's work coming?

The fake coins come from

a workshop beside the river.

Ji Yaohua and Goldblind met today.

Brother Leng...

you were watching him the whole time?

Right. I didn't see Ji Yaohua.

I noticed by coincidence,

in the alley behind Flower Street

She met him there.

Department Six might be watching Goldblind too.

Ji Yaohua was probably working

on the case as well.

They planned this meeting.

I really didn't see her.

You didn't see me eit

Did anyone else see Ji Yaohua?

It's a shame Skywings is dead.

I think she killed him.

You think. You didn't see her do it?

None of you believe me.

Keep watching him. I think...

there's more behind this case,

and we have to figure out

Ji Yaohuas involvement.

Zhuge Zhengwo wants us to keep watching him.

Anything else?

Oh, right. Emotionless suspects

Goldblind and Ji Yaohua are connected.

Really? Jealousy...

Women...

Take Ji Yaohua and Butterfly to Search

the counterfeit workshop.

The rest of you women

go with Avalanche

and search Treasury Minister Xus house.

Yes, sir!

I hope they didn't escape.

The forge is still smoking,

they didn't leave long ago.

I'd say someone warned them we were Coming.

Goldblind?

Attack!

Han Long?!

Master...

The Sheriff King is getting suspicious,

and you'll have to invent a story.

It'll take a miracle to...

...fool him at this point.

If you can't, your outlook gets very ominous.

Whether we can finish the story is up to you.

But I'm sure you can do it.

Run!

Let's go!

Go save them!

You're okay?

Butterfly! Butterfly!

Everybody out! Bring medicine!

Master, here.

Dingdong, I need a bandage!

Shes bleeding too fast, we can't stop it!

Yayu, stop her bleeding! Quick!

Who did this?

Han Long.

I thought he was dead.

I don't get it, either.

t's like he went crazy.

And then his body suddenly turned to dust.

How is that possible?

That's what happened.

There's more, Butterfly is dead.

Master, bad news!

Department Six is here.

Ready bows!

Run!

Stop!

Yayu, don't do anything rash.

Lord Liu...

The Divine Constabulary

is harboring dangerous criminals,

murdered Department Six Constables,

and kidnapped one of my men!

Lord Liu, this is a misunderstanding!

Were treating Miss Ji inside.

Thank you.

Quick!

Hey! Our people were injured!

Whos responsible for that?!

You attacked our people, damaged our property

and we don't even get an apology?

I thought being a constable meant

I got to be a tyrant,

not that I had to put up

with treatment like this.

You told Department Six

we were going to their workshop!

Are you working for them or us?

Our enemy isn't Department Six,

and Brother Leng works for us.

But he hasn't really decided yet.

Have you?

t's pointless waiting! He won't be back.

His name means "cold",

we should Call him Coldblood.

He'll be back. Even if it's not for me.

Look! Six Fan Gate is here!

They're closing the Divine Constabulary?

It must be something big!

Stop! None can enter with permission!

Brother Leng, you... Where did you go?

We were afraid

we wou

dn't have time to say goodbye!

Master! Master! Brother Leng is back!

You're back?

Huh...

'm sorry,

we cou

dnt hold things together here.

Minister Cai had the king

order an investigation into

the Divine Constabulary.

My status as an official is suspended,

and I'm waiting to see

how the king deals with me.

I thought you took orders directly

from the king.

It's enough of a favor that

I haven't been put in jail

while the investigation goes on.

Then Department Six

takes over the investigation?

Don't worry.

Don't worry?! How are we supposed to not worry?

You taught me to be patient,

not to answer violence with violence.

And we did, we stuck to the rules,

and in the end

we still get punished for it!

You can't use a gent

emans methods...

...to deal with a villain!

But if we use their methods,

we become villains ourselves.

You go ahead and be a gentleman.

Iron Hands! Iron Hands!

I'm sorry.

No apologies, you didn't do anything wrong.

Go back to Department Six

and be a good constable.

I know you'll do well.

Hey! Your boss is right.

Think of this like a vacation!

Come to the Drunken Moon, drinks are on me, ok?

I can't drink your wine without paying anymore.

Come on, who's Coming? Drinks are on me.

Me! Teach me about the underworld!

What? Hey!

Wait!

Wait!

You interested?

Yes!

Emotionless, I'll push you.

Alright, let's go!
