"Divine Constabulary"

How're you? Welcome!

Life Snatcher, where are you going?

Over there.

Life Snatcher! Dingdong! Come on in!

Guts! You're all here.

So you're all here.

Iron Hands! Iron Hands! Iron Hands came too!

If we can find proof that An Shigeng

is behind this operation,

we'll have this Case solved.

And once we solve this case,

Department Six won't be able

to say we're criminals.

Han Long seemed like

there was magic protecting him that day.

It was like we couldn't hurt him.

And then suddenly

he just disintegrated into this powder.

The Han Long you saw might

have been an avatar soldier.

t's a kind of necromancy from the west.

You use potion and a needle...

...to control the dead.

If you sprinkle soulreaper orchid seeds

on your opponent,

the scent will make the avatar soldier attack

until your opponent is dead.

The scent?

It's a shame Brother Leng isn't here,

with his sense of smell.

If we can't find the scent,

et's look for the needle.

Usually, these needles are inserted in a skull.

Han Long turned to dust

because you knocked the needle loose.

Iron Hands, is soulreaper orchid easy to find?

It's very rare.

It's more valuable than gold.

An Shigeng would be able to get it,

no question.

We need to find proof that

he has soulreaper orchids.

You go. I want to wait here for a minute.

He's not coming back.

Let's go. I'll push you.

Avalanche, if you have anything to say,

we can talk outside.

I found a secret Department Six evidence report

in the counterfeit workshop.

Evidence report? It wasn't mine.

All our evidence reports have individual seals.

They're unique. Don't lie to me.

And you're just as bad!

You poisoned Lord Xu

and made it look like suicide.

Since we did, why don't you arrest us?

Kill the Sheriff King, and put me in his place.

Tell An Shigeng that for the right price,

I'm willing to cooperate.

I know about everything you

and An Shigeng are planning.

If you don't kill him soon,

our jobs are going to get a lot harder...

You'll need me.

I don't need you!

I never imagined Avalanche was such a beast.

Did he hurt you?

No, but he scared Firefly

so much she cried all night.

Brother Leng,

the Sheriff King is looking for you.

Come back with me, alright?

I want to come back with results.

And actually, I already have a clue.

I know who the man in the workshop was.

It was...An Shigeng?

You suspect him too.

Have you told the Sheriff King?

I don't have any proof, so I havent,

But I want the truth behind all this.

I won't let Butterfly'S death mean nothing.

Aunt Poise, what else can I do?

have to know.

Real love doesn't need you to do anything.

If you need to use tricks to make it happen,

it's not real love.

So I'm just supposed to wait?

Some men are worth waiting for.

What if I can't wait?

If you can't wait,

that's nothing to be sad about.

That means you're lucky.

It sounds complicated.

Yeah, it's com plicated.

There's a big shipment of herbs

at An Shigengs dock.

We should Search it!

Be careful, don't bump their boat!

Move it along! Quicak!

That's An Shigengs dock...

What are you two doing?

Department Six on official duty,

out of the way.

What are you doing here?

Were looking for a flower.

I smelled it in the counterfeiting workshop.

So Department Six is trying

to steal our case again?

Knock it off! Brother Leng is trying

to solve the case for you.

Were looking for a type of herb too,

called soulreaper orchid.

We think it was used to control Han Long.

Then let's Search the place!

Save your effort.

It's in here.

You don't mean

you want to empty that Coffin out, right?

What did you think it was?! It's a Corpse!

Help me.

The stench of a corpse could cover that smell!

So soulreaper orchids grow on corpses.

We should tell Department Six about this.

We can solve this case ourselves.

Master, if we don't move soon,

it'll be too late.

What is our opponent planning?

How strong are his forces?

You don't know any of that!

Will we be able to take them on by ourselves?

The Divine Constabulary is under investigation.

If you tell Department Six,

they still won't touch An Shigeng.

I can accept that we don't act,

but if you take this to Department Six,

you're signing your own death warrant.

The Sheriff King won't give you a chance.

His target isn't An Shigeng, it's you.

This time, I believe him.

Yayu, let's go see the prince.

The rest of you, stay put.

Thank you.

Why are you bringing the dead back to life?

The Divine Constabulary already has proof

they know you're the one behind everything.

Fine, I'll kill the Sheriff King soon!

Let the girls leave Department Six.

I don't want to see them die!

You blame me?

No more, and no less,

life is death,

and death...is...

ife!

She's beautiful. Just like she was.

Just a little slimier. Lets go!

Butterfly ......

So you like that Leng kid?

She likes that Leng kid.

Give this to the Sheriff King,

and tell him I'm the murderer.

Wake up.

You could spend the rest of your life trying,

but you'll never guess what I'm up to.

We found it!

That shipment was delivered to

An Shigeng's mansion!

I don't like waiting.

We can handle them.

Let's go!

Brother Leng is a good man.

I know.

Is there anything you don't know?

If this is really

the end of the Divine Constabulary,

what should we do?

Even if there's no Divine Constabulary,

we can still be good people

who fight for justice.

But the Sheriff King is after you.

You're not afraid of what he'll do to you?

He's not a bad man,

he's just a pathetic man who's afraid

of what he can't control.

Lord Zhuge...

I need to see the prince.

Your pathetic man is here.

Lord Li...

So youre the, uh...mind-reader?

What am I thinking right now?

Lord Liu, what, exactly, are you afraid of?

Lord Liu, lead the way.

By all means.

I'll push you.

No thanks.

Nobody's here! They all left,

but where did they go?

Soulreaper orchid?

There's some over here!

Iron Hands, I found someone!

I have discovered tha tAn Shigeng

is using soulreaper orchids

to practice a magic

from the west to wake the dead.

I believe he seeks the crown.

I request that Department Six be allowed

to arrest him.

You both know he's a close associate

of Minister Cai.

Everything Lord Liu has told you is correct.

We await your decision.

We should report to the king first.

Lord Liu, maintain surveillance on An Shigeng.

Yes, sir!

Are you looking for me?

Sheriff King, My Lord, I'm up here.

And you,

you're still disrespecting the elderly,

and you came uninvited again.

Well, at this party, I dont mind extra guests.

Enjoy your meal!

Protect the prince!

He's alive again!

Yayu, go get reinforcements!

Ji Yaohua, you go too!

Prince, let's go!

Who goes there?

This is royal property, go away!

Go find Emotionlessl

Bufferfly?

H ey. Let's go!

Be careful!

This guy with the braided beard, I had no idea!

Be careful!

Take care of her!

Let's go!

Hurry! Quick!

Go! Surround him!
