00:
20:31,769 -- 00:20:34,230

The detective may be a bit eccentric

239

00:
20:34,439 -- 00:20:36,022

but he doesn`t accept bribes

240

00:
20:36,150 -- 00:20:37,816

so he must be a good man

241

00:
20:38,443 -- 00:20:41,571

We should offer him a meal on the house

242

00:
20:42,448 -- 00:20:44,741

Men are just sacks of stinking fluids

243

00:
20:44,908 -- 00:20:45,992

with no redeeming qualities

244

00:
20:46,411 -- 00:20:47,744

A good man?

245

00:
20:48,246 -- 00:20:51,456

Good or bad, it`s determined by our physiology

246

00:
20:52,584 -- 00:20:54,542

The Ren-ying meridian controls hunger

247

00:
20:54,836 -- 00:20:57,129

His Ren-ying appears to be overdeveloped

248

00:
20:57,672 -- 00:20:59,923

The short man was a born glutton

249

00:
21:00,050 -- 00:21:00,799

Give me four pints...

250

00:
21:00,968 -- 00:21:03,719

Wait... Give me eight

251

00:
21:03,763 -- 00:21:06,972

Wine impaired his Qi,

a contributing factor to his cardiac arrest

252

00:
21:07,558 -- 00:21:10,477

He died because his Ren-ying

meridian betrayed him

253

00:
21:17,903 -- 00:21:18,944

As for me

254

00:
21:19,113 -- 00:21:21,071

my weakness is my Shanzhong meridian

255

00:
21:21,698 -- 00:21:24,366

It controls emotions and gives us empathy

256

00:
21:24,702 -- 00:21:26,786

My Shanzhong meridian is overdeveloped

257

00:
21:27,120 -- 00:21:31,166

It makes me too empathetic;

it almost cost me my life once

258

00:
21:33,170 -- 00:21:34,837

I caught a young man

259

00:
21:35,422 -- 00:21:37,006

who stole from his adoptive parents

260

00:
21:37,299 -- 00:21:38,465

But I send him home

261

00:
21:39,509 -- 00:21:42,218

I put humanity above the law

262

00:
21:42,930 -- 00:21:45,306

I never imagined that he would poison our food

263

00:
21:46,975 -- 00:21:48,975

Both his parents died

264

00:
21:49,728 -- 00:21:52,021

I sustained internal injuries

265

00:
22:00,074 -- 00:22:01,364

That`s why I use two needles:

266

00:
22:01,950 -- 00:22:03,867

one in the Shanzhong,

267

00:
22:04,285 -- 00:22:06,119

to suppress my empathy;

268

00:
22:06,664 -- 00:22:08,330

the other in the Tientu,

269

00:
22:08,623 -- 00:22:10,416

to control the poison

270

00:
22:13,838 -- 00:22:15,213

I treat my body

271

00:
22:15,715 -- 00:22:17,507

and my personality flaws at the same time

272

00:
22:21,513 -- 00:22:22,638

Since then

273

00:
22:23,098 -- 00:22:25,265

``he`` follows me around

274

00:
22:25,559 -- 00:22:26,433

He says:

275

00:
22:26,810 -- 00:22:28,185

you can`t trust humanity

276

00:
22:28,812 -- 00:22:32,689

Only physiology and the law don`t lie

277

00:
22:54,590 -- 00:22:55,631

It`s you

278

00:
22:57,426 -- 00:22:58,718

There`s no door

279

00:
22:59,804 -- 00:23:01,638

No need for doors here

280

00:
23:04,392 -- 00:23:05,433

Looking for Jinxi?

281

00:
23:05,560 -- 00:23:06,644

He`s not home

282

00:
23:07,521 -- 00:23:08,311

No

283

00:
23:09,314 -- 00:23:10,522

I`ve come to see you

284

00:
23:12,985 -- 00:23:15,193

I`ll make you congee for your cough

285

00:
23:15,946 -- 00:23:16,946

Please don`t bother

286

00:
23:17,114 -- 00:23:17,988

It`s no trouble at all

287

00:
23:18,824 -- 00:23:19,907

No trouble at all

288

00:
23:20,242 -- 00:23:22,744

Last night, the tavern keeper told me that

289

00:
23:23,579 -- 00:23:26,998

Jinxi only joined the clan a few years ago

290

00:
23:27,958 -- 00:23:28,917

His last name

291

00:
23:29,294 -- 00:23:30,419

wasn`t Liu originally?

292

00:
23:35,551 -- 00:23:37,467

It was five years ago

293

00:
23:37,804 -- 00:23:38,678

At that time...

294

00:
23:39,137 -- 00:23:40,512

I was pregnant with Xiaotian

295

00:
23:41,348 -- 00:23:44,558

I asked for his name to be added

in the clan records

296

00:
23:49,566 -- 00:23:50,566

That`s all

297

00:
23:54,612 -- 00:23:55,571

Well then...

298

00:
23:56,281 -- 00:23:57,406

how did you two meet?

299

00:
24:10,297 -- 00:24:13,466

It was a long time ago. I can barely remember

300

00:
24:13,550 -- 00:24:16,051

On that day he was just passing through

301

00:
24:19,181 -- 00:24:21,432

He told me he had a fight with his family

302

00:
24:22,309 -- 00:24:24,017

And he`d run away

303

00:
24:25,646 -- 00:24:28,022

He never talks about his family

304

00:
24:29,359 -- 00:24:31,234

Unresolved conflicts?

305

00:
24:31,361 -- 00:24:33,094

They can be resolved

306

00:
24:34,458 -- 00:24:36,478

Did Jinxi know your former husband?

307

00:
24:38,339 -- 00:24:39,494

No

308

00:
24:41,394 -- 00:24:42,301

Did I...

309

00:
24:42,674 -- 00:24:43,995

say something wrong?

310

00:
24:52,873 -- 00:24:54,153

That man abandoned us

311

00:
24:55,186 -- 00:24:56,383

just like that

312

00:
24:57,705 -- 00:24:59,851

He said, ``I`ll see you tonight``

313

00:
25:00,472 -- 00:25:01,461

It turned out...

314

00:
25:01,834 -- 00:25:04,475

he`d been planning to leave

315

00:
25:05,178 -- 00:25:08,521

He even took his favorite pillow with him

316

00:
25:08,853 -- 00:25:10,544

He abandoned his wife and child

317

00:
25:12,528 -- 00:25:13,849

Jinxi doesn`t need to know...

318

00:
25:15,790 -- 00:25:17,317

such a man

319

00:
25:20,002 -- 00:25:20,786

Sometimes

320

00:
25:21,199 -- 00:25:22,354

Jinxi says to me

321

00:
25:22,645 -- 00:25:24,089

I`ll see you tonight

322

00:
25:24,957 -- 00:25:27,598

I tell him not to use those words

323

00:
25:30,118 -- 00:25:31,398

Not to say them...

324

00:
25:33,876 -- 00:25:36,847

On the subject of his family,

I`m afraid if I asked

325

00:
25:36,931 -- 00:25:39,655

he might just disappear too

326

00:
26:09,263 -- 00:26:12,813

First interrogation of the suspect;

July, 12th fortnight

327

00:
26:17,893 -- 00:26:20,162

Describe your fight with Yan Dongsheng

328

00:
26:26,233 -- 00:26:28,173

I think...

329

00:
26:29,825 -- 00:26:31,187

it was like this...

330

00:
26:33,006 -- 00:26:34,490

I grabbed him like this

331

00:
26:35,359 -- 00:26:36,555

Continue

332

00:
26:38,167 -- 00:26:39,610

I held onto him

333

00:
26:41,222 -- 00:26:42,501

I refused to let go

334

00:
26:42,626 -- 00:26:43,905

then he spun me around

335

00:
27:11,572 -- 00:27:13,056

You used leverage

336

00:
27:13,513 -- 00:27:15,575

against Yan`s brutal force

337

00:
27:16,114 -- 00:27:19,373

No wonder Yan couldn`t shake you

338

00:
27:26,436 -- 00:27:29,367

How did Yan lose his ear?

339

00:
27:29,657 -- 00:27:30,771

It was chaos

340

00:
27:30,938 -- 00:27:31,886

I think...

341

00:
27:32,671 -- 00:27:34,321

the short man came at me...

342

00:
27:34,447 -- 00:27:36,468

... from behind with a sword

343

00:
27:36,718 -- 00:27:37,750

I ducked of course

344

00:
27:37,875 -- 00:27:39,070

then I heard a scream

345

00:
27:39,938 -- 00:27:41,259

I didn`t know what was happening

346

00:
27:42,458 -- 00:27:43,242

Are you saying...

347

00:
27:43,697 -- 00:27:45,347

that they wounded each other?

348

00:
27:45,678 -- 00:27:46,668

Yes!

349

00:
27:46,834 -- 00:27:48,484

They cut one another

350

00:
27:48,817 -- 00:27:49,723
