[Justifiable Defense] [Episode 2] Name: Duan Hongshan. Birth date. [Recording] January 29, 1978. Address: Xingfuli Complex,
Yuyan District, Wuyan City. Occupation: Prosecutor. Is this true? On the morning of the 28th, at 6:30, you drove to the Duanke Town Police
Station covered in blood. You reported that
you accidentally killed someone at the East Suburb Fishery. Is that correct? Who was the victim? What was your relationship with them? Why were you at the East Suburb Fishery,
so far from the city, on the day of the incident? Silence. Quite experienced. [The day before the incident] Things have been chaotic these
past couple of days with the move. Come, this way. The rain is quite heavy today. Yes, it is, Sir. This way, please. Shaolan, I was looking for you. Let me introduce someone. This is Zhou Zheng,
the prosecutor assistant who came from the provincial procuratorate
with Deputy Chief Prosecutor Fang Lingyuan. Hello, I’m Zhou Zheng. Shaolan, please organize the Jiang Ting case files and hand them over to Zheng. Prosecutor Gong, are those your fish? No, they’re Jiang Ting’s fish,
which she entrusted to Duan Hongshan. He moved them to my place. Where did you find the fish? On Jiang Ting’s balcony. What’s the matter? It’s nothing. Prosecutor Gong, see you. [Procuratorate Office Stationed at the Detention Center, Yuyan District People’s Procuratorate of Wuyan] Deputy Chief Prosecutor Fang
graduated from Wuyan Third High School? Yes. What is it? My daughter is applying to Wuyan Third High School, but I’m not sure if she
can meet the admission requirements. Lin. Director Duan. When you were at school, did you know Jiang Ting and Zhang Yuan? Not really. Let me introduce you. This is Prosecutor Fang Lingyuan from the city procuratorate. Why are you still investigating? I’ve already told you everything. Don’t be nervous. We’re just here
to verify some details with you. So relax. When can I go home? It seems you’re prepared for it already. Your hair is nicely combed. It must not be easy
to find a mirror and comb inside, right? It’s just my habit. You’ve been locked up for days with no records
of interaction with a lawyer. So why are you so sure you’ll be released? They told me there’s an eyewitness. The witness’s testimony
will incriminate you. That’s impossible, absolutely impossible! Jiang Ting, don’t get worked up. Deputy Chief Prosecutor Fang
is just hypothesizing. Why are you so agitated? No matter what the witness says, I’m innocent. I didn’t commit any crime. Of course, I can go home. What kind of fish do you keep? You mentioned it to Director Duan, right? You’re like that fish, you care so much about it, afraid it might drown or starve. You care so much about this fish, yet you don’t even know what kind it is? Let me tell you, it’s a blue gourami fish. Too much light
raises the water temperature, reduces oxygen levels, and can cause
stress-induced death in fish. Where do you keep it? On the balcony, in direct sunlight. Aren’t you afraid it will die? [Devote to duty, enforce the law impartially, impartial and fair] [POLICE] [Police] From how you
and Jiang Ting just interacted, you don’t seem
as unfamiliar as you claimed. Maybe that’s just your imagination. Her reaction when she saw you was quite intense. Then you should ask her about it. Director Duan, are you leaving now? See you later. See you. [Procuratorate Office Stationed at the Detention Center, Yuyan District People’s Procuratorate of Wuyan] I’ll drive, Director Duan. Alright. 14 years ago, Jiang Ting was also a witness. Did you not uncover
this information back then? I need to head to another place. Mei Zheng. How should I address you? I’m Fang Lingyuan. Hello, Prosecutor Fang. Is there anything else about Jiang Ting’s case? You know Jiang Ting. Yes, I know her. She’s my neighbor. I mean, you’ve known Jiang Ting for a long time. and that blue gourami fish
was a gift from you, wasn’t it? You know Duan Hongshan and Li Mufeng, and you’re closely connected to them. What does this have to do with the case? I don’t understand what you’re getting at. If there are more questions, please issue an official
summons from the procuratorate, instead of questioning
me here without evidence. Duan Hongshan has been reported. The allegations are unfavorable to him. Moreover, the allegations are closely related to you. It’s okay. If you have anything else to say, you know where to find me. The same as always? The same as always, thank you. After taking a hot shower, are you feeling better? Much better. After dinner, prepare your medicine yourself. Okay. What’s that? Isn’t it pretty? Yes, it’s very pretty. Where did you get it? Li Mufeng gave it to me for good luck with my interview. Li Mufeng? When did he see you? After school this afternoon. He went to your school? I just saw him this afternoon. Did something happen between you two? No, what could possibly happen between us? But Yingying, if Li Mufeng comes to see you again, tell me about it. Okay. Dinner’s ready. Let’s eat. Okay. What did you make? How does it taste? Good. Not bad? Really good. I’m going out for a while. I’ll be back soon. Where are you going? I’m going to meet a friend. I’ll be back shortly. After taking your medicine, finish your homework quickly, and be in bed by 9 p.m. sharp. Do you hear me? [Cold Medicine] Okay. Come back early. Alright. Don’t forget about tomorrow’s interview. I won’t forget,
but don’t you forget either to wear your thermal pants tomorrow. As the old saying goes,
stay warm in spring and cool in autumn, see how cold it got after the rain today? You’ve caught a cold, haven’t you? Caring about style over warmth, you’ll regret it when your legs start aching when you get old. Okay, Dad. I’ll wear them, bye-bye. Bye-bye. Good night. Alright. I’m off. See you tomorrow. Okay. It’s getting late, the person you’re waiting
for probably won’t show up. Dad, why didn’t you wake me up? Look at the time. Dad. Dad. [Justice, Diligence, Integrity] [Wuyan Municipal People’s Procuratorate] Let me, let me. Come on. Ding Yi, you’re late again. Look at the time, it’s 7:58. Still two minutes left! Don’t you see all this
stuff that needs to be sorted? And Director Duan isn’t even here yet. How is this late? Exactly. Director Duan
asked us to work with him today. Why hasn’t he arrived yet? -Go to Prosecutor Gong…
-Good morning. Shaolan, did you have breakfast? Thank you, Deputy Chief Prosecutor Fang. Here, Ding Yi. I don’t eat corn. I don’t think I need to introduce myself. Where’s Director Duan? I didn’t see him in the office. He’s never late. Director Duan is an excellent and meticulous prosecutor. Director Duan prefers to verify things at the scene himself. What is it? He’s probably gone to the site himself. I haven’t even said anything yet. Why are you all so tense? I was just asking casually. [Statement] Ms. Lei. Don’t you know how to knock? Yingying’s here. Yingying. Mom. What’s wrong? Dad is missing. What do you mean? Why are you crying? Last night after dinner, he said he needed to go out for a bit. I wanted to wait for him, but it got too late, so I went to bed. This morning, his bed was just as it was yesterday. I called him, but no one answered. He promised he’d be there for my interview this afternoon. [Duan Hongshan] [Wuyan Municipal People’s Procuratorate] Shuang. Yingying. Where’s Duan Hongshan? He hasn’t come to work. I was going to ask Yingying. He’s missing. He went out last night
and hasn’t returned since. Maybe he went out for business? Ding Yi, you’ve been with Duan Hongshan
for so many years. Has he ever disappeared without a reason? Never. He’s a workaholic and neglects his family, but he never breaks promises to Yingying. Then we… Do you know what I’m saying? There’s still no news of Duan Hongshan. His phone is unreachable. He’s gone missing. Then… Call the police, quickly! Alright, alright. [Wuyan Municipal People’s Procuratorate] You’ll scare it if you do that. Really? I just wanted to see if they were dead. Yesterday I contacted Director Duan, I wanted to meet with him. We were supposed to meet at a small bar, but I waited until dawn and he never showed up. He didn’t answer my calls either. Why did you want to see him? To ask about Jiang Ting. You wanted to ask about her past, her present, or her future? If I stop testifying, what will happen to her? Is it because she falsely accused you? Just asking. Actually, the key issue is whether you really saw everything, and if what you’re saying is the truth. What about 14 years ago? Was Jiang Ting’s testimony the truth? Seems her testimony
caused you a lot of suffering. So you went to work at the aquarium, covering your face and becoming a diver, right? I think being a fish is quite nice. Did you ever meet
Duan Hongshan while working there? Are you and Jiang Ting conspirators? Or did someone
write a script for you both? No. No what? No conspiracy or no script? No. [General Office] [Deputy Prosecutor] Deputy Chief Prosecutor Fang. What’s wrong? -Where are you going in such a hurry?
-Something happened. Director Duan is missing. Who? Duan Hongshan. We just reported it to the police. Missing? Since when? [General Office] Since 8:30 last night until now. 8:30 last night. Zheng. Go to the police station and retrieve Duan Hongshan’s movements from yesterday. You two, change your
clothes and come with me. Okay. [General Office] According to surveillance footage
provided by the police, we’ve tracked Duan Hongshan’s
movements before his disappearance. At 8:30 PM, [Recording] Duan Hongshan left his residential complex and headed northwest. Over there. From the surveillance footage, we can see that after leaving the complex, [Recording] he walked west
along the commercial street. He then passed through a tunnel, After lingering
in the tunnel briefly, he disappeared. [Recording] This is the last time Duan Hongshan
appeared on camera before vanishing. This is the location
of the last phone call made by Director Duan
before his disappearance. You two contact the police.
I’ll go in myself. Hello, what do you need? Hello. Are all of these made by you? My master and I, the two of us. They look nice. Thank you. What are you looking for? Buying here is cheaper than market price. The fish tank. This is the only one left. Is this identical to the one you sold to Jiang Ting? May I ask who you are? Prosecutor Fang Lingyuan
from the city procuratorate. Jiang Ting and I were schoolmates. I’ve seen some
of her case details on the news, but her fish tank wasn’t bought here. I would remember if she had. What about Duan Hongshan? Any contact with him? Because of a previous case, he came to see me yesterday afternoon. Mufeng. What do you think? Lower the cobalt oxide ratio a bit more. Mufeng. Are these all newly made? Yes, some of them are new. They really look quite nice. How’s business? The street was recently renovated, plus we have local support, and most importantly, that shop you picked out for me, so business is getting better and better. That’s great. Really good. There’s someone called Jiang Ting, do you remember her? From our school? I remember her, but not much. I recall that in my case, she came to testify, I think. Yes, that’s her. A few days ago, she killed her husband
who was abusing her, claiming it was justifiable defense, and the case is now in my hands. Justifiable defense. What’s the verdict? Still undecided. You’re still so meticulous. Maybe it’s like your glassmaking. Or maybe it’s because I’ve handled more and more cases, and now whenever I look at case files, those lines of text seem like threads of yarn to me, weaving together a person’s life. If you make a mistake, these threads can get tangled up, impossible to untangle for a lifetime. I also realized that prosecutors can change someone’s entire life. So I feel I have a responsibility to be careful, even more careful. Seems like he’s been
keeping an eye on you, and you’ve been watching him too, right? Someone recently reported me, claiming I mishandled cases. You think I reported you? 14 years ago, I ruled
your case as excessive defense, what do you really think about that? I only got four years. I’m grateful for that. What happened to Director Duan? He went missing yesterday. [Police] What’s going on? I don’t know. Director Duan is missing, what does that have to do with me? He came to see you
the day before he disappeared, and his last call was also to you. Just because of that? We mainly hope you’ll
cooperate with our investigation to find him. Once a criminal, always suspected, huh? Duan Hongshan showed up this morning, Let Li Mufeng go. [Yuyan Branch of Wuyan Municipal Public Security Bureau] Got everything? Yes. Assisting with investigations
is every citizen’s duty. Thank you for your cooperation. [POLICE] Let’s go, Go, hurry up. During the investigation, you will be held
at the Yuyan District Detention Center. [Verification Comments on the Above Transcript] [I’ve seen the above statements. It matches what I said] [Signed by the inquiry, Duan Hongshan] [Signed by the inquiry, Duan Hongshan] He got released so quickly. He looks scary. What did he do this time? He’s been in jail once. What bad luck.
Why hasn’t he moved away yet? No matter who we are, no matter what our profession is, in specific circumstances, anyone could make mistakes, or even commit crimes. Speak! [Recording] As legal professionals, our job is to make
more ordinary people aware of where the boundaries of the law lie. This will help maximize crime prevention. [Duan Hongshan April 29] Put your shoes on. Go inside. Turn around. Please come in. Prosecutor Gong, Director Duan’s case is currently a hot topic in the news. There are many families downstairs whose cases he worked on, and they are raising doubts about him. Every question raised by these families must be addressed one by one. As for public opinion, we’ve already assigned
people to handle it. Why did he kill someone? The police called me earlier. They said he remains silent, hasn’t said a single word. But… Didn’t he turn himself in? Didn’t he admit to the killing? But what about his motive? The victim’s identity? The circumstances of the crime? He hasn’t said a word about any of it. In situations like this, people usually make choices that are beneficial to themselves, saying things that
serve their own interests. So why hasn’t he said anything besides confessing? The police believe his profession is too special. He knows every detail of a criminal investigation process. That’s why the investigation into him is being handled with extra caution. Duan Hongshan is the Director
of the First Procuratorial Department. When this case reaches us, I’m afraid… Will you be implicated? In the eyes of the public, we prosecutors must be perfect, selfless, and calm. If we commit crimes, if we kill, what will the people think? They will become wary of us, lose trust in our entire system. So, his case, when transferred to us, will become a difficult problem. Who did it? I’ll leave Yingying in your care. She’s my daughter too. This is not the time for guilt. Time is short. Just five minutes. On the night of April 27th, you went out, were knocked unconscious, and abducted. When you woke up, you found yourself tied to a steel platform
at the East Suburb Fishery, with the sea below you, 50 meters deep. You had no way to escape. After being repeatedly
tortured by the kidnapper, in the early morning, you got a chance to escape. The kidnappers caught you. They were going to kill you. You had no choice. To survive, you had to fight back. It seems I guessed right. You have injuries. No matter what, you must say they
were caused by the other party. There was a fierce
struggle between you two, so the knife has DNA from both of you. Repeat what I’ve said to the police. When it goes to court, leave it to me. Is there anything else to add? Alright. During interrogation, say what needs to be said, keep quiet about the rest, and don’t cause me any trouble. Since leaving you, I haven’t lost a case. [Agreement on Transfer of Child Custody After Divorce] Sign it. [Agreement on Transfer of Child Custody After Divorce] Why? Once you’re acquitted, I’ll arrange for Yingying
to visit you once a month. I won’t sign it. Then let her be
the daughter of a murderer. I acted in justifiable defense.
