Cambrian Period Episode 8 Recap
> Cambrian Period Recap
After visiting Jin Lin's home, Li Yongji grew suspicious of the Female military adviser from Hanqing Group. He immediately ordered his subordinates to compile all her information, including her arrival date in South Island and the vehicles she used, and place it on his desk. Tang Yin then asked Li Yongji to accompany her to a large hospital for a check-up. Jian Zi chased after them, immersed in the joy of becoming a father.
He believed the baby would be a girl and that she would resemble Tang Yin. As Tang Yin sat alone in the hospital, contemplating whether to keep the child, Jian Zi, sensing her hesitation, urged her not to do anything foolish, reminding her that "the child is innocent." After deep consideration, Tang Yin decided, "I have decided. I want to give birth to the baby."
Overjoyed, Jian Zi hugged her, promising to protect her and the child and ensure they were well-fed. Tang Yin, however, teased him, stating that while she decided to keep the child, she never said he was the father. Despite Tang Yin's mental preparation for motherhood, the doctor delivered shocking news: Tang Yin was still a virgin and could not be pregnant. Her symptoms were merely food poisoning.
The doctor, in an exasperated tone, questioned how she could be pregnant if she was a virgin and asked if she was "making fun" of them. Jian Zi, who was eagerly asking about the baby's health and age, was crushed by this revelation, asking the doctor to re-check the results. Tang Yin, now frustrated, confronted Jian Zi, exclaiming that he owed her a child.
She had finally decided to embrace motherhood, only to be told it was a false alarm and nothing had actually happened between them. She even questioned his masculinity, asking, "You didn't do anything all night? Is it a man?" Jian Zi, visibly disappointed, tried to explain that he did want to, and despite nothing happening, he would still take responsibility for her.
Tang Yin, however, declared that they no longer owed each other anything, and he didn't need to be nice to her anymore. With a renewed spark of hope, Jian Zi readily agreed to her suggestion to return home together. After Tang Yin's previous visit, Jin Lin noticed something unusual about Li Yongji and began a private investigation into the external police officer.
Through a phone call, she requested information on police officers in the South Island force who might be compromised by money, expressing her disdain for those driven solely by greed, even to the point of betraying their own family. She believed that with enough money, some individuals could be swayed to their side. Additionally, despite having received a counterfeit chip maker from Suo Tou, she remained uneasy about their transaction and secretly sought other assistance.
She had a tense conversation with Suo Tou, where he questioned her urgency and assured her he would get what she wanted. Jin Lin accused him of recklessness and lack of trust, fearing for her mother and daughter's lives. Suo Tou then conceded, saying he wanted to "make up" and would "listen to her," to which Jin Lin firmly responded, "Listen to me," indicating her intent to take control.
Officer Cai Jiayi arrived at the witness protection facility looking for Jian Zi. Finding only Mai Quancheng, she grew furious, demanding to know where Jian Zi was. Mai Quancheng, trying to be secretive, spun a tale about Jian Zi seeing his "good figure" and feeling inferior, then going to his bistro to work out, suggesting Jian Zi intentionally left to create a "two-person world" for him and Officer Cai. Officer Cai dismissed his nonsensical remarks.
She then went to Tang Yin's room, yelling for Jian Zi to come out. Tang Yin tried to cover, claiming they were "talking business," but admitted Jian Zi was missing and hadn't told her anything. Li Yongji then informed Officer Cai that Jian Zi had voluntarily signed out of the witness protection program the previous night.
He then suggested to Officer Cai that taking Tang Yin back to the crime scene might reveal new clues, which Tang Yin readily agreed to, stating she was happy to finally be useful. To quickly bring peace back to Tang Yin, Jian Zi began a secret investigation into the truth of the whole incident. He arranged for Mai Quancheng to distract Officer Cai, who was still trying to track Jian Zi down.
During a phone call, Mai Quancheng complained that he was "killed" by Jian Zi and left homeless by his girlfriend, but Jian Zi urged him to ask his girlfriend for the location of the GS2 section's monitoring data center. Mai Quancheng later called back, confidently claiming he had found the best method, and Jian Zi confirmed the location before hanging up.
Disguising himself as Facebook, Jian Zi secretly infiltrated the video surveillance center, aiming to uncover the real situation on the night Shen Keke's incident occurred. While there, he spotted Li Yongji and thought, "Why does Li Yongji appear here? His identity is not that simple. I am worried about Tang Yin. Forget it. Let's go back."
To expedite the case, Li Yongji took Tang Yin back to the crime scene where Facebook had kidnapped her, hoping she could recall more details. Li Yongji acknowledged that "crime scenes may evoke painful memories," but Tang Yin asserted, "As long as the bad guys can be brought to justice, I am not afraid of anything."
Li Yongji used techniques to jog her memory, emphasizing that "sound, smell, rhythm, light is the fulcrum of memory" to help her "return to the original memory." He asked what Facebook said or did to her. Tang Yin recalled Facebook asking about "what your friend Shen Keke left" and that he had "hung her up."
She also proposed the possibility of multiple Facebooks, to which Li Yongji responded that police research suggested more than one Facebook, but regardless, they were "the biggest pests on the island." Tang Yin initially struggled to recall more, mentioning she fainted and only woke up when she saw the police. However, upon seeing blood on the ground, she remembered that "before I fainted, there is no blood on the ground."
Li Yongji then confirmed that DNA results from the blood were back, and it was indeed Suo Tou's, just as he suspected. He instructed his subordinates to be vigilant and strengthen prevention, but he did not share this information with Tang Yin. Tang Yin, feeling disappointed in her memory, suggested they visit Shen Keke's house again, hoping to remember what Shen Keke gave her. At that moment, Li Yongji received an urgent alert about someone breaking into a secret room.
He told Tang Yin he had "some urgent matters" and would have a subordinate drive her to her hotel. Tang Yin opted to return to her pub first to retrieve some items. Li Yongji then swiftly returned to the police station, leaving Tang Yin. Officer Cai Jiayi, suspecting a mole within the police department, instructed her team that their next actions should not be officially recorded.
Based on intelligence that Facebook activities were detected in a specific room on the 4th floor, she led a team to surround the area. Li Yongji arrived at the secret room alone. After privately observing to confirm no one else was present, he deleted files from the recording equipment. Jian Zi, hidden in the shadows, witnessed everything, confirming his suspicion that Li Yongji was not as straightforward and righteous as he appeared.
As Li Yongji breathed a sigh of relief after deleting the files, Cai Jiayi arrived at the scene. She found a satellite positioning system. Li Yongji tried to stop her, but it was too late. As Cai Jiayi curiously picked up the earphones next to the positioning system, she commented that such "old equipment should have been eliminated long ago" and questioned "why does Facebook use such devices."
She also noted that all content on the device had been expertly deleted, leaving no fingerprints or clues. She decided to bring the device back to the major crime unit, emphasizing that this discovery should be kept secret between them. A voice from the earphones then stated, "Dear public servant, I have been looking for you for a long time. As a gift, please accept the evidence of the Car Door Group." It then provided an IP address: "21. 223. 11. 16." Meanwhile, Li Yongji covertly raised his gun, pointing it at Cai Jiayi.
