Dark Night and Dawn Episode 17 Recap
> Dark Night and Dawn Recap
Lin Shaobai was missing. The police were searching everywhere, and several docks were forced to shut down. Da Huzi brought Xu Wei over and asked if Lin Shaobai was his man. Xu Wei's answer was reserved. Da Huzi then asked Xu Wei if he knew "Bing Weimo". Xu Wei said he didn't know him, and pretended to angrily beat Lin Shaobai.
When Da Huzi wasn't paying attention, he threw a wire that could help Lin Shaobai unlock the handcuffs into his hand. Xu Wei knew Lin Shaobai was skilled at picking locks. Da Huzi had someone drag Xu Wei out and conveyed Dai Yueqing's instructions, telling Xu Wei to deliver a message to Bo Lao, demanding another meeting for negotiations before they could continue distributing counterfeit currency through the Hand Hook Gang's docks.
After Lin Shaobai unlocked himself, he injured someone and hid behind a car. Xu Wei pretended to leave but then returned, firing shots to provide cover for Lin Shaobai. Lin Shaobai managed to escape. He did not kill Da Huzi of the Hand Hook Gang. Lin Shaobai escaped, and Xu Wei was waiting for him by the car. They still had great chemistry. Xu Wei threw him a bottle of wound medicine and got in the car, intending to leave.
Lin Shaobai wanted to persuade him to turn back, but Xu Wei had too much blood on his hands and could no longer turn back. Since Xu Wei saved him today, it showed he hadn't changed. Lin Shaobai didn't give up, but Xu Wei instead aimed his gun at him. Although he didn't shoot Lin Shaobai, he fired a few shots at the ground near Lin Shaobai's feet, then drove away.
Lin Shaobai didn't go home, nor did he call the bureau. He found someone to help stitch his wounds himself, and then called home to say he wouldn't be back for dinner for the next couple of days. Just then, Lin's second mother was talking with Lu Zhengyang. Hearing from Lin's first mother that Lin Shaobai had called, Lu Zhengyang and Huzhi quickly rushed to find him. Lin Shaobai pretended everything was fine.
The wound on his head couldn't be hidden, but the one on his abdomen could. He acted relaxed and didn't mention the abdominal injury. Lin Shaobai took Lu Zhengyang to find Qin Ye. According to Lin Shaobai, this Qin Ye was the head of all gangs, big and small, in Shanghai, so he must have clues. Lin Shaobai said a slang phrase to Qin Ye.
Qin Ye also saw the wound on Lin Shaobai's abdomen and knew it was from the Hand Hook Gang. He had someone bring a photo, which was a picture of him with Dai Yueqing and her husband from the past. He hadn't had contact with Dai Yueqing in recent years, but he had heard that she had reorganized the Hand Hook Gang.
Ever since Jin Maochang learned that Jiang Yang had two children, he specifically arranged for someone to pick them up for tutoring lessons. It's best to express thanks in person. Jiang Yang went to meet Jin Maochang. Jin Maochang arranged for him to be his assistant, so Jiang Yang would have a legitimate identity. Jiang Yang was very grateful and immediately stated that he would definitely catch the Falcon.
Lu Zhengyang guessed that Lin Shaobai's escape was likely due to Xu Wei's rescue. Lin Shaobai didn't want to hide it and told the truth. Lu Zhengyang reminded Lin Shaobai again that Xu Wei used to follow Wang Liqun, but Wang Liqun and Yang Hui had died one after another, and Xu Wei was also involved in the trafficking and production of counterfeit money, so he must already have intricate connections with that organization.
Lin Shaobai guaranteed that he would personally capture him the next time they met. Jiang Yang noted down the stopping points of the transport team. After analysis, he concluded that the Falcon's superior contacted the transport team through deliveries, and the most frequent point of contact was Lanting Art Studio.
The police had previously monitored Lanting Art Studio, and it was not appropriate to have another murder case there now, so Jin Maochang only asked Jiang Yang to keep an eye on it for the time being.
Dai Yueqing met with Bo Lao and proposed two conditions for their continued cooperation: first, the Hand Hook Gang must be the sole channel for the counterfeit currency's distribution to the outside world; second, she wanted Xu Wei's life, to kill one to warn a hundred. To save Xu Wei's life, Bo Lao agreed to give Dai Yueqing a set of copper plates for making currency.
But afterwards, he instructed Xu Wei to bring more men tomorrow, kill Dai Yueqing, and annex the Hand Hook Gang's docks and industries. Dai Yueqing had also acquired a printing press on her side, but Da Huzi was skeptical whether Bo Lao would readily hand over the copper plates for making currency.
