The First Shot Episode 14 Recap
> The First Shot Recap
Er Jin was arrested and brought to justice, but he remained uncooperative, refusing to confess the details of his crimes. Zheng Bei and Gu Yiran were at a loss. The special task force couldn't understand why Er Jin was so loyal. Zheng Bei stated that winning people's hearts was Qin Yi's skill, otherwise, he wouldn't have become their boss. As long as they found the soft spot and weaknesses of the criminals, they would eventually get them to talk.
Everyone found several boxes of gold bars at Qin Yi's residence, which was enough to show how much money Qin Yi had made from drug trafficking over the years. Gao Linsheng came to the special task force to announce that the police had set up traffic defenses throughout the city, believing that Qin Yi would definitely not be able to leave the city.
At least, looking at it positively, all the ecstasy chains of Blue Aurora were uprooted, and even Snow Angel was completely confiscated. He told everyone to rest well first and then brace themselves for a tough battle. Because Zhang Xueyao was injured during the arrest of Er Jin, she was afraid that her parents would worry, so she asked Zheng Bei to go to her house to inform them, falsely claiming that she was on a business trip.
Gu Yiran was puzzled as to why Zheng Bei didn't just make a phone call but had to go to the Zhang family in person, so he followed Zheng Bei with canned fruit and came to a lively small town. Outside the dilapidated old public housing, Zhang Xueyao's parents were setting up a stall selling popcorn, candied haws, and other snacks. Whenever someone came to buy, they would use sign language to communicate.
Gu Yiran suddenly realized that Zhang Xueyao's parents were both hearing impaired. At this moment, two hoodlums suddenly appeared, taking food without paying. Just as Zheng Bei was about to step forward to stop them, the surrounding vendors came forward to help and successfully drove the hoodlums away. Afterward, Zheng Bei and Gu Yiran were eating on the street.
Zheng Bei revealed to Gu Yiran that when everyone didn't understand Zhang Xueyao, they thought this girl was particularly reckless, but later they realized that she was doing it to protect the people around her. Zheng Bei was curious about whether Gu Yiran had anyone to protect, but Gu Yiran remained silent. That night, Zheng Bei took Gu Yiran to taste northeastern night market snacks.
While playing shooting balloons, Zheng Bei bluntly said that he was reluctant for Gu Yiran to return to Huazhou, and Gu Yiran smiled. Soon Zhang Xueyao returned from the hospital, and her injured leg was fine. Everyone suggested celebrating for Zhang Xueyao, but Zheng Bei was very silent. Zheng Bei's parents cooked dumplings and poured wine, but Gu Yiran noticed that Zheng Bei went out in the rain.
He followed him to the auditorium to watch a primary school performance and learned about Zheng Bei's unknown childhood past from Xin Tiegang's narration. Years ago, Zheng Bei was abducted by human traffickers and met Lele, a boy of the same age and small stature.
Compared to Lele's cleverness, sweet talk, and ability to speak, Zheng Bei's personality was very stubborn, and he refused to cooperate with the human traffickers to beg for money, so he was often beaten by the human traffickers, who even wanted to cut off his tongue and make him disabled. At a critical moment, Lele knocked the human trafficker unconscious with a stick. Seeing this, Zheng Bei grabbed Lele and ran out, urging the other children to leave quickly.
The two children walked in the snow for several days, completely frozen and exhausted. Lele was small and not as strong as Zheng Bei, relying entirely on Zheng Bei's encouragement to support him forward, and in the end, he was dragged along. However, when Zheng Bei took Lele to the village, he still saw the human traffickers chasing after them.
In a moment of desperation, he hid Lele in a trash can, while he diverted the human traffickers, and happened to meet Xin Tiegang. Although Xin Tiegang saved Zheng Bei, Zheng Bei was unconscious for two days before waking up. When he revealed that there was another child, the police couldn't find Lele in the trash can, but instead dug up the body of a 12-year-old child from the human traffickers.
Since then, Zheng Bei has always felt that he killed Lele. If he hadn't let Lele hide in the trash can that day, this wouldn't have happened. Every year on this day, Zheng Bei would bring two bottles of mixed soda, recalling how Lele used to beg the human traffickers for soda for him, but the Lele in his mind constantly questioned why he abandoned him, causing Zheng Bei great pain.
In his memory, the night was a winter blizzard, but in reality, it was a summer night of freezing rain. Gu Yiran took Zheng Bei home, saying that he didn't do anything wrong and didn't need to carry the past pain on his shoulders, as life was still very long. On the other side, Zhao Xiaoguang took Zheng Nan to buy videotapes and unexpectedly encountered a crackdown on prostitution. The special task force's investigation fell into a stalemate. Zheng Bei and Gu Yiran thought that Jiang Xiaohai was Qin Yi's godson, so perhaps they could start with him to find Qin Yi's whereabouts.
