The First Shot Episode 4 Recap
> The First Shot Recap
In the early morning, Gu Yiran heard Zheng Bei muttering in his dream, repeatedly saying the words "Lele", until the first light of dawn. Gu Yiran arrived at the special task force early, meticulously tidied up the area, and prepared a large blackboard. Zhang Xueyao and others clicked their tongues repeatedly upon seeing this, not feeling too resistant towards Gu Yiran. The special task force has currently locked onto the murderer's whereabouts in Haran City.
The murderer boarded the train on the 31st and arrived in Haran on the 2nd. During this period, it is possible that the unequal distribution of spoils led to the deaths of the Song Wen and Song Wu brothers. While reviewing the glass factory employee information, Zheng Bei discovered a crucial oversight: the reporting person, Jiang Xiaohai, was not the security guard on duty that night; the real person on duty should have been Song Wu.
This alone is sufficient to show that the Song brothers specifically chose this day to conduct a secret transaction inside the empty, unoccupied Xiaobailou, thereby avoiding outside attention and suspicion. In addition, Zheng Bei's further investigation revealed that Jiang Xiaohai had a criminal record, having been imprisoned for more than five years in the south in the 1990s for seriously injuring someone in a fight. This discovery intensified his suspicion of Jiang Xiaohai.
It just so happened that Ding Guozhu collected evidence from the crime scene and deduced through footprint analysis that a fourth person was present at the scene. Based on this, the special task force re-interviewed Jiang Xiaohai, officially listing him as one of the suspects.
Facing interrogation, Jiang Xiaohai strongly defended himself, claiming that he concealed some information because he was afraid of being mistaken for the murderer, and recounted the incident in detail, claiming he originally tried to save Song Wen but was unable to prevent him from falling from the building. Zhang Xueyao and Ding Guozhu visited the area around the glass factory and successfully found an eyewitness.
The witness confirmed that on the night of the incident, he personally saw Jiang Xiaohai struggling to hold onto Song Wen, who was about to fall, for a considerable amount of time, which was consistent with Jiang Xiaohai's statement. Given that Jiang Xiaohai failed to report the case in time due to being timid, but his actions and statement both indicated that he was not the murderer, the special task force ultimately ruled out his suspicion of murder.
The special task force's only clue about the murderer currently is: this person is from Eastern Guangdong, has a distinct Eastern Guangdong accent, and is approximately 20 years old. After learning the location of the small shop, Zheng Bei immediately arranged for Ding Guozhu to check the fingerprints on the phone. After Ding Guozhu's detailed comparison, it was finally confirmed that the man who made the call was indeed the Eastern Guangdong person who committed the crime.
Subsequently, Zheng Bei deployed members of the special task force to conduct a comprehensive search around the small shop and personally took Gu Yiran to change clothes and sneak into a dance hall, so that he could better blend in and observe the environment. During the search, Zheng Bei unexpectedly learned key information through his informant, Haozi: recently, unfamiliar faces have been secretly selling "Red Dragon" (referring to a type of prohibited drug).
At this time, the Eastern Guangdong guy was hiding in the dance hall's changing room conducting a transaction, brushed past Haozi, then left in a hurry and took a taxi. The driver, Monkey Bro, drove the Eastern Guangdong guy, Ah Liang, to the Yifeng Taxi junkyard, and according to the instructions of the boss, Er Jin Ge, joined other accomplices in an attempt to kill Ah Liang. However, Ah Liang had extraordinary skills and escaped under everyone's watchful eyes.
Monkey Bro had no choice but to report the matter to Er Jin Ge. Er Jin Ge was furious upon hearing the news and strictly ordered his subordinates to eliminate Ah Liang before the police found him. That night, Ah Liang was conducting a secret transaction inside an abandoned residential building, carrying a handgun with him, and took a short break in a discarded room between transactions.
The next morning, Zheng Bei received urgent intelligence stating that suspicious outsiders were seen near the residential building, so he immediately drove there. By asking an elderly street vendor, he successfully found a hidden entrance leading into the building. After entering the building, Zheng Bei encountered two men fiercely fighting over drugs, and the scene was extremely chaotic. One of the men, seeing the situation was bad, attempted to flee desperately. Zheng Bei reacted quickly and chased after him relentlessly.
The man, in a frenzy, took a little girl hostage, making the situation even more critical. At the critical moment, Jiang Xiaohai suddenly rushed out, disregarded his personal safety, and violently crashed into the man, successfully knocking him away, and without hesitation, picked up the little girl, Maomao. Meanwhile, Zheng Bei quickly stepped forward, subdued the man who had lost the ability to resist and pinned him to the ground, successfully averting the danger.
