Bean Counter Fai has no brotherhood or scruples.
So the brothers want me to compete with him for the post of leader.
It's said that twenty-some years ago, Poon Mo was killed by his enemy.
If your dad was really Yee Fung's leader, you could help me then.
This is unbelievable.
The owner of the stone lion didn't come to extend the loan period at last.
There's a demon here. A demonic beast.
We found vegetable oil on the purse. Oxidation causes spontaneous combustion.
You look puzzled. Never mind. Let me explain in detail.
Vegetable oil contains unsaturated fatty acid.
Their molecular structure contains...
...one or several covalent bands like oleic acid molecule...
Wait. Yik Sir, I was an art student before.
Art student? Never mind. I'll show you.
First I let the vegetable oil seep into the purse. Then I allow it to dry.
What? It will take so long.
Yes. Owing to time constraint, I've prepared a dry purse.
It feels velvety. But it isn't that wet. And then?
Then I leave it here for spontaneous combustion.
How long will it take?
At least three hours.
It's burning.
Douse it now.
Okay.
How come it burned suddenly?
I told you. It's due to the covalent bond.
I told you. I was an art student.
Okay. Covalent bond oxidizes easily in normal temperature. It releases heat.
This oxidation polymerization process keeps going on.
Heat's being discharged without dissipation.
When it reaches a certain combustion point, it will burn spontaneously.
In Taiwan, there's the case of a cleaning cloth...
...burning and exploding spontaneously.
There's vegetable oil on the brocade purse. Obviously someone tried to set you up.
Did the pawnshop offend someone?
It burned suddenly.
There's the strange noise of lion roars in the past couple of days.
The Lord Kwan statue exploded.
A swindler came and said it's due to the stone lion in the pawnshop.
Really?
You defeated Lord Kwan?
You even asked the god of fire to come for a barbeque? Awesome.
You said someone caused the fire?
Science can explain what's done by man.
But it doesn't exclude the possibility that it's caused by the stone lion.
Let me study it a bit.
No, you're so full of crap.
I need to lock it up in the cabin reserved for Professor Fu.
Hey, what are you doing? Assaulting a police officer?
Not solved yet.
It's you again? We're closed.
I warned you guys before.
There are too many women here. The stone lion will cause trouble.
Something bad has really happened.
Why do you insist on getting the stone lion?
Who else will go to hell if I don't? Give it to me now. It isn't too late.
I'm a cop.
I'll get out of your hair.
What's the matter?
I was trying to tell him that I'm a cop. I will protect you guys.
He didn't respond. He simply left. He's so rude.
It's because you're a cop and he's a swindler.
MiMi, have you found out yet who pawned the gold peach?
Gold peach?
Check on the computer.
Gold peach. Let me see.
Here. We have the name, phone number, and I.D. card.
But the phone number doesn't exist. Can't find the guy Cheung Shu-ye.
I'll call the station to check the I.D.
Okay. Thank you.
Fake I.D. The name Cheung Shu-ye must be fake, too.
Fake I.D. card. This guy's up to something bad for sure.
It's hard to check further without the real identity of the guy.
Cheung Shu-ye. I feel that he's pawned more than one item. Let me check.
White jade tiger.
Here. He pawned a white jade tiger before.
The anonymous dab hand in electronics stays in a place like this?
Yes. Right here.
Anonymous?
Yes.
LaLa.
Better call me Dr. Poon.
You're Brother Liu? How do you do? My name's Yik.
Don't worry, LaLa. I used to fix your old gramophone and watch before.
I would like to do it for you, Lala.
I want you to look at this.
It's so much like the lion roar I heard recently?
It's the principle of resonance.
When the frequency of sound matches that of an object...
...there will be resonance.
When the resonance reaches a certain level, the object will explode.
The roar of this white jade tiger serves two purposes.
First, it breaks the Lord Kwan statue.
Second, he wants to make us believe...
...all the happenings are caused by the stone lion.
The lion roar and the stone marble serve the same purpose, too.
That Brother Kwan wants you guys to think...
...the stone lion is spooky so that you will sell it. He's really suspicious.
He isn't the only suspicious person.
Not everyone can put the marble in the inner office of the shop...
...unless he's a family member.
That leaves only the rag and bone guy, Brother Wah...
...that buys the forfeited goods from us.
He wants to buy the stone lion, too.
That's simple. We pretend to sell the stone lion...
...to that guy Brother Kwan or the rag and bone guy.
After they've purchased it, we follow them. We can find the mastermind behind all this.
But the stone lion doesn't belong to the pawnshop.
We need to ask someone for permission.
Lion roaring at night...
Lord Kwan statue broken in pieces... mysterious fire.
When did your shop become so spooky?
Does someone want to get the stone lion so much that he caused all this trouble?
You taught us in class.
We must find the source of all mysterious happenings.
The culprit is the stone lion. When was it pawned?
Twenty-four years ago. Extended till recently.
Who pawned it?
I've checked the record. A man called Chung Yat-fat.
Chung Yat-fat? Owner of the sweet soup shop?
Where Yik Sir often goes to? Could it be someone with an identical name?
Once the owner died, no one came to extend the loan period.
Could there be such a coincidence?
How did he die?
Strangled. His hands cutoff.
Why would a normal person die this way?
He was a gangster before.
He was even a personal assistant to the gang leader.
Twenty-four years ago? Could it be...?
Could it be what?
What does the stone lion look like?
This is the male.
Usually stone lions are in pairs. There should be a lioness, I guess.
What are these two rectangles?
They are... rectangles.
Rectangles?
The elders said before there's a mark on this token.
We can tell it's our property once we see it.
No wonder he said we could tell it's the gang's property once we see it.
What are you talking about?
These two aren't rectangles.
If my conjecture's correct, they are the character "mouth".
Chung Yat-fat pawned the stone lion. He's a member of the Ka Wo gang.
His nickname was Mediator Fat.
You said just now the stone lions should be in a pair.
If my conjecture's correct...
...at the base of the other stone lion, we can find...
..."Lik" and "Wo".
"Lik" "Wo"?
Ka Wo's token for the Big Boss has been lost for 24 years.
The stone lion has been pawned for 24 years.
The token was lost when Mountain Tiger died.
Mediator Fat was Mountain Tiger's assistant.
You mean the stone lion is Ka Wo's Big Boss token?
It isn't a Big Boss token only, but also the token for command.
Whoever in possession of it may become the gang leader.
No wonder they're causing so much trouble to make us sell it.
I want to see this treasure, too.
Mom.
Yes?
Go to the market now. I'll mind the shop.
Okay. I'll prepare dinner.
Mom, Sis Lai said Fu Chi-pok will come tonight to get back the stone lion.
I'll go get it for them. Hey, where's my bunch of keys?
Here. I took it by mistake today.
It isn't good giving it to him this way. Better put it in a box.
Mom, I've left the charger in the room. I'll go home with you later.
Okay.
Let's go.
Mom, look at him. He's lying there. He won't help in the shop.
Shush. That is my body only.
The other me is now in a parallel universe sucking in the air of nature.
I'm getting prepared for the show tonight.
Look at the mess you've made. Put it somewhere.
Professor Fu's son will come later for it.
What's in it? It's so heavy.
Put it in a nice place.
What is it? Let me see.
Don't mess with it. It's the stone lion.
If it feels your spiritual air, it will kill you.
What weird things haven't I seen before?
Why would I fear a stone lion? You're such a scaredy-cat.
I'm home.
You're home?
Sis Fortune, sorry for the trouble. Where's the stone lion?
Here.
Okay.
He's here for it. Come on.
Namaste. It's here.
Sis, where have you been?
Wow, it's so much lighter?
Why are you giving me a top?
So funny? How come there's a top inside?
Cut it out. Where's the stone lion? Give it back to me.
I didn't open the box. You guys saw him open it. Don't blame me.
But it was in your possession all along.
When you gave it to me just now, mom, it was much heavier.
How come it's so much lighter now? And there's a top in it?
What's your view on the disappearance of the stone lion? It sneaked away on its own?
Are you kidding me?
I think it's done by the person behind Brother Kwan and the rag and bone guy.
I haven't figured out yet how it was stolen.
If Ka Wo's people knew Mediator Fat...
...had kept the Big Boss token in the pawnshop...
...so that they sent someone here to steal it, that's possible.
But suddenly I don't think so.
What's your new idea?
We've neglected something. Mediator Fat's dead. His hand was cut-off.
The stone lion isn't only Ka Wo's Big Boss token.
It's also related to the leader Mountain Tiger's death back then.
The deceased in the stone lion murder 24 years ago?
How would the people from Ka We believe he's killed by a stone lion?
They thought the killer was Yee Fung's leader...
...who had grudges with Mountain Tiger. That's Daredevil Poon Mo.
The dad.
Exactly. The dad got his hand cut off. Then his body was thrown into the sea.
Everyone knows the dad took the Big Boss token.
No one knew where the token was after he had died.
Who would expect Mediator Fat had kept it in the pawnshop?
Besides, Mediator Fat was Mountain Tiger's personal assistant back then.
Did he kill Mountain Tiger?
That's why the dad died for something he didn't do.
Now Mediator Fat's dead. His hands cut off.
It's exactly like what happened to the dad. Don't you find the pattern too familiar?
You think the dad's ghost came to seek revenge?
How surprising is that? He's framed for murder.
I would take a life for a life and a hand for a hand, too...
...if I was in his position.
I would take the stone lion, too, as they already accused me of stealing it.
We've cracked so many cases before. None of them was done by ghosts.
Cut the nonsense.
Let's presume it isn't done by ghosts.
Our experience in the banyan spirit incident last time suggests...
...the killer might want to take revenge for the dad.
Perhaps it's done by his orphans. Those three siblings.
Are you crazy?
Okay. The dad wasn't really the dad.
The three siblings wouldn't be so dumb to kill for a man they met only once.
Good you know that.
You may forget about taking revenge.
But the dad has been wrongly accused for so many years.
Shouldn't his daughter clear his name?
Master Yuen.
You have so much free time? You bring your girlfriend here to see me?
She isn't my girlfriend. She's Daredevil's daughter.
I know you have nothing to say to her about your gang.
She's here to talk about Mountain Tiger's case.
He's been dead for so long. What is there to talk about?
What do you mean nothing to talk about?
We found out that Daredevil didn't kill Mountain Tiger.
He never got hold of the Big Boss token. Mediator Fat kept it.
One has the character "mouth". The other has the characters "lik" and "wo".
Put together, they form the words Ka Wo. Obviously, it's a mark.
We have a photo of the male lion. But we have no idea where the lioness is.
The color on it isn't the stone's natural color.
It should be Mountain Tiger's blood.
I guess the killer struggled with Mountain Tiger back then.
He picked up the stone lion and used it to kill Mountain Tiger.
He didn't know what to do afterwards. He saw two stone lions behind him.
So he recalled the stone lion folklore back then.
He made it look like the big stone lion had killed Mountain Tiger.
I see. Daredevil died so long ago.
We can't help him though we know the truth now.
So we hope you would clarify this with the elders and clear Daredevil's name...
...so that he didn't die for nothing.
Right. Okay. I'll hold a meeting with the elders tomorrow. I will tell them this.
Anyway, you've told me our token is actually a pair of stone lions.
I shouldn't turn down your request.
The male lion Mediator Fat pawned back then is only half of the token.
We really don't know where the lioness is.
The person who keeps scaring us wants us to sell the stone lion all along.
He must know its value.
I guess it's very likely he's in possession of the other one.
I guess it's someone close to Mediator Fat. But why did he kill Mountain Tiger?
I remember it now.
Back then Mountain Tiger's woman had an affair with one of his underlings.
Seducing a brother's wife?
So Mediator Fat was the male protagonist? Who's the female protagonist then?
Anyone there?
Big brother, this looks like it.
Right. It's here.
Open up. Master Yuen has told us everything.
Fat had an affair with you. He's kept the token for over twenty years.
He's a brother. I'm here to help you. Give me the token. I'll mitigate for you.
You will be fine.
You can't get away.
Big brother, the girl is leaning against the door.
Break in.
Copy that.
She's dead.
Her hands cut off like Mediator Fat.
What shall we do now, big brother?
Call triple nine.
What?
What? If someone saw us come in, they would say we killed the girl.
We'll be doomed.
Call the police.
Triple nine.
Hey, who are you?
Sorry, guys. I'm Laud Daily's reporter Fu Chi-pok.
I can be an eye witness to testify that the girl was dead well before you came in.
I only want an exclusive.
Laud Daily.
I'm helping you here, not the other way round.
Do you understand that? I know where to find you.
Write a nice report.
Copy that.
Found it.
Found the male lion?
Let's go.
Yat Fat Sweet Soup.
When Kei Ching-ching's body was found, she'd been dead for a day already.
The body sat with its back to the door. All the windows have bars.
That means it's a locked room.
The stone lion was found in that woman's home.
There are so many men's things. Is there really an affair between them?
Green tea white dumplings.
Nice.
This is on the house.
I hope Yik Sir will soon catch the man who killed my boss and Miss Kei.
Sit down. How do you know I'm a cop? You even know what I'm working on.
You often come here. You talk loudly, too. Everyone knows that.
Shall we go to some other places?
No need to do so. My lips are sealed.
This time my boss and Miss Kei are killed. So I can't hold myself back.
Your lips are sealed?
Your boss is dead. Why is the shop still open?
My boss was a gangster in the past. His leg got broken.
His brother gave him money to set up this shop so that he could make a living.
Therefore, there's another owner called Master Fai.
Mediator Fat was your boss. How about Kei Ching-ching?
She was his good friend.
He often told us to deliver food to her place. He took good care of her.
Your boss was so nice to that woman. What's their relation?
I don't' know. I'm only an employee. I didn't probe into his personal affairs.
Hey, have a seat.
His lips are sealed? Anyway, it's good to have a witness.
Mediator Fat seduced Mountain Tiger's woman and killed him.
Daredevil took the fall.
Then he and Kei Ching-ching hid the two stone lions for years.
Daredevil's ghost came back.
First it killed Fat. Then it killed Kei Ching-ching.
Then it cut their hands off...
...so that they became a pair of lovers with severed hands.
When did you copy me? You no longer deny the existence of ghosts.
Can you get back to the subject?
Get back to the subject, right?
If Daredevil is back for revenge, he will kill another person, too.
Who?
Ka Wo's top enforcer who executed the order to kill back then.
This guy threw Daredevil's body into the sea. He's Fit Yuen, Tai Ma-yuen.
Yuen Kee Auto Services Co. Ltd.
Oh, why don't you take a deep breath and calm down?
What's the matter?
The guy inside killed your father.
He acted on order only. He didn't have a choice.
Still his hands are soaked with the dad's blood.
I'm fine. You know how close I am to the dad.
I'm here in my capacity of a concerned citizen...
...to warn an old man that he might be in danger.
I see.
Let's go.
Master Yuen, we're here.
Why are you two here?
We called but couldn't reach you.
I fell asleep. You got leads for the Big Boss token?
Master Yuen, did you kill my father Daredevil?
She isn't here to hold you liable. She wants to warn you only.
Both Mediator Fat and Kai Ching-ching had their hands cut off when they died.
We suspect someone is taking revenge for Daredevil.
Who did that?
This case is a bit spooky.
We don't know if it's done by a man or a ghost.
What?
It's Okay. The fuses often blow.
So spooky?
It's Daredevil. He's here to take revenge against me.
Daredevil, it wasn't my idea. I acted on orders only.
Don't cut off my hand. Forgive me please. I'll burn more paper money for you.
I was really innocent. I only acted on orders.
Did I see it correctly just now?
You did. There's really a man in the mirror.
But he was gone once I turned my head.
Then he's there when you looked again.
He even held out a hand.
This is the first time I've had such a close encounter with a ghost.
Do you think it's real?
I don't care if it's real or not. A folklorist won't discuss that.
Then tell me your opinion on the supernatural experience just now.
Supernatural stories are records of people's fear.
People put the blame on ghosts. There must be a reason behind it.
Both you and I ran into a ghost. What are we trying to pin on it?
Hallucination. It must be our hallucination.
This happens when you're unwell or under tremendous pressure.
Now you stress that you don't believe in ghosts.
But folkloristics doesn't deny the existence of god or ghosts.
It doesn't. It's subjective.
As a folklorist, I will rationally study the ghost stories and people's mindset.
Let me analyze this incident...
...from my angle as a student in folklore studies.
Just now Master Yuen was so scared.
I believe he did something very cruel to the dad back then.
Master Yuen's well-known in the gang for being relentless.
The dad must have died terribly.
Given the situation just now, I think the dad came back for Master Yuen's life.
But he saw his daughter there. He didn't want to kill in her presence.
So he spared Master Yuen.
Are you analyzing the mindset of man or ghost?
Ghosts were once men.
I'm not denying the existence of ghosts.
First I must presume the supernatural incident just now is fabricated.
You said it often happened in movies. People cut-off a hand to fake death.
I get it. You wish the dad is still alive.
This isn't about my dad. That's how I handle problems all along.
We start with whether Poon Mo died.
You've found Poon Mo's death report?
It happened over 20 years ago. There's only a severed left palm left.
But I still managed to find it.
Otherwise why would we ask for your help, Yik Sir?
Thank you.
Be serious.
According to the forensic pathologists report back then...
...the DNA found on the severed palm matched Poon Mo's perfectly.
In other words, the severed hand belonged to him.
Could it be possible that...
...Poon Mo cut his hand off to fake death like how people do in movies?
That's impossible.
The forensic pathologist will also look at the vital reaction at the wound...
...to decide if the person was dead or alive when the hand was severed.
How about in Poon Mo's case?
The surface of the wound will appear pink when it's caused alive.
The peripheral skin will shrink.
But the surface of a posthumous wound will appear yellow like the skin color.
The peripheral skin won't shrink.
Poon Mo's case is the latter.
Posthumous wound. The hand was cut off after death.
If so, what we saw the other night could very well be his ghost.
You two are so lucky. You really saw a ghost.
I want to see one, too.
You want to see ghosts. But they don't want to see you.
Dr. Poon has a particularly close relation with it.
That's why it showed itself in our presence.
Namaste. What are you doing there?
Remember this top?
I really forgot it. It's so old. I was ten and you were eight back then.
The dad suddenly showed up. He taught us how to play this.
Then he vanished into thin air. That's the only time I ever met him.
Hey, dinner's ready. What are you playing?
It looks so much like the top that came from the stone lion?
It was in our home all along. Just didn't know where it was kept.
Hey, where did you find it?
MiMi, the dad left it for us.
Really?
You've never met him. Do you want to meet him?
He died long ago.
You two met him before. So you called him "the dad".
I really haven't met him at all.
I almost thought mom borrowed the sperm from someone to give birth to me.
I really have no recollection of him.
Borrowed the sperm? Hey, you know how to play it well.
Amazing.
This is called the top effect.
What's that?
You art students won't understand it.
For the sake of maintaining its rotation axis's direction...
...a spinning top will generate resistance against gravity, okay?
Of course, I know that. Gravity, right? I'll show you.
Grab it tight.
Hey. Amazing.
I know how the stone lion disappeared.
Hey.
Why did you ask me to come so urgently?
I know how the stone lion turned into a top.
Feel the weight.
It's so much lighter when the top stops spinning?
For the sake of maintaining its rotation axis's direction...
...a spinning top will generate resistance against gravity.
The weight of the top hasn't changed.
But the resistance force gives you a false impression that it's heavier.
We thought the stone lion had turned into a top...
...all because Dali found it so heavy when Sis Fortune gave him the box.
So he thought the stone lion was in it.
But when it was given to you, we thought the stone lion had been swapped...
...when you opened the box and saw the top inside.
In fact, there was only the top in the box right from the beginning.
That means only Sis Fortune could pull this off?
MiMi said when she got home after school that day...
...she immediately told Sis Fortune that you'd come later to get the stone lion.
MiMi had kept the keys all along.
That means the stone lion had been locked in the cabinet all day...
...since Yik Sir and I had looked at it.
If MiMi didn't say she would go home, too...
...Sis Fortune didn't have to swap the stone lion with the top.
For Sis Fortune to do that, she must get it done within the time...
...when she turned her back to MiMi while opening the cabinet.
Can you remove the boxes?
Why?
I'll do it myself.
Hey. I'll do it. These boxes?
Yes. If my conjecture is correct, the stone lion is in the drawer down there.
It's so dusty. Apparently no one touched the boxes in a long time.
I believe no one opened this drawer for a long time.
Even so, the stone lion could still be put in there.
It's my conjecture only. I could be wrong.
But if the stone lion is really found in the drawer...
...your conjecture is correct then.
You'd better open it.
Why? Why didn't Sis Fortune want to give you back the stone lion?
She knows what it stands for?
She knows the dad died for something he didn't do?
Why are you thinking this way?
Perhaps your mom wants to...
...find the murder weapon to prove your dad's innocence.
You often said before that even if it wasn't a ghost...
...it could still be the deceased person's family members...
...like what happened in the banyan spirit incident last time.
Is Sis Fortune trying to avenge the dad?
I was only kidding to scare you. Don't take it seriously.
No, she could be so silly that...
...she wouldn't mind giving birth to kids for that man...
...even though they weren't married.
Perhaps she's so silly that...
...she killed Mediator Fat and Kei Ching-thing to avenge him.
Poon Doh-lai, calm down.
Remember you said before that a person's born nature won't change?
You think your mom is so cold-blooded?
No.
She wouldn't kill one after another.
She wouldn't be so cruel to cut their hands off.
She isn't such a person.
It's right that you think this way. You need to believe in Sis Fortune.
If your mom knew her daughter thought she is a murderer...
...she would feel so sad for sure.
What shall we do now?
We must find the person who killed Mediator Fat and Kei Ching-ching.
It wouldn't be Sis Fortune for sure. Then all your doubts will be cleared, right?
Let's do it.
There are traces of struggling here where Mediator Fat was killed.
All the doors and windows aren't pried opened or damaged.
He knew the killer. He allowed him to come in?
We can't rule out the possibility that...
...the killer fooled Mediator Fat into opening the door for him.
Then he came in and killed Fat.
How about forensics? What did they say?
Cause of death was strangulation. The right palm was cut after he had died.
But Poon Mo had his left hand cutoff.
If the killer wanted to take revenge, why didn't he cut off the left hand?
Master Yuen said Bean Counter Fai was money-oriented.
Not really. His brother was in trouble. He gave him money to set-up a shop.
He has brotherhood.
Wow.
What's the matter?
There's a gecko.
You sacred it so that its tail came off.
Calm down. You've scared it away.
You've scared it so much that more of its tail has come off.
Pal, how are you? Does it hurt?
You've knocked over all the things.
It came off again and again?
You still feel scared? Help me pick up the things.
You're quite a normal person.
You keep staring at the slippers. What's there to see?
My conjecture really is correct.
What conjecture?
I knew someone took the fall. But I'm not sure who pinned it on him.
We must solve the locked-room mystery.
I see. You're holding back deliberately.
The body leaned against the door.
The killer couldn't come in unless he did so through the window.
But all the window bars were locked. How did he come in?
I know how the locked-room was formed.
How?
It won't help finding out how it's done. We can't be sure who did it.
Okay. Holding back deliberately again.
Oh, no. The flowers aren't watered for a long time.
What does that matter to you? Let's go.
It does matter to me.
Ever heard about Backster effect?
Cleve Backster used a polygraph...
...and found out by chance that plants have feelings, too.
Their perceptive capability is even much stronger than that of human beings.
The hydrangeas are so dry. I'm sure they sense that their owner is dead.
They feel so sad. Okay. I'll help you.
He's crazy. He's more New Age than your older brother.
We saw clearly what's outside when we were in the house just now.
Now we can't see clearly from the outside what's in the house.
It's because the light outside is stronger than that inside.
That's how the light gets reflected and we can't see the inside clearly.
Conversely, when the light inside the house is stronger than that outside at night...
...we can't see clearly from the inside what is outside then.
Everyone knows that.
Hey, you're spraying water on me.
Don't worry. You won't fall sick because of that.
Sis Fortune, something's on your rear.
Really?
This one is blue.
You look so melancholy despite the watering.
Be happy again soon. You think you're Tony Leung?
Thank you for telling me.
Show me the footage again.
You found something?
If someone sees us come in, they would say we killed the girl.
We'll be doomed.
Found it.
Found the male lion?
The killer has done so many things to distract us and blur our vision.
But now I can see the origin clearly.
You're here? Come in.
How come you aren't scared at all?
You were so scared earlier as you thought Poon Mo had come back for revenge.
Or you think there's no cause for fear because you didn't see a ghost that night?
What are you talking about? I don't understand it at all.
Master Yuen, you still pretend to be dumb? I'll explain it clearly then.
There is some light where we stood just now.
The image was projected on this glass door and reflected to the glass on the cabinet.
But when you shine a flashlight on the glass door...
...the stronger light from it will suppress the light outside.
So you can't see us.
The fuse here often blows. So you're used to this phenomenon.
Most importantly, you don't think you will run into a ghost at all.
It's because Poon Mo isn't dead.
Back then you received the order to kill. But you didn't kill him.
Don't talk nonsense. The cops found the severed hand.
Even the forensic pathologist confirmed that he's dead.
Ouch. Pull your own hair.
The hair pulled carries a follicle.
It shows it's pulled directly from a person's head.
But you can remove the follicle from the same strand of hair.
Forensics could find out if a severed hand's cut off from a living person.
But if the hand was cut off from a living person long ago...
...and the parts for biological response are removed some time later...
it will look like the severed hand was cut from a dead person.
Back then the gang told you to kill Poon Mo. But you didn't.
You used his severed palm to fool everyone.
Am I correct, Master Yuen?
He took care of me when I went to jail back then.
He had helped me before.
Besides, I didn't believe he had killed Mountain Tiger.
So I worked out this trick to spare his life.
Tell you what.
I've asked to meet him here today. You will see him later.
What? He's coming here?
Sis Fortune?
Mom? What else are you keeping from us? Has dad come back?
Don't ask me that now.
Master Yuen, Mo and I ran into Bean Counter Fai and his people outside.
He was taken by them.
Sze Shing Hall.
Today a leader will be elected for Ka Wo.
Bean Counter Fai, Fit Yuen, have you found the Big Boss token yet?
Here.
On your double.
I've got one, too.
Ka Wo.
The two stone lions come together again at last.
I thought it is one male and one female. So both are male?
We are a gang of men. Why would we use a lioness for a token?
Now both of them have it. Who will be the leader then?
He isn't entitled to become the leader.
Are you high?
Are you sick?
Shut-up.
Be quiet.
Shut-up. Bring him here.
Sze Shing Hall.
That's Daredevil?
He is still alive?
Fit Yuen, what's your explanation?
I don't think he can explain this. Why don't I explain it for him?
He didn't kill Daredevil. He even set him free.
Then he staged his death to fool all of us.
There are rules for our gang. What shall we do to him?
I can explain this.
I've also invited two of my friends here to testify for me.
This is Professor Poon Doh-lai of...
...Hong Kong International University's Department of Folklore.
Standing next to her is her student Fu Chi-pok.
You recruited students, too? No wonder you have so many lackeys.
Bean Counter Fai, I have many friends and brothers.
I have few enemies.
Unlike you, I can balance the interest of different gangs. You can't.
It's because you have no brotherhood or scruples.
So the brothers want me to run for the post of leader.
What a waste you don't shoot for education TV with those lines.
Professor Poon, you may begin.
Traditionally stone lions are used to safeguard the country and homes.
There are rules as to how they are placed. Male on the left and female on the right.
They are in pairs. It fits the requirement of harmony between the yin and the yang.
Gentlemen, I believe you saw this photo in the last meeting back then.
The one with the two characters "mouth" carved at the bottom is the male lion.
The other one with the words "lik" and "wo" carved at its bottom wasn't seen before.
But you would think intuitively that it's a female.
But if someone thinks it's a male lion, too, it's very likely he had seen it before.
That person is here. He's Man Yau-fai.
It's him.
You asked these two extras to make a recital here.
Are we supposed to believe what they say?
Listen carefully. My brothers and I found the stone lion in Kei Ching-ching's home.
We even reported it to the police. There's concrete evidence.
Yes, we are the witnesses.
We don't need to argue. Why don't we take a look at the footage?
Found it.
Found the male lion?
You hear that? There's no need to argue, right?
Before the cloths was lifted...
...you already said the male lion was found. Right?
You saw long ago the stone lions with the words Ka Wo carved on them.
You pretended to find the dead body and the stone lion...
...to cover up the fact that you were actually in possession of the stone lion.
You killed Kei Ching-ching.
