"Why?"

Xiao Pi San, it's you, you scared me

Xiao Hua Tou

You didn't show up for a while

Curved Nose, it's time for you to pay me back the debt

You've been pushing me too hard

I've rotten luck recently

It's really bad

I've lost in gambling, how could I pay you back?

That's your own business

We're just agents; They'll kill me if you don't pay

Curved Nose, they are not nice people

you can get into trouble anytime

I know that too

Xiao Pi San, since we are good friends

help me get out of this

So...

Waiter, give me another bowl

One more bowl of noodles

How about your girlfriend?

It's really bad

Freelance job only,

didn't earn much

How come you are so stupid

Can't get rich even when you're drowning in money

Since we're pals, I'll show you some ways to earn money

Big Sister is looking for women to work at her place

Ask Ah Li to go there, and you can get several thousand

Then you'll have the money to pay back

Isn't it a bit too harsh to sell her there?

Harsh?

You are so stupid

Bring Ah Li and let her have a look at her

Take the money then go

Don't you understand a simple plan like this?

The tips? - None

None? - None

No

Bg Sister, phone

Hello, speaking

We have a new one, but hasn't yet arrived

How about Ah Ying? She is good

Alright, that's her

Please help

She's doesn't look like a beginner in this trade

No, I wouldn't dare lie to you

If I have to lie, I'll lie to somebody else

Xiao Hua Tou, you'd better not lie to me

Big Sister, she really hasn't worked as such before

She hasn't been touched by any other man, except me

You can look...

Stop talking nonsense, how much?

Five thousand, to work for one year

Three thousand

Three thousand? Too little

Look at her figure

Men will love her

You'll have eight or nine clients a day

Do you think I'm happy with it?

Actually you don't have to do so hard

You'll know how it is

Alright... Never mind, let's go

Brother Ming, Big Sister is really something

Don't worry, it's going to be alrght

You must be tired of living

Big Sister, you don't have to do this

Don't move

Strip

Big Sister, stop

Big Sister, stop besting

Stop beating

Stop beating

Hold her

Stop beating

Stop beating...

Big Sister, stop beating

There's no point killing her

If she des, she can't make money for you

Big Sister, you've beaten her already

I... Can I go now?

Stop pretending

Don't come over, or I'll kill you

Bastard, you sure have guts

Stop beating, he's dead

He's dead

Big Sister, better throw it away in the dark

He's been dead for a long time

Search everywhere to see if there's any evidence

Yes

Detective, he died a cruel death

This must be done by

a professional

After the murder

he must have moved the body here

That's why there's no evidence

Wrong

There was a rainstorm last night

If it was moved here last night

the bag must be wet

But it is not

It proves that the murderer threw him here before dawn

And the murderer must have killed in a hurry

In order to do away wth the body

he just dumped it

This proves that

the murderer is not a professional

Have you found anything over there?

No

Found anything over there?

No

Detective

Yes?

Here's a diary

Hurry

Open up... hurry

Big Sister, it's the police

What are we going to do?

Open the door

Hurry and open the door

Don't move

Are you Blue Pearl?

Yes

I'm now arresting you

Big Sister was arrested two days

after the murder,

charged with murdering Chen De Ming on May 3, 1973

was found guilty and was sentenced to death

An year later, she got pardon from the Governor

and was sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment

She serves her term at the Correctional House for Women

Since Blue Pearl served her terms in prison

all the call girl centres she used to manage

were dissolved

As for the money she gained from other women

she spent all of it

on her legal fees

Easy come, easy go;

Nothing left but a sad ending!

Rearrange the tiles

For everyone

Thank you for your hard work

Open

Ah Fu, Brother Fa wants to speak with you

Go

Bastard, you owe me money

how dare you come and gamble again

Teach him a lesson

I give you a week more to return the 40 grand you owe

If you still can't pay me back by then, it's your life

Check this out

Alright

Speaking

Oh, Ah Fu, long time no see

where have you been?

Hey, any news?

Not yet. I'll call you right away

if I hear anything

Detective, I heard that Ah Fu

was beaten at Chang Le Street

by Brother Fa, the loan shark

Why did they beat hm?

Ah Fu owed them money perhaps

Oh!

Inside please...

Brother Fu, you've been here for a while

Gve me a bowl of barbecue pork rice

A bowl of barbecue pork rice

Brother Fu, you look depressed tonight

That Brother Fa...

Give me a glass

He wants the money back in a week

If not, I'll be dead

You must owe him a lot of money

Xiao Ding, we've been together since we were kids

We are good friends too

Help me pull a big job

so I can pay back the debt

Brother Fu, since you have such high regard for me

I'll do anything

you ask me to

Xiao Ding

You are really a great friend

Cheers

Hey, what are you doing here?

Hurry

Hurry, why so slow?

Let's go

Detective, what do you want me for?

Of course there's something

Last night they knocked down a cop near the tunnel

and robbed his gun too

The reward is now thirty thousand dollars

Thirty thousand? Isn't that too little?

Forty thousand ought to be more like it

I can find out for you

Alright

Wait

Anything else?

I've heard that Ah Fa bears a grudge against you

Nothing really, he's a money collector

Naturally we are at odds

Hey, what are you doing?

Who asked you to do that?

Reserve it for our next job

You bastard

I asked you to knock out the policeman

to make them offer a reward

Now you should have got the money

But without this gun, who's going to pay you?

You idiot

Well...

That's simple, think of something

Give them back the gun

You've scratched it, how can I give it to the detective

Brother Fu, what are we going to do?

Just hide the gun first

Alright

Done

Xiao Ding, listen carefully

Don't do anything without my order

Don't worry

Hey, Ah Fu

how come you stll have time for coffee!

Better go and get some money

That's right, you've borrowed money from Brother Fa

Be careful

Don't worry, I'll settle it

Come and have some coffee

You think we are here for coffee or what?

Let's go

Brother Fu, sorry for being late

Sorry Brother Fu

Whose coffee is this?

Someone else's

Waiter

Give me a cup of Ovaltine

Ovaltine

No, make that a cup of Horlicks

You might not get the reward

if you just give this gun to the police

I want the police to get it in the spot

Xiao Ding

What is it, Brother Fu?

I don't think it's a good idea

to bury the gun at the Railway yard

Then...

Hurry back and throw it into the sea

Then we don't have to worry about it anymore

Go...

What about my drink?

I'll treat you some other day. Go

Stop talking nonsense, just go

Where were you the night before yesterday?

I was at home

Bullshit, I called your home but no one answered

Alright then, I'm leaving

Hello

Yes, it's you

Hold on... Detective, phone

Yes, speaking

The matter is done

Tonight at 12:30 AM

bring some men to the train station at Hung Hom

You'll surely catch the man red-handed

Wait, Detective

What is it?

I will get the forty thousand reward, won't I?

Don't worry, you'll have it

You are being surrounded, hurry and surrender

Listen, don't move

Put your hands behind your head

Walk out slowly, do you hear?

Stop, don't move

Don't run, you've been surrounded

Put the gun down

You can't escape

Stand still

or I'll shoot

Stand still

Detective

Ah Fu

Last night the man was caught

Yes, we did catch someone

but he was dead

What about the gun?

We found it but...

But what?

But it's not the right one

Not the right one?

Look at t yourself

I'm not a policeman, how am I supposed to know?

Give me a light

Thank you

Detective, let me know if you've found the gun

My brothers are n need of some money

Alright... I won't owe you

I'm leaving

Xiao Ding was shot dead

Our gun has been found too

but how come it wasn't my gun?

Useless thing

That's strange, has Xiao Ding robbed another one too?

I believe our gun is still there

Help

Damn it, you have guts

How dare you offend me

I'll teach you a lesson

Brother, it's not yet a week

I'm here to remind you

If you don't pay the day after tomorrow, you're dead

Don't move

Put your hands up

Don't move

Don't move

Go away

Ah Fu, I've been waiting for you for a long time

Detective, it's you who set the trap

how do you know it's me?

Because you owe Ah Fa money

and were threatened to pay him back by tomorrow

You didn't arrest me at the police station that day?

If I did

you'd not be convinced

You'd say that I have no proof, right?

Detective, now that you've found me

you only have the evidence, but not the witness

Don't worry

I'm a careful person

I won't do it if I'm not certain

Bring him over

So you're not dead yet

Not before you

He's become the witness

He will testify against you in court

You bastard, I should have known

you are an informer for the police

No, you are, you've almost got me killed

Lin Wen Fu, nicknamed "Informer" Fu

Charged with murder of Chen Shu San, traffic police,

# 1344 on May 4, 1970

Found guilty he was sentenced to 7 years' imprisonment

He's now serving his term in a prison in Hong Kong

Uncle, is this your carton box?

How come it's so heavy?

Not mine, someone might have put a dead dog inside it

Dead dog? Can't be, how come it's so heavy?

Well, may be a dead body

Don't scare me

People these days have no civic awareness

Putting things in the middle of the pavement

There's no harm moving it away

Open it and have a look

"Corpse hidden in a carton box"

Today's news in Hong Kong

This morning at around seven

close by Wong Nei Chung Rd. Tram Depot, Happy Valley

a shocking murder case was discovered

A girl was killed and dumped in a carton box

Her name was Qi Xiao Ying

a Form three student of a night school

She was found dead in nude

in a Hitachi TV carton box

Move over please...

Move over...

Court in session

Bow

This is a very horrible and mysterious case

because there's no eye witness at all

The murderer seemed to be calm, and

has destroyed all evidence after committing the murder

Detectives in charge of this case are helpless

The point in question is the absence of the motive

So now the police can only rely entirely on

circumstantial evidence

and results of scientific evidence

to go ahead with the prosecution

There are only two possibilities in this case

If there's a reasonable doubt about the case

the suspect will have to be released

The other possibility is without any doubt

in which case the jurors have to reach a consensus

Hence the jury would have to bear in mind that

this is the first time that scientific evdence

is used in a trial

That's why special care should be taken

Logical thinking must be exercised to analyze the case

Your Honour, Members of the Jury

Qi Xiao Ying left home at 5:30 PM

on December 16 last year

Her classmate, Wang, received

her phone call at 6:30 PM and they

arranged to meet at the Happy Valley tram terminal

When Wang arrived

she didn't find Qi

The following day, which was the morning of December 17

A cleaner found Qi Xiao Ying's dead body

inside a carton box

This carton box was left on the road

outside Ya Mei Company

The murderer intended it

to be treated as trash

to be sent to the incinerator and be burnt

Then he would be able to get away with it

Detectives in charge of ths case

based on the time of death, location and whether the

victim made contact with the murderer

investigated electrcal appliance shops in Happy Valley

and looked into the source of the TV carton

750 people, including the suspect, were questioned,

During the 3-month investigation

circumstantial evidence were collected and analysed

There were altogether 269 items

all from the working room behind Ya Mei Company,

from the victim

and from the carton box which contained the body

The fibre particles we obtained from

the defendant's suit were are enlarged

for reference by the court

The police with the strong evidence in hand

arrested Situ Bing Jiang on March 27

and charged him with murder

I swear...

everything I tell in court would be the truth...

and nothing but the truth...

Situ Bing Jiang

I'd like to ask you

since when did you start working at the Ya Mei Company?

Last August

Is Ya Mei Company located

close by Wong Nei Chung Rd., Happy Valley tram depot?

Yes

Tell me about the nature of your work

and how you get to and leave work?

I work as a clerk at the factory in Kwun Tong

After I get off from work

from 6 to 10 in the evening

I sell ice cream at the Ya Mei Company

managing the vending machines and doing some cleaning

You start work at 6 o'clock every evening

at the Ya Mei Company?

No, I usually arrive there by 5:45 PM

You leave at

ten o'clock every night?

No, usually a little after ten,

not later than 10:30

What's your routine before & after leaving work?

Cleaning up the vending machines

count the money

put it on the table

"London Ice-cream"

Then I would go out and turn off the light

"Ya Mei"

lock up the iron door, take a bus and go home

Do you mean you have the key to the ron door?

Yes, I do

On the night of the murder, what time did you get home?

Around...

it was after ten, not later than half past ten

If you don't believe me

the security guard can be my witness

When you went home, did you go out again?

I don't remember. Even if I did

it would be going out to eat with my wife

If you don't believe in me, you can ask my wife

In Ya Mei Company where exactly is the phone kept?

In the loft of the working room

If the phone rang, and you were downstairs

how could you answer it?

Usually it rang for a while before I picked it up

You were the only one over at Ya Mei Company then

If you answered the phone

there would be no one downstairs

Weren't you afraid of having an accident?

No. Before I went to answer the phone

I'd first lock up the door

How many doors are there in Ya Mei Company?

Two

Which is the one to the working room?

The second one

Just now you said you would lock the door

is this safe?

Yes

Did anyone use your phone?

What time are you referring to?

During normal working hours

Yes

but I don't usually allow others to use it

Why?

You see... I didn't want to have unnecessary trouble

Some scumbag might use the excuse

for robbery

No further questions

Situ Bing Jiang, do you know

this girl in the picture?

I don't

Had she been to the Ya Mei Company to buy ice cream?

I can't clearly remember

Do you consider her pretty?

Pretty subjective, I find her so-so

On December 16 the nght of the murder

what did you do going to and leaving work?

Same as usual, I arrived at 5:45 PM

and left at 10:30 PM

Were there other people there that night?

No

So you mean you were the only one in the company

Is that correct?

Yes

On the night in question, did she try to use the phone?

No, absolutely not

I've already said that

I wouldn't let anyone use it

You lured her upstairs to the loft

You tried to rape her but she resisted

and you strangled her

No, there's no such thing

You've made this all up

Your Honour, I object to this assumption

Your Honour

Sustained

Your Honour...

Jurors

I don't know the girl

and bore no grudge against her

Why would I do such a ruthless thing?

Your Honour, I really didn't do it

Please believe in me

Is this black suit yours?

Yes, it's mine

On December 16, the night of the murder

did you wear this black suit to work?

It can't be

I bought this for social occasions

I only wore it for banquets. Besides my job

requires me to clean the vending machine

as well as the company, so what I wear is only uniform

I also have to...

Just answer me "yes" or "no"

No

This TV carton box

was left inside the work room of the Ya Mei Company

Have you seen it before?

No

There were some bruises on Qi Xiao Ying's

ears and neck

Her face & neck were charged with blood; eyes bloodshot

her nails were blue, a sign of asphyxiation

Qi Xiao Ying was proved to have been strangled to death

The time was last December 16

between 6 PM and midnight

Her nternal organs healthy but her nipples were cut

Her hymen was found intact and no sign of intercourse

Parts of her nipples and pubic hair were burnt

Forensics officer Jiang Zhong Hai

In your earlier report

you recorded the time of death as December 16 at 9 PM

Why did you later advance it

to 6 PM?

Later we found that she was being strangled to death

What's the reason for all this?

Oh, you see

It's judging from the body temperature of the dead

Since she was strangled to death

and for this reason her body temperature would rise

Is it because of some particular need

that you had to advance the time of death?

Absolutely not

According to what you said just now,

her pubic hair

was burnt by fire or cigarette butts?

Neither

They'd been scorched by some high-heat apparatus

How could you tell?

There an obvious part which showed signs of being burnt

And according to analysis of her skin cells

she was dead

before her pubic hair was burnt

by the hot apparatus

According to the autopsy report

there was a serious fight

between the dead girl and the murderer

The murderer used his right hand

and grabbed the dead girl from behind

That's why there were bruises on both sides of her neck

The dead girl was screaming at that time

but the murderer used his left hand to cover her mouth

So there were finger marks on both sides of her mouth

In about 30 minutes, she was suffocated and passed out

and in anotherfive minutes she was dead

Let's come to how the victim got into Ya Mei Company

Going by the time and place of the murder

she'd have requested for the use of the phone there

Then he... immediately lured her into the room

locked the door, and brought her into the working room

Mister, can I use your phone?

Use the phone?

Miss, we never allow strangers to use the phone

Please, I have some urgent business

it won't take too long

Well... since you are a girl

alright then, not for anybody else

Thank you

Where is it?

Upstairs, go up yourself

Hello, be there in time to wat for me

How come you are so troublesome?

Alright, I know you are always late

don't let me wat too long

Alright

that's it, 'bye

Stop the noise

Scraps of paper, hair, paint

found in the working room of the Ya Mei Company

match with those found in the carton box

The same kind of fibre

was also found in the dead girl's hands and nails

They match with the material and colour

of the defendant's suit

The red rubber particles found on the dead girl's hair

are those from an electric wire

Such an electric wire was also found in the room

All the above circumstantial evidence is enough to

prove that the dead girl was in the Ya Mei Co room

Your Honour

A lot of suits have the same kind of material as mne

How can you be sure

that the fibre are from mine?

Besides, in a working room it's not unusual

for electric wires and tape etc. To be available

So how can you be sure that

that dead girl was in the room of the Ya Mei Company?

Situ Bing Jiang, what is this?

This is a soldering gun from the work room

Is there such an apparatus

in the working room of Ya Mei Company?

Yes

On the night of December 16

did you go to the working room?

Yes, but...

On the night of December 16

Situ Bing Jiang strangled the girl in the working room

Stripped her clothes off

burnt her pubic hair with this soldering gun

You're trying to frame me

I've never done such a thing

I went to the working room to get some tools

to repair the vending machine

I didn't touch that soldering gun

I really didn't touch it

You are lying

Your Honour, Jurors

This is an extremely cruel murder case

This soldering gun was found in the

working room of the Ya Mei Company

Members of the jury, the forensic officer stressed

that the victim's pubic hair was burnt by an apparatus

which is this solderng gun

Your Honour, there must be solid proof for everything

No conclusion may be reached at by mere coincidence

Your Honour, the prosecution requests

to call a witness to the court

Go up

I swear

that what I say is the truth, nothing but the truth

Miss Zhou

Has your skirt been burnt by someone?

Yes, twice

Is he the same person

who burnt your skirt twice?

Yes

Is this person in court?

He is here

Can you please point him out?

That's him

Miss, I bear no grudge against you

Why are you accusing me?

Situ Bing Jiang

Please tell me what happened

The first time was in the summer of 1973

I worked at a factory

and used to take a ferry from Shaukeiwan

Once while I was waiting for the ferry

a man stood behind me

He was smokng

I'll take you to cinema

Alright

Excuse me

Never mind, let's go buy some clothes instead

That's fine, I do need a pair of shoes

Let's go

What are you doing?

I'm sorry

What's happening?

Why did you burn my skirt with your cigarette?

I'm sorry... I didn't mean it

Miss Zhou

What happened the second time?

The second time was in early 1974

when I was taking the ferry

This looks nice

Really? Let me see

Suits you well

Don't you think this is prettier?

The other one is better

Let's go and make one

We don't have clothes

Why not go get some?

Let's go then

I haven't brought any money

I have. I've just got my pay check, I'll lend it to you

Thank you so much

Never mind, alright, let's go and buy it

I'll go with you

Alright

What's happening?

Why did you burn my skirt?

Miss, I'm sorry, it's an accident

Look

I'm so sorry

I'm sorry, Miss

You burnt a hole here

Look what you've done

Why are you burning my skirt?

You are crazy

Your Honour, no further questions

Miss Zhou, have you made up the story

about the burning skirt?

No, it's true

It's been two years

since ths happened

Can you still recognize that person?

Yes, it's him

Tell the truth

have you been persuaded by someone to be a witness?

No

Have you ever used cigarette butts

to burn Miss Zhou's skirts?

No, there's no such thing at all

I won't do anything that low

The dead girl was brutally tortured before she died

I suggest Your Honour and the jurors

to visit the site of the murder

Alright

Your Honour, Members of the Jury

I believe you have all looked very carefully

This is the soldering gun

This is what the murderer

used to burn the pubic hair and nipples of the victim

The box which contained the girl was placed here before

Your Honour

Prosecution's strongest evidence against the defendant

is that Qi Xiao Ying

had asked to use the phone

But as per what the friend of the dead girl states

is that it was more like a noisy background

when she received the call from Qi Xiao Ying

This indicates that the place where she was killed

could not be the quiet room of the Ya Mei Company

Secondly

the defendant worked from

6 PM to 10 PM at the Ya Mei Company

There were a lot of people either comng

from school or from work between 6 PM to 7 PM

A lot of people who were waiting at the tram station

would get a drink from the Ya Mei Company

The defendant could never kill

and do business at the same time

Thirdly, the autopsy report originally stated

the time of death as between 9 PM to midnight

and she was dumped into the carton box

half an hour after she was dead

It's the prosecution who, for the sake of charging

the defendant, put the time of murder forward

i. E. From 6 PM to midnight

This is an important point

Fourthly, the two cases about burning skirts

are doubtful

Why didn't Miss Zhou

have the defendant arrested

right after the second incident?

In fact, I really have some doubts

about Miss Zhou's memory

Fifthly, until now the prosecution

cannot determine the motve of the murder

Besides, we've no eyewitness to the incident

On the night of the murder, the defendant

left Ya Mei Company at 10:30 PM

Being a busy street there should be many people around

Even if he pulled the carton box out to the street

a lot of people would have seen it

Sixthly, according to the autopsy

there was some food left in the dead girl's stomach

The prosecutor could not find out

where she might have ate

on the way from Shaukeiwan to Happy Valley

Receiving her call at 6:30, her friend was supposed to

meet her at Happy Valley five minutes after

We should note the time element

Seventh, the defendant's manager and his

female colleagues who had been with him for six years

all confirm that he is a hardworking person

Polite towards women

Moreover, the defendant is married

and has a good family

He's normal, and doesn't have any bad habits

no criminal record

Your Honour & Jurors, please judge with perspicacity

Your Honour, working at Ya Mei Company for so long

I've never been to work in a suit

There are really too many coincidences in this case

I'm innocent

Result of the trial will be announced next Monday

Do you think that your husband did that?

Please share your views

My husband is a good man, he's innocent

We have all agreed that Situ Bing Jiang

is guilty as charged

The court proclaims Situ Bing Jang guilty of murder

and is sentenced to death by hanging
