The sniper of the Wen Hongbing case is called Zhong Jimin and is now working at a shooting club. Wen Chengyu talks to him and tries to get information on the case. Zhong Jimin reveals that he is not the one who shot Hongbing. Chengyu realises that it must be Yuan Zhibang, but as he was only a trainee, responsibility would have fallen on his superiors, so the shot was attributed to Zhong Jimin. He doesn’t know why Zhibang shot, and he couldn’t see the scene when it happened.
Chengyu makes his escape minutes before Luo Fei, Liu Song and Zeng Rihua arrive at the club.
Chengyu’s next step will be to understand why Zhibang killed his father. so the priority for the team is now to find Ding Ke and Chen Tianqiao who are the only two persons who know exactly what happened.
Chengyu had promised Zheng Jiao he would meet her every day after work, but he says he needs to do take care of something first and won’t be able to see her in the meantime. Her father was killed while working on a case, she says she wants to take revenge. Chengyu tells her he wants to pay for a treatment in the US that could cure blindness.

The team prepares the confrontation, Zeng Rihua checks the computers of the internet cafe, and Liu Song suggests to choose a member of the SWAT team to impersonate the snipper who killed Wen Hongbing, “Zhong Yun”. The plan is risky, but Luo Fei agrees. The man who accepted to play this part is Yang Lin, he was Xiong Yuan’s best friend.
(We also learn that the man who drove Wu Yinwu to suicide is a journalist who intentionally pushed Yinwu to despair for a good story.)
Wen Chengyu is online, he asked Huang Jieyuan about the details of the 一三〇 case. Huang Jieyuan says that it’s Ding Ke who took Yuan Zhibang on the case, even though he was just a trainee officer at the time. Their plan was to use Wen Hongbing’s family to persuade him to surrender. It so happened that Wen Hongbing’s son, Chengyu, immediately trusted Yuan Zhibang, so Zhibang himself suggested to use the boy to warm up Hongbing’s heart. He bought him toys and put earphones on his ears and brought him to the scene. The dialogue between Yuan Zhibang and Wen Hongbing was recorded, and Ding Ke was listening to it live at the time, but neither Huang Jieyuan nor any member of the operation got to hear the recording afterwards. Huang Jieyuan thinks that the snipper fired by mistake. According to Ding Ke’s expression, the negotiations were going well, and Wen Hongbing was about to turn himself him when the nipper shot. He’s certain it was not Ding Ke’s order. Even though Chengyu was on the scene, he did not realise what had just happened.
Wen Chengyu asks for the sniper’s name, Huang Jieyuan gives him a fake bait that Chengyu immediately dismisses. He shows pictures of all the SWAT members of the time to Huang Jieyuan and shows a footage of his son. Huang Jieyuan gives Yang Lin’s name, but Chengyu wants him to go through all the pictures once.
He then asks to talk to Luo Fei to know how he found the files he was looking for so fast, while revealing how he saw through the garage set up. Luo Fei tells him that Wu Yinwu committed suicide after talking to a journalist.
Chengyu then asks to talk to Mu Jianyun.
In the meantime, Zeng Zhihua has localised Chengyu and Deyang location: a hotel room. He and Liu Song go there, followed by Luo Fei and Huang Jieyuan.
When Liu Song and the others rush in the hotel room, they only find Deyang. Chengyu has left just after the end of his discussion with Huang Jieyuan, and talked to Luo Fei and Mu Jianyun through a phone near to the computer microphone. They find the results of a lie detector test on the computer and Luo Fei understands it must have been hidden in the earphone: Chengyu used it to detect the real sniper when showing the pictures to Huang Jieyuan, and asked to talk to Luo Fei and Jianyun to gain time.
