Belief 前行者 Episode 17

Jiang Taiqing told Jiang Yunqing that he should change his angle and form a petition by people from all walks of life in Shanghai, so that the pressure on the Public Board of Directors would be even greater. Hou Zichuan helped Tang Xianping to tamper with the report to deceive Shangfeng. If he was exposed, he would have no choice but to walk around. Tang Xianping always believed in Ma Tianmu, and Hou Zichuan could only be a dead horse doctor. At night, a body suddenly appeared in a rickshaw on the streets of Shanghai. Fan Yiting and Chen Hengli found the tombkeeper of the Wanguo Cemetery. Someone bought the corpse from him. The tombkeeper confessed that they were members of the Fuxing Society, and the corpse bought was Lu Youxiang. After a forensic examination, it was found that Lu Youxiang's body was black, and he had been poisoned before his death. He was dead before Ma Tianmu shot. Fan Yiting wondered why the Fuxing Society would spend a gold bar to buy a corpse. Tang Xianping had long told Hou Zichuan the truth. When Ma Tianmu was chasing Lu Youxiang, he poisoned Lu Youxiang with the bottle of perfume. He would die if he didn't shoot Lu Youxiang. Therefore, Ma Tianmu killed Lu Youxiang twice. Under the operation of Tang Xianping and Hou Zichuan, everyone would think that the person who killed Red Deer Youxiang was not him, but someone else. Tang Xianping and Hou Zichuan bought the corpse in order to prove that Pei Ruhai killed the person and sent it to Fan Yiting.

Fan Yiting approached Yu Duxing and said that Pei Ruhai had appeared at the scene of Lu Youxiang's death. He heard that Pei Ruhai had gone to the Fuxing Society, so he needed the report from the Fuxing Society on the assassination of Lu Youxiang to the Nanjing headquarters. The police station and the Fuxing Club have always been incompatible with each other, and Yu Duxing naturally wants to know the inside story. The truth they want to know is in the report of the Fuxing Club. Fan Yaluo and Jiang Yunqing took a petition signed by people from all walks of life in Shanghai to the Public Board of Directors. Fan Yiting received the petition, and Yu Duxing also sent a report from the Fuxing Society to Nanjing that it was Pei Ruhai who killed Lu Youxiang with a poisoned needle. Fan Yiting concluded that it was the Fuxing Society who killed Pei Ruhai, and Ma Tianmu assassinated Lu Youxiang was not guilty, and that it was only a crime of desecrating the corpse.

Chen Hengli released Ma Tianmu, and desecrating the corpse was not considered a murder. Ma Tianmu pretended to be a fool, and Chen Hengli explained that Lu Youxiang had poisoned himself when he shot. Chen Hengli took Ma Tianmu to see Fan Yiting, and Ma Tianmu felt that the deal was a good deal. Fan Yiting gave Ma Tianmu a French Knight's Medal, which the Public Board of Directors wanted to issue him during the execution. Now he is acquitted and the medal is still issued. Ma Tianmu was taken in a daze for a moment. Fan Yiting asked him to do something for himself, and the arresting house needed someone like him very much. Fan Yiting asked Ma Tianmu to be a special intelligence agent. He was at the same level as Chen Hengli. When encountering major information, he could cross him and report directly to Fan Yiting. Ma Tianmu quickly agreed.

Returning to the Fuxing Society, Hou Zichuan and others celebrated Ma Tianmu's work and congratulated him on his retreat. In order to rescue Ma Tianmu, the credit was given to Pei Ruhai, and Ma Tianmu volunteered to be an unsung hero. After the meal, Hou Zichuan left Ma Tianmu and Tang Xianping, suggesting that honesty to the organization is the greatest virtue. Ma Tianmu said nothing about the political donation. It was he who killed Lu Youxiang, and it was the last time he saw Lu Youxiang. It was hard for Hou Zichuan not to doubt Ma Tianmu. Tang Xianping also asked Ma Tianmu what he did when he kept Lu Youxiang in the confession room for so long. Ma Tianmu said he asked the money when Lu Youxiang died of poison, but Lu Youxiang didn't say anything, and he didn't even have a shadow. Ma Tianmu called himself wronged. If it was for money, why would he come to Fuxing Club? Wouldn't it be good to be a foreign manager at Biel International? Tang Xianping thought of Yu Duxing, perhaps the money Lu Youxiang had already been given to him. Hou Zichuan thought it was reasonable and he wanted to send a report to Nanjing to apply for investigation. Pei Ruhai did not want to stay in Shanghai for a long time, and the internal rape of the Fuxing Society could not be found out. He was not at ease. Hou Zichuan helped him report, and the transfer order may come down soon.

Late at night, Ma Tianmu went to see Wu Chongxin. Ma Tianmu's mission was to withdraw money, not to take Lu Youxiang's life. For this reason, he almost couldn't come back, so Wu Chongxin was a little angry. Ma Tianmu explained that he had a plan, and he had no other choice at the time. Wu Chongxin asked Ma Tianmu again, what should he do if the poison did not occur when the shot was fired, but Ma Tianmu could only take a gamble. He was blocking Fan Yiting's attitude, and blocking Fan Yiting would definitely let him go. Chen Hengli was puzzled. Although Lu Youxiang was poisoned to death, there is a process to kill Lu Youxiang. Whether Lu Youxiang was shot or poisoned is actually two different things. In fact, Fan Yiting had to release Ma Tianmu, so Pei Ruhai would forget it. If Ma Tianmu were to be involved in arresting the house, the fault would be great, and they would not be able to bear such a big responsibility. Facts proved that Ma Tianmu was right. In Fan Yiting's mind, the murderer must be Pei Ruhai, and Bratini sent the petition to show that he also hopes to let Ma Tianmu go.
