Nonsense!

Chi-wai has 7 inner personalities!

One of them is deadly.

The woman is the brain.

The fatso is a glutton and a coward!

I've never seen so many personalities.

Chi-wai is a complex person!

Bun, you're hurt.

Why did the fatso say...

they can't fire the gun?

Police investigation.

Excuse us.

You brought my gun to me.

Police pistol plays

a critical role in this case.

I know,

the gun was involved in so many crimes...

You got it all wrong!

Apply emotions to investigate! Not logic!

Hold up! Again?

Everyone get down!

Everyone get down!

Police investigation!

Hold up!

Sorry guys.

Give me all your money.

Bun, any leads?

We have 2 suspects,

there are 2 guns involved.

One person robbed the armored truck

and convenience store.

This person is a ruthless murderer.

The other didn't kill

when he robbed the mahjong parlor...

Not as bad compared...

Look.

It's a sign!

God is telling us

we're on the right track!

Thank you!

But why would a high-stakes criminal...

waste time on a convenience store?

Because he has 7 personalities!

But what's the identity

of the other gunman?

Where did his gun come from?

Honey, I'm almost done.

Let's eat out.

I'm working. I'll call you back.

Bring your girlfriend along.

Reserve a table for 4.

I'll pick you up from home.

Bun.

Let's get a bigger table.

Set a table for us outside.

Yes.

Relax.

This is my girlfriend, Gigi.

She's in the Anti-Triad Department.

Nice to meet you.

I once worked there too.

My wife said she worked there too.

Waiter. Yes?

Open some wine. You decide the course.

We only want the best.

My wife doesn't eat beef, remember?

Of course!

Yours? Yes.

I once had one too. Really?

How about a spin?

No.

You haven't driven for a while.

And your license has expired.

Please, honey. No.

I'll drive you.

Be right back.

Sit tight!

She can't see us anymore!

How long have you known Bun?

Bun used to come here

with his wife on his motorcycle.

Then he started coming by himself.

But said he was with his wife.

I didn't ask questions.

I assumed his wife died.

You know he's...

Nice ride! You drove!

Hold on tight!

My hair's a mess!

I'm going to the restroom.

I'll bring you.

No, it's alright.

Believe me,

it's hard to find.

It's okay...

Really, I'll find it myself.

It's here. Thanks.

It's an honor to be working with Bun.

He has a unique way of investigating.

Can you see her?

Just trying.

Thanks for coming to my husband.

He's become a happier man.

Why did you offer your ear to Chief?

It was a present.

Chief has no inner personalities.

How about me?

Wong is dead.

How do you know?

He's here.

Buried in mud.

For 18 months,

police and citizens searched
