Siu-wang deliberately lets Heung-wing act as prosecution witness. He prevents Sun-hop from approaching Heung-wing and also Mei-la from intervening. Lab tests results indicate Heung-wing’s DNA corresponds to the DNA in the condom beside the human remains. The judge rejects the evidence as it has been obtained by illegitimate means. Mei-la covertly investigates and promptly tells Siu-wang what she knows. But Siu-wang ignores her. The judge reprimands Sun-hop for daringly revealing everything. Mei-la earnestly offers to go to court to testify for Sun-hop. Regrettably, Siu-wang is not affected by this maneuver. Sun-hop suspects CCTV footage showing Heung-wing leaving the incident location has been tampered with. But it cannot be presented as evidence in court. Siu-wang unexpectedly makes a preemptive move by lodging an application for withdrawal from prosecution.
