Plot
Yeung Ka Ho is an American-born retired cartoonist who now works for the Hong Kong Police Force with his partner Lai Chung Yin.

A very drunken Tsang Ka Yin brought a quart of whiskey for Wong Chun Chak hoping to reconcile but he refused to let her stay. Tsang wandered and ended up staggering through the rail yard where she was brutally beaten to death by a killer named Marvin.

The final clue led Yeung to Marvin's hideout at the Holy Trinity Cathedral, where Marvin awaited Yeung's arrival, armed with a shotgun. Yeung recognized Mason as the temporary bartender at The Bamba Club during his work on the previous case. Marvin in turn applauded Yeung for having the tenacity to find him. Mason then fled into the church catacombs with Yeung in pursuit. During the chase, Marvin taunted Yeung by asking why he joined the HKPF, while alluding to Yeung's seeking for personal redemption. The chase concluded in the church's graveyard where Yeung shot and killed Marvin.

Despite being the killer and even with compelling proof of his murders, Captain Tsui revealed to Yeung and Lai that Mason was actually the half-brother of a very powerful and undisclosed politician, hence Marvin's name and acts were to be kept away from public knowledge and out of official records. The suspects that were previously arrested were quietly released and the truth was quietly buried to all but a handful of men.
