Gate of Rebirth Episode Synopsis
Gate of Rebirth Episode 1 Plot: A theft at Qingcheng University Zhuang Wenjie was blamed for being a thief
A theft at Qingcheng University was stolen by the Republic of China painter Li Chengyi's masterpiece "Water Lilies", which was also stolen until 2001, when an anonymous collector donated it to the museum, which made it come to light. Zhuang Wenjie (Wang Junkai), a law student at Qingcheng University, found that the painting was stolen when he went to see "Water Lilies", so he informed the staff to protect the scene, but the staff did not believe what he said.
When Zhuang Wenjie had a physical conflict with the staff, the other party called the police to find out that the painting was stolen, so Zhuang Wenjie was also regarded as the biggest suspect in the theft of the painting. Although Zhuang Wenjie studied law, he was very researched in calligraphy and painting, and he was particularly familiar with "Water Lilies", and he would look at it for half an hour every time he went to see it, so he quickly discovered the difference in paintings and the subtle differences in paintings, and determined that the paintings had been stolen.
The police investigated Zhuang Wenjie and found that Zhuang Wenjie was suspected of stealing the computer of his classmates in the same dormitory, because there was no evidence and no one called the police, and then the computer quietly returned, so the students in the same dormitory were suspicious of Zhuang Wenjie and had a gap with him. Luo Jian (Zhang Yi), the leader of the criminal investigation brigade, when listening to Zhuang Wenjie's background information, found that he was the son of Zhuang Yaobai, who had stolen "Roselle", and Zhuang Yaobai also accidentally drove into the river and disappeared after stealing the painting that year, so he was sentenced to death, which surprised Luo Jian.
Luo Jian learned the identity of Zhuang Wenjie, and at this time, the people in the identification department found that the signature on the fake painting could only be seen with a polarizer, and this signature was three words of Wen Jie.' Luo Jian did not suspect Zhuang Wenjie with prejudice against Zhuang Wenjie because of his background, but deliberately talked to Zhuang Wenjie about the situation to see if Zhuang Wenjie had encountered anything. Luo Jian believes that the signature is very similar to Zhuang Wenjie's notes, but there is still a deviation, he thinks that people related to Zhuang Wenjie deliberately did this, so he wants to know whether Zhuang Wenjie has been targeted.
Zhuang Wenjie did find some strange things at home, but because it was related to his lost relatives, he did not confess the truth to Luo Jian. Zhuang Wenjie was suspected of stealing the painting, and the school spread wildly, but Zhuang Wenjie did not care at all, he only cared about whether the painting could be retrieved. Later, in the art museum, the police found a passive window, and the window was facing the "Water Lilies", which made Luo Jian think that the person who stole the painting was a master.
Zhuang Wenjie chatted with Luo Jian about the implementation plan of the pirate painting family, so that Luo Jian could know how the painting was stolen, so that there was a direction for investigation. After listening to Zhuang Wenjie's opinion, Luo Jian also asked Zhuang Wenjie about his relationship with the painting, and he wanted to know why Zhuang Wenjie liked the painting so much. Zhuang Wenjie explained that his mother liked "Water Lilies" very much, and his mother died prematurely, so he indirectly liked the painting. After listening to Luo Jian's advice, Zhuang Wenjie went back to think about it for a night, and decided to cooperate with Luo Jian to find out the truth about the stealing of the painting, so as to find out the relationship and purpose of the person who was married to him.
Zhuang Wenjie went to Luo Jian again, explained his ideas, and then provided Luo Jian with a plan to see the forgery, because he had copied seventeen "Water Lilies" and had also communicated with masters who had the same interest on the Internet, so he could find the painter from the style of the fake. Luo Resolutely decided to let Zhuang Wenjie try it, and also asked the expert Teacher Fang to look at the fakes to see if what Zhuang Wenjie said was true. Zhuang Wenjie provided a very important clue when he looked at the fakes with Teacher Fang, and even Teacher Fang admired Zhuang Wenjie and wanted him to change his career.
Through the clues provided by Zhuang Wenjie, Luo Jian went to the street painter to see if he could find a painter who made a fake. Luo Jian looked for a street painter to paint a self-portrait, and accidentally learned that the most powerful person in the painting was Ma San, and Ma San just happened to be out of the stall during this time, so Luo Jian was very sure that Ma San painted the painting. Luo Jian went to find Ma San and wanted Ma San to help him paint, Ma San saw that it was "Water Lilies", and immediately ran away, which proved that he had a problem, so he was directly arrested by Luo Jian and returned to the police station.
Ma San confessed that the painting was painted by a young man, paid him a deposit and prepared something to set the painting, and only paid him the balance after he finished the painting. Ma San explained all the process, but also explained that the person told him to sign the name, and then threw away the mobile phone, and he was reluctant to throw away the new mobile phone, so he threw away the card and left the mobile phone for his girlfriend to use.
Zhuang Wenjie went home and found that what he had put on the door was missing, knowing that there was an uninvited guest at home.
The Gate of Rebirth 2 Episode Plot: Ding Shenghuo puts the real painting in Zhuang Wenjie's home and forces Zhuang Wenjie to cooperate with him
Zhuang Wenjie (Wang Junkai) was not at all surprised to find that there were guests at home, because his home, those people had already come, so he was not surprised at all. The person who came claimed to be Ding Shenghuo (Tian Xiaojie), and Zhuang Wenjie asked Ding Shenghuo what his purpose in secretly marrying himself was. Ding Shenghuo did not admit to stealing the painting, indicating that the suspect in stealing the painting was Zhuang Wenjie, and Zhuang Wenjie then described the two subordinates brought by Ding Sheng, proving that the painting was stolen by them.
Ding Shenghuo saw that Zhuang Wenjie had observed so carefully, more than his father Zhuang Yaobai, so he made clear his intentions and asked Zhuang Wenjie to do things for them. Zhuang Wenjie said that he was not a thief and did not want to have anything to do with them, so Ding Shenghuo had to threaten Zhuang Wenjie. Ding Shenghuo called out the subordinate hiding in the toilet, and Zhuang Wenjie knew at a glance that it was the person who talked to Lin Zhiyue (Fan Shiran) at school in the afternoon, so he directly asked them not to move Lin Zhiyue.
Zhuang Wenjie repeatedly said that Lin Zhiyue had nothing to do with him, and asked Ding to make a fire and they should not implicate Lin Zhiyue, but Ding Zhiyue did not think so. Ding Shenghuo used Lin Zhiyue as a threat, and also hid the stolen painting in Zhuang Wenjie's home, and reminded Zhuang Wenjie that Ma San who painted the painting had been arrested, and according to the time calculation, in another twenty minutes, the police would come to zhuang Wenjie and let Zhuang Wenjie find out the painting as soon as possible. After Ding Shenghuo made it clear that he had come, he left Zhuang Wenjie's house and asked Zhuang Wenjie to consider his suggestion.
The mobile phone provided by Ma San found two phone calls from Zhuang Wenjie's landline, and Dazhi (Lan Haimeng) immediately determined that Zhuang Wenjie was undoubtedly the murderer of the painting, but Luo Jian (Zhang Yi) did not think so. Luo Jian went directly to Zhuang Wenjie's house, pretended to accidentally find it, and talked to Zhuang Wenjie, so as to inquire whether Zhuang Wenjie was at home during those two talk times. Zhuang Wenjie's schedule was very stable, and he had his own arrangements at both times, and quickly explained the situation and proved that he was not at home at that time.
Luo Jian did not ask about the suspicious situation, so he asked about the landline at home, and Zhuang Wenjie said that he did not know about it, so he called the landlord in person to ask about the situation. The landlord said the location of the landline telephone line, and Zhuang Wenjie went to see Luo Jian to prove his innocence, and Luo Jian was ready to leave. When Luo Jian left, he smelled the smoke in the house, so he asked Zhuang Wenjie if he would smoke. Zhuang Wenjie lied that the toilet was blocked, and he asked a maintenance worker to pass it, and the cigarettes may have been smoked by them.
The next day, Zhuang Wenjie saw Ding Shenghuo again at school, so he ordered takeaway food to be delivered to Luo Jian through the takeaway shop where he worked. Zhuang Wenjie provided Luo Jian with the portraits of Ding Shenghuo's four men, explained that Ding Shenghuo threatened him, and gave Luo Jian the real paintings he had obtained. After Luo Jian got the painting, he immediately went to an expert to identify it, and at the same time began to investigate whether what Zhuang Wenjie said was true. Huge Zhi was very arbitrary, and when he saw that Zhuang Wenjie had sent the painting back, he once again believed that the painting was stolen by Zhuang Wenjie, but Luo Jian did not think so.
Luo Jian found that the information provided by Zhuang Wenjie, as well as those people, coincided with the theft of paintings, like the gang that carried out the theft of paintings. Zhuang Wenjie saw that the knife had gone to harass Lin Zhiyue again, so he deliberately went to the knife to question the reason, and took this opportunity to inform Luo Jian and tell Luo Jian about Ding's threat to him. According to Ding's meaning, the knife threatened Zhuang Wenjie, asking Zhuang Wenjie if he wanted to think clearly and whether he was willing to cooperate with them, at which time the knife found that Zhuang Wenjie's headphone lights were flashing.
Zhuang Wenjie realized that his small actions had been discovered, so he quietly hung up the phone, changed the music, and deleted the record. The knife took Zhuang Wenjie's mobile phone, checked it, and found no problems, which believed that Zhuang Wenjie was really willing to cooperate with them because there was no way back. After Xiao Dao believed Zhuang Wenjie, he took Zhuang Wenjie out of the school, blindfolded Zhuang Wenjie, and then left with him. After the call ended, Luo Jian found that Zhuang Wenjie was on the knife's car through the monitoring at the school gate, so he sent someone to follow him.
The knife was very alert, and after taking a lot of detours, he entered the underground parking lot, and then he threw the huge wisdom at them, and the huge wisdom they searched all over the parking lot, and did not find the knife's car. Luo Jian was worried that Zhuang Wenjie was in danger, and when he began to arrange a large-scale tracking, he discovered the suspicion of surveillance.
Gate of Rebirth 3 Episode Plot: Luo Jian cooperates with Zhuang Wenjie to take the painting and let Zhuang Wenjie go to see Liao Detong
When Luo Jian (Zhang Yi) arranged for the help of the nearby police, he saw the footage in the surveillance and found that there was a truck driving out of the garage, so he checked the time when the car drove out. After Luo Jian checked, he found that the knife's car, which may have been hidden in the truck, left under their eyes, so he let people lock the truck.
Zhuang Wenjie (Wang Junkai) is smoothly brought to the front of Ding Shenghuo (Tian Xiaojie), who tells Zhuang Wenjie of the plan and explains that their target is Liao Detong, the president of Deyao Group. Liao Detong spent all his energy on collecting the best in the world, and for this reason he also built a highly secure vault that only he could enter, hiding all kinds of best.
Ding Shenghuo wanted to open the vault, and this required a special key, that is, "Water Lilies", so he wanted to sell the painting to Liao Detong. Zhuang Wenjie believes that the painting thing is so big, Liao Detong definitely has no interest in asking for this painting, but Ding Shenghuo does not think so. Ding Shenghuo explained that Zhuang Wenjie was the son of Zhuang Yaobai, and Liao De believed in Zhuang Yaobai, so he also believed in Zhuang Wenjie.
Ding Shenghuo sent Zhuang Wenjie's photo to Liao Detong, and Liao Detong directly set a time and place to meet with Zhuang Wenjie. Ding Shenghuo wanted to take Zhuang Wenjie to see Liao Detong, and he also needed the painting, and when Xiao Dao was sent to get the painting, he thought that he could not recognize the real and fake paintings, and asked Zhuang Wenjie to take him with him to get the paintings.
Zhuang Wenjie was asked to get the painting, and he handed it over to the police, which made him a little nervous, but he still cooperated with the knife operation. Zhuang Wenjie thought of ways to delay time, but he still had to face the matter of taking pictures, and he was very uneasy and did not know how to deal with it. The knife stared at Zhuang Wenjie's every move, and after Zhuang Wenjie entered the house, he found that the corner of the table was a little different, so he understood the hint left by Luo Jian, so he stepped on the table and took a picture on the partition.
Luo Jian could not find the whereabouts of the truck, and guessed that Ding Shenghuo would return to Zhuang Wenjie's house to get the painting, so he went to put the painting away in advance and waited for Zhuang Wenjie to come back to get it. After Zhuang Wenjie took the painting, he was afraid that the knife would find Luo Jian who was hiding the painting, so he went to close the window. When Zhuang Wenjie was on the window sill, Luo Jian reminded Zhuang Wenjie to put on the monitoring device he had given him and told Zhuang Wenjie to be careful.
Xiao Dao was suspicious of Zhuang Wenjie's behavior, so he looked at the window and pulled up the curtains, but he did not find Luo Jian, so he did not suspect Zhuang Wenjie. When Zhuang Wenjie got into the car of the knife, he put the monitor into his ear and contacted Luo Jian, but he did not expect that after arriving at the garage, the monitor was blocked by the jamming device.
After Ding Shenghuo saw the painting that Zhuang Wenjie had brought back, he first identified the painting, and after determining that the painting was correct, he told Zhuang Wenjie the plan. Ding Shenghuo wanted to sell the painting to Liao Detong, but in advance, he would install a micro-punishment jammer in the painting shaft, and when the painting entered the vault, the security around the vault would be blocked, and he would use this time to open the vault and take away the best.
Zhuang Wenjie wanted Ding Tonhuo to trust him, and after Ding Shenghuo said the plan, he also said with special treasure that if Ding Shenghuo's people would not install jammers, he would let him help. After everything was ready, Ding Shenghuo instructed Zhuang Wenjie a few words, and asked the knife to take Zhuang Wenjie to see Liao Detong. After leaving the garage, Zhuang Wenjie contacted Luo Jian again through his little cleverness, and let Luo Jian know the information he wanted to convey through chatting with the knife.
Zhuang Wenjie and the knife arrived at Liao Detong, and Liao Detong's people immediately began to search them, so Luo Jian asked Dazhi (Lan Haimeng) to make another preparation. When Zhuang Wenjie clashed with Liao Detong's people, he quietly threw the listening device in his ear into the fish tank, so that he was not suspected and went to see Liao Detong smoothly. Huge Zhi debugged the equipment and released a drone to the office building to monitor Liao Detong's every move in the office.
Liao Detong talked to Zhuang Wenjie for a while, but Zhuang Wenjie did not want to listen to the past events, and directly asked Liao Detong for a price. Zhuang Wenjie, according to What Ding Shenghuo said, offered a price of five million, waiting for Liao Detong to deny it, so that Liao Detong would believe that the painting was true. Liao Detong explained that the price of the painting was only worth 1.5 million, and Zhuang Wenjie asked for five million, and Zhuang Wenjie said that the other 3.5 million was the money he stole from the painting. Liao Detong did not agree with what Zhuang Wenjie said, he did not care about Zhuang Wenjie's craftsmanship, only wanted to paint, Zhuang Wenjie only reduced the price to sell three million.
Liao Detong heard Zhuang Wenjie say the price of three million, and immediately threatened Zhuang Wenjie whether he was afraid that he would eat black.
