=Criminal Scene=

=Episode 14=

Second Uncle,

what made you think something was off?

That guy secretly

paid 2,000 yuan to a scrap collector

for a box of something.

Does that sound normal to you?

I was worried Wang might be up to something.

So I came to check it out.

Here's 2,000 yuan.

Thanks.

It's pretty heavy.

Fresh stuff. The more moisture, the heavier it is.

Oh, my.

What is it? So expensive.

I'm just the delivery guy.

I have no idea what's inside.

I'm leaving now.

Hey, great artist,

what kind of masterpiece are you making?

Body art.

You wouldn't get it.

Isn't it just some adult content?

I need to take a look.

Someone has been murdered!

The eyes exist

to see beauty.

But you people

only focus on ugliness.

That's truly pathetic.

Just answer the question.

Did you kill someone?

Where did that head come from?

No, no, no.

I bought it legally.

It's just material

for my artwork.

You use a human head for art?

Of course.

The human body is God's masterpiece,

especially the skull.

No sculptor

can ever replicate

the natural beauty of real bone.

Did you pay

Liu Xiangui 2,000 yuan

for human body parts for your artwork?

That's right.

My work explores the relationship between life and death.

It's a reflection on the ultimate meaning of existence.

I needed these materials

to express my thoughts.

Did it ever cross your mind

that the head you bought

might be linked to a murder?

So what?

I didn't kill anyone.

Did you hire someone

to kill for you

just to get your hands on a human head?

Of course not.

I don't know where Liu Xiangui

got them from,

and I don't care.

Even if he killed somebody,

that has nothing to do with me.

I'm not a murderer.

That's the truth.

You claim your art is about exploring life.

Yet you have no respect for it.

Once someone dies,

the body is worthless.

I bought it

and used it in my art.

In a way,

I'm continuing their existence

and elevating their physical form to something greater.

Do you realize this is a crime?

I'm doing this for art.

Geezer Gu,

an important day is coming up.

Guess what it is.

Geezer Gu,

an important day is coming up.

Guess what it is.

This brat is testing me.

Mr. Su.

Everything is okay tonight.

Why is that car just sitting there?

A ride-hailing service?

I checked with the security guard.

It is here to pick up students.

The car is almost here every night lately.

Okay.

I'll take a look.

Gu!

Are you here to pick Xiaotang up?

Yes.

I think she already left.

I guess I came late again.

I'm going to meet my boyfriend.

We're going to watch a movie.

Okay, have fun.

Bye-bye.

Hello, Yu Yue.

Check a license plate for me.

Hey, sis.

Why haven't you called me lately?

I've been busy.

How are you lately?

I'm pretty good.

Just going to class, nothing special.

Listen,

I have come around.

I won't try to get you two back together.

If you really love each other,

you'll get back together eventually, right?

I'm dating someone new.

It's been a while since we broke up.

So I figured it was time to move on.

He treats me well

and even said he'd like to meet you.

That's fine.

Who you date has nothing to do with me,

as long as you're happy.

I just feel bad for Geezer Gu.

He's a good guy.

He is.

But our relationship has come to an end.

I thought about trying again.

But he's always too busy

and never had the time.

I was the one who had been

holding you guys back.

No, it's not.

Our breakup had nothing to do with you.

You're... I just...

It's okay.

It's good that you have already found someone.

In any case, I'm a university student now.

I can take care of myself now.

I won't be a burden to you guys anymore.

Xiaotang.

Listen to me.

It's not what you think.

Let me explain.

(Geezer Gu, I have a new brother-in-law.)

(Will you also find a new sister-in-law for me?)

(I'm happy for her.)

(No.)

(Zhen, you're the only family I have. I miss you.)

(Your birthday is coming soon, right? I'll celebrate it with you.)

(Haha. Okay.)

Liu Xiangui!

Wang Licha said

he bought a skull from you.

Where did you get it?

Don't get it wrong.

Wang Licha told me to do it.

I didn't kill anyone.

Why did you try to flee?

I stole the skull.

I...

I was scared the villagers would report me.

What exactly happened?

Tell me everything!

I was...

Well, you see.

Wang Licha

is into that whole artsy thing, right?

He often comes up

with those bizarre things.

Then I'm a scrap collector.

I often find things

that no one wants.

Yet, it's what he wants.

He's very generous

when he buys scraps from me.

Later, I told him

I could help him find what he needed.

From that moment,

he would tell me what he needed.

Until one day,

he suddenly said he wanted a human skull.

And you agreed?

At first,

I was shocked

when he said that.

I mean why would he want to buy a human skull.

You know

how it is in TV dramas.

I figured it out after that.

He

only wanted a human head.

It could be anyone's head.

It didn't matter

if it was of a male or a female.

So I figured,

with so many dead people around,

I could just find one, right?

And then?

There was a guy in our village

with no heirs.

He had no wife and no parents.

He passed away a few days ago.

So I dug up his grave

and took his head.

Then why did no one cremate the body?

You don't understand.

People

didn't really like him.

He had no family.

As for the villagers,

you know how they are.

No one really cared.

Officer!

What is it?

Officer,

you have already

dug up the body, right?

Can we just put him back

and let him rest in peace?

Not now for sure.

We need to take him for an autopsy.

But Liu Tianci died of illness.

We have the hospital records

and death certificate.

Everyone in the village saw

how he was getting weaker by the day

and finally passing away.

Am I right, guys?

Yes.

- I guess. - Yeah.

Madam, tell him.

Officer,

Liu Tianci's condition

was getting worse every day.

Sometimes, he would complain

about terrible headaches.

He looked terrible.

He was so pitiful.

Excuse me, officer.

Let me explain.

Liu Tianci

actually took my car to the hospital.

On the way back,

he kept saying

the doctors found

a tumor in his brain.

Officer,

I'm one of the oldest

in the village.

Everything they said

is true.

Poor kid.

He lost his parents when he was very young.

Now he's gone at a young age too.

If he can't rest in peace,

that's just too tragic.

He should be buried as soon as possible.

Mister,

I understand how you feel.

But we have to follow the law.

Besides, the government encourages cremation

instead of burials.

Liu Tianci died from an illness.

Why do you need to investigate?

I...

For a guy like him,

if he didn't die of cancer,

he would've been struck by lightning.

Stop talking nonsense

in front of the police!

Watch your mouth.

I'm just telling the truth.

I...

Officer,

we saw the photo too.

It's Liu Tianci.

Whether it's cremation

or not,

we'll cooperate.

It seems like Liu Tianci

wasn't very well-liked in your village.

That photo only showed bones.

Yet you could recognize him?

Uh...

Officer,

we'll fully cooperate with the investigation.

Everyone in the village

will cooperate.

Qian, what's the result?

Anything unusual about the body?

Do the head and torso match?

Yes, they belong to the same person.

The cut on the neck is clean

and there was no major bleeding.

The head was removed after death.

But as for the cause of death...

Was it poisoning or illness?

Actually, it's the opposite.

He was perfectly healthy.

Based on my examination so far,

Liu Tianci's body and limbs

show no signs of disease.

There are no injuries,

not even bruises.

I've never seen a corpse like this.

His organs are intact and healthy

and his bones are not damaged.

No signs of suffocation

or electrocution.

Even the usual poisoning symptoms aren't present.

His skin has no signs of wounds.

I've sent blood samples for testing.

But in my professional opinion,

poisoning is highly unlikely.

His death report states

he died suddenly from a ruptured brain aneurysm.

The hospital confirmed this.

Statistically,

about three

in every hundred people have aneurysms,

and they're a leading cause

of sudden death in adults.

So it's possible that Liu Tianci died

from a brain aneurysm.

But the only thing to confirm that is his head.

If there's nothing wrong with his brain,

then Liu Tianci died naturally?

A perfectly healthy adult man

suddenly dying for no reason

doesn't seem natural at all.

If someone deliberately destroyed his head,

they might be trying to hide

the real cause of his death.

Denggao,

do you think we'll get in trouble?

What trouble?

The death certificate isn't fake.

Even if Liu Tianci could come back from the dead,

the official record would still say the same thing.

Once you're in the underworld,

the result

will still be the same.

But the police took the body.

Won't they start suspecting us?

Are you drunk?

You should've never been made village chief.

Useless.

The officer said

they were just following procedure.

What can they possibly find?

I just don't feel right about this.

Look at you, scared over nothing.

First thing tomorrow,

go around the village

and tell everyone this.

If the police ask them anything,

don't say anything reckless.

Those officers today

didn't seem easy to deal with.

No kidding.

Do you think weaklings can become cops?

It'll be fine so long as everyone

says they know nothing.

Listen.

First thing in the morning, call the city.

Tell them

if they don't return the body...

Who's there?

Gu Zhen,

come.

Chief.

Liufu Village called.

They want to claim

the body for cremation.

Find some time to process the paperwork.

We can't release

that body yet.

I've checked all the documents.

The death certificate and medical report are all in order.

The head and body match.

So, what's the issue?

There's no

external or internal injuries.

But the medical records say

Liu Tianci had a brain aneurysm.

We can't confirm

if that's what really caused his death.

On paper,

everything checks out.

But something isn't right with Liufu Village.

I hope you can give us more time.

If there are doubts,

keep investigating.

But be mindful of how you

handle the villagers.

Stay professional.

Yes, Chief.

Go back to work.

Madam.

Let's go.

Captain Gu,

something's off about this village.

I think they're being threatened.

Officers,

you're here about returning the body, right?

You could've just called.

No need to come all this way.

Sorry.

But we can't release the body yet.

We're still running tests.

We're here to ask about Liu Tianci's

medical condition before he died.

Oh, his illness?

Ask Uncle Denggao.

He knows best.

Mister,

you're a doctor?

Oh, no.

I don't know all that.

I was just the one

who took Tianci to the hospital.

So I guess you and Liu Tianci

were close.

Most people surnamed Liu here

are related in one way or another.

I watched

the younger generations grow up.

So we get along the same.

Did Liu Tianci have

any conflicts with anyone

before he died?

Mr. Liu,

you probably know best

about the relationships between the villagers, right?

Denggao probably knows more

about the villagers' relationships than I do.

As a village chief,

don't you know if the villagers get along?

I...

He's always busy with development and economic projects.

He doesn't have time

for small matters like this.

As an elder,

so let me speak

on the chief's behalf.

Our village has always been a model village.

We all get along

with no grudges.

But...

We're here to talk about...

Qin,

the dead deserve respect.

It'd be rude if we ask too many questions.

Don't worry.

Once the autopsy report

is completed,

we'll return the body immediately.

If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave.

Okay.

Thank you for your cooperation.

No need.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Take care.

The villagers

aren't cooperating at all.

Saying they don't know anything.

See him avoiding us?

Something is definitely off.

They thought they said nothing.

But their behavior said it all.

There must be something

behind Liu Tianci's death.

What if they won't cooperate?

The medical records don't lie.

This old house is stunning.

(Liu Family Courtyard) It must have a long history.

It's even a protected cultural site at the provincial level.

The owner is Liu Tiebin?

Such a shame

that it burned down like this.
