Hello?

Hairs?

OK, I got it.

Well,

you can send them

to take a DNA test.

OK.

Mr. Han.

A few long hairs were found

in the pork shop.

I suspect they're

the missing girl's.

I've asked the lab

to take a DNA test.

Alright.

Hello?

Any new clues?

Mr. Han?

Wan just visited

the villagers around the cave.

They said

an unregistered crew

used to film a video there.

Those spider webs, cocoons,

and dolls

are abandoned props.

We've verified

that's true.

The art designer

has sent the pictures.

Photos.

Thanks.

Mr. Qi.

Photos from the crew.

Han Feng.

The crew should have used

the ordinary spider web.

But the murderer

changed it to

the unique funnel web.

This is a funnel-web spider.

Extremely venomous.

If an adult is bitten,

he'll die in 15 minutes.

The funnel-web spider is

the most venomous of

over 30,000 known spider species.

I think

the murderer might

imitate the funnel-web spider

to kill people.

Any grounds?

Ms. Zhu.

Make a video call,

and I'll tell you.

Look at here.

Two pinholes are parallel.

And the skin around

has been damaged.

This should be the scar

after injecting

the neurotoxin.

And here.

These two wounds.

Based on the caliber,

they were likely caused by

a tubular material like a PVC pipe

sticking into the body.

There are signs that

the victim's organs were

dissolved by a strong acid,

which might be injected

into the victim's body

through the wounds.

This modus operandi

probably simulated

the spider's way of eating,

like sticking its fangs

into the prey's body

and dissolving organs

with digestive enzymes.

However,

the murderer used a strong acid

as a substitute.

So, in order to simulate

the spider's hunting skills,

the murderer wrapped the corpse with plastic wrap.

Using plastic wrap and alcohol

to wrap the corpse

can embalm the corpse

by isolating the air.

Although the murderer

killed people like a spider,

that isn't

the real cause of death

but this.

See the pinhole behind the ear?

When I studied anatomy

in Medical University,

to reduce the pain

of experimental rabbits

when they were dying,

the school usually

injected air behind their ears

to cause an air embolism.

And this can also

apply to humans.

Why did the murderer do this?

The victim was dead.

It was unnecessary.

The venom and the strong acid.

Not enough?

Based on the blood coagulation,

the murderer should have

injected the neurotoxin,

but the victim didn't die.

Therefore,

he injected the air.

Someone who knows this

should have a medical background?

For now, everything is speculation.

The details...

We have to wait for

the toxicology report

to decide if that is

the venom of the funnel-web.

Now, that girl

is still in danger.

We have to find her.

Mr. Han.

Here's a clue.

Last night,

8:17 pm,

the platform received a call

from the North Pork Shop.

When the policemen arrived there,

Huang Hao, the reporter,

also the shop's owner,

had died.

The murderer disappeared

with the kidnapped girl.

In a nearby cave,

we found a dead woman,

the victim in the cocoon.

The victim has an obvious knife wound,

deep in her uterus,

causing great damage.

Maybe the murderer hates women.

She also suffered a wound

in her belly

after her death.

The length is about 20 centimeters.

Besides, from the time of death,

the victim is probably not

the kidnapped girl.

This is the rope we found

in the cave on the North Mountain.

According to the report,

the DNA

on it

doesn't

match the victim

in the cocoon.

And look,

the cross section is new.

We also found

its fiber

on a nearby stone.

So, it's likely that

the victim was imprisoned

in the cave by the murderer,

and then she broke the rope

with a stone

and escaped to the pork shop

to ask for help.

Unluckily,

the murderer found it.

Then he chased to the pork shop,

killed the shop's owner.

Meanwhile,

he took the victim away.

Based on these clues,

the kidnapped woman

is probably still in the murderer's hands.

This victim's identity

has been confirmed.

She's Ye Yingying,

25 years old,

a PR practitioner in a marketing agency.

On October 1st,

her family called the police.

She's been missing for a month?

Yes.

In this time,

any ransom call from the kidnapper?

Not at all.

Colleges in other bureaus

had investigated her house too.

There was no trace of robbery

or kidnapping.

In fact, they've been looking for

the missing woman.

And we just

found the corpse before them.

Tell them about this.

This case,

due to the jurisdiction,

we'll take it over.

OK.

Any clues about the doll?

Organs in the doll

are verified as

a cow's lymph, lung, and intestines.

And we're doing

a further check.

The murderer is likely

to have a medical background.

Having some medical knowledge,

meticulous,

pursuing a sense of ritual,

having some mental problems.

Those dolls

should be the practice props.

Practice?

You mean, using living people to learn

hunting skills like a spider?

Typical antisocial personality disorder.

Was Song Liang questioned?

Yep.

He insisted he's no murderer,

just stealing things.

Surveillance video.

We also compared

Mr. Qi's anatomical report

with the result of the on-site survey

confirmed

he didn't kill people.

Indeed.

We checked

all footprints on the site

and confirmed

Song Liang stayed on the 2nd floor.

That is to say,

now, we have

hardly any clues

except for two victims.

Since the crime occurred,

a dozen hours have passed,

and we still

can't be sure

if the victim is still alive.

When we found the victim,

her feet and hands were tied up.

Maybe the murderer

imprisoned her for a time

before killing her.

Don't get upset.

Creatures in nature

always have

their unique behavior patterns.

If the murderer indeed

imitated a spider,

he must have a fixed mode

of imprisoning others

and the crime cycle.

Xi.

This is a calendar we found

in the cave.

There's a mark on "August 1st".

And on this day,

Ye Yingying's family

called the police.

The next mark

is "August 14th".

A 13-day interval.

It happens to match

Ye Yingying's death time

I got

from the autopsy.

If the circle is "kidnapping",

and the cross is "murder".

Then, on August 17th,

he kidnapped another person.

And the next killing time...

August 30th.

If your guess is right,

we only have

three days left.

No matter what we do,

we must save her.

Li,

try to look for

all the surveillance videos

around the scene.

Shops

and surrounding roads.

As long as the passing car

has a dash camera,

retrieve the footage.

Besides,

when the victim escaped

from the cave,

she was pictured.

Find her.

We must know who she is.

Wan.

Visit the crime scene,

find out if there are

more witnesses,

and ask them whatever you can.

And don't forget the settlement

around the cave.

The murderer imprisoned

the victim for a long time.

Don't miss

anything strange happened

in this month.

About Ye Yingying,

what was she like at work?

Su,

investigate

Ye Yingying's colleagues

and family members

to check anything

we left out.

Did she have any hobbies?

She had a love of beauty.

She often went to the aesthetic clinic.

Mr. Han,

documents.

The pork shop is lonely.

No surveillance camera

within a 5 km radius.

When it's dark,

no car will pass there,

so the traffic police

have no clues either.

Hello, Su.

What happened?

Mr. Han,

I'm in Ye Yingying's company.

Her colleague said she had no boyfriend.

And she loved dressing up

and aesthetic courses.

I remembered,

in Mr. Qi's report,

Ye Yingying's mandible

has tiny pinholes.

Scars of

the aesthetic medicine?

Hmm...

The report of organs

comes out.

They are from ill cattle.

Suspected to be Bovine TB.

Alright, I got it.

Police station on Unity Road called us.

Someone is missing.

From the description,

it should be our victim.

I'll go there.

Ms. Zhu.

Follow up with Mr. Qi.

OK.

Let's go, Mr. Qi.

When did you

lose her contact?

We'd been contacting on WeChat.

She sent us voice messages

and made voice calls.

But in the past month or so,

she only sent texts.

We tried to call her,

but she never received it.

Her dad had a birthday a few days ago.

She didn't come back.

We thought it was weird,

so we came to He City.

Ten days ago,

we still had a chat

promising to visit her.

She said yes.

Any records?

Here.

However, we found no one

in her house.

Everything was covered with dust.

We went to

the hospital where she worked.

Until then,

she'd quit the job for a month.

As you were in He City,

did she contact you?

We've been here for a week

but couldn't find her.

So we called the police.

A week?

Yes.

The biological institute

has been excluded.

Among nearby universities,

only this agricultural university

is researching

bovine TB.

It hasn't broken out

for ages in this province.

Maybe this is an individual case.

And those organs.

Although corroded

by hydrochloric acid,

we can still recognize

the scar caused by the operation.

Bovine TB spreads through

droplets in the air and dust.

It mainly infects airways

and then digestive tracts.

One and a half months ago,

we indeed experimented on

bovine TB.

But all the samples

had been decontaminated

after the experiment.

They couldn't spread.

What if some students

took them out secretly?

Impossible.

Prof. Wang.

This is the tissue slice.

With this,

please help us confirm

if it's the same type

as what you used

for the experiment.

And a list of participants

in this experiment.

Please provide it

for us.

You're suspecting

it's relevant

to the school?

Prof. Wang,

do you know if

someone raises spiders?

Is she afraid of spiders?

Spiders...

Spiders?

Yaoqi is the most afraid of spiders.

There was a little one in the house.

She saw it

and was scared to go back.

Did this

have anything to do with

her missing?

No.

Not yet.

Alright.

We're almost done.

We'll inform you of new information.

Please follow me

to complete the transcript.

Need a long time?

Yaoqi's friend is

waiting for us downstairs.

Friend?

Oh,

that's it.

When we visited Yaoqi's house,

we met her.

She sent us here

with enthusiasm.

Hello.

No, thanks.

You're Yaoqi's friend?

Yep.

Did they finish the statement?

Why don't you come upstairs?

Your name?

I'm Li Shuting,

Yaoqi's colleague.

There's something

I can't say

in front of her parents.

What?

I didn't tell them

Yaoqi was actually fired.

Why?

She did a part-time job.

A part-time job?

In an aesthetic clinic.

Her parents

wanted her to come home and get married.

But she had a love of beauty.

So...

So what?

The money she made

was put into the clinic.

Having a part-time job there

can offer

an employee discount.

I'm in Ye Yingying's company.

Her colleague said she had no boyfriend.

And she loved dressing up.

Ye Yingying's mandible

has tiny pinholes.

Scars of

the aesthetic medicine?

You've seen her parents, right?

From the countryside,

they're conservative.

How could they agree

on plastic surgeries?

So Yaoqi

kept hiding herself.

I think Yaoqi

didn't disappear.

Where is the clinic

she worked in?

I have a name card.

Here you are.

I'd also been there.

Yaoqi said

the clinic has no compliance,

but it had a lower price.

Don't worry too much.

We'll try our best to find her.

Contact us

if you have any problems.

OK.

Hey.

Are you alright?

Yes.

Be careful.

Sir.

You're weak.

I'll help you.

Your phone number.

Make a statement afterwards.

Can you keep a secret

from her parents

about what I've said?

She'll be angry if she knows this.

OK.

I gotta go.

Let's go.

Give it to me.

What's that?

Zhu.

Mr. Qi.

Here's the comparison result

of the bovine TB

from Prof. Wang.

This is a name list

of the participants, and photos.

Besides,

Prof. Wang had

a reliable alibi.

He was at home that night.

Confirmed.

The organs are from

the experiment.

Therefore,

the murderer is one of those

who participated in

this experiment.

Is every student here?

Yes.

Oh.

Six students haven't arrived.

Zhu.

Xi assembled all the students

who participated in

the bovine TB experiment.

They're here.

Everybody, be quiet, okay?

Please cooperate with us.

Name list.

Six students haven't arrived yet.

They're on vacation.

Let's go.

I'm Luo Hongcai.

Luo Hongcai.

On the evening of Aug. 26th,

where were you?

At home.

Your age?

Nineteen.

Nineteen?

Yes.

Do you know them?

Yes.

My classmates.

How many people are in your dorm?

Four.

Where were you that day?

I was at home.

The dorm's gate has a camera.

You can have a check.

I promise I didn't go out.

Who can prove it?

I was sleeping.

How did I do that?

No one in your house?

Can you tell me

your parents' names?

Usually, the girls' dorm...

When you had a class,

did you notice

any strange people?

Sorry, I didn't.

Alright.

Sign here.

Why is the clinic here?

It isn't unregistered, dude.

Be careful.

OK.

Sir.

We're closed.

See you.

Police.

Why are you here?

Hey.

Hmm...

Just... Just the glucose solution.

For myself.

Sir, I...

What's your business?

Tuina. [*A kind of Chinese massage]

Unregistered clinic?

No, no, no.

Not at all.

Sit down!

Sit down.

What do you do here?

Tuina.

Need so many things?

Medical license?

Show me.

Sir.

Just some small business.

I did nothing bad.

Nothing bad?

Then listen to my question.

Know her?

No.

Think twice and answer me.

If there's nothing else,

I'm leaving.

Ms. Zhu.

I've asked everyone reachable.

Excluded their suspicion.

The rest are either out of town

or back home.

I'll keep contacting.

OK.

We don't have much time.

Quick as possible.

I know her.

She was my nurse

as a part-time job.

These medicines.

She brought them from the hospital

and sold them here.

This woman?

Maybe.

Have no impression.

Look up.

Look up!

Did you kill her?

Killed... Killed her?

No, no, no.

Impossible!

How can I kill her?

Why killed her? How?

You wronged me.

How dare I kill her?

Just a skin-whitening injection.

It can't make her die.

Her cause of death.

How can I know that?

I didn't kill her!

This girl had an anesthesia allergy.

How?

She came here for an injection.

The moment she received the anesthesia,

she began convulsing

and fainted.

Yaoqi...

Yingying.

Yingying!

Yingying!

Dong!

What happened?

Is she allergic?

Allergic.

Yingying.

Hello?

Where are you?

Come... Come here quickly.

Bad thing!

Hurry up!

Then... Then...

Then you saved her.

No, no, no.

I didn't know that.

What?

Speaking.

Sir.

I beg you.

If I tell you,

don't stop my nephew

from being a doctor, okay?

Say it.

I have a nephew.

He's learning to be a doctor.

What doctor?

An animal doctor in Agricultural University.

But...

As he came here,

he cured this girl.

Afterwards, the girl

left here alone.

You can check

the surveillance video.

She walked out,

safe and sound.

I'm done. Send them away.

Hello, Mr. Han?

Ms. Zhu.

Help me find

if a student's surname

is Liao.

Let me have a look.

Yes.

There is a student

called Liao Yunsheng.

Your nephew is Liao Yunsheng?

Yes. Yes.

That's him.

Anyone questioned a student

called Liao Yunsheng?

Nope.

Me either.

Liao Yunsheng?

Liao Yunsheng.

I didn't.

No.

Where's your nephew?

I've lost his contact

for a while.

Maybe he returned to his hometown.

Is he in school, or anywhere else?

Did he rent a house?

This kid

had few communications with me.

When something happened,

I called him.

I really don't know.

I'm not lying.

I really don't know that.

Thank you

and your students

for the cooperation.

You're welcome.

Take care.

Bye.

Then we're leaving.

OK.

It's late.

Goodbye.

Guys. Guys!

Wait a second.

Do you know

Liao Yunsheng?

Do you know him?

Unfamiliar with him?

Liao Yunsheng.

I... I'm familiar with him.

His home?

Wu Village.

Wu Village.

Take him back

and confiscate this shop.

No problem.

Be careful.

Here it is.

I'll check houses next to it.

OK.

Take care.

OK.

Xi, follow me.

There's no

funnel-web spider.

Mr. Han.

Look,

this is Ye Yingying,

the first victim.

These two are Xie Yaoqi.

Did he draw pictures

of all the victims?

Who's this?

Don't tell me

this is the third victim.

I'm Li Shuting,

Yaoqi's colleague.

Your phone number.

I gotta go.

I've seen her.

Evidence all points to Liao Yunsheng.

He's the prime suspect in this case.

Do you know a kind of people

imagining themselves as animals?

Clinical lycanthropy.

This is a mental illness.

Thirteen days

is the interval

between mating and egg-laying.

There were no signs

of sexual assault on Yingying's body.

It's dark. Sound of machinery.

We split up

to find suspected places.

You've met Liao Yunsheng.

Is that him?

Center the search on the clinic,

check all surrounding crossroads.

We can't let him go this time.
