These fingers were deep fried.

You mean the killer cooked the victim?

We found the remains in the snack street and in front of so many onlookers.

If we don't crack the case within 48 hours, I'm afraid that citizens will panic.

Mr. Qin Ming, tell me, what is it that a man can do but a woman can't do?

Hey! What are you doing?

I'm asking you for the last time.

Where did you get these from?

The pelvis!

Judging by its size and weight, it's a female.

According to the calculation for the femur length,

this woman's height is around 175 cm.

Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By Dr. Qin Forensic Team @ Viki

There are only 28 hours left to solve this case

within the 48 hour window.

There are only a few clues.

We don't even know who the victim is.

Sergeant Lin. Following your orders, we searched everyone in Lihua Neighborhood for a missing people.

Don't even talk about missing people, even the entire community doesn't have a woman whose height is 175 cm.

However, there is a 25 year old woman named Lian Qianqian.

Every afternoon, she will be with the grannies in the community eating sunflower seeds and having conversations.

But, during the recent two weeks, she hasn't appeared.

A housewife?

What does her husband do?

He's the manager of the Food and Beverage department at International Grand Hotel.

Food and Beverage? Deep fried?

Could they be related?

And her husband resigned two weeks ago. His whereabouts are unknown right now.

Did you check how tall was Lian Qianqian?

She's about 160 cm.

That's a big difference.

Even though the bones aren't complete, we can't have an accurate measurement.

But from the forensic point of view, the femur is too long. She can't be 160 cm.

There's no point asking. It won't help.

We've been going in the wrong direction.

Come with me.

This is the female pubic bone symphysis that I've just put together.

The dorsal margin is clearly visible, so the victim is older than 25 years old.

The ridge mark on the pubic bone symphysis is still visible.

This means the victim is younger than 27 years old.

I've just weighed the pelvis. It's 198 grams.

It's considered very light for a female pelvis.

This means that the victim is short and small.

However, the tibia bone weighed 203 grams.

203 grams?

That's the tibia weight of an adult male.

Could it be that the victim had some physical abnormalities?

Let's look at the two bones under the microscope.

This is the surface of the pelvis. It's smooth.

Next photo.

This is the surface of the tibia bone.

Men have better developed muscles. It can cause a strain and tear on the bones.

The surface of the bones will be rough.

Judging from these photos, this tibia bone belongs to an adult male.

Do you understand what I said?

What Chief Qin means is that these remains are from two people. One male and one female.

Two people?

Lian Qianqian. Xia Hong.

Let's go and take a look at Lian Qianqian's place.

Yes!

There's a strong stench of blood.

It's here.

Preserve the crime scene.

This unit is high up in the building

so this door should be the only exit.

The lock hasn't been damaged.

It's possible Lian Qianqian's husband, Xia Hong, is our prime suspect.

The murderer could still be inside.

Property management.

Crack the lock.

Be careful.

There's no one. Let's go.

- Block off the crime scene. - Yes.

Judging from the blood splatters on the wall, this should be the first crime scene.

The murderer is an acquaintance who stabbed the victim after entering.

No. The red spots on both sides of the wall aren't blood splatters.

It's stained by the flies. After they fed on the body, they flew around hitting the walls and objects.

There's one obvious evidence of this.

There aren't any blood stains on the light bulb.

Since the light bulb is hot, the flies don't dare to fly near it.

Besides the drag and smear marks, there are also drips of diluted blood.

Drips of diluted blood?

Look here.

These blood didn't come from the veins.

Its blood mixed with water that was on some object and dripped on the floor after it was moved.

You worked on trace detection before?

I did.

There's a bead string-like blood flow pattern on the wall.

And the floor was rinsed with water so the blood flowed toward the drain.

I can say that this is the place where the murderer dismembered the corpse.

After the corpse was cut to pieces,

he moved them to the kitchen.

You should go take a look in the kitchen.

It's even more exciting there.

The liquid has thickened.

This could be the back muscles.

This is brutal. I can't stand it anymore.

This is the crime scene where the two corpses were deep fried.

Can we now confirm there were two bodies then?

You...

Go and find for some useful fingerprints.

Thank you.

I've checked all the crucial areas.

I found clear prints left by hands that were covered in gauze.

This means that the murderer killed, dismembered, and deep fried the victims with gloves.

That leg bone could belong to Xia Hong then.

Would a husband wear gloves while killing his wife at home?

That makes sense.

And here.

The blood stains here have a different shade.

Next to the dark blood smears, you can see the lighter blood under the ultraviolet light.

The shade of blood stains indicates the time they are exposed in the air.

The longer the time, the darker the stains.

At times, when we first inspect a crime scene, the blood is red.

Then it turns black after a week when we review the scene.

If the shades of blood differ, it means the murderer returned to the scene of the crime many times.

He might have the key.

What kind of murderer would have the key to their place

and come back multiple times to deep fry the body?

The lighter blood stain went all the way into the bedroom.

Human skin?

I've handled all sorts of cases. But this is the first time I've come across this method.

The corpse was cut straight from the neck right down to the pubic symphysis. Then, the skin was peeled from both sides.

It's the same for the limbs. They were sliced down from the middle and peeled apart.

The skin was peeled from the superficial fascia.

There are some muscle tissue left on the skin.

That means the knife used was very sharp.

It's possible that it was the knife in the kitchen.

One thing to take notice of is that the murderer kept the victim's breast tissue.

This indicates a strong sexual meaning.

- Let's turn them over then. - Wait!

There seems to be fingerprints on the breast.

Wasn't the murderer wearing gloves though?

Didn't you just say that there is a deep sexual meaning to this?

Then it's very likely that he took off the gloves to touch the breast better.

I finally discovered one of your strengths.

From discovering the fried hand in the waste bins to finding out who the victims were

and finding the culprit's fingerprints,

we only used 20 hours.

It's already pretty quick.

You guys worked hard.

But, we still cannot confirm who the murderer is.

We only have 18 hours left.

Report! DNA result came out.

Does that tibia bone match Xia Hong's?

Yes.

After comparing the fingerprints in the victims' home

the fingerprint on the female victim doesn't belong to the victims.

I just received a confirmation over the phone.

We found their individual keys in the pockets of both victims.

That means the murderer didn't take the keys from them.

This means the murderer already had their keys.

Seeing that the remains were all dumped in the sewer close to the neighborhood,

the murderer probably doesn't have a vehicle.

Then, who could it be?

Could it be someone who is having an affair with one of the victims?

No.

From what we already know, Lian Qianqian used to be a waitress in the hotel.

Because of her pretty looks, Xia Hong fell in love with her quickly.

They were much in love after getting married and are always seen together.

They also go grocery shopping together.

So, we ruled out this possibility.

Could it be revenge killing?

Also, the crime scene was too brutal.

It's not that either.

After those two got married, Lian Qianqian became a housewife.

She basically didn't have any contact with other people.

And Xia Hong is timid and good tempered, a typical nice guy.

They didn't have many friends.

We also made fingerprints comparison.

None of them matched the print.

Sergeant Lin.

- Director General! - Sergeant Lin.

At the crime scene, we discovered Lian Qianqian's account book and a diary.

We have also brought back all the remains at the crime scene.

Okay. It's all set. Go to work now.

Let me deal with the dead.

Late One.

Late One!

Come and take notes.

I'm coming!

We have found the cause of death for both victims.

There's a large hole on the female victim's skull.

It's a perforating fracture likely caused by a blunt weapon.

And on the male victim, there is a depressed skull fracture.

This mean the wounds on these two were caused by the same tool.

But, the male's skull was a bit thicker so the wounds were lighter.

The same wounds by the same tool...

It's the same for both victims.

The fracture wound is clean and has a regular shape.

If I analyzed it,

it's probably a round-shaped hammer.

Look, could it be this one?

Do you have its information?

Let me search.

It weighs 18 pounds and is used for breaking walls and sewage usage.

The diameter is 10 cm.

It's the same size of the wound of the deceased.

Then, who would use a hammer to kill a person?

It's a big hammer and it couldn't really be used at home.

But, maybe constructor worker might use it.

Construction workers?

Look! The rest are daily expenses.

But, on this day, Lian Qianqian asked someone to fix their sewer pipe.

Then, that's right.

The worker needs to go through the front door. That was why the door lock wasn't broken.

But there are so many workers, where should we start?

I know.

- Where are you going? - Crime scene!

In my apartment, we find workers by looking through the advertisements.

So, once we go through the advertisements here, we will probably know who the murderer is.

Oh my...

There are so many advertisements.

Where do we start?

Lian Qianqian had her sewer pipe fixed two weeks ago.

She got killed a week ago.

Did the murderer went to her house two weeks ago to fix the sewer pipe

and made a copy of the key?

Then no one would suspect him even if he came back a week later to kill them.

It makes sense.

Then, let's check those advertisements.

This is Sergeant Lin's job.

Good luck!

This many?

How long would this take?

Hello. Can I ask where is Li Dagou's house?

Li Dagou? His place has the small cart parked in front of it.

Yeah, that's right.

There are so many undergarments.

This room doesn't look like there are any women.

These undergarments were all probably stolen.

This guy is a pervert.

He really knows how to make a key.

This one is stained with blood.

This is probably Lian Qianqian's undergarment.

Captain Lin! There's a handprint.

Take a photo and have it verified. Quickly!

Yes.

Li Dagou?

Stand still!

Don't run!

Stay still! Stay still!

Don't run!

Get up!

I dare you to try and run!

Cuff him!

How come you didn't pull the trigger?

My simple life is cheap.

Behave!

You guys aren't too bad.

Not all police are dumb.

You said, I already ruined the body like that.

How did you still manage to find me?

Say it!

How did Lian Qianqian offend you?

You would call that offending me?

We barely knew each other!

If you want to blame someone, blame her for not being careful.

Hey, Shifu, how long are you going to finish fixing? (Shifu can also mean qualified worker.)

I already checked it for you.

It should be done soon. There are no big problems.

Thank you in advance.

Husband, when I took a shower, the pipe broke.

I found somebody who can fix it.

I was a locksmith before I got into construction work.

So, when I saw my lock, I knew it was opened before.

Then, why didn't you escape?

You're the first murderer I met that was so honest.

Mr. Policeman, I didn't think of murdering anybody.

I just wanted to steal her undergarments.

Before I made my move, I observed for one week.

I know every 5 pm after work, her husband will bring her to go shopping.

That day, I was in the basement hammering the wall.

I saw it was 5 pm.

Then, I went with the hammer.

I didn't know she would be home that day.

Qianqian.

Qianqian?

Qianqian!

Do I need to say what happened at the end?

Why did you deep fried their bodies?

Seeing those white flesh being deep fried in a pan and turning into golden color,

wouldn't it be exciting?

On April 4,

grocery costs 45 yuan.

18 yuan spent on a home pregnancy test.

Taxi costs 16 yuan.

Total costs 79 yuan.

Husband, when you wake up, I'll tell you a good news.

We will finally have a baby.

Also, I bought the groceries by myself.

The auntie from the grocery store asked me why didn't you come?

I said you were sick.

Seeing you being sick for the first time,

I knew you also have a time of weakness.

It's okay. I'll take good care of you.

In a bit, I'm going to make your favorite deep fried meatball.

You need to get better soon.

The baby also doesn't want to see their father being sick.

Police force in our city were notified of the September 15 murder case.

The case was solved within 48 hours.

The murder suspect Li was arrested.

The case is now waiting for trial.

The dismemberment case at the snack street was solved in 48 hours.

The motive of murder was undergarment theft.

A moment of negligence brought in an invader.

Household repair led to the death of a family of three.

The police has announced the case is solved.

The murder suspect Li confessed to the crime.

You see, these are all the ones which didn't follow the traffic laws.

This one over here ran the red light.

This car was overtaking another car.

Also, yours was parked in the wrong spot.

- It caused us so much troubles. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- Is this your car? - Yes, this is my car.

- You paid the fine, right? - Yes, I did.

- Okay. - Alright. - Thanks!

- Be careful on the road. - Sorry for the inconvenience.

- Be careful next time! - Alright!

Drive slowly.

Phenethyl alcohol.

Butanol and phenethyl alcohol.

Diluted phenethyl alcohol.

Did you put in water?

How about this?

A toe with poop on it.

Apple.

An apple that isn't too fresh.

It's been at least six months old.

Thank you.

Lin Tao already gave me an apple six months ago and he gave me another one just now.

I couldn't tell the difference. Thank you for that.

That's all?

Is there anything else? If not, I'll go first.

Nope, you can leave.

Bye bye!

What does it mean?

You want to keep her?

She's not too bad.

It's the first time you praised someone.

You're also good.

Nevermind, I'm not a human police dog.

But, to be able to bring a talking police dog to a crime scene,

it's pretty fun.

From the forensic point of view, how can you assess this kind of human police dog?

Some people have a more concentrated distribution of olfactory nerves on their nasal membrane.

This is 1 out of 10000.

Such a small probability that we were able to meet.

The name Dabao isn't too bad.

Captain Lin!

Captain Lin, we have a report.

Let's go.

Call the newcomer and ask her to come.

Let's go or else we will die.

He's killing him by overdose.

He doesn't want the shot

Your father is very sick.

He's in a lot of pain.

He needs a shot.

He want pain wants pain.

This VCR has problems.

This is a TV drama. If the principle is clear, it's okay.

They already said that if air gets into the veins, then it'll result in death so it's fine.

If this patient doesn't die, it's also the truth.

According to TV drama, the dosage cannot be too clear.

What if the audience copies it?

Then it'll become a show teaching people how to commit crimes.

30 milliliters of air is filtered through the lungs.

It's not that dangerous to the heart.

If you want to get air resistance near the heart to stop it from functioning, you need at least 100 milliliters.

The 100 mL you mentioned were for adults.

To the children, 30 mL could kill them.

You have to consider the audience too.

That's the actor's problem.

This person needs at least 200 mL.

This is only a drama, aren't you a bit picky?

You are a person who doesn't care about measurements.

You're someone who only cares about measurements.

It looks like I can't talk to you.

That's right!

Section Chief Qin, we received a report. There's a headless male body by the lake.

Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By Dr. Qin Forensic Team @ Viki

There are stitches in the abdomen area. The head won't be in the abdominal cavity, will it?

The deceased doesn't have any organs left.

There are a lot of ways to sink corpses.

You just need to tie something heavy to the body.

Why go to this extent?

The most painful part is this kind of headless case.

Could this be a murder for money?

Being able to take out all of the internal organs should be revenge killing.

Right now, I only want to know how Guo Yiqiang's finger got chopped off.

No matter how it got chopped off, we need to start from here.

So there are other reasons for stopping work here?

- This is A'Lai. - Who is A'Lai

What's wrong with your left hand?

Left over a week ago.

The victim had a been close with the police before he died.

Get down!

Before the deceased died, someone gave him anesthesia.
