These fingers definitely been deep fried.

We found the remains in the snack street

with so many onlookers. If we don't crack the case within 48 hours, there will be panic.

But, my nose is telling me

the smell came from there.

Judging by the weight and shape, it should be a female pelvis.

Section Chief Qin meant that these bone parts belonged to two persons, one male and one female.

This is where the remains were deep fried.

The skull fracture has a clear and regular pattern.

It could be a round-shaped hammer.

Stand still! Stand still!

Case closed. The devil that resides in our minds turned this city into hell. Fin.

Leave now! There's a dead body!

What?

- You two, hurry! - Yes.

Crime scene is on that side.

Is it over there?

The headless body was discovered by a few swimmers in the area.

This place doesn't have a lot of people. So, the killer must've chosen this place to discard the body.

This is why I don't swim outside.

That's right. A lot of swimming deaths are related to outdoor swimming.

Most importantly, they are afraid of environmental pollution.

Right now, there are a lot of pollution in rivers.

Like pesticide, DDT, industrial wastewater and such.

Since there's a lot of oil, you don't need to care about getting pregnant.

It's actually true.

Would swimming pool be alright?

I just spent 2000 yuan ($300 USD) and got a swimming card.

In standard ones, there's nothing wrong. At most, you will drink urine.

One adult swimming for 45 minutes will drink 16L urine.

- When you drank it, was it sour? - I...

Isn't it all disinfectant smell?

Clean water doesn't have any smell.

If it has any smell, it's because of the reaction between the nitrogenous substance in urine and the chlorine in the pool.

It indicates that the water isn't clean.

You guys see. The body is missing a finger.

It isn't a fresh wound.

Can you determine the time of death?

Judging from the shedding of skin and muscles,

time of death was half a month ago.

The abdomen was sewed. The deceased head...

couldn't have been inside the abdominal cavity, right?

The killer couldn't have been this perverted.

Of course not.

Should we get the team to get divers to search for the head?

A chopped head means it's afraid of being discovered.

The head couldn't have been thrown into the lake, right?

Limestone.

It's so heavy. The killer placed a lot of stones inside the body.

It's probably to sink the body.

The deceased doesn't have any internal organs left.

It will be difficult to determine the cause of death.

These wounds on the body might be caused by physical strength.

The body had been wounded quite a lot.

Two stabs to the back. His leg was broken too.

There are also wounds that healed but opened again.

At the latest, there's a serious displacement of the shoulder that we need to watch out for.

It should be caused by after being controlled by the police and being rebellious.

I predicted that the deceased and the police are related.

Why is it the police? Wouldn't normal people fight and still get the same injury?

When police catch people, they have this special move.

They press down the person onto the floor.

Because of the person who wears the handcuff for a long time, there's a chance that the shoulder will receive more serious injury.

This wound is unique, just like the deceased.

Too bad there's no way of getting the fingerprints.

The fishes in the lake usually eats the skin of the hand first.

Looking at his head, the victim was most likely beheaded after death.

You're right. Although the corpse was soaked in the lake for a long time

and we can't tell how the blood came out,

but looking at the chopped part, it's not that smooth.

This means when the corpse was cut, the body already lost vitality.

Oh right, there's always this case in American dramas.

This is Italian Blackhand, in order to revenge the opponent, (Italian Blackhand- Criminal extortion used during 20th century by Italian-American gangsters)

they cut his head off and put inside a box.

Then, delivered to your door.

It's an assumption, just an assumption.

Recently, there are no missing persons nor are there any people reporting it.

The most painful part is this headless case.

We can start by investigating where these limestones came from.

Limestone is often used at construction sites. You can search for construction sites near the lake.

You... Go with him.

I'm forensic--

I need quietness.

What is quietness?

Has anyone from here gone missing in the past month?

Workers come and go everyday at the site. We didn't hear that anyone was missing.

- Thank you. - No problem.

But, this stone and the ones in the headless body, it's certainly not the same.

Uncle! Are you sure it's Guo Liqiang?

Yeah it's him! He's been missing for two weeks and he's missing a finger.

It's him for sure. He usually wore a glove.

But he got into a fight once and took it off.

I remember really clearly. It's him.

It's the same stone.

Hello, Chief Qin?

What's your boss like?

Our boss is very strong. He's just too short-tempered. He beats up anyone he likes.

- Does he have a family? - He has one son but he could be divorced.

How did you know that? He does have one son and it's been almost a year he got a divorce.

This photo was ripped.

Xiao Jiang, tell the team to verify the DNA of the victim's family.

Yes, sir!

This is too weird. There are no fingerprints.

I can't even find any prints on the most used items, the telephone and keyboard.

This room had been thoroughly cleaned.

This was probably where the crime scene occurred.

Say, the safe is empty. Could this be a murder for money?

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

Then why use this terrible way to treat the deceased?

If we want to know the behavior,

we should start from here.

How long have you not seen your previous husband?

About half a year ago.

You know, he is already...

I know. The police already told me.

Our condolences.

Actually, I don't pity him.

He will have this day sooner or later.

I don't think this was an accident.

What I pity the most... is his mother.

What happened to his mother?

His mother's health is not good. She's constantly in the hospital.

Mommy! Mommy!

Son, you're back.

Did brother-in-law buy you this gun?

You've spent his money again.

What's the police doing here?

Hello, little friend. We are handling a case right now.

- Don't be afraid. - Look how you scared this child.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

Little friend, uncle and I came here to see if you are behaving well or not.

I also wanted to tell you, if you have an illegal gun, you need to hand over to the authority.

Okay, here you go.

As a result of your obedience to the law, I will return it to you.

Keep it and protect your mom well.

You're a very good child.

I didn't think that you were good at playing with kids.

The child's psychology is important. If there's any shadow, there will be a problem.

Recently, these cases

are all about marriage, divorce, and stabbing each other's back because of disagreement.

I'm already afraid of marriage.

I think it's better to separate people. Meeting a gentle wife will be good.

I'm just scared to meet those type of wives that are sharp-tongued and never lets you go on any small things.

Oh, then that's not possible.

Then, you only could choose this quiet pretty man whose sitting in the back.

What is this? You guys are sending each other secret signals?

You can't also be jealous?

I won't be going to the charity banquet later.

Why?

I'm going to visit Guo Liqiang's mother.

This way, it can boost the result.

Okay.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, Speaker Zhanghe.

The Special Contributions Award this year goes to another familiar face, the chairman of Fu Qiang Enterprise.

Mr. Guo Liheng. Let's have a warm welcome for Mr. Guo Liheng.

He's a young and promise entrepreneur. Up until today,

He already built thirty-seven elementary schools.

Charity is a frequent topic for me.

I really liked this phrase by Laozi, "The highest good is like water which benefits all being and does not compete with them.

Water benefits all beings and does not compete with them."

So...

I liked another phrase by Laozi more.

The heaven's net has wide meshes, but nothing escapes it.

I wasn't a responsible older brother.

After many years, even though I've helped many people

but I didn't take good care of my younger brother.

Does your brother have anyone whom he dislikes?

A'Qiang was stubborn but he's not the one who causes death.

Mr. Bo, how many years have you had your leg injury?

Seven to eight years. The root cannot be fixed.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

You guys are wearing police uniforms, so don't go in. Auntie's health is not good, it will scare her.

Auntie, hello.

I'm your son's friend. I came to visit you. These flowers are for you.

Alright, just put it there.

You are Dafu's friend?

No, I'm Guo Liqiang's friend.

Guo Liqiang's friend?

We knew each other long time ago.

How did you know this unfilial boy?

Actually, not that close.

Auntie, how long have you not seen him?

About half a year ago, I can't remember it.

Do you need to drink some water?

No need. Just raise the bed.

Okay.

Miss, you're rolling the opposite way.

I'm sorry.

Miss, you're over-rolling it.

I'm sorry.

Alright, I'm dizzy now.

Miss, just tell me the truth.

Did A'Qiao make troubles again?

If I'm not taking care of him, there's still his older brother.

His older brother will help you.

Auntie, you've misunderstood. There's really nothing.

I just came to visit you, that's all.

Keep saying it!

She has Cerebral Thrombosis. She just had a surgery not too long ago.

It's already been repeating for so many years.

Did her son ever visited her?

Yes, he did visit. The one whose rich is very filial.

He visited everyday. He always bring his own soup to the elder.

This kind of son, being brought up this way is not regrettable.

There's another one who's pretty strong. Every time he comes, he fights with the old lady.

We told him to quiet down and he yelled at us.

- Is it him? - Yes, it is him.

His temper is bad, we told him a few times and he glared at us.

Looks like he's not waiting over there.

To my understanding, Guo Liqiang was a very horrible person.

Like his hot temper, he can offend many people. I think it's revenge killing.

Guo Liqiang's relationships are complicated. It's very hard to get a good investigation going.

This is his construction team. He offended a lot of people when he was the lead contractor.

Why did this construction site stop work?

If the boss isn't there, what is there to do?

It's true that Guo Liqiang isn't there but he has business partners.

If a construction worker has money, he can continue.

So there are other reasons for the stopping of the construction?

You say, this Lao Qin wanted to come but he doesn't want to get off the car. What's his purpose?

Captain Lin, this way!

A life for a life. Die without offspring.

This guy who wrote this has low literacy. The word, 'Jue' was written wrongly.

Do the workers know anything?

Our team already asked them.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Why does Lao Qin doesn't get off the car?

He's allergic to rainy weather.

Allergic to rainy days? I've only heard of people who are allergic to catkins.

Everyone has their own little habits.

Forensic Investigators don't like rain. It might be because rainwater washes away evidence.

Then rainwater can also leave evidence behind.

He's just weird.

Let's go.

Dad!

Dad! Wake up!

Why did the construction stop?

There was an accident here, so the higher-ups needed to stop construction to do an inspection.

Are those words on the wall related to the accident?

They are. It's like this. There was a worker called Zhao Yuan.

A month ago, the scaffold collapsed suddenly and he became hospitalized.

Because of the compensation issue, Zhao Yuan's wife kept on stirring up trouble.

She wrote the spray-painted words on the entrance.

These workers here are all from Zhao Yuan's hometown. Because he didn't receive enough compensation, they all stopped work.

Can I ask, how long has it been since the words were written on the entrance?

One or two weeks?

Then when did Zhao Yuan's wife stop stirring up trouble?

Boss Guo hasn't been coming, so she stopped stirring up trouble.

Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

It's indeed very coincidental.

But right now, I just want to know why did Guo Liqiang finger's get cut off.

Okay. I'll investigate this clue with Lao Qin. You can go investigate the finger.

Brother Bao. This is the list of the people that we investigated for this case.

- Thank you. - No problem.

It looks like I have to start investigating from his fights.

Zhaoye's family lives in this house.

Thank you.

He's left over a week ago?

Why don't you use your own hands?

They didn't tell anyone and left quietly.

How do you know?

Captain Lin. I contacted the police station in the hometown of Zhao Yuan's wife but she didn't go there either.

Okay.

Captain Lin, take a look at this.

Captain Lin, we have a clue! She just applied for a temporary residence permit. She's in the suburbs.

Temporary residence permit?

I haven't seen this guy around in two years.

Then do you know what happened to his finger?

When I was his bodyguard, his finger was fine. You should try asking A'Lai.

Who is A'Lai?

A'Lai is Guo Liqiang's follower.

A'Lai...

Is Zhao Yuan your husband?

We're the police.

Can I take a look around?

Hello.

If you need to get your car repaired, they can help you outside.

I'm not here to fix my car. I'm looking for A'Lai.

I am him.

I am from Longfan City's Criminal Investigation Team.

I was to ask you about Guo Liqiang.

What happened to him?

Guo Liqiang is dead.

How long have you moved here?

About a month.

Why did you suddenly move? Did you get the money?

Zhao Yuan is still hospitalized. I asked Guo Liqiang for money but he just wouldn't give it.

I took my daughter there to make a fuss

but he didn't even look at us.

Later, someone at the construction site told me the boss's brother is nice.

So I went to look for him. He paid for Zhao Yuan's treatment.

But it was still too late. He left us in the end.

Can I ask how long you two have known each other?

I've been his follower for seven to eight years.

Then why did you stop being his follower?

If I stayed. then I would be the one who will die.

So you didn't get the compensation?

The boss's brother gave us some money. He said to go home without worries.

How old is your daughter?

She's going to middle school soon.

Let's go. She's coming back soon.

Sorry for the trouble.

What's wrong with your left hand?

I couldn't stop gambling so I chopped it off myself.

Guo Liqiang is also missing his little finger. Do you know why?

We quit together by chopping off our fingers.

Does he have any enemies?

Plenty.

But only one person would kill him.

Who is it?

Hei Ba.

Why would you say that Hei Ba would kill him?

He owes Hei Ba a lot of money.

Thank you for your cooperation.

You often feel dizzy and your left hand goes numb.This is because you have a problem with your spinal nerves.

This job doesn't really suit you. It's best to get checked at a hospital. Goodbye.

How did you figure out that Zhao Yuan's wife isn't a suspect?

It was easy. From her hand gestures,

I can tell she has severe rheumatism. It would be hard for her to kill, behead, and dump the body singlehandedly.

And since she's already been compensated by the victim's brother,

she has no motive to kill the victim.

You'll still going to the Bureau when it's this late?

It's easier to think at night.

I think it's because Dabao isn't there.

I'm going.

I know what you're going to say. I'm not the only one interested in my job.

I wanted to say you don't need to turn on so many lights. It's a waste electricity.

Lin Tao told me to look into Guo's missing finger. I've made progress.

Guo Liqiang was a heavy gambler. He lost a lot of money gambling.

As for his finger, he chopped it off a year ago to quit gambling.

So I think that his missing finger isn't related to his death.

However, he still owed a large sum of money. His creditor is Hei Ba.

We need to first investigate Hei Ba before ruling out economic dispute.

This is Hei Ba.

A large sum of money...

I made a new discovery. Come with me.

I've been thinking about this. There are many ways to sink a body

You could just tie something heavy to the body, like a chunk of metal or one of the rocks by the lake. Why did he do it this way?

The murderer did sink the body in a troublesome way.

Open the abdominal cavity and remove the organs. Then fill it with stones and stitch it up.

Judging from criminal psychology, this is a redundant action.

That's right. Killing someone is an action that has no reciprocation.

But the murderer chose this method to kill.

Then from his perspective, there must be logic in doing this.

The murderer's logic...

The head is missing. It's to cover the identity. The finger is missing. The victim wanted to quit gambling.

Then the organs missing...

Even if it was for revenge, they wouldn't take all the organs.

Unless these missing organs mean the most to the murderer.

For example...

Organ transplant?

That's right. According to the report, there's a residue of etomidoline and fentanyl in the victim's body.

The victim was put on anesthetics before he died?

Yes.

Before we know it, it's already morning.

Lin Tao should be on his way to the casino now.

I can smell pancakes.

There's something wrong with the clues.

We shouldn't starve ourselves before we catch the murderer though.

- Mr. Ba. - Greetings Mr. Ba.

Hello.

Mr. Ba.

Hi Mr. Ba.

Look at my cards, what will they do?

The both of you are here?

- Mr. Ba! You're here! - How is it?

Not bad. Look at my cards. Are they good?

Play more. What you win is mine.

What is that about?

Stay down! Don't run!

Don't run!

Hold them down!

You beter behave.

Don't move!

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

Come out! I know you're there!

Okay.

Xiao Lu. Bring me a barrel of gasoline.

I'm cold. I need a fire to warm myself.

If you don't come out, I'll set a fire!

Xiao Liu, give me the gasoline.

Wait! I'll come out.

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

I didn't chop off his finger. He chopped it himself.

Why did he chop it off?

But why did he increase the dosage? Unless he didn't want the organs, he just wanted to kill for revenge.

That means when Guo Liqiang died, the surgery was already finished.

But we don't have any proof.

I will prepare the evidence.

The victim is young. Her hymen is intact. I've ruled out the possibility of other

non-standard sexual intercourse.

She wasn't sexual assaulted?

The most questionable point is her right hand. It's been stepped on purpose with shoes.

She wrapped up an empty ring box so carefully. That ring must mean a lot to her.

We can be sure of one thing. Qi Jingjing had a mysterious lover.

Sun Kai was Qi Jingjing's mysterious lover.

What was it that make you frustrated?

The victim is missing a molar tooth.

This could be a serial killer case.
