Original subtitles

The victim was young.

Her hymen is intact. Rule out non consensual sexual intercourse.

No sexual assault?

She was strangled and then died from mechanical asphyxiation.

The greatest mystery is her right hand. It was stomped hard by a shoe.

It's an empty ring box yet she wrapped it so well.

Was the ring important to her?

It can be confirmed that Qi Jingjing had a secret boyfriend.

The victim is missing a molar.

What's wrong with you?

Was the air conditioning on?

How do you know?

The air conditioning doesn't smell the same as heat.

That's true. When the police came, the air conditioning was on.

This is not the season to turn on the air conditioning.

Your nose is very good.

By the way, we found a ring box that's the same as Qi Jingjing's.

So, your assumptions were probably right.

Sun Kai is Qi Jingjing's mysterious boyfriend.

Also, to our understanding, they had lived together for a long time.

Then, they broke up for some unknown reason.

But, a month ago, their contact became very frequent.

Were there any useful fingerprints?

Qi Jingjing's fingerprints were found on quite a few objects.

Let's go check the body and see what it will tell us.

Okay!

The corpse is still fresh. Could the murderer have just left?

No.

His time of death should be earlier than Qi Jingjing's.

But the corpse shows no signs of decomposition.

Can't you see this big livor mortis? (Livor mortis - as known as hypostasis, it's discoloration of the skin due to pooling of blood in the dependent part of the body following death.)

You were blocking it.

Then, how did you determine the time of death?

It's very simple. The victim was soaked in the tub to mislead us.

After he died, he was placed in cold water instead of hot water.

If he was soaked in hot water, the submerged skin would have turned into light reddish-brown

while the exposed skin would be pale. But there's no boundary line.

The culprit placed him in cold water and turned on the air conditioning.

That's why there wasn't any smell.

It also makes it difficult for us to determine the time of death.

How did you tell that his death was before Qi Jingjing's?

Qi Jingjing died no more than 32 hours ago.

As for him, it would take at least 36 hours to develop such severe livor mortis in this environment

The victim was probably strangled.

The tool used was a rope.

But, the pattern looks kind of strange.

The method was similar.

These two cases were probably done by the same culprit.

What is it?

Send the corpse to the autopsy room right away.

We have to examine the body quickly.

Okay.

I'll come over now.

You've been kicked out again?

It was a waste to change your clothes.

It's none of your business.

Yeah, none of my business.

Oh right!

I have a new clue. Would you like to join me?

I would like to.

I won't take you.

Hey, you jerk!

The male died first then the female.

You two were both strangled.

This was probably the culprit's customary method.

It's obvious that the culprit killed you and then

he filled the tub with cold water, then, placed the body in the tub.

So he could make it seem like you were attacked while taking a bath.

If you really died while taking a bath... it's already been two days.

Skin soaked in warm water from the constant temperature tub would have turned a light brownish pink.

But, the outer part should be pale.

Your body doesn't have the boundary line.

The mark from your neck showed that you were first strangled, then later suffocated.

But the murder weapon wasn't a rope

because there aren't any friction marks.

There isn't any fiber either.

It could be... It could be that stereo cable.

You seem like a man who could throw a few punches but you didn't fight back at all.

You were caught off-guard.

You were defenseless.

You looked down on the murderer.

He's not tall or strong.

If you were to take him on, he would be no match for you.

But he still took a great risk to kill you.

In terms of a man's pride, besides money... It would be...

You have a tattoo at the back of your waist. I got it.

If my assumptions were not wrong,

Your body should have the same mark at the same place.

But, it was washed off.

I can only say, you probably once loved Sun Kai.

You were once deeply in love but you had to give it up.

You just had your hymen reconstructed.

The time was probably a month ago. It's at the same time when the tattoo had been washed off.

What disappointed you so much?

Your hand has a mark of your current ring but he doesn't.

Maybe it was just wishful thinking on your part.

Maybe you were planning to marry him, but he was just playing with you.

Yet, you still kept this ring.

There's a fingerprint on your face. It's stained by lipstick.

Could it be from the killer?

The murderer tortured you.

After you died, he touched your face once again.

He stained his finger with your lipstick on your lips and left it on your cheek.

But he didn't rape you.

Did he think that he doesn't deserve to make love with you? Or...

he doesn't know much about sex?

Section Chief Qin.

Just now, we went to Sun Kai's parents' place to get some information.

They told us, Sun Kai and Qi Jingjing were in a romantic relationship

but they didn't like Qi Jingjing's family background.

They think that she wasn't suitable for their son, so they didn't support these two together.

Until half a month ago, Sun Kai suddenly mentioned he wanted to marry Qi Jingjing.

Sun's parents were really angry and threatened him with their lives.

Sun Kai had no choice but to break up with Qi Jingjing.

Are your parent's viewpoint that important?!

I already gave you my virginity! What else do you want?

Then, what do you want me to do?!

After Qi Jingjing broke up with Sun Kai,

She went on dating websites to make up her psychological imbalance.

But, one month ago, Sun Hai wanted to make up with Qi Jingjing.

But, his family still disagreed so he moved out.

We checked the credit transactions and discovered that in the past six months,

Qi Jingjing had been in contact with many people on the dating websites. She also participated in some offline events.

Have a look.

In the last six months, she constantly posted marriage-seeking ads.

The timeframe matches her break-up with Sun Kai.

She specially wrote that she was a virgin.

That's right. It's too strange.

Right now, who cares about this stuff?

Would that hymen guarantee a love that'll last forever? It's not a preservative.

Ironically, when I re-examined her, I found that she had her hymen reconstructed.

A reconstructed hymen?

Also, she specially placed herself as a virgin.

Could it be related to her online dating partner?

Please check all of her contacts on her online dating site immediately.

How many people has she met?

- Approximately, 100 people. - Whoa...

So many people.

How long will that take?

Oh my! Why did you come?

I wanted to talk to you about some virgin stuff.

Virgin stuff?

To be accurate, it's the culprit, virgin and the victim relationship.

Come in and talk about the case.

The reason I came is to hear your analysis of this case.

I thought you were not interested in crime motives.

But, this time, there are some things I really cannot understand.

I need your ideas.

Why would a woman reconstruct her hymen?

It's actually really easy. There's only one reason.

Because she's not a virgin.

So?

All choices draw on the advantages and not the disadvantages.

What's Qing Jingjing's benefit of doing this?

About this question, I cannot directly answer you.

But, I think the most important part of the case is

we need to search through her online dating process and to see what kind of men mentions about that requirement.

This is the reason why I came for you.

Being the only female with blind dating experiences around me,

when you were dating, did anyone mention about this requirement?

I think you should ask that yourself.

Being a loony yourself, are you going to set that requirement for your girlfriend?

What does this have to do with me?

Then, what does this to do with me?

Sergeant Lin, it's all here.

We finished filtering out the blind dates that met your requirements.

They had contact with Qi Jingjing and their heights are about 170 cm.

They are rich and required her to be a virgin.

There are about 23 people.

Although the range is small, the people are too dispersed.

With our current abilities, it's still going to be difficult to figure out.

At most, it will take up to 48 hours.

Do you still remember the knot when I asked you to cut it?

Cut the ropes.

Keep the knots and save them as evidence.

Yes, I do remember it. It was a very special knot.

The knot was used for climbing mountains.

What if we add "hiking" to the filter?

- Xiao Wei, search it. - Yes, Sergeant Lin.

Sergeant Lin, I found it.

Li Xu, male, 31 years old, 170 cm.

An outdoor supplies shop owner. He is financially stable.

His first requirement is a virgin.

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

- Hello. - Hello.

- Is your boss here? - Yes he is.

Is his name, Li Xu?

Li Xu is not the boss.

He's an employee in charge of rope equipment.

We have a few questions to ask Li Xu.

Why are you looking for him?

We are the police. Please cooperate with us.

Police? Li Xu's in trouble?

That's impossible. Li Xu is such an honest guy.

Yeah, I know.

There's a human life, please cooperate with us.

Human life?

Li Xu was killed by someone?

The case is still under investigation. We cannot give out any information.

Was there any abnormal behavior with Li Xu?

Not really. He's pretty normal.

A pretty boring person.

He is quite a weirdo.

What aspect do you mean?

That aspect.

Which aspect?

Oh... That aspect!

Tell us about it. How is he weird in that aspect?

For instance, on that day...

- Hey brother, I'll pour it for you. - Thanks!

We just don't get along in bed.

- We don't share the same sexual interests. - You just got one and you need another one!

I still have work to do tonight.

We went to the movies and I muscled up some courage and grabs her in my arms.

Well done!

Alright, alright!

Brother Li, tell us something about sister-in-law. (Sister-in-law refers to Li Xu's girlfriend.)

I heard that you guys are getting married. Tell us more.

There's nothing to say.

Come on, Brother! Sister-in-law is very pretty.

Brother, you're so lucky!

Can you not joke about this?

Hey! Let's quickly eat these.

We still have a lot more dishes coming.

You'll get sick from all that fooling around.

I wonder why Brother Li is so disciplined.

Actually, he's afraid of getting sick.

Don't you think it's dirty?

Do you know how many men slept with her?

The part that you touched, everyone touched it too.

What did she do with those lips that you kissed?

How can you be comfortable sleeping with such a woman?

It's just one time sex!

Without love, it's like urinating.

I would like that!

Buddies, come on!

We are just having a conversation.

At least, I found the world's purest love.

Come, come, to the purest love! Cheers!

Let's drink!

There's a reason for Li Xu's weirdness.

Say it.

I heard his mom cheated on his dad.

His mom had a boyfriend before getting married.

After giving birth to Li Xu, she ran off with that guy.

How can he not be that weird with a family like that?

Is that reliable information?

- It is. - We all know it.

Did you see his fiancee before?

- We saw them together once from far away before. - Yeah, I think so.

We only saw her side face.

Is this her?

I think so.

This lady is taller than him and has better qualities than him.

What does she see in him?

Could you show us to his section?

Yes, follow me.

This is our rope equipment section.

He works here.

How long has Li Xu been gone?

About five to six days?

Why isn't anyone reporting it?

He took his annual leave.

After his annual leave, no one came to buy ropes

so why would we look for him?

Hello, Qin Ming? We found identical knots at Li Xu's shop.

He might really be a suspect.

Hurry up and investigate his place.

I'm coming!

Son...

- Who are you? - We're police officers.

Police officers? What brings you here?

- Is this Li Xu's house? - It is.

Is he home right now? We need to ask him a few questions.

Can we come inside?

Yes, come in.

We need Li Xu's cooperation in an ongoing investigation.

Can we see his room?

Yes. It's this way.

Officers. What's the matter with my son?

Where is he?

Don't be anxious. We don't know where he is now either.

We are trying to contact him.

Can you tell me some basic details about your son?

My son is a good kid.

When his mother eloped, he was deeply traumatized.

He was often bullied as well.

He was often beaten up badly but he wouldn't tell me.

What could a child like that possibly do something wrong?

Pass me an evidence bag.

Mr. Police, what's going on with my son lately?

We think that your son was related to a murder incident.

Murder?

Oh right!

A few days ago, he rushed home and took 100,000 yuan.

It's been many days since I've seen him.

He--

Old Mister, what kind of person was Li Hua Xia?

This is Li Xu's late grandfather.

After Li Xu and Qi Jingjing met,

he was very proud of the fact that Qi Jingjing was a virgin.

In order to win over Qi Jingjing, he lied and said he was from a rich family.

We've checked Li Xu's expenses.

He bought a lot of luxury goods. They were all female products. Some were even engraved

with Qi Jingjing's name.

Then, this stuff will quickly go over his financial limit.

Actually, these threesome relationships were very difficult.

Half a month ago, Qi Jingjing was dating Sun Kai. But, his parents did not agree,

so that led to their break up.

After breaking up, in order to fill in the emptiness,

she went online dating and met Li Xu who pretended to be from a rich family.

Li Xu was happy about the fact that Qi Jingjing was a virgin that he spent all of his money on her.

But, after knowing Qi Jingjing virginity was a fake

and Qi Jingning was still in a relationship with Sun Kai,

the angered Li Xu killed both of them.

Sergeant Lin, the fingerprint examination is done.

- This fingerprint belongs to Li Xu. - Good.

I'll go and check the nearest small hotels.

Wait a second.

Can you check with the anti-pornography team first?

Why?

When a person knows he's going to die, he will probably finish things that he hasn't done before.

I'm giving you a bet.

If you find him, invite me for dinner.

See? He will definitely ask you to invite him for dinner.

This time, with our hard work, we found the culprit.

When this guy was having sex with a prostitute,

he suddenly went crazy. He started punching her.

We arrested him here. He haven't said anything.

We don't even know his name.

He's a strange person.

How long has he been locked?

We have locked him for three days.

After he came here, did he have any response?

When we questioned him, he said no women can be trusted.

He said that prostitutes polluted the whole environment

and started talking nonsense.

Tell Qin Ming we caught the culprit.

Say it.

Did you kill both Qi Jingjing and Sun Kai?

Okay, then I will tell you a story.

Before, there was a boy

who met a girl online.

This girl stated that she was a virgin.

The boy really liked her so he spent all of his money on her.

Then, he discovered that the girl lied to him.

She wasn't a virgin.

But, she made up with her ex-boyfriend.

This boy flew into a rage.

He killed the girl and her ex-boyfriend.

But, he forgot one thing.

Because he said that he was from the rich second generation,

the girl didn't even know that she spent all of this guy's money.

She didn't know that the boy didn't really love her for who she was.

He only loved her because she was a virgin.

He thought it was pure love but it was actually a pure body.

The phony wealthy guy was just the third party between this couple.

He's nothing but the third party who has lived in lies.

You guys are talking nonsense!

Bullshit! Who's the third person?

It's all nonsense!

Our love was pure.

Who is it?

Delivery service.

Do you have a pen?

Wait a second.

Darling, why aren't you answering the phone?

What are you doing here?

I don't want to see you.

Jingjing.

I already broke up with you.

Jingjing, listen to me.

I admit. I hurt you before.

I'm sorry.

It's good that you know.

From now on, let's go on our separate ways.

What are you doing now?

This is 100,000 yuan. (Around 15,801 USD)

It's for thanking you.

It's also an apology for my poor behavior.

Let's go out and have a walk again, okay?

Let's just say it's a good bye.

I promise you I won't bother you again.

You promise me.

This is one last time.

Okay. One last time.

Where did you kill Qi Jingjing?

This place is close to the big road. Why did you choose this place to kill?

I took out a knife and forced her to apologize to my ancestors.

I had an unclean fiancee.

But she showed no remorse at all.

I told her Sun Kai was dead. She didn't believe me.

When I took out the ring, she panicked.

She actually wanted to plea to me for leniency.

She wanted me to kill her.

How can that be?

How could I still want used goods?

Then, why did you stay with her last night?

Since you decided to kill her, why did you wait for this long?

I need to torment her.

The more she's in pain,

the happier I am.

I will ask you another question.

Was taking out her molar a way to torture her too?

I thought the relationship between Qi Jingjing and I were pure love.

But, one person told me

it's not.

Who was that person?

I don't know.

I never saw him before.

I didn't even know where he got my phone number from.

He just told me to wait at a place.

A pair of rings.

It's you who picked the rings.

- Of course. - If you don't like them, don't whine to me.

I won't.

It was her smile that pained me.

When Qi Jingjing was seeing me, she never smiled that happily.

Then, the person asked you to pull out Jingjing's tooth?

Yes.

It's reward.

I do things as I promised.

How was it? You never thought about it.

A person like me,

is actually a man of principle.

How did you get in contact?

I was told to pull off her molar and leave it next to the body.

We searched the crime scene for days but we didn't find the molar.

Even if he hadn't asked me to pull it, I would have done it anyway.

I hate that woman.

Not only am I going to pull out her teeth,

I want to drink her blood

and eat her flesh.

If you hated her so much, why did you set fireworks for her?

How did you know about that?

Your hands has burns from the fireworks.

We looked through her social media and we know she loves fireworks.

What are you doing now?

Don't you like fireworks?

Don't leave. Stay with me.

I really like you.

Li Xu.

If I wasn't a virgin,

would you still like me?

What do you mean?

When I met you, Sun Kai's parents didn't approve of us dating.

They thought that I was not good enough for Sun Kai.

That's why we broke up.

At that time, I wasn't a virgin.

But now, he chose to leave his parents and be with me.

I was only with you for your money.

That means

I was deceived.

I'm sorry.

I deceived you.

I actually lied to you too.

I'm not rich.

I'm not from a wealthy family.

I borrowed my car.

I spent every penny I had on you.

If you want, I could do anything for you.

Please don't leave me.

Since you can't provide me with the life I want

and you can't give me the love I want,

why would I choose to stay with you?

Please respect my decision.

Bring me home.

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

The victim is Tao Zi. She was a tabloid reporter.

There are many wounds on her abdomen but they aren't deep.

Pulmonary stenosis is enough to start up her heart disease and cause death.

But as a frequent participant of horror themed parties, it would be unlikely for her to been scared to death.

The bar owner had an argument with Tao Zi that night.

It was just a small disagreement.

Then is he hiding something from us?

Quick Rescue Heart medicine?

There is only fake blood used as props on the pill bottle and no real blood.

Meaning, she was already frightened by something before she was stabbed.

What exactly is Tao Zi scared of?

The night it happened, Tao Zi met one more person.

Who?

Exactly whose fingerprint is this?
