Qin Ming is currently privately re-investigating his father's case, who died after falling off a building 20 years ago.

Regarding the autopsy report of the falling off the building case of Qin Song 20 years ago...

It's impossible for the victim's blood chemical analysis to be normal.

Based on the narration of the witnesses,

the victim then drank alcohol, complained of dizziness and vomited.

Which Lao Luo are you talking about?

Your Uncle Luo, Luo Yao.

The serial killer has grown impatient and came to see you now.

He's using your father's death to catch your attention.

This means that he is a person with very traditional values.

Who are you covering up? Luo Yao?

He was my husband that time.

Isn't he my father's friend? Why did he do this?!

Where can I find him?

He's still not answering.

We have no more time. Let's go to the crime scene first.

But this is really weird. Usually, Lao Qin would always answer calls when there is a case.

Let me call him again.

- Let's just survey the scene first. - Let's go.

Has the victim been confirmed to be the owner of the house?

That's right. The victim's name is Luo Yao, 57 years old.

He's a professor of the psychology department at the medical university.

He initially was a clinician, but later on, he specialized in psychology.

Who reported the crime?

A neighbor noticed that the door wasn't closed, so he came over to remind the owner.

When he came in, he found the victim dead and immediately reported the crime.

Based on the situation of the entrance, the door lock doesn't show any signs of forced entry.

Currently, our deduction is that he knew the perpetrator.

There are no signs that anyone went through the stuff in the 2nd floor and there seems to be no signs of robbery.

He bled a lot. A person only has 4 to 5 liters of blood.

He has bled at least a liter.

This means that the victim's main aorta or an internal organ might have been punctured.

The body is lying on its side. The side of the heart is facing the ground.

Take photos of the blood and map out the area.

- Help me turn him over. - Sure.

Very weird. The majority of the surface of the corpse is stained with blood,

but I can't find any huge wound.

How could a person without a huge wound bleed so much like this.

You mean that the murder weapon is very special?

It's possible. But we still can't make such a conclusion.

Did you find the murder weapon here in the crime scene or the surrounding area?

Still none. There's one thing that I find weird.

It's clear that some fighting happened here.

But other than the victim's, we're unable to find

other people's fingerprint or handprint.

That is indeed weird. There are so many blood splatters, blood drops, and a pool of blood.

But I indeed didn't see any blood stained shoe print.

The killer didn't leave behind any obvious evidence.

This means that he has a very strong counter reconnaissance ability.

Do you have other findings?

- For the rest, we have to wait after the autopsy. - Okay.

- I'll let them deliver the corpse to you as soon as possible. - Okay.

Sergeant Lin, someone's looking for you out here!

Around 7 to 8 pm, I was going home alone.

It was raining hard. I saw a man who didn't bring any umbrella

that barged towards here. He even scared me.

Do you still remember how he looked like?

I remember.

He was wearing a black trench coat and his hear is brushed up.

Do you have any impression of his face?

I do.

He has single eyelids and a high nose bridge.

Oh, right. He has a mole on his nose.

Based on what I know, Qin Ming is privately re-investigating his father's case, who died after falling off a building 20 years ago.

He has no other friends apart from us. Where could he be at such a time?

Could Qin Ming be in trouble?

How about this, Sergeant Lin. I'll immediately go back now to make a sketch.

Hold on!

Is it him?

Right. Right. That's right. It's him.

Are you sure?

I am sure.

Because that time, it was dark. I used a flashlight to look at his face. That is indeed him.

Oh, my god! It's late at night, raining hard, and you don't even know to use an umbrella. You scared me.

So sorry.

Is he a cop?

Xiao Hei, go take her to make a testimony.

Come with me. Come.

Autopsy room.

When I was interrogating the on-lookers,

there was a witness that claimed to have seen Qin Ming.

Qin Ming?

He was seen around three hours ago.

Can you confirm it?

The witness accurately described Qin Ming's facial features

and she identified his photo.

He still isn't answering.

So, based on what the witness said,

Qin Ming might have appeared at the vicinity of the crime scene.

But that can only prove that he went to the vicinity of the crime scene but not necessarily the main crime scene.

I've checked Luo Yao's social connections.

First, he is Qin Ming's adviser.

Second, he is a classmate of Qin Ming's father.

Say, isn't that too coincidental?

Do you believe that Lao Qin is the criminal?

I don't believe it.

Me, either.

Let's do the autopsy first.

His cornea is clear.

His lower jaw and the joints of his fingers are showing signs of rigor mortis.

As for the other parts, rigor mortis is still not obvious.

Based on the body temperature, the time of death is around two to three hours before.

This is quite weird. His whole body was covered in blood but we can't find any wound.

There is a wound.

The fatal wound of the victim is at the left side of the sternum, between the 3rd and 4th ribs.

There is a very small puncture wound.

This puncture wound must have been formed after the puncturing object entered the body.

For the other parts of the body, there were no obvious wound.

The four limbs, neck, and the nasolabial area

showed no obvious signs of getting restrained or getting smothered.

I'll start the autopsy now.

In the left ventricle, there is a small break.

The break in the pericardium is way larger than that on the ventricle.

I suspect that it was formed when the murder weapon was being withdrawn after stabbing it.

That's why the blood didn't get trapped by the pericardium and didn't cause any pericardial tamponade.

My initial assessment is the massive hemorrhage caused his death.

The wound is deep, but the degree of the break isn't that huge.

It means that the murder weapon is very sharp.

Based on the shape of the wound opening, it's one side sharp, one side blunt.

It should be a one-edge sharp blade. For it to be able to stab the heart,

its length is around 10 centimeters.

Why would the killer use such a small weapon?

We still can't make a conclusion about that. But the murderer knows human anatomy very well.

He is very careful and confident.

Based on the method of killing...

What is it?

Based on the method of killing,

he probably majored in medicine.

The fatal wound of the victim is on his chest.

When the skin wound on the chest started to clot, you can see signs of breakage on the corner.

What is the special thing about this breakage. What can it suggests?

It means that the blade part isn't long. Hence, the handle also went into the body.

It might be a weapon with a narrow blade.

The blade indeed is very narrow.

And the handle is longer than your usual fruit knife.

Are you sure?

I still can't be sure now. I must do further tests before I can be sure of it.

Hello.

Okay. I'll immediately go there.

The special investigation team is looking for me. Call me once you've determined what weapon was used to stab him.

Okay.

Thanks.

No. 24.

An autopsy blade?

The victim is Luo Yao, 56 years old, single and lived alone.

Based on the initial report of the forensic pathologist,

he got killed between 8 to 9 pm.

Tell me the situation in the crime scene.

We didn't find any fingerprint or shoe print of the murderer on the crime scene.

We also didn't find the murder weapon.

It means that this perpetrator has very strong counter reconnaissance skills.

As for the murder weapons, we've now confirmed it to be

an autopsy knife.

Also, based on the claims and identification of the witness,

the one with the greatest suspicion is Section Chief Qin of the medical examination section.

Based on our investigation,

Qin Ming's father Qin Song died form falling off a building 20 years ago.

And the autopsy report then signed it out as suicide. Qin Ming doubts this.

He feels that his father was murdered.

And the murderer might be Luo Yao.

Does he have an alibi?

Based on our current investigation,

he doesn't.

We have the reason to suspect that this is a murder for revenge.

But from the aspects of the medical examiner, there are still a lot of points that can't be explained.

If the killer has strong counter reconnaissance skills,

it's also possible that he's using our investigation method to frame up Qin Ming.

I can understand that as Qin Ming's colleague, you have affection towards him.

You have the desire to defend him. I understand them all.

But currently, since all the suspicion is getting focused on him,

we then can't let go of this suspicion.

Based on the murder weapon, if this was done by Qin Ming,

he totally can choose a more common murder weapon to hide his identity.

Using a more special murder weapon will only expose the identity of a murderer. This is a common sense.

As a medical examiner, especially one like Qin Ming, how could he have neglected this?

In theory, that is the case. But we can't disregard all the evidences.

First, Qin Ming has a motive to commit the crime.

There was a witness that can confirm he appeared in the vicinity of the crime during the time of the murder.

The murder weapon is an autopsy knife.

I am sorry to say that, but he's the top suspect for this case.

Let me remind everyone.

As a cop,

we can't let our feelings affect our judgment.

Director General Tan, I've been working with Lao Qin for a long time.

It's impossible to say that there are no affection at all.

But right now, I'm just giving my analysis as a medical examiner. Regardless who the suspect is,

I would say the same.

Comrade Li Dabao,

I understand what you're feeling.

But your colleague is involved in this case.

You do know the rule that interested parties should avoid the processing of the case, right?

Go back home and rest for several days.

Leave the duty to serve the warrant of arrest to Squad 2.

Dismiss.

Do you believe in Qin Ming?

I believe in him.

I know that all these evidences are unacceptable to you.

But you also know very well that whether it's a medical examiner or a police detective,

we make our conclusion based on the facts.

That's why, the more we believe in Qin Ming,

the more we should investigate the truth. Right?

Right.

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

Qin Ming, please come with us.

Qin Ming, please cooperate with us.

If you don't cooperate, we can only use force in executing the warrant.

Take him away.

Search for evidences!

I found something.

Evidence bag!

You said that someone knocked you out before you were able to see Luo Yao, is that right?

You've asked me three times.

But you still haven't given me a logical explanation.

Qin Ming,

if you don't tell me the truth, I won't be able to help you.

Every words I said are true.

Why did you suddenly go to see him?

I received a report written by my father.

Are you suspecting that your father's death

is connected with Luo Yao?

Not suspecting. I've confirmed it.

That's why, you killed him.

You asked it again.

How do you explain the molars then?

We found this in your house.

After testing, we've confirmed that these are human molars.

Also, it's not just the molar of one person.

A part of it was found

to be completely compatible with the DNA of victims

in our files. How do you explain this?

This is not mine.

How can you prove that this is not yours?

Qin Ming,

with your skills, killing someone without leaving any clues

is not a hard thing, right?

This doesn't look like a sudden murder. The killer must have schemed it for a long time.

This scene now is the result he wanted to see.

From the start, he used my father's case to attract me to start investigating

until he killed Luo Yao and left the molar necklace.

All these actions are to target me.

Okay.

Let us assume that you indeed discovered and verified

that Luo Yao is the person who killed your father. Why then did you not report it immediately

and acted on your own? What were you planning to do?

Qin Ming, think about it well.

Whether there is really someone who is framing you,

you are sitting here now for a reason.

In this current situation,

you can only actively cooperate with the investigation.

Director General Tan.

I already let others take charge of Luo Yao's case.

But Luo Yao's initial investigation was done by me. I should be the one in-charge of this case until the end.

Also, Director General Tan, I surely will do my best.

This has nothing to do with you doing your best or not.

Qin Ming is currently the suspect of this case, hence, you must withdraw from it.

Don't worry. If he is wronged,

whoever takes over this case will prove him innocent.

I know. But...

This matter has been decided upon during the meeting. Your objection won't work.

Dabao,

it's better that you just go home and rest for a few more days.

Even if everyone is suspecting Qin Ming now, it can't remove the doubts in my heart.

Qin Ming has really met his match.

I found a leaf with blood in Luo Yao's house. It must be immediately sent for testing.

The DNA on the blood is completely compatible with Qin Ming.

How is that possible?

We've confirmed the suspect in this case. Immediately arrest Qin Ming who was under surveillance.

Admit your crime. It will be better for you.
