[Multicom jingle]

[music easy tempo]

[dramatic music sting]

[gags]

Mei.

Stop gagging.

Go wait outside.

No way.

I promised
the head of the academy

that I would look after you.

Look after me?

You? Save it.

Move, move!

We're working here.

Don't come in here.

Seriously.

Stop undermining me.

[gagging]

[Zhou]
This is the color of skin when
the blood is drained.

Who are you?

Who let you in?

You are detective Xing?

Yes.

This is my referral letter.

You're at the wrong place.

I'm no longer in
charge of that case.

Why?

It's disturbing.

Mei. Mei.

Where the hell are you?

Did you really leave?

[man]
Welcome!

Allow me to introduce you.

This is senior
detective Zhou Minsheng.

The precinct has assigned him

to help us investigate last
year's prostitute murder case.

I'm no expert.

Wait, what?

I told you
I'm not taking that case.

Have I approved that?

Who are you to choose cases?

You have to take the case.

That's right, you brat.

You are so arrogant.

The precinct is transferring you
to another department.

Don't come back.

All right.

Let's continue our meeting.

Case 1-5, victim Cheng Xiao.

Lead waitress at
Liangxin Restaurant.

All right.

I have to take this case, right?

It was my case.

I was responsible.

It's all my fault.

If I didn't ask my sister
for the money...

What kind of cram school
costs 50K?

Mobile app development.

I thought you were
a fine arts major.

Why do you study APP now?

It's not me.

It's my boyfriend Liu Yang.

Look at that shadow.

You scared me.

-What shadow?
-Look, look.

There's a man

staring in that direction.

You were saying

last night you were
at the dorm,

your boyfriend
never showed up,

and you ended up not going
to your sister's.

I couldn't reach Yang.

I thought he was stopping by,
so I stayed in.

And I didn't call my sister.

When was the last time
you talked to him?

I don't know where he is.

It's been a few days.

He disappeared.

[Min]
Surveillance camera shows,

on the night of the murder,

there were four suspects
near Cheng Xiao's apartment.

Taxi driver, Ke Zhenghua,

male, 40 years old,

drove Cheng Xiao home
at 10:13 p.m.

He left immediately.

There was a man
accompanying her--

Body type: overweight.

Height: 175cm.

He walked out of the
building at 10:45 p.m.,

deliberately avoiding
the surveillance camera.

The third suspect
is a man wearing a black shirt.

He looks relatively small.

He arrives at 11:00 p.m.

There's no image showing
when he left the building.

The fourth suspect--

according to the victim's
sister, Cheng Yao,

this man
is Cheng Yao's boyfriend.

Liu Yang, 23 years old.

He entered the building
at midnight.

Left at around 1:00 a.m.

He left in panic.

Cheng Yao and Liu Yang planned
to pick up the 50,000 yuan
from the victim,

but Liu Yang didn't show up.

Instead, he showed up alone

in the middle of the night.

We have reason to believe
that Liu Yang--

Captain! Captain!

There's a bloody man here
to confess.

Who are you, Batman?
You watch too many movies.

Batman is here to confess...

The sun has set, Batman.

[whimpering]

Liu Yang,

we have a policy here.

We respect anyone who confesses.

Since you are here,

tell us your side of the story.

If you cooperate with us,
we will be lenient towards you.

I didn't kill her.

Then why are you here
to confess?

Blood.

Blood.

I didn't kill her!

What's happened to him?

Hold him.

Hold him down!

Did you check the blood on him?

I did.

Indeed...

it's Cheng Xiao's blood.

Really?

Case solved?

I didn't kill her.
I didn't kill her!

Hurry up and get
the tranquilizer!

I didn't kill her!

[screams, gasping]

It's very obvious.

It's manic depressive psychosis.

We still need to confirm
the cause after
some examinations.

Is there a medical condition
for his symptoms?

Of course. It's known as
Renfield's Syndrome.

The sight of blood excites him.

Really?

Terrifying.

All right, you stay here.

I will go back
to finish the report.

You can't leave me here.

I'll go crazy.

Then go crazy.

I can stay with him.

Feeling better?

Let's have a chat then.

I'm afraid.

What are you afraid of?

You didn't kill her.

You believe me?

I didn't kill her.

Trust me!

I didn't kill her.

I know, I know.

When you got there,

she was already dead.

Yes.

Blood.

On the white sheet.

There's a red dress.

The color of blood.

Once I saw the dress,

It turned me on.

[gasps]

[whimpering]

[screams]

Stop it. I'm not hungry.

You still have to eat something.

You haven't eaten
the whole day.

You can't go to sleep
without eating.

You think we still have
time to sleep?

No sleep?

If I don't sleep...

Are you a human?

All you think about
is food and sleep.

Worry about your own life.

Looking after you
is my only worry.

I promised your father.

I'll make sure
you marry a good person.

As your dear friend, I...

will fulfill this wish.

I have you.

Why do I need to get married?

Hush!

Don't let my girlfriend
hear that.

Again?

You're quite efficient.

Efficient?

I'm not that efficient.

Lao Zhou.

Where's the captain?

You can't just talk to the boss.

We're here, you can talk to us.

I'm not looking
for the captain, I'm...

[Min]
Mister...

I told you

I'm in charge of this case.

The captain is busy.

If you have more details,
you can tell me.

He can't handle all the details.

Cheng Xiao
is a prostitute.

[Shuo chokes]

No way!

Did Liu Yang tell
you that?

Cheng Yao
didn't tell the truth.

What?

Are you going to avenge her?

Sit down.

It's nothing to be proud of.

She didn't want to bring it up.

When we solve cases,

we have to put ourselves
in their shoes.

But she withheld
important information.

It hindered the investigation.

When Liu Yang went
to Cheng Xiao's apartment,

the door was slightly open.

He walked in
and saw a red dress.

[switch clicks]

[flashlight clicks]

[eerie music]

[grunting]

-Lao Zhou--
-Shh.

[door creaks]

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

[Min coughing]

Are you okay?

You...

You're leaving?

It's not him.

You...

Get up!

Sorry, sorry, officer.

I won't do it again.

Run, aren't you a good runner?

It's a misunderstanding,
sister.

Tell us why you ran.

I thought I saw ghost.

So you knew Cheng Xiao
was murdered.

Of course I knew.
I live right next door.

Everyone's talking about it.

Why would you be afraid
of a ghost?

To be honest,

I took some drugs
before you brought me in.

Everything's a blur.

You appeared out of nowhere.

I thought I saw her.

How could I not run?

So tell me...

were you her client?

[laughs]

We were neighbors,

we looked after each other.

There's nothing wrong with that.

You have no shame!

[Zhou grunting]

I'm old now.

I'm not as energetic
as you young kids.

Is this case
that important to you?

You get capricious with old age.

[chuckles]

You shouldn't waste
your time anymore.

This case has nothing to do
with your murderer.

Don't rush to conclusions.

See for yourself.

He is not the murderer.

You can see this case is not
about your serial killer either.

Was he there for the money?

On the night of the murder,

he went to Cheng Xiao's
for sex.

He entered through a hole
in the balcony.

He saw Cheng Xiao hide the money
in the closet.

Cheng Xiao's restaurant
reported

50,000 yuan went missing.

The bills were all new,

all numbered.

That's right, Mei.

Follow me.

Where to?

To the murder site.

Nope.

We've searched
through this place.

There's no money.

No way,
I saw it with my own eyes.

No one else was
in the room.

Are you sure?

It must be him.

[knock on door]

Who is it?

I came back right after
I saw her hide the money.

I was going to take it
as soon as she left.

[knocking]

Are you stupid?

Can you talk?

Hey!

Sorry, wrong door.

Sorry!

[scoffs]

[doctor]
This is a special case.

When there's no blood,

he's perfectly normal,

and he's very smart.

Can I talk to him again?

[video game sounds]

[Zhou]
I see you're doing better
without the medication.

Look at how normal you look.

Then release me.

Why am I still here?

Are you sure
you're fine now?

-It doesn't matter.
-Okay.

They will come and take you
to the police station.

Where?

Police station.

You haven't confessed
everything.

I've told you everything.
What more do you want?

Cheng Xiao wanted
to give you 50,000 yuan.

Where is the money?

Let me explain.

Cheng Yao and I
were going to take the money,

but around 10:00 p.m.

Cheng Xiao texted me.

thought she wanted to see me.

So I went alone.

I didn't know about the money,
I didn't take it.

I didn't know what
I was getting myself into.

There's more to it.

What more do you want?

I've told you everything I know.

I swear,
I'm telling you the truth.

You don't believe in anything.

I can't trust you.

How can I make you understand?

I'm done!

Why can't you understand?

I have a headache.

Doctor, I have a headache.

-Are you done talking?
-I'm done!

You'll have to stay here
longer then.

Stop! Stop!

Wait.

If I help you catch
the murderer,

will you let me go?

According
to forensic reports,

Cheng Xiao's time of death
was around 12:00 a.m.

At 5:45 p.m. in the afternoon

Li Tianxiao sees
Cheng Xiao hiding
money in the closet.

At 10:13 p.m. in the evening,

Ke Zhenghua, the taxi driver,
takes Cheng and a man home.

At 10:45 p.m. in the evening,

an unidentified man leaves.

Around 11:00 p.m.,

a man with a baseball cap
knocks on Li's door.

There are only two households
in this basement.

So we can assume

the man in the black suit
was looking for Cheng Xiao.

Do you think it's the same man?

Yes, I think he
is the murderer.

Money is the motive.

How did he do it?

According to the restaurant
owner's statement,

we know

in order to pay
for her sister's tuition,

Cheng Xiao stole money
from the restaurant

and hid it in her home.

Her neighbor, Li Tianxiao,
tried to steal it,

he didn't expect an intruder.

The man in the black suit
was there for the money.

He killed her
and took the money.

I have notified the bank.

Once the bills are located,

they will notify us.

Tell me

when did the man wearing
the black suit leave?

There was an alley

in the back of the building
without a surveillance camera.

There is another
escape route.

Isn't it too soon
to draw conclusions?

Boss,

we've found the money.

Captain,

I request permission to arrest.

What's your problem?

I'll sue you!

Don't waste my time.

Give me my bag.

I have to go home and cook
for my husband.

You still have to explain
where the money came from.

That's our money.

My husband's salary.

We worked hard for it.

We can prove

the money has something
to do with a murder case.

-Please cooperate.
-I need to see a lawyer.

I have the right
to remain silent.

My heart...

I'm having a heart attack.

Mei, call forensics.

He just examined a body

with a bottle of medicine
in his pocket.

Our auntie needs it.

I don't need it.

Just call my husband, Gao.

General Gao, please,
drink some tea.

Don't you know how to knock?

Ruthless.

Forget it.

Let's figure things out.

I still have
a meeting to go to.

Come back.

Meet General Gao
from the Finance Department.

Good afternoon.

This is the girl
who arrested my wife?

We're only inquiring...

Are you done?

Can we go now?

I'm afraid not.

Are we in some kind of trouble?

Big trouble

according to Criminal Law.

Your wife is involved
in a homicide case.

If she still refuses
to cooperate,

we will make her.

Homicide?

[chuckles]

This is a joke!

My wife wouldn't even
kill a fish.

Case 15, victim,
Cheng Xiao, hides 50 grand
in her home,

but we did not find the money.

Coincidentally, your wife

showed up at the bank
with this money.

General, since you are here,

I would like you to help us
with our investigation.

Can you confirm...

he was the one in the taxi?

Positive.

They were in the backseat.

It's obvious what was going on.

Great! Thank you.

No problem.

It's our obligation to help.

May I go now?

Yes.

Let me know
if you need me.

No problem.

I met her at the restaurant.

She seemed sincere
and hard working.

We became acquainted.

Last month
she asked to borrow money.

I thought a woman
would never do that,

unless she was desperate,
so I lent her the money.

That night she told me
she wanted to give
the money back.

I didn't know she was stealing.

It's hard to trust people.

What time did you leave?

It was...

around 10:30 p.m.
I don't remember.

It was before 11:00 p.m.

There was an emergency meeting
that night.

I arrived at 11:00 p.m.

I was almost late.

Where did you last see her?

Where else?

Near her restaurant, of course.

I told you I hardly knew her.

It's not what you think.

What are we thinking?

How dare you
ask me such a thing?
What are you implying?

Where's your captain?
Ask him to come here!

This is ridiculous!

Are you trying to extort me?

Do I look like a criminal?

I didn't say you
are a criminal.

You know what you've done!

Insolent!

How dare you disrespect
a national leader!

I will sue you
for slandering!

You will pay for this.

Yes, I am responsible
for what I say.

Every word.

Are you okay going home alone?

I can send a car for you.

I'm okay.

I just want to be alone.

Don't dwell on things.

Nothing is clear.

He... I already knew
what was going on.

What are you doing here?

Are you divorcing my mother?

Daughter,
it's not what you think.

You...

it's been so many years.

It's the same excuse.

[muffled shouting]

If we screw up this time,

it'll be over for our team.

How did he get in there?

Something's about to happen.

I wasn't expecting it.

Cheng Xiao
was such a good girl.

She returned the 50,000 yuan
to me.

Did you meet
her to get the money?

I didn't know she wanted
to return the money.

I truly liked her.

I knew it was wrong.

I wanted to break up with her.

That night I went to meet her

to say goodbye.

I gave her a red dress.

Chanel limited edition.

You gave her the red dress?

Yes, I wanted to--

You wanted her to be wearing it
when she died

so you could feel better
about yourself.

No, I could never
do such things.

This is your phone.

"It's been done."

General, can you explain?

I texted him.

I canceled the trade!

This has nothing to do
with me.

-Nothing!
-General Gao,

you are charged with hiring
a hit man.

The man you hired
brutally killed Cheng Xiao.

Lao Zhou,

I respect you
because you are my elder,

but you have no loyalty
to the team.

White cat, black cat.

Whoever catches
the rat is the good cat.

Where did you get his phone?

His wife gave me.

How did you retrieve
the text message?

Liu Yang,
my expert from the hospital.

Can you explain

why Cheng Xiao hid the money

before she returned it to Gao?

That information...

doesn't concern me.

What do you mean? You--

It's not my case.

I... You...

Just be prepare
to catch the murderer.

I have to go now.

You're leaving?

This time...

I'm wrong.

Girl, you've got this.

[lite intense music]

Our target is here.

Police! Freeze!

What are you doing?

Don't move!

What's wrong with you?

Boss, is this
the right person?

[radio crackles]

Here!

[dramatic chase music]

[woman screams]

[woman]
Please go
through security check.

Please go
through security check.

Where are you going?

Please go
through security check.

I'm going through it.

-What's inside?
-You're breaking the law.

-You have no right
to go through my things.
-Give that to me.

You have no right
to go through my things.

[woman gasps]

Take a look.

Her blood was indeed drained.

The ground is soiled with blood.

Water is drained too.

Look at her stomach.

I can tell

she hasn't eaten in days.

Boss, look at her nails.

She's probably a prostitute.

Go run a search.

How do I do that?

Look at her face.

It's all rotten.

Chen, you're new.

This is your chance.

Do your best.

If I had followed
up on the case,

we would have caught
this devil.

I can give you a ride.

Just take me
to the train station.

Did you catch the murderer?

It's not him.

What?

Impossible.

Don't bring it up.

I don't want to talk
about it.

[cell phone vibrating]

Hello?

What's going on?

Another red dress.

Forensics just confirmed...

both bodies were drained
of their blood.

[phone ringing]

He's not here.
He's at the site.

Wrong number.

This is not a hotel.

[hangs up phone]

You're taking calls now?

Everyone's at the site.

Didn't you leave?
Why are you back?

I heard Xing Min's case
didn't close?

I don't want to talk about it.
We caught a guy,

but he turned out
to be a fraud.

You can't trust the Internet.

You could end up
hiring a hoodlum.

Where is he?

Locked up.

Look. Our experienced detectives
would know it right away.

It's not him.

Younger people lack experience.

But he's been to the site.

Yes, indeed.

He's so dumb
he knocked on the wrong door.

Li Tianxiao
opened the door.

He got scared
and ran to the roof.

He didn't come down
until next morning.

When he made it down,
he heard about
Cheng Xiao's death.

He wanted the money
he was promised.

So he texted Gao
and said he did it.

Isn't it misleading?

General Gao is a retard too.

If he was smart,

he wouldn't have hire a hitman
from online.

Lao Zhou, are you...

Maybe...

You're going to be glad
that I'm here.

Did you see
the guy we caught?

Yes. It's not him.

Lao Zhou,
I shouldn't be asking this...

15 years ago...

You want to ask

about my mistakes?

Min didn't mean it that way.

She just wants to know.

The precinct
has lots of resources.

How come the murderer
still fled?

It was my fault.

The female corpse
we found was rotted.

There were not enough leads.

I had a couple of important
cases about to close.

I didn't take it seriously.

I put an intern on it.

I never knew,
but a week later,

in a destroyed building,

another corpse
with the same traits was found.

The victim was
a dancer from the city.

She occasionally
sold her body.

[man sobbing]

I've never forgotten

the look on
her father's face

when he went
to identify the body.

The precinct made the decided

to combine these cases.

I came back to find
the intern.

He told me there was a witness,

a villager who found the body.

I went to the village
to meet him.

But instead,
I witnessed his funeral.

He had drowned in the pond
the day before.

It's fate.

I let him go once.

He'll keep coming back
again and again.

If I would have treated
these people

as normal victims,

instead of giving up
on the investigation,

when I realized
what their occupation was,

I could have saved them.

Those women sell their bodies,

and ruin other's families.

You're not wrong.
Neither am I.

If you think that way,
you won't solve the case.

Think like what?

I don't need you to
tell me what to think.

Lao Zhou, you don't know Min.

We're talking
about human lives.

You young people
can't be impulsive.

You know what your problem is?

Your problem is that

you never treat them
like real people.

You think they deserve to die.

Lao Zhou, you can't--

Don't argue with him.

He's the expert.
We're not like him.

It's not like we can go around
choosing cases as we please.

I'll say it once more.

I'm not an expert.

I'm just an old cop

who is spending his life
making up for his mistakes!

Doesn't that sound nice?

Making up for your mistakes?

Let me tell you.

In my opinion,

you are wasting your time
and your life.

Then that is my karma!

You know what, Xing Min?

With that mindset,

you may as well be the murderer.

You're behaving like
the murderer.

You might as well kill!

[Min] We've sent a memorandum.
We need help with
the investigation.

We've also contacted
the Missing Persons Department.

Since the case I took
a month ago is being brought up,

I'd like to disclose
more information.

Victim, Guo Lili--

found dead at the park, near
Foreign Language University,

her blood was drained.

A red dress was found
at the scene.

According to her classmate,

Guo Lili's family was poor.

She took a few jobs
after school.

She dropped out of school
and was often seen
in erotic bars.

After those places
were closed down,

she disappeared.

Although we can't identify
these two new victims,

it's the same traits,
blood was drained,
red dress, black stockings,

and the knots, we can see

these three cases are similar

to the prostitute case
from 15 years ago.

We can confirm

it's the serial killer
from 15 years ago.

He is in our city.

This is the first victim
from 15 years ago.

We still can't confirm
her identity.

I've carried her remains
everywhere I go.

Maybe it's fate.

The devil has shown up
here again.

I'm retiring next month.

I hope this case that's been
with me for 15 years

comes to a close
before I retire.

Everyone,

I'm entrusting you
with this case.

ZHEN ZHEN FOOT MASSAGE

[chattering]

Brother, I'm not kidding.

These young girls look
for jobs online now.

They go to bars and clubs
looking for work.

They don't really
come here anymore.

Last month I hired
a couple of young girls.

They didn't take
the job seriously.

They worked here for a while.
One day they got in a taxi
and never came back.

I don't remember their names.

They never showed up after?

Not at all.

They never gave me
my portion of the money.

There are rules in our industry.
I'm supposed to get a portion
of the money.

It's so ridiculous.

Are these the two girls?

Maybe. That's her!

Her looks were all right,
but she was a sweet talker.

When was the last time
you saw them?

Beginning of autumn,

I told her to put on a jacket.

The weather was cold.

She wore an off-the-shoulder
red dress.

She cared about money
more than her life.

So she came here first
and then left?

That's right.

She was here first,
then got in a cab and left.

[car horns honking]

Boss, all the rooms are full.

Where should we put him?

Is he the one?

Yes, he drove Cheng Xiao home.

[Zhou]
You are Mr. Ke Zhenghua.

-They brought you here, too.
-It's fine.

It's my obligation
to cooperate with the police.

Yes.

Officer.

I have a favor to ask.

Of course, please.

It looks like I'm going to be
here for a while.

I have a sick person to care for
at home.

[Zhou]
A sick person at home?

[Ke]
It's nothing serious,

but with this weather,
I'm afraid it'll rain

and I left my windows open.

[Zhou]
How about

you go home now,
close your windows
and come back?

I can't do that.
There's a lot of people
waiting to be questioned.

I don't want to cause
an inconvenience. Maybe...

can you find an officer
to go in my place?

[mutters, stammers]

I can go.

Thank you very much.

Sorry, I know
it's an inconvenience.

Just help me close
the windows.

Don't worry
about the other stuff.

Thank you.

Okay.

Problem solved.

Which room?

[thunder rumbles]

[gasps]

[cell phone vibrating]

-Hello.
-The captain says

to take your team
to the west side immediately.

There may be clues
at a massage parlor.

They're almost there.

Okay.

Ma'am.

If there's nothing else,
I'll leave now.

[men chattering on radio]

[man]
Terminal three.

Someone's calling for a taxi
at the airport.
I don't want to answer.

I went last night,
and only got 200 yuan.

to not go out alone at night.

What's there to warn them about?

Those who go out at night

[grunts]

Lao Zhou,

what are you doing?

Nothing.

Helping you organize
the files.

Damn.

I used to take care of one...

Now I take care of two.

You don't need
to take care of us.

You have a job to do.

What job?

They've got everybody here.

We can only organize
files here.

What?

They're all here?

Those taxi drivers are here,

they are cooperating,
not being interrogated.

Without evidence,

they are wasting their time.

Useless bastards!

Why are you arresting me?

Do you have proof?
Show me.

We are not arresting you.
We need you to cooperate.

I can cooperate...
or not, right?

It's your duty as a law abiding
citizen to cooperate
with the police.

Read me my rights.

I know my rights.

Explain! Where did you
park your car?

On the roadside.

And then?

I put my arm around a beauty.

What beauty?

The fairy under the umbrella.

What on earth
are you talking about?

What fairy?

Tell me!

Who were you with?

I'll take this one.

What? You're not in charge--

You know why
we brought you here?

Yes.

To cooperate.

I've been here twice.

You can ask me anything.

-You used to live elsewhere?
-Yes.

After middle school,
I became a long-haul truck
driver in my hometown.

Why did you move here?

[mutters]

I've been with my wife
for over ten years.
She's had a hard life.

I want her to rest
where she was born.
That's not illegal, right?

You drive every night,

and you always go
to those streets.

Can you explain?

There's something
you don't know.

I make more money
driving at night.

Those areas are busy at night.

I need to make money
for my sick wife. Is that okay?

Of course.
Then let's change the topic.

-[speaks Chinese]
-Your wife has been sick.

Over the years,
how do you deal
with your physical needs?

[chuckles]

That question
is a little personal.

You drive prostitutes at night
to satisfy your desires.

Those are harsh words.

You have sex with them,
then you kill them.

[chuckles softly]

Detective Xing,
they're whores, right?

How dirty!

If you were me,
would you want anything
to do with them?

-[door opens]
-Detective.

What are you doing?
What's going on?

I'm sorry, Mr. Ke.
She's not in charge
of this case anymore.

Please take a break. You'll be
speaking to someone else.

But we still need your help
on the investigation.

But when are you--
When are you going to finish?

You rushed me here.

I didn't have a chance
to give my wife her medication.

It's been a few hours.

I have to go help her.

I didn't know you had
a sick person at home.

Don't be so quick to judge,
Xing Min.

Go help him.

I'm not going.

Mr. Ke, if it's okay,
I can go with Xing Min.

You two can go together.

Mr. Ke, please stay
a little longer.

No problem. I will.

Thanks, you two.

What does she need?
We'll help.

Nothing special.
There are nutrition bags
in the refrigerator.

Just refill the bag.

No problem.

Also, Detective Xing,

it's kind of embarrassing,
but my wife is on her period.

Can you change her pad?
It's probably soiled
with pee and blood.

I'm concerned
she'll catch an infection.

[door opens]

Look.

This is a kind of clay.
Where is it from?

I'm not surprised.
When I was little,
in art class,

we would dig this up
in the yard.

It's so clean.

Even in the refrigerator.

[mutters]

-Is this the nutrition bag?
-Yes.

I think she's uncomfortable.

Let me clean her up first.

Her eyes are closed today.

Last time I was here,
they were wide open.

Quite scary.

Lao Zhou, could you excuse us?

Okay, okay.

I'm thinking maybe
I was wrong about Ke Zhenghua.

He's prejudiced
towards prostitutes.

That doesn't mean
he's the murderer.

He's a good caretaker,
he cares for a paralyzed woman.

He keeps everything so clean
for her.

It's not easy.

[phone beeps]

Hello?

We'll be right there.

What happened?

A new corpse was found
behind the disposal yard.

Boss. Forensics mentioned
this time it was quick.

Arterial spray
from the neck arteries.

Time of death was less
than four hours ago.

That means it wasn't earlier
than 7:00 a.m.?

Yes.

Where is Ke Zhenghua?

Still at the station.

After you left, I didn't
take my eyes off him.

He couldn't possibly
have done this.

This rolling gate is automatic.

It opens at 7:00 a.m.,
closes at 6:00 p.m.

The garbage trucks pick up
the trash around 10:30 a.m.

They pick up from here
around 11:00 a.m.

So no one found her
until the first truck arrived.

Surveillance?

The street
is being repaired this week.

All power is out.

This is apparently where
the murder happened.

But there's no sign
of a struggle.

Lao Zhou,
do you think it was him?

This time,
the blood was not drained,
it spurted.

Other than the red dress,
there are no similarities.

And her identity.
This girl looks like
a prostitute as well.

It's time for your medicine.

I have to go to work.

Be nice.

You can move now.

Good.

Looks like we have
to adjust your medication.

Drink this one first.

-Good. Good girl.
-[whimpering]

-Good girl. Open your mouth.
-[muffled gagging]

I'm resting.
Find someone else.

A vampire will suck
the blood of a woman
in the middle of the night.

Police. Show me your phone.

What about the police?

You're asking me for help.

I have the right to refuse.

Only because I'm so nice.

I see how hard you're working.

You can use it.

You don't have WeChat?

[laughs]
Sister,

who says everyone
has to use WeChat?

You have an eye
for spotting beautiful things.

Look at the moon.

You are...

What are you doing?

Give me your phone.

Take a photo of the moon
and post it.

Let's see how many views
the picture gets.

You do it.

I've never used it before.

-[mutters]
-Officer!

Why are you here so late?

I figured you'd be home

to change your wife's pad.

That's right.

[chuckling]

Do you need me?

[grunts]

Your back tire looks flat.

The front of the car is higher.

Impossible.

I just did the maintenance
the other day.

Then you must have
something in your trunk.

Are you accusing me?

[chuckles]
How can I?

Open it.

[beeping]

[beeping stops]

Let me explain.

I didn't steal them.

These two rocks
have been outside the museum
for a few months.

[chuckling]

Look at you, so nervous.

It's not like you hid
a female corpse or something.

Don't scare me.

[chuckles]

Show me your phone.

Okay.

My dear, can you act
like a lady sometime?

[scoffs]

Mei, how did you do
the analysis?

Is it correct?
We're wasting time.

My analysis can't be wrong.

It could be something
we missed from the start.

Maybe we should look at
the surveillance footage again.

Maybe we'll find
something new.

What time is it now?

The more time you spend
watching those videos,
more people will die.

All right, stop arguing.

Mei, did the forensic
experts get back to you?

What else can they say?

They told me
what we already knew.

-The knife wound from
the corpse at the warehouse?
-Yeah.

They had questions
about the blood vessels.

They took a sample
and had it analyzed.

By the time they finish,
there will be more murders.

[sighs]

Well...

are you hungry?

Let me get you some food.

[sighs]

Min...

do you know why random
cases are hard to solve?

Because they are random.
You walk down the street,

you see someone,
you kill them.

A few days after,
you kill another one.

That's why these victims,

no matter
their age or height,

have no similarities.

The fact that
they are prostitutes

means they live a secretive
lifestyle and they move around.

They are prostitutes.

They disappear and no one
reports them missing.

He dumps the bodies
all over the place.

By the time we find them,
we have lost valuable time.

PROSTITUTES MURDERED
IN VARIOUS CITIES

This man only has
one thing to say.

[Ke] I know you find it
difficult to sleep at night.

Don't be afraid.
It doesn't hurt.

[sighs]

Isn't it better to just sleep?

You won't feel the pain,
just sleep now.

Let me help you
change the pad.

[muffled yelling]

You're paralyzed!
Where's all this blood
coming from?

Blood, blood, blood!

Smells so good!
Come, come!

Eat it while it's hot...

Dead people wore this.
It doesn't bother you?

So what?
It's just clothes.

Isn't what we're doing...
a violation?

We're just trying it out.
Who knows?

What if you really find him?

Then we get him.

[thunder rumbling]

[thunderclap]

[line ringing]

[line continues ringing]

[woman speaking Chinese]

[keyboard clacking]

Lao Zhou, you are
an experienced detective.

I expect this
from the younger officers,
but you should know better.

You deliberately
ignored protocol.

Xing Min was born
into a police family.

If she was harmed,
I would be disappointing
the head of the academy.

Captain, Xing Min
has disappeared.

We should hurry and find her.
What are you still doing here?

I'm emphasizing discipline!

-It's not the right time!
-Enough!

The water truck driver told me
Xing Min got into a taxi.

Captain, give me two teams.

One will come with me
to Ke Zhenghua's.
The other one will follow Mei,

check surveillance cameras
from all angles, get records
of all the taxis that drove by.

You got that?
Get going!

-Mei, I've examined
the camera footage.
-Go!

There were only five cars
that drove by the bridge
at that time.

They belong to three
taxi companies, only one car
has a fake license plate.

-Fake license plate?
-[keyboard clacking]

Go on!
Check its driving route.
Show me where it came from!

[car door opens]

Officer,
you keep doing this to me.

It's so late now.
You're not sleeping.

Not driving.
What are you doing?

I was just helping my wife.
I was about to leave.

I felt sleepy,
so I took a nap in the car.
What's wrong?

What were you doing yesterday
between 4:00 a.m. to 4:30 a.m.?

What else?
I was driving.

Where?

Yesterday...
Yansha Road, Beiwei Road...

I don't remember.

I should go inside now.

Mind if I come in?

It's so late already.

Officer...

My wife is sleeping.

Are you suffocating her?

The air is too polluted.

Especially at night.

Our home is old,
but is made of brick and tile.

Very tough.

What's wrong?

What about my trunk?

[trunk opens]

-[beeping]
-[Ke mutters]

Are you leaving?

Take care!

[engine starts]

[click]

-[Shuo] Hello?
-Mei,

help me check
Ke Zhenghua's driving record.

-Okay.
-All of it!

I got it, Lao Zhou.

[phone vibrating]

Who is it?!

[beeping]

It's offline again.
Could this be an error?

Heading north.

We can only go in
that direction now.

[sighs]

We can't pass.

Let's go up that way.

[gasps]

[insects buzzing]

We found the owner of the car.

It hit the roadside bush
in the morning.

The driver ran away.

According to
the surveillance camera footage,

the driver was a young man.

The captain will bring him
to the station.

[door bangs open]

I'm not a man.

I don't want to go to the site.

I'm afraid she'll laugh at me.

[crying]

I never had a girlfriend.

Min is the only one I love!

I'm a weak man.

But I love her!

[crying continues]

[exhales]

[sighs]

What have I done?

Go.

I'm sorry, officer.

I was really sleepy.
I didn't mean to run.

-How come?
-I was looking for someone.

Who were you looking for?

I wanted to run away at first,

but I thought to myself,
he has to keep his word.

I did everything I could
to find the car owner.

You're not the owner?

I'm not.
I found this job online.
I drive the night shift.

We split our earnings.

Who is the owner?

I really don't know.

Do you really think
we're that dumb?

I really don't know.
We communicated via
the Internet.

We set a time and place
to pick up the car
and the money.

It's been a few months.

We really haven't met.

Mm.

Do you know a Li Chun?

-Who?
-I'll tell you who.

We found the owner, Li Chun,
through the VIN.

This car is not a taxi!

[breathes heavily]

[breathing heavily]

[door opens]

Mei?

Mei...

What are you doing?

I've thought about it.

I can't do this anymore.

He's the devil
and I will fight him to the end.

Do you know where
you're going?

I don't know.
It's none of your business!

You're all useless.
I will find her myself!

-Mei!
-[man] Mei Shuo!

Mei Shuo!

Come.

Same face,
same hairstyle.

You can tell
she just got a haircut.

[grunts]
Here's the key.

Xing Min has a birthmark
on her back.
This girl doesn't.

-How do you know?
-Xiao Liu told me.

-How does he know?
-They went swimming last March.

-Are you certain?
-I'm almost positive.

But I need confirmation
from DNA found on
on Xing Min's clothes.

Records show that Li Chun
disappeared 15 years ago.

But the car was bought
five years ago.

If she's dead,
how did it happen?

We have to go to Li Chun's
hometown and backtrack.

[sighs]

-[man] Please, have some tea.
-[Shuo] Thank you.

Could you please think?

All these years,
you never heard about her?

She was dating someone
from school.

I told her to stop.
She took all her things
and left.

I got over it, it's as if
she was never in my life.

What was her boyfriend's name?

-Where does he live now?
Do you know?
-No.

Uh, did you look for her?

She's not a part of
my life anymore.
Why would I look for her?

Even if she was,
she wouldn't be of any help.

[chuckles]
He didn't mean it that way.

We just want to know did you
ever meet the boyfriend?

I did.

She brought him home once.

Was it this man?

Quiet.

Cut it.

[muffled whimper]

Sister, don't be afraid.

We're police officers.

[stammers weakly]

-[muffled whimpering]
-Don't be afraid.

[shushing]

We need another statement
after she wakes up.

-[siren blaring]
-See if she can
remember anything.

-Lao Zhou.
-Yes?

You should take a look.

What?

[mutters]

[grunts]

Get a flashlight.

What's that smell?

[door closes]

[muffled screaming]

[coughs]

[gasping]

[coughing]

[monitor beeping]

This woman has a strong will.

She takes sedatives every day,
but her brain is not affected.

It's a miracle
she's still breathing.

I forgot to tell you
about the corpse
at the warehouse.

The precinct called.
They figured out
the knife wound.

The knife was stuck in
the collarbone for a long time.

Blood accumulated in the vessel
causing it to rupture.

[sighs]

If they had given us
the test results
a day earlier,

we wouldn't have done
such a stupid thing.

You mean Guan Hong was murdered
by Ke Zhenghua as well?

Think about it.

Why didn't he take out
the dagger right away?

To prolong her death.

Why would he want to do that?

To create an alibi.

[sighs]

He fooled us.

Take a look.
The patient wrote this.

BOOK

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
TO MY DEAREST HUA

[Zhou]
"Chun grew up without a mother.

"Her dad is an alcoholic.

"He hits her
when he's drunk.

"I grew up with my grandpa.

"Maybe that's why
we liked each other in school.

"I know I'm the only one
she can count on.

[bicycle bell dings]

"We moved in together.

"Because I'm
much older than her,

"the neighbors would talk
about us behind our backs.

"But Chun tells me,
as long as we love each other,

"we shouldn't care
about what people say.

"Those were
the best days of our lives.

"If only we could freeze time.

"But Chun is a woman.

"Women need to enjoy
themselves.

"They need to enjoy life.

I couldn't give her
what she wanted."

[shouting]

[door opens, closes]

"Then she changed.

"She was always out.

"She said she could take care
of herself.

"Take care of herself?

"She could only sell her body.

"I wanted to save her.

I wanted to save
those shameless women."

Chun looked very pale.

She looked so sexy lying there
on the black soil.

She looked fragile,
so I let the blood out.

When Chun's blood drained,
her sould was cleansed.

You women...

You don't know how pure you are.

I bought a red dress for her.

It cost me two months' salary.

I wanted her to wear it
for our wedding.

Why didn't you
put it on her?

Her skin was dirty.
She couldn't wear it.

Her soul needed to atone.

The red dress is meant
for an innocent soul.

You never stopped killing
after that?

Who doesn't want a good life?

I wanted to get married.

I wanted
to have children.

But who knows why?

I married a girl
who couldn't have children.

So she meant nothing to you?

When I found out
she couldn't conceive...

I lost interest in her.

I just couldn't make love
to her anymore. I'm useless.

-[panting] Lao Zhou, hurry!
-What's wrong?

We found video of Ke
passing the toll road station.

-[siren wailing]
-Give me the key.

For a short period of time,
I didn't want to kill anymore.

But they don't listen.

They have no shame!

I had to kill them.

I drained them,

cleaned their stomachs,

so their souls would be
cleansed for atonement.

[sirens wailing]

The doctor said
his wife's disease
was not so serious.

She could still move.
She could still talk.

It looks like
she is also a victim.

He won't let his sick wife die.

My wife was my best alibi.

Even though she's like a hen
that can't lay an egg,

she always gets
her period on time.

I clean her blood.

What about Cheng Xiao?

I didn't mean to kill her.

She kept teasing me
with that dress.

What about Guo Lili?
What about Guan Hong?

What do you want me to say?

I don't even know their names.

What difference does it make?

They're all dirty whores!

You're a monster.

Ever since
I killed my love, Chun,

I'm not a man anymore.

How did we meet?

That night you stood
out in the rain.

You looked just like Chun
in my dream.

You are too beautiful.

Damn. We lost them.

[sighs]
Useless!

Lao Zhou, is Min still alive?

Yes.

She's waiting
for your confession.
Get in the car.

We're not waiting
for the team?

I know where they are.
Just come with me.

You are like Chun.

As beautiful as Chun.

[breathing heavily]

[grunting]

Come. Over here.

This is where we found
the first body 15 years ago.

[Shuo]
There's signs of a struggle.

Lao Zhou, this is Min's watch.

Let's go.

I didn't expect...

a woman like you
couldn't arouse me.

You are not my Chun.

I can't find my Chun anymore.

[siren wailing]

Lao Zhou, it's a cliff.

Sit tight.

[Ke] Chun's dirty.
She's dirty.

She can't go back anymore,
even if she dies.

You're not Chun.

Chun listens to me.

She wouldn't betray me.

Of course I'm not Chun Li!

Chun died 15 years ago.

Lao Zhou has been
holding on to her skull.

She's been watching you.

Everything you do.

But you--

you are a monster.

You killed the woman
who loved you,

and you use it as an excuse
to continue killing.

You don't deserve to die!

[engine revving]

[siren continues wailing]

[Shuo]
Taxi! Ke Zhenghua!

Hurry up! Catch him!

[engine revving]

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

[engine revving]

[horn honks]

Detective Xing,
you are the 13th.

That number is bad luck.

I won't take you
to the grave with me.

Ke Zhenghua,
you can't die like this.
You have to confess.

You have to apologize
to those parents!

[grunts]

[tires screech]

Stop the car! Stop the car!

[brakes screech]

-[coughing]
-Min. Min.

Girl, wake up. Girl...

-[coughs]
-Girl...

[explosion]

[sighs]

[breathing heavily]

[birds twittering]

Girl...

thank you for staying by my side
all these years.

You gave me the courage.

You can rest in peace now.

[sniffles]

[somber music]

[train roaring]

[dramatic music]

[Multicom jingle]
