All language subtitles for [English] Third pair of shoe prints 2023

[Third Pair of Shoe Prints]

God!

Any clues?

The sleeve of the right arm

was torn off.

There is a hollow injury
of two to three centimeters

on the left side of the back of her head.

The body was dragged to here.

It means the first crime scene

is nearby.

Mr. Yan, there's blood here.

Continue the investigation.

Based on the blood and the wound

on the back of the victim's head,

I think the victim hit
her head on this stone.

This should be the crime scene.

Did you find the victim's wallet,

phone or anything?

We didn't find

what you said on the spot.

What about the victim's ID card?

No.

According to the victim's situation,

I think it's not an intentional homicide.

But why did the murderer drag the body

into the flower bed, hide it here,

and take away

the victim's purse and phone?

Find out the victim's
identity as soon as possible

and confirm the
identification of the corpse.

Yes, sir.

This path and the flower bed, part
of the municipal engineering project,

were just completed.

The construction has not been
fully checked and accepted yet.

So, nothing was find in
the surveillance system.

According to the information,

as of 12 o'clock last night,

there were 11 missing persons in our city.

But none of them are
the victim of this case.

Mr. Yan, based on the clues
found at the crime scene

and the primary examination of the body,

we found the cause of death is that

the victim hit her head on a hard subject,

then, her central nerve system was damaged,

causing asphyxiating shock,

which led to her death.

There could be other reasons.

But we need a pathological test.

In addition, under the
fingernails of the victim,

there are black leather residues,
probably from leather shoes.

We found three sets of footprints

in and around the flower bed.

Two sets are clear,

and the rest set is blurry.

But these three sets of footprints

were left at the same time,

which was

around the death time of the victim.

That's important.

It means that there were at least
three men at the crime scene.

It's very likely that

they have seen the dead.

If these three men

have nothing to do with the dead,

why didn't they call the police?

If they are murderers,

did it take three men

to kill a woman?

Anyway,

they are major suspects.

Next, we should confirm the
identification of the corpse.

The crime scene is less than 500
meters from Qingjiang Hospital.

This should be the key screening place.

Man Yan, Kang Shuai,

you two check the nearby hospitals.

Yes.

[Tolerant and Virtuous]

Song Xiaojing is wilful.

She knew she had to do a surgery today,

but now she's out of touch.

People are different.

She is the best friend
of the dean's daughter.

So, she has the right to be willful.

Who is out of touch?

Another ace in our hospital,

Song Xiaojing, an attending
doctor of the Neurosurgery.

Here's the book you want.

You've changed your glasses?

Yes, because you said

[No smoking]

the former pair was ugly.

You just realized it?

But after putting on this pair of glasses,

[No smoking]

you look like a director.

All right, I'll go in first.

[No smoking]

I'm from the Criminal Investigation Detachment
of the municipal public security bureau.

I want to know

if Song Xiaojing is out of touch.

Bring me today's schedule.

Hello, this is Neurosurgery.

Song Xiaojing has an early shift today.

But she hasn't come yet.

Okay, thank you.

Officers,

I just confirmed

that Song Xiaojing is absent today.

Can you take us

to the HR Department to
check her information?

No problem.

Whose call?

The Security Department.

He asked

who didn't come to work today.

I told him that Dr. Song didn't come.

That's all?

Yes, that's all.

Okay.

Call Dr. Song to check what happened.

Today's surgery is not that difficult.

Let Mr. Qi do it.

Okay.

[Efficient Police]

Mr. Yan, we found it.

Yes.

According to the survey file by Kang Shuai,

[Investigation Centre]

The victim was a doctor of Neurosurgery

of a hospital.

She's 28 years old.

Her name is Song Xiaojing.

What about her social contact?

She doesn't have many friends.

She has a boyfriend named Wu Zuming.

Where is Wu Zuming?

He's out of town. He's on his way back.

He can come back

tomorrow morning.

Check

Song Xiaojing's call records that night,

and ask her leaders and colleagues

to find out who she had conflicts with.

Okay.

Go.

[Working]

On the night of September 2,

when did you go out?

Where did you go?

On September 2,

we went out at around ten o'clock.

We had dinner outside

and went to the Binjiang Park.

When did you leave Binjiang Park?

Around eleven o'clock.

She said she had something
urgent to do, so she left first.

Then where did you go

after she left?

What do you mean?

Please answer my question.

Where did you go after she left?

If you don't tell me

what happened,

I refuse to answer your questions.

It's your legal duty

to answer the case-related questions.

Case-related? What case?

Song Xiaojing was murdered

that night.

What? Why?

Hey, it's convenient to talk. Go ahead.

Mr. Yan, we've checked Song
Xiaojing's call records.

She made three phone calls that night.

All three calls were

to a girl named Cheng Jingsi.

[File bag]

She had four missed calls after that.

Three of them were from Wu Zuming.

[First Fan Festival]

Another one was from Liu Simin.

Lat time,

when I checked the files in the hospital,

[Real-name self-service registration]

I got the information that Liu Simin

is Song Xiaojing's colleague.

But I don't know about Cheng Jingsi.

OK.

Do you know a woman named Cheng Jingsi?

Yes, she's XiaoJing's best friend.

She also works in the hospital.

After Song Xiaojing left,

who can prove where you went?

I went home.

My mom can prove that.

[Inpatient Building]

You're so sad.

I can see that you two must be very close.

We went to college together.

We slept on the same bunk bed.
She's my best friend.

Why didn't you answer her calls that night?

I was on duty.

Who are Song Xiaojing's friends?

Her boyfriend Wu Zuming,

and my fiance, Liu Simin.

They are in the same department.

Liu Simin is the director of Neurosurgery.

Xiaojing is his subordinate.

They were close

because of me.

Thank you for telling me so much.

Her boyfriend is handsome.

Hi, Director Liu.

I'm from the Criminal Investigation Detachment.
I want to get some information from you.

The Section Chief has told me

you wanted to ask me

about Song.

On September 2

you called Song Xiaojing at 23: 11,

but she didn't answer your call.

Why?

September 2?

Yes,

September 2.

Yes,

I called her that night.

I wanted to tell her something

about the surgery the next day.

She didn't reply me.

I had to ask someone else to
do the surgery the next day.

[No smoking]

Please tell me

where do doctors usually put your shoes

when you are doing surgeries?

There are shoe cabinets
in doctors' offices.

The color is different

from the residues.

[Defend the police for justice and
enforce the law for the people]

Mr. Yan, following your order,

[Investigation Centre]

I've taken all the sole patterns

of Liu Simin's shoes in his shoe cabinet.

After comparison,

none of them matches the residues.

Take a look.

After preliminary
investigation, we can basically

rule out the suspicion of
the victim's acquaintance.

Looks like we need to think
of robbery and murder.

This is a photo of the crime scene restored by the
Technology Department with digital technologies.

No ring was found at the scene.

According to the autopsy report,

there are slight scratches on the
victim's finger wearing a ring.

All the evidence points
to a a robbery-murder.

We must focus on all the robbery cases

around September 2.

According to the crime
scene, if it's a robbery,

the murderer didn't plan it for long.

He must be a roaming marauder

in an awkward situation.

He even took the phone,

so he might be in a rush

to sell the phone and the ring.

Mr. Yan, I'm going to ask
the Technology Department

to locate the phone.

Okay. Kang Shuai,

check the second-hand mobile phone market.

Okay.

Tell the precincts to keep an eye on it.

Okay.

[Spanish Style Street]

We want the shoppers of the
second-hand phones trading

to help us count all the models
of second-hand mobile phones

traded recently.

Sir, it is difficult.

A large amount of second-hand
phones are in circulation

Besides,

shoppers never used to do statistics.

I need the data from September 2 to today.

Give me as much data as you can.

Sir, I'll try my best.

Manyan, Song Xiaojing's phone is turned on.

Where is it?

Huazhong mobile market.

Hello?

I just went out of the
Huazhong mobile market.

Song Xiaojing's phone is on.

Go back now.

Send me the location and number.

Okay.

Is this your phone?

None of your business.

[High price]

Why is the mobile wallpaper a woman?

That's my wife.

I bought her a new one,

so I want to sell the old one.

[High price]

[Song Xiaojing]

[Hang up]

What are you doing?

CID, whose phone is this?

A man sent it here just now.

Where is he?

He left.

Where is the surveillance room?

Here.

[Safe investment] [Education training]

[List of Freebies] [Elevator Information]

Get me the CCTV footage of the No.2
counter for repairing mobile phones.

Why is there no CCTV from the No.2 counter?

That's a blind spot.

Our condition is limited.

The market has not implemented

the regulations on transaction
management of the mobile phone market.

I'll suggest the relevant departments

to rectify you.

Sir, give us a chance.

We can rectify it ourselves.

How about this?

Put the relevant videos into a flash drive.

- [I am proud and honored to be a police officer.]
- [I promise to be loyal to the CPC, the country, the people, and the law.]

It's all my fault. I was so
close to meeting the suspect.

- [I'll follow orders, obey commands, strictly observe disciplines, keep secrets and enforce the law impartially.]
- [I'll be honest, dedicated to my duty, unafraid of sacrifices, and serve the people wholeheartedly.]

[I'm willing to devote myself to the noble public
security business and work hard to fulfill my promise.]

[Police Oath]

If I had investigated more carefully,

and stayed there for several minutes more,

I could have catch the suspect.

Don't blame yourself.

Some slight oversights in handling cases

are inevitable.

At least, it can prove

our judgment is correct.

The suspect needs money urgently.

He will sell the ring of the victim

at the jewelry market.

That's true.

There are 65 pawnshops registered

in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

They are mainly in Jiang'an,

Hongshan and Wuchang Districts.

We have informed

all the precincts

and industrial and commercial
departments to conduct surveillance.

But the problem is

the suspect can trade this ring

through other informal channels.

Normally, jewelery pawnshops

must be registered under a real name.

According to the on-site conditions,

the suspect isn't a long-planned killer.

He doesn't have any
anti-investigation awareness.

He'll probably sell the ring as usual.

Mr. Yan, there is a report
from the Hongshan Branch.

Someone in a pawnshop

is selling the ring with
Song Xiaojing's ID card.

Let Hongshan Branch

monitor the transactor.

We'll be right there.

Yes.

Mr. Yan, the traffic is congested.

I'll drive the motorcycle there first.

You can go there later.

Okay.

[Public Security]

[Name: Song Xiaojing]

Give it to me.

Hurry!

[Pawnshop]

We've sent someone to stall him.

Wait for you to come.

Okay.

Give it to me.

It's him! Get him!

Stop!

Stop! Freeze!

[Public Security]

[Inquiry Room 5]

What did you do on September 2?

I can't remember.

[Name: Song Xiaojing]

How did you get this ID card?

I picked it up.

Where did you pick it up?

The riverside.

You are dishonest.

Let me give you a hint.

At 10 o'clock, September 2,

you conspired with
others to kill this woman

and robbed her purse, ring, and phone.

You sold her phone to the
Huazhong mobile market.

It's a iPhone 6.

Tell us the truth!

I didn't kill her.

I didn't kill her.

I'm not the murderer.

You said there was a ring, a phone

and a purse.

There was one thousand yuan in the purse.

I got them from the woman.

But at that time, she was already dead.

I just took those things from her.

What?

How did you know she was dead?

She was lying there.

To be honest,

I didn't know whether she was dead or nor.

I dared not

check if she was dead.

Where is her purse?

In the room I rented.

Do you live with anyone else?

You know,

I'm just a punk,

not a member of a gang.

Where did you go

after you took Song Xiaojing's purse?

I went home.

Get a warrant.

Take him

to his place.

Yes.

[Internal Security Patrol Brigade
of Jiangxia Public Security Bureau]

After a careful search,

no other suspicious evidence was found

in Zhang Jun’s residence.

Wu Zuming verified that

the purse is the one Song Xiaojing took

that night.

We can make a primary conclusion that

Zhang Jun’s confession is in
line with the on-site situation.

In addition, the fibrous tissue

extracted on and around
Song Xiaojing’s torn sleeve

is no match with Zhang Jun’s.

Although Zhang Jun's
neighborhood is shabby,

there are surveillance
cameras at the gates.

After checking the CCTV footage,

we found Zhang Jun came back

at around 11 o'clock that night

This matches the time

he confessed.

In other words,

we can rule out Zhang Jun’s suspicion.

We lost clues again.

But we got something.

At least we have

ruled out one set of shoe prints.

We are one step closer to the truth.

Ming,

ask the Legal Office

how to proceed with Zhang Jun's crime.

Next, we need to find out the owners of

the two shoe prints that are not excluded.

Hey, dude, lend me a lighter, please.

Sir, can you lend me your lighter?

Hey, dude. It's not lit yet.

This is his lighter.

Where was Song Xiaojing

when you borrowed the lighter?

She was next to me.

What did that man and woman look like?

The woman buried her
head in the man's arms.

And the light was dim on the road.

I didn't see

the man's face clearly.

Why didn't you tell me earlier

such an important thing?

Xiaojing's death was a big blow to me.

I didn't notice anything else.

Then I remembered

Xiaojing left in a hurry

after the couple left,

Xiaojing.

I have something to do in the hospital.
I have to go first.

Hey.

Mr. Wu,

every clue you told us

is very important.

So you can't miss any detail.

Think about it.

Well, he was wearing glasses.

I didn't see his face,

but when I lit the fire,

his face was glowing.

Got it.

Prioritize the owner

of this Zippo

as the main clue.

From what Zhang Jun said,

we can confirm that this case
is not murder and robbery.

Now we need to

focus the criminal suspect back
on someone knowing the victim.

Do you have any idea?

Can we make a bold assumption?

The reason why Song
Xiaojing left in a hurry

was the one wearing glasses.

And this person

related to Song Xiaojing to some degree.

Yes, if we can find this person

based on this assumption,

it's still valuable

to solve the case.

I'll investigate

Song Xiaojing's social
relations as soon as possible.

At the same time, I'll check the scene

and see if there's any new clue.

I can help.

I have a classmate working
in the police dog team.

I can use his police dog.

The police dog is very sensitive

to the smell of metal and gasoline.

If your assumption proves correct,

that is, the man with glasses

related to Song Xiaojing's death,

[Investigation Center]

the police dog will detect

the smell of metal on the glasses

and the unique gasoline smell of Zippo.

[Only Authorized]

These police dogs are a powerful team.

Yes, you're right.

We have regarded them

as our comrades.

Every dog here

has achieved merits.

Take your pick.

I promise they will give you

unexpected findings.

Which kind of police dog can distinguish

metal and gasoline?

Every police dog in our base

is good at smelling.

Among them, German shepherd is better.

This one is very powerful.

This is a German shepherd called Yuanbao.

It can detect the smell of humans

in the scene seven days ago.

I'll take this one then.

Thanks, my classmate.

What? Don't you thank me?

Thank you, captain.

Yuanbao, come out.

Sit.

Smell.

Smell.

Smell.

Go.

Smell.

Smell.

Here, this way.

Smell.

What does this mean?

This means there's same odor of humans

in this place.

[Police Dog]

According to the Technical Department,

this small screw

should be on glasses.

As for the specific type,

I need to ask the glasses store.

Kang Shuai, lock relevant stores

and go check them.

Yes.

Be careful.

Son, protect your eyes.

Mom. Mom.

Hello, sir.

- How can I help you?
- Hello.

Can you fix my glasses?

Okay.

[Optometry Room]

[Second Special Area Be
Professional with Heart and Soul]

Hello, sir.

How can I help you?

[Optometry Room]

This type of glasses has stopped
production in the market.

Because its screws are special,

it isn't available in the market now.

Is there any other way?

If you insist on using
other types of screws,

it might affect the effect.

[Optometry Room]

Okay, thank you.

[Optometry Room]

Excuse me.

[Second Special Area Be
Professional with Heart and Soul]

This is a screw

on a pair of glassess
that is old-fashioned.

That type is out of production.

It's rarely seen in the market.

Really? Thank you.

You're welcome.

[Defend the police for justice and
enforce the law for the people]

Mr. Yan, maybe we should

investigate more about Liu Simin.

Why?

Liu Simin wears glasses.

The owner of Zippo

also wore glasses.

Now we have this screw.

This is your reason?

What are you going to do?

I'll bring him back for questioning.

Maybe we can get some clues.

You can doubt him,

but you can't assume it is the fact.

Without evidence,

we can't take any measures.

Otherwise, it will be very
unfair to those involved.

We need to go to the hospital.

Don't tell anyone

that the clue goes nowhere,

especially Cheng Jingsi and Liu Simin.

Got it.

Got it.

[Inpatient Building]

I think you've got it wrong.

Song Xiaojing is the bestie

of Director Liu's fiancee.

How is the relationship

between Cheng Jingsi and Liu Simin?

Well, how should I put it?

Cheng Jingsi is plain-looking.

She relies on her father to work.

But she has a good father.

What do you mean by "a good father"?

Her father is

the former Secretary of the Party
Committee and Director of our hospital.

Do I have to

explain everything clear?

I'm asking about

their relationship.

No one besides they two

can comment on that.

But I think

Director Liu has to treat Miss Cheng well

for her father's fake.

From what you say,

you seem to indicate

that they are not close.

Director Liu just wants to

take advantage of his future father-in-law.

Officer,

you can't simply interpret
my words like that.

Director Liu is well-educated.

He's our recognized prince charming.

Do you know

this lighter?

No.

Does Liu Simin smoke?

No.

Oh, right. Almost forgot one more thing.

I can't remember the exact date

but a few months ago,

in the corridor,

a report slipped off

from Liu Simin's folder.

A cleaner picked it up for him.

But he was furious on the spot.

The cleaner was scared to tears.

Will that report

be in his office?

Liu Simin is off today.

[Practical Atlas of
Brain Vessels][Neurology]

[Practical Atlas of
Brain Vessels][Neurology]

Fei Fei.

[Xia Hong]

[Prescription]

[Name: Xia Hong]

[Investigation Centre]

Mr. Yan, you said Liu Simin didn't smoke.

That means the person in
Binjiang Park that night

was not him.

We can only say that reduces his suspicion.

Before there is hard evidence,

all doubts

exist for a reason.

[No Smoking]

What's going on?

The Technology Department has
verified Kang Shuai's investigation.

This is a pair of glasses that is outdated.

[No Smoking]

There's no alternative for that screw now.

But the pair of glasses of Liu Simin

is new.

And it's not broken.

This was found in Liu Simin's office.

Have a look.

Liu Simin is a brain surgeon.

Why is there a report of
a gynecologic examination

in his office?

It can only prove that

he has a special relationship
with the patient.

Yes, continue.

Xia Hong.

Maybe Xia Hong is an assumed name.

See if we can find new clues

from these reports.

Assumed name?

[Outpatient Department]

We've checked.

The doctor said it's been too long

and couldn't remember whether
it was Xiao Hong or Xia Hong.

Okay, got it.

Mr. Qi.

He is welcomed by women.

Is there any close relationship?

As far as I know, no.

He's the son-in-law of the former Director.

Even if the lady wants to, how dare he?

Okay, thank you.

By the way, I remembered something.

What is it?

There's a Binjiang Bank
in front of the hospital.

But Liu Simin always goes to

[Binjiang Bank, Lugou Bridge Road]

Binjiang Bank on Lugou Bridge Road.

I don't know if this can
be considered abnormal.

Go to Binjiang Bank

on Lugou Bridge Road.

Check the list

of female clients,

especially those with "Xia"
and "Hong" in their names.

Yes.

Report it to me as soon as you find it.

Kang Shuai.

Yes.

Go to the telecom station

and get recent call records

of Liu Simin.

Find out the woman closest to him,

especially those

with "Xia" and "Hong" in their names.

Yes.

Hello.

Hello, is your president here?

May I know who you are?

[Public Security]

Criminal police.

Your investigation is basically clear.

[Investigation Centre]

Then…

Man Yan is back.

What's the situation over there?

I've found it out.

There really is such a client on the list.

Xiao Hong.

How do you know?

I asked Kang Shuai

to check Liu Simin's call records

and the woman named Xiao Hong.

Although they don't usually talk much,

they called each other on
the night of September 2.

What about you?

Xiao Hong is single.

[Investigation Centre]

A few years ago,

her husband died in a car accident.

She lives with her child.

It is said that she has
a bestie named Shen Yan.

They talk about everything.

Let Fei Fei talk to Shen Yan.

We must figure out

the relationship between
Liu Simin and Xiao Hong.

Yes.

[Inpatient Building]

After careful consideration,

we decide to promote Liu Simin

as the Deputy Director of the hospital.

I want to thank our leaders

for their cultivation.

I won't let you down.

With my concrete efforts,
I will contribute to the hospital

and society.

Who is that?

Me.

Why are you here?

Isn't today the day of your appointment?

Do you have a cigarette?

Stop smoking.

You'll get addicted.

I only smoke here.

I don't smoke anywhere else.

Today,

you should stay at home with your fiancee,

instead of acting cute here.

I'm more scared

after I became the Deputy Director.

Isn't it what you want

the most?

Yes, that's what I want.

We've passed the point of no return.

I can only move forward.

All I can do is to climb up the social
ladder. But I can't bear to leave you.

But you've made your choice.

Don't regret it.

I don't want you to blame me

because of this for a lifetime.

Hong, this is the first and last time

for me to stay here.

I have a long way to go.

I must leave everything
behind before I move forward.

Wish me good luck, and
wish you all the best.

This is my most precious thing.

I'll leave it for you as a memory of me.

Simin.

[Functional Inspection Department]

[Director Liu]

[Dear Director, I'd like to have two days off to go back
home and visit my mother. Looking forward to your approval.]

[Being a good child by taking care of parents
are reasonable for taking leave. Approved.]

It is said beauties could not end up well.

Xiao Hong can't escape this same fate.

After her husband passed away,

she has been guarding
against the men around her,

but she failed.

Who is that man?

I'm sure you already know. Liu Simin.

How did they meet?

Because Xiao Hong's child was sick.

Doctor! Doctor!

- Please save my child.
- I will.

Give it to him.

Slow down.

How do we go home?

Is anyone picking you up?

I'll drive you home.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Their fate was destined from that night.

Then they were together.

All disloyal men in the world

will be honest after they cheat.

He told Xiao Hong that he had a girlfriend

who would become his wife soon.

A tragedy caused by an
ill-fated relationship

came quietly.

Xiao Hong was pregnant.

[Obstetrics and Gynecology]

I'm sorry.

Liu Simin

seemed to take good care of Xiao Hong.

It seemed so.

Why?

Xiao Hong

talked a lot about Liu Simin.

Apart from her true feelings for Liu Simin,

she was also very clear of
what kind of a person he was.

She said Liu Simin

was complex and self-contradictory.

What an excuse.

In my opinion,

he is selfish in essence.

He wanted one woman's resources

and

another woman's love.

It seems that your
comment is more accurate.

Thank you, Shen Yan.

I think I know the general situation.

[Investigation Centre]

17023678901.

Xiao Yan.

Yes?

Check

the owner of this number.

It's a typical virtual number,

and not registered with a real name.

Well, looks like someone
cares about Liu Simin

as much as we do.

Look at this photo, Kang Shuai.

It finally matches.

Can we arrest him now?

No, we need to

check the compatibility

of the screw

and the model of the glasses.

That's Xiao Hong.

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Let's go upstairs.

Hurry up.

Xiao Hong.

Who are you?

Police. What can I do for you?

Can I go to your place?

Why would I say no?

Let's go.

Let's go home.

[Zipoo]

Have a seat.

The child went to sleep?

Sit.

Do you smoke?

No.

I saw you have a box of lighter oil.

It's your husband's?

Why? Are you interested
in personal collections?

Officer, what do you want to talk about?

You're strong

and very calm.

Am I?

Most people would have

been panicked by now.

Should I?

Since I'm here today,

you should know

I've got some information.

Are you talking about Liu Siming?

Since he's not married,

he's still single legally,

so there's no problem.

Of course you two have no problem.

I'm not here to verify your relationship.

Then?

Will it affect the child

if we talk here?

Let's go out for a walk.

The child is home alone.

Half an hour at most.

Okay.

Let's go.

The visibility here at night is really low.

It's not easy

to see a person clearly.

Captain Yan.

Yes.

The technical team replied.

After verification,

the glasses Liu Siming wore
on the day he took office

match the screw model found at the scene.

The problem is,

where did he put the glasses?

Could he have thrown them away?

If he did,

he wouldn't have wore the glasses

even with the transparent tape on them

on the day of his inauguration ceremony.

These glasses

must be special to him.

Where is he now?

He took two days off and
went back to his hometown.

What are you trying to say?

On the night when you

and Liu Siming came here,

a young woman

was killed near Qingjiang Hospital.

She was not only a subordinate
in Liu Siming's department,

but also the best friend of his fiancee.

What does it have to do with Liu Siming?

I also know

something about this.

That night...

That night, I was with
Liu Siming in the park.

We were together the whole time.

He didn't go anywhere.

You should know

that perjury is a crime.

Especially when you're a mother.

Sorry, I want to go home.

You should think carefully.

Your answer today

may not only harm yourself

but also your child,

and won't save Liu Siming.

What exactly do you want to ask?

That night,

after you and Liu Siming left here,

did you go home together,

or did you go somewhere else?

[Song Xiaojing]

[Cheng Jingsi]

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Sir, turn around and go
back to Qingdao Road.

Take care.

One more question.

Whose are the Zippo lighter fluid and

the pair of glasses in your home?

Captain Yan.

Oh.

We have a complete chain of evidence

against Liu Siming.

Give me an explanation for

why Liu Siming killed Song Xiaojing.

On the night of the crime,

Liu Siming found that Song Xiaojing

discovered his affair with Xiao Hong.

So he followed Song
Xiaojing to Qingdao Road,

hoping she wouldn't

tell Cheng Jingsi about it.

The conversation didn't go well,

and they had a fight at the scene.

The on-site investigation
results indicate that

Song Xiaojing was killed
accidentally, not murdered.

So

It should be that

Liu Siming killed Song Xiaojing
by mistake during the fight.

Set out immediately

to Mi Town.

Yes.

Okay.

[Police]

[Public Security]

[Police]

[Public Security]

[Police]

[Mi Town Police Station]

[Police]

Siming, wake up.

[Mi Town Police Station]

Slow down. There are plenty in the pot.

Director Liu.

Oh.

Mayor Chen.

What brings you here?

Director Liu, no.

I should call you President Liu.

Why didn't you tell me that?

Today,

I've arranged a feast in town,

especially for you.

Son,

he's here to invite you.

You should go.

Okay.

I'll be back soon.

Go.

Okay, let's go.

Let's go.

Go.

[Public Security]

[Mi Town Police Station]

Hello.

[Mi Town Police Station]

Are you sure?

Yes, it's right here.

[Mi Town Police Station]

[Office Area]

This way.

[Office Area]

[Law Enforcement Area]

[Waiting Room]

[Inquiry Room]

What do you mean by
treating me like a criminal?

President Liu.

Be at ease. Have a seat.

President Liu, don't be nervous.

We just

have a few questions for you.

You tricked me here.

You'd better give me an explanation.

Otherwise, I can sue you.

It's not appropriate

to use the word "tricked".

We don't want to scare the elderly.

I have a proper job.

I'm a law-abiding citizen.
What's there to be scared?

No need for these tense vibes.

Here.

Have a cigarette.

I never smoke.

Then I'll help myself.

Well.

Where's the lighter?

I don't know how to use a lighter.

Oh, right, no smoking in this room.

Let's get down to business.

We need to talk to you about

Song Xiaojing's murder case.

I've already told you

everything I know that day.

Where were you on the night of September 2?

I was at home.

Can anyone prove that?

No one can prove it.
I was writing my paper.

So, you were alone at
home writing your paper.

Why did your lighter

end up in Binjiang Park?

What can one lighter prove?

It indicates the motive for murder.

Motive for murder?

This lighter is everywhere.

Are you saying everyone using this lighter

is a suspect?

Alright, I'll give you a clear reason.

On the night of September 2,

you and your lover were
meeting in Binjiang Park.

Sir, can I borrow your lighter?

Sir, your lighter.

Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, let me explain.

That's it.

What else is there to explain?

I'm not blind.

You have to give me a chance to explain.

Liu Siming, how could
you do this to Jingsi?

President Liu,

do you need me to say more?

You have too much imagination.

How can it prove my motive for murder?

Cheng Jingsi's father is a
leader in the medical field.

If you anger him,

not to mention the vice president,

it's hard to say if you can

still work in this field.

Isn't that

a motive?

Officer Yan,

you're just speculating.

We're living in a law society.

When handling a case,

evidence is what matters.

You're not gonna admit it, aren't you?

Threats won't work.

Show me the evidence.

You want evidence?

Look what this is.

A small screw

found at the crime scene.

If I'm not mistaken,

it should match your previous glasses.

If we do a microchemical test,

it'll definitely match.

I'm wearing my glasses.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I just said

it's the previous pair.

But don't forget,

I'm afraid

you don't have evidence of your alibi.

Yes.

I wasn't at home.

But I didn't mean to lie to you.

Because I'm getting
married, there are things...

We're police

and not interested in your private life.

Of course,

we won't spread

about your personal issues.

Go on.

I have a female friend.

I was at her house the whole time.

A female friend?

She can testify for you?

Sure.

Let me remind you.

Perjury is legally liable,

whether it's you or her.

Her name is Xiao Hong.

Liu Siming.

I didn't expect you to say that.

Xiao Hong is really blind.

You went to see Xiao Hong?

Have you ever thought about her?

Xiao Hong sacrificed

several years of time for you.

She aborted the baby for you.

She almost forgot

the responsibility of a mother.

She wanted to give false
testimony for you, you know?

Did she?

But in order to get away with the crime,

you disregarded your
relationship of these years.

You dragged her into this mess.

Liu Siming.

For your successful career,

you even betrayed the woman

who loves you so much.

Do you have any conscience?

Are you a man?

The things you said today,

she has already said them for you.

Have you ever thought about her?

She almost

ruined her life for you,

including her own child.

How much more does she

have to sacrifice for you?

As a human,

how could you be so selfish

and ruthless?

Liu Siming.

In fact, this doesn't necessarily

need to happen.

It's all because Xiao Hong told me

you're a good doctor,

and let us give you a chance to confess.

But I want to ask you,

if you can't even be a good person,

how can you be a good doctor?

Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, let me explain.

That's it.

What else is there to explain?

I'm not blind.

You have to give me a chance to explain.

Liu Siming,

how could you do this to Jingsi?

It’s not like what you saw.

That woman was pestering me.

I'm afraid she'll make
a scene in the hospital.

In that case,

I can't be the vice president.

Fine, it's my fault. I'm sorry, okay?

I won't explain.

Listen, I promise you,

once I become the vice president,

I'll promote you to be
the director in two years.

Listen to yourself.

All you think about is your career.

You don’t love Jingsi at all.

You just want to use her
relationship to climb up.

I can’t let her marry you.

Have you ever thought

what would happen to you

if I become the vice president?

Don't you think it's despicable?

Move!

Xiao Jing!

Let go!

Xiao Jing!

Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing.

The position of vice president

is now vacant in the hospital.

You must work harder.

After Song Xiaojing fell down,

she didn't die immediately.

I could have saved her,

but I was worried that she
would tell Cheng Jingsi

and my career would be affected.

So I dragged her out of the scene,

hid her in the flower bed,

and let her die there.

I didn't mean to kill her.

I ran away and returned to the scene.

After all, it was a life.

But I found that she was completely dead.

Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing.

How could this happen?

[27 Police Station]

Due to immense mental pressure,

I considered turning myself in.

Siming,

your vice president application

has been approved.

Really?

Yes.

[Serve the People]

[27 Police Station]

But after so many years of hard work,

I can't bear to let go of

everything I've achieved.

I know I no longer

deserve to be a good person.

One last question.

What color

were your shoes on that night?

Brown.

[Police]

[Police]

This case is finally solved.

Luckily, Liu Siming still has a conscience,

or else he and we would have suffered.

[Detention Interrogation]

[Police Duty Room]

[Detention Interrogation]

[Methylene blue ethanol solution Protein]

Captain Yan, the case has been resolved.

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking

our last interrogation

of Liu Simin.

What's wrong?

Liu Simin said

on the night he accidentally
killed Song Xiaojing,

he was wearing the brown leather shoes

we saw in his office.

But what remains under the
nail of Song Xiaojing's

middle finger

is the remnant of black leather shoes.

Maybe Song Xiaojing got it somewhere else?

That's impossible.

Those remnants must be
from the murderer's shoes.

Think about it. Normally,

who would bend down and grab
others' shoes with one finger?

Unless this person was lying down,

and the owner of the shoes was standing.

That's right.

This is the unique way of standing

between the murderer and the victim.

Could it be that Liu Simin
deliberately concealed it?

I don't think

he needs to conceal a pair of shoes.

If we can't find these shoes,

there will be a knot in this
case that can't be untied.

Even if we find the owner of the shoes,

he might not be proven to be the murderer.

Zhan Ning's forensic report

has made it clear.

The only reason that caused
Song Xiaojing's death

was the wound she got on the flower bed.

And Liu Simin also confessed to it.

The details

and evidence both match.

What's the point of

finding the owner of this pair of shoes?

I always feel there must be another one

behind Liu Simin.

If this person really exists,

this pair of shoes must
belong to that person.

And this person must have met the victim.

Why did he meet the victim

at that time?

Was he trying to get himself in trouble?

Of course not.

Think about it.

If Song Xiaojing

died at the scene,

how could she

grab the shoes?

You mean

Liu Simin wasn't the one

who killed Song Xiaojing?

Instead, the owner of the shoes was.

In a panic,

Liu Siming thought Song
Xiaojing was already dead.

But in fact, Song Xiaojing
was not dead at that time.

How come?

The death report has
explained her cause of death.

Isn't that contradictory?

Unless you can show us

another fatal cause of death.

Mr. Yan.

Based on the cadaveric pathology,

the real cause of Song Xiaojing's death is

asphyxia.

That makes sense.

What took you so long to get this report?

Sorry for my negligence.

But you know,

you solved this case too quickly.

It usually takes a week

to get the pathological report.

But it only took you

five days to catch Liu Simin.

It's the typical high efficiency of
our criminal police in Jiangcheng.

Well said.

The criminal police in
Jiangcheng are highly efficient.

Well,

let's show

our high efficiency again

by finding the owner of the
shoes as soon as possible.

Hurry up.

Dear.

Hello?

What?

My master is in hospital?

I'll be right there.

You're here.

Yes.

Mr. Yan, you come to see Mr. Wang?

Hi, Mr. Qi.

You've helped a lot with my
master's illness. Thank you.

Our case is solved.

So I can spend more time with him now.

Well, the case is finally over.

It's time to spend some time with him.

Who would have expected

that Mr. Liu...

It's really hard to read people.

That's right. By the way,

I have to congratulate you.

I heard that

you're promoted to the director
of the Department of Neurosurgery.

I have no choice.

We lost two surgeons at the same time.

Well,

I...

We're really having a hard time.

A patient is waiting
for me in the next ward.

I gotta go.

Take your time.

Wait a second, Mr. Qi.

Qi?

Kang Shuai.

Check the SIM card

that sent messages to me

and see if it is still in use.

Yes, sir.

Actually,

I think the key to Liu Simin's case

is Mr. Qi.

Without his

critical hints,

we wouldn't be able to find Xiao Hong.

Let's assume that those messages and photos

were sent by Qi,

then there will be a series
of questions to be answered.

Why did Qi

care so much about Liu Simin?

Furthermore, Qi knew

so many detailed moves

of Liu Simin that others didn't know.

He even knew

he went to the bank four stops away.

Why could he always give us information

at the key moments?

But he didn't report to the authorities.

When I met him,

he was still defending Liu Simin.

Do you think

it's normal?

If they were

in the hospital,

it would be reasonable

for him to pay extra attention.

But he also knew so much about Liu
Siming when he was outside the hospital.

It's impossible.

Unless he often stalked Liu Simin.

Can we make a bold inference?

If that's the case as we assumed...

He happened to stalk Liu Simin

that night.

That's why Doctor Qi witnessed

what Liu Simin did

that night?

Yes, he was there.

Then the owner of

the shoe prints left at the scene

must be Doctor Qi.

It doesn't make sense.

So, what's his motive

for killing Song Xiaojing?

Now Mr. Qi has become a director.

Think about the situation before.

There were two cerebral surgeons
who were better than him.

Liu Simin and Song Xiaojing.

He killed two birds with one stone.

That makes sense.

That's a murder out of jealousy.

Now we need some evidence.

One is the virtual number
we've been looking for.

The other one is Qi's shoes.

Mr. Yan, you have to give us a bonus.

What? Are you crazy about money?

I tried my luck

and dialed that number.

It was connected,

but no one answered.

I found the source of the signal

by locating it.

It's in Mr. Qi's office.

[Letter of Appointment]

I finally become the chief surgeon.

Come in.

Mr. Qi.

Hi, Mr. Yan. Have a seat, please.

Thank you.

Mr. Qi.

I have to bother you

again.

There are still some uncertainties

about Liu Simin's case.

We still lack some evidence,

especially the ones of

the night of the murder.

There are some doubts

about Liu Simin's whereabouts.

Really?

But

what can I help you?

In this hospital,

you're the only one

who knows him

best.

Mr. Yan.

You make it sound like

I like to spy on others' privacy.

Mr. Qi, let me be frank with you.

If you didn't stalk him,

how would you know so much about him?

You even noticed the details

on the picture of him wearing glasses

that no one else had ever noticed.

You sent me this photo,

didn't you?

This isn't my number.

[Details]

[Calling home]

Whose phone is ringing?

It's mine.

Yours?

Do we still need to verify it?

It means nothing.

Is it illegal

to provide clues to police?

Thanks for providing clues to us.

But why did you do it

in such a secret way?

Besides,

how did you know

we were looking for Liu Simin's glasses?

Because you stalked Liu Simin that night

and witnessed everything.

When you saw

Liu Simin's glasses fall on the ground,

but he wore the broken glasses

again,

you realized

there must be some pieces

of broken glasses left at the scene.

Nonsense.

We have the neurology
department in our hospital.

I can make an appointment for you.

What were you doing that night?

I was watching TV at home.

Then who was the one caught in the CCTV?

What are you talking about?

Qingdao Road is under repair.

There was no CCTV at all.

How do you know there was no CCTV?

Of course, I did. If there were,

would it be that difficult
to catch Liu Simin?

Unfortunately,

I'm talking about the
CCTV at the Binjiang Park.

Sir, follow that car.

What do you want from me?

So what if I did?

Is it illegal?

Even though I provided
clues in a secret way,

so what? Is it illegal?

You don't want to arrest
the murderer but me?

So

You admitted you stalked Liu Simin?

Fine.

Now we officially invite you

to cooperate with our investigation.

I'm telling you, I'm not obliged to do so.

Mr. Yan.

Are these shoes yours?

Yes.

This pair of shoes appeared
at the crime scene.

Impossible.

I suppose you didn't realize

there was a scratch

on your shoes, did you?

Do you know where it came from?

Before Song Xiaojing died,

she scratched it out with her
fingernails on the murderer's shoe.

If we compare the
substance under her nails,

we'll know the answer soon.

No, I didn't kill her.

I didn't kill her.

Yes.

I just didn't save her.

We thought so too.

Unfortunately,

the latest forensic report
showed a different result.

The victim had punctate hemorrhages

on her membranes of the
lungs and pericardium.

And her mucous membranes
of the lips and teeth

rubbed so a wound was generated.

These are symptoms of mechanical asphyxia.

The victim

was smothered to death.

Why are you here?

Our director asked me to be his assistant.

The first assistant is supposed to be me!

Mr. Qi,

this surgery is not your specialty.

Our director wouldn't like
to refuse you directly.

All right.

You'd better go back and take a day off.

It's Ms. Song?

I think so.

She's so young.

So what?

She's such a good surgeon.

And she is close to Mr. Liu.

It's not surprising that she'll
be the deputy director, right?

Poor Mr. Qi. His patience
will be in vain again.

Yes.

Take the medical record.

You're not happy with Song Xiaojing,

who's catching up with
you at such a young age,

are you?

You'd been stalking Liu
Simin for a long time

to find out

his scandal with other women.

But you were given such a great chance

to get rid of two thorns in one go.

Song Xiaojing's death

made Lau Simin infamous.

And he has to be charged with murder.

It's not my fault.

They didn't respect me at all.

But...

But I didn't mean to kill her.

I really didn't mean to kill her.

I don't know why.

It's like I was possessed by the devil.

You take being smart as a rule,

but this time you're a fool.

If there were surveillance cameras
at the entrance of Binjiang Park,

how could we not find

the evidence of the affair

between Liu Simin and Xiao Hong?

I'm doomed.

Mr. Qi, this is the discharge
conclusion you asked for.

Put it here.

Okay.

Back off.

Don't move.

Back off!

Put down the knife!

Back off!

Put it down.

Don't come any closer.

Put the knife down.

Put it down.

Back off!

Back off!

Notify SWAT to get here
as soon as possible.

Tell the hospital to cooperate
and ask his family to come.

Yes.

Don't get close to me.

[Police]

[Police]

What's going on inside?

Mr. Yan has entered

to negotiate with the suspect.

The suspect is in a very unstable mood.

His family will be here soon.

Attention, assault teams.

Vehicle-based assault on rooftops

in three groups.

When the sniper arrives,

quickly locate the best
position and take action.

Stay back! Stay back!

Stay back!

Back off!

Don't make me do this.

Mr. Qi.

Listen.

The situation of your crime

is different from

a normal murder.

A life for a life.

I'm doomed.

As long as you

put down your weapon

and turn yourself in,

you can get a lighter sentence.

[High-voltage cable tray]

Mr. Yan.

Can I redeem myself by good service?

How about this? I'll save your master

as well as your police heroes.

Please set me free.

We'll try to get you a reduced sentence.

Your wife and kid

are waiting for you outside.

They are waiting to meet you.

Your wife needs her husband.

Your tender kid

needs his father.

Listen to me, Mr. Qi.

Put down the knife. It's not too late.

Put down the knife. I'll take you out.

Did you hear me?

Put down the knife!

Do you want your young kid

to lose his father

and the love from his father

at such a young age?

You worked so hard

to get promoted

to provide a better life for your family,

didn't you?

Do you want them to live happily?

But do you know

what they will face in the future?

Your wife will lose her husband
and your kid will lose his father.

Are you a responsible man?

What's your responsibility?

Put the knife down!

Mr. Yan.

I can only end my life now.

I'm sorry.

Master.

Don't move. Hands up.

Are you alright, dear?

I'm fine.

Hospitals are supposed to be
sanctuaries for saving lives.

But they're not immune to the endless greed

of the world.

There's nothing wrong with desire.

People need to pay for
what they did evilly.
