EIGHT YEARS AGO, SUIHE CITY

Hey, Liang.

How's the rooftop body case going so far?

Liang.

From what I can see now,

this case is quite gruesome.

An eight-month-old body on the rooftop

of an unfinished building.

I've cracked the case.

That fast?

Eight months ago,
this woman came to the police

to report on her missing husband.

After inspecting the body,
we found out it was her husband.

The cause of death was a head injury.

Who's the killer?

This woman.

Hey, Liang.

Sir.

Great, you've solved
the rooftop body case.

It was simple.

What are you doing lately?

I heard that you secured another patent.

I'm sure you'll make a lot of money.

Do you have the evidence?

I have witnesses,
evidence and testimonies.

In fact, I just reported it to Mr. Zhao.

Good job.

Liang.

The re-inspection report just came out.

Was there a re-inspection?

In this industry, we always say

that only dead people don't lie.

Which also means that any evidence

that has to do with a living person
might be fake, somehow.

I hope you don't mind.

This is my job.

Of course.

I need to talk to Mr. Zhao.

Before you close the case,
come see me at my office.

Come on, let's look at the case again.

One week ago,
someone found Hong-yun's body.

From the evidence
we found at the crime scene,

we found it was similar
to the Snowman serial killer case

that took place four years ago.

After thorough investigation,
we found a gangster called Blondie.

This guy.

He contacted Hong-yun
a few hours before he died.

But before we found Blondie,
he was killed as well.

Let's look at these two over here.

The man is Yu Guo.
The woman is Hui-ru Zhu.

They are the last people
who had contact with Blondie.

But we have no evidence
to prove that they killed him,

even though they're the main suspects.

Now, we have three pieces of evidence

which shows that they had
nothing to do with Blondie's death.

First,

from this CCTV footage we can see

that Hui-ru met Blondie at 10:15 p.m.

She brought him fried rice.

Fifteen minutes later,
Yu got there and took her somewhere else.

We found undigested fried rice
in Blondie's stomach.

This shows that Blondie
ate the rice after they left.

Blondie's friend, Bing Zhang,
received a call from him around midnight.

We found the call history
in Blondie's phone.

So Blondie must have died
after the phone call.

This is a can of beer
we found at the crime scene.

The fingerprints
that were found on the can

belongs to the Snowman.

So Blondie might have been
one of the Snowman's victims.

Ms. Lin, that's all.

Yes, that's all we have.

No matter what we do,
we come back to the Snowman.

I hope you guys can try
to think outside of the box.

There may be other clues
yet to be discovered.

Mr. Song, what do you think?

-I...
-Speak up if you have any ideas.

We're open to anything at this point.

My stomach hurts so bad last night.

Go ahead.

You guys carry on.

Mr. Song practically lives
in the bathroom.

All we needed was for him to leave.

MR. SONG

Hello?

Hey, Li.

Mr. Song, what's up?

Did you forget
to bring toilet paper again?

Hey, Li.

I'm listening. Talk.

You're silly.

-Well, you're fierce.
-You two. Cut it out.

-We're having a meeting.
-Exactly, we're in a meeting.

Who has toilet paper? I ran out.

You're very silly. Do you know that?

Where's my cellphone?

Sorry, Mr. Song.

Last night when you were dozing off
on duty, I borrowed your phone.

Why would you do that?

That was a recording?

Yes.

I recorded all the messages
in Mr. Song's phone.

What you just heard was compiled
with three of his messages.

I used a machine.
It didn't take five minutes.

Hey, Li.

So you mean that the phone call
Bing Zhang received might be fake?

I believe the evidence has fooled us.

Someone once told me

that "any evidence that has to do
with a living person

might be fake."

But we can't use this as evidence.

Then explain this to me.

Why is Blondie's phone
functioning perfectly

apart from having all its data erased?

But...

What about the fried rice?

How do you explain that?

Dead people can't eat.

Listen, I'm not a search engine, okay?

Just give me time, I'll find the answer.

So tell me, Liang. What do you think?

What do I think?

Exactly what you said.

Let's start again at the beginning.

But I don't want
to investigate people anymore.

I'm investigating cars.

Why are you helping us?

Do you really want to know?

Yes.

But, what if

my answer will hurt you?

Do you still want to know?

Come on, tell me what happened.

Nothing.

Nothing?

I saw you get taken away
by two police officers.

It was nothing.

I was working on a case before.

They needed some documents.

Are you stupid?
Or do you think I'm stupid?

You think I don't know?

Those were undercover cops.

They were criminal police. Besides,
you've never worked on a criminal case!

What happened? Tell me.

I'll help you deal with it.

Nothing happened.

They had this case and I was a witness.

So I helped them out.

What did you see?

Rape?

Gang rape.

Who were you with?

Who were you with?

I'm asking you a question!

What was that?

A supernatural force?

I owe you. From Hui Jin.

Dong.

Put it there.

Here.

Damn, that's a lot.

This is a CCTV footage
from the main streets

near the crime scenes
of the Hong-yun and Blondie cases.

They span two hours before
and after the time of the crime.

But what's the point?

We don't even know if the Snowman drives.

Of course, he does.
How else does he make the snowmen?

If he didn't have a car,

he'd have to hold
a pipe wrench everywhere.

People would notice him.

Couldn't he take a taxi?

What if he appears outside
of the two-hour range?

Our time is limited.

So we're going to start with private cars,
which are easy to track.

If this doesn't work, then you're right.
And if so, we'll need to expand the range.

Taxis are manageable,
what about public transportation?

Even if he took a rocket,
a donkey, or even a horse,

we still need to find it.

Understand?

Because we have nothing now.

Nothing at all.

Mr. Yan, it's easy for you to say,

but do you know how long
this is going to take?

-For you...
-Fine.

Tell us how to solve the case.

I'll do the work. Okay?

That's not what I mean, I meant...

That's enough. Stop it.

Tell me if you need help.

I'll get someone.

See?

Our leader is smart.

Hey.

Am I done here?
I need to get back to school.

You're not going today.

You get the day off.

You can help us.

He's a kid. What can he do?

I'll show you.

Dong, read the plate numbers
that appeared in both places to us,

will you?

Mr. Song and Li, you guys check the lists.

Record down all the numbers
related to the drivers

and the name of the car owner.

We should focus
on this during the investigation.

Ready, start!

-Are you just going to stand there?
-Liang.

White Jetta,

BAX9237.

Red Honda,

BA19029.

Black Benz,

BA00983.

Red Audi,

BA77654.

He memorizes them!

An exceptional ability!

Isn't that something?

-Impressive.
-Continue.

White Nissan,

B...

A283D.

Black Land Rover, BA78871.

Red Nissan...

Wait.

WEN LUO

-I need to go.
-Where to?

Didn't you guys want to know
whether a dead person could eat?

I'm going to meet someone,
if he's the person I think he is,

he'll have the answer.

Work hard.

These fellows
will buy you pizza for lunch.

NANGANG CASSEROLE RESTAURANT

Let's talk inside.

Where's your brother?

Don't worry.

He's a different man now.

So, tell me.

About that person.

Do you mean the man?

Yes.

He came last night
and gave me a new knife.

The weapon evidence is gone.

I know.

You knew?

I followed him last night.

He's a bad person.

Why? Why do you say so?

My instinct.

I saw his eyes.

Normal people don't have those eyes.

-But...
-Do you trust me?

I do.

Then stay away from him.

I believe, he's a dangerous man.

Stay alert.

Let me know if anything happens.

I have to go.

Hey.

Do you want to come in?

You punk! Leave my sister alone!

What are you doing?

Don't hit him.

What are you doing?

Do you understand me?

-What are you doing? Stop it!
-Let's go.

Stop hitting him! Stop it!

-Fu-lai, this is Yu.
-I know. I remember.

Mr. Zhu.

I heard that you saved my sister.

I just happened to be there.

So I brought her home.

Mr. Zhu, I'm a lawyer now.

I'll make sure Hui-ru is safe.

Nothing is going to happen to her.

Are you sure you're a lawyer now?

Yes.

Anyway, what are you here for?

We had a misunderstanding with the police.

I came to see if I could help.

No. There's no need.

I'll take care of her, okay?

Thank you for saving my sister.

But, in the future,
please stay away from her, okay?

Okay, that's all. I hope to see you again.

-I'll walk you out.
-No need to.

He knows the way out.

I'll leave now.

What was that about?

He's always been pestering you.

I don't like him.

That was a long time ago. He saved me.

I don't trust him.

Then do you trust me?

Are you doubting me?

Tell me.

No.

I...

So why is the police
always looking for you?

Go tell the police
you think I'm guilty then.

Okay, tell me this.

When you brought him the food that night,
why did you bring a knife with you?

Where's the knife?

Hui-ru.

Don't be mad. I...

Hey, Wen.

How are you doing?

It has been a while.

It has been a while.

So you live around here.

When did you move?

A few years ago.

I heard you're not
a forensic doctor anymore.

Are you doing making
medical equipment now?

Measurement equipment.

I sold the patent.

So, you're rich now?

I'm not trying to get a loan.

Congratulations.

That's enough, Liang.

Get straight to the point.
What do you need from me?

I just ran into you.

Liang.

Last Wednesday around 10:20 p.m.,

did you notice
anything strange when you drove

by the Sixth Street?

Not really. I can't remember.

Why do you ask?

There's a case.

Weird.

I looked at the CCTV footage

and saw your name.

So I had to come see you.

And learn something from you.

Liang.

I quit ten years ago.

Seven years.

Yes.

Seven years to be exact.

My methods are outdated.

Find a real forensic doctor.

Have you heard of the Snowman?

The Snowman?

Who's that?

So what happened?

Tell me, what happened?

The police were looking for him
and he just dies?

What are you supposed to do?

What's your background?

I don't really know.

And you supposed to be a leader?

I'm asking you,
did you send someone after Hong-yun?

Who said you could do that?

I wasn't worried,
what were you worried about?

Please calm down.

I promise it won't lead back to us.

Your promises are all useless.

Do you think if I stay here all day,
the police will let me off the hook?

Dream on.

They don't have any evidence yet.

If they did, I'd be in jail.

You guys are just a bunch of idiots.

So,

Mr. Jin lost a bet. Go get the money.

Okay.

Is that all you can say?

Now, just go and do your damn job!
Don't create more problems!

-Of course.
-Get out of here.

Hey.

I got something.

-Tell me.
-Someone told me

that Blondie had a girl over that night.

What's her name? And where does she live?

Well, I don't know yet.

That's all you got?

Go find out!

If you only find

the victim's footprints
at the crime scene,

and not the killer's,

it means one thing.

The victim

was already controlled by the killer.

It's a fake crime scene.

What you need to do now
is to focus on the victim's body.

Maybe then,
you'll be able to find something.

You still got it.

-Fake humbleness.
-So much for that.

You knew all that already.

Then let me ask something I don't know.

Sure. What is it?

How can a dead person eat?

Pardon me?

Long story short,

we found undigested fried rice
in the stomach of the victim.

Since this lead has
to do with the time of death,

we're wondering if it's possible

for the perpetrator
to force-fed his victim

after killing him.

What a bummer.

I was about to order fried rice.
But never mind.

It's possible. Do you want to know how?

Tell me.

It's kind of gross.

The killer holds

his victim's chin up like this

and pretends that the victim is chewing.
Then, he uses a long stick

to slowly, bit by bit,

feed the food into the victim's stomach.

That's enough.

I got it. Now, let's drink.

It's been

so many years now,

but your wild imagination
hasn't changed at all.

If I had a choice,
I wouldn't be here speculating with you.

So?

Come back as a consultant or something.

I'm not interested.

Look, even my beard is turning grey.

Unlike you, you're in your prime.

You were made
to be a criminal police officer.

Criminal police officer.

I was stuck at a local precinct
for eight years.

Liang.

I'm sorry.

I admit, I had something to do with that.

It's all in the past.

Let's not talk about it.

Thank you for your answer.

Cheers to you.

Hey.

What happened there?

What's wrong with your hand?

Uremia.

Terminal kidney failure.

You shouldn't drink.

I'm good. I've had it
for around four to five years now.

I can't control this hand very well.

But, everything's fine.

Let's talk about something else.

Cheers?

I'm fine. I'm not dead, okay?

Him?

-Mr. Zhao.
-Yes?

Liang said he was going to see Wen.

Do you know who Wen Luo is?

Back when I was working
with Liang in Suihe,

Wen was the forensic doctor.

I should add that he was
a brilliant one too.

That good?

Back then, Liang never listened to me,

but he listened to him.

Can you believe that?

I thought he never listened to anyone.

Only under one condition.

That person must think deeper
faster, and more detailed than him.

Wen is slightly older than him.

When Liang graduated
and was dispatched to Suihe,

Wen was already a famous police officer.

When Liang got there,
he tried his very best

to beat Wen.

Hey, Li.

Are you and Mr. Song
still working on drivers?

Stop it.

Yes, put a hold on it.

I'll let you know.

Seven years ago,

Liang made a huge mistake
while working on a case.

He was severely punished
and got kicked out of the criminal team.

Because of their benign competition
during those years,

their performance together was impeccable.

And they solved many cases too.

Don't misunderstand me here.

Only Liang was competing.

Wen is a very indifferent person.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I'm on duty.

Can I help you, sir?

I need some information on this person.

Are you here to inquire
about Wen's situation?

One of them was a detective,
the other was a forensic doctor.

Liang's imagination ran wild
with crazy theories.

Unlike Wen, he was the complete opposite.

He is calm and composed.
He always considered every detail.

Every lead must have
concrete evidence to back it up.

How long has he been on dialysis?

Well, around four years.

What's he like usually?

Pretty quiet.

When he comes in, he likes to read in bed.

Is there anything weird about him?

No.

He's very polite,
but he doesn't like to talk.

How long will uremia patients live?

With treatment,
eight to ten years is possible.

What about him?

Him?

He's not doing well.

His statistics aren't stable.

I'm not optimistic.

If I may ask,
are the patients usually weak?

Not necessarily.

Within 24 hours of a dialysis,

strength and energy levels
are pretty normal.

But after that, it's hard to say.

-I have another question.
-Yes?

On his hand...

Do you mean the needle?

All dialysis patients need
to insert a needle.

Does it have to be on the right?

I thought that was weird.

Usually, people choose the hand
they don't use as much.

But he insisted on having it
in his right hand.

He said he could train
his cerebellum this way.

This first incident happened
four years ago.

I'm good, I've had it
for around four to five years now.

From these signs, it's safe to assume that

The Snowman is very weak right now.

From the marks on the neck we can tell

that the killer is left-handed.

I can't control this hand very well.

But everything's fine.

It's a pity.

Liang must be disappointed.

Will Wen help him?

Liang can only be an officer.
He can't do anything else.

Wen is different.

He's a forensic doctor

and also an expert in the forensics field.

He even has invention patents.

He sold his patents a few years ago
and made a fortune.

He left the police force for good.

It would be great
if Wen could enlighten Liang.

Let's hope for the best.

Hoping to find something
by going through lots of CCTV footage

is unlikely to be fruitful.

Liang never wanted to do it.

If he was forced to use this method,
it means that his opponent is smart.

It's from Liang.

Okay, answer it.

Hello?

It's me.

I know. What is it?

Two o'clock this afternoon.
Coffee shop on Fourth Street.

It'll be on me.

What?

See you there!

What's up?

If I heard him right,
Liang wants to treat me to coffee.

Hello, can I help you?

Legal consultation.

In which field, sir?

Sir.

-Sir!
-Right.

-Divorce.
-Please wait here.

I'll introduce you to Hai Shao.
He's in charge of divorce cases.

Is there a lawyer called Mr. Guo here?

Yu Guo?

Yes, that's his name.

Hello, I'm Yu...

Mr. Yan, why are you here?

What the hell are you doing here?

I've looked all over,
but you're not in here.

I'm an intern.

I'm going to take the examination soon.

Have a seat.

Mr. Yan, about last time,
I've already told you everything we know.

If that's why you're here,
I still have work to do.

That wasn't everything.

What do you mean?

Let me ask you something.

My daughter-in-law is abroad.

And my wife changed her nationality.

I heard that it's more difficult
to get a divorce this way.

Is that so?

Are you only here
for a legal consultation?

Why would I lie to you?

It's been over a year now.

I remembered I had a lawyer friend,
so I came to see you.

If one person is abroad,
you can't get divorced.

You'd need to take her to court.

Or, basically, sue her.

Let's go talk somewhere else.

No, I can't leave now.

But I'm not comfortable here.

Let's go.

Let's go somewhere else.

-Hey.
-Yes?

I heard their cakes are good.

But pricey though. Let's order some.

Mr. Yan, tell me about your situation.

I don't have much to say.

We were not very smart back then.

What's her situation?

We were both married before.

She has a child
from her previous marriage.

The kid is around 15 years old.

We won't have custody problems, will we?

No.

That's good.

That kid is trouble.
He gets into trouble every day.

He tricked an adult lately,

if I weren't on duty that day...

Let's get back to the issue at hand.

Why are you in a rush?

I'll pay you.

I'm sorry.

That's right.

Where are you from?

Dongning.

What a coincidence.

I'm from Suihe.

I've been there a few times.

Let me think...

The first time was a rape and kill case.

This guy killed a young girl
and never admitted it.

We went there with a DNA report
and shoved it in his face.

He almost wet himself.

Are you a classmate of Hui-ru?

Are you two dating?

I don't discuss private matters.

Then you are.

Too bad I don't have a girl.

I only meet police officers and gangsters.

Ms. Lin, over here.

Hello.

Hello.

-What would you like?
-Orange juice.

Orange juice, please!

Okay. Right away.

-What's happening?
-Pardon me?

Mr. Yan,

I thought you needed divorce advice.

I'm almost done.

Since you're here,
let's talk about the case.

Look.

Everyone's here!

-Any messages?
-A few calls.

-What did you say?
-That you were on a business trip.

Keep doing that.

-Say I'll be back in a few days.
-Okay.

Mr. Jin.

You're back, Mr. Jin.

Where is he?

I don't know. He went out.

Who gave him the permission?

That's absence without leave.

Okay.

What are you all looking at?

Stop it!

Keep working!

Sir.

Mr. Jin is away on business, sir.

He's not here! Sir!

Sir!

Bing.

Mr. Jin.

You're back from your trip.

I'm just about to leave.

Haven't you left yet?

-No, Bing.
-Don't go.

I really have a business trip.

For real.

Mr. Jin, it's just a couple thousand.

Bing, please tell Mr. Huo
that I'm tight on money right now.

Give me a few more days.

I'll pay everything.

What did you say
when I lent you the money?

Bing, calm down. Don't be mad.

Just a few days. Three days.

Just three days.

Three days.

Bing, it's not the first time
I've borrowed money from Mr. Huo.

Look, I have a job.

I have a car, house and family.

Of course, I'll be able to pay you back.

You gave up that house last year.

Your car has over
30,000km on it. It's worthless.

A family?

Where are they?

Ran away already?

Fine.

I'll give you three days.

Only three days.

-Yes.
-Okay?

-Hello?
-Hey, Bing.

I got it this time.

Who was it?

The female owner
of a casserole restaurant.

I don't know if she knows Blondie.

Blondie was bragging
about how he would get her in bed.

Get everyone and head over there.

I'll be there soon.

You got lucky.

Don't hold back.

It's my treat today.

Thank you.

Do you want this?

-You can have it.
-Hey.

Didn't Mr. Yan tell us to not hold back?

Eat all you can.

It's best if I go bankrupt.

Get to the point.

First of all,

the cake is to thank you for coming here.

You had to work.

You had to be at the restaurant.

Thank you.

It's fine.

Of course, we should come.

Actually, I have something to tell you.

To be frank,

we suspect

that you guys killed

Blondie.

If that's what you think,

I don't feel like eating
this cake anymore.

Let me finish talking.

What I'm trying to say is

that both of you
are no longer our suspects.

What? We saw it on the CCTV footage.

They left the crime scene
around 10:23 p.m.

Right?

We now know that
Blondie died after 11:00 p.m.

They have alibis too.

Besides, the fingerprints we found
on the beer can weren't yours either.

So don't worry.
The case has nothing to do with you.

Although, I do have a question.

Do you guys know the Snowman?

Four years ago,
someone was killed in Daowai.

There was a snowman next to the body.

And a note next to the snowman.

It said, "Come and catch me."

The next year and the year after that,
two other people killed.

They also had snowmen
next to their bodies.

This is confidential.

Don't tell anyone.

Sorry.

I'll pick a less gruesome one.

But they're all pretty gory.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know

that the Blondie case will now
be investigated with the other four cases

because of the fingerprints.

The same person killed those five people.

Five?

Yes, five.

Who's the killer?

Well...

Goodness, we have an idea.

Liang.

Him.

Yu, what should we do?

When he showed us
the man's picture, I panicked.

Do you think they noticed?

I'm so dumb!

Calm down.

Remember what he told us.

One day, when you guys face the police,

you can panic,

you can gulp, you can tremble,
but insist that you don't know anything.

Don't forget that.

I think we're safe for now.

Really?

Think about it.

If they think Wen is the killer,
they'll just go get him.

Why did he show us the photo?

I guess,

to get a reaction out of us.

They did get that.

I'm sure of it.

Hui-ru, look at me. We'll be fine.

Listen to me.

Remember.

They don't have any evidence.

Or else they wouldn't use Wen on us.

But Yu, aren't you afraid?

Of course, I am.

But if we break down now,
everything will be ruined.

Hang in there.

Understand?

About that man...

Is he really the Snowman?

We'll worry about it later.

I'll take you back to the restaurant.

Don't tell me you didn't see it.

After I showed them the photo,

Hui-ru never touched the cake again.

This is pricey. Let's not waste it.

Go away.

Tell me, why do you think it's Wen?

This is his medical record.

Four years ago,
he was diagnosed with uremia.

He has a needle in his right hand.

Do you remember
when the first victim was killed?

Yes.

Around four years ago.

The killer was left-handed.

But this can't explain everything.

Besides that, what evidence
do you have against Wen?

Are you blind?

Did you see their faces
when I showed them Wen's photo?

Can expressions be evidence?

At least, it proves something.

I was right.

Yu and Hui-ru
are hiding something from us.

They've seen Wen before.

They've seen him?

Can that be evidence?

Not this again.

It's not all about evidence.

Then what's it about?

Instinct!

Let's forget about instinct for now.
Just think about it.

We have no evidence right now.

Do you really think they're innocent?

Hey, what are you doing?

Don't move!

Okay.

Where is Hui-ru?

She's not here.

Hey. What are you doing?

This is a misunderstanding.

No! Stop it!

Bing.

It's not here.

Where is it?

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

Do you know Blondie?

No.

Did you and your sister kill him?

No. This is a mistake.
I don't know anything.

-You're acting.
-No.

-Hold him!
-No!

No, listen to me!

-Excuse me.
-Excuse me, please.

Something happened.

Hey, calm down.

-My brother is in there.
-Hey!

They're with Blondie.

I'll go take a look.

You shouldn't go.

-They'll be suspicious. Stay here.
-Hey.

No! Please! Listen to me!

-It's a mistake!
-No!

No! Stop it!

Hey!

Please, let's talk it out.

You...

Are you Hui-ru?

We were looking for you.

Now you're here.

Did you kill Blondie?

No.

Where is it?

What do you want?

Give me Blondie's thing.

Give it to me.

What thing?

Both of you are good at acting.

I'm telling you now,

if you don't give me Blondie's thing,

I'll cut off your brother's legs.

No, please.

What do you want? Just tell me!

-Cut them off!
-No! Listen to me!

Don't do anything. I've called the police.

The police were listening.
