All the witnesses said you smashed your classmate's head with a brick.

They want to sue you for assault.

I know you are very angry.

But if you don't tell us what happened, we can't help you.

Red cap, black-framed eyewear, silver necklace, curly hair...

Red cap, black-framed eyewear, silver necklace, curly hair...

Red cap, black-framed eyewear, silver necklace, curly hair...

The scene was a big mess.

But you remember all the persons of interest.

Now that we've got them, let's start.

Can you tell me what happened?

Come back.

You want to run away?

Weirdo.

Running away?

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Tell me how you smashed him with this brick.

- Don't touch me. - What did you say?

Weirdo.

You raised your hand at me? Fuck!

Weirdo.

Weirdo...

Weirdo.

They were calling me weirdo. I wanted them to stop.

Don't call me weirdo!

You are just different, not a weirdo.

You are not a weirdo.

How did you solve this puzzle?

It's just like solving this.

Rearrange the stuff in your brain

and put them in order,

which came first and which came later.

Then we can find the answer.

Let's try again.

The more details you find,

the closer we are to the actual scene.

Weirdo...

Weirdo...

On the ground.

The brick on the ground?

On the ground.

There was another brick on the ground.

There was another brick on the ground.

Another brick on the ground...

A reconstruction of the scene

can tell us how the clues were connected.

What did you see before the brick hit the ground?

Start from the last clue and retrace everything.

Find the sequence of events.

Find the missing pieces connecting the cause and effect.

Then we can know the whole truth.

The one who hit him with a brick...

was not me.

It was him.

How did you know?

I didn't.

Police work is very simple.

If we collect all the clues and retrace them,

we can find out where they come from.

To find out what has happened,

we must first reconstruct the correct crime scene.

You just did it.

You are very special.

Don't waste your talent.

The victim is Liu Shu-yen. Both eyes were removed.

The muscles around the eyes were cut smoothly.

She suffered greatly before she died.

Besides that, I did not find any obvious wounds that could be fatal.

Whether hemorrhagic shock is the cause of death

will need to wait for the autopsy.

Could it be the same perpetrator who killed Yuan Chi-ling?

I can't be sure to a medical certainty.

But the MOs in both cases were equally clean and skillful.

Rigor has just began in her fingers.

My estimate is that she died only 2 to 4 hours ago.

Fang Yi-jen.

I let you stay here,

but it doesn't mean I don't suspect you at all.

Liu Shu-yen's eyeballs were removed and these were inserted in their place.

Holy shit!

The killer might send the eyeballs to her family.

I'll go there with a team.

Fang Yi-jen.

Why are the badge and the digital recorder in the photo Hsiao Min-chun sent you?

They must be connected to the people in this photo.

We must find the two people still alive quickly.

You mean Yuan Chi-ling was connected to the digital recorder

Liu Shu-yen to the badge,

and the other two to the rings?

- Will they be killed too? - Very likely.

Since we reopened the investigation,

three persons have already died.

The killer's motive is very clear.

And that is to kill

people who were related to Hsiao Chia-ying.

Fang Yi-jen.

Do you still believe Lin Ching-jui's report was flawless?

Sergeant Lin's report is not directly related to these homicides!

Have you ever considered

these people very likely knew what had happened back then

and were executed?

Do you really believe the report was flawless,

or do you just trust Lin Ching-jui?

Date of the crime was March 2.

Hsiao Chia-ying has been dead for 15 years.

Why did Hsiao Min-chun...

start sending this photo to Fang Yi-jen just five years ago?

I checked out the album.

A lot of information is missing as it has been a long time.

The back end info shows that other than the creator of the album,

six others have administration privilege.

So, seven in total.

We know Hsiao Chia-ying, Chen Yang-yu, Yuan Chi-ling and Liu Shu-yen are dead.

The other two are still unidentified.

IDENTITY? IDENTITY?

The last one took this picture.

Who would these three be?

I just saw an anonymous IP address at the back end.

Someone accessed the album seven days ago and yesterday.

These were the dates that Yuan Chi-ling and Liu Shu-yen were killed.

Could this anonymous IP belong to one of the three people?

It is possible.

How can we find them?

First, we must find out the relationship between them.

Every homicide has a reason behind it.

PROFESSIONAL CLEANING, LO SHIH-HSIEN

Excuse me.

Anyone home?

Hi. I want to work here.

Are you still a student? You don't go to school?

I am over 20.

Do you have any experience?

No, I don't.

I used to work at a club.

Working here is not like working as a club hostess.

Can you handle it?

Why are you still standing there? Help me clean up the mess.

Killing someone is easy.

But have you ever thought

about how hard it is to clean up the mess?

Being alive is harder than being dead.

I don't understand.

Just because I am different,

I deserve to be picked on and bullied?

There are values we need to defend.

I know my death can't change the mistake I made in the past.

You will always remember my brightest moments.

- Join us for the photo. - Okay.

- It's not like we're ostracizing you. - Okay, look this way.

One, two, three.

CHEN YANG-YU, YUAN CHI-LING, LIU SHU-YEN HSIAO CHIA-YING, IDENTITY? IDENTITY?

The public memorial ceremony will begin.

The first group to pay respect,

Pinglin High School, please come forward.

Offer the incense.

Bow, return the incense.

Offer the flowers.

First bow.

Second bow.

Third bow.

Finished.

The family responds...

Are you sure the killer will show up?

The next group to pay respect, LiuShuYen Studio, please come forward.

I left a message about Liu Shu-yen's memorial service,

but moved it 2 hours earlier.

So the person showing up now...

may be the killer.

Since we can't come up with a better idea,

we might as well trust Fang Yi-jen.

It will pay off.

Mr. Chang, a man just came.

- Is he the one? - I am not sure.

Please offer this to Mr. Liu.

Okay, thank you.

Sir, please come in.

- This way, please come. - Come in, please.

Don't run!

The rest of you go that way!

Liao, go that way.

Stop running!

Let's go this way.

What actually happened back then?

Why did you kill Hsiao Min-chun and frame me?

Did you kill Yuan Chi-ling and Liu Shu-yen?

Did you kill them?

It wasn't me.

I didn't kill them.

It was Lin Ming-cheng.

He also killed Kuo Hsin-pai.

Lin Ming-cheng killed all of them!

Fang Yi-jen!

Stop running.

Stop!

Kuan!

Are you okay?

Okay.

Kuan.

- I'll get the medication for you. - Thank you.

The killer is still at large. You won't catch him sitting here.

I'm fine. You go after the suspect, okay?

Why haven't your wife and son come?

My wife and I are separated, and my son doesn't want to see me.

So I moved out. That's all.

Shit! Can we not talk about this, buddy?

Hsiao-meng doesn't want to come home either.

- Chief Chao. - Hi.

We've found out the identity of the one who got away.

His name is Wu Chun-lu. He has a record of drug abuse.

What is his relationship with Hsiao Chia-ying and Liu Shu-yen?

We are still investigating but...

He left an interesting message at the memorial service.

LIN MING-CHENG WAS THE KILLER

Lin Ming-cheng?

Isn't Lin Ching-jui's son called Lin Ming-cheng?

Hsiao-meng.

Ms. Hai-yin.

What's wrong with you?

I'm feeling unwell suddenly.

Is your part time job too tiring?

I can ask around for some jobs.

That's not necessary.

I want to continue doing this job.

I'm not used to it yet, but I'll be fine.

Is there food on my face?

No.

I feel like you seem to know what you want to do now.

Ms. Hai-yin.

Have you been okay with Fang Yi-jen lately?

I have no idea.

You know your dad.

Whenever I feel closer to him,

our relationship gets cold again.

I've been thinking in recent years.

Does he really understand me?

Maybe I don't understand him enough.

But anyway, our relationship cannot stay this way forever.

Whatever the case, you and I will always be friends.

I want to tell you...

I am going to work for the Foundation.

Congratulations on your new job.

Would you like to ask me anything?

Excuse me, is the CEO in the office now?

Who is asking?

Criminal Investigation Bureau.

- Please cooperate. - Just a moment.

Mr. Lin, you have visitors.

Please come in.

Ms. Hsu, why are you here?

Mr. Lin, I'll leave you with them then.

It's all right. You can stay.

I believe it won't take long. Please have a seat.

It's fine. We'll just stand.

Allow me to introduce.

This is Hsu Hai-yin, the PR Director of our Foundation.

In the future, you can discuss with her any matter related to the Foundation.

Wait! You seem to know one another.

I cooperated with Mr. Fang and Officer Liao on a story previously.

You cooperated? More like you threatened us.

Mr. Lin, I'm sorry.

This is the why we've dropped by today.

LIN MING-CHENG WAS THE KILLER

Well...

Wu Chun-lu wrote the note.

He's one of the founders of Sevenleaves Foundation.

Officers, do you think

that I was involved in a homicide?

Mr. Lin, we...

Have you seen these two photos?

Do you know Yuan Chi-ling and Liu Shu-yen?

Where were you at noon the day before yesterday and on Saturday night?

I was here on both occasions.

The employees here can testify to that.

Why did he say you were the killer?

He said you also killed Kuo Hsin-pai. Have you heard of this name?

Maybe...

he wants to seek revenge.

Wu Chun-lu was a drug addict.

He had been in and out of the rehabilitation center.

You must have known that.

He used to have a tough time.

It was not easy for him to quit.

We found this foundation

because we hoped other kids wouldn't have to experience that.

We had worked hard together for a while.

But... he later got into drugs again.

His ex-girlfriend, Kuo Hsin-pai, was also a drug addict.

She died 5 years ago, but Chun-lu could never accept it.

That's why he got into drugs again.

I wanted to protect the Foundation, so I asked him to leave.

When was the last time you saw him?

I haven't seen him since he left the Foundation a few years ago.

I don't know where he is now.

Where are you going?

- Restroom. - You go home by yourself.

Are you working for Lin Ming-cheng now?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

Does it matter to you if I told you or not?

You suspect Lin Ming-cheng was involved in those homicides?

Prosecutor's Office has doubt

about the report of the a 15-year-old case.

The officer-in-charge was Lin Ching-jui, Lin Ming-cheng's father.

Are you okay?

I am fine.

I am fine.

I thought about what you said last time.

Can you tell me what I should do?

I know Lin Ching-jui is very important to you.

Everything is very important to you.

But I really need more time to think this through.

So let's handle it this way for the moment.

I should give you back the key to your place.

DR. HSUEH

You can keep it for now.

Go ahead.

That's all for now.

Now you work for Lin Ming-cheng.

You have to be careful.

Don't trust him too much.

Hello?

Let me tell you

your dad has been trying to harm me!

He has been trying to harm me!

Your dad...

has been trying to harm me!

Mr. Lin.

I know what the police asked you

is your personal business.

But we should get certain things straight now.

Last time, you saw Wu Chun-lu at the Rehabilitation Center, right?

I didn't tell the police everything,

because I know Chun-lu might have many personal problems,

but he would not kill another person.

But he accused you of murder.

I betrayed him when I asked him to leave.

So I can't betray him again now that he desperately needs help.

If he was involved in those homicides,

what you did can't be good for the Foundation.

I'm sorry but I have a meeting coming up.

Hai-yin?

I know it would be difficult for you,

but I hope this matter won't affect the fundraising dinner.

Ultimately, those kids who are in need of our help

will lose hope.

Didn't I told you...

that I wanted a lady cleaner?

Does it matter?

My daughter was raped by a dirty man.

Although she is dead now,

I still don't want a man to touch her stuff!

Madam.

Your daughter is gone.

She will not care about that.

Shut up!

Get out!

Mrs. Chang.

Don't worry. I will clean up your daughter's room.

Don't worry.

I'll accompany her on the last stretch of her journey.

I will get started. Excuse me.

Thank you.

When would be the next job?

I'VE FOUND THE JOB I ENJOY DOING.

Mr. Liu, excuse me, please sign here.

My daughter is already dead.

Why are you here now?

Have you seen these two persons in the photo,

or heard of the name, Kuo Hsin-pai?

I don't know when the photo was taken!

I also don't know when my daughter went out with all these friends!

I don't know anything!

I didn't care about my daughter!

I got drunk everyday!

I was an awful dad who didn't even notice my daughter hadn't been home for days.

Is this what you want to hear?

My daughter... My daughter will never come home now.

I won't have the chance to tell my daughter,

"Dad doesn't drink anymore.

Dad has quit drinking.

Dad won't get drunk scolding and hitting you anymore."

What are the two of you doing here?

I got a tip that there was a package containing Liu Shu-yen's eyeball tissue.

I thought I should investigate it at the scene.

I ran into Fang Yi-jen here.

Dr. Hsueh.

In the future, if you aren't asked to come to the crime scene,

please don't come.

It may cause unnecessary misunderstanding.

How about you?

What excuse do you have?

Wu Chun-lu's ex-girlfriend, Kuo Hsin-pai. Have you looked into her death?

Do you know who Kuo Hsin-pai is?

She is the sixth person on the photo.

She died of unnatural cause 5 years ago.

Would you like to guess

who investigated her case?

That's right. It was Lin Ching-jui.

CASE OFFICER: LIN CHING-JUI

It's him again.

Don't you find it odd?

The old case was connected to Hsiao Min-chun,

Yuan Chi-ling and Liu Shu-yen.

They were all killed.

Even the Kuo Hsin-pai case

was connected to Lin Ching-jui.

Do you want to convince me

that all these are just coincidences?

I need to take a look at the Kuo Hsin-pai case.

Lin Ching-jui was your teacher.

I don't trust you.

You had better leave this case alone.

If I find out that you have tampered with the case,

I will not let you,

Chao Cheng-kuan and Hsueh Hsin-ning...

get away with it.

I need to take a look at that file.

Is there any way for that to happen?

I'll ask Liao to take it to the lab. You can ask Dr. Hsueh for it.

The report says that Kuo Hsin-pai was in a drug deal

and got into a fight with her dealer.

In the end, the dealer shot her.

The police found a few suspects back then,

but because there were no CCTVs nor witnesses at the crime scene,

they did not catch the murderer.

What's wrong?

Fang Yi-jen, what have you noticed?

The bullet penetrated her chest and came out of her back.

Then the bullet hit the wall. The blood splattered.

There were two pools of blood on the ground

and continuous blood drops too.

As she was a drug addict, needle marks were all over her body.

But on the back of her neck...

There was a fresh antemortem mark of injection.

Usually a gunshot wound through the heart

will result in cardiogenic shock and a quick death.

So this injection

could not possibly be administered by the victim.

If someone was in the crime scene after she got shot,

how could the report back then neglect to mention it?

Do you think

this case has been tampered with like the Hsiao Chia-ying case?

HSINCHUAN TUNNEL GUNSHOT CASE CASE OFFICER: LIN CHING-JUI

Find the evidence. Reconstruct the scene. Get the truth.

Find the evidence. Reconstruct the scene. Get the truth.

Fang Yi-jen.

We found some bullets at Wu Chun-lu's house,

but we didn't find the gun.

All six persons in the photo died one by one.

Could Wu Chun-lu have killed them all?

Lin Ming-cheng killed all of them!

Wu Chun-lu was a drug addict.

His ex-girlfriend, Kuo Hsin-pai, was also a drug addict.

She died 5 years ago, but Chun-lu could never accept it.

The injection in the neck was an abnormality.

What was the motive for that?

Wu Chun-lu and Lin Ming-cheng were both lying.

Someone must know the truth.

Find the evidence. Reconstruct the scene. Get the truth.

Wu Chun-lu's rehabilitation period was not over.

Yet he showed up elsewhere two days before that.

Would you like to explain?

A few nights ago, the staff were busy taking care of other patients.

He ran away.

Mr. Chang, take a look at this.

Lin Ming-cheng.

He had seen Wu Chun-lu, but he lied to us.

- Ms. Wang. - Hello.

Please check in here.

Okay.

It's almost time.

- Can you handle here? - Okay.

Everyone sitting here,

including me, is very fortunate.

We are successful.

Everything looks bright to us.

But I would like you to imagine this.

You're only 17 years old.

You've just run away from a broken home.

You're all you've got.

Nobody is helping you.

You don't even know how to ask for help.

Once, a runaway girl like that entered my life.

She regarded me as a friend.

But back then...

I did not help her.

I saw you rehearsing, so I didn't want to interrupt.

Chiang Hsiao-meng.

- What are you doing here? - What are you doing here?

Why didn't you respond to my texts?

Where do you stay now?

Do you stay at Sevenleaves Foundation?

- So what? - Why do you stay at the Foundation?

Only people from broken homes stay there! Why do you live there?

So our family is not broken?

You mentioned a 17-year-old runaway girl.

Was she the reason you founded this foundation?

When I was young, I did a lot of stupid things.

But I was fortunate enough to start afresh again.

So I hope everybody has that opportunity to start afresh.

So you've been helping all these children

to mitigate your regret that you didn't help in the past?

Everything downstairs is almost ready.

Let's get started.

You go ahead.

I'll get myself ready. I will be there soon.

- See you later. - Okay.

Hello?

You are at my place?

What do you want?

We want to see the person in charge.

We're having a fundraising dinner. This is not possible. Sorry.

Don't give me that!

Listen up.

We are investigating a homicide.

If anything goes wrong, will you take the responsibility?

Don't tell me that it's not possible.

You have to work with me, not the other way around!

- What's your attitude? - Stop, what's going on?

Ms. Hsu.

No, PR Director Hsu.

What brought you here today?

We're here to take Ming-cheng in for questioning.

Didn't you just ask him questions last time?

Our lawyer will contact you if you need more info.

Lin Ming-cheng is a person of interest in this homicide.

Don't give me that runaround.

Do you have a warrant?

Before we kick off our event,

let's welcome Mr. Lin Ming-cheng, CEO of Sevenleaves Social Charity Foundation,

to give us a speech.

Kuan, we can come back later.

We're about to start our event.

Please come back after the fundraising dinner.

We will fully cooperate.

Maybe the applause is not warm enough.

Let's give a bigger round of applause

to welcome Mr. Lin Ming-cheng on stage and give us a speech.

Take care of them.

Mr. Lin is not here?

Please be patient for a little while.

The event will continue momentarily.

Liao! Something is wrong. Go!

Let us through.

Fuck!

- What do we do? - Call for backup.

Seal all the entrances. Nobody leaves!

Yes, sir!

You two together, guard the entrances.

Come on!

Hello?

Fang Yi-jen?

- Where are you, Hai-yin? - I'm driving to Lin Ming-cheng's place.

He just answered a phone call. I'm worried it could be Wu Chun-lu.

Listen to me, Hai-yin. Don't go there.

It might be dangerous.

Wait for the police.

Don't worry. I will be fine.

Don't go there.

Hai-yin!

Chun-lu.

You have killed enough people already.

I won't allow you to continue.
