[Under the Skin]

[Episode 3]

Why did you kill him later?

You want to leave Beijiang.

I've already got the project.

I'm preparing to go to Shanghai to develop my career.

How much money do you want?

What I want isn't money.

You're a famous architect in Beijiang now,

with a promising career.

A lot of your colleagues must be jealous of you.

Say, if I post those good things online,

what would happen?

Those who were defeated by you before

will do whatever it takes

to trample you.

As long as you behave and stay with me,

you can continue to have this beautiful career of yours.

On that day, I made up my mind.

Instead of being always manipulated by him,

why not make him completely disappear from my world?

What about Liu Lianming? Why kill him?

Because... once a person...

becomes greedy,

it'll never be enough for him.

I'm guessing that you probably did something ugly,

but I didn't expect it to be a murder.

But don't worry. Since we come from the same hometown, I'll help you all the way to the end.

How about this? Just give me

Y200,000. I'll pretend I don't know anything.

I endured enough while living under Liang Yi's threats.

I even more so didn't want to see my hard work

be destroyed by Liu Lianming.

So I decided to solve the problem once and for all.

Where's the video?

Don't worry. We're all careful people.

One hands over the money, the other gives the merchandise.

Watch it carefully.

One click and it's erased.

Verify the content. If there's nothing wrong, then sign.

[The above written content...]

[The above written content is accurate. I hereby confirm.]

Can I ask you a question?

How did you discover my flaw?

Because someone saw the color of your nails.

The nail color of her left finger

- is brighter by a degree compared to the other fingernails. - What difference does that make?

Identifying colors is a basic skill for an art student.

A fingernail that is freshly painted

will be brighter than those fingernails that have been painted for a while.

There's also a slight gap between the nail polish and the original nail.

That's the trace of a growing nail.

But her left fingernail doesn't have such a trace.

Her left fingernail is freshly manicured.

So she polished off the cyanide on her painted fingernail

and re-applied the nail polish.

I used to think that...

once I possessed this face,

I could achieve

all the success that I dreamed of.

But now I miss my former self even more.

My original self had a square face,

with a nose that's a little wide.

When I was young, I had very low self-esteem. But I always believed that

as long as I worked hard and was good enough,

I could conquer the world with my talent.

I drew another portrait to give you.

Your original self

reminded me of her.

Madame Curie?

Yes.

She was the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize.

Her achievement far exceeded that of most men in her same era.

In my mind, she represents the power of women.

From your work,

I also saw a similar power.

It originated from your talent and ambition,

but not from your exterior appearance.

I believe that the original you

would have become an internationally famous architect someday.

Thank you.

The third lie...

is the "Death of Marat" itself. (T/N: The painting depicted Marat's murder by Corday during the French Revolution)

You didn't expect that, did you? Right from the start,

the painter had been lying to everyone.

The crucial secret is in the note held in Marat's hand.

In the painting, the note

is written with Corday's plea for Marat's help.

Marat was about to give help, but that's not the reality. [July 13th, 1793. Marieanne Charlotte Corday to citizen Marat. Because I am unhappy, I have a right to your help]

Before Marat was killed, his last words left to the world

was actually a list of people to be executed.

This is the truth that's hidden under the note.

On the execution list, it's written all the names of dissenters who Marat was ready to eliminate.

Corday entered into danger by herself

in order to stop Marat from killing.

In court, Corday said,

"I killed one person

in order to save 100,000 people."

From ancient cave drawings to Rembrandt's Night Watch,

painters have undertaken the mission to preserve actual scenes

throughout history.

Even though, here, the original content was only slightly altered,

it changed Marat from a mass killer to a philanthropist,

and tainted a heroine with disgrace.

In paintings, the history and the scenes are a mixture of truth and untruth.

We may have to spend a lifetime to discern the differences.

You did a good job with the case.

I heard that you two made a bet.

Du Cheng, if you bet, you must be willing to accept defeat.

- Do you accept it? - Yes.

Of course I do.

I must obey the bureau's assignment of offices.

I have no objections.

This is more like a team leader's attitude.

Shen Yi.

You just entered the bureau and aren't experienced when it comes to the battles on the front line.

You must spend more time with the veteran colleagues and learn more from them, okay?

Yes, I will.

Bureau Director Zhang, Shen Yi just arrived.

Even though he performed well this time, he is still not familiar with how we handle cases.

Therefore,

why don't I take him under my wing?

Sure.

I still believe in Comrade Shen Yi.

Jiang Feng! Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng.

Have you heard?

Captain Cheng and Instructor Shen are becoming partners.

What?

I knew.

- You already knew? - Yeah.

You knew, but didn't tell me!

You didn't ask me.

But given the situation they are in right now,

can they really partner up?

You don't understand.

Captain Cheng is putting his friend behind his back, and his enemy in front of him.

It's to monitor him better.

Monitor?

What is there about Instructor Shen to monitor?

- Do you think� - Li Han.

- I will always be that one behind you, your... - Enemy.

...friend.

You look happy.

Is it because the case was solved?

You could say that.

How's that newcomer Shen Yi?

Those recent portraits have been passed around in the entire bureau.

No matter how well he draws, in the end, it's still up to us to catch them.

You have a problem with him.

Yes.

It's because of Captain Lei's case?

You should know clearly about that case,

he was also manipulated.

I don't understand it.

He can easily draw a disfigured woman who covered half her face with a mask.

It's been seven years.

Why can't he draw that woman whom he drew Captain Lei for?

The Du Cheng that I know

won't always be complaining.

[2009 Outstanding Employee Award, Lei Yifei]

You...

want to take it?

Director Zhang asked me to pick you up. She said there's a case that needs you.

[2009 Outstanding Employee Award, Lei Yifei]

Last night, the Fengmei Road Police Station received a robbery report. There were four witnesses at the scene.

Three painters and one grocery shop owner.

They asked the three painters to each draw a portrait.

None of them could get a grasp of the suspect for arrest. So they...

- We had to bother the branch office again. - No problem.

Thanks.

My drawing resembles the best among the three!

What's the noise?

How are you qualified to be called a painter?

The three of them drew three different faces.

They argued all night. Each one of them says he drew the best iresemblance.

You know them?

They're all reputed painters and have held exhibits.

Where are the drawings?

Take a look.

They're all totally different.

This one is the worst. How can we find anyone with that?

This is the video from a nearby area's surveillance system. It's very blurred.

We can basically see that the man wears glasses.

You're wrong. That man isn't wearing glasses at all.

Isn't that a reflection from the lens of the glasses?

This reflection isn't caused by lenses.

It's a red-eye phenomenon caused by people's pupils instinctively widening in the darkness.

Additionally, the equipment is old and has too much image noise.

That's why you'd think it's a reflection of eyeglass lenses.

Besides, if this person really was wearing eyeglasses,

why didn't he hold onto his eyeglasses when he was taking his clothes off?

Xiao Zhang, get the video.

Rewind a little to let me take another look.

You know quite a lot about surveillance systems.

Isn't it my basic duty to draw from surveillance videos?

Oh right. What about the fourth witness?

He's been questioned, but he couldn't describe much.

After half a day, all he could say was that the guy looked average. It wasn't useful at all.

Who says it's not useful?

An average appearance means

this man's features are well proportioned.

It's a very important detail for drawing a portrait.

Please rewind it for me. Thanks.

Okay, stop.

The three of you can go back. We've captured the guy.

- You caught him? - You caught him? Whose drawing did you use?

None of yours. This is the one we used.

The lines are very simple, clean, and smooth.

There aren't any redundant lines.

This reminds me of someone.

Shen Yi!

Captain Cheng, new tea-coffee has arrived; young jasmine flavor.

Want to drink one together?

Captain Cheng.

I think there's definitely something wrong with Shen Yi.

You think so, too?

I just think he's too amazing.

He can draw anything. It doesn't make any sense.

I'm not talking about that.

Think about it. He's a young artist with a promising career,

suddenly he becomes an art instructor at the police academy.

And now he's a sketch artist.

Right. Why is that?

Captain Cheng.

It was your first time working on a case with Shen Yi alone.

How was it?

Drink your coffee. You're full of energy, aren't you?

Fill out the report.

Hello?

What?

Properly seal off the scene.

Put away your phones.

- Captain Cheng. - What's going on?

They were expanding the school field and dug out some bones.

Tell those students to stop taking pictures.

- Okay. - Stop looking. Head home.

Stop looking.

You got here quite fast. You rode a bike here faster than I drove.

There's traffic on the road, driving would be slower.

Excuse me.

What's going on here?

The construction workers discovered the skeleton while digging up the foundation.

They didn't report this until news got around from the contractor to the school.

They didn't take any measures to protect the crime scene.

We're going to need some time to find any clues.

Jiang Feng, contact the principal, evacuate the students

and delete all photos that were taken. No news can be leaked to the public.

Okay.

It's a female skeleton that's been dead for around ten years.

There's an old scratch under the fifth rib on the left, which was probably caused by a long and narrow knife.

The organs have already decayed and disappeared.

From the location, it appears that it was a fatal stab to the heart.

Can you declare that it wasn't a natural death?

From the development of her pubic symphysis (fibrocartilaginous joint), the deceased was no older than twenty years old.

But judging from the degree of wear of the molars, the age should be over forty years old.

Although they are both females, the bones should belong to two different people.

One an adolescent girl and the other a middle-aged woman.

The bones don't lie.

So the skeleton was pieced together with the bones of two different individuals?

[Beijiang City Bureau of Public Security - Beijiang Branch] [Criminal Investigation Unit]

The skeleton belonged to two different deceased individuals.

The most important thing for us now is to identify the deceased as soon as possible.

It shouldn't be difficult to do a DNA comparison, right?

We'd be wasting our time if the deceased's DNA isn't in the database.

We've seen a lot

of these old pending cases.

We've already sent our people to go through missing persons,

but I don't know when they'll find something.

I think we should start with the skull.

If someone could restore the face just from the skull alone,

we'd find something sooner. Right?

- Shen Yi, can you� - Yes.

Give it some thought before answering me.

Didn't you ask me because you were hoping I'd say yes?

I hope you don't wait to come up with a drawing after we have already cracked the case.

Meeting adjourned.

Xiao Shen.

You still have a lot to experience.

I'm just saying.

[Nine Phases Diagram] (T/N: Book that describes nine stages of decomposition)

Come in.

How's your drawing going?

I'm trying to use the Nine Phases Corpse Diagram to regress the skull.

I'm currently at the decaying stage.

Look at this.

That's great. You brought the skull.

Touch here.

Here.

The number's been worn off.

How's it going?

We're close.

It doesn't seem like it.

No, we're close.

You're just repeating what she said. Will you be able to draw it?

I don't need to draw it anymore. We've already identified it.

Look here. There are some signs of wear.

Someone rubbed the number off the surface of the skull with sandpaper.

What do you mean?

Some of the skulls at the art academy are donated human skulls.

They all have donation serial numbers

written on them with a special kind of ink. You would have to forcibly rub it off

if you wanted to remove it completely.

So this is a real skull used for education.

It's not difficult to figure out where it came from.

Really?

We had these skulls in medical school, too.

We can check the school's art classroom first.

- The police. - The police are here.

What for?

The frontal bone is slightly round, and the brow ridge is smooth.

Typical female characteristics.

It doesn't have wisdom teeth yet, so it was probably an adolescent girl.

According to the length and circumference of the skull, her height was between 1.69 and 1.72 meters (5'5 and 5'6 ft).

The surface of the skull is smooth, and her body was thin.

This skull doesn't have a number. It's definitely not your average teaching aid.

What are you doing?

Right. Why are you touching our teaching aid?

This isn't an actual teaching aid. It's a human skull.

We know. It's what we usually draw.

Can you guys please get out of the way? We're drawing.

Right.

All right. Class dismissed for now.

I'm the art teacher at No. 7 High School, Qu Lanxin.

The dean's office told me about the situation. I'm here to cooperate with your investigation.

Do you know anything about this skull?

The medical school donated this special teaching aid to us.

The students here have been practicing their sketching with it for the past ten years to prepare for the art exam.

Did you not notice that there's no donation serial number on the skull?

I was transferred here four years ago. I don't know much about what happened before.

I saw a serial number on the torso before, so I thought the skull was a part of that.

We have to take this skull back to identify who it belonged to.

Is it really possible to sketch what they looked like when they were alive just with the skull?

Portraits were the portrayal of a person in ancient times.

What I'm doing is help her tell the world who she is

one last time.

I'd like to see the finished sketch.

The tests have now confirmed that the skull and skeleton belonged to the same person.

Next, we just need to input the data in regard to skull width and length,

as well as cheekbone height into the computer,

and the AI will be able to simulate what the person looked like when they were alive.

Can Shen Yi do this faster than the computer can?

Who on earth are you?

Captain Cheng, it's done.

What's this?

The portrait restored by the AI.

The degree of restoration is already pretty high.

Turn it off.

It's quite terrifying.

Captain Cheng, these are the photos of the city's missing persons in the past ten years.

I got all the photos for those under 25.

I don't think Shen Yi will be able to draw it.

Just using the skull? Why not let the suspect turn himself in.

Don't be so sure.

Remember these facial photos.

Also, memorize the identity information. We have to rely on ourselves to crack the case in the end.

Okay.

By the way, give Shen Yi a copy, too.

Why?

To be fair. I don't want him saying that I picked on him when he loses.

Okay, Captain Cheng.

She's taking the other team's side.

Enter, please.

How's it going, Instructor Shen?

I'm marking the bone points.

These are the photos that Captain Cheng found

of all the missing females under the age of 25 within the past ten years.

Thanks, but I can't look at these photos right now.

Why? Don't you get a better feel by seeing people's photos?

I'm not sure if I would've been able to sketch anything just using my imagination without this skull,

but now that I have this skull, I can determine the direction and thickness of the muscles

through the measurement of the thickness of the soft tissue.

I don't want to be influenced by looking at these photos.

I already have her image in my head.

Instructor Shen, you're really awesome.

You can work then. I'll leave now.

- Good luck! - Thanks.

Have you finished drawing yet?

Ren Xiaoxuan.

Ren Xiaoxuan, born July 9, 1996, in this city.

She disappeared ten years ago when she was 15.

In September 2010, she transferred to Beijiang No. 7 High School for her first year.

She transferred out in June 2011.

The case was reported the evening of June 24, 2011.

The person who reported the case was her mother, Liang Junqiu. The result from the forensic medical examiner

says that Ren Xiaoxuan's time of death is very likely to have been in June 2011.

So it's very likely that she was already killed when she was reported missing.

Yes. Additionally, the police station found out through its inquiry that

Ren Xiaoxuan was six when her parents divorced. She continued to live with her mother.

She's said to have been solitary and withdrawn since childhood and didn't have many friends.

Her classmates and teacher all thought she was too sensitive and not easy to get along with.

This case is complicated.

Adolescent kids are naturally sensitive.

She was also in a single-parent home and could have easily developed a solitary personality.

Without any close relationships, it'll be difficult to find effective clues.

Plus, so many years have passed, so some of these people may not be in this city anymore.

They might not even be in the country anymore.

The scope of the investigation is too large.

Where are you going?

Going to the school to ask around.

Disorganized and undisciplined.

Xiao Shen comes from an artistic background.

He's capable and has a personality. It's normal.

Solving a case doesn't rely on personality.

If he's truly capable, he should bring back some useful clues.

I didn't expect that you'd complete the drawing so quickly.

Ren Xiaoxuan?

You know her?

Yes.

I remember you said that you recently transferred here not long ago.

I also graduated from No. 7 High School.

At that time, she and I were both in the art interest group.

When she transferred here, I was a senior in high school.

I saw these wood plaques when I came last time. They looked interesting.

These are the desk tops of abandoned school desks.

The art students liked carving words on them.

Year after year.

When I started working at the school, I thought these words and drawings were really interesting.

I thought it'd be a shame to throw them away, so I collected them and made this cultural wall.

This corridor carries the past 10-some years of our school.

Where's your desk top? Which one is it?

I was a good student in the eye of the teachers.

My desktop was clean, so I couldn't put it up here.

Oh, yes! How did you see Ren Xiaoxuan as a person?

She was skinny and didn't like to talk.

Ren Xiaoxuan's home is here.

Her mother remarried five years ago and had another child.

Who is it?

- You are... - We're from the Beijiang Branch's Criminal Investigation Unit.

Are you Ren Xiaoxuan's mother?

You...

Where did you find her?

At Beijiang No. 7 High School.

Underneath the exercise field.

Ten years.

She was actually so close to home.

Ren Xiaoxuan frequently transferred schools.

Was there a problem?

This child had always been sensitive since she was little.

Not easy to get along with.

Any school that she went to,

she couldn't stay for long.

Before she disappeared, was there anything unusual?

I can't remember clearly anymore.

She was always by herself.

I never knew what she was thinking all day long.

Ever since her father and I divorced,

she rarely talked to me.

I know that she hated me.

Have you kept any of the stuff that she used for school?

Take all of these back to the bureau.

Okay.
