[Under the Skin]

[Episode 4]

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

We went to Ren Xiaoxuan's home last night, we didn't find any useful clues.

Right now, we have a few questionable points.

According to Ren Xiaoxuan's mother, she's eccentric and unsociable.

Then, what's the relationship between her and the murderer?

Second. Why did they switch out the skull?

- Those two points. Also� - The suspect chose to bury the body in the school field.

What's their relationship with the school?

Correct.

Skeletonization takes at least one to two years,

so when did they switch out the skull?

Correct.

Do you have more questions?

I'm done.

So what we need to focus now is:

1. We need to interview Ren Xiaoxuan's former classmates.

Try to find someone who might have any leads.

2. Find out, as fast as possible, when they switched out the skull,

in order to scale down the search of the suspects.

Captain Cheng, what does he mean by that?

We haven't even finished the meeting, you'd better supervise him.

What do you know? Artists are all like this.

It's fine. Dismissed.

I hadn't told you my home address, how did you find it?

The orchid.

Orchid?

- Please come in. - Thanks.

When we met the first time at the art studio, there was a painting on the wall,

the drawing was of this street.

The most eye-catching feature is the balcony with blossoming orchids.

You did that painting, didn't you?

How did you know?

You have a callus on the outer side of your left pinky.

On the wall, only that painting's brushstroke

was from left to right. Only a lefty would draw it that way.

Your observation is quite meticulous.

You live by yourself?

With him.

Sit wherever you like, I'll bring you a glass of water.

Thank you.

This string art is very interesting.

When the wind blows, her hair will flutter slightly with the wind.

- It's like... - Like she's alive.

When ordinary people hear that, they would be scared.

Painters create a wonderland.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

But it's unfinished.

I haven't decided how to draw her face.

Take a seat.

Why are you here today?

It's like this, I want to ask if all your school's art students,

have sketched that donated skull?

Of course. However,

they wouldn't have believed they were sketching her skull.

Do you still have those sketches?

They should all be at school.

Do you mind taking me to your school?

Let's go.

Our school's art students have consistently scored well.

Over the past few years, those who've been admitted to the eight major art academies are more than 200.

Are you thinking of using the sketches to determine when the skull was replaced?

For those students who managed to get into the 8 major art universities, their drawings must be meticulous.

My only concern is whether the sketches have been preserved or not.

The art studio typically keeps a few sketches from the students as souvenirs.

I found it. It should be this box.

These are the sketches from the students in recent years.

[10.26.2017 | 06/01/2014]

[09.09.2016 | 05.04.2011 | 03.28.2017]

[03.28.2017]

Looking at the brushstrokes, you must've drawn this one.

I was itching to draw during class,

while the students were sketching, so I did one myself.

Now that you've seen all the drawings, can you identify when the skull was swapped out?

That row.

Enlarged eye socket, higher forehead, slimmer lower jaws.

The date could be before or after October 2017.

Looks like the one you drew

was also not of the donated specimen.

They had already switched out Ren Xiaoxuan's skull.

[10.15.2017]

You've sketched so many skulls. What for?

- Those are all sketches of Ren Xiaoxuan's skull. - So?

Based on the drawing dates, we can prove that the skull was switched before or after October 2017.

Ren Xiaoxuan went missing in 2011.

Six years later, they came back and swapped out the skull.

Could this person be someone from the school?

I asked Teacher Qu.

The only people who can go in and out of the art studio is the art teacher and the art students.

Meaning the person who swapped the skull

is most likely the group of people within this period.

Captain Cheng.

Ren Xiaoxuan's mother is here.

That day, after you left, I went through a lot of stuff.

Take a look at this. My child wrapped it with a book cover.

I had always thought it was a textbook, but it turns out it was a diary.

In this diary, it recored a lot of bullying incidents at school.

There seems to have been a boy who was close to her.

These are the desk tops of abandoned school desks.

The art students liked carving words on them.

This diary has 224 entries.

There were 89 entries after starting high school. There are roughly about 60,000 words.

This diary is a breakthrough.

It contains a lot of critical people and key messages.

For example, she had been bullied for a long time.

Look at this description. She seems to have been molested by someone, right?

Looks like Ren Xiaoxuan's death

might be associated to those people who bullied her. This is an important clue.

Also, in the diary, she mentioned a boy she liked. This is another important clue.

Listen to this...

"If I could be a strand of his brow hair, it wouldn't be bad either."

This isn't written well at all.

I felt like this kid was too twisted.

A'Yan, even at my young age, we still wouldn't understand the heart of a teenage girl.

There's no way your generation could understand it.

Yes, yes! I have to admit I'm old.

Go and find the on-duty female officers to take a look.

I quickly browsed the diary just now and discovered some keywords.

- Why isn't He Rongyue here? - I have another important discovery. - She said she doesn't keep a diary,

- and only knows how to write autopsy reports. - It stopped being updated on June 23, 2011.

In other words, Ren Xiaoxuan was probably killed after that time.

We already know all this. Tell us something we don't know.

Tell us about those keywords you just mentioned.

"I want to take the place of sunshine and rain

to kiss your handsome nose."

Keyword, "handsome."

Everyone, look at April 21. Keyword, "a sunny smile."

May 3, "handsome eyebrows." May 22, "high nose bridge."

Two days later, she wrote again, "I really wish to become the brush in his hand."

From these descriptions, you can see that

Ren Xiaoxuan is extremely lacking a sense of security because of suffering from bullying and molestation.

So she has a very special feeling toward this boy.

This boy that she wrote about doesn't seem real.

These descriptions are too abstract. It's difficult to find someone based on that.

If all the facial descriptions are combined, can we get a drawing?

What are you doing here?

We're basically sure that the drawing of the boy on Ren Xiaoxuan's desk top

is the person mentioned frequently in her diary.

A sunny smile, handsome eyebrows, high nose bridge.

They're all written in the diary.

I've circled the keywords. You can start drawing.

[His handsome eyebrows...]

You've left out something, like this sentence.

"A light breeze ruffled his hair.

He would run his slender fingers through his hair."

What does that explain? That he's not bald?

It's also not a buzz cut.

And the hair isn't short either.

- Where are you going? - Looking for a place to draw. You do as you wish.

"Hate. Hate." [March 23]

How can he do something like that to me?

"Humiliation."

"Shame."

"I couldn't fight back, could only tremble."

"Long fingernail on the pinky finger."

He tried to molest Xiaoxuan before.

But Xiaoxuan didn't say anything.

She didn't dare fight back.

[World Art History]

[Contemporary Art in Painting]

Could the person who molested Xiaoxuan be...

[Teacher Zhang]

...a teacher?

I transferred to the school two years ago to work in the administration.

I don't know anything about the situation from before.

This box has all the personnel files of the previous teachers and staff.

You can take a look first.

The September sun is perfect,

shining on his well-defined eyebrows and thick eyelashes.

Like the dappled shade on the grass in a secret land of a children's fairytale.

I want to take the place of sunshine and rain

to kiss your handsome nose.

When you finished playing basketball, you carelessly went under the faucet to wash your face.

Soaked every inch of your hair.

- Finished drawing yet? - Almost.

Come find someone with me first.

Who?

Thanks. Sorry! Come, let's keep kicking.

Zhao Zipeng. He used to be the art teacher in this school.

In June of 2011, the same month when Ren Xiaoxuan disappeared,

he was fired by the school. The reason was molesting female students.

He's changed his name to Zhao Tingtao now, and he's running an art gallery.

We've arrived.

Talk less, observe more, don't make trouble.

- Hello. - Is Director Zhao in?

Director Zho is upstairs meeting visitors.

If you have an appointment with Director Zhao, please just wait for a moment.

Then, can we look around first?

Sure. This way, please.

Thanks.

[Yue Ziyu]

[Cui Jingrui]

What does the red dot mean?

The red dot indicates the number of transactions. Photography works and prints can be reprinted.

Whenever there's a sale, it's marked with a red dot.

But oil paintings are singular and unique.

Once it's sold, it'll be removed from the wall.

It wouldn't be marked using this method.

[Zhao Ying]

[Yu Fu]

[Teng Xiuheng]

There's something wrong.

When oil paintings have been hung too long, the surface paint will start to oxidize.

The surface will look yellowish and dark. Judging from the surface effect here,

these are mostly works from the last two or three years.

But the years of the paintings are dated

from 1997 to 2006.

It means the dates aren't the real dates of when they were painted.

Judging from the trace of wear and tear on the frame and the wall,

these paintings haven't been moved ever since they were hung.

But the marking indicates they've been transacted multiple times.

The most crucial point is, looking at the painting technique,

all the works in this gallery

came from only two people.

But the artists on the labels

are all different from one another.

I don't know what they're really transacting here,

but I'm sure it's not paintings.

- Hello, please have some water. - Call your Director Zhao down here right now.

Sorry, Sir. Director Zho is meeting with a very important guest. It's not convenient.

Tell him the guests downstairs are even more important.

Beijiang Branch Criminal Investigation Unit.

Officers, could there be some kind of misunderstanding here?

Do you know this person?

No.

- Did you previously work as a teacher in Beiiang No. 7 High School? - Yes.

She was your student.

But I've taught so many students. How could I remember everyone's face?

You don't remember?

Okay. Let's change to somewhere else to help you remember better.

Officers, I know the law, too.

You can't detain me here just because I have a bad memory!

It has nothing to do with your memory.

I admit... I've sold fake paintings.

Do you think we asked you to come because of selling fake paintings?

Then, what else could it be for?

Are you really selling paintings?

You're not selling paintings.

It's people.

The dates on those paintings aren't when they were painted.

Instead, they're the birthdates of the girls.

[Cui Jingrui]

That painting of "The Young Ladies of Avignon" is an imitation of a Picasso. (T/N: Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon)

Picasso originally wanted to name it "The Wages of Sin."

All the paintings around it are realism, representing adult women.

But this cubism painting, with an unclear face

shows a date of 2006.

It means the girl's age is only 15.

You're trading a 15-year-old girl as a commodity.

Your art gallery is a cover, but actually, you're organizing prostitution.

Officers, you really have an imagination.

I'm just an ordinary art dealer.

Be serious!

If you truly are, we just need to verify your client list.

I admit to then organized prostitution.

I'll tell you everything that I know to earn some merit.

- Let's not talk about other things yet. Ren Xiaoxuan� - I didn't kill her.

How do you know that she's dead?

Even though Ren Xiaoxuan transferred away from the school back then,

but the news of her disappearance quickly

spread among all the teachers.

I also heard that a skeleton was dug up at the field in the No. 7 High School recently.

You're also asking about her.

So it must be Ren Xiaoxuan.

Tell us about your molestation of Ren Xiaoxuan those years ago.

Molestation?

Ren Xiaoxuan wrote about the whole thing in her diary.

Xiaoxuan, you're working so hard.

Your shadows are drawn wrong.

Let me teach you.

Follow the technique of my hand.

Why is your hand shaking so much?

That's right.

No, Officer. It's all a misunderstanding.

That can't be considered molestation.

Besides, it's not like I succeeded.

What did the student look like?

I-I really can't remember.

Think again.

I-I really can't remember, Officer.

I had drank a little at the time and just glanced at him.

Besides, I didn't dare look at him for too long. I was worried about him seeing me.

Officers, you have to believe me.

I want you to find him as soon as possible, too.

He can prove that I didn't do anything that day.

Does he look like this?

I really can't remember.

I just remember... that he was very thin

and not very tall.

Teenagers all look pretty much the same.

You'll find him. It has to be one of the delinquent art students from that year.

Do you know anything about the boyfriend

mentioned in Xiaoxuan's diary?

No.

Perhaps people who draw don't remember things

in their minds.

After all,

we recall our memories with our hands.

"The sunlight in the art classroom is just right.

It shines on his well-defined eyebrows

and thick eyelashes.

Like the dappled shade on the grass in

a secret land of a children's fairytale.

A beaming smile appeared on his face

as he drew.

He must love drawing.

I want to take the place of sunshine and rain

and kiss your handsome nose. When you finished playing basketball,

you carelessly went under the faucet to wash your face.

Soaked every inch of your hair.

We're seemingly always apart,

but also forever interdependent."

Back then, the art students weren't separated by grade.

Everyone drew together.

But that boy...

I really don't remember at all.

Do you recognize any of these names?

They were all art students back then.

There are some who were first years like Xiaoxuan,

and some who were in my grade, third years.

We still have frequent get togethers.

What's the matter?

I want to ask you a favor.

Thank you for organizing this class reunion for us.

They're people I know after all. I want to find out the truth, too.

I've always been curious about why you stayed.

Staying here as an art teacher will bury your talent.

What about you? Why are you a police officer?

I've seen your drawings.

Your talent far exceeds that of an ordinary sketch artist.

It can be half a year before an artist sells a piece of artwork,

but a sketch artist gets paid monthly.

I don't believe that.

You still haven't answered my question.

With your talent,

you could've chosen to continue your studies in the country's top art academies

and connected with more outstanding artists.

Why did you choose to stay here?

Art.

It's too difficult to make it just about the art.

It's easy to get lost in fame, money, and vanity.

I'd rather stay with the school and teach the kids who truly love art.

[Ten Year Reunion]

[Ten Year Reunion]

You didn't tell the truth earlier.

You already have a predetermined answer,

so you don't think anything I say is the truth.

Drink up!

Everyone has to drink today! [Ten Year Reunion]

All right, all right.

What have you been up to?

- I'll pour. - Why did you pour only half a cup?

Drink up.

Yes, drink up.

None of them seem to look like him.

[Ten Year Reunion]

Does it feel really familiar, having the reunion here?

Of course. It's been so long.

We, art students, used to hide

in this swimming pool to chat and doodle.

That's right.

This building holds our entire youth.

- Let's drink! - Drink!

Let's drink! Cheers!

Senior Sister.

Didn't you say there was an activity? What is it?

Just a little game to test everyone's abilities to draw from memory.

Will you guys help me turn the chalkboard around?

Sure.

Go on.

We were so close back then, but now we're such strangers.

How much does everyone remember from back then?

All right, Senior Sister.

You tell us how to play. I'll follow along!

This box is filled with slips of paper I wrote

with characteristics of those in our art class back then.

Everyone will draw one and draw it on the chalkboard,

and the rest of us will try to guess who it is. What do you think?

- Sure! - Sure! - Come on.

I'll start then.

Sure. Go on.

"His face is always oily.

His eyes are like two little black beans

floating on oil."

- Who's she drawing? - How are we supposed to know? She just started.

Yeah.

This is pretty smart.

Others won't be suspicious if Teacher Qu draws first.

The rest of the slips of paper are all Xiaoxuan's diary's descriptions

of the appearance of the boy she liked.

If the boy she liked is really here,

or if someone who knew him is here,

they'd react in a special way to these descriptions.

Who is it?

- Isn't that Zhao Zipeng? - Right!

You're missing something!

- Here. - Senior Sister, hand it to me.

This is his unique characteristic.

Cool.

- That's the essence. - Yep.

Isn't that right?

Yes, yes.

- That's it! - It looks just like him.

Why do I feel that this isn't difficult for any of you?

Of course not! We still have it in us!

Why don't we change up the way we play?

Sure.

We'll all draw the same description of the same person together.

Let's see who does the quickest and best drawing. What do you think?

- No problem! - Sure.

- I've been waiting for my turn. - All right.

Then� Come on.

I'm definitely winning.

You didn't even draw as well as I did when we were in school.

- Get out of here! - I haven't drawn in ten years.

"The cool breeze swept across his face,

lifting up his hair

to reveal his tall nose,

thick long eyelashes,

and beaming smile.

His sharply contoured eyebrows

are thick and dashing.

He looks so sweet and gentle with them on his face."

If I had known we'd be here so long, I would've brought some snacks.

I have some.

Why do I think this one looks like Xu Chen?

No way. How can Xu Chen have such a trendy hairstyle?

It definitely isn't.

Then, who?

I think it's Wang Yiqi.

If you don't hurry and draw, you'll really lose.

Everyone else only added a stroke when they heard a new description.

There's hesitation in the process.

And modifications.

It shows that the others don't know who they're drawing.

Or, it's the first time they heard this description.

Except for him.

He hesitated a long time before he started drawing.

But he's decisive in drawing, all in one go.

No hesitation at all.

It's very likely that as soon as he heard the descriptions,

he already knew who he was going to draw.

Among the same class of art students, you had the best drawing skills.

Why did you draw the slowest this time?

Because I wasn't sure who it was.

Strength in strokes, full of emotion.

You can sense that

he's releasing all the emotions that he's suppressed.

It's him, then?

He either knows her,

or he's seen the diary.

Lanxin.

You got everyone here today, not just simply for a reunion. Right?

She didn't ask you to come.

We're the ones looking for you.

You've read her diary, right?

In her diary, she wrote about a boy she liked. Was that you?

In the beginning,

I also thought I was the one she liked.

It was on the basketball court when I first noticed her.

That day, it was April Fool's Day. It was raining.

I remember it clearly.

Later, she would often watch me play basketball.

She would even quietly cheer for me outside the basketball court until it was dark.

She would sneak a peek toward my direction during art class.

When we were eating,

she'd sit close to me.

But in all other places,

she'd never speak to me or even look at me.

At first, I thought she was shy and embarrassed.

Later, I snuck a peek at her diary

and finally realized the backside that she drew on her desk top wasn't me.

That's why you bullied her.

"May 3, Rain. I don't know why,

but he's been targeting me lately. He found my diary.

In front of everyone, he read my diary.

He laughed so loudly.

I wish I could've died right then and there."

"May 15, I was punished to run around the field again.

I know it's because of him again.

But I don't know how to explain it to the teacher.

None of the classmates would speak up for me either."

"May 18,

I didn't expect to find a dead bird in my textbook.

I was very frightened.

I know that

it must be him."

"June 5. Riding on a rainy day scares me the most.

But I just had to run into him again.

I fell into the puddle and saw his back."

Don't read it anymore.

This is how you were in her diary.

I only wanted to know who that person in the diary was.

Who is he?

I don't know.

I even paid close attention to all the boys in our class from that year.

I never found that person.

Based on the current investigation, we can basically ascertain

that Zhao Zipeng and Tian Lin have no direct connection

with Ren Xiaoxuan's death.

Then, the only clues left from Ren Xiaoxuan's diary

are of the boy.

But to this date,

among all the people we've found to be connected to Ren Xiaoxuan,

no one knows who this boy is.

Don't you find it strange?

We've arrived.

We've arrived?

You live here? There aren't even any lights on.

The street lamp has been broken for a long time. I'm already used to it.

Thanks.
