[Under the Skin]

[Episode 5]

[Captain Cheng, please come to my office. Shen Yi]

What does this mean?

There's a new discovery.

In order to figure out the date the skull was swapped out,

I found all the drawings done by the top students.

The dates on a few of these sketches correspond to the entry dates on the diary.

Look. This pencil drawing is dated April 1st, 2011.

This is the same day as Ren Xiaoxuan's diary.

Tian Lin said it was raining that day.

What if he remembered it wrong?

He didn't make a mistake.

First, the weather will affect the lighting.

Compare this sketch with another piece finished on a similar date,

you can tell this one has a darker shade.

For a top art student, in just a few days

working on the same object, can grasp the textures of light and dark.

There shouldn't be such a big difference.

Also, humidity has a significant effect on the coloring of the pencil.

When the humidity is high, the shade in the sketch will be dimmer and smoother.

If you compare with these two, you can clearly see the difference.

Plus, I also checked the weather records online for those dates.

For the rest of the diary entries, what it said in them

were all different from the actual weather records.

Further, the content of all these diary entries

have something in common.

That mysterious boy?

It proves that the descriptions of that boy in the diary weren't entirely true.

[Diary Entries]

Hello?

Analyzing the skeletonization of the remains has its limits.

We've done what we could. They're all here.

Other than the trace of the suspected stab wound from left to right, there were no obvious damage on the bones.

The soil we obtained from the abdomen and chest's remains didn't have any toxic substances.

The stab wound should be the cause of death.

I found something strange, though.

This is something I found at Ren Xiaoxuan's pelvis joint.

I thought I made a mistake at first, assumed it was debris left from the construction site.

After analyzing it, I found out they were banyan flowers.

Also, at Ren Xiaoxuan's pelvis joint, I found a soil sample that doesn't belong to the construction site.

I compared the soil sample in the vegetation sample

to the soil on her pelvis joint,

the results varied widely.

The residue can remain in the soil for that long?

Every breath we take, as humans, holds information about the traces of our lives.

That means...

the school playground wasn't the first place the body was buried in.

[Beijiang City Bureau of Public Security - Beijiang Branch] [Forensic Analysis Report]

[Based on the soil sample that we found on the pelvis, we found ficus macrocarpa (banyan tree) pollen and petals.]

Banyan flowers?

Correct.

But there aren't any banyan trees near the remains.

These were the drawings left behind by Ren Xiaoxuan.

There were quite a few of them with banyan trees.

I also discovered this lipstick mark. But I've no idea what it means.

Its shape matches more or less

with Ren Xiaoxuan's lips.

It looks like she deliberately put on lipstick and marked the painting.

This painting, those two trees...

hold a lot of meaning for her.

There's another lipstick mark on top of this.

Do you see it?

This lipstick mark... was from that boy?

Take this.

If that lipstick mark belonged to a boy, isn't it a bit...

too delicate?

If I put these lips onto a woman's facial structure

it would make more sense.

Zhao Zipeng also mentioned

he remembered that the person wasn't all that tall.

But Ren Xiaoxuan clearly referred to him as masculine.

She also said she liked boys.

It's not impossible.

Whenever this boy is mentioned in the diary,

all the weather was fake.

But then, when describing him,

does it mean the gender was real?

[Interrogation Room]

That's him! That's him!

That day I was with Ren Xiaoxuan in the art studio,

he was the one who suddenly stomped in!

That's him!

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

I'm here to cooperate with your investigation.

How are you going to investigate it?

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

If you can draw it, I'd want to see the sketch.

Ren Xiaoxuan?

You know her?

Yes.

"The sunlight in the art classroom is just right.

It shines on his well-defined eyebrows and thick eyelashes.

I wouldn't have believed

that it'd turn out to be her.

Me even more so.

- Let's start. - Yes.

[Scene Investigation]

Captain Cheng, we found something!

Qu Lanxin!

Don't do anything rash.

This is the portrait of Ren Xiaoxuan I did.

On April first, that rainy day,

you were playing a basketball game on the courts.

She rooted for you.

But I always thought that I didn't draw this well.

Could you help me complete it?

You've already drawn it well.

This isn't what Xiaoxuan wanted.

What Xiaoxuan wanted... was for you to draw her.

Her true smile... no one else has seen...

except for you.

I want to speak to you privately.

Confirm where the Emergency Rescue Team is at.

Your haircut looks good.

What did you want to discuss? Come over here first.

We can discuss it calmly.

Okay. I'll walk over.

I'm a bit scared of heights.

Can w-we sit and talk?

[Shen Yi]

Did you know

the first place we met

was in this building?

Your shadows

are too flat.

You have to use this amount of strength to draw.

Perhaps from that day onwards,

I became the person she imagined.

Unfortunately...

I let her down.

Do you have a problem?!

- I know... - Is that a boy or a girl?

that I've always been different from others, starting at an early age.

I've always been ostracized by my classmates.

But I didn't care.

But...

not everyone who's been ostracized

doesn't care.

Look at this princess. She looks like Ren Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan thinks she is a princess!

- Are you still dreaming? Really. - Give it back!

Angry?

Officer Shen.

Being misunderstood by others...

shouldn't be unfamiliar to you, right?

When you stand out from the masses, it's difficult for people to understand you.

But it should be respected.

Unfortunately, at that time,

they didn't believe that.

I was unable to blend in with the crowds,

and I could only practice ball alone when everyone had left.

Xiaoxuan would watch quietly from the courtside.

I originally just wanted to comfort her.

But I never imagined that, from that day onwards,

I also had a companion.

Later,

I also looked for opportunities to keep her company.

The closest I got to her in that few months,

was that rainy day.

I silently walked with her for a long time.

I hoped my company

could help her become less lonely.

Later, Xiaoxuan transferred schools.

But we... would still, sometimes,

meet under that banyan tree.

In the sea of people, we ordinary people...

glow in each other's eyes.

We found a total of 21 clothing scraps

in the soil under the banyan tree.

There were large blood stains on them.

Also,

the long faint scar on your left middle finger

was a scar left by a utility knife, right?

Since your hand was cut, with today's technology,

for us to compare your DNA with the blood stains on Xiaoxuan's clothes,

wouldn't be difficult.

So, why exactly?

I'm just a girl who doesn't like to wear skirts, likes basketball,

and likes her hair short.

But for so many years,

the people around me have always misunderstood and isolated me

because of my appearance.

I'd originally thought

that Xiaoxuan really understood and accepted me.

But who'd have thought

she was just like them.

I asked to meet her

under the banyan tree that day.

I wanted her to see me for who I was,

see the real me.

Did you have to wait long?

Xiaoxuan, what's wrong?

It's me.

Qu Lanxin.

You aren't him.

- It's me. - You aren't him.

It was me who gave you candy under the banyan tree,

it was me who ran with you on the field,

- and it was also me who took you home in the rain. - You aren't him.

- You aren't him! - It's really is me.

Stop saying that!

I don't want to hear it!

Why did you have to tell me all this?

You have no idea how much he means to me!

Why did you have to destroy the image of him in my mind?

He was the best thing I had going for me!

None of you will leave me alone!

Why?

Why do you all have to hurt me?!

I'm sorry.

I had thought�

that you could accept the real me.

I didn't want to see you keep lying to yourself.

I thought�

that I had found my light,

but you put it out.

Often times,

the truth

hurts more than a lie.

Xiaoxuan, what are you doing?

Xiaoxuan!

Xiaoxuan!

Xiaoxuan! Xiaoxuan.

What did you do?

Wait here. I'll go call an ambulance.

Xiaoxuan. Xiaoxuan.

Why did you have to do this?

Why did you have to do this?

Don't save me.

The person I love is dead.

I want to stay here...

- Xiaoxuan! - to be with him forever.

Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan. I was wrong, Xiaoxuan!

I...I shouldn't have thrown this on you.

Fool.

Tell me what should I do?

Xiaoxuan. Xiaoxuan!

What should I do? What should I do?

Both of us

died that day.

Ren Xiaoxuan committed suicide?

Yes...

and no.

Because in the end, this all happened because of me.

What Xiaoxuan needed was the image of me she had in her mind.

I shouldn't have destroyed it.

So... you buried her under the banyan tree?

I thought about calling the police,

but I didn't have the courage

to face the aftermath.

But why did Ren Xiaoxuan's skull end up in the art classroom?

I spent every break I had in college

with her under the banyan tree.

That was...

until I heard the city was building a main road there.

That's when I moved Xiaoxuan

to a place closer to me.

I don't think Qu Lanxin's being honest.

Either way, I don't believe that Ren Xiaoxuan committed suicide

and then she only buried the body.

With the information we just got,

we can be sure that Ren Xiaoxuan died from a utility knife.

He Rongyue will be able to speculate how the mortal wound was created

from the size of the utility knife

and a comparison of their heights.

It's been ten years.

No one's ever heard our story before.

Thank you.

Perhaps,

this is how Xiaoxuan saw me.

But you still haven't drawn

the image you have of Xiaoxuan.

I have.

I drew it ten years ago.

It's on the back.

Can you do me a favor?

Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan?

Xiaoxuan?

I never thought the picture would change.

You know him?

I know the artist.

I come here every year at this time.

Do you have a lighter?

I don't smoke.

You, police officers, don't smoke when handling a case?

How did you know I was a police officer?

We've met before.

Shen Yi.

We're from Beijiang's Crime Investigation Unit.

There's a case we need your help with.

A spider!

Where is it?

It's outside, don't worry. Don't worry.

Do you think it's fun to mess with people?

I just wanted those coming to see the art to be able to relax.

You've really changed.

Did you catch the person you wanted Shen Yi to draw?

That face...

he just can't draw it.

I've always wished for my drawings to mean something to someone.

But I never knew it would be like this.

Actually, art history has always recorded the history of crimes.

Like Caravaggio, he murdered someone and fled,

but he left a masterpiece that's been handed down from generation to generation.

You should seize the moment while you have these emotions,

the excitement of the fear, and use it to create.

I'm not Caravaggio.

You really have gone crazy.

This is the path you've chosen?

I want to become a person who solves things.

At that time, he burned all his art in a big fire.

From then on, he completely disappeared from the art world.

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

Little Shen, come here. Hurry!

You came at just the right moment. I was so worried about doing this.

You're good at drawing, aren't you?

Do me a favor, help me write this up on the blackboard notice.

I already wrote out the content for you.

How about this, I'll read it to you and you write. Faster that way.

Okay.

"An expert at catching the wind,

a master detective who hunts crime through drawings.

It's him who races with time

and through painstaking investigation,

finds each and every suspect hiding in the dark!"

Is Director Zhang here?

- She's not here. She went out. - It's fine, I'll wait for her in her office. - Hey!

I told you she's not here!

"An expert at catching the wind, a master detective who hunts crime through drawings.

Indispensable investigative talent."

You really were able to come up with something like this?

I've never seen someone praise themselves like this before.

It's Sister Fei who asked. How could I turn her down?

Back in the day, a talented portrait artist

suddenly disappeared. Seven years later, he appeared in our department to post news on our blackboard.

Are you trying to be a sweeper monk? (T/N: an unassuming hidden talent)

I met someone today.

Any interest in learning more?
