[Under the Skin]

[Episode 12]

This stun gun

was found in the grass area by your house.

We looked into it.

You bought this online a while ago.

Zhao Mingzhe's DNA is on it.

If it's true that he suddenly appeared at your door,

how did you predict it and even prepare a self-defense weapon?

According to the evidence on the scene,

Zhao Mingzhe was dragged.

Based on the preliminary autopsy report,

we can conclude that it's impossible for you to have killed him in self-defense when he attacked you.

What exactly happened that day?

If you're not going to say it, I will.

Hello.

I want to make a report.

If Zhao Mingzhe really did lose his ability to resist

and you stabbed him,

then it's not self-defense or excessive self-defense.

It's murder.

If you tell the truth now, there could be a chance for a lighter sentence.

Yes.

I killed him on purpose.

The wounds on my body can heal.

But what about my heart?

I ran away from him,

but I never truly escaped.

The moment I think of his face,

the moment I think of the name "Zhao Mingzhe,"

I can't sleep at all.

Four years.

For four years...

I didn't dare go outside.

I didn't dare post anything to WeChat Moments.

I didn't dare to meet new people.

Even when a man approaches me, I feel...

I feel scared.

Buying that stun gun,

wasn't because I was planning anything.

I relied on it to survive.

Every time someone knocked on my door,

I would need to have the stun gun with me in order to be able to open the door.

So, when Zhao Mingzhe showed up at your house, you used the stun gun.

It was because of a subconscious reaction to your chronic stress?

Then when he passed out,

you stabbed vital parts of him three times.

That couldn't be a subconscious reaction, right?

He moved.

He was moving on the floor!

Do you know that, as long as he stood up, he'd definitely kill me!

What about the fallen hat?

If you were that scared, why would you put it on him?

It was because I didn't want to see that face of his.

I'm scared of that face.

[Fifth Teaching Building]

Does anyone know what the "J, Q, K" cards mean in a poker deck?

I know. "K" is king.

"Q" is queen. "J" is a jack.

Then can anyone tell me which queen is the Queen of Hearts?

Instructor, aren't they the same person?

The Queen of Hearts was a famous Israeli heroine called Judith.

When her village was besieged by the Assyrian army in Bethulia,

Judith brought her female servant and infiltrated the Assyrian camp.

Using her beauty to trick their general, Holofernes,

and chopping off his head after he got drunk.

There are countless paintings based on Judith in the art world.

Instructor, I have a question.

Did Judith's servant participate in the murder as well?

- Why do you ask that? - Look.

In some of the paintings, the servant stood by or held his head.

But in that middle painting, where Holofernes is resisting,

it's taking two women to hold him down to be able to chop his head off.

Why is there such a difference?

You've noticed something critical.

The middle painting was painted by a female artist called Artemisia Gentileschi.

In the West, many male artists

would often paint the servant as a bystander

because their main focus was on the beautiful Judith.

But Artemisia Gentileschi was different.

In her painting, the two women are allied, resisting the same evil force.

In her eyes, women understand women.

Women can protect women.

Therefore, only this painting

clearly painted two heroines.

Instructor, I found it.

Gentileschi was sexually harassed by her teacher when she was young.

- Oh, goodness. - Oh, my.

Gentileschi was sexually harassed.

The perpetrator accused Gentileschi of being a prostitute to avoid punishment.

In order to prove that she was telling the truth. She had no choice but to have her body examined publicly.

But in the end, the rapist

only needed to apologize and was only locked away for eight months.

So this painting isn't actually about Judith killing Holofernes,

but it's really about this female artist killing her rapist.

Exactly. Therefore, the Judith painted by Gentileschi has more power.

She doesn't have any hesitation or fear.

She infused her own suffering and empathy into the painting,

sharing the same soul as the Judith in the painting.

I'm sorry.

Same soul.

Both had similar suffering.

Class is over. Discuss it among yourselves.

You think Chen Qiuwen lied?

She lied once, she would lie again.

In most situations, women who went through long-term domestic violence will be defined as weak and vulnerable.

So, we'd easily ignore this.

Also, women with the ability to resist, when they resist,

sometimes they might be stronger than men.

Chen Qiuwen said when she stunned Zhao Mingzhe, she killed him out of fear.

I suspect that she had already planned all of this beforehand.

Strictly speaking, she planned this from the moment Zhao Mingzhe saw the photo.

He was destined to die.

Then let's go back to the hotel again and check Zhao Mingzhe's activities that day.

Let's see if we can find any new clues.

This person started living here three years ago, I was working that day.

Did he have any unusual behaviors, or did he say anything out of the ordinary?

A lot of people check in all the time, I don't really recall.

You really can see Chen Qiuwen's apartment from here.

Oh, I remember now. That day,

when that man checked in, he insisted on having a room in the shade.

He also repeated to me that

Fengmao Tower must be visible from that room in the shade.

Sure enough.

He found Chen Qiuwen's house through Fengmao Tower.

[Fengmao Tower]

Therefore, this proves that Zhao Mingzhe was actively pursuing Chen Qiuwen.

Hello?

Are you sure?

Okay. I got it.

Li Han found traces of a composite in Chen Qiuwen's photo.

It's impossible for the word Fengmao to appear in Chen Qiuwen's pupils.

This is where Chen Qiuwen took the photo.

[Fengmao Tower]

Found the evidence.

What do you mean?

You said that when you escaped from Zhao Mingzhe,

you didn't dare go out into the street,

make friends,

or post on WeChat Moments.

But you posted such a high-definition photo on a social network.

Isn't this contradictory?

I wanted to try coming out and

starting anew. Can't I?

You can.

However, your photo was edited.

You knew that Zhao Mingzhe would definitely come looking for you when he saw the photo.

So, you deliberately left a trace of something in the photo

and lured him to walk into your death trap.

Do you have any evidence?

Yes.

This is the evidence.

Based on the angle of your selfie,

there's no way the words "Fengmao" could be reflected in your pupils.

Just like my selfie.

So, your photo was edited.

The motive was to reveal your location

to Zhao Mingzhe.

Even if my photo was edited,

there are so many photos on the internet.

How could I ensure that Zhao Mingzhe would see this one?

Someone else could ensure it.

Lu Ting.

Who's Lu Ting?

Lu Ting is Zhao Mingzhe's current lover.

You both met two days ago.

I don't have any impression. I don't know her.

Suppose a stranger suddenly apologized to you,

we would have reacted with surprise

or felt strange.

But you didn't at all.

You passed by her without glancing sideways.

You were pretending not to know her.

I didn't hear what she said.

That day, Lu Ting heard a strange sound. Her reaction was similar to yours.

She wasn't afraid of the sound,

but of the violence of the sound instead.

The source of the violence...

was also Zhao Mingzhe.

Let me repeat myself. I don't know Lu Ting.

I'm also not aware of how Zhao Mingzhe got a hold of this photo.

If he hadn't come here to kill me, he wouldn't have died.

I didn't send him to his death.

He did it on his own.

Zhou Yunyi,

the police know and grasp more

than you think.

Lu Ting is right next door.

Lu Ting, we wouldn't summon you here for no reason.

You better confess. Being this way won't do you any good.

Zhao Mingzhe came to Beijiang the day before yesterday.

We checked and you took the evening high-speed train after him,

and came to Beijiang, too.

The autopsy report of Zhao Mingzhe indicates that

he was knocked out by a stun gun.

The blade wound on his body doesn't match Chen Qiuwen's confession.

So, this really isn't self-defense.

It's homicide.

We now suspect there was a third person at the scene.

It could be the accomplice or possibly,

the mastermind.

If it's homicide, how long will she be sentenced?

This is for the court to decide.

Based on our national punishment regulations, homicide

depends on the severity of the situation. There's term imprisonment, life sentence, or tdeath penalty. All are possible.

I'll talk.

After I was with Zhao Mingzhe,

he was always violent and beat me.

I couldn't resist...

and I dare not resist, either.

Whenever there are signs of resistance in my eyes,

he'd beat me more ruthlessly.

Mingzhe.

I won't dare do it again.

After a long period of time, I gradually became numb to it,

until I was pregnant.

The only one who could get me away from this man

was probably Chen Qiuwen.

I used various methods to find her,

until one day,

I came across the dress in the photo of Zhao Mingzhe and Chen Qiuwen.

It was in a second-hand online shop.

I found her account.

[Site Mail. Chen Qiu Wen Wen Wen]

[Are you Zhou Yunyi?]

[I need your help]

[Photo uploaded]

[Who are you?]

After we contacted each other,

we devised a plan.

How did you find her?

Mingzhe, listen to me explain.

I don't have any other intentions.

Are you afraid?

I... no.

I won't look for her anymore.

Don't be angry. I wouldn't dare.

Why are you afraid?

You made a good contribution.

You helped me find that

woman who betrayed me.

It's been a long time.

What did I say? If you dared to run?

Die then.

Is he dead?

Yes.

He's really dead?

We killed him.

We're free now.

Hurry and go.

Wipe the blood off your hands.

Leave on the road where you came from. There are no surveillance cameras there.

Hurry, go.

Why don't I surrender myself?

Act according to our plan. Leave now.

I killed him.

Why did Lu Ting apologize to you?

How would I know?

Stop asking me these pointless questions.

[Lu Ting's confessed that she killed Zhao Mingzhe.]

They're meaningful.

Because it was Lu Ting who killed Zhao Mingzhe.

You're taking the blame for her.

Based on what you said,

she's my husband's mistress.

Why would I take the blame for her?

Because she's pregnant.

This is from June 2017,

it's your miscarriage record from the hospital.

You could've become a mother before.

[Early Pregnancy Miscarriage]

No! No!

The child that you're carrying...

needs a mother.

I thought you wouldn't come.

Why don't you try to leave him?

It's not like I didn't think about it.

I've tried many times.

He's found me every time.

Every time he found me, he'd beat me.

Later on, I stopped running.

Because when he couldn't find me,

he'd go after my family.

I experienced the same thing.

It was just that...

I was probably luckier.

Actually, he's never stopped looking for you.

He won't let you go.

If even I can find you,

he can too.

I had stopped being hopeful.

If I could protect my family

by suffering alone, then I'd be willing to do so.

But then I became pregnant.

A child shouldn't have this kind of cruel father.

For the child, I have to

find a way to completely put an end to this.

What do you want to do?

Kill him.

I came up with a plan.

If it can be carried out successfully,

then we'd both be free.

But I can't do it alone.

Can you help me?

Thank you.

Good morning, Instructor Shen.

How did you get in here?

The door was unlocked.

You secretly ate my candy?

You even remember how many pieces of candy you have on the desk?

These are all paintings of people who got kidnapped?

If I keep drawing them, then maybe we'll be able to find a lead sooner.

- Please come in. - Shen Yi.

Director Zhang is looking for you.

Okay.

Fengchi Police Station has a case.

A female college student, after attending a reunion,

was taken to a remote area and raped.

After the victim was rescued,

the officer drew this picture

based on the victim's description.

This...

Three eyes?

There's something off with the victim's description.

That's why Inspector Hu specifically asked for you to go and help.

[POLICE]

Come in.

- Hello, is Inspector Hu here? - That's me.

Officer Shen!

You're finally here, Officer Shen!

You have no idea, our entire department

are loyal fans of yours.

Xiao Liu, this is the person who I often mention.

The talented shadow catcher in our public security organization, Officer Shen Yi.

- Hello. - Come, come and sit down.

What's up with this drawing?

Oh. Xiao Liu drew this.

She learned to draw before, but only up to this level.

I'm more curious about why the face turned out this way.

I... I... drew it based on the description given by the victim, Liu Xiaoye.

I drew whatever she described.

And so ended up with this drawing.

If the site is stable, it shouldn't be difficult to find the suspect. You just need some patience.

There's difficulty, Officer Shen.

Liu Xiaoye wasn't raped at the reunion.

She was raped in the mountain after she got drunk.

Therefore, the scope of suspects is considerably expanded.

This might've been done by a student or a civilian.

We asked around and no one remembered who took Liu Xiaoye away.

The only lead we have is this weird drawing.

We have no way to decrease the range of suspects.

[Outpatient Clinic]

Lie down, don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here to help you.

If you feel uncomfortable at any point, you can tell me to stop.

Actually, a lot of girls who've gone through something like this,

the first thing they do is wash themselves because they feel ashamed.

Choose to stay silent.

But it's exactly because of that, that these perpetrators go unpunished.

You're a brave girl.

He didn't leave any shame on you.

It's his handcuffs.

Medical Examiner He.

Why are you here, too?

Same as you. I'm here to help.

I just came from the hospital.

How is Liu Xiaoye?

I just examined the injury. You can take a look.

What on earth did she go through?

To make sure, I need to go back to the precinct

to perform a more detailed analysis of the extracted biological trace.

Please help me deliver this report to Inspector Hu.

Okay.

Then... when will the test results come out?

- As soon as possible. - Thanks for working so hard.

The on-site evidence will disappear slowly.

But I'm afraid the wound in her heart won't be erased.

Maybe not even in a lifetime.

Shen Yi, you must help her.

You're Liu Xiaoye's roommate, right? Tell us about the situation.

We're not that close to her.

She is a lone wolf. She doesn't talk with us often.

What's her personality like?

She's so pretentious. Always has an uptight look on her face, as if we owed her money.

Every time we tell her to come to a get-together, she never comes.

Sometimes, when she goes, if we ask her to drink, she won't.

She won't eat snacks, either. It makes it awkward for all of us.

Anything else?

Xiaoye is very conservative.

I've known her for a long time now.

I've never seen her wear a skirt that's above the knees.

Oh, right! Especially during the summer.

She still wears long sleeves.

If it's short sleeves, then she'll even add a jacket.

I used to always tease her.

Are you afraid of getting a tan?

And now this happened.

Officer, how is Xiaoye doing?

Don't worry about this. We'll take care of this as soon as possible.

You can leave now.

Did you write it down? Conservative. Lone wolf.

Doesn't drink or eat casually. Those are all key points.

You have to be extremely attentive when you're writing statements.

You can't be careless with a single word or sentence. Understood?

Xiao Liu, ask Medical Examiner He to rush the report on the lab test.

- See if we can find anything out. - Yes.

Oh, right! And...

Why are youngsters in such a hurry these days?

Officer Shen, please take a look when Xiao Liu comes back.

I want to wait for Liu Xiaoye to be more stable.

Find a time for me to talk with her alone.

No need. You can have her tell you. She's pretty much memorized it.

Let's go.

You're good, Captain Cheng. The case was solved before sundown.

Three hours to close the case.

- Where's Shen Yi? Is he still not back? - No way.

It's probably a difficult case to solve.

Where did a three-eyed rapist come from?

Teacher He, I heard you went to Fengchi to help.

The test results just came out. I was just about to notify them.

How is it? Can Shen Yi handle it?

If you're concerned, we can go together to take a look.

I... I... have my own case.

I don't even have time for my own case. Where would I find the time to look after him?

Hello, Shen Yi.

The results are out. But there's no good news.

I couldn't get any useful fingerprints or DNA from the victim.

The rapist must have erased all traces of the crime.

And also, we detected

elements of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid.

Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid?

Yes. It's a hallucinogen.

People who ingest it will quickly lose their ability to resist.

Okay, I got it.

Obedience drink? (T/N: GHB is also known as a date rape drug)

You know about it?

Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid.

Let me tell you. This kind of stuff is often

circulated in the black market every now and then. To seize it,

it's required to have long-term tracking and regular clean-ups.

But it'll come up again after a short while.

It's really difficult to deal with.

Officer Shen,

this means that the three-eyed monster that Liu Xiaoye saw

could be caused by the hallucinogen?

That's right. I've already grasped the basic elements of the case.

We can start drawing.

- I want to meet Liu Xiaoye. - Don't.

Don't put her through another shock.

Xiao Liu, go ahead and describe it.

Liu Xiaoye is really not doing well.

It seemed like she was extremely shocked.

Her responses were either "I don't know" or "I don't remember."

The only information was that rapist. The three-eyed monster.

It would be difficult to get any additional leads from her.

I'm not going to ask her to describe what happened or what the rapist looked like.

Then, why do you want to see her?

I want to determine

whether her confused description

was due to the drug or to her memories.

By talking to her, I want to understand how she remembers things,

plus her mental state.

I want to know whether that weird drawing was something she saw

or something she imagined.
