[Under the Skin Ⅱ]

[Episode 20]

Li Han.

According to the hospital surveillance,

Guo Yuan left the hospital yesterday

at 10:20 in the morning

and got into a black sedan.

The license plate number is

Jiang A43C68.

Check the vehicle owner's information

and then confirm

all the data images along the route.

Report back to me as soon as possible.

Captain Cheng.

We've found that this car

was using a fake license plate.

After leaving the hospital,

the surveillance footage along the way showed that

no one got in or out of the car.

This car

was last seen on surveillance cameras

near Renhe Community.

The time was yesterday noon,

12:15 PM.

Contact the local police station

for cooperation immediately.

We'll go there now.

We've found something.

Some elderly ladies in the community reported that

every now and then,

Ge Yutian would come here

to take care of an elderly person.

You guys stay downstairs.

You guys come with me.

-Yes. -Yes.

This is the unit.

I'll go in first.

Sir.

Sir?

My medicine.

It's time for my medicine.

Jiang Feng!

Untie her.

Call an ambulance.

Dad.

Let that person go.

Dad.

Tian!

Tian!

There are some strange people in our house!

Strange... strange people!

Strange... strange people are here!

You're mistaken. There's no one here.

Dad, it's time to take your medicine.

No one's here.

Time for my medicine.

Officer Du,

I'll return this fake Zhao Yun

to you.

I found

a better candidate.

[Hang up]

[Shen Yi]

Sorry,

the subscriber you dialed

is unavailable.

Please try again later.

Sorry.

Where is my colleague?

What did you do to my colleague?

[Two hours ago]

Why didn't I seize it?

If we had saved her then,

perhaps she...

Uncle, I'm scared.

Save me! Save me!

Ning.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, okay?

It's all my fault.

This time, I won't

leave you behind.

Ning. Ning!

Save me!

Ning!

Uncle!

Save me! Save me!

Ning!

Save me! Save me!

Ning!

Save me! Save me!

Save me! Save me!

Save me! Save me!

This time, I won't

leave you behind.

This time, I won't

leave you behind.

Officer Shen?

I want to tell you a

story about Feng Xiaowen.

Would you like to hear it?

Sure.

Go ahead.

I'm all ears.

Have a seat.

There was a person

who deeply loved Feng Xiaowen.

He always wanted to set up

a performance for Feng Xiaowen,

the "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity."

"Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity"

was Feng Xiaowen's award-winning

classic play back then.

Unfortunately...

the theater troupe

dwindled in numbers.

Putting together

such a performance again

was too difficult.

It delayed Feng Xiaowen for ten years.

For ten years, she didn't have the chance

to perform it again.

I know.

She told me about it.

It was her dream.

It was the play she wanted to perform the most.

What a coincidence, isn't it?

That person also knew.

So he wanted to build a stage

for Feng Xiaowen.

He desperately wanted to present

this play to Feng Xiaowen.

This play

is his best tribute

to Feng Xiaowen.

How to start?

How exactly should it begin?

That fat guy,

Zhou Guoliang.

How about

starting the play with him?

Just the clown role

was not enough.

We needed an older female role,

Wu Guotai.

Until one day,

he saw someone

suffering from rickets.

Perfect.

She was...

She was absolutely perfect.

Her face was so vivid.

But her body,

when hunched over, looked so much like

an old woman.

There was no one

more suitable than her.

It had to be her.

But that was not enough.

Still not enough.

What about Sun Quan?

What about the maid?

Yes, yes, yes.

First, find the maid.

First, find the maid.

Sun Shangxiang's maid

was no ordinary person.

She grew up practicing martial arts

alongside Sun Shangxiang.

She couldn't possibly be

an ordinary woman.

He needed someone tall,

with a good figure,

and strong arms.

And that Wang Mengxiao.

She'd be good.

She was 1.7m tall and played basketball.

She was the perfect actress for

the other palace maid.

Sun Quan.

It was hard to find an actor for this role.

Green eyes, purple hair.

He searched for a long time...

And he actually found one.

That guy

looked just like a foreigner.

And coincidentally,

he dyed his hair purple.

Feng Xiaowen must be

blessing him in heaven, right?

He must fulfill her wish.

Great.

Great.

Now we just need a Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun needs to be handsome.

If he's not handsome, Xiaowen won't like him.

Guo Yuan.

Guo Yuan is really suitable.

She can handle a spear,

and she's handsome.

Damn police!

They messed up the plan.

They destroyed the stage.

They took Feng Xiaowen away.

But it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

The stage has never been

a specific place.

It's in the heart.

So,

so we must get Guo Yuan

back.

Officer Shen,

your story is a bit scary.

Excuse me.

I won't be reprising that role either.

It's mostly because

I think the

casting director's taste

is terrible.

I'm too disappointed.

What did you say?

A terrible taste?

How is it terrible?

Yeah.

Look.

His criteria for selecting the cast

is completely based on

his own imagination.

Which aspect conformed

to the true requirements of the opera's

traditional character roles?

For example,

Wu Guotai.

Peking Opera requires an older female role to have

a large, round face

and a commanding presence.

Now look at Li Hong,

with her pointy chin and sunken cheeks.

Is that suitable?

And then there's that Zhao Yuanqing.

He lacked presence.

How could he possibly play Sun Quan?

If Feng Xiaowen knew from the grave

that she had performed

in such a production,

how heartbroken she would be.

That's why I think that

this person is not at all

fulfilling Feng Xiaowen's wishes.

He's desecrating Peking Opera.

You're not her.

Can you make decisions for her?

Oh, right, right.

And then there's that Guo Yuan.

What I can't stand the most

is that Guo Yuan.

That's Zhao Yun we're talking about!

A man with piercing eyes and a heroic bearing!

Guo Yuan isn't even a man.

How can that work?

We must replace her.

Who should we replace her with?

Who should we replace her with?

I think you'd be great.

How about

you play the role?

Thank heaven

for giving me a real Zhao Yun.

[Hongda Chemical Plant]

♫In the past, Liang Hong matched with Meng Guang♫

♫Mother would never act without care♫

Are you satisfied?

Satisfied.

Extremely satisfied.

The stage you wanted to give to Feng Xiaowen.

I completed it for you

with just a few strokes.

Now look at yourself.

Look at these people you've killed.

They should have had their own lives.

And their own stages.

But in the end,

they were all forcibly dragged here by you

to become sacrifices of your love.

Do you really think that

by putting on this festive

"Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity,"

you could give Feng Xiaowen the

eternal stage she had always wanted?

You're wrong.

It's all self-deception.

This is nothing but

a stage pieced together

by your cowardice and guilt!

This is it!

It is!

All of this

is what Xiaowen wanted.

This is the revelation Xiaowen gave me.

She wanted me to do this.

That day,

when I saw her body in the factory,

I didn't know what to do.

My mind went blank.

I just thought

I should let her go with some dignity.

It shouldn't be

like that,

so dirty and messy.

She wouldn't have liked it

that way either.

I had to at least let her leave

in a clean and tidy state.

So I went to buy a piece of cloth.

I wanted to come back

to take care of everything.

Driver, could you help me?

I can't get a cab.

It's just that Lyushui House up ahead.

Could you drive me there?

I'll give you a hundred yuan.

Hey, buddy.

That woman we had dinner with tonight,

she must be nearly sixty, right?

So old and still looking for a man.

And that, and that Li.

He's only in his early thirties.

That guy.

He sold his dignity for money.

He even did this for money.

Exactly.

Right, so old.

So, you see,

the thirties are like wolves,

the forties are like tigers,

the fifties...

I didn't know what to do.

So I just threw that fat guy

into the factory first.

Then I saw

the white patches on his face,

and I realized that

this must be Xiaowen

telling me

to make him the clown actor.

All of this

was Xiaowen's arrangement from beyond.

She wanted this play.

She wanted to perform

in the play she always dreamed of.

"Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity."

"Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity."

This was also

her wish for our love.

You actually know very well

that it wasn't any

revelation from Xiaowen.

The piece of cloth you used

to kill Zhou Guoliang was just stained...

With white dust when u wiped your car with it.

You're wrong!

What do you know?

You're not Xiaowen.

What gives you the right to say

that it wasn't Xiaowen's intention?

How dare you say that?

How dare you?

I dare, because Feng Xiaowen gave up her family

and everything else.

Because she resolutely

chose to be together with you.

From the moment she rushed into the fire,

that was the true swan song of her life!

That far surpassed

all her previous performances.

As for what you've done,

it doesn't even qualify as a memorial.

This is your desecration of her!

You're wrong.

This is not desecration.

This is a tribute.

This play

is about to be completed.

Ge Yutian.

Ge Yutian!

No!

Get up.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Behave yourself.

Was Guo Yuan rescued?

Rest assured.

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

Captain Cheng.

Where's Shen Yi?

Mr. Shen took a day off today.

Why did he take a day off?

He said

he could finally get a good night's sleep.

Have you found anything?

The body has been frozen.

It's difficult to determine the exact time of death.

The body is fully clothed.

There are no large-scale bloodstains at the scene.

But there are obvious drag marks.

This probably isn't the

primary crime scene.

What have you discovered?

I find this house strange.

It's full of chaos.

But it seems to be missing

that homey feeling.

Captain Cheng.

The drawers here

should have contained a large number of watches

and jewelry,

but now they're all gone.

Also,

over here.

This should be the actual crime scene.

It feels like a home invasion robbery and murder,

and then the body was

moved to the underground cold storage.
