[Episode 19]

Qin Yue.

Request for

an arrest warrant.

Monitor all surrounding transportation hubs,

express railway stations,

and train stations

for traces of them.

Keep watch here.

I'll return to the station.

Go on.

[Police Inspection]

Attention, guys.

We can't rule out that

the suspect

is armed.

Stay alert and be careful.

Hello. [Police Inspection]

[Police Inspection] Routine check.

[Ninghai High-Tech Zone]

Jiang Chengyi.

What kind of captain are you?

Two deaths

and a cop injured?

You found zero leads.

In broad daylight,

you even let them escape!

Director.

I was the first to arrive.

It’s my fault.

Captain Jiang was called to the scene last minute.

Besides, this murderer

is great at covering their tracks—

I don't care who they are!

Ninghai isn't a place where

criminals can get off scot free!

Set up a special investigation team now.

From now on,

I’ll supervise it myself!

Jiang Chengyi.

You have seven days.

No matter what you do,

you must arrest them!

Yes!

Yes.

Based on the inspection

of the scene,

there are many bruises on Ding Jing's body

and strangulation marks on her wrists and neck.

There are obvious traces of her

being assaulted or abused.

The cause of death was strangulation.

Any leads from Forensics?

They said

the victim's stomach was empty.

She was probably

starved for days.

Based on Liu Hao’s description,

[Anshan Criminal Investigation] we've initially determined

that this murderer is also the person

who killed Wang Qianqian.

This serial murderer

is extremely arrogant

and great at

covering their tracks.

They're also highly skilled

in close combat.

Everyone must stay alert.

While you're being cautious,

you also have to be meticulous.

Don't miss a single trace

of possible leads

in this case.

Qin Yue.

Station people all over

to keep the murderer

within this city.

[Anshan Criminal Investigation]

Lei Yiming.

I have a task for you.

Investigate Ding Jing's

social relationships

for any

useful info and lead.

Got it.

You're all here.

Why are you here?

Director Xing sent me to help you.

What?

You don't welcome me?

Of course I do.

That's great.

Is there any material I can read?

Professor Yu.

Hello?

You're here.

Brought me food?

Are you going back later?

I made use

of my break

to visit you.

Right.

I even saw Liu Hao.

He insisted on being discharged.

With his stab wound,

can he be discharged so soon?

No.

So we need to observe him longer.

Let him rest.

What's wrong?

A-Are you hurt?

Me?

I'm fine.

Look, I'm in one piece.

Did you come today

to see if I'm hurt?

I'm worried about you.

You even know how to dote on others now.

Will you be going home tonight?

I think so.

Miss me?

Yeah, I miss you.

I miss you too.

I'll wait for you at home tonight.

Sure.

I might be a bit late.

I can't eat with you.

I have to go back.

So soon?

Take this back.

I didn't eat much.

Okay.

I'll wait for you at home.

Be careful on the road.

Be careful.

What was that for?

Don't I say that

to you guys too?

I say that

for every mission.

How is it? Is it good?

Not bad.

Finish it quickly.

There's still a lot of info

for you to read.

Okay, right away.

I'll be right there.

[Lu Yan: Anesthesiologist at Ninghai Anshan People's Hospital] [Jiang Chengyi: Criminal Police] [Take note]

[Li Ruonan]

[Li Ruonan] Did you get it?

Did you get it? [Mysterious Person]

[Mysterious Person]

Sorry.

Where is she?

I made a mistake.

I'm sorry.

I'll make it up to you.

This is what you should do.

Can I see her?

We'll talk after you get it.

Remember,

you have no second chances.

I understand.

So

it's the same murderer?

That's strange.

According to the subway station footage,

after Ding Jing left the station,

she walked into the alley

and then went to Jifu Village.

This proves that

Ding Jing knows the murderer.

But after arriving

at Jifu Village,

why did the murderer detain Ding Jing

and abuse and torture her?

It seems like an interrogation.

What could the murderer want to know

from Ding Jing?

Is there a possibility

that it wasn't an interrogation?

Maybe

they just

wanted to torture her?

That's the other problem:

the way Ding Jing was killed.

Let's say it's the same murderer.

Then they chose to kill the two

by extremely different methods.

In Wang Qianqian's case,

you can clearly sense that

the murderer's calm and professional.

They didn't leave any trace.

But with Ding Jing,

they chose to strangle her.

I'm leaning towards

them killing Ding Jing on impulse.

Exactly.

We so happened

to rush there in time,

and they killed her

to prevent being exposed.

Isn't it logical?

If they just wanted to kill someone,

why did they torture

and abuse her?

A criminal

this meticulous

wouldn't be so hasty

all of a sudden.

So the key

lies in whether

the murderer got

what they wanted.

If they got it,

they've accomplished their goal.

If they didn't...

They'll appear again.

Right?

Yes.

From now on,

let's focus on

Ding Jing's residential area

and the places she frequented.

Let's see if this murderer

will appear again.

Come on, get to work.

Let's split up.

[B1 Parking Lot]

What are you doing?

-Stop! -Stop!

[B1 Parking Lot]

[B1 Parking Lot] Stop!

[B1 Parking Lot]

That's all. Nothing else.

Hey.

Thanks for your help.

Did they call the police?

Yes.

What happened?

Just now,

someone

broke the window

of this car.

We rushed here

once we heard it.

Did you see how they looked

clearly?

No.

They were wearing a cap and a mask.

I couldn't see their face.

Right!

And they ran too fast.

We couldn't catch up with them.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

How about this?

Um, Yiming.

Go get all

the surveillance footage here.

Sihan.

Interview around to see

if any drivers who

entered the basement

in this time period

witnessed it.

Okay?

Let's work hard.

See you in the team later.

I’m leaving. Bye.

Bye, guys.

Okay.

[Anshan, Ninghai Public Security Criminal Investigation Unit]

Actually,

there's something I don't understand.

I know.

The murder motive,

right?

Yes.

If

killing Wang Qianqian

was to target Lu Yan,

then why did they kill Ding Jing?

Also,

Ding Jing and Lu Yan

actually

aren't on good terms.

What's the point of killing Ding Jing?

Could it be that

they're not only targeting Lu Yan?

Then who's their target?

Me?

Think about it.

The murderer disguising as Deng Man

only happened after you came back.

In the past eight years,

nothing odd happened

around you

and Lu Yan.

Why is that?

Targeting the both of us?

It's entirely possible.

But as for the reason,

I haven't figured it out yet.

Jiang!

Professor Yu.

How is it?

We found leads

in an underground garage.

They broke Ding Jing's car window.

You're right.

It seems that they're

looking for something.

From now on,

at all the places

Ding Jing used to be at,

be it her home, her office,

or anywhere she frequented,

send people to keep watch

in pairs.

One more thing.

We must figure out

what the murderer is looking for.

It's very important.

Yes. [Anshan Criminal Investigation]

[Anshan Criminal Investigation]

[Huiting Complex]

You're back.

Are you cold?

I made something for you.

Here. Come in.

Are you

tired?

Lu Yan.

I have something to tell you.

Ding Jing is dead.

She was killed.

It's true that

I hate Ding Jing because of Deng Man.

But...

I didn't expect her...

to be killed.

No matter how wrong she was,

it shouldn't be like this.

Lu Yan.

Don't think too much.

We will find the murderer.

You must be tired.

I'll heat up the dumplings for you.

Okay.

Jiang Chengyi.

You will catch the murderer.

You will.

[Anshan, Ninghai Public Security Criminal Investigation Unit]

You're back.

Are you busy?

Jiang.

I just came back from Ding Jing's place.

I searched everywhere.

There weren't any valuable leads.

Some of our men are

keeping watch there.

But so far,

no one suspicious has been found.

But I checked a few parcels

she's received recently

and there was no sender.

I'm unsure about it,

I brought it to you.

What is it?

This is interesting.

When we were in university,

this hairpin

was popular

among girls.

Why did Ding Jing buy this?

This doesn't go with the clothes

she usually wore.

Let me see.

Is it hers?

I don't know if it's hers.

But it's

a recent parcel she got.

It should be a coincidence.

[A small memorial service is scheduled to be held at 10:30 a.m. on January 7.] [My daughter, Ding Jing, has passed away recently.]

Ding Jing's memorial service

is this Saturday.

Let's go together.

The funeral is the best place to investigate

a person's social relationships.

Maybe the murderer will be there too.

I have to go.

Don't be nervous.

It's just a first meeting today.

They're not

deciding on the role yet.

But first impressions are too important.

I feel like if

I don't perform well today,

there will be no next chance.

Haven't you been

taking Professor Yu's classes?

I think I've learned

enough from her.

Did you quarrel?

No.

It's just a work partnership.

We're not that close.

You have to

seize this opportunity

and learn from Professor Yu.

It'll also come in handy

for future roles.

But she's never been sincere

in teaching me.

Come in.

Mr. Wen.

This morning,

we received a letter.

[A small memorial service is scheduled to be held at 10:30 a.m. on January 7.] [My daughter, Ding Jing, has passed away recently.] [Obituary]

Ding Jing passed away.

No way.

Didn't we just meet her

at the mixer a few days ago?

I'll be on a business trip.

Send her off for me.

Okay.

Hello?

What do you mean?

I've searched Ding Jing's home

and company.

I didn't find anything.

Could it be that

she doesn't have evidence?

Can you guarantee that?

I'm sorry.

If you still want to see your mother,

you know what to do.

Don't worry.

I will find it.

Yue.

How is it?

Nothing unusual.

Go back and rest.

It's okay. We're not sleepy.

Just go back and rest.

Or you can go to the hospital

to accompany Liu Hao.

Okay.

Thank you, Yue.

Where's the walkie-talkie?

At the handle.

Go.

Bye.

Be careful.

Go in.

Her parents are inside.

My condolences, Mr. and Mrs. Ding.

[Ms. Ding Jing's memorial service]

[Ms. Ding Jing's memorial service] [May the imminent cold dissipate, and may heaven be a magnificent bed of roses]

This way.

My condolences, Mr. and Mrs. Ding.

My condolences.

Thank you.

My condolences.

My condolences.

Qin Yue, how's it going there?

Everything's normal.

Call me if there's anything.

Isn't that your lady?

She's quite kind,

even coming here.

Are you two on a date

here?

It's inappropriate.

Cut it out.

Let's go.

You're here.

We were classmates after all.

I came to send her off.

Go in.

Her parents are inside.

[Ms. Ding Jing's memorial service]

[Ms. Ding Jing's memorial service] Thank you.

[Ms. Ding Jing's memorial service]

First bow.

Second bow.

Third bow.

Uncle, Auntie.

My condolences.

Thank you.

First bow.

Second bow.

Third bow.

My condolences.

Thank you.

[Ms. Ding Jing's memorial service]

First bow.

[Ms. Ding Jing's memorial service]

My condolences, Mrs. Ding.

My condolences, Mr. Ding.

Take care of yourselves.

Xiaolin.

Xiaolin!

Mrs. Ding!

-What’s wrong? -Xiaolin!

Xiaolin! Xiaolin!

Sit first.

-What’s wrong? -Mrs. Ding.

Are you okay?

W-What's wrong?

What's wrong, Auntie?

I feel weak...

Dizzy...

Is it hypoglycemia?

She's barely eaten these days.

I think

I'll send her home to rest.

Let me take Auntie home.

Thank you.

Here.

Sit here.

Here.

Mrs. Ding.

Are you still sick?

Do you have medicine at home?

The living room upstairs,

in the medicine box.

Okay, I'll get it.

Qin Yue!

The suspect ran towards the funeral.

Stop her.

Lu Yan.

Stay with Auntie.

Don't come out.

Professor Yu, why are you here?

Investigating a case.

You can even investigate here?

Catching the murderer soon

is the best condolence for the deceased,

isn't it?

Don't take what I said that day

personally.

I didn't mean anything else.

I didn't take it to heart.

Stop! Don't run!

What's happening there?

Don't move.

Back off.

Listen to me.

It's not too late to put down the knife,

or I'll shoot you dead!

Calm down.

You're surrounded.

You can't run away.

Put down the knife.

There's no need to hurt another person, yeah?

Don't move!

Okay, we'll back off.

Calm down.

We'll back off, okay?

We'll back off.

Calm down.

Don't hurt the hostage!

L-Look at me.

I don't have any weapon.

I'll trade with him, okay?

I'll be the hostage. I'll go with you.
