[Under the Skin Ⅱ]

[Episode 3]

Thank you.

Now that you've moved, how do you feel?

Can you sleep better?

Last night,

the girl in the red dress came to me again.

You moved for nothing.

Maybe the problem isn't the house,

but me.

What yogurt is this?

It tastes so weird.

This is...

The paint I made.

Is it toxic?

Did you swallow it?

Should I go to the hospital?

Why don't we ask He Rongyue?

Now that you've moved, how do you feel?

Can you sleep better?

Last night,

the girl in the red dress came to me again.

Something feels off to me.

Like what?

They're just an ordinary father and his daughter.

I don't know.

Looking at them just makes me uncomfortable.

Last night.

Last night, she walked past our car

in that red dress.

Her name is Sun Youning.

She was only seven this year.

Why did I let that feeling

slip my mind?

I should have trusted my feelings.

Why didn't I seize it?

What's wrong?

Yuan Zhaodi went crazy for love

and developed the urge to kill.

But she killed three people at once.

She even employed

the cruel method of slitting their throat.

I think...

Her murders were not entirely

motivated by love.

She must be hiding

a devil in her heart.

But what does

this devil look like?

Everyone's heart

houses a devil.

But not everyone will kill people.

No matter what,

it's a fact that Yuan Zhaodi killed people.

This is the most important thing for us.

I must pen down

this devil's appearance.

This is more important to me.

That's all for this artist's

recent works.

The six artists featured

in this joint art exhibition

are all deeply creative

and skilled in their crafts.

They are significant figures of

China's modern art scene.

This painter is Shen Yi.

He has a special identity.

He is a sketch artist for the Criminal Investigation Unit

of the Beijiang Public Security Bureau.

Perhaps due to his experience with life and death,

his state of mind is just like his paintings.

It's peaceful and indifferent,

yet profound and distant.

His works are not the most expensive,

but definitely

most worthy of being collected.

As for the three paintings

in front of us right now,

their artist also graduated from

the Zhongjiang Academy of Fine Arts.

What a pity.

I think it's a pity what happened

to this artist.

Why do you say that?

His painting

rely on skills more and more.

Though his skills are mature

and his thoughts rational,

he no longer retains

his keen cognition

and overflowing passion.

Artists

use their senses and touch

to express the world they see.

But he used rationality and boundaries

to bind his senses.

You know him?

No.

But through his paintings,

I can understand him.

He's a genius.

If he hadn't become a cop,

he could have been a criminal genius.

Artists

use their senses and touch

to express the world they see.

If he hadn't become a cop,

he could have been a criminal genius.

Actually, art history

also reads as criminal history.

Like Caravaggio.

He killed and fled,

but left behind masterpieces for posterity.

You should seize the moment.

Capture your excitement in fear

and use it to create.

I should have trusted my feelings.

Why didn't I seize it?

It's all fake!

Shut up!

Shut up! It's not, it's not!

He's a genius.

In this world,

most people

are useless.

Don't kill Doggie!

Useless people

should be killed.

Do you have anything else to ask?

Do me a favor.

Take a look.

Does this painting remind you of anyone?

Yes. Aunt.

Aunt.

Aunt?

Is she coming?

I'm useless now.

Aunt is coming to kill me.

I'm useless now.

Aunt is coming to kill me.

Aunt is coming to kill me.

Useless people must be killed.

I'm useless now.

Aunt is coming to kill me.

I'm useless now.

Aunt is coming to kill me.

Useless people

must be killed.

Who is this?

This is the devil

in Yuan Zhaodi's heart.

I went to see Yuan Zhaodi.

When she was young,

her grandma was always sick.

Her aunt took care of her instead.

And this aunt

is her nightmare.

In the end, she became

a part of her personality.

Yuan Zhaodi’s fierceness

came from the childhood harm

her aunt caused her.

Shen Yi.

We're the police.

Our job is to find the truth

and catch the murderer,

not social investigation.

You have the ability to see

The truth of humanity.

This is a good thing.

But you can't always let yourself

get entangled in them.

Because the deeper you fall,

the more painful it will be.

I understand your worries.

If I can't capture

the criminal's personality

hidden in their hearts,

my work will never be complete.

Drawing the appearance doesn't matter.

What I want to draw

is the heart.

Captain Cheng.

The time of the crime

is around 5 in the morning.

This should be the first scene of crime.

The victim was stabbed in the left side of his back.

He lost too much blood and became unconscious.

Hello?

The victim's information is confirmed.

[Basic information][Name: Liu Qiang]

Liu Qiang.

[Other information] [System setting]

37 years old,

He's a property manager.

What about his family?

He divorced four years ago.

His ex-wife left the city long ago.

[Related experience] [Occupation][Property Manager]

[Related experience] [Family information]

He has a seven-year-old son

under his care.

And he's usually very friendly

with little to no enemies.

Three weeks before the stabbing,

he posted a missing person notice.

He lost his son,

who is blind.

[Family Information][Name: Liu Xiaopeng]

I'll send you

[Name: Liu Qiang][Education: Undergraduate]

the missing person notice he posted

[Education: Undergraduate][Household Registration: Beijiang City]

right now.

Okay.

Captain Cheng.

I found a kid's backpack.

It's full of loose change.

There's a notebook too.

But I cannot tell what's drawn

in it.

Okay.

Could it be his child's?

Li Han said his child went missing for three weeks.

But these things appeared

at the crime scene at this moment.

It's very likely that someone

kidnapped him and blackmailed Liu Qiang.

It's possible.

He was stabbed in the left rib.

It's very likely

he got hurt while fighting.

Captain Cheng.

The missing person notice.

[Missing Person]

This isn't right.

Li Han said his son was

seven years old.

But the photo on the missing person's notice

looks like the photo

of a three to four-year-old.

Liu Qiang was stabbed.

A blind child is missing.

Then can we merge and

investigate these two cases together?

No hurry.

By the way,

I saw a surveillance camera

over there just now.

It's 30 meters away from the crime scene.

But it's broken.

The case reporter

is a citizen who came here for a jog.

He witnessed part of the process.

We've brought him back to the bureau.

Mr. Shen and Mr. Yan are handling him.

What is that place?

Past this embankment

is the city village.

They are all illegally constructed shantytown areas.

It's a complicated place.

Foot traffic is very high there.

Jiang Feng.

Let's take a look there.

Look out for kids.

Okay.

His eyes are not big.

[Inquiry Room]

His eyebrows and lips

are nothing special.

He has a big nose.

But the bridge of his nose is not high.

The part below the bridge

is significantly bigger.

Now,

forget the culprit's face.

I need you to carefully recall

the situation at the

riverbank back then.

Look.

Was it like this?

Yes.

The situation back then looked like this.

Alright.

Now, follow my lead and slowly recall it.

At that time,

you were running along the riverbank

from the west to the east.

The air was moist.

The mist was heavy.

It was quiet all around.

Suddenly,

you heard a quarrel.

So, you looked toward the front diagonally.

About 50 meters away,

you saw that someone

had collapsed.

The other person

was running away.

He shouted in despair

and ran with all his might.

By the sound of his voice,

he was quite old.

But his footsteps

were quite light when he ran.

It didn't suit

how old he looked.

Also, he was...

doing a tiptoe running.

You know,

when the front of the foot lands first.

What does that mean?

Based on my experience,

he has been trained.

But it didn't work out.

What about his speed?

Speed...

He wasn't slow.

I had my eyes on him as he ran.

The surroundings

blurred in comparison.

He ran quite fast.

Come in.

Is the portrait out?

His description was too detailed.

He was at least 50 meters

away from the crime scene.

Before sunrise,

the riverside was foggy.

He wouldn't have seen it so clearly.

His memory is contaminated.

Let's follow your portrait

and find him first.

Don't change the subject.

At 6 a.m.,

where were you?

I...

I was free in the morning,

so I went out to sell some DVDs.

A lot of old men

do their morning exercises there.

Why do you need a knife for that?

It's for self-defense.

That place is next to the city village.

It's a mess there.

I was robbed there before.

You found him so quickly?

Yes.

According to your portrait,

we went to a riverside near the crime scene

where the elderly often

fished and exercised,

and found him.

When we caught him,

he was selling R-rated DVDs.

I think I get it now.

Before the incident,

the witness met Li Bo.

It left him with a deep negative impression.

After the stabbing incident,

the witness was too nervous.

Seeing that the murderer's figure

was a bit like Li Bo's,

he took Li Bo's facial features

and misplaced them on the culprit.

This is more accurate.

Search with this?

How?

This is all we have.

In city villages like this,

both the environment

and the demographics

are very complicated.

Where should we start?

The culprit should be

an agile young man.

How did you know?

The witness is a football coach.

His impression of

actions, distance, and pace

should be more reliable than his impression

of appearances.

He said the culprit ran on tiptoe.

But based on

his sports experience,

the culprit didn't seem like

someone who had been through

full running training.

So someone like that would have

more developed calve gastrocnemius muscle

and tibialis anterior muscle.

His running stance

would be more like that of a young man.

Give it back!

Let go!

Give it to me. I found it first.

What are you doing?

So someone like that would have

more developed calve gastrocnemius muscle

and tibialis anterior muscle.

Get out of here.

If you keep chasing, I'll kill you!

Sir.

Are you okay?

Let me check where I bumped into you.

[Room for rent]

If you're fine, I'm leaving.

[Room for rent]

Let go!

Are you in cahoots?

What cahoots?

[Room for rent]

Who are you?

I'm a cop.

Du Cheng.

That kid just now.

What about him?

I think he ran on tiptoes.

The police are here!

Why are you shouting?

The police are here!

Where is he?

I told you, he's ahead.

Be careful!

Run!

Where is he?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

They must be in cahoots.

They know the terrain here well.

Du Cheng.

What are you doing?

Captain Cheng.

Before Liu Qiang was injured,

the last person he contacted with his phone

was a part-timer in the city village,

[Li Han]

Zhang Meilan.

Jiang Feng found Zhang Meilan.

She said she saw Liu Qiang's

missing people notice that day

and remembered seeing Xiaopeng

with a gangster in the

city village.

So she gave Liu Qiang

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

a call to provide information.

The physique and behavior of that boy

who ran on tiptoe

are very similar to the portrait I drew

according to the witness's statement.

The imprisoned child

is Liu Qiang’s son. Xiaopeng.

We'll start with Xiaopeng

to investigate Liu Qiang’s injury case.

Inform Yan.

[Li Han]

Let him interrogate them first.

Yes, Captain Cheng.

Shen Yi.

Shen...

[Beijiang Children's Hospital]

He feels a bit hot.

He's still having a fever.

The infection index is still a bit high.

I'm Huang Wenhua.

People call me

Chicken.

If you like,

you can call me Rooster too.

Yun Lei.

They call me Lei.

I collect waste and deliver food.

Just making do, sir.

My name is Ertou.

Lei named me.

Zhuang.

I'm Ma Xiaozhuang.

If you're done, hurry and let us go,

will you?

I have a card game

waiting for me.

I never change my name

no matter where I go.

I'm Rat.

Lei and I

work here together.

We're close buds.

What?

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

Feng, go back first.

How is it?

He has blunt and sharp weapon injuries

all over his body.

Some of his wounds failed to heal

before they were wounded again.

The assailant

didn't deliberately avoid the vital part.

The assailant assaulted him

without restraint, like a lunatic.

Could they be beating him up

so he could beg for money?

Maybe.

We found the kid's bag

with loose change inside

at the crime scene.

He might have

begged for them on the streets.

When did Xiaopeng

end up with you guys?

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

A... A few weeks ago, I think.

So how did he get

those new injuries?

Locking someone in a cage

is called illegal detention.

Beating someone is called intentional injury.

The five of you will be punished together.

You'll be jailed for a few years.

Unless...

You make up for it.

What did you do this morning?

Officer.

Can the five of us

share one jail cell?

What do you mean?

We're used to living together.

I can't sleep without them.

The street staff

acting as Xiaopeng's temporary guardian

is already inside.

Xiaopeng.

A police officer

wants to ask you something.

You can call him Mr. Du.

Hello, Xiaopeng.

Can you tell me

who did this to you?

Touch this.

[Public Security]

This is

a police badge.

People with this badge

will protect you.

Don't worry.

No one will

hurt you again.

[Public Security]

Were you trained in running?

You investigated me?

Yun Lei, you're still young.

It's not too late to turn back.

You adults are

full of nonsense.

How long have you been here?

Three years.

Don't you want to go home?

Never.

Where did you hide the knife?

This trick, huh?

I hid it in my pants.

Why did you guys

lock Xiaopeng up?

Just

for

fun.

The five of them are united.

They have conspired

to keep their mouths shut.

[Liu Qiang Stabbing Case] [Five-member Group]

These kids

frequented the police station.

They're experienced.

They won't fess up willingly.

Captain Cheng.

We've searched the city village.

We didn't find

the weapon that stabbed Liu Qiang.

It could have been thrown into the river.

Liu Qiang is still in the ICU.

He's in a coma.

We extracted the traces we found

on the cage that Xiaopeng was in.

But the analysis

needs more time.

Also, we found a kid's bag

at the crime scene.

The traces on it have been analyzed.

There are some loose changes inside

and a notebook.

On this small bag, we found

fingerprints belonging to

Xiaopeng, Liu Qiang,

and the five teenagers.

[Liu Qiang]

In this notebook

are some strange

raised marks.

We asked a Braille teacher,

but it remains unidentified.

Most of the notes

are worth one or two yuan.

A few of them are worth more.

They seem to be received from begging.

[Five-member Group][Illegal confinement][Intentional assault]

Seems like he was really being forced to beg.

Mr. Shen.

Do you think that

the marks on the notebook

are Xiaopeng's secret record

of his abuse?

What did Xiaopeng say?

[China Police]

Xiaopeng refused any communication.

He didn't respond when I asked him.

I'm afraid

verbal communication

alone is useless.

Xiaopeng is blind.

Moreover, he's a person who has suffered

emotional and physical trauma.

Facing a strange environment,

it's normal for him to be

anxious and distrusting.

Blind kids

tend to feel the world

better with their hands.

Here.

Xiaopeng.

Touch it.

Guess what it is.

Here.

Guess

what this is.

A figurine.

Xiaopeng, you're so smart.

Xiaopeng,

do you know who

this is?

You don't know?

It's okay.

Let's change to another one.

What about this?

Feel it again.

This person has a big mouth.

A person with a big mouth?

Xiaopeng.

Do you know this person

with a big mouth?

What about this?

And this one?

You don't know this one either?

Here, touch it.

Xiaopeng, you seem to know

who this one is.

Xiaopeng.

Does he look like

the one who made you upset?

I made figurines of the five teens

and let Xiaopeng touch them.

I found that

he didn't recognize

Chicken, Ertou,

Xiaozhuang, and Rat.

He didn't respond at all.

But when he touched

Yun Lei's figurine,

I saw his hands halt.

His expression changed too.

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

He obviously recognized him.

This means that Yun Lei

had close contact with him.

But when I

tried to ask him more,

he stopped talking.

How about letting Xiaopeng

listen to Yun Lei's voice?

He might react to it.

[Beijiang Children's Hospital]

Xiaopeng,

I'm Auntie Zhao from the community.

These two police officers

want to ask you some questions.

Xiaopeng.

Let me play you a recording.

See if it sounds like the person

who hurt you.

Yun Lei.

They call me Lei.

School is useless.

You investigated me?

You adults are

full of nonsense.

This trick, huh?

Xiaopeng.

Is this the voice?

Did he bully you?

Did he hurt you?

Don't be afraid.

This person

has been caught by me.

As long as you tell me

how he bullied you,

I can send him

to the prison.

He will never

hurt you again.

When your father recovers...

It's not him!

He didn't hit me!

Go away!

[Treat patients with love and care]

What's wrong, Xiaopeng?

Who is the bad guy?

Tell me.

Who is the bad guy?

Okay.

Xiaopeng said it wasn't him.

Then it's not him.

Well,

Xiaopeng, do you remember

what the bad guy who bullied you

looks like?

For example,

did you touch his face?

Was there anything special about his face?

He...

His

eyes

had shells

on the outside.

Shells?

You mean...

Glasses?

Is this the shell?

Good job.

What about his nose?

His nostrils

were

this big.

So thick?

What about his eyebrows?

This uncle's is thicker.

And the glasses?

Was he wearing it like that?

Yes.

Okay.

And his nose?

His nose...

is bigger than this uncle's.

[Treat patients with love and care]

[Treat patients with love and care]

Xiaopeng.

Touch it. Is it this person?

Yes.
