[Third Bro]
Perhaps she went to bed after she sent you that message as a joke.
That's impossible.
- I better go back. - But you haven't slept.
It's more than an hour drive to Lin An Mountain.
- Keep interrogating him. - But--

[Episode 7]
Xu Xu...
Xu Xu!
A woman's body's been found at 3 You Ma Road in Lin An Mountain.
- Captain Ji wants you to go. - Master?
- I thought he was in Xiang Chuan. - He sent us an urgent message.
I think he knew the victim.
The victim is Ye Zi Xi.
Female, 29 years old, single.
Manager Of Ye Corporation's overseas investment department.
No immediate family, no criminal record.
She bought this mansion through a property agent six months ago.
According to her assistant
she attended a regular department meeting yesterday afternoon.
At around 5:30 p.m. she left the office and went home.
According to the person who found the body...
This morning...
I saw a message from the victim calling out for help.
It was sent at 12:20 a.m.
[Help me, 3 You Ma Road.]
I called her back, but she didn't pick up.
So I called the Lin An Mountain police station and asked for help.
Then I drove here from Xiang Chuan Province.
When the Lin An Mountain police arrived at 7:30 a.m. Ye Zi Xi was already dead.
Her body was covered with that white jacket.
Xiao Fang, go check the surveillance video with Old Li.
- Give your report to Xu Xu. - Yes.
Take note.
The weapons were five special knives produced by Ye Corporation
measuring about 35 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide.
They were stabbed into the victim's chest and four limbs.
No fingerprints were left on the weapons.
There are no signs that the body was moved after she was killed.
This must have been where she was killed.
The victim's soft tissue contusion must have been caused by falling from here.
Third Bro.
You're still the same old Third Bro.
However... I'm no longer the same old Ye Zi.
Master, since you had a special relationship with the victim
let me do it.
12 women's jackets.
Blouses, suits, skirts, pajamas...
three handbags, six pairs of shoes.
No men's clothing.
How many times have you investigated a crime scene before?
This is my first time.
She was my closest friend.
My little sister.
I'm very sad.
Finding the killer...
is the only thing that I can do for her now.
I must do it myself.
Ye Zi Xi always had stomach cramps.
She felt injections were more effective.
That's why she kept these at home.
There's some food for one person on the dining table.
It's been left there for at least eight hours.
Third Bro.
Thank you for finding my dad's relic.
Master.
The crime scene is the mansion that Ye Zi Xi's bought half a year ago.
All doors and windows are intact without any signs of violence.
The crime scene is very tidy.
No expensive items are missing.
So we can rule out the possibility of burglary and murder.
Captain Ji, all the surveillance videos have been deleted.
Even the hard disk's been taken.
Since it's an remote mansion, we couldn't find any witnesses.
We didn't find the victim's phone, so the killer might have taken it.
Looks like the killer has a lot of investigation knowledge.
We should start with the people who knew Ye Zi Xi.
On the night of the murder, the victim only prepared her own late night supper.
So she wasn't expecting any visitors.
Since all doors and windows were closed
Ye Zi Xi must have opened the door from the inside.
That means it was someone she knew very well.
Or else she wouldn't have let him come into her house.
Then there's the killer's behavior.
By stabbing the knives into the victim's body
it's unnecessary torture.
It's more like some kind of ceremony or symbolism.
When the body was first discovered the wounds were covered with a jacket.
So I reckon not only did the killer know Ye Zi Xi...
But he had mixed feelings toward her.
Also, the victim had a lover.
This mansion is the place where she'd meet up with her lover.
Just tell us what you think.
If my guess is right
there are at least three empty spaces in the shoe cabinet.
Although there are no signs that a man is living in this mansion...
based on the decoration and the car magazines on the coffee table
it doesn't look like that a woman is living here alone.
There are five closets in the walk-in wardrobe.
Two of them were half-empty and the clothes were in a mess.
But based on the furnishings of this mansion
I believe Ye Zi Xi was a very neat and tidy person.
So it's very likely
the other person took away his clothes in a rush...
And moved the victim's clothes over to his closet...
as a cover-up.
Considering Ye Zi Xi's fame
news would have spread if she had been in a normal relationship.
With her financial ability, if she had wanted to buy a mansion
why did she choose such a remote area
when she could have chosen a more convenient area?
This also supports my speculation about Zhang Shi Yong's abduction case.
I think there's something going on between Zhang Shi Yong and Ye Zi Xi.
How could a man like you do something like that?
There are plenty of other ways to earn money.
Why did you have to take advantage of women and children?
When you close your eyes and sleep at night aren't you feel scared?
I'm talking to you!
During our investigation, we found out that you're an orphan.
And you were one of the children that they abducted.
If you've already been through such torture...
would you want other children to go through the same thing?
I know you wouldn't.
That's why you weren't directly involved with hurting those women and children.
Now is the chance for you to change your destiny
and the destiny of the people you've hurt.
You can also change the destiny of those bastards.
Chen Yong's such an animal.
Why did he have to kill that girl?
Guan Nan.
If you keep wasting our time, then you'll lose your one and only chance.
Tell us about Big Boss.
I... I've only heard about him.
They said he's very tall and very coldblooded.
Yang Meng's a great girl.
She can be a little rough at times though.
If her future husband makes her angry she'll probably knock his teeth out.
Whoever marries her would be such a lucky guy.
Why would he make her angry?
- Go on. - I'm going, bye.
All they ever want is our money.
Money, money, money!
Damn it.
General Manager Ye, there's someone at reception who--
Get out! Can't you see I'm busy right now?
I'm not seeing anyone!
Are you blind?
- Who is it? - It's the police.
They said they need to speak to General Manager Ye
and our manager in private.
General Manager Zhang, thank you for your cooperation.
Can you tell me about your schedule on the day of the murder?
I had dinner with Zhang Shi Yong until around 8:00 p.m.
Then I bought some cake before I went home.
On the way home, I received a call from an overseas distributor.
So I stayed in the office from around midnight until 2:00 a.m.
- Do you have a witness? - No, I was asleep.
So when was the last time that you saw the victim?
Two nights ago.
At our company's cafeteria.
How long have you known the victim?
How long have I known her?
Ages.
How long have you known the victim?
Almost 20 years.
It's been too long to remember.
We have a regular family gathering every Saturday.
We rarely see each other anymore.
I can't believe she's actually...
Did you notice anything strange about her?
She's always been very friendly no matter what the occasion was.
That's what I'd liked about her.
- So what's your relationship to her? - She's my cousin.
She's my older brother's
only child.
After my brother passed away I took care of her for him.
As far as you know, did the victim have any enemies?
Enemies? What do you mean?
A rich girl who's smart and pretty.
I'm sure there are people who are jealous of her.
Even if there were...
They'd just be business competitors.
Based on our psychologist's analysis
the victim's lover is the most likely suspect.
But after having talked to all those people
nobody knew about her boyfriend.
All we have are her emails and call history.
It's going to be another late night.
I thought we could take two days off after that abduction case.
You guys should learn from Yang Meng.
She's still working with her bandaged arm.
You know what?
Long Xi's first-generation legal person was Ye Lan Yuan's brother, Ye Lan Qing.
Long Xi's "Xi" is the same "Xi" as Ye Zi Xi's "Xi."
Ye Lan Qing was going to let his only daughter take over his business.
Unfortunately after he passed away, Long Xi was taken over by Ye Lan Yuan.
Ye Zi Xi was a department manager
but her shares weren't even one fifth of Ye Lan Yuan's daughter's.
Let me explain how a rich family works.
An orphaned rich girl falls into the hands of evil.
What a shame.
- That hurts. - Does it?
Instead of wasting time gossiping can you spend more time on our cases?
Okay.
Keep eating.
Captain Ji.
Sir!
I have to go.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
You even eat like a snail.
How did it go?
He told us who his boss is.
It's a person called Brother Lu.
He said they're about to have another deal in our area.
It's going to take place in Jia He.
Zhao Yuan and Wan Da Cai also work with Chen Yong.
They were also part of Zhang Shi Yong's kidnapping.
Looks like Jia He Labor Market is their key point of contact.
Submit a report to Commissioner Zhan.
We must have a meticulous plan to raid Jia He.
Try to get more insight into it.
Make sure you don't raise any alarms.
Third Bro, Ye Zi Xi--
We've found the key point, all we need is evidence.
- So-- - I'll go and talk to the evidence now.
Ye Zi Xi's dead.
Do you have you any idea who the killer might be?
She's dead?
She was stabbed to death.
Five knives.
The same kind of knives you'd used before.
That bastard.
He still ended up killing Zi Xi.
Tell me his name.
Zhang Shi Yong, you bastard.
He took her body, but he couldn't win her heart.
Who told you that he was in a relationship with Ye Zi Xi?
I should have killed him before.
It's your fault.
He would have been dead if it wasn't for you.
And you.
She liked you a lot.
She'd admired you ever since she was young.
But did you protect her?
Did you protect her at all?
You bastard.
You're all bastards!
- Third Bro! Go! - Go...
Block him! Go...
90.
[Adjusting]
220.
[Thinking]
How's he doing?
He took 220 shots and made 194 of them.
That's a success rate of 88.2 percent.
I mean how is he doing emotionally.
Come on, let's have a game.
Are you sure?
Hold this.
Come on, you two can join us.
Yang Meng hurt her shoulder.
It's okay, I'll use one hand to give you an advantage.
You should use your injured arm to give them an advantage.
You can be on Master's team.
Come on.
Hey, I'm not any worse than he is.
That's not up to you to decide.
Prove it.
Fine, then I'll show you what I've got.
Yang Meng, block him, go!
Good shot!
Good block.
On the same day every month
I ask you all to come back for dinner as a way to commemorate your uncle.
From today on, we'll be commemorating one more person.
Ye Zi Xi.
Big Bro.
I know that Zi Xi was your only child.
I didn't look after her.
I'm very sorry.
Let's have dinner.
Let's eat.
Start eating.
I don't feel well, I'm going home.
Dad, I better take Qiao Qiao home.
Don't go anywhere.
Hey, don't make your dad angry.
Dad.
You probably wish Ye Zi Xi was your daughter, right?
Qiao Qiao...
Qiao Qiao.
When she was alive she always wanted to ruin this family.
Now that she's dead...
she's still trying to ruin our family.
