These fingers were deep-fried.
You mean killed and then cooked?
We found the remains in the food court surrounded by onlookers.
If we don't crack this case in 48 hours there will be a panic.
Mr. Qin Ming, what is it that men can do but women can't?
What are you doing?
One last chance.
Where did it come from?
The pelvis!
Judging by its size and weight, this is a female pelvis.
According to the calculation of the femur length
this woman's height should be around 1.75 meters.
[Dr. Qin] [Episode 2]
There are only 28 hours left to solve the case within the 48-hour window.
There are just those few clues.
We don't even know who the victim is.
Captain Lin.
As you instructed, we looked into all missing persons in Lihua Neighborhood.
Not including the missing persons there aren't any woman that are 1.75 meters.
However, there is a 25-year-old woman, Lian Qian Qian.
She would chat and snack with the old ladies
in the neighborhood every afternoon.
However, no one saw her in the past two weeks.
A housewife?
What does her husband do?
He's the manager of food and beverage department in International Grand Hotel.
Food and beverage?
Deep-fried... Could this be somehow related to the case?
Her husband quit his job two weeks ago.
His whereabouts are unknown.
How tall is this Lian Qian Qian?
She's about 1.6 meters.
That's quite a big gap.
Some bones are still missing and we can't calculate precisely
but according to forensic science
she can't only be 1.6 meters with such a long femur bone.
There's no point in asking. You've made no progress.
That's because we got it all wrong.
Come with me.
This is the female pubic symphysis joint
I just pieced together.
The dorso margin is visible so the victim is 25 years and older.
The marks of keel bone on the pubic symphysis are still visible.
This means that the victim is no older than 27 years old.
I've just weighed the pelvis.
It's 198 grams.
This is considered very light for a female pelvis.
This indicates that the victim is short and small.
However, the tibia bones weighed 203 grams each.
203 grams?
That's the tibia weight of an adult male.
Could it be that the victim had physical abnormalities?
Let's take a look at how these two bones appear under the microscope.
This is the surface of the pelvic bone.
It's smooth.
The next photo.
This is the surface of the tibia bone.
Men have better developed muscles, it causes a strain and tear on the bones.
The surfaces of the bones are rough.
Judging from the microscopic photos
this is obviously the tibia bone of an adult male.
Do you get it?
Chief Qin means that the remains belong to one male and one female.
Two victims?
Lian Qian Qian...
Xia Hong...
Let's take a look at Lian Qian Qian's place.
Yes!
A strong stench of blood.
It's this unit.
Preserve the crime scene.
This unit is high up in the building so the door is the only exit.
The lock hasn't been damaged.
It's possible that Lian Qian Qian's husband, Xia Hong is our suspect.
The murderer could still be in there.
Property management.
Crack the lock.
Stay safe.
It's empty. Go in.
- Cordon off the crime scene. - Yes.
Judging from the blood spatters this should be the first crime scene.
The murderer should be an acquaintance who stabbed the victim upon entry.
No.
The dark red spots on both sides of the wall aren't blood spatters.
It's stained by the flies.
After the flies fed on the corpse
they flew around the blood stains on the walls and objects.
Their feces stained various areas.
There's one obvious piece of evidence.
There isn't any stains on the light bulb.
The light bulb is too hot.
The flies don't dare to go near.
Aside from the drag and smear marks
there are also drip trails of diluted blood.
Drip trails of diluted marks?
Here, look.
It refers to blood that didn't drip from the veins.
It's blood mixed with water that caught on some object
and later dripped when the object was moved.
You've worked on trace evidence?
I did.
There's blood flow pattern on the wall.
The floor was rinsed with water.
The blood flowed toward the drain.
I can determine this as the place where he dismembered the corpse.
After the corpse was chopped up into pieces...
He moved the remains to the kitchen.
You should take a look in the kitchen.
It's even more exciting there.
The liquid has thickened.
These could be back muscles.
This is brutal. I can't stand it.
This is the crime scene where the corpses were deep-fried.
We can now confirm that there's more than one corpse?
You...
Go search for some useful fingerprints.
Thank you so much.
I've checked all the crucial crime scenes.
There are clear prints left by hands covered in gauze.
This means the murderer killed dismembered and deep-fried
the victims with gloves on.
This means that leg bone could belong to Xia Hong.
Would a husband wear gloves while killing his wife at home?
That makes sense.
Over here as well.
The blood stains here are of a different shade.
Next to the dark blood smears
you can see lighter blood smears under the ultraviolet light.
The shade of blood stains indicate the time they are exposed in the air.
The longer the time, the darker the stains.
At times, when we first inspect a crime scene, the blood is red.
Then it turns black after a week when we review the scene.
If the shades of the stains differ
it means that the murderer returned to the crime scene many times.
He might have the key.
What murderer could have the key to their home
and come here multiple times to deep fry their remains?
The lighter blood stain went all the way into the bedroom.
Human skin?
I've handled all sorts of cases.
But this is the first time I've come across this method.
The corpse was cut straight from the neck right down to its pubic symphysis.
Then the skin was peeled from both sides.
It's the same for the limbs.
It's sliced down from the middle and peeled apart.
The skin was peeled off from the superficial fascia.
There are some bits of muscle tissue on the skin.
It means that the knife used to peel the skin off is very sharp.
It's very likely to be the knife in the kitchen.
One particular note is that the killer kept the female victim's breast tissue.
That indicates a strong sense of sexual meaning.
Let's flip the skins over then?
Hold on!
There seems to be fingerprints on the breasts.
Didn't the murderer have gloves on?
Didn't he just mention a strong sense of sexual meaning?
He could have taken his gloves off to feel the breasts better.
I've finally discovered one strength of yours.
[Public Security Bureau of Longfan City]
From discovering the fried fingers in the sewage bins
to finding out who the victims are and spotting the murderer's fingerprint
it only took us approximately 20 hours.
This is quick enough.
You have all worked very hard.
Sure.
Yet we still can't confirm who the murderer is.
We only have 18 hours left.
Report!
The DNA results are out.
Does that tibia bone match Xia Hong's?
Yes.
After comparing the fingerprints in the victims' home
the fingerprint on the female victim doesn't belong to the victims.
I just received a confirmation over the phone.
We found keys in the pockets of both victims.
This means the murderer didn't take the keys from them.
The murderer must have had the keys to their home.
The remains were all dumped in the sewer close to the neighborhood
so it might mean that the murderer doesn't own a vehicle.
Who could it be?
Someone who is having an affair with one of the victims?
No.
From what we already know
Lian Qian Qian used to be a server in the hotel.
Xia Hong quickly fell in love with her because of her good looks.
After they were married they were very much in love.
They were always seen together.
They even did grocery shopping together.
We can almost rule this out as the crime of passion.
Could it be some sort of revenge?
After all, it's simply too brutal at the crime scene.
It's not that either.
After they were married Lian Qian Qian became a housewife.
She didn't keep in contact with anyone else.
Xia Hong is timid and good-tempered. A typical nice guy.
They only had a few friends.
We have also verified their fingerprints.
None of them matched the print.
Captain Lin.
Commissioner. Captain Lin.
We found Lian Qian Qian's tally book and diary at the crime scene.
We have also brought back all the remains at the crime scene.
Good.
Since everything is all set, get back to work.
Leave the dead to me.
Tardy Newbie.
Tardy Newbie!
Come and help me take notes.
Coming!
[Autopsy Room]
We have found the cause of death for both victims.
There's a huge hole on the female victim's skull.
It's a perforating fracture likely caused by a blunt weapon.
On the male victim's parietal bone is a depressed skull fracture.
This indicates that both victims were killed with the same weapon.
It's just that the male skull is thicker so the fracture seemed milder.
The same murder weapon...
It's the same for both victims.
The fracture wound is a clean and regular pattern.
If I were to analyze this...
The weapon could be a large and round hammer.
Do you think that it could be this?
Is there any information?
Let me check.
It weighs 18 pounds.
It breaks down walls and bores holes in sewers.
It's 10 centimeters in diameter.
It matches the shape of the wounds.
Who would go around killing people with a huge hammer?
Such a huge hammer isn't normally used in the home.
But a construction worker would use it.
Construction worker?
Look!
The rest are all daily expenses.
But on this day Lian Qian Qian hired someone to fix their sewer pipe.
That's right.
It's because she needed to let the worker into their home
that the door lock wasn't damaged.
There are so many workers.
How do we search for him?
I got it.
- Where are you going? - The crime scene!
When my family needed a handyman
we'd check the advertisements in the elevator.
We could figure out who the murderer is
once we go through the advertisements here.
Damn it...
There are so many advertisements.
How should we start?
Besides, Lian Qian Qian had her sewer pipe fixed two weeks ago.
She was only killed a week ago.
Could it be that the murderer did fix her sewer pipe two weeks ago
and had her keys duplicated?
No one would suspect him even if he came back a week later to kill them.
That makes sense.
Go through these advertisements then. It's Captain Lin's job.
You can do it!
There are so many!
When will I finish going through these?
Hello, where is Li Da Gou's home?
Li Da Gou?
His place has a small cart parked in front.
Right.
There's so much underwear.
It doesn't seem that any woman lives here.
He must have stolen the underwear.
This man is a pervert.
[Electric Key Maker] He could copy keys.
This is stained with blood.
This could be Lian Qian Qian's underwear.
Send this to the forensic division.
Captain Lin, we have a handprint here.
Take a photo and have it verified. Quickly!
Yes!
Li Da Gou.
Stop right there!
Stop!
Stop right there!
Get up!
I dare you to run!
Cuff him!
Why didn't you shoot me?
My life is worthless.
Behave!
Good for you, police officers.
Not all police are dumb.
I already chopped up the corpses.
How could you still manage to find me?
Tell me.
How did Lian Qian Qian offend you?
You would call that offending me?
We barely knew each other!
It was her fault that she was so careless.
Sir.
How long will it take you to repair this?
I just took a look.
It should be done soon. It's not a problem.
Thank you.
Hubby, the pipes broke down when I was taking a shower.
I'm having someone repair it now.
I was a locksmith before I got into construction work.
That's why I knew that my lock was tampered with when I opened it.
Why didn't you escape?
You're the first murderer I've met to be so candid.
Police officer, I never meant to kill anyone!
I just wanted her underwear.
Before I made the move, I observed her for a week.
I know that every day after work at 5:00 p.m.
her man would do grocery shopping with her.
I was taking down some walls downstairs that day.
I saw that it was 5:00 p.m.
I dragged my hammer with me to her home.
Who knew that she would be home that day?
Qian Qian?
Qian Qian!
Do I still need to tell you what happened next?
Why did you fry their remains?
Seeing that fair and tender flesh turn golden brown when fried...
How sexy is that?
April 4, sunny.
45 yuan spent on groceries.
18 yuan spent on home pregnancy test.
16 yuan on taxi.
A total of 79 yuan spent.
Hubby, when you wake up I'll tell you the good news.
We're finally going to have a baby.
I went grocery shopping alone today.
The auntie at the store asked me why you weren't with me.
I told her that you were ill.
This is the first time that I saw you ill.
I now know that you could also be so frail.
It's all right.
I can take good care of you.
I'm going to make you your favorite deep-fried meatballs.
You must get well soon.
Our baby wouldn't want to see Daddy sick.
Am I right?
Police force in our city was notified of the September 15 murder case.
The case was resolved in 48 hours.
The murder suspect Li was arrested.
The case will now be tried.
The dismemberment case at the food court was cracked in 48 hours.
The motive of the murder was the temptation of underwear.
A moment of negligence brought in an invader.
Household repair led to the death of a family of three.
The police have announced that the case is resolved.
The murder suspect Li confessed to the crime.
[Baby calling...]
[Case closed.]
[The devil that resides in our minds turned this city into hell. Fin.]
Take a look.
All these cars violated traffic rules.
Look, those ran a red light.
That one overtook cars.
And yours was parked illegally.
It's caused us so much trouble.
I'm sorry.
- Is this your car? - Yes.
You've paid the fine?
I did.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
- Be careful on the way. - Sorry to trouble you!
- Be careful the next time! - I will!
Drive slowly.
Butanol.
Phenethyl alcohol.
Butanol and phenethyl alcohol.
Diluted phenethyl alcohol.
You diluted it with water?
What about this?
A toe with shit on it.
An apple.
An apple that isn't very fresh.
You must have had that for a couple weeks.
Thanks.
Lin Tao gave me an apple half a month ago and a new one just now.
I couldn't tell the difference. Thanks for telling me.
That's it?
Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving.
Nothing else. Get going.
Bye bye.
What does this mean?
You're keeping her?
She's not bad.
This is the first time I've heard such a nice compliment from you.
You're not bad either.
Forget it.
I'm not some human police dog.
But it's quite interesting that we'll get to bring
a talking human police dog with us to the crime scenes.
How do you judge a human police dog like her
from a forensic scientist's perspective?
Some people have a more concentrated distribution
of olfactory nerves on their nasal mucous membrane.
That's one in a million.
It's so rare and we actually came across one?
Da Bao isn't named "A big treasure" for nothing.
Captain Lin!
Captain Lin, there's a homicide case.
Let's go.
Get that newbie in here.
