The victim is young.
Her hymen is intact.
Rule out non-standard sexual intercourse.
No sexual assault?
Why would she wrap up an empty ring box so carefully?
This ring must mean a lot to her.
We can be sure of one thing.
Qi Jing Jing has a mysterious boyfriend.
Sun Kai was Qi Jing Jing's mysterious boyfriend.
The victim probably died of strangulation.
But the pattern seems a bit weird...
Li Xu, male. 31 years old.
He owns an outdoor sporting goods store.
Listed as his first dating requirement, "Virgin."
She even emphasized that she's a virgin.
Anyway, I found the purest love in the world.
I'm sorry. I deceived you.
Was taking out her molar a way to torture her as well?
I was told to pull out her molar and leave it next to her corpse.
Who is that person?
[Medical Examiner Dr. Qin] [Episode 6]
Jing Jing...
I have a question for you.
Did you ever love me?
Even if...
It was just for a second.
Do you still remember when we first met?
You were sitting in that bus.
At dusk...
That last ray of sunlight lit you up so holy and pure.
You looked so beautiful.
I won't take a bus again.
It reeked of sweat.
Take me home now.
Here are my regular customers.
Since you're such great supporters of my restaurant
as the owner I should serve you personally.
- Thanks. - We have an ongoing promotion.
Couples who take photos hand in hand
and post it on our event board get 70 percent off.
70 percent off?
What should we do?
Should we do it?
We don't mind who is in the photo.
I...
I miss Baby.
Tell her to join us then.
- A salad and a coffee. - Sure.
Sirloin steak and a bottle of beer.
I'd like a food fighter combo and a large Coke.
One moment, please.
You're having such a high-calorie meal.
Aren't you worried about indigestion?
No.
Judging from your basal metabolic rate and this meal's calorie count
you'll consume an extra 600 calories today.
You'll need to run for an hour and a half to burn them off.
Otherwise, the calories will turn into fat
and build up in parts of your body.
You're such a perverse data maniac.
I told you.
Serves someone right to be single for being bad at conversing.
You majored in medicine as well. That was just basic biology--
Why do I remember that someone is against speaking during a meal?
Qin is just concerned about you.
I'm worried that he'll be troubled for being overly concerned.
You must try to appreciate such concern slowly.
- Your beer. - Thanks!
Madam, there's an issue with your coffee today.
It wasn't ground fresh, it is three or four hours old.
Please bring me a new one.
I'll get you a new one immediately.
Qin.
Serves you right to be single.
Look at her!
Another one!
Pretending to be dead again?
- Another one! - Get up!
This knife does look quite real.
The blood looks real, too!
Get up, Miss!
Get up!
The knife looks quite real.
So many pretended to be dead today.
- Stop pretending! - Get up!
Get up, Miss!
She's really dead?
Someone has been killed!
Run!
[Dressing Room]
She was stabbed so many times.
There are many wounds in her abdomen.
None of them are deep.
This is a plastic combat knife.
How professional could the killer be to use such a knife for murder?
None of the wounds on her abdomen are lethal.
The victim is Tao Zi.
She was 24 years old.
She was tabloid journalist.
Everyone is dressed up in costumes
because the club is hosting a horror themed party tonight.
Was the victim stabbed to death?
She might not have been.
We need to do an autopsy right away.
See you back at the bureau.
Sure.
[Autopsy Room]
In my preliminary examination
I discovered a butterfly shaped tattoo under her collar bone.
There is some glittery powder under the nails of her right hand.
She suffered seven stab wounds to her abdomen.
One was deeper than others.
- Prepare for autopsy. - Yes.
Judging from the depth of her stab wounds
none of the seven stabs are lethal.
Open up her chest cavity.
Sure.
Scissors.
My preliminary judgment is that her pulmonary valve is narrow.
The size of her heart is weird as well.
The usual size of a heart is about the size of one's fist.
This heart is about 1.5 times bigger than her fist.
This means she might have congenital heart defect.
An average female heart weighs about 250 to 300 grams.
Hers is almost 400 grams.
I have to examine her organs under the microscope to see
if she has other pathological abnormalities.
[Police Forensic Laboratory]
I've been examining that heart all night.
I feel like having some grilled chicken hearts now.
Young lady, your appetite is growing.
Kiddo, this means you're still too inexperienced.
We've ruled out stabbing as her cause of death.
Our preliminary judgment is that
the real cause of death is a heart attack.
Heart attack?
Her pulmonary valve is narrow.
That's enough to trigger a heart attack causing her sudden death.
From our investigation into the victim's friends and colleagues
none of them knew that she had heart disease.
All of them said that Tao Zi was very bold and fond of horror films.
She often took part in horror themed parties.
That's why the club owner, Li Tian Qi, invited her.
However, our research on the victim's heart indicates
that there are three possible causes of death.
First, polycardia. Abnormally rapid heart rate caused by strenuous exercise.
Judging from the rigidity of the corpse
she didn't take part in any strenuous exercise.
Second, cardiac dysfunction caused by an irregular lifestyle.
The skin of the corpse is hydrated and smooth
showing no signs of an irregular lifestyle.
Da Bao does show signs of an irregular lifestyle.
His bad attitude is an early symptom of menopause.
Third, heart attack caused by extreme shock.
But everyone we interviewed said that she was very bold.
Can we also rule out the third cause?
Judging from the condition of her heart
the third cause of death is the most likely.
But as a professional cosplayer
and a frequent participant of horror themed parties
it seems unlikely that she would have been scared to death.
Unless, she was frightened by something she truly feared.
However, we haven't ruled out the possibility of drugs.
By the way, I just went to the Trace Evidence Division
and attained Tao Zi's belongings. We found this in her coat.
Quick cardiac relief pills?
Yes, we found it empty.
Only Tao Zi's fingerprints were on it.
So this should belong to her.
There's a blood stain on it.
The Trace Evidence Division ruled out human blood.
It's just syrup made to look like blood.
There's fake blood on it?
This means Tao Zi only took the pills after she did her makeup.
It was after the party had started that she took the pills.
We also found two traces of blood on Tao Zi's hands.
One real and one fake.
If the bottle of pills had been stained with real blood
it would mean she took the pills after she was stabbed.
However, the bottle was only stained with fake blood.
This indicates that she took the pills before she was even stabbed.
There are many wounds on her abdomen.
None of them are deep.
Extract the victim's stomach contents for residue of the pills.
And...
Let's check the empty bottle for foul play.
Perhaps the pills were substituted.
What could the pills have been substituted with?
A lot of drugs could cause rapid blood flow to the heart
and cause it to beat abnormally.
Under such circumstances
if someone stabbed the victim with a knife...
Or agitated her in some way to cause her emotional distress
she would be likely to die a sudden death from a heart attack.
Emotional distress?
During our investigation yesterday
they told us that Tao Zi had a heated argument with the club owner, Li Tian Qi.
I think that I need to investigate him.
None of our speculations mean anything now.
We have to go back to this bottle.
I have to say...
You sound more and more like Qin Ming now.
Get out.
Your breathing disturbs me.
I'm more concerned about...
What was she so frightened of?
Officer Lin.
Here's our surveillance video.
I heard that before Tao Zi died last night
she met you in private?
Yes, she did.
You had an argument?
No, we were just squabbling.
Squabbling?
Why did you squabble with her?
There were too many customers last night so I didn't attend to her well.
We're close friends so we often squabble.
I heard that she was your classmate in high school?
Yes.
Did you know that she had heart disease?
Our teacher mentioned it when we were in high school.
Tao Zi was very bold.
She never had a heart attack so we didn't take it seriously.
Sure, I got it.
I'll contact you if there are further questions.
Sure.
[Forensic Laboratory]
Anything new?
I found traces of tricyclic antidepressants in the bottle.
Such atypical antidepressants are the worst for patients with heart disease.
Your speculation seems to be right.
Let me show you something.
Look.
On the night of murder the club owner did meet up with Tao Zi.
They had an argument.
But it's possibly not the club owner who substituted the pills.
They were classmates in high school.
They were pretty close.
However, from the video, we can tell
that the club owner was running his business from reception.
He never left his spot.
Although they had an argument
Tao Zi left the scene very soon.
The club owner couldn't have substituted Tao Zi's pills
from her coat in such a short timeframe.
However, I find the attitude of the club owner very strange.
They had an argument and it was very obvious in the video.
When I questioned the club owner
he gave me very vague answers.
Is he hiding something from us?
But he didn't have a chance to substitute the pills.
We can rule him out as the murderer.
Are there any other clues?
On the night of murder
Tao Zi also met up with another person.
Who was that?
Zhang Yi.
That famous actress?
Exactly. I looked her up online.
She's bothered by various rumors and scandals.
All the scandals were exposed by the same insider.
Could it all have been done by Tao Zi?
How smart.
But she does have a motive for murder.
They also met up before her death.
Shouldn't we pay her a visit?
I'll go with you.
Sure.
Miss Zhang, can we ask if you met up with Tao Zi yesterday?
I did.
What is it?
She's...
Dead.
What? She's dead?
Is this some sort of reality television show?
You saw our police badges.
No...
Do you suspect me of murder?
This is hilarious.
All right. I...
There have been quite a few negative stories about me recently.
I met up with her to shut her up with money.
People like her will stop reporting
negative news about you once you pay them.
We don't contact each other in private.
Boss, Wan Wan is home.
Wan Wan, you're home!
Tell Mommy if you had a good time.
- She's been good. - She behaved?
This is...
My assistant, Meng Meng.
Meng Meng, take Wan Wan inside.
Get the police officers some water.
Sure.
I admit that I didn't really like Tao Zi.
But I wouldn't resort to killing her, would I?
It's ridiculous of you to suspect me.
If you need any evidence
I'm happy to cooperate.
Thank you.
- Please have some tea. - Thank you.
Did you know that Tao Zi had heart disease?
She had heart disease?
Stop joking!
Whenever she came running after me she was faster than male journalists!
Will you cooperate with us and let us take your fingerprints?
Sure, if you need me to.
All right.
Here.
Can this ink be rinsed off?
Yes, it's rinsable. You need to give us all 10 fingerprints.
Please bring us some wet tissue.
Yes...
Good, thanks.
All right, we won't disturb you any longer.
If any questions come up we'll be in touch.
Sorry to disturb you for just a moment longer.
We are both big fans.
Would you mind asking your assistant take a photo of the three of us?
What?
Did you just come here for a picture?
Thanks.
One, two, three.
Cheese!
[Police Forensic Laboratory]
The fingerprint on the knife doesn't match Zhang Yi's.
I expected as much.
Tao Zi's friends didn't know that she had heart disease.
Not to mention a female celebrity whose photos were taken sneakily.
The clue leads to a dead end again.
I have someone else's fingerprint.
Compare it to the murderer's.
Whose is it?
Compare it to the murderer's first.
[Positive match]
Whose fingerprint is that?
Zhang Yi's assistant, Meng Meng.
When we went to Zhang Yi's home
we were talking to her about Tao Zi's murder.
I realized that Zhang Yi only showed rage but not panic.
Do you suspect me of murder?
So I ruled out Zhang Yi.
Then I realized that her assistant Meng Meng looked nervous.
That was when I came up with an idea.
Would you mind asking your assistant take a photo of the three of us?
Da Bao!
Well done!
I thought that you were really star struck!
Commend your apprentice. She did really well.
Don't bother.
[Criminal Investigation Team]
[Interrogation Room] Explain yourself.
I did stab her.
But she deserved it.
Please elaborate.
I've worked with my boss for more than four years.
I do her bidding and chores every day.
I take care of her at all times.
I go with her to television shows.
I go with her to film on the sets.
Day and night, I take care of her without any complaints.
I've never taken a day off.
But she still hit me.
She wanted to fire me.
It was all because of that bitch, Tao Zi.
I thought that she approached me
because she really wanted to be my friend.
Who knew that she just wanted to know more secrets about my boss?
She then added more to the facts and made up fake stories.
She even ratted me out to my boss
saying that I had told her about my boss's personal matters.
She made me a loser on both sides.
So you had her killed?
I didn't kill her.
I used a plastic knife.
It didn't even have a real blade.
How could that have possibly killed her?
Did you know about her heart disease?
I didn't. She never mentioned it.
I was slapped by my boss.
That was all.
I only wanted to teach her a lesson.
I went to see her.
It happened to be a costume party.
They wouldn't let me in if I didn't dress up.
I had my makeup done and saw her coming into the dressing room.
She was telling the truth.
The wounds on the victim are very shallow.
They were small stabs.
Only one was relatively deeper.
However, the blade entered the flesh at an angle that indicates
that the victim most likely fell onto the knife and stabbed herself.
The person holding the knife probably never meant to hurt her.
She didn't think that would happen.
Why would the victim be in the dressing room?
The party was at its climax.
Judging from the victim's personality, she should have been out having fun then.
Most importantly, when did she take the antidepressants?
After she was stabbed she had blood on her hands.
There was only fake blood on the bottle but not human blood.
This means she was already frightened by something before she was stabbed.
We can only deduce that there was another murderer in the club.
Both culprits accidentally took actions on the same day.
We have to check the crime scene again.
I just discovered something interesting.
Mr. Li.
We need to know what you were arguing about with Tao Zi on the night of murder.
It was just about a trivial matter.
There are no trivial matters.
This is a murder case!
If you won't come clean
we will have to take action!
We need to examine the dressing room.
The dressing room?
What was your new discovery?
The victim had this powder under her nails.
This is luminous powder.
This is the first thing I noticed.
Secondly, Tao Zi was a professional photographer.
More precisely, she was a professional candid photographer.
She knew all about candid photography.
One method in candid photography is to make a one-way mirror.
If you place your fingers on a mirror
and there isn't a gap between your fingers and the reflection
it proves that the mirror is a one-way mirror.
Normally, in a mirror, there's a gap between the object and its reflection.
[Storage Room]
Explain this.
It's just my hobby to film women secretly when they get changed.
But I've never distributed any of these videos.
Who cares about that?
Answer me.
Were you arguing with Tao Zi about this?
She discovered that I was filming her.
She argued with me over it.
I promised to pay her 100,000 yuan not to rat me out.
It's that simple.
Where are the other videos?
They are downstairs.
Take us there.
Captain Lin, the videos are ready.
Okay.
She must have gone out to pick a fight with him then.
Tao Zi's trench coat is the yellow one closest to the mirror.
We don't get to see him substitute the pills in the video.
That's it?
I was hoping that we could close the case with this video.
Can we find this guy from the costume he wore?
About 60 percent of the customers in this club showed up in that outfit.
It's the disposable one that was sold at the entrance that night.
There's nothing to investigate.
You're right.
I found a clue.
The powder on the one-way mirror is luminous.
That guy leaned on it for a while.
Whatever he did
his cloak must be stained with luminous powder.
Fortunately, it was a huge party.
We have enough visual data of that night.
I had the detectives collect everything.
From this video, you can see
that after this guy left the dressing room
he went straight to the entrance.
- That means-- - He didn't come for the party.
He was there for something else.
To avoid being discovered
he never once took his mask off.
We have enough clues already.
But we still don't know what he looks like.
He would have attracted a lot of attention in that outfit on the streets.
So he drove here?
We'll have to rely on our densely located traffic cameras in the city.
[Public Security Bureau of Longfan City]
[Criminal Investigation Team]
We got him.
We got him!
Damn!
When did you fall asleep?
Some friends you are!
Come! Come and take a look.
Hurry up!
Look.
That's him.
