Slow down, Cian!
UNCONTROLLABLE DETECTIVE CIAN YANG
IRON THUNDER LEI Yi-Ming LEI
You've been terminated.
You too.
Here's a sticker for you. Where would you like it?
Watch out!
- All right. - Despicable!
Who would use explosives for a survival game?
My grandpa and I used to go wild boar hunting in the mountains
- We used this method. - But we aren't catching...
Happy now? You got yourself a wild boar here.
Have you been terminated, Mr. Boar?
You never follow the plan.
You completely disregard your teammates' safety.
It's more important to me to win the game.
I don't want to be on the same team again.
- You only put your team in danger. - Take it easy, guys.
A-Hai isn't back yet.
I'll go find him.
A-Hai
Excuse me, Miss.
Could you step outside of the restricted area?
Please leave your contact number. We might need your help on investigation.
Please show me either your... national ID or driver's license.
Pardon me, senior colleague.
Didn't you say you wanted to interview me for your report?
That won't be necessary.
How come?
You should be asking me where the body is.
Yes, certainly. Where is the body?
Over there.
Yes, over there.
What are you waiting for?
Yes, right away.
- No, over this way. - Yes, over this way.
You are so damn gullible. This way.
Get away, get away. Don't get too close. Don't destroy the crime scene.
Where did that rookie come from?
Our department’s newbie.
He dared to ask me for my number.
Really? That's a first.
New guy, come assist us when you're done vomiting.
First time?
He has been dead for over 7 days.
You see the maggots have fully grown.
The climate here is humid.
Maggots grow in no time. Probably takes 4 days to grow.
How likely is this a homicide?
There are no visible disturbances. The deceased's skin is dehydrated.
His nostrils are clogged with vomit. He was drowned in his own vomit.
Likely a case of acute alcohol poisoning. The odds of him being murdered is 20%.
This guy simply drank himself to death.
Well then, I have no business hanging around here.
If you'll excuse me, I'm leaving.
I'll come by this afternoon for the report.
Come on. Let's go.
Why aren't you eating?
There's a reason why I treat you to this meal.
Our department has a custom.
After one has experienced the crime scene for the first time,
one should indulge in barbecue dishes.
These intestines are freaking delicious.
Haven't you had field practices?
Well, yes, but.. I think you guys are unbelievable.
Especially those two investigators.
The corpse was in close proximity.
They were having a good ol' time investigating the body away.
As if they had no sense of smell. You too. You are just as impressive.
Finish up your meal.
Go pick up the report from them.
Where are you going?
I'm heading home, and it's none of your business.
There's tons of leftovers.
You're dead meat if you don't eat up!
CSIC Headquarters
CLUE
Excuse me...
Chief is in the lab. 2nd room on your left.
Thanks.
How do you know I'm here to see... Chief?
You just had some hot chocolate.
On your right hand, there's traces of hot chocolate.
Which shows you wiped it with your right hand.
The reason you wiped it off is because the hot chocolate didn't come with a straw.
Closest hot chocolate and coffee vendors
who don't provide straws is located next to the Criminal Bureau
named Superman Cafe who hates plastics.
You came by moped. The helmet buckle imprint on your cheek proves that.
Also, you smell of potent aromatics
which means you've been to the crime scene this morning.
You're not used to the odor of decaying flesh.
Thus, you're a newbie.
Chief mentioned a newbie assisted at the scene this morning
who will come pick up the alcohol poisoning report.
Am I right? 42nd Police Academy graduate
junior alumnus.
How did you know?
I am investigator Jenny Wang. You may call me Genie.
MIND READER GENIE JENNY WANG
I specialize in behavioral science analysis.
Don't judge me because of my young age.
Although I'm young, I skipped grades as a gifted student.
I'm your senior alumna.
- Pleased to meet you. - Good.
They've always sent rookies to pick reports.
It was recently A-Chuan. Now you. Which means they've restaffed.
Beginning my 37th term to your 42nd term.

Where did you get my birth place and name?
From online.
OK, since you'll come on a regular basis,
I'll give you a tour of the center.
Thanks.
Hey, Chief.
There you are.
You met Chief this morning.
He's an expert trace evidence analyst. He can figure out the murder weapons used
based on various trace evidence at the crime scene.
TRACE EVIDENCE HUNTER CHIEF
Stay away from me.
What's that pungent smell?
Sorry.
Kao, who doesn't like to talk much.
Don't bother him unless you have to. He'll hand you the report on his own term.
He's in charge of anything IT related.
GHOST HACKER TIAN-RUI KAO
What is he writing?
He's saying hi to you.
Hi.

So be forewarned.
FORENSIC PATHOLOGY EXPERT DONG-SHUN YANG
Mr. Lin is our best prosecutor.
You'll see him whenever there's a major case.
He's our crime solving God.
CSIC DETECTIVE SHI-YAO LIN
I present to you
our CSIC.
Another drunk driving case occurred in the southern region.
Collision between a moped and a car led to 2 deaths and 1 severely injured.
BAC (Blood alcohol content) was high at 2.2.
A mother
worked hard to raise and support her son to attend graduate school
But he ended up being killed by a drunk driver.
Up until now,
the court still insists that both parties are at fault.
The ruling was unjust.
He didn't drink alcohol.
My son was wronged by the ruling.
The ruling was unjust.
A car accident from 6 months ago
A moped and a sport's car collided.
Sport's car driver fled and crashed into a traffic divider.
One passenger dead and one severely injured.
Both were tested to have alcohol in their blood stream.
This is a no brainer.
Drunk driving is like having a murderer on the road.
Congressman just called.
He said we need to reopen mama Chen's case.
It's major news. The media is discussing it.
Mama Chen stands by her belief that her son
did not drink and drive and did not cause the accident.
You should know what to do, right?
My colleagues
They report whatever the evidence tells them.
You have 24 hours to hand in the report.
The congressman has gotten Deputy Chief involved.
Essentially, a verdict was given without a report from us is suspicious.
So, this case
is being returned to us for re-investigation.
Besides, her son's body is already cremated.
Cremated...
Then what is there to gain by re-investigating?
Reputation.
Where are you going?
That's the forensic pathology room.
Tons of corpses, wanna see?
- No, not today. - I thought you wanted to see.
Hi, Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin, often stops by the center.
You'll see him when there's a case under investigation.
Once he was shot in an accident related to a case.
The bullet is still stuck in his body.
What kind of an accident?
Oh, that's why he walks funny.
Don't talk about things which you don't fully know.
Genie, come with me.
Yes.
Why are the skid marks broken up?
According to the driver's statement, he was driving straight ahead.
But the moped rider was drunk and drove into his lane.
He couldn't get away in time. His car and the moped collided,
which caused the moped rider to slide along the road, becoming severely injured.
CRASH ON THE GROUND
Judging from the point of impact,
do these skid marks make sense?
What was the weather like on that day?
The record indicates
it rained the day after the incident.
The road surface was wet. Most of the tires marks were destroyed.
Skid marks that have been rained on
are difficult to discern to begin with.
It is fair to say that the evidence is all gone.
Look over there.
This road has been paved over.
This is quite normal.
Roads are paved over several times a year.
That should not interfere with our investigation.
Genie, are you ok?
No problem.
That "strawberry" mark is still there?
Yeah, it hurts so much. It's all your fault.
Not my fault. It was Chief's doing.
It wasn't intentional.
My mouth is not that big.
What about I give you one now?
No.
Hey, pretty lady.
You guys are disgusting.
- Such a complicated relationship. - Not us, it's them.
Stop fooling around. Time for the meeting.
Thank you.
Everyone.
Re-investigating an old case requires caution.
You all saw the report.
The result of our investigation
may affect many people's careers.
Of course, it may affect the deceased's reputation.
Nonetheless,
we report the truth according to the evidence found.
Judging from these photos, the crime scene looks quite chaotic, Mr. Lin.
And these skid marks
don't look like the ones resulting from ABS braking system.
Unless there was something wrong with the car.
And the position between
these skid marks and the impact point is rather strange.
It doesn't make sense.
CRASH ON THE GROUND
Don't forget,
it rained after the day of the incident.
The police at the scene also mentioned
that it was challenging to discern the scene due to the rain.
But the most unfortunate thing was that after the car driver fled the scene
they crashed into a traffic divider.
The marks left on the car were a challenge to discern.
It was thus difficult to find any evidence.
A year has passed.
The road has been freshly paved.
Even if there was evidence, it is long gone.
Evidence is gone. The crime scene no longer exists.
Can this case be re-investigated?
Bite your tongue, rookie.
They're good at deriving evidence out of a non-existing crime scene.
Why don't we reconstruct the crime scene?
My son was innocent.
He absolutely did not drink and drive.
Mama Chen,
I understand what you're going through.
To help us get to the truth,
please describe again what had happened that day.
That day,
after he finished his day job,
he was getting ready to go to his night job at the convenience store.
He did not want to be late for his job at the convenience store.
So, he left early at 11:00 p.m.
Who would've thought after 30 minutes...
How long does it take to go from your house to his place of work?
Usually takes about 20 minutes.
He normally left for work 10 minutes early.
Are you certain he didn't have a drink at dinner?
I'm absolutely certain.
My husband would beat me up when he's drunk.
I'm frightened whenever I hear the word "alcohol".
So, my son would never touch alcohol.
How long does it take to go from your house to his place of work?
Usually takes about 20 minutes.
Hello?
Hello? Hsiang, do me a favor.
Go to mama Chen's house. Take the moped.
Does your cell have GPS installed?
Record it. I want every possible routes.
GPS coordinates and the time it takes to get there.
OK, no problem.
So, what do you think?
She was telling the truth.
Her whole body was facing you.
She showed no sign of flinching.
I do wonder
where her son's positive alcohol test came from.
He could've had a few drinks before he returned home for dinner.
Not likely.
Her husband is an alcoholic. She despises alcohol.
So she would have smelled it
from a mile away. Even if it's only a tiny bit.
Is that so?
Can't you smell it?
Sure, I can smell it.
I'm not making this up.
Cars are like people.
You are what you drive.
The owner of this car must've been very lazy.
Did you know the blue whale's heart is as big as this car?
Moron. I was talking about cars.
You replied with the story of blue whale's heart.
Idiot.
OK, I won't talk about whales.
Did you know one cannot reach and lick his elbows?
Why would I want to lick my elbows for?
How is that possible that I can't lick my elbows?
Come on. Hurry up.
OK.
It's very heavy. Why am I the one that's pushing it?
They are here.
Go!
My son is well-behaved.
He's had bad influences.
You're drunk, aren't you?
What are you insinuating?
Everything you say from now on will be used as evidence,
including your attitude.
You are trying to scare me.
This case has long been concluded.
Which law are you basing on to intimidate me?
Should we get our lawyer?
What can that idiot do for me?
He's only interested in ripping you off.
But...
Shut your mouth. The cops wouldn't dare to mess with me.
We're not messing with you.
We're asking you to assist in our investigation.
Please describe what had happened that day.
How many times do I have to tell the same story?
That idiot hit me.
Wasn't he under the influence?
I'm not asking you whether he was under the influence.
I'm asking you to describe the situation on that day.
Besides, your BAC Level was as high as 0.95.
You were pretty wasted too.
You're a repeat drunk driving offender!
So what?
Paying a fine is no big deal.
I see the police force needed the money.
Mom, the cops need some cash.
How much do you need?
What you just said can be considered as bribing a police officer.
Our conversation is being audio-recorded and filmed.
I thought you understood the law.
You should be well aware of the consequences.
To not make things worse, please describe what happened that day.
It was my friend's birthday that day. We were celebrating his birthday.
That idiot ran into my car. How many times do I have to tell it?
Are you sure? You were drunk.
So what I was drunk?
It doesn't matter how drunk I am
I am fine as long as I hold on to the steering wheel.
It wasn't your car. It belonged to your friend.
Why were you the one driving it?
Your highness,
haven't you been saying that I was drunk?
Well, I don't remember.
His toes weren't facing you. His entire body was facing the door.
Highly likely he wasn't telling the truth.
I can see it for myself.
Just look at him.
A classic alcoholic.
He must do this often. Get wasted and cause trouble.
A non-drinker's BAC should be at 0.
When alcohol goes into the body,
it reaches the blood stream within minutes.
When breath alcohol test shows BAC exceeding 0.25 mg per liter,
one's motor skills become impaired so do one's driving skills.
If one continues to binge drink at this BAC level,
alcohol poisoning would occur.
Symptoms such as cerebellar ataxia, confusion, incoherence
heart rate acceleration normally occur.
The heart is now working overtime cardiac arrhythmias could occur
which could lead to coma and even death.
Great.
But I don't understand a word you just said.
No worries. I get it.
What did you find out?
The chemical substance detected on the baseball bat is
Polymethylmethacrylate.
What the heck is that?
Acrylic.
Why didn't you just say acrylic?
Acrylic light transmission is 92%.
Most cars and motorcycles use this material for tail lights.
Which means there's over 1 million cars we need to look over.
Look at these micrographs.
The material of both fragments, don't they look the same?
They do look the same... and?
This baseball bat, used as an assault weapon,
was stuck underneath the passenger seat.
Quite probable that it was originally placed in the back.
Due to impact of the collision, it went under the passenger seat.
That's why we missed it.
It's common to find locks and sticks in any car.
I've got tons of those my car!
According to Locard's principle, contact between two surfaces
always result in fragmentary materials.
Debris of a moped tail light found on a baseball bat
is quite unusual.
- Isn't it? - Regarding this...
Mr. Li said he had no contact with the moped rider
and left the scene right after the incident.
- This new evidence proves that he lied. - Exactly!
There's also scratches on there.
What?
According to the record of the accident,
the moped's right side
shows scratches resulting from friction with the road surface.
This tells us that moped's tail lights should not have been broken.
Unless they were broken by some other medium.
Like what?
- Hitting it with something? - Bingo!
Hold on.
Hello?
OK.
Thunder Lei and Genie are ready.
Not your lucky day.
I let you win.
May God bless you.
Are you all right?
- Are you all right? - You OK?
Are you alive?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
How did it turn out?
Quite similar to the photos taken from the scene.
The sliding distance is similar too.
But cannot say for sure.
This evidence is enough for us to prove that Mr. Li lied.
Yes.
That's it. Bingo. The truth has come out.
We cannot take investigation results for granted.
We cannot be 100% sure. We cannot say the truth has come to light.
Give Kao all the information, data, and speculations
so he can perform a computer simulation for comparison.
Yes, certainly.
This was our simulation from yesterday.
Hsin swung the bat at the moped's tail lights.
The distance between the car and moped is similar.
It's obvious there's a bit of a distance between this mark here and impact point
about 8 meters apart.
So, both vehicles didn't collide with one another.
This all sounds about right.
Also... Yesterday while chasing after Thunder Lei, all the while
I couldn't help but to hit the brakes several times.
That should explain why
there are irregular skid marks at the scene.
CRASH ON THE GROUND
That's because car driver intimidated the moped rider by chasing after him.
Hence, the irregular skid marks.
- Exactly. - That's highly likely.
Hsiang, have you completed my request?
I gave the information to Chief.
What?
- Chief, where is it? - I didn't get it.
- I lied! It's right there. - Stop kidding around!
Wait, rewind.
Stop for a sec.
Do you recall where Mr. Li said he and his friend were?
Where were you before the accident?
A-Plus night club.
Ladies there are sexy as hell.
Night club.
Right there.
Are you looking for trouble?
What the heck do you want?
We don't want anything from you.
It's just that I looked up your night club's customer record.
Your establishment used to sell alcohol to underage girls.
My colleague and I thought we would stop by the club daily.
I wouldn't mind your lack of cooperation.
However, tomorrow, the day after,
three days from now...
I'll come by to visit you with my entourage.
See?
Not worth it.
Just tell us what you saw.
All right.
Dude sucks anyway. I don't see why I should cover for him.
He was drunk as a skunk that night.
He came with his sidekick.
He left with a bottle of liquor.
Be careful.
Get out of the way!
Just as he walked out of the front door,
he saw a moped,
and ran towards it.
That's him. That's him.
Let's finish him.
How could you have let a drunk drive away in a car?
There's nothing I could do.
He's our regular customer.
He's caused us tons of inconvenience.
He often gets into fights with other customers when he's drunk.
What right do you have to complain about him?
You letting him drive under the influence
is the equivalence of enabling a killer to kill on the road.
OK, that's enough.
There's a crime called indifference in our society.
Are you aware of it?
Do you actually believe you're not responsible for
letting him drive while intoxicated?
Stop it!
The victim was attacked.
And the attacker was in the car.
It was Li who killed him.
Take a look at this.
This is the victim's tail light.
This is the photo we took after hitting and breaking the tail light.
We used this bat to simulate...
These two bats have similar dents.
There's also fragmentary material on there.
The moped was hit in the front, so the scratches
should show only at the front and the side.
The tail light should not have been affected.
SHATTERED TAIL LIGHT SCRATCHED SIDE
Even with this new evidence,
we can only prove that it was involuntary manslaughter.
But there's something else that needs to be clarified
that is whether the victim was under the influence.
Mama Chen is adamant about her son not being intoxicated.
That would decide the verdict.
Alcohol...
Unless...
Unless we could further prove the victim had good mental and physical health,
and thus was not a drinker.
He's been cemented. What's left to test?
Chief!
About the recent alcohol poisoning case,
you haven't given me the health check results.
Could you give me the five categories of body fluids
and the vitreous humor...
Never mind. I'll come by again in the afternoon.
Even if you come tomorrow, the day after, or several days after,
even your next lifetime... You'll be just as dumb.
Let me ask you...
How long has the guy been dead?
Over a week.
A person who's been dead for over a week
cannot possibly still produce vitreous humor.
All the vital organs have stopped working.
Get yourself together, dumbass.
Vitreous humor.
You're a genius!
What?
Vitreous humor!
Exactly!
Genius!
What's going on?
Vitreous humor...
Typically, when severely injured from a car accident,
if the person dies, there's a protocol to take samples.
The first thing is to collect blood
as well as vitreous humor.
In my years of experience,
vitreous humor is not necessarily collected in every case.
The victim's mother was adamant about her son not being intoxicated.
So the prosecutor ordered vitreous humor sampling.
Why wasn't the sample taken then?
People are negligent by nature.
If the BAC appears to be pretty high, other sampling procedures
are typically skipped.
One thing about this case,
there's an open wound on the victim's body
So, if the blood was tested positive for alcohol,
the alcohol could have been introduced during revival, not because of drinking.
Would this work?
Sure it would work.
Formation of vitreous humor requires blood circulating in the eyeball.
When the heart stops, production of the vitreous stops.
Without the blood circulating, alcohol would not have been able to
reach the eyeballs.
How would you test it?
Headspace GC analysis.
Thunder Lei!
Tested negative for alcohol.
We should have done this test in the beginning
we would not have wasted so much time.
Great. Now this proves he was not intoxicated.
How could this case have been closed?
After talking to the night club manager,
Mr. Li indeed
often engages in violent activities while intoxicated.
Mr. Li assaulted a car insurance salesman.
It's you again.
Are you sober?
It's not illegal to drink alcohol.
I wasn't the driver.
Assault and battery while intoxicated is a criminal offense.
I don't remember a thing.
Not a problem.
I'll pay the required fine.
Your friend in the car...
Don't you think you have caused his death?
Him again.
It's because of him, I have to deal with the insurance guy's crap.
- Stop all the nonsense! - Who the hell do you think you are?
That guy is sick!
The passenger's death was not due to the car crash.
The cause of death is a acute alcohol poisoning.
There's food remnants in the deceased's windpipe.
He vomited, but the windpipe was not clogged.
Thus, he didn't die from asphyxia.
The cause of death was suggested to be respiratory failure
as a result of acute alcohol poisoning.
You see, we were spot on.
Bad guys will not stop until they are caught.
He will be charged for the assault offense.
The baseball bat found in the car was identified as
the weapon used to hit the moped.
Your intentional intimidation led to this accident, am I right?
It's none of my business!
I wasn't the one who's wielding the bat.
Just admit it.
You caused the deaths of two men.
We have all the evidence to prove it.
You just need to admit to your crime.
You will feel better about yourself.
Lessening remorseful feelings in the future.
Why should I be regretful?
This doesn't make any sense! Why should I be responsible for it?
Stop it.
Take a good look at these two photos!
You should be responsible because you forced him to drink.
That's him.
Let's finish him!
Are you free?
Yes, kill him!
Bro, I'm not feeling well...
I can't...
Mom, get someone to help me out.
- Don't be scared. - Get someone to help me. I am innocent.
My son is innocent.
You are trying to incriminate him. I'll get my lawyer.
Yes, I'm the victim!
Mom, I'm the victim! I'm the victim here!
Enough! Stop it!
You should be responsible for your son's behavior.
- Think about it. - I didn't mean it.
There is no mother in the world who doesn't love her children.
But motherly love...
can lead to tragedies like this.
Is this how a mother loves her child?
What kind of a person makes booby traps for the survival game?
See? You never follow the plan.
Hsiang has been terminated. It's because you didn't watch over him.
Couldn't you see?
He did not follow my route!
Weird thing. Those two don't get along.
But why are they still teammates?
They get along just fine.
I think Thunder Lei quite enjoys being around her.
Are you serious?
How do you know? How can you tell?
If you don't believe me,
just fire a shot, you'll see.
I'm hit!
I'm in front of you. Quickly, move!
Right?
- What's the use of hiding out here? - Forget hiding out!
I'm going to terminate him!
Go to hell!
