Mengteli boys are ready to start their ninth adventure.
- Let's stop playing. - What's there to fear?
- Let's go. - Let's not.
Let's go.
A-Chai, did you know?
Last summer, there was a couple
that couldn't pay their mortgage they ended up committing suicide.
Later, the construction workers here
some died of illnesses
others died in car accidents.
They had to stop building.
Since then, only ghosts live here.
- Annoying. - Don't be afraid.
Come.
Didn't you agree to seek ghosts with me?
Come, quick.
There's nothing to fear.
It's so creepy here.
Let's stop playing. What happened to your face?
Fuck, there's blood.
Go, quick.
♪ There's only me in her heart, and not him ♪
You look terribly irritating today.
Can you not be like this?
Why are you so?
Let me tell you, I have succeeded in life.
You're just jealous that I found true love.
Right?
What's on your hand? Let me see.
Don't tarnish my sacred bracelet
with the hand you used to eat pig-blood cake.
I'm giving it to my babe tonight.
Tarnish? I'm just giving my blessing.
Stop it, you all.
The peanut powder is falling off on me.
Come, one for each of you.
Could this be the legendary pig-blood cake?
The delicious pig-blood cake?
Exactly!
If you are not lucky enough
you can't buy it.
Someone doesn't dare to eat it.
It's really creepy here.
Let's stop playing.
What happened to your face?
Fuck, there's blood.
Go, quick.
All right... if I find a girlfriend I'll bring her back to you.
Okay mom, I need to work now.
I love you, bye-bye.
I heard that you got stood up last night.
Don't cry. Be careful not to contaminate the scene.
Cry?
Tears are component of the blood, okay?
Real men don't cry. Haven't your heard before?
There's plenty of fish out there. Why bother on having just one?
It's impossible for a normal person to take it so lightly.
Fine, I'm an alien then.
Those two junior high students
have discovered the blood here on the midnight of March 3rd.
But they didn't call the police and flaunted the video online instead.
No idea what the kids are thinking nowadays.
I think.
You think so as well, right?
I think you saying these means you are old.
You...
Positive reaction, probably blood.
I've searched nearby. Didn't find any dead bodies.
Damn, such a large pool of blood.
Is this the primary crime scene?
Doesn't seem like it.
Because there isn't any drag pattern or any drip trail bloodstain pattern.
It shouldn't be the primary crime scene.
This is a bounce-type bloodstain. It should have fell from a height.
That's true.
But it has been almost a day. Why hasn't the blood dried?
Perhaps due to the ground being damper with all this rain
causing the blood to dry slower.
Let's go have a look upstairs.
Looks like it's the primary crime scene.
Drag pattern.
Also drip trail bloodstain pattern.
This should be the primary crime scene.
Most of the blood spots posses a radius of one to four millimeters.
Which indicates that blood
is spattered at a velocity of 5 to 25 feet per second
forming this type of medium-velocity blood spatter.
The moment blood hit the wall there aren't any obstacles in between.
Somebody grabbed the victim from behind
and inflicted wound on his or her chest or neck with an instrument.
This pattern is most likely
caused by severed arteries.
If all this blood belongs to the same person
even without a corpse it is almost confirmed that...
There is no more chance.
This bloodstain looks very different.
It looks like...
Something touched the blood and formed a transfer-type blood pattern.
It's somewhat...
should be a decoration.
It looks somewhat like...
a butterfly.
The cards we exchanged before you still keep them, right?
You didn't secretly open them?
Sure not, we've promised each other in senior high school...
once we turn 30 we'll get together, open them,
and see what we've written for each other.
Umin, let me ask you.
Go ahead.
From your place to mine,
how many steps are there?
10,395 steps.
Then I'll ask again.
From where you are to where I am
how many steps would it take?
I'll give you time to think of an answer I'm going home now.
♪ Brother Shuang's getting married... ♪
Hey, what's the matter?
No... nothing, I'm fine.
Don't think of girls while you're working.
Let's first perform species identification.
We can only proceed after confirming that it's human blood.
That's right... Who says it's human blood?
Without a hundred percent certainty,
nothing is absolutely sure. Right?
I've told you many times, yet you didn't seem to understand.
Are you okay?
You're acting strange.
I'm very fine.
Thunder Lei said that a person's blood comprises 8 percent of his body weight.
Then...
Assuming that this person is 50 kilograms
the total amount of blood will be...
Four liters, hence...
the ratio of blood loss is...
is...
the ratio of blood loss.
The amount of blood collected in the crime scene is around 3 liters.
That means this person
has lost 0.75
or three quarters of their blood.
So what we are looking for...
is a corpse.
According to DNA typing result
the blood in the scene belonged to the same person.
So far we haven't found another person's DNA.
Residual epithelial cells found in the blood
were columnar and ciliated.
This indicates that blood might have
flowed out from the nose or respiratory tract.
So the victim was...
Faster, why are you so slow?
Found.
Damn.
It can't be...
Didn't you say last time
that you met a girl that looks like Hatsune Miku?
When will you introduce her to me?
Girl...
At this moment you're still talking about girls?
My best friend lost so much blood. She might even be dead.
And we haven't found her yet. And you're still talking about girls?
Are you even human?
What are you doing?
Calm down, what's with you?
You said the blood in the scene was your friend's?
I should have gone out and find her when Yi-Han stood me up that day.
Even when I call her now, I still can't reach her.
Not answering calls doesn't mean that she's in trouble.
That transfer-type blood pattern,
didn't you say... it looked like a butterfly?
Yi-Han's hairpin looks precisely like that.
And her blood is also AB-type.
On the afternoon of March 3rd when she texted me
she was near that construction site.
It must be her.
You should calm down...
Don't think too much for now.
The things you've mentioned weren't direct evidences.
Without a hundred percent certainty,
you couldn't conclude that she's the victim.
Right...
Nothing is absolutely sure...
Let me ask you what should we do to prove
that the blood in the scene wasn't your friend's?
DNA.
That's right, DNA.
On the seal flap is Yi-Han's saliva.
DNA...
is inside.
I love red spider lily.
Its red color seems so full of life.
Does it really exist?
It does. It depends on the seasons.
When there are leaves, there will be no flowers, and vice versa.
Flowers and leaves...
never meet one another.
Don't you think
this sounds like...
a pair of lovers in love
but their lives will never cross paths?
If the flowers and leaves could grow alongside each other
how would things be?
I do think that...
love that doesn't come into fruition
is the most beautiful kind of love.
Do you know?
Actually I've liked her for a very long time.
At first I planned...
to confess my feelings to her the next evening.
But one day of difference.
And it's already too late.
That day after seeing the art exhibition,
I should've sent her home.
How could I let her went home alone?
How could I be so unaware?
Do I even deserve to be a forensic scientist?
Let me know when you want to see an exhibition next time.
All right.
But if you stand me up again,
I'll know that you've got back with that jerk again.
I won't stand you up anymore.
Because he got married 2 months ago.
Master Chi-Fan Pong.
- Hey! - Hello.
- Will you sign this for me? - No problem...
This book is for my friend.
Her name is Yi-Han Huang.
I think you know very well how to write her name.
If you aren't my fans, I'm sorry, I'm very busy.
I'm not your fan.
But I am the police.
Can I have a few minutes?
You've got the wrong person. I don't know Yi-Han Huang.
Why did you follow her if you don't know her?
You've been following her
since March 3rd, 3:27 p.m.
until the embankment, where she went missing.
We suspect that you have something to do with this.
The long axis of bloodstain A is...
four millimeters.
The short axis is two millimeters.
Thirty degrees.
Not bad at all.
So 1,278 times...
0.952 equals to
1,216.656.
My mom calls me the human computer.
Although blood source reconstruction took a lot of effort...
In situations without
or suspects
on-site bloodstains could tell us a lot.
For instance the position and location
of the victim when she was injured.
Also, the incident that occurred to her at the time.
Most importantly it cannot lie.
You two.
- Sorry, both of you. - What's up?
This place is under police investigation, please leave.
What's so great about police?
I am not great. You are greater.
- Please leave. - We came here first.
That's enough.
If you continue being violent, I'll bring you back to the station.
That's enough, let's go.
You better be careful.
What's wrong with you?
What are you going to do?
Thanks for the hard work.
Hey, hey, hey.
Aren't you very tough?
Very competent?
You kids.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Assaulting a police officer is a serious offence.
We're so afraid, we should go home.
You think I'm a fool? Don't run.
Why are we running? We are the police.
Where are you hiding?
I'm a police officer, why am I hiding?
It's so shameful of me.
Do you have a gun?
No, I don't. So what? I'm not scared.
Why are you so scared of everything?
I'm scared?
I went out to save you, and you say I'm scared?
Don't think that you're invincible just because you know some tricks.
So what if you're a police officer?
You're a girl. You should think of protecting yourself first.
If something happened to you, I...
If something happened to me you'll be the first one to laugh, right?
Are you that mad?
Can it be that you like me?
All material evidences considered
led us to believe that the victim was in this position on the 2nd floor
when the murderer used a sharp object to severe her carotid artery from the back
and sprayed the blood on the walls.
What about the knife we found? Have you found out what it is?
I've searched our database but there isn't anything that matched.
I'll look for it on the market in these few days.
Maybe there'll be other leads.
Chief.
These bloodstains appeared next to
the pool of blood where Yi-Han collapsed.
I found them strange.
Since she'd lost so much blood
she shouldn't be able to pull herself up.
But why...
Why are there V-shaped bloodstains that fell off from a height?
So I suspect...
that this blood...
belongs to the murderer.
DNA test has proved that Chief's suspicion is correct.
Among the blood samples we've collected we found an unidentified blood sample.
Although being minimum in amount,
was enough to prove that it belongs to a man.
Also, judging from the cell residues found, it seems likely
that this unidentified sample might come from the nose.
Nasal blood.
Injured nose?
But that day Chi-Fan Pong's nose looked fine.
March 3rd is holiday. He said he's in the office.
That's clearly a lie.
He already has a girlfriend. And he still chased after Yi-Han.
Yi-Han decided to break up with him some time ago
because he's getting married. And now he was stalking her.
What does he want?
I think, not only...
that this jerk lied.
He's very likely the murderer.
Isn't this obvious enough?
You went wherever Yi-Han Huang went and stopped whenever she stopped.
What was that if it's not stalking? You told me you don't know her.
Fine, I know her.
But I've only accepted her interview once.
And she kept on pestering me afterwards.
She pestered you.
You stalked her.
Seems like your logic isn't that great.
I wanted to ask her to stop pestering me.
I'm a marriage counseling expert.
- I wouldn't mess about with other women. - He's lying.
He was nodding so fiercely just now thus revealing the truth.
Non-synchronized verbal and physical expressions.
A classic example of duplicity.
You really think we police never do any work?
Before you got married you've obviously had an affair
with Yi-Han Huang behind your then girlfriend's back,
otherwise known as your current wife's back.
Who would dare to touch her? If I'm still single,
I'll never touch such a slut.
Can't you be more respectful?
She's passed away.
He's smearing her to untangle himself from their relationship.
He's afraid when the gossip comes out it'll ruin his marriage expert image.
The bastard's talking nonsense. I'm gonna punch his mouth.
Calm down. As a forensic scientist
you're not supposed to solve problems with your fists.
That woman's really shameless. I've rejected her hundreds of times.
And she still told people that we're together.
What's the matter?
You can leave now.
The murderer's nasal blood cells DNA doesn't match your saliva DNA.
You weren't there.
Inspector Yang...
If you happen to encounter problems in your marriage,
you're welcome to seek my counsel any time.
Impossible. I won't marry.
Who's bad-breathed? You're the one bad-breathed.
You even said that she's bad-breathed.
Stay calm.
Hitting him will only dirty your hands.
What the heck? Oh please.
You police think that it's fine to hit someone under broad daylight?
Careful I'm gonna sue you. Don't think it's okay to hit someone.
Let me tell you, I'm now
teaching you a lesson as Umin Dadau's buddy.
That's too much.
Careful I'll sue you all to death.
Hi.
Hello, is Master Hsia there?
Hello, I'm from the CID.
I've a few questions in need of your advice.
Are you available?
I'm sorry...
but I'm now preparing for my next exhibition.
I'm creating the second red lily spider.
So when is good for me to visit?
What about visiting you in your studio?
My studio's location is very remote.
You need to drive at least one hour out of town.
The thing is, there are two women,
one called Tsai-Wei Fong and the other Yi-Han Huang.
Both were your fans.
They both went missing after seeing your exhibition.
Did you see any suspicious individuals in your exhibition?
We suspect that somebody's jealous of you and set upon your fans.
Not sure if you've had any unpleasant experience with anyone?
Too many people are jealous of me.
But...
if necessary...
I could ask my assistant to create a name list for you.
Delicious pig-blood cake's here again.
Okay, please fax it to me then.
Thanks.
Delicious pig-blood cake's here again.
Pig-blood cake...
Hi.
The second red lily spider's just appeared.
And you've come to see it.
I've promised my friend that I'd come to see it.
So where's your friend?
She...
She's gone to a faraway place.
And asked me to come instead.
Too bad she couldn't see it.
Mr. Hsia.
I'd like to buy this painting.
I think this red lily spider
bloomed especially for you.
It belongs to you.
Mr. Hsia.
Why does the color of
your first red lily spider seem to darken?
I remember it wasn't like this last time.
Because my paintings...
have lives of their own.
- Chief, this is for you - Turn off the lights.
What's up?
Look at this.
It's possible for paint pigments to fluoresce.
But it might also be human blood.
The last time I went to the exhibition...
The first red lily spider was dark red in color.
Two weeks later, the color
has become reddish brown.
This kind of color change is identical to the characteristic of blood.
Positive reaction. It might be blood.
Thunder Lei?
I've compared plenty of cutting tools,
and realized that the sheet of steel matched with that of a palette knife.
I believe the murder weapon to be palette knife.
The murderer used palette knife to kill.
Chieh Hsia used human blood to paint.
Furthermore, Tsai-Wei Fong and...
and Yi-Han Huang
both went missing after seeing the exhibition.
- Where's Chieh Hsia? - What's the matter?
- Where's he? - Master Hsia left half an hour ago.
Senior, there's nothing.
He left half an hour ago, not sure where to.
Chieh Hsia announced that there'll be three paintings of the red lily spider.
Blood painting being his exclusive marking to this point, two are exhibited.
There's one more painting left, this means...
there's still another victim.
All the victims are his fans.
Hsiang, the fans' address book, quick.
I'll go now.
Senior, these all are.
There are hundreds of people.
There are too many people, I don't know how to look.
Chieh Hsia once said the three red lily spiders represent
the beauty of women of three different age groups.
The first one, age 19
The second one, age 29.
The third one… should target woman aged 39.
Senior, I found it. Yi-Ting Ma.
We found a Yi-Ting Ma, born 1974.
348438.
Senior, I couldn't get through.
When I call him the other day
I realized...
You need to drive at least one hour out of town.
I realized...
his studio must be by the sea. Because I heard the sound of the waves.
Delicious pig-blood cake's here again.
Pig's blood man. I heard the pig's blood man.
Three in the afternoon.
The pig's blood man always travels the same route.
So if we found the pig's blood man, we'll know where Chieh Hsia's studio is.
You're the one.
Senior. The one in front, that road.
Yi-Han must've hoped that no one else be sacrificed.
Kao
it's all in your hands.
1:37 p.m.
somebody checked in at Wei-Tan street.
Said he found the pig's blood man.
The pig's blood man last appeared in Wei-Tan street.
Go after him, quick.
Where's he?
He's there, senior.
Senior.
Talk properly, what's ah-ah.
He's there...
Sir.
Senior, what's wrong?
Chieh Hsia's studio located...
Police, don't move.
Put down the things in your hands.
Go away.
Why do you want to stop me from creating the third red lily spider?
Put down the things in your hand.
Or I'll shoot your hands and you'll be unable to draw anything.
Cuff him up.
Don't move.
Get up.
Go.
We have enough evidence to prove
that you used Tsai-Wei Fong's
and Yi-Han Huang's blood to paint.
Where are the corpses?
Give me my Yi-Han back.
Where've you hid her?
Where on earth have you hid her? Where?
I've given her back to you.
She'd become the most beautiful red lily spider.
Accompanying you every day.
You should thank me.
You killed her. You even sold me her blood painting.
Calm down.
Even if you punched him, you won't find Yi-Han Huang.
She lives in the painting. You live in the reality.
Both of you still don't cross paths.
Destined to miss each other forever.
You're not human.
You're the devil.
You okay?
I just want to find Yi-Han as soon as possible.
Why do you paint with human blood? Don't you think that it's horrifying?
Don't you feel guilty?
They admire my paintings so much,
I let them live in my paintings forever.
What's wrong with that?
He displays sociopathic tendencies.
Extreme egocentrism. With no compassion whatsoever.
Even if he killed someone, he wouldn't feel guilty let alone regret.
But he really knows how to talk.
He has a certain charisma.
That's why his fans got fooled by him.
I couldn't find the bodies anywhere.
Could it be that the bodies are hidden outside?
Maybe, we should look outside.
Where are the bodies?
Thrown into the ocean, the river?
Buried in the mountains?
Hidden in the studio?
Hello Genie, what's up?
Cian Yang was conducting Guilty Knowledge Tests on him.
He smiled all along.
Until Cian Yang asked him if the bodies are hidden in the studio.
His smile froze for half a second.
So you are saying that the bodies might be hidden in the studio,
right?
Why must you find those bodies?
They are all my Muses.
Especially Yi-Han Huang.
She brought my painting
to its pinnacle.
- You alone? - Master Hsia.
You come to see my works often.
I admire you very much.
I feel that you're very spiritual.
I don't know if you're willing to be the model of my next work.
I'll be so embarrassed.
You'll be just fine, get in the car.
Really?
There are some concrete scraps here.
Move these plaster models away.
- Why? - Something's off with this wall.
Look at the cement on this wall.
There's a difference in color.
It means... that it's been newly walled up.
I beg you...
Help me, I beg you.
Help me get her out.
I've created a new piece of art.
The whole world will be crazy about me.
I'll be remembered in the world's history of painting.
Right...
Remembered as a notorious murderer.
You've taken away the lives of two young women.
You will pay the price.
Art?
You don't deserve art.
The cards we exchanged before you still keep them, right?
You didn't secretly open them?
Surely not.
We've promised each other in senior high school.
Once we turn 30 we'll get together,
open them, and see what we've written for each other.
- Good. - Yeah.
You'll forever be 29.
So don't blame me for breaching the rule,
and open the card first.
I'm not mad at all
that you stole food from my lunch box.
Because I like you.
I hope after we're 30,
I can make you lunch boxes every day.
Mom...
She has...
She has already found happiness, Mom.
