Let go of me!
No!
Help!
Chieh Yun.
What did you pick up?
The residents here said that
the hottest days last year, they did smell something.
They thought someone threw animals' dead bodies here.
This skirt was trendy last year.
When the weather is hot,
bodies decompose fast.
It is possible to turn to bones in half a year.
Why cover your face with underpants?
Because he doesn't want you recognized?
Or the person is afraid to look you in the eyes?
It is obvious. That was 100 percent...
99.9% that it was first rape,
then murder to silence her.
It is a possibility.
But it has been a while.
Much evidence's been severely damaged.
So, don't assume.
Otherwise, I can guarantee that you will 99.9% overlook.
Okay, fine.
You say this kind of things so definitely.
Why is there only one earring and one shoe?
This might not be the primary crime scene.
A-Chieh.
What are you doing?
For you.
See who it is.
If you want to forge Hong-Chih Kuo's signature,
you should do better.
This is obviously your writing.
I'm busy studying in the U.S.
No time to watch baseball.
Don't want it? Give it back.
- I want it. - No.
- Yes. - Give back.
My sister's signature...
This girl dressed very young.
How do you know it is a girl?
I...
It is hard to judge by how one dresses.
We generally judge the murder victim's age and gender
by many different aspects.
For instance, when a male passes 30 years old,
his bone will appear as V-shaped here.
A female would be U-shaped.
The murder victim's bone was not completely U-shaped yet.
So, according to my observation,
her age was around 15 to 24.
About human bones,
the inside is called cancellous bone tissue.
Wrapping around the cancellous bone tissue,
it is the compact bone tissue.
It contains less DNA than the cancellous bone tissue
but it has one characteristic similar to aqueous humor.
It maintains one's full DNA inside after one's decease.
They use the same method to obtain DNA from mummies.
As to the height,
I taught you the formula, right?
The length of the murder victim's humerus is 32.7 centimeters.
That times 3.24, then add 63.84.
That is 169.788 centimeters.
Allow a deviation value of 5.02 centimeters.
So, the height of the murder victim should be around 164.768 centimeters.
Close. 165.
Let me.
Is there a way to identify the cause of death?
The murder victim's hyoid bone and neck bone are both broken.
If she was not desperately choked by the neck,
it shouldn't be this way.
MISSING PERSON YI-CHING SU
Do you remember your daughter's outfit when she went missing?
That's fine.
Let me show you something. Maybe it will ring a bell.
Mr. Su.
Please don't be upset.
We still can't confirm that this is your daughter.
Let me arrange a paternity test. Okay?
This is Barr body, also known as the female chromatin.
It's near the nuclear membrane.
The hair obtained from the scene all contains them.
But we can't find any hair besides the murder victim's.
What about the cells under the nails?
It's already...
The body had been exposed to strong sunlight for half a year.
Much biological evidence had been severely decomposed.
Fortunately, from the cells remained under her nails,
we could still extract DNA.
It belongs to a male.
So, that should belong to the murderer.
Very likely.
The victim scratched the murderer while she was fighting back.
It is often seen in rape cases like this.
If it were me,
I would squeeze his nuts.
Also, the DNA-STRs that I analyzed from the bone specimen,
I will ask Kao to file and compare them in the database.
The spots on the murder victim's underpants,
and the DNA under her nails,
have they been compared?
We're still trying.
But it's weird.
I looked everywhere.
But from the murder victim,
I can't find any hair, fingerprint, or semen belonging to others.
This murderer is cunning.
Okay.
Imagine my notebook as the mattress.
This, the murder victim.
Whose reward card is this?
Anyway, this is the carton box.
On June 28th,
the mattress was already here.
On July 9th, the new resident
put this carton box here.
In other words,
Between June 28th and July 9th,
the victim was murdered.
Wait.
The murder victim might not have been killed here.
The murderer might've moved the body,
then covered it with the box.
- Don't sabotage my scene. - Uncle Fan, you made it!
- I'm here. - Took forever.
I'm sorry.
So hungry. Come on.
Okay. Thanks.
Thank you, Uncle Fan.
The spicy flavor, who got it?
- Thanks! - Bye!
Thank you.
Did you forget something for me?
Right. The points.
Where's the reward card?
Bye.
Weird. Where's my reward card?
That's weird.
What's wrong?
The reward card?
My carton box?
Carton box? I just told you.
The body, and the box,
In order to cover it up, the murderer put the box over the body.
Papa Su.
Speaking from my personal experience,
if this girl really is your daughter,
you will rather not see her like this.
My parents died in a car accident.
The funeral makeup artist made them look weird.
I couldn't believe that
those two lying in the casket were my parents.
It really sucks to see someone one last time like this.
Even if I don't go identify her,
what if it is really Ching-Ching?
Welcome.
Wei-Hsiang Chiang, from Criminal Investigation Bureau.
I have some questions.
From June 28th to July 9th,
I've checked all the security cameras around the crime scene.
Someone is very suspicious.
The village chief said that this homeless guy is kind of mental.
He spends a lot of time in an empty house.
That empty house is very close to the crime scene.
More importantly, he has been missing for half a year.
Chief, you go collect evidence from there with officer Yang.
Okay.
I want to go, too.
Genie.
My instinct and experience tells me that
the murder victim escaped from here,
then she was brought to the empty house and killed.
Yes, that's it. One hundred percent.
You two, there's a hat over there.
You're right.
Genie.
See who it is.
If you want to forge Hong-Chih Kuo's signature,
you should do better.
This is obviously your writing.
Take a picture. What are you doing?
Mr. Su,
I compared your DNA to the murder victim's.
These 16 genetic loci prove that
you are not related to the murder victim.
Paternity testing nowadays are very developed.
It is 99.9% accurate.
In other words, this person is not your daughter.
Your daughter is probably alive.
Unless the murder victim is not your biological daughter.
Officer Yang.
Please let me bring her home.
I'm sorry, Mr. Su.
Although we can't confirm that Yi-Ching Su is the murder victim,
lawfully, a body of the possibility of homicide is a kind of evidence.
And the ownership of an evidence belongs to the prosecutor, not...
Papa Su.
I can understand your feelings.
But before we find the murderer,
can you give us some time?
What were you thinking, talking like that?
I just said it like how it is.
What did I say wrong?
Right, you didn't say anything wrong.
You are super. You are awesome.
You have no humanity.
Despite the cruelness,
our responsibility is to tell the family the truth.
That day at the forensic office, I saw you close your eyes.
I almost thought you got a little bit of commiseration.
Did I misunderstand something?
That day...
my eyes were dry on that day.
Mr. Yi-Ming Lei,
why don't you go back to Mars?
This comb is too clean.
Papa Su,
Any of Ching-Ching's hair here?
No.
Or her toothbrush?
Her cup?
Her food that was taken a bite of in the fridge?
No. She was a hygiene freak,
and she got a stomach ulcer.
So, I never kept anything she ate.
Okay.
Never mind.
If you think of anything, please let me know.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Smells good. Cool.
The tenderloin
is tender and rare.
My friend saved it for me specially.
You have friends?
Don't let what happened at work affect private life, please.
Is there really no way
to identify Yi-Ching Su as the murder victim?
It is not impossible.
Like, pathological specimens, hospitals usually keep them forever.
You mentioned that Yi-Ching Su got a stomach ulcer.
So, if the hospital got her pathological specimens,
we can have her DNA.
Right. I'm so stupid!
You are so smart!
- I gotta go. Bye. - Bye.
Good luck!
Awesome. Fruits on the 25th of every month.
See this orange. Next month, I should order melons.
Order, order, order.
How much progress is made on the case?
Yes.
That cell was sent by a Kao to the DNA database to compare.
But no match was found yet.
The report came in?
Have you seen it?
No.
You and Cian Yang send this over later.
Copy that.
I can't thank you enough.
Papa Su.
I promise,
I will find the murderer.
Thank you.
You testified this hat is your brother's.
You want to accuse your brother?
Not accuse.
I want to prove my brother's innocence.
How?
We have the same mitochondrial DNA.
We got it from our mom's side.
So, you want to use this mitochondrial DNA
to prove that the DNA under Yi-Ching Su's nails is not your brother's.
I wanna sample my saliva.
And compare it to the suspect's cell.
If my mitochondrial DNA is different than the suspect's,
then the suspicion against my brother can be cleared.
I can help.
Aren't you meeting with your friends?
I got stood up.
Well?
The result of the comparison...
The mitochondrial DNA of the suspect and you are the same,
meaning you two are biologically related.
It proves that your brother has made contact with Yi-Ching Su.
So, you think my brother is the murderer.
I never affirm without knowing for certain.
So...
I didn't affirm that your brother is the murderer.
Do you know...
a lying person usually changes affirmative into negative?
And he answers quickly to avoid suspicion.
But then he explains slowly.
Because one needs time to come up with a trustworthy answer.
Even though you are an expert of polygraph,
there is only a 50% success rate to tell a lie from truth.
Even though you are a DNA expert,
you can't trust DNA completely.
I know how you are feeling, really.
Like, back then all evidence indicated Yung-Ling Wang was involved.
But in my heart,
I still wanted to believe my beloved mentor was innocent.
Please don't compare your mentor to my brother.
To avoid arousing suspicion...
from today on, I am not a forensic investigator.
I will bring innocence to my brother's name as a sister.
What's wrong?
It's Genie.
Who are you now?
I am officer Yang.
Mr. Lei, your sandwich is ready.
Excuse me, uncle Fan. Can you help me?
Of course. No problem.
You can almost get a mug.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
We all know that evidence speaks.
But sometimes,
it is the cruel truth that the evidence says.
I really can understand Genie's feelings.
But...
I think the only way you can help is
never forget to see more evidence with diligence.
Let science tell the truth.
So, that no innocence is accused,
and help the murder victim find justice.
Luckily the index's intact.
The index's record can be used to find the data repairable.
So, now what?
How many videos can you save?
In fact, I already copied out one video from the phone.
Why didn't you say so? One is fine.
Maybe this one will clear A-Chieh's name.
It has nothing to do with A-Chieh.
Is there anything else you can find?
So, I collected all the testimonies.
And I recreated the path A-Chieh took that day.
This side is the crime scene.
At first, he appeared around the security camera over here.
And then here,
in front of the convenience store.
He passed out, then he was sent to the hospital.
And then,
Yi-Ching Su was murdered.
The staff of the store and the hospital can proof that.
A-Chieh was not at the crime scene.
Cool!
But why did A-Chieh pass out?
The doctor said it was concussion.
And the nurse told me something strange.
Help that girl.
Sir, what did you say?
Run!
I suspect that because A-Chieh was trying to protect Yi-Ching Su,
he got hit by the murderer.
He told Yi-Ching Su to run.
When he saw the murderer was trying to hurt Yi-Ching Su,
it was like seeing somebody trying to hurt his parents.
So, he gave all he had to save her.
Because saving her was like saving his own parents.
Your brother was brave.
He has not changed.
Still honorable, and kind.
I've identified the DNA of the unknown spots,
compared them to the cells.
I found that the DNA-STRs of the murderer are different than A-Chieh's.
Looks like someone didn't go home last night.
Probably spent the night at a girl's.
Right. And the girl kept you up all night long.
You stayed up all night to salvage Yi-Ching Su's phone, too.
Don't deny it. Your dark circles under your eyes ratted you out already.
Mine is nothing.
Look at Kao's big ones.
- Why so shy? - Right.
Weird.
Why do I find the pigmentation on your faces extra charismatic?
It's nothing.
It's no big deal.
But, who is the real murderer?
These 12 years, you've never forgotten Ya-Ju Yeh.
You go see the Yeh family on the 25th of every month.
Telling them three the process of investigation?
Ya-Ju Yeh was like my daughter.
I can never forget
the trace of her last teardrop.
In this world,
there's no parent who can accept that their daughter is raped and murdered.
Her parents asked me to find the murderer.
Who knew that before the case was cracked,
they'd follow their daughter?
If even I forgot Ya-Ju Yeh,
then she'd be completely forgotten by the world.
Sir, may I ask that if you remember
last year at 6:39pm on June 30th,
why were you there?
After I deliver to the CSIC, I always pass through there.
Oh.
If you can think of anything else, please let me know.
Yes, sir. Copy that.
Really?
But I heard that tragus piercing hurt very bad.
But I think it's very cool.
Please! Go with me!
That's not good.
I heard that people with tragus piercing are all worthless women.
None of your business.
- Sir, these two. - Okay.
- Is this good? - Yes.
I met this girl at the night club who was over-the-top.
She had seven tongue piercings. Like a psychic or medium.
Luckily, I didn't French kiss her.
They are so boring.
Yi-Ching Su got tragus piercing, too.
She was young. She wanted to be different.
But isn't it weird?
- Is piercing here good? - Yeah, what you doing?
It's no big deal. I did it, too. See?
- When did you get it? - Yeah?
It's fake. It's a rhinestone sticker.
I can help you. You want to try it?
I think Ya-Ju Yeh had a tragus piercing, too.
The murderer left one drop of semen on Ya-Ju Yeh.
The spots on Yi-Ching Su's underpants, compare their DNA-STRs together.
They are the same. Proving it is the same murderer.
It's been 12 years.
Finally, I got something on this guy.
What?
The murderer of Yi-Ching Su and Ya-Ju Yeh is the same?
That sicko.
Okay.
Officer Yang,
that crime with the bones, there's a new breakthrough?
We are working on it.
It seems like you have an opinion on the murderer.
I have an opinion on every murderer.
Especially rapists.
He is either incompetent or worthless.
Ten death sentences are still too light for him.
These two girls are both of the similar age, skinny, and tall.
I'm thinking, the murderer targets these girls
maybe because he's been abandoned by his mother or females of this type.
So, he feels inferior and traumatized, causing him to be a misogynist.
Most importantly, they both had tragus piercings.
I remember that uncle Fan said that
people with tragus piercings are all worthless women.
That's not good.
I heard that people with tragus piercings are all worthless women.
Excuse me, Uncle Fan. Can you help me?
Of course. No problem.
The report is out. The murderer is Ming-Cheng Fan.
Uncle Fan.
They should all die.
Why are you here?
I'm here to tell you.
Science has proved that Ming-Cheng Fan is the murderer.
They should all die.
You are worried about me.
I'm worried that Ming-Cheng Fan is already...
Thank you.
According to the comparison report,
the DNA of your oral mucosa, and the semen on Ya-Ju Yeh,
and the sweat spots on Yi-Ching Su's underpants,
all of them are of the same DNA.
It proves that you raped and murdered both of them.
You were armed to the teeth,
because you didn't want to leave any evidence.
But you didn't expect one drop of sweat sold you out.
No! Let go of me!
No!
Let go of me!
You don't have a tragus piercing.
You lied to me!
I spoke to your dad.
Your dad told me,
I don't have a murderer in my house.
I don't have a son like that.
My dad took me to the hospital for a DNA test.
I am really his son.
It's that woman with the tragus piercing.
She cheated on my dad.
That's why my dad said I was a bastard.
Children are very fragile on the inside.
His mom didn't want him and his dad thought he was a bastard.
So, he was afraid that his dad wouldn't want him, either.
So, Ming-Cheng Fan wanted to punish his unfaithful mom instead of his dad.
But deep down,
he must've longed for his dad's the approval and care.
Sorry. Here you go.
Thank you all for proving my brother's innocence. My treat.
I'll get some drinks. Want something?
Why do you need three bags for that?
Yeah, why do you take them all?
- Something in the bags? - No, I just...
Reward cards!
Thunder Lei likes to get points!
- So many! - If I didn't collect points,
we wouldn't have Ming-Cheng Fan's fingerprints and caught him.
So cool! 100 points!
I suppose you can get that cute mugs when you got all your points, right?
You are like my sister. Like a teenage girl.
Almost midnight. It is almost dad's birthday.
See?
So cool.
Papa Su loves his daughter, regardless of DNA.
It is pretty ironic.
Ming-Cheng Fan is papa Fan's biological son.
But he couldn't get fatherly love.
We found the murderer. But your brother is still...
Did you get into CSIC to find your brother?
