I CAN TAKE YOU TO A MORE EXCITING WORLD
Here the current is not swift, too many rocks.
It's unlikely that he came down from upstream.
Plus, I think he was tied up before as well.
Do we have the time of death?
No livor mortis is formed yet
possibly due to the body being in the current.
His blood did not have enough time to precipitate.
We need to wait for the autopsy to confirm.
A man in woman's clothing.
Never seen such a person.
This inn has been here for many years.
We are in a remote area with just a few neighbors.
If there were such a person, I'd know for sure.
Is Mrs. Hou around?
Can I speak with her?
My wife is ill.
She's on the third floor. Not available for visitation.
I see.
So, the third floor is not open to guests?
Almost double the size of a normal lung.
The autopsy shows emphysema aquosum.
Emphysema aquosum?
It means the body
has 80% of the condition of emphysema aquosum.
If he fell into the water after death
both the lungs and the stomach accumulate fluid.
When the impact of water pressure
and current is big,
water could rush into the stomach.
But if fluid was found even in the intestines
then it's more likely that he drowned.
Take diatoms for instance.
They are protophytes with a small volume and diameter.
It cycles through the body with the fluid, but can't be excreted.
Then it accumulates inside the lungs.
Sometimes can be found even in the vertebra.
Water is a double-edged sword.
Without it, he wouldn't have drowned.
But, without it, there wouldn't be much evidence left, either.
What's wrong with the liver?
This needs to be sent to the lab.
Probably starvation.
It is malnourished and has shrunk.
Why don't you go?
OK.
I found hair at the crime scene.
I'll look for you later, thanks.
I found hair at the crime scene.
No hair follicle, So, I used mitochondrial DNA
to compare with the database. The result is here.
Related to an ex-con.
MEI WEI
Mei Wei.
Mei Wei, stop.
Didn't I tell you to stop?
Previous attempted murder
now with an actual body disposed?
Are you in advanced studies for jail?
I'm innocent, Officer Yang.
I've been a mother for years.
How could I kill again?
We found your hair
at the crime scene.
But after I sold my hair to the wig shop
I've never had long hair again.
How long ago was that?
About a year.
Then why did you run?
Because I saw you.
Mr. Lin,
after the family identified the bodies
the murder victims have been confirmed.
This is Chih-Wen Yu.
He's a hair stylist, 31 years old.
Single, rents a suite in downtown.
His colleagues said he hasn't shown up to work since April 29.
He was found dead on the bank on May 9.
This is Lai-Chai Weng, 48 years old.
Married, two kids, manager of a food factory.
Same on April 29, left the factory and never went home.
Both victims were found on the bank.
There were also drag marks at the scene...
and boxes of fireworks.
So, the killer follows the same pattern of crime.
Here is your basil omelet.
It's on the house.
Why basil?
I never said I like it, did I?
I told you I don't.
Plus, I can't smell it anyway.
Are you making fun of me?
Since you can't smell it, why fear the smell of basil?
I'm not afraid. I don't eat it because…
Because of what?
It's none of your business.
I don't think you should be too close to Thunder Lei.
Don't you think your personalities
don’t match well?
He is kind of stingy, picky,
likes to murmur.
Did you notice how he stands?
He often clenches his thighs, like an X.
You still like him.
I didn't say that.
I just feel…
Just admit it.
Are you extracting diatoms with the acid treatment process?
The siliceous cell wall is very thick
can't be corroded by strong acid.
CRIME INVESTIGATION RECORD
Drowned.
The fluids from his sphenoid sinus and lungs
were tested positive for Achnanthes and Cocconeis.
Both are common diatoms
found in the fresh water area.
The river sample
contains both diatoms as well.
The amount is almost the same.
He probably drowned around that area.
Lai-Chai Weng drowned.
Chih-Wen Yu died of malnutrition.
Their wrists and ankles
both have the same contusions
probably from handcuffs.
Handcuffs.
A transvestite then handcuffs.
Is the murderer targeting these people?
No clue.
We sell clothes here, not anklets.
Well, even if you don't sell anklets
we found your store's shopping bag at the victim's house.
Also, the victim's clothes are similar to what you sell here.
Tell you what. I'll show you the picture.
Maybe you'll remember something.
There's no need. I don't know him anyway.
Did you say "him"?
Oh, yeah!
I didn't tell you if it was a man or a woman.
Here we are.
-Cross-dress. -Is this for human?
-What is he doing? -Don't be bashful! Come on!
Hurry up!
It's too cold.
You're cold? Look at this.
-Why me again? -Don't blame me.
The boss said guys with your height are most popular.
I know, look how gorgeous Thunder Lei is
after getting dressed up.
Must be his type.
It was almost me.
I knew you were weird.
I CAN TAKE YOU TO A MORE EXCITING WORLD
Moron, what are you doing?
He's gone.
You'll get used to it with practice.
-Don't. -Sit down.
What are you doing?
Give me your feet.
Because of work, my dad
always had a strong body odor.
When I was a kid, whenever he came home from work
he would come hug me.
But I was mean. I would secretly hold my breath.
Who knew that as I did so, now I can't even smell.
It's probably psychogenic.
Probably.
Never knew that a person's body odor
could bring such a huge impact on the family.
-It's not like-- - You should've told him.
So, you're saying that on May 9, at midnight, you saw something.
I was taking the red-eye flight that night.
So, around 1 o'clock
I drove out.
And then you saw Mrs. Hou driving alone towards the river.
Where would she go that late?
And you only saw her back.
How do you know for sure it was her?
It was obviously Mrs. Hou's car.
If it weren't her, then who else could it be?
Unfortunately, my wife is not here.
She went abroad a few days ago.
Abroad?
Isn't she ill?
She went abroad to recuperate.
Maybe for half a year.
Kao checked it. Chia-Chia Hsu is Po-Yu Hou's wife.
But she died a year ago,
drowning accident.
Where?
The same river where we found the two victims.
Sorry, excuse me for a moment.
This is Chia-Chia Hsu's ring.
But I saw it at the costume party...
On the man who bought Thunder Lei a drink.
Yes.
The same star-shaped ring and sticker.
The three victims also drowned at the same place.
Po-Yu Hou is definitely our prime suspect.
Wait. Did you see there are writings on this?
CHIA-CHIA HSU
There seems to be some indistinct writing.
YOU NEED TO STOP HER RIGHT NOW OTHERWISE SHE WILL KILL MORE PEOPLE
“Please stop her as soon as possible
otherwise she will kill more people”.
Who is "she"?
Characters Hsu and Tuo both have the radical Yen.
No matter the strokes or the wielding of pen,
they all look the same.
It's all written by Po-Yu Hou.
But the note for help was also written by him.
Does that mean he's not the killer?
It was obviously Mrs. Hou's car.
If it weren't her, who else could it be?
My wife is ill.
She's on the third floor, not available for visitation.
WIFE DECIDES EVERYTHING.
I CAN TAKE YOU TO A MORE EXCITING WORLD
Your food is here.
Who said you could eat?
No.
Police! Freeze!
Mary left this here.
We found a wig in your wardrobe.
This wig has the same DNA as the hair we found at the crime scene.
Also, we found some hair in the hairnet of this wig
which had the same DNA as your hair.
Which means you have worn this wig before.
All five victims have identified you as their captor.
You can't get away with this.
OK, let's talk about something else.
These are notes written by you.
Who is "she"? Is it Mary?
Did Mary tell you to do this?
Mary got rid of them. Not me.
Listen, playing possum isn't going to help you.
Stop pushing Yu,
he's just a kid.
Are you trying to play crazy?
Sir, who are you?
I'm the manager at Shing-Su, Po-Yu Hou.
Didn't we talk before?
You already forgot.
Are you that stupid? Morons!
Mr. Hou, I do remember you. We've met before.
So glad to see you again.
That was such an act, why weren't you an actor?
Mr. Hou, listen, I am losing my patience.
Where is Mary?
Speak now.
Stop playing possum.
She's here.
She is right here.
She is here.
After the five victims were rescued,
did we find out anything else?
They said Po-Yu Hou gave them food
and acted like one who really cared.
But after he changed into woman's attire,
it's like he turned into a witch.
Doesn't feed them. They were scared.
That he would drag them out and kill them.
Who allowed you to eat?
I choose you.
Help! No!
No! Help me!
I've seen too many criminals act crazy
and attempt to escape from legal responsibilities.
Even if Hou only has a 1% possibility, he cannot be left off.
Do you think you can pass the polygraph test?
Ask whatever you want.
When a person is nervous,
excited or scared,
his sympathetic nervous system will trigger sweat excretion,
increasing the conductivity of the skin.
Hands have dense distribution of sweat glands,
making it easier to test for conductivity change.
Did you throw Lai-Chai Weng,
Chih-Wen Yu and Cian-Ting Gan into the river?
No.
Were you there when it happened?
No.
Let me say it this way,
Did you see Mary throw the victims into the river?
Yes.
If you weren't there, how did you see her?
Through the glass window.
I saw Mary.
You know that woman...
I really couldn't stop her.
I couldn't stop her.
I couldn't,
Only I can protect Yu.
Really.
Only I can protect Yu.
Your ring is pretty.
My wife likes stars.
So, I ordered a ring like this to propose to her.
When I wear it,
I feel like she's never left me.
But I remember that when Mary went to the club,
she had the same ring.
Mar...
Mary is my wife.
I don't want to lose her.
But I don't want her to kill people either.
So, I wrote that note for help.
Where's the note, then?
Did you send it?
Don't want to lose her.
Why don't you…
And then you left her killing others.
Do you know you do more harm than good?
Why didn't you stop her?
It's all my fault.
How did she kill, tell me.
Your fault, how, tell me.
How is it your fault?
Yes, it's your fault.
Why didn't you stop her if you knew it was wrong?
You pervert.
I'm going to strangle you, pervert!
It's all your fault that I'm like this!
Sick pervert!
Perv, perv what.
We got Mary out.
Of course, you are her type.
Oh please, why those heels.
Those really would kill.
Alright,
Ms. Mary.
If you want to continue in the outfit,
I suggest you sit down and cooperate.
So, you mean Hou has Dissociative Identity Disorder?
-Multiple Personality Disorder. -Yes.
So, he really is crazy?
Multiple personalities.
This disorder puzzles the orthodox medical education.
Scientists still can't explain why there could be
different temperaments, physiques
and brain waves in the same body.
It's usually related to trauma from childhood.
Maybe he had physical or mental abuse.
To escape from the pain, he developed this disorder
to protect himself.
You are a transvestite,
but why do you hate transvestites so much?
We found this shoe box
in Chia-Chia Hsu's wardrobe.
Because Po-Yu Hou missed Chia-Chia so much,
other than pajamas, he didn't touch anything.
That's why you didn't find it.
This shoe box can prove the heart of Chia-Chia Hsu.
She also left you a note.
Chia-Chia didn't drown because she was throwing your clothes away.
She regretted throwing them away
and tried to retrieve them.
And then fell.
What are you doing?
Chia-Chia, I...
I...
Stay away from me. Go away. Stay away from me.
Honey.
If you didn't run away,
but confessed everything to your wife at that time,
you would've known that she had already accepted you.
You could've been happy together.
Mary wouldn't have had to protect you and have blood on her hands.
DEAR HUSBAND
I LOVE YOU, WHETHER YOU ARE GENTLE, OR MAD OR CROSS DRESSING.
SENT YOU THESE HEELS AS GIFT.
LET'S WALK TOGETHER FOR THE REST OF OUR LIFE!
This is for you.
This, this is basil.
Why did you give me basil?
Because you told Po-Yu Hou to face himself bravely.
What about yourself?
The Cian Yang that I know is not a coward.
Find a time and talk to your dad.
Don't leave any regrets.
Dad, there's something I want to tell you.
What?
Remember when I was little,
you would always wear your work clothes home.
Hmm.
Although I looked forward to your return,
whenever you hugged me,
I was actually afraid.
I was afraid of your body odor.
So, I would hold my breath secretly.
Until...
one day I realized I couldn't smell anything.
Even your fried basil eggs.
I couldn't smell them.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I'm horrible.
Chef,
because of my silly daughter,
can I borrow your stove for a minute?
Sure.
Here, try this.
Is it good?
If you like it, eat some more.
OK.
Your fried egg is the best in the world!
Dad.
I can smell it.
Really?
I smell it.
Then eat some more.
You should eat, too.
Eat some more.
