This incomplete prosecution report is related to your father's suicide.
If this case is brought up again
it might mean that your father's malfeasance might be invalid.
As far as I know, Qin Ming seems to be investigating
his father's case from 20 years ago.
It was another forensic investigator.
Who was it?
His name was Fan Jian.
I've been hiding for 20 years.
Whatever is to come, has come.
My father couldn't turn you in in time.
The night before he could hand in the report
- Dad! - He passed away.
[Medical Examiner Dr. Qin] [Episode 16]
Dad!
Dad! Dad!
Stop joking around.
Really?
Isn't it fun?
Of course, it's true.
Let's enjoy the day.
The party has begun.
Where's the food?
- Exactly. - You're right.
He's quite cute.
Be a good boy.
Food is ready!
- Here come the cakes! - Come and have dinner!
Great!
Wait for me.
What is that toy in your hand?
Let me play with it for a while?
- You can't catch me! - Let me play with it.
You can't catch me!
- Let me play with it. - Come on!
Let me play with it.
If you let me play with it, I won't catch you.
Come on!
Let me play with it.
Stop fooling around.
He won't let me play with it.
[Our son's seventh birthday party]
Here! Come and say hi.
Hello!
It's Qin Ming's birthday.
Let's sing Qin Ming a birthday song.
- Sure! - I'll start.
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!
Thank you, Mom and Dad! Thanks, everyone!
Make a wish.
Great!
Son, what wish did you make?
I wished that I can be with Mom and Dad forever.
- We'll live happily together. - Good son.
He's so mature.
Ming is so filial.
Here.
I'm so envious.
Here's a toast.
Here!
Happy birthday to little Qin Ming.
I'll drink a toast to you.
I don't cook very well.
Just make do with the food.
Sure!
Here, try some.
You're so annoying.
Naughty son.
Cream on my face?
Cream on yours.
I'm going to bite you.
Look.
Son.
What would you like to be when you grow up?
I want to be a forensic investigator like Dad.
My good son.
Are you okay?
What's the matter?
I don't know what's with me today.
I got drunk after just two drinks.
You usually drink quite well.
Ting Ting, get me a towel.
Where's the towel? Where is it?
Isn't there a yellow one?
Wait here.
Where's the towel? Where is it?
Isn't there a yellow one?
Wait here.
[Da Bao calling...]
The number you dialed is unavailable.
Here, have some fruit.
Thank you.
When I last saw you you were only eight years old.
You've become a young man in the blink of an eye.
You look just like your father when he was young.
A lot of young women must be hot on your heels.
If your parents were alive
how great would it be for them to see you all grown up?
I...
You phoned to ask me about your birthday party that year.
Yes.
I actually...
I want to know...
I'd like to know what exactly happened before my father fell to his death.
Sure.
I'll tell you anything I can remember.
That night...
Was there anything that seemed odd?
However small it might be.
For example, were there other visitors?
What did you eat and drink?
Did anyone say something strange? Anything would do.
Anything odd...
I really have to refresh my memory.
Let me think.
So many people were there that day.
You were sitting between your parents.
Here's a toast to my son.
I sat next to your dad.
Qin...
You're not a big drinker. Slow down.
Don't worry. I didn't drink much.
I know when to stop.
Exactly. What's wrong with a man having a bit more to drink?
I'm a woman and I drink a lot.
Look at you. You married my gorgeous friend.
You also have such a beautiful son.
I'm so envious.
Bottoms up.
Here, cheers.
Your dad rarely smoked.
He usually drank very little.
You mother kept an eye on him as well.
He was a very obedient husband.
Could you take a look at this picture?
Of the people in the picture
did anyone get on the balcony with my father halfway through the party?
That day...
We were all quite happy.
We had a lot of wine.
I was really a bit tipsy that night.
I might not be able to recall every detail.
If I could remember more
I would have told them when the case was investigated.
Your mother looked lovely in that white sweater.
She was so fair.
She looked exceptional in white.
We were so envious of her.
What color did you say the sweater was?
That sweater was white.
You're not color blind?
Of course not.
Isn't that a white sweater?
Get me a towel.
Where's the towel? Where is it?
Isn't there a yellow one?
Wait here.
Why would you call that white towel a yellow one?
You're right. Why... Why would I...
Why would I say that it was yellow?
That's right.
After I had a few drinks that day
everything I saw was yellowish.
I found it so weird.
What did you drink?
We all had the same alcohol.
Your mom did all the cooking.
We had osmanthus wine.
I usually drink quite well.
But that wine we had was really quite strong.
After just a few sips I felt unwell and my head ached.
I even threw up.
Your head ached, you threw up, and everything had a yellow tint?
Did all those symptoms occur on the same day?
Yes, that does ring a bell.
I asked for a towel to wipe my face after I threw up.
What else did you drink that day?
What else did I drink?
Luo wouldn't let me drink. He insisted that I was drunk.
Qin was also drunk and had a headache.
He also threw up a couple of times.
Why didn't he stop Qin instead?
Which Luo are you referring to?
Your Uncle Luo, Luo Yao.
Your serial killer can't wait to see you.
He used to your father's death to get your attention.
This means the killer has traditional values.
Auntie Wang, thank you.
Do you know anyone else who would know my parents well?
I still have some questions.
Your parents' instructor, Professor Fang.
Professor Fang?
Qin Ming!
Qin Ming?
Qin Ming!
He locked it?
The light is still on.
He has no other friends except for us.
Where could he go at this time?
Could he really be dating someone?
Oh my goodness.
If only that were true.
Then we wouldn't be suspected as a couple.
It's as good as getting the Jade Emperor
of forensic science a Heavenly Queen Mother.
I told you that Baby should get a boyfriend like Qin Ming.
He could drive her crazy in two days.
If it weren't for my intense passion for forensic science, I'd have quit the job.
Can I offer you some advice?
Don't keep saying Baby (Bao Bao) all the time.
It makes me feel awkward hearing it.
I say...
Could Qin Ming be in trouble?
If he's in trouble it must be really big.
A workaholic like him would never take days off.
That's what I'm worried about.
He should be out on a date.
What are we to do with this food?
Let's keep it.
What if he really found us a sister-in-law?
We can use this to welcome her.
You're using this to welcome her?
You're such a scrooge.
Don't underestimate me!
I'll treat you generously once my salary is increased.
Where has he gone?
[Public Security Bureau of Longfan City]
Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Sun. It's so late.
There's no need to be so polite.
The case is a very old one so it's way in the back.
Take a look.
There are the autopsy reports. The ones from 1995 are there.
Take a look.
Thank you.
[Qin Song]
[Time of death: Morning 08/26/1995]
Qin Ming?
You're already all grown up?
It seems that I really am old.
Have you met me?
Not only have I met you
but I also had you in my arms when you were three or four years old.
I remember that was five years after Class One of the 1978 alumni graduated
and they met up for a class reunion.
Your parents took you with them.
Both my parents were your students?
They both were.
Class One of 1978 was the first batch of students I taught as a professor.
We got along very well.
Therefore, I also remember them the best.
I have a group photo with them.
Here.
Have a seat.
Your father, Qin Song, was the best student in the class.
Yet he chose to be a forensic investigator.
Enough of that.
By the way, how are you doing now?
What do you do?
I'm a forensic investigator.
Just like my father.
You made the same choice as your father.
I'd like to become a forensic investigator.
A forensic investigator?
It's a very specialized field and a difficult one.
Sir.
We don't have many professional forensic investigators.
There are still many vacancies in this field.
There are many doctors around to save lives.
But there really aren't many to speak for the dead.
Do you know that you're the best student in the class?
You should consider this carefully.
Sir, I didn't make this decision rashly.
I've wanted to be a forensic investigator for a long time.
In that case, I will respect your decision.
What I want to say is
that is a difficult job and one without much glory.
Sir, I'm ready for it.
Your father suddenly opted to become a forensic investigator.
I did find it quite a pity.
Judging by his capability he could have easily been appointed
to one of the top three hospitals.
I saw that he was doing well at his job so I was relieved.
Until that happened.
Let's talk about something else.
Were my parents already dating when they were at school?
Speaking of that...
It's a long story.
It wasn't your father who first courted your mother.
It was a classmate, Luo Yao.
Luo Yao?
This incomplete malfeasance report is related to your father's suicide.
If this case is brought up again
it might mean that more than one person handled this case.
Your father's malfeasance might be invalid.
Luo Yao was also a good student, like your parents.
They were all very close friends.
Luo Yao fell in love with your mother the first time he laid eyes on her.
But your mother didn't consent to his courtship.
It wasn't until the last year of school
that Qin Ming and Ye Qing became a couple.
Then everyone then figured out what was going on between them.
Me? It's all right.
Hold on.
It's for you.
The coronary artery of this leaf is highly visible.
Blood flow is smooth.
It's in great health.
That's a standard answer.
But it's not the one I want.
Is there another answer?
Another answer?
This leaf is very beautifully formed.
Its appearance is outstanding.
It's just like you.
- Hello, Professor. - Hi.
Luo Yao?
There's another woman in this group photo.
Who is she?
That's Meng Ru Yue.
When Luo Yao felt the most dejected
Meng Ru Yue entered his life.
They got married very quickly.
[Name: Qin Song]
[Qin Song. Time of death: 08/26/1995]
[Skull injury due to a fall from a great height. ]
[Meng Ru Yue 08/27/1995]
Your fever will go down tomorrow.
Just keep the IV drip in.
It's all right.
Xiao Zhao, keep her on the IV drip tomorrow for a day.
Sure.
What is it? Are you unwell?
Dr. Meng Ru Yue?
I have to ask you about a case.
It's about the autopsy report for Qin Song from 20 years ago.
I'm no longer a forensic investigator.
Ask someone else about it.
I'm also a forensic investigator and I've read the autopsy report.
The blood test came back negative for alcohol and drugs.
That's impossible.
According to an eyewitness
the victim had been drinking. He threw up and was also groggy.
We were certain that the victim died from the impact of the fall.
The blood test was normal.
There were no problems.
That was it.
[Streptomycin, aspirin, digitalis]
[phenobarbital, digoxin, hydrochlorothiazide]
We were all quite happy that day so we drank a lot.
I usually drink very well but I only had a few that day
and I felt sick and had a headache. I even threw up.
Qin was also drunk.
His head hurt and he threw up a few times as well.
According to Auntie Wang's description
everyone present showed symptoms of intoxication.
However, the autopsy report showed that
his blood alcohol didn't exceed the average limit.
The autopsy report is obviously questionable.
[Meng Ru Yue 08/27/1995]
That's Meng Ru Yue.
She is Luo Yao's ex-wife.
We were certain that the victim died due to the impact of the fall.
The blood test was normal.
If Auntie Wang was right
what is Meng Ru Yue trying to cover up?
Ting Ting.
Get me a towel.
Where is the towel?
Isn't there a yellow one?
After I had wine that day
everything I saw was yellowish.
Your head ached, you threw up, and everything had a yellow tint?
- Did they occur on the same day? - Yes.
Xanthopsia? (Yellow vision)
What caused xanthopsia?
A drug reaction?
[Digoxin Tablets]
Digoxin?
It's a medication used for various heart conditions.
If an overdose of it could cause poisoning...
[Longfan City's Criminal Investigation Team]
Commissioner.
You asked to see me?
Lin Tao.
You've performed quite well recently.
You did well in resolving the cases.
It's all right.
What is it, Commissioner?
Are you going to promote me and give me a raise?
A raise? Forget it. You can work overtime.
Answer me.
What is your view on the cases of the missing molars?
I think that the cases are all related.
There might be a mastermind behind them.
The missing molar is the signature of the unsub.
Keep talking.
I think that this unsub is trying to challenge the police.
However, we're out in the open and the unsub is in hiding.
This might be a game of cat and mouse.
Therefore, the unsub won't act soon.
Who do you think is behind this case?
This unsub...
We have very few clues right now.
I just think that the unsub must be very well trained.
As for the rest, I can't really tell yet.
Qin Ming hasn't been at work recently.
Do you know where he went?
He didn't tell me.
He hasn't answered my calls either.
He must be handling some personal matters.
What is it? Do you need to see him?
Listen.
As far as I know
Qin Ming is looking into his father's death, a case 20 years old.
Liu Tao, you must stay alert.
Keep a close eye on him.
Inform me right away if anything happens.
I'll leave him to you.
[Tang Quan Clinic]
Digoxin poisoning.
It causes dizziness, headache
loss of strength, blurred vision, insomnia, nausea, and delirium.
Xanthopsia...
It also causes xanthopsia.
Ting Ting, get me a towel.
Where's the towel?
Isn't there a yellow one?
It would have been seen in any blood test.
Why didn't you tell the truth?
Who are you trying to protect?
Luo Yao?
He's your ex-husband.
He knows that you take digoxin tablets.
[Digoxin]
It was his wishful thinking...
He's still in love with your mother.
Your parents were truly in love with each other.
He had it all wrong.
Even after your father died
he didn't stand a chance!
Why didn't you stop him?
You're too naive.
Do you really think that I knew about it beforehand?
When I saw your father's corpse...
and found out that the digoxin level in his blood was way above average...
then I realized what was going on!
What would you have me do?
He was my husband.
Could I bear to have him imprisoned?
What about me?
I saw my own father lying in a pool of his own blood.
Then I had to witness how he was wronged for malfeasance.
I misunderstood my father for 20 years.
My mother died of grief.
What did I end up doing?
I regarded Luo Yao as my mentor.
Uncle Luo, I'm here to ask you for some advice.
Wasn't Luo Yao my father's friend?
Why would he do that?
You said that I'm too naive?
I think so too.
There's one thing I can't figure out.
You were also a forensic investigator!
For your own personal gain...
you murdered your friend...
Then abused your authority to frame him for a crime.
Do you think that you're worthy of your occupation and friends?
Qin Song and Ye Qing were never my friends!
I fell in love with the wrong man.
He committed murder for a woman who never loved him.
But he never really loved me...
Regardless...
He left me in the end.
I have one last question for you.
Where can I find Luo Yao?
Goodness! You don't even have an umbrella in rain like this?
You gave me a fright!
