[Love Me If You Dare]
Xiao Jin is missing.
What's even more scary is the fact that
more missing persons cases are turning up.
There is no sign of them stopping.
Mr. Bo must be interrogated.
I only catch the worst criminals.
Only I can catch them.
- Is this lovely lady your girlfriend? - She is my new assistant, Jian Yao.
Why do you want me to be your assistant?
Is Bo Jin Yan pursuing you?
You are such a genius.
Murderer! Murderer! Murderer!
[Episode 3]
I only catch the worst criminals.
Human traffickers? What a bunch of losers.
Serial killers are what I'm looking for.
I will give you one minute.
When you are done being shocked, you should do your job as my assistant.
How can he be sure of that?
Why? How did he come to that conclusion?
Hang on.
They want to know why.
I will brief them when I get back.
Let them find the bodies first.
This is very serious.
Everyone is waiting.
Chief also just came.
Let Professor Bo tell us first.
Can you brief them on the phone?
The last time I did a brief
was in a lecture hall at the University of Maryland.
Now you are asking me to do a brief at...
the Matou Village's toll gate in Wulin County on National Highway 108.
What's wrong with that?
If what you say is right, it doesn't matter where you say it.
Here's the thing.
Professor Bo is preparing for the brief.
He still needs to find more evidence.
He is not available right now.
Once we arrive at Tong City, we will brief you as soon as possible.
The brief will be more complete by that time.
Assistants are all liars.
Shut up.
With the corners of your mouth pulled down, your head tilted down
and your droopy upper eyelids
I think I see the typical grimace hidden under your calmness?
It seems my previous judgment about you was not that accurate.
It seems that the sadness deep in your heart is related to your father.
You're wrong. The reason why I'm in pain is because
you are to brief the police team soon.
Miss Assistant, what's wrong with you?
It is because I am your assistant that I'm giving you this advice from my heart.
The people in there are detectives who are really committed to their jobs.
When you present to them can you please not satirize them?
Even when they have questions, can you please answer them patiently?
Where did you get such a strange idea about me?
What?
The way you treated me and others.
Do you think that's okay?
Every word you say can drive people mad.
I only satirize people
when there's a huge gap between our intelligence levels.
It's not because I am better than them at doing the job.
The nature of the police's work is totally different from mine.
Why would I satirize those
who know nothing about criminal psychology?
The suspect you are looking for is...
a little bit smart.
You can say that he is careful.
He has a preferences for his victims.
He didn't take the victim in a violent way.
He is very good at communication.
He chats with the victim for a short amount of time.
Treats the victim to a meal. Recommends him for a job.
Then he brings the victim to the place he has prepared.
He is single.
He has rented a place near the farmer's market.
Maybe his parents left him the place.
This is where he commits the crimes.
The territory where he usually operates is small.
It won't go beyond the area marked on the map.
Does everyone see that?
The area marked on the map is where he feels comfortable walking around.
In this area
based on what I just said
reinvestigate and collect the information that is related to the victim.
You will definitely find something.
Once the victim's body is found
I will give you the full profile of the suspect.
If you have any questions you may ask now.
Why does he live near the farmer's market?
It's near the place where the first victim went missing.
Indeed, he is smarter and bolder than normal people.
But he is nothing more than that.
With his limited experience
he would not choose a place too many miles away from home
when he committed the first crime.
Also he didn't have the confidence to convince a teenager
to go too far away with him.
Are you sure that those kids were murdered?
There's more than a 90 percent chance
that people who are missing for more than two weeks have been killed.
Professor Bo, how can you know the profile once we find the bodies?
Because all of his inner turmoil
will be reflected in the bodies.
Xun Ran, you are the only one in the station who has been trained in the US.
Can we believe what he said?
You cannot randomly guess what the suspect look like.
It's not a guess.
Professor Bo should have his reasons for inference.
For example
the body types of boys who are 15 or 16 are very different.
A boy can be 1.7 meters tall if he develops well.
But all the victims are under 1.6 meters.
The tallest one is only 1.58 meters tall.
This means that the suspect himself won't be too strong.
So when he was looking for a victim
he didn't have the confidence.
He only dared to pick the people who were thin and weak.
What you said sounds convincing.
Continue.
Although I can't infer Professor Bo's theory yet
I believe that his profile about the suspect won't be wrong.
Captain, Deputy Captain. We got something new.
Following Captain's orders
when reinvestigating around Jiaozi Street
Team Two was told by a fruit shop owner that she had seen victim number three.
She said that the victim, and a man who matched the sketch
went into her shop and bought some fruit.
When did that happen?
The owner said she remembered clearly.
It was November 5th, her wedding anniversary.
She was in a hurry to go home.
They were her last customers of the day.
They took a long time to decide, which annoyed her a lot.
November 5th.
[December 5th. November 5th?]
That means that victim number three
had already met the suspect on November 5th.
But the date he was reported missing is December 5th.
The time between the two dates is so long.
[December 5th. November 5th?]
Tell me.
What do you want to get off your chest?
Who was you first victim?
What triggered you to commit these crimes?
What kind of person will you become?
Well... whatever new evidence you have, you can just tell him yourself.
Why do you have to ask me?
You are Professor Bo's assistant.
He said all communication with the police has to go through you.
Also, I don't have his number.
Hurry.
Hello, Professor Bo.
The police officer says he has some new findings...
What happened?
He told us to go to his place.
His place?
Well... Did he ask you to go by yourself? Or did he ask us to go together?
He only said three words. "Come over here." Then he hung up.
Then let's go. Hurry up.
Don't push me.
I don't think he will get up and welcome you.
You can just tell him what new evidence you have.
Well...
He seems to be sitting there in a daze. But he can hear everything you say.
Here is what I have.
According to the investigation area and the profile of the suspect you provided
we conducted a deeper investigation
and found out the real length of time that some victims have been missing--
You already knew that.
Yes, I did.
What did you know?
In the countryside
boys around 15 or 16 are basically considered adults.
So the care and the supervision they get
is not the same as what city kids of the same age get.
It's true. The real date that some of these kids went missing
is very different from the date they were reported missing.
I have already deduced the real dates that they went missing.
You can check the new information.
[Missing time]
[November 11th November 5th]
I get it now.
The real date of when victim number three went missing
is earlier than victim number two.
So the order should be switched.
Professor Bo, besides the date when these kids went missing
we also found some other information that might be related.
Do you really believe that this is a serial murder case?
Why would this kind of case, which only exists in American TV dramas
happen in our city all of a sudden?
I didn't want to believe it at first.
But upon further investigation
it proves that Professor Bo's judgment is right.
I still don't get it.
You are his assistant. Didn't he tell you?
His conclusion just came out of nowhere.
He never explains where or how he draws his conclusions.
Let me explain this to you.
Usually, victims of human trafficking are either female or kids under 10.
But the missing persons this time are all young males.
That doesn't match typical human trafficking cases.
To some extent, those young males could be a labor force.
Maybe they were sold to do illegal work.
But there's no evidence of that.
Human trafficking requires some sort of transportation.
Boys in their teens are not simple merchandise to transport.
Moreover, Tong City is a small city.
Transportation options are very limited.
But as of now
there's not even one clue from any of the seven victims who went missing.
Why is that?
Professor Bo.
I've already circled the three most likely locations.
Bring your people.
Start searching for the bodies now.
I'm on my way.
What should we do now?
I'm tired. I need some sleep.
Do we have work today?
No, we don't.
Don't we need to help the police search for the bodies and the criminal?
That's the police's business.
I'm only responsible for the analysis.
Then I will go home.
I will come back tomorrow.
No, you can't.
All of your time now belongs to me.
I will go home.
I'm on call whenever you need anything.
No.
If we need to examine the bodies in the middle of the night
do I need to spend time picking you up?
If we can catch him as soon as possible
we can stop him from killing his next victim.
Where should I sleep?
Don't the girls usually get the bed?
You shouldn't read so many romantic novels.
Team Two, what's the situation over there?
No bodies yet.
Copy that. Continue the search.
Deputy Captain. Deputy Captain.
We have something over here.
Dig it up.
Hello?
Got it.
Bo Jin Yan.
Wake up.
Bo Jin Yan.
Chen Mo. Go sleep by yourself.
Chen Mo? Is that his girlfriend's name?
Why are you in my room?
They found the bodies.
I get it.
As long as we hadn't found the bodies
I still thought there was a chance.
A chance that the kids were just missing.
A chance that you had made a mistake.
I never make mistakes.
You are right.
Xun Ran said that
the bodies were buried at one of the locations you noted.
Now the police really admire you.
They also will approve of your guidance in the future.
My guidance was the most authoritative in the first place.
I don't need anyone's approval.
I asked you this before.
But you didn't give me an answer.
Why would an important person like you, who considers himself a genius...
ask me to be your assistant?
I know nothing about investigation.
And obviously you don't need a translator on this case.
Please don't say that I'm the only person you know in Tong City.
Also don't say things like I am sharp or observant.
If you ask, Uncle Li can find you a lot of people who are more qualified than me.
You are thinking too much.
I asked you because you are not an annoying person.
And you are good-looking.
If we are short-handed I will ask for more support.
Also interview the people who live here.
Ask them if they have noticed
anyone suspicious or suspicious circumstances during the night recently.
Tell me immediately if they do.
Xun Ran.
I asked for Professor Bo. Why are you here too?
Go back now.
You shouldn't look at things like this.
Many cops who have been doing the job for over 10 years can't even stand it.
Go home.
I will be in the car.
Are you scared?
I don't want to look at the bodies.
This is the time when you are most like a little girl.
Get in the car.
It's such a tragedy.
I'm not going to look that.
Based on your temperature and heartbeat
I can feel that you are a little bit nervous.
I'm fine.
So far we have found six bodies.
Obviously, we will find more.
Maybe we will find more bodies than what we have on record.
Not all kids have someone who'll call the police when they are missing.
He died of suffocation.
Judging from the bruises on the neck and the nylon fiber left here
the weapon is the most common nylon rope.
But we don't know why the body is in this shape.
The limbs, the head, and the body.
The victim was cut into six pieces by something sharp after he died.
Then he was buried.
The reason why a criminal dismembers a body
usually is to deal with the body more conveniently.
But after dismembering the bodies, the murderer put them back together.
And he buried them together.
They even have every organ.
What's the reason for that?
The time of death.
According to the medical examiner
the earliest died about five months ago
and the most recent died about a week ago.
We have to wait for the autopsy for a more accurate time.
Time between kills?
We haven't found all the bodies.
The shortest interval so far is about three weeks.
The most recent victim died a week ago.
Which means, there is a chance that Xiao Jin is still alive.
But he won't be alive for long.
Your heart, your desires, your pursuit...
They are all here.
What are you trying to say?
[No sexual assault]
[Fast death]
You were not looking for sexual satisfaction.
You didn't derive pleasure from the abuse either.
You didn't want to keep the dismembered bodies.
What you enjoyed was...
the killing.
Only the killing.
You were hitting with your jab. Hit hard.
Hello, Jin Yan. What's wrong? Are you out of fish?
You should ask Jian Yao.
No, I don't need any fish.
These are two new autopsy reports. Take them to Professor Bo.
I still need to go to the crime scene.
We already have eight reports.
Will we get more?
Until we finish digging out all the bodies, it's hard to say.
Professor Bo. Professor Bo.
Bo Jin Yan, are you in there?
Isn't it nice? That's my work.
- What's that? - Let me introduce him to you.
This is Chen Mo. Jin Yan's pet.
But he's not very obedient.
I'm not asking about him.
Bo Jin Yan, what are you doing?
Get out.
That's a simulation of a dismembered body.
Why would he look at it by himself?
Don't the police have a forensics office?
But then we wouldn't have enough time.
If we wait for the medical examiners to give us the answer
we will miss the opportunity to save the kids.
What answer does he want?
The tool the suspect used to dismember the bodies, the order in which he did it
his psychology, and all other details.
This are the newest autopsy reports.
This really is what happened.
- What happened? - He is improving.
From the hesitation, the entanglement, and the inexperience at the beginning
he gradually found the best way to free his twisted inner desires.
I've collected almost all the data I need.
When can you set up the modular programming
for the simulated demonstration?
I need one day.
Okay, okay, okay. Five hours.
You can go arrange that now.
Arrange what?
As a child, the suspect would kill and abuse animals
to fulfill his desire to kill.
But as time went on
he needed a higher level of satisfaction.
The killing behavior started half a year ago.
Something must have triggered him during that time.
For example, being unemployed, failing in business, losing a relative
breaking up with his girlfriend, etc.
What you are looking at now
is a reconstruction of how he dismembered every victim.
So heartless.
We can clearly tell that
the first victim's neck was chopped off, then his arms and legs.
Each part was clearly cut many times.
But with the last victim...
Professor Bo, what you are saying is
this body was dismembered into six pieces at the same time.
How can two hands cut five things at once?
Did the criminal have a partner?
But you said that
the pattern of each case all showed that
the suspect acted alone.
No matter how in sync he is with the partner
he could never do all that at the same time.
The suspect acted alone.
What makes us human is the ability to use tools.
Tools?
Professor Bo, are you are saying that...
To satisfy his desire to kill someone
he killed the victims one after another.
He was testing and improving.
Finally, he created a tool which can perfectly fulfill his violent fantasy.
A killing machine.
Yao Yao.
Uncle Wang.
Yao Yao, I have been to the police station.
The police said that maybe Xiao Jin is still alive.
Uncle Wang, have a seat.
Please don't worry.
Uncle Wang, the police will do their best to rescue Xiao Jin.
Don't worry.
I heard that the most important person on the case is the expert
who has returned from abroad and now lives in that villa.
I crashed through his door and offended him.
Yao Yao, I'm begging you.
Can you please apologize to him for me?
Or can you take me to him?
I will kneel down and kowtow to him begging for forgiveness.
I will beg him to get my son back.
Uncle Wang, listen to me.
Mr. Bo doesn't care about that.
He is handling the case very seriously.
Although I haven't worked with him for long
please believe me that he is the best.
Don't worry.
Do you really believe that?
Believe what?
The psychopathic murderer and the killing machine.
Jin Yan's professional judgment has never been wrong before.
No matter how inconceivable and wild his conclusion sounds at the time
it's always proven to be right in the end.
Though many times we wish he were wrong.
Can he really make it
based only on the wounds on the bodies?
Somehow the rumor about the killing machine is spreading
and getting more outrageous.
Many parents won't even let their kids out.
Hello?
Okay, I see.
Team Two, stay there and protect the scene.
Inform the medical examiner. I will be there soon.
One kilometer away from where the bodies were buried
they found another body.
It has been a whole day.
Doesn't he eat?
He is like this when he immerses himself in work.
Actually, I can see the kindness in him...
although he always acts like nothing special.
What are you laughing at?
He was right.
If a person has a sharp mind and particular observational ability
they can see the soul underneath the surface.
What are you talking about?
The sound stopped.
Maybe he succeeded.
Xun Ran, why are you here?
- Yao Yao, where is Professor Bo? - Back there.
Come in.
What do you think?
Did you make it?
Based on his average intelligence
I have already spent a lot of time on the stuff the suspect made.
Is that to dismember the bodies?
The machine made by the suspect obviously won't be beautiful like this.
But its structure won't be very different from this one.
You have destroyed only this many?
You have been stressing that
the criminal's physical strength is normal and his intelligence is average.
Even a genius like you wasted so many blades to make this killing machine.
That's right.
The suspect will have ruined many more blades than I did.
Right, this kind of blade is a controlled item in our country.
You can't just purchase or distribute them.
And you can't buy them online.
By tracing the blades' source, we will definitely get some leads.
I'll get on it right away.
Was he only here to look at the blades?
Right, Professor Bo.
We found another body.
It was a kilometer away from where we found other bodies.
Judging from the body's decomposition
it's very possible that he was the first victim.
Judging from the development of the bones
he was a young male, around 15 years old, like the other victims.
The time of his death should be between mid-January to early February last year.
I have checked all the reports of missing persons around that time.
I didn't find any matches.
Although the body is completely decomposed
- we can take DNA from... - Yes, we can.
But we don't have a complete database to compare it to.
It means that we may not be able to find out who the kid really was.
