[Your Secret]
On the victim, a large number of wounds were discovered.
There are no signs of life.
This means that they appeared post-mortem.
Could it have been caused by the bite of a stray dog?
What is the evidence?
On the victim's neck, there appears to be a cut from a thin rope.
There's a clear physiological reaction.
Da Luo, did you find any wires or thin rope?
At this moment, no.
There is only one cut, which means that there was no resistance before death.
At least there was no struggle. We have not found any wounds from any resistance on the victim.
The injuries are mainly on the neck and face.
The neck has a very deep and thin cut
which caused serious trauma to the skin.
My guess is that it was caused by a very thin rope.
It could also be a wire.
Based on the examination results right now,
we can prove that the victim was killed.
Is a cello string able to hang a person?
Yes. The thickest, C string, can.
But if the weight is too much, it will wear and break easily.
Which means the body fell down.
On March 2nd, between 1:30 to 2:30 p,m,, where were you?
I was at the Pinghai International Hotel attending Xiao Xue's fan meeting.
- Are you a fan of Xiao Xue's? - Yes.
After the fan meeting, where did you go?
I... I left.
You didn't leave. You went to Xiao Xue's dressing room.
I did go to her room, but I only wanted to get her autograph.
However, I don't know why she got so mad
so I argued with her for a bit.
Is that so?
[Episode 1]
Beichen, let me introduce you.
A doctoral student from Pinghai School of Medicine. I leave her under your guidance.
Beishen?
He was a wonderful person and will be missed by his family's relatives.
I know that wherever he is, he's happy and in peace.
- Sorry. - Let me through.
Beishen!
My deepest sympathies to his family during this difficult period.
What's wrong? Do you two know each other?
Don't misunderstand.
The Lu Beishen you're talking about died five years ago.
I am his older brother. I am Lu Beichen.
Beishen never mentioned to me that he had an older brother.
But he talked about you, Gu Chu.
This is the Forensic Center's Medical Examiner, Lu Beichen.
- During the following months, you will be learning from him. - Yes.
Manager Jiang, I don't want this intern. Please give me another.
Why?
She used to be my younger brother's girlfriend.
She's a spoiled princess.
I doubt that she can perform a medical examiner's job and would hold others back.
No. I can do this job.
If Teacher Lu doubts me, I can take on any test.
That'll be it then. She was recommended by the dean.
Her academic record is very good.
It's useless to be good on paper.
She has no practical experience.
Look at you, she's a student.
What kind of practical experience would she have?
The Forensic Medical Examiner also has to show up on the scene.
The trainee has to move bodies. Can she do it?
Okay! Okay! Okay!
You're very strong.
Look, she's strong.
Manager Jiang,
there isn't just one intern at the Forensic Center.
It won't be hard to change, right? Please help me make the switch.
If you want to switch, you have to give me a reasonable explanation.
Teacher Lu, I will do my best to learn from you.
I guarantee that I definitely won't hold you back.
Hello?
I'll arrange it immediately.
They found a body on Mt. Nan.
You two hurry to the scene.
That will be it.
- Brother Luo. - Brother Lu.
- What's the situation? - Two hours ago, a body was discovered by some tourists.
Unfortunately, the footprints have been ruined.
No one has touched the body. It's still waiting for you.
New hire?
- Hello, I'm Gu Chu. - Major Crimes, Division 1, Luo Chi.
Hello, Luo Chi.
Teacher Lu, are they collecting samples?
You still need to ask me that?
Do I need to tell you how to take photos?
There's no need. I know how. We've been taught before.
First, take a distant shot. Then, a panoramic shot.
Finally, take photos of the body.
I didn't ask you.
Leader Luo, this identification card was found on the victim.
Xiao Xue?
It can't be that famous cellist, Xiao Xue, could it?
Xiao Xue?
[Xiao Xue - 2018/03/03 - Born for Music]
It's really her. She studied at the same university as me.
Should you be touching evidence?
Leader Luo, we're done.
Victim. Female. About 25 to 35 years old.
Looks like her height is about 1,60 to 1,65 meters.
Light brown hair. Black suit jacket.
Based on the body's rigor mortis,
the time of death should be between 11:00 p.m. last night
and 2:00 a.m. today.
Leader Luo. I looked around, there aren't any houses nearby.
In about 200 meters from here, there is a provincial highway.
There are too many vehicles that come and go.
I asked Meng Meng to check out the cameras nearby to see if there are any suspicious vehicles.
The victim is probably the cellist, Xiao Xue. Look into it.
Xiao Xue?
I was supposed to go to her concert tomorrow.
You won't be able to go now. Hurry and go.
Okay.
On the victim's face, a large number of wounds were discovered.
There are no signs of life.
This means that they appeared post-mortem.
Could it have been caused by the bite of a stray dog?
What evidence is there?
On the victim's neck,
there appears to be a cut caused by a thin rope.
There's a clear physiological reaction.
Da Luo, did you find any wires or a thin rope?
At this moment, no.
It's very strange. Whether it was suicide or strangulation,
very few people use such thin wires.
There is only one cut, which means that there was no resistance before death.
There wasn't any frantic squirming at least.
There were no injuries due to resistance on the victim.
Injuries are mainly on the neck and face.
On the neck, there is a very deep and thin cut
which caused serious trauma to the skin.
Perhaps it was caused by a very thin rope.
It could also be caused by a wire.
Did I say something wrong?
You're not wrong.
The victim could very well have been strangled to death.
Later, they were hung to make it look like she committed suicide.
Take a blood sample and send it for testing.
Hello, I've come to bring you the sample.
Based on the test,
the substance under the victim's fingernail is from paint residue.
It could also be from wood lacquer.
Blood sample.
Oral swab.
Neck swab.
Fingernail swab.
One for the collar and cuffs.
And one for the genitals.
Are you new? I haven't seen you before.
My name is Gu Chu. I'm Medical Examiner Lu's new intern.
Then you're done for.
You'll die from working too hard.
I'm not afraid of hard work.
I'm just playing with you.
He's a very nice person, just a bit of a workaholic.
- How should I call you? - You can call me An An.
Sister... An An.
Teacher An An.
Don't call me "teacher." I haven't taught you anything.
It makes me feel old when you call me teacher. My name's Yu Jiang.
Sister Yu.
All right. The report for this test will be released tomorrow. It's very quick.
Okay.
On the victim's neck,
there were small traces of metal detected.
From the results, it is a silver alloy.
Teacher Lu, I've sent off the sample.
I need a cello string right now.
Right now?
Okay, I'll go look for it now.
Hello, sis? What's wrong?
Do any of your music classmates study the cello?
I thought it was something important.
You almost scared me to death this late at night.
This is very important.
I don't know anyone at the music academy.
But why are you looking for a cellist?
I don't care how you do it.
I need you to help me find a cello string right now, immediately.
Sis.
Si Si, the string... Quick.
- Sis, I didn't find it. - What?
I looked all over the dorms. Not just the cello.
Even the violin, viola, or double bass. I can't find any.
I'm doomed. This time I'm done for.
I tricked you.
You little trickster.
Here. Here.
Sis, what do you need it for?
For fieldwork.
That's right, you started your training.
How do you feel? Is it exciting?
I can't talk further. Go back and sleep. I still have things to do. Bye!
Bye-bye.
The two samples emit metal frequencies that are quite similar. They are both silver alloys.
This means that the metal traces found on the victim's wounds
possibly came from a cello string.
Da Luo.
Lao Lu, what did you find?
Leader Luo.
Based on the examination results right now,
we can determine that it was a homicide.
The murderer used a cello string to strangle the victim first.
Then hung her on a tree to make it look like a suicide.
We found out that there were no footprints at the scene.
If it was a suicide, it's not possible that her footprints were missing.
Also, on the chair, although there are fingerprints,
but the location is wrong. It doesn't look like the victim did it by herself.
It looks like someone took her hand and intentionally left prints.
The position of Mt. Nan is a bit slanted. There are no surveillance cameras atop the mountain.
I already dispatched people to look for any recordings near the crime scene,
but we don't have high hopes. Traffic is heavy nearby.
You say, can a cello string really hang a person?
Yes. The thickest, C string, can.
But because of gravity, it's abrasive. Therefore, it's easy to break.
So the body fell down.
You still haven't found the cello string that you mentioned?
It's so late, are you guys working overtime?
Do you want to eat some crawfish together in a bit?
- Okay. - Okay.
It's too late. I don't want to eat. You guys go ahead.
Then, what about you two?
Let's eat together next time.
All right, another day then.
- Bye-bye. - Bye.
Teachers, I'll go now. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Lao Lu, I didn't drive today.
Send me home.
Sure. Let's get something to eat first. I'm hungry.
Didn't you just say you wouldn't eat?
Cut the nonsense.
What's wrong with you and your intern?
The world is really small.
Your little brother's ex-girlfriend turns out to be your new intern.
I don't want this intern.
Manager Jiang urged me to take her on.
Young people in relationships, it's normal for them to get together and break up.
It's not like she broke up with you. What does it have to do with you?
My younger brother's accident had a big effect on me.
It took me several years to get over it.
Now, there's someone that reminds me of things in the past. Shouldn't I be annoyed?
You're a grown man.
Even if you're annoyed, you shouldn't be making it difficult for a girl.
Boss, I want the special beef noodle
with all the works.
One can't help but reminisce.
Don't you dare--
- Miss. Miss. - Hey!
Leader Luo, why are you here?
Are you eating?
I'm grabbing a bite with Lao Lu.
Let's eat together.
- It's okay, I'm just going to have this. - It's fine, it's fine!
Please bring this over in a bit.
Come. Come. Come. Sit. Sit. Sit.
Sit.
Please help yourself. Lao Lu, your treat.
Here, let me help you.
No need. I'll do it.
Have a little bite. Have a drink, too.
No, it's fine.
Quite particular.
I can tell you're from a rich family.
No, I'm just casually cleaning it.
Lao Lu!
Teacher Lu, for future convenience can I add you on WeChat?
Calling my number will do.
What era is this? Who still makes phone calls?
Here, add it.
What's wrong, Leader Luo?
Nothing. Nothing.
Boss, hurry!
The bill.
Don't pay yet, I still haven't eaten.
Hello, Beishen.
Hello, Xiao Chu. I'm heading over there right now. You have to wait for me.
Beishen, I'm already engaged to Yunxiao.
Don't call me anymore.
Xiao Chu, I know you're being forced to marry.
I know you still have me in your heart.
Beishen,
we shouldn't see each other from now on.
Why don't we take a photo?
Yes, come! Let's take a photo.
Come, come! Let's take a photo.
Chu. Xiao Chu!
Leader Luo.
This is Xiao Xue's previous room.
I haven't returned her room.
I thought she would come back.
When was the last time you saw Xiao Xue?
The day before yesterday afternoon, I accompanied her during rehearsal.
After rehearsal, I left.
After that, I hadn't seen her.
What time did Xiao Xue leave the hotel?
I'm not really sure about the exact time.
I remember when I came and knocked on her door last night, she was already gone.
Then I called her phone and she didn't pick up.
Last night, there was a performance. I kept calling her, but she never picked up.
Only then did I know how serious the situation was.
- Did anything unusual happen during her last rehearsal? - No.
Do you know if there's someone she's had a bad relationship with recently?
Xiao Xue is naturally very kind
and courteous to others.
She's never argued with anyone.
Where is Xiao Xue's cello?
She might have taken it with her.
The cello is very important to her. She frequently carried it with her.
- Do the cameras work? - Yes.
If there are visitors, they need to register in. Correct?
Of course, it's mandatory.
General Manager, after Xiao Xue left, aside from us,
has anybody else come to see the room?
No, the guest turned on the "do not disturb" light.
So nobody would've come in and cleaned.
I do not have the keycard for this room.
There weren't any signs of a fight in the room. It might not be the first site of the crime.
The bedroom didn't seem like anyone else had stayed.
But we should check to see if the fingerprints match first.
Go check the hotel camera recordings for March 2nd.
"The body of cellist Xiao Xue was found on Mt. Nan."
"The case is currently under investigation."
The time is 4:21 p.m.
It's true that she took her cello with her.
Her mood isn't great.
She's walking with her head down. She is distressed.
[Police]
Hello, Mr. Meng. I am Luo Chi from the Crime Unit.
Hello.
We're looking to discuss some things with you.
Are you Xiao Xue's assistant, Meng Jian?
Yes. Yes, I am.
What was Xiao Xue doing the day before her disappearance?
The day before...
that should be March 2nd.
That afternoon at 1:30 p.m., Xue Jie had a fan meeting.
Greetings "Snowballs," we've kept you waiting long enough.
Next, let's invite our headliner today, Xiao Xue.
Today, I'm very grateful to everybody who showed up to my fan meeting.
Thank you, everyone.
I hope I can see everyone here today at tomorrow's
official concert with your bright smiles.
Lastly, I want to say, I love you all.
See you again at the concert.
Xiao Xue? Xiao Xue?
But Xue Jie's mood didn't seem really good that day.
The fan meeting was supposed to last an hour, but it ended very quickly.
Xue Jie, you seem very tired.
You should get some rest and rehearse later.
Go take a 15-minute break, don't bother me.
Okay.
I didn't think that when I came back from using the restroom,
I heard some people arguing inside the dressing room.
I immediately rushed to see what was happening.
It was an anti-fan who was harassing Xue Jie.
I quickly called security.
They came in and escorted her out.
Xue Jie, are you okay?
You should probably rest some more.
Rehearse, I need to continue rehearsing.
This morning, there was an anti-fan,
especially frightening, who said she has animosity toward Xue Jie.
They even fought. Thankfully, security was called.
Quite scary... Seems like there are enemies.
Xiao Xue, rest a bit first then start practicing again.
Here, take a sip of water.
No water! No more practice.
Okay. Okay. We won't practice anymore.
Leader Luo, about the issue concerning Xiao Xue's rehearsal times before leaving the hotel,
the statements given by the assistant and the manager weren't the same.
It might be because they needed to protect Xiao Xue's image.
They're deliberately hiding the negative details.
Then, the anti-fan who had an argument with Xiao Xue in the room could possibly be a key suspect.
Go check on it. Ask the hotel security for the information.
Okay.
Meng Meng, come over here for a moment.
Coming.
Leader Luo, I just checked Xiao Xue's phone. From March 2nd,
all the missed calls were from the manager.
There were also some messages sent, but Xiao Xue never replied to them.
Other than that, there isn't any unusual activity.
- You can keep working. - Okay.
Is it this person?
Yes. It's her.
Did you call the police at that time?
No,
she looked like a student.
After recording her student ID, we scolded her and then let her go.
[Police Station]
What is your name?
Gu Si.
How old are you?
21 years old.
- Profession? - Third-year student at Pinghai Arts Institute.
March 2nd, 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., where were you?
I was at Pinghai International Hotel attending Xiao Xue's fan meeting.
- Are you Xiao Xue's fan? - Yes.
After the fan meeting ending, where did you go?
I... I left.
You didn't leave. You went to Xiao Xue's dressing room.
I did go to Xiao Xue's room, but I just wanted her autograph.
I don't know why she suddenly got mad, so I argued with her for a bit.
Is that right?
What you said compared to what we know aren't the same.
Tell me! Are you seeing him again?
Who do you think you are? Why would I tell you?
What nonsense are you talking about?
- I'm saying you're the mistress. - Say it again.
- I'm saying that you're shameless. - Get out!
- Slut!. - You conniving bitch, you're the shameless one! - You're a shameless mistress! - You're shameless!
Hurry up and send someone here.
- What kind of person are you? You dare hit me? - Let me tell you, Xiao Xue. - Get out, get out!
Go!
Get out! Please leave! Security!
Shameless!
Take her away! Quickly!
I'm going to tear you to pieces.
- Get out! - Xiao Xue, you're shameless!
Yes, I found her that day to argue with her.
But I was angry at the moment, and I said some unreasonable things.
I couldn't have possibly killed her.
After you and Xiao Xue finished arguing, where did you go that night?
- I was at home. -The entire night?
- Yes, the entire night. - Didn't leave at all?
No.
- Who can prove it? - My older sister.
We need to use your phone.
What you said, we need to verify.
Teacher Lu, sorry. I didn't sleep well last night.
Working in our field is like that.
When it becomes busy, there are no days of rest.
I advise you to withdraw early.
I'm fine; I'm not tired.
If you aren't tired, then help me with some errands.
Send this document to Leader Luo.
Okay.
Hello? Yes,
I am.
What? I'll head over right now.
Teacher Lu, I'm sorry. My sister is at the police station, I must go there.
- Leader Luo. - This is Gu Si's phone.
Check the calls from the evening of March 2nd.
Also, check to see if there are any men she hung out with recently.
Okay, I'll check it right now.
Leader Luo!
What's wrong with Gu Si?
Gu Si's your little sister?
Yes. What's wrong with her?
Nothing much.
Gu Si is a person that is related to Xiao Xue's case. We asked her to come to ask her some things.
Xiao Xue? What relationship does she have with Xiao Xue?
Don't be so anxious.
We are only looking for her assistance in the investigation. We didn't say she's a suspect.
I understand. The life of a person is important.
I fully support her to help you investigate.
Things that shouldn't be asked, I will not ask.
But, Leader Luo, if there isn't any more evidence for you to accuse her,
I want to take her home immediately.
Okay. You are the proof.
Me?
Do you know if there are any men Gu Si has been dating recently?
Dating?
She never told me she had a boyfriend.
