These lotuses are as big as chariot wheels
Blue radiates from blue light, Yellow from yellow light,
Red originates from red light, white germinates from white light,
And all are very fragrant, Sariputra,
Why don’t we find a real Buddhist
Free, free, free
A-hai
Do you have money?
No
I know all the sutras
Just let me cite them
That should be about enough. That’s enough
Not yet
For this sutra, you need to read all the chapters
This is for charity
This is the best way to give back to uncle Gao
Clean his Karma
I heard that in the Final 7 days of the funeral
The departed will return
That should be the First 7 days
Doesn’t matter if it’s First or Last
If you can see it, then it’s Lucky 7
I wonder, when they do come back
Will they speak or laugh
-Will they talk -Of course they talk
Talk too much
How do you know?
Could it be
You want to see ghosts too
To have the same interests as your colleague
Is very good
Great
Have you started to look for a job?
I’ve sent out my resumes
But no replies for an interview
I’m a professional
And also uncle Gao’s last disciple
Let me stay and help you
I told you already
I’m going to shut down this funeral service
In the land of the Buddha, take joy in your actions
Good morning, Senior
Senior, this is today’s case
What does the on-site investigation report say?
It says, death by charcoal burning
Who said that?
Detectives
That’s all
Yes
Then what do I need you for?
What do we need forensic doctors for?
Senior
I’m sorry. I’ll leave the report here
You’ll get used to it
She’s usually like this?
Since I’ve been working with her
She’s always like this
No wonder you told me to go
You’re the white lab rat
So unlucky
I didn’t order this
On the house
Thank you
How is it? Good?
If it’s not good, it’s okay too
Because it’s my first time making it
It’s okay
It’s not bad
Just a little too sweet
You can try adding less sugar next time
Do you usually come alone?
I need to come alone
Usually there are a lot of friends
Too many friends, too many complications
So I like to find a place to hide out
Just enjoy the quiet
Then when you come in the future
If there are customers that want to come in
I’ll just ask them to leave
So no one can find you
Have you been working here long?
Yup, for a while now
So are you trying to become
A master baker?
Cakes are just a hobby
I have other things that I want to do
What other things?
If you don’t want to tell me
It’s okay
No pressure
No, that’s fine
Actually, I’m a computer engineering grad
Computer engineering?
Sounds complicated
So you’re good at fixing computers and inputting data?
As long as it has something to do with computers,
You won’t go wrong asking me.
Then in the future,
If I have any questions about computers,
Can I ask you?
Anytime
As long as you have time,
You can come find me anytime
But I’m usually very busy
Then, how about this
We can add each other’s LINE accounts
Sure
Enjoy your cake
I’ll go get my LINE ready
Why are you here?
This place is close to the morgue
I came here to eat
Excuse me, I’ll have the same as her, rice noodle soup
Sure, coming right up
And you?
Worked until now?
Funeral servicing. I have zero interest for it
I’m going to close it after a while
No interest?
Then why did you take on the job
It’s my father’s company
He passed away, so I had to come back to help
I had my own job, okay.
What did you do before?
Here, rice noodle soup
That was quick
Well
Loan company for the people
Mob is the mob
A loan company
Fine, it’s not as amazing as being in forensic medicine
Forensic doctor still eats at the same table as you
A career is not judged on whether it’s expensive or cheap
The point is doing it the right way
I believe your dad hopes you can
Take over the funeral services business
Did my father come to you in a dream?
Or can you talk to spirits?
I don’t believe in parapsychology
I’m telling you, don’t be so sure of yourself
Hello
Sure, no problem I’ll be there in a bit
Excuse me, can you please call me a cab?
It’s quite hard to get a cab around here
You might have to wait a while
You haven’t been on a scooter in a while right?
But let me tell you,
Scooter is much faster. There are a lot of little alleys here
That only I know about. I’m a local of this area
What did you say?
I can’t hear you
Up there
It’s just up there on the right
-Here -Right
A-hai
-Thank you -I was just about to call you
You’re here too?
How come you came with her?
I bumped into her when I was eating
So I gave her a lift over
Let’s go, come inside
Go inside, what for?
Take care of the corpse
Brother Zhong, I don’t have any interest
Don’t ask me to do it anymore
If you don’t do it now
Where am I going to find someone else?
There are a ton of funeral services out there
I don’t know any of them
I really don’t have any interest in this. No
Hurry up, please. Come inside
No
I didn’t bring anything with me
Get up
Your dad always put everything under the seat
Let’s go. Hurry, let’s go
Come, hurry up
Wait a sec
-Come on -Hang on, wait
Park it for him, handle it for him please
My scooter, wait
He’ll take care of it, let’s go
You’re so lucky
Last time was a building jumper. This time a homicide murder
Being a police officer for so long, I’ve never seen anything so brutal
Two of them
Hurry. Come, come inside
Wear gloves
Gloves
They’re inside
Sir, you are?
One of us
Upstairs
Brother Zhong
The deceased are a couple
The man’s name is Li Meng-yin
-The woman’s name is Tsai Rei-yun -Give him some shoe covers
The police received a call at three in the morning
Arriving on the scene
Discovered the two of them dead in the bedroom
What is it?
Did you notice something?
Both bodies had multiple knife cuts
They probably died from loss of blood
Was there damage to the doors or windows?
None at all
The windows were open
Do we know what the murder weapon was?
According to the size and depth of the scars,
It points to a fruit knife or a pocket knife
But this hasn’t been confirmed yet
According to the evidence found on the scene
The deceased were here
When they were murdered
This is the main crime scene
The deceased relationships
And bank and money records
The deceased also has a daughter
Called Li Ning-er
She was first one to arrive on the scene after the incident
Where is she?
She also has a twin named Li Chiao-er
But after the incident occurred
She hasn’t shown up
You are their daughter?
Do you have a sister named Li Chiao-er?
When was the last time you saw her?
When I left this morning, She was still here
Do you want to give her a call?
Did anyone come to your house lately
Or had any arguments with your parents?
I don’t know
Brother Zhong
I think she’s still quite in shock
And can’t really answer much now
Maybe let her rest a while
Take her back to the women’s police quarters to rest
Wait until she’s more relaxed, then take her written statement
Yes sir
Miss Li
This way please
You’re taking care of the bodies today
That Zhong
Hurry up
Tsai Rei-yun, Mrs., 56 years old
Entire body consists of 6 puncture wounds
All concentrated on the chest and abdomen region
Each scar measures over 4 centimeters deep
Indications point to a surprise attack
The bodies of Li Meng-yin and Tsai Rei-yun
Don’t show many defensive wounds
According to the data collected
The knife used was very sharp
Thickness 0.1 centimeters
The length of blade was over 4 centimeters
It’s a very rare knife
According to the changes in the corpse
Both victim’s time of death
Was between 1am and 2am
Also, Tsai Rei-yun’s medication pouch was found on the scene
Inside was found clinically prescribed medication for depression
Fluoxetine the “anti-depressant” for all
Tsai Rei-yun was probably suffering from depression
Looking at the angle of the scars
The murderer’s motive to kill was very strong
And you?
I asked the neighbors
There were no suspicious persons that evening
That came or left the Li’s place
The Li’s have been living there for over 20 years
But didn’t interact with the neighbors too much
Their two daughters
Li Ning-er and Li Chiao-er
Are 22 years old this year
Li Ning-er just graduated
Li Chiao-er doesn’t go out much
Another thing that’s kind of odd
I went to look up Li Chiao-er’s files
Besides a birth certificate record,
She has no other medical or school records
At least she went to junior high didn’t she?
I checked
There’s no record of her at all
No medical or school records
Nowhere to be found after the incident
Brother Zhong
Could it be possible she was kept at home on purpose?
Some parents will lock up their kids
Kind of like locking up a dog
Go down to the social welfare department to confirm
Whether there have been any child abuse records filed
I’ll go find my secret weapon
Secret weapon?
What secret weapon?
Let me tell you,
My studio’s finally completed
Really?
Congratulations
So when are you going to open up
Open up, no
Open for business, when is your grand opening?
Those of us that freelance
Don’t really have an opening
Oh yeah
Then I’ll come check it out with my boyfriend
Boyfriend?
You have a boyfriend?
-Yes -Who
The guy I told you about last time
Coffee cake prince
Wait
What attracted you to him?
What do you like about him?
He’s good looking
Also every time I go there
He’s really sweet and
Makes different flavored cakes for me
Wait, so you’re saying
If someone gives you cake
You will go out with him?
Then if I go and buy you cake now. You will go out with me?
No
You know that I’m really into the feeling that someone gives me
He’s good looking and very sweet
We can talk very easily
What?
Are you mad?
Didn’t you say you will always be with me?
I am with you
You call and I’m here with you
I pushed off all my other appointments
I will always be here
I’m going to meet my boyfriend in a bit
To see a movie
I need to leave
Ok
Bye bye
For you
My business card
I said you would get the first one
I’ll keep it for sure
Gotta go
Li Ning-er
Chiao-er
-Where did you go? -I went to my friends’ place
Mom and dad are dead why don’t you come home?
With Mom and Dad dead
We’re more free
Don’t need to be nervous all the time
Nervous about this and that
What happened that night anyway?
Chiao-er
Where are you go?
Li Ning-er
I’m the forensic doctor, Sheng-yin
I met you at your house
Do you remember?
How are you?
What are you doing here?
I don’t want to stay at the women police quarters
So where are you going to go?
Relatives or friend’s place?
Our family’s not close to any relatives
Friends
I’ll figure something out myself
Thank you
Li Ning-er
This is the place that our forensics team usually stays
when we’re away on business
You should just stay here for a while
Thank you for finding a place for me to stay
Don’t worry about the money
I’ve taken care of it already
Thank you
You’re welcome
Do you know Xiao-fen?
Who?
Sheng Wei-fen
I know her, she’s my college schoolmate
Have you spoken to each other lately?
No
I don’t know her that well
Then
Would you know where she lives?
I don’t know
But I think she’s been staying
With my classmate Chen Rou-an
Could you give me her contact information?
You are Sheng Wei-fen’s
I’m her older sister
I’m sorry, I didn’t know she had a sister
Sisters from the same father but different mothers
So we don’t see much of each other
I see
You seem like a very good sister
You
You have a twin older sister don’t you?
Named Li Chiao-er
That’s right
But my sister and I have completely different personalities
She has a very strong personality
Likes to protect me
So she often goes overboard
I have something to take care of, I need to leave now
Could I ask you
To take me to see Chen Rou-an tomorrow?
Of course
Then get some rest
Thank you
A-hai
I called you but you didn’t answer
I called many times
Brother Zhong
Do I look like I’m joking?
I’m not taking over the family business
Don’t keep asking me to go to those weird places
Come on, go with me to the crime scene
I’m not the police. What am I going there for?
Your dad and I used to work this way before too
I’m not him
And the case is stuck now
The bonus for solving it just went up
I’ll share it with you
That’s not the issue
The same thing with the Liao Yi-xin case, you told me about it
So that I could solve the case
It wasn’t because of any effort on my part
It’s because I was possessed
Fine, I’ll tell you
When I took a bullet last time
I started being able to see ghosts and spirts
Liao Yi-xin came back to find me
Told me that I needed to help her
Why would I want to find trouble on my own?
Furthermore, even if I can really see “them”
Who’s going to believe such a ridiculous thing?
I believe you
I saw you grow up. Why wouldn’t I believe you?
Aren’t we police the same?
When we are stuck with a case. We pray to the gods for help
It’s because I believe in you. That’s why I came looking for you
You really believe me?
I really do believe you
Help me
Fine
Let’s go
Get in the car
Get in the car, hurry up
Don’t ever say, I don’t treat you well
Got this at the big temple
Wearing this won’t help
Wearing it is better than not wearing it
Look at me
You’re scared too
Get out
Let’s go
Let’s go, you
Are you seeing anything?
Nope
Nothing at all
Anything?
Anything at all?
Nothing
A normal girl
With no medical or school records
Doesn’t have a cell phone
Is that possible?
Who?
Li Chiao-er
This should be the two girls
She wasn’t held against her will at home
Why aren’t there any records?
Everyone gets sick, everytime you see the doctor, there’s a record
The neighbors say they hardly see her
The day of the incident, she disappeared
Was it Li Chiao-er that killed her parents?
A mystery
What are you doing?
I hear something
Don’t scare me
Are you really the police?
The police are scared of ghosts too
Wait for me
This probably used to be their baby room
What do you see?
Standing over there
How many?
One
Hey
Disappeared?
Go get it back
That’s was a powerful charm
I prayed for it myself
Go
Hurry up
Do you hear that?
No
A baby crying
It’s a cat
No
Why are you following me?
I’m scared
Ashes?
It’s a person
Don’t run
Stand still
Don’t run
If you run, I’ll shoot
You’re Li Chiao-er
Why haven’t you contacted us these past few days?
If someone came into your house to kill people
Would you have the guts to come back?
When your parents were killed. Where were you?
I wasn’t home then
Why are there no medical or school records of you?
Because since I was little, I’ve been locked up
Why?
How should I know?
Ask my psycho parents
They watch every little thing I do
Really disgusting
You wait here
In a little bit, my colleague will take you back to get your statement
Watch Li Chiao-er
I’m heading back to get these things analyzed
Yes, understood
Let’s go
You bring it
Haven’t had such a scary experience before
When I was with your dad
I never once encountered anything like this
I know your father was a good, dedicated
And ran a first-class funeral service
No matter if it was an unidentified death, a drowning victim
Sometimes the bodies would be so bloated
-He took every case -I don’t want to hear about my dad
Why are you like this kid?
Your dad did everything for you
Thank god I have a good daughter
Wait for me here, I’ll go get the car
Find something to put it in
It’s so late now. Why are you screaming?
Didn’t I ask you to hang on to it?
What?
Is everything okay?
Didn’t I ask you to watch Li Chiao-er? What are you doing outside?
Hurry up, get inside
Why are you screaming so loudly?
Why are you so angry?
I didn’t do it on purpose
Li Chiao-er
Dammit
The Li residence murder case from the other day
The prime suspect is
The Li’s other daughter, Li Chiao-er
Her current whereabouts are unknown
Was she kidnapped or was she involved
The police are still looking into this
And have all their resources invested in finding her
This is the current report from your reporter at this time
Living in such a nice place
Such a big room
Do you know that the police are all looking for you?
I know
When I went home just now
I saw the police there too
Home?
What did you go home for?
Looking for something
But it was too late
When I got there. The police were already there
Then what happened?
Didn’t matter
Anyway, I ran out of there very quickly
So the police are probably just searching around the house
So they
Won’t find me
Sorry
For coming to see you so late
Can I ask you to
Take me to find Chen Rou-an now?
Right now?
Yes
I’m still a worried about Xiao-fen
Older sister caring for her younger sister
That’s very normal
One is a psychic, the other an idiot
Who’s did I anger?
-This piece, here this piece -Right, that’s right
If someone upstairs finds out I’m going to blame you for sure
Do you hear me!
Brother Zhong, I’m a kind and good civilian
You, good?
If you’re good, then who’s the bad guy?
Don’t be so angry
A-guang, are you okay?
I’m fine
Brother Zhong, just calm down okay
Do you have anything cold to drink at home?
Yes I have some in the refrigerator. Let me go get it
-Ok, I’ll come with you -I
I think it’s over there
You don’t keep in touch with her?
No
Should be this door
Which floor?
I don’t know
Li Ning-er, what are you doing here?
I came to look for Sheng Wei-fen
Sheng Wei-fen?
This is Sheng Wei-fen’s older sister
How are you? I’m Sheng Wei-fen’s sister
Is she home?
I don’t know how long it’s been since she came home
Her things are still upstairs
Where did she go?
How should I know? Probably with her boyfriend
These are her things. You want to take them?
If not, I’m just going to throw them out
I’m sorry
Where does her boyfriend live?
Aren’t you her sister?
Why are you asking me?
Thanks
What
This
What is this?
This!
You guys pick what you want
Ok
What is that?
Finger
This belongs to a drowning victim
My dad said the body’s been in the water too long
So the whole body just decayed away
So he cut off the skin of the finger
Like this
Then put it on his own hand
To get a fingerprint for ID
That’s so disgusting
I want to go home
Me too
Aren’t you too calm?
Not really
I remember this very well
It’s a habit of my dad’s
Habit?
Collecting body parts of corpses?
No
Just some drowning victims
Their fingerprints are destroyed by being in the water
If you take a knife and cut out their fingerprint
Then put it on your own finger
To make a fingerprint
Shouldn’t that
Be kept in the evidence locker?
They didn’t have those practices back then
Just put it wherever there’s room for it
Let me tell you, when I had classmates over to my house
Afterwards they would start spreading rumors at school
Saying we hid corpses at home
But to me these things are kind of cool
Kind of like those little
Russian dolls that you put over your fingers
Layer after layer. You know what saying?
You know those Russian dolls I’m talking about?
When you open it up, there’s a smaller one inside?
Layer after layer
Right
Did you have a childhood?
You didn’t, I’m
A-hai, where are you going?
Slow down, you
Can you try to be quiet
What are you doing?
Layer after layer
I knew something was wrong with this box
What is it?
Let me ask you, do you have any
Li Ning-er photos from their house
In the evidence files?
Of course, why?
Show me
What are you trying to find?
This
Are you joking
Usually, twins will have something like this that’s the same
But usually different colors to differentiate each other
So what are you trying to say? The ashes we found Is Li Chiao-er?
That’s impossible
Then who’s the Li Chiao-er we met?
I believe it’s Li Ning-er posing as her sister
You really know how make up a story
You better not be screwing me around I’m telling you
Brother Zhong, I’m being serious
I also have friends that are twins they both wear the same bracelet
I believe A-hai’s judgement is right
Last time, with Liao Yi-xin, you believed me
Do you believe me this time?
From the very beginning it was only Li Ning-er
Don’t you have Li Ning-er’s cell phone?
Yes, call her
It’s turned off
Call the women’s police quarters
Hello
Does Li Ning-er live there with you now?
Forensics doctor?
You’re saying you saw the hard to get along forensic doctor?
She took Li Ning-er somewhere?
I’m sorry
Asking you to come out, this late at night
And to come with me
It’s no problem
It’s just that we don’t know where Sheng Wei-fen is still
Yeah
She’s like that
Often disappears and seldom stays in contact
Excuse, I need to take this call
Hello
Sheng-yin, this is Brother Zhong
Are you with Li Ning-er now?
I’m suspecting that Li Ning-er and Li Chiao-er are the same person
Where are you now?
I’m driving now
I’ll call you back later
Hello
You and your twin sister
have such different personalities
Do you have much to talk about usually?
Sure
Although she’s very tough
She’s really good to me
She’s a good sister
You are too
Your family’s going through this ordeal now
Have you contacted her
Not yet
Sometimes she seems very irresponsible
Just does whatever she wants
Li Ning-er
I don’t know if you’re pretending
Or you’re being serious
Your older sister, Li Chiao-er
Is just something you imagined right?
Your parents are dead why don’t you come home?
What really happened that night?
Chiao-er
-Where did you go? -Li Ning-er
Do you know that the police are all looking for you?
I know
When I went home earlier
I saw the police
I was a little worried about Xiao-fen
Older sister caring for her younger sister
That’s very normal
Your older sister, Li Chiao-er is to protect yourself
She’s made up
I don’t understand what you’re saying
What you’re doing now is wrong
You have to stop doing what you’ve been doing
I want to get out
Li Ning-er
Tell the truth
It’s not too late
