Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Original Sinners Team @ Viki.com
I'll come and see you on Friday. In the meantime, regardless of who interrogates you, don't talk too much.
Make any calls you want.
To your parents, your friends, anyone you want.
Even to your dead husband, tell him that "I couldn't take the beating anymore, I am sorry I killed you this time."
"Sorry, let's be together in the next life." Anything is fine.
But keep in mind.
Don't tell these people anything about the case. Got it?
All right. I'll come and see you on Friday.
[Monitoring Room]
Tell your client.
Even if she doesn't tell us where she hid the body, we can still have her convicted.
At a minimum, for life.
If she tells us where it is, considering her long exposure to domestic violence,
I promise the sentence will only be ten years maximum.
Where is her husband's body?
Go ask her.
Or do you even want to interrogate the lawyer?
Go back and tell the defendant.
She must give me at least another ¥30,000!
Forget it, forget it. I don't want it anymore.
Defendant Chi Zhen found not guilty for the crime of concealing evidence.
Also, not guilty for the crime of criminal harboring.
Found guilty of desecrating a corpse.
But as a lawyer for the case, based on lawyer immunity doctrine,
his penalty is exempt.
The defendant is condemned to permanent disbarment as a lawyer.
You may suspend me for two, even three years.
But why are you disbarring me? This is my career!

[Episode 2]
Inside.
Careful.
Mr. Chen.
Sit down.
I saw Lily once.
That young woman was quite smart.
The first time she saw me,
she immediately called me "Mr. Chen."
Such a clever young lady.
I heard she died in your hands.
Maybe she offended someone and got killed for it.
I asked Brother Tong about this matter.
Should we report it to the police? Or something else?
Brother Tong asked me to come and ask for your advice.
Don't report it.
Don't look for someone to start an investigation.
Lily's death is a small matter.
I think...
there's someone behind this, stirring things up.
Keep your eyes open for me.
You help me look into.
I can't investigate.
You know that I am trained as a lawyer.
I can only help people get released, I don't know how to catch them.
Some people are just like these fish.
They think they're smart.
Only take the bait but not willing to bite the hook.
Then my efforts are wasted.
You...
You've worked in my company for two years
You've enjoyed profits from me for two years.
I've been good to you, haven't I?
If you can't find the killer,
you'll pay back for Lily's life.
Okay.
I'll figure out a way to find the person, all right?
How long do you need?
Fifteen days.
Ten days.
Five days. Are five days okay?
Within five days,
if you still can't find Lily's killer, you'll exchange with your own life.
I'm willing to let you go,
you still won't leave.
Didn't you keep nagging me to leave?
Why did you call me back?
This is your cell phone.
In the next few days, I will try to find you a more suitable job.
Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?
Aren't you close to Lily?
Does she have any relatives?
She has a grandma.
Take me to see her.
I only went once.
That's all right. We will look around.
All right?
Then, where's my money?
I got you back so we could find the money together.
Lily also owes me money. We will look for it together.
But during this period of time, every time I need you,
you must come when I call. Understand?
Go get me a cup of tea.
Is this even the place? We've already made three circles back and forth.
I'm sure, I'm sure. This is definitely the place.
It's near here.
Did you even come here?
I came. It's just...
I forgot.
What are you doing?
What "what am I doing?"
That's the money that Lily owes the nightclub.
But this... Isn't it intended to be for her grandmother?
Are you coming or not?
Get out then. Go back.
Get out of the car.
Then, what about my money?
We'll see when we find the perpetrator.
Where?
Here.
- Here? - Right.
Here.
Let's go.
Grandmother! Grandmother?
Where are Lily's parents?
She has none.
Her father died over ten years ago.
Her mother remarried early on.
It's Lily's grandmother who has raised her all these years.
Does Lily's grandmother know that we are her friends?
She knows. She recognizes me.
Didn't I say I've come here before?
Thank you, Grandmother.
- Thanks. - Drink some water.
Sit down.
Grandmother, we just wanted to tell you...
Grandmother... Grandmother...
Lily has died.
Grandmother can't hear.
Why didn't you mention that earlier?
I'll say it louder.
This...
Oh, never mind. I can't figure out how to say it. You tell her.
I'm also unable to say it.
Grandma was in her 60's when started raising Lily.
Now she is in her 80's.
Sister Lily said Grandma depended on Lily to keep living.
Lily...
has flown to America.
She's gone to America.
Lily... she's gone to America?
Yes, she went to America.
She went to America?
America... Oh yes, that's right.
- That's good! - She went there to study.
- Go to school? - Very good.
Definitely, very good!
She mentioned she would give you...
She told me to give you this money.
Lily wants to give you this money.
I don't want it. I still have some.
She gave it to you, keep it.
Keep it.
- Filial to you. - Right.
There's a lot.
Lily said she'll call you often.
She's gonna call you.
Call me...
Lily also said...
Uh... I have nothing left to say. Go ahead and say a few more things.
She... She said you shouldn't worry.
She's doing well in America... There's no need to worry.
Studying there is probably going to take awhile. There's no guarantee.
So you don't need to worry about her. She's doing fine.
She earned all this money for you.
Don't worry.
- She said a few years? - Right.
Lily was obedient ever since she was young.
She was always a hardworking student. She's so angelic.
Yes... Yes... Lily really is diligent.
It's great that she has such a good friend like you.
I am also happy to have her as my elder sister. It's my honor.
If there's any free time in your schedule, I'll take you to go and find her. Okay?
- Don't worry, all right? - Okay.
What-cha-ma-call-it. I... am going back to the car.
You should also leave soon. Don't stay here for lunch. I'll wait for you at the car.
All right.
He's leaving?
It's all right. Let us chat a little bit more.
Okay.
Let's go.
What's wrong?
- What are you thinking about? - Not much.
Let's go.
[2:01 p.m.]
[Renai Hospital]
[3:00 p.m.]
[Renai Hospital]
[4:06 p.m.]
[Liu Yaping's home]
[4:45 p.m.]
Senior, what special day is today? An upgrade for lunch?
Eat this quickly. Save the skewers.
Try it.
- Something good to eat? - Finished examining?
That... second body,
also, does not have evidence of metal fragments.
Basically, it's either this kind, that kind,
or this kind.
There weren't any wooden shards in the wounds.
I can infer it's neither wooden nor bamboo skewers.
Old Shi, we are eating. Can you not talk about dead bodies? [Old = term of endearment for older person.]
It's not wood or bamboo or iron skewers. So what else then?
Stainless steel or painted over.
That one you are holding is similar.
Aren't you done yet?
I am grossed out.
Then stop eating.
Take a look at this.
Today, I went from Renai Hospital to Liu Yaping's home. There are three routes.
First one, from Inner Ring.
Inner Ring Road looks the closest.
But that's a high traffic area. Easily jammed in traffic.
Another way is to avoid the Inner Ring Road, go directly from below...
the entire way.
- It's very winding. - Winding.
The road is also very narrow. The third route.
The least crowded but needs to make a big detour.
Get on the highway.
This route also goes to Liu Yaping's home.
With all three routes, based on Liu Yaping's usual habits,
regardless of which one she takes,
she wouldn't have gotten out of the car on her way home.
What do you mean?
I am saying that the perpetrator knew Liu Yaping and also, was inside the car.
The killer is not a sociopath?
No. To us, I think that is good news.
The killer is not a sociopath; therefore, he has sufficient motive.
If he has motive then we can find him.
The killer is known to Liu Yaping, as well to Duo La.
[Hua City Nursing Home]
How's my mom lately?
The Elder Madam is getting more and more excessive.
Good morning!
Did you have a hamburger today?
It tastes terrible.
Today, we had curry chili prawns.
The first bowl, she said there was too much curry.
We made another one, she said there was too much chili.
The third bowl, I didn't put any curry or chili.
It's still not good enough. She dislikes my cooking.
I remade one dish three times. When I say anything disagreeable to her,
she immediately thinks people want to harm her.
I am the only one willing, not even for an extravagant wage.
I have to wait upon her for twenty-fours hours a day.
Why do I need you ?
Nurse Ma, it's because you have a good heart. Right?
When you take care of her,
please be tolerant. Okay, I'm going to see her.
Mom!
Mom, what are you looking for?
Your sister's notification letter is missing a corner.
Because of that thing... you won't go out.
Stop looking, okay?
Look what I bought for you: osmanthus jelly.
- Come. - I'll look again.
I clearly remember that I'd put it here.
Usually, you don't even go out. Where could it be?
First, throw this away. Get up, get up,
Slowly...
Wait, wait.
- Do your legs hurt? Are you all right? - I'm fine.
Come. I'll help you look for it later, okay? Sit here.
I'm telling you.
It's not just a matter of a corner,
on it is your sister's name.
In the future who will know
that this acceptance notification letter belongs to your sister,
to Zhi Wen?
In a bit, I'll look for it. Okay?
[(Univ)ersity of Vienna] [(Acc)eptance letter] [12 August 1990]
Something heavy on your mind?
No.
If you were happy you wouldn't come here.
I just missed you.
I'm telling you. A few days ago,
one colleague of mine left us.
I wanted to go see her family, see who she left behind.
I found out that she only had a grandmother.
She was both hard of hearing and short-sighted.
Whatever I said she couldn't hear.
Seeing her that way, I didn't know
whether I should tell her that her granddaughter died.
Wait until the killer is found before you tell her.
Your sister has been dead for over twenty years.
The police investigated for over ten years,
before they found the murderer.
For those ten years, I didn't know how to live.
I really couldn't go on.
Your sister had died so pointlessly.
Manager Chi, we can't find an investigator.
In Hua City, there are only a very few working privately,
but they refused as soon as they heard it's a homicide.
Doesn't matter. I'll investigate it.
What are you saying?
I said, about finding Lily's killer,
I'll investigate it.
Do you see?
It's that blue slops tank there.
Duo La's mother asked me a lot of times,
"Where was Duo La's body found?"
What should I tell her?
Should I say, "Your daughter's body was put in a slops tank."
"The next day, it was thrown away to feed pigs
and it was found in the pigsty."
I couldn't tell her.
Chief Ju once told me: During the investigation, if you find yourself at a bottleneck,
go back to the crime scene and look,
and think how the victim died,
then tell yourself not to give up.
You have to give the victim an answer.
Hey, what are you doing? Don't run!
What are you doing? You got the wrong guy!
Hua City Police, you're under suspicion of involvement in a serial murder case.
Officer, I won money at Mah Jong. Is that a crime?
Why did you chase after them?
Because they ran.
If you hadn't yelled would they have run?
Wait till they report you.
Officer Lu, have a cup of tea.
- Thank you. I'll ask you a few questions. - All right.
Does your wife usually drive herself to work?
Yes. We only have one car in the family.
She was the one who usually took it most of the time.
In the neighborhood,
is there any coworker living nearby who carpools with her?
No.
Why?
Did the incident occur on the way?
Did she die in the car?
No.
Where did your wife usually go, aside from the hospital?
She didn't go anywhere.
Only on the weekends, I'd take her to George Town.
Where?
To that Artists' Park.
I went once. All they sell there are artistic paintings
and some art deco designed by artists.
Anyway, I don't understand those things.
Most of the time she went inside alone,
I waited for her in the cafe at the entrance.
Can I see what she bought?
She never bought anything.
Maybe she just went with the idea of a stroll in a park.
She only looked, but she usually never bought.
Okay. Thank you.
Have the rice soup.
Is it good? Have some more.
♫ Happy birthday to you ♫
♫ Happy birthday to dinosaur ♫
♫ Happy birthday to you ♫
Happy birthday!
- No! - Sunny-Side Up... (Sunny-Side Up: A term used for fried eggs)
Ooh, this is my Sunny-Side Up!
♫ Happy birthday to me... ♫ It hurts!
- Don't hurt me! - Yinuo!
- Mama! - Are you having fun?
Yes!
Go play a little longer.
Can I have it Sunny-Side Up, Over-Easy?
Okay.
How come you're here?
This afternoon I was in the area for work.
So I came to see Yinuo.
Mom bought two tickets for Disney.
She says, for Yinuo's birthday, she'd like
to take her there to have fun.
On her birthday, Old Hu's planning to have
a birthday party for her at home.
I haven't had the time to tell you, yet.
At what time? Could we--
Officer Lu, hello.
You came to see the child.
Oh, right. Friday is Yinuo's birthday.
We're holding a big party for her at home.
You must come.
If you come, Yinuo will be so happy.
That's right.
Children love to play at cooking.
Yes, yes.
I'll go now.
Li,
the dinosaur.
- Yinuo, you want it Sunny-Side Up? - No!
- Over-Easy? - No!
- I'm going. - Bye.
Yinuo, going back home?
Okay.
- We're going home. - We're going home.
Hey, Brother Wang.
- Who's this? - Chi Zhen.
Let me ask you. You often look for that Lily--
It's not that! It's not police stuff, it has nothing to do with cops.
I'm asking you a few questions privately. This--
Hey, Brother Seven, this is Chi Zhen.
In Lihao you're always asking for that little--
- What Lihao? - You're his wife?
Explain. What's this Lihao?
Everyone says they didn't see Lily. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Is it any use to check these things?
Maybe.
Didn't Lily leave anything else?
Just these notebooks.
So, did she always use her phone to take jobs?
Oh, right! She also had another phone.
What?
Sister Lily had two phones. One was her own,
- the other was the Madam's. - What do you mean?
This was the Madam's phone.
And it was Sister Lily who answered.
The clients booked a girl and Sister Lily called her to go.
If the clients booked Lily, she wouldn't say she was Lily.
She'd still say, "Okay, I'll send her over," or something like that.
Miss, next time, if there's something that important, can you tell me sooner?
I forgot.
Oh, right. She also had the habit of recording the calls. Look.
These are all calls she took on the day she disappeared.
- Hello? - Hello, Ladies' Club?
- Who's speaking? - I'm looking for Yingying.
- All right. - Yingying is also taking jobs?
Tonight at 6:30.
Fangyuan Hotel.
All right. I'll arrange for her to go.
6:30? That's too early.
- Hello? - Hello, Pingping?
Pingping? Pingping is here.
Huh, then... Make her go to my place tonight, okay?
All right. What time?
Hello. Is it the Ladies' Club?
Yes, it is. Who are you looking for?
I'm looking for Lily.
Lily's here.
Can we set a date for tonight at 10:30?
- I'll tell her now. - A woman?
- Where is the place? - A woman.
At number 10, Dapudi.
Number 10!
Does this even count as an address?
Why would Sister Lily come to a date here?
Right. If they call you here, would you come?
Then why did that woman give her an appointment here?
Guess.
I know! Because she wanted to kill Sister Lily!
So she wouldn't say her home address.
You're so smart. You guessed it all, huh?
Even if you were thinking with your toes, people couldn't kill someone here.
This place is too much in the open.
She must have taken her somewhere else from here.
Where did she take her?
Who knows?
This lead ends here.
Let's go.
Wait for me.
[the Social] I'll place the order for you. Thank you.
Manager Chi!
They called you "Manager Chi," is this place yours?
In a way.
So, why did you bring me here?
Qiqi!
How's business today?
Not bad.
This is Suo Fei. Starting today, she'll be at the bar here.
Remember, only the bar. Not anything else.
Keep an eye on her. Anything happens, I'm going to question you.
Manager Chi,
Ah Liang brought back someone. It seems something's going on inside.
- Go get changed. - Thank you!
- Your name's Suo Fei, right? - Suo Fei.
Come with me.
What's the situation?
Manager Chi,
this guy had borrowed over 100,000 from us.
He ran for half a year; we couldn't find him anywhere.
Yesterday, a brother recognized him at the nightclub.
This is the money we collected, just ¥40-50,000.
How come you didn't show yourself for so long?
- No money. - Bulls*hit.
Hey... Hey!
Five days. Can you return the money?
Take his ID.
- Scram! - Wait!
People are working outside. Do you want to scare the customers away?
Cover his head with his shirt.
Ah Liang.
What is it, Manager Chi?
I know.
If something like this happens next time, don't come to the coffee shop.
Secondly, did you have to beat him up like that?
- Do you hear me? - Yes.
This money... split it with the guys.
You can have these. Share it with them, okay? Go.
Come in.
What were you doing? Why are you beating people?
Sit. Sit down.
Do you think I'm a bad guy?
No!
You look like you mean yes!
No...!
Today's headlines.
Mr. Chen wants me to find the killer.
And in there, two others have also died.
Bamboo Skewer Maniac Killer?
It can't be.
These two people: one is 31 years old,
one is 19 years old. I suspect it's the same killer who murdered Lily.
How old was Lily?
24.
It seems there's no connection.
No. They're all quite pretty.
Three girls died. They were all very pretty.
What does this mean?
It must have to do with sex.
Bao Yu's deposition.
Bao Yu isn't the killer.
I know. For Liu Yaping's case,
I wanted to organize all the details in order.
Of everything you do in the Information Investigation Team, no detail is too small.
Duo La, on the 22nd, left the house
and didn't go to school. She went directly to Bao Yu's house.
- You know? - I know.
After that, she ran away for a few days
until the incident.
It's clear for you, too. Right?
What is it that you want to say?
So in the days she ran away,
where did she live and who was she with?
I asked Bao Yu a hundred times.
He really doesn't know.
Bao Yu's statement says that Duo La wanted him to make a tattoo.
A tattoo of a picture.
- Please, have some tea. - Thank you.
Madam, let me ask you: did Duo La have a boyfriend?
I never heard.
Which man did your investigation lead you to?
No.
So, did Duo La buy any artwork recently?
For instance, paintings or sculptures?
Paintings...
Wait a moment.
This is a painting Duo La bought.
She put it under her bed.
I was going through her things in the last two days and I found it.
The signature's missing.
Madam, I want to take this painting away.
When the case is solved, I'll return it to you. Is that ok?
Take it. If it can help you, there's nothing better.
Thank you.
Can I use the bathroom for a moment?
Sure, it's that way.
Thank you.
You are...?
Hello, I'm Duo La's Math teacher. My last name is Wang.
We are all sad about what happened to Duo La.
This afternoon we were going through the students' tests
and we found this paper.
It's probably the last test Duo La took.
It's also the one where she did best.
I don't know if this is of any use to you,
so I brought it to you, as a memory token.
Please come in and have a seat for a moment.
Even this counts as an address?
This painting doesn't have a name. Is it...?
This is a painting Duo La bought.
Professor Wang, please have a seat.
Okay.
I just want to ask you,
did Duo La have any special friend?
- Friend? - Yes, female.
For instance...
- You're... - I think this painting...
Supervisor Lu, this is Professor Wang, a Math teacher from Duo La's school.
If you have any questions, you can ask him.
Professor Wang, have a seat. I'll pour you a cup of tea.
No need, no need. I'll go.
It's nothing, it's nothing.
Supervisor Lu, a pleasure.
Professor Wang, what are you doing?
It's just... delivering the test results to the student's family, see.
Last time, you burned the body.
This time, what are you planning to do?
Imparting education.
How much did they pay you? Who are you working for?
Thanks to your good care, I can't be a lawyer anymore.
Now I'm a teacher, I can't earn much money.
Who are you working for? Do you know how she died?
They pierced her neck with a stick. Stuck it in and pulled it out.
Stuck it in and pulled it out. Until she died.
Don't make me find out that you're involved.
Investigate this well, yeah?
Investigate this well.
