[Hua City, Peace Residential Community]
Thanks.
There's one more inside.
- Little Lu. - Section Chief Gao.
- Was anything moved inside? - No, nothing was allowed since you weren't here.
Chief Gao, I looked it over already. It's similar to a previous case.
Three bodies and three knives. The knives stayed plunged in and were not pulled out.
- All right, you worked hard. - I also just smelled the food.
All of it was spoiled. You should bring it back for more testing. I am concerned there might be poison.
You've improved.
Now you pay attention to what they are eating. Not bad.
Chief Gao, I want to see the Damansara couple's crime scene photos.
They are all over the news.
I want to see the rope knot that you photographed.
Just before you called me "Section Chief Gao."
Now you are telling me what to do.
Double loop knot.
The kind found on the Damansara couple was called the double loop knot.
This is also used during pig butcherings, for restraining pigs.
Butchers call it a trotter knot.
The three inside all got the trotter knot.
Everyone keep in order!
Please remain orderly. All right?
Then I will be able to answer your questions one by one.
Old Shi, can't handle it anymore?
Let me introduce to you, this is officer Little Lu.
Section Chief Shi.
He was already introduced to me a hundred times, and you still need more?
That's not the same.
Before he was not officially hired and was a temporary worker.
From this month onward, he is an official police officer.
Also, he's a man now.
LIttle Lu, show him your police identification.
Explain your case to him.
Did you see the three bodies inside?
I saw them already.
What are your thoughts?
Similarly to a previous case, all from the SOG single-blade combat knives.
This knife is 13 centimeters long but the wound is only 8 to 10 centimeters.
Therefore the murderer should be a female. Should be the wife of the Damansara couple.
All right, the police certificate was not given in vain.
As the senior official of the police department,
I will guarantee with a responsibility to everyone.
We will do our best to solve this case.
To recover our community's safety and give back the sense of security to our public.
Excuse me, Director Zhang is very busy. You can ask me any questions you have.
You all know Deputy Dong. If you have a hundred questions,
you may certainly ask him.
Are you sure this crime was committed by the Damansara couple?
Chief Shi, if there's nothing else, I will go work on some other tasks.
Go ahead.
I've waited for you for half a day. You are finally here?
What is the situation?
This girl's family are all dead. She is the only one left.
Her dad was a cab driver. There's another shared shift driver called Wang.
You try it.
What is your name?
Wu Wenxuan.

Either pick the obstetric or pediatric departments.
Much better than the surgical or oncology departments.
There is only life on that side, not death.
You don't need to work with a patient for a long time and then have to say goodbye.
It makes me sad just thinking about that.
What is it? Perhaps I shouldn't speak about death?
- We will all experience it later. - There's blood!
Everyone remain calm.
Principal Lin.
Senior, should I go over the prosecutor's questions with you?
No need.
I am thinking about how the defense lawyer will twist us around later.
So as the prosecuting witness, are you nervous?
What is there to be nervous about? I've been a witness for every case solved. I've done this hundreds of times already.
Of all the hundreds of times,
who is the most difficult person?
I know it. Is it Chi Zhen?
Frankly speaking, if I have the chance, I would like to face him in court one more time.
He is truly difficult to deal with.
A school bus from Hua City Health School?
Help.
What is the situation? What is wrong with them?
Go in with me to find out the situation. Why are you standing there for?
I want to report a crime.
- Officer, I want to report a crime. - Please be calm.
Right now, inside the car.
- Our principal is dead. - Please be calm.
Right inside the car.
What is the situation?
A bunch of students from Hua City Health School saying someone died on the bus.
Please remain calm.
There's so much blood.
Almost done. Get down now.
There are no prints or signs of struggle.
Also, no poison.
She just sat there, not moving. How did she die?
I don't know.
But the nurses said
Principal Lin came with them to see a hospital called Tongshan Hospital.
Half of Hua City's nurses were her students.
Are you done looking? If you are done, it's my turn to examine her.
There's no need to examine.
She is a principal over sixty years old, let her body remain whole.
That's not right. When do we not examine a dead body?
I've been a medical examiner for over twenty years.
This is the first time I've seen someone bringing a body in front of me on a bus.
- Yet you are not letting me examine it. - Don't examine it anymore.
What is the point of slicing up the heart, kidneys and lungs?
Leave her body intact.
- Eggy. - Senior.
Let me take a look.
They visited the hospital for over two hours. Where is the driver?
He said he was eating across the street.
This old master had been driving for over fifteen years. It doesn't seem like him.
Did any student return midway?
Too many of them. They can't tell clearly.
The suspect is known to them; was probably wearing nurses gloves.
What should we do? Keep all these kids here?
Of course not. They are Health School students.
Things will get out of hand if we hold them all.
- Let them return. - How do we return them?
The same way they came; return them the same.
- Let's discuss this. - Old Gao.
Don't examine the bus.
What's the matter? Didn't the person die on the bus?
Isn't that the crime scene then?
The crime scene came to our Investigative Bureau. You are allowing it to go back.
Supervisor Lu, the bureau has regulations.
Any object contaminated with blood,
the Evidence Department must hold it for examination.
Senior, let's keep the bus.
It's full of blood. Those kids will be afraid of sitting in there.
How many students are there?
Ten students, including the driver it's eleven.
Four people to one police car. Take them back.
We don't have that many cars available right now.
Use our own cars, too.
Just give them a ride already.
All right, let's disperse.
Go back to our tasks.
What is going on?
His ex-graduated from this Hua City Health School.
So all these nurses are considered as his ex-wife's younger classmates.
That means Lu Li knows this Principal Lin. Correct?
Should be the case.
Are you the class monitor?
You need to be strong and not panic.
If you panic, the other students will also panic.
Thanks.
[Hua City Health School]
[Hua City Medicare]
Go back home and rest well.
Officer Lu.
If there's nothing else, we are going home now.
Does Principal Lin live downstairs?
Downstairs, third door on the left.
Thanks.
I am going now.
This place is for both office and living quarters.
So many nurses.
I've only admired two people.
One is Director Zhang, the other is Principal Lin.
Health School students don't need to go to high school.
It's hard to supervise girls.
Principal Lin treats them like they are her own daughters.
She uses three years to polish them.
Turns them into angels in white.
You've been here before.
Yes.
Before the divorce, my ex-wife and I came here to visit her every year.
[Hua City University of Medicine] [No. 19, Xihua Road] [Lin Lihua] [Hua City Post Office]
This letter came yesterday.
[Hua City University of Medicine]
[2012 Final Examination]
An exam script from six years ago.
It's like a dog scribbled this.
How did the teacher marking this even understand it?
- Who is Wu Wenxuan? - Let me take a look.
It is really ugly.
Senior. Brother Zhen.
I have already finished questioning the director.
He said Principal Lin treated everyone very well. She couldn't have made any enemies.
Does it require a principal to accompany the nurses on a trip to Tongshan Hospital?
According to the normal procedure, it should be the director going.
But this time, Principal Lin said she wanted to go out for a breath of fresh air. She felt stifled.
So she brought the students there.
But when they arrived at the hospital, she said she was tired
and didn't get down from the bus. She wanted to take a nap.
That's to say, Principal Lin wanted to accompany the students on this trip, yet she didn't get down from the bus.
It's obvious that she went there to meet someone, isn't that so?
What should we do now?
Get the team ready to go back. Don't disturb the children.
Hello, may I know if this is the house of Madam Wu Wenxuan?
- I am. - My name is Chi Zhen.
I'm from the Crime Investigation Bureau. I'm Lu Li's friend. Can I go inside and talk?
Please come in.
- The house is really big. It has two levels? - Yes.
It even has a rooftop. Three levels!
Incredible.
I still remember this toy.
At that time, I bought this for your daughter. Her name is Yinuo, right?
Right. You bought it?
- Correct. Does she like it? - She does, quite a bit.
When a girl grows up, she doesn't like to play with dolls anymore. She likes this very much.
Where is she? Not here?
She went to the movies with her stepfather. She will be back in a while.
- Please take a seat. - Then why didn't you go, too?
I didn't want to watch that movie.
- Please have a seat. - Let's sit over there.
It's more comfortable. Is it okay?
Okay.
[Allowed to eat only two ice creams and three pieces of chocolate every day.]
Allowed to eat only two ice creams and three pieces of chocolate every day.
What does this mean?
I wrote that to my daughter. It's the rule for eating snacks.
- You wrote this? - Correct.
[Breakfast 7 : 00] [Lunch 12 : 00] [Dinner 18 : 00]
Breakfast, lunch, dinner. All these need to be scheduled.
That's to say, a mother must be meticulous. It's not easy.
- Here. - Thank you.
Does Lu Li know you're here?
He doesn't know. If he knew, he would surely try to stop me from coming.
You only recently joined the Crime Investigation Bureau, right?
I have met everyone in the station, from Chief Zhang to Eggy Boy.
- But I have not met you before. - Actually, I knew him from much earlier.
It was probably five to six years ago. At that time, we always met in court.
Just now, I was still thinking, why would a cop choose a nurse?
These two people have nothing much in common.
But after I saw you just now, I know his reason now.
Why did you divorce him?
I'm sorry. Look at what I'm asking about.
Was it because when Lu Li was outside--
It's not.
Actually, where emotions are concerned, no one is right or wrong.
When I knew him, I was a little girl.
In my eyes, he was a hero.
Do you know it's not hard for a little girl to fall in love with a hero?
But it was quite hard to get along with this hero.
What about now?
Now, I see that your home environment is really good.
And your child is also healthy, right?
Your husband probably treats you quite well, too.
Is it because after you chose to live a new life, you're now blissful?
Actually, all I wanted was to find a secure and healthy environment for my child to grow up in.
As to my emotional needs, it is secondary.
Police Officer Chi, you didn't come looking for me especially to talk about my views on relationships, right?
Of course not. This afternoon, the principal of the nursing school you attended passed away.
She was murdered.
Did the investigation reveal who murdered her?
This is the matter we are investigating now.
Yesterday, she probably received a parcel that someone sent to her.
It is an exam paper.
She wanted to go and meet the person who sent the item to her, and then, she died.
An exam paper?
An exam paper. Your exam paper.
In 2012, you scored 91 marks on one of the end-of-term examinations. A very high score.
Can I look at this exam paper?
It was taken away by your former husband.
But how is an exam paper related to the death of Principal Lin?
This should be the question I'm asking you.
How is an exam paper related to the death of Principal Lin?
You are interrogating me now?
I was the wife of a cop for five years.
I know that when you ask questions, it is differentiated into making inquiries and interrogating.
I suggest when you are making inquiries, do not ask with a tone of interrogation.
[Hua City Police] [Name : Chi Zhen]
Now, you can totally treat my inquiries as an interrogation.
I'm going to ask again.
How is an exam paper related to the death of Principal Lin?
Maybe Yinuo is back. I'll go open the door.
Your colleague is here.
You're here.
I knew you would come here.
I didn't manage to ask anything at all.
There's no need for you to bother about the matter relating to Wu Wenxuan.
Look. As a mom, she wrote down personally for her child
what she should eat every day, and how much of it.
It's not easy at all.
That's right.
From young, Lu Yinuo can only eat three pieces of chocolate and two ice creams every day.
Actually, she could only eat one. I added the other one.
What's the matter with you?
What is the matter with you?
I'm leaving.
[Grand Hyatt]
In the Criminal Investigation Bureau, no one can be trusted.
Chief Dong, Eggy Boy, Lu Li...
I can't trust any of them.
The writing on the exam paper was so ugly.
I can write prettier characters with my foot.
But on the post-its in Wu Wenxian's house,
the handwriting was beautiful.
It's clear that they weren't written by the same person.
Of course, there has to be someone who took the exam for her.
Who was it?
But I can't figure, after all this time,
Lu Li... why would he care?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I understand.
I dare not trust anyone.
I want to believe them.
I really want to believe them.
Do you know why?
Because since I was a child, I've always been alone.
Every problem I had, I had to solve it alone.
There's never been anyone to help me.
The feeling of being all alone is awful.
Later, relying on myself, I made it as a lawyer.
As a lawyer, I thought I could live like a person.
But good things don't last.
Suddenly, one day, I couldn't be a lawyer anymore
and I ended up being a nightclub manager.
I don't even know why I gradually turned from a person to a ghost.
How could I be a nightclub manager?
Later, yet, I joined the police department.
It's like... I don't know how it started...
It's as if I found something to depend on.
It's as if I found the meaning of my life in the world.
I slowly came to think and be able to change back from a ghost to a person.
But the disappointing part is that,
I don't know when it started;
all the mutual understanding I used to have
is gone and there's no way to go back to those days.
In the end, everything has turned into silence and hostility.
Then I realized...
I'm still alone.
You're too lonely.
No matter what happened to you before,
people can never go back to the past
and can't possess the future, either.
What we have is now.
But every present moment to you is just grieving for the past,
blaming yourself, and worrying about the future.
You can't go on this way.
Even if the right person appeared right in front of you,
you wouldn't be able to see her at all.
You kept saying "lonely, lonely."
Being alone, of course, you will feel lonely.
But two people together, having nothing to say to one another,
will be even lonelier.
Let go of the past.
Otherwise, it's your decision to be alone forever.
What are you saying?
You're so long-winded every day.
You're around just like a little bee
talking as if you made sense. I don't get what you're saying.
So, do you like bees?
Who likes bees?
I'm not a beekeeper.
Is Principal Lin really dead?
She was stabbed to death at the gate of Tongshan Hospital.
Did Chi Zhen ask you where you went this afternoon?
No.
- Then I'll ask you. Where did you go this afternoon? - I was home all day.
Yinuo?
She went to the movies with Old Hu. I'm telling you...
What do you mean?
You want your daughter to testify that I was home?
I only want to see if you have an alibi.
You're just my ex... ex-ex-husband. What right do you have to question me?
If you're asking as a cop, then take me to the precinct for interrogation.
[2012 final examination form] [Score 91]
Is this your exam paper?
- Is this your exam paper? - Yes.
Why do you write notes around the house?
After half the movie, she fell asleep,
so I carried her back.
Lu Yinuo is a bother to you.
What kind of words are these? I'm also her father, in a way.
You were before, you aren't now. You two are divorced.
I'll find a place to stay for the mother and daughter as soon as possible and leave.
- Lu Li! - Wenxuan,
then I'll take the child up to sleep.
Lu Li, however mad you are with me, it has nothing to do with Old Hu.
Wenxuan, the most important thing is to live.
Figure out clearly what you want to do in the future.
Figure it out.
Good morning!
In a hurry to leave?
No.
- Then have breakfast first. - Okay.
I bought a Western-style breakfast at the shop down in the building.
Sausages, fried eggs, and toast.
Here.
- Tuck in. - Okay.
- Yesterday, you got drunk. - Yesterday, I got drunk! God!
Just seeing that many empty cans on the floor... I blacked out.
How much did I drink last night?
It's nothing. Drinking a lot is normal.
- Last night, you... slept... - Last night, I...
Last night, my head hurts so much.
We...
Phone.
- Hello? - We're going to Tongshan Hospital, we'll re-create the scene.
- Really? - Yeah. - I'll be right there, right away.
I know, I know. I'll run, I'll run. Okay.
- You want me to go with you? - No need! No need! I told you.
You're around all day like a little bee, it's so annoying.
- I'll just g- - So you remember what happened yesterday?
I...
I... I just...
Yesterday... I remember it seems... I said something about a bee...
And then?
And then...
Little bee... then...
Last night, you snored too loud.
You woke me up all the way to my room.
Mind your health. Don't get too tired.
- Go. - Sure, sure.
Go.
You've seen all the crime scene, right? Everything's inside.
I'm here.
Hello. Excuse me, is Nurse Zhang Xinling in?
Go straight there to the second room.
Thank you.
No fever.
I'll come back in a bit.
Is Principal Lin's matter related to you?
Let's talk somewhere else.
The killer should have been standing in this position, talking to Principal Lin.
Then they suddenly pulled out the knife and stabbed her chest.
Then they took off the jacket and covered her with it.
They ran from the door.
More or less it's like this, right?
Judging from the wound, they were kneeling in the front row
applying strength from up, down.
No question.
Then to be able to chat with her like that, it must have been someone familiar.
Let's start investigating from Principal Lin's circle.
Old Gao, what's up with Supervisor Lu?
Up to yesterday, he was pretty proactive; but today, he doesn't care about anything.
He thinks a lot. Don't mind him.
The Material Evidence team can submit the full report, anyway.
- Brother Zhen. - Did you go look for Lu Yinuo at the kindergarten?
Yes. Lu Yinuo was there alone.
- Was Wu Wenxuan there? - No.
She wasn't there?
No.
She should have gone and picked up the child.
I don't know either.
But Brother Zhen, they're all at the front gate. Why did you make me wait here at the rear by myself?
There's a question we've actually never answered, did you notice?
Who was Principal Lin looking for coming here?
Wu Wenxuan.
Let's go talk inside.
The elevator is so slow!
Let's take the stairs!
She's still warm.
Hey! [Exit]
Senior, a nurse was killed at the emergency exit on the second floor. You guys come quickly.
Take this.
[Zhang Xinling, ID - 40737]
[Patient Name, daily examinations, red blood cells...]
It's like a dog scribbled this.
This looks exactly the same as the writing on the exam paper.
She's the one who took the exam for Wu Wenxuan.
