What the hell? This egg is too salty!
Go make one more!
I'll have this one, you have the others.
Fry it again!
Have some more, here.
In a bit, take a shower then go to your father's room.
He has something to tell you.
In a bit, go go-kart racing.
- Is it enough? - Sure, sure, it's enough.
Let me eat a little more.
Go, go, leave it.
- Hurry out. - I'm going.
Don't shout.
Actually, since the day you started bullying me, you stopped being my parents.
The reason I stayed in this house
was just because everything you did to me,
I wanted to return it piece by piece.
Every day I was thinking of
how to kill the three of you.
I thought about the details countless times.
I've been waiting for five years.
I finally reached this day.
Just because we have no blood ties, can you treat me like this?
What did I call him? What did I call him?
What did I call him?
I called him "Dad."
"Dad."
Actually, I didn't want to see you again.
Because just seeing you makes me... sick.
But I had to wait until you woke up.
Who knows if the police will check your stomach
and see if there's any lidocaine.
You know, I learned all of this in Health School.
In your whole life, the one thing you've done that befits a person
was just taking me to Health School.
For the rest...
you truly are not human.
Talk. Where's the stuff that's worthy of money in the house?
- D-Drawer. - Which drawer?
The second drawer.
Take it all.
I won't tell! I won't call the police.
Don't kill me. Don't kill me!
- No! - Shut your dirty mouth.
Do you know? They all died because of you.
The one who should die most of all is you.
Uncle Wang!
Do me a favor.
Go wash your face.

[Episode 23]
- All ready? - All ready.
Brother Zhen, the interrogator in charge needs to sign.
Ms. Wu Wenxuan, hello, my name is Chi Zhen.
I'm going to carry out your interrogation now.
The words we say
will go through this digital camera straight to the opposite room,
so this interrogation is completely public.
Any questions?
All right.
Then let's begin now.
In your oral account before, you said you killed six people.
Which six people? We'll start from there.
Fine. Then we'll go one by one.
This is your adoptive father, Wu Bin.
This is your adoptive mother, Shi Yun.
This is your little brother, Wu Wenyang.
Here is an investigation report.
Have you ever seen it?
No.
This is the person in charge of that investigation report at the time.
This officer, after interviewing all the witnesses
and gathering all the evidence,
concluded that you were innocent.
But half a year later, this officer married you and became your ex-husband.
So now we all agree that the content of this investigation report
is partly true,
partly false. And partly,
it was intentionally hiding things that weren't written.
So, starting now, please,
you and I will comb through this file.
Is that all right?
June 14, 2012, in the afternoon,
Hua City's Health School was conducting your final examination.
Do you still remember?
It doesn't matter.
On that morning you were in school, reviewing your lessons,
preparing for the afternoon exam.
Then your adoptive mother came to the school
and told you to go back home.
Your adoptive father, Wu Bin, had something to tell you.
Then at noon, you left school.
But on that afternoon, you obtained a score of 91 in your exam.
You had a perfect alibi.
Until a few days ago, Principal Lin died.
The truth about the whole matter
is that before you left the school
you told your good friend, Zhang Xinling, to take the exam for you.
After you went back home,
you poisoned your family's last meal.
After drugging them,
you tied them up with a double loop,
what we commonly call "pig's foot buckle."
After that, you took three SOG knives
and stabbed each of them to death.
Afterwards, you threw out all the poisoned food
and changed it with non-poisoned food
that you had bought in advance.
Through the whole process, you were mimicking the Damansara couple's M.O. (Modus Operandi)
You hoped everybody would be convinced that this case was part of the serial killing.
Except that we know the killer is you, Wu Wenxuan.
Do you admit to what I said?
I admit it.
Please have a look.
If you don't have any questions, please sign this confession.
[Wu]
[Wu Wenxuan]
Our interrogation ends here.
I personally have two questions to ask you.
The first is, at the time Lu Li was in charge of the case,
I believe he wouldn't have dared modify the testimony.
So, how much did he know about this case?
How much did he cover up?
He didn't know anything.
He thought I was innocent.
Even though your adoptive parents had no blood ties,
they raised you to the age of 21, after all.
And you little brother, Wu Wenyang, was just around 15.
What kind of deadly hatred
could make you kill them in cold blood?
What did your adoptive father tell you that afternoon?
Ms. Wu,
please answer me.
- I can't say it. - You must answer me.
Tell me now.
What kind of reason made you so ruthless to them?
Please answer me.
I can't say it.
I already signed the confession. I admit to killing them.
- I'm sorry. I must know. Why? - There's no reason.
- What reason made you- - No reason.
- I killed them. - Just arrest me.
Chi Zhen, come out.
You have to tell me why.
COME OUT!
- I killed them. - CHI ZHEN, COME OUT!
Don't make me, I beg you!
You have to tell me, WHY?
- Please, don't force me. - What made you do it?
- I beg you. - Answer me now!
COME OUT!
WHAT? Six victims!
I asked about three. I'll leave the other three to you.
You'd better take advantage of this chance.
Because from now on, you'll be the one sitting there.
Internal affairs will be interrogating you.
I'm sorry.
I'm the one who did you wrong.
I'm sorry. I kept it from you for so many years.
Only letting you know now that I was the killer.
I know that being a cop, for you,
is the most reassuring thing.
Thank you for appearing in my life six years ago.
Do you know?
Six years ago, at the bottom of the stairs, when you asked
"what's your name?"
at that moment,
I finally felt
I was really alive.
Take good care of Yinuo.
And don't forget yourself.
As a representative of Hua City's Criminal Investigation Bureau,
for the crime of manslaughter,
I'm arresting you.
- Chief Dong. - I already called for a curfew in the whole city.
Please, assemble all the officers upstairs. Within 72 hours,
we must bring those two to trial.
- All right. - Hey, where are you going?
I'll have a chat with Ms. Zhao.
Don't drag this case anymore!
Combine the cases — and take care of them!
We'll just chat for a minute.
Ms. Zhao, so you saw the Damansara couple
running away from here?
I can't be sure.
Can you show me their pictures again, please?
Sure.
It's them! I'm sure.
I saw them with my eyes running from the door to the right.
Ms. Zhan, please look here.
This is your statement.
If you think there's no problem, please sign your name on each page.
If you think there's a problem, we can still change it now.
But you must know: issuing a false statement is against the law.
This is manslaughter. Two years at the least.
I know.
- No problem. - Thank you.
The car belongs to Wu Bin.
He drives at night. I drive during the day.
Every month I give him 5,000 flat.
Deducting the gas cost, I made around 3,000.
We've been driving together for over ten years.
Every time, I leave the car at the gate.
I leave the key on their window sill.
On the following day, the car key is on my windowsill, as well.
Master Wang, you must have seen wrong.
We're very good to Wenxuan.
Your imagination went too far. It's nothing.
Master Wang. Master Wang.
When you left the key today, did you see anything?
I didn't see anything.
Come in.
Back home!
TV, TV. Turn the TV on.
Mom, you just came back. Let's talk a bit.
For a couple of days, don't watch it. Just rest.
Turn the TV on for my mother right now!
It must stay on 24/7.
Okay, I'm coming.
Here.
Right. On.
How's it going? Are you still very busy lately?
Not too bad. Not really busy.
I'm staying with you.
Don't stay with me. If you're busy, go.
- For real? - Really.
You're making me embarrassed.
- Go. - I really am busy.
Call me for anything.
You're thinner.
I'm handsome when I am thinner!
[Hua City Police case record]
[Personal profile: Wu Wenxuan]
[Lu Li]
Can all of you please leave.
Little Lu, do you still remember these two knives?
I do.
When I first came here as an intern, there was a case.
All the clues on the crime scene
proved that
the murder weapon was a FOX316 smudged with fingerprints.
Everyone felt that it was the murder weapon.
You walked over and gave the stab wound a glance,
and said that sometimes, the knife that we see...
isn't always the knife that kills, after all.
The real murder weapon was this "Eagle."
Not bad. You even remembered the names of the knives.
Why did you ask me to come here?
Has Old Shi examined that lady who died in the supermarket?
No need to examine her anymore.
Same as Principal Lin and Nurse Zhang.
They were stabbed in the chest with a SOG knife that was never pulled out.
SOG. Used previously by the Damansara couple.
Your former wife also learned to use this.
Do you still remember that pig's trotter knot I told you about those years ago?
The so-called pig's trotter knot is used to tie pigs when slaughtering them.
Because pigs flail about randomly when they are being slaughtered,
they don't die so quickly when stabbed once with a knife.
SOG is like this.
It can't kill a person immediately
when stabbed with it once.
Three persons died during this period of time.
Principal Lin died on the bus.
There is time to wait for her to take her last breath.
The second one is Nurse Zhang.
She died at the emergency exit.
No one passed by that place.
There is also time to wait for her to take her last breath.
But the third victim Auntie Zhao,
she died in the supermarket.
It was necessary that she dies immediately.
How great is the visitor volume at the supermarket?
As long as the victim made some noise,
the murderer knew that he would not be able to escape.
But the SOG can't perform to this level.
The American M7 Military Knife, the American Airforce standard equipment.
Later, the Army started to use it in batches.
The murder used this military knife
to stab once into the victim's chest.
The victim died immediately.
He then pulled the military knife out
and stabbed the SOG
into the wound.
Little Lu,
sometimes, the knife that you see
is not the knife which killed a person.
If she didn't kill her,
then she didn't do it.
Supervisor Lu,
I'm Inspector Wang. We suspect that in the process of enforcing the law,
you falsified testimony.
Please cooperate with us and allow to be investigated.
Inspector Wang,
we arrest the criminals, you arrest the cops.
You even come to the Crime Investigation Bureau to make your arrest.
Aren't you even going to inform me about it?
Deputy Chief Dong, we just want to make a routine investigation of Supervisor Lu.
You can do that.
You are from a higher level. You can carry out your public duty anytime.
Can I listen in?
No problem at all.
Supervisor Lu, on June 14, 2012,
you were then in charge of the investigation of
the triple homicide case of Wu Bing, Shi Yun, and Wu Wenyang. Is that correct?
Yes.
In the process of the investigation, you used the testimonies of four important witnesses.
In succession, they were Lin Lihua,
Zhang Xinling, Zhao Chunrong, and Wang Hongshen.
And Wu Wenxuan, too.
No, no, no.
Wu Wenxuan is the murderer in this case.
So, she can't be considered a witness.
All the confessions she made are nullified.
I didn't know the truth of the matter then.
Whether you knew or not, we still have to continue to investigate.
It is not up to you.
You obtained Wu Wenxuan's alibi
from Principal Lin Lihua.
It was through that Nursing School exam paper which she scored 91. Is that correct?
Yes.
Are you certain that at the time the crime was committed, Wu Wenxuan was in the exam hall?
I'm not certain.
Did you eliminate the possibility that someone sat for the exam on her behalf?
- No. - No?
That is to say, Wu Wenxuan's alibi
was not confirmed at all.
As a cop,
you announced the case closed even before you completely establish the suspect to be innocent.
This is a very serious act of dereliction of duty.
Do you admit to it?
I admit to it.
Good.
Please put this on record.
You lived with Wu Wenxuan as her husband for five years.
During these five years, did you ever suspect that Wu Wenxuan was
the murderer in this case in which the entire family was killed?
Suspicion does not mean that she is convicted of the crime.
Furthermore, the case was already closed.
Whether as a member of the police force, or a commoner,
I did not violate any regulations.
I'm afraid it isn't as simple as that.
Supervisor Lu, we are highly suspicious that you falsified and changed
the testimony, that is, the testimony of Wang Hongsheng.
In light that you failed to carry out your duty in this case,
we are officially starting to investigate you.
Following this, you will temporarily stop all your work in the Crime Investigation Bureau.
During this period when you are under suspension, you are not allowed to take part in any crime investigation work,
especially the investigation related to this case.
Please surrender your police ID and issued gun.
Senior.
Sit down.
What do you guys want? Go do the things you ought to be doing.
I can't be a cop anymore. Doesn't mean that you all can't be cops either.
Sit down!
Where is Wang Hongsheng now, the one who drove a rented taxi,
the last witness of the four witnesses of the case that year?
The other three witnesses are already dead.
He won't be in any danger.
The murderer is targeting Wu Wenxuan, forcing her to surrender to the police.
She has already surrendered to the police.
He won't be in any danger.
He is not completely safe either.
There's another possibility.
After the murderer killed these three other people,
he wanted to create an illusion.
I'm already suspended from my work.
If there's really a murderer, I'll have to entrust the case to you.
Senior.
What happened, Mr. Chen?
More than ten street thugs barged in here suddenly.
All of them kids between sixteen and seventeen years old.
They started to slash and chop randomly the moment they got in here and fled immediately afterward.
Who did it?
Definitely Pixiu.
He's cleaning up my faction. Definitely taking some big actions.
Ah'kang.
He kept telling me it would be complete.
Dying by my side is perfect for him.
This is perfect.
Chief Dong will still send men here. What are you planning to do?
If you want to go back to prison, I guarantee that
Chief Dong will not allow you to last for more than three days in there.
But I can contact the Royal Police Force, and ask them to not let you serve your prison sentence in Hua City.
How about that?
I want to be a state witness.
