[Your Secret]
I suspect that the victim was previously abused.
It could very well be her husband.
The victim was beaten to death. That's a definite.
The biggest suspect is her husband, Zhao Tong.
But we can't disregard the possibility of it being somebody else.
At the scene of the crime, other than the victim and her husband,
we didn't find a third person's fingerprints.
But it's very normal to have the appearance of the husband's fingerprints in their home. It can't be used as evidence that he is the killer.
Where's Tian Tian?
Tian Tian is somewhere very safe. He won't be back tonight.
What do you mean?
Tian Tian is actually whose child?
You don't need to worry about that. It's none of your business.
If it's not my business, then whose business is it?
You lied to me saying you didn't have a child.
You said Tian Tian was an orphan and you adopted him out of kindness.
This afternoon, I saw Tian Tian's mom.
You don't need to pretend anymore.
Are you looking for death?
You scoundrel. I want to get a divorce.
[Episode 21]
- Guo Chao. - Yes?
Have the people that played cards with Zhao Tong been found?
I'm contacting them now.
Is the camera ready?
Yes.
Come. Let's see the elevator's video footage.
- Start from 10:00 p.m. - Okay.
We checked already. This floor has a total of four families.
Other than Song Qihang and Zhao Tong,
there is one who went on a business trip and one more who already moved away.
So theoretically speaking, there are only two families on that floor.
It could also be a security guard, a delivery person, or a takeout delivery person
Yes, that's right.
Look. Chief Physician Song and Xiaoxiao.
It's past 10:00 p.m., they just arrived back from their wedding ceremony.
It looks like they're very tired. They're not even talking.
Go on.
Mr. Zhao is leaving.
The time is 12:43 a.m. It matches the statement.
Keep going. Let's see if anyone else shows up.
The takeout delivery arrived.
He really stopped on the 7th floor.
1:27 a.m.
Hypothetically, if he really went to Zhao Tong's house to kill someone,
how long would he need before he comes back out?
15 minutes.
At a minimum, it should be 10 minutes.
How come he came out so fast?
Impossible. That fast?
1:28 a.m.
It's not even 1 minute.
Stop.
He left so soon, it would be impossible to have time
to enter the house to steal things and commit murder.
His body language doesn't make it seem like it either.
There could be another possibility. The takeout was not actually for the Zhao residence.
It was for their neighbors, the Song residence.
Xiaoxiao didn't mention it.
Check the victim's and her husband's phone.
See if they ordered takeout last night.
If they did, look for the delivery person to verify.
Okay.
Keep looking. Let's see when Mr. Zhao came home.
Okay.
8:17 a.m. Came back home.
Early this morning, at about 1:00 a.m,
Did you deliver takeout to Jing Shunyuan
- at Building 3, Unit 1, Room 701? - Yes.
The delivery person really did accept an order a little past 12:00 a.m.
The phone number used to place the order belonged to the victim.
Moreover, the delivery person went up and knocked on the door, but nobody answered. He tried calling, but nobody picked up.
Later, he placed the takeout at the front door and left.
It aligns with what we saw in the video footage.
But it doesn't align with the condition of the crime scene.
When we arrived at the scene, we already discovered the takeout on the table.
Then could it be that Zhao Tong brought in the takeout from outside when he got home?
Zhao Tong didn't say that.
He said that when he came home, the takeout was already there.
One of them is lying.
There's a bigger chance that it is Zhao Tong.
The delivery person appeared for less than a minute.
Based on the crime scene,
the possibility of him committing the crime isn't very big.
I agree. Based on the evidence found on the victim's body,
it aligns with your theories.
Zhao Tong has the biggest possibility of being the killer.
You said that the knife wound was created after death?
100% sure. The edges of the wound don't show any signs of fighting back.
Not a lot of bleeding. So the wound was definitely created after death.
Let me use your pen. Also, the angle of the knife. Jin, come on.
Hypothetically, if two people are fighting,
no matter if the knife was stabbed like this
or stabbed like this, the angle of the knife should still be slanted.
But we discovered that the victim's chest wound
is almost at a 90-degree angle.
So the wound was intentionally created. It's not the real cause of death.
What's the real cause of death?
The real cause of death was brain damage.
When we opened the victim's head to examine,
her skull had a severe crack.
Before her death, the killer grabbed her head and hit her head against the wall.
And it wasn't only once.
On the wall at the crime scene, I found traces of someone being hit.
It should be created from slamming the victim's head.
Also, on the victim's body, we discovered several contusions.
They are bruises.
There are old and new ones. In addition, there are three broken ribs.
It's domestic violence.
I suspect that when the victim was alive, she was frequently beaten.
And it could possibly be her husband.
The fact that the victim was beaten is a definite.
The biggest suspect is her husband, Zhao Tong.
But we can't eliminate the possibility of it being somebody else.
At the scene of the crime, other than the victim and her husband,
we didn't find a third person's fingerprints.
But the appearance of the husband's fingerprints in the house is very normal.
It can't be used as evidence that he is the killer.
But it is not normal for the murder weapon to not have his fingerprints.
It's possible that a third person touched this knife and wanted to wipe off their own fingerprints.
Coincidentally, they wiped off all other fingerprints on it.
During my investigation at the crime scene, the doors and windows were all in good condition,
there were no traces of forced entry.
Guo Chao, did you locate the people who played cards with Zhao Tong?
I already located them. Zhao Tong looked for them around 1:00 a.m.
Based on the time of the murder, he could have possibly left after he killed his wife.
The victim's time of death is between 11:00 p.m. on the 5th and 3:00 a.m. on the 6th.
So it's very hard to determine whether the victim died before or after her husband left.
Previous domestic abuse?
The crime scene doesn't have the appearance of a third person.
Fingerprints at the scene can't be used as evidence that Zhao Tong committed murder.
A falsely created knife wound?
Delivery person went up, but nobody opened the door?
- Wait. - What did you find?
You guys take a look.
The room is a mess.
Almost everything on the table has dropped to the floor.
Only the takeout is perfectly placed on the table.
It's very obvious that someone placed it there.
The takeout was delivered after Zhao Tong left.
But there could only be one possibility.
When Zhao Tong went home in the morning, he took the takeout from outside and placed it on the table
The purpose is to make it look like the delivery person went into the house.
The takeout wasn't ordered by the victim.
It was Zhao Tong, after he killed his own wife, he ordered it using his wife's phone.
So when the delivery person went up, nobody opened the door.
Because the person inside had already died.
What time was it when Zhao Tong got into the elevator to go home?
- 8:17 a.m. - When did he call the police?
8:03 a.m.
Let's go get him.
This photo. That day, Yunxiao drank too much.
We were sitting in front of his house and there was nothing to do. So I took it for fun.
And you still say that you don't have any relationship with him?
I don't.
[Double Happiness]
What's that sound?
What do you mean what sound?
Hello, Xiao Chu. Are you at the Forensic Center?
I am, why?
Nothing much.
I drove to your area to pick up Tian Tian from school.
It's not time yet.
I wanted to have some tea with you.
I can't right now. I have to head to the crime scene. Do you have something important? We can meet later?
It's okay. I was just passing on my way. Nothing urgent.
Oh, did you know? The murder case next to you has been solved.
It was the husband who beat his wife to death. Mr. Zhao has been arrested.
I figured it out a long time ago. I just didn't think the result would be so serious.
If the victim had called the police earlier, this wouldn't have happened.
You and she were neighbors, but you are much luckier.
It's basically heaven and hell.
Xiaoxiao, are you still there?
Nothing much. You keep working. We'll try to meet at another time.
Aren't you going on your honeymoon? Why haven't you gone yet?
We'll go in two days.
Then okay. Have a Happy Honeymoon. Bye-Bye.
What's wrong with Xiaoxiao?
Nothing much. She just wanted to have some tea with me.
Happy wife.
Tian Tian, you're done with school?
Give me your backpack.
Let's go.
My mom was just like you. She was beaten by my dad.
You say that your mom was hit by your dad.
Then, was your mom beat to death by your dad?
My mom didn't die. Who said that my mom died?
Didn't your Uncle Song say that your parents had already died?
He lied to you. My dad and mom are still alive.
Where are your dad and mom?
Why are you living with Uncle Song?
Uncle Song is my dad.
Then, what about your mom? Do you know where she is?
Yes.
You haven't made dinner yet?
Tian Tian?
Where's Tian Tian?
Tian Tian is somewhere really safe.
He won't be back tonight.
What do you mean?
Who does Tian Tian actually belong to?
You don't have to worry about it. It's none of your business.
If it's not my business, then whose business is it?
You lied to me saying you didn't have any children.
You said that Tian Tian was an orphan and you adopted him out of kindness.
This afternoon, I saw Tian Tian's mom.
You don't need to pretend anymore.
Are you looking for death?
You scoundrel.
I want to get a divorce.
This is the divorce agreement. I don't want even one cent of yours.
Sign it.
Okay. If you have anything to say, tell it to my lawyer.
You bitch!
Has the surgery for the patient in Bed 7 been arranged?
Hey, Dr. Song. Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon? Why are you back so soon?
This surgery is too important. I couldn't let it go, so I let my wife go on her own.
Please give me the medical history file for the patient in Bed 7.
Okay.
Originally, the patient in Bed 7 had already been given to Dr. Deng.
Since you came back, then I'll notify him.
Okay. Arrange it as soon as possible.
I brought you all the books you left in your drawer here.
Thank you.
Tell me. It's only for a few days, but
you brought so many books, can you read them all?
I need to study more.
Right now, I'm so busy every day at the Forensic Center.
Fortunately, I was able to recharge at your place.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to keep up.
Help me ask something.
Tomorrow, I want to take my mom in for a wellness check-up.
After my dad's incident, she hasn't been well.
I want to take her in for a checkup. Do you know anyone at the City Hospital?
Yes. I'll give them a call later. You can just bring Auntie in.
These things used to be taken care of by Xiaoxiao.
Look at right now.
I called her a few days ago and she didn't even respond.
When I text her she also doesn't respond. Yesterday, she responded with, "I'm on my honeymoon."
I also received a text from Xiaoxiao yesterday. She said she was going on her honeymoon.
That's not right. It should be called a "solo vacation."
Her husband was suddenly busy, so he couldn't go.
Newlyweds and she's going on a honeymoon alone? Don't you think that she's a rare flower?
I'll send her a WeChat to ask her what she's doing.
New Bride, are you having fun in the Maldives?
She posted a status update in her social circle.
I see it now.
[Abandoned by your husband?]
[None of your business.]
Look. She's already someone's wife and her temperament is still so rough.
Don't tease her.
What? It's so boring to be alone.
[Hahaha. You hate it.]
[I'm going to go swimming.]
Swimming?
When did she learn how to swim?
I don't know. Maybe she just learned to.
Gu Chu? Why are you here?
I came here to ask you something about Xiaoxiao.
Hasn't she been in the Maldives these past two days?
I called her, but she doesn't pick up.
When I text her, she doesn't respond.
Really? Let me call her.
Nobody's picking up.
She must be having a lot of fun.
Over there, the signal isn't too good.
I also haven't been able to contact her. Are you looking for her for something?
It's like this. On the day of your wedding, Ling Shuang helped with the ceremony.
Later, it seems like there were a few payments that haven't been made.
Also, Xiaoxiao's wedding dress hasn't been returned.
Is there such a thing? Look how busy I am,
I've forgotten everything.
Xiaoxiao had mentioned it to me before. How about this? Tomorrow, I will take care of it immediately.
Please send my apologies to Ling Shuang.
No problem. We're all old friends.
Chief Physician Song, you're too busy. You couldn't even go on your honeymoon?
Yeah. When things get busy, it's hard to get vacation time.
Next time there's free time, I'll make it up to Xiaoxiao.
Then, I won't bother you anymore. I'll head out first.
- I'm leaving. - Thank you.
- No problem. - Goodbye.
Xiaoxiao and he are interesting.
This is the first time I've heard of someone going on a honeymoon alone.
The ocean over there is so blue.
Look.
That's not right.
Right now, it should be their rainy season. Why would there be a blue sky?
No, she just posted it. It's blue.
Really? I remember that it really is the rainy season.
Let me research it.
But it's really weird.
Xiaoxiao loves to take selfies the most, but there isn't even one.
What's wrong?
How come the pictures Xiaoxiao posted are the same as the ones on the web?
Look.
Yes. It's the same.
They were all downloaded from the internet.
Auntie Cai.
Yes. Dr. Song, you're back?
Did she eat yet?
She only ate a little congee.
Okay. You head back first.
I have a few days off, you don't need to come over anymore.
Okay. Then I'll leave first.
Wait a moment.
The situation regarding my wife. Don't tell others.
I got it. Thank you, Dr. Song.
Call her and ask her.
She didn't pick up.
Why did she have to post fake pictures?
Did her husband say anything?
He didn't say much. He said that she was having fun over there.
Could it be...
Is there a need to go to their house and take a look?
Let's go.
Where's Tian Tian?
Let's bring him home, okay?
I really miss him.
Xiaoxiao.
I was wrong.
I shouldn't have hit you.
Believe me.
I didn't do it on purpose.
I couldn't control myself.
I can't be without you.
I know I don't have any reason for you to forgive me.
I'm just a failure.
I don't even know how to convince the woman I love to stay.
Would you say that I'm particularly stupid?
Actually, in front of you,
I have low self-esteem.
Other than my job position being a little higher than yours,
I think that I don't have any other areas that match up to you.
Your family background is good. Your parents are both college professors.
Your friends are also rich and powerful.
They're good-natured.
And I'm not the same.
I don't have parents.
So I was looked down upon by others.
Bullied by others. Appearance,
education, physical condition,
not a single prominent feature.
When I went to college,
I finally gathered the confidence to confess my love to the girl I love.
She agreed to be my girlfriend.
Then later, she fell in love with another boy with better qualifications.
I instantly fell apart.
I begged her not to leave me.
I even knelt outside her dorm,
hoping that she would change her mind.
But she didn't even take a look at me.
One day, that guy drove a sports car to pick her up.
She was very beautiful.
She came out of the dorm. I was very jealous.
I got in front to stop her,
hoping that she wouldn't go.
But she said to me,
"What right do you have?"
What right do I have?
I was extremely angry. I didn't know what to do.
I couldn't control myself and I hit her.
I hit her very severely.
Later, she couldn't go.
I was also expelled from school.
I know violence doesn't solve anything,
but I didn't know what to do.
I'm a failure.
I'm hungry.
Good. I'm hungry, too. I'll go make dinner.
Hello? Is this the City Hospital?
I want to ask for Chief Physician Song's phone number.
Yes, I have something very important that I need to look for him.
Please provide it to me as soon as possible. Thank you.
Don't worry. Posting those pictures don't mean much.
It could be that Xiaoxiao accidentally got hurt over there and didn't want to take selfies.
Hopefully.
Xiaoxiao, today I asked for the week off.
These next few days, whatever you want to eat,
just let me know and I'll make it for you.
Xiaoxiao.
Pick up the phone.
You're not angry anymore?
Hello? Who is it?
Hello? Chief Physician Song. It's me, Gu Chu.
Have you heard from Xiaoxiao today?
Oh, Gu Chu.
Wait a moment.
Gu Chu, I'm fine.
I didn't go. I'm at home.
What? You're at home?
You didn't go to the Maldives? What's the situation?
It's nothing much. Tian Tian, that kid, hurt my face.
I couldn't go out to see anyone, so I didn't leave the house.
Why did you post on your Moments about you going on your honeymoon?
Your husband didn't even tell me.
Yes.
Sorry, I didn't want to explain so much.
You know, just the stress of being a stepmother.
Sorry. I asked Qihang to keep it a secret from you guys.
You scared me to death. I thought something happened to you.
I'm even on the way to your house to look for you.
No need to come over. I'm fine.
I have been in a bad mood, so I didn't want to leave the house.
I'll treat you to dinner in a few days, okay?
Okay.
Don't stop answering your phone.
Okay. Bye-bye.
Honey, you're the best.
I want to have a few drinks.
I'll go get it.
It took so much time, it's all because of me. I was too anxious.
It's fine. We'll consider it as if we solved a small case.
- Then let's go back and have dinner. - Okay.
Let's go.
What are you doing?
I'm going to get some fruit from the fridge.
I'll go get it.
Honey.
Here. Cheers to our future.
I love you.
Go to sleep first.
Okay.
