Several days have passed, can we still find any traces?
If the killer took the stairs up,
they would have left a lot of footprints.
Nobody comes to clean and there aren't many people.
We'll test our luck!
The ground has a lot of dust. Not many people have stepped on it so we should have a chance.
These aren't any fingerprints. Perhaps a person who was wearing gloves wiped the railing.
This is the middle of the 5th floor and Cen Yun's house is on the 6th floor.
The killer probably stopped here for a bit,
waiting for an opportunity. Perhaps,
during this time, he saw her go up to the roof.
My aunt doesn't normally interact much with others.
She doesn't play Mahjong.
I can't think of anyone who she has had a feud with.
No matter how I think about it, there's only Qin Su.
We've analyzed this issue.
To murder over an argument, the possibility isn't very high.
Moreover, she has an alibi.
A witness took a picture. The killer was a man.
Could it be a hired hitman?
Based on her status and power, she doesn't need to do it personally.
Of course, that's possible.
Xiao Chu, try to think.
Other than arguing with Auntie Qin, did anything recently happen?
Something related to your aunt or the Gu family?
[Episode 24]
That woman is a b*tch. She dared to hit my mom.
Did she die? She deserved it.
Haoran, don't talk like that.
This is my son, Lu Haoran.
- Mr. Lu was also there at the scene? - He was there.
Her sister and brother-in-law's business failed, so they went bankrupt and committed suicide.
She blamed it on our Lu family.
What kind of logic is that? When she's unhappy, she can just hit anybody?
The police don't care.
- Haoran. - She can hit whomever she wants,
just not my mother.
Haoran, don't talk badly of the dead.
Don't mention this incident anymore.
Ms. Qin, yesterday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.,
where were you? What were you doing?
I was at a spa. Why?
Where?
At a spa club.
Are you guys suspecting my mom?
Mr. Lu, last night at the same time,
where were you?
He was playing golf.
At a golf course in the western suburbs.
- Go to that spa club and golf course to verify. - Okay.
Did you find the number who reported the accident yet?
Yes, I did. That phone number was registered to a man with the last name of Zhou.
But the phone is turned off and the last signal location was somewhere near the crime scene.
- Tell Meng Meng to look into it. - Okay.
Entered a private room at 4:54 p.m.
Left the private room at 6:21 p.m.
Leader Luo, when the incident occurred, Lu Haoran was really playing golf.
This is an odd case of a death from a fall.
Looking on the surface, it appears to be an accident.
But according to a call to the authorities from a male eyewitness with the last name of Zhou,
he said that he saw the victim get pushed down.
So, whether this case is
suicide, accident, or homicide,
it currently requires our urgent attention.
Beichen, I want to listen to your autopsy report.
I want to know how you see it from your perspective as a medical examiner.
Yes, Chief Chen. Meng Meng.
Victim: Cen Yun. Female. 49 years old.
The time of death was on September 15th, 2018. Around 6:00 p.m.
The victim fell from Unit 17 in the Baohu neighborhood. The cause of death is brain damage.
Coupled with sudden blood loss.
The victim's body did not have anybody else's DNA.
On her clothes, we only found a few cat hairs.
But it has been proven that the cat hairs originated from the cats she's been raising.
From the blood test, there wasn't any detection of poison or medications.
Simply put, we can't make a determination from the corpse
that the deceased was pushed down from the roof.
Deaths from falling are really hard to determine.
But at least we know that before the victim died,
she didn't come into close physical contact with anyone.
But you can't eliminate the possibility that the murderer might have worn gloves
to push her down.
That's possible.
Luo Chi, how's the situation on your end?
I'm leaning towards investigating for homicide.
But we still don't have enough evidence.
This building's only surveillance camera is in the elevator.
I've thoroughly checked it, but I didn't find anybody suspicious.
Gao Jin.
When the incident occurred, we began questioning neighbors in the area.
They all said that they didn't see any strangers or hear any large movements.
Everybody, take a look at Cen Yun's phone records.
On the day of the fall, the same number called her tens of times.
But she only answered once. We called the number to ask.
It was an employee of a shared company requesting repair to a storehouse.
Her stocks are short more than ¥3,000,000.
Is it possible that she committed suicide due to financial pressure?
Investigate more specifically her financial situation.
- ¥3,000,000 is not a small number. - We're investigating it right now.
There's still one more clue.
The victim had an altercation with Lu Zhenyang's wife, Qin Su, and their son.
Cen Yun, in a public place, slapped Qin Su in the face.
You mean Lu Inc.'s Lu Zhenyang?
That's right! Lu Beichen's father.
Moreover, when we investigated Qin Su and her son, Lu Haoran,
they both have alibis.
I personally think that killing someone over a slap, the possibility isn't too high.
If homicide wasn't it, then suicide also cannot be justified.
It's because if a person wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a roof,
why would they be concerned with drying their clothes?
Much less carry her house keys.
She probably wanted to finish hanging her clothes and get back home.
There's still another point. Meng Meng.
According to what I know about the victim, she likes to dress up and keep face.
If she wanted to die, I don't think she would've chosen such an unsightly way to die.
Compared to suicide, I'm more inclined to think she accidentally fell.
According to the current clues,
it is hard to conclude that the victim committed suicide,
homicide, or accidental death.
Unless we discover the eyewitness who tipped the police.
Mr. Zhou, I am Officer Luo who just called.
At that time, I was looking from this window
and saw the roof on the other side.
At that time, I saw across from here
there was a woman who was reaching for something.
Then a man appeared from behind and pushed her.
Then, her entire person fell off the building.
At that time, I was scared to death.
What did that man look like? What kind of clothes was he wearing? Do you remember?
He wore black clothes and a hat.
At that time, I couldn't see clearly what he looked like.
But after he pushed the lady, he left immediately.
I was still thinking about whether I should report the crime or not.
How can you prove what you just said?
I took a picture.
Took a picture? That's not possible, right?
How did you take a picture in a split second?
Could it be that you have the ability to see premonitions of crimes?
No, no, no... At that time, I was taking a picture of a magpie.
That magpie descended on my roof.
When I took out my camera, at the moment I snapped the photo,
the magpie flew away.
I captured what happened on the roof over there.
- Can we take a look at the picture? - Yes.
Mr. Zhou, can we add your WeChat contact later?
No problem. Go ahead.
We can basically confirm that it was a homicide.
But we didn't find it in the elevator footage.
There's only one possibility.
- Get Guo Jin on the scene. - Okay.
It has been several days, can we still find traces?
If the killer took the stairs up,
then they definitely would have left a lot of footprints.
No one is here to clean and there aren't many people.
We'll test our luck!
The ground has dust and there aren't many people who stepped on it.
We should have a chance.
They're not fingerprints. It's probably from someone who wore gloves to wipe the railing.
We are halfway passed the 5th floor and Cen Yun is on the 6th floor.
The killer probably stopped here for a bit.
He was possibly waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Perhaps at this time, he spotted Cen Yun going up to the roof.
Leader Luo, I found something. It's probably something left by the murderer.
Foreign cigarettes. Take it back.
Okay.
An An, please help me take a look
See if you can detect any valid DNA.
I can't guarantee. We'll have to see our luck.
Luo Chi is looking for you to understand Auntie's situation prior to her death.
Since finding out that someone pushed Auntie down, I'm going to fully cooperate.
I hope that they can quickly find the murderer.
My auntie doesn't interact with others often and also doesn't play Mahjong.
I really can't think of anyone she has had a feud with.
I can only think of Qin Su.
Yes, I am a little biased against her.
This problem, we have also thought over.
It's because that the possibility of killing someone over an argument is small.
Also, she has an alibi.
The picture taken by the eyewitness shows that the murderer was a man.
Looking at the photo, it doesn't seem to be Lu Haoran.
Could it be a hired killer?
Based on her status and power, she wouldn't have to personally do it.
Of course, that's possible.
Xiao Chu, please think it over.
If there has been anything else that has happened aside from the argument with Ms. Qin
that revolves around your auntie or the Gu family.
Oh yeah! Her stocks are at a loss.
But you've confirmed that she didn't commit suicide.
Moreover, I haven't seen her distressed.
This must not be the reason.
Is it possible that there are other issues?
[I know who caused your parents to commit suicide after that dinner gathering.]
Right, there is something.
The day before Auntie's birthday, a person left a message to the online shop.
Said that my parents' deaths were caused by the Lu family.
So that means you knew before I told you.
Now that I think about it, it's quite odd.
The person who left the message has a hidden agenda.
Would this be related to my auntie's death?
I know who that person is.
I know why you came to find me.
That's right! It was me.
I was the one who sent Gu Chu the secret message.
Then I still want to ask.
Then, how come you told me not to tell Gu Chu at the beginning?
Because I don't want to see you two together.
- No, I do like you... - But it's not that kind of "like."
I know very clearly. When it comes to feelings, there isn't any way to force them.
If you have them, then you have them. If you don't, then you don't.
That's why I didn't tell you.
Best friends can be forever.
If I had said it, it isn't certain that we could still be friends.
Thank you for being a good friend.
But what you did to Gu Chu, I really can't understand.
Because I can't continue acting.
I can't lie to myself that I'm gracious and don't care.
Actually, I am not gracious and I care a lot. I'm jealous of Gu Chu.
I admire your honesty and genuineness.
Thank you.
I sent an anonymous message to Gu Chu via the online shop.
My objective was to break you two up.
I never thought that she actually forgave you.
Do you know Gu Chu's aunt, Cen Yun?
She died.
How did you know?
I was there the day she fell from the building.
What?
That day, I went to find Cen Yun planning to tell her that I was your girlfriend.
But I never thought I would witness that scene.
I was really astonished and didn't know what to say to Gu Chu.
In the end, I just quietly left.
Right when I was about to leave the crowd, a man accidentally bumped into me.
I thought it was quite strange.
When he circled up to observe the scene, his reaction was unusual.
Just taking a glimpse and then leaving immediately after.
Almost like he knew what had happened and just wanted to confirm it.
Do you remember his face?
He was wearing a baseball cap. More than half of his face was covered.
Meng Meng said that when the incident happened,
there was a large crowd of people who took videos and posted it online.
That's right! But last time, we didn't look at them carefully.
- Look them up. - Okay.
It's that guy who's wearing a baseball cap.
It's him.
I would like to see footage from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. on September 16th
for Hubao Neighborhood gate's street surveillance.
Leader Luo, it's there.
Note the license plate and follow that car. See where he's going.
[Bojin Garden Hotel]
Bojin Garden Hotel.
Hello. Police.
Please check for me if the man in the photo lives at this hotel.
- I believe so. I remember he wears cross-shaped earrings. - What else?
Please look up his registration information.
Okay.
Is it him?
Chen Xing. A Chinese-American.
He is a long-term resident at this hotel. He came back from America.
He stays in Room 8923.
- Is he here right now? - This, I don't know.
Bring me up to take a look.
Do a quick search. He will be back at any time.
- Yes. - Yes.
It's the same brand as the one found in the stairwell.
It's him.
[Domperidone tablets] (T/N: medicine for stomach disorders)
Guo Chao.
On the victim's body, nobody else's DNA was found.
There were some cat hairs on her clothes.
Also, the weather was not cold, why is he wearing gloves?
Look to see if there are any black gloves.
Gao Jin.
Leader Luo.
Take a fiber sample of the pant pocket to bring back.
And of other dark-colored trousers.
Yes.
[Lucky Strike]
Leader Luo.
He will probably come back. Get more people
to guard the hotel entrances and exits.
[Bojin Garden Hotel]
Xiao Wang, what's the situation?
Everything's normal.
- Stay alert. - Copy.
Leader Luo, do we have enough coverage?
It's easy to slack now.
- Liven up. - Don't worry.
- Got it. - Don't worry, Leader Luo.
Leader Luo, a taxi has shown up.
The suspect has appeared.
Meng Meng, be careful!
- Don't move! - Don't move! Don't move!
Remove your hat and sunglasses.
Slowly.
From Bojin Garden Hotel's guest information,
Chen Xing used his US Passport to check into the hotel.
From July 21st until now, that's almost two months' time.
Look at his entry and departure information, Chen Xing often travels between Yao Island and China.
On average, 6 to 7 times a year.
According to the information from the international police, Chen Xing has been accused of narcotics possession.
In the end, he paid a settlement to end the lawsuit.
After we surveyed the hotel, Chen Xing hasn't appeared.
But we discovered a really important piece of evidence.
His pant pocket fibers were moist.
- Gao Jin. - Chen Xing's pant pocket fiber
and the fiber collected on the victim's body are a match, including the cat hair.
Also, the cigarette butt found in the stairwell when the incident happened
and the cigarette butts and hair discovered from Bojin Garden Hotel Room 8923 are a match.
Their DNA are identical. From this, we can conclude
that Chen Xing was the person who pushed Cen Yun off the roof.
Also, a photo was taken by an eyewitness
and the videos posted by the crowd on-scene can corroborate that
Chen Xing is the killer.
Unfortunately, he's escaped.
Did we find anything from the hotel's surveillance footage?
Meng Meng.
In these two months, Chen Xing hasn't met with anyone at the hotel
except for her.
This woman, on September 13th at little past 5:00 p.m.,
went back with Chen Xing to his hotel room.
When she left, it was a little after 8:00 p.m.
It appears that she and Chen Xing got into an argument.
After she left the hotel, the street surveillance doesn't show where she went specifically. But presently,
we can confirm that she is the only person affiliated with Chen Xing.
We found a few fingerprints in Chen Xing's hotel room.
We can confirm that two of them belong to housekeeping.
As to which was left behind by the woman, we are still not sure.
If we can find this woman, we will find Chen Xing.
Also, we didn't find any cell phones, computers, or communication devices in Chen Xing's hotel room.
And we didn't find him calling from the hotel room.
Did he register a local cell number?
I used his passport number to look it up. He didn't use his real name to register.
But that doesn't rule out that he used an American cell number to register.
However, we have no way of searching.
Meng Meng, did Cen Yun's phone records
have any contact from non-local or other suspicious numbers?
No, I've checked again. There are no suspicious numbers.
So I think she and Chen Xing have no direct relationship.
I have asked Gu Chu. She hasn't ever heard
her Auntie, Cen Yun, mention Chen Xing.
If Chen Xing and Cen Yun have no connection, what would be his motive to kill?
He must be a hired hitman.
I remember Jia Yue mentioning
she noticed Chen Xing make a phone call when he left the scene.
Hypothetically speaking...
If this really was a hired hitman,
could this call have been to report back to the client?
Chen Xing is from Los Angeles.
The Lu family is also from Los Angeles.
Even though Qin Su and Lu Haoran have alibis,
if they were to hire a hitman, they don't need to be at the scene.
These two need to be investigated again.
Chen Xing is a dangerous person.
Quickly locate his hideout and bring him back to justice.
Yes!!
Wait a moment.
Meng Meng, look up Qin Su and Lu Haoran's phone records.
They both use international phones. I'll need to contact the American operators to obtain this information.
It'll require some time. I can't tell how long though.
Why don't we subpoena Qin Su?
Let's not alert them quite yet. They're not currently suspects.
Lao Lu.
What's wrong?
I want to ask you for a favor.
How coincidental. I also wanted to look for you to buy me dinner.
Okay. Old rules.
Okay. Come.
5-star hotel buffet, Leader Luo is paying.
Thank you, Leader Luo!
I don't eat Japanese food.
I won't go. I don't want to see her.
When I think about Auntie's death is somehow related to her, I just...
I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself. If you want to go, go by yourself.
Xiao Chu, we are going this time
to find the facts about Auntie's case.
I can't do this on my own. I need your help.
Hello, Auntie Qin.
What kind of happy occasion is it today?
- Hello, Auntie. - Why did you two come together?
Xiao Chu told me that her auntie came to find you
and started an unpleasant situation.
She didn't feel at ease so she wanted to come and see you.
It's okay. Hurry, come in.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Gu Chu, when Beichen's coworker
came to ask questions, that's when I found out
that your auntie passed away. Truthfully speaking,
I don't know how to comfort you.
My aunt's death made me think a lot.
Nothing is certain in life. Nobody knows what can happen tomorrow.
I don't want to leave this life carrying so much weight.
Before, your auntie and I experienced some unpleasantries.
I also couldn't help it.
Your auntie yelled at me and hit me.
I won't hold it in my heart.
Everyone has their angry moments. Sometimes, they will overstep.
Hadn't I acted the same way with you earlier?
Last time,
I want to apologize for speaking so harshly.
I should also apologize to you.
I've always held a bias against you.
What are you two apologizing for?
I'm talking about myself.
Do you think that I want to break up the two of you?
That's your dad's doing.
Actually that day when you rushed in to grab her away,
I got emotional.
I was also young once.
When I was young,
I never met a man
that cared for me the way you do her regardless of everything.
Okay. The situation has already passed.
I've also spoken with your dad to not get involved with the past.
The youth of today have the freedom to love.
No couple would break up after just a few words.
Auntie Qin, you are quite sensible.
You shouldn't blame your father. Just consider this.
You've found such a beautiful and sensible girl,
that's your fortune.
I definitely will.
Auntie Qin, you needn't praise me.
I'm being honest.
Gu Chu, please treat me like your own family member.
Please treat Beichen well.
Why don't you exchange WeChat contacts? That way you can connect more often.
- Okay. - Okay.
[124795]
Help me add your contact.
When I got back, I never switched to a local number.
Calling isn't as convenient. Using WeChat is a lot more convenient.
Gu Chu, if you have the chance to go to America,
let me know ahead of time.
Okay. Thank you, Auntie.
Oh right, Auntie Qin. Can I ask
if you are using some sort of perfume? It's quite fragrant.
Yes, it's quite graceful.
What brand is it? Let me know so I can get some for Gu Chu.
No need to buy some.
I have several bottles. Let me gift you one.
- Auntie Qin, you don't need to. - Thank you, Auntie Qin.
- Beichen. - Brother Yong.
You guys sit here first. I'll be back soon.
- Okay. - Okay.
124795.
Go keep guard.
[Recent Calls]
What's the situation?
He's in Pinghai.
