The Perfect Suspect Episode 1 Recap
> The Perfect Suspect Recap
At dawn, a middle-aged man in Xinggang City received a strange phone call. Following the content of the call, he drove to a construction site, tied a timer bomb to his arm, climbed a tower crane, and subsequently suffered severe mental breakdown and died of fright. The next day, Zheng Gang, captain of the Xinggang City Criminal Police Detachment, received a report, confirming the identity of the deceased as Yang Youmo.
Strangely, the Yang family's misfortune was known to everyone in Xinggang. A few months prior, Yang Youmo's wife died in an accidental fall, followed by the inexplicable death of his young son. Just one week later, his stepdaughter Yang Yan was swept away and disappeared by reservoir flood discharge. A family vanished from the earth like this.
According to the forensic autopsy results, Zheng Gang initially determined that what Yang Youmo was wearing on his arm was not a timer bomb, but an altimeter. Yang Youmo died from this object. Meanwhile, a netizen continuously posted about the motive for the crime on a forum, seemingly manipulating the entire incident. Zheng Gang tracked the IP address and quickly found Zhong Ning who was following the thread in an internet cafe.
Zhong Ning claimed he was the person the criminal police team was looking for. Zheng Gang said nothing and directly handcuffed Zhong Ning back to the police station. Seeing this, Director Zhang Yiming reprimanded Zheng Gang for being absurd. After uncuffing Zhong Ning, he introduced Zhong Ning to several new team members as a former criminal police team member, now a divorce lawyer after leaving the force.
In addition, Zhong Ning is Zheng Gang's brother-in-law, but their relationship is very awkward. Likely related to work, Zhong Ning's wife was assassinated. This incident became a hurdle neither of them could overcome. Given the complexity of the Yang family massacre case, the city established Special Task Force 1103, with Zheng Gang as the team leader. Zheng Gang visited Yang Youmo's mother. Yang's mother adamantly claimed that Zhao Qian was the one who killed her son.
So, he immediately sent people to Zhao Qian's villa, only to hear from the housekeeper that Zhao Qian seemed to be missing. Before this, she had never been on such a long business trip without contact. The Technical Department recovered Yang Youmo's phone data and found a photo taken by Yang Youmo before his death, showing a dashboard with a speed of 154, seemingly pointing to something.
Zheng Gang led people to the place where Yang Youmo lived before he was killed. As soon as they entered the room, they found a dark figure hurrying away. He quickly tracked outside the window and saw that Zhong Ning's car had just driven away. Zheng Gang and Li Keran drove to catch up. The two drove onto the expressway simultaneously as if racing. Zheng Gang guessed that Zhong Ning was imitating Yang Youmo's speed before his death.
After arriving at the construction site, Zheng Gang was about to climb the tower crane when he found that Zhong Ning had located the elevator shaft. He then asked Zhong Ning why he was investigating secretly. Zhong Ning stated that no Xinggang citizen could be indifferent to the Yang family massacre case. In the suburbs, at a landfill, while garbage was being dumped at night, Zhao Qian lay in the garbage pool with her hands and feet tied, struggling desperately.
She was quickly buried by mud washed down by the rain. A man in black was secretly observing nearby. Only after confirming that the mud had completely buried Zhao Qian did he turn and leave.
