The Perfect Suspect Episode 2 Recap
> The Perfect Suspect Recap
As Zhao Qian was being buried by the mud, she accidentally touched a discarded rebar, quietly ground off the ropes tying her hands, and then desperately ran down the mountain. When the man in black saw her, he tried to hit her with his car. Zhao Qian reacted quickly and dodged to the side, accidentally sliding down the mountain, where she was rescued by a passing truck.
As the special task force was preparing for a meeting, they suddenly heard Yang Youmo's phone ring. It was answered and then quickly hung up. Zheng Gang ordered the call location to be immediately pinpointed, then began tracking, finding the signal's last location at Zhao Qian's villa. Upon entering, they found muddy sneakers left in the hall. The housekeeper dared not speak.
Zheng Gang followed the muddy footprints upstairs and asked his assistant to call out Zhao Qian, who was taking a shower. After learning their identity, Zhao Qian concluded that something had happened to Yang Youmo. Following Zheng Gang to the police station, Zhao Qian explained that she had been kidnapped in the suburbs a few days prior while accompanying a client fishing. In the evening, a man in black demanded she call Yang Youmo.
Zhao Qian had no choice but to obey. According to the game instructions issued by the man, she was required to tell Yang Youmo to drive to the construction site at a speed of 154, and then climb to a height of 92 meters. After that, she was injected with drugs and lost consciousness. Zheng Gang once again asked about her relationship with Yang Youmo, but Zhao Qian still explained they were just ordinary friends.
Not getting many answers, Zheng Gang asked Li Keran to intensify the investigation into Zhao Qian's social connections. Zhang Yiming suddenly got into Zhong Ning's car and asked why he was investigating secretly. Zhong Ning spoke evasively. As Zhong Ning's mentor, Zhang Yiming understood his apprentice very well and believed he just wanted to return to the police force by handling cases.
Zhong Ning also wanted to inquire about the case progress, but Zhang Yiming feared violating discipline and refused to disclose anything. Green Cloud Company strengthened security for Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian, however, stated that the people who kidnapped her were not someone ordinary bodyguards could handle. Her assistant suggested that for safety, the charity ball the next evening should ideally be canceled. Zhao Qian disagreed, believing that the more chaotic things were, the less she should lose her composure.
Therefore, she requested that Liu Renkai be notified to attend the ball. The next day, the criminal police team dispersed early, positioning themselves in every corner of Green Cloud Company. When Zhao Qian entered the hall, Zheng Gang discovered that Zhong Ning was following closely behind her. Not long after the ball began, Zhong Ning walked directly up to Zhao Qian and invited her to dance. Liu Renkai had just arrived.
Seeing a strange man talking to Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian not refusing, he wore an expression of dissatisfaction. Zhong Ning and Zhao Qian danced a tango together. Throughout the process, the man was supposed to lead the rhythm, but Zhao Qian completely took control. Zhong Ning reacted quickly, preventing the scene from becoming too awkward. After the song ended, Zhong Ning intentionally mentioned that Zhao Qian attending the ball with injuries must be under significant psychological burden.
Zhao Qian neither explained nor denied it, and after seeing Liu Renkai, she said goodbye to Zhong Ning. Zheng Gang called Zhong Ning aside and instructed him not to participate in the case anymore. Suddenly, they heard Yang's mother shouting loudly outside the door, yelling that Zhao Qian was a monster in human skin and had killed her son's entire family. Zhao Qian walked out of the company and explained that Yang's mother had misunderstood her.
Things were chaotic for a while before everyone dispersed unhappily. Returning home, Zhong Ning carefully watched the scene video. Suddenly, he remembered that a woman named Fang Qinchun had once consulted him about a divorce, mentioning at the time that Zhao Qian had seduced her husband. The next day, Zhong Ning found Fang Qinchun, who was setting up a stall. He brought up the divorce consultation she had previously.
Fang Qinchun said she no longer needed a divorce because her husband was already dead. When asked about Zhao Qian again, Fang Qinchun changed her attitude, stating that Zhao Qian was very kind and often took care of her and her son. Zhong Ning asked his assistant to investigate Fang Qinchun's husband's identity.
He learned that his name was Qian Cheng, a senior executive at Green Cloud Pharmaceutical, who had committed suicide by hanging himself in his office a year prior. No one knew the cause of death, and there were many different opinions on the internet. The most common rumor was that Qian Cheng had embezzled public funds. The investigation still needed to start with Zhang Qiaoyun. Zheng Gang and Zhong Ning arrived at Zhang Qiaoyun's house at the same time.
The gate was open, but there was no one in the room. Zhong Ning followed the footprints on the stairs up to the rooftop. Zhang Qiaoyun was about to jump. Zhong Ning stepped forward and grabbed her, but Zhang Qiaoyun no longer wanted to live and struggled free from Zhong Ning's hand.
Zheng Gang grabbed a quilt from a roadside vendor, called out to several passersby to hold it open, and when Zhang Qiaoyun fell, she landed exactly on the quilt. Zhao Qian guessed that Liu Renkai had arranged to deliberately provoke Zhang Qiaoyun into suicide, so she summoned him in front of her and reprimanded him for his despicable tactics.
