> Under the Skin Season 2 Recap

Girl Zhang Sijing has been missing for over a week. Her parents looked for her with rescue personnel using drones around the mountain village. They didn't find her, but they accidentally discovered a bone pit. Du Cheng brought the police team over and was led to the bone pit by the rescue personnel who discovered the bones. This place is rumored to be Suicide Valley, and unexpectedly, the rumor turned out to be true.

Without professional equipment, ordinary people cannot get to the bottom of the pit, and naturally, they wouldn't know there were so many human bones here. After a brief examination, He Rongyue determined that these deceased likely fell from the cliff above. Due to the large amount of rubble at the bottom of the pit, the condition of these shattered bones was far more gruesome than those from high-altitude falls in the city.

The environment at the bottom of the pit was humid, accelerating the decomposition rate of the bodies. She initially judged the time of death from three to ten years ago. Reconstructing the appearance of the deceased in this situation is not an easy task, but Shen Yi was willing to try. He pieced together several shattered skulls and unexpectedly found a crabapple tree not far away, with a skeleton that was clearly not an adult lying beside the crabapple tree.

After piecing it together and preliminary judgment, He Rongyue stated that this skeleton belonged to a girl of about eight years old, who died from a fall seven to ten years ago. The bones of the other adults were scattered, but this child's skeleton was relatively intact. She likely slowed down after being scraped by trees on the cliff face, and after falling, didn't die immediately but crawled a distance towards the crabapple tree.

The crabapple tree grew from the girl's hand. At that time, the girl must have been holding a crabapple fruit in her hand. This crabapple fruit was clearly very important to her, as she did not let go of it even in death. The local police told Jiang Feng that this mountain is called Fengdu Mountain, and a special spectacle can be seen from the mountaintop.

A few years ago, it was photographed by netizens and uploaded online, and netizens called it 'clouds steaming and mist glowing'. Many tourists came to check in, but because the terrain of Fengdu Mountain is relatively complex and it hasn't been developed, many people have gone missing or died from falls, making rescue difficult. A villager who is quite familiar with Fengdu Mountain is called Chang Feng. He is a young man.

His sister fell from the mountain years ago, and he has remained single ever since. At Du Cheng's request, Chang Feng took him up the mountain. During the ascent, Du Cheng nearly fell into a pit filled with tree thorns, but Chang Feng pulled him up in time.

Under Chang Feng's guidance, Du Cheng reached Fengdu Mountain safely after a scare and saw the so-called 'clouds steaming and mist glowing', but Chang Feng said there was actually a sea of flowers as well. Shen Yi and He Rongyue at the bottom of the pit finished their classification work for the day and were preparing to leave.

Shen Yi suddenly noticed that the layout at the bottom of the pit was somewhat strange and immediately drew the scene before him. The police team set up tents in an open area and conducted their investigation on the spot. Chang Feng came uninvited. Considering that the eight-year-old girl might be his sister, Shen Yi showed the portrait to Chang Feng for identification. Chang Feng confirmed that it was his sister Xiaojuan.

The crabapple fruit she was holding that year was given to her by a climbing team. Chang Feng bowed to the police officers to express his gratitude and took Du Cheng and Shen Yi to his home to see some belongings left by the suicide victims. Based on Chang Feng's description, Shen Yi drew portraits of the owners of those belongings and asked Du Cheng to take them back for comparison. Shen Yi was not in a hurry to leave.

He wanted to stay and, with Chang Feng's permission, visit his home. Shen Yi tried to get Chang Feng to imagine what his home would be like if his sister were still alive. Chang Feng used materials at hand, decorating with items like dried chili peppers and matchsticks. He quickly arranged them. After seeing this, Shen Yi couldn't help but look up and take a deep look at Chang Feng.
