Under the Skin Episode 16 Recap
> Under the Skin Recap
On a rainy night, Wang Xingjun, the watchman at a metal processing plant, received a package, but he hadn't bought anything recently. A huge explosion was heard. The courier who had left after dropping off the package lit a cigarette, and behind him, the watchman's office was engulfed in flames. Du Cheng led the police officers to investigate the scene, only finding a leftover courier box and some toy fragments.
Du Cheng worked late into the night reviewing past unsolved bombing cases. Shen Yi, who was originally going home, decided to stay and look through the case files with Du Cheng. The two worked busy through the night. Finally, at dawn, Shen Yi found that the crime scene photo of a past bombing case also had toy fragments. The first bombing occurred in an apartment building.
The victim, Zhao Jianyu, was severely injured by the explosion and is still in a coma in the hospital. Based on the toy fragments left at the scene, Du Cheng determined that the two cases were committed by the same person. This is very likely a serial bombing case, and Director Zhang ordered Du Cheng to solve the case within a time limit. Jiang Xue reconstructed the bombs used in the two cases.
She believed that when Zhao Jianyu was injured in the first case, the bomber's experience in making bombs was not extensive, but when Wang Xingjun was killed in the second case, the bomber's experience had improved, so the power was much greater than the first time. However, the bombs used in both cases were homemade, and the raw materials were easily obtainable, so continuing the investigation along this path was not very meaningful.
While discussing the case, Du Cheng believed the two cases were targeted retaliation. Jiang Feng investigated and found that Zhao Jianyu and Wang Xingjun worked in the same metal processing plant and had a superior-subordinate relationship. During the visits, Shen Yi found vouchers for Peng Ge's Restaurant in both Zhao Jianyu's and Wang Xingjun's homes.
After investigation, it was learned that Zhao Jianyu and Wang Xingjun had argued with a waiter at Peng Ge's Restaurant not long ago, and this waiter had now been fired by the restaurant manager, Li Hui. Shen Yi suspected that this waiter was the bomber. Du Cheng quickly contacted a bomb disposal expert to rush to Li Hui's home. The bomb disposal expert only found a clock in the express delivery package at Li Hui's home.
At this moment, a car exploded on the cross-sea bridge. The victims of the third bombing were Zhang Weifeng and his girlfriend Gao Miao. Du Cheng rushed to the scene after receiving the report. Shen Yi again found toy fragments at the scene. Meanwhile, Jiang Feng also found the detained waiter in the detention center, thus concluding that he had no time to commit the crime. Zhao Jianyu, the survivor of the first bombing, had woken up.
Du Cheng and Shen Yi went to him to understand the situation, but Zhao Jianyu did not tell the truth. Jiang Feng brought back news that Zhao Jianyu and Zhang Weifeng had participated in the same summer camp during their student years, and both had dropped out of school and gone abroad after the summer camp, only returning to the country recently.
Li Han found that during the summer camp Zhao Jianyu and Zhang Weifeng attended, there was an accident where a student fell off a cliff. Li Liankai, who died from the fall, was in the same group as them. The summer camp arrangement was four people per group, and the remaining person was named Liu Xiaochen. Li Liankai, whose parents were divorced, had lived with his father, Li Weijun, who was a courier.
Du Cheng arrived at Li Weijun's residence with a search warrant. Although he did not catch Li Weijun, he found equipment for making explosives in the attic. Shen Yi found four strange portraits in the room. He planned to take them back to the bureau for careful study. Du Cheng asked him to hand over the unknown medication found at Li Weijun's home to the forensic doctor He Rongyue.
He Rongyue analyzed that the unknown medication was used to treat mental illness. Shen Yi thus learned that Li Weijun suffered from prosopagnosia. Based on the painting characteristics of the four portraits, Shen Yi perfectly restored the portraits of Li Weijun's four targets. He told everyone that Wang Xingjun was not Li Weijun's target; Li Weijun had mistaken Wang Xingjun for Liu Xiaochen because of his prosopagnosia. Jiang Feng thought they should now stake out Liu Xiaochen's home.
Shen Yi suggested staking out the toy store run by Lin Zhijie, the fourth person in the portrait. Although he was not on the summer camp list, he also had a record of going abroad, and Shen Yi firmly believed that the face-blind Li Weijun did not know he had killed the wrong person. Jiang Feng reported the situation to Du Cheng. At this moment, Shen Yi was at the toy store.
