Under the Skin Episode 17 Recap
> Under the Skin Recap
Li Weijun encountered Shen Yi at the toy store. He told Shen Yi to call Lin Zhijie back. At this time, SWAT officers had already evacuated the surrounding residents outside the toy store, and Du Cheng also met up with the SWAT team. Seeing the explosives on Li Weijun, Shen Yi had to call Du Cheng.
The SWAT captain told Shen Yi on the phone to turn slightly sideways so that the ready sniper would have a chance to kill Li Weijun, but Shen Yi chose to stand straight, completely blocking Li Weijun. The SWAT captain did not understand Shen Yi's behavior. Du Cheng explained that Li Weijun had the detonator button in his hand, and if he was killed, muscle reflex would cause his hand to trigger the button. Fifteen minutes passed.
Li Weijun knew Lin Zhijie would not come. Just as he was about to press the button, Shen Yi, dripping with sweat, said frankly that he could draw what Li Liankai would look like as an adult. Li Weijun decided to give Shen Yi five minutes. Based on Li Liankai's childhood photos, Shen Yi drew him as an adult. Li Weijun, whose heart was aching for his son, released the hand holding the button and caressed the portrait.
Du Cheng, who had detoured from the roof to the toy store, quietly hid outside the window. Shen Yi seized the opportunity to give Du Cheng a signal. Du Cheng broke through the window and apprehended Li Weijun. Shen Yi then leaped to grab the button that was about to hit the ground. That year, Li Liankai, Zhao Jianyu, Zhang Weifeng, and Liu Xiaochen were in the same group for the summer camp.
Lin Zhijie, who was wandering by the mountain, encountered the group and argued with Li Liankai over a toy. Li Liankai accidentally fell off the cliff while struggling. The four frightened people immediately fled, while Li Weijun always felt that it was their concealment and failure to report that delayed the opportunity to rescue Li Liankai. Lin Zhijie, who finally arrived at the toy store, also deeply regretted his actions back then. He knelt down to Li Weijun to apologize.
What happened during the day made Du Cheng feel a lot. While he was chatting with Shen Yi at the coffee shop, he didn't know that M was sitting behind them. Du Cheng, who returned to the police station to work overtime, found an express package on his desk. At this moment, M called him. In the still-under-construction Whig Hotel, Du Cheng knelt beside a corpse, which was M, who had just fallen to her death from a height.
Du Cheng pried open M's hand and took out a clothing button, then used car window cleaner and sand to clean the traces on the scene. Finally, he closed M's open eyes, picked up the watch on the ground, and left. The police quickly dispatched after receiving the report. After Shen Yi arrived, he confirmed that the deceased was M. He Rongyue stated that M died from falling from a height. Du Cheng arrived at the scene out of breath.
Shen Yi felt that Du Cheng was a bit late. On the way back to the police station, Du Cheng recalled what M said on the phone last night. At that time, M had offered to tell Du Cheng the truth on the condition that Du Cheng protect her safety. Du Cheng's absentmindedness made Shen Yi feel unusual, but Du Cheng still hid it and did not tell the truth.
The video from the Whig Hotel was sent to the police station. Du Cheng sent Li Han away to watch it alone, but he found that his figure did not appear in the video, which was not normal. Shen Yi went to He Rongyue to inquire about the situation. He Rongyue had extracted car window cleaner components at the scene.
During the case analysis meeting, Du Cheng was unusually silent, while Shen Yi, contrary to his usual self, began to analyze the case. Du Cheng asked everyone to investigate according to Shen Yi's line of thought. When Shen Yi went to the trace identification group to understand the situation, he carefully examined several broken watch glasses. He found a scratch on a watch glass, and Du Cheng's watch glass had an identical scratch.
In the office, Du Cheng used the clue left by M to find a small seaside village called Wanggui Village. At this moment, Shen Yi was about to open the surveillance video from the Whig Hotel to check it. Li Han and Jiang Feng interrupted both of them and informed them to go to the conference room for a meeting.
Director Zhang introduced Lu Haizhou, the deputy captain of the Municipal Criminal Police Team, to everyone, stating that he would participate in the investigation of M's murder case. Lu Haizhou asked Du Cheng about the case. Du Cheng stated that there were no biological samples of the killer at the scene, and the autopsy and trace analysis were still in progress. Lu Haizhou felt that the killer of M was the same person who killed Lei Yifei. He did not understand why, after seven years, the case had not yet been solved.
