Under the Skin Episode 19 Recap
> Under the Skin Recap
The municipal police detective team had received an audio file containing a recording of M's phone call with Du Cheng before her death. In the recording, Du Cheng had threatened to kill M to avenge Lei Yifei. With the help of Tongcheng Group, the surveillance video from the Whig Hotel on the night of the incident had its clarity enhanced, and Du Cheng's figure appeared in the video. Lu Haizhou submitted these two pieces of evidence to his superiors.
Director Zhang decided to temporarily suspend Du Cheng from his duties. The framed Du Cheng voluntarily handed over his work credentials. Afterwards, Director Zhang announced at a meeting that Lu Haizhou would take over the case. Shen Yi questioned Lu Haizhou's purpose for coming to the Beijiang Branch, and Lu Haizhou told him the truth and invited Shen Yi to work at the municipal bureau. Shen Yi declined Lu Haizhou's invitation.
Shen Yi asked Du Cheng to give him a detailed account of his movements on the night of the incident. Shen Yi then worked through the night to draw the scene of the incident. The next day, he recounted the events to everyone. On the night of the incident, Du Cheng arrived at the Whig Hotel and reached the fourth floor when he saw M fall. He looked up and saw the figure of the killer on the fifth floor.
Du Cheng intended to intercept the killer from the fire escape on the fourth floor. After they exchanged blows, Du Cheng was kicked down the stairs. Du Cheng got up and chased after him. They engaged in a fierce struggle again on the second-floor platform. At that time, the camera should have recorded both of their figures, but the video sent to the police station only showed Du Cheng's blurry figure, indicating that the video had been tampered with.
As a result of the struggle, Du Cheng was pushed downstairs by the killer, and the glass on Du Cheng's watch was damaged during this process. Du Cheng fell and lost consciousness, but when he woke up, he realized that this killer was the same person as the one in the photo M had given him—the killer of Lei Yifei, Zhou Jun. Shen Yi's analysis was very convincing to everyone. No one believed that Du Cheng would kill M.
Lu Haizhou had no choice but to dispatch Jiang Feng to take people to control Zhou Jun first. Lu Haizhou questioned Du Cheng, but Du Cheng turned the tables and told Lu Haizhou a story. A mastermind had formed a human trafficking organization, but unexpectedly, Police Officer Lei Yifei found evidence, forcing the mastermind to disband the organization. However, M, a key figure in the organization, betrayed them at this time and took important documents.
After the mastermind found M, they discovered that M was in contact with Police Officer Du Cheng. To eliminate future troubles, the mastermind sent Zhou Jun to kill M and frame Police Officer Du Cheng. Lu Haizhou understood Du Cheng's meaning. Soon after, he received the news of Zhou Jun's death. Before his death, Zhou Jun destroyed the important documents he had obtained from M.
He Rongyue examined the body and found that Zhou Jun's cause of death was photogenic epilepsy. Shen Yi examined the files Li Han recovered from Zhou Jun's computer and discovered a virus file that could make the screen emit a specific flash. According to M's description to Du Cheng, although she had never met the leader of the human trafficking organization, she had heard his voice.
This voice had recently appeared during the speech of Chen Zhou, the general manager of Tongcheng Group. Zhou Jun's computer had stored photos of human trafficking, and it also had the Silver Eagle security system installed. The surveillance at Whig Hotel was technically supported by Tongcheng Group, so only Tongcheng Group could have tampered with the video. Thus, Chen Zhou of Tongcheng Group came into the police's视线 (line of sight).
Since they didn't have a search warrant, everyone was unsure how to enter Tongcheng Group to investigate. Shen Yi proposed that they should force Chen Zhou to expose himself. Du Qing brought Shen Yi to Tongcheng Group under the pretext of discussing cooperation. While the general manager Chen Zhou was absent, the two of them carefully learned about Tongcheng Group's network security system. Shen Yi focused his attention on Chen Zhou's office.
Shen Yi carefully observed the fingerprint password lock on Chen Zhou's office door. Just then, Chen Zhou suddenly appeared. Fortunately, Du Qing stepped in in time to help Shen Yi out of the situation. Chen Zhou invited Du Qing and Shen Yi into the office to talk. Shen Yi seized the opportunity to extract Chen Zhou's fingerprint from a chess piece. Chen Zhou proactively suggested playing a game of chess with Shen Yi, and Du Qing left first.
Chen Zhou's chess style was very aggressive. While playing chess, Shen Yi recounted the human trafficking case and the murders of Lei Yifei and M to Chen Zhou. Shen Yi's action was intended to provoke Chen Zhou into taking action, so that they could find Chen Zhou's weakness.
