Under the Skin Episode 5 Recap
> Under the Skin Recap
To determine the time when the skull was replaced, Shen Yi found all the students' skull drawing works, and several of the paintings had the same date as Ren Xiaoxuan's diary. He found that the weather on April Fool's Day recorded in Ren Xiaoxuan's diary did not match the weather at that time.
Du Cheng felt that perhaps Tian Lin had misremembered, but Shen Yi carefully analyzed the influence of light and humidity on painting and concluded that Ren Xiaoxuan's diary was lying, and all of these diaries happened to have descriptions about that boy. According to the skeletal examination, He Rongyue determined that Ren Xiaoxuan's fatal wound came from a knife to the chest. Also, no toxic substances were found in Ren Xiaoxuan's bones or the surrounding soil.
However, the composition of banyan flowers and soil components not belonging to the playground were found in the pelvis, and Du Cheng deduced that Ren Xiaoxuan's primary crime scene was not on the playground. Du Cheng showed Ren Xiaoxuan's paintings to Shen Yi. A large number of banyan trees appeared in the paintings, and a red lip print was even retained in one of the paintings with two banyan trees.
Shen Yi inadvertently discovered that another lip print was superimposed on the red lip print, so he traced the invisible lip print. Du Cheng felt that this lip print looked more like a woman's lips. Shen Yi modified the previous portrait based on the lip structure, and the character finally presented in front of them was Qu Lanxin. According to the clues, the police quickly found the two banyan trees in the painting.
Forensic doctors and trace personnel found a utility knife buried in the soil between the banyan trees and extracted blood from the soil. Qu Lanxin, having cut her long hair, stood on the roof of the teaching building. Du Cheng and Shen Yi and others rushed to the scene after hearing the news. Qu Lanxin proposed to talk to Shen Yi alone. Shen Yi, who was afraid of heights, carefully walked to Qu Lanxin's side.
Qu Lanxin told Shen Yi her story with Ren Xiaoxuan. Qu Lanxin had liked to cut her hair short and play basketball since she was a child, so she had always been regarded as an outlier, but she didn't care. When Ren Xiaoxuan was molested by Zhao Zipeng, it was Qu Lanxin's appearance that saved Ren Xiaoxuan. Since then, Ren Xiaoxuan developed a dependent relationship with Qu Lanxin.
Ren Xiaoxuan silently guarded Qu Lanxin's side, and Qu Lanxin also understood Ren Xiaoxuan who was bullied. The two accompanied each other like this. After Ren Xiaoxuan transferred to another school, the two often met under the banyan tree, but Qu Lanxin gradually discovered that Ren Xiaoxuan's feelings for her were not friendship. Qu Lanxin just looked like a boy on the outside, and her heart was still a pure girl.
In order to get Ren Xiaoxuan out of the illusion, Qu Lanxin wore a skirt to meet Ren Xiaoxuan. She hoped that Ren Xiaoxuan could face their friendship squarely. In a sad life, Ren Xiaoxuan's only hope was Qu Lanxin. When Qu Lanxin broke all of this, Ren Xiaoxuan also lost the courage to live. She stabbed herself with a utility knife. Qu Lanxin tried to rescue Ren Xiaoxuan but was stopped by Ren Xiaoxuan.
Because she was afraid and did not dare to report the case, Qu Lanxin buried Ren Xiaoxuan under the banyan tree. A few years later, Qu Lanxin returned to the school as a teacher. In order to get Ren Xiaoxuan closer to her, she transferred Ren Xiaoxuan's bones to the playground, and the skull was replaced in the art room.
Shen Yi persuaded Qu Lanxin to accept the trial, and the forensic doctor would examine Ren Xiaoxuan's cause of death, and she would get a fair result. Qu Lanxin was handcuffed. Before leaving, she asked Shen Yi to help her complete the unfinished line drawing. Lei Yifei's death anniversary arrived, and Du Cheng went to the Beijiang Yacht Club Building to mourn him.
Many of Shen Yi's paintings were left on the walls of the Beijiang Yacht Club Building, including Lei Yifei's portrait. Lin Min also came here. Du Cheng remembered that when he was investigating Lei Yifei's murder case, he had seen her by Shen Yi's side. After Lei Yifei's case happened, Shen Yi fell into remorse. He told Lin Min that he wanted to become a person who could change the outcome. Shen Yi burned all his works.
Lin Min wanted to persuade him, but since then Shen Yi disappeared from the art circle and his whereabouts were unknown. The sister of the victim of the marriage fraud murder case went to the police station to find Director Zhao. Fei Jie tried to stop her. Shen Yi happened to pass by. Fei Jie asked him to help her draw a blackboard newspaper, and the content of this blackboard newspaper was all about Shen Yi. Du Cheng complained that Shen Yi was narcissistic.
