Under the Skin Episode 6 Recap
> Under the Skin Recap
A sound of glass shattering came from Director Zhao's office. Du Cheng and Shen Yi rushed over to check. Sister Wu, the sister of the victim in the marriage fraud murder case, was holding glass shards against her neck. She demanded that Director Zhao immediately execute Chu Yingzi. Director Zhao pacified Sister Wu and promised to investigate the case as soon as possible.
Director Zhang, who was still working at the Chengnan Branch back then, handled three marriage fraud murder cases involving four victims. The suspect, Chu Yingzi, had been apprehended seven years ago. Because she changed her confession during the second trial, claiming that an accomplice coerced her into murder, the case had never been closed.
During this period, several portrait artists attempted to draw the accomplice, but Chu Yingzi's descriptions were different each time, making it impossible to find the accomplice on the run, and the case remained stalled. Du Cheng had heard something about this case. Shen Yi proposed to go and meet Chu Yingzi. Du Cheng felt that Chu Yingzi was just using the portrait artists to stall for time, and he had no hope for Shen Yi's portrait.
Someone in the women's prison was about to be executed, which frightened the other female inmates. Only Chu Yingzi remained calm. She knew that as long as the police couldn't catch the accomplice who was still at large, she wouldn't be sentenced to death. Shen Yi arrived at the prison by taxi. When Chu Yingzi learned that a man wanted to see her, she bit her finger and smeared the blood on her lips.
Chu Yingzi chatted with Shen Yi, carefully controlling her expression. Shen Yi did not hide his view that Chu Yingzi was indeed very beautiful. Chu Yingzi claimed she was even more beautiful when she was twelve or thirteen. While they were chatting, Shen Yi drew a portrait of Chu Yingzi when she was twelve or thirteen. After learning the purpose of Shen Yi's visit, Chu Yingzi cooperated and described the appearance of her accomplice.
Shen Yi told Chu Yingzi to stop lying. Chu Yingzi described the accomplice's appearance again, but Shen Yi still saw through the flaws. Shen Yi warned Chu Yingzi that her accomplice being on the run would only plunge her into endless torment. Shen Yi gave the portrait of twelve or thirteen-year-old Chu Yingzi to Chu Yingzi.
He told Chu Yingzi that a woman who had killed someone and lost her kindness could no longer move anyone, especially since with the passage of time, beauty was also slowly leaving her. Shen Yi turned to leave. Chu Yingzi looked at her portrait and called out to Shen Yi. Chu Yingzi recalled that the last time she saw her accomplice was the day she was arrested; the accomplice was mixed in the crowd, watching her from a distance.
Finally, based on Chu Yingzi's description, Shen Yi successfully drew the portrait of the accomplice on the run. Chu Yingzi looked at the portrait with a complex expression. She smeared the blood from her fingertip on the eyes of the portrait. Du Cheng used the new case system to review Captain Lei's case. Just then, he received a portrait from Shen Yi. Li Han entered the portrait into the computer for comparison.
They found that the person was named Cao Dong. When Shen Yi left the prison, he couldn't find a taxi. A man driving a black car approached him, soliciting business. Shen Yi got into this black car. Shen Yi, who always fell asleep in the car, was no exception this time. Just as he was drowsy, he suddenly saw the driver's eyes in the rearview mirror; these eyes were exactly the same as the portrait he had drawn.
Jiang Feng called to ask Shen Yi why he hadn't returned yet. Shen Yi hinted at the situation. Du Cheng, realizing something was wrong, took the phone. Shen Yi used painting terms to hint that he was in danger. Cao Dong saw the portrait Shen Yi had drawn. He took Shen Yi to a remote area. Cao Dong greedily sniffed the scent of Chu Yingzi's blood.
He asked Shen Yi to draw him a portrait of Chu Yingzi as she was now. After Shen Yi finished drawing, he was tied up by Cao Dong. Afterward, Cao Dong took Shen Yi towards the riverbank. At the same time, Li Han tracked Cao Dong's car and Shen Yi's phone signal. Du Cheng drove alone to the location indicated by Shen Yi's phone signal, but he only found the phone that Cao Dong had thrown away.
Du Cheng tracked Cao Dong's car tracks to the riverbank, but by then, Shen Yi had already been thrown into the river by Cao Dong. Du Cheng fired a warning shot, telling Cao Dong to surrender. The vicious Cao Dong struggled with Du Cheng. Finally, Du Cheng subdued Cao Dong. Shen Yi was rescued by Du Cheng and finally woke up after several days of intensive care. Lin Min was concerned about Shen Yi. She didn't understand why Shen Yi, who could have had a promising future in the art world, would choose this path.
