Under the Skin Episode 9 Recap
> Under the Skin Recap
The mysterious woman took a childhood photo of Lei Yifei to ask Shen Yi to draw a portrait. After the portrait was finished, Shen Yi was pushed into the water and lost his memory of the mysterious woman's appearance. The scene where Lei Yifei's body was dumped after he was killed had that portrait.
Du Cheng took Shen Yi to see the cabinet in his office, which contained a photo of Lei Yifei and him, as well as the case file of Lei Yifei's last solved case. Back then, Du Cheng, who was in his rebellious phase, was hanging out on the streets. It was Lei Yifei's appearance and help that made him find the meaning of life. Eventually, Du Cheng became a master and apprentice fighting alongside Lei Yifei.
Seven years ago, Lei Yifei was commended for solving the beauty salon abduction case. Although there were strict protective measures, the accomplices in the case still found Lei Yifei's childhood photo and learned what Lei Yifei looked like as an adult through Shen Yi's hands. Du Cheng invited Lei Yifei to dinner, and Lei Yifei was killed while he was out that night. Du Cheng had always felt guilty about this.
Years of guilt and anger had coiled around Du Cheng's heart like a venomous snake. Du Cheng had treated Shen Yi as an outlet for his emotions. Now, seeing Shen Yi in the same pain, Du Cheng suddenly felt relieved. He also hoped that Shen Yi could let go of the burden. Shen Yi, who was pushed into the water by Cao Dong, recalled the mysterious woman's blurry figure.
Shen Yi still wanted to try once more to put himself in a near-death state. After struggling, Shen Yi, who jumped into the water from a high platform, quickly entered a subtle state. Du Cheng pulled Shen Yi ashore. Shen Yi still couldn't draw the mysterious woman's appearance. Du Cheng told him not to push himself too hard. After Shen Yi returned home, he picked up oil paints and started painting on the canvas.
After a night passed, a woman's face appeared on the painting. After big data screening, no one matched the portrait provided by Shen Yi. Shen Yi felt that there was something wrong with his portrait. Du Cheng said he believed in Shen Yi's portrait, especially since many people's photo information was not in the big database. A robbery occurred at Jiu Fu Jewelry. Du Cheng found a drop of blood at the scene.
After ballistic expert Jiang Xue studied the bullets and shooting trajectory in the Jiu Fu Jewelry robbery case, she found that the firearm used in this case was the same one used in the Hua Chang Jewelry robbery case seven years ago, and the Hua Chang Jewelry robbery case had never been solved. Director Zhang ordered Du Cheng to solve the case within seventy-two hours and instructed all police officers to carry firearms.
Du Cheng accompanied Shen Yi, who was unfamiliar with shooting, to the shooting range to practice. According to the surveillance footage outside the crime scene, it was found that the robber was very familiar with the escape route. Shen Yi believed that this robbery case must have been premeditated. Du Cheng decided to expand the scope and time of the investigation. He Hong reported to the police that her husband, Mu Wei, was missing.
The police went to collect Mu Wei's daily necessities. He Rongyue discovered through DNA testing that the bloodstain left at the scene of the Jiu Fu Jewelry robbery belonged to Mu Wei. Du Cheng led people to He Hong's home to investigate and happened to encounter Teacher Xue, who teaches art, bringing Mu Xiao'an home. He Hong hoped that Du Cheng would not let her daughter, Mu Xiao'an, know about Mu Wei's disappearance.
Li Han found records of online ticket purchases using Li Zhiqiang's identity on Mu Wei's computer. After visiting, Du Cheng learned that Li Zhiqiang had been paralyzed for many years and that his ID card had been sold by his mother. The computer screensaver at He Hong's home was very colorful, and the color contrast on the TV was also abnormal. Shen Yi realized that Mu Wei was colorblind.
When escaping, the robber crossed the road and observed the traffic lights like a normal person. Therefore, the robber must not be Mu Wei, who suffers from color blindness. Shen Yi realized that the robber deliberately copied the Jiu Fu Jewelry robbery case from the Hua Chang Jewelry robbery case and intentionally left Mu Wei's blood at the scene of the Jiu Fu Jewelry robbery to frame Mu Wei for the case.
Through Mu Xiao'an's drawing, Shen Yi discovered that Mu Xiao'an's inner state was often depressed. Teacher Xue stated that Mu Xiao'an's parents were not getting along well. By visiting Mu Wei's neighbors, Du Cheng discovered that Mu Wei not only loved drinking and gambling but also told his card friends that Mu Xiao'an was not his biological daughter. Du Cheng decided to include He Hong in the investigation as well.
At this moment, the witness of the Jiu Fu Jewelry robbery case was brought to the police station. The witness, who had previously suffered a gunshot wound, had his cheek pierced by the robber's gun again this time, which made him somewhat frightened. Shen Yi drew a portrait of the robber based on his description, but the witness did not dare to confirm it.
