Episode 10 recap: A female celebrity was brutally murdered.
Xiao Yi received a video at the bureau and watched it together with Dou Zi Lin. It showed someone burying a body, exactly at the location where they discovered the corpse today. Ma Xingbang was introducing a technology park project to the reporters when the members of the economic investigation team arrived. They informed him that there had been a report regarding irregularities in the financial records of his subsidiary, and they took him away for further investigation.
Bai Zhe was watching from upstairs. When Mr. Yang, the boss, learned about the incident, he instructed his son, Yang Tianyi, to spread the news even more widely. A blogger went up the mountain at night and stumbled upon a female corpse right here, which frightened him immensely. Chief Li called Xiao Yi and instructed him to hand over the Zhao Youmin case to the second team and focus all efforts on solving the female corpse case. This case has garnered significant attention online, so Xiao Yi was urged to solve it as quickly as possible.
Chief Li inquired about the person who provided the video to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi explained that the surveillance footage only captured a side profile, but it should be the same person involved in the explosion case. Chief Li stated that if the person were to appear again, they needed to understand his motives. Ma Xingbang came out, and Mr. Yang called him, informing him that many bosses were planning to withdraw from the technology park project.
Ma Xingbang became extremely angry, as he had not expected Mr. Yang to dare threaten him. Xing Man was distributing flyers in the area, and Bai Zhe happened to be there as well. Bai Zhe approached her and even bought her an ice cream. The two sat together, eating and chatting, feeling closer than before. Bai Zhe initially wanted to get closer to Xing Man but hesitated and decided to give up, suggesting that if they happened to meet again, he would take her somewhere.
After the autopsy, Yao Shubei informed Xiao Yi that the deceased had a comminuted fracture in her left leg, likely from a collision, blunt force trauma to the skull, and bruising on the neck. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation. Dou Zi Lin couldn't believe it—there were injuries from a collision, head injuries, and strangulation. It made him wonder how much animosity the perpetrator had towards the victim.
Due to heavy rain and the saturation of the soil, no useful information was extracted from the deceased's body. Liang Dong Ni recognized the deceased as the famous actress Xu Ruoqing. Xu Ruocheng, Xu Ruoqing's brother, came to identify the body and broke down upon seeing the personal belongings, so Dou Zi Lin quickly took him outside.
Xia Yonghui reported Xu Ruoqing missing, so Liang Dong Ni came to question him. Xia Yonghui explained that they were supposed to participate in a charity event that day, but Xu Ruoqing, who was never late, didn't show up, which made him feel uneasy, so he reported her missing. On the 22nd, Xu Ruoqing was filming at Daqing Mountain and had also canceled a ride-hailing order. Xiao Yi and his team went to the shooting location to investigate.
The crew members mentioned that there was a dispute between Xu Ruoqing's agent, Wu Yuexin, and another agent surnamed Zhao. Xiao Yi and his team approached Wu Yuexin for questioning. Wu Yuexin stated that she was supposed to pick up Xu Ruoqing that day but didn't see her, and the dispute was just a misunderstanding. They also questioned the agent surnamed Zhao, who believed that Wu Yuexin was simply crazy and had inexplicably gotten angry with him that day.
Liang Dong Ni and the others questioned the owner of a supermarket at the foot of the mountain, and the owner confirmed that there was indeed a man on a bicycle lingering near the supermarket that day. Xiao Yi and the team went to Xu Ruoqing's home to investigate and discovered nine surveillance cameras. Upon further investigation, they found that Wu Yuexin was the recipient of the surveillance signals.
Xiao Yi questioned Wu Yuexin about the matter. Wu Yuexin explained that Xu Ruoqing, being an actress, could potentially be harmed by some overzealous fans, so she was trying to protect her. Xiao Yi requested to see the footage from the surveillance cameras, and Wu Yuexin showed them. Xiao Yi noticed that there was no surveillance video from February 17th.
Wu Yuexin explained that it was because Xu Ruoqing was filming outside on February 17th, so she didn't turn on the surveillance cameras.
