Episode 2 recap: News Anchor's Tragic Death
In the second episode, Yu Xing Bai returns from Japan, deeply concerned about the safety of his wife Bao Ying. However, he is determined to devote his passion to the complex case in Hong Kong. The police launch a thorough investigation into the death of Huang Shu-sen, and the forensic team uncovers unusual footprints and concealed bloodstains at the scene of the fatal fall, hinting that the case is far more complex than it appears.
Renowned forensic expert Fan Pei Qing conducts a meticulous autopsy on Huang Shu-sen's body and detects subtle injuries that are inconsistent with a fall, suggesting he may have been the victim of a violent attack prior to his death. Meanwhile, Yu Xing Bai's team delves into the Forest Teahouse, where they discover discrepancies in the accounts and the mysterious disappearance of surveillance footage, pointing to a sinister plot behind the scenes.
On another front, the innocent TV news anchor 000121 faces online harassment, but she chooses to stand strong, not only clearing her name but also providing the police with crucial clues. Her courageous actions help unveil the truth about Huang Shu-sen's heated confrontation with a mysterious man before his death.
As the investigation deepens, a vast underground gambling syndicate emerges, involved in illegal gambling, high-interest loans, and violent debt collection. The police surmise that Huang Shu-sen may have been killed for refusing to cooperate or expose their crimes. With his keen insight, Yu Xing Bai narrows down the list of suspects, identifying a close associate of the gambling ring as the primary target.
Through a carefully planned operation, the police apprehend the suspect, who, faced with overwhelming evidence, confesses to the murder and the attempt to cover it up as a suicide. However, the appearance of a mysterious video featuring another person at the scene of Huang Shu-sen's death night once again throws the case into uncertainty.
Undeterred, Yu Xing Bai's team remains resolute in their pursuit of the truth, determined to uncover the greater conspiracy lurking in the shadows. Amidst this, the disappearance of Bao Ying weighs heavily on Yu Xing Bai's mind, and he never ceases in his search for his beloved wife, believing that the day of their reunion will come. Driven by both justice and love, they continue their relentless quest to shed light on the truth.
