【Kiwi First | FULL】Beneath the Undertow EP10 | 暗潮缉凶 | iQIYI
In 1995, there was a murder in Yun County. The victim was also a young woman. She looked… Don’t! a bit like Shen Xiaozhou. Don’t get in the car. Don’t get in the car! Both our names originate from Tang poetry. To be specific, ocean-themed poems. “Spring river tides level with the sea”—
that’s where your name comes from. “I will mount a long wind some day
and break the heavy waves。” I’m not that ambitious. My favorite lines are, “The little boat goes this way, vanishes; To spend the rest of my life
on rivers and seas.” What? You think I’m an underachiever, an illiterate? No. Those lines just sound a bit… lonely. If one day, I leave alone, don’t ask me why. Okay? But why? Fine. If that day really comes, it means I’ve left with you
the best everything I have. Just keep that in mind. Why do you always say something like that? I’m just kidding. That shell over there is pretty. Go get it for me. I’ll be right back. That female victim… had a child. [Beneath the Undertow] [Episode 10] Hello? Zhang Haoyang didn’t make it. Got it. What happened? He was born with cerebral artery stenosis. The doctor who tried to save him said the substance injected into him could induce
severe vasoconstriction in the brain. Vasoconstriction? Isn’t that thing supposed to
dilate blood vessels? According to that couple’s confession, such a condition shouldn’t have happened. But what was injected into Zhang Haoyang
was a mixture of drugs, which contained complex components. Guo is still conducting further tests. Interrogate them. I’m innocent. I’m truly innocent! It wasn’t his first visit. He injected the same stuff every time. How did it go wrong this time? Tell us who your supplier is. No one. I cooked all the drugs on my own. Did I put in the wrong ingredients? Or one of the steps must’ve gone wrong. Where were the raw materials from? Home-grown plants, like poppies, ephedra, and so on. I know it is illegal to grow these.
I admit guilty. Are you able to handle
such complex chemical reactions? Yes. It’s not difficult. Why don’t I write down
the equations for you? What about your equipment? I quit after making just one batch of drugs last year. I threw the equipment away long ago. Oh, I know! The drugs must’ve expired, so their purity level dropped. I’m not good at chemistry, but I know what you said is pure nonsense. If you still stick to this story, then save it for the narcotics squad. Wait. I… That mentally challenged young man is your younger brother, right? Yes. How’s he doing now? Pretty good. He has a caregiver. Don’t worry. Once he turns emotionally stable, we’ll send him to a special institution. His daily needs will be provided for. Thank you. If you want to get out sooner
to take care of him, you’d better come clean now. Where was the injection
that Zhang Haoyang received sourced from? On the night of June 19th, besides Zhang Haoyang, who else came to your place? You must know the answers
to these two questions. Some people brought that anesthetic to us. It was a potent drug, which Zhang Haoyang had never used. Who brought it to you? I didn’t see. They never stepped into the court. My man usually got in their car
to pick up the drug. What kind of car? Just an ordinary sedan. A gray one. It was parked far away, so I couldn’t tell its model. Is it the one? Seems like it. On the evening of June 19th, who stopped by your place? Well… I really don’t know. You finally woke up. Eat it while it’s warm. I’m not hungry. If you don’t want any noodles, at least eat the egg. You need nutrition. Food’s ready. Come out to eat. Mr. Liang, good morning. No. I’ve never seen her. Thanks. Hold on. Pardon my boldness. But may I voice an opinion from an aesthetic perspective? Aesthetic? Go ahead. If I were her, I’d first fix my teeth to make myself look prettier. Looking into dental clinics? That’s even more unreasonable. How is plastic surgery equal to dental correction? Anyway, let’s explore this lead first. But dental clinics largely outnumber
plastic surgery hospitals. When will we ever finish
the investigation? Jia Beibei didn’t search for anything related to
dental correction online. She probably just saw an ad
on the streets. We’ll start with
canvassing her neighborhood. Please come in. Am I early? Not at all. Now is the perfect time. Come and meet Mr. Hu from Green Cycle, a leading corporation in Lingchuan. We’ve met before. Yes, we have. Hello, Director Yue. I’ll leave it to you then. No need. Our talk is finished.
Take a seat. Yue, we were discussing
the environmental assessment of Jinhai Phase 3,
namely Xuri Factory’s location. As the project moves forward, you two would meet up sooner or later. Right, Mr. Hu? Right. Xuri Factory is a heavy industrial enterprise after all. It has operated for many years. In the surroundings, there must be some residues of chemicals and hazardous pollutants, especially chromium,
a kind of heavy metal. Their impacts on human health cannot be underestimated. So, we must
handle the problem with caution. Sounds very technical. Sorry, I just got carried away and let out my side
as a former science student. What I’m trying to say is, if Shen Xiaozhou were alive, I’d definitely put her on this project. I’m sure she would be happy to make a contribution to Xuri Factory. How thoughtful of you, Mr. Hu. I have a meeting to attend. I’m getting going now. Hello? What happened? -Captain Lian…
-She said he messed this place up. I didn’t. You did! She asked to see his supervisor, so we had to invite you over. What brings you here? I… This is his revenge on me, since I rejected him. You… I assure you that he didn’t do this. If it had been him, that door wouldn’t have been pried open. I had a blind date with her
a few days ago. She told me she was
a kindergarten teacher. I have a liking for kindergarten teachers. We were chatting,
and she asked me about our cases. I-I said something I shouldn’t have. What did you tell her? I said Shen Xiaozhou’s killer was probably different from that of the other victims. That was all I said. Captain Lian, I made a mistake. I’ll accept any punishment. Did you smash your phone
last night for this matter? T-They then disclosed
Zhang Haoyang’s story. That was when I realized
what her job really is. I confronted her on the phone. But she still tried to
get more information from me. I got so furious t-that I went out of control. I came here to meet her this morning, h-hoping to get an explanation. Here is the surveillance footage. At about 4 a.m., some people in masks entered the complex. The time matches what the neighbors said. They made loud noises. The downstairs thought
there was an earthquake. Zhang Haoyang? Is it true? Got the tip you want? Are you going to make a post again? Most of what you posted last time was completely fabricated. Do you understand now? Even fabricated stories can be destructive enough to take a life. Are you suggesting Zhang died because we spilled the scoop? As a police officer, you’d better not frame us. Do you still want to publish a post? Guess how the public opinion
will backfire on you? You can try convincing yourself that you have nothing to do
with his death. But can you really live with that? You used to be a journalist. Ruining a man’s reputation
with false news— where is the journalistic integrity? Shouldn’t you at least provide facts while improving click rates? Tell me. Who was your source? The hospital. I meant last time. Last time, we received an anonymous message. Written on paper? Yes. Where is it now? Long gone. But I can tell you something. The previous post went viral because there were paid cyber trolls
stirring things up. I didn’t hire them. They just showed up uninvited. I’m telling the truth. I never thought he’d die. It doesn’t hurt.
It’s just like an ant bite. I can barely feel it. Why do I have to be treated with an IV? I’ve never received one before. You’re getting antibiotic drips, just like I am. We need anti-inflammatories. Are you high on painkillers? This is yours. Why did you make chicken? Didn’t I tell you already? I need a pork stew to boost blood health. Why did you… It’s not the New Year’s or a festival.
Why a pork stew? You’re a grown man who just lost a few drops of blood.
Do you really need that much nutrition? You’re a little fool, I’d say. Couldn’t you have dodged those rocks thrown at you? God knows how they hit you. Eat the chicken now. You’d better smarten up. Does it mean we can rule out Zhang Haoyang
as a suspect now? Yes. Those rich kids vouched for him because they went there that night too. They had to cover for one another. It’s a speculation.
There’s no proof of it. I made a mistake yesterday by taking action without orders. Why are you not reprimanding me? It’s enough that you’ve acknowledged it. Write me a self-criticism report later. Your birthday seems auspicious. I just picked a random date. I don’t know when I was born. So you lied about being born on August 8th? O-Our discussion on horoscopes
was pointless then, wasn’t it? No wonder you didn’t fit the description. How do you not know your own birthday? I was raised by relatives
in a rural place. Nobody knows when I was born. Then your mother… Listen, that’s actually a good thing because you can pick a date you like,
right? Just choose the one you see fit. August 8th… Isn’t that nice? Impressive. -Right?
-Right. I heard I was born in spring, in April. Spring… Your name can be “Spring-born”, right? “Spring-born” sounds nice, doesn’t it? -Am I right?
-What nonsense is that? You were born in the first lunar month. Why isn’t your name “First month-born”? Do you hear yourself? What kind of name is that? Ignore him. Have some of this. Shi Qiangfeng and “Spring-born”… “Spring-born”… It sounds nice. That really sounds nice. Finish your meal. Mr. Zhang. Aren’t you ashamed to show up here? What’s the use of you police officers? Why didn’t you crack down
that drug den earlier? A promising young man’s life
was destroyed. His soul was tainted. You failed your due diligence. You should be responsible for his death! I’m sorry. I offer you my condolences. The truth will clear your son’s name. Those who spread rumors will be held legally liable. Zhang Haoyang was actually a good kid. He was in pain. Hold on. Haoyang sent me a text message yesterday. [Dad, I’m guilty. Leave me alone.
Leave me to my fate.] Was he going to turn himself in? Did he or did he not kill that… He did not. We’ve ruled him out. This is all my fault. If I had given more care and freedom to him, he wouldn’t have kept everything from me. He wouldn’t tell me anything! Dad! Hop on, son. -Let’s go!
-Let’s go! He’s not coming home, is he? No. He works overtime every day. So what if he comes home? What are you afraid of? He’s your father. Shu, your father is the kind of person who’s incapable of saying nice things. He always seems awkward. But he has a gentle soul. He just doesn’t know
how to express his feelings. I don’t see it. I know you don’t see it. How many years have you known him? You’re more astute than him
in this aspect, since you’re more articulate. Just be the bigger man. Offer him a truce. Why am I the one to compromise? I’ll take a step back if he does. Just keep in mind that he loves you. He never says it, but he’s ready to give you everything. Is it my father we’re talking about? Of course it is. Why else would I have married him? Look how pretty I am. Mom, I’m leaving. Dinner isn’t over yet. Why did you come home so early today? Don’t go. I only came back to fetch something. Shu, I apologize to you. Please stay. Let’s have a word. As you know, I’m an introverted person. I was even more reserved
when I was little. I’m somewhat withdrawn. I’m afraid of talking to others. I bury everything deep in my heart. Perhaps I’m autistic. Since I’m a police officer, I have to speak a lot. But I only do that for my work and for solving cases. In my daily life, I still struggle with communication. On top of that, my patience runs out at work. That’s why I discipline you with a simple and strict approach. I remember we haven’t sat down for a peaceful talk like this since you went to junior high school. The most recent photo of you on my phone is from when you were in fourth grade. I don’t know much about your inner thoughts. It’s fair to say I’m an inadequate father. Shu, I’m sorry. I’ll try to do better. Maybe I can’t change my personality, but I promise I’ll improve
the way I communicate with you. Will you forgive me this time? Okay. Oh, right. Have you seen the driver of this car? No. The car didn’t stop
and just went away. I didn’t drive it. I’m sorry. I know. I know. By the way,
if you really want to learn to drive, I’ll teach you when you’re old enough. I’m quite a qualified driver. Of course you are. I’ve never seen a better driver
than you are. After you finish the learning, if someone suddenly cuts in again and you can’t avoid it, don’t give way. You’re doing nothing wrong. Offenders are the ones
who deserve punishment. Dad, are you giving me life lessons again? Get a move on. I’ll send you to Grandma’s home. Are you sure? Can you help me
talk your mother into staying a few days in Grandma’s home with you? Why? I’m busy working cases lately. I go to work early and come home late. It disturbs your mother’s sleep. She feels bored alone at home. Spending some time with your grandma
will cheer her up. I’ll pick you two up
after the work is over. Okay? What if Mom declines? She worries that you can’t eat properly. You figure something out then. Mom, Grandma had a dream the other day… Make sure you eat properly.
Don’t just eat whatever. I’ll be back in a few days. By the way, don’t forget to water my plants. It’s not the same car. Have you recovered? Completely. Did Captain Lian not scold you? He gave me a little lecture
since I got injured. It’s okay. I heal quickly. People call me Wolverine. Listen, could you write
a self-criticism report for me? No. Write it yourself. This is for you. You need nutrition. I didn’t know I’d get special treatment
for being injured. In the future… Say it, I dare you. Why is that comment gone? Which comment? I mean a picture someone sent under the post I told you last time. It was a photo of Xiaozhou
playing the Chinese lute on livestream. Why was it deleted? I was going to tell Captain Lian about it. Did you take a screenshot? I did. You have to eat alone now. I need to find out how this happened. But what else is there to look for? A competent technician in the police force doesn’t just take screenshots, right? Eat your food. Wash the dishes after you finish. Have you seen her or not? I have. I recognized her at first sight. Then why didn’t you say it
during the long observation of this photo? I was looking at her teeth. I was trying to recall the treatment plan I designed for her. She was a talkative girl. I chatted with her for quite a while. Later on,
I wondered why she never came back. Did she ever mention why she needed dental correction? What reason could there be? She had crooked teeth. Oh right, she said she could be a streamer
after her teeth were fixed. A streamer? Yes. Did she mention what kind of streamer? The kind that can make money online, by dancing and singing. Can’t you be more straightforward? I remember her saying
a company hired her and offered her a high commission rate. She also said she could earn back the cost of dental correction in 15 days. What company? She didn’t tell me. Look into
Wang Yishan’s social connections. Let’s see if she intended to be
a streamer as well. I thought streamers were self-employed. Little did I realize
they’re backed by companies. Lin Zi! You’re naive. Do you believe all those internet jokes to be true? A little help here. How are your arms? Still got two of them, fully intact. I’ll write the report right away. That can wait. This screenshot is from a comment under a viral post. It was deleted today, so I looked into it. I traced the account
that posted this comment on all social media platforms. Many uses opt to use the same username on different websites. Luckily,
we got a distinctive username here. It should be “Unrequited Love.” What an illiterate fool. With this local IP address, I tracked down to a hidden personal webpage. I think he created this website on his own. There are many short videos like these, but none are pornographic. That comment is probably from this video. It’s about ten minutes long. When Shen Xiaozhou started
playing the second piece, viewers began showering her with gifts, including this user
named “Unrequested Love”. I calculated it. In about ten minutes, he sent gifts that were worth
five to six thousand. Five to six thousand? In yuan or tokens? Equivalent to five to six thousand yuan. Is he stupid or what? Does he come from a rich family? To add to that,
his comments are very nasty. He kept asking Shen Xiaozhou
to show more skin. Quite disgusting. In the end,
Shen Xiaozho stopped streaming. This is the profile picture
on his homepage. You can’t see his whole face. He looks familiar. Do you know him? No. I mean the settings behind him. I know what place it is. Well done. Well done. Green Cycle? That’s the tip of their leaf logo? It means this user “Unrequested Love” has probably seen Shen Xiaozhou in flesh. Could it be possible
that Shen Xiaozhou planned to report this man’s lewd behavior
to the company after she discovered he was the viewer
who tipped her on her live channel? -Therefore, he…
-After we reach Green Cycle, don’t let out our real purpose. When we confirm he’s a suspect, we’ll take him away for an interview. Why? This case seems
more complicated than we think. There are secrets behind the killer. Like having accomplices? What do you mean? It’s just a hunch I have. We’re simply scratching the surface of Shen Xiaozhou’s murder. We haven’t found the key to it yet. Mr. Hu is in a meeting. Would you like me to go get him? No need. We’ll wait. Where’s the restroom? Go in and turn right into that corner. -Thank you.
-I’m thirsty. Get me some water. Let me do it. No need. You do your job. I’ll get the water. I’m terribly sorry. It’s okay. No need to wipe it. Your co-worker must’ve
gone to the restroom. When he comes back, please tell him I’m sorry. He’s taking a few days’ leave. Captain Lian, sorry,
I was having a meeting. Let’s talk inside. Don’t bother. It’s just a quick question. Did Shen Xiaozhou ever request an advance payment? Or, did the company
make her an advance payment? No, never. Then I need an affidavit
from the finance department. It’s a trifle. Why didn’t you just give me a call? We’re bound by rules to ask you in person. Oh, right.
The case hasn’t been solved yet. The scope of investigation
will be expanded. Could you give me a name list of all your employees? We just need their names, ID numbers,
phone numbers and addresses. No problem.
I’ll print a list out right away. By the way, Officer Lian, thank you for keeping that incident secret. I got something. It’s him. What’s his name? Huang Bin.
He happens to be on a leave these days. Too convenient, huh? Haiyi Garden. Could he have fled? What’s his phone number? Have the tech crew locate him. Who are you? Shen Xiaozhou visited your office
a few times. You’ve seen her in flesh, right? The murdered girl? I heard she was a new recruit. You recognized her
the moment you saw her, right? I-I hadn’t met her before. How was I able to recognize her? You sent her gifts
that were worth several thousand. I think you’d remember her. What do you mean by that? You’re the user “Unrequested Love”,
aren’t you? Did Shen Xiaozhou know it was you? How would she know?
I used an anonymous account. You’re not that hard to find. It took us only half an hour to track you down. She realized it was you. You thought your life would be miserable
in the office ever after. She couldn’t have realized it was me. When she saw me in the office that time, she was very friendly. But someone did find out the truth, right? Otherwise, why would you
have deleted the screenshots? Did someone force you to do so? No, it’s not true.
It was I who decided to delete them. But why? You did what you did with the purpose of letting everyone know that Shen Xiaozhou was not sweet and innocent as she appeared to be. You held grievances against her. But has it ever occurred to you that maybe Shen Xiaozhou didn’t hate you and that she might even
be grateful to you? You tipped her
several thousand all at once. She must’ve seen it. But… she didn’t respond to me at all. Maybe she had a reason she couldn’t tell. Did Shen Xiaozhou become a streamer on her own accord or against her will? Is the person
who forced you to delete these pictures also worried that people would know
Shen Xiaozhou’s job as a streamer? Someone did force you
to delete the photos, right? If not, you would’ve refuted me without hesitation. Could you protect me? Yes. We can transfer you to a police-designated hospital
for recovery, where you’ll be taken care of. They… beat me up. “They”? More than one person? It was a gang. They still beat me with rods
after I deleted the pictures. Who were they? They were all in masks, concealing their faces. I pretended to have fainted and heard them making a call, reporting to someone called Ao. Ao? Do you think Shen Xiaozhou was really the kind of person
Chen Hui described? What? She didn’t strike me as someone who’d choose to be a streamer. What’s wrong with being a streamer? She streamed in a bedroom, instead of her college dorm or her home. Our investigation results show that she didn’t rent a place. Where could that bedroom be? Could she be living a secret double life? So what if she was different from what we think? Given her education level, personality
and perceptions of things, she shouldn’t have taken that job. It’s not something shameful. She just wanted to
make money for her family. But that wasn’t a suitable way for her. What do you mean? Improper, frivolous and undignified? No. Maybe I’m just out of touch
with the times. I always feel that… What does your generation think? Do you always despise girls like her? I’m reminded of the victims
of the former cases I dealt with. They were preoccupied with pursuing things that would make their lives easier. Attaining something easily seems to give rise to an addiction that lures people into going down a dark and smooth path till they end up being destroyed
by these things. Are you saying… That those girls deserved death? That all was their fault, and that they had it coming? Then why are we police
still working cases? What are you talking about? Hello? I have a finding. In Lingchuan, there’s only one man named Ao. His real name is Ao Xiaojie. Well, about this man… He is… How should I put it? A crab’s pincers are also called “Ao” in mandarin, right? Ao Xiaojie is a prominent figure in the local area. He owns a company called
Da’ao Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., which mainly focuses on
livestream business. My finding shows he has signed more than 20 streamers. Including Shen Xiaozhou? No. She seemed to be on probation. This company was investigated last year, fined
for presenting vulgar performances, and ordered to rectify its conduct. But it seems like… it’s still operating. This company is precisely located in… Baoyang Building? Yes, exactly. “Ao” refers to Ao Xiaojie. Instead of our office, let’s head to Ao Xiaojie’s company first. Right now? It’s too late. They must be off work. People in their line of business
start working at night. From Wu Bo, the first suspect of this case, to Chen Hui and Zhang Haoyang, there has been a certain someone, or a force, fighting us, trying to misguide our investigation. You think it’s Ao Xiaojie? I think… we’re about to find the key to this case.
