Pull him up. [Analysis of the Shen Xiaozhou Case
and a Secret Affair with a Rich Kid] Small places having
outsized troublemakers. Waves rise even without wind. [Beneath the Undertow] [Episode 9] I’ve been waiting for you. I thought you’d be here soon. I can record this meeting, right? Yes, but it can’t be leaked externally. Let me introduce myself first. I’m Yao Guangbo, the founder of Fengyun Headlines. I used to be a reporter
for the city newspaper. Four years ago, I resigned
and started my own business. I entered the self-media industry and founded this company. Mr. Yao, we’ve reached 16,001 comments, 21,900 shares, and 45,000 likes! To what do we owe the honor of your visit, officers? We’re here for two things. First, please delete the article “Death of a Female College Student.” The case is still under investigation, and your published information could
interfere with our work. Second, please clarify whether the content of your article has any factual basis. If so, what are your sources? Is that an order? Calling it an order… might not be accurate. This is a major criminal case. So, you have an obligation
to cooperate with our investigation. Obligation? Then, what about my rights? What about the public’s right to know? What about the media’s right to oversight? The case is still under investigation. Once we have the results, all the rights you mentioned will
be respected and can be exercised. No. The investigation process
also needs oversight. The public also needs to be informed. Otherwise, how can an investigation
be trusted? Should we just take your word for it? Who else? If not the experts, should we listen to… What if you can’t see the forest
for the trees? Could you be abusing your power? For instance, this demand
to delete my post— is that reasonable? It is reasonable. Even if I agree, my three million followers might not. Don’t forget, public opinion has changed laws before. Mr. Yao, we’re at 16,003 comments now, 21,900 shares… Could you… please stop interrupting us? Do you have to report
the numbers every minute? Mr. Yao, Zhang Haoyang’s middle school
homeroom teacher got back to us, saying that the story about him
cutting a classmate with a knife is just a rumor. It never happened. How should we spin it? Who really made his homeroom teacher
say this? Is he being pressured? Draft something that’s objective yet inquisitive. That doesn’t sound very objective. If you think I’m not being objective, then provide evidence
and file a complaint against me, alright? Let me say it again. The case is still under investigation. Publishing unverified information could help the killer escape justice. Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean. I’m helping you. Fine. Then let me address the second matter. Please disclose your information sources. That’s even harder than the first. I used to be a journalist. Protecting sources is an ironclad rule. We really can’t do anything about him? Sounds nice in theory. All this talk about rights— isn’t it really just about money? Otherwise, why track traffic every minute? If an account posts false information, the platform can delete it. He won’t reveal his source. We could switch gears.
Try a different approach. This guy is a pain, but what if Zhang Haoyang really is
involved? Let him feel public outrage. Maybe he’ll get scared and reveal something. That’s a double-edged sword. Uncle Li. You’re here.
The stuff you wanted is ready. All on the table in the back room. -Go get it yourself.
-Okay. Uncle Shen. Wang, look at this. I saw it this morning. Really? Is this true? Definitely true. Wait, let me go talk to him. S-Shen, that case has been solved? What? Have they caught the guy? Caught who? They said so online. It’s that Zhang guy, Xiaozhou’s boyfriend. Bullshit! Xiaozhou never had a boyfriend! You didn’t know about this? They say he’s some rich kid. A rich kid? See for yourself. What nonsense are you talking about? Uncle Shen, don’t believe it. They’re all baseless rumors online. Sun Qiuhong, do you know that Xiaozhou had a boyfriend? Not a boyfriend, just some guy named Zhang. You saw this online, right? The neighbors told me. I… Xiaozhou… she did mention him to me before. She said he was just an ordinary friend. She mentioned it to you? Why would she tell you and not me? When did she tell you? What am I, dead? Xiaozhou, why didn’t you tell Dad? The post has been deleted, but Yao Guangbo still won’t reveal
his information source. He’s even got a lawyer, saying that revealing his source is irrelevant
to solving the case. Playing games with us? Let’s not waste time on him. Haiping, who do you think his information source is? You mean someone might be trying to mislead us, deliberately throwing us off track? What do you think? I don’t know. It could be built-up resentment from the public toward people of Zhang Haoyang’s status. So, many people don’t understand when we’re handling this case
according to the law. What I really want to know now is what Zhang Haoyang is actually hiding. He’s under a lot of pressure right now. He might be looking for an outlet. His father got him a nanny? A bodyguard. Looking at his build and gait,
he’s probably ex-military. He’s shadowing him,
never leaving his side. Is it still worth tailing him? I found it. She was neither gambling nor using drugs. Jia Beibei searched for
a lot of information about plastic surgery clinics. Her borrowing of loans must be
for plastic surgery. Plastic surgery? What did she want to have done? That, I don’t know. She looks fine to me, but girls probably think differently. Wang Yishan had double eyelid surgery
before she was killed. Where did she have it done? Beauty Star Plastic Surgery Hospital. Jia Beibei searched for that hospital too. [Baoyang Building] He told this to his parents. He backed down. What’s he doing going to a karaoke place
in the daytime? Belting out some songs to blow off steam? Wake up. You’re about to get food up your nose. I made this. Try it. What? Want some meat? No way, none for you. Someone posted again online about Shen Xiaozhou. Lots of comments below. Who posted it? Don’t tell me
it’s that Fengyun Headlines again? They still dare to post? No, it’s just an ordinary user. The post doesn’t involve the case. It’s just gossip about her love life. Someone commented that Shen Xiaozhou returned the scarf
to Zhang Haoyang but wore a fake knockoff herself— playing hard to get to land a bigger catch. Shen Xiaozhou got herself
a rich boyfriend, but she’d been all secretive about it, which means
this rich kid wasn’t rich enough. There must be some even richer tycoon waiting in line for her. “This is the fastest way for an ordinary girl
to move up the social ladder. Zhang Haoyang was already a prize, but she was just hitching a ride
to someone with a bigger wallet.” What’s wrong with people these days? Don’t they believe that there are still pure and kind people in this world? Must everyone be obsessed with money? Must everyone have
a belly full of schemes? Anyone who isn’t materialistic
must be pretending, and only evil hearts are genuine. What’s the point of that? Shen Xiaozhou wasn’t like that. Shi Qiangfeng. You can be quite adorably naive sometimes. Come on, get some sleep already. I’ll sleep in a bit. Stop chewing that. I warmed up some milk. Drink it. Drink it. I lent the suitcase to Guo, okay? Give it to her, give it to her. I’ve already emptied it out. Get some rest early. [Paternity Test Type] Come in. Did you find anything? Nothing. No, there’s no record of Jia Beibei. Is it possible that they were embarrassed and used fake names for plastic surgery? Well… we are
a legitimate medical institution. We don’t allow the use of fake names. Could you please check it again carefully? I’m in this business. I might mistake other things,
but never faces. For example, Wang Yishan— I remembered her
as soon as you mentioned her. Did Wang Yishan ever mention why she wanted plastic surgery? We don’t really recommend using the term “plastic surgery” anymore. We call it “medical aesthetics”
or “cosmetic enhancement.” Coming for medical aesthetics is
naturally for beauty, self-improvement, and self-actualization, as well as to inject something new
into their lives… Has anyone ever had cosmetic surgery
on their feet? No, I mean,
beauty treatments for their feet? [Beauty Star Plastic Surgery] I had such high hopes for this lead. If both of them had been here, we might have been closing in
on the real culprit. What a promising lead, and now it’s just another dead end. Not necessarily. Listen, Wang Yishan and Jia Beibei
at least had plastic surgery or planned to have it. So, it’s not a dead end. Why hasn’t he gone home yet? He still needs to work overtime? If you’re tired, take a nap. I am tired, but I can’t sleep. I wake up at the slightest sound. Looks like your insomnia’s
rubbing off on me. Take a look at this. Moon jellyfish. The pulsing frequency of their bells is similar to human brain waves
during sleep. Watching them can make you drowsy. Does this work for you? It used to. You still have trouble sleeping? Aren’t you the one who… what’s that saying… would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed
in front of you? Even calm people can’t
remain calm forever. I could really go for
some cold jellyfish salad right now. I used to see them when I went swimming in the ocean. You used to see them? Is your hometown in the city? No. It’s in Yun County, also by the sea. When did you leave your hometown? I left when I got into the Police Academy. Later, both my parents passed away, so I rarely went back. [Summon for Inquiries] [Person Being Questioned: Lian Haiping] Oh, right. In 1995, there was a murder case in Yun County. The victim was also a young woman. Do you know about it? H-How do you know that? When I was at the police academy, our instructor told us about this case. 1995—you should have just graduated
from college. Were you on that case? 1995… I can’t remember clearly. That victim was quite pitiful. I saw the crime scene photos. Her body was found in a river. She looked… a bit like Shen Xiaozhou. Really? That female victim… also had a child. I’m suddenly feeling sleepy. Mind if I take the night off? Sure, go ahead. [Jiao from Yun County] Hello? Haiping! Haven’t heard from you in forever.
What’s up? Jiao, you off duty yet? I’m on duty at the station. What is it? Just say it. I know you. You never just call to chat. The 7/25 Case of 1995, do you still remember it? Why are you asking about that? I didn’t know before, but did that victim have a child? A child? It’s been too long. It’s been 20 years. I can’t remember clearly either. Tell you what, I’ll check it for you now and call you back. Great, thanks. Hello. Fill it up. Got it. -What’s wrong?
-Hello, your card is empty. Top it up for me. You’re Xiaozhou’s father. Did you do it? Tell me, was it you? Say it! Did you do it? Was it you? Was it you? Uncle Shen, come back with me, Uncle Shen. Uncle Shen! When you borrowed the scooter from my mom, I knew something wasn’t right! You can’t do this. You’re breaking the law here! Get out of my way. This is against the law! For Xiaozhou, I don’t care
if I’m breaking the law! Xiaozhou wouldn’t want you to do that. Lu, are you at the station? Help me track a phone number. Yeah, give me a second. Hey, what’s the number? Give it to me. Why did you call me out here? Don’t tell me you got scolded and you’re writing a self-reflection
in your head again? Fine, stay in your silent mode then. If you’re not sure
whether it’s good news or bad news, is it better to know or not? What do you mean? Sir, two more dozen beers. Nothing. Shen Xiaozhou even did this before? What? Where did you get this? From that post I told you about last time. Someone posted this picture
in the comments. Something’s up with Zhang Haoyang. I’m heading back to the station
to get backup. I’m coming with you! Be good. Just eat your food. What’s that supposed to mean? You might not even be able to beat me! Sir, the check! Captain Lian. She insisted on coming along. We’ve got approval from Commander Feng. Where’s Qi? He took time off to fix his phone. His mom kept calling
to set him up on blind dates, so he got fed up and smashed his phone. What’s the situation? Zhang Haoyang is inside. He’s hiding something after all. I’ve already checked. This should be a hideout
for illegal activities. Looks like an abandoned warehouse, but there are signs of people
living around. A gambling den? Doesn’t look like it. It’s probably
involved in drugs or prostitution. I thought
it was his murder spot or something. Whatever it is, let’s take it down first. If we don’t find evidence
of Zhang Haoyang’s murders, wouldn’t busting the place alert him? I have a theory. We’ll know after we take it down. Are the few of us enough? Enough. Judging by these tire tracks, not many people are here today. There’s only one door for entry and exit. But there’s a window on the west side, next to the dirt road. You two pair up and cover that side. Wait for my signal. Got it. I’m better suited for a frontal assault. You two need to watch out for each other and protect each other’s safety. Are there cameras at the entrance? There won’t be any. No one who comes here
wants to be recorded. Too bad Qi isn’t here. This lock would take him just 20 seconds. Should we break down the door? No need. We’re here to investigate, not to make arrests. Shi Qiangfeng, are you in position? I’m about to knock. I’ll climb in and open the door for you. Don’t! Who is it? Shi Qiangfeng! I’m fine! Break down the door. One! Two! Get down! Stay still. Why didn’t you shoot? He’s mentally challenged. You’re injured? I’m fine. Thank goodness. I’m wearing protection. They’ve got
both cold weapons and firearms. Quite an arsenal. Honey, put the gun down. They really are police. Get him to the hospital immediately. Yes. You’re injured. It’s nothing. Don’t be afraid. They’re not bad people. There, there. Don’t be afraid, brother. It’s okay. We… we’re not drug dealers. Our main business is making statues. Business is going very well. We’re not short on money. What did Zhang Haoyang
inject himself with? Just an anesthetic. Mild one.
Just some light entertainment for friends. It’s really not a drug. Then why do you have all those weapons? We thought you were… were our enemies. If we had known you were the police, we wouldn’t have resisted. Does Zhang Haoyang come here often? He used to come, then he stopped for over half a year. But recently, he’s come a few times. I saw the posts about him online. He’s probably under a lot of pressure, so he came here to unwind. You know about that case? Then, on the night of June 19th, was he here? Yes, he was and stayed until late at night. I’m not related to him or anything, so I have no reason
to provide a false alibi. He didn’t come alone, right?
Who else was with him? I can’t remember clearly. There were some other young people, right? I really can’t remember. Take them away. -Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir. Officer, I… Hello? Haiping, I found it. That victim really did have a child. A boy, back in 1995, he would’ve been about three or four. Three or four? I’m not clear on that. That boy was fostered in the countryside, not with his mother. Lucky, really. Where is the child now? I didn’t find that out. Do you want me to keep looking? Yeah, help me look into it some more. Thanks, Jiao.
