[This is a work of fiction.] [The events and characters depicted are fictitious.] [Day 24. Be on time for dinner, Prince Rama.] [Insect Detective 2] [Episode 8] Nice show. You had me fooled. Next time before you lie, remember to prepare thoroughly. This is your cell phone, right? Take a good look. Take a good look. Honestly, sir. I’ve been watching this video for a long time. I downloaded it to my cell phone just so I can watch it whenever I want. Every time I watch it, I’m extremely happy. Tell me what’s going on. I don’t know. This video just popped up in my mailbox one day. I don’t know who sent it to me. I replied to that guy, but that guy didn’t get back to me. You guys can check it out. Kan. Still lying? Wait a minute. I just got angry because he lied to me. That’s why I used violence against him. I apologize. Actually, he’s the real victim. His beloved and beautiful daughter Thena was tricked by that jerk Jirayu and killed herself. The law had no way to punish Jirayu. If it was me and I wasn’t a cop, I would have tried my best to get back at Jirayu. Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, I will find him. Jirayu deserved to die, but the Chinese man you ran over is innocent, right? According to our investigation, Jirayu wasn’t killed by him because we have a clear alibi for him. The innocent man you ran over is an innocent victim just like Thena. His parents came by. They only have this one child, just like you. Because of you, they had to attend their son’s funeral and will spend the rest of their lives alone like you. That’s impossible. He did it. He did it. He made a deal with me. He said he was Jirayu’s tenant and that I needed to run him over after he killed Jirayu for me. He had a hundred ways to kill himself. I’m telling the truth. I’m telling the truth. He said he wanted to kill himself but was afraid his parents and classmates wouldn’t accept it, so he asked me to help him and run him over so he could leave his parents a settlement. Understand? I was helping him. This video is what he sent me. After Thena’s accident, Jirayu disappeared. I quit my job to look for this scum. Five years ago, I heard that Jirayu came to Bangkok, so I came to Bangkok, too. For five years, I’ve searched every corner of Bangkok during the day and worked odd jobs at all the night markets at night. ♪Will the sun take her back?♪ What are you doing? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I got the wrong person. I’m sorry. ♪Time is non-linear♪ What are you doing? Why are you so hurry-scurry? I’m sorry. I hired you to work, – not to mess around. – I’m sorry. Pick it up. In the meantime, I uploaded his picture to the dark web to put a bounty on his whereabouts, but for five years, I’ve come up empty-handed. I feared I couldn’t hold on and was ready to go to Thena’s place. One month ago, a person contacted me on the dark web and gave me some recent photos of Jirayu. I was pleasantly surprised and asked him to tell me where Jirayu was. He told me to wait for him to contact me later. Later, I kept asking him. He sent me a few more pictures of Jirayu, but still asked me to wait. Until five nights ago, he contacted me again for some reason. He said he would kill Jirayu for me and make it look like he died of accidental poisoning. As a trade, he asked me to help him kill himself, but it would look like a car accident. That way, we’d each fulfill our wishes with no suspicion. I agreed. He said he would videotape the killing of Jirayu and send it to me. I confirmed it, and at 11:30 AM the next day, I drove to Jalan Suchart in Ari on time. [Killing for each other] The fourth crosswalk. At that time, I would see a man in a black suit holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. That guy would be him. [Vorarit] Hello? Jingtian. We’re interrogating again. The driver who hit and killed Liu Xiaoyu, Virot. Jirayu indirectly killed his daughter. What? Virot said Liu and him made a deal on the dark web. Liu killed Jirayu for him while he helped Liu kill himself, so he ran Liu over. Killing for each other. Hello? Jingtian? No way. I don’t believe Liu would kill anyone. I’m sorry. We’ve got all the chats between Liu and Virot. Can you send me these chats? I’m sorry. No. By the way, according to Thai law, a suspect can’t be held criminally liable for anything after his death, but since Liu was run over and killed, his family can file a civil claim against the perpetrator. I will recommend a lawyer to you. When the time comes, you can work with him to help Liu’s parents deal with this. Good. Thank you. But I believe Liu is not a suspect. How about this? I’ll send you something later. Take a good look. Sheriff, please come over here. I’ll send it to you right away. That’s it. Firstly, the killer was familiar with the habits of bees. Secondly, the killer knew the victim was red-green color blind and couldn’t distinguish between red and green. Thirdly, the killer knew the victim had recently been stung by a bee. In a nutshell, the murderer knew the victim well or had studied him carefully. Fourthly, the murderer was present at Lin’s Apiary and did not alert anyone. Fifthly, I speculate, just speculate, that such a brutal way shows that the murderer hated the deceased very much. The autopsy results proved Jingtian’s judgment. The victim died because of a hypersensitivity reaction to bee venom. This information can give us a basic impression of the murderer. I’m not sure about the first point, but as for the second, third, and fourth points, I think the best match is Kong Xue, the new wife of the deceased. The fifth point may be the same, but we’re not sure yet. After all, the deceased may be of similar age to her father. That’s prejudice. It could be her, but your line of thinking seems to indicate that you are playing petty tricks and slacking off. Based on Kong Xue’s words, she doesn’t seem to know that the deceased was red-green color blind. But she might be pretending not to know, right? Makes sense. So we asked the apiary staff. They said that at least the day before yesterday, the lighting in this tent was still wrapped in red cloth. Did one staff member say this or did multiple staff members say it separately? If we don’t even know this, how can we be qualified to work for you? That’s right. Three people. They said it separately. So we have a list of all the staff who were on duty at the apiary and all the guests at the B&B in the last two days. About how many people? Less than twenty, including Kong Xue. Of course, the scope of our investigation is certainly larger than this list. We’re looking for anyone who didn’t stay at the B&B but came in and out during the past few days. Is there CCTV inside the apiary? Yes, but they’re all aimed at the victim’s beehive sculpture and all from a very narrow perspective. It was probably just for the victim’s convenience to observe the progress of the hive. Also, the surveillance footage from the office area and the B&B is still being investigated, right? Yes. I’ve found that sometimes your petty tricks can be helpful. Of course. That’s why we’ve brought in Kong Xue. It’s human nature to be lazy. Okay. Now that she’s here, let’s go meet her. Okay. This way, please. Please have some water. Thank you. I’m sorry to bring you here so late. Don’t say that. Anyway, I couldn’t sleep at home. I can’t stay in that place now. I’m going to sell it when the case is over. As far as you know, has your husband offended anyone? Offended anyone? He’s quite popular on WeChat Moments. His work got a good response from his clients. As for who he offended, I’ve heard from his friends that he was a bit of a show-off, but no one would kill him for that. What do you mean by "show-off"? He’s an artist. Creation is about expression or manifestation, so I think it’s normal for him to be a show-off, or why is he in the arts? Yeah. Are you an art major too? I’m a landscape architecture major. Sort of a combination of forestry and art. Are you currently your husband’s agent? Yes, I am. Do you suspect me? We suspect everyone who was there. Then you shouldn’t suspect me. He’s my husband, and I’m his wife. We just got married and haven’t even had a wedding yet, so why would I kill him? The wedding is not important. You were legally married when you registered your marriage. When he died, since he had no immediate family, his savings, art, and Lin’s Apiary would be yours. And then you wouldn’t need to have a wedding. You just graduated and got married. That’s a little fast. I don’t think you quite understand the new marriage laws. A person can get married while still in college. It’s good to be young. You can start a new life whenever you want. It’s ridiculous. Just because of our big age gap? Are even the police so vulgar? Until the case is solved, we have the right to suspect anyone, including you. Watch your mouth. Have you forgotten that suspicion doesn’t mean guilt? I’m sorry. Miss. We don’t really care about other people’s private lives unless it has something to do with the case. We’ve asked you here today to get more clues that can help us find out the truth about your husband’s murder. Unless you don’t want that. What the… Why do young people talk so carelessly? I’m sorry. Miss, think it over again. Has your husband really never offended anyone? He’s an artist, so his love experience would be a bit richer than others. How rich? Has he had many affairs? Sort of. I only gradually learned about it after I fell in love with him. However, he’s so much older than me. I don’t want to care about what he did before he fell in love with me. Did you have a boyfriend before you fell in love with him? Anything of your business? No, but we must learn about it. Yes. His name is Li Yue. My college alumnus. He was three grades ahead of me. But we haven’t been in touch since we broke up. How long has it been? More than half a year. That’s not very long. Are you color blind? No. Did you tell Li Yue that Lin Meifeng is color blind? I’ve forgotten. Please think again. I really forgot. Are you guys suspecting him? I’ve already told you. We just need to learn something. Miss. He’s your ex-boyfriend, so do you think he’s someone your husband offended? I don’t know what to say about you straight boys. What’s wrong with a big age gap? There’s a lot of that going around. Besides, does a big age gap mean they don’t have true love? That’s prejudice. You’re what they call a moral abductor. Li Xiaoxiao. Captain Ru is here. We’re doing this for work, aren’t we? Otherwise, who wants to know her personal business? Give me a piece of tissue. It went in my eye. Are you all right? Yeah. See? People become frivolous when they’re not stressed, you know? Listen. I think Kong Xue could be a shortcut. She at the very least makes the love murder possible, so your next step in the investigation should be to focus on people who had a relationship with the victim and Kong Xue. Especially this victim who had such a rich relationship history. By the way, put a bracket after the fifth point and write "love murder" in it. Liu Zhi, do it after eating. Also, when investigating, pay attention to your methods. Don’t bring unnecessary trouble to other people’s families. – Okay. – Okay. Congratulations on becoming a private detective. Don’t gloat. You’ll have to do it too. Let’s start with Li Yue. Investigate everyone. Include Liu Zhi. Work… Work together. Gently. Hello? No problem. Let him come over. OK. Xiao. Your brother is here. It’s late. What’s he doing here? I’ll go see him. OK. Killing for each other? It’s a brilliant ruse. Jingtian. What do you think? I stand by my previous judgment. Xiaoyu would never kill anyone. So he didn’t commit suicide, right? About this, I can’t say. Do you really know him well? Don’t you trust me? Do you trust those Thai cop friends of yours? Jingtian, listen. If the police have all the chat records and the death video as you said, I think you should adjust your mindset. You need to face the facts. That’s what I want to talk to you about. Xiaoyu was a Chinese citizen, so whether he killed someone or not, his death was not an accident. He was deliberately run over, so I was wondering if we could apply for a joint case between the two countries. That way, can we see those chat logs too? Jingtian, listen to me. Whatever the truth is, it only shows that Xiaoyu’s death wasn’t because you came on to him or you’re a walking disaster, so don’t feel too guilty or dwell on unimportant details. It’s two different things. Jingtian. Forget it. It’s fine if you guys don’t help. I’ll do it myself. Jingtian. You… Jingtian. Tan Jingtian. Let me see him off. Go with him to his place. Tan Jingtian. Tan Jingtian. Liu Zhi. Listen up. Find out what formalities are required for a joint transnational case. Yes, sir. Jin Ling. Hi. Why are you alone? Where’s Mario? He left a while ago. We work two shifts now. He’s on the day shift, and I’m on the night shift. Is he dating? Works in the daytime and dates at night. No. There are a lot of people in the lab these days, including many out-of-town colleagues. He spends most of his evenings discussing other cases with his peers. That’s actually a good thing. It shows that what we’re doing is getting more and more attention. Indeed. Any new discovery on that charred body? Not yet. Chai. I think you may still know little about forensic entomology. Compared to you and Mario, very little. Don’t touch that. It’s poisonous. What? Are you kidding me? These portable vials are filled with cyanide and are numbered and registered. Really? Insects dying chronic deaths from lack of oxygen secrete large amounts of body fluids that can compromise their integrity. It’s not conducive to observation. Putting them in these vials and killing them quickly preserves their morphology better. I guess I really don’t know much about forensic entomology. Forensic entomology is primarily concerned with inferring the time of death based on the various interactions that occur between arthropods and corpses during decomposition. This carcass, which had been charred for fifteen years, had become, in Mario’s words, almost charcoal, so forensic entomology didn’t mean much to it anymore. I get it. Why are you so obsessed with this body? It’s a case my dad worked on back when he was a detective. When she was found, the crime scene was strange. Nothing but a tent. Over the years, there’s been no information other than the fact that she was a woman and around 40 years old based on bone age. She had also become a distraction for my dad. He rambled to me every time I visited him. I kept thinking that she had once lived on this earth for 40 years or so, so I couldn’t believe that she hadn’t left any information. She was so miserable. She must be waiting for the day when we can make a complaint on her behalf, but I know it’s been fifteen years. If even you guys can’t do anything about it, there’s really nothing I can do. I’ll ask someone to take her away in a few days. We had the same idea. You’d better keep her here. Didn’t you say that forensic entomology couldn’t do anything for her? But maybe forensic anthropology can. I’d like to give it a try. You’re right. She’s so miserable. We must help her. Then I won’t move her away. And I didn’t give you permission to do that, did I? Okay. When is Mario coming back? He usually comes back quite late. Let’s go then. We’re not waiting for him? No. The curry crab at that place is limited every day. If you’re late, it’ll be sold out. It sounds delicious. Let me change. Go ahead. Try it. Is it good? Yes. Do you like it? Yes. It’s good. Listen. You won’t go wrong with what I recommend. I heard Jingtian say that. Just have more. I’ll tell you something when we’re full. You can say it before we’re full. Okay, listen. Do you remember the driver who killed Liu Xiaoyu? Yes. His daughter was also indirectly killed by Jirayu. He and Liu Xiaoyu met on the dark web. Liu Xiaoyu offered to kill Jirayu for him, and as a deal, he needed to help Liu Xiaoyu kill himself, so he showed up at that place at that time and ran over Liu Xiaoyu. Are you sure? We’ve got all the chat logs. So did you talk to Jingtian? Yes. What did he say? He’s still convinced of Liu Xiaoyu’s innocence. But he asked me for the chat records, which is not allowed. That’s why I came to you. I was afraid Jingtian might think too much or get too paranoid. Why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing? You don’t have to invite me to dinner to tell me. He’s my boyfriend, not yours. What the… It seems my treat was completely unnecessary. [Dung beetle] Jin Ling? Hello? Are you outside? Xiaoxiao is taking me back to Xiaoyu’s. That’s good. Are you outside too? I’m outside with Vorarit. I guessed. By the way, let me ask you something. Can you see the chats and all that evidence? No. Even if I could, I couldn’t tell you. I understand. Jingtian. Don’t be anxious. I’m not anxious or out of control. I asked Xiaoyu’s parents. They said they never heard Xiaoyu had insurance in Thailand or China, so I think there’s a good chance the driver was lying. Yes, but it’s possible that he didn’t buy it but said so to convince Virot. Notice what I said. It’s just possible. Jingtian. Do you trust Xiaoyu that much? I can feel that Xiaoyu had been struggling this whole time, but he was strong. I feel like he had many things he wanted to say, so I don’t think he was going to give up on himself. Anyway, Jingtian, you must adjust your mind. We’re all worried about you right now. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. My mind is fine. And my state of mind doesn’t matter at all right now. The most important thing is to clear Xiaoyu’s name. That’s good. Jingtian, be safe and sound. Or I… I can return home and stay with you for a few days. No need. Really. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to me until I get the truth for Xiaoyu. Don’t let anything happen to you even after that. Don’t forget. You’re going to take me to see the moon’s polarized light and go where we want to go. We can’t see the polarized light. Only the scarab beetles can. I don’t care. Okay. Xiaoxiao and the others are with me. Take care of yourself. Don’t worry. Mario and Vorarit will take care of me. Good. Get some rest. Okay, bye. What did he say? He said he’s fine. His main concern is Liu’s innocence. He thought Liu still had a lot to say, so he wouldn’t give himself up to suicide. Please. Can you tell me where we’re going? Xiaoyu’s house. I know it’s Xiaoyu’s house. But, please. Give me an address. I’ve been driving for so long, but… I’m sorry. I forgot. I’ll show you the navigation. Hurry up. You worry me too much. Li Yue. Are you Li Yue? Police. Please come with us. Really? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. – One, two, three, four. – OK. Shake it up. Shake it up. – One, two, three, four. – Again. Watch your eyes. – One, two, three, four. – Shake it up. – One, two. – Okay. One more time. Three, four, five. – Six, seven. – Your eyes. Eight. – One. – Go. – Two, three. – Shake it up. Shake it up. Eight. Yeah. Shake it up. Two, three, four, five, six. – Seven, eight. – Everyone. That’s it for today’s lesson. Any questions, let’s talk online, okay? Okay. Thank you all. Bye. – Bye, Ms. Liu. – Thank you, Ms. Liu. Experienced in love? He’s morally corrupt. He had many affairs. He’s a total scumbag. Tea or coffee? Thank you, ma’am. We’re not drinking anything. Madam? Call me Miss. Okay. She’s young. We should call her Miss. I’m sorry, Miss. I don’t drink either. Let’s get down to business. How did you find me? We investigated the chat logs on his cell phone. We made a list of all the women he’s had affairs with. You were one of the first. How did he die? Sort of died of a bee sting. I’ve seen videos on my phone of a swarm of bees flying around him. So weird. Look. Is this it? Yes. That’s the one. He’s fooled so many women with that trick. He said he was part of nature. Now, he really is. Did you know that Lin Meifeng was color blind? Yes. He’s red-green colorblind. I learned that not long after we met. I wore red nail polish, but he said it was gray-green. He couldn’t even tell the difference between traffic lights, so he never drove. Is there anything else you know about him? Lin Meifeng’s story is quite inspiring. When I met him, he was working as an interior decorator. He had the ambition to simply do art. I advised him not to pursue art because he was red-green color blind, but he was not willing to give up. A decade later, he really became a sculptor. I’ve seen his beehive sculptures. To tell the truth, you can’t really see his flaws. One could hardly tell he was red-green color blind. I don’t know how to put it. I think his artwork is just like him. Sneaky. Get out of the way. Get out of the way. Don’t stop. Keep going. Keep running. Just ignore me. I didn’t do it. Then why did you run away? Stop. I didn’t do it. All right. Let’s talk about it in a warm place. Let’s go. Lin Meifeng was as cunning in love as he was in other things. He calculated before he seduced a woman. He knew which women he could attract at low cost and without trouble. I found out later that his targets were always married women. He was very good at dealing with women. The important thing was that he would make you feel like you were the most special and attractive one, but afterward, you would realize that he was only in it for the sex. These women were in the dark and thought they had met their soulmate and true love. Once you fell in love with him, he began to treat you coldly in preparation for running away. You, young people, don’t be like him. It’ll be karma. See? He got karma. Yes. – We are… – Good people. Good people. Can I trust a man’s word? Ms. Liu. Are you still in touch with him? No. Didn’t you read the chat logs? I haven’t been in touch with him since we broke up. Actually, to be honest, I had a husband but no kids at that time. I wanted to live with him, but every now and then, someone would come to my house and cause trouble. Then I thought about it carefully. He seemed to have such low self-esteem that he used the women he seduced as his trophies and kept his confidence that way. Where is your husband? Abroad. He left the country after we divorced. And you didn’t remarry? Remarry? All men are the same. You’ll be the same in your old age. And the kids? Yes. I just said we didn’t have kids. It’s good to be alone, isn’t it? – Yes, it is. – Yes. Unconstrained. I’m not the worst one. I’ve heard of women who committed suicide and others who had car accidents and lost their families because of him. Lin Meifeng really deserved it. He couldn’t continue to wreak havoc on others. Is he that evil? We really didn’t see it. He deserves it. How’s it? Is it warm? A new towel. Thank you. Go ahead. What didn’t you do? I didn’t do anything. Then why did you run away? Looks like Kong Xue told you everything. Yes. Kong Xue told me Uncle Lin was color blind, but that didn’t mean I did everything. Is he old enough for you to call him Uncle Lin? Compared to me, is he an old man? If you’re so jealous of him, why do you say you didn’t do it? People say killing your father or taking your wife is unforgivable. That’s your perception. I just don’t think it’s a shame to lose such a shallow woman. Besides, I’ve been having a business trip all week, so how did I have time to commit the crime? If you don’t believe me, you can investigate. We will and don’t need you to remind us. Do you think Kong Xue and Uncle Lin loved each other? Loved each other? How could there be love between them? Uncle Lin was just a liar. Kong Xue was so naive in front of him. So gullible. I know all about it. Uncle Lin was a pervert. He made love to women everywhere. All kinds of women. I told Kong Xue all these bad things about him, and I also got the chat records, but no matter what I said, she didn’t believe me, just like she was brainwashed. What could I do? So you killed him? I didn’t. Don’t lure me in, okay? You’re a graduate of Agricultural University with a degree in pesticide environmental toxicology. You hated the victim so much and knew he was color-blind, so do you think we believe you didn’t kill him? You’re forcing the issue. I didn’t kill him anyway. If you don’t believe me, that’s fine. OK. Then try to remember if you killed him or not. We have plenty of time. Let me know when you’ve done it. Where are you going? I’ve got work to do. Sit down. Don’t move. I still have to pay the mortgage. I just got this job. I just got this job. After a few days of investigation, we found that Lin Meifeng was a womanizer. He never stopped molesting women in his life. [Lin Meifeng] According to some information we got, it’s more likely that he died in a love affair, so it’s relatively reasonable to choose this direction as a breakthrough. We’ve suffered a lot these past few days. We tried every possible way to lure them into revealing their affairs. A couple of them even got aggressive with us. We’re getting down to business. Liu Zhi, hurry up. I’ve summarized everyone’s work over the past few days and ordered them roughly according to the timeline. Those women who had been romantically involved with the deceased, in addition to the victim’s fiancée and her ex-boyfriend Li Yue, include ten other people to focus on. [Women who were romantically involved with Lin Meifeng] What’s the status of Li Yue? He’s still in custody. We’re verifying the alibi he provided. Liu Zhi, go on. Of these ten women, except for this one, all nine have something in common. They all had affairs with Lin Meifeng during their marriages. After the affair was discovered, their families and their reputations suffered greatly. These three now have new families. Some already have children. Their ex-husbands have gone overseas. These two moved to another city with their husbands shortly after the incident. We found that their families are stable. These three divorced their husbands after the incident. They all currently live alone. The living situation is good. This one died as a result of a traffic accident, and so did her child, but her husband didn’t remarry. This last one was single, but it was rumored that she died by suicide also because of Lin Meifeng. Do they have anything in common? Yes. We have no way of knowing what the two deceased women knew, but all the rest knew that Lin Meifeng had red-green color blindness. When did these women start having affairs with Lin Meifeng? The earliest was ten years ago. The most recent was six months ago. But for ten years, Lin Meifeng was having affairs with no less than three women at the same time. This means these women were sharing Lin Meifeng from time to time. It seems that Lin Meifeng deserved to die. When did the two women who passed away die? About five years ago. Five years ago? Listen. You guys can speak up if you have any ideas. Who first? Xiaoxiao. You just said this direction was relatively reasonable, so you go first. From the perspective of a love killing, firstly, we now know at least how many people hated him because of this, right? We can leave the deceased alone for now, but investigating those who’ve been aboard is easy. We just need to check immigration records. Secondly, as for the other people, whether they are single or married, we can investigate their movements based on the time of the crime, as well as their spouses’. Thirdly, after screening, we can compare those who are still suspects with those in Lin’s Apiary’s surveillance video to see what we can get. Also, I think we should not give up on Kong Xue. After all, she has both motives of love murder and property coveting. It’s possible. In that case, it’s very likely that Kong Xue and Li Yue conspired. It’s possible. Looks like you guys have something in mind. Come on, let’s get to work. So about Kong Xue… Keep an eye on her. Okay. Hello. I’m going to 305. I’ll sing for you. Please lend your ears. Fine horses, expensive robes. Tell the servant to sell these for wine. We’ll banish sorrow from this world. Good poem. Prof. Song used to sing it to us every time he got together with us and felt happy. I miss him. I miss him. I miss him. I’m sure Prof. Song will be very happy and relieved in heaven when he sees what we’ve accomplished today. Come on. Let’s drink. Let’s toast to our success! Let’s toast to our teacher! Jingzhi. [Countless scientists have worked hard] [to explore the unknown world] [and have contributed to improving the quality of human life] [and expanding living space.] [However, a very small number of academic scum] [commit crimes for their own interests.] [They will be subject to the sword of law and justice.] [Under the sun, all evil can be seen.] [All lawbreakers will be severely punished by the law!] [No animals were harmed during the filming.]
