Yes.

Yes, madam.

I came as soon as I put down the phone!

My motorcycle broke down on the way.

Alright, you can go now.

I hope I'm not too late.

If we weren't understaffed,

we wouldn't have called you over.

What do you need us to do?

Just stay right here.

Don't let any riffraff in.

Yes, sir!

Maestro!

Maestro!

Maestro!

I was with those guys all night.

Nothing happened.

What's going on?

They found a body.

Stay right here.

Don't let any riffraff in.

Sure thing, Maestro.

Push the motorcycle back.

It broke down again?

We borrow the dog from another town.

The ride took hours,

and he got carsick.

He won't be much use to us now.

He's in a bad state, Get him outta here.

Was anyone reported missing from your factory?

Is the corpse from our factory?

We haven't identified her yet.

We haven't gotten any missing persons report.

This winter,

an intense cold front will travel south in the coming days.

The temperature will plummet in the area.

We expect it

to hit the region on the 24th.

Where's your ride?

My motorcycle broke down on the way over.

My colleague is pushing it back.

Get in.

Sure.

Where to?

Please drop me off at the factory entrance.

Why was the victim out here in the middle of the night?

this wasn't the scene of the crime.

She was moved here.

There wasn't any trace of her being moved.

It must've been the rain.

Say, Yu,

I hear that you cracked every theft at your factory.

They all call you Detective Yu.

I get flattery like that all the time.

What's more important is whom I got my skills from.

Here, have a smoke.

Captain Zhang.

I got it already.

Did you find any witnesses?

Detective Yu...

get out and push

The victim's shirt was pushed to the top of her breasts.

Her lower body was naked.

Like the last two victims,

the back of her head was struck by a blunt object.

There are knife wounds all over her body.

Most of them are in the front.

The knife wounds aren't very deep.

Most of them are just scratches.

The wound that killed her is the severed artery on her neck.

She died from a massive loss of blood.

The same MO as the ones before.

What's going on here?

They're here to give their statements.

Is Captain Zhang here?

He's out.

Captain Zhang.

Why are all these people here?

I brought them from the factory, to help with the investigation.

You must be joking.

On the day of the crime,

those people were all absent from work.

They're all potential suspects.

I don't want to miss the critical period for solving the case.

Get them outta here.

I've brought them all the way here already,

why don't you take their statements?

The machines in the factory are still running.

That's right.

Maestro!

Whatever you were doing on the day of the crime,

write it down in detail.

Go back to the factory for now.

We just got here, now we're being sent back?

You're just wasting everyone's time!

Let's go, guys.

Cooperate, just listen and go.

You wanna stay here now?

Names and handprints.

Get their names and handprints.

First you want statements, now you want handprints,

what exactly do you want?

Exactly!

You won't give a statement or a handprint,

Sounds like you're hiding something.

Make it quick.

Hurry up!

Keep it down.

Captain 2hang.

No, thanks.

We've confirmed the identity of the victim.

She’s not from your factory.

How many victims have you found?

This is the third one.

From what we can tell,

the murders were committed by the same person.

Were they dead or alive

when they were brought out there?

They were knocked out before they were moved.

How were they moved out there?

There are plenty of ways.

Even a bicycle can get the job done.

I think it's about to rain.

We're getting close, right?

Shut up.

Let's go back.

Shut up.

Is this how the killer moved the victim?

But tying up someone like this at night

surely wouldn't go unnoticed.

She was unconscious.

What if she woke up along the way?

Someone would've heard her scream.

That's fucking bullshit, Don't make me stuff your mouth.

Such bullshit!

Kneel. Get down.

Lean forward

Face me.

Ah!

Maestro, why don't we look around?

For what?

See if the killer left any clues around.

The cops have already searched the place.

How the hell would they leave anything behind?

It hurts.

Just wait.

For what?

For the killer to come?

Maybe.

You don't know a thing, kid.

I'm telling ya,

people love returning to places where they've done things they're proud of.

What's he doing there?

Freeze!

Stop right there!

Don't move!

Stop!

Stop!

Why'd you run?

That's for running away!

Why the hell did you run?

What for?

You wanna run?

Run some more!

Speak!

Why'd you run?!

What the hell were you doing?!

Answer me!

I heard there was a murder.

It's a big deal.

I couldn't contain myself, so I came to take a look.

I don't lie.

I work the night shift.

I have nothing to do during the day,

so I like to wander around.

I don't have a lot of hobbies.

I just like to hear the other workers gossip,

Do you know the victim?
