Painted Bone Woman (画骨女仵作)

In the twentieth year of the Qizhen era,

there was a female coroner surnamed Ji in Northern Liang.

She had extraordinary skills.

Whether the corpses were bloody, blurry,

or burnt,

or even reduced to mere bones,

she could depict the deceased's features

and uncover subtle clues.

She was nicknamed.

"Bone-Painting Female Coroner."

Yunshu. Yunshu. Yunshu.

Wake up, Yunshu.

Rushuang?

Are you muddled?

Today is your wedding day.

My wedding?

There is no time to explain.

Hurry up. Sit down.

Sit down.

Give me the comb.

Headpieces and a ceremonial gown？.

The ceremony is completed.

Send her to the bridal chamber.

Your Highness, there is a secret report from Dou Yuan.

The Twelve Secret Guards who killed your uncle

appeared at East Suburb Inn.

Is it true?

Yes.

Why did Dou Yuan ask us to meet at a coffin shop?

I'm curious too.

Be careful.

Yes.

Is Dou Yuan here?

Why is there the smell of scented powder?

Watch out!

Greetings, Your Highness.

You are not Dou Yuan.

Go to hell!

Chuwu Sword?

You are members of the Twelve Secret Guards?

Watch out, sir!

Where is this?

It's a brothel.

Come on. Drink with me.

Don't leave in a hurry today.

I won't go anywhere.

Let's go and listen to some music.

Let's go.

Amazing!

Who?

What are you doing? Stop!

Let go!

Where is Dou Yuan?

What are you talking about? Let go of me!

There's no trace of light oil burning.

It's not you.

Stop!

Do you think you can leave here as you wish?

Where did you rapist come from?

Mrs. Mei, there's a rapist!

What's up?

How dare you

make a mess at Huichun House?

Sir,

dare you take them by force at my place?

Maybe I have some misunderstanding

with these two ladies.

I have something to deal with.

I'm leaving.

You look decent.

Don't you have money?

If you don't have money,

then, you can leave your sword here

or your clothes.

Langpo, pay them.

Yes.

You...

Candied hawthorn berries.

Excuse me, sir.

Uncle,

I used to eat the candied haws you made when I was young.

It has been seven years.

I haven't found the mastermind of the Twelve Secret Guards yet.

I will find out

why

they killed your family.

Sir.

We haven't found any clues about Dou Yuan yet.

But we found her brother, Dou Jian.

He was at East Suburb Inn.

But...

What?

The inn caught fire.

What?

Let's go!

Stand back.

What are you doing?

Stop looking.

It's not a monkey show.

Why are you standing so forward?

Step back. Step back.

Look, she knows how to draw a portrait.

Let's go out. This is it.

Let me see.

It's him.

This is my husband.

This is the one who was burnt just now, right?

That's my husband.

Our spy located him last night.

But the inn caught fire.

Hu Kun.

- We don't know if he's still alive. - Hu Kun!

Is anyone dead?

Is anyone dead?

So many people died.

Exactly.

I'll lose my position.

My lord.

Calm down.

According to my analysis,

someone must have built a campfire here last night

and caused the fire.

It was an accident?

Yes.

Good. That's great.

It was just an accident.

Ask the family to identify the bodies.

Tell them to leave.

Come on, villagers.

There's nothing special.

The cause of death of the remaining two bodies

has to be confirmed by the government.

Stop looking.

Bring them back to the Public Charnel House later.

Since you have a problem with the bodies,

why don't you announce the result here?

Officials are investigating the case.

All bystanders should get lost.

I'm just worried that

someone deliberately set fire.

If you carry the bodies away,

the evidence will be gone.

By then, the government will attribute the fire to campfire

and settle the case hastily.

Well... well...

How dare you, a bystander,

spout nonsense

to obstruct the investigation?

Guards!

Yes.

Arrest him!

Yes.

Stop!

The occipital bones of the deceased were broken.

Their sphenoid bones rose.

Their maxillae were slightly tilted.

All this means their necks

were cut by sharp weapons.

They bled a lot before death.

There was no foreign object in his mouth.

Obviously, the deceased were

killed and then burned.

This is a premeditated arson.

Isn't this Dou Jian's portrait?

Why is it her?

He's haunting me.

It's you again.

Enemies often cross paths.

This coroner can draw the dead's portrait

based on the bones of the body.

She is someone.

Yes.

I'll ask her then.

Coroner, do you know Dou Jian,

the one in the portrait?

Who is Dou Jian?

Let go!

You forced me to announce the autopsy results on the spot.

And now you're obstructing the official investigation.

I think you two are very suspicious.

I...

Young Hero,

Well...

Young hero,

our coroner can not only draw portraits by recognizing the bones

but also find out the clues

of the dead before his death from the portrait.

After she finishes drawing,

she will give you a satisfying explanation.

What do you think?

Why should I draw for him?

Well.

Your father instructed me

that...

It's fine.

I didn't expect Yunshu to be so talented.

She could draw one's portrait based on his bones.

This ability is very dangerous.

Uncle Fu, keep an eye on her.

Don't let her use it recklessly.
