The TVB drama "The Case Against the Sky 2" starring Chen Zhanpeng, Lin Xiawei, Fang Lishen, Huang Zhixian, Jiang Zuman, etc., has been a topic of conversation since its launch, and it has also achieved a first-week rating of 20.3 points, and the situation can be described as very good. In the first two episodes of this week (episodes 6-7), there is almost no progress on the main line, and the 30-year dry bone case of the branch line has become the focus of the narrative, and the process can be described as tortuous and bizarre.
When the police were investigating the housing fraud case, they accidentally discovered that the suspect Su Shiye had a strange change in the deed of a house in Sai Kung, so they decided to have Sen Sir go to the scene to find out, and found a long-dead female skeleton at the scene. There was a knife stuck in the sternum, the clothes on the sofa had Jy, apparently killed by J, and there were no documents or items in the room that could prove his identity.
In order to investigate the case, the police brought the bones and related items back for forensic examination. In addition, Sen sir and others immediately interrogated Master Su, believing that he may be the murderer for his behavior of changing the deed of the village house twice.
But according to Master Su, he did go to the village house, but it was precisely because he didn't want to get burned because he found the bones that he changed the name on the deed back to the original owner, and the forensic report also showed that the female victim died from 1993 to 1995, and the DNA extracted from jy proved that he belonged to a man with AB blood type, and Master Su was less than ten years old at the time, so the suspicion can be basically ruled out.
Subsequently, the police began a two-pronged approach, while targeting the real owner - Indonesian overseas Chinese Zhuang Liqiang, hoping to find him for investigation, and trying to find and analyze the missing persons in Hong Kong from 1993 to 1995 to confirm the identity of the victim, trying to answer the reason why the murderer did not dispose of the body for 30 years.
Subsequently, the police found that Zhuang Liqiang happened to return to Indonesia in 1993 and never returned to Hong Kong again. But unfortunately, he died 10 years ago, and the case seems to have no clue to investigate, so it can only be hastily closed.
However, Sensir's subordinate sister asserted that the murderer was definitely not Zhuang Liqiang, because she found that the victim's clothing brand only appeared in 1994, and Zhuang Liqiang left in 1993, and the timeline did not match, and the investigation returned to the original point.
In order to solve the case, Sen Sir found a well-informed and well-connected acquaintance, and hoped that he would help find the person who committed the crime in Saigon 30 years ago, and it turned out that he really found the latent criminals who may have committed the crime at a similar time and in exactly the same place. This person's name is Dakou, and about 30 years ago, he and his cousin Rib Kang went to the victim's village house to burglarize.
Dakou recalled that he didn't remember the specific year, when he let off steam, and the ribs Kang burglarized, and after 30 minutes, his cousin came out in a panic and urged him to leave, and walked to the hillside and threw away an unknown object. He also said that his cousin had been dead for several years, and that he had done almost all kinds of evil before, and that he had been sued for indecent assault, and that it was not impossible for burglary to become murder.
According to this clue, Sen sir and others found the wallet left by Rib Kang in the gap of the water pipe under the hillside, and there was an ID card in the wallet, confirming that the victim's name was Wang Shanshan, the time and place coincided, and Rib Kang had a motive and previous conviction for committing the crime, and it seemed that the murder was undoubtedly Rib Kang.
But at this point, it's reversed again. The water pipe was built in 1997, and the wallet was caught in the gap, proving that the burglary was made after Wang Shanshan's death.
In order to continue the investigation, the police began to investigate Wang Shanshan's relatives, friends and social circles before her death, and learned from her landlord that she paid rent on May 5, 1994, and promised to pay the arrears in a few days, and then never met again, and the company where she worked also said that she had not seen her again after May 5. But at this time, Sen Sir was inspired by psychological experts and determined to find the accident case near the village house for a week after May 5, 1994, and found that Ma Jiaqiang, the fourth young man of the Ma family, was hit by a truck that night and became a vegetative person, and his blood type was still AB type (only 7% of people in Hong Kong are AB type), and the truck driver also said that the other party had blood on his clothes before he was hit.
In addition, according to the confirmation of Ma Jiaqiang's aunt, Wang Shanshan and Ma Jiaqiang are indeed lovers, and they were once in love, and the DNA collected from Ma Jiaqiang also matches the DNA on the clothes where Wang Shanshan was victimized. At this point, the truth seems to be about to come out, and the murderer is Ma Jiaqiang.
But the most speechless thing is that according to the trailer of episode 8, when Professor Tang did brainwave inquiries to Ma Jiaqiang, who was still conscious and able to accept information from the outside world but was not sober, he realized that Ma Jiaqiang did not know that Wang Shanshan was dead. He doesn't seem to be the murderer.
To sum up, there are 4 suspects in the dry bone case unit, including Master Su, Zhuang Liqiang, Pai Gu Kang, and Ma Jiaqiang, and they have been reversed a total of 4 times, and the real murderer has not yet been known. I have to say that TVB successfully played an infinite nesting doll once. But is this kind of plot development really necessary for the sake of reversal? At least I don't think so.
