FORENSIC HEROES II~ EPISODE 1

Must say, right from the start, I was hooked!
I really like how they started the first episode with the original cast playing ‘war game’ with each other. It seems to relate to what the series is actually about and also starts the series in a light, humorous way. It seemed to feel like it was continuing on from the previous series, but people who hadn’t watched the first series could still figure out what was going on.

They had a ‘police’ team and a ‘forensics’ team, who were trying to rescue the hostage. In the midst of shooting, Frankie accidentally shot Linda on the finger, who yelled out in pain, saying how she had hurt and finger and can’t put on the wedding ring. Frankie rushed over straight away to see if she was okay, but once he got there, Linda started shooting him! I though this scene between them was sooo sweet as they were actually my favourite couple from the first series.

With Frankie serving as a distraction, Bobby was able to rescue the hostage and the ‘forensics’ team won. Then, a player from a different game shouted out that someone had been shot dead. When they saw the dead body, they all got out their kits and started to inspect the crime scene (this was sooooo cool! I love how professional they all look).

The victim, called Chan Ji Sing had been shot dead by a lead bullet, which they found very suspicious as only safe, BB bullets were used at the centre. They questioned all of the other players and the workers at the centre, asking them if any of them had witnessed who had shot Chan Ji Sing. Two of the workers said they were in the kitchen at the time, one, the boss was at a meeting with a customer, and another had broke his glasses and gone to wash them. (Personally, I thought that the worker who had dropped his glasses was quite suspicious as he could not provide an alibi for himself.)

Just as Bobby, Frankie and Florence finished inspecting the body, there was a report of another injured person. This was a person dressed as a clown (Jack Wu) who too had been shot in the neck by a lead bullet as well. Luckily, he survived. Later, it is proven that both these bullets had come from the same gun, which means they were both shot by the same person.

At that moment, they noticed that there were swarms of flies all around them, which was generally a sign that a person had died. However, because they do not appear until about 6 hours after a person had died, they decided to take a look at the place where the flies were flying towards. There, they found another dead body, who had died after having his neck broken by a trap used for catching wild pigs. (geez, how many dead bodies are there going to be?). The victim, Wong Jing Hung, did not appear to be attacked by the same person who had killed and injured the two previous victims as he was killed using a different method and at a different time.

Florence and Fred stood each stood at where Chan Ji Sing and Jack the clown were shot, then shone a flashlight to see where the two points met. This proved to be the place from where they were shot. They concluded that the attacker must have been aiming at Chan Ji Sing, but missed, and accidentally shot Jack instead, as the distance between the two were so close that they would have been shot from the same place. (I though that was so smart of them. See, I learn something new everyday!)

This is when Charmaine makes her first appearance. She had rushed to the crime scene from a wedding because the third victim, Wong Jing Hung was her ‘line’ (that is, a person who provides her with information about the criminal world). My first impression of her was when she said ‘stop’ in the car. I thought she seemed like a cold, unfriendly person just from hearing her voice. This though was how she was meant to portray herself. Hopefully she’ll get nicer later on in the series!

They interviewed Jack Wu in the hospital, and apparently, he had gone to the crime scene to look for a missing key, but ended up getting shot in the neck instead. He also denies that he knows the two other victims.

On the back of Wong Jing Hung’s body, they found a patch of blood which they believed did not belong to him as it was too far away from the actual injury, and in the position he was lying in, the blood would have flowed onto the ground, not his back. While Frankie was performing an autopsy on him, he found many bruises and injuries on Wong Jing Hung’s body, as well as splinters in the skin of his arms. In his stomach, they found over 1kg worth of cocaine, that he was planning on smuggling into Malaysia. As Charmaine seemed to know so much about the victim, Frankie implied that her relationship with him was more that just a police-line relationship.

Back at Bobby’s house, where everyone went for dinner, there was a lot of talk about weddings. Frankie and Linda’s, Bobby and Yoyo’s (I wonder whether they will get married?), and Linda’s sister’s (Astrid Chan) wedding as well. Florence does a tarot card reading for Bobby, and Bobby then reveals that he may be going to England to study a new type of forensic technology where you can separate a person’s voice form their background. (Although this sounds pretty cool, how could he leave Yoyo? She looked pretty shocked when she heard!)

I just can’t say how much I like Frankie and Linda as a couple in this series. That’s why I’m doing more screen caps of them. He he. It’s actually quite strange, seeing as Linda’s very childish and young while Frankie is more serious at times and older than her. I guess it’s more about chemistry though...

So cute! Frankie says that he wants to go and get some dessert as an excuse to show Linda their wedding photo on display outside the wedding photo shop. So KAWAII
I swear I will cry when Linda dies, her character is so naïve, innocent and likeable in this series.

Raymond, Yoyo, Bobby and Fred go to Wong Jing Hung’s flat where there has clearly been an argument or fight of some sort. There are chairs and tables that have been thrown around and tablets (possibly cocaine) and powder on the ground. They were all taken back as evidence. Yoyo and her team then go to Wong Jing Jung’s boss’ (Dai Guei, played by Lee Sing Cheung) house to see if they could find any more clues or evidence because they were planning to travel to Malaysia together. After an unpleasant dismissal, they head over to Bobby’s lab where they got more updates on the evidence that had been tested.

The splinters found in Wong Jing Hung’s skin were identical to the wood of the wooden bat, and the signature on the bag containing huge quantities of cocaine had the boss’ signature on it. Just as they got the paperwork and authorized permission to search Wong Jing Hung’s boss’ house, Charmaine arrives and stops them from doing so, claiming that they are ‘on the wrong track’. Right after she leaves, some shocking results arrive. The fingerprints on the bat at Wong Jing Hung’s house belonged to Charmaine! (Ha! I know she isn’t a criminal or anything, but I knew she had some sort of connection with the guy!)
