Forensic Heroes II~Episode 8

I’m beginning to think that the only reason that Astrid and Savio came back was to form another case. This seems kind of pointless and I’m hoping for there to be some more intriguing cases and more twists. Right now, all the cases seem to be too easily solved and there are no twists or unpredictable events like in the prequel.

They think that this is a ‘complicated’ case as there has been evidence of struggle and maybe a fight of some sort, but strangely, Savio still had most of his valuable possessions… except for his wedding ring.



I feel so sorry for Astrid. Originally, she had come to Hong Kong for Linda’s wedding, but ended up coming to her funeral instead. Then, she finds out her husband has a brain tumour and he dies as well!



Yoyo is finally able to put the past behind her and is becoming more optimistic!
She visits the 重案組 team. Sadly, she can’t be one of the front-liners anymore but has decided to come back to the police force and work in the CRB department instead, which mainly deals with paperwork.



Vivien says she knows where Savio might have gone to eat the dumplings found in his stomach, and Charmaine says, ‘Being greedy has its benefits too’. Vivien asks whether that was meant as a compliment or a put down?’ and Raymond says ‘What do you think?’ Personally, I think Charmaine was trying to be funny, but it kind of back fired!



When looking back at the surveillance tapes at the dumpling shop, they found two suspects, who had both left the shop straight after Savio. One of the suspects had squeezed a pimple and wiped his blood onto the back of the tables. His blood DNA was the same as the blood found in Savio’s nails. Also, the suspect had dropped a packet of tissues which had a strand of his hair stuck to it. Kevin found that his hair was extremely oily and had a lot of dandruff.



They concluded that the suspect was a grown man with an illness which caused bad cases of acne and also hair loss, so he must have been wearing a wig. While asking at all the shops that sold wigs in that area, Charmaine spotted the suspect and chased after him. To catch him, she jumped onto the roof of a walkway, onto a truck and leapt off on top of the guy. Impressive! (Though she probably had a stuntwoman doing it for her.)



The suspect, 江有全 had wanted to rob Savio and Savio had willingly given him his wallet because he had been planning to commit suicide anyway. However, he changed his mind when he heard someone playing the song ‘You are my Angel’ on the saxophone. At that moment, 江有全 tried to grab his wedding ring off him. When he eventually got the ring and pushed Savio away, Savio had tripped on one of the stools and fallen over the edge.



Astrid goes back to the balcony that Savio had fallen down from. there, she heard the song ‘You are my Angel’ which was what Savio had heard that day before he died.
So stupid! If the robber had just taken the money and left, instead of trying to get the ring as well, Savio would still be alive. I was hoping there would be more to this case than just a robbery gone wrong.
