Forensic Heroes II~Episode 9

Astrid has decided to return to the U.S now to get back to her work there. I am amazed, maybe even a little disbelieving at how fast she can recover from her husband’s death. Though it is true that as a doctor, she often faces thing like death and illness.



Macy had deliberately requested to be sent to 西九龍 police station just so she can work in the same region as Charmaine, who is her idol. On her first day, she brings in cake for the 重案組 team and invites them all to her house to try out her mum’s cooking, Coincidentally, the cake she brings in (拿破崙) is one of Charmaine’s family’s favourites, and Charmaine even buys a cake from her.



When Charmaine comes to pick up the food, she is surprised to see Kevin there and also insists on paying although Connie (Macy’s mum) says she doesn’t have to. Kevin: ‘Just let her pay, in the police force, nobody dares argue with her!’Kevin then volunteers to carry the food to Charmaine’s car for her. Charmaine: ‘You don’t have to. Besides, you said nobody on the police force dares argue with me.’ Kevin: ‘Yes, but we aren’t at the police station now’.



On the way to her car, a kid skating past accidentally causes Charmaine to knock over her stepmother’s bag. This starts up an argument and her stepmother says to Kevin: ‘You’re her boyfriend? You’re pretty brave! I wish you good luck, she has a name to call-‘
Charmaine: ‘If you’re bold enough, say it.’
Stepmother: ‘Why aren’t I bold enough, it’s just three words.’
Charmaine glares at her.
Stepmother: ‘What? I’ll really say it.’
Charmaine: ‘Say it!’



At lunch, they all let Matthew sit at their table because they want to find out what the three words are. Matthew thinks that he knows and says: 死-野-女. Haha, they all look they like are pulling a funny face!



*New case

Somehow, there doesn’t seem to be anything suspicious about it, so I don’t have much hope that this will be any better than the previous cases. A woman is dead after being hit by a van driven by a father who was doing a delivery with his son.
Basically, there are two main suspects, the father and the son. The father had said he was driving, and had sounded the horn when he saw the woman walking out on the road. However, if so, there should have been a palm print there, but there wasn’t. This is because he was wearing gloves. The gloves had two types of DNA, belonging to the father and the son.



However, the son’s fingerprints were nowhere to be found on the steering wheel. Also, the steering wheel had a dent in it, which may have been caused by an accessory from the driver when they braked and hit the steering wheel. They proved that the driver was actually the son because the brake pedal had his shoe print and he had a bruise on his chest.



Argh, quite disappointing. So far, to me, most of the cases are just to show off how forensics can be used to solve crimes and all that, but there hasn’t been anything even slightly more interesting or worth biting your nails over yet. I hope there will soon be a case like the one where Charmaine Li played Tracey in FH1!
