Nightfall Page #3

Synopsis: A mutilated corpse appears to be a straightforward case of revenge killing, but as Inspector Lam zeroes in on the ex-con prime suspect, he finds himself confronting a web of lies. To reach the truth, Lam must delve into the details of a 20-year-old case for answers (a case in which he finds himself to have had an incidental part).

Based on the digestion in the victim's stomach

and wound analysis,

the time of death

was around 10 pm two nights ago,

give or take 30 minutes.

So the beach isn't the crime scene.

Probably somewhere else.

Another important discovery is this button.

It was inside the victim's mouth.

Did forensics work out the victim's identity?

They sent the report an hour ago.

Have a look, sir.

Here's a mockup of the victim

after analysing the skull, tissue and DNA.

He's a celebrity.

That'll make the front pages.

Look up everyone in Contact with him

and bring them all in.

What kind of people are these?

Who would live in a place like a prison?

That night,

my daughter and I stayed home all night.

Have you finished taking photo?

I want to ask you another question.

Do you love your husband?

What do you mean by that?

Of course I do.

No one would love my husband as much as I do.

And he loved this home too.

If you love him so much,

weren't you worried that

he hadn't come home?

Didn't I answer this before?

How could I worry so much? I don't know.

Daddy would often go drinking with friends

or stay in the studio all night.

My husband was a first-class musician.

He needed time to himself.

We're getting old as couple.

I wouldn't bother asking him too much.

Zoe, go back to your room.

Wow!

Your husband

put up many of his photos on the wall.

Over all these years,

I took all those photos of my husband.

Don't mind if I walk around

to appreciate the art, do you?

Don't be too upset.

Be strong.

Don't worry.

We'll do our best to catch the murderer.

Thank you.

Thanks for your hard work.

No need to thank us now.

We haven't caught the murderer yet.

What a good kid.

Your daddy must have loved you very much.

We won't finish checking till next month

if you keep adding names to the chart.

I need to check everyone

linked to the Tsui family

within the next two days.

t's like a needle in a haystack.

If we expand the investigation to everyone

who knows the Tsui family,

by then the murderer might have fled town.

If we don't investigate, how could we know?

We're not prophets.

Sorry.

He had another daughter?

She died 21 years ago.

Eva Tsui?

How come she looks like Zoe Tsui?

She's been dead 21 years. How to check on her?

Check on a ghost?

She's related to the family.

How did she die?

t's horrible.

someone broke into her house and raped her

and killed her.

The case was solved.

Here's the culprit.

Caught red-handed and sentenced to life.

Give me the case file.

He looks familiar.

Hello?

Hello?

Why are you staring at me?

I didn't stare at you.

I was looking for you.

I knew you'd be here drinking.
