Drifting Away Episode 1 Recap
> Drifting Away Recap
In 2002, in Snow City, after a hockey match, everyone relaxed in a sauna, but Peng Zhaolin was still thinking about a case from a couple of days ago. In a noisy bar bathroom, Song Ying greeted Huang Ying. The two quickly became acquainted, and Song Ying invited Huang Ying to dinner that evening, mentioning that someone else was hosting. However, it turned out to be a trap. At the Bishui Jiayuan residential area, someone reported finding dismembered body parts.
The police were dispatched immediately. Huang Ying, Deng Ligang, and Shi Bi, the perpetrators, noticed the commotion. Deng Ligang returned to the apartment to retrieve tools and a large amount of cash. Peng Zhaolin soon discovered a clue: the upstairs and downstairs apartments seemed to share the same drainage system. As he went upstairs, he happened to encounter Deng Ligang. Deng responded calmly to Peng’s questions before leaving the community and driving away.
Peng Zhaolin then entered apartment 402, where he found no one home. Cautiously, he entered the bathroom and discovered a large amount of blood and a meat grinder. The victim's dismembered body parts were scattered throughout the apartment. Peng asked the residents of apartment 401 about their neighbors and learned they hadn’t seen anyone. Realizing the long-haired man who had just claimed to be from 401 was lying, Peng identified him as a suspect.
While Deng Ligang and his accomplices were fleeing, they encountered a highway roadblock. The group began to panic but managed to slip through due to a conflict that arose behind their car. The police later conducted a thorough inspection of vehicles entering and exiting the highway but found no leads. Records showed that apartment 402 was rented under the name Li Jianfeng.
Peng Zhaolin called the listed phone number, but the person on the other end didn’t believe he was a police officer. When Peng located Li Jianfeng, Li claimed his ID had been lost a long time ago and denied any involvement. Peng revisited the crime scene and unexpectedly found Shi Bi’s driver’s license. In the car fleeing Snow City, Shi Bi, Deng Ligang, and Song Ying each harbored their own thoughts.
Shen Xia, who had witnessed the discovery of the dismembered body, was deeply disturbed. She could only prepare vegetarian meals for her family, claiming she couldn’t stomach meat for half a month. Peng Zhaolin felt the same, and when his wife, Cheng Guo, served braised pork, he gagged at the sight of it. The father of the victim, Huang Ying, was located. Upon hearing the news of his daughter’s death, he was unable to accept it.
Numerous fingerprints were found at the crime scene, many matching Deng Ligang’s. Additionally, it was discovered that Song Ying’s real name was Song Hongyu, further connecting Deng Ligang and Song Hongyu to the crime. Deng Ligang and his group used Li Jianfeng’s stolen ID to open a bank account containing a significant amount of cash. They withdrew money as they traveled, while Peng Zhaolin and his team pursued them. At this point, only 3,000 yuan remained in the account.
Deng Ligang and his group displayed strong counter-surveillance awareness. Five minutes ago, the account had been used to withdraw money in Liangxi, frustrating Peng Zhaolin. Meanwhile, Ji Dashun killed another woman, dismembering her and disposing of her bones at a bone-processing shop, by the roadside, and even in a garbage truck—his actions were extraordinarily brazen.
