Recap
The seventh episode of “Copycat Killer” continues with the shocking revelation that Jian-ho is suspected of the serial killer Noh. This leads to a media frenzy as the news spreads like wildfire, causing a public uproar. Jia-yi’s body is found with her hand missing, just as it was discovered, and the prosecutors close the case, leaving Kuo in shock.
He turns to Yun-hui, Jian-ho’s sister and his superior, asking her to autopsy Jian-ho’s body to rule him out as the killer, but this request upsets Yun-hui.
The family of Noh’s victims appears at Jian-ho’s memorial service, demanding answers from Yun-hui.
