They're not sure who the smugglers and who the passengers are but from the evidence, it's believed that at least three adults and one child may have left the scene. When a young boy finds a severed hand with the tattoo of a snake's head, the police believe the case may involve a known Chinese people smuggling ring. The case takes an even more serious turn when it's determined that one of the victims may have died of hemorrhagic fever.
