I'm looking for an episode of a Mandarin/Cantonese-speaking series.
Briefly about the series: The genre is police procedural/police crime drama (like Forensic Heroes) but the cases are often related to spiritual subjects (ghosts, voodoos, etc.). The main 2 protagonists are the opposite: the female lead believes in the superstitions while the male always has to prove that those are just hoaxes/fakes.
Okay about the episode (some details might be wrong or mixed up with other movies/series since I've watched it a long time ago):
It starts with one of the (second) protagonists (who is a cop/detective) getting a message from a celebrity friend asking him to come and help him out. There's a rumor that the celebrity used voodoo to get to where he's at, and because of a mistake his physical and mental state is unstable. He locked himself up in his apartment with a small altar in his room for a while now. The protagonist comes to ask a few things just to see that the celeb became pale with a really big belly, he comes back and tries to help a few times but doesn't work the celebrity ends up burning himself alive in his apartment.
The detectives find out who did that to him and follow her trace to her lab where she stores parasites that will make the host bellies' swell up and eat them from the inside. And she burns herself in the lab too.
And accidentally, one of the characters gets the parasites and his physical and mental health go downfall real fast. And to make things worse, he gets emotional and runs away in some dark alley (I don't complain cause he's a really good-looking guy with a real nice bump). A female colleague has to calm him down and convinces him to go back to the hospital. When he almost dies, a forensic finds out a way to get those parasites out: put a leech/another kind of parasites into his body and let them kill each other.
More about the series: it's an old series. Based on the image I recall it must be from 80s to the early 2000s. I tried to find it with my language and English keywords but there's no hope, it seems like the series was not that famous amongst the crime genre series. But I think in the right keywords in Mandarin/Cantonese we can find it with ease.
Thank you in advance whoever got the answers
