When I turn on the AC it start to bring a smell like a Rotten Water.
and I thought there must be something wrong in the Drain but I just do not know where is the drainage.

You got microbes growing on the evaporator-Go to an AC shop and get a chemical spray for it-also inspect/clean the drain tube-location, sorry I don't know for this vehicle

The chemical spray will remove the odor just spray thru the vents instead of the evaporator it wil kill the microbes/bacteria
