Xu Shanshan,
did you send that message in the group?
I will
show up as promised.
Who was that?
I'm going to give her another call!
The number you have dialed
cannot be reached.
Cannot be reached
Could it be
She-- She's not picking up
her house phone as well,
should we call the police?
All right, I'll come over right now.
Don't do anything reckless,
this situation cannot be explained
clearly to ordinary police.
I'm going to see Captain Xiao right now.
I have a feeling
that news article published online
might be the cause of the trouble.
Then isn't this because I
Now is not the time to
let your thoughts run wild.
Confirming Xu Shanshan's situation
as soon as possible
is our top priority!
Cheng Xiaoshi,
lock up the studio with Qiao Ling,
don't go anywhere.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
Do you want us to come with you?
Looking at Cheng Xiaoshi's current state,
it's best to let him calm down first
instead of running to
the police station in a panic
and saying things he shouldn't.
Also,
you should hold onto his phone
for safekeeping.
As of now, we can speculate
that the suspect
has quite a strong anti-social
personality disorder and aggressiveness.
He also kills at random,
with no specific intentions.
His crimes were
planned out very carefully.
Many of the cases have been
misjudged as suicide,
with only one exception.
A witness saw the victim,
Wu Lihua, getting into a car
with the man in the photo
before the incident.
After much discussion,
this morning, our superior
department finally decided to
publish the only surveillance
image of the suspect
to gather clues.
In just a few hours,
they had received many reports,
and
most of them
point to the same person.
Liu Min, male, 27 years old.
He had finished his education overseas,
and is currently working as
the executive director of a company.
Pfft, what executive director?
He just succeeded his father's position.
That's probably why people hate him.
Without any evidence,
these are all just hypotheses,
we need to keep
Captain Xiao,
there's someone here to see you.
Chen Bin, where are you doing?
You slip away during the meeting,
and you pop up now to interrupt me,
what do you want?
Uh
I got a phone call before the meeting,
so I went to pick someone up.
Hehe
Cheng Xiaoshi, calm down.
Lu Guang has gone to make a police report.
Captain Xiao seems pretty reliable,
I'm sure he'll find Shanshan.
Oh right,
there should be some related news online,
there might be some clues
Qiao Ling, you
Lu Guang instructed me,
in order to prevent you from getting
more anxious by reading the rumors,
I will be holding onto your phone
for safekeeping.
I'll go upstairs and lie down for a while,
call me when Lu Guang is back.
Didn't you say you couldn't help us?
Why are you here now?
Can you show me the photo
of the surveillance footage again?
This has to do with
the safety of a friend of mine.
What?
Your friend?
This morning, a man gave us
a strange call using her phone,
before turning the phone off.
Do you suspect that
this has something to do
with the serial killer?
It's hard to say,
but the earlier we capture the murderer,
the earlier we can get our answer.
Here.
The suspect's license plate number is
BS30X7948.
Captain Xiao?
Cheng Xiaoshi?
Hmm?
Master, are you done?
Who else has seen this photo?
This photo was posted online this morning,
everyone can see it.
--Damn it!
--Hey,
where are you rushing off to?
What about your missing friend?
Eh?
Captain Xiao, what's gotten into him?
I don't know,
these kids are so mysterious.
If it wasn't for brother Liang's
case the other day,
I would never have
believed in these things.
Well, you know what,
believe it.
Guess who is the owner of the car
with the license plate number
he rattled off just now?
Don't keep me guessing, just tell me!
It's Liu Min!
Huh?
I confiscated his phone,
and then he said he was
going upstairs to take a nap.
Lu Guang, what is going on?
Ah! Cheng Xiaoshi!
He-- He's gone!
Our abilities complement each other.
You can exist in the time
and space of the photos.
But, only under
the premise of a high-five.
Eh, is there no other way?
Unfortunately, that's the only way.
Then what if I high-five myself
and enter the photo
You'll lose contact with me.
If that happens,
you won't know anything about
what will happen in the photos.
Huh?
How--
How did I enter the photo by myself?
As usual, you only have 12 hours.
During this period,
you must keep a low profile,
as though you were never here.
I'm only going to observe
the murderer's whereabouts
and look for clues.
I won't attract anyone's attention,
nor make any unconventional moves.
Then, I'll be able to retreat unscathed.
Lu Lu Guang?
I really can't get in touch with him.
Damn it, where did he go?
Seems like this is
the surveillance camera's blind spot.
I'll just wait here for him to come back,
and then
Oh?
My phone
Lu Guang instructed me,
in order to prevent you from getting
more anxious by reading the rumors,
I will be holding onto your phone
for safekeeping.
Ah, gosh,
at this critical moment
Who's there?
It's the police.
I have a few questions
to ask Liu Min.
Mr. Liu! It's the police,
they're here to see Min Min!
Why are the police here?
They haven't stopped
showing up since this morning!
The screenshot of the surveillance
footage that you posted online
is ruining my son's life!
Mr. Liu,
we have received a lot of
information about your son,
that's why we're visiting you,
to find out the truth.
What?
You really believe the comments
of those haters online?
They just hate rich people!
This is cyberbullying!
How could my son be involved
in these serial murders?
Such nonsense.
Those people hate our company,
this is such a typical revenge psychology!
I'm so sorry for troubling you.
Hey, it's just on the way.
I don't know what's going on today,
I couldn't hail a ride.
Let's go.
Let's not keep your parents waiting.
Mr. Liu,
you can't say that.
The reason everyone has
opinions about this is because
Uhh Mr. Liu,
how about you call Liu Min out,
and we can have a chat?
What is there to chat about?
He has gone through enough these few days!
Stop making his life harder!
Go, go, go, go, go!
Ms. Zhou, come out and send them off!
Hey! Go, go, go, go, go!
Get lost!
You can ask us to leave,
but don't push us.
Dad, who's here?
Why aren't you leaving?
--Leave!
--You
Min Min, why are you out here?
My son was in a car accident a while ago,
he's already paralyzed!
How could he possibly
still go around hurting people?
If I follow this trail,
I'm bound to find some clues.
Oh my,
I'm so sorry, Mr. Liu,
I fell asleep.
That's okay,
I heard about old Mr. Zhu,
you must be upset.
If you're tired, rest a little.
Oh, about that
I
Don't worry about it,
I was simply mentioning it.
So what are your plans after this?
I want to go home,
spend time with my parents,
and find another job.
I used to have a longing for big cities.
I would work hard,
struggle if I have to.
But now that I think about it,
finding a life that suits me
is the most important thing.
Huh?
Are we going the wrong way?
The navigation system shows
congestion on the main road,
and rerouted us.
So how long will it take to get there?
I think we won't be getting there today.
What do you mean?
Mr. Liu,
what are you doing?
Open the door!
I want to get off!
Get off?
Are you trying to run away with the money?
I remember that your real name was,
was something like Wu Lihua, right?
Ah,
to make you seem like the other
intellectual white-collars,
you even gave yourself an English name,
Emma.
How disgusting.
Emma?
Why is she here?
You people are from out of town,
no matter how glamorously
you package yourselves,
it doesn't change a thing!
I didn't want to have anything
to do with the likes of you,
but
Tell me!
Where is my money?
Please,
please let me go.
I I don't know what money
you're talking about.
Fine.
Then let me refresh your memory!
How could this be?
Why is it her?
Lu Guang,
unless Lu Guang
What are these photos?
I've understood the situation.
I'm sorry.
This time, there is nothing we can do.
He had already known that
Emma was one of the victims,
so he didn't want me to
get involved in this case.
It's the middle of the night. Who is it?
Ignore it.
--Tell me! Tell me now!
--So it's because of me
Because I
Tell me!
My dear daughter,
are you home yet?
I heard from your dad
that you got criticized by your supervisor
because of the call just now.
I'm sorry.
Tell me you didn't do anything stupid.
It's because
I did something stupid
Why can't your kind of people
just leave me alone?
You live such pathetic lives,
yet online, you slander me,
criticize me!
And after all that,
you still covet my money!
Die,
die!
All of you must die!
No one's picking up.
We've been waiting for almost two hours,
where is she?
I hope nothing's happened to her.
Pooh, pooh, pooh,
pooh three times,
get rid of such unlucky words!
Pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh
Why is my kindness repaid
with such consequences?
You have to follow my commands completely,
without making any changes.
You fool,
I told you.
Let the past be,
for we cannot change the past.
Let the future be,
for the future will definitely change
because of us.
Lu Guang,
can you tell me,
what am I supposed to do now?
The door was locked the whole time,
how did he just disappear?
Cheng Xiaoshi,
please don't do anything stupid!
Lu Guang,
Cheng Xiaoshi
Where did he go?
He went
He--
He
He just appeared out of nowhere!
Qiao Ling?
Lu Guang,
why did you let Qiao Ling
I've got questions for you, too!
Why did you do it alone?
Do you know how serious
the consequences would be?
The things you've done,
the things you'll change,
are all out of your control!
I know,
I know about it all,
so I didn't do anything
What?
Then you went into the photo
It's Emma.
The one who was killed after
entering the car with the murderer
was Emma
What?
The CFO's assistant who gave us
the task with Quede Games?
Yes.
There's also something else
I want to tell you.
You've always blamed yourself
because you thought
you didn't notice Doudou
being abducted back then.
Actually, I was responsible
in that case.
Let's go and take a look,
see how long the queue is.
Cheng Xiaoshi?
It was because my sudden presence
diverted your attention away.
So you mean to say,
you can enter photos?
Yes.
My job is to enter the photos
as the executor,
while Lu Guang, as the observer,
gives me instructions on what to do.
So that's why you both always hid from me.
I always thought you were doing
some ritual with the photos!
Hello, Officer Chen,
did you catch the criminal?
Did he say anything about Xu Shanshan?
Uh, the license plate is definitely his,
but it seems that
he definitely isn't the perpetrator.
Why?
At the time, didn't a victim
named Emma enter his car?
She works at Quede Games.
It's clear the two of them are connected,
there must be some clues you can find.
You're pretty amazing,
you could even find out
about these details.
Yes, but unfortunately
How is it?
Did they catch that bastard?
No.
Lack of evidence.
How is that possible? I clearly
According to the information
from our latest investigation,
Liu Min was not present at the scene
when Emma was killed.
What?
That's the truth.
Liu Min was in the hospital
at one o'clock that night.
Besides, surveillance footage
captured Emma
walking alone on an abandoned bridge.
