Pinnacle of Light

1
There's 20 minutes left
to the time of the incident.
How are you?
Are you ready?
Mhmm, no problem.
After the murderer breaks in,
he'll hide in the bathroom.
After you turn on the light,
he'll lunge at you with a knife.
This is the best opportunity
to rip his mask off
Lu Guang.
This time, can you let me take the lead?
You?
What do you mean?
Do you remember
the message the murderer left
when Qiao Ling last called Xu Shanshan?
Yes.
I will show up as promised.
That's what I thought.
What if I'm the person
who made an appointment with him?
Are you saying that
because of us diving back into the photo,
we have created an alternate timeline?
That's right.
If you think about it this way
it all makes sense.
So what do you plan to do?
Follow his train of thought,
give him a few hints,
and bring him into the game.
I'll regard Emma's message
sent at 10 am as hint.
Here we are.
I'm sure perverts like him
who commit such meticulous crimes
can't stand being
seen through and provoked.
After he takes the bait,
we can make our next move--
"Please enter the urn."
Why do you think he would
he walk right into your trap?
Because of the motion sensor
doorbell in our shop.
Come and receive guests!
Come and receive guests!
I've re-recorded a small section
and placed it in the darkroom.
You're pretty punctual.
The moment he enters
You're pretty punctual.
No wonder you were dawdling around
in the darkroom all afternoon,
you were preparing for this.
Wow.
Getting your approval
really isn't an easy thing.
There's another problem.
Even if we can catch
the person who spoke to us,
how can we prove
that he is the serial killer?
This is the most exciting
part of the plan,
but also the most dangerous.
Are you surprised
that I'm prepared?
Since I can talk to you through her,
naturally, I have ways
to perceive your every move.
Let's play a game.
You'll receive a clue
at ten in the morning.
My phone
Tomorrow at this time,
use the clue to find me.
Interesting!
If I win, will you promise
to be my new friend?
I won't inform the police,
but you must ensure Xu Shanshan's safety.
I've locked him inside!
Well then,
the game
is over!
Oh.
So it really is you.
How interesting!
Is killing innocent people
interesting to you, too?
Killing innocent people?
I'd never do such a worthless thing.
That doesn't hurt at all.
Oh, you're gone.
I've finally found my true friend.
Even if we can catch the person
who spoke to us,
how can we prove
that he is the serial killer?
This is the most exciting
part of the plan,
but also the most dangerous.
What are these?
I went through various social media
accounts on SNS.
By sticking these photos
all over the darkroom,
I can defeat him with ease.
I'll provoke him.
A competitive person like him
will inevitably expose his weak points.
Gosh, what is this?
You only care about yourself,
and you cut off half my face!
Then, then you do it.
My hand is too short,
my face would look too big.
It's better if you do it.
Um, pig head,
why are you daydreaming?
Why should I repent?
What did I do wrong?
Your parents are in a rush
for you to get married,
but you seem pretty calm.
Well, is marriage that important?
Come, Juan Juan, sit properly.
Let Mommy take a photo of you.
Oh my goodness,
I think you might as well spend
the rest of your life with it.
Committees of each class,
gather after this meeting
To collect the monthly
exam papers and transcripts.
We're having such a serious
school meeting, yet here you are,
secretly taking photos of
your female classmates.
Are you not ashamed?
Each photo here represents
a life you've destroyed.
And the victims have done nothing wrong!
The police is investigating
Chenjin's cause of death.
I see.
It's done through clapping.
Let me see,
were my eyes closed?
Hmm, this is pretty good.
I'll go home and edit it a little,
then I'll post it on Weibo.
Why do young people
love posting stuff online?
Hey, what do you know?
This is called sharing.
Don't you also constantly show off
the designer sweater
that our daughter bought you?
How is that the same?
I'm just showing it off
in our small neighborhood.
To deprive a person of their life
is to destroy the happiness
of so many more.
These innocent victims
are suffering so much
because of you!
I'm just interested in you.
Whether those other people live well
or not has nothing to do with me.
So it really is you!
You're wrong.
I'm not the one who wanted to kill them.
I'm just an agent.
What do you mean?
I was the one
who killed those people.
Why would you do that?
Hatred?
Jealousy?
Or maybe anger?
Whatever.
As long as I had fun.
Besides, there's no one in this world
that can catch me.
Why should I care?
Is that so?
He admitted to it--arrest him!
Liu Min!
It's you after all!
Good job.
You made me admire you even more.
Stop moving!
We'll meet again.
When that time comes,
make sure you don't cheat again.
Stand properly!
It's too late to pretend to be crippled!
Get up and walk yourself!
Even though you guys caught him,
methods like this aren't encouraged.
In the future, you have to let us know
as soon as possible.
Oh, I'm sorry.
We only just realized that
he might come and cause trouble,
so we took some temporary measures.
We sent officers to search
Liu Min's other residences,
and we found Xu Shanshan
in the garage of one of his villas.
--She's not hurt,
just a little frightened.
--Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang!
Are you all right?
Yes, we're fine.
They've found Shanshan, too.
I'll tell you the details
of the situation later.
This Lu Guang seems
too mature to be a kid.
Officer Chen, I hope you can
help me with something.
I can't take my mind off Emma's case.
If it's possible, can I
Liu Min, don't pretend to be dumb.
We could clearly hear
everything you said just now
from outside the door.
Sir,
I really don't remember anything.
Who did you ask?
We found Xu Shanshan in your garage,
yet you still deny
being the serial killer?
What if I told you
that my friend was the one
who did all of this,
would you believe me?
What? You have an accomplice?
All right then.
In chronological order of the crimes,
tell us everything--
everything you know.
I remember this bitch clearly.
That's more or less what happened.
Cheng Xiaoshi planned the arrest.
Oh wow, Cheng Xiaoshi,
I never knew you could be
reliable as well.
Huh?
It's no big deal.
Are you okay?
Your mind is somewhere else.
Something's still troubling me
and I can't find the answer.
It's Liu Min's alibi
in Emma's case.
If that's the case,
is Emma's murderer someone else?
This is a surveillance photo
of Wu Lihua before her death,
remember not to share it with anyone else.
I requested Emma's surveillance
photos from Officer Chen.
Lu Guang, take a look.
See if you can find any clues.
This Emma person worked in
our company's finance department.
She was new, yet it wasn't long before
she was promoted to become
the CFO's assistant.
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 suspected that she took my money
while Old Man Zhu was being arrested.
I just wanted to scare her a little,
but unfortunately
You people at the bottom of the society,
why do you always give me trouble?
You live like dogs,
yet online, you slander me,
criticize me!
And after all that,
you still covet my money!
Die, die!
All of you must die!
At the time, I was terrified.
I thought I had accidentally
killed someone,
and there was even a witness.
But there was no one in the trunk.
I thought I had bumped into a ghost.
Why does it sound like
you're trying to fool me?
So how did Wu Lihua die in the end?
I got back in the car in a hurry,
I wanted to send the woman
to the hospital, but
Ghost!
There's only one camera
on the abandoned bridge,
and the field of vision is too small.
All I can see
is a pretty injured Emma.
I thought she had turned into a zombie,
I was too afraid to even
grip the steering wheel.
That bitch even lunged at me.
Let me get off!
--Go away!
--Let me get off!
That's how I crashed the car,
and then I passed out.
This leg is also thanks to her.
Lu Guang, let me dive into
the photo and check it out.
The truth may not give you
a satisfactory answer.
Let me witness it personally this time.
But Emma's fate
changed because of me.
That's why I'll try again
no matter what happens.
You bitch, I'll make you pay.
I'll kill your whole family!
What's so great about this shoe?
What do you know?
This is fashion.
So fashion is basically a comparison
of whose is more expensive.
When I grow up and work in the city,
I'll dress you guys up
in the most fashionable
clothing from head to toe.
Our Lihua is currently working as an
executive at that Haode Games company!
Dad, it's Quede Games.
Oh, it's the same.
Besides, it's just the CFO's assistant.
Listen to that.
It's "Chief,"
and in charge of finance!
When she was young,
she always said
she would go to the city
and make money for us to spend.
Haha, look at her now,
she's doing pretty well.
My dear daughter,
you're doing well.
Emma,
this toast is to you.
Uh, Mr. Zhu,
I don't know how to drink.
Is drinking something you need to learn?
Exactly. Who needs to learn to drink?
Just drink it then you'll know how to.
Mr. Zhu's hand is getting tired.
Drink!
Drink!
Drink!
Drink!
Drink!
Drink!
Drink!
You got promoted.
Shouldn't you at least
have a toast as gratitude?
Thank you, Mr. Zhu.
Wow!
Great!
People who can drink
can really drink, right?
One more drink!
One more drink!
My dear daughter,
how are you lately?
That's enough now,
she's busy,
don't keep disturbing her all the time.
I'm afraid of disturbing her,
that's why I've been
texting her so little.
Emma!
Who are you?
I'm sorry.
Your misfortune tonight
is all because of me.
Someone once warned me
that I cannot change the past,
but I didn't listen.
I thought replying to your
mother's text on behalf of you
would make all of you happier.
You sent that message on behalf of me?
How is that possible?
Who exactly are you?
My name is Cheng Xiaoshi.
I have the ability to dive back
into the past through photos.
I've returned to this moment
to make up for my mistakes.
If that's true,
can you help me return to the beginning
and start all over?
Mr. Zhu,
why are there two sets of accounts?
And also,
in the other set of accounts,
the depreciation of fixed assets
is ridiculously high.
Emma,
you learn very quickly,
and you're very detailed.
But you don't have enough
experience in the real world.
Some accounts can't be calculated
clearly just by studying.
But this is obviously
creating false accounts.
If we were to be discovered, we would
Go to jail?
Does a son need to go to jail
for stealing his father's money?
Liu Min has been financially cut off
by his father a long time ago.
He wanted me to get him
some pocket money from his father.
I can do someone a favor,
and collect some levy as well,
why not?
And besides,
this is their family matter,
the law can't do anything about it.
You've been working so hard recently.
This is an advance bonus for you.
You should save up some money,
buy a house in the city,
and bring your family here soon.
I want to go back in time,
return that dirty money,
and reject Zhu's harassment.
I want to start a new life!
I've experienced many different lives,
but there's always something
I regret in almost every life.
To expand influence,
to allow my brand name
to be used everywhere,
the noodle business
no longer belongs to me.
I can't let it go.
I really can't.
Ok, pinky promise!
It's daddy's fault
It's daddy's fault
Come back to me
And every time,
no matter how hard I try
there's no guarantee
I can get a perfect ending.
Maybe I can't give you a perfect past,
but I can't let you miss out
on a better future.
Future?
What future do I have left?
This is what I've learned
from all the people that are
trying their best to live.
Some people persevere
their whole life for love.
Ou Yang, I've come to marry you!
Lin Zhen.
Some people get lost
before finding themselves again.
Welcome back.
As long as mom is here,
you'll be just fine.
Some people have taught me
what it is to be a parent.
As long as you keep looking
and keep looking
for ten years,
20 years, or even more
You'll final get the answer
you've longed for.
And some people
have finally gotten their answer.
I believe
everyone has a reason
to try their best to live.
Even though there are times
when we find ourselves in the darkness
eventually, we will meet people
who will shine their light on us.
Captain Xiao, how is it?
Has he told you everything?
He kept going on and on
about how his friend was the culprit,
and none of this has anything
to do with him.
Does he have schizophrenia?
Or Multiple Personality Disorder?
Maybe he mistook one of his
other personalities to be his friend?
Impossible.
The doctor has issued a statement
proving that he's mentally sound.
Hey, speaking of doctor's statement,
shouldn't he be paralyzed?
Then, how did he run into
the photo studio?
My friend,
come quickly!
Come and help me kill
all these annoying insects!
How is this possible?
Death is a major node
that cannot be changed.
Hmm?
Are you talking to Cheng Xiaoshi?
Didn't you say that
nothing in this world is absolute?
I didn't realize
there was a witness.
Interesting.
This voice
Unless,
Liu Min is just a puppet,
and the real culprit is someone else!
We have to shoot the photos well,
and let everybody in school notice us.
No problem, Captain.
I'm a professional.
Why are my glasses making things worse?
My son had an accident not long ago,
and was paralyzed.
He couldn't have committed the crime!
Could it be
Are you his friend?
You're someone
with the ability to possess spirits.
Emma!
Qiao Ling!
This is your punishment for
breaking the rules of the game.
Who the heck are you?
Now, the game has been reset.
