[00:28] ---
Hold on.
[00:31] ---
You should ask me first
[00:32] ---
before taking on a task.
[00:49] ---
What do you think?
[00:51] ---
Can we help?
[00:54] ---
What are these photos?
[00:56] ---
This suspect is cunning and seasoned,
[00:58] ---
his modus operandi
is extremely meticulous.
[01:01] ---
This is the only surveillance photo
that managed to capture his image.
[01:05] ---
What crime did he commit?
[01:06] ---
There have been frequent
homicides happening lately.
[01:08] ---
There were no obvious motives
for these murders,
[01:10] ---
and there were no specific connections
among the victims.
[01:13] ---
So we've deduced that
this is probably a serial homicide.
[01:18] ---
However, based on the clues
we have so far,
[01:20] ---
it seems that finding the killer
is not going to be that simple.
[01:23] ---
What?
[01:24] ---
What an inhuman pervert!
[01:26] ---
Who are you talking about?
[01:28] ---
It is imperative that
we help with this case!
[01:29] ---
We have to catch him as soon as possible
[01:30] ---
to prevent someone else
from becoming a victim!
[01:31] ---
Cheng Xiaoshi,
[01:33] ---
who gave you the right to speak for us?
[01:35] ---
Captain Xiao, don't listen to him.
[01:37] ---
It's still up to Lu Guang
to decide whether or not we can help.
[01:39] ---
I've looked at the general situation.
[01:41] ---
I'm sorry,
[01:42] ---
but this time,
[01:43] ---
there's nothing we can do.
[01:46] ---
Huh? Lu Guang, that's it?
[01:49] ---
Did you see it clearly?
[01:50] ---
Come on, let's go!
[01:59] ---
Hey, Lu Guang,
[02:00] ---
did you look at the photos carefully?
[02:01] ---
Shut up.
[02:02] ---
This is such a big case,
it's not a joke!
[02:05] ---
Anyway, I trust Lu Guang's judgment!
[03:31] ---
Lu Guang,
are you sure you saw it clearly?
[03:34] ---
You rarely ever say no.
[03:37] ---
Who was the one who
wanted to take a break?
[03:39] ---
Uh, I,
[03:40] ---
at the time,
[03:42] ---
I mean, but after that,
[03:43] ---
um, I just...
[03:47] ---
Come and receive guests!
[03:49] ---
Welcome, my landlady...
[03:51] ---
Boss, welcome in!
[03:52] ---
Hey, Xu Shanshan, why are you here
instead of studying?
[03:57] ---
Heh,
[03:58] ---
I'm here because I care about
the reemployment of the jobless.
[04:01] ---
Oh my,
[04:02] ---
so you're here to observe
the regular people's life.
[04:04] ---
It's no wonder,
[04:05] ---
after all, it's easy to grow out of touch
with society after studying so much,
[04:08] ---
I understand.
[04:11] ---
I have no choice,
[04:12] ---
unlike certain people,
[04:14] ---
who has rely on others
to survive even after graduation.
[04:17] ---
Mind your words,
[04:18] ---
who's relying on whom to survive?
[04:19] ---
Am I wrong?
[04:20] ---
The house is provided by Qiao,
[04:21] ---
the business is managed by Lu Guang,
[04:23] ---
aren't you just a good-for-nothing?
[04:24] ---
We are partners!
[04:25] ---
Don't poison the well if you don't
understand the situation clearly!
[04:28] ---
You only look at the surface of things,
[04:30] ---
you have such low EQ!
[04:31] ---
Quiet!
[04:32] ---
What have I always told you?
[04:33] ---
We must be considerate and
attentive to our customers.
[04:37] ---
What customers?
[04:40] ---
Unless...
[04:41] ---
Hmph, if it wasn't Qiao who convinced me
to come and give it a try,
[04:44] ---
I wouldn't even want to be here.
[04:47] ---
Shanshan,
[04:49] ---
what do you need help with?
[04:50] ---
Well,
[04:51] ---
let me tell you about it!
[04:53] ---
To begin,
[04:54] ---
let us return to
[04:56] ---
our vigorous
[04:57] ---
university days.
[05:00] ---
Do you still remember,
[05:01] ---
aside from the three of us,
there was another good friend
[05:03] ---
hanging around our beautiful Miss Xu?
[05:05] ---
Dong Yi.
[05:07] ---
Fine, then,
[05:08] ---
but you'll have to help me take this.
[05:10] ---
I'll come and get it from you at
your dormitory after I get back tonight.
[05:15] ---
What time?
[05:16] ---
If the entrance of
the dormitory is locked,
[05:17] ---
I'll have to throw it down to you
from the window.
[05:19] ---
The two of you are basically like
an old married couple,
[05:21] ---
why not clarify your relationship?
[05:23] ---
Pfft,
[05:24] ---
shouldn't boys take the initiative
in such matters?
[05:31] ---
Dong Yi,
[05:32] ---
over here!
[05:34] ---
Here, this is for you.
[05:36] ---
Two fried eggs, slightly spicy,
[05:38] ---
one sausage, no coriander.
[05:40] ---
Thanks, how much is it?
[05:41] ---
I'll transfer the money to you via WeChat.
[05:43] ---
Are you serious?
[05:44] ---
Talking about money hurts relationships.
[05:46] ---
Let's talk about
other conditions, shall we?
[05:48] ---
Uh...
[05:54] ---
Yes!
[05:55] ---
I've finally reached Platinum!
[05:57] ---
My ranking is King,
[05:59] ---
it's more than enough to carry you.
[06:03] ---
Is there something growing in my brain?
[06:05] ---
Why am I getting a headache
after just a few rounds?
[06:07] ---
What are you laughing at?
[06:08] ---
Hey, do you even have a conscience?
[06:11] ---
What if there's something
bad growing in my brain?
[06:13] ---
This problem is happening
to younger people nowadays.
[06:15] ---
Haven't you heard?
[06:19] ---
What?
[06:20] ---
You and Dong Yi were actually...
[06:21] ---
...a couple?
[06:22] ---
Who's the one with the low EQ?
[06:25] ---
Alas, it's been so many years,
[06:27] ---
yet the secret's still not out.
[06:29] ---
This is driving me crazy.
[06:30] ---
What?
[06:32] ---
Postgraduate?
[06:33] ---
Why are you so shocked?
[06:35] ---
I just want to further my studies,
[06:36] ---
which will give me a higher chance
of getting a better job in the future.
[06:40] ---
Beautiful Miss Xu,
[06:41] ---
for the next two years,
[06:43] ---
I won't be by your side,
[06:44] ---
so you'll have to
take good care of yourself.
[06:46] ---
Hey, hey, give me a break.
[06:48] ---
Who usually takes care of whom?
[06:49] ---
With you gone,
I can relax a lot more.
[06:51] ---
Oh wow, so you've always hated
having to put up with me.
[06:54] ---
But deep down in my heart I knew,
[06:56] ---
that she decided to stay behind
because of Dong Yi.
[07:00] ---
That tutor is awful!
[07:01] ---
All he cares about
is his business outside.
[07:03] ---
We hardly get to see him at all.
[07:05] ---
Stop complaining about it,
[07:06] ---
we have to rely on ourselves then.
[07:10] ---
The whole time,
[07:11] ---
she waited for the sentence
that never came.
[07:14] ---
Like an arrow, time flew by,
[07:15] ---
in the blink of an eye,
[07:17] ---
two years of postgraduate studies
passed in a flash.
[07:20] ---
Cheers!
[07:21] ---
We've graduated again!
[07:22] ---
Yeah, after bachelor's degree,
it's master's,
[07:24] ---
after master's, it's doctorate,
[07:25] ---
let's continue studying!
[07:26] ---
Oh no, I'm done with studying,
[07:28] ---
I have to look for a job.
[07:29] ---
Take care of yourselves!
[07:30] ---
--I'll drink to that!
--Xu Shanshan,
[07:31] ---
--All good things must come to an end.
--take a photo with Dong Yi!
[07:33] ---
Come here, why are you so shy?
[07:35] ---
Stop talking,
you're so old-fashioned.
[07:38] ---
Here, I only have
two photos from that night,
[07:41] ---
the other one is a selfie
I took for fun before dinner.
[07:46] ---
Cheng Xiaoshi, you're so annoying.
[07:48] ---
Why don't you tell us about
the specifics of the task first?
[07:50] ---
After that, I'll pick a suitable photo.
[07:53] ---
Let me tell you the rest of the story.
[07:55] ---
After the farewell dinner,
we went to a karaoke.
[07:58] ---
It ended pretty late,
[07:59] ---
and somehow,
[08:01] ---
I drank a little too much.
[08:02] ---
Oh?
[08:03] ---
And then...
[08:05] ---
Get lost,
[08:06] ---
it's not what you think it is!
[08:07] ---
I'm leaving.
[08:08] ---
--Bye-bye!
--See you guys next time.
[08:09] ---
Hope you all get rich in the future!
[08:10] ---
Hey, let's keep in touch.
[08:12] ---
Of course!
[08:14] ---
Goodbye, my fellow classmates!
[08:15] ---
--Hey, Dong Yi,
--Hey, Xu Shanshan.
[08:16] ---
--be careful.
--Let's keep in touch!
[08:17] ---
--Bye!
--Let's go, let's go.
[08:18] ---
--Sure!
--Keep in touch!
[08:18] ---
Don't go, no one is allowed to leave!
[08:21] ---
They're gone,
[08:22] ---
they're all already gone.
[08:23] ---
Then you should join me
for another round!
[08:25] ---
The signal is pretty weak here,
[08:26] ---
I can't get a ride,
[08:28] ---
I'll go over to that side and try.
[08:32] ---
All of them can leave,
[08:33] ---
except for you,
you're not allowed to go anywhere!
[08:40] ---
Xu Shanshan,
[08:41] ---
I have something to tell you.
[08:45] ---
Ugh!
[08:46] ---
At the time, I blacked out,
[08:48] ---
I didn't hear a single word he said.
[08:50] ---
After sobering up, I realised I had
done lots of embarrassing things,
[08:53] ---
and got myself in trouble,
[08:54] ---
I regret it so much!
[08:57] ---
If you care so much about what he said,
[08:58] ---
why didn't you just ask him
about it afterward?
[09:00] ---
It's because I care so much,
[09:02] ---
that's why I couldn't bring myself to ask.
[09:04] ---
I'm so afraid that the answer
is not going to be what I think it is.
[09:08] ---
Pfft, how dramatic.
[09:13] ---
Got it,
[09:14] ---
we can help you with this.
[09:16] ---
What?
[09:17] ---
You agree, just like that?
[09:18] ---
Hey wait a minute,
[09:19] ---
did you say help?
[09:21] ---
This is clearly a deal,
why should we do it for free?
[09:24] ---
She should at least give us
a little something in return.
[09:28] ---
Cheng Xiaoshi! You traitor!
[09:29] ---
I'm just trying to pay off your debt.
[09:31] ---
Hey, if you're willing to give
a discount, that's fine as well.
[09:34] ---
Not my face!
[09:37] ---
Hmph, it seems his brain
can't function properly
[09:40] ---
without a beating a day.
[09:41] ---
Hey Qiao,
[09:43] ---
how are they able to
get information of the past from photos?
[09:46] ---
Hmm, I don't know exactly.
[09:49] ---
They always do it alone every time,
[09:51] ---
it's very mysterious.
[09:53] ---
I can't really trust Cheng Xiaoshi.
[09:56] ---
I wonder if he'll do
anything questionable.
[09:59] ---
Is there no justice in this world?
[10:01] ---
How could you beat up the person
who's going to help you?
[10:03] ---
I... Hmm,
I... realized something.
[10:08] ---
Don't worry about it.
[10:09] ---
I think it's mainly Lu Guang's effort,
[10:10] ---
Cheng Xiaoshi is just a tool.
[10:12] ---
Lu Guang being reliable is good enough.
[10:15] ---
Cheng Xiaoshi,
what are you doing?
[10:20] ---
I just realized,
[10:22] ---
after entering the photo,
[10:23] ---
what I say, goes.
[10:26] ---
I can do whatever I want.
[10:30] ---
Xu Shanshan,
[10:32] ---
there are two internship positions
at my mom's hospital.
[10:35] ---
If we date,
[10:37] ---
she said that she could
arrange a position for you.
[10:40] ---
But, she doesn't really like
girls with long hair...
[10:43] ---
Huh?
[10:44] ---
What did you say?
[10:48] ---
Xu Shanshan,
you're going too far!
[10:50] ---
Even if you want to reject me,
you shouldn't ruin yourself like this!
[10:53] ---
Huh?
[10:55] ---
It was just a joke,
why is he having a breakdown?
[10:57] ---
That boy looked quite tough,
[10:59] ---
why is his heart so fragile?
[11:00] ---
Cheng Xiaoshi,
[11:01] ---
be careful with your current identity,
[11:02] ---
don't get Xu Shanshan in trouble.
[11:04] ---
Do you want me to reiterate
the three rules we agreed on?
[11:06] ---
No, don't start chanting
your cursed incantation.
[11:08] ---
Xu Shanshan.
[11:09] ---
Hmm?
[11:11] ---
It seems there's no one sitting here?
[11:15] ---
This feeling... is here again,
[11:18] ---
and her heart is beating
so much faster than before.
[11:20] ---
My chest feels so uncomfortable!
[11:22] ---
Pay attention
to where you put your hand.
[11:24] ---
No one,
[11:25] ---
you don't need to be so polite with me.
[11:26] ---
It's that temper of yours.
[11:27] ---
I'm afraid that if I don't ask you first,
you'd hit me till I run away.
[11:30] ---
Xu Shanshan,
take a photo with Dong Yi!
[11:32] ---
Come.
[11:34] ---
Come here.
[11:35] ---
Why are you so shy?
[11:41] ---
You lose! is here again,
[11:42] ---
Again! Again! Again!
[11:46] ---
Xu Shanshan,
[11:47] ---
it's been so many years, yet none of us
have heard you sing before,
[11:49] ---
why don't you sing a song today?
[11:50] ---
Pick any song,
[11:51] ---
I can sing anything!
[11:52] ---
Wow!
[11:54] ---
Hey, you're usually quite restrained,
[11:56] ---
but you're a little strange today.
[11:58] ---
This heartbeat is making me
so uncomfortable, I can't not drink.
[12:00] ---
Cheng Xiaoshi,
later you'll be drinking a bit too much.
[12:03] ---
After you come back, remember to go
downstairs and sleep on the couch.
[12:05] ---
Got it.
[12:06] ---
No wonder Xu Shanshan got drunk.
[12:07] ---
Hey, that's enough.
[12:10] ---
It doesn't seem like you have
anything to worry about,
[12:12] ---
I don't think you need to drink
to ease your sorrows, right?
[12:14] ---
You nerd, why are you always so rational?
[12:17] ---
Can't you follow your heart,
at least once?
[12:21] ---
Do you know why I chose
to further study back then?
[12:27] ---
No.
[12:29] ---
Because in our four years of university,
I've already gotten so used to it.
[12:33] ---
I've gotten used to having meals with you,
[12:35] ---
going to class with you,
[12:37] ---
playing games together,
[12:39] ---
taking walks aimlessly around the campus,
[12:42] ---
speaking thoughtless words
that we both understand.
[12:47] ---
So,
[12:49] ---
further studying had become
a means for me to escape,
[12:51] ---
but now,
[12:53] ---
I still have to choose
to leave eventually.
[12:54] ---
Leave?
[12:56] ---
It's because I care so much,
[12:57] ---
that's why I couldn't bring myself to ask.
[12:59] ---
I'm so afraid that the answer
is not going to be what I think it is.
[13:04] ---
Hey, Xu Shanshan,
the song we picked for you is here!
[13:07] ---
Here, take the mic.
[13:28] ---
That's amazing!
[13:50] ---
Hey, what's wrong with you guys?
[13:51] ---
Are you trying to trick me?
[13:53] ---
Hey, can you use your brain a little?
[13:55] ---
Why do you always start without
waiting for everyone to be ready?
[13:57] ---
I saw a good opportunity
to take down the enemy,
[13:59] ---
you guys are just slow!
[14:01] ---
Can you three look a little lively?
[14:03] ---
You look like three joss
sticks stuck in an urn,
[14:05] ---
where's the fun in that?
[14:07] ---
Hey, let me see if
[14:08] ---
you ruined my handsome face
[14:10] ---
with a blurry photo.
[14:11] ---
--Go away.
--Remember to come back often!
[14:13] ---
It wasn't easy to pass
the oral defense, stop cursing me.
[14:16] ---
Dong Yi,
[14:17] ---
from now on it's up to you
to take care of our beautiful Miss Xu.
[14:30] ---
Hey, don't you think
it's such a coincidence that
[14:33] ---
the both of us decided to further study?
[14:34] ---
Is it a coincidence?
[14:36] ---
I don't know,
[14:37] ---
there's so many of us who stayed
behind to further study after all.
[14:39] ---
You're no fun.
[14:42] ---
Tomorrow morning's class
is still at Yi Fu Building 201,
[14:45] ---
don't forget our usual.
[14:47] ---
I got it,
[14:48] ---
two fried eggs, slightly spicy,
[14:49] ---
one sausage, no coriander.
[14:55] ---
If it's possible,
[14:57] ---
I never want to say goodbye.
[15:01] ---
You sound so good.
[15:03] ---
You can really sing!
[15:06] ---
Xu Shanshan,
[15:07] ---
I can't believe that
after six years of friendship,
[15:09] ---
I never realized that
you could sing so well.
[15:10] ---
That was pretty good,
your breathing was quite stable.
[15:13] ---
Whenever he speaks,
her heart beats like crazy,
[15:16] ---
I think the only way is to...
[15:17] ---
Keep drinking!
[15:19] ---
My fellow brothers and sisters,
[15:20] ---
let's keep singing!
[15:27] ---
Bye-bye!
[15:28] ---
See you guys next time.
[15:29] ---
Hope you all get rich in the future!
[15:30] ---
Hey, let's keep in touch.
[15:32] ---
Of course!
[15:34] ---
Goodbye, my fellow classmates!
[15:35] ---
--Hey, Dong Yi,
--Hey, Xu Shanshan.
[15:36] ---
--be careful.
--Let's keep in touch!
[15:37] ---
--Bye!
--Sure!
[15:39] ---
Don't go, no one is allowed to leave!
[15:41] ---
They're gone,
[15:42] ---
they're all already gone.
[15:43] ---
Then you should join me
for another round!
[15:45] ---
The signal is pretty weak here,
[15:46] ---
I can't get a ride,
[15:48] ---
I'll go over to that side and try.
[15:52] ---
All of them can leave,
[15:54] ---
except for you,
you're not allowed to go anywhere!
[15:56] ---
So far so good.
[15:58] ---
Just a little more and we're finished.
[16:06] ---
Xu Shanshan,
[16:08] ---
I have something to tell you.
[16:16] ---
This person is so sneaky,
[16:18] ---
why does he look so familiar?
[16:21] ---
It's the serial killer from the photo!
[16:30] ---
Hey.
[16:32] ---
Cheng Xiaoshi!
[16:33] ---
Hey.
[16:43] ---
I can't let him get away.
[16:44] ---
Xu Shanshan, are you sober now?
[16:46] ---
Damn it, my head is still dizzy.
[16:48] ---
Hey, why are you going there?
[17:09] ---
Cheng Xiaoshi,
have you lost your mind?
[17:11] ---
I just saw the suspect
from the surveillance photo.
[17:14] ---
Don't be foolish,
[17:15] ---
you can't catch him on your own.
[17:18] ---
Furthermore,
[17:19] ---
this guy is more trouble
than human traffickers.
[17:22] ---
But I can take a photo of his face,
at least it could serve as another clue
[17:25] ---
to help the police
resolve the case earlier.
[17:32] ---
Oh no, where's my phone?
[17:36] ---
Watch out, behind you!
[17:37] ---
Wait!
[17:38] ---
If you turn around suddenly,
[17:40] ---
you might trigger the suspect.
[17:42] ---
It might cause him to attack even quicker.
[17:44] ---
Then what am I supposed to do now?
[17:46] ---
Try to create a situation where
he wouldn't be able to attack,
[17:50] ---
then wait for an opportunity.
[17:51] ---
Can't attack, then...
[17:53] ---
Oh no,
[17:53] ---
I drank too much, I need to pee,
[17:56] ---
like a waterfall...
[17:59] ---
...streaming down...
[18:02] ---
Damn it, I forgot I'm a girl now...
[18:05] ---
Hurry and find another way!
[18:18] ---
Does he still intend to attack me
when I'm like this?
[18:20] ---
He truly is a pervert!
[18:25] ---
I'm just going to go for it!
[18:28] ---
Oh no, it's for real now!
[18:42] ---
The danger has been eliminated.
[18:44] ---
Where did he go?
[18:48] ---
No!
[18:49] ---
Take this!
[18:52] ---
It's me!
[18:54] ---
When did you learn self defense?
[18:56] ---
Dong Yi?
[18:57] ---
Where's the guy with the baseball cap?
[19:04] ---
Isn't this the mama's boy...
[19:15] ---
It's just a case of unrequited love
from a male classmate
[19:17] ---
who had the wrong intentions,
[19:18] ---
how did it get so exaggerated
and turned into a resolved urban mystery?
[19:21] ---
Does this bunch of unscrupulous media
have any bottom line?
[19:24] ---
Not only did they come up with
some baseless and exaggerated headline,
[19:28] ---
they even published her photo!
[19:30] ---
How's the task going?
[19:33] ---
I got distracted with catching a suspect.
[19:34] ---
I've written everything down.
[19:36] ---
Sure enough, Lu Guang is always reliable.
[19:38] ---
Oh right, I almost forgot
you had this ability.
[19:41] ---
So, what exactly did
Dong Yi say back then?
[19:43] ---
I've already passed
his message to Shanshan.
[19:46] ---
Xu Shanshan,
[19:48] ---
I have something to tell you.
[19:51] ---
When we were getting ready to graduate,
[19:53] ---
my parents had urged me to go back.
[19:55] ---
My dad has arranged everything for me,
[19:58] ---
so I've known all along
that after I graduate,
[20:00] ---
it's impossible for me
to stay in this city.
[20:02] ---
Dong Yi!
[20:05] ---
I never dared to confess my feelings...
[20:06] ---
What are you worrying about?
[20:07] ---
...because
[20:09] ---
I was afraid of hurting you, who had
stayed by my side for six years.
[20:13] ---
Oh, I'm just worrying
about the oral defense.
[20:15] ---
Hey, what's the big deal?
[20:17] ---
I'm meeting with Qiao Ling tonight
to watch a movie and relax,
[20:20] ---
do you want to come along?
[20:21] ---
That's all right,
I have some things to finish up.
[20:23] ---
Fine, then,
[20:24] ---
but you'll have to help me take this.
[20:26] ---
I'll come and get it from you at your
dormitory after I get back tonight.
[20:30] ---
What time?
[20:31] ---
If the entrance of
the dormitory is locked,
[20:33] ---
I'll have to throw it down to you
from the window.
[20:35] ---
The two of you are basically like
an old married couple,
[20:37] ---
why not clarify your relationship?
[20:39] ---
Now that I have to graduate,
[20:41] ---
I've finally realized,
[20:44] ---
no matter how hard the future may be,
[20:45] ---
I want to stay.
[20:47] ---
Because leaving you
[20:51] ---
hurts more than anything else.
[20:53] ---
Tomorrow morning at ten,
[20:54] ---
he has an important interview
at the Union Building,
[20:56] ---
and he hopes that you can accompany him.
[20:58] ---
It's obvious he's asking Shanshan
to make her feelings clear!
[21:01] ---
Let me ask her
if she went this morning.
[21:11] ---
Hehe,
[21:12] ---
so did you accompany him
to his interview this morning?
[21:15] ---
Wow, what a quick reply,
[21:17] ---
it seems everything went smoothly.
[21:21] ---
Hey, Dong Yi.
[21:25] ---
You're here to interview
for this company as well?
[21:26] ---
It's almost ten o'clock,
[21:28] ---
what are you doing standing around?
[21:29] ---
Oh, I'll go up in a moment.
[21:32] ---
Then I'll head up first.
[21:42] ---
Did the things I said that day
make her angry?
[21:52] ---
Hmm?
[21:53] ---
Shanshan, what is this?
[22:01] ---
Qiao Ling,
[22:01] ---
call Xu Shanshan and ask.
[22:03] ---
Ah, okay.
[22:17] ---
Xu Shanshan,
[22:18] ---
were you the one who sent
that message in the group?
[22:26] ---
I will...
[22:28] ---
...show up as promised.
