[00:40] ---
    Xu Shanshan,
[00:41] ---
    did you send that message in the group?
[00:50] ---
    I will...
[00:52] ---
    ...show up as promised.
[00:59] ---
    Who was that?
[01:02] ---
    I'm going to give her another call!
[01:08] ---
    The number you have dialed
    cannot be reached.
[01:11] ---
    Cannot be reached...
[01:13] ---
    Could it be...
[01:25] ---
    She-- She's not picking up
    her house phone as well,
[01:27] ---
    should we call the police?
[01:30] ---
    All right, I'll come over right now.
[01:32] ---
    Don't do anything reckless,
[01:33] ---
    this situation cannot be explained
    clearly to ordinary police.
[01:36] ---
    I'm going to see Captain Xiao right now.
[01:39] ---
    I have a feeling
[01:40] ---
    that news article published online
    might be the cause of the trouble.
[01:47] ---
    Then isn't this because I...
[01:50] ---
    Now is not the time to
    let your thoughts run wild.
[01:52] ---
    Confirming Xu Shanshan's situation
    as soon as possible
[01:54] ---
    is our top priority!
[01:56] ---
    Cheng Xiaoshi,
[01:57] ---
    lock up the studio with Qiao Ling,
[01:59] ---
    don't go anywhere.
[02:00] ---
    Okay.
[02:01] ---
    I'll be right back.
[02:08] ---
    Do you want us to come with you?
[02:12] ---
    Looking at Cheng Xiaoshi's current state,
[02:13] ---
    it's best to let him calm down first
[02:15] ---
    instead of running to
    the police station in a panic
[02:17] ---
    and saying things he shouldn't.
[02:20] ---
    Also,
[02:21] ---
    you should hold onto his phone
    for safekeeping.
[03:47] ---
    As of now, we can speculate
    that the suspect
[03:48] ---
    has quite a strong anti-social
    personality disorder and aggressiveness.
[03:52] ---
    He also kills at random,
[03:53] ---
    with no specific intentions.
[03:55] ---
    His crimes were
    planned out very carefully.
[03:57] ---
    Many of the cases have been
    misjudged as suicide,
[03:59] ---
    with only one exception.
[04:01] ---
    A witness saw the victim,
    Wu Lihua, getting into a car
[04:03] ---
    with the man in the photo
    before the incident.
[04:06] ---
    After much discussion,
[04:07] ---
    this morning, our superior
    department finally decided to
[04:10] ---
    publish the only surveillance
    image of the suspect
[04:13] ---
    to gather clues.
[04:14] ---
    In just a few hours,
[04:15] ---
    they had received many reports,
[04:18] ---
    and...
[04:19] ---
    ...most of them
    point to the same person.
[04:21] ---
    Liu Min, male, 27 years old.
[04:24] ---
    He had finished his education overseas,
[04:25] ---
    and is currently working as
    the executive director of a company.
[04:27] ---
    Pfft, what executive director?
[04:29] ---
    He just succeeded his father's position.
[04:30] ---
    That's probably why people hate him.
[04:33] ---
    Without any evidence,
[04:35] ---
    these are all just hypotheses,
    we need to keep...
[04:38] ---
    Captain Xiao,
    there's someone here to see you.
[04:40] ---
    Chen Bin, where are you doing?
[04:41] ---
    You slip away during the meeting,
[04:42] ---
    and you pop up now to interrupt me,
[04:43] ---
    what do you want?
[04:44] ---
    Uh...
[04:46] ---
    I got a phone call before the meeting,
[04:48] ---
    so I went to pick someone up.
[04:49] ---
    Hehe...
[04:58] ---
    Cheng Xiaoshi, calm down.
[05:00] ---
    Lu Guang has gone to make a police report.
[05:02] ---
    Captain Xiao seems pretty reliable,
[05:04] ---
    I'm sure he'll find Shanshan.
[05:06] ---
    Oh right,
[05:08] ---
    there should be some related news online,
[05:10] ---
    there might be some clues...
[05:13] ---
    Qiao Ling, you...
[05:14] ---
    Lu Guang instructed me,
[05:15] ---
    in order to prevent you from getting
    more anxious by reading the rumors,
[05:18] ---
    I will be holding onto your phone
    for safekeeping.
[05:26] ---
    I'll go upstairs and lie down for a while,
[05:28] ---
    call me when Lu Guang is back.
[05:34] ---
    Didn't you say you couldn't help us?
[05:37] ---
    Why are you here now?
[05:38] ---
    Can you show me the photo
    of the surveillance footage again?
[05:41] ---
    This has to do with
    the safety of a friend of mine.
[05:44] ---
    What?
[05:45] ---
    Your friend...?
[05:46] ---
    This morning, a man gave us
    a strange call using her phone,
[05:50] ---
    before turning the phone off.
[05:52] ---
    Do you suspect that
[05:54] ---
    this has something to do
    with the serial killer?
[05:55] ---
    It's hard to say,
[05:56] ---
    but the earlier we capture the murderer,
[05:58] ---
    the earlier we can get our answer.
[06:03] ---
    Here.
[06:31] ---
    The suspect's license plate number is
[06:34] ---
    BS30X7948.
[06:41] ---
    Captain Xiao?
[06:59] ---
    Cheng Xiaoshi?
[07:00] ---
    Hmm?
[07:01] ---
    Master, are you done?
[07:03] ---
    Who else has seen this photo?
[07:06] ---
    This photo was posted online this morning,
[07:08] ---
    everyone can see it.
[07:12] ---
    --Damn it!
    --Hey,
[07:13] ---
    where are you rushing off to?
[07:14] ---
    What about your missing friend?
[07:16] ---
    Eh?
[07:18] ---
    Captain Xiao, what's gotten into him?
[07:20] ---
    I don't know,
    these kids are so mysterious.
[07:24] ---
    If it wasn't for brother Liang's
    case the other day,
[07:26] ---
    I would never have
    believed in these things.
[07:27] ---
    Well, you know what,
[07:29] ---
    believe it.
[07:31] ---
    Guess who is the owner of the car
[07:32] ---
    with the license plate number
    he rattled off just now?
[07:33] ---
    Don't keep me guessing, just tell me!
[07:36] ---
    It's Liu Min!
[07:39] ---
    Huh?
[07:40] ---
    I confiscated his phone,
[07:42] ---
    and then he said he was
    going upstairs to take a nap.
[07:44] ---
    Lu Guang, what is going on?
[07:48] ---
    Ah! Cheng Xiaoshi!
[07:50] ---
    He-- He's gone!
[07:54] ---
    Our abilities complement each other.
[07:56] ---
    You can exist in the time
    and space of the photos.
[07:58] ---
    But, only under
    the premise of a high-five.
[08:01] ---
    Eh, is there no other way?
[08:04] ---
    Unfortunately, that's the only way.
[08:08] ---
    Then what if I high-five myself
    and enter the photo...
[08:12] ---
    You'll lose contact with me.
[08:14] ---
    If that happens,
[08:15] ---
    you won't know anything about
    what will happen in the photos.
[08:26] ---
    Huh?
[08:28] ---
    How--
[08:29] ---
    How did I enter the photo by myself?
[08:32] ---
    As usual, you only have 12 hours.
[08:35] ---
    During this period,
[08:36] ---
    you must keep a low profile,
[08:38] ---
    as though you were never here.
[08:42] ---
    I'm only going to observe
    the murderer's whereabouts
[08:44] ---
    and look for clues.
[08:46] ---
    I won't attract anyone's attention,
[08:47] ---
    nor make any unconventional moves.
[08:51] ---
    Then, I'll be able to retreat unscathed.
[09:00] ---
    Lu... Lu Guang?
[09:03] ---
    I really can't get in touch with him.
[09:07] ---
    Damn it, where did he go?
[09:12] ---
    Seems like this is
    the surveillance camera's blind spot.
[09:16] ---
    I'll just wait here for him to come back,
[09:17] ---
    and then...
[09:20] ---
    Oh?
[09:21] ---
    My phone...
[09:24] ---
    Lu Guang instructed me,
[09:26] ---
    in order to prevent you from getting
    more anxious by reading the rumors,
[09:28] ---
    I will be holding onto your phone
    for safekeeping.
[09:30] ---
    Ah, gosh,
[09:32] ---
    at this critical moment...
[09:49] ---
    Who's there?
[09:53] ---
    It's the police.
[09:54] ---
    I have a few questions
    to ask Liu Min.
[09:57] ---
    Mr. Liu! It's the police,
[09:58] ---
    they're here to see Min Min!
[10:00] ---
    Why are the police here?
[10:02] ---
    They haven't stopped
    showing up since this morning!
[10:06] ---
    The screenshot of the surveillance
    footage that you posted online
[10:08] ---
    is ruining my son's life!
[10:12] ---
    Mr. Liu,
[10:14] ---
    we have received a lot of
    information about your son,
[10:16] ---
    that's why we're visiting you,
[10:18] ---
    to find out the truth.
[10:19] ---
    What?
[10:21] ---
    You really believe the comments
    of those haters online?
[10:24] ---
    They just hate rich people!
[10:25] ---
    This is cyberbullying!
[10:27] ---
    How could my son be involved
    in these serial murders?
[10:30] ---
    Such nonsense.
[10:32] ---
    Those people hate our company,
[10:34] ---
    this is such a typical revenge psychology!
[10:38] ---
    I'm so sorry for troubling you.
[10:41] ---
    Hey, it's just on the way.
[10:44] ---
    I don't know what's going on today,
[10:45] ---
    I couldn't hail a ride.
[10:47] ---
    Let's go.
[10:48] ---
    Let's not keep your parents waiting.
[11:10] ---
    Mr. Liu,
[11:11] ---
    you can't say that.
[11:12] ---
    The reason everyone has
    opinions about this is because...
[11:14] ---
    Uhh... Mr. Liu,
[11:15] ---
    how about you call Liu Min out,
[11:17] ---
    and we can have a chat?
[11:19] ---
    What is there to chat about?
[11:20] ---
    He has gone through enough these few days!
[11:23] ---
    Stop making his life harder!
[11:25] ---
    Go, go, go, go, go!
[11:26] ---
    Ms. Zhou, come out and send them off!
[11:28] ---
    Hey! Go, go, go, go, go!
[11:29] ---
    Get lost!
[11:30] ---
    You can ask us to leave,
    but don't push us.
[11:31] ---
    Dad, who's here?
[11:33] ---
    Why aren't you leaving?
[11:34] ---
    --Leave!
    --You...
[11:37] ---
    Min Min, why are you out here?
[11:44] ---
    My son was in a car accident a while ago,
    he's already paralyzed!
[11:46] ---
    How could he possibly
    still go around hurting people?
[11:59] ---
    If I follow this trail,
[12:00] ---
    I'm bound to find some clues.
[12:02] ---
    Oh my,
[12:03] ---
    I'm so sorry, Mr. Liu,
[12:05] ---
    I fell asleep.
[12:07] ---
    That's okay,
[12:08] ---
    I heard about old Mr. Zhu,
[12:10] ---
    you must be upset.
[12:11] ---
    If you're tired, rest a little.
[12:13] ---
    Oh, about that...
[12:15] ---
    I...
[12:17] ---
    Don't worry about it,
[12:19] ---
    I was simply mentioning it.
[12:21] ---
    So what are your plans after this?
[12:23] ---
    I want to go home,
[12:25] ---
    spend time with my parents,
[12:26] ---
    and find another job.
[12:29] ---
    I used to have a longing for big cities.
[12:32] ---
    I would work hard,
    struggle if I have to.
[12:35] ---
    But now that I think about it,
[12:37] ---
    finding a life that suits me
    is the most important thing.
[12:42] ---
    Huh?
[12:43] ---
    Are we going the wrong way?
[12:48] ---
    The navigation system shows
    congestion on the main road,
[12:50] ---
    and rerouted us.
[12:52] ---
    So how long will it take to get there?
[12:56] ---
    I think we won't be getting there today.
[13:00] ---
    What do you mean?
[13:10] ---
    Mr. Liu,
[13:12] ---
    what are you doing?
[13:13] ---
    Open the door!
[13:14] ---
    I want to get off!
[13:15] ---
    Get off?
[13:17] ---
    Are you trying to run away with the money?
[13:21] ---
    I remember that your real name was,
[13:23] ---
    was something like Wu Lihua, right?
[13:25] ---
    Ah,
[13:26] ---
    to make you seem like the other
    intellectual white-collars,
[13:28] ---
    you even gave yourself an English name,
[13:30] ---
    Emma.
[13:31] ---
    How disgusting.
[13:33] ---
    Emma?
[13:35] ---
    Why is she here?
[13:37] ---
    You people are from out of town,
[13:39] ---
    no matter how glamorously
    you package yourselves,
[13:42] ---
    it doesn't change a thing!
[13:45] ---
    I didn't want to have anything
    to do with the likes of you,
[13:49] ---
    but...
[13:50] ---
    Tell me!
[13:52] ---
    Where is my money?
[13:54] ---
    Please,
[13:55] ---
    please let me go.
[13:57] ---
    I... I don't know what money
    you're talking about.
[14:00] ---
    Fine.
[14:01] ---
    Then let me refresh your memory!
[14:04] ---
    How could this be?
[14:06] ---
    Why is it her?
[14:08] ---
    Lu Guang,
[14:09] ---
    unless Lu Guang...
[14:11] ---
    What are these photos?
[14:13] ---
    I've understood the situation.
[14:15] ---
    I'm sorry.
[14:16] ---
    This time, there is nothing we can do.
[14:18] ---
    He had already known that
    Emma was one of the victims,
[14:21] ---
    so he didn't want me to
    get involved in this case.
[14:25] ---
    It's the middle of the night. Who is it?
[14:27] ---
    Ignore it.
[14:29] ---
    --Tell me! Tell me now!
    --So it's because of me...
[14:31] ---
    Because I...
[14:35] ---
    Tell me!
[14:43] ---
    My dear daughter,
[14:44] ---
    are you home yet?
[14:46] ---
    I heard from your dad
[14:47] ---
    that you got criticized by your supervisor
[14:48] ---
    because of the call just now.
[14:51] ---
    I'm sorry.
[14:53] ---
    Tell me you didn't do anything stupid.
[14:56] ---
    It's because...
[14:59] ---
    ...I did something stupid...
[15:05] ---
    Why can't your kind of people
[15:06] ---
    just leave me alone?
[15:09] ---
    You live such pathetic lives,
[15:11] ---
    yet online, you slander me,
[15:12] ---
    criticize me!
[15:14] ---
    And after all that,
    you still covet my money!
[15:16] ---
    Die,
[15:17] ---
    die!
[15:18] ---
    All of you must die!
[15:31] ---
    No one's picking up.
[15:33] ---
    We've been waiting for almost two hours,
[15:34] ---
    where is she?
[15:39] ---
    I hope nothing's happened to her.
[15:41] ---
    Pooh, pooh, pooh,
    pooh three times,
[15:43] ---
    get rid of such unlucky words!
[15:45] ---
    Pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh...
[16:03] ---
    Why is my kindness repaid
    with such consequences?
[16:06] ---
    You have to follow my commands completely,
[16:08] ---
    without making any changes.
[16:13] ---
    You fool,
[16:14] ---
    I told you.
[16:16] ---
    Let the past be,
[16:18] ---
    for we cannot change the past.
[16:25] ---
    Let the future be,
[16:27] ---
    for the future will definitely change...
[16:33] ---
    ...because of us.
[16:35] ---
    Lu Guang,
[16:37] ---
    can you tell me,
[16:39] ---
    what am I supposed to do now?
[17:05] ---
    The door was locked the whole time,
[17:07] ---
    how did he just disappear?
[17:34] ---
    Cheng Xiaoshi,
[17:36] ---
    please don't do anything stupid!
[17:42] ---
    Lu Guang,
[17:43] ---
    Cheng Xiaoshi...
[17:45] ---
    Where did he go?
[17:48] ---
    He went...
[17:55] ---
    He--
[17:56] ---
    He...
[17:58] ---
    He just appeared out of nowhere!
[18:02] ---
    Qiao Ling?
[18:03] ---
    Lu Guang,
[18:04] ---
    why did you let Qiao Ling...
[18:07] ---
    I've got questions for you, too!
[18:09] ---
    Why did you do it alone?
[18:10] ---
    Do you know how serious
    the consequences would be?
[18:12] ---
    The things you've done,
    the things you'll change,
[18:14] ---
    are all out of your control!
[18:21] ---
    I know,
[18:23] ---
    I know about it all,
[18:25] ---
    so I didn't do anything...
[18:27] ---
    What?
[18:29] ---
    Then you went into the photo...
[18:31] ---
    It's Emma.
[18:33] ---
    The one who was killed after
    entering the car with the murderer
[18:37] ---
    was Emma...
[18:39] ---
    What?
[18:40] ---
    The CFO's assistant who gave us
    the task with Quede Games?
[18:46] ---
    Yes.
[18:48] ---
    There's also something else
    I want to tell you.
[18:57] ---
    You've always blamed yourself
    because you thought
[19:01] ---
    you didn't notice Doudou
    being abducted back then.
[19:03] ---
    Actually, I was responsible
[19:05] ---
    in that case.
[19:07] ---
    Let's go and take a look,
[19:09] ---
    see how long the queue is.
[19:13] ---
    Cheng Xiaoshi?
[19:14] ---
    It was because my sudden presence
[19:16] ---
    diverted your attention away.
[19:21] ---
    So you mean to say,
[19:23] ---
    you can enter photos?
[19:25] ---
    Yes.
[19:26] ---
    My job is to enter the photos
    as the executor,
[19:30] ---
    while Lu Guang, as the observer,
[19:32] ---
    gives me instructions on what to do.
[19:34] ---
    So that's why you both always hid from me.
[19:37] ---
    I always thought you were doing
    some ritual with the photos!
[19:40] ---
    Hello, Officer Chen,
[19:42] ---
    did you catch the criminal?
[19:43] ---
    Did he say anything about Xu Shanshan?
[19:45] ---
    Uh, the license plate is definitely his,
[19:47] ---
    but it seems that
[19:49] ---
    he definitely isn't the perpetrator.
[19:51] ---
    Why?

    At the time, didn't a victim
    named Emma enter his car?
[19:55] ---
    She works at Quede Games.
[19:58] ---
    It's clear the two of them are connected,
[20:00] ---
    there must be some clues you can find.
[20:01] ---
    You're pretty amazing,
[20:03] ---
    you could even find out
    about these details.
[20:05] ---
    Yes, but unfortunately...
[20:08] ---
    How is it?
[20:08] ---
    Did they catch that bastard?
[20:10] ---
    No.
[20:12] ---
    Lack of evidence.
[20:13] ---
    How is that possible? I clearly...
[20:15] ---
    According to the information
    from our latest investigation,
[20:17] ---
    Liu Min was not present at the scene
    when Emma was killed.
[20:20] ---
    What?
[20:21] ---
    That's the truth.
[20:23] ---
    Liu Min was in the hospital
    at one o'clock that night.
[20:29] ---
    Besides, surveillance footage
    captured Emma...
[20:37] ---
    ...walking alone on an abandoned bridge.
