**[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?
**[19:52] ---**
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] ---**
