01x10 - Trap

[bunniefuu]

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 now it seems that

he can't be 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.

But unfortunately

How is it?

Did they catch that b*stard?

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 k*lled.

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.

Well, send me Xu Shanshan's information.

You can only report

a missing person after 48 hours.

But in the meantime,

Captain Xiao and I will see

if there's anything we can do.

All right.

Thank you, Officer Chen.

Did they mention Shanshan's whereabouts?

We can't file a report yet,

so the police can't search for her.

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 don't know what money

you're talking about.

Then let me refresh your memory!

So is there any other way?

Hello? Dong Yi?

Qiao Ling, do you know

where Xu Shanshan is?

I called her just now

but her phone was turned off.

I don't know,

maybe her phone's battery is dead.

Well, she's always so careless.

Oh, okay.

Then I'll call her again later.

Sorry.

The number you have dialed

cannot be reached at the moment.

Sorry.

The number you have dialed

cannot be reached at the moment.

I still can't get through.

Lu Guang, what should we do?

We can't just sit around doing nothing.

Where did you go after you left yesterday?

What time did you go home?

After we left, we went to get milk tea,

then we went our separate ways.

The specific time

I can't really remember.

When you were drinking milk tea yesterday,

or any other time,

did you take any photos or selfies?

I don't think so.

What about other times?

Did Xu Shanshan send you

any selfies or other photos?

Must it be yesterday?

Let me check.

Preferably within the past 12 hours.

We didn't talk much last night.

These are all photos from few days ago.

Keep searching,

maybe you missed one out somewhere.

I'm trying, but there really isn't any.

Did Xu Shanshan

take this photo yesterday?

Oh, yes she did.

Before Shanshan came in here yesterday,

she was holding up her phone

at the entrance.

It did seem like she was taking a photo.

I didn't realize that she had posted it

on WeChat Moments.

Lu Guang, quick, take a look.

See if you can find

any clues about Shanshan.

How is it? Did you find a clue?

Last night around half past one,

a masked man broke into

Xu Shanshan's house

and attacked her.

We need to dive into the photo now!

I want to see

Hold on.

Are you ready to face

the worst-case scenario?

Even if we could relive

the experience in the photo,

we cannot change the past.

The moment Xu Shanshan was attacked,

the connection was broken.

It's very likely that something bad

has happened to her.

If that really is the case,

Cheng Xiaoshi has to

personally experience it again,

and he must also accept

her fate.

Let's give him some time.

All of them can leave,

except for you,

you're not allowed to go anywhere!

Xu Shanshan,

I have something to tell you.

Sorry.

The number you have dialed

cannot be reached at the moment.

Hey, Dong Yi,

why are you still here?

The interviewer called for you

several times just now.

Ah? Oh, oh.

I'm not ready yet,

so I won't be going up first.

Forget it, the interview is over anyway.

Sorry.

The number you have dialed

cannot be reached at the moment.

Captain Xiao,

we've just confirmed,

there's nothing wrong with

Liu Min's medical report.

He is indeed paralyzed.

Hey, Lu Guang,

I just checked Xu Shanshan's house.

Nobody's home.

I'll check the other places

you've provided clues of.

Okay.

Thank you, Officer Chen.

Sorry to trouble you.

So, have you decided?

Yes.

Ready to dive.

Beautiful Miss Xu,

what are you doing there?

Let's go in.

Hey! Don't do that,

you're making me embarrassed.

Ahem.

Be careful, don't let Qiao Ling know.

Come on, give it a try.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Come and receive guests!

Welcome, my landlady

Welcome in, Boss!

Hey,

Xu Shanshan, why are you here

instead of studying?

Am I supposed to yell at myself

You accepted the arrangement,

go on.

Heh,

I'm here because I care about

the reemployment of the jobless.

Oh my, so you're here to observe

the regular people's life.

It's no wonder,

after all, it's easy to grow out of touch

with society after studying so much,

I understand.

I have no choice,

unlike certain people,

who has rely on others to survive

even after graduation.

Can you focus?

Who argues so absent-mindedly?

Hey! Mind your words,

who's relying on whom to survive?

Am I wrong?

The house is provided by Qiao,

the business is managed by Lu Guang,

aren't you just a good-for-nothing?

We are partners!

Don't poison the well if you don't

understand the situation clearly!

Mr. Liu, I have finished

tidying up the room.

I will take my leave now.

Tell me,

why can't they just leave me alone?

You disgusting insects,

I'll make you pay!

Since she wants to be famous so badly,

I'll make her famous all the way.

What do you think, my dear friend?

Hmph, it seems his brain

can't function properly

without a beating a day.

Hey Qiao,

how are they able to

get information of the past from photos?

I don't know exactly.

They always do it alone every time,

it's very mysterious.

I can't really trust Cheng Xiaoshi.

I wonder if he'll do

anything questionable.

Unfortunately, he did.

Um, well, don't worry about it.

I think it's mainly Lu Guang's effort,

Cheng Xiaoshi is just a tool.

Lu Guang being reliable is good enough.

What?

A tool?

Why do you think that, Qiao Ling?

Ahem.

Uh, that's what I thought

Even though I say that,

Cheng Xiaoshi does actually

have some tenacity in his spirit.

I couldn't tell.

He's always been like this.

He doesn't seem to care about anything,

with a devil-may-care attitude,

but actually

What do you think is going on?

They just left like that?

Oh my. How could they just

leave the kid alone like that,

how irresponsible.

Exactly.

What about the kid's future?

Uh, how about we take turns

taking care of him, what do you think?

Are you kidding? Who's going to

be responsible if anything happens?

Then, should we send him

to the orphanage?

Pooh, pooh, pooh,

it's not like his parents are dead.

--I think we should call the police first.

--I don't want to!

They just went for a trip,

they will come back!

So I'm not going anywhere!

I don't want your sympathy!

Go away!

--All of you, go away!

--Look at this kid.

He's taking our kindness for granted.

Exactly.

Who wants to take care of this mess?

Do you also think

that my parents won't come back?

Ah, no.

They'll come back.

I'll wait with you.

Thank you, Qiao Ling.

Don't thank me,

thank my dad first.

He said he'll lend you

ten years' worth of rent.

When you open the shop again

after you've grown up,

you can return the money then.

Wow!

Then I'll have to call you

my landlady in the future!

Even though we tried our best to help him,

he still had a hard time after that.

He tried his best to make himself

seem like a normal kid,

to fit in with the others,

but in the end

he was still shunned by the others.

The news The news said

there was a huge earthquake last night,

so many people died!

Were my parents there?

Did they encounter the earthquake,

unable to return forever?

Don't be silly.

They probably went somewhere even further.

They'll come back safely.

Qiao Ling!

I miss them!

I miss them

It was then that I realized

how hurt he must have felt

when he said,

"I don't want your sympathy."

I had always worried

if Cheng Xiaoshi could make new friends

who genuinely cared about him,

until

What a coincidence.

Hey, Lu Guang!

Hey, who's this guy?

Cheng Xiaoshi, is he your friend?

I was just passing by.

If you're free,

come give us a hand.

Lu Guang

miraculously appeared

in our lives just like that.

Back then, I asked him

how he became friends with Cheng Xiaoshi.

Can you guess what he said?

Was he attracted to

Cheng Xiaoshi's beauty?

Don't talk nonsense!

I'll go get a few cans of Coke.

Get me a sugar-free one.

You're so troublesome.

Lu Guang,

what do you like about Cheng Xiaoshi?

For so many years,

you're the first friend he's had

aside from me.

What do you mean, what I like about him?

He was the one who asked me

to play basketball together.

You two went from

sports buddies to friends,

which means there's something

about him that attracts you.

Own up to it.

Maybe because he's naive.

What does he mean by naive?

Lu Guang was serious when he said that.

Besides, I agree with him.

It's Cheng Xiaoshi's

innocence and openness

that makes people want to protect him.

Thank you, Qiao Ling.

Huh?

Why are you thanking me?

Are you okay?

You seem weird today!

Let's go get some milk tea.

Happy, happy!

It's almost time for dinner,

why are we getting milk tea?

That'll be our dinner.

Think of it as dieting.

Young man,

you've been walking around

downstairs for the whole day.

Have you come to apologize to

your girlfriend after making a mistake?

I've seen so many people like you.

I don't know what kind of

relationship we have right now.

So, I want to wait for an answer.

There's 20 minutes left

to the time of the incident.

How are you? Are you ready?

Mhmm, no problem.

After the m*rder*r 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?

Here we are.

You're pretty punctual.

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!
