[bunniefuu]

Xu Shanshan,

did you send that message in the group?

I will

show up as promised.

Who was that?

I'm going to give her another call!

The number you have dialed

cannot be reached.

Cannot be reached

Could it be

She-- She's not picking up

her house phone as well,

should we call the police?

All right, I'll come over right now.

Don't do anything reckless,

this situation cannot be explained

clearly to ordinary police.

I'm going to see Captain Xiao right now.

I have a feeling

that news article published online

might be the cause of the trouble.

Then isn't this because I

Now is not the time to

let your thoughts run wild.

Confirming Xu Shanshan's situation

as soon as possible

is our top priority!

Cheng Xiaoshi,

lock up the studio with Qiao Ling,

don't go anywhere.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Do you want us to come with you?

Looking at Cheng Xiaoshi's current state,

it's best to let him calm down first

instead of running to

the police station in a panic

and saying things he shouldn't.

Also,

you should hold onto his phone

for safekeeping.

As of now, we can speculate

that the suspect

has quite a strong anti-social

personality disorder and aggressiveness.

He also kills at random,

with no specific intentions.

His crimes were

planned out very carefully.

Many of the cases have been

misjudged as suicide,

with only one exception.

A witness saw the victim,

Wu Lihua, getting into a car

with the man in the photo

before the incident.

After much discussion,

this morning, our superior

department finally decided to

publish the only surveillance

image of the suspect

to gather clues.

In just a few hours,

they had received many reports,

and

most of them

point to the same person.

Liu Min, male, 27 years old.

He had finished his education overseas,

and is currently working as

the executive director of a company.

Pfft, what executive director?

He just succeeded his father's position.

That's probably why people hate him.

Without any evidence,

these are all just hypotheses,

we need to keep

Captain Xiao,

there's someone here to see you.

Chen Bin, where are you doing?

You slip away during the meeting,

and you pop up now to interrupt me,

what do you want?

Uh

I got a phone call before the meeting,

so I went to pick someone up.

Hehe

Cheng Xiaoshi, calm down.

Lu Guang has gone to make a police report.

Captain Xiao seems pretty reliable,

I'm sure he'll find Shanshan.

Oh right,

there should be some related news online,

there might be some clues

Qiao Ling, you

Lu Guang instructed me,

in order to prevent you from getting

more anxious by reading the rumors,

I will be holding onto your phone

for safekeeping.

I'll go upstairs and lie down for a while,

call me when Lu Guang is back.

Didn't you say you couldn't help us?

Why are you here now?

Can you show me the photo

of the surveillance footage again?

This has to do with

the safety of a friend of mine.

What?

Your friend?

This morning, a man gave us

a strange call using her phone,

before turning the phone off.

Do you suspect that

this has something to do

with the serial k*ller?

It's hard to say,

but the earlier we capture the m*rder*r,

the earlier we can get our answer.

Here.

The suspect's license plate number is

BS30X7948.

Captain Xiao?

Cheng Xiaoshi?

Hmm?

Master, are you done?

Who else has seen this photo?

This photo was posted online this morning,

everyone can see it.

--Damn it!

--Hey,

where are you rushing off to?

What about your missing friend?

Eh?

Captain Xiao, what's gotten into him?

I don't know,

these kids are so mysterious.

If it wasn't for brother Liang's

case the other day,

I would never have

believed in these things.

Well, you know what,

believe it.

Guess who is the owner of the car

with the license plate number

he rattled off just now?

Don't keep me guessing, just tell me!

It's Liu Min!

Huh?

I confiscated his phone,

and then he said he was

going upstairs to take a nap.

Lu Guang, what is going on?

Ah! Cheng Xiaoshi!

He-- He's gone!

Our abilities complement each other.

You can exist in the time

and space of the photos.

But, only under

the premise of a high-five.

Eh, is there no other way?

Unfortunately, that's the only way.

Then what if I high-five myself

and enter the photo

You'll lose contact with me.

If that happens,

you won't know anything about

what will happen in the photos.

Huh?

How--

How did I enter the photo by myself?

As usual, you only have 12 hours.

During this period,

you must keep a low profile,

as though you were never here.

I'm only going to observe

the m*rder*r's whereabouts

and look for clues.

I won't attract anyone's attention,

nor make any unconventional moves.

Then, I'll be able to retreat unscathed.

Lu Lu Guang?

I really can't get in touch with him.

Damn it, where did he go?

Seems like this is

the surveillance camera's blind spot.

I'll just wait here for him to come back,

and then

Oh?

My phone

Lu Guang instructed me,

in order to prevent you from getting

more anxious by reading the rumors,

I will be holding onto your phone

for safekeeping.

Ah, gosh,

at this critical moment

Who's there?

It's the police.

I have a few questions

to ask Liu Min.

Mr. Liu! It's the police,

they're here to see Min Min!

Why are the police here?

They haven't stopped

showing up since this morning!

The screenshot of the surveillance

footage that you posted online

is ruining my son's life!

Mr. Liu,

we have received a lot of

information about your son,

that's why we're visiting you,

to find out the truth.

What?

You really believe the comments

of those haters online?

They just hate rich people!

This is cyberbullying!

How could my son be involved

in these serial murders?

Such nonsense.

Those people hate our company,

this is such a typical revenge psychology!

I'm so sorry for troubling you.

Hey, it's just on the way.

I don't know what's going on today,

I couldn't hail a ride.

Let's go.

Let's not keep your parents waiting.

Mr. Liu,

you can't say that.

The reason everyone has

opinions about this is because

Uhh Mr. Liu,

how about you call Liu Min out,

and we can have a chat?

What is there to chat about?

He has gone through enough these few days!

Stop making his life harder!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Ms. Zhou, come out and send them off!

Hey! Go, go, go, go, go!

Get lost!

You can ask us to leave,

but don't push us.

Dad, who's here?

Why aren't you leaving?

--Leave!

--You

Min Min, why are you out here?

My son was in a car accident a while ago,

he's already paralyzed!

How could he possibly

still go around hurting people?

If I follow this trail,

I'm bound to find some clues.

Oh my,

I'm so sorry, Mr. Liu,

I fell asleep.

That's okay,

I heard about old Mr. Zhu,

you must be upset.

If you're tired, rest a little.

Oh, about that

I

Don't worry about it,

I was simply mentioning it.

So what are your plans after this?

I want to go home,

spend time with my parents,

and find another job.

I used to have a longing for big cities.

I would work hard,

struggle if I have to.

But now that I think about it,

finding a life that suits me

is the most important thing.

Huh?

Are we going the wrong way?

The navigation system shows

congestion on the main road,

and rerouted us.

So how long will it take to get there?

I think we won't be getting there today.

What do you mean?

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 remember that your real name was,

was something like Wu Lihua, right?

Ah,

to make you seem like the other

intellectual white-collars,

you even gave yourself an English name,

Emma.

How disgusting.

Emma?

Why is she here?

You people are from out of town,

no matter how glamorously

you package yourselves,

it doesn't change a thing!

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 I don't know what money

you're talking about.

Fine.

Then let me refresh your memory!

How could this be?

Why is it her?

Lu Guang,

unless Lu Guang

What are these photos?

I've understood the situation.

I'm sorry.

This time, there is nothing we can do.

He had already known that

Emma was one of the victims,

so he didn't want me to

get involved in this case.

It's the middle of the night. Who is it?

Ignore it.

--Tell me! Tell me now!

--So it's because of me

Because I

Tell me!

My dear daughter,

are you home yet?

I heard from your dad

that you got criticized by your supervisor

because of the call just now.

I'm sorry.

Tell me you didn't do anything stupid.

It's because

I did something stupid

Why can't your kind of people

just leave me alone?

You live such pathetic lives,

yet online, you slander me,

criticize me!

And after all that,

you still covet my money!

Die,

die!

All of you must die!

No one's picking up.

We've been waiting for almost two hours,

where is she?

I hope nothing's happened to her.

Pooh, pooh, pooh,

pooh three times,

get rid of such unlucky words!

Pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh

Why is my kindness repaid

with such consequences?

You have to follow my commands completely,

without making any changes.

You fool,

I told you.

Let the past be,

for we cannot change the past.

Let the future be,

for the future will definitely change

because of us.

Lu Guang,

can you tell me,

what am I supposed to do now?

The door was locked the whole time,

how did he just disappear?

Cheng Xiaoshi,

please don't do anything stupid!

Lu Guang,

Cheng Xiaoshi

Where did he go?

He went

He--

He

He just appeared out of nowhere!

Qiao Ling?

Lu Guang,

why did you let Qiao Ling

I've got questions for you, too!

Why did you do it alone?

Do you know how serious

the consequences would be?

The things you've done,

the things you'll change,

are all out of your control!

I know,

I know about it all,

so I didn't do anything

What?

Then you went into the photo

It's Emma.

The one who was k*lled after

entering the car with the m*rder*r

was Emma

What?

The CFO's assistant who gave us

the task with Quede Games?

Yes.

There's also something else

I want to tell you.

You've always blamed yourself

because you thought

you didn't notice Doudou

being abducted back then.

Actually, I was responsible

in that case.

Let's go and take a look,

see how long the queue is.

Cheng Xiaoshi?

It was because my sudden presence

diverted your attention away.

So you mean to say,

you can enter photos?

Yes.

My job is to enter the photos

as the executor,

while Lu Guang, as the observer,

gives me instructions on what to do.

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 it seems that

he definitely isn't 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.

Yes, 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.
