01x11 - Pinnacle of Light

[bunniefuu]

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?

Do you remember

the message the m*rder*r left

when Qiao Ling last called Xu Shanshan?

Yes.

I will show up as promised.

That's what I thought.

What if I'm the person

who made an appointment with him?

Are you saying that

because of us diving back into the photo,

we have created an alternate timeline?

That's right.

If you think about it this way

it all makes sense.

So what do you plan to do?

Follow his train of thought,

give him a few hints,

and bring him into the game.

I'll regard Emma's message

sent at 10 am as hint.

Here we are.

I'm sure perverts like him

who commit such meticulous crimes

can't stand being

seen through and provoked.

After he takes the bait,

we can make our next move--

"Please enter the urn."

Why do you think he would

he walk right into your trap?

Because of the motion sensor

doorbell in our shop.

Come and receive guests!

Come and receive guests!

I've re-recorded a small section

and placed it in the darkroom.

You're pretty punctual.

The moment he enters

You're pretty punctual.

No wonder you were dawdling around

in the darkroom all afternoon,

you were preparing for this.

Wow.

Getting your approval

really isn't an easy thing.

There's another problem.

Even if we can catch

the person who spoke to us,

how can we prove

that he is the serial k*ller?

This is the most exciting

part of the plan,

but also the most dangerous.

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!

Oh.

So it really is you.

How interesting!

Is k*lling innocent people

interesting to you, too?

k*lling innocent people?

I'd never do such a worthless thing.

That doesn't hurt at all.

Oh, you're gone.

I've finally found my true friend.

Even if we can catch the person

who spoke to us,

how can we prove

that he is the serial k*ller?

This is the most exciting

part of the plan,

but also the most dangerous.

What are these?

I went through various social media

accounts on SNS.

By sticking these photos

all over the darkroom,

I can defeat him with ease.

I'll provoke him.

A competitive person like him

will inevitably expose his weak points.

Gosh, what is this?

You only care about yourself,

and you cut off half my face!

Then, then you do it.

My hand is too short,

my face would look too big.

It's better if you do it.

Um, pig head,

why are you daydreaming?

Why should I repent?

What did I do wrong?

Your parents are in a rush

for you to get married,

but you seem pretty calm.

Well, is marriage that important?

Come, Juan Juan, sit properly.

Let Mommy take a photo of you.

Oh my goodness,

I think you might as well spend

the rest of your life with it.

Committees of each class,

gather after this meeting

To collect the monthly

exam papers and transcripts.

We're having such a serious

school meeting, yet here you are,

secretly taking photos of

your female classmates.

Are you not ashamed?

Each photo here represents

a life you've destroyed.

And the victims have done nothing wrong!

The police is investigating

Chenjin's cause of death.

I see.

It's done through clapping.

Let me see,

were my eyes closed?

Hmm, this is pretty good.

I'll go home and edit it a little,

then I'll post it on Weibo.

Why do young people

love posting stuff online?

Hey, what do you know?

This is called sharing.

Don't you also constantly show off

the designer sweater

that our daughter bought you?

How is that the same?

I'm just showing it off

in our small neighborhood.

To deprive a person of their life

is to destroy the happiness

of so many more.

These innocent victims

are suffering so much

because of you!

I'm just interested in you.

Whether those other people live well

or not has nothing to do with me.

So it really is you!

You're wrong.

I'm not the one who wanted to k*ll them.

I'm just an agent.

What do you mean?

I was the one

who k*lled those people.

Why would you do that?

Hatred?

Jealousy?

Or maybe anger?

Whatever.

As long as I had fun.

Besides, there's no one in this world

that can catch me.

Why should I care?

Is that so?

He admitted to it--arrest him!

Liu Min!

It's you after all!

Good job.

You made me admire you even more.

Stop moving!

We'll meet again.

When that time comes,

make sure you don't cheat again.

Stand properly!

It's too late to pretend to be crippled!

Get up and walk yourself!

Even though you guys caught him,

methods like this aren't encouraged.

In the future, you have to let us know

as soon as possible.

Oh, I'm sorry.

We only just realized that

he might come and cause trouble,

so we took some temporary measures.

We sent officers to search

Liu Min's other residences,

and we found Xu Shanshan

in the garage of one of his villas.

--She's not hurt,

just a little frightened.

--Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang!

Are you all right?

Yes, we're fine.

They've found Shanshan, too.

I'll tell you the details

of the situation later.

This Lu Guang seems

too mature to be a kid.

Officer Chen, I hope you can

help me with something.

I can't take my mind off Emma's case.

If it's possible, can I

Liu Min, don't pretend to be dumb.

We could clearly hear

everything you said just now

from outside the door.

Sir,

I really don't remember anything.

Who did you ask?

We found Xu Shanshan in your garage,

yet you still deny

being the serial k*ller?

What if I told you

that my friend was the one

who did all of this,

would you believe me?

What? You have an accomplice?

All right then.

In chronological order of the crimes,

tell us everything--

everything you know.

I remember this b*tch clearly.

That's more or less what happened.

Cheng Xiaoshi planned the arrest.

Oh wow, Cheng Xiaoshi,

I never knew you could be

reliable as well.

Huh?

It's no big deal.

Are you okay?

Your mind is somewhere else.

Something's still troubling me

and I can't find the answer.

It's Liu Min's alibi

in Emma's case.

If that's the case,

is Emma's m*rder*r someone else?

This is a surveillance photo

of Wu Lihua before her death,

remember not to share it with anyone else.

I requested Emma's surveillance

photos from Officer Chen.

Lu Guang, take a look.

See if you can find any clues.

This Emma person worked in

our company's finance department.

She was new, yet it wasn't long before

she was promoted to become

the CFO's assistant.

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 suspected that she took my money

while Old Man Zhu was being arrested.

I just wanted to scare her a little,

but unfortunately

You people at the bottom of the society,

why do you always give me trouble?

You live like dogs,

yet online, you slander me,

criticize me!

And after all that,

you still covet my money!

Die, die!

All of you must die!

At the time, I was terrified.

I thought I had accidentally

k*lled someone,

and there was even a witness.

But there was no one in the trunk.

I thought I had bumped into a ghost.

Why does it sound like

you're trying to fool me?

So how did Wu Lihua die in the end?

I got back in the car in a hurry,

I wanted to send the woman

to the hospital, but

Ghost!

There's only one camera

on the abandoned bridge,

and the field of vision is too small.

All I can see

is a pretty injured Emma.

I thought she had turned into a zombie,

I was too afraid to even

grip the steering wheel.

That b*tch even lunged at me.

Let me get off!

--Go away!

--Let me get off!

That's how I crashed the car,

and then I passed out.

This leg is also thanks to her.

Lu Guang, let me dive into

the photo and check it out.

The truth may not give you

a satisfactory answer.

Let me witness it personally this time.

But Emma's fate

changed because of me.

That's why I'll try again

no matter what happens.

You b*tch, I'll make you pay.

I'll k*ll your whole family!

What's so great about this shoe?

What do you know?

This is fashion.

So fashion is basically a comparison

of whose is more expensive.

When I grow up and work in the city,

I'll dress you guys up

in the most fashionable

clothing from head to toe.

Our Lihua is currently working as an

executive at that Haode Games company!

Dad, it's Quede Games.

Oh, it's the same.

Besides, it's just the CFO's assistant.

Listen to that.

It's "Chief,"

and in charge of finance!

When she was young,

she always said

she would go to the city

and make money for us to spend.

Haha, look at her now,

she's doing pretty well.

My dear daughter,

you're doing well.

Emma,

this toast is to you.

Uh, Mr. Zhu,

I don't know how to drink.

Is drinking something you need to learn?

Exactly. Who needs to learn to drink?

Just drink it then you'll know how to.

Mr. Zhu's hand is getting tired.

Drink!

Drink!

Drink!

Drink!

Drink!

Drink!

Drink!

You got promoted.

Shouldn't you at least

have a toast as gratitude?

Thank you, Mr. Zhu.

Wow!

Great!

People who can drink

can really drink, right?

One more drink!

One more drink!

My dear daughter,

how are you lately?

That's enough now,

she's busy,

don't keep disturbing her all the time.

I'm afraid of disturbing her,

that's why I've been

texting her so little.

Emma!

Who are you?

I'm sorry.

Your misfortune tonight

is all because of me.

Someone once warned me

that I cannot change the past,

but I didn't listen.

I thought replying to your

mother's text on behalf of you

would make all of you happier.

You sent that message on behalf of me?

How is that possible?

Who exactly are you?

My name is Cheng Xiaoshi.

I have the ability to dive back

into the past through photos.

I've returned to this moment

to make up for my mistakes.

If that's true,

can you help me return to the beginning

and start all over?

Mr. Zhu,

why are there two sets of accounts?

And also,

in the other set of accounts,

the depreciation of fixed assets

is ridiculously high.

Emma,

you learn very quickly,

and you're very detailed.

But you don't have enough

experience in the real world.

Some accounts can't be calculated

clearly just by studying.

But this is obviously

creating false accounts.

If we were to be discovered, we would

Go to jail?

Does a son need to go to jail

for stealing his father's money?

Liu Min has been financially cut off

by his father a long time ago.

He wanted me to get him

some pocket money from his father.

I can do someone a favor,

and collect some levy as well,

why not?

And besides,

this is their family matter,

the law can't do anything about it.

You've been working so hard recently.

This is an advance bonus for you.

You should save up some money,

buy a house in the city,

and bring your family here soon.

I want to go back in time,

return that dirty money,

and reject Zhu's harassment.

I want to start a new life!

I've experienced many different lives,

but there's always something

I regret in almost every life.

To expand influence,

to allow my brand name

to be used everywhere,

the noodle business

no longer belongs to me.

I can't let it go.

I really can't.

Ok, pinky promise!

It's daddy's fault

It's daddy's fault

Come back to me

And every time,

no matter how hard I try

there's no guarantee

I can get a perfect ending.

Maybe I can't give you a perfect past,

but I can't let you miss out

on a better future.

Future?

What future do I have left?

This is what I've learned

from all the people that are

trying their best to live.

Some people persevere

their whole life for love.

Ou Yang, I've come to marry you!

Lin Zhen.

Some people get lost

before finding themselves again.

Welcome back.

As long as mom is here,

you'll be just fine.

Some people have taught me

what it is to be a parent.

As long as you keep looking

and keep looking

for ten years,

20 years, or even more

You'll final get the answer

you've longed for.

And some people

have finally gotten their answer.

I believe

everyone has a reason

to try their best to live.

Even though there are times

when we find ourselves in the darkness

eventually, we will meet people

who will shine their light on us.

Captain Xiao, how is it?

Has he told you everything?

He kept going on and on

about how his friend was the culprit,

and none of this has anything

to do with him.

Does he have schizophrenia?

Or Multiple Personality Disorder?

Maybe he mistook one of his

other personalities to be his friend?

Impossible.

The doctor has issued a statement

proving that he's mentally sound.

Hey, speaking of doctor's statement,

shouldn't he be paralyzed?

Then, how did he run into

the photo studio?

My friend,

come quickly!

Come and help me k*ll

all these annoying insects!

How is this possible?

Death is a major node

that cannot be changed.

Hmm?

Are you talking to Cheng Xiaoshi?

Didn't you say that

nothing in this world is absolute?

I didn't realize

there was a witness.

Interesting.

This voice

Unless,

Liu Min is just a puppet,

and the real culprit is someone else!

We have to sh**t the photos well,

and let everybody in school notice us.

No problem, Captain.

I'm a professional.

Why are my glasses making things worse?

My son had an accident not long ago,

and was paralyzed.

He couldn't have committed the crime!

Could it be

Are you his friend?

You're someone

with the ability to possess spirits.

Emma!

Qiao Ling!

This is your punishment for

breaking the rules of the game.

Who the heck are you?

Now, the game has been reset.
