[Death Chasing]
Who are you?
Kun Zi, the food court incident last night must be your doing.
You hurt two people, that's not bad.
Let's go.
Come in.
Inspector Liu.
Yes. Have you caught the guy?
I brought him back.
Neat and speed have always been your style.
I called you back because I have a case for you.
-What case? -A missing person case.
Take a look.
Due to the exceptional circumstance that all the missing persons are women,
it'll be better if you are the one in charge.
You will be the leader in this case and the others will assist you.
What are your thoughts?
There is only the missing person's fingerprint, which is strange.
You're sharp. I'll provide you with some other information.
Is there anything else not recorded in the file?
The missing person's family lodged a report.
She used to transfer money for her parents
between 10th to 15th every single month but she didn't in April.
Her family thought that something was off
and they couldn't contact her for a few days so they lodged the report.
The report states that
there are no signs of struggle at the crime scene
so the possibility of physical assault at the scene is out.
Also, there is no statement that she packed in a rush
so I don't think that she left in a hurry.
How did we obtain her address?
The missing person's name is An Ni, she worked in a nightclub.
The Drug Control Department is currently investigating a drug case
and they kept an eye on her because they think that she's involved.
The drug case closed two days before
she was reported to be missing
and they concluded that she is not involved.
Her address is given by the Drug Control Department.
As for the nightclub,
you should go check it out for any other clues.
The others are waiting for your orders.
Remember to be discreet and report to me at once if there's anything.
I'll go right away.
Did anyone come to this room?
No. I have been keeping the keys after the police left.
Alright, thanks.
She is financially stable.
She lives by herself.
She has long hair.
She has a neat personality.
She is meticulous when it comes to makeup.
She seems to like vintage accessories.
She has pursuers.
Hello. Can I help you with anything?
Please get me your manager.
Hello.
Do you recognize this person?
An Ni? It's been a while since she last worked here.
Who's closer to her here? I need to know more about her.
You must be Fei.
Your manager must've told you about what I do.
I am here to ask you some questions.
You are making a nuisance, how am I supposed to work here after this?
I don't have any information for you.
Do you know that An Ni is missing?
-Can I not go to the police station? -We can do it here.
People with my job don't get many true friends.
An Ni and I are from the same hometown so we were quite close.
However, I did not talk to her much lately other than seeing her at work.
Why didn't you contact her?
She said that she wanted to quit because she is in a relationship.
Did she mention who he is?
Not really. She did say that he really likes her.
He did not judge her for her job and he sounded rich.
-Do you know his name? -No.
-Is he a customer from the nightclub? -A customer?
Don't you know that there is no true love for us who work in entertainment centres?
Do you have any of An Ni's recent pictures? Show me.
[Inspector Liu]
-What? -[We just got a report.]
[The missing person is a female and she worked at a nightclub]
[before she's gone missing.]
-Miss Shen. -What's the situation now?
The landlord did not receive any message from her on whether she will keep renting
and she did not pick up any of his calls so he came to look.
He came here a few times but nobody answered the door.
He thought that something is off so he called the police.
Have you gotten the information of the tenant?
Zhang Shu Mei, female. She has a middle school-level education.
She is known as Mei when she was working at a nightclub in Dunhuang.
She has a criminal record for prostitution two years ago.
Again? How about her place of birth?
She is an orphan and she is rarely in contact with relatives.
[Author: Zheng Yuan]
Hello. Are you looking for someone?
Hello. I am looking for Zheng Yuan.
Are you...
This is him. Is there anything that I can help you with?
I am a police officer, Shen Ke. I am here to ask you some questions.
Here.
Officer Shen, have a seat.
Professor Zheng, to be frank,
I thought that you are a middle-aged man before I came here. I didn't think that...
You can call me Zheng Yuan.
I guess that you can see me as an old man because of my place.
Forgive me for coming here so boldly. Here's what happened.
I found many of your articles about fashion on the Internet
especially your great knowledge in vintage accessories.
The reason I came here is to ask you to analyse the specialties
of a few vintage accessories.
I have been writing for fashion magazines for many years but this is the first time
a police officer is asking for my opinion on something related to fashion.
If you don't mind me asking, are the accessories related to a crime?
I suppose.
Alright. I'll try my best.
One moment, please.
Officer Shen, please have a cup of coffee.
Thank you.
Do you know what is the meaning behind nostalgia?
Meaning? Is there some kind of story?
I'll share my opinion with you.
The earrings and the pearl necklace that you showed me
prove that the owner is interested in vintage themes.
This might help you narrow down the scope.
I thought so, too.
There aren't many vintage-themed shops around here.
I am also a seller but I make personal customizations.
Personal customizations?
I am interested in these, I make them as a hobby for my spare time.
By the way, there are a few vintage shops around here.
I can give you the addresses so that you can go ask.
That's great.
Professor Zheng, can you please tell me the specialties of the accessories?
I took a look at the design and texture of the earrings just now.
They are purely handmade by someone with exceptional skills.
There is only one shop that possesses skills like this in this city
aside from myself.
Thank you so much.
Professor Zheng, do you know anything about this face cream?
I suppose that this is a very old brand.
It has been existing for some time as a niche brand.
Its place of production is in Shanghai and it was popular 20 years ago.
It is now brought back by the public as vintage themes are making a comeback.
I see. By the way, have you seen this girl?
I don't think so. Is she...
Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
Alright. Thank you for your cooperation.
By the way,
This is my number.
You can call me anytime if you think of anything to add.
You can ask me anything anytime, too.
Thank you.
[Missing person]
[Prostitution]
[5th June 2015]
[23rd March 2016]
[Prostitution]
Based on what we have now, we can deduce that
the vintage earrings and face cream have probative value.
I've looked at the other cases.
There are five similar cases so far and all of their victims are women.
Is there any similarity between the five cases, then?
Other than what I said, all of them are female escorts
with complicated social backgrounds.
Also, all of them still have loose ends because the missing persons are not found.
You should proceed with the clues first before investigating the other five
to see whether there are any other similarities.
I made a request to investigate the exhibits from the other similar cases
but it will take some time since the cases are from some time ago.
Old Li? Please process Shen Ke's exhibit request as fast as you can.
Alright, thank you.
Don't worry about the exhibits. I asked someone to keep an eye on it.
According to An Ni's friend, she has been acting strangely before she went missing.
She thinks that she got a new boyfriend. There is something suspicious, though.
The missing person lives by herself but she must've at least asked someone over.
Yet, there are only her fingerprints at the crime scene.
It's odd because it's too deliberate.
You're right. It's reverse psychology.
I'm planning to go check the crime scene.
We are racing against the clock.
Every single second gives her a better chance to survive.
I'll proceed, then.
Are all of the earrings here handmade?
Yes. My father taught me the skills.
By the way, have you seen this woman?
I have no recollection of her.
There aren't many who bought this kind of earrings
so I don't think she bought it here.
Wait, most of my customers purchased accessories online.
How about this woman? Have you seen her?
No.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
Officer, the earrings are indeed my work but it could be sold by someone else.
Are you saying that it might be sold by other shops?
That is common. There are many local and non-local shops.
-Thank you for your cooperation. -You're welcome.
-Goodbye. -Goodbye.
[Professor Zheng]
Hello.
[Hello, Officer Shen. This is Zheng Yuan.]
Hi, Professor Zheng. What's the matter?
[You told me that I can call you anytime if I have anything to add.]
[I recollected my memories after your visit and I remembered that]
[the woman you showed me came to my shop before.]
Really? Can we meet up to talk now?
[Shall we meet at Binhai Bridge?]
Sure. I'll be there in half an hour.
Professor Zheng, sorry that I'm late.
I didn't wait for long.
You can call me Zheng Yuan. I will call you Shen Ke, too.
-It wouldn't be so awkward between us. -I thought so, too.
I come here often to look at the sea. It soothes my mind.
I thought that you are a pragmatic person.
I didn't expect you to be quite a romantic.
I am just poetic.
I was an active member of the poem club at school.
I don't think anyone who is invested in art isn't sentimental.
We are the total opposites of police with practical minds.
Am I really that boring to you?
Let's take a walk.
I checked my sale records after your visit and found the earrings.
It was sold some time ago so I couldn't remember well.
I saw a long-haired man when I was walking and remembered that
the missing person indeed visited my shop and bought the vintage earrings.
A long-haired man?
It was a month ago.
The woman came to my shop with a man.
He was spirited-looking with his long hair tied up and he had average height.
I suppose that he is her boyfriend.
Why do you think so?
I remember that they came and picked a few pairs of earrings including
the one in the photo you showed me.
They looked like a couple based on their interaction.
A long-haired man?
That is an important clue.
-Professor Zheng... -Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Yuan, do you still remember his appearance?
Can you go to the police station tomorrow for facial composite?
-I'll try my best. -See you.
Who's there? Show yourself!
Don't wet your clothes.
Quiet!
You parasites! Why did I even keep you?
Both of you are just like your father, a good-for-nothing!
What are you waiting for? Clean the mess!
What's wrong? Why are you mad?
It's been a while since you came. I thought that you forgot me.
My wife has been alert, I couldn't leave the house.
Did you bring me what I asked?
Yeah.
-What do you think? -Does it hurt?
It took me awhile to find this.
I like the scent.
Me, too.
Stop it.
Let me tell you something.
I have an extremely important client coming over this time around.
You can help me a lot if you treat him well.
How much are you paying this time?
-This amount. -That much?
However, you can't be the one.
He demands a virgin.
Understood. She's over 18, anyway.
Let's go.
[Lianjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau]
[Chief Of Office]
Come in.
Inspector Liu.
-How is your injury? -It's nothing, just an abrasion.
That's a relief.
Shen Ke, you should get the situation under control and request for assistance
if the same situation happens again.
-Do you understand? -Yes.
But this is the closest I've been to the suspect, I didn't want to give up.
No buts. There will be no next time.
-Tell me about the case. -Yes, Sir.
The first missing person case is dated at 13th of April,
I call it An Ni's case.
The more recent Mei's case is dated 4th of May last year
according to her takeout receipt.
I've looked at the other case files.
There are a few more unsolved missing person cases in this city.
One is dated in 2014, another in 2015,
and the last one is dated 23rd of March in 2016.
The similarity between these five cases is the missing persons are female escorts
interested in vintage theme.
I can't find any indication of suicide nor any signs of survival
of the victims of all the cases so I think that they are murder cases.
That is my guess, too.
From the standpoint of time, these cases can be serial killings.
The culprit might commit murder again.
When did these two happen?
20th of April for the 2014 one and 5th of June for the 2015 one.
The cases are in spring and summer.
Tell me about the suspect you saw last night.
Yes, Sir.
That man is a major suspect for the cases based on my preliminary inference.
From the information we have, that man can be the missing person,
An Ni's boyfriend.
Do you have proof?
I am still waiting for the DNA report and the facial composite.
Hello.
Are the DNA report and facial composite requested by Shen Ke ready?
Send them over.
What else do you have?
Have you watched the CCTV footage in An Ni's apartment?
I did.
That man is indeed very suspicious.
He returned to An Ni's place after she left the house
on the day she went missing.
He must've removed his fingerprints and evidence incriminating him at that time.
You can arrest the man if there is good evidence that
proves any similarity between him and the missing persons of the other cases.
Come in.
Inspector Liu.
[DNA report]
The DNA report states that the hair you collected
belongs to two different people. A male and a female, both with long hair.
An Ni's the female
whereas the male's identity is found in our criminal record.
His name is Xu Zong Lei. He was a frequent suspect
for burglary and fraud in the past but he was freed due to lack of evidence.
All the victims are women so those were romance scams.
He's the same guy, just with a shorter hairstyle.
The evidence we have is sufficient to issue an arrest for him.
This is your case. What do you think?
Inspector Liu, there are still parts that I don't understand.
I'd like to continue investigating first.
We can only prove that he went to Case 413's missing person's house
even if we take him here.
We cannot establish anything since the missing person is still untraceable.
Even if we think that these five cases are related, there are no bodies.
That is the biggest doubt here.
I will give you two more days.
Find him and take him here if you don't find anything new.
Yes, Sir.
Shen Ke, an offender in serial cases like this usually has
a habit in committing the crime.
Based on my experience, there must be some clues from these dates.
-You should take another look. -I will.
-Also, take care of your safety. -Understood.
There's a robber!
Stay here.
Stop running!
20th of April, 2014, 5th of May, 2015,
23rd of March, 2016, 4th of May, 2017,
and 3rd of April, this year.
The recent ones are sorted by computer in the control room in the front.
You can get them from there without a problem.
Those from more than three years ago will be slightly more inconvenient.
We can only look for them based on the dates.
Sure, no problem.
I heard that police like you work the whole day.
-Miss, are you married? -No.
-Do you have a boyfriend? -No, I've never thought of it.
How can that be? Aren't your parents worried?
My father was also a police officer.
That's good to know. We're here.
I remember that the sprinkler system in the storeroom had some issue
around two years ago
so the papers for May, June, and July 2015 are destroyed.
[Heavy traffic due to continuous heavy rain]
[Weather: Light rain]
[Weather: Medium rain]
[Weather: Heavy rain]
[Weather: Medium rain]
I have checked on the weather report for 23rd March and 5th June
like you asked.
Both days were cloudy without any rain
but it was during the East Asian rainy season
so it rained over 20 days in a month and most days were cloudy.
[Calling Professor Zheng]
[Sorry. The number you have called is temporarily unavailable.]
[Please try it later. Sorry.]
Hello, Inspector Liu?
This is the car that belongs to Mei, the missing person of Case 504 a year ago.
It has been in the car park for a year without the owner.
The car park security called the police and so they notified us.
Inspector Liu, this seems to be the most direct clue
to get in touch with the missing person.
You're right. What is your view on this?
The car has been here for too long, there shouldn't be any useful items in it.
I don't think there will be useful fingerprints either.
However, this tells us that the suspect was nearby.
Well done, I have the same thoughts.
Go.
Inspector Liu, look.
This again.
I guess you'll be busy today.
-Have you seen this woman? -No.
-How about this one? -No.
-Do you have any recollection of this car? -No.
Have you seen this person, then?
-No. -No.
-How about this woman? Have you seen her? -No.
-Have you seen this car? -No.
What's the matter? Are you exhausted?
Let me tell you a story.
There was this police officer.
He heard his colleague talking about his senior's achievements
when he just joined the police.
The senior solved many complicated cases and had great achievements,
he is one of the legends in the police.
One day, he met a robber with a weapon on the way home.
He charged to the robber and fought with him bravely.
However, he got stabbed with the knife
and yet, he still put his handcuff on the robber.
After the incident, the police officer finally understood
the true meaning of being the "People's Police".
He could overcome any difficult obstacle no matter how dejected he was
whenever he thought about his senior ever since because it gives him
strength to face them.
Shen Ke, you must learn and find out where to get your own source of strength
instead of facing everything by yourself.
Our vision is not having any work because there aren't any bad guys out there
nor there's any evil to be demolished.
All our hard work will be worth it if we can achieve that.
Inspector Liu, that's enough. I understood.
Dad, me and Inspector Liu are here to visit you.
Inspector Shen, don't worry. Shen Ke has performed very well.
She is now an excellent member of the People's Police.
The cases are all dated on a rainy day without a doubt but I have a question.
Tell me about it.
All the victims have a similar job so I think that they are individual cases
but I can't be sure.
You can't see it that way.
The victims' job is precisely the reason you can't see those as individual cases.
We should discuss whether it is one person fixated on vintage theme committed them
or a few different people committed them individually.
-Right? -That's what I meant.
Look. The victims' occupation involves getting physical to the opposite gender
with the motive to attract him.
Therefore, the possibility of them getting into contact with
people interested in vintage theme far outweighs other occupations.
Putting the occupation similarity aside,
without providing those services, the chances of them getting into contact
with men will be far less.
If they have different occupations, those should be individual cases,
which means the offenders approached the victims with motive.
You have a point but in my opinion, the fact that they have the same
unusual job makes it more probable for them to get into contact with
people with that particular trait from their customers.
All of them were in a relationship based on their diaries.
That explains everything we just discussed.
If the victims' partners are the same person, we can confirm that
this is a serial crime with a specific character and vice versa.
You're right. I'll proceed with my investigation.
Shen Ke, I have a few more points to add.
The diaries signify privacy, the earrings are for an impact on visuals,
and the face cream is for olfactory stimulation.
Also, all of them happened on atmospheric cloudy or rainy days
and the victims' occupation is linked to sex and lust.
You can link these clues together for a direction to find the murderer.
Sorry, I had flu and I was hospitalized because I was feverish.
I'm almost fully recovered now, don't worry.
-You're sick? How are you feeling? -I'm fine.
-I should leave so that you can rest. -It's fine, please take a seat.
Sorry that I've been busy. You can tell me what I can help you with.
I do need your assistance and analysis to make a development.
I have a few questions for you.
Have you seen any of these women?
I saw this woman. I told you that she came to my shop with her boyfriend.
I don't know the other women.
How about these? Take a look. They are extremely important.
I did some research and they have similar materials.
What do you think about these?
The diaries are a symbol of privacy.
The face cream and earrings are to spread the feminine charm
as they are subtle elements to attract the attention of the opposite gender.
Based on those,
we can infer that they are related to the category of men they wanted to attract
or a specific trait of men who are interested in the same theme.
If that is a specific trait of the man instead of a general one,
relevancy is established.
My intuition tells me that there must be something suspicious with
the category of men they were targeting or their boyfriend.
Is the occupation of those women who possess those items a general trait?
We have regulations and we can't tell you but I agree with you.
There must be an issue with the boyfriend.
What are you thinking?
I can only talk about my intuition since you can't tell me much.
These earrings have different designs but their main elements are the same
which shows that their buyers might be the same person
because we can tell the person's preference from the main element
like a hidden signature.
Are you talking about the man that you talked about?
Based on the items you provided, it's highly possible.
Look at the face cream.
Although they have different designs,
the colour of the casings became similar as it faded with time.
That tells us that they might be produced from the same line.
That means they have the same channel of transport to the retailers
which are very likely to be in the same city or the same province.
-You're right. -Remember this.
Fashionable products of the same brand can have different production lines
and they could be anywhere, which is common to cut their costs
from selling from a nearer distance.
Got it.
I don't know what the case is about but based on the items you brought,
the long-haired man is definitely suspicious.
Inspector Liu. Miss Shen.
We caught a drug addict last night.
He is an accomplice of Xu Zong Lei, the suspect of the other cases.
He is the person who you were chasing.
Miss Shen.
Have you seen this woman?
Yes. The police officer showed me.
Think better.
I've seen her. She is Xu Zong Lei's girlfriend.
What is her name? When did you see her?
Where? What situation was it?
He didn't tell me her name, he only said that she's his girlfriend.
That was over a month ago. Xu Zong Lei brought her with him.
You know, he's the kind of person who makes profits out of women.
He gave me 1,000 yuan as remuneration.
That's all you have?
[Keep thinking.]
[There was once, but I don't remember the exact timing.]
He asked me to be his driver to pick him and the woman up.
They started kissing in the car.
I even looked from the rear-view mirror. He does have his tricks with women.
What happened after that?
He took her to a villa he rented at the East of Xinglong Street.
He called me and asked me to leave so I did. That's all.
Did you notice any unusual interest he has or did he ever mention anything about it?
Right.
I remember that he once told me that he likes girls who like vintage stuff
because they are gullible dreamers.
On the other hand, hip girls are smarter and they require more effort.
He also mentioned that he only wants money instead of sex.
Miss, is that unusual? I've told you everything I know.
What were you doing on the 3rd of April?
3rd of April? I don't remember, that's almost a month ago.
-Were you with Xu Zong Lei? -No, I swear.
-Have you ever seen this pair of earrings? -No.
-How about this? -I've seen this.
Are you sure?
I was his driver and he bought a few of those.
Was he obsessed with the cream's scent? Does he have any other unusual fixation?
Officer, what do you mean?
Are you sure that you did not see Xu Zong Lei recently?
I'm sure. I heard that Brother Lao Gui from the streets is looking for him.
He was supposed to distribute a batch but he ran away with it.
He takes drugs, too.
He obtained money from women to purchase drugs.
Officer, is what I said amounting to contribution?
It will be beneficial for you if what you said is the truth.
Officer, I'm speaking the truth! A hundred percent!
Xu Zong Lei is now the biggest suspect as all the witnesses and evidence
are pointing to him.
Besides, the villa he rented is just two streets away from Mei's parking spot.
I've decided to summon Xu Zong Lei now.
-Inform the Drug Control Department. -Yes, Sir.
Sha Sha, here!
We have a difficult customer. Follow me.
Do you have to ask me whenever there is trouble?
It's a pretty big house. I didn't notice yesterday because I was drunk.
That is for you.
I'm not sure whether this design is too old for your taste.
I like vintage things.
Not to mention, it's a gift from you.
I'm glad that you like it. Put that on the next time I see you.
By the way, did you inform the others that you didn't go back last night?
I forgot. I should make a call.
Why isn't there a signal?
Did I break it again?
What's wrong?
I should restart it.
I'll buy you a new one.
-Are you serious? -Yeah.
Pack your things. We'll go shopping.
I'll just contact you to come over next time.
-I should get my things. -Go ahead.
By the way, why is the huge red patch on your body last night missing?
How strange.
That happens whenever I drink. I guess I have an allergy.
-You should go pack. -Alright.
[Brother, I've done what you told me to.]
[The police are searching for you, it's pretty tensed out there.]
[Be careful.]
Get me a few violent men and ask the buyer to meet tonight.
We'll leave after getting the money from the deal.
I have something else to prepare.
I have to leave them some presents before they leave.
I got my things. Let's go.
I have an emergency at work, I'll come back as soon as it's settled.
How's this?
You stay here and wait for me. Okay?
Be good.
Fine. Be quick.
No worries.
Stay here.
Inspector Qin from the Drug Control Department found out that
Xu Zong Lei has a drug trading activity. We should hurry there.
They finally showed themselves.
[Sha Sha, what's the matter with you? Why was your phone out of reach?]
Sister, there is something wrong with my phone. What's the matter?
[You have a customer, you almost missed him. Hurry back.]
It's almost time. Why are they nowhere to be seen?
No worries, they are pretty sure.
Be alert. They might flee with the drugs before reaching here.
No worries.
I got these violent men from the suburbs, they've already done several murders.
They're willing to do anything as long as you pay them.
-How's the person you caught? -It's settled.
Something's wrong. Retreat.
Chase them!
We should split up.
Let her go!
Are you alright?
He ran to me, it wasn't my fault!
[Haigang Town] [Basement Level 2]
Inspector Liu, the address...
This must be the address where the missing person is tied up.
How is your injury?
It's fine.
I'll bring the team there. You should go back to check your injury.
-I'm going, too. -This is an order.
It wouldn't be great if you delay from getting treated. Wait for my news.
[Calling Professor Zheng]
[Hello, the phone that you're calling is powered off.]
Shen Ke, what are you doing here at this time?
What happened to your arm?
I'm here to thank you. The case is solved.
-Let's talk inside. -Come on in.
I was doing a stocktake so I didn't hear the bell.
How is your arm?
It's a minor injury, it brings me pride.
-Can you drink? -Sure, it's a celebration.
Alright. I'll celebrate with you.
[Missing person]
Over here.
This is Lao Gui, the dealer that we've been searching for.
[Shen Ke]
[Hello, the phone that you're calling is powered off.]
Welcome to my world.
Officer Shen, are you surprised?
Officer Shen, you are the only living person
who can know the truth.
I would grab the same umbrella every rainy night
and smell the same scent
while looking for my prey.
Am I close to the person you have in mind?
You have been naughty. Why did you try to stop me?
Why did you stop me from enjoying all this pleasure?
Do you have any idea how tormented I was every rainy night?
They remind me of my childhood, my mother,
her necklace, her earrings, her sins and crimes.
I am not going to kill you because we are the same kind.
Enjoy the show.
Sister.
Who would've thought that Zheng Yuan's the serial killer behind those cases?
We found some bones in the walls of his basement and we confirmed that
they belong to the victims of the missing person cases.
How about Xu Zong Lei?
Xu Zong Lei is a friend of Zheng Yuan's
but he had no idea that he committed crimes.
Xu Zong Lei was using Zheng Yuan's accessories to please women
and Zheng Yuan got access to the women from him.
That's his criminal opportunity.
Based on the CCTV footage, Xu Zong Lei returned to An Ni's apartment
after she left to steal her belongings and wipe off his fingerprints.
He didn't know that An Ni went missing on that day.
He thought we were investigating about him when we went to An Ni's to take evidence
so he wanted to go back to make sure that he did not leave any other evidence.
That is when he met you.
Zheng Yuan knew everything so he made a plan accordingly
to steer us away from solving the case.
I wonder what kind of life led him to be this deranged.
Unbelievable.
His mother who was a female escort, her vintage earrings,
the unique scent, and of course, his memories on rainy days
made him, a human, into a beast.
Shen Ke, what are you thinking?
Inspector Liu, I remember you said that we are police
and our vision is not having any work
because there aren't any bad guys out there
nor there's any evil to be demolished.
I firmly believe that
sacrifices are worth it to uphold that.
Great.
Dear, this is your home from now on.
