Then I’ll check. Okay, go ahead and check. Don’t even think about destroying evidence. I won’t. Let’s check then. Come on. The watch shows that at eleven o’clock he still had vital signs. But after twelve, they disappeared. So his time of death is between eleven and twelve. If that’s the case, the two of us are in the clear. That means we can vouch for each other. Why? Because we’ve been rehearsing the opera the whole time. What opera? Sing a part right now. If you can’t sing it, you’re both lying for each other. I’m not joking. A lot of media came today. And investors too. They’re all here for our movie. Yes. If they find out that the billion-dollar director is dead, our company is finished. Our stock will plummet too. The entertainment industry The entertainment industry Should I say those four words? will just disappear. So what should we do? So you two need to secretly take the lead in investigating this matter.

Let’s set off together with Tongcheng. Okay. Then you two investigate in secret. Remember to be careful. I’ll go handle the aftermath first. Alright. I’m leaving it to you. Okay. Absolutely no leaks allowed. “Let’s Start Reasoning” Season 3 Case Five officially begins. It is now April 22, 2025. 12:30 PM. The victim in this case is Tui Baiyi. After a preliminary investigation, the murderer has been narrowed down to Ning Que Wu Lan, Ke Ban Chushen, Ba Mian Linglong, Jin Zi Zhaopai. Among these four people, Bai Ma Wangzi and He He Youming were with Tui Baiyi the entire time before the victim’s death. They can be ruled out as suspects. Therefore, you are the detectives for this case. Now, detectives, please lead the suspects and begin the investigation. Do the four of you have any defense for yourselves? I really hate that “petty official” face. Seriously, me too. I feel the same way. Alright, you have a problem. Fine, go ahead and refute me. Now, the four suspects, please talk about your relationship with the deceased. We were good buddies. Good buddies. A blockbuster director is your buddy? No, just kidding. I don’t know him. I’m just here to audition for his project. He’s a director I greatly admire. That’s all. I’m the actress he personally selected. He personally selected you? Yes. So how did you two meet before? He probably saw some of my work. He’s one of my fans. Just like you. I really hate that “petty person in power” look. Seriously, me too. Just like you. As for me, it’s like the relationship between a talent scout and a rising star. Because I once acted in one of his works before. It was called “Dead Ghost Blows the Lamp.” Seventeenth scene, only a silhouette. He’s my artist’s talent scout. And this time, I was also lucky to be invited by him to have a chance to act. He’s also my talent scout. Why is he your talent scout? He’s her talent scout. If he’s her talent scout, he’s your talent scout too? That’s right. What’s your relationship? She is my… She is my artist. I am hers. You are her “I” person. E person, I person. E person. He is also my mentor. I was in his… …in “Dead Ghost Blows the Lamp”. …played one of the male roles, a specialty of mine. Even later than me. Right. In “Dead Ghost Blows the Lamp”, you… What did you play? I played a ghost. I played a dead ghost. And you? What is your relationship with the deceased? You’re asking me? Yes. Speak. I have no relationship with him. I just came to audition for the male lead. So that means next… Are we all here to audition for the male lead? Yes. You are here for the audition. I am already confirmed as the female lead. If you’re confirmed, why are you here? Because I have the right to choose… …who will be my partner. Okay. When we came in just now… …the key to this storeroom was here. Inside. The key. That means this is still a locked room. A murder case. Super soundproof storage room No one would know if someone died in there Let’s examine the door lock See if it can be locked from the inside It’s locked, it can be locked from the inside Wait, hold on Wait, here’s how it works You don’t need a key to lock it from the inside Why? Because, look, for example Right now, this is Unlocked It’s not locked, right? Now I’ve locked it from the inside I can still close the door It’s a fake locked room Right Then he deliberately took this key Locked it and left it here Then went out and closed the door Right Let’s check the body What? There’s a car key There’s a mark on his face A scar Is this a bowl? There’s blood He put on a lot of lip balm That The lipstick murder case What does this puddle of water mean? It’s his saliva This is wet. It’s wet. There must be something in that liquid. This liquid is very likely the cause. The thing that poisoned him. Isn’t there a kind of punishment like that? Where you cover someone with this and pour water over them? But at the scene, there couldn’t be just this little. So what does that mean? Did he drink it? A little bit dripped down. If he had drunk a bit more, he could have survived. That’s what I mean. Sometimes that’s just how it is. That’s fate. Okay. Check his back pocket. Turn him over. Pull him out a bit. Pull the body out a bit. Could there be something under this carpet? What’s this? What? What? Whose outfit is this? Girly style. I know who the culprit is. It’s Ba Mian Linglong. Why? Because I’m wearing green today. I would never use anything purple-pink. Me neither, I’m all pink. No, I think Look, this looks a lot like yours. Honestly, If I put this here, it doesn’t stand out at all. Not out of place at all. Not out of place at all. Then let’s look for something on the body. Turn it over. Today, I just won’t. Whatever you tell me to do, I won’t do it. Then today, you’re already a suspect. It’s already in my mind. I don’t care if I’m in your mind or not. Take this off, or give it to him. There’s a phone. 10:04. There’s an unknown number. A 30-second incoming call. His heart rate was being monitored on his phone. His heartbeat stopped at 11:36. He was officially pronounced dead at 11:36. 11:36. We were together. We were taking a poster photo. Three, two, one. So the killer created an alibi. That’s right. I think we can search the crime scene. Okay. Let’s search the crime scene. We’re shooting a commercial. Don’t film me. I’m about to reveal my true form. What? Ice cubes. Water, ice cubes. He drank poison. It was the fake Dudu poison. How did you figure it out so quickly? People poisoned by it get Dudu lips. Look at his lips. Something’s off. It’s colorless and tasteless. Once it enters the bloodstream, it kills instantly. So that scar on his face… How did he drink it? He had to drink it. Once it enters the bloodstream, it kills instantly. So that scar on his face… What does this puddle of water mean? It’s wet. I think I know. He covered his face with this rag beforehand. He was already poisoned. But it needs to enter the blood to be fatal. He put a bowl there and broke it in advance. He set up a mechanism to make it roll down. Right, then it cut him. Yes. And once there was blood, it was fatal. But there must be some device. That could make it roll down. You have to put yourself in the position of the corpse. To experience the process. Go experience this process. This process. Yeah, right now I… really want to slide down. If I relax now, I’ll roll down. What pushes him, though? I don’t believe it. Relax. You roll. You roll. No, it’s kind of like that feeling. You need some kind of force. to be able to roll down. So, look for something up here. I thought you were going to do that. Push-ups, right? Yeah. I thought so too. Why did he suddenly start doing it here? No, he was standing on top of it. The carpet was pulled. Or maybe there was some kind of mechanism. No, I think I know now. It could be ice. For example, I put it here first. The ice melted at this time. Then he rolled down, right? Would he just lie here waiting for the ice to melt? He was probably drugged. Drugged or something like that. Then it could be this. The ice melted. That’s why there’s so much water. No, that’s it. Ice. It should be. Inside. Probably. That’s so cool. Then that’s it. That’s it. Case solved. Right, this is an ice tray. And then he probably… For example, let’s say… Whatever, I don’t know how he did it. For example, he put a few ice cubes here. He can’t move now. Then once the ice melts… At that moment, he rolls down. It’s possible. Yeah, it’s possible. The ice acts as a delay. So he wouldn’t die at that time. Using ice is definitely certain. It’s certain that ice was used. Yeah. I don’t think ice could hold him back. Let’s keep this question in mind for now. Come on, let’s go check the office. Someone else is… What’s wrong? Serious. What? The first candidate. What? I’m the designated female lead. Stop arguing. You little supporting actor. And you’re putting on airs now, are you? Of course. Stop fighting. Coward These are our character cards, right? Come on, everyone draw one yourself. Just take one, right? I feel like a coward. Melancholy ghost, isn’t that just me? Deadly ghost What does “skin-changing ghost” mean? Playboy ghost Handsome ghost Seriously? Why can’t you take yours out? Impossible. What is it that’s so embarrassing? Today, be X. That really fits his character today. Okay. So many character types. Alright, let’s take them and go. Let’s go check out the office. I like seeing you frown tightly. Calling you a coward. Here we are. Push for ten billion. Assistant director This is the office. Sorry to bother you. So many people. The Billion Push office also has security. Alright, everyone, work’s over. Who are you? You always hide in the back, don’t you? How is your investigation going? We more or less have it figured out. The killer’s method. But there are still a few unresolved questions. We need to check his office now. I have an access card here. I can give it to you. Okay. I can give it to you. Alright, thank you. But this access card only works before 10:30. After 10:30, as you saw, there are two security guards there, right? You’ll have to find a way in. Find a way? What way? I’ll go seduce them. Move aside, the Push Detective is coming. Move aside, the Push Detective is coming. What? Open the door. We’re both Push Detectives. I’m a Push Detective. Big brothers and sisters, Big brothers and sisters, I finally get to see you all. What are you doing? I finally get to see you all. Who is this? I really love you all. What are you doing? Sister. Sister. Sasaeng. I really love you all. I like you all so, so much. Come here. When did you sneak in? I don’t encourage this. How old are you? I’m already an adult. It’s even more wrong to do this as an adult. I just like you all. Like? Do you even know what it means to like someone? True liking is letting go. But I haven’t even had you yet. Keep a normal (distance). Have what? Don’t even think about having us. What are you thinking? What are you up to? Come, let me see. You’re not still stealing things, are you? Let me take a look. Come here. Look, is this yours? That’s not ours. Outstanding Graduate of 2024 Just now, on the red carpet, I took a lot of photos of you. Let me see. Then I couldn’t take any more. That’s why I came in, to take more photos. On the red carpet, she— Did she capture any clues? She probably did. Did she really get something? Why are you so— She definitely doesn’t like me the most. Let’s go. Why are you dragging me away? I want to stay with my brother and sister. Give her back her phone. Give (her) the phone back. My photos! Okay, here you go. Here’s your stuff back. Delete everything from the phone. Take her out. Let’s see if there’s anything else. Check this supply room. There’s some fruit. Eat a banana to get some energy. Smoke bomb. Smoke detectors have been installed in this area. In case of fire, immediately, light the smoke bomb. There are smoke bombs inside. Come in, come in first. This is what’s going to happen soon. After we light the smoke bomb, everyone has to evacuate. Once they’ve all run out, we’ll go back in. Where’s the lighter? It’s here. Hurry, let’s create chaos. Now this job is yours. Metal bucket. The metal bucket is over there. Quick, lift it up. No, it’s too short. Let it sit for a while. What’s going on? The alarm went off. It must be a fire. Everyone, run! Hurry! Faster! Leave in an orderly manner. Let’s go, go. Go. We’re leaving. Hurry up. Let’s evacuate too. Right, there’s water over there. It’s easy to knock over. What’s with the ring? There are so many watches too. Let’s take a watch with us later. Sure. Medical record from Tui City First Hospital Tui Baiyi Medical history: photosensitive epilepsy Patients with this condition, when exposed to strong light will experience five minutes of unconsciousness A five-minute period of unconsciousness Yes, so in daily life, avoid strong light There’s a flashlight Don’t shine it at me Doesn’t he always wear sunglasses? So that’s the five minutes before death Right They started taking photos at 11:25, right? If we were all taking poster photos or something like that Yeah then no one would have used the light to flash at him What kind of outrageous contract is this? Would anyone actually sign this? What? What does that mean? Look. Party A has the right to obtain all of Party B’s profits generated from commercial activities. And according to a ratio of 9.999 for Party A and 0.001 for Party B. So if I make ten thousand yuan, I only get one yuan. This… So they’re all outrageous contracts. Yeah. Little killer. Who’s the little killer? They’re all little killers. Ning Hao. Ke Daole. Canary. At Tuizhen Art Academy. All three of them have killed someone. Yeah. Right. So the three of us are labeled as little killers. So he’s punishing those who have done wrong. A blank contract. What else is there? There are some notes. Like puzzle pieces. Once we figure out these ghosts’ identities, everyone has a name. The Painted Skin Ghost is very famous. Tell me, why are you the Painted Skin Ghost? Because it’s cool. Wait a minute. He has something on one of us. What kind of leverage? These minor things aren’t enough to threaten us. These six rising stars, We can only write a few character profiles to test them. But among them, the one who caused a friend’s death, I’ve got a firm hold on that person. The one who caused a friend’s death? Which of us six has ever caused a friend’s death? Is there something special about the phone? Isn’t there a call log? On his phone, at 10:04, there was an incoming call that lasted thirty seconds. You’re sharp. Voicemail. You have one from April 22, 2025, a voicemail at 9:55. What? The billion-dollar director, the contract you asked me to prepare is already in the office. As long as the secret you have is explosive enough, the deal will definitely go through. They’ll be under your control for life. He used someone else’s secret to sign his own contract. That’s right. There’s one There’s a contract without a signature. It must be the director. After threatening this person, this person had a motive to kill him. It’s not just one. There are six. Prepared for each of us That means he has leverage on all of us Right So the motive for murder is The director threatened him Saying if you don’t sign this contract I’ll expose your involvement in your friend’s death So he killed the director That’s possible So I think we should now go check our own dressing rooms to see if there’s any evidence about causing a friend’s death any facts Okay, Detective Come on, follow me Everyone Let’s first check Bamian Linglong’s dressing room Bamian Linglong Here it is Come on, let’s search There’s a suitcase underneath Really likes crystal slippers They’re all sandals You make shoes Bamian Linglong Where did you get these shoes June 3rd, 2023 Keban Chushen gave me a lot of crystal shoes He really likes me What He likes you? How did he fall for you How would I know I’m just lovable Sparkling and lovable He also gave me a lot of colors. He said I shouldn’t wear the same one every day. I think this way is kind of tacky. But I also think these shoes look really nice. So I accepted them. There’s also a phone. The debt collector sent a text. July 31, 2020. You’re quite vain. Just to attend the Tuishi Film Festival, you couldn’t borrow the latest model from any brand. So you came to us for a loan to buy it outright. We gave you half a month. You had to bring in another person. Get a one-million loan from Gao Lidi. That way, your debt would be cleared. Otherwise, just wait and see. Then, on August 15th, Your friend was really difficult. We beat him up. We also told him he could bring in someone else to help pay off the debt. He wouldn’t give in, no matter what. He even ran away. We waited for him at the foot of the mountain. But then we saw him actually fall off the cliff. You must keep what happened today a secret. After all, his death is also connected to you. If this gets investigated, you won’t get off easy either. Then Ba replied, “I’ll keep my mouth shut.” You have to keep it secret too. If this gets out, my future will be ruined. What? You caused your friend’s death? You’ve caused a friend’s death before? Is she innocent? Such a beautiful face. Such an ugly heart. I was born in 2002. From 2002. This year, from 2002. Yes, in my twenties. Just over twenty. I’m so happy. Then I thought I’ve been pretty good-looking since I was little. People around me all said I was good-looking. Isn’t that right? So I really wanted to become an artist. But because my family’s financial situation wasn’t good, not that good, it wasn’t enough for me to go to school or to have extra money so I could study art. I understand. But because I had some talent, later on, I was admitted to the Academy of Arts. So I came to this school. But I saw that my friends around me were all glamorous and came from wealthy families. But I wasn’t. Then there happened to be an art festival where I needed to borrow a dress. That way, I would have the chance to meet more directors and more producers. I could really shine. That’s right. But since I was just a student and not famous, they wouldn’t rent me a dress. Silly. You’re so beautiful. Why do you need to borrow a dress? You look good in anything. How could you… No, this is a big event. You have to respect the people attending. So I used this Gaolidai to borrow money. And I borrowed two hundred thousand. But before half a month had passed, he told me to pay back five hundred thousand. He said the interest had already reached three hundred thousand. But because I didn’t have any money, then this boss sent me this message. He said he would reveal my secret to every school. He wanted everyone to know. That way, I would have no way to continue being an entertainer. Yes. Then I got really scared. So I followed his instructions and went to Chaojue. I unintentionally revealed some of my wealth. To one of my friends, I told him that recently I had found a way to make money. Then I tricked my friend into going over. He also borrowed money from someone. And the interest kept piling up. The boss also sent him a message. He told him to find someone else too. I understand. But because he really didn’t want to drag anyone else in, he later ran away. Then the boss said he was waiting for him at the bottom of the mountain. No matter what, he would be able to intercept him. Unexpectedly, from that mountain, he accidentally rolled down and died from the fall. It’s okay. You really don’t need to blame yourself. Everyone has their own fate. That was his fate. There’s nothing you can do. What, are you foreshadowing that you’ll hurt your friends later? Setting it up, right? You can’t escape either. You can’t escape either. No, it’s because I’m her assistant. Why? He volunteered himself. He wanted to be my assistant. He was already your assistant at school? Yes. Yes, on September 20, 2020. That was when school started. Then I became friends with someone from the Arts Management Department. Ning Que Wu Lan. We became good friends. Then he said he could be my assistant. He was willing to do anything for me. Yes. Don’t you think that’s strange? He said that to you? I think it’s not that unusual for guys to treat me like that. You’re used to it, huh? I’m used to it. That’s true. I’ve never experienced that. Alright, let’s look at Jin’s. Just say it. Who did you kill? Confess yourself. What? Who did you get killed? Go ahead, take a look. Here’s a phone. Golden reputation. Which one do you want to talk about first? This is a driver’s license. It says “Golden Reputation, Female” on it. But there’s blood on it. There’s another one. This is “Golden Reputation.” A photo with someone from the Koban background. It says “First Love” under this photo. First love. First love. Do you know what first love means to someone? How important it is? It’s like a knife. Ke Wuku. I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. Stop being jealous, okay? Who can guess the password for this box? I can’t guess it. Let me give you a hint. The end of May. You’re a Taurus. Hurry up and unlock it. Let me do it. What’s the password? Answer me. The password is just a random four-digit number. Say it. My birthday. It’s open. This man. Took your glass slipper. Koban, oh Koban. Koban background. Why is my box’s password your birthday? You tell me. The first time. I don’t want to tell my own story myself. I want you to tell it. I once chased fame and fortune. He only gave you one pair. And you even locked them up with a password. Look at this. Don’t you know his family sells plastic slippers? He gives out boxes of them, but you only got one pair. I wear these crystal shoes every day. I wear them in summer, I even wear them in winter. In winter, I treat them like a treasure. What about you? The first time you saw me, you said, “You’re so beautiful.” The nine moles on your face, I wanted to touch every single one. I said okay, I’d give you that chance. And then? I almost twisted my ankle. Slow down. It really hurt. At first, he was the one chasing after you. Yes. He was pursuing me. And then I… I settled and got together with him. I settled and got together with him. You could feel it. He was reaching above his level, yes. Yes. Yes. But later, for some reason, he just… But later, for some reason, he just… He just ignored me. But I loved him very, very much. Because he wasn’t just my secret crush. He was my love. You even wrote a song for me. And that song could only be… listened to if you paid for it. I searched like crazy for it on QQ Music. But I couldn’t find it. Just like your true feelings—I couldn’t find them. After I got together with him, I couldn’t say that I was with him. Because I didn’t know if people would understand me. Because I am… Understand, this kind of understanding. I get it. You’re about to become famous. Yes. And then one day, he became very distant from me. Weren’t you the one who distanced yourself first? He was the one who distanced himself from me. Later, I asked a friend of mine. Later, I asked a friend of mine. His name is Ning Que Wu Lan. He said that’s not real affection. I saw that it’s better to have nothing than to settle. Ba Mian Linglong is so wonderful. I’m good. I’m so envious. Yeah, I also want someone like that. Someone who cares for and looks after me. So later you liked Ning Que Wu Lan again? I didn’t. I didn’t really fall for him. Maybe I was just a bit greedy. A little greedy. Then I made a piece of clothing. On a Valentine’s Day. I made two of that piece. One for my best friend. One for the boy I loved most. Okay. Listen to what she said. Is there a problem with that? Can’t men and women have pure friendship? They can. We are, aren’t we? Yeah. Later, he said he wanted to break up with me. I told him not to break up with me. I told him not to break up with me. Don’t break up with me. Then it seemed like at some occasion like this, right in front of me, he confessed to another woman. He did it to upset me on purpose. You’re nothing more than a tool he used to make me angry. What are you so proud of? Go ahead, keep laughing. You even turned him down. Do you think that by rejecting him I’ll look like a clown? Yes. I’m not angry at all. I really don’t care. It’s obvious. Very calm. I really don’t care. (clenches fist) That’s all. Alright, then let’s look at this phone. WeChat. The first person is called Senior Resource 190. March 20, 2024. Junior, are you free tomorrow night? I have a pretty good script here. I’d like to invite you to play the female lead. And have dinner together as well. Senior, do you trust me that much? I’m just a newcomer, after all. Your three-minute cameo in the new show already moved me to tears. I believe that in the future, you’ll definitely win an Oscar. Best Actress. Senior, you’re such a sweet talker. Then tomorrow, I’ll accompany you, my fan, and have dinner with you. Listen, there’s another one. 185, eight-pack abs. My golden circle princess, want to go to the gym together this weekend? Are your biceps bigger than those from the Koban school? Do your eight-pack abs meet the Koban standard? Of course. Then he sent two muscle photos. Let me see. That hurts. Ke, did you break up with her? Good job breaking up. Yeah. And there’s also a clingy little brother who’s 1.87 meters tall. Sis, you haven’t contacted me for days. Sis, you need to take care of your health. Otherwise, your little brother will feel bad. Alright, since you’re so considerate, I’ll reluctantly agree. But can you sing “Crush or love” for me? Let me hear who sings better, you or Ke from the same class. Who sings it better? To be honest, today is also my first time seeing these things. This was in 2024, we had already broken up. Yes, but this is the reason we broke up. Because you acted like this with other guys before. I wasn’t like this before. I was as pure as a little white rabbit. Alright, next I want to ask you about this bloodstained driver’s license. What does it mean? Who did you kill? Here’s what happened. I always said I wanted to get into Tuiyi University. At that time, the college entrance exam was coming up. Then I met a friend online. I called him my “golden friend.” We chatted online. We promised each other we’d get into college. Later, the day I got in, my dad bought me a luxury car to celebrate. So I took my golden friend up the mountain for a drive, to have some fun. You know that kind of really glamorous lifestyle. Cruising around, right? At first, I was very careful. But then I started driving more boldly. Because I felt like Then suddenly, someone rushed out. There was a bang as we collided. I passed out right away. You hit someone and then you passed out? Yes, I tried to brake suddenly. Then my head hit something. When I woke up again, the car was stopped halfway on a cliff. What was I supposed to do at that moment? All I could do was run. When I got out, I… I heard someone inside calling for help. But I didn’t have time to react. Then the car fell. If I tried to save him, I think I would have been in danger too. Do you agree? Does everyone agree or not? This situation was dangerous. But… I think it’s like this. In such a dangerous moment, we shouldn’t allow moral coercion. Right. Yes. Do you like me? She caused her friend’s death, right? Does that count as me causing it? You were the driver. Reckless driving, that’s the first point. Right. Yes. Wait a minute. Everyone here can criticize me. But you can’t. You can only kiss me. That’s indirect manslaughter. It’s actually a bit direct. Right. I just want to say no one’s hands are cleaner than mine. If you’ve never committed a crime, then throw a stone from the ground at my face. Okay. Next. Come on, let’s see Keke. Come on, Kewuku. There’s this here, press me. Press it. Press. Flashlight. Shine this with it, yes. A keepsake, not to be worn outside. It’s your profile picture. Isn’t this the shirt I gave you? She’s the best. Who’s the best? And you say it’s me. Why do you still have a photo of Bamian Linglong on here? That was close, the sky almost fell. I just have it. Right, didn’t he give you shoes too? Did he give her shoes too? He only gave you one pair. And you even locked it with a password. There’s also a phone. So cute. Jinzi Zhaopai said, “Brother,” I recently had a custom outfit made that would really suit you. I’ll send it to you, just send me your address. And then this— Okay, okay, okay. Tiebushan Summit, Tiebu Community Building 1, Room 101 Who is “Okay, okay, okay”? Super unbelievably handsome. Remember to take a photo. Remember to send me a photo back. I also gave one to my boyfriend. Isn’t that you? I only made two of those outfits. One for my best friend, and one for the guy I love most. So, quality over quantity. So “Okay, okay, okay” is the one, right? Then “Okay, okay, okay” replied, saying, “It’s one thing for you to give him a gift,” “but you even keep it a secret and don’t make it public.” “Even I don’t know who he is.” A secret relationship, you know? Brother My broken heart has been mended again A handsome college guy went shopping with me So you’re hiding it from one person And dating the other person I’m not! He’s just my brother No, we’re just best friends These chat logs don’t look like just friends Of course We’re just pure friends Pure “besties” I’m her “bestie” Yeah Tell me, bro Do you think this counts as just friends? Could you accept this? Honestly If your girlfriend You saw her talking to someone else like this You wouldn’t be able to take it Of course I couldn’t take it I call him brother Of course I couldn’t take it Why are you so petty? You look so generous Could you accept it? Could you accept it? Sis, you’ve already forgotten the pain after healing, huh? Still not breaking up with that jerk? A fickle woman Seriously If you give me another flower, I’ll point at you too Ke Wuku You should confess on your own. I started school in 2020. In 2023, I fell in love at first sight. Then I confessed my feelings to her. After that, the two of us happily got together. Not long after, she told me that someone close to her told her that I wasn’t a good boyfriend. She said she should break up with me. Until one day, I saw her phone. Why did you look at my phone? That really was my fault. But Anyway, I found some chat logs. After I saw them, I was really upset. Then tell me, why are you giving me the silent treatment? You were the one who was being flirtatious first. You manipulate him every day. And you manipulate me too. Then you ask me, why don’t you ever ask me anything? I talk to you every day. Why do you always look so cold? Wait, why are you taking her side? I’m her best friend. He’s just like a brother. We’re girls, you’re a boy. You should take the initiative. We’re girls. You’re a girl. We’re just young girls. You’re a boy, you should make the first move. No. You’re the last person who should be standing here. saying these things to me, okay? The rift between us is because of you. Can you two get back together? It really hurts. Clenched fist. Anyway, after this happened, I found a good friend of mine, named Ke. I told him there was a guy who’s been meddling in things between me and my girlfriend lately. I asked if he could come with me to scare him a bit. And because earlier there was an address in the chat history, I followed that address. Okay. Hidden so well. If it’s not well hidden, how can it be called a secret? USB drive. Alright. What’s inside this? Um… Just plug the USB drive into the computer and you’ll know. There are computers everywhere outside. Come on. Let’s see what’s inside. Let’s go. This is something really scary. A secret that absolutely can’t be discovered. Open it. Three. Two. One. Why isn’t anyone scared? Who is this? Someone dragged a person away. Those two are arguing. They’re fighting. They’re fighting—someone’s trying to break it up. That guy fought back, right? He fought back—one against two. Pushed down the mountain. His friend was killed. You pushed your friend down. Both of them fell down. It was my friend and that guy. The person I was going to scare. The two of them fell down. Didn’t you ask him to come out? Yes, that’s what I wanted to say. That’s it. You’ve been telling me all along. This “alright, alright, alright” is him, right? So now that person… If we assume it’s you, You’re still alive, how is that possible? That’s right. I came back today to take your life. Didn’t you see how ghostly I’m dressed? I’m that dead guy. The last one is the most exciting. Being picky is definitely intense. You’re the center of the storm. “Alright, alright, alright,” right? You keep telling her to break up every day. What’s your real intention? Now I know where you live. Just wait. I’ll bring people to your place in an hour to deal with you. If you’re a man, don’t run. If you dare run once, I’ll come beat you up ten times a day from now on. You talk big. You’re not even the one hitting, you just stand by and watch. So he really did send the message to you. You are, you really are. That “alright, alright, alright” guy. So many things. What? I like you. So that’s how it is. Aren’t we friends? Aren’t we friends? You’ve been by my side for so many years as a friend. Listen to Baba. Listen to what Baba says. Don’t let her get hurt. Let me try once. Listen to what Baba says. Don’t let her get hurt. Whatever Baba says goes. Take good care of her. Protect her. It has that folk song vibe. Yes. From the northeast. This is all her, too. Really. In his eyes, it’s all about her. Baby. All I see, all I feel, is that what you long for but can’t have is the hardest to let go. If I say I truly love you, who will mend the friendships that get broken? This box holds my lonely secrets. Loving you is a lonely secret. So romantic. I’m her assistant. And sometimes, when it rains, I hold an umbrella for her. But at that moment, I just I can hold a bit of it too. This is the umbrella we used together. I can hold a bit of it too. So when we share the umbrella, you can stand very close together. Yes, that’s right. After that, I started looking forward to rainy days. Not me, it’s him. Yes. You rascal. There’s also a key here. This shirt looks great on you. That’s because people are looking at her face, not the shirt. And my face makes her face look even better. Right. It’s open. Sorry. But I can’t let anyone know about this. Otherwise, I won’t be able to stay by her side. It’s the little yellow hat, the one from before. Little yellow hat. He had Little Yellow Hat take his place. That’s how it was. I also got admitted in 2020 to our Performing Arts program. On the first day of school, I saw a very, very beautiful girl on the playground. I fell in love with her at first sight. I developed feelings for her. But I was afraid of being rejected. So I worked by her side as an assistant. I stayed close to her. One day, I suddenly got a message. Her boyfriend— her boyfriend was coming to beat me up. How pathetic. That tall guy said he was going to beat me up. Now that’s a coward. What did I ever do to deserve this? I’m just a male best friend. I’m just a male best friend. So at that moment, I just… I sent your good friend. That’s right, called Ning Friend. Anyway, your boyfriend doesn’t know me. So I invited this friend over. I went to watch a movie. After I came back from the movie, I found my door had been broken open. I figured it must have been your boyfriend. Your boyfriend came. So I started looking everywhere. Right at our door, there was an old man out for a walk. I asked him if he had seen my friend or a group of people fighting. He said he saw some people fighting. It looked like they fought all the way to the edge of the Tiebu Mountain cliff. So I ran to the edge of the cliff to check. There was no one there. Then I ran to the bottom of the cliff. I found a broken phone. It was my friend’s phone. He’s the one with the little yellow hat. Wait, so you only found the phone at the bottom of the cliff? You didn’t see anyone? No. These little secrets aren’t enough to threaten these six rising stars. So they must have been taken away by Baiyi. You mean Baiyi was down there and rescued those people? He saved all our friends. He was so busy that night. He saved so many people. Was it the same day for us? Mine was August 15th. Mine was August 15th too. You two, on the same day I hit your friend I hit your friend Yes It was the two of us working together who caused your friend’s death The two of you worked together to harm your own friend to harm your own friend and killed them together That’s right Now it’s all clear Everyone has been discovered by the billionaire boss who found out they committed murder and is possibly holding this murder over them Yes No one’s hands are clean Everyone has killed their own friend So anyone could be threatened by the billionaire And then commit murder Yes Let’s summarize. Go ahead. Let’s have a summary discussion. Okay. I think we should first determine his time of death and the possible time of the crime. Let’s identify that time frame first. Time of death. Wasn’t it 11:36? That’s right, 11:36. And there was a five-minute period of unconsciousness. Wasn’t there a strong light shining into his eyes? I remember there’s a lamp in our props room. Don’t shine it at me. So he lost consciousness at 11:31. At that time, everyone should have been taking poster photos and doing group interviews. Right. If we were all taking poster photos or something like that, Right. then no one could have used the lamp to flash him. Let’s go over the timeline. Let’s start from the very beginning. We saw Tui Baiyi. Red carpet at 10:30, right. Free time at 11:00. Everyone returned to their own lounge. Right. Then at 11:25 we started taking photos, right? So from 11:00 to 11:25, what was everyone doing? I’m helping Ba. find a location to shoot a rustic-style video. So you could be anywhere in this place. You could show up anywhere. Then you found that storage room. And then you wanted to kill someone, right? That means there was no one who could vouch for you, right? Okay, Jin. Who? Jin? I… I had diarrhea. You were in there for twenty-five minutes? You spent the whole time in the bathroom? Yes, in the restroom. I kept going. Can’t it last twenty-five minutes? Ba. I was really hungry at the time. So I went to the supply room. The place where the snacks are kept. I ate for twenty-five minutes. Ke. I was touching up my makeup in the break room. Then at 11:25, the six of us gathered together. Then we went to take photos and do interviews. During that time, all six of us were together. So it could only be during this period of time that the crime could have happened. That’s right. The unconsciousness lasted five minutes. Five minutes. Exposed to strong light. Then he died. That’s a pretty impressive method. If he wants to extend this time, then when he wakes up, shake him a bit. Shake him when he wakes up. Shake him when he wakes up. Just keep him under control. It’s not impossible. No, wouldn’t that be even harder? It’s already hard to shake him once. If you keep shaking for five minutes, you can extend the time. Overnight package. Add five yuan for a little extra time. Just woke up. I think this person must know him very well. Otherwise, how would they know he has this illness? This person must have been to his office. Diagnosis report. The medical records are there. Right. If it’s about the office, it’s you again, darling. It’s very close to the boss’s office. Can’t get into the office. Look, after ten o’clock there’s someone guarding his office. After ten thirty you also saw there are two security guards there. Right? You have to find a way to get in. Yeah, how do I get in? I don’t even have a card. What time was the contract placed in his office? April 22nd, 9:55. April 22nd. A voicemail at 9:55. The billionaire director. The contract you asked me to prepare has already been placed in the office. As long as the secret you have is explosive enough, the deal will definitely go through. He could be under your control for life. It must be this director. After threatening this person, this person had a motive to kill him. That means the killer at 9:55 was probably right in that office and heard that voicemail. That paper was torn off after 9:55. It was torn off. Right. Seeing this thing at 9:55 actually triggered the motive for murder. It’s a turning point, isn’t it? Yes. So before 9:55, he actually shouldn’t have wanted to kill this person. He shouldn’t have wanted to kill. So why would he specifically go to this person’s office? Maybe he went to the bathroom. Maybe he overheard something at the bathroom door. Maybe that bathroom is connected. That could be possible. Or maybe it wasn’t handled well at all. True. Don’t talk about my artist like that. What she said makes sense. You just happened to have diarrhea in the bathroom. Don’t say that. Through the flushing pipes, you could listen while going. What kind of sounds? There are a lot of pipes in the bathroom. The pipes are very sensitive. Right. Isn’t that so? I was from eleven to eleven twenty-five having diarrhea. Yes, that’s true. Then there’s a possibility that this person went to the office before ten o’clock. It’s that simple. Yes. I know. It has to be before the red carpet starts. Our time is from nine thirty to ten thirty. During this time, everyone is free. We were doing hair and makeup. Yes. Yes, all of us were here doing hair and makeup. So you can all vouch for each other. No, because the curtain was drawn. This is my first time meeting him. I was already chosen by him. He personally selected me as the actress. Then you’re the most likely to have entered his office. But I was invited here by him. That means he trusts you a lot. You must go into his office quite often. No. I hadn’t met him before. Never met him. First time working together and— He picked you as the lead actress. Yes. Because I act very well. It can’t be your first time meeting him. I think it really is my first time meeting him. What about you? It’s my first time too. You met him before, right? I filmed before. But I haven’t worked with him. She’s the one who’s worked with him. But I was her assistant. Then you two are very suspicious. Maybe the assistant wanted to ask the famous director, since all the big names are here, does our artist still have a chance? You wanted to go at 9:30 to help her out a bit. Knock, the door opens— What? There’s some dirt. Murder for love. The clever you saw it, your eyes flashed, and you planned everything in just five minutes. Why do you seem a bit nervous? You seem a bit uncomfortable, I feel like you— I really think you’re both nervous and uncomfortable. Okay. Wait a second. Is he a bit uncomfortable? Hold on. No, you know, from my angle— I can see this side of his face. The veins on this side are bulging. Who would have thought the billion-dollar director— During work hours today— This person is the killer. The six-character profile cards— have always been kept in his office. No one has seen them. We haven’t seen this paper. He only gave it to us for auditioning. There’s no “Death Demon” in this. So that information is fake. Then tricked him into that room. Someone used the “Death Demon” entry— and switched it. The one who switched it is the killer. What does he want to do? He wants you to kill someone. Wait, why did this water turn black? Maybe there’s poison in here. Maybe it’s that poison. The bowl didn’t turn black. The face turned black. His whole face—he must have covered his face with it. A girl definitely couldn’t do this. So this mechanism— must create an alibi for him. What I’m trying to say is— This is way too much of a coincidence. It really seems like the work of an instigator. Hello Someone called to buy. And another person called to ask. The first one bought, the second one asked. This inquirer is the only one with a god’s-eye view. Why did the inquirer send the underling to kill? I think he probably doesn’t know who it is. Then there’s another question. We’re all actors. We want to be in this director’s play. Does he really want to kill the boss, or does he want to avenge his friend? That would be killing two birds with one stone. So actually, the real murderer the one we’re looking for is the instigator. No. I still want to find the perpetrator. If I taught you, wouldn’t I still be considered a murderer? I think your logic is too weak. Actually, having two murderers also makes sense. So how do we vote? Who do we vote for?
