In Thailand's Chinatown, pedestrians were walking around in confusion when a man suddenly began attacking people and cars around him, seemingly out of control. He even bit some of the people around him, as if he had lost his mind. The police could not control him, and eventually, they were forced to shoot him, and he fell to the ground.

Lu Fengping was watching a video on his phone about Thailand's Chinatown when the man fell to the ground. He asked the driver how much further they had to go to their destination, and upon seeing that they had three kilometers to go, he got out of the car and headed towards the scene, despite the driver's protests.

Meanwhile, at a hypnosis seminar in Longzhou City, Professor Ling Mingding, an authority in the hypnosis industry, was watching the same video. He explained that the incident happened last month and that the perpetrator had exhibited no signs of abnormal behavior the day before the attack. According to local customs, some suspected that he had been cursed, but some psychological experts believed that he might have been hypnotized. Suddenly, Lu Fengping interrupted the professor's speech and began discussing the incident with him, drawing praise from the professor.

At the scene of another incident, Luo Fei arrived to find a Golden Retriever that had fallen from a building. He scolded Liang Yin for not following orders but then learned from her that the victim was Zhao Lili, a 21-year-old model who was found dead in her bathtub. While dispatching an officer to gather more information, Luo Fei went to the victim's side.

Luo Fei was the first to notice the smell of sulfur dioxide emanating from the scene. He conducted a thorough investigation of the scene, and Liu Dongping also reported the entire process of the discoverer finding the victim. Based on the situation at the scene, Liu Dongping suspected that the case was similar to the method used by a previous boyfriend to put his girlfriend into a coma using ether. After summarizing all the information, Luo Fei instantly came to the conclusion that this was a locked room and there was no killer!

After coming out, Luo Fei found Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu took out the ingredients of the hallucinogen found in the perpetrator of the zombie case released by the Thai police, and stated that after comparing it with the hallucinogen left at the scene of the 2008 Yang County murder case, it was not the same type. After listening, Luo Fei asked if he was sure, and Zhang Yu said that he had checked it for ten years and there could be no mistake, and reassured Luo Fei that they would find the culprit!

Meanwhile, the seminar had also ended, and Professor Ling introduced Lu Fengping to the chief of the Longzhou Public Security Bureau, Director Lu. After returning home, Lu Fengping looked at Luo Fei's photo in the news and recalled a week ago when a stranger had asked to meet him and told him that someone had information about the 2008 murder case. Lu Fengping was lost in thought.

Luo Fei and his team worked overnight to investigate information related to the Zhao Lili case, ultimately locking in her ex-boyfriend Yao Shuhan, who had sent her a package that day, and Xiao Xifeng, who had entered Zhao Lili's living room! The next day, Luo Fei planned to visit Xiao Xifeng's house with Liu Dongping, but Liang Yin was very eager to go, so she and Liu Dongping teamed up and managed to get the opportunity to visit with Team Leader Luo.

The two of them went to Xiao Xifeng's house, and asked as usual about their relationship and the location of their daily psychological therapy. Xiao Xifeng calmly answered, even providing an alibi for the time of the crime, perfectly answering Liang Yin's questions. After returning, Luo Fei reported the situation to Lu Bureau, stating that Xiao Xifeng's answer was too calm and even gave a feeling of being prepared in advance, which was very suspicious. Lu Bureau said he had contacted Professor Ling, but he was a bit busy and would introduce someone else to help solve the case.

Luo Fei met with Zhang Yu for a meal, and while they were eating, they received a notification from Lu Bureau that Lu Fengping had been introduced as a consultant. Lu Fengping then added Luo Fei on WeChat and invited him to dinner. After a brief chat, Luo Fei bluntly proposed to work as a consultant to help solve the case, but asked Lu Fengping to tell him the clue found in the broken factory in Yang County in 2008!

It turned out that the person who had clues mentioned in the unknown phone call was Luo Fei. The speech at the seminar and the opportunity to become a consultant were all ways for Lu Fengping to get closer to Luo Fei. On this night, Luo Fei received a call from Zhang Yu, saying that the hallucinogen found at the scene of Zhao Lili's case matched the hallucinogen found at the scene of the Yang County case in 2008 with a high degree of 99%! Both of them had a hard time falling asleep that night.

In the evening, Luo Fei went to Zhao Lili's house to review the case. He even lay in the bathtub to imagine his state of mind at that time, and was so immersed in it that he suddenly woke up when he recalled the scene of his conversation with Lu Fengping.

Lu Fengping's days were very comfortable. He chatted with Zhou Yi, the fruit seller at the intersection, and used hypnotic techniques to help her improve her sales performance. He then exchanged the fruits given by Zhou Yi for lollipops with the supermarket uncle, and promised to help the uncle matchmake with Zhou Yi. However, Luo Fei's days were not so good. He and Liang Yin investigated Yao Shuhan together. Yao Shuhan seemed to know their intentions and spoke ill of Zhao Lili, showing little sympathy for her in his words. When Liang Yin asked him about the parcel that Zhao Lili received from him an hour before her death, she handed him the express delivery slip, but Yao Shuhan denied sending it and accepted Liang Yin's request to verify the handwriting. Afterwards, the two of them left. On their way back, Luo Fei instructed Liang Yin that the suspicion of Yao Shuhan had not been cleared and asked Liu Dongping to monitor Yao Shuhan's house and record the people who entered and exited.

Yao Shuhan got off the car in a drunken state, and someone seemed to shout "Yao Shuhan". After returning home, Yao Shuhan received a call from a friend asking if he had arrived home safely, but he didn't answer. He looked at the woman sitting on the bed and didn't have time to care about the concern on the other end of the phone. After a while, Yao Shuhan realized that the woman was actually Fang Lei! Yao Shuhan attacked the woman like crazy and the two of them fought. After a long time, Yao Shuhan was exhausted and his phone fell to the ground.

Luo Fei and Liang Yin were still working overtime. Luo Fei was eating instant noodles and looking at the photos of the people entering and leaving Yao Shuhan's home that Xiaoliu had sent. The photos were not very clear, but Luo Fei still noticed a delivery man carrying a large package appearing in several photos. With his sharp instincts, Luo Fei instantly sensed that something was off and immediately called Xiaoliu to find out the time when the delivery man entered and left, and asked Xiaoliu to go in and investigate the situation right away!

The next morning, Luo Fei and his team arrived at Yao Shuhan's home, only to find that he had already passed away. There was also a dummy that had been beaten on the scene. Luo Fei looked through Yao Shuhan's chat records and found that the last call was from someone named Huang Mao. Based on Zhang Yu's simple judgment of Yao Shuhan's condition, it was highly likely that he had died from cyanide poisoning, and there were also wounds on his joints, indicating that there may have been a fight with the dummy, which had many poisonous thorns on it. Yao Shuhan was likely to have been fatally poisoned by the thorns after fighting with the dummy, but further analysis was needed to come to a more conclusive conclusion.

Lu Fengping received another phone call from an unknown person who still didn't reveal any information about their identity, which puzzled him. After leaving Yao Shuhan's house, Luo Fei arranged for Xiao Liu to investigate Huang Mao and instructed Zhang Yu to perform a special test to see if Yao Shuhan had taken any hallucinogens. There was a strong possibility that Yao Shuhan and Zhao Lili had been in a romantic relationship. Later, Liang Yin called and reported that she had been to the courier company and found out that the information on the delivery order was fake, and all the delivery personnel had alibis. It was likely that the perpetrator had fabricated the information, but Luo Fei was reluctant to let Liang Yin take too many field assignments for fear of danger. However, Liang Yin did not listen to him and actively participated in the investigation.

Xiao Liu has found Huang Mao and after some questioning, he found out that Huang Mao drank with Yao Shuhan that night and called him to ask if he had arrived home. Huang Mao also mentioned hearing Yao Shuhan calling out Fang Lei's name and some fighting sounds, but he didn't hear Fang Lei's voice. In the end, Luo Fei concluded that Huang Mao had no suspicion of murder and let him go. He then sent Liang Yin to investigate Fang Lei and postponed the meeting until later.

Xiao Liu also presented the information that Luo Fei previously requested to investigate about Lu Fengping. The most striking thing is that Lu Fengping's father, Lu Hai, had been imprisoned for domestic violence due to alcoholism, and later divorced Lu Fengping's mother, Deng Yan, who was actually the victim of the 2008 Yangxian murder case! Liang Yin also investigated and found out that Fang Lei was the woman whom Yao Shuhan had previously drugged. After Fang Lei reported him to the police, Yao Shuhan was sent to prison. Fang Lei later suffered from depression and committed suicide. Moreover, the black high heels and red dress she wore matched the disguise of the fake corpse at the crime scene!

Lu Bureau held a meeting and stated that the cases of Zhao Lili and Yao Shuhan have had a serious impact on the city. The Public Security Bureau has decided to establish a 615 task force, with Lu as the leader and Luo Fei as the deputy leader. The task force will also include computer expert Xue Bing, Wang Jing who has many years of field experience, as well as Xiao Qiao and Xiao Sun as members. An office has also been assigned to the task force, although it is a bit old and the team had to spend a long time cleaning it up.

Lu Fengping was not idle either. He tried to sneak into the Public Security Bureau but was stopped by the security guards. Fortunately, Luo Fei appeared in time and took him into the bureau. Lu Fengping brought up the same condition again, asking if the consultant could be consulted to find out why the two deceased were hypnotized. Luo Fei did not deny it and even took him to the office of the task force. In the evening, Zhang Yu invited everyone to dinner, but Luo Fei and Liang Yin left early. Lu Fengping shamelessly followed them and went with them to see Liang Yin home. After that, Luo Fei left Lu Fengping and just asked him how long it would take to find out why the two were hypnotized. Lu Fengping smiled faintly and went back to start the investigation. Meanwhile, Luo Fei was also busy investigating the case-related clues.

The members of the special task force in the office gathered to sort out the ideas of the two cases. Zhang Yu said that after a detailed inspection, Yao Shuhan's cause of death was consistent with the speculation made by Zhang Yu and Luo Fei at the scene. Moreover, according to Luo Fei's hint, hallucinogens were indeed found in Yao Shuhan's nasal cavity, which was consistent with what was found in Zhao Lili's body!

After reviewing the case, everyone had a good understanding of it. At this time, Liang Yin raised a question: why did Yao Shuhan mistake the mannequin for Fang Lei? Everyone thought that hallucinogens alone could not achieve this effect. Luo Fei said that they needed to go to Yao Shuhan's home again! Then, Luo Fei and Liu Dongping went to Yao Shuhan's home together. They found a courier note at the door. Luo Fei looked at the sender on the courier note - Li Xiaogang - and immediately realized that the killer's next target was Li Xiaogang. This was because Zhao Lili had also received a courier package from Li Xiaogang one hour before her death. He immediately alerted everyone to take action!

Immediately, they started investigating Li Xiaogang. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaogang had gone out to deliver dog food. They saw Li Xiaogang walking towards the old city on the surveillance video. They also found a suspicious courier in the surveillance video. While driving to find Li Xiaogang, Luo Fei saw a person dressed similarly to the courier in the surveillance video. He immediately chased after the person, who also ran away. This aroused Luo Fei's suspicion even more. Finally, Luo Fei captured the person, who confessed that he had stolen a car. Luo Fei realized that he had caught the wrong person! Based on the judgment of whether there were traces on the road and the direction of the pet dog on the road, Luo Fei quickly locked onto the direction of Li Xiaogang, who was pulling a dog food cart.

On the other side, Li Xiaogang arrived at his destination. When he went in to unload the dog food, he found that the door he had just opened had been closed! Turning around, someone was calling his name. He seemed to see a figure, and then he was attracted to a device with many hundred-yuan bills floating inside. Li Xiaogang was overjoyed and even climbed up the device to get more money!

Finally, Luo Fei arrived. Seeing a little dog wandering around the door, Luo Fei was sure that he had found the place. Luo Fei opened the door and saw Li Xiaogang lying in the device. After judging that Li Xiaogang had multiple scratches but was still alive, Liu Dongping immediately called for an ambulance.

Everyone conducted a series of inspections at the scene, and Liang Yin said that they did not find the delivery order at the scene. Luo Fei looked at the underworld money inside the device and fell into contemplation, seeming to see Li Xiaogang inside the device. After investigation, it was found that Li Xiaogang had been under great financial pressure recently, but everyone believed that he would not mistake the underworld money. Luo Fei thought that Li Xiaogang did not know that it was underworld money and believed it was a hypnotic murder case!

Meanwhile, Lu Fengping was still in a dream, recalling the time when he was bullied by his classmates when he was a child. His mother comforted him and told him he could eat lollipops when he was sad. The scene was very warm, but he woke up only after the uncle at the door of the supermarket kept shouting. Lu Fengping went to the uncle's supermarket to have breakfast. The uncle asked about Lu Fengping's recent state, and Lu Fengping jokingly talked about the relationship between the uncle and Zhou Yi. They bantered with each other.

Luo Fei and Xiao Liu went to the hospital. According to the doctor's diagnosis, Li Xiaogang had become a vegetative person and could not provide more clues to the case. Luo Fei and Xiao Liu had to return to the team. That night, they worked overtime with Liang Yin to analyze the three cases, hoping to find a common point among them. After thinking for a long time, they came up with one point: "Initiative." All three of them were proactive! At this time, Liang Yin's stomach grumbled, and Zhang Yu happened to bring food and check reports. It turned out that Li Xiaogang also had a hallucinogenic drug in his body, and the ingredient was consistent with the first two cases! This was the second common point! Luo Fei thought about it and got up to leave.

Luo Fei came to Lu Fengping's home, asking about his progress and bringing clues about the hallucinogenic drug found in the three people's bodies. They reasoned together. The logical diagram on the blackboard was erased and redrawn many times until they finally made progress. All three people had their own desires. Based on this, Lu Fengping continued to deduce: Zhao Lili brought a whitening device to the beauty salon on the day of the incident, but the device had already been replaced. Under the influence of hallucinogens and hypnosis, she did not feel any pain. Yao Shuhan and Li Xiaogang were also victims under the influence of hallucinogens and hypnosis, unconscious and unaware of the pain!

The two of them arrived at the office, and Lu Fengping shared his findings. Based on this, everyone made further inferences, and the case became clearer and clearer. Lu Fengping once again asked Luo Fei for clues about the 2008 Yang County murder case. Luo Fei told him that the case was related to the current three cases and hoped that Lu Fengping would continue to help solve the case.

Lu Fengping finally agreed and signed the contract! But Luo Fei asked why Lu Fengping knew there was a clue here, and Lu Fengping couldn't give an answer. On the other hand, Luo Fei received a phone call saying that another delivery order had appeared!

After receiving a call from Xiao Liu, Luo Fei quickly rushed to the hospital. Xiao Liu explained that the package was discovered by a nurse, addressed to Li Xiaogang and sent by Lin Ruilin, with the delivery address being the Jinxiu restaurant. The package contained funeral money! Luo Fei exclaimed, "The challenge has already arrived," and immediately took Xiao Liu to the Jinxiu restaurant.

On the way, Xiao Liu couldn't reach Lin Ruilin and wondered why he would use a delivery slip to declare war. Was it for revenge? Xiao Liu even mentioned the case of a serial killer abroad who left clues on mirrors or voluntarily sent them to the police station. Luo Fei explained that those were random crimes, but what they encountered was a specific crime. The delivery slip connected several victims, with each victim sending it to the next victim. The delivery slip was like a death notice! If they couldn't stop it in time, the killer would stop after achieving their goal, making it more difficult to solve the case.

Luo Fei and Xiao Liu arrived at the Jinxiu restaurant, where Lin Ruilin seemed to be acting normally, chatting with guests. After Luo Fei explained the situation, Lin Ruilin arranged for a private room and a table of food. Luo Fei carefully observed Lin Ruilin's every move as he ate and drank. Luo Fei showed him pictures of three victims and asked if he knew them, all while observing his reactions. When shown Li Xiaogang's picture, Lin Ruilin's condition worsened, sweating profusely, and eventually collapsing on the table.

Everyone had to send him to the hospital. Xiao Liu was surprised by how much Lin Ruilin ate, even suspecting that he had bulimia! The nurse explained that Lin Ruilin had only suffered from a stomach bleed and alcohol poisoning, with no danger to his life. He just needed to watch his diet and would recover quickly. This nurse had previously encountered a patient dispute, and Luo Fei had helped her. After explaining Lin Ruilin's condition, the nurse specially thanked Luo Fei for his help last time.

Later on, Luo Fei, Xiao Liu, and Wang Jing entered the hospital room where Lin Ruilin was constantly clamoring for food. Lin Ruilin became a bit calmer when he saw someone enter. Luo Fei asked Lin Ruilin how he knew Li Xiaogang. Lin Ruilin recalled that he had a batch of dogs to sell and Li Xiaogang's men intercepted his truck on the way, suspecting that there were dogs in his vehicle. It was only through the coordination of traffic police that the situation was resolved. Lin Ruilin also said that he did not know Zhao Lili and Yao Shuhan.

Back at the office, they discovered that the Golden Retriever downstairs from Zhao Lili's apartment was given by Yao Shuhan. Zhao Lili had also previously owned a dog that had passed away. They suspected that the connection between the victims might be related to the dog interception incident. They traced the traffic police from back then and the whereabouts of the dogs. The team split up to investigate the leads.

Lu Fengping came to the office again and showed off his credentials to the security guard. When he entered the office, it was empty. He was about to go into Luo Fei's office when Luo Fei suddenly appeared behind him and took him to meet Professor Ling. They also met Lu Fengping's senior brother, Xiao Xifeng, and Xia Mengyao, the nurse whom Luo Fei had met at the hospital before. Xia Mengyao was Professor Ling's new apprentice, and with his help, Luo Fei obtained a list of potential candidates who could perform such a complex hypnosis formula.

Liang Yin arrived at the rescue station and met with participants from the incident years ago. She learned that Zhao Lili and Yao Shuhan had also come to the scene to look for their own dogs, and that Li Xiaogang took advantage of the situation to raise the price of dog food. In the hospital, a nurse brought food to Lin Ruilin, but he refused to eat it and demanded pork knuckle. He even knocked over the food!

After analyzing clues from multiple sources and working overtime, the group arranged to meet with Zhu Sijun, a police officer who participated in the entire dog-catching incident. The next day, Luo Fei and Lu Fengping went to Zhu Sijun's house. According to his recollection, Li Xiaogang wanted to buy Lin Ruilin's dog, but Lin initially refused. Eventually, he gave in under pressure, and Zhu Sijun said that the matter was resolved through negotiation. Luo Fei also showed Zhu Sijun a photo of Zhao Lili and Yao Shuhan and asked if he recognized them. Zhu immediately remembered that they had also come to the scene to look for their dog and left soon after. After they left, Lu Fengping suspected that Zhu Sijun was hiding something and found him suspicious, but Luo Fei ignored his doubts and thought about something else. Under Lu Fengping's questioning, Luo Fei finally realized that they had overlooked a person named Tu Liansheng. They then arranged for Xiao Liu to investigate Tu Liansheng, and the investigation by Xiao Xifeng did not stop.

The two then went to the hospital to find Lin Ruilin. This time, they discovered a clue about Tu Liansheng. Lin Ruilin also mentioned that he did not pay Tu Liansheng for his services at the time. Suddenly, Xiao Liu burst in with news that Tu Liansheng had recently committed suicide, and that Xiao Xifeng was the inheritor of Tu's estate!

Xiao Xifeng picked up the delivery box on the ground and took out the items inside one by one: an unknown liquid, a mask, and a white coat. He then sat down at the table, recorded the information of the first three cases in his notebook, and wrote down Lin Ruilin's name at the end. Immediately afterwards, he tore up what he had just written, took out a photo, and reminisced about the good times he had with Tu Liansheng a long time ago. He had given Tu Liansheng a new hat and the two had taken this photo together. Xiao Xifeng then burned the photo and the torn paper and threw them both in the trash can.

Luo Fei recalled the recent clues and linked them to the name Tu Liansheng, whom he had seen during his visit to Xiao Xifeng. Luo Fei couldn't figure out why the two had a connection, and what their relationship was. Meanwhile, Lu Fengping was not idle either. He called Professor Ling to inquire about Xiao Xifeng's recent situation and learned that Xiao had been depressed for a while because a close friend had passed away. That friend was Tu Liansheng. To commemorate him, Xiao Xifeng had even published a novel online! Lu Fengping immediately passed on the news to Luo Fei, and everything suddenly made sense.

Lu Fengping found Luo Fei and believed that Tu Liansheng's death was related to the incident where he stopped a car to save a dog, and that Xiao Xifeng's motive for murder was to avenge Tu Liansheng. After speaking, Lu Fengping asked Luo Fei for the clues of the case from back then. However, Luo Fei said that it was just speculation and the case was still unsolved. Luo Fei also questioned how Lu Fengping knew he had the clues, but Lu Fengping did not give a straightforward answer. The two argued endlessly, and all of this was overheard by Liang Yin passing by downstairs. Suddenly, Luo Fei received a call from Xiao Qiao, saying that Xiao Xifeng had left the house. Luo Fei instructed Xiao Qiao to keep an eye on him and then left himself, leaving Lu Fengping alone on the spot.

As soon as Xiao Xifeng stepped out, he saw a group of children fighting, which reminded him of the scene where he stood up for Tu Liansheng when he was bullied as a child. He turned and noticed Xiao Qiao, who was tailing him, and approached her with a smile. Luo Fei and his group finally arrived, but by the time they got there, Xiao Qiao had already fainted. After making arrangements for her, they entered Xiao Xifeng's house to look for clues. Luo Fei noticed the burnt pieces of paper in the trash can and immediately realized something. They searched through Xiao Xifeng's notebook and found the torn one. Using a flashlight, they examined the imprint and learned that Xiao Xifeng's target was Lin Ruilin!

Xiao Liu immediately went to the hospital and called Wang Jing, who was on duty there. Unfortunately, Wang Jing's phone ran out of battery and the message couldn't be delivered. At this time, Xiao Xifeng had already disguised himself as a doctor and entered Lin Ruilin's ward. Finally, Wang Jing answered the phone and rushed to the ward, stopping Xiao Xifeng. Xiao Xifeng immediately ran outside and ran into Xiao Liu, who had just arrived at the hospital, at the elevator. Finally, Xiao Xifeng was arrested.

Luo Fei interrogated Xiao Xifeng and applied for permission for Lu Fengping to participate in the interrogation. Xiao Xifeng admitted directly that he was going to kill Lin Ruilin. Then Luo Fei asked where Xiao Xifeng was on the afternoon of Zhao Lili's death. Xiao Xifeng said he did buy a boat ticket, but he didn't board the boat. Instead, he went to Zhao Lili's house and then took a car to Lingbei before taking a boat back. He only dressed up as a courier to avoid surveillance and claimed that he found the hallucinogen by chance. When asked about Yao Shuhan and Li Xiaogang, Xiao Xifeng admitted that he had spent several months investigating them. Both victims heard Xiao Xifeng's voice, so it was easy to catch their desire. Perhaps he used such a complex method to demonstrate his professional abilities.

Then Luo Fei asked about his relationship with Tu Liansheng. Xiao Xifeng said that few people were willing to listen to Tu Liansheng's story, and he fell into reminiscence. During their high school years, Tu Liansheng was bullied by classmates because of the scars on his face. Xiao Xifeng saw the injustice and helped Tu Liansheng. Tu Liansheng remembered this and voluntarily brought meals to Xiao Xifeng. They became good friends and helped each other. However, after the incident of blocking the car to save the dog, Tu Liansheng was completely ruined. According to Xiao Xifeng's recollection, when the traffic police left, Lin Ruilin also left. Not only did he not pay Tu Liansheng's fare, but he also left Tu Liansheng alone and asked Tu Liansheng to apologize by kneeling down to appease his girlfriend, Zhao Lili. Tu Liansheng explained that he was just a driver, but he was not understood. In the end, Tu Liansheng knelt down and apologized, which caused him great shame. This incident completely shattered Tu Liansheng's self-esteem and destroyed his values. Xiao Xifeng tried to help Tu Liansheng, but it was not very effective. Tu Liansheng later asked for compensation from Lin Ruilin and Li Xiaogang, but he received more humiliation instead. Finally, Tu Liansheng couldn't bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide. Xiao Xifeng said that his first thought was to avenge Tu Liansheng and expressed regret that Lin Ruilin did not die.

After reviewing Xiao Xifeng's case, everyone gathered to discuss. When asked why he chose such a complicated method of murder, Xiao Xifeng's response was not straightforward. His answers about the hallucinogen were also unclear. During questioning about his accomplices, Liu Fengping noticed a hint of confusion in Xiao Xifeng's response. In addition, much of the information did not match up. The methods of murder written in Xiao Xifeng's notebook did not match those he actually used. Once again, the group was stuck, unable to find the problem. Seeing the reminder on his phone about Aunt Deng's anniversary of passing, Luo Fei's mood became even heavier.

The next morning, as in previous years, Luo Fei went to the flower shop early to buy flowers. Later, Liu Fengping also went to the same flower shop to buy flowers. They arrived at the cemetery one after the other. From a distance, Liu Fengping watched as Luo Fei swept his mother's grave and seemed to understand something. In the hospital, an aunt was shouting that she was going to die. Xia Nurse went to find the doctor and met Xiao Liu, who came to visit Lin Ruilin. Xia Nurse was asked about Lin Ruilin's condition, but they did not notice that Lin Ruilin inside the hospital room was looking out the window, lost in thought.

Through in-depth investigation, it was discovered that Xiao Xifeng had bought a boat ticket and boarded the ship that day, providing an alibi. Luo Fei calmly analyzed that Xiao Xifeng intentionally made everyone think he was the killer by revealing the fake murder plan in his notebook. This was an irrational action because it was a last-minute fake plan he had come up with. Xiao Xifeng recalled a stranger who had called him and sent him some photos. The group concluded that Xiao Xifeng must have had an accomplice, and his goal was to divert attention and buy time. Luo Fei immediately had Liang Yin call Xiao Liu, who thought that Lin Ruilin had been in the hospital room the whole time, but they did not realize that Lin Ruilin had already escaped through the window!

Lin Ruilin hurriedly walked and suddenly someone stopped him. That person was also dressed as a courier. It's unclear what happened, but Lin Ruilin dropped his phone on the ground. When Luo Fei and his men found Lin Ruilin, he was sitting comfortably in the Jinxiu restaurant. Luo Fei immediately ordered someone to check the surveillance footage. Liu Dongping was curious about what was wrong. Luo Fei said that it only takes 20 minutes to get from the hospital to here, but Lin Ruilin took an hour! What happened in between? The man's figure appeared on the surveillance footage, and Luo Fei asked Lin Ruilin who the man was, but Lin Ruilin didn't know.

Back at the station, Luo Fei scolded Xiao Liu, who was guarding Lin Ruilin's ward, terrifying the newly arrived Wang Jing. Liang Yin quickly messaged Zhang Yu to come and help. Zhang Yu arrived in time to help Xiao Liu out and comfort him. He also brought fruit to share with everyone. Several people watched the surveillance footage, and Liang Yin took Lin Ruilin for a check-up. The surveillance footage didn't show the man's face clearly, and there wasn't much footage to go on. Lin Ruilin was fine physically, but when asked about the memory of that incident, he couldn't remember anything. It had just happened, and it was clear on the surveillance footage, but Lin Ruilin couldn't recall it. This puzzled everyone, and Luo Fei suggested bringing in Lu Fengping.

After Lu Fengping was brought in and analyzed the situation briefly, he looked at Lin Ruilin's appearance on the surveillance footage and concluded that Lin Ruilin had been hypnotized. They needed to find a hypnotist who could remove the hypnotic barrier, and Lu Fengping was the best candidate. Lu Fengping and Luo Fei looked at each other. Later that evening, Luo Fei and Zhang Yu were practicing boxing when Lu Fengping arrived. Zhang Yu criticized Luo Fei for scolding Xiao Liu too harshly, and at that moment, Lu Fengping arrived. The two of them trained for a while and then collapsed from exhaustion. Luo Fei brought up the matter of Lin Ruilin, saying that he couldn't leave the police station but would provide a comfortable environment for him to be hypnotized. Lu Fengping agreed and expressed his gratitude to Luo Fei for visiting his mother every year.

Before the hypnosis, Luo Fei interrogated Xiao Xifeng again but gained nothing. The hypnosis room was ready, and Lu Fengping started to hypnotize Lin Ruilin. Luo Fei didn't want to leave and stood by to observe. Lu Fengping hypnotized Lin Ruilin and told him that no matter what happened, as long as he counted to three, the hypnosis would end. Lin Ruilin fell into a hypnotic state, and Lu Fengping tried to bring him back to the scene of that afternoon, hoping to discover something. He found out that Lin Ruilin had indeed been hypnotized and a hypnotic barrier had been set up. Lu Fengping guided Lin Ruilin through language and hoped that he could speak out what he saw. Lin Ruilin smoothly described what he saw, the easiest and yet the most difficult thing to eat in the world, repeatedly uttering the phrase. Luo Fei realized that it was the tongue! Just then, Lin Ruilin began to bite his tongue, and Lu Fengping timely counted to three and ended the hypnosis.

Lin Ruilin was sent to the hospital, and his bitten tongue was timely sutured, but the healing would affect his language function. Lu Fengping was blaming himself when suddenly someone came to take him away, saying it was the intention of the Lu Bureau. Luo Fei did not stop them.

The incident where Lin Ruilin showed suicidal behavior during the hypnosis session has caused extremely negative public opinion. The city bureau had been trying to suppress the serial case before this, but this incident had too much impact. Lin Ruilin's family demanded a compensation of 200,000 yuan and the capture of the culprit. Lu Bureau specially asked Luo Fei whether it was done by Lu Fengping, but Luo Fei said there was no evidence. Lu Bureau gave Luo Fei 24 hours to find the truth. If they couldn't, both of them would have to be transferred from the 615 task force.

Luo Fei worked overtime to organize his thoughts, and Liang Yin brought him a supper. She also asked Luo Fei if he believed in Lu Fengping and expressed her belief that it was not done by Lu Fengping. Liang Yin knew that Lu Fengping was Aunt Deng's son and hoped that he would not keep things from her in the future. After saying that, she left. Luo Fei listened and remembered that from childhood to adulthood, he felt that his sister had really grown up since Liang Yin joined the team.

The next day, the task force worked together to find clues. Lin Ruilin's food and drink had no problems, so where did the problem arise? Suddenly, Liu Dongping remembered that Lin Ruilin had recently started taking a new medication to lower his blood lipids. He suspected that the medication might be the problem, and now the medication was being tested. Luo Fei and Liu Dongping rushed to the laboratory and waited for a long time before the results came out. It turned out that Lin Ruilin's medication had been tampered with, and the drugs in the bottle were hallucinogens with the same ingredients as those in the previous cases!

Luo Fei contacted Professor Ling, and he inferred that the culprit had forcibly hypnotized the victim before the crime. After Professor Ling's explanation, the forced hypnosis was established. When Lin Ruilin appeared in a trance-like state again, the culprit disguised himself as a courier and forcibly hypnotized Lin Ruilin. Lu Fengping's hypnosis on Lin Ruilin later was the trigger that led to Lin Ruilin's suicidal behavior. The conclusion was established, and Lu Fengping's grievances were cleared. Lu Bureau would handle the media's inquiries, and the task force could finally continue their investigation.

Two days later, Lu Fengping was released and returned to the task force as a consultant. He entered the room and greeted everyone as if nothing had happened. With Liang Yin's explanation, Lu Fengping learned that it was Luo Fei who had brought Professor Ling to help rescue him. Later, Luo Fei and Lu Fengping went out to eat together.

Luo Fei had already obtained approval in advance, and after a few drinks, Lu Fengping thanked Luo Fei for trusting him. Luo Fei mentioned that he had investigated Lu Fengping and had attended the seminar to get closer to him. Luo Fei even guessed that Lu Fengping had actively sought the opportunity to become a consultant. Luo Fei also said that he had put in a lot of effort to obtain the clues. This was the first time the two of them had opened up to each other, and Luo Fei accepted Lu Fengping. He even added Lu Fengping to the task force work group. The two of them smiled at each other and drank until closing time. Luo Fei was already drunk and passed out on the table. Lu Fengping tried to wake him up for a long time, but to no avail. He had to pay the bill and carry Luo Fei on his back to a taxi, preparing to take him home.

When they arrived at the residential area, Lu Fengping carried Luo Fei on his back towards his house, with Luo Fei pointing in the direction in a dazed state. Finally, they entered Luo Fei's house and Lu Fengping placed him on the bed. As Lu Fengping was about to leave, Luo Fei gave him a clue about the 2008 Yang County murder case: "hallucinogens". Lu Fengping was startled upon hearing this, then left. After Lu Fengping had gone out, Luo Fei suddenly woke up, revealing that he had been pretending to sleep and had purposely given Lu Fengping the clue.

The next morning, Luo Fei, still half-asleep, overheard a conversation between Lu Fengping and his mother. When he left his room, he saw Lu Fengping who had come to bring him breakfast. Luo Fei's parents thought that Lu Fengping was Luo Fei's best friend. Lu Fengping brought up the issue of hallucinogens that Luo Fei had mentioned the previous night. Luo Fei did not deny it and directly said that he had found hallucinogens at the scene of the 615 case. He had investigated it for a long time but had not found any other clues. The hallucinogen found in the 615 case had the same composition as the one found years ago. This was one of the reasons why Luo Fei agreed to let Lu Fengping join the task force. Lu Fengping also mentioned his own situation with his mother. They had been dependent on each other for many years, and when he earned money in college, he bought his mother a silk scarf, hoping for a better future. However, his mother went to Yang County the next day and never returned.

There was a new lead from Liu's side. They went to the bureau together to check it out. Xue Bing had found the email that Xiao Xifeng had deleted. Someone on the internet had seen the novel that Xiao Xifeng had written for Tu Liansheng and was deeply moved. They offered to help seek revenge and provided a series of people related to the incident. The names of Zhao Lili, Yao Shuhan, Zhu Sijun, and Lin Ruilin were all on the list, but they had not yet found the person who punctured the tire. The people on the list had all been punished, except for Zhu Sijun.

The two of them immediately went to Zhu Sijun's home, hoping to get his cooperation. At first, Zhu Sijun wanted to focus on his work and couldn't cooperate. However, after learning that he had lost his job, he voluntarily offered to cooperate and suggested payment as an incentive because he was in desperate need of money. Lu Fengping and Luo Fei had a good understanding and relationship, much better than before.

At Luo Fei's request, Zhu Sijun stayed at home and Luo Fei arranged for people to guard his house, ready to deal with any emergencies. Suddenly, Zhu Sijun received a phone call saying that a delivery had arrived, but Zhu Sijun did not leave the house. Luo Fei and Xiao Liu rushed to the post office first, but after asking around, they found out that there was no delivery for Zhu Sijun. They immediately realized what had happened and rushed to Zhu Sijun's house, with Lu Fengping following closely behind and panting from exhaustion.

When they arrived at Zhu Sijun's house, they found that Zhu Sijun had actually left. After asking his father, they found out that Zhu Sijun had captured a deliveryman and was now taking him to the city bureau. Luo Fei and the others immediately drove back to the bureau, and on the way, they were able to get through to Zhu Sijun's phone and confirmed that the deliveryman had gone to Zhu Sijun's house and was now on his way to the city bureau. The news of Zhu Sijun capturing the culprit spread like wildfire on the internet, with people praising him and criticizing the investigation team. The head of the bureau was furious, as they had been investigating for so long, and the culprit had been caught single-handedly by Zhu Sijun. The others were trained not to speak up, and Xiao Liu bore the pressure to report the information about the person Zhu Sijun had caught, Li Lingfeng, who they concluded was the culprit. The head of the bureau ordered an immediate interrogation and said that if they couldn't catch him, the investigation team needn't exist anymore.

Luo Fei interrogated Li Lingfeng, who was not at all afraid and calmly said that it was just a death sentence. He then asked Luo Fei what time it was and after getting the answer of 8:30, Li Lingfeng reminded Luo Fei to check the Longzhou hotspot. The news at the forefront was a video that Li Lingfeng had recorded in advance, in which he described Tu Liansheng's tragic experience and his own punishment of the four people, and also mentioned that he had kidnapped Zhang Huaiyao, who had previously punctured Tu Liansheng's tires. He made a demand that if the police wanted to save him, they should arrange a car for him and Zhu Sijun separately, and included a video of Zhang Huaiyao being kidnapped! The video caused a sensation online and was a blatant challenge to the police, with a very negative impact.

The police have found Zhang Huaiyao and learned about his involvement in the incident where he stopped a car to save a dog and then slashed the tires of the car. They also found surveillance footage of Zhang Huaiyao's last appearance at Longzhou Park, which showed that it was Li Lingfeng who contacted him and drugged him. The video of Zhang Huaiyao slashing the tires was also discovered. The investigation team searched multiple locations but could not find where Zhang Huaiyao was being held. Based on the time when Li Lingfeng filmed the video, Zhang Huaiyao had already been detained for about forty-four hours and the situation was critical. They needed to find him quickly, but a carpet-style search was not feasible and hypnotizing Li Lingfeng was not practical. Everyone was in trouble until Luo Fei, who had been silent, carefully watched the video that Li Lingfeng recorded and noticed the sound of flowing water, karaoke, and decoration. He narrowed down the scope and identified the Huayue Hotel. Wang Jing was sent to investigate the situation immediately. Meanwhile, Luo Fei, at Lu Fengping's suggestion, went to Li Lingfeng's house with Xia Mengyao and found a note in his closet that explained the modus operandi for several cases, including a device prepared for Zhang Huaiyao. After receiving a call from Wang Jing, Luo Fei arrived at the police station and interrogated Li Lingfeng again.

Li Lingfeng did not deny it and calmly explained his device. The device contained poisonous gas, and if the lock was not opened or the two-hour countdown ended, or if the door was forced open, the gas would be released. The device was also connected to the hotel's ventilation system, which meant that if the gas was released, Zhang Huaiyao and everyone in the hotel would be affected. The police had only one option left: they brought in Zhu Sijun, and in exchange for his cooperation, they agreed to his demand for a commendation. The police arranged a meticulous plan, assigned Zhu Sijun and Li Lingfeng to a car, and deployed all other units, ready to take action!

Everything was going smoothly, and the vehicles were driving according to the original plan. Suddenly, Li Lingfeng and Zhu Sijun's car changed its trajectory. Luo Fei drove to chase after them. Li Lingfeng and Zhu Sijun got into a dispute, and Li Lingfeng squeezed Zhu Sijun out of the car and drove alone ahead. The time left on Zhang Huaiyao's side was getting shorter and shorter. Luo Fei finally caught up and blocked Li Lingfeng's car, but Li Lingfeng still crashed into it. Suddenly, a car rushed out at the intersection and collided with Li Lingfeng's car!

Luo Fei and Lu Fengping finally caught up with Li Lingfeng's car, but at this point, Li Lingfeng was trapped under the car and suffered serious injuries. However, Zhang Huaiyao on the other side had little time left. Lu Fengping signaled for Luo Fei to go over first, because if something unexpected happened over there, it wouldn't just be Zhang Huaiyao who would be hurt. Lu Fengping had injured his foot when he saved Luo Fei just now, so he stayed in place to wait for the ambulance with Li Lingfeng.

Luo Fei finally arrived, but time was running out. There were over 100 possibilities for the six-digit password, but there were only two chances left. Li Lingfeng was still unconscious and couldn't provide any information. Luo Fei called Lu Fengping and the two of them quickly racked their brains, carefully recalling the details they had found when investigating Li Lingfeng's home, and guessed the password he might have set. They finally had a clue. Based on the number Li Lingfeng gave to Zhang Huaiyao in his wardrobe and the date Zhang Huaiyao was kidnapped, Lu Fengping deduced a password. Luo Fei immediately entered it, but failed! There was only one chance left. Lu Fengping quickly remembered one of Li Lingfeng's habits and realized that he had switched the number and date positions to get a password. This time, they succeeded! The door opened successfully and the police rushed in, rescuing the barely conscious Zhang Huaiyao. Lu Fengping and Luo Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had both succeeded this time.

Lu Fengping, along with Zhang Huaiyao and Li Lingfeng, stayed in the hospital due to a foot injury. After Liang Yin found out that Lu Fengping was Deng Yi's son, her attitude towards him changed. She stayed by Lu Fengping's bedside, actively concerned about his injuries, and even cut an apple for him. Lu Fengping was surprised by her sudden kindness, as they had been enemies since middle school and always fought whenever they met. The police technical team discovered that Zhu Sijun had a jamming device in his car, which was why the police suddenly lost sight of the footage in Li Lingfeng's car during the pursuit. Additionally, Li Lingfeng's handcuffs were unlocked. Although there was a jamming device, the camera still captured the footage. Liu Dongping was sent to investigate, and then Luo Fei came to see Lu Fengping. Lu Fengping mentioned the jamming device, but Luo Fei did not answer and just gave him a bowl of rice. Later, Liu Dongping called and said that the camera was damaged, and Xue Bing was repairing it. Also, Zhu Sijun had woken up and was currently being interviewed by reporters. After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei went to see Zhu Sijun, and Lu Fengping followed despite his injured foot.

The two arrived at the door of Zhu Sijun's hospital room and saw many reporters interviewing him inside. Zhu Sijun looked proud and enjoyed the attention, expressing his willingness to cooperate with the police, without mentioning his previous demand for a commendation from the police. Luo Fei and Lu Fengping watched the scene outside the door for a while and were impressed by Zhu Sijun's acting skills. After the reporters left, they entered the room, and Luo Fei deliberately mentioned the jamming device. Zhu Sijun claimed that he didn't know what it was and pushed the responsibility for unlocking Li Lingfeng's handcuffs onto the police. In the face of their questions, Zhu Sijun claimed that Li Lingfeng had hypnotized him and then pushed him off the car. He then asked his girlfriend, who he was about to get engaged to, to escort them out. The two agreed that Zhu Sijun was wasting his talent if he wasn't an actor.

The next morning, as Lu Fengping woke up, Luo Fei helped him to wash up. Suddenly, Xia Mengyao burst in and said that Zhang Huaiyao was going to commit suicide. They rushed to the rooftop where they found Zhang Huaiyao standing there, wanting to jump down and apologizing to his pet "Laura". Lu Fengping guided Zhang Huaiyao back to the day of the incident using language, hypnotized him, and helped him block his memories of being locked up that day. As the countdown ended, Zhang Huaiyao stumbled, but Lu Fengping caught him, and he gave up the idea of suicide. Zhang Huaiyao was rescued with the help of Lu Fengping and Luo Fei.

The doctor diagnosed that Li Lingfeng had lost his ability to think like a normal person, so they had to try to get information from Zhu Sijun again. Luo Fei and Xiao Liu found Zhu Sijun once more, but he still insisted on his original statement and did not provide any useful information. The investigation team looked into Li Lingfeng's personal relationships and bank records and found something suspicious. Li Lingfeng's family situation was average, but his account suddenly received a total of one million yuan in deposits not long ago, and all of it was withdrawn the day before Zhao Lili died! Xue Bing also repaired the camera, which revealed that Li Lingfeng and Zhu Sijun had a conversation in the car. They discussed the "boss" and had a dispute about the unequal distribution of money. Zhu Sijun claimed to know about the money Li Lingfeng had hidden in the air-raid shelter and said that he would not let Li Lingfeng go without the money.

Luo Fei and Xue Bing were watching the surveillance video of Li Lingfeng and Zhu Sijun in the car. Everything was explained, and the two had a deal behind the scenes. No wonder Zhu Sijun refused to cooperate. But the reason why he lied was still unclear. At this time, Luo Fei received a call from Xiao Liu. Zhu Sijun left and drove towards Nanming Mountain, with Xiao Liu following him. Luo Fei immediately went out to support them and reminded Xiao Liu to be careful.

Zhu Sijun's car kept driving in the direction of Nanming Mountain. There were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road. Xiao Liu kept following behind. Finally, Zhu Sijun stopped the car and walked towards the mountain. Xiao Liu followed him all the way. Zhu Sijun walked into an air-raid shelter that was particularly dark. He kept going until he found something inside. There was a box hidden inside, and when he opened it, it was full of hundred yuan bills. Zhu Sijun smiled and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Liu Dongping appeared behind him. Liu Dongping advised Zhu Sijun to let go, but Zhu Sijun didn't listen. He even used half of the money in the box as an exchange, hoping that Officer Liu would let him go. But Liu Dongping refused!

Zhu Sijun helplessly talked about his difficult living environment, as well as the economic pressure from his girlfriend's family. He hoped to move Liu Dongping, but the police officer didn't buy it. He said that Luo Fei was on his way, and advised Zhu Sijun to face the consequences. As he spoke, he was about to move forward and subdue Zhu Sijun. Zhu Sijun became anxious and looked at Liu Dongping's approaching figure on the wall. When he saw the opportunity, he took out a small knife and stabbed Liu Dongping. They had a fight, but Liu Dongping finally got the box and handcuffed it to himself with his own handcuffs. Zhu Sijun was completely desperate to get the money, and he stabbed Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu was already seriously injured and almost couldn't hold on. Seeing that Zhu Sijun was about to kill him, Luo Fei arrived just in time. Zhu Sijun immediately fled, and Xiao Liu protected the box, enduring his injuries. He said he was okay and asked Luo Fei to chase after Zhu Sijun.

Luo Fei finally caught up with Zhu Sijun and they fought each other. Xiao Liu, who was in the air-raid shelter, kept holding on. Eventually, Luo Fei succeeded in subduing Zhu Sijun and handcuffed him to the car. Luo Fei immediately rushed back to check on Liu Dongping's condition. By that time, Liu Dongping was already in critical condition. Luo Fei carried Liu Dongping on his back and ran outside, shouting at him not to fall asleep. Finally, when they reached the car, Luo Fei put Liu Dongping down. Although he should have been safe by then, Liu Dongping had lost too much blood and had stopped breathing. At that moment, the police car arrived, but it was too late. Luo Fei cried and blamed himself.

Back at the bureau, Brother Yu angrily scolded Luo Fei and told him what Xiao Liu had told him earlier. It turned out that Xiao Liu was about to be transferred to the provincial department but had not told Luo Fei for fear of affecting the case. Xiao Liu had always admired Luo Fei and treated him like a master. Whenever he made a mistake, he would blame himself for a long time. Brother Yu had always encouraged him. Luo Fei usually had a cold attitude towards his colleagues. After scolding Xiao Liu last time, Xiao Liu had been blaming himself. Brother Yu understood that Luo Fei cared about his colleagues deep down and advised him to think carefully. Luo Fei remained silent.

During the interrogation of Zhu Sijun, Lu Fengping was also allowed to participate in order to see if Zhu Sijun had been hypnotized. This time, Zhu Sijun revealed a lot. He recalled the day when Li Lingfeng came to his house and gave him his boss's phone number. The person on the phone offered Zhu Sijun a deal in exchange for making him famous and getting him a good job, as well as a reward of 500,000 yuan. Every step afterward was carried out under the person's direction, including the planned car crash that killed Li Lingfeng. When asked about Liu Dongping, Zhu Sijun said that Xiao Liu had tried to stop him from leaving and it was an accident. Hearing this, Luo Fei was furious and his clenched fists seemed to want to strike Zhu Sijun.

It was raining heavily when Liu Dongping was laid to rest. Everyone in the special investigation team offered flowers to him, and they remembered every bit of the previous case. Each person's eyes were full of sorrow and pain for Liu Dongping's sacrifice. Finally, it was Luo Fei. Previously, Liu Dongping had told Luo Fei that he had never seen him drink. Liu Dongping asked Luo Fei to drink with him, but Luo Fei replied expressionlessly that they would talk about it after the case was over. In the air-raid shelter, Liu Dongping had said, "This case is over." This time, Luo Fei brought wine, perhaps to make up for something. Scenes of Liu Dongping kept flashing through Luo Fei's mind, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time.

The sacrifice of Liu Dongping had a great impact on Luo Fei, who couldn't get over it for a long time. He immersed himself completely in the case and applied to investigate at Li Lingfeng's house again. He kept asking the aunt who knew nothing about the case and instinctively suspected the word "delivery", desperately wanting to uncover the truth. Fortunately, Lu Fengping was there to stop him. Otherwise, Luo Fei's behavior would have completely affected his normal life.

Back at the bureau, Luo Fei was even more relentless and put pressure on the entire task force. He worked overtime to investigate Li Lingfeng's information and demanded to find all the information within the past six months. Even though his colleagues found no problems, Luo Fei refused to believe it and insisted on continuing the investigation. Lu Fengping watched as everyone became exhausted and Luo Fei became almost insane. He couldn't bear it anymore and reminded Luo Fei to go home, but Luo Fei ignored him and told him to go first.

As expected, everyone worked through the night. The next morning, Lu Fengping sought help from the bureau, and the director noticed the terrible condition of everyone. He pulled Luo Fei aside and expressed his understanding of his feelings, but also reminded him to pay attention to his colleagues' well-being. The director sent everyone home to rest, but they didn't dare to leave. Finally, Luo Fei relented and allowed everyone to go home and rest.

A few days later, Luo Fei took the initiative to find Lu Fengping. It turned out that there was new progress. Li Lingfeng was not the one hypnotizing the victims, but each victim showed signs of being hypnotized. This means that there must be someone behind Li Lingfeng who is helping with the hypnosis. However, according to the surveillance footage, there was no second person at each crime scene except for Li Lingfeng. Lu Fengping quickly realized that the problem was with the parcel box, which was exactly the point Luo Fei wanted to make. And based on the size of the parcel box, the person assisting Li Lingfeng must be small in stature! Unfortunately, Lu Fengping didn't have a chance. All the people related to the incident of stopping the car to save the dog had been punished. The person would not act again, but Luo Fei said that there was still one person left, the person who was saved-Zhang Huaiyao!

On the other hand, Zhang Huaiyao received a phone call from a stranger who claimed to have found Zhang Huaiyao's pet dog. Zhang Huaiyao was very excited and immediately went to the agreed location. Soon, a person in a wheelchair was pushed over. The person tried to hypnotize Zhang Huaiyao and wanted to awaken the sad memory that Lu Fengping had helped him block before. Just as the person was about to succeed, Lu Fengping and Luo Fei arrived in time and stopped the behavior. This time, the person who could hypnotize Li Lingfeng was finally found. After investigating, the police found out that this person's name was Tu Xiaomao and that he had been registered in the local welfare institute before, so he had not been found until now.

Luo Fei and Lu Fengping were interrogating Tu Xiaomao. Tu Xiaomao did not resist. It turned out that Tu Xiaomao was a child picked up by Tu Liansheng, who suffered from congenital heart disease and cartilage dysplasia. Although his body was weak, kind-hearted Tu Liansheng did not give up on him and raised him together with Xiao Xifeng. Although life was tough, it was full of hope. Tu Liansheng was worried that Tu Xiaomao would not be safe at home alone when he went out, so he made a hidden space in the car. Tu Xiaomao witnessed the entire process of rescuing the dog when they intercepted the car. Later, when his father suffered, Tu Xiaomao also felt his pain and hated those people. The previous few cases were all his doing. As for hypnosis, Tu Xiaomao accidentally did a small test, and someone came to him and taught him how to hypnotize after finding him. The person who taught him hypnosis never let Tu Xiaomao remember his face. Tu Xiaomao only remembered the sound of his footsteps and a silver ring on his hand. Tu Xiaomao admitted that he was actually in a lot of pain during the revenge process. When he learned that Xiao Xifeng was also threatened by Li Lingfeng and involved in the revenge, Tu Xiaomao was very surprised and finally understood how much harm his revenge had caused to the people he loved.

What Luo Fei and Lu Fengping did not know was that outside Tu Xiaomao's hospital room, a stranger with the same characteristics as those described by Tu Xiaomao also appeared at the hospital. The person was looking for Xia Mengyao, and the two looked at each other. There was a feeling in Xia Mengyao's eyes that could not be understood, as if there was a secret hidden in her heart.

Yu Ge found Lu Fengping and both were very worried about Luo Fei's condition. Yu Ge suggested that Lu Fengping could hypnotize Luo Fei, just like when he saved Zhang Huaiyao, block that memory and help Luo Fei overcome his guilt towards Xiao Liu. Lu Fengping agreed. Lu Fengping began to hypnotize Luo Fei, taking him back to the day in the air-raid shelter. Xiao Liu was still persuading Luo Fei to chase Zhu Sijun, but this time Luo Fei did not go and chose to stay, saying "Master, don't leave this time." Finally, Luo Fei's condition improved. Lu Fengping took the opportunity to ask Luo Fei what he saw at the scene of the 2008 Yang County murder case. Lu Fengping saw Luo Fei's injured mother lying on the ground, on the verge of death, and Luo Fei actually left! When he saw this, Lu Fengping couldn't help but cry.

Lu Fengping had been hypnotizing Luo Fei for a long time, without forcefully waking him up. Luo Fei had slept for a while and finally woke up. Lu Fengping asked about Luo Fei's current condition, and Luo Fei said he was much better. However, what Luo Fei did not know was that while he was under hypnosis, Lu Fengping had seen the silhouette of Luo Fei leaving the scene of the Yang County murder case. Lu Fengping was not doing well now.

Lu Fengping leaned against the old Box supermarket door, looking at the candy wrapper in his hand, contemplating something. Aunt Zhou sensed Lu Fengping's concerns and sent Old Box to check on him. Lu Fengping asked Old Box a multiple-choice question, about having to do something that would betray someone. Lu Fengping asked Old Box how to choose. Old Box said that as long as you can justify it to yourself, it's okay. After hearing this, Lu Fengping seemed to have an answer in his mind. Before leaving, he even joked with Aunt Zhou and Old Box.

Lu Fengping looked at Luo Fei's number for a long time but still couldn't get through. He recalled his childhood memories when his mother ran a claypot rice restaurant and they relied on each other. Lu Fengping was too young at the time, and Old Box followed behind him trying to help him carry something. Lu Fengping thought he was a bad person and ran home frantically, accidentally falling down. Lu Fengping and his mother depended on each other, and the neighbors helped a lot. Later, Lu Fengping's mother had an accident, and Old Box stayed by Lu Fengping's side. Lu Fengping went to Yang County to see the girl who was saved by his mother. His mother's claypot rice restaurant was transferred to someone else, but fortunately, Old Box was there to comfort him, and Lu Fengping survived that difficult time. Lu Fengping then recalled the image he had seen in Luo Fei's memory and seemed to have made a decision.

Lu Fengping went to the location where a stranger had previously invited him and talked to the stranger again. With the stranger's guidance, Lu Fengping obtained an envelope from under the chair, which contained a photo of a girl. According to the person on the phone, finding this girl would lead to more clues about what happened years ago. Lu Fengping questioned why it wasn't brought up before, and the person said it was to gain his trust and suggested that Lu Fengping follow the route they had planned. They also said that they would send someone to pick him up when he had made up his mind. Lu Fengping went back home and drank, his mind spinning with recent events, the image of the cat he painted, and the stranger's phone call.

The task force had a meeting, and Lu Fengping indicated that Liang Yin should summarize the entire case, which has been fully connected so far. The details of the case have been fully investigated, except for the identity of the "boss" behind Zhu Sijun, Li Lingfeng, and Tu Xiaomao. Lu said that the case is not yet over and they must find out who the "boss" is. Luo Fei mentioned that the hallucinogen given to Tu Xiaomao was the same as the one used in the 2008 Yang County murder case, and he requested to reopen the case. Lu affirmed this and said that they must find out the truth and give justice to the victim.

The task force sorted through the old information, but they were not complete. Luo Fei mentioned that he had looked through it five years ago, and Lu Fengping asked if they had found anything new. Luo Fei replied negatively, and went to get more information with his team. This time, Lu Fengping did not go with them, and Luo Fei emphasized that they were investigating the hallucinogen. Lu Fengping made excuses and stayed behind, watching them leave.

The local police station's Liu Hao received instructions to cooperate with Luo Fei and others in retrieving the case files. It was revealed that White Yaxing provided information as a source. However, during White Yaxing's operation, he did not follow instructions and forcibly rescued a person named Xiaohua. Xiaohua sought revenge and killed White Yaxing and his girlfriend's parents. Xiaohua has been sentenced, and White Yaxing was depressed for a while but soon recovered and expanded his business. The person who produced the hallucinogen had already died. After the investigation, Luo Fei accepted the suggestion to have dinner with his colleagues before returning to Longzhou. Liang Yin noticed that Luo Fei had changed!

At present, the only clue they have is White Yaxing. Luo Fei proposed to talk to him, but then he saw a letter on the table. When he opened it, it was Lu Fengping's resignation letter, stating that the 615 case was over, and he was stepping down as a consultant. Luo Fei tried calling Lu Fengping, but he didn't answer. Following a stranger's guidance, Lu Fengping went to find the girl. Lu said that they could not leave the consultant position empty, and Professor Ling recommended Gao Yongxiang to take over. Luo Fei said that he still wanted to talk to Lu Fengping.

Luo Fei went to find Lu Fengping, but he initially refused to open the door. Finally, Luo Fei entered, and Lu Fengping said that he wanted to keep the studio operating as usual and handed over the hallucinogen to Luo Fei to investigate. Before Luo Fei could check for any clues in the room, he received a phone call...

Gao Yongxiang was strangled to death, and when the boss received an apology call, he promised that it would not implicate everyone despite the loss of life! On the surveillance footage, Luo Fei's subordinate arrived and the boss sent someone to investigate. The computer screen showed the Yaxing Group, which was Bai Yaxing's company! The person found an excuse to send away Luo Fei's subordinate who went to investigate. Luo Fei couldn't find Gao Yongxiang's whereabouts but found the building where his relatives lived from Professor Ling.

Wang Jing and Xue Bing went to Gao Yongxiang's room and smelled a pungent odor before entering. They found a corpse inside, and the police arrived shortly after. Strangely, the journalists arrived at the same time as the police. The victim's head and limbs were all chopped off. The police searched Gao Yongxiang's room carefully, and except for a locked room, nothing was unusual. Luo Fei noticed an old electrical wire on the TV cabinet, and both ends and the middle were clean. It was speculated that the head and limbs were removed after the wire was used. Finally, Luo Fei found a key on the roof beam, opened the locked room, and found a fainted girl inside. She was immediately sent to the hospital.

After returning to the bureau, the task force concluded that the killer had strong anti-detection abilities as no surveillance footage was captured. The girl who fainted was Liu Ningning, a senior student at Longzhou University who was now receiving treatment at the hospital. The case had not yet made a breakthrough, and rumors were spreading online. Various comments flooded in, and even the discovery of the female college student was exposed, most of which were unfavorable comments about Gao Yongxiang.

Wang Jing and Liang Yin went to the hospital to visit Liu Ningning, but before they could ask any important clues, Liu Ningning showed signs of panic and had to stop. After asking the doctor, they found out that Liu Ningning might have psychogenic amnesia and needed psychological counseling to recover.

Luo Fei also noticed the heat of the Gao Yongxiang case and thought that there must be something fishy about it. If it weren't for inquiring about psychological treatment from Professor Ling, who said that they needed to find Lu Fengping to solve the case. The two waited for a long time at the door of Lu Fengping's studio, and Lu Fengping finally appeared. However, Lu Fengping declined, saying that he was too busy recently to help. But Luo Fei presented two contracts and asked Lu Fengping to choose. Finally, out of respect for Professor Lin, Lu Fengping agreed to help.

Lu Fengping arrived at Liu Ningning's hospital room to help her with emotional release, taking her back to the scene of the incident and guiding her to visit Gao Yongxiang's room. Once Liu Ningning entered the room and the door closed, she immediately became uncontrollable, screaming "Hei Wa, Hei Wa". Recognizing that the situation was not right, Lu Fengping quickly counted down from three to one to end the hypnosis. After waking up, Liu Ningning was in a panicked state and afraid of her surroundings.

Lu Fengping concluded that the crime scene and the hospital room had similar characteristics: both were enclosed spaces. Therefore, he suspected that Liu Ningning had claustrophobia and noticed that she became extremely agitated whenever there was any movement involving doors. However, whenever windows or doors were opened, her emotions would somewhat calm down. Lu Fengping believed that Hei Wa must be related to Liu Ningning's claustrophobia. Therefore, in order to solve the case, they must start with Hei Wa and unlock Liu Ningning's memories. Lu Fengping's phone rang and Luo Fei left.

That night, Luo Fei and Lu Fengping had dinner, and Luo Fei intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that Lu Fengping had been working during a recent period. Lu Fengping suspected that Gao Yongxiang was actually helping Liu Ningning with her treatment. Luo Fei said that the next step was to investigate Liu Ningning and Gao Yongxiang's relationship and then left.

Wang Jing and Luo Fei went to the hospital to check Liu Ningning's psychological treatment records. They found out that Liu Ningning had come to Gao Yongxiang a few days before the holiday, hoping that he could help her with her claustrophobia, which had led to an argument with her boyfriend. Luo Fei noticed that Liu Ningning's name was misspelled in the psychological treatment records, which led him to believe that the two did not know each other before. On the other side, Liang Yin and Lu Fengping found Liu Rong, Liu Ningning's boyfriend, and Liang Yin conducted a routine inquiry. Liu Rong mentioned that they had a quarrel because he had rented a basement and brought Liu Ningning there. However, Liu Ningning wanted to live somewhere else, and they had an argument over this. It turned out that Liu Rong didn't know Liu Ningning had claustrophobia.

After they returned and organized the information, Luo Fei asked about Lu Fengping's whereabouts. Lu Fengping had something to do and had gone back. Luo Fei found Lu Fengping's recent behavior suspicious.

Luo Fei routinely asked Liu Ningning's mother. According to her, she did not know about "Black Wa" and Liu Ningning is not her biological child. He was adopted from the Chun Guang Welfare Institute. Liu Ningning's mother said that he has always had a fear of enclosed spaces since childhood, but they never took it seriously, and they did not expect it to continue when he grew up. As for Liu Ningning's life before adoption, they can only go to the welfare institute to find out. After Luo Fei finished questioning, he made a call and arranged to go to the welfare institute with someone.

Liang Yin and others went to work as usual, but they found the office door that was locked last night was open! They carefully walked inside and saw a person's back. The person introduced themselves as Chen Jiaxin, who was the new assistant assigned by the provincial department to Luo Fei and meant to replace Liu Dongping. Everyone understood that Luo Fei had not completely moved on and would occasionally mention Xiao Liu in their work. Looking at Chen Jiaxin, they all felt a strange feeling and didn't say anything.

Luo Fei and Lu Fengping went to the Chun Guang Welfare Institute. Luo Fei had been here before to promote the law and knew the place quite well. They found the director and inquired about Liu Ningning. Liu Ningning's nickname was Nannan, and he was abandoned in Longzhou Park. The police found him and sent him to the welfare institute, and he was later adopted by someone. The director also helped Luo Fei find Nannan's file. There was a letter left by his birth mother, but they found out that the letter was missing. The director remembered that the letter mentioned Nannan's mother being deceived and getting pregnant out of wedlock, having Nannan, and then being abandoned because she was sick and could not take care of him. They didn't know the name of the biological parents. After leaving the director's office, they met an old acquaintance, Lao Yang, who invited Luo Fei for a drink, but Luo Fei declined and left. On the other hand, the "boss" received news that Luo Fei went to the welfare institute and asked if they needed to take care of the files. The "boss" said he had a better person for the job.

When Luo Fei and Lu Fengping returned to the bureau, they saw someone sitting in Xiao Liu's place. Luo Fei's expression changed immediately. Liang Yin quickly introduced Chen Jiaxin, but Luo Fei ignored him and called for a meeting. Lu Fengping immediately arranged for Chen Jiaxin to be moved to another position when he saw the situation. The group discovered a homicide case that occurred six years ago in the provincial capital, where the victim suffered the same way as Gao Yongxiang, but the victim's information could not be found at all. Wang Jing speculated that the killer may be the same person, so he ruled out Liu Ningning's suspicion because Liu Ningning six years ago hadn't even started college and didn't know Gao Yongxiang at all. Luo Fei said they would hypnotize Liu Ningning again the next day and had to unlock the "Black Wa" point. He suggested starting from Longzhou Park. After the meeting, Lu Fengping also talked separately with Chen Jiaxin and explained that Luo Fei was not deliberately targeting him. He hoped that Chen Jiaxin would quickly integrate and familiarize himself with the way Luo Fei works. Chen Jiaxin readily accepted.

The next day, Lu Fengping tried to hypnotize Liu Ningning again, but there was no progress. Lu Fengping and Luo Fei analyzed the situation and thought it was likely that Liu Ningning had no memory of Longzhou Park. Luo Fei decided to go to the welfare institution again. They saw Bai Yaxing at the entrance and greeted him. After a brief conversation, Bai Yaxing gave Luo Fei his business card. Luo Fei then went to the archives to get Nannan's file and discovered that someone had tampered with it, and the missing file was actually Liu Ningning's.

Back at the bureau, Luo Fei accidentally saw Chen Jiaxin's drawing board, and learned that Chen Jiaxin could draw portraits. Luo Fei brought Chen Jiaxin to the welfare institution, and Chen Jiaxin really drew the portrait of the missing girl. Luo Fei showed the portrait to the director to learn about the girl's situation. According to the director's memory, the girl's name was Li Mengnan, and she came to the welfare institution with Nannan. Her mother was arrested for drug use and her father was killed during a robbery, making her life extremely tragic. It was finally clear that Li Mengnan and Nannan had been mixed up in the welfare institution's records, and therefore the director had been kept in the dark. In other words, Liu Ningning was actually Li Mengnan. Her father's criminal record could be found at Gaoling police station, and the case finally had a direction.

Liang Yin and Chen Jiaxin went to the police station and found Li Mengnan's father Li Jun's file. Based on the address on the file, Wang Jing found Li Jun's neighbor, Teacher Ma, who knew everything that happened in Li Jun's family. It turned out that the "Black Doll" that Liu Ningning had always been talking about was actually Li Mengnan's younger brother, and their mother's name was Qin Yan. Luo Fei also found Lao Yang, who turned out to be the victim of Li Jun's robbery. Luo Fei also mentioned that Li Mengnan's file had been swapped. Lao Yang visibly panicked, and the two just stared at each other in silence. Back at the bureau, they sorted out their thoughts again. They noticed that Qin Yan had disappeared after visiting Li Mengnan once in the year she was released from prison, and an unidentified female corpse was found that same year. Luo Fei boldly guessed that the unidentified female corpse was Qin Yan.

Suddenly, the bureau received a call from Lu's office. Lu Fengping has been detained on suspicion of a missing persons case.

Two days ago, a man on the street grabbed a girl and called her "Pan Pan". Later, he took out a knife and was stopped by the crowd. Eventually, he was detained for five days. When his wife came to sign the documents, she explained that their daughter was missing and that her husband was worried about their daughter's safety and not in a normal mental state when the incident occurred, and hoped that the police could be lenient. The police noticed that his daughter was missing and registered her as the girl in the photo that a stranger gave to Lu Fengping that day.

Lu Fengping had saved a girl at a bar, who turned out to be the missing girl. Therefore, the police believed he was involved in the missing case and detained him for questioning. Lu Fengping did not deny that he had saved Hu Panpan at the bar, but said he was only upholding justice and did not know their identities. Afterward, they separated. The police noticed that the surveillance cameras near Lu Fengping's home were all malfunctioning. Lu Fengping claimed he did not know what had happened and only said that he had signed a confidentiality agreement with the task force, unable to explain more.

At the same time, someone interviewed Luo Fei. The result was that Lu Fengping had not been with Luo Fei all day recently! Luo Fei requested to meet Lu Fengping. During the meeting, Luo Fei did not directly speak for Lu Fengping but questioned him. On August 1st, when Luo Fei went to Lu Fengping's house, he noticed that Lu Fengping brought a girl home. Later, when Luo Fei went with Professor Ling to find Lu Fengping, his shoes were covered in mud, which made Luo Fei suspicious of Lu Fengping. After Lu Fengping explained everything, he taunted Luo Fei, saying that this case was not under his jurisdiction. Luo Fei then left. The police continued to question Lu Fengping, who had a strange smile on his face, showing disappointment and a deep, unpredictable emotion.

The boss received another call. It was said that Luo Fei had found Li Jun and Qin Yan, and that he knew what to do and would not implicate anyone else. The boss also promised to take care of her! The DNA test of the headless female corpse came out, and it was indeed Qin Yan! In other words, Yang Xingchun, who injured Gao Yongxiang and Qin Yan, was highly suspected, so Luo Fei immediately organized a team to go to the welfare institution. Old Yang was very calm and even prepared food and drinks to entertain them.

Lao Yang knew that the ending was already set. He began to recall the whole process, saying that Liu Ningning would always be his daughter. At that time, he worked in the neighborhood committee. Because Teacher Ma came to the committee for help, he had contact with Nan Nan. Nan Nan's father was in prison, and her mother was neglecting her and her brother due to drug addiction, even forgetting to prepare food for them. The two children were hungry and thin more than once. Later, the government learned about this and decided to give the family a monthly subsidy of 800 yuan. Qin Yan, in order to get the subsidy, would clean up the children and the room nicely on the day when the money was distributed each month, giving Lao Yang the impression that the children were doing well. Later, she would go to get the money herself. Qin Yan indulged herself after that and didn't care about the two children, even locking them in the bedroom and not going home herself. When Lao Yang went to check on them, Blackie had already starved to death. Nan Nan also suffered from claustrophobia as a result!

After Qin Yan went to prison, Lao Yang adopted Nan Nan. The family lived happily together. At this time, Nan Nan had lost her previous memories, which was psychogenic amnesia. However, the good times didn't last long. Li Jun was released from prison. He was only concerned about the subsidy and did not take good care of Nan Nan. He also took drugs. Lao Yang loved Nan Nan deeply and didn't want to see her treated this way, so he advised Li Jun, but Li Jun didn't listen. Losing control, Lao Yang killed Li Jun and made it look like self-defense. Nan Nan went to the welfare institution, and in order to hide her identity, Lao Yang swapped her information with Nan Nan's sister. To protect Nan Nan, Lao Yang killed Qin Yan after she was released from prison! To avoid affecting Nan Nan, he hid Qin Yan's identity.

Later, Lao Yang remained in contact with Liu Ningning. Liu Ningning always called him "Dad Yang." The incident with Gao Yongxiang was because Lao Yang found out that Gao Yongxiang had bad intentions toward Liu Ningning. To protect her, he locked her in a room and killed Gao Yongxiang. After confessing everything, Lao Yang reached out his hands and waited to be arrested. As he was leaving, Luo Fei asked Lao Yang how Liu Ningning's file was stolen since the key to the file room had always been with the dean. Lao Yang just said he had no comment.

After 24 hours, Lu Fengping was released. Lu Fengping recalled what had happened recently.

Lu Fengping once again dialed the phone number of the mysterious person. This time the man instructed him to go to the Longzhou Cemetery, where someone would meet him. Later, Lu Fengping finally saw the true face of the man. It turned out to be Bai Yaxing! He also said that they would meet at this place in the future. What kind of path did Lu Fengping choose in the end?

Liu Ningning came to the entrance of the police station and called to surrender. Liu Ningning accepted interrogation by Luo Fei and said that after Lu Fengping hypnotized her that day, she recovered that memory. According to Liu Ningning's description, Gao Yongxiang suffered from claustrophobia while treating her. He accidentally knocked over the teacher and hit his head, resulting in Gao Yongxiang's death. Liu Ningning was in a state of extreme panic at the time and called Lao Yang. To protect Liu Ningning, Lao Yang locked her in that enclosed room, causing her to forget that memory. Later, in order to protect Liu Ningning, Lao Yang took the blame and made the scene look similar to the case six years ago, successfully getting Liu Ningning off the hook.

Liu Ningning said that Lao Yang had previously said that if she continued to be a good person, he would always protect her. But this time, after doing something bad, Lao Yang still took the blame for her. Liu Ningning couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart, so she chose to surrender. After the interrogation, Liu Ningning and Yang Xingchun passed by each other, looking back frequently, as if conveying something. Based on the clues, the head of Gao Yongxiang was found. After the identification, the fatal point was indeed in the head. What Liu Ningning said was all true, and the case was really solved! Everyone celebrated and said they would go out for dinner that night. Luo Fei refused as usual, but after some thought, he agreed. Luo Fei has really changed a lot, and everyone is very happy.

Two days ago, Lu Fengping went to Deng Yan's grave and said he made a choice. He couldn't wait anymore and no matter what happens afterwards, he will give an account of himself. He sat in front of the grave for a long time. Lu Fengping also gave food to Hu Panpan, but she looked panicked when she saw him and was moving some gas tanks. What was going on?

After dinner, Luo Fei took Liang Yin home. Liang Yin found a lollipop on her door and remembered it was Lu Fengping's from their middle school days. In the car, Luo Fei thought about Lu Fengping's strange behavior lately while holding the lollipop that Lu Fengping left in the car. He became increasingly uneasy. They then went to Lu Fengping's house and found a long hair in there! The next day, they sent it to the police station for DNA testing and received news that Lu Fengping's sister, Lu Fengping, had returned to her studio to pack up her things and was preparing to leave. At the same time, the test result confirmed that the long hair was indeed Hu Panpan's. It means that Lu Fengping's disappearance is related to Hu Panpan!

When Lu Fengping left, he bid farewell to Lao He and Zhou Yi and said he might not come back soon. He also cared about them and reminded them to wear more clothes. It was then that Luo Fei showed an arrest warrant and arrested Lu Fengping on the grounds of the Hu Panpan case. Lu Fengping was taken to the police station, and Luo Fei personally interrogated him.

Luo Fei asked as soon as he came up why Lu Fengping kidnapped Hu Panpan. Lu Fengping said he did not kidnap Hu Panpan, and it was not enough to determine based on two hairs. Luo Fei asked why he wouldn't tell him the truth. Lu Fengping said he shouldn't have relied on him from the beginning. Luo Fei immediately guessed it had to do with Aunt Deng Yan. Lu Fengping advised Luo Fei not to ask anymore, as he wouldn't tell him. Luo Fei said he believed Lu Fengping was not the kind of person who would implicate innocent people in his own affairs. Lu Fengping heard this and said he would take them to a place.

In the car, Lu Fengping recalled the words he had said in front of his mother's grave, as well as the letter he had tried to write to Luo Fei before. The letter said that he had been thinking about finding the killer to avenge his mother for ten years, and as a son, he had not been filial to his mother when she was alive. Now that he had finally found a clue, he could not wait any longer and would take responsibility for all the consequences. However, he never told Luo Fei about these things, and even destroyed the letter after writing it. As he reminisced, Lu Fengping shed tears, and his heart was probably in great pain.

Lu Fengping took Luo Fei and the others to Hu Panpan's house, where he reminded Luo Fei to be careful of the gas canisters inside the house. When they went inside, they found that Hu Panpan had fainted on the ground. Lu Fengping took the opportunity to push the two of them into a room, where he retrieved the handcuff key he had hidden before. After unlocking the handcuffs, he opened all the gas canisters in the room. Wang Jing and Luo Fei, who heard the noise, frantically banged on the door, but Lu Fengping refused to open it and only advised them to leave. He also said he would turn himself in after he had done everything. Wang Jing pulled Luo Fei out, and the house was engulfed in flames!

"What is death?" a girl asked Bai Yaxing, and he explained to her that "some people seem to appear with a mission to awaken you." Meanwhile, Luo Fei went mad and walked towards a certain direction, and Liang Yin and everyone tried to stop him, but they couldn't. Luo Fei arrived at the body of Lu Fengping, and everyone left, leaving the space to Luo Fei. He leaned against the wall, crying in pain and looking helpless. He kept talking about Aunt Deng's case, with a questioning tone as if trying to wake up Lu Fengping. The girl asked Bai Yaxing what he could do next, and he said that he would awaken more people!

Professor Ling received a phone call, and Xia Mengyao came in to report her work. However, Professor Ling couldn't focus and only thought back to the first time he brought Lu Fengping to his studio and the later news that Lu Fengping was taking a leave of absence from school. There was a hidden sadness on Professor Ling's face. Luo Fei drove, thinking about the scene of Lu Fengping handing him candy in the passenger seat. He arrived at the clay pot rice restaurant across from Lu Fengping's studio and waited for his food while looking at the sign "Wind and Calm." He remembered every little detail from the past. When his food arrived, Luo Fei imitated Lu Fengping's habit of using disposable chopsticks. He remembered when Lu Fengping invited him to this restaurant for the first time. Luo Fei noticed an elderly lady tampering with things outside "Wind and Calm," so he immediately went downstairs to check. The lady turned out to be Lu Fengping's landlady, who said that Lu Fengping owed her a lot of rent and couldn't be contacted. Luo Fei paid the rent and sent the landlady away on behalf of Lu Fengping.

Luo Fei walked into the messy house that the landlord had already messed up, picking up the packaging paper of the winning lollipop on the ground while tidying things up. Inside, he looked at the clue wall on the wall, which contained information about the Yang County murder case, as well as the information about investigating himself that Lu Fengping mentioned when they first met. Luo Fei's mind was full of Lu Fengping's figure. Luo Fei took the candy wrapper to the old box supermarket. The old box seemed to know something, but regardless of Aunt Zhou's obstruction, he drank alone. When he saw Luo Fei's arrival, he even spoke his mind for Lu Fengping, saying that Lu Fengping wanted to avenge his mother and did not want to involve Luo Fei. Luo Fei seemed to understand and did not say much, just took out the candy wrapper. The old box instantly understood and looked at the lollipops that Lu Fengping usually ate on the table, letting Luo Fei take them all away.

Luo Fei then went to Hu Panpan's hospital room and conducted a routine inquiry, asking if Hu Panpan was kidnapped by Lu Fengping. He also mentioned that their first meeting was because Hu Panpan was beaten and driven away for selling illegal drugs, and Lu Fengping saved her. However, Hu Panpan only said to ask Lu Fengping and was not very cooperative. Luo Fei said that he was giving her a chance and specifically emphasized the consequences of selling hallucinogenic drugs. When her mother heard this, she quickly said that her daughter was forced to do it. Luo Fei also said that Lu Fengping was dead and then got up and walked out. It was then that Hu Panpan spoke up, saying that Lu Fengping did not kidnap her.

Hu Panpan remembered that Lu Fengping had asked for his help and said that he could ask for help if he needed it. Hu Panpan then told Lu Fengping about the clue to the hallucinogen. In order to avoid Hu Dayong, Hu Panpan asked Lu Fengping to find a hiding place for her. Lu Fengping guessed that Hu Panpan didn't want to go home because of her father. As expected, Hu Dayong was not Hu Panpan's biological father. Hu Dayong forced Hu Panpan to sell the hallucinogen. Hu Panpan asked why Lu Fengping was investigating the hallucinogen, and Lu Fengping explained that Hu Dayong may be related to his mother's death. Liang Yin, who was outside the ward, happened to hear about Hu Dayong and left the hospital. Hu Panpan's mother explained that she had been with Hu Dayong 12 years ago, in 2006, but Hu Dayong quickly showed his true colors. Three months ago, after D Bo lost badly, he forced the mother and daughter to sell hallucinogens. Hu Panpan mentioned that she had followed Hu Dayong and knew where the pharmaceutical base was located and was willing to cooperate. Then Hu Panpan's mother went downstairs to get a picture of Hu Dayong, but Liang Yin snatched the photo and looked at it for a long time, seeming to know the person in the photo!

After leaving the ward, Luo Fei went back to the explosion site and carefully examined it. The broken wooden boards did not have any burn marks! Back at the bureau, they discussed this matter, and Luo Fei suspected that the body was not Lu Fengping's! Then Rain brought the DNA test report of the burnt body, and it turned out that the body was not Lu Fengping's! It was Bai Yaxing's work again. Lu Fengping was safe and sound lying in bed at that moment.

Liang Yin applied to Director Lu for the case files of the Yang County murder case in 2008. She went to the archives and looked through the files, recalling the events from that year.

Back then, Liang Yin was wearing a dress and had her hair tied in a ponytail as she walked past an old factory. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a motorcycle approaching from behind. There were hardly any people on the road, so Liang Yin became even more scared. She picked up her phone and pretended to make a call until the motorcycle passed by. As soon as she felt safe, she put her phone down. However, Hu Dayong, who was riding the motorcycle, did not go far before he and his motorcycle fell to the ground. Liang Yin, who was kind-hearted, quickly went up to ask about his condition and tried to call for help, but the phone was not answered. Hu Dayong then covered Liang Yin's mouth and nose from behind, dragged her into the old factory, and pinned her to the ground. Liang Yin could only see his face in the reflection. As she recalled this, tears flowed uncontrollably down her face. She put the case files back where they belonged and her gaze became even more resolute.

Upon learning of Lu Fengping's fake death, Luo Fei suspected that Lu Fengping was likely hiding in Hu Dayong's pharmaceutical den. After obtaining a search warrant and weapons, Luo Fei, along with Wang Jing, followed Hu Panpan's lead to Hu Dayong's pharmaceutical den. Unfortunately, they did not find any trace of Lu Fengping inside, only equipment for making drugs. Back at the office, Xue Bing discovered that Lu Fengping had been captured on surveillance cameras on the southern outskirts of Longzhou. The footage showed Lu Fengping looking inside a car, and upon zooming in on the back seat, they discovered that Hu Dayong was in the car.

Everyone was guessing where the two of them were going when Liang Yin suddenly spoke up, firmly saying "Yang County." Luo Fei woke up abruptly and arranged for everyone to pack up and leave, ordering Liang Yin to report to Director Lu about their work before leaving and making sure that Luo Fei and the others waited for him. Luo Fei then called his friend Yu Ge and asked him for a favor before setting off. When Liang Yin returned to the office, it was empty, and she was about to chase after them when Yu Ge arrived just in time to stop her. It turned out that this was what Luo Fei had instructed Yu Ge to do, and Liang Yin realized what he meant and didn't make it difficult for Yu Ge.

On the way to Yang County, Luo Fei recalled what had happened in the past. It turned out that on that day, Liang Yin dressed up to go to a classmate's birthday party and specifically asked Luo Fei to cover for her so she could avoid her parents. Luo Fei instructed Liang Yin to be careful and to call him if she needed anything before going with her. Later, Luo Fei played games with headphones on and accidentally broke a cup. When Liang Yin called him, he didn't answer it in time. Luo Fei immediately dialed Liang Yin's number, but no one answered. Luo Fei realized that something had happened.

When Luo Fei and Liang Yin's parents arrived, Liang Yin walked out of the factory wearing a coat. As she passed by Luo Fei, he remembered the look in her eyes. Luo Fei rushed into the factory and saw a fleeing figure and Deng Yan lying on the ground with steel bars piercing through her. Deng Yan asked Luo Fei to chase after the person who did this. Luo Fei chased after him but the person suddenly stopped and Luo Fei saw blood dripping from his face. He stopped and watched as the person left. The police arrived shortly after, and Deng Yan passed away. Liang Yin watched from her mother's arms, and later she was hospitalized. Luo Fei stood outside the hospital room and didn't dare to go in. Luo Fei contacted the local police, and this time, he finally got closer to the truth.

Lu Fengping brought Hu Dayong to the factory where everything happened years ago. Hu Dayong couldn't recognize it anymore. When Lu Fengping said that this was Yang County, Hu Dayong remembered the past and even laughed, saying "It's gone, it's all gone." Lu Fengping became furious and whispered the past in Hu Dayong's ear, hypnotizing and guiding him to reveal what he did after he caught up with his mother and Liang Yin that year. In Hu Dayong's imagination, Lu Fengping saw his mother and Hu Dayong fighting and being pushed down, with steel bars piercing through them. Lu Fengping couldn't stop his tears from flowing. Suddenly, Hu Dayong woke up and ran away. Lu Fengping chased after him. With the help of the local police, Luo Fei also arrived at the scene and followed Lu Fengping's footsteps to catch up with him. By this time, Lu Fengping had caught up with Hu Dayong. Seeing the arrival of the police, Hu Dayong breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Fei stopped Lu Fengping's impulsive behavior. Only they knew the emotions they were feeling at this moment - the murderer they had been looking for for ten years was right in front of them! In the end, Luo Fei persuaded Lu Fengping to calm down and handed Hu Dayong over to the law, saying he didn't want to lose another friend. Hearing this, Lu Fengping finally calmed down.

Luo Fei interrogated Lu Fengping again. Lu Fengping confessed everything about the stranger, including his initial visit to the police station, the lead provided by Hu Panpan, the prepared body at the explosion site, and the entire process of faking the death, even the kidnapping of Hu Dayong was done by this person. Lu Fengping clearly identified the person as Bai Yaxing, whom he had met before. After hearing this, Luo Fei said that he needed to go find Bai Yaxing with Lu Fengping. However, Lu Fengping's phone must be monitored by the police 24 hours a day. Lu Fengping was stunned to hear this, and he probably did not expect the police to take such measures against him.

Lu Fengping sat in the passenger seat of Luo Fei's car again. Luo Fei said they needed to go to Professor Ling's place first. Lu Fengping initially refused because he did not want to be scolded by Professor Ling, but he eventually agreed, probably realizing that Professor Ling would worry about him. After going through all of this, their relationship became even closer than before. They joked and listened to their favorite music while driving towards Professor Ling's place. Lu Fengping specifically told Luo Fei to wait downstairs for him, saying that he did not want to see Luo Fei being scolded by Professor Ling. Lu Fengping went up to the rooftop of Professor Ling's studio, where Professor Ling had been waiting for him. Professor Ling started scolding Lu Fengping as soon as he spoke, but deep down he was more worried about him. Lu Fengping understood this and joked around with him for a while before leaving.

Luo Fei and Lu Fengping headed towards Bai Yaxing's company. Luo Fei suspected that Bai Yaxing was very likely the behind-the-scenes boss they had been investigating. He also linked Bai Yaxing to the 615 case where he appeared at the Chun Guang Welfare Home. Luo Fei suspected that Bai Yaxing was also related to Yang Xingchun. Little did they know, Bai Yaxing was standing on the overpass watching their car leave. When they met Bai Yaxing, he remained calm, took out his cane and ring, and questioned whether the evidence they mentioned was these two things. Luo Fei brought up the incident where Bai Yaxing identified the pharmacist who was then killed on the spot as a police informant. However, it was only recently that the police caught the real pharmacist, Hu Dayong! Bai Yaxing only said that Luo Fei had no evidence! As for what Lu Fengping said about seeing Bai Yaxing here before, Bai Yaxing also said he could take someone to check the surveillance footage. If there was none, he would reverse the accusation and sue Lu Fengping for defamation! They didn't get any answers and on the way back, Luo Fei said they had to change their thinking and focus on the motive!

Lao He and Zhou Yi were both at Lao He's supermarket, and both were in a bad state, very worried about Lu Fengping. Luo Fei and Lu Fengping happened to come back at this time. Lu Fengping saw the two outside and pretended to be a customer to buy lollipops. Lao He didn't notice at first, but when he saw Lu Fengping was safe and sound, a smile finally appeared on his face. Both of them really cared about Lu Fengping! Luo Fei and Lu Fengping brainstormed in Lu Fengping's studio. Luo Fei concluded that Bai Yaxing came for the hypnotist, and Lu Fengping agreed that the genius test, himself, and Tu Xiaomao were all like this. Lu Fengping said he couldn't be sure why Bai Yaxing chose the hypnotist or what his purpose was in doing these things. After much thinking, they still didn't have any results.

Xia Mengyao contacted Professor Ling, saying that she had a friend in the media industry who wanted to meet him. Professor Ling thought of the upcoming industry conference and gladly accepted! That friend turned out to be Bai Yaxing! Bai Yaxing expressed his desire to collaborate with the studio on a hypnosis performance project, and Professor Ling appreciated the idea and suggested that they work on it together after the industry conference. Bai Yaxing was willing to cooperate.

Luo Fei and Liang Yin recalled their childhood memories of playing together. Later, when Liang Yin moved to Longzhou, Luo Fei didn't dare to come out to meet her. He blamed himself for not answering Liang Yin's call that day, until Liang Yin joined the police station and they finally talked about it today. The three of them went to Deng Yan's grave and reminisced about the past. When Liang Yin moved to Longzhou, Lu Fengping unexpectedly helped her when she was being followed by gangsters. Later, Liang Yin learned boxing to protect herself. It was all finally over. On the way back, the three of them laughed together.

Bai Yaxing has contacted three hypnotists, all of whom will attend the industry conference. Zhang Ming from Huiyu Community fell to his death from a building, having just completed psychotherapy with Professor Ling a month ago. He mimicked a pigeon by spreading his arms before falling. Luo Fei went to the crime scene for investigation, and eyewitnesses reported hearing a whistle before the victim fell to his death. Luo Fei sought the help of Lu Fengping, and the task force held a meeting. Lu Fengping suspected that Zhang Ming was likely hypnotized and that the pigeon whistle was the trigger. Zhang Yu then reported that there were hallucinogens in Zhang Ming's body. However, raising pigeons was Professor Ling's advice to Zhang Ming, and it was only then that they realized that Bai Yaxing's target was Professor Ling. They rushed to Professor Ling's studio! At that time, Professor Ling was signing a contract with Bai Yaxing, who mentioned that they had met eight years ago when Professor Ling suggested that Bai Yaxing leave his sick girlfriend.

When they arrived, Bai Yaxing had already gone downstairs, and Luo Fei stopped him while Lu Fengping rushed upstairs to check on Professor Ling's condition.

Lu Fengping ran up the stairs, while Luo Fei was holding Bai Yaxing downstairs. Lu Fengping rushed into Professor Ling's office, fortunately nothing had happened to him. Lu Fengping immediately contacted Luo Fei, who then let Bai Yaxing go. However, suspicion of Bai Yaxing did not disappear!

Lu Fengping told Professor Ling that Bai Yaxing was the mastermind behind the "615 Case" and was concerned about Professor Ling's safety. But Professor Ling did not believe it. Luo Fei told Professor Ling that the cause of Zhang Ming's death had been determined - a hallucinogen plus hypnosis induction, and the hallucinogen used was the same as in the "615 Case." Luo Fei emphasized that Bai Yaxing was the informant back then and had the strongest suspicion. But Professor Ling still believed that Bai Yaxing had no motive to harm him.

Lu Fengping asked how they met, and Professor Ling said it was Xia Mengyao who introduced them. He also mentioned that eight years ago, Bai Yaxing had brought his girlfriend to him for treatment, and he had suggested that Bai Yaxing cut off contact with her. They left soon after. Bai Yaxing had just told him that his girlfriend had recovered. Luo Fei had asked Liang Yin to investigate Bai Yaxing's girlfriend's information. Lu Fengping was really worried about Professor Ling's safety and suggested that he not hold the industry conference for now. But Professor Ling insisted that it was essential for the entire hypnosis industry, and the invitations had already been sent out. Luo Fei suggested that the bureau send people to protect Professor Ling, and Professor Ling agreed.

Back at the bureau, Liang Yin found out that Bai Yaxing's girlfriend had committed suicide by cutting her wrist eight years ago. This means that Bai Yaxing had deceived Professor Ling. Luo Fei suspected that Bai Yaxing's target was the entire industry conference!

The industry conference was held as usual, and Luo Fei, Lu Fengping, and Chen Jiaxin were all hiding in the conference, concerned about the situation of the entire conference. Qin Tian, Zhou Huaigu, and Yang Bing were all previously invited by Professor Ling but had explicitly refused, but they unexpectedly showed up today. Later, the industry conference officially began, and Professor Ling introduced the hope that everyone could join together to collect the chaos in the industry and express their opinions. Professor Ling was originally confident that he could do something for the hypnosis industry, but he did not expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Bing, Qin Tian, and Zhou Huaigu stood up to refute Professor Ling. They were very dissatisfied with Professor Ling's heart-bridge therapy, and pointed out that there were also failed cases in heart-bridge therapy, specifically referring to the recent case of Zhang Ming. This also caught the attention of Luo Fei, who directly arranged for Chen Jiaxin to take the three of them back to the bureau after the conference.

Due to the deliberate destruction of the three people, the industry conference was not very successful. Lu Fengping rushed to comfort Professor Ling, and he understood the importance of the industry conference in Professor Ling's heart. Xia Mengyao also echoed from the side, and Lu Fengping glanced at her coldly, wondering what she was thinking. Lu Fengping escorted Professor Ling out, but the media had already blocked the door. Professor Ling wanted to say something, but suddenly a girl rushed out and demanded that Professor Ling refund her money, setting the tone. While Lu Fengping was not paying attention, an egg was thrown at Professor Ling, and he suddenly fainted. Lu Fengping immediately called an ambulance to take Professor Ling to the hospital.

Professor Ling woke up and told Lu Fengping about the effectiveness of the Heart Bridge Therapy. He hoped that Lu Fengping could protect the hypnotherapy industry. At this moment, Professor Ling finally saw Bai Yaxing's true face and regretted signing the contract too early. Now, the studio is under Bai Yaxing's control. Lu Fengping promised to protect his teacher's hard work. Outside the ward, Xia Mengyao had been waiting. After Lu Fengping came out, he asked Xia Mengyao why she introduced Bai Yaxing to Professor Ling. Xia Mengyao explained and then left. Before leaving, Lu Fengping emphasized that her clothes suited her well.

The two said that the three of them had already admitted that they were bought, but they didn't know who the buyer was. Lu Fengping suddenly remembered seeing Bai Yaxing taking medicine before. It turned out to be an anti-tumor drug. Liang Yin immediately began investigating. It turned out that three years ago, Bai Yaxing had gone to the hospital and had already been diagnosed with lymphoma, and had contact with Xia Mengyao! The doctor suggested that he be hospitalized for treatment as the cancer had already invaded his bone marrow.

Bai Yaxing and Xia Mengyao talked on the phone and said they must destroy the Heart Bridge Therapy, and let Professor Ling watch his lifelong work be destroyed. Bai Yaxing recalled his girlfriend, whose parents were murdered by Xiao Hua. Bai Yaxing's girlfriend changed drastically and even attempted suicide by cutting her wrists after receiving psychological treatment from Professor Lin. Bai Yaxing told his assistant, Lao Chu, that he would not undergo surgery and that Luo Fei couldn't be kept. Lu Fengping would handle it himself.

Lu Fengping and Luo Fei were not together. Lu Fengping was walking in Longzhou Park when he received a message from Bai Yaxing to meet up. Then two children appeared with water guns, spraying Lu Fengping and calling him a big villain. After spraying, they left, but Lu Fengping seemed to be in a strange state. Later, Luo Fei received a message from Lu Fengping about Bai Yaxing's invitation to meet up. Luo Fei also encountered a situation where Bai Yaxing attacked him with some people, but Bai Yaxing eventually left.

On Lu Fengping's side, a little girl flying a kite asked for his help to make the kite fly higher. Lu Fengping took the kite string, but his state of mind was not good. The birds and kites in the park gradually became blurry in Lu Fengping's eyes, and he accidentally dropped the kite string. After quickly dealing with the group of people, Luo Fei rushed to find Lu Fengping. By then, Lu Fengping had fallen into a trance, feeling that everyone around him was looking at him. Then Bai Yaxing appeared behind him and took him back to his mother's incident, which made Lu Fengping very sad and he cried uncontrollably. Bai Yaxing then handed Lu Fengping a knife, seemingly trying to induce him to commit suicide. At that moment, Luo Fei arrived just in time and saved Lu Fengping, although they did not catch Bai Yaxing.

Bai Yaxing's condition was not good and his illness became more and more serious. He planned to solve the problem between him and Lu Fengping in another way while holding his chest. What was he plotting?

Awakened Lu Fengping was already in the hospital, with Luo Fei by his bedside. It turned out that Lu Fengping had been hypnotized. Lu Fengping also understood that all of this was calculated by Bai Yaxing. He speculated that the water in the water gun must have been tampered with, and even the location was pre-planned. At the same time, the attacker who targeted Luo Fei had already been caught, but he didn't reveal anything and insisted that it was just a robbery. Luo Fei believed that Bai Yaxing had used many people this time, and would definitely reveal himself. He asked Chen Jiaxin to prepare the documents and they returned to the police station together.

As soon as Luo Fei returned to the police station, he unexpectedly received a phone call from Bai Yaxing, who claimed that he had turned himself in! Lu Fengping found it very suspicious, while Luo Fei hoped to find direct evidence from the interrogation. Before the interrogation officially began, Bai Yaxing spoke first with the intention of provoking the young Chen Jiaxin. Fortunately, Lu Fengping reminded him in time, otherwise Chen Jiaxin's emotions would have been difficult to control. Luo Fei quickly interrupted Bai Yaxing's irrelevant talk and got straight to the point. He asked Bai Yaxing why he turned himself in, but Bai Yaxing only said that he felt uneasy and couldn't sleep. As for Xia Mengyao, Bai Yaxing only said that they met in the hospital. Regarding police officer Liu Ha, Bai Yaxing recalled something from ten years ago.

At that time, Bai Yaxing was just a thug. After his hideout was raided by Liu Hao and his men, Liu convinced Bai to become his informant. Bai's target was his former boss Chen Qinan. After a period of training, Bai began his work as an informant once Chen returned to Yang County. Chen didn't quite believe him and gave him a task to test him. It was then that Bai first met Hu Dayong, and he felt the importance of Hu from their conversation. With Liu's help, Bai successfully completed the task assigned by Chen and infiltrated his inner circle. Bai finally made contact with the pharmaceutical manufacturing base and collected evidence, and Liu began to close in. Chen Qinan was caught red-handed and Bai's mission was accomplished. Bai also gave answers about Zhang Ming and Tu Xiaomao's matter and didn't think his behavior was a problem. In fact, he believed that what he did was above justice. Suddenly, Bai shifted the conversation to ask the police officer about his views on environmental protection, making it clear that the project was codenamed the "Clean Project"! Everyone was left confused.

Meanwhile, Xia Mengyao received a call reporting Bai Yaxing's situation and remembered his obsession with the "Clean Project". She couldn't help but think of the first time she met Bai Yaxing. She was standing on the rooftop, preparing to jump off when Bai Yaxing appeared just in time and saved her from despair! Their relationship became special after that. Later, Bai Yaxing arranged for Xia Mengyao to approach Professor Ling, and she played a very important role in all of Bai Yaxing's plans. Xia Mengyao has always been Bai Yaxing's biggest helper!

Professor Ling is still in the hospital. Since he signed a contract with Bai Yaxing before, Yaxing's company, Yaxing Group, now completely controls Professor Ling's studio. Yaxing has entrusted all the matters of the studio to Xia Mengyao, who says that the hypnosis performances are still going on as usual!

After interrogating Bai Yaxing for some time about the cleaning plan, Luo Fei and Lu Fengping were confused. They went to the rooftop to calm down, where Luo Fei asked Lu Fengping about his thoughts on the cleaning plan. Lu Fengping said that he used to think that Bai Yaxing's real purpose was to use hypnosis to try some people who couldn't be tried in court. However, after the incident with Zhang Ming, Lu Fengping denied his previous thoughts and had no idea about the cleaning plan. At that moment, Luo Fei received a call from Xiao Qiao, who said that Xia Mengyao was going to hold a hypnosis performance for the treatment of depression patients, and the performance would also be broadcast live. Luo Fei prepared to watch the live performance online through the link he was given, but Lu Fengping insisted on going to the site to see it for himself. Luo Fei stayed at the police station to watch the live performance, and wondered what Xia Mengyao was going to do.

Lu Fengping went to the scene, where Xia Mengyao held the hypnosis performance as a hypnotherapist, inviting many people to attend. Lu Fengping sat quietly in the audience, and Xia Mengyao led everyone back to their happy moments in childhood. The brief hypnosis made everyone in the audience feel a moment of joy, and the audience's response was very positive. After Xia Mengyao briefly summarized, she ended the performance and introduced the time for the second half of the show, welcoming everyone to continue to follow it. Lu Fengping watched everything quietly, while Luo Fei watched the live broadcast of the performance, but didn't notice anything unusual.

Back at the bureau, the task force held a meeting to discuss the matter of Bai Yaxing. They stated that they had already submitted materials to the prosecutor's office and applied for Bai Yaxing's arrest. Luo Fei pondered for a while and guessed that Bai Yaxing might be looking for an heir based on his actions towards Tu Xiaomao and Lu Fengping before. Lu Fengping agreed and believed that the heir was Xia Mengyao. They suspected that Bai Yaxing wanted to use the hypnosis conference to carry out a cleansing plan, but did not take action this time because he needed to gain enough trust to implement the plan.

The two of them found Bai Yaxing again and Lu Fengping asked Bai Yaxing directly if he was looking for an heir. Bai Yaxing did not answer directly but instead recalled what happened before. It turned out that after completing Chen Qinan's task and escaping, Bai Yaxing saved Xiao Hua on the way. However, during the operation to arrest Chen Qinan, Xiao Hua actually wanted to kill Bai Yaxing! The reason was that when Xiao Hua returned alive, his boss thought he was a spy and killed his entire family! Fortunately, Hu Dayong appeared and saved Bai Yaxing. Hu Dayong did not say much, but only hoped that Bai Yaxing could spare him. Therefore, during the process of identifying the pharmacist at the police station, Bai Yaxing did not reveal Hu Dayong's identity. But Hu Dayong did not change his stubbornness, so Bai Yaxing "gave him to" Lu Fengping! Regarding Yang Xingchun, Bai Yaxing did not deny it and calmly talked about it. He also mentioned that Hu Dayong had mental problems and was likely to have his sentence reduced. After he was released, he might commit crimes again. He asked Lu Fengping for his opinion in return! He also mentioned that letting the suffering people leave in happiness is also part of the cleansing plan. Finally, he asked the two of them a question: "Why can't you be my heir?"

The two couldn't understand the meaning behind Bai Yaxing's words, so they decided to go find Xia Mengyao. They drove to Professor Ling's studio and just met Xia Mengyao when Luo Fei received a call from Director Lu. Director Lu asked Luo Fei to immediately stop the operation and return to the bureau. It turned out that on their way to find Xia Mengyao, Bai Yaxing had already been released. Not only was the application for arresting Bai Yaxing not approved, but his lawyer also appealed that the police had suspected of forced confession. The result of the language feature identification of the transcript had come out, showing that Bai Yaxing's language features in the transcript were sometimes his own and sometimes Chen Jiaxin's. Luo Fei finally realized why Bai Yaxing had been attacking Chen Jiaxin and demanding that every word be recorded that day. It turned out that it had been planned long ago.

Public opinion was in an uproar, and the masses were biased towards Bai Yaxing. The influence of well-known entrepreneurs was too great. Director Lu, under pressure from his superiors, wanted to protect the task force and Luo Fei, but Luo Fei's suspension application still came through! On her way home, Liang Yin always felt someone was following her and kept looking back, but she didn't notice anything unusual and quickly returned home. However, it was actually one of Bai Yaxing's men following her.

Bai Yaxing was released, and Luo Fei and Lu Fengping waited outside. Bai Yaxing revealed his true face and declared his upcoming victory. He then arranged to meet with Xia Mengyao and celebrated their plan's success in advance.

The second half of the hypnosis performance was about to begin, but Luo Fei and Lu Fengping did not stop their actions!

The hypnotic performance in the second half arrived as scheduled. Xia Mengyao took the stage and said that she wanted to keep the happiest moment forever with everyone and guided the audience to follow her footsteps to the happiest moment.

At the same time, Luo Fei unexpectedly brought a group of people to the scene. Lao Chu teased Luo Fei about being suspended from work and asked him to leave with his people, but Luo Fei ignored him and calmly took off his watch and put it aside. Just as Lao Chu finished speaking, Luo Fei immediately took action, and the two sides fiercely fought. Seeing that the situation was not right, Lao Chu also brought people down to support. Meanwhile, Xia Mengyao's performance was still going on, but she suddenly changed her tone, leading the audience into a completely opposite state from before, and their reactions changed from enjoying it to crying with a painful expression. The fight outside continued, and in a short while, Luo Fei and his team subdued Lao Chu's people. Lao Chu was still being stubborn, but the hypnotic performance was about to end and Luo Fei couldn't stop it. Ignoring the situation, Luo Fei got up to get his watch, and at that moment, police sirens sounded outside the door!

It turns out that Luo Fei was not suspended! On the day before the performance, the task force had already made full plans. Xia Mengyao's hypnosis voice would be transmitted to the audience's ears through headphones, in order to convert their channel into a police encrypted channel, so that evidence could be preserved. Xue Bing took on this task, and the hypnotic language to be replaced would be completed by Lu Fengping. However, the performance scene would definitely be closely guarded, and Luo Fei's job was to delay as much time as possible. Later, a few unfamiliar interns were called in to act together. Lu Bureau knew about this operation and fully supported it!

With the help of Lu Bureau, manpower and Luo Fei were arranged in advance to create chaos at the scene. When the guards at the scene were attracted away by Luo Fei and the others, Lu Fengping hid in a cleaning cart and secretly entered the scene. He went to the control room and converted the channel into an encrypted channel. At the same time, Lu Fengping continued to hypnotize the audience, freeing them from their pain. Xia Mengyao and Lu Fengping shouted three-two-one together, and the hypnosis ended. The audience burst into applause. It was then that Xia Mengyao realized that Lu Fengping had stopped her. Meanwhile, the police who had obtained evidence against Xia Mengyao also arrived at the scene. Xia Mengyao couldn't escape! Lu Fengping slowly walked out. Up to now, Xia Mengyao still hasn't realized her mistake. She believes that she only helped relieve the pain of others and didn't do anything wrong. She even questioned Lu Fengping whether he had experienced that kind of pain before. It turns out that when Xia Mengyao was a nurse, she saw a patient lying in bed. The family outside the door was arguing over property and didn't care about the patient at all. In the end, the patient asked to end their own life. Xia Mengyao didn't want to see the elderly person suffer so she used hypnosis to make the elderly person smile and leave this world. Perhaps she had seen too much pain, Xia Mengyao was very determined in her behavior. Lu Fengping saw it all clearly and understood that Bai Yaxing had used Xia Mengyao. He angrily rebuked Xia Mengyao and hoped to wake her up.

Xia Mengyao was arrested, and as she was leaving, she reminded Luo Fei that the story wasn't over yet! Later, Luo Fei received a call from Bai Yaxing, who congratulated him on his achievement and reminded him that he had lost a partner by his side! Luo Fei then realized that it was Liang Yin! Liang Yin was in trouble! Three hours ago, Liang Yin encountered a robbery on the street. Liang Yin went to help, but unexpectedly, he was knocked unconscious from behind! Bai Yaxing admitted that he had Liang Yin in his hands and demanded that Luo Fei and Lu Fengping come!

At this point, Bai Yaxing had tied Liang Yin to a chair, set the bomb to countdown, and tied it to Liang Yin's body. Then he dragged the chair in one direction. Liang Yin woke up and shouted for help, but her mouth was taped, and no one could hear her cries for help! Luo Fei immediately contacted his men and, together with Lu Fengping, set off for the location designated by Bai Yaxing. Wang Jing also contacted everyone at the police station. When Luo Fei and Lu Fengping arrived, they had not yet seen Bai Yaxing and Liang Yin. They were attacked by a group of people on the way, but they fought their way to the top floor. Bai Yaxing and Liang Yin were on the top floor at the moment. Bai Yaxing had already fallen into a state of madness, even claiming that he was helping the police and that his actions were not a problem! He even said that Liang Yin should thank him! Liang Yin tried to resist, but the countdown was still going on! They finally found Bai Yaxing and Liang Yin, and stood in front of Bai Yaxing, trying to persuade him to release Liang Yin!

Luo Fei and Lu Fengping rushed to the rooftop where Bai Yaxing had completely revealed his hand, saying that he wouldn't live much longer. As he spoke, he raised his hands to surrender and threw a gun away. Then, he slowly revealed his plan. It turned out that Bai Yaxing had installed a device in his body. Only when Bai Yaxing died would the countdown of the bomb on Liang Yin's body stop! However, the law prohibited the police from shooting a surrendering suspect. This time, Bai Yaxing openly stated that he wanted to see how Luo Fei would choose!

Luo Fei picked up the gun from the ground, but Bai Yaxing still didn't stop provoking him. Bai Yaxing didn't believe in the law at all. This time, he was also declaring war on the law. Lu Fengping tried to stop Luo Fei, who still couldn't bring himself to shoot! Finally, Luo Fei put down the gun. Bai Yaxing became even more brazen, turning his back and proudly walking away, shouting "coward, coward, coward..." Lu Fengping then spoke up, hitting Bai Yaxing where it hurts -- the death of Gao Mei! Lu Fengping stated that Gao Mei's death wasn't entirely Xiao Hua's fault! If it wasn't for Bai Yaxing's selfishness, Gao Mei could have had a chance to receive mental treatment. Lu Fengping said that if Bai Yaxing had followed Professor Ling's advice at the time, Gao Mei could have had a chance to receive treatment! Lu Fengping's words were like sharp knives stabbing into Bai Yaxing's body. They seemed to awaken some of Bai Yaxing's memories, and he went completely crazy, in a state of frenzy! The countdown of the bomb was about to end! Wang Jing also arrived with the police. Then, a gunshot rang out, and Bai Yaxing fell to the ground! Liang Yin was saved! It was actually Lu Fengping who fired the shot! Luo Fei was shocked, but Lu Fengping stated, "He doesn't believe in the law, I do!" Luo Fei watched as Lu Fengping was taken away, but this time both of them had a smile on their faces!

A month later, everyone in the task force was packing up their things in the office, seemingly preparing to move out. Rain was helping Luo Fei pack up his things. When they left, they all looked back with reluctance. The memories of working here were very important to everyone. In their minds, they relived every moment of difficulty and growth. They couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness when they thought back to the past, especially about what happened with Lu Fengping. But after a brief period of sadness, they all returned to a joyful atmosphere. After all, they had caught the "boss", and the case had finally been solved! Hu Dayong, Lao Chu, Xia Mengyao and all the other people involved in the case were punished by the law. Lu Fengping was also sentenced to seven years in prison for intentional homicide. In the end, the law prevailed!

Luo Fei was also punished because of this incident. He returned to the task force office, which had already been cleaned up. Luo Fei sat quietly at his desk, recalling the days they had spent together, filled with reluctance. The 615 case had been successfully solved and everyone had returned to their normal lives. The Bureau of Lu had not yet sent their commendation, but they awarded the task force with a third-class merit. Everyone was very happy and confident about future cases! Luo Fei was very different from before. He was enthusiastic about gatherings and more direct in his communication with colleagues. Everyone's faces were full of the joy of victory! Lao He and Zhou Yi finally had a resolution and were happily eating together. This was exactly what Lu Fengping had hoped for. They both missed Lu Fengping very much. Liang Yin couldn't help but smile when she looked at the lollipop that Lu Fengping used to eat. She also missed him very much.

While in prison, Lu Fengping wasn't idle, writing about the code of conduct for hypnotherapists in his notebook. He never forgot Professor Ling's words. At this time, a guard informed him that Luo Fei had brought him something. After opening it, he found a windbreaker that he could wear when he was released. Lu Fengping smiled when he heard this.

Luo Fei came to visit him in prison, and Lu Fengping tried his best to act as if nothing was wrong, trying to lighten the atmosphere between them. Luo Fei thanked him, and Lu Fengping spoke honestly that he did it for justice and that the matter was over. He hoped that someone would treat him to a meal after he was released. Luo Fei said he would be the one to treat him. They looked at each other, tears in their eyes, but still smiling. More words were left unspoken.

Four years later, Lu Fengping was released on parole for his good behavior, but unfortunately, no one came to pick him up. He complained a bit but then went back to "calm" by himself. To his surprise, everyone was waiting for him there! Lu Fengping finally got to eat candy again!
