"The Privacy Writer" One night at a nightclub, Lei Ming and Wang Chuan are conducting a surprise inspection when they discover a mysterious woman. Her name is Chen Yunxiang, a well-known beautiful writer, who is mingling with a group of women to experience life. Chen Yunxiang warmly invites Wang Chuan and Lei Ming to her book signing event. They arrive as scheduled and meet Chen Yunxiang, Lu Dayong, and a charming middle-aged man, who Chen Yunxiang introduces as her publisher Wang Jianzhou, handling her upcoming autobiographical book "The Skirt Book." Also present is a poetess named Zhou Mei. In the criminal investigation team office, Wang Chuan rushes in with news from He Miao about a report stating that Chen Yunxiang has been murdered at her home. After eliminating a series of clues, Lei Ming engages in a confrontation with Zhou Mei. Zhou Mei's explanations seem reasonable, but just when the clues appear to run dry, Lei Ming discovers a problem with Chen Yunxiang's computer: a segment of her novel has been deleted. "The Strange Symptom" During a capture operation, Lei Ming gets injured. In the hospital, Dr. Gu Qing begins treating Lei Ming and Wang Chuan, assisted by a handsome male doctor named Pan Wenchang, who is Gu Qing's subordinate and very obedient to her. At night, Wang Chuan and Lei Ming drowsily fall asleep, only to be awakened by shouting in the corridor. They rush out to find nurse Lin Moxiang escaping from a man's grasp, who flees upon seeing Lei Ming. Lin Moxiang angrily states that the man's name is Zhang Xu, the director of the security department, who often behaves inappropriately toward her. The next day, Lin Moxiang disappears. Lei Ming and Wang Chuan begin their investigation but have no leads. Then, another incident occurs in the morgue: a corpse mysteriously disappears. In the boiler room, a fight breaks out between two scavengers over a gold ring. Wang Chuan intervenes, realizing the ring belongs to Lin Moxiang. After confirming with other nurses in Lin Moxiang's dorm, it is clear that the ring is hers. Lei Ming quickly summons Long Ling, who discovers melted buttons and remains in the ashes, confirming it as the site where Lin Moxiang's body was burned. The investigation immediately intensifies, and suspicion falls on Gu Qing. However, Gu Qing suddenly falls to her death from the rooftop. As the trail grows cold again, who is the real killer? "Gone with the Wind" A Fiat car tumbles into a valley on Beipan Mountain Road in Longjia Village, Jingxi. At the scene, Wang Chuan discovers blunt force trauma to the victim's head, significantly increasing the likelihood of murder. From the belongings left in the bag, including a business card and a driver's license, they identify the deceased as Shao Yipeng, 40, the general manager of Beijing Kaiyuan Company. Shao Yipeng's wife, Sha Xiuhua, comes to identify the body. Upon entering the morgue, she breaks down in tears and faints after catching a glimpse of the charred corpse. Lei Ming sends Sha Xiuhua away and, along with Mai Ou, goes to Kaiyuan Company to gather information. They meet with Ye Qiang, the general manager's assistant, who seems elegant and refined; Lei Ming is struck by her beauty. The next morning, an unexpected event occurs: the Shao family's home catches fire, and Sha Xiuhua is nowhere to be found! Even more bizarre, after investigation, it turns out the body in the car that toppled down the cliff is not Shao Yipeng. So why did Sha Xiuhua lie? "The Snake Case" A transnational human trafficking group masquerades as an “overseas study agency,” creating fake diplomas, degree certificates, and passports. The command center of the people-smuggling group is in mainland China, with criminal activities extending to Japan, America, Canada, and Australia, drawing attention from international police. Japanese police trace a lead and discover a group member named Mao Jia, a young woman, who is about to return to mainland China and settle by the sea. "Burning in the Furnace" On August 25, a murder is discovered in Jinyang Apartment. The victim, named Qi Hong, is a foreign trade company employee and single. Her death was horrific: she was naked with hands bound to the head of the bed, her mouth stuffed with a red bra, and covered in whip marks. She was menstruating at the time, but the lower part of her body was torn, and semen was detected in her vagina, indicating she was forced to engage in sexual activity before death. The victim’s abdomen had nine black circles drawn with a brush, pointing directly to her genitals. The time of death is estimated to be around 2 AM. Other items in the apartment remained untouched, indicating no signs of a struggle, while Lei Ming suppresses his fury as he examines the scene. Mai Ou searches online for female murder cases from the past decade. As the results come in, everyone is stunned: there are five remarkably similar cases, all occurring in August, without exception; these cases, despite being years old, remain unsolved, and the killer is still at large! The brutality of the killer is shocking. "Honeymoon Murder" Shen Jingjiang mysteriously goes missing and is presumed dead. Lei Ming and others discover he has a twin brother, who inherited their uncle's estate, with control in Shen Jingjiang's hands. Meanwhile, his brother has been a member of a drug trafficking group, which is why Shen Jingjiang didn't distribute his brother's share of the inheritance but instead saved it for him. This creates conflict between the two brothers, leading to a very poor relationship, with the brother even missing Shen Jingjiang's wedding. Shen Jingjiang may have withheld the existence of his twin brother from his new wife, Wu Danni, due to dissatisfaction with him, leaving Wu Danni completely unaware of his existence. When a batch of drugs handled by the brother is seized, the higher-ups will not overlook this loss easily. The brother needs a large sum of money to cover this gap and thus thinks of the brothers' inheritance. However, Shen Jingjiang firmly refuses to give money to his brother for any illegal activities. As a result, the brother harbors malicious intent and plans a murder—luring Shen Jingjiang out during their honeymoon and brutally killing him. He then impersonates Shen Jingjiang and uses a song to gain everyone's trust, nearly deceiving everyone, except for the newlywed wife Wu Danni, who spots the imposter. To silence her, the brother manipulates her emotions to make her appear mentally unstable, rendering no one believe her. However, he is ultimately uncovered by law enforcement. "Fashion Show Shadows" A fashion competition that should have been dazzling turns deadly, with beautiful models falling in pools of blood. In front of Lei Ming and others, the criminals will never escape justice.
