[Nine years ago] [Ivy Bay University Laboratory]

Professor Jiang.

I know you're in there.

If you're busy, I'll just wait for you outside.

Mo Yuan Zhi. I've told you countless times.

Your bachelor's and master's degrees are not a match for my doctoral program.

Why don't you pursue basic biological research?

Why do you keep pestering me?

Because in the entire field of gene-based drug research,

there's no better supervisor than you.

Please give me a chance.

Thank you.

Tell me, why do you want to do genetic research?

Because genetic research can change the world.

You're lying.

Young man.

If you have a family member you want to save,

then let me tell you, I've seen many students just like you.

I can only tell you this.

It's too late.

This path, even if you walk it for over a decade,

it might never lead to light.

Go back.

Professor Jiang!

- How many times have I told you- - Professor Jiang, I wrote this.

Please take a look when you have time. Thank you.

Professor Jiang, I'll come back tomorrow.

[Future Gene Research Plan] [Mo Yuan Zhi]

Come in.

Stop fiddling with that.

It's a matter of temperature.

You can apply to be my doctoral student now.

In Guatemala, South America, there's a bird called the Hoopoe.

It chirps once every 30 minutes.

The interval is accurate to the second.

That's why people call it the bird clock.

In the dense forests of Africa, there's a time-telling insect.

It changes color once every hour.

Locals call it the insect clock.

The South African large-leaf tree flips its leaves once every two hours.

Trees record time with rings in their roots.

These are called annual rings.

Turtle shells record the cycle of seasons.

These are called seasonal rings.

Carved inside the nautilus are month rings.

Paleontologists have discovered that

the calcium carbonate secreted daily by coral polyps

forms a tiny daily ring.

These daily rings accumulate into

a growth belt distinctly different from other years.

Based on the number of daily rings in these growth belts,

we can determine how many days were in a year.

And the number of daily rings in a coral

is exactly 365.

That's not right.

In recent years,

I've found many strange examples.

Many corals have daily rings

that exceed 400 in number for each year.

Why is that?

Why is that?

[Episode 8]

[December 12, 2024, afternoon] [Third Loop]

You're different from other police officers I've met.

I beg you!

Freeze!

Just hang on a little longer.

What are you looking at?

- Waiting for the time? Waiting for 12 o'clock?

How do you know about 12 o'clock?

Who told you?

What did they tell you?

That once it passes 12 o'clock, everything would start over?

Or that after 12 o'clock, you'd enter the loop?

Aren't you curious how he knows about these time points?

Aren't you curious why he has the ability to predict the future?

I know exactly...

I know exactly what you did!

I also know exactly how you committed the crimes.

Because he and I are alike.

You and him...

are alike?

Who is he?

Why?

Why are so many things happening today?

Fang Lu, let's go.

Stop looking.

Excuse me.

This was the first time...

I wanted to save that girl.

And I thought that knife could possibly kill someone.

But it's me who killed someone.

It's not your fault.

It really isn't.

Fang Lu.

You just did what a police officer should do.

Everyone!

Go back and take the statements.

Let's go. Back to work.

Mr. Mo.

Who is Jiang Yu Wen?

[December 12, 2024, night] [Third Loop]

In each loop day,

if there are no more time loop perceivers

to change others' behaviors,

then the day will restart again.

It will get back to its original state.

But this day has been constantly changing since dawn...

Can it still return to its original state?

Ding Qi.

Boss is looking for you. He's in your office.

Okay.

Boss.

I'm sorry.

What happened?

Fu Jun, that delivery guy you had Gu Song watch...

He's dead.

Our company is always talking about cutting costs and improving efficiency,

and I have my own difficulties.

Besides, was it really necessary for you to write to Mr. Mo about this?

Why did she say I wrote a letter?

Who wrote the letter?

Oh no!

Hurry!

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

This is bad.

What should we do?

Why are you just standing there?

Call an ambulance!

Ambulance!

We've checked the surveillance footage.

We can basically rule out homicide.

The traffic police have finished their investigation.

His wife's name is Sun Hong.

She's pregnant.

I got it.

Carry on with your work.

Okay.

Why?

Why does Fu Jun have to die?

He was just an ordinary person.

He only showed aggressive behavior in the first loop.

Why is it that the more I try to help him,

the more his fate moves toward extremes in the loop?

Looking for me?

- What do you mean by "alike"? - It's been really exhausting.

There were smoke bombs and hostage situations today.

I haven't even eaten yet.

You were inside.

You knew what they were planning.

How did you know?

I don't know. I was just asking.

- You don't know? - I don't know.

Then why wait until midnight?

Midnight? Midnight is still far away.

What's wrong?

Then what does the loop mean?

What does the loop mean?

I told you before I had a special power, and you said I was talking nonsense.

So, this time I said it, and he believed it.

Didn't this trick reveal that someone's behind all this?

Didn't we know that someone's behind this?

Well, if I knew that you knew someone was behind this,

I wouldn't have asked like that.

Nonsense.

It's hard to explain this right now.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

I feel like I've heard that many times from you before.

Impossible. I've definitely never said that.

- Are you sure? - Of course.

Think about it carefully.

I haven't even eaten, and I still have interrogations to do.

What kind of questions is he even asking?

He's never said that?

Boss.

Duan Zheng just told me not to give you any more information about Ye Kun.

What's going on?

I don't know either.

Just keep investigating for now.

- How did it go? - I finished the questioning.

That professor's eyes didn't look like those of a killer.

His movements were abnormal.

It was probably a sign of epilepsy.

He didn't want to kill anyone.

But as police officers, we have to take action.

We can't gamble with the hostages' lives.

I have a question for you.

It's not an interrogation.

You also graduated from Ivy Bay's biology department.

Do you know about the relationship between Jiang Yu Wen and Mo Yuan Zhi?

I've heard some rumors.

Before Jiang Yu Wen disappeared,

he had established himself in the field of genetic biology.

I've read many of his papers.

Their viewpoints and methods had some differences.

I've also heard that in academic circles,

the explanation for his disappearance was suicide.

They just couldn't find his body.

And that he set fire to the lab himself

with the purpose of destroying his experimental data.

Well... I have another question.

That is, why are attending the Zhaos' wedding?

The company required all executives to attend.

As the chief assistant, I'm considered half an executive.

But with everything that happened today,

I suppose I won't need to go anymore.

One last thing.

Take another careful look at this person.

Do you know him?

The person you arrested today?

I don't know him.

But I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.

Where?

Then again, maybe I haven't.

It's okay.

You haven't answered the question I asked you earlier.

Which question?

This morning, on Highway 1.

How did you know in advance that there would be an accident?

I didn't know.

- You didn't know? - I didn't know.

If you didn't know, why were you so urgent about making me change routes?

Have the driver change the route and exit the highway early at the M16 Exit.

Sir, please take the next exit ahead.

But that route is a lot longer.

Reroute immediately!

Because I... I checked the news this morning,

and looked at the traffic conditions, so...

Well, a traffic police colleague told me there was an accident ahead.

So, I deduced, if you took that route, you might be in danger.

This is just a reflection of my professional skills.

You're so busy.

Why would you be paying attention to the traffic conditions?

B-Because...

you were on the road.

How did you know I was on the road?

Sorry, could you repeat that?

Okay.

All right, I'll be right there. Just a moment.

Okay.

All right. Okay.

Got it.

Officer Ding, can I leave now?

What You Yu Xiang said isn't true.

You can investigate it.

We'll definitely investigate what needs to be investigated,

but I'd still like to hear your side of the story.

You Yu Xiang, to reopen Jiang Yu Wen's case, did something like this.

Why...

Why is he convinced that you're the one who killed Jiang Yu Wen?

You should ask him about it, not me.

Because I'd like to know why, too.

Besides, Professor You Yu Xiang's mental state has never been stable.

This is something everyone at Ivy Bay University knows.

Are you sure you shouldn't first investigate his mental wellness

before deciding whether to believe what he says?

We'll definitely investigate what needs to be investigated.

Mr. Mo,

it's still necessary for you to tell us about your relationship with Jiang Yu Wen.

Please.

Jiang Yu Wen was my PhD supervisor.

He was also once my idol.

In my final year of doctoral studies,

he was basically treating me as a partner,

not just a student anymore.

I was very grateful for that.

But I still couldn't understand his eccentric personality.

Thank you, Professor Jiang.

In everyone's eyes, Jiang Yu Wen is a strange man.

So, when I was choosing my PhD supervisor,

everyone around me was against me choosing him.

But I didn't care.

In the field of science,

every successful person is more or less a little eccentric.

I admired him.

I wanted to learn from him.

I wanted to become as excellent as he was.

I just never expected

our relationship would turn out that way.

Professor Jiang.

I've contacted an academic journal.

They said it has passed expert review.

Now it's in the editor-in-chief's final review stage.

They think the research findings are cutting-edge and valuable.

I hope you can publish it with me.

[Author: Mo Yuan Zhi, Supervisor: Jiang Yu Wen]

You can leave.

I got it.

Professor Jiang.

Professor Jiang.

Professor Jiang, why?

You're very smart, but that has become your downfall.

You know, there are no shortcuts in science.

You're too focused on your so-called shortcuts.

Sooner or later, you'll trip on that shortcut.

At that moment, I was absolutely certain

my idol was jealous of me.

Qi.

If one day, someone you look up to becomes jealous of you,

it can only mean you've truly succeeded.

Later, I applied to have my supervisor changed,

but the incident happened before I got a response.

Even the police couldn't find Jiang Yu Wen's body.

He just vanished into thin air.

I won't say more about the rest.

You can investigate it yourselves.

Anyway, it seems that whatever I say, you don't really believe me.

Look.

At Ivy Bay University, I only attended a few of Professor You Yu Xiang's classes.

We weren't even close.

We had no conflicts, nor any mutual interests.

Besides, on the day of Jiang Yu Wen's incident, whether it's the timeline,

witness testimony, or the surveillance footage, everything is out there.

I never entered that laboratory.

This Professor You Yu Xiang is still making these baseless accusations.

Why? What is he trying to do?

Also, You Yu Xiang claimed I killed Jiang Yu Wen, right?

Where is Jiang Yu Wen's body?

We need to prove Jiang Yu Wen is dead first.

Qi, I've wasted too much time today.

Can I leave now?

I'll have someone escort you.

Later, the police and firefighters arrived.

They believed the fire was an accident. [Biology Department Dean's Office]

The students suffered the most.

All their experimental data was lost.

Many studies had to start over.

Did those students include Mo Yuan Zhi?

Of course.

But he was really clever.

He just changed his research topic and graduated smoothly.

It was quite successful, too.

It later became the foundation of Moma Biotechnology.

So, Jiang Yu Wen just disappeared like that?

There were rumors that he jumped into a river and killed himself.

We only found out later that he had depression.

What... What was Professor You doing today?

He's not usually like this.

How could he do this in public? With a female student on top of that.

Our reputation is ruined.

The reputation of Ivy Bay University has been destroyed by him.

Don't worry so much.

Do you still have any documents about the laboratory fire from that time?

We handed everything to the police.

But I have photocopies. Do you want them?

Let me have a look.

[Archival Materials Handover Registration Form]

[Receiver: Huang Yuan]

Boss's case?

[Zhaos' wedding tonight is cancelled.]

Jiang Yu Wen's disappearance case from eight years ago.

That wasn't a disappearance case. It was a murder!

And the murderer is Mo Yuan Zhi!

You should ask him about it, not me.

Because I want to know why, too.

Officer Ding, I won't go in.

Walk to the end of the corridor, turn right, and you'll find Dr. An.

Outsiders are not allowed in here.

Let's go and talk outside.

[C1 Experimental Area - Supervisor: Mo Yuan Zhi]

Pei Shan, check the surveillance footage from Moma's R&D Department.

If there's any problem, I'll take responsibility.

But every time he investigates someone, there's always something off with them.

It's so weird.

Fine, I'll just look up whatever he asks for.

Come in.

- Are you feeling better? - Much better.

We just made a breakthrough.

There was a girl at the hall who got injured when leaving.

She claimed to be a student from Ivy Bay,

but we later found out she wasn't.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What's in the bag?

Open the bag. Open it!

We found hidden camera equipment in her bag.

This is what she secretly recorded.

And this is her phone.

[A murder happened at Ivy Bay University this afternoon. Are you okay?]

[Huang Yuan]

Hello, Boss.

Pei Shan, how's your cooperation with them?

It's going well.

Has Ding Qi shown any unusual behavior?

No.

I haven't noticed anything unusual about Ding Qi.

How is he doing?

He's working really hard.

Keep a close eye on him. If he acts strange, tell me immediately.

Okay.

Why didn't you respond to my messages?

[Criminal Investigation Bureau]

Officer Ding.

What exactly do you suspect me of?

I suspect you want to kill Mo Yuan Zhi.

I just hired someone to take a few photos.

How does that make me a murderer?

What about Han Song and Tang Shao Rong?

What do they have to do with me?

Your private investigator said you used the same methods to monitor both of them.

Why?

They both died in accidents.

Your police department closed the cases.

What I'm asking is why were you monitoring them?

I admit, I did monitor them.

In recent years, they've been working with Mo Yuan Zhi

to eat away at my family's shares.

Those people wear the mask of a scientist,

yet they're all ruthless businessmen.

Of course, what exactly they did is not my concern,

but if they harm the Yu family's interests, that's unacceptable.

So, what did you find out?

I discovered the three of them don't get along.

Don't get along?

But that's actually good.

To keep a company fundamentally fair, you need checks and balances.

But I never expected that within a month,

both of them would be dead.

So, what do you think about their deaths?

With the balance gone, don't you suspect Mo Yuan Zhi?

Of course I do.

On the mornings Han Song and Tang Shao Rong died,

Mo Yuan Zhi did strange things.

This morning, he did the same thing again.

So, I decided to follow him.

But I never expected

that he'd go to Moma.

I don't know what he was doing when he snuck out all those nights.

Was he out on a date with An Ian?

I'm not sure.

So, Officer Ding,

if you find anything,

please let me know.

You suspect I want to kill Mo Yuan Zhi?

Yes.

I want to kill him.

Have you ever heard this saying?

Every married couple in this world has countless moments

when they want to kill each other.
