Chang Luo, an internationally renowned young painter, suddenly woke up and found that it was a dream. He was on a plane to Tang Bing. The woman in the dream is his wife Chloadan, who jumped to her death a year ago.
Chang Luo combines the techniques of oil painting with the ethereal artistic conception of Chinese painting wonderfully and creatively, and is unique in the painting world. Chang Luo came to Tang Bing to hold an exhibition this time. By the way, he is going to visit his teacher, Mr. Yang Daqian. But Chang Luo got off the plane and was blocked by a reporter from Secret News. They hope to do an exclusive interview with Chang Luo. Chang Luo politely and firmly refused.
Behind Chang Luo, a woman in a trench coat in her thirties dragged a big suitcase past. She took a taxi to an obscure small hotel and checked in. Her name is Yan Jinruo, and she came to Tang Bing to date her first lover. However, at this time, she found an amazing change on her head and stared at herself in the mirror in horror every day.
Chang Luo's refusal to interview is expected. Yan Shu, director of the editorial department, went out in person, dressed up in disguise and followed. Chang Luo temporarily lives in Mr. Yang's studio. Yan Shu set up a telescope opposite his studio. Vowed to win this exclusive report.
Yan Jinruo's spirit tends to collapse. She picked up a watermelon knife ... she hasn't seen Yan Jinruo for several days. After the waiter knocked at the door and no one answered, she had a bad feeling. So I called the police and called the news hotline. However, after the door was opened, there was no bloody scene as expected. The scene was very strange: only Yan Jinruo's pajamas were found, placed like "people", and his abdomen seemed to be pierced by a watermelon knife. Yan Jinruo went up in smoke.
Yan Shu concluded that Chang Luo is a very boring person. He spends most of his time painting on the balcony, and the rest of his time is a statue.
Seeing that Chang Luo's life is so monotonous, Mr. Yang advised him to take care of his life and career, and also sent a golden retriever to accompany him. Chang Luo named the dog Penny, but he often screamed and scratched his trouser legs. This makes Yan Shudu, who has always been afraid of dogs, secretly scold him for being cold-blooded. Yan Shu observed that Chang Luo sometimes took out a photo to look at. Then I began to draw. His concentrated and sad feelings made Yan Shu keenly aware of something.
Lin Weiwei is an honest and kind policeman and an admirer of Yan Shu. But he was only bullied in front of Yan Shu. For example, Yan Shu always called him "Sister Lin", so he had to dare to be angry and dare not speak.
Yan Shu lied that she always forgot her house key, tricked Lin Weiwei into confiscating the "master key" and sneaked into Luo Chang's house. She saw all the sketches drawn by Chang Luo, but what caught her attention was that some of them were sketches of the same girl. Next to the painting, she saw a photo. This is the girl in the photo.
Yan Shu wrote a letter to Chang Luo: I hope that sketches will often be allowed to be used as the cover of the next issue of The Secret Story.
As expected, Chang Luo contacted Yan Shu soon after seeing the news. He didn't like her because of her threats, but he was still very polite. He told Yan Shu that the girl named Xia Hua in the sketch was one of his lost friends. Yan Shu finally brokered this agreement: if she can help him find Xia Hua, he will cooperate with her interview.
Chang Luo silently recalled: Xia Hua was his ex-girlfriend and once loved each other deeply. After his wife Kou Dan died, he suddenly missed Summer Flowers very much. He learned that Xia Hua was in Tang Bing from her mother in her hometown. But how easy is it to find someone in the vast sea of people?
Because Yan Shu didn't return the master key in time, Lin Wei didn't pretend to scold her fiercely. But Yan Shu said a few nice words and sent her away. Yan Shu happened to see a very strange disappearance case that Lin Weiwei was investigating: a woman named Yan Jinruo disappeared mysteriously. She couldn't help thinking that the disappearance of a secret room similar to the plot of a detective novel might be a good headline. Yan Shu beat about the bush, but Lin Wei didn't talk about the case. But Lin Weiwei's expression is a bit strange. It turned out that he remembered a disappearance he encountered during his secondment to Xianxiang City. In a scenic spot in Xianxiang City, a man jumped off a cliff in broad daylight, but the police only found his clothes at the scene and his body was gone. According to the documents in the clothes, this person is Zhang Yunyong, the helmsman on the cruise ship "Mantianxing" in the scenic spot.
Yan Shu reported her findings to the editor in chief. However, due to the special theme, the editor-in-chief has to communicate with relevant departments before deciding whether to publish it. On the other hand, Chang Luo's friend Xia Hua's search has no clue.
Yan Shu went to a bar with friends from the media in a depressed way. A friend who is a photographer saw the photos of summer flowers provided by Chang Luo and couldn't help wondering: Where did this girl seem to have seen it? Yan Shu repeatedly urged questions. It's easy for friends to remember that the last time I made a promotional film for several famous schools in this city, I saw a beautiful and quiet female teacher, which was quite similar to the person in the photo. ...
However, Yan Shu was disappointed to find that the female teacher mentioned by her friend, although she looks like summer flowers, is not her. Her name is Ling Zhen Zhen. But she still informed Chang Luo of the news. Chang Luo went to wait for her after school. But Ling Zhen Zhen just looked at him like a stranger. Yan Shu thought gloomily: The interview is over.
Yan Shu found that Lin Wei did not quietly retrieve a confidential document, so she stubbornly wanted to read it. Lin Weiwei reluctantly told her that she was considering whether to apply for a joint investigation with the "Yan Jinruo case" because she felt that this case was similar to the first two cases. This is also a missing case: a policeman on duty in a small county in Hongchang received an alarm from a woman in the middle of the night, saying that her home was haunted. When the police looked at it at night, they really found their clothes floating around the house like "ghosts possessed". Soon, the male owner of this family, Hu Zhixin, a chef of Thyme Hotel who worked in Hongchang City, disappeared.
Yan Shu accidentally received a phone call from Chang Luo. He said he was sure that the female teacher was Xia Hua. Therefore, he will keep his promise to be interviewed. Yan Shu was overjoyed. Chang Luo opens his mouth to tell her about herself and Xia Hua's past:
In college, he was full of youth, cheerful and playful. He has a good friend, Meng Chuan and Meng Chuan. Although I studied physics, it was not boring at all. They like painting and are good at bragging. They all think they are lovers, but Meng Chuan's girlfriend has changed to the ninth one-Zou Lan, his current girlfriend, who is called "lover terminator" by him, and Chang Luo hasn't met the right girl yet. One day, he saw a girl in a plain dress with a lotus in her hand. This picture touched his heart, but it was a pity that he missed it. Later, he met this girl again on campus. After listening to Meng Chuan, he realized that she was Xia Hua, a freshman in Chinese Department. Meng Chuan also said that summer flowers are lofty, and no one can catch up with her.
Chang Luo found her studying in the classroom and tried to put a sketch of her in her bag. He slowly approached Xiahua. But he knew that Xia Hua didn't really accept him. On the eve of graduation, Chang Luo summoned up the courage to confess to Xia Hua, but Xia Hua still seemed to be hesitant. Chang Luo was very sad and decided to go abroad for further study. Xia Hua gave him a water cup as a gift. On the eve of going abroad, he accidentally drank water from this cup, only to find that there was something that Xia Hua didn't say in the gift. He ran to Xia Hua's dormitory in surprise. ...
Yan Shu did not expect that this seemingly indifferent painter also has a passionate emotional world. Chang Luo's story is over. But Yan Shu realized sensitively that Chang Luo didn't tell the whole story.
One night, Chang Luo was overjoyed to find Meng Chuan visiting. Meng Chuan entered the graduate school after graduation, and later started his own business. Now he is the boss of a well-known electronics company. After he married his college sweetheart Zou Lan, he quarreled for three days and five days, and then broke up. Recalling the past, Meng Chuan told Chang Luo that he became "fuzzy" day by day like a ghost newspaper. The abnormal phenomenon in Meng Chuan makes Chang Luo uneasy. ...
Chang Luo went to wait for Ling to get off work, but Ling suddenly fell to the ground in pain on the road and was taken to the hospital by Chang Luo. But the doctor didn't check anything wrong. Chang Luo sent Ling Zhenzhen back to her residence. Teacher Hu, a neighbor, is a middle-aged female teacher with deep eyes. She told Chang Luo that Ling Zhenzhen always had a headache.
Ling Zhenzhen is very wary of Chang Luo moving to her community. Chang Luo gradually fell in love with Petunia, but he often neglected to take care of her: one day Ling saw Petunia hungry and dirty in the community yard and couldn't help taking her home. Chang Luo called around anxiously. Hazel hazel found that dogs often get lost. Chang Luo often asks Ling Zhenzhen to feed him on the grounds that he doesn't take good care of him. Their relationship doesn't seem so stiff. Chang Luo invited Ling to participate in his art exhibition. Ling Zhenzhen agreed. At the exhibition, several paintings were based on Ling Zhen Zhen. Chang Luo had hoped that she would understand his heart after seeing it. But hazel didn't appear until the end of the exhibition. Chang Luo went to hazel's house and asked her why she didn't go. However, hazel hazel, holding the latest issue of Secret News, asked Chang Luo why he used his photos to make up stories.
Chang Luo said she didn't make it up, she is you. Hazel was very angry and said that she really didn't know him. Chang Luo was disheartened by her decisive attitude. He decided to leave Tang Bing and return to the center of the violet.
Just before boarding the plane, Yan Shulai told Chang Luo that Meng Chuan was missing! Chang Luo was extremely shocked. At this time, Lin Weiwei also arrived, hoping Chang Luo could provide some confessions, because the last missing person Meng Chuan had a certified contact, Chang Luo.
Meng Chuan has been working from home since he returned to Wenya. The surveillance video of the building shows that he never left. But he disappeared like the first three people.
In his missing house, the doors and windows are closed, there are some equipment in the workshop, and there are illegible data. Finally, there are two words "bend".
Yan Shu finally got the permission of the editor-in-chief and published some stories of missing cases in Secret News, which became an instant hit.
This time, Lin Wei was not really angry. He asked Yan Shu to find out. Yan Shu had expected, and quickly offered a big meal to make amends. A beautiful woman invited me to dinner, but Lin Wei agreed without complaining. While eating, Yan Shu overheard Lin Weiwei talking with her colleagues and learned that a middle school teacher named Luo Jinian in Jindong suddenly disappeared.
Since the disappearance of his good friend Meng Chuan, Chang Luo has also begun to pay attention to this series of disappearances.
Yan Shu decided to visit Jin Dong. Chang Luo also offered to accompany her. Chang Luo and Yan Shu went to Luo Jining many times, but in the end they had a "ghost-like" adventure. Chang Luo's casual mention made Yanshu feel that he seemed to know Luo Jinian!
Ling fainted again because of a bad headache in class, and was taken to the hospital by her teacher Xiao Jiang. The doctor thought her symptoms were strange, so he suggested that she have an electromagnetic vibration examination of her brain. However, during the inspection, the instrument suddenly broke down and failed to get the result.
Yan Shu will be happy as long as she is with Chang Luo. She couldn't tell whether she was concerned about Chang Luo's affairs out of professionalism or other reasons.
Chang Luo couldn't stand the pestering and promised to finish the story. Chang Luo said that at that time, fortunately, I understood Xia Hua's heart in time and got on the plane late. Later, he learned that Xia Hua refused love and marriage because her parents' marriage failed. In fact, she has unconsciously fallen in love with him. Since then, they have been together. Yan Shu asked him about the funeral, and he turned to ask about Yan Shu's disappearance. Chang Luo acted strangely when Yan Shu mentioned Yan Jinruo's case. Yan Shu asked him if he knew Yan Jinruo. Chang Luo just said flatly, I can't remember. Yan Shu remembers that Meng Chuan often hangs out with Luo. When Luo Jinian and Yan Jinruo are mentioned, Luo seems to know each other often. Of the five known disappearances, there may be three people Chang Luo knew! She can't help but start to be more alert to Chang Luo: Could he have something to do with these disappearances?
Chang Luo intends to pay high medical expenses for Ling Zhenzhen, just when Yan Shu was hit head-on by Chang Luo, she just pulled her out to help. But hazel refused. Yan Shu is wary of Chang Luo and can't help being attracted. Seeing the pure and elegant hazelnut and Chang Luo's infatuation with her, I can't help but have mixed feelings ...
Yan Shu found her good friend, police officer Chen, and found the information of hazel. But as a result, on the account information of hazelnut, the word "summer flower" is clearly written in the name column. The reason for the name change is that when she was 19 years old (sophomore), her parents divorced, and she changed her mother's surname from Xia Hua to Ling Zhen. She is indeed a summer flower! Yan Shu's point of view suddenly 180 degree turn: since hazelnut is really a summer flower, it is impossible for her not to know Chang Luo. Out of curiosity and concern for Chang Luo, Yan Shu proposed to take care of and protect Xia Hua, but asked Chang Luo to tell her how she broke up with Xia Hua.
After a sweet life, Xia Hua's lingering love gradually crushed the playful teenager Chang Luo. Feeling the freedom of Chang 'e, Xia Hua became more and more unhappy. Chang Luo had the idea of running away ... until ...
Yan Shu asked: Until what? Chang Luo kept his mouth shut.
Lin Wei didn't find the missing Zhang Yunyong's family and found that there was nothing unusual about his previous experience. Just as they were about to leave, they found a photo: a group photo at sea. Including Meng Chuan, Yan Jinruo, Luo Jinian, Zhang Yunyong and Hu Zhixin who have disappeared! The most amazing thing is that there is a familiar face: Chang Luo! Chang Luo knew all the missing people! Mastered this clue, Lin Wei did not launch an aggressive inquiry. Chang Luo admitted that after learning of her disappearance through Yan Shu, she did find that she knew Yan Jinruo. I also feel deja vu about Luo Jinian. But before I saw this photo, I had a dim impression of Zhang Yunyong and Hu Zhixin. But he firmly denied having anything to do with their disappearance. Chang Luo also saw this photo for the first time. He didn't. But he remembers the source of the photo-it was on that ship that year. That year, both he and Meng Chuan won the grand prize of "Ten-Day Tour at Sea" while drinking. They took their girlfriends on a trip. This photo is of tourists and people on board. A staff member took photos at that time, but he didn't come and gave them the photos afterwards.
Chang Luo took Xia Hua aboard the "Summer Flower" cruise ship, and it was on that ship that he lost Xia Hua. On that ship, he met a woman who played the violin. Her name is chlamydia. ...
