Midnight.

Lisa is sitting inside a police car as she writes with her head down on a soft leather notebook in her hand.

"Serial killer T:

1. Male, 25-35 years old, fit body, average looks;

2. Education: high school or university studying a major;

3. Career used as disguise: computer engineer, watchmaker, or other skilled type; may have beginners or intermediate professional certificate;

4. Address: a mid-range apartment in a small residential area in the city between 2nd and 3rd Ring Road;

5. Drives a black Citreon C-Quatre;

6. Experienced a big emotional impact in the past three months such as losing his lover or a family member;

7. Disregards life, and may be diagnosed with a disease, which is why he will sacrifice everything to complete his plan. "

She thinks for a moment, and then writes at the bottom: "Finding the common. trait of the victims, and getting a grasp of his patterned actions will be the only way to crack the plan. "

The car door opens Bambam breathes out a breath of air and sits inside." Her whole family is not here. The neighbours don't know where they've gone to either. Their cell phones are shut off probably because it's too late. What should we do now?"

Lisa pauses and then says, "There's no helping it. We'll have to wait here."

Bambam nods. They both keep their eyes on the building up front. The deceased young drug addict Chen Xi Xian's past girlfriend's family lives up there. It's just that the apartment is completely dark.

They've been busy all day; they've asked everyone that they can, and have searched all the places that they can. Besides the fact that both victims are "jobless," they have not found any relation between the two of them.

Everyone knows that Killer T will definitely kill another person during noon tomorrow. They are on a race with T. They must use every minute and second to find out his pattern before he acts.

Therefore, they need to dig deeper.

Lisa and Bambam are investigating Chen Xi Xian's girlfriend, who died in a car accident. Chatterbox has rushed to the train station to catch Zheng Cheng Zhi's younger brother Zheng Cheng Da who is returning from another city. Cold Face is researching on Chen Xi Xian's old hometown and his relatives. Jungkook is looking up all details regarding Killer T's car.

"Lisa, why did you cry during your run today?" Bambam asks.

Lisa keeps silent for a second, and then turns to look at him, "I'll tell you, but you have to promise to keep it a secret."

"Mm!"

The night is getting darker and darker. This big parking lot is very quiet; there are probably only the two of them here.

Lisa finishes, leans her head towards the chair, and looks straight.

It's rare to see Bambam with a solemn face like right now as he stares at her without a word.

"Lisa, give me a hug," he says, "I'd never imagined that you would be this infatuated."

And at this instant, a car drives into the parking lot and parks at an area that's rather far away from them. The information they have shows that the Zhou family does not have a car; this must be some tenant who's returning late, so Lisa doesn't pay too much attention to it. She smiles, "Why are you getting all mushy-gushy?"
