Why don't you want to be adopted?
Isn't it nice to have parents?
I have parents.
Don't worry.
I have an idea.

Dear passengers,
the train from North of Mingde to Beijing…
We are arrived.
Wake up.
G18888 has arrived its destination at Beijing.
Please take all your belongings,
and get off in order. Welcome to take our train next time.
Don't forget your luggage.
What are you looking for?
Beijing is out of our jurisdiction.
We must find the contact in Beijing first
and get the permit.
Contact in Beijing?
Cipher is…
Are you robbing money?
Do you want to take a taxi?
100 RMB to wherever you want to go.
It’s blackmailing.
It’s the price.
Take it or not.
Hi guy,
hotel?
Special service.
500 RMB for a night.
That's a good price.
It’s blackmailing.
A one-day tour to the Ming Royal Mausoleums and the Great Wall.
Hi honey,
It only takes 268 RMB. You can start the journey now.
It’s blackmailing.
If that's too expensive for you,
why do you come to Beijing?
To hunt demons.
Newspapers!
Everybody needs it.
Chief Liu,
we are…
This is Chief Liu.
Tell me if you need something.
I'm Wang, the secretary of the contact station.
How do you do?
We are agents of third substation of BOT in Mingde City.
Our Director contacted with you before.
We're here to get a permit.
Scan the code.
Two days later!
The suspect will run away
two days later.
You have to wait for your turn.
Too many people are waiting for
a permit in Beijing.
What about accommodation?
It’s on you.
At least offer us a car?
There.
Pay the rent for yourselves.
Madam,
don't be angry.
Don't be angry.
This is how it works here
in a big city
with so many people.
How about
we find her out ourselves.
Without permit,
none of the capture equipment can be used.
Think about it.
The suspect had no identity.
So she will run away,
as long as she hears about us.
We can't follow the procedures of BOT.
We can pretend to be tourists,
and figure it out
in the human’s way.
We still have to scan the code.
Stop!
Hurry up!
It saves money.
Sanlitun!
Uniqlo!
Adidas!
Sanlitun Mall.
Chief,
we're here to work on cases.
Aren't we two pretending to be the tourists?
You have to pretend to care about Beijing’s specialties.
Yes,
but calm down.
Most importantly, my eardrum can't stand it.
Sir,
what's going on,
Beijing’s specialty, traffic jam.
Madam,
I told you to take a bike.
It saves money.
Madam,
I think,
can you let me try it later?
Why?
Because we weren't approved
to use an instrument to erase memories.
I'm afraid that you can't beat people
or call names. It will kill you.
What do you mean?
Nothing.
I studied the process of questioning seriously
at home last night.
Can I have a try?
I beg you
to let me try it.
OK.
Go.
You go first.
Who are you?
Brother,
to be honest,
I'm neither a student,
nor a teacher here.
No strangers can come in.
What are you doing?
Wait a minute.
Brother,
well,
you don't know me,
but I know you.
Of course,
you don't remember me.
Because you see so many candidates every day.
I've been taking the exams here for five years.
I saw you every time.
You have forgotten me.
In the year before last,
I came to take an exam without breakfast.
You gave me two buns.
You have forgotten it.
I can remember a little.
Well,
I came from a small village in Liaoning province.
I’m not rich.
But I has been reading the professional books since I was young.
Although I don't understand,
I never give up my dream.
We've talked about this before.
Remember?
Shame on me.
It's the fifth year.
I failed again.
I can't pass the exam.
I have to go back to my hometown.
But I think I still have to meet a teacher.
Brother,
go ahead.
I have to say
you’re a righteous man.
I'm Xu Zhi's friend in her hometown.
After graduation, Xu Zhi
never came home again.
Her father has Alzheimer’s disease.
Her mother has advanced liver cancer.
It’s poor in her home.
I couldn't find her, either.
I am from
the village neighborhood committee.
It is the neighborhood committee who
asked me to come to Beijing and take her back this time.
And this is…
This is my dumb sister.
She can’t live without me.
I'll buy you dinner later.
Xu Zhi, I have impression on her.
She is a gifted student.
However,
the child is a little silly.
Silly?
Not really silly,
but she had no ambition.
At that time,
a lot of companies wanted to sign her,
but she refused.
At last,
she didn't take her diploma as well and went away.
I don't know
where she has gone.
Did she have
close classmates or friends?
She is on good terms with her roommate,
Xia Hua,
the lead of a girls’ band,
Summer Flower's First Love.
Where is she?
Where?
What are you doing?
Where is she?
Thank you for your support.
You have to work hard, too.
Hello.
Excuse me,
we're the reporters for Entertainment Weekly.
We've been working on a column
called
Lost Singers.
I want to ask you a simple question.
Well,
do you remember a student
named Xu Zhi
in college?
How is she now?
Zhi…
We haven't been in touch since graduation.
I'm sorry. I have an event later.
I can't help you.
I'm very sorry.
We're not journalists, actually.
To tell you the true, I am…
Xu Zhi's husband.
What?
We grew up in the same orphanage.
We played house when we were kids.
I usually played her husband.
I used to
like her very much.
I felt that
when I grew up
I should be with her.
And then?
And then I remember
a couple came to the orphanage that day.
They wanted to adopt me,
but I didn't.
After that night
Xu Zhi replaced me to
be adopted
by the couple.
It has been in my mind all the time
for so many years.
Until the other day,
I learned that I had cancer.
If I can’t see Xu Zhi again,
maybe I don't have the chance anymore.
That's why I came to you.
I want to know
how she is going.
Zhi…
I got in touch with her occasionally.
She didn't let me tell anyone.
But you’re…
very special.
Do you know
where she lives?
I don't know exactly where she lives.
But I can tell you a few bars
where Xu Zhi often sings.
OK.
Thank you.
Besides,
she changed her name.
Now she is Hu Xiao.
Xu Zhi,
long time no see.
You have got the wrong person.
Stop.
Sorry for the mistake.
Excuse me.
You just let her go.
Madam,
we can't let her know we’re looking for her.
Do you forget it that
we're not qualified to work on a case right now?
We can't catch her.
How much time do we have?
About thirty-two hours.
Keep close eyes on her.
As long as we get the permit,
we’ll catch her immediately.
The reception said there was only one room left.
It's all about missions.
Just take it for the night!
Waiter!
Madam,
I think…it's probably
the style of the hotel.
It's quite stylish.
Let's change a hotel.
We may not be able to change.
I have looked into it.
The window faces Hu Xiao's room.
It is the best observation place.
Her life was much worse than Xu Zhi's.
One had a stable life in Mingde City.
The other went to Beijing without job.
Dream and reality
are always two different ways.
Transformers' bilocation cases often happen.
If one is better than the other,
the one who doesn’t live well
will try to murder the one
to get a better life.
Didn’t you go against the wishes of your family
and come to Mingde City?
Actually, you came from a rich family,
but you don't want to listen to your family’s arrangement.
You want to have your own career
in Mingde City.
So
only you know
if life is good or not,
but not the others,
right?
Do you mean
Hu Xiao did not envy Xu Zhi's life?
I only know that
Xu Zhi
likes singing since she was young.
Hi there,
my name is Xu Zhi.
May I sing you a song?
Clay doll

She has the eyebrows and the eyes
But her eyes don't blink
I know you two are great friends,
but now she is the suspect for murdering Xu Zhi
And she has no registered identity.
Once we get the permit,
we must capture her immediately.
Give me some more time.
I'll convince her to cooperate with the investigation.
Believe me.
Don't forget who you are.
You're still under observation.
Madam, trust me.
I’ve already regarded the bureau as home.
It’s hot.
I want to turn on the air conditioner.
Where’s the remote control?
Why are the bracelets so sensitive today?
It can't be broken.
How can it be so sensitive?
Is there anything new?
No.
Nothing.
I won’t interfere with your rest.
Why are you
so restless tonight, Madam?
Drink some water.
No water.
I'll get you some.
Wait for me!
Hi, boss.
Give me a bottle of beer.
Thank you very much!
I…
Sorry about getting the wrong person at night.
It’s very unhealthy
for girls to eat these things.
You live alone,
and should take good care of yourself.
As long as I have something to eat.
It was Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday.
Didn't you go home for the holidays?
I have no home.
What a coincidence!
Me, either.

Clay…
I'm sorry!
You really
looks like my friend.
Anyone can sing this song.
My friend
also likes singing very much.
But the other day
I heard the news.
She passed away.
So, when I saw you,
I was really happy in my heart.
I thought the news was not real.
But now it seems
to be true.
Is your friend
really important to you?
I hadn't seen her for years, actually.
She is the
most important friend in childhood.
She used her freedom to exchange
for mine.
I really want to know
how she is going
so many years.
He’s still not back yet?
He can’t run away?
Then I won't bother you.
I’ll go first.
I'm sorry.
Hao Yun.
What's wrong with you?
You finally admit you know me.
I've changed my name now.
It’s Hu Xiao.
Don't worry too much about me.
I live well.
How could I not worry about you?
Because the other you
has been dead.
Who the hell are you?
I'm from BOT.
Could you please
go back with me for investigation?
What’s wrong with you?
Do you want to run?
Madam,
can you tell me
before you give me a shock?
You don't even take your cell phone with you when you go out.
How do I tell you?
Of course, I thought you had gone.
Doesn't it work automatically when I’m ten kilometers away?
I'm only 500 meters away from you. Can’t you…
This is in Beijing.
It's very complicated.
I had to be decisive.
You do know we’re in Beijing.
Fourthy is still at home. Where can I go?
How could I know if you arranged to meet in Beijing or not?
Wait a moment.
Take it seriously.
I'm working on a case.
Can you respect me?
If you get into trouble in Beijing,
I’ll tell you,
I…
I’ll kick you in the butt.
You are…
Wu…
Wu Aiai?
The secretary-general of the Asia Pacific Demons Association…
is my grandmother.
A boss is a boss.
Take it when it’s hot.
What about our investigation without permit?
It’s easy.
It’s your fault.
If you had said so
we wouldn’t have nothing to investigate.
Shut up.
Our boss
said you might come to Beijing recently.
Well,
how do I know
it’s such a coincidence.
I’m sorry.
Cut the nonsense!
We have a case.
No problem.
Drive it here.
Please.
Are you Xu Zhi’s bilocation?
Does it matter?
We were one,
but after the separation,
we've had our own lives for a long time.
I changed my name, too.
In addition to the body,
we have little in common.
But since you've been out for a long time,
you find life is harder and harder
and then began to regret going out.
So, you killed her
and tried to take over her life.
She did
have a better life.
But I don't envy her at all.
Let alone
to kill her.
Don't quibble any more.
We’ve found the ticket
back to Minde when the crime happened.
Mingde?
It was Xu Zhi who told me to go back.
Xu Zhi received the offer letter
in the summer when she was eighteen.
She wanted to sing,
but her parents didn't agree.
Because of this,
she also had a big quarrel with Wang Yuefei.
Facing a dilemma,
she made the biggest decision of her life.
Bilocation.
After we spilt,
Xu Zhi used traveling as an excuse.
She found a place
and rested for a month.
Xu Zhi asked me to stay in Mingde
and she went to Beijing herself.
She consulted with me that
we could exchange identities
to experience two lives
every once in a while.
But I didn't expect
that six months later,
she was tired of
the life in Beijing without job
She said she no longer loved singing,
and wanted to exchange identities with me again.
Since that exchange,
I started to replace Xu Zhi
to study in other places.
And she started
teaching,
fell in love,
and got married.
I really like singing.
But,
but I'm afraid that BOT will find me.
So, I dare not sign any company.
I just find some small places to sing.
It takes me two hours to transfer from
one place to another
in Beijing every day.
I Shared a room with several people.
I have no families or friends.
I don't know
where the next lunch is every day.
But
as long as I can sing,
I'm already satisfied.
How long have you been out of touch?
We haven’t been in touch for long.
She also stopped talking about life exchanging.
Besides,
until the other day,
Xu Zhi called me suddenly.
She said it’s urgent and asked me to get back to Mingde.
You still keep the guitar.
It was good when we talked at first.
We also played the guitar and sang together.
But she began to
complain about her unhappy family life
after a while.
She said her husband cheated on her.
And she said she wanted
to exchange identities with me again.
She wanted to be free.
She also asked me to visit her family,
her parents and the child.
Put them on!
But this time,
I didn't agree.
Why must I change it as long as you want?
It’s my own life.
You should also be responsible for yours.
I created you.
Let me go.
Without me,
you wouldn't even exist.
We are two independent persons.
If you don't feel happy right now,
you can abandon your present life
and start over again.
No one can always have two choices.
Now that I can create
you,
then I can create
another bilocation.
What are you afraid of?
Give me a hand!
We're about to have a sister.
If you didn't kill her,
why did you escape?
I am an earthworm’s bilocation
without registered identity.
If BOT finds me,
I can't stay in Beijing nor sing.
These are just your words.
Do you have any evidence?
I have a habit that when I play guitar,
I record it.
I went to Xu Zhi's home that day.
I played the guitar
and turned on my phone.
It recorded our conversation.
Why must I change it as long as you want?
It’s my own life.
You should also be responsible for yours.
I created you.
Without me,
you wouldn't even exist.
Let me go.
The truth is clear.
Xu Zhi did commit suicide.
But Hu Xiao has the responsibility of unjustifiable self-defense
and hiding the truth.
Yes,
you're so right.
Chief Wu.
You must punish her severely.
Expel Hu Xiao.
Absolutely.
Chief Wu,
we've already booked a hotel.
You can check in at any time.
Chief Hong, I have a…
And a private room in a restaurant
was also booked.
Let's have a dinner.
No, I won’t.
Chief Hong,
you see, you have hit me.
To make it up for me,
could you do me a favor?
Please.
Hu Xiao stayed in Beijing
for singing.
It's not easy for her.
Yes.
I hope you can give her a chance
and give her a permit.
Of course,
she must do some contribution to atone her crime.
That is going back to her hometown
to visit her foster parents
regularly as Xu Zhi.
Got it.
No problem.
I’ll go first.
Hurry up!
As a man,
you eat eight meals a day.
You are so weak.
The box is too heavy.
What a lame!
Hao Yun.
You only have two minutes,
or I'll leave myself.
Here you are.
At that time, Xu Zhi took it away in the orphanage.
I give it back to you.
What is that?
Your diary.
You could just write a few words.
You kept a diary of your feelings about
who you like and who you hate,
and your parents.
Thank you.
Then…
Have a nice trip.
