The performance center was rented by a reality show production team to record a music selection program. The team stipulated that contestants were not allowed to leave during the selection period. However, on the pre-recording stage for the third public performance, the group named "Sparkling Team" had only Chen Qin perform, while the other three members were missing.

The agent assistant went to the dormitory to look for the other three and found that all three were dead, their bodies lying on the sofa in different postures. Splattered bloodstains were visible everywhere on the sofa. Du Cheng, captain of the criminal police detachment of the Beijiang Branch, led his team to the crime scene.

After a brief understanding of the case, he immediately noticed that the life garbage in the dormitory had been collected, and he immediately told Jiang Feng to go after it. Team member Li Han was arranged by Du Cheng to re-examine the surveillance footage. The simulated portrait artist Shen Yi had arrived at the crime scene early.

He restored the portraits of the three deceased before their death and found that their facial expressions were calm, which did not conform to the characteristic wide-open eyes of extreme shock after experiencing something terrifying. Besides being deliberately done by the killer, there was another possibility: the three deceased died in a state of high mental relaxation. In addition, the faces of the three deceased were deliberately smeared.

This smearing allowed the killer to achieve a strong emotional release, indicating that the killer had strong emotional demands towards the three deceased. Afterward, Du Cheng and Shen Yi went to see the surveillance footage with Li Han. Although the entire dormitory was equipped with surveillance cameras, none of them captured the scene at the time of the crime, let alone the killer's face. Shen Yi is good at observing details.

The minute Chen Qin, the only survivor, stayed in the blind spot allowed Shen Yi to discover, through the surveillance footage, a shadow passing over the sofa. Shen Yi returned to the crime scene, and Li Han assisted from the surveillance room, thus discovering subtle features of the killer on a reflective surface. Meanwhile, Du Cheng questioned Chen Qin.

Chen Qin denied killing them and said that the other three were rich second-generation who would bully him when they drank too much. At first, Du Cheng didn't believe him, but when he saw the bruises on Chen Qin's body, Du Cheng was also speechless. Regarding the minute spent in the surveillance blind spot, Chen Qin gave a reasonable answer.

He was hesitating whether to withdraw at the time, but having worked so hard for so long, and with the public performance the next day, he ultimately decided to persist. According to the forensic examination, the three deceased had ingested a large amount of marijuana before death, which could also explain why their expressions were so calm before death.

When asked if Chen Qin used drugs, he immediately denied it, but he admitted that the three others had forced him to use them, and after he refused, they beat him even harder. After multiple attempts to adjust the lipstick color, Shen Yi finally determined the killer's lipstick color. Next, Li Han was responsible for matching the lipstick shade.

Jiang Feng found a bloody switchblade in the life garbage bag, which was confirmed to be the murder weapon after testing, but there were no Chen Qin's fingerprints on it, and the fingerprints found had no criminal record. Li Han found that the lipstick shade was a pre-sale model, and the manufacturer had only given samples to agent Fang Ling, with no other shipments made.

The police immediately found Fang Ling's car parked at the Lingpu Hotel, but the registration information showed it belonged to Fang Ling's sister, Fang Fei. Du Cheng led his team to the hotel and arrested Zhou Jimi, a top idol, and idol agent Fang Ling. Fang Ling had taken drugs at the time and fainted after only a few steps.

Fang Ling denied killing them and said that the three were victims of a backlash from something evil, and as for the lipstick, she had given it to them. Shen Yi suspected that a giraffe doll could hide a person. Following this clue, they found a Chen Qin fan named Yuan Zhaodi.
