) work together on several manslaughter cases, each of which involves unnatural phenomenons that can only be described as supernatural such as reality-bending, cryokinesis, walking dead/vampirism, time-travel and plant-human hybrids Case 1: A woman named Liao Yongwei (

Case 2: Xueming and Pinyu are called to a string of bodies which showed signs of having been frozen at some point, beginning with two police officers who had been escorting a shoplifter. Nothing seems to match up and their best lead is a mentally disturbed young woman, the same woman that the officers had arrested for shoplifting. Case 3: A vehicle accident fatality was reportedly seen walking out of the ambulance.

It wasn't long before a string of corpses of criminals wanted by the police are found drained of their blood, making Xueming and Pinyu suspect they might be dealing with no ordinary criminal. Case 4: A man discovers he can return to certain points of time, only to learn that time is not something to be messed with Case 5: A series of incidents ultimately leads to Xueming discovering that his lover Li Yiwen (
