Synopsis

[Time Travel] + [Mystery and Crime Solving] + [Wild Imagination] + [Standalone Cases] + [Two Powerful Leads] An old cell phone from over ten years ago lies beside police detective Lin Chen’s bed. One day, in the early hours of the morning, it suddenly rings. Caller: His older brother, Lin Yuan. The contact name hasn’t changed in ten years. Trembling, he answers and hears his brother laugh drunkenly: “Chen, I’ve uncovered a huge secret...” After that, the call from 2014 rings every night at midnight. Separated by ten years, the brothers join forces to hunt down a killer: one uses modern technology, the other street smarts. Together, they piece together a murder disguised as a suicide. The brothers crack one cold case after another! But what the calls use up isn’t call credit. It’s the phone’s battery. The charge drops one bar at a time, like sand running through an hourglass. The voice on the other end grows fainter and fainter, until Lin Chen is afraid to ask: “Brother, how much longer can you hold on?” On the final night, Lin Yuan is cornered by the killer on a rooftop. He laughs into the phone and says, “Chen, I can’t run anymore.” Before falling, he photographs the evidence and sends it to the future in a multimedia message. Lin Chen rushes to the rooftop, but finds only a shattered phone and an unread message from the past. He kneels before the tombstone and opens it. The screen lights up with his brother’s younger face and the words he has heard all his life: “Take care of yourself, you silly boy.” At last, the phone goes completely dark. But that night, he thinks he hears the ringtone again.
