• Captain Liu recognized that Yang Jian received special treatment and took charge of the case, sending the other officers to handle separate matters.

Yang Jian had Manager Li taken in for falsely accusing him, then advised Captain Liu to seal off the mall and entered with Yan Li to capture the ghost. Jiang Yan found footage showing a shadow assembling a headless mannequin in a fifth-floor clothing store and attacking a shop owner, pointing Yang Jian toward the ghost’s origin.

• Yan Li grabbed the mannequin with his blood-covered hand, while Yang Jian kicked a reanimated female corpse into the wall.
• Yang Jian saw Liu Qiang’s headless corpse enter the store as more people gathered outside, and Liu Qiang switched off the flashlight.

• Yang Jian used his Ghost Domain to capture the true ghost before it could take Yan Li’s arm.

Yang Jian and Yan Li trapped the body-seizing ghost in Yang Jian's Ghost Domain and used Yan Li's ghost blood to restrain it. After sealing the ghost in a gold box, they discussed who would keep it.

• The ghost melted into a pool of blood, and Yan Li sealed it inside a gold box wrapped in foil.
• Yang Jian learned how the containment worked and asked whether he could keep the box.

Yang Jian and Yan Li argued over who would keep the box containing the Headless Ghost, and Yang Jian used his Ghost Domain to secure control of it while preserving their partnership. He then rescued Jiang Yan from the surveillance room and vanished with her.

• Yan Li proposed selling the box and splitting the money, but Yang Jian insisted on keeping it himself because neither of them trusted the other.

Yang Jian discovered that the red paper suppressing his Ghost Eye was cracking, then sensed a vast Ghost Domain passing near his residential complex. After it vanished, he saw a glimpse of a woman’s hands pierced by a golden candlestick and suspected a team of Ghost Tamers had failed to contain the ghost.

Hao Shaowen tortured Yan Li to learn where the box was and sent men after Yang Jian, but his crew became trapped by a supernatural disturbance. Yang Jian emerged from the bedroom, leaving Hao Shaowen and his men facing the Ghost Tamer they had underestimated.
