1.      Opening Title

As the music at the opening of the play. The pluck of the strings serves as the introduction to the whole piece of music, bringing us into this suspenseful opening animation. A butterfly flies over with the long melody of the cello, as if it is reaching out to us. Telling a confusing case. The technique of musicalizing sound effects is applied incisively and vividly in the title sequence. The bullet pierces the mirror, and the drawing board emerges as a portrait, reaching a climax with the music. The melody of the cello is also used in the film as a "clue" of musical motivation. If you are an original sound lover, you can carefully look for these "mindful thoughts".

This piece of music perfectly interprets the confusing and tense atmosphere of the search scene. The blessings of various sound effects make people involuntarily nervous, as if they were at the scene of the case. Using sporadic note motives to develop this piece of music is like finding the ultimate truth through sporadic clues in a detective. A good movie soundtrack can really make people feel at the scene.
