The next day, Dr. Rivers and the other officers return to the scene of the crime. Rivers tells them that the monster was seen the day before, and that they should go back and investigate. He tells them to take a picture of the monster with a recorder in their jacket pocket and lure it out. He says that the intuition of the artist is unreliable, but he has a plan that can help them clear their name. They should go in as a painter and lure the monster out with the recorder. Rivers says that if the artist surrenders, he should drop his weapons and cut himself. The dagger, he says, is still the best weapon, but it's hard to beat the elite of the special forces. At least he's gained something from this. The doctor tells the officers that the dna belongs to a man named Wang Zhang, who abandoned his family and moved to a lake 20 years ago to do some still-life sketching. Rivers asks if they've caught him yet, and they say that he seems attached to the lake and won't leave it. Rivers explains that his intuition isn't useful at all, but that he has come to realize that he was being demoted when he was assigned to the police department.
