Synopsis:Sit Dan Yan (Johnson Lee) seems like an ordinary police officer at first glance, but he secretly holds a special talent in solving the trickiest cases. Taking after his grandfather, Dan Yan inherits the talent in metaphysics and is able to gain answers to murder cases at the most critical moments. As well, Dan Yan has the help of good friend, Leung Sing Kau (Oscar Leung) – a talented individual who has sources in both the police and triad worlds. Together with his boss, Che Gui Fei (Joey Meng), who has an educational background in criminal psychology, the trio makes a highly compatible team in the law enforcement world.
While Gui Fei is an outstanding leader at work, she is also a very strict yet caring sister to Che Gui Mei (Harriet Yeung 楊詩敏) and Che Gui Kwan (Fred Cheng 鄭俊弘). Constantly worried about her younger siblings’ well being, Gui Fei enlists Dan Yun’s help in breaking up the love triangle between Gui Mei, Sing Kau, and Ti Leung Chi (Rebecca Zhu).
Unfortunately, while Gui Fei is focused on helping her sister, a series of abductions occur in the city. However, the kidnapping case brings back unwanted memories for Dan Yun, who recalls a similar case with the same modus operandi from his past.

Penny Chan challenges himself, becomes a zombie

TVB artiste Penny Chan (陳國峰) in TVB series Officer Geomancer (八卦神探) plays a breakthrough role, portraying a reporter who because his girlfriend Elaine Tsang was gang raped by close friends Alan Wan (溫家偉), Brian Tse, and others and thus committed suicide, decided to seek revenge, turning into a zombie biting his enemies to death. Fully able to have portrayed the insanity and fierceness of the zombie, he bluntly expressed that the role is extremely challenging: "I did watch zombie films for reference and I also looked for the distinctive features of a zombie. In addition with the special effects makeup, the end result is really good. (A zombie in today's society is too surreal?) Not really, actually in the United States, there has been a human-biting incident, there are some psychotropic drugs that will lead one to become mentally insane. 

Moreover, Penny expressed that this time he has a lot of psychological acting scenes, and also has chasing and fighting scenes with Otto Chan (陳志健). Although he doesn't appear in a great number of episodes, he is still really grateful to have this opportunity.

Rebecca Zhu shows off chest in venting scene

In the new episode of TVB series Officer Geomancer (八卦神探) that was broadcasted last night (January 8), Rebecca Zhu (朱晨麗) had a breakthrough performance. One scene talked about her feeling uneasy seeing William Chak (翟威廉) and Harriet Yeung (楊詩敏) dating and venting her anger. Sporting a low-cut shirt, she vented her anger and coordinated with the camera shot, unrestrainedly revealing her chest. In addition with her confessing her love to William while crying, it can be said that this was a huge challenge for her, and has became a popular topic amongst netizens.

Reporters contacted Rebecca, she said: "Huh? That exaggerated? (Praising your body?) I don't know what to say, I guess I can only say thank you. (The result was very revealing) The plot required it, I haven't watch it yet, have to go stream it online. But I hope everyone won't just pay attention to my body. I actually did a lot of homework for this role. I've practiced a lot on my Cantonese so I am really happy when people praise me."
