S.C.I Mystery vol 1 Chapter 31, The Killer Training Camp 03: Students

The people in the ballroom left in droves after the police had registered.


Gong-sun rubbed his brow and left the lobby, heading for the elevator.

Looking at the elevator as full as a can of sardines, Gong-sun felt a little sick to his stomach and shook his head, deciding he'd better take the stairs down.

Pushing open the stairwell door, just about to go down... Suddenly, the arm gave way to a yank.

Gong-sun didn't even have time to let out a gasp before he was pulled into the unmanned corner corridor.

Looking up, he saw Bai Jintang appear before him with a smile.

Gong-sun looked up and glared at him, "What the hell do you want?"

Bai Jintang shrugged, "Oh, you did me a big favor just now, I was trying to thank you."

Gong-sun lifted his head and stared into Bai Jintang's eyes for a moment before saying softly, "You want to thank me, that's easy."

Bai Jintang faintly froze and was about to lower his head to think of kissing again, when he saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and instinctively reached out and grabbed Gong-sun's wrist, which was raised to half-empty... There was a shiny scalpel in sight.

"Oi oi oi," Bai Jintang hurriedly took two steps back, "Why do you light the knife when you can't move?"

"Don't you want to thank me?" Gong-sun said wickedly, "Exactly, I've wanted to try vivisection for a long time!"

"Huh~~," Bai Jintang laughed back without anger, "Do you know, I just love you like this!"

"Bastard! I'll kill you!"

"As you wish, you can have your life if you want it..."

"Who wants...? Get your hands off me!

...

In the stairwell, Ding Zhaohui took out a handkerchief and handed it to Ding Zhaolan: "Here! Wipe your mouth..."

Ding Zhaolan took it, wiped his drool, and handed it back, "Give it back! Wipe the nosebleed..."

"But then again, the boss is really..."

"Rascal ah ~~~~"

"I'll walk you back." Bai Jintang said not without tenderness.

"Who wants you to walk them back?" Gong-sun pushed Bai Jintang away hard and turned around to leave.

"It's okay, I'm going there by the way anyway!" Bai Jintang pulled the Gong-sun to drag it back and forth, "There's a special lift here."

Gong-sun was still wondering, "What do you mean, "Just in time?" until he was pulled downstairs by Bai Jintang and crammed into the car.

Watching Bai Jintang put the key to the door of the next room, Gong-sun's mouth opened wide in shock.

It was too late to say anything, and the Ding family twins, who hadn't known when they were coming, took the key to the next door.

Furious...




"You... You guys..."

Bai Jintang pushed the stunned Gong-sun into the room and closed the door. Looking up, there were huge floor-to-ceiling windows, tightly closed curtains.

"You seem to be living in the police station these days don't you?" Pull Gong-sun to the window, reach out and pull back the curtain, and there's a bright night scene.

Gong-sun stared blankly at the dilapidated building across the street, which was originally black and cavernous, but became brightly lit, showing a busy scene of renovation.

"This area is very developed, I've bought it, there..." Saying that, reaching out and pointing at the otherwise creepy window, he said, "The office of the president of the White Group!"

"..." Gong-sun was a little uncomfortable, "You, don't have to..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Bai Jintang held out a finger and wiggled it, "The visual angle is best there, you can see me and I can see you. Every night, you can sleep with peace of mind."

...

Gong-sun turned back to look at him with some seriousness for the first time, only to hear Bai Jintang add, "That's right, I put a hole in the wall!"

Looking in the direction he was guiding, Gong-sun noticed that a huge doorway had been added to the wall at some point that wasn't there, and two rooms - through.

... “Bai Jintang!

“Bai Jintang! Get the hell out of here! You psychopath!"

"That's the first time you've called me by my name!"

"Fvck off! Get the hell out of here!"

...

It was night, and Bai Jintang was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. After Gong-sun threw him out, he plugged the hole with furniture, "Ughhhhhh" sighing out the 30th breath of the night - this guy, why is he so awkward?

The next morning, Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao, fresh and refreshed, arrived at S.C.I. and were called into the director's office by Bao Zheng.

"What do you think?" Bao Zheng tossed a document to the two.

Opening it up, and sure enough, it's last night's case and several other sniper rifle killings.

"Not like a pro." Bai Yutang flipped through the papers, "Not a very professional approach!"

Bao Zheng nodded, "That's what worries people the most!"

Zhan Yao looked at the profile and frowned, "That killer yesterday was a student from M University? Qi Lei, he's only just turned twenty?"

Bao Zheng continued to nod, "There's something strange about this case, Dr. Wilson and Jon Jin are both foreign celebrities, the incident is getting more attention, you guys give me half a month to solve it!"

Bai Yutang scratched his head, "Bao Bureau, you're giving time limits again?"

Zhan Yao also echoed off to the side, "That's right."

Bao Zheng looked at the two laughingly, "Don't you two little kids, don't give me one song, solve the case in half a month, and clean the toilet for a year if you're one day late!"

The S.C.I. congregation then saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao walking in furiously.

“Ma Han!"

“Captain?"

Ma Han saw Bai Yutang's pale face and immediately ran over to do as he was told.

"Take the tech team to the four crime scenes!"

"Yes!"

"Wang Shao Zhang Long, go and investigate the victims, and that so-and-so professor and so-and-so star."

"Yes!"

"Xu Qing, go find out where the gun came from!"

"Yes."

"You have half a month to solve the case!"

"Huh?"

Bai Yutang looked at the men in front of him and said with a smile, "If you are one day late and you'll go sweep the toilet for me for a year!"

The people rushed to scatter the animals...

Zhan Yao glanced at a certain mouse that was angry with his men and muttered in a low voice, "Hmph, I'm a villain!"

Bai Yutang squinted at him, “Dead-Cat, what are you muttering?"

"What do we do?" Zhan Yao asked with a crooked head.




"Whew..." Sighing, Bai Yutang picked up the information on his desk, "Go to M University and check the bottom of that Qi Lei!"

University M, a private, third-rate university, has students with completely different habits and dress code than University C. Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao came to the law school office - yes, Qi Lei was a law student.

Jia Zhengyan, a young teacher in his thirties, was the class teacher of the 04th Law 2 class where Qi Lei was located.

He warmly received Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang, who, according to his introduction to Qi Lei, was a very out-of-touch student who had lived in the dorm for six months before moving out to rent a room of his own.

"Why? Not at odds with the people in the dorm?" Bai Yutang asked.

“Yeah..." Jia Zhengyan hesitated and said, "Qi Lei is sick and can't live with his classmates."

"What's wrong?"

"... Sleepwalking..."

"Sleepwalking?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao looked at each other in surprise.

"Can you be specific?" Zhan Yao asked with great interest.

"Of course." Teacher Jia nodded, “Qi Lei used to get up in the middle of the night many times and attack his roommate, he would set fires and hit his roomate... The most serious one almost smothered himself out of bed."

"How do you guys know he's sleepwalking?" Zhan Yao frowned.

Teacher Jia sighed, “Qi Lei was not very sociable, but he was very gentle, according to his roommate when he attacked people at night, he was like a new person, fierce and abnormal... Besides, afterward, Qi Lei doesn't remember what happened at all."

Bai Yutang asked Teacher Jia a few more questions, during which Zhan Yao didn't say a word and frowned in thought.

After the questioning, Zhan Yao finally spoke, "Where does he live, does the teacher know?"

"Oh, it's recorded on the contact form, I'll copy the address to you."

Jia Zhengyan took out a note and wrote down his address, saying, "You can ask the people in the band for details, they should know best.

"The band?"

"Qi Lei is very talented musically, plays bass very well, and with a few other students at the school has a band called "Boiling Point", which is a little famous at the school, and I heard that a record label recently wanted to release a record for them."

"Where can we find the rest of the band members?"

"Oh, in the school's activity room, that's the red three-story building in the back."

Jia Zhengyan looked at his watch, "They practice there every afternoon, you can hear the ringing when you enter the building."

The two men walked out of the law school office building. Very directionless, Zhan Yao made three turns in situ, trying to find that what-have-you activity room.

Bai Yutang looked at his watch: "Cat'er, it's twelve o'clock, it's not right, go after dinner."

... Zhan Yao was alerted by Bai Yutang before he felt his stomach already rumbling.

"What to eat?" After another three turns in situ, Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Yao toward the school gate before he turned himself around.

"Where to?"

"When I came in just now, I saw a Japanese restaurant that looked really good in front of the school."

"Japanese cuisine?" Zhan Yao got excited when he said, "SUSHI! SUSHI! I want a salmon taco."

"Good, good, salmon too roll."

"And a sardine roll!"

"Hmmmmm, sardine roll."

"And salmon!"

“Yeah, salmon.”

"Snapper sashimi!"

"How come it's all fish-based food, you're such a cat?"

"Washabi!"

"No mustard!"

"Why?"

"No one with a bad stomach!"

"Huh!"




The two walked into a Japanese restaurant in front of the school.

"That's right, Cat'er." Bai Yutang found a more secluded table and sat down, "You were distracted just now, were you on to something?"

Zhan Yao took a seat across from him and took the menu to order, "I'm not quite sure yet, just suspicious."

"Suspect what?"

“Yeah..."

"Say it! Dead-Cat, stop keeping me in suspense."

"I don't think Qi Lei was in a state like sleepwalking at that time." Zhan Yao took his chopsticks and poked at the eel rice in front of him.

"How so?"

"In general, the chances of somnambulism occurring in adults are very small, and, for the most part, there is little purpose in it, as far as manifestations go, i.e., a random walk or something, and the state should be dazed." Zhan Yao pondered, continuing to poke the eel rice.

"His teacher said he was unusually aggressive and didn't know what he had done after the act." Bai Yutang stared at the poor bowl of eel rice.

"This is the strangest!" Zhan Yao says, "Sleepwalking is primarily a result of activity in the human cerebral cortex. Brain activity, including both "excitatory" and "inhibitory" processes. Normally, when a person sleeps, the cells of the cerebral cortex are in a state of inhibition. Sleepwalking occurs if one or more sets of nerve cells that govern movement are still excited at this time. The range of sleepwalking actions tends to be the environment with which the sleepwalker is usually most familiar and the actions that are often repeated..."

"Cat'er." Bai Yutang tapped the bowl in front of Zhan Yao's face with his chopsticks, "You're starting to not speak Chinese again."

Zhan Yao rolled his eyes and picked up a large sushi roll, "Simply put, a sleepwalker is unlikely to have a major change of temperament! And, some time afterward, he'll remember and feel that what happened in the dream is what really happened." After he said that he opened his mouth and bit the food.

Bai Yutang thought for a moment, "You mean, he did it on purpose?"

Zhan Yao shook his head and said while chewing his sushi, “Yeah... Not like that."

"What's that?"

"... I can't confirm it now, so I wanted to see his living situation." Zhan Yao continues to struggle with food.

"... Shouldn't be another lunatic, right?" Bai Yutang sighed helplessly, "How come so many people aren't normal these days?"

Zhan Yao pointed at him with the fried shrimp: "White Mouse! Don't you ever say the word 'lunatic' again?"

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Before Zhan Yao's words could be finished, a table not far away was overturned, and then came the sound of a scuffle.

"Do you have the guts to say that again?"

The two men turned their heads to look around and saw a table near the door where two men were arguing.

One man grabbed another man by the collar, cursed viciously for a while, then punched and kicked.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao were horrified to find out that the person who beat the man was a woman, and the other person who was beaten so badly that he could do nothing about it, was a man.

The woman let out a black leotard, dressed a bit punk, and after beating the man, spat hard and turned to leave.

"Hiss..." the man who had been beaten to the ground rose up, cursing, "It's just a school band, it's like something..."

Dropping the money, turning around and walking away too.

After eating, Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang first found Qi Lei's place near the school, following the address that Teacher Jia had copied to them.

It was a low-cost room in a group home, and the two walked upstairs, knocked on the door, and there was no one there.

"It seems he lives alone." Zhan Yao looked around for a moment, "Go get the administrator for the key?"

Bai Yutang waved his hand, "Where to go to find some kind of administrator? It's too much trouble." After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked it towards the middle of the door.

"Clang," the gate hole opened wide.

The odd smell that pounded into their faces made both of them cringe and were about to head inside when they heard a loud cry, "Stop, who are you people?"

The punk girl who had just beaten someone up in the restaurant was the one who stood not far away and looked at them angrily.
