S.C.I Mystery vol 1 Chapter 32, The Killer Training Camp 04: Band

"Who are you people?" The punk woman slammed the plastic bag in her hand to the ground and several cans of beer rolled out, rolling to the side with a sharp sound of metal scratching the ground.


The girl had already run up a few steps, eyeing Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang warily.

The two men standing in front of the door were also gauging the girl, and although she was dressed rather maturely and differently, it could be seen that she was very young, should be no more than twenty years old, just pale, exaggerated smoky makeup and purple lipstick that made it difficult to see her appearance for a moment. The unusually thin, tight black dress made her figure appear small and her head slightly larger...

Bai Yutang frowned and stared at her for a moment, "You do drugs?"

Not only that girl, but even Zhan Yao was stunned, but Zhan Yao definitely trusted Bai Yutang's judgment in this regard, and upon closer inspection, found that there was something different about that girl - a methhead.

"You... You don't talk nonsense?" The girl panicked and reached out to pick up the beer on the floor, only, the outstretched hand trembled abnormally.

Zhan Yao picked up the can that had rolled to his feet and handed it to her.

The girl snatched it over and glared viciously at the two men, stood up quickly and turned to leave.

"What is your relationship with Qi Lei?" Zhan Yao asked suddenly.

The girl froze, turned slowly and asked, "You guys know my brother?"

Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang exchanged a glance, not expecting that the girl was actually Qi Lei's sister.

"What's your name?" Bai Yutang asked.

Perhaps because of that characteristic aura that belonged to the police, the girl seemed to be a little afraid of Bai Yutang and hesitated a little, “Qi Yue.”

Then, with some urgency, he pursued the question: "What do you want with my brother? He, he's not home."

"What's he up to?" Bai Yutang asked nonchalantly.

"I don't know." Qi Yue collapsed his shoulders in dismay, "I haven't seen him for days, he didn't even go to band practice, and the interview with the signing company went down the drain."

"You don't know where he went?" Bai Yutang pursued.

"Huh..." Qi Yue looked up at Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang, "Looking at you two, you don't look like those debtors, what it is about looking for my brother?"

"Does your brother know how to shoot guns?" Bai Yutang ignored Qi Le's question and proceeded to ask the question.

"Huh?" Qi Yue shrugged playfully, "Are you kidding? My brother only plays bass! Shooting?"

Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang looked at each other again with some hesitation.

"Is this your brother?" Bai Yutang held out the photo for Qi Yue to see.

Qi Yue looked suspiciously and nodded, seemingly sensing something, and opened his mouth somewhat shakily: "Who are you guys? I, my brother, what happened to him?"

Bai Yutang took out his iD and showed them to her.

"The police? You're cops? I see, my brother is sick again isn't he?" Qi Yue was somewhat anxious, "He was sleepwalking there, it wasn't on purpose, and you guys don't make it difficult for him!"

"... Can we talk inside?" Zhan Yao saw Qi Le get a little excited and pointed to the open door of the room.

Qi Yue calmed her breathing for a moment, nodded, and took the lead in the room.




Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao followed suit.

It's a cottage of less than forty square feet, with a simple structure, a cramped and simple kitchen and toilet, and, well, the bedroom. The room was poorly lit, Qi Yue ran to open the curtains and windows, the air was circulating, the room was a mess, there were beer bottles all over the place and moldy fast food lunch boxes...

Qi Yue tidied up somewhat embarrassed, "It's a mess..."

Zhan Yao looked around the house, kitchen, bedroom, toilet... A frown crept up, "You live with your brother?"

"Nope." Qi Yue shook his head, "My brother is too sick to live with someone."

"Is that the sleepwalker?" Bai Yutang stared at several disheveled blood-colored fistprints on the wall, "Your brother fought himself?"

"Phew~~" Qi Yue sat down on the bed, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, reaching out to light the lighter, "He can't take it anymore sometimes, he'll be so cranky, he'll make himself out to be a ghost..." After a few tries, the lighter couldn't light.

"Did your brother share a room with anyone else?" Zhan Yao asked again.

"No!" Qi Yue glared at Zhan Yao, "It's all said and done, he sleepwalks and can't be bothered to share a room with anyone!" Throw the lighter that couldn't be beaten aside.

"You guys get to the point, did something happen to my brother?"

...

"He's suspected of a serial murder, and, well, he's dead." Bai Yutang said slowly.

Qi Yue froze and looked up at the two men somewhat trancey, Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang both somewhat intolerant.

With a swift beneath the head, Qi Yue took the cigarette out of her mouth and threw it away, and took out another cigarette case, pulling out a cigarette and taking it into her mouth. Then, she turned to find the lighter that she had just thrown away by her, lowering her head, but the tears had already fallen out in large globs, it was hard to pick up the lighter, but the face was already spent, sitting on the ground, Qi Yue desperately wiped the tears, "I had expected this day, it was all because of his illness!"

"Why didn't he go to the doctor when you're sick?" Bai Yutang asked. '

"He did! The medication the doctor prescribed for sleepwalking he took all the time, but it didn't help at all!" Qi Yue gritted her teeth and held back tears, "He was getting scarier by the day! I can't even tell if he's a bad guy in the first place or not, just playing nice during the day!"

"Your brother..." Zhan Yao crouched down and gazed at Qi Yue, "Did he say something about feeling like there was another person living inside of him?"

Qi Yue looked up in surprise, "How do you know?"

"What exactly is his condition like?" Zhan Yao continued to ask, "Which doctor diagnosed him with sleepwalking?"

"He... He would go to sleep, wake up, and it would be like a changed person, not like my brother at all... By the next morning, it would be back to being the same again, and my brother would often tell me that he felt like there was another person living in his own body." Qi Yue wiped away her tears, "My brother has seen many doctors, all saying he is sleepwalking."

"Cat'er, what's wrong?" Bai Yutang noticed that Zhan Yao's face didn't seem to look well and asked with some concern.

"Your brother went to see, what doctor was it?" Zhan Yao continued to ask.

"At first, it was just the doctor in the infirmary... Then, it was to the psychiatrist..." Qi Yue puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Yao sighed, "Have you guys been to a psychiatrist?"

Qi Yue thought about it and shook her head, “Then, where can I look?"

Zhan Yao stood up and was silent for a moment, staring at the red bloodstains on the wall and saying slowly, "Your brother is not mentally ill, he's had a mental illness, to be exact... He has a Split Personality."

"Personality... Split?" Qi Yue inexplicably looked up at Zhan Yao, "What... What do you mean?"

"Meaning, your brother does have another person living inside him." Zhan Yao looked at Qi Yue, "The one who came out at night, was not your brother, but another person, who was created by your brother's subconscious, but afterward he has developed into a being or a personality that your brother cannot control."

"I... I don't understand." Qi Yue shook his head in confusion.

"Your brother isn't a bad guy, just shared a body with a bad guy." Bai Yutang briefly summarizes.

...

"Do you mind?" Zhan Yao asked the dumbfounded Qi Yue somewhat worriedly.

Qi Yue looked up, "How did my brother die?"

... Zhan Yao was stunned by the question and opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

"I shot him." Bai Yutang said calmly.

Qi Yue looked at him somewhat surprised.

"Uh... Your brother was, at the time, using a sniper rifle..." Zhan Yao was somewhat anxious and wanted to explain.

Qi Yue, however, interrupted him, "Was it at night?"

"Hmm." Zhan Yao nodded helplessly.




"That is to say, the bad guy you shot to death is the one who lives inside my brother, right?" Qi Yue asked.

Bai Yutang was speechless.

"My brother has wanted to die for a long time." Qi Yue lowered her head and stopped talking.

Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang got out of the low-rent house and walked towards the car.

Along the way, Bai Yutang didn't say a word, and Zhan Yao followed him.

Getting in the car and adjusting the rearview mirror, Bai Yutang started the car, "Next go to the event room and find the band guys."

Could not get an answer from Zhan Yao.

Turning his head, he saw Zhan Yao sitting quietly, watching him intently.

Bai Yutang smiled bitterly, "What's wrong?"

Still silent, after a moment of silence, Zhan Yao asked seriously, “Little Bai, how many people have you killed?"

Bai Yutang froze, turned back and stared ahead, "Qi Lei is the 49th."

Zhan Yao was still serious: "You remember everything?"

Bai Yutang was speechless, looking ahead somewhat blankly and nodding.

"So how many people have you saved?" Zhan Yao continued to ask.

... Bai Yutang turned his face to look at Zhan Yao, eyes meeting, and Zhan Yao reached up to straighten Bai Yutang's hair, "You don't even remember, do you?"

Bai Yutang grabbed Zhan Yao's hand and whispered, “Cat'er ..."

Zhan Yao's gaze didn't move away and said slowly, "Yutang, you are so kind."

Letting go of Zhan Yao's hand, Bai Yutang leaned in low and laughed, "Aren't you afraid of my bestiality?"

Zhan Yao still looked at him frankly, "If I have to kill to save someone, I will kill too."

"Cat'er, are you comforting me?" The bewilderment in Bai Yutang's eyes had faded and he was back to the same Bai Yutang.

Zhan Yao sighed in relief and smiled at him.

Gently rubbing his fingers against Zhan Yao's chin, Bai Yutang lowered his head and kissed him tenderly...

This time, Zhan Yao didn't scold him, didn't hit him, but just sat quietly, closed his eyes, and let Bai Yutang interpret the kiss in such a way that it was endlessly lingering...

Although he didn't reach out very well, although it was always himself who was protecting him, Bai Yutang understood that the cat was trying hard to guard himself in his clumsy and pleasing way.

But the point is, there's always an angel around you who's willing to save you... How can you not be in love with such a tender heart?

The long kiss ended and Bai Yutang let go of Zhan Yao, although he was not yet satisfied, the cat was once again so tame.

Zhan Yao turned his head to face out the window. He didn't have to look at him to know that some rat must have had his tail up in pride. His face is so hot.

Bai Yutang started the car and looked at the side face of Zhan Yao in the rearview mirror, the cat, ears red.

Inside the closed car, there was a faint ambiguity in the air, so not embarrassing. The two men were speechless all the way, but the heart is seven up and eight down, the waves of fear.

When they came to the door of the small red three-story building mentioned by Mr. Jia, they heard music coming from the second floor, like someone playing drums and guitar.

They walked up the stairs, and without much effort, found the last activity room on the west side of the second floor, with the door hidden and the word "Boiling Point" on the door sign.

Bai Yutang pushed open the door, and several people inside looked up at the same time, somewhat surprised at Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao who walked in.

The room was filled with musical instruments of various styles.

There were a total of three people in the room, a woman sitting in front of a drum set, dressed similarly to the way Qi Yue was just now, except that she was taller. Next to him, was a tall, skinny boy with long hair, holding a guitar. The other one, surprisingly, was the middle-aged man who had just been beaten up by Qi Yue in the Japanese restaurant.

"... Mr. Bai-zi?"

Before Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao could open their mouths, the middle-aged man called out and went up to greet Bai Yutang warmly.

Bai Yutang was stunned. He had grown up so much that it was the first time someone called him "Bai-zi".

Behind him, Zhan Yao also had a curious look on his face.

"Forgot to introduce myself." The middle-aged man took out his business card, "My name is Zhang Hua, I'm an economist with Bai Group's record company," he said. I met Master Bai at the banquet last night."

"Oh." Bai Yutang was completely clear, turning out to be Big Brother's employee, "I have nothing to do with Bai Group, you don't have to call me Young Master Bai, I'm here to investigate the case."

Bai Yutang replied nonchalantly.

Seeing the music economist named Zhang Hua's face go white and red, it was not embarrassing, Zhan Yao held back a laugh until it hurt inside. Bai Yutang is like that. He doesn't like to use any skills in his speech, and he can say whatever he wants.

Without waiting for Zhang Hua to reply, Bai Yutang looked up at the two band members behind him and asked, "Are you all from Boiling Point?"

The two men looked at each other and nodded.

"Police." Bai Yutang took out his credentials, "I would like to ask you for some information about Qi Lei."




“Qi Lei?" The girl who was playing the drums jumped up, "Where's that kid? So many days without leaving us with a word?" The guitar-playing boy next to him was obviously much calmer, he patted the excited girl, turned his face to Bai Yutang and said, "My name is Cai Jie, she's the guitarist, she's Chen Yu, she's the drummer, Qi Lei is the bassist and his sister Qi Yue is the lead singer. About Qi Lei, is something wrong?"

Zhang Hua also interjected, "Yeah, just waiting to get signed, and the band is two people short."

"Signed?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhang Hua with some puzzlement.

"Oh! Because of their strength and image, the record company wanted to sign them, give them a record, only, it was agreed that they would be signed today, and the people were not together.”

"It seems that you and Qi Yue had an argument at the Japanese restaurant just now." Zhan Yao asked Zhang Hua, "Because of what?"

"Uh, this..." Zhang Hua was somewhat hesitant.

"Hmph, he's definitely asking Qi Yue to sign on her own." The drummer, Chen Yu, said, "The record company was looking at Qi Yue's good voice, not us few second-rate musicians."

“Little Yu!" Cai Jie stopped and turned his head to ask, "What the hell happened to Qi Lei? Even the police are here?"

"My brother, he's dead."

The door was pushed open again, and Qi Yue walked through the door.

"What!" The three people in the room who didn't know the news were in great shock at the same time.

Qi Yue, however, ignored them and walked straight to Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao, saying, "I was so excited just now that I forgot to say something very important." A laptop was handed over, "My brother has been getting a lot of emails lately, mail that says it can free him."

"Email?"

Ma Han checked the crime scene, had a great deal to gain, and stormed back to the S.C.I. ready to report to Bai Yutang, stepped out of the elevator to see a young policeman dressed as a patrolman hovering in the corridor in front of the S.C.I.

"Who are you looking for?" Ma Han glanced up and down at the little cop, sure he hadn't seen it.

"Uh... I..." The policeman looked nervous when he saw Ma Han.

"What's your business?" Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Ma Han asked again.

"I'm... I'm trying to find..."

"Looking for someone? Looking for who?"

"Find... Bai... Bai."

"Bai?" Ma Han frowned, "You are asking for our captain, huh?"

"No... Count, count..." The little cop turned around and ran away.

"Hey! Hello..." Ma Han was baffled.

"What's wrong?" Behind him, Gong-sun stepped out of the forensics room, a thick stack of papers in his hands.

"Ohhhhhh, there was a really weird little cop just now."

Gong-sun looked in the direction Ma Han pointed, not finding a figure, "By the way, how was the investigation today?"

"Oh! A great deal!" Ma Han immediately came in high spirits.

"Such a coincidence?" Gong-sun laughed, "I'm harvesting joy here too."
