S.C.I Mystery vol 1 Chapter 52, The Magic Killer 07: Fog

It was almost three in the morning when Bai Yutang started the car and prepared to take Zhan Yao back to his apartment.


"Hehehe~~" Zhan Yao suddenly laughed, seeming to think of something funny, causing Bai Yutang, who was nearby, to follow suit, "What's up, Cat'er? Why are you so happy?"

Zhan Yao turned his face to look at him, "I thought about Bai Chi and Zhao Zhen when they were kids just now."

"Heh heh heh," Bai Yutang also couldn't help but laugh, "It's quite funny indeed, I didn't think there was such a sinful relationship."

"That Zhao Zhen, it's even worse than when you were a kid!" Zhan Yao held back a smile.

" Dead-Cat, how was I bad when I was a kid?" Bai Yutang protested.

"You're not bad? Do you remember..." Zhan Yao recalled while laughing, "That time, you threw the two brothers next door into the dirt in the flower bed and watered them, saying you were just trying to make them grow up faster."

"Haha~~," Bai Yutang also laughed out loud, "Remember, remember, what happened when you were eight years old... Those two brothers had trampled on all the flower seedlings you planted, so I taught them a lesson."

"The teacher who taught history in high school..." Zhan Yao said, "You glue her to the toilet seat!"

"Poof, poof, poof," Bai Yutang laughed even harder, "He was later lifted up with the toilet and taken to the hospital..."

Zhan Yao smiled and covered his stomach, "He had the toilet stuck to his butt... He couldn't lift his pants, so he just walked out of the toilet, and all the people saw it..."

Bai Yutang nodded, "Who told him to accuse you of cheating and make you stand for a penalty... The sticky toilet was a bargain for him."

"And then that mysterious homemade tear gas bomb in his office, did you put it there?" Zhan Yao asked, "It seems that this matter is still an unsolved mystery of the school until now."

"Huh... I also locked his door and he jumped out the window and there was a stinky dumpster down there..." Bai Yutang looked smug, "From this time on, he won't dare to look at you more, like a plague-avoiding god... Haha..."

"You still say you're not bad enough?" Zhan Yao glared at him, "When you graduated, those teachers wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate, they said the school was finally peaceful~"

"Who told them to invite you?" Bai Yutang laughed and got out of his mouth, "You're mine and no one can touch you but me!"

...and then it was embarrassing...

The words came out of his mouth before he felt a bit embarrassed... Bai Yutang shook his head and laughed, "Now that I think about it, when I was little, I was like a fly swatter, whoever comes closer to you, I swat hard!"

Zhan Yao looked at the approaching apartment building and suddenly turned somewhat seriously and said, "Little Bai, let's not go back yet."

...?...

Bai Yutang looked at him incomprehensibly, “Not going back? It's almost dawn, aren't you going to get some sleep?"

"Do you remember that beach we used to go to when we were kids?" Zhan Yao said with gusto, "Shall we go?"

"Now?" Bai Yutang asked, "It's a long way!"

"I want to go..." Zhan Yao said, "We used to go when we were in school."

"That's right, as soon as you have something on your mind, go and sit on the embankment, and up there you will be found." Bai Yutang said, "You really want to go?"

"Hmm!" Zhan Yao nodded.

Bai Yutang turned the car around and headed for the beach in S City.




The beaches here are not the fine sand-filled ones, but the rocky ones. On one side of the huge dike, covered with round concrete columns, all used to hold the dike in place, one could walk up to it. There is something special about enjoying the sea view and watching the water lapping against the shallow reefs.

Pulling over to the side of the road on the highway, Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao went down the embankment together, climbed the stone pillars and headed for the coast.

Where the sky and the sea meet, there is already a faint bright color, the sea breeze with a salty smell, along with the cool air, poured into the lungs, instantly felt refreshing and quiet...

Bai Yutang gently encircled Zhan Yao from behind and came to his ear, “Cat'er, you have something on your mind?"

"... You know again..." Zhan Yao leaned back slightly, feeling the warmth on Bai Yutang's chest.

"Didn't I say, you're an expert at studying people... I am an expert in studying you." He said, kissing the back of Zhan Yao's neck and hair, "Cat'er, tell me, what are you upset about?"

"I... I can feel it... An evil..." Zhan Yao leaned towards Bai Yutang, "This case is different from all the previous ones... This killer... This killer... gives me a strange feeling - evil, vicious, unstable..."

Bai Yutang tightened his arms and wrapped Zhan Yao in a tighter embrace, saying, "I felt it from that scene in Sun Qian, didn't I?"

Zhan Yao looked back at him, "Did you find out too?"

Shaking his head, Bai Yutang smiled and pinched his chin, "I don't have the kind of power you can feel in your heart... But I can feel your mood change... Cat'er, when you're happy, sad, scared... All emotions you are going through I can feel them."

Zhan Yao shook his head lightly, “I think... Someone else will be killed... And maybe innocent children like Sun Qian... But we don't have a clue..."

Bai Yutang lowered his head and kissed Zhan Yao's non-stop opening and closing lips, silencing him gradually.

"Cat'er, I have something I want to give you... You, shouldn't laugh." Bai Yutang let go of Zhan Yao and said softly.

"Something?" Zhan Yao looked up at him inexplicably, "What?"

Bai Yutang reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a white fleece box and opened it, containing two silver rings... The style was simple and elegant...

"You?" Zhan Yao looked at him somewhat surprised and then smiled down.

"No laughing!" Bai Yutang's face burned a little, "I also know it's a little silly, I happened to see it the other day, thought it was good and bought it..."

Saying that, he took a ring out of the box and gave it to Zhan Yao, "I... I also bought a chain... If you don't want to wear it on your hand, you can hang it on..."

Before the words could be finished, Zhan Yao had already reached out to catch the ring and asked, "Are the two the same?"

“Yeah, same." Bai Yutang nodded, only to see Zhan Yao take his hand and put that ring on the middle finger of his left hand and take out another one and put it on his own middle finger.

Bai Yutang watched Zhan Yao's move with some shock, “Cat'er ... Chain..."

Zhan Yao took the chain, held it in his hand and asked, "You think, I would mind if people knew that we... So if I don't want to wear this ring, but you want me to carry it with me... Even if it's around my neck?"

Nodding, Bai Yutang gazed at Zhan Yao, just to see him turn around with a smile and a wave of his hand to the distance, the silver chain making a wonderful arc in the air and falling into the sea.

"Cat... Uh..." Bai Yutang watched the chain fly away and was amazed, Zhan Yao had already reached up and cupped his face, went up and kissed him...

The kiss ended, Zhan Yao smiled, rubbed Bai Yutang's hair in surprise and said: “Yutang, you are so cute..."

Frozen for a moment, Bai Yutang laughed helplessly, “Cat'er, you teased me..."

Reaching out and pulling Zhan Yao over, "Cat'er, let's take it slow, just like every time before... We'll find the clues, analyze them layer by layer, and then we'll find the vicious criminal!"

Zhan Yao looked up at him.

Bai Yutang's eyes were vaguely, with a glimmer of light, "Cat'er, we are the central nerve of S.C.I.! Do you understand?"

"Hmm." Zhan Yao nodded, "We can't mess around... We have to be confident and calm."

"Yeah..." Bai Yutang gazed into Zhan Yao's eyes, "Especially you, Cat'er, you are the one we all depend on, relatively speaking, all of us depend on you.... No evil can ever come near you... Especially with me as a fly swatter here."

Zhan Yao smiled and nodded.

Bai Yutang gathered his arms together and held Zhan Yao tighter, saying, "You must believe in yourself... No evil, no righteousness will ever triumph over you, and I will always keep watch over you."

Zhan Yao wrapped his arms around Bai Yutang's neck, feeling the warmth, the strength, the active life force that he gave himself... Nodding earnestly, "Hmmm!"

A few rays of sunlight leap out of the horizon, one step ahead of the sun, descending to earth... The blue of the sea, and the red of the sunset, the sky into some fantastical purple... The morning sky, as if a light ensemble, mixed colors are like interwoven music, difficult to distinguish ~ ~ we can only feel, either sad, or moved.

But when the sun rises... "The light and the shadow will separate, day and night, each to its own..." and it will be the same from time to time.

After gathering their moods and returning home for a brief rest, the two returned to S.C.I. in a superb state of mind.

When he just entered the office, he heard the sound of snoring, and Xu Qing on one side pointed to Wang Shao, who was lying on the lounge couch.

It seems that Wang Shao was busy all night and they didn't know what he had gained by following Kong Liping last night.

Despite his reluctance, Bai Yutang gently shook him awake.

"Hmmm!... Ugh! Captain!" Identifying the one standing in front of him was Bai Yutang, Wang Shao jumped up: "I've got something! Great discovery!"

When they looked around again, they saw that the S.C.I. people were all looking at him with smiles and scratching their heads in puzzlement, "What are you looking at me for?” He didn't notice that his hair was all messed up like a chicken's nest, and there was a hallucination drool at the corner of his mouth...

"Go wash your face and come home after the meeting and get some sleep." Bai Yutang instructed succinctly.




"Ah... Good!" Wang Shao flew out similarly and returned in less than half a minute, "Captain, Kong Liping met with a man last night."

"What man?"

"I walked with her last night to the door of her house, and there was a black car waiting downstairs, and she went over, whispered a few words to the man in the car, and took a little baby out of that car."

"Baby?" Zhan Yao wondered, "Her son?"

Wang Shao nodded and said, "I think that's right."

"Who's in the car?" Bai Yutang asked.

"I just saw it, it was a guy, he looked familiar... I thought about it for a while before I remembered that he had been in our office yesterday!"

... ! ...

Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao exchanged glances, having come yesterday-" Shen Qian?"

"Right!" Wang Shao nodded, "That's him!"

Bai Yutang sighed for a long moment, "It seems that he didn't come to S.C.I. yesterday just for Gong-sun..."

Zhan Yao nodded, “Gong-sun is probably just a ploy, he has another agenda."

"And that Li Xu!" Xu Qing said, "I checked and she did take lessons at that dance school when she was a child.

"... Is it the same person?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Should be right." Xu Qing handed over the information he had collected, and the photo was clearly Li Xu.

...

"By the way, what about Bai Chi?" Zhan Yao asked suddenly.

"Oh~~," Jiang Ping said, "He came early this morning with Zhao Zhen, who said he has a show coming up... It's the opening show at the Shen Group's casino."

"I secretly told Little Bai about Shen Qian last night, and then he went after Zhao Zhen and said to inquire about the situation." Wang Shao added, “Zhao Zhen seemed quite happy to take him along, except the little guy has been stubborn this morning..."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao only laughed bitterly, it wasn't easy to get forgiveness for a situation like Zhao Zhen's...

"Did he go alone?" Zhan Yao asked.

"No, Ma Han followed." Xu Qing said.

Bai Yutang nodded his head and after assigning a crowd to act, he left the police station with Zhan Yao and the two decided to go to Qi Le's apartment first to look for Li Xu.

Not long after the car pulled out, a text message came from Bai Yutang's phone.

The sender appears to be unknown.

Opened it and there are four words - "Save Me - Qi Yue "

Zhan Yao wrinkled his nose, “Yutang..."




"Understood!" Bai Yutang pulled over to buckle his seatbelt and slammed his foot down on the accelerator.
