S.C.I Mystery vol 1 Chapter 54, The Magic Killer 09: Guess.

"What's your name? Say it!" Chen Jiayi kissed Ma Han hard and then tugged on his collar, insisting that she tell his name.



He looked at Ma Han, who had probably never been so embarrassed in his life, and looked at the excited little woman next to her with horror.


"What's that look for?" Chen Jiayi grabbed Ma Han's collar somewhat fiercely and shook it twice, "You look like I took advantage of you?"


The two people were stalling in place when they heard the man behind them, who had just fallen to the ground, suddenly shout, "Hey!"


Ma Han and Chen Jiayi looked back and saw that Shen Ling had already stood up from the ground, draped in the man's suit, with a look of residual shock. The man was completely different from the pouty look he had just now, with a look of anger.


"You!" The man pointed to Ma Han and questioned, "Why did you let them go just now?"


Ma Han faintly froze, feeling somewhat amused, however, he was a person who desperately disliked talking, not to mention arguing with people, ignoring the man, decided to go back indoors, and think she should not have come out earlier if she had known.


"Stop!" Seeing Ma Han's silence, the man was unforgiving and walked up a few steps, "You're not in league with those people just now, are you?"


Just because Ma Han doesn't like to talk, doesn't mean he has a good temper! In addition, there is no one in the entire S.C.I. except Zhan Yao, who is a good-tempered carnivore and is he is basically an aggressive carnivore.


However, Ma Han could endure, Chen Jiayi, who was beside him, could not, and he sneered, “You're really good, just sitting on the ground shaking with fear, now it's okay, so you're here to learn from the vicious dog that bites people? --Wimpy..."


"What did you say?" The man took a few steps up.


Chen Jiayi hastened to hide behind Ma Han, peeked out, and continued, "Look at you, you have no meat on your face, so what? Still weak in the leg, huh? Did you just freak out? Guts ~ Scorpion Ghost ~"


"You ~~," the man's face flushed green and red.


Chen Jiayi tapped Ma Han for a moment and said, "Boring man! You're welcome! Beat him up!"


Glancing at Chen Jiayi, who was fearing that the world would be in chaos, Ma Han suddenly felt that he was a bit like Ma Xin, as if he was about the same age, and shook his head helplessly, "Let's go."


Chen Jiayi saw that Ma Han seemed to have some kind of smile on his face and was content to follow him back...


"Don't go! Give me your name! We need to investigate!" The man ran up a few more steps, exasperated.


Ma Han stopped his footsteps, with no expression on his face, and turned back towards him.





Seeing that Ma Han had come closer and hadn't meant to stop, the man subconsciously took two steps back and said, “You... What do you want...?”


Ma Han stopped and stared at him for a moment, smiling faintly, "Look around, is there a camera?"


... The man was shocked.


"Heh~~" Ma Han smiled and looked at Shen Ling, "They came here to kidnap you on purpose, they should have known beforehand that there were no cameras, and they ran away as soon as they were scared, this kidnapper is too heartless~~~ and the one in the car, he was dizzy for too long..." After saying that, patting the man on the shoulder, "I wonder who's doing the acting..."


The other three people present froze, only to see the expression on the man's face change extremely wonderfully, and the Shen Ling beside him seemed to have snapped out of it, turning his face to look at the man in astonishment.


Ma Han finished speaking, turned around and left without looking back, then heard a loud slap behind him, Shen Ling pointed at the man and cursed: “Kong Cheng, you deliberately acted like that to fool me? You go to hell!"


"Shen Ling, Shen Ling you listen to my explanation..."


...


Chen Jiayi watched with amusement and caught up with Ma Han: "I see, that man has especially found someone to act, and he wanted to be kidnapped along with that woman, only you ruined the scene before it was finished... How did you find out? It's amazing!"


Ma Han walked up to the casino door, "Can you pretend like you don't know me?"


Chen Jiayi froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."


"Thanks." Ma Han pulled open the door and walked quickly inside.


Chen Jiayi thought about it in the same place... I still didn't get your name...


On the other hand, Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao returned to S.C.I.'s office.


“Jiang Ping, you find out if this Wei Yong is the same Wei Yong who was the cop investigating the Magic Killer from back then." Bai Yutang said.


"Okay." Jiang Ping quickly pulled up the previous personnel files from the computer.


"Cat'er, what are you looking at?" Bai Yutang saw Zhan Yao frowning as he stared at a document and somewhat curiously came forward to ask.


"Kong Liping gave us a few names the other day, here's their file... It's a bit odd." Zhan Yao said.


"Where's the weirdness?"


"Look!" Zhan Yao said while flipping through the papers, "These people, Kong Liping, is thirty-one this year, but was twenty-one ten years ago, Zhang Zhenzhen, An Qingyao, and Li Xu were all twenty-eight, but were eighteen ten years ago, and the youngest, Shen Ling, is also twenty-seven this year, which means she was already seventeen that year, but Xu Jiali was only thirteen when she died!"


Bai Yutang looked at the information carefully and was also puzzled: “Yeah, what would an ordinary twenty-something year old have to do with a thirteen-year-old child? And... why learn to dance together when the age difference is so great?"


"It's a pity the school closed after that case." Zhan Yao finished flipping through the information with a look of depression, "Otherwise, you could have asked someone."


"Heh heh heh," Jiang Ping from the side suddenly let out a laugh.


Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao turned their heads to look at him.


"What's so funny?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.


"Oh, Captain, do you know what that Wei Yong was expelled from the police force back then?" Jiang Ping looked at the information.


"Because of what?" The two men came forward.


"Look!" Jiang Ping nodded open Wei Yong's profile and said, "Sabotaging the scene on purpose."


"Sabotage the scene?" Zhan Yao frowned, "What's going on?"


Seeing the reason for Wei Yong's departure, which reads, "Failure to follow basic norms for police officers and intentional destruction of a murder scene."


"Is it possible to find out which case it is?" Bai Yutang asked.


"... Ah, it's Xu Jiali's case, look, it's written here!" Jiang Ping pointed out the information, "He changed that magic formation chart."


"What has he changed into?" Zhan Yao asked eagerly, "Any pictures?"


"There are no pictures, all we see is forensics first." Jiang Ping searched unsuccessfully.


"Cat'er." Bai Yutang recalled, "I went to ask Uncle Wen downstairs that day, and when he talked about Wei Yong, his face turned pale as if he was hiding something.


Also, Li Xu was there that day, and she was drunk and talking about good men and killing people for their lives and stuff."


"Interrogate Wei Yong first, then find Li Xu!" Zhan Yao closed the file.


"Just like I thought!" The two were about to head out when the phone on Jiang Ping's desk rang, and he picked it up and shouted in shock, "Captain, Kong Liping is dead!"


"What!" Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao were a little confused.


"Didn't we have the Interpol team keep an eye on her? How did she die?" Bai Yutang was full of anger.


"She ... committed suicide." Jiang Ping said.


...


Fifteen minutes later, Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao rushed to the door of Kong Liping's house and saw Ai Hu and a few officers from the Serious Crime Unit wandering outside the scene, and Gong-sun, who hadn't been seen for a long time, was standing outside the door with his arm in his hand, not going in either.


“Gong-sun?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao looked at him with a look of surprise, "What brings you here?"


Gong-sun frowned and smiled coldly. "Why? When did you Captain Bai fire me?"


"... No, didn't you take time off?" Bai Yutang, laugh with Zhan Yao...


Turning his face away, Gong-sun was all disgruntled, "I got a text saying there was a murder here and came over, the forensics guy didn't know I was taking time off." But I cuss that damn Bai Jintang a hundred times, and I did it all night again...


"Why don't you go in?" Bai Yutang looks at the crowd.


Gong-sun shook his head, "No one is afraid to go inside." After saying that, he gently pushed open the hidden door.


Bai Yutang found it refreshing at first. What do you mean you don't dare to go in there? So many cops.


Waiting for the door to be pushed open, the two looked inside... ...froze.


The body of Kong Liping was hanging on the ceiling fan in the room, a long slash at her neck, blood was scattered all over the floor, ceiling, walls, floor... The ceiling, the walls, the floor... The scene was bizarre to the core.





Bai Yutang understood. The crowd didn't dare to go in for fear of damaging the scene.


Gong-sun said, "I told them not to go in first, this scene, Little Zhan it's better if you were to see it first."


Zhan Yao stood in the doorway and was silent for a while, asking Gong-sun, "Do you think she committed suicide?"


Gong-sun nodded, "What do you think?"


"Suicide." Zhan Yao replied briefly, "However, she should be unconscious of it."


Ai Hu came up and blushed, "Captain, my men didn't keep an eye on it, they didn't do their job properly, and there was a big mistake.


Bai Yutang patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Who was it that kept an eye on her?"


"It's us." Two police officers who looked quite capable came up, "We didn't leave a step, just stared at her, she definitely never came out, and no one entered her house, and then saw that she didn't go out to work, thought something was wrong, knocked on the door and no one answered, banged it open and saw this look, evil door ~~"


Bai Yutang nodded and asked Zhan Yao, “Cat'er, did you just say she committed suicide unconscious?"


Zhan Yao nodded, "What do you think is wrong with this room?"


Bai Yutang was silent for a moment, "No footprints."


"Right!" Zhan Yao nodded, "These diagrams look messy, but on closer inspection they are very regular, spirals that converge from all sides to the inside."


"The endpoint is a puddle of blood under the body of the deceased... If someone drew the picture and then disguised it as a hanging, there's no reason to not to leave footprints." Bai Yutang went on to say, "The officers also said no one came out."


"You guys look at her hands!" Gong-sun pointed at Kong Li-Ping's hand.


The crowd looked up to see her hands and arms, full of wounds, already stained red with blood - self-inflicted?


"She should have cut her arm and drawn the figure with her blood, and the ones on her head, which look like they were drawn a long time ago, are dry. The vividness is not the same." Gong-sun sighed, "It's not something that a normal person would do."


"Sensory hypnosis." Zhan Yao suddenly said.


"What?" The crowd looked at him in disbelief.


Gong-sun asked, "Is it similar to hypnotic anesthesia?"


"Exactly!" Zhan Yao nodded, "There have indeed been people in the medical field who have used such tricks."


"Hypnotic anesthesia?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.


"Some people are immune to narcotic drugs, which means that it takes a lot of dosing to produce an anesthetic effect, or some are not anesthetized at all, Be aware that anesthetics are harmful to the body when used too much, so there was a case of having a hypnotist hypnotize a person's senses, leaving the patient with a temporary loss of pain, and waking the person up after the operation." Zhan Yao explained patiently.


"..." After the crowd listened in silence, Bai Yutang came in, "Isn't that a special ability?" The other police officers nodded their heads in unison.


Gong-sun and Zhan Yao glared at the crowd, like they were saying - you people who don't know anything...


"Wait a minute~~," Bai Yutang said with a shake of his hand, "Do you mean that Kong Liping, who first painted the room with her own blood and then hung herself, didn't forget to give herself a knife cut up her neck?" After saying that look at Zhan Yao, "Who can make someone be so cruel to themselves?"


Zhan Yao turned his face to stare at him and said slowly, "She-did-it-to herself."


...?....


After the forensics colleagues finished taking pictures, Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang walked in the door and looked around to see the feeling in the middle of the room, even more shocking!


Gong-sun told someone to remove Kong Liping's body and briefly performed an autopsy, "The person died just in the morning, no more than three hours... The murder weapon was the blade of a paper cutter, which landed in a large puddle of blood on the floor, and was not noticed just now." Gong-sun stood up and said briefly, "There are too many injuries on the body, both new and old... The specifics, I'll take it back and report back to you after the autopsy."






“Gong-sun." Zhan Yao suddenly called out to Gong-sun, who had turned to leave, "While you're doing the autopsy, can you help me count the number of wounds on the deceased's body at different times?"


Gong-sun faintly froze and nodded, "Okay."


"Cat'er, what the hell are you up to?" Bai Yutang reached over Zhan Yao's shoulder, "Say!"





Zhan Yao patted his hand, "Paws off!"


Bai Yutang felt happy when he saw the ring on Zhan Yao's left hand that was exactly like his own.


"Uh-oh-oh," Zhan Yao also noticed the ring and huffed violently, Bai Yutang was also stunned, and the two thought of a very serious question at the same time - where was Kong Liping's child?


Quickly the rooms were searched – Not there!


"Shh!" Bai Yutang suddenly said to the crowd, "Everybody be quiet!"


The other officers fell silent... The scene became silent... There's a faint sound... It was like a kitten purring.


Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao followed the sound... to the balcony.


Kong Liping's house is an old residential house with a balcony of about three square meters... There was a washing machine on the balcony... The lid of the washing machine was separated by a towel and not closed - the sound was coming from inside.


Walking up, opening the lid of the washing machine, Bai Yutang reached in and took a small baby out of it... It was about a year old child...


The child seemed to be just waking up, and looked curiously at Bai Yutang, who had picked him up, with his small hands outstretched, seemingly a little uncomfortable, and both feet kicking and kicking and frowning.


Bai Yutang wrapped his arms around him, not daring to move a muscle, and asked Zhan Yao, “Cat'er, what do do?"


Zhan Yao shook his head, “Little Bai, why are you hugging the baby like that, it looks like you're throwing an out-of-bounds ball!"


“Dead-Cat! You're not kidding... He's so soft, will I pinch him to death?" Bai Yutang's palms began to sweat, this was the first time in his life that he held such a small child.


"He seems very uncomfortable!" Zhan Yao also panicked a bit, "You use less force!"


"I didn't use any force!"


"Stupid Mouse! Can't even hold a baby?"


"Then you do it!"


"I won't."


"Then why should I have to know how to?"


"You know how to do housework! And you're a mammal, too!"


...


In the middle of an argument, the baby suddenly deflated its mouth, tilted its head and cried out with a "wow".


...!...


"He's crying!" Zhan Yao glared at Bai Yutang angrily, "Do something!"


“Dead-Cat!" said Bai Yutang looking back at the crowd, "Is there a female?"


Ai Hu waited for the cadre of detectives to look at each other for a few moments and shook his head.


The child began to cry louder and louder.


“Little Bai! Are you hurting him?" Zhan Yao stepped back and pointed at the child asking.


"No?" Bai Yutang's head began to sweat, "I didn't use much force...someone do something!"


"Captain! I found a cradle!" Ai Hu raised an elaborate cradle from the room.


"Get it over here!" Bai Yutang, as if relieved, hastily put the child into the basket.


The child lies down in the cradle, and after two cradles, he stopped crying and babbles and doesn't know what to say.


Bai Yutang wiped sweat and sighed in relief.


Zhan Yao thought it was funny when he saw Bai Yutang's hands and feet like frozen that for the first time.


"Why did Kong Liping put the baby in the washing machine?" Bai Yutang was puzzled and reached out to carefully tease the child, who reached out and grabbed his fingers.


"Maybe..." Zhan Yao looked at the patterns around the room, "She's afraid of what might hurt this child, right?"


“Cat’er, you just had Gong-sun give you a tally of the number of wounds on the deceased, at different times, what do you mean?"


"You count, on the ceiling, how many patterns are there?" Zhan Yao pointed to the top of his head.


"..." Bai Yutang counted, "Thirteen."


"What about the floor and walls?" Bai Yutang counted again, amazed, "All thirteen?"


Zhan Yao nodded, "Do you remember that Kong Liping went to Zhang Zhenzhen and Sun Qian's murder scene and burned some paper charms?"


Bai Yutang nodded, "You mean, it's some kind of... ritual thing, a ceremony or something?"


"Kong Liping looked, somewhat trancey." Zhan Yao said, "She may have been hypnotized."


"Hypnosis?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.


"You want to." Zhan Yao rubbed his chin, "Kong Liping and the others were obviously hiding something which happened back then, and they were also very deficient... That magic array should be the trauma she's been lingering on～～And she seems to be having a rough time, too～ Then what is a woman of this type likely to do and seek help..."


"Fortune-telling!" Bai Yutang snapped back, then added, "You mean the fortune teller hypnotized her?"


Zhan Yao said, "Hypnosis is unconscious, if you were Kong Liping, what would you feel if you woke up one day and found the ceiling of your home covered in these familiar magic arrays?"


Bai Yutang laughs. "If something was really done that year at a loss, it would have definitely scared the hell out of me."


"Then shortly afterward we heard that Zhang Zhenzhen had died." Zhan Yao guided step by step.


"Think you'll get your turn next." Bai Yutang answered, "Then Sun Qian died again, and she hid the child because she thought it would be her turn next."


Zhan Yao tugged at his sleeve: “Little Bai, you're so smart!"


Bai Yutang also tugged at his sleeve: "Cat'er, can you stop calling me 'Little Bai' when you compliment me on my intelligence?"


"But that's just a guess..." Zhan Yao said, "a little bold one."


Bai Yutang instructed Ai Hu and others to help conduct a thorough search of Kong Liping's home and go to her company to investigate, asking her colleagues and friends in particular if they had heard her mention things like fortune-telling.


"Right." Bai Yutang said suddenly, "It's a guess anyway, I have a bolder idea."


Zhan Yao looked at him and laughed, "Do you think that Wei Yong's behavior may also be related to that 'fortune teller'?"


Bai Yutang laughed, saw no one around, and came up to Zhan Yao and said in his ear, "Cat'er, we really have a good idea.


Zhan Yao's face blushed red as he raised his foot and stomped hard on Bai Yutang, gritting his teeth: "Dead-Mouse!"


"Ahem~" Bai Yutang feigned a cough and said, "When we go back, we can also interrogate Wei Yong from this aspect."


Zhan Yao rolled his eyes and said, "I think, let's not go back today and go somewhere else."


Bai Yutang came to his ear and said, "Now it's my turn to guess, is it the one that went to Shen Qian, the casino opening event? After all, he was the last person who saw Kong Liping last night!"


"Huh!" Zhan Yao raised an eyebrow, "Roundworms!"


Bai Yutang laughed with delight at first listen, smiled with a deep meaning, and said in a low voice, "From your stomach? When was it drilled in?"


"Shut up!" Zhan Yao raised his foot red-faced and kicked, "Dead-Mouse, you are disgusting!"


"Let's go." Bai Yutang took out the car keys, pulled Zhan Yao, and left, only to hear Ai Hu call, "Captain Bai! You take the child away!"


"Huh?" Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang opened their mouths wide.


Ai Hu brought the cradle over to Bai Yutang, shoved it in his hand, and said, "When the scene is sealed off, no one will take him, so you take him back, he is also a witness, and according to the procedure he belongs to you."


Bai Yutang took the child with a bitter face and got out of the car with Zhan Yao.


“Ai Hu, you kid, are grown up!" Bai Yutang gritted his teeth, "And seem know how to walk the program!"


Putting the cradle on his lap, Zhan Yao laughed, "You still didn't bring it out, how can your Young Master Bai's men be willing to take a loss?"


"Why isn't he crying?" Bai Yutang started the car and glanced curiously at the child.


Zhan Yao reached out and gently poked the child in the stomach, causing him to "giggle" and laugh.


"That was fun! It's soft." Zhan Yao poked a few more times, the last one probably hurt, and the child pursed his lips and cried out again.


“Yutang! Crying! Why is it cry?" Zhan Yao, who was still having fun just now, immediately panicked.


“Yutang didn't make it cry!" Bai Yutang was so happy.


"Why is it wet..." Zhan Yao felt under the cradle... "Ah! Piss!" After saying that, a handful of times tried to push the cradle.


“Cat’er! It's showering the car!" Bai Yutang was shocked!


"It's all over my pants, and you have time to care about cars?" Zhan Yao grunted with a bitter face.


"Wet pants? Take it off!"





"Good!... You go to hell!" With a lift of his hand, he pushed the cradle over.


"Hey! Cat'er! I'm driving... Take it away, it's all over my clothes..."


"Trouble is, too!"


On the way back to S.C.I., continue the S-formation...
