S.C.I Mystery vol 1 Chapter 55, The Magic Killer 10: Farewell

The lights in the hospital operating room had been on, and Chen Yu had been pushed in for almost three hours.


Qi Yue stood dumbfounded in the doorway, her face unreadable, her eyes locked on the door to the operating room.

However, if one looked closely, one could still find that her body was shaking slightly.

The clothes on her were a little wet from hiding in the corner just now, and Zhao Hu stood behind her and watched, not knowing if she was shivering because of the cold or because of fear.

"Qi Yue." Couldn't resist to call her

Qi Yue froze for a moment before turning her head to look at him, her eyes full of confusion.

Zhao Hu took his own jacket off and handed it to her, "Go change it."

Accepting his clothes, Qi Yue turned slowly and walked towards the bathroom... After a moment, she changed into his coat and came out, still standing in his usual place, glowering.

Zhao Hu was somewhat familiar with Qi Yue, having been responsible for her safety himself in the last case, so one could sense her unease at the moment.

Rubbing his head, Zhao Hu thought to himself, shouldn't he comfort her? What can he say?

"That..." Organizing the word and he said, "Don't you worry too much either, Chen Yu will be fine."

Qi Yue ignored him.

Zhao Hu sighed in his heart, blaming himself for being so stupid that he couldn't even speak comforting words.

"If Little Yu dies too, then I really won't have a relative." Qi Yue suddenly opened her mouth.

Zhao Hu faintly froze and opened his mouth, unable to utter the words.

Qi Yue, however, didn't seem to expect much from him to comfort her, but continued to talk to him, "I've known Little Yu since I was very young, this personality of hers is straighter than me, and also very outgoing, she seems to be immature... In fact, it's always been her who's taken care of me."

Zhao Hu looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue down the line.

"After the incident with my brother, she moved in with me... Actually, her family is local, she was just afraid that I would be lonely alone.... Just now, if she hadn't grabbed that guy and told us to run, we'd all be dead for sure, I'm so useless."

Zhao Hu suddenly laughed and reached out to pat her on the shoulder, “Yeah, girl, cheer up, it's not as bad as you say!"

Qi Yue looked up at him somewhat puzzled.

Zhao Hu scratched his head again, “Think about it, if you didn't run back then, then all three of you would have been dead! Not only did you run away on your own, but you took the wounded Li Xu with you, and you called in our captain ~ in fact, it was you who saved the lives of the three of you, how can you call yourself useless?"

Qi Yue looked at Zhao Hu with somewhat troubled eyes wide open, "However, I feel unlucky, and anyone close to me will be unlucky!"

"Rest assured!" Zhao Hu patted himself on the chest and asked, "You've met all the S.C.I. guys, right?"

"Hmm~~" Zhao Hu suddenly changed the subject, causing Qi Yue to be a little confused.

"I tell you, S.C.I. is all elite people, our leader, and Dr. Zhan, Gong-sun, needless to say, like Ma Han, who is the best marksman in the Flying Tigers; Xu Qing, the military's special mechanic; Jiang Ping, who can hack into the Pentagon if you give him a good computer; Zhang Long, Wang Shao are all old-school god sent detectives ~~ look at me again, what about scream elite?"




Qi Yue shook her head honestly and said in her heart, "This Zhao Hu, who looks like a tiger, doesn't have half the majesty of a criminal police officer.

Zhao Hu was amused by her and laughed, "I tell you, Team Bai picked me because I've been undercover for five years and I haven't even been caught once, and that's my luck!"

Seeing that Qi Yue seemed to have some hope in her eyes, Zhao Hu said with some confidence, "I don't dare to promise anything else, say luck, how much do I want here, how much... Chen Yu will be fine!"

The words had just fallen, the lights in the operating room went out, and not long after, the doctor in his operating gown stepped out.

"Doctor... She..." Qi Yue even shook his voice.

"Phew~~" the doctor let out a long breath, "What luck, after a few turns at the ghost gate, we finally got her back."

"So she's... She's okay?" Qi Yue is full of surprises.

"It's okay." The doctor took off his gloves, "She cannot meet anyone because she is on anesthesia now, wait until night when she wakes up."

Watching the doctors leave, Zhao Hu laughed triumphantly, "See, eh?"

He was shocked because Qi Yue had already rushed up and was crying out in a hug...

When Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang arrived at the hospital, this was exactly what they saw - Zhao Hu froze in place like a log, and Qi Yue threw herself on his chest, crying out in pain...

After Qi Yue had calmed down a bit, Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang asked her what had happened.

According to Qi Yue, Li Xu has been in a bad mood these days～～ Although she usually gets drunk and talks nonsense every once in a while, it's not as if she's drunk every day like she's been doing lately. This morning, Li Xu answered the call and headed out with a panicked face. Seeing that she couldn't even stand up, Qi Yue and Chen Yu were afraid that something would happen to her, they chased after her. Just as he saw the black-clothed man holding a knife and trying to cut Li Xu, the two rushed forward to help. Li Xu was pushed and passed out after hitting the wall, Chen Yu grabbed hold of the man and told Qi Yue to take Li Xu and run. Then, Qi Yue ran out with Li Xu, hid, and texted Bai Yutang back.

"Do you know why he wanted to kill Li Xu?" Bai Yutang asked.

Qi Yue shook her head, "We've known Sister Li for some time, but she rarely mentions things from the past, which is, when she was drunk, she used to say such nonsense as a good man, coming for her life."

“Qi Yue, do you guys know anything about the Magic Figure murders?" Zhan Yao asked suddenly.

"Ahhh, that I know, we saw the news the other day and it is said that a teacher was killed, and later there was a little child... That's right!" Qi Yue suddenly called out, "It was after watching the news that day that Li Xu became strange."

"Strange?" Zhan Yao asked without hesitation.

"When we were watching the news the other day, we happened to be eating breakfast, and Sister Li seemed to be agitated by something, so much so that she smashed the bowl, and then shut herself in the room, we knocked on the door and she couldn't open it, as if she was in there talking to someone on the phone, yelling very loud. Specifically what we weren't paying attention to... Then, she started to drink indiscriminately and became what she is now."

After Qi Yue finished speaking, he hurriedly ran off to see Chen Yu, Bai Yutang instructed Zhao Hu to take care of Qi Yue for the time being, and then, along with Zhan Yao, he came to Li Xu's ward.

Outside the ward, Wang Shao leaned on the doorway with his shoulder, saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao and hurried up.

"How is she?" Bai Yutang asked.

"It's fine, there was some excitement just now, and then I heard that Chen Yu was fine, so my mood stabilized."

Nodding, Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang pushed the door into the ward.

Sitting alone on his hospital bed, Li Xu looked out the window with his eyes, looking, somewhat confused.

"Li Xu." Bai Yutang called out to her.

Li Xu didn't say a word, seemingly unheard.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao exchanged a glance.

"Jiali Xu." Zhan Yao suddenly called out softly.

.........” Li Xu shuddered and turned back in a panic, "Jia... Jiali is here? Where is she?"

Seeing her react, Bai Yutang said lightly, "Xu Jiali is dead, how... You should know best."

"I... I'm not sure." Li Xu shook her head in a panic, "I don't know."

"Do you know Kong Liping?" Zhan Yao asked her. "She's dead, too."

"What..." Li Xu seemed to be somewhat shocked, “Liping... Also dead... Retribution... Retribution!"




Zhan Yao looked at Li Xu's somewhat morbid reaction and frowned slightly, "You, Zhang Zhenzhen, Kong Liping, and An Qingyao and Shen Ling... Why did you kill Xu Jiali?"

"It's not... It wasn't us that got her killed! We just..."

"Just faked the scene?" Bai Yutang interrupted her, "Why? Who are you trying to cover for?"

"We... We thought it was fun... Xu Jiali's usually arrogant too..." Li Xu's words made even herself feel deflated.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Zhan Yao shook his head, "Let me guess... It's for some guy is it?"

"..." Li Xu looked at Zhan Yao with wide eyes in horror, "You... How do you know?"

"Who is it?" Bai Yutang pursued, "Tell us the truth, or you will get more people killed, and I am sorry for Qi Yue and Chen Yu who risked their lives to save you."

Sighing softly, Li Xu's gaze began to soften, “He, his surname is Tong...” His name is Tong Ming. It's our dance instructor."

"Is he the one who killed Xu Jiali?"

"... Yes."

"You saw that?" Zhan Yao asked.

"No." Li Xu shook her head, “Shen Ling...” Shen Ling and Zhenzhen saw it... Besides, Liping saw it too."

"Why did Tong Ming kill Xu Jiali, and why did you guys help him hide it?"

"Tong Ming... He, he liked younger girls..."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao were slightly surprised when they heard it.

"Xu Jiali was only thirteen years old, he shouldn't be trying his moves on someone relatively young, and isn't that a pedophile?" Bai Yutang coldly said, "Forced to kill?"

"He... Just the wrong hand, at the time, Qingyao and I both liked him... we were just thinking of helping him off." Li Xu said softly, "After that incident, I was so guilty that I went abroad for a while, and when I came back, Tong Ming was already Qingyao's boyfriend."

"Whose call did you get that morning?" Zhan Yao asked.

"It was Liping who called me, and she said that there was something important she wanted to tell me."

...

Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang walked out of the hospital at exactly six in the evening.

"How about it, Cat'er, go to that casino in Shen Qian?"

"Hmm." Zhan Yao nodded, silent.

A call was made to Zhang Long to find out the current movements of An Qingyao and Tong Ming, and to bring Tong Ming back to the police station. Bai Yutang turned his face to Zhan Yao, "What's the matter Cat'er, the gods don't stay home, what are you thinking?"

"Hmmm~~ Li Xu's words are well worth pushing." Zhan Yao pondered, "You think, there were only three real eyewitnesses back then, Kong Liping and Zhang Zhenzhen were dead, only Shen Ling is alive, that means if Shen Ling bit the dust and died because Tong Ming killed Xu Jiali, then there would be no other witnesses."

"Indeed." Bai Yutang nodded, started the car and said, "This case is inextricably linked, but at least there's some clues... What Kong Liping is going to tell Li Xu may be the truth of what happened back then."

"Do you think that the killer wasn't Tong Ming?" Zhan Yao looks at Bai Yutang.

"Hah-ah-ah," Bai Yutang laughed, "Cat'er, what about it? Don't you think there's another killer too?"

"I think that back then, it was very likely that Li Xu and An Qingyao had been deceived by Shen Ling." Zhan Yao said.

"I also think so, originally, killing is not a child's play, An Qingyao and Li Xu were swept away by their love for Tong Ming and went to cover up the crime for Tong Ming, this is reasonable, but the other three people have no reason at all..."

"And the weird thing is..." Zhan Yao followed up his words, "It was Zhang Zhenzhen and Kong Liping who died, not Li Xu and An Qingyao ~~ much less Shen Ling."

"Let’s go and meet the siblings, and we'll see." Bai Yutang finished, stepped on the gas and accelerated.

Shen Qian stood in front of the screen wall in the surveillance room, frowning at the twins and Bai Chi at the gambling table in the screen.

"How much did he win?" Shen Qian asked the men around him.

"That adds up to almost three million." The man replied.

"Heh heh heh," Shen Qian laughed coldly, "Good for you Bai Jintang, the first day I opened, you got someone to show my face, and he didn't cheat?"

"No." the man shook his head, "He wins all by spins and blackjack..."

"Got it." Shen Qian nodded, "That cute little friend who looks like she's still a teenager is the kind of digital genius the legend says she is, right?"

"Boss, should we go and stop him?"

"No need." Shen Qian waved his hand and smiled, "Just this little money, it's nothing, I am interested in that little friend."

...

In the casino, the twins counted their money and were in a good mood! Not because they won the money, they were happy because - it was Shen Qian's money that they dented! Think about it, he's named it "Save Money", and it hurts when people win so much money at once. That was fun.

On one side, Zhao Zhen couldn't look away and squeezed into the crowd, pulling Little Bai Chi out, “Yeah, that's all for today."

Bai Chi was confused and doesn't know how much he's won, and he doesn't have any specific idea about gambling, but he just uses his brain, arithmetic and card counting.

After Zhao Zhen pulled him out, he reacted and saw that he was the biggest "enemy" of his life, and he flung his hands in a fierce manner: "What are you doing? You're nosy..."

Zhao Zhen was furious, "Kid! I'm doing it for you!" Unconsciously, the tone was heaved a few notches.

Bai Chi was fierce and stared at him with a condescending expression.




Zhao Zhen immediately softened up, and said - "Little man, why did I have to be so blind when I was a kid to get offended by such a vengeful man?

Big Little-Ding came over and saw Zhao Zhen's pale face, and while holding Little Bai Chi, he looked at Zhao Zhen with a cold smile: "What, the Bai Family's people are here and you dare to bully them? Don't you want to live?"

Zhao Zhen didn't know the twins, so he said, "I didn't bully him too much when I was a kid! Sighing, "Suitably little, too conspicuously."

The twins glanced at each other, this Zhao Zhen was not at all impressed by the aura of the two of them～～and this talking aura～～ was a character. To think that today was indeed a bit overplayed, and if something did happen to Bai Chi, it would offend the S.C.I. and it's not a horrible thing to fight with Bai Yutang at first, but now with the "Sister-in-law", S.C.I. if anything were to happen wrong the twins felt that they are is likely to be thrown into the Pacific Ocean by Bai Jintang and fed to the sharks.

"Little Chi Chi~~~ That's all for today~~~" said, shoving Bai Chi into Zhao Zhen's arms and waving his hand, "I'll buy you a gift tomorrow~~~~" turning around and running away.

Zhao Zhen instinctively caught Bai Chi who was pushed into his arms and was slightly startled, "This little thing, it's so small."

Bai Chi, like a hedgehog, pushed Zhao Zhen away, turned around and left, direction - bathroom, disinfecting the place that the b8stard had touched...

Leaving the noisy hall and walk through the aisles to the restrooms.

In the slash, a figure suddenly flashed out, and Bai Chi, unguarded, slammed into a full bore.

Rubbing his nose, he looked up and saw that the person standing in front of him was... It was actually Shen Qian.

"Is everything okay?" Shen Qian smiled and reached out to rub his forehead for him, "It's all my fault for walking in such a hurry."

"No... Nothing." Bai Chi was slightly nervous and said... I finally got to talk to Shen Qian.

"You're good." Shen Qian said, "You can be promoted to VIP membership."

"VIP?" puzzled Bai Chi.

"Hmm~~ Usually those downstairs in the lobby are ordinary gamblers, the more professional ones are in the VIP room... Do you want me to show you?" Shen Qian smiled, "I happen to be going there too."

Bai Chi hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Okay."

Ma Han saw from afar that Bai Chi seemed to be going with Shen Qian, and he was a bit anxious, the twins had just gone a bit too far. He was about to walk up, but him arm was pulled and he turned around to see Zhao Zhen shaking his head and pointing at himself, meaning – he is the one going.

Ma Han nodded, and Zhao Zhen quickly chased after him.

Chen Jiayi from afar has been quietly watching Ma Han - and now she's gnashing his teeth - why do all the good men these days like to stare at other men? Aren't I attractive?

On second thought, no, this man , she is too fond of him, even if he is gay I'll be making she will make him straight for her!

Ma Han's nose itched and sneezed, and his back felt cold...

Shen Qian intimately wrapped his arms around Bai Chi's shoulders and guided him deeper into the corridor, Bai Chi was a bit awkward, but he couldn't show it either, but he felt that Shen Qian was a little unwilling ~~ He was overwhelmed and heard someone calling him: " Little Chi! The bathroom is not over there."

At the end of the conversation, Zhao Zhen had already walked over to the two, reached out and pulled Bai Chi over, looking at Shen Qian with some surprise: "Boss Shen? Such a coincidence?"

"... The Great Magician Zhao ah-" Shen Qian faintly froze for a moment before quickly recovering and greeting with a smile, "I'll look forward to your performance later."

"Okay." Zhao Zhen smiled and reached over to put a hand on Bai Chi's shoulder, "This is my assistant for this show."

"Oh, yeah?" Shen Qian smiled and nodded, just about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhen, "We have things to do, I'll see you at the show later." After saying that, he wrapped his arms around Bai Chi and walked back.

Shen Qian stared at the two men's backs for a while, smiled coldly and left.

Zhao Zhen led Bai Chi out of the aisle and to the bathroom door, looking back to see Shen Qian already gone, relieved, looking down at Bai Chi, "Are you okay?"

Bai Chi was a good kid with a clear class stance and a clear division of love and hate, so he reached out, clamped two fingers on Zhao Zhen's sleeve, threw it away like a dead cockroach, patted the ash on his shoulder, turned around and pushed open the bathroom door behind him, stepped inside, mouth humming, "Need to sanitize!" Closed the door.

Zhao Zhen was out there stomping his feet and cursing - dead kid! Watch your eyes! Not cute at all!!!!

Walking to the bathroom sink, Bai Chi turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of cool water and washed his face... And exhaled.

To be honest, it was lucky for Zhao Zhen to appear when he did because that he didn't know what to do otherwise. As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that there was someone around me and was startled, so I raised my face and saw that in the large mirror, there was a person standing beside me...

Bai Chi froze when he saw the man's face... His pale face, long black hair, slanting phoenix eyes, and faint decree lines...

"It's you?" Some surprise turned his face to him, "How did you get here? Thanks to you last time..."

Before Bai Chi's words could be finished, the man crooked his head to reveal that incomparably innocent smile and lowered his head to kiss Bai Chi's forehead gently.

There was a momentary short circuit in the brain, and Bai Chi looked up at him dumbfounded.

Lifting his head, he stuck his tongue out and licked his lips, smiling once more, and came up to Bai Chi's ear and whispered, "Sharpness in things can't be too revealed oh~~ there will be trouble... A wise man must learn to play the fool." Gently combing Bai Chi's hair, he asked softly, "Got it?"

“Yeah..." Bai Chi nodded.

"Good boy..." he leaned up again, kissed Bai Chi's soft hair and turned to leave.

Bai Chi reacted from his dumbfounded state and realized that the man was already gone, cursing himself for being useless, he quickly rushed out and crashed headlong into Zhao Zhen, who was planning to open the door and enter.

"..." Zhao Zhen rubbed his chest, "What are you doing? Is there a ghost chasing you?"

When Bai Chi heard the word "ghost", he suddenly thought, "That person always comes and goes like this, like a ghost...

"Hey!" Zhao Zhen reached out and waved his hand in front of Bai Chi's eyes, "Are you okay? What is it? Is it really a ghost?"

Zhao Zhen was still waving his hand in front of him like an idiot...

I thought that if Zhao Zhen hadn't blocked me, I might have caught up with him... Little Bai cursed... This jinx!

Bai Chi raises his foot and stomps on the back of Zhao Zhen's foot.

"Wow..."

Watching Bai Chi shake his hand and leave with a grin on his face and Zhao Zhen scratching the wall in pain... FML, who am I messing with?

Bai Yutang’s car drove in front of the entertainment city. Zhan Yao got out of the car first, looked up, and fell to the gate ... A moment, then, ran away.




“Cat’er?" Bai Yutang was parking his car in the parking space when he saw Zhan Yao flying away.

Zhan Yao went straight to the door and looked around... He just saw a figure... It was only for a moment, but he was sure he wasn't mistaken... That person's presence was too strong, there must be no mistake.

"Dr. Zhan?" A man came up beside him and greeted him somewhat pleasantly.

Zhan Yao turned his face and realized it was Shen Qian.

"Hello..." There was no time for him, Zhan Yao greeted him with a hurried greeting and continued to search.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qian took a few steps up and looked at Zhan Yao up close, secretly saying, "If it's beautiful, this one is still the best, and up close, it's even flawless...

"You don't look so good. What can I do for you?" Saying that, Shen Qian reached out and tried to lightly touch Zhan Yao's cheek. Before his fingers could touch the faintly white, somewhat transparent skin, he saw a quick white shadow walk beside him - a dull ache pain was felt in his wrist. Bai Yutang grimaced coldly and clapped his hands away.

Shen Qian frowned, Bai Yutang was a kick boxer and just slapped the back of his hand and not his entire arm, just his wrist... But what a sharp pain! He gritted his teeth before and refused to scream out, wondering if his wrist hurt.

Then look at Bai Yutang, and see his face of frost... I'm sure you're his brother indeed, the Bai Family bothers both had that look of ‘I'll never let anyone touch my own stuff’ I think this little one is even scarier than the big one.

Shrugging, Shen Qian nodded politely and turned away in good humor.

"Cat'er, what's the matter with you? What do you see?" Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Yao with some concern.

“Yutang, just now, I saw a man..." Zhan Yao grabbed Bai Yutang's open trench coat front lapel and said with an anxious face.

Bai Yutang smiled, "Really? That good? Have you never seen a man?"

"I'm not joking with you!" Zhan Yao was somewhat angry.

"Good, who did you see?" Bai Yutang asked with a smile.

"..." Zhan Yao looked up, stared into his eyes, and said slowly, “Zhao Jue-"

...

Outside the hall, a man walked slowly by the glass door, he looked somewhat fondly at the two people in the hall, reached out, gently kissed his two fingers, pressed his fingers against the glossy glass door, turned around and left～～～～

The man’s ethereal voice said softly, "Farewell, my angels..."
