S.C.I Mystery vol 1 Chapter 60, The Magic Killer 15: Mutation

The scene at the casino became orderly with the entry of a large number of police officers who had previously been in a state of chaos.


Gong-sun was sitting in Bai Jintang's black Mercedes, the closed window blocking out the noise of the outside world, and through the glass, watching the people working silently outside the window... Gong-sun suddenly felt that the whole world seemed to be quiet.

Bai Jintang just lay quietly, slumped in the car seat that had been put down beside him, and could see nothing but a little pallor, as if he had just fallen asleep.

Gong-sun sided with his face and looked at it seriously, he never imagined that a strong man like Bai Jintang would say that he fainted just because he fainted... or that the person who showed up in front of people was always showing his tough side, and the vulnerable side was always unknown... Even the second before he fainted, he was still joking with himself... Is it true that people like him are still laughing even when they die the next moment and the next moment...

Reaching over, Gong-sun mischievously pinched Bai Jintang's nose and poked his cheeks again.

I've heard that when a person is in a deep sleep state, you talk to him and the corresponding picture appears in his mind.

Gong-sun came up to him and whispered in his ear, "Eat a fly ~~."

Bai Jintang's brow furrowed slightly and his throat twitched a few times...

～～This is fun! ~~

"There are dogs chasing you." Gong-sun kept up the good work.

Brow furrowed even tighter, and eyelids fluttered slightly.

... Holding back a laugh, Gong-sun thought for another moment and came forward and whispered, “Gong-sun said that if you don't wake up, he won't want you."

Gong-sun stared at him in puzzlement, and saw that his tightly closed lips slowly opened, and the person who had been unconscious suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Even if I die,I so would wake up.

...!!!...

Seeing Bai Jintang's open eyes and the smirk in his eyes, Gong-sun was so shocked that he almost cried out, "You, when did you wake up?"

"Just a moment ago." Bai Jintang smiled and reached out, only to find his left hand was clutching Gong-sun's.

"We are inseparable now, what are we going to do?" With Gong-sun's hands clasped together, Bai Jintang asked quite a bit of a bummer.

"..." Gong-sun was speechless, looked at his already whitened fingers and whispered, "It hurts～"

Bai Jintang let go of his hand in succession.

The atmosphere was so harmonious that even the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to be slowly rising, and Bai Jintang felt that he had a rare opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The twins poked their heads in, "Boss! Are you awake?"

Stare at those two light bulbs! Bai Jintang reaches up and tries to throw the man out.

The twins saw the killing look on Bai Jintang's face and hastily waved their hands, "Big brother, you'll definitely be happy after hearing that!"

“Gong-sun was so worried about you just now that he was crying in a mess!" Big-Ding expands the facts tenfold.

"I didn't..." Gong-sun explained with a red face that although he was in a mess, he wasn't crying.




"He didn't even care about his job and ran to take care of you!" Little-Ding has expanded the facts tenfold again.

"You guys..." Gong-sun rushed at them.

"And!" The twins expanded the truth a hundredfold in unison, "He called you 'Jin～Tang～' and said he could do anything as long as you were okay!" After saying that, Little Ding closed the car door with a "bang".

"..." Gong-sun gritted his teeth in anger, these dead twins, making up nonsense～～ although some of it is true, what is so exaggerated... Bai Jintang, looking at him with a look of surprise and happiness.

"He... They're bullshitting ~~ things that aren't as they said." Gong-sun explained, but was tugged by Bai Jintang.

"Say it again." Taking Gong-sun into his arms, Bai Jintang kissed him softly on the ear, "Call my name."

... Gong-sun hesitated slightly, saw the expectation in Bai Jintang's eyes, came up to his ear and called softly.

In exchange, it was Bai Jintang's gentle and unusually long kiss.

"I... I'll go to do the autopsy... Bai Jintang was left alone in the car, watching Gong-sun's hastily distant figure with some reverence, but could not stop looking.

After calming his emotions, Gong-sun walked over to Shen Ling's body, put on his gloves, and instead of Forensic Doctor Yang, who had been called in to help, began the autopsy himself. Gong-sun looked back at Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao standing behind him in surprise, and winked at them as if they were asking for his opinion.

The result of the autopsy was that Shen Ling had been strangled rather than stabbed to death with a clear glass rope between her neck, the other end of the rope was fixed to the fence on the top floor, and the length was calculated extremely accurately, right in the middle of the magic array. Wang Shao and others took the people to the top floor and found a large puddle of blood on the ground～～ Shen Ling should have been here, and was stabbed in the neck, then tied a rope and thrown from the air. The knife inserted in the neck and the rope used to secure it are both props for magic diversion.

Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang reached out to Shen Ling's friend to inquire about the situation.

Shen Ling is said to have spent some time drinking with her friend again after talking to Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang. Shen Qian went to prepare for the opening ceremony and left early, then everyone looked at the time was about right and prepared to come to the square to watch the show, but Shen Ling suddenly said that she had something else to do and took the special passage alone.

"Special access?" Zhan Yao asked somewhat puzzled, "What is a special passage?"

"It's the passage that only the insiders of the Shen Group can take." A friend of Shen Ling's replied.

Zhan Yao alone called over one of the girls, who was said to be Shen Ling's best friend, and asked her a few questions.

Returning to Bai Yutang, Zhan Yao whispered a few words to him, and the two exchanged glances before turning to leave.

In the parking lot, a man panicked and opened the car door, shoved a large bag into the back seat, closed the door, and let out a long breath, the transmogrification was about to walk back, but was startled to realize that there were already two people standing behind him - Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang at unknown times.

"What's the matter Counselor Kong, look at this sweaty head of yours." Bai Yutang asked with a smile.

Standing at the side of the car with a pale face was Kong Cheng, the royal lawyer of the Shen Group.

"Uh... What a coincidence for the two officers... What's up?" Despite his strong composure, Kong Cheng was still a little nervous and bitten when he spoke.

"Not a coincidence, we're here specifically for you." Zhan Yao also laughed, "The car behind you doesn't seem to be yours, a white BMW ~~ If I remember correctly, it should be your boss Shen Qian's."

"Oh, right, right." Kong Cheng nodded, "The boss just gave me a bag to put in the car.

Bai Yutang frowned and shook his head, "I see, there should be bloodied clothes, glass rope, and a few knives inside, no?"

"I... I don't know, I didn't open it and look." Kong Cheng hurriedly shook his head.

"You've not only seen it, but these are the ones you put in." Bai Yutang sighed, "You killed Shen Ling and still want to frame Shen Qian, you are really a day and night guard, it's hard to guard against family thieves～～"

"You... What are you guys talking about? What evidence do you have?" Kong Cheng raised his voice, "I, I'm going to sue you for false accusations!"

"Don't you worry about it yet." Zhan Yao gestured for him to calm down, "By the way, what time is it?"

Kong Cheng froze, his hand instinctively reaching for the pocket of his suit, but then stopped violently.

"Take it, why don't you take out your pocket watch?" Bai Yutang smiled and asked, "Or is there something unseemly about this watch?"




"..." Kong Cheng was silent, his eyes fixed deadly on Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao, "You guys, how could you know..."

"We've always wondered, at a time like this, Shen Ling is in danger at all times, but why would she leave the congregation and take the special passage alone? And what's even stranger is how the killer knew she was going to take the special passage again and attack her there?" Bai Yutang seemed to be asking herself, "The answer is, because she wants to avoid one person, and that person is you!"

"I heard from Shen Ling's best friend that you've been chasing her pretty closely lately." Zhan Yao continued, "Shen Ling told someone we know that you even made up a kidnapping case on your own this morning, so she hated you extremely much now and the further away from you, the better." (This was heard by Ma Han when he was outside being pestered by Chen Jiayi)

"Just now, you said you were going to the bathroom and would be right back, telling everyone to wait for you to go to the venue together. Shen Ling listened and left alone, choosing a special passage... These are all within your plans. According to your friend, you went for a long time, almost twenty minutes or so before you came back." Bai Yutang did the math for him, "You go to the special passageway and kill someone, then transport them by elevator to the top floor, tie them to the rope you had already prepared, drop them, and come back, exactly twenty minutes."

"The staff said that you signed a confidentiality agreement with Zhao Zhen on behalf of the Shen Group that he was not to reveal the details of the magic, therefore, you ordered the top floor area to be closed from the day the show was planned ~ the key is in Shen Qian's possession... Of course, in Shen Qian's capacity, one would certainly not be distracted by such trivial matters! The fact that you can even get the keys to his car, and the set of keys to the top floor, even more so, so no one will find you ready." Zhan Yao explained nonchalantly, “The magic array diagram, it was drawn by you before the sign was hung up! The key to this magic is that the signboard itself has been hung on the outer wall of the casino, only a special covering has been wrapped around it, so that the visual effect will be exactly the same as the wall.

Kong Cheng listened silently and laughed dryly a few times, “This can only mean that I have the conditions to commit a crime, how can you guys be sure it's me? Shen Qian and Zhao Zhen must have a chance too!"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao laughed after listening.

Zhan Yao shook his head, "Unfortunately, you've made a mistake, a single one!"

"What mistake?" Kong Cheng was puzzled.

"The first moment we saw the body, we were struck by the fact that the real The Magic Killer's habit is to slit the throat of the deceased with a knife, in so many cases, it's all the same, it never changes! But why, on this occasion, was the knife stuck in the throat of the deceased? And still it was put there after the deceased was strangled." Zhan Yao shook his head, "It's just redundant."

"That's because..." Kong Cheng gulped back the words that came to his lips, his face filled with chagrin.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Indeed, so it can't be blamed on you, there's no way around that ~~ it was supposed to look like an accident, is there?"

Kong Cheng lowered his head and slid his hands into his pockets.

Zhan Yao continued, “Shen Ling was strangled to death, why is there a stab, that is to say, the place where the stab was made is the place where the killer wanted to destroy ~~ What is wrong with that piece of skin? We then wondered if there was something special about the instrument used by the killer for strangulation, and the marks were left there ~~ The strangulation marks were very thin and fine, that is, the murder weapon we were looking for was a very fine, and some special rope or chain ~~!"

"We asked your friend, and you have always carried with you an antique bronze pocket watch with a long chain, and a round bronze coin on the chain with your name engraved on it." Bai Yutang said, "Presumably when you strangled Shen Ling, you left evidence around her neck that could testify against you - a printed mark with your name on it! So, you're going to destroy that evidence,"

"I didn't expect that when I strangled her, the coin was right in the middle of her neck, and my name was clearly printed on it."

"You cut off that rounded piece of skin, but the exact thing is the thing that would have definitely drawn attention to yourself, so you had the sudden whim and stuck the whole knife in to cover the wound, didn't you?" Zhan Yao gazed at Kong Cheng, “According to the way that magic diagram was drawn, Zhang Zhenzhen was also killed by you, wasn't she? Why did you want to kill them?"

Kong Cheng stared at his pocket watch and slowly nodded his head, gritting his teeth, "That's right ~~ because they deserve to die!" Afterward, no words were spoken.

Next, Kong Cheng was escorted to the police station in an escort vehicle.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao were slightly relieved, everyone was stunned after learning the whole process, just now it was a once-in-a-century crime that could be called perfect, but in a few moments it was solved so neatly, and Zhang Zhenzhen's case was solved as well～～ Could not help but admire Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao～～～

However, Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang's expressions were grim, and Kong Cheng and Wei Yong's attitudes and caliber were almost the same - "They deserve to die!" What really happened back then, like the secret between the true lovers of the world, what happened back then died with them. Kong Cheng means nothing to this whole case. Or, was it just the tip of the iceberg.

The crowd returned to S.C.I. somewhat tired, and now there were Wei Yong, Li Xu, and Kong Cheng waiting to be interrogated, and Bai Yutang wanted to call a meeting, but found Ma Han was not there.

"Where's Ma Han?" Jiang Ping, who asked one side, "Did you go to watch Zhao Jue yourself, didn't you tell him to send someone?"

"Oh!" Jiang Ping pulled out a bunch of photos, "I was wondering, he hurried off after looking at them."

Zhan Yao took the photo and the crowd gathered around to see it was of a girl dancing.

"Where did this come from?" Bai Yutang looked a few times and asked Jiang Ping as soon as he snatched it over.




"Uh... I contacted Xu Jiali's family... This was taken when she was performing during her lifetime... Filmed it."

"You're saying that she's Xu Jiali?" Zhan Yao was also aghast.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ping looked at the crowd in puzzlement.

At this moment, Lu Fang ran in in a panic: "No, the police car transporting Kong Cheng was hit, the police officer was injured, Kong Cheng ran away, and took a gun!"

...
