S.C.I Mystery vol 1 Chapter 63, The Magic Killer 18: Unleashed

"I want an apple." Zhao Zhen leaned back on the couch in the luxurious single room and crossed his legs.


Little Bai glared at him and held out an apple to him.

"Peeling..." Zhao Zhen took a look at the rounded apple and felt a slight resemblance to Bai Chi.

Bai Chi looked at the apple and glanced again at Zhao Zhen: "The skin... It's nutritious."

Zhao Zhen thought about it and nodded, "Then cut it into small pieces～"

Little Bai gritted his teeth, picked up the knife, and took the apple as Zhao Zhen, chopped it down, and then chopped, and then chopped, and then chopped, and then chopped.

Zhao Zhen looked cold behind her, "Then, Chi Chi, I want to eat apples, not mashed apples ~~."

"Don't scream like that!" Bai Chi tossed the apple chunks into his plate and handed them to him.

"Ahhhh..." Zhao Zhen didn't answer, but opened his mouth to ask Bai Chi to call.

Bai Chi faintly froze at this man's every move, the last time he kissed his forehead and touched his hair, and now the way he wants to be fed, so familiar...

He inserted an apple with a toothpick and carefully threw it into his mouth.

Zhao Zhen ate the apple with satisfaction.

Bai Chi began to look at him closely... There was a real resemblance.

"Again." Zhao Zhen opened his mouth again.

Bai Chi inserted another piece and sent it over, retracting his hand a little slower due to the constant preoccupation. Zhao Zhen also didn't know whether it was inadvertent or intentional, and took a bite into his mouth along with Bai Chi's fingers.

"Yikes!" Bai Chi felt the wet, warm touch on his fingertips and jumped up in shock, throwing a toothpick.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Zhen feigned incomprehension, "Go on, I haven't eaten enough."

"You~~" Bai Chi blushed and carefully gauged Zhao Zhen, seeing that his face was pale - was that a coincidence? Are you too sensitive?

Kind and innocent, Little Bai Chi felt that he had gone a little too far and reflected on himself for a moment, continuing to take up the plate and feed Zhao Zhen apples.

"Aren't you tired like that?" Zhao Zhen looked at Bai Chi amusedly as he sat far away and stretched his arms out to feed him apples, "Sit over here a bit, what are you afraid of, I'm not going to bite anyone!"

Seeing that he was laughing a bit teasingly, Bai Chi immediately sat down beside him, "Who's scared?"

"That's right..." Zhao Zhen smiled and sat a little closer himself, taking advantage of Bai Chi's low head poking the apple and coming over to kiss him on the forehead...

...

Bai Chi covered his forehead and glared hard at Zhao Zhen: "Are you... What's wrong with you? Why are you kissing me?"

"Because you're cute～" Zhao Zhen stretched out his uninjured hand and gently lifted Bai Chi's chin.

Bai Chi slapped his hands away in one fell swoop: "God... You're crazy! No kissing there!"

"Oh~~," Zhao Zhen nodded, "Then I kiss somewhere else~~," saying, lowering his head and kissing Bai Chi on the mouth.




Bai Chi stared at Zhao Zhen, who was so close in front of him, and his eyes unconsciously drew together in shock.

"Haha~~," Zhao Zhen laughed out loud when he saw Bai Chi was again stunned and dumbfounded and was still staring into his eyes.

At that moment, the door was pushed open... Zhao Zhen's economist, Qin Bin, appeared at the door, embarrassed to be in and out, and had to laugh...

Bai Chi's face was first pale, then instantly redder and redder, ears ~~ neck ~~ fingers ~~.

Zhao Zhen is laughing even louder. Look at this little thing, it might even have a red ass.

Bai Chi "swish" stood up and slapped the plate in his hand on Zhao Zhen's face as he turned around in exasperation and dashed towards the door, running out as fast as he could.

Zhang Long at the door wondered, "Little Bai Chi~~~ Where are you going?"

But Bai Chi didn't listen at all, so he just ran and Zhang Long rushed to catch up.

Running downstairs to the hospital, Bai Chi is seen standing by the trash cans, stomping on a bag viciously, cursing, "Stinky cockroach, dead cockroach, stomp you to death!!!!"

Zhang Long trembled and walked over, "That, are you okay?"

Bai Chi huffed out a few more breaths, pouted, and looked at Zhang Long in an accusing manner, "I don't want to stay here, I want to go back to the police station."

Zhang Long froze for three seconds and nodded in unison, “Good! ～～Yes! ～” he wiped his mouth and took out my car keys, thinking, "This is so cute..."

"Have you had enough laughs?" Qin Bin shook his head and looked at Zhao Zhen, "How come you didn't even spare a child?"

"Don't you think he's funny?" Zhao Zhen laughed as he removed the chunk of apple from his body.

Qin Bin looked at his hand, "I've asked the doctor for at least two months off."

Shrugging, Zhao Zhen fiddled with the knife on the table in one hand, silent.

"Do you know how much your hands are worth?" Qin Bin's face turned serious, "One shot isn't enough to make up for it?"

Zhao Zhen grabbed the coat from the couch, draped it over his head, and got up to walk out the door.

"Where are you going?" Qin Bin was a bit anxious.

"Hanging out." Zhao Zhen said ramblingly.

"The doctor says you need to get some rest! Hey... Hey!" Even shouting a few times, but Zhao Zhen walked out of the ward without looking back.

Back in S.C.I.'s office, Bai Chi just felt the air was all so pleasant.

Jiang Ping gestured to him to keep his voice down and pointed to Zhan Yao's office.

Bai Chi probes and sees Bai Yutang and Zhan Yao leaning their heads back and collapsing onto the couch, sleeping soundly.

"Why are you so red in the face?" Jiang Ping asked Bai Chi in puzzlement.

"No...no...no..." Bai Chi shook his head, just now she saw the two on the couch and suddenly thought of the last time she saw them kissing in the car...her heart was in a panic.

...

The next morning, everyone was refreshed and refreshed... There was a lot that had happened in those two days, but fortunately there had been a lot of progress.

Bai Yutang was just about to call the congregation to a meeting when Lu Fang pushed the door in, "Little Bai, we have news."

"What news?" Bai Yutang was a bit fumbled.

"Didn't you have someone look for An Qingyao and Tong Ming last time?" Lu Fang said, "They weren't found in the country, so I checked their immigration records, they went to the US five years ago and never came back, but Tong Ming suddenly returned a month ago, I just contacted him..."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Yao on one side interrupted Lu Fang, "Are you saying that An Qingyao and Tong Ming aren't dead?"

"Huh?" Lu Fang also froze, "No..."

Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang exchanged glances, both somewhat speechless, "What about Li Xu?" Zhan Yao hurriedly asked Lu Fang, “Can we find out? The real Li Xu back then!"

"Oh~~ I'll get someone to check now~~" Lu Fang saw Zhan Yao so excited for the first time and hurried out.

It was about noon when Lu Fang ran back, "Checked it, she's in H City."

"He's in the country?" Bai Yutang was astonished.




"Right." Lu Fang said, "Also, just now Tong Ming called and said that he was willing to turn himself in and stated the truth of the year - that is, we can arrest Li Xu and An Qingyao next."



"Wait a minute~~" Jiang Ping suddenly said, "So, Xu Jiaqing didn't do anything... Then why did she confess?"

Zhan Yao jerked his head up, turned back to his office and drew out a picture in his desk folder, and stormed out the door at a quick pace.

The crowd was baffled by him, and Bai Yutang hurried to follow, "Cat'er, what's going on?"

"I'm just guessing, lets wait for Xu Jiaqing to confirm it for me!" Without stopping on his feet, Zhan Yao ran quickly to the interrogation room and pushed the door in.

Xu Jiaqing was sitting there quietly waiting, for her, the next thing to do is to wait for the trial and the end of her life ~ ~ She has no regrets, because if she does not take revenge, her whole life will be swayed by hatred, and since she has taken revenge, she should bear the consequences.

Zhan Yao, who suddenly rushed in, made her feel a bit surprised.

Zhan Yao put the picture in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of Xu Jiaqing: " Hate started it, let's end it with hate ', isn't that what he said?"

Xu Jiaqing looked down at the picture and nodded, "But my revenge has nothing to do with him, he's just my fortune teller."

Bai Yutang also ran away from the warp at this moment, and when he heard Xu Jiaqing's words, he bowed his head and saw that the person in the photo was indeed Zhao Jue.

"How long have you been consulting with him?" Zhan Yao asked.

"It's been more than three years, that time I was at the cemetery and after hearing Tong Ming's confession, I was conflicted and didn't know if I should take revenge. Later, it just so happened that a friend invited me to meet a fortune teller with her, and that's how we met."

"When did you say you heard Tong Ming confess?" Zhan Yao pursued.

"Three... Three years ago ah~~" Xu Jiaqing replied.

"How did you kill them?" Zhan Yao sighed, moved over a chair and sat down, looking straight at Xu Jiaqing, "Tell me the details!"

"I..." Xu Jiaqing thought about it, a flicker of confusion flashed in her eyes, "I..."

"You only remember the fact that you killed them, but you don't remember the process, do you?" Zhan Yao collected the photo, "Do you know that Tong Ming just returned to the country a month ago, before that he had been living abroad, he went to your sister's tombstone to repent, just as you heard, it should also be a recent event."

"What... what... What... I-" Xu Jiaqing frowned and patted her forehead, "I can't remember-"

Zhan Yao reached down and took his own watch and put it in front of Xu Jiaqing's eyes, "Now, you stare at this watch and imagine time rewind, one hour ago~"

Following Zhan Yao's words, Xu Jiaqing stared down at his watch and began to think back.

"One more day... A week ago... A month ago..." Slowly leading the way, seeing that Xu Jiaqing seemed to be slowly starting to confuse, Zhan Yao raised his hand and tapped her forehead...

"Ahhhh..." Xu Jiaqing looked up, "I... I remember... right, right... I went to see him a month ago... And then he said something to me..."

Bai Yutang watched Xu Jiaqing's change and also sat down, "Then, as soon as you woke up, you were already in the middle of this plan and remembered that you had already killed Li Xu, An Qingyao and Tong Ming, and were about to pretend to be Li Xu to complete the next step, what did you do after that?"

"Then, I, as Li Xu, found someone to share the house with," Xu Jiaqing recalled, "and contacted the others from that year... And then..."

"Next, you introduced this fortune teller to Kong Liping, didn't you?" Zhan Yao said, seeing that Xu Jiaqing nodded, and continued, "Then you were attacked, interrupting your plans, and you were watched, but Shen Ling also died, and in the end, only Shen Qian was left, so, yesterday, you went to finish your final revenge, didn't you!"

Xu Jiaqing nodded, "Yes, but..."

"Exactly." Bai Yutang took the key and unlocked her handcuffs, "You didn't do anything except take Kong Liping to the fortune teller."

"Then I..." Xu Jiaqing asked confusedly, "I avenged my sister's death..."

Zhan Yao stood up, “Zhang Zhenzhen is dead, Kong Liping is dead, Shen Ling is dead, Shen Qian is seriously injured and has lost his reputation; Tong Ming has already said he will turn himself in, and Li Xu and An Qingyao will not escape the law, if this is what you call revenge, I think the ending is tragic enough."

Bai Yutang laughed coldly, “This is a gift from your fortune teller, you have perfect revenge without a single drop of blood on your hands. From today onwards, you should be relieved～"

"I... Relieved..." Xu Jiaqing looked at the two in front of her somewhat incredulously, "I don't have to carry hatred anymore~~."

"Indeed." Zhan Yao nodded, "You don't have to carry hate, but something else."

"Anything else?" Xu Jiaqing was puzzled.

“Chen Yu and Qi Yue nearly lost their lives trying to save you, and now Chen Yu is still lying in the hospital." Bai Yutang said with an expressionless face, "The one-year-old child from Kong Liping has since become an orphan; and there is the Kong Cheng, who, though he is not sure what provoked him to take revenge, but he did help you or your sister to kill two people, and ~don't forget the most innocent, Sun Qian!"

"I... So what do I have to carry? Guilt? Confession..." Xu Jiaqing was confused and somewhat confused, "Why is that?"

Zhan Yao shook his head, "You're in the same state as the people who killed your sister back then, and it's not guilt and remorse that you're carrying, it's the hatred that others have for you - that's what it's called, ‘Hate started it, let's end it with hate' for what it really means."




...

Out of the interrogation room, at Zhan Yao's request, Bai Yutang drove to take him to a place - the cemetery in S City.

In front of a small tombstone, leaning against the tomb was a man who was reading a book, he read softly as if he were reading a bedtime story.

Lifting his head, he looked at Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang who had walked up to himself.

Zhan Yao looked down at Zhao Jue sitting in front of the tombstone, the book in his hand was a copy of The Little Prince, and behind him, on the tombstone, was a childish face - Sun Qian.

"She was not in your calculation, wasn't she?" Zhan Yao asked.

Zhao Jue stroked the photo on the tombstone with slight regret, "No one can plan everything ~ there are always some things that are out of our expectation ~" he said, standing up and patting Zhan Yao's shoulder, "So, the talent is the most fun."

Putting the book in front of the tombstone, he turned to leave, and while brushing up against Zhan Yao and Bai Yutang, he suddenly said, "Hurry and catch the demon before me, if I catch them first, maybe there will be a bigger accident..." Say that and leave.

Zhan Yao picked up the Little Prince book on the floor with his head down, smiled helplessly, and asked Bai Yutang: “Little Bai, do you remember watching the Little Prince play as a child?"

Bai Yutang took the book and said, "Remember."

"Do you remember, then, why the pilot started telling stories?" Zhan Yao asked next.

"... Because he felt lonely, he couldn't find a single person in the adult world who spoke speculation like he did - adults, it is too practical." Bai Yutang replied, looking at Zhan Yao, “Cat'er, what do you see?"

"I think he was telling us..." Zhan Yao paused for a moment, glancing in the direction this Zhao Jue had left, "Why Sun Qian was chosen - demons do not care, so his next target, still a child."
