Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the temporary meeting room for the 121 case:
It was very quiet.
One by one, they started to go inside the room.
Xiang Wan sat outside to wait for Bai Muchuan.
She was like the guard outside the meeting room while she played with her mobile phone.
Everyone knew that she was Bai Muchuan’s girlfriend. Some of them knew why she was there while some did not. Nevertheless, they would nod at her politely.
Xiang Wan would return a polite smile.
Well, she did not feel embarrassed or awkward about it.
She treated this as… taking the role of the security guard!
…
Xiang Wan did not know about the content of the meeting.
She only knew that the meeting took an hour and 25 minutes.
In this period of time, she read two novels.
The two popular novels were targeted for the younger audiences ranging from ages 12 to 16.
For Xiang Wan who was already an adult woman, the plots were too shocking that it made her speechless most of the time.
She felt that she was tortured by the lack of logic, but pampered in dazzlingly bizarre plots…
New, unbelievable plots were unraveled before her time and again.
She totally adopted the attitude of how unbelievable and speechless she could get as she continued reading the novel…
“What happened?” Bai Muchuan walked out of the meeting room and saw her expression. He was surprised. “Did anyone offend you?”
Eh?
Her emotions were showing on her face?
Xiang Wan touched her own face and smiled awkwardly.
“It’s nothing, I got disgusted by a domineering CEO from a novel!”
“Oh? Tell me about it?”
“… You won’t be interested.”
“I’m interested to know what disgusted you!”
“Alright,” agreed Xiang Wan. She would snicker occasionally while she told him about the plot. “The male lead wanted to act tough in front of the female lead… Uh, no, he wanted to show that he pampers her. That’s why, he drove his one and only custom-made BYD in the entire universe, drove past 88 red lights, and bought the one and only specially made crayfish in the entire universe for the female lead. In the presidential suite located on the 88th floor, he personally fed the crayfish to the female lead with his hands. Note that his hands were only used for signing documents since he would even get help when he pees…”
“Hahahahaha!”
Bai Muchuan’s sudden laughter astounded the ones walking out of the meeting room.
Tu Liang walked over. “Captain Bai, what’s up?”
Bai Muchuan stroked his nose. “Nothing!”
Quan Shaoteng walked over as well. “You suffered some shock or something?”
Bai Muchuan swept a glance at him.
He only showed a slight smile but did not say another word. Then he turned his head to Xiang Wan.
“I found the person who resembled the domineering CEO.”
Xiang Wan replied. “Who?”
Bai Muchuan signaled her to look at Quan Shaoteng with his eyes. “Isn’t he right here? Look at him, does he fit that description?”
Xiang Wan let out a chuckle. “Yes! He just needs a female lead who will be enjoying the special crayfish!”
“Hahaha!”
Bai Muchuan laughed again.
“Are you two alright up there?”
Quan Shaoteng totally did not know what the two were laughing at.
Giving a snort, he looked at the mirror near the entrance of the meeting room and adjusted his attire. He saw that he still looked at gorgeous as ever and felt assured before turning back to show a devilish smile.
“… Is this the twistedness of human nature or the depravity of morality?”
After that, he left, walking in big strides.
…
Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan looked at each other in the eye and was all smiles when they walked together.
Whenever she hung out with them, she was always in a pleasant mood.
However, she did not forget about the case.
Seeing that there was no one near them, she asked softly.
“How is it?”
“It’s just as what I’ve said,” Bai Muchuan said with a poker face.
“Mm?” Xiang Wan looked at him.
“The evidence is solid and sufficient. We just need some supporting documents, and we could go ahead to pass the dossier to the prosecution!”
“…”
Xiang Wan kept quiet for a moment before she asked another question. “In other words, the investigation of the case is coming to an end?”
“Yes!”
“That means, we’re preparing to return to Xi City… No, to be exact, to the Capital?”
“Yes!”
“…”
It seemed that now was the time to say goodbye to Nanmu.
Xiang Wan pondered for a moment. “Are there any news from Cheng Zheng and Mei Xin so far?”
At this time, Xiang Wan could only pin her hopes on Cheng Zheng.
They had gone to Wen Xin Town to conduct an autopsy on the corpse that donned a Daoist robe. The moment they found any anomaly or new clues, the existing conclusion could be overturned.
However, what she heard disappointed her.
“No documents were found on the male corpse that could give a clue to his identity. There were no signs that suggested the scene had been tampered by either humans or wild animals. It was very clear that he had fallen to his death from the mountain. The police officers also visited every townsfolk if they knew the deceased. They didn’t find any match in the database as well.”
“So… that’s all?”
“Cheng Zheng will be bringing the corpse back for a further examination to ascertain the body’s identity, but…”
Bai Muchuan’s gaze was cold. “With regards to this, I don’t have much hope.”
That man had fallen to his death.
From the mountain.
No matter if that man was really the one Xiang Wan met at Wen Xin Nunnery or not, it would not change anything.
After all, dead men tell no tales.
The case had ended with the discovery of the corpse of this man.
Besides Yu Bo, there was no other living person involved in the case.
Moreover, the police had now gotten hold of the sequence of events and hard evidence.
The victims of the 121 case, and the subsequent events—the chain of evidence was clear, obvious, and plain to see. It was so complete that they could write a perfect dossier for it…
The only doubt left was Yu Bo and Xiang Wan’s identification of a suspect.
—The one who really resembled Meng Chi.
There was an allegation that Yu Bo might be mentally challenged.
Whereas Xiang Wan did not even see the face of the man behind the mask.
Xiang Wan took a deep breath and laughed self-mockingly.
“If Yu Bo is not mentally challenged, he might not have survived until now.”
Bai Muchuan responded with a cold tone. “Let’s go and see him.”
…
Their investigations were about to come to an end.
It would be time for them to celebrate.
That also meant that the case would be solved very soon.
Hence, besides Bai Muchuan, Xiang Wan, and a few others who could sense the abnormality in the case, the rest of them were rejoicing.
Not too far away, they could see that Captain Zhang and several others were chatting happily.
Xiang Wan looked at them; she couldn’t help but feel a little suffocated.
“I feel so uncomfortable that I feel like crying!”
“If you want to cry, then cry. Go ahead!”
“Cough, cough… Cough, cough, cough…”
Xiang Wan had wanted to talk but a gust of cold wind happened to blow in her direction; that choked her a little. Her throat felt itchy, and she couldn’t stop coughing.
Bai Muchuan patted her back gently.
“I know that you have a pair of eyes that could see the truth! You have to believe in me that I have a pair of hands that could nab criminals! Xiang Wan, it’s just a matter of time. We will meet him again and he is destined to lose!”
Xiang Wan looked up and gazed at him.
As the sunlight splashed on his hair, it was especially dazzling.
…
Yu Bo was now different from when Xiang Wan met him during midnight.
His hands were now heavily handcuffed.
He was no longer in the questioning room, but the interrogation room.
That day, he would be brought to the detention center.
He had admitted to killing people, so he had to move to the detention center and wait for the lengthy judicial process to happen.
As well as the court proceedings and judgment.
Maybe he had realized something, Yu Bo’s face was now colorless like paper, and his head was hanging really low. His shoulders were slumped, and his thin body looked like he was below 18…
“Captain Bai!” Two detectives saw Bai Muchuan and greeted him.
Bai Muchuan nodded his head and pointed at Yu Bo.
“We want to have a few words with him.”
“Alright!”
They went out of the interrogation room. Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan sat down.
“Yu Bo!” Bai Muchuan called his name.
Yu Bo did not respond nor move at all.
He was like a statue, ignoring everything around him.
“Yu Bo…” Xiang Wan called his name in a softer tone.
Before she could say anything else, she started to cough again.
Since Yu Bo was familiar with Xiang Wan, the moment he heard her voice, he immediately looked up.
That pair of eyes suddenly opened wide as if a glint of light flashed past him.
His gaze was filled with hope.
“They took Blackie away!”
