S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 3. Password Killer: Chapter 19. The Cemetery

Going to the cemetery in the middle of the night sounded like an extremely scary thing to most people, but for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, they found it interesting. As for why, even they didn't know.

Zhan Zhao said they should go quietly, as today they were mainly going to observe. So, Bai Yutang bought two binoculars when they passed a sports store. Then, they got into the car and drove to a hillside next to the cemetery. After the car stopped, the two men took out their binoculars to look towards the cemetery in the distance.

"It's so dark, I can't see anything." Bai Yutang said as he looked through the binoculars.

"Look at Qiao Weiming's house over there." Zhan Zhao pointed towards Qiao Weiming's villa in front of them.

Bai Yutang looked towards that direction. "The curtains are open, but the lights are off. Is he not home?"

Zhan Zhao shrugged and said, "There are no cars in front of the cemetery. It seems like that person isn't here yet."

"Who on earth are you talking about, Cat?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Liu Fang." Zhan Zhao was silent for a moment before he replied.

"Liu Fang?" Bai Yutang frowned slightly. "I think he's very cynical, but you say he's a very calm person?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, then raised Bai Yutang's chin with his finger. "You look like a playboy, but you are actually very affectionate."

Bai Yutang touched his chin and smiled, "That's true."

Zhan Zhao shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Most cat owners are afraid of loneliness and noise."

"Indeed." Bai Yutang thought for a moment and nodded. "If you are really afraid of loneliness, getting a dog will make things livelier than getting a cat, but if you are afraid of noise, you probably won't get a cat."

"Liu Fang is not very good at concealing himself. He isn't like Qiao Weiming who deliberately hides things. But even so, he didn't reveal much information to us, so I think he no longer has many emotions left. However, one thing he said seemed strange to me." Zhan Zhao said.

"What is it?" Bai Yutang reached out, pinched the back of Zhan Zhao's neck and said, "Don't keep me hanging."

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember when we told him if Chen Jianxian is the murderer, he would probably be the next person to be killed?"

"Mmhmm." Bai Yutang nodded.

"What did he say?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"He said that it would be impossible." Bai Yutang replied, "he was 100 percent certain."

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Why?"

Bai Yutang thought for a moment and then said, "because he had saved Chen Jianxian's life before."

"That does explain why Chen Jianxian wouldn't kill him!" Zhan Zhao said. "He said it's 'impossible' that Chen Jianxian would kill him, not maybe."

Bai Yutang recalled and nodded. "Cat, do you mean that Liu Fang is sure Chen Jianxian won't kill him?"

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Why?" Bai Yutang frowned, "now that I think about it, it's indeed really weird!"

"He had denied it very quickly." Zhan Zhao said. "According to him, he hasn't seen Chen Jianxian for a long time. Why is he so sure about a person he hasn't seen for that long?"

Bai Yutang touched his chin. "That is really weird... Unless, he is absolutely sure..." Speaking of which, Bai Yutang opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhan Zhao, "Cat... Is it possible that Chen Jianxian is the mute uncle?"
