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

Case 3. Password Killer: Chapter 20. Game

At half past eight in the morning, Bai Chi saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sleeping on the sofa as soon as he arrived at the SCI office.

Gong Sun staggered in wearing his white coat and asked, "What's the matter with these two? Didn't they go out for a ride after dinner last night?"

"Hmm?" Bai Yutang woke up first, sat up and rubbed his neck. "What time is it?"

"It's almost nine." Wang Chao handed a cup of coffee to Bai Yutang, "Captain, where did you go with Dr. Zhan last night?"

"I have something to show you guys." Bai Yutang took out the digital camera from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Ping. "Bring up the pictures!"

Jiang Ping grabbed the camera and exported all the photos.

"Damn!" Jiang Ping could not help exclaiming. "This is thrilling."

"What is it?" Bai Chi curiously leaned over and saw several photos on the computer screen. One of them showed Liu Fang leaving the tombstone. Another photo showed the two tombstones with the names Chen Jianxian and Liu Fang.

"Did this Liu Fang make his own grave or something?" Zhao Hu said with a frown.

"Isn't Chen Jianxian that mute uncle? Why does he have one too?" Ma Han asked in confusion.

"Cat and I are going to ask Liu Fang in the afternoon." Bai Yutang said, "Zhang Jianqi should have brought Zhang Hua here by now."

"They're still not here. I don't know if he can handle his own son." Jiang Ping sighed, "seems like a troubled teenager."

"He's not a teenager anymore." Gong Sun said, "he's already in his 20's."

"If the mute uncle isn't Chen Jianxian, then Zhang Jianqi should have recognised who it is." Luo Tian said. "Why didn't he say anything?"

"Could it be because the burns were so severe that Zhang Jianqi couldn't recognise him?" It seemed that Bai Yutang was completely awake. On the other hand, Zhan Zhao was still in a confused state.

"I don't think so. His face has not been burned that badly." Bai Chi said, "Zhang Jianqi should have recognised him."

"That's true." Bai Yutang nodded.

"Well..." Gong Sun suddenly said, "both Chen Jianxian and Liu Fang were badly burned, right?"

Everyone nodded and looked at him. "Yes."

"In other words, the hospital must have kept some of their records... Like their blood." Gong Sun said, "if we can take blood samples from Liu Fang and Chen Jianxian, we may be able to compare them with those samples."

"You're right." Bai Yutang touched his chin. "Getting their blood samples might be difficult..."

"Although there are two tombstones, it is impossible to use it to apply for a legal warrant. After all, the evidence isn't solid enough." Gong Sun thought for a moment and said, "we can only do it privately."

"Privately?" Bai Yutang was baffled.

"Such as forcing them to get nosebleeds by hitting them." Zhao Hu said.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

"That is one way to do it..." Bai Yutang began to think alone. Then, Zhan Zhao next to him asked in a muffled voice, "What way to do what?"

"We need to take blood samples from Liu Fang and the mute uncle." Bai Yutang reached out and pulled up the sleepy Zhan Zhao.

"Can't they just go get a physical examination?" Zhan Zhao said rubbing his eyes.
