S.C.I Mystery Vol. 1, Ch. 36

T/L Note: Tomorrow I am running a D&D campaign and getting a tattoo, so I might be running a little late...

Killer Training Camp 08: Pretending to be Sick


The morning sun shone through the curtains onto the milky floor of the bedroom.

The crisp bell of an alarm awakened the person sleeping there.

Gongsun frowned and reached out to press the alarm clock, but it stopped on its own.

Soon, his consciousness gradually blurred again, urging him to sleep for a while.

He had slept very comfortably during the night. After it had become November, the weather had suddenly turned chilly. Gongsun, who had an aversion to the cold, was often awoken because he was freezing. He wasn’t sure why, but the bed cover this night was very warm and soft. It was so comfortable.

Gongsun hugged the warm "thing" around him and heard that "thing" take a breath.

Immediately, a hot object moved slowly around his waist, as if it were gently stroking, tickling~~

Gongsun twisted a bit with impatience.

There was another gasp.

There was a slightly hot and slippery touch on his ear, and it gradually roved from his ears to his cheek and neck, accompanied by a hot breath.

"Hmm..." Gongsun snorted softly, slowly opening his eyes, and felt a pair of lips on his own...

Gongsun, whose blood pressure was low and was often dizzy when he got up early, was disoriented by this kiss. While he was having difficulty responding, the man had opened his pajamas, and his hands started rubbing slowly along Gongsun’s waist. His head was also buried in Gongsun’s neck, kissing and licking it passionately~~

"Ah~~" Gongsun was finally awakened completely when the unfamiliar hands touched where they should not touch!!!

When he opened his eyes and looked up, he saw Bai Jintang lying on him with the look of a ravenous wolf... And his own disheveled self was obviously being regarded as breakfast~~

Gongsun, who was trying violently to get up, immediately appeared to be exuding layers of murderous energy~~~

"Bai Jintang!" With a surge of anger, he lifted his feet and tried to kick the man out of bed. Unfortunately, someone had already prepared, and he grabbed Gongsun's foot as it came towards him, bowing his head to kiss it.

............ With this action, Gongsun felt as though his head had exploded, all the way from his ears to the soles of his feet...

However, Bai Jintang's play was obviously not over yet. He grabbed Gongsun's ankle, put it on his shoulder, and made use of the opportunity. Opening his mouth, he bit the base of the thigh gently. Although there were pajamas between the two, the silky and delicate skin clearly felt the hot and moist mouth...

"You... what are you doing!" Gongsun was so desperately trying to withdraw his feet, but Bai Jintang held on tightly. The invasion of his lips and teeth gradually fell downwards.

"No... you... Ah!" Gongsun was powerless and he had to reach out and try to push Bai Jintang's head away.

"Hehe~~" Bai Jintang smiled evilly, and his scorching hot breath deliberately lingered on Gongsun’s most sensitive part, "Last night, you said it was cold and held on to me, refusing to let go. After using me as your stove for the night, shouldn’t you invite me for breakfast?" After that, he opened his mouth, moved in close, and went back to work.

"Ah! ... Stop~~ You~~"

"Good~~"

"Yeah... heh~~ hm ..."

In the next room, the twins in Santa pajamas were busy by the wall.

Da Ding stared at the two intertwined figures displayed in the thermal sensor and wiped his mouth~~

Xiao Ding wiped blood from his nose, plastered against the wall with a high-powered eavesdropping device~~

"Wow! Where is the boss kissing?"

"God, Gongsun’s exclamations are so sexy~~"

"Oh! The boss is so bold!"

"Woah~~ their gasps are so rhythmic!"

"Oh! Apparently, their temperatures are rising! Look! They have changed from yellow to red!!"

"Come on, Boss! I can’t hear Gongsun’s panting~~"

"Yeah! Yeah! What goes around comes around(1)!! Just simply indulge and forget about it!"

"That's it! Gongsun's flexibility seems to be pretty good, and his voice is also excellent~~"

"Brother, is it okay for you to be having so many nosebleeds?"

"What are you afraid of, you can just give me blood!"

"Yeah, we are both type B!!"

"Oh! Boss stopped!"

"No, how could he! He’s only halfway there!"

"Yeah! He’s really stopping!!"

"He fell short!"

………………

After half of Gongsun's strength had been eaten by Bai Jintang, he went straight to the bathroom and washed himself from head to toe.

He desperately scrubbed, rubbed hard and rubbed and rubbed and rubbed!!!

"Dammed pervert! Smelly rogue! Someday I will kill you!!! ..."

Bai Jintang leaned comfortably on Gongsun's bed to reflect on the breakfast he had just indulged in.

"Boss~~" The twins easily moved the wardrobe clogged in the doorway to the side, "Chance!!! Why didn’t you continue until the end?"

Bai Jintang glanced contemptuously at the two men and said, "Let me tell you, a man like Gongsun is like curry!"

"About that~~ Please enlighten us!!!" The twins were humbly ready to learn.

"Hehe~~" Bai Jintang remarked proudly, "You have to cook it over and over again so that it will be delicious!"

"Oh~~~" The twins nodded in admiration. "Boss, that pot of curry is behind you."

...! ... Bai Jintang turned his head around and saw Gongsun standing behind him with a murderous look, holding a bucket in his hand...

"Wait, Gongsun, calm down!!"

"Calm?" Gongsun sneered, "I am calm, and I’m going to help you calm down now, too."

He raised his hand and splashed the water~~~~

The twins retracted their heads through the doorway, and as they closed the wardrobe, they did not forget to give Gongsun a thumbs up, and said, "Well done!~~ Sister-in-law!"

"Pang~~", the empty bucket flew over and hit the closet.

Gongsun flushed with anger, panting, and when he turned back, he saw the wet Bai Jintang smiling brightly.

"Ah!!!" Gongsun rushed into the kitchen and came out with a kitchen knife, "I'll kill you! Kill you!"

"Hahahaha~~~~"

Next door

Da Ding and Xiao Ding got back on the bed.

"Well, I think Xiao Zhao should give psychological counseling to Gongsun, otherwise he will be driven crazy by the boss sooner or later!!"

"I think only the boss needs psychological counseling. If this continues, it is likely that Xiao Bai will be arrested!!"

"Arrested? On what charges?"

"Sexual harassment!!"

……………………

After sending off the furious Gongsun, Bai Jintang sat in front of the mirror and put on a tie with satisfaction.

"Boss, everything is ready." The Ding family twins said.

"I'll go to the Board of Directors by myself!" Bai Jintang turned and picked up his coat. "You two go check on something."

The twins glanced at each other. "Boss, do you want to investigate the shootings at the banquet?"

Putting on the coat, Bai Jintang laughed, "Someone wants to give me a rude awakening. We are new here, but we can't let people see that."

"Yes!" The Ding twins nodded in agreement.

"That's right!" Before going out, Bai Jintang turned back. "You’ve got a couple of smart brothers out there."

"...! ..." The twins were slightly surprised, "Boss?"

Bai Jintang laughed, "Don't worry, they don't have to do anything else. Just tell them to protect Gongsun and Xiao Zhao secretly."

"……Yes."



9 o'clock, S.C.I. office meeting room.

The information on the serial sniper cases and the red-light district slashing cases was stacked on the table.

The members of the S.C.I. all looked serious.

Bai Yutang first introduced Bai Chi to everyone, and then quickly got to the main topic.

"Yesterday's murderer is named Yang Feng, 19 years old, and he is a student in the Chemistry Department of M University." Wang Chao picked up the information and said, "His father abandoned him when he was very young, and his mother had a drug addiction. A drug overdose killed her. Three months ago, he began to commit crimes near the Red-Light District. All the cases were of prostitutes and white powder girls getting attacked, as well as the case from yesterday."

"I checked his computer!" Jiang Ping rubbed her hands and put the laptop on the table. "He also received the email. Look!"

Everyone looked at the display and saw a short line:

"Only you can rescue them!"

The signature was the same:
Killer Training Camp.

"The nature of this case needs to be redefined!" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, "Kitty, your turn."

Zhan Zhao nodded and placed the lighter sealed in an evidence bag in the middle of the table. "I thought it was just a relatively simple serial murder case, but now it looks like an organized crime case."

Bai Yutang nodded, "This Killer Training Camp is likely to be a crime-making organization."

"There’s something I don’t understand." Zhao Hu scratched his head. "Why? There’s no motivation whatsoever! There is no relationship between the victims. And if it is a professional killer organization, why are all the killers rookies?"

"Speaking of the victims, I found something very interesting!" Jiang Ping said, and quickly pulled up the folders of Qi Lei and Yang Feng on the computer.

"This is Qi Lei's computer, you see!" As she spoke, Jiang Ping opened the folder and everyone saw that it was all about the victims' personal information, including Professor Wilson and Jon King.

"Ho! So detailed? How old are you?" Ma Han looked at the data and opened a video—Immediately, an obscene scene appeared. They saw an old-fashioned man entangled with a girl...

"What is this?" Wang Chao looked at Jiang Ping.

"Oh, this old man is the second victom, a famous businessman and a philanthropist. This girl is the object of his donation." Jiang Ping opened the information.

"Animals!" Zhao Hu spat fiercely. He did that for charity?!

"There’s more than that," Jiang Ping said, "the other two victims are also hypocrites!"

"What about Dr. Wilson and Jon King?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"That part is a bit strange!" Jiang Ping said, "I’ve done a technical analysis. The evidence on the other three victims is true, but the so-called crimes of Jon King and the old doctor are fake."

"Fake?" Bai Yutang frowned.

Jiang Ping nodded, "Yes, the photos were all created with a computer. They’re not real."

"What about on Yang Feng's computer?" Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked.

"It’s the same!" Jiang Ping then opened the folder.

They saw reports on prostitutes and white powder girls. There was no detailed information about the other victims, but there was for Qi Le and the venue for the event the day before.

Bai Yutang turned to look at Zhan Zhao, "Kitty, what’s your professional analysis?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Obviously, what Qi Lei and Yang Feng have in common is that they have certain personality disorders. Qi Lei had a split personality, and Yang Feng is paranoid..... Someone has been using these characteristics to manipulate them into committing crimes."

"Qi Lei used a sniper rifle and Yang Feng used a knife and a homemade petrol bombs~~ These skills are related to their own expertise!" Said Wang Chao.

"That’s right!" Ma Han nodded. "Qi Lei studied at the shooting club, and Yang Feng is a student of the chemistry department... they used their potential very well."

"Hmm ..." Bai Chi, who had been listening next to Zhan Zhao, tugged on the corner of his clothes. Since coming to the S.C.I., Xiao Bai Chi had followed Zhan Zhao like a puppy following its owner. It was obvious to everyone that he was shy.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao turned to look at him.

"I... I want to speak~~" Bai Chi said carefully.

"Oh~~~~" Everyone in S.C.I. was amused. Bai Chi became even more timid when he saw everyone laughing at him.

"Say it." Zhan Zhao said, "I also want to hear your opinion."

"..." Bai Chi blushed and lowered his head. "That, Qi Lei, and Yang Feng are both students from M University... Their information could have been leaked from the school's database... you can hack the campus network database to see who has visited their profiles... "

"Slap!" Jiang Ping slammed the table.

Scared, Bai Chi almost bit his tongue and subconsciously grabbed Zhan Zhao's sleeve.

"Good boy! Why didn't I think of that?" Jiang Ping jumped up and rushed to her computer. "It’s just a school’s small website! It’ll be hacked in ten minutes!!"

…………

The eyes of everyone looking at Bai Chi immediately changed.

Zhan Zhao patted him, "Very good."

"Really... really?" Bai Chi blinked and stared at Bai Yutang timidly. Bai Yutang smiled at him with approval. Immediately, Bai Chi blushed and lowered his head, clutching the corner of Zhan Zhao’s clothes.

Zhan Zhao looked at him and shook his head. It was not easy to be a child in the Bai family.

"Ma Han, what about you?" Bai Yutang asked.

"I walked around the shooting club and listened in on one of their theory classes. It was not easy." Ma Han tapped his chin with his fingers.

"Not easy?" Bai Yutang looked at him with interest.

"It seemed inadvertent, but the lecturers deliberately revealed some knowledge about sniping." Ma Han said, "Moreover, after I applied for a membership card, they didn’t provide air guns for me to practice. They provided real, lethal guns. "

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao and was about to speak, but he heard Jiang Ping shouting from in front of the computer just outside, "Boss! Boss! I found it!"

Everyone rushed out.

Jiang Ping pointed at the computer screen and said with some excitement, "I entered the administrator program of the campus network and found that within the last six months, there was an ID that visited the two people's profile pages multiple times.”

"Can you find out who it is?" Bai Yutang's eyes flashed with excitement.

"I called the telecommunications company just now and they gave me a name." She said and handed a note with a name on it to Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang glanced at the name and asked Zhan Zhao with a smile, "Kitty, are you familiar with this name?"

Zhan Zhao looked at the name on the note: Jia Zhengyan.

"Qi Lei's class teacher?" Zhan Zhao asked in surprise.

"Hehe..." Bai Yutang sneered, "Qi Lei is his student, so it makes sense that he looked at his information. However, Yang Feng is in no way related to him. Why would Jia Zhengyan look at his?"

"Boss! We should keep an eye on him!" Zhao Hu said.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Yes, we will watch him! But you’ve already been exposed. Wang Chao, Zhang Long, you two go!"

"Yes!"

"Then... what about me?" Zhao Hu asked anxiously.

"You?" Bai Yutang turned him to the direction of the meeting room. Qi Le was sitting in it. "You watch this girl 24 hours a day. Someone wants to kill her, and she must know something! "

The meeting quickly broke up. Everyone else was busy, so Ma Han followed Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang into the office. "Boss! I have an idea!"

Bai Yutang looked at him and sighed, "You, do you want to go undercover at the shooting club?"

"Yup!" Ma Han nodded earnestly: "There must be something wrong with that club. I want to pretend to be their next available target, just..."

"It's just that you have to pretend to be a mess. It's best to have a personality disorder at first glance." Zhan Zhao said and smiled, "Right?"

"Ha ha." Ma Han scratched his head, embarrassed. "Dr. Zhan, you really can read minds... I'm afraid that the manipulator is very professional. I don’t want him to see through me at first glance."

"Are you sure you want to go? It can be dangerous and very, very tiring to pretend to be crazy!" Zhan Zhao asked Ma Han seriously.

"En!" Ma Han nodded forcefully.

"Very well!"

Later, Zhan Zhao sat down and explained to Ma Han the causes of personality splits, their specific symptoms, their characteristics, etc... not to mention Ma Han, even Bai Yutang and Bai Chi off to the side were trembling~~

Two hours later, Zhan Zhao patted Ma Han's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "You’re all set!"

Ma Han jumped happily. "I’ll do it this afternoon!"

"Wait a minute!" Bai Yutang called to him, "Experiment before you go!"

"Experiment?" The other three looked at him at the same time. How?

Bai Yutang pointed to Zhan Zhao’s office next door. “Later, I will ask someone to go in. If you can convince him that you have a split personality, I will let you go! "

Ma Han walked confidently into Zhan Zhao's office, and Bai Yutang shouted outside, "Zhao Hu~~~"

Zhao Hu ran in with coffee. "Boss, what's the matter?"

Bai Yutang sighed, "Are you familiar with Ma Han?"

Zhao Hu nodded. "Yes."

Zhan Zhao frowned. "There’s something wrong with Ma Han. He didn’t say anything when we asked him about it, so you had better go in and see."

"???" Zhao Hu stunned, "What happened to him? Is he broken-hearted?"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao shook their heads. "Go and look. He is in the office next door."

"Okay!" Zhao Hu turned and ran next door.

Upon entering the room, he saw Ma Han sitting idly in a chair, looking up at the sky with dull eyes.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Hu got closer and asked while drinking his coffee.

Ma Han slowly lowered his head and stared into Zhao Hu's eyes. "What do I do? I think I’m finished."

Zhao Hu drank more coffee. "Hey, come on. It’s not the first time you’ve lost your love."

Ma Han watched him silently for a while and then slowly said, "I think I have a woman in my body..."

"Oh~~~~" Zhao Hu's mouthful of coffee was sprayed into Ma Han's face.

………………

Ten minutes later, Ma Han walked out of the office leisurely. He turned to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, who were waiting at the door, showed them a V-sign, and left.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang immediately pushed open the door and saw Zhao Hu sitting idly on the sofa as if he had been hit hard.

"Tiger (2), are you okay?" Bai Yutang whispered.

"Ah~~" Zhao Hu looked at Bai Yutang, then his eyes shifted to Zhan Zhao. "Doctor~~~ Look at me. I also seem to have a split personality..."

………—口—

Bai Yutang pointed at the door and said, "That, just now, Ma Han..."

"Oh!" Zhao Hu nodded, and then muttered, "He is very divided!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "What about you?"

Zhao Hu tilted his head: "I... I think I'm being divided..."

…………

Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao back and closed the door for Zhao Hu. The two returned expressionlessly to Bai Yutang's office and closed the door.

Three seconds later, everyone heard an earthshaking roar of laughter coming from that office. Even Bai Chi at the door was holding his stomach, laughing so hard that he couldn't stand... In the laughter, everything is simple and pure.



Translation Notes:

(1) Idiom: Even a submissive daughter-in-law will one day become a domineering mother-in-law


(2) Bai Yutang calls Zhao Hu “Hu Zi” as a play on his name. It means “tiger cub.”
