S.C.I. Mystery Vol. 1, Ch. 45

T/L Note: I will admit that this time I was late because I was re-watching the drama of S.C.I. lol. I’ll read through it for editing later.

Killer Training Camp 17: Retribution (End of Case File)

At 9:00 p.m., outside an expensive apartment building in S City.

Zhang Long and Wang Chao had been in the car all day and all night.

"Either she hasn't returned yet or perhaps she’s been asleep?", Zhang Long asked Wang Chao while looking at the window on the twelfth floor that had remained dark, puzzled.

"That, or the windows of her apartment are specially made?" Wang Chao shrugged.

At that moment, a luxurious black car entered the community and stopped in front of the apartment.

"Hey! Who is that?" Wang Chao immediately became spirited.

"We caught a big fish!!!" Zhang Long quickly took out a small camera to record them.

As soon as the door was opened, a well-dressed man got out of the car. He opened the door on the other side, and Fang Jing came out wearing a luxurious dress.

"Oh oh~~" Zhang Long raised an eyebrow. "What do you think they were doing?"

"Hmmm~~ Maybe they were celebrating Gongsun’s death." Wang Chap opened his laptop.

The two quickly entered the apartment, so Zhang Long stopped shooting. He imported the video he had just taken to the computer.

At the S.C.I. headquarters, Jiang Ping received the video file.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came over to see it.

"Kitty, this Fang Jing feels strange." Bai Yutang frowned.

Jiang Ping also agreed, "Yeah, in photos she looks fairly plain and simple, and in the entertainment magazines she seems pretty and flirtatious~~ In this video she is full of grandeur..."

"Aren't women all like that?" Xu Qing asked.

Zhan Zhao kept silent, and after watching the video over and over again, he suddenly said, "Zhang Hua said that Fang Jing had been abroad. Which country?"

After finding the information on Fang Jing, Jiang Ping said, "The immigration record says that she came from California in the United States six years ago."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Where was Professor Wilson?"

Jiang Ping looked it up, "Ha, the same place."

"Kitty, do you think they have a relationship?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao nodded. "According to Zhang Hua, Fang Jing used to take drugs, right?"

"Yes." Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao.

"As far as I know, Professor Wilson has always advocated for quitting drug addiction through psychotherapy." Zhan Zhao reached out and turned the keyboard in front of Jiang Pingping towards himself and entered in the address of a foreign psychology website.

Soon, the web page was displaying detailed reports about Professor Wilson's successful use of psychology to help drug users quit.

Jiang Ping took the keyboard back and typed quickly.

"What are you doing?" Bai Yutang asked in puzzlement.

"I'm looking for one of my American friends. He might be able to help me figure something out."

"What does your friend do?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.

"Oh~~ He’s a hacker who specifically attacks government websites. He might be able to access the network of psychological medical institutions and help me find some hidden and unknown private treatment information." Jiang Ping continued typing on the keyboard, "Look, there is a reply. It's good dtuff."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went up to look at the screen, and saw that it was a brief registration document about psychological treatment. The patient was Fang Jing, and her doctor was Professor Wilson.

"They are indeed related." Bai Yutang frowned. "Fang Jing is just Wilson's pawn."

"No..." Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "It might not be that simple."

"What else could it be?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao puzzledly.

"Look at Fang Jing staring at Pang Yu's eyes." Zhan Zhao pointed to a still picture from the video and said, "The eyes cannot lie."

Everyone else seriously looked at Fang Jing in the picture. Fang Jing was looking at Pang Yu intently with the eyes of someone who was obviously in love.

Bai Yutang seemed a little confused, "What does this mean?"

Zhan Zhao frowned and thought, "Jiang Ping, you search for information about the annual meeting of international psychological institutions. I recall it should be coming up soon."

"Okay." Jiang Ping tapped on the keyboard, and the messages were displayed one by one. "It's in just three days."

"Search for Pang Yu again." Zhan Zhao held the table with one hand, anxious.

"Ah..." Everyone looked at the search results displayed in surprise, "Pang Yu will announce his award-winning paper, ‘The Developement and Evolution of Personality,’ at this annual Psychology conference."

"Heavens~~" Zhan Zhao sighed.

"Kitty, what do you mean?" Bai Yutang looked perplexed.

"This means that a poor woman has become a pawn in a battle between two psychopaths." Zhan Zhao's face was grim," Xiao Bai, do you remember that Jon King said his lover had been treated by Professor Wilson? And that he died."

"I remember." Bai Yutang nodded, "He said it was suicide... you mean…"

Zhan Zhao nodded. "What would happen if Fang Jing also committed suicide?"

"Ah~~~" Bai Yutang said, "I understand. Killing Jia Zhengyan and Zhang Hua and trying to kill Gongsun isn’t because they’re afraid of us finding out that Fang Jing was connected to this case. It is because they do not want to let people know that Fang Jing used drugs and did Wilson's treatment. In addition, as soon as Fang Jing dies, everything about the ‘Killer Training Camp’ can be pushed to her because all the evidence we have directly points to her. "

"In that case, Professor Wilson and Pang Yu would have no connection to it." Bai Chi, who had been listening intently, looked irate, "She really is a complete victim."

"Do we have a way to stop it?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

"I need to see her," Zhan Zhao said, "the sooner the better."

Bai Yutang took out the phone and called Zhang Long.

"Boss, Pang Yu just left." Zhang Long said when he answered the phone.

"That is to say, Fang Jing is alone at home now?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, "What should I do?"

"Don't worry." Zhan Zhao said, "She should be fine right now because Pang Yu has just left. If she committed suicide now, he would inevitably be involved."

"Let’s go!" Bai Yutang picked up his coat and said to Zhan Zhao, "Let's switch with Zhang Long and Wang Chao."

"I'll go too," Bai Chi said immediately.

The three quickly drove to the neighborhood of Fang Jing's residence and replaced Zhang Long and Wang Chao.

"Kitty, what’s your plan?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao looked up at the dark window of Fang Jing's apartment and said, "I suspect that Wilson has used illegal treatments in the past."

"What?" Bai Yutang was bewildered.

"Fang Jing didn't look right," Zhan Zhao explained. "She seemed like she was on the edge, very unstable and fickle."

Bai Chi and Bai Yutang looked at each other and shook their heads in puzzlement, "I don’t see that."

Zhan Zhao looked at the brothers helplessly, "Do you remember Professor Wilson's dissertation on personality splitting?"

"I remember it." Bai Chi nodded.

Bai Yutang looked at the two, "I remember a little bit~~"

"Hoo~~~" Zhan Zhao sighed. "Actually, the research done by the Killer Training Camp, the research for Pang Yu's paper, feels like what Wilson discovered decades ago. "

"So?" The two Bais tilted their heads together.

"That is to say, Wilson's current research should now go a step further now. He is likely able to create a split personality." Zhan Zhao touched his chin with one hand and slowly said, "Fang Jing's situation is like having an awakened second personality, and that personality is not used by her."

A look of revelation crossed Bai Yutang’s face. "Ah~~ Do you mean that Pang Yu and Wilson control her personality? That can also explain the difference between the first two types of victims we talked about this morning! Qi Lei and Yang Feng’s victims were randomly selected by Pang Yu for academic research. The others were selected by Wilson in order to draw our attention to the 'Killer Training Camp.’”

"Smart!" Zhan Zhao agreed, "I think that when Fang Jing was treated before, Wilson discovered that she met his experimental requirements and stimulated her second personality. He has always maintained control of her other personality... he learned about Pang Yu's research and the "Killer Training Camp" before he could use it. These two men seem to be trying to compete academically... "

Both Bai Chi and Bai Yutang are silent. This behavior was too crazy. Humans are like a pyramid and the relationships between people is the most primitive ecological food chain... The creatures on the top can easily feed on those on the bottom or use them as pieces in a game~~ How cruel.

The time passed minute by minute and the sky brightened. Bai Chi had fallen asleep quietly in the back seat, and Bai Yutang was as awake as ever. However, in a rare occurrence, the sleep-loving Zhan Zhao stayed completely aware until dawn... Bai Yutang could feel a kind of compassion from him. This person always sympathized with all the unfortunate people in the world.

The appearance of a person at the door of the apartment let Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao's anxious hearts relax. The two got up and watched Fang Jing as she came out. They saw her walk into a nearby convenience store. Zhan Zhao got out of the car immediately, and turned back to Bai Yutang, who was about to talk to him, "Let me go. I will talk to her alone."

Nodding, Bai Yutang watched Zhan Zhao run towards the convenience store.

……………………

About ten minutes later, Fang Jing walked out alone and returned to the apartment.

Bai Yutang stared anxiously at the door of the convenience store. After a moment, Zhan Zhao walked out as well with a look of fatigue and returned to the car.

"How are you?" Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao to his side and leaned him on his shoulder.

"Well, Fang Jing should..."

"I asked about you!" Bai Yutang interrupted harshly.

Zhan Zhao froze for a moment, then comfortingly nodded on Bai Yutang’s shoulder, "I'm fine. Get ready for the midday riots. We have to perform another show, and this time we’re really going to catch a big fish."

"Well, you take a break first. I will arrange it." Bai Yutang reached out and stroked Zhan Zhao's hair lightly.

Zhan Zhao laughed, "Do you even know what I'm thinking?"

"Heh," Bai Yutang said proudly, "Whatever you think can never escape my eyes. You are an expert on research, but I am an expert on you." The tail end of his words was drowned in a light and shallow kiss. In the back seat, Xiao Bai Chi closed his eyes tightly, his face flushed and his eyelashes trembling~~~



In the afternoon news of S City, there was a new headline: "Fang Jing, a well-known film and television agent, was found dead at home by her friend. According to the police's preliminary investigation, she committed suicide by poisoning. She wrote a suicide note saying that she was the mastermind of a recent series of murders, and the police have also found a lot of relevant evidence in her home regarding this."

The person in front of the TV watched the chaotic scene in the video with satisfaction. Sipping the wine in their glass, they smiled smugly. They raised the glass to the air a little and seemed to be inviting someone to have a drink.



Everyone in the S.C.I. office was busy. Lu Fang brought a person in and said, "Xiao Zhan, someone is looking for you."

Everyone looked up and saw Pang Yu carrying his luggage.

Pang Yu smiled and greeted Zhan Zhao, "Dr. Zhan, we meet again."

"Hello." Zhan Zhao shook hands politely with him.

"I'm going to the annual Psychology conference." Pang Yu said with a smile, "Have you read my dissertation? I would love to hear your opinions."

Zhan Zhao shook his head. "Sorry, I've been busy recently. I haven't seen it."

"Oh, I hope you have time to take a look. I am eager for your opinion." Pang Yu around, "Right! Why have you never participated in the conferences and awards for Psychology? With your accomplishments and status, there should be a lot of opportunities.” Pang Yu turned back and asked before leaving.

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "You wouldn't understand."

Pang Yu shrugged a little with regret, then nodded, said "bye", and left.

Jiang Ping kicked the stool beside her, "God, he’s too cheap."

Zhan Zhao's eyes were still looking out the door, and he slowly said, "There will be retribution."

"Kitty, have you always believed that?" Bai Yutang asked curiously and put on his coat.

Zhan Zhao gave a nod with an unknown meaning and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Of course!" Bai Yutang shook the car key in his hand, "I can depart at any time."

"Will you also come, Bai Chi?" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Chi, who looked eager.

"Um... en." Bai Chi nodded timidly and blushed~~~

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao stared at each other—what had happened to this child??



"Has my wife taken her medication?" Wilson asked the nurse as he looked out the floor-to-ceiling window in the luxurious villa at Laura sunning herself in the center of the courtyard.

"She took it." The nurse left after answering.

Wilson poured himself a glass of vodka, and the spirits stimulated his nerves. Feeling rather good, he stared affectionately at his peaceful wife through the window, "Laura, my baby, you are my last Son of God... "

"Master," a maid knocked on the door and said to Wilson, "These two police officers said there was something important and they had to see you."

Outside the door, Zhan Zhao and Baiyutang nodded politely to Wilson.

"...Oh! Zhan and Officer Bai. Why are you here?" Wilson's enthusiasm was restored immediately after the momentary shock. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other openly.

"Professor Wilson, we have a list here." Bai Yutang handed the list to Wilson. "Everyone here had a split personality and committed suicide after your treatment. We have reasons to suspect that you have been engaged in illegal treatment, the criminal use of patients, etc. "

"Hehe~~" Wilson shook his head helplessly. "I don't understand what you’re saying."

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Doctor, we have submitted the case to Interpol, and we have been given permission to arrest you and transfer you."

Bai Yutang took out a document, "Do you need to see the arrest warrant?"

The smile on Wilson's face waned. "You have no evidence. Why arrest me?"

Bai Yutang laughed, "If you want evidence, I think, the best is right here." Then, he waved at the door, and Bai Chi came in with Fang Jing.

Wilson looked at Fang Jing in disbelief, "How did you... you should..."

"She should be dead, shouldn’t she?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Zhan! It was you, right? What did you do to her? How could this happen?" Wilson yelled, out of control.

"It's just hypnosis." Zhan Zhao said, "Short duration, fast, through language."

"What, you, how could you do it... how is that possible?" Wilson shook his head uncontrollably. "How did you do that?"

At that point, Bai Yutang had walked over and handcuffed Wilson, but Wilson was obviously more interested in what Zhan Zhao had done and kept asking.

Zhan Zhao thought he was ridiculous, and shook his head, saying, "What is psychology in your heart? Is it medicine or magic? Or is it a manipulative spell?!"

"Tell me! I want to know! Tell me! How did you do it?!" Wilson struggled, looking at Zhan Zhao.

"The trigger is a colored pill, and the command is sleep." Zhan Zhao said, "As long as she sees a colored pill, she will enter deep sleep, and I when I give another command, she will wake up."

"Haha..." Wilson burst out laughing. "Genius! Genius... You are indeed a rare psychological wizard in the world... Zhan! Zhan, you are the true Son of the Gods ... Zhan..."

Bai Yutang pushed Wilson roughly to the police officer outside, "Take him away."

Wilson was taken out, his mouth still screaming. The famous psychologist, the person who had controlled others, now appeared to be the real lunatic.

"Are you okay?" Bai Chi walked to Zhan Zhao with some concern. "Don't mind him."

Zhan Zhao smiled and touched his head. "It doesn't matter." His gaze fell on Laura outside of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"What's wrong, Kitty?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao slowly turned back and asked Bai Yutang, "Do you remember that I told you that if killing a very bad person could save a lot of good people, then I would also kill..."

Bai Yutang watched Zhan Zhao for a long time, and said, "Kitty, just do what you want."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and Bai Yutang pulled him out. As he left the room, Zhan Zhao finally looked back at Laura with pity in his eyes.

Laura sat quietly, stroking a pocket pistol in her hand, and mechanically repeated, "I am your Son of God... the last Son of God..."



At noon the next day, the S.C.I. office was very busy.

Ma Han and Zhao Hu had returned from their missions, and there was news from Interpol that Wilson had been prosecuted. This case was successfully concluded.

The Ding family's twins brought champagne and food, and everyone began to celebrate.

"Ai~~" Ma Han drank a bottle of champagne and sighed, "It's a pity that that kid Pang Yu got away."

"Not necessarily~~" The door was pushed open and Lu Fang came in with a CD and said, "let me show you something."

It was a news video. At the Annual International Psychology Meeting, a shooting incident had occurred. Young psychologist Pang Yu was shot and killed. The shot was taken by the wife of well-known psychology professor Wilson Brown, Mrs. Laura. Later, doctors confirmed that Mrs. Laura had severe personality division. She was under the control of her husband and needed to be admitted to hospital for treatment.

The people in S.C.I. were all silent. Lu Fang turned off the video and asked, "Do you believe that there is retribution? Both Wilson and Pang Yu got what they deserved!"

Everyone turned to look at Zhan Zhao at once.

"What?" Zhan Zhao shrugged, his face blank, "It is indeed retribution~~~"

Afterwards, the S.C.I. celebration was even more lively. Everyone was happy, Xiao Bai Chi was holding a wine glass, blushing and lying on the sofa, vaguely talking about popcorn, cantaloupe and so on. He watched the crowd of elder brothers, drooling. The team spirit was high—so cute~~

In the chaotic office, no one was missing the few people who were absent.

In the prison's interview room, Fang Jing looked at Gongsun in front of her and smiled sadly, "I'm sorry..."

Gongsun shook his head. "Pang Yu is dead."

Fang Jing froze slightly, faint tears in her eyes, "My life is a failure, isn't it?"

Gongsun looked at her quietly and reached out to wipe her tears, "It's not your fault. It is not wrong to love or be loved. Even if it hurts, it can be forgiven if the starting point is love."

Stepping out of the interview room, Gongsun saw Bai Jintang standing outside, waiting.

Bai Jintang opened the car door for him, but Gongsun shook his head, "I want to walk."

"Your body..." Bai Jintang had just wanted to speak but was interrupted by the look in Gongsun's eyes.

Gongsun stared fiercely at him and laughed, "Who said that he would always listen to me?"

"Okay~~ Okay~~ Walk! We’ll walk!" Bai Jintang happily followed.

The twins following in the distance continue to mourn for their boss—Vanquished! Their boss has been thoroughly tamed by Gongsun~~~

In front of the prison gate, Jon King was ready to get in a car. He was to be transferred back from China to serve his sentence in his own country.

Zhan Zhao walked to the car and handed a document to him, "Your friend's treatment record."

Jon took it and opened it. The smile on the photo was as bright as ever.

Zhan Zhao said, "I have read his treatment report. He committed suicide because he wanted to protect you. His other personality was ordered to kill you... He did not commit suicide because of his vulnerability, but because he loved you."

Jon held the document tightly and sat in the car blankly. His tears fell endlessly.

Zhan Zhao slowly walked out of the gate of the prison and looked back at the huge cage. It was like hell, one layer after another, shutting away countless unforgivable evil spirits. However, just like the definition of Hell in Divine Comedy, it existed not so much to punish the evil spirits, but instead to let the dead rest in peace, and more importantly, to save the souls who lingered on the edge of Hell.

Beneath the long staircase, Bai Yutang smiled up at him while leaning on his gorgeous sports car. Some people believe that it is easier to change mountains and rivers than someone’s nature, but other people believe a person could easily become either a demon or a Buddha. The key is being able to see who around you truly loves you and who deserves your love.

Zhan Zhao ran down the steps and came up to Bai Yutang.

"Want to go to the concert?" Bai Yutang took out two tickets.

"Qi Le’s?" Zhan Zhao asked as he looked at the ticket in surprise.

"She just left." Bai Yutang pointed into the distance. “She just gave me the tickets and left. She said that she wanted to get clean and asked if you would give her treatment."

"You did it for them, right?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang as he got into the, "You let them take the reaudition."

Bai Yutang shrugged, "Who knows?" He started the car. "Pang Yu asked you that day why you never go to those international conferences, awards, and the like. You said he would never understand."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "In general, I think psychologists are ultimately doctors, and what is a doctor's job?"

"Ah~~" Bai Yutang nodded, "I see, people like him would never understand~~ Cats are indeed cats."

"You're back at that again, that saying with no logic?"

"Who said there’s no logic? Do you mean that cats are not cats?"

"Dammed Mouse!"

"How could you hit people?"

"It was a Mouse!"

"... Okay!" He leaned over and kissed Zhan Zhao!

"What are you doing?!" Wipe!

"What? I just kissed a cat!"

"I’ll kill you!"

"Cat! I'm driving~~"

"Doesn’t matter!!"

The car continued to move forward in an S-shape.

Who said, "When everything is over, it’s actually far from over..."
