S.C.I Mystery Series Volume 2 Chapter 31
Murderer vs Murderer 04 - Gathering
All of the SCI members arrived at Bai Xian Ju after they got off work. Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao, and Bai Chi went to pick up Zhao Zhen before they arrived. Da Ding and Xiao Ding waited for everyone at the door. As soon as they saw them coming, Xiao Ding rushed over to pick up Luoyang and kissed his cheek. He hugged the child and ran to the aquarium to play.
Bai Xian Ju’s aquarium was made with great effort and it
look like a professional aquarium. It contains various kinds of fish that are
rarely seen in the market. Xiao Ding held Luoyang and showed him all of the
fish from one end of the aquarium to the other, making him smile.
The others entered the private room. Gongsun looked around
and found that Bai Jintang was not there, so he asked Da Ding, “Where is he?”
Da Ding pointed to the lounge not far away, and said, "He’s
on the phone."
Gongsun nodded and went to the lounge.
The door of the lounge was slightly open, so Gongsun pushed
gently on the door. He saw that there was no one inside.
‘Did he go to the toilet?’ Gongsun thought and he opened the
door. As soon as he stepped into the room, he was hugged by an arm that was
stretched out beside him.
"Ah..." Gongsun yelled in surprise, only to see
that Bai Jintang was hiding behind the door and had attacked him.
"How old are you?" Gongsun was shocked and
unwilling. As he was struggling, Bai Jintang pressed him against the wall and
kissed him fiercely.
Bai Jintang's hand was groping around Gongsun's waist when
he felt a few round and hard objects in his trouser pocket. Bai Jintang smiled and
bit Gongsun's ear, "What are these?"
Gongsun swatted his hand away. He took out the two cellphone
charms from his pocket and gave the dog to Bai Jintang, "Yangyang bought
it for you. He said it looks like you."
Unsurprisingly, Gongsun saw Bai Jintang's mouth twitched,
and he hurriedly added, "Yangyang has a heart. You have to use it."
"No, I don’t think so…" Bai Jintang looked
miserable.
Gongsun took out his little fox and said, "This one is
mine."
Bai Jintang stared at the little fox for a while, then
smiled, "I like yours better." As he said it, he reached out and
grabbed Gongsun's hand to exchange charms with him. He then kissed Gongsun
again and kissed him hard.
After the two had kissed long enough, they left the lounge
and saw Luoyang coming over with Xiao Ding in the corridor. Luoyang was still a
little nervous when he saw Bai Jintang, probably because the aura around him
was heavy. However, Luoyang still obediently called out “Uncle Bai.”
Bai Jintang nodded. He stretched his hand out and gently
touched Yangyang's head, saying, "Good boy."
Xiao Ding trembled, and secretly thought ‘Brother seems to
be in an extremely good mood.’
Everyone sat down and waited for a while. When Bai Yutang,
Zhan Zhao, Bai Chi, and Zhao Zhen came with Lisbon, it was already time for
dinner and there were a lot of people eating in the dining room on the first
floor. The handsome guys were already very eye-catching, and behind them there
was a majestic male lion. Although he was lazy and didn't even look at the
people around him, he still attracted everyone's attention.
The hotel waiter had long heard that the white-clothed man
was Bai Jintang’s younger brother, and he hurriedly led him to the private room
upstairs.
After entering the private room, everyone first took a look
at Zhao Zhen's condition. They saw that his complexion was already much healthier
and they he was still the same as before; they were relieved. Luoyang hadn't
seen Lisbon for a long time, so he hugged and rubbed him constantly. He also
hung the charm of the little white lion on the collar around Lisbon's neck. When
Lisbon was hugged by Luoyang, he purred comfortably.
Everyone was familiar with each other, so when they all sat down,
they began chatting. Soon, someone came to serve their food. The chef Bai
Jintang hired this time was incredible; although he is not too old, he is a
master fish chef known as the "Fish God". A yellow-lipped fish that
was over one meter long was divided into several pieces and each main dish was
created based on the characteristics of the specific body part it was made
from. There were also side dishes that complemented all of the flavours. The
combinations of flavours made everyone smile and sing praise for the food.
The fish-loving Zhan Zhao found it so delicious that he almost
licked his lips and let out a ‘meow’ sound. He was so beautiful.
Their dinner lasted until past ten o’clock in the evening before everyone left. Because they had all had some wine, no one could drive. Bai Jintang asked someone to drive their cars back while they all talked home to digest the food.
Luoyang was already asleep on Luo Tian's shoulders, so Luo
Tian took a taxi and left first. Ma Han and Zhao Hu, who lived in the same direction
tagged along.
Bai Chi and Zhao Zhen walked back slowly with Lisbon. Zhao
Zhen saw Lisbon belching contentedly, so he smiled and said, "Big Brother
Bai is really interesting."
"En." Bai Chi nodded and asked, "Is it okay
for you to walk home? Will you be tired? Why don't we take a taxi back?"
Zhao Zhen smiled, "Where is there a driver who is willing
to take Lisbon?" As he said it, he reached his hand out and held Bai Chi's
hand.
Although it was quite late, there were still people walking
on the sidewalk. It was already eye-catching enough to walk around with a big
lion, let alone the two guys proudly holding hands.
Bai Chi saw that people were looking at them strangely so he
wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was grasped by Zhao Zhen. Seeing that Bai Chi
still wanted to pull his hand out, Zhan Zhen asked, “You don’t even want to
hold hands?”
"There’s a lot of people..." Bai Chi whispered.
“Who cares if there’s people?” Zhao Zhen stared, “We aren’t
breaking the law by falling in love.”
Bai Chi blushed a little, "That… But we don't have to
let everyone in the world know, right?"
"I want everyone in the world to know." Zhao Zhen
raised his eyebrows, and Bai Chi saw that his face was a little red. He thought
in his heart — ‘He drank too much didn’t he?’
As he was thinking, Zhao Zhen pulled him in and put his arms
around him. Bai Chi stiffened. Before he had a chance to react, Zhao Zhen had
lowered his head, gently lifted his chin, and kissed him.
The two had already reached the end of the street. Under the
street light, Zhao Zhen kissed Bai Chi while pretending to be a little drunk.
Of course, Xiao Bai Chi knew that Zhao Zhen was not drunk at all. Because of
his health issues, Bai Chi only let him drink a few cups.
Bai Chi felt as though Zhao Zhen’s actions had a bit of hesitance
and probing in them. However, Bai Chi couldn’t bear to push him away. He could
only comfort himself with the thought that Zhao Zhen was hurt so he should let
him do as he pleases; and so, he opened his mouth slightly with a bit of indulgence.
Zhao Zhen received the obvious encouragement, so he hugged Bai Chi tighter and
deepened the kiss.
Bai Chi was inexperienced, so he could only follow Zhao Zhen’s
movements. He put his arms around Zhao Zhen and kissed him casually. He was a
little out of breath.
Lisbon sat next to the two of them. Seeing that they didn’t intend
to stop kissing for a while, he simply laid down and rested, thinking about the
delicious beef he had just eaten.
……
Xiao Ding had drunk too much and he pulled Da Ding in to hug
him. Da Ding had no choice but to walk back with his drunk brother on his back.
Their elder brother had been disloyal and slipped away with Gongsun. As they
were going the same way as Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, Da Ding followed behind
them with Xiao Ding cursing on his back.
Bai Jintang hadn't taken a walk after dinner for a long
time. He put his suit jacket over his arm and unbuttoned his shirt's neckline.
He pulled Gongsun and walked slowly. There was lots of traffic on one side of
the sidewalk and the bright lights of the commercial district of S City on the
other.
Gongsun asked suddenly, "Is your business going
well?"
Bai Jintang was a little surprised, and asked with a smile,
"I never thought you cared about what I'm doing."
Gongsun raised his eyebrows, "I’m just asking."
"It’s going well." Bai Jintang took Gongsun's hand
and kissed the back of it.
Gongsun saw that Bai Jintang's original tidy hair had fallen
slightly on his forehead. He felt that it looked handsome, as he usually looked
too serious. Thinking about it, he suddenly reached his hand out and rubbed Bai
Jintang's hair.
Bai Jintang looked at Gongsun powerlessly. Tonight's Gongsun
seemed to be particularly childish. This person was really a devil; sometimes
cold and sometimes particularly enthusiastic. In short, it was difficult to
tell.
"Many magazines are reporting on your entrepreneurial
story recently." Gongsun smiled and looked at Bai Jintang, "There’s
one magazine called Magnificent Emergence."
"Oh?" Bai Jintang was curious, "What does it
say?"
“It says that your background is not that simple. Some sat
that you were born in the underworld and other say that you made money by
selling weapons.” Gongsun said to Bai Jintang. “In short, there are different
opinions.”
Bai Jintang smiled and shook his head, "It’s all nonsense."
"Then how did you get started back then?" Gongsun
asked curiously.
Bai Jintang smiled and stretched his hand out to pinch Gongsun’s
chin, "Are you interested in my past?"
Gongsun still raised his eyebrows, "Forget it."
“It started with setting up a stall.” Bai Jintang casually
said.
"Huh?" Gongsun puzzled.
"I started by selling French fries at San Siro Stadium
in Milan." Bai Jintang said half-jokingly and half-seriously. "The
twins were with me back then and we used the money to pay for a car.”
Gongsun was a little bit dumbfounded, "So simple?"
"At that time, it was just making money." Bai
Jintang shrugged indifferently, "I didn't want to use the money the old
man gave me."
Gongsun looked disbelief, "Really?"
Bai Jintang nodded, "Why would I lie to you? By the
way, are you free on Sunday?"
"Hmm..." Gongsun thought for a while and asked,
"Are we going far?"
Bai Jintang said, "It’s far. It's best to take a week
off."
"That long?" Gongsun thought for a while,
"The latest case hasn’t been solved. I may not be able to leave."
"Then we will wait until the case is over." Bai
Jintang said, "I will call Bao Sir and have him give you a week off."
"Where are we going?" Gongsun was puzzled.
Bai Jintang said, "We’re going to Denmark."
Gongsun blinked and asked puzzledly, "Why are we going
to Denmark?"
Bai Jintang turned to look at Gongsun, and said, "You
have something in your pocket."
Gongsun reached his hand into his pocket and felt something.
What he took out was a diamond ring that was a bit outrageous but still quite
tasteful. He looked up at Bai Jintang, "This trick is really
old-fashioned."
Bai Jintang smiled, "I’m not young anymore." As he
spoke, he put the ring onto Gongsun's ring finger. "Since we’re both not
young anymore, let's get married."
Gongsun was taken aback.
Bai Jintang leaned in and kissed him, "I have checked.
The procedures in Denmark are the simplest, and the rights of same-sex couples
are the same as those of the opposite sex."
Seeing that Gongsun opened his mouth as if he wanted to say
something, Bai Jintang shook his head. He held up his face and said, "If
you refuse, then I will ask the twins to kidnap you." After he finished
speaking, he kissed him.
Gongsun sighed in his heart, thinking — "Why would I
refuse?"
......
Xiao Ding was drunk and acted crazy all the way. Zhan Zhao
and Bai Yutang looked at Da Ding carrying his younger brother with some sympathy.
At first, Bai Yutang was annoyed, complaining in his heart —
‘Don’t hinder the alone time of Cat and I!’
However, as they kept walking, he felt like something was
off. They listened to Xiao Ding yelling "Huh, bad guy! I’m going to ignore
you!" and watched him beating, punching, and kicking Da Ding.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and sensed
that there was gossip!
Da Ding was beaten and scolded, but he had no choice but to give
in, "Well, yes, I am a bastard, you have a point..."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other again — ‘What
did Da Ding do to Xiao Ding?’
"You are blind as a bat, going to provoke that
vixen." Xiao Ding said with resentment on his face, "You saw her and forgot
about your brother, so inconsiderate!"
Da Ding was helpless, "How was I inconsiderate? I
already told you that you misunderstood." Turning around, he saw Zhan Zhao
and Bai Yutang listening to them intently. Da Ding was helpless, "Don't
listen to his nonsense, I didn’t do anything.”
Bai Yutang couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
"A while ago there was a business partner who insisted
on introducing his sister to me." Da Ding helplessly explained,
"Because it is an old customer who we can't offend, I accepted and met
her. Then he became hostile towards me.”
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, looking at Bai Yutang — ‘Xiao
Ding’s brotherly love?’
The corner of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched — ‘I think that the
two brothers feel attached to each other.’
Zhan Zhao is suspicious — ‘Right, what exactly is the
relationship between them?’
Bai Yutang shrugged — ‘What else could it be? Brothers who
love each other.’
......
After finally sending the twins home, Zhan Zhao and Bai
Yutang tiredly walked back.
"I'm tired, I knew we should have gone back by car." Zhan
Zhao hit his leg a few times.
"Your leg is sore?" Bai Yutang frowned slightly,
"After the last injury, it seems to be sore all the time, right?"
"En." Zhan Zhao nodded, "It seems to
be."
“I think Brother has mentioned that he knows a very good traditional
Chinese doctor." Bai Yutang said, "Let's have him take a look at you
next time. Gunshot wounds might not be big but they can do lots of damage.”
The two walked into the apartment building and waited for
the elevator to open. Bai Yutang leaned in, kissed Zhan Zhao, and said, "Cat,
let’s do it tonight!"
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang weakly, "I'm tired"
"It's okay." Bai Yutang grinned, "You can
sleep while I do all the work. You will still be able to feel it.”
"Dead mouse!" Zhan Zhao raised his hand and hit
him. At that time, the elevator opened. Bai Yutang wanted to pull him in and
kiss him all the way to the apartment. Just as he hugged the cat and wanted to
drag him into the elevator, his cellphone rang in his pocket.
The two looked at each other. As a policeman, the most
feared thing is receiving a phone call at night; if it was not a major problem
then they would not receive a call.
"It's Bao Sir." Bai Yutang took out his phone and
looked at it, frowning slightly.
"He’s calling you at this time of night?" Zhan
Zhao looked at his watch, "Did something big happen?"
Bai Yutang picked it up, "Bao Sir... OK."
"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Bao Sir told us to go to the hospital." Bai
Yutang hung up the phone, pulling Zhan Zhao out of the building, and said
helplessly, “Every minute is precious at night. How much time do you think Bao
Sir will have us waste because of this phone call?” He raised his hand to call
a taxi.
"Stop joking around. Why did he tell us to go to the
hospital?" Zhan Zhao was stuffed into the taxi, still confused.
Bai Yutang shook his head, his face was serious, "He didn’t
tell me."
"In other words, it’s something that can’t be said on
the phone?" Zhan Zhao also became worried.
The taxi quickly made its way to the entrance of the
hospital. As soon as they entered the hospital, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked
at each other — ‘There’s a lot of policemen.’
"Captain." Ai Hu, who they hadn't seen him for a
long time, hurried over.
"What happened?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao asked at
the same time.
"We have just received a report that there was a shootout
at the hotel where the Anti-Terrorist Force and Interpol’s delegations are
staying." Ai Hu led the two to the operating room, and said, "This time
something huge has happened."
"Who was a part of the shootout?" Bai Yutang
frowned, "Anti-Terrorism...isn't that Ben’s group?"
Ai Hu nodded, "A total of seven people were involved;
five died, one was seriously injured, and one was slightly injured."
"What about Ben?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"He is the one who was slightly injured." Ai Hu
said, "Bao Sir is inside, and his face is darker than the bottom of the
pot!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and said to
their hearts — ‘Of course it’s dark, this is an international problem!’
.....................
The author has something to say: Da Ding and Xiao Ding have
a pure brotherhood relationship but they are very attached to each other. Think
of the brothers as pure, attached children~~ bad children ~ pia pia
