S.C.I Mystery Series Volume 4 Chapter 127

The Murderer Who Returned From Hell 26 – The End and the Future of F

---

"There."

The crowd raised their eyes and looked in the direction of Zhan Zhao's finger. Beyond the woods, the road, and under the blue sky, there was only one clear object present – a Ferris wheel.

Bao Zheng frowned slightly and asked Zhan Zhao in disbelief, "Ferris wheel? Are you sure?"

Bai Yutang thought for a moment and said, "That's the direction of the amusement park... the historical research institute we went to investigate before is there."

Zhao Hu also came over, "Is it the haunted historical research institute where the Wife and Daughter is stored?"

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth turned up slightly, "That's the place."

Bao Zheng had the SWAT team escort everyone who had been arrested to the police station, while the rest of them travelled light and drove together in the direction of the amusement park.

Zhan Zhao signalled for the car to stop in front of the main gate of the historical research institute, and everyone got out.

As Bai Yutang closed the car door, he saw a car stop on the opposite side.

It was Bai Jintang's car, and the one driving was Da Ding.

The rear door opened, Xiao Ding jumped out and opened the door.

When everyone looked over, they saw Qin Yanfen emerge from the car, holding that box in her hand, with some confusion on her face.

Bai Yutang knew that this person was called by Zhan Zhao in the car just now, and the twins helped to send her to the entrance of the historical research institute.

Bao Zheng wondered, "Why is she here?"

"To have her help identify someone." Zhan Zhao waved to the crowd.

Qin Yanfen walked over.

Together, the group walked towards the white building of the historical research institute.

It wasn't as deserted during the day as it was at night, and there were some researchers passing by. The overall environment looked like it was akin to what one would find near a university library, and the greenery was well done, with birds singing and flowers scenting the air.

The crowd followed the main road all the way to the entrance of the research building.

They happened to meet Song Jiajia who was walking over holding two large stacks of books.

As soon as Song Jiajia saw the crowd, she cried out, "Why are you guys here again?"

Everyone looked at her innocently.

Song Jiajia sighed, "What kind of demon or devil went out and killed someone this time?"

Zhan Zhao, on the other hand, asked her, "How's the thesis preparation going?"

"Prepare what thesis ah, I am preparing to pack up and leave." Song Jiajia was quite awkward, "Things happen too often at this institute, several organisations that originally funded it have withdrawn their funding. There's no money left, so they have to change their operations, and the history isn't there anymore. Then the other day Professor Cao called to say that the second half of the Ye Helan curse on the Wife and Daughter has been confirmed to be fake. He originally wanted to hire me as an assistant, but this is another dud."

"Then wouldn't you have to find another way to make a living?" Zhan Zhao was quite concerned.

The corner of Song Jiajia's mouth twitched, "I have to rewrite my doctoral dissertation. Even if I pass, I don't think I can get into a good historical institute, I have lost other people's national treasures, I don't think the museums want me... maybe I can find a school to teach at… wu wu wu."

Everyone was unable to laugh or cry looking at this bitter graduate student who didn't know whether to wail or to be cute.

"How about publishing a book." Zhan Zhao gave her an idea, "There's plenty of material, I'll recommend a publisher for you."

Song Jiajia blinked and looked at Zhan Zhao, "Publish a book?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and continued to walk towards the institute, "Your thesis will definitely pass, I guarantee that you'll have one of the most successful theses, and the major historical institutes will be at your disposal."

Song Jiajia curiously followed, while the rest of the crowd looked at each other in disbelief and followed Zhan Zhao towards the institute.

Bao Zheng asked Bai Yutang, "Do you know what he's up to?"

Bai Yutang thought for a moment and said, "I probably have an idea..."

Everyone looked at Bai Yutang in unison, which meant – Please give us a spoiler!

Zhan Zhao turned back and glanced at Bai Yutang – If you dare to expose it, I'll scratch you!

Bai Yutang helplessly shrugged and subconsciously reached out to touch his neck.

After seeing Bai Yutang's behaviour, Zhan Zhao smiled faintly.

The crowd was completely unaware of what riddles the two were playing at, but the institute was just separated by a glass door, so they would presumably know the truth if they pushed the door open, right?

The glass door of the research institute was opened, and the crowd entered in a line.

The gatekeeper looked up and frowned when he saw the crowd, "Why is it you guys again?"

Song Jiajia also nodded.

Zhan Zhao walked to the door of the communication room and stopped, looking at the not-so-complex structure of the communication room, as well as the old man inside who was reading a newspaper.

That old man raised his head, looking at the crowd.

Zhan Zhao's line of sight started from the old man's head and moved down little by little, and finally, it stopped at the position of his neck. Then, the corners of his mouth lifted up slightly, revealing a smile.

Bai Yutang's line of sight also stopped at the old man's neck. Frowning slightly, he reached out and took the tablet from Jiang Ping's hand, tapped on a photo and looked at it, raising his head to compare it with the old man.

Song Jiajia looked left and right, somewhat puzzled – What was everyone doing? Trying to get a face reading from the old man in the communication room?

At this moment, the SCI crowd was collectively looking at the photo on the tablet in Bai Yutang's hand – It was a photo of a woman.

That was the female photographer who had vanished from the earth that the crowd had been searching for. The daughter of the painter Royce, the twin sister of the girl in the Wife and Daughter, the mysterious woman that Cheng Mu had chased to Romania, as well as the one who had handed over the little Wheel of Caleb to Qin Yanfen, which had triggered a series of investigations afterwards.

The little girl in Qin Yanfen's memory did not look like this, and Gongsun was sure that this person had had plastic surgery after studying the photo, however... Qin Yanfen recognised the woman in the photo through a single thing – she had a mole on her neck.

Everyone looked at the mole in the photo, and raised their heads to look at the neck of that old man sitting in the communication room... who also had a mole, in virtually the exact same position, and the exact same state.

And at this time, the smile on that old man's face was gone.

Bai Yutang turned the tablet around, the photo facing him, and asked, "Do you mind removing your makeup?"

The old man stared at the crowd for a while, then smiled and asked, "How did you guys find out?"

Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao.

Xiao Bai Chi rubbed his chin and tilted his face to think back. When he first saw this old man, did he have a mole on his neck? What level can a human scanner reach in order to remember such a detail and connect the two?

Qin Yanfen also frowned at the old man, "Are you wearing make-up?"

The old man stood up, reached behind his head and groped around for a long time before finally grabbing something. Then, like peeling an eggshell, both of his hands went deep into the interior of his face and pulled off a twisted and distorted, makeup-bearing mask along with a wig.

The crowd couldn't help but frown.

Bai Chi previously followed Zhao Zhen on tour and met several masters of special effects makeup. He knew that with the current makeup techniques, it's really easy to make an old man's disguise, because the makeup is all very thin. First, the face is cast, then it's sculpted and shaped to make a mask that virtually fits the face, and there's no problem if you want to make an expression... Only, the visual stimulation of this moment of yanking off that face mask that was similar to painting one's skin was even more uncomfortable than when Bai Yutang had skinned that dry corpse alive previously.

Underneath the mask was a woman's face.

Compared to the photo, she seemed to have had plastic surgery, her appearance had changed a bit and she was about thirty or forty years old. Because of her lean figure and good skin, she felt quite young.

Bai Yutang was inexplicably a little curious and asked her, "Why didn't you get rid of that mole? Isn't keeping such an obvious feature just causing trouble for yourself?"

The woman glanced at Bai Yutang with complicated eyes and heard Zhan Zhao say, "That can't be removed, it's a mark!"

Everyone was puzzled, "A mark?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, "For an old man close to a hundred years old, it's normal for his eyes to be blurry. For someone who was constantly exposed to explosives and toxic substances when they were younger, vision loss is also normal. For an old man with severe delusions and PTSD, who is constantly on edge, neurological blindness is not out of the question. So, if you have a face that often needs to change its appearance through plastic surgery, how important is it to leave a sign of security if you want to be identified by the elderly? It's like Braille on banknotes."

The crowd came to a realisation, and at the same time, they were curious – What was the relationship between these people?

After a long time, the woman smiled and nodded, "Someone warned me, saying that I would definitely fall into your hands."

Zhan Zhao subconsciously glanced at Qin Yanfen.

Qin Yanfen was caught off guard by Zhan Zhao's glance. A strange look flashed in her eyes, then she helplessly looked at Zhan Zhao.

Without saying much, Zhan Zhao turned his head back, it was unclear what he was thinking.

The entire process was seen by Bai Yutang, and Captain Bai raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly pondering as well.

However, the people present obviously did not notice the subtle change in expression between these few people. Bao Zheng took a step forward and asked Zhan Zhao, "Where is Stephen?"

Zhan Zhao's eyes looked towards the table in the communication room... where a set of keys was placed. Once again, Zhan Zhao looked up at the woman, and after meeting her gaze, Zhan Zhao smiled.

Bai Yutang walked into the communication room and fished out a small key from his pocket.

Everyone looked at the small key.

This was what the little forensic doctor Wang Xiatian had handed Bai Yutang after he ran downstairs and chased after him earlier. The small key on Cheng Mu's body looked like a toy key or some kind of clockwork, in any case, he hadn't been able to find a place where he could use it before. However...

At this moment, the eyes of the crowd fell on the row of small doors at the back of the communication room.

Because the lights of the entire institute had control switches here, there were quite a few small iron cabinets containing valves. The iron cabinets were all locked, and the shape of the lock holes matched that iron piece-like key. When Zhan Zhao and the others were chasing that "ghost shadow" in the research institute, it was the "old man in the communication room" who used the key to open the iron box and activate the power supply.

However, there was a large row of iron boxes, each with a similar lock hole and a number on it, so which one was it?

Bai Yutang picked up the bunch on the table. There were more than ten keys in the bunch, and after a little comparison, it appeared that the key for cabinet eleven was identical to the one in Bai Yutang's hand.

Bai Yutang put the iron piece-like key into the door of cabinet number eleven and opened it... Inside, there was no power valve, only another key. Unlike the other keys, this was a car key.

Bai Yutang took the car key and walked towards the underground parking lot.

Zhan Zhao and others followed, and Luo Tian handcuffed the woman and brought her down as well.

In the underground parking lot, there were quite a few cars parked. Because there were many areas of the institute that were still under construction, there were quite a few larger cars and small vans.

Bai Yutang walked to the middle of the car park and pressed the car key... In the far corner, a signal was received and the headlights of a minivan lit up.

Bai Yutang walked over.

Zhao Hu and Ma Han reached the door of the car and were just about to open the door when Qin Ou reached out and signalled the crowd not to rush.

He moved over, and after surveying the simple wire that looked like it could be disintegrated with a single burst from the flashlight, he shook his head at the crowd, "It's a bomb."

Everyone frowned.

Bai Chi went to the car to help Qin Ou fetch his usual toolbox.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang noticed that it turned out to be the kind of toolbox that Xu Lie had hidden at home like a treasure that day – It was the standard equipment of the bomb disposal team, and Chen Mi should have it as well.

The two of them glanced at each other, wanting to laugh a little.

Under the hands of Qin Ou, this bomb did not survive more than fifteen minutes. They heard a click, and it was disarmed.

The bomb disposal team's car also arrived, and the team members loaded it in an explosion-proof box and took it away to be destroyed.

Ma Han and Zhao Hu opened the car door...

The strong light of the flashlight shone in, and they saw that the inside of the car was empty, except for a hospital bed.

On the hospital bed, there was a withered old man with some tubes inserted in his body, surrounded by life-sustaining instruments.

That old man was unresponsive to the flashlight shining directly in front of his eyes, confirming Zhan Zhao's guess – he was already blind.

Seemingly hearing the sound of someone opening the door, he tremblingly raised a hand. His dry arm was stretched out in the air, and his fingers seemed to be groping for something.

The crowd couldn't help but frown.

Zhan Zhao shrugged slightly and looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Sir helplessly shook his head. Fortunately, there are no real demons in this world, a person, even if he is capable of evil, can't resist the forces of nature and live forever like a demon... One hundred years later, he still has to die! So is F choosing his own continuation? Unfortunately, it ends here!

Arrest all the relevant people and send them to the police station.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrive at the entrance of the historical research institute, where the sun was shining on the white building with crystal clear glass.

Song Jiajia stood at the door with a stack of books and talked to Xiao Bai Chi about this case, and she finally understood what Zhan Zhao meant when he told her that she could write a book.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang watched from the bottom of the steps as the police car drove away.

Qin Yanfen walked back and gave Song Jiajia the box, along with some of her own research materials from back then.

Song Jiajia opened the box and saw the small Wheel of Caleb, and also looked through Royce's painting notes, surprised, "The Wheel of Caleb and the Wife and Daughter, they're both actually works of art."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "So you didn't really lose someone's national treasure."

With this information, Song Jiajia could absolutely complete a great dissertation, and the previously shocked graduate student instantly exploded, shaking her fist, "I am going to be famous! All the dissertation topics are weak compared to what I have on hand! Aaaaaaaaahhhh!"

......

When everyone had left, Zhan Zhao asked Qin Yanfen to get into the twins' car, and had the twins send her back.

"The threat of F has been lifted." Zhan Zhao congratulated her, "You can confess to Chen Yu and Chen Mi."

However, there was no excitement on Qin Yanfen's face, instead she was worried. She looked at Zhan Zhao, "Aren't you guys... going back?"

Zhan Zhao gently patted her shoulder, "We still have some things to take care of."

Qin Yanfen was nervous, but again, there seemed to be something she couldn't say.

At this moment, perhaps the sunlight was too strong, Bai Yutang put on his sunglasses and tilted his face up, looking at the roof of the research building.

On the roof of the building, a silhouette appeared.

Bai Yutang walked into the building and entered the elevator, obviously going upstairs.

Qin Yanfen grabbed Zhan Zhao who was also going in, pleading with her eyes, "Let him go... He's been dead for many, many years, and he never harmed a good person."

Zhan Zhao looked at her for a moment and smiled, "What can we do to someone who has been dead for many, many years?"

Qin Yanfen froze, seemingly relieved.

Zhan Zhao said, "It's just a chat with him, go back and meet your children, Chen Mi has probably already told Chen Yu and Grandpa Chen about what happened."

Qin Yanfen nodded.

The twins started the car.

In the backseat, Qin Yanfen tilted her head and looked at the roof through the car window.

On the roof, there was a man standing by the railing, watching the car drive away.

The iron door on the roof was opened and Bai Yutang walked out, spotting the person standing by the railing.

Just looking at his back, his body was well-proportioned and tall and thin, and at a glance, he seemed to have good physical skills, it was really hard to connect him with someone in his fifties. But thinking about Bao Sir and his own dad, Bai Yutang could accept it, and estimated that when he was fifty or sixty years old, he could also maintain this point, so long as he persisted in exercising.

The man was wearing all black, with straight short hair that didn't feel like it was too well taken care of. He slightly turned his head back and gave Bai Yutang a side view. There was scruff on his chin, which wasn't too long, but it almost covered half of his face. The vicissitudes of life were not dishevelled, and a sharpness was present, and he was yet another classy uncle.

When he reached the doorway, Zhan Zhao also walked out, nodding as he walked, "You can see Chen Mi's appearance in your nose and eyes, does your family have daughters like their mothers and sons like their fathers?"

The man glanced at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, bringing up a hint of a smile, "The younger generation is scary."

Bai Yutang recognised this figure... That day when he and Zhan Zhao came out of Shen Bo's ward in the hospital, he saw that figure on the opposite building from the corridor, and it belonged to this person.

"Chen Xinglong..." Bai Yutang took a good look at the century-old thief in front of him who had been entangled with their fathers, a legendary figure who was supposed to be dead.

Chen Xinglong turned his head back, with his back to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and his eyes looking ahead as he asked, "How did you guys find out about me?"

"Some fingerprint fragments were found on that dried corpse in Fang You's house." Bai Yutang said, "You also know that the technology nowadays is not what it was twenty years ago. From the fingerprints, DNA can be extracted, and comparing it with Chen Yu's as well as Chen Mi's DNA, we found a direct family relationship."

Chen Xinglong didn't say anything.

"It was you who killed Fang You back then?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Chen Xinglong was silent for a long time before saying, "I only used my own methods to protect my wife and family."

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin, "Have you been secretly protecting your family for so many years? Now that the threat of F has been lifted, what are you going to do?"

"Reuniting the family seems to be difficult." Bai Yutang said, "There may still be vacancies in X Prison."

Chen Xinglong turned around and smiled, telling the two, "I'm just here to say goodbye, kids."

After saying that, the older man took a step forward and jumped straight down from the building.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ran to the railing and saw the rope hanging on the railing.

At this time, Chen Xinglong had already arrived downstairs, letting go of the retractable rope on his body, he quickly stepped down the steps.

Just before he reached the bottom of the steps, a white Bentley stopped in front of him.

Chen Xinglong looked up, made a saluting gesture to the two men, and got into the car.

They watched as the white Bentley quickly drove away.

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, "Another one scooped up by Zhao Jue."

Bai Yutang leaned against the railing and shook his head.

Zhan Zhao's arm touched his, "Ai, Captain Bai, why didn't you shoot the car tyre?"

Bai Yutang looked at him helplessly, "What can we do to someone who's already dead?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, lazily lying on the railing, "The sun is nice."

Bai Yutang reached out and pinched the back of his neck, "Let's go, we still have to close the case after the interrogation back at the police station."

"Let them do it." Zhan Zhao wanted to stay here to bask in the sun. Bai Yutang had no choice but to reach out and drag him, pulling him down the stairs and back to the police station.

......

The two returned to the police station and just as they exited the elevator, they caught a glimpse of Xu Lie who was sweeping poop from Dunbu in the corridor.

The big star was pinching his nose with one hand, holding a paper bag with poop in the other, and was throwing it into the rubbish bin.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him with some sympathy – They had never seen such an unlucky big star.

In the office, Grandpa Chen was happily inviting everyone to dinner.

Chen Mi was sitting on the sofa scratching his head in a somewhat formal manner, Chen Yu was hugging Qin Yanfen and crying, Ma Xin and the others were all watching, and Qi Le hurriedly acknowledged his mother, in a good mood.

Qin Yanfen saw that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned alone and had not arrested anyone else, and let out a sigh of relief.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang tacitly did not mention anything about Chen Xinglong and turned to the interrogation room.

At this time, there were quite a few people gathered around the entrance, all looking at the interrogation report.

"So fast?" Zhan Zhao looked at Ma Han and the others who were making preparations to close the case.

Ma Han nodded, "Dr. Stephen died after he was transferred to the hospital, and the other few didn't put up much of a fight and all confessed."

"So smooth?" Zhan Zhao frowned slightly and opened the interrogation report to read it.

Things traced back to many years ago. After Dr. Stephen kidnapped five small children, he started training them to become the new F. PTSD and paranoia had made this doctor of psychology a demon maker, and he had managed to create five Fs. All of this development was exactly the same as Zhan Zhao's and their deductions from before, as well as Qin Yanfen's investigations. However, what the world didn't know was that in addition to these five sons, Dr. Stephen also controlled Royce's daughter, that is, this woman who pretended to be the grandpa in the communication room, watching everything from close range and manipulating Cheng Mu.

This woman's real name was Angelo. After Royce went crazy, he thought he only had one daughter, so Angelo was ignored as if she didn't exist. So... Dr. F, the psychiatrist who controlled Royce, adopted her before she could remember.

Angelo is another continuation of F.

As mentioned before, all the collectors who adopted Angelo and collected the artwork Wife and Daughter didn't die violently. In fact, it was all done by Angelo and Stephen working together. It takes a lot of money to raise children to be demons.

Of these children of Stephen, those five Fs were all abducted by him halfway, so they were not completely his, only this daughter, who he raised from an infant, completely transformed into a purebred demon.

The reason Angelo found Qin Yanfen twenty years ago and asked her to investigate the Wheel of Caleb was because those five Fs went rogue. They started to escape Stephen's control and began to run the Fs according to their own philosophies.

As Stephen became more and more senile, the five Fs that gradually grew up broke away from his control and took away the resources that Stephen had accumulated over the years. As a result, Angelo began to hunt down and kill those few F. For the first time, Shen Bo kicked Qin Yanfen, who was halfway through her research, out of the team and investigated on his own, only to find out that the Wheel of Caleb was basically a hoax. For the sake of self-preservation as well as academic achievement, Shen Bo hid the truth of that year.

Because of Shen Bo getting stuck here, the five Fs managed to escape and remained in hiding all these years.

Over the years, Angelo had been tracking down the whereabouts of these Fs.

Xu Sun and Liu Yu were both in business with Dr. Stephen, and the Fs were being chased by Angelo, so both sides tried to eliminate each other by using the police.

After Xu Sun was captured and escorted back by the police, there was a possibility that Angelo would be exposed, so she sent Cheng Mu back to kill the others. She had been hiding near Shen Bo, hoping to find traces of F through him. Hiding into the historical research institute, she thus learned about Song Jiajia and their investigation into the Wheel of Caleb.

Taking advantage of this incident, Angelo provided SCI with clues about F, wanting to guide the SCI crowd to find F through Cheng Mu and eliminate the other party in order to reap the benefits.

F was also afraid of being exposed. On one hand, they wanted to hide themselves, on the other hand, they wanted to kill the person who knew about the case, so they arranged to kill Shen Bo and pointed the blame at Qin Yanfen, who they always thought knew where Stephen was hiding, wanting to kill him to get rid of the evil.

And Cheng Mu became an outcast after completing the mission and was killed by Angelo.

"What did Cheng Mu go through in these ten years, didn't she say anything?" Zhan Zhao asked Luo Tian, "Cheng Mu seemed to have been kept in the dark before, he seemed to have been unaware that Angelo and Stephen were in cahoots, and that he was being used all these years, only realising it at the last minute."

Luo Tian said, "She didn't say anything about Cheng Mu, just said it was over."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Something seems to be missing."

Zhan Zhao closed the information and quickly walked into the interrogation room.

In the room, Angelo sat there with a smile, humming a tune of some sort in a low voice.

Zhan Zhao carefully identified it and frowned – It was a lullaby!

"Ma Xin."

Zhan Zhao suddenly called out.

Ma Xin opened the door and ran in, "Doctor."

Zhan Zhao pointed at Angelo, "Check her to see if she has given birth."

Ma Xin froze, and after moving over to check Angelo, she nodded, "She has given birth..."

"How many times?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Not sure." Ma Xin frowned, "Her body should have gone through multiple births."

Bai Yutang looked at Angelo, "Are you training a new generation of Fs?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Is Cheng Mu's child involved as well? That's why he's willing to go through fire and water for you, neither human nor ghost?"

Angelo laughed, speaking softly to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "My child, is the real one, the devil's child. The real F!"

After saying that, a bizarre smile appeared on her face, and blood began to flow out from the corner of her mouth.

"Oh no!" Ma Xin rushed forward, and Angelo had already begun to convulse.

Bai Yutang frowned, "It's the same situation as Cheng Mu."

Zhan Zhao stood aside and looked down at Angelo.

Angelo had a triumphant smile on her face, and with a mouthful of blood in her mouth, she said to Zhan Zhao, "By the time they grow up, you'll already be old... and perhaps already dead, hahaha."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Angelo who had stopped breathing with a scowling expression.

Ma Xin measured her pulse and looked up to shake her head at the two, already dead.

Bai Yutang suddenly came to a realisation, "Shen Bo apologised to the Fs on his deathbed, it should be all the Fs, both past and future."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "If he wasn't lucrative back then and concealed the results of the investigation for the sake of academic achievements, F wouldn't have continued all these years."

At the door, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

That is to say, perhaps right now, in a corner of the world, there are a few young Fs being raised, and twenty years from now, they will come back to haunt the world once again.

Seeing that everyone was worried, Bao Sir placed the information on the table.

There was a pop sound.

Everyone looked up.

Bao Zheng said indifferently, "It's not like there's only demonic offspring, so what's the point of worrying."

After saying this, he simply said, "Case closed!", and went out the door.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked out of the interrogation room and watched Bao Sir walk towards the elevator in a very graceful manner.

The elevator doors opened.

After class, Luo Yang and Xiao Yi ran to look for their dads with their school bags. When they met Bao Zheng, they greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Grandpa Bao."

Bao Zheng nodded in satisfaction, patted the two children and entered the elevator to go upstairs.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other – That's right, for future demons, there are naturally future people who will send them back to hell, there's indeed nothing to worry about, they just need to be responsible for catching the current demons, that's all.
