Chapter 126: Born to Die

After Han Chen finishes, everybody is struck dumb.

It’s a serious matter nonetheless.  He sweeps his eyes across everyone and explains quickly:

“The most basic existence, 1.

The most complicated form of life: 8.  From 0 to 9, only it is similar to the symbol of infinity as well as the shape of DNA.  As for the closing phrases for the first and two phrases, ‘crisscrossing and turning’ and ‘losing morning and gaining night’, are like what Su Mian said.  They seem more like they’re written to portray emotion. It’s probably how the killer feels about these two numbers.

It can blanket every day: 7.  There are 7 days in a week, so it covers all of it;

It can possess every year: 4.  There are 4 seasons in a year.

What is lost will always be regained……” Read more

Chapter 125: R’s World

“How will she choose?”

“I don’t know.”

“No matter who she chooses, the ending will be the same.”

“Ha……”

……

The sky is about to be lit.

Numerous police vehicles are driving toward the Yangtze Park where the clowns are found.

Su Mian and Han Chen are sitting in a command car watching the foggy road ahead.  Her heart is worried just like the fog covering everything. She squeezes Han Chen’s hand lightly.  Han Chen’s elbow is resting on the car window frame as he looks straight. He grabs her hand and puts it on his thigh.

6:35 am.

There’s half an hour left before the explosion.  They’ll be at the scene in two minutes. Read more

Chapter 124: Beloved Comrades Part 2

Nighttime.

The Black Shield Team’s office is fully lit and everyone is sitting around the table.

Qin Wen Long is also here.  Compared to his gloomy face a few days ago, he’s smiling today.

“We’ve at least gotten one of them injured severely.  It’s just too bad that we let him escape,” he says, “but we’ve managed to weaken their power, so there’s hope that we’ll be able to solve the case!”

Chatterbox and the others nod.  Indeed, because their opponents were hiding in shadows previously, they as criminal investigators have been in a disadvantage facing against these serial killers.  Now that they’ve been able to turn the tables and inflict heavy damage on the criminal organization, they’ve made important progress.

Chapter 122: The Secret In Your Eyes Part 2

Su Mian pushes open the door and sees that Han Chen has already gotten out of bed and is sitting on the couch.  He has a jacket over his shoulders and her laptop on his knees.

“Why didn’t you sleep longer?” she asks and sits beside him.

He takes a sip of tea from a cup.  The tea is from his place and it has a nice fragrance to it.

“You had a good time chatting?” he says casually.

Su Mian is speechless, “……pfft.”  This jealous man. She reaches out her arms and wraps them around his neck; she kisses him fiercely as a way to pacify him.  His expression is indifferent; his young master temper is back again, so Su Mian will have to try harder.

Su Mian is a smart girl after all.  She turns her gaze to the laptop and changes the subject, “You’re watching the video?”  The screen is frozen on the part where L is bowing.  In the dark alleyway, only the moon is showing in the narrow view of the sky, as well as the very dim light shining from an unknown source.

Chapter 121: The Secret In Your Eyes Part 1

Twilight blankets the sky; as if wearing a veil of duskiness.  The lights in the room are bright. Qin Wen Long, the Black Shield Team, Xu Si Bai and other criminal investigators are all concentrated in staring at the screen.

L finishes dancing very soon.  But it makes everyone even quieter.

Qin Wen Long inhales his cigarette twice deeply, “Let’s hear it.  What do you guys think?”

“Psychopath!” Chatterbox is the first to speak, “This is a clear provocation.  This makes me so worked up!”

The other investigators nod.  Xiao Zhuan also says loudly, “These few people are already crazy!”

Xu Si Bai is sitting beside Su Mian quietly.  She doesn’t have any expression on her face, only her eyes look a bit cold. Read more

Chapter 119: Milliseconds Apart

The moment she receives Chatterbox’s message outlining the date of the injuring others incident, Su Mian knows that it’s not the right one.

Firstly, without a doubt, A didn’t write the poem.  He doesn’t have the literary skills to.  It was most likely L who wrote it.

L does not have compassion.  He only cares about himself and definitely does not have any concept of punishing the evil.  How could he possibly write a poem for an innocent person and write it with so many feelings?

And even if it were A, he only kills others based on his liking; he doesn’t seem to show any views of justice.

Therefore, the prediction from Chatterbox and the others cannot be correct. Read more

Chapter 118: A’s Song of Sadness

He wakes up and finds himself in a completely dark place.

He can’t see his fingers even when he holds them up.  It’s cold and there’s an awful smell.

Where is this place?

He reaches his hand to the back of his head and stands up.  His head hurts. The blurry memory of what happened before he became unconscious is slowly becoming clear.  But it makes his body cover in cold sweat.

He clearly remembers that he was on his way home.

And then, under a streetlamp, a shadow came near.  He didn’t pay too much attention to it. Read more

Chapter 117: Until the End of Time Part 3

At dawn.

Su Mian’s hair is in a mess and her jacket is also wrinkled from her tossing and turning on the table.  But her eyes are gleaming like the stars. She pulls the conference room door open and just as she is about to speak, she sees Han Chen behind his desk lifting his head looking at her.  His eyes are bright and clear. Cold Face isn’t beside him; he must have gone out to lead the other officers. Xiao Zhuan and Chatterbox, on the other hand, are sprawled across their desks and are sleeping.

Su Mian walks to Han Chen’s desk quickly before he pulls her to stand between his legs.

“I’ve been waiting for you,” he holds her hand, “Let’s go eat breakfast.”

Now that he mentions it, Su Mian feels hungry.  But she can’t wait to share her thoughts with him.  She sways his arms with her eyes shining even brighter, “Holy shit!  I’ve found something important!” Read more
