Chapter 264 Investigation
Chapter 264 Investigation

That night, Bai Yanliang had a dream, a very strange dream.

There was a very familiar figure standing in front of him, but he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

Although he tried hard to get closer, the distance between them could not be shortened at all.

"who are you?"

Bai Yanliang asked in his dream.

However, although he could feel that the other person was looking at him, the person in the shadow did not speak a word.

"Who are you……"

A burst of white light suddenly appeared, causing Bai Yanliang to open his eyes in a daze.

Its daybreak.

What woke Bai Yanliang up was a ray of morning light that climbed up to the windowsill. It penetrated through the mist and sprinkled on Bai Yanliang's face.

Bai Yanliang stretched, slowly stood up, leaned on the windowsill and looked out.

Everything around was shrouded in soft morning light. The willow trees beside the road hung their heads, their branches swaying gently in the breeze.

The long-lost tranquility and elegance made Bai Yanliang feel as if he was in another world.

Xu Zhifei had a good eye. There was no noisy atmosphere around this apartment building, which made people feel completely relaxed.

He glanced back and saw Xu Zhifei had already left.

Because she left some change on the table, and a spare key.

Although he looked sinister, after getting to know him, Bai Yanliang found that Xu Zhifei was not a weird person except for his cold personality.

What Bai Yanliang admired most was that she was very reasonable.

After putting away the keys and change, Bai Yanliang went to the bathroom to wash up.

The cool water stimulates the skin and brain.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't had a good rest for too long, or perhaps it was because the quietness of this apartment was too rare, Bai Yanliang actually slept soundly until after nine o'clock, which was rare, and he didn't even hear the sound of Xu Zhifei leaving the house.

However, she is very generous to be able to let a man stay in her home so confidently.

Collecting his thoughts, Bai Yanliang quickly left the apartment.

……

Yecheng Police Station, Jiangbei Branch.

Xu Zhifei is an expert, and experts naturally enjoy extremely high treatment. However, when the police officers of the branch found out that she came to the bureau today and greeted her enthusiastically, Xu Zhifei just nodded indifferently, without even making eye contact, and went straight to the archives room.

"...Ms. Xu!"

A man's voice sounded behind her.

Xu Zhifei, who was walking very quickly, looked back with a slightly cold gaze.

"Expert Xu...Expert Xu..." the man quickly changed his words.

The person who called her seemed to be a forensic doctor. He looked familiar, but Xu Zhifei didn't remember him.

"Is something wrong?"

It seems that if something can be expressed clearly in two words, she will never use three words to describe it. Xu Zhifei always speaks in such a concise way.

"...I want to ask..." Gao Fei had a complicated expression. He rubbed his hands and hesitated, "Do you know...where Brother Bai went?"

A strange emotion surged in Xu Zhifei's heart, and he stared at Gao Fei with cold eyes, "Why are you asking me?"

Gao Fei thought he had upset her, and quickly apologized: "You... aren't you guys online friends? When I was investigating a case before... I saw that you two seemed quite familiar with each other, so..."

Netizens...

This sounds like something Bai Yanliang would say. When he doesn't want to answer a question directly, he will use this kind of answer that looks strange but is actually not deceptive to prevaricate.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhifei turned around and continued walking towards the archives room, but a voice came over, "My home."

my home?

Gao Fei didn't react to the meaning of Xu Zhifei's two words for a while. After Xu Zhifei's back disappeared, his eyes suddenly widened, "Bai...Brother!"

The police officers around also looked at each other in bewilderment. The two men did not deliberately lower their voices during their conversation just now, so everyone heard it clearly.

"Advisor Bai... is really amazing..." "Well... in every aspect..."

……

Bai Yanliang, unaware that his reputation had been damaged, was eating steamed dumplings while standing on the sidewalk of Qiujiang Road.

There must have been something strange in the alley on Mercury Night last night. Bai Yanliang couldn't be sure whether it was safe now. After all... he lacked the ability to protect himself, and it was really inappropriate to risk his life every time.

But sometimes, investigating a case does not necessarily require going to the "crime scene", and collecting surrounding information is also important.

And this nearby...

Bai Yanliang held a bun in his mouth and opened his phone to take a look at the map.

There are two cameras that can capture the alley.

One is the traffic surveillance camera at the intersection, and the other... is the small supermarket where the taxi driver bought water last night.

Bai Yanliang swallowed the bun in a few bites and walked into the supermarket.

"Tuk-tuk-"

Xiao Xie was a little absent-minded, when suddenly someone knocked twice on the glass counter.

She raised her head, and before she could see who was coming, she saw an ID card flash by.

"Criminal police, police number 015386, I hope you will cooperate with the investigation."

When the surprised Xiao Xie came to his senses, the other party had already put the ID card in his arms and started looking around.

Before she could open her mouth to question, Bai Yanliang asked, "Have you seen any strange people recently?"

Xiao Xie's heart tightened. A strange person?
She temporarily forgot her previous doubts, and her thoughts were led by Bai Yanliang's words and she began to recall.

However, no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of any strange people. If she really had to say something strange, it would be...

Xiao Xie glanced at Bai Yanliang, and before he could say "you seem a little weird", Bai Yanliang pointed at the surveillance camera in the store.

"Recently, a murderer sneaked into the area near Qiujiang Road. Be careful on weekdays. Remember to scan the surveillance every day and call the police if you see anyone strange."

After saying this, he turned around and left without any further delay.

murderer?!
Xiao Xie's eyes widened. Qiujiang Road is so small, what would happen if a murderer sneaked in?

She felt goosebumps all over her body, and quickly grabbed Bai Yanliang and said, "Officer, please take a look and see if you have captured that person..."

Bai Yanliang nodded seriously and looked at the computer where Xiao Xie had retrieved the surveillance video.

Time passed by little by little. There were not many people appearing in the video, but definitely not a few. Bai Yanliang stared at each person carefully until... he appeared.

Wearing a suit, a top hat, and missing a little finger.

It's him.

This was not the first time Bai Yanliang had seen him. It was obvious that this strange man was also a member of the Abyss, but he didn't know what his code name was.

"Officer...Officer, did you take a picture of him?"

Seeing that Bai Yanliang had been staring at the screen for a long time, Xiao Xie felt a little nervous.

Bai Yanliang retracted his gaze and finally smiled: "It seems that he has never been to this street, don't worry."

Xiao Xie breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Bai Yanliang received a call.

"Number 9, Champs-Elysées."

Xu Zhifei's voice was easy to recognize, not to mention that she was talking about the place where they had first met.

"sorry to bother you."

Bai Yanliang thanked him.

Xu Zhifei went to the Criminal Police Bureau early in the morning to help him investigate the cases that had occurred in the past month. The two were not related in any way, so Bai Yanliang naturally appreciated the other party's willingness to help.

But Xu Zhifei didn't seem to appreciate it.

As soon as Bai Yanliang said the word "trouble", the other party hung up the phone.

"He is indeed a weirdo..."

Bai Yanliang took back Xu Zhifei's comment that was not strange, said hello to the clerk, and left Qiujiang Road.
