Chapter 39 Exploration

Bai Yanliang didn't expect to hear this from Officer Wang.

"The crime happened at 7:05, but when we received the call from assistant director Li, it was already 6:30." Officer Wang frowned, there was something weird about this case.

The assistant director seemed to have known what had happened to him, the time, the place, and even the method of the crime.

But...he didn't choose to dodge?

Moreover, although he chose to call the police, he still stayed obediently in the assistant counselor's office at seven o'clock and did not go anywhere. He did not even tell anyone else about the incident except the criminal police.

What is he worried about?
Could it be that... there was a pair of eyes in the affiliated hospital constantly watching his every move? Making this assistant director feel that he couldn't trust anyone?
Bai Yanliang stood up, walked to the office window and looked outside.

This is the first floor, and all you can see outside the window is an empty playground.

Officer Wang has been keeping an eye on Bai Yanliang's every move. Yang Wanlong said on the phone that the cases he solved in recent years were more or less helped by Bai Yanliang. He is a smart man, but... he needs to be careful.

At this moment, Officer Wang's cell phone suddenly rang.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked towards him.

"Well, I see."

Officer Wang responded twice and then hung up the phone, his expression becoming more serious.

"Li Degang died."

"His throat was pierced, and blood flowed from his trachea into his lungs. He was suffocated to death."

Officer Wang's voice was heard clearly by several hospital leaders standing outside, and their faces turned pale.

That student...what kind of deep hatred does he have with Li Degang that requires him to use such violent and cruel means?

Yang Yiyi, a student from the Affiliated Hospital of Science and Technology who was very interested in the work of a criminal police, turned very pale after hearing the confirmation of death.

Everything seems simpler when you are just watching from the sidelines, but as long as you get involved a little, the feeling will be completely different.

Especially...when you think about the bizarre murder that happened in this office.

Even until he left the scene, Yang Yiyi was still in a very low mood.

Bai Yanliang walked in front and didn't pay much attention to her. He was thinking about this strange case.

There are many doubts at present.

The victim knew he was about to be killed, the murderer had strange emotions and great strength.

Although humans can indeed do many things that they cannot do under normal circumstances when adrenaline is secreted heavily, this is not a reason for a group of security guards to be completely out of control.

This is why Bai Yanliang was interested in this case and took the initiative to ask to come and take a look.

This incident is very similar to the case that Yang Wanlong remembered from his childhood, and perhaps... it is also related to Yanren's case.

"Yang Yiyi."

Bai Yanliang suddenly stopped and looked at Yang Yiyi, who had been silent since a while ago.

"You go back first."

Yang Yiyi raised her head and looked into Bai Yanliang's eyes. She felt that she might be underestimated.

But the strange thing was that she didn't see any emotion in those eyes. On the contrary, Bai Yanliang's attitude was very gentle, but... she could feel a dead silence overflowing from his bones.

This feeling made her dare not look at Bai Yanliang's eyes for too long. She always felt that... those were not a pair of living people's eyes.

"Where...where are you going?"

She mustered up the courage to ask. "The murderer's home."

Yang Yiyi's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to say that she wanted to go too, a trace of fear rose in her heart.

She didn’t dare...go to the home of the classmate who had killed someone.

Yang Yiyi, who was aware of her own thoughts, bit her lips tightly, and suddenly lowered her head, looking at her toes, and whispered: "Hey, am I... useless?"

Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand.

He ruffled the hair of the Polytechnic University student and said with a smile, "There are very few miracles that happen 'all at once' in this world. We cannot achieve everything in one go, whether it's study, work, love, or even our entire life. You can't do it now, but as long as there is a next time, and the next time, as long as our lives are not over, we can constantly refresh the number of times we confront suffering and difficulties. By then, you will find that your life has become completely different because of your persistence every time."

Yang Yiyi shook her head in dissatisfaction and got rid of Bai Yanliang's hand. At the same time, she looked into his eyes again. This time, she still couldn't see a smile in his eyes, but she saw the seriousness that made her flustered.

"So, now you just need to study hard and keep making a little progress." Bai Yanliang withdrew his hand. The student from the Affiliated Hospital of Science and Technology, who was full of yearning for the career of criminal police, finally felt better, but he was tidying up his messed up hair in a bad mood and glared at Bai Yanliang from time to time.

He didn't lie, but he didn't tell the whole story either.

The fact is that some people are born unable to do some things, and human beings are born... unequal.

……

In the afternoon, Bai Yanliang followed Officer Wang to Hao Bowen's home.

Hao Bowen is the boy who committed the crime.

His family conditions are not bad, as can be seen from the living environment in the community.

The person who opened the door for Bai Yanliang and Officer Wang was a middle-aged man with a very unpleasant face. After letting them in, the father didn't say a word, but just sat on the sofa and smoked one cigarette after another.

Hao Bowen's mother stood beside the two of them, tears streaming down her face, and kept saying that Hao Bowen was an obedient and sensible child, and that he would definitely not do such a thing, and that there must be something wrong.

Officer Wang helplessly comforted Hao Bowen's mother, while Bai Yanliang took the opportunity to enter Hao Bowen's bedroom.

As soon as he entered, Bai Yanliang felt something strange.

It’s nothing, it’s just too neat.

Neatly arranged books, clean walls, quilts folded into tofu blocks, and the floor swept spotlessly.

Bai Yanliang knocked on the door, and the sound attracted everyone's attention.

"Excuse me, has anyone cleaned Hao Bowen's room?"

Hao Bowen's mother started crying again. She shook her head and bit her lip and said, "No... Bowen cleaned it all up himself. He is a very sensible child..."

Bai Yanliang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

This bedroom is no longer just a mild case of cleanliness obsession; it's more like... some kind of almost paranoid requirement for cleanliness?

Everything is neatly placed where it should be.

At present, it seems that Hao Bowen is an extremely self-disciplined person.

There is no computer or mobile phone in his room, and even the desk lamp is very old.

Bai Yanliang opened Hao Bowen's book and found that apart from textbooks, they were all very common reading materials.

Hao Bowen seems to be very interested in painting. Among his extracurricular reading materials, there are several painting textbooks, and there are obvious signs of them being flipped.

But... Bai Yanliang searched the entire bedroom but couldn't find a single painting of his.

Where are his paintings?
