S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 3. Password Killer: Chapter 07. Ghost Story

After Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao returned to the police station, the first thing they did was drink water. Zhan Zhao kept pressuring Bai Yutang on their way to the station, so his mouth was dry. However, Bai Yutang refused to tell him, making him very annoyed.

The others had already returned home. The ones on duty tonight were Bai Chi and Luo Tian.

Zhan Zhao, who was angry and had nowhere to release his anger, glanced at Bai Chi, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and reading Zhao Zhen's autobiography. It turned out that he had bought the book when he was on duty in the evening. He turned to look at Luo Tian and saw him leaning against the chair, frowning and looking at the book in his hand. Reading seemed painful for Luo Tian.

"Ahem." Zhan Zhao coughed, and the two people who were obsessed with the book looked up at him. Bai Chi asked, "You're back. Did you find any clues?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Chi and said with a smile, "There are many clues. By the way, let me ask you something."

"What is it?" Bai Chi put down the book and asked.

Zhan Zhao moved a stool and sat down, then looked at Bai Chi and asked, "Was there anything haunted in your old school?"

Bai Chi froze for a moment, looked around, and saw that Bai Yutang was also looking at him.

He nodded and said, "Y-yes."

"Let's hear it." Zhan Zhao said with interest.

"Now?" Bai Chi thought about it and said, "Well, most of them are ghost stories that are popular in every school, like mops with human head, ghost clinging on someone's back, and so on."

Zhan Zhao nodded and listened to Bai Chi attentively.

"In my former police academy, there was a third teaching building in which a girl and a boy had mysteriously died." Bai Chi said, "they overdosed on sleeping pills, and the next morning, they were seen dead leaning against the classroom. Afterwards..."

"Yes?" People began gathering around Bai Chi. "What happened next?"

"Later, there were often people at school who saw two figures wandering around when they were studying in the evening." Bai Chi said, "then everyone said that the place was haunted."

The people listening nodded. Bai Yutang also became interested and listened in.

"After that, a boy in our department had stayed very late one evening for self-study. When he was about to turn off the lights as he left, he saw a girl sitting alone in the last row dressed in white. He went over and wanted to remind her to go back to the dormitory early, and that it's not a good idea to be alone, as the building is haunted at night." Bai Chi reached out and straightened his collar. Then, he said, "When he spoke to the girl, he saw the girl raise her face. It was a big blue face with purple lips. She grabbed the guy's hand while saying it's cold. Then, she pointed to the seat next to her, and said she's not alone, that a boy was next to her."

"A boy?" Everyone was surprised.

"When the student looked at the seat next to the girl, he saw a man's head on the chair, which also had a blue face. The eyes were even blinking at him. The mouth on the head said..."

When Bai Chi said this, Jiang Ping, who was always forgotten behind him, suddenly leaned on Bai Chi's shoulder and whispered, "Chi... Chi..."

"Argh!."

The police officers on duty in the office downstairs heard a terrifying scream from the SCI office. Bai Chi had screamed extremely loudly.

Jiang Ping wanted to frighten Bai Chi, but who would have thought that Bai Chi would be this frightened. His scream made Jiang Ping jump. When Bai Chi looked again, he saw Jiang Ping holding Luo Tian's arm. Bai Chi rushed over and hugged Zhan Zhao. After a long time, Bai Chi regained his strength and looked back at Jiang Ping. "Why did you scare me..." As soon as he spoke, Bai Chi suddenly stared at the door. Then, he held Zhan Zhao and shouted again.
