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

Case 1. An Innocent Murderer: Chapter 03. Undercurrent

After they finished eating, Bai Chi ordered and packed two large portions of food to take back and feed Zhao Zhen and Li Siben. Bai Yutang said he was a bit too full and wanted to walk back with Zhan Zhao. Bai Chi bid the two brothers farewell, then drove away first.

After they walked out from the restaurant, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked slowly back home side by side. The weather was still humid and hot, however there was a muffled thunder sound in the sky, as if it was about to rain.

During their walk, Zhan Zhao's phone rang. When he saw who it was, he frowned.

"Your editor again?" Bai Yutang smiled.

Zhan Zhao sighed before answering, "Hello..."

Bai Yutaing heard a woman talking extremely fast on the other side of the line. He realized it was Zhan Zhao's editor, Ming Yue. She's very capable and impatient. Zhan Zhao would get a headache from the sight of her.

She talked for a long time while Zhan Zhao quietly listened and did not say anything. Zhan Zhao only spoke after she finished speaking, "I won't go. I told you I won't participate in any activities." He hung up aftewards.

Bai Yutang turned and saw Zhan Zhao's face not looking too good. He could not help but laugh, "What's the matter? She still hasn't given up turning you into a star author?"

Zhan Zhao was silent for a long time before he suddenly said, "Xiao Bai, I don't want to write any more books."

Bai Yutang was slightly shocked, then he smiled, "Don't you like writing? Why are you giving up?"

Zhan Zhao sighed and said, "The books I write are academic books, but they turned into novels. If you don't understand psychology correctly, it would be very dangerous to misuse it with the lack of knowledge!"

Bai Yutang nodded and smiled, "You decide. I will support whatever decision you make."

Zhan Zhao was discouraged, "You have no principle. You don't have any constructive thoughts."

Bai Yutang helplessly said, "I just want you to be happy. Who cares about the books."

Zhan Zhao stopped talking. The majority of his worries had dissipated.

A cold wind blew within the humid temperature. A flash appeared in the sky as a thunder sound was heard coupled with a strong wind.

"It's going to rain!" Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao's hand and ran.

After only a few steps, rain began to fall. Bai Yutang hugged Zhan Zhao and blocked the rain with his hand. The two of them ran a few steps before they hid under a porch in front of a building.

At the same time, the rain poured down. The surrounding air suddenly became refreshing and cool.

"This is great." Bai Yutang reached out and wiped the droplets off Zhan Zhao's face. "It must be nice and cool when we go back later."

Zhan Zhao felt much better after he ran a few steps coupled with a cool breeze. He was about to speak, but saw Bai Yutang suddenly frown for no reason.

"What's the matter? Xiao Bai? " Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

Bai Yutang shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Zhan Zhao was surprised when another man hurried over and rushed onto the porch. That person patted the water on his body, smiled and said to the two of them, "Wow, it's raining really heavily."

Zhan Zhao nodded at him, while Bai Yutang said nothing. He pulled Zhan Zhao to the other side of him, put his hands in his pockets and waited for the rain to stop.

Although the summer rain is short, it had been held back for a day after all. God seemed to want to vent as well. It had been raining for a while and did not seem to want to stop.
