The Numbers Killer - Chapter 7 Martyr
EDIT: I've edited the footnotes such that you can click on the number to get to the footnote and when you click on the arrow at the end, it should bring you back to where you left off.The rest of the interrogation went on pretty smoothly. According to Wu Hao, he worked for their 'God'. And everything he did was under the orders of 'God'.
Wu Hao's words threw Bai Yutang into a state of confusion. He couldn't help but give Zhan Zhao a look, " Are you sure he's sane?"
Zhan Zhao's brows knitted together as he asked Wu Hao, "Regarding this 'God' you mentioned. Who else works for this 'God' other than you?"
"There's also a Priest... Angels... and Disciples like myself, "Wu Hao said, dazed with reverence.

Bai Yutang couldn't contain his laughter, "You mean to tell me you work for Jesus?"
"No!" Wu Hao shook his head, "I do not believe in Christ!"
"No!" Wu Hao shook his head, "I do not believe in Christ!"
Zhan Zhao contemplated for abit before asking, "You guys seem to have a strict hierarchy. How is exactly the work assigned?"
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Hao replied "God gives the orders, the Priest is in charge of giving rewards and punishments, Angels are in charge of communication while the Disciples carry out the orders."
"And the tasked you with running people over with a car?" Bai Yutang couldn't help but ask.
Wu Hao nodded his head.
"I'm going to need the names of all the other members, including that of your 'God'," Bai Yutang said, as he took out a pen and paper, ready to jot it down.
"We don't have names, only numbers."
"Numbers??" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Bai Yutang immediately got up and walked behind Wu Hao, flipping his ear over. Bai Yutang then shook his head at Zhan Zhao there were—— no numbers behind Wu Hao's ear.

"What channels do you use to get your instructions?" Zhan Zhao continued to ask.
"An angel will find me to hand me the mission as well as the relevant details."
"And where of this information?" Bai Yutang probed.
"They are to be destroyed after reading through..."
"However, based on your personality, you probably kept them as a souvenir," Zhan Zhao observed as he noticed Wu Hao's hesitation.

"Huu..." Wu Hao sighed dejectedly, "I've... hidden them in the bookshelf at home."
"One last question, what is your number?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"One last question, what is your number?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"...114..."
The interrogation was finally over.
By the time the two of them exited the prison, the sun had gone down. Bai Yutang gave Bao Zheng a call to briefly update him on the case. Bao Zheng immediately issued a search warrant and Wang Chao went down to Wu Hao's place with a team. As per Bai Yutang's request, they brought all the paper items back to S.C.I.
"Kitty, shall we go get food?" Bai Yutang asked as he got on the car and shut the door.
"Un..." Zhan Zhao replied, somewhat absent-mindedly.
"Hey!" Bai Yutang waved his hand in front of Zhan Zhao, "Earth to Zhan Zhao! What's on your mind?"
Zhan Zhao frowned, "That Wu Hao's behaviour seems to be heavily driven by religious faith. This case is not as simple as it looks.

"In my opinion, he's not in his right mind at all. That organisation or whatever, may very well be a community of lunatics." Bai Yutang started the car and inquired, "So, what do you want to eat?"
"Hmm... I want to eat curry. Made by you!" Zhan Zhao emphasised.
"...Don't you have a weak stomach1?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao slightly surprised, "You better not end up in the hospital after eating that! Greedy cat!"
"Then, macaroni with cardamom2, " Zhan Zhao said, after some thought.
"Made by you," He emphasised again.
"You damn cat... You're getting the groceries!" Bai Yutang grumbled.
"No problem! Chef Bai!" Zhan Zhao exclaimed contentedly, before adjusting his position to take a quick nap.

Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao lived in the dormitory, quality studio apartments provided by the Police Headquarters. These two men had something in common, they were both geniuses at work. The difference was that Bai Yutang was a genius even in outside of work while Zhan Zhao was 100%, an idiot.
In Bai Yutang's words, Zhan Zhao was the kind of person who would bang into walls while walking, hit a tree while driving, burn the pot while cooking and burn the whole house down when cooking rice...
Hence, other than canteen food and food delivery, the issue of his meals were mainly taken care of by Bai Yutang.
What to do? Bai Yutang inherited Mama Bai's excellent genes and was able to cook as well as a five-star Michelin chef.
When they eventually arrived at the supermarket below their dorm, Zhan Zhao went to pick up the groceries spiritedly. Bai Yutang's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and hung up after 30 seconds. Then he took the ingredients from Zhan Zhao's hands and place them back, saying, "Change of plans!"

After that, Bai Yutang got some bread and drinks, and stuffed a visibly upset Zhan Zhao into the car. As they rushed to the prison at full speed.

Once they arrived at the prison gates, they met with Gongsun Ce who just got out of the car with his toolbox. The three of them entered the prison, to see Wu Hao laying flat on the floor of the special ward that sealed, blood flowing out from several orifices. He was long gone. However, there wasn't even a hint of pain on his face. With both arms crossed on his chest, he looked like a Martyr that died peacefully.
Gongsun went up to check on the wounds while Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went out to question the prison guards about the situation. But just as they were about to do so, they heard Gongsun calling for them from the cell.

When they rushed in, they saw Gongsun holding the head of the deceased, turning the ear over to reveal a clear blue '114', behind the ear.

The word you said you don't know what it is I used a translator and it said bean meal macaroni not sure if it's fully right but 😐😐😐
ReplyDeleteit is what i translated. it’s more like i’ve never had that dish and i’m not sure if there’s actually a proper name for it
DeleteCardamom is like a typical Asian spice i think, in Indonesia we call it "Kapulaga" in here we quite common use it for dishes and herbal medicine.
DeleteHeheh, and in series also, they were eating that at home, wow! That's hilarious 😻
DeleteI just started reading cuz I bumped into the drama but... eheh~ Love it!
