S.C.I. Mystery Files Case 1 Chapter 22



The Numbers Killer - Chapter 22 Spying

Happy Vesak Day ~(≧▽≦)/~ Though I'm not too sure if this chapter is appropriate for a day like Vesak Day lollol


Gongsun's residence was a high-end apartment in the city centre. 

Originally, Gongsun suggested for Bai Jintang to stay in the garage, but that big rat forced his way into the house. Gongsun tried to drive him out... but to no avail.

Gongsun watched as Bai Jintang plop himself on the sofa comfortably with clenched teeth as he began plotting how to get rid of the latter.

"Do you have any wine glasses?" Bai Jintang asked as he took out a nicely packaged bottle of Bordeaux '86 from his suitcase.

Gongsun obediently went to get the glasses.

That's right, Bai Jintang has discovered Gongsun's only weakness: good wine!!
From the moment he laid his eyes on Gongsun, he got a feeling that the latter was a wine lover. Sure enough, upon entering Gongsun's apartment, he was greeted with the sight of an exquisite wine rack and bar counter. The minimalistic interior of the house adorned with large quantities of fine wine, gave the same feeling as its owner, classy and elegant. 

Bai Jintang got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. And the beautiful night view of S City was reflected in his eyes. This area of the city was concentrated with high-end residences. As the light from this concrete jungle of skyscrapers flickered in the night, it vaguely resembles a starry night, peaceful and quiet...

While he slowly savoured the night-view, Bai Jintang suddenly took notice of a certain floor on the tall building in front of him. He frowned——there's something off about it.

It's a worn-out tower that looked a little dated; a certain window on the 13th floor of that building caught Bai Jintang's attention. From the dark window, there was a bright spot of light, almost like an eyeball, staring over with ill intentions. Could that be... the reflection from a high-powered telescope?

Bai Jintang brought a hand to his chin and thought to himself, "That can't be..."

Turning around he saw Gongsun crouched before the kitchen cabinet, comparing several wine glasses, determined to find the most suitable glass from that wall full of delicate wine glasses. Gongsun's jacket was removed at some point in time and all he had on was a white shirt. His collar undone, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, inadvertently exposing that fair and delicate skin of his...
(lilies: he does have his pants on ok XD)

Sensing Bai Jintang's gaze, he turned around a little puzzled. Even though it was just a simple glance, those slightly upturned eyes, long lashes, that faint air of elegance he exudes and that beautiful face. If Zhan Zhao's beauty was described as refreshing, then Gongsun's would be intriguing, leaving one asking for more. Zhan Zhao pure while Gongun was a cold beauty. Bai Jintang was hit with the feeling that the two were rather similar, especially how unsuspecting and unguarded they were which was worrying. 

"What are you looking at?!" Gongsun questioned with a frown. 

After some thought, Bai Jintang asked instead of answering, "Gongsun, have you been harassed recently?"

"Harh?" Gongsun looked visibly confused, "What do you mean?"

"Like calling you, sending flowers, writing letters..."

Crash.

Before Bai Jintang could finish his sentence, the glass in Gongsun's hand had fallen to the ground, shattered to pieces. Gongsun immediately came back to his senses as he hurriedly picked up the glass shards in a panic. 

After confirming his suspicions, Bai Jintang took a quick scan of the room and saw that the landline was unplugged and thrown on the floor. He then walked over and plugged it back in while saying, "Why isn't your landline properly plugged in?"

"Don't!" Gongsun rushed forward, but just before he could pull out the line again, Bai Jintang encased him in an embrace. Leaning in close, Bai Jintang asked, "Has someone been blowing up your phone, harassing you?"

"H-How did you know..." Gongsun lost all colour in his face, looking at Bai Jintang in alarm.

"Male or female?"
"I don't know..."
"Don't know?"

Gongsun pushed Bai Jintang off him, "T-The person used a voice changer..."

"What do they say on the phone?"

"..." Gongsun bit down on his lip, "They say... 'You... are mine'."

"What else?"
"T-They'd send me flowers too... white lilies..."
"How long has this been going on for?"
"About a year."

Bai Jintang was a little peeved1, "Why didn't you tell Yutang and the others? Aren't you surrounded by police officers?"

Gongsun furrowed his brows again, "It used to only happen occasionally, so I didn't think too much of it. It's just these few days... that it had become overwhelming."

"Since Yutang and the team have their hands full with the case, you wanted to wait a bit before telling them about it, didn't you?" Bai Jintang pulled Gongsun to the windows and said, "I might be able to help you."

Gongsun looked at him perplexed, "How did you know?"

Bai Jintang chuckled, "I suffered a head injury in the past and received treatment in a sterile, enclosed environment."

"What?!" Gongsun exclaimed in surprise.

Pointing to his head, Bai Jintang continued, "Ever since I recovered, I've become very intuitive towards certain things and I'm particularly sensitive to malicious intent."

As he spoke, Bai Jintang pulled Gongsun to his side and lowered his head like he was kissing the latter's neck, "I can feel strong animosity coming from the building just ahead."

Gongsun found it amusing, "Are you trying to say that you have some special ability?"

Bai Jintang shrugged unconcerned, "I just have heightened senses. Do you wanna bet?"

"What bet?"
"You'll have to cooperate with me and I'll help you catch that pervert.

After considering for a moment, Gongsun nodded his head.

Bai Jintang's lips curled into a smirk and pressed Gongsun against the floor-to-ceiling window. 

"Ah!" Gongsun was shocked by the feeling of Bai Jintang kissing on his nape and turned his head back in a panic, "W-What are you doing?"

Bai Jintang stuck himself onto Gongsun while wearing a smile on his face. He then unbuttoned the latter's shirt, reaching in to feel the smoothness of his skin, "Be good! You have to cooperate."

"Ah..." Gongsun tried to break away in a fluster, but there was nothing he could do against Bai Jintang's monstrous strength. While the latter's indecent hands travelled all around his body. 

"You... Let go!" Gongsun's face paled as his anger rose, "Don't touch... Ah..."

"We've got to catch the pervert!" Bai Jintang declared and turned Gongsun around abruptly. Tearing his shirt off, raining kisses down his neck, collar bone and shoulders, lightly nibbling as he did so. With one hand holding Gongsun in place by his waist, the other slowly slid down the curve of Gongsun's back, gliding down to his hipline. When Bai Jintang's hand grazed between Gongsun's legs, he almost jumped in and started shouting, "Pervert! You're the pervert!" Let go! Don't touch me... Let go! Asshole!"

Seeing the obviously frightened Gongsun flail about in his embrace, kicking and thrashing; the Gongsun who's desperately fighting back, Bai Jintang suddenly found the situation terribly fun! This was much too enjoyable! And his hand movements grew increasingly indecent as he thought: "Here I am trying to help you catch a pervert, shouldn't I get some remuneration for my efforts?"
Completely oblivious to the fact that he had become a lecher through and through. 

"Hnn..." Gongsun who was being played around by Bai Jintang felt so miserable, words couldn't explain how he felt. He truly regretted it. How could he have been so stupid to invite a wolf into his house?

"Shh..." Bai Jintang hushed as he stopped his movements and watched Gongsun in amusement, "It's coming soon, just bear with it a little longer."

Sweat was trickling down Gongsun's forehead while his hair on either side stuck to his temples. He had lost all strength in his body from struggling too much before. Damn this man and his superhuman strength. Unable to resist anymore, Gongsun could only glare daggers at the man who took advantage of him and still dares to smile so shamelessly.

However, that fierce look coupled with the dishevelled clothes and that pale complexion that became flushed only made Bai Jintang want to howl at the moon like a wolf. That's too sexy! This was exactly his cup of tea2!!

But Bai Jintang ultimately wasn't a real pervert nor was he one for coercing people. 
(lilies: LIES! BIG FAT LIE!!)
Bai Jintang easily picked up Gongsun bridal style and placed the latter on the sofa before leaning over Gongsun. Only this time, he didn't move but instead looked at Gongsun straight in the eye and said, "Put your arms over my neck."

"Dream on!" Gongsun proclaimed while reaching out to push him off. 

Bai Jintang shook his head, "Do you know that, against a lecher, your resistance only serves to excite them?"

"Pervert! Get lost!" Gongsun struggled desperately. 

Bai Jintang grabbed Gongsun's hands and closed in on his face, "It's just pretend! If you're so unwilling, then I'm going to do it for real."

......

Seeing Gongsun's hesitance, Bai Jintang let go of his hands satisfactorily. But when he lowered his head, Gongsun turned his face away. 

"Hmm?" Bai Jintang nuzzled against Gongsun's ear, like he was urging him to hurry.

Gongsun eventually reached out his hands to grab Bai Jintangs shoulder before slowly wrapping them around his neck as he muttered through clenched teeth, "You watch out..."

“DIDIDIDIDDIIDIDIDIDIDDIDIDI……”

Gongsun was stunned by the urgent telephone ring.

Bai Jintang smirked, "Ignore them." Then he bowed and captured Gongsun's lips with his, gently kissing the latter. 
(lilies: hello what happened to 'not a pervert' and 'don't like forcing people'???)

"U——" Gongsun think Bai Jintang would eat his words; all he could do now was pound on Bai Jintang's back.

The phone kept ringing, but it didn't look like Bai Jintang had any intention of picking it up. Instead, all he cared about was enjoying his hard-earned benefits.

"You... no... the p-phone..." Gongsun was so out of breath he couldn't even finish a proper sentence. 

Only then, did Bai Jintang reach out to answer the phone. Seeing his actions, Gongsun became tense. Bai Jintang pulled him into a hug and said, "It's alright, I'm here."

"Hello~~" After picking up the phone, Bai Jintang listened on the receiver while leaning down for another kiss. 

Heavy panting could be heard from the phone and Bai Jintang could feel a wave of distinct anger coming through. He simply chuckled and spoke into the phone while kissing Gongsun,
"Speak!"

However, the person on the other end still didn't say a word, instead, the panting became even louder. As if the person was on the verge of erupting into an angry rage. 

"Hnn..." Bai Jintang whispered by Gongsun's ear, "You taste so sweet... I want to hear you cry out..."

Gongsun wanted to yell: "Shameless! Vile! Obscene..." but there was nothing he could do as Bai Jintang blocked the words with his mouth. 

Suddenly, a loud screech that resembled metal being scraped came from the phone, accompanied by a hysterical roar, "You are mine... mine... mine..."

Under the effects of the voice changer, the shrill scream even more bizarre and blood-curdling. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Bai Jintang's face as he said with a smile, "Whoever said he's yours? He is mine."

"Shut it! I'm going to kill you! I will kill you!!" the person screamed at the top of their lungs, producing an ear-piercing shriek3.

"Hang up the phone... H-Hang up," Gongsun couldn't listen to any more of that inhuman screams.

Bai Jintang said into the phone, "If you wanna kill me, you'd better hurry it up. Or he'll become mine tonight."

With that, he hung up and unplugged the landline with one hand. He got up and carried the completely drained Gongsun to the bedroom. Along the way, he passed by the window and pulled the curtains close with an aggravating smile on his face.

After placing Gongsun on the bed, Bai Jintang tucked him in properly without any additional actions and switched off the lights.
(lilies: insert Lenny face?)
Bai Jintang got out of the bedroom and fumbled through Gongsun's jacket that was left on the floor. After retrieving Gongsun's headphone, he fetched himself a wine glass, randomly opened was bottle of wine from the rack and poured himself a glass.
(lilies: if Gongsun doesn't kill him for sexual harassment, he might be killed for this lollol)

With the glass in hand, he sat down on the sofa, leisurely sipping on the glass of wine. He started scrolling through the contacts on Gongsun's phone, carefully going through them one by one...


Inside a dark and gloomy room, a virtually insane person was smashing and tearing apart everything they could lay their hands on. While they chanted over and over again with that hoarse voice of theirs, "You are mine... I will kill you... You are mine... I will kill you..."
