Killer Training Camp - Chapter 45 Retribution [Case Closed]

---

At 9 PM in the evening, outside a high-end apartment building in S City.
Zhang Long and Wang Chao had been staking out in the car for a day and a night.

"Is she still not back yet, or has she been sleeping this whole time?" Zhang Long asked Wang Chao puzzledly while looking at the window on the twelfth floor that had been dark the entire time.
"Either that, or the windows in her apartment are specially made?" Wang Chao shrugged.
At this time, a luxurious black sedan drove into the neighbourhood and parked under the apartment building.
“Hey hey! Look who that is?" Wang Chao was immediately energised.
"We caught a big fish!!" Zhang Long quickly took out a mini camera to film.

Just as he did that, they saw the car door open and a decently dressed man got out of the car. The men then went to the other side and opened the door, and Fang Jing walked out, dressed in a gorgeous gown.
"Oho~~" Zhang Long asked with raised brows. "Can you guess what they were up to?"
"Hmm~~ Maybe it's to celebrate Gongsun's murder," Wang Chao said as he opened his laptop.
The two quickly entered the apartment building, Zhang Long stopped shooting and imported the video they had just shot into the computer.

S.C.I. the headquarters: Jiang Ping received the video in the first instance.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang gathered around to look as well.

"Cat, something feels off about this Fang Jing." Bai Yutang frowned.
Jiang Ping concurred, "Yeah, she looks plain and simple in the photos, yet feels very sultry in the entertainment magazines~~ And in this video she appears very elegant and classy…"
"Aren't women all like this?" Xu Qing asked.

Zhan Zhao stayed silent, replaying the video again and again before he suddenly said, "Zhang Hua said Fang Jing has been abroad, right? Which country did she go to?
Jiang Ping pulled out the information about Fang Jing that he had just found and answered, "Her immigration records show that she went to California six years ago."
Zhan Zhao then followed up with, "Where is Professor Wilson during this time?"
Jiang Ping did a check. "Hah, at the same place."

"Cat, you think there's something between them" Bai Yutang asked.
Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "According to Zhang Hua, Fang Jing used to take drugs, right?"
"That's right." Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao.
"As far as I know, Professor Wilson has always advocated psychotherapy as a way to treat drug addiction." Zhan Zhao reached out to turn the keyboard in front of Jiang Ping towards himself and entered the address of a foreign psychology website.

A webpage quickly appeared on screen with detailed reports on Professor Wilson's successful use of psychology to help drug addicts get clean.
Jiang Ping took back the keyboard and started typing away.

"What are you doing?" Bai Yutang asked puzzledly.
"I'm asking an American friend of mine who might be able to help me figure out what to do."
"What does your friend do?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.
"Oh~~A hacker who specialises in attacking government websites. Maybe he can access the network of mental healthcare institutions and help me find some hidden, unknown private treatment information." Jiang Ping continued tapping on his keyboard, "Look, a reply. Good stuff."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao leaned in to look at the screen, and saw that it was a brief registration document for psychological treatment. The patient was Fang Jing, and her doctor was Professor Wilson.
"There really is a connection between them." Bai Yutang frowned. "Fang Jing is just Wilson's pawn."
"No…" Zhan Zhao said while shaking his head, "It may not be that simple."
"What else is there?” Ai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, confused.
"Look at the way Fang Jing gazes at Pang Yu." Zhan Zhao pointed to a still frame in that video and said, "The eyes do not lie."

Everyone else studied the still image of Fang Jing seriously. It was obviously a look of love as Fang Jing looked intently at Pang Yu.

Bai Yutang was somewhat bewildered. "What does this mean?"
Zhan Zhao's brows knitted together as he thought for a while. "Jiang Ping, search for information about the annual conference of the International Psychology Institutions, I remember that it should be coming up soon."
"Ok." Jiang Ping tapped on the keyboard, and the information appeared one by one. "It's in three days."
"Search for Pang Yu again." Zhan Zhao leaned in, supporting his weight with one hand on the desk, a little anxious.
"Ah..." Everyone looked at the search results displayed on screen in surprise. "Pang Yu will read out his award-winning paper, 《The Evolution and Development of Personality》 at this Annual Psychology Conference."

"My gosh~~" Zhan Zhao sighed.
"Cat, what does this mean?" Bai Yutang had a look of confusion on his face.
"It means that a poor woman has become a pawn in a contest between two insane psychologists." Zhan Zhao had a grim look on his face. "Xiao Bai, do you remember Jon King saying that his lover died after receiving treatment from Professor Wilson."

"Yeah," Bai Yutang affirmed while nodding, "Accordingly it was suicide… You mean…"
Zhan Zhao nodded. "What if Fang Jing also commits suicide?"

"Ah~~~" Bai Yutang said, "I see. Killing Jia Zhengyan, Zhang Hua, as well as Gongsun was not for fear of people knowing that Fang Jing was involved in this case, but rather not wanting people to know that Fang Jing used to be a drug addict and had received treatment from Wilson. In addition, as long as Fang Jing dies everything about the "Killer Training Camp" can all be put on her, because all the evidence we have points directly to her."

"That way, neither Professor Wilson nor Pang Yu will have anything to do with it." Bai Chi, who had been listening intently from the side, had a look of anger on his face. "She really is a victim through and through."

"Is there any way we can stop it?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.
"I have to meet her," Zhan Zhao said, "The sooner the better."
Bai Yutang took out his phone and called Zhang Long.
"Cap, Pang Yu just left," Zhang Long said, the minute he picked up the phone.
"In other words, Fang Jing is home alone right now?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao. "What now?" 

(lilies: home alone is also a pretty violent film now that I think about it)

"Don't worry," Zhan Zhao said, “She should be fine now because Pang Yu just left, and if she commits suicide now, he will inevitably be dragged in."
"Let's go!" Bai Yutang picked up his coat and said to Zhan Zhao, "Let's take over from Zhang Long and Wang Chao."
"I'll go as well," Bai Chi said immediately.

The three of them quickly drove to the vicinity of Fang Jing's residence and replaced Zhang Long and Wang Chao.

"Cat, what's the plan?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao looked up at the dark windows of Fang Jing's house and said, "I'm now very suspicious that Wilson used illegal treatment methods."
"What?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
"Something looks very off about Fang Jing," Zhan Zhao explained, "It feels like she is on the edge, very unstable and fickle."

Bai Chi and Bai Yutang looked at each other before shaking their heads in confusion. "We don't see it."
Zhan Zhao was made speechless by the pair of brothers. He looked at them and asked, "Do you remember Professor Wilson's paper on split personality?" 

(lilies: our kitty be so done with these idiot brothers ahaahah)

"Yes." Bai Chi nodded.
Bai Yutang looked at the two of them. "I remember a little bit~~"
"Haa~~~" Zhan Zhao let out a sigh and said, "Actually, the research that's done by the Killer Training Camp now, or rather, the research done for Pang Yu's paper, feels like what Wilson discovered decades ago."
"And so?" The Bai brothers tilted their heads together. 

(lilies: i really think our Bai boys are a bunch of dogs °ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ° our adorable little puppers)

"That is to say, Wilson's research should be further along now, and it is very likely that he is able to create a split personality." Zhan Zhao touched his chin with one hand and said slowly, "Fang Jing's situation is like having a second personality awakened, but that personality is not used by her."

Bai Yutang had a face of epiphany. "Ah~~ Are you saying that Pang Yu and Wilson are each controlling a personality of hers? That would explain what we were talking about this morning, the difference between the first two types of victims! The victims selected by Yang Feng and Qi Lei, the former was random, picked by Pang Yu for academic research. While the latter was selected by Wilson to draw our attention to the "Killer Training Camp"."

"Clever!" Zhan Zhao said approvingly, "I think that when Fang Jing was undergoing treatment in the past, Wilson discovered that she met certain requirements of his experiment and thus stimulated the development of her other personality. He has also maintained control over her other personality… It was when he learnt of Pang Yu's research and the "Killer Training Camp" that he decided to make use of it. These two men seem to be trying to compete academically..."

Both Bai Chi and Bai Yutang fell silent. This type of behaviour was too crazy. Mankind was like a pyramid, but the relationship between people was the most primitive ecological food chain… The creatures standing at the top can easily feed on the creatures at the bottom, or use them as the objects of a game~~ How cruel.

As time passed one minute at a time, and the day dawned, Bai Chi had quietly fallen asleep in the back seat. Bai Yutang was brimming with energy as always. What was rare was that Zhan Zhao, who was always lethargic, was also wide awake until daybreak… Bai Yutang could feel him emanating a sense of compassion; this person always sympathised with all the unfortunate people in the world.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao who had their heart in their mouth, finally felt it settle down when they saw the appearance of the figure at the entrance of the apartment building. The two of them perked up and stared at Fang Jing who came out. They saw her walk into a convenience store in the neighbourhood. Zhan Zhao immediately got out of the car, turned back to Bai Yutang who was going to follow him and said, "Let me go on my own, I want to talk to her alone."

Nodding, Bai Yutang watched Zhan Zhao run to the convenience store.

…

After about ten minutes, Fang Jing walked out alone and returned to the apartment.
Bai Yutang stared at the door of the convenience store anxiously. After a while, Zhan Zhao walked out with a look of fatigue and returned to the car.

"How are you feeling?" Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao to his side and let him lean on his shoulder.
"Mhm, Fang Jing should…"
"I'm asking about you!" Bai Yutang cut him off somewhat harshly.
Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment before he nuzzled against Bai Yutang's shoulders to comfort the man. "I'm fine, let's get ready for the riot in the afternoon. We still have to put on another show, this time we're really going to catch a big fish."
"Alright, you rest for a while, I'll arrange the rest." Bai Yutang reached out and gently rubbed Zhan Zhao's hair.
Zhan Zhao smiled. "And you know what I have in mind?"

"Heh." Bai Yutang said proudly, "What you are thinking can never escape my eyes. You are an expert in studying people, and I am an expert in studying you." The last words were submerged in a gentle kiss. While Little Bai Chi who was seated in the back closed his eyes tightly, his face flushed red, as his lashes trembled and trembled~~~ 

(lilies: my my, FRONT ROW SEATS)

Afternoon news telecast of S City: "Fang Jing, a well-known manager in the entertainment industry, was found dead at home by her friend. According to preliminary police investigation, her death was suicide by poison. Fang Jing stated in her suicide note that she was the main mastermind behind a series of recent serial killings and a large amount of relevant evidence was found in her home."

The person in front of the TV watched the chaotic scene on the screen with satisfaction, sipping the wine in their glass, smiling smugly as they raised their glass in the air and gesturing with it slightly, as if inviting someone, to come and share a drink.

In S.C.I.'s office, everyone was busy when Lu Fang brought in a person and said, "Xiao Zhan, someone is looking for you."

Everyone looked up and saw Pang Yu carrying his luggage.

Pang Yu greeted Zhan Zhao with a smile, "Dr. Zhan, we meet again."
"Hello," Zhan Zhao returned the greetings and shook hands with him politely.
"I'm going to attend the Annual Psychology Conference," Pang Yu said with a smile. "Have you read my paper? I'd love to hear your opinion."
Zhan Zhao shook his head. "Sorry, I've been busy recently, so I haven't seen it."

“Oh, I hope you have time to take a look. I am very eager for your opinion. "Pang Yu turned around, “That's right!" Why do you never attend psychology conferences and awards? With your attainments and status, you should have a good chance. "Pang Yu asked before going out.
Zhan Zhao glanced at him before shaking his head as he said, "You won't understand."

Pang Yu shrugged somewhat regretfully, nodded and said "bye", and left.

Jiang Ping kicked the stool beside him fiercely, "Motherf*cker, he got off too lightly."

Zhan Zhao's eyes were still on the door as he slowly said, "There will be retribution."

"Cat, I thought you don't believe in things like that?" Bai Yutang put on his jacket and asked curiously.
Zhan Zhao nodded vaguely and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Of course!" Bai Yutang shook the car key in his hand. "Ready to go at any time."
"Are you coming along, Bai Chi?" Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Chi, who looked eager.
"Mhm… mhm." Bai Chi nodded timidly; his face flushed red~~~

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other—what's wrong with this child??

"Has the Madam taken her medicine?" In a luxurious villa, Wilson looked out the glass wall, where Laura was basking in the sun in the middle of the yard, and asked the nurse.
"Yes." The nurse answered before taking her leave.

Wilson poured himself a glass of vodka, the strong liquor stimulating his nerves. He felt good as he gazed fondly out of the window at his peaceful looking wife. "Laura, my darling, you are my last child of God…"

"Sir." The maid knocked on the door and said to Wilson, "These two police officers say they have something important and they want to see you."

Outside the door, Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang nodded politely to Wilson.

"…Oh! Zhan, and Officer Bai, why brings you here?" Wilson quickly regained his usual enthusiasm after a moment of surprise. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang shared a look of understanding.

"Professor Wilson, we have a list of names here." As he said that, Bai Yutang handed a list to Wilson. "Everyone on here had a split personality and committed suicide after your treatment. We have reason to suspect that you are engaging in illegal treatment and using patients to commit crimes, among other things."

"Keke~~" Wilson shook his head helplessly, “I don't understand what you said at all. ”
Zhan Zhao smiled. "Doctor, we have already submitted the case to Interpol and were granted permission to arrest you and carry out a judicial transfer."
Bai Yutang took out a document. "Do you need to see the arrest warrant?"
The smile on Wilson's face faded, "You have no evidence, on what grounds are you arresting me?"

Bai Yutang chuckled, "If you want evidence, I think the best one is right here." Saying that, he beckoned to the door, and Bai Chi walked in with a haggard Fang Jing.

Wilson looked at Fang Jing in disbelief. "How… you should…"
"She should be dead already right?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Zhan! It's you, isn't it? You did something to her, didn't you? How could this happen?" Wilson yelled, a little out of control.
"It's just hypnosis," Zhan Zhao said, "In a short time, quickly, through speech."
"What, y-you can actually do that… How's that possible?" At a loss, Wilson shook his head. "How did you do it?"

At this point, Bai Yutang had already walked over and handcuffed Wilson, but Wilson was obviously more interested in what Zhan Zhao had done, and kept pressing him for answers.

Zhan Zhao found him ridiculous, and said while shaking his head, "To you, what exactly is psychology? Is it medicine or magic? Or a spell to manipulate others?!"
"Tell me! I want to know! Tell me! How did you do it!" Wilson struggled as he stared at Zhan Zhao.

"The prompt is a coloured pill, and the command is sleep." Zhan Zhao said, "As long as she sees the coloured pills, she will go into deep sleep, and she'll only wake up when I give a command again."

"Haha…" Wilson suddenly burst out laughing. "Genius! Genius… You truly are a one in a million genius… Zhan Zhao, you are the true child of the gods… Zhan…"

Bai Yutang roughly shoved Wilson to the police officer outside. "Take him away."
Wilson was still shouting when he was escorted out. A famous psychologist, a person who controlled others, now appeared like a true madman.

"Are you okay?" Bai Chi walked to Zhan Zhao concernedly. "Don't mind him."
Zhan Zhao patted his head with a smile, "I'm ok." But his gaze fell on Laura who was beyond the floor-to-ceiling window.
"What's the matter, Cat?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao turned around slowly and asked Bai Yutang, "Do you remember me telling you that if killing a very bad person can save many good people, then I will also kill…"

Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao for a long time and said, "Cat, just follow your heart."
Zhan Zhao nodded, and Bai Yutang pulled him away. And as they left the room, Zhan Zhao looked back at Laura for the last time, his eyes full of compassion.

Laura sat there quietly, stroking a pocket pistol in her hand, repeating mechanically, "I am your Child of God… the last Child of God…"

At noon the next day, the S.C.I. office was bustling with activity.
Ma Han and Zhao Hu had returned from their mission, and they also received news from Interpol that Wilson had been charged, and the case was considered successfully solved.

The Ding twins brought champagne and food, and everyone began to celebrate.

"Haiz~~" Ma Han took a sip of champagne and sighed. "It's a pity that Pang Yu, that rascal, got off so lightly."
"Not necessarily~~" The door was pushed open, and Lu Fang came in with a CD and said, "Let me show you guys something."

It was a clip of a news telecast; at the Annual International Psychology Conference, there was a shooting, and the young psychologist Pang Yu was shot dead. The shooter was the wife of renowned psychology professor Wilson Brown, Ms Laura. It was later confirmed by doctors that she had severe split personality, and that she was under the control of her own husband and needed to be admitted to hospital for treatment.

Everyone in the S.C.I. fell silent. Lu Fang turned off the video, turned around and asked, "Do you believe in karma? Whether it's Wilson or Pang Yu, it's all karma!"

Everyone collectively turned to look at Zhan Zhao.
"

What?" Zhan Zhao shrugged, with a blank expression on his face. "It is indeed retribution~~~"

After that little intermission, everyone in the S.C.I. celebrated even harder and they were all overjoyed. Little Bai Chi was holding the wine glass, his face red as he laid on the sofa, snuggling and snuggling against the seat, mumbling something about popcorn, cantaloupe, and so on. And all the "older brothers" who saw this sight couldn't stop themselves from drooling and they wanted to howl^[1]—so cute~~ 

(lilies: awhh our wittle baby bai chi)

In the chaotic office, no one noticed that a few people were missing.

In the prison visitation room, Fang Jing looked at Gongsun in front of her and smiled somewhat sadly. "I'm sorry…"
Gongsun shook his head. "Pang Yu is dead."
Fang Jing was taken aback for a moment, then tears seem to well up in her eyes. "I'm such a failure in life, don't you think?"
Gongsun looked at her quietly before reaching out his hand to wipe away her tears. "It's not your fault. Loving or being loved; there's nothing wrong with it. Even if hurt was caused, it can be forgiven if it came from a place of love."

Walking out of the visitation room, Gongsun saw Bai Jintang standing outside waiting with bated breath.
Bai Jintang opened the car door for him, but Gongsun shook his head. "I want to walk."

"Your body…" Bai Jintang was about to speak but was cut off by the look in Gongsun's eyes.
Gongsun glared daggers at him before laughing. "Who was it that said they would listen to everything I say from now on?"
"Okay~~okay~~Walk! Walk!" Bai Jintang followed behind happily.

The twins stalking in the distance continued to mourn for their boss—he's been subdued! Their boss had been completely tamed by Gongsun~~~

In front of the prison gates, Jon King was about to get in the car. He would be transferred back to his country to serve his sentence.

Zhan Zhao walked to the car and handed Jon a document. "Your friend's treatment records."

Jon took it and opened it; the smile in the photo was as bright as ever, just like in the past.

Zhan Zhao said, "I've read his treatment report. He committed suicide because he wanted to protect you. His other personality was ordered to kill you… He did not commit suicide because he was weak, but because he loved you."

Jon held the information tightly and sat in the car blankly, unable to contain his tears anymore.

Zhan Zhao walked slowly out of the prison gates and looked back at this huge cage. It was like hell, layer upon layer, it held countless unforgivable evil spirits. However, just like the definition of hell in the Divine Comedy, the meaning of its existence did not lie in whether or not it allowed evil spirits to be punished, but rather to allow those murdered spirits to rest in peace, and more importantly, to save the souls wandering on the edge of hell.

At the bottom of the long staircase, Bai Yutang was leaning against a lavish sports car looking up and smiling at him. Some people believe that a leopard can't change its spots^[2], but some believe that there is a fine line between becoming a demon and becoming a Buddha. The key is that you can see the people around you who truly love you and deserve your love."

Zhan Zhao quickly ran down the steps to Bai Yutang's side.

"Do you want to go to a concert?" Bai Yutang took out two tickets.
"Qi Le and her band's?" Zhan Zhao asked, looking at the tickets with a face of surprise.
"She just left." Bai Yutang pointed to the distance. "She just gave me the tickets and left. She also said that she wanted to get clean and wanted you to treat her."
"You interceded for them, didn't you?" Zhan Zhao got into the car and asked Bai Yutang, "to let them reaudition."
Bai Yutang shrugged. "Who knows?" Then he started the car. "The other day Pang Yu asked you why you never went to those what international conferences, or awards, and whatnot. You said he would never understand."
Zhan Zhao thought for a moment. "In general, I think a psychologist is ultimately still a doctor. What is the job of a doctor?"
"Ah~~" Bai Yutang nodded. "I get it. Indeed, people like him will never understand~~Cat is indeed a cat."
"There you go again, saying things with no logic?"

"Who said there is no logic? Then you tell me, what is a cat if it's not a cat?" 

(lilies: what a mouthful ahahah)
"Shitty Mouse!"
"Why are you hitting people?"
"I'm hitting a mouse!"
"…Alright!" Pulls over and kisses.
"What are you doing?!" Wipe wipe.
"What are you doing? I kissed a cat!"
"I'm going to beat you to death!"
"Cat! I'm driving~~"
"I don't care!!"

The car continued to move forward in an S-shape.
Who was it that said: "When everything is over, everything is far from over..."

1. Written as "狼性大发" which has sexual connotations, but I find it weird cos the entire sentence reads more like a bunch of brothers who find their younger brother adorable^↩

2. Written as "江山易改本性难移" which directly translates to "it's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature", with the "change a country" referring to changing dynasties like in Chinese history. The second part about like demon and buddha, I think refers to like the power of choice.^↩
