Chapter 1517: A Little Sweetness with the Forensic Doctor 30

A dim basement without sunlight.

Gu Huan, familiar with the way, carried the person who had lost all struggle and fainted, walked in, casually threw him onto the sofa, and stared with interest at that harmless face for a while.

On the coffee table opposite the sofa lay two laptops; the lit screen displayed precisely the homepage of a suicide mutual aid website.

He got up, fiddled for a moment, and the website showed a new account: White Rabbit.

The screen's reflection glinted off his lenses; his narrow, cold eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a faintly smug smile.

The police have investigated for so long yet still haven't found the key point; as long as Qinghuan Hospital stays hidden, the website's affair can never be exposed.

"You... who are you?"

The person on the sofa finally awoke, his eyes filled with bewilderment and helplessness; he not only failed to recognize the man before him, but also couldn't remember who he was.

"Do you still remember your name?" Gu Huan approached the sofa and asked, his voice gentle, the look behind his lenses holding a dangerous smile.

"I don't remember..."

"You are Wei Yan, suffering from severe amnesia and nightmare disorder; I am your psychiatrist, Gu Huan."

Wei Yan looked doubtfully at the doctor, sighed, and said: "It's unfortunate that this stage of treatment wasn't successful; you've lost your memory again."

As his words fell, the room's lights came on; Wei Yan first shrank back, feeling utterly unsafe, then relaxed upon seeing the setup fully matching a psychiatric hospital, finally his gaze landing on the doctor's face in a white coat.

In an unfamiliar environment, people instinctively approach those who speak to them or share similar traits.

Moreover, Gu Huan also assumes the identity of a psychiatrist.

"Don't worry; based on prior experience, you may recall some things later—first go rest."

Gu Huan helped him up, was about to personally give him medicine when he heard a noise from the stairwell, and the smile on his face faded somewhat.

"This is today's medicine; remember to take it on time."

"Okay." Wei Yan obediently took the medicine, clenched it in his palm, watched the doctor leave, and continued observing the hospital environment.

Wei Yan's removed coat was casually tossed near the doorway, and the connected monitor faintly transmitted sounds from the hallway.

It was a deep, aged male voice.

"You're too reckless; if the police discover this place, our plan will come to nothing."

Gu Huan was obviously confident: "Rest assured, with the ears in place, grasping their movements is as easy as turning one's hand."

"I came to you for this matter; if the ears are discovered, they need to be destroyed quickly; you must remember to remind the eyes to keep them well hidden."

Gu Huan took a deep breath, seemingly not expecting the police to act so quickly: "Alright, I'm going now."

The speaking voice faded away with the receding footsteps.

After taking the medicine, Wei Yan fell into a deep sleep, and the basement sank back into darkness.

The night was dark and windy; a neat, tall figure entered the basement, using the darkness for cover, approaching the sleeping person's side.

Crushed mint leaves were waved under Wei Yan's nose, then another silver needle was inserted.

…

After a moment, Wei Yan blinked his eyes, but still succumbed to the strong sleep and passed out.

That figure slipped a note into Wei Yan's clothing, left silently, and no one discovered that this reputed forbidden basement prison would have others break in.

——

The next day, Wei Yan, who hadn't shown up for work on time, after undergoing an "investigation," was confirmed to have been kidnapped by criminals.

Temporarily losing a strong technical staff member, the entire administrative brigade felt deep sorrow; Yi Tian, regarding himself and Wei Yan jointly tracking the suspect, ultimately losing his teammate, felt especially distressed, wrote a self-criticism report, then went out sullenly to "look for someone."

It seemed as if nobody knew exactly where Wei Yan was being held in some obscure corner.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Major Case Team, who were usually swamped, suddenly seemed to lose all vigor—they didn't go out to look for people, didn't analyze clues, and just wandered aimlessly throughout the city bureau.

It was still led by team captain Jin Chen!

Duan Xiao Bai was tormented by the case and family, still unable to see the soft, cute little Xiao Wei'er; his work enthusiasm was also doused, he furrowed his brows, went to the third-floor restroom and splashed cold water on his face.

Just as she entered the restroom, her expression quickly changed; she became wary and turned on the signal detector.

Here, too, there was no problem.

Duan Xiao Bai wore a strange expression as he put things away, scratching his hair where the hairpin was clipped.

Strange, Jin Team said there were ears in the city bureau, but no matter how deeply hidden, to silently communicate with the outside world one would need some special contact device, yet nothing could be found.

"Who?" Duan Xiao Bai caught a fleeting shadow in his peripheral vision next door, quickly became wary and gave chase.

The restroom's corner stairway leads directly to the fourth floor, which is the place of the information investigators.

Duan Xiao Bai followed halfway, then thought of something and turned back, standing solemnly at the men's restroom doorway, pondering.

"Damn..." The criminal detective who came to use the restroom was startled, "White Sis, you... you have peculiar tastes."

Duan Xiao Bai: "……"

She waved her hand, "Come over, go in and see if there's anything dirty."

What the "dirty things" in the city bureau refer to, the criminal detective team all know full well; the male detective immediately wiped off his smile, pressed the detector, and went in.

The red light beeped.

"White Sis! There's a bug here!"

"Sure enough!"

Duan Xiao Bai turned and ran, quickly dialed Jin Chen's number, "Jin Team! The ears ran to the fourth floor!"

Jin Chen and Yi Tian respectively flanked from above and below, successfully subduing the ears amidst the shocked gazes of the earnest investigators.

"Sorry to disturb you all, please continue, and could you quickly find the surveillance footage from before Wei Yan went missing?"

Jin Chen laughed as if nothing had happened, closed the investigators' office door, and hauled the ears like a chick, flinging them to the third floor.

"This is the newly arrived investigator; at most he's been here two months, yet he's already far ahead of that case." Duan Xiao Bai held the ears' file, the criminal detective office door tightly shut, the ears trapped in the chair with no escape.

"Ears, do you have a name?" Jin Chen embraced Wu Lin, who had emerged from the forensics room hearing the commotion; his earlier worried look for teammates was gone.

The ears noticed this, and their heart gave a start.

"What's the point of being mute." Jin Chen sneered, played the recording of Gu Huan and the man talking for him to hear, "You're about to be abandoned."

Er Duo thought silently for a few seconds, confirmed that the voice indeed belonged to Gu Huan, then immediately used leg and waist strength to move his body and the chair, lunging headfirst at the sharp marble table corner.

"Hey!! You fucking bastard!" Yi Tian rushed to block, using the back of his hand to shield Er Duo's head, pain making him grit his teeth.

Yu Jue kicked over in anger, "You fucking dog! Let you die, just die??"

Jin Chen's face darkened, the "task performer's" mental control level was deeper than the victim's, almost a state of obeying every word.

He grabbed Wu Lin's waist to smooth his own breath, then stood up, seized Er Duo's hair, and dragged him over.

"If you want to die, go ahead, anyway the people behind you also said they want to destroy you as soon as possible."

Then his tone flattened: "But you ended up in my hands; if you don't say something today, this skin will be gone before your life."

Er Duo:??

He looked at Jin Chen in disbelief.

The confidant team members glanced at the Jin Team bearing the aura of an underworld boss, then looked at the police badge hanging in their office, and in unison averted their eyes.

Hmm… special circumstances, special treatment.

Gui Jianchou's threat was truly frightening; after being interrogated for a while, Er Duo feared Jin Chen would come to flay him, and stammered out some information.

"It's you who exposed yourselves," Er Duo glanced at Jin Chen, then lowered his head and laughed maniacally: "You think only I'm watching? Those several pairs of eyes are still tracking your every move."

"Mei Gui's plan is about to succeed…… If you dare to break the plan, all of you will be punished by the gods!"

Again, divine beings.

Jin Chen and Wu Lin exchanged glances, still uncertain whether the behind-the-scenes Mei Gui or Gui Die actually wanted to do what.

Even cults don't have their level of wickedness.
