Chapter 1521: Being Sweet with the Forensic Doctor 34

Jin Chen held the person in his arms, chatting about the case on and off; it was rather novel, and when he glanced over those butterfly specimens, he suddenly let out an "eh".

"They said before that your memories of those few years abroad had been tampered with; five years ago you were still under the control of the ghost butterfly."

Jin Chen lifted him from his arms, cupped his face, and asked: "Then how exactly did these butterfly specimens of yours come about?"

"Moreover, according to Sang Xue's description, she saw you should have been ten years ago; how could your recalled memory be from five years ago?"

Wu Lin suddenly looked up at the specimens on the shelf, and the memory anchor point once again pulled the related scene into his mind.

If he hadn't gone abroad, these butterflies that could only be legally obtained overseas...

"Entry and exit records." Wu Lin said softly, "They can be looked up."

More than ten minutes later, Ling Gun Gun's retrieved entry and exit records were displayed on the computer, confirming that Wu Lin had indeed lived abroad for a period of time.

"If we say the memory from ten years ago was a mental forgetfulness, then five years ago it was memory confusion, forcibly shifting your memory." Jin Chen lightly patted Wu Lin's back: "It's very possible that five years ago you again came into contact with the ghost butterfly, and he, being overly wary, refocused on you."

"Why doesn't the ghost butterfly just kill me outright? No matter what method, it would be faster than constantly altering my memory." Wu Lin calmly expressed his doubt.

Jin Chen pinched his face: "Stop talking nonsense."

However, he then analyzed: "It's very possible you still retain something that could threaten or lure the ghost butterfly; such an item he cannot seize, but he also doesn't want it to disappear."

The ringtone of Jin Chen's phone broke the eerie silence that had suddenly fallen in the room.

"Jin Team!"

Yu Jue finally brought some good news, which was also the reason Jin Chen, knowing full well that the gallery might be the basis point, had restrained himself from taking action all along.

"As of now, when I'm calling you, the more than thirty remaining victims on the website have been secretly placed under guard, while the other 'taskers' are under surveillance, and they are all currently heading en masse to the gallery."

Jin Chen immediately stood up, pulled open the heavy curtains that hadn't been moved in this room for a long time, and the dusty glass reflected the moon.

Finally, there was light in the darkness.

"Concentrate the investigative team's manpower, using my authority to reopen case No. 01698, and then search through all missing-person and mental-illness-related cases in the city over the past ten years."

Wu Lin immediately sat up straight, his gaze toward Jin Chen showing a kind of anxious eagerness.

Jin Chen patted his lower back to soothe him.

Yu Jue hesitated on the other end of the phone: "Jin Team, will the higher-ups agree?"

Type 01 cases are provincially sealed; even the bureau chief may not have the final say.

"Go ahead and investigate; if anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

Jin Chen hung up, immediately cleared his throat, sat up straight, and, as if drawing a sense of security from holding Wu Lin, dialed another call.

"Uncle?"

"Uncle! What uncle! You brat, calling me in the middle of the night surely isn't for anything good! If you make me open another green channel for you again, you'll go kneel at your mother's grave and kowtow fifty times before speaking!"

The other side's presence was overwhelming; just the Lion's Roar Technique would be enough to overwhelm someone.

Wu Lin lowered his eyelashes; he had looked into Jin Chen's background—his mother died early, his father died in the line of duty—and this uncle on the phone is the second-in-command of X Province.

Jin Chen moved the phone away, suddenly inspired: "Uncle, I'm in love."

"You... you're in love?! Male or female, old or young?"

Jin Chen: "……"

Wu Lin met his gaze, said nothing, and just silently leaned into his embrace a bit more.

"Male, a healthy young man." Jin Chen said helplessly: "Can't you just wish me well?"

"Bring him home for dinner tomorrow! Besides, your aunt is also coming back, so the whole family can meet." The old uncle's voice was no longer violent, and even a hint of kindness could be heard.

"As for the case, I want to restart case No. 01698, give you a heads-up, goodbye."

Jin Chen hung up before the old uncle could unleash his Lion's Roar again; surviving one day at a time.

Wu Lin rarely fell into a brief mental blank, unsure whether it was because he had finally succeeded in restarting the case his master had reviewed, or because he had just been outed by Jin Chen and was on the verge of meeting the parents, a subtle agitation.

"Why are you spacing out?" Jin Chen rubbed his collarbone and gave a light bite: "Still don't want to give me a title?"

It was dangerous to the point that it seemed as soon as Wu Lin nodded, he would be instantly devoured without discrimination.

"Not……"

Wu Lin was forced to lean back, his eyes gradually glazing with moisture, like a half-opened camellia flower in the dim moonlight.

He wrapped his arms around Jin Chen, exerting slight force, and hoarsely whispered: "Jin Chen, you clearly saw that diary entry on the computer."

"So what?" Jin Chen kissed that spot again: "Anyway, you're mine; it doesn't matter what thoughts you have when you get close."

Late night.

After shifting the front lines, Jin Chen finally got the chance to sleep in the master bedroom.

Ling Gun Gun figured he could probably speak now, so he let himself out of the little dark room.

【Host, all of Gu Luhui's data is also inside an unbreakable firewall, but I found out that the father of the protagonist attacker Gu Huan is named Gu Luming; could they be brothers with Gu Luhui?】

Jin Chen pondered for a while, then held the person and continued to burrow into the blankets to sleep.

【Focus on investigating the hospital where Gu Huan is located.】

——

Basement

Gu Huan, who had been on high alert all day, waited in the gallery but no police came.

The police car that sped past in the morning merely went to handle some malicious arson case on the neighboring street.

For some reason, Gu Huan always felt this affair was a bit unsettling, subconsciously sensing it as a precursor to an impending storm.

The response from his eyes was that the police had changed their plans; fortunately, the former site of Qinghuan was also temporarily safe.

"How did you come over?"

Gu Huan saw Wei Yan quietly walk in through the reflection on the computer screen, and casually closed his notebook.

"Medicine..." Wei Yan was still dazed; the nurses and other patients who often guarded outside were all strangers to him, and he subconsciously relied on this attending physician.

"The medicine has been scattered."

Wei Yan at a loss pointed outside; the most active bald head was again acting crazy, "He spilled my medicine."

Gu Huan stared at Wei Yan's brows and eyes for a few seconds, then relaxed and smiled, got up and took his hand, "It's fine, I'll prepare another dose for you."

Wei Yan lifted his clear yet somewhat bewildered eyes, then slowly nodded, "Okay."

When preparing the medicine, Wei Yan lay on the operating table; he obviously didn't know why the medicine had to be taken this way, but he didn't dare ask.

Until Gu Huan walked over, applied something to his collarbone, which felt numb.

"Don't be afraid, it's just so you won't have to take medicine every day." Gu Huan continued to soothe him not to move, his eyebrows showing pleasure, then took out two syringes.

During the procedure, Wei Yan saw Gu Huan's collar slightly open, and the rose pattern beneath it.

He reached out doubtfully to touch it, "What is this?"

"You'll have it soon too." Gu Huan gave him a mysterious, gentle smile.
