Illusion - SCI Mystery 谜案集 Fanfiction

Chapter 12

He stuck out his tongue at the red-faced Yao and left.

Bai Yutong continuously hit the punching-bag with frustration.

Almost a week had already passed and they still didn't have major imrpovements on the case. Of course they gathered a lot of information but they still lacked the decisive piece of evidence.

Bao Sir had - unlike usually - tried to calm Yutong. An organization this big was not something they could take down overnight.

But even though he knew that as well and usually would not be this impatient, he could just not hold back his frustration.

With a final hit, he finally let go of the sand-bag and went straight to the showers.

After he was done he got dressed and headed straight to visit Zhan Yao.

He also got Zhan Yao's favourite food as a present to surprise him. With the thought of having dinner together after a long time his mood improved almost immediately.

When he arrived at the prison's gate, he noticed something was not right in an instant.

The camera was not turning like it usually did and with a second look he saw that it's cables had been cut. He also had not seen the guard before either. And Bai Yutong knew every guard here.

"Hey, I'm here to visit an inmate in relation to a case. Do I have to go through some kind of procedure to do that?"

He decided to test the guy.

There was not a single guard here who didn't know about Bai Yutong.

"Is this your first time here?"

The guard asked. Bai Yutong smiled.

"Yeah."

The guard put on an apologetic look.

"Sorry, but you need a special permit from the police chief to get in. I guess you'll have to come again another time."

There never has been such rule.

Bai Yuotong's intuition proved right once again.

Zhan Yao sat in his cell and waited for Bai Yutong. He should arrive in about half an hour, so he guessed.

His attention was drawn to sudden noises coming from the corridors and the anxious exchange of glances between the guards in the room his cell was located in.

He picked up a pen, wrote 'What is happening outside?' on a paper and approached the camera to show the guards what he wrote. He never bothered to communicate with them before but the increasing noise coming from outside worried him.

He recalled Bao Sir's words from a few days back.

'I think they will be making a move soon so you have to be prepared. Don't let your guard down.'

Could it be?

Hastily he picked up the pen and paper again and showed the camera since the guards still didn't respond to him.

I think we're getting attacked. Call Bao Sir and Bai Sir immediately!

With a huge sound the door was forced open and a few men dressed in black entered the room.

The completely overwhelmed guards were knocked out in an instant.

Zhan Yao let the paper sink down. He had reacted too late.
