Afternoon.  In a Hong Kong type tea restaurant.  

Hong Kong is understood for being crowded.  So little area, so many individuals.  The tiny restaurant is full of diners.  It took some time earlier than Ouyang Lin finds an empty desk.  He can’t be bothered ready for the waiters to come back to get their orders.  He and Anam stroll as much as the counter.

Jian Yao is sitting subsequent to Bo Jinyan.  She asks him quietly: “What have you ever found?”

Bo Jinyan smiles: “I nonetheless have to confirm a couple of issues.” 

Jian Yao nods.

After some time, the 2 males return.  Ouyang Lin places 2 plates of rice in entrance of them: “There’s no grilled eel at the moment.  I ordered a barbecue roast pork and roast goose with rice for you.  It’s their hottest dish right here.”

Jian Yao appears down.  Everyone seems to be having the identical meals – roast pork and roast goose with rice.

Anam takes a pair of chopsticks and begins to eat.  Ouyang Lin is hungry too.  He begins earlier than Jian Yao and Bo Jinyan.  

Bo Jinyan frowns.  Then he begins consuming, however clearly, pushing the pork to at least one facet.  He’s solely consuming the goose.   

“Wait.” stated Jian Yao.  She transfers the roast pork from his plate to hers, and provides him all her roast goose.  

Bo Jinyan smiles at her: “Thanks.”

Throughout the entire alternate course of, they by no means talked, as in the event that they instinctively knew what’s on one another’s thoughts.  Each Anam and Ouyang Lin are amazed. 

Jian Yao explains to them: “Oh, he doesn’t take roast pork.”  However after all, she didn’t elaborate on the rationale.  

Ouyang Lin smiles.  Anam continues along with his meal.  

Jian Yao’s cellphone rings.  It’s her mom.  She walks exterior to take the decision.

The three males are left on the desk. Ouyang Lin thought he ought to begin a subject of dialog since he’s the host. He smiles to Bo Jinyan: “Professor, you areso fortunate to have such a delicate and thoughtful girlfriend.”

This can be a new expertise for Bo Jinyan.  Individuals often communicate to him out of respect.  Even when it’s out of envy, it’s due to his excessive IQ.  It’s the primary time it’s on his success on discovering the fitting girl.

Ha ha…. that’s inevitable that different males are jealous of him.  

He smiles, after which he appears at Ouyang Lin and says: “Thanks.”

Ouyang Lin smiles again.  Bo Jinyan appears at Anam, who saved quiet all these time.  Anam does not assume that it considerations him in any respect.  However since, Bo Jinyan is him, he pauses, then replies: “Prime 15% – 30%.  Not dangerous certainly.”

They’ve been working collectively for a while now.  They’re getting extra aware of one another.  Bo Jinyan simply smiles: “Ah, a rookie that has by no means been in love.”

Anam is puzzled: “What do you imply?”

Bo Jinyan has no endurance to show juniors.  He simply laughs in his coronary heart.

What a silly child.  He fails to know one easy reality.

There’s no rating relating to love.  She is his one and solely –  No.1.

The third individual they’re visiting is the male sufferer Yang Yu Zhe’s residence.

This younger architect lived alone in a well-designed and fashionable residence.  His brother is there to fulfill them.  

“Why did the pervert select Yu Zhe?” The brother speaks with reddened eyes. He’s aggrieved: “He will get on with everybody.  He has a shiny future in entrance of him…”

Jian Yao takes a take a look at the residence.  Like his brother stated, he’s an excellent individual.  He’s an award profitable architect, working in a probably the greatest companies on the town.  The novel he wrote in his spare time has gained many awards and is a greatest vendor.  Like Zhou Lin Po, his home is filled with trophies and awards.  

Bo Jinyan picks up his newest trophy.  It has the phrases ‘Winner of 2013 Hong KongGalaxy Writing Competitors engraved on it.  His brother explains: “That is the very best achievement he has obtained thus far.  He was certainly one of two individuals who received this award.  It is rather particular.  He was planning to surrender his architectural profession to change into a full-time author.”

Bo Jinyan picks up a pile of letters.  These are fan mails.  Seems like his novel could be very fashionable.  His viewers covers a big age group.  Bo Jinyan appears at Ouyang Lim.  Ouyang Lim nods and says: “We’ve checked out his followers.  There’s nobody that’s suspicious.” 

Jian Yao asks the brother: “Does he has a girlfriend?”

The brother shakes his head: “My brother spent all his time on work and his writing.  Now that he’s giving up his day job, he would have had extra time to discover a lady, and cool down.  He was looking to buy his personal residence.  However now…”

Everyone seems to be silent.  

The general impression they received from Yang Yu Zhe’s household and buddies is that he’s a excessive achiever with nice character.  He’s not from a rich household.  His mother and father died a couple of years in the past from sickness.  However he and his brother have had a snug and good life…. till a couple of days in the past.  

—————-

The final place to go to is their youngest sufferer – Li Kaixuan’s home. 

Nicely, to be right, his uncle and auntie’s home.    His mother and father died in a automotive accident final 12 months.

The kid’s dying introduced ache and grief to the household, however otherwise to the earlier households. When Jian Yao and the others arrive, his uncle (father’s elder brother) is manning his grocery store.  He appears drained.  His aunt is taking care of their two kids. 

“We really feel sorry for Kaixuan.” The auntie cries as she speaks: “However our work is busy and the store opens for lengthy hours.  We’re all the time exhausted.  We all know that he missed his mother and father, however he by no means stated something to us.  He often hid within the room when he got here again from college.  He was an obedient boy, and he did effectively at college.  If his mother and father have been nonetheless round, maybe he wouldn’t have met the killer, and he’ll be alright…”

She is so overcome with feelings she will’t proceed.  Jian Yao consoles her for some time, then she asks: “Can we take a look at his room please?”

“Sure, I’ll present you the place it’s.”

The Lee household home shouldn’t be massive.  There is no such thing as a further room for Kaixuan, and the cousins didn’t need to stay in the identical room with him.  so Kaixuan stays within the small loft.  

Li Kaixuan is a mature boy for his age.  The loft is neat and tidy.  All of the books are categorised into genres and stacked neatly.  He has a lot of superhero comics like Superman & Spiderman.   There are a variety of awards displayed on the wall:  2nd place in school, winner of writing competitors, historical past data contest winner and many others and many others 

To everybody’s shock, Bo Jinyan solely took one take a look at the room.  Then he walks to the doorway: “We will go now.”

The opposite three individuals are a bit of shocked.  Jian Yao rushes as much as him: “Why?”

Bo Jinyan appears at her: “I’ve seen what I wanted to see.  I’ve all of the clues now.”

Jian Yao asks unbelievably: “You will have labored out what his fantasy is?”

Bo Jinyan offers a assured smile.  The others look forward to him for a solution.

“Oh, I do know all the things.” He says: “His fantasy, his wishes, and his subsequent goal…”

The others are amazed.  He continues: “…and the way we will discover out his identify, id and what he appears like.”
