“Xie Han.  English identify – Jabber.  Born in California, US.  Age – 26.”  A Hong Kong officer is presenting the knowledge as a picture of a good-looking Asian man is projected onto the display: “His father was the Chairman of Tong Neng Company earlier than he handed away.   His private asset price is over 1 billion US {dollars}.  His mom was a biologist.  His dad and mom divorced when he was 4.  She gave up her custody rights.” 

Primarily based on Bo Jinyan’s interactions with No.1 final night time, and the deductions he made beforehand, the FBI and the Hong Kong have arrange a particular unit to work collectively on the case. And so they have discovered an individual that matches all the outline.

The officer continues: “Regardless that we’ve got a reputation, we’ve got issue issuing a warrant of arrest.  He disappeared in 2006.  All his private property have been moved abroad.  Since then, nobody has seen him.  We suspect that he has had cosmetic surgery achieved to him. Take a look at this.”

He reveals a unique picture on the display.  It’s a photograph taken throughout the 2013 HK Galaxy writers Award Ceremony.  The photograph of “Mei Yuanjun” suits the outline of the household that was kidnapped earlier, nevertheless it seems to be very completely different from Xie Han’s. 

“Consultants say there are just a few options on his face that appear like it’s pasted on.  For instance, his brows.  There is likely to be different options which were ‘camouflaged’ as properly.  However even simply by trying on the form of his face, it’s apparent that there are a selection of modifications to how he used to look. The potential of cosmetic surgery is extraordinarily excessive.”  

Ouyang Lin says: “So, despite the fact that we’ve got his identify, identification and even his DNA, we will’t discover him as a result of we nonetheless don’t know what he seems to be like.  And there’s a chance that he’s utilizing a brand new identify and a pretend identification.  We’re on the lookout for a needle in a haystack!”

Everyone seems to be quiet.  The staff chief take a look at Bo Jinyan: “Professor, do you might have any concepts?”

Bo Jinyan solutions faintly: “I agree with  Sergeant Ouyang’s views.  However he was pressured to abort his most present plan due to us.  He’ll want a while to organise one thing that’s extra advanced and merciless.  So we should seize time to test the highest 1% of the wealthy individuals in Hong Kong.  It’s a contest on velocity.  If we discover him shortly, we will cease the subsequent wave of murders.”

The solar warms the sheets on the mattress.  There’s a odor of disinfectant and medicine within the air.  The normally pungent scent brings peace to the minds of those that are there.  

Jian Yao is sitting on the aspect of the mattress.  She seems to be at Li Xunran.  He’s asleep in the meanwhile.  All his accidents are handled.  He’s nonetheless the good-looking officer she is aware of.  Simply that he has misplaced plenty of weight and his face is heartbreakingly pale.

She holds on to his hand.  

Bo Jinyan is sitting in a settee behind her.  He’s quietly accompanying his girlfriend.   Often, he’ll lookup on the man that’s mendacity in mattress.  Hmm… Li Xunran continues to be an annoying man.  However he’ll tolerate him for 2 causes. 1. He’s Jian Yao’s good good friend. 2.  He’s the one different individual (apart from himself) who survived after being imprisoned by the Flower Cannibal for an extended time period. 

Jian Yao can really feel Li Xunran’s fingers shifting. Then she sees his eyes slowly open.  

“Xunran….” She calls him softly. When Bo Jinyan hears that he’s awake, he stands up and stands beside Jian Yao.  

Li Xunran’s lips are nonetheless cracked from dehydration.  He provides a small smile: “Come on, pinch me… I have to know if it is a dream.”

Jian Yao’s eyes tear up.  She says softly: “You might be protected now.  Jinyan and I, and the Hong Kong Police Drive will defend you.”

Li Xunran seems to be at her.  Tears of pleasure swell up in his eyes.  He squeezes the hand that’s holding her.  They give the impression of being into one another’s eyes and snigger collectively.  

Then he lets go of her hand.  He turns to Bo Jinyan and says with a rough voice: “Thanks.” He reaches his hand out to Bo Jinyan.

He’s intelligent sufficient to know that he owes his fortunate escape to Bo Jinyan.  He’s actually grateful.  

Bo Jinyan reaches his arms out and shakes his hand: “You don’t must thank me.  You’re a fortunate man.” 

Li Xunran smiles.  Jian Yao takes a take a look at Bo Jinyan: “Sure, he is an effective individual, so the gods taken care of him. However you don’t must be so ‘humble’…. if it’s not for you…” She says it with admiration and love.

Oh…. Bo Jinyan’s lips curl right into a smile. 

That’s wonderful.  Her love for him is getting deeper and richer daily.

Li Xunran tells them briefly what occurred throughout the time he was kidnapped.  He went to the hospital for a test up after getting back from B Metropolis. The nurse gave him some aesthetics earlier than doing a little checks.  When he wakened once more, he was in a cell.  He didn’t even know when or how Xie Han did it.

Bo Jinyan asks: “Why didn’t he kill you?”  It doesn’t make sense that the only objective to seize him is to make use of him as a human bomb in Hong Kong.  Why did he undergo a lot bother?

Li Xunran smiles: “I bear in mind… throughout the killer machine case…  you mentioned… an organised psychopaths desires to seek out satisfaction and pleasure from torturing his victims…. So… I made positive I did all the things in opposition to his needs.  He wouldn’t get any satisfaction from me.”  

He didn’t eat.  He didn’t speak again.  He didn’t react to any of his provocations.  He simply pretended Xie Han was not round.

Jian Yao feels sorry for her good friend.  Bo Jinyan replies: “That’s a dumb transfer, however a minimum of it labored.” 

Jian Yao shortly pulls his sleeves to protest.  Bo Jinyan seems to be at her lengthy fairly fingers.  He decides to maintain quiet.  He provides her a small smile.  

Li Xunran observes them.  He smiles too.

Jian Yao and Bo Jinyan stayed till round 7pm.  Li Xunran watches them exit of the ward.  Then he closes his eye.  

He thinks for some time, then provides a giant sigh.  He has a smile on his face.

Thanks.  I’m very fortunate to have buddies such as you.

The darkish sky seems to be like a big black curtain wrapped across the earth.  Misty rain gently and quietly lands on the bottom.  

Jian Yao’s imaginative and prescient is blurred.  She is standing within the fog, she sees a person standing within the distance.  A tall man with a good-looking face, lean and lengthy physique.  A well-known man.

Jinyan…. Jinyan…. 

She steps into the rain and walks in direction of him.  However he turns round and runs in a unique course and disappears within the darkness.  Then she hears a loud explosion.   She sees fireplace and smoke coming from the world Bo Jinyan is in.  

The hearth engulfed him.  It’s going to engulf me too.  She thought.   

Jinyan— She used all her power, however no sound is popping out of her mouth.

Jinyan— tears stuffed her eyes.  All of a sudden she begins to fall… right into a bottomless pit.

……

“uh….” 

Jian Yao opens her eyes.  She is sitting on the armchair within the resort.  Exterior, the rain is falling. She will be able to hear the sound of the raindrops brushing the window. There’s a blanket  overlaying her physique, and a ebook on her lap.    

She fell asleep.  

She will get up and walks to the lavatory.  After splashing some water over her face, she seems to be into the mirror.  It’s a dream.  Solely a dream.  But, she feels unhappy, and afraid. The dream solely reveals the worry she has in her coronary heart.  The worry that got here to her when Bo Jinyan walked in direction of  the bomb yesterday.  

She seems to be at her watch.  it’s 9pm.  Jian Yao is carrying a nightgown. It’s getting a bit chilly.  She grabs a scarf to wrap round her physique.  Then she walks into the research.  Bo Jinyan is standing in entrance of a white board.  Quiet and centered. 

There’s a map of the California US on the white board.  There are markings on numerous areas.  He’s reviewing the outdated Flower Cannibal case.  Jian Yao walks as much as him.  As she is about to hug him, the cellphone rings.  

Bo Jinyan turns round to choose up the decision.  He sees Jian Yao.  He provides her a smile, then he says hi there to the caller.  

Jian Yao walks over to face beside him.  

It’s Yin Ziqi on the cellphone.  She’s arrived in Hong Kong for some time now.  However Bo Jinyan has been too busy to contact her.

Bo Jinyan frowns: “…. there’s no signal of him.  Effectively… there’s a good probability that he’s nonetheless alive like Li Xunran.  It will likely be simpler for me in case you aren’t round.  Return to China…” he pauses for some time: “…as much as you. Care for your self…. After all… I will probably be cautious.”

Jian Yao listens quietly.  She wraps her arms round his waist, and rests her head in his chest.  His regular and robust heartbeat has a soothing impact on her.  

“Okay.  I get the sign.” A low magnetic voice speaks. 

Jian Yao seems to be up.  He’s trying down at her.  Their faces are simply inches aside.  He’s completed his dialog along with his sister.  Bo Jinyan stares at her.  

Jian Yao blushes.  She lets go of him and says softly: “What sign?  I didn’t offer you any alerts.”

“Are you positive?”  He bents his head down a bit of extra.  His masculine scent shifting nearer in direction of her.  “Don’t you need me?” 

Jian Yao’s face is vivid crimson. How is she presupposed to reply him? 

She refuses to provide a solution.  As an alternative, she turns round and walks out of the room.  Nevertheless, Bo Jinyan has recognized her lengthy sufficient to know that, for ladies – silence means sure – beneath these circumstances.  He smiles and follows her out of the room.

However there are others on the market who can’t sleep.  The night time is lengthy. 

Yin Ziqi is mendacity alone on a King dimension mattress.  She’s been tossing round, unable to sleep for hours.  

She sits up, and appears on the spacious and opulently adorned room.   Disappointment comes over her.

All of the lights instantly go off.  Yin Ziqi seems to be on the darkness round her. 

This villa has its personal generator.  Even when there’s an influence outage within the space, this home shouldn’t be affected.  She frowns and calls the maid: “Zhang Ma!  Zhang Ma!”

No person solutions.

She begins to really feel a bit of uncomfortable.  Simply as she will get up from the couch, she hears footsteps from the stairways.
