Chapter 14

Soon, several police cars arrived in front of C University's Psychology Department Building. Gongsun and the others hurriedly got off the car. The police quickly cordoned off the area around the body with yellow tape as the school security tried to disperse the onlookers. The crime scene was contained in an orderly manner. The campus, however, was still in an uproar.

For a model student like Li Feifan to fall to his death before the student population, it'd be difficult for the university to try and shirk off responsibility. In addition, with the on-site investigations concluding that it was a homicide, it put the entire school on edge.

The school immediately issued a suspension of class for the day, to cooperate with police investigations.

The S.C.I. team separated out into various groups and got to work. Wang Chao brought some technicians up to the rooftop to take some samples. While Zhang Long went with Xu Qing to question some of Li Feifan's classmates. Ma Han went to Li Feifan's dorm room while Gongsun and Zhao Hu conducted on-site autopsy and questioned witnesses respectively.

Meanwhile, Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao to the side, into the S.C.I. fieldwork RV, and sat down face to face.

"What?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang who looked all serious.

"Do you feel better?"

"I was fine from the start," Zhan Zhao turned away and muttered.

"Then what's your relationship with Li Feifan?" Bai Yutang asked cheekily.

"What did you say?!" Zhan Zhao sprung right up.

"Can you not get so agitated first?" Bai Yutang hurriedly reached out to pull Zhan Zhao back down onto the seat, "I'm asking you how much do you know about him? Was there anything special to note, or did he tell you anything?"

Zhan Zhao furrowed his brows in concentration and recalled, "There's nothing in particular. All I know is that he's good at his studies, attends all my lectures and often asks me some questions."

"What kind of questions?""It's nothing special, just academic stuff…"

"Do you know when this photo was taken?" Bai Yutang held up the phone and asked.

Zhan Zhao shook his head in frustration, "I have no idea at all."

"What about these numbers: 1, 3, 5?"

Zhan Zhao sigh aloud, "I don't understand what they mean."

Bai Yutang sighed as well, "Hear me out Kitty, this boy jumped off a building holding his phone with your photo. It's like he killed himself for love."

Hearing these words, Zhan Zhao's eyes rounded in anger, "White mouse! This is no time to be joking around!"

"Keke…"

Bai Yutang reached out to rubbed between Zhan Zhao's brows and said, "I was trying to get you to relax, don't be so tensed."

In return, Zhan Zhan rolled his eyes at him and leaned into the backrest of the seat, "I really have don't have a single clue this time… But I feel like he was trying to tell me something…"

Didididi…

All of a sudden, Bai Yutang's phone rang. When he picked up, it was Ma Han on the line.

"Leader, we found some things in Li Feifan's room. You have to see this.""What did you find?"

Bai Yutang could hear the anxiousness in Ma Han's voice.

"…I can't explain it clearly, you'll know when you see it. Ah right, bring Dr. Zhan along as well."

After the call ended, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao headed down as fast as they could.

Li Feifan lived in the graduate hall on the east campus. Due to his excellent results, the school rewarded him with a more luxurious single room. This was a newly constructed building, complete with facilities and pretty decent decor. Li Feifan lived on the 3rd floor, the first room in the east wing, Room 301.

Walking into his room, the first impression one would get was it was extremely clean. Although there were several officers collecting evidence in the room, the bright windows, spotless floor, neatly arranged bookshelf. It was so clean and tidy one might think it was a hotel room and not dorm room of a young, single male student.(lilies: I don't think hotel are that clean tho… hotels feel like planes to me. Only looks clean on the surface)

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao walked into the bedroom to find Ma Han crouched down by the bedside. There were a dozen or so thick photo albums by the bed. Seeing the two of them enter, Ma Han got up with an intricate paper box still in hand.

"Have a look at these first," Ma Han said as he passed those albums to Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao.

The two doubtfully opened an album to have a look and was dumbfounded by the sight. The album was filled with photos of Zhan Zhao, each one marked with a date. There was basically one for every day and the 10 over books totalled to over 1000 photos. The time stamps went all the way back to a year ago.

Bai Yutang closed the album aside after flipping through a few pages and cursed, "F*ck, this psychopath."

"Why do you think he went to the rooftop by himself?" Zhan Zhao suddenly turned to Bai Yutang and asked.

……

Bai Yutang fell silent.

Zhan Zhao smiled bitterly, "He died for me."
