Pure Darkness

Chapter 99

When Jian Yao woke up, she saw the skinny face of the person beside her.

Oi! I am an article!

It was dawn, and the world outside the window seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist. This was a small town in Yunnan, the midpoint of their journey. At this moment of calmness, he reached out to touch his sleeping face.

Several years had passed in the blink of an eye. He didn't seem to have changed at all, it was just that he was a little thinner. Seeing the deep sleeping face of the person beside him, a memory came to him about Mr. Bo whose outward appearance was cold and arrogant, but warm inside, standing in a villa in the mountains. . . his heart hurts a little.

Oi! I am an article!

His fingers moved along his face: the bulge of his eyebrows, the base of his nose, his cheekbones, his chin. With his eyes closed, he said, “You are still the same, expert in teasing and provoking.”

Jian Yao did not say anything, but laughed regardless of herself. She pulls his hand, only to ask him to grab her and take her to his lips for a kiss. After a while, he touched her cheek and said with a sigh, “Your weight is down, but this is fat.” Jian Yao laughed but did not speak. He tucked his hand under the blanket and stroked her body. When he reached his stomach, he also let out a small sigh and said, “Oh, no, the muscles you developed are also gone.”

Bo Jinyan paused for a moment before saying, “When we return, my first priority is to recover my fitness.” Jian Yao smiled and placed her hand on her own stomach, saying, “On the other hand, I have muscles now.” Before, his stomach was always soft. Now, Bo Jinyan touched a smooth and gentle line. He clicked his tongue and continued to fumble around while exclaiming in admiration, until Jian Yao's face lit up.

So on this morning, with the war at hand, the two of them, husband and wife, both smart and tenacious detectives, were relaxing in bed, touching each other, holding hands, holding hands, talk casually, for a long time.

Oi! I am an article!

Now it's really bright.

Jian Yao finished washing and walked into the living room, clean and tidy. Bo Jinyan stood beside the pile of files, looking pensive. Jian Yao went straight to the point as she asked, “What are your plans?”

Bo Jinyan looked over. Under his sunglasses, his face was as cold as jade.

A very detailed map was slowly displayed in front of them.

Bo Jinyan said, “After the attack on the Special Case Unit, the police are constantly unable to track down the gang of masked killers. Now, about eight months later, the energy and effort used to track the clues is gradually diminishing. At the very least, on the surface, it seems that this effort has lost its urgency. Moreover, in the outer eyes, ‘Bo Jinyan’ was unable to recover from this setback, and its existence was unknown. The cases I helped in Xun City have top-level confidentiality. Only Shao Yong and a few others knew my true identity; moreover, they were completely trustworthy, and would not leak information to anyone who did not know of it.”

Jian Yao nodded. So, this was one of the starting points of his plan? Everyone thought that the genius Bo Jinyan had fallen from grace and was unable to bear the double blow of losing sight and her closest friend. He also did not return to Beijing's Great Crime Division or to his side. However, in reality, he had already returned to this battlefield with his cane and sunglasses.

Moreover, he had recovered very well.

Jian Yao suddenly recalled what Fang Qing had said to her the day they reunited with Bo Jinyan. He said, even though Bo Jinyan was blind, she stayed on the front lines while solving the case. This is something that even the toughest criminal investigators have found difficult to achieve. Bo Jinyan was more manly than most.

Jian Yao was surprised. “What is it?”

Bo Jinyan felt among the files for a while before she extracted them and gave them to her. Jian Yao hurriedly read a glance, and was fixated.

This is the case at the China-Myanmar border. To be exact, it happened abroad. A group of thugs had killed another group of thugs; more than 10 people had died. Jian Yao noticed that seven of them had been decapitated, and forensic investigators had identified the murder weapon as an axe.

“Over the past year, An Yan quietly followed up on all the clues related to the masked killer case,” Bo Jinyan said. “She obtained specimen DNA data from this case and determined that the axe the killer used still contained DNA remnants from the victim in the masked killer case in the US 10 years ago.” *

*T/NI thinks what this means is that the masked killer used the same weapon (and obviously hasn't been properly cleaned, ugh), he said, both in the U. S. 10 years ago and more recently in the killing of thugs at the China-Mynamar border. How did he bring an axe from the US to China? hmmmm

Jian Yao said, “It means say. .”

Bo Jinyan's lips curved into a small, mocking smile. “What else does that mean? What better hiding place than to hide the water in the water? The masked killer hides himself in a criminal gang and continues to kill, but uses other methods. As a result, the police could never find him. Who would have thought that he would infiltrate a criminal organization at the border? This noble serial killer gets along with common criminals, and moreover, enjoys it. I think, in his eyes, these criminals are nothing more than toys. Of course, this arrangement was also very clever. Since he is at the border, he can break away at any time and escape from China.”

Jian Yao asked, “Then. . . why didn't he leave China at all?”

Bo Jinyan was silent for a while, then said, “He defeated the greatest criminal psychologist in the country, and all the efforts the police made to arrest him were in vain. If I were her. . . yeah, I would be reluctant to go.”

Jian Yao was silent for a moment before saying, “He didn't beat you. You are very intelligent, very open and generous, and he used me and Fu Ziyu to hurt you. How can this be called conquering you?”

Bo Jinyan suddenly smiled as she said, “Jian Yao, never fair between light and dark. Light is everywhere we can see, but darkness can reach depths beyond the reach of light. But what you said is true. No one can beat me. Since they call me Simon King, in this life, I must be the King Simon they fear.”

These words were spoken in a very calm tone. Clearly, this was what he really thought, without any fancy prose. He felt a stream of heat in his chest. As he looked at her face, he wanted to say something, but finally stopped and just held her hand. He said, “All right, all right. I'll wait when you think it's the right time to tell me more about your plan. I'm not going to ask any more questions or second-guess, because I know that your plan is undoubtedly the best plan. You have your comprehensive plan, and I won't interfere with any of it. I'll just follow you and protect you. Then, he laughed briefly and said, “You are the smartest, most steady, and most shrewd man I have ever met. Whatever happens, I won't be mad at you. I'll just trust you.”

Bo Jinyan muttered, “I. .” Unexpectedly, his face flushed. After a short pause, he replied gently, “Oke.”

Jian Yao was just about to continue asking his case, as she pulled him towards her and into his arms in one swift motion and began to kiss him. She kissed him so hot that her fingers were intertwined in his black hair and he made a soft humming sound before he finally let go.

“Then, why are we visiting that border city at this time? Why do you have to go in private? ” Jian Yao asked.

Bo Jinyan said, “The gang where she hid is called ‘Hand Buddha’. They are very secretive, and until now police have been unable to gather evidence of their crimes or find their hiding places. However, the captain of the criminal investigation team there, Zhu Tao, recently obtained detailed documents containing important clues about this criminal gang. Through the coordination and communication of the higher-ups, I have already made an appointment with him. He will personally hand over the document to me, and we will talk in depth.”
