Love Me if You Dare: Pristine Darkness

Chapter 5.2

Professor Bo, do you think the murderer is a man or a woman? Fang Qing suddenly asked.

Everyone became astonished. Even Jian Yao looked up. Was it a woman? She had never thought of this possibility.

However, Bo Jinyan gazed at Fang Qing and revealed a smile, Oh, thats a good question. Is he a male or a female? As of now, in this case, there has been nothing that has distinguished him to be either a male or female. However, I think he is a medium built man or a female with sufficient strength.

When the meeting ended, Bo Jinyan left with Jian Yao. The only people left were Fang Qing and a few of his colleagues, and they began to ponder Bo Jinyans speculations in the office.

Leader, someone asked, should we find the suspect based on what this professor has profiled?

Fang Qing smoked his cigarette and said, Going uphill is never easy. The boss wants us to crack the case in a week. Right now, twenty-four hours have already passed. We have to urge the Forensics Identification Bureau to give us the murder weapon and the analysis of the traces from the crime scene as soon as possible. As we continue to find the murder weapon, and monitor the scene, we cannot relax. Then, we should go off on what Professor Bo told us, and go through the people we have investigated before again.

Leader, we have never completely depended on criminal psychology to crack a case. What if we cant find the suspect based on what he has told us?

Fang Qing laughed and said, Cant find him? Then well just take it as him farting in our face.

Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao returned to the Yao familys inn. They stayed in a room on the second floor. The moment they entered the room, Bo Jinyan embraced Jian Yao in a hug.

Dont randomly hug me. Jian Yao resisted, You havent even washed your hands, and you just went to the crime scene, right?

Bo Jinyan did not let go, and softly whispered in her ear, Sh be quiet. Dont let the murderer hear you.

Jian Yao was startled.

Fu Wei lived in the Yaos inn. The murderer clearly knew of his whereabouts. Thus, the murderer is also perhaps in this inn.

Jian Yao was taken aback. Then why didnt you say it sooner and come back with me?!

Bo Jinyan let go of her, and laid down lazily on the bed. Am I supposed to evade the suspect too?

Jian Yao:

Not this logic again.

All right, she had calmed down.Wasnt this just the suspect of their current murder case? She walked over and lightly kicked his leg, Hey, go to the bathroom and change your shoes and clothes. Then you can lie down.

Bo Jinyan obediently stood up and walked to the door. He hung up his suit and stooped down to change into his slippers. Finally, he went to the sink and washed his face and hands.

Just like what he did at home.

The sun was almost up. They pulled the curtains together and locked the door. Their only source of light was a gentle old  lamp placed at the end of the bed. By doing so, they had created a safe and intimate small space where they only had each other. As Bo Jinyan deeply entered her, Jian Yao could feel that he was being more passionate than usual. Then, she pressed her hands onto his chest, allowing him to lean on her in the midst of his powerlessness. She did so as he lowered his head to shower her face and body with his kisses. Actually, Jian Yao had never talked to Bo Jinyan about how much of an impact these types of actions had on her heart and this had nothing to do with its nature. She was touched because whenever he did these types of small gestures, she could always feel the sincerity and the affection behind every minute detail.

If every kiss that you receive from your man held a touch of sincerity, then he really does love you dearly.

After seeing the matter to its conclusion, Bo Jinyan inquired of the feelings of the other party as usual. Were you satisfied? Did it feel better than last time?

Jian Yao gazed back at him in the unclear light. Her eyes seemed like stars that reflected warmth as she said, Jinyan, I think that your manliness has reached its peak in this very moment.

Bo Jinyan thought about it for a brief moment and surprisingly responded with a laugh, Are you praising me, or scolding me?

Jian Yao was startled, but soon realized what he meant. He was asking whether or not his behavior was commendable? This rascal. He had developed a bit of EQ lately ah.

The pair slept until the afternoon. They did not need to worry about the case. Whenever an action is being made, there will definitely be a reaction to counter it. Thus, in the evening, the couple took a stroll around the ancient city, eventually returning to the inn after dining on some of the local specialties.

The evening was still early when the lanterns were first lit. The couple stood in the hallway of the second floor, observing the scene below in silence. From there, they could see the faraway ancient wall, and also the lights by the riverbank. The scenery was extremely quiet and warm. This was also exactly the kind of atmosphere Jian Yao had expected to experience in her travels if a cruel murder case hadnt happened, it would have all been even more perfect.

That seems to be the courtyard leading to the living quarters for the boss of the inn lives. Jian Yao was pointing outside of the inn, to a nearby courtyard. Actually, the courtyard she spoke of and the courtyard they were currently residing in were connected. The other one was smaller, but the trees there were just as dense as the trees here. The small four sectioned courtyard house with two little floors was extremely bright, as all the rooms were lit.

Ive heard that the entire family lives there the boss, the bosss wife, her sister, their cousins too Jian Yao sighed, Living in such an old building like that should be quite the pleasant experience. Their family isnt separated. They have stand-alone courtyards, with gray roof tiles, white walls, green trees, and an old well this slow rhythm of life and the calm way of living must be nice.

Bo Jinyan looked at her. I had figured that you would like this type of house. In the future, well He stopped midsentence, giving Jian Yao a slight surprise.

Because in the courtyard across from them, the lights in the rooms that had been lit suddenly all went off like it had been planned. Everything around them immediately went silent and dark. The only thing moving was a shadow of the lone tree in the courtyard that was slightly moving under the moonlight.

Bo Jinyan furrowed his brows.

Jian Yao asked, What is it?

Nothing. He replied.
