Chapter 15 The Numbers Killer - 1.3.5

After exiting the graduate hall, the two decided to check out the crime again and headed towards the Psychology Department Building.

"Xiao Zhan1!"

Someone suddenly called out from behind, causing both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to turn their head around at the same time. Only to be greeted by a bespectacled middle-aged man in a white coat who looked to be in his forties. He hastened his pace to catch up to them.

"Doctor Xu?" Zhan Zhao recognised that the man was Doctor Xu Ting, the resident doctor of C University.

After running up to them, Xu Ting eyeballed Bai Yutang who was standing beside Zhan Zhao for a while before asking with a smile, "Is that him?"

Zhan Zhao returned with an awkward smile. He knew this Doctor Xú loved gossiping, but he really wasn't in the mood to care about such trivial matters right now. However, Xu Ting didn't seem to notice the change in Zhan Zhao's expression and continued smiling as he said, "When Dr. Zhang brought that old man Xû2 to the infirmary. Goodness, that old man was so angry his whole body was shaking as he panted heavily."

"Is Professor Xu alright?!" Zhan Zhao asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, he's fine, he just perspired a lot.  I've never seen the old man so infuriated in the 20 years that I've worked here!"

Hearing that, Bai Yutang smiled cheekily while sending Zhan Zhao a look that meant, "So that old man didn't die. Lucky for him!"

To which Zhan Zhao returned with a glare at him.

Xu Ting wanted to go on, but the two had no patience to listen to his ramblings. They excused themselves by saying they had other things to attend to and escaped.

They soon arrived at the Psychology Department Building.
When Zhan Zhao tried to look up to the rooftop from the ground, the brightness of the sun hindered him from doing so. And he could barely make out the fences outside.

"Xiao Bai, aren't you a little too outrageous? How did you see that so clearly from here?"

Bai Yutang replied proudly, "This is nothing. This young master's3 dynamic vision ranks first in the entire air force! I can even see it if missiles were to come flying at us, much less these fences!"

When Zhan Zhao glanced over at Bai Yutang, the latter was so proud of himself, Zhan Zhao could almost see his tail shooting up.

Zhan Zhao borrowed a pair of binoculars from another police officer and carefully observed the rooftop. After a while, he put the binoculars down and remarked with a frown, "Something is not right!"

"What's wrong? What did you find?" Bai Yutang took the binoculars from him and observed for himself as well.

"Have you noticed that the direction of the protective fence is in the wrong direction?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang put the binoculars away before looking to Zhan Zhao, "Now that you mention it, yeah! If Li Feifan fell from leaning against an already damaged fence, then the fence should be facing outwards. Even if Li Feifan managed to grab on the fence before he fell, it should flip outwards and then bend downwards. But in this case..."

"That's right!" Zhan Zhao continued, "This fence is almost bent vertically downwards, but there's no sign of it flipping outwards at all!"

"Kitty, I have an idea," Bai Yutang suddenly declared.

As he said that, Zhan Zhao stated as well, "What a coincidence. I have one too!"

The two of them smiled at each other in understanding before walking into the building.
