Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 86 Professor

Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Professor

Ye City Medical University.

The police car stopped smoothly by the roadside. Bai Yanliang and Gao Fei got out first, while Lin Wan went to find a parking spot.

"Ding..."

Bai Yanliang’s phone chimed with a message notification. He opened it to find that Yang Wanlong had sent over the photos.

However, before he could take a closer look, a young woman with a light-colored purse walked over, stopping at a distance of two meters.

She wore a gray and white dress, topped with a knitted cardigan, and gray and white high heels on her feet. A pair of dark sunglasses rested on her nose.

Bai Yanliang and Gao Fei both turned their heads to look at each other, the question was obvious: Is she your friend?

At this moment, the woman removed her sunglasses, finally revealing her full appearance. Unlike Yu Sheng, she belonged to the type that was stunning at first glance.

But it seemed to catch her off guard that neither Bai Yanliang nor Gao Fei showed any reaction to her beauty.

The woman walked up to Bai Yanliang and extended her hand, "Hello, I’m Yang Zhirong."

"Uh..." Bai Yanliang was rarely surprised at the first meeting, but... this medical university student was indeed different from what he had imagined.

Unlike Yang Yiyi, her just-below-the-ear short hair made her look capable, and her delicate makeup gave her a cold and stunning aura. However, the curiosity in her eyes somewhat diminished the coldness.

"Hello, Uncle Yang asked me to come and see you," Bai Yanliang said frankly.

Yang Zhirong casually glanced at Bai Yanliang’s eyes and said, "I know, he gave me a call."

It seems that Yang Wanlong also intended for Yang Zhirong to lead them.

In fact, considering Yang Zhirong’s character, she wasn’t inclined to deal with such matters for Yang Wanlong.

But recently, Yang Yiyi had frequently mentioned a person named Bai Yanliang in her calls, which piqued her interest.

That’s why she waited at the school gate in advance.

After this initial meeting, Yang Zhirong formed some impressions of Bai Yanliang and fell silent.

Bai Yanliang wasn’t a talkative person either, so the two just stood there face to face.

Neither of them minded, but it was torturous for Gao Fei, as the awkward atmosphere nearly suffocated him. At that moment, Gao Fei desperately wished Lin Wan would hurry over.

Perhaps Lin Wan heard Gao Fei’s silent plea, as she parked the car quickly.

After the two women exchanged friendly greetings, they finally set off.

Yang Zhirong walked in front, the sound of her high heels striking the floor in a rhythmic pattern.

Ye City Medical University was not small. As they walked along, Gao Fei remarked, "The medical university has changed a lot. That building wasn’t even finished when I graduated..."

He was referring to a laboratory building just off the main road.

Yang Zhirong glanced at Gao Fei upon hearing this and said, "The old lab building has been abandoned, so the school expedited the construction process, and now we’re using this new lab building."

Gao Fei nodded, looking around with a sense of nostalgia.

The four of them walked along the tree-lined avenue, where the branches reached toward the center. The not-very-warm sunlight cast dappled shadows on the road, with green and yellow leaves occasionally falling on their shoulders before sliding to the ground.

The university campus was quiet during the holiday, with a few passing students, all holding books and moving hurriedly, not even glancing at Bai Yanliang and the others as they gradually disappeared into the distance.

Soon, they arrived at the front of the teaching building.

Led by Yang Zhirong, they knocked on the door of the administrative office.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Come in."

A gentle male voice sounded from inside the office.

Yang Zhirong opened the office door, signaling the three of them to enter.

Inside the office, there was only one person, a man with a cup of coffee on the desk, looking down at the materials in front of him.

Although aware of the visitors, he didn’t immediately raise his head, instead finishing the last bit of his work before looking up to greet them.

"Please have a seat, is there something I can help with?"

"Professor Ren, these are the officers from Jiangbei District."

"Oh?"

The man, whom Yang Zhirong called Professor Ren, looked at Bai Yanliang and the others in surprise.

Bai Yanliang happened to be looking at him as well.

Despite his young appearance, his presence was low-key, reminiscent of Yu Hanzhou, yet more understated. He was handsome, tall, and well-proportioned. As he stood to welcome them, his tailored gray suit became visible. His gaze was warm and polite, giving off a calm and reserved impression.

As Bai Yanliang met his gaze, they both exchanged smiles.

A sudden warning arose in Bai Yanliang’s mind, though his opponent’s gaze was gentle... it conveyed an intense penetrating sensation, as if it could see through him entirely, leaving Bai Yanliang uncomfortable.

Unknown to him, Ren Wudao felt the same.

Ren Wudao couldn’t discern any emotion from Bai Yanliang’s eyes; the man appeared as if he had no soul, a breathing corpse.

Ren Wudao was a doctor, a very skilled one, trusting his own instincts.

Yet... why did a living person seem like a corpse to him?

Ren Wudao was a bit unsettled by it.

Fortunately, the strange feeling quickly passed as Lin Wan soon explained their purpose.

She was surprised by Ren Wudao’s youthful appearance; such a young medical professor?

"Professor Ren, may I ask... do you have records of students returning to campus early?"

Ren Wudao nodded and confirmed, "Yes, I’m responsible for the administrative office this year."

He then sat down, opened a drawer, and began to search carefully.

Bai Yanliang observed his drawer-opening hand; it was long, strong, and fair, with neatly trimmed short nails. A light callus marked the first joint of his middle finger—indicating frequent writing, not smoking, as there was no callus at the palm-wrist connection—indicating infrequent computer use.

Yet... his coffee cup was placed on the left, his watch was on the left, and his black document bag was also on the left.

When entering, he had been holding a document, also with his left hand.

A peculiar person—equally coordinated with both left and right hands.

Bai Yanliang drew this conclusion.

Suddenly, Ren Wudao seemed to sense Bai Yanliang’s gaze, lifting his head to smile at him.

Bai Yanliang returned the smile, but his eyes remained without humor.

"Found it, here it is." Ren Wudao retrieved a document from the drawer and handed it to Lin Wan.

"The students who return early for school will sign in at the dormitory office, and then the dorm staff will send the attendance list to me."

Lin Wan glanced up and down at the document.

"Three hundred and ninety-one? That’s a lot!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Fei also leaned in for a look, "Students these days are getting more and more diligent."

"May I ask if something happened, officers?" Ren Wudao looked at them, perplexed.

Lin Wan hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth, as it wasn’t something they could hide.

"A female student from your university has been murdered, and her head... was cut off and taken away."
