Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 92 Record

Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Record

"Can we check Fu Yunqing’s hotel records now?" Bai Yanliang suddenly asked.

"What?"

Lin Wan looked at Bai Yanliang in confusion, not knowing his intention.

"What are you standing there for, hurry up!"

Yang Wanlong really trusted Bai Yanliang’s mind, so... although he often didn’t understand, he had a good habit of doing first and then talking.

Although Lin Wan’s family had a background, Yang Wanlong, who was driven to distraction by this case, couldn’t care less about her identity; he didn’t kick her only because she was a girl.

Ren Wudao glanced at Bai Yanliang, understanding his intent. He had actually thought of this possibility too, but... as soon as he thought of Fu Yunqing’s simple smile while gifting him hometown specialties, he couldn’t bring himself to associate those suspicions with her.

However, reality always tends to defy wishes.

Lin Wan returned quickly; checking hotel records was a simple task for the police. All major inns and hotels used ID cards for check-ins, and each check-in would result in a record being uploaded to the police station.

Lin Wan’s expression was a bit strange when she came back, and she brought several sheets of A4 paper, with Fu Yunqing’s hotel records completely printed on them.

"This...this much?" Gao Fei widened his eyes as he carefully counted them; Fu Yunqing’s hotel records filled four entire pages!

"Oh my God... she basically checked in every three days, and this lasted... her entire university life!"

These records passed through everyone’s hands, finally landing in Ren Wudao’s hand.

His fingers were pinched a bit white; he was a rational person, although he already suspected earlier... that Fu Yunqing was not as pure as she appeared on the surface, he still didn’t want to speculate maliciously about her affairs.

However, the facts were lying right there.

"Sea Sky Hotel, Jiangkou Hotel, Binfen Hotel, Yunhua Hotel, Fu Yunqing’s check-in records were almost all at these four places," Gao Fei said.

Bai Yanliang glanced at him and said, "You got something wrong earlier, Fu Yunqing didn’t almost check-in every three days, after all, the ID used for check-in was occasionally that of her male companion."

Gao Fei was utterly speechless by now.

Although Fu Yunqing’s head was missing, her photo was imprinted on the case file.

She was a very simple-looking girl, her eyes weren’t very large but bright, not very pretty, but with a sweet smile.

"Gao Fei, Lin Wan, you two take some people to the Sea Sky Hotel and Jiangkou Hotel, I’ll personally go to the Binfen Hotel and Yunhua Hotel!" Yang Wanlong slapped the table and stood up, "Must find the man who was dating Fu Yunqing!"

"There might be more than one..."

Bai Yanliang reminded him.

Yang Wanlong was full of vigor, seeing the clues about to run dry, Bai Yanliang found a new lead. He didn’t clearly hear what Bai Yanliang said and hurriedly left the meeting room.

Director Liang opened his mouth but said nothing in the end and waved at everyone: "Meeting adjourned."

Gao Fei leaned over to Bai Yanliang’s ear and whispered, "Captain Yang has solved so many cases over the years, there’s a reason he’s still a captain..."

Bai Yanliang gave him a look and said, "I think it’s quite good..."

Ren Wudao also stood up, following Bai Yanliang out.

Gao Fei was stunned in place and asked Lin Wan beside him, "Did you feel he was mocking me just now?"

Lin Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "That’s what you call mocking."

...

The meeting seemed short, but it was close to noon when they came out, and all the media gathered at the police station entrance in the morning were also asked to leave.

Yang Wanlong, with a few officers, hurried past Bai Yanliang, muttering, "Damn, they need people everywhere... but they won’t give us any while demanding the case be solved quickly..."

"Uncle Yang."

Bai Yanliang greeted him.

Only then did Yang Wanlong see Bai Yanliang. He suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing, "Really stupid, my brain didn’t work, I’m still looking everywhere for police, totally forgot that you and Professor Ren are also involved in this case now."

"Yanliang, like this, you and Professor Ren go to the Binfen Hotel. I’m really busy here, and the media is coming to stir trouble again in the afternoon, I have to deal with them."

Bai Yanliang thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Yang, let Professor Ren and me go to the Yunhua Hotel. I’m just going to meet a friend on Yunhua Road tonight."

Standing behind Bai Yanliang, Ren Wudao glanced at him and then looked aside.

He had already called Yu Sheng last night to probe, but Yu Sheng didn’t want to say anything, always answering that he didn’t know.

Ren Wudao was both angry and hurt; his sibling, who grew up with him, had learned to conceal things from him. Yesterday, he heard her voice over Bai Yanliang’s call firsthand.

No matter what, Ren Wudao wasn’t letting Bai Yanliang act alone today.

Now hearing Bai Yanliang and Yang Wanlong’s conversation, Ren Wudao also said, "I also have matters on Yunhua Road, Captain Yang, leave Yunhua Hotel to us."

Since both of them said so, Yang Wanlong naturally agreed.

"Tang Guo, today you follow Advisor Bai and Advisor Ren, and listen to their instructions, okay?"

"Will do, Captain!"

A round-faced policewoman emerged from behind Yang Wanlong and saluted earnestly in response.

Yang Wanlong leaned closer to Bai Yanliang and Ren Wudao, speaking in a low voice, "She’s a new girl, a bit silly but obedient, you two help look after her a bit."

Bai Yanliang nodded, glancing at Tang Guo, the little girl stood there upright, looking visibly nervous.

Actually... Bai Yanliang was about the same age, but he always wore a calm expression, making him appear much more mature than his peers.

"Then... let’s go."

Bai Yanliang said to Tang Guo.

"Yes!" Tang Guo suddenly saluted, startling Ren Wudao, who was lost in thought.

Bai Yanliang chuckled, not bad at all.

...

Bringing Tang Guo not only made showing credentials for investigations convenient but also meant having a driver, a tagalong attendant always ready.

For instance, right now, Tang Guo was driving.

Ren Wudao was contemplating the details of the case, while Bai Yanliang was on his phone.

Of course... playing on his phone was purely Tang Guo’s personal perspective.

In fact, Bai Yanliang was replying to a message from Li Mu.

Due to being utterly unaccustomed to inputting on a phone, Bai Yanliang’s replies were perpetually slow to an absurd degree.

"Mr. Bai, add this number."

"What’s this?"

"A... more private chat room."

"What’s that?"

"Feng Xiuxue mentioned this to Mr. Bai, right? We... there’ve been investigations into the matter of the ’ghost’ in reality."

"Hmm."

"Everyone in this chat room has personally investigated, seen firsthand, or even encountered... the ghost."

"Ding dong—"

Bai Yanliang joined the chat room.

Unlike the large group in Fog Gathering with dozens of people, this so-called private chat room by Li Mu had only six members: Li Mu, Feng Xiuxue, Yu Wenxuan, Gu Pingsheng, Song Que, Xu Zhifei.

Now, there was another member in this chat room of merely six, Bai Yanliang.
