Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At a window table in the Western food restaurant, a lady and a man, who looked like college students, sat opposite each other. They were enjoying a good al, while talking and laughing.
Zhao Yu recognized the girl as the daughter of his third oldest uncle. That was to say, she was his younger cousin.
Although they were not close, her family sotis ca over to Zhao Yu’s to visit, and during one of those visits, Zhao Yu had heard that she went to school in the Jinyuan Province. But, he didn’t know that she was in Beiqian as well.
When he saw this distant cousin, Zhao Yu’s disappointnt was obvious. This was because he had opened the Xun Dui hexagram today, in which the Xun represented family. Now that he had seen his cousin, it ant that today’s side adventure was not related to the case!
Although he was disappointed, in order to confirm that his guess was correct, Zhao Yu wheeled his wheelchair forward and said hello to his cousin. His cousin recognized him imdiately and was surprised and delighted to see him.
Then, they had a chat about their family mbers and recent news. The cousin introduced the young man to Zhao Yu, saying that the young man was a new friend of hers.
However, after seeing Zhao Yu, the young man beca nervous. His voice sounded strange and he began acting very weird!
Without talking to him much, Zhao Yu confird that this man must have a problem. His eyes looked here and there in order to avoid eting Zhao Yu’s eyes on purpose, and he was sweating profusely. Zhao Yu could also see a part of a tattoo peeking out from his collar.
Zhao Yu searched in his system and found that the man in front of him had been involved in several campus frauds and was wanted by the police. He was a horrible cheater, who only went after college girls, taking advantage of them financially and sexually!
Upon discovering this, Zhao Yu didn’t say a word. He just grabbed a coffee cup from the table and hit the guy right on his face!
The young man moaned. He then looked at Zhao Yu sitting in his wheelchair, grabbed a red wine glass, and wanted to fight back. However, he had several pistols aid at him before he could even stand up!
He was so frightened that he covered his head with both hands and squatted down on the ground in fear. Then, they arrested him with ease.
The police took him to the police station and booked him. When Zhao Yu’s cousin learned about this man’s cri history, she was grateful that Zhao Yu had appeared at just the right ti, and she also felt scared thinking about what would have happened to her if Zhao Yu had not been there!
After she gave a recorded statent at the police station, Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu could finally have their lunch. However, although he had a satisfying al, Zhao Yu still felt terrible. The reason for this was that just after lunch, two depressing things happened.
The first one was that he received a paynt ssage. In order to reward him for his outstanding performance in solving the Headless Female Corpses Case, the Qinshan Police Departnt had awarded him a prize of 100,000 yuan, which was now being sent to his account.
The second thing was that as soon as he received the text, the system notified him that he had gotten a 149% completion score and two first-class devices for today’s side adventure.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu felt desperate. It had only been one hour since he had opened the hexagram, and the side adventure was already over. Such a hasty end undoubtedly ant that this hexagram was completely useless for his investigation of the Devil Case!
The cruel reality finally made Zhao Yu understand sothing. In the past, during every critical mont, the system would bring so insights to him so that he could solve the case and make so kind of an achievent.
No matter how difficult or complicated the case was, Zhao Yu could always solve the case with the system’s help. This ti, however, the Devil Case was totally different. Although Zhao Yu had found the murderer, he had failed to convict him due to the absence of evidence!
In Zhao Yu’s mind, the system was showing him that he couldn’t rely on it to solve this case! Zhao Yu’s disappointnt was not only because of the case, but also because of himself. He had finally learned that his confidence in solving cases mostly ca from the system, not from his own ability.
He knew that without the system, he would never be a super detective today. If it wasn’t for the system having helped him catch the killer from the Taser Rape Case, he would possibly have quit and beco a useless hooligan! In fact, if it wasn’t for the system, he would have probably achieved nothing at all.
Zhao Yu was overwheld by frustration. This was probably the first ti that he had ever felt this way. He couldn’t get rid of the feeling. Before this, no matter what difficulties or dangers he encountered, he never really let anything defeat him!
As he was stuck in such low spirits, after lunch, Zhao Yu did not return to the police station to work with his teammates, but went back to the hotel to rest, making up an excuse to his team mbers for his absence.
However, as he was in such a foul mood, it proved impossible for him to have a good rest. He just lay in bed, thinking about nothing and watching ti slowly pass on the clock.
He passed the rest of the afternoon in this way, utterly suffering. Past experiences popped in his head. He thought about the proud ti when he had solved the Mianling Kidnapping Case.
He also thought about the Gold Buddha Temple, where he had solved the case at the risk of his life and kissed Miao Ying to win her love. He also recalled the hand chopping case, the Apartnt Murder Case, the Corpses in the Bank Case, the Hasty Murder Case and the Headless Female Corpses Case.
He had solved so many cases, while learning so much from each one of them. He had matured from a rookie police officer to beco the special investigation group leader. As he thought more about it, Zhao Yu suddenly realized sothing... Hey! In addition to the system’s help, I also worked hard, right?
When he thought about this, there was a flash in his eyes... Although I used the system to help
solve cases, if I hadn’t worked a hundred tis harder than others, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve such success! Now, just because I encountered so difficulty, I shouldn’t give up and think that the system is not with
this ti!
He gritted his teeth in determination as he continued to think... Maybe there are other reasons why the system doesn’t want to give
a case clue at the mont. But, if I give up, then I will have no chance at ever knowing why, much less succeeding in solving the case! At least there are still five days left before Han Kuan’s release! Zhao Yu, you are an idiot! Does a minor operation really make you unable to think?
Zhao Yu then said to himself loudly, “You are the fuc*ing leader of the special investigation group! How can your team go through this hard ti with such a stupid leader? You never admit failure! Han Kuan may be a super cri master, who has killed 11 people, but you must find out the truth and bring the victims justice!”
Zhao Yu finally recovered his confidence. He got up imdiately and called Miao Ying.
“Hello...” Miao Ying sounded tired as she answered the phone. “How do you feel now? Any better? Do you still have a headache? Do you need
to call you a doctor?”
“ow... Listen!” Zhao Yu grabbed his cell phone tightly and spoke to her in an excited tone, “Call the Beiqian police station! Ask them to have their n co to our office, the more the better. I have so tasks for them!”
“Oh?” Miao Ying was confused, so she asked, “Zhao Yu, what are you thinking about doing?”
“Just do as I said! Right now!” Zhao Yu ordered her. “And... Have Cui Lizhu contact the Yaoming police force and ask them to bring
all of the information that they have about Han Kuan’s school days, and also Jiang Ke’s!”
He then added, “Also, have Wu Xiumin send all of the information that is related to Han Kuan to , including his personal information, any interrogation videos, and all of the manuscripts he wrote in the past, as well as all of the things that he has already published... All of it! I can’t miss a word!”
Zhao Yu then said with fierce determination, “I’m going all out this ti! I don’t believe that his cri is perfect! We have to find so loopholes!”
