Crazy Detective

Chapter 944: A Challenge Against Me

In the evening, while Zhao Yu was carefully writing on the white board, the Miracle System in his brain finally sent him a notification. The Kun Kan hexagram, which was opened yesterday, lasted nearly 40 hours and was now finally over.

Zhao Yu got a 198% completion score, three first-class devices, and 198 adventure points. It had lasted for such a long time!

Zhao Yu sighed. Only the Qian hexagram had lasted so long in the past. He didn’t know why this Kun Kan hexagram had lasted so long.

He wondered if he could find any new clue for this bizarre case now. Although it was not yet midnight, because the last hexagram was opened yesterday, Zhao Yu could open a new hexagram.

At this critical moment, Zhao Yu wouldn’t turn down any chance at getting any clues, so he immediately opened a new hexagram. Naturally, he hoped to open a Gun hexagram because only that represented new progress on a case.

However, something strange happened. Although Zhao Yu clicked on it several times, the system’s hexagram interface never responded. It seemed like its internal computer suddenly crashed!

Zhao Yu was annoyed, and he wondered why the system was giving him such a slow response… Why is this happening? Both the side adventure and the hexagram functions have stopped working!

Feeling depressed, he tried other functions, none of which have him any response either! He grumbled in his heart… What’s wrong with the system?

Zhao Yu shook his head. He had no idea what had happened.

At this time, Miao Ying suddenly came up to him with a cup of hot coffee and said, “Here… I made it just the way you like it! Two sachets of sugar! It’ll warm you up!”

She was clearly trying to cheer him up. Zhao Yu took the coffee and looked at his watch.

Miao Ying looked at him with concern, then said, “Well… There are still more than three hours before the plane takes off! Are you sure that you want to go to Yaoming alone? I…”

“Yes. You have to stay and take charge of the work here!” Zhao Yu said solemnly.

He then added, “Meow… I’ll be back soon, right after I see Jiang Ke tomorrow!”

Miao Ying shook her head, then said, “But… An expert team is responsible for Jiang Ke’s case over there. Can’t you just talk to them over the phone? Why do you have to go there in person?”

Zhao Yu shook his head, then said, “Those experts can’t make Jiang Ke tell the truth! They need me!”

Miao Ying was worried about him and said, “But, have you ever thought that if you go there, the situation might get worse? Jiang Ke now knows that you killed Cui Xiaolong! He and Cui Xiaolong were really good friends. If you go there, you could be in danger!”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, “Not necessarily! He told me all about Han Kuan’s affairs last time! Jiang Ke is smart, but I am no fool! I’m going there only to confirm my guess. I don’t necessarily even need him to speak. If he says something, it means that Jiang Ke was just a passerby, like in Han Kuan’s case.”

Zhao Yu then added, “But, if he stays silent or deliberately changes the subject, that means that Jiang Ke must have played a role in Wu Fangfang’s case!”

Miao Ying nodded, then said reluctantly, “Okay, but you must be careful!”

Zhao Yu tried to comfort Miao Ying as he said, “Rest assured, dear! I value my life! What’s more, the Criminal Division has arranged a group of professional bodyguards for me!”

After Miao Ying nodded again, she thought of something else and said hastily, “Actually… We should also assign someone in Beiqian!”

Zhao Yu didn’t follow her line of thinking and asked, “What do you mean?”

Miao Ying explained, “Han Kuan is on trial now in Beiqian. He is one of the few people who knows the truth about Jiang Ke. I think, since we got Han Kuan’s information from Jiang Ke, why can’t we do the same with Han Kuan? I want to know what Han Kuan’s would say about Jiang Ke.”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, “That’s smart. I didn’t think about this. I should have asked him when I was in Golden City!”

“Then, what about Wu Xiumin?” Miao Ying asked.

Zhao Yu replied firmly, “Meow, you listen to me… While I am in Yaoming, none of you can act on your own!”

“Okay…” Miao Ying reluctantly agreed.

Zhao Yu then added, “Han Kuan is not like Jiang Ke, so you should talk to a project team and ask them to find someone to talk to Han Kuan. We don’t necessarily need to go over there ourselves.”

“Good… Okay…” Miao Ying agreed, but she still looked nervous about the whole thing.

Zhao Yu finished his coffee, then said, “Doctor Gao’s team is collecting evidence in Jinghai at the moment. They are going to take the photos and the drawer back to Capital University for further examination! He’s not sure when the results will be ready.”

Miao Ying nodded, then said, “Zhao Yu, I know that you have many questions now! This case is very strange indeed! But, it’s also possible that we have been overthinking it. In fact, there has always been a possible truth right in front of us, but none of us has wanted to believe it…”

Miao Ying paused for a moment, then finally asked, “Is there any possibility that Wu Fangfang and Jiang Ke are the killers from the Ziliu Case?”

Zhao Yu did not speak, but his eyes showed that he was not satisfied with accepting this theory.

Miao Ying then said, “After all, Wu Fangfang deceived everyone! She and Jiang Ke secretly plotted the bloody case and framed Yang Zebiao! Perhaps, they wanted to kill Yang Zebiao, but Yang Zebiao escaped! Then, Wu Fangfang joined the 03 Special Investigation Group, not to solve the case, but to find Yang Zebiao and kill him!”

Miao Ying paused to take a deep breath, then continued, “Yang Zebiao didn’t have any evidence, so he didn’t report anything to the police. Another reason for this could have been that Wu Fangfang was with the police, and later, she even became special investigation group leader!”

She blinked several times in her excitement, then continued, “So, if he came to the police at that time, he would have been putting himself in a perilous position. Moreover, as Jiang Ke had great power and even the police couldn’t find him, it would have been impossible for Yang Zebiao alone to seek revenge. So, all he could do was escape and wait for a good opportunity…”

Miao Ying then exclaimed, “Now, after 13 years, the time has finally come! You arrested Jiang Ke, and now, Wu Fangfang’s group is not as powerful as it was before. Yang Zebiao finally found the opportunity for his revenge, so he killed Wu Fangfang during her trip to the cemetery!”

Miao Ying exhaled, then said, “The reason why Yang Zebiao broke into Wu Fangfang’s house and made a mess at the scene was to attract the police’s attention, bringing them to Wu’s house in order for them to find the evidence of Wu Fangfang’s crime! So, we just need to find Yang Zebiao, then we can solve the problem! And… It’s very likely that he was the motorcyclist!”

“Ha ha…” After hearing Miao Ying’s quite complex theory, Zhao Yu laughed. “Meow, what I like most about you is that you never lie, and your eyes have already given you away!”

“What do you mean?” Miao Ying was puzzled.

Zhao Yu then asked her, “What’s the reason that we have some doubts about Yang Zebiao’s DNA and Wu Fangfang’s nude photos?”

“Um… You… What do you mean?” Miao Ying asked, still confused.

“We both had the same thought regarding how the clues that appeared seemed to have been deliberated placed there!” Zhao Yu arched his brows as he spoke.

He then asked, “Do you remember the Devil Case? Why didn’t we feel this way when we were investigating the Devil Case? Let me tell you why… When we were investigating Han Kuan, the more clues we had, the more cases were involved. Although we had a hard time with it, we were sure that every clue that we found was true and had not been fabricated or falsified!”

Zhao Yu smiled mysteriously as he added, “But, this case is different! At the beginning, we got a lot of clues and evidence, each of which reminded us of many things! This is not a normal situation, according to my past experience!”

Miao Ying frowned, then guessed, “So… What do you think the reason for this is? Is it a trap?”

Zhao Yu nodded. “Either someone wants to challenge me, or someone is trying to tell us something!”
