Crazy Detective Chapter 913 - Persistence

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 meal, 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 sometimes came 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 disappointment 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 meant 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 h.e.l.lo to his cousin. His cousin recognized him immediately and was surprised and delighted to see him.

Then, they had a chat about their family members 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 became nervous. His voice sounded strange and he began acting very weird!

Without talking to him much, Zhao Yu confirmed that this man must have a problem. His eyes looked here and there in order to avoid meeting 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 s.e.xually!

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 gla.s.s, and wanted to fight back. However, he had several pistols aimed 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 crime history, she was grateful that Zhao Yu had appeared at just the right time, 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 statement at the police station, Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu could finally have their lunch. However, although he had a satisfying meal, 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 payment message. In order to reward him for his outstanding performance in solving the Headless Female Corpses Case, the Qinshan Police Department 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-cla.s.s 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 meant that this hexagram was completely useless for his investigation of the Devil Case!

The cruel reality finally made Zhao Yu understand something. In the past, during every critical moment, the system would bring some insights to him so that he could solve the case and make some kind of an achievement.

No matter how difficult or complicated the case was, Zhao Yu could always solve the case with the system’s help. This time, 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 disappointment was not only because of the case, but also because of himself. He had finally learned that his confidence in solving cases mostly came 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 become a useless hooligan! In fact, if it wasn’t for the system, he would have probably achieved nothing at all.

Zhao Yu was overwhelmed by frustration. This was probably the first time 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 members 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 time slowly pa.s.s on the clock.

He pa.s.sed the rest of the afternoon in this way, utterly suffering. Past experiences popped in his head. He thought about the proud time 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 Apartment 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 become the special investigation group leader. As he thought more about it, Zhao Yu suddenly realized something… 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 me solve cases, if I hadn’t worked a hundred times harder than others, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve such success! Now, just because I encountered some difficulty, I shouldn’t give up and think that the system is not with me this time!

He gritted his teeth in determination as he continued to think… Maybe there are other reasons why the system doesn’t want to give me a case clue at the moment. 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 time with such a stupid leader? You never admit failure! Han Kuan may be a super crime 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 immediately and called Miao Ying.

“h.e.l.lo…” 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 me to call you a doctor?”

“Meow… 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 men come to our office, the more the better. I have some 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 me 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 me, including his personal information, any interrogation videos, and all of the ma.n.u.scripts 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 time! I don’t believe that his crime is perfect! We have to find some loopholes!”
