Eight o 'clock at night.
On the high-speed train, Zhao Yu had just hung up on Miao Ying.
"How was it?" Cui Lizhu asked lazily. "Did Miss Miao scold you again?"
"You must be joking!" Zhao Yu said calmly. "You don't know my Miao Miao! Just now, when I told her everything, she was full of praise for me, saying that I was a role model in the criminal investigation world, a role model of the elite police force. In order to investigate the truth and seek justice for the victims, she was willing to sacrifice her time and energy. She's so noble … Mm … "
After Cui Lizhu rolled her eyes for ten seconds, Zhao Yu shrugged his shoulders and admitted, "Okay, you guessed it right! I was scolded so harshly that my head was filled with dog blood! Happy now? "
"Pfft!" Cui Lizhu said lazily, even taking a few sips of her drink.
"Actually, there are two reasons why Miao Ying scolded me. First, she was worried about my safety!" Zhao Yu tried to find a way out of this embarrassing situation. "Second, she was angry that I didn't bring her along! She really wanted to solve the case with me, but unfortunately, she couldn't leave the Gao Lanqi case! "
"Hmph!" Cui Lizhu snorted. "Let me give you two more reasons! Thirdly, you set up a new Special Investigation Group and set it up on its own. How could she feel good about that? Lastly, and most importantly, Miss Miao still doesn't want you to be too close to me! You're getting engaged in June! At this time, she definitely doesn't want to … "
"Don't talk nonsense, I know Miao Miao. She's not a hypocritical person!" Zhao Yu said confidently. "If she didn't trust me, the two of us wouldn't have gotten to where we are today. You don't even understand what happened between us in the past! It's called life and death, unbreakable! You haven't experienced it yourself, so you won't understand that kind of chemistry! So … "Zhao Yu said shamelessly." There's no use in trying to tempt me. I have a strong will, I won't be moved by you! "
"Screw you, don't you think your sense of superiority is disgusting? If I wanted to, I would've done it a long time ago! I … Um … "Cui Lizhu put her arms around Zhao Yu's shoulders and said heavily," I just see you as my boss! "
"Yes, that's right!" Zhao Yu nodded in satisfaction. He felt that Cui Lizhu was too clingy, so he pushed her away. Who knew, whether it was intentional or not, his perverted hand suddenly touched the sensitive area of the other party's chest.
Ga Ga …
In an instant, a few crows flew past. Cui Lizhu's face turned red. She quickly grabbed her drink and gulped it down.
F * ck!
Zhao Yu was also embarrassed. He quickly moved away and whistled mischievously.
Because it was already past the rush hour, there were not many passengers on the high-speed train from the capital to Feng Ping. As far as the eye could see, half the carriage was empty.
"By the way, Boss, do you know the people the higher-ups sent to you?" After a moment of silence, Cui Lizhu asked, "Why do you feel so uncomfortable before you even see him?"
"I don't know him!" Zhao Yu said. "The so-called team leader is from the Foreign Affairs Office! I asked Ma Runkui and he said that he's a good person. He used to be in charge of Japanese and Korean affairs. He speaks seven languages and is a top student. "
"Hmph!" Cui Lizhu said. "What's the use of knowing 100 foreign languages? We're here to solve a case. Isn't this a classic example of a layman leading an expert? The way I see it, he's leeching off of you, Godly Detective Zhao, and is here to gild his reputation. "
"I'm not too sure about the specific situation. We'll have to see him in person first!" Zhao Yu sighed. "He's rushing back from abroad. If possible, we might meet him tomorrow! By then, my people will be almost all here! "
"I don't understand …" Cui Lizhu shook her head. "How could the case we want to investigate involve a diplomatic dispute? Could it be that these five people were all killed by foreign spies? "
"That's hard to say!" Zhao Yu shook his head. "Think about it. If the five people's deaths were really related to the treasure, it's still very possible! Russia and Japan may also be involved. This kind of thing is hard to say! So, it makes sense for the higher-ups to prepare for a rainy day. "
"Oh …" Cui Lizhu looked around vigilantly and whispered, "If that's the case, then we have to be very careful!"
"Of course!"
Zhao Yu looked at the monitoring screen in his brain. Ever since he opened the Kun Dui hexagram, he had turned on the Invisible Detector early in the morning. He was always alert to any movements around him.
"But …" Zhao Yu said, "I have a doubt that I haven't figured out yet! Your father Tao Xiang didn't say how he got the names of the 16 people in the notebook! Did he find out about it himself? Or did he get it through some other channel?
"Think about it carefully. If the five people were murdered, then could the murderer have something to do with your father?"
"Um … Well …" Cui Lizhu frowned and thought about it. "You mean that there are other people who have the same list as my father?"
"It's possible, but these are just hypotheses!" Zhao Yu exhaled and said, "Before we get concrete evidence, we can't jump to conclusions."
"Yes, maybe the deaths of the five people were just a coincidence! If it was really a coincidence, then wouldn't all of our efforts have been in vain? " Cui Lizhu said helplessly. "In the end, we won't be able to investigate the treasure, and my big house will be gone. It's all for naught!"
"Even so," Zhao Yu said softly, "based on my experience, this kind of coincidence is almost impossible!"
"Oh? Why? "Cui Lizhu's eyes widened.
"Because the order of death of the five people is exactly the same as that on the list!" Zhao Yu said. "The first person on the list died the earliest, and the last person died the latest. It's completely in the order of the list! Plus, the deaths happened in a relatively short period of time, and they all died of the same disease. So, the probability of coincidence is zero! "
"Oh! So, you could be sure that the deaths of the five people were not accidents! "Cui Lizhu pointed at Zhao Yu." Wow, you actually didn't tell me earlier! No wonder you went to the Criminal Division to apply for permission before you even started investigating the case! It turns out that you already had a plan! "
