Zhao Yu couldn't even remember how many nights it had been.
At that moment, yesterday's hexagram had just ended, and a new hexagram had not yet been opened. Zhao Yu was lying sideways on an office desk. He looked at the dozens of whiteboards in front of him, which were filled with information. He was still thinking about the case.
Has he run out of ideas?
Running out of tricks?
Motherf * cker! Zhao Yu cursed in his heart. You guys have been looking for it for 80 years and still haven't found it. You want me to admit defeat with just two words?
What a joke!
It was a big deal related to the national treasure, so it was only natural that it could not be solved.
But for some reason, Zhao Yu knew that the treasure case was not something that a crazy detective like him could solve, but he still felt very uncomfortable.
Was it because … ever since he started his career, everything had been too smooth for him? No matter how big the case was, no matter how difficult the puzzle was, it was all solved by him in the end?
So, this was a setback that was destined to be endured? Was it all arranged by the boss system? In order to become more mature and rational?
No way …
Looking at the dense information in front of him, although his head was dizzy, Zhao Yu clearly knew that regarding the treasure case, he could not bow his head and accept his fate so easily.
Perhaps, if he could not find the treasure, no one could blame him. After all, it was just an illusory thing.
However, the case surrounding the treasure could not be left unsolved, right?
Logically speaking, the five old experts had died without a clear reason. No matter what, he had to seek justice for them and catch the real murderer!
On a personal level, he was a detective who had solved many big cases. He had even solved the Headless Female Corpses Case and the Devil Case. How could he not solve the expert murder case?
Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
Yes!
Zhao Yu nodded gently. He knew that all the signs showed that the murderer who killed the old experts was a master who was even more powerful than Cheng Lingfei. They were skilled and advanced. If it were not for Tao Xiang's name list, no one would have known that the experts had been killed!
However, this was a big case that concerned lives. He could not give up on the investigation because the opponent was more powerful. A murderer must pay with his life. This was the principle that Zhao Yu had never wavered in both of his lives!
So what if the opponent was powerful?
They had killed people, so he had to find them.
So, how was he going to find them?
Zhao Yu!
He pinched his temple hard and cursed in his heart. Didn't you say that you have more than ten thousand methods? Why don't you take one out?
There are so many people waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. You can't just admit defeat, can you?
"Ah … Hero, please accompany me in chasing my dream …"
The phone's ringtone, which was already eye-catching to begin with, was undeniably abrupt when it rang in the silent night.
"Hello?" After the call was connected, the familiar voice of the goddess sounded from the other end of the phone. "How is it, my dear? Is there any progress? He picked up the phone so quickly. Could it be that he was still looking at the whiteboard in the office? You must pay attention to your health! "
Hearing Miao Ying's concerned voice, Zhao Yu suddenly felt much better. He immediately told her about his recent plans and situation.
"It's okay, just ignore her!" Miao Ying comforted him. "I've already asked my dad! The old man refused to tell the truth, but I managed to pry some information out of him. Dear, don't give yourself too much pressure. Just do your best! "
"Huh?" Zhao Yu grinned. "What do you mean? What is your dad trying to do? "
"I reckon that's the version of the story!" Miao Ying said. "When my dad found out that you wanted to get involved in the Northeast treasure case, he probably wanted to kick you out of the game! He knew that the treasure case was too complicated, and he knew that I would definitely follow your lead. So, he didn't want it to affect our engagement!
But, after what happened in New Zealand, my dad knew your temper, so he colluded with Li Jing and the others to get you out of here without anyone knowing! But … "Miao Ying changed the topic." He underestimated you. He didn't expect things to not go according to his plan at all. It completely went off track! "
"Not only did you see through Li Jing's plot, but you also beat up a group of agents!" Miao Ying said helplessly. "You know what? From the moment you made your move, things were no longer under my dad's control! That's why it became like this! "
"Huh?" Zhao Yu frowned. "Like this? Are you referring to the deadline? "
"Yes!" Miao Ying admitted. "I was just guessing, but judging from my dad's hesitant attitude, there must be a higher-up involved! It was their idea to give you a deadline! "
"This …" Zhao Yu said.
"It's very simple!" Miao Ying said. "The deadline has two meanings. One is recognition, and the other is punishment! The elite agents of the Secret Service were all experts who could take on ten people at once, but you beat up a large group of elite agents. There were not many good seedlings like you in the whole country!
"So, I think the higher-ups must have taken a fancy to you and wanted to recruit you to the Secret Service!"
"What the … there's such a thing?" Zhao Yu rolled his eyes.
Miao Ying said, "But … it's unreasonable to recruit you so blatantly! That's why there's the punishment. In fact, I think giving you a deadline is nothing more than a warning. It's to let you get in touch with the work of the Secret Service and let you understand how difficult it is to find the treasure. That's the goal! "
"Oh? Really? "Zhao Yu shook his head." I don't feel anything at all! "
"It's too obvious. A deadline of two months to find the national treasure. How could there be such a ridiculous and childish order in the world?" Miao Ying laughed. "Just wait and see. The higher-ups just want to see your performance. Once the deadline is up, whether you solve the case or not, the Secret Service will offer you an olive branch!"
"This … Two months from now, it will be our engagement day. Does my father-in-law have a part in this deadline?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Probably!" Miao Ying laughed. "My dad is a contradiction! On one hand, he wants us to live a safe and happy life, away from danger! But on the other hand, how could he not want his son-in-law to be able to take charge and inherit the business he has been working on for a lifetime? "
"Wow!" This time, Zhao Yu was really shocked and began to speak incoherently. "So … Secret Service … I … In the future …"
"Compared to the Criminal Division, the Secret Service is a bigger stage!" Miao Ying said. "I think it's quite suitable for a rogue detective like you! I'm especially looking forward to the scene of you playing rogue with those international bigwigs, ha ha ha ha … "
"This …" Zhao Yu was speechless.
"Okay! Don't think too much, dear! "Miao Ying said seriously." No matter what the future holds, it's best to take every step down-to-earth! I just want to tell you that no matter what others say, just do your best! Don't put pressure on yourself. I can't bear to see a detective like you go crazy! "
"Well! You know me the best! Ha ha … "Zhao Yu laughed." Don't worry, I'll adjust my mentality! By the way, how are things going on your side? When can you come over to help me? "
"This time, it's really soon!" Miao Ying said softly. "The closing report was written like a long novel. Now I'm just waiting for the finishing work abroad! In a few days, I'll hand over all the affairs to Zeng Ke and hurry over to meet up with you! "
"Well … I'm waiting!"
Miao Ying suddenly said. "I almost forgot. I called you because there's something else I want to talk to you about! I've thought of a new possibility as to why the five experts were killed! "
"Oh? Really? "Zhao Yu's eyes lit up." Tell me about it! "
