Even though they had received news of the murder suspect, Yang Wentao, it did not mean that they would be able to catch the criminal.
The news came from a villager near the reservoir. The villager had reported to the local police that two nights ago, he had seen an unfamiliar man near the reservoir. The man had passed by the reservoir in a hurry. The villager had gone up to ask, but the two had gotten into a fight. In the end, the man had escaped and headed west of the reservoir.
Later, after seeing the arrest warrant, the villager realized that the man looked very similar to Yang Wentao on the warrant.
Regardless of whether the news was accurate or not, was the man Lin Wentao? Even if he was, two days had passed, and he might have already left the reservoir area.
As such, on the way to Qinshan Reservoir, Peng Xin made an emergency adjustment for the investigators.
She contacted the local police to get them to look for surveillance cameras to look for any suspicious traces of the suspect. On the other hand, she split the investigators into groups and headed to the villages near the reservoir to search.
Including Zhao Yu, there were ten people and five cars. Two people to a group.
Zhao Yu and Liu Xueshan were in a group, and were assigned to search south of the reservoir. There were three small towns in that area, and more than twenty villages. The workload was not small!
After parting ways with the rest of the team, Zhao Yu and Liu Xueshan drove south.
On the way, Liu Xueshan was full of complaints, and was very critical of Peng Xin's commands.
He first said that every village had a police station, and there were policemen on duty in the villages. The search could be left to them. Why did they have to let the Key Case Investigation Unit do it themselves?
Plus, the witness said that Yang Wentao had gone west, so why did they have to search south? It would be better to focus on searching the west side!
Then, he began to worry about the accuracy of the news. If the villagers saw wrongly, then wouldn't they be wasting their time?
Also, Qinshan was so big. If Yang Wentao went deep into the mountains, where would they find him?
Hearing Liu Xueshan's negative emotions, Zhao Yu could not help but feel annoyed. Thinking back to when he had led the team out, this guy had been so confident and excited, and had spoken better than anyone! But in the blink of an eye, he had started to slack off and ruin Peng Xin's plans.
Zhao Yu knew that Liu Xueshan was a veteran in the team, and he was the oldest. He had always been unhappy with Peng Xin's temporary appointment.
However, Liu Xueshan had neither the ability nor the boldness to back him up. How could the leaders pay attention to him?
In the past, when Zhao Yu was in the underworld, he hated the kind of people who didn't have a firm stand and spread negative ideas everywhere. These kinds of people were not trustworthy at all.
So, Zhao Yu ignored him and went back to sleep.
Logically speaking, Zhao Yu, as the junior, should be the one driving, but Liu Xueshan knew Zhao Yu's arrogance and brutality. Seeing Zhao Yu sit in the back seat, he obediently became the driver.
Zhao Yu did not sleep the whole night. He was too tired. Although the journey was bumpy, he still slept soundly. When he woke up, the car had already reached its first destination.
This place was called Yulangdian, more than 20 kilometers away from the Qinshan Reservoir. It was a small mountain town in the Moyang County of Qinshan City.
When they reached their destination, Liu Xueshan and Zhao Yu went to the local police station as usual and met up with them. The local police had already been notified and had already started an investigation in the town. They would inform them if there was any news.
By the time they were done, it was already noon. The two of them found a small restaurant in town and had a simple meal.
While they were eating, Liu Xueshan was still grumbling and complaining, which made Zhao Yu even more annoyed.
Just then, the Miracle System sent him a message. The system told Zhao Yu that his adventure for the day had ended. The completion rate was only forty-two percent. He did not get anything!
This time, Zhao Yu could not help but be surprised.
Why did the system end so quickly today, and why was the completion rate so low?
He thought that the adventure for the day had not even started yet!
Why did it end so suddenly?
Thinking about this, he quickly got into the car and looked at his records.
Kan Zhen hexagram!
Kan Zhen hexagram?
"Kan" represented women. Women … women?
Zhao Yu tried to recall. The woman he had interacted with the most that day was undoubtedly Miao Ying! Was the woman referring to her?
Or …
Zhao Yu thought about it seriously and quickly thought of another possibility!
Aiya, Luan Xiaoxiao, Bureau Chief Luan is also a woman!
She said she wanted to see me today. Could it be … the woman referred to in the adventure today was her?!
In the end, because he chose to follow the police, he missed the adventure with her?
That was why the completion rate was so low …
Then …
What about the "Zhen" hexagram?
What did "Zhen" represent?
At that time, Zhao Yu seemed to have caught onto something. He quickly looked through his records and finally made a new discovery.
It turned out that the "Zhen" hexagram did not appear many times in the system's hexagram selection. There were only three times on the record. The earliest time this had happened was after the Lost Hand Case, when Zhao Yu had beaten up the blonde.
The second appearance was the "Thunder in the Water" during police training, which was the time he and Miao Ying fought in the police school.
The most recent appearance of the "Zhen" hexagram was when Liu Changhu announced that he had entered the Cold Case.
Zhao Yu sketched it out. He felt that the "Thunder in the Water" hexagram did not count because it had been interrupted by Miao Ying. Then … did the beating up of the blonde and his transfer to the Cold Case Unit have anything to do with each other?
Even though he was not sure, Zhao Yu instinctively thought of one word — status!
The day he beat up the blonde happened to be the day he solved the Lost Hand Case and established his status in the Key Case Investigation Unit.
Liu Changhu had transferred him to the Cold Case Unit. On the surface, it looked like it was related to work, but in reality, his status had also changed!
Could it be …
The "Zhen" hexagram represented status?
Thinking about it that way, his fight with Miao Ying had also established his authority in the hearts of many male police officers. It seemed to have also changed his status. Could it be that the "Thunder in the Water" was referring to his fight with Miao Ying?
Thinking about this, Zhao Yu quickly recorded this conjecture down so that he could experience it when he received the "Zhen" hexagram in the future.
"Aiya!"
In the process of recording, Zhao Yu suddenly thought of something. If the "Zhen" hexagram really represented status, then did the "Zhen" hexagram today also have a clear indication?
Could Bureau Chief Luan's summons have something to do with his change in status? Was it because he did not go that the Miracle System had ended early?
Holy sh * t!
The more Zhao Yu thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. If he had gone to Bureau Chief Luan's office today, he might have been transferred out of the Cold Case Unit! He might have missed a good opportunity.
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu could not help but feel regret. If only he had understood this earlier! He had not expected that arresting Yang Wentao would be so difficult. If he had known earlier, he would have gone to the Bureau Chief's office first. It would not have been too late to help later!
However, when he thought about it, he quickly felt relieved.
He had already solved the Slaughter Case, so he would have to submit the report sooner or later, and he would have to go to the leader's office sooner or later! Even though he had missed this opportunity, there should be more opportunities waiting for him!
