"What the f * ck does that mean?" the masked man asked the brawny man.
"Mm …" The brawny man thought for a moment and replied, "It sounds like a curse, right?"
"Curse?" The masked man frowned and patted Zhao Yu's cheek gently. "Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu, do you know who I am?"
"You're a coward, stupid …" Zhao Yu uttered a dozen vulgar words in one breath.
"This …"
The brawny man wanted to translate, but the masked man raised his hand. "No need to translate, I understand! Strange … "
He lowered his head again and looked at Zhao Yu's reaction carefully. He even rolled his eyes and asked again, "Do you know what your name is?"
"I'm your grandfather … Good grandson, don't kowtow, I didn't bring a red packet!"
"Huh?!"
The masked man raised his gun and aimed it at Zhao Yu's face.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Zhao Yu suddenly shivered. His body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and he even spat out disgusting saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"I … I … I know … I know …" Zhao Yu spoke in a trembling voice, even making an electronic sound effect.
"Oh?" The masked man's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "What do you know?"
"That … that …" Zhao Yu pointed at the pit in the distance. "I know the treasure is not there! The purpose of digging the pit was not for the treasure, nor was it to escape … "
Huh?!
Hearing this, the masked man and the brawny man finally changed their calmness and showed great surprise.
"You … How do you know?" the masked man asked. "If it's not for the treasure, nor is it to escape, then what is it for?"
"That is a pit!" Zhao Yu said quickly and tremblingly like a robot. "You dug a pit to cover your tracks. When the police rush in, they will definitely follow the pit and fall into your trap …"
Huh?
The masked man trembled and his face changed.
The brawny man next to him was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, while the skinny man in the distance seemed to be at a loss and extremely nervous.
"Actually … actually, your real escape route is not that pit. In this hall, there must be other secret passages, and that secret passage is your real escape route …"
Ah!?
Hearing this, the masked man and the others couldn't help but look in the direction of the dragon throne in the hall.
Zhao Yu's eyes were wide open, so he immediately saw all of their subtle expressions. With such a trick, not only did he verify his guess, but he also found the true location of the secret passage.
Hmph!
Zhao Yu muttered to himself, "So there really is a way out. No wonder they were so fearless just now!"
"How … how is that possible?" The masked man shook his head and asked incredulously, "How did you know? You've just arrived, it's impossible … "
"I'm a great detective. I'm meticulous in my work, and I'm observant. I've cracked countless major cases, and I'm known by the people as the Scavenger of Unsolved Cases, the Terminator of Evil …"
Zhao Yu's boasting made the masked man want to beat him up!
The masked man grabbed Zhao Yu's collar and asked fiercely,
"I'm asking you, how did you know about the secret passage? Tell me! "
"When I was chasing you just now, the more I chased you, the more I felt that something was wrong …" Zhao Yu said mechanically. "The reason why something was wrong was mainly because of the time!"
"Time?"
"We were trapped in the secret base for more than 20 hours …" Zhao Yu said. "You stole the pictures of the nesting dolls that very night. In addition to the time we spent analyzing the secrets of the nesting dolls, you were at least a day and a half faster than us!"
"Just now, when I was chasing you, you had the chance to escape to the west gate, but you chose to run to the northeast, where there is no exit. You even hid in this hall. This is not the behavior of a criminal who is running for his life!
"In addition to the smoke bomb you released earlier, and the hostage situation that Guan Qing Hall had prepared. All of this made me feel that you had a plan, and that you were acting premeditatedly. "
"So, out of my instinct as a detective, I had to start thinking about some questions.
"First, what are your intentions? Second, when did you enter the Qing Palace and start looking for the treasure? Third, where is the treasure? Fourth, did you find the treasure or not? Fifth, did you really want to blow up the treasure and perish together with it? "
"…" The masked man was speechless. He gritted his teeth and asked, "And then?"
"Then, after you rushed into Guan Qing Hall, I didn't rush to solve the hostage problem. Instead, I took some time to go to the surveillance room and watch the surveillance footage from the past two days!" Zhao Yu said quickly like a robot. "In the end, I discovered that you didn't come in from the main entrance! Stealing isn't a big deal, but trying to evade a ticket is too much! "
"Hmm …" The burly man next to him frowned and immediately asked the masked man, "Sir, could it be that the drug didn't work? Why is there a rhetorical question? That's weird! "
"Of course, there were so many videos that I couldn't watch all of them," Zhao Yu said to himself. "So, I focused all my attention on the cameras near Guan Qing Hall. Only then did I realize that you guys had appeared out of thin air from Guan Qing Hall!
"If that's the case, it's obvious that there's something fishy going on in Guan Qing Hall!" Zhao Yu raised his voice. "And the big hole you dug now was obviously dug after you took the hostages. So, this hole is just a smokescreen! It's either a cellar or a sewer … "
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the masked man suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "So, you got the basis for your inference from the cameras?"
"Yes! You were bold and thought that we wouldn't be able to chase you all the way here, so you didn't tamper with the cameras … "Zhao Yu said." If something hadn't happened, no one would have paid attention to the surveillance footage! "
"Then …" the masked man asked again, "Does anyone else know about the secret passage in Guan Qing Hall? Did you tell the other police officers? "
"No!" Zhao Yu said. "I didn't tell anyone. Before, I was just guessing. I couldn't jump to conclusions without any evidence …"
"Phew …" The masked man breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then … what about the treasure? What did you find this time? "
"I … I found … I found …"
Zhao Yu's voice became softer and softer, and the masked man had no choice but to lower his head again.
Unexpectedly, just as the masked man lowered his head, Zhao Yu suddenly jumped up and grabbed the masked man's gun. Then, he slammed his forehead into the masked man's mouth!
"Ah …"
The masked man took a step back in pain. Zhao Yu raised his gun, aimed at the masked man, and pulled the trigger.
Ka ka ka …
However, the trigger was pulled, and the gun made a clicking sound, but no bullets flew out of the chamber …
"Hehe … Hahaha …"
With a cold laugh, Zhao Yu was shocked to see that the masked man's mouth was bloodshot. He was actually laughing sinisterly. The next second, he stretched out his right hand and saw that the bullets were already in his hand.
It turned out that he had already removed the bullets from his gun!
Oh …
Only then did Zhao Yu realize that he had been tricked.
At that moment, the burly man pulled out his dagger and stood in front of Zhao Yu. The skinny man in the distance also aimed his gun at Zhao Yu …
