Around four in the afternoon that day, the Miracle System in Zhao Yu's mind suddenly sent an ending notification, telling him that the adventure had been completed. The completion rate was seventy-two percent, and he had received another invisible device.
He opened the device and saw that it was another invisible tracking device, just like the last time!
"What is this?
Can't there be something new? Something fun, exciting? "
While feeling slightly disappointed, Zhao Yu finally had time to think about the Miracle System. Up until now, he had used it three times. Even though he was not sure of the pattern, he had some understanding.
He took out his little notebook and began to analyze and record.
First of all, the Miracle System could only be used once a day, and the ending time was not fixed. Zhao Yu guessed that the ending time was related to the completion rate. The earlier he finished the adventure, the earlier it would end, otherwise it would be the other way around.
Secondly, the adventures were all random. It was not like he could encounter any adventure that he wanted. For example, today, he had been hoping that the Miracle System would help him solve the Lost Hand Case, but the main part of the adventure was clearly meeting Yao Jia, and riding a camel to catch a thief!
Also, he felt that when the Miracle System was first activated, the cryptic hexagram had a reason behind it. For example, the third time when it said something about worldly affairs and fate seemed to have something to do with Yao Jia; and the bumpy ride seemed to have something to do with him riding a camel.
Could it be that the meaning of the hexagram was hinting at the adventure he was about to encounter?
Looking at the hexagram's topic, it seemed to have a reason as well. He vaguely remembered that there was a Gen Dui hexagram, Kan Gen hexagram, and so on. Kan, Gen, and Dui were probably nouns of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. He looked it up online and found that there were some similarities.
Kan represented water, Gen represented mountain, and Dui represented marsh. These explanations were the same as the hexagram in the system. Zhao Yu felt that if he could understand these topics and the hexagram, he might be able to use the Miracle System more efficiently in the future, and greatly increase the completion rate.
It seemed that he had to do more research in the future, and strive to completely master the system so that he could use it as he pleased!
After putting aside the system, Zhao Yu could not help but focus on the Lost Hand Case. Now, it seemed that although he had the Miracle System, the system might not be able to help him solve the case.
Not only would he not be able to help, but he might also encounter some fortuitous encounter like today. If he was not careful, he might even end up wasting his time.
If that was the case …
After much deliberation, he made a wise decision. From now on, he would rely on his own strength to solve this Lost Hand Case!
After all, he had made a bet with someone. Losing and paying 1,800 yuan was a small matter. The key was losing face. To prevent Liu Changhu and the others from laughing at him, he had to work hard.
Although he was a layman who had transmigrated to this world, he had caught many spies when he was in a gang. So, he still had a certain level of confidence in his own ability!
That night, Zhao Yu printed out more information about the Lost Hand Case and brought it back to his apartment to study.
The rental house was great except for the lack of wifi signal. Jiang Dafeng would rather use his own data than install an internet cable.
Actually, the reason he did this was to prevent his daughter, Xiaoqing, from playing with her phone, from affecting her studies.
But he did not know that his daughter was an expert hacker. Jiang Xiaoqing had already cracked the password next door, and did not delay her playing at all.
Zhao Yu was also very cunning. On the day he checked in, he asked for the password that Jiang Xiaoqing had cracked. Now, both of them were using the signals of the girls next door.
Zhao Yu spread out all the information on the table and began to reorganize the events of the case, trying to sort out the whole process of the Lost Hand Case.
Last year, on April 22nd, in an underground tunnel of the Qinshan Stadium, the first victim had appeared.
The victim was called Gao Tian, a white-collar worker in a foreign company. She had been working in the capital and had rushed back to Qinshan that day to watch a concert.
Gao Tian had personally described that after the concert, she had been walking out of the underground tunnel with the crowd, but had suddenly been drugged and fainted. When she had woken up, her right hand was gone.
After the killer had chopped off her right hand, he had bandaged her wound to prevent her from bleeding to death.
What was strange about this case was that the killer did not leave any traces after committing the crime. All of the surveillance cameras in the stadium had not found anything suspicious.
Even though the victim had been drugged in a crowded area, the tunnel was crowded, the lighting was not strong, and it was late at night. Everyone was tired, so they could not find any witnesses and obtain any valid statements.
At the time, the police were trying their best to solve the case, but they did not expect that, five days later, on April 26th, another Lost Hand Case would occur.
This time, the victim was Yuan Lili, whom Zhao Yu and Li Beini had visited that day. The process of Yuan Lili's death was even more unbelievable. She had been lying in her own bed, and her right hand had been chopped off!
There had been no warning that day. Yuan Lili had washed up and gone to bed, but when she woke up, her right hand was gone. That kind of terror was unimaginable.
At the time, Yuan Lili did not live in the high-class residential area, but there were still many surveillance cameras in the residential area. The strange thing happened again. No matter how the police searched through the videos, they could not find any suspicious people. They even checked all the videos from the seven days before and after the crime in detail, but to no avail.
According to the information, Yuan Lili's anti-theft door did show signs of being broken into, but after technical inspection, it was found that the door had not been broken into. The killer actually had her house key.
Yuan Lili was alone at home that day. A few days earlier, she had gotten into a big fight with her husband and kicked him out of the house. At first, the police naturally targeted her husband.
But her husband was on a business trip that day, so he had an alibi. Yuan Lili and her husband were not on good terms, and after the fight, the two were bound to divorce.
After Yuan Lili's incident, the Lost Hand Case did not appear again. It had been quiet for a whole year.
Who knew that the third case would suddenly happen a year later, and the time was still April 22nd.
The victim of the third case was called Luo Meina. She was a typical housewife, and her husband was a typical nouveau riche. She had attended a banquet that night, and on the way back, she had been drugged. When she woke up in the morning, she realized that her right hand was gone.
At the time, she was still lying in her BMW, which was parked in one of the alleys on Jiuhe Street. The frightened Luo Meina ran out of the car and went to a KFC restaurant nearby to ask for help. That was when she was discovered.
Just like the previous two cases, other than the BMW being photographed by the traffic cameras, there was no sign of the killer.
According to the analysis of the crime scene, the killer must have hidden in Luo Meina's car and drugged her after Luo Meina got into the car.
Then, the killer drove the car into the Jiuhe Street alley, cut off Luo Meina's hand outside the car, and put her back in the car.
Then, the killer disappeared.
Holy sh * t …
Looking at the crime scene that he had organized, Zhao Yu could not help but think of Li Beini's words. This killer came and went like a ghost!
