The next night, at the Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong …
Zhao Yu had just attended a luxurious banquet specially prepared for him by the local police office. The chief superintendent, the police chief, and other high-ranking officers were all present, which gave Zhao Yu a lot of face.
However, although the banquet was of a high standard, Zhao Yu didn't feel much of it. He talked and laughed when he wanted to, and bragged when he wanted to. He managed to make the atmosphere of the banquet comfortable, and didn't lose any of his dignity.
After the banquet, Zhao Yu returned to the police office in Ding Lan's bulletproof business car.
On the way, Zhao Yu was a little drunk, so he asked Ding Lan, "Since we've proven that these two cases weren't directed at us, why are we still so careful? Are there still people protecting us from afar? "
"Of course!" Ding Lan said. "You're a big shot now! Even if you don't have so many enemies, you can't be careless about your safety! "
"Um … With you around …" Zhao Yu took the opportunity to pat his sister-in-law's shoulder. "I'm so relieved!"
"Brother-in-law, why don't you go back to the hotel and rest early today?" Ding Lan asked with concern as she drove. "You drank, but you still want to go to the police office? There's no instruction from the higher-ups that you have to be responsible for Mia's murder case! "
"But, didn't I make it in time?" Zhao Yu said. "First of all, I felt that I got along well with the Thai expert. Second, he died in a foreign country, so we need to find out the truth. Third …"
"Third?" Ding Lan asked curiously. "What?"
"Third …" Zhao Yu weighed the pros and cons, then said, "If Mia's death is related to the two fake Kuman Thong cases, it wouldn't be strange!
"But, since it's not related, we have to study it carefully …"
"Why?" Ding Lan asked. "Do you think there's something fishy about Mia's death?"
"It's more than fishy …" Zhao Yu sighed. "The day I met him in the western restaurant, because we had a good talk, I gave him a few suggestions and asked him to follow my suggestions to look for clues in the Kuman Thong case …"
"But, I talked to him during the day, and he died in the evening …" Zhao Yu said.
"Don't you think that's fishy?"
"This …" Ding Lan suddenly slowed down the car and said with a complicated expression, "Brother-in-law … why do I feel scared when I hear you speak?
"Are you handling too many cases? Don't tell me you think that there's a problem behind every case? Is there … such a coincidence? "
"Of course, there might not be such a coincidence!" Zhao Yu said. "But he is dead! And it just so happened that he died at this time. What do you think is reasonable? "
"What if … Mia was killed for other reasons?" Ding Lan argued, "Because of his personal grudge?"
"Personal grudges? I don't think so! "Zhao Yu shook his head." Personal grudges won't be solved in Xiangjiang! Why not kill him at any time?
"Why do you insist on rushing to the heart of the storm?" Zhao Yu insisted on his own theory. "Let me tell you, if someone dared to kill Mia like that, they must have encountered a huge problem that they couldn't solve and had to kill!"
"Wait a minute …" Ding Lan suddenly thought of something and asked, "I forgot to ask you just now. What advice did you give Mia?"
"I …" Zhao Yu recalled. "I told Mia that although the Kuman Thong Murder Case hasn't appeared since 2015, it doesn't mean that the case is closed. If we carefully examine the last few cases he committed, maybe we can find some new clues!"
After that, Zhao Yu lay down in his seat.
Ding Lan waited for a few seconds, then couldn't help but turn around and ask, "That's it?"
"Yes." Zhao Yu shrugged.
"What are you doing, brother-in-law …" Ding Lan shook her head doubtfully. "The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it sounds!
"The last cases he committed!
Do you know how many people have been studying the Kuman Thong Murder Case day and night for so many years? Just because you said to investigate the last cases, the truth of the case will be revealed? "
"Mia is a smart person. Sometimes, I just need to give him a little hint, and he will understand." Zhao Yu felt good about himself.
"That's really whimsical." Ding Lan shook her head. "What wine did you drink tonight?"
"No, listen to me … I'm not making wild guesses …" Zhao Yu said sleepily. "Think about it. Maybe the whole process is like this.
"The Kuman Thong killer has retired, but one day, he suddenly hears that there's another Kuman Thong Murder Case in Xiangjiang. How do you think the killer will react?
"If it were me, I would definitely be very curious and want to see who is imitating me. Isn't it very similar? Why would he imitate me?
"So, the killer asked his accomplices or subordinates to come to Xiangjiang to take a look.
"But, they are all police officers. How can they get information?
So, they turned their attention to Dr. Mia … "
"Of course, they know Mia. After all, Mia is an expert in investigating the Kuman Thong Case. So, they slowly approached Mia and eavesdropped on his every word and action.
"In the end, they suddenly found out that, after being reminded by me, a world-class detective, Mia might find out the truth about the real Kuman Thong killer, so …"
"Okay, okay, stop it, brother-in-law …" Ding Lan said uncomfortably. "You're giving me goosebumps!
It seems that a detective's thinking is indeed different from that of a normal person. Oh, no, it's too different … "
"Okay, okay …" Ding Lan held the steering wheel tightly and said, "No matter what, I will use all my resources to help you investigate Mia's murder case! Ouch … "
Then, Ding Lan couldn't help but shiver.
…
Maybe it was because the wine was too strong, but before Zhao Yu arrived at the police station in Ding Lan's car, he felt dizzy.
So, under Ding Lan's persuasion, he had to go back to the hotel where he was staying.
After entering the room, Ding Lan checked the room, poured Zhao Yu a glass of water, chatted with him for a while, then left the room.
Zhao Yu then took a shower, lay on his bed, and got ready to sleep.
These two days, Miao Ying was still in the trial, so he couldn't contact her for the time being. However, he still sent her a voice message, telling her about his current situation and cheering her on.
Originally, he was so sleepy that he thought he could fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
However, after he closed his eyes, he found that he couldn't fall asleep.
He knew that the reason why he couldn't fall asleep was that he still had one unresolved issue, which was Mia's murder case.
In fact, the debate he had with Ding Lan in the car wasn't all nonsense. Instead, he did have a piece of evidence that he couldn't prove.
This was because, when he met Mia, the Invisible Detector in his head had been turned on. At that time, through the detector, he had discovered that there was a special micro-electronic device on Mia's body, which was a listening device!
The listening device was placed in Mia's tie clip, so it couldn't be seen from the outside.
However, Zhao Yu didn't care at that time, because in addition to the listening device, Mia was also wearing a lot of advanced electronic devices.
So, he thought that the listening device was some kind of work habit of Mia's. For example, whenever she thought of something, she would record it in the form of a voice recorder.
But now, it seemed that the listening device was a little strange!
Zhao Yu carefully examined Mia's body, and the listening device was long gone.
Therefore, because he knew about the existence of the listening device, Zhao Yu felt that even if Mia's death had nothing to do with the real Kuman Thong killers, there must be a big reason behind it!
