Late at night, at half past twelve, in Zhao Yu's room in a hotel.
Zhao Yu wasn't sleeping, but he was holding the phone and listening to the angry voice on the other side of the phone.
"Are you okay? I won't stop you from asking me questions, but I'm already so old. Aren't you afraid that you'll scare my old heart? "
"Captain Jin, I'm sorry … Mm …" Zhao Yu said calmly. "I just ran into a bottleneck. I was hoping that you could give me some advice …"
"No way!" Captain Jin's tone changed. "You're a famous detective. Why are you asking me for advice?
"Aiyo, you scared me to death. It's the middle of the night …"
"Old man … Who is it? Aren't you retired?" There was a woman's voice on the phone. It must be Captain Jin's wife.
"Mm, it's like this, Captain Jin," Zhao Yu continued, "I have a case now …"
Who knew that before he could even speak, the other party would hang up the phone with a snap!
What the f * ck …
Zhao Yu looked at his phone and cursed angrily. At the same time, he felt a little guilty. It was indeed a little inappropriate for him to disturb an old man in the middle of the night.
But, for some reason, every time he ran into a difficult problem, he wanted to talk to the old man, who had brought him into the profession.
Maybe it was because Captain Jin had given him an important hint when he was solving the Devil Case?
He always felt that, although the old man wasn't famous in the criminal investigation world, his experience was irreplaceable.
So, tonight, he was really possessed. He actually called the old master in the middle of the night, and the result was really shocking!
Sigh … Sigh …
Beep beep … Beep beep …
Just as Zhao Yu sighed, his phone rang again. It was the old man calling him back.
"Hello …" Zhao Yu quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Jin Lao, I …"
"Just now, your wife accidentally dropped the phone." Jin Lao seemed to have sobered up and asked, "Are you really Zhao Yu? What case did you say you ran into? "
"I just solved a serial murder case, but the murderer is already dead. I suspect that there's more to this case," Zhao Yu went straight to the point. "But, after investigating for a long time, I couldn't find anything. Now, I want to hear your opinion. Should we continue investigating? Or close the case? "
"Oh … I see …" Jin thought about it for a while, then said to Zhao Yu seriously, "You've got the wrong person. How can I make decisions for you, the great detective?
"If you want to close the case, then close it. If you want to continue investigating, then continue. Your wife is right. I'm already retired. I have to take care of my grandson tomorrow! I'm almost driven crazy by that little bastard … "
"Mm …" Zhao Yu pursed his lips and advised, "Jin Lao, you said that your grandson is a little rabbit. From a genetic point of view, doesn't that make you an Uncle Rabbit?"
"You …" Captain Jin was stunned, then scolded, "You little b * stard, nothing good comes out of a filthy mouth. You've been messing with me in the middle of the night, haven't you?
"Let me tell you, your case is your case. You have to believe in your own instincts. It doesn't matter what other people say! I can't help you, I can't help you.
"Oh yeah, you can call me next time, but don't call me in the middle of the night. I'm having a nervous breakdown. I can't fall back asleep when I wake up. I have to take care of my child tomorrow! It's like a war … "
Captain Jin grumbled a few more times before hanging up the phone with a bang.
"Fine, you old man," Zhao Yu cursed in his heart. "You call me a little brat, then I'm your grandson too? Do you really think you're a rabbit? "
However, cursing was one thing, but Zhao Yu felt a strange warmth in his heart. His mind quickly recalled what Jin Zhangzi had said just now, "Don't worry.
"Your case is your case. You have to believe in your own instincts. It doesn't matter what other people say …"
"That's right …"
Zhao Yu scratched his head and pondered. In just a few seconds, he understood the meaning behind those words. Wasn't this the cause of the knot in his heart?
Ever since he had talked to Cui Lizhu, Zhao Yu had been thinking about a question. Was it because of his pride that he insisted that there was something fishy about the Ghost King Case?
Or, was it because he had encountered too many strange cases in the past, and always encountered all sorts of twists and turns? That was why he was so paranoid. No matter what case he encountered, he always thought that it was not as simple as it seemed.
But, if he disregarded these two reasons, was there really no problem with the Ghost King Case?
The answer was, of course, yes. Zhao Yu had thought about it more than once. If Qi Hao was really the murderer of the Ghost King Case, and really wanted to seek justice for Mi Rou, then … Why didn't he leave any evidence at the scene of his suicide?
For example, a suicide note, a video, or a recording. Since he wanted to seek justice for Mi Rou, then he should at least explain the injustice that Mi Rou had suffered, right?
Also, what was Qi Hao's relationship with the Ghost King Record? Why did he disguise the dead as vengeful ghosts?
If he didn't explain these things clearly, wouldn't Qi Hao feel regretful if he simply committed suicide?
But, there was no such evidence at the scene of Qi Hao's death. Wasn't this the biggest point of suspicion?
If he were to analyze it further, the photos on the wall, the murder plan, and the Ghost King Record on the table seemed to have been deliberately set up by someone to frame Qi Hao!
Could it be …
Zhao Yu thought about it seriously for a few minutes, then immediately made up his mind. He told himself, "Don't make things difficult anymore. If I want to find out the truth, I should do something practical!"
So, Zhao Yu didn't care that it was already late at night. He immediately put on his clothes and walked out of the room, ready to return to the police station office to continue the investigation of the Ghost King Case.
Who knew, just as he walked out of the room, he would inadvertently discover a new situation.
Oh, my dear grandma!
He quickly shifted his attention to the system interface in his head. He saw that the hexagram area in the middle of the interface had returned to its original color. He could actually open a hexagram again!
Wow …
Zhao Yu then realized that after twelve o 'clock, the system had unfrozen the hexagram area, and he could open a hexagram again.
Looking at the familiar hexagram interface, Zhao Yu's excitement was self-evident.
The timing was just right. If he were to open a hexagram immediately, it would undoubtedly be of great help to the direction of the investigation in the future!
Maybe, once he opened a hexagram, he would immediately know whether there was a need to continue investigating the Ghost King Case. That would naturally save him a lot of trouble!
But, just as Zhao Yu was about to open a hexagram, he suddenly stopped.
Because, in a flash, he suddenly thought of something that made him not want to open another hexagram!
Before this, he had always had a question. If he had been able to open a hexagram at the beginning of the Ghost King Case, would the final result have been like this?
Would he have been able to close the case and find out the truth before Qi Hao committed suicide?
So … Zhao Yu's mood suddenly became complicated. His inherent stubbornness and persistence made him compete with the system for the first time.
He was thinking, If I don't open a hexagram, will there be no way to find out the truth?
If I rely on the system for everything, how can I be considered a famous detective?
If so …
Zhao Yu made up his mind and immediately exited the system interface. He really didn't open a hexagram!
Just wait and see …
He silently made up his mind. He had to rely on his own abilities to get to the bottom of the Ghost King Case!
