At 4: 30 in the afternoon, although it wasn't dinner time yet, Zhao Yu was starving.
After a busy day, he forgot to eat at noon.
At that moment, he was eating at a Pizza Hut restaurant opposite the police station.
Originally, he wanted to invite the agents who were with him to eat with him, but the agents had orders, so they were responsible for Zhao Yu's safety around the restaurant.
After eating a few plates in a row, Zhao Yu felt much better, so he took out his phone and called Cui Lizhu.
After the phone was connected, Zhao Yu asked, "How's the matter I asked you to look into?"
Through the phone, he could hear the sound of a car horn on Cui Lizhu's side. Obviously, Cui Lizhu was on her way.
"Boss, I've already been to the watch shop!" Cui Lizhu replied. "I met the shop owner, who is the young man's father!
"I don't think it's easy to say. After all … Shanghai is so big!
"But! Guess what? " Cui Lizhu said mysteriously. "The shop owner said that maybe our case has something to do with the watch he saw!"
"Don't keep me guessing!" Zhao Yu frowned. "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Oh, I didn't keep you guessing!" Cui Lizhu said. "Well, I just went to the shop and showed the shop owner the picture of the watch!
The shop owner felt that it was very familiar. He told me that even thirty years ago, this kind of watch was very rare in Norway, let alone 1918! "
"So, he was very impressed. He also said that this kind of watch was purely handmade, and no two pieces were exactly the same!"
Cui Lizhu continued, "So, he felt that the watch in our picture was very similar to the one he had repaired! And the time was exactly thirty years ago … "
"Then …" Zhao Yu asked quickly, "Does he remember who the person who repaired the watch was?"
"Yes, he remembers. If he didn't remember, he wouldn't have called you so urgently!" Cui Lizhu said. "He said that people who repair such expensive watches usually rely on their connections!
"The owner of the watch was introduced by a relative of the watch shop owner, and they also have relatives, but they are too far away!"
"Then …" Zhao Yu asked, "Who is the owner of the watch?"
"He doesn't remember his name, but the shop owner knows his cousin's master's address!" Cui Lizhu said, "In the Fuxing District on Wen 'an Road in Jiangbei District. They also said that the owner lives in a detached villa, which was built by foreigners!"
"Really?" Zhao Yu asked again. "You don't even know her surname? Male or female? "
"A woman, a woman!" Cui Lizhu replied, "Because we're too distant, I don't know his surname, but he remembers the address clearly, because …"
"Because he's a door-to-door service?" Zhao Yu asked.
"No!" Cui Lizhu said. "Because there was a big fire in my cousin's house, and the whole family was burned to death!"
"I … Ka …" Zhao Yu was shocked and repeated mechanically, "Fire?"
"Yes, it was because of the fire," Cui Lizhu said. "That's why the owner remembered it very clearly!"
"Then … Have you confirmed it?" Zhao Yu asked. "And, what about the time? What was the specific time when the watch was repaired and the fire happened? "
"Coincidentally," Cui Lizhu replied. "The shop owner said that about two months after he repaired the watch, there was a fire in their house. At that time, he was also very shocked!
"The owner's family of four were all burned to death!"
"A family of four?" Zhao Yu asked again. "Which four?"
"The owner, his wife, and their two children, were very miserable!" Cui Lizhu said. "We are now confirming it. I'm going to the address to investigate now. Zeng Ke and the others are already investigating it …"
Cui Lizhu said cautiously, "Boss, we can't be sure that the watch that the shop owner repaired is the same one that was found in the Broken Arm Safe Case."
"I know," Zhao Yu said. "Then, hurry up and confirm it! See if there are any other relatives in the family that was on fire. Then, do a DNA test … "
"Don't worry, we're not rookies. Just do what you need to do. Don't worry about it!" Cui Lizhu laughed. "We'll handle this case well!"
After that, Cui Lizhu was about to hang up.
But Zhao Yu hurriedly said, "Wait a minute. Have you asked the shop owner? How did the watch break? Why was it sent to him for repair? And, how much did the repair cost? These details are very important! "
"Boss, if you're afraid that we can't handle it well, then you can come back!" Cui Lizhu said impatiently.
"Since you handed the case to us, can you trust us a little?"
"Of course I trust you. I'm just curious," Zhao Yu said. "No matter what, once there's any progress in the case, send me a message!"
"Okay, okay … You're getting more and more sentimental …" After that, Cui Lizhu hung up the phone.
This little girl …
Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly. Cui Lizhu really deserved to be taught by me. Even her personality is so similar to mine …
Then …
Zhao Yu thought about it carefully. Is the watch that the owner of the watch shop mentioned the same one that was found in the Broken Arm Safe Case?
Shanghai is so big, and my Miracle System hasn't opened a hexagram yet. Could there be such a coincidence?
I've only asked the owner of a watch shop, and I've already found a major clue?
Moreover, there's no trace of smoke or fire on the test report of the watch.
And, thirty years have passed. Is the neighborhood where the owner of the watch lived still around?
Also, aren't they too slow?
It's been so long. Shouldn't they have found the name and detailed information of the owner of the house by now?
…
At the same time, in Shanghai Hospital, outside a special intensive care unit …
Looking at the monitor screen, Miao Kun said to his ex-wife, Xu Qin, with a worried look, "Just as I thought, this woman won't say anything!"
On the monitor screen, it was the female housekeeper who had stabbed many police officers and Xu Qin.
"Yes." Xu Qin, who had a bandage on her arm, nodded and said, "Not only her, but the bar manager as well!"
"This woman …" Miao Kun pointed to the big screen and said, "She's probably very important. From Li Liya's words, this female housekeeper might have been sent by Yaksha or Long Di to monitor Li Liya. She might know more than Li Liya!"
Xu Qin nodded silently and did not respond. Instead, she stared blankly at a piece of information.
"This is …" Miao Kun glanced at it and asked, "What report is this?"
"It's an investigation into the signal jamming of the Millionaire Building," Xu Qin said bluntly. "Through the investigation, we still haven't found the reason for the signal jamming!"
"Oh …" Miao Kun seemed to understand something. He suddenly stared at Xu Qin and said, "That means … the problem is very serious!"
"Yes!" Xu Qin nodded and said, "It's not us, it's not Yaksha, and it's not Li Liya … So …"
"So …" Miao Kun continued, "There might have been another group of people in the building at that time! Did they jam the signal? "
"Very likely," Xu Qin said worriedly. "I'm afraid that only Long Di's successor could have such advanced technology!"
"Oh …" Miao Kun nodded. "They deliberately jammed the signal at the most critical moment, which messed up Yaksha's original plan!"
"And when we couldn't get in touch with them, we would have taken action by force," Xu Qin continued. "That way, we would have had a direct confrontation with Yaksha …"
"So …" Miao Kun said in surprise. "Long Di's successor is very cunning. He wanted to kill two birds with one stone. He wanted to use us to kill Li Liqiang and Yaksha together …"
"Fortunately, Zhao Yu prevented the release of the virus weapon. Otherwise … the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
"We … must be careful!" Miao Kun realized the seriousness of the situation and said hurriedly, "This successor is too ruthless. He is likely to do even more extreme things!
"I'll apply to the higher-ups!" Miao Kun said seriously. "We must raise the alert level to the highest level …"
