At midnight, Zhao Yu opened the system in his brain and opened a new hexagram.
Originally, the Hasty Murder Case had just ended, and it had ended with a powerful Qian hexagram. Hence, Zhao Yu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, didn't open any hexagram that day. Instead, he chose to take a day off.
But he didn't expect that even though he didn't get a hexagram, he still had a fortuitous encounter and got himself involved in the Gem Theft Case.
Twelve o 'clock was the start of the seven-day deadline. From then on, he had to get into the zone and start looking for the Tamil Star! So, how could he not open a hexagram?
"Dui Zhen!"
After opening the hexagram, these two big words appeared in the center of the system.
"Oh no," Zhao Yu thought. Seeing that the "Gen" hexagram was not in the hexagram, Zhao Yu could not help but feel disappointed. It seemed that it would not be easy to find clues to solve the case quickly.
However, Zhao Yu knew the pattern of the hexagram. The case had only just begun. Only by working hard would he be able to find clues and get the "Gen" hexagram.
At that very moment, Zhao Yu followed his usual routine and added all the information he knew about the Gem Case onto the whiteboard in front of him.
In fact, Zhao Yu had a place in his heart. He was certain that Cui Lizhu's adoptive father was the thief, Tao Xiang! And the person who stole the gemstones from the exhibition must be him!
When he was eating the lamb skewers, Zhao Yu had only raised his suspicions to express his thoughts. The reason why he suspected Tao Xiang was because of a few reasons.
First of all, Tao Xiang had never mentioned where he had been when he disappeared. What if it had nothing to do with the gem case?
Secondly, since Tao Xiang's brain was injured, he was sometimes conscious and sometimes confused. Why didn't he explain everything to Cui Lizhu when he was conscious?
Thirdly, as the King of Thieves, he was so poor that he needed his daughter to take him to hide from place to place. Moreover, he needed his daughter to "earn money" to support the family. This was really illogical.
However, Zhao Yu was considered a person who had been in the underworld for a long time. After thinking about it carefully, he came up with the answers to the three questions.
First of all, during the Gem Theft Case, Tao Xiang told Cui Lizhu that he was going to do a big deal! Tao Xiang was the king of thieves. The big business that he was talking about was definitely related to theft. Hence, the probability of him stealing the Tamil Star was very high!
In addition, according to Cui Lizhu's memory, Tao Xiang had mentioned something about gemstones after he had lost his mind. Therefore, Zhao Yu concluded that the gemstones were indeed stolen by Tao Xiang.
He just didn't know what happened after he stole the gemstone.
Secondly, it was not strange that Tao Xiang did not tell the truth even when he was awake.
Zhao Yu knew Tao Xiang's temperament very well. They wandered in the treacherous and treacherous Jianghu all day long. Every day, they lived in fear and vigilance, fearing that they would be schemed against by others.
Therefore, such people usually didn't trust anyone. Even if it was their own family, they wouldn't easily reveal their thoughts.
This was especially true for a first-class bandit like Tao Xiang. He lived in disguise every day and could no longer find his true self!
Therefore, even if he was awake, he would not easily reveal the secret.
As for the third point, Zhao Yu had a deep understanding of it. In his previous life, he had come into contact with countless robbers and thieves, but he had discovered a shocking pattern from them. No matter how skilled these people were, no matter how valuable they could steal, in the end, not a single one of them could rely on stealing to make a meteoric rise in their career and become rich!
Among all the successful entrepreneurs, I've never heard of any of them being a thief before.
Perhaps, thieves had an innate sense of inferiority. Or, they didn't know how to cherish the things they stole, so they squandered them.
In short, there were only a few outcomes for these thieves. They would either end up in the police station, or they would remain poor and destitute. No matter what they stole, it wouldn't change their fate!
So, Zhao Yu guessed that even the king of thieves was no exception to this rule. Or, he was addicted to gambling and squandered his money? Or, he had many enemies, so he used money to get rid of them? Or, he had met with unkind people and was cheated of his wealth.
Besides, after so many things had happened, Cui Lizhu didn't have to lie to him. So, Zhao Yu was sure that the crazy old man was Tao Xiang. The Tamil Star must have something to do with him!
At that moment, it was late at night, and the members of the special investigation group had already gone to bed. There were two documents on the desk in front of the whiteboard. One was Cui Lizhu's detailed confession, while the other was the information about the Gem Case that Zeng Ke had found online.
Cui Lizhu's confession was recorded by Wu Xiumin. In order not to miss out on any details, Zhao Yu asked Cui Lizhu to record every single detail about Tao Xiang from six years ago, including every word he had said, every movement, and every expression he had made. She even wanted to note down all of his crazy talk!
Zhao Yu felt that it would be harder for a crazy person to keep a secret. So, the clues about the gem might be hidden in these unintentional details.
After more than four hours, Cui Lizhu finally finished recording her confession. She told Zhao Yu everything that she could remember.
The information was more than twenty pages long, so Zhao Yu couldn't finish reading it in such a short amount of time.
So, Zhao Yu first picked up the information that Zeng Ke had found and skimmed through it.
Back then, the exhibition that was held in the capital used the most advanced security measures in the country. It could be said to be flawless and foolproof.
However, to everyone's surprise, the sapphire had disappeared without a trace. After the incident, they couldn't even find an image of the thief, let alone any clues.
The information that Zeng Ke had found was found from the internal files of the police department. The files recorded the scene of the gem being stolen in detail.
Unexpectedly, the thief, in order to steal the gem, had taken such a bold action. It was simply unbelievable and impossible to guard against.
It turned out that on the day that the gem was stolen, the security personnel of the exhibition had received an order from their superiors. It was said that, in order to strengthen the security measures, the system had to be upgraded at a certain time. The power of the exhibition hall would be automatically switched off for fifteen minutes, so that all the security personnel could leave temporarily. At that time, the silent alarm would also be triggered, so that the security personnel could ignore it.
So, the obedient security personnel followed the instructions from their superiors and left the exhibition hall as soon as the power was cut off. Even when the alarm was triggered, no one took it seriously.
In the end, the gem had disappeared in just fifteen minutes. Later, the security personnel found out that the order had not been issued by their superiors at all. They had all been fooled by the thief!
Amazing!
Amazing!
Zhao Yu admired the thief from the bottom of his heart. If the thief was really Tao Xiang, then Tao Xiang really deserved to be called the king of thieves!
