"It's snowing! It's snowing!" Ran Tao pointed outside the office window and said, "I knew it. It's so dark outside, so it's definitely going to snow!"
"The first snowfall! What a good timing!" Zhao Yu came to the window and stopped to watch. He then expressed his thoughts. "It rarely snows in Nanjiang, right? Did God purposely do this so that the Headless Female Corpses Case could be closed? "
"I don't think so, Team Leader." Zeng Ke stood next to Zhao Yu and said, "Cui Lizhu's mother got into a car accident because the road was slippery on a snowy day! From what I see, the probability of it snowing here is no less than in the north! "
"Team Leader, there's something that I don't understand." Ran Tao pondered for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Is it because Li Fei's gasoline was left there for many years, so it lost its effectiveness? I saw him pour the gasoline on himself, and you pushed him down, but … How could nothing have happened to you? It's not like he had to be burned to death, but at least he should have suffered some burns, right? "
"Motherf * cker, can't you just hope for something better?" Zhao Yu responded to the criticism with brute force, then quickly pulled out his usual excuse, "Do you know what it means to be blessed by God? To tell you the truth, I am possessed by a Luohan, so I have an indestructible body. Ordinary fire can't burn me. Why don't we have a duel and see if you can beat me? "
"Pfft …" Ran Tao stuck out his tongue and said, "I despise you!"
"Zeng Ke, come over, come over … Come over and take a photo for me!" Then, the three men heard Wu Xiumin's excited voice. They turned around and saw that Wu Xiumin was fiddling with the Tamil Star. She had already put the gemstone around her neck.
Because of the gemstone's uniqueness, the special investigation group hadn't submitted it as evidence yet. It wasn't that they had any other ideas, but that Division Chief Jiao had said so.
As the gemstone was related to diplomatic matters, Division Chief Jiao had to consult with her superiors. Only after thorough preparations were made could the gemstone necklace see the light of day again.
"So … So beautiful!" Wu Xiumin enjoyed taking photos and said in a narcissistic manner, "The Tamil Star has witnessed the rise and fall of the Indian Dynasty! This kind of opportunity is really hard to come by. If I post it on my Moments in the future, won't those bad friends of mine be jealous to death? "
After putting on all kinds of poses, Wu Xiumin took off her gemstone necklace and said to Zhao Yu, "Come on, Team Leader, we will be handing this over to the Bai Ling Evidence Department later. It's a rare opportunity, so you should take one too! In the future, when I go out and flirt with girls, I guarantee that I'll get points! "
"Cut it out!" Zhao Yu quickly waved his hands. "I'll wear it even if you beat me to death. This thing doesn't look like something auspicious. Have you noticed that those who have it don't have a good ending? I still want to live for a few more days. Take it, take it … "
"Annoying!" Wu Xiumin was naturally angry. "I took so many photos just now, and you're saying such things. You're so annoying!"
"Aiya, team leader is right! This is a cursed jewel, whoever wears it will be unlucky! " Ran Tao seized the opportunity to suppress her. "Sis Wu, you're in big trouble now. Do you want to treat us to a few drinks tonight to help you get rid of your bad luck?"
"B * stard, none of you are serious!" Wu Xiumin angrily put away the jewel and said, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to hand it over to the Evidence Department. This is a hot bomb, so don't leave it here anymore!"
"Ran Tao, Ran Tao …" Zhao Yu quickly waved his hands. "Hurry up and go with Sis Wu. You have to protect the jewel well. It's not a joke!"
"Oh, okay …" Then, Ran Tao accompanied Wu Xiumin to hand over the jewel.
"Sigh! It's just a blue stone, but there are so many obsessed people who have lost their rationality because of it! " Zhao Yu sighed, then said to Zeng Ke, "Zeng Ke, Cui Lizhu has been temporarily detained. Help me think of a way to bail her out first. Money is not a problem!
"When you write the closing report, remember to focus on Cui Lizhu and mention her more. That way, I can apply to transfer her to our team as a member of the special group!"
"Wow, okay, okay!" Zeng Ke patted his chest and said, "Leave it all to me. It's quite a refreshing feeling to be able to transfer a cat burglar to our team as a colleague! I feel that Cui Lizhu is indeed very capable in a certain aspect. In the future, when we need to retrieve something, she will definitely be of great use! "
"Okay!" Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "By the way, I just received a call from Division Chief Jiao. She said that the provincial office has arranged a banquet tonight. It's going to be a small celebration party. We all have to go. You can tell them later!"
"Okay!" After Zeng Ke agreed, he sat in front of the computer and started working.
Zhao Yu turned around and looked at the snow outside the window. Although the snow wasn't heavy, it was quite fitting for the occasion.
Li Fei's arrest and confession indicated that the Headless Female Corpses Case and the Gem Theft Case had been solved. This was the first time in the history of the Criminal Division that this had happened.
The two cases weren't low-level cases, especially the Headless Female Corpses Case, which was once known as the country's number one cold case. It had been solved for as long as 24 years!
To be able to solve such a big cold case, it was an achievement that could be recorded in the history books for Zhao Yu's special investigation group, as well as for himself.
He knew what kind of life he would have in the coming days. He would have to face all kinds of social engagements, all kinds of commendations, all kinds of awards, and all kinds of cameras …
Once the big case was exposed, it would definitely be on the news headlines and become a hot topic in the country! As the special investigation group that had solved the case, they naturally had to bear the brunt of it and shine with glory …
Actually, Zhao Yu understood that, in terms of the number of victims, the Headless Female Corpses Case wasn't that much better than Qinshan's Bank Hidden Corpses Case. In terms of the time span of the cold case, it wasn't as long as the Mianling Case either.
However, the Bank Hidden Corpses Case had happened more discreetly, so it didn't receive much attention. Hence, the police didn't want to make a big deal out of it. On the other hand, the Mianling Case was restricted to a certain area.
As for the Headless Female Corpses Case, firstly, the corpses appeared in different areas, and the victims came from different cities. Hence, the influence of the case was very wide, and almost everyone in the country knew about it.
Secondly, as the heads of the victims were cruelly cut off by the murderer, and the corpses were exposed in such a strange way, it made the case extremely eye-catching and terrifying. The fear that it caused to the public was self-evident.
In addition, with the long period of unsolved cases, the murderer was still at large. Hence, it caused many people to make up stories, which made the case so important!
Because of this, Zhao Yu was very clear that the Headless Female Corpses Case was only one of the many cold cases. Besides the super big cases recorded in Captain Jin's yellow notebook, there were definitely many similar cases in other areas.
Hence, in the future, the special investigation group that he led would definitely have a long way to go. There would be a wider stage and more difficult cases waiting for them!
…
Although the banquet was of high standards, as the case was still in the trial stage, the higher-ups kept a low profile. Only a few important higher-ups and the members of the special investigation group attended.
The dishes were all ordinary stir-fried dishes, and the wine was champagne with a low alcohol content.
At the banquet, Zhao Yu gave full play to his fine tradition. He began to boast and show off his great contributions without shame.
In addition, he also quoted Captain Jin's famous saying, "Behind every crime case, there is a liter of tears." He perfectly explained the unique views related to the case, which made the leaders feel that it was novel and refreshing. They all listened attentively and were convinced by the team leader of the special investigation team, praising him!
Division Chief Jiao nodded as she listened. She also gave Zhao Yu's ability the highest praise. Division Chief Jiao also said that she would ask the higher-ups to give Zhao Yu and the others a special reward as a form of encouragement.
At the same time, Division Chief Jiao also expressed the expectations of herself and the higher-ups of the Central Criminal Division. They hoped that the special investigation group led by Zhao Yu could continue to solve other cold cases, find out the truth, and seek justice for the victims, so that they could achieve greater achievements.
Although he knew that there was a long way to go and that there were many difficulties, the higher-ups' expectations were also Zhao Yu's original intention. He had originally come for the super big case in the yellow notebook, so he was naturally closer to his goal!
After the banquet, Zhao Yu didn't go to the hotel to rest. Instead, he drove the police car to a famous local Chinese restaurant.
