"Amitabha …" Entering the restaurant, Zhao Yu shook off the snowflakes on his coat and prayed in his heart. "System bro, as a system, you have to be moral. The Headless Female Corpses Case is already over, so you have to be careful. Don't try to turn the case around! I'm really exhausted. Why don't you arrange for a few girls to come and save the damsel in distress? That way, I can relax a little. Do you understand? "
While he was praying, Zhao Yu walked to the restaurant. The decorations were luxurious and classy. The dining tables were partitioned with red high-back sofas. It was a semi-open private room.
The waiter welcomed Zhao Yu warmly, but Zhao Yu wasn't there to eat. He followed the GPS on his phone and found an empty table for four. Then, he lied that he was waiting for someone, then sat down.
There was still some time before the side adventure happened, so Zhao Yu felt that it wasn't appropriate to just sit there. So, he asked the waiter to bring him a pot of free tea.
During the banquet, although they were drinking champagne, Zhao Yu toasted left and right, and drank quite a bit. Plus, he hadn't had a good rest for the past few days, so he felt physically and mentally exhausted. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, he leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
However, the partitioning of the table couldn't keep out the uncultured diners. They were shouting and drinking loudly. Some of them were even laughing, which made Zhao Yu feel uneasy.
Helplessly, Zhao Yu took out his earphones and played a few songs on his phone. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but the first song that played on his phone was an old song from a long time ago. It was called "Big Brother."
The song was full of jianghu vibe, so Zhao Yu liked it very much. He had already memorized the lyrics. So, as soon as the familiar music started, he began to hum along with it.
"I haven't been a big brother for many years. I don't like the cold edge of the bed …"
Sigh!
As he hummed the song, Zhao Yu's thoughts inevitably returned to the Headless Female Corpses Case. Without a doubt, the murderer, Li Fei, was a real big brother. However, he was helpless and aggrieved!
Logically speaking, he was quite affectionate towards his Junior Brothers and Sisters. However, when he was at the crossroads of his life, he made the wrong choice again and again, which led to his life of misfortune and sin.
Then … did he have a choice?
Zhao Yu thought about the cause and effect seriously. He realized that Li Fei was born in a thief's den and had been abused by his master's wife since he was young. This had already caused his heart to be deformed, and it was the result of his future crimes.
Growing up in such a gloomy era, Li Fei couldn't possibly grow up healthily. He had no choice! Hence, in the end, this case was still the same as the Bank Hidden Corpse Case. There was no fair and objective judgment at all. In a case, there was only the law, no human feelings.
His and Qiu Xinyang's results were the same. As long as it was a criminal who killed people, he would not be able to escape the punishment of the law!
In the face of such a tragic crime, the only thing people could do was to pray for the progress of society to get rid of this darkness and misfortune, so that all children could grow up healthily …
Ring ring ring …
Just as Zhao Yu was listening to the song and thinking about the case, there was a sudden ringing from the partition in front of him.
Zhao Yu quickly took off his earphones and looked up. He saw that someone had accidentally dropped a wine bottle. The bottle didn't break, but instead spun like a top on the ground.
Then, a woman with long hair appeared in front of Zhao Yu. The woman must have been drunk, as she bent down and grabbed the spinning wine bottle a few times. Then, she brought it back to the table.
It can't be, right?
Although the woman only showed Zhao Yu her side profile, Zhao Yu felt that she looked very familiar. Oh … He suddenly remembered his side quest. Could it be that this side quest was because of her?!
Thinking about this, Zhao Yu carefully walked out of the partition and looked at the woman from the side. This time, he could not have seen her more clearly!
The woman was Wu Fangfang from the Gem Task Force!
Why would I meet her here?!
What a coincidence!
Is it a coincidence?
With his side quest, Zhao Yu naturally couldn't think of any coincidences. The restaurant was only one step away from the Bai Ling Police Station, so it was normal for Wu Fangfang to be there.
When Zhao Yu saw the hot-tempered woman, he remembered the grudge between the two of them. Of course, he wanted to take the opportunity to mess with her.
But … after thinking about it, he gave up on the idea.
Now that Zhao Yu knew what she had been through, his feelings towards her were no longer as hostile as before.
Thinking about it carefully, Wu Fangfang seemed to be quite admirable. She was brave enough to love and hate, but her temper was a little too bad.
Actually, by solving the two cases together, Zhao Yu had done the woman a great favor in a certain sense. After all, both of them had a deadline to find the gemstone. Now that the gemstone had been found, the Central Criminal Division couldn't find an excuse to send Wu Fangfang back to where she came from.
However, although the deadline was gone, Wu Fangfang's position was still very delicate. Her future was obviously at the most critical moment.
Once the gemstone was found, the Gem Task Force would definitely be disbanded. So, since the Central Criminal Division couldn't send Wu Fangfang back to where she came from, they would have to find something else for her to do!
But, no matter what she did in the future, because of her criminal record, Wu Fangfang would definitely be controlled and ostracized. So, her current situation wasn't very optimistic.
After the banquet, Division Chief Jiao specifically mentioned this to Zhao Yu.
In fact, the best way was for Wu Fangfang to write a resignation letter and apply to be transferred back to where she came from. This would be good for both herself and the leaders of the Central Criminal Division.
After all, Wu Fangfang had worked in the special investigation group for so many years. After she went back, as long as the leaders there let her know, it would be very easy for her to be promoted to a position such as a section chief or deputy bureau chief.
However, this stubborn woman insisted on not doing so. In her own words, she would rather be fired because she couldn't solve the case than bow her head! Never resign!
It was this sentence that changed Zhao Yu's opinion of her. In Zhao Yu's opinion, this woman's ability wasn't very impressive, but she was at least courageous.
It seems that … Zhao Yu sat back in his seat and thought to himself, It seems that Wu Fangfang came here to drink tonight for a reason.
Mm … So … Today, the system arranged for her to be in front of me. What does it mean?
Zhao Yu looked around. He didn't know if there would be a few hooligans who would come and molest Wu Fangfang, or if Wu Fangfang got drunk later, he would have to deal with the aftermath for her.
Just as Zhao Yu was looking around, a person suddenly rushed in from the main entrance. It was a young man. As soon as he entered, he ran in Zhao Yu's direction angrily.
Hey?
Zhao Yu looked up and wondered why the young man looked so familiar. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before.
In the end, before Zhao Yu could remember who he was, the young man had already strode in front of Zhao Yu. He shouted at the private room behind Zhao Yu, "What are you doing here?
