8pm.
On the fast-moving high-speed train, Zhao Yu had just hung up the phone from Miao Ying.
"How's it going?" Cui Lizhu asked lazily next to her, "Did Miss Miao scold you so much again?"
"You're kidding!" Zhao Yu said calmly, "You don't know my cat very well! Just now, when I told her everything that happened, she kept praising me and praising me. A model in the criminal investigation world and a role model among the elites of the police force. In order to investigate the truth and give justice to the victims, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own time and energy. He is noble and sentimental... Hmm... "
After seeing Cui Lizhu roll her eyes for 10 seconds, Zhao Yu shrugged his shoulders and admitted: "Okay, you guessed it right! I just got scolded like crazy! Are you satisfied?" "
"Tch!" Cui Lizhu became even more lazy and picked up a bottle of drink and took a few sips.
"Actually, Miao Ying scolded me for two reasons: First, she was worried about my safety!" Zhao Yu found a way for herself, "Second, she was angry that I, an old driver, didn't take her with me! She wanted to follow her too much We solved the case together, but it’s a pity that she can’t leave Gao Lanqi’s case!”
"Hmph!" Cui Lizhu snorted coldly, "Let me give you two more reasons! Third, you have set up a new special team to set up your own business and start an uprising. Will she feel better? Last point, This is also the most critical point. After all, Miss Miao still doesn’t want to see you getting too close to me! You will be engaged in June! At this time, she definitely doesn’t want to... "
"Don't talk nonsense, I know Miaomiao, she is not that hypocritical!" Zhao Yu said confidently, "If she couldn't trust me, the two of us wouldn't be able to get to where we are today. You don't understand at all. We used to What happened? That's called the passion of life and death, it's unbreakable! You won't understand that kind of tacit understanding without personal experience! So..." Zhao Yu spoke seriously and without shame, "It's useless for you to seduce me. I'm determined. It’s impossible to be tempted by you!”
"Fuck you, don't you think your sense of self-superiority is disgusting? If I had that intention, I would have dealt with you long ago! I... um..." Cui Lizhu hugged Zhao Yu's shoulders and said seriously, "I just treat you as the boss!"
"Well, that's right!" Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction. Feeling that Cui Lizhu's arms were too sticky, he reached out and pushed her.
quack…
In an instant, several crows flew by. Cui Lizhu's face turned red. She quickly picked up the drink and drank it all.
Damn it!
Zhao Yu was also embarrassed enough that he hurriedly moved out a little and whistled mischievously.
Since the return rush hour had passed, there were not many passengers on the high-speed train from the capital to Fengping. Looking around, half of the carriages were empty.
"By the way, boss, do you know the person assigned to you?" After a moment of silence, Cui Lizhu asked, "Why do you feel so awkward before you even see the person?"
"I don't know him!" Zhao Yu said, "The so-called team leader is from the Foreign Affairs Office! I asked Ma Runkui and he said that he is a good person. He used to be in charge of Japanese and Korean affairs all year round. He can speak 7 languages and is a top student. .”
"Hmph!" Cui Lizhu complained, "What's the use of knowing 100 foreign languages? We are solving crimes. Isn't this a typical layman leading an expert? I think he came here to get gold plating because of your Detective Zhao, right?"
"I don't know the specific situation. I can only tell you after I see him!" Zhao Yu sighed, "He is rushing back from abroad now. If possible, we may be able to meet him tomorrow! By then, my people will also It’s almost here!”
"I don't understand..." Cui Lizhu shook her head, "How can the case we want to investigate involve diplomatic disputes? Could it be that... these five people were all killed by foreign spies?"
"It's hard to say!" Zhao Yu also shook his head, "Think about it, if the death of these five people is really related to the treasure, it is still very possible! Russia and Japan may be involved. This kind of thing, It’s hard to say! So the above precautions make sense.”
"Oh..." Cui Lizhu looked around alertly and whispered, "If that's really the case, then we have to be especially careful!"
"That's natural!"
Zhao Yu looked at the monitoring screen of the system in his mind. Ever since the "Kundui" hexagram was revealed, he had turned on the invisible detector early and was always alert to the disturbance around him.
"But..." Zhao Yu said again, "I have a doubt that I haven't figured out yet! Your father Tao Xiang didn't indicate in his notebook how he got the names of the 16 people! He found it out bit by bit on his own. ? Or did he obtain it through some channel
"If you think about it carefully, if the five people behind were murdered, would the murderer have something to do with your father?"
"Hmm... Well..." Cui Lizhu frowned and thought deeply, "You mean, there are others who have the same list as my father?"
"It's possible, but these are just assumptions!" Zhao Yu exhaled and said, "We can't draw any conclusions before we get definite evidence."
"Yes, maybe, the death of those five people was just a coincidence! If it is really a coincidence, then wouldn't all our efforts have been in vain?" Cui Lizhu said helplessly, "In the end, the treasure will not be ours to investigate, and my big house will be gone. It’s all such joy!”
"Having said that, but..." Zhao Yu said softly, "Based on my experience, this kind of coincidence is almost zero!"
"Oh? Why?" Cui Lizhu's eyes widened suddenly.
"Because the order of death of these five people is exactly the same as on the list!" Zhao Yu said, "The one at the top of the list died earliest, and the last one died at the latest. They died completely in the order of the list! Plus The deaths occurred within a short period of time, and they all died of the same disease. Calculated this way, the coincidence rate is simply zero!"
"Oh! So, you were sure early on that the deaths of these five people were not accidents!" Cui Lizhu pointed at Zhao Yu, "Wow, you didn't tell me earlier. No wonder you went there before the case was investigated. I went to apply for permission from the Criminal Department! It turns out you already knew something!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded, "If we want to find out this case, we should do it in reverse order! Yuan Juncheng is the last person on the list and the last one to die. The shorter the time, the more we can find out. There will be more clues. So, this time we go to Fengping and start with this person!"
