“Dear passengers, the flight to Yaoming City in the Tongjiang Province is about to take off…” A sweet voice could be heard over the speakers, but Zhao Yu did not hear it.
This was because he was currently talking on his phone, “Yes… I saw Jiang Ke’s arm. The photos might have been taken by him. But, we can’t say for sure that there are only two of them!”
Zhao Yu then continued, “Zeng Ke, you are a tech man. Pay more attention to the shadows on the floor, the reflection in the mirror, and so on. See if there are other people! Also, pay attention to the background of the photos! You can’t miss any details! If we can find out where the photos were taken, the case would become so much simpler! And… I have a way…”
Before Zhao Yu could finish speaking, a stewardess suddenly came up to him and said, “Excuse me, sir, but the plane is about to take off. Please turn off your mobile phone for takeoff.”
Zhao Yu had no time to explain to the stewardess the importance of this phone call, so he said hurriedly into his phone, “Show the photos to everyone who knows Wu Fangfang, especially her family! I know this is cruel, but don’t forget that we are trying to solve the case!”
“Sir…” the stewardess warned him once more.
“And…” Zhao Yu added quickly into the phone, “Do as I told you before, just like when we were in Beiqian. When I come back, I must see the detailed information of everyone related to the case!”
“Sir… The flight…” the stewardess urged him again.
“Okay…” Zhao Yu finally turned off his phone, then looked up to the beautiful stewardess with his signature smile and said, “Miss, you are beautiful. Would you mind giving me your number? I know several directors who make movies. Do you want to…? Hey… Miss…”
Before Zhao Yu could finish trying to flatter her, the stewardess stomped away in a bad mood. At this moment, he was sitting in the first class cabin of the plane.
Two bodyguards, who had been assigned by the Criminal Division, were sitting next to him. These two men had broad shoulders, strong muscles, and intimidating faces. They actually looked kind of like gangsters!
Zhao Yu put his phone back into his pocket and finished his coffee. Then, he lay back in his comfortable and soft seat, finally getting a chance to rest.
However, although he was reclining, his brain was still working madly. From the very beginning, Zhao Yu felt this was a difficult case, which is why he had activated an Invisible Detector in order to keep an eye on all possible dangers around him.
Fortunately, he had not found that anyone was following him or any explosives or dangerous articles in the detector’s monitoring screen yet. As such, he thought he might have been overthinking things and worrying too much about himself. Perhaps, the target of this case was not him at all!
Zhao Yu looked at his watch. It was about 3 a.m. The plane would arrive in Yaoming City in two hours.
He had contacted the local police in advance, so directly after Zhao Yu arrived, a person would bring Jiang Ke to him for an interrogation. Other than Zhao Yu, it would be nearly impossible for someone to arrange an interrogation with Jiang Ke, as he was now a major criminal offender.
After a slight jolt, the plane took off smoothly. Zhao Yu gave a big yawn, signaling that it was indeed the time for rest.
However, although he was exhausted, as the minute that he closed his eyes, several cases appeared in his mind, including myriad clues, evidence, and suspects.
Zhao Yu was uncomfortable with uncertainties. He believed that some clues had close relations with each other, but was unable to pinpoint how as of yet.
In fact, Zhao Yu had even thought about Miao Ying’s theory before. Although that could explain some things, many questions still remained.
Leader Wu was from a rich family. So, she had no reason to rob a rural cooperative. Besides, 800,000 yuan was not a huge sum for her at all.
He then wondered… What about Jiang Ke? Was the Ziliu Case planned by Jiang Ke?
Jiang Ke was just as famous a thief as Tao Xiang. He was a master of stealing things and often made the police look like fools.
So… Maybe he committed the Ziliu Case, and later, Leader Wu found some piece of key evidence that implicated him!
As he thought of this possibility, Zhao Yu also wondered… So, does that mean that he then threatened her by taking her nude photos? So… Does Leader Wu have nothing to do with the Ziliu Case?
However, after a while, Zhao Yu shook his head and did not give much credence to this idea. One reason for this was that Jiang Ke was too young at that time.
At the time of the Ziliu Case, he was only 22 years old and had just graduated from a Yaoming local oil technical school. Whoever he became later, he was only a graduate at that time.
The possibility that Han Kuan later turned from a graduate into a murderous demon was not something that Zhao Yu was ruling out. But, he didn’t believe that a graduate could become an experienced thief.
After all, Zhao Yu studied crimes for a living, and he knew that Jiang Ke, as an infamous thief, was extremely smart and had a wide range of contacts. All of this took him a long time to achieve. At the time that the Ziliu Case took place, Jiang Ke was not the notorious thief that he is now.
Apart from that, Zhao Yu had read Jiang Ke’s criminal record before, and as Jiang Ke said himself, he mainly relied on his brain rather than physical force to accomplish his goals, unless there were no other alternatives. In many of his crimes, he used drugs or stun guns to knock out the victims, but did not kill them. Therefore, the Ziliu Case was simply not his style.
Of course, these two points couldn’t rule out the possibility that Jiang Ke was involved in the Ziliu Case. However, Zhao Yu always felt that even if Jiang Ke really had participated in the case, he was not necessarily the one who had actually killed the victims!
Therefore, there might be some others that were closely related to the case, but who were still unknown to Zhao Yu. So, understandably, interrogating Jiang Ke was a matter of great importance to Zhao Yu. If he could get useful information from Jiang Ke, he might feel more confident about being able to solve the case.
But, how can I get a smart person like him to tell me all that I want to know? As he was thinking about this, Zhao Yu searched his Miracle System and tried to get a suitable device to use.
At that moment, he clicked on the interface, but he still couldn’t open a hexagram yet. Annoyed by this, Zhao Yu quickly clicked on the hexagram function.
Unexpectedly, this time, the system responded immediately, and a new hexagram opened up. It was a new combination that he had never seen before, a Kun Qian hexagram!
