Zhao Yu said to the man, “You must be joking! How can I plan a prison break in ten minutes? Do you know where I am?”
When he heard the words ‘prison break’, Jiang Ke looked surprised.
“Hmmm…” The man on the phone laughed and said, “Of course it isn’t possible for ordinary people! But for a famous detective like yourself, it’s not a big deal! I look forward to seeing what you can do.”
Zhao Yu said helplessly, “Don’t think that I’m capable of everything. I’m not God. I can help Jiang Ke escape, but you have to give me more time!”
The mysterious man said playfully, “Zhao Yu, I hope you understand that I don’t make the rules! In ten minutes, the class is over, and they will go to the playground. At that time, anything can happen. Ten minutes is all the time I can give you. No, to be exact, nine minutes and forty-five seconds, forty-four seconds, forty-three seconds…”
Zhao Yu sighed helplessly. “Ten minutes is fine…”
The mysterious man said in satisfaction, “Give Jiang Ke the phone so he can hear my instructions.”
Zhao Yu took a look at Jiang Ke and gave him the phone. Jiang Ke took the phone and put it to his ear.
“Um… Um… Understood… Understood…” Jiang Ke nodded repeatedly as he listened to the boss’s instructions. He seemed extremely nervous.
Zhao Yu looked at Jiang Ke quietly and thought about how to deal with the situation. Since this invisible enemy dared to threaten him, he had to be prepared. The police couldn’t track his location, so Zhao Yu couldn’t make any bold moves.
Jiang Xiaoqing was far away in Qinshan. Even if Zhao Yu could send a message to Miao Ying, Miao Ying wouldn’t be able to reach Qinshan in time. If Zhao Yu contacted the Qinshan Police Station, they might be able to come to the school in time. That was a risk Zhao Yu was just not prepared to take. He couldn’t afford to risk Jiang Xiaoqing’s life on a bet. He had to think of a better way.
After receiving instructions from the man on the phone, Jiang Ke put on his Bluetooth headset, pointed the phone camera at Zhao Yu, and said, “Detective Zhao, give me your phones!”
Jiang Ke eagerly urged. “You don’t want to waste any more time, do you? Give me your phones and unlock them!”
“Alright…” Zhao Yu unlocked both phones and handed them to Jiang Ke.
Jiang Ke listened to the man’s instructions, opened an app on Zhao Yu’s phone, and started scanning Zhao Yu. The phone immediately set off an alarm.
Jiang Ke waved his hand and said, “You know what I’m doing, right?”
Seeing Jiang Ke waving his hand, Zhao Yu smiled helplessly. Only then did he understand their intention. Zhao Yu’s phone had an electronic scanning app that could detect electronic devices such as locators. They were very thorough!
Zhao Yu’s watch had a mini locator specially designed by the Criminal Division. Seeing Jiang Ke waving at him, Zhao Yu had to take off his watch. After Zhao Yu removed his watch, Jiang Ke scanned Zhao Yu again, and the sound stopped.
Jiang Ke nodded and said, “Detective Zhao, it’s showtime! Have you devised a plan yet?”
Zhao Yu said, “Of course!”
Zhao Yu smiled and took out his gun. He removed the bullets and put the gun on the table. He said to Jiang Ke, “Now I will unlock your handcuffs and ankle shackles. Then you will point this gun against my head!”
Jiang Ke laughed. “Detective Zhao, are you still in a joking mood? How many snipers are surrounding this building? Don’t you know that if I point this gun at your head, I’ll be shot before I get out of the door?”
Zhao Yu said, “Well, it seems that you’re not a fool after all!”
Zhao Yu shook his head and said to the phone camera fiercely, “I don’t understand. If you are worried that Jiang Ke will tell us your secrets, why don’t you let me shoot him right now? If Jiang Ke dies, you will have nothing else to worry about. Why take that risk?”
When Jiang Ke heard this, his face turned pale, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After several seconds, he said regarding the mysterious man, “Zhao Yu, don’t start trouble. You don’t understand our relationship at all!”
With that, Jiang Ke slapped the table viciously and said with a threatening tone, “Detective Zhao, you don’t have much time! If anything happens to me, or if I don’t get out in time, you’ll lose your niece!”
Zhao Yu pretended to be nervous and said, “OK. I’ll do whatever you want.” In addition to stirring up mistrust between them, Zhao Yu also wanted to know if the mysterious caller was the boss that Han Kuan mentioned. Jiang Ke’s nervousness convinced him that the mysterious man was the real boss! Han Kuan saw through Jiang Ke. Jiang Ke was indeed just a puppet obeying orders from someone else!
However, time was pressing right now. Zhao Yu had no time to think. He stood up and said to the mysterious man, “I’ve finally figured out what your plan is!”
Zhao Yu gave a bitter laugh, and said, “You killed Wu Fangfang, gave us Yang Zebiao’s DNA, and the photos of Wu Fangfang and Jiang Ke together. You have a clear motive for every step!”
Jiang Ke asked in surprise, “Is Wu Fangfang dead?”
Maybe the mysterious man stopped him as Jiang Ke quickly fell silent. From Jiang Ke’s reaction, Zhao Yu confirmed that he must have known Leader Wu.
Zhao Yu hid his surprise and went on. “You’ve thought about this prison break for some time, haven’t you? You’ve made a lot of effort. Brilliant!”
Jiang Ke reminded Zhao Yu, “Detective Zhao, there are less than six minutes left. If you still want to talk trash, I’m afraid you won’t have much time left.”
Zhao Yu gave Jiang Ke an angry look. Then he stood up, put away the gun and bullets, and said seriously, “You want to see a show? Well, the show will begin now!”
Zhao Yu took a deep breath and messed up his hair. Suddenly he opened the door of the interrogation room and shouted at Wang Can with an anxious look, “Wang Can! Wang Can! Come here quickly! This is serious!”
