Chapter 1042 - Who’s Lying?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

While becoming more confident was definitely a plus, Zhao Yu still regretted not being able to open a hexagram and earn points or tools as rewards for completing them. After breaking such a big case, his completion rate wouldn’t be as low as the last time he opened the hexagram, right? He had managed to get 40 tools back then as a reward, this time he didn’t get a single one. How heartbreaking!

Alright. He thought. The next time I’m about to crack a case I’ll open up the hexagram. Sigh! My tools… The more Zhao Yu thought about it, the more he felt like crying.

“Hey…” Ran Tao saw the checkmark Zhao Yu drew in his notebook. “Wow, boss! You’ve solved another big case! Out of five, you’ve already done three! I think your title as Janitor will be spread far and wide!”

Ha! Janitor! The mention of this brought on a wave of sadness. If it weren’t for this nickname, he wouldn’t have attracted such a big case! It seemed Chief Jiao definitely had foresight. It was probably better to lie low and not attract so much attention.

“We are left with the Huayun Mountain Massacre Case!” Ran Tao said, pointing at the case name in the notebook. “I think this last case should be it, right? We’ll reveal the details of the Rural Cooperatives Homicide Case soon and it’ll definitely attract a lot of debate! Undoubtedly, the person behind the Mountain Massacre will kneel before you in terror once this case hits the news! Ha! At that point, we’ll all be living the good life…”

“Yeah, yeah, stop daydreaming…” Zhao Yu said. “Hey, I’m hungry. Get me some nice food!”

“Y-yes! I’ll get it this instant!” Ran Tao excitedly sprinted out of the room.

After Ran Tao left, the ward was finally quiet. It was a single bed hospital room. Looking through the door at the silhouettes standing there, Zhao Yu figured that there were guards on standby. Everything outside the window was pitch black and the cold gusts of wind could be heard through the window.

Zhao Yu drank some water and ran through the details of the case from the beginning. He was worried there would be loopholes in Cheng Lingfei’s case due to the large number of twists they encountered. Zhao Yu couldn’t help but feel restless while thinking about that vicious woman. He had solved many cases and seen many different types of criminals, but none as special as Cheng Lingfei! To be able to keep control of such a huge criminal syndicate showed her extraordinary leadership skills. She was so smart, but she, unfortunately, lacked empathy which led her down this path of no return.

Thinking back on all the old criminals – some were extremely smart, some had lost all sense of rationality, some were vicious, some were grudgeful – but Cheng Lingfei had all those traits! She was basically Satan’s reincarnate.

Zhao Yu was not as ignorant now as he had been in the past. With Cheng Lingfei, he knew that despite all the injustices she had suffered, nothing could excuse her actions. There may be a story behind every crime, but people had to take responsibility for their actions.

Zhao Yu took out his notebook and began recording what he was thinking. The first thing he would do in the morning was to get in contact with Tai Shan’s police station to check on the state of his family and arrange some professionals to check in on his friends. Cheng Lingfei had mentioned that they had installed a remote-controlled bomb at Yao Jia’s post. Although it could have been a bluff, it was better to be safe than sorry. So, he had to arrange for people to check for and dispose of these threats.

Although Cheng Lingfei had been caught, it was not guaranteed that her lackeys would refrain from doing anything. On top of requesting help from the police, Zhao Yu was planning on hiring some professional bodyguards to protect his family and friends. He had tons of money anyway, a little bit less wouldn’t hurt.

Apart from that, Zhao Yu had one more important issue to settle. This was a matter of utmost importance and had to be settled immediately. Thus, he hurriedly searched through his luggage and found his phone. This phone had been thrown onto the road when he had helped Jiang Ke escape from prison. Because the phone had GPS, the police had found the phone quickly and ran a check. Then, Ran Tao went on to investigate and managed to retrieve his phone. The battery had long since died.

After completely charging his phone, Zhao Yu turned it on and saw that his inbox was full. His WeChat was flashing and he had a bunch of missed calls. There was no time to go through them one by one. Not caring that it was late, he made a call…

Zhao Yu’s habit of saving up for a rainy day had come in handy. At eight in the morning, Miao Ying hurriedly rushed into Zhao Yu’s ward with Wu Xiumin and Zeng Ke. Everyone was excited to see their old colleague. Seeing that Zhao Yu was fine allowed them to relax. After everyone else had left, Miao Ying turned to Zhao Yu, visibly angry. “Zhao Yu, you rat b*stard! What are you hiding from me!”

“Wait, what?” Zhao Yu knew what Miao Ying was asking but acted dumb anyway. “Are you still talking about the Tai Shi Chair issue?”

“Tai your head!” Miao Ying crossed her arms angrily. “Yesterday, when Wu Xiumin interrogated Cheng Lingfei throughout the night, Cheng Lingfei said that Jiang Ke had died in the barn fire!”

Sh*t… Hearing this, Zhao Yu began to sweat.

“She said she saw Yu Sunfeng and Tu Lekai bringing Jiang Ke to the barn and them being swallowed by the flames with her own eyes! Because of that, we got in contact with the police at Yan Bian and had them verify his identity. They proved that it was indeed Jiang Ke!” Miao Ying continued, glaring at Zhao Yu. “So, why don’t you tell me exactly what happened? Either you or Cheng Lingfei must be lying!”
