The next morning, in the office of Feng Ping police station.
Li Beini looked at Zhao Yu and asked sincerely, “I’m the one who was on the night shift yesterday, and you look much worse than me. Did you stay up all night?” Li Beini was right. Zhao Yu looked pale and haggard. He hardly slept at all last night. However, his insomnia was not due to anything emotional, nor was it because of his dedication to his work, but rather, it was due to his injuries.
It turned out that Xiao Hang’s punch to Zhao Yu’s throat had been so rough that he had suffered serious, constant pain afterward. Although he had used a Respirator to ease his pain, when he lied down, he found it hard to breathe. Because of this, he sat up through most of the night. Zhao Yu would rather lie than admit that he was suffering. He said, “This is how I roll.”
Li Beini believed his words immediately. “You should take care of yourself. We are just starting off! Two months is a long time. Don’t push yourself that hard!” she said.
Zhao Yu’s throat felt itchy. He coughed and pinched it a few times, then asked, “So, is there anything new?”
“Cui told me a lot of things.” Li Beini handed a document to Zhao Yu. “You can have a look first! She’s exhausted, so I asked her to go rest!” As Li Beini finished speaking, Cui Lizhu walked in from the front door of the office. “Cui, why are you here?” Li Beni asked.
“The dormitory in the police station smells bad! I can’t stay there for one more minute.” Cui Lizhu rubbed her sleepy eyes and frowned.
“You used to be a thief. You have lived in the sewers. Why do you care that much?” Zhao Yu asked.
“But it’s not fair that you can stay in a comfortable hotel! Why don’t you let me have a room in a hotel?” Cui Lizhu pouted her lips and asked.
Zhao Yu said seriously, “I’ve told you. It’s because you are Tao Xiang’s daughter. Do you want to get kidnapped again?”
“Oh!” Cui Lizhu grabbed Zhao Yu’s shoulder and shook her head. “I don’t care, I don’t care! I want to sleep in a hotel. If you’re worried about me, I’ll share a room with you! It’s not like we haven’t done it before.” Cui Lizhu’s words caused Liu Zhanbing to lose his grip on his folder and Zhang Jingfeng to spill his coffee.
“Hey! What’s wrong with you?” Zhao Yu looked embarrassed as he scolded her. “Don’t frame me. I have made an appointment with the technical team of the Feng Ping Provincial Government today, and you must stay here until you get the locator! You’ve had a long day. Go to bed now!”
“Well…” Cui Lizhu raised her head and looked at Zhao Yu with affectionate eyes. “I can’t sleep. I want your company, just like how you used to…” she said with a soft tone.
Zhao Yu was going to lose his temper. Cui Lizhu hugged him, whispering into his ear, “Boss, lend me 500,000 yuan to pay off the management fee of the villa, and I won’t bother you anymore!” Zhao Yu finally understood her intentions. “Please! No matter what, I have to pay them off before doing anything! Please…” Cui Lizhu laughed and said, “I will return it to you in the future! With interest! If that’s not enough, I’ll sell the house to pay you!”
“You!” Zhao Yu was extremely embarrassed.
“If you don’t lend me the money… Hmm.” Cui Lizhu narrowed her eyes and said, “I’ll tell them about what happened in Jinping. I don’t think our new colleagues have heard our stories yet, have they?”
Zhao Yu frowned. “Cui, you know that those who dared to threaten me in the past are either dead or disabled, right? Do you still want to try? Or, do you want Miao Ying to practice her martial arts with you? I think she will be very happy about that!”
“You are merciless!” Cui Lizhu looked pitiable.
Zhao Yu waved and said, “Stop giving me that look. If the case is solved, you will probably get the villa back! For now, just go back to the police dormitory. When the technicians come, I will let you know!”
“How cruel you are,” Cui Lizhu whined, but there were no actual tears in her eyes.
After Cui Lizhu left, Zhang Jingfeng and others were still standing there shocked, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. “Um, Zhang…” Zhao Yu wanted to end the embarrassment as quickly as he could. “Is there any progress?” he asked.
“Oh…” Zhang Jingfeng quickly put down his coffee and took out a pile of documents. “Here is the detailed information we have on the five experts that were killed! I have informed the police of the joint investigation and asked local officers to visit them. More detailed information will be sent today!”
“Good!” Zhao Yu said, taking the files.
“Team leader!” Liu Zhanbing reported his work, saying, “We visited the place where Yang Juncheng was killed again. We found the footage from his neighborhood. There were no suspicious people or cars spotted yet. And we are going to expand the investigation scope today.”
“I heard Cui Lizhu say that the cameras in Yuan Juncheng’s neighborhood have been damaged. Is that true?” Zhao Yu asked.
“Yes, during the time Yuan Juncheng was killed, all the cameras in his neighborhood stopped working!” Liu Zhanbing replied. “According to the property management office, it’s a problem in their processing system. It didn’t take long before it was fixed. The technical team will investigate that today! If someone did it intentionally, then the possibility of a remote attack is very high.”
“Well…” Zhao Yu nodded and said, “it seems our enemy is really good!”
“Team leader, we saw a lot of cars parked downstairs at Yuan Juncheng’s building in the footage before the cameras stopped working. We are going to look for the car owners today to see if we can find anything from their dashcams,” Liu Zhanbing added.
“Good,” Zhao Yu said. “In addition to the cameras, witnesses are also very important! Talk to those who were visible in the footage and see if they know anything.”
“I will!” Liu Zhanbing left. Just as Liu Zhanbing walked to the door, he noticed a man in a jacket standing there. The man raised his arm and was about to knock on the door. He looked a little scared. Liu Zhanbing recognized him immediately and asked politely, “Hey? How are you? What are you doing here?”
With a smile on his face, the man held a folder up and explained, “I’m not here for trouble, I’m here to give you this!” The man was one of the secret service agents with Xiao Hang yesterday, and the one who suffered the least in the fight with Zhao Yu. As soon as the man arrived, the atmosphere in the office became extremely tense.
“Group leader Zhao, how are you?” The man hurried into the room and bowed slightly to Zhao Yu, but he did not dare to look directly at him. “Well, I’m here on orders from my leader to give this to you. Um, yesterday there might have been some misunderstandings between us. I hope you’ll forgive me,” he said.
Zhao Yu turned to look at the man and immediately understood his intentions. His attitude changed immediately and went up to the agent with enthusiasm. Zhao Yu shook hands with the man. “Haha, the fight just introduced us to each other. Let’s forget about that. Come on,” he said.
Seeing Zhao Yu’s friendly demeanor, the man was relieved. He quickly handed the folder to Zhao Yu and explained, “Team Leader Zhao, this is the supplementary information that my boss asked me to give you. They are all files related to the treasure! And… and… and…” The man took out a black mobile phone from his bag and said, “This is what we use in the secret service. The password is your number! There is only one number in it, and it is mine! I’ll be your liaison officer for the next few days. Group leader Zhao, I’ll do my best to help solve the case.”
Using force was the hard truth. Yesterday, the agent had been so arrogant, but after Zhao Yu beat him in the fight, he suddenly became polite. In fact, Zhao Yu had been waiting for him. Since his team got the case, he had only received a USB. He had no communication at all with the secret service and had no idea what progress they might have made in the investigation.
Zhao Yu thought the agent was coming at just the right time. He had a lot of questions that he needed to ask the man.
