A few hours later, it was a new night.
The plane tickets that the British had booked for Miao kun and Zhao Yu were to fly from Suwa to Xiangjiang, China. The two of them needed to transfer to Xiangjiang to return to the capital.
It was less than an hour before the plane landed at Xiangjiang International Airport.
In the corner of the cabin, Miao kun looked at the night view outside the porthole, feeling a little uneasy. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then he forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart.
He turned around and saw that Zhao Yu was looking at his phone, which was still showing the information Juliet had sent him about the France oil painting murder case.
“Wow …” Miao kun squinted his eyes and said,”you’re really good at hiding your skills. Not only can you understand several foreign languages, but you can also read words, right?”
“No, no…” Zhao Yu replied without raising his head.”I was just thinking about a problem. What kind of mentality did the murderer have to commit such a crime?”
“Do you still need to ask? He’s a pervert!” Miao kun unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and took a sip.”There are also lunatics, sadistic people, mental patients …”
“The point is …” Zhao Yu pointed to a photo of the crime scene.”This person is at least an artist, right?” He was proficient in oil painting, sculpture, makeup, setting, and so on …
“I feel that such a big scene can’t be done by one person, right?
“You see … The victim’s eyes were open, and the murderer even used eyeliner on her. The murderer is definitely an artist. If we can find out the reason for his murder, we might be able to solve the case!”
“That’s enough, little Zhao!” Miao kun put away the mineral water and said seriously,”you should calm down for now! Juliet didn’t say much, and you just listened!
“Don’t be fooled by the promises of those special task force consultants and beautiful policewomen. It’s not as easy as you think to handle a case in a foreign country.
“Cultural differences, communication difficulties, and lack of authority. If you’re not careful, you’ll be played by them!
“Foreigners don’t encourage foreign monks to chant. I know what Juliet is thinking. She just wants to use your intelligence to help her rise.
“After solving the oil painting murder case, you can become famous, but the benefits she will gain will definitely be far greater than yours! Miao kun said solemnly,”don’t listen to Juliet. All the police in the world have a sense of shame!
“If you help them solve the case, they will only hate you, be jealous of you, and think that you have insulted them! If you can’t solve the case, you should know how they will belittle you and hit you when you’re down!”
“Yes … I understand!” Zhao Yu put down his phone and smiled. Although Miao kun’s words were a little exaggerated, they were true. Zhao Yu had experienced it before.
“So, kid!” Miao kun continued to lecture him,”let’s just focus on our work! You’re so outstanding, there’ll be many places in the future where you’ll need to contribute to the country!”
“Father-in-law …” Zhao Yu smiled faintly.”Do you really think that secret services would be more suitable for me?”
“I’ll only know if it’s suitable after I try!” Miao kun said,”but I personally think that you do have the potential to be a Special Agent. At least until now, you have never disappointed me. Instead, you often surprise me! Oh no, it was shock!
Miao kun looked at Zhao Yu solemnly and said,”of all the good people I’ve seen, no one could swim underwater for such a long time without any equipment. Now that I think about it … I finally understand why you didn’t drown when you jumped into the Hongming River in Yaoming!”
“Mm …” Zhao Yu lied,”I have to thank my dad. I was too poor when I was young, so my dad forced me to go into the river to catch fish. If I couldn’t catch a basket a day, he wouldn’t let me come up!”
“Zhao Yu …” Miao kun obviously didn’t want to hear Zhao Yu’s explanation, so he said,”I’ll say the same thing. Solving cases is your specialty, but it doesn’t affect your job as a detective if you join the Secret Service!”
“Let me put it this way. Actually, there are many international-level crimes that require the involvement of people with detective qualities like you! That’s much harder than solving an ordinary murder case!
“If you come over to help, I’ll definitely let you handle the tasks that are most suitable for you. I’ll definitely not force you to do things that you don’t want to do!”
“Mm …” Zhao Yu listened carefully to Miao kun’s words. He was already tempted.
“Zhao Yu, I chose you not because you are my son-in-law, but because I think that you are the same as me, the kind of person who likes challenges and is not afraid of storms!” Miao kun said with hope in his eyes,”come and help me! The Secret Service is the best platform for you to release your talents!”
“Father-in-law, I understand how you feel, and I also agree with your vision! “But there’s one thing that we can’t ignore,” Zhao Yu said seriously.”Miao Ying …”
“Tsk tsk …” At the mention of Miao Ying, Miao kun suddenly felt awkward. I know that this girl is very competitive. Before I met you, she always wanted to participate in the special Agent trial.
“Let’s be honest,” Miao kun said, shaking his head and sighing.”It’s not that I’m trying to protect her. I’m afraid that she’ll be in danger. But … Ying Ying, that child, was too brave and fierce, but lacked a strategy. She couldn’t take on great responsibilities!
“Special agents and hitmen are different. Success and failure aren’t determined by force. In special times, we often need to be flexible!” “Only shameless people like us are more suitable,” Miao kun said.
“What the …” Zhao Yu was speechless.”Are you complimenting me or insulting me?”
“That’s what I meant!” Miao kun said,”we’re a family now, so I shouldn’t have dragged you down with me for the sake of my daughter’s happiness. But … I can’t bear to bury your talent when I see how talented you are and how you’re a rising star in the Secret Service agency …”
Zhao Yu blushed and quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead.”Father-in-law, you’re so eloquent!”
“I, Zhao Yu, admit defeat, alright! There’s a saying in the martial arts world,”recognize a hero and value a hero.” Since father-in-law thinks so highly of me, then it’s not appropriate for me to pretend to be stupid!” Zhao Yu cupped his fists and said,”after we get back, help me apply for a transfer order!”
“Oh, really? That’s great! That’s great!” Miao kun was overjoyed. He patted Zhao Yu’s shoulder and said,”how about this? When we get back, I’ll apply for a transfer request for you. You can come to the Secret Service agency and see if you’re suitable for the job. Then, you can make your own decision!”
“That would be for the best, but … I have a request!” Zhao Yu’s eyes were shining as he asked,”can you arrange a trial training for me first?
“For example, professional combat skills, the use of advanced equipment and weapons, and other aspects. I want to make up for my own qualifications first before taking up the job!”
“Waa!” Miao kun was surprised and immediately gave him a thumbs up.”It’s rare for you to be able to clearly realize your own shortcomings,” he said, praising her. I’ve already said that you, Zhao Yu, are not an ordinary person!
“Good! This was easy to talk about, easy to talk about! When we get back, I’ll get the best special training instructor, Yingying, to give you some guidance!”
“En!” Zhao Yu nodded sincerely.
Buzz … Buzz …
Suddenly, there was a vibration in Miao kun’s pocket. It was the mobile phone he had bought at Fiji airport.
There was no signal on the plane, but there was WiFi. Miao kun must have received a message.
“Mm …” Miao kun smiled unnaturally, then quickly picked up his mobile phone and said to Zhao Yu,”it should be that our flight tickets from Xiangjiang to the capital have been booked!” I’m going to the toilet …”
After that, Miao kun got up and left for the bathroom.
Zhao Yu squinted his eyes and sneered.
