Zhao Yu’s flight arrived at Yaoming airport at 2:15 a.m., right on time. As the Criminal Division had already made arrangements for them in advance, the local police station had a special bus that was waiting to pick them up the moment that Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu got off the plane.
The local police would also assist them in the follow-up investigation. Because it was still dark, the police officers at the station sent them directly to their hotel to rest for a bit.
Of course, Zhao Yu wouldn’t stay with Cui Lizhu in the same room, and after checking in and going upstairs, they went to different rooms to rest. After all, Zhao Yu knew himself well. If Cui Lizhu really tried to seduce him, he was worried that he might not be able to stay loyal and honest!
Yaoming was a big city with a developed economy. As such, the four-star hotel they were staying in was 100 times better than the hotels in the Golden City.
As he was lying on the soft and comfortable bed, Zhao Yu felt that he could finally have a good sleep. But, before going to bed, one thing that was still weighing on his heart was the Kun Li hexagram that he had opened yesterday. At this time, there was still no update for the hexagram.
If the side adventure didn’t end, he could not open a new hexagram. However, he did not quite understand why yesterday’s side adventure didn’t end. He couldn’t help but wonder… Does this mean that I am right about the case? Or… Will something happen later?
With this in mind, Zhao Yu quickly locked the door from the inside. He was afraid that Cui Lizhu might try to sneak into his bed in the middle of the night.
However, after locking the door, Zhao Yu laughed at himself. He felt that it was hilarious that he was afraid of a tiny female thief! Moreover, her going along with him for this investigation had been Miao Ying’s idea!
After lying in bed for quite some time, yet still not falling asleep, Zhao Yu turned on his mobile phone and took a look at it. Because Miao Ying’s flight didn’t take off at the same time as his, they should not have arrived at Beiqian yet. So, instead of calling her, he sent Miao Ying a message to let her know that he had arrived safely in Yaoming.
As he looked at Miao Ying’s image on his phone, Zhao Yu was slightly worried about her. He wondered if Miao Ying’s trip was going smoothly.
He also wondered if they had already made any progress in the Devil Case. Of course, he didn’t yet know if he and Cui Lizhu would find any important clues on their end.
After that, Zhao Yu made plans for tomorrow, specifically on how he would conduct the investigation. As he saw that the system still did not have any updates for him, he fell asleep, utterly exhausted.
The next morning, although he had set the alarm for 7 o’clock, he woke up at 6:30. When he turned on his phone, a message alerting him that Miao Ying and the others had arrived at Beiqian appeared on his Wechat. However, unlike Zhao Yu, Miao Ying and the others had to travel overnight to Changfeng, so they had no chance to rest.
By this time, they should have arrived at Zhang Jingru’s school and begun looking for clues. Now that they had started, he could not fall behind! Thinking of this, Zhao Yu quickly sent Cui Lizhu a text message, asking her to get up. Then, he went to the bathroom.
He had just turned on the tap, when he found that yesterday’s Kun Li hexagram had been completed! He quickly checked the history records and found that he got a high 189% score, as well as eight first-class devices, including the Invisible Bone Setting Device!
He was quite confused about these results. There were no special events yesterday, and Cui Lizhu didn’t come to his room. So, he had to wonder… Why did the side adventure not end earlier, so that I could open a new hexagram?
Zhao Yu didn’t have much time now, but the satisfying side adventure result and his new eight devices boosted Zhao Yu’s confidence greatly. He felt like he had made the right choice in coming to Yaoming.
At that moment, he made up his mind to make a great effort to find key clues to the case as soon as possible, so that he could crack the Devil Case! Thinking about this, Zhao Yu did not even wash his face before he quickly opened a new hexagram.
However, Zhao Yu was shocked and froze on the spot when he saw the new hexagram. This time, in the center of the system’s interface, there appeared two big characters… Kun Gen!
No way! What’s wrong with it? Zhao Yu wondered. He had anticipated opening a Gen hexagram, but he could never have imagined that there would be a Kun hexagram in front of the Gen hexagram!
Why? This… This Devil Case is too strange! I’ve just arrived in Yaoming, and I haven’t even gone to Beiqian!
Zhao Yu frowned. He thought that he and Cui Lizhu were only here to find more clues and related information to the case. So, he had to wonder… Why would a Kun hexagram suddenly appear? As a Kun hexagram represented a major event, he felt uneasy.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu was scared by the thought that he could possibly meet Han Kuan’s accomplice today. Then, as he wondered whether he would run into Han Kuan’s accomplice, who was also a murderer of the Devil Case, he began to worry that he and Cui Lizhu would be in danger.
If that’s the case, I have to make be prepared and stay vigilant today. I mustn’t be fooled by anything or anyone! With this in mind, Zhao Yu quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face.
Soon he was ready to start his workday. However, during this time, he was still panicked and nervous. Now, he that had escalated to horror… He was truly horrified by the Devil Case!
After he washed his face, he suddenly thought of another thing and couldn’t help but feel excited. This was because, according to his past experience, a hexagram that represented a big event often resulted in a major breakthrough, which would benefit him a lot in solving this case.
So, maybe I will have a very big harvest today! Thinking about this, he rushed out of the bathroom and took out his notebook to write down this side adventure.
According to the system’s instructions, today’s side adventure would take place in Yaoming. However, the exact location was not the city center, but a remote suburban area. The time for the side adventure was 4:29 p.m..
Suddenly, Zhao Yu felt that his brain couldn’t work efficiently enough to even think correctly. In the past, it was always the same way. If he wanted to know the meaning of the side adventure, he had to first experience it personally.
Systems master, I just came to this strange place… Can you just let me take a breath first? What will happen to me today? Zhao Yu sighed as he pondered the day to come.
