“What’s wrong?” Officer Wang came over to Cui Lizhu and asked with concern after seeing her drop the cup lid in shock. “Are you okay?”
Cui Lizhu then asked, “Is it an oil school? Or… A technical school?”
“What?” Officer Wang didn’t know about Han Kuan’s case, so he naturally was confused.
He paused for a few seconds before asking, “Are you talking about Cui Xiaolong and Jiang Ke? If so, then it’s probably an oil school.”
“So…” Cui Lizhu turned to Zhao Yu and asked, “If Jiang Ke and Cui Xiaolong were classmates who lived in the same dormitory, Jiang Ke must know Han Kuan?”
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and frowned.
“Wait… Who is Han Kuan?” Officer Wang was still puzzled.
Then, he suddenly remembered something and said, “Oh, by the way, Captain Jin is okay. His operation was very successful. So, you don’t have to worry about him!”
“It’s no wonder that Jiang Ke used Cui Xiaolong’s car repair shop to hide his loot! It turns out that they were classmates.” Cui Lizhu then turned to Zhao Yu and said, “Boss! If Jiang Ke and Han Kuan were classmates and roommates, although Cui Xiaolong is dead, Jiang Ke…”
“Yes!” Zhao Yu nodded again and spoke before she even finished her sentence.
He then turned to Officer Wang and said, “Officer Wang, I’m going to meet Jiang Ke now!”
“What!” Cui Lizhu was stunned and quickly reached out to stop him. “Boss, it is midnight and you just had your operation. Is that really necessary?”
Zhao Yu didn’t answer her question, but instead asked her, “Well… Can you have Jiang Ke come to meet me here then?”
“Um… This…” Cui Lizhu hesitated, while looking at Officer Wang. Neither of them knew what to say.
“Hurry up!” Zhao Yu reached out to Cui Lizhu and said, “Help me get dressed!”
He then turned to Officer Wang and asked, “Well… Why are you just waiting there? Don’t you want to be my student?”
“Oh… ” Officer Wang said quickly, “I… I’ll go ask the doctor!”
Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, “No! If you do that and he says no, we won’t be able to leave the hospital. Hurry up! After I am done with Jiang Ke, I will come right back.”
Officer Wang nodded. Although he was sweating profusely and seemed very nervous about this plan, he had to admire Zhao Yu’s dedication to his work.
An hour later, Officer Wang helped Zhao Yu into a wheelchair, then brought him to the interrogation room at the Yaoming Police Station. When they got there, they saw a very tired Jiang Ke, who was lying on the interrogation table, fast asleep.
Hearing the noise of their arrival, Jiang Ke raised his head and saw Zhao Yu in the wheelchair. Jiang Ke was surprised by this, so he asked Zhao Yu, “What happened? You were fine earlier today!”
Zhao Yu laughed, then, after Officer Wang pushed his wheelchair over to Jiang Ke, Zhao Yu asked, “Don’t you understand? I was trying to shield your feelings. If you knew that only one of my legs were usable when I caught you, I knew that you probably couldn’t bear the humiliation!”
Jiang Ke clapped with his hands, which were in handcuffs, and his eyes shone with excitement as he said, “Interesting! For the first time in so many years, it seems that I’ve met my match! You are indeed a tough opponent! Who are you exactly? I can’t think of any other person like you in the entire police force!”
“Oh? I’m flattered!” Zhao Yu smiled with pride, then got straight to the point as he asked, “Okay, buddy, I’ll speak plainly. I have come here directly after my operation. So, you have to show me some sincerity.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha…” Jiang Ke laughed as he patted the table, then said, “Dude, don’t get too complacent because you caught me. I told you that I’m playing with my brain. I don’t like violence. Besides, even though you, a presently disabled man, caught me, so what?”
Zhao Yu smiled wickedly, then pointed to his neck and said with a gloomy look on his face, “I’m the opposite of you. I don’t like to use my brain. I like beating people up and strangling them!”
Seeing Zhao Yu’s crazed look, Jiang Ke narrowed his eyes and touched the scar on his neck, but a tight smile remained on his face. Then, Jiang Ke’s eyes revealed his evil thoughts as he said, “Okay… As long as you tell me how you saw through my plan, I’ll tell you everything you want to know!”
“It’s that simple?” Zhao Yu scratched his head and showed an evil smile, wondering if he could really trust his words. “That’s not complicated at all. The fact is, it’s not that I saw through your plan, it’s just that you’re unlucky!”
Jiang Ke looked at Zhao Yu, then asked, “What do you mean?”
“To tell you the truth, I didn’t come for you, but for Cui Xiaolong. He was involved in another case I’m working on,” Zhao Yu said. “I went to the shop to find Cui Xiaolong, but I didn’t know that he was with you, nor did I know that you were committing a robbery together! Isn’t that a crazy coincidence?”
Jiang Ke shook his head and laughed. “I thought you were a cool person, but you were lying to my face! I don’t understand. You’ve got me now. Why are you afraid of telling me the truth? What other secrets are you keeping?”
Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, and finally understood what he meant. He laughed and quickly said, “Jiang Ke, what do you want me to say? Do you think that one of your men is our guy?”
Jiang Ke smiled and said, “Save yourself some effort. When you three drove to the shop in the police car, I heard what you said on the phone about the well and the underwater transport. Obviously, you are coming for us. You have already known my plan!”
Only then did Zhao Yu understand why they shot Captain Jin so suddenly when they were in the shop. In fact, if they did not shoot him at that time, Captain Jin might have left.
Zhao Yu pondered this for a moment, then said, “You said that you were playing with your brain! So, if we already know your plan, why would we be so silly as to drive a police car to the shop instead of coming there with armed forces?”
Jiang Ke grinned and nodded, then said, “You are right. I just can’t understand one thing… How did you know that I was in the shop?”
Zhao Yu didn’t expect Jiang Ke to be so stubborn and insist upon knowing so many details. He tried to organize his thoughts, then asked, “Don’t you know that there is always something that can only be explained by coincidence? Why don’t you believe that I went to the shop to find Cui Xiaolong and just got lucky to find you?”
Zhao Yu then said, “But, when we got to the shop, the policemen who were investigating the robbery called me. So, I gave them a little guidance and helped them find out how you use the well to transport the loot. I didn’t even know that you were listening to me in the shop upstairs. After all, isn’t that a coincidence?”
Hearing this, Jiang Ke couldn’t remain calm any longer, and he said indignantly, “You didn’t even go to the scene of the robbery! You just got a phone call? You are saying that a phone call ruined my whole plan? Are you kidding me?”
“Believe it or not… Yes!” Zhao Yu admitted. “When I heard that someone had robbed a container truck in broad daylight and stolen so many cigarettes, I immediately thought that you wouldn’t transport the stolen cigarettes by vehicles because that is so noticeable and you are not stupid. I knew that you must have made a more thorough plan.”
Zhao Yu said, “And… I knew that the reason why you dared to drive the cars on the highway was that the cigarette weren’t in the cars. You were not afraid that the police would catch you. Moreover…”
Before Zhao Yu could finish speaking, Jiang Ke suddenly interrupted him and said, “I know who you are now! You are Zhao Yu, the man who solved the Headless Female Corpses Case!”
