Crazy Detective

Zhao Yu was also surprised that Officer Wang, who had been talking to over the phone, was such a handsome man! Even Cui Lizhu, who always thought so highly of herself, couldn’t help but observe Officer Wang in secret, admiring his good looks.

After they shook hands with each other, Officer Wang smiled and said with a worried look, “I just came from the operating room. Captain Jin is still in surgery. We don’t know how he is doing now.”

He shook his head, then continued his update, “He was hit by several bullets, so the outcome of the operation remains unknown. Moreover, the doctor just told me that this operation would take at least 10 hours! I hope that Captain Jin will survive…”

Zhao Yu nodded slightly. He was also worried about Vice Captain Jin. Although Vice Captain Jin had technically been shot by the robbers, Zhao Yu had to be honest and admit that the whole reason that he was involved in all of this was because of Zhao Yu.

As he thought of this, Zhao Yu felt sorry for the man, as well as somewhat guilty for bringing him into this. He really hoped that his surgery was successful.

“What a tragedy!” Cui Lizhu poured a glass of water for Zhao Yu and sighed. “Boss, this policemen stuff is really dangerous! In fact, if those guys hadn’t been such bad shooters, I would be dead right now!”

“Shut up!” Zhao Yu said softly in order to stop Cui Lizhu from talking nonsense in front of Officer Wang.

“Um… Miss investigator… Are you not with the police?” Officer Wang was somewhat confused by her words.

Cui Lizhu rolled her eyes and sighed. She then picked her words more carefully and said, “It seems that we are really unlucky. We just went there to talk to a possible witness. How could we know that there would be a robbery? Moreover… The robber was Jiang Ke!”

“Yes, it’s true. No one expected for this to happen!” Officer Wang said earnestly. “The only reason that we could catch Jiang Ke was because of Leader Zhao’s help. If it had been anyone else, I’m afraid that Jiang Ke’s plan just might have succeeded. Leader Zhao, thank you so much!”

Officer Wang then said, “Today was really eye-opening. It’s no wonder that Leader Zhao was able to solve the Headless Female Corpses Case in the past. I have learned a lot from you today!”

“Oh, I’m so flattered!” Zhao Yu said, clearly very proud of himself.

“I’m not just flattering you… Really!” Officer Wang said sincerely. “If you hadn’t seen through Jiang Ke’s plan in advance, we would all have been fooled by him! He really is ruthless!”

He shook his head, then added, “Last year, at least from what we know, he committed four major crimes. Not only could we not catch him at that time, but we couldn’t find any clues at all! Ironically, after the robbery at Huayun Port, we didn’t even know what exactly he had stolen!”

He then concluded by saying, “Well… At least now Jiang Ke has finally been caught by Leader Zhao. We can finally uncover the truth behind all of the mysteries about him. It was a good day indeed!” Officer Wang said.

“Um… So… Where is Jiang Ke now?” Zhao Yu gently pointed to his neck and asked, “Did he make it?”

Officer Wang nodded and said, “He can speak now, so he is being interrogated as we speak. Again, I just have to say… You’re incredible! You took him down barehanded, right? And… Jiang Ke had a stun gun!”

“Let’s not talk about the gun right now…” Cui Lizhu said with a long face. “Jiang Ke was not acting alone. He had a strong, secret force behind him. This is why he never failed before now. So… You have to send more people here for added security!”

“Rest assured!” Officer Wang said. “This room is being heavily guarded! No matter how powerful those people behind him are, no one would dare to come to the police station and try anything!”

Cui Lizhu shook her head, then said, “You’re too naive. You clearly don’t understand what I mean. I’m afraid that some people really don’t want Jiang Ke to talk, so…”

After seeing Cui Lizhu make a gesture like she was slitting her neck with a knife, Officer Wang became very serious look, then nodded hastily and said, “I’ll report this to my leader. But… Leader Zhao, I’m here with a mission. You know… Your surgery is not a short one, so… Uh…”

“I know that you are here for a written record. It is not a big deal, and there are some things I also want to figure out!” Zhao Yu said.

Officer Wang smiled, then said with relief, “It’s so kind of you to let me do that. It seems that all of the rumors about you are false. I was told that you have a bad temper. Other officers were reluctant to come here, so our leader sent me! So, we are friends now, I guess…”

Cui Lizhu pouted her lips as she said, “So… You don’t think that our group leader is unreasonable or arrogant?”

Officer Wang laughed and seemed a little embarrassed as he said, “No… Definitely not. Leader Zhao is a role model, and everyone respects him. He is a great hero, who is praised by everyone! He is going to be a legend!”

“Hmm… Such a flatterer!” Cui Lizhu said with disdain.

“Shut up!” Zhao Yu yelled at Cui Lizhu.

He then said to Officer Wang with a big smile on his face, “Officer Wang, you’re a bit off the mark with your words. I’m not going to be a legend… I’m already a legend!”

Before Zhao Yu entered the operating room, he told Officer Wang how he had captured Jiang Ke. Of course, he didn’t mention any of the devices that he had used, only how brave and determined he had been.

Even without adding any fake plot or exaggerations, his experience was exciting to hear. In fact, as they listened to Zhao Yu tell his story, Cui Lizhu and Officer Wang dared not breathe for fear of missing a single detail!

As for the yellow truck, Zhao Yu could only explain it as his good luck. He said that even he couldn’t completely understand how it had all worked out so well.

He then used the excuse of coincidence to explain how he had fought with so many robbers alone, even managing to kill one big man who was armed. As for how he had caught up with Jiang Ke, he carefully avoided explaining the reason, but just said that he had to endure the severe pain of his fracture as he skated to catch up with Jiang Ke.

After listening to the whole story, Officer Wang and Cui Lizhu were sincerely convinced of Zhao Yu’s prowess and legendary status. As they gazed at him, their eyes sparkled with admiration.

At this time, Zhao Yu also received the newest information about the current situation from Officer Wang. Six robbers, including Jiang Ke, were involved in this cigarette robbery. Three of them had died.

These three were Cui Xiaolong, who had been shot by Zhao Yu in the head, the driver, who had been thrown out of the tank truck, and the big man Lao Bin, who had died after Zhao Yu had punched him.

Of course, this case was a big deal. So, in addition to the above six people, Jiang Ke must have had other accomplices. So, the police were actively searching for the rest of his cohorts, relying on camera footage and those arrested people’s confessions for leads.

In addition, there were also many innocent victims in this case. Mr. Liang, the driver of the dark green van, had been killed by the robbers, and his body had been hidden under the back seat of the van.

Also, because Jiang Ke and his accomplices had committed this crime in public, many innocent bystanders, including those people who were scrambling for cigarettes, were shot or hit by cars, resulting in two deaths and eight serious injuries.

Looking back on the tragic experiences of these poor people, from the people scrambling for the cigarettes to the driver of the BMW 740 and the old man who was kicked off of his electric tricycle by Jiang Ke, Zhao Yu had learned a valuable lesson: Curiosity kills the cat! And… It’s best not to meddle in others’ business!
