It was night and the moon was high. In the office of the special investigation group at the Feng Ping police station, Zhao Yu was following his regular routine, facing the whiteboard and doing his case analysis. Due to the large number of materials that he read, he had set up seven whiteboards to record everything, leaving almost no spare room in the temporary office.
From the clues about the treasure and Tao Xiang and the intelligence organization behind him to the five experts, Zhao Yu had a lot to consider. The workload was large. In addition, the difficulty of this case was unprecedented. Although they had found out about the secret intelligence organization, they had no idea where to start given the evidence they currently had.
The Secret Service had tried their best but failed to find out the truth. They didn’t even know whether Meng Youbin was dead or not. It would be impossible to crack the case if Zhao Yu only had the help of his special investigation group. In fact, Zhao Yu thought more than once that maybe the case of the five old experts was not as difficult as he had originally thought. It might have been Meng Youbin’s intelligence organization or the supporters behind the intelligence organization that killed them. If he could catch Meng Youbin, the truth might come out.
However, the case was also full of mystery. Until now, Zhao Yu had no idea why the five experts were killed. Although they were recruited by the Secret Service, they had worked at different times and had not collaborated in their assigned tasks. Although they knew some of the others, none of them were close friends, and they had only known each other academically. Besides, the five people lived in different cities and were of different ages. Zhao Yu didn’t know why the murderer made them his target.
The murderer using truth serum on the victims showed that this crime was not a hate killing. The murderer wanted to know something from these people. That was also the biggest mystery in this case. What did the killer want to know? Would this situation be the same as the Gold Buddha Case? Had these five experts ever had any special experience like the experts in the buddha case? But they were of different ages and they had not worked together. Zhao Yu was really confused.
Now Zhao Yu was only sure about one thing. All of the five experts were on a list of names and were killed according to the order of the list. Therefore, their deaths must be related to the treasure.
Treasure… treasure… Zhao Yu had a sense of being powerless when he thought of the treasure. He believed differently than he had before. Although he took the case, he never believed that he could find the treasure.
Looking at the two maps from the past and current groups hunting the treasure, Zhao Yu learned that in the past 80 years, experts had searched almost every possible area in the northeast where they thought the treasure might be, using expensive high technology means. If the treasure really existed, it should have been found.
Zhao Yu thought that the treasure was either totally made up or it had been found by someone already. However, if there was no treasure, why were so many countries, including the Japanese, still making great efforts to find it? Was there any secret to be found with the treasure?
Since the Devil Case, Zhao Yu had realized the truth. To solve a case, he couldn’t only rely on luck or his system. No matter how powerful the adventure system was, he also needed to work hard. Therefore, despite all the doubts, Zhao Yu was still determined to find the truth. He forced himself to focus and read the materials he had on hand.
Whenever Zhao Yu found a new clue, he wrote it on the whiteboard or corrected an incorrect conclusion he had written previously. In this way, before long, he filled another two whiteboards. After reading the materials, Zhao Yu summed up several investigative steps that he needed to take.
First, he needed to go to the locations where the five old experts were killed. Maybe he could find clues there. Second, he had to track down Meng Youbin’s intelligence organization and find out its connection with Tao Xiang. Third, he needed to find out the reason for the death of the experts. Fourth, he needed to learn more about Tao Xiang’s past and see what else he could find through Cui Lizhu, Li Fei, and Flying Squirrel Gao. Fifth, he had to investigate all the information related to the treasure to see if he could make any breakthrough in that respect. Finally, his sixth step was to start a new hexagram every day and see if he could get help from his big boss, the powerful system.
After summing up what he had to do, Zhao Yu realized that getting all of this done would not be an easy job. He needed people and money. He especially needed the assistance of someone great. Although he now had the help of the Secret Service, Zhao Yu still felt that was not enough.
Zhao Yu sighed heavily. Later, he discovered that today’s Du Zhen hexagram was over. He had not had high expectations for this common hexagram, so he was quite satisfied with his 203% completion and two rewarded devices. He looked at his watch and found that it was past midnight. It was now a crucial time and he could open a new hexagram, so he tried to make himself look very serious. He put his hands together and chanted, “The spirit of heaven, and the spirit of earth… Boss. This time, it’s up to you. Give me a new hexagram.”
Zhao Yu almost cried out in excitement. After he saw the new hexagram, his eyelids drooped. The new hexagram was still just a common hexagram, Zhen Li. It was even worse than the last one as it didn’t include a Gen.
“Sh*t!” Zhao Yu felt depressed and murmured, “Every time I need you the most, you give me sh*t!” Zhao Yu was airing his grievances. He knew how the adventure system worked. He knew that the system didn’t give the hexagram he wanted because his investigation was halted. Like the Devil Case, he still had a lot of things he needed to work on. Fortunately, Zhao Yu was the kind of person who didn’t give up that easily. So, after starting the new hexagram, he went back to the case and reread the papers.
“Team leader. It’s so late. You’re impressive,” Wu Xiumin said. As Zhao Yu had been working, Wu Xiumin suddenly came from the back of the office. “Leader Miao told me to stop you when you work like this.”
Zhao Yu looked back at her and said, “I’m ok. I slept yesterday. I want to work things out today. ”
“Oh? Are you still thinking about the five experts?” Wu Xiumin walked over to Zhao Yu and looked at the materials he was reading. “I just finished the detailed information about these five people. Apart from searching for the treasure, they have no close dealings with each in their work or their regular lives,” she said.
Zhao Yu nodded. “Yes, I still don’t understand the cause of their death. What do you think?” he asked.
“According to the Secret Service, the five experts found nothing at the end. However, the murder is clearly related to the treasure. This is really puzzling,” Wu Xiumin replied.
Zhao Yu thought for a moment then said, “Yes, I feel that if we want to know the answer, we have only one thing we can do.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” Wu Xiumin asked.
“Since the cause of their murders is our biggest question now, we might as well look for the reason from the dead.” Zhao Yu pointed to the papers in his hands. “Maybe they have some unknown secrets.”
“Oh. So?” Wu Xiumin asked.
“So…” Zhao Yu raised his head and said seriously, “I plan to start with the people closest to these experts and see if they have done any dirty deals. How about that, my psychological expert?” Zhao Yu turned to Wu Xiumin and said with a smile. “You make the preparations. This time, you’ll go there with me.”
