Crazy Detective

Zhao Yu tried to recall the deep hoarse voice. He was sure that the voice was not familiar, and he had never heard it before.

“What do you mean? Who are you?” Although he was still in a shock, Zhao Yu pretended he didn’t know what the caller was talking about. He tried to slow the caller down and get more information.

The man on the phone smacked his lips and said, “Zhao Yu, how can you call yourself a super detective? I’m really disappointed this time! I have given you so many clues, but you still fall into my trap. What a pity!”

Once again, Zhao Yu was shocked. Although this man didn’t say much, he apparently knew many things.

Is he the mysterious boss behind Jiang Ke? Are Wu Fangfang and the Ziliu case all related to him?

Zhao Yu had an ominous feeling. The man laughed again and said, “The students are very hard-working. At 7 o’clock in the morning, they are already studying. They should be praised for that.”

As the man spoke, the phone suddenly set off an alert. Zhao Yu looked at the phone and saw a video of a white building popping up on the screen. It was a building where students were having classes.

The man sneered and said, “Zhao Yu, you’re smart! When Wu Fangfang died, you knew something was wrong and took precautions to protect your family. However, it seems that you’ve forgotten your niece.”

Suddenly, Zhao Yu had a very bad feeling.

The man said, “The fat fruit seller is so proud of his relationship with you. He tells every customer that his daughter is your niece. Let’s find out how important your niece is to you!”

As the man spoke, the video became clearer. Zhao Yu saw in the video that Jiang Xiaoqing was sitting next to the window on the third floor of the building,

Zhao Yu began to sweat! There was a cross mark on the screen, and it showed the shooting distance. There was a shooter aiming at Jiang Xiaoqing!

Zhao Yu was so angry that he wanted to lash out. However, when he saw Jiang Ke staring at him like a wolf, he held back his anger and slowly sat down in his chair.

Zhao Yu had not been prepared for this. He couldn’t believe that the man would make Jiang Xiaoqing the target.

The man said coldly, “Super detective, you must know the situation, so I don’t need to explain much to you. You see in the video how far a bullet would go. If I pull the trigger, that girl will die. You have said that you represent justice! Even if you don’t have a close relationship with your niece, you probably don’t want to see a young girl get shot in the head, right?”

Zhao Yu clenched his teeth and thought about what he should do. He was also secretly typing a message into his mobile phone.

Zhao Yu asked, “What do you want?”

The hoarse voice said slowly, “Don’t worry, detective! The play has just begun! Let me forewarn you. You can’t hide anything from us! If you want to ask for help using your phone, you will definitely regret it!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately stopped texting Miao Ying. Suddenly, Zhao Yu saw in the detection screen that the camera of the prison guard’s phone had been turned on automatically. Undoubtedly, the phone had been modified and the man on the other end of the line could see his every move!

The hoarse voice laughed and said, “Zhao Yu, if you want your niece to be safe, give up! In order to confirm my sincerity, please look at the screen again!”

Zhao Yu looked at the screen and saw the cross mark had moved from Jiang Xiaoqing to the wall above the classroom. There were four big characters on the wall. The characters interpreted as, “Bo Ai Cheng Ren (Love for Humanity)”. When the cross mark moved to the character “Ren (Humanity),” a bullet hit it and left a hole there. The crash immediately attracted the attention of the students in the classroom. Several students looked out the window, but they didn’t see anything.

At the same time, the teacher also heard the sound. He opened the window and looked around. He thought that the plaster fell because of age. He closed the window and returned to the classroom.

Next, the cross mark was aimed at Jiang Xiaoqing again. In the video, Jiang Xiaoqing was writing something. She was not bothered by what had just happened. Her seat was by the window, and she could be seen clearly through the clean window. The little girl raised her head when she thought hard about something and then continued to write.

The hoarse voice said triumphantly, “Zhao Yu, now you know that I’m not kidding! If you do as I say, I will keep your niece safe and sound!”

At this point, Zhao Yu had no alternative. He stood up and asked, “Tell me, what can I do for you?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ke became excited. However, to Zhao Yu’s surprise, Jiang Ke’s eyes showed signs of mixed emotions other than signs of joy.

The mysterious man said, “Don’t get excited, Detective Zhao! As long as you do what I say, I will ensure your niece’s safety! We both know that life matters. I want to make it clear in advance. If you end the call suddenly or you try to play games, you can expect to see your niece’s corpse.”

Zhao Yu said, “OK, no problem. I promise you!”

The mysterious man said with satisfaction, “OK. First of all, find the owner of the mobile phone. He has a Bluetooth headset. You must wear the Bluetooth headset so that we can keep talking at all times!”

As soon as the man finished, Wang Can opened the door impatiently. Zhao Yu rushed to the door so that there would be no accidents. Wang Can waved at Zhao Yu which meant that he couldn’t track down the caller.

In order to ensure Jiang Xiaoqing’s safety, Zhao Yu forced himself to calm down and said, “Wang Can, it’s alright. It’s an old colleague of mine. I have to use this phone for a while. Uh…”

Zhao Yu turned to the prison guard and asked, “Hey, where’s the Bluetooth headset? Give it to me!”

The prison guard was confused, but he handed his Bluetooth headset to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu patted Wang Can on the shoulder as if nothing had happened and said, “I’m dealing with an important thing now. Don’t disturb me, understand?”

Wang Can replied, “Oh… Okay, okay…” Only then did Wang Can breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yu shut the door of the interrogation room and asked the man hastily, “I have the Bluetooth headset. What should I do next?”

“Next, you just need to do two things!” The mysterious man smiled and said, “First, give the phone to Jiang Ke! Second, I give you ten minutes to plan a prison break and send Jiang Ke safely to me!”
