Chapter 113: His Highness Zhao
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After getting many calls and hearing that the bureau chief was coming to meet him personally, Zhao Yu had to forget about going home to shower and rest, and headed straight for the police station. But as soon as he walked through the front door and into the hallway of the office, Zhao Yu realized something strange. Many investigators were looking at him weirdly.
“What’s up?” he thought. Zhao Yu could not help but be confused. “Am I not wear any clothing, or did I put on women’s clothing or something? What are you all looking at? Am I that handsome?”
As it turned out, the news of Zhao Yu closing the Slaughter Case had already spread within the entire team. All of the investigators were stunned at the rumored perverted police officer! Just closing both the Taser Rape Case and the Lost Hand Case back to back was crazy, but this guy had just entered the Cold Case Unit, and he had already closed a ten-year-old cold case, by himself nonetheless! Such an insane ability was almost unimaginable! So when they suddenly saw Zhao Yu himself, they could not help but have a strange expression as they awkwardly gazed at him.
Zhao Yu was not aware of this at all. When he saw two female colleagues staring at him from the office, he licked his lip and asked, “Hey, cuties, what are you guys looking at? Want a date with moi?”
The two girls suddenly shivered, quickly lowered their head, and escaped.
“Hehe…” Zhao Yu grinned, but as he turned around, he found himself face-to-face with Team Leader Qu Ping who was leaving the Team B office.
When Qu Ping saw Zhao Yu she paused. She looked as if she wanted to say something, but Zhao Yu spoke up before she had a chance, “Oh? Isn’t it Team Leader Qu? What’s up? Did you manage to close the Nursing Home Burglary Case yet? Do you need me to help you guys?”
Hearing Zhao Yu’s insulting words, Qu Ping simply rolled her eyes at him, then returned to her office without a word.
“Che!” Zhao Yu simply huffed. When he saw that Team B’s door was open, he originally wanted to go mock them further, but at that moment, Peng Xin was leading a group of people storming out of the Team A office. The group moved rapidly, and looked rather urgent.
Hah? Seeing his colleagues from Team A coming toward him, Zhao Yu could not help but shudder a little. He thought to himself, “Miss, I just solved a simple case. Do you need to come greet me so readily?” But Zhao Yu quickly noticed that everyone was wearing their coat and holding their bags as if they were going somewhere in a hurry. What happened?
“Ah! Yu!” Peng Xin was the first to notice Zhao Yu. She excitedly ran over with her arms wide open. “Come, let me give you a kiss!”
Peng Xin actually made a motion to kiss him, but Zhao Yu quickly dodged to the side and laughed, “No…I haven’t brushed my teeth yet!”
“Hahaha…” Peng Xin roared with laughter and slapped Zhao Yu hard on the shoulder. “You really are my lucky star! You haven’t even been in the Cold Case Investigation Unit for more than a few days, but you’ve already closed another huge case, you, rascal…” Peng Xin was so excited that she did not know what to say. She simply punched Zhao Yu’s shoulder hard over and over again.
“Yeah, Zhao really made us proud! He let us hold our heads up high as well!” Liu Xueshan agreed from behind, “We all have to work hard too! We will definitely capture this criminal too!”
“Yeah!” All of the other team members agreed, their spirit was at its peak.
Ah? Zhao Yu finally understood. All of his colleagues were eagerly going out to capture a criminal! “They didn’t come to welcome me” he realized.
“Sis…what happened?” Zhao Yu hurriedly asked Peng Xin.
Peng Xin replied, “We just got some new information. Someone saw Yang Wentao’s near Qinshan Water Reservoir. We have to go and capture him! Kiddo, I’m going to organize your victory party later!”
Yang Wentao? Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that Yang Wentao was the suspect in the Floating Corpse Case, the one that did parkour! Who would have thought that he was still running away after so many days?
“Qinshan Water Reservoir?” Zhao Yu’s brows knitted. “No way? That guy actually hid at the place where he killed someone and dumped the body? Amazing, huh? Sis, wait up, I’ll go with you guys!” Zhao Yu zipped up his jacket, ready to head out with his colleagues.
“Okay!” Peng Xin first nodded, but she remembered something a second later and stooped. “Wait, no! Bro, Bureau Chief Luan called this morning. She wants you to go to her office!”
“Bureau Chief Luan?” Zhao Yu knitted his brows again. He wondered, “What could she possibly want with me?”
Having guessed what Zhao Yu was thinking, Peng Xin made sure to shout Team B’s direction, “Zhao Yu, it’s because you managed to close the Uptown Slaughter Case! That’s quite the achievement. Bureau Chief Luan wants to praise you, and she wants to personally hear from you! Also, she wants you to prepare a report about your experiences solving cases for the rest of the Key Case Investigation Unit. Make sure you’re prepared!” Peng Xin had raised her voice so Qu Ping and the others would hear her boasting. She wanted to let them know, “Team A also has skilled people! We aren’t here for nothing!”
Seeing Peng Xin’s pride, Zhao Yu wanted to laugh; however, he was a much better actor than Peng Xin. He immediately cooperated and yelled towards Team B’s door, “Meeting the bureau chief is too much! With such a small case like the Slaughter Case, what is there even to say?” Zhao Yu acted seriously. “I think I should just go and catch the suspect with you guys! Don’t worry, it’s just a measly murderer trying to escape! If Your Highness Zhao Yu goes, I can guarantee their capture. And I’ll be quick too!”
Listening to Peng Xin and Zhao Yu, the Team A members could not help but smile. Ever since Qu Ping had become the Team B’s leader, they had been constantly oppressed. They never dared to yell in front of the other’s door. This was truly first time they were doing so!
After their performance, Peng Xin seriously shook her head and spoke quietly into Zhao Yu’s ear, “Yu, listen to me. Hurry up and go to Bureau Chief Luan’s office! It’s not only to make a report, but it’s also to talk about the Cold Case Investigation Unit. If she gives you the OK, you can leave right away!”
Oh…Zhao Yu had not thought that far. Big sis really did know best! Thinking this much, a sudden emotion welled up inside of him. He knew who were his friends and who were his enemies. “Peng Xin already takes so much care of me. I must repay her kindness!” he thought.
Zhao Yu did not think too much, but persisted on trying to accompany Team A. “Sis, don’t say anymore! I, Zhao Yu, am still a member of Team A. I’ll go with you guys, the more people we have, the stronger we are!”
“But…” Peng Xin was hesitant.
“What’s there to hesitate about?” Zhao Yu waved his hand in dismissal. “I can write a report for the bureau chief anytime, but this suspect won’t wait for us! Let’s hurry and not waste our time anymore!”
“Then…alright!” Peng Xin finally agreed. “As for Bureau Chief Luan, I’ll go explain it to her later! Let’s go…” Under Peng Xin’s lead, the investigators quickly went downstairs to get into the cars.
At the same time, Qu Ping was inside of Team B’s office shuddering in anger. She had heard all of Peng Xin and Zhao Yu’s mockery just then. Zhao Yu’s words, especially, made her even angrier.
“Hmph! Only the shameless flaunt their glory!” Qu Ping cursed Zhao Yu. “How can he refer to himself as ‘Your Highness?’ How shameless! I’ll wait and see if you can really capture the murderer!”
