Chapter 930: Unsolved Cases Master
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
During the next few days, Zhao Yu didn’t open a new hexagram. Solving the Devil Case had really exhausted him, and he needed several days to recover.
But, during this period, he was still very busy. He needed to arrange people to handle follow-up matters associated with the Devil Case and also have meetings with leaders from different departments.
Although Golden City was small, it instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention, and the crime investigation officers from all relevant departments came to participate in Zhao Yu’s work. Much to Zhao Yu’s relief, Han Kuan confessed that he had committed the Devil Case and had killed his wife.
So, Han Kuan was no longer the devil who dared to challenge the police and who was proud of his crimes! In his desperation, he had admitted his crimes and actively cooperated with the police in finding related evidence.
He even drew a draft of his devil suit in front of the police and described in detail its production process. His draft, of course, matched the existing devil suit.
Han Kuan did not know what exactly the advanced forensic methods for criminal investigations were when he put the devil suit in Lang Xiangyang’s basement. He just thought that he couldn’t leave fingerprints or hairs on the suit.
So, he wore professional clothes when he made the devil suit to make sure that he didn’t leave any traces of these things on it. He also told the police that, after graduating from school, he had told Lang Xiangyang that he wanted to go to Beiqian with him because he had an argument with his family at that time and was short of money.
Also, he had already realized his addiction to killing after he had killed Laogua. Hence, he wanted to find other targets, which is why it made sense for him to go to a strange place versus staying at home.
So, when he heard that Lang Xiangyang was recruiting, he went. And when they went to Beiqian together, his devil suit was in his backpack!
Han Kuan’s voluntary confession was undoubtedly good news. At least Zhao Yu did not need to worry about the rest of the case work now. The hard part appeared to be done!
However, for Zhao Yu, having to handle the other leaders seemed more of a burden that the case work itself! Every day, he had to attend a new celebration meal and meet different leaders. For several days, he didn’t even have a chance to have a good chat with Miao Ying!
Miao Ying was also busy during this time. She was leading the team in gathering materials and writing various reports.
Although the Criminal Division had sent another group of people to take over their work, they still needed to complete many things in person. The New Year was approaching, but instead of relaxing, Zhao Yu only got busier!
The Criminal Division had released the news about cracking the Devil Case to the public, so there would be another big press conference held before the New Year in order to close the Devil Case officially, as well as to reassure the public that all was finally well. This was the same process as the Headless Female Corpses Case.
As the star of the case-solving team, Zhao Yu had to be present. The Criminal Division had invited him to Beijing for preparation. As for Miao Ying and the others, they needed to complete the handover before they could go to meet Zhao Yu in Beijing.
Zhao Yu received many other invitations as well. The Tongjiang Provincial Office invited him to attend a special commendation conference, where they wanted to thank him for his outstanding performance in solving the Yongjin Island homicide case. They also invited him to teach a training session for the local criminal police officers.
Qinshan Bureau Chief, Luan Xiaoxiao, also called Zhao Yu in hopes that he could return to Qinshan to attend an award ceremony, as well as give a report on solving the Headless Female Corpses Case. However, Zhao Yu was so busy that he would only have had time for these things after the New Year.
Although he did not attend these award ceremonies, he still got a generous bonus. When added to his Headless Female Corpses Case gains, he had received five big bonuses for solving cases, including rewards that had been issued directly by the Criminal Division, some special awards from the Jinzhong Office, and various personal awards that were given to him by the Qinshan Police Station.
He also received big rewards for cases like the Hasty Murder Case, the Gem Theft Case, the Yongjin Island homicide case and so on. He even received a reward from the State Administration for the Protection of Cultural Relics, as well as winning the title of national treasure guard due to his work on the Gem Theft Case!
But, as the Tamil Star belonged to India, Zhao Yu thought that it shouldn’t be considered a national treasure. Regardless, Zhao Yu did the math and found that he had already received a total of approximately a million yuan, excluding the Devil Case’s gains!
Although the money was less than one-tenth of what he had gotten from Miao Ying’s father, he was much happier with these profits, as he earned them through hard work.
On December 28, Miao Ying finally completed the handover and came to Beijing to join Zhao Yu with the other special investigation group members, where they all participated in the grand news conference for the Devil Case. This time, armed with the experience that he had learned from the past, Zhao Yu handled everything quite well. In his report, he hardly even mentioned his merits.
In addition to praising the leaders for their wise decisions, he mainly praised his colleagues, including his special investigation group members and everyone else who participated in the investigation of the case. Zhao Yu stressed that solving the Devil Case was the direct result of a joint effort of every police officer, especially Ba Chen, Jin Wan, Wang Can and Xu Yihua.
He then told their stories to the audience and praised their bravery. He also thanked the Golden City Police Station, the Yaoming Police Station, the Beiqian Police Station and the Jiangxing Police Station for their active participation and selfless support. He made sure to state that every police officer had contributed a lot!
Zhao Yu’s speech was full of passion, and he received much warmer applause than the last time. He had clearly won the respect of everyone present!
Once the conference was over, Zhao Yu rose to fame and his influence rose to an unprecedented level. Once all of the major media outlets reported his story, interview invitations began to pile up, which made Zhao Yu afraid to even answer the phone!
His story was everywhere on social media, and he was being called the “Unsolved Cases Master!”
No matter if it was the Mianling Kidnapping Case, the Headless Female Corpses Case, or the Devil Case, they were all difficult and had far-reaching impacts and influences. Zhao Yu had really impressed the public by being able to solve these cases.
Posts about his legendary cases went viral on the Internet, and his new nickname also became famous, quickly spreading across the country. Some people even urged criminals to confess before they were caught by Zhao Yu, the famed Unsolved Cases Master!
