Chapter 1063 - They’re All Dead? (2/2)
“Boss! You have to think carefully!” Cui Lizhu warned “Do you really want to report this incident? Aren’t we being a little impulsive? Why don’t we have another look? What if they all died naturally?”
Without answering Cui Lizhu, Zhao Yu picked up his phone and began to write on the paper as he thoroughly looked through the details he had been sent of the people This whole process lasted about an hour until finally Zhao Yu held his pen still and shook his head “Mahjong paper is unlike a whiteboard, if I make a mistake, I can’t erase it!” he said
“Boss, boss! What is it?” Cui Lizhu asked “Did you find anything? Who is the murderer?”
“What the hll, I’m a detective, not a God! If I could find out who thesome then I wouldn’t be here!” Zhao Yu replied Cui Lizhu was left speechless
“Look,” Zhao Yu said, pointing at the data “Putting their deaths aside, look at this Who are they? See, this guy’s a history professor, this guy’s an econoh-tech engineer, and this guy’s an explorer What does that tell you?”
“Uhood in academics?” Cui Lizhu deduced “And their professions are soht! There’s hope for you yet!” Zhao Yu said, nodding “I suspect that Tao Xiang wrote these names down because they had participated in the treasure hunt Tao Xiang wanted to findeach one and realizing they weren’t linked to the treasure he crossed them out!” Cui Lizhu said excitedly “Did he not have time to check the last five?”
“Hh ti he was unsure Don’t forget that the box was buried quite deep and the floor had been patched up! He probably wasn’t planning on getting the box any tienius detective! Hearing you say this makes me feel much clearer about the situation My dad didn’t cross those five people off because those five people knew so about the treasure!” Cui Lizhu stated
“Now look at this,” Zhao Yu pointed to the people at the top “These 11 people may be dead, but when they died, they were all old In their 70s, 80s, and even 90s! Even if soer, they all died of terminal illnesses and not of a heart attack Next, look at these five people Although they are not that young, they were not exactly old either In today’s day and age, people in their 60s are not considered old!”
“Oh, I think I get what you’re saying,” Cui Lizhu said, beginning to understand “The people ere murdered were only the last five and not all 16?”
“Bingo!” Zhao Yu said “The next important question is, if these five people were indeed murdered, then why did the murderer choose to kill them?”
“Oh my God!” Cui Lizhu exclaimed “Because they knew the secret of the treasure? Then the murderer killed them to find out… or to silence the at the big questionas we can capture the et some leads on the treasure!”
