Crazy Detective

"Ah!" Zhao Yu was woken up by a nightmare. He suddenly sat straight up.

"Boss, hey..." Cui Lizhu, who was lying beside his bed, quickly turned on the lamp and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have nightmares, just like us?"

Zhao Yu was breathing heavily, and sweat covered his forehead. His vision was blurred, and he was struggling to focus on one point in the lamp's light, yet was failing miserably. Zhao Yu gasped heavily before gradually calming down.

When Cui Lizhu saw that Zhao Yu looked strange, she rushed to turn on the room's overhead light. In this brighter light, Zhao Yu looked pale. He was also sweating profusely now, and his lips were dry and cracked.

Cui Lizhu immediately handed him a cup of water and said, "You can drink some water, but not too much!"

Zhao Yu fixed his eyes on the white wall in front of him and gasped heavily, but said nothing. It turned out that he had just been scared by a nightmare.

In the nightmare, he saw Cui Xiaolong, who he had killed, the driver, who had been thrown out of the truck and died, and the big man, who had been beaten to death by Zhao Yu's own hands! The strangest part was that he didn't actually know what the driver looked like, but in his nightmare, he could see the man's face clearly.

Cui Lizhu then said, "I've told everything that happened to the violent policewoman, Leader Miao! She told me to call her as soon as you woke up. But... You did wake up a little late..."

As Zhao Yu looked at Cui Lizhu and saw her messy hair and tired face, it was clear that she had been waiting here by his bedside for a long time. On the table next to Cui Lizhu, there was a heart monitor, which showed his heart rate and pulse. Then, out of habit, Zhao Yu looked down at his wrist, but did not see his watch.

Upon seeing him searching for the time, Cui Lizhu quickly said, "It's past two o'clock in the morning. So, you'd better call Leader Miao..."

"Oh..." Zhao Yu opened his mouth, which felt dry, so he took the cup of water that was being handed to him by Cui Lizhu and drank a little. However, the cold water didn't manage to refresh him.

"The operation was a success. But, you mustn't move that leg..." Cui Lizhu said as she pointed to Zhao Yu's right foot, which was in a plaster cast.

She then added, "The operation lasted for two and a half hours. You should have woken up at 12 o'clock, but you seemed so sleepy that I couldn't bear to wake you up before now."

During the conversation, Cui Lizhu took the cup from Zhao Yu, and as she did so, Zhao Yu grabbed her hand and asked, "Cui Xiaolong... Is he dead?"

"Why are you asking me this? Didn't you kill him?" Cui Lizhu frowned, then said, "Rest assured, the local police have confirmed that he is dead, and that he is indeed Jiang Ke's man!"

"Oh..." After hearing this, Zhao Yu suddenly got up and removed all of his heart monitor clips, which caused the sensors to go haywire and alarms to sound.

"Hey, it's midnight!" Cui Lizhu exclaimed, but she dared not stop Zhao Yu. She just turned around and pulled out the monitor's power plug, thus restoring the room to silence.

"Boss, you're not worried about any lawsuits, are you?" Cui Lizhu saw that Zhao Yu didn't look right, so she asked the question, trying to discover what was on his mind.

She then whispered in his ear to comfort him, "You don't have to worry about that. Those people are different from me. They are armed and ferocious robbers. What you did was legitimate self defense. Moreover, it's your duty to beat up bad people in order to protect the public. People should thank you for doing that!"

Cui Lizhu then added, "You don't know this, but when you were having the operation, the mayor and the bureau chief came and praised you so much! They also said that the provincial officials would come here tomorrow."

Zhao Yu swallowed hard. At this moment, Cui Lizhu's words meant nothing to him, as the nightmare was still lingering in his mind.

He had nightmares before, but this time was different. Obviously, he knew the reason for it. He knew in his heart that it was because he had killed people!

In his whole life, although he was arrogant and violent, he hadn't ever unnecessarily hurt others before, much less killed them without cause! It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Yu finally understood why Miao Ying had kind of lost her mind for a bit after killing Li Xiusheng and the others in the Gold Buddha Temple.

Although these people were evil criminals and Miao Ying's life was in danger at the time, Miao Ying had still been unable to get rid of the indescribable sense of guilt she had after killing them. Zhao Yu now felt the same way.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Thinking of the Gold Buddha Temple, Zhao Yu tried to recall how Miao Ying had finally recovered after her ordeal. Then, he remembered that Miao Ying had sex with him! Zhao Yu turned to look at Cui Lizhu at that moment, his eyes filled with unspeakable thoughts.

"Boss, I was really lucky during that time." Cui Lizhu did not notice Zhao Yu's eyes, so she said earnestly, "If I had fought against you, I would have died even earlier than they did!"

Upon seeing Cui Lizhu's smiling face, Zhao Yu finally returned to his senses. He pretended to be serious and stretched out two fingers as he said, "I have two things to ask of you now. First, give me my phone, so I can call Miao Ying back. Second, I'm hungry. Please get me something to eat!"

"Okay." Cui Lizhu quickly gave him her phone, then said, "Your mobile phone is broken. They're trying to repair it now, but you'll probably have to get a new one. For now, you can take mine! I'll go get you some snacks right now. Trust me, I know what you like."

After saying that, Cui Lizhu left the ward. As he watched her leave, Zhao Yu felt relieved.

After he calmed down a little, he called Miao Ying. Although it was late at night, Miao Ying had been waiting for Zhao Yu's call. So, when it went through, Miss Miao scolded Zhao Yu for not calling her earlier.

After she had calmed down a bit and knew that he was okay, Zhao Yu discussed the robbery with Miao Ying. She was not convinced by his coincidence theory, so she asked him in a slightly angry tone, "Zhao Yu, let's be honest... Did you know something a while ago?"

She then continued to urge him to share more, "Why did you insist on going to Yaoming? Why did you get caught up in all of these big cases? And… How any of this be coincidental? I don't believe that you could catch both Tao Xiang and Jiang Ke by luck. So, how can you lie to me?"

Zhao Yu quickly retorted with a cheeky smile, "If you think that I'm not that lucky, then why am I with you?"

"Ha ha ha..." Hearing this, Miao Ying laughed, then relaxed a little and said with relief, "It sounds like you are alright now. Since you have just had an operation, take this opportunity to have a good rest. When I close the Devil Case, I'll come to you! Um... if Cui Lizhu can't take good care of you, I'll get Zeng Ke..."

"That's not necessary! It's just a foot injury. In fact, I can take care of myself!" Zhao Yu suddenly became serious as he said, "Honey, let's talk about our real business now! How is the Devil Case coming along? Zhang Jingru... Is there anything new regarding her?"
