Crazy Detective

It was hard to tell whether God’s will was at work or if Zhao Yu was just unlucky. The road in front of him was not an ordinary cargo railroad, but one specially built for Gao Lanqi’s timber trade. Since it was the new year period, there should have been very little going on at the cargo works. What’s more, since the new year there had only been one train!

Who would have thought that Zhao Yu would have actually managed to catch this one-in-a-million train! He couldn’t help but wonder if he should buy a lottery ticket.

Tsk tsk, this was a problem!

Cheng Lingfei’s crashed helicopter covered both of the tracks, and the train was charging forward at full speed. It would probably smash the helicopter into pieces! If a collision actually took place, not a single person would be left alive. There would perhaps not even be a whole corpse left!

What should I do? I can’t let these criminals die, can I? Should I stop the train? What tools do I have to make the train stop? Decelerator? No… What about using the Invisible Spring Launcher to derail the train? That’s not possible! In order to do that I would need 5,000 points and I don’t have enough! Then… the Invisible Propeller? Would that work? No! The target is too far away! If I were to use the Invisible Propeller to control the train, I would still need a large number of points to enhance it, and there isn’t enough time!

Woooooo! The train continued rushing down the tracks. The driver was not blind, and he would definitely have seen the large helicopter on the tracks. It would be impossible for him not to see it! But what was the point? The helicopter couldn’t move, and they were about to collide!

At that moment, just as the windows of the helicopter cracked open from the tremors, an arm appeared, followed by a dust-covered head.

Zhao Yu realized who it was. It was Yang Zebiao!

Yang Zebiao smiled innocently at Zhao Yu and saluted him, confusing Zhao Yu.

God damn it! You’re about to die, and you still dare to smile at me?

Zhao Yu realized that there was the possibility that Yang Zebiao was mentally unsound. But seeing as the train was about to reach the helicopter, he didn’t have time to consider other things.

What to do?!

There were no tools he could use. Zhao Yu looked around and saw his car engine was still running. He could still drive it!

Okay! Zhao Yu decided he would fight this case head-on. He would solve it! As he thought about this, he floored his accelerator and sped off.

Wooooooo!

The train was now inches away from the helicopter. Even though the driver had applied the brakes, a collision seemed inevitable. The driver hurriedly hid in the driver’s room and hugged the controller, frightened by the prospect of his own death.

Wah! Seeing how close the two objects were, Zhao Yu let out a shout and took out his Invisible Propeller, letting his car’s speed reach maximum. Aiming at the broken tail of the helicopter, he hit the brakes and jumped out of the car just as he was about to hit it.

Woo! The train let out a hoot before colliding with the other obstacles on the tracks, causing a deafening explosion. But Zhao Yu’s car had knocked the helicopter of the tracks just in time! The train hit the car instead of the helicopter!

Boom!

The black car was instantly smashed to pieces and burst into flames. After jumping out of the car, Zhao Yu rolled across the floor. But the speed of the car and the train were too fast, and the resultant gust of wind sent him flying in the direction of the train. The wheels of the train whizzed past Zhao Yu’s head and he was almost caught in them. Lucky as per usual, Zhao Yu managed to escape and the wheels of the train only caught his hair.

“Ah!” After all the rolling, Zhao Yu moaned in pain. His back was full of scratches from the gravel, and his leg was fractured. His ears were ringing so loudly he couldn’t hear anything!

“What the f*ck?”! Zhao Yu cursed silently. Since he had used the Invisible Propeller, why hadn’t he jumped out earlier? Could this be the legendary ‘subpar device’? He felt like his whole body had just been to war. His brain was mush and when he opened his eyes, the world looked like it was spinning in black and white. Although he had used the car to knock into the helicopter, he wasn’t sure if it had actually worked. Were Cheng Lingfei and the others still alive?

Oh… Enduring the pain and dizziness, Zhao Yu tried to crawl up. But after trying twice, he still couldn’t stand. In the next second, the pain in his lower back and legs began to spread. He was in unbearable pain.

Bloody hell… Huff… Huff… Zhao Yu exhaled, struggling to concentrate. As his consciousness began to dim, he realized this was not the time to be collapsing! He must know what had happened to Cheng Lingfei and the rest! If they were still alive, he couldn’t let them escape!

Up… I have to get up!

Gritting his teeth, he struggled to stand but moving his right leg brought a sharp searing pain.

F*ck! Another fracture?! It’s okay… it’s okay… Zhao Yu knew from experience that as long as he could still feel pain, it was still a good sign. Also, he still had his tools!

Zhao Yu activated the Invisible Bone Setting Device and temporarily stabilized his fracture. It was no longer as painful as it had been moments before. Then, he used an Invisible Recovery Agent to recover his spirit and his physical ability.

As expected, the Recovery Agent was effective and after consuming it, the ringing in his ears disappeared, and he no longer felt as dizzy. After a couple of minutes, he pushed himself off the floor and stood up.

But even though the bone was fixed in position, when Zhao Yu tried to walk there was still a throbbing pain, and now that he was more conscious, the pain from the abrasions and bruises became more apparent.

Zhao Yu felt like a beggar who had asked for a hundred years’ worth of rice. All his clothes were torn and tattered, his belt was broken, and he could only walk while holding on to his pants that didn’t reach past his thighs…

A strong smell of burning spread through the air. Zhao Yu looked at the car that had been smashed to smithereens and saw that some parts of it that were littered across the floor had even caught fire. The train had stopped, and the driver was calling the police for assistance while observing the scene.

Zhao Yu turned to the other side and saw the helicopter. Fortunately, it had not been crushed by the train, putting him at ease.

The collision had broken the propellers and caused the helicopter to overturn twice. Part of the cabin had also collapsed, but Zhao Yu was certain that the people inside would have survived.

As he expected, a moment later the cabin door opened and after some intense coughing, Cheng Lingfei crawled out with messy hair and a bloodied face.
