After thoroughly examining the information on the ship, Lin Yuan obtained the details about that woman.
Shangguan Yao, an orphan, age unknown. Abandoned by her parents at birth, she was adopted by a foreign couple and began learning the business from them.
However, based on the relevant business activities, it appeared that their field was different from that of Mr. Xu, which meant that her statement was also a lie.
Lin Yuan directly requested the hotel records. The only information he could find was about the woman who came to meet Shangguan Yao; it seemed that Shangguan Yao had not stayed at the hotel.
Hudie?
That name sounded somewhat peculiar. The records indicated that she was involved in the tobacco business, primarily related to import and export, which could indeed connect them.
Lin Yuan tapped his fingers slowly on the table, deep in thought.
What was he thinking about? Bai Ling, who had just stepped out to pour a cup of coffee, noticed his demeanor and felt a bit intrigued.
Are we about to catch a big fish?
Big fish? Bai Ling still didn’t quite grasp what he meant.
Lin Yuan had no intention of explaining at that moment. A very big fish might just bring me some surprises.
After saying this, he turned and walked out the door.
Bai Ling stroked his chin; something that could make Lin Yuan refer to it as a big fish was likely related to the last ship incident. But how did he know it was a big fish?
Lin Yuan certainly knew. Even if the other party's methods were clumsy, he could still discern some common patterns from them.
Criminals didn’t have many tricks up their sleeves; there were clear signs of tampering with the hotel surveillance footage, and that identification card was fake.
The other party was just like him.
This was actually the first person within his reach who had appeared in such a way.
Shouldn’t he go take a look himself?
At that moment, Butterfly in the hotel was unaware of the situation. She put on her eye mask and drifted off to sleep, while the two bodyguards who accompanied her took turns resting in a room outside.
They were from the Green Snake organization, tasked with protecting this woman. If necessary, they were even prepared to sacrifice themselves.
As midnight approached, Lin Yuan had already arrived at the hotel lobby. The receptionist perked up when she saw him walking over.
"Good evening, sir. Are you here to book a room? Our rates are a bit higher at night."
Lin Yuan took out his identification. Seeing the surprise in the receptionist's eyes, he said, "I'm looking for someone named Butterfly. She should have two bodyguards with her."
This was the first time the receptionist had encountered a police officer checking rooms. After verifying his credentials, she excitedly handed over the room number to Lin Yuan.
"There are currently two people staying there. Do you need us to accompany you?"
"No need."
"Ah, okay."
Lin Yuan understood that even if he brought Butterfly to the police station, it would only result in a few days of detention. He needed some information from her; she must have something that connected her to others.
After taking the elevator to the top floor, Lin Yuan stood in front of Butterfly's door. In the darkness, a door was quietly opened.
One of the bodyguards from the other room, who hadn’t fallen asleep yet, opened his eyes and coldly glanced toward the bedroom before nudging his partner awake.
The two men immediately noticed Lin Yuan intruding.
"Who are you?" they demanded as they stood up, towering over Lin Yuan by half a head.
Lin Yuan remained remarkably calm. "You know about Red Blood, right?"
Seeing their surprise and seriousness, he continued, "Given your level of expertise, you should also know who their organization is. I'm here to find him."
As the words fell, both individuals lunged forward simultaneously. The other party had come alone, without any backup, clearly intending for them to handle the situation.
In a deep slumber, Butterfly heard faint noises from outside. The hotel had excellent soundproofing, yet she was still stirred awake. The moment she opened her eyes, she quickly became alert. Someone had broken in.
Her hotel room was on the top floor, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were sealed shut, making escape impossible. Thinking of the two people she had brought with her, Butterfly's eyes glinted coldly in the darkness. She gripped a knife tightly and slowly approached the door.
Bang!
The door was slammed against its frame. Butterfly felt an even greater sense of unease. If it were just ordinary assassins or troublemakers, their skills wouldn’t be this formidable; her physical abilities could handle them just fine.
Outside the door, Lin Yuan looked at the two men lying motionless on the ground. He walked over and retrieved the knife from their belts. Those two would still be useful.
Suddenly, everything around fell silent. Inside the bedroom, Butterfly quietly pressed her ear against the doorframe. Were those two already dead?
In the next moment.
Swish!
A cold blade appeared before her, mere inches away. Lin Yuan had already grabbed a key from the front desk; even if the door was locked from within, he could still open it.
Creak.
As the door cracked open, darkness greeted him. Lin Yuan didn’t see anyone inside.
Not here?
On the bed lay a lace nightgown, still warm to the touch when he reached out to feel it. This meant someone was still present.
Lin Yuan's gaze swept around the room before finally settling on the closet.
It was enough to hide a person.
He walked slowly, step by step, and opened the closet door.
Empty.
There were two more doors.
The other one was also empty, until Lin Yuan reached the last door, when he heard someone running outside.
Lin Yuan merely turned his head to glance and did not move.
Still not coming out?
In the next moment, a petite figure darted out from inside, wielding a blade aimed directly at his throat.
The sharp sound of wind indicated the opponent's speed was fast; even Lin Yuan had to be cautious.
He dodged the first strike but hadn’t had time to see the opponent’s face before another slash came at him. If it weren't for his trained reflexes, he would have surely sustained some injuries.
This wasn’t right.
Lin Yuan could clearly sense that this was inconsistent with the teachings in the criminal space.
Die!
Huzhi knew very well that if she got caught, it would be over for her. She wasn't someone who could withstand such tests; no matter who this person was, she couldn’t let him capture her!
We all came from the same place; there’s no need for this!
Though she said that, Lin Yuan's movements were equally relentless.
Huzhi’s petite figure was lethal in the confined space, but every move she made felt incredibly familiar to Lin Yuan, as if he were sparring with an instructor from the police academy.
Could it be that these fighting techniques taught in criminal training adapt based on individuals?
Unfortunately for her, Huzhi was a woman. Lin Yuan used his strength to overpower her, and after taking two stabs, he finally managed to subdue her.
Huzhi's face turned pale, cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
Her hands and legs were twisted painfully as she looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief.
Impossible! How could you be so fast?
I’ve trained for so long...
Is this what Director Fang meant by favoritism?
