As soon as they reached the customs area, news arrived that they were professionals when it came to searching for contraband. To avoid wasting time, there were several customs officers present.
When Lin Yuan followed Zheng Rufeng down, he happened to see the three individuals he had encountered the previous night. Each of them had an assistant carrying items beside them, especially the woman among them.
They were a bit far away, so Lin Yuan couldn't hear what they were saying. After Lin Yuan got into the car, there was still no commotion from the customs search area.
"Has that person not disembarked yet?" Zheng Rufeng wondered aloud. If they truly intended to bring drugs into Haishi, there shouldn't be any delay at this point; the crew wouldn't remain in Haishi for long.
"Not yet," came the response from the officer on the walkie-talkie. The bodies from the ship had already been transferred to the police station, and right now, the priority was with customs.
Lin Yuan looked out of the window. He saw the woman with the suitcase saying something, and then the customs officers began to take items out of her bag.
"Ma'am, your suitcase's thickness seems off; is there something else packed inside?" one of the customs officers asked.
The woman in a down hat frowned. "There are some fillers in there; you can't expect me to tear it open for you to see, can you? The jewelry cannot have any scratches."
The customs officer remained professional. "I'm sorry, but as long as you're entering Haishi, these checks are mandatory. Please bring your suitcase over."
Some materials could evade simple technological inspections, but if sent for thorough examination, they would reveal some clues.
The woman grew impatient and signaled her bodyguard to step forward and hand over the suitcase. The bodyguard seemed to say something, and the woman replied, "This suitcase cannot be damaged; it costs too much to manufacture. How about this—I’ll just take the jewelry in with me?"
Indeed, some materials were difficult to produce. The customs officers exchanged glances; since she didn't want to bring her items into Haishi, there was little they could do for now.
"Alright, ma'am," one of them said. The search dog nearby hadn't detected anything either, so the bodyguard took the suitcase back.
This scene was relayed to Zheng Rufeng by an officer. The suitcase's thickness was indeed suspicious; it was noticeably smaller than what the man was carrying.
Lin Yuan gestured with his hands to indicate size. "It wouldn't be appropriate to forcefully detain her. I'll have someone keep an eye on her and see what she’s doing in Haishi."
Zheng Rufeng nodded. "That's a plan." It wasn't just issues here; there were various situations arising elsewhere as well.
During a previous gathering with several executives, including Mr. Xu, one of them had his leather shoes slashed open with a small knife. It was somewhat amusing, considering the shoes were designed to add height. However, this was just a minor incident. After everyone had gone through customs checks, Lin Yuan and the others left.
According to Zheng Rufeng, their mission here was essentially complete; they only needed to bring back the three corpses. The female attendant had been recruited from the ship and did not enter through any backdoor; her identity and background were all fabricated, including her name.
Zheng Rufeng pulled out the information on her. "Is there no other contact visible on the surveillance footage?" he asked. The monitoring showed that her movements were normal, but it couldn't be ruled out that she might have been compromised.
The surveillance systems on the ship were different from those at home, and Lin Yuan knew that even if they managed to restore the footage, they likely wouldn't find much. The person they met had worn a mask throughout.
"Has Jiang Jinchuan finished his tasks?" Lin Yuan inquired. At this prompt, Zheng Rufeng remembered that their police station had more than one consultant present.
"I hadn't noticed that; I suppose he should be done by now? We can't just bring in a few incapable people," Zheng Rufeng said as he dialed someone at the police station. Today marked the third day since they were supposed to complete their tasks within the designated timeframe; if they didn't finish now, it would become a laughingstock.
As they drove down the highway, Lin Yuan gazed at the distant scenery. Over the past couple of days, his crime statistics had increased again. For some reason, it seemed that whenever he got involved with these cases, the numbers would automatically rise.
Currently, there was no hiding his whereabouts at the police station; even within the cases he was handling, his presence could be traced. This couldn't continue.
"Captain Zheng, our director should still be in the office at this hour, right?" Lin Yuan asked. Although unsure why Lin Yuan was asking this, Zheng Rufeng nodded.
"There are no meetings today; it's been quiet lately." The allocation of resources and personnel at their station generally went through the director's hands. In fact, compared to district offices, they had more matters to deal with.
"Could you take me there?" Lin Yuan requested.
"Sure, I've already submitted your transfer request over there; they'll arrange your accommodation as well," Zheng Rufeng replied.
At that moment, Lin Yuan felt fortunate that he had only recently arrived; otherwise, he would have had to deal with moving all his belongings multiple times. He picked up his phone and called his landlord. The landlord was reasonable and agreed to refund his deposit after understanding the situation but kept half a month's rent.
By late morning, Lin Yuan met with the district director. Compared to the chubby figure of the previous director he knew, this one appeared significantly slimmer.
"Consultant Xiao Lin?" The director greeted him.
"You can just call me Lin Yuan," he replied somewhat helplessly; he felt as if he was always being addressed in such a formal manner despite being younger.
"Haha! No worries! I appreciate you young people," the director chuckled. "So tell me, what brings you here today?"
However, if it were to bring you over, we wouldn't need to discuss this matter any further; the situation at the police station has already been resolved.
Who would be unhappy with such a capable person under their command? In any case, he is much happier than he was at the police station.
Lin Yuan then began to address his main concern.
You should have a general understanding of the situation in our district. There are individuals who want to take action against me, and this has happened more than once or twice.
I know about the Red Blood organization, Lin Yuan continued.
Before the district chief could assure him that the police station could guarantee safety, Lin Yuan interrupted him.
It's not the Red Blood.
Hmm? The chief didn't quite understand what Lin Yuan meant.
The organization targeting me in secret is another group altogether. In fact, they aren't even a single organization; they merely have some sort of cooperative relationship and want to work together against me.
Lin Yuan, I don't quite understand what you're saying. The chief looked at the young man before him with suspicion.
According to the information displayed, Lin Yuan was just an ordinary delivery worker, and his background was clear and easily traceable.
What I mean is, I need to temporarily conceal my identity. Whenever I'm involved in a case, could you please ensure that the police keep it confidential?
Lin Yuan made his request.
Confidential? The chief seemed puzzled.
However, when it comes to task assignments, personnel are fixed. If you're not on-site, that's one thing; but what if you are?
Lin Yuan had considered this issue as well.
Isn't Ling still at the police station? Just report his name; our builds are similar enough.
This matter still requires Ling's consent, and you need to use his name naturally.
However, seeing that Lin Yuan indeed had both strength and intelligence, few would quibble over such details.
