"What's going on?" Lu Zheng asked.
"The situation is quite complicated," Lin Wan frowned and said, "There are three tasks. One is to rescue a colleague from i Country, another is to investigate the details of the suspect's current transaction and gather evidence of their cris, and the last is to figure out the information on the suspect's trading partner."
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Your people got captured again?"
Lin Wan was speechless, "Can you not use the word 'again'?"
"Alright." Lu Zheng nodded, "The last ti it was a death, indeed not a capture."
Lin Wan, "..."
Lu Zheng chuckled and tried to soothe Lin Wan, drawing an arc, "Are you handling it yourself, or do you need my help?"
Lin Wan sighed, "Help , I'm afraid I won't be able to rescue my colleague in ti."
Lu Zheng nodded seriously, putting the jokes aside, "Care to elaborate?"
"Don't rush, my director didn't explain clearly to either. Well, here cos the detailed information."
Lin Wan held her phone, and with a "ding" sound, the information arrived.
"The data is set to non-transferable, let's return to the room to review it together," Lin Wan suggested.
Lu Zheng nodded in agreent, with no objections.
...
Shadun, on the surface, appears to be an entrepreneur from i Country, but secretly he runs a force in the jungles of the Northern Three Countries. He's a sowhat renowned white-collar figure in the circle.
His products have been sold to multiple Southeast Asian Countries, attracting the attention of law enforcent from several countries, though previous undercover operatives have all gone missing. This transaction was the last piece of information sent out by the last undercover operative.
Upon receiving the information, Shadun was already boarding a flight to Qiong Province Ya City.
To keep information confidential, i Country dispatched an Interpol agent to trail and find evidence.
However, before Hua Country could offer targeted support and deploynt, the i Country Interpol agent lost contact with headquarters.
"This is the last ssage sent by that policeman," Lin Wan turned to the last line on a page of the information.
[After the suspect answered a phone call, he headed to the restaurant. I'm preparing to check his bedroom.]
"Is this guy courting death? This is a classic movie scenario! Even the protagonist would barely escape death, and he's just a passerby. Does he have a death wish?" Lu Zheng complained.
"Anyway, he went missing after sending this ssage last night."
Lin Wan switched off her phone, "Since no one filed a report, aside from i Country's branch, no one knows a police officer from Interpol is missing."
"Tsk tsk," Lu Zheng shook his head, "Calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging!"
It's likely that ordinary tourists or even hotel staff haven't noticed.
Hmm, maybe in a few days, a staff mber will notice soone missing, but by then, it's likely everything is over, and there won't be any news. Most people will remain ignorant of what happened.
Lu Zheng looked at Lin Wan, "So, what's the support for handling this case? Can you mobilize the local police for help?"
Lin Wan frowned and shook her head, "No, to avoid alerting the snake, Interpol hasn't notified the police in Ya City. Also, to attempt to catch Shadun's syndicate in one fell swoop, we're trying not to arrest him instead. We're focused on gathering as much transaction information and evidence of the cris as possible."
Lu Zheng lightened his frown but didn't propose he should intervene since this case is under Interpol's jurisdiction, so naturally, they will continue handling it.
"Priority on rescuing your colleague?"
Lin Wan nodded, her brows furrowed slightly, pondering, "It's been nearly a day since last night... still alive?"
"No idea, let's check it out," Lu Zheng noticed the room number from the information about Shadun.
Building A, Room 0801, Ocean View Supre Suite.
"Are you coming with ?"
"Of course!"
...
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan set out to investigate, surely not resorting to disguises, probing, or infiltrating.
A simple Invisibility Technique sorted everything!
The two didn't head straight to Shadun's ocean view suite but rather first visited the room booked by Lin Wan's missing colleague.
Lu Zheng lightly touched his finger, True Qi moved, and with a click, the door lock magically unlocked.
With a gentle push, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan entered the room.
"They've been here," Lin Wan said.
The room showed clear signs of being searched—items from the suitcase and docunt bag scattered everywhere. However, all remaining materials in the room were trivial, while those related to Shadun had vanished completely.
Lu Zheng moved his Seal Technique and extracted three strands of Qi from the room.
One large, two small.
Obviously, the large one was the Qi from Lin Wan's colleague.
Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng, "How's it?"
Lu Zheng nodded, "Lucky enough, still alive."
Lin Wan's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great! Where?"
Lu Zheng sensed carefully, then turned to look towards the sea.
"On the sea?"
"On the sea," Lu Zheng nodded.
"On a yacht?"
"Likely," Lu Zheng replied.
"Why didn't the details include Shadun renting a yacht?" Lin Wan was slightly annoyed.
Lu Zheng shrugged, "Clearly, you guys were unaware."
Lin Wan, "..."
Lin Wan frowned again, then promptly led Lu Zheng to Shadun's suite.
"There's soone inside," Lu Zheng said, "Five people, not matching the details."
Lin Wan said, "Shadun ca to Ya City with a secretary, an accountant, and four bodyguards, seven people in total. But now there are only five."
"So, the other two are likely watching your colleague on the sea," Lu Zheng said, "Here's the question: if you rescue your colleague now, will Shadun dare continue the transaction?"
Lin Wan thought for a mont and said, "Let's head to the yacht first. I think, before Shadun completes the transaction, he shouldn't harm my colleague."
Lu Zheng nodded, "Let's go!"
...
Water Walking, not to ntion Lu Zheng, even Lin Wan can achieve before exhausting her Blood Qi.
The yacht Shadun rented hadn't gone far from the shore, or rather it was very close, visible to the naked eye.
The pair quickly arrived near the yacht, boarded it, and in a lower deck storage room, found a man bound like a dumpling.
"Is it him?"
Though swollen and bruised, Lin Wan recognized him, "It's him."
"Tsk tsk tsk," Lu Zheng glanced at several ballast stones placed not far from him, "Looks like he's dood."
Lu Zheng looked at Lin Wan, "If we return to monitor Shadun, you might not make it in ti."
Lin Wan shook her head, "No, we'll wait for them right here."
"Huh?"
Lin Wan raised her eyebrows, "How could Shadun rent a yacht specifically to dispose of a body? Clearly, his current transaction will happen on this yacht."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng shivered and decisively gave a thumbs up, "Boss, you're amazing!"
