The Mystery of the Inner Demon

"Then I believed it, she would really kill me!" Ge Feng suddenly clenched his hands on the table and looked at Qi Fei, as if every cell in his body was trying to prove that he was forced.

"Then what?" Qi Fei asked expressionlessly while taking notes calmly.

"She told me that Chen Hao had lost the diamonds they brought back from Africa, and she had killed him as punishment.

She needs someone to deliver the diamond to the buyer. Since I am taking over Chen Hao's business, I should also take over this matter."

"You wouldn't agree to it just by threatening me, would you?"

"Well... she said that as long as I complete the handover, I can receive a commission of 50,000 yuan.

When she said that, I remembered that around the time before Chen Hao's accident, this guy suddenly invited us for coffee. We joked at the time that even a stingy person would be plucked out of his feathers.

It turns out that he has found a way to make a fortune.

Under her coercion and inducement, I agreed without thinking.

She said the place she and Chen Hao had agreed to meet at had recently been targeted by the police and was no longer available. She asked me to think of another convenient place for the handover.

She said she would tell me how to trade with the next buyer when she came back.

Then, the female police officer came to the company to ask about Su Jing's flight.

I was confused and just wanted to keep this from being exposed, so I sent her a message.

I promise, I didn’t change the ticket!”

"Are you not thinking straight or are you worried that your commission will be lost?" Qi Fei asked back unhappily.

Ge Feng lowered his head in shame: "Now I know what the saying 'being obsessed with money' means..."

"So you don't know where Su Jing is?"

"Look, she didn't even reply to my message. I really don't know..."

"Brother Fei, why are you re-reading these business orders? Didn't we already find Su Jing?" Wu Shanqiu asked curiously, looking at Qi Fei, who was still concentrating on taking notes on Chen Hao's business orders. "Huh? Did you learn Old Ye's Triple Wave Notation Method?"

“Well, although this method is primitive, it is very useful.

There must be other people on these lists who are involved in smuggling transactions.

I also thought of this after listening to Ge Feng's confession.

You see, Su Jing came back from Africa and handed it over to Chen Hao offline, which only completed the first step.

The second step is for Chen Hao to hand over the item to the next buyer. This is a complete transaction, and Chen Hao can also get a commission.

In order to avoid being tracked, they must try to avoid online contact, such as mobile phones, WeChat, etc.

This is why Su Jing initially sought out Chen Hao. She must have noticed that Chen Hao was very attentive to passengers, providing them with a full-time shuttle service. During this process, they could interact with each other without arousing anyone's suspicion.

"Oh!" Wu Shanqiu suddenly understood. "According to Su Jing's logic, this matter can only be kept secret if the buyer is also Chen Hao's client!"

"Well, so I reviewed the process of their transaction. After Chen Hao got the goods, he had to hand them over to the next buyer as soon as possible. So anyone who asked Chen Hao to book a ticket shortly after Su Jing returned to China is suspicious. I have found several suspicious candidates." Qi Fei said, and handed the list to Wu Shanqiu.

"Baicheng to Nancheng?" Wu Shanqiu saw the problem immediately. "This flight is a connecting flight. The flight is only 20 minutes long. The time spent sitting in the plane is not as long as the time spent boarding. What's this person's name, Jin Yan? Haha, what an artistic name."

"Well, this round-trip flight to Baicheng is meaningless except for the cheap airfare. It seems that people who can afford diamonds worth tens of millions will feel bad about spending a few thousand dollars on air tickets." Qi Fei teased.

"The good thing about this ticketing company's business order is that it has everything, including ID number, phone number. Looking at the fields on the ID card, this person is from Nancheng. Let's take a look at who this Jin Yan is." Wu Shanqiu was ready to search for Jin Yan's information in the system.

"No need, you can find this person by just searching on the Internet." Qi Fei said, tapping the desk with his red pen.

Wu Shanqiu, skeptical, typed "Jin Yan" into Baidu. Sure enough, a long string of search results popped up, and she couldn't help but read aloud: "Virtual try-on plus blockchain traceability, Jin Yan Jewelry pioneers a new model for haute couture, Jin Yan: Tops the list of the new rich, the secret to the traditional Chinese style of custom jewelry... He's actually a celebrity. How could I, a level 10 surfer, not have heard of him?"

"I've read these news reports. They have a strong marketing vibe. They must have paid for it," Qi Fei said. "But it did help us pinpoint his location in Nancheng. These are all photos he posed for in his store."

"Haha, it's true, this guy..." Wu Shanqiu looked at the photo of Jin Yan in the news and pouted, "How should I put it..."

"Just putting on airs, right?" Qi Fei summarized it for her.

"Ah, yes, that hair wax, that suit, and that pose... Haha, it's really unbearable. Oh, here's the address: 22nd Floor, Building A, Yunji Building. Brother Fei, it looks like we have to go meet this Mr. Jin."

Qi Fei looked up at the diamond-faceted twin towers of the Yunji Building. The glass curtain wall bent the Nancheng skyline into a sharp angle. The gate sensor area made a slight sound: "Sorry, you don't have authorization."

Qi Fei showed his police ID to the property management who came rushing over after hearing the noise.

The sightseeing elevator took him and Wu Shanqiu all the way to the top floor, where they had a panoramic view of Nancheng CBD.

"Jin Yan really knows how to choose a place." Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but sigh.

"Privately customized jewelry, he does business with rich people, of course every aspect has to be like that." As Qi Fei finished speaking, the elevator stopped and the door opened, facing Jin Yan's jewelry store.

Inside the store, Jin Yan was diligently accompanying a wealthy older woman to shop. He glanced at the limited edition Cartier on the wealthy woman's wrist, his Adam's apple rolling as he deliberately lowered his voice: "Your bracelet is beautiful, but it's a pity..." He deliberately dragged out his voice, "It's not the only one, it's not worthy of your wealth."

As he spoke, he skillfully pushed the glass cabinet lightly, and the cabinet door suddenly spun automatically. Jin Yan took out a diamond from inside. "Look, we're here to pick out loose diamonds for you first. I'm the only one in the country that has this Angolan pink diamond. If you like it, we can measure the size on the spot and make a ring for you."

"I have an event next month. Can I make it if I wear it?" The rich lady was persuaded.

"If you want to order now, I'll have an Italian craftsman make the ring overnight!"

"Italy? I'm not sure about the round-trip shipping cost."

"Freight? Oh! Talking about money is so vulgar, let's just treat it as making friends..." Jin Yan had a flattering smile on his face.
