Chapter 47 Detective Showdown, Another Extortion
Lin Guocai took the initiative to find Qiu Jianbang, a well-known private investigator in Hong Kong.
Chiu Kin-pong was originally a sergeant in the Major Crimes Unit of the Southern District Police Station. However, after his girlfriend committed suicide, he became self-destructive and addicted to alcohol, eventually resigning and becoming a private investigator.
"Hello, Mr. Qiu."
Lin Guocai extended his hand and shook hands with Qiu Jianbang, then took out a stack of photos of their affair and handed them over: "Someone tried to blackmail me with these photos today."
"I need your help to find the person who is blackmailing me."
"This is payment."
Lin Guocai handed over another HK$100,000, saying solemnly, "I'll pay you another HK$200,000 after it's done."
He really went all out this time to find the blackmailer behind the scenes.
Qiu Jianbang took the photos and quickly glanced at them. He was used to wealthy men being photographed and blackmailed for having affairs, and calmly asked, "When were these photos delivered to you?"
"Someone delivered it to my company's front desk this afternoon."
"Furthermore, this photo was just taken today, which means that person has been following me all day."
"Oh, and he also told me to put the money in a locker at the Landmark shopping mall in Central at 5 p.m. tonight," Lin Guocai added, providing a crucial clue.
"I understand." Qiu Jianbang nodded, took out a notebook and pen and handed them over: "Write down your entire schedule for the past week."
Lin Guocai did as he was told and recorded his movements throughout the day.
"I'll go to collect the money this afternoon. You can keep an eye on it from the shadows and see who comes to collect it." Lin Guocai planned to go to the appointment in person, which would give Qiu Jianbang an opportunity to expose the mastermind behind the scenes.
Qiu Jianbang nodded upon hearing this, thinking to himself that Lin Guocai was the most cooperative and willing to provide assistance among all the employers he had ever met.
If all goes well, we should be able to find out who's behind this today.
In the afternoon, following the itinerary written down by Lin Guocai, Qiu Jianbang checked the surveillance footage at each location, trying to find the appearance of the person who was following and taking photos.
In this way, we can compare the person with the person who went to the locker at Landmark Mall to withdraw money, and confirm whether the person was someone who was following Lam Kwok-choi, or the real mastermind.
An afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Guocai arrived at the locker in the Central Landmark shopping mall on time and locked the bag containing HK$20 million in cash inside.
Qiu Jianbang hid in the shadows, holding a camera, vigilantly observing his surroundings while ready to take pictures at any moment.
At this moment, Lin Long was sitting by the window in a coffee shop on the upper floor of the mall.
After watching Lin Guocai put the money into the locker, he slowly drank his coffee for a while before getting up and going downstairs.
When he was still seven or eight meters away from the locker, his keen senses passive skill suddenly triggered an alert, indicating that someone was monitoring him within a 30-meter radius, and the system marked the other party's location.
Lin Long continued walking forward without stopping, while subtly glancing in the direction of the mark.
A man holding a video camera stood by the railing on the second floor.
After scanning the area, Lin Long secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finding only this one monitor within his sensing range.
Fortunately, he had disguised himself with a ghost mask before coming.
With that thought in mind, Lin Long walked straight past the lockers, circled the first and second floors again, then left the mall, drove off, and sped away.
Throughout the entire process, his keen senses did not issue any further warnings, confirming that there was only one person monitoring him.
Lin Long drove the car to a secluded corner without surveillance cameras, and once again used the Ghost Face Cream to disguise himself. He not only changed his face, but also changed his clothes and shoes to a completely different style. He then took out a mask and hat from his system space and put them on.
After doing all this, he hailed a taxi and returned to Landmark Mall.
He pretended to be wary, looked around, and then slowly walked to the locker, opened the door, and took the bag containing 20 million yuan in cash.
This scene was witnessed by Qiu Jianbang, who was hiding in the shadows.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the camera and took several pictures of Lin Long.
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Jianbang rushed downstairs and chased after Lin Long.
Lin Long seemed to only then realize that someone was following him, and he suddenly quickened his pace and ran away.
He deliberately let Qiu Jianbang follow him for a while before turning left and right, going around several alleys, and finally shaking him off completely.
"Depend on!"
Qiu Jianbang, with his hands on his knees, was panting heavily, extremely annoyed at losing Lin Long.
He has not received any systematic training since leaving the police force.
My physical strength is no longer what it used to be.
Qiu Jianbang still thought that he was left behind by Lin Long because he was not strong enough.
Little did he know, Lin Long had been deliberately slowing down to keep up with him; otherwise, he would have been left far behind in the Landmark Mall.
More than ten minutes later.
Lin Long took a taxi back to the street without surveillance cameras, got back into his car, opened the bag and counted the cash inside; it was exactly twenty million Hong Kong dollars.
However, Lin Long showed no intention of stopping. On the contrary, Qiu Jianbang's stalking of him gave him a reason to continue extorting Lin Guocai.
Lin Long took out a new cell phone and a new SIM card from his system space and dialed Lin Guocai's number.
Inside a detached villa in Repulse Bay.
Lin Guocai picked up the phone and answered: "Feed?"
"Lin Guocai, you've got some nerve, daring to have someone spy on me!" The voice on the other end of the phone was chilling.
"What? I didn't!" Lin Guocai's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously raised his voice to deny it.
"Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart." Lin Long snorted coldly. "Now, I've changed my mind."
"Tomorrow at 5 PM, same place, this time I want 30 million."
"If you don't give them to me, I'll send those photos directly to your wife."
After Lin Long finished speaking, he hung up the phone decisively, leaving Lin Guocai no room for negotiation.
"Hello! Hello!" Lin Guocai growled, gripping his phone tightly, his face ashen.
Afraid of disturbing his wife Miao Keyi in the living room, he dared not make a scene. He could only clutch his phone, quickly hide in the bathroom, lock the door behind him, and call Qiu Jianbang.
"Hello, Mr. Lin..."
As soon as the call connected, Lin Guocai, barely containing his anger, demanded, "What on earth did you do?! He discovered you were following me, and now he's trying to blackmail me for thirty million!"
Qiu Jianbang's voice deepened: "Mr. Lin, I used to be a sergeant in the Major Crimes Unit. Tracking and counter-tracking are my old professions."
"But this person is not simple. I had only followed him for a few steps when he noticed me."
Lin Guocai frowned, his tone agitated: "What do you mean? You mean this person is even more capable than you?"
"Don't worry, I'll dig out the truth about this person as soon as possible." Qiu Jianbang's voice was full of confidence: "Even if I can't find him right away, I'll ask my friends in the police force for help. Next time we pay the money, we'll definitely take him down."
"Fine, I'll trust you one last time," Lin Guocai said through gritted teeth. "Tomorrow afternoon, same time, same place, pay the money."
After saying that, he slammed the phone down.
Outside the bathroom, Miao Keyi's voice could be faintly heard. Lin Guocai took a deep breath and calmed the anger on his face.
On the other side, Qiu Jianbang's face turned cold as he listened to the busy tone on his phone.
At the same time and in the same place.
This wasn't extortion; it was clearly a deliberate provocation, and they were after him!
Qiu Jianbang grabbed the camera, opened the photos inside, his gaze sharp as a knife, and said in a deep voice, word by word, "I'll remember you!"
