Chapter 478: Detective Chinatown 2 (4)

"Check the time the video was taken."

"May 8th."

"That was the day after Li Zhiyuan's death, and Lin Wanru was still alive!"

Qin Feng and the other two looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement.

“This is a major breakthrough.”

"We have to find her quickly!"

"The New York subway is so big, how do we find someone?"

"There must be a way. She can't live in the subway for so long without food or water. There must be a place where she can stay in the subway.

Kiko, call up the abandoned stations and tunnels on the subway route, and then use the place where Lin Wanru last disappeared as the center of the circle, and the distance that an adult woman can walk in five hours as the radius..."

Following Qin Feng's orders, Lin Wanru's approximate range of movements and possible locations were soon marked out.

The next second, the camera cuts to an abandoned tunnel of the New York subway. Rusty water seeping from overhead is falling down. Qin Feng and the other two are wearing green waterproof windbreakers, walking in the tunnel, looking for Lin Wanru's trace.

"How can you be sure she's there?" Kiko asked doubtfully.

"The numbers Dr. Li left on the wall - and the numbers he wrote in the notebook - one of the numbers is different."

Qin Feng, who was in a hurry on his way, spoke with a breath.

“It was only after I looked at the subway line map that I realized that the special data were the date, time and specific stations.

And there are regularities between these special data.”

"What's the pattern?" Tang Ren was a little curious.

Qin Feng shook his head. "I don't know either, but I found some help and asked someone to help improve Dr. Li's 'quantum decryption' algorithm. I ran it for a while and calculated the subsequent new data."

"You have external aid, could it be..."

Qin Feng immediately glared at Tang Ren, then said:

"According to the new data, Lin Wanru or something else should appear in front soon."

They soon arrived at their destination, turned off their flashlights, and waited patiently in the dark.

Not long after, lights came on in the distance, and a maintenance vehicle marked "PATH 112" drove along the track and stopped next to a "ghost platform" not far in front of them.

This is an abandoned platform in the New York subway network that was formed due to lack of money for maintenance or the surrounding area becoming a slum. Generally, it has been sealed long ago, but occasionally some of them are spotted by criminals and become their secret bases.

Obviously, this is what Qin Feng and the others saw.

In front of them, on the parked maintenance vehicle, several men in black were hurriedly carrying long black bags.

"What are these people doing?" Tang Ren poked his head out from the corner and asked in a low voice, "Are they transporting salted fish?"

Qin Feng pressed his head down, then stretched his head out and secretly looked at the situation not far away.

"How is it possible? Do you have to be so sneaky to transport a salted fish?"

He took out the latest OPPO mobile phone, turned on the advanced magnification photography and infrared fill light functions, and then discovered through the mobile phone camera the emblem of the "Longqing Association" printed on the bag - a crow holding a copper coin.

"It seems that Uncle Qi's Longqing Club is not as simple as we thought. However, we still need to verify what is in those bags."

The three men were also extremely bold. They did not back down because of the environment at the scene. They immediately split up and acted separately. Tang Ren made subtle noises in the distance to attract those people's attention, while Qin Feng crouched down and sneaked over, putting his hand on the long black bag.

When he came back and met Kiko, Qin Feng's face had become much uglier.

"It's a corpse!"

His face was as hard as steel, and his tone was somewhat stiff.

Although they were commissioned by the Longqing Society, that did not mean that Qin Feng would sit idly by and watch the other party commit illegal acts.

"I'll call Officer Chen!"

He took out his cell phone, but the signal bar on it was empty. It was obvious that New York's infrastructure was not perfect and there was no cell phone signal underground.

Before Qin Feng and Kiko could find the signal, Tang Ren, who had lured away the Longqing Society's thugs from a distance, ran into trouble.

After all, the subway tunnel was pitch black and the roads were complicated. Tang Ren couldn't tell the direction and was almost caught up by the guys from the Longqing Society while fleeing in panic.

Fortunately, Qin Feng was there to help him share the pressure, but it was of no use. The three of them ran and soon bumped into each other again, and they lost their way and didn't know how to escape.

boom!
"stop!"

Suddenly, they were startled by the sound of gunfire behind them. Tang Ren's feet went weak and he accidentally tripped over the railroad tracks and fell to the ground.

Qin Feng and Kiko quickly helped him up and pulled him to continue fleeing.

Just when they were about to be caught up, a rusty iron door on the side of the road suddenly opened from the inside, and a shadow poked its head out from the darkness.

"This way! Come in!"

The three of them didn't have time to think and quickly slipped in. The black shadow quickly closed the iron door and jammed the bolt with an iron rod.

The sound of footsteps and curses from the Longqing Society's thugs were heard outside the door, but they soon faded away.

At this time, Tang Ren was sitting on the ground, leaning against the slippery wall.

"I was so scared! I thought I would die here today..."

Qin Feng looked around, then stared at the figure in front of him who had just rescued them, his eyes full of scrutiny and vigilance.

At this time, Kiko took out his mobile phone, and with the help of the light from the screen, they could see each other's faces clearly.

"Why is it you? Where is this? Why are you here?"

The dim light illuminated the slightly haggard face of the woman in front of him. Yes, it was a woman who saved Qin Feng and the others. She was a very beautiful young woman who was full of bookish air.

"This is where I hid. After the teacher found something wrong, he told me this place. After that, I was followed and chased, so I had no choice but to hide here."

A gentle and pleasant voice sounded, and Dr. Li's missing female assistant Lin Wanru (played by Chen Yao) began to explain in front of Qin Feng and others.

"Aren't you afraid that we are bad guys?" Qin Feng suddenly asked.

Lin Wanru pulled up a smile. Although the experience of hiding in the subway tunnel for days made her look a little embarrassed, her gentle temperament remained unchanged, exactly the same as in the photo.

“Besides the people from Longqing Society, only my teacher and I know about this place. Ordinary people won’t come here, and even homeless people won’t choose to go deep into here.

By the way, how is my teacher?"

"Your teacher, Dr. Li? Sorry, he has passed away." When Qin Feng said this, he subconsciously lowered his eyelids, as if he couldn't bear to tell the other party the news.

When Lin Wanru heard the news that Dr. Li had passed away, she felt as if struck by lightning. She froze in place, and her body, which was as slender as a willow in the wind, began to tremble slightly.

"You just said...what happened to the teacher?"

Her voice was very soft, as soft as the wind wandering in a subway tunnel, and the tail end was crushed by the roar of a train coming from afar.

Tang Ren repeated with a serious face:
"Li Zhiyuan is dead. He died in his own basement. Where is the eight guns? We came to you this time just to--"

Before she finished her words, Lin Wanru turned around abruptly and knocked over the phone in Kiko's hand.

The cell phone that fell to the ground provided a shaking, unstable light source. Lin Wanru stared at Tang Ren, her eyes red with tears, even her nose was red. She looked so sad and pitiful that one could not help but want to hug her in their arms and comfort this person who was about to break down.

However, Tang Ren was serious for a rare moment. He hurriedly took two steps back and said "My condolences" embarrassedly.

Lin Wanru was actually stronger than they thought. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back.

However, Qin Feng noticed that her nails had penetrated through the cloth and dug into her palm, leaving no trace of blood on it, only dazzling paleness.

"He always said that quantum entanglement is the most wonderful relationship in the world, more indestructible than love..."

Lin Wanru murmured, and Qin Feng and the other two did not dare to disturb her. They just waited.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the poor girl finally calmed down. After learning the identities of the three people, she did not hide anything and told them all the news she knew.

Lin Wanru took out a yellowed photo from her pocket. It was a photo of her and a young girl. The girl had a bright smile and her eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Lin Wanru.

“This is my sister, Lin Wanqing. She came to New York to study at university last year, but she suddenly disappeared three months ago.

I called the police, but they just registered it and didn't help me look for it.

Later I learned that there are thousands of people like my sister who go missing in New York every year. These are the cases recorded by the police and reported to the police. We don’t know how many more homeless people are missing.

I only have this one sister, so I was naturally very worried. So I found Zhiyuan, after all, his family lives in the United States.

But Zhiyuan asked for help from his elders, but nothing was found. We also checked the surveillance cameras around the time my sister disappeared, but even the video was 'coincidentally' broken. "

"What happens next?" Qin Feng asked.

Lin Wanru fell into memories.

"Of course I didn't give up, I posted missing person notices everywhere and mobilized my connections among classmates, teachers and the embassy.

A few days later, Zhiyuan told me that someone was monitoring us.

I suspected at the time that my sister had been kidnapped, and those people were worried because I was making a big deal out of it. Zhiyuan also said that he would definitely find those people.

But a few days later, one night, he came back with a very grim look on his face. He told me that my sister was most likely abducted by the Longqing Society.”

"It is indeed the Longqing Meeting." Qin Feng nodded.

"The Longqing Society is the largest gang in New York's Chinatown, with involvement in various industries and many shady businesses.

Zhiyuan was originally the only son in the family, but because he could not accept his father's background, he went out on his own to work hard, entered the scientific research community, and cut off connections in this area.

This time it was because of my sister that he turned to his family for help, and then he discovered that the Longqing Society was secretly engaged in illegal human trafficking, smuggling and organ transplantation businesses.

He stole some information about human trafficking from home, including the routes of abandoned New York subways.

Then we used the immature "quantum decoding" technology to crack the encryption on the information and learned their base location here and the time and route of their action."

When the plot develops to this point, there will usually be a turning point.

Sure enough, after learning about the Longqing Society’s hidden underground illegal activities, Li Zhiyuan suddenly fell ill.

"sick?!"

Qin Feng looked at Lin Wanru in confusion. She began to hesitate, as if she was organizing her words.

"Yes, originally Zhiyuan just felt that someone was monitoring him. At first we thought that the other party had discovered our investigation into the Longqing Society, but then Zhiyuan's 'illness' became more serious, and he began to have hallucinations..."

"Countdown?"

Qin Feng suddenly spoke at this time, and Lin Wanru nodded with red eyes.

“Yes, but before we could figure out what was going on, Zhiyuan told me to hide here and be careful and wait for someone to find me.

And then... and then..."

She covered her mouth, but finally couldn't control herself anymore. Big tears rolled down her cheeks, leaving two clear water marks, and then fell to the ground with a plop, shattering into pieces.

Kiko went forward and patted her back to comfort her.

At this time, Qin Feng noticed that at the end of the secret passage they were in, there was a small space with cabinets, beds, and well-packaged food and drinking water.

No wonder Lin Wanru, a weak woman, could hide deep in this subway tunnel for so long. This should be a safe house.

He also noticed that on the wall of the safe house was a map of New York City with several subway stations and tunnels marked on it, one of which was circled in red.

At this time, Lin Wanru finally calmed down and walked into the safe house accompanied by Kiko. Seeing Qin Feng looking at the map, she said:

“The Longqing Society modified a maintenance vehicle and used it as a mobile base to conduct illegal transactions.

This car has been constantly traveling through the subway tunnel to avoid being caught. It appears and disappears mysteriously and is often called the 'ghost car' by citizens who occasionally see it.

However, the people on the 'ghost car' still need to resupply and trade, so they have their own encrypted train timetable.

Zhiyuan and I used the 'quantum decryption algorithm' to crack the information about the Longqing Society's transactions. This is the route and schedule of the car. "

Qin Feng nodded and asked Lin Wanru again.

"Although I am very sorry, our common goal should be to find out the truth and let the deceased rest in peace. So do you have anything else to tell us about Dr. Li?"

When Lin Wanru heard this, her eyes turned red again, but she still thought about it seriously, and then said:

“Kiko just told me the circumstances of Zhiyuan’s death, but I haven’t had any contact with Zhiyuan since I went into hiding.

The communication methods we had agreed on in advance had all failed, and I was very worried, and then I got your news."

"Then do you think Dr. Li's case is related to the Longqing Society? And how much do you know about the Sapiens Company?"

"I don't know," she shook her head. "Although we discovered the Longqing Society, Zhiyuan is the only son in the family after all. I have also met his father, who is a very kind old man."

"As for Sapiens..."

Lin Wanru paused.
