Late at night, in a hotel room in London …
"Um …" Zhao Yu pointed to the electronic portrait and said, "His nose is higher, and his face is thinner than it looks. But … Now that I think about it, the old man must have disguised himself. His beard looks a little fake …"
"Alas, it's a pity that I was so focused on the case that I ignored these details!"
"Yes!" Ding Lan murmured, holding the electronic portrait. "Maybe the old man you saw was a young man!"
"Tsk tsk …" Miao Kun spoke on the laptop screen. "I'm not being pretentious. Do you believe me? Looking at this old man, I really feel that he looks a little familiar! "
"But …" Miao Kun scratched his head. "He just looks familiar, but I can't tell who he looks like!"
"Godfather," Ding Lan said. "We learned in class that this is called the familiarity effect after disguise! If a person is disguised, they will definitely have some familiar features. "
"That's true." Zhao Yu frowned and agreed. "I also feel that this person looks a little familiar! It wasn't just now, it was the same when I first saw him. But then I remembered that he was a famous conductor of an orchestra, so it was natural that he looked familiar!
"So, I didn't think too much about it …"
At this time, Miao Kun yawned and said, "Okay, it's too late now! I'm going to bed. Don't talk too late. Let's continue tomorrow! "
"Okay, good night!" Ding Lan said and hung up the video call.
"D * mn!" Zhao Yu cursed angrily. "This old guy is also sleepy, which means that he doesn't have a time difference with us. Is he also in London?"
"Well, brother-in-law, you know the rules," Ding Lan said with a smile. "You can't ask about this kind of thing!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yu turned around and walked to the middle of the room. At this moment, the room was full of documents, just like a criminal investigation office.
"Brother-in-law, you haven't had a good rest for two days!" Ding Lan said worriedly. "Listen to me, take a rest today!"
"No way!" Zhao Yu said. "Old Li is in danger, and we don't know whether Amerola is dead or alive. Many of our friends overseas are all threatened by the successor. I must find a solution as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Ding Lan peeled an orange and said worriedly, "I contacted Reina in Morocco yesterday, but I couldn't get in touch with her. I'm about to send someone over to check!"
Oh …
Hearing the name Reina, Zhao Yu suddenly thought of the dragon and the three phoenixes in the Western Sahara Desert. Reina, Amelora, and Ding Lan had fought their way out of the house of evil together.
"This kind of treacherous person," Zhao Yu said. "Since you can't deal with me, you only know how to deal with my friends. To deal with this kind of person, you have to do what you did with Long Di. If you threaten my friends, I will threaten your family. An eye for an eye!"
"Um …" Ding Lan said, "But you're really awesome. It's a miracle that you could rescue those five agents from Hawaii!"
"Don't worship me, I will become arrogant!" Zhao Yu said seriously. "Actually, I took advantage of their loophole. The successor wanted to get rid of that malignant tumor, and they are now in a state of internal strife."
"No matter what, it's still too dangerous!" Ding Lan said worriedly, "My sister told me that she's worried about you the most, Brother-in-law! You can't risk your life too much. You have to know that many people are worried about you! "
"I know, but …" Zhao Yu said modestly. "That's all I can do. What should I do? Don't worry, I won't risk my life. I know what I'm doing! I won't do things that I'm not sure about! "
"Here …" Ding Lan handed the peeled orange to Zhao Yu. "Have an orange! After you finish eating, go to bed. I'm leaving … "
"Oh, thank you!" When he took the orange, Zhao Yu looked up at Ding Lan. His sister-in-law was still so beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel lost.
Time seemed to have returned to the time when he first met Ding Lan in Morocco.
"What's wrong?" Ding Lan saw Zhao Yu staring at her in a daze, so she asked, "Is there anything on my face?"
"No." Zhao Yu quickly waved his hand and said bluntly, "I think you've become more beautiful! Not only are you beautiful, but you've also become more mature … Ha ha ha … "
"Tsk …" Ding Lan narrowed her eyes. "Do you want to flirt with me again? Bad brother-in-law, ha ha ha ha … "
Listening to the silvery laughter fade away and the sound of the door closing, Zhao Yu's fantasy came to an end.
He had a lot of female friends, but when he was alone with Ding Lan, his heart was in turmoil.
Sigh …
Zhao Yu rubbed his face and quickly focused on the case.
In the past two days, although the Secret Service had increased their efforts, there had been no clues about Long Dan, the killer with the left ear.
Since this person left London, he hadn't shown up again. He hadn't touched his bank card, phone, medical insurance, or death record.
Because he had no relatives or friends, no one had ever reported him missing.
Since Long Dan's bank account hadn't been touched, Zhao Yu guessed that Long Dan must have disappeared! And it was very likely that he had been kidnapped.
Since the successor had been asking him to investigate this case, Zhao Yu had good reason to suspect that the person who kidnapped Long Dan was probably the successor himself!
In this way, things became interesting.
Zhao Yu began to guess that the purpose of the successor's asking him to investigate this case was not to find the murderer, but something else.
Therefore, Zhao Yu traced back the whole thing and targeted the foreigner who was very close to Xin Jia from Ping City!
He suspected that the mysterious foreigner was the successor!
Because the foreigner was very close to Xin Jia from Ping City, he naturally took it to heart that Xin Jia from Ping City was killed. Therefore, after years of tracking, he finally found that Long Dan might be the killer with the left ear.
Therefore, he had already caught Long Dan and avenged Miss Xin Jia from Ping City.
Now, he asked Zhao Yu to investigate this case. Maybe he wanted to use this case to help Zhao Yu find out his identity?
It was a pity that Zhao Yu had contacted Yangshan Masako, but she hadn't found any clues about the mysterious foreigner.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu glanced at the line of Chinese characters left on the newspaper again.
"Hearing about you is not as good as meeting you in person. I look forward to meeting you next time …"
The handwriting was crooked, and it was obvious that the other party wasn't proficient in it. However, through this line of words, Zhao Yu could still see that it was full of murderous intent!
The successor seemed to be kind, but in fact, it was only on the surface. From the great purge that he had done to the tumor and Yaksha, this person must be a cruel and merciless character!
Then …
Who is he?
Zhao Yu thought about how the successor had several opportunities to put him to death or even kidnap him.
However, he didn't do so in the end. Why?
Recalling the whole incident, including Li Bencheng, it seemed that the successor didn't really want to kill him. Otherwise, Zhao Yu would have seen Li Bencheng's body in the backyard of the concert hall!
It seemed …
Zhao Yu carefully recalled again. He suddenly thought of an important point.
Hey?
In the whole process of confronting the successor, it seemed that the successor only wanted to kill one person, right?
Xi Mengna …
Right!
Zhao Yu remembered that in the parking lot of Jingjiang Ancient Temple, the truck driver who had been threatened by Yaksha directly hit Xi Mengna. It was obvious that he wanted Xi Mengna's life!
However, for others, it was obviously much more lenient.
Why was that so?
Could it be …
Just like that, Zhao Yu kept thinking along this line of thought.
During this time, he read all the information again. Finally, at around two o 'clock in the morning, he suddenly had an epiphany.
Holy sh * t, the successor … it can't be him, right?!?
