Chapter 18

Huo Shaoheng stood with his hands behind his back in the surveillance room next to the interrogation room.

In front of him was a transparent one-way wall. He could see what was going on in the room across from him, but not him.

"Huo Shaoheng."

"Huo Shaoheng."

The people monitoring the interrogation in the room immediately stood up.

Huo Shaoheng raised his arm and gestured to them as he stared fixedly at the situation behind the wall.

Hu Chuanxin had only lasted 15 seconds in the interrogation room of the Special Operations Forces base before confessing everything.

"… That Japanese woman is called … Yamaguchi Youko … I met her when I was drinking at Fulin Restaurant. She was alone at the time and heard me bragging to my buddies about finding a powerful aphrodisiac … I was happy, so she came over and introduced herself as having the best aphrodisiac in the world. She just wanted to see if I could afford it." Hu Chuanxin endured the immense pain and stuttered out.

This Hu Chuanxin wasn't stupid after all. He actually knew to hide the fact that they were using the aphrodisiac against Gu Nianzhi.

Huo Shaoheng's eyes were dark and unfathomable. He raised a hand to rub his chin and thought for a moment before turning to leave. At the same time, he turned on his Bluetooth headset and ordered Zhao Liangze, "Investigate Yamaguchi Youko."

Because Hu Chuanxin had traded with Yamaguchi Youko before, he knew more about her, so Zhao Liangze joined the interrogation to get more information about Yamaguchi Youko from Hu Chuanxin.

The more detailed the information, the easier it would be for him to find this person.

After leaving the interrogation room, Zhao Liangze returned to his office and immediately went online to the Imperial Customs database to search for the Japanese tourist named "Yamaguchi Youko" who had entered the country this year.

Soon after, lines of data were sent back. Zhao Liangze's hands flew across the keyboard as he gradually narrowed down his search area.

After 15 minutes, he had narrowed down the information to only three women.

"Huo Shaoheng, we found that 15 Japanese women named Yamaguchi Youko entered the country this year. Excluding the 12 who don't match the age, there are three left. The first and second left our country a month ago and don't match the time Hu Chuanxin said. Only the third Yamaguchi Youko entered the country half a month ago and happened to be in C City during that time. We also found that her credit card had been used at Fulin Restaurant. If I'm not mistaken, this Yamaguchi Youko was the one who sold H3aB7 to Hu Chuanxin. "

"Yeah. Why did it take so long? " Huo Shaoheng was a little dissatisfied. Hu Chuanxin had already explained it so clearly, but it still took 15 minutes.

"Huo Shao, they used cash for the transaction. If it was done through the banking system, I would have found out in less than a second. "Zhao Liangze pleaded bitterly on the other end of the phone.

"Cut the crap. Where is Yamaguchi Youko now?" Huo Shaoheng stood up and prepared to gather his men to arrest her.

Zhao Liangze typed away on the computer for a while, searching for the latest information on Yamaguchi Youko.

Unexpectedly …

"Oh no! Huo Shao! She's already on the plane back to Japan! " Zhao Liangze's face turned ashen. "She got on the plane back to Japan before we got Hu Chuanxin's statement."

Huo Shaoheng slammed his fist on the table. "Keep investigating! Get me the documents from the customs! "

Zhao Liangze immediately used his highest authority on the internet to access C City's customs system.

C City was the largest city in the Empire. There were countless international flights going in and out of C City every day. It was not easy to investigate one person among so many flights, but it would be much easier if they knew the flight number.

Zhao Liangze used "Yamaguchi Youko's" name and passport number to find her flight number back to Japan. He then pulled up the footage of her exit customs and sent it to Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng opened the large screen in front of him and squinted at the crowd at the C City airport customs on the screen.

Zhao Liangze identified her over the phone. "Huo Shao, this is Yamaguchi Youko."

In the C City airport customs video, Yamaguchi Youko smiled at the camera.

She had thick, medium-length hair and wide bangs on her forehead. Her large, black-rimmed glasses covered half her face, but it was still possible to see that her face was as fair as a silver plate. She had thin red lips and thin eyebrows. She looked a little like an ancient Imperial court lady, but she also had the appearance and makeup of a Japanese woman.

Huo Shaoheng frowned and got up to turn off the large screen. He immediately ordered, "Can you connect to the Japanese database? Find out who she is … "

Someone who could get their hands on H3aB7 would not be an ordinary person.

Zhao Liangze loved being a hacker, but unfortunately he had always been restricted by the rules and could not do whatever he wanted on the Internet.

However, this time with Huo Shao's authorization, he immediately became excited and rubbed his hands together. "No problem! Where to hack? Japan's security system, or their financial system? Will it affect the security of Japan's Internet? "

Huo Shaoheng said coldly, "… What does Japan's Internet security have to do with me? I just want you to find out where this woman came from. "

Zhao Liangze said, "… Understood!"

He treasured every opportunity to hack another country's Internet.

These opportunities were rare, and it was one of the reasons he joined the Special Operations Forces.

As a former world-class hacker who had been recruited, he was very satisfied with his current job. Not only could he satisfy his interests, but he could also serve his country.

Strings of code flew between his fingers as he typed it out, continuously testing the security holes in Japan's Internet.

As long as he found one, he would be able to open an opening and enter the curtain on the other side to see a different view.

Before daybreak, Zhao Liangze had already successfully cracked the Japanese intranet password and wandered through their domestic computer network.

However, the results he found were not optimistic.

Zhao Liangze's expression became more and more serious. Ten minutes later, he sent the information to Huo Shaoheng.

"Huo Shao, Yamaguchi Youko is closely related to Japan's largest mafia organization, the Yamaguchi-gumi. Also, according to the information, she died in a car accident as soon as she returned to Japan …"

Huo Shaoheng sat in his study with a large screen on the entire wall in front of him.

He rested his chin on his hand as he sat in the high-back chair behind the desk and focused on the information on the screen.

It was all information that Zhao Liangze had just obtained from Japan's intranet, accompanied by subtitles and explanations.

"… Huo Shao, is this incident related to Japan's largest mafia, the Yamaguchi-gumi? Then are we going to deal with the Yamaguchi-gumi? "Zhao Liangze was discussing this issue with Huo Shaoheng on the other end of the phone.

Deal with the Yamaguchi-gumi?

Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything. His deep eyes were as dark as the night. He gently stroked his chin with one hand, feeling the light green stubble that had just grown out. With the other hand, he took out the gold coin from his pocket and played with it again.

Based on his intuition, the trail ended there.

It was not that they did not dare to go against the Yamaguchi-gumi, but why did they have to go against them?

How could a dead person like Yamaguchi Youko prove that it was really related to Japan's largest mafia, the Yamaguchi-gumi?

The entire incident was closely linked, leading them to follow the clues and get to the bottom of it. Only then did they find Yamaguchi Youko. However, Huo Shaoheng's intuition told him that this kind of "following the clues" was too easy.

The clues seemed clear, but there was actually a mystery hidden within.

If it really was the Yamaguchi-gumi's doing, what was their motive? Why did they directly choose Gu Nianzhi?

And Huo Shaoheng believed that Gu Nianzhi's existence would not be known by the Yamaguchi-gumi.

The Empire's military had hidden her very well. Otherwise, Gu Nianzhi's blind university classmate would not have used such a vicious and stupid method to plot against her.

But if it wasn't the Yamaguchi-gumi, why would the mastermind lead them to the Yamaguchi-gumi? What was the real motive they were trying to hide?
