105: The easiest puzzle ever!

"Why do you think I'm waiting for someone?" Lin Jia's smile held a hint of confusion.

Wang Lin gazed at her face: "Look at this face, so innocent."

"Tsk tsk..." he praised, "I've been observing you since you got close to the underground air-raid shelter."

"You took a call when you entered. It's just that because I had already turned off the signal relay device, your phone signal was poor."

"And that call, I believe, was from the person you were waiting for. The purpose of his call was precisely to warn you..."

Wang Lin looked at Lin Jia's face with interest and said something earth-shattering: "Sun Xiangdong is dead!"

The smile on Lin Jia's face finally turned to a look of astonishment, then a bitter smile.

"So that's it," she said with a sigh.

She finally understood what that sentence she hadn't heard clearly before was.

Yuan was saying, you are in great danger now.

Wang Lin even killed Sun Xiangdong, which shows that he has made up his mind to cut off all leads pointing to him.

And if Wang Lin doesn't care about someone as influential as Sun Xiangdong, let alone Lin Jia.

But she was secretly shocked.

Wang Lin was indeed a clever person, and Lin Jia was indeed trying every possible way to stall for time.

From the first second she saw Wang Lin, she recognized him. After all, Wang Lin had been one of the targets of her investigation during this period, but the other party was hiding too deeply, and she hadn't found any leverage at all.

As a last resort, she chose the cold storage as a breakthrough point.

Thinking back now, all her actions were actually under Wang Lin's observation, and it could even be said that he had actually been waiting all along, waiting for her to find his smuggling point.

What method he used, Lin Jia didn't know. She had been as cautious as possible during this time, and in order to shake off surveillance, she hadn't even gone home for several days.

And she also took taxis when she went out, telling the driver she was in a hurry every time she got in.

With her appearance and demeanor, every taxi driver did their best, driving the car as fast as possible. Some drivers even considered running a red light without hesitation if Lin Jia hadn't explained that she wasn't *that* rushed.

Lin Jia trusted professionals; she was sure that when it came to speeding in the City, no one was more professional than these drivers who were intimately familiar with every street and alley.

Lin Jia sighed softly in her heart.

Yuan's reminder was right; the closer you get to the truth of the matter, the closer you actually get to danger.

She was still a bit too arrogant after all, thinking that as long as she made it impossible for the other party to track her, they wouldn't be able to grasp her whereabouts.

But she overlooked that when the other party had already made certain decisions, he didn't need to know where she went at all.

He just needed to know where she would go.

Lin Jia knew that so-called wisdom was mainly the ability for logical analysis.

Being able to accurately grasp the key to the matter and patiently wait for her to deliver herself, allowing him to completely detach himself from this matter. After all, coming to this cold storage was Lin Jia's own decision; she hadn't told anyone, nor had she received a call from anyone or been deceived by anyone, so it was impossible to link it to Wang Lin.

From this perspective, Wang Lin was indeed entitled to be proud.

It's just a pity that every personality has two sides; this was a sentence Lin Jia learned from the information Yuan sent her.

Pride is a strength, but also a weakness.

Because confidence and arrogance are only a line apart.

Especially for a proud, intelligent person, what he desires most is, as Lin Jia said, for others to understand his intelligence and pride.

Therefore, when he encounters someone worth talking to, like herself, even though he knows she is stalling for time, he will still choose to play with fire, slowly and methodically telling her about his pride.

Because he believes he can control the situation, he even enjoys the feeling of giving her hope and then suddenly taking it away at the most crucial moment.

"You've had people follow me for so long, I have no secrets from you at all," she said with a radiant smile. "I am indeed waiting for someone even smarter than you, and I think you know who that is."

"I do know who he is, but I'm not certain," Wang Lin said with a smile. "And honestly, I'm much more interested in him than in you."

"He should have guessed your situation by now, if he isn't foolish."

"So, how to find your location is the first problem he is facing now."

Wang Lin said enthusiastically, "This problem is actually the simplest one among the many tests I've prepared. I hope he isn't an idiot who can't even solve such a simple puzzle."

"I believe he won't disappoint you," Lin Jia smiled sweetly.

...

Su Yue rushed back home in less than ten minutes.

He didn't waste any time and went straight to Lin Jia's bedroom on the second floor, not even knocking, just turning the doorknob.

The door opened readily; Lin Jia didn't have the habit of locking her bedroom door at home, clearly showing her great trust in Su Yue.

A faint fragrance filled the bedroom, and the quilt and other things were neatly arranged. Lin Jia's water cup and her laptop were also on the desk.

Su Yue casually picked up the water cup; the water inside was completely dry, leaving a round mark on the desk.

Clearly, Lin Jia hadn't been back for several days.

And up until now, Lin Jia still hadn't replied, and calling her mobile phone directly resulted in a message that it couldn't be connected.

This clearly indicated that Lin Jia had indeed encountered danger.

After scanning Lin Jia's room again, Su Yue turned and walked downstairs.

What he needed to do first now was to find Lin Jia's location!

Entering the Intelligence Outpost, Su Yue spoke directly.

"System, activate surveillance!"

"Surveillance has been activated!" the System's voice echoed in the basement, and a large screen lit up.

Su Yue scanned the dense images on the large screen, directly selected one, and enlarged it.

The screen was currently showing Lin Jia's bedroom, and Su Yue began to drag the progress bar.

He quickly adjusted the surveillance date to four days prior, which was the day Lin Jia installed surveillance in the bathroom.

It was also on that day that Su Yue used the simple program written by Li Haoyang to connect all nearby surveillance feeds to the Intelligence Outpost's surveillance network, including the one Lin Jia initially installed in her own bedroom.

Su Yue played the surveillance video file directly at four times speed, and when he saw Lin Jia start operating the computer, he slowed down and stared closely at Lin Jia's fingers.

The surveillance resolution wasn't high; Lin Jia hadn't installed an ultra-clear camera in her bedroom, as she just wanted it to serve as a warning.

Coupled with the angle issue, Su Yue couldn't see the content on Lin Jia's computer screen from the surveillance feed at all. He could only speculate about the content on the computer based on what Lin Jia's fingers typed.

Lin Jia's typing frequency on the screen wasn't high; she used the mouse more often, clearly indicating she was likely browsing the web. The first letters Lin Jia typed were quickly deduced by Su Yue based on the keyboard position: wbjcep.

Su Yue switched to Wubi input and typed this string of letters on the computer, getting the two characters: Creative.

Su Yue nodded slightly, his guess was indeed correct.

When Lin Jia felt danger, and even installed a camera in the bathroom for it, what she would search for was clearly very likely related to the direction of her investigation.

He fast-forwarded again, and only stopped when Lin Jia continued typing.

Several times in a row, Lin Jia searched for things Su Yue already knew, including Wang Lin, Sihai Shipping, and even Kelly Investment.

Su Yue was slightly anxious. He was originally a calm person, but Lin Jia's encounter with danger made it difficult for him to maintain a detached composure.

Stay calm.

Su Yue took a deep breath. If he couldn't find a starting point through surveillance, then he would have to think of other ways.

It's just that other methods would take a lot of time, and Su Yue knew deeply that the most crucial thing now was time.

The longer time dragged on, the more dangerous Lin Jia would be.

Just then, Lin Jia on the screen put her fingers on the keyboard again. Su Yue cast aside other thoughts in his mind and focused on Lin Jia's fingers.

IIUT?

Su Yue pressed the keys according to this group of letters, and the next second his eyebrows lifted.

Water Products?

What was Lin Jia searching for Water Products for?

Su Yue stared at the screen, while Lin Jia on the screen kept operating the mouse and occasionally operating on her mobile phone, clearly recording something.

Clearly, Lin Jia's search for Water Products wasn't random; this was the direction of her investigation.

It's just, what was the connection between Water Products and Lin Jia?

Su Yue casually opened a webpage and started searching for Water Products, and a long list of results popped up.

Su Yue scanned down the list, and when he saw the third one, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Out of an intelligence agent's instinct, Su Yue also knew a little about cosmetics.

He knew that the raw materials for high-end domestic cosmetics were basically imported from abroad, and most of them were concentrated in the Europe region.

The commonality between cosmetic raw materials and Water Products is that both must be transported using special refrigerated containers.

Including ships, specialized refrigerated transport vessels must also be used, because only these types of ships maintain a low-temperature environment and leave a power outlet next to the container to supply power to the container's own refrigeration equipment.

Clearly, Lin Jia had found some clue that a certain Water Products Company was using the refrigerated transport vessels of Tiancheng Group's raw material transportation to smuggle Water Products!

And the place she went to investigate today is very likely one of those Water Products Companies!

Su Yue quickly opened a webpage and started searching for local Water Products Companies.

The City is close to the coast, and there are many Water Products Companies, as many as eight or nine. However, Su Yue had other clues.

He started searching for the address of each Water Products Company, and when he saw a Water Products Company displayed on the screen, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Nine times out of ten, Lin Jia was here.

Linghe, Water Products Wholesale Co., Ltd.!
