Chapter 3549: He always has to give me face.

Li Yalin's sigh did not make Ye Chen think too much about this aspect, but he felt a huge pressure in an instant.

In Li Yalin's eyes, the other party already has the ability to rival his parents. The first thing he thought of was that since the other party is so powerful, can he still find Xiao Churan?

In fact, Li Yalin himself didn’t think much about it.

He just couldn't help but sigh that among people like him, he only knew Ye Chen's father and mother, but he had never thought that either of Ye Chen's father or mother was still alive.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Inspector Li, the other party has set up so many smokescreens and left so many true and false clues. How should we investigate next?"

Li Yalin was silent for a moment, then asked him, "Master Ye, do you really have to find Mrs. Ye?"

Ye Chen blurted out: "Of course, no matter what, I must find her!"

Li Yalin smiled and said, "Then you don't have to worry too much. I will do my best to help you sort out the clues bit by bit until you find Mrs. Ye!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt relieved.

Knowing Li Yalin's character and his abilities, he could at least feel half relieved when he said this.

……

Houston and Melbourne are nearly 15,000 kilometers apart.

Anjia's plane needs to land and refuel on the way, so it will take at least seventeen or eighteen hours to arrive.

Ye Chen himself didn't know how to investigate the case, and since Li Yalin didn't come, he could only clumsily start with the surveillance video, trying to check Tang Sihai's movements.

But Tang Sihai was much more cautious than Ye Chen had imagined. First of all, all the surveillance videos in the hospital were out of service. According to the hospital, the reason for the outage was that the computers in the computer room were infected with a virus, and the hard drives of all the surveillance videos were damaged, making it almost impossible to recover the data.

Secondly, the surveillance videos around the hospital were targeted and destroyed before the incident.

Someone used an air gun to shoot lead bullets, shattering the camera lens or interrupting the camera's transmission line.

This lead bullet is ignited by compressed gas and contains no gunpowder, making very little sound when fired.

Although its power is not as great as a real gun, it has almost no recoil. If it is paired with a high-precision air gun and sights, it can hit targets two to three hundred meters away with extremely high accuracy.

This type of gun is legal in many countries and its quantity far exceeds that of real guns. Many farmers use this type of gun to hunt mice and wild wolves. From one or two hundred meters away, it is easy to shoot through a mouse's skull with one shot, and breaking a lens or cable is naturally no problem.

Moreover, the coverage and angle of the camera itself are often not large enough, so as long as the vandal grasps the position and distance, the side hit will hardly be captured.

Melbourne's surveillance coverage is much lower than that of major Chinese cities, and there is no cross-surveillance in many places. Therefore, as long as the surveillance at this location is knocked out, this area will become a surveillance blind spot.

Because of this, the police could not find any witnesses or any useful clues.

Just when Ye Chen was at a loss, Tang Sihai had already taken off from Port Hedland Airport and headed for Osaka, Japan.

Just like when he entered Australia, this time he still entered the airport through abnormal channels arranged by An Chengxi and left directly on a special cargo plane.

This way of leaving the country allowed Tang Sihai to almost completely hide his whereabouts. It was impossible to find him by simply tracing his clues. Unless one could find the key person and ask for clues from him, one would be in the dark.

Meanwhile, at the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto.

This temple, which is very famous in Japan, is now completely closed.

Normally, Kinkakuji Temple is renovated once every one or two years, but most of the time the renovation work is not very large. It is nothing more than repainting and applying some gold foil, and some repairs, which can be completed in a few nights.

However, this time, Kinkakuji Temple announced that several buildings had become dangerous due to their age, so they needed to undergo large-scale renovations and would be closed for at least one and a half months.

An Chengxi settled here at this time.

Jing Qing had arrived secretly a few days earlier than her and had already communicated with his disciple, the abbot of Kinkakuji Temple.

The abbot of Kinkakuji Temple is named Kongyin, a 125-year-old enlightened monk. Although he is in his twilight years, his pursuit of Buddhism has not diminished in the slightest. His disciples once showed him a video of Master Jingqing's lectures, and Kongyin was extremely shocked by Master Jingqing's profound understanding of Buddhism.

Kongyin believed that after being a monk for 110 years, his understanding of Buddhism was still less than 60% to 70% of Jingqing's, so he resolutely decided to take Jingqing as his teacher and let him be his final guide.

Last year, Kongyin went to Putuo Mountain in person, nominally for a Buddhist exchange between Chinese and Japanese monks, but in reality, he took this opportunity to meet Jingqing and ask to become his disciple in person.

Jing Qing was originally unwilling to accept, but Kong Yin was extremely obsessed with the Buddhist teachings he analyzed. Not only did he kneel down and beg in front of Jing Qing, he even solemnly asked Jing Qing to be his disciple in front of the media from China and Japan.

Kongyin did this not to commit moral kidnapping. He was originally a leading figure in the Japanese Buddhist community. If he really became a disciple of the young Jingqing in public, it would be tantamount to lowering the status of the entire Japanese Buddhist community. However, he still did not care, because he firmly believed in a Chinese saying, which is that if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening.

He hopes that in his final years, he will have the opportunity to comprehend the most profound Buddhist teachings available today.

After all, the Buddhist scriptures written thousands of years ago are not something that everyone can understand. The more in-depth the study, the deeper the comprehension. The Buddhist teachings are like spiritual practice. Even if you are only one level deeper than others, there is still a world of difference.

Jing Qing was afraid that Kong Yin would really do this and make too much noise to attract unnecessary attention, so he reluctantly made a private agreement to accept Kong Yin as an anonymous disciple and teach him Buddhism, but he was not allowed to reveal the master-disciple relationship to anyone.

Kongyin has been studying Buddhism for 110 years and is extremely devout to the Dharma. Since Jingqing agreed to teach him the Dharma, he will fully comply with all other requirements. Therefore, no one in the outside world knows that the two people, who are several decades apart in age, actually have a master-disciple relationship.

A few days ago, when he learned that Jingqing wanted to come to Kinkakuji Temple to practice seclusion for a period of time, he immediately arranged for the Kinkakuji Temple to be rebuilt and left one of its most secret courtyards to Jingqing. Not only did he not visit him, but he also strictly prohibited other people in the temple from approaching.

An Chengxi and Sister Sun and their group stayed here temporarily.

At this time, Jing Qing was communicating Buddhist teachings with Kong Yin in his meditation room. An Chengxi was alone in the courtyard, staring at the ancient pine trees with newly sprouted buds in a trance.

Sister Sun walked across the courtyard corridor and quickly came up to her. She whispered respectfully, "Madam, Sihai has taken off and is expected to arrive in Osaka in eight hours. I have arranged for someone to pick him up and bring him to Kyoto as soon as possible."

An Chengxi nodded and asked her, "What's going on over there, Chen'er?"

Sister Sun said: "We have arranged for a number of people to investigate in China, and the Ito family has also sent a number of ninjas to help."

An Chengxi said calmly, "It doesn't matter. Let them investigate. No matter how they investigate, the clues will be disconnected at several key points. With so many circuit breakers, it's impossible for them all to fail."

Sister Sun added, "But I just heard that Inspector Li has left for Melbourne from Houston."

An Chengxi frowned slightly and blurted out, "Inspector Li? Li Yalin?"

"Yes!" Sister Sun nodded. "Young Master saved his life. I think now is the time for him to repay his kindness."

An Chengxi pursed his lips for a moment, then said solemnly, "Ya Lin is a problem. To him, given enough time, any case can be solved. Investigating us shouldn't be a difficult task. With his abilities, a year or two will be enough."

Sister Sun said worriedly, "One or two years is too short a window of opportunity. The possibility of Young Master surpassing the Poqing Society within one or two years is slim to none..."

An Chengxi smiled and said, "That's fine. Yalin is a smart man. If he really has any clues about our situation, I'll go meet him. He'll definitely give me face."

At this point, her expression froze, and she said solemnly, "No matter what, the most important thing is not to delay Chen'er's development. Wu Feiyan's time is running out. She will only become more and more crazy and hysterical in the future. Chen'er must be fully prepared. Otherwise, once Wu Feiyan makes a desperate move, both the An and Ye families will become her targets!"
