Chapter 556 Fighting Dan Yu
"Sister Hua Yan, it's all my fault for not recognizing your greatness and offending President Qiu. I'll apologize to him right away."
Having been around the block before, Shan Yu could easily understand Hua Yan's implied meaning.
“Uncle Jiu is soft-hearted. He softens when someone says nice things to him. But I feel sorry for him. Look at him now, he looks thinner and more tired than last time.”
Hua Yan is blatantly looking for a way to settle scores later.
Hmph! An apology is no substitute for Qiu Jiu's exhaustion.
If he hadn't been forced to, why would Qiu Jiu have abandoned his affairs in Shenzhen and Xiamen and come to Kyoto?
"Sister Huayan, I know I've caused President Qiu a lot of trouble, and I will definitely make it up to him."
Dan Yu felt this tactic was so familiar. Oh! It turns out he used it all the time.
Haha! I've been hunting eagles all day, but today I've been pecked by one.
“Young Master Shan Yu, you can’t let Uncle Jiu suffer in silence. He’s soft-hearted and definitely won’t accept your gift. Just force it on him. If he doesn’t accept it, it means he hasn’t forgiven you. If you say that, he’ll definitely accept your apology gift.”
Hua Yan began to offer advice, fearing that Qiu Jiu might be too embarrassed to admit her anger and end up venting her frustration with a few words of apology.
"Okay! Sister Huayan, I understand. I will definitely make President Qiu satisfied."
"When are you coming back to Kyoto? I'll treat you to a meal."
Dan Yu tried to get close to Hua Yan. He used to think Hua Yan was capable, but after his brothers cooperated with her, they realized that Hua Yan was truly capable, beyond their wildest imaginations.
"Okay! When you come back, I'll treat Young Master Shan to dinner."
The matter had been discussed openly, and revenge had been taken for Qiu Jiu, so Hua Yan finally gave Shan Yu some face.
To conduct a more in-depth investigation into this group of "scalpers," Hua Yan still needs reliable leads from Shan Yu and the others. If these people are sensible and cooperate with her investigation, it's not impossible that they might be treated leniently or even given a break.
Who understands the "scalper" best? It has to be the scalper himself! That's why Hua Yan has always kept in touch with Shan Yu and the others.
"Thank you for giving me face, Sister Huayan. I must invite you to show my sincerity."
"Once I've finished dealing with things here, I'll head back to Kyoto. I hope you'll do me the honor of joining me then!"
Dan Yu silently kowtowed three times to Hua Yan in his heart, praying that the girl wouldn't hold a grudge.
"Okay! I won't argue with you anymore. I still have something I need to work with you on later."
Haha! Cooperation? It means letting him expose other people's secrets.
"Huh? Really?"
Dan Yu was somewhat flattered and somewhat incredulous.
"Yeah! Really."
What followed was a string of thanks and flattery from Shan Yu.
Qiu Jiu got her phone back and still felt like she was dreaming.
“Uncle Jiu, whatever compensation Shan Yu gives you, just say a few polite words and accept it without feeling guilty. I'll back you up.”
Hua Yan felt genuinely sorry for Qiu Jiu at this moment. He was just an ordinary citizen. The highest official he had ever seen before was the village chief. Now, having seen the world with Hua Yan, he had met the town mayor and the mayor. But when he heard that Qiu Jiu was a high-ranking official from the capital, he still couldn't help but tremble with fear. There was no reason for it; it was just a sense of submission from his bloodline.
I heard that this high-ranking official was going to apologize to him and give him compensation. I was really scared and panicked.
However, Hua Yan seemed to be his calming presence. With her words, Qiu Jiu felt at ease and was no longer flustered or afraid.
"Jiu'er, your Ninth Uncle knows. Your Ninth Uncle misses you."
Qiu Jiu's feelings for Hua Yan are the same as those for Hua Jingxing, Chai Lu, Hai Yitian, and Liang Dong. He regards Hua Yan as his own daughter, feeling proud of her while also feeling ashamed of himself. Hua Yan is too outstanding, while he is too insignificant.
The words "Uncle Jiu misses you" are Qiu Jiu's true feelings. At this moment, he just wants to see Hua Yan, the child who changed his life and gave him endless possibilities.
Without Hua Yan, he might still be farming in the countryside, thinking all day about how to maximize the yield of his limited crops. But now he thinks about how to learn more, keep up with societal progress, and keep pace with Hua Yan.
He wanted to see Hua Yan, and also wanted to see how this child he hadn't seen for so many days was doing. A few days ago, when he went to Kyoto, she wasn't at school; instead, she had something important to do.
He wanted to see Hua Yan because he wanted to see how this child, who had given him relief and redemption from his confusion, could have such an aura that made him feel so at ease and secure.
He wanted to talk to Hua Yan because he wanted to tell the child that he hadn't been able to solve the problem well, causing her worry, and that he felt somewhat guilty for betraying her trust.
He wanted to tell Hua Yan that he wasn't afraid of these people, and that he would never be afraid again. His only worry was that his rash decision might cause Hua Yan unnecessary trouble.
"Uncle Jiu, I'll come to see you in a few days. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Okay! Uncle Nine is waiting for you."
Upon hearing the news that Hua Yan was coming, Qiu Jiu burst into tears without warning.
Seeing Qiu Jiu crying and laughing on the phone, Shan Yu felt very uncertain and racked his brains for a way to make amends.
Hua Yan hung up on Qiu Jiu and immediately called Xue Biao.
"Uncle Xue, who is in charge of the information that the Kyoto investigators have been given? Have him compile it. I'll introduce someone to him in a couple of days; it might help advance the investigation."
"Ninth Master, Ge Peng is in charge. Let me talk to him."
Xue Biao was summarizing his work. He had already contacted An Xin, who told him to hand over his domestic work as soon as possible and then go to Country B to work.
"Okay! Let him contact me directly. How are your preparations going? When are you leaving?"
"The handover is underway, and I'll be leaving in a week."
"Yes! Once we get to Country B, the mission will be more dangerous than it is back home. Be careful and coordinate well with your teammates."
"Yes! I know, Brother Xin told me."
Xue Biao was both excited and nervous about the mission to Country B.
"Okay! You go ahead and do your work. Feel free to call me anytime if you have any questions."
Hua Yan had a high opinion of Xue Biao's ability to disguise and conduct reconnaissance; otherwise, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to assign him to An Xin.

Shengjing Municipal Bureau
At this moment, Ren Yi, Tong Tianci, and Luan Yu were exhausted, but their spirits were high because the serial murder case that had tormented them for months had finally been solved.
"Old Tong, we finally caught this grandson. If Jiu'er hadn't reminded us, we would never have guessed that the murderer was actually a woman."
Ren Yi's eyes were bloodshot as he slumped into a chair.
They haven't slept for several nights in their efforts to catch a murderer.
"That's right! If it weren't for Jiu'er, we wouldn't have known that the red scarf was the key to solving the case, let alone that this bastard sprinkled sleeping pills on the gloves to knock the victim unconscious before committing the murder."
Tong Tianci leaned back on the stool, too tired to even drink water.
It turned out that after listening to Hua Yan's analysis, the group decided to take the initiative and specifically bought red scarves.
In addition to the personnel in the Criminal Investigation Division who were not on duty, all of them were assigned to this case.
They worked in pairs. One person wore a red scarf with a metal band around their neck to prevent being accidentally slashed on the throat. The other person was responsible for monitoring those around them and also protecting their colleague wearing the red scarf.
This time, they didn't arrange for the female comrades to wear red scarves because, according to the information provided by the victims, the murderer was about 1.8 meters tall and had a burly build, so ordinary female comrades would not be a match for him.
Five teams were deployed to participate in the operation, with Ren Yi and his team serving as the mobile rescue team.
For a week, the five teams operated within a fixed area to ensure that if the killer saw them, they would take action.
The first people targeted by the killer were the comrades who had been staking out the area near the riverbank. They had been loitering there for nine days, appearing at fixed times and along fixed routes, all to help the killer find a pattern.
