Chapter 132: The Dark Walker
BMW 4S store, Chu Yan and Mo Xi Yao sat in the customer reception area, facing each other was a professional technician, next to the professional technician was Mo Xi Yao's client manager.
"Miss Mo, you've heard what Master Wan said. This matter has nothing to do with the car itself, but rather someone tampered with the brake system, causing the car's brakes to fail. Here is the inspection report for this time. Additionally, the brake system has been repaired and a comprehensive inspection and maintenance have been performed on your car. I believe that the car will not experience any further malfunctions." The customer manager was extremely polite to Mo Xiuyao, but of course, he had also reached this conclusion after Master Wan's very professional and detailed inspection, so his politeness carried a hint of detachment.
"Alright, I understand. I'd like to have a private conversation with Master Wan." Mo Xiuyao knew that the probability of her car's main system malfunctioning on its own was extremely low. However, after hearing the customer manager's explanation, she couldn't help but want to ask Master Wan more questions in detail, because this matter was not trivial. This time, the braking system was damaged, and who knows what kind of human sabotage might occur next?
"Alright, you guys chat first, I'll go busy." The customer manager nodded and left after a polite sentence. Mo Xiuyao stared at Master Wan and asked a question she had been concerned about all along: "Master Wan, how long does it take to break the brake without triggering the anti-theft device?"
"Miss Mo, you've got me stumped on this one. There are ways to avoid triggering the anti-theft device, but they're not many. And under the premise of not triggering it, we'd also have to damage the car's braking system. That's a very high difficulty level. Honestly, with my current understanding of the car and my skills, if it were just a test or an exam with some equipment assistance, I might barely be able to do it. But in everyday life, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to. Sorry, Miss Mo, nothing else to say, I have other things to attend to, excuse me." Master Wan said, getting up with a apologetic face and leaving. Mo Xiuyao wanted to ask more questions, but Chu Yan had already stopped her.
"You're asking this question is a doubt of the technician's integrity, they didn't get angry already gave you face, still want to go ask what?" Chu Yan smiled and stopped Mo Xiuyao from continuing to ask, then said a sentence with some helplessness.
"What? I was just casually asking, do you have to be so serious about it?" Mo Xiuyao was a bit angry. The technician not only didn't answer her question directly but also left immediately, which in Mo Xiuyao's eyes was the greatest disrespect.
"Alright, I can give you the answer you want, but shouldn't we leave here first and head back to Silver Palm? I need to take a closer look at those tapes and find out who's trying to kill you as soon as possible, so you can rest easy sooner. Also, it would be best if you looked into the Yamato Koya Group and found out who leaked the information to them. Treating the symptoms but not the root cause will only provide temporary relief. As for what Wan Ji Shi said about the brake system being tampered with, Chu Yan had already figured out the reason behind it. And as for Mo Xi Yao's question, it's actually quite simple for a professional."
"Alright, let's go." After hearing Chu Yan's words, Mo Xiuyao stopped insisting and stood up to leave the 4S store. At the entrance of the store, her car was spotlessly clean, even the right rearview mirror that had been scratched and rendered useless had been replaced with a brand new one. The efficiency of the 4S store was generally acceptable.
"Let me do it instead." Seeing Mo Xiuyao still wanting to get into the driver's seat, Chu Yan smiled and got in first. Mo Xiuyao's mood was a bit unstable today, getting overly excited and then feeling down, this kind of extreme emotional fluctuation made her easily distracted. It wasn't a big deal if Mo Xiuyao got distracted, but if she got distracted while driving, the consequences would be disastrous, it could even cost lives!
After the car started, Chu Yan tried the brakes and only after confirming that the brakes were completely fixed did he slowly increase his speed. Mo Xi Yao, who was sitting next to him, continued to ask the question that had not been answered yet, "How can you do it?"
"Have you heard of the Pulse Engine?" Chu Yan didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked a question. Mo Xi Yao actually had some knowledge about it. "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
"Well, that thing is rarely seen on the market, a low-end pulse generator, which is ridiculously expensive, and most of the time it's not even available for purchase. But once you have it, stealing cars becomes incredibly easy."
"A single pulse release can probably disable the car's anti-theft system for about five minutes, and in those five minutes, it would be easy to destroy your brake system. So you should understand that the person who did this is absolutely a mastermind, and it can almost be confirmed that one of the three killers was involved." Chu Yan said at the end, his face becoming extremely serious because Mo Xiuyao had always been too careless about the killer, although this had the advantage of not being too nervous, but also lacked sufficient vigilance. So Chu Yan had to remind Mo Xiuyao appropriately, making her clearly recognize the situation she was currently facing.
"Can you tell me about those assassins? Are they really like in the movies, killing people without batting an eye?" Mo Xiuyao had always been skeptical of assassins in her heart, after all, with the current global militarization, it should be difficult for such a profession to survive.
"Do you want to hear?" Chu Yan looked at Mo Xiuyao with a somewhat uncertain tone.
"Well, I want to know what kind of hitmen there are now. Are they like the ones I heard about in America, cold-blooded and ruthless, carrying sniper rifles and shooting targets everywhere?" Mo Xiuyao's understanding of hitmen was limited to movies and her memories from that time in America.
"Alright, I'll show you something when we get back." Chu Yan said, speeding up the car. They didn't say another word until they saw the Silver Palm Tree in front of them. After getting out of the car, Chu Yan and Mo Xiuyao entered the Silver Palm Tree and headed straight to the third floor.
"Come take a look," Chu Yan said, opening Mo Xiuyao's computer at the same time and turning on the wireless Bluetooth transmitter on his phone, transferring the data from his phone to the computer, then clicking open a resume-like image.
"This person is one of the assassins who took on the task, named Takekawa Ryūji, a Japanese assassin with a somewhat mysterious background. He is a ninja from the Iga school and has already advanced to the rank of Jōnin, but for some reason he was exiled by the current leader of the Iga school and became an assassin. Although he is still a newcomer in the assassination world, more than ten people have died at his hands." On the screen, a photo of a young man with a clear appearance but somewhat sinister eyes was being enlarged by Chu Yan.
"It doesn't seem like there's anything special about him, what did he use to kill people?" Mo Xiuyao was very curious, because the person in the photo looked like a high school or college student, except for his eyes which seemed somewhat cold, there was nothing unusual about him. This was vastly different from the image of a killer that Mo Xiuyao had in her mind.
"With a knife, this kid is the kind of guy who is proud to the bone, even if he was expelled from his school, but still follows the way of a ninja, hiding in the dark, attacking stealthily and completing his tasks. His weapon is also one of the favorite weapons of ninjas - knives, and some other messy ninja hidden instruments are also his killing tools." Chuyan explained it very clearly, Mo Xiuyao didn't quite understand what Iga school or Hoko school was, but she understood that this young man was a killer who had killed at least ten people without being seen, and maybe the next one he would kill would be herself!
"Then, can you beat him?" Mo Xiuyao looked at Chu Yan's tall figure and asked uncertainly.
"Don't worry, the Iga style of ninjutsu may be one of the greatest schools of Japanese ninjutsu, but don't forget that Chinese martial arts are even more profound and complex. Let's just say that I'm also a master of martial arts, so before I die, you won't be able to die either." Chu Yan smiled and made a joke, but he didn't take Wu Chuan Long Er seriously because he already knew about his existence, including his appearance and basic information. This situation, which seemed like the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light, was actually the opposite for Wu Chuan Long Er - as long as he dared to appear, Chu Yan would take him down with the upper hand.
The most troublesome thing for Chu Yan was the one who needed to be found out at this time, the Dark Walker Selos. This guy who walked in the dark was really the most headache-inducing one for Chu Yan. As for the Throat Slasher, Chu Yan's worries were even lower. After all, the Throat Slasher was a close-range killer, and anyone who could sneak up to Mo Ye Yao without being detected by Chu Yan was probably non-existent in this world. In other words, if someone really could do that, then Chu Yan might not have the power to protect Mo Ye Yao even if he wanted to.
"Actually, the gap between assassins and mercenaries has been getting smaller and smaller. In the past, mercenaries would take on high-risk missions in small teams, but now lone mercenaries are becoming more common, taking on a wider range of tasks, even including assassination missions that should be exclusive to assassins." Chu Yan said this much, looking at Mo Xiuyao's confused expression, before chuckling and stopping. "Never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway. All you need to know is that someone wants to kill you now, but before I die, no one will be able to touch you. So for now, go take a rest, catch a quick nap, while I review these surveillance tapes - it's going to take some time!"
"Alright, I'll go take a nap first. You call me when you're done, and tonight I have to go pick up Caesar and we'll eat dinner together." Mo Xiuyao nodded, indeed, she really wasn't interested in the profession of killer, she just wanted to understand the difference between her own understanding and reality.
Chu Yan nodded, watching Mo Xiuyao walk into the bedroom, but this little girl didn't close the door, don't know if it's psychological tension or not, anyway, with Chu Yan around, she could still sleep soundly.
He casually opened the surveillance video of the Nanshan Convention and Exhibition Center parking lot, Chu Yan's line of sight began a rapid and accurate scan. From when Chu Yan and others left the parking lot to after they finished visiting the car show and came out again to get in the car, this period of surveillance video was as long as three and a half hours. Moreover, it was six cameras shooting from different angles, so time, at this moment, flowed away exceptionally quickly.
When dusk arrived, in front of Chu Yan, the six video files were all frozen on one frame. The figure in the picture was finally recognized by Chu Yan!
"I've found you!"
