Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1398 - 1397
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
Lucy returned to her room, changed her clothes, and came out wearing a jacket with a floral design, which immediately caught Lin Fan’s attention.
Last night, Lin Fan went to Li Zixia’s apartment and found no clues, but he did find a photo in Li Zixia’s wardrobe, a selfie of Li Zixia at the entrance of Imperial College.
In the photo, Li Zixia was wearing a jacket identical to the one Lucy was wearing at that moment.
The key is that this jacket has very typical Huaxia design elements, which means it likely comes from Huaxia. It’s unlikely for Lucy, a high school girl in the United States, to buy such a jacket.
Lucy was a bit puzzled as to why Lin Fan would ask about her jacket and said, "This jacket was given to me by an Asian girl when I just arrived in London three days ago at the dock."
An Asian girl!
Lin Fan said, "Give me the jacket."
Lucy took off the jacket and handed it to Lin Fan, who took it and began searching carefully. Soon, Lin Fan found a string of codes written in blood on the lining of the jacket, which had long dried.
If Lin Fan didn’t have top-notch computer skills, he’d need someone to decode this string, but now he could decode it at a glance.
The code was split into two parts, two words, one word being "purple," and the other "wolf."
What does this mean?
Lin Fan frowned.
Lin Fan took out his phone, found the photo of Li Zixia, and showed it to Lucy: "Is this the person who gave you the jacket?"
Upon seeing it, Lucy exclaimed, "That’s her! Is she the one you’re looking for?"
Lin Fan said, "Do you know which dock you logged in that day?"
Lucy said, "I don’t know, because we just stayed at the dock for a moment. At the time, it was dark, and nothing was visible. When we left, our heads were covered."
Lin Fan said, "So, she fell into the hands of the people who kidnapped you. Tell me about the characteristics of this group of people."
Lucy tried hard to recall: "I remember now, each of them had the same wolf-head symbol on their arm."
The wolf-head symbol corresponds with the figure left by Li Zixia.
Purple represents Li Zixia, and the wolf refers to the kidnapper’s symbol.
Imagine, Li Zixia fell into the hands of the kidnappers that day, found an opportunity to bite her finger, leaving a string of codes in the lining of the jacket. This was her signal for help, but she never found an opportunity to send the jacket out, until she met Lucy and gave the jacket to her.
The kidnappers were too vigilant, and Li Zixia had no chance to cry for help. This was the only thing Li Zixia could do in such desperate circumstances.
This hope was very bleak, and might never have been discovered, but it was Li Zixia’s only option in that situation.
It’s like divine intervention that Lin Fan happened to see the message left by Li Zixia. If Lucy hadn’t been bullied, happened to be encountered by Lin Fan, if Lin Fan hadn’t decided to rescue Lucy, or if Lucy decided to change her clothes, perhaps Lucy had already discarded this jacket. Any variable could have prevented Lin Fan from getting this jacket.
Lin Fan returned the jacket to Lucy and said, "Put it on, and let’s go find Klaus again."
Klaus’s office.
Bam!
Lin Fan kicked open the office door.
At that moment, Klaus and Howard were tidying up the mess.
The door was suddenly kicked open, and Klaus and Howard instinctively raised their guns.
But seeing Lin Fan come in, their guns dropped to the ground in shock, and both raised their hands.
"Sorry, we have no intention of shooting you. We didn’t know it was you coming back," Klaus said quickly, afraid if Lin Fan misunderstood their intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable. He didn’t want Lin Fan to misunderstand.
Both of them smiled bitterly, wondering why this troublemaker returned?
Lin Fan said, "Tell me, from whom did you buy Lucy?"
Klaus was stunned, not knowing why Lin Fan asked this. Did Lin Fan intend to find the seller?
Klaus didn’t dare not answer: "I truly don’t know because I didn’t handle it myself. I took over from a colleague, so I need to ask a colleague. I’ll make a call."
Lin Fan said, "Wait, which underground force in London carves a wolf-head on their arms?"
"Wolf-head?" Klaus thought for a moment, "As far as I know, there isn’t. However, I’ve heard of an Eastern European underground group with wolf-head symbols on their arms. I know this because this Eastern European gang also operates in London."
Lin Fan said, "Do you know what the wolf-head looks like?"
Klaus thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."
With that, Klaus returned to his desk, picked up paper and pen, and drew on the paper, then handed the paper to Lin Fan, "It looks roughly like this."
Lin Fan glanced at it and handed it to Lucy, "Is it like this?"
Lucy looked at it and nodded, "Yes, even though the drawing is a bit ugly, that’s what it looks like."
Lin Fan looked at Klaus, "What’s the name of this underground group, and where can we find them?"
Klaus said, "I don’t know the name of their gang, usually they’re called the Eastern Europeans. I hear you can often encounter these Eastern Europeans in New Han District."
Before coming to London, Lin Fan had already studied the geographical regions of London through maps. New Han District is in the eastern part of London, and the district is within the dock area.
If Lin Fan guessed correctly, this Eastern European gang specializes in kidnapping and transporting captured girls all the way to London for sale.
Lucy was brought to London just like this.
Lin Fan said, "You can make the call now, I need to know from whom your Iron Fist Gang bought her."
Klaus then made a call to Lin Fan, on speakerphone.
"Qian De, it’s me," Klaus said.
A man on the other end of the line said, "What can I do for you, Mr. Claus?"
Klaus said, "I want to ask you about something. I have a new cute American here. I want to know where you bought her?"
The man said, "It was Lizt, he told me he had a few nice ones and asked me to choose. I went to check them out and bought her, why?"
Klaus glanced at Lin Fan and chuckled, "No problem."
Then hung up the phone.
Klaus looked at Lin Fan, "Lizt is a trader; he often manages to get some good ones."
Lin Fan said coldly, "Where can I find him?"
Klaus said, "This guy owns a restaurant in the city; on the surface, he’s a legitimate restaurant owner."
Lin Fan said, "If I can’t find him, it means you’ve leaked information, and I’ll hold you accountable."
Klaus hurriedly said, "I wouldn’t dare; I will never leak information. If you need, I can have someone help you catch him!"
Lin Fan said, "No need, I’ll personally pay him a visit."
