Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 916: 563. Calculation and Killing 3

Qing Chen turned to the Thunder Snake Building next door to the noodle shop, and in a secluded spot, he took off his jacket and walked into the elevator with Qing Zade’s face.

From this moment, Qing Chen’s expression became serene, steady like a machine, with not a ripple in his gaze.

After escaping from the A02 base, this wasn’t Qing Chen’s truest state, but it was the most precise.

His pupils narrowed, every detail etched in his mind, then comprehensively sorted into the Memory Palace.

Floor 137, here you can overlook the entire Fifth District.

Qing Chen arrived at room 13708’s door, quietly listening to the sounds inside.

After 12 seconds, he gently turned the doorknob; the so-called strongest smart lock of Blue Shield Company was nothing in front of ‘Power’.

One must admit, Qing Chen’s current attire of Taboo Items is an assassin’s standard: the transparent ‘String Puppet’, the door-opening ‘Power’, the disguise ‘Da Fu’, and the long-distance sniping ‘Convince by Virtue’.

This is the assassin at its peak.

Qing Chen walked inside silently; just as he entered, a well-proportioned young man greeted him, using a white towel to wipe his hair.

“You!” The young man stepped back, reaching for a gun holster on his desk.

But before he could draw the firearm inside, Qing Chen was already upon him!

Suddenly, Qing Chen struck like lightning, attacking the adversary’s throat with the knuckle of his tightly curled index finger, leaving the opponent only able to emit gurgling sounds.

With just one strike, he dismantled all combat capability of the opponent.

He took the gun from the opponent’s hand, then nonchalantly searched around the room, finding no one else.

Qing Chen sat on the opposite sofa, quietly watching the young man choke to death after his throat was crushed.

This was one of the C-Class bodyguards beside Jindai Yunhe, Takahashi Zuo.

They had three shifts: one guarded at Jindai Yunhe’s residence, one as a driver, and the other, including the deceased, accompanied Jindai Yunhe to events.

In the past two days, every time Qing Chen saw bodyguards in the Black Swan, he was among them.

And it was only this person who had a similar height and build to Qing Chen.

He opened Takahashi Zuo’s wardrobe; strangely, there were many shirts but only one suit.

“Is there something different?” Qing Chen meticulously examined the suit, but ultimately found nothing unusual.

Qing Chen put on Takahashi Zuo’s white shirt and suit, then headed to the rooftop.

Here, unknowingly placed by someone, a black box awaited him; he input the password to open it, revealing firearms neatly inlaid within, along with a smart module, which was only equipped by the Federal Army Group.

He leisurely assembled the parts one by one, adjusted the scope and stand, his hands stable like smart machinery on a precision machine tool, each move exact.

He silently recalled the entire map of City 22,

Finally, Qing Chen turned and left the rooftop, leaving the firearm at the top of the building.

According to Jindai Yunhe’s rules, Takahashi Zuo must arrive at the Upper Three Districts by 4 p.m. every day, then start his work.

After 4, Jindai Yunhe will promptly leave, either to play mahjong or drink tea with someone, extremely consistent in his habits.

Consistent as if intentionally allowing people to trace the pattern.

Qing Chen knew there was something amiss and knew Jindai Yunhe was meticulous and had many contingencies, but that was not important.

Jindai Yunhe leaves at 4 p.m., the Black Swan Restaurant opens at 6; regardless of whether he can kill Jindai Yunhe, after the action, he will inevitably face a citywide manhunt, timing to return to the restaurant to use that identity as a shelter at that moment.

Yesterday, Jindai Yunlo came to the Black Swan to find Qing Chen; at the bar table, during idle chat, he disclosed the most crucial piece of information that Jindai Sorajima had already gone to City 21 and wouldn’t return for a while.

Meaning, if Qing Chen acts, the Jindai Consortium won’t be able to use the Cloud Mirror to find the culprit.

Qing Chen knew this information was spoken for him by Jindai Yunlo.

But Jindai Yunlo didn’t know that whether Jindai Sorajima was in town or not, Qing Chen would choose to act swiftly.

As for whether there would be tracking after action, he naturally had different strategies to deal with it.

…

…

The Third District, Cloud Mansion community.

This is the most luxurious high-end residence in the Third District, 35 floors high, each floor 6 meters tall, so even with only 35 floors, it’s taller than the hundred-story buildings in the Fifth District.

Qing Chen’s iris was verified, taking the elevator to the 35th floor, waiting with five other bodyguards.

At 3:59, Jindai Yunhe left on time.

He stood calmly before all bodyguards; all bodyguards raised their right arms, Qing Chen followed suit.

At this point, the gemstone cufflinks on the right arms of all their suits were somehow pushed open from inside, and the embedded gemstones dropped to the ground.

The next moment, from inside each cufflink, crawled out tiny hairy spiders, half the size of a fingernail!

Covered in white fluff, with big black eyes, they appeared somewhat cute.

Qing Chen knew Jindai Yunhe’s power was spiritual communication, so controlling white-haired spiders hidden in the bodyguards’ cuffs allowed him to know whatever happened after the bodyguards left him!

No wonder Jindai Yunhe permitted bodyguards to leave him; no wonder Takahashi Zuo’s wardrobe only had one suit. The entire secret was hidden in that tiny cufflink.

Conventionally, bodyguards of corporate magnates absolutely can’t act alone; Takahashi Zuo could return home to the Fifth District only because he was the bait released by Jindai Yunhe.
