Investigation, Restaurant, Chef!?

Han Ning ignored the system's information and shared his speculation.

"The fishing boat in the ocean that night was a stowaway. It was most likely arranged by the organization behind Li Chunzai, and he probably switched boats midway."

"Then how did an ocean ship that was away from shore send people ashore?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.

"They're not stupid. At that distance, they could just give him something to hold onto and he could easily swim to the shore. Besides, they could do it discreetly without causing any commotion."

After hearing Han Ning's explanation, Zhou Zhan immediately understood how Li Chunzai had gotten involved with the ghost ship.

Then, their expressions turned ugly again. This person had already gone ashore, meaning that it was useless to investigate from the harbor. Then, where should they start?

The two of them looked at Han Ning at the same time.

"We can basically give up on the harbor now. I think it's very likely that the other party has successfully gotten ashore, so let's change the focus of our investigation."

"Do you guys think Li Chunzai knows how to speak Chinese?"

Han Ning suddenly smiled.

"Most likely not," Zhou Zhan said with uncertainty.

"Then, do you think this murderer needs to consider his livelihood before his mission begins?" Han Ning continued to ask.

Han Ning wasn't making wild guesses. According to Li Chunzai's personality, this man was most likely the organization's cleaner and was responsible for killing all the people who were at odds with them.

Since Li Chunzai had sneaked into Hong Kong and did not speak Chinese, how was he going to spend his time before starting on his mission?

"It seems that our next move is already pretty obvious. Zhou Zhan, go and arrange for us to check all the Korean restaurants within a five-kilometer radius of the ports. Focus on checking the restaurants near the South Bay Pier."

“Alright.�

Zhou Zhan agreed and left the office to get busy.

What Han Ning needed to do now was to wait for news. Zhang Zhi was still fighting with the firewall, and the vast information in the database was making him dizzy.

As time passed, there was finally news of Li Chunzai near the South Bay Pier. Some cargo workers at the pier had seen him appear there.

After receiving the accurate news, Han Ning brought Jiang Qing to the South Bay Pier.

There were eight restaurants in the entire South Bay Pier area that were Korean, and only three of them were owned by Koreans.

"Brother Han, what's our mission today?"

After leaving the office, Jiang Qing dressed up like a female student. At this moment, she was asking Han Ning excitedly about the mission.

"Don't you usually say that you are a foodie? Then I'll bring you out to eat and drink on public funds today. Eat as much as you want. I'm just afraid that you aren't able to eat a lot"

Han Ning was holding a huge glass of Hong Kong-style lemon tea. Wearing his usual clothes, he walked along the streets of the South Bay Pier with Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing looked at Han Ning suspiciously.

"Why don't I believe you?"

Although she muttered that she did not believe it, she still followed Han Ning along the streets excitedly.

Han Ning's mission today was very simple. He needed to check all the restaurants owned by the three Korean families in the South Bay.

In the first restaurant, Jiang Qing ordered a lot of food. He was picky about the taste of the food even though he finished all the food on the table.

After Han Ning observed carefully, he ruled out the restaurant they were in and felt that there should be no problem.

Then, they went to the second restaurant. This time, Jiang Qing ordered much less.

Even after walking for a while and digesting his food for a short period of time, his digestion still couldn't keep up with the speed of eating.

There was also nothing wrong with the second restaurant.

"Brother Han, what are your plans today? Can you tell me how many more restaurants we are going to?"

After leaving the second Korean restaurant, Jiang Qing couldn't help but ask with a bitter expression.

"There's only one left. If this last one isn't the one, then we can only wait for Zhou Zhan and Zhang Zhi's news."

Han Ning touched her stomach and drank his large cup of lemon tea. He was very full.

Jiang Qing was somewhat resentful. She ate one dish after another almost seamlessly. Despite being a foodie, she still couldn't stand eating so much food in a row.

Moreover, there were only so many Korean dishes and they were getting sick of them.

The last restaurant was located at the end of the South Bay Pier. The restaurant was located in the corner of the old street. Without someone familiar leading the way, it was very difficult for them to find the shop.

The two of them walked here slowly. Han Ning suddenly had a strong feeling that the person she was looking for was inside!

He pushed open the wooden door of the old Korean restaurant.

Han Ning looked around at the employees in the restaurant. Behind the cashier at the door was a middle-aged woman who should be the lady owner.

This Korean food restaurant was not as it seemed from the outside. After entering, the interior was very new and spacious. It did not feel cramped at all.

There were many customers in the restaurant. It was already past lunchtime, but almost everyone was seated. It seemed that business was much better than the previous two shops.

"It smells so good. Brother Han, this place is definitely more delicious than the previous two." Jiang Qing suddenly became excited.

Unlike Jiang Qing who was attracted by the scent of food, Han Ning smelled the scent of the criminal as soon as he entered the restaurant.

Han Ning quietly followed the attendant who led the way to his seat and sat down.

The surrounding customers were all enjoying the pleasant feeling brought to them by the delicious food. Jiang Qing looked at the kitchen in anticipation and waited for her food.

Since the target was not outside, it meant that he was probably in the kitchen. However, Han Ning still needed a reason to enter the kitchen.

Just as Han Ning was thinking, the food that Jiang Qing had ordered was already on the table.

"Brother Han, quickly try it. I can tell from the smell that this restaurant is extraordinary. It's definitely a really good restaurant that no one knows about."

Han Ning came up with a good idea after hearing that. If he wanted to know if there was anyone he wanted in the kitchen, he could just ask the person inside to come out instead of going in himself.

Since there was no other way for the time being, Han Ning decided to take a gamble and muttered to Jiang Qing.

"Put on a show with me after dinner!"

"Brother Han, you discovered something again?" Jiang Qing's eyes lit up as he said excitedly.

"I think he's in the kitchen, so we have to think of a way to get the cook inside to come out. Otherwise, we'll have to wait outside the door."

As Han Ning put food into Jiang Qing's bowl, he approached her and explained in a low voice. He was very experienced in pretending to be a couple with Jiang Qing.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Qing nodded and suppressed the excitement in his heart, indicating that she could be entrusted with this task.

"Waiter." After eating, Jiang Qing began to carry out their plan.

"Hello, ma'am. May I help you? Do you like the food?"

A woman in a Korean suit came to the table and bowed respectfully with a gentle smile.

"Um, there's no problem. I just feel that your food is too delicious and want to see the chef," Jiang Qing said with a smile.

"This…" The attendant was in a difficult position. Perhaps it was because no customer in her restaurant had ever made such a request, she suddenly felt at a loss.

"Just help me out. I really want to see a chef who is capable of making such good food. Also, look, there aren't many customers in the restaurant. It won't affect your business. Please, please!"

The attendant was still in a dilemma. Seeing that Han Ning did not say anything, she turned to look at the lady owner at the counter and realized that she was not there.

In the end, under Jiang Qing's constant pestering and coquettish behavior, the attendant finally lost and was willing to help ask the chef in the kitchen.

After their plan succeeded, Jiang Qing secretly made a victory gesture under the table.

Han Ning smiled slightly, feeling a little amused.

After entering the kitchen for a while, the service staff finally lifted the curtain. Following behind her were two men in Korean clothes and an apron.

Han Ning's pupils constricted when he saw the man walking at the back.

He had found him! Li Chunzai!
