Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Something’s Wrong

Looking at the tall man who was clearly a head taller than himself, Yang Chen stepped back subtly and smiled politely, "Officer, I'm Ms. Tang's friend, not a bad guy." Tang Wan, who was behind him, also stepped forward and said, "Officer Gao, Yang Chen is my friend. He might be able to help with the case, please let him in."

Officer Gao clearly wasn't buying it. He frowned and said firmly, "Chairwoman Tang, with all due respect, our special crime unit detectives are not your company's employees. We're here because a murder occurred, and the victim is an internationally renowned scholar. This could potentially lead to international disputes. We've already been very lenient by agreeing not to leak any information. If you insist on letting someone irrelevant interfere with our investigation, even though I, Gao Xin, am just a team leader, I won't allow such behavior."

After finishing his speech, Gao Xin was about to kick Yang Chen out, but to his surprise, he found that Yang Chen had already vanished from in front of him.

Gao Xin looked around in confusion and then turned his head quickly, only to see that Yang Chen had somehow slipped past him and entered the room behind.

Yang Chen seemed completely oblivious to Gao Xin's words, looking around the room as if studying something. The other detectives in the search team looked at Yang Chen with discontented eyes.

"You! I told you not to enter the room! Don't you know it's illegal to obstruct police work?" Gao Xin shouted angrily.

Yang Chen actually had a bit of a liking for this burly police captain. This guy seemed to be a straightforward and honest type, diligent like an old ox in his daily work, but too rigid, which is probably why he was only a captain in his middle age.

"Officer Gao, don't get angry just yet. Why don't you come over and look at this window? There's something strange about it," Yang Chen said, pointing to the large glass window in the center of the room.

Gao Xin snorted coldly, "Don't try to distract me! I told you to get out, didn't you hear?"

Yang Chen sighed and pointed at the clean, bright glass window, "Look, at the seam on the left side of the window, isn't there something like a piece of clear tape?"

"Are you mocking me?"

Gao Xin, seeing that Yang Chen was ignoring him, became furious. He strode over to Yang Chen and reached out with his steel-like hand, intending to drag Yang Chen out of the room.

However, before Gao Xin could touch Yang Chen's collar, Yang Chen had already moved away from where he was standing. In a flash, Yang Chen was behind Gao Xin.

A hand leisurely draped over Gao Xin's shoulder from behind and lightly pressed down. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Gao Xin, still bewildered by Yang Chen's speed, lost control of his body and fell to the ground!

Yang Chen clicked his tongue and looked at Gao Xin helplessly, "Officer Gao, I admire your dedication, but don't be too reckless. You shouldn't just jump at someone you don't like without considering if they can handle it."

After saying that, Yang Chen walked over to the window, reached outside, and fiddled with the window seam.

The detectives in the room, along with the stunned Gao Xin sitting on the ground, were speechless. They realized from Yang Chen's small demonstration that this man was indeed not an ordinary person.

These detectives had all undergone professional training, and Gao Xin had been arresting criminals for over ten years, encountering many experts. But he had never met anyone who could so easily subdue him. After all, he was a black belt in judo!

At the door, Tang Wan smiled knowingly. Her slight annoyance at Gao Xin's stubbornness had completely disappeared.

Yang Chen clapped his hands and smiled, "This pretty much confirms it's a bug. However, since the original mlk series was invented only two years ago, and your bug detection device is five years old, detecting its presence would be nearly impossible in such circumstances."

Gao Xin's face turned red and white, and he grunted, "You guessed right. If there's nothing else, please don't interfere with our handling of the scene. We will investigate the bug issue."

Yang Chen ignored him, pacing back and forth, thinking for a while, "The biggest advantage of this military-grade bug is its small size, making it easy to hide and install. But its flaw is also obvious: the transmission range is limited. The mlk760 has only a one-kilometer range, and even if this one is an improved version, it won't exceed two kilometers. Within this range, besides this sanatorium, there aren't many places where people could stay. I believe that by searching within a two-square-kilometer area, you should be able to find other associated listening devices or even the people and equipment involved in the eavesdropping, which are likely within this sanatorium."

Gao Xin was jolted by Yang Chen's suggestion and quickly summoned a detective, lowering his voice, "Conduct a thorough search within a two-kilometer radius."

The officer quickly responded and ran off.

Gao Xin, his face stern, gave Yang Chen a strange look but didn't ask him to leave again.

Yang Chen glanced around the room again but found nothing else suspicious. He then stepped out and approached Tang Wan, asking with concern, "You weren't attacked, were you?"

Tang Wan shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine. But I was worried someone might target me, so I increased the number of bodyguards secretly protecting me. What do you think we should do now? Just wait until we find out who planted the bug?"

"For now, we have no other choice but to wait. Whoever can use such an advanced bugging device is certainly not an ordinary person. I suspect you're in for a lot of trouble," Yang Chen replied.

Tang Wan's smile turned a bit bitter. She was about to say something when a voice suddenly called out from the other end of the corridor.

"Sister! Sister! Something's wrong!"

A clear female voice, filled with urgency, came running from a distance.

Yang Chen turned his head and saw a girl in a bright yellow dress with shoulder-length hair and an oval face, bearing a striking resemblance to Tang Wan. She appeared younger and had a natural beauty, despite wearing no makeup.

"Tang Xin, what's wrong? Why are you running like this? Is it about Grandpa again?" Tang Wan asked anxiously.

The girl, presumably Tang Xin, Tang Wan's younger sister, was panting from running, her eyes welling up with tears. "Sister, Tang Huang is here. He suddenly showed up at Grandpa's place, and Grandpa seemed agitated because of him. He started trying to bang his head against the wall and even tried to strangle me. I was so scared."

Tang Wan's face turned pale, "Isn't Tang Huang in Yandu? Why is he here in Zhonghai? How is Grandpa now?"

"I don't know how he got here. When I arrived, the doctors and nurses were trying to calm Grandpa down, but Tang Huang wouldn't leave. I'm afraid Grandpa won't settle down unless he's gone. So, I came to find you," Tang Xin said helplessly, her lips quivering.

Yang Chen was confused. Who was Tang Huang?

Tang Wan frowned deeply and gave Yang Chen a weary look, "I know you have many questions. Come with me, and I'll explain everything in detail."

Yang Chen nodded, "Alright, let's go see the old man. Maybe I can find some new clues there."
