Episode 16: Seeking Help



The Mystery of Ayu's Background

Chapter 1: Seeking Help from a Private Investigator

Ayu knew she was in an extremely difficult predicament. The ever-present threat of the mysterious organization made her tremble with fear with every step she took. She understood that she couldn't possibly contend with that mysterious and powerful organization on her own. So, one person came to her mind—private detective Lin Yu.

Ayu met Lin Yu by chance at a business event. She had heard of his reputation in the detective world, having handled many complex and bizarre cases. He was intelligent and resourceful, always able to find crucial clues in details others easily overlooked, and decisive, never backing down from danger. Ayu felt that perhaps Lin Yu was the lifeline that could help her unravel the mystery of her origins and escape the threat of a mysterious organization.

With a mix of trepidation and anticipation, Ayu approached Lin Yu and recounted everything she had experienced recently, including the mystery surrounding her origins and the series of dangers brought by the mysterious organization. Lin Yu listened quietly, his brows furrowing and relaxing at times, his eyes gleaming with thoughtful consideration.

After Ayu finished speaking, Lin Yu gently tapped the table, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your matter is indeed complicated and dangerous, but the more complicated it is, the more interested I become. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

Lin Yu was always decisive and efficient. He first took the messy but valuable clues provided by A Yu, then sat down at his desk piled high with documents and began to carefully organize and analyze them. He categorized the various clues according to factors such as time, place, and people involved, leaving no potentially useful detail unchecked.

After several hours of hard work, Lin Yu finally discovered a seemingly insignificant but potentially crucial point—the mysterious organization appeared to have close financial ties with some underground banks. Lin Yu keenly sensed that this might be the breakthrough point for them to break the deadlock and delve deeper into the investigation of the mysterious organization.

“Ayu, we can start with underground banks and trace the flow of funds. Maybe we can find the hiding place of that mysterious organization and find out who the mastermind is.” Lin Yu said to Ayu with a firm look in his eyes.

Looking at Lin Yu's confident demeanor, A Yu felt a glimmer of hope and nodded firmly, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Let's start now."

And so, Ayu and Lin Yu embarked on the arduous journey of tracking down the mysterious organization through underground banks.

Chapter Two: Investigation into Underground Banks

Leveraging his extensive network of contacts built up over many years in the detective world, Lin Yu quickly made contact with several informants familiar with the operations of underground banks. These informants informed them that several underground banks had recently experienced suspicious inflows of large sums of money from unknown sources.

Ayu and Lin Yu began visiting the hidden locations of these underground banks one by one. Most of these places were located in remote corners of the city, in dark and damp alleys, with inconspicuous yet mysterious doors hidden inside.

When they first entered an underground money exchange, it was filled with an old, worn atmosphere. The lighting was dim, and several wary men sat at a table. Their eyes sharpened instantly when they saw strangers enter. Lin Yu, however, remained calm. He pulled out a fake identity he had prepared beforehand and claimed that he was there to discuss a big business deal and wanted to use the exchange to transfer funds.

Ayu was so nervous her heart was pounding in her throat, her palms sweating profusely. She tried her best to remain calm and cooperate with Lin Yu's performance. Fortunately, Lin Yu handled the situation with ease, cleverly extracting some general information from the people about the suspicious fund flows—they were transferred to an overseas account. They didn't know the specifics, only that it was related to a person called "Black Panther."

"Black Panther? Looks like he's a key figure." Lin Yu muttered to himself as he made notes in his notebook.

In the days that followed, they visited several other underground banks, piecing together the puzzle of the mysterious flow of funds. With each piece of information they gathered, they felt they were one step closer to the truth about the mysterious organization, but at the same time, an unknown danger seemed to be quietly approaching.

Chapter Three: The Mysterious Companion

As Lin Yu and A Yu delved deeper into their investigation of the underground bank, tracing the faint flow of funds, they noticed something amiss.

On several occasions, when they were staking out and observing near underground banks or asking informants for information, they could vaguely sense that another force was also secretly watching the same thing. Those people were equally cautious and deliberately concealed their tracks, but occasionally they would still leave some clues that Lin Yu's keen observation would catch.

Once, Lin Yu and A Yu were in a coffee shop opposite an underground money exchange, pretending to be ordinary customers, but actually observing the people coming in and out of the exchange. Lin Yu glanced out the window and noticed a man in a black trench coat and a baseball cap on the street, seemingly waiting for someone, but occasionally casting spying glances towards the money exchange. Moreover, this man appeared in several of their subsequent investigations.

"Ayu, it seems there are other people interested in this too. I just don't know who they are, or whether they are friends or foes," Lin Yu said to Ayu in a low voice, frowning.

Ayu felt a surge of anxiety. "What do we do now? Will this affect our investigation?"

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, "Don't rush. Let's observe first and see what they're up to. Maybe we can even get their help. But we also have to be careful not to get bitten back."

Since then, Lin Yu has paid even closer attention to the movements of this mysterious force. They discovered that this force seemed to have a strong investigative ability, sometimes even obtaining key information before them, but they never revealed their identities or had any direct contact with them.
