Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7374
Duncan Li’s sigh didn’t make Charlie think too much about this aspect, but he felt a huge pressure in an instant.
In Duncan Li’s eyes, the other party already possessed abilities that rivaled his parents. The first thought that crossed his mind was, since the other party was so powerful, could he find Claire?
In fact, Duncan Li himself didn’t think much of it.
He could only sigh, among people like him, he only knew Charlie’s father and mother, but he never thought that Charlie’s father and mother were still alive.
Charlie could only sigh: “Inspector Li, the other party has put up so many disguises and left so many clues, both true and false. How should we investigate next?”
Duncan Li was silent for a moment, then asked him, “Mr. Wade, do you really have to find Mrs. Wade?”
Charlie said firmly: “Of course, no matter what, I must find him!”
Duncan Li smiled and said, “Then you don’t have to worry too much. I’ll do my best to help you sort out the clues bit by bit until you find Mrs. Wade!”
Hearing this, Charlie felt much more relieved.
Knowing Duncan Li’s character and abilities, he felt at least half relieved when he said this.
…
Houston and Melbourne are almost 15,000 kilometers apart.
The An Family’s plane would need to land and refuel en route, so it would take at least seventeen or eighteen hours to arrive.
Charlie himself didn’t know how to investigate this case, and since Duncan Li didn’t come, he could only awkwardly start with the surveillance video, trying to check Stephen Tang’s movements.
However, Stephen Tang was much more cautious than Charlie imagined. First of all, all the surveillance video recordings in the hospital were not working.
According to the hospital, the cause of the outage was that the computer in the computer room was infected with a virus, and the hard drives of all the surveillance video recordings were damaged, making it nearly impossible to recover the data.
Second, surveillance videos around the hospital were targeted and destroyed before the incident.
Someone used an air rifle to shoot lead bullets, destroying the camera lens or cutting the camera’s transmission line.
These lead bullets are ignited by compressed gas and contain no gunpowder, so they make little noise when fired.
While not as powerful as a real gun, this weapon has virtually no recoil. When paired with a high-precision air rifle and sights, this weapon can hit targets two to three hundred meters away with extremely high accuracy.
These types of weapons are legal in many countries and far outnumber real guns. Many farmers use these types of weapons to hunt rats and wild wolves.
From a distance of one hundred to two hundred meters, it is easy to shoot a mouse’s skull with one shot, and of course it will not be a problem if the lens or cable breaks.
Additionally, the range and angle of the camera itself are often not large enough, so as long as the vandal knows the position and distance, side impacts will be difficult to capture.
Surveillance coverage in Melbourne is much lower than in major Chinese cities, and cross-over surveillance is lacking in many locations. Therefore, as long as surveillance in these locations is discontinued, these areas will become blind spots.
Because of this, the police were unable to find any witnesses or useful clues.
Just as Charlie was confused, Stephen Tang had departed from Port Hedland Airport and headed for Osaka, Japan.
Just like when he entered Australia, this time he still entered the airport through an abnormal route arranged by Margaret An and left directly on a special cargo plane.
This method of leaving the country allowed Stephen Tang to almost completely conceal his whereabouts. It was impossible to find him simply by following the clues. Unless someone could find a key person and seek guidance from them, they would be in the dark.
Meanwhile, at the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto.
This very famous temple in Japan is now completely closed.
Kinkakuji Temple typically undergoes renovations every year or two, but most renovations are minor. They consist of repainting, gold plating, and a few minor repairs, which can be completed in a few nights.
But this time, Kinkakuji Temple announced that some buildings have become dangerous due to their age, so they need to undergo extensive renovations and will be closed for at least a month and a half.
Margaret An resides here at this time.
Jing Qing had arrived secretly a few days earlier than him and had communicated with his disciple, the abbot of Kinkakuji Temple.
The abbot of Kinkakuji Temple is named Kongyin, a 125-year-old monk who has attained enlightenment.
Despite his advanced age, his passion for Buddhism remained undiminished. His students once showed him videos of Master Jingqing’s lectures, and Kongyin was deeply impressed by Master Jingqing’s profound understanding of Buddhism.
Kongyin was convinced that after being a monk for 110 years, his understanding of Buddhism was still less than 60% to 70% of Jingqing’s, so he firmly decided to take Jingqing as his teacher and let him be his final mentor.
Last year, Kongyin went to Mount Putuo in person, which was planned for the exchange of Buddhist teachings between Chinese and Japanese monks, but in fact, he took this opportunity to meet Jingqing and ask to become his disciple in person.
Jing Qing was initially reluctant to accept it, but Kong Yin was so obsessed with the Buddhist teachings he analyzed. He not only knelt down and begged in front of Jing Qing, but even earnestly asked Jing Qing to become his disciple in front of the media from China and Japan.
Kongyin did this not to commit moral abduction. He was originally a prominent figure in the Japanese Buddhist community.
If he really became a disciple of the young Jingqing in public, it would be tantamount to lowering the status of the entire Japanese Buddhist community.
However, he still didn’t care, because he firmly believed in the Chinese proverb, that if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening.
He hoped that in his later years, he would have the opportunity to understand the most profound Buddhist teachings available today.
Moreover, the Buddhist scriptures written thousands of years ago are not something that everyone can understand. The deeper one studies them, the deeper one’s understanding becomes.
Buddhism is like a spiritual practice. Even if you’re only one level higher than someone else, there’s still a huge difference.
Jing Qing was afraid that Kong Yin would actually do this and make too much of a fuss and attract unnecessary attention, so he reluctantly made a private agreement to accept Kong Yin as an anonymous disciple and teach him Buddhism, but he was not allowed to reveal the master-disciple relationship to anyone.
Kongyin had studied Buddhism for 110 years and was a devout believer in the Dharma. Since Jingqing agreed to teach him the Dharma, he would strictly abide by all other requirements.
Therefore, no one in the outside world knew that these two people who were decades apart in age actually had a teacher-student relationship.
A few days ago, when he learned that Jingqing wanted to come to Kinkakuji Temple to practice in retreat for a period of time, he immediately arranged for Kinkakuji Temple to be rebuilt and left one of its most secret courtyards for Jingqing.
Not only did he not visit her, but he also strictly forbade anyone else in the temple from approaching.
Margaret An and Sister Sun and her group stayed here for a while.
At that time, Jing Qing was imparting Buddhist teachings to Kong Yin in her meditation room. Margaret An was alone in the courtyard, gazing at the ancient pine trees with their newly sprouted buds in a trance.
Sister Sun walked across the courtyard corridor and immediately approached her. She whispered respectfully, “Madam, Stephen has already left and is expected to arrive in Osaka in eight hours. I’ve arranged for someone to pick him up and take him to Kyoto as soon as possible.”
Margaret An nodded and asked him, “What happened there, Charlie?”
Sister Sun said: “We have arranged for a number of people to investigate in China, and the Ito family has also sent a number of ninjas to help.”
Margaret An said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. Let them investigate. No matter how they investigate, the clues will break at some key point. With so many circuit breakers, it’s impossible for them all to fail.”
Sister Sun added, “But I just heard that Inspector Li has left for Melbourne from Houston.”
Margaret An frowned slightly and said, “Inspector Li? Duncan Li?”
“Yes!” Sister Sun nodded: “Young Master has saved her life, I think now is the time for her to return the favor.”
Margaret An pursed her lips for a moment, then said solemnly, “Ya Lin is a problem. For him, given enough time, any case can be solved. Investigating us shouldn’t be a difficult task. With his abilities, a year or two should be enough.”
Sister Sun said worriedly, “One or two years is too short a time. The chances of Young Master surpassing the Warriors’ Den in one or two years are extremely slim…”
Margaret An smiled and said, “It’s okay. Duncan Li is a smart man. If he really has any clues about our situation, I’ll go see him. He’ll definitely respect me.”
At this point, his expression froze, and he said solemnly, “No matter what happens, the most important thing is not to delay Charlie’s development.”
“Victoria’s time is running out. She’s only going to get crazier and more hysterical. Charlie must be fully prepared. Otherwise, if Victoria goes all out, the An and Wade families will be her targets!”
