In Team Three’s conference room.

After Zhang Zhi received the news from Han Ning and Zhou Zhan, he started to investigate.

While he was investigating, Wang Jing returned to her office. Han Ning reported to her about what he and Zhou Zhan discovered.

“Team Leader, I’ll let Han Ning tell you,” Zhou Zhan said.

Wang Jing looked at Han Ning and waited for his report.

“Zhou Zhan and I met a Caucasian in Jiaside. I felt that something was wrong with him.”

Han Ning organized his thoughts and shared his guess.

He had a strange feeling about the Caucasian. Moreover, the Caucasian dropped a criminal skill, which meant that his feeling was probably correct.

“We’ve seen the entire route he took at the auction house. He doesn’t look like he’s there to see the exhibition. It’s more like he’s there to examine the surroundings.â€�

Han Ning paused for a moment and recalled carefully before speaking again.

“He doesn’t stay in each position for long, but he carefully observes his surroundings every time.”

When Han Ning said this, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his previous feeling wasn’t wrong.

Wang Jing had a serious look on her face as she fell into deep thought.

The office fell into silence.

At this moment, Zhang Zhi who was typing on his computer suddenly exclaimed, “Quickly come and take a look at this!”

Everyone leaned towards his computer and looked at the screen.

The page on the screen showed the information of the Caucasian that Han Ning sent back.

It clearly showed his personal information. His real name was Rom.

As for the information registered by the immigration administration, the name was McCauley. The two documents did not match at all!

This man did not enter Hong Kong legally. Instead, he had used some illegal means to sneak in.

In that case, regardless of whether this person was related to the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief, he definitely had an ulterior motive.

“Brother Han, you’re too amazing!” Jiang Qing exclaimed.

Everyone was shocked by Han Ning’s impressive intuition.

Now that Zhang Zhi’s information was out, Han Ning’s judgment had been proven to be completely accurate. There was definitely something wrong with that Caucasian.

Now that they had identified the suspect, the next step was to discuss countermeasures and formulate a new plan.

Following this lead, they might be able to dig out the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief who had been hiding behind the scenes.

In Zhang Zhi’s information, he also found out the hotel that the white man Rom was staying at.

After much discussion, they decided to let Han Ning and Wang Jing pretend to be a couple and sneak into the hotel to investigate.

“Team Leader, why don’t you let me give it a try? I want to help out too!”

Jiang Qing seemed to be very interested in this operation and looked eager to give it a try.

Wang Jing thought that it might be better if two people of similar age pretended to be a couple, so she agreed.

“Han Ning, you have to protect Jiang Qing. She has never gone to the front line to carry out any missions. If there are any emergencies, she might not be able to handle them.”

Han Ning nodded and agreed.

Jiang Qing was excited.

…

Early in the morning.

Han Ning brought Jiang Qing to the Li Bay Hotel where the white man Rom was staying.

The two of them pretended to be a couple and waited in the lobby for a long time before he finally appeared.

Han Ning knew that the other party knew how to weaken his presence so Han Ning was on high alert. When Rom appeared, Han Ning spotted him immediately.

The other party walked into the hotel from outside with a big bag of breakfast in his hand. It seemed like he went out to buy food.

However, Han Ning was a little puzzled. Why did he buy so many things by himself? The amount seemed to be enough for five to six people.

“Jiang Qing, get ready. The target has appeared.”

Han Ning leaned closer to Jiang Qing and whispered.

To outsiders, they looked like a couple whispering to each other.

“Brother Han, we’re starting already? Where is the target? Why don’t I see him?”

Jiang Qing was caught off guard when Han Ning suddenly got close to her, and her face flushed unnaturally.

“Right in front of us, the target is heading towards the elevator.”

Han Ning explained softly to Jiang Qing, but his eyes were glued to Rom.

He knew that as long as he looked away, the other party would disappear into the environment.

After Han Ning obtained the Vision Transfer skill from him, he tried to use it, but he failed in the end.

This skill was very useful when investigating cases. Han Ning valued it very much.

On the surface, Rom looked relaxed, but in reality, he had been vigilantly observing his surroundings.

Therefore, Han Ning didn’t dare to look at the other party too frequently. He maintained his current persona while bringing Jiang Qing closer to the elevator.

The two of them successfully followed Rom up the elevator.

Han Ning got off the elevator on the floor below Rom’s floor so that he could put the tracking device in Rom’s pocket when he got off the elevator.

After the two of them got off the elevator, Zhang Zhi’s voice came through the earpiece. He was constantly reporting the location of the target to Han Ning.

The tracking device worked successfully. For a period of time, the police would be able to locate the other party accurately.

Jiang Qing retreated after getting off the elevator while Han Ning chased after Rom from the stairs.

Rom knocked on the door of three rooms on the 27th floor and left quickly after handing the breakfast to the people in the rooms.

After entering the third room, Rom never came out again.

Han Ning confirmed the room numbers and sent them to Zhang Zhi.

After obtaining the information on the guests, Zhang Zhi verified that the four men and one woman registered to those rooms were using fake identities.

At this moment, Han Ning suddenly realized something.

He started wondering if the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief was hiding among these people.

He even pondered if the Hundred Transformations Godly Thief was not a single person but a team!?

Han Ning returned to the car full of questions.

The target wouldn’t be going out for a while, so the three of them split up after exchanging information.

Only Han Ning and Zhang Zhi remained in the car.

In the afternoon.

Zhang Zhi and Han Ning, who had been waiting in the car, were feeling a little sleepy.

At this moment, Rom came out the front door of the hotel.

He took a taxi by the roadside and looked like he was headed towards the West Loop.

Han Ning hurriedly drove to catch up.

Sure enough, the taxi was parked on the street in front of the Jiaside.

In order not to be discovered, Han Ning parked his car a little further away and started following him on foot. Meanwhile, Zhang Zhi kept observing the other party’s route on the car.

Han Ning followed Luo Mu carefully. Just like yesterday, Rom walked around the auction house according to a fixed route.

Rom kept walking until he arrived at the toilet around the corner. That spot was a blind spot and could not be captured by the surveillance camera.

Rom met a man in an auction house cleaning uniform.

The two of them conversed softly as if they were exchanging information. Han Ning could not eavesdrop on their conversation from a distance.

They only conversed for a short time. Before they parted, the cleaner handed Rom a piece of paper. Without looking at it closely, Rom slipped it into his pocket and turned to leave.

Han Ning, on the other hand, saw everything that happened.

He left quickly before Rom came out of the bathroom.

Han Ning was surprised.

Based on the intelligence gathered so far, it seemed that the criminal gang that Rom was in had a clear division of labor and did not interfere with each other’s work.

Han Ning then passed the information to his companions. They had a perfect and well-developed plan of action.

At this moment, Han Ning suddenly realized that these people were most likely that so-called international thief!

And this Hundred Transformations Godly Thief was just as he had thought. It was not a single person at all.

It was a group of people.

This was a group of organized, disciplined, and premeditated criminals!
