Chapter 170 Yin and Yang
The so-called expensive refers to the project's daily salary of 1 million, 4-4 bodyguards, a period of seven days, and a bonus of million. million is a good price, but it is not attractive to Cui Duan to split it into people, let alone people. However, the company needs Cui Jian and Duanmu to work to show that the company is healthy and running normally.
The prospective employer is a 21-year-old young man named Jin Yang, who is a key player of the Seoul National University archery team. Two weeks ago, colleges and universities across the country began preparing for the national team selection for next year's Olympics. During a shooting training, someone attacked Jin Yang with a bow and arrow. The unlucky coach happened to pass by Jin Yang and the attacker and was shot in the left calf by the arrow.
A week ago, someone anonymously reported Jin Yang for taking illegal drugs. Although Jin Yang was later proven innocent, the school found illegal drugs in Jin Yang's dormitory, but the drugs were packed in a vitamin C bottle. Jin Yang said that the seasonal vegetables in the cafeteria were very delicious recently, so he did not take drugs to supplement vitamin C for a month, and he did not know where the illegal drugs in the bottle came from.
Jin Yang's father owns several factories and is a wealthy man. When he heard about his son's situation, he intuitively thought that someone was trying to murder Jin Yang. After communicating with the school, Jin's father took Jin Yang home and contacted his friends in Hancheng. Jin Yang will receive a week of professional training in Hancheng, and then go directly to the national team selection site in Hancheng to participate in the competition.
Li Ran's opinion is: There is a high possibility that someone is trying to harm Jin Yang, but this person is most likely someone close to Jin Yang, such as a coach, a competitor, a classmate, etc. As long as he leaves Seoul and stays away from acquaintances, this project will not be too risky. At least there will be no more gunfights. In any case, archery is better than shooting.
This project will start tomorrow, and we will go directly to the hotel near the training hall to pick up Jin Yang from Seoul. During this week, Jin Yang will go to the following places: the training hall, the hotel near the training hall, the library near the training hall, and the cafeteria on the second floor of the hotel. Li Ran suggested to get to know the four places first.
Duanmu and Cui Jian secretly expressed their disapproval of his suggestion.
Jin Yang's room in the hotel was a small suite, with one bedroom, one living room and one bedroom. Either Duan Cui would book a room for themselves, or they would have to make do on the sofa in the living room. It wasn't because Jin Yang's father was stingy, but most of the rooms in this nine-story hotel were like this.
Li Ran reminded that because the national team selection is imminent, the training grounds and hotel rooms are all full. In an environment full of young people, socializing in Jinyang should be reduced as much as possible to avoid unnecessary risks.
In this project, Duan Cui is Jin Yang's sparring partner to protect him. As a sparring partner, Duan Cui has to help Jin Yang carry his luggage, take his quiver, and also handle the trivial matters in Jin Yang's daily training.
Cui Jian looked at Duanmu: He would probably object.
Duanmu glanced at Cui Jian and met Cui Jian’s eyes: Haha, I don’t object.
Duanmu asked, "Do you want to answer it?"
Cui Jian reminded and asked: "What's going on in life?"
Duanmu: "It's just small things like helping him carry his bag, helping him take off his socks, and checking if he has athlete's foot."
Cui Jian asked: "From your tone, it seems that you are unwilling to take on this project?"
Duanmu said: "No, I like to be with energetic young people, even if it means flattering them."
Cui Jian: “Okay, let’s take it.” This project is different from previous projects. In previous projects, employers were at least in semi-isolation, and the killers or kidnappers targeted the employers themselves. In this project, employers have to live and train with many people, and the bad guys’ goal is to prevent employers from participating in the national team trials.
……
Jin Yang is a big boy with a sunny look, good facial features and good height. It's a pity that he was too harsh on himself when he had acne during puberty, so his face is full of pits and bumps.
Cui Jian and Duanmu met Jin Yang at the gate of the training hotel in their sportswear. Duanmu hooked the suitcase and pushed it to Cui Jian. He and Jin Yang walked while introducing the training ground and the hotel, as well as some precautions. At the same time, he took out a notebook and pen to record Jin Yang's living habits and allergies, and learned an important piece of information: Jin Yang is moderately allergic to peach hair.
After Jin Yang normally comes into contact with peach hair, red spots will appear on the contacted parts and the body will feel slightly uncomfortable. In this case, if the peach hair extract is taken orally, Duan Cui and Jin Yang don't know what will happen. After all, Jin Yang himself has never drunk it, and he doesn't know if there is such a thing as peach hair extract.
However, abnormal contact includes deliberate design. When it is deliberate design, the human body will be exposed to a lot of peach hairs, and the body's reaction will naturally be greater. It is unknown how much will interfere with Jin Yang's normal training and even delay his participation in the national team selection.
Jin Yang did not think that the person who attacked him was his competitor at Seoul National University, because the national team was recruited from the whole society, so Seoul National University was not competing internally, but with the outside world. Of course, professional players like them who often participated in competitions did not need to participate in the national team auditions.
Walking into the hotel, registering information, entering the elevator, and heading to room 702, Jin Yang met many people during the trip. Some of them were his opponents from previous competitions. Outgoing acquaintances would greet each other, while withdrawn acquaintances would ignore them. In general, Jin Yang's relationship with people of the same sex is not very good, after all, they are competitors. Some people have been archery students since middle school, and they have to participate in many competitions every year. South Korea is not a large country, so Jin Yang and archery players of the same age can often meet in competitions.
Cui Jian looked at the quiver and found four artificial feathers on the arrows. There was also a circle of labels with Jin Yang's name on them. After asking, he learned that each person's arrow was marked with a name.
The hotel rooms are about 50 square meters, with one bedroom, one living room and two bathrooms. Jin Yang packed his luggage while Duanmu and Cui Jian checked the rooms. As a qualified bodyguard, they should have completed the room inspection and familiarized themselves with the training grounds in advance, but unfortunately they were all part-time bodyguards. Fortunately, they were responsible and still checked the rooms.
Duanmu sat on the sofa and saw Cui Jian lifting the curtains to look at the main entrance of the hotel below. He asked, "Did you find anything?"
"No." Cui Jian replied.
Duanmu: "Then you should slack off."
Cui Jian looked back at the guest room: "I always feel that there is a little smell of perfume left in the bedroom. I am very sensitive to perfume. Maybe it was left by the previous resident, and the waiter did not provide good ventilation when cleaning." They checked every corner of the tiny guest room and found nothing unusual.
Cui Jian said as he walked into the bathroom in the bedroom. There was a sink, toilet and shower inside, a standard hotel combination, but no bathtub. Cui Jian whistled and Duanmu entered the bathroom. Cui Jian pointed to the water stains on the floor under the shower head, indicating that water had dripped and the floor had been wiped by someone, leaving some traces.
Cui Jian said: “Let’s take a look.”
Duanmu looked at the ground for a while and said, "Are you Cui Jian? Why are you so careful?"
Cui Jian: "Smell the scent." Others can recognize women by their scent, but Cui Jian can recognize danger by his scent. Once he senses danger, Cui Jian's concentration immediately increases.
A chair was brought over, and the two looked at each other for three seconds. Cui Jian took out his fist, and Duanmu also took out his fist. It was a game of hammer, paper, and scissors. Duanmu lost. Duanmu stood on the chair cursing and turned on the shower head. The residual water wet his sleeves. He took out a small bag with a mesh filter from the shower head. Inside the bag was a ball of wet peach hair.
Duanmu and Cui Jian thought for a while and looked at each other. They had many questions. Could the peach hairs be washed out by the impact of water? Would wet peach hairs cause allergies? Would peach hairs fall on the body and then be washed away by water immediately? Would allergies occur? After all, this was not as simple as killing someone. It involved biology, genetics and other issues.
The only thing that is certain is that the bad guys not only followed Jin Yang to Hancheng, but also entered the guest room first and set up this little allergy trap.
The training hotel only has surveillance cameras near the elevators, and there are no surveillance cameras covering the corridors. Cui Jian speaks Korean more fluently, and he went out to ask and learned that an hour ago, when the waiter was cleaning the guest room, a worker from the engineering department took a stepladder into the bathroom and said he was there to repair the shower head. When the waiter left, he hadn't left yet.
The engineering staff was wearing plain clothes, a mask, and a thin figure. Judging from her figure and voice, she seemed to be a woman. Apart from that, the waiter did not notice anything else.
I always feel that there are many loopholes and the methods are very childish, but the two of them can't catch the person through the known clues. After all, they are bodyguards and can't play detectives.
Cui Jian's occupations: assassin, bodyguard, captain, chef. Duanmu's occupations: Nemo Special Service Captain, Nemo Special Service Deputy Captain, bodyguard, Tianxia. Two people with eight occupations, none of which is related to solving crimes.
Jin Yang went to take a shower and rest, and the two bodyguards began to discuss in the living room. Question one: What is the purpose of the bad guys?
Duanmu said: "From the several attacks, it can be seen that the opponent does not seem to want Jin Yang's life. Even if they use bows and arrows to attack, they only shoot at the calf. I think the opponent just wants to prevent Jin Yang from participating in the national team trials."
Cui Jian asked: "What is the purpose? Is it revenge or competition?" Duanmu pondered for a long time: "I don't know."
Skip this question and move on to the second question: What means will the bad guys use to continue their attacks?
Duanmu: “I don’t know.”
Jin Yang's voice came from the direction of the bathroom: "Duanmu, doesn't the hotel have any shampoo?"
Duanmu: "I took it away just in case."
Jin Yang: "I forgot to bring shampoo and shower gel."
Duanmu: "You rinse first, we will find a solution immediately," looking at Cui Jian.
Cui Jian looked back and said, I don’t want to run errands.
Duanmu said: "I am not fluent in Korean."
"Incompetence can also be an excuse." Cui Jian went out and saw that the door of room 703 across from him was half open. There was movement inside. He knocked on the door and looked inside. He unexpectedly saw Yun Xueshan, whom he had met once before: "Hello." Isn't this woman the boss? Why is she here shooting arrows? Yun Xueshan is the eldest daughter of Yun Xinyue, and is gradually taking over the Yun family business in Busan.
Cui Jian then saw the elegant and handsome Xuesong, and realized that it was his sister who sent his brother here for training.
Yun Xueshan was quite surprised: "Cui Jian, you are also going to participate in the national team selection?"
Cui Jian: "Yes, it is everyone's responsibility to win glory for the country. Do you have shampoo or shower gel?" They were not familiar with each other and did not exchange pleasantries.
"Yes." Xuesong opened the suitcase and took out two bottles.
Cui Jian nodded in thanks, turned around and prepared to leave, but stopped and asked, "Xuesong, do you know Jin Yang?"
"Jinyang?" Xuesong had an indescribable expression on his face when he heard the name.
Cui Jianlai was interested: "What's wrong?"
Xue Song shook his head: "Nothing."
Cui Jian turned around and whistled. Duanmu walked to the door. Cui Jian threw something to Duanmu. Cui Jian closed the door and asked, "Can you tell me what's wrong?"
This request was very abrupt to Xuesong, and it was impolite for Cui Jian to close the door without permission. However, since it was related to Jinyang, based on professional ethics, Cui Jian shamelessly ignored these etiquette.
Cui Jian explained: "Someone has been plotting against Jin Yang. I have been Jin Yang's bodyguard these days, but I don't know Jin Yang at all."
Xuesong was about to refuse, but Yun Xueshan motioned Cui Jian to sit down and said to Xuesong, "Human life is at stake. Just tell me what you know."
Xuesong sat down and said, "Every year, the country holds a college archery competition. The top ten in the competition can skip the preliminaries and directly enter the national team trials. The first place in the competition can directly enter the national team for training. A student named Jin Yin from Seoul University won the first place in the men's competition for two consecutive years. The last competition Jin Yin participated in was five months ago, which was also Jin Yin's third time participating in the college archery championship. This time his urine test was positive, and he was ordered not to participate in any archery competitions for two years."
Xuesong said: "He and his coach filed a complaint, but it did not change the outcome. A week after the penalty notice was issued, Jin Yin died of an allergic reaction to eating a large amount of shrimp. The police confirmed that Jin Yin's death was suicide. Jin Yin knew that he was allergic to shrimp. He deliberately ate a large amount of shrimp while he was clear-headed, and he had plenty of time to call for help after the allergy. Unfortunately, he never called for help."
Xuesong said: "Jin Yin's coach believed that Jin Yin was framed by Jin Yang and his coach, and he committed suicide because he was so depressed. The root cause of the conflict between the two sides was not because of Jin Yin and Jin Yang, but because of the conflict of interest between their coaches. After Jin Yin's death, Jin Yang replaced the coach assigned to him by the school and hired a private coach at his own expense."
Yun Xueshan brought over a cup of hot tea. Cui Jian looked up and saw Yun Xueshan looking straight at him. He smiled to express his gratitude, took the cup, and asked, "Did you know that not long ago, a coach at Seoul University had his left calf pierced by an arrow?"
Xuesong nodded. "Although we are not from the same university, we have the same social circle of friends. Not to mention the students will discuss this kind of accident, the coach will also use this as an example to teach us to pay attention to safety."
Cui Jian asked: "Is the coach who was shot by an arrow related to Jin Yang or Jin Yin?"
Xue Song shook his head: "I'm not sure. But..."
Cui Jian asked: "But what?" Just say whatever you want to say.
Xuesong glanced at Yunxueshan, who nodded. Xuesong said, "Jinyin's sister Jinmei is also a student at Seoul University and lives in this hotel. It is said that she and her brother have the same coach."
Cui Jian stood up and shook hands with Xuesong: "Thank you very much, I will treat you to a meal when I am free."
Yun Xueshan said, "I'll be free at noon."
Cui Jian looked at Yun Xueshan. This girl was very beautiful, but unlike Yun Xinyue who always had a smile on her face, Yun Xueshan had a serious poker face.
Cui Jian nodded: "Okay, let's meet in the restaurant at noon."
Yun Xueshan nodded and sent Cui Jian away to close the door. Xuesong said, "Sister, aren't you going to Jumu Group?"
Yun Xueshan: "No hurry, let's talk about it after lunch."
Xue Song: "When you sent me here, you seemed very anxious."
Yun Xueshan: "There's no rush now."
Xuesong was about to say something, but Yun Xueshan glared at him. Not only was Xuesong afraid of this elder sister, but even Xuesong's parents were a little afraid of her. Xuesong could only mutter and complain: Women are so fickle.
