Chapter 2055: Chapter 2055: Lost Connection

Lin Yi rubbed his temples, inwardly cursing the system.

It had given him such a f*cked up case to solve.

Ring ring!

At that moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a call from Yan Ci.

“Are you busy?” Yan Ci’s gentle voice came through the phone.

“Not too busy. What’s up?”

“It’s about what I mentioned before. My aunt is leaving tomorrow, so tonight our families are meeting at Wangiang Pavilion Hotel at five.”

“Got it.”

“Alright, I’ll let you go. Take care of your injury.”

“Don’t worry, it’s almost healed.”

“Okay.”

After a brief conversation, Lin Yi hung up and headed back to Li Xianghui’s office.

Between the inheritance dispute case and the issue with Wei Jianlong, he had a pile of work to deal with.

Lin Yi half-reclined on the sofa and dialed Qiu Yuluo’s number.

“Are you busy?”

“Busy as hell,” Qiu Yuluo sighed. “Just looking at these reports gives me a headache.”

“I thought you were dealing with something for the brigade.”

“Not much going on at the brigade lately, but I was just about to call you about something.”

“What is it?”

“I’m not sure,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“Chief Liu called me earlier, asking me to tell you to find time to come to Yanjing.”

“Go to Yanjing? Did something happen?”

“I’m not sure about the details, and he seemed pretty busy, so I didn’t ask much. He just said to come to Yanjing when you can.”

“I heard from Ning Che that Team 4 is about to start recruiting. Could it be related to that?”

“Probably not. The nature of Team 4 has changed, and recruitment trials wouldn’t involve you. It could be something else,” Qiu Yuluo speculated.

“By the way, did you call because you needed something?”

“It’s not a big deal. Have you heard of a guy named Wei Jianlong in Yanjing?”

“Wei Jianlong?”

Qiu Yuluo murmured. “Never heard of him. Is he someone from the compound? Did he cause you trouble?”

“You’re thinking too much,” Lin Yi said.

“He’s involved in the illegal trade, and I heard he’s got quite a big operation. The police plans to go after him, but I’m worried something might go wrong. If you have time, could you help me look into this guy?”

Qiu Yuluo was an expert in intelligence, so this task was right up her alley.

“Are you coming to Yanjing to catch him?”

“Probably, and we might team up with the local police, but I’m not sure about the specifics. If you have time, look into it for me.”

“No problem, leave it to me,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“You should use this opportunity to visit the brigade. There might be other reasons they’re asking for you, and Chief Liu mentioned that the upcoming national recruitment might involve your team. If there are any good candidates, your team could get first pick.”

“Got it,” Lin Yi replied.

“How’s the situation abroad? Ever since I got back from Sunrise Land, that mysterious organization has been quiet. It feels a bit unusual.”

“I talked to Ning Che about it. We think they might have given up,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“The C-class serum data is all in Yanjing, so ordinary people wouldn’t dare come here. Plus, the drug components in your body have already metabolized. Sending people over now wouldn’t be wise.”

“You might be right,” Lin Yi said. “I don’t have anything else for now. Let’s keep in touch.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up, Lin Yi rested his hands behind his head, his thoughts lingering on the mysterious organization that had been haunting him since his return from Sunrise Land.

The Central Guard Brigade’s research institute still had small samples of the drug and some crucial research data.

These were incredibly valuable, and even though the base was in Yanjing, it wasn’t entirely certain that the organization had given up.

It might take some time to confirm whether they had truly abandoned their plans.

Ring ring!

Lin Yi’s phone rang again, pulling him out of his thoughts. This time it was a call from Zhang Zixin.

“Brother Lin, there’s a problem. One of the nurses on duty in the ICU that night is named Sui Xin, but when I tried to contact her just now, her phone kept ringing, and no one answered.”

“How long has it been?”

“I called all three of them after leaving the bureau. The ICU doctor and the other nurse were contacted and went to the hospital for questioning, but the one named Sui Xin hasn’t answered her phone,” Zhang Zixin said.

“And today is her shift, but she hasn’t shown up at the hospital.”

“Is her phone unreachable, or is it off?”

“Unreachable.”

“Do you know where she lives?”

“Yes.”

“Send me the address. I’ll go check it out.”

“Alright.”

With new developments in the case, Lin Yi left the office.

“Where are you rushing off to?”

Gu Yiran asked, coming in with a bag of scallion pancakes in her hand.

“There’s a situation in the inheritance case. One of the nurses can’t be reached. It’s a bit suspicious.”

“I’ve got nothing going on. I’ll come with you.”

“Alright.”

Having another person around could be helpful in analyzing the situation.

Soon, Zhang Zixin sent Sui Xin’s address, and Lin Yi and Gu Yiran drove for over forty minutes to reach her apartment.

According to the information, Sui Xin was originally from Beihe Province. She came to Zhonghai for university, but since her school wasn’t prestigious and her grades were average, she ended up working at the Second Municipal Hospital after graduation.

Sui Xin lived in an old apartment building not far from the hospital. The building looked a bit run-down from the outside, but it had all the necessary amenities, making it a convenient place to live.

The two of them took the elevator up to the 17th floor.

The layout of four elevators serving twenty apartments per floor gave the place a chaotic feel. The hallways weren’t very clean, adding to the less-than-pleasant atmosphere.

Thud thud thud!

Lin Yi knocked at the door of apartment 1713.

But after several knocks, there was no response.

Finally, Lin Yi increased the force, even kicking the door a few times. The noise was loud enough to get the attention of the neighbors, but there was still no response from 1713.

Lin Yi didn’t continue knocking like an idiot. Instead, he pulled out his phone and called Zhang Zixin.

“Still no response from Sui Xin’s phone?”

“No, I’ve called nearly twenty times.”

“Got it.”

After a brief response, Lin Yi hung up.

“I take it Zhang hasn’t been able to reach her,” Gu Yiran said.

Lin Yi shook his head.

“This Sui Xin hasn’t been cleared of suspicion yet, and now she’s gone missing. She could be significant in this case.”

Lin Yi furrowed his brows, thinking deeply.

“But this is a family inheritance dispute. What does this nurse have to do with it?”
