Chapter 25 The best way to get a snake out of its hole is to startle it by beating the grass.

  That afternoon, Zhang Sen went to the "Oriental Grand Hotel" where Zhang Ziliang had lived before. After investigating up and down for several hours, he finally learned that the coffee shop on the 15th floor of the hotel was the last place Zhang Ziliang had been to before his death.

  From the head waiter and the attendant who served Zhang Ziliang that day, Zhang Sen learned about the existence of a mysterious woman. Before his suicide, Zhang Ziliang had gone to investigate this woman's situation, but on the same night after being disappointed without getting any news, Zhang Ziliang committed suicide in the hotel. This woman had never appeared at the "Oriental Hotel" before contacting Zhang Ziliang, and no one saw her again afterwards. Her only appearance in front of everyone was when she went to see Zhang Ziliang in the coffee shop.

  The waiter recalled: "At that time, Mr. Zhang ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, and after grinding it, the bartender told me that the Blue Mountain at table 16 was ready. Just then, the woman came in, heard our conversation, glanced at table 16, smiled and said that it was her friend, she had been waiting for him here, and it would be fine to let her take the coffee over, she wanted to play a joke on Mr. Zhang. I agreed."

  I watched her walk over, and saw that she said something to Mr. Zhang, who looked up, smiled, and offered her his seat. He then waved at me, so I went over. The woman ordered an Irish coffee, and I came back with it. When I brought the coffee over, they were chatting and laughing together, looking very familiar and intimate - you could tell they were old friends. After a while, the woman left without even drinking her coffee, and Mr. Zhang sat there alone for about half an hour before he finally left too.

  "On the afternoon of Mr. Zhang's suicide, he came over to us with a pale face to ask about the woman's situation, and we only then found out that they didn't know each other at all. But as for that woman, except for talking to Mr. Zhang on that day, nobody has ever seen her again, and I don't know anything else. However, from their appearance that day, it really seemed like they knew each other, and had a very good relationship."

  Zhang Sen had no idea that his father had an acquaintance in G City, and it was a young woman who seemed to be even younger than himself! This mysterious woman only appeared briefly when Zhang's father stayed at this hotel, so she must be a crucial figure in this case!

  Unfortunately, the girl appeared for too short a time, only about ten minutes or so, and the waiter only remembered that she was very beautiful, with exquisite makeup on her face, but could not describe her appearance and facial features.

  He said: "She seems to be beautiful from her eyes to her nose, every part is very beautiful, but specifically to each part, I really can't say anything, I just took a few glances at her, I won't describe it, nor can I describe it."

  Zhang Sen returned to his father's room 3513 in vain inquiry, wanting to find something from it.

  The scene was well protected. The first room service staff who found Zhang Ziliang's body screamed at the bathroom door and fainted on the ground, followed by security guards who rushed to the scene in shock and showed the calm quality of a retired soldier in the army. While reporting to the hotel security department with a walkie-talkie, he intercepted two people who rushed in later and persuaded them to leave the room.

  His calmness ensured that no one else entered the room until the public security personnel arrived, and the scene was well preserved.

  Zhang Sen carefully searched the hotel room that had been searched by his colleagues many times, trying to see if there were any clues worth thinking about. However, after several hours, Zhang Sen walked out of Room 3513 in disappointment and told the hotel that it was no longer necessary to preserve the scene, and they could resume normal business operations.

  Zhang Sen knew that his current state was not suitable for starting the investigation into his father's case, so he put all his energy into the drug smuggling case he had been tracking for two years. The breakthrough point has been found, and the plan has been carefully considered for a long time, it should be possible to act soon.

  Liang Honglin went all out to protect Zhang Sen, using his many years of connections and relationships to make the relationship between Zhang Sen and Zhang Ziliang a secret known only to a very small circle of people, including relevant superior departments. Every person who knew they were father and son received instructions that were almost like military orders, absolutely not allowing it to be leaked out!

  A week later, Zhang Sen inadvertently learned something from a thread of his own hands: A commercial espionage organization called "Dark Night Gate" appeared in G City, and its members were all young women with both artistic talent and stunning beauty. Zhang Sen's heart moved, and the coffee girl related to his father suddenly appeared vividly in his mind!

  As Liang Honglin thought, Zhang Sen seemed to be born for being a policeman, his extraordinary intuition and sensitivity often brought him twice the result with half the effort.

  Within less than a week after Zhang Sen received this news, both the underworld and the officialdom of G City knew about the existence of "Dark Night Gate".

  Soon, Zhang Sen discovered his mistake: he had underestimated his opponent and the cunning of businessmen! Those rich men, while worrying about having a "Midnight Door" beauty by their side, were also spending a lot of manpower and financial resources to get in touch with "Midnight Door", so as to launch an attack on their competitors, which made "Midnight Door"'s power in G City develop rapidly, and more companies suffered from unfair competition!

  And the result of unfair competition among enterprises is that more and more companies have joined the ranks of searching for "back doors". This has plunged G City's business community into chaos, with almost everyone trying to defeat their competitors and gain more benefits through this channel, except for a few regular large enterprises and large group companies.

  Zhang Sen didn't get any more information about "Dark Night Gate" apart from these messages.

  Zhang Sen's central nervous system was stimulated by these messages, making it difficult for him to fall asleep. A fighting spirit that had been waiting for an opponent was quickly ignited. In the dark of night, his nostrils flared rapidly, and a pleasant hum emanated from his throat, as if he were about to charge into battle.

  Zhang Sen knew that when a snake is hiding very deeply, the best way to lure it out of its hole is to "startle the snake by beating the grass"!

  Zhang Sen made a bold decision: secretly spreading the news that the existence of "Dark Night Gate" had caught the attention of the Provincial Public Security Department, and the department directly assigned the task to the captain of the G City Public Security Bureau's Heavy Case Brigade, Zhang Sen, who was known as the "Black Way Executioner", asking him to fully investigate this organization!
