Chapter 10: The Capture of Wang Laowu
Yuan Wang: "Alright"
The castle is named Edinburgh Castle
The video ends with a final still image of a website.
The room phone rang, and Yuan Wang answered while looking at the documents: "Hello"
The short-haired young man flashed a bright smile, revealing his neat and dazzling teeth: "It's alright, I don't need a mask, thank you." He nodded at the lady, picked up the license, offered a smile, and lifted the black cloth to walk out. His smile was different from Yuan Wang's; Yuan Wang's smile was polite, while his smile exuded confidence
Yuan Wang: "Thank you for the reminder." For the first time, he felt the wonder of the mask; behind the mask, Yuan Wang could smile without the need for politeness. No one cared whether he was smiling or not.
The lady continued to speak in a cold and businesslike manner, finally reminding: "It is best to wear a mask. Among hunters, there are more rivals than friends. If you do not have a mask, I have a faceless mask available for free."
Following Yuan Wang was a young man of similar age, with short hair that was not just any ordinary short cut. This hairstyle could not be achieved without spending at least 2,000 yuan, and it required maintenance once a week. The short hair was styled with moisturizing gel, and combined with his handsome face, it caused women to linger on his features for several seconds. This kind of handsomeness exuded a youthful and sunny charm
It is a game that is both simple and complex. The rules are as follows: there is a wanted criminal named Wang Laowu who disguises himself as a hunter and infiltrates the venue. Whoever can capture Wang Laowu will receive a reward of one hundred thousand dollars
This castle is beautiful, with vast green lawns and white exterior walls. It has no relation whatsoever to the 19th-century English castles; it resembles a modern mansion or a luxurious Western wedding venue. However, the attire of the servants inside and outside the castle is still reminiscent of the 19th century
Provide the information on Wang Laowu from one year ago, including photos, height, weight, accent, and other physiological characteristics. The targets of the bounty hunters are all suspects awaiting trial who have been captured, and the database contains details about their physical attributes. Originally, there were also details regarding the cases and charges against Wang Laowu, but since this is a game, that part is omitted
Indeed, wedding photography and ceremonies can be held outside Edinburgh Castle. Both inside and outside the castle, films and television series can be shot. In essence, Edinburgh Castle operates as a hotel, but it is not an ordinary business hotel; it is a luxury hotel. It only accommodates clients of the Wang Group and filming crews.
The short-haired young man pulled a rose from the sleeve of his suit with his right hand, placing it on the table along with the hunting license, all the while maintaining a friendly gaze at the lady
For example, there are riddle-solving programs exclusive to the Lantern Festival, where correctly guessing a riddle can earn a prize of one hundred dollars. Additionally, there are video game shooting competitions, dart competitions, lottery activities, and so on. All activities are scheduled on the computer, with a small program occurring every three hours.

Lin Hao: "There is a service card by the phone that provides information about the various services offered by our hotel. Additionally, General Manager Wang asked me to convey his apologies to you; he is quite busy and unable to visit in person, please understand."
Yuan Wang's room is not very large, the living room is relatively small, and it provides a separate bedroom and bathroom. The living room has a large computer screen displaying a message: Please press any key
The concierge introduced the origin of the name of Edinburgh Castle, accompanied Yuan Wang into the castle, and escorted Yuan Wang to room 209, for which he held the key card. The castle is six stories high, featuring a rectangular structure. The first floor houses various functional facilities, primarily restaurants, tea rooms, and a small bar. Floors two to five consist of guest rooms.
The conference officially commenced at 10:00 AM today. The organizers provided no speeches or explanations, allowing participants to engage freely in activities. To enhance networking and to provide the Wang Zi team with opportunities for private interactions with outstanding bounty hunters, numerous additional small programs were introduced.

What is different today is that the extras have all disappeared, replaced by police officers at the entrance maintaining order and verifying identities
After ending the call, Yuan forgot to open the shortcut on the computer desktop for the 'Games' folder
The wanted criminal Wang Laowu will participate in most activities
Yuan Wang took out a mask and put it on. The lady glanced at Yuan Wang's mask, clearly indicating that it was quite special. Regardless of its quality, at least it was unique. The lady said: "The police remind that bounty hunters must also abide by the law and should not be tempted by profit to engage in wrongful acts, otherwise they will inevitably suffer lifelong consequences"
Yuan Wang was confused by the layout of the film and television city and specifically used his phone to look up the map of the entire area. In summary: the layout is meticulous, land is utilized efficiently, and tourism products are the main focus
Yuan Wang forgot to enter the website, and the screen redirected to the information site. It contains all the materials related to the case of Wang Zi's daughter's murder, including physical evidence held by the police, transcripts, testimonies, interrogation videos, and so on
The opening is a video of Wang Zi celebrating his eleven-year-old daughter's birthday, featuring a wonderful atmosphere that is harmonious and comforting, making it a video that brings a smile to one's face.
The third video features a scene of Wang Zi, presented as a standalone shot. Behind Wang Zi is a black background, and he sits at a table looking at the camera: "I believe you should know what I want"
Castles are an indispensable setting in British films, symbolizing status, evoking a sense of terror, representing the greatness of families, and embodying honor
After Yuan Wang emerged from the inspection pavilion, he saw a row of electric sightseeing cars neatly arranged, with a uniformed concierge standing beside each vehicle. Upon seeing Yuan Wang come out, the first concierge invited him to board the car, which then drove towards the distant castle. The second car took its position.
The woman, in her forties, took out a room card and a round tag from the drawer: "Keep the room card safe, wear the number 12 on your chest, and it is best not to take it off, otherwise you will be asked to verify your identity again. If you have a mask, wear it; there is no fear of identity exposure. Here we have the faceless man masks, each priced at 500 yuan."

Yuan Wangcai was not mistaken; this castle is indeed one of the famous wedding venues in Newtown. Alongside the small chapel built on one side, it has consistently been one of the preferred locations for domestic weddings among the wealthy. As a film studio, it serves as a site for shooting films when there are productions, and for wedding photos when there are none. These servants are long-term employees of the castle; they are not merely individuals dressed in classical attire, but they have substantive work responsibilities.
After Yuan Wangxin finished admiring the sea view and street view of Edinburgh Castle, he casually pressed the spacebar on his computer. A video appeared on the screen
After the concierge left, Yuan Wang pushed open the southern window, revealing a British street. The castle is built on high ground, allowing a clear view of every movement on the British street. Guests can enjoy the filming of the program from their rooms, while the stars can rest and rehearse their lines in their rooms. It is not too late for the director to call them down again.
The entrance to the venue is located on a street with British architectural style near Wang's Film City. It is said that a famous British detective drama was filmed on this street. Trams, horse-drawn carriages, and extras in formal attire tipping their hats to the ladies can be seen. British policemen wearing bowler hats patrol the street
The primary source of income for the film and television city does not come from the rental of locations for movie and television shoots, but rather from tourists. Many of the offerings in the film and television city are designed to serve tourists
In the first stage of identity verification, a girl wearing a butterfly mask entered the inspection booth before Yuan Wang. One minute later, Yuan Wang lifted the black curtain and entered the inspection booth, where only a lady was seated at a computer desk. Yuan Wang placed his hunter's license on the table, and the lady checked it according to the number. The system scanned Yuan Wang's face, completed the matching process, and confirmed that Yuan Wang was the legitimate holder of the license.
