Listening In

Preceding Missions: Club Bam Bam (Main Story); Popstar, Lead Three (Case One)

Despite recent tensions surrounding Wei’s true identity, Pendrew wants to press harder for more information about the Water Street Gang’s current situation. To do that he needs to listen in on Winston’s own planning meetings that are often held in the kitchen of the restaurant. Wei is directed to a hardware store, where his contact Ping will hand over the hardware he needs.

Instead of Ping, Wei finds a woman who is the owner of the shop. Flirting with Wei, she insists that she is “Not-Ping,” but is more than willing to help him figure out the new hardware.

Things get complicated the moment Wei leaves the store.

Mission Unlocks: Tiffany’s Gun: Chain of Evidence (Main Story)

Job and Minigame Unlocks: Bug Planting

Event Unlocks: None

Favor Unlocks: Impress Not-Ping

Rewards: SFPD—Psych Eval Wei Shen Revised

As soon as Wei sets foot outside the shop with his goods, a thief runs up, snatches the bag out of his hands, and sprints across the street into the park. Give chase, and be ready to maneuver through some fairly heavy civilian foot traffic. Fortunately, as much as it slows you down, it can also slow down the thief. As soon as you get close enough, tackle him to the ground. This will force him to drop the bag. You can then choose to finish him off in a fist fight, or you can pick up the dropped bag and relieve him of consciousness that way.

After dealing with the thief, call Raymond. He tips you off to a point of infiltration of Mrs. Chu’s Golden Koi restaurant: a construction site located across the street from the target building.

The access point is clearly marked by a waypoint. You’ll find that every ledge you need to climb and the gaps you need to cross are marked by green tarps. Eventually you’ll reach a dead end that you can climb up, and cross the top of the bridge that connects the construction site to the Golden Koi.

Item Acquistion

At the start of the bridge, you can find a camera control box to hack. It’s easy to miss this if you’re in a hurry, since it is just past the guardrail you leap over.

Right after you cross the bridge, you can locate a Lock Box just before you leap over the guardrail onto the roof of the Golden Koi.

You eventually reach a rooftop access to the Golden Koi’s kitchen, but Winston and Conroy are there. Conroy still doesn’t trust Wei, and the two men begin discussing the issue outside. Once they’ve left, you need to slide open the skylight on the roof and drop in.

Item Acquistion

You may have noticed a Jade Statue in the kitchen of the Golden Koi during the scene where Wei barely avoids being murdered as a rat. You have a chance to collect this statue now while you’re handling your other business.

Once inside, you’ve got two-and-a-half minutes to plant the bug in the marked air vent. This starts the extensive Bug Planting minigame. First, you need to unscrew the air vent, which is simple enough.

Next, you need to calibrate the bug you’re about to plant using your smartphone. Using the analog sticks, you need to first calibrate the sensitivity and then the frequency, by moving the analog sticks around the field until the icons turn bright green. Then hold the stick in that position until the calibration meter is filled.

After doing these individually, you then need to calibrate both simultaneously. After the bug is calibrated, replace the air vent. You now need to pick the lock to the rear exit door.

Lock Picking is going to become a recurring minigame, and you’re going to probably be learning under some stress if the bug planting took too much time. Fortunately, the lock only has three pins. Move the pins up slowly until they turn green, using the right analog stick. Then pull the pick to the left using the left analog stick. Repeat this with each pin until the lock is opened. Exit the kitchen to complete the mission.

Note

“Not-Ping” calls you up in the wake of your narrow escape from the Golden Koi. She is more than a little interested in Wei Shen, and you should go see her at her store as soon as possible. Her date unlocks a series of favors revolving around Tiffany from Club Bam Bam. You also unlock the ability to see on the in-game map where all of the hackable Spy Cameras are located.
