Shanghai Justice (steps 4-8) Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

(4) Finding Lee Hong's apartment

Lee Hong's apartment is located in the Youzhao district. The quickest way to get there is to choose the passageway located directly to the west from the landing pad where you've started exploring Hengsha #1. If you'd like to follow the game's suggestions instead you'll have to go to the southern passageway. In this case you would have to use the ladders after making your way to the Youzhao district #2 in order to get to the roofs of level three.

The apartment you're searching for is located in the south-eastern part of the district. If you've used the ladders, then you'll have to cross a small bridge to get there #1. If you've chosen the passageway I suggested, then you'll already begin close to Lee's apartment #2. Use the stairs to get closer to the entrance.

Sadly the apartment is closed, so you'll have to interact with an electronic lock #1. The mechanism has a level three protection, so you may have to improve your hacking skills and acquire applications to lower the difficulty level of the mini-game. Once the door is unlocked enter the apartment #2.

Reward: 375 experience points.

(5) Searching for evidence in Lee Hong's apartment

The game will ask you to find Lee, but since he's not here all you have to do is to get to the last room of the apartment which is going to be the toilet (screen above). Malik will ask you to look around.

Reward: 100 experience points.

You must perform several actions and you won't be allowed to proceed with the quest until you've found all clues. Start off by interacting with a computer terminal #1 and solving a mini-game. Read both messages #2 to find out that the Hong family is investing a lot of money in LIMB clinics. You'll also learn that Lee's parents aren't too happy that he's dating "lower class" women and that they're threatening to cut him off from the family fortune.

The next object you should examine is an antique clock #1 and it may have been used to deal a deadly blow. Approach the bed and activate an answering machine #2. This will allow you to find out that Lee Hong is a frequent guest in the Hive nightclub.

The last object you'll need to examine is a baseball bat and it can be found near the main door to the apartment (screen above). Jensen will notice that the bat has been cleaned recently. Wait for Malik to contact you. She will suggest to go to the Hive to look around for Lee.

Reward: 800 experience points.

(6) Finding Lee in the Hive nightclub

Map legend: 1 - Lee (VIP room).

In order to get to the Hive nightclub you'll have to leave the Youzhao district and I would recommend choosing the passageway located to the east of Lee's apartment #1. Enter the Hive #2 using the same method as before (you can read the Step 6 of Hunting the Hacker quest if you forgot what they were).

Reward: 100 experience points.

Once you're inside the nightclub use the stairs leading to the upper floor #1 and you'll end up in the VIP section. Make a few steps forward here and you'll find Lee Hong sitting on a couch #2.

Reward: 100 experience points.

(7) Extracting a confession from Lee Hong

As soon as the conversation with Lee Hong has started Jensen will automatically make efforts to convince Lee that he knows the truth and that he wants a bribe from him to keep quiet. Your task will be behave correctly, so that you'll prove to Lee that you know exactly what happened with his ex-girlfriend. Here's a list of correct dialogue options:

• Inaccurate - The police report was full of inconsistencies.
• Drunk - Evelyn didn't drink any alcohol prior to her death.
• Antique Clock - A clock from Lee's apartment was used to murder Evelyn.
• Pregnant - Evelyn was pregnant at the time of death.
• LIMB - Hong family is very influential and because of all the investments made in the LIMB clinics it was able to force the local authorities to end the investigation prematurely.

If you've chosen the correct responses, then Lee will admit that he murdered his girlfriend and Malik will automatically record this statement. An interesting thing to know is that you can achieve a similar result by using the Social Enhancer augmentation. You would have to activate the pheromones (press the Z key) and choose an alpha type of personality.

If you've successfully convinced Lee Hong to admit to killing Evelyn, then Malik will ask you to hack into one of the terminals in the Hive. Turn around and go to your right #1. The terminal is on the wall #2 and it has level three protection. Consider using camouflage (Cloaking System augmentation) or neutralizing nearby guards (preferably quietly) if an attempt to hack the terminal results in alarming the people inside the VIP section. Once you've solved the mini-game disable the security protocols of the Hive.

Reward: 750 experience points.

If you've failed the conversation with Lee (or chosen a wrong type of personality), then you won't get his confession and you won't be given a second chance to undo your mistakes. This also means you won't have to hack the terminal in the Hive.

(8) Reporting back to Malik

It doesn't matter whether you've failed or succeeded during the conversation with Lee, because in both cases you'll have to meet Malik. Exit the club and go left #1. A cut-scene should be displayed shortly #2.

Reward: 1100 experience points.

If the meeting with Lee ended in a failure, then Malik will thank you for trying. If you've succeeded, then she will have an additional surprise for you. Follow her advice by turning around and approaching the Hive. Witness an interesting way to get back at Lee. The good news is that in both cases you'll receive a Praxis kit (even if you didn't get Lee's statement).

Reward: 1100 experience points.
