The Jade Figurine Trick is a Trick in the Hitman video game series.
Context
Agent 47 has been hired by the ICA to take out Lee Hong, the leader of Hong Kong's Red Dragon Triad. In order to destabilize the triad and make Lee Hong vulnerable, 47 and Diana have engineered a war with the rival Blue Lotus Triad, also causing him to lose support of the police.
The Trick
Before assassinating Lee Hong, Diana tasks 47 with stealing his Jade Figurine, an artifact of great monetary as well as symbolic value, since no one has led the Red Dragon Triad without holding it in their possession. Without claiming the figurine, none of Lee Hong's men will be able to legitimately assume command after his death, causing it to devolve into anarchy and in-fighting.
The figurine is stored in a safe in the restaurant that serves as the Red Dragon's headquarters. However, a number of decoy safes have also been placed around the premises. To retrieve the figurine, 47 needs to find the correct safe and also obtain its combination:
- Diana informs 47 that one of their agents, Carlton Smith, had been infiltrated inside the the restaurant, but the Agency hasn't heard from him in weeks. 47 learns from the bartender that he is locked in the basement. After being rescued, Agent Smith tells 47 the location of the safe containing the Jade Figurine.
- Diana tells 47 that Lee Hong runs a brothel attached to the restaurant, and suggests that they may be able to take advantage of his appetite for women. 47 enters the brothel posing as a client, looking to extract information from the girls who work there. He meets Lei Ling, who knows the safe combination and agrees to give it to him after he helps her escape.
After retrieving the Jade Figurine from the safe, 47 takes it to the clerk of the restaurant's Herbal Shop, who is working with the Agency to smuggle it out.
