Then, Elaine clicked on the ordering interface and exclaimed,
“Chinese, French, Japanese, Italian… Oh my God, you have so many menus…”
“These menus are not even in general hotels. So many varieties?”
The nurse nodded and said, “We have many Michelin restaurants that we cooperate with.”
“Generally, after you choose, the restaurant will deliver your order within an hour,”
“So you should place your order a little in advance to avoid the long waiting time.”
Elaine asked quickly: “Why isn’t there a price on this?”
“I don’t dare to order it without a price.”
“If this meal costs several thousand dollars, wouldn’t the family be bankrupt?”
The nurse explained: “Ms. Ma, you are now in the top VIP ward of our hospital,”
“Which is generally used internally by our president’s family members,”
“So you don’t need to pay for everything when you live here.”
My god, it’s free??” Elaine asked in surprise and delight:
“Then are there any desserts, drinks, perfumes, or skin care spas on it, are these also free?!”
“Yes.” The nurse nodded and said: “All the services that can be provided are free.”
“You can order whatever you like. If there is something that is not suitable for your current physical condition,”
“We will give you professional advice.”
Elaine was extremely excited. She said,
“Okay, okay, then I’ll study it carefully later!”
The nurse bowed slightly and said, “Then you can ring the bell whenever you need something,”
“And I’ll be on standby at the nurse center next door to you.”
After the nurse left the ward, she looked at Charlie, and said with admiration:
“You have to be my good son-in-law! That’s why you have such great skills!”
“In such a good place, you don’t need to spend money on seeing a doctor and being hospitalized,”
“And you don’t need to spend money on food and drink.”
“If there is no time limit, I can live here until my 80th birthday!”
After speaking, she hesitated for a moment and asked experimentally:
“Good son-in-law, do you think Mom can live here and rest well?”
“Recuperate, I won’t go to Providence for the time being.”
Charlie didn’t expect that Elaine would offer to not return to Providence,”
“So he agreed without hesitation: “Actually, I also think it would be better for you to stay here.”
“Better because there are the best doctors and nurses here who can give you the best treatment and care 24 hours a day,”
“Much more convenient than going to Providence, after all,”
“No one in Providence can take care of you 24/7.”
Elaine nodded again and again, and said seriously:
“Anyway, you don’t need to spend money here, and there are people waiting for everything,”
“Such a big advantage, don’t take it for nothing!”
After speaking, she said again: “Oh, yes, Claire’s course is estimated to have only a week left,”
“And then you will definitely be leaving from New York.”
“In my opinion, it is better for me to live here alone. While recuperating,”
“You go to Providence to accompany Claire first, and after she graduates,”
“The two of you will come to New York to pick me up, and we will go back together.”
Charlie nodded and said, “This arrangement is quite good.”
“Yes, but the only problem is that Claire has always been worried about you.”
“We have to let her know that you are out of prison before she can relax,”
“And we can’t let her know that your leg is injured. Otherwise,”
“She will definitely want to come to New York to see you.”
“It’s easy!” Elaine said without hesitation: “I will call her in a while and say that I have been released from prison,”
“And then met a very close prisoner in prison friend,”
“My inmate invited me to stay in New York for a few days,”
“So I won’t go back yet, when you come from Providence to New York, I will tell her the truth.”
Charlie felt that Elaine’s this idea was good.
So he said, “Okay, if that’s the case, then you can call her.”
Elaine took out her mobile phone, charged it for a while and turned it on, then immediately Call Claire.
Claire had just returned to the hotel from school at this time,
And suddenly saw her mother’s mobile number calling her,
The whole person was startled at first, and then she realized that her mother was probably out of prison,
So she immediately answered the phone, Excitedly asked: “Mom, is that you?!”
Elaine quickly said: “It’s mom, Claire!”
“I want to tell you good news, I have been released from prison!”
When Elaine said that she had been released from prison,
Claire immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly,
“Mom, where are you now? Has Charlie contacted you?”
Elaine hurriedly said: “Charlie is right in front of me,”
“And he let me out because of the relationship he helped me find.”
Claire was very happy, and said quickly, “Mom, then hurry back with Charlie.”
“Well, you don’t know how worried I was about you during this time!”
Elaine pursed her lips and said embarrassedly:
“That… Claire… Mom doesn’t want to come to Providence,”
“That place is really boring, why not I stayed in New York for a few days,”
“And I just met a friend in prison, and we came out on the same day,”
“And she invited me to stay in New York for a few days.”
Claire refused almost without hesitation after hearing this:
“Mom, don’t trust people outside. How did you get into the prison, haven’t you figured it out?”
“Those people outside don’t really want to be friends with you,”
“They only get close when they have plans for you!”
Elaine explained: “Oh no, Claire, the friend your mother met in prison is a very real person.”
“Like your mother, she was in prison after being framed by gangsters.”
Saying that Elaine moved out of the story of the compatriot she met in the prison, and sighed:
“Do you know how this sister got into the prison?”
“You may not believe it because she sold hairy crabs to the Chinese in here,”
“And the result was a stupid dog couldn’t buy it, he turned around and reported it to police,”
“And as a result, she was sent to prison!”
“How can you say that there are such bad people in this world?”
Claire, however, didn’t understand, but she still said worriedly:
“Mom, you finally got out of prison, I really worry that you are alone in New York,”
“Or you should listen to me and come back with Charlie. Come to Providence!”
Elaine said firmly: “Oh, Claire! Do you want to believe it?”
“There is absolutely no problem with seeing people this time.”
“Just I will be careful. What else can your mother do now to be deceived?”
After speaking, Elaine was afraid that Claire would not agree, so she stubbornly said:
“Anyway, I have already promised my sister that I will have a good time in New York for a few days!”
Claire said helplessly. : “Mom, then give Charlie the phone!”
“Okay.” Elaine hurriedly handed the phone to Charlie, then winked at him.
Charlie answered the phone and said, “Hello, wife.”
Claire on the other end of the phone asked,
“Husband, have you seen the friend Mom is talking about? Is she reliable?”
He can only say casually: “I have seen her, she’s quite reliable,”
“I also asked customers to help me in New York. Mom must be fine here, you can rest assured.”
Hearing Charlie’s words, Claire was relieved and said helplessly:
“Okay, with mom’s character, as long as it’s something she decides,”
“Even eight horses can’t pull it back. Since you think it’s reliable, then I won’t argue with her. “…”
After speaking, Claire said again: “Husband,”
“This time is really too hard for you, thank you for your troubles for mom!”
Charlie smiled slightly and said softly:
“Wife, do you still need to be so polite to me?”
“Besides, your mother is mom-in-law, this is my duty.”
Claire hummed softly and asked him,
“Husband, So when are you going to come back?”
Charlie thought to himself, his current mission in New York was completed,
And it was time to go back to accompany Claire, so he said,
“I’ll come back later, a few hours’ drive away. I’ll be there.”
Claire reminded: “By the way, husband, don’t forget to thank your customer.”
“They must have been worrying about helping us these days.”
“Why don’t you invite them to dinner in the evening,”
“If they have enough time, wait for it. We will drive back after dinner,”
“If we don’t have enough time, it’s fine to come back early tomorrow morning,”
“We can’t let others think we’ve been disrespectful.”
Charlie didn’t plan to invite Douglas to dinner,
But since Claire said so, he planned to explain it to Orvel and Issac first,
And let them stay at Shangri-La in New York for the time being.
So, he said to her: “Good wife, then I’ll make arrangements and come back as soon as possible.”
He hung up the phone and said to Elaine, “Mom, you are staying here these few days.”
“Take a good rest, I’ll go meet the client, and then go back to accompany Claire.”
“Go, go!” Elaine said with a smile: “Mom will definitely be taken care of here,”
“You and Claire, don’t worry about Mom!”
Charlie naturally didn’t worry about Elaine.
The treatment given to her by Douglas’s hospital is basically the highest level,
That only core members of the Fei family can enjoy.
Elaine recuperating here will definitely make her feel that her broken leg is worth the money.
So, Charlie said goodbye to Elaine and prepared to go to Shangri-La Hotel.
But just as he got into the car, he suddenly received a call.
To his surprise, the caller turned out to be Duncan,
Who had just returned home to reunite with his family two days ago.
Charlie answered the phone and asked curiously, “Why did Inspector Li call me at this time?”
“Shouldn’t you be with your family in Houston?”
Duncan sneered and said, “Master Wade, I’m in New York, and I’ve made an appointment.”
“The evening flight is going to the Middle East to Syria,”
“So I want to ask if you are still in New York if you are still in New York,”
“I would like to meet you and chat face-to-face.”
Charlie was a little surprised, he did not plan to let Duncan,
So quickly into the work of investigating that mysterious organization.
After all, he is also a person who has been shut out of the gate of hell for a while.
At this time, he would definitely prefer to spend more time with his family.
Therefore, Charlie gave him at least a week to reunite with his family.
But it was full of calculations, and it was only two or three days ago that Duncan had already arrived in New York.
However, Charlie didn’t ask too much on the phone,
But said very readily: “If that’s the case, let’s meet at Shangri-La.”
Duncan said without hesitation: “Okay, Young Master Wade,”
“Then I’ll do it now. Rush over to see you!”
…
Twenty minutes later.
Charlie arrived at Shangri-La first.
When he first arrived in the presidential suite, Orvel quickly came to report:
“Master Wade, that Inspector Li is here.”
Charlie nodded: “Let him come in.”
Orvel hurriedly put Duncan in casual clothes to come in.
When he saw Charlie, Duncan bowed his hands to him respectfully,
And said respectfully, “Master Wade, we meet again!”
Charlie smiled slightly, pointed to the sofa in front of him, and said,
“Inspector Li, please take a seat. Didn’t I leave you more than a week to reunite with your family in Houston?”
“Why are you ready to go to Syria so soon?”
Duncan laughed at himself and sighed: “My daughter and son-in-law are busy watching cars and houses every day,”
“And have no time to accompany me. I don’t want to continue to waste time in Houston,”
“I plan to go to Syria first, meet the live mouth you caught last time, and learn about the details.”
Charlie saw Duncan’s expression was a little lonely, smiled knowingly, and said:
“Inspector Li, people have seven emotions and six desires, and material desire is one of the most important ones.”
“People work hard to make money and want a better life,”
“And material desire accounts for at least more than half of them.”
“Young people pursue material desire and enjoy life.”
“This is also not a bad case. It’s not a bad thing, you don’t need to be too concerned.”
“Yes…” Duncan sighed and nodded helplessly,
He also knew that Charlie was right, but he was still a little disappointed.
Charlie persuaded him, then changed the subject and asked, “Inspector Li, have you thought about where you want to start investigating that mysterious organization this time?”
“According to the confession I got before, this mysterious organization’s information protection is extremely strict, and it is not easy to find their clues.”
Duncan said seriously: “I have thought about this issue carefully these days,”
“And they have hidden the relevant clues very well, whether it is the dead or the living.”
“Basically, your aunt’s family has not left any clues that have any substantial relationship with this mysterious organization.”
“As you told me, those dead men have worked for this organization for hundreds of years,”
“But they don’t even know where they are. I don’t know anywhere,”
“This kind of secrecy method can be said to be unheard of…”
After speaking, Duncan added: “However, I think we can narrow it down a little bit from a large scale,”
“Such as finding a way to investigate first, that group of dead soldiers Which of the seven continents they are stationed in,”
“And which state it is. Then get it locked, and then find a way to further refine it.”
Charlie sighed: “It’s probably not that simple to determine which of the seven continents they are in.”
“After all, these dead men have been in darkness for so many years, and they haven’t found any clues themselves.”
Duncan said confidently: “As long as the job you caught is high enough,”
“And your memory is good enough, then I have a chance. Lock the approximate area with him.”
After speaking, he further explained: “Master Wade, no matter how hidden they are hidden in,”
“They will not be able to get rid of the impact of major geological disasters,”
“If an earthquake occurs, they will definitely have the relevant departments also have clear records of every detectable earthquake that has occurred in this world.”
“So, the question now is, they must remember how many earthquakes they can feel have occurred,”
“The problem is, they don’t have an accurate timeline, and they don’t have outside information to back it up.”
After speaking, he took out a printed document from his bag, handed it to Charlie, and said,
“Master Wade, this is the major natural disasters that have occurred around the world in the past 20 years based on the statistics I have collected in the past two days.”
“Among them, serious tsunamis, earthquakes, and typhoons are the main ones. If you can roughly match the memory of the other party,”
“Then every memory of his will become a coordinate. As long as there are enough coordinates, it can help me find their approximate location.”
Charlie asked tentatively: “Is it like the so-called communication base station positioning?”
“Yes!” Duncan nodded heavily and said, “That’s what it means! Each time it corresponds to the last major disaster,”
“It can reduce them to a certain extent. If they can correspond to the tsunami in Indonesia,”
“It means that the area they are in is within the coverage of the Indonesian tsunami.”
“If they can also correspond to the tsunami in Japan in the last 11 years, then they are in the area of two The overlapping part of the coverage of the second tsunami,”
“So the more clues you find, the more accurate the positioning will be.”
Charlie couldn’t help but admire: “Detective Li is indeed a well-known detective in the United States,”
“And this method can be thought of by you. It seems that you find out their specific whereabouts, it should only be a matter of time!”
Charlie once felt that finding the specific address of the dead men would be as difficult as going to the sky.
The reason is that the mysterious organization controls the dead men extremely tightly,
Preventing them from perceiving the exact time, nor allowing them to perceive the light,
Temperature, sound, and the changing seasons of the outside world.
Therefore, May 47 doesn’t even know which of the seven continents he lives in,
Let alone whether he is in the tropics or the frigid zone.
Even the only living mouth can’t come up with any substantive clues,
And it is even more impossible for outsiders to find this place.
However, Duncan accurately found clues that the mysterious organization could not control.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons are all powerful natural phenomena.
If a strong bunker can still isolate typhoons and tsunamis,
Then no matter how strong the bunker is, it is impossible to isolate the strong shock caused by the earthquake.
Those who are imprisoned in the dark, or in some kind of underground fortification,
May not perceive the sunlight, the stars, the real sound, and the temperature of the outside world,
But when the earthquake comes, no matter how deep they are.
Underground or in a cave, they will definitely feel something.
Moreover, violent earthquakes are not common. If they have occurred,
A very accurate timeline can be judged. In this way, as long as the clues are relatively consistent,
There is a high probability that they can correspond.
However, Duncan was not overly optimistic, he said to Charlie with a dignified expression:
“Master Wade, the job you mentioned is the only clue that can be found so far that is related to that mysterious organization,”
“If I can successfully find their station, it is possible to find the clues of the mysterious organization behind it,”
“But if I can’t find their station, or if they have already evacuated this group of dead soldiers when I find them,”
“Then I am afraid the clues will be completely cut off.”
“After all, last time The mission of that group of dead men was a complete failure,”
“Maybe the mysterious organization will move all the dead men to other places out of caution.”
Charlie nodded and said seriously: “I think there is a high probability that they will not evacuate.”
“Think about it, why did they spend so much energy to hide this station,”
“And even tried their best to block the perception of these dead men?”
“It’s because of this. The site selection, construction, and maintenance of the station take a long time and cost,”
“And it cannot be easily replaced, so they must ensure that the dead soldiers who are sent out on the mission know nothing about the place where they live,”
“So that even if they failed and were captured, they couldn’t provide the actual information about the station.”
Duncan nodded: “If that’s the case, it would be the best,”
“The station of the dead must be closely guarded by the core members of this organization,”
“As long as you can find this station,”
“You can follow the vines and find the veins of this mysterious organization.”
After speaking, he looked up at Charlie and asked, “Master Wade,”
“Based on my years of experience in the police,”
“I have concluded an eternal truth. , that is: contact is always mutual.”
Charlie said lightly: “Inspector Li may wish to talk about it.”
Duncan said: “If you watch too many police and bandit movies,”
“It will make people feel that the police always seem to be completely unaware of the criminals.”
“However, the criminals of that kind are relatively low-level.”
“A considerable number of high-IQ criminals have a very sensitive sense of smell.”
“We have just found his clues and also When he didn’t lock his identity,”
“He had already discovered us, and when we tried to dig deeper into the clues,”
“The other party had already disappeared. The organization you mentioned is extremely powerful.”
“When the time comes, it is very likely that they will find me too.”
“Also, this is not the police catching criminals,”
“Generally, the worst result is that people run away and are not caught.”
Duncan continued: “However, this mysterious organization is stronger than me.”
“It’s too much, maybe even stronger than you, and once we come into contact with them,”
“The situation is likely to get out of hand, and we may even be exposed to them.”
Speaking of this, Duncan said with a dignified expression: “Master Wade,”
“I’m not telling you this because I’m afraid of death or retreating, after all, you saved my life,”
“And it is thanks to you that my wife, children, and grandchildren are alive today.”
“It doesn’t matter if I die, I just hope that you can prepare in advance to protect yourself on the one hand,”
“And on the other hand, if possible, please try to protect my family as much as possible.”
Charlie was silent for a moment, and said solemnly:
“Detective Li, what you need to do now is to work with May 47, using your professional skills,”
“The natural disaster data in your hand, and the memory of May 47, in a state of no contact,”
“First put the location of the other party and lock it,”
“If you really need to get in touch, I will go out in person without you taking risks.”
Duncan quickly explained: “Master Wade, I’m not afraid of taking risks…”
Charlie nodded: “I know, I too I don’t doubt your courage, but as you said, contact is mutual.”
“To be cautious, if you really need to make contact,”
“It is definitely more secure for me to contact than you,”
“So you just do the preliminary investigation and about the rest let me decide.”
Duncan’s purpose was to remind Charlie to be careful and cautious again.
Seeing that Charlie had accepted his suggestion, Duncan was relieved and said,
“Master Wade, since this is the case, then I have nothing to worry about,”
“And I will let you know as soon as I make progress.”
…
Evening.
When Charlie drove back to Providence, Duncan took a Virgin Atlantic flight to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, via London.
After a twelve-hour flight, after the plane landed in Beirut,
Joseph personally used a helicopter to take him to Cataclysmic Front’s base in Syria.
Due to the extremely abundant funds for the infrastructure construction of the Front,
The current base already has a prototype of a large scale.
A large number of workers from all over the Middle East are working on this huge construction site 24 hours a day,
And the various high-end heavy machinery used in the construction of the base can only be seen in developed countries.
When Duncan saw several Liebherr 750-ton all-terrain cranes hoisting wind turbines around the base, he was stunned.
He subconsciously asked Joseph: “Master Wan…”
“Are these wind turbines also owned by Cataclysmic Front?!”
Joseph nodded and said with a smile, “The power source of the Cataclysmic Front is diverse.”
“There are several types, and wind power generation is only one of them.”
“On the mountain not far away, we have already built a large number of photovoltaic power generation systems.”
“We use photovoltaic power during the day and wind power at night.”
“There is not enough official supply from Syria.”
“They will invest in the construction of large-scale energy storage base stations.”
“In addition, more than 80% of the oil in Syria is not in their hands,”
“And the Syrian government will not get a dime,”
“So they plan to give us a mining license. We can explore and extract oil by ourselves,”
“And then invest in building an oil refinery and oil power plant.”
Duncan was shocked and blurted out: “This battle is too big…”
Joseph said lightly: “Mr. Wade arranged it, he asked me to build it into a permanent base,”
“So the infrastructure must be well-prepared, and Mr. Wade gave tens of billions of dollars in funding,”
“So we plan to invest more funds and take money Change the time.”
Duncan couldn’t help but admire: “Young Master Wade is really generous in his work.”
“If this base is completely built, maybe it will be able to compete with that mysterious organization.”
After speaking, he quickly asked: “By the way, Master Wan,”
“Where is the job that Young Master Wade talked about now?”
Joseph said, “May 47 is in the core area with the highest level of confidentiality,”
“Inspector Li, please come with me!”
Under the leadership of Joseph, Duncan came to the core area of the Cataclysmic Front.
The so-called core area is a four-square-kilometer central area at the very center of the Cataclysmic Front base.
Although the base has not yet been completed, a high wall has been erected in the core area,
And inside the high wall, there are a large number of frame buildings of different heights.
These framed buildings are all modular building units purchased by Cataclysmic Front.
After rapid assembly, they can be put into use in the shortest time.
However, these buildings are only a temporary transition.
Once the Base is completed, these buildings will be gradually demolished and eliminated.
Joseph brought Duncan to a six-story building.
The interior of the building, the rapid renovation has ended.
Although the construction site is still in full swing outside,
There were basically no traces of construction inside.
A few minutes later, on the top floor of the building, Duncan saw May 47 who had lost his limbs.
During this period of time, May 47 became the tactical guide of the Cataclysmic Front.
Although he lost his hands and feet, he still taught all the formations he had mastered when he was a dead soldier,
And let the soldiers of Cataclysmic Front give him a quick look.
It seems to have opened the door to a new world and has mastered many unprecedented flexible tactics.
In order to study how to decipher the tactics of these dead soldiers,
Joseph also arranged for several senior officials of Cataclysmic Front to study,
The methods of restraining the dead soldiers’ tactics together with May 47.
In order to ensure that the secrets of May 47 are not leaked,
Only the high-level officials of Cataclysmic Front are qualified to set foot in this building,
And May 47 himself never leaves this building for half a step.
At this time, May 47 was discussing tactics with several instructors in Cataclysmic Front.
Joseph invited the others out, then invited Duncan to come in and said to May 47,
“Mr. 47, Mr. Wade’s invitation Detective Li is here,”
“He is here to investigate the mysterious organization behind you,”
“I hope you can cooperate with Detective Li and explain everything you know to him.”
Seeing Duncan on May 47, the whole person was as horrified as if he had seen a ghost!
He hadn’t heard of Duncan’s name, nor did he know his origin and background,
But he remembered Duncan’s face, and when he went to assassinate the An family,
When the elevator door opened, the first thing he saw was this man’s face in front of him.
At the time, he was even the first person to shoot.
Therefore, he knew very well how many shots Duncan was shot at that time,
And he could conclude that Duncan had no chance of surviving at all.
Because of this, when he saw Duncan’s familiar and unfamiliar face, he panicked to the extreme.
Duncan also knew that this person was the culprit who almost killed him in the first place,
But he didn’t get angry, just smiled slightly:
“Looking at your surprised appearance, you should still remember me, right?”
May 47 was frightened, and couldn’t help but said: “This…how is this possible…”
“At that time…that person at that time…is that you?!”
Duncan smiled indifferently and said: “If the person you’re talking about is the one,”
“Who was beaten into a hornet’s nest by you at the elevator door, then I can tell you in person that it’s me.”
“But…but it’s not logical….”
May 47 said suspiciously, “You were shot so many times, your body died at that time,”
“And it was obviously impossible to revive…”
Duncan nodded, and earnestly said: “I was going to die,”
“But I was lucky to have Mr. Wade, so I came back to life.”
“Mr. Wade…” May 47 suddenly remembered Charlie’s shocking strength,
And how he could still break the poison that had been comforting him for more than 30 years with a snap of his fingers,
And then he thought of how Duncan had been shot to the end at that time,
And he was even more impressed with Charlie.
So, he said very ashamedly: “Detective Li, I have done many bad things at the beginning, please forgive me…”
Duncan nodded and said indifferently:
“You were also acting on orders, which is understandable.”
May 47 breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said:
“Inspector Li, no matter what questions you have,”
“As long as I know, I will say everything.”
May 47 has long hated the organization that controls his own destiny.
To the core, he even looked forward to Charlie finding the resident of his own line of dead men,
And helping him saving his wife, children, and family by the way, so he naturally cooperated with Duncan.
Duncan nodded, and without too much nonsense, he went straight to the point and said:
“The most urgent task now is to find a way to find out the location of your station on the map.
Before that, I don’t know if you have any valuable clues to follow that you can share?”
May 47 shook his head and said, “To tell you the truth, Detective Li,”
“I have been thinking about this issue for a while,”
“But the organization was too cautious and didn’t let me leave any valuable information.”
Duncan smiled slightly, took out the list of major natural disasters that he had sorted out,
And asked him, “Mr. 47, how old are you this year?”
May 47 hurriedly said: “Going back to Detective Li,”
“I will arrive at the age of thirty-six this year or between the ages of thirty-eight.”
Duncan asked curiously, “How did you calculate your age?”
May 47 explained: “There is a secretly recorded ‘calendar’ inside the dead man.”
“I have roughly recorded the time of my own work and rest,”
“But since there is no absolute reference standard, there are still some errors.”
Duncan nodded and said, “Then let’s count it according to the age of thirty-eight.”
Thirty-five years of major natural disasters have been sorted out,”
“And while looking at the entry, he asked:
“From your birth to the last time you left the station, has your station moved or changed?”
“No.” May 47 replied: “The place where I was born is an underground fortification,”
“That I don’t know where or how deep it is. I haven’t migrated for so many years.”
Duncan asked again: “Then in your memory, have there ever been a very strong disaster? earthquake?”
“Big earthquake?” May 47 thought about it and said,
“There has been a relatively strong earthquake, but it has been many years.”
“Many years?” Duncan asked again: “How many years are many years?”
May 47 frowned and thought for a moment, then said,
“It’s about twenty years, but my timeline may deviate from reality to a certain extent.”
“The difference between positive and negative is within two years.”
Duncan nodded and stretched out his hand to take the 2008 China, Japan in 2011, and several items closer to the timeline were crossed out, and then he said:
“In this case, you can exclude the surrounding areas of Japan, as well as the central and southwestern parts of China.”
After speaking, he saw the entry for Indonesia in 2004 and asked:
“Does the earthquake in your memory feel strong?”
May 47 said without hesitation: “It was very strong,”
“And even brought a lot of damage to our station at that time,”
“Some people were injured, and some people even died.”
Duncan’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: “That might be the Indonesian tsunami in 2004.”
He took out the map, found the epicenter of the Indonesian tsunami on it, and muttered:
“The epicenter at that time, In western Indonesia, the earthquake was felt in many countries and regions,”
“But the earthquake in your area was relatively strong, and it should be around the Indian Ocean, and it may even be in Indonesia.”
“However, in 2003, Hokkaido, Japan, and the Solomon Islands had a magnitude of 7. For the above earthquakes, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake also occurred in Pakistan in 2005,”
“And your timeline is not precise enough, so there may be some deviations here.”
Having said that, he looked at May 47 and asked, “Then this earthquake, do you have any other clues?”
“Other clues?” May 47 was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said,
“There are no clues, although the earthquake was scary,”
“But after all, no one died, so we did not take it too much to our heart.”
Duncan looked at the map and asked, “If the earthquake you are talking about is the tsunami in Indonesia,”
“You live underground. Have there been any flooding accidents after the earthquake?”
“Water penetration…” May 47 pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and blurted out:
“There was indeed a water penetration accident at that time,”
“And the entire station was filled with at least 20 cm thick water. The water was taken away.”
When Duncan heard this, he couldn’t help asking him excitedly: “Was the water salty?”
“It’s too clear, after all, it’s been too long, but in my impression,”
“It seems that after that time, there were some white residues on the ground and clothes,”
“Could it be the salt from the seawater?”
Duncan nodded and said: “The probability is Salt if this is the case,”
“Then what you experienced at the time should be the Indonesian tsunami.”
“The reason why the flood occurred was that the earthquake at that time triggered a tsunami,”
“And many surrounding countries were affected, including your residence.”
Speaking, Duncan circled two areas on the map and said,
“So it seems that your station may be in the western part of South East Asia,”
“Or it may be in the eastern part of Southeast Asia.”
Then, Duncan saw a few more One entry, he muttered:
“The epicenter of the Indonesian tsunami has also had earthquakes in recent years,”
“But the magnitude was not high. Did you feel the tremor?”
May 47 shook his head and said, “I can’t guarantee this.”
“I haven’t felt the tremor for many years, but I can guarantee that I didn’t notice any obvious tremor.”
Duncan nodded: “In this case, it means that your station should be at the relative edge of the 2004 Indonesian tsunami.”
“And it’s basically outside the influence range of the subsequent earthquakes nearby,”
“In this case, it is probably equivalent to locking the area between the ninth ring and the tenth ring on a huge target paper,”
“Which is already a big breakthrough.”
As he said that, he drew a few circles on the map, and finally marked the middle of the two outer circles with a red marker,
And said, “Although these parts are also very large, fortunately, most of them are in the ocean,”
“And you said that your station felt the earthquake in 2004,”
“And there was also water penetration, which proves that your station must be not far from the coastline,”
“It should be in a certain coastal area within this ring or some island!”
Looking at the circle on the map, May 47 said with a complicated expression:
“For so many years and so many people, we have been trying to figure out where we are, but no one knows…”
Speaking of which, May 47 suddenly shed two lines of hot tears,
Letting the tears slide down his face, staring at the not-so-small ring area and choking:
“Detective Li… Thank you… …”
Duncan waved his hand and said, “Don’t rush to thank me now, even this ring area is very large.”
“It’s actually very difficult to do a carpet search here, and before I came,”
“I have also discussed this matter with Young Master Wade.”
“I think it is not suitable to actually go to these areas to search for your station.”
“We discuss these issues on paper, at least not revealing any clues,”
“But once we think If we go to this area to find the other party,”
“We must be prepared to be discovered by the other party.”
After speaking, Duncan added: “So, the best way at present is to find a breakthrough point on paper together,”
“Preferably through the cooperation and analysis between us,”
“We can narrow the target range to a small enough size,”
“And then let Young Master Wade contact them personally.”
May 47 nodded in understanding, and sighed: “The strength of the organization is indeed very strong.”
“It is likely to lead to disasters, and we have not been able to get rid of their rule for so many years,”
“And we don’t even know their true colors. It might be much bigger.”
Duncan said, “It’s really embarrassing that you haven’t escaped the control,”
“Of this organization for so many years and so many generations.”
After speaking, he looked at May 47 and said seriously,
“I think If you want to get rid of the shackles of this century-old tree,”
“Then Young Master Wade is definitely your only chance,”
“Only he can save you dead men and give you back your freedom.”
“Yes!” Nodding, he said with anticipation:
“My biggest dream now is to be able to reunite with my wife and children outside.”
“I’m afraid this dream can only be realized by Mr. Wade…”
As he said that, he asked Duncan, “Inspector Li, what else can you do to make our location more detailed?”
“If you need me to provide clues, I will share everything!”
Duncan looked at May 47 and asked:
“Do you always fly out to perform missions?”
May 47 nodded and said, “Yes! Every time we fly.”
Duncan asked, “What state were you in midway?”
“In a coma.” May 47 said truthfully: “When we are about to go out on a mission,”
“We will first take drugs that make people deeply coma, and then wake up and be there.”
Duncan asked again: “Then how do you make sure that you take a plane every time you go out?”
May 47 explained: “Every time I have a mission,”
“I ask my wife to help me calculate the time. Although our time is not very accurate,”
“The error is not too big when the time axis is relatively short;”
“Every time I go on a mission, the time I can’t grasp is the round-trip journey.”
“I can accurately record the time when I perform the mission in the middle,”
“So every time I go back, I check the time with my wife,”
“And use the time she recorded to reduce the time.”
“The time to do the task recorded in my middle is the time spent on the round trip.”
“Generally speaking, whether we go to any place in the world to perform the task,”
“The time spent on the round trip will not exceed six or seven days. At this speed, only the plane can do it.”
Duncan nodded lightly and said, “It won’t take more than six or seven days,”
“Which means that your turnover efficiency is very high,”
“And even the airport you depart from is likely to be near your station.”
After speaking, Duncan remembered something and blurted out:
“Next, we can take two steps. On the one hand, we can find a more complete map,”
“Including satellite cloud images, and find all the islands and airports in the ring area,”
“And then take each ten-kilometer area around the airport to locate the key investigation targets;”
“As for the other hand, start with your transportation!”
May 47 hurriedly asked, “How do you start with the transportation?”
Duncan said: “Although you are flying on a mission,”
“You didn’t go through customs when you entered the United States, right,”
“Because when you woke up, you had already arrived in the United States and completed the entry.”
“Yes.” May 47 Nodding his head, he said, “Every time we perform a mission,”
“We haven’t gone through the customs, and we have already arrived at the place when we open our eyes.”
Duncan continued: “I don’t know about other countries, but the United States has attached great importance to aviation safety since 9/11.”
“Therefore, it is impossible for the plane you take to enter the United States directly.”
“When entering the United States, you must go through customs.”
“Therefore, they must have chosen a certain country to be the springboard country.”
“First, they will fly the plane to the springboard country,”
“And then immediately arrange for you to sneak across the border by land.”
“The entry line is completed.”
After a pause, Duncan asked again, “Have you been to the United States before?”
May 47 nodded and said, “I went once a few years ago when I went to Los Angeles.”
Duncan continued to ask: “The trip to Los Angeles was the same as the trip to New York,”
“Where you woke up and went back and forth within six or seven days, right?”
May 47 nodded, “Yes.”
Duncan smiled slightly and said: “You must have been smuggled to enter the United States,”
“And there are only two ways to smuggle, either by sea or by land,”
“But if it is by sea, it is impossible to achieve a round-trip time of no more than six or seven days,”
“So I feel that you must be the first to fly by plane.”
“The springboard country, and then smuggled into the USA by land.”
Then, Duncan added: “The United States has only two neighboring countries, Mexico and Canada.”
“If it travels by land, it must be one of these two countries, but Canada’s aviation control is also very strict.”
“So if your plane chooses Canada as the springboard country, you can’t get around the process of going through the customs,”
“But the situation in Mexico is different. Mexico is relatively more chaotic.”
“A plane avoids customs and directly landed somewhere in Mexico. The possibility should still be very large.”
“I can basically confirm that your station is in the coastal areas or islands of western or Eastern South Asia or eastern Southeast Asia,”
“Not far from the airport, and if you are going to the United States to perform a mission,”
“The plane should first fly to Mexico, and then transfer you by land to New York,”
“And the organization must have another group of people stationed there in Mexico.”
“I think Mexico should have the leads I want.”
“Mexico?”
After listening to Duncan’s analysis, May 47 quickly asked:
“Inspector Li, what do you mean, when we go to the United States to perform a mission,”
“The plane will land first in Mexico, and then we move into the United States by land?”
“Yes.” Duncan nodded and said, “This is the most reliable way for me,”
“Other methods are too difficult since they use planes To transport you,”
“You must have a landing site, and neither the United States nor Canada,”
“Can allow them to bypass customs and enter quietly, and only Mexico has this condition.”
May 47 asked in confusion: “The plane enters Mexico, what does it mean?”
“Don’t you need to go through customs?”
Duncan explained: “There are two customs to enter the aircraft,”
“One is air traffic control, the other is customs, air traffic control is to control the aircraft before the plane lands,”
“And the customs is to control the passengers and goods after the plane landed.”
“In the world, no one can completely hide the whereabouts of the plane,”
“Unless he is dead because the current density of civil airliners is too high,”
“The flight must be arranged and dispatched by air traffic control,”
“Otherwise it is very likely to have a collision, so I speculate,”
“The plane that sent you at the beginning must be a normally registered plane,”
“And applied for a route in compliance with the regulations.”
After speaking, Duncan added: “But the advantage of them choosing Mexico is that after the plane lands,”
“They have to get to Mexico. It must be much easier than the United States,”
“And Canada to transport your soldiers out of the customs.”
May 47 nodded lightly and asked Duncan, “Inspector Li, what are you going to do next?”
“You just said that the plane can’t hide its whereabouts, so start the investigation from the plane?”
“Yes.” Duncan said: “From the day you arrive in New York, push it forward three to five days,”
“And put all those entering Mexico in the past few days.”
“All the planes you have taken are sorted out, the one you are taking should be in it,”
“And the rest is how to screen, which should be a lot of work.”
Joseph, who had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth and said:
“Inspector Li, from your position in the ring, flying to any place in Mexico is at least 16,000 kilometers,”
“And most of the planes can’t fly that far,”
“Do you think they fly directly to Mexico or do they have a stopover in the middle for supplies?”
Duncan said with a serious expression: “It tends to fly directly, for them, the stopover adds extra cost.”
“Landing is not only a waste of time but also a great risk.”
“If you think about it, even if you are a strong martial arts master,”
“Once you put them all into a plane, there is still a risk of being taken away by someone.”
“Just imagine, If the plane is shot down during takeoff and landing, what kind of expert can survive the crash?”
Joseph only felt a chill on his back and said, “If the plane really crashed,”
“The speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, coupled with the weight of more than 100 tons and dozens of tons of fuel,”
“I am afraid that no matter how strong the martial arts master is, it is impossible to survive.”
After speaking, Joseph added: “The plane that can fly such a long distance is basically the same.”
“It is an ultra-long-range passenger plane among large passenger planes.”
“Under normal circumstances, some passenger planes can fly more than 16,000 kilometers,”
“Which are also the ultra-long-distance models of Boeing 777 and Airbus A350;”
“If Inspector Li thinks that they will land first in Mexico,”
“Let’s take out the planes that entered Mexico at that time,”
“And focus on checking these ultra-long-range passenger planes,”
“Which should be able to rule out most of the flight information.”
“If the eligible flight information is from the information you drew just now.”
“Those who take off in or near the ring area are the key suspects.”
Duncan’s eyes lit up, and he said, “This clue is very valuable and can save a lot of trouble.”
Joseph said, “Then I’ll do it here. Let someone check the Mexican aircraft entry records during that time!”
Duncan said quickly: “Master Wan, it is not difficult to investigate the aircraft entry records,”
“But can you ensure that your investigation channels are 100% secure?”
“Don’t worry.” Joseph nodded and said, “The information channels of Cataclysmic Front are of a very high level of confidentiality.”
“Besides, we have many firewalls, so Detective Li can rest assured.”
Duncan nodded lightly and instructed: “By the way, Master Wan,”
“I also need to sort out the information of all incoming cargo planes.”
“No problem.”
