Tian Ling felt uncomfortable after this breakfast. She had to eat, but she couldn't avoid the conversation, so she forced herself to finish a bowl of wontons while also having to endure the dog food thrown her way by Tong Le and Dao Wen. She sighed, thinking how nice it would be to have a man at home, but in this world, aside from Fan Qinghua, she found no one else appealing.
At that moment, her phone buzzed with a message from the group chat. The so-called group chat was a temporary setup for a hacker team investigating the whereabouts of Jin Feng's mobile phone, where several skilled experts had gathered to work together on the case.
With half a bun in her mouth, Tian Ling suddenly stood up and rushed to the coffee table, sitting down on the floor and opening her laptop. Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she finished chewing her bun. Turning her head, she exclaimed, "I found it! The last location and time of Jin Feng's mobile phone was right after the incident of the fall! There were multiple signals detected!"
Tong Le immediately put down his chopsticks, and Zong Zeyu and the others hurried into the living room. Tong Le couldn't understand the complex interface on the computer screen and asked Tian Ling to simplify it for him. "Are you saying that Jin Feng's phone wasn't destroyed?"
Tian Ling wasn't sure if it had been destroyed or not, but she confirmed that the last time there was a network signal from Jin Feng's phone was after her body fell, meaning it had remained in the hands of the perpetrator after her death. The last known location of that phone signal was here.
Tian Ling pointed at the computer screen and zoomed in on the map. The location was strange; it was on a National Highway near the provincial border.
Tong Le frowned, saying that checking surveillance footage at such a location would likely be difficult since there probably weren't any cameras there. Even if the phone appeared somewhere within that area, it would be better than showing up on a National Highway like this; they wouldn't be able to search effectively in that spot.
Zong Zeyu disagreed, suggesting they send someone to drive over and check out the terrain nearby—what if there were hideouts in that area? The sides of the National Highway might not be completely desolate.
Tian Ling proposed, "I'll mention it in the group chat and see if we can check satellite maps." After obtaining map information, they all stared intently at the computer screen as if trying to scrutinize every detail.
Dao Wen pointed at a corner of the screen. "Here! This patch of wasteland—doesn't it look like there's a factory back there?"
Tian Ling zoomed in as much as possible until it indeed resembled a factory.
Dao Wen speculated, "Assuming the phone wasn't destroyed and has been carried by someone all along, could that be possible?"
Tong Le nodded. "It’s possible."
Zong Zeyu decisively said, "Then let's send someone to investigate the terrain nearby first. Regardless of whether we find any clues or not, we should check it out."
Meanwhile, in Wu Youyou's art studio. Under Tong Le's arrangement, Wu Youyou had booked a transport company to ship several wall paintings from South Corner to the north. She had already informed her friends at South Corner about installing trackers and cameras in discreet places on some of the paintings.
Following Tong Le's instructions, Wu Youyou chose the cheapest shipping option; the truck wouldn't go directly but would require transferring to another vehicle along the way. The entire journey would take about four or five days.
After confirming the first transportation schedule, Wu Youyou informed Tong Le. Tong Le assigned someone to monitor the transportation vehicle in real-time and keep a record of the surveillance footage.
Tong Le had already agreed with Wu Youyou that they would continue to use Ke Wenjie’s logistics company for deliveries, ensuring that their identities remained unknown to Ke Wenjie. The studio's junior staff would handle the coordination with the logistics company.
Wu Youyou agreed and complied, carefully repackaging the large paintings each time while checking the surveillance and positioning equipment. The artworks were transported back and forth from South Corner to the north, and then back again to South Corner. Wu Youyou was unclear about Tong Le's intentions but could only follow instructions.
This repetitive process continued for over a month until Tong Le finally called it off.
That afternoon, Wu Youyou went to Zong Group. Tong Le, Dao Wen, Zong Zeyu, and Zong Jin were all present. Upon entering the office, Wu Youyou approached Tong Le and Xiang Dai, stating that the paintings had been delivered and asking if there was anything else she needed to do.
Tong Le handed Wu Youyou a neatly organized document and explained, "Currently, there’s nothing more for you to do. Through the transportation records and surveillance footage from earlier, we discovered that Ke Wenjie’s logistics company occasionally takes detours and stops for extended periods at an abandoned storage facility. The surveillance shows that vehicles transporting the paintings pick up additional cargo along the way, unload it near the destination, and then continue their journey."
