The treatment that ine is receiving at Jian’s hospital represents the pinnacle of care, reserved exclusively for the core members of the Fei family.
Being here for her recovery will undoubtedly make her feel that the cost of her broken leg was justified.
After saying his goodbyes to ine, Charlie prepared to head to the Shangri-La Hotel.
However, just as he settled into the car, his phone rang unexpectedly.
To his astonishment, the caller was Li Yalin, who had returned home to be with his family just two days earlier.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Charlie answered, intrigued, “Why is Inspector Li calling me right now? Shouldn’t you be with your family in Houston?”
Li Yalin chuckled and replied, “Master Wade, I’m actually in New York and have an appointment this evening. I’m heading to the Middle East, specifically Syria, and I wanted to know if you’re still in New York. If you are, I’d like to meet and chat in person.”
Charlie was taken aback; he hadn’t intended for Li Yalin to jump right back into investigating that mysterious organization so soon.
After all, he understood that Li Yalin had just escaped a challenging situation and would likely prefer to spend more time with his family.
So, Charlie had expected to give him at least a week for family time.
It was only a couple of days ago that Li Yalin had arrived in New York, but Charlie didn’t delve deeper into that on the call. Instead, he readily said, “If that’s the case, let’s meet at Shangri-La.”
Li Yalin agreed without hesitation, saying, “Alright, Young Master Wade, I’ll head over now. Talk soon!”
…
Twenty minutester, Charlie reached Shangri-La first.
Upon entering the presidential suite, Don Albert rushed in to report, “Master Wade, Inspector Li is here.”
Charlie nodded, “Let him in.”
Don Albert quickly ushered in Li Yalin, who was dressed casually. Upon seeing Charlie, Li Yalin respectfully bowed and said, “Master Wade, it’s good to see you again!”
Charlie smiled slightly and gestured to the sofa, saying, “Inspector Li, please take a seat. You’ve only been given a little over a week to spend with your family in Houston. Why are you heading to Syria so soon?”
Li Yalin let out a self-deprecatingugh and sighed, “My daughter and son-inw are preupied with looking at cars and houses every day. I hardly get to spend time with them. I don’t want to waste more time in Houston; I n to go to Syria first and meet the live porter you capturedst time to gather more details.”
Noticing a hint of loneliness in Li Yalin’s expression, Charlie nodded understandingly and said, “Inspector Li, it’s natural for people to have emotions and desires, and material desires y a significant role in life. People work hard to improve their lives, and it’s okay for young people to seek material fulfillment and enjoy life. You shouldn’t feel too concerned about it.”
“Yes…” Li Yalin sighed and nodded, acknowledging Charlie’s point, though he still felt a bit disappointed.
Charlie, wanting to change the subject, asked, “Inspector Li, have you considered where to begin your investigation into that mysterious organization? From what I gathered before, their information protection is extremely tight, and finding clues might be quite challenging.”
Li Yalin agreed, saying, “I have given this a lot of thought recently. They’ve concealed their clues incredibly well. Whether it’s the deceased soldiers or your aunt’s family, there’s barely anything left that connects to this organization. As you mentioned, those dead men have been involved with this group for years without knowing its whereabouts.”
He continued, “However, I believe we can start by narrowing it down geographically. For instance, we could first investigate which of the seven continents the deceased soldiers are stationed on and which states they are locked in, then refine our search from there.”
Charlie sighed, “It may not be that straightforward to pinpoint their location across the seven continents. After all, these soldiers have been in the shadows for so long that they haven’t uncovered any clues themselves.”
Li Yalin, however, was optimistic. “As long as the person you captured is cooperative and has a good memory, I should be able to narrow down the approximate range.”
He borated, “Master Wade, regardless of how hidden they may be, they cannot escape the impact of major geological disasters. If an earthquake happens, they will certainly feel it. For every detectable earthquake that urs globally, the relevant departments keep detailed records.”
“So, the challenge now is that they need to remember how many earthquakes they felt, but the issue is that theyck an urate timeline and external information to corroborate their memories.”
He pulled out a printed document and handed it to Charlie, saying, “Master Wade, this outlines the major natural disasters that have urred worldwide in the past 20 years, focusing on severe tsunamis, earthquakes, and typhoons. If we can match their memories to this data, each recollection could serve as a coordinate. With enough coordinates, we could potentially locate them.”
Charlie inquired tentatively, “Is it somewhat akin tomunication base station positioning?”
“Exactly!” Li Yalin confirmed enthusiastically. “That’s precisely the idea! Each identified disaster can help us narrow their possible location. If they can corrte to the Indonesian tsunami, it indicates they were within its impact area. If they can also rte to the Japanese tsunami from eleven years ago, then we can deduce they are in the ovepping regions of both tsunamis. The more clues we gather, the more precise our positioning will be.”
Charlie couldn’t help but admire Li Yalin’s ingenuity, remarking, “Inspector Li, you truly are a renowned detective in the U.S. Your approach is incredibly insightful. It seems only a matter of time before you uncover their exact whereabouts!”<fnd20c> Th?s chapter is updated by FιndＮovel</fnd20c><h3 id="chapter-list" ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">
