Chapter: 5023

Leaf sighed: "It's probably not that simple to determine their location on the seventh continent... After all, these dead soldiers have been hiding for so many years without leaving behind any clues, even they themselves don't know where they are located..."

Li Ailin spoke confidently: "As long as you've caught one of the live witnesses and combined it with a high level of cooperation and good memory retention, I may be able to determine their approximate location together with them."

As he spoke, he pulled out a printed file from his bag and handed it to Leaf, saying: "Leaf, this is my compilation over the past two days - major natural disasters that have occurred worldwide in the past twenty years. The most severe are hurricanes, earthquakes, and typhoons. If we can match their memories with ours, each of their memories will become a coordinate point. As long as we have enough coordinates, it will help me find their approximate location."

"Leaf hesitated and asked: 'Is it like determining the location of a communications base station?'"

"'That's right!' Li Ailin nodded heavily and said: 'It means just that! With each major disaster, we can narrow down their range to some extent. If we can match up the Indonesian tsunami, then it will prove that they are located within the coverage area of the Indonesian tsunami. And if we can also match up the Japanese tsunami in 2011, then their location will be within the overlapping part of the two tsunao's coverage areas. The more clues we find, the more precise our location will be.'"

"Leaf couldn't help but praise: 'Li Chief is indeed a renowned Chinese chief detective, and he can come up with such methods. It looks like it won't take long for you to uncover their specific whereabouts!'"

Leaf had once felt that finding the specific location of those 547 dead soldiers was as difficult as climbing Mount Tai.

The reason was that the secret organization controlling them kept their surroundings extremely tight, preventing them from sensing accurate time, nor feeling the light, temperature, sound, and seasonal changes outside.

So, even 547 didn't know where they were living, whether it was in a tropical or temperate zone.

Not even the only live witness could provide any practical clues. It was even more impossible for outsiders to find their location.

But Li Ailin had accurately found that secret organization's uncontrollable clue.

Earthquakes, typhoons, and hurricanes are all massive natural phenomena. Even if a powerful shield can isolate a typhoon or hurricane, it would be impossible to separate out the strong seismic sensations brought by an earthquake.

Those imprisoned in the dark or underground construction might not sense the sunlight and starlight, nor feel the true sounds and temperatures outside. However, when an earthquake strikes, regardless of how deep they are buried underground or in a cave, they will definitely sense it.

Moreover, severe earthquakes do not occur frequently. If one has occurred before, it's possible to determine its approximate time based on the clues. As long as the clues match up relatively well, it's likely to correspond to the actual situation.

However, Li Ailin wasn't overly optimistic. With a serious expression, he said to Ye Chen: "Ye Shouye, that live witness is currently the only clue related to that secret organization. If I can successfully find their base, there might be a chance to find clues about the secret organization behind them. But if I fail to find their base or find it too late, it's likely that the clue will be completely cut off."

Ye Chen nodded, saying: "I think they're unlikely to retreat. Think about it, why would they spend so much effort hiding this base and even go to great lengths to block these dead soldiers' senses? It's because selecting, building, and maintaining such a base requires a lot of time and resources, making it impossible to replace easily."

Li Ailin nodded: "If that's the case, then it's best. The base where the dead soldiers are stationed is definitely being closely guarded by the core members of this organization. As long as I can find this base, I'll be able to follow the trail and uncover the secret organization's underlying structure."

As he spoke, he looked up at Ye Chen and asked: "Ye Shouye, based on my many years of police experience, I've concluded an eternal principle that is: contact is always mutual."

Ye Chen replied indifferently: "Li Daoying can explain further."

Li Ailin said: "After watching so many crime dramas, people tend to feel like the police are always able to find their targets without them noticing and then capture them. But those are mostly low-level criminals."

"There are a significant portion of high IQ offenders whose senses are very sensitive. Even before we've locked down their identity, they might have already sensed our presence. By the time we try to dig deeper for clues, the target has likely disappeared."

"You're saying that this organization has extremely strong capabilities. Once I really start dealing with them, they might have already sensed me."

"Besides, it's not like we're catching common criminals. Even in normal situations, the worst outcome would be for the criminal to run away or not get caught. But this mysterious organization is so powerful that even you are stronger than them. If we contact them, the situation could easily get out of control and we might even expose ourselves to them."

Li Ailin's expression became grave as he said: "Ye Shao, I'm telling you these things not because I'm afraid of death or backing down. After all, my life is yours to save. My wife, children, and old folks are only able to live today thanks to you. Even if I die, it won't matter. But I just hope you can prepare well in advance, on the one hand protecting yourself, and on the other hand, please try to protect my family as much as possible."

Ye Chen fell silent for a moment before speaking seriously: "Li Dachen, what you need to do now is to work with Five Four Seven together, using your professional skills, the natural disaster data in your hands, and Five Four Seven's memories, to locate the target without any contact. If it's really necessary to make contact, I'll take care of it personally and won't ask you to take risks." JrNovels.com
