Chu Yunxuan promptly shut her mouth, not uttering another word, her gaze locked onto the screen despite understanding nothing of what she saw.
The reason Wu Jie was in a rush was that there was news from the kidnappers.
A video matching Lin Yuan’s physical description had been newly discovered online and was swiftly traced and located.
After issuing several commands, Wu Jie finally opened the intercepted video.
Lin Yuan appeared on the screen, motionless as if asleep, and without any visible injuries.
It seed the kidnappers were being very careful to keep her unhard before handing her over to their client.
“Eh, isn’t that Sister Lin?
Where is she?” Chu Yunxuan curiously asked.
Wu Jie said gravely, “This is a video sent by the kidnappers to their client, intercepted using specialized technical ans.
We’re currently tracking the location of the kidnappers.”
As he spoke, an electronic map appeared on a screen, dotted with multiple blinking cursors representing various communication base stations.
The map scale kept zooming in until a red circle appeared.
Wu Jie speculated that the kidnappers were originally hiding in the vast mountains not far from the Continental Line, but since the area was heavily guarded and they could not get out, they returned to the city.
They shot the video with a smartphone and sent it out once they had a signal.
They were cunning indeed: once the video was sent, they promptly switched off the phone.
Due to the hasty timing, utilizing base station positioning could only roughly determine the kidnappers’ location range, unable to continue tracking and pinpointing their exact location.
Of course.
Although the phone was switched off, the phone number, who the SIM card was registered to, the signal strength…
all these details were still exposed.
By following the clues, relevant information about Sister Tao and the client was quickly ascertained.
Even though these people were cautious, not likely using their own IDs to open various accounts, there was at least more intelligence, and more subjects for real-ti surveillance and eavesdropping.
“This place is really remote!
They actually took Sister Lin all the way here, so where will she be taken next?”
This question from Chu Yunxuan truly stumped Wu Jie.
These sly bastards had far too strong a sense of precaution.
Just sending a video, and shutting down imdiately afterward—it was lucky that the area was remote and the 4G signal was weak, which ant the internet speed wasn’t too fast, giving us enough ti to trace and locate them.
If they had access to the 5G network, the video would probably be sent in a second, followed by an imdiate shutdown, “instantaneous dispatch.”
But now the problem was…
It was confird that the kidnappers’ phone had been in contact with a communication base station of a certain town.
The phone number and signal strength were also clarified.
But damn it, the guy had turned off the phone.
In rural towns, to ensure a wide coverage area, communication base stations usually sit atop hills or even mountaintops, emitting signals with great power to cover an area of about ten kiloters in radius.
If the base station is high enough and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat, the coverage can be even greater.
Therefore, Wu Jie could only tentatively confirm that the kidnappers, with Lin Yuan in tow, were within the bounds of Anlong Town, adjacent to the southwestern frontier.
But this town spanned dozens of square kiloters, with continuous mountains and dense forests.
Wanting to find a few people there?
It was no different than looking for a needle in a haystack!
However, Wu Jie believed the mysterious client wanting Lin Yuan surely wouldn’t choose a remote, insignificant place like Anlong Town for the exchange.
It had to be at least in the provincial capital over two hundred kiloters away, at the ‘old house’ ntioned by Sister Tao.
The ‘old house’ was certainly a code na; both the kidnappers and the client undoubtedly knew where it was.
From the intercepted video, it appeared the kidnappers were in a cave or a dim room after receiving Sister Tao’s orders, the lighting insufficient, with soone holding a flashlight to fill in the light.
After recording the video, the kidnappers left their hideout and, on their way to the ‘old house’, took the opportunity of having a signal to send the video to Sister Tao, then promptly switched off the phone.
Thus,
Sister Tao must be sowhere in Jiazhou, remotely controlling the operation.
The client who ordered Lin Yuan’s kidnapping was likely already en route back to the country.
By now, the kidnappers would be in a car, hurrying to the ‘old house’ to complete the transaction.
“Er…
I don’t know yet, but the kidnappers are probably planning to take her sowhere to hand her over to the client!”
Wu Jie’s eyes remained fixed on the screen, checking the information obtained from the Skynet System.
Thanks to the national implentation of real-na registration, the phone numbers and signal accounts used by the kidnappers and Sister Tao could be quickly identified.
Perhaps they weren’t the actual users, but their past call, text, and online paynt records were quickly turned inside out.
Looking at past cases involving the Kong Family of Liuli City and the Mu Family of Tianyuan, people of wealth and influence often preferred to impersonate others to lower their own risk, but they tended to habitually use the sa person’s identity.
That is, if they used soone else’s information to register a phone number, they would certainly use the sa identity to open bank accounts, trade bonds, stocks, purchase real estate, etc.
It was too much trouble to use a different identity for every different activity—after all, using one person’s identity or many didn’t make much difference.
Besides, impersonating another’s identity was just a way to avoid potential legal risks, but their actions were invariably related to personal objectives.
Just like borrowing soone else’s phone to make a call, they still spoke about their own business.
Thus,
By importing data from more platforms and more software, it was quickly discovered what they had chatted about online, what they had purchased, where they frequently appeared, and even the addresses for food delivery and online shopping.
In the internet age, as long as data is interconnected and thoroughly scrutinized, it no longer remains secret—all is unearthed.
No matter how cautious soone is, service providers wouldn’t delete this historical data, rendering account deactivation useless.
The kidnappers could never have dread that soone would take such grand asures against them!
The Skynet is vast and misses nothing.
Blue Planet found that the kidnappers often used Signal to top up a particular phone number.
By following the clue, they found the owner information for that number, then cross-referenced it to see if they had registered any other online software accounts.
It was quickly discovered that soone had used that phone number to log in and register an account for an electronic map service.
And that account was active, navigating from Anlong Town towards Yuehai City.
Where else in the world are such coincidences found?
After tracking and locating, it beca clear that the phone and the car moving at over 60 kiloters an hour belonged to the kidnappers.
The desperately sought-after Lin Yuan was finally about to be found…
