Chapter 165

~7 min read 1,357 words

This was not a regular piece of paper for writing, but rather looked like it had been torn from the packaging of some item. Opening it, however, left everyone greatly disappointed!

There was not a single word on the paper!

"What does this mean? Could it be that some child mischievously put it in?" Peng Weibing shouted.

Long Gang glanced at him and then looked at Gu Changzheng. Peng Weibing rubbed his chin and muttered: "There's nothing, can't I even say it?"

Long Gang also prepared to persuade Gu Changzheng, meaning that he was too sad and it had already affected his judgment!

"Wait a minute!" Gu Changzheng, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly said: "There is important information left on this piece of paper! Come and see!"

Hearing this, the crowd gathered around with curiosity and suspicion. Gu Changzheng held the paper high, facing the direction where the sun rose in the east. At this time, the sunlight was not too dazzling. The crowd was attracted by his strange behavior and couldn't help but look at the paper in his hand.

"Eh?!" Peng Weibing was the first to speak: "Why are there so many small holes densely packed on the paper?"

At this time, the other few people had also discovered these strange small holes on the paper, each the size of a needle tip, arranged without any rules. Some were dotted together, and some appeared far apart in the middle...

After staring intently for a while, Luo Fei exclaimed: "Captain Gu, is this a code?"

Gu Changzheng looked at him with gratification and said: "Yes, this is important intelligence left by Master! I understand. This should be a disposable chopstick sleeve and toothpick that Master secretly left behind when the people monitoring him weren't paying attention. He used the toothpick to poke this coded letter inside the paper chopstick sleeve. Look, the spaces between the small dots aren't left empty on purpose. Look at these scratches..."

Gu Changzheng laid the paper flat in his hand, pointing to several thin horizontal lines in the blank spaces between the small holes.

"Morse code?" Luo Fei said in disbelief.

"Yes, from this, it seems that Master's disappearance from the hospital was the work of the Supreme God Sect. I don't know why they made him go to Diannan this time, but one thing is certain: Master was definitely not completely controlled by the other side. That Xiang Feng who followed him was monitoring him. Not only could he not access communication tools, but he couldn't even possess a piece of paper or a pen. So I speculate that Master must have taken the opportunity to hide the paper used to wrap the chopsticks and a toothpick while eating, and later used the toothpick to make these codes on the paper!"

"Ah!" Peng Weibing shouted: "That's a good way! Even if discovered by the people monitoring him, he could say he was just bored and poking it for fun!"

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at him in unison. No wonder he was called "Peng Donkey"; this way of thinking was truly unique!

Gu Changzheng ignored him and looked at Long Gang: "Captain Long, let's go back and study this coded letter!"

Peng Weibing said with a bored face: "Not checking anymore? It's early in the morning, and we were..." He still wanted to nag but was glared at by Long Gang.

Gu Changzheng felt a trace of disgust for this noisy Peng Weibing in his heart. "This person is truly a donkey!" he mocked in his heart.

The group got into the car, and Peng Weibing also took his men into the van he had driven over. Without even saying goodbye, they ran away in a cloud of dust. Long Gang watched the van disappear, kicking up a cloud of dust behind it, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The group arrived at the town police station 30 miles away from the village. Peng Weibing had already arrived one step ahead and was arranging for people to tidy up the only conference room in the station. Calling it a conference room, it was actually just a slightly larger office, where several desks were pushed together in the middle to form a large conference table, which was extremely simple.

The crowd didn't care about this. After sitting down, Luo Fei first sorted out their side's investigation into the Supreme God Sect, and finally concluded that they suspected the Supreme God Sect was engaged in human trafficking under the guise of promoting religion! And on a deeper level, the organization might be colluding with overseas criminal forces, suspecting that the purpose of abducting these children was for overseas human organ trafficking!

And last time, when he and Gao Ye went to Mangdang Village to bring the abducted children home, they encountered an attack by the Supreme God Sect. And this time, Lu Haoxuan, who was abducted because he was tracking the leader of the Supreme God Sect, also died in Mangdang Village, which couldn't help but make people suspect that the Supreme God Sect had a branch organization here.

And was Lu Haoxuan's murder because he knew the secret stronghold of the sect's branch in Mangdang Village? The crowd couldn't help but focus their eyes on Gu Changzheng!

Gu Changzheng coughed lightly and said: "This coded letter has many parts that are unclear, and only a few individual words can be deciphered. It doesn't play a big role yet. Director Peng, you are the public security official of Mangdang Village. Do you think there is anything strange about this village?"

Peng Weibing didn't seem to expect him to suddenly ask himself. He was stunned for a moment, then said boldly: "What's strange? It's poor mountains and bad waters, just poor. There's nothing else to say!"

Gu Changzheng frowned, speechless at his nonsense that was like saying nothing! Long Gang hurriedly spoke to smooth things over: "Old Peng, Captain Gu came from afar and is not familiar with the place. You should introduce the basic situation of Mangdang Village."

Peng Weibing suddenly realized: "Oh! This, okay!" He stood up from his seat with a "whoosh." Just when everyone thought he was about to introduce it, he waved his hand and said: "Don't look at this place as a village, it's huge. Shall I take you for a tour?"

His introduction was actually like this! The crowd was dumbfounded, but Gu Changzheng said: "That's great, then please take us to see it, Director Peng."

Seeing that they had just returned from Mangdang Village and hadn't even sat down, this funny guy actually wanted to go back again. Long Gang looked troubled. Gu Changzheng said: "Captain Long, if you have something to do, you can go and handle your business first. Little Luo and I will go and take a look with Director Peng. Maybe we can have some gains."

Seeing this, Long Gang hurriedly said: "Hey! That's fine, Captain Gu. I really have something to do at the bureau. Then why don't you go and take a look with Old Peng? He is really familiar with this area."

Gu Changzheng exchanged some more pleasantries, then took Luo Fei and Peng Weibing into his van.

The car traveled for half an hour, and the three returned to Mangdang Village. Luo Fei got out of the car first, but Gu Changzheng was not in a hurry to get out, saying: "Director Peng, can you speak directly now? There is no mobile signal in this place, so you don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping, right?"

Peng Weibing chuckled: "Captain Gu truly has fiery eyes and golden pupils. The water in Mangshi is very deep! I have to be careful."

"Director Peng, I trust you. If there is any situation, please tell me directly!" When leaving Zizhen, Gu Changzheng had talked for half the night with that Old Yin who saved Luo Fei and Gao Ye, fully understanding the true character of "Peng Donkey" in the local population's mouth. Old Yin told him that in Mangshi, he could absolutely be trusted!
