Chapter 242

As for the blue dot on the map located in the Northern Region.

This was indeed unexpected by Ning Chen.

And now it seems that this blue dot must be the tracker placed within the sum of money given to Zai Zi.

Therefore, it is highly probable that the person named Zai Zi was captured by the other party, interrogated, and tortured, and the money on his person was naturally stripped away.

And the person who stripped away that money was the one named Basong in the warehouse.

And precisely because of this, Ning Chen was able to locate Basong, indirectly saving Hao Ze Yan, Yang Xue, and the others.

Everything.

There were both meticulously designed plans and expectations, as well as twists of fate filled with accidental factors—and, to a large extent, an element of gambling.

But just like the intersection in mathematics.

The intersection of multiple low-probability events forms inevitability.

In all the operations.

Ning Chen had only one uncontrollable mistake.

This uncontrollable mistake was not due to a blind spot in his thinking, but because, at that time, an uncontrollable factor occurred.

That was the stack of money.

He did not find that stack of money on Basong and the other four people in the warehouse.

Instead, when he was preparing to go outside to search Basong's three black sedans not far away.

He suddenly heard the sound of a vehicle approaching.

The sound of the car came from not far away.

He had no way to linger on the spot anymore and could only leave.

Now.

The RV is speeding forward.

On the computer, those two blue dots are emitting a dim glow.

He is no longer paying attention to the blue dot in the Northern Region.

His attention is now entirely on the blue dot in the far south.

That thin invisible tracker has a battery life of sixty days; within a range of 60 meters, it can link in real time via Bluetooth function, and beyond that range, it will directly locate via GPS navigation.

This blue dot.

The direction it points to is the Golden Triangle, within the sphere of influence of a faction named the Bay Family.

And within the Bay Family, there is a team called the Enforcers.

They designed the trap that led to the shooting of Si Shiya at the Donghai Grand Hotel two and a half years ago.

It is said they did this for a system called the Blood Oath.

Merely to avenge an anti-narcotics police officer from sixteen years ago, they intended to wipe out that police officer's entire family.

Ning Chen's face showed no expression.

Now he already knows the other party's location.

And the other party knows nothing.

So he is not in a hurry.

What he cares about now is the two reward fragments he obtained from checking in at the Night Elf Rime Forest previously.

The title "Releaser" has still not been obtained.

He also does not know the method to obtain this title.

Therefore, the next new check-in content cannot be unlocked either.

Now, he has time to ponder the contents of those two reward fragments.

Those two strange strings of numbers.

【Clue Fragment One: 3004; 11920】

【Clue Fragment Two: 30*20*19*169】

The RV heads south all the way.

Brother Shiguang's livestream has not been activated either.

Ten hours later, the RV arrived in Jingcheng.

Ning Chen found a hotel and checked in.

After taking a good shower.

He lay on the bed.

He copied those two strings of numbers onto a piece of paper.

Then he leaned half-reclined against the headboard, looking at that piece of paper.

In the second clue fragment, those four groups of numbers are connected by asterisks.

The use of such asterisks generally indicates the "multiplication sign" in mathematics.

Looking at it this way, if there were only the first three numbers, namely 30, 20, and 19.

Perhaps it could be understood as representing the volume formula of a rectangular cuboid.

Then, this could be understood as a rectangular cuboid box.

But why is there still a 169 at the end?

Multiplying four numbers, is there only one possibility, which is that one of the numbers represents the quantity of these rectangular cuboids?

But even so, what does all this mean?

And the first clue fragment is completely baffling.

3004, 11920.

Contact information can be ruled out, as can flight numbers or license plates; 3004 could possibly be a room number, but that would be nothing more than an unfounded blind guess, especially since 11920 follows it.

Therefore, a logical connection must be established between these two sets of numbers; otherwise, it is mere wild speculation.

Ning Chen closed his eyes slightly.

After a while, he thought of a method.

He opened the computer.

He entered the search engine.

He input "3004, 11920" from the first clue fragment into it and searched.

This method has one advantage.

That is keyword plus fuzzy search.

Many, many pages of related content will appear.

And this can provide people with more directions for thought.

Quickly, a huge pile of results appeared.

Wuhuaba Sect, everything was there.

And among those arranged at the very front, one caught Ning Chen's attention.

It was a news release about tourism in Su City.

Among them were the geographical coordinates of Su City:

31 degrees 19 minutes north latitude, 120 degrees 37 minutes east longitude.

Looking at this string of coordinate numbers.

Ning Chen's gaze gradually brightened.

In the clue fragment, the numbers "3004, 11920" bore a resemblance to the geographical coordinates of Su City.

It was just that they were strung together.

If they were separated according to the structure of latitude and longitude...

30 is thirty degrees.

04 is zero four minutes.

119 is one hundred nineteen degrees.

20 is twenty minutes.

Connect them.

It becomes thirty degrees zero four minutes, one hundred nineteen degrees twenty minutes.

Assuming this is within the Eastern Kingdom in the Northern Hemisphere, then adding the latitude and longitude designations, it becomes thirty degrees zero four minutes north latitude, one hundred nineteen degrees twenty minutes east longitude.
