Chapter 29
Wu Tong laughed uncontrollably, while Xiao Yuncheng stood speechless. Shi Qian's jokes were over, and he straightened his face and said to Xiao Yuncheng, "I spotted a suspicious refrigerated truck leaving Qingfeng Reservoir. I can't see the driver's face clearly."
"We've already captured the images and sent them for high-definition processing. The rest isn't particularly suspicious."
Xiao Yuncheng followed him to the computer playing the surveillance video. Shi Qian pointed at the footage and said, "The fire in the greenhouse was clearly intentional, but it was certainly remotely controlled, which makes it difficult for us to locate Xu Ze."
Xiao Yuncheng frowned and said, "Continue to track this car. Mark the route. Tell me when you have any news."
Wu Tong stood behind them, listening. Suddenly, he turned to look at the evidence bag on Shi Qian's desk. Inside was a blue tea plant. Wu Tong pointed at the evidence bag and said to Shi Qian, "Can you show me this?"
"Sure, but you have to wear gloves first, Tongtong."
Wu Tong made an OK gesture, put on the gloves on the desk and picked up the bag. He was already unconscious when he was brought into the Tumi Greenhouse. He only woke up once in the middle of the process, and that was because of stomach pain.
Wu Tong observed the blue tea flower carefully. He felt that the color was very familiar, but he couldn't remember the color number at once.
After Xiao Yuncheng finished chatting with Shi Qian, he walked towards Wu Tong again: "What's wrong?"
Wu Tong shook his head and put the Tumi back to its original place. He always felt that there must be something hidden inside this Tumi, but he couldn't figure out what it was now.
After returning to the office, Xiao Yuncheng asked Wu Tong to take a nap first. He was going out to ask Lin Chen for clues, and then he hurried out.
Wu Tong closed his eyes, his mind filled with the blue tea flowers that filled the greenhouse. To be honest, they were the most beautiful flowers he had ever seen. He still remembered that when he woke up, Xu Ze was worried about his stomach cancer, just like the Xu Ze who always protected him when he was a child. But unfortunately, everything has changed now.
This also reminded him of the blue tea flower he had painted at Xiao Yuncheng's house before. He had carefully mixed that color, and he thought it was the most beautiful color.
etc······
Wu Tong suddenly sat up. He remembered that the color number was: #87CEEB.
Xu Ze loves playing hide-and-seek, even the clues are... Wu Tong just realized that Xu Ze hid the dimension of Chen Xiuping's base in the color number of Tu Mi, as if it were... a clue prepared for him.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a new number in his address book: "Hello, Shi Qian?"
Shi Qian didn't expect that he would receive a call from Wu Tong so soon after adding her number. He responded in a trance, "What's up, Tongtong?"
Wu Tong: “······” How can someone be so coquettish?
Wu Tong was speechless for a moment, then said, "The color code of this blue tea flower corresponds to the dimension of one of Chen Xiuping's bases. Try to check it out. I suspect it's Xu Ze's next destination."
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Wu Tong opened the memo on his phone and started calculating: If #87CEEB really refers to dimension, the result of the disassembly process will not work.
Wu Tong was thinking about what he had missed, and suddenly remembered how he had mixed this color in the first place.
This color was mixed by him when he was 18 years old. He used five drops of cobalt blue, three drops of ultramarine and one drop of titanium white to mix this blue. If calculated according to the color mixing ratio, it would be 53.1°!
But with only this one value, he couldn't even determine the directions of east, south, west, and north. This was a bit tricky. Did he have to search in every direction? This was obviously unrealistic.
Just as he was thinking, Xiao Yuncheng came back after finishing his work. When he opened the door, he saw Wu Tong frowning and thinking about something in the chair. Hearing the sound, Wu Tong raised his head and smiled at him.
"Didn't I tell you to have a good rest? What are you thinking about?" Xiao Yuncheng walked towards him and put his hand on Wu Tong's head and rubbed it.
Wu Tong said, "I suspect that the blue tea plant left by Xu Ze hinted at the dimension of my next destination, but I can't figure it out now.
Xiao Yuncheng grabbed the notebook beside the table, opened it and motioned him to write on the paper, and they pushed together.
Wu Tong took the pen and wrote down his reasoning and the unknown latitude. Xiao Yuncheng pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he looked up and looked at Wu Tong: "Do you think there is a possibility that in elementary school, we all assumed that the direction is north. If that is the case, then could this be 53.1° north latitude?"
Wu Tong widened his eyes and agreed with his reasoning. That made sense!
Xiao Yuncheng frowned and said, "You still have time to play this kind of game? You're really afraid that you won't die."
Wu Tong: "He is like this, very thoughtful and clever. He planned this so that I could play with him."
Xiao Yuncheng showed a look of disgust. Just as he was about to call Shi Qian to ask him to check the coordinates, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Tongtong, is there a loophole in this latitude?"
"What loophole?"
Xiao Yuncheng turned serious. "If I remember correctly, 53.1° north latitude is an ocean, right?"
Wu Tong was stunned. Indeed, he didn't react at all, which meant that there was still information they hadn't released.
But what else could this number represent? Wu Tong couldn't figure it out.
The scene in front of him was suddenly replaced by a forest - that was a week before he and Xu Ze escaped. That day, Xu Ze asked himself what he wanted to do after getting out.
Little Wu Tong suddenly took out a small tube from his pocket, put it in Xu Ze's hand, and raised a sweet smile: "I want to be a painter!"
I want to use bright colors in painting to fill the holes in our hearts and cover up our dark childhood.
"I figured it out!" Wu Tong suddenly grabbed Xiao Yuncheng's sleeve, but the other party just nodded at him, motioning him to continue.
"I mixed this blue when I was 18. I used three pigments, one of which was a white pigment called 'titanium white'. That was the first tube of paint I gave him when he was 6 years old."
Xiao Yuncheng was a little surprised: "He is still involved in these memories? Then this is..."
This is the childhood code that Xu Ze designed for Wu Tong.
Wu Tong did not reply to Xiao Yuncheng. He wrote the color number of titanium white on a piece of paper, marked the numbers of the other two colors, added an equal sign, and wrote 135.2° east longitude at the end.
"Why 135.2° East longitude?" Xiao Yuncheng asked in confusion.
Wu Tong raised his head, resting his palm on his chin. "The titanium white number alone isn't enough. It reminded me that the correct RGB value should be #87CEEB, which means 135.2° east longitude."
"You're amazing, little painter." Xiao Yuncheng praised him without any reservation.
After praising Wu Tong, Xiao Yuncheng immediately said, "Then it will work. I'll call Shi Qian now and ask him to check."
After saying that, Xiao Yuncheng went to make a phone call, leaving Wu Tong sitting on the chair to continue thinking. He didn't know what Xu Ze's intention was. He could have secretly gone to find Chen Xiuping and killed him, and nothing would have happened. Why did he give him a hint and let him decipher his actions?
Wu Tong pinched his brows, feeling that things were getting a little tricky.
"Come on, Tongtong, let's go directly to the Technical Investigation Office."
In the technical investigation office, Shi Qian asked his colleagues to locate the object, and then he turned to Xiao Yuncheng and asked, "How did you find this?"
Xiao Yuncheng raised his chin and pointed at Wu Tong who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "Tongtong came up with this idea, and Xu Ze deliberately designed it for him."
Shi Qian sighed twice and said, "I've never seen such a playful criminal in my entire life."
"Isn't it?" Xiao Yuncheng also sighed.
"Captain, we've located the abandoned lighthouse along the coast."
"Call someone immediately to investigate this location!"
Police cars drove out of the police station one by one with sirens blaring. Xiao Yuncheng pulled the handbrake and caught Wu Tong's body as it lunged forward uncontrollably. He pushed him back and said softly, "Hold on tight."
"vomit--"
Shi Qian couldn't help himself and almost vomited in Xiao Yuncheng's car, but Xiao Yuncheng coldly warned him: "Don't vomit in my car."
Shi Qian: “······” Your expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book.
At this time, Wu Tong turned to the back seat and handed a bottle of sour plum soup to Shi Qian and another policeman, saying, "Drink this, it can relieve some of the motion sickness symptoms."
Shi Qian and another policeman immediately turned on their "dog-leg" mode: "Wow, Tongtong, you are so nice~"
“That’s right!”
Wu Tong: "It's okay, it's okay."
Xiao Yuncheng: "You guys can lick it, Wu Tong is mine anyway."
Shi Qian: "Ah, yes, yes, yours~~~~"
Police: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Shi Qian: "Ah, don't you know? Wu Tong is Captain Xiao's girlfriend."
police:"!"
Wu Tong just watched them making noise quietly, and the whole car of people arrived at their destination in such a noisy manner.
At the coast of Tenghai, the setting sun hits the coast. The sun is stuck on the coastline and is reluctant to set, casting warm colors on the trembling waves, and the entire sea is surging with heat waves.
On one side of the coast, there is a lighthouse, but it seems to have been abandoned for a long time.
When all the police arrived, Xiao Yuncheng turned around and said sternly, "According to the previously agreed plan, take action immediately!"
"yes!"
The police moved extremely quickly. Even though the lighthouse was a thousand meters away, they arrived within three minutes. Xiao Yuncheng kicked open the door of the lighthouse and slowly walked in.
There was no one inside, and the room was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Xiao Yuncheng asked them to turn on the flashlights, and the room immediately became bright, and then everyone was stunned.
The walls of the lighthouse were covered with paint, vaguely outlining a human figure, but not the face. For a moment, it was impossible to recognize who it was. Xiao Yuncheng squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and always felt that this person was somewhat familiar.
Everyone was looking for clues. Xiao Yuncheng investigated outside and indeed found Xu Ze's footprints and fingerprints.
"Captain Xiao, we found some graffiti on that wall."
Xiao Yuncheng followed the trace detection personnel into the lighthouse. After seeing the words clearly, Xiao Yuncheng was stunned.
It says: The blue you paint is like rain on your eyelashes, I stole a drop and dyed it for the rest of my life.
Xiao Yuncheng finally realized who the painting was of.
That was Wu Tong.
