Xing Baohua was indeed having a headache. Hou Qian's situation indicated that they had activated another communication system.
Previously, satellite internet access might be temporarily blocked. Another group of people lurking in or around the rice lab should be activated.
What exactly is Hou Qian trying to do? It's still unclear. When fishing, the worst thing you can do is get impatient. You need patience, otherwise the fish will have already escaped before you even start to lift the fishing rod. What's the point of fishing then?
Xing Baohua returned to Su Ya's side and told Hou Qian what had happened.
"How could this happen!" Su Ya said with a distressed expression.
“No surprises. It looks developed over there, but there are actually quite a lot of poor people. Plus, gun control is lax, so accidents and tragedies happen everywhere,” Xing Baohua explained, without telling Su Ya much about Hou Qian.
Xing Baohua had Xie Yingying book plane tickets and rooms near the airport for Hou Qian and Sun Chenzhou. They were just waiting for them to arrive so they could meet.
Captain Han's men stationed in Luzhong have already been mobilized. The fact that Hou Qian was able to get information about Da Mei shows that there are still many loopholes.
Under full-band wireless monitoring, no information was detected, indicating that it was not a wireless communication method, and it is impossible for it to be a wired landline.
So that leaves one option: word of mouth.
Perhaps someone contacted her, or perhaps someone gave her a note or something.
This kind of thing happened when she first started working at the rice farm, but according to the surveillance footage, he didn't have much contact with people. Especially outside, the young couple lived a very routine life, going straight home after get off work.
Moreover, the two of them didn't buy groceries to cook at home, since there was a cafeteria in the lab, and they would eat there before going back.
The surveillance team is keeping a close watch; if they discover anything, they'll find out.
It's highly likely that the messenger is still inside the rice lab. While searching will be troublesome, it's not too difficult for them; they still have a chance to look.
According to the list of staff at the Rice Lab, we retrieved the most recent call records from the post office. These weren't recordings, of course, but rather phone number logs.
Those with pagers are also key targets for investigation, as are email records and traditional mail records.
There are no records for regular mail, but there are for registered mail and telegrams.
These are the only ways to find clues.
Captain Han also sent someone to sit on the same flight as Hou Qian to monitor Da Mei and her activities throughout the trip. It was hard work, but fortunately, they had helpers to assist them.
The next day, Xing Baohua received Hou Qian after she got off the train. He then called Su Ya to help pick up Hou Qian and took them to the hotel they had booked, giving them their flight information.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't book a direct flight for tomorrow due to time constraints. Also, I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't see you off."
"Thank you," Hou Qian said in a sorrowful voice.
"You're welcome. If you need anything, you can call this number. I'm at the Haina branch of DaMei and can help you." Xing Baohua said, handing Hou Qian a note with a phone number on it.
Turning to Sun Chenzhou, she said, "Take good care of her on the way. After you've finished dealing with things there, come back from the import. If it's inconvenient for her, come back as soon as possible. There's a network project that needs bidding, both hardware and software. We'll need to write the tender documents, and I hope you can take charge of the software side."
Sun Chenzhou nodded and replied, "Okay, can you tell me what kind of information? I can think about it on the way."
"It's a secret for now, because I haven't signed a confidentiality agreement yet, and I don't know much." After Xing Baohua finished speaking, he stared at Sun Chenzhou, who actually really wanted to say those two words. But he suppressed them.
Xing Baohua asked Su Ya to stay with Hou Qian while he left temporarily.
On the way, he was also thinking that if he could talk to Hou Qian alone now, he could ask her directly who gave her the information.
Will you speak?
Of course, the source of information is important, but it can ruin the entire phishing plan.
"You seem a bit unsettled?" Xie Yingying asked.
"Yeah! I probably didn't sleep well, and I have a bit of a headache. By the way, what time do we meet your uncle tomorrow?" Xing Baohua rubbed his head.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
"While you're at it, find a restaurant nearby. If the discussion goes on for a while, invite your uncle to have a meal with us," Xing Baohua instructed.
"I understand," Xie Yingying nodded in response.
Xing Baohua had just returned to the hotel when Captain Han called, asking where Xing Baohua was.
"Is the hotel where I'm staying going to send me back to the base again?" Xing Baohua asked.
"Wait a moment, I'll come find you in a bit. I'm not there, I just came from the department. There's something I need to discuss with you," Captain Han said.
"Okay," Xing Baohua replied and hung up the phone.
After waiting for Captain Han for about half an hour, the other party rushed over.
After entering, he said to Xing Baohua, "Find out some clues."
"Tell me," Xing Baohua said, inviting the other man to sit down and personally pouring him water. Unexpectedly, Captain Han didn't seem to mind the heat, nor did he speak immediately; instead, he sipped the water.
"Sorry, I haven't drunk much water all morning, and I'm thirsty now."
"It doesn't matter."
"People in central Shandong found a clue in the contents of a telegram. The contents were: if you miss home, make some Bak Kut Teh yourself."
"Wordplay? Who received it?" Xing Baohua asked, frowning.
"Luo Yiqiang".
Xing Baohua thought of this person's name and suddenly remembered something. Because the Rice Lab was mainly composed of overseas Chinese and internal university students, unlike the Software Park, it didn't accept people of any nationality.
