"Alright, let me state my opinion first. Right now, we can only be basically certain that Tian Liqun sent the activation signal through the newspaper. If Tian Liqun does not take any unusual actions by tomorrow morning, then we can be sure that Tian Liqun sent the signal through the Minsheng Daily."
I will now make some assumptions based on the known conditions.
Finding out how Tian Liqun sent the activation signal has already pointed us in the right direction.
First of all, you should know that although a lot of people enter Er Ma Lane every day, very few of them are able to read the Minsheng Daily every day!
The general public in our country has a low level of literacy; most citizens are illiterate and can only write their own names. Not many people can read books and newspapers, which implicitly eliminates suspicion about the majority of them.
Secondly, since we assume that the person who contacted him lives nearby, he certainly wouldn't disguise himself to go to Er Ma Lane. He would inevitably run into his neighbors, and if these acquaintances noticed that he had suddenly changed his clothes, it would arouse their suspicion and backfire. Therefore, he will definitely go to Er Ma Lane in his natural clothes tomorrow to take the intelligence without anyone noticing.
Thirdly, this person at the top must have a certain economic foundation and social status. The best way for this person to detect Tian Liqun's activation signals in a timely manner is to subscribe to a people's livelihood newspaper every day. This amount of money is a considerable expense for an ordinary person, but it is completely affordable for a middle-class person with a certain economic capacity.
If the person above this person is hiding their identity as a coachman or a bricklayer, their daily newspaper subscriptions will immediately attract attention.
So I've come up with a picture of someone in my mind who is not only cultured and financially secure, but whose identity allows him to subscribe to a local newspaper without anyone questioning it. I'm leaning towards government or corporate employees, or teachers, and I'm sure he'll reveal his true colors tomorrow.
So tomorrow, we can use these criteria to sort out and filter pedestrians entering Er Ma Alley.
First, we deployed local patrol officers familiar with the local population to monitor the two entrances and exits of Er Ma Lane. They kept a close watch from a distance, noting down anyone dressed smartly in a long gown or suit, appearing to be educated, and who was a local resident.
Everyone needs to be identified by the patrol officers to confirm their identity. This will quickly filter out most of the pedestrians. Then, we can investigate how many of them subscribe to the local newspaper daily. By comparing these two groups, we can eliminate another group, leaving only a small number! Once we've narrowed down the pool, our target will be very close!
Ning Zhiheng's words instantly brightened everyone's previously gloomy hearts. His words were well-founded and logical, drawing a broad road from a simple newspaper to the other side. After listening to Ning Zhiheng's analysis, everyone felt that the goal was right in front of them, within reach.
"Excellent! Zhiheng, your analysis is brilliant! What seemed like a complete mystery, with no way to start, has become almost flawless after your analysis!" Xiang Yan felt that Ning Zhiheng was more than capable of taking over from him and Zhao Ziliang right now, not even needing to wait for the future. Such a clear mind was invaluable to the entire...
The Action Department is the first to do this!
"Yes, Zhiheng, now that you mention it, we might be able to find this mysterious supplier tomorrow. You've really cleared up the fog. What seemed so distant is actually right here!" Shao Wenguang exclaimed.
Shao Wenguang is an expert in reconnaissance and tracking, but his judgment and analysis are not his strong points. This is one of the reasons why he has not been promoted. He is capable in action and can complete tasks well by following orders, but he lacks decision-making ability and cannot be a good commander!
