"No, I don't know which city Tu Hai Town is in. Don't you have the public security system? Go and check it yourself!"
Following Gong Shu Kangcheng's hint, we searched online but couldn't find such a town at the coordinates. I thought Gong Shu Kangcheng was still fooling us, but after questioning him several times, he gave the same answer.
At that time, Gao Mingqiang became angry again and wanted to hit him. If I hadn't stopped him from leaving the interrogation room, Gong Shu Kangcheng would have suffered.
Outside, I pressed him against the wall: "Mingqiang, calm down. I know you're anxious. Your sister is still among the guilty ones, but it's precisely at this time that you need to be more rational, understand? Theoretically, you might need to recuse yourself from this case, but I didn't do that, do you know why? Because I know if you really recused yourself, you would want to die, because Gao Meng is your sister!"
"He Sheng, what do you want me to do now? If Bai Mao knows I'm a traitor, then Gao Meng will definitely..."
"I understand. I've also been undercover before and almost got killed several times. Gao Meng seems very smart, she should be able to handle it. Let's go find He Xin first and investigate this Tu Hai Town!"
"Do you believe what Gong Shu Kangcheng said earlier?"
"Otherwise? Is this person very cunning?"
"That's right. I've interacted with him before. He always seemed honest and ignorant, only knowing how to drive. But I don't think this person is as gentle and honest as you think. He's a very insidious person. If you think his performance just now was a compromise, you're completely wrong. That expression is exactly the reaction of someone still hiding something."
Gao Mingqiang had interacted with this person and probably understood him well. But now that the other party was unwilling to reveal more, we couldn't force it out for the moment. Gao Mingqiang didn't go with me to find He Xin but asked Xia Hou to continue interrogating Gong Shu Kangcheng. However, I reminded him not to be so impulsive again, otherwise, no one could help him. Gao Mingqiang patted my shoulder: "Don't worry, if I really take off this police uniform, how can I help my sister!"
I went to the Information Technology Department and asked He Xin to quickly investigate Tu Hai Town. She quickly typed, but there was no trace of it in the system. The system we used was not a search engine like Baidu, but software for querying internal public security data. If even that couldn't find it, then it was likely truly gone.
I was thinking, there were only two possibilities now: one, Gong Shu Kangcheng was still lying, or two, the Tu Hai Town mentioned by Bai Mao was just a homophone. And there was a final possibility: Bai Mao was also misleading Gong Shu Kangcheng.
If Gao Mingqiang had not seen Bai Mao's appearance with his own eyes, he might be able to describe it now. He said that person's eyes, and even his hair, only revealed a little at the time, making him difficult to identify. They only knew his height was around 1.75 meters and his weight was about 50 kilograms. However, Bai Mao was probably not a high-ranking member of the Guilty Ones. That person was likely just a minor leader, similar in nature to Polaris.
I considered the possibility of collusion between the two organizations, but Gao Mingqiang had mentioned earlier that they were conducting some kind of crime competition. These criminals really had water in their heads, or were kicked by a donkey, their minds filled with all sorts of perverse thoughts.
He Xin couldn't solve it, so I went to my apprentice, Dao Zhi Yong. That guy was a bit smarter and started trying to deduce the location of Tu Hai Town by spelling it out. He started with several homophones, but the places he deduced were all far from us. We weren't considering faraway places for now, but rather dealing with the immediate vicinity. This day, I noticed a girl beside Dao Zhi Yong. Her name was Su Ya Xin, and she was a graduate of the Document Examination department at Guangming City Police Academy. Unlike Dao Zhi Yong's inherited method of document examination, her method was more inclined towards modern science. This difference was like that between a forensic doctor and an ancient coroner.
She was extremely well-proportioned, always wearing loose police uniforms and a charming ponytail. Her eyebrows seemed to have been trimmed, very delicate. On her beautiful face, which was like a work of art, a smile rarely appeared. Compared to Xie Chu Chu, she seemed even colder.
However, she was incredibly serious when working. In her free time, she liked to practice by imitating other people's handwriting. Dao Zhi Yong had stopped doing this recently and was always looking for cases to investigate. I knew this guy was influenced by me.
"Master, the place I've found that is closest to Tu Hai Town is this Tu Hai Town. It's a hidden tourist attraction in our Guangming City."
"Uh, another tourist attraction!"
"Haha, don't worry, no one knows about that place. It's abandoned now, probably a dilapidated village. Not many people are there. If I were Bai Mao, I'd probably hide in a place like this. I think Gong Sun might have heard Tu Hai Town, and he himself didn't know the exact two characters, as there are too many homophones in Chinese."
"It's possible, but we'll have to investigate to be sure. Regardless, you've been a great help."
"Uh, Team Leader He, don't include me. I didn't do anything just now!"
Su Ya Xin, hearing me say "you," immediately and a little embarrassed, retorted.
"Ahaha, is that how you talk to your leader? Alright, you two can come along this time. Colleagues from the Document Examination department, Su Ya Xin, I remember you were a captain there before, right?"
"Uh, that was a while ago. Neither Zhi Yong nor I want to do that anymore. After all, document examination is what we love most."
"Okay, let's go according to our interests!"
Twenty minutes later, we were already in a private car heading to Tu Hai Town. This time, besides me and the Document Examination department, there were Liu Yu Ning, Xia Xiao Ling, Xia Hou, and of course, the great master Xiao Yuan De.
Gao Mingqiang was still interrogating Gong Sun Kangcheng. For some reason, this guy seemed a bit stubborn.
But as long as he was rational, we wouldn't stop him.
We passed through some rugged mountain roads before reaching this extremely remote Tu Hai Town. Seeing the uneven earth pits, we realized why this place was called Tu Hai Town. It was truly covered in mud everywhere, and such extremely rugged mud pits that our car almost tipped over. At this moment, I couldn't help but remind Xiao Yuan De, who was driving: "Yuan De, be careful. The tires could blow out here! Watch it! Don't act recklessly!"
