Chapter 663 paw→pawn
New Mexico, at 2:30 in the afternoon, on Highway 134, in an ambulance.
“Do you know about Mateo’s two secret bases?”
Hearing the information from Wilfrido, Luo An was slightly surprised:
“Didn’t Matteo notice it?”
“How could I let him find out.”
Wilfrido showed a somewhat cunning smile and said that not only Mateo, but also the secret bases of many people in this industry, he had used various methods to obtain the specific addresses.
The reason why he has not taken action before is because nothing worthy of his action has appeared yet.
At the same time, these specific addresses are also preparations Wilfrido left for himself, even for retirement.
Once you run out of money, you can go to those secret bases to buy goods. In Wilfrido's eyes, those treasure hunters are just security guards who keep the treasures for themselves.
Looking at Wilfrido with a sinister smile on his face, Luo An was very moved.
“That’s right.”
While on vacation some time ago, Lacey met a girl who liked chess, so she bought a chess game and started learning. When the investigation team took a lunch break at work, she even asked Luo An to play with her.
After getting familiar with the rules, Luo An won 10 games in a row, so Lacey stopped playing with him.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Luo An drove to the city. Winslow and Michelle arrived one step ahead of him, and had already found Chenelle's mobile phone under Mona's guidance.
Luo An knew the rules of Eastern chess but not the rules of international chess, so he lost 3 games in a row at the beginning.
“pawn, meaning hostage.”
The place Chenelle and Lacey went to before was also in New Mexico. The city was called Lavington, which was in the easternmost part of the state.
“No! It’s “soldier”, which is the word “soldier” in chess!”
Hold the phone and press the button, adding an "n" after "paw", Luo An said:
“It’s a few letters: paw.”
It’s not that I feel sorry for Wilfrido’s plan, but I feel that for so long, every person I met has more brains than the last one, and there are endless methods, and no one is simple-minded.
Winslow looked at it, frowned and said:
“Chenelle left us a clue.”
In the car, Winslow handed Chenille’s cell phone to Luo An and said solemnly:
“Because these three letters are incomplete, and one is missing.”
Winslow was a little confused:
"Why do you say that?"
As soon as Winslow finished speaking, Michelle in the back seat of the car clapped her hands and suddenly realized:
Seeing these letters, Luo An's mind flashed and he shook his head and said:
“This was not left by Chenelle, but by Lacey.”
Wilfrido was very angry because he was treated as a fool and took the blame for the other party.
The ambulance took Wilfrido to the hospital again, and Luo An drove the car in the direction of the location left by Cheniel's mobile phone.
Not only did he tell Luo An the specific locations of Mateo's two secret bases, but he also provided a location that was suspected to be the opponent's secret base, as well as several of his spare weapons arsenals, asking Luo An to capture Mateo.
Winslow was suddenly stunned when he heard Michelle's explanation, then frowned and said:
“The word Lacey left behind means that the military took her and Chenelle away?”
Luo An nodded:
“High probability.”
Michelle suddenly remembered something, looked left and right but couldn’t find anyone, and asked:
“Luo An, where is the woman from the military? Where has she gone?”
“She was sleeping in the trunk.”
Luo An answered casually, without further discussion on the matter. He took out his mobile phone and called Mona:
“Mona, have you found any clues there?”
"not yet."
Mona on the other end of the phone frowned and said:
“At the time when Chenelle and Lacey disappeared, all the surveillance in that area was cleared, and I couldn’t find it at all.”
“Do you want me to enter the military system…”
"No."
Luo An's eyelids twitched and he quickly interrupted Mona's thoughts. The military is definitely a special existence in the Federation. It is self-contained and even the president cannot get involved.
Hundreds of billions of military expenditures are spent every year. Who will investigate the specific situation and who will be shot in the back and commit suicide?
In this case, there is no need to invade the military system to investigate clues.
Luo An pondered for a moment and asked:
“Mona, in Lavington City, apart from the area where we are now, the surveillance has been cleared, has the surveillance in other areas been cleared?”
“There are also, such as your east direction.”
After typing a few times on the keyboard, Mona quickly replied:
"If you connect the cleared areas into line segments, you can determine that those people left Lavington City from your east side."
“East side…”
Luo An frowned slightly, waved his hand towards Winslow and said:
“Give me a map of New Mexico.”
“OK.”
Every time they go to other states in the federation to do a mission, everyone in the investigation team habitually buys a few maps just in case.
Winslow quickly found a map and handed it to Luo An. Luo An looked at the city on it and suddenly asked:
“Mona, check the surveillance in the city of Naravita and see if any surveillance has been erased.”
“OK.”
Mona immediately agreed to come down and start the investigation. Winslow asked with some confusion:
“Why Naravitta?”
“Because this city is the only way to get to Mateo’s first secret base.”
Luo An briefly introduced the clues he got from Wilfrido not long ago.
Matteo’s two secret bases are not inside a certain city, but are located on two certain farms.
From the city of Lavington where the three of Luo An are currently located, to go to those two farms, they must pass through several cities.
As long as you find out whether there are surveillance clearing incidents in those cities, you can deduce the opponent's route and goals.
Not long after, Mona’s voice rang on the phone again:
“Luoan, the city of Naravita does not monitor disappearances.”
"continue."
Luo An then named several other cities. After waiting for a moment, Mona's excited voice suddenly sounded on the phone:
“Luo An, I found it!”
Winslow and Michelle instantly looked up and refreshed, and Luo An quickly asked:
"What city?"
“It’s the northernmost “Capilin City” in New Mexico!”
Luo An pulled the map again, looked at it carefully for a few seconds, grinned, and said:
“That’s the direction to Mateo’s second secret base. It’s certain that the people who kidnapped Lacey and Chenelle are the military, and they are also looking for nuclear warheads.”
Winslow and Michelle were very happy to get clues about the other party's whereabouts, but there was still a question they didn't understand. Michelle said doubtfully:
“Why did the military kidnap Chenelle and Lacey?
Aren’t we also the ones who received the order to find nuclear warheads? "
“Maybe it’s because we’re also looking for nuclear warheads.”
Roan returned the map to Winslow, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a sneer:
“There are too many dirty things in the federal army.”
It cost US$6 million to fly 9 sheep, but in the end the sheep were not found because they were eaten.
There are countless "little things" like this in the federal army. With such a large nuclear warhead, it's unclear who is behind the game.
“Mona, call, help call a helicopter.”
Start the SUV, press the accelerator to the bottom, and drive the car onto the road. Luo An said as he drove:
“We set off directly to Mateo’s Secret Base No. 2, where we will wait for Chenelle and Lacey.”
