"Li Xiang" only said about twenty words on the phone, but for the task force, it was a huge gain.
First of all, this phone call revealed that the person who had been acting as the middleman between the two groups was "Lord Five," who had already been registered with the Ministry of Public Security.
Another point was that even though "Li Xiang" switched to a new SIM card that didn't have his real name registered, regardless of whether he made a call or received a call, he still had to go through the base station.
Based on the time of the call and the time of the call, the task force easily confirmed the number that "Li Xiang" had dialed through the mobile company's computer room. They also locked onto the location in the western part of Jinwan, which was about two kilometers in diameter.
They also monitored the number twenty-four hours a day. Once the number was in a call state, they could use the AGPS algorithm to further narrow down the range.
However, the number that also didn't have its real name registered was turned off after the call. The task force suspected that the number was the same as the one "Li Xiang" had used before. They were both one-time use and discarded immediately after use.
In order to make it easier to contact, the person who received the call would immediately change to another number after discarding a number.
"Motherf * cker, so f * cking rich. A phone number thrown away after one use!" After coming to this conclusion, Jia Chengliang couldn't help but curse.
Qu Sen looked at the numbers that "Li Xiang" and the person who answered the call had used. They both started with 136, ended with 4327, and 4312. The numbers in between were exactly the same.
He pondered for a moment and said, "The numbers they used were probably bought at the same place and then split up to use.
Can you think of a way to find out where these numbers were sold? Buying so many SIM cards at once, the person who sold the numbers should have some impression. "
Gao Sheng pointed at Qu Sen, then turned his head and said to Zhu Ye, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and go find out where these numbers were sold! "
"Yes!" Zhu Ye answered, then turned his head and ran off in a hurry.
"Captain, Wu Entai just received a message from the forum," the technical investigation team leader reported after avoiding Zhu Ye who ran out.
"What's the content?" Gao Sheng asked.
"We only informed Wu Entai that we've arrived at the next house. We didn't mention anything about the meeting," the leader of the technical investigation team reported.
"It's about time for our great Detective Bao to show his abilities," Gao Sheng said after a few seconds of consideration.

Wu Entai turned on his computer every day for the past two days, and the first thing he did was check his email. At night, when he turned off the computer before going to bed, he would check it again.
Three days had passed, but there was still no email from Bao Liang. He didn't seem to be in a hurry either.
In his opinion, even if the police were to investigate "LiXiang", it would not be easy. At the end of the day, Bao Liang was just a private investigator. It would be strange if he could figure it out without much effort.
However, Detective Bao's' ability 'was indeed worthy of the 100,000 USD commission. Before the fourth day after the commission was sent out, Wu Entai received an email with the subject "LiXiang" in his mailbox.
Wu Entai opened the email without hesitation. The first thing he saw was a long-distance photo of a young man. The caption below the photo read, "Li Xiang. Fake identity. Plastic surgery. Unable to find out his real identity. "
After a simple introduction, there was a long-distance photo of Zhou Chongyu. The caption was, "Old Zhou." Hong Kong. Unknown identity. Knows chemistry.
Below the two photos and the caption were the car with the Ming Shan license plate that "Li Xiang" and Zhou Chongyu drove. There were also two room numbers of the Kapok International Hotel.
Wu Entai smiled with satisfaction when he saw this. When he saw that there was more content, he scrolled down the page with his mouse.
Below the photo was a car with the Ming Shan license plate, and there were also photos of three men.
The caption was very simple: "Li Xiang's three Henchman's are staying at the Yumei Express Hotel in the south of the city. One of them carries a short weapon with him. The model is unknown. "
After scrolling to the top of the email again and reading all the content carefully, Wu Entai closed the email, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to think for a long time. About ten minutes later, he opened the BBS website that he always hung out with. After clicking on the "Wind and Cloud" section, he began to edit a post …
The private message that Wu Entai sent through the post was only one sentence. It was translated as, "The sample has arrived. We can inspect the goods at any time."
Two days later, an official car from the Huasheng Corporation met a car with the Ming Shan license plate on a road without much traffic in the north of Huacheng City.
After the two cars passed each other on the road, the car with the Ming Shan license plate began to slow down. The official car of the Huasheng Corporation accelerated and turned around at the intersection ahead before quickly catching up.
After passing through three intersections, the two cars each occupied a lane and drove side by side. They slowed down at the same time.
When the window of the front passenger seat of the official car slowly rolled down, the left rear window of the car with the Ming Shan license plate also began to roll down at the same time. Then, a box the size of a jewelry box was thrown out from the front passenger seat of the official car and happened to fall into the open rear window of the car.
Then, the windows of the two cars rolled up at the same time. When they passed through the next intersection, the car with the Ming Shan license plate turned right while the official car continued to drive straight …
About an hour later, Wu Entai found out from the replies of "scolding" with him on the forum that the sample had been successfully delivered. At about the same time, the car with the Ming Shan license plate drove into the alley one street away from the Huasheng Express Hotel.
Li Xiang saw his subordinate's car drive over from the rearview mirror. He casually rolled down the window of the driver's seat and reached out his hand to wave. Soon, the car driven by his subordinate stopped behind Li Xiang's car.
Then, Henchman drove out from the front passenger seat. He jogged a few steps, opened the front passenger door of Li Xiang's car, and sat inside.
"Brother Li, I brought it back." As Henchman spoke, he handed the jewelry box to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang took the box and opened it to take a look. Then, he closed the lid and asked, "You didn't get bitten by anyone, right?"
"No." Henchman shook his head and said, "We went around in a big circle. I'm sure there's no problem."
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Keep an eye on your two subordinates. Don't cause any trouble at this time."
"Brother Li, don't worry. I'm staying in the same room as them now. I'll keep an eye on them 24/7. I'll definitely keep an eye on them. "Henchman said solemnly.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Tell your two subordinates to stay put and don't cause any trouble when they're outside. They'll be rewarded when they get back. "
"Understood!"
"Call Ming Zai and ask him to bring an honest dog over to try the goods."
"Okay, I'll tell him when I get back." Henchman nodded.
"There's nothing else. Go." Li Xiang waved his hand.
Henchman quickly opened the door and got out of the car. He ran back to his car in a few steps. Soon, the two cars with Ming Shan license plates that were parked on the side of the road started at the same time and returned to their temporary hotels.

In the network monitoring room of the task force, the main screen was showing the scene in the living room of "Old Man Zhou's" suite.
On the screen, Li Xiang put the jewelry box that he brought back on the coffee table in the living room. Zhou Chongyu took the box in front of him, opened the lid, and took out a small glass tube. He shook it gently in front of his eyes.
In the network monitoring room, Qu Sen was doing the same thing. He was holding the sample of Azrael that the Provincial Department had brought back from abroad. It looked exactly the same as the one Zhou Chongyu was holding in the screen.
To be honest, Azrael's appearance and packaging had greatly subverted Qu Sen's understanding of drugs. In his impression, the drugs that he saw, regardless of whether it was "powder" or "pills," were basically all packed into plastic self-sealing bags. If there was a large amount, it would be put into a big bag.
Especially white powder, it looked no different from a small bag of noodles. Of course, it could also be a prop in movies or TV series that used flour.
But that was not the main point. The main point was that Azrael's packaging was too exquisite. Dozens of light blue transparent small particles were individually sealed in a glass tube that was four centimeters long and five millimeters in diameter.
When the glass tube was looked at vertically, it looked like a small test tube without scales. The workmanship was very clear and round. It could be described as exquisite.
Along with the sample was a preliminary test report. There were more than ten pages of chemical analysis of Azrael. Qu Sen could not understand it at all. However, he could still understand the introduction of the packaging.
After reading the introduction, Qu Sen finally understood what Wu Entai meant by high-end user strategy.
Azrael's value aside, the glass tube that contained Azrael was made of high-purity silicone glass. The cost of using silicone gel to seal it was very high. The glass tube was also filled with inert gas to make the composition of Azrael more stable.
When the customer used it, as long as the silicone gel seal was removed and the bottom of the silicone glass test tube was baked with an open flame, the Azrael would slowly evaporate.
The user would roast it twice and take a puff. Roast it twice and smoke it again until the Azrael had evaporated completely.
"The price of this small tube is seven times the weight of high-purity heroin. If it's Ecstasy, you can buy a lot of it," Jia Chengliang whispered as he sat beside Qu Sen.
"No wonder Wu Entai is so rich. This is definitely a money tree," Qu Sen exclaimed.
"It's a unique business. When a person smokes this, they can get a stronger and lasting high than other drugs. However, once you take it too many times, you won't be able to get enough from other drugs. "
As Jia Chengliang spoke, he took the Azrael from Qu Sen's hand. He held it in his hand and shook it gently. He watched the small particles roll around inside.
On the surveillance screen, Zhou Chongyu had already opened a tube of Azrael. He gently poured the particles inside onto a piece of tissue paper. He carefully picked up a particle and placed it in his palm. He observed it carefully with a magnifying glass.
After looking at it for a while, he shook his head and said, "I can't tell the composition from the outside. We need an electron microscope and a Doppler spectrometer. As for the specific effects, we'll have to look at the drug test. "
"Elder Zhou, do you think we should take this deal?" Li Xiang asked humbly.
"From the information we've collected, this is a very powerful neuro-stimulant. It lasts for a long time after taking it, and the side effects and adverse reactions are relatively small.
However, the mechanism of action is very overbearing. Once a person becomes dependent on it, their neurological reactions to other drugs will be greatly weakened.
It's more expensive and is targeted at high-end consumers. If the supply channels are not smooth and we can't find a substitute in time, I'm afraid it'll cause us a lot of trouble. "
After Zhou Chongyu finished speaking, Li Xiang fell into silence. There were different levels of drug addicts. Drug dealers did not care about the bottom-level drug addicts who were known as "dogs". If they had stock, they would sell it. If they ran out of stock, they would stop selling it. As for whether they would die after they ran out of stock, no one cared.
However, the high-end consumers of Azrael were different.
