Chapter 387 Another case
As the sky grew dark, Seti and Heiji stood in front of Jack's house, preparing to conduct a preliminary investigation. In the night, the two figures looked particularly determined, and their eyes revealed their persistent pursuit of the truth.
Seti gently opened the door, and a stale smell hit his face. He looked around. The furnishings in the house were simple, but there was a warm atmosphere. He walked to the center of the living room and carefully looked at everything around him, trying to find some clues.
"Heiji, look here." Seti pointed to the unfinished cup of coffee on the coffee table and said, "This cup of coffee is still hot, which means Mr. Jack has not been missing for a long time."
Heiji nodded, walked to the coffee cup, and sniffed it gently. He frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Judging from the taste of the coffee, it should be instant coffee." Heiji analyzed. "This kind of coffee usually doesn't take too long to brew. Maybe Mr. Jack went out in a hurry after receiving the mysterious phone call."
Seti nodded in agreement, walked to Jack's study, opened the door and walked in. There are various books and documents placed in the study room, which looks very messy. He carefully looked through every book and document, trying to find some clues related to Jack's disappearance.
"There doesn't seem to be anything special found here." Seti said with some disappointment. "These books and documents are all about detective novels. It seems that Mr. Jack is a detective fan."
Heiji walked to Seti, picked up a detective novel and flipped through it. He suddenly found a note in the folder of one of the books with a series of numbers written on it.
"What does this number mean?" Heiji asked, pointing to the number on the note.
Seti took the note and looked at the numbers on it carefully. He frowned, thought for a while and then said: "This may be a phone number or a password."
The two looked at each other and decided to try calling the phone number first. However, what came from the other end of the phone was a "number does not exist" tone.
"It seems that this phone number is fake." Heiji said disappointedly, "We have to start from other aspects."
Seti nodded, walked to the window, looked at the dark night outside, and fell into deep thought. He knew that it would not be easy to find Jack's whereabouts, but they could not give up any possible clue.
"We have to go back to Ms. Mary to see if we can get more information from her." Seti said, "At the same time, we also have to investigate the source of the mysterious phone call."
Heiji nodded in agreement, and when the two were about to leave the study, they suddenly found a laptop on the desk. They smiled at each other and decided to check the computer to see if they could find some useful information.
However, when they turned on the computer, they found that the computer had already been set with a password. The pair tried several possible passwords without success.
"It seems that this computer has also been protected." Heiji said helplessly, "We have to find other ways to crack the password."
"Leave it to me." Mingyi's voice came from outside the door, and she walked in, holding a small laptop in her hand.
"Narui, you're here." Seti and Heiji said at the same time, with expressions of joy on their faces.
Mingyi nodded, walked to the computer, sat down, and started trying to crack the password. She first tried some common password combinations without success. Then she tried some more complex algorithms and tools, but the computer still didn't respond.
"The password on this computer is very complicated." Mingyi frowned and said, "I need some time to crack it."
Seti and Heiji looked at each other and nodded. They know that cracking the password requires time and patience, and what they lack most now is time. But they also understand that only by finding more clues can they find Jack's whereabouts faster.
"Narui, focus on cracking the code." Seti said, "Heiji and I will investigate the source of that mysterious phone call."
Mingyi nodded and continued to concentrate on cracking the code. Seti and Heiji walked out of the study and began to investigate the source of the mysterious phone call. They first came to Jack's phone and carefully checked the phone's call records. However, they did not find any suspicious phone numbers.
"This call seems to be coming from an unknown number." Heiji said, "We need to find the source of this unknown number."
Seti nodded, and they decided to go to the telecommunications company to inquire about the details of the unknown number. At the telecommunications company, it took them a long time to find out where the unknown number belonged. However, when they arrived at the place of origin, they found that the number had been canceled.
"It seems that this mysterious phone call was intentional." Seti said in a deep voice, "The other party deliberately concealed his identity and location."
Heiji nodded, understanding that this meant their investigation would become more difficult. But they did not give up, but decided to look for more clues from other aspects.
Over the next few days, Seti and Heiji conducted an in-depth investigation of Jack's family, friends, and colleagues. They asked about Jack's recent whereabouts and interactions with others, trying to find some clues. However, they found nothing suspicious.
At the same time, Blake and N also began to participate in the case. As the owners of the detective agency, they would naturally not let this case go.
"This case seems to be much more complicated than we thought," Heiji said. "We seem to have reached an impasse."
Seti nodded, he understood what Heiji meant. They have investigated all possible leads but have found nothing useful. This leaves them frustrated and confused.
However, they did not give up. They know that only by persisting will they be able to find the truth. So, they decided to return to Jack's house again and reorganize all the clues and evidence. They believe that as long as they are careful and patient enough, they will be able to find a breakthrough.
Over the next few days, Seti and Heiji returned to Jack's house again. They carefully examined every corner and object in the house, trying to find some clues that they had overlooked before. At the same time, they continued to keep in touch with Mingyi and asked her about the progress of cracking the computer password.
However, several days passed and they still found no useful clues. This leaves them feeling even more frustrated and confused. They began to wonder if they had missed any important clues or evidence.
At this moment, Mingyi suddenly received good news.
