    Chapter 55: The Eye Exercise Sound in the Call, Narrowing Down the Scope of the Suspect!

    Upon hearing this, Su Ming’s expression grew increasingly serious. His assessment of the danger posed by this organization rose several notches.

    Because, for a drug trafficking organization to require all core members to remain free of drug addiction is an utterly unfathomable demand.

    Yet, it also further confirmed…

    The strictness, caution, and absolute control this drug organization has over its core members.

    Moreover, the fact that they were able to kidnap an entire family within a day and had weapons that were strictly prohibited made the terror of this organization even more apparent.

    However, the story from the Skinny Dog wasn’t finished yet.

    He took another deep drag of his cigarette, deeply lost in his memories. He hadn’t even let the smoke fill his lungs before continuing.

    “Seeing that his family had been tied up, Tei San went crazy. He kept struggling and cursing…”

    “He shouted that if there was anything, it should be directed at him, and what was the point of taking his family?”

    “Tei San originally thought that by doing this, he could make the person let his family go.”

    “But he never expected…”

    “The person didn’t respond to Tei San. Instead, he simply crouched down, took a small syringe out of his pocket or sleeve…”

    “He first inserted it into Tei San’s mother’s arm and gently injected the liquid inside.”

    “Three minutes.”

    “Just three minutes, Tei San saw his mother stop breathing right before his eyes.”

    “He went crazy. Tei San completely lost it!!!”

    “He kept struggling and cursing, but that person left only one sentence, forcing Tei San to work for him.”

    “I remember clearly that Tei San told me through tears at the time.”

    “That sentence was…”

    “Ten kilograms of heroin will be hidden in a coffin and sent to his house tomorrow. If he doesn’t help sell it, then the day after tomorrow, there won’t just be one coffin at his home, but three!”

    “Haha, truly impressive.”

    “They killed Tei San’s mother and still wanted him to help sell drugs. What kind of confidence must they have to pull this off?”

    “If Tei San hadn’t been mentally broken, how could he have told me about this?”

    “After all…”

    “We both knew very well that when working for this kind of organization, you have to forget about it.”

    “Even if you’re arrested, you can’t reveal a thing.”

    “Otherwise, you would watch your family die in front of you while you’re stuck in prison.”

    At this point, Skinny Dog looked at Su Ming and Xu Changsheng through the smoke, his voice hoarse as he said:

    “Officers.”

    “Do you know what the most terrifying thing is?”

    “It’s not being locked up by the police, it’s being targeted by these people.”

    “Once you’re targeted by them, even before you die, you might have to endure unimaginable torture!!!”

    After hearing Skinny Dog’s story, both Su Ming and Xu Changsheng fell silent.

    A few seconds later, Xu Changsheng frowned deeply and asked seriously.

    “Skinny Dog.”

    “You say this is an organization? But from your description earlier, I can’t confirm…”

    “That this is a large organization?”

    “Moreover.”

    “A criminal organization this big, and it has managed to stay hidden for so long, it’s really too strange.”

    Skinny Dog extinguished his cigarette and shook his head, explaining.

    “Officer, I can guarantee this is absolutely a large organization.”

    “Because.”

    “I had completely forgotten about Tei San’s case, but two months ago, a sudden call made me realize that I was also being targeted.”

    “On the phone.”

    “The person told me to act as a second-tier drug dealer in Magic City, following orders from above. With Tei San’s experience in mind, I didn’t dare refuse.”

    “So, I agreed.”

    “On the third day.”

    “A voice, modified by a voice changer, told me to pick up two hundred grams of high-purity heroin.”

    “The first call instructing me to be a lackey didn’t use a voice changer, but the second call giving me the instructions did.”

    “I feel like this definitely isn’t one person. Otherwise, why use a voice changer?”

    “Also.”

    “According to what Tei San told me, when that person made his move, it was ten kilograms to deal with. Why, when it comes to me… is it only two hundred grams?”

    “I don’t think it’s the same person. Their methods are completely different.”

    “Although you officers might not be able to solve the case or find clues, I’ve been around society long enough to know how to read the signs.”

    “A person can’t change so drastically. They wouldn’t suddenly shrink in courage like this.”

    Upon hearing this, Su Ming, who had been sitting next to him with his eyes half-closed, his hands lightly rubbing together, suddenly thought of a possibility. He spoke in a low voice.

    “This organization is probably larger than we imagined.”

    “At the same time, I think…”

    “The person in Magic City might not have shrunk in courage…”

    “It’s more likely that they’ve just joined this massive drug trafficking organization and haven’t been assigned a large share. They’re still in their probationary period.”

    “The mastermind behind this organization still isn’t sure whether this person in Magic City has the same guts as those members from the organization in Gusu.”

    “Otherwise.”

    “In a city as large as Magic City, with several times more drug dealers than in Gusu, it wouldn’t make sense for them to only drop two hundred grams of high-purity heroin for a first transaction.”

    “Since they are still in their probationary period.”

    “They’re likely being cautious and fearful, hence the use of a voice changer to disguise their voice.”

    “In other words.”

    “This organization is just starting to take control of the drug market in Magic City.”

    “This deduction.”

    “Actually, it can be drawn from two points.”

    “First, Skinny Dog, as a well-known addict in Magic City, was only targeted two months ago and turned into a lackey, which roughly confirms this possibility.”

    “As for the second point…”

    At this point, Su Ming looked at Xu Changsheng beside him and asked seriously.

    “Brother Sheng.”

    “In the past ten years, have we found any heroin with purity far exceeding the normal level within our jurisdiction in Magic City?”

    “The drugs sold by this organization have a purity of at least ninety-five percent or more.”

    “In ten years.”

    “No matter how much they hide it, there’s always a chance that the dealers would be caught with it.”

    “No, absolutely not.” Xu Changsheng immediately shook his head, responding decisively to Su Ming’s speculation.

    “In the past ten years.”

    “We’ve never found drugs with ninety-five percent purity on any drug dealer.”

    “Drugs with this high a purity.”

    “Only customs and airports would have them!”

    Upon receiving this answer, Su Ming nodded thoughtfully and then made a serious suggestion.

    “Brother Sheng.”

    “I suggest we temporarily set aside the organization and focus on solving this rooftop fall case to find the killer, then follow the clues to uncover all the rotten roots. This is the best approach.”

    “Because compared to the others, this newly joined ‘novice’ is probably the easiest to crack.”

    Xu Changsheng nodded in agreement.

    He immediately looked at Skinny Dog, who had been staring blankly at the interrogation table, and tapped the surface to bring him back to attention.

    “Skinny Dog.”

    “Now, think carefully.”

    “During your contact with the person above, was there anything that struck you as particularly strange or memorable?”

    Skinny Dog, now fully alert, didn’t dare hesitate. He now regarded Su Ming and Xu Changsheng as his only hope for saving his daughter, and he gritted his teeth, thinking hard.

    After several tens of seconds, Skinny Dog suddenly seemed to have remembered something. His eyes widened, and he said excitedly.

    “Eye exercises!”

    “Yes, it was the eye exercises!!!”

    “Once… during one of the calls he made, I actually heard the sound of eye exercises!!!”
