Chapter 44: Sense of crisis
She stared at the numbers' combination for a few long moments, imagining Beijing's subway map in her mind.
2-5-10-19...
Huojin eagerly awaited her response, making her scoff. "You figured it out didn't you?"
"Eventually, yes and all thanks to Wu Yue."
She looked back at Mingshen. "And you?"
"Do these numbers mean anything related to the human body?"
"No."
"Then no."
She pointed at the numbers and said after some thoughtful pause, "Wu Yue was found unconscious at Jishuitan. The man, most probably Wang Lei, hit her and fled away immediately which means Jishuitan was the meeting point, so these numbers should point to Jishuitan."
She opened Beijing's subway map on her tab and zoomed in. The image opened was a wide network of differently colored lines interconnecting the entire city. There were different symbols highlighted along the lines and at intervals, signifying if a particular point was an ordinary station, a terminal station, a transfer station, a railway station or a station to the airport.
"This is Beijing's subway system with a total of 23 lines. Each line has their own stations as denoted by the small white circle with thin black border. Some symbols are those of two arrows pointing circularly to each other. Those are transfer stations to change platforms from one line to another. And Jishuitan is a transfer station falling on lines 2 and 19," she pointed at Jishuitan station on the map denoted by the two circular arrows.
