On the ind, Gordon and Colby had been strategizing for half the day in Gordon''s vi.
Colby said icily, "I''m going back now."
Gordon frowned, "What''s the use of going back when you don''t even know where Sophie is?"
The two were at an impasse when Adler burst through the door, eximing, "She''s alive! She''s alive!"
Gordon and Colby immediately turned to Adler. Colby stood up quickly from his chair, asking, "What do you mean?" "Check the news! Haven''t you seen the news? Sophie posted an update on her social media!"
Adler ced his phone in front of them.
The butler at Gordon''s side quickly searched for relevant posts and showed them to Gordon, saying, "Sir, take a look."
The post read, "All is well. Gunshots were just for show. I had a fever and got caught in the rain. My temperature hit 104°F, and I was out cold, so I couldn''t check my phone. Thanks for all the concern. I''m not dead! Still kicking!"
There was also a selfie of Sophie. Even though it was a selfie, the dining table and the decor in the background were vaguely visible.
Gordon immediately realized, "It''s a cruise ship."
"The point is, she''s not dead. She''s still alive," Adler said. "This must be Sophie''s message to us!"
"No, that''s not right." Colby frowned deeply.
Odie had kidnapped Sophie. How could Odie possibly let her post updates on social media?
This post had to be something Sophie convinced Odie to let her make. It couldn''t just be this one message!
"Colby, what did you notice?"
"It''s the location." Colby regained hisposure, grabbing Adler''s arm. "The location!"Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
"Location?"
Colby exined, "Social media tforms usually have location permissions. I need to know where this photo was taken right now!" "Right!" Adler pped his forehead. "How could I forget about that? The location! Laptop! Get me aptop!"
Gordon pushed hisptop towards Adler. "Use mine."
As time ticked by and dawn was about to break, Adler finally found the location. He hurriedly said, "It''s this sea area. Based on their route, they should be heading back to Devonport!"
Colby and Gordon checked the sea area on theputer''s map, which clearly showed the phone''s location after Sophie posted the update.
"Sophie is really clever. She turned
on the permission for the
background location. The location of
this phone could be tracked all the
time. It looks like they will arrive in Devonport in two days!"
Colby said, "Buy ne tickets immediately. We''ll ambush at the Devonport docks!"
Gordon told his butler, "Get return tickets now."
"Yes."
Just as Adler er breathed a sigh of relief and was about to close theptop, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a line of small print
beneath Sophie''s update. A
made a curious noise and then said, "This phone..."
Fearing they might miss some detail, Colby asked with a frown, "What about it?"
"The model of this phone..."
Nobody had noticed until now, but beneath Sophie''s post, the model of the phone was also disyed.
"Od P..."
Adler stuttered out these letters.
What was this? They had never heard of this phone model before.
