Chapter 192

however, that person does not show up today and is still hidden, I’m not going to reveal myself so easily. Winnie began to tap furiously on the phone screen before the video call ended.The duration of each tap was different, with every note representing a different signal.It is the communication method known as Morse code.Soon, Winnie relayed the most succinct question to the private investigator in the shortest time.The private investigator regained his composure and gave her a definitive answer.Upon understanding the situation, Winnie abruptly ended the video call.Seeing that Winnie had hung up, Josiah asked in his usual volume, “Were you communicating with the private investigator via Morse code? I was interested in it when I was in school and have dabbled in it. Although I didn’t understand the question you sent, I understood the private investigator’s answer.

Instead, she hung up.The pair promptly arrived at the little wooden house with a minute of the time allocated by Yolanda to spare.“What do we do now?” Josiah asked Winnie quietly. “Do we barge in? Why don’t I go instead? It’ll spare your exposure.”“To her, we’re in this together. Your exposure would mean mine too. I’ll go around the back. There must be windows there.”Josiah was puzzled. “Why are you looking for windows? Are we going to ambush her?”Josiah meant it as a joke, but Winnie nodded solemnly.“You are beginning to know me
