Chapter 142: Thick Fog



Qin Shi helped Huang Pin see Wen Hui's true face, and Huang Pin also told him the whole story. After all this time, these things were not Wen Hui's ultimate goal.

"Huang Pin, as an Internet police officer, I'm formally inviting you. Since you've already been coerced, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself for your crimes. Go back undercover, calm those people down, and try to help us solve the case!"

"Me? Can I?"

"Of course, now that you've surrendered yourself, as long as you don't make any serious mistakes, I promise you'll be fine!"

"Okay, I'll go back now. It's already late. If I don't go back, I'm afraid I'll be suspected."

Huang Pin accepted Li Mubai's invitation and returned to his hiding place with a new phone card.

"Team Leader Qin, is this Huang Pin reliable?"

"Officer Li, you can rest assured about this. He was deceived before. I believe he has his own principles!"

"That's great, Team Leader Qin, thank you. I didn't expect that this time I would be able to solve the case thanks to you. Otherwise, this case might really be hanging in the balance!"

"Don't say that. It was just a coincidence. But you, on the other hand, have already thought of Taobao's software, which is already impressive. But what do you think the second step is?"

"I can't say for sure. Since they've separated the first and second steps, they must have already thought through the police's actions. The second step is their most crucial one, but this most crucial one doesn't require local personnel and can be done remotely. What exactly is the connection between these two steps?"

Not only Qin Shi couldn't figure it out, even the battle-hardened Li Mubai was stuck in a stalemate. By the fifth day, half of the so-called ten-day agreement had passed, but there was still no progress.

"Li Mubai, you are an Internet police officer. This is something you should be responsible for. It's been five days and there has been no movement at all. I'm really ashamed for you!" Wanli felt sorry for his money and stood in the hall scolding Li Mubai and Ma Tianming next to him.

"And you, ah, I don't care if you have money, but if you have the guts, say it again, isn't it 10 billion? You said that you, Mr. Ma, will pay for this 10 billion!"

Ma Tianming originally took over as the team leader because of his connections. In fact, it would have been the same for anyone. But who would have thought that he would encounter this incident just after becoming the team leader and before he could show off his power.

"Leader Wanli, please don't be like me. Doesn't this case require a thorough analysis?"

"Analysis is bullshit! I'm telling you, it's been confirmed that this money came from your Taobao account. I'm being lenient by not arresting you right now."

"Leader Wanli, I've already notified the board of directors. All technical staff are working on this matter now. A new patch will be mandatory soon. We also have a backup plan for this kind of situation. A self-checking virus system will also be added to the program. We won't lose a penny from Taobao anytime soon!"

"That sounds nice, but I'm begging you on behalf of the people. Hurry up! Everyone's wallets can't take it anymore!"

It's already the fifth day, and people are still reporting to the police. Every day, someone's money is being transferred away for no reason. The money that has been transferred here is immediately turned into hundreds of fund flows and distributed to other accounts. After several turnovers, the money is directly lost through various channels.

The problem is that we still don’t understand what the enemy is going to do in the second step. Even if we know the principle of the first step, it is difficult to stop it. Alerting the enemy is secondary. Once foreign forces are alerted, things will become even more difficult.

Wan Li was still lecturing when Qin Shi called him back.

"Wanli, we've already contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As long as the case can be solved by then, we'll be authorized to temporarily break out and arrest them. Please follow up with the troops!"

"Boss, you can rest assured about the troops. The last operation was perfect. If anything happens next time, we can just send out drones and robots. That way, we'll save a lot of casualties!"

"I know, but we still have to keep a close eye on them. We should notify the police station there in advance, but don't tell them your target, so as not to alert them!"

"Boss, don't worry. I understand all this. Now it all depends on whether Li Mubai can solve the case before the deadline!"

Now, apart from some clues given by Huang Pin, Li Mubai has no clues to follow up. He really can't guess what the other party is going to do.

Li Mubai sat in the lobby of the hotel, staring blankly at the people passing by, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

On the sixth day of the case, everyone was anxious. Even Congress came to inquire in person. Local leaders and provincial leaders also came to question the matter, but everything was stuck and still had not been resolved.

Wanli contacted his work and stayed with Li Mubai in the hotel lobby when he had nothing to do. He would also find time to scold Ma Tianming, which made Ma Tianming so angry that he almost resigned. But now it was useless even if he resigned, as Bao could not get rid of his relationship with him.

Because of a loophole in its own software, which gave the other party an opportunity to take advantage, Taobao now dares not even fart. Ma Tianming has to come to the hotel every day, waiting to be scolded by Wanli.

Wanli was strolling in the hall with Li Mubai. Li Mubai was looking for inspiration, but Wanli was just strolling around. Ma Tianming, who was scolded on time, also walked in.

"Leader Wanli, Officer Li, good news! Our technicians have worked overnight these past few days to come up with a backup plan. Once this software is installed, it will form a chain with my family's Taobao accounts, and no one will be able to steal money through Taobao anymore!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, our technicians are not fools, but for the sake of the people of the country, we need to ask the government to promote our software after it is released so that people can install it as soon as possible."

"It's so troublesome, can't we just pretend?"

"It's like this. Software has many versions with different functions. Some people don't update for a long time, so for the safety of everyone's property, it's useful to force it."

"Okay, I'll discuss this with Team Leader Qin. If it really works, we won't be afraid of the other party having any second moves!"

"Whether there's a second step or not, we won't be afraid anymore!"

Wanli's words echoed in Li Mubai's mind. Looking at Wanli's departing back, Li Mubai was thoughtful and followed him unconsciously.

He followed him all the way upstairs. Wanli was reporting to Qin Shi, but Li Mubai was right behind him, looking for some clues.

"Wanli, are you going to use the power of the country to encourage everyone to install something similar to antivirus software?"

"Yes, that's what Ma Tianming meant! Although it's a bit troublesome for the common people, at least it disrupts the enemy's second step plan!"

"Disrupted? It was Taobao's fault in the first place. They've corrected it themselves and asked us to promote it. It's a good idea, but I still feel like something's wrong."

"Team Leader Qin also thinks it's wrong!"

Qin Shi and Li Mubai looked at each other and felt the same meaning from each other.

Things seem a little too simple...
