Li Nan walked into Xiong Sifu's office with some trepidation.
"Xiao Li, how's the investigation at the school going?" Xiong Sifu, still dressed in a crisp black uniform, sat in his office chair.
"Master, we're in a dead end again!"
Li Nan reported the recent investigation results to Xiong Yingjun.
Just as Li Nan had predicted, even though the technical department worked overtime for three days and four nights, they managed to lock down all the phone MAC addresses, identify the owners, and question them all.
Among these fourteen people, there were both men and women, all between the ages of twenty and forty.
Upon inquiry, it was found that these fourteen people had no obvious social interaction and did not know each other.
Everyone vehemently denied logging into the Blood Rose account and posting videos, stating that they had never done so.
However, after the technical department checked their phones, they found that their phones had indeed been logged into and posted videos.
Moreover, their phones did indeed contain records of receiving the videos, but these videos were deleted after being posted.
After recovering the videos, the technical staff confirmed from the phone's backend data that the videos were transmitted to each other via Bluetooth from the same phone.
The technical department could only trace the Bluetooth connection of this one phone, "Blood Rose," but could not verify anything further.
Although technology is advanced now, theories must be built on underlying basic logic.
The technical department has exhausted all its efforts, and this is the furthest they can trace the case.
Through the efforts of the technical department, it seems that the truth can be proven that the fourteen phone owners were very likely hacked by the hacker Blood Rose.
And coincidentally, the login locations of the fourteen mobile phones were the very places that ultimately led to the downfall of the Destiny Bureau a few years ago.
“That’s right, it’s the Tanhua Shopping Mall!” When Li Nan got to this point, both she and Xiong Yingjun had a look of unwilling disappointment in their eyes.
The construction site death case, all the unsolved mysteries, all point to this shopping mall that lacked surveillance.
The login location for this Blood Rose account is also here now.
All fourteen owners of the phones remembered shopping at the mall last month, but they couldn't recall having any contact with anyone acting strangely, let alone posting any other people's videos.
As a result, it seems that Xiao Wang from the technical department has lost several strands of hair on the top of his head.
It seems that the Blood Rose and Plum Blossom Academy cases are also related.
A familiar figure resurfaced in their minds: Gao Siming!
However, this time the suspect was a woman with bloodshot eyes, while the mysterious man in the construction site death case was clearly a man who was completely covered up.
Could this be a group crime?
"Have you had any contact with this old friend recently?" Xiong Yingjun became increasingly suspicious of Gao Siming. All of this was inextricably linked to him!
“Before the Chinese New Year, around the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Wen and I went to his house for a meal.”
Li Nan recalled the gathering they had before the Lunar New Year, which was to make up for their New Year's Eve promise.
At that time, the campaign to promote civility and new social customs in Tanhua City had been a success and had come to a perfect end.
Gao Zimin also made up for the turkey dinner that her best friend Qin Wen had missed before New Year's Day.
Because of this civilized behavior campaign, Gao Zimin's fruit wine factory received special praise from the city. Gao Zimin specially spent a lot of money, 2,000 yuan, to buy a farmed crocodile and prepare a "Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Bird and Fish Feast".
Thinking of this, Li Nan unconsciously swallowed. Crocodile meat tastes really good, like chicken, and it's crunchy!
"How was Gao Siming's recovery back then?" Xiong Yingjun naturally knew about Gao Siming's relapse into disability, but he wasn't quite sure about the specific extent of his recovery.
"Now I don't need a cane at home, but it's still not very safe to go out without anyone with me."
Li Nan told Xiong Sifu what he had seen with his own eyes, but he didn't know that sometimes, what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth.
Have you looked into who he's been in contact with lately?
Since the construction site death case, Gao Siming has been in the sights of the An Ding Division. However, he is still only a suspect with minor suspicion. The An Ding Division does not currently have any substantial evidence against Gao Siming.
"According to my understanding from the technical department, Gao Siming's call records and chat logs have been normal for the past six months. His contacts are limited to his sister, me, and customers who buy tea and oranges."
“We’ve gotten to know these customers before, and there’s nothing wrong with them; they’re just making normal purchases. It’s the same with his sister, Gao Zimin; she doesn’t have a big social circle, and her contacts are all fine.”
Xiong Yingjun frowned upon hearing this. "According to you, your childhood friend should be fine, so why is he involved in every case?"
Li Nan put himself in his good friend's shoes and gave an answer that even he found unbelievable: "Master, do you think it's possible that someone is deliberately trying to distract us and divert our attention to Gao Siming? Are they trying to frame Gao Siming or distract us?"
Xiong Yingjun's eyes widened, and he slammed his hand on the table, saying, "Very likely! Now you have an additional task: see if you can uncover new clues by following this line of thought!"
Xiong Sifu suddenly remembered the transnational Ponzi scheme of 2019, in which the main leaders had all fled abroad.
Is it possible that Gao Siming, as a victim at the time, is now being used as a shield by them?
