"Do you often have students come here to surf the internet?"
"How long has the internet cafe been open?"
China's Ministry of State Security personnel kept an eye on the incoming agents, watching them gather information in the Internet cafe. After they left, they went up to the owner of the Internet cafe and asked him questions.
When the boss saw the ID the other party showed him was from the police station, he thought they were checking his business for illegal operations and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"I opened this internet cafe 13 years ago, but don't worry, it's well-behaved and no minors are allowed in."
The staff of the Ministry of State Security knew that this Internet cafe was definitely not as well-behaved as the boss said, but this was not his responsibility. He was only here to investigate the information.
Ignoring the boss's apprehensive look, they asked for the information they wanted and left.
However, the problem here has been reported, and relevant personnel will come to check it out.
Secret meeting room.
"This is the result of our investigation over the past few days. We've screened over a thousand people and have now narrowed it down to these twenty."
Ma Wu pointed to the personnel information on the slide.
"These people either performed well in school or were mediocre, but they all achieved extraordinary results after entering society."
“Most of them are between 25 and 45 years old.”
He then opened another document and said, "This is the information we obtained from our investigation into the internet cafe next to Fengshi No. 1 Middle School."
"This Fengshi No. 1 High School is the best school in Fengshi and one of the best high schools in the entire province. The internet cafe next door earns most of its income from students there."
"Combined with the fact that An may have attended Yanjing University, I came to the conclusion that he must have attended this high school and was eventually admitted to Yanjing University."
"According to the paper information we obtained, Professor Deng said that the papers he sent back then were rather naive and superficial, but they were also not something an ordinary high school student could write. So, he must be a well-known figure in Fengshi No. 1 Middle School."
Ma Wu paused at this point, a hint of regret in his voice. "But among the twenty people we finally screened, only one matched the information above. That's Li Xian'an, the current chairman of Yunye Internet Company. Unfortunately, we had a brief conversation with him, and he's not the person we're looking for."
After Ma Wu's brief analysis, everyone fell into silence.
Did they go in the wrong direction? Now they are stuck in a vicious circle.
After a while, the silent conference room was filled with voices again.
Professor Deng Jin raised a question, "I've looked at the information you provided, but it doesn't seem to include An Jingzhi?"
"Yes, Academician Deng is right. We also visited Fengshi No. 1 Middle School and investigated Li Xian'an. We also inquired about An Jingzhi's information. He started high school at the age of 14. Before entering high school, he was a popular figure in the entire school. Later, he gradually became addicted to games and began to decline. He failed the college entrance examination and fell from first in the grade to seventh."
"Fengshi No. 1 Middle School is the best school in the entire city. Even though he ranked seventh in his grade, he was admitted to Yandu University. However, after entering university, he became even more addicted to games and was unable to graduate from Yandu University. In the end, he only received a certificate of completion."
Ma Wu thought about the results of his investigation and became even more reluctant to believe that this person would be the author of the paper they were looking for.
"After graduating, he even forged documents, including a diploma and degree from Yandu University, and worked at a company for over a year. He had very bad relationships with his colleagues and superiors, and then resigned and returned home. To this day, he remains unemployed in his hometown."
After hearing this, everyone in the conference room subconsciously excluded this person from the list of people they wanted to follow up.
An, who is so talented, could never be such a person.
After discussing this point, everyone was at a loss as to where to go.
The search for Ann stalled.
"Maybe our screening is too strict. Since An has appeared in the closed city, he has most likely lived around there. Let's check the population data of that year." Ma Wu said.
"This is the only solution for now." said the old man in military uniform who had been sitting there in silence.
Only Deng Jin, who was sitting at the conference table, kept frowning. He always felt that he had been overlooked somewhere.
Since establishing contact with An, he has communicated with him many times.
From the other party's somewhat eccentric writing, we can tell that he is a relatively young person, his thoughts are not mature enough, and he even has some social anxiety.
That’s right, it’s social phobia. Deng Jin, who studies artificial intelligence, will of course keep up with the times and has a good understanding of some Internet terms.
During the conversation, he could sense that the other person was not used to strangers, and he could infer that An must be a person who has lived alone for a long time, or that he did not live in an environment that required social interaction.
However, this also fits the other party's image. After all, if he hadn't spent a lot of time studying, how could he have achieved such great achievements and promoted the emergence of artificial intelligence?
One must have the kind of hard-working spirit that can endure loneliness to write that paper.
The other party is a young and eccentric scholar.
This was the impression Deng Jin had after communicating with the other party.
…
"Uncle, your stall isn't open at night anymore? Only until noon?"
Father An cheerfully answered the customer, "Yes, we are old now, and my son feels sorry for us old couple, so he will close the stall at noon after setting up the stall."
"Ah, your buns are so big and delicious. What a pity! I'll buy an extra one for lunch and save it for dinner. But it's fine this way. I see that you and your wife are not young anymore, so you should take care of your health."
"Thank you, little girl. Your uncle and aunt are still able to work. Here, consider this extra bun a gift from uncle to you as a thank you for always taking care of my business. Don't forget to eat even if you work hard. Health is the capital of revolution, and there is always work to be done."
The little girl is a regular customer of the breakfast shop. She is a white-collar worker who works nearby. Sometimes she can't order takeout or doesn't want to eat takeout, so she will come to his house to buy two buns for lunch or dinner.
"Thank you, sir." The girl had a bad morning at work, and the grievance of being scolded by her boss was immediately healed a lot.
After the old couple finished selling their lunch buns, they followed the self-propelled breakfast cart home.
The dining car has been modified by An Jingzhi and can move automatically, just by remote control.
This also saves the old couple the trouble of pushing the cart.
"This thing is really useful. You can even set a route for it. After inputting the route between our home and the breakfast place, it can go home and set up its stall every day. If you want it to take a different route, you can control it with the remote control."
"Didn't Jingzhi say that? The project he was researching is making progress, and these are all by-products. Our son is really capable. When we pass by the vegetable market later, we can take back the spare ribs that the Zhang family left for us and make soup for our son." Mother An happily planned dinner.
