Chapter 099 Wanted Criminal Simulator
A few hours later, Yu Ke and He Xia, who had been waiting for the unexpected guest for a long time, began to walk around the Security Bureau in confusion. They walked around and around and accidentally glanced at the mobile phone placed at the front desk.
Yu Ke asked casually: "Whose is this? I have never seen it before."
She has a good memory. Although she doesn't remember all the mobile phones used by her colleagues, she has more or less some impressions of them.
The on-duty personnel were also puzzled: "Oh, this, a kind person found it this morning and brought it to me. It's been almost a whole morning, and the owner hasn't called us yet."
"You said no one contacted you all morning?" Yu Ke's voice suddenly became serious.
In the past, she would not care, but today the situation was special. Yu Ke overreacted to the slightest disturbance. She even scared away several pigeons that were eating bread during breakfast because she suspected that Ji Xu had supernatural powers and could send messages by carrier pigeons.
He Xia looked at her as if she were a psycho.
Yu Ke wanted to open her phone but was blocked by the password. She had no choice but to contact her colleagues to help her unlock it. He Xia, who was startled by her raised voice, came over. He looked at the notebook on the table and read, "Xia Zhuming? What kind of name is that? And how can you be sure that the person coming is Ji Xu's?"
Yu Ke seemed to be thinking: "I was not sure at first, but I am sure after you said it."
She apologized to her colleague from the technical department, hung up the phone, and said, "Have you ever heard of 'Zhu Ming Ji Xu, Huang Jiao Wang Chen'? I guess he got his pseudonym from there. I probably know his phone password, too."
He Xia was shocked: "What? He actually has three accomplices!"
"..." Yu Ke said, "Please, go back and read more books. This is a poem about a temple, probably a poem about a sacrificial ceremony held in the summer."
It's so painful to have a stupid teammate. It's so painful.
Is it really impossible to surrender to the enemy?
She turned around and asked, "What date is the beginning of summer this year... May 5th? I see."
She entered 0505 as the password on her phone and successfully unlocked it. Before her idiotic teammates asked questions, she said as if it was normal: "Zhu Ming means summer. This poem also describes summer. He also used the surname Xia as his pseudonym. Oh, I don't need to explain it anymore, right?"
He Xia thought for a moment: "Did anything happen this summer?"
"He just found a poem related to his name... Wait, I remember now," Yu Ke said, "You are right, a big event did happen."
The assassination that led to Ji Xu being wanted happened in the summer three months ago.
A senior executive of the Security Bureau was found dead in the room. When the search team entered, they found the body sitting quietly on a chair with his head lowered. On the open windowsill next to him lay a branch that had been broken into a crescent shape, as if it had been casually picked up from the roadside. The broken branch was still green.
The window screen was rolled outside, the evening breeze was blowing, and the computer in front of him was the only source of light. The murderer was kind enough to turn the screen on all the time, and on it was an email that had not yet been sent.
The deceased Security Bureau executive wrote to the unknown person with a sarcastic tone: "I plan to take action tomorrow. That guy is old-fashioned and likes to do things himself. As long as he says that the previous cooperation is invalid, he will come to me on his own initiative. It just so happens that-"
It ends here, and the murderer himself kindly added the rest a few frames later.
"It's a good opportunity to kill Ji Xu."
Yu Ke pulled her thoughts away from her memories. She was good at analysis and smart enough to immediately ignore the vague clues in the incomplete documents, such as "Security Bureau executives and unknown recipients", "Security Bureau executives and Ji Xu", "previous cooperation"... She brainwashed herself into thinking that this was a failed drama.
Look, why do we say that the triangle is stable? I don’t know which superior just came up with the idea of kicking one of the corners out, and then he was slaughtered. So before kicking someone out, think about who is more important in the stable triangle team, yourself or the other party.
However, as her thoughts were in a mess, she also heard others arguing whether "Ji Xu" was a real name or a pseudonym. She agreed with the former. The murderer's every move was unconcealed, demonstrating his unique uprightness.
He came here for a banquet and left some gifts.
An invitation card with a name on it and a crescent-shaped branch of unknown meaning.
Ji Xu's actions this time were also full of cold humor that was inconsistent with his identity as a wanted criminal. He went there in person, left clues, fooled everyone, and left leisurely... Who is the wanted criminal after all?
The phone that she opened after cracking the password looked clean like a new one. In fact, it was a new phone. She opened all the software that seemed to be useful, and finally saw a missed call in the address book. He Xia just happened to lean half of his body out of the investigation room next door and waved at her. They worked together to connect the phone to the tracking device and then called back.
The phone rang once, and the call was answered so quickly that it seemed as if Ji Xu had been waiting next to it.
"Good afternoon, both of you. It's a little slower than I thought," he said calmly, as if he wasn't complaining. However, his next sentence overturned this idea, and at the same time, Yu Ke's complaints about whether this man was a wanted criminal deepened. "I'm having a meal. Considering that it's lunch break, maybe we can skip some unimportant testing steps."
Yu Ke looked up at the tracking device.
The red dot on the screen changed its position at a rate of every ten seconds, and the longitude and latitude once reached the other half of the earth. If the hardware had allowed it, they might have had the chance to witness a wanted criminal making a phone call from the moon.
He Xia shook his head. Yu Ke put the phone away and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "No, the interference is too strong, unless you can drag him to talk for two hours."
Never mind.
Twenty minutes is considered a kindness from the season sequence.
No qualitative requirements mean no worries, so Yu Ke can ask as many questions as she wants: "Let me start the conversation. What do you mean by the branch you left at the crime scene? It's an elm tree, 23 centimeters long and 6 millimeters thick. After comparison, it was found to be broken off from the green belt 300 meters east of the crime scene."
There was only breathing sound from the other side: "..."
Even though Yu Ke said it in a righteous manner, she was nervous when Ji Xu didn't say anything, fearing that the other party would say, "You can't even investigate such a small matter. You really disappoint me," and then hang up the phone. Then she would have no place to cry.
And what about the season sequence?
Ji Xu was also confused. How could he know what the background setting of the game was? He was now taking the time to look through the log records, and said casually, "That's not important. As my next opponent, are you only concerned about my past? I thought the future was more worthy of your attention."
Fortunately, Yu Wei was able to implicitly express his dissatisfaction with the progress of their investigation. Considering the past personality profile of this wanted criminal, this possibility was not low.
Yu Ke: "You prefer plants, so you first chose the common green plants on the roadside. Some people analyzed the meaning of the elm tree for half a month. Did it make you uneasy? Or did it make you lose a lot of money? Later, we found that the most reliable possibility was that you took the east road when you came here."
If you walk west, you might see camphor branches or ginkgo branches.
She swallowed the nonsense. "Now we think the shape of the branch is what you want to express. Is it the bow or the moon? The former implies hatred, and the latter represents purity."
She said a lot in one breath, fearing that Ji Xu would hang up impatiently. Fortunately, the breathing sound from the other end was still there. Yu Ke paused for a moment and asked the last question:
"Do you resent his breach of contract, or do you think his ugliness is worth purging?"
“…”
Is he such a neurotic person?
Ji Xu was stunned when he heard this. If the simulators were interconnected, this group of people would know that the tree branch was not a metaphor, and c was just a code name. To be more outrageous, the people in the simulator could even witness the evolution of this code name, as well as Ji Xu's increasingly expanding career development.
But the problem is that the simulators are not interoperable, which forces the Security Bureau to find another way out. They can only analyze the possibility that he is a psychopath based on his overly ritualistic behavior.
Just then, the game decided that he had enough clues. The log was refreshed with long paragraphs about the prospects of Yu Ke accepting the case. He read ten lines at a glance and said as he read: "Haven't you ever thought that... this is also a name?"
Yu Ke asked sharply, "Who? The third person among you?"
Ji Xu: "Unfortunately, it's me too."
“…”
This embarrassing topic was quickly passed over as if nothing had happened.
Fearing that they would link the code name to Moon's Revenge again, Ji Xu stated in advance: "You can call me Ji Xu, or you can call me code name C. Considering that Miss Yu is a rare smart person," Yu Ke had the right to think that he was being sarcastic when he heard this, "I need the email information of the murder scene."
This is not a difficult task.
Yu Ke’s authority certainly didn’t allow him to view the in-depth details, but as the perpetrator and one of the parties involved, Ji Xu should have known all the email information long ago. As for why he wanted it again now…
Who knows.
At least I didn't lose it and want to get another copy as a collection, haha.
Yu Ke: “I’ll go and apply later,” she said cunningly, “but you have to leave an address. We only accept face-to-face transactions.”
"You don't expect me to agree to your plan of getting something for nothing, do you?"
"With the original computer, we haven't been able to crack the previous email exchanges, but you may not be able to do that. Although I don't understand your intention, compared to an email that has already been investigated, the original laptop is more useful."
Ji Xu acquiesced: "How about the park last time? The time is set at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I like the quiet environment there."
There was no need for small talk after discussing the cooperation. Although Ji Xu had improved his network skills in the previous simulator, he didn't want to challenge his limits. He took out a disposable card, broke it into pieces, and gave the phone to a beggar on the street, asking the person to sell it somewhere for a good price. Then he lowered his hat and hurried back to the safe house to sort out his gains.
The person he killed was a senior executive of the Security Bureau. When a person of this level dies, there will be an official announcement. Even if not much is revealed due to special circumstances such as the water is too deep, the death cannot be faked. After searching the obituary three months ago, Ji Xu fixed his eyes on a certain name.
Tao Yi, one of the three deputy directors of the Security Bureau, died three months ago due to a sudden heart attack.
