Double evil in the business district

Chapter 145: Clues Gathered to Break the Game

The anonymous text message was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in Xiao Yue's heart.

The game has just begun?

Who is the other party?

Is it the senior executive who is behind this, or is there someone else?

Xiao Yue frowned, and a sense of uneasiness came over him.

She immediately notified Zhao Baoan and Liu the programmer to intensify surveillance of senior executives and asked them to thoroughly check the company's internal network for any clues.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Xiao Yue felt like he was racing against time.

After being controlled, the senior executive became unusually silent, as if he had given up resistance.

This abnormal behavior made Xiao Yue more alert. She was worried that the senior manager was delaying time and destroying evidence.

"Have you checked the senior manager's recent communication records?" Xiao Yue asked Programmer Liu in a hurried tone.

"We're still investigating. The firewall settings are very complicated. The other party is obviously an expert." Programmer Liu's glasses reflected the light from the computer screen, and his fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard.

"Speed ​​up!" Xiao Yue was extremely anxious. She knew that the longer the time dragged on, the greater the variables would be.

At that moment, Zhao Baoan rushed in from the monitoring room. "Director Xiao, we have a new discovery! Before being apprehended, Director Gao frequently entered and exited the Information Security Center, and each time he avoided the surveillance cameras."

"Information Security Center?" Xiao Yue immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, "Take me there immediately!"

The information security center is located in the basement of the company building and is heavily guarded.

Xiao Yue, Zhao Baoan and Liu the programmer carefully checked the areas where the senior executive had been in and out, and finally found the hidden USB flash drive in an inconspicuous corner.

Programmer Liu immediately connected the USB drive to the computer to recover the data, and lines of encrypted data appeared on the screen.

After some cracking, the secrets hidden behind the data gradually surfaced, which turned out to be evidence of the senior executive's connection with overseas accounts and detailed records of how he stole company secrets.

These clues perfectly match the information Xiao Yue previously possessed, further confirming Director Gao's identity as a spy and revealing more hidden details.

"That's great!" Xiao Yue clenched his fists, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry.

"Back up this evidence immediately and strengthen the company's network security to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

At this moment, Xiao Yue's phone vibrated again, it was still the unfamiliar number.

"You're smart, but do you think you've won just like that? The real show... is yet to come." Xiao Yue suddenly raised his head and looked out the window. Night fell, and the city lights were bright, but they couldn't hide the danger lurking in the darkness...

She rubbed her temples tiredly, "Notify Detective Huang, tomorrow morning..." Shen Ting pushed open the door of Xiao Yue's office and saw her working at her desk with a furrowed brow. The light from the screen reflected on her tired face.

He walked behind her with a distressed look on his face, gently placed his hands on her slender shoulders, and kneaded the tense muscles.

"Thank you for your hard work." His low voice was gentle.

Xiao Yue was slightly stunned, and feeling the warmth from his fingertips, her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

"Not bad." She responded softly, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on the corner of her mouth.

After a brief moment of warmth, Xiao Yue plunged into the intense investigation again.

The arrest of the senior executive was like disturbing a hornet's nest. People in the company were in a panic. Those who had close contact with the senior executive became like frightened birds and began to suspect and blame each other.

Secretary Ma was the first to bear the brunt of the blame. She kept defending herself, claiming that she was completely unaware of Director Gao's espionage activities, and even pointed the finger at the heads of other departments in an attempt to divert Xiao Yue's attention.

Several other employees who were listed as suspects followed suit, and the office was filled with the sounds of mutual blame and accusations, as if it were a farce.

Xiao Yue watched all this coldly. She knew that this was just their last-ditch effort, trying to distract her and cover up the real truth.

She was not affected by their confusion, but instead analyzed everyone's words and actions more calmly, looking for loopholes in their words.

Detective Huang brought a new clue. He investigated the social relations of the senior manager and found that he had contact with an overseas organization, which had a close relationship with Shen's competitors.

This clue suddenly opened Xiao Yue's mind. She realized that this case of industrial espionage might not be an isolated incident, and there might be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

It was late at night, and the lights in Xiao Yue's office were still on.

She rubbed her sore eyes and picked up the phone, "Tomorrow morning, I want to..."

Xiao Yue was not affected by the farce in the office. She knew very well that this was a common tactic used by spies - taking advantage of troubled waters and distracting attention.

A barely perceptible sneer appeared on her lips, and she did the opposite, gathering all the suspects, including Secretary Ma, into the conference room.

"Everyone," Xiao Yue looked around at everyone, her tone calm but with a hint of majesty, "The investigation has made new progress. We have locked down several overseas accounts and have been in frequent contact with senior executives. I believe the truth will soon come to light." She deliberately paused, observing everyone's reaction.

Secretary Ma's expression changed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he subconsciously clenched the folder in his hand.

The others looked at each other with different expressions.

Xiao Yue continued, "Moreover, we also discovered that there is more than just Director Gao as the spy. He has an accomplice who is lurking among us." She emphasized her tone and swept her eyes over everyone, as if she could see through everyone's heart.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.

A usually taciturn department head suddenly stood up excitedly and retorted loudly: "Director Xiao, you are slandering us! We are all loyal employees of the company, how could we do such a thing!" His reaction was too intense, which made his crime even more obvious.

Xiao Yue observed his expression calmly, the smile on her lips deepening.

"Really? I hope so." Her tone was meaningful, making the supervisor even more uneasy, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Xiao Yue already had the answer in her mind, but she did not expose him immediately. Instead, she continued to guide the topic and collect more evidence subtly.

She knew that the reaction of this "frightened bird" had exposed his identity.

After the meeting, Xiao Yue returned to the office. Shen Ting handed her a cup of hot tea and asked with concern, "How was it?"

Xiao Yue took the teacup, took a sip, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"The fish has been hooked, and we just have to wait to pull in the net."

However, Xiao Yue knew in his heart that this was just the beginning.

Supervisor Gao and this newly discovered accomplice are just the tip of the iceberg. The spy network hidden behind them is far more complicated than she imagined.

She vaguely felt that there was a more powerful force secretly controlling all this.

She turned on the computer and looked at the flashing cursor on the screen, lost in thought.

How can we catch this huge spy network in one fell swoop?

How can we protect the company's data security before they launch the final attack?

Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and an encrypted message popped up: "Do you think you've won? The game has just begun..." Xiao Yue raised her head sharply, her eyes piercing the dark night sky outside the window, "Notify the Information Security Center..."
