Mystery Tracker 3

Hospital, outside the single ward.

"Chi Jiawei was moved here from the ICU at noon today. The doctor had just finished examining him when Shen Hao and I arrived." Fang Liyuan said to Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong who rushed over, "Probably because I knew I was arrested for taking drugs. Now, his attitude is very cooperative, he just explained some things, Xiaohao and I think it is very important, so I let you come and listen."

The two nodded and followed Fang Liyuan into the ward.Chi Jiawei was lying on the bed with his neck immobilized and a wound on his head.Shen Hao was sitting on Chi Jiawei's bedside, fiddling with his laptop.Seeing Cheng and Chen coming in, he said to Chi Jiawei: "Chi Jiawei, this is Captain Shen and Captain Cheng from our city's Public Security Bureau. Please tell them what you just told us."

Chi Jiawei was still very weak, and he said softly: "The dark net I logged into is called 'Freedom East' in Chinese. There are many sections in this website, some are public, and some require a password to enter. I usually look at It is one of the forums for discussing crimes. There are many people discussing various crimes in China and abroad. Sometimes I read the methods they talk about to find some inspiration for writing novels...cough cough..."

Because of the injury on his body, Chi Jiawei coughed after saying a few words.Shen Hao fed him some water with a straw, and then he continued: "About half a year ago, under a post on the forum discussing homicide, someone mentioned the dismemberment case in our city. Everyone was there at the beginning Guess how the murderer did it, but after a while, someone suddenly left a message saying that all the above guesses were wrong, saying that the case was a beautiful work of art. Immediately, someone refuted him, saying that the murderer did not I was arrested purely because there were not so many electronic surveillance back then. If it is in modern times, the murderer will definitely be caught soon. Then it is said that if someone can commit a crime but not be caught by the police, that is true. Awesome stuff..."

Having said that, Chi Jiawei stopped to take a few breaths.

"In the end, the person who said 'the case was an art back then' asked the other party: 'Then do you dare to make a bet?' The other party replied 'Why don't you dare', and then the two of them suddenly stopped talking Those of us onlookers are still waiting to watch the show, but we haven't seen these two people come back after watching for a long time. After another day, I heard someone say in the post that those two people went to the 'casino' to gamble. "

"'Casino'?" Cheng Jinsong noticed Chi Jiawei's subconscious accent when he said the word.

"Yes, it's a section in the 'Free East'. It is said that there is a special session for 'Big Brothers'. It is said that the big guys from various countries will conduct big business there. But it is not easy to get in. You need an invitation code, and it is said that you need to Pay bitcoins—I haven’t been in anyway. Then a few days ago, I saw someone on the Internet saying that the dismemberment case 20 years ago had reappeared, and I guessed that they were true in all likelihood I made a bet. But I didn't expect that they would actually engage in such a big case..."

After talking for such a long time, Chi Jiawei was obviously a little tired.He stopped and began to breathe for a rest, but the expressions of Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong became more serious—they had speculated about the motive of the crime before, but they never thought that the murderer's motive might be just Because of a bet.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Shen Hao held up the computer and said softly to the two of them: "Look, this is the dark web that Chi Jiawei was talking about. This is the post he was talking about."

Cheng and Chen looked at the computer together, only to see a page with a black background, with a series of messages on it, which was very similar to an ordinary forum.The controversy that Chi Jiawei mentioned mainly occurred between several people, and the ID of the person who proposed to bet was C-artist.And the ID of the other person who challenged is a string of Japanese やがみらいと.

"What does this mean?" Shen Yan pointed to the string of words and asked.

"Yakamitsu is a protagonist in a Japanese anime." Shen Hao replied, "This character has a high IQ and has killed many people. He is the big boss in that anime."

Shen Yan frowned.He took the computer and continued to browse the conversations on the post, while Cheng Jinsong looked at Chi Jiawei: "Then have you seen these two people speaking on the website since then?"

"They're all gone." Chi Jiawei shook his head, "But the ID on the website can be changed. It's very common to use one this time and another next time. So it's not necessarily that they never came up again."

"Your message on the city's website forum - about how to avoid surveillance - why was it deleted later?"

"I just finished smoking when I left the message that day. Later, when I woke up, I found that I had said a bit too much. I was afraid that someone would report it. If the police thought I was a murderer, I would be in trouble. Even if they didn't think I was a murderer, I It's not easy to explain where I know it, after all...it's not easy for me to tell the police that I saw it on the dark web."

At the end, Chi Jiawei showed a little embarrassment.

"How do you know that the police didn't find all the bodies?" Shen Yan continued to ask.

"I guessed. After I heard about this, I went to the garbage factory to inquire, and found out that they didn't find all the dead bodies there; plus the police searched every day in the south of the city, I guessed that you haven't found all the dead bodies yet. "

Unexpectedly, although this person takes drugs, he is still a little clever.The two of them saw that they had already asked almost all the questions they should ask, so they stood up.

"Chi Jiawei, if you take drugs, you will be sentenced to administrative detention according to the regulations. There will be specific police officers who will come to deal with these matters. In addition, we will temporarily detain your computer for a period of time, and we need to conduct further investigation on some content."

Coming out of the ward, Shen Yan asked Shen Hao: "Can I find out the IP of this spokesperson?"

Shen Hao shook his head: "The biggest feature of the dark web is that everyone's IP is hidden and cannot be traced. I just browsed after I got Chi Jiawei's account. This website is very large-scale. In addition to the forum, It also has a large trading area. I took a quick look at it, and it sells all kinds of illegal things. But it can only preview titles and profiles. If you want to view photos or contact sellers, you need to pay Bitcoin. Late There is no money in Jiawei's account, so I didn't go any further. However, judging from the number of its 'commodities' and languages, I'm afraid it has a lot of users, and they are basically concentrated in Asia." Having said that, he looked at Shen Yan, "I think we should conduct a more detailed investigation on this 'Free East'. It is definitely a fairly large-scale dark web."

"The dark web can be checked, but right now we should focus on the case." Shen Yan said, "How about it, did you find any new clues about this case on that website just now?"

Shen Hao shook his head: "For the time being, that's as much as Chi Jiawei said. But now that we have obtained Chi Jiawei's account and know this website, we may be able to get more information from it. I will strive for a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Shen Yan nodded, but Cheng Jinsong, who is more familiar with network technology, was not so optimistic: "The dark web can't be checked quickly, not to mention that based on the existing content, we can't be sure that the murderer must be those people on the dark web." .In my opinion, we should focus on the few existing clues first. After solving the case in front of us, we should solve the problem of the dark web.”

"I understand this." Shen Hao said, "Actually, I have a guess. Didn't we never figure out how the murderer knew the details of the original case? Do you think he knew it from the dark web? "

Both Cheng and Chen were stunned at the same time - they really didn't expect this.

"Thinking about it carefully, I really can't rule out this possibility." Cheng Jinsong tasted something, "We suspected that the police who handled the case leaked the news, but the reply from the Wang Bureau was that no one said it was leaked; and Jiang Xin It is also said that the murder details of the murderer are very different from those of the previous case. If the murderer learned online, it is really possible to learn a little bit like now."

"But how can there be on the dark web..." Shen Yan was halfway through speaking, and suddenly realized, "Do you suspect that the person who made the bet was the murderer back then?"

"Don't you think it's possible?" Shen Hao's eyes sparkled, "If that C-artist was the murderer back then, everything would make sense. Why would he say that other people's guesses were wrong? I would think so highly of the murder case 20 years ago, and why the murderer knew the details of the year. In the case back then, the murderer’s method of murder was meticulous, and there is a guess that the murderer was a person with a high level of knowledge. Such a person It’s not too uncommon to log into the dark web now.”

"This guess is reasonable, but I just checked, and that person did not disclose any information about him, and there are so many people surfing the Internet, we can't even be sure if he is in the country." Cheng Jinsong said, "The most urgent thing is the immediate case."

"We should focus on the current case. I just want to say that if the murderer really bet against the two people, we should temporarily lower our expectations of finding the murderer through the motive of the murder. Instead, we should concentrate on finding the murderer from the scene, Surveillance to find the murderer."

"There is also the mobile phone number that was opened with Cao Lu's ID card," Shen Yan added, "Although the mobile phone number was opened by stealing other people's information, it should be used by the murderer himself.

"I have applied to the network operator to investigate its signal before, and the result should be available soon." Shen Hao said.

"Okay. This line can directly locate the murderer, so we must do our best to investigate."

"I see."

"In addition, I think we can continue to solicit clues," Cheng Jinsong continued, "Didn't the notice soliciting clues about the second abandoned corpse scene be sent out earlier? I think we can publish all the whereabouts of Hu Qianqian before she disappeared. Now all With so many kinds of private surveillance, plus mobile phones, someone may have captured the relevant clues. We must fully rely on the power of the people."

"Alright!"

The three agreed on their ideas and hurried back to the police station.And what they don't know is that in the depths of the dark network, there is a timer that keeps beating: 23:15:43, 23:15:42, 23:15:41...
