Sense of smell

January 2146, 10 16:13

The office of the True Case Investigation Team of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Public Security Bureau of City B is cloudy, and everyone is staring at the computer in front of them with red eyes in dismay. It has been 12 hours since the crime happened. Although the arrest warrant has been issued, half a day has passed , but Tang Zheng could not be found.After finding Cheng Jing's number, Lin Chuan and Jiang Yue went to the scene to check again. They did not find Cheng Jing's mobile phone, which may have been taken away by the murderer, and a call record made at the scene of the crime could not be located. As far as the mobile phone, if it takes a little longer, maybe Tang Zheng has already smuggled out of the country.

Tang Zhengfeng was smoking a cigarette anxiously, and several lesbians coughed complainingly, but he buried his face behind the smoke and turned a deaf ear. The cigarette butts in the ashtray piled up into a hill.

Lin Chuan kept sorting out the information, the tools and methods of committing the crime were roughly clear, and the reconstruction of the scene was also in place. If Tang Zheng's grandson was caught, he would confess.

Jiang Yue listened to the recording of the report call and kept replaying the processed voice, falling into deep thought.

——Sanyuan in the western suburbs, Pandora's box has been opened.

Sanyuan in the western suburbs told them the location, so what does the second half of the sentence mean?Is it related to this case?

Lin Chuan looked at the lifeless office. Waiting like this was not an option, he still had to take the initiative, so he stood up and opened the door to go out. He was about to look at the clues again to prevent missing any details, and suddenly bumped into the visitor.

Lin Chuan is 182cm tall. He looks thin but actually has a lot of flesh. The collision did not hurt him, but made the other side dizzy.

He looked down, and saw a young boy roughly reaching his shoulders, holding his head and howling. He was wearing a police uniform, a white coat, and a police badge on his chest.

"Ouch, officer! Are you okay?" He asked anxiously, and the sound attracted the attention of everyone in the office who seemed to have lost their souls.

The little police officer in a white coat shook his head, then pushed him away, and hurriedly shouted towards the office: "Hurry up and come to the archive room! There are new clues!"

The True Case Investigation Team is a very prestigious department in the General Administration, which is specifically reflected in the fact that although it is only a branch of the Criminal Investigation Department, it covers one floor of the entire General Administration building and has mastery of many cases. confidential information.And at the end of this floor is the archive room exclusively owned by the true case investigation team.

At this time, there were many visitors in the usually sparsely populated archives room. The "guests" were sitting on the sofa. There were eight large screens directly in front of the sofa, and a computer screen was placed in the middle. Facing them was a sitting The young male policeman in the swivel chair, sitting next to him was a woman also in a white coat, with her back to them and kept typing on the keyboard.

Lin Chuan looked at these screens, but they were all surveillance videos, and then he heard the male policeman say: "Tang Zheng didn't detect it, and the 'supervisor' didn't send out an alarm, but we captured another face, Lisa."

The girl who was called Lisa nodded when she heard it, and then tapped the keyboard a few times, and then a face that had appeared on the screen was quickly extracted, and then the information data appeared.

The male policeman looked at Jiang Yue, and stated briefly, his slightly hoarse voice was particularly prominent: "Luo Wen, the former director of the Human Resources Department, died three years ago."

Lin Chuan suddenly felt that Jiang Yue beside him was breathing stagnantly.

I couldn't help feeling chills all over my body, and asked, "The person who died three years ago...how could he appear here?"

"Mask." Jiang Yue said in a low voice, and the male policeman snapped his fingers: "That's right, the database of the 'Seer' system is very powerful, so powerful that there is a loophole that can be exploited. It will be cleared immediately, but ordinary citizens don’t know about this inside story.”

"The 'Seer' system can identify details such as faces, pupils, fingerprints, and even hair in public facilities and at home, but it is impossible to be so detailed on the street. It can only monitor the face. If a wanted person wants to quietly The best way to act on the street is to pretend to be someone else."

Lin Chuan took a breath.

"If I use my face or the face of someone present, it is nothing more than death, because the database cannot handle two identical information at the same time, which will cause data confusion, but if I use someone who has died, and the person's data If it is still within the reserved time, then there will not be a big problem in terms of escaping surveillance alone."

The male policeman's voice wandered in the huge file room, and finally fell silent. Everyone had different ideas, but they all had to think deeply about what the male policeman said.

"A mask or something, it's too..." Huang Mao took the lead to break the silence, and said disapprovingly

"Trap, right?" The male policeman interrupted sharply, then turned around and typed a few times on the keyboard, and a dark web purchase interface appeared on the screen.

"This is an underground website where people smuggle a lot of illegal items. Although there is no so-called '□□', there is an account named 'craftsM' claiming that they can do this kind of thing, similar to using a magnetic interference technology Form a virtual image, thereby forming a camouflage under the vision of the outside world."

Lin Chuan blinked inexplicably and said, "Can I find the transaction records of this account?"

"Brother," the policeman sighed, and said angrily, "Why is this called the dark web? How could it be so easy to hack into?"

Everyone stared at the computer screen carefully, and then Tang Zhengfeng said: "Then the person pretending to be Luo Wen is most likely Tang Zheng, have you found the address?"

The male police officer nodded and said: "He didn't use all the equipment with the 'Seer' system, but the surveillance camera showed him turning into a street that led to the old residential area next to the industrial area in the western suburbs, and it was about to be demolished soon. , some nail households still live there, and that side is temporarily not under the jurisdiction of the 'Seer' system." He continued to operate on the keyboard, and then a map appeared on the screen, and the red dots marked what they were looking for place.

Tang Zhengfeng immediately turned on his watch, and hurriedly said seriously: "Attention all departments, this is Shepherd No. [-], and the target has appeared. Quickly search the old residential areas around the industrial zone in the western suburbs! Act now!"

Tang Zheng injected the last injection into his blood vessel, and the medicine quickly calmed his inner anxiety and depression, calming down all his emotions like a requiem.

He put on a mask, walked out, and turned into a dark street, surrounded by insects and rats, rancid and smelly, and the autumn wind wantonly scratched his clothes, he suddenly burst out laughing.

My own life seems to be a joke, but it is luck in the eyes of others.Since he became a door-to-door son-in-law, he couldn't get his salary normally, his younger siblings had no source of funds, his younger brother was forced to go out to work, and his younger sister was ill and had no money for medical treatment. He had a decent job but no decent life.

Two months ago, his mood became extremely unstable. He could feel that the psychological crime index was overvalued at that time. He begged Cheng Jing to give him some money so that he could use it for his family to continue living. What Jing brought was not money, but a pile of needle tubes filled with strange medicines. She said they were "sedation medicines" that could inhibit the growth of psychological crime index, and could continue to live normally after using them.He believed in her, just as he believed in her a year ago.The medicine is indeed effective, but if you don't use it, you can't suppress it. But one month later, Cheng Jing suddenly wanted to divorce her, and she would no longer provide him with "sedatives". If she disagreed, she would send him to a psychological treatment center.

Any citizen knows that after entering a psychological treatment facility, almost no one will leave with a crime index that returns to normal. Once entering, it means that the whole life will be destroyed there.Tang Zheng was terrified, he agreed to the divorce, agreed to leave the house, and agreed to all the requirements. After he had nothing, he suddenly received a call like a life-saving straw.

——You kill her as I said, and I will help you.

Tang Zheng walked on this deserted street without looking back, dialed the only phone he had been in contact with during this time, and the receiver rang twice as usual before picking up, and he asked him anxiously: "Why is there no medicine available?" Are you kidding me?!"

"Is the mask still usable?" The other end of the phone didn't answer his question, so he asked.

"Okay, it's easy to use, but what's the use of it, if I'm caught by the 'supervisor', it will be over!"

"Mr. Tang, have you heard the story of Sisyphus?"

Tang Zheng didn't understand this unreasonable question, and said in a daze, "What story?"

"In order to punish Sisyphus, the gods let him keep pushing the stone up the mountain, but because he couldn't bear the weight of the boulder and rolled down again and again, he continued to push it up again and again. effect business."

Tang Chuan glanced at the phone suspiciously, and the cold male voice continued, "Guess what crime he is charged with?"

Tang Chuan couldn't understand what he meant, but his intuition made him discover the clue, and he said in a trembling voice: "Hey, what do you mean... I have already done what you said, didn't we talk about it before? I Kill her the way you said, and you help me escape, do you want to go back on your word now?"

The curse-like voice continued to pass coldly through the machine in his hand, and it chuckled twice: "I gave you a chance."

"What..." The potential animal instinct of human beings made Tang Zheng feel the imminence of death. His whole body was trembling, and every pore breathed fear.

"You should be clear that I'm not talking about business with you."

On the roof of the abandoned building on the left side of Tangzheng, a sniper gun was quietly set up, and the sun shone through the muzzle, like the light reflected from the death sickle.

"A bad play should have a perfect ending."

In the next second, a sniper gun with a silencer ejected a bullet soundlessly, passing through Tang Zheng's temple accurately. Death cut off his brain nerves unexpectedly, and Tang Zheng's body froze. Hitting the ground, the camouflage gradually faded, revealing a lifeless face.

The autumn wind gradually approached with the sound of sirens, and the blood spreading on the ground was like a blooming blood lotus.

The clouds in the distance are churning, countless secrets are hidden, and a game of chess is quietly falling under the treacherous surface of the clouds.

Lin Chuan stood in front of the scene surrounded by the cordon with a complicated expression. Looking at the corpses that had not been sent back to the city bureau for medical examination, his brows were tightly frowned. They mobilized all the logistics to search the area and got their wish to see Tang Yes, though in such a tricky way.

Dead without proof.

Tang Zheng, with his back to the ground, was pierced by a bullet in his temple, and blood flowed out. A magnetic interference chip was worn on the back of his head.A warhead was found nearby, and after being scanned by the detection robot, the blood on it matched Tang Zheng's DNA.It was obviously a murder, but there were no people around and no witnesses.

Lin Chuan felt someone approaching, turned his head and saw Jiang Yue standing beside him silently with a cigarette in his mouth. He looked at Jiang Yue's neat profile and said slowly, "Is this the end?"

Jiang Yue exhaled the smoke slowly, staring intently at the removed chip, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't have too much psychological burden, it's not uncommon for a murderer to die without reason during the arrest process, and this result is not good Not too bad."

Lin Chuan pursed his lips, turned around and said sullenly, "I don't have any psychological burden..."

"Then your eyebrows that can pinch mosquitoes to death is my mistake." Jiang Yue said lightly.

Lin Chuan pursed his lips wordlessly, stretched out his hands to pinch the center of his brows, Jiang Yue's cold humor did not exert its effect, and at the end, Lin Chuan asked, "What do you think the murderer's purpose is this time, revenge?"

Jiang Yue extinguished the cigarette in the palm of his hand, and then put it in his coat pocket. Lin Chuan complained in his heart whether this is a good virtue handed down from the real case team, only to hear Jiang Yue shaking his head and laughing: "Officer Lin, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you It's labor overuse."

Lin Chuan watched the robot slowly transport Tang Zheng's body into the transport vehicle, and joked with Jiang Yue expressionlessly: "Then why don't you discuss it with the murderer, and stop adding more labor to us."

Jiang Yue smiled silently. After Lin Chuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the police car, waving at Jiang Yue from his back: "Come on, comrade police, it's not too late."

Jiang Yue didn't move, he raised his head and looked at the roof on the left, his vision against the light became very blurred, he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and quietly clenched his fists in his pockets.
