Chapter 931 Password and Responsibility
Danny sent away Uncle Ed, who was a postal policeman, followed Jack into the back seat of the Hellcat, and then curiously wanted to poke his cheek with his finger. .
“How did you do that?”
“It’s just some simple disguise skills.” Jack turned away and bared his teeth at him, revealing the hidden secrets on his cheeks. The prosthesis below.
He just slightly changed his facial features and put on a fake beard. He was able to deceive ordinary facial recognition software, but his ability to deceive the human eye was average, especially when the other person was an acquaintance of his.
Danny wasn't stupid either. Although he recognized Jack with square cheeks and a fake beard at a glance, he didn't point it out. Instead, he spared no expense and used his father's collection to trick the person he was calling away as quickly as possible. Uncle Ed comes to help.
He knows very well that the case that allows Jack to disguise himself in New York and hide his identity is definitely not a small case. You must know that in the case that bombed Central Park last time, this guy just deliberately avoided the media.
Jack introduced the two of them to each other while driving. When Danny heard that it was a murder case involving members of the Army Special Investigation Team, his eyes became bright.
Not to mention the subtle mentality of Ma Runneng, a retired fourth-class man, when he participated in a murder case related to the Army Military Police. After hearing that it was tortured to extract confessions and the body was dumped by helicopter, as The professional sense of an NYPD detective suddenly excited him.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Rachel kept silent and lowered his head to rummage through the large pile of letters he had just taken out of the mailbox. Finally, he found a USB flash drive in an envelope and finally looked at Jack with a smile on his face. .
"Have I ever told you that you are very smart?"
"Everyone knows some things without saying it." Jack took the USB flash drive and looked at it, his expression turned solemn immediately.
“There is something wrong with this USB flash drive. It has been tampered with.”
“What do you mean?” Reacher took the USB flash drive back and turned on the small light above the passenger’s head to observe carefully. Sure enough, there was something inside the USB flash drive casing. Traces of re-gluing were found on it.
“Let’s talk about it when we get back, we have experts who can handle this.” Jack turned the steering wheel and drove onto the highway heading towards Long Island.
——
“You are right, the USB flash drive has indeed been tampered with, and the circuit board has been modified. The purpose is probably to burn the memory chip when necessary.”
Alice is here After studying the disassembled USB flash drive under a desktop magnifying glass for a long time, he spoke.
“Does it mean entering the wrong password when necessary?” Jack had already taken off his disguise and asked leaning against the door.
At this time, beef dumplings were being cooked on the gas stove in the kitchen. In addition to Reacher and Danny, who had followed him in the car, everyone from the wanted criminal team was also in the restaurant.
"It seems yes. I can remove the memory chip and replace it with a new USB flash drive to prevent the chip from being burned. But if I want to read the information inside, it is best to be able to figure out the password. Forcibly cracking it may require the use of the bureau's supercomputer resources. "
Alice stretched out her hand, and Aubrey, who was watching the fun beside her, quickly handed over the plugged-in soldering iron, looking extremely dishonest.
"Damn, I hate guessing passwords." Reacher muttered dissatisfiedly while sitting on the sofa.
"You have already said this, but the person who knows Franz best here is you. You can try to analyze him now like a criminal."
Jack said After that, he walked back to the kitchen, turned down the heat, lifted the lid of the pot, added some cold water into it, and then put the lid back on the pot.
Not long after, when Jiejie and Hannah brought two large plates of dumplings to the table, everyone rushed forward, holding the big bowls and began to scoop into their own bowls. Jack left a large bowl for Rachel alone, which was enough for four or five people. .
Aubrey looked at Rachel who was devouring the food with some surprise. He couldn't believe that someone could eat better than him.
"I think you might need this." While everyone was eating, Jack cooked another pot, then went upstairs to get an empty photo frame and handed it to Rachel.
They were not empty-handed when they left Franz's office. Reacher took the smashed picture frame away.
"Thank you." Although Lei Che did not show his emotions easily, he was not pretentious either. He put down the half-eaten dumplings and went to wash his hands. Then he carefully took apart the damaged photo frame and replaced the photo. Installed.
"It's done." On the other hand, Alice had already inserted the USB flash drive with the replaced chip into her laptop, and a password input box popped up on the screen. Everyone sat around Alice with dumplings in their hands, and then all looked at Rachel.
"Are you sure you can try unlimited passwords?" Jack served himself a plate of dumplings, and poured the rest into Reacher's big basin while everyone looked at him in surprise. .
Alice looked at the seven or eight large dumplings that were still steaming in the bowl left alone for herself. She couldn't help but secretly gasped, and she calmed down before answering.
“No problem, the original setting is that you can enter three times within 2 minutes. If you enter incorrectly or the time expires, the memory chip will be completely burned. Now I have bypassed this restriction.”
Jack made a gesture of invitation to Rachel, who suddenly showed a bitter face. He felt that the beef dumplings in his hands were no longer fragrant. It took him a long time to hold back the words, "Pittsburgh, the hometown of Franz." ”
Wrong password.
"Pirates? Steelers?"
The former is a famous Major League Baseball team in Pittsburgh, and the latter is a football team, but unfortunately both are wrong.
"Brother Primanti? Uh, Primanti." Reacher continued to guess.
"What is that?" Danny asked curiously.
Before Reacher could say anything, Aubrey responded directly, "A famous fast food restaurant in Pittsburgh. They put French fries on top of their sandwiches, which is quite unique."
< br>Unfortunately, it was still wrong. Lei Che pulled his hair in pain.
"What kind of person is this Franz? What is his greatest characteristic?" Jubal also became interested.
“Smart and cautious?” Jiejie feels that people who can hide such deep secrets have these two qualities.
"The 110 Special Investigation Team are all smart and very cautious." Reacher sounded quite proud.
"It's loyalty." Jack suddenly said from the side, "He is extremely loyal because of his love and admiration. He even taught your group's slogan to his children, so it should be specific to a certain person. "
Rachel's eyes lit up, "You're right, Roberto Clemente, try both the first and last name."
Roberto Clemente. Te, the most famous "hit king" of the Pittsburgh Pirates, died in a plane crash while traveling to Nicaragua for disaster relief activities in 1972.
Unfortunately, the password is still wrong.
"Willis Tugger?" Jubal said of another famous Buccaneers star.
Alice was about to type, but was stopped by Jack, "What I want to say is Jack Reacher, try both first and last name."
"That's impossible." Lei Che shook his head repeatedly, "Stop kidding."
"I'm not kidding." Jack picked up the photo he just put aside and pointed out Franz on it to everyone.
“Look at this young man, who do you think of? The same hairstyle, the same unkempt beard, although he is wearing military uniforms, but look at the way he rolls up his trouser legs, do you think this young man is imitating Who?”
"." Reacher wanted to say something else, but Alice was already typing on the keyboard quickly. The name was wrong, but after typing the word "Reacher", the folder was opened.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Jack patted Reacher on the shoulder. There were some things that did not need to be explained clearly. The heavy responsibility contained in them was self-evident.
