Chapter 20 A detective who doesn’t know how to talk about cross talk is not a good anchor [Additional update]
"Didn't you say you opened your mouth? Why is it still like this!"
Outside Interrogation Room No. 3, He Qiu looked at Lin Xiaoxia, whose eyes were red and swollen but still bowed her head and refused to speak, through the glass. He turned his head and glared at the police officer behind him.
"She did speak just now, Captain He," a female police officer whispered, "There is a video recorded here. She said one sentence and then stopped responding."
"What did she say?"
"I can't say yet."
"Huh?" He Qiu turned to look at the policewoman, and naturally remembered that this was the apprentice he brought out. He had been in the criminal police force for several years, but why was he still so messy about his work?
"What can't you say? Say it!"
"Captain He, what she said was just five words, 'I can't say it yet'. Come over here and watch the video! She said it while crying. She said this after an emotional breakdown, and then she fell silent again quickly. .”
He Qiu's forehead was covered with black lines. He quickly rushed to the monitoring station and checked the video for a while. He pushed the door open and entered the interrogation room with a dark face.
Lin Xiaoxia shivered a few times, but still just lowered her head and remained silent.
……
The sound of water gurgling.
Wang Ze closed his eyes and stood in the mist, letting the gentle water hit him from all sides, but the cafe window always appeared in front of his eyes.
Black Shadow;
Countdown;
Broken Wenquan's avatar's revolver;
Forward striking primer firing pin;
‘You’re the first! ’
‘The live broadcast has been interrupted! ’
'You can't help me...'
Bang!
Wang Ze suddenly opened his eyes, and the electric arc erupted from the simple pulse gun seemed to still shine in Wang Ze's eyes.
"Hoo——"
After taking a deep breath, Wang Ze's tense muscles relaxed and he pressed the button on the wall.
Warm air of suitable strength blew from all directions, and the water droplets on the body were quickly dried. The floor of the shower room quickly became dry, and a neat change of clothes was placed outside the glass door.
After all, the equipment of the police station is conservative and somewhat backward.
Nowadays, the more popular bathroom decoration style allows users to complete the entire process of undressing and dressing up without having to reach out, and can even give users a simple physical examination.
When Wang Ze opened the door and came out, the two women in the room looked up at the same time.
Qi Ming quickly lowered his head and continued working, but Lin Weilin looked at Wang Ze with a smile, not hiding the admiration in his eyes.
He Qiu had already put on a police uniform and was sitting on the sofa with his arms folded, as if he was asleep.
Qi Ming thought of something and raised her head and called to the boss: "I have handed over the information from Hengzhou Star to Director Zhao. Director Zhao said that the technical information in it is very comprehensive. In addition to methods for searching the brain, there are also There is a weapon against the Eternals, it seems to be a virus.”
"That's good," Wang Ze said with a smile, "It seems that our next work will be much easier."
Qi Ming responded and continued to work with his head down.
He Qiu opened one eye and joked: "It takes half an hour to take a shower. I thought you fell into the sewer."
"It should be twenty-three minutes," Wang Ze smiled calmly, "Multiple maintenance of hair is a skill that a mental worker must have. Isn't the press conference still in a while?"
He Qiu suddenly lowered his voice: "Lin Xiaoxia just had an emotional breakdown."
"Did you ask anything?"
"No," He Qiu frowned, "She was just crying. After crying for a while, she returned to her previous state. She continued to say nothing, but said one sentence to us..."
< br>
"What words?"
Lin Xiaoxia's almost desperate eyes appeared in front of He Chou's eyes, and he was somewhat unable to make an accurate judgment for a moment.
He Qiu whispered: "She said five words - I can't say it yet."
"I can't say it yet?"
Wang Ze crossed his arms, lowered his head and thought for a while, then just nodded without expressing his opinion on the matter.
The police naturally have the ability to get Lin Xiaoxia to confess.
Wang Ze walked straight to the desk and watched Qi Ming continuously operate on the projection screen of the watch.
Lin Weilin brought the water glass, handed it to Wang Ze in a natural movement, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang's outstanding appearance has changed my impression of criminal investigation workers."
"Thank you," Wang Ze replied calmly, scanning the replies to Qi Ming's post.
This post was actually marked as scrolling to the top, and the person who posted it, "Xiao Qi doesn't drink tea," also had an officially certified label - Detective Assistant.
Qi Ming whispered: "No substantial gains have been made yet. There are already dozens of veteran players of Creation Titan in the replies, but it has been too long. They only remember the companions they are familiar with and have contact with later, and Wen Run." Ruyu has no intersection.”
Lin Weilin said: "This game was also very popular back then, and it was very big. If the deceased Wenquan was not a celebrity, such as the commander or main attacker of a certain legion, few people would remember him now."
Wang Ze asked: "Has Ms. Lin played there too?"
"Yes, I was thirteen years old at the time, and the first black box game I came into contact with was Creation Titan," Lin Weilin shrugged. "But because of the minor protection law on my home planet, I could only play it for a short time every day, but It’s indeed a very good game.”
"Then we can only place our hopes on the press conference."
Wang Ze thought for a moment, looked at Lin Weilin's delicate and natural face, and said casually: "What profession does Miss Lin play in this game?"
"Supporter, responsible for treatment and providing medicine."
"What is Wen Quan's profession?" Wang Ze suddenly asked.
"This requires reviewing the data, but we don't have the data," Lin Weilin said softly, "I'm a little bit confused now as to why the server data of Creation Titan disappeared. The technical department showed me the records and said that there was an incident more than ten years ago. There was a fire in the computer room, burning two sets of servers.”
Wang Ze smiled: "Ms. Lin thinks the murderer may be related to the game Creation Titan?"
"Yes, but considering it from my workplace perspective..."
Lin Weilin's smile was slightly sly: "Everything is the intern's improper operation, and we, Wei Xing Group, have no substantive fault."
Wang Ze was immediately speechless.
……
【04:20:19】
In a luxury hotel not far from the police station building, a large number of security personnel maintained order on the scene, and two teams of police at the intersection were also checking the information of pedestrians.
The gorgeous augmented reality scenes inside and outside the hotel are completely closed at this moment, which makes the hotel look a bit old, and the golden decoration is somewhat earthy.
The only advantage that allowed this hotel to beat several resort hotels next door and get a large booking like Wei Xing Group was its vast lobby.
At this moment, a row of empty long tables was set up inside the lobby, and a control desk was set up in the corner.
Filming equipment was suspended in the air. On the dozens of seats in the venue, reporters had been waiting for a long time. Projection screens were shining with light blue light.
Finally, several armed police officers opened the way, and a group of four people appeared at the entrance of the lobby.
With a slight buzzing sound, filming machines swarmed up.
Wang Ze and He Chou had already experienced this kind of battle last time, and they didn't feel much at this moment.
Lin Weilin was even more familiar with this kind of battle. She took the initiative to walk at the front and made a gesture of invitation, which gave Wang Ze and He Qiu a lot of face.
While more than a dozen staff members were busy, Wang Ze, He Qiu, and Lin Weilin sat at the podium.
On the streets of Liming Street, this scene appeared simultaneously on all the major portals and major live broadcast platforms on the home network.
Wang Ze was frozen in the center of the picture.
Even the residents of the home planet who had not paid attention to the Liming Street murder case were now forced to accept the ins and outs of this matter.
A diligent detective assistant was still staring at the post he had sent.
"Dear reporters, as well as Liming Street users who watched this live broadcast, I am sorry that so many public resources have been taken up.
"I am Weina, the spokesperson of Weixing Group. These two people beside me should be familiar to you. Their brave actions in the Sky Rail Train Robbery that just occurred successfully prevented the tragedy from happening.
< br>
"This is Captain He Qiu of the Criminal Police Brigade of Lanhai City Police Station."
He Chou stood up and saluted, and there was sparse applause from below.
Lin Weilin continued:
"I don't need to introduce this person. Mr. Wang Ze, at the invitation of Captain He Qiu, came to the home planet from the Sixth Star Cluster to assist in the investigation of the murder of Wen Quan, which everyone is most concerned about at the moment.
"Yes, this case occurred five days ago. Because the case was complicated and no effective evidence was found in the case itself, out of respect for the deceased and to avoid affecting the police's handling of the case, we chose not to announce this matter to the public. < br>
"If it is because of our overly conservative choices that have caused a bad experience for all users, on behalf of the board of directors of Weixing Group and all the staff, I sincerely apologize to you."
She stood up, held her chest and bowed to apologize.
More than a dozen staff members standing on both sides of the podium bowed neatly, as if they had practiced it many times.
Shutter sounds are heard all around.
The barrage floating past the already crowded live broadcast room was full of strange jokes.
Lin Weilin returned to his seat and sat down. A reporter below spoke at the right time:
"Then I would like to ask, is it because Weixing Group has chosen to hold a press conference now because the case has made great progress?"
Lin Weilin said warmly: "Our Weixing Group immediately reported the case to the police station in the jurisdiction where the case occurred, and provided comprehensive technical support in the follow-up."
"As for the progress of the case, I think it would be more appropriate for you to ask Captain He."
The camera immediately surrounded He Qiu.
He Qiu calmly continued: "As for the case, we cannot disclose it to the outside world before it is officially closed, so as not to affect the investigation of the case. This is the discipline of our police force."
"Let me tell you."
Wang Ze took the initiative to speak. The reporters immediately cheered up, and those shots almost hit Wang Ze's face.
Wang Zedao: "The Murder Case on Liming Street..."
"This is the Wen Quan case," Lin Weilin reminded from the side, "Mr. Wang."
"Well, the case of Wen Quan's murder has now been solved, the key witnesses have been obtained, and the physical evidence is in the process of sampling."
Wang Ze considered his words and continued:
"As we all know, no matter how realistic the virtual world is, it cannot directly affect the real world, so you don't have to worry that this case will overturn the building of our physics.
"Everything is just a dilemma cleverly set up by the murderer."
There was slight laughter from the reporters below.
Wang Ze didn't give them a chance to speak, and continued: "It's not convenient for Captain He to say, I will reveal some of the progress of the case to you."
He Chou on the side couldn't help but sigh and quickly winked at Wang Ze.
The affairs of the Eternals cannot be disclosed to the outside world. There is no evidence that the other party is the Eternals. It will only cause riots, but will cause adverse effects.
The reporters below, as well as the viewers in the major live broadcast rooms, all chose to hold their breath and concentrate, or directly turned up the volume.
Wang Ze was calm and composed, with no trace of nervousness at all, and his voice was clear and slow:
"First of all, we already have evidence that the deceased Wen Quan was killed offline.
"Also, although we have clues about the murderer, we are still unable to locate the murderer. You can think of the murderer as a highly skilled hacker, or there are such masters in this criminal gang.
“This makes the police very passive.
"To be honest, I think Weixing Group should reflect on why this kind of expert is not the technical backbone of your group, but is standing on the opposite side of you.
"As long as we pay more to people engaged in scientific research, we won't be in this predicament today."
The number of live broadcasts soared again, and the number of barrages began to rise crazily.
Such bombs as "Wang Ze is so brave to speak", "Weixing Group has been disgraced to the Sixth Star Cluster", "I'm so obsessed with you, this detective is so tough! Weixing Group doesn't take anything seriously"... The screen begins to refresh.
He Chou was relieved to hear that Wang Ze didn't reveal anything substantial.
But Lin Weilin's expression began to become a little richer.
Wang Ze performed another stand-up comedy, sarcastically mocking Weixing Group and praising the police investigators who had been working overtime for nearly a week without going home.
When he felt that it was almost done, he looked at the statistics of the number of people in the live broadcast room displayed on Diji's mobile phone and easily brought the topic back.
“Team He and I appeared here today to collect clues.
"On-site technicians, can you post the comments from netizens to the site? I want to have a close chat with you."
Lin Weilin immediately got up and rushed to the corner.
Not long after, the light blue light curtain slowly opened, rows of three-dimensional text scrolled in the venue, and the two-second delay in the live broadcast room was quietly turned off.
Lin Weilin didn't even mean to sit back next to Wang Ze and He Chou. He stood in the corner with his arms folded and looked at Wang Ze's profile quietly.
She couldn't help but think of what Wang Ze said to her on the way here:
"I may talk a little more today, hoping to get some useful clues."
This is not a point.
Wang Ze was very relaxed from beginning to end, as if he was chatting with a familiar friend.
"There was a popular game twenty years ago. Have you heard of it? If you haven't heard of it, you can ask your parents and uncles.
"The name of the game is "Creation Titan", and the name of the deceased Wen Quan in this game was Wenrun Ruyu. Team He wrote down the name of this game and the deceased's game, and held it up next to him.
"If anyone has an impression of this game and its name, I hope you can contact our police as soon as possible. This is very important for solving the case.
"If there are screenshots and videos preserved, and the clues are useful, I can, depending on the situation, share part of the reward after solving the case to the friends who provided the clues.
“You don’t want any reward, but you want my autographed photo? I hope the friend who posted this comment can reset his own values and avoid cult of personality.
"A friend has already called. If this case can be solved today, everyone here will be responsible."
In the corner, Lin Weilin's eyes were a little bright. She looked down at the small screen projected by the watch and the scrolling numbers on the screen.
Someone next to me whispered:
"Mr. Lin, the live broadcast effect of the Great Detective is quite impressive."
"He should be very disgusted with this kind of thing. In his opinion, this is probably pretending to be crazy and acting stupid," Lin Weilin whispered. "It seems that the murderer did put a lot of pressure on him."
"Does Mr. Lin know Mr. Wang so well?"
"Of course, when doing crisis public relations, you always have to have a full understanding of the person you are dealing with. His files, information, and past solved cases can keep you busy all day and all night."
Lin Weilin sighed quietly and said nothing more, quietly waiting for the end of this sour press conference.
PS: I just discovered that this is February, there are only 28 days, and the book will be on the shelves on the 1st. I will try to update as many free chapters as possible.
