Chapter 23 True and False
Next to a conference room somewhere in the police station building.
Lin Weilin changed into a professional skirt and stood behind the window at the end of the corridor with her arms folded, looking at the still noisy city outside.
The self-driving vehicles that shuttle through the suspended tubes already have a safety factor that far exceeds that of human driving. However, the models of those speeding vehicles do not seem to have changed much compared to the appearance of the Earth Era.
Her expression was a little grim.
‘Do your part. ’
The corridor light cast her figure on the window, but her beautiful face didn't have much expression.
The sound of clattering footsteps sounded, and the assistant in high heels hurriedly walked over. The assistant's heavily made-up face became Lin Weilin's best foil.
"Mr. Lin, the board of directors is online, please come over immediately."
"Got it."
Lin Weilin took a deep breath, and as the breath slowly came out, his eyes became bright and a decent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took the sunglasses handed by his assistant and put them on, turned on the augmented reality function, turned and walked into the conference room .
When he opened the door, he saw an empty conference room.
What Lin Weilin saw were more than a dozen high-level officials sitting in their respective locations, physically in various cities on their home planet, but sitting in the augmented reality virtual interface.
Lin Weilin walked to the end of the conference table, folded his hands in front of him, and bowed slightly to the old man sitting quietly in front of him.
The assistant closed the door and put two stickers on the door, which greatly enhanced the sound insulation effect of these two ordinary wooden doors.
In the empty conference room, Lin Weilin took a breath and said directly:
"I apologize to everyone for my recklessness.
“But as the 23rd employee of the group, with the generous remuneration offered to me by the group, I should consider the interests of the group.
"At this moment, the police have made a key breakthrough in the case, and the server information tampered with by the murderer has been gradually recovered, but the story behind the murder is likely to become a hidden mystery.
"If there is someone planning behind this, there will definitely be more arrows shot at us in the future. The other party will continue to manipulate public opinion, causing a huge blow to our group's reputation, and even shaking the foundation of our group - the port machine market.
“The murderer deliberately mentioned the online name Wenrunruyu, the brain-simulating technology that appeared for no reason, the other party’s ability to create news, and the black hand behind these incidents that was only pushing public opinion to attack our Wei Xing Group, all have obvious directions.
"In my judgment, all signs indicate that the hidden mine is real.
"No matter who is the mastermind behind all this, the other party used brain simulation technology, manipulated public opinion, and brainwashed the two hijackers into dead soldiers. You should be able to easily conclude that once the other party's plan starts, they will never give up easily. .
"The board of directors is requested to make a decision as soon as possible, whether we should adopt active public relations countermeasures or adopt calm handling countermeasures, be prepared to give up part of the market, and wait for the subsequent weakening of online public opinion before conducting public relations processing to reverse the direction of public opinion."
< br>
She spoke these words in a leisurely and unhurried manner, speaking clearly and always looking directly at the old man sitting on the main seat.
The meeting fell into silence again.
The directors, who had not spoken since the last meeting, focused their attention on a few elderly people.
After all, directors have come and gone, and there are only three to four ‘pioneers’ who are actually at the helm of Weixing Group.
"Vina's analysis is right."
The old man on the main seat sighed softly and said slowly:
"It is obvious that there are people behind the Skyrail train hijacking case and Wen Quan's murder case, who want to take the opportunity to target our Weixing Group.
"However, you don't have to worry too much. Since we have been able to stand on our home star for so many years, we will naturally not be knocked down by wind and waves of this magnitude.
"Before the case is fully investigated, we should adopt conservative public relations measures. Right and wrong are all matters in the hearts of the people. Our Wei Xing Group has made a great contribution to the development of the virtual industry on our home planet. This is an undeniable fact. < br>
"Vina, my previous attitude toward you was a little inappropriate. I hope you don't have any emotions."
Lin Weilin immediately said: "I have overstepped. I should make countermeasures that best serve the interests of the group within the scope of the information I have access to. This is the value of the group hiring me."
"Very well, let's dismiss the meeting first," the old man waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, please maintain normal working conditions."
In the conference interface, each figure nodded and turned off their own projection.
But Lin Weilin didn't make any move, he just stood there quietly, his beautiful figure blooming like a rose in this empty conference room.
In the end, only the chairman, the old man who often appeared in the home planet's science and technology weekly - Gao Wengong Martins - faced Lin Weilin face to face.
The old man raised his hand to hold his glasses, his fingers trembling obviously.
"Vina," his voice was deliberately lowered, making Lin Weilin a little confused, "I can understand that everyone has their own curiosity, and you can exercise restraint. I really appreciate this professional attitude. .”
"Thank you, Chairman."
"Well, do you want to know what happened to the Creation Titan?"
"No," Lin Weilin said decisively, "If it were Detective Wang Ze, he might be desperate to find out the truth, but I am not."
"You spoke very well of Wang Ze. He is a very charming man, and Tianze Technology behind him also has a strong influence."
The old man babbled:
"The Sixth Star Cluster is now very dazzling among the nine star clusters. They focus on cultivating talents and have comprehensive and balanced advantages in various scientific and technological fields. This is actually a hidden danger. If the nine star clusters are imbalanced, this superficial peace will I don’t know how long it can last.
"Haha, as I get older, I have become more nagging.
"You are the young backbone I admire most, Wei Na. I believe that you have already made your own judgment about hidden thunder.
"Vina, I can reveal this to you. The clearing of the data of that game and the conscious clearing of relevant information from the entire network five years later were actually crisis public relations efforts by the group."
Gao Wengong looked into Lin Weilin's eyes:
"This is actually a drawback of black box technology. Even if we always remind users that there is a simulated world, it will have a certain impact on their thinking.
"This is what "Creation Titan" is. It is a large-scale army game. The level of war shown in it profoundly restores the weapons and equipment from the end of the Earth Era to the beginning of the Human Interstellar Era, turning the fictional planet into a battlefield. < br>
"Because of its high degree of realism, it has also achieved the feat of hundreds of thousands of players online at the same time - this is an achievement achieved in the presence of many similar competing products at the same time.
"But soon, "Creation Titan" and those games of the same type produced some terrible consequences. Some users were too deeply involved and mastered certain methods of using weapons. In addition, the black market on the home planet always had weapons from various star clusters. Arms dealers are active, the social security environment has been seriously affected, and there have been more than ten bad attacks in succession
"That's why we gradually chose to shut down the game and clear this information, which is also a kind of self-protection."
Lin Weilin's expression was a little... subtle.
Gao Wengong warned: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact."
"Of course I believe the chairman," Lin Weilin said, "Then can I prepare in advance and make a press release with this information to exaggerate that the group has made sacrifices for the sake of the stability of the home planet, and will respond to the opponent's attacks at a later stage."
"No, quite the opposite."
Gao Wengong's eyes flickered slightly:
"I need you to focus the public's attention on the case itself. If necessary, you can throw out the Eternals and Mimetic. This information will sweep away all rumors about "Creation Titan". The group will equip you with sufficient resources. .”
Lin Weilin was silent for a few seconds and nodded in agreement: "Okay Chairman, I understand what to do."
"Wang Ze has clearly refused to cooperate with our group and has placed his position on the police."
Gao Wengong said slowly:
"You didn't know the inside story before and asked Wang Ze to announce the news about "Creation Titan". I can't blame you for this, but one of your next work directions is to eliminate this information.
"If Wang Ze insists on investigating this game, you can take any necessary measures to stop him. You must be flexible and use your own advantages. Wei Na, as long as you complete this work, I will give you a ticket to the board of directors. , and will also give you a bonus that will make you worry-free for the rest of your life.”
"But the chairman..."
Lin Weilin naturally understood what the old man meant, made some calculations, and whispered:
"If information related to brain-inspired technology is released, it will increase users' panic and cause users to lose trust in the network environment, which will have a huge impact on our operations."
"That's not something you should consider, Vina. The focus of your work is to let as few people as possible pay attention to "Creation Titan"."
Gao Wengong spoke slowly, but his voice carried a sense of majesty that could not be refuted.
"Yes, Chairman, I will not let you down."
Lin Weilin nodded solemnly.
The old man pressed the button on the table and disappeared from the virtual conference room.
Lin Weilin stood quietly for a while, took off his glasses, looked down at his chest, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
own advantages.
……
【01:32:52】
In Interrogation Room No. 3, Wang Ze sat in the corner and looked at Lin Xiaoxia, who was sitting on the interrogation chair without saying a word.
It's been ten minutes, and Wang Ze didn't speak, just sitting by.
The interrogation process continued. Two female police officers rotated every hour to launch an interrogation offensive against Lin Xiaoxia, constantly putting pressure on Lin Xiaoxia's spirit.
He Qiu has already begun preparing a virtual interrogation room.
If Lin Xiaoxia is still silent at the last hour of the countdown, the virtual interrogation room with its "illusion of time passing speed" will be their emergency means to find a breakthrough in Lin Xiaoxia.
The server recovery information showed Lin Xiaoxia's new alibi, but Lin Xiaoxia was also suspected of committing the crime.
The two police officers continued to persuade them earnestly:
"Lin Xiaoxia, your attitude will only push yourself into the abyss. The consequences of refusing to cooperate will not only increase difficulties for yourself, but also cause great harm to society."
"Now that it's reached this point, what's the point of carrying it?"
"We have obtained enough evidence to prove your involvement in this murder..."
"You two," Wang Ze suddenly said, "can you let me be alone with her."
The two female police officers looked at each other and looked at the small screen in front of them. Deputy Director Gong Tianzheng on it nodded to them.
"Mr. Wang, we are right outside the door."
Wang Ze smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything drastic."
Two policewomen opened the door and went out.
Lin Xiaoxia couldn't help but look up at Wang Ze, then immediately lowered her head to avoid looking into Wang Ze's eyes, holding her left index finger with her right hand.
Wang Ze pulled his chair forward and sat half a meter away from Lin Xiaoxia.
"You are actually reluctant to let Wen Quan die, right?"
Lin Xiaoxia's body trembled slightly, but she just lowered her head and refused to raise her head.
Wang Zedao: "I have applied for an autopsy. Although the autopsy process has not yet been approved, I can already roughly guess what kind of murder weapon it is. It is a simple electromagnetic pulse device that can be easily assembled with accessories, right? ”
Lin Xiaoxia pinched her index finger until it turned white.
Wang Ze was silent for a few seconds and then said: "I was actually wondering if it was possible that the hand that killed Wen Quan grew on Wen Quan's body."
There was nothing strange about Lin Xiaoxia's expression.
Wang Ze’s voice became more relaxed:
"Of course, there are several possibilities here, whether he was coerced or voluntary, whether he was conscious at the time or under control... And you, no matter whether Wenquan committed suicide or was murdered, , you are all facilitators.
"You have committed a crime, do you understand?"
"I don't know what you are talking about," Lin Xiaoxia responded in a low voice.
"Then let me restore what you did before and after the incident." (End of Chapter)
