Chapter 25 The Second Case
In the interrogation room.
Wang Ze stared at the numbers that stopped beating on the projection screen of his mobile phone, and his heartbeat seemed to slow down by half a beat.
Lin Xiaoxia was still in the stage of emotional breakdown. At this moment, she was just sobbing softly and did not notice the strangeness in the projection in front of her.
The monitoring room is quiet;
The air in the corridor seemed to have solidified;
The entire police building seemed to have pressed the pause button.
What's going on?
Wang Ze slowly picked up his cube-shaped mobile phone and looked at the countdown that suddenly returned to zero.
Was it because Lin Xiaoxia had an emotional breakdown that the murderer acted in advance?
Or maybe Director Zhao of the Technical Department made a breakthrough, which forced the murderer to take action in advance?
But no matter what, the murderer ending the countdown early can be regarded as a sign that he has some initiative.
Buzz! Buzz!
Wang Ze's phone vibrated continuously, and three messages popped up in a row, all from Qi Ming.
Before Wang Ze could click on the message, the door of the interrogation room was knocked open by He Qiu. Several police officers with guns and ammunition swarmed up and protected Wang Ze, looking around him warily.
"Disconnect the Internet first?" He Chou asked seriously.
Wang Ze was slightly dumbfounded: "What are you doing?"
"Protect you."
Wang Ze didn't say much, he casually opened the message from Qi Ming, and his eyes paused for a few seconds.
The teammate of the regular team who was drunk alone and as gentle as jade was the second victim in the hijacking case.
Wang Ze's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, and his eyes narrowed.
At this moment, he felt as if he had reached some absurd answer.
"What's wrong? You suddenly look so bad. Do you feel uncomfortable?"
He Qiu was very nervous at the moment, fearing that Wang Ze would have something wrong with him, "Don't hide anything if you feel uncomfortable!"
"I'm fine, let's go out and talk."
Wang Ze responded, glanced at Lin Xiaoxia who was sobbing with her head lowered, stood up and followed He Chou out of the interrogation room.
With a soft click, the door of the interrogation room closed tightly;
The two female police officers continued Wang Ze's previous strategy and looked for a breakthrough in Lin Xiaoxia.
"One piece of good news and one piece of bad news," Wang Ze whispered. "The good news is that we have found a teammate who is as gentle as jade, the one who seeks drunkenness alone. The bad news is... he is dead."
"Dead?"
"Palace Bureau! Team He!"
The young police officer at the monitoring station suddenly raised his head and interrupted the conversation between Wang Ze and He Chou.
"The dispatch hall just received a report. Someone was killed in the game world! In reality, he died on the port device!"
He Chou and Wang Ze looked at each other, and the former turned and rushed towards the corridor.
Wang Ze did not rush to catch up. Instead, he picked up his cell phone and started to contact Qi Ming on the phone.
……
About three minutes later.
Four police hover vehicles flew out of the police building, got into a suspended pipe, and rushed towards the northeast of the city.
In the police car at the front, Wang Ze squeezed beside two strong police officers and looked at the photos of the scene projected by He Qiu.
Patrol officers have already rushed over and completed initial protection of the scene.
"The case occurred on the seventh floor below the Black Yao Entertainment City," He Qiu quickly summarized the existing information. "There is not much information yet. The deceased's name is Zhang Li. When the murder occurred, he was connected to the machine through the shared port of the entertainment city. Enter the black box game
"Looking at it now, this case has many similarities with the Liming Street murder case.
"It's still the same ghost, this time appearing directly in the game world inside the black box.
"Zhang Li's game character panicked after seeing the ghost.
"But this time, the ghost did not use a gun. Instead, it grabbed the heart of Zhang Li's game character through the air. With a strong squeeze, Zhang Li's game character's heart exploded. In reality... Zhang Li's heart stopped beating and his brain died almost at the same time. ”
"Are there any in-game videos?" Wang Ze asked.
He Qiu immediately said: "It has appeared on the homepages of major websites and forums, but the authenticity cannot be confirmed yet, and the technical department is checking it.
"Director Zhao is leading a group of technical backbones to locate the murderer's traces on the surface network and find the location of the opponent's simulated brain. The simulated brain needs a large server to ensure computing power.
"Old Wang, what do you think?"
"This ghost's plan may have just begun," Wang Ze muttered, opening a forum-style portal.
Hot posts on the homepage are constantly refreshed in seconds.
Countless traffic poured into the murder case that just broke out. The ghosts that appeared in the game were recorded by players from multiple cameras and angles. New screenshots and videos continued to appear on the surface network.
Wang Ze quickly browsed several hot posts.
"Lao He, do you think Wei Xing Group can suppress such hot news?"
"It can't be suppressed, it certainly can't be suppressed," He Qiu said decisively, "After the fermentation of Wen Quan's case, it has already caused discussion on the entire Internet. Now that this ghost has appeared again, it can directly ignite people's curiosity."
Wang Zedao: "After curiosity, panic should come."
"What panic?"
"Port device, network world, the deceased Zhang Li was playing a black box game at the time. The basic principle of the black box game is to be independent and not subject to external interference, and the ghost can come in and out freely."
Wang Ze looked out the car window, and the lights in the suspended passage passed backwards, swaying out a trail.
Wang Zedao: "Looking at it now, the murderer not only kills people, he or the gang behind him wants to bring down the Wei Xing Group.
"I didn't have time to tell you just now. The second teammate who was as gentle as jade and sought drunkenness alone was the second victim of the Skytrain hijacking case, the old man, Zheng Wenzheng."
"Is there still such a thing?"
He Chou slowly picked up his two thick arms and fell into thought.
Several police hover vehicles began to slow down, and they quickly drove out of the dedicated road and fell towards the somewhat crowded road on the ground.
He Chou muttered: "Good guy, let's do this one by one and use human lives to defeat Weixing Group."
"I have asked Qi Ming to verify the authenticity of this clue," Wang Zedao, "If the news is true, those two cases... and the murder case that just happened, the three cases can be investigated together."
"What does this ghost think of human life?" He Chou cursed a few foul words.
"Old He, the more we get now, the more we have to carefully screen all kinds of information. Now the clues are gradually increasing, and the other party's true purpose should soon surface. It may be a ghost controlling humans, or... someone may be framing it. A ghost.”
While speaking, Wang Ze covered his neck.
Every high-intensity work will cause minor problems in his cervical spine.
Wang Ze suddenly thought of Lin Weilin.
I don’t know if she successfully negotiated with the board of directors of Weixing Group;
A certain truth related to "Creation Titan" is likely to be the real key clue to these three cases.
……
"Mr. Lin! Information leakage from three more portals has exploded!"
"The marketing director of the old forum rejected the price we offered, saying that they cannot delete posts now, as that would cause too many users to be lost."
In a conference room on the lower floor of the police building.
Lin Weilin had a stern expression and stared at the projection screen in front of him without blinking. More than a dozen assistants continued to report on the progress.
In several major cities on the home planet, there are teams of more than 300 people executing the instructions just sent by Lin Weilin.
Lin Weilin was in a very bad mood.
Because Wang Ze kept reminding him that the countdown was probably the murderer's countdown to committing another crime.
Therefore, Lin Weilin had formulated a public relations plan before.
But no one expected that the defense early warning system established by Weixing Group in conjunction with several network security companies had no effect at all!
The murderer appeared, killed someone, and then disappeared!
Director Zhao was leading people to track down the murderer, and the police were rushing to the scene. Internet public opinion was directly detonated. The whole process took less than ten minutes!
Lin Weilin picked up the watch, hesitated for a moment, and then opened a group with only a few senior employees and calmly made arrangements:
"Execute planned plan three.
"I would like to emphasize again that our core goal is to do our best to prevent homicides from causing users to panic about the online world.
"According to the information that has been obtained, the second case occurred on a shared port machine in a public place in the entertainment city. It can be considered from the perspective that there are many network vulnerabilities in public places and the shared port machine is easily modified.
"Remember to contact a few relevant experts and come out to talk about how safe the current network technology is."
With a whoosh, the encrypted voice message was sent directly.
Almost only two seconds apart, several senior employees in the group responded at the same time.
Lin Weilin looked at the assistant aside: "Are you ready for the draft about brain-inspired technology?"
"Mr. Lin is ready, you can roll it out at any time."
"Well, don't worry, wait for my news, and remember to remind the media not to mention the Eternals in the manuscript, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"The note has been added."
Lin Weilin didn't say anything more. She randomly selected a news site and began to carefully observe the trend of public opinion.
She was a little yearning for the information cocoon era of the Earth Era written in the history books.
At that time, it was much easier to guide public opinion than it is today.
"Mr. Lin!"
An assistant took off his sunglasses and looked a little flustered.
Lin Weilin frowned and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"We just got feedback from the group. The sales department here at Pearl Harbor has just verified that the port equipment used by that entertainment city was the murder case that just occurred. The deceased was using our latest sensory helmet product of Wei Xing.
"Their main selling point is... there is no risk to property when changing accounts... security..."
Lin Weilin's expression froze.

There is currently no way to expose the short story. If you think it is good, you can recommend it to your friends. Thank you for leaving it here.
