Chapter 36 Black Envelope
Taking off his enhanced glasses, Wang Ze felt that the light in front of him was a little too strong.
His eyes were completely white, there was a buzzing in his ears, and it became a little difficult to breathe.
"Boss...Boss?"
A youthful and agile female voice broke into the ear.
Wang Ze winked hard and took a deep breath. His vision began to return to normal, and the white spots gradually shrank.
Qi Ming's face had filled his sight, and he was nervously observing Wang Ze's condition.
From her perspective, Wang Ze's face was covered with sweat, and he was slumped on the sofa. He couldn't breathe for a few seconds just now.
"Get me some warm water," Wang Ze said weakly.
Qi Ming quickly agreed. When he ran to the bar, he bumped into the corner of the coffee table and grimaced in pain.
Several police officers in the same room also noticed something strange about Wang Ze and hurriedly came forward to greet him.
Wang Ze indicated that he was fine, took a few deep breaths, and his expression gradually recovered.
Qi Ming trotted over to bring water. She had already remembered the advice of the second boss of the office and asked in a low voice: "Boss, is it specific vertigo?"
"Well, thank you," Wang Ze's hands were still shaking when he took the water glass. "It occasionally occurs when logging into the augmented reality interface. It's not a big problem."
Buzz!
The square-shaped network access terminal trembled again, and a third black envelope jumped out.
Wang Ze didn't look much. He threw his phone aside, got up and walked to the bathroom.
"Xiao Qi, keep an eye on public opinion."
"Okay boss!"
Qi Ming looked at Wang Ze's back with some worry.
Several police officers inside the house asked if there was anything they could do to help, but Qi Ming politely declined.
Two minutes ago.
At the press conference, Wang Ze revealed that the murder weapon was Lin Xiaoxia's old somatosensory suit. The ghost was silent for a few seconds and withdrew his palm that had reached towards the projection ball.
'You got it right. ’
The ghost said with a bit of surprise: 'I obviously didn't leave you any obvious clues, how did you think of it? ’
Wang Ze just said: ‘Good luck, I got it right. ’
‘Confused? ’ It was a little surprised.
‘Can it be announced? ’ Wang Ze asked, ‘Isn’t the current public opinion hot enough? ’
The ghost looked at Wang Ze deeply, then shook his head:
‘Then you go ahead and cover yourself up again… You have three hours, oh no, less than three hours.
‘The three letters I am giving you now are three logical fragments sent to you. They are not complete. You can only piece together the outline of this story, and there are three core logical fragments. I will use them as our bets in the second half.
'Mr. Wang, you are from the Sixth Star Cluster. You don't have to bear too much pressure whether the virtual industry of your home star is destroyed or not. If you lose in the second half of noon, I will release this virus in the cities of the home star. This will not matter. will have any impact on you.
'Actually, my story is not complicated. All the clues have already appeared in your sight. ’
After saying this, the ghost left.
Black mist surged around it, and the remaining black projection balls emitted weak arcs at the same time, then lost power and fell to the ground.
The ghostly figure disappeared in the flicker, and the entire press conference fell into dead silence.
The remote viewers looked at the interface that suddenly turned black. After a second or two, most of them started to switch to groups, forums, video sites, and black box games.
The number of people online in Liming Street continues to rise, but the main way for players to log in to Liming Street has changed from port access to mobile device login.
Qi Ming has skillfully opened several major portals on her home planet and began to keep an eye on the changes in public opinion.
The boss's cell phone is nearby, with three letters from the ghost inside.
Those three black envelopes seemed to have some magic power, which made Qi Ming always want to take a look... And the boss gave her assistant permission, so she could call up some of the information records on this phone...
Qi Ming's sinful palm was ready to move, but she quickly twisted the back of her right hand, calmed down her mood, and observed the trends of public opinion everywhere.
What else could happen?
At a glance, the most popular posts were about the conversation between Ghost and Wang Ze during the live broadcast of the press conference, while most of the comments were attacking Wei Xing Group.
[The ghost said that he was just an evil spirit who wanted Wei Xing Group to die. This clearly meant that he was one of the victims and stood up to resist. 】
[Weixing Group’s press conference has become a ghost conference. I don’t dare to log in to Liming Street. 】
[Weixing Group's headquarters was bombed, the entire building's reality augmentation system was destroyed, the underground server group was paralyzed, and direct losses were estimated to be over one billion Star Coins. 】
[If the ghost is righteous, what role do we onlookers play? 】
[Rational analysis: Detective Wang Ze’s deduction process about the murder weapon in Wen Quan’s case. 】
…
Qi Ming browsed these hot posts quickly, but found that the speed at which he read them was not as fast as the updates of these hot posts.
The Weixing Group’s methods of controlling public opinion have completely failed;
All major portals are harvesting this huge traffic.
The competitors of Weixing Group are also adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes at this moment. They can only watch from the other side and calculate their own gains and losses.
The ghost appeared in front of the defense forces and left them helpless. This gave these technology companies an accurate hunch that Wei Xing Group should be in big trouble this time.
"Mr. Wang!"
Zhao Dafu's voice came from the door.
The chief technician of Weixing Group ran in in a hurry. He was slightly startled when he saw Qi Ming on the sofa, and asked quickly: "Where is Mr. Wang?"
Qi Ming pointed to the bathroom.
"I'm going back to the research institute in Xinye right away," Zhao Dafu's lips were a little purple, he took a few deep breaths and whispered, "Please tell Mr. Wang, if you can delay it at noon, please delay it longer. We found some traces of the ghost, and the source of his signal doesn’t seem to be on the surface.”
"Not on the surface?" Qi Ming was a little confused.
Zhao Dafu nodded solemnly:
"Yes, things are finally getting better! I'll go back to the institute first and have a decisive battle with this ghost at noon!
"I estimate that we are in big trouble this time. Users have begun to question the capabilities of our Weixin technical team, but it also depends on whether Ghost can come up with more explosive news."
Qi Ming pursed her lips and nodded. Zhao Dafu hurriedly added Qi Ming as a friend and rushed to the underground garage without stopping.
He still remembered that he promised to pass on a few small plug-ins to Qi Ming.
As soon as Zhao Dafu left, dense and rapid footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door.
He Chou and several veteran police officers rushed in first, followed by Lin Weilin and two assistants.
There are dozens of staff in the corridor, including several technical experts from the home planet defense force.
Wang Ze was in the bathroom, so they couldn't force his way in.
He Chou's face was livid at the moment. The ghost made him feel very uncomfortable. This press conference made him somewhat depressed.
Lin Weilin was quite calm and had no sense of frustration.
She had warned the board that holding this press conference might cause a public relations disaster, but the board felt that the Homeworld Defense Force could be trusted.
She has done what she should do and is worthy of this salary.
"Huh?"
The defense force spokesman, Hao Renjia, saw the mobile phone on the sofa at this moment, smiled kindly at Qi Ming, and asked warmly:
"Is the black letter displayed above sent to Mr. Wang by the ghost?"
"Yes," Qi Ming explained, "Mr. Wang felt a little uncomfortable after taking off his augmentation glasses and did not have time to read these three letters."
He Chou, Lin Weilin, and several police officers moved forward at the same time, staring at Wang Ze's cell phone.
Under this situation, Qi Ming felt that her heartbeat had slowed down by half a beat; but she still stretched out her hand, moved the phone under her skirt, and smiled dryly at the three of them.
He Qiugan coughed and tried to change the subject: "The ghost didn't release any more viruses."
"At the moment, no," Lin Weilin said softly, "but the threat is too great."
Lin Weilin looked at Hao Renjia, but Hao Renjia just shook his head and whispered:
"We have mobilized all conventional forces, but have been unable to find traces of the ghost brain. Are you sure it uses brain-like technology? Our search scope has covered all regional networks on the home planet."
"He will still appear at noon," He Qiu said in a deep voice. "If we have no way to deal with it, we might as well use the Human Civilization Homestar Defense Convention to request technical assistance from other star clusters."
"It's too late," Hao Renjia said. "Issuing an application for assistance requires approval from the Home Star Council and the Defense Force General Headquarters. This process takes at least half a day."
He Qiu frowned and said, "Can't you disconnect from the Internet for a while?"
Lin Weilin asked: "A global network outage? Captain He has considered how much economic loss this will cause?"
"The ghost is obviously looking for Detective Wang Ze," Hao Renjia suddenly said, "We can apply to disconnect the Pearl Harbor City from the Internet for a few hours. Compared with the turmoil caused by the ghost, this is actually a bearable consequence."

Click.
The bathroom door opens.
You can hear a pin drop in the room.
Wang Ze nodded to the room full of guests, walked back to the sofa, and said slowly: "You can have a meeting to discuss these matters later, and I will try my best to cooperate."
Lin Weilin tried his best to smile, although the smile was very forced: "Mr. Wang, thank you for showing up in time to let us..."
"Old Wang!" He Qiu muttered, "Last question, are you really deceived?"
"How could it be blinded?"
Wang Ze leaned on the hard sofa and exhaled softly:
"This murder weapon is very similar to a case I handled before.
"The damage area in Wenquan's brain was not large, but the bullet that shot him successfully broke through the skull. The result given by the forensic doctor was still a contact shot.
"Take energy bullets, also known as gunpowder bullets, as an example. For this kind of shooting that is close to the skin, the bullet's entry port will fit the diameter of the bullet, but the other side must be radioactive and explosive.
"But Wen Quan's fatal injury was not. The bullet could penetrate the skull, but it did not cause much damage inside Wen Quan's skull. This shows that the bullet itself did not have much initial kinetic energy.
"Based on these, combined with all the objects found in Wen Quan's house that may constitute weapons, I have two reasonable speculations. The first speculation is the answer you gave to the ghost, something similar to the murder weapon in the hijacking case."
Wang Ze looked at He Chou.
He Qiu was startled for a moment, then he laughed dumbly: "Relationship, have I ruled out options for you?"
“We actually took two chances.”
Wang Ze smiled and said:
"When I was hesitant between these two options, you spoke up and helped a lot.
"Actually, I'm more inclined to the answer you mentioned. In the report you gave me to the police station next door, there was a material analysis of the hijacker's murder weapon. The material of this weapon is similar to the composition of human bones, but the molecular structure has been improved. In order to achieve greater strength, existing scanners detect them as animal bones and can successfully cover up the electronic components within them
"The power of this weapon can be finely adjusted, and it can be melted within a few minutes. Lin Xiaoxia has enough time to process it and then mix it into some hidden liquid."
Wang Ze seemed to be in a good mood and came to chat at this time:
"Of course, the ghost has given us the answer, which is the second possibility.
"The body-sensing suit is in the corner of Lin Xiaoxia's left closet. To be precise, the murder weapon is the detachable battery pack and muscle patch on the body-sensing suit.
"At the time of the crime, the battery pack and patch on the somatosensory suit formed a simple electromagnetic ejection device. The bullets they used should be warm blood clots wrapped in extremely thin anti-metal fiber membranes. These only require a craniotomy and autopsy. can be verified
"——Obviously, the excessive and useless protection provided by the laws of the home planet for the corpses of the deceased is also a loophole they exploited.
"In addition to these things, there should be a special substance, some kind of chemical agent that can soften bones. The residual liquid of the chemical agent may be in Lin Xiaoxia's nutrient bin waste box.
"As for why the bullet holes are inconsistent offline and online... I have been troubled by this problem for a long time. Now it seems that they may have deliberately left a loophole to prevent the police from closing the case hastily.
"But none of this matters anymore."
Wang Ze's expression was a little disappointed:
"There are no murders on the home planet, and there are no secret room killings. There are only a ghost who set up a conspiracy, a few fanatics who ended their lives, and some rats that have not yet appeared.
“This trip was not a pleasant experience.”
"Okay!" He Chou frowned, "Stop complaining here, I'll apply for a subsidy for you! Read these three letters quickly!"
Lin Weilin also said: "Mr. Wang has helped the mother planet a lot..."
Wang Ze raised his head and looked at Lin Weilin. He didn't look back until there was some confusion in her eyes.
"Let's join together, the clues left by the ghost, the three logical puzzle pieces about the truth behind the Creation Titan."
Wang Ze turned on the projection function of his mobile phone and pointed at the black envelope he first received.
The first letter jumped to the center of the projection screen, and a video popped out. (End of chapter)
