Chapter 1693: Fat Ricky
"Okay, I see. You're sure there's no problem, and we're on. Lin Rui replied in a low voice. Then he glanced at the shogun, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
Jiang An took out the electronic access card at the door, swiped the door, and walked in with Lin Rui. An armed guard immediately stopped them, "Do you need any help?"
He said this very politely, but in fact, there was no intention of help on his face, but his face was full of vigilance.
Jiang An and Lin Rui showed him their documents, and the guard nodded after reading it. "Who are you looking for?"
"Professor Ricky, he should be here, right?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Ricky, of course, that fat guy from the communications lab. The guard nodded, "On the left side of the third floor, do you have any reservations?"
"Yes. Lin Rui replied.
The guard looked at the tablet in his hand, nodded, and said, "Oh, I found it." You do have an appointment, so see you soon. The guards didn't ask much questions, they just turned and left.
"Looks like I'm right, maybe we'll have a good idea this time. Lin Rui nodded.
"Don't be too optimistic just yet. Jiang Jian said in a low voice. "That Ricky doesn't know if he's going to help us yet. ”
"As long as we meet, it's up to him whether he wants to or not. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
Shogan smiled, "That's right." We can't deal with hordes of federal agents, and we can't deal with a single technician, but I hope to get this done by peaceful means, so as not to cause trouble for our follow-up. ”
"That's what I thought, too. Lin Rui said in a low voice. After they went upstairs, Lin Rui lowered his head and said, "Damn, there are cameras everywhere here, we won't be recognized, right?" I don't want to keep a low profile all morning, but in the end my identity was revealed by facial recognition software." ”
"Rest assured, boss, the surveillance system is under my remote control. Cobain whispered. "Otherwise, it's really hard to say. There may be information about you and Shogishi on the computer, but I can avoid that. Just now I took control of the alarm system through an implanted applet. It's very hidden, but if someone notices something is wrong with you and tries to raise the alarm, I'll be the first to know. So you can do it with confidence. ”
"What should I say?" Lin Rui shrugged, he walked to a large room in front of him and stopped, "Communication Lab, will that Ricky be in there?"
"You'll only know if you go in and see. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
They pushed open the door and entered, and quickly followed the sign on the door to Ricky's office. Ricky was already waiting for them, the white man looked a little fat and in his forties. And I don't seem to like their visit very much.
"Oh, you're here? I just found out today that there is an appointment on my schedule. You know I'm too busy, and the assistant who helps me with my schedule is an idiot. But I'd better not tell him, because I don't want this only idiot to strike too. Ricky sighed and said, "Are you really from the bureau's public relations department?"
"Uh, yes. Lin Rui smiled, he touched his face, "The bureau believes that if there are Asian faces in public relations, it will help improve the public image." ”
"That's just as well. Tell me, what are you two looking for me?" Ricky frowned.
"We need you to help us look up a phone number. Kishi took out the piece of paper and placed it on the table.
Ricky took it, looked at it, shook his head and said, "The prepaid mobile phone looks like it should be untraceable." Since you've come to me, you've probably looked for someone else before. My answer and theirs are the same, can't be traced. I'm sorry I can't help you anymore. ”
"But that's not what we're getting from you, Professor, you can trace the call. I mean, through the prism. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Listen to the agent, I don't know where you heard this, but I have to tell you. Project Prism has been canceled, and even I can't do anything with this system anymore. Ricky shook his head.
"We know, but we also know that it's just official rhetoric, and we don't have to hide it from each other, and we know that the monitoring system that Project Prism has set up is still working, not only is it not out of service, but there have been several exciting updates in recent months. Now we're more efficient. Lin Rui looked at him and said.
"Well, since you all know, why are you coming to me?! As you can see, I'm a faculty here, and a communications designer like me was put here to teach those agents how to use basic communication protocols.
I have designed an outstanding and efficient monitoring system for them. But their abuse caused me to resign from the company and have to come here as a teaching staff. Everybody, knowing that I designed that surveillance system, accused me of being a wiretapper, a mail voyeur, an accomplice of the U.S. government, disrespectful to individuals*, and serious integrity issues. Fat Ricky said angrily. "But I didn't it, I did it with guys like you. I'm just a technician, not an eavesdropper, you are. Aren't you looking for someone else to take care of now, and why are you coming to me for something?"
"No, wait, I don't quite understand......" Lin Rui was stunned for a while, he frowned, "You mean you're not in charge of this system now?"
"Of course, I'm gone. Ricky shook his head and said strangely, "It's been more than three months since they found someone to replace me, and you don't even know yet? Are you federal agents?"
"yes, uh. But you know that we are a public relations department, and we are responsible for dealing with the outside world, and this kind of thing is not known to the outside world, and naturally we don't need to be informed. Shogishi sighed, "The storm caused by the prism eavesdropping plan is big enough. ”
"That's right, we're all just employees in the bureau. Ricky shook his head.
"But technically, you can still help us find out where this phone is, right?" Lin Rui looked at him and said.
"Of course. But you really shouldn't be looking for me. Ricky shook his head.
"But the professor is already here, and it will be a hassle if we need to go back to the headquarters to find other leaders. It's a two-hour drive back and forth. You see if you can help, it's not really complicated for you. But it helped us a lot. Lin Rui said very seriously.
Ricky looked at him, then at Shogi, "Well, if you look up an address." Nothing was a problem. I actually still have access to the prism system, because the fool who succeeded me can't do it at all, and I still have to deal with a lot of things. Leave it to me, you should have no problem checking just one phone. ”
