Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiantang. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the city shrouded in the twilight snow, and the streets are full of silence.

The return of migrant workers has halved the city's population. The only sound source in every household may just be the TV playing the Spring Festival Gala.

There is no online video this year, and watching the Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Year's Eve is still the norm. Most of the shops on the street are closed, there is no Taobao, and there is no Xiaoer who still has to take orders in the Chinese New Year's Eve.

However, there is still a group of dedicated people, busy in the dark.

In a community in the west of the city, a peasant house converted from an "urban village" was rented to a group of unknown people. Each compartment in the building has applied for 2M ADSL broadband in a separate name, like a telecom company. In the end, the people of Telecom tried to save trouble, and after communicating with the landlord, they directly pulled a 50M over, and the back-end was at the disposal of it.

Anyway, as long as a lot of money is given to the telecom company, the telecom is too lazy to care about the details.

The room was brightly lit, and a group of mixed people dressed in simple clothes gathered around a large table to drink and chat. Looking at what they are wearing, people who don't know the truth must think that there must be enough heating in the house, which is similar to the ** heating in the north.

In reality, there was no heating in the house. The heat emitted by the rows of server cabinets is enough to make the house warm like spring.

A lean, bald head blew a bottle of snow beer, grabbed two pieces of pork head meat and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it a few times. Before swallowing, I picked up the chopsticks again, picked a pinch of the soup dripping Mao Xuewang, and didn't pick out the chili peppers and peppercorns stuck on it, so I swallowed the soup without fear of spicy.

While eating, the lean bald head wiped his mouth with a web of paper, and greeted a calmer man with glasses next to him casually:

"Happy. Boss, our buddies are the most dedicated people in the world. Chinese New Year's Eve has to manage the server, and the customer service has to talk about deducting orders - what industry has us fighting so hard?"

The man with glasses doesn't seem to have a very good appetite, but he keeps smoking. Listening to his buddy's greeting, he shook the ashes of his cigarette: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not busy with you, you still have good food and drink, and you still have three times your salary, and your commission is as usual." What is there to complain about. ”

The bald face shrank, and he smiled awkwardly: "I just said casually, who doesn't know that the boss is righteous and is for our good - I heard Xiao Fang say just now that her commission today is more than 5 times higher than usual, and the list is soft." It makes me envious of the customer service who does maintenance.

However, the purchasing power of those elementary school students after getting the New Year's money is really not covered. If we don't help them find a place to spend their money, they will either be accepted by their parents or deceived by other scammers in the blink of an eye. ”

In the back room, in front of a row of computers, men and women with little technology sat there, staring at the screen while eating, just like the Taobao children who would appear in two years.

The man with glasses didn't say anything about his younger brother's verbosity, he knew that the gang just drank too much and stirred up some nostalgia, and he couldn't take care of it.

Suddenly, there was a sound of cars outside, followed by many pillars of light sweeping around, the man with glasses and the bald head were suddenly alert, and several other technical maintenance personnel also stood up.

"It's not going to happen, is it?" a rookie who hadn't been here for a long time was flustered and almost lost his hand.

But soon, a more senior old fritter helped the boss stabilize people's hearts: "What are you afraid of, the police station is not qualified to take care of this kind of thing, not to mention that the boss is all porcelain." There is no legal basis for the economic investigation team in the district to manage this matter. Let's hurry up and talk about the deductions of the business, and the zombie master control organ has been dropped. ”

They had encountered this kind of scan a few times, but in the end, it was all a little bit of blood and it passed. In the final analysis, it is still the benefit of drinking saliva - until now, the law has always adhered to the characterization of "game equipment is not considered property". There are too many blind spots.

There was a banging knock on the door, the man with glasses gave a look, and after the younger brothers confirmed that the evidence of direct sale of stolen goods was turned off, they opened the door obediently.

Someone asked, just say that we are doing "data services", and how many times have we mixed up.

"All hands up, don't move! City Bureau Economic Investigation - Detachment!"

A well-ranked detective entered the house surrounded by a group of police officers and ordered his men to start checking.

The man with glasses looked cold, touched the thick gold in his arms, and showed a look of regret.

Looks like it's going to bleed again. How can the investigators now manage so leniently and always cross the line?

"Sir, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding here? We are engaged in Internet data services, and the relevant legal basis for this is ......."

However, he didn't have a chance to finish, and the other party didn't give him a chance to touch the money privately. After some searching, he retrieved the buckle number used by the machine, and then made a phone call to ask Tengyun Company to call up all the chat records of these accounts on the server side.

A few minutes later, the glasses man and his gang were taken away.

……

Twenty minutes later, the interrogation room of the Municipal Economic Investigation Detachment.

"Bang~", two high-brightness spotlight metal halide lamps on the left and right were lit up in front of the man with glasses, so he had to try to raise his hand to block it. But as soon as he pulled it, he remembered that his hand was fixed to the interrogation chair with adhesive tape, and he couldn't move.

"Name!"

"Du Ming. ”

"Career!"

"Head of the data services company. ”

"Career!"

"Head of a data service company!"

The agent, who had asked the same question twice in a row, was impatient. He pushed away the recorder next to him, walked out from behind the table, walked up to Du Ming, and picked his chin with a glue stick.

Then asked seriously: "It's better to be honest, you have a big deal, and it is not something that a small fish and shrimp like you can bear at all." The theft of game equipment involves a huge amount of money, and we have every right to investigate and deal with it as a 'crime of illegal operation'. ”

The crime of "illegal business operation" is a good thing.

Since the Criminal Law of '97 abolished the crime of "speculation" in the era of planned economy, which was known as the all-powerful crime of "speculation", the crime of "illegal business operation" has carried the banner of extrajudicial punishment in the economic field in the era of rule of law. All forms of crime that cannot be summarized by other specific crimes in the category of "crimes that endanger society and pay attention to the order of the market economy" are all covered by the crime of "illegal business operation".

However, if the investigator can "generalize" a new type of business form into an "illegal business" without authorization, then the person who does it must also be extraordinary.

Du Ming is doing this kind of business, the way of nature, he sucks the energy of the target. Cold sweat had gradually appeared on his forehead, and he seemed to know that the person who was dealing with him had opened some of the upper joints and got the policy.

He could only struggle one last time: "I don't know if my people have ever done such a thing as 'stealing game gear'. However, I would like to say that the Supreme People's Court's previous explanation is still questionable about whether 'electronic data is property' - I want to see my lawyer!"

The interrogator smiled: "The net profit of the previous year that people just reported was reported at 100 million.5, and the corporate income tax was paid more than 30 million yuan - and a new enterprise with an annual income of tens of millions and millions of tax returns was jointly signed together." Do you think that when your case goes to justice, the explanation will still be what you say?"

"Sir, as far as I know, the law does not apply retroactively. Even if you cultivate the Fa, you won't be able to control the original thing. It's a big deal, and I'm not going to do it anymore. ”

However, the guy who was sent to deal with Du Ming today is obviously not a straw bag, and he is also very knowledgeable. In the face of the suspect's defense, the interrogator said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "It is good that the law is not retroactive, but legislative interpretations and judicial interpretations can be retroactive. The reinterpretation of existing laws and legal concepts can be retrospective. ”

After this sentence, the interrogator sat back in his place and finally gave a warning: "Remember, it is definitely not a small fish and shrimp like you that you have to deal with. If you cooperate with us to obtain evidence to find out who is behind the scenes, you may be dealt with leniently. Yours...... In some cases, it may also be ...... There was negligence. ”

"Also, we didn't record just now, now on, the official recording, you'd better think it through. ”

There was little resistance to the rest.

Du Ming is a master's degree graduate of Qianjiang University, who studied computer science as an undergraduate, and later took the interdisciplinary master's degree in law, which is considered a comprehensive talent. It's a pity that the cold winter of the Internet has frustrated his original business plan, and he started this business with insufficient capital.

Compared with other peers, he is still very aware of the situation. Half an hour later, he felt he had said everything he had to say.

The materials were also secretly copied and sent to the lead party behind the scenes to investigate the case.

This is a "big customer", Director Li of the Local Taxation Bureau personally went to Mayor Qiu to explain the situation, and then entrusted it to the economic investigation.

……

"Tut-tut, take gray pigeons, botnets, and upgrade trojan tools from Lao Zhou, which are used for number theft and illegal trading of game equipment. He also personally wrote the 'Legendary' Piercing/Piercing Wall Plug-in, and shared the plug-in sales channel with other peers......"

When Du Ming's interrogation results were in the hands of Gu Cheng and Lei Jun, the two of them also felt that the prey caught this time was quite passable, and it was at the level of "first-class dealer" or "regional dealer" under Zhou Hongyi.

Gu Cheng pondered for a moment and said coldly: "Then according to the original plan, let him stabilize and pretend that nothing happened." After Park Young-gwan set up a server-side program for private use and sold it to him, he will be our tainted witness throughout the whole process. ”

"Okay, it's not that difficult. Lei Jun straightened his thinning hair and echoed easily.

This matter is a top secret for Legendary Entertainment, so in addition to Gu Cheng and Lei Jun, only Pan Jieying is listening at the moment.

As Gu Cheng's closest person, she naturally has no secrets that she can't know.

In line with the sensitivity of a young girl, Pan Jieying looked at the interrogation record of Du Ming on the side and asked a question: "Since he knows that doing this kind of business locally will be easily swept away by the bitter lord to the tax and economic investigation, why does he want to stay in Qiantang? Isn't it much safer to go to other places?"

Gu Cheng didn't think this was a problem, and explained casually: "Sister, isn't this guy still your 'Qianjiang University alumnus'? Maybe he just left it after studying locally, and he didn't think much about it." ”

"But his hometown is not local, he is from the neighboring province of Jiangnan Province. Most of the employees are also from other places...... I always felt that his behavior was not normal. We have also gone through the clues that Fu Sheng got from him, among all the first-level subordinates of Zhou Hongyi, there should be such a family left in our sphere of influence, which is not normal. ”
