"Of course it may be, but the question is, boss, don't you think your brain is too big?"

A minute ago, at the urging of his immediate boss, Comrade Wang Chao hurried to the underground mall.

Probably too cool for Lin Chen or Xing Conglian, the underground bazaar is really a rare and interesting place in this city for the little comrades of the dynasty.

He excitedly threw down his bag and muttered about the pirate figure he had just seen.

"You call up the surveillance video first!" The convict copied the young man's scalp with his backhand.

Perhaps because he was too excited all the way, the teenager didn't have any remarks about workplace violence, he quickly climbed up the small bench of the jewelry store, looked at the camera model, and muttered: "It's still Ace with diamonds, boss!" ”

"I'll buy it for you." The torturer didn't even think about it, and said casually.

Lin Chen couldn't help but glance at him.

In the window of the jewelry store, there was a pirated Ace ornament studded with rhinestones, and the female shopkeeper heard their conversation, and her face turned blue.

"Boss, not all love in this world can be solved with money." Wang Chao jumped off the bench, ran back to the computer like no one, tapped the keyboard a few times, and said, "It's not bad, the monitoring in this store can be kept for a week, if you have money, you should give me a warm up." ”

Probably because she couldn't stay in the store any longer, the female shopkeeper simply threw away the key, picked up the bag and left.

Comrade Wang Chao also found out that there was no one in the store after calling up a series of videos.

"Eh, what about that sister just now, I still want to ask her about what time she opens every day?"

"Twelve o'clock in the afternoon on weekdays and ten o'clock in the morning on weekends." The convict replied.

Wang Dynasty gestured OK, and then found the exact point in time.

"Damn!" The boy shouted, leaned closer to the screen, and enlarged the screenshot, "Boss, you said that the floor mirror does seem to reflect in the corridor, but to a specific angle, it has to be when someone pushes the door, and the clarity is too poor, and I can't guarantee that the image can be restored." ”

"Work more and talk less." Xing Conglian said very reasonably, "As many as you want, this may be our only chance now." ”

It was about that the tone of the torture conglian also became stern and serious, and the dynasty didn't dare to say anything more, and began to watch the video humming.

But before his enthusiasm for work lasted two minutes, the laptop he brought with him sounded a fierce electronic alarm.

"Rely on it, there's finally a response!" The boy turned to his laptop screen excitedly, "The red entries on the bounty site have finally turned green, indicating that someone has finally answered the question they had set earlier." ”

Then, the phone rang from the prison company.

Team Leader Ren's voice was a little sleepy and apologetic: "I'm sorry, Captain Torture, although the other party replied, I don't understand it very well, and I have to trouble you." ”

Since Ren Xian can't understand it, it means that the reply is not a URL, but something like a conversation.

Wang Dynasty smugly hooked his finger at his boss, and then continued to devote himself to the great cause of "looking for it".

"What do you mean?" Lin Chen asked.

The torturer even looked at the complicated sentence closely, and he couldn't answer Lin Chen's question for a while.

The simple reply, mixed with alphabetic characters and even emojis, looked very confusing.

"I don't understand......" he replied honestly.

"Even the groups on the Internet are xenophobic, and this is likely to be the internal slang of those who watch the live video."

"So now in their eyes, it's like that kind of innocent and cute Internet novice?"

"It's more like an old grandfather trying to get in touch with the lives of young people......" Saying this, Lin Chen's eyes still fell on the youngest person in the shop, "Do you understand?" He rubbed the dynasty's head and asked.

"It's not BT, it's not a magnetic link, it looks more like gibberish, anyway, I really don't understand what young people are playing nowadays, but some people on the dark web are criminal geniuses and some people are pure fools......" Wang Chao, an 18-year-old adult, chewed gum and said disdainfully.

"That's right, if the other party wants to make a profit from this, then it's impossible to set up too obscure levels, after all, there are always more fools than geniuses, and it's come to this, don't they want every psychopath on the whole network to spend money to see it?" The convict Lian said.

Lin Chen nodded thoughtfully and continued: "If it hopes to attract viewers from all over the world, then the so-called 'black language' must break through the limitations of language......

However, the so-called cracking of codes is indeed not a category that he is good at, and looking at the appearance of Xing Conglian and the dynasty, it seems that theory is greater than practice, and they can't understand what this passage means.

"If you can't read everything, don't you just see what you understand?"

Suddenly, a soft voice came from the door, the lights in the jewelry store were ambiguous, Lin Chen turned his head, and saw Su Fengzi carrying two cups of coffee in his hand, and Shi Shiran pushed the door in.

In short, Mr. Su has completely regarded the scene of the police case as his own study, Lin Chen took the American coffee he handed over, frowned, and didn't know if he should accept a bribe.

He picked out a cup of coffee by himself, tore two packets of white sugar into it, and said while stirring it with a wooden stick: "Mr. Su seems to know a lot of □□ in this case?" ”

"Criminal police officer, you ......," Su Fengzi said, leaning on the prisoner's shoulder and leaning close to his ear.

Lin Chen couldn't help but glare at him.

Su Fengzi didn't realize it, but instead leaned his head closer, his rosy lips opened and closed slightly, as if he had said something, and at the end, he ended with a usual smile.

Lin Chen couldn't hear what he said at all, but he always felt that it must not be a good thing.

Xing Conglian was too much calmly, neither embarrassed by the indecent manner, nor surprised, but I don't know what Su Fengzi said, Xing Conglian actually let Su Fengzi go on the "□□" issue, and even helped him pick up the topic that had been staggered before: "Mr. Su understands?" ”

Su Fengzi held up the coffee and did not answer the question.

He bypassed Lin Chen and Xing Conglian, put down the coffee cup, supported his hands in front of the cash register, didn't care about his posture, and circled the person sitting in front of the computer.

Comrade Wang Chao opened a pair of black and white apricot eyes, and tried to tighten his body as if he saw a pervert.

Su Fengzi lowered his head, looked at the hairy head in front of him, and said with a smile: "Very cute little friend, how old are you?" ”

Lin Chen and Xing Conglian were very tacitly consistent, ignoring the young man's eyes for help.

Su Fengzi finally moved, his slender and white fingers gently swiped across the laptop screen, and then said, "If you remove all the symbols and expressions, there will be a thirty-four digit length of strings left......"

"Day after day!" Hearing this, Wang Chao finally moved, and he didn't care about the person on his body, he suddenly sat up straight, and quickly finished the count: "Damn, this is the bit address!" After he finished speaking, he copied the entire paragraph of thirty or forty digit strings, and kept saying, "Isn't it okay to make a fucking QR code, why is it so complicated, and I have to pay to get the address, isn't it, why don't you open a Taobao store!" Boss, what should I do, do I send money to this account, in case it's not a paid account for live broadcasting! ”

"It's not a live broadcast charge account, you wait for the reward, and the person who gave you this information will be killed, and I will pay the money." Xing Conglian said very boldly, "The price will not be too high, based on the average price in the world, you can try 5 bitcoins." ”

The dynasty whistled and quickly complied.

At this moment, Xing Conglian's mobile phone rang again.

Probably there will be a central flashpoint for everything.

The caller was Jiang Chao.

Deputy Captain Jiang said in a very irritable tone on the phone: "The fingerprints on those small marbles you picked up from the stairs have come out, and you can confirm that one of the fingerprints belongs to a junior boy at Yongchuan University, should I arrest someone now, is the little rabbit crazy!" ”

Xing Conglian's fingers gently rubbed the phone, Lin Chen glanced at him when he saw him, and then replied decisively: "Not for the time being, wait a little longer." ”

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Chao was obviously a little dissatisfied with this order, but in fact, he didn't know when it started, and the real commander had already changed from Jiang Chao to the criminal company.

Probably someone is really natural and can have the ability to make everyone trust and obey, although Jiang Chao was complaining in his mouth, he still answered the word "good".

"Fingerprints?" Lin Chen was standing beside Xing Conglian just now, and naturally heard Deputy Captain Jiang's impatient voice on the phone, he repeated it a little incredulously, and then looked at the coffee bar on the opposite side, which was so clean that he didn't even leave a fingerprint, "When did they change their sex?" ”

"How can it be said that it is a transsexual......" Su Fengzi stood beside Wang Dynasty and interjected with a smile.

"It's also possible that there was a mistake." Lin Chen looked away from the cashier very stiffly, and turned to look at Xing Conglian and said, "Actually, using the collective unconscious to control a group is a very dangerous thing in itself. ”

"The suicide incident and the rainy night riot really don't seem to be planned by the same group, the latter has too many loopholes, although it is dangerous, but there are too many uncontrollable factors, and there is also a torrential rain, if you want to kill people, will you ignore the weather?"

Hearing his words, Lin Chen took a sip of coffee and fell into deep thought.

The so-called personality test itself is a temporary decision made by him, so the time left for the mastermind behind the scenes to react is actually very short, which means that even if they have time to plan and create a stampede on the stairs, they have no time to broadcast it live, and being unable to broadcast it means that they cannot make a profit, which is really not in line with the motives of the murderer behind the organization......

"Perhaps, in fact, the timed power-off device installed in the distribution station is their only purpose, that is, they just want to prevent the unexplained personality test, and they have no intention of planning a riot......

"In other words, whether it is iron nails, plastic beads, or even those yells in the classroom, they are actually not the original intention of the murderer behind the scenes, but the members of some hot-blooded leaders who did it themselves?"

"I'm skeptical ......"

"I don't think that's bad news when you say that." "Can you give me a complete analysis of that group, for example, what it was like in the first place, and why did the organization evolve into what it is now?" ”

"You're really ......" Lin Chen was speechless for a while.

"The torture captain is really sharp." Su Fengzi held a cup of coffee as if he was holding a red wine glass and saluted the torture servant, "It's really amazing to ask him to use so many clues to paint the whole picture of a huge organization, and I'm looking forward to it." ”

Su Fengzi probably has the ability to shut everyone up obediently.

However, at this point, no matter how difficult it may be, a complete profile of that organization is a must.

"This involves the problem of group psychodynamics...... Lin Chen walked out of the door as if he had been driven to the shelves, took off the small blackboard at the door of the jewelry store and brought it into the store, and then wiped all the promotional information on it with his hands, drawing a pyramid-shaped triangle.

"In the beginning, if I guessed correctly, the mastermind behind the scenes just wanted to use some simple students to gain profits, and its organizational structure was more similar to that of a pyramid scheme, using guò bait to attract students to join the organization, promising them a better life, money, and a better life." Lin Chen painted the bottom of the gold tower white, "There are skills in this, first of all, the people they select are all individuals with low self-esteem and introverts, these individuals are often more than the sound of personality, so they yearn for a better life built by others, although I haven't really been to the coffee bar opposite, but just now the owner of the jewelry store told me that most of the books in the coffee bar are inspirational in life, in fact, those children, they were tempted to participate in the activities of the organization at the beginning, maybe they just wanted to change themselves, they wanted to get better, It's just more beautiful and more endearing. ”

Maybe it's because the surroundings are too quiet, the shops around are gradually darkening, Lin Chen's tone is also unconsciously softened, Xu Haozhen's earliest appearance appeared in his mind, and he introduced himself on the podium Yes, his little junior sister is so shy and timid, that is Xu Haozhen, what kind of mood did he have in his arms, and walked into that coffee bar?

Maybe the clerk handed her some card, or someone in the store took the initiative to start talking to her.

She may have felt a deep sense of gratitude at some point, it turned out that in this cold world, there were still people who were willing to pay attention to such an inconspicuous her.

She followed her guide and walked into that warm family.

"Once a victim joins, there are countless means for the mastermind behind the scenes, which can make simple people believe that only in that organization can they truly obtain a truly beautiful life, and the rest of the world is all hypocritical and dark, and the collective unconscious in the group psychology is very magical, all people's talents will be completely erased, and they will no longer be bound by morality and law, and, unlike the illusory MLM organization, in that group, they can earn money, love and belonging, They did undergo a qualitative transformation, which made them believe in the power of the whole group even more, and gradually became inseparable. ”

Lin Chen drew a horizontal line in the middle of the pyramid, and then used the second color to paint it all over.

"Once there is a crime, then the whole group has changed from a simple social group to a criminal organization, but such a criminal organization is far more terrible than the underworld that gets to cut people, and it should be called a 'criminal group'"

A third color appeared on the pyramid, Lin Chen continued: "Since it is a criminal group, it has its general characteristics, generally speaking, criminal groups are easily instigated and gullible, they are prone to extremes, they are used to exaggerating positive and negative feelings, they will show morality that they do not usually have, just like all the slaughterers are convinced that they have an important mission, and the slaughter is only to complete the mission, and these missions may be for the prosperity of the camp to which they belong, It is also possible that for the sake of the future of all mankind, it is never the selfish interests of individuals who dominate the group, but the spiritual beliefs shared by the group. ”

"So, what kind of spiritual beliefs do those children have, and even they can commit suicide for that kind of spiritual belief?" The tone of the torture servant company was not a little moved.

"For the collective good, for a better future...... But they have no future. Lin Chen was a little uncomfortable, and he almost began to regret this analysis, because no matter how he analyzed it, in the end, those suicides, and criminals, were just poor children who yearned for beauty and were fooled by false beauty, and maybe one day, when this case was opened, all the onlookers would say, look, those stupid children, how easily they are deceived, they are like retarded.

And at that time, he could not explain to the disdainful people the so-called collective unconscious and the fragility of the human psyche.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, no matter what they want to do next, they must be stopped, this entire group is constantly evolving, and it is very likely that even the mastermind behind it cannot be completely controlled now." ”

"But we still don't know what their next goal is, what they want to do...... "The criminal company once again brought the problem to the most critical place.

"Actually, if it weren't for that fingerprint, I probably wouldn't be able to imagine it......" Lin Chen stared at the last blank space of the pyramid and said: "If I guessed correctly, the mastermind behind the scenes was originally to get rid of Cheng Weiwei, so I instilled a certain belief in her and Wang Shishi, making them believe that their death can benefit the entire group, in fact, when someone sacrifices their lives for the group, the whole group will be sublimated to a more invincible stage, which is also the fundamental purpose of the murderer behind the scenes." ”

"Tell me, Cheng Weiwei and Wang Shishi's deaths were used as catalysts, but what are they going to catalyze?"

"Hatred." Lin Chen put down the chalk and said lightly, "They hate them, so they want to kill them." ”

The riot on a rainy night, the small trap on the stairs, if that was not the intention of the murderer behind the scenes, can only show that it was a spontaneous move by the group members, and they really wanted to kill those classmates around them.

Lin Chen couldn't understand the source of this hatred, it was beyond logic and irrational, but it hated so truly.

Maybe it's the contempt they've endured, or the long-indoctrinated mindset that convinces them that it's the seemingly good people who have robbed them of their love, status, and money, and that they're in fact sanctimonious bastards, who don't deserve those things, and that one day, they'll get everything they've lost back......

And Cheng Weiwei Wang Shishi's death is not the mastermind behind the scenes to make the group members believe that it was really gossip that killed the members of their group, the world is ugly and evil, and they must unite against the ugly and evil people around them.

This qiē, perhaps from the time Wang Shishi's mother saw her daughter's sex video, was a completely calculated process.

A few small gossip, a girl who committed suicide because of it, an angry mother, an indifferent classmate......

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the process of black-hearted mothers squeezing the last trace of value from their daughters, but in the eyes of the members of that group, every word of Wang Shishi's mother is their heart's voice, and the indifferent world once again shows a mocking smile on them......

In this case, a simple instigation and suggestion can make the whole group like a stumbling sea, frantically slapping against the rocks until it is shattered.

And Xu Haozhen's triple jump became a clarion call for a charge, a cry of resistance to the whole world.

Then next, the real butcher's knife is about to be swung.

Lin Chen held the coffee cup with some trembling, the liquid was cold and bitter.

In the small jewelry store, the rhinestones emitted a dark and brilliant light, and no one spoke, not even breathing.

"Actually, their goal has already been exposed, they want to kill people, they want to kill a lot of people, right?" Xing Conglian finally spoke, his voice surprisingly calm.

The answer to his question was not Lin Chen, but the little comrade of the dynasty who had been hiding in the corner.

"Old ...... Top dog...... Pander to...... Ah Chen...... You come and see...... The ......" said the teenager, turning the laptop screen in horror, and in the middle of the screen, a bright red advertisement almost stained the pupils red.

Huge black × stretched across the entire bright red background, and the four areas separated by the lines were filled with various knives and pipe tools, and those stacked objects emitted an icy glow on the screen, as if to indicate the coming blood and howl.

And under the advertisement, there is a very small URL and an accurate point in time.

2016.4.1418:00

He glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer and said, "There are less than 20 hours left, and we need to determine the specific location." ”

"This was just sent by the other party?" Lin Chen asked.

"Five bitcoins, 10,000 yuan to buy this...... Lao Tzu really doesn't want to spend money in this life. Wang Chao said with great sorrow.

"There's no hint of any location, only time, which means they could attack anywhere in the university town." Lin Chen said.

Xing Conglian nodded, stared at Wang Dynasty again, and asked, "Has the content on the blackboard been restored?" ”

"I've only found two days, but boss, does it still make sense to recover that password now?" Wang Chao said as he opened the picture, "I know you're trying to find clues about where they want to do in the end, but look, that store closed three days ago, which means that the last information was updated three days ago, will there be a final location on it, and a small blackboard, can you issue orders to everyone in this college town, boss, will you have too many brains......

When the punishment was really strict, he said so little that he didn't even bother to respond to the questions of the dynasty.

Two blurry pictures appear on the screen.

Wang Dynasty had already used the best algorithm to process the two mirror-reflected blackboard patterns, and the chalk handwriting on them could be vaguely read.

Strangely, it seems strange that there is only one day apart, but one day the blackboard says "Today's Special" and the other day is changed to "Special Recommendation".

Xing Conglian looked at the two blackboards carefully, but apart from the menu, he couldn't see anything famous at all.

"The key problem is Ah Boss, even if it's a code, for a while, we can't crack it...... Our IQ can't even read a simple bit account......" Wang Chao leaned in front of the computer and sighed, "Anyway, I have a headache when I see these numbers, really." ”

After a while, he straightened up and said to Wang Chao: "Send the picture to Jiang Chao, the book of "Discrete Mathematics" is in the conference room, let him see if he can unravel it." ”

"Isn't it, counting on Captain Jiang?" Wang Chao suddenly remembered something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the man who had been standing beside him drinking coffee.

Lin Chen also raised his eyes and looked at his old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

The convict raised his eyebrows.

Eyes converge.

"Of course I can't." Su Fengzi raised his hands in surrender, "However, this is the area with the highest concentration of institutions of higher learning in the country, is it difficult to find someone who can solve the code?" He said.
