Chapter 39: Pinhole Camera
Obviously, this item is not the original configuration of the ATM, as there is no wiring connection to the ATM, it is powered by a lithium battery reading power, and it also comes with a minimal flash memory card.
It's a very compact device, with a one-dollar board with highly integrated electronics, a flash card slot that fits snugly on one side of the board, and a lithium battery that's slightly larger than a finger on the other. The camera is about five millimeters square, and the lens on the front end is really only the size of a pinhole, and there is only one very small opening in the entire camouflage housing, which is intended for this lens.
Wang Zhuo couldn't help but be a little curious, this kind of thing seems to be only seen in secret agent-themed movies, how has it been popularized in ordinary ATMs? Who installed it here? What is the purpose of this person secretly taking pictures of the withdrawal password of the cashier?
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Zhuo decided to figure out what was going on.
Pretending to bow his head and tidy up the corners of his trousers, Wang Zhuo quickly glanced at it, there was no one watching outside the ATM, he didn't touch the small device, tidied up his clothes, pushed the door and walked out.
After walking out of the two streets, Wang Zhuo confirmed that no one was tailgating, and that the person who installed the camera did not follow to steal his bank card, as he suspected. He analyzes that maybe the other party wants to pick on the elderly or women, or there are other means.
After thinking about it, he hailed a taxi and had the driver drive across the road from the ATM, parked in the shadow of a large tree.
"Brother, do you want to wait for someone?" The bearded driver asked.
Wang Zhuo nodded: "Well, wait for someone." ”
"If it's a long time, you can't calculate it according to the price of the meter." The driver explained: "The price of gasoline has risen again, and I will lose money if this air-conditioning fee is put in." ”
Wang Zhuo smiled, took out a twenty bill and slapped it on the dashboard: "This is extra for you, okay?" ”
"Huh." The bearded driver smiled: "When I look at my brother, he is particular about people, okay!" Yes! ”
Using the perspective eye from this position, the wind and grass within a radius of thirty meters can be immediately discovered, Wang Zhuo analyzed that the working time of the lithium battery will not be long, and the installer does not dare to leave it on the machine all the time, and it will definitely be taken away as soon as possible, so as long as you wait here for the rabbit to wait.
Ten minutes passed, during which time two people went in to withdraw the money, but they all appeared to be normal withdrawals, unaware of the hidden device.
Twenty minutes passed, and several more people entered the ATM room, and there was still no abnormality.
Half an hour passed, Wang Zhuo finally became a little impatient, the initial excitement gradually disappeared, and he realized that criminal investigation is a very boring job, and it is too boring to sit and wait like this.
"Brother, why don't you make a call?" A kind reminder from the driver.
Call, find Feilong or Sun Donghao to accompany you? Wang Zhuo was hesitating, and at this moment, a person walked out of a couple's coffee house next to the car and attracted his attention.
The man was about a little over 1.6 meters tall and slightly fat, and he wore a hip-hop suit and carried an army-green canvas schoolbag. What is suspicious is that he wears a large-brimmed peaked cap that does not fit the style of hip-hop clothes, and a pair of brown sunglasses with large lenses, which makes it impossible to see his appearance, and he came out of the couple's café alone.
The little fat man seemed to be a little nervous, he pressed the brim of his cap with his hand, looked around, walked quickly across the street, took out his bank card and swiped it on the door of the ATM room, and couldn't wait to push the door and run in.
Wang Zhuo hurriedly used his housekeeping skills, and his see-through eyes penetrated the reflective glass of the ATM room to clearly see the scene inside.
I saw that the little fat man took out a newspaper from the canvas schoolbag very quickly, blocked it at a certain position in the ATM, and then pinched the pinhole camera device with his other hand and pulled it out hard, and quickly put it into the schoolbag.
Wang Zhuo knew that the position where the little fat man used the newspaper was exactly the ATM's own camera, which was used to record the appearance of the cashier and cooperate with the police criminal investigation.
After taking off the pinhole equipment, the little fat man lowered his head and turned around, and walked briskly towards the door.
Wang Zhuo hurriedly took out his pocket and dropped twenty yuan: "Car money, don't look for it!" ”
The little fat man walked out of the ATM room, turned around and used his schoolbag to block an angle with his body, and seemed to have done something on the magnetron door.
This process was very short, about two seconds, but it couldn't hide from Wang Zhuo's discerning eyes, he saw through the body of the little fat man, and saw that the little fat man broke off the reading card of the magnetically controlled door and stuffed it into his school bag!
The little fat man finished everything, and when he looked up, he just saw Wang Zhuo coming towards him, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then immediately walked briskly along the street, looking back at Wang Zhuo from time to time.
Wang Zhuo pretended to withdraw money, walked to the door of the ATM room, took out his coat pocket, pretended to be looking for a bank card, and while pretending, he looked at the card reading that was broken off by the little fat man.
At this look, Wang Zhuo suddenly realized, it turned out that the original card reading line on the door was protected by a white steel plate, and it could not be broken at all, and above the original card reading line, there was an inconspicuous adhesive trace, and the little fat man broke off the thing that was pasted here, it turned out that he not only installed a pinhole camera on the ATM, but also installed an unknown device on the door!
Wang Zhuo's mind was spinning, and he instantly figured out a question, it turned out that this thief did two tricks, the device on the door recorded the magnetic card information, and the pinhole camera recorded the password, so he didn't need to steal the card at all, just write the recorded magnetic card information on the blank magnetic card, and copy the exact same bank card! In this way, this little fat man is actually a master who can clone out bank cards, this is a high-tech crime!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhuo hurriedly turned his head, the little fat man had already walked more than twenty meters away, and he happened to be looking back at Wang Zhuo, the eyes of the two met unexpectedly, the little fat man's body was obviously shocked, and then he ran without hesitation.
"Want to run?" Wang Zhuo sneered, and chased after him with long legs!
The two ran and chased, speeding through the street, Wang Zhuo was tall and long-legged, and he insisted on exercising for a long time, he thought that he would soon be able to catch this thief, but he didn't expect the little fat man to burst out with amazing speed under the crisis, and the two short legs were staggered at great speed, and he always maintained the distance between the two.
Wang Zhuo repeatedly accelerated, how could he bear the leather shoes under his feet only wore for one day, and they didn't fit well, and the little fat man who came prepared not only wore a pair of running shoes, but also jumped over the wall in a hurry to exert the extreme potential of the human body, which is really not easy to chase.
"Stop!"
With a roar, the little fat man seemed to have added clockwork, and ran faster.
"Catch the thief, stop him!"
Watch the lively crowd quickly disperse to both sides, giving way to the thieves, and hang up high.
"I said, ah......"
Wang Zhuo was so angry that he almost broke down.
Chasing and chasing, there was an intersection in front of him, the little fat man took a risk, and rushed over with an arrow step when the red light was just on, and in a blink of an eye, the traffic behind blocked Wang Zhuo's road.
He actually ran away?! Wang Zhuo was so angry that he shook his arm and almost hit an old lady beside him.
Just as he was a little frustrated, a smug shout suddenly came from across the road: "Wang Zhuo, catch it!" ”
The traffic was like a shuttle, Wang Zhuo hurriedly looked over with perspective eyes, and saw the little fat man who escaped lying on the sidewalk across the road, gasping violently, and standing next to him was a big fat man, who was the fat dragon Jin Chengyou.
The green light turned on, Wang Zhuo trotted across the road, smiled and punched the fat dragon and asked, "How do you know I'm chasing him?" ”
Feilong pointed to a hairdresser behind him, and said proudly: "This shop is opened by my brother, I was looking at the scenery with binoculars on the second floor just now, and I ran out when I saw you chasing people." The timing was just right. ”
"Looking at the view? I think it's about beautiful women, right? ”
"Hehe, you know me so well!"
Wang Zhuo smiled and flicked the little fat man lying on the ground with his foot: "Hey, get up and talk." ”
The little fat man groaned twice, but didn't move.
"Don't get up? I called the police. Wang Zhuo made a gesture to take out his mobile phone.
The little fat man got up one by one, supported his knees with both hands, lowered his head and gasped violently, the continuous sprint of several hundred meters just now really tired him.
The fat dragon asked, "What's the matter, this kid stole your wallet?" ”
"It's a long story." Wang Zhuo grabbed the back of the little fat man's neck and said to the fat dragon: "Find a place where there is no one, I have something to ask him." ”
"Where no one is? That's not easy to find. Feilong thought for a moment and said, "The mouse's house is in the community in front, call him and ask him?" ”
Wang Zhuo shook his head and said, "No, this kid is unknown, maybe there will be some trouble." ”
"Then find a hotel." The fat dragon waved his bear's paw: "Follow me." ”
"Let's go!" Wang Zhuo kicked the little fat man's ass and followed him behind the fat dragon.
Seeing that there was nothing lively to see here, the crowd of onlookers who had just focused immediately dispersed, and the road returned to its usual calm, as if nothing had happened.
The three of them walked through the streets and alleys, and soon came to a small inn in the depths of the alley, and the little fat man was surprisingly well-behaved for some reason, not silent, not resisting, and not running away, and was honestly led into a room by the two.
The room is about ten square meters, a double bed, a computer, a sofa, a hanger are all furnished, the boss led the three people to the door of the room and collected 20 yuan and left, without mentioning the accommodation registration.
"How do you know about places like this?" Wang Zhuo was a little strange.
"Hey, hey." The fat dragon smiled a little embarrassedly, closed the door and locked it, and whispered, "I've been here with others twice." ”
Wang Zhuo didn't ask any more questions, turned around and said lightly to the little fat man, "Give it to me." ”
The little fat man timidly took off the canvas schoolbag and handed it to Wang Zhuo with both hands.
"I'll see what's out there!" The fat dragon snatched it up.
Wang Zhuo gave him an angry look, Feilong was unmoved, took the bag with great interest, and sat on the bed to fiddle.
"How long have you been doing this?" Wang Zhuo asked the little fat man standing in the open space in the middle of the room.
The little fat man chattered for a long time before he said, "First, for the first time." ”
Feilong was studying the card reader and casually interjected: "Grass, habitual offenders say that it is their first time." ”
"See, no." Wang Zhuo pointed at the fat dragon and smiled at the little fat man: "Even this kind of IQ knows that you are lying." ”
"No, no, don't do it with such derogatory people." The fat dragon was speechless.
"I'm not lying, it's the first time." The little fat man made a bitter face and defended: "If you don't believe me, I'll show you the records in the machine." ”
Wang Zhuo was noncommittal, and asked again: "Are there any accomplices?" ”
The little fat man shook his head like a rattle: "I'm alone." ”
"I'll go, what is this?!" Feilong didn't understand the function of the card reader, so he threw it aside, and was suddenly shocked when he turned out the pinhole camera.
Wang Zhuo hurriedly reminded him: "That's his crime tool, be careful, don't break it." ”
"Holy, it's a pinhole camera!" The fat dragon lowered his voice excitedly, jumped up and slapped off the little fat man's hat and glasses, and asked excitedly, "Did you secretly photograph the women's toilet?" This thing is called this product, it's technical enough! ”
"I didn't secretly photograph the women's toilet, it was a domestic ......," the little fat man defended in a low voice.
"Ignore him." Wang Zhuo said to the little fat man: "Say, how long have you been doing this?" Where did this set come from? ”
"It's just done...... the little fat man said with a bitter face.
Feilong ignored Wang Zhuo, he had already taken out the flash memory card on the pinhole camera and replaced it on his mobile phone, and couldn't wait to see the content of the flash memory card!
"You just got such professional equipment?" Wang Zhuo sneered and pointed to the card reader, pinhole camera, and electronic devices that I didn't know the purpose of, and a few colorful magnetic cards.
"Big brother, I really didn't lie to you." The little fat man was so anxious that he was about to cry, "These things can be bought on Baidu.com, but it's convenient, don't you believe I'll show you it?" ”
This little fat man looks about twenty-two or three years old, with a slightly yellow complexion, a straight nose, double eyelids and big eyes, and looks a little delicate, he is several years older than Wang Zhuo, but he is called Wang Zhuo's eldest brother.
"Baidu is so awesome?!" The fat dragon let out a cheerful cry, and it looked like he was eager to buy one.
"Show me." Wang Zhuo pointed to the computer.
The little fat man nodded hurriedly, sat in front of the computer and turned on the power, and worked skillfully.
