0097: Encirclement
It didn't take Lin Chen to wait for a long time, it only took about two minutes or so.
Just as he walked a few steps back, went to a newsstand on the side of the street to buy two newspapers, sat on a bench on the side of the road, and was about to open it to disguise "Passerby A", Amu came to him with the news that he had successfully cracked it.
"Successfully cracked encrypted communications. Is it connected to the other party's encrypted communication system? ”
"Access." Lin Chen ordered without any hesitation.
He wanted to see what the sudden appearance of the surveillance system, which used independent encrypted communication, was monitoring what it was doing, and whether it would pose any threat to him.
Because of the use of independent encrypted communications, highly confidential surveillance systems are generally only authorized to be installed and used by state-level intelligence agencies such as the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States.
"Access successful."
With the moment of Amulai's "successful access", hundreds of video images the size of cigarette boxes popped up in Lin Chen's field of vision, densely packed but neatly arranged.
It's like a lot of playing cards with different patterns and colors, building a wall in front of him, almost completely blocking the field of vision in front of him.
Each small picture represents a camera, and this wall is a collection of all the pictures of the entire monitoring system.
Fortunately, Lin Chen did not have a phobia of intensity, but he was a little uncomfortable with such visual effects all of a sudden, and after blinking his eyes and looking at it slightly, he roughly calculated that the encrypted communication monitoring system that Amu had just detected and cracked had a total of no less than thousands of surveillance cameras.
And judging from the content of the footage captured by these cameras, they are extremely scattered.
In these pictures, Lin Chen saw street signs and door numbers in several different cities.
Among them, Lin Chen can distinguish the street signs in Portland, Providence and New York.
Of course, Boston, where he is now, is naturally among them, and there are quite a few of them.
Just the Toyama Club, which is not far from him, appears in three videos from different angles!
"Amu, mark all the locations captured by these monitoring systems on the map, and classify and arrange the video images according to states and cities." After Lin Chen scanned these surveillance videos, he found a bit of a vague clue from them.
He felt that the surveillance system, which used encrypted communications, seemed to be installed mainly in cities along the eastern coast of the United States.
At the moment when Lin Chen's words fell, the thousands of small pictures that were originally neatly arranged in his field of vision were all shrunk in a circle, arranged to the bottom of his field of vision according to different states, cities and regions, and the detailed names of places were noted at the front of each column.
In the upper part of his field of vision, a map of the United States appeared with thousands of small red dots, marking the location of the surveillance system.
I saw that on this map, more than half of the thousands of small red dots are distributed in the eastern coastal area of the United States.
From Bar Harbor in Maine in the north to Miami in Florida in the south, hundreds of small red dots, scattered or densely connected into a red line of different thicknesses, faintly forming an encirclement and monitoring the entire eastern coastal area of the United States.
As soon as this map appeared, Lin Chen immediately affirmed in his heart that his guess just now was correct.
This encrypted communication monitoring system really focuses on monitoring the east coast of the United States!
However, Lin Chen couldn't figure out the next question.
I don't know why these intelligence agencies in the United States have installed such highly classified surveillance cameras using independent encrypted communications in large numbers on the eastern seaboard of the United States.
"What are they doing with so many encrypted surveillance cameras? Could it be that the death-defying terrorists of the Islamic State (IsIs) are about to invade the United States in a big way recently? ”
Looking at the red dots on the map, Lin Chen guessed wildly.
It is not easy to deduce the purpose of installing these surveillance systems based on the distribution of these surveillance cameras, and it is very similar to the feeling of a blind man touching an elephant.
"Amu, sort the video footage by building type." Lin Chen asked Amu to arrange the video images in a different way, trying to find out more information that might be useful through the images captured by these surveillance cameras.
"Docks, seaports, warehouses, freight yards...... Hotels, guesthouses, Toyama clubs, clubs, ...... Bar,**,Toyama Club|...... It's Toyama Kaikai again! ”
"This seems to be...... Something isn't right! Lin Chen rearranged the pictures of Amu and looked around one by one, and quickly found a few special places from them.
In these images, he not only saw the three Toyama clubs, but also the places where the surveillance cameras were installed, mostly concentrated near the harbor pier and entertainment venues.
Seaports, wharves and entertainment venues, one belongs to the category of maritime transportation, and the other is the entertainment and leisure service industry.
Looking at these two places that didn't seem to be very compatible on the surface, Lin Chen pondered for a while, and suddenly a wonderful association suddenly appeared in his mind.
This association mainly came from the three Toyama clubs he had just seen!
Behind the Toyama Club is the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the Yamaguchi-gumi is a world-class gangster organization and a predator for global smuggling!
The seaport terminal is the maritime industry and the main channel for smuggling; Most of the entertainment and leisure places have the background of gangster associations, but isn't it the gangster associations that operate the smuggling and smuggling business?
After such a thought, the answer seems to be on the horizon!
"Could it be that the United States is going to crack down on smuggling and smuggling in the near future?" The information chain in Lin Chen's mind expanded again.
In order to further verify his conjecture, Lin Chen asked Amu to investigate the entertainment venues in the surveillance screen, find out their background information, and see if there are any gangster associations behind the operation.
As for why he didn't directly let Amu enter the core center of the monitoring system to find out who was behind the monitoring system, but only intercepted information on the periphery for observation and analysis, Lin Chen had his own considerations.
This kind of monitoring system that uses independent encrypted communication is not only very secure in itself, but it is difficult for ordinary people to crack and attack, and most of them have network masters behind the operation, maybe it is still a very high-level team to manage the operation.
If you rashly break into the core center of the monitoring system, you may not be told by the other party, and you may also wade into a muddy water that has nothing to do with him, and if you don't do it, you will get into trouble.
Before figuring out what target this monitoring system was aimed at, Lin Chen couldn't be sure that these cameras were aimed at him.
After all, Lin Chen still didn't know that he had been included in the list of well-known "terrorists" by the U.S. government, let alone that the CIA's Counter-Terrorism Squad and the National Security Cyber Operations Team were launching an all-round search for him, and it was not far from him!
If he had taken a few more steps forward when Amu had given a warning.
If he unknowingly entered the surveillance camera across the street from the Toyama Club and used an independent encrypted communication system, his whereabouts would have fallen into the eyes of the CIA and the NSA!
