Chapter 112: In-Depth Investigation (01)
Although there are still many doubts in the whole thing, but in the current situation, they really have no other better direction of investigation, so they can only follow the current clues, so they split up with heavy fists and ghosts to investigate two suspicious people in France, but soon they found out that this is not the person they are looking for, both of them belong to ordinary citizens, engaged in legitimate industries, and there is no suspicion to check, just in case they have carried out continuous surveillance on the two people, after all, this kind of person is very good at hiding himself, So only through long-term surveillance can more clues be found, but it didn't take long for Bruce to come with the news that the German was suspicious and could be determined to be engaged in the intelligence industry, but it was impossible to determine if this person was the Bane they were looking for. Clint, because during Bruce's investigation, there is no way to confirm the identity of this person, let alone determine whether this person has ever used Bane. Clint is a pseudonym.
Now that Ruben has died in Japan, they can't use Ruben to identify these people, whether Ruben will cooperate or not, they have lost this opportunity, although Heavy Punch has begun to investigate the whereabouts of Ruben's most trusted bodyguards or entourage through some channels, these people have been following Ruben all year round, and someone must have seen the Bane they were looking for. Clint, but it didn't go well, so they didn't relax their head-on investigation while looking for these people.
"It seems that we are the only ones closest to Germany." After receiving the news, Heavy Punch immediately contacted Ghost and Bug, and the three of them rushed to Germany from different locations, meeting and meeting at a beer hall in Munich, where Bruce's people were waiting.
"The target is in the apartment opposite, 605, and the name we found out is Pell. Greenson, 37 years old, ostensibly an electronics engineer by profession, but secretly involved in intelligence collection and trafficking, is a small intelligence dealer who is not making up and not entering the stream, currently lives alone, locks himself in his room all day and does not go out, because it is not yet possible to determine his true identity and whether there are other comrades around us We have not taken further action, nor have we carried out any other form of surveillance except here, but we have tried the method of collecting sound through glass vibration, and it is ineffective, It's likely that it's double-layered soundproof glass, or some other anti-eavesdropping device installed...... "Bruce's men gave the details and did a brief handover before leaving.
"The other has not been ruled out as a suspect, and the Italian side is still investigating." Punch looked at the information left by Bruce's men and said that they couldn't let go of any suspicious targets without conclusive evidence, whether it was this Peer or the Italian one.
"That cloud owl is too slow." The insects always show dissatisfaction with Mu Xinxin and pick thorns everywhere.
"You're always targeting her." He said without raising his fist.
"No! I just hope that the results will come out as soon as possible and don't waste time, after all, this time we are likely to face a big conspiracy controlled by Lao Mei behind the scenes, so it will not hurt us to find out as soon as possible. The insect has a matter-of-fact expression, but no matter how you listen to it, there is a feeling of fake public and private interests.
"Needless to say, is this thing likely? I think it's what they did, but we don't have any evidence right now. "The ghost's words seem to have been confirmed, and it has been confirmed that this matter is a huge conspiracy against the poisonous wolf.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense without conclusive evidence, we must be cautious enough in what we do, otherwise it will be very troublesome, and we want to cause international disputes? The open and secret struggle between the major powers has never stopped, but it has not caused too much turmoil, why? Because of the existence of people like us, we want to eliminate all evils and avoid the emergence of a head-on conflict in the country, and this is an era in which development is the main theme, and although the cold war and hegemony exist in a different way, they are no longer the main forms. Chung raised his head and looked through the binoculars at the window opposite, which was covered with thick curtains, so he couldn't see what was going on inside.
"Lao Mei has always been targeting us is the truth, there is nothing to doubt, we want to figure things out, but we need a process to find out the inevitable connection between them and this matter, but what can we do? Can we question them? Will they admit it? In the end, it will only become a bargaining chip, and we still can't help them. "The worm doesn't seem to have much hope for the end result.
"Now we can't be sure that this matter has a direct relationship with them, but even if the final result of this kind of thing is likely to be over, we can also let them understand through this incident that even if they are only making trouble behind their backs, they will still be found out, at least it can be regarded as a lesson for them, as for what the final result looks like, then it is not for us to ask, the meaning and value of our existence is to complete some tasks that the official cannot come forward to complete without leaving a word, we belong to non-staff personnel, We are not really agents and spies, it is fair to say that all this can be counted as our private behavior, which can avoid more problems and troubles and too much repercussions, but we must let them know not to provoke us easily, or we will pay a terrible price. Heavy Punch said as he compared the architectural drawings of the apartment building opposite provided by Alpha.
"It's inevitable to pay the price, but our investigation really doesn't have much hope now, I hope this time it's not in vain." The ghost always seemed to be optimistic about the operation.
Worm seemed to see some signs from the data feedback of the device, she frowned and said, "Judging from the detected signal, there is more than one person inside." ”
"Just grab him and ask him what his origin is?" The ghost always felt that this kind of surveillance was a waste of time.
"We'd better not do it lightly until we confirm his ID card, at least for now we are not sure if he is the person we are looking for, and rash action may cause unnecessary trouble, so we better be cautious, not to mention that we are not sure that there are people near him." Heavy punch has been much calmer than before over the years, although occasionally hot-headed and does some troubles, but in most cases, he can think about the problem calmly, in the words of 03, he has slowly matured, but his nature has not changed, and occasional muddy mistakes are inevitable.
"This guy doesn't go out either, what's the point of our insistence?" Bugs also find this a bit boring.
"So if we have to find an opportunity, at least we have to find a way to press the surveillance equipment into his room, or go in and see what he's hiding, otherwise it's a waste of time." Punch crossed his shoulders and looked at the window opposite and said to the ghost, "How likely are you to sneak in?" ”
"It's not a problem to get in, but if you are discovered, you will be startled, after all, you don't know the situation inside, you don't know if there is an alarm device and a monitoring system, it may be troublesome to enter rashly, you also said don't act blindly before you are not sure of his identity, so I don't think it's a good way to sneak in, I recommend installing some equipment, and then monitoring through Alpha, which will be safer." The ghost said.
"Well, that's true." Heavy Fist nodded, "Let's go over and check the situation first, and install a few receiving and transmitting devices." ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away." The ghost took a set of equipment and went out.
"The cables in this kind of apartment should be easy to find, but if it's an encryption system, even if it can intercept information, it can't be cracked." Worm sat down and said as he sipped his coffee.
"I'll try to plug in more internal devices and get more information, but it all depends on access to the system, I haven't detected any accessible devices in this range, and they may have been blocked or deliberately removed, which is a military-grade defense." Alpha said.
"So this Pell. Greenson is certainly not a petty thief. "Punch lit a cigarette," more and more like the person we were looking for. ”
"It's better not to jump to conclusions until it's confirmed." Worm refills another cup of coffee, "What if he's not the person we're looking for?" ”
"Then you have to start from scratch!" Heavy Punch took a deep puff of his cigarette, "We have never lacked the courage to start over. ”
"We've gone through so many things from Knubia to now, and we've taken countless detours to get to where we are today, but we can't be sure if this is the person we're looking for, don't you think our progress is too slow?" The bug looked at the punch.
"This kind of thing can't be too fast, if it's really so smooth, we have to think about whether we have fallen into the trap of the enemy, in fact, the real purpose of the other party is not to let us fight with the tiger fish, but to hope that we will have a grudge with the Russians, and the three-legged Wushu alliance is not a good thing for Wei, so we must keep creating gaps, and no one should unite with anyone."
Worm said: "Your three-legged tripod is also appropriate, but now it is not as simple as the Three Kingdoms, this is a world full of powers, but they habitually target us and list us as the main threat." ”
"The market is diversified, the economy is interdependent, and the politics blame each other, but no one can do without anyone, and no one trusts anyone, worrying about the strength of the other party and their own weakening, and always wants to suppress each other, this is the big power game, we are very small, but the meaning and value of what we do is that it may become a bargaining chip in these games." Heavy punch said.
"You're thinking too far, we just do what is in front of us, you said before, we are just a part of completing a task, there is 03 to control the whole, only he understands the meaning of us doing these things, so, let's do our own work, let him think about what he worries!" The worm is reluctant to waste brain cells on such speculations.
"You're right." Heavy punch looked at Alpha showing new data, "Successful access? ”
"Not yet, trying." "The cable system that entered the apartment was confirmed, but no access information was found in the room, a wireless transmission signal was detected, it was encrypted, and an attempt was being made to establish a connection......," Alpha said.
"It doesn't seem like it's easy to get in in the dark." Worm also came to look at the data shown on it and said.
"Through wireless connection, try to crack the encryption system, crack failed, failed to connect to the computer, failed to connect to the wireless network controller, connected to the mobile phone successfully." Alpha said.
"Cell phone?" I don't understand too much, what does Alpha mean by connecting to a mobile phone? Could it be that the target's phone was hacked by alpha?
"An encrypted phone was found in the room and tried to connect...... Discover the backdoor...... Activation, obtain the access password through the wireless connection between the mobile phone and the internal network, the connection is successful, and enter the network system...... "Alpha quickly connected to the various devices in the open room.
Soon Alpha sent back a series of images, including the mobile phone video camera and the picture captured by the laptop camera, but the mobile phone camera was dark, it should be placed on the table with its back down, the laptop camera could roughly see the situation in the room, it was messy, many things were placed randomly, the large ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts, and on one side was the straightness left over after drinking water and a few pizza boxes that had been eaten.
"Why does this person use a communication phone that is not fully encrypted?" Heavy punches feel strange.
"A complete set of encryption systems are used in the room, from communication networks to electronic devices, ordinary signals cannot be penetrated, so it is impossible to be invaded with ordinary mobile phones, and the transmitter used by the ghost is set in the vent, and the signal directly passes the shield of the encryption system, and there are system vulnerabilities in the encryption of mobile phones, so I can access it." Alpha explained.
After listening to Alpha's explanation, the worm nodded: "After the doctor upgraded you, it was indeed much easier to use." ”
"I'm sorry, it's not that I didn't upgrade, I just optimized my own system." Alpha said.
"You can do the system optimization yourself?" Heavy punches felt a little incredible.
"Yes, but the optimization is improved by self-learning ability, but at the moment the program execution is locked by the doctor, and I can only improve my computing skills." Alpha said.
"I don't understand ......" shook his head, he always felt that the alpha system was more and more like the second doctor, except for the doctor's irritability, the way of thinking was almost the same, perhaps this was based on the doctor's original design of his own brain acquisition information system, it is said that the doctor used some of the laws of his own brain activity in the alpha system, simulating the way of thinking of the human brain.
"Do you want more information?" The bug is more concerned about what Alpha gets in the equipment in this room.
"No valuable information has been found, and a full copy of information is underway...... "Alpha habitually copies all the contents of the intrusive computer, and then reorganizes and analyzes it.
"Nothing about it?" The punch is a little strange, although he knows very well that most intelligence officers will habitually clean up something that can be used as evidence, but the necessary records and information collation and backup should be normal, this guy really left nothing in his computer, or was it deliberately erased?
"I didn't find any valuable information that was deleted, but there was an interesting subsystem in that it was a dedicated login software for a big French bank, advanced encryption." Alpha said.
"Can you confirm that it has something to do with Reuben's account?" Heavy Punch asked as he looked at the things that Alpha had sorted out.
"I can't confirm it without logging in, but Reuben's account does have dealings with the bank." Alpha continued to analyze the contents of the computer, "No information that could be called intelligence, and no other valuable discoveries. ”
"It's not normal, this person's computer is a bit too clean." Worm crossed his shoulders and looked at the contents, "No music, no games, no movies, except for the bank's lander, which is a newly bought computer." ”
"What about the phone's communication history?" Heavy Punch asked after a moment's thought.
"There is no call record in the phone, it should be deleted manually, and it will take some time to check through the operator." Alpha said.
This person's behavior seems to be abnormal, everything meets the standards of an intelligence agent, but the information left behind is clean and surprising, could it be that he is deliberately hiding something?
It didn't take long for a person to appear in the picture, and it was they who were the target of this time, Peer. Greenson, he had just taken a shower, only a bath towel was draped on his body, he wiped his hair and walked out, this person had obvious scars on his body, he could see that this was not a simple person, this person looked younger than in the photo, and the muscles all over his body were very strong, he found a random piece of clothing to put on his body, and then took a beer from the refrigerator and sat on the sofa and watched TV.
"This is a typical sloppy otaku." Worm said as he looked at the mess that filled the room.
"At least he'll take a shower." "A lot of electronics engineers are sloppy, but he's too clean on the computer to look like a veteran." ”
"Alpha, can I get into his private mailbox?" Punching at the person on the screen, he asked, according to his experience, this kind of person will pass some messages through a normal mailbox, which is more direct than encrypted communication, and if you use code words or cryptic resignations, it is difficult to detect, and it is even less noticeable.
"His email address hasn't been found yet." Alpha said, "The computer was cleaned very thoroughly, including the browsing content, and it was unrecoverable. ”
"This is an overly cautious person." Worm said.
"I'm at the door, and if no one objects, I can just go in and get him out." The ghost said in the headphones.
"It is not recommended to enter." As he spoke, Alpha zoomed in on some of the details on the screen, and it took him a moment to see that it was the lock of the door, and there was something the size of a lunch box attached to it, which was directly connected to the anti-hotlink chain.
"A T3 defensive bomb that can only be disarmed manually." Alpha said, "An explosion with a delay of 3 to 7 seconds can destroy everything within five square meters." ”
"You say he's not a spy, and I don't believe it." The bug looked at the magnified bomb and said, "This is an infrared and mechanically triggered two-way detonation." ”
"Yes, it's not recommended to break in." Alpha said.
"Okay!" The ghost said with some regret in the headset, "I'll walk around the neighborhood and see if I can find a closer spot." ”
"What do you think he's doing here? Refuge? Or are you waiting for someone? Worm said, looking at the screen.
"Who knows? If he comes out, we'll do it, and if he doesn't come out, we'll at least do it after figuring out what's going on inside. Heavy punch said.
"The channels did not reply to any information related to him, and there was no such person in the face recognition system." Worm looked at the information sent back by Alpha and said.
"Hopefully he's the one we're looking for." Heavy Punch immediately ordered Alpha to build a 3D image of the building structure through the data transmitted from the monitoring, and they should figure out the internal structure as soon as possible before considering the next move, no matter when they do it, they will habitually make corresponding preparations first......
