"Nope! How could it not be? The three sweaty men looked up from the table and looked at each other.

Three hours ago, someone in the archives had helped them find all the records of the classified access requests for the last few years. They buried their heads in the pile of old papers with X, looking for the record.

"Can't find it. Could it be lost? Or is it being held by an anti-leak team? One of the female clerks said as she reached out and straightened her sideburns.

As soon as he said this, the archivist who had been waiting next to him became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Impossible, the things that were transferred to us have always been placed here, and now most places have switched to electronic file records, I remember clearly, you are the first people to come and retrieve the record files." ”

X looked up and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any other entrances here?" ”

The archivist waved his hand even more when he heard this. "No, absolutely not. Our director told us that before we went paperless. This is the heart of the entire intelligence service. The building is designed with the highest level of security in mind. Not to mention the entrances and exits, even the vents are built in one piece from the passage where you enter. ”

Hearing this, X nodded and continued to ask, "Can I access your surveillance video here?" ”

The man looked embarrassed and said, "It can be, but it's a little troublesome." You must also watch from me. Now the department is vigorously building an information system, and most of the data has been migrated to the past. Our importance here has declined, and we don't have the money to change the surveillance system, and the surveillance footage is still recorded on tape drives. ”

X listened, a thought flashed, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "Quick, take us quickly." ”

So the man took X and the other four to a monitoring room. Pointing to an old-fashioned tape player, he said, "Well, this is it." Due to lack of funds, we have only kept the footage of the last three years. ”

"Three years?" X touched the stubble on his chin and looked at the behemoth in front of him and said, "Three years is enough." ”

This kind of tape player is not the movie tape projector used by ordinary people, but the kind of large-scale storage tool used by banks, military and other important facilities to store important data or surveillance pictures at that time.

It is a special large cassette tape, and the corresponding tape storage room and the robotic arm inside are generally built simultaneously. It is also very easy to access a variety of tapes. Although it is still not comparable to today's hard disk storage arrays, at the time, it was the most advanced thing.

The work of watching the surveillance footage is very boring and fast. The three of them couldn't hold on, X glanced back, and said, "Did you see anything unusual?" If you don't have you, go back first, and I'll watch it myself. ”

"Nothing out of the ordinary." The three of them shook their heads in unison and got up to leave.

X picked up his mobile phone and instructed his subordinates to inform them in advance if the crow was to be executed, so he continued to bury his head in the video room, adjusted the screen speed to the fastest, and watched the video here little by little.

There is now a critical piece of evidence that there is no record of file retrieval. At least X knew that Raven had never asked him for information on the senior spy who was nicknamed "Tuna".

In the intelligence service, procedural justice is very important, and even if you need to apply for it, then no one will open the back door to the crows.

For two days, two whole days, the people of the anti-leak team came and changed a wave, but X did not step out of the monitoring room except for going to the toilet. Through the surveillance cameras all over the place, they carefully examined every video in the past few days.

After reading the last paragraph, X finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, there is no need to confirm that the evidence shows that no one came in at all on the day that the crow retrieved the personnel files.

To be on the safe side, they watched the records of the next four days, and there were still no records of people entering and leaving. According to the procedure, after the application form has been signed and sealed, it should be sent to the archives for safekeeping.

Although most of them have now implemented the electronic record model, this article has not changed, and the previous requests for access have been sent as normal.

After the last video is played, X breathes a sigh of relief. Holding on to the chair handle, I tried to stand up, but found that my leg was numb.

Finally stood up with the support of Staff Officer Chen next to him, and after X moved his legs and feet that had been numb, he immediately said, "Quick! Contact the "General" quickly. I want to see him at once! ”

The crow is right, as long as you think about it in a different way out of the way given by the evidence, as long as one link is falsified, the effectiveness of the entire evidence chain will be greatly reduced.

The intelligence department in China really hunted geese all day long, but this time they were pecked blind by geese. I can't find the edge by my usual tricks.

In less than twenty minutes, X arrived at the door of the General's office, and after taking a deep breath, X pushed the door in with the report on the temperature of the printer that had just come out of the oven.

The general sat behind a large old-fashioned desk, frowned at X, who hurriedly broke in, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong, so rough?" ”

At this time, X didn't care about the tone of the "general's" questioning just now, and slapped the report on the table and said quickly: "Big deal, there has been a new development in the crow leak case, and one of the important pieces of evidence has been proven to be forged. There was no application form in the Tuna File Retrieval Archive that was not filled out by the crows, and I asked all the supervisors, and none of them signed the crows.

No one entered or left the archiving room that day. However, the video footage of the data center investigated by the anti-leak team showed that the crow had a requisition form from time to time, and this video was carefully faked. ”

After listening carefully to what X said, the "general" narrowed his eyes, picked up the report and read it, and then said word by word: "Regarding the death penalty of the crow, the execution is suspended!" Hold it up first, and you follow this clue to continue to check for me! ”

X's falsification of a key piece of evidence actually shocked the general even more than the crow's leak case. Because even if the crow is true treason, the damage to the state and intelligence services has been terminated from the moment the crow is arrested.

But if X completely falsifies a piece of evidence, it will prove that someone is framing one of the most elite executive agents in the intelligence service.

And the other party can plant so much false evidence within the intelligence department. How far does this prove that the other side has infiltrated the intelligence services? And I don't know anything about it. This is what worries and fears the general the most.

The general pinched X's new report like a ball of coals, and after X stood up, he added, "The report will stay with me first." X, I'm allowing you to mobilize the people from the Enforcement Division to start an internal investigation! Follow the clues they gave me one by one! The more they fake, the more flaws they will expose! As for the crow, wait a minute, I'll write you a note first, and the official document will arrive later. ”

After speaking, the general picked up a piece of paper with a special anti-counterfeiting mark from the table, grabbed the pen at hand and brushed a few lines from it.

After writing, he took out his private seal and departmental seal from the drawer, dipped it in bright red ink, and stamped two bright red seals on the paper.

"Got it!" X grabbed the document that the general had just written, read it in front of him, and after confirming that the content was correct, he carefully folded it and put it in his pocket.

As soon as he pushed the door, X met Staff Officer Chen, who had been circling in the passage in a hurry.

Seeing that Staff Officer Chen saw him pushing the door out and rushing here, he couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong, so rough?" The tone is the same as the "general" just now.

Staff Officer Chen also couldn't take care of it, and said urgently: "Hurry up!" The people below just informed me. The High Court has approved the death sentence, and the crow has been escorted out of the cell and taken to the execution ground! ”
