283. Chapter 8 (2)
After being taken hostage from the apartment to this deserted place and getting off the car, the white man took Yifan and Jamie down the dark corridor to the control room on the second floor, judging by their familiarity with this place, they should have been in this place for a while.
"How? Are you all set? ”
As soon as the white man entered, he asked the young man at the table, while raising his hand to glance at the time.
"It's all ready, it's waiting for you." The young man replied without raising his head.
The white man nodded, turned to look at the two of them at a loss, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm in such a hurry because we have an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with immediately, and you are the best person to solve this matter, we need to use your skills to help us crack a security program." ”
After speaking, the white man reached out and grabbed Yifan's arm and pulled her to the computer.
"This is it, we need you to help us open the door to this place and let my people in."
Yifan was stunned at a glance, and from the computer monitor, Yifan saw that the place where the white man asked them to break the security program and let people in was an FBI office building with obvious signs and only at the disposal of the state government, and Yifan and Jamie were stunned for a moment.
A few days ago, the FBI launched several simultaneous raids on a large and well-organized family criminal organization that had been entrenched in Aocheng for many years, and they controlled most of the illegal activities in Aocheng, including money laundering, assassination, drug smuggling, and all legal and illegal operations on the docks.
The raid was launched at midnight, and the federal investigators who had already done a good job of investigating the investigation successfully pulled out old John, the leader of the organization, who had just returned home from abroad, out of the bedroom, and at the same time several other teams raided the wharf and several illegal business bases in the city, not only obtained a large number of prohibited items and weapons and ammunition, but also seized a large number of drugs in a warehouse near the wharf, and some of the group's accounts with domestic and foreign countries were also seized and taken away, which was the most fatal. If these accounts had been verified to be correct, old John would no longer be able to breathe the free air outside the walls.
The white man who held Yifan and Jamie hostage was John Sr.'s youngest son, Mike, who was less than forty years old this year, and the cunning John knew that he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket, and John sent Mike abroad when he was very young, and rarely let the little son appear in public with him.
As time went on, Mike grew up and drifted away from the public eye, so that outsiders rarely knew the latest information about Mike, and many times when federal investigators gathered evidence of John Sr.'s crimes, most of the information they got was that his youngest son had died years earlier.
In fact, these are all tricks of old John, who changed the name of his youngest son Mike many years ago and regained the legal identity of Mexico, and has been hiding there ever since.
Mike, who graduated from a university of higher learning, has completely inherited the cells of Old John, not only is his mind extremely smart, but he is also extremely rigorous and careful when engaging in and operating these illegal businesses, and he has also won the title of "cold-blooded" Mike for himself with his ruthlessness and ferocity, and the transactions completed by his hands have never deviated in any way, which is particularly appreciated by Old John, who knows that for the reproduction and growth of his family, there must be a cautious and shrewd person at the helm.
Some time ago, Old John went abroad, that is, to discuss the follow-up affairs of the family with his youngest son Mike, the aging old John found that he could no longer support such a huge family industry chain, he was ready to push his youngest son Mike to the front desk to preside over the family affairs, but he did not expect that as soon as he returned to China, he was arrested by the FBI, Old John was not worried about anything else, the only thing he was afraid of was that the investigators collected these information Don't involve his youngest son Mike, In that case, his years of hard work would not be in vain, if he could keep Mike's roots, Old John himself would be sentenced to life imprisonment, and he would not hesitate to do so.
But 'cold-blooded' Mike didn't think so, the moment he learned that his father was taken away by federal investigators, he immediately decided to leave to return to the United States to deal with the aftermath, he knew that without evidence, the court could not convict his old father in any case, and when he knew that the FBI had obtained most of the evidence, 'cold-blooded' Mike's first reaction was how to destroy the evidence.
The young man sitting in front of the computer is the same young man who appeared in the arena this morning to take pictures, he is Mike's eldest son George, and a grandson of John Sr., George's mother is an Indian, white and Indian mixed race, giving George a charming appearance.
George was secretly taken back to the United States to receive systematic education from a young age, away from the supervision and constraints of his parents, so that George was contaminated with a bunch of bad problems from a very young age, and his academic performance gradually declined with age.
The only exception is that George, who has not been very keen on family affairs, has a strong interest in computers, and George, who only completed two years of college courses, immediately dropped out of school and transferred to the college where they are located, and spent a high price to enter a supernumerary training class, in order to have a comprehensive understanding of computer knowledge, but he did not expect that this time his father called him away as soon as he came back from Mexico, and asked him to use the knowledge he had to help rescue Old John.
After several days of intense visits and information from some of the people who had been inserted into the police department and had access to the briefing, Mike knew that his father, John Sr., was about to enter the judicial process, and that all the evidence and documents collected by the FBI were kept in an independent FBI exhibit management center, which was adjacent to the FBI's office building, which gave Mike the crazy idea of breaking into the evidence center to destroy the evidence.
Further investigation revealed that although this evidence storage center is under strict supervision, there are not many staff guarding there, and the agents who come and go to collect and release evidence must go through various complicated procedures and verification mechanisms to take what they want, so it is inevitable to sneak in and steal physical evidence during the day.
But the 'cold-blooded' Mike did not mean to give up, he found a loophole here, that is, there are only two guards waiting in the monitoring room at night, through more than a dozen monitors to guard the security of the evidence center, and the security of the guards rely on and ensure the safety of this place is the monitoring system throughout all corners of the evidence center, as well as the one-time independent verification password required to enter and exit different areas of the center.
In other words, even if someone sneaks past the security guard's surveillance, it will not be able to enter the independent areas where the specific physical evidence is stored, because the entrance to each section is guarded by cumbersome electronic locks, once the wrong password is entered three times, the alarm will be triggered, and then you can't run out even if you want to, and those who quickly fall down the emergency isolation door will be dead closed in the area that triggered the alarm.
George, who thought he was a little better, finally gave up his plan to hack into the security system here after two days of busyness.
"No, it's too difficult for me, it's relatively simple to capture the monitoring system on the periphery there, I can do it, but I can't control the monitoring of the monitoring room inside, take a step back, even if this level is passed, then it's how to hack into the federal database to find the location of those files, and then how to crack the security system inside and take out the files, I can't do it."
Looking at his son with a frustrated and discouraged expression, 'cold-blooded' Mike has a fire in his heart but can't say anything, the long-term separation has caused a great gap between their father and son, and they are dissatisfied with each other's way of acting.
"If you can't, do you know who can do it? We can pay him a lot of honorarium, and if we can help us get into that center and find those documents, he can have endless money for the rest of his life. ”
Mike suppressed his anxiety, but he didn't want to give up on his plan so simply, Mike tapped his son on the shoulder, inspiring George to see if he could find another person to solve the current problem.
This question really inspired George, he thought of the hacker simulation attack competition that the top students in the academy were discussing in private these days, not to mention the difficulty of attacking the security protection facilities here as if it were heaven-high, but for those hackers, it was as simple and easy as going home.
Looking at George's suddenly glowing eyes, Mike knew there was hope: "How's it going?" Do you have a solution? ”
"What you said reminded me that there is a simulated cyber attack competition in the academy in the past two days, and the contestants are all top talents in the academy, and it is easy for them to break through the protection here, but there are no people I am familiar with, and it may not be easy to move them to help."
As soon as George told his father Mike, the 'cold-blooded' Mike adopted George's idea without hesitation.
"That's a good suggestion, you don't have to worry about how to convince them, I'll leave the work of persuasion, we'll get there tonight, you go to the arena and find me the right person, and identify me, and I'll take care of the rest, and then you can go back here and prepare the applications, and make sure to use the best equipment, I don't want to get in the way of our operations because the equipment is not in use."
The father and son discussed the steps and details of the operation in general, and then rushed to this famous academy overnight, Mike rested in his son's apartment during the day, waiting for news, and George came to the competition venue with a camera, he witnessed how Yifan and their team went all the way to win the championship, and saw the amazing moment when Yifan broke the browser that discouraged all the players, after taking many photos of the scene, George got up and quietly left the competition venue.
