Chapter Twenty-Six: The Old Ghost's Strategy
Far away in the special detention center in Harbin, the elderly Chen Taidong ran alone in circles on the playground.
In the early morning, only Chen Taidong could be seen on the playground, and only on the high wall a little farther away could you see the patrolling prison guards and armed police, and they were all curious about this old man who was wearing a prison uniform but enjoying his own time to relax.
Upstairs, Fu Mingwei, who was standing at the window, was smoking a cigarette, and he hadn't slept all night, for a very simple reason, because the man named Yuri. Makanov, the head of the "Commercial and Cybercrime Department" of Interpol's office in Russia, died in Harbin and was murdered, so all of them were busy with this last night, but so far, no information has been found.
Wu Zhinan came over with the phone at this time, and said in a low voice: "Old Fu, as you expected, the surveillance within one kilometer around the place of the crime was all out of order at the time of the incident, and the reason for the failure was that the monitoring center was invaded, not only ours, but also the law enforcement bureau, the firewall was broken and infiltrated, and at the same time, the hacker also deleted all the surveillance footage within 24 hours that day, the hard disk was cleaned up, and the technical department was working hard to recover." ”
Fu Mingwei nodded slightly: "Is there any connection between this matter and the case reported by Interpol yesterday?" Didn't it mean that the hackers they locked were in one of our villas in Harbin? A team of people was also sent above, but the people were not caught, and the monitoring was cleared, but it can be restored, how is the recovery now? ”
Wu Zhinan took out the tablet under the folder, opened it and handed it over: "It has been restored, it is basically confirmed that it is a man and a woman, the man is conducting facial recognition through the household registration system, and the woman has basically been determined to be the international thief Ma Fei." ”
Fu Mingwei was stunned for a moment, and took the tablet: "Is that the same Ma Fei who stole two famous paintings in Berlin and Hong Kong?" ”
Wu Zhinan nodded: "That's right, it's her." ”
Fu Mingwei looked at the tablet, scratched his head and asked, "By the way, who is that, what's it called?" It's the one sent by Interpol called Torres, has he confirmed it? ”
Wu Zhinan said: "The head of the Commercial and Cybercrime Department of the Interpol EU Office you are talking about, Torres. Walter showed him the first time, and he also visually confirmed that it was indeed Ma Fei, who was responsible for investigating the first crime of Ma Fei in Berlin, and the case has not been solved until now. ”
Fu Mingwei shook his head and said, "It seems that this Ma Fei is not an ordinary person. ”
When the two were discussing, Dong Guozhi trotted over and handed over a color-printed file: "Boss, I found out, the man who was with Ma Fei was named Jia Feng, only 17 years old this year, and he was still in high school. ”
"What's that?" Fu Mingwei grabbed it and looked at it carefully, "Isn't it wrong?" Only 17 years old? Maffei with a 17-year-old? ”
Dong Guozhi glanced at Wu Zhinan, nodded affirmatively: "Facial recognition has been done five times, there is no mistake, unless this person looks exactly the same as Jia Feng, I also sent someone to check Jia Feng's home, his family is very rich, his father travels to Canada, South Korea and China all year round, responsible for leather goods trading, his mother and father are not very good, living abroad all the year round, Jia Feng lives with his grandfather and grandmother, maybe because of the reason his father told him, many people don't know that his family conditions are very good, I thought his family was a very ordinary ordinary salaryman. ”
Wu Zhinan nodded: "What else?" ”
Dong Guozhi said: "This kid is very good at using computers. ”
Fu Mingwei raised his eyes and looked at Dong Guozhi: "What do you mean to be very good at using a computer?" Wait, no matter how I look at it, why do I think this kid's name is so familiar? ”
Wu Zhinan said on the side: "I thought you remembered, do you remember that when Pan Feng was in the case, someone once invaded the subway management system, causing the subway system to malfunction for a period of time." ”
Dong Guozhi nodded on the side, and Fu Mingwei remembered: "That's right, this kid did it, Wu Zhinan, wasn't you in charge of this kid at that time?" ”
Wu Zhinan said: "Because he didn't cause major losses at the time, plus he was a minor, he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, wrote a review, paid a certain fine, and asked his grandparents to take it back, and the school also sent someone to him, but the school said that it should be his curiosity, because this child is very proficient in computers, self-taught, and has excellent science grades, and his teacher also patted his chest and said, this child will be either Tsinghua University or Peking University in the future, I checked his background or anything suspicious, but his information was archived, and he did not check it carefully. Didn't expect ......"
Fu Mingwei stood at the window, looked at Chen Taidong, who was still jogging in the playground, and said to himself: "There are also hackers in the Weasel organization, and they are very powerful hackers, this kid is just a hacker, are these coincidences?" I really don't believe in coincidences! Why did Interpol find out about this child and Maffei at this time and report it to us? It's so strange, this case has been too smooth so far, right? It seems that someone is telling us that this Ma Fei and Jia Feng are the masterminds behind the scenes. ”
Dong Guozhi and Wu Zhinan glanced at each other and didn't speak, because the two of them didn't understand it at all.
After a long time, Wu Zhinan raised his hand and pointed at Chen Taidong on the playground: "Old man, I have a bad idea." ”
"I know what you're trying to say." Fu Mingwei nodded and said, "The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and now Chen Taidong is a bystander, why don't you let him help us refer to it?" ”
Dong Guoyu immediately said: "I don't agree!" Hell knows what that old man was trying to do! ”
Fu Mingwei said coldly: "Your opinion is reserved, Zhinan, call Chen Taidong back and go back to the room where he lives, I will wait for him there." ”
After speaking, Fu Mingwei turned around and left, Wu Zhinan patted Dong Guozhi on the shoulder and left, leaving Dong Guozhi standing alone at the window, frowning and looking at Chen Taidong who was running outside.
Half an hour later, Chen Taidong, who had taken a shower, returned to the room wearing thermal underwear, and after opening the door, he saw Fu Mingwei, who was only wearing a shirt, sitting at the table, looking through the file where he had taken notes.
Chen Taidong picked up a bottle of water and unscrewed it, took a big sip, and after making a satisfied voice, he said: "Your central heating here is called heating, it's too comfortable, the temperature in the room is the same as in summer, and I don't need to cover the quilt when I sleep at night." ”
Fu Mingwei didn't raise his head and said, "Have you ever slept?" Your file has remarked so many places, and I have basically read them all, but I can't do it in a few hours, I think you haven't slept all night, right? ”
Chen Taidong sat on the edge of the bed with a smile: "The government trusts me, so I have to make some achievements and serve the people." ”
Fu Mingwei turned around, looked at Chen Taidong, and recounted all the things that had happened in the past few days without any opening remarks, but in the process of narration, he was constantly interrupted by Chen Taidong, Chen Taidong asked very carefully, and he put forward many details that Fu Mingwei did not expect.
After Fu Mingwei finished speaking, Chen Taidong sat there, raised his eyes and said, "Say it again, start over." ”
Fu Mingwei didn't get bored either, and immediately said it all over again, and then asked, "What do you think?" Are there any doubts? ”
Chen Taidong looked at Fu Mingwei and said three words: "It's too fast!" ”
Fu Mingwei asked, "What's too fast?" ”
Chen Taidong replied: "The response of Interpol is too fast, and there is an unreasonable coincidence in it. ”
Fu Mingwei nodded: "You continue." ”
Chen Taidong said: "First of all, the day after the Interpol found out that Ma Fei and Jia Feng had committed the crime, they arrived in Harbin, and flew from the Interpol office in the European Union, that is, Brussels, the capital of Belgium, to Beijing, which takes 12 hours. That is, plus the preliminary work plus their flight here, it will take at least two days. And in fact, it took them less than a day, people arrived, and the reaction was too fast, which is very unreasonable, and secondly, the head of the Interpol office in Russia named Makanov, who died, came one step earlier than the one named Walter because he was in Moscow, but when he came, the name was tourism, not public office, and he did not inform you, this is the second unreasonableness, put these two unreasonableness together, you can get two answers. ”
Fu Mingwei thought for a while and said, "You mean, Interpol in the EU has been staring at Maffei?" Or is it that Maffei's exposure this time was within their expectations, and they have been waiting for this opportunity, so they reacted quickly? And Makanov came to China after Maffei was locked, in other words, the Russian side is also staring at this matter? ”
"No!" Chen Taidong shook his head, "If the Russian side is also staring at this matter, and the EU side is also staring at it, you can get one, because the EU office has been investigating Maffei's case, and under the premise that it is too late to react quickly, it can only let the Russian side send someone to come first, right?" ”
Fu Mingwei said: "Yes." ”
Chen Taidong shook his head again: "That's not right! ”
Fu Mingwei was puzzled and didn't understand what Chen Taidong meant, Chen Taidong said: "Don't forget, Interpol also has an office in Beijing, why do you want to transfer people from Russia instead of asking for help from the Beijing office?" This is the most unreasonable, and at the same time, why did the sent Makanov come in the name of tourism? He is an Interpol, not a spy, there is no need to do this, the reason why he wants to come in the name of tourism is to hide people's eyes. ”
Fu Mingwei nodded slightly, feeling that Chen Taidong's analysis was too reasonable, and asked, "What else?" ”
"You just said, in the Mafei information that Interpol sent to you, after you read it all, you found that this Mafei is too mysterious, and the information on Interpol is not comprehensive, most of the information is fake, it is Ma Fei's own bureau, and Ma Fei is not very old, where does a young girl have such a great ability to set up so many guarantees for herself? Even if there is, it can only mean that there is an organization behind her that is helping her, and in the world, the only organization that can almost perfectly disguise her identity is an international organization or a certain government. Chen Taidong stood up and began to boil water, ready to make tea, "Ma Fei has committed two major cases over the years, to be honest, although the amount is huge, but it doesn't mean anything, there are many similar thieves around the world, and after all these years, she has not committed other big cases, which is not reasonable." ”
Fu Mingwei nodded slightly, and Chen Taidong said: "I know a lot of thieves, there are many reasons for a person to become a thief, most of them are for money, and a few are just for the so-called interest, but thieves for money are smarter than those who are just for interest, the reason is that the mentality is different between life and interest, Ma Fei, an international thief, committed two major crimes many years ago, and then disappeared and no longer committed crimes, how does she live?" The most bizarre thing is that no one found the two paintings she had stolen through any channels, so it can only be judged that she didn't make a move, and if she didn't make a move, where did she get the money? Is she a rich man? No, if she really is a rich person, it is easier to find out her identity. ”
Fu Mingwei asked, "Why?" ”
Chen Taidong smiled: "Because the principle of this world is that the majority of the poor pay attention to a very small number of rich people, and a very small number of rich people pretend to lead a large number of poor people to pay attention to other poor people, do you know what I mean?" ”
Fu Mingwei seemed to understand something, he looked at Chen Taidong, and said the final speculation: "You mean, Ma Fei is very likely to be an Interpol person, either an undercover agent or an informant?" According to what you say, it can indeed explain why she has not committed crimes over the years, and it can also explain why the two stolen paintings have not appeared in various channels, but why did Ma Fei find Jia Feng, it is not that Jia Feng is the hacker of the weasel, and Interpol has long been eyeing the weasel? ”
Chen Taidong prepared tea: "I can't speculate on this, there are too few clues, but I personally think that Jia Feng should be just an innocent child who was dragged in, after all, he is only 17 years old, a 17-year-old child, even if he is very smart, all he can do is destroy, but the whole thing is not just as simple as destruction." ”
Fu Mingwei sat there thinking about it, until the electric kettle chirped and the switch flicked, and he raised his head suddenly: "The dead Makanov is here to see Maffei." ”
Chen Taidong poured water into the teacup: "This is the only explanation, because you and I both know, there are not so many coincidences." ”
Fu Mingwei stared at the teacup: "Ma Fei appeared in Harbin and was found using the Internet to commit a crime, and Interpol reacted immediately, sending a minister from Brussels, and at the same time, a minister from the Russian office also quietly came in a private capacity. Why is this happening? On top of that, the one who came from Brussels, who has always insisted that he does not know why Makanov came, and even denied that Interpol had contacted the Russian office side, which is contradictory. ”
Chen Taidong nodded and looked at Fu Mingwei.
"The paradox is that, procedurally and logically, as soon as Makanov died, he should have reported to the EU office as soon as possible, and he would have informed the Beijing office, and at the same time had to summarize the opinions of the two parties and hand them over to the headquarters in Lyon, but he didn't do that." Fu Mingwei got up slowly, "The most important thing is that he is now starting to think about the Mafei case and the Makanov murder case together, this is too fast, right?" ”
Chen Taidong handed over the teacup: "This shows another problem, that is, there is a problem with Interpol!" ”
Fu Mingwei nodded: "Yes, the only explanation is this, I have made a similar judgment before, but now that this matter is clearer, I need to meet the minister from Brussels." ”
As soon as Fu Mingwei got up, Chen Taidong put down the teacup and said, "If you are willing to take risks, can I help you with this?" ”
Fu Mingwei frowned: "You? How can it help? According to the rules, you are only a consultant in the domestic case, you have nothing to do with the Makanov case and cannot be present. ”
Chen Taidong took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You help me find a police uniform......
Fu Mingwei fell into deep thought.
Twenty minutes later, the door of the detention center's conference room opened, and Fu Mingwei led the head of the Interpol Office of Commercial and Cybercrime in the European Union, Torres in a straight suit, shiny hair, and a grim expression. Walter walked in.
When the two entered the room, they saw another one sitting at the other end of the long table in the conference room, really drinking tea, looking at the file, wearing a police uniform, and hanging Chen Taidong, who was a second-class police inspector.
Fu Mingwei looked at Chen Taidong, and when he was about to introduce him, Chen Taidong stood up with a smile and walked towards Walter enthusiastically, and at the same time stretched out his hand.
Fu Mingwei pinched a cold sweat, worried that the matter would be exposed, although he wanted to lock the conference room, but he was worried that the locking action would make Walter suspicious, so he had to stand on the side and wait.
Fu Mingwei knows better that if this incident is exposed, he will not want to be a policeman again, and he may face prison, because Chen Taidong is now pretending to be the deputy director of the provincial public security department.
Having said that, if you don't use this method, how can Chen Taidong get involved?
"Hello, Mr. Walter, welcome to China, my name is Sun Dawei, and I am the deputy director of the provincial public security department." Chen Taidong's appearance and tone are all like that, and most importantly, he can also speak English very fluently.
Chen Taidong's fluency in English not only surprised Walt, but also surprised Fu Mingwei, because when he looked through Chen Taidong's file, he did not find that it was written in the file that he knew foreign languages.
Fu Mingwei looked at Chen Taidong's appearance, and thought in his heart: How many secrets does this old man still carry that he doesn't know?
Walter clasped Chen Taidong's hand: "Hello, my name is Torres. Walt, you can call me Walt. ”
"Yes, Mr. Walt." Chen Taidong shook Walt's hand and let go, made a "please" gesture, and after Walt sat down, he said, "It's a pity, Mr. Walt's first time in China, just for business." ”
Walter laughed: "There is nothing to regret, I am a police officer, this is my duty." ”
At this moment, the door of the conference room opened, Dong Guozhi appeared at the door, still holding a stack of materials in his hand, when he entered the room, after seeing Chen Taidong wearing a police uniform and hanging a police rank, his face changed instantly, and when he was about to say something, Fu Mingwei immediately got up and said, "You put down your things and go out first." ”
Dong Guozhi understood, he put down the folder extremely reluctantly, took a deep breath, and glanced at Fu Mingwei, as if to say: I hope you understand what you are doing.
