Chapter 053: Agitation

The next morning, when Pang Jitong entered Fu Liangtao's office to submit the investigation report, Fu Liangtao raised the picture book to Pang Jitong and asked, "How did you find it?"

When Pang Jitong saw the picture book, his eyes lit up first, and he said, "It turns out that this picture book is in your hands Sir Tao, and I have been looking for it for a long time." Pang Jitong was not annoyed, but remembered Fu Liangtao's question, and asked blankly, "What did you find?"

The appreciation in Fu Liangtao's eyes narrowed, and he didn't explain, but asked rhetorically, "How did you get this picture book?"

After hearing this, Pang Jitong lowered his eyes slightly, smiled shyly and said, "It was Ah Ning who gave it to me, she said that she likes this series of picture books very much, and the story has an inexplicable dark color." While speaking, Pang Jitong's lips hung a faint sweet smile.

Looking at Pang Jitong's appearance like a spring breeze, Fu Liangtao turned to glance at the investigation report on the table, feeling that he seemed to have missed something during his investigation of Xu Jingjia's case.

Pang Jitong's appearance seems to be completely unaware that this picture book is related to the case.

Fu Liangtao then asked, "Then do you know who the author of this picture book is?" After saying that, Fu Liangtao looked at Pang Jitong's expression was still blank, and continued: "It's Xu Jingjia!"

When Pang Ji heard this, his expression was straight, and he took the opportunity to pull out the chair opposite Fu Liangtao and sit down, obviously looking forward to returning to the team for a long time. In the past two weeks, considering that Xu Jingjia recognized Pang Jitong's appearance, Fu Liangtao did not let Pang Jitong participate in the work of approaching Xu Jingjia, but handed over several other cases to Pang Jitong to follow up alone.

Now that the operation close to Xu Jingjia is nearing the end, and Fu Liangtao is also very clear that when Pang Jitong is investigating other cases, he does not forget to inquire about the progress of their investigation, because Fu Liangtao does not object to Pang Jitong's return to the team.

Fu Liangtao pulled out another picture book from under the backlog folder at hand, and placed it in front of Pang Jitong, a picture book from the same series by Xu Jingjia, "Rabbit Stubit and his Treehole."

"Hui Ching-ka's pen name for publishing her picture book is Ping Xin, and this is her picture book published in early 2018. The date of publication of the picture books is similar to the days when Hui Jingjia became a jobless vagrant, and the protagonist of both picture books is this rabbit named Dull Rabbit.

Although the stories of the two picture books are not related, I think that by combining the stories of the two picture books, it is enough to understand Hui Jingjia's journey when she was harassed online." Fu Liangtao said, pushing this new picture book to Pang Jitong, and said, "You can also take a look, this one can better express the real feelings of people who have been cyberbullied than the butterfly's one."

"You mean that Xu Jingjia is also a victim of cyberbullying? How so?" Pang Jitong was very surprised when he heard this, so he quickly flipped through the picture book of the tree hole that Fu Liangtao had just taken out.

Fu Liangtao did not answer, and after Pang Jitong had a general understanding of the content of the story, Pang Jitong then asked with questioning: "If the stories of these two picture books are really related to cyberbullying, why can't they be criminal records made by Xu Jingjia out of self-satisfaction?"

Fu Liangtao immediately denied Pang Jitong's speculation and said, "No, Xu Jingjia has really experienced online harassment. Do you remember that she always sealed the front and back cameras of her phone with sticky notes? Do you remember when she deactivated all her social media accounts, her mobile phone data usage dropped dramatically, and she didn't even take her phone with her when she went out?

These are all signs of distrust of electronic devices after the incident that victims of online harassment have experienced. Honestly, I didn't think much of it until I saw these two picture books."

Pang Jitong recalled these small details at this time, and he never thought that the small details of Xu Jingjia's life were actually related to the experience of online harassment. After cooperating with Fu Liangtao a lot, Pang Jitong understood that Fu Liangtao would not make a conclusion just because of these subsections, so he looked at Fu Liangtao again, and his bright eyes waited for Fu Liangtao to continue to explain.

Fu Liangtao replied: "Moreover, from the second picture book published by Xu Jingjia, you can feel her deep resentment. In the past two weeks, it can be known that even though Xu Jingjia is alone and is not familiar with the people in the church, the church is still full of rumors related to Xu Jingjia, and there are really not many people who have good intentions towards her.

As we know, Xu Jingjia is reluctant to come into contact with others, let alone reveal her affairs to anyone. So, you say, where do these rumors come from?"

Looking at Pang Jitong's pensive face, Fu Liangtao continued: "In fact, since the discovery of the Trojan horse program 'Seven Points', I suspect that Li Bingde and Zhou Muqing have suffered more than ordinary level of online harassment. The cyber harassment they have experienced is of the type of cyber-stalking."

"Cyberstalking?" Pang Jitong recited this unfamiliar term suspiciously, but the meaning of this term is not difficult to speculate, Pang Jitong quickly reacted, so he continued to ask: "I know that the perpetrator used a Trojan horse program to monitor Li Bingde and Zhou Muqing in real time, but what is the difference between this cyber stalking and cyber harassment?"

Fu explained: "I have only seen this type of case in some cases abroad. If it is difficult to file a case of online harassment, because the form of harassment is limited to the Internet, everything can still be traced through the harassing emails sent by the perpetrators and the records of network invasions.

Cyberstalking, on the other hand, is more thorough, and the impact of this type of harassment is no longer limited to online activity, but is integrated into the real life of the victim. Cyberstalking is much the same as real-world tracking, but more stealthy. Perpetrators will combine online activities with traditional stalking and harassment methods, and make the victim's information public online or other electronic channels to encourage others to contact, harass or harm the victim.

The reason why foreign cases are exposed is that the perpetrators of the cases are too blatant, posting the victim's information on the Internet and making it public for strangers to browse, encouraging people who have never known each other to abuse the victim.

However, the perpetrator of this case is clever in that he does not choose to agitate unrelated strangers, but uses his knowledge of the victim and his movements to encourage people who are familiar with the victim or who are in the victim's life circle. Moreover, these agitation methods are hidden in the needle, which is not easy to detect. Even if they do, they don't think about cyber stalking, they just think that the victim has a problem with the people in the relevant circle."

Following Fu Liangtao's words, Pang Jitong thought of what Li Erren had encountered in the workplace, socializing or at home, and suddenly came back to his senses.
