Chapter 4: The Quest for Truth (Part II)
The tape was replaced with another one. Zi Hidden Pavilion
"May 18th." The man appeared on the screen again, this time his expression looked much more serious, and he rubbed his hands a little nervously, "Now my olive branch plan has been officially adopted by the National Security Bureau, and after their discussion, it was decided to identify the small city as City C." In short, I hope that this project will succeed and that it will be a revolution in the history of society. Oh my God, I feel like I've become a higher creature than humans, and tonight I ran into Ni who was going out on a date with her boyfriend, but I already knew that she was secretly selling and prostituting outside. Stupid, stupid, stupid human. β
The man sighed, as if regretful, "They don't know we're saving them, but I'm going to do it, and the only thing I hope for now is that the plan can go well, and it will save a lot of people from fire and water." β
After the tape was played, several people fell silent.
"So...... Is what I imagined to be on these tapes? Li Hong's voice was filled with trills and a hint of disbelief, "They passed this...... Whatever it's called, spied on all the people, and then threw all the criminals in our city C? Why is it that City C has a crime rate that is several percentage points higher than other cities? β
"Yes." Poppy affirmed.
"But how is that possible?" Yan Junli couldn't believe it at all, he paced around a little irritably, "Do you want to say that there has been a group of people in black secretly watching us?" Every city for everyone? Isn't this science fiction again, can our current technology achieve such a terrible thing? β
"Haven't you ever felt like you're being watched?" Poppy stared into Yan Junli's eyes and asked, "When you're working, on the way home, when you're watching TV at home." You've never wondered why when your home needs to be renovated, there are countless decoration advertisements sent to your mailbox, you want to get a new TV one day, and the next day you can see TV commercials from nearby? β
Yan Junli was a little creepy by the poppy, "Don't use these to deal with me, it's all some coincidence." β
"Well, let's talk about something that isn't a coincidence." Poppy shrugged, "At the beginning of this year, the clown invaded every TV set in City C on Chinese New Year's Eve and made a threatening statement, and none of you were curious about how he took it?" β
"That's what any hacker can doβ"
"Hacking all TVs at the same time is not something that any hacker can do, not to mention that there are many kinds of TVs, and each of them is hacked in different ways." Poppy folded his arms, "Besides, the Joker always gets accurate information at the right time, and you should know something about the case you fought with him, right?" It just so happened that after you solved the previous link, he was able to contact you accurately, didn't you suspect anything? β
ββ¦β¦ We knew at the time that he must be spying on us, but no one knew how he did it. Yan Junli said in a deep voice.
"That's right. How did he do it? Poppy shrugged. The three of them couldn't help but shudder after understanding this sentence.
"So you mean, the clown and your organization are the same thing?" Yan Junli asked incredulously, "I thought that your Sand Eagle Squad was dealing with the clown and his organization, after all, you appeared in front of us in the first place for the clown. But now that you are killing Yang Wenbin and helping him get him out of prison, which side are you on? β
Poppy frowned and interrupted Yan Junli's words, "Okay, okay, don't say it so badly, okay?" If I were on the clown's side, how could I possibly bring you up here? As I said, I did it as a last resort, for my own safety and yoursβ"
"Alright, stop." Yan Junli interrupted her and raised her chin, "You almost killed my closest friend, you have to show us some proof to believe you." β
"Okay. Let's take a look at the next tape. "The poppy got a new band.
The next strap is still the man with glasses, but the difference is that the scene behind him has changed, no longer a quiet office, but a dark and unlit corner. His expression was very nervous, the camera was shaking, and the background sound was so noisy that he could barely hear the man's voice.
"August 17th." The man kept turning his head nervously while recording the video, and it took him a while to barely calm down his emotions and force down the tremor in his voice, "I think the olive branch plan is going to fail." I didn't think of it...... We didn't expect that anyone would find out about this plan. They called themselves clowns, a secret terrorist organization in City C, and I don't know how they found out about the plan, but they threatened us to expose it if we didn't turn off the surveillance system, and they even found my office and forced me to flee somewhere else to record the video. β
The man's voice paused for a moment, then reached for the camera again, "At least I can't let these people get their hands on the classified information and these videos, I think it's better to temporarily agree to their request to suspend the project, before they find me, before they kill more people-"
The man was halfway through his words when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Dr. Qian Zimo, I know you're inside, don't hide, I've already found you."
The man named Qian Zimo immediately stood up in horror, and at this moment, the screen suddenly became pitch black.
"So...... Did this project, called the 'olive branch', just stop? Li Hong asked, "Because the clown found out about their plan?" β
"Is this the last set?" Yan Junli asked.
"It's a pity, and I wish this ridiculous thing was over, but the world always backfires." Poppy shook his head, "The clown found Qian Zimo, who was researching the plan, and killed him, but there are still people who still want to stick to the plan." β
While the poppy was talking, Yan Junli turned his head to look at Yang Wenbin. He hasn't said a word since he started playing the video, which is a bit out of his style.
Yan Junli touched Yang Wenbin with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?" β
Yang Wenbin was touched by Yan Junli, and only then did he have an expression that had just come back to his senses, "What? β
"You haven't spoken."
"Oh, I'm just ......" Yang Wenbin blinked a little confused, "I just feel a little familiar." β
"Familiar?" Yan Junli said strangely.
"The clown's voice always feels familiar." Yang Wenbin shook his head, "It should be an illusion, go on." β
Poppy glanced at Yang Wenbin, but for some reason his gaze stayed on him for a while, and then moved away when Yang Wenbin raised his head.
"There's one last tape here, you'll see it when you watch it." Poppy picked up the last videotape and put it into the projector, "Even if the plan is exposed to the clown, it is no one else who still wants to stick to the plan, it is my boss, the person who formed the Sand Eagle team, Lin Heshuo." β
The projector re-emits a dull sound and projects an image.
This time, the image is noticeably different from the previous one, the camera's angle of view is more subtle, and the angle is also skewed. In the picture, a man is seated, sitting at a table with his head propped up, and judging by his expression and demeanor, he is unaware of the existence of this camera.
This appears to be a surveillance video.
"He's Lin Heshuo." Poppy explained.
For a long time, the sound of a man banging impatiently on the table is the sound of him changing positions, and from time to time he picks up the book at hand and flips through it. After waiting for about two minutes, the video finally had a sound.
"Why, just wait for a while and get impatient to be like this?" A figure suddenly appeared behind Lin Heshuo, and the figure flexibly bypassed him and sat directly on the table in front of Lin Heshuo.
When several people saw this person's face clearly, they all gasped.
It's Xia Baiyan, their most troublesome enemy at the moment.
"What the hell are theyβ" Yan Junli couldn't help but speak, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Poppy.
"Shut up and look back."
Lin Heshuo's face became gloomy as soon as he saw Xia Baiyan, "Don't sit on my table!" β
Xia Baiyan shrugged his shoulders, not only did he not listen, but also crossed his legs, "Before you try to order me, you'd better tell me how my request is going." β
Lin Heshuo had a dark face, but he didn't have anything to do, he lowered his head in resignation, wrote something on the paper, tore it off and handed it to Xia Baiyan, "This is what you want, the permission code of the Olive Branch program, with this you can use the monitoring program freely." β
Xia Baiyan took the paper, looked at it carefully, and showed a smile, "But it's limited to one city in City C, right?" β
"yes, I think that's enough for you." Lin Heshuo said stiffly, "The whole city is all yours." β
"Cunning old fox." Xia Baiyan smacked his tongue and said, "Anyway, you don't care about how I mess up that city, right?" After all, it's already an 'outcast', and no matter how much I burn and loot, the government will turn a blind eye to it." And you still call us a terrorist organization? β
"Get what you want, get out of here, Viper!" Lin Heshuo said viciously.
"Okay, okay." Xia Baiyan shrugged his shoulders, folded the note and put it in his pocket, jumped off the table, hummed a little song and walked out the door, just as he was about to walk out of the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something, braked suddenly, turned around and asked,
"Oh, yes. What did you do to them? β
Lin Heshuo let out a sneer from his nose, "What? Would you still care about this? β
The smiling expression on Xia Baiyan's face disappeared, and he became serious, with a dangerous look in his eyes, "Yes, I care." β
Lin Heshuo was a little frightened by Xia Baiyan's expression, and he frowned, "I blew up that building." β
"Blown up?" Xia Baiyan repeated, "You blew up the whole building? β
"Yes." Lin Heshuo said impatiently, "Just in case, you know how rare this opportunity is for us." β
Xia Baiyan was silent for a while, and said, "Didn't anyone survive?" β
"So far, it should be." Lin Heshuo replied.
Xia Baiyan showed a smirk, "If I am a poisonous snake, you are a shark." β
"Thanks for the compliment." Lin Heshuo said coldly.
The video cuts off here.
