Chapter 4 Calls

"Uh-uh-ah-" Borg's screams continued for several minutes, becoming staccato and on, indicating that the endorphins released by his brain were already working.

For a few minutes, the judge just waited quietly to see if there was any further change in the number of white votes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, I discovered something very interesting." After confirming that the number of votes had not changed, the judge continued, "At this moment, among the people watching the live broadcast, there seems to be a very shrewd detective...... And he/she has somehow taken the initiative to say hello to me. ”

There are also many smart people in those ordinary viewers, and they have all noticed the abnormal increase in white tickets just now; Therefore, as soon as these words came out, they immediately understood that the way of "greeting" that the judge said was carried out through the change of the white ticket.

Of course, the vast majority of people still don't know what he's talking about, but that's okay...... On the Internet, there are many people who are willing to show off their talents, and soon someone said the correct explanation in the comment box of the live broadcast, and there was more than one.

"Since the other party is so enthusiastic, it is out of politeness...... I should have responded. The judge's words continued, and as he spoke, he pulled out an I-PEN from his robe, "Hmm......" He paused again as he took his things in his hand, and continued, "To avoid misunderstanding, I would like to confirm again...... The Mr. Detective, or Ms. Detective in front of the screen...... Do you really want to play this game with me? If so, please use the same method you just used to increase the acquittor by 20 votes. ”

His voice lagged behind, and within a few seconds, the white votes began to rise, and in a short period of time, they rose by more than 50 votes.

Among them, Carmen ordered his subordinates to vote only 20 votes, and they voted according to the rhythm of "four votes and one increase"; And the other 30 or so votes were undoubtedly cast by the general audience after hearing the judge's words...... Anyway, there are already hundreds of guilty votes at this time, and a few times more innocent votes will not change the result.

"Hmm...... I see. After seeing the change in the number of votes, the judge unfolded the electronic film of I-PEN in his hand, and did not shy away from calling up a form in front of the camera, "Then...... Let's use this to communicate......" he said, simply turning I-PEN to face the camera, "The names, bank accounts, and numbers on this form are the records of Mr. Borg's transactions with his 'customers.'" ”

Before he finished his sentence, the comment barrage in the live broadcast room exploded.

"What? Really? ”

"Do you even have that kind of thing?"

"Proof! This is the ironclad proof! ”

"With such conclusive evidence, this beast can actually get away with it! Death to the top of the Federation! ”

Not only them, but even the screaming Borg reacted immediately when he heard this, he held back the pain, took a mouthful of blood in his mouth, and said in a muddy voice behind the judge: "You...... Where did you find these? ”

"Hah!" The judge laughed and turned to Borg, "What's so surprising?" Do you think you're clever at money laundering? After a pause, he continued, "Go to some counties where the local trade laws are relatively chaotic to register a few shell companies, and then get a few living or dead homeless people's documents to set up some 'safe bank accounts', and then split and transfer assets...... Heh, things like that...... Any adult federal citizen can do it as long as they know the procedure.

"But, a stupid person like you...... Sure enough, you still have to hire companies and middlemen who specialize in this kind of thing to help you out and take a little profit out of it.

"Those companies have to launder huge amounts of gray and black income every year for countless middle- and lower-level federal bureaucrats, drug lords, chicken heads, and businessmen like you...... However, as a key part of the exchange of interests, their secrecy work is really not flattering.

"Therefore, it is so easy to find out about you, and I can clearly see what you have done all these years by going back to the source of your accounts...... squeezing the pensions of the elderly in pension institutions by falsely reporting accounts and using shoddy goods; Using child adoption agencies to conduct underground auctions, allowing high bidders to get 'children who satisfy them', etc., the last time you exposed it is just the tip of the iceberg...... If some of your guests hadn't 'played with fire' and hurt those women, I'm afraid those things are still going on, aren't they?" ”

When Borg heard this, his face was as dead as ashes.

Now, it is useless for him to deny anything, which also makes him angry and angry, and he said sharply: "Since you knew everything from the beginning...... So why did you have to talk so much just now? Just show the evidence to your 'audience'! ”

"Oh, you're questioning me?" The judge muttered, put I-PEN on the cart, picked up the pliers again, and lunged at the other man with lightning speed, "Didn't you know what you did in the first place?" Then why did you deny it just now! What are the official conclusions with me? What have you done, haven't you pressed it in your heart? ”

In the process of saying this, every time the judge breaks a sentence, a tooth is forcibly pulled out of Borg's mouth.

And...... The judge's tooth extraction action is very exaggerated, and each "pull" will stretch the arm to the limit, so that a long blood line can be pulled out in the air when it is returned......

"Ahh Ahh

The worst thing is that such pain does not make him faint, he can only suffer it consciously.

"Whew......" and the judge, after performing such an operation that made the scalps of onlookers tingle, exhaled comfortably.

He calmly left the Borg, put down the pliers again, picked up the I-PEN, and continued, "Where did you just come from?" Oh yes...... Communicate. He showed the spreadsheet in front of the screen again, "No need for information like names and accounts, let's just play a game with the numbers on this form." ”

The judge lightly tapped the electronic film with his hand: "You originally used 'four' to test me, then we will use 'four' as the basis of this game, listen well, I will only say it once...... All the numbers currently displayed on the screen, from left to right, top to bottom, every two counts in a group, with 'four' as the standard, take the first 15, the hint is Caesar, and the key word is ......" He said this, paused, stared at the table for a few seconds, and then said, "...... Insane, well, that's all. ”

After speaking, he took out a smartphone from his robe with his other hand, and said, "Within five minutes, if my mobile phone rings, I will talk to you; If it doesn't sound...... Hehe...... That means you're just that. ”

…………

At the same time, in the command room.

"Cipher group!"

"Got it, it's already being deciphered! But...... There may not be enough time. ”

"What he said has no beginning or end, and he can't say anything for five minutes......"

It didn't take the commander's order to order, every agent sitting in front of a computer or holding an electronic device was already in action, but based on the judge's few words, they didn't even have a clue for a while.

"Quiet!" Suddenly, a soft drink rang out over the radio.

It was the first time Carmen had spoken so loudly since she entered the room.

Her drink really made the noisy command room silent in an instant.

"Put a screenshot of that table on the split screen." Two seconds later, Carmen regained her composure and ordered.

A civilian at the command stand did so.

Then Carmen stared at the image, falling silent......

"Left to right, top to bottom...... Two ...... Turn Quaternary ...... Take the top 15 ...... 15. Mobile phone number...... Caesar...... Caesar Shift Cipher...... Virginia Cipher Table...... The converted quaternary number is in plaintext, i.e., the number of columns...... Keywords, insane...... Keys. ”

Every word the judge said quickly turned into fragments of information in Carmen's mind, and was tightly embedded in a logical chain, advancing rapidly.

Deductions and counter-deductions, which require paper, pen, and a lot of time to complete, only need to "stare for a few seconds" for the judge, and only ...... for Carmen One minute.

A minute later, Carmen took out her personal phone from the pocket of her uniform and typed in a fifteen-digit number.

…………

Wow - Wow - Wow -

"Oh?" When the phone rang, the judge's heart beat faster, and his hands even trembled a little with excitement, "It's only been a minute to ......"

He whispered as he pressed the connect button.

"Hello?" The judge didn't use the hands-free feature, so viewers watching the live stream couldn't hear what the person on the other end of the phone was saying.

"Hello." Carmen answered the two words in a calm tone.

Hearing the voice from the other side, the judge was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Huh...... I didn't expect that the person who solved my puzzle in just one minute was actually a beautiful woman......"

"You just heard my voice, but you didn't see me, how do you know how beautiful and ugly?" Carmen continued, her tone grim.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the judge immediately said something shocking: "Of course I know, Chief Moleno." He laughed lewdly twice, "Hehe...... Your pictures have accompanied me through countless lonely nights. ”

The message he revealed in this passage would at least be a little surprising, if not enough to make the other person angry.

However, Carmen ...... Neither angry nor surprised.

She just replied calmly: "It seems that you know our personnel situation very well." ”

She was able to react this way because...... In the few seconds between the judge's words and her response, she had already sorted out the process of the other party's reasoning about her identity from the judge's point of view.

That is: suppose that the person you are dealing with is from the FCPS (among all federal agencies, the FCPS is the most stressful by the judge, high probability), assuming that the person who knows you is the person who calls (the puzzle is short and difficult, and the matter of talking to the judge itself requires a strong ability and high probability), and then suppose that this person is at least at the middle level or above in the FCPS (under the five-minute limit, "many people" is of little help to solve this puzzle, Because it takes a lot of time to coordinate and communicate when multiple people solve it, in the case of solving it in this minute, the puzzle is definitely solved by one person, and the person who solves it is undoubtedly a super elite; So, high probability), and then infer the approximate age range of the person as well as the gender from the voice...... Once you get to this point, the scope narrows down a lot; There are only a handful of young women among the middle and upper ranks of officers in the FCPS, and in this matter, female officers who have obtained high positions through "force" can also be excluded, so the rest of the ...... who meet the conditions of the super elite There is only one.

Of course, the assumption that the other party deliberately used a voice-changing device to turn into a sweet female voice also exists, but it is very low, because logically it is almost unnecessary.

To sum up, as long as the judge has some knowledge of the personnel situation in the middle and upper echelons of the FCPS, it is very likely that he will guess that the person on the other side of the phone is Carmen Moleno, the deputy minister of the European headquarters; The probability of guessing correctly is at least about 70%, even if the guess is wrong...... There is no loss for him.

As for the second half of the sentence about "photo", it is clear that he added it nonsense to disrupt and provoke his opponents; In Carmen's view, this kind of negotiation technique is meaningless and meaningless.

"Oh? I'm not angry. The judge laughed, "And you test me, right?" Hehe...... Okay, I'll admit it, I'm familiar with your FCPS files, and I've seen them all. He paused," he said...... Can I think you've acknowledged who you are? Sir Moreno? ”

Sure enough, he wasn't sure who he was dealing with, and his words seemed casual, but in fact he was extremely cunning and cautious. When Carmen heard this, she said in her heart.

In this second paragraph, the judge directly says the word "FCPS" and reconfirms Moreno's identity, which Carmen can certainly hear as a further temptation.

"Yes, I'm Molano, who are you?" When Carmen said this back, the entire command room sweated for her.

Although everyone knows that this is investigating the case, if you go to the death to pick out the "regulations", Carmen's behavior of "using a private phone, at work, and talking to a criminal" at the moment is definitely a violation of many disciplines and even laws, not to mention that she admitted her official identity on the premise that she knew that the criminal was "live broadcasting".

"Huh...... I'm a judge. On the other hand, the judge's reply was not surprising.

"I told you the name, and you gave me a nickname?" Carmen replied aggressively.

"Joke~" the judge sneered, "Hmph...... Could it be that 'Moreno' is your real last name? ”

At this second, Carmen's expression changed for the first time because of the other party's words.

"Don't bother with me about names, sir." The judge didn't wait for Carmen to answer, but then said to himself, "Sometimes a name doesn't tell who you are, but a nickname can say a thing...... Isn't it? He paused, "Let's talk about something real......

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Borg again: "Aside from the more distant goal of 'arresting me', 'rescuing Mr. Borg' should be your top priority." With that, he grabbed the few hairs on the back of Borg's head, picked up the latter's hanging head again, and pointed it at the camera, "It's better to ...... Let's take that as a bet and play another game. ”
