Chapter 15 Pervasive Surveillance
"You've been to Zhang Zhendong's villa, so what you need to know is that Xinghui Games has now moved to the basement of that villa." Liu Xiaoya, who was full of charms and ruddy face, said before leaving.
Zhao Ming didn't ask Liu Xiaoya why he knew about it, because the fact was that, judging from the sounds he heard outside Zhang Zhendong's villa during the day, he had already guessed that Liu Xiaoya, who was an employee of the Oriental Bathhouse, must have often gone to that villa for Zhang Zhendong to play with. Maybe it's still possible, she is also quite close to Zhang Zhendong.
After the noise of the previous joust dissipated, the smell of hormones in the room gradually faded. Zhao Ming lay on the bed on all fours, staring at the ceiling with dull eyes for a long time, and finally decided that he had to go to the villa again.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, seven or eight hours before the time limit for completing the task, Zhao Ming, who was sitting in a taxi in civilian clothes, heard old music from the radio in his ears, and his mind couldn't help but start to swim.
Because although he decided to go to that villa, Zhao Ming didn't think about what he could do and what kind of identity he could enter in.
In his pocket, the villa gate pass card left by Liu Xiaoya can solve the trouble of the first step for him, but how to sneak into Zhang Zhendong's house, for now, he has no clue at all.
About half an hour later, Zhao Ming, who came to the courtyard of Zhang Zhendong's house, was alert to find a location that would not be photographed by the camera, and stood still. He looked at the luxurious two-story building not far away, and under the bright lights, even the thick curtains could not completely cover the charming figures.
"It's a little bit more than during the day." Zhao Ming thought to himself, judging from Zhang Zhendong's actions at this moment, he felt that now was the best opportunity to get closer.
Running briskly through the slightly spacious courtyard, Zhao Ming hid beside a bush, he was looking for a vent or window in the basement, as long as he found it, he could see if it was as Liu Xiaoya said.
As for "what kind of game company would deliberately move to the basement, what are they doing in it, and is it a crime?" Such issues are no longer issues that Zhao Ming needs to consider.
With the cat in place, Zhao Ming began to move around the room little by little, and after a while, he saw a scene that was out of place with other places, like a row of low shrubs that had been deliberately transplanted, and the lights couldn't stop overflowing.
"Found it!" Zhao Ming was overjoyed in his heart, and trotted over more cautiously, leaning his head against the glass, trying his best to look inside.
At a glance, it is certain that the basement area is really not small, and the decoration has obviously cost a lot of money, the rows of advanced computers, as if they are displayed, at least twenty young men are busy typing on the keyboard, and lines of code are displayed on the screen.
Moving his gaze to a wall, at first Zhao Ming didn't notice anything wrong there, but after a while, he suddenly realized that there was a wall, which was simply a whole display screen pieced together with a computer screen of exactly the same size.
It's a pity that nothing is displayed on that big screen at the moment.
Among the people who are working, there are men and women, and they occasionally talk briefly, but as for what they are talking about, Zhao Ming naturally can't hear it.
However, Zhao Ming noticed that in so many office spaces, one chair was idle, and the corresponding computer was not started at all.
"Could that be Lin Hui's place of work?" Zhao Ming thought. "But what is this mysterious Starlight Games Company doing?"
Just as Zhao Ming was concentrating on this problem, the strange mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated again, and it can be imagined how terrifying this vibration must be in such an environment.
Zhao Ming instinctively reached out and pressed his pocket, wanting to block the sound, but it was still too late, because he saw that someone in the basement was already looking towards the window.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming immediately didn't care about anything else, and planned to retreat and escape with both hands and feet, but he didn't think that before he could take a few steps back, his hand touched a pair of soft feet.
This kind of touch really scared Zhao Ming, and his head turned back suddenly.
"Officer Zhao, how can you be so good at Yaxing, and go to my yard to enjoy the cool." Zhang Zhendong, who is still dressed in home clothes, has a smiling face, which looks extremely infiltrating in the moonlight.
Fortunately, after all, it was the police, after training, although for a while, Zhao Ming really didn't know how to respond, but the panic quickly subsided, he patted his clothes, stood up, faced Zhang Zhendong, and said nothing.
Zhang Zhendong was still smiling gloomily, time seemed to freeze, and after a long time, Zhao Ming said, "No way, your yard is too comfortable, but what's going on in that basement?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhendong raised his eyebrows, "Hehe, the basement of my house should be what I want." ”
Zhao Ming took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, "That's not bad, but you're also a businessman, so don't do anything illegal." ”
"Hehe, what's the crime? I am a good citizen. ”
"I checked the information of the companies in your name, and their legal representatives are all problematic. I'm sure I'll find more clues if I'm willing to take the time to keep looking. Zhao Ming let out a long breath of smoke to calm his mood.
"I see, but do you have a search warrant? As far as I know, you are now considered trespassing, and I can call the police. ”
Zhao Ming really didn't want to see him call the police, because once it really became like that, it would be really difficult for things to end. So, Zhao Ming pretended to be thinking, paced two steps to the side, and at the same time, quietly glanced at the weird mobile phone that had just vibrated in his pocket, only to see that it showed that the first level of the game in Death Paradise had been successfully completed.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming really didn't need to stay here anymore.
"It's better to take a step back, you and I haven't been here, I shouldn't know about your things at all, including those tricks in your house!"
Zhang Zhendong finally moved, he slowly stood beside Zhao Ming, put his hands in his pockets, and looked up at the starry night sky.
"Officer Zhao, the night is beautiful, isn't it?"
Zhao Ming listened to the words and couldn't understand what Zhang Zhendong wanted to express, so he didn't respond.
Then, Zhang Zhendong suddenly reached out and patted Zhao Ming's shoulder, "Officer Zhao is actually more suitable to be a businessman, and he is very good at bargaining." Then I'll forget about today's affairs, but if my affairs are shaken out, I'll have to look for you. ”
Hearing such threatening words, Zhao Ming naturally couldn't make a guarantee. "I think Lin Hui should indeed work under you, and he is now the prime suspect in a murder case. The police found the Xinghui game and found you, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I can only promise that I will not inform them. ”
"Hehe, that's enough." Zhang Zhendong smiled and patted Zhao Ming's shoulder again, "Don't send it, the road is slippery at night, pay attention to safety!" ”
For some reason, hearing such words, Zhao Ming's body felt a tremor inexplicably.
After leaving the villa area, Zhao Ming did not immediately choose to take a taxi to leave, he slowly walked along the side of the road, letting the cool breeze of the late night blow his sweat-soaked body.
The instinct to escape was the result of his desire to forget what had happened that day. However, the arrival text message on his mobile phone was a vivid reminder to him that everything was true.
'Twenty thousand dollars. Zhao Ming chattered like a self-deprecating thought, between the words there was no joy in the morning, more heaviness and helplessness, he wanted to open his mouth to say quit, but unfortunately he didn't even have such courage.
On the bridge, he stood by the railing, recalling the events that had happened in the past ten hours, and he felt in a trance.
"What's going to be the next game? I'm going to have to play until I can stop. The desire in his heart to find the organizer behind the Death Paradise game became more and more intense, Zhao Ming turned his head and forgot to glance at the road surveillance camera not far away, "Maybe they are looking at me at the moment!" ”
Zhao Ming wanted to laugh, but he suddenly felt that he was unreservedly exposed under surveillance, as if he was slaughtered in an iron cage, teasing and playing with animals, and he had no power to fight back at all.
In the silence of the night, his cell phone rang, the number familiar.
"Xiao Zhao, are you not at home? I'm looking for you! ”
