Xu Ran watched the van drive off the road and didn't stare again, lit a cigarette, picked up his luggage, and walked towards the building where his house was.

Xu Ran picked up his mobile phone at this time, called Li Xin, told the other party that he should have been followed, and briefly explained to Li Xin the reason why he came to this conclusion; Li Xin asked him for the license plate number of the van and told him that he would be notified in time if there was news.

Xu Ran logs in to the dream game twice a day from Monday to Thursday this week, and only logs in to the dream game once at night from Friday to Sunday; After all, it's time for the New Year, and I have to help the family with some housework.

This week, Xu Ran made a profit of 38.5 silver coins by striking iron, and he paid 2.2 silver coins for practicing spiritual thorns.

As of Sunday (that is, January 31), Xu Ran's personal game currency has accumulated: 49 gold coins, 8 silver coins and 4 bronze coins.

This was already very close to his target value of 50 gold coins, and Xu Ran decided to leave the Novice Village next Monday and enter the primary battlefield of spiritual power.

When Xu Ran logged in to the dream game on January 31, his personal information changed again: mental power 17; Strength: 19 (was 18); Stamina: 18; HP: 170.

This week, when herding sheep at the sheep herding base, Xu Ran often tried to practice whether he could give mental power commands to two sheep at the same time, and the reason why he wanted to make such an attempt was inspired by Yun Zhongyue, but he never succeeded in commanding two sheep at the same time this week.

The statutory holiday for the Chinese New Year this year is set from January 31 (the first day of the Lunar New Year) to February 6 (the seventh day of the Lunar New Year); The members of the Dream Walker group who live in other places have been returning home for the New Year on the morning of January 30, which is also the care of the National Security Bureau for employees who are home in other places.

Several employees of Kong Xiuying's studio have also been on vacation since Friday afternoon. However, their job is to make cartoons next to the computer, and they will also complete some cartoon production work during the Chinese New Year, after all, the income of cartoons is directly linked to the results of their work.

Chen Xiangxiang only entered the dream game this week from Monday to Friday afternoon, and after Chen Xiangxiang landed in the game, she also went to the spirit stabbing practice room to practice the spirit thorn, and by Friday, she could launch the spirit stab at a stationary figure within 30 seconds at the earliest. This week of practicing the Spirit Thorn cost 12 copper coins.

After practicing the spirit thorn every day, she still went to work in the clothing store, and she completed a total of 6 pieces of armor this week, and a semi-finished product was 70% completed, earning 6.8 silver coins in the game.

As of this weekend (that is, January 31), Chen Xiangxiang's personal game currency has accumulated 7 silver coins and 5 bronze coins.

This week, Chen Xiangxiang insisted on going to the sheep herding practice for the rest of the days, except for the first day of the Lunar New Year (January 31), which did not go to the sheep herding base on the first day of the Lunar New Year (January 31).

Last week, she originally promised the experts of the National Security Bureau to try the case, and this week she had to cooperate with the trial twice, and then no one informed her again, maybe it was close to the Chinese New Year, and there were more things to do, which made Chen Xiangxiang very happy.

It is precisely for this reason that Detective A, who followed her, did not find out that she was affiliated with the NSA.

Li Xin went to the sheep herding base 7 days a week to herd sheep. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was not able to take a holiday, because he had to take care of Lao Xu and his wife to go home for 3 days to rest for the New Year, Li Xin discussed with Cao Jiahui and Tan Yong, and the 3 men were on duty for one day; The main thing is to greet the sheep well.

The old Kong who guards the door does not leave during the New Year, but still guards the door at the sheep herding base.

Li Xin is still a sheep grazing this week, and the maximum time he commands the sheep to move freely this week can last up to two hours.

When Chen Xiangxiang heard on Saturday that he was going to be on duty at the sheep herding base on the first day of the new year, he handed him his jade bracelet at that time, so that he could also exercise in the first year of junior high school; Li Xin still had to refuse, Chen Xiangxiang emphasized that he definitely didn't have time to enter the game in the afternoon of the past two days, so let him use it first.

Li Xin, who has a jade bracelet in his hand, also went to practice herding sheep on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, which may be the reason for the mental power consumption in the morning.

After listening to Xu Ran talk about the vehicle tracking on Friday night, Li Xin received a reply from the bureau that night, and it had been found that the license plate registration unit of the tracked vehicle was the city's C detective agency, and the field unit of the bureau was further investigating. On Saturday afternoon, Li Xin received another notice from the bureau: On January 30, Chen Xiangxiang and Kong Xiuying were also tracked around the clock by the cars of Detective Agency A and Detective Agency B. Even herself and Liu Ximei were once followed by each other.

The manager of Detective Agency C was invited to the National Security Bureau for an interview at less than 8 o'clock on the night of January 29, when the investigator of the detective agency was still driving on the highway from L County back to Zhongzhou City. When the NSA personnel asked the manager what investigation commissions he had received in the past few days, he simply said everything, and the NSA personnel immediately went to his company with him to obtain relevant information.

On the night of January 29, the Central Plains Provincial State Security Bureau issued a notice to the State Security Bureau where all Dream Walker members are located to assist in the investigation: "It is requested to investigate whether there is a situation in which XX who lives there has been followed and investigated." And inform all members of the Dream Walker group who have returned home or will be returning home for the New Year to take care of their own safety.

On the afternoon of January 30, the managers of Detective Agency A and Detective Agency B in Zhongzhou City were also invited to the National Security Bureau for an interview, and the managers of the two detective agencies also told the truth, after all, they were doing legitimate business and did not need to fight for others.

In Nanyuan City, the manager of the detective agency investigating Shi Qingsheng's daily activities was invited to the State Security Bureau on the afternoon of January 30 to ask for cooperation, and in the afternoon of the same day, the contents of the detective agency's investigation of Shi Qingsheng were sent to the provincial State Security Bureau through the State Security Bureau's internal encrypted network. Another detective agency in Nanyuan City that investigated Shi Qingsheng's work in the martial arts hall, because its investigation work had been completed, there was no need to pay attention to Shi Qingsheng anymore, so it did not enter the investigation field of the National Security Bureau this time.

When the members of the dreamwalkers returned home one after another, the national security bureaus in various places sent replies to the Central Plains Provincial State Security Bureau on the evening of January 30 or January 31, and no information was found that the person under investigation had been followed or investigated.

As of January 31, the employers who commissioned detective agencies to conduct investigations in Nanyuan City and Zhongzhou City have not been confirmed and have not been arrested.

The reason for this has a lot to do with the precautions taken by these two agents.

For this intelligence officer in Zhongzhou City, the contact information he left for the detective agency was only QQ number and WeChat ID, and the detective agency had already felt that the employer was very cautious, but it didn't care, and it didn't insist that the employer leave a mobile phone number; They only care about their own business scope, and customer satisfaction is also one of their service purposes; The investigation contract signed between the client and them is a deposit in advance, and they are not afraid that the employer will disappear for no reason.

The National Security Bureau found out the registered mobile phone number of the WeChat through the employer's WeChat number provided by the detective agency, and found that the mobile phone card was not used when locating the mobile phone number. Moreover, since the mobile phone number was opened, there is only an online payment record, and there is no call record. The registration information of the QQ number is also used.

After the NSA retrieved the identity of the mobile phone number that night, it did not match the copy of the ID card left by the employer to the detective agency, and the ID photo checked by the manager of the detective agency did not match the employer; The ID card number and ID card information of the person who paid the money to the detective agency were obtained, and the ID photo did not match the employer.

That night, the National Security Bureau arranged for the manager of the detective agency to continue to report to the other party on time, and at the same time tracked the location and QQ number of the other party's computer through network monitoring. When the NSA's cyber experts cracked the protection, it provoked a reaction from the other party, who disconnected from the detective agency and no longer kept in touch with the detective agency.

The camera inside the detective agency recorded the video of the employer at the time, but the recorded appearance of the employer was not very clear, and the employer should have deliberately not faced the camera; The cameras in the building where the detective agency is located also failed to capture the employer's clear face, because the employer shown in the camera is either scratching his face or picking his nose, and always makes some movements in front of the camera to cover his face.

On the 30th, the employer's QQ number and ID number provided by detective agencies A and B showed that they were the same person as detective agency C.

The direct information that the NSA later obtained from the other party was: the content of the QQ chat between the other party and the three detective agencies. This QQ number is not associated with other QQ users.

On the evening of the 30th, the manager of the detective agency in Nanyuan City, under the supervision of the personnel of the State Security Bureau, was able to maintain normal contact with the employer when contacting him, and the manager sent the other party selective investigation information according to the instructions of the State Security Bureau.

It's a pity that when the detective agency manager's information was just sent, the other party's QQ was displayed as offline, and the other party did not continue to add new entrusted tasks, nor did he say goodbye to the detective agency manager. Moreover, the receiver of the NSA never received the message sent back by this specially crafted computer virus. The preliminary judgment should be that the virus invasion was detected by the other party's computer.

The tracking instrument of the National Security Bureau shows that the other party's QQ number is also communicating with the manager of the detective agency through an overseas server.

The videos that can be found about the employer do not clearly reflect the face of the employer.
