I rushed back to the room like crazy, made more than a dozen phone calls in a row, and called all the more capable guys in Hangzhou. I assigned several tasks. A group of people looked for someone for me, but I didn't see what the person looked like, I just said that I was looking for someone with a suspicious appearance. The second group of people gave me rummaging through the trash cans to see if there were any videotapes. There were so many videotapes, it was impossible for him to take them with him at once, either to destroy them, or to definitely hide them somewhere else. Even if you find only a pile of ashes, you have to bring it back to me. The third group of people is looking for someone to get all the things out of that secret room. I'm going to study inch by inch, and I don't believe that I can't find any traces.

The first batch of people definitely didn't have any results, I was just depressed in my heart, and I found a few people to be ruthless. But no one was found. The second group never returned. The third group was even more depressed, because perhaps the furniture was first placed in the design of the room below, and now it is impossible to get the furniture out of such a small passage. The guy asked me what to do, and I said what else could I do, so I said, "Tear it down!" ”

Everything inside was broken down and piled up in the yard, and I watched all the debris, turning over piece by piece, until I found that there was no clue at all, and I calmed down.

I drove everyone away and sat alone in the yard, lit a cigarette, and pondered. I felt like I had failed so much, and I had lost such a great opportunity. But I looked at the bedding, at the tables and chairs, and suddenly I noticed something wrong, and then I sneered.

I realized that I had not failed at all, and that all the things I wanted to know were in front of me. It's just that I need some measures to parse it out.

I picked up my phone and called a guy: "No matter how much." Find me a facility that can test my DNA. "I spread out the covers, searched carefully, and picked out one of the hairs." Yes, money is not an issue. ”

If a person has been in a secret room for decades, and the only person who communicates with him is my third uncle, what is the biggest problem?

This person must have very little knowledge of modern technology, and I don't know how they communicated before using computers. But obviously, they don't know much about technology.

I sent the few hairs I found to be examined, and if my guess was correct, I would be halffucking aware of it.

On the other hand, I sent both computers to my classmates. Let him continue his research. I know that deleting things on the computer is not clean, and even if the hard drive is formatted, the data in it may be restored. I already know a little bit about everything, and some of the fragments may be extremely precious hints to me.

Long story short, the DNA test results didn't come out that quickly, but the next day, my classmate came.

To my surprise, my classmates came empty-handed, and I looked at me questioningly. He shook his head: "The hard drive in this computer is useless, it's just an empty shell." ”

Empty shells?

"It's a workstation." He said, "I found this in the CD-ROM drive. He pulled out a CD. The hard drive of this computer is an ornament, which is a workstation that uses an optical drive. ”

I didn't understand it, so he explained, "Anyway, this computer doesn't have a hard drive, and all the information is stored in the memory, and there is no record. As soon as the power is turned off, everything is zero.

I lit a cigarette, sat him down, and asked, "Isn't this high-end technology?" ”

He shook his head, "No. In fact, it is a relatively low-end technology. In many cases, it is used in multimedia classrooms and Internet cafes in universities. This way, there won't be so many viruses and reinstalling the system. ”

I sighed. The heart said that it was really leaky. However, in the state of my third uncle and this person who lives in the dark room all the year round, how did these things come to fruition? There must be someone who understands technology to guide them.

I don't believe that the third uncle is a person who has secretly practiced a lot of modern knowledge, and there must be such a person.

I sighed and asked him, "So you double-checked the two computers, is there anything strange?" Is there anything different? ”

He scratched his head, sat down next to me, and said, "I don't know if to talk about it or not." I said, "Speak, tell me and I'll give you more money." ”

He said: "I have been repairing computers in the computer city for many years, and I have seen all kinds of computers, and I believe that Uncle San, you are one of the best in the antique industry, then I believe it, but you also have to believe me, I have repaired computers for so many years, and any computer in my hands, I can see what kind of person the owner is and what habits he usually has." I can even tell whether I am fat or thin, what my personality is, and what I like to play on the computer. ”

I lit a cigarette for him, and when I saw that the boy said this, his eyes lit up with pride, and I thought it was funny.

When he saw me light a cigarette for him, he was immediately encouraged, and said, "You may not believe it, but I'll give you an example, the computer used by a gamer and a writer is absolutely different, including the wear and tear of the keyboard, there is a big difference. I can tell by the wear and tear of the keyboard,"

I nodded and asked him to continue, and he said, "This computer is a popular model from seven years ago, which means that this computer has basically been used for seven years, in this day and age. This has been used for a long time. But I checked all the parts and I found a very bizarre place. He paused. Basically all the parts of this computer are not worn. ”

I frowned, realizing that what he said could indeed be valuable.

"We know that if a person uses a keyboard, the grease on his fingers will definitely get on the keyboard, no matter how clean the person is, after using it once, the grease will form a film on the keyboard, and then there will be dust attached to it to form dirt. A computer that's been used for seven years, no matter how much you love to be clean, this dirt is inevitable. ”

"You just say what you mean."

"The keyboard is too clean, the mouse's wheel is too clean, and this cleanliness is not the cleanliness after wiping. Be aware that mice are very difficult to clean. How clean is this? If the computer has just been taken out of the warehouse, it will not be so long after. However, judging by the degree of oxidation and yellowing of the mark and shell of this computer on your desk, it is true that it has been sitting outside for a long time, so there is almost only one conclusion. "These two computers are rarely used, almost never used." ”

I touched my chin and fully understood what he meant, and I patted him. The heart said: Damn, that's what happened.

In the past seven years, if the third uncle has often used the computer to communicate with people in the darkroom, this will definitely not be the case. However, the computer is definitely placed here, and I can see it every time I visit; If the computer is not used very often, but it is placed here, and the task of communicating with the people in the dark room is also taken care of......

This is a contradiction, and the evidence is contradictory.

"It's a trap, shit." I snuffed out the cigarette butt and cursed myself inwardly.

This is a tentative mechanism, when the people in the dark room sense that something is wrong here, he uses this computer to send messages, if it is really the third uncle. Maybe it will reply to the agreed code.

However, I didn't think so deeply and didn't think about it that much, so I fell for it at once: after so many conversations, I always thought I was testing him. Now it seems. He replied so smoothly, but he was testing me. In all the games, I was at a complete disadvantage.

From this terrible trap and set-up, it can be seen that the battle of wits between these forces has reached an indescribable level. Everyone walks on thin ice, and everything they do must exhaust their ability to calculate.

"Uncle, what do you want to find out from this, tell me if it's convenient for you, so I have no direction." He could tell from my look that I agreed with him, and his enthusiasm immediately increased. "Wu Xie, that kid used to always ask me to check things, and it's much easier to check if you have a purpose."

I snorted and said, "I'll tell you a story." ”

So, I made up a very ambiguous story about what happened in this house and told him about it.

After listening to it, he thought it was very funny: "This is simply a spy war drama in World War II"

"I just want to find this person, this person must be a key."

"But it doesn't make sense." He said, "Uncle, the story you just told doesn't make sense. (To be continued)
