Chapter 10 Testing (I)
The advisor drank the tomato juice and calmly began his narrative: "DeWitt, I'll call you DeWitt, you always change your name anyway, don't you?" He sighed deeply: "The worst way to hide your identity is to make it up out of thin air." Because you're using a forged document, all you have is a name, and there's nothing behind it, and it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
And if you use an identity like Mike Byron, it will be much better, he is a flesh and blood person, as you can find, he has a family, his own life and education, and you can even speculate about his character from those materials. ”
"Hmph...... So may I ask you, advisor, have you found out who I really am? DeWitt came back to his senses a little and put on the arrogant attitude that he should have.
The advisor replied, "You mean Sam Hyndman?"
Devitt didn't answer, his twitching expression explained everything.
The advisor laughed, "Who do you think I am? As long as you polish your fingerprints, keep silent, and use a name that doesn't exist, I'm helpless?" hehe...... Let's talk about your so-called true identity, Sam Heideman, who dropped out of school at the age of fifteen and started a career as a professional thief on the streets of Detroit. From the simplest gambling traps to the later theft of art, forged bonds, etc., the guts and appetites have risen over the years, and the overall methods are also very shrewd, but you have a shortcoming, that is, you have spent hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars so far, but you have little savings, and once the money is almost spent, you have to commit the crime again. ”
"That's enough, what if you found out who I am, what is your purpose, why did you kill Mr. Luches?" said DeWitt.
"Huh...... Don't worry, I'm not talking about this......" The advisor said, "My purpose is twofold, one is to test.
In recent years, with the development of business and the increase in customers, I am quite overwhelmed, so I tried to find a high-IQ criminal to be my assistant. I've tested a few people before you, but none of them were ideal, and of course, you've disappointed me a lot.
I'll start with the beginning, I locked you in four months ago, got you to the bottom of it, and when you were almost ready to find a target, I started my plan. The first step is to give you an opportunity, which must be tempting enough for you to dare to take risks and do a big case. So, one day, when you turned on your computer and hacked into the Imperial Database, I secretly did something to help you open a channel, guide you to find the relevant information of the net alloy, and successfully stole the data. ”
"There's such a ......thing," DeWitt exclaimed, and his pride had taken a serious hit, whether as a liar or a hacker.
The advisor snorted coldly: "Hmph...... 'Science is the trend of the 22nd century', isn't it?"
DeWitt said, "How do you know that?"
The advisor said, "Of course I heard it. ”
"You installed a bugging device in Luches's office?!"
"No, I put a bugging device on you. ”
"Impossible!" DeWitt said categorically.
The advisor said, "Oh, you're so sure because you think the bugging device can only be installed outside the body, right?"
DeWitt's expression was like swallowing a fly this time.
The advisor smiled, "Remember the hot dog you had to eat every day when you first came to this city?"
Devitt was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The consultant went on to say, "The owner of the hot dog stall took my money, and every time you go, he will add a special ingredient to you, of course he doesn't know what it is, and he thinks it's just a few drops of ordinary sauce, some kind of prank of mine, but in fact, there are nano-sized robots hidden in that sauce."
This is the top military technology of today's empire, high-precision micro-machinery that can be decomposed and combined, stomach acid cannot be corroded, teeth cannot be crushed, a drop of sauce may have more than a dozen nanobots, if you put together thousands of such things that cannot be seen by the naked eye, their final volume is larger than a finger, you naturally will not swallow this hard foreign body. But if you swallow it dozens of times, you don't know it, so those ultra-micro machines are attached to the wall of your stomach, and after waiting for the number to reach the standard, they are spliced together, and the bugging device is complete. ”
DeWitt unconsciously touched his stomach: "You madman......"
The advisor said, "Okay, let's move on...... Before installing the bugging device, it is not difficult to grasp your movements, you can check the information on the computer, book a plane ticket, and all of them cannot escape my eyes. So when you were still studying the technology of net alloys at your residence in Miami, and had the general intention of coming to Chicago to work with the mafia, I came here before you, selected a Chinese student at a nearby university, and edited the photo of Mike Byron in the University of Illinois ******** library, and kept the rest of the information intact, so that I had a seemingly real identity.
Immediately after that, I caused some trouble for the Lucis family, and by a very 'accidental' chance, I had a fairly pleasant business with Sonny Luches, and I had contact with the local mafia family. Later, he came to me a few times, and I played my part and did something for him.
Not long after, at the end of January, you arrived in Chicago and I happened to receive a rather troublesome consulting business, which took a lot of effort to plan, but unfortunately, the client also messed up the plan, causing a professional killer organization I introduced to lose a lot of people in Venice, and they later wrote a rather heated email to intimidate me.
Anyway, I was quite busy during that time, so I thought I would use this time to install a bugging device for you to stay with you 24 hours a day. It took more than twenty days, and it was done, and I got out of that side and took another deal, a local Chicago deal.
By mid-February, as I had surmised, you were looking for the Luches family instead of Genovese. But I didn't expect to have a face-to-face contact with you, at first I thought I would just be a bystander, a little connection with the mafia, but as fate would have it, that stupid Sonny wanted me as a student to be a shield, so I was able to get up close and see how you were doing. ”
The advisor paused and took another sip of tomato juice: "I was a little surprised and at the same time a little happy when you opened your mouth and pretended to be a consultant without any scruples, not because you were complacent because you were imitated, but because I felt that your approach was very bold and had a certain practical effect." I even wondered if it was possible that you could discover my identity on your own, so I gave you a flaw about Mike Byron's identity. Unfortunately, you didn't notice it at all. ”
DeWitt couldn't remember the conversation at the Internet café that day, but said, "We only said a few words that day, and if you have any flaws, I'll notice them." ”
The advisor said, "Really, something like 'I even had a group of people at my old university set up a fan club for him.'" ”
Devitt reacted two seconds after hearing this: "'Before'!"
"English is your native language, but when I say 'former university,' you don't respond," the advisor said, "and a third-year student used the word and you didn't dig deeper, so I dropped the prompt." ”
