Chapter 9: The Case of Memory Theft
The status of ice water today is completely different from what it used to be.
Although the status of media reporters on the island of happiness is very high, the "chief" reporter is the king of journalists.
There is only one position for the "chief". The biggest difference between it and other reporters is that only the chief can take the initiative to interview the "Tianen Group" as the parent company, and is also qualified to interview other head offices. And in principle, at least the Tianen Group will not shy away from the "chief" question. Other head offices often give the chief face as well.
Other reporters who want to interview Russell have to wait until the "chief" has asked all the questions.
After that, Russell could also choose not to be interviewed by them and just leave. There will be no rudeness in this and it is completely allowed.
In other words, the "chief" is the journalist who has the most contact with the head office.
If you want to become a "chief", first of all, there are hard standards in appearance. Because of this, this position is usually filled by young people, which can basically be said to be a step to the sky.
As long as he can live to retire or change jobs at the age of 30, this qualification is enough to enter the middle management of Tianen Group, or the top management position of its subsidiaries.
Yes, you can retire "to the age of thirty", because you can't live any longer.
As the "king of journalists" who has the highest level of interview power in the world, and has access to the most secrets and the most big people, the "chief" is a matter of course...... He is also the most vulnerable journalist to die violently for various unknown reasons.
The reason why the inferior ones were so hateful before was because before Russell's inauguration, Xiao Liuli pulled the inferior ones to ask questions every day.
As a result, ask a sentence and blow up a sentence, and every sentence can be published. The inferior can become an emoji and second-creation video material on the island of happiness, and Xiao Liuli's malice obviously accounts for a considerable proportion of it.
That is, the inferior is not as knowledgeable as her, otherwise she would have found an opportunity to drive a mud truck on her way off work.
And later Miss Bai Xue had a lot of peace of mind - she was a typical person, and the questions she asked were not so sharp, highlighting a hello and I'm good.
Even when I interviewed Russell, I would check with Russell beforehand to confirm what questions could be asked and which questions could be asked. Then temporarily cross out what can't be said, highlighting a cautious and full of strong desire to survive.
But even such a Miss Bai Xue committed suicide by jumping off the building.
"What I want to ask is...... Do you have any clue about the death of Bai Xue's predecessor? This is my personal request, not in the interview question.
"Also, don't be nervous," Bingshui tapped the badge on his chest to signal that it wasn't working, "haven't started the interview yet...... I don't dare to broadcast this thing. ”
Miss Penguin was a little helpless: "I'm also afraid of death."
"But if I don't know what Miss Bai Xue touched, I'm always worried that one day I'll make the same mistake as her. Just like Miss Bai Xue, he 'flew' out. ”
"Flying" is a more euphemistic way of saying "jumping off a building to commit suicide" on Happiness Island.
On the island of Happiness, where guns and poison cannot be bought, suicide requires skill and determination.
But because of the "happiness testing system", there will indeed be people who can't get by. "Flying away" is a relatively common means of ending one's life - after all, there are indeed many high-rise buildings on the island of happiness.
But basically everyone present would not believe that Miss Bai Xue "flew away voluntarily".
"As far as I can see, Miss Bai Xue is a pretty scheming girl."
Russell shook his head and replied seriously: "She is very cautious in what she does. I didn't feel like I was going to ask some terrible question and be silenced.
"It's also unlikely that something will go wrong...... Just last week, she wanted to ask me out for a while. ”
“…… And what's going on? ”
Delphinium was a little surprised.
"Well, but that's the bar. And it was already evening when she asked me out. I wasn't very good at drinking, so I turned her down. ”
Russell reminded, "You can go there and investigate...... Maybe she went on her own? ”
"What was Miss Bai Xue's last interview?"
Russell thought for a moment and added.
Bingshui replied without hesitation: "It was a kidnapping case seven years ago.
"Some time ago, the intervention of angels had brought the chaos in the lower town to a halt. It's also chaotic in the upper part of town, but there's really no news to be broadcast...... But if it can't be kept interesting, once the clicks on the official website of Tianen Daily go down, everyone's income will be reduced.
So Miss Bai Xue found another way. She made a project of 'unsolved and century-old mysteries', taking out the interesting and unsolved mysteries of the past few decades and more than ten years, conducting a round of variety show-style 'detective investigation', and then giving an ambiguous answer. The ratings for that show are quite high. It is the program with the highest ratings after she took over the class of Xiao Liuli's predecessors...... Even Tianen TV is planning to broadcast her collection of programs. ”
That would indeed be the highest.
Russell thought to himself.
She doesn't have a fixed and huge fan base like Xiao Liuli, and someone will call her even when she interviews for news.
Sometimes, after the interview, Xiao Liuli will sing a song or two — the giant stereo on her helicopter is used for this.
At the same time, she is not afraid of death like Xiao Liuli, and will find all kinds of sharp, interesting and even vicious angles to ask questions...... After getting used to Xiao Liuli's style, looking at Miss Bai Xue's style, it will inevitably feel boring.
But interviewing this kind of mystery ...... In other words, just the mysteries and weirdos of popular science are interesting enough in themselves.
Although Miss Bai Xue is a dog, she does the work of a mouse.
"The kidnapping...... Can you tell us about it? ”
"I actually know that, too."
Without waiting for Ice Water to answer, the delphinium replied, "I heard about it when I was in school...... At that time, there was a lot of uproar and caused a lot of controversy. You're not from Happiness Island, so it may not be clear.
"It was a very strange kidnapping. Because the kidnappers did not ask for a ransom in the first place. When the ransom was finalized, it was delayed again and again.
"Finally, wait until the ransom is paid. The kidnappers suddenly tore up the ticket and said angrily, 'How dare you inform the others'. And put the credit stick with the tracking locator, and burned it along with the kidnapper.
The hostage's son was sure that the credits in the credit stick had not been brought up at all. That is, the kidnappers look like they have nothing to gain in the end.
But after that, many of his skills suddenly disappeared. But the second-level secret key to store that technology is known only to his wife and son...... After an investigation by the Ministry of Cyber Security at the time, the final answer was that the person who extracted and deleted the technology used a first-level secret key. ”
In other words, it was the person who was burned to death who came to steal the technology. But this is simply not possible...... So it can only be the robbers who got the first-level key from him. But at that time, there was no trace of torture on his body, and he had already been cremated. ”
Bingshui added seriously: "That was the first 'suspected memory theft' case in the history of Happy Island. ”
