Chapter 18: Saving the Country with Curves
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?!
In the office of the Serious Crime Team, all our members were still immersed in the joy that the case had been solved, just waiting for Officer Wang's interrogation to end and make a closing report.
Now, we have the latest news from Officer Wang, and we are all frowning.
"Because he pressed the wrong number, dialed the wrong number, and then ...... Just detonated the bomb?! Jiang Tingbai first let out a cry of surprise.
Lin Zifan couldn't believe it, he kept rubbing his hair and kept asking: "How can there be such a coincidental thing in the world?" Are you sure? ”
Officer Wang nodded and said seriously: "The criminal police team has called to verify with the other party, the other party is indeed a merchant selling vegetables, and I have sent the criminal police to the scene to verify, everything is right." ”
"It's such a coincidence, it's almost unbelievable." After listening to Officer Wang's words, Xue Hang let out a long sigh.
"Survivorship bias." Li Meng suddenly said a word that was a little unfamiliar to us.
"What is survivorship bias?" I looked at her in bewilderment.
"It's a logical fallacy, which means that we can only see the results of some kind of screening, but we are not aware of the process of screening, and therefore ignore the key information that has been filtered out. In other words, this kind of coincidence happens all the time, but we only see this one, so I can't believe it. Li Meng explained slowly.
In any case, what is in front of us is the truth, although Hu Lianyang's phone call caused serious consequences, but this matter really has nothing to do with Hu Lianyang, and there is no way to convict him.
"Didn't you say that you had to call the designated phone to detonate the bomb? Why did Hu Lianyang have this call. Xue Hang thought about it and suddenly asked a key question.
As for this question, it is actually very easy to answer.
"Because until now, we don't know who made this bomb. It is also unknown whether the bomb has been modified by chips, and it is even unknown whether the bomb had to be called through a designated mobile phone. I let out a long sigh and explained slowly.
"It seems that the direction of investigation by detonating the bomb will not work, and it is still necessary to start the investigation from the source of the bomb, who made the bomb, and who planted it." Officer Wang shook his head helplessly, looking very lost.
Why don't we think we just caught the real murderer and the case can be solved, but now it seems that everything has to start from scratch.
And it's even more difficult.
"What about Hu Lianyang? Let him go? Li Meng asked.
Officer Wang spread his hands: "Now there are new suspicions in the case, and there is a gap in the evidence chain again, so I can only let Hu Lianyang go first." He was ordered not to leave Ningzhou City in the near future, waiting for the police to summon him at any time, and then sent people to closely monitor him to prevent him from fleeing secretly. ”
"Okay, don't think about it, the case is still ongoing, let's continue to work. Zifan, how about Qi Xuehui's public relations information from seven years ago and Meng Bochao's social relationship investigation that I asked you to investigate? I made up my mind and suddenly asked.
Lin Zifan nodded and rummaged through some documents from the desk.
"Meng Bochao is single, divorced from his wife eight years ago, he is a bomb maniac, only keen on making bombs, no serious long-term work, usually do odd jobs everywhere, social relations are very simple. He has a son named Meng Xiang, who is 22 years old this year, who went out to work after graduating from high school and has no criminal record. Lin Zifan introduced us to Meng Bochao's social relations.
I nodded and asked again, "What about Qi Xuehui's PR information?" ”
Lin Zifan put down the information in his hand and picked up a thick pile of information.
This is the external information of all the public relations departments he searched from the website of Changsong Culture Development Co., Ltd. seven years ago.
"I collected all the information that Qi Xuehui distributed to the outside world after she became the manager of the public relations department, and one of them was the content of the newspaper headline that Li Meng found. The company's public relations information reprinted the news content of Ningzhou Daily, and followed the tone of Ningzhou Daily to make a crazy criticism of online games. Lin Zifan said seriously.
As he spoke, he rummaged through the contents of the information in his hand.
"Is that the newspaper that was used to fill the bomb?" Li Meng suddenly opened his mouth and asked with some surprise.
Lin Zifan was still looking down, and at the same time said, "That's right, it's the content of that newspaper." ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "At that time, Qi Xuehui's company was also transforming, and they were preparing to change from making social software to making online games, why did the public relations department follow the trend and criticize online games?" Isn't this cutting off your own path?! ”
"Yes, yes, and now Qi Xuehui's main direction of work is to make online games, and almost all of the company's current income is the benefits brought by online games! That's weird, isn't it?! Li Meng nodded vigorously and put forward his opinion.
What Li Meng said is exactly what I want to say, because through our investigation of this company, especially the investigation of the financial department, all kinds of information show that this company is mainly engaged in the production of online games.
Normally, for the development needs of the company, all departments of the company will definitely strive to improve the quality of the online games produced by the company and the experience of players. More importantly, in terms of promotion, we must say that the benefits of online games can be belittled?
"But after all, Qi Xuehui is the manager of the public relations department, she will not be stupid enough to belittle the image of her company, she must do it for a purpose." Lin Zifan also felt strange, but there was no way to explain this matter.
He looked at us with a frown, puzzled.
"Perhaps, she is a curve to save the country." At this moment, Xue Hang suddenly spoke.
He doesn't speak often, and once he does, he will definitely be a blockbuster, and since he talks about saving the country with curves, he must have his own understanding.
All of us set our eyes on Xue Hang.
Xue Hang was watched by all of us, but he was still expressionless, and there was no emotional change in his heart.
It's really a wood, sometimes I really feel strange, how did Su Yumei like him fall in love with him, Su Yumei and his character are completely opposite, a fiery character.
Maybe that's complementarity.
Xue Hang calmed down, cleared his throat again, and said slowly: "That stage is a critical period for the company's transformation, and they have to jump from a familiar field to an unfamiliar field. Moreover, this field is not a completely new field, there are already many mature companies with mature works. They want to squeeze into this field, there are only two ways, the first is to come up with a more perfect work, and the second is to make the platform strangled first, and then they squeeze in through the rift. ”
After listening to Xue Hang's narration, we all understood in an instant.
This is indeed a public relations tactic, although there is some malicious competition, but for shopping malls, it is no different from the battlefield.
They use all kinds of tactics against each other, and as long as they can win benefits for the company, all means are okay......
