Chapter 216: Anyway, pay attention first
From the license plate can know the place of ownership of the car, from the tail mark and some characteristics of the car can be seen the model and approximate year of the car, there is a row of very thin advertising words on the lower edge of the license plate, written with the name and telephone number of 4S, although it was covered by sludge at that time, only a few numbers and two Chinese characters can be seen, but in the case of knowing the region, it should not be difficult to find the Toyota 4S or secondary dealer.
Then next, you can start with the user data of that 4S or dealer to see if you can find it. Comparatively speaking, this is easier and less dangerous than going directly to the taxi office.
However, this is still a bit troublesome, and Xiang Kun still wants to find a simpler and more direct way.
He continued to carefully recall the appearance and details of what the two men were wearing, what they had said, and the various circumstances of the car.
Then he recalled that there was a row of half-off stickers on the back of the car, and there were four and a half letters left, the first four were CHEC, and the second C had a dot in front of it, and the half letter behind the C could easily be seen as O.
So that sticker was originally a web address, ending with ".COM", and it is speculated that it may be similar to WWW....... website.
The sticker will be attached to the car, and it is likely to be the website of the company that purchased the car in the first place. Of course, it is also possible that the private car has put up the sticker of that website for some reason.
From the conversation between the two people, it can be clearly heard that they are leaving by plane, and they have come here to do business for the "company", and the Prado license plate belongs to the city, and it is obvious that it will not be the car that the two of them usually drive. It should be that after they get here, the "company" arranges it for them, or they find their own car.
Maybe it's a car rental platform?
Anyway, there was still a period of time before boarding, Xiang Kun began to search with these conditions, and after looking for a while, he did find a website that basically met the requirements, but this website is not a car rental website, but a car maintenance and repair website, with offline chain stores. The offline stores of the website are basically in the province, mainly in the two cities, the coverage is not wide, and the total number of stores does not exceed double digits.
In this case, this car may have been maintained at the store on this website before, and what discount was given, so this sticker was posted?
However, Xiang Kun rummaged through the website, but unexpectedly saw several promotional photos, which showed the maintenance personnel sent by the repair shop going out to "rescue" and checking the problems of the customer's car on the side of the road. The maintenance staff is a handsome and white brother, and the owner is a beautiful and lovely beauty, so it is obvious that it is posing for publicity.
However, what Xiang Kun noticed was an SUV used as a means of transportation for maintenance personnel in the photo.
It was a white Prado, and although it didn't have a license plate, and it looked much newer than the one the two men saw that night, it was the same car from several marks in the lower part of the vehicle's C-pillar.
In other words, the Prado was not maintained at the maintenance shop on the website before attaching the sticker, but was itself the car of the maintenance shop?
So why did they drive that car? And by what relationship?
However, through the tone of the two chatting, Xiang Kun felt that it was unlikely that they would borrow a car through their relationship, since they were out on business, the car was most likely arranged by the company or spent money to solve it.
The company they are talking about should not refer to this car repair and maintenance company, all the places covered by this company's chain stores do not need to be reached by plane.
Xiang Kun remembered a few promotions and advertisements he saw on the homepage of the website, and then went to check it and found that this company was acquired by "Shenxing Technology" last year.
No wonder there are many advertisements on the homepage, which look so characteristic of Internet companies, as well as various activities of "maintaining and sending off the dash cam", "participating in the recording of driving habits and sending maintenance vouchers and cash red envelopes", "participating in the experience of AI car butler recorder fuel card", "participating in the statistics of detailed fuel consumption and sending oil".
"Shenxing Technology" Xiang Kun naturally knows that this company is a model of black technology, and its popularity is not as good as that of giants in the fields of instant messaging, games, e-commerce, mobile phone manufacturing, etc., but in fact, they do a lot of things, with a wide range of applications, and are indispensable for many electronic devices, even if they are unique technologies in the world, with complete patent barriers, and extremely high profits.
In the previous paragraph, Xiang Kun also saw a news, saying that "Shenxing Technology" is testing the property management scheme of drones with AI, and has obtained licenses and permits, and is in trial operation in a pilot community.
Earlier, "Shenxing Technology" has also published a lot of various research results, and some of them have already begun to be put into use.
However, they rarely make their own terminal products in the civilian field, and most of the time they use the developed technology and patents to cooperate with other well-known and mature manufacturers to launch products. So many times, there is a high reputation in the professional field, but the public awareness is relatively poor.
And Xiang Kun also vaguely felt that "Shenxing Technology" didn't seem to want to be too famous, and every time he released various products and research, he disappeared immediately, and executives and bosses rarely spoke out.
What does a company like "Shenxing Technology" do when it comes to a car repair and maintenance company?
If you just want relevant data, you can get relevant big data by cooperating directly with such companies, or receiving other related apps and network companies, do you think that the data you get in this way is more effective and comprehensive?
So, those two people were sent by "Shenxing Technology"?
The "company" in their mouth refers to "Shenxing Technology"?
Of course, it is also possible that they simply don't know how to get the car, and it has nothing to do with the original maintenance company to which the car belongs, and the "Shenxing Technology" behind it.
However, in comparison, Xiang Kun is still more inclined to the fact that "Shenxing Technology" discovered vampires and mutated creatures.
The waiting hall sounded a radio tone, and Xiang Kun's flight began to board.
Although there is no direct evidence that the two people who left Caprado that night were working for "Shenxing Technology", Xiang Kun did not want to say goodbye in court, and he did not need solid evidence, he only needed free heart evidence.
So if he suspects "Shenxing Technology", then he will directly check "Shenxing Technology".
Under this investigation, Xiang Kun found out that "Shenxing Technology" was involved in so many fields.
From AI drones to programmable robot toys, from VR and AR game equipment to medical auxiliary equipment, from autonomous driving to new forces to make cars, from security equipment to the express delivery industry, there are all kinds of them, and now even the service industry of automobile repair and maintenance has been involved, and the acquisition and investment of enterprises are all over the country.
Moreover, "Shenxing Technology" is not a listed company, and many things do not have complete information, and they have to be checked from the news announced by themselves, and there are so many of them just announced by themselves.
Xiang Kun was dazzled, and felt that the company's development direction and strategy were too casual and strange.
The plane was about to take off, Xiang Kun turned off his mobile phone, sat in his position and looked sideways at the scenery of the airport runway outside, and flashed the names of the companies acquired and invested by "Shenxing Technology" in his mind.
There are many companies that he has seen or heard of in his daily life, but he didn't think at the time that what stood behind them was "Shenxing Technology".
For example, there is a courier company called "running very fast", although Xiang Kun has not used their services, he is impressed by them, because this name is too special and unforgettable among the courier companies called Xfeng, Xtong, and Xbang.
When Xiang Kun just checked the information, he saw the name of this express company, and he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
At first, he thought it was because he had known about the courier company before, and he had been impressed by the name before. But he soon realized that there must be other reasons for more than that.
So he carefully searched for the information and pictures of the "running very fast" express company in his memory, and then he remembered that he had gone to Yangcheng before and wanted to go to the place where Guo Tianxiang was located to "revisit the old place", so as to anchor and compare Guo Tianxiang's huge and complex memory fragments, and help him find useful information.
Later, when he went to Guo Tianxiang's residence in Yangcheng and the residence of the pigtailed female hacker Miqiao, he saw a "very fast" express van around his building.
He knows that this express company has a very advanced sorting system and warehouse management system, but it has not been rolled out on a large scale, and only has a small amount of business in several first- and second-tier cities in China, most of which are cooperation with enterprises, and there is very little private business, and the volume is far worse than those express delivery giants.
However, Yangcheng, as a first-tier city in China, has a "very fast" express delivery car, which is also normal, and the attention was on the people monitored by the police at that time, so Xiang Kun did not feel anything strange.
But now in retrospect, Xiang Kun suddenly realized that something was wrong - with the business volume of "running very fast", it was not normal for their vans to appear in those three locations at the same time. They are mainly engaged in the business of enterprises, and those three locations are actually not such a large number of enterprises gathered.
If "Shenxing Technology" had studied vampires and mutated creatures early on, then they had noticed Guo Tianxiang's abnormality, and they had noticed the abnormality encountered by Xue Anchor and the other three in Qinling, and sent people to monitor where Guo Tianxiang and Miqiao would appear, and sent people to collect samples and find wild boar carcasses in the Qinling Mountains, which would have made sense.
So "Shenxing Technology" has set foot in so many fields, and there are people in various places, in order to assist them in the investigation of mutated creatures that appear in various places?
Judging from the conversation between the two men that night, although they signed non-disclosure agreements and other things, they didn't seem to know much, and it was not clear what they were doing or what they were collecting was for.
So, assuming that "Shenxing Technology" is the "company" that is investigating this, how do their top management know about it? Is it the boss's instructions?
Xiang Kun checked before that Lu Chengan, the founder of "Shenxing Technology", was born in a mechanical parts processing factory in his early years and made a lot of money, and later began to enter the high-tech industry step by step. A few years ago, this boss Lu, who is over 70 years old, also entered the top 100 of the Forbes rankings. And because "Shenxing Technology" is not listed, many people think that the media's speculation about his net worth is too conservative.
However, Lu Chengan is more low-key than his company, there are very few video materials and introductions about him, and he has never been interviewed in the past 20 years, and the company's professional managers are dealing with the media.
Could it be that this Boss Lu is actually a vampire?
Xiang Kun guessed in his heart.
Although there is no direct evidence to prove his speculation, he has already listed "Shenxing Technology" and Lu Cheng'an as targets that need to be guarded against and paid attention to.
No matter how much you grasp, it is Xiang Kun's consistent way of doing things to get a result first, and then slowly verify and revise the result.
The plane arrived in Star City smoothly all the way, and Xiang Kun wanted to find the little chubby girl very easily, just sense the coin and A4 paper.
But he arrived in Star City too late, and the little chubby girl had already been picked up by her mother from kindergarten, and the chance encounter he had planned to pass by the kindergarten gate again had to be canceled.
Xiang Kun can easily do this, after all, in the induction, the coin and the A4 paper have been moving, and they should have been carried by the little chubby girl all the time.
But wouldn't this be too deliberate? If he met at the entrance of the kindergarten again, it could be said that he would pass through this neighborhood every time he came to Star City on a business trip, so it was normal to meet again. But if you meet it by chance in other places, it will be a bit too coincidental?
When he was thinking about the "encounter" plan, Xiang Kun had already called a car according to the induction of the coin, and put it all the way to a shopping mall, and not long after getting off the car, he saw Shiling's mother holding the hand of the little chubby girl shopping in the distance on the first floor of the mall.
Xiang Kun kept his distance and followed slowly, focusing on the two of them, listening to their conversation.
"Shiling, stop playing with coins, is it okay for mom to buy you ice cream, do you want to eat chocolate flavor or strawberry flavor?" Shiling's mother, who used to always prevent her daughter from eating ice cream, took the initiative to lure.
Liu Shiling raised her head and looked at her mother, and said strangely: "Didn't my mother always say that you should not eat sweets before meals?
"Uh......" Shiling's mother was speechless for a while, and she didn't know if she should be glad that the child was sensible, after all, Liu Shiling was about to fall asleep, her eyes couldn't be opened, and she could jump up again immediately if she had ice cream.
The coins in Liu Shiling's hand kept tumbling, looked at the dessert shop not far away, and said, "Mom, let's come back after dinner, I want to eat chocolate." Mom, let's go eat rabbit meat for dinner, I want to eat the kind of dry pot rabbit meat made by my bald uncle, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I really want to eat it. ”
Looking at her daughter's shining eyes when she talked about what she was eating, and the familiar appearance of subconsciously licking her lips and swallowing saliva after she finished speaking, Shiling's mother was inexplicably relieved.
In the distance, Xiang Kun, who heard this, immediately recalled the "map" of the mall he saw at the entrance when he entered the mall, and then walked up the escalator from the other direction to the third floor where the restaurants gathered, where there was a chain restaurant famous for making Sichuan-style rabbit meat.
