【SABOTEUR】Files cannot be printed, copied, transmitted through any software, and cannot be stolen by hackers. When FBI agents backed up the files to Qi Ming, they encrypted them.Qi Ming has never thought of deciphering the files. After all, many elite FBI agents have gone through many on-site investigations and made countless logical analysis diagrams of the case, but they can’t find the mystery of the suspect. .

But now, he decides to release the puzzle that has been dusty for a long time and seek help from someone he can trust.However, there is a [-]% chance that it will be futile, but it is better than doing nothing.

Picking up the handset of the landline, Qi Ming connected the intercom call of Shangguan Yunfei from the Information Technology Department: "Feifei, this is Qi Ming, do you have time to come to my office? ... Oh, I have a file locked and cannot be copied , I need your help to solve it... Well, okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, he took off his glasses and rubbed his face.Working under the fluorescent lamp for a long time, the already fair skin becomes paler.Unlike Luo Jianan, who runs outside every day, his skin is as tanned as honey, and he looks so healthy and energetic.

Within 10 minutes, Shangguan Yunfei knocked on the door and entered the room.She almost never came to the medical examiner's office. When she entered the room and saw the bottles and cans on the shelf, she shrugged her shoulders unnaturally, with a forced smile on her face.She really admired Qi Ming and Gao Ren, who guarded the corpses, organs and tissue slices every day, and they could still eat next to this pile of things.

Qi Ming got up to get out of the way, let Shangguan Yunfei sit on his chair, and then pointed to the screen: "Just this file, see if you can solve it."

Shangguan Yunfei plugged in the USB flash drive to start the special "shelling" software, and dragged the files specified by Qi Ming into it for decompression and analysis.She quickly glanced at the run data, her expression became a little surprised: "Mr. Qi, this encryption program is very complicated, where did you get the file?"

Qi Ming hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth: "It's from the FBI."

"..." Shangguan Yunfei's eyes gradually froze, "The technical support in that place is all top programmers, right? Do you think... I can solve it?"

"Try it, Luo Jianan always said, you are the best."

Although Luo Jianan often complained that when Qi Ming was reincarnated and chose skill points, his IQ hardly left room for his EQ, but when facing a lady, Qi Ming never made the other party feel embarrassed.

"Brother Nan is really annoying, you're just talking nonsense." Shangguan Yunfei pursed her lips and smiled, her fingertips quickly wandering on the silver keyboard, and the program pages appeared one after another on the screen.She hardly uses a mouse and relies entirely on programming language to execute instructions.

Although Qiming is good at mathematics, he is really not interested in computer programs. However, there is still a book called "Abstract Thinking in C Programming" recommended by a professor at Stanford in his bedtime reading materials when he was studying. learn.He can probably see that the cracking algorithm run by the "shelling" software has gradually fallen into an endless loop.

"Huh", the program flashed back and returned to the original interface, Shangguan Yunfei immediately shouted: "Ah! There is an anti-cracking program in this file, it was detected!"

Qi Ming foresaw that it would not be so smooth: "Is there any other way?"

After all, it is FBI-level technology, Shangguan Yunfei frowned in embarrassment: "Well... Teacher Qi, if you are not in a hurry, I will study with the director later."

"Then let's talk about it when you have time."

Qi Ming smiled helplessly.If it wasn't for the entire document to be over 2000 pages long, he could have transcribed it, or directly used a camera to take pictures of the computer screen.

Blinking her curious eyes, Shangguan Yunfei asked curiously, "Are you still helping the FBI solve the case?"

"Not now, it's just an old case."

"Old cases? For old cases, look for the unsolved case team. Teacher Lin and the others are not very good at solving unsolved cases."

"Well, I'm going to ask Lin Dong for help, but I can't copy it, and I can't put my personal computer on him."

"Hey, it's simple," Shangguan Yunfei bent her smart eyes, "Mr. Qi, I'll take a new hard drive and copy all the data, install it on your computer, and put a shell on the original one. , when the mobile hard disk is connected to Mr. Lin’s computer, it’s amazing.”

"..."

Yes, why didn't I think of that?Qi Ming couldn't help but smile wryly.This situation reminded him of a joke that Luo Jianan told before: It is said that in order to remove the empty packaging boxes missed on the assembly line, a group of senior engineers drew pictures and changed the mechanical design, but they still could not meet the requirements, and finally the assembly line The previous worker took a high-power electric fan and placed it next to the conveyor belt, blowing all the empty boxes down in the blink of an eye.

So, for some things, smarter people don't come up with better solutions, and true knowledge comes from practice.He got into the nitty-gritty of cracking the locking program, and never thought about dismantling the hard drive.Probably not even the FBI agent who copied the file to him, and the programmer who wrote the locking program hadn't considered this trick.

Taking advantage of Shangguan Yunfei's time to copy the data, Qi Ming went to the office of the unsolved case team on the sixth floor to find Lin Dong.Lin Dong had just returned from his report to the provincial department. He was dressed in a neat police uniform instead of the comfortable and casual clothes of the past.He was about to pack his things and go home, when he saw Qi Ming entering the house, he had a premonition that he would not be able to leave early today, after all, the person who came here was the master of the Three Treasures Hall.

As expected, Qi Ming pulled up a chair and sat down, seemingly in a rhythm that couldn't make a long story short.Taking off his glasses, Lin Dong leaned against the edge of the table and asked while wiping, "What case?"

"Serial killer, I encountered a case when I was in the United States. At the same time, I was also one of the victims of this case." Qi Ming confessed frankly.

Lin Dong paused, raised his thick eyelashes covered by the lock of white hair hanging on his forehead, and said with a slightly hesitant tone, "You?"

Breathing out lightly, Qi Ming removed the rubber band from the ponytail, inserted his fingers into the hair, and showed Lin Dong the scars covered by the long hair: "He kidnapped me and live-streamed the 'How to Dissect a Forensic Doctor' video on the dark web. Tutorial."

"..."

Lin Dong originally thought that the death of his parents was already the biggest scar in Qi Ming's life, but he did not expect that even more shocking experiences had happened to him.To be honest, he always felt that he owed Qi Ming, after all, the professional killer who was ordered to kill Qi Ming's parents was his own brother.Being able to help the other party is a duty-bound thing for him.

Looking at the scar on Qi Ming's head that almost cut around his skull, he asked solemnly, "What can I do for you?"

"I have a 400 million-word investigation document in English provided by the FBI. You can help me read it again." Putting up his ponytail again, Qi Ming shook his head helplessly, "I'm a fan of the people involved, and I don't have any new ideas to come up with. .”

"Okay, give me a month."

"Don't worry, you should take care of the case at hand first, it's been several years anyway."

Lin Dong listened, turned his head to look at the group photo of himself and his seven deceased comrades-in-arms on the desk, raised his hand to press Qi Ming's shoulder in silence for a moment, and smiled gently when the other party looked up at him meaning.

It is a comfort, but also a promise——

"In the unsolved case team, even if it was a case 30 years ago, we treat it as if it happened yesterday...Qi Ming, I understand how difficult it is to be haunted by nightmares."
