Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

The White Queen: "Please tell me."

Lin Ning: "...I want to know the promotion rate of the smart bus system in Wilmington."

White Queen: "Before the explosion, 95.8%."

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows: "Not bad."

"Then bring up the 'black box' of that bus, and combine it with our satellite system to restore the scene of the explosion." Lin Ning paused and said: "If there are passengers who did not use the smart bus system, they will be marked with a black plane silhouette .”

White Queen: "Oracle Cloud Computing has been successfully launched."

"Connect to satellite."

"The scene of the explosion is undergoing three-dimensional restoration."

"The restoration is complete."

As the White Queen's notification sounded, the original projection was zoomed to one side, replaced by the stereoscopic projection of the bus that exploded, and then the figures were projected on their respective seats one after another, most of them were restored by "real names" ——When the smart bus system is popularized by the public, although the real-name system is not required, the mobile phones or bus cards used will sell their personal information.

"I saw Alan Webster." Lin Ning walked on the aisle of the bus and came to Alan Webster who was sitting in the middle seat of the bus. Behind his seat was an all-black man. Shadow, in the hands of the all-black shadow is the black umbrella with the roadside bomb.Of course, there is another "man in black" on this bus, but the "man in black" is sitting at the rear of the car, and considering the popularity of the smart bus system, this "man in black" should be There is no smart bus system.

But just in case, Lin Ning still told the White Queen: "Refer to the survey data of the local police station on passengers."

White Queen: "It's in progress."

Later, the "man in black" at the rear of the car was replaced by the virtual person, which means that the "man in black" was in the car when and after the explosion, and he would not be a suspect.

"Okay, get rid of the suspicion." Lin Ning stepped back to 'Alan Webster', "Call up Mr. Webster's schedule, let's see if he is in the wrong place at the wrong time." Place."

The White Queen: "Where's the other deceased, Kane Nichols?"

Lin Ning: "...Let's look at Ellen Webster first." Didn't he and the other deceased have the priority of getting to know her?Although Lin Ning is not very willing to do this, so many blood and tears in the past told her that this "priority" is basically more related to the truth.

White Queen: "Oh."

Lin Ning covered his face.

Soon the White Queen got Alan Webster's schedule from the University of Delaware. It can be seen that in his schedule, there is a plan to visit David Moore, who is an authority in the field of artificial intelligence. And from the University of Delaware to David Moore's home, it is true that taking this bus can go directly to the vicinity of David Moore's home.

Then there is another deceased, Kane Nichols, who was an insurance salesman, with no major problems in performance, bank statements, emails with customers, etc.

Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "Let it explode."

Then the bus approached the station, and the man in black rang the bell to indicate that he was going to get off at this station. The bus slowed down and slowly stopped at the station.

After three seconds the bus accelerated and started, and four seconds later the bus exploded.

The bomb that had been placed behind Alan Webster's seat was detonated, sending fragments flying.

Even though it was in a virtual environment, Ke Linning still frowned subconsciously, and when she calmed down later, she said, "Reorganize the bomb."

Soon the reassembled virtual bomb was dropped in front of Lin Ning, and the pattern on the bomb was also restored.Lin Ning dragged it over and zoomed in on it. After staring at it for a while, he said uncertainly, "A robot with no head and wings? My dear, what do you think?"

White Queen: "I have reservations about your guess."

Lin Ning: "I'm not speculating, I'm speculating——the proportion of young people who have promoted the smart bus system will only be higher than 95.8%, but this suspect is not using it. In excluding him knowing that the smart bus system exists' black box', but refuses to use the smart bus system, then he is more likely to be resistant to the use of high technology. In this case, I judge from reason, not out of my own appreciation, that is more likely It's a headless robot."

After Lin Ning finished speaking with reason and evidence, he still couldn't figure it out: "But what do those two wings mean?"

The White Queen didn't answer the question, she just reminded: "Emilia, I think you need to take a look at this."

Lin Ning looked in the direction the White Queen pointed her out, and couldn't help but froze.

Wilmington Police Department

After finishing the press conference, JJ and Hodge hurried towards the police station.

JJ asks Hodge, "Do you think that's helpful?"

Hodge said: "His information has not been made public, which should make him very anxious." They said that in order to let unknown persons take the initiative to contact them so that they could have more information.

JJ pursed his lips: "What if he doesn't call?"

Hodge's feet felt windy: "Red and Morgan are analyzing the explosives, maybe they have clues."

When the two of them returned to the police station, Emily and Rossi also came back. They didn't gain anything. There was no roadside monitoring on that section of the road, and everyone's attention was attracted by the explosion at that time, and no one paid special attention to it. to unknown persons.Fortunately, Rhett and Morgan have gained something. After they collectively observed the picture of the unknown person who is the soul painter, they temporarily thought that it was a headless robot.

"Then he's an anti-tech guy," Emily said.

Morgan took out his cell phone and dialed his big baby Garcia: "Hey sweetheart, can you do me a favor?"

Garcia smiled and said, "Just let the horse come here."

"Look up the revolt in Wilmington," Morgan said.

Garcia pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Morgan, let's make something more difficult. What you said doesn't excite me at all." Garcia called out the list of complainants in Wilmington, and Morgan asked her Is there any anti-tech.

Garcia: "Oh? My deadly enemy. Wait, what did I find? At the University of Delaware a month ago, an unknown young man smashed several computers in the laboratory and shouted 'we're going to A slave to the machine'—it's too bad for me, I'm completely surrounded by machines."

Morgan smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I will protect you."

Garcia's meaning was very unclear: "This makes me excited."

Morgan laughed heartily, and everyone else was surprised.

After Garcia and Morgan used to "flirt" a few words, they immediately returned to her "kingdom": "I'll send you the video right now."

Hodge asked, "Anything else, Garcia?"

Garcia waved his fingers: "Oh, there is also an Internet cafe near the University of Delaware that was also attacked. The school newspaper said that 'the explosion of the campus Internet cafe pointed to the anti-technology front', and someone used a disk bomb Four computers were blown up, but fortunately no one was injured, and the key is that he left a note saying 'In the end you will be eliminated like technology', the signature on it is the anti-tech front, I am digging deep Its information currently only knows that it is a radical organization that was established only recently."

Rossi asked, "What else is on the note?"

Garcia flattened his mouth: "There is another funny illustration, which has been sent to your computer."

The members leaned in front of the computer, saw the funny illustration in Garcia's mouth, and then all looked at Red - the illustration was similar to the robot drawn by Red, anyway, it was the same style of painting, but this robot was not Just without the wings.

What's more, they didn't think it would really be a headless robot before this, but now they believe it, but the mood is a little delicate. After all, without this enlarged illustration, they would not be sure that the pattern engraved on the bomb is A headless robot, and if that's the case, then I don't know what to say.

Rhett: "..."

Garcia didn't know the story on their side, and continued to speak energetically: "The data is being transmitted."

"Transmission is complete."

Hodge said blankly, "Thank you, Garcia."

"Wait, sir, I just got a facial recognition program recently. If you think it's necessary, I can perform facial recognition on an unknown person in the video to see if I can restore his face? But I may need a little more Time." When the unknown young man smashed into the laboratory, he was photographed by the camera in the laboratory, but he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, but the camera did not capture his front. For Garcia, she could use his face Recognition software for facial simulation.

Hodge raised his eyebrows slightly, because he knew exactly where Garcia got the facial recognition software, and the others knew it too, but none of them said it outright.

Only Reid said ignorantly: "Both the attacks happened at the University of Delaware. The unknown person is likely to belong to this university, because it is very likely to be his comfort zone. Garcia, identify his face." Come out, we can send the police to the University of Delaware to ask."

Garcia quickly said, "I think so too."

Hodge eventually said: "Do your job, Garcia."

Garcia treated Hodge as acquiescing to her proposal.

Hodge looked around: "Now we can publish the profile."

NEMESIS Underground Base

Lin Ning said with a tangled tone, "If I said that I subconsciously realized something was wrong just now, wouldn't it sound like an afterthought?"

The White Queen: "Given the fact that the passengers who disembarked were not harmed by the blast in the police report, that suggests an unusual parameter was missing in our simulation."

Lin Ning: "We are."

What's going on here?

It turned out that what the White Queen showed Lin Ning was the fallen "man in black", that is, the suspect they had simulated - referring to the time difference between when the bus stopped and the explosion started, and considering the time for normal people to get off the bus. Under normal conditions of speed and pace, the man in black should have been affected by the explosion, at least he would have fallen to the ground, but the detonator picked up by the police was still a few meters away at this moment.

The normal parameters do not make sense.

But if the man in black got out of the car quickly and trotted towards the opposite direction from where the bus was going, he would not be cautious enough.

No, it's not just a matter of caution, it's a matter of reaction time.Because it takes time not only to get out of the car, but also to take a few steps outside, and it also takes time to react when taking out the detonator to detonate. Is seven seconds enough for these steps?

Lin Ning sat down and was about to conduct a simulation on this, but his mind suddenly moved: "In the name of the investigation team established by NEMESIS in response to the accident that Alan Webster encountered, ask Alan Webster's Assistant, did he want to take the bus on a whim, or did he plan to take this bus? Or he had no other choice and had to."

The White Queen replied later: "Mr. Webster's assistant, Ms. Roy, said that he originally planned to drive to visit Mr. Moore, but the car couldn't start before leaving, so he had to choose to take this bus. Looked it up, the last time Mr Webster sent the car in for a routine inspection was three days ago."

Lin Ning: "Ugh—"

White Queen: "Emilia, what did you think of?"

"As far as I know so far, I can't make a conclusion. I can only say that this case is not as simple as it seems." Lin Ning rubbed her brows, and she injected the parameters by herself to get off the car and press the detonator. Simulate the process, and said to the White Queen: "Come and check the anti-technical elements in Wilmington."

The White Queen tracked down the destruction of computers in UD labs and campus internet cafes, as well as a new militant group, the Anti-Tech Front.

Lin Ning was thoughtful: "Aside from the strange problem of the time difference, I can explain everything else, and I can also give a profile of the suspect:

The destruction of the computer, the lack of explosives in the bus bombing, the limited casualties, and the phone calls to the major media before the explosion all show that his main purpose is to cause panic.Furthermore, he is a personal target bomber, coupled with anti-technology, then there must be 'college aviation bomber' Hildor Kaczynski among the people he admires, and the next thing he has to do is to publish his Manifestos, like Hildor Kaczynski wrote Industrial Society and Its Future.

The suspect is also smart, irritable in character, not easy to get close to, easily emotional, and looks like a freak to outsiders. If he is arrested, no one who knows him will be surprised. "

Douglas Oshko divided bombers into criminal, collective target, psychotic, and individual target types; and "university aviation bomber" Hildor Kaczynski was a bomber who appeared in the 80s. The mastermind of the serial bombings in 17, the FBI did not capture him until [-].It is worth mentioning that Hildor Kaczynski has an IQ of [-]. He is a top student at Harvard University and was an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Berkeley University.

Lin Ning propped his forehead and said: "Let's check now to see if anyone knows that Alan Webster is going to visit David Moore today, I guess the other party made Alan Webster's car stop in advance gone."

As she spoke, she pulled her hair and said in distress, "I still can't figure out something."

"By the way, restore the face." Lin Ning suddenly thought of the facial recognition program she had written with the White Queen, and she also shared a simplified version with Garcia.It's not that she is reluctant to give Garcia the original version, it's just that she needs strong hardware support. Although Garcia has rare hardware and software, it still can't compare with hers, so it can be said that she deliberately Made a new version for Garcia.

Lin Ning didn't have a chance to use it before, but now he can use it to restore the unknown person who smashed the computer video in the laboratory.

"He couldn't do without the University of Delaware for both activities, which means that the University of Delaware is his comfort zone, so he is most likely a student or faculty member of the University of Delaware. When the face is restored, and Te Do a cross-comparison with the database of the University of Delaware."

Sure enough, under the cross-comparison, a junior at the University of Delaware surfaced: Richard Garrett.

And he fits the profile, that is, he usually walks alone and has a weird personality. He had an argument with his classmates over a trivial matter, which escalated to a physical conflict, so he was demerited by the school.

However, the problem is that Richard Garrett is not a student of Alan Webster, and he is not qualified to enter the research team led by Alan Webster, and thus know Alan Webster's itinerary.

This discovery made Lin Ning suddenly enlightened: "Maybe there is another suspect."

Whether the other suspect was a personal target bomber like Richard Garrett is unclear.Maybe this person's goal is just to get rid of Alan Webster, that is, to have a personal grudge with him?Lin Ning was lost in thought.

After a while, the White Queen interrupted her: "Emilia, there is another bombing."

Lin Ning was taken aback: "So fast? Where is it?"

It turned out to be a gas station, but the gas station was closed at this time, which means that the explosion did not cause casualties.

Lin Ning thought for a while but said, "Let's go to Alan Webster's laboratory."

It was said earlier that NEMESIS and Alan Webster have a cooperative project, and this cooperative project is not so much a cooperative project, it is better to say that NEMESIS sponsored a research by Alan Webster, but it is only a cooperative project That's all, and Alan Webster's team was built by him and is not included in the ranks of NEMESIS staff, so NEMESIS does not have their files.

Lin Ning had to go there himself.

As for the name?Lin Ning had already thought about it before. She asked the White Queen to contact Webster's female assistant, all in the name of the NEMESIS special investigation team, even though the special investigation team had just been established.

·

The BAU has rushed to the gas station, and has searched nearby a document bag, which is placed on the headless robot picture, and inside is a bound paper, up to twenty pages, called "A Practical Guide to Living" ".

"It was his manifesto," Rossi said.

Rhett picked up the manifesto without hesitation, as a genius with a photographic memory and the ability to read 3 words per minute (the average speed of American adults is [-] to [-] words per minute), "Give me [-] minutes. "

Morgan gave him a sideways look, then met Emily's gaze, and he shrugged.

Emily smiled. She is also used to Rhett's genius style. She remembers that once they encountered a case that required the application of a particularly difficult algorithm. Rhett said that such an algorithm is usually calculated by a computer. And he himself said that computer calculations are not as good as his calculations with his brain, which really pricked her IQ heart invisibly.

Rhett knew nothing about the mental activities of the two of them, so he held the manifesto and looked at it at a glance. It felt as if the speed of turning a page could not match the speed of reading that page.

In less than 3 minutes, he finished reading the book called "A Practical Guide to Living". "This is very strange."

Hodge asked: "What's strange? What request did he make?"

"Stop all automatic machines." Reid flipped through the manifesto again, "I'm not wondering about this."

Morgan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't that weird? Stop all automatic machines? It's too impractical, okay?"

"I know. I just—" Rhett pursed his lips, "Our profile is that the suspect is an anti-technical element, and most of the passages in his manifesto express this idea, although I think his tone Often the necessary logical basis is lacking, and some of the ideas are downright fanciful. But there is also a small, very small part that exhibits a kind of postmodernist thinking that technological invention is an art, which is paradoxical. "

Hodge: "Are you sure?"

"Yeah," Rhett nodded, "Even though this part is trying to cover up, the meaning between the lines is exactly that, and I think the writer of this part has a deep scientific background, like this paragraph—"

Rossi interrupted: "You mean this manifesto was written by more than one person?"

Rhett: "...um."

Emily was a little confused: "Our previous profile didn't speculate on the existence of a second suspect, so what's the situation now?"

JJ said suddenly, "One of the two dead in the bus bombing, Dr. Alan Webster, he was kind of a computer genius, a pioneer in the field of artificial life, and his seat was right in front of the umbrella."

After thinking about it, Hodge said: "Maybe our suspect's target is not the smart bus, but him." He gave an order to JJ, asking JJ to contact Alan Webster's contact person, or his family or Colleagues, let's see when they ask.

JJ got it done in no time.

Hodge assigned Rhett and Morgan to go to Alan Webster's office together. Morgan was in charge of driving, and Rhett sat in the passenger seat with his messenger bag in his arms, blankly and didn't know what he was thinking.

Morgan: "Red?"

Rhett: "Huh?"

Morgan: "What were you thinking?"

Reid said honestly: "I'm thinking about NEMESIS. Not only has it made amazing achievements in the medical industry, but it has also dabbled in high-tech recently. Didn't I tell you before that the smart bus in Wilmington is theirs. Did you provide technical support, and I asked Garcia, and she said that Dr. Alan Webster and NEMESIS have a cooperative project, so I wonder if NEMESIS is also the target of the suspect?"

Morgan doesn't quite agree with this idea: "Look at the targets that the suspects have attacked so far, such as computers, smart buses, and automatic gas stations. No matter how you look at it, NEMESIS does not meet the standards of a suspect."

Rhett let out a "huh": "Maybe, I can't say right now."

Meanwhile, the founder of NEMESIS has arrived in Alan Webster's laboratory.The assistant was in charge of receiving her, and after Lin Ning showed her ID, she was welcomed in.

It was already night, and no one else in the laboratory was there. After all, Alan Webster's death caught them by surprise and they couldn't concentrate on their work. Instead of being anxious in the laboratory, they might as well do other things , Moreover, they are basically students of Alan Webster, and their homework is also very heavy.

The assistant came over with a glass of water: "I have notified them to come over."

Lin Ning nodded: "Apart from you, who else can see Dr. Webster's schedule in advance?"

The assistant thought for a while and said, "Davis. Isaac Davis, he is the doctor's most valued student. In addition to being a doctor's assistant in the laboratory, he also serves as a doctor's assistant in the school."

Lin Ning was thoughtful, and then asked, "Is it just him?"

The assistant nodded: "The doctor pays attention to personal privacy. Private itineraries are recorded separately, and only Davis and I know."

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows slightly: "Davis, you call him Davis."

Assistant Miss: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"You don't seem to like him very much. Did he do something to offend you? I know that even on campus, certain things cannot be avoided." Lin Ning pointed out.

"No, Davis, he never sexually harassed me, he just couldn't get along with me." The assistant pouted slightly, trying not to be rude, and chose the way of understatement as much as possible: "You know, genius common problem."

Lin Ning subconsciously judged whether she was the so-called genius. Before she could come to a conclusion, the assistant lady apologized: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to insinuate you."

Lin Ning: "Huh?"

The assistant smiled and said, "You are working for NEMESIS at such a young age. You must be a genius if you think about it. You must know how many people can't even dream of becoming a NEMESIS employee."

Lin Ning didn't miss the change in the assistant's expression when she said the following sentence, and her heart moved slightly: "Including Davis?"

The assistant was taken aback for a moment, and said in embarrassment, "Maybe, I guess."

Lin Ning said casually: "Dr. Allen Webster is a leader in the field of artificial life. Davis will surely succeed if he follows him. I'm afraid he has no interest in joining NEMESIS." Then, she noticed The assistant's disapproving expression changed, and she became hesitant to speak, but just when she was about to say something to refute Lin Ning's denial, Isaac Davis came back.

It was clearly autumn, but Isaac Davis was sweating profusely and was still out of breath. It could be seen that he had rushed back.Isaac Davis is only in his early twenties. Considering that he has become a doctoral student of Alan Webster, he can indeed be called a genius, although he is not that genius, at least far less On Dr. Spencer Read.

When Isaac Davis faced Lin Ning, he didn't show his arrogance so obviously, probably because Lin Ning was a member of the NEMESIS special investigation team.And Lin Ning took a shallow breath, and smelled the smell of explosives left from Isaac Davis, and at least three kinds of gasoline smells, and considering that the latest explosion was at a gas station, and Isaac Day Weiss is the only person who knows the whereabouts of Dr. Webster, and Lin Ning has reason to suspect that he is the hidden suspect.

"Mr. Davis, nice to meet you. I heard from Ms. Roy that you seem to be the acting head of this laboratory now."

"I am." Isaac Davis affirmed, "I don't understand why NEMESIS is investigating the cause of the teacher's death. It's been said in the news, isn't it? I think NEMESIS should decide the smooth progress of the experimental project." ?” He paused before adding: “After all, it is the teacher’s hard work.”

Lin Ning said in a business-like tone: "I just got the order from the chairman to thoroughly investigate this matter, other things are not within the scope of my duties."

"Chairman?" Isaac Davis' voice couldn't stop rising, and his expression became slightly agitated: "You mean the chairman is paying attention to this matter? How did he give instructions? I mean about the experiment Project, know that it is not only the teachers who have worked hard for it, but also me, and others have worked hard for it, and we all hope that it will be successful, for the benefit of the chairman, NEMESIS and the public.”

Lin Ning: "..." When did she become 'him'?

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that this Isaac Davis seems to admire the chairman.No, it's because his ambition is almost overflowing, Lin Ning said calmly: "What you said is very reasonable, but I don't know if you, as the acting person in charge, have any good suggestions?"

"I do," Isaac Davis raised his chin slightly, "but I think I should tell the chairman or the director who is in charge of this project, don't I? No offense meant."

Lin Ning didn't feel any disturbance in his heart, but he said in surprise on his face: "What project supervisor? There is no project supervisor here."

Isaac Davis was stunned: "What?"

Lin Ning pointed out: "I mean that Dr. Alan Webster is in charge of this project from the beginning to the end, and NEMESIS is just acting as a sponsor. Of course, when the project achieves success, NEMESIS will have the priority to cooperate." Alan Webster was also a genius, and he had some of the qualities of a genius, like pride.

At this time, the assistant who was waiting in the front hall received a call from the doorman. What the doorman said, the assistant nodded: "I see, please come in."
