Fire to the Abyss

Xia Yan frowned: "The one who hacked into the database of the public security system a few years ago?"

He Rong nodded solemnly.

Speaking of this Nine, this person can be regarded as a key figure in promoting the network security construction of the entire Chengzhou District-he attacked the firewall of the public security system database five or six years ago, causing the entire database to be paralyzed for 2 minutes.

During those two minutes, on all the computers that logged into the system intranet, there was only a picture of a creepy puppet doll, with "Nine" written in blood-colored letters on the doll's chest.

No blood was shed and no one was injured, but the shock of this case was no less than that of Eleven's insane serial murders - at least Eleven didn't scare the leadership of the district public security when a puppet doll suddenly jumped out during a meeting.

Nine acted very quickly and withdrew in time before tracking down his IP address. Later, after a comprehensive liquidation, it was found that there was only one thing missing from the database—Eleven's DNA sample data.

Since then, the entire Chengzhou District has paid special attention to data security, and hired a large number of network security experts to focus on improving the safety factor of the firewall to ensure that it will not be invaded again by criminals.

And Nine, who became famous in World War I, seems to have a lot of ambitions. Since then, he has frequently committed crimes, frequently invading various public network systems, and the time for each crime is quite short. .Only once three years ago, experts hired by the district to determine his specific location in the shortest possible time, the sofa was still warm when the police went to arrest him, obviously not long after leaving.

The person left in a hurry, and the traces at home were not dealt with in time, but fingerprints and DNA were collected, but the identity and whereabouts could not be determined after all.

The Cangcheng detachment team received a report from an Internet cafe network administrator a few days ago, saying that during a routine inspection of the customer’s screen, someone was typing code. This network administrator has a little professional knowledge, and the intuition is that the code is not ordinary, like some kind of virus. .

The network administrator felt something was wrong and went to check. Even though it was winter, the Internet cafe was fully heated. A group of Internet addicts took off their cotton jackets and rolled up their sleeves to play games. A wide-brimmed hat, fingers darting across the keyboard.

The network administrator immediately called the police, perhaps seeing the network administrator's small movements from the reflection of the screen, the man left the Internet cafe quickly, and wiped off the fingerprints on the keyboard before leaving.

When the police finally arrived, the man had disappeared, the ID card used for online registration was fake, and the surveillance in the Internet cafe did not capture the man's face.Fortunately, there is a supermarket next to the Internet cafe. The boss installed a hidden camera to prevent theft.

After identification by the network administrator, the mysterious man was finally found in the surveillance.The Cangcheng detachment immediately dispatched, rummaged through the surrounding trash cans, and finally found the coffee cup that the man drank, and extracted the complete fingerprints and DNA from the coffee cup. I don’t know if I don’t compare it, but a major breakthrough has been made after the comparison.

While Yang Ming was still explaining who Nine was to Xia Lin, He Rong's landline and Xia Yan's cell phone rang at the same time. The two quickly looked at each other and answered the call, and almost finished talking at the same time.

He Rong: "The suspect's hiding place has been locked in Cangcheng."

Xia Yan: "Old Zheng said that the superior sent us to help."

As soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, Zheng Xing and Liu Xiuyun walked out of the reception room.Liu Xiuyun's mood was obviously much more stable, and she even thanked Zheng Xing with a smile before leaving, and Xia Yan was taken aback for a moment - this woman can actually laugh!This woman actually pollutes her eyes so much when she smiles!

After sending Liu Xiuyun away, Zheng Xing called everyone into the conference room, and as soon as he opened his mouth, half of the people thought about going home for the New Year: "Xia Yan, you take a team and set off immediately to assist the Cangcheng Detachment. Zhang Chi, you take A group of people then went looking for Chen Zhifeng."

Before Zheng Xing finished speaking, there was already howling below, Zheng Xing ignored it, and left in a hurry after handing over the deployment rights to Xia Yan.

After Zheng Xing left, Xia Yan briefly described the findings of the Cangcheng detachment, and then slowly started recruiting people.Xia Yan ignored the hints in Xia Lin's eyes, and ordered a few strong, single men without wives and children to go to Cangcheng with him.Seeing that Team Xia was about to adjourn the meeting after routinely emphasizing safety issues, Xia Lin immediately put on a harmless smile and waved his hands high.

Xia Yan looked helpless: "Comrade, do you have any questions?"

Xia Lin obediently asked: "Captain Xia, how can I arrange it?"

Xia Yan's eyes lightly swept Xia Lin's body from bottom to top, and then said with a mean smile: "You, follow your Brother Zhang Chi to find Chen Zhifeng."

Xia Lin: "Captain Xia, I can play very well, why don't you think about it?"

"Okay, the meeting is over. The people who were called just now pack up quickly and leave in half an hour."

A group of people quickly dispersed in a well-trained manner, and only one dedicated anti-smoking supervisor was left in the meeting.Xia Yan rolled the portrait in his hand into a cylinder, strolled over and tapped on the dissatisfied Xia Lin's head: "Little friend, it's not enough if you can beat him. You obediently check Chen Zhifeng at home. I have a hunch that he There must be a problem, finding him may lead to a major breakthrough, come on, work hard.”

Xia Lin didn't reply, but lifted his chin and raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were filled with "I'm not happy", but in this place, Captain Xia covered the sky with his hands, and the expression on his face seemed to say "What's wrong? on."

Before Xia Yan left, he said to the disheveled Xia Lin: "I would like to remind you that one of the people you beat into a pig's head last time was Brother Chi's cousin." Xia Lin immediately wailed.

In fact, Zhang Chi is a very simple and honest person, what Xia Yan wants to imply will not happen, he just wants to scare Xia Lin.Since Xia Yan was promoted to the captain, the main police force of the Chengzhou detachment is a group of young people. Among this group of young people, Zhang Chi is relatively senior. He is in his thirties, and his ability is quite satisfactory, which is different from the duplicity of Xia Yan. , his behavior is as decent as his appearance, although Zhang Xiaowu is his cousin, but he has no relationship with him at all, he was admitted by his own ability.Zhang Chi never shows favoritism in official affairs, he is strict and meticulous in everything he does, he is the first to come and the last to leave in case of accidents, he has a good life style, and has no bad habits. When Yan was handling cases outside, he always acted as the temporary team leader.

When Zhang Chi went to Xia Yan's office to call him, he found that he was locking the bookcase treacherously.

Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Captain Xia, you haven't seen you lock this locker for ten thousand years, what's the matter, are you afraid that your younger brother will find the money when you hide it?"

Xia Yan waved his hand to signal Zhang Chi to close the door, with an expression like a dog whose tail was stepped on: "How do you know? Is it so obvious?"

Zhang Chi laughed: "I really guessed it right. Don't worry, I won't tell your brother, what else do you need to explain? If you are afraid that I will retaliate against Xiao Wu, then you don't need to say it. Don't you know what kind of character I am?"

Xia Yan pulled Zhang Chi and sat down on his chair: "Brother Chi, of course I know who you are, and of course it's not for this matter. I do hide something so that my brother can't see it, but it's not money, it's part of the puppet master Dossier. You also know about my father's case, don't let Xia Lin see it."

Zhang Chi recalled briefly, and asked, "I know about Senior Xia's case, why didn't you tell Xia Lin the truth?"

Xia Yan sighed: "How dare I tell the truth? If he has said it, he will definitely have to go and investigate it himself. If there is something good or bad, how can I explain it to my father?"

Zhang Chi nodded: "That's right, your brother has a bright mind, if you really find something, Baobuqi will be silenced by those vicious gangsters."

Xia Yan immediately stretched out his arm and made a cross, signaling Zhang Chi to shut up quickly: "Bah, bah, bro, how many times have I said that you should not be so unlucky, you are a serious crow mouth in our team! Anyway, I will go out During this period of time, you must help me keep Xia Lin in check, and you must not let him touch any dossiers related to the puppet master, and you must keep your mouth tight. This kid is very thief, don't let him talk about it."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore," Zhang Chi grinned, and slapped his chest: "Don't worry, Captain Xia, your brother will be handed over to me. No matter how clever he is, he is only a college student. How could he get something out of me?"

Xia Yan looked at Zhang Chi's confident expression, and the very standard smile on Guozi's face made people feel very reliable, so he was relieved a little, and after packing up, he led a group of people to the place as quickly as possible. Cangcheng.

Cangcheng is a small county town, originally under the management of Chengzhou. In recent years, when urban planning was carried out, it was designated as a new development zone, and then it was separated from Chengzhou. The Cangcheng detachment was only established in recent years. The police force of Xiaomen and Xiaohu is very limited, and they basically have to ask the Chengzhou detachment for a loan whenever they encounter a bigger case. Xia Yan has long been an old acquaintance here.This time, they accidentally found a big fish. The Cangcheng detachment was overjoyed and did not dare to act rashly. They immediately notified their superiors and invited for assistance.

Before Xia Yan's car turned off, Gao Jijun, the captain of the Cangcheng Detachment, came up to him with a smile on his face, and handed Xia Yan a cigarette. Xia Yan took the cigarette and put it in his mouth. smoked.

Gao Jijun's eyes narrowed with a smile, as if he had seen a living Bodhisattva: "Captain Xia, have you come here in a hurry and haven't eaten yet? I reserved a table at the Cangcheng Hotel to welcome the brothers. I'll call someone now Serve the food."

Xia Yan exhaled a smoke ring, waved his hand and said, "No need, the brothers are here to handle the case, let's talk about the case first."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Team Xia." Gao Jijun smiled very dog-leggedly, and greeted Xia Yan and his party inside.

Xia Yan knew Gao Jijun thoroughly after dealing with him a few times.This man was in his forties, with a friendly appearance, a wrinkled face with a smile, loose hair, and his hairline was receding year by year.The industry's famous wine bag and rice bag, going to work is equivalent to eating and waiting to die, and can do everything except solve crimes.Gao Jijun basically had no hope of arresting Nine. He must have pointed to Xia Yan's success in one fell swoop, and he would put the name of the Cangcheng detachment on his merits, so that he could use it as material for bragging.

Looking at Gao Jijun's shiny forehead, Xia Yan felt a burst of emotion in his heart - those youths that never came back were like Comrade Gao Jijun's hairline.When Xia Yan first entered the police station and worked under Gao Jijun, Comrade Gao Jijun's hair was not so thin.

Several people sat down in the conference room of the Cangcheng detachment, Gao Jijun immediately ordered his subordinates to serve them with good water and tea, and then began to pretend to talk about the case.In the middle of the talk, because there was too much nonsense, Xia Yan really couldn't bear it, and interrupted: "Captain Gao, you are tired after talking for so long, you sit down and drink tea and rest, let the criminal police who are following you talk about it."

Gao Jijun was really tired after talking a lot of nonsense on a hungry stomach. Hearing this, he nodded immediately, called a criminal policeman, and sat down opposite Xia Yan with his teacup in his arms.

The criminal policeman who replaced him didn't talk nonsense at all, and the group quickly figured out the situation.

After confirming that the mysterious man was Nine, the police called up all the cameras on his possible route, including those installed by some shops without permission.He is very good at camouflage, most of the cameras did not capture him, and the few that captured were only flashes, and none of them captured his face.The locations of the cameras that captured him were quite scattered, and they couldn't even form a complete route.The Cangcheng detachment has insufficient police force, and it is impossible to go to every possible route to guard.

Fortunately, he seems to be quite obsessed with coffee, and he was photographed holding the same coffee cup several times.This is the signature coffee of a chain coffee shop. There are more than a dozen such shops in this area. After some visits, the clerk of a coffee shop finally had the impression of a man who often came to buy coffee with a hat and a trench coat.The investigators squatted at the coffee shop and saw Nine come to buy coffee.The instruction given by Gao Jijun is absolutely not to act rashly to startle the enemy. If he is found to have lost his target, he cannot afford to take the blame.Therefore, everyone dared not stare too closely, and could no longer follow when there were few people.

The last place where Nine disappeared was a row of old apartment buildings. After the investigation, an old lady said that she had seen a sullen man with a hat coming down the corridor where she lived. Several known residents were excluded. The investigators confirmed that Nine's residence is one of the four houses on the top floor.

After Xia Yan listened to it, he first praised Captain Gao for not acting rashly and recklessly, and then praised the comrades who worked hard in the cold wind. Then he spread out the photos and layout plans of the unit building on the desktop, and started Study tactics.

Fortunately, although Gao Jijun is an idiot, he has a fairly clear understanding of himself and knows his weight.There are many people outside, and it is very difficult to capture it. It is a safe choice to capture it at home.And this unit building is old, the highest is only four floors, the buildings are close to each other, and there are many private sheds built illegally by the residents, which is like an escape route deliberately left for criminals.

Many old-fashioned buildings are hui-shaped buildings, with a patio in the middle, and four families on each floor occupy one side of the "Hui" character.If he failed to find the right location at the first time, Nine might hear the noise and escape from the roof or the window. If he missed this time, it would be very difficult to find him again.

"The main problem is to determine which room Nine is hiding in." Xia Yan took a sip of tea, the tea smelled fresh and elegant, and his lips and teeth were fragrant. It can be seen that Gao Jijun took out all his family assets in order to greet him comfortably, "After confirming Immediately arrange the arrest. I received the news that Nine is like a bond-like figure in the organization, and has direct contact with many key members. If Nine is controlled, the puppeteer will definitely be able to tear a hole and take down this cancer in one fell swoop. It's not impossible."

Xia Yan didn't talk much, but he was eager to say what everyone at the scene said. The shadow of the puppet master had shrouded the entire Chengzhou District for too long, and he was like a steadfast spiritual support among criminals.From the very beginning of Eleven's first crime, everyone was furious, and the district leader personally took the lead in supervising the investigation, vowing to make the murderer pay for the crime with blood.

But as time passed, the murderer killed more and more people, and the scene became more and more shocking, but the police failed to grasp the slightest clue. Although they were unwilling to admit it, their anger turned into panic, and panic turned into fear and fear.Fortunately, Eleven did not continue to commit crimes, and other members of the puppeteer began to make their debut.Despite the large number of crimes committed, there has never been a murderer as brutal as Eleven.Over time, the fear disappeared, but the puppet master was still hard to find, leaving only fear.

Since then, many criminals are proud to be able to join the puppet master, and the police will have an instinctive sense of powerlessness when facing the case of the puppet master.For the first time in ten years, there was an opportunity to get so close to the puppet master, and no one wanted to let it go.

Gao Jijun was even more surprised from ear to ear. He thought he could eradicate a malignant tumor, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to pull out a carrot and bring it out of the pit to eradicate a group of malignant tumors.He casually praised the mighty Xia Duihao, and he just called him "Brother".
