No such person [criminal investigation]

Qi Zang got up after sleeping for an hour.After buying breakfast for Xu Ci and leaving a note, he rushed to the city bureau without stopping.

As for Shang Boran, he has been under pressure and has not let him go. Last night he took a break and borrowed the help of a veteran in interrogation from the second detachment next door.But Shang Boran froze with the police and didn't say anything.

Liu Xiaochuan, a veteran interrogator, saw Qi Zang coming, and asked, "Captain Qi, boy surnamed Shang, what do you say? It will be 24 hours soon."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, go to rest first. I'll find someone to watch over him."

After saying this to Liu Xiaochuan, Qi Zang called Shankang. "I'll check on Shang Boran again in a while. If he still doesn't say anything, we have to release him after 24 hours. Then you take someone to watch him secretly."

Shan Kang immediately said: "Okay Team Qi, received! That, I..."

After hesitating for a moment, with a little shame on his face, he made a gesture of assurance. "I'm sure I won't lose track this time!"

"It's okay. Don't be under psychological pressure. Last time, it was justifiable." Qi Zang smiled.

——Last time your opponent was Xu Ci after all.It's normal to lose track.

Faced with the leader's smile, Shan Kang was so surprised that he shivered.

——Fuck, according to the boss's unshakable personality, it's not bad if I didn't criticize me... He, why is he laughing?This smile is creepy, why not criticize me.

After solving the problem on Shang Boran's side, he returned to the office, and when it was time to work, Qi Zang immediately made an appointment with the company behind the live broadcast platform.

This incident has a very bad impact on their company, and there are critical voices from top to bottom. Relevant government review departments will soon enter their company to carry out content rectification with them.

Leaping into the company was considered a serious injury, but he was very willing to cooperate with the police in the investigation.It is also good for them if the truth comes out as soon as possible. Maybe they can think of some public relations strategies to save it.

The CEO and technical director of Yueshang Company soon came to the Municipal Bureau.

In the conference room, Qi Zang mainly asked about the filter.

Qi Zang asked: "The filter used by Qin Chunlan looks very natural except for the smoothing and beautifying effect. I tried to register the anchor account myself, but I couldn't find this filter. What's the matter? What's going on?"

The CEO explained: "This is a project that we are still in internal testing. The name AI filter is temporarily used internally. What we publicize is that the AI ​​​​program has a precise public aesthetic vision and can be based on powerful algorithms. Get precise retouching and automatically generate a perfect face.

"In front of the camera, you don't have to worry about the distortion of the filter like in the past, and it will modify everyone into an awl-faced snake face...it will perfectly fit your own facial characteristics."

"The word you just used was 'propaganda'—" Qi Zang asked, "What about it actually?"

The technical director took over and said: "In fact, our algorithm is not that advanced... We have tried it. If we completely let AI beautify different faces based on calculations, sometimes the effect is quite good, and sometimes it is hard to describe... Sometimes Backtesting that the face it generated had four eyes. Cough—

"So, in fact, during the internal testing phase, we have dedicated art personnel to artificially draw a picture according to the face of the anchor who needs it...

"Let me take Qin Chunlan as an example. The artist artificially drew a 2D portrait suitable for her face shape and facial features based on her facial features. The technical department customized a 2D face based on this 3D portrait. , which is what we call '3D filter'.

"Actually, the only part of this program that can be automated is that it can capture Qin Chunlan's expression and feed back in real time the face that was custom-painted for Qin Chunlan."

Hearing this, Qi Zang understood that this thing was indeed similar to his first reaction last night—it was an AI face-changing program that could be processed in real time.

The CEO added: "You can't see these filters because only internal test users have permission. After all, this is a customized service. Qin Chunlan is one of the first batch of participants to participate in the internal test. She uses this filter every month. There is a fee. Of course, she is our signed artist, and we give her a discount."

Qi Zang was a little funny when he heard this. "That is to say, you cheat at both ends and make money at both ends?

"On the inside, you lied to Qin Chunlan. She could make a fortune by singing, but you insisted on creating anxiety about her appearance and making her pay for this filter; on the outside, you let her lie to the public. In fact, she looks very good Beautiful, by the way, guide the public to appreciate it."

The CEO was a little embarrassed, adjusted his glasses, and reluctantly said: "That officer Qi, a commercial company...everyone has to eat. Even if I am the CEO, I am still a wage earner, and there is a performance appraisal."

Qi Zang frowned and shook his head, then asked again: "Then, if anyone uses this filter, will the result be the same?"

Technical Director: "In theory, it is. But if the face shape is too different, there may be some problems... After all, it still needs to capture facial features and expressions, and if it is too surprised, it will affect its calculation and capture. So what to say, I can give you a permission, and you policemen can try one by one."

"Okay." Qi Zang nodded, "So, is there any immaturity in this technology? Or is there no disadvantage?"

Technical Director: "Of course there are still some shortcomings. It's still in internal testing! At present, this program can't make particularly rich expressions. So we have told Qin Chunlan not to make her expressions too exaggerated.

"You see, she doesn't often turn on the camera. You also know that when singing, especially when singing high-pitched or full-bodied voices, the facial movements are very large, so the expression of the face shown by the filter may be distorted, Stiff, unnatural."

"But if you speak normally and don't make any facial expressions, you basically have no flaws at all."

"Correct."

"Let me confirm again, can it be restored in reverse? It is to reverse the face from the filter."

"This, this really can't be done. I also said that this is a 3D face made by the technology on the basis of artist hand-painting, and our algorithm can also capture an expression. Other promotional words... are indeed foolish, ah no, There are elements of exaggeration and exaggeration.

"Look, officer, this face is actually hand-painted... There is no reverse restoration at all."

After the two company executives left, Qi Zang gave the filter authority to Bai Shuwei, Gong Nianci and other girls, and asked them to try them one by one, and confirmed that the face was indeed exactly the same as Qin Chunlan's in front of the live broadcast camera .

Later he tried Li Zhengzheng again.Li Zhengzheng has a wide face and well-developed facial features. There are some problems when the filter comes out. There is a circle of faces around that beautiful face.When Li Zhengzheng makes exaggerated expressions, the face of the filter will be very broken.

Therefore, as long as the murderer's hairstyle and clothes are the same as the deceased's, and his face shape is not too different from hers, he can pretend to be Qin Chunlan in front of the camera.If she had done facial treatment with makeup, there would be no problem.

As long as she doesn't make exaggerated expressions, she won't be exposed.

At the end of the live broadcast, the murderer ended the live broadcast shortly and quickly, and no one noticed anything unusual.

As for height, it is not a problem.

Because when she finally appeared in the camera, Qin Chunlan only showed half of her body, and the murderer could make it look as tall as her by squatting and stepping up her feet

·

When doing the filter test, several people from Qi Zang's team met in the conference room and held a small meeting by the way to share their progress.

After confirming the murderer's modus operandi, Bai Shuwei said, "Now there is one last question - how did the murderer imitate Qin Chunlan's voice."

"Two possibilities. The first is that she is purely imitating. I will ask the technical department to help with the voiceprint analysis immediately. Bai Shuwei, please help me find some live broadcast materials with Qin Chunlan's clear voice. The ones that can speak are the best. Li Zhengzheng , You sort out everyone’s voices during the confession yesterday, pick the clearest clips, and hand them over to the technical department for matching.”

Qi Zang said, "As for the second possibility, it will be a little more troublesome. The murderer may have collected various voices of Qin Chunlan's usual live broadcast, and then edited them into such a sentence. During the live broadcast, she pretended to open her mouth. Recording. If so, the voiceprints of the two are exactly the same, and the technical department can match them. So——

"I will first let the technical department do the matching according to the second possibility. If the conclusions are the same, Li Zhengzheng's part of the work can not be done."

At this point in the explanation, Qi Zang looked around and asked, "Where's Wei Fan?"

"He went to pick up some girls from that makeup studio." Li Zhengzheng said.

All relevant staff who may be suspected of committing the crime were brought to the scene yesterday, except for the make-up studio called "Zhanyan" that cooperated with the Internet celebrity company.

I finally got in touch with one of them in the middle of the night last night, saying that they went to the ancient town [-] kilometers away to build a regiment on Saturday night, and they could only come back today.

In order to prevent anyone from escaping, Wei Fan and a few brothers went to the ancient town early in the morning to pick them up, and tried to bring them all back without missing a beat.

Yesterday, I interrogated a circle of employees of Internet celebrity companies, focusing on interrogating the person in charge of the company, the live broadcast planner, and the director.In the case of being interrogated separately, the confessions of several people can be matched——

This live broadcast is considered a collective idea, and it cannot be said that any one person planned it alone.

About two weeks ago, the company's staff, including most of its Internet celebrities, went to participate in a bureau.

The bureau was set up by Shang Boran. The participants included rich second generations, high-level executives from live broadcast platforms, game companies, and film and television companies. It is said that casting directors and well-known screenwriters also participated.

People from the Internet celebrity company brought their Internet celebrities to participate in this bureau in order to help them find job opportunities.

The company attaches great importance to this opportunity, and naturally wants to dress up all its Internet celebrities as angels.

Before departure, everyone was in the big dressing room, chatting while waiting for the makeup and hair stylist to do the styling. Most of the people present were women, and there were also many accidents involving women in the news recently. Everyone talked about this topic.

An operation staff member was just cheated by her boyfriend, and said something angry during the chat. If she started a live broadcast like the company's Internet celebrities, she would kill her boyfriend live.

When the person in charge of the company heard this, he thought it was very interesting and feasible, so the chat turned into a work discussion, discussing the feasibility of live broadcasting the murder.

The more they chatted, the more they felt that this matter could bring huge traffic, and the person in charge immediately made a decision to put this matter on the agenda.

On that day, all the makeup and hair stylists from Zhanyan Studio were present, and they all participated in the related rehearsal work later.

This coincides with the time when the murderer was able to find Huang Dashan two weeks ago.

At the moment, Qi Zang seized the time to sort out yesterday's inquiry materials, picked out a few key people, and reviewed the video recordings of their interviews.

When he saw the person in charge of the Internet celebrity company, he pressed the pause button, then went backwards, and read a certain detail several times.

The person in charge is a woman, 34 years old, named Wang Tiantian.

It was Li Zhengzheng who was in charge of interrogating her yesterday.

In the video that Qi Zang was watching, it was Li Zhengzheng who asked: "You mentioned just now that Shang Boran helped you lead the game, right? It seems that you are very familiar with Shang Boran."

"Y-not very familiar." Wang Tiantian glanced at the camera, glanced at Li Zhengzheng, lowered her head and grabbed two handfuls of hair, and then looked at Li Zhengzheng, "I just met at the dinner party. We drank wine and played dice together. Games like..."

There is definitely something wrong with Shang Boran, and it is very likely that he is an accomplice.

This is what Qi Zang suspected very early on.

Therefore, paying attention to the relationship between each suspect and Shang Boran was one of the tasks Qi Zang assigned to each person in charge of the interrogation.

At this moment, Li Zhengzheng followed Qi Zang to watch the recording, and couldn't help asking: "Boss watched this video...does he suspect this Wang Tiantian? She is the person in charge of Internet celebrities, and she is actually the main planner of the live broadcast event. She is the most She can grasp the overall situation and use this matter to kill people. By the way, she is 1 meters tall, which fits the range!"

"Actually, I am more skeptical of the people in the makeup studio. Normally, Internet celebrities are their clients. After putting on makeup for the client, they should enjoy the results with the client and watch the live broadcast, but they actually finished their work I'm going to the team building right away...it's too strange to go at night." Qi Zang said.

"Then this Wang Tiantian..."

"She's lying. But that doesn't mean she's the murderer. I just think her relationship with Shang Boran may not be that simple. "

"Boss, why do you doubt?"

"You can see her guilty expression."

Qi Zang looked sideways at Li Zhengzheng, "Furthermore, think about it, Wang Tiantian has a bunch of beautiful girls under her control. She dresses up these girls beautifully and takes them to participate in the 'game'... What do you think this is?" The nature of the game? Especially when we know that Wang Tiantian's Internet celebrity Baixue was swept up by our anti-pornography not long ago."

"I'll go..." Li Zhengzheng scratched his head, "The water they travel is really deep."

Qi Zang said: "I'll tell Li Hongyu about this right away. For the time being, let them deal with pornography. Let's see if Wang Tiantian and Shang Boran are pimps and participate in the gangster. Murder case... ...I will take a closer look at the situation of this makeup studio."

Qi Zang carefully checked the situation of the studio organized by his colleagues.

There are five people in Zhanyan Studio.

The person in charge is Huang Yuxin, who is also the most powerful makeup and hair stylist among these people. Two days ago, she said that she had asked for leave to go back to her hometown.

The other four are her employees, and they can be regarded as her apprentices.

The very interesting point is that the heights of these five people are all between 1 and 67 meters, and their faces are more or less similar, either with similar eyes, facial features, or facial features separately. They don't look like each other, but when put together and combined with the temperament, they look very similar as a whole.

What is the murderer thinking?

Put all these people into the category of suspects and delay the police's time?

From this point of view, only Huang Yuxin, the person in charge, can consciously do this.She is still the only one who can call employees all the way to team building on Saturday night.

But what's going on?She didn't recruit these people two weeks ago, did she?Could it be that she had already preset herself as a criminal, and was consciously looking for someone who could take her place?

Thinking of this, Qi Zang called Wei Fan and asked him to focus on Huang Yuxin.

"Then boss, let's..." Li Zhengzheng asked.

"Before Wei Fan brings them back, let's go to the home of the deceased, Cui Junjie. The purpose of killing Qin Chunlan is to use her to silence her. The murderer's main purpose is to kill Cui Junjie. But there must be a motive behind it, right?

"Everyone has researched the gossip on the Internet, but found no key information. Let's start with Cui Junjie's home. If you can't find any clues at home, just ask the neighbors in the street and try."

Qi Zang thought of something, and asked, "By the way...so far, no one from his family has come to look for him?"

Li Zhengzheng shook his head: "His parents passed away in a car accident at the beginning of the year, and they seem to have left him a large inheritance... other relatives, it is not clear what happened for the time being."

the other side.7:[-] in the morning.

Xu Ci woke up from the second bedroom of Qi Zang's house.He unexpectedly slept well last night.

The moment he opened his eyes, Xu Ci was dazzled by the glittering ceiling and wall tiles, so much so that he rubbed his eyes before sitting up, and then got out of bed after a while.

I went out and looked around, but I didn't hear Qi Zang's movement, so I guess he had already left.

When Xu Ci walked to the restaurant, he saw the note left by Qi Zang.

Qi Zang left him four sticky notes, wrote four sentences respectively, and arranged them in order from left to right——

The first sentence: [Remember to eat hot breakfast]

The second sentence: [Tell me in time if you find anything, don't act without authorization]

The third sentence: [Don't get me wrong, I don't talk like that with other people. There are no men and women. I don't have any ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends. Otherwise, will Deputy Bureau Rong force me to go on blind dates every day? ]

The fourth sentence: [1. Please be sure to comply with the first two requirements; 2. Please be sure to believe my last sentence]

After reading the last note, the corners of Xu Ci's mouth inevitably twitched slightly, and he glanced at the food on the table. Qi Zang bought all his favorite food in the past.

Putting away the note, Xu Ci went to wash and change clothes, and finally ate his breakfast.

It was 8:50 when we arrived at the company.

After greeting his assistant Meng Yu, Xu Ci entered the office and closed the door. Before leaving, he left a sentence: "I will push all the unimportant ones. If someone comes to me and it's nothing important, just say I'm not here. I'm not very happy today." Comfortable."

Meng Yu asked with concern: "Mr. Xie, do you want to go to the hospital?"

"It's okay. I just didn't sleep well. It's an old problem."

After entering the office, Xu Ci muted most of his mobile phones, except for the one he used to contact Ping An.

Before putting on the blindfold and catching up on sleep, Xu Ci called Ping An.

"Have you caught up with Shang Boran?"

"Don't worry, keep following. By the way, the police seem to have sent someone to follow."

"Understood, contact me anytime if you have any news."

"rest assured."

·

Shankang over there.From the moment Shang Boran left the Municipal Bureau, he followed him.

First, I followed him to a high-end restaurant and saw him go in and have breakfast.

This time he was careful and asked the rest of his colleagues to look around to see if there was a back door in the restaurant. They found a door used by the back kitchen and the staff at the back, and sent someone to guard there.

It is estimated that he stayed in the interrogation room for a full 24 hours. He was a little exhausted. He ate the meal for a long time. After eating, he found a massage parlor for a massage until dawn.

Only his driver took him on the road.

Shan Kang keenly sensed that something was wrong, and Shang Boran walked in the direction of leaving the city.

In this way, Shankang has adopted a more cautious tracking mode.

But just when he thought Shang Boran was going to turn onto the highway entrance, his car suddenly turned around and went to the nearby Fengshui District Farmer's Market.

This is not an ordinary vegetable market. It is the largest agricultural trade logistics base in the entire Jinning City, and it can also be called a concentrated agricultural trade wholesale market.

It occupies a very large area, with many buildings and stalls, and there are many large-volume logistics and transportation vehicles, tricycles, electric vehicles, bicycles, and the flow of people is huge.

Shan Kang sensed that something was wrong—no, this Shang Boran was probably not trying to make trouble.

Sure enough, the next moment his car suddenly turned to the right, entered the booth area, knocked over several booths one after another, and finally hit a small truck full of tomatoes at a very tricky angle, before stopping .

The small truck rolled over and all the tomatoes that were planned to be sold in the morning rolled to the ground.The driver immediately stopped and walked to Shang Boran's car and yelled at him.

Those who cursed with him were those vegetable vendors who were caught off guard and their stalls were overturned.

"How the hell did you drive?"

"It's amazing to be rich!"

"We must give us an explanation!"

"Brothers, go! Catch him together!"

……

In the midst of words, a group of people surrounded Shang Boran's car tightly, and Shankang's sight was completely blocked, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

"Stop the car, get down, grab Shang Boran!" Shan Kang shouted.

A few people got out of the car, took out their police cards to maintain order, and quelled disputes...

But when they squeezed into the crowd, and only the driver was left throwing money and laughing, Shang Boran had long since disappeared.

10 minute later.

Xu Ci received the news of peace——

[Shang Boran has something, throws off the young policeman, but I keep up and put a positioning device on his car]

Ping An followed behind Shankang, which was relatively more concealed and less likely to be noticed by Shang Boran.

After seeing the cars of Shang Boran and Shankang entering the farmer's market one after another, Ping An sensed that something was wrong and quickly started to observe nearby.Sure enough, he saw a Range Rover that was quite inconsistent with the temperament of the surrounding vehicles.He did research in advance, and Shang Boran happened to own a Range Rover.

Stopped, got out of the car, and stopped a passing vegetable vendor to ask for directions. When he passed the car "inadvertently", he posted a positioning device under the car.

Not long after that, he really saw Shang Boran who had changed into an undershirt similar to that of the surrounding vegetable vendors running over and got into the car.

Xu Ci replied: [Tell me the route and location, I will go right away]

·

Lishui Ancient Town.

The town ushered in the morning glow, under which the Huaiyang River meanders like an orange-red ribbon, shuttling between the blue tiles and white walls, and the bluestone slabs that are carved with hundreds of historical traces.

In the corridor on the second floor of Yimeng Huangliang B&B stood a beautiful woman with a tall figure and skin as white as jade.

Wearing a cheongsam, her waist was so thin that she couldn't hold it.The coiled hair, the entangled wooden hairpin, from top to bottom, even the strands of hair hanging from the ear temples, all match the temperament of this ancient town.

She is like a beautiful woman walking in a painting, with the smoke and water from the south of the Yangtze River wrapped around her body, she looks like a fairy.

This person is Huang Yuxin.

A girl walked out of the room, she was also a beauty, she was somewhat similar to Huang Yuxin upon closer inspection.

Li Xiaoxia looked at Huang Yuxin in front of her with joy. "I, I have always regarded you as an idol. I really like the beauty videos you shoot... Are you really willing to accept me as an employee of the studio?"

"It's okay. We look alike. This is our fate." Huang Yuxin smiled and handed her her ID card, "Just play a game with me in a while. Someone comes to me. You pretend to be me and talk to me." They go back."

"What, what does this mean? I just have eyes that look a bit like yours, and they are still made up... This is an imitation makeup that I learned from you. I will definitely show my eyes."

"Yes. They will definitely know. But you just need to lie to them for a while. They will take you back to Jinning City. You can stay in Jinning City. I will give you all my Weibo and Xiaohongshu accounts. In the future All my IDs will be handed over to you to inherit."

"Then, where are you going?"

Huang Yuxin stretched out a pair of hands as white as lotus roots, and supported them on the wooden railing.

When she looked up at the sky, her eyes were filled with rays of light.

A bird fluttered its wings and flew into the sky, sinking into the orange-red clouds.

Staring at the direction where Asuka was heading away, Huang Yuxin said softly: "Go to a place that is truly free."
