Swallowing the Seas

The next day, early morning.

"Pancakes, fruit, gaba, double noodles, tea, egg bags, hey——"

The sound of cars, pedestrians, and the hawking of breakfast stalls is faintly transmitted through the windows, and the sun shines through the treetops and sprinkles colorfully on the dilapidated old wooden floor.

"..." Bu Chonghua opened his eyes, stretched a long way, and felt that there was nothing beside him.

"Wu Yu?" He half-closed his eyes and said hoarsely, "Wu Yu?"

—no reply.

Bu Chonghua opened his eyes and sat up, looking around.

The bedroom is already empty, the blankets on the bed are neatly folded, and the clock on the wall shows that it is already 08:30 in the morning——obviously, the result of forgetting to set the alarm on the mobile phone is that it is unprecedentedly late today.Bu Chonghua shook his head to wake himself up, got up and went to the outside room. The old walls and second-hand appliances in the 90s of the last century were bathed in the morning light. There was a bag of breakfast and a cup of soy milk on the table.

Bu Chonghua walked over, and saw a note under the soy milk cup, written in Wu Yu's handwriting.

"I'm going to work, and the pancake fruit is for you."

"No parsley, two sausages."

Bu Chonghua couldn't help laughing, and murmured: "...you are quite thin-skinned."

At ten o'clock in the morning, Nancheng Branch.

"Infantry detachment!"

"Morning detachment!"

Bu Chonghua, wearing a shirt, trousers and leather shoes, nodded expressionlessly, striding across the corridor with soy milk in his hand, and was swept into the field office like the wind: "Where is Wu Yu?"

"Oh Bu Detachment!" Zhang Xiaoli, who was near the door, took a mouthful of chocolate and hurriedly got up: "Director Wang called Xiao Angkor to the evidence room for help. Do you have anything to do with him?"

"Call Wu Yu to come in and look for me later." Bu Chonghua said without any surprise on his face, without stopping, he went straight into the office of the detachment leader and closed the door with a bang.

"..." Forensic doctor Xiao Gui, who was going upstairs to buy milk tea with the criminal investigation team, watched Bu Chonghua pass by, blinked and said to Cai Lin, "That's not right, Cai'er."

Cai Lin was struggling with berry cheese or frozen top oolong, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "What's wrong?"

"The facial features of your Bu Detachment today have obvious life reactions."

Cai Linbiu raised his head: "Isn't the term living response used for dead people?"

Forensic doctor Xiaogui said: "Hey, understand the spirit. Look at the telangiectasia in the facial zygomatic region today, the red blood cells gather, the radiating muscles of the pupil contract, the levator angle of the mouth muscle slightly rises, the vocal cords close and the low-frequency vibration intensifies, and there may be a little microcirculation opening. and increased blood flow. From our professional point of view, this situation is somewhat similar to..."

"...similar to?"

The two looked at each other, Xiaogui forensic doctor solemnly spit out two words: "Huaichun."

"Pfft!" Cai Lin almost didn't laugh out loud, and immediately scowled under Xiaogui's forensic doctor's dissatisfied stare, and said seriously: "Let me tell you the truth, even Xu Ju can be pregnant in this world, and Sister Meng It is impossible for our boss to be able to rejuvenate the second puberty."

"Then what do you say he is?"

Cai Lin approached mysteriously, covered half of his mouth, and whispered, "I'm pregnant. Xiao Wu's."

Forensic doctor Xiaogui patted Cai Lin back to his seat with a Tathagata palm, took back his mobile phone, and chose a cup of frozen top oolong tea without milk and sugar for Cai Lin.

·

"Hey, daughter-in-law, did you eat breakfast? What did you eat? Did you get used to sleeping last night? What, didn't you dream of me last night? It must be because the hotel bed is not good. The bed was airlifted to Beijing, and a few people were moved to the hotel to replace it..."

As soon as Bu Chonghua pushed open the door of his office, he saw Yan Yan sitting behind his desk with his legs crossed, talking on the phone and clearing his throat heavily.

"Okay, okay, my 2B cousin is here." Yan Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bu Chonghua, and said to the phone: "Let's talk later, huh? I love you."

Yan Yan hung up the phone, and Bu Chonghua asked, "Is your lover in Beijing?"

"Yeah, isn't this the unlucky study class of the third governor, the second governor, and the second governor in Beijing?"

Bu Chonghua looked at his cousin complicatedly: "Don't tell me that she is also going to take the exam to get a promotion..."

"What are you thinking, still getting promoted?" Yan Yu said happily, "Aren't you kidding me?"

Before Bu Chonghua could feel a little bit of relief, he saw his cousin raised his chest and raised his head: "He is going to be an invigilator!"

……

This cousin is hopeless, what will my aunt and uncle do in the future?

"Why are you staying in my office so early in the morning?" Bu Chonghua asked with a sigh.

"Pursuing the case, and caring about my brother's health by the way." Yan Xie was as frank and natural as if sitting in the office of the head of the criminal investigation detachment of the Jianning City Bureau, and said leisurely: "After all, you didn't go home last night, I thought it was the case With a breakthrough, I came to the city bureau early this morning to meet Xiao Wu, and only then did I know that you had 'stayed' at his house last night, and had a meal at his house to make braised noodles..."

Bu Chonghua said lightly: "What's wrong with staying overnight?"

"It's nothing, but you came an hour later than Wu Yu."

"..."

"Brother," Yan Yan said sincerely, "I always thought that I would prepare a bride price for you. I'm sorry I was wrong. It turns out that what you need is a dowry."

The two brothers stood and sat across the desk, looked at each other for a long time, Bu Chonghua said slowly: "What I need is a cousin with a normal mind."

Knock knock knock!

At this time, there were two knocks on the office door, and then it was opened.Half of her head poked in through the crack of the door, and it turned out to be the Queen Mother who brutally broke up the couple early in the morning...Wang Jiuling, who took Wu Yu to the evidence room to help, asked in a low voice, "Bu'er, are you free now?" ? Yo, your brother is here too?"

Wang Ertu even dared to visit the door on his own initiative.Bu Chonghua stared at him, with a hint of ambiguity in his tone: "Where is Wu Yu?"

"Human? He was kidnapped by the technical team, and he is about to wash it up and send it to the forensic office as a child bride." Wang Jiuling pushed the door open and entered: "Stop talking nonsense, come—this is you crying and shouting!" The network detective who applied to the above, just got off the plane this morning, and I specially brought it here to introduce you."

I usually have to report layer by layer when applying for Internet investigation, but I didn't expect it to come so soon this time.Bu Chonghua was a little surprised, and then saw Wang Jiuling flashing away with a smile, and a tall and familiar figure appeared outside the door, with a light blue shirt, silver-gray trousers, and a heavy briefcase in his hand.

Bu Chonghua looked at the visitor, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched in an instant.

"The foreign aid dispatched by the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Bureau is a well-known Internet expert." Wang Jiuling patted the man on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Lin Hao."

10 minutes later, the technical team office.

"Hey—you two actually know each other?!" Wang Jiuling squinted at Bu Chonghua, with his hands on his hips, as if he had suddenly discovered that a good friend had cheated on him behind his back: "How did you know Expert Lin when you were in Jinhai all day long? I do not know how?"

"Don't dare to be, dare not be." Lin Hao waved his hands and smiled: "I can't be called an expert, just an errand to catch ducks on the shelves temporarily. I have handed over a cross-border arrest case to the infantry team before, so I have a little bit of experience." Yuan, I didn't expect to meet again this time."

Bu Chonghua didn't say anything.

Wang Jiuling looked at him jealously: "You are really full of peach blossoms, don't you?"

Liao Gang, Meng Jiao, and several other detachment police officers who handled the [-] case were all in the office, and Wu Yu, who had returned from helping in the evidence room, was also there, but he stayed in the corner and did not make a sound.Bu Chonghua looked at him calmly, and if Wu Yu felt something, he quickly raised his eyelids, and the two of them looked at each other in a blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Yu lowered his gaze again, looking at the ground.

At that moment, Bu Chonghua understood what he was thinking——

Neither he nor Lin Hao wanted others to know that they knew each other.

"The few cases we have handled before have some connection with the dark web, so after the 2 case was reported to the Ministry of Public Security, Feng Ting wanted to send me to take a look, hoping to provide some clues for my colleagues." Lin Fang He opened the briefcase that he never left, took out the computer, and turned it on. He declined Wang Jiuling's intention to help him connect to the wireless network of the Public Security Bureau: "No, I will set up a hotspot by myself—this computer has been configured with onion routing and I[-]P."

Lin Hao's computer is classified, and there is a program window on the screen, which is filled with dense and weird URLs, most of which end with clos/lo13 characters.Director Wang pulled up a chair and sat beside him, and asked curiously, "What are these?"

"A tracking program for criminal websites." Lin Hao explained, "There is no search engine on the dark web. If you don't know the URL, you don't know where to search the website even if you connect to onion routing. So someone developed a dark version later. Wikipedia, which contains links to various illegal websites, including dark web versions of eBay, Gumtree, Amazon, Reddit, and even dark web versions of Twitter, WhatsApp, personal blogs and gossip exchange centers... These illegal websites are often used It is common for intelligence agencies of various countries to change URL suffixes every three days in order to avoid Internet police. Therefore, I must establish a tracking program, otherwise it is like tracking a few specific fish in the vast sea, and it is easy to lose track of them. .”

Director Wang nodded solemnly, with an unclear expression on his face.

Bu Chonghua suddenly asked, "The dark web version eBay you are talking about is the Mariana Trench?"

"Worthy of being a step-detachment team, really well-informed." Lin Hao said happily, happy not to waste time introducing the concept of dark web e-commerce to Muggles: "The Mariana Trench is currently one of the largest dark web e-commerce companies. One, look, this is it."

He conveniently clicked on a website from the tracking program, and the next moment, the screen suddenly went dark, and two rows of red letters slowly appeared in the darkness, which was the slogan of the website——

Choose Freedom over Tyranny

Shark1325

Choose freedom, not tyranny - Website founder and administrator, Shark.

At that moment, there was no sound in the office, and everyone was deeply shocked by this terrible middle school spirit.

"Copied, please ignore it." Lin Hao explained with a smile, "He just bullied Ross Ulbricht and was imprisoned in an American prison, so he couldn't come out and sue him for copyright infringement."

The website opened and disappeared after three seconds, and a homepage with a variety of products appeared.

Although it is called a dark version of eBay, the homepage of the Mariana Trench is actually similar to Taobao. It is full of pictures of products uploaded by various merchants, ranging from marijuana, ecstasy, hallucinogens, adult videos, pornographic items, arms and guns to suspicious corpses. There are all kinds of residual limbs, all arranged in a disorderly manner, and it is dizzying to look at.

"—Wait, wait." Wang Jiuling suddenly remembered something: "Li Hongxi and Diao Jianfa often go to the dark web. Is it possible that they once posted an advertisement for the sale of human heads and skeletons on the Mariana Trench?"

The criminal policemen in the room cheered up: "Oh, that's right!" "Good idea!" "Try searching for a keyword?"

"I'm coming!" Liao Gang was eager to try, but was stopped by Bu Chonghua: "I'm afraid not."

"What?"

Bu Chonghua frowned and said, "Didn't you find out? This e-commerce company doesn't let you search on the site at all."

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes were all focused on the monitor, as expected.

The homepage of the colorful website is full of advertisements, but there is no search box at all at the top or bottom.

"Yes, I just wanted to tell you." Lin Hao regretted, "Since a year ago, the search box of the Marinaya Trench has been hidden."

——E-commerce.com actually hides the search box?So how do buyers search for the products they want, and how do they shop around to place an order?

Don’t darknet users care about the positive rating and cost-effectiveness, and just buy whichever one they catch based on luck?

"Ah, I know, I know!" Yan Yan, who seemed to understand but half understood, suddenly slapped his hands and realized: "It's the same as Xianyu removing the search box on the web version. It's a routine of the product manager to encourage users to download the app!"

The air was suddenly quiet, and the corners of Lin Hao's mouth twitched slightly for a while: "... Xianyu?"

Bu Chonghua: "Are you still going to use Xianyu?"

Everyone turned their attention to Yan Yan, and in an instant everyone was thinking: you, a rich second generation who drives an eight-figure sports car, why the hell are you going shopping in Xianyu? ?

"Go shopping," Yan Yan said honestly, "My idle clothes, shoes, belts, and small household appliances will be sold by people, otherwise what? Are you all throwing them away? Isn't it too wasteful?"

Everyone: "..."

"We don't have so many idle things," Liao Gang said sincerely, "Also, brother, you can give me what you don't want next time, and I promise not to waste it."

"There is no APP in the Mariana Trench," Lin Hao said with a smile, "The reason why the search box is hidden is because we used a DDoS attack a year ago—that is, millions of virtual customers bombed its homepage, especially the search engine on the site. , causing the website to fall into a digital traffic jam. The police wanted to use this method to cut off the connection between the administrator and the Mariana Trench, and further capture the shark himself... We have the most sophisticated plan and the most heroic undercover agent, then The operation almost succeeded."

a year ago.

Bu Chonghua's heart moved, and he glanced at Wu Yu, only to see him standing in the shadow of the corner, his body slightly stiff.

Liao Gang asked: "It didn't work out in the end?"

"The shark broke out with the police, broke through the encirclement, and led people away." Lin Hao obviously didn't want to talk about it, "but he was severely injured, and the Mariana Trench was forced to go offline for a whole year, and it wasn't until recently that it came back online—— — Since then, all dark web e-commerce companies have added verification codes and hidden search boxes, mainly to avoid distributed denial of service attacks and repeat what happened in the Mariana Trench.”

People who are not very familiar with him, even if he gets close to him, he will never find that Wu Yu's shoulders and neck are slightly stiff, and his teeth are clenched so tightly that several invisible bony ribs protrude from his temples.

Bu Chonghua's heart seemed to be tightly clenched by an invisible hand, and he almost couldn't control it in an instant, he went forward to hold his hand comfortingly——

A year ago, the shark collided with the police. Although it suffered heavy injuries, it still succeeded in breaking through, which made the arrest fall short.

Wu Yu returned from an undercover agent, Zhang Boming committed suicide by jumping off a building, and the celebration ceremony that everyone was looking forward to turned into a pool of smoke and blood in an instant.

What happened to that operation a year ago?

"You're talking about other dark web e-commerce companies," Yan Yan asked thoughtfully at this moment, "Are there any other relatively large-scale e-commerce platforms besides the Mariana Trench?"

"Yes. AlphaBay, Dream Market, Lufthansa, Darknet Wall Street, Silk Road version [-]... and the latest Berlusconi, RAMP, all of which are developing very rapidly."

Yan Yan was greatly taught: "It's all overseas giants competing for the international market, so there are no domestic ones?"

He just asked casually, but Lin Hao paused and said slowly: "It really does. It ranks in the top ten in the world, and the trading volume in Asia is the first. It's called the Ancient Tea Horse Road."

Yan Yan was stunned: "Damn it, the light of domestic products!"

"Puff—cough cough cough! Cough cough..." Lin Hao almost took a sip of tea, and quickly took out a tissue and rubbed his nose vigorously. He couldn't laugh or cry and said: "The speed of the domestic product is really slow. It is said that the computer room is built in the Netherlands, and It was one of the earliest e-commerce companies to hide the search box. The reason why it was able to expand at the earliest was to support Chinese, but after the Mariana Trench went online again, the run on the domestic products was not as good as before. From the traffic statistics, it is estimated that it has already supported It's been a few months."

"Hey, domestic products can't do as well as European and American products," Director Wang felt a little regretful.

"It can be said," Lin Hao said with a smile, "but the possibility of the suspect using domestic products... using the ancient tea-horse road to release sales information is still very high. After all, magic artifacts of human bones are trusted more in Asia than in Europe and the United States. "

"Then it's useless to search?" Director Wang thought for a while: "Can you write a script for external search?"

"Yes, yes, as long as the API is available, but the network speed will be very slow." Lin Hao thought for a moment, and said, "Well, I will try to write a script, using magic tools, religion, and sacrificial ceremonies as keywords in several scripts. Search on a large e-commerce platform. But the time is not guaranteed, if you are unlucky, the search process may take several hours, is it okay?"

Director Wang was overjoyed: "Write and write, you can just write. Anyway, this case has been dragging on for so long. Don't rush this time, isn't it old-fashioned?"

Bu Chonghua was noncommittal, so he acquiesced.

The concepts of dark web, deep web, and onion routing have not been widely understood in China. Many people still don’t know that their mailboxes and chat software are actually considered deep web.In order to gain attention, the frenzied tabloids cut out the dungeon entrance in the game video and the dismemberment footage in the horror movie, falsely claiming that it is "exploring the secrets of the dark web", and created a dark web divided into [-] levels of hell. Urban legends such as being assassinated by hackers in reality have cast a grotesque veil on anonymous network technology.

In fact, the dark web is not so weird and terrifying, and it is not supernatural, but its layer-by-layer anonymous technology has indeed created countless thorny problems for the police in various countries.Because domestic development in this area is half a step behind, there are not many cases related to the dark web so far, and the detection is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

A group of people in the office can only go to eat first, hoping that with the effort of soaking instant noodles, Internet investigation experts can create miracles from the vast sea.

Wu Yu deliberately avoided Liao Gang who was calling everyone to eat on the baking tray, and without greeting anyone, walked along the corridor with his head down, walked into the tea room, found a package of Laotan sauerkraut noodles, and boiled it in an electric kettle Put on the bubbles.

A group of people went out to eat lively together, their footsteps gradually receded, and the silence returned.

They should have all gone downstairs.

When a person's mind is in a state of turmoil, it's hard to describe the myriad of thoughts, but it's hard to capture any formed thoughts, only various complex tastes spread from the throat to the root of the tongue.Wu Yu put one hand in his trouser pocket and pressed the other on the instant noodle bowl, feeling his palm was slightly warmed by the steam, felt a little self-deprecating for a while, shook his head and exhaled.

He mixed the instant noodles with a disposable fork, and took two bites indiscriminately. He just turned around with the noodle bowl, and suddenly froze in place——

A heavy figure blocked the door of the tea room, it was Bu Chonghua!

"You deliberately avoided me this morning?" Bu Chonghua asked softly.

"..." Wu Yu's throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't utter a word. After a long time, he said hoarsely: "No."

"--No?"

During the lunch break, the corridor outside was empty, and there was no one in sight.Bu Chonghua leaned forward, Wu Yu stepped back, but there was no extra space in the small tea room, and the next moment the two of them were facing each other.

The knuckles of Wu Yu's fingers holding the noodle bowl turned slightly white. Bu Chonghua grabbed his hand, looked into his eyes and asked in a low voice: "We are like this now, what are you thinking, can you tell me directly?"
