Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mysterious Hacker
The post was made by an anonymous user, with several clear photos of the parking lot attached, which should have been taken from a video in the parking lot. Although the face is not very clear when viewed directly, it's already quite clear.
Ye Feng took one glance and knew that the photo was real. It was indeed his equipment, and his heart skipped a beat. "How could the police release something like this?"
The following comments are also bizarre.
"Just passing by, not my fault..."
"It's better to wrongly kill a hundred than to let one go, take him out and shoot him! Let you rob me of my sofa!!!"
"This is obviously cut from a movie, too fake!"
"Master, I want to make him my teacher!!!!!"
"(Just learned to use bold font, please bear with me, brothers and sisters!) You bunch of geniuses, do you have any common sense!!!!!!!!! Do you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A person can't defy gravity, how can they jump that high!!!!!! That high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
While everyone was still continuing to read the follow-up comments, a dialog box suddenly popped up on the computer, "The topic you are viewing has been deleted and automatically returned to the homepage!"
"Deleted?" Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
"This post has been up for less than twenty minutes," Lao Liu looked at the time on his computer, "Just now when you weren't here, I clicked into a newly posted thread."
"But the title was written as 《xx University Hidden Killer, Six People Encountered Gunshot》, there was not a single sentence in the post, only a few photos......" Lao Ba expressed his doubts, "Moreover, didn't the school say before that there were only five bodies? Why six people encountered gunshot? It seems that the person who posted this is purely spreading rumors and stirring up trouble, without even understanding what happened."
But Ye Feng was secretly wondering, "Who exactly is it? The students in the school only knew that there were five corpses, why did the person who posted the message know that there were six corpses? Moreover, such confidential information should be strictly guarded by the police, how could it have been leaked out?"
"Uncle Yang, that post just now..." Zhuge Ling'er looked at the head of the criminal police team, Yang Chuan, with a puzzled expression in her eyes.
Yang Chuan looked around the room, his eyes seriously scanning each person present, but he had no leads. "Old Cai, you were in charge of keeping the video recording. Has anyone else seen it besides the people here?"
"Captain, no outsider has seen it, I've been doing this for so many years, of course I know that this kind of thing is a confidential document, how could I let an outsider see it?" A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses shook his head.
"Who can tell me how this thing leaked out?" Yang Chuan slapped the table suddenly, and the people present fell silent.
After a while, he finally made a weak voice, "Captain, these...these few pictures...are what I intercepted..."
"Hey!" Yang Chuan turned his head to look at the source of the sound, which was Li Yong, who was in charge of analyzing videos.
"Captain, please listen to me first. I just cropped the pictures and put them on my computer, wanting to analyze them when I got back. All the cropped pictures were of the killer's side or front face. But as soon as I put them in the computer, it was hacked, and I quickly unplugged the network cable. Fortunately, all the data was not lost. However, just a while later, I heard from Xiao Chen that the post appeared on the school's BBS..." Li Yong didn't dare to look at Yang Chuan, after all, leaking such information in this situation is a huge responsibility.
Yang Chuan furrowed his brow and waved his hand, "Forget it, don't blame you! The other party obviously had ulterior motives. Be more careful in the future!"
"Thanks, Captain Yang!" Li Yong heard Yang Chuan say this, and a stone in his heart was finally put down.
"This case doesn't seem as simple as I thought. That hacker might be the murderer himself, deliberately showing off to us. Or maybe he's the murderer's archenemy, trying to expose him. Either way, both the murderer and that hacker are not good people." Yang Chuan's expression was serious.
"Yang, the basic record is almost done. At first, we contacted Niu Xing, the boss of Man Niu, and told him that Man Niu was dead. He was very surprised and insisted that it was Dragon Tian's people who did it. When asked why he brought Man Niu over, he said it was to capture Ye Feng, a friend of Dragon Tian, as a hostage."
"Ye Feng's side has also been asked, and after investigation, it is shown that he is an orphan with no background, adopted by the orphanage from birth, from elementary school to university, there are no bad records, and he is a good student with excellent moral character. Half a year ago, he accidentally got to know Long Tian, and they became good friends, but he has never participated in any of Long Tian's actions. From the written record, it can be seen that he didn't even know what happened that night. His roommate was also asked, and on that evening, everyone was in the dormitory, not even leaving the dorm building, nothing unusual happened." A detective in his thirties handed over the written record from beside him.
"In other words, he didn't have an alibi, but what if all his roommates were lying?" Yang Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
His roommate was telling the truth, because after 9 pm, leaving the dormitory building required registration with the dorm administrator. Moreover, during the time of the incident, the dorm administrator had been in the office on the first floor at the entrance, except for a trip to the toilet that took less than one minute. The office had a large window facing the entrance, and he could see all the people coming and going. However, according to him, Ye Feng and his roommates did not enter or exit.
"Your meaning is that after that, none of them were seen coming back from outside the dormitory building?" Yang Chuan slightly furrowed his brow.
"Yes, it wasn't until 11 o'clock at night that the dormitory administrator locked the first floor door. After that, if anyone wanted to enter the dormitory building, they had to call out for the administrator to open the door." The detective nodded, apparently having already asked all the questions he could think of in detail.
"Isn't there another way into the dormitory building? Is it that there aren't any windows on the first floor to enter from?" Yang Chuan turned his head towards the teaching building's window.
"They had thought of this at school, all the windows on the first floor were blocked with aluminum alloy railings, one was to prevent theft, and the other was to prevent students from returning late without registering. The criminal police officer shook his head and smiled, "Unless someone can jump up to the window on the second floor, the window on the second floor is about 3.5 meters high, even if it's a world high jump champion, it's impossible to jump up."
Yang Chuan listened to this analysis and remained silent with a thoughtful expression...
After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Hasn't Dragon Heaven been investigated yet?"
The detective shook his head, "Didn't ask."
"Xiao Chen, come with me and just take notes. Don't worry about anything else." Yang Chuan glanced around at the crowd of people before his gaze finally landed on a young man.
"I'm going too!" Before Little Chen could respond, another voice rang out from beside him.
"Ling'er, I'm in the middle of a case," Yang Chuan's face was slightly solemn.
"Yang Shu, you know why I came to H City, Moon Sister... " Zhuge Ling'er's tears were about to fall.
"Alright, alright, you all come together, but don't speak once we're over there!"
Zhuge Ling'er's pitiful expression suddenly turned into one of extreme joy, her change in expression as quick as turning the pages of a book, leaving everyone present speechless...
Yang Chuan immediately realized he had been deceived, "You little scoundrel......"
Here is the translation:
