578. Chapter 578: Mysterious Disappearance
Allen said in a low voice, "This series of incidents began as early as February last year.dt.com first Boeing, then Mitsubishi Corporation, North Industries, and several major military manufacturers have been subjected to similar hacker invasions. The modus operandi varies, but the purpose is similar: to undermine the stability of weapons systems with a very inconspicuous virus implantation. ”
"I know there are a few hacker teams working for the Order, but can they really do that? As far as I know, your designs are very high-end, and they're not weapons experts. Just a bunch of guys who like to fiddle with computers. Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, they're not weapons experts, but they're almost all very good programmers. And most of what they invade is not the weapons themselves, but the computer systems that control them. Alan said slowly.
"Well, I don't understand the difference. Lin Rui waved his hand and said, "Just tell me what you found." ”
"We found that these attacks were all carried out by a hacking group. And just now we found a name, or rather, a code name, from one of the killers' phones. The man's code name was White Glove. Alan said.
"Is it him?" Lin Rui frowned, "I've seen this person, and he's also one of the top leaders of the Secret Society. ”
Alan nodded, "Yes, and as far as we know, he has a pivotal position in the Society. Not only is he engaged in illegal arms auctions with Conan, but he is also responsible for laundering money for the Secret Society. These two things are actually the origin of his name. ”
"White gloves?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, this white glove has two meanings. To put it simply, it is to act as a middleman for the bleaching of black money, or a legal cloak for actually engaging in illegal affairs. From the word glove, it is not difficult to understand that the hand that really does things is hidden in the glove. If your hands are dirty and you can't see people, then wear a white glove so that others won't be able to notice that your hands are dirty, and you may feel that your hands are well protected and should be clean.
The Secret Society is a large organization, and the funds they obtain every year through illegal passages even exceed the revenues of some small and medium-sized countries. It's a huge amount of black money, and the white glove is responsible for turning it into legitimate money that can be seen.
The second level refers to the auctioneer. The highest honor in the profession of auctioneer is also known as the White Glove. Being awarded the White Glove is the highest honor an auctioneer receives, and it means that an auction has reached 100% turnover, representing the highest recognition of the auctioneer. This also refers to the fact that this person is in charge of the black market arms auction. Alan said.
"In addition to that, he is a good fighter. Lin Rui sighed. "Do you have any more information about him?"
"No, that's all I said to you. Alan frowned, "We originally wanted to find out the whereabouts of White Glove through Guò's assassination of me this time. Unfortunately, we failed. ”
Lin Rui shrugged and said, "The good news is that they also failed. Otherwise you would not be able to stand in front of us. Let's go, we're going to get you out of here. ”
"Where are we going?" said Alan, puzzled.
"First, our contract has not expired, you are still our employer, and we are still responsible for your safety. Second, from what I know about White Glove, he is definitely not a person who is willing to give up lightly, you must understand that this person is a high-IQ member of the Secret Society. Good at managing money, but also good at calculating. So I'm sure his hunt for you will continue. Lin Rui said seriously, "So your current situation is still very dangerous." Now I'm going to send you to a safe house. And for a few days after that, we will protect you every step of the way. ”
"There's no need to be so exaggerated, you know I'm very good. Alan smiled.
"I don't care about that, I just follow the contract. Lin Rui stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”
"But what if I have something to do that I need to come back here? You know the meeting here isn't over. Alan frowned.
"Then, we'll accompany you again. Lin Rui sighed and said, "But it's better to have as few such things as possible, and we must minimize unnecessary risks." ”
"Okay, I'll go with you. Alan nodded.
Lin Rui nodded, and Jason and a few other team members protected Alan in the middle and went downstairs. The drive took Alan directly to a nearby safe house. Here's what Virtak found. Virtek was trained as a professional agent, so he knew a thing or two about finding places like this. Safe and secluded, there are not many complicated people around, and there is more than one way to escape.
It's a very ordinary house, but there is actually a passage behind the wall that extends to the basement. There was almost everything in it, and if someone provided supplies, it would be no problem for a few people to stay here for a month.
After arriving at the place, Lin Rui began to contact Virtek. The task can finally be put aside for a while, and what he is most worried about now is Park Dong-sang. The mechanics and demolition specialists in the team disappeared inexplicably during the operation again. This made him feel very uneasy.
After answering the phone, Virtek was a little dissatisfied. "Hey, Lin Rui, I said, you'd better not contact the outside world in the safe house. The world is insecure, and any form of communication can be spied on. I don't want a safe house I've worked so hard to find ruined by a phone call. ”
"I know, Vitak. But now the situation is urgent. This afternoon, one of my team members suddenly disappeared, and we are looking everywhere for his whereabouts. I know it's a bit presumptuous to call you like that, but it's important to all of us. Lin Rui sighed.
"I see, Fat Long has already called me. I'm also trying my best to find Park Dong-sang, but so far there are no clues. Vitak's voice was a little unnatural, "I think this might be a bit weird. ”
"What kind of weird method?" Lin Rui frowned.
"In a place like Cape Town, South Africa, where my eyeliner is almost everywhere, I don't even have to find someone for hours. But this time, it seems a little weird. Virtak whispered, "According to your description, he was flying a light helicopter. Logically speaking, such a large target should not be too difficult to find. Even if a person dies and the helicopter blows up, at least the wreckage of the plane can be found, right?
But strangely, we can't find it, we can't find any traces. It's like someone has handled it on purpose. In any case, if he is caught, he will always leave a trace. But the person who can handle this qiē without leaking a drop must be a difficult character. ”
"Do you think he may have fallen into the hands of the Secret Society?" Lin Rui's face darkened.
"Judging from the current situation, I think this is very possible. Virtek said after a moment of silence.
