Chapter 50: The Death Network

In the conference room, Chen Mingming recalled what he saw on the parchment scroll, and compared it with the analysis of the case, confirming both sides - but he found that the content on the parchment was exactly the same as the police had in their possession.

Not only the information, but also the identity is ready.

It seems that the boss did not deliberately make things difficult on this exam question...... It is even said that it is completely convenient for itself - on the other hand, the time to solve the case is now within five days.

β€œ...... So far, we have tracked down two other women who are in a relationship with Wang Liang. "The person in charge of the intelligence is updating the new information to everyone at this time, "However, according to the final time of death from the medical examiner, we found that both women had alibi certificates, which can basically rule out suspicion." ”

Another female police officer went on to say at this time: "MA SIR, ZHOU SIR, I HAVE COMPARED SIMILAR CASES IN THE PAST THREE YEARS, AND SOME FUGITIVE WANTED CRIMINALS, BUT I HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING IN COMMON......

"Is it possible that it was the first time or the second time to commit a crime?" Ma Houde rubbed his eyebrows, "The first time he committed a crime, he was so meticulous, is this murderer a devil?"

They don't even know if the murderer is male or female, approximate age, height and weight, etc. - they just know that the murderer is a person with a habit of cleanliness.

Zhou Yusheng knocked on the table at this time, falling into deep thought.

This is the first time that Chen Mingming has been so close to the person handling the case...... Being in such an environment, Chen Mingming couldn't help but be in a trance.

At this time, Zhou Yusheng was silent, his brows furrowed...... This is something that Chen Mingming has never seen, another side of Zhou Yusheng.

As far back as he remembers, his father was a man who was often drunk and irritable.

Chen Mingming, who had not seen his father for many years, was calm at this time, and he was distracted unconsciously...... It turns out that one day, will I really be able to handle the case with my father?

He gradually became a little confused about the truth and the fake.

It's as if you are the real person at this moment...... Everything before yesterday was just a dream of oneself.

"Is there anything on my face. Feeling Chen Mingming's gaze, Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Team Zhou is a loud person, and his voice quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked ...... Chen Mingming was not used to so many eyes pouring on himself at the same time.

They are different from the students at school, and they have different eyes than the students at school...... Subconsciously, Chen Mingming was a little flustered.

He took a breath, and he had already thought of words to deal with it in his heart, but when these words came to his mouth, Chen Mingming found that he couldn't say it...... The words that almost blurted out just turned into a sentence in the end: "Nothing." ”

"Hmm. Zhou Yusheng nodded, and then fell into deep thought.

Chen Mingming was stunned, his body subconsciously stood up, and said in a low voice: "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

As he spoke, Chen Mingming walked away quickly, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

But instead of actually going to the bathroom, he made his way to a small empty balcony on the floor...... He subconsciously unbuttoned the neckline, and only then did he feel that his breathing had become smoother.

"I'm actually going to ......," Chen Mingming looked at the street outside.

The endless stream of vehicles, mixed with faint human voices, quickly calmed down Chen Mingming - he quickly realized his problem.

Under those eyes that are different from those of students, and those environments that are different from those of the classroom, he subconsciously chose to hide himself...... He instinctively felt his restraint, and he even had a feeling that he couldn't breathe well.

He even felt ...... Nervous.

Chen Mingming suddenly fell into a trance...... Just one group meeting here, Chen Mingming realized a problem: he didn't seem to be as good as he imagined.

"What are you thinking?"

......

Coldly, Chen Mingming felt someone tap his shoulder from behind...... This is the voice of his father Zhou Yusheng.

Chen Mingming tried not to be too flustered...... He shook his head and didn't speak.

Zhou Yusheng smiled at this time and said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you have only been a policeman for a long time, and you have encountered such a big case, and you will inevitably be a little nervous." ”

Chen Mingming was stunned...... He wondered if he had found a flaw somewhere.

"I... Do I look nervous?" asked Chen Mingming with a frown.

Zhou Yusheng pointed to his eyes and said, "You don't look nervous, but you're still too tender! What do I do with your father? Dad, I've seen not a thousand prisoners, but eight hundred, and my eyes can't be hidden." ”

"I..." Chen Mingming was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Maybe." ”

Zhou Yusheng suddenly grabbed Chen Mingming's shoulders with both hands, "Relax, you are the first to graduate from the academy, you are much better than my father and me." I'm just having some more experience with you. But you'll have these things too, so you'll definitely be better than me in the future. ”

Impression...... He had never said anything like that to himself.

Chen Mingming nodded, and suddenly said, "I want to go to the murder scene again." ”

"The scene of the murder?" Zhou Yusheng was stunned, and then nodded in agreement: "It's okay, maybe there is really something missing...... You wait, I'll go get the car, I'll go with you. ”

Naturally, the investigation of the scene is not limited to the discovery of the body - in fact, many investigations have been done later, but for those who want to solve the case, as long as the case is not solved for a day, the scene has the value of investigation.

Looking at the back of Zhou Yusheng leaving, Chen Mingming smiled bitterly.

Investigate the case with his father...... It's even something he never thought about.

This different feeling made it difficult for Chen Mingming to maintain his previous calmness from the beginning.

He suddenly thought of a most suitable adjective that could describe his state at this time: eyes are high and low.

......

......

β€œ...... Okay, you continue to follow Zhao Le, and once you find that the target appears, notify immediately. ”

In the office of the Authority, Liu Minghao took the call from Bubugao's report back before he began to eat today's breakfast while watching the news on the Authority's intranet.

"Brother Hao, I've finished talking to that Director Liu, and he will arrange the next things. Wei Zidao came back from outside at this time, "What are you looking at?"

Liu Minghao said casually: "Look at the news of the 'Death Network' case." ”

"Is there any new news?" Wei Zidao heard this, and immediately asked curiously, "This case is so mysterious, it's been almost half a year, right?"

"yes. Liu Minghao nodded.

This 'death network' case was first discovered about half a year ago - in this half year, some deceased people have appeared one after another across the country.

From time to time, something like this happens - a case of sudden death of a young man who is addicted to the Internet.

Generally speaking, it is not uncommon for this kind of person to ignore his own health because he is addicted to the virtual world, and even fight in the virtual world for several days and nights in a row, and finally die suddenly. Basically similar cases are found and will be classified locally as natural death.

However, as the number of such cases began to increase, it gradually attracted the attention of the Authority, which has a special department that will pay attention to all kinds of ordinary types of cases all the time, because there are many extraordinary crimes that are hidden in these seemingly ordinary cases.

Finally, when someone discovered that during this period of time, more than seventy percent of these people who died suddenly because of the virtual world were because they were playing the same 'game', it ...... Finally caught the attention of the Authority.

The Authority began to intervene in the mysterious case, and soon discovered that the incredible thing was that those who died suddenly because of the game were still able to operate in the game after they were found dead.

Yes, it's an activity, it's an activity, it's an activity that can chat, it's an activity that can be dungeon, and it's not just accounts that exist as game data - what's even more incredible is that none of these accounts belonging to the deceased can find their IP addresses.

It's as if it appeared out of nowhere.

As the investigation deepened, the Authority even found a number of people in a 'comatose' state, who were basically collapsed in front of their own computers, and the computers were showing the game.

At present, there are not many patients in a coma in the whole country, although they are scattered all over the country, and there may be only one inconspicuous case in some places, but when taken together in the whole country, this number becomes very impressive.

Those who are unconscious, their accounts are still active, but suddenly one day, these accounts will suddenly disappear - at the same time, the unconscious people, they will also die directly.

Finally, the Authority named the case "The Death Network", a case of a transcendent nature, and came to a startling conclusion!

That's the unconscious, and there's a good chance they've been sucked into this weird game!

During this time, the Administration Bureau invested a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate this case, and it was only the extraordinarily large case that occurred in Taishan last month that the case was temporarily stopped, and now that the Taishan case has been calmed down, the 'death network' naturally began to investigate again.

Liu Minghao and Wei Zidao are not the people who investigate this case in a complicated way, but they are always concerned - after all, the victims of the 'death network' do not have a fixed geographical law, and they may encounter them in the process of handling other cases?

"On top of that, in the past half month, the number of people who are in a coma has suddenly increased. Liu Minghao frowned: "It's almost increasing at a rate several times before, and it's no longer limited to the game "Jade Fantasy". ”

"It's getting serious?" Wei Zidao also frowned.

As far as he knew, the victims who appeared at the beginning were all because they played the same game, so the company that produced this game was naturally thoroughly investigated from top to bottom.

Originally, the Authority had thought of shutting down the game company's servers directly, but it was worried about whether the souls trapped in the game would be affected, or even directly lead to the death of the unconscious, so the game had to continue to operate - in fact, the game company has now changed hands and is currently under the strict control of the Authority.

"yes, there's a headache up there. ”

Liu Minghao said: "And there is another thing, that is, the original game, there was a sudden update last week - but this update was not developed by the game company independently, nor did it go through the game's server, and an automatic version update was completed." Our people can't trace the source of the update data at all!And since this update, the number of comatose people has begun to increase, and it is no longer limited to playing this game, and there are a lot of abnormal accounts in this game for some reason...... It seems that even abroad has begun to appear like this. ”

"It's ...... abroad," Wei Zidao subconsciously gasped, "This ...... Could it be that virtual games have become demons?"

"I don't know. Liu Minghao shook his head: "But now the bureau plans to send someone to play this game, hoping to find a way for the soul to enter the game...... That's all for now, and nothing more. ”

"How many victims are there?" Wei Zidao asked subconsciously.

"According to incomplete statistics, there are almost 80,000 people. Liu Minghao said: "And most of them are dead, and there are about sixteen or seven thousand people who are currently in a coma." ”

Wei Zidao smiled bitterly: "If this number continues to grow, I'm afraid it won't be able to cover it in the bureau......"

80,000 people seems like a lot, but if it is scattered all over the country, or even around the world, it seems so small - but no matter how small it is, when this number continues to grow, it will inevitably attract the attention of society, and when the time comes, it will not be a simple explanation that can cover things up.

"Yes......" Liu Minghao smiled bitterly: "It's really eventful...... By the way, the equipment I applied for should be delivered in the afternoon, and when the time comes, I can search for the 24 position, so you can go and prepare. ”

"Okay!"

......

Far away in the capital, the headquarters of the Authority.

In a room with dozens of high-end computers, row after row of men and women are fighting hard...... Monsters inside the game.

"Oh yes, is the first layer of this Demon King's Castle a hell difficulty!"

"Milk me fast, milk me quickly!!!"

The shouts of the air are one after another, and this place seems to be the most common in the city...... Internet cafΓ© too.

"Attention everyone, I have a request for money here!"

Suddenly, in front of one of the computers, a young man pressed the bell next to the desk - which instantly attracted everyone's attention, even one of the people in charge of the case.

β€œYES/NOοΌŸβ€

"After playing for so long, did you finally show up...... The secret behind the game. ”

"To agree or not to disagree?"

"Agree! or you'll be in vain......"

The young man in front of the computer nodded, and then took a deep breath - because of this special interface, it has only appeared for the first time so far, and there is a countdown circle on it, obviously it will not stay forever, and the next time it will appear, I don't know when.

Finally, at the behest of the team leader, the young man directly clicked the agree button - he was naturally very nervous, but in addition to him, there were dozens of agents and logistics support personnel here, and this was the headquarters of the Authority, which claimed to be able to resist nuclear bombs...... Even if the computer could explode, it wouldn't hurt anyone.

But at the moment when the young man clicked agree, he fell directly on the table...... Quietly.

And the account belonging to this young man is moving automatically at this moment, and on the chat channel, such a line of text appears.

- I...... I've got to get in!

Such a strange scene suddenly made everyone in the room feel cold......
