Chapter 285 Human Traffickers Deserve to Die 30
When Cai Zhihong, Wang Lei and a hacker named An Ye appeared, Sirong had a vague impression of them.
As a cyber hacker, hiding one's identity is an unwritten rule in this industry.
No one wants their life and family to be affected by this identity.
Sirong's hacker identity is codenamed 5 Ye.
A few years ago, the "Octagon" operation that shook the entire hacker community is still talked about by many people.
That operation was a miracle created by "5 Ye" leading domestic hackers and working together with Red Hackers.
But for Sirong, it was just one of her countless brilliant achievements.
Her skills, in this world, have reached a level unmatched by anyone else. Any firewall is useless against her. Her name is taboo in the hacker community, a legend no one dares to mention lightly.
On the night of the capture of the Octagon, she sat alone in front of the computer as usual, and the codes jumping on the screen were like the notes she controlled.
The entire process was smooth and even a bit boring; such a task was already too easy for her. However, in the team chat, she stumbled upon an unfamiliar ID: Dark Night.
This name is particularly inconspicuous among the top hackers. Everyone's code name is so arrogant and full of prestige.
Sirong just glanced at it casually, but the name remained in her memory.
An Ye was trying to break through a perimeter firewall. Although he eventually succeeded, the process was a bit clumsy, and he was even nearly discovered by the anti-tracking system several times. Si Rong watched his operation and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
In the hacker world, Sirong's skills, calmness, and judgment are all top-notch.
And An Ye, at first glance, looks like an elementary school student who has just entered this circle.
In the following years, Sirong could occasionally see this ID called Dark Night, active in the forum, discussing issues that were gradually improving from the entry level.
It can be seen that An Ye has some talent in this area.
There is no clue in this case. 12 people disappeared without any warning in this bustling city, without leaving any trace, not even any witnesses.
All the clues seemed to be cut off at a certain point, so cleanly that it made people feel chilled.
Sirong decided to look for a breakthrough from Wang Lei, one of the missing persons and the person most likely to lead Sirong to the case.
She needed to find any online traces related to Wang Lei, especially those details that had not been noticed by the police.
She searched the various forums on the dark web over and over again, hoping to find any clues related to Dark Night. But the dark web was like a boundless ocean, with a vast and complex information flow, making it even more difficult to track down someone who was deliberately hiding.
"Xiao 5, expand the search range. We need to search the entire network and not miss any possible corner." Si Rong gave the order calmly.
[Ok, host. 】
The search scope has expanded from the dark web to the entire Internet, even including some secret forums and chat groups on the surface web.
After several hours of unremitting efforts, they finally found a poem that was suspected to have been published by An Ye in a seemingly insignificant literary discussion group:
The night is dark and starless, and the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind sound like wailing.
My heart is like a trapped beast seeking a way to survive, and I am waiting for help behind the moon and deep clouds.
The account that posted the poem looked ordinary, but Sirong immediately saw the clues. The posting time, the user ID registration information, and the implicit hints in the poem all convinced her that the poem was written by An Ye.
Every word in the poem was filled with a deep sense of despair and a cry for help. Sirong savored it carefully, trying to find the clues hidden in the dark night between the lines.
"The night is dark and starless." This sentence seems to describe the predicament that An Ye himself is in. He is trapped in a place from which he cannot escape. It is dark all around and he can see no hope.
"The wind shakes the tree shadows like wailing." The wind shakes the tree shadows. This may be describing a specific place or a certain environmental feature.
But why didn’t Wang Lei send a message for help on the dark web?
Sirong sat in front of the computer, tapping the desk lightly with her fingers, her brows furrowed.
But the question is, if An Ye could post a poem asking for help in a literary group on the clear web, why didn't Wang Lei send out any distress signals on the dark web? Logically speaking, as a former internet expert, it wouldn't be difficult for Wang Lei to access the dark web and ask for help.
Sirong was puzzled.
She knew her hacker exchange page all too well.
Although she is usually busy with various tasks and does not have much time to take care of it, Xiao 5 goes to the forum to filter it every day to ensure the security of the page and the purity of the information.
Out of respect for personal privacy, Sirong did not ask Xiao 5 to conduct an in-depth check of everyone's personal information in the forum. She just confirmed their nationality. As long as no extreme remarks were posted in the forum, she generally would not interfere too much.
"Could it be that he couldn't find the right opportunity? Or... has he been controlled to the point where he can't send any message?" Several possibilities emerged in Sirong's mind, and each one made her feel uneasy.
She decided not to speculate any further and immediately began to follow up on the existing clues.
"Xiao 5, follow this ID and investigate further." Sirong gave the order decisively.
【OK. 】
Sirong had always trusted Xiao5's technical prowess, especially for network tracking missions like this one. Xiao5 had never let her down. Before long, Xiao5's response rang out in the channel:
[Host, the signal from this ID finally disappeared near the construction site of the new urban area. I tried to scan it and found a large area beneath the construction site that appeared to be metal, and my scanning program couldn't penetrate it.]
When Sirong heard this, her heart beat faster.
The New City District Reconstruction Project is one of the largest construction projects in the city in recent years. The entire construction site is tightly fenced off and security measures are extremely strict.
Moreover, due to the huge scale of the project, the underground construction scope is also very large. If it is true as Xiao 5 said that there is a large area of metal structure that cannot be penetrated by the scanning, then this place is very likely to be the key location they are looking for.
Without Sirong's instructions, Xiao 5 sorted out the company information of the project and sent it to her.
[Host, this new urban area renovation project is part of the Qin Group's business!]
"Qin Group?"
[Yes, it's the Qin family of Deputy Mayor Qin.]
