Chapter 64 Chapter 64

    The next day, early morning.

     "Pancakes, fruit gaba dishes, double-ingredient noodle tea and egg bags, hey—"

     Through the windows, the noise of car pedestrians and early morning stalls screamed, and the sun shined through the treetops, sprinkled on the old wooden floor.

     "..." Bu Chonghua opened his eyes, stretched a long waist, and felt that his side was empty.

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

     -There is no response.

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

     The bedroom was empty, the bed blankets were neatly folded, and the wall clock indicated that it was 8:30 in the morning-obviously the consequence of forgetting to set the phone alarm was that it was an unprecedented late wake-up call today. Bu Chonghua shook his head to make himself awake, got up and went to the outside room. The old walls and second-hand appliances of the 1990s were bathed in the morning light. On the table was a bag of breakfast and a glass of soy milk.

     Bu Chonghua walked over and saw a note under the soymilk cup, Wu Yu's handwriting.

     "I went to work, the pancake fruit is for you."

    "No coriander, two sausages."

     Bu Chonghua laughed dumbly and murmured, "...the skin is quite thin."

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

     "Step Detachment!"

     "Early step by step!"

    Bu Chonghua's shirt, trousers, leather shoes, nodded expressionlessly, strode across the corridor with soy milk, and the wind swept into the large field office: "Where is Wu Yu?"

    "Oh Bu Detachment!" Zhang Xiaoli, who was by the door, took a bite of chocolate, and got up in a hurry: "Director Wang called Brother Little Wu to the evidence room to help. Are you looking for something to do with him?"

     "Call Wu Yu to come in and find me later." Bu Chonghua left a sentence without exception, walking straight into the detachment leader's office and closing the door with a loud sound.

     "..." Xiaogui, a forensic doctor who was coming upstairs to buy milk tea with the Criminal Investigation Detachment, watched Bu Chonghua pass all the way, blinked his eyes, pounded Cai Lin and said, "No, Cai'er."

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

    "The facial features of your squadron today have obvious reactions to life."

    Cai Lin biu raised his head with a cry: "Isn't the term life reaction used for the dead?"

    Xiaogui’s forensic doctor said: "Ah, understand the spirit. Today, the zygomatic capillary dilated in the zygomatic area, red blood cells gathered, pupil radiation muscle contracted, the levator horn muscle was slightly raised, the vocal cords closed, the low-frequency vibration intensified, and there may be a little microcirculation opening. And blood flow speeds up. From our professional point of view, this situation is a bit similar to..."

    "...Similar to?"

    The two looked at each other and Little Gui forensic doctor solemnly uttered two words: "Huaichun."

    "Puff!" Cai Lin almost didn't laugh, then he straightened his face in the dissatisfied gaze of Xiaogui's forensic doctor, and said seriously: "I'll tell you the truth, even Xu Ju can cherish spring in this world. Sister Meng It is impossible for our boss to be able to rejuvenate the second puberty."

    "Then what do you think he is?"

    Cai Lin mysteriously approached, covering half of his mouth, and whispered: "Pregnant. Little Wu's."

    Xiaogui's forensic doctor took Tathagata palms and took Cai Lin back to his seat, 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 in the morning? What did you eat? Did you get used to sleeping last night? What, did you dream of me at night? That must be because the hotel bed is not good. The bed was shipped to Beijing by air, and some people moved to the hotel to replace it..."

    Just as Bu Chonghua opened the door of his office, he saw Yan Xiu sitting behind his desk with his legs crossed and talking on the phone, clearing his throat heavily.

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

    Yan Xi hung up the phone, and Bu Chonghua asked, "Your lover is in Beijing?"

    "Yeah, isn't this the hapless class of the third governor and the second governor opened in Beijing."

    Bu Chonghua looked at his cousin complicatedly: "Don't tell me she also has to take the exam for promotion..."

    "What are you thinking about, still getting promoted?" Yan Xiudale: "Are you afraid that you are teasing me?"

    Before Bu Chonghua could feel a trace of relief, he saw his cousin raised his head and said, "I am going to be an invigilator!"

    ...

    This cousin is out of help, what should aunt and uncle do in the future.

    "What are you doing in my office early in the morning?" Bu Chonghua asked with a sigh.

    "Inquire about the case and care about my brother's health by the way." Yan Xiu was as open and natural as if sitting in the office of the Criminal Investigation Division Chief of the Jianning City Bureau, and said leisurely: "After all, you didn't go home overnight, I thought it was the case. With breakthrough progress, I came to the city bureau early this morning and met Little Wu, only to realize that you had gone to'borrowing' at his house last night and had a meal at someone's house to make noodles..."

    Bu Chonghua said indifferently: "What happened to the overnight stay?"

    "It's okay, but you are an hour later than Wu Yu."

    "..."

    "Brother," Yan Xiu said sincerely, "I always thought I was going to prepare a dowry for you. I'm sorry I was wrong. So what you need is a dowry."

    The two brothers stood and sat across the desk and looked at each other for a long time. Bu Chonghua slowly said, "What I need is a cousin who can be more normal-minded."

    Knocking! Knocking!

    At this time, the office door knocked twice, and then it was opened. Half of her head came in through the crack of the door. It was the queen mother who cruelly separated the young couple early in the morning... Wang Jiuling who took Wu Yu to the material evidence room to help, hey asked, "Buer, are you free now? Yo, is your brother too?"

    Wang Ertu even dared to take the initiative to come. Bu Chonghua stared at him, with a vague desire for wind and rain in his tone: "Where is Wu Yu?"

    "Human? The man was kidnapped by the technical team, and he is about to be washed and sent to the forensic room to be a child bride." Wang Jiuling Shi Shiran pushed the door in: "Don't talk about that nonsense, come-this is you crying I applied to the Internet surveillance application above. I just got off the plane this morning. I brought it here to introduce you."

    Usually, when applying for online investigation, you have to report layer by layer, but didn't expect to come so soon this time. Bu Chonghua was a little surprised, and immediately saw Wang Jiuling flashed around with a smile, and a long and familiar figure appeared outside the door, a light blue shirt, silver-gray trousers, and a heavy briefcase in his hand.

    Bu Chonghua looked at each other and the corner of his eyebrows jumped.

    "Foreign aid transferred by the Public Security Department of Yundian Province, a well-known internet expert," Wang Jiuling patted the man on the shoulder and smiled: "Lin Kang."

    Ten minutes later, the technical team office.

    "Hey—you two know each other?!" Wang Jiuling looked at Bu Chonghua obliquely with his hands on his hips, feeling like he suddenly discovered that a good friend had cheated on his back: "You are in Jinhai all day, how did you meet Expert Lin? I do not know how?"

    "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Lin Kang waved his hand and smiled: "I can't be called an expert. It's just an errand to catch the ducks temporarily. A cross-border arrest case was handed over to the detachment, so there is a side Yuan, I didn't expect to meet again this time."

    Bu Chonghua didn't say a word.

    Wang Jiuling looked at him jealously: "Your kid is really full of peach blossoms?"

    Liao Gang, Meng Jiao and several other detachment policemen who handled the 502 case were all in the office. Wu Yu, who returned from the evidence room, was also there, but stayed in the corner and kept silent. Bu Chonghua looked at him calmly, Wu Yu quickly raised his eyelids if he felt a sense of it, and the two of them looked at each other.

    Then Wu Yu dropped his eyes again, looking at the ground.

    At that moment Bu Chonghua understood what he was thinking--

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

    "Several cases we have dealt with before are all related to the dark web, so after the 502 case was reported to the Ministry of Public Security, Feng Ting wanted to send me a look, hoping to provide colleagues with some clues within his capacity." Lin Kang Opened the briefcase he never left, took out the computer, turned it on, and turned down Wang Jiuling's intention to help him connect to the public security bureau's wireless network: "No, I will open the hotspot myself-this computer has been configured with onion routing and I2P."

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

    "A tracking program for criminal websites." Lin Kang explained, "The dark web has no search engine. If you don't know the URL, you won't know where to search the website even if you connect to the onion router. So someone later developed a dark version. 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 In order to avoid the cyber police, it is common to change the suffix of the website address every three days. So I have to set up a tracking program, otherwise it is like tracking a few specific fish in the vast ocean, and it is easy to chase them away. ." 999 novel first published https://www.999xs.com https://m.999xs.com

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

    Bu Chonghua suddenly asked, "Does the dark web version of eBay you mean the Mariana Trench?"

    "It's worthy of a detachment. It's really well-informed." Lin Kang said happily. He was very happy to not 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 smoothly clicked on a website from the tracking program. The next moment, the screen suddenly dimmed, and two rows of red letters slowly appeared in the darkness. It was the slogan of the website——

    ChooseFreedomoverTyranny

    Shark1325

    Freedom of choice, not tyranny | Politics-site founder and administrator, Shark.

    At that moment, there was no sound in the office, and everyone was deeply shocked by the terrible Nakaji atmosphere.

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

    The website disappeared three seconds after opening, and a dazzling homepage of various products appeared.

    Although it is known as the dark version of eBay, the homepage of Mariana Trench is actually similar to Taobao. It is full of product images uploaded by various merchants, from big|hemp, ecstasy| pills, psychedelics, adult videos, pornography, arms|gun There are even suspicious corpse stumps, all arranged in a disorderly manner, dizzying.

    "--Wait, wait." Wang Jiuling suddenly remembered something: "Li Hongxi and Diao Jianfa are often on the dark web. Is it possible that they have posted advertisements for the sale of human skulls on the Mariana Trench?"

    The detectives all over the room lifted their spirits: "Oh, yes!" "Good idea!" "Try searching for a keyword?"

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

    "Why?"

     Bu Chonghua frowned and said, "Did you not find out? This e-commerce company doesn't let you do in-site searches at all."

     Everyone was stunned, their eyes gathered on the monitor, as expected.

     The colorful website homepage is full of advertisements, but no matter it is at the top or bottom, the search box is completely missing.

    "Yes, I just wanted to tell you." Lin Kang regretted. "Since a year ago, the search box in the Marina Trench has been hidden."

     ——E-commerce website hides the search box? Then how do buyers search for the goods they want, and how to shop around and place orders?

     Don't dark web users mind the praise rate and the price-performance ratio, and buy which one they catch by luck?

     "Ah, I know I know!" Yan Xiu, who seems to understand but not understand, suddenly slapped his face and reacted: "It is the same as Xianyu removing the search box on the web version. It is the product manager's routine to encourage users to download APP!"

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

     Bu Chonghua: "Do you still use Xianyu?"

    Everyone swept their gazes at Yan Xiu, and all of them were thinking in an instant: You are a rich second-generation driving an eight-figure sports car, why the hell go shopping for fish? ?

    "Walk around," Yan Xiu said honestly, "My idle clothes, shoes, belts, and small appliances will be sent up and sold, how about it? Did you throw them all away? Too much, right?"

    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 promise not to waste it."

    "The Mariana Trench does not have an APP," Lin Kang said with a smile. "The reason why we hide the search box 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 manager and the Mariana Trench, and further capture the shark himself... We have the most sophisticated plan and the most heroic undercover, that This action almost succeeded."

    a year ago.

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

    Liao Gang asked: "Unsuccessful in the end?"

    "The shark and the police broke out in a conflagration. They made a strong encirclement and took people away." Lin Kang obviously didn't want to talk more. "But he was hit hard, and the Mariana Trench was forced to offline for a whole year, and it was only recently that it came online again— -Since then, all dark web e-commerce companies have added verification codes and concealed the search box, mainly to avoid distributed denial of service attacks and repeat the experience of the Mariana Trench."

    People who are not extremely familiar, even if they look closer, will never find that Wu Yu's shoulders and neck are slightly stiff, and his teeth are so tightly clenched that there are few invisible bones protruding from his temples.

    Bu Chonghua's heart seemed to be squeezed fiercely by the invisible hand, almost unable to control it in an instant, stepped forward and held his hand comfortably——

    A year ago, the shark had a conflagration with the police. Although it suffered heavy losses, it still succeeded in breaking through the encirclement, and the arrest fell short.

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

    What happened in the operation a year ago?

    "You mean other dark web e-commerce companies," Yan Xiu asked thoughtfully at this time: "Apart from the Mariana Trench, are there other e-commerce platforms with a larger scale?"

    "Yes. AlphaBay, Dream Market, Lufthansa, Darknet Wall Street, Silk Road 234.0 Edition... and the latest Berlusconi, RAMP, are all developing very rapidly."

    Yan Xiu was taught: "All overseas giants compete in the international market, so there are no domestic ones?"

    He just asked casually, but saw Lin Kang paused, and said slowly: "It's really there. It ranks among the top ten in the world and the largest transaction volume in Asia. The name is Tea Horse Road."

    Yan Xiu was stunned: "Fuck, the light of domestic products!"

    "Puff--cough cough cough! Cough cough..." Lin Kang almost took a sip of tea, and quickly rubbed his nose with a tissue, crying and laughing: "The speed of the domestic product light network is slow. It is said that the computer room is built in the Netherlands, and It is one of the first e-commerce companies to hide the search box. The first reason for its expansion is to support Chinese, but after the Mariana Trench went online again, the run on domestic products has been much worse than before. From the traffic statistics, it is estimated to have supported But a few months."

    "Hey, the domestic products can't do the European and American department," Director Wang is a bit pity.

    "It can be said," Lin Kang said with a smile, "but the suspect uses domestic products... it is still very likely to use the Ancient Tea Horse Road to publish and sell information. After all, human bone artifacts are more trusted in Asia than in Europe and America. "

    "Then you can't search and it's useless?" Director Wang thought for a while: "Can I write a script for external search?"

    "It can be, as long as the API is available, but the internet speed will be very slow." Lin Kang thought for a moment and said, "Well, let me try to write a script, using magic tools, religion, and sacrifice rituals as keywords. Search on a large e-commerce platform. But time cannot be guaranteed. If you are unlucky, the search process may take several hours, okay?"

    Director Wang was overjoyed: "Write and write, you can do it. Anyway, this case has been delayed for so long. Don't worry about this little effort. Isn't it a step forward?"

    Bu Chonghua was noncommittal and should acquiesce.

    The concepts of dark web, deep web, and onion routing are not widely understood in China. Many people still don't know that their email and chat software are actually deep web. In order to gain attention, the frenzied tabloid cut out the copy entrance in the game video and the dismemberment scenes in the horror movie and falsely claimed to be "dark web exploration", and created the dark web divided into eighteen layers of hell. In reality, urban legends such as being assassinated by hackers have cast a weird and terrifying veil on anonymous network technology.

    In fact, the dark web is not so weird and terrifying, nor is it supernaturally powerful, but its anonymous technology in layers of relays does create countless difficult problems for the police in various countries. Due to the fact that the domestic development is half a step behind in this regard, there are not many cases related to the dark web so far, and the detection is nothing more than a needle in a haystack.

    An office worker can only leave to eat first, hoping to soak instant noodles, network investigators can create miracles from the vast ocean.

    Wu Yu deliberately avoided Liao Gang, who was asking everyone to eat the baking dish, and did not say hello to anyone. He lowered his head and walked through the corridor along the wall, walked into the pantry, and randomly found Bao Laotan sauerkraut noodles and burned it with an electric kettle. Click on the blisters.

    A group of people went out to eat together lively, their footsteps gradually drifted away, and the silence was restored.

    They should have all gone downstairs.

    When a person's heart is chaotic to a certain level, the riad of threads are hard to describe. On the contrary, can't capture any formed thoughts, only a little bit of complicated tastes spread from the throat. Wu Yu put one hand in his trouser pocket and one hand on the bowl of instant noodles. He felt that his palm was slightly warmed by the steam. After a long while, he felt a little bit self-deprecating. He shook his head and exhaled.

    He stirred the instant noodles with a disposable fork, ate two bites indiscriminately, and just turned around holding the bowl of noodles, suddenly his movements froze in place——

    A heavy figure blocked the entrance of the pantry, it was Bu Chonghua!

    "Are you deliberately hiding from me this morning?" Bu Chonghua asked softly.

    "..." Wu Yu seemed to have something blocked in his throat, he couldn't say a word, and it took a long time to hoarse: "No."

    "--No?"

    During the lunch break, the corridor outside was empty, with no half of a person visible. Bu Chonghua leaned forward, Wu Yu stepped back, but there was no extra space in the small tea room, and the two of them faced each other in the next moment.

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