Chapter 107 Determination
After a short uneasy wait, everything developed as Liu Zhengyi predicted.
As the reporting restrictions were lifted, a large number of automatic weapons were transferred from the nearest Ministry of Emergency Situations facilities and deployed around the Ninth District, completely surrounding this block that was already surrounded by walls.
District residents then built barricades tit for tat to block themselves from the inside. Bloodthirsty journalists swarmed in like flies clinging to wounds, and various reports unanimously pointed the finger at the "barbarism" in the 9th District.
"Gangster", there is even more excitement on social networks, where those who are not responsible for their speech vent their xenophobic sentiments and violent tendencies, and there is a demand for the federal government to reconsider the status of "isolated areas" like the Ninth District
"Public opinion" is rapidly forming.
The few sober people found to their dismay that everything was beginning to slide rapidly toward the abyss. Judging from the situation, this was just the beginning.
Then, as expected, the Special Investigation Team was revoked from entering the Ninth District, because no one wanted a police officer to enter the Ninth District and be kidnapped by the "mob" inside in such a tense moment, and then use it to blackmail the government.
A bargaining chip.
The investigation of the case has therefore come to a standstill. After all, many of the clues being tracked clearly point to the Ninth District. Without access to this area and the cooperation of the indigenous people of the Ninth District, they are no longer able to get to the bottom of the case.
It's just a fool's dream.
This result plunged Aaron into deep depression. At the same time, the strange "dream" made him both frightened and curious - he had determined that it was not a dream but a real conversation that happened somewhere, but if that conversation was real
, who passed the information to me through what method? What was the purpose of the other party doing this?
After thinking hard, Aaron found that he had only one solution, which was to trust Lan Tian for help. Only this boss, whom he had always viewed with a prejudiced eye, had enough technical ability to help him answer the problem. Of course, he must also bear the trust.
Her risk is that if she fails, she may end up similar to Ling Chong.
The answer is gradually becoming clear, but he is still in the midst of human hesitation.
"The off-duty time has already passed, aren't you going home?" Lan Tian walked to Aaron who was working at his desk in front of his personal computer. This subordinate who gave her a headache has been so busy all day.
"I have something I want to discuss with you." Aaron raised his head, as if he was waiting for the other party's question.
"Don't say you want to enter District 9. It's not a question of permission. Even I may not have that ability." Lan Tian guessed that Aaron would cause her some trouble, but she didn't guess correctly what Aaron would bring.
What's the trouble.
"Do I really seem that impulsive?" Lan Tian's speculation made Aaron smile bitterly.
"It depends on what you are facing. If the dreamer jumped off the building and ran away in front of you, I think you would jump down and chase him without hesitation." This was said very rudely but very objectively.
"Okay, it's true." Thinking that he might actually be able to do the same thing, Aaron didn't bother to deceive himself. "But now I can't even say that I caught their tails. I barely saw the shadow. I
I’m not so impulsive that I will be reckless with my shadow.”
"You mean them?" Lan Tian noticed Aaron's wording. In the past, Aaron tended to use "him" instead of "them" when referring to dream makers. Zhou Yuqing and Lan Tian mentioned that this was Aaron.
Caused by hatred towards the dreamer.
"Okay, you got the point." Aaron, who is more proficient in interrogation psychology than Lan Tian, shrugged, "I got some...well, I'm not sure about the information last night. I hope you can help me investigate this.
Whether the information is true or not, you are the only person I know who has this ability."
"It's just me, so you got the information from the electronic space." Lan Tian is very self-aware.
"I don't know, everything at that time was too illusory." Aaron scratched his head in distress, "Have you ever experienced sleepwalking?"
"No, so?"
"Neither did I, but I had a very strange dream yesterday. I can now translate every detail in the dream into detailed words, and when I woke up, I found myself standing on the windowsill of my house,
The alarm system in my apartment gave no warning of cyber or physical intrusion." Secretly making up his mind, Aaron spoke up.
"You suspect that a master has wirelessly invaded your brain and converted certain information into the form of dreams and transmitted it to you." Lan Tian understood what happened next. Those stories that seemed like fantasy to others were very interesting to her.
It is a crime that happens every day on the Internet, and Lan Tian himself has even done similar things.
"Is there any way to check?" Aaron asked.
"Yes, whether it can be found out depends on the ability of the investigators and the intruder." Lan Tian nodded, "And how much personal privacy you are willing to give up to me. After all, I have to search for traces of intrusion in your mind, which is inevitable.
You will see all kinds of information in your mind."
"As long as you can make sure it's my imagination, you can watch whatever you want. There's nothing shameful in my mind." Aaron said this like a tough guy.
"Then the best way is a brain scanner. This thing can digitally process your memory and avoid omissions caused by quantum fuzzy calculations to the greatest extent." Lan Tian suggested after receiving the reply.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, just do it if you think it's useful." As the saying goes, lines are separated like mountains. Aaron couldn't understand what Lan Tian was saying at all.
"You go to the 18th floor underground, I'll wait for you there." Lan Tian didn't bother to explain the difference between quantum computing and electronic computing to a person who rejects technology from the bottom of his heart.
--A few minutes later--
"Why is this place so gloomy?" There are white cold light strips on both sides of the iron-gray corridor, and thick security doors that look like they can withstand tank guns are embedded in the wall, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"This is a place for interrogation and temporary detention. It is deliberately designed to make suspects fear and surrender." No one wants their workplace to be a place that can be used directly to shoot horror movies. If there is a place like this, then it must be
There are reasons for this.
"So Uncle Ling is also locked up here?" Aaron suddenly thought of Ling Chong, whom he had always wanted to visit but had to stay away from because he wanted to avoid suspicion.
"Officer Ling is on the upper floor, which is the territory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Lan Tian pointed to the ceiling above his head.
"I really want to go see him, even if I just say a few words..." Perhaps because he felt that he was about to be fooled, so everything didn't matter anymore, Aaron told the truth that he would never say in normal times.
"You can apply to me." Lan Tian's response was too straightforward.
"You... forget it, you are still you, I was right about you." Lan Tian could not understand the complicated feelings in Aaron's heart, but it was in line with Aaron's consistent view of Lan Tian.
The two stopped in front of a blast-proof door. The structure here seemed to be stronger than that of other rooms. Aaron had never seen this level of structure in a prison cell for felons before.
"Is the brain scanner expensive? Or will it explode?" Aaron asked confused.
"It is indeed expensive, but that is not the reason for the high level of protection here." Lan Tian shook his head, "You have to know that not all law enforcement agencies are as unscrupulous as the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Because of the pressure of human rights condemnation, they can enjoy the treatment of brain scanners in the Intelligent Management Bureau.
The only ones that are extremely dangerous are those who are often caught inside heavily armed terminals and whose brains are difficult to separate from the terminals."
"So the administration often arrests a few lunatics who control modified terminals and imprisons them?" Aaron looked at him in disbelief. The safety factor of this place was even lower than he imagined.
"Yes, when the administration first became independent from the police system, you should still have the impression that smart terminal crimes were extremely rampant at that time. But thanks to the efforts of our predecessors, the situation is now much better. This place has only had two raids this year.
Current crime." Lan Tian replied happily.
