Chapter 21 The Dead Can Talk

"What's the harvest?" The meeting place was not the office of the special investigation team but Lan Tian's personal laboratory. The out-of-control terminal that was separated from Lan Tian's body and the service terminal recovered by Aaron and the others were fixed on the frame. It looked like

It seems to have gone through a series of tests.

"There are a lot of interesting things, so I called you here." Lan Tian's terminal was messing around in front of the out-of-control terminal. "First of all, I have figured out the terminal that almost killed you. In addition to the modification of the underlying logic,

The main modified parts are from the federal military’s third-generation autonomous mountain patrol aircraft ‘Manticore’.”

"Isn't the third generation the latest cutting-edge machine in active service?! No wonder it's so difficult to deal with." Aaron and Zhou Yuqing had no reaction, but Ling Chong was shocked by the news. With a military background, he was very sensitive to military equipment and knew that

The news that Lan Tian casually said represented how serious the situation was.

"Yes, it is an active product that was officially put into service this year. I have asked the military whether there have been any missing aircraft of the same type or parts of this type of aircraft recently, but I have not received a reply from them yet." Lan Tian nodded.

"Oh, it's better not to expect a formal reply from the supervisor. If the things really leak out from the military, they will definitely not explain the situation clearly to the local government and will only digest and deal with it internally. If it does not flow out from the military, the military will

I'm too lazy to care about local troubles." Ling Chong also had a deep understanding of the rotten unspoken rules within the Bundeswehr.

"Do we need to ask the higher-ups to put further pressure?" After hearing what Ling Chong said, Zhou Yuqing suggested asking the higher-ups of the administration for help.

"Don't think about it. There's no hope if the director goes there in person." Ling Chong kept shaking his head, "That's a cutting-edge machine that was only put into service this year. How brave does it have to be for someone to steal it and sell it? I don't think there's any backer behind it.

Don’t you believe it? Although the military generals are all bastards, they are not stupid. How can such a family scandal of pulling out carrots and covering them with mud let others fall into the wrong hands?"

"That means there are no channels for obtaining information from the military." Lan Tian frowned slightly, "How about starting the investigation from the manufacturer?"

"The premise is that the things really leak out from the hands of the manufacturer." Ling Chong reached out and touched his chin, "And manufacturers will not easily admit that their products are lost and stolen before delivery. Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will seriously affect the acceptance of goods.

Order coming in.”

"It's better to arrange for someone to go to the manufacturer. The factory that produces the military model is in this city. The possibility of the murderer stealing parts directly from the manufacturer is not low." Lan Tian acknowledged Ling Chong's judgment, but still didn't want to

Give up the clue here.

"Except for knowing that there are military parts in the terminal, nothing else has been found?" Compared with the field investigation of not knowing whether it can be harvested, Aaron is more concerned about whether Lan Tian has extracted valuable electronic information from the out-of-control terminal.

"No, except for the lowest level of the system, all the remaining data on this machine was wiped out by the murderer in a very clever way." There was even a bit of admiration in Lan Tian's tone, "The murderer probably used a method

The trigger virus he wrote himself will trigger when the conditions are met and scramble and rewrite all the system data with random numbers in a short period of time."

"Can't recover?"

"It cannot be restored. The scrambling process is completely random. It is equivalent to the data being shredded in disorder and without processing records. In the end, even the virus itself will be eliminated, leaving only a bunch of meaningless garbled characters. I don’t know how the data was destroyed.

Naturally, it cannot be restored." Lan Tian regretted.

"Oh, so apart from knowing that the murderer is a hacker who can write his own viruses and a modification technician who has channels to obtain active military weapons, we don't know anything else?" Lan Tian's answer made Aaron very frustrated. He felt that

What you risk your life to get should be more valuable.

"He is still a cautious and intelligent criminal. At least he did not leak any information that gave us a clear breakthrough. This is not an easy thing to do under the modern criminal investigation system," Lan Tian said.

At this point the conversation suddenly changed, "But just because he didn't leave anything behind doesn't mean others won't leave anything behind."

"Director, please stop showing off to us. Now is not the time." Seeing Lan Tian deliberately showing off in front of Aaron, Zhou Yuqing said with a bitter smile.

"Tch, it's boring." Lan Tian pouted unhappily, "The machine you two got from the repair factory is indeed quite interesting. After it is turned on, it will ask for the biological data of the victim Li Yang."

"It means there is Li Yang's biological lock on this machine?" This is a bit strange. According to Aaron's knowledge, autonomous terminals are not easily lost property. This thing has its own IQ. If humans hadn't restricted their thinking ability

Maybe they are smarter than humans, and this thing is definitely better than humans. If the above two points cannot prevent the terminal from being stolen, then a biological lock will not change anything.

"Maybe the purpose of Mr. Li adding a biometric lock to the terminal is not to prevent theft?" Zhou Yuqing took Aaron's question.

"I think so too, so I haven't tried to crack this biological lock and directly access the terminal. I'm worried that there are similar trigger viruses or other tricks we don't know about." Lan Tian gave his own thoughts, "

Are you interested in seeing what the terminal’s reaction would be if we provided Li Yang’s biological data?”

"Use dead people?" Lan Tian's suggestion made Ling Chong feel a little uncomfortable. Ling Chong believed that he was responsible for Li Yang's death, and he felt guilty because he didn't want his body to be used as a tool after his death.

"Officer Ling, is there any other way?" Lan Tian asked nonchalantly.

"...I think I should seek the consent of my family before doing this." Ling Chong was silent for a few seconds before answering.

"I forgot to mention to you, Mr. Li no longer has any direct blood relatives who are still alive and he has no legal will, which means that legally he has no relatives with inheritance rights." Zhou Yuqing said beside him.

"In that case, okay." Ling Chong was still reluctant, but he couldn't think of any other way to open up the situation.

"The body will be here soon." After unifying the internal opinions, Lan Tian contacted the morgue on the spot to bring Li Yang's body up.

After a while, the automatic gurney that transported the body sent Li Yang's body to the laboratory. The body that had undergone forensic autopsy was pale, and the parts of the body exposed outside the sheets looked strange because the cervical vertebrae and Adam's apple were damaged.

"Start quickly, finish quickly." Ling Chong glanced at the corpse and sighed.

Lan Tian untied his restraints and activated Li Yang's terminal. The machine with the appearance of Li Yang's sister opened its eyes and scanned the room, and immediately his eyes fell on Li Yang's body.

"Is he dead?" The tone of the terminal was very close to human beings. If he hadn't known that this machine was banned from the Internet by Lan Tian, ​​it was said to be a remote control machine, Aaron Duxin.

"Yes, dead." Lan Tian stared at the terminal.

"Requesting further detailed information sharing." However, an autonomous terminal is an autonomous terminal after all, and it will not feel sad even if the owner's body is right in front of it.

"You were killed by a modified terminal stored in the store where you worked. You are now being kept as evidence under the control of the Intelligent Management Bureau. We hope to learn from you the information your master has hidden." Lan Tian

To put it bluntly, this is the best way to deal with virtual intelligence.

"Is this the terminal that killed him?" The autonomous terminal raised its hand, and the image of another terminal appeared in the AR projection.

"Yes, that's it." Lan Tian pointed at the terminal next to it, where only the head and spine were left, "Although it's now like this."

"...Meet the specified conditions, activate the preset virtual personality 5." The self-discipline terminal was silent for a few seconds, and when it spoke again, the terminal's voice changed.
