Chapter 25 Lost and Found
"Dang Dang Dang." Ling Chong stood in the corridor and knocked on the door a few times.
No response.
"There's no one inside." Lan Tian used the echo positioning device on the terminal to check the situation inside the room. "Could that guy just be fooling us?"
"No, maybe he just left temporarily because of something. Let's wait." Ling Chong was quite confident in Li Zhengmin, and he leaned against the wall and began to close his eyes and meditate.
Facts have proved that Ling Chong's guess was correct. After waiting for about twenty minutes, the two of them saw a short and slightly fat officer walking towards them in vain. When the man noticed that there were two unknown people at the door of his office.
While the guy was waiting, there was obvious panic and fear on his face.
"Lieutenant Jin, don't be nervous, we just want to chat." Ling Chong opened his eyes and walked forward with a smile.
"...Who are you? How did you get in?" The harmless appearance of the terminal had a very good soothing effect. If Ling Chong himself was standing in front of him and talking to Jin Yuchang, the other party's reaction might be completely different.
"I'm a police officer and she's a management officer. Of course I walked in in a dignified manner." Ling Chong joked, which was not funny. "As for why the two of us came to find you, it seems that you already know it in your mind."
"I don't know what you are talking about, and I have nothing to say to you!" Jin Yuchang became more and more nervous after learning the identities of the two. Suddenly he realized that this was a military-controlled area and the police had no law enforcement power, so his tone became tougher.
"Yes, you can say nothing. We can't do anything to you here, but just because I can't do anything to you doesn't mean that no one can touch you. If I guessed correctly, you can still be safe now.
The only reason why you sit peacefully in this office is because the higher-ups don’t know what you did.
What happened, and notifying your superiors of this matter is just a phone call away for us. Believe me, the treatment conditions in military prisons are much worse than those in government prisons. I have been to both places.
Pass." Ling Chong said as he sidestepped Jin Yuchang, who was about to reach out and push him away.
Jin Yuchang's hand that was about to push open the door stopped in mid-air as if frozen, his expression became as stiff as ice, and his two eyes kept wandering between the ground and the door as if they had nowhere to rest.
Finally his arms dropped limply.
"Are you willing to talk?" Ling Chong said with a smile.
"Let's talk in another place." Jin Yuchang nodded, turned around and walked towards the elevator.
The large basement that the two of them followed Jin Yuchang came to seemed to be a parts storage room. Lan Tian found that almost all the spare parts stacked here were spare parts for the autonomous armed platform. If they were assembled, they could probably arm thousands of war machines at once.
"Is this where the things were lost?" Jin Yuchang would not have brought them to a place like this without a reason, and Lan Tian immediately guessed the reason.
"Yes, but I definitely didn't do it. I know it looks like I did it, but it really has nothing to do with me!" Jin Yuchang was a little incoherent, and his words were full of grievances.
"I know that someone used some method to pretend to be you." Ling Chong comforted him, "We found out that someone restored your face on a terminal through illegal means. This is why we came here."
"Have you caught that person?!" Jin Yuchang asked with a hint of hope in his eyes and a hint of excitement in his tone.
"We came to you just to catch him," Ling Chong shook his head. "The parts you lost here were used by him to kill people and attack the police."
The newly raised hope immediately turned into despair. Jin Yuchang knew very well that if the responsibility was placed on him, ten years in prison would be considered a light punishment.
"Fortunately, there has never been any good relationship between the military and the police. The military has nothing to do and doesn't want to lose face. As long as we don't pursue the case, the rest depends on whether you can hide the matter. If it was not intentional,
I don't want to watch a young man with a bright future go to jail just because I said a few words." Ling Chong took the opportunity to seduce him.
"...How can I help you?" Although Jin Yuchang was scared, he was not stupid. He immediately understood what Ling Chong meant and chose to give in.
"Simple, give us all the evidence when the thing was stolen. Although you may have eliminated the public evidence, I believe you must have secretly kept one just in case. Am I right?
"Ling Chong asked with a smile.
"You police officers are really powerful." Jin Yuchang sighed sincerely, "I have backed up the evidence just in case, so I will pass it on to you."
The evidence left by Jin Yuchang mainly consists of entry and exit records and surveillance videos, both of which clearly point to Jin Yuchang himself entering the warehouse, taking the corresponding parts and loading them onto the cargo drone, but the strange thing is that there was no evidence after that.
Any camera recorded the prisoner and the lost cargo, and it seemed that there was definitely more than one set of parts loaded onto the drone.
"Exactly how many things were lost?" Lan Tian frowned and checked the evidence, then raised his head to ask Jin Yuchang.
"Twenty sets of 'Manticore', twenty sets of 'Grenadiers', twenty sets of 'Night Owl', all were spare parts. Fortunately, I only lost spare parts, otherwise I would have been discovered long ago.
"Jin Yuchang didn't dare to look at the two of them, because he knew very well how destructive the things he mentioned would be if used improperly.
"If these devices were all used to launch the same terrorist attack, it would definitely be no less bad than the Isfahan incident eight years ago." The Manticore is a ground reconnaissance platform, the Grenadier is a street fighting demolition platform, and the Night Owl is
Armed hover attack aircraft, the above three are all high-intensity autonomous weapons designed to be used only in war situations. Ling Chong simply did not dare to imagine what would happen if these gadgets fell into the hands of criminals.
"Don't forget that we also lost a hundred smart chips. It seems that someone is planning to put these things together and turn them into a private army." Lan Tian subconsciously reached out and rubbed his temples, although letting the terminal do this would not help at all.
Her head hurts.
"I've said everything that needs to be said, and I've given what needs to be given. You won't deny it afterwards, right?" The one who is most panicked is Jin Yuchang, who is half a party involved. In fact, he also knows that this matter is too big and too big.
It's hard to hide it, but even so, I can't help but have expectations in my heart.
"If conditions permit, I will try to help you fool through it, but if the higher ups insist on making things clear, we can't help you hide it knowing that it will get you burned." Ling Chong sighed helplessly, "Not to mention you.
I didn’t tell you that I had lost so many things. You were the one who deceived me first, right?"
"You guys, you promised me..." Jin Yuchang felt aggrieved, but he also knew that Ling Zhenchen had no obligation to help him hide everything.
"We will try to prove that the loss of these parts has nothing to do with you, but if things get serious, the military will definitely find a scapegoat, and you, the person directly responsible, are the best person. When that time comes, I suggest you apply to the district court immediately
Help, if the trial falls in the local court, the sentencing will be much lighter than in the military court." Feeling that this unlucky guy who had suffered an unreasonable disaster was really pitiful, Ling Chong tried his best to give his own suggestions.
"...I know, I will think about it." Jin Yuchang, who was extremely depressed, replied dully, "If there is nothing else, please come back. Staying in contact with you for too long will definitely attract people.
Notice."
"Don't worry, your duty officer is a smart man. He will pretend not to see anything during today's meeting." Ling Chong patted Jin Yuchang's shoulder comfortingly, "But you are right, we will leave now.
, please leave me a contact information so that I don’t have to come to your door like today when I look for you in the future. If you need any help, you can contact me at any time.”
"Okay, this is my ID." After thinking about it, Jin Yuchang agreed to Ling Chong's request. Although he knew very well that the policeman was mostly using him, for Jin Yuchang, who was at the end of his rope, the only person he could count on was already there.
there is none left.
