"Could it be underground?" The old detective's intuition immediately led Ling Chong to come up with this possible answer.

"Yes, sewer." Aaron nodded, "These four people don't seem to be related, but in fact they are somewhat related. The most convenient way to smuggle materials in large quantities between the outside and the ninth district is underground, then

What is Ms. Peng Ling of the city hall in charge of?"

"Construction and maintenance of underground pipelines." Zhou Yuqing accepted his words with dignity.

"When there were also missing chips and military parts, although we figured out the criminal methods, we still didn't understand how the prisoners transported the things out without anyone noticing. There was no record in the transportation system." Aaron added.

"The chip factory is underground, and the parts warehouse is also underground. If the criminal escapes through underground pipes, it will naturally not be recorded by the above-ground transportation system!" Ling Chong slapped his forehead.

"It seems that the criminal this time is a real rat." Aaron told a cold joke that was not funny.

"No wonder Peng Ling became a target. The pipeline network in the city beneath our feet has been a super maze that has been repaired for more than a hundred years. If we don't get the map saved by the municipal department, even if the murderer is a mouse, he will be trapped and die." Zhou Yuqing

Sighing, "But just now the Public Relations Department told me that nothing was found on her, and she herself said that she did not encounter any abnormalities."

"Peng Ling's face was the first one to be sculpted. Li Yang's avatar said that this face was completed three months ago. Could it be that her own memory has been confused and cannot be found out?" Ling Chong asked.

Imagine.

"Even if this is the case, there is nothing we can do. We have nothing to do with Peng Ling, and she is a regular official of the municipal department. We cannot deal with her casually like we did with Jin Yuchang." Zhou Yuqing frowned.

"...How about giving this conclusion directly to the Ministry of Emergency Situations?" Aaron gave this suggestion out of the blue.

"Ah?" Ling Chong immediately looked at him with a look of "Aren't you crazy?"

"No, this is also a way." Zhou Yuqing immediately understood the connotation of Aaron's proposal, "We do not have high authority and cannot interrogate witnesses at will, but the Ministry of Emergency Situations has this power. As long as we write down the conclusion and submit it

Those people in the report will definitely take Peng Ling back to investigate, and they will do whatever it takes."

"The problem is that what is found may not be fed back to us. If someone finds out and doesn't notify us at all and directly takes action on their own, wouldn't it be in vain for you to help us fight for the power of independent investigation?" Ling Chong knew.

What he was afraid of was the unscrupulousness of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the unscrupulousness of these people.

"Officer Ling, don't worry. I have a few acquaintances in the Emergency Department. It's not difficult to ask them to help spread the news. The real difficulty is whether we and the Emergency Department can make the right decision before they get the same information."

Judgment and action." Of course, a stable person like Zhou Yuqing will not speak casually, she has her own way.

"An acquaintance in the emergency department? You have such a wide social circle." Ling Chong looked at Zhou Yuqing with a look that was...should I say he was impressed? It was similar to the expression he had yesterday when he saw Zhou Yuqing destroying the mechanical dog.

"There are always some benefits to doing public relations." Zhou Yuqing smiled brightly, "Anyway, I am confident that I can get the news out of the Emergency Department, but I don't know if you two are willing to believe me."

"If it weren't for Ms. Zhou's interference, we would have kicked this case out a long time ago. If you don't believe me, who would you believe?" Aaron expressed his support immediately. It was originally his idea.

"I personally think there is no problem and we can give it a try, but shouldn't the supervisor be the first person to ask for instructions on this matter?" Ling Chong looked a little hesitant, but he was still inclined to agree.

"No need to bother, I approved it." As soon as Ling Chong finished speaking, Lan Tian's voice suddenly came from the service terminal passing by a few people.

"?!" Aaron and Ling Chong were both startled and looked at the terminal in astonishment.

"Do you need anything?" The terminal blinked innocently and asked the two of them, as if what they just heard was an illusion.

"What, what's going on?" Aaron hurriedly asked Zhou Yuqing, who looked as stable as a rock.

"The internal system of this building was redesigned and renovated by the supervisor two years ago. To a certain extent, she is the round-the-clock administrator of this building. If you want to say bad things about her, it is best not to say it in this building.

, she will most likely hear it when she is not concentrating on something." Zhou Yuqing seemed to have been used to Lan Tian's elusiveness for a long time, and smiled bitterly at Aaron.

"Uh..." Aaron opened his mouth to say something but suddenly shut up.

Technical lunatics are so scary!

There was an awkward silence for a while, and Zhou Yuqing abruptly brought the topic back to the case itself. Since Lan Tian expressed his approval and everyone else agreed, Ling Chong had no reason to object anymore, although he felt a little wrong in his heart.

Ms. Peng, who has never been masked before, no matter who you are, there is no human rights argument when you are arrested and interrogated by the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The outcome of the matter was exactly as expected. On the night when the special investigation team handed over the investigation report, the Public Relations Department, which helped track Peng Ling, reported that Peng Ling was secretly arrested by the Ministry of Emergency Situations and was arrested early the next morning.

Released.

"After all, it is the Emergency Situation Department, decisive and agile." As the most powerful department in the federal government with the greatest authority during non-war times, the Emergency Situation Department is overbearing at least, but it is definitely efficient in doing things. Maybe they also know that this is the value of their existence because they are not popular.

.

"I bet a hundred bucks that they used a brain scanner, otherwise how could they have released him overnight?" Ling Chong was paying attention to the emergency department's methods of obtaining information.

"A brain scanner was indeed used. Ms. Peng has been confirmed to be just a victim who was taken advantage of. She did not explain the matter clearly because it took too long and her memory was confused. The emergency department had to take last resort measures."

Zhou Yuqing, who obtained information from an "acquaintance" in the Emergency Situation Ministry, said calmly.

"Hmph, those guys will scan anyone's head if they don't like them. They even have to find out what color underwear they like to wear when sleeping at night." Ling Chong snorted from the side, seeming to be aroused by something unpleasant.

Good memories.

"Have Officer Ling suffered losses at their hands?" Lan Tian added curiously.

"Ah, I was pinned down on a chair and forced to have my brain scanned once because of something. Has the supervisor ever tried to pull out everything in the brain and hang it out to dry while the supervisor was conscious?" Although he was not angry, Ling Zhencheng said

To be honest, that's quite generous.

"At least we are the beneficiaries this time." Seeing Ling Chong's unkind expression, Zhou Yuqing quickly changed the topic, "The Emergency Situation Department compared Ms. Peng's original memory with the municipal department's surveillance video and discovered the murderer's actions, just like other related persons.

The method was also to use a terminal to disguise himself as himself to steal information. The specific time of the crime was seventy-five days ago. The murderer got into the Construction Bureau database and copied the city's underground pipe network map. He never used Peng Ling's face again after that."

"You don't know what to do." Aaron's brows knitted into a knot.

Different from the situations in Xingming and Jin Yuchang where the physical objects needed to be transported out, in Peng Ling's case, as long as the information was obtained, the theft was successful. The murderer has been proven to have strong hacking capabilities, and the underground pipe network map does not need to be disconnected to save it.

For important secrets, it would not be difficult to directly invade the municipal agency's server and steal the database information. However, he went around in a big circle and used a method of copying in reality to obtain the information he wanted. It is possible that he had deeper considerations.

Is it a rehearsal for other subsequent crimes? Are you worried about leaving traces of network intrusion and act cautiously? Or is there some reason that Aaron can't think of yet?

"The Ministry of Emergency Situations has determined that the threat may come from the underground pipe network system, so this morning it deployed a large number of reconnaissance drones to inspect the city's underground pipe network. However, considering the scale of the underground network, it is difficult to fully

It will take time to find out." Aaron was lost in thought, while Zhou Yuqing was still explaining the information she got from an "acquaintance".

"It doesn't matter what the Ministry of Emergency Situations does. What we should do is figure out the whole story before they physically eliminate the murderer, and ensure that there are no sequelae of this case." Lan Tian tapped the table with his finger on the terminal emphatically.

"The problem is that if we collide with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, we with relatively low authority will have to follow behind and suffer the whole process." Ling Chong's prejudice against the Ministry of Emergency Situations is not a unilateral problem on his part. All government departments do not

I love working with this incredibly powerful organization.
