The consultant drank tomato juice and began his narration calmly: "DeWitt, I'll call you DeWitt. You always change your name anyway, right?" He sighed deeply: "The worst person to hide his identity is The method is to fabricate it out of thin air. Because you are using a forged document, all you have is a name. There is nothing behind this name and it cannot withstand scrutiny.
It would be much better if you use an identity like Mike Byron. He is a flesh-and-blood person. As you can find, he has a family, his own life and studies. You can even learn from that information. To speculate on his character. "
"Huh... clumsy? Then I ask you, consultant, have you found out my true identity?" DeWitt came back to his senses slightly and assumed the arrogant attitude he should have.
The consultant replied, "You mean Sam Hyndman?"
DeWitt didn't answer, his twitchy expression explained everything.
The consultant laughed and said: "Who do you think I am? A Chicago police officer? As long as you wipe off your fingerprints, remain silent, and use a name that does not exist, I will be helpless? Haha... Then let's talk about your so-called true identity. , Sam Hyndman dropped out of school at the age of fifteen and started a career as a professional thief on the streets of Detroit. From the simplest gambling scam to later stealing art, forging bonds, etc., his courage and appetite have increased over the years, and overall You are also very shrewd in your speech, but you have a shortcoming, that is, you are extravagant. So far, you have done transactions ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, but you have almost no savings. Once the money is almost used, you have to Commit another crime."
"That's enough! You found out my identity, so what? What is your purpose? Why did you kill Mr. Lucchese?" DeWitt said.
"Ha... don't worry, wasn't that what I was saying..." the consultant said, "I have two purposes. One is to test.
In recent years, with the development of business, the number of clients has increased, and I am quite overwhelmed by myself, so I try to find a high-IQ criminal to be my assistant. I have also tested some people before you, but they were not ideal. Of course, you also disappointed me very much.
Let me start from the beginning. As early as four months ago, I locked onto you and investigated you thoroughly. When it was almost time for you to find a target, I started my plan. The first step is to give you an opportunity. This opportunity must be tempting enough to make you dare to take risks and commit a major case. So, one day when you turned on your computer and hacked into the empire's database to wander around, I secretly did some tricks to help you open a channel, guide you to find the relevant information about Net Alloy, and successfully stole the data. "
"There is such a thing..." DeWitt exclaimed in surprise. Whether he was a liar or a hacker, his self-esteem was severely hit.
The consultant snorted coldly: "Hmph... 'Science is the trend that should be in the 22nd century', isn't it?"
DeWitt said: "How do you know this sentence?"
The consultant said: "Of course I heard it."
"You bugged Lucchese's office?!"
"No, I put a bug on you."
"Impossible!" DeWitt said firmly.
The consultant said: "Oh? You are so sure because you think the bug can only be installed outside the body, right?"
DeWitt's expression looked like he had swallowed a fly this time.
The consultant smiled: "Remember the hot dogs you had to eat every day when you first came to this city?"
DeWitt was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The consultant was minding his own business and continued: "The owner of the hot dog stand took my money, and every time you went there, he would add a special ingredient to you. Of course, he didn't know what it was, and thought it was just a few ingredients. It was just some kind of prank on my part to drop ordinary sauce, but actually there were nano-scale robots hidden in the sauce.
This is the top military technology of the current empire. High-precision micromachines that can be disassembled and assembled. Gastric acid cannot corrode, and teeth cannot be broken. There may be a dozen nanorobots in a drop of sauce. If you combine thousands of these Things that are invisible to the naked eye are put together, and their final volume is larger than a finger. Naturally, you will not swallow such a hard foreign object. But if you divide it into dozens of times and swallow it, you will have no idea. So those ultra-micro machines are adsorbed on the wall of your stomach, and when the number reaches the target, they are spliced together, and the eavesdropper is completed. "
DeWitt unconsciously touched his stomach: "You madman..."
The consultant said: "It's okay, let's continue talking... Before the bug was installed, it was not difficult to track your movements. You could check information on the computer or book a flight, but nothing could escape my eyes. So when you When I was still researching the technology of pure alloys at my residence in Miami, and had roughly the intention of coming to Chicago to cooperate with the Mafia, I had already arrived here before you, selected a Chinese student from a nearby university, and brought a student from the University of Illinois to In the database, Mike Byron's photo was altered, but other information was left intact, so that I had a semblance of an authentic identity.
Immediately afterwards, I caused some trouble for the Lucchese family, and by a very 'accidental' opportunity, I made a fairly pleasant business with Sonny Lucchese, which was considered to be a relationship with the local Mafia family. touch. Later, he came to see me several times, and I played my role well and did some things for him.
Not long after, at the end of January, you came to Chicago. At that time, I happened to receive a rather troublesome consulting business. It took a lot of planning, but unfortunately, the customer later messed up the plan. , causing a professional killer organization introduced by me to lose a lot of people in Venice. Later, they wrote a rather fierce email to threaten me.
In short, I was very busy during that time and had no time to spare, so I thought of using this time to install a 24-hour listening device for you. After more than twenty days, the matter was completed, and I got away from the work there and took on another deal, a local deal in Chicago.
By mid-February, as I suspected, you found the Lucchese family instead of Genovese. But I didn't expect to have direct face-to-face contact with you. At first, I thought it would be enough to be a bystander and have some connections with the mafia. But as fate would have it, that stupid Sonny wanted me, a student, to come. Act as a shield, so I can observe your performance up close. "
The consultant paused and took another sip of tomato juice: "When you opened your mouth and pretended to be a consultant without any scruples, I was a little surprised and a little happy at the same time. It was not that you were complacent about being imitated, I just felt that your This approach is very bold and has certain practical effects. I even doubt whether it is possible for you to discover my identity by your own ability, so I immediately gave you a flaw about Mike Byron's identity. It's a pity. , you didn’t notice at all.”
DeWitt could no longer remember the conversation in the Internet cafe that day. He just said: "We only spoke a few words that day. If you have any flaws, I will notice it."
The consultant said: "Really? Something like 'there was even a group of people at my previous university who established a fan club for him'."
It took two seconds for DeWitt to react after hearing this: "'Previous'!"
The consultant said: "English is your mother tongue, but when I said 'previous university', you didn't react at all. A third-year student at school used this word, but you didn't dig into it, so I gave up." hint."
