The next day, early morning.
"Pancakes, Fruits, Gaba dishes, Double Noodles, Tea Egg Bags Hey—"
The sound of car pedestrians and the hawkers of the breakfast stalls shone through the windows, the sunlight filtered through the treetops, and the colorful sprinkled on the dilapidated old wooden floor.
"..." Bu Chonghua opened his eyes, stretched his waist long, and felt empty.
"Wu Yu?" He said hoarsely, his eyes half closed, "Wu Yu?"
- No echo.
Bu Chonghua opened his eyes and sat up, looking around.
The bedroom is empty, the blankets on the bed are neatly folded, the clock on the wall shows it's 8:30 in the morning - apparently forgetting to set the phone's alarm is the result of waking up today for the first time ever. Bu Chonghua shook his head to wake himself up a little, got up and walked outside. The old walls and second-hand appliances from the 1990s were bathed in the morning light, and there was a bag of breakfast and a cup of soy milk on the table.
Bu Chonghua walked over and saw a note under the soy milk cup, which was Wu Yu's handwriting.
"I'm off to work, and the pancake fruit is for you."
"No coriander, two sausages."
Bu Chonghua laughed dumbly and murmured, "...you have a thin skin."
At ten in the morning, Nancheng Branch.
"Step Detachment!"
"Early step detachment!"
Bu Chonghua, shirt, trousers, leather shoes, nodded expressionlessly, strode through the corridor with soy milk in his hand, and rolled into the field office like the wind: "Where's Wu Yuren?"
"Oh step detachment!" Zhang Xiaoyu, who was by the door, took a mouthful of chocolate and got up in a hurry: "Director Wang called Xiao Angkor to the physical evidence room to help. Do you have anything to do with him?"
"Tell Wu Yu to come in and find me later." Bu Chonghua left a sentence without any abnormality, and without stopping, he went straight into the office of the detachment leader and closed the door with a bang.
"..." Forensic doctor Xiaogui, who was coming upstairs to buy milk tea with the criminal investigation team, watched Bu Chonghua pass by, blinked his eyes, and pounded Cai Lin and said, "That's not right, Cai Er."
Cai Lin was struggling between berry cheese or frozen top oolong, and he didn't lift his head when he heard the words: "What's wrong?"
"The facial features of your detachment today have obvious life reactions."
Cai Linbiu raised his head: "Isn't the word life reaction used for dead people?"
Forensic doctor Xiaogui said: "Hey, I understand the spirit. You see, the telangiectasis in the face and cheeks of the Bu detachment today, the accumulation of red blood cells, the contraction of the radiator muscle of the pupil, the subtle rise of the levator angle oris, the intensified low-frequency vibration of the vocal cords closed, and the possible opening of the microcirculation. and increased blood flow. From our professional point of view, this situation is somewhat similar to…”
"… similar to?"
The two looked at each other, and Xiaogui forensic doctor solemnly spit out two words: "Huaichun."
"Pfft!" Cai Lin almost didn't laugh out loud, and then immediately raised his face in the dissatisfied stare of the forensic doctor Xiaogui, and said seriously: "Let me tell you the truth, in this world, even Xu Ju can feel spring, and Sister Meng is too The second puberty can be revived, only our boss can't."
"Then what did you say he was?"
Cai Lin approached mysteriously, covered half of his mouth, and whispered, "Pregnant. Xiao Wu's."
The forensic doctor Xiaogui took Cai Lin back to his seat, took back his mobile phone, and chose a cup of frozen top oolong tea without milk and sugar for Cai Lin.
·
"Hey, daughter-in-law, did you eat in the morning? What did you eat? Did you get used to sleeping last night? What, did you dream about me at night? It must be because the hotel bed is not good. Today, we will take our own from Jianning. The bed was airlifted to Beijing, and I asked a few people to move it to the hotel to change it…”
As soon as Bu Chonghua opened the door of his office, he saw Yan Yan sitting behind the desk with her legs crossed, talking on the phone, clearing her throat heavily.
"Okay, okay, my 2B cousin is here." Yan Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bu Chonghua, and said to the phone, "Let's talk back, ha? Love you."
Yan Yan hung up the phone, and Bu Chonghua asked, "Your lover is in Beijing?"
"Yeah, isn't this the unfortunate study class of the third governor Jin and the second governor held in Beijing?"
Bu Chonghua looked at his cousin in a complicated way: "Don't tell me she's going to take the exam to be promoted..."
"What are you thinking, you are still promoted?" Yan Xun Dale: "Aren't you kidding me?"
Before Bu Chonghua could feel a hint of relief, he saw his cousin raised his chest and raised his head: "He's going to be an invigilator!"
…
This cousin is helpless, what will my aunt and uncle do in the future
"Why are you squatting in my office in the morning?" Bu Chonghua asked with a sigh.
"Inquiring about the case, and taking care of my brother's health by the way." Yan Yan seemed to be sitting in the office of the criminal investigation team leader of Jianning City Bureau, and said leisurely: "After all, you didn't go home last night, I thought it was the case. With a breakthrough, I came to the city bureau early this morning to meet Xiao Wu, only to find out that you went to his house for a 'lodging' last night, and you even had a meal at his house..."
Bu Chonghua said lightly, "What's wrong with the accommodation?"
"It's nothing, but you came an hour later than Wu Yu."
"… "
"Brother," Yan Yan said sincerely, "I always thought I was going to prepare a dowry for you. I'm sorry I was wrong. So you need a dowry."
The two brothers stood and sat across the desk and looked at each other for a long time. Bu Chonghua said slowly, "What I need is a cousin with a normal mind."
Knock knock knock!
At this time, there were two knocks on the office door, and then it was opened. Half of her head came in through the crack of the door. It was the Queen Mother who brutally broke up the couple early in the morning... Wang Jiuling, who took Wu Yu to the physical evidence room to help, sighed and asked, "Bu'er, are you free now? Yo, is your brother here too?"
Wang Ertu even dared to take the initiative to come to the door. Bu Chonghua stared at him, with a vague hint of wind and rain in his tone: "Where's Wu Yuren?"
"People? People have been kidnapped by the technical team, and are about to wash up and send them to the forensic room to be a child bride." Wang Jiuling Shi Shiran pushed open the door and entered: "Stop talking nonsense, come here - this is you crying and shouting up. The net detective who applied in person just got off the plane this morning, and I brought it here to introduce you."
Usually applying for a network investigation requires reporting layer by layer, but I didn't expect it to come so soon this time. Bu Chonghua was a little surprised, and then saw Wang Jiuling smiling and dodging, and a tall and familiar figure appeared outside the door, with a light blue shirt, silver-gray trousers, and a heavy briefcase in his hand.
Bu Chonghua and the visitor looked at each other, and the corners of his eyebrows jumped in an instant.
"The foreign aid transferred by the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Bureau, a famous network expert," Wang Jiuling patted the man on the shoulder and smiled, "Lin Fang."
Ten minutes later, the technical team office.
"Hey—you two actually know each other?!" Wang Jiuling squinted at Bu Chonghua and put her hands on her hips, as if she had suddenly discovered that a good friend had cheated on her behind her back: "You are in Jinhai all day, how did you know Expert Lin, I Why don't you know?"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Lin Fang waved his hand and smiled: "I can't be called an expert, I'm just a runner who temporarily catches ducks on the shelves. I handled a cross-border arrest case before and handed it over to the detachment, so there is a side effect. Fate, I didn't expect to meet again this time."
Bu Chonghua did not say a word.
Wang Jiuling looked at him jealously: "You kid is really full of peach blossoms?"
Liao Gang, Meng Jiao and several other detachment police officers who handled the 502 case were all in the office, and Wu Yu, who had returned from the physical evidence room, was also there, but he stayed silent in the corner. Bu Chonghua looked at him calmly. If Wu Yu felt something, he quickly raised his eyelids, and the two of them looked at each other in a flash.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Yu lowered his gaze again, looking at the ground.
At that moment, Bu Chonghua understood what he was thinking—
Neither he nor Lin Fang wanted others to know that they knew each other.
"The cases we handled before were all related to the dark web, so after the 502 case was reported to the Ministry of Public Security, Feng Ting wanted to send me to take a look, hoping to provide some clues to his peers." Lin Fang He opened the briefcase he never left, took out the computer, turned it on, and declined Wang Jiuling's intention to help him connect to the public security bureau's wireless network: "No, I'll open a hotspot myself—this computer is already configured with onion routing and I2P."
Lin Fang's computer is classified, and there is a program window on the screen when he opens it, which is filled with dense and strange URLs, which basically end with the characters clos/lo13. Director Wang pulled a chair and sat beside him, and asked curiously, "What are these?"
"A tracking program for criminal websites." Lin Fang explained, "The dark web has no search engine. If you don't know the URL, you won't know where to search the website even if you connect to onion routing. So someone developed a dark version later. Wikipedia, which contains links to various illegal websites, including dark web versions of eBay, Gumtree, Amazon, Reddit, and even dark web versions of Twitter, WhatsApp, personal blogs and gossip exchanges... These illegal websites are often used by countries around the world In order to avoid the Internet police, it is a common thing to change the suffix of the website address every three days. So I have to establish a tracking program, otherwise, it is like tracking a few specific fish in the vast ocean, and it is easy to lose. "
Director Wang nodded solemnly, with a stern expression on his face.
Bu Chonghua suddenly asked, "The dark web version of eBay you're talking about is the Mariana Trench?"
"As expected of the detachment, it is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable." Lin Fang said happily, very happy that he didn't have to waste time introducing the concept of darknet e-commerce to Muggles: "The Mariana Trench is currently one of the largest darknet e-commerce. One, look, this is it."
He clicked on a URL from the tracking program, and the next moment, the screen suddenly darkened, and two rows of red words slowly appeared in the darkness, which were the slogan of the website—
Choose Freedom over Tyranny
Shark1325
Freedom of choice, not tyranny - Website founder and administrator, Shark.
At that moment, there was silence in the office, and everyone was deeply shocked by this terrible chuanqi.
"Copy it, please ignore it." Lin Fang explained with a smile, "He just bullied Ross Ulbricht to be imprisoned in an American prison, and he couldn't come out and sue him for copyright infringement."
The website opened and disappeared after three seconds, and a home page full of various products appeared.
Although it is known as the dark version of eBay, the homepage of the Mariana Trench is actually similar to Taobao. It is full of pictures of goods uploaded by various merchants, ranging from marijuana, ecstasy, hallucinogens, adult videos, pornography, guns and even suspicious corpses. The stumps have everything, and they are all arranged in a disorderly manner, and it is dizzying to look around.
"—Wait, wait." Wang Jiuling suddenly remembered something: "Li Hongxi and Diao Jianfa often go to the dark web. Is it possible that they once advertised the sale of human skulls on the Mariana Trench?"
The police officers in the room were all refreshed: "Oh, yes!" "Good idea!" "Try searching for a keyword?"
"I'm coming!" Liao Gang was eager to try, but was stopped by Bu Chonghua: "I'm afraid not."
"Why?"
Bu Chonghua frowned and said, "Didn't you find it? This e-commerce company doesn't allow you to do on-site searches at all."
Everyone was stunned, their eyes focused on the display, sure enough.
The home page of the colorful website is full of advertisements, but neither the top nor the bottom, there is no search box at all.
"Yes, I was just about to tell you." Lin Fang regretted, "Since a year ago, the search box in the Marinaya Trench has been hidden."
— The e-commerce website actually hides the search box? So how do buyers search for the products they want, and how do they shop around to place an order
Don't darknet users care about the favorable rate and cost-effectiveness, and buy whichever one they catch based on luck
"Ah, I know I know!" Yan Yan, who seemed to understand but didn't understand, suddenly slapped his hand and responded: "It's like Xianyu removing the search box on the web version, it's a product manager's routine, in order to encourage users to download the APP!"
The air was suddenly quiet, and the corner of Lin Fang's mouth twitched slightly for a while: "... idle fish?"
Bu Chonghua: "You still use Xianyu?"
Everyone turned their attention to Yan Yan, and all of them suddenly thought: You are a rich second generation who drives an eight-digit sports car, why the hell go shopping for fish?
"Walk around," Yan Yan said honestly, "My unused clothes, shoes, belts, and small household appliances will be sent up and sold, otherwise what? Did you all throw them away? It's too wasteful?"
Everyone: "..."
"We don't have that much idle stuff," Liao Gang said sincerely, "Also, brother, next time you don't want it, you can give it to me, and promise not to waste it."
"There is no APP in the Mariana Trench," Lin Fang said with a smile. "The reason why the search box is hidden is because we used a DDoS attack a year ago—that is, millions of virtual customers bombard its homepage, especially the search engine on the site. The website got stuck in digital traffic jam. The police wanted to cut off the link between the administrator and the Mariana Trench in this way, and further capture the shark himself... We had the most sophisticated plan and the most heroic undercover, that operation It almost worked."
a year ago.
Bu Chonghua's heart moved, and he glanced at Wu Yu, only to see him standing in the shadow of the corner, his figure slightly stiff.
Liao Gang asked: "Failed to succeed in the end?"
"The shark broke out with the police, broke through the siege, and led people away." Lin Fang obviously didn't want to talk about it, "but he was severely injured, and the Mariana Trench was forced to go offline for a whole year, and it was only recently that it came back online— Since then, all darknet e-commerce companies have added verification codes and hidden the search box, mainly to avoid distributed denial of service attacks and repeat the experience of the Mariana Trench."
People who are not very familiar with him, even if he leaned closer to look, he would never find that Wu Yu's shoulders and neck were slightly stiff, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that almost invisible bony ridges protruded from his temples.
Bu Chonghua's heart seemed to be clenched fiercely by an invisible hand, and he almost couldn't control it in an instant, he stepped forward and held his hand soothingly—
A year ago, the shark had a fire with the police. Although it suffered heavy losses, it still managed to break out of the siege, making the arrest fall short.
When Wu Yu returned from undercover, Zhang Boming committed suicide by jumping off the building.
What happened in that action a year ago
"You mean other darknet e-commerce," Yan Yan asked thoughtfully at this time: "Apart from the Mariana Trench, are there other relatively large-scale e-commerce platforms?"
"Yes. AlphaBay, Dream Market, Lufthansa, Dark Web Wall Street, Silk Road Version 2, 3, 4, 0... and the latest Berlusconi, RAMP, which are all developing very rapidly."
Yan Xun was greatly taught: "It's all overseas giants competing in the international market, so is there no domestic product?"
He just asked casually, but saw Lin Fang paused and said slowly: "It really does. It ranks in the top ten in the world, and has the largest trading volume in Asia. It is called the Ancient Tea Horse Road."
Yan Yan was stunned: "Fuck, the light of domestic products!"
"Pff-cough-cough-cough! Cough-cough..." Lin Fang almost took a sip of tea, and hurriedly took out a tissue and rubbed his nose, unable to laugh or cry: "The Internet speed of the domestic product is slow. It is said that the computer room was built in the Netherlands, and it was the earliest One of the e-commerce companies that hides the search box. The earliest reason for its expansion is to support Chinese, but since the re-launch of the Mariana Trench, the light of domestic products has not been squeezed as much as before. From the traffic statistics, it is estimated that it has not been able to last for a few days. months."
"Hey, domestic products can't beat European and American departments," Director Wang was a little pity.
"It's fair to say," Lin Fang said with a smile, "but the suspects use domestic products... The possibility of using the ancient tea-horse road to publish sales information is still very high. After all, the human bone artifact is more trusted in Asia than in Europe and the United States."
"It's useless to search, isn't it?" Director Wang thought for a while: "Can you write a script for external search?"
"It can be possible, as long as the API is there, but the internet speed will be very slow." Lin Fang thought for a moment and said, "Well, I will try to write a script, using the key words of magic tools, religion, and sacrifice rituals in several places. Search on a big e-commerce platform. But the time is not guaranteed. If you are unlucky, the search process may take several hours, can you?”
Director Wang was overjoyed: "Write, write, you can write. Anyway, this case has been dragging on for so long. Don't rush this effort, isn't it old?"
Bu Chonghua was noncommittal and acquiesced.
The concepts of dark web, deep web, and onion routing are not widely understood in China. Many people still don't know that their mailboxes and chat software are actually deep webs. And in order to gain attention, the deranged tabloids cut out the copy entrance in the game video and the dismemberment scene in the horror movie, falsely claiming to be "dark web exploration", and even created the dark web divided into 18 layers of hell. In reality, urban legends such as being assassinated by hackers cast a grotesque veil on anonymous network technology.
In fact, the dark web is not so strange and terrifying, and it is not magical, but the anonymous technology it transfers through layers does create countless difficult problems for the police in various countries. Due to the fact that the domestic development in this area is half a step behind, there are not many cases related to the dark web so far, and the detection is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
An office worker can only go out to eat first, hoping that with the effort of soaking in instant noodles, the network investigation experts will be able to create miracles from the vast sea.
Wu Yu deliberately avoided Liao Gang, who greeted everyone to eat the grill. He didn't say hello to anyone. He walked through the corridor along the wall with his head down, walked into the pantry, and casually found Bao Laotan Pickled Cabbage Noodles and cooked them with an electric kettle. Tap on the water bubble.
A group of people went out to eat together in a lively manner, their footsteps gradually drifted away, and they returned to quiet.
They should have all gone downstairs.
When a person's mind is chaotic to a certain extent, there are so many threads that it is hard to describe, but no idea can be captured, only various complex tastes spread from the throat to the base of the tongue. Wu Yu put one hand in his trouser pocket and pressed the other hand on the instant noodle bowl, feeling that the palm of his hand was slightly warmed by the steam.
He stirred the instant noodles with a disposable fork, ate two random bites, and just turned around with the noodle bowl in hand, he suddenly froze in place—
A heavy figure stood in the doorway of the pantry, it was Bu Chonghua!
"You deliberately avoided me this morning?" Bu Chonghua asked softly.
"..." Wu Yu's throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't utter a word. After a long time, he said hoarsely, "No."
"-No?"
During the lunch break, the corridor outside was empty, and no one was seen. Bu Chonghua leaned forward, Wu Yu stepped back, but there was no extra space in the small tea room, and the next moment the two were facing each other.
The knuckles of Wu Yu's fingers holding the noodle bowl were slightly pale, and Bu Chonghua grabbed his hand, looked into his eyes and asked in a low voice, "We are like this now, what exactly are you thinking, can you tell me directly?"
