Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 682
Chapter 682: Found It!
Tang Yan immediately reported this matter and requested for another assistant who was capable in dealing with cyber cases to help solve the case.
This was tantamount to slapping Officer Gao in the face, because Tang Yan had never used this so-called capable person before. What he needed was someone who could actually do something.
“Leave the task of cracking the secret behind the forum to the internet police. What we need to do now is do our best to find out where the computers of the eight victims are currently hidden. Since we’ve seen Luo Mingxuan at the previous computer repair shop, we’ll retrieve the surrounding surveillance cameras.”
“The traffic control department is analyzing it. They’ll give us an answer later.”
..
Tang Yan completed a series of arrangements and went to the chief’s office to report. After listening to the entire case update, he felt especially shocked. “My children also love to surf the Internet, but I didn’t expect such vulnerable groups to actually be the targets of cybercriminals. Children are so easily exposed to the danger. Tang Yan, we must find the reason why the children committed suicide as soon as possible.”
“I know, Chief.”
It seemed like the people behind The Dark Abyss did not expect Tang Yan and his men to investigate to this extent, so they had shut down the forum.
Despite that, Tang Yan wasn’t expecting the mastermind behind the forum to be afraid. He felt that they had just gone into hiding because they didn’t think that Tang Yan could catch them. Even if he did, those eight youngsters had committed suicide. They didn’t have to pay the price for these children’s choices…
Oh, how wrong they were.
Tang Yan knew that he didn’t understand the Internet, so he had already entrusted the Internet police with full authority to investigate.
What he needed to do now was find the most crucial piece of evidence, the computers!
Soon, the Traffic Control Department tracked down Luo Mingxuan’s movements from all the nearby intersections. It wasn’t difficult to see from the surveillance cameras that he carried his computer and rushed from one repair shop to another.
In fact, Tang Yan and the others had been to that shop before. It was just that the staff responsible for Luo Mingxuan happened to be on vacation at the time, so they missed the questioning from Tang Yan and the others.
A few minutes later, Luo Mingxuan came out again.
However, after taking a few steps, the phone in his pocket rang. After he saw the caller ID, he immediately knelt on the ground and answered the call. A minute later, he hung up the phone, held his computer again, and disappeared from the surveillance range.
“This kid probably went into the blind spot of the surveillance camera, so that there’s no surveillance record. Not long after, he committed suicide,” the person from the Traffic Control Department explained to Tang Yan.
Mu Qiqi followed behind Tang Yan and carefully observed the entire process of Luo Mingxuan entering and leaving the two shops.
He looked flustered and constantly looked around. It was obvious that he was afraid of being followed.
The owner of the repair shop did say that Luo Mingxuan had been in a hurry that day, and that the screen on the computer was dark red and flashed non-stop.
“Captain Tang, it’s obvious that Luo Mingxuan received a death warning that day. That’s why he was so nervous and scared. A normal person would usually run and hide. However, his reaction was to repair the computer!”
“That computer is like a reminder of what’s coming.” Feng Shanshan took a deep breath.
“Right now, we can only simulate the route. There are four roads from the second repair shop to the crime scene. Now, we’ll split into four groups and look for clues separately.”
“There’s no need…” Mu Qiqi had been staring at the screen the whole time. After listening to Tang Yan’s arrangements, she suddenly pointed at the screen and said to everyone, “Look at the computer in Luo Mingxuan’s hand. When he left the first shop, it was silver-gray in color, but when he came out of the second shop, it turned silver-white.”
Everyone took a closer look and saw this detail for themselves.
“Let’s go…”
Tang Yan immediately led everyone to the second computer repair shop. After looking at the surveillance footage, the owner of the repair shop immediately called the employees who were on duty that day.
Then, he brought Tang Yan and the others to their warehouse. “My employee said that when Luo Mingxuan looked for him that day, he was fixing a broken laptop. After Luo Mingxuan left, he put the broken laptop in the warehouse and was preparing to return it to the factory for repair,” the boss explained as he looked at the numbers on the shelf.
And his eyes locked on the computer..
Tang Yan and the others looked at it. It was silver-gray!
“I found it!”
“The two laptops are similar in color and size. Maybe Luo Mingxuan was too impatient. Plus, men are naturally not sensitive to colors, so it’s possible that he took the wrong one,” Mu Qiqi analyzed. “Regardless, our hope lies on this single item.”
The boss handed over the computer, and Tang Yan and the others finally got physical evidence. However, because their phones had been switched off, they brought it back to the sub-bureau, intending for the technical team to analyze it.
With hope, everyone sat in the sub-bureau and waited for the results.
The technical team turned on the computer and called Tang Yan. “Captain Tang…”
Tang Yan immediately walked over and saw a large blood-red text on the computer screen: ‘Warning! We have locked onto your uncle. Your debt will be repaid by your uncle!’
‘Warning! We have locked onto your uncle’s daughter. Soon, she will be implicated by you and die an unnatural death!’
‘Warning…’
After seeing these shocking things, Tang Yan told the technical team, “Crack the code behind Luo Mingxuan’s computer immediately. I want to know the entire process from the moment Luo Mingxuan entered the forum to the moment he endured the threat.”
“Perhaps Luo Mingxuan chose to die under this kind of coercion,” Feng Shanshan said, though reluctantly. “Seize a person’s weakness and break their heart. No wonder Old Cheng was asked to fill in detailed information when he first accepted the loan, even about his family and friends.”
“It’s too scary…” Senior Long couldn’t help sighing. “If these things were to appear on my computer at any time, my hair would stand on end. This is too much. The thing I’m most afraid of implicating my family.”
“Luo Mingxuan was raised by his uncle. No wonder he was so flustered.”
Every time there was a murder, everyone would put in their full effort to investigate the truth. However, when they were really close to the truth, they would find it hard to accept it.
“Captain Tang, we found a special remote control software on Luo Mingxuan’s computer. This should be a sub-software belonging to The Dark Abyss. It’s different from ordinary remote control softwares. Thanks to this, Luo Mingxuan’s computer has almost been wiped clean. Therefore, it might be difficult for us to find anything of value,” the technical team said.
“In other words, this computer is useless?”
“Let’s try to find the IP of the main control computer through the remote.”
“Then, find out if there are any hidden encrypted files on Luo Mingxuan’s computer.”
