Chapter 1757 Driving Track

Li Cheng sighed: "We have mastered the activity tracks of some suspicious vehicles, but it is difficult to convict them because there are no clear images and direct evidence. According to our analysis of several similar cases, this gang usually suppresses the target through the periphery to force the other party to compromise, but they have always been cunning, and almost all the traces left have been processed."

Qin Yuan was silent for a moment, and then said coldly: "Since they are so cautious, we have to be more proactive. Captain Li, I need your cooperation. We can't wait for them to take action this time."

Li Cheng seemed to be infected by Qin Yuan's decisive attitude, nodded and said: "Tell me about your plan, I will fully cooperate here."

After Qin Yuan hung up the phone, he immediately took action. He contacted the technical team and conducted an in-depth analysis of the parking lot and surrounding areas through the surveillance video of the sabotage incident provided by Zhou Hong's company. Soon, he found an important clue-a van had been wandering near Zhou Hong's company many times, and the license plate number was partially blocked, but a few digits could still be seen clearly.

Qin Yuan submitted the license plate number to the police and asked them to retrieve the registration information of the vehicle. At the same time, he contacted Duan Jinglin remotely and asked the technical expert to help analyze the source of the anonymous emails sent by the other party.

Duan Jinglin's voice came through the headset: "Instructor, these emails are indeed sent through encrypted virtual servers, and the sender tried to cover the traces. However..." His tone was slightly excited, "The other party's technology is not advanced enough. I found the jump node of one of the servers, and the positioning shows that it is an abandoned factory building in the suburbs of Tianhui City."

Qin Yuan's eyes lit up: "The suburbs of Tianhui City? Very good, this may be their hiding place. Can you confirm more details?"

"No more for the time being, but the power consumption of this factory building has been very abnormal recently, and someone should be active in it. Instructor, you'd better investigate as soon as possible."

After Qin Yuan hung up the phone, he immediately fed back this clue to Li Cheng. The two quickly agreed: The police are responsible for the outer blockade, and Qin Yuan takes his team members to sneak into the factory to confirm the specific situation.

That night, the abandoned factory building in the suburbs of Tianhui City was shrouded in a quiet darkness, with only faint moonlight shining on the dilapidated building. Qin Yuan sneaked in quietly with Zhang Chu and another team member. They were fully armed and moved lightly and quickly.

"Instructor, there is light in the factory." Zhang Chu observed with night vision goggles and whispered.

Qin Yuan nodded and raised his hand to signal the team members to keep quiet. They slowly approached the factory and peeked in through the broken window. There were several men in the room gathered around a table with several computers and a pile of documents on the table, and they seemed to be discussing something.

"It's them." Qin Yuan whispered, "Be careful, these people may have weapons."

Zhang Chu asked: "Should we act directly?"

"Wait a little longer." Qin Yuan's eyes were sharp and he lowered his voice, "First confirm their intentions and the location of the leader."

A few minutes later, a tall man with a beard came out from the inner room, obviously the leader of this group. He glanced around coldly, and then said, "Is Zhou Hong still not letting go?"

A subordinate next to him answered, "Not yet. She has been keeping a low profile recently, and her schedule has become difficult to grasp."

The leader snorted coldly, "She is stalling for time, but delaying is useless. Tell the people below to increase the threat and let her know our determination. If she doesn't cooperate, we will use more extreme means."

Qin Yuan's eyes sank, and he gestured to Zhang Chu, indicating that he was ready to act.

Just then, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside the factory. A black car stopped at the door of the factory, and a man in a suit got out of the car. He walked straight into the factory and talked to the leader in a low voice.

"Who is that?" Zhang Chu asked in a low voice.

Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "This should be the instigator behind the scenes. His contact with this group of people shows that they have a bigger plan."

"Instructor, what should we do?" Zhang Chu was a little excited.

"Hold steady first." Qin Yuan lowered his voice, "We'll take action after the police have surrounded us."

A few minutes later, Li Cheng's voice came from the headset: "The outer blockade is complete, and we can act at any time."

Qin Yuan's mouth curled slightly, and he whispered: "Action begins!"

With Qin Yuan's order, he was the first to break into the window, and the bullets accurately shattered the lights in the factory, instantly plunging the enemy into darkness. Zhang Chu and other team members followed closely and quickly suppressed the enemy.

"Police! Don't move!" Li Cheng rushed in from the main gate with a team of special police and quickly controlled the situation.

In the chaos, the man in the suit tried to escape, but was kicked to the ground by Qin Yuan. He pointed the gun coldly at the other party: "Don't move, or you can try."

The man in the suit was pale, his hands raised above his head, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat: "Don't shoot! I surrender!"

The battle in the factory ended in less than five minutes, and all the suspects were controlled. Li Cheng patted Qin Yuan's shoulder with satisfaction: "Well done, now we finally have a clue."

Qin Yuan looked at the handcuffed man in a suit with a cold look, and said coldly: "Now, you should tell me who is behind you."

In the factory, the lights came on again, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. The man in a suit was handcuffed to a worn-out chair, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was pale, and his eyes were a little flustered.

Qin Yuan stood in front of him, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes as sharp as a knife, and said coldly: "Last chance, tell the truth. Who is your employer?"

The man in the suit swallowed his saliva, his voice dry: "I... I really don't know who it is! I took the order through the dark web. The employer did not show up, but only contacted through encrypted communication. We just used money to do business, but really didn't Know his identity! ”

"Dark Web?" Qin Yuan frowned slightly, and a dangerous low voice in his tone, "How do you contact me specifically?"

The man in the suit quickly said, "The task was released through a trading platform. The employer paid in virtual currency, and all communications were completed by anonymous email. Every time the task was completed, we would receive compensation at the designated location. We have never met the employer himself. .”

Qin Yuan's eyes became even colder, and his voice was like a low hammer hitting: "Since you don't know who the employer is, why are you targeting Zhou Hong? There is always a reason, right?"

The man in the suit hurriedly explained: "They asked for names to deal with Zhou Hong, saying that her company was blocking their way. We just took the money and really don't know the specific reason!"

Qin Yuan stared at him for a few seconds, with scrutiny and threat in his eyes. Then, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked to Li Cheng, and whispered: "What this person should say is true. He is just the executor, and the person behind the scenes is still not exposed."

Li Cheng nodded, and his tone also showed helplessness: "The anonymity of the dark web is too strong, and it is difficult to track down the source of this kind of transaction. Even if we catch these thugs, it is very difficult to find an employer."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment, his eyes were quiet: "Since they used the dark web to trade, the employer must have left some information. No matter how secret the dark web is, there are no loopholes to follow. We need Duan Jinglin's technical support to let him track down the transaction in depth. The specific node of

Li Cheng nodded: "Okay, I will also contact the network security department to follow up on this clue."

Qin Yuan turned around and looked at the man in the suit in a cold manner: "Take him back and review it carefully. He may not have said everything, especially the details of the transaction. Dig a few more layers and you may find a breakthrough."

The man in the suit waved his hands repeatedly, his face paler: "I really said everything! Don't bother me, I'm really only responsible for carrying out the tasks!"

"Shut up." Qin Yuan's tone was like ice, and he didn't look at him again.

Late at night, Qin Yuan and Li Cheng sat in the conference room of the Tianhui Criminal Police Team, analyzing the documents and equipment seized from the factory. A set of data is displayed on the computer screen - the anonymous transaction record of the man in the suit and a part of the payment record of the virtual currency.

"These records look very hidden," Li Cheng pointed to the screen and said, "They used at least three layers of jump nodes, and the encryption level is very high. It is quite difficult to crack and find the employer's IP address."

Qin Yuan said in a deep voice: "I have contacted Duan Jinglin, and he will assist you remotely. He has a very strong ability in technical reconnaissance and may be able to find a breakthrough."

A few minutes later, Duan Jinglin joined the video conference. A complex stream of code appeared on his screen, and he typing on the keyboard, saying, "Instructor, I'm analyzing transaction records and email sources. The anonymity of the dark web is indeed high, but not completely impeccable. I need a little bit. time."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Qin Yuan nodded: "As soon as possible. If this clue is broken, we will lose the initiative."

Duan Jinglin laughed and said, "Don't worry, instructor, you know my style - there is no system that cannot be broken."

At the same time, Zhou Hong's company also fell into a trough due to this incident. Although several suspects in the factory have been controlled, the employer is still at large, which still threatens Zhou Hong's safety.

In the company office, Zhou Hong looked at Qin Yuan with complex emotions in her eyes: "Instructor Qin, is this matter impossible to be completely solved? If even these people don't know who the employer is, then will we always do it Being targeted? ”

Qin Yuan's tone was calm but firm: "No one would really hide without a trace. Although the other party was cunning, he would also make mistakes. Our mission is to find their flaws and completely eradicate the threat."

Zhou Hong pursed her lips and sighed: "I have been wondering these days whether to compromise directly and hand over what they want..."

"Absolutely not." Qin Yuan interrupted her decisively, "Once they compromise, they will only gain a lot of urgency. Now they target you because you insist on not compromising. If you let go, they are likely to swallow your company completely and turn to Next goal.”

Zhou Hong nodded, but her brows were still furious: "Then what should I do?"

"You only need one thing - follow the plan we have formulated, protect yourself and your family, and leave the rest to me and the police." Qin Yuan's tone was calm, with a convincing power in his eyes, "This one is a thing." I will give you a thorough explanation.”

Zhou Hong took a deep breath and showed a faint smile: "I believe in you, Instructor Qin."

A few hours later, Duan Jinglin received preliminary good news: "Instructor, I found a clue. In the jump node of this transaction record, some of the source addresses of virtual currencies were exposed. The funds came from a multinational company— —Xinhui Group.”

Hearing this name, Qin Yuan's eyes instantly became cold. He said in a deep voice: "It's them. This clue is enough to prove that the mastermind behind it is Xinhui Group."

Duan Jinglin continued: "However, Xinhui Group has covered it up very deeply. This transaction is only indirect and cannot be used as direct evidence."

Qin Yuan smiled coldly: "No need for direct evidence, just knowing that it is them is enough. I will force them to reveal their true colors."

After he finished speaking, he picked up his phone and called Li Cheng: "Captain Li, prepare for the second step - we have to let this big fish take the bait."

As night fell, Qin Yuan drove the car to take Zhou Hong home. The street lights on the street lengthened the shadows of the vehicles, and the hustle and bustle of the city was gradually replaced by the tranquility of the night. Zhou Hong sat in the co-pilot, looking a little tired, but seemed to feel a sense of security because of Qin Yuan's presence.

The car drove smoothly on the way home, but Qin Yuan's eyes through the rearview mirror and keenly captured a black car that was always not far away. Its headlights appeared and disappeared from time to time, keeping a distance that seemed ordinary, but the deliberately low speed and close driving trajectory made him alert.

"Mr. Zhou, sit tight and don't panic." Qin Yuan's voice was low and calm, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror, "The car behind us has been following us."

Zhou Hong's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked back, but was immediately stopped by Qin Yuan: "Don't look, let them think we didn't notice."

She suppressed her uneasiness and whispered: "What should we do? Will they attack us?"

"Not now." Qin Yuan analyzed calmly, "Their purpose should be to observe your whereabouts and determine your route home. But if we don't take action, they may find more flaws."

He focused his eyes, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and the speed of the car suddenly increased slightly. Then he pretended to slow down, turned on the turn signal, and turned into a more remote road.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Hong was a little nervous.

"Test them." Qin Yuan's tone was calm, but with a reassuring power, "If they are really following us, they will not give up easily."

Sure enough, the black car also slowed down and turned into the same road a few seconds later, keeping a similar distance.

"It's confirmed, they are the ones following us." Qin Yuan curled his lips slightly and sneered, "But they are too unprofessional, following us so obviously."

"What should we do now?" Zhou Hong clenched her hands slightly, with a bit of anxiety in her tone.
