Paranormal Incident Investigation Notes

Chapter 384 Historical Mission

Lu Ming's heart lifted slightly.

Zhao Zongshan really resigned. Just like the plan I planned before.

Does this mean that Zhao Zongshan has been manipulated by the person behind the scenes? Was it because of his manipulation that Zhao Zongshan made the decision to resign when he was faced with the dilemma of resigning or not?

So, where is the man behind the scenes now? What method did he use to complete the manipulation of Zhao Zongshan?

At this moment, more than sixty guards scattered around Zhao Zongshan, as well as a large number of hidden monitoring equipment installed everywhere, have recorded a large amount of monitoring data. This information has been uploaded to the information analysis team, and subsequent analysis is underway.

In the picture, Zhao Zongshan angrily left the rough house, got on the tram and headed home. Lu Ming took out the communicator and whispered: "Zhao Zongshan has resigned. No trace of manipulation has been found yet. No suspicious persons have been found around him."

"receive."

At this moment, Haiyuan City. Zhao Zonghai was lying on the hospital bed a little bored, playing with his mobile phone.

Next to him, the gray-haired old father was also lying on the hospital bed, with an infusion needle stuck in his arm, and a babbling opera was playing on the TV hanging on the wall.

"Xiaohai, make me a pot of tea."

Zhao Zonghai said angrily: "The doctor said to drink less tea and more water. Wait, I will get you hot water."

Zhao Zonghai pulled on his slippers and picked up the thermos to fetch water, while his old father sighed.

After feeding his father some water, Zhao Zonghai lay on the bed and continued playing with his mobile phone. After playing for a while, I felt that my phone was getting boring, so I put it down and stared at the ceiling blankly.

When will this day end...

I must have not touched that set of fishing gear for more than a month, right? Let’s find a place to fish for a while...

Also in Haiyuan City.

After cleaning up the stall, the vegetable vendor Horford slowly returned home, spread out on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and started browsing. After a while, a message appeared in the group chat.

This is a small group chat with only nine people, a small group of several fishing friends who have a good relationship with him.

"Brothers, I found a new fishing spot in Laolang River, and the fish conditions are very good. I just came back from fishing for a while, and I caught five fish in two hours."

Horford immediately perked up.

"Where?"

"At the head of Xiaoshu Village, about two miles to the west, there is a dirt bag over there, do you know? A few dozen meters south of the dirt bag, there is a bend in the Laolang River, right there. Brothers, keep it a secret. , not many people know about that fishing position now.”

"According to my judgment, the fish conditions there should be better at night. Are there any brothers who fish at night?"

“I’m so addicted to fishing during the day that I fish at night and don’t have to go to work the next day.”

"It's a crappy job. It's so hard to find a good fishing spot. I was discovered by others too late. I don't care about you, I have to go tonight anyway."

Horford struggled with the conflict for a long time, and finally sent a message: "No. 6, let's go together. I'll bring a box of cold beer."

"I still have some pig head meat at home, so I just happened to bring it with me. Tsk tsk, these days, it's great to eat small meat, drink small wine, and catch small fish. Will Lao Zhou go?"

"I can't go to see the kids off tomorrow."

"It's up to you. We've agreed, Lao Huo, to meet at the head of Xiaoshu Village at eight o'clock in the evening."

Putting down his cell phone, Horford was full of expectations for tonight's action.

All these chat data were presented to Zhang Dingshan simultaneously.

Zhang Dingshan was not sure whether Horford or the fishing friend whom Horford had become the sixth man at this moment was being manipulated by the manipulator behind the scenes. But he can be sure that if he follows his own plan, what happened today will definitely be exploited by the manipulator behind the scenes.

A few days later, on the night of November 3, Horford was most likely to ask Zhao Zonghai for night fishing again because of this fishing position.

On the other side, Wu Hong, the owner of the fishing tackle shop, had no change.

Time passes slowly. In another city, Lu Ming saw that Zhao Zongshan had returned home. He casually chatted with his wife for a few words, then turned on the TV. After a while, he took out his mobile phone again.

The call was made to Zhao Zonghai.

"Xiao Hai, how is our dad doing now?"

"It's okay, I'm fine. The doctor said I'll be discharged from the hospital in about a month and a half after recovery."

"Okay, I'll go over and stay with dad while you rest."

"Brother, are you free?"

"Why don't you have time? Lao Wang is too ink-stained and I can't stand him. I had a fight with him today and resigned."

"That guy is really a bitch, and most people can't stand him. It's okay to quit. If you have skills, you can eat anywhere. At worst, you can find another job."

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. I'll make arrangements at home tomorrow. I'll go over if it's convenient."

"Are you still talking to dad?"

"Stop talking, I'll be there tomorrow. Hang up."

Lu Ming's heart lifted slightly.

As expected, Zhao Zongshan made the decision to go to Haiyuan City to stay with his brother.

In Haiyuan City, Zhao Zonghai had already left the hospital and was packing his things at home, preparing to go back to the hospital later.

At this moment, another message came on his phone. Before he looked, He Wei, who was monitoring him, had already seen what the message was in advance.

This is a message from a group chat. The group chat was set up by Wu Hong, the owner of Big Fish Fishing Gear Store, and the group members are all customers of some fishing gear stores. Usually, news about price reductions, new product launches, etc. are communicated in group chats.

"The funds have been withdrawn to clear the inventory, and various fishing gears have been reduced in price. Brothers who are interested should come to the store to have a look."

The group chat immediately became lively, and fishing friends began to ask for details.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Zonghai took out his mobile phone and started browsing the group chat. At this glance, he saw that someone had already inquired about the price of the fishing rod he had been thinking about.

Wu Hong lowered the price of this fishing rod to 2,400, which is a full 600 reduction from the previous price. And it seems that the negotiation is not out of the question.

In the surveillance screen, He Wei clearly saw that Zhao Zonghai had hesitation on his face, and he was obviously very moved.

One fishing friend made a decision on the spot and bought one. And Zhao Zonghai knew clearly that Wu Hong's store only had two stocks of this fishing rod.

Several more fishing friends are inquiring about the details of this fishing rod and are also interested in purchasing it. Zhao Zonghai struggled for a long time, and finally made up his mind with gritted teeth and stamped his feet.

Instead of going to the hospital, he went straight to the fishing tackle store. After some conversation, I successfully bought the fishing rod I had longed for at a price of 2,350.

When he got home, he immediately started playing with it. His wife just looked at him coldly, without asking or interfering.

The two have long been financially independent, and his wife will not care how Zhao Zonghai spends money.

After fiddling with it for a long time, Zhao Zonghai reluctantly put down the fishing rod and went to the hospital.

Early the next morning, Horford returned from night fishing with a load of more than a dozen fish. He put these fish directly on his own vegetable stall for sale, and then he went home to catch up on his sleep. The wife was a little impatient at first, but when she saw the fish, she suppressed her anger.

These fish weighed thirty to forty pounds, and could be sold for a lot of money, which meant that Horford's late night stay was not in vain.

That night, Horford was busy working at his stall and did not go fishing at night. That night, Zhao Zonghai, who bought a new fishing rod, felt itchy, but looking at his old father sleeping on the hospital bed, he still suppressed his desire. Also on this night, Zhao Zongshan settled down at home, bought a ticket to Haiyuan City, and expected to arrive tomorrow morning.

Wu Hongze has completed his "historic mission" and has temporarily withdrawn from the stage.

Three key figures are converging on Haiyuan City.

Everything is going as expected.

At this moment, Lu Ming even felt like "the wheels of history are rolling forward."

At this moment, he has returned to Haiyuan City and gathered with Zhang Dingshan and He Wei. The three people came to the monitoring hall at the same time, checked their movements at the same time, and communicated in real time.

Zhao Zongshan finally arrived in Haiyuan City. After a short rest, Zhao Zongshan came to the hospital, handed over to Zhao Zonghai, and then stayed to stay with his father. Zhao Zonghai left the hospital and returned home.

From this moment on, Zhao Zongshan also completed his "historic mission" and temporarily withdrew from the stage.

The next most critical step is Horford.

Because now it seems that although Zhao Zonghai is itchy, he does not intend to go fishing tonight. Because he stayed in bed in the hospital for too long, he also needed a good rest at home.

He Wei thought for a moment and said to Zhang Dingshan: "You two are monitoring this place, which is enough. Horford is the key person now. Can I go to the scene to have a look?"

"Can."

Rather than watching the surveillance in the surveillance room, she would rather go to the scene and walk around. Maybe we can find some clues and directly uncover the manipulator behind the scenes.

He Wei left, and Zhang Dingshan called Lu Qingliang: "How is the progress of the information analysis team?"

"It is still being analyzed and there are no results yet. But preliminary results are expected to be available within two hours."

During the surveillance of Wu Hong, Zhao Zongshan, Zhao Zonghai, and Horford in the past few days, especially during the surveillance of key nodes, the guards collected a large amount of character data.

When these people make that key decision, the information analysis team will use this as a time point to check back on all the places these people have been and all the people who appear within a certain range since the surveillance began.

For example, before making a key decision, Zhao Zongshan once stopped near a small supermarket. Then, the information of all customers and people passing by this small supermarket in recent days will be included in the data analysis model for comparison.

That is to say, all people who have an intersection of time and space with this key person will be noticed.

However, the second operation team did not expect to find out the possible manipulator through this general investigation. In fact this is impossible to do.

After all, even if there is a manipulator behind the scenes, he is most likely just an ordinary person from the outside, with no special characteristics.

The second operation team is concerned about whether there is such a person who appeared around Zhao Zongshan when Zhao Zongshan made key decisions or before, and was also around these three people when Wu Hong, Zhao Zonghai, and Horford made key decisions. appeared.

As long as such a person exists, there is a high probability that he will be related to this matter. After all, under normal circumstances, the probability of a person appearing next to these people at different specific time periods is too small.

This is the overall working idea of ​​the second action team. But achieving this is not easy. Because the number of people who exist within a certain range around these key figures may be as high as one hundred thousand or even one million in the past few days. It is not easy to collect information one by one and compare it, even if there is a professional information analysis team using professional information tools.

For example, if Zhao Zongshan passes by a street while riding a tram, all the people on the street will be included in the analysis. A busy street may have tens of thousands of people. Another example is passing by a large vegetable market. There will be thousands of people in the vegetable market.

At this moment, things have reached the final stage. Accordingly, the analysis work of the information analysis team is about to come to an end.

Whether such a person exists or not should be revealed soon.

At this moment, Horford made arrangements for the stall and returned home.

"According to the planning plan, if we want to achieve the ending where Zhao Zonghai slips and falls into the water and drowns tonight, Horford should make a date with him now."

This is the most critical node.

Lu Ming frowned slightly and stared closely at Horford, who was sitting on the sofa at home.

He played with his phone for a while, thought about it, and dialed Zhao Zonghai's number directly under the watchful eyes of Lu Ming and Zhang Dingshan.

"Huh? Call Zhao Zonghai directly? Is it a date for a night fishing? This Horford didn't date anyone else, but he went directly to date Zhao Zonghai, who is not very close to him in comparison?"

"Hello? Lao Zhao, are you free tonight? I'm going fishing at night. I found a good fishing spot. I just caught more than 40 kilograms two days ago. Your sister-in-law said that I sold it for hundreds of dollars. Tsk, tsk, tonight I I still plan to go, will you go?"

Lu Ming's heart became more solemn.

Horford really made an appointment with Zhao Zonghai for fishing at night. He must have been manipulated at this moment.

In another surveillance screen, Zhao Zonghai, who was resting in bed, answered the phone and chatted with Horford for a few words, then hesitated.

Horford's voice continued on the phone.

"I heard from Lao Wu that you bought a new fishing rod, don't you want to try it?" Horford said with a smile: "I checked, the weather is not bad tonight, let's go."

Thinking of his brother sleeping with his father, thinking of the new fishing rod he had longed for and finally buying, and thinking of the legendary fishing spot, Zhao Zonghai finally made up his mind.

"Okay, let's go. What time?"

"As per the old rules, we will meet at the entrance of Xiaoshu Village at eight o'clock in the evening. I will bring a box of cold beer and we will drink while fishing."

"Okay."

Zhao Zonghai doesn't feel much about drinking, but he doesn't resist: "I'll go to Lao Zhang's place to cut some cooked meat and bring it with me to fill my stomach at night."

This is how the matter of fishing tonight has been decided.
