Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

The "secret door" set up by NEMESIS in San Francisco is a unique courtyard that looks no different from other surrounding houses from the ground. Lin Ning brought Andrew here.The villa looks clean and tidy, it seems that it is being taken care of regularly, but there is nothing fussy about it.

Andrew: "Don't tell me that there is a mysterious organization hidden in this house."

Lin Ning: "To tell you the truth, this is my first time here."

Andrew: "..."

But it really told Andrew that he was right, this house was just a cover-up, and there was an entrance to the underground base in it.This is not uncommon. Some branches of NEMESIS are set up in this way, just like the former umbrella company drilling down all over the world, so that some bases even go hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters underground. The base of NEMESIS is not that exaggerated, it is at most 100 meters deep underground.

cough.

Andrew followed Lin Ning down in the elevator, and he didn't look like balala along the way, and Lin Ning soon noticed that his face turned pale. It seemed that he was not used to going deep underground, but he stubbornly didn't show it.

Lin Ning shook his head secretly, but he didn't expose him, but after arriving at the destination, he pointed to the sofa placed in the hall and said: "You sit here for a while, I have to go to my colleague to explain the current situation. "

Andrew walked quickly to the couch, slumped on the couch, and said, "You don't need to explain to me."

Lin Ning rolled his eyes in his heart, turned his eyebrows and said, "Do you know why a dead duck has a stubborn mouth, Andrew?"

Andrew: "??"

Lin Ning didn't say anything to the stubborn boy, just let him diverge, and entered a door by himself, and the White Queen immediately projected: "Do you want to absorb him?"

Lin Ning joked: "I actually want to take him out of the matrix." The "matrix" is naturally from "The Matrix". In its world view, human beings live in a matrix built by artificial intelligence, not the real world. , every move is controlled by the mother, but human beings do not know it, and only a very small number of people have awakened.To some extent, it is not inappropriate to use it here now. After all, this is a parallel world derived from a TV series, and everything that happens here can be manipulated by the screenwriter and director.Of course, when it's a parallel world, all the emotions are real.

And let's end this topic.

Speaking of going back to the present, the White Queen heard the words and said: "Please forgive me, Emilia, your wisecrack is a little out of place."

Lin Ning was about to refute, but after she glanced at the White Queen, she was suddenly blessed: "I think he is a good talent, but I am more likely to recruit him to work in NEMESIS in the future instead of letting him He participated in the 'mysterious organization' between us as my apprentice, or assistant or something-he thought we were some kind of mysterious organization. Anyway, I mean bringing him here is just a stopgap measure, I still I don't know what's going on with the current case, and I can't rule out whether the black hands behind the scenes are still tracking that .avi, and putting Andrew under my nose is the best choice."

The White Queen said thoughtfully: "So I'm your colleague now. So, is there anything I need to pay attention to when playing this role?"

Lin Ning spread his hands: "Don't wear clothes?"

But Lin Ning really thought about this issue. She thought for a while and added: "You are my colleague at the headquarters, and I am currently on vacation. As my technical backing, you are adhering to the love of colleagues to mobilize some resources to help me."

White Queen: "It's no different from usual."

Lin Ning smiled and said, "We have always cooperated so tacitly, haven't we?"

The White Queen: "Yes."

After checking the script with the White Queen, Lin Ning walked out.

Andrew has recovered, not only physically, but also understands what Lin Ning said just now, so that he stared at a pair of dead fish eyes: "So what are we going to do next?"

Lin Ning: "We collect as much information as possible."

Whether it is the heroine Jane White in the sexual massacre .avi, or the victim No. [-] Kevin Marcus who has some connection with .avi, the victim No. [-] Michael Adams has only a brief understanding, from which It's not that simple to see what's going on, so the first thing they have to do now is to collect as much information as possible from all relevant personnel, and then further organize and screen the information.

Lin Ning asked Andrew to collect information on Jane White and two other girls who disappeared with her, "their files, local news, and their social networks, etc., everything you can find." She said Andrew's technology Still very promising, not to mention that this guy was self-taught in the past.

And Andrew gave an "ok" gesture, and then buried himself in typing on his keyboard.

Lin Ning smiled, and began to dig into the huge social database.

As for the White Queen?Although she didn't show up, when it comes to searching in the data world, she is the most powerful one. She was responsible for this part most of the time. Although Lin Ning didn't say anything to her now, she still asked Usually, all the relevant personnel of this case were searched, and before Andrew was noticed by the company of the social networking site, part of the data flow was separated to escort him.

This is because he doesn't want Andrew to hold Lin Ning back.

Not to mention this small episode, just to say that with such a strong alliance, all kinds of information of relevant personnel were quickly retrieved and summarized, or any information that can be digitized is available.

Lin Ning habitually printed them out, and while printing them out, she went through them at a glance, and then summarized and briefly analyzed the data in her mind.

In this way, when the materials appeared in front of Andrew again, they had been re-bound by Lin Ning and divided into different folders. Not to mention, she also said her initial deduction: "I think Kevin Marcus Most likely not directly related to the deaths of Michael Adams and Jane White, at least to their disappearance."

Andrew was expressionless: "What do you want me to say? Ask how you came to such a conclusion? It's not fair to me." He just read Jane White's profile.

Lin Ning shrugged: "That's how I usually work, Andrew."

This is suspected of pretending to be invisible. Although Lin Ning did not exaggerate in this sentence, and Andrew did not think that Lin Ning was showing off, he could understand this kind of thing, just like he usually talks to his classmates. They don't understand the same thing a lot of the time, that's what makes them different from them.

Andrew then said dryly: "Well, I am Andrew Watson now. Begin your reasoning, Emilia Holmes—you don't need me to write down what you say, do you? Because I No hobby of writing."

Lin Ning: "...No need."

Lin Ning resisted the idea of ​​rubbing the curly hair of this bear child, and began to talk to him about her thoughts:

It was mentioned earlier that Jane White and her two girlfriends disappeared after going to Central Europe for a graduation trip, and the local newspapers and news that Lin Ning had read did not say that they disappeared before leaving the United States. They disappeared, or did they disappear after they arrived in Central Europe, and because both victim No. [-] and victim No. [-] happened in San Francisco, Lin Ning subconsciously thought that Jane White and her two best friends were missing in the United States.

However, the fact is that the three of them successfully left the country and arrived in Central Europe.On their social networking site, they posted photos of their skiing in Switzerland, as well as photos of other tourist attractions.The photos are not synthetic, and the location location in the database also shows that they were indeed in Central Europe at the time, which means that they disappeared in Central Europe.

The social networking site stopped updating a year, eight months and two days ago, and Jane White's family confirmed their disappearance one year and eight months ago, that is, two days after the social networking site stopped updating.

Based on this point in time, let's look at the whereabouts of victim No. [-] and victim No. [-].

Let’s not talk about the first victim, Kevin Marcus, who is the clerk in the computer repair shop, but let’s talk about the second victim, Michael Adams, a street gangster who has nothing to do. The shops in the surrounding blocks are nothing but theft, and one year and eight months ago, he was sent to prison for drug trafficking, and he had already spent two months in prison, and was not released on parole until three months later.

Generally speaking, the victim No. [-] had no possibility of any intersection with Jane White at that time.

Andrew asked, "Where's Kevin Marcus?"

"His situation is a bit complicated. According to the records of the computer repair shop, he joined the job two years ago. Records, he did not spend on air tickets around one year and eight months, and I did not find his entry and exit records, that is to say, unless he used other methods to go abroad, then he spent one year and eight months He stayed in China before. However, there are still other problems with his bank statement," Lin Ning said, taking his folder and handing his bank statement to Andrew, "This is his bank statement, you Did you find any inconsistencies?"

Andrew took a quick look and pointed out bluntly: "One account gets a fixed amount every two months on the first Sunday, and the other anonymous account gets paid on the third Sunday, again staggered months. That third Sunday—I thought he was past the age where he needed to be supported by his parents, or that he was growing so fast that he looked 30 when he was three."

Lin Ning: "...His parents have passed away."

Andrew: "Obviously I was being sarcastic."

Lin Ning: "I understand."

Andrew: "..."

Lin Ning raised the corners of his mouth, and immediately continued to talk about the tricky bills of the victim No. [-], "These two remittances are not large in amount, and one of them was the second when our Mr. Marcus worked in the computer repair shop. The other one started six months ago, and the two remitters were both anonymous - I don't think Mr. Marcus can have any part-time job, so he can receive remittances continuously like this, I have asked my colleagues to track down these two unknown remitters to see if they can find something as soon as possible."

Andrew: "Your colleague?"

"Yes, it's also my best friend, my family." Lin Ning also told Andrew about the persona she had discussed with the White Queen before, and finally said, "Do you want to meet her?"

Andrew: "What? Give me a blue pill?"

"It's funny," Lin Ning smirked, "but unfortunately it's not."

Andrew: "..."

Lin Ning cleared his throat: "Then, please allow me to solemnly introduce my colleague to you." She motioned Andrew to look to the right, and saw that the originally empty place was projected with royal blue light, and the light gathered together It disappeared quickly, replaced by a little girl in a white dress with long black hair.

Andrew: "!"

"You can call her the White Queen (White Queen)," Lin Ning said, turning to the White Queen, and said in a full-fledged manner: "Honey, this is Andrew."

"Nice to meet you, Andrew." The White Queen said so, before Andrew could respond, she said to Lin Ning: "I will inform you as soon as I have news, Emilia."

Lin Ning: "OK."

Afterwards, the virtual projection of the White Queen flickered, and then the whole person turned into dots of fluorescent lights and disappeared.

Andrew: "!!"

"Virtual projection technology, maybe you can think of it as a 3D version of a video call." Lin Ning explained calmly, and her explanation was not false to a certain extent. The White Queen was originally projected. And this virtual projection technology has been used in NEMESIS for a long time. When the heads of branches hold meetings, they will use this technology to project projections from their own offices to specific offices, so that everyone can be in the world. "Face-to-face" conversations in different places have a high degree of simulation, and they are all synchronized by themselves, but this requires high-end equipment support.

Andrew finally came to his senses. He squinted at Lin Ning, and said in an undisguised tone of contempt: "Do you employ child labor?"

Lin Ning paused before saying, "I can only say that the White Queen's skills are much better than mine."

Andrew frowned.

Lin Ning shrugged and said, "This is America, Andrew."

Andrew obviously understood the meaning of this sentence, he curled his lips.

Regarding the coaxing of children, Lin Ning has no conscience at all.After all, to some extent, it makes sense for her to blame the United States for how the White Queen, who looks like a ten-year-old girl, became her colleague.Not to mention anything else, it was mentioned earlier that the FBI Department of Internal Affairs has a watch list, which includes the former Black Queen and now Garcia, WQ and many others; there is also a math genius who studied math 55 at Harvard Well, they have no other choice after graduation. They usually enter the Department of Homeland Security because the government feels that they will pose a great threat to the United States if they are in other places.Not to mention the CIA, God knows how many people the CIA has monitored, even the Pentagon has their minions.

And yes, this is the protector of the world, the great America!

(America: "...")

And Lin Ning is more than just deceiving Andrew. It's like she only said that the White Queen is a virtual projection, but she didn't say that the White Queen is not a real human being, and Andrew didn't think about it. The queen's technology was as praised by Lin Ning, and she quickly found out the names of the two losers, and also attached their detailed information.

Lin Ning also printed out their information, and took the opportunity to make a mosaic investigation wall-photos of the persons involved, brief information, mixed with a timeline, the relationship between the personnel, and a red line to indicate that the whole case will be more vivid. image, but also help in derivation of thinking.

You can also call it a clue wall.

Andrew mused: "So this is your day job?"

Lin Ning nodded: "It can be said that it's just that the cases I encountered before were not as complicated as this one."

Andrew said disapprovingly, "I thought you would describe it as weird."

Lin Ning glanced at him: "You are a bit obsessed with Sadako, Andrew."

Andrew spread his hands and said, "Then please allow me to remind you that the two of them are still dying strangely." He pointed to the photos of Kevin Marcus and Michael Adams on the clue wall.

Lin Ning did not say that they died strangely, but she did not tell Andrew that she had a possible guess. She just raised the folder in her hand: "Didn't we already have new clues? It just so happened that it was time for dinner." , we can stop by for a meal, how about going to that sushi restaurant? I have reserved two seats."

Andrew wanted to mutter something, but when he heard this, he smoothed his mouth and scratched his curly hair instead: "You are the driver, you have the final say."

His hair is brown to golden, probably because he is not that old, and the golden color has not completely faded to brown. It looks full of color, and the curl is very harmonious. Lin Ning wants to follow along. , but she held back, looked at the information of the two remitters and said, "I think I know what those two fixed-amount and fixed-time remittances are."

Andrew's eyes were dead immediately, and he said in an aria with no ups and downs: "Oh, ma'am, my servant is Andrew Watson, your most loyal old man."

Lin Ning: "Hahahaha."

Even the White Queen privately sent Lin Ning: 'He has a sense of humor. '

Lin Ning suppressed a smile and replied, "I feel the same way." '

·

The two people who sent regular remittances to victim No. [-] Kevin Marcus, one is Andy Smith, he is the manager of an advertising planning company; the other is Chris Allam, this Mr. Allam is none other than The man in a suit that Lin Ning met at San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum earlier had a fiancee with a powerful family, and he himself had a lust but no guts, which fully fit the definition of a modern boy.

Lin Ning recalled every move of this little white-faced gentleman in the Contemporary Jewish Museum, and immediately said to Andrew who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Let's visit Mr. Smith first."

Andrew came to the spirit: "Did you know? In English, Smith means blacksmith, and in "The Matrix", Agent Smith's license plate number is IS5416, which implies religious meaning. In "The Bible · Isaiah Chapter 54, Verse 16 of the "Book of Life" said: "I made the blacksmith who boasted of charcoal fire and forged suitable tools; I also made the one who injures and destroys." This alludes to the role of Agent Smith in the mother body, that is, Eliminate all abnormal programs that endanger the operation of the mother body."

Lin Ning let out a "huh" and said, "I know the entire Book of Isaiah in the Bible."

Andrew said: "Wow, you are amazing."

Lin Ning: "...you won. And if you say 'I'm not competing with you', I'll throw you down."

Andrew: "..."

The two of them killed each other like this and arrived at the door of Andy Smith's house. According to his work schedule, he left work early today.Lin Ning straightened her collar before getting out of the car. She was dressed quite formally, but Andrew was still dressed like a small otaku. When standing next to Lin Ning, he was still habitually holding his chest. No matter how you look at it, the two of them don’t quite match each other. coming.

Mr. Smith who came to open the door for them was taken aback, "Who are you?"

"Andy Smith?" Lin Ning asked with a straight posture.

Mr. Smith was still puzzled: "I am."

"FBI, Agent Wood." Lin Ning miraculously took out her ID photo, which could be mistaken for the real one, and placed it clearly in front of Mr. Smith, and explained by the way: "I am taking my brother on vacation today, but I received a notice from the officer, saying that I will ask you about Kevin Marcus."

(Andrew: "...?")

Mr. Smith was surprised: "Who?"

Andrew was stunned.

Lin Ning calmly took out the photo of victim No. [-], namely Kevin Marcus, and handed it to Mr. Smith: "This is his photo, I think you should know him, or maybe you Saw him before, but he was wearing a hat or dark glasses—”

Mr. Smith interrupted: "You needn't say any more, I recognize him." His distaste for Victim One was as obvious as a reference to a bedbug, despite his upbringing to restrain himself in the presence of outsiders. . "What's up with him?"

Lin Ning didn't answer, but asked, "Can we go in and talk?"

Mr. Smith resisted a little.

Lin Ning said seriously: "I can tell you responsibly first, Kevin Marcus, he is dead."

Mr. Smith's astonishment was not fake: "What?"

In this way, Mr. Smith invited Lin Ning and Andrew in, poured a glass of water for Lin Ning, and poured a glass of orange juice for Andrew.

Andrew: "..."

But he didn't protest, he just sat back a little angrily, ignoring the glass of orange juice.Lin Ning also ignored him, but chatted with Mr. Smith who had already recovered: "Kevin Marcus was murdered three days ago, and his death involved some other things, so my officer Then ordered me to stop my vacation to investigate his death, and we know that there is improper money exchange between him and you."

"His death has nothing to do with me," Mr. Smith frowned. "You mean he died three days ago, right? In San Francisco? Then it wouldn't be me, I five days ago Went to New York on a business trip and came back only the day before yesterday, and my colleagues can testify for me."

Andrew opened his mouth, and just as he was about to say something, Lin Ning stepped on the back of his foot, not allowing him to refuse, and stuffed the glass of orange juice into his hand, signaling him with his eyes, "Don't talk, drink your juice."

Andrew: "..."

After doing all this, Lin Ning turned his head to Mr. Smith as if nothing happened, and said, "Then please provide your colleague's name and contact information, Mr. Smith, and we will verify it."

Mr. Smith happily gave the contact information.

Lin Ning said that she didn't have anything to ask. Mr. Smith stood up and sent them away, but when he sent them to the door, Mr. Smith hesitated for a moment and said: "I can ask, since this Kevin Marcus is dead, What will happen to his remains?"

Lin Ning said without changing his face: "Because there are other incidents involved, we have temporarily collected them. If they are not used in the future, they will be permanently sealed in the archives."

"Really?" Mr. Smith was a little dazed, but he quickly came back to his senses, "Please go slowly, agent."

Andrew: "??"

Confused, he got into the car and asked Lin Ning impatiently, "Is he suspected?"

Lin Ning shook his head after thinking about it: "He is a victim of Kevin Marcus."

Andrew said stiffly: "Please start your reasoning."

"Kevin Marcus is blackmailing him, and the regular and fixed remittance is the hush money. As for what reason our Mr. Marcus used? I think he got Mr. Smith's daughter by some kind of coincidence. Photos or videos of the rape - Mr. Smith called the police two years minus a month ago saying his daughter had been raped, but the case was closed quickly and I think the rapist was caught. I watched it at the time In this case, the rapist is most likely someone known to his family, and if the police officers of the San Francisco Police Department do not lose their minds collectively, then it will be a matter of time before they catch the criminal.” In a world full of dogs, the IQs of police officers in police stations all over the country are basically online, but they are not as super-class as BAU.

But that's not the point, the point is: "How did Kevin Marcus get it by coincidence? And I think another museum guy who sent money to him was also blackmailed by him. Under the circumstances, I think he should take advantage of the fact that he is a clerk in a computer repair shop, and accidentally saw indecent pictures or videos on the customer's computer or mobile phone. Under the pressure of numerous debts and the desire to bet on horses, let He did what he did to blackmail them, and I have to say he was kind of smart."

Andrew: "?"

Lin Ning explained: "I mean that the amount he blackmailed Mr. Smith and the museum man was not large, and he hasn't increased the amount for so long. This made Mr. Smith and the museum man choose to endure instead of taking other measures."

Andrew said thoughtfully, "Are you so sure they didn't do anything?"

"Let's not talk about the man in the museum, let's just talk about Mr. Smith. He remitted the money as scheduled today, and now that Kevin Marcus is dead? Is this still necessary? Of course, he may have done this to It’s a lie, but when we went to his house just now, he even poured you a glass of juice, I tend to think it’s a clear conscience plus the ease of getting rid of the tarsal maggot.” Lin Ning paused and said: “If you If you want to listen, I can continue to analyze a series of changes in his expression for you, but I think I can tell you how Kevin Marcus and Michael Adams, who took over, provoked death?"

Andrew's eyes lit up: "The wronged soul of Mr. Smith's daughter."

Lin Ning: "...he is still alive. And the 'death' in my sentence, you can understand it as a murder."

Andrew: "...Why do you call yourself the FBI?"

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to settle the old score with me, or do you want to listen to me continue?"

"It's actually changing the subject." Without giving Lin Ning time to react, Andrew made a gesture of 'please': "Go on."

"It's related to the sexual massacre .avi. Kevin Marcus found this .avi in ​​the guest's computer most likely when he was repairing the computer. I don't think he recognized Jane White and didn't watch it. Since Jane White is really dead, he probably thought he could sell this .avi as a pornographic film, so he found his friend, the street gangster Michael Adams, to see if he has any skills." Lin Ning didn't agree He said unhurriedly, "However, the person who filmed this .avi and the two men who participated in it knew the truth. They didn't want the .avi recording their crimes to be leaked, so they chose to kill people to silence them. "

Andrew was not convinced, and he said, blah blah, "You're talking about 'killing people', making Kevin Marcus go crazy while eating conveyor belt sushi, being shot and subdued by the deputy sheriff, and making Michael Adams look like Was it chased by ghosts, and then shot to death by gangsters? If the murderers you mentioned have such bizarre methods, why don't they choose to rule the world?"

Andrew didn't know what he thought of, and the conversation changed quickly: "Or they modified the programs of Kevin Marcus and Michael Adams? It's like "The Matrix."

Lin Ning: "...Do you know, Andrew? You are so expressionless that I can't judge whether you are telling the truth, or are you trying to mock my inference. You can tell Do I have an answer?"

Andrew: "......"

After being silent for a while, Lin Ning said, "Want to eat conveyor belt sushi?"

Andrew: "Yeah."

By the way, take a look at how the conveyor belt sushi can drive people crazy.
