Yu Guang

Chapter 39
Wang Ze is not good at dealing with such situations.

A weeping young woman, speaking some purely emotional arguments, constantly using her own intuition to deny objective truth.

But the other party's spirit is commendable for being able to rush over from the city on the other side of the parent planet.

Her name is Qiao Ya, and she is the girl who appeared in the second video of "Ghost Appearance". Facing the terrifying ghost, she still activated the "Rescue" for the game character of the deceased Zhang Li.

What is rare is that Qiao Ya did not over-adjust her appearance in the virtual world. She is also youthful and beautiful, with an obvious mixed-race appearance, three-dimensional facial features and in line with the public's aesthetics.

Seeing that Wang Ze couldn't bear it, He Qiu took the initiative to stand up.

"Miss Qiao, thank you for supporting the police in handling the case. We have made a detailed record of your testimony."

"I saw it with my own eyes..."

Qiao Ya said in a trembling voice, and the female classmate who came with her also nodded seriously at the moment.

"Has Ms. Qiao followed the latest public opinion?" He Qiu asked.

"I saw it," Qiao Ya's voice was a little hoarse, "They are all saying that the uncle committed suicide to create a storm of public opinion, and spread rumors and slanders, saying that the uncle... the uncle took a large sum of money to his family, and then discredited Wei Wei. Xing Group..."

Wang Ze frowned slightly upon hearing this.

No matter which case, the dead are Wen Quan, Zhang Li, and Gu Wanzhong's "ghost serial murder case", or the "cloud rail train hijacking case" that precisely blocked him and He Qiu. After the incident, the police They all retrieved all the information that could be retrieved at the first time, and their bank statements are naturally in this category.

If this kind of rumor and slander is indeed a public relations method made by Lin Weilin's team, Wang Ze's impression of her will also be affected by it.

He Chou said in a low voice: "You stabilize your emotions first, this matter is actually very complicated, and our police are also very passive right now."

"It's impossible for uncle to commit suicide," Qiao Ya whispered, but her gaze was very determined.

He Qiudao: "We will release the specific facts and facts to the public in a timely and specific manner after the evidence is sufficient and the case is clear."

Wang Ze suddenly said, "What is your reason for saying that?"

"Uncle, he is very optimistic and gentle," Qiao Ya bit her lip, but looked at Wang Ze calmly, and continued, "I was in a gloomy mood for a while, when I met uncle, he was very kind to me. I am very caring, always say some words of encouragement to me, teach me to face life with optimism... Just encourage me like this until I get out of this shadow."

He Qiu asked, "How long ago was that?"

"A year ago, a year and a half ago, we met in a competitive sports game, and he was my best friend," Joya murmured, "He can comfort and encourage me for half a year. He may commit suicide, but he still wants to have a stable family."

Wang Ze said: "Miss Qiao, there is still more than an hour before the ghost will appear again, and this should also be the time for him to announce all the truth.

"Now I can't persuade you anything, and I can't promise you anything.

"But in my feeling, Zhang Li should be a pretty good person. If he can live, I also want to be friends with him."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ze nodded to Qiao Ya and said excuse me.

Qi Ming, who had rushed over after receiving Wang Ze's message, had already greeted her, and began to play the role of a close sister, standing in Wang Ze's previous position.

A few minutes later, Qi Ming showed a good ability to make friends, and got acquainted with Qiao Ya, and took Qiao Ya and her classmates to the lounge on the lower floor of the building.

Beside the corridor window, Wang Ze put his hands in his pockets and looked out of the window. The unchanging straight suit on his body was now stained with a little dust.

He Qiu took an electric cigarette in his hand, endured a little bit and put it back.

"Don't stress too much," He Chou leaned against the window, whispering, "The words that the ghost said, such as destroying virtual property, are clearly moral kidnapping."

Wang Ze smiled: "Actually, I have an answer."

"Ok?"

"However, my answer is a bit unbelievable, and I don't want to do it for you," Wang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, "My instinct tells me that I can't listen to the criminal's words, and everything has to be investigated by myself.

"So, at noon, no matter how unbelievable or cruel the truth announced by the ghost, we can't easily believe it and go to actually investigate this matter.

"Unless he can show enough evidence."

"No, what's the matter?"

Wang Ze made a silent gesture, He Chou frowned, but after all he just scratched the back of his head irritably.

He Qiu lowered his voice and said, "Don't tell the outside world about this."

"Well," Wang Ze lowered his head and fumbled in his jacket pocket for a while, took out a bronze badge the size of a thumbnail, and pinned it in his jacket pocket.

The border of the badge is two ears of wheat, inside which depicts the outline of the sixth star cluster, with three shining stars in the center.

"What is this?" He Qiu asked in confusion.

"A total of twelve Pioneer Medals have been awarded by the Sixth Star Cluster, which can be inherited by direct blood relatives. The benefits are that the minimum energy is 40.00% higher than that of ordinary people."

Wang Ze introduced it quite seriously.

"What are you doing with this thing?" He Qiu stared, "Are you planning to receive subsistence allowances on the home planet?"

Wang Ze slowly spit out two words: "Save your life."

He Qiuzheng wanted to tease him a few words, telling him not to be under too much mental stress, but just as he finished speaking, there was a popping sound in his ears. Looking back, the whole corridor suddenly became dark, and the emergency lights at the stairs Light up slowly.

Outside the window, the bustling Pearl Harbor City seems to be covered with a layer of haze. Under the bright sunshine, the perennially lit light signs of various buildings are slowly extinguished.

Buildings everywhere were soon lit up again. - They draw on reserve energy.

But with several million people in the whole city, there are only a small number of areas with energy reserves.

Most of the people either woke up in the port device with astonished faces, or took off their glasses on the street with suspicious faces, and fell into the darkness of daylight in several densely populated areas with compact buildings.

A cage-like isolated island appeared in the network world on the surface of the mother star.

The isolated island has been completely plunged into darkness.

"power cut?"

He Chou's voice couldn't help but raise a few degrees, and shouts came from the corridor immediately.

"The internet is broken anyway!"

"What's going on, in what age can the power go off? Did the ghost do it?"

"It's a city-wide power outage! Received a text message!"

He Qiu's phone vibrated a few times, and Wang Ze soon received the same message.

[Because of the upgrade of the city's power grid, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, the city's power supply will be suspended except for hospitals, nursing homes and other places that urgently need electricity. 】

Wang Ze murmured in a low voice: "The ghost's real opponent, the mouse hiding behind the Weixing Group, is finally willing to show his face."

……

10:54:20 am.

Pearl Harbor City, Huiyao Building.

A wholly-owned subsidiary of Weixing Group occupies the highest thirty floors of this building.

This kind of building has high-energy storage batteries. At this time, the energy control system of the building also automatically turns off various augmented reality devices that consume a lot of power to ensure the stable operation of the building's elevators and lighting systems.

Outside the president's office on the top floor.

A guard in camouflage uniform and loaded with live ammunition stood with his head held high, blocking access in all directions of the corridor.

Those sturdy private bodyguards were also stopped by these guards at a further position, unable to personally protect their employers.

In the dimly lit office, Gao Wengong stood with his head bowed.

Sitting on the sofa were three old men in suits, smoking cigarettes without saying a word, and there were two younger generals of the defense force by the window behind them, both wearing medals of honor issued by the home planet council.

In front of Gao Wengong, the old man sitting behind the desk had silver-white eyebrows, age spots on the corners of his eyes, loose skin, and light breathing, as if he had fallen asleep.

Gao Wengong's fingers were trembling slightly.

A general by the window said, "The power has been cut off."

The three politicians sitting on the sofa were visibly relieved.

"Chairman Gao," the person on the left frowned and asked, "How did you finish the work? Why did you make such a big mistake?"

"I have carried out the cleansing of the information in the strictest possible way."

Gao Wengong whispered:

"Moreover, a network-wide screening is carried out every five years, and the information on the Creation Titan has indeed been cleared.

"All the technicians who were in charge of that incident back then, who didn't know the specific situation and only did server maintenance, were directed to clear their memories, and each of them had been observed for a long time.

"More than a dozen backbones who knew the specific situation... They all had accidents within three to five years, and it was impossible to speak. We also conducted a follow-up investigation on their relatives and friends.

"It stands to reason that there shouldn't be..."

"Don't say it logically," the oldest politician frowned, "If you really cleared up all the information, how could the police find out about the "Genesis Titan"! How would they know that gentle, gentle man?" Is Jade the former name of the murder victim in Genesis Titan?"

Gao Wengong glanced at the politician with a helpless expression on his face.

"Initially this case was treated as a homicide, and it was suspected that someone found the back door of the server, and then wanted to attack our Dawn Street market.

"It was almost only two days ago that someone reported to me about the Creation Titan.

"Because the information is too clean, it is impossible for me to know the specific meaning of the words Wenrunruyu. It all starts with the arrival of that detective Wang Ze on the home planet."

The latter didn't dare to say anything more, but just snorted coldly.

"Xiao Gao," the old man behind the desk spoke slowly, and Gao Wengong lowered his head immediately.

The old man whispered:
"Our opponents prepared for a long time just to catch us off guard, and you can't blame that.

"What we should be thinking about now is how to prevent the situation from spreading."

"Old Wen," Gao Wengong said in a low voice, "I suspect that the brain-simulation technology used by the other party is interfered by the forces of the Nine Star Clusters."

"It doesn't matter whether you intervene or not," the old man said. "This incident has sounded the alarm for us. The method we thought was clever back then actually left certain hidden dangers... We should think about retreating."

Gao Wengong asked softly, "What do you mean?"

The old man raised his hand to signal, Gao Wengong immediately bowed his head, not daring to speak any more.

"They are all in relatively prominent positions, and the cost of publishing negative news is too high," the old man said slowly, "Xiao Gao, you should be over 70 years old."

Gao Wengong's Adam's apple trembled: "Mr. Wen, I understand."

"Well, if we can't stop each other, or the situation becomes extremely bad.

"Your children, please arrange to go to the third star cluster as soon as possible. It should belong to you, and I won't let others touch it."

The old man waved his hand:
"Get on with it, don't just sit around and let your team and resources do something."

Gao Wengong bowed his head, turned and walked towards the door.

When he went out, he staggered a few steps, and his breathing rhythm became a little rapid.

……

Noon, eleven fifteen.

The police building was rarely quiet, and the only backup energy was supplied to the dispatch hall and the underground garage to ensure that the police can dispatch the police normally when there is a problem in the jurisdiction.

But things are a little more complicated now.

The young police officers were lying by the window and looking out, taking pictures of 'rare' street scenes from time to time with disconnected devices.

Although they are policemen, they have never seen such a scene of guards blocking the road in the peaceful environment of the home planet.

Suspended armored vehicles are controlled at various street intersections;
The guards sitting in the elliptical aircraft patrolled the road back and forth, as if looking for ghosts;
The entrances and exits of the floating driveway have been set up checkpoints, and the guards strictly check...whether the terminals of each passerby can still be connected to the Internet.

The entire city was hit on the pause button.

Someone questioned, and the guards patiently gave an explanation:
"The ghost has weapons of mass destruction in its hands, which may destroy the virtual industry ecology of the home planet at any time.

"Now we are conducting on-the-spot investigations, because the ghost's previous activities were all in Mingzhugang City, and we suspect that his server is in Mingzhugang City."

That's what they were ordered to do, and they were just following orders.

In the police station, many people gathered in the lobby on the first floor, all observing the environment on the street. Wang Ze and He Qiu hid in the corner and whispered.

"What should we do now?" He Qiu asked.

Wang Ze's expression was a bit complicated: "Now it seems that the high-level defense forces are also related to the Creation Titan."

"The defense forces...they didn't even ask for our assistance, they went up on their own, which is a bit against the rules," He Qiu asked in a low voice, "Do you think it's a virtual training?"

"The training that can be simulated in the black box game can be done by the parent star defense force normally," Wang Ze explained, "According to various treaty restrictions, the parent star cannot have a military fleet, and there are not many restrictions on ground troops.

"In fact, some commercial starships themselves have certain weapons and equipment for self-defense."

He Qiu frowned and thought.

Wang Ze said calmly: "There are more than 40 minutes until twelve o'clock, it seems that I have to do something."

He Chou grabbed Wang Ze's arm, stared and muttered, "What's going on now is beyond the two of us, why are you so excited!"

Wang Ze frowned and signaled He Chou to let go of his arm.

Doesn't this guy know how strong he is?His bones were almost crushed.

"Just don't worry, I know what's in my heart, and I won't do anything beyond my ability."

"Then I will accompany you," He Qiu frowned, "I brought you here, and I will send you back whole."

Wang Ze said: "That's fine, go to the street, I'll see if I can see that Gao Wengong."

The corner of He Qiu's mouth twitched a few times. Seeing Wang Ze calmly bypassing the crowd in the hall and walking towards the glass door on the left, he quickly followed.

"boss!"

A shout came from behind.

Wang Ze turned his head slightly, and said to Qi Ming, "You don't have to follow."

"Detective Wang!"

Beside Qi Ming, Qiao Ya, who had stabilized her mood a lot, didn't understand why she called to stop the detective.

'I want to be friends with him too. '

"Thank you," Joya whispered.

Wang Ze nodded with a smile, turned around and pushed open the glass door with He Qiu.

Swish, swish!
Red dots appeared on the foreheads of Wang Ze and He Qiu.

A large number of guards raised their pulse guns, and the outlines of the two were printed on the tactical goggles.
