Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1397 The Failed Interview
"This photo..." Mi Ziyao's voice was cold, his hands were shaking, "Who took this photo?"

"It's an intern reporter from us, who just took a picture at the booth of the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce?" The senior colleague asked tremblingly, "Why, team leader, is there something wrong with the photo?"

"It's him..." Mi Ziyao mumbled to himself in a daze, "It was indeed him, and he appeared again... At the beginning, Brother Huai was probably killed by this kind of thing!"

Hearing Zou Huai's name, colleagues who were familiar with the situation were stunned.Yueju, Song Qianqian and others also surrounded her one after another.

The entire social group knew that a few months ago, an old colleague of theirs, Zou Huai, had accepted an interview for Mi Ziyao in a chemical factory. It was originally just a simple sewage discharge incident, but Zou Huai never did it again. When he came back, when he was found again, he had already died there inexplicably, leaving the orphans and widows at home, crying day and night.

After the investigation by the police, no abnormalities were found, and the official also adopted the statement of the person in charge of the chemical plant, that is, "Zou Huai sneaked into the factory late at night to investigate violations of regulations. On the way, due to improper operation, a poisonous gas leak occurred and he died on the spot."

After this incident, Mi Ziyao always regretted it very much. He always thought that Zou Huai died for him.And he also firmly believed that Zou Huai's cause of death was definitely not as simple as what was said in the report. I'm afraid he just found out something... Someone didn't want him to find out, so he was killed and silenced!
Mi Ziyao also went to that chemical factory afterwards, and indeed he did not find any obvious flaws.Thinking about what happened last time, even if there were evidence of crimes here, they were all cleared up urgently by the person in charge.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. With the cooperation of Mrs. Zou, Mi Ziyao still found many clues.It also allowed him to confirm that this was indeed a long-lasting and huge conspiracy!

"My sister-in-law gave me a note pad, which was left by Brother Huai before his death. She also helped me crack Brother Huai's micro-time and space code. I read Brother Huai's notes and all the private messages between him and netizens. I also probably know a few cases he investigated during his lifetime."

"First of all, it is a strange job advertisement. It is said that it will be distributed in various forms on the Internet and on the street, and it is specially aimed at those low-level people. The advertisement says that this job does not require academic qualifications or any professional skills, and no training is required. You are hired directly, and the salary is very good. But the only thing to note is that the nature of the job is confidential, and applicants must not tell others about this job.”

"For those low-level employees, this is their dream job, and they will naturally be regarded as a life-saving straw. However, according to the contact information on the advertisement, all the people who applied for the job have disappeared!"

"They are all people with the least social status, and they don't have any social circles. Even if they disappear, no one will care... But, after all, they are real people! So many people have disappeared, and the authorities have turned a blind eye to them all the time. At a glance, if there is no one deliberately suppressing the matter behind the scenes, I absolutely don't believe it!"

"So, why did the officials do this? There are only two possibilities. One, the planners behind the scenes gave them some benefits... Second, although it sounds incredible, it is also the possibility that I am more inclined to, that is, the officials themselves He is the mastermind behind the scenes!"

"I also agree that these disappearances cannot be a coincidence." Song Qianqian interjected at this moment, "However, is it too arbitrary to link the disappearance with Brother Huai's murder?"

"Let's listen to the team leader!" Yue Ju looked at Mi Ziyao trustingly, "Since the team leader made such a judgment, there must be his reasons!"

"After realizing that these disappearances were very unusual, I started to investigate. In the process, I also met a hacker friend." After Mi Ziyao nodded to Yueju, he continued, "Before he A family member disappeared, but he went to report the case to the government but did nothing. So he wanted to find out the truth with his own strength.

"The dissemination of these advertisements is not completely traceless. It needs round-the-clock forwarding and spreading, and precise positioning of the target group... It is impossible to rely on the power of individuals alone. So, since manpower and technical means are needed , that is to say, it is inseparable from the support of money, and there is likely to be a chaebol behind it!"

"We know that all activities on the Internet will leave traces, and if there is a transmission track, there will be a source. Even if the publisher uses a proxy ip, as long as the hacker is skilled enough, he can also reverse trace the other party's real ip! "

"When we traced the accounts one by one and directly locked the IP address of the other party, from the IP attribution, we saw that there are dozens of companies, large and small, in China! They are distributed all over the country, from There is no connection on the surface, but this conspiracy network has confirmed that they are all the same!"

"The chemical plant where Brother Huai died, as well as the Shengyuan Group, are all on this list!"

"Ah..." Song Qianqian covered her lips and whispered, "No wonder you suddenly attach so much importance to the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Shengyuan Group's new factory... You want to use this to find clues to the conspiracy of the chemical factory!"

"That's right." Mi Ziyao nodded, "Maybe Shengyuan Group is not behind the scenes, or maybe they really don't know the whole truth, but since the same boss is standing behind them, compared to the already frightened chemical factory , it should be the wisest way to start with Shengyuan Group, which has no defenses!"

"Let me tell you one more coincidental thing. There was a news before, maybe everyone didn't pay much attention to it. It mentioned that the social pressure is increasing, and many bosses are tired and sick. I have seen those bosses before and after With all due respect, I don’t think they are sick at all, but have their energy sucked away by some filthy thing!”

"And these 'sick' bosses are either on the conspiracy list, or have had business dealings with the companies on the list...so everything is connected again!"

"And the sudden illness of the bosses is often after participating in some large-scale activities... A similar incident happened at the last auction venue."

"That hacker friend is proficient in using the dark web, and he found a lot of photos." Mi Ziyao said, opened his satchel, took out a stack of photos and spread them on the table, "I'll show you, these are the photos of us. Monthly investigation data. Similar shadows have been photographed several times in those companies-related places! I am afraid that this thing is absorbing the energy of the bosses! And those missing people... I am afraid they have been absorbed Life is gone."

"By the way, have you noticed..." Yueju pointed out weakly after comparing several photos, "Although I don't know the exact time sequence, this black shadow was very blurry at first, and slowly it became more and more blurry. Clearly, the photos taken by Bei Mingzang today are not much different from the real ones, right?"

"I'm afraid, this is a manifestation of his growing strength." Mi Ziyao nodded heavily, "I don't know who is officially cultivating such a thing, but if his energy is really increased, A disaster for the whole world!"

"According to our speculation, Shengyuan Group's ribbon-cutting ceremony this time is completely in line with the standards of the previous large-scale events, that is, when celebrities from all walks of life gather together... Then, this thing is likely to appear again! This is also the We have a great chance to catch him!"

With a "snap", his hands hit the table hard.

"Everything is bet on this time!"

"Team leader, I'll go with you!" Yueju asked immediately, "You originally entrusted me with Sheng Yuan's interview case, and I should have it from beginning to end. And since it involves those monsters and ghosts, it's too dangerous for you to go alone Already!"

Other colleagues also agreed, but Mi Ziyao just shook his head with a wry smile.

"All of you stay here. I don't want anyone to take risks with me and die for me... I was the one who dug out the relationship between Sheng Yuan and the chemical plant, and I should be the one to dig it out to the end!"

"And... I also really want to personally find out the criminal evidence of Shengyuan Group, and use legal weapons to punish them! This is... a promise I made to a friend."

Yueju wanted to say more, but Mi Ziyao had already put away the photos on the table, and raised her hand to touch her head.

"Okay, isn't it the time you made an appointment with the prison to interview Bai Linwan? Hurry up and get there. I'll be fine."

Yueju has always been a serious and responsible person for her work, not being punctual is not her style, so although she is still worried, seeing the time on the screen of Yujian, she can only reluctantly organize the interview tools and leave first.And she also secretly made up her mind that when she came back, she must persuade Mi Ziyao again!
It is said that Yueju tried her best to win this interview from the editor-in-chief.The other colleagues didn't understand that Bai Linwan was also a ferocious criminal, and it would be dangerous to interview him. Why did Yueju, a girl, run to prison again and again?
Unlike those who shy away from prisoners, Yueju is willing to approach them because she wants to understand more multi-faceted human nature.So far, she has interviewed many prisoners, and has truthfully fed back their mental journeys to the public.If she can arouse people's thinking in this process, she feels that her work is meaningful.

In the reception room, Yueju didn't sit here for long before Bai Linwan was brought out.

Although he is wearing handcuffs, shackles, and prison uniform, he is being escorted by two jailers, and he is slowly sitting opposite him. His face is still exquisite and extraordinary, and the demeanor of a well-known photographer has not diminished. He still looks very handsome .If you don't say it, it's really hard for others to think of him as a criminal.

A person who was once so brilliant has fallen into such a situation. I am afraid that he will have to spend the rest of his life in prison.This situation is indeed a pity, but it is true that he personally ruined his future, which is really hateful and pitiful.

"Hello, Bai Linwan." Yueju tried to calm herself down, and greeted him first, "I am Yueju, a reporter from Tiansheng Newspaper. I agreed to do an interview with you earlier. Cooperate, okay?"

Bai Linwan leaned on the seat alone, with a mocking cold light in his eyes.After a while, when Yueju could hardly bear to press her again, he turned his head slightly and looked at her sideways from bottom to top.

"You ask. If there is anything I want to use you to convey to the public, I will definitely answer you."

Yueju nodded, opened the interview notebook, and let herself show a friendly smile.

"As a well-known photographer, your photos are really good. You must like art, so when did you get into photography?"

Bai Linwan was obviously taken aback by this question that had nothing to do with the case.

Yueju has interviewed many criminals, and has also formed her own interview skills.She often starts with their hobbies or their growth history, first relaxes their guard, and turns the interview into a heart-to-heart talk.Only in this way, they will be more willing to speak.

In her opinion, prisoners are human beings and should be respected.Finding the root cause of their crimes and avoiding them is more meaningful than simply eliminating them.

Sure enough, when it came to photography, Bai Linwan's attitude really became excited.

"Because all tangible things will perish...Human beings, flowers and trees, mountains and rivers, their existence has a time limit. But my photos can freeze the time and keep the most beautiful moment of things forever...This is Art is a treasure of history!"

Yueju nodded slightly, "Looking at your works, it is not difficult to see that you often shoot with the theme of 'pain'. The pain of the model, the pain of the world, you have also used many red and purple colors to deepen the pain. reflect this pain. So your photo is almost cruel, and because of this cruelty, it is evaluated as a 'beauty that shocks the soul'. Can you tell me why you are so obsessed with 'pain'?"

"Because pain is the eternal theme!" Bai Linwan replied quickly, as if the same answer had been lingering in his mind countless times, "Everyone is born crying, but leaves with a smile. Did you come into this world just to suffer?... All short-lived beauty is an illusion, and only cruelty is the only one. The true meaning of life is pain, destruction, and life towards death! And I, too Really recorded all of this!"

When listening to him talk like this, although his mentality is a little extreme, he still looks like a normal person and can communicate normally.While quickly recording in the notebook, Yueju asked the planned questions one by one.

Bai Linwan talked a lot, and the word that came out of his mouth the most was "art". Whenever art was mentioned, his eyes would shine brightly, and his emotions would become extraordinarily high.It seems that he truly regards himself as an artist, and he cherishes his works even more than those innocent lives.

When Yueju asked the last few questions, the atmosphere suddenly took a turn for the worse.
