fog city detective

Chapter 108

Today's hell is a suburb of east London, twelve kilometers near a golf course.This is an area where loess, sand and gravel are very common in rural areas.There is no river, no lake, no trees, no buildings, and it is ten kilometers away from the road.In summary, it is an open space the size of four football fields.To the west of the open space is a cliff. It is said that the city hall wants to build a bridge to open a straight line from the golf course, across the cliff and connect to the road at the other end of the cliff.

The place marked in the town hall is: east of the cliff.The exact location is west of the golf course and east of the bluff.Since there is no scenery, it is [-] kilometers away from London, and there are no golf courses and no convenience stores on all sides, so no one will appear here every day.

Poppy is a member of several metaphysical and theological communities, and someone mentioned this place in the community last week.Let's call the person who brought it up tentatively A, and the story was told by A's cousin.My cousin, a container truck driver, was driving past the golf course at eleven o'clock in the evening on his way to Ipswich Town, and was filling up at a gas station near the course.

My cousin met a girl at a gas station.According to A, the girl left her boyfriend because she found someone outside her boyfriend.After her boyfriend drove away, the girl found her cousin and asked for a ride. It didn't matter where she was going, she just wanted to get out of here.The cousin was strong and handsome, and at the suggestion of the girl, he drove the truck off the road and drove to the east of the cliff. A said that the truck is about 100 meters away from the road. My cousin often passes by here and is very familiar with it.

Turning off the engine and turning off the lights, the cousin persuaded the girl with sincerity in the dark.After the persuasion was over, when the two were getting dressed, a car drove past them about 20 meters away.The speed is about 60 kilometers.It’s nothing to say, the east of the cliff is on the side of the road, the terrain is flat, and there are always drivers or passengers borrowing it temporarily.

If it is this story, naturally it cannot be told in the metaphysics community.The amazing thing is that the car that my cousin and sister saw was lit up inside the car, and the lights were turned on, but there was no one in the car. A asked his cousin for verification, and the cousin assured him that the front of their car was at a high place and they could see clearly inside the car, and there was absolutely no driver in this car.

Could it be remote control or autonomous driving?My cousin said that it was a 1990 Shrimp car, and the only electrical appliance in the car was the radio.Moreover, the speed of remote-controlled cars on the market is lower than ten kilometers, and the distance from the remote-controller cannot be too far.For self-driving technology, the car has no obvious radar sensors and laser rangefinders.

A found out through newspapers that in the late 90s, a couple drove a 1990 shrimp car and fell off a cliff, killing both of them.

On the second day after A explained the matter, seven community members, A, and A's cousin arrived east of the cliff, and they really found fresh tire tracks here.

There is only one road here, the golf course gas station has road monitoring, and there is a gas station west of the cliff that also has road monitoring.Members of the community spent money to buy surveillance cameras at two gas stations to search, and found no shrimp 1990 model cars passing the road within 12 hours before and after the cousin and sister had a heart-to-heart talk.

The ensuing investigation turned into a farce. They found the girl who was talking to the cousin. The girl denied the incident, denied what she had seen, and even denied that she had hitchhiked to Ipswich, and took out a shotgun and told them to go away. .

Several people in the community squatted east of the cliff for three nights, but found nothing, so the matter was left alone.

……

Due to the thrilling experience of seeing Karin in the morgue, after the three vehicles entered the east of the cliff, two bodyguard vehicles searched the area, first to ensure that there were no living people in the area.Since the hell was outdoors this time, the bodyguards installed locators and buzzers on Liang Xi and Bobby.They didn't stay away either, and parked a car on the road and the edge of the cliff.The third car was handed over to Bobby and Liang Xi, and they were equipped with a bodyguard driver. After all, the area of ​​this land is not small.

The vehicle drove to the place where my cousin's truck was parked. Liang Xi got out of the car and raised his head to feel the raindrops falling. He said dissatisfiedly, "Can't you find a place that can protect you from the wind and rain?" up.

Bobby and Liang Xi said as they walked, "I believe in A and his cousin, but I don't believe in ghosts."

Liang Xi sneered: "Why do you trust A and his cousin?"

Poppy: "Bills."

Liang Xi: "What? Damn...you bought that girl." Liang Xi immediately understood.

Bobby smiled triumphantly: "That's right, the truth is that the girl's boyfriend found her messing around, so he threw her away at the gas station in a fit of anger. The next day, the girl apologized sincerely, and her boyfriend was persuaded by her to change his mind. The girl was sure to tell me , the situation is the same as what my cousin said. An empty car with the lights on inside and no one in the front and rear seats. The car drove from the cliff to the road, drove on the road, and drove west of the cliff. During this period, she never I saw someone in the car."

Liang Xi asked, "Modify the remote control?"

Bobby said: "My bodyguards asked modification experts, and they said it can be done, but a lot of equipment needs to be added to the car. It is difficult to control the car with a mobile phone or computer at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour. An analog car remote control is needed. To complete this remote control, the software alone is a big project. According to the cousin and the woman, the car does not have an external signal receiving antenna, and there is no obvious increase in equipment, and the most important thing is that the monitoring of the gas station has not found anything."

Liang Xi stretched his muscles and bones, raised his legs, thought for a while, and said: "The problem is not how the car is unmanned, because there is a theoretical possibility. The problem is why the car was not captured by surveillance. Do you have surveillance video? "

Bobby replied: "The video was shared in the community, and I downloaded a copy. Not only did there not appear any Shrimp 1990 cars, but there were very few cars. I inquired and learned that there is another road from London to Ipswich, the highway The weight limit of the bridge. Therefore, only some large trucks will divert to this road because of their own weight."

Liang Xi said: "There are several possibilities for disappearing. The first possibility is to drive the car to the bottom of the cliff. As long as no one calls the police, no one will investigate. The second possibility is to drive the car into a container truck. If this is the disappearance The method shows that there is an ulterior purpose. The car that is actually undergoing driverless testing will definitely be carried out in a confidential and safe place, and there will be a bunch of staff monitoring the data. "

Liang Xi analyzed: "No matter what the purpose of the car is, driving here should be a test. Since it is a test, why is there no one in the car and no one outside? If you look at the nearby terrain, it is all flat land with no high points, which means It is impossible to observe from a distance. Therefore, I believe that someone is driving the car in the car. There is also a doubt, even if the car is a secret test, why did the other party not find a large truck parked nearby?"

Poppy asked, "What answer?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "There are many possibilities. The only thing we can investigate is how the car disappeared. We need hackers. I think driving a car into a truck and hiding it is the best way to disappear." 60 kilometers per hour is the normal driving speed .Not being able to see anyone doesn't mean there is no one. The other party's purpose is to drive a car without being able to see people from the outside world.It's still far away from Halloween, and it's a bit of a horror or tech gang.

Liang Xi contacted Liu Zhen by phone and transferred to the voicemail box. After waiting for 10 minutes, Liu Zhen did not call back.Liang Xi knew that Liu Zhen and the others were likely to be on a big mission.Such large tasks need to wait, and the mobile phones of all personnel involved in the operation will be confiscated during the waiting period.Liu Zhen is likely to be carrying out a task of linkage between the police and the police.

The other candidate was Helen, but she was pregnant, and it was past ten o'clock in the evening. Besides, Helen was not a hacker herself, so she had to ask others for help.The most suitable candidate seems to be only the blade.Liu Zhen can lie to try his luck, Dao Feng will not be so casual.In addition, Fiona is a hacker of Daofeng, Liang Xi finally decided not to contact Daofeng.

Poppy proposes: "Shall I ask the bodyguard to contact the hacker?"

"The chief bodyguard will not agree. This is not a matter of inquiring about one piece of information. We need to inquire about a lot of information." Liang Xi never made up his mind to contact Daofeng, and said, "Let's take a walk."

Bobby and Liang Xi walked towards the cliff, Bobby looked at Liang Xi: "You seem to have changed a bit."

"What changes?"

"It turned out that I was a little hunchbacked, and I'm taking a physique class recently?"

Liang Xi stood at attention, bent down vertically, touched his ankle with his hand, and then sent an expression of did you understand.Bobby was confused, what the hell?He also stood at attention, his fingers directly touching the soles of his feet.Liang Xi was in a bad mood for a moment. As if nothing happened, he took out his mobile phone and sent an email. There was only one sentence in the email: Give me a call.
