Chapter 133 Internet celebrity festival (eight)
Liang Xi emailed Thresh: Flamingo is the violent criminal gang you mentioned?
Thresh was obviously very idle, and responded immediately: yes and no.

Liang Xi understood this sentence, it was the work of this violent criminal gang, but Flamingo was not a member of this violent criminal gang.

Liang Xi: Their target is the supreme commander of the police in the hostage incident. He will be played to death by the flamingos.

Thresh: I can't answer that question.

He didn't say he couldn't answer, he didn't say he didn't know, of course Liang Xi understood what he said he couldn't.

Liang Xi: I see. You have been tossing around in London for several months and haven't settled your affairs.So it can only be dealt with by violent gangs.

Thresh: Isn't that because you, the swordsman, have been messing with me?He didn't deny it, but vented his anger.

Liang Xi: I don't think this gang will go far.

Thresh: Do you think anyone cares how far they go?
Liang Xi savored the meaning of this sentence and asked: Chameleon?
Thresh: Can't say.

Thresh: Last advice, this group of people kill people without blinking an eye, you'd better keep a low profile and stay away from them.They will get rid of anyone they think is a threat to them.

After contacting Thresh, Liang Xi found out that after 7 minutes of the 15 minutes break that he won because of his death on the 10th, Liang Xi did not read the comments on the Internet, and made a call: "Kent, where are you?"

Kent is no longer the case leader, he is now a detective running errands.His superiors asked him to first assist the Metropolitan Police in the hostage crisis.Kent replied: "Preparing guesthouses and hotels for the gentlemen in London." Obviously very unhappy.

Liang Xi said: "If you have time, I can help you find out one thing. For the Internet celebrities who are still staying in Fairy Tale Castle, who has encountered cyber violence. It is not ordinary comments and insults, but a condemnation that represents a certain level of public opinion and morality."

Kent: "Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

Liang Xi said, "Are there still people in your Fairy Tale Island?"

Kent said: "There are two police detectives left, and the undercover agent is still in the Fairy Tale Hotel."

Liang Xi said, "Okay."

……

Number 7 was the Portuguese battle royale king, and his death caused an uproar.The first reason is that he died miserably, in front of countless people.The second reason is that the police are capable of saving him.Not only him, the police now have the ability to save 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 five hostages.The public opinion exploded, and everyone left messages in the comment area and the police platform, asking the police to rescue the hostages immediately, but few people mentioned No. 6, as if No. 6 did not exist, they avoided mentioning it.

The death of No. 7 triggered public opinion. The person in charge, the assistant director of the front-line police department, Tang Na, was very passive. He hoped that dozens of police detectives under him could find No. 6's whereabouts, and at the same time, he had to deal with and prevaricate the calls of the big shots.After his death on the 7th, even the royal family and the Prime Minister's Office called to inquire about the case.They didn't ask Tang Na what to do, but Tang Na can read their meaning, they hope that Tang Na can abandon No. 6 and rescue other hostages.They did not explain their intentions, hoping that Tang Na would take the blame for the death of No. 6 on his own initiative.

Downer is 58 years old, and he doesn't care too much about taking the blame.But as a policeman, he couldn't give up number 6.However, he also knew that if he did not give up No. 6, the other hostages would be threatened.The pressure brought by morality, public opinion, crippling feet and politics pushed Donald to a desperate situation.There are only 5 minutes before the start of the third round of the game. If there is no order, another hostage will be killed.But maybe there will be a miracle?The miracle appeared within these few minutes?
Donner couldn't give the order. Once he gave the order to rescue the hostages, it would be equivalent to killing No. 6 himself.Without venting his anger, Downer yelled at the hostage crisis management team: "Can't you help me buy 15 more minutes?"

Helen's department is very wronged, it's not that they can't fight for it, Flamingo doesn't give the opportunity to participate at all.

Now the top news in Europe, the highest number of clicks, and the highest number of people watching the video is the flamingo hostage incident.Some countries that have survived the hostages have intervened as cripples, hoping that the British police can guarantee the safety of their people.Everything shows that abandoning No. 6, which is basically impossible to find, is the most feasible way at present.

With 1 minute left in the third round of the game, after asking about the progress of the technical department, Donald finally gave the order: "Rescue the hostages."

All units were counting down in 30 seconds, and when they were about to start together, Flamingo said: "I believe everyone is curious about the identity of No. 6. I can tell everyone that No. 6 is not an Internet celebrity."

There was movement on No. 6's screen, and a long pole stretched out, and lifted No. 6's hood and mask. No. 6 closed his eyes, tilted his head and opened his mouth, as if he was still in a deep sleep.

Flamingo said: "I will give 2 minutes extra time to introduce No. 6. No. 6 Lyme, Belgian, 35 years old, has an IQ of 180, graduated from Harvard with a Ph.D. in physics, and is also a tenured professor at Oxford University. His mentor is a certain Nobel Prize winner in physics, he is the future Einstein in the physics world. Ordinary people don’t know him, but I believe that no one in the physics academic circle doesn’t know him.”

Flamingo said: "There is a mainstream opinion on the Internet, saying that Internet celebrities and scientists are completely worthless. In order to verify this statement, the third round of the game is still a voting game, and there is only one option. The number of people watching the live broadcast is now 200,000 6 people, if there are less than 5 votes, No. [-] will be executed and the other hostages will be released. If there are more than [-] votes, a hostage will be randomly executed. The voting time is still [-] minutes, thank you everyone.”

Assistant Downer asked, "Do you want to act?"

"Stop operations." Tang Na was unable to give orders before, but now he dare not give orders.Lyme is a scientist with an infinite future, and may even have a huge impact on the progress of human civilization.Even shameless politicians dare not provoke the scientific community easily. He De, an assistant director himself, dares to decide the life and death of a scientist.

Downer felt very bad at this moment.He already knew that there was a cliff in front of him, but he also knew that there was a sea of ​​swords and flames behind him.Going forward is death, retreating is death, and staying where you are may not be able to survive.

……

Liang Xi predicted the development of the situation several times, but this time Liang Xi couldn't understand it at all.How to choose this?I can only feel sorry for the person in charge for a second, the flamingo is not kidnapping a hostage, it is trying to punish the person in charge to death.

Liang Xi asked curiously, "Helen, who is in charge?"

Helen turned her head and replied, "Assistant Director of Frontline Police Department Donna."

Liang Xi asked, "Is he related to Johnson?"

Helen replied, "Probably not."

As a country with maritime laws, the United Kingdom advocates the equality of all, which is also the criterion of the judiciary's legislation and law enforcement.Killing other hostages for the No. 6 scientist violated the basic spirit of the law.But if he kills a scientist to rescue other hostages, public opinion will not let him go. You must know that the number and enthusiasm of fans of scientists and Internet celebrities are not comparable.After the mainstream public opinion in society learns about the income of Internet celebrities, they will always compare the income of scientists with them. Over time, a mainstream value has been formed: scientists are miserable, and Internet celebrities are very happy, so it is wrong for Internet celebrities to have high incomes. As for whether the income of scientists should be increased, it will not be discussed.

Liang Xi said: "I'm pretty sure the police can't find No. 6. Helen, is Donna and John on good terms?"

Helen wondered, why did John get involved?Liang Xi wanted to gamble, but he didn't have enough chips and hesitated in his heart. He needed to increase the bonus to let himself give it a go.

Helen didn't ask, and replied: "As far as I know, Donner should be the top officer in the police station who is most concerned about John's case. Without his pressure, the investigation will not continue for three months without any clues."

Liang Xi said, "Can I talk to him?"

Helen nodded, dialed Tang Na's number, and handed the phone to Liang Xi.Tang Na answered the phone very irritablely: "Speak."

"Director Donner, I'm John's adopted son, Liang Xi."

Tang Na was startled, and said for a while, "Hello."

Liang Xidao: "Based on my personal random guess, there is a problem with the Fairy Tale Hotel. I guess the Flamingo or the server is in the Fairy Tale Hotel. For the live broadcast of the Internet celebrity festival, the Fairy Tale Hotel has servers and satellite communication equipment. Johnson chooses weekdays The Internet Celebrity Festival started on Friday, and the eight hostages happened to be invited guests who did not arrive at the Internet Celebrity Festival. Based on Johnson’s performance at the Internet Celebrity Festival, I personally think that Johnson knows the flamingos and the hostages.”

Liang Xidao: "I think the police can't find No. 6 in a short period of time until all the hostages are killed. Only Johnson, who is a media tycoon and familiar with psychology, can understand the mentality of netizens so well and understand the dynamics of the Internet. He commands and controls the police. Netizens are developing towards their own scripts." Liang Xi used a lot of 'think' and 'possible' because he was not sure.

Donner asked, "Any suggestions?"

Liang Xi replied: "The opponent is strong, and Johnson is cunning and sophisticated. I have no good advice."

"Thank you." Tang Na hangs up the phone and thinks for a moment: "Application for a search warrant for the Fairy Tale Hotel." The dead horse has the right to be a living horse doctor, and the police have unlimited resources. He has nowhere to go, so he can only give it a go.

……

Time was passing, and with more than 40 votes cast by netizens, No. 6 saved his own life and was replaced by the death of No. 8, the Spanish battle royale king.No deception, the bloody corpse shows that No. 8 is really dead. The 8th is different from the 7th. In 1 minutes' last words, he apologized to his parents and girlfriend who loved him deeply, and apologized for not being with them more.Finally, on the 8th, parents are asked to use their inheritance to maintain the operation of their Tianlai Charity Foundation.

The Teana Foundation is a charitable foundation in Spain that helps deaf children.The foundation has only been in operation for four years and has already helped more than 8 children restore their hearing.No. 8 is responsible for all the funds of the Teana Foundation.The reason is that No. [-]'s younger brother is a deaf child and died in a traffic accident because of his deafness.

At that time, the younger brother No. 8 was playing ball on his own turf. He did not notice the car accident behind him.The second car accident caused the tires of a small truck to roll out and hit No. 8's younger brother, who died after rescue efforts failed.

When they learned that the Internet celebrity was a philanthropist, the keyboard warrior among the netizens did not hesitate, and immediately divided into two camps and began to quarrel.Since scientists and philanthropists are the best weapons they can use to morally kidnap others, the keyboard warriors soon united and blamed the death of No. 8 on the incompetence of the British police.

……

Helicopters and boats carried police to raid the Fairy Tale Hotel. With a search warrant, the police quickly controlled everyone in the hotel and found the server used for the live broadcast of Internet celebrities.The accompanying police computer experts quickly confirmed that the server was used for the live broadcast of the flamingos.The bad news is that the server itself is fine, it is a server controlled by hackers from the outside world.

After a comprehensive search, the police found a piece of clothing made of sheets from the service room on the second floor of the hotel, which was similar to the dress of the flamingo in the live broadcast.

After this action, the live broadcast signal of Flamingo was interrupted, and he did not show up or make any sound again.Donner is an experienced veteran policeman, and he has already prepared plan B. After the live broadcast signal was interrupted, several groups of police officers immediately rescued the hostages, and successfully rescued the four hostages 1, 2, 3, and 5.As for the life and death of No. 6, there is no news yet.

The computer expert brought the second bad news. There were gangsters around No. 6. After they took control of the server, the gangsters unplugged the device connection, so they couldn't chase No. 6's location.Downer's assistant led the detectives to search the Fairy Tale Hotel to find the flamingos.Forensics investigators are also trying to find DNA on discarded linens.

The live broadcast of Flamingo ended without incident due to a police raid. The Metropolitan Police released the investigation progress of the case in real time on the Internet. Many people followed it, but it was far less than the number of viewers during the live broadcast of Flamingo.Finding No. 6 has become the most concerned matter of some rational netizens and the police.

After the matter came to an end, Liang Xi and Bobby returned to London by helicopter. After landing, Liang Xi received a message from Kent.In the Kent survey, among the 22 internet celebrities participating in the Internet celebrity festival, only one person has suffered cyberbullying, and that is Sophia, also known as Kou Kou.This information surprised Liang Xi. He suspected that Johnson's assistant was among the 22 Internet celebrities. Judging from the attitude of Flamingo's words, Liang Xi judged that he might have suffered from Internet violence.It is highly suspected that Kou Kou is a flamingo.But Liang Xi didn't feel this at all during his contact with Kou Kou.

Bobby took Liang Xi back to London to have dinner with Liu Haimei. During the dinner, Bobby told Liu Haimei clearly that he would not be satisfied with living with only one woman.Liu Haimei kept blushing, nodded and shook her head.In the end, the two parted ways after a friendly handshake.During this dinner, Liang Xi hardly spoke, he was recalling every detail of his contact with Kou Kou.Because Kou Kou was not attractive enough to Liang Xi, Liang Xi didn't pay special attention to her, no matter how Liang Xi recalled, he couldn't think of Kou Kou as suspicious.

The latest news came from Brighton, the police arrested the internet celebrity lawyer.The armpit hair found in the sheets belongs to the online celebrity lawyer.Liang Xi thought that maybe he had made a mistake, and maybe the flamingos had nothing to do with cyberbullying.Just maybe.In the Internet celebrity killer case, Liang Xi was certain in his heart that Johnson and Jesse were the murderers. It was difficult to say the identity of the flamingo, and both Kou Kou and the lawyer were suspected, so it was difficult to draw a conclusion.

This kind of control over everything is as addictive as God's game of playing with all beings like flour, and you can't stop it.If the mastermind is not caught for a day, sooner or later he will make a comeback.

　Thanks to the lord 'Captain Flying Dutchman' for his kindness, and I would like to add more to show my gratitude.
