spy on

During dinner, Liu Wei told Fang Ning and Zhao Yue the detailed process of arresting people in the past few days.
That's called a stand-up comedy with both voice and emotion.
The scope of involvement in just a medium-sized G city is almost unimaginable. The private lives of these wealthy people who live in fine clothes and fine food all day long are really complicated in a way that ordinary people cannot imagine.
But things here have to come to an end. Fang Ning's psychological clinic has been idle for many days. In the end, she can't tell which is her main business.
"By the way, I've been having a problem."

Fang Ning looked at Lu Lingyou, who was sitting across the dining table, still wearing a mismatched apron.
"Now most of the truth is gradually coming to light.
From these clues, it is not difficult to see that this is a very large criminal group.
The suspects you captured in Shenzhen before who wanted to attack Zhang Song and Zhang Bai are just the tip of the iceberg among many people. There must be countless similar "thugs" across the country.
Search for specific targets and arrest specific people. In addition, the dark web provides more and more buyers and sellers every year. Not only that, but also provides special services for disposing of corpses.
Covering such a wide area and requiring so many manpower, how does Huang Huanxin control this group of people and where do they come from?
If it comes to assigning tasks, contacting darknet customers, money laundering and other operations, these operations can all be performed online through the darknet's overseas team.
Then other so-called people who act offline are not so easy to control.
As long as one of them is revealed, a whole series of chaos will soon arise.
But in recent years, except for the recently exposed suspicions, the police have almost never noticed it."

Lu Lingyou had a cigarette in his mouth, leaning lazily on the back of his chair, glaring sideways at the three kids next to him amid the smoke, who were eagerly waiting for answers.
"You three, use your brains if you have nothing to do.
Think about the causes, consequences and operational logic of each case.
I've been waiting for you to ask these questions these past few days, and what's the result?
You guys have become more and more famous because of the investigation of the case, and you are so happy that you have snot bubbles every day, and you have almost forgotten all the things I taught you."

The three people lowered their heads in surprisingly unison and remained silent.
Zhao Yue quietly pulled Xia Ning's clothes under the table, but did not escape Lu Lingyou's notice.
"What's the use of pulling her?
Can she be the narrator behind every case with you?"

Zhao Yue curled her lips secretly and muttered in a low voice without fear of death.
"If you don't make people angry all the time, why can't you?
Not every time you buy some broken fruit, you can coax people into it.
I didn’t even buy the right one, and I hit the mark accurately.
There are so many kinds of fruits, so just choose the ones that people don’t like to eat and give them away.
Single for ten thousand years"

Although the voice was very low, the two parties heard it so clearly that Liu Wei was so frightened that he shook his legs under the table.
Fang Ning coughed awkwardly.
"Well, let's talk about the case.
You haven’t said yet how Huang Huanxin found these people.”

Lu Lingyou tapped the three people one by one with his fingertips, and then he was willing to let them go temporarily.
“These people have indeed never met the mastermind of any criminal group, and they have no idea that the dark web organization exists.
For example, the people Wang Zhao and the others arrested before for providing live stray animals to the club were basically the same.
They all do their own thing, and they all get paid to do things, and get in touch with their upline through similar spam messages that Zhao Yue received.
On the next level, some tasks are directly assigned by the dark network.
There are also some things that are difficult to operate online, so they are handed over to Huang Huanxin and Ren Hua's subordinates.
However, they don’t know much. They only know that what they are running is not a regular business, but they cannot compete with the high remuneration and bonuses.
The key point in this is not who is assigning tasks, but what Fang Ning said is where to find such a large and controllable "thug"."

Fang Ning nodded.
"So I can't figure it out.
If Huang Huanxin wants to be as knowledgeable about every operation as he has been in the past few years, then these people must be, to some extent, like those darknet customers. Even if they don't mention them one by one, they will know everything they have. Keep things tight-lipped.
But it’s hard to grasp the fate of one or two people, let alone the fact that there are so many people all over the country who are doing business under the noses of the police.”

Lu Lingyou felt a little funny when he heard Fang Ning speak in a low voice, and curled his lips before continuing.
"Song Sen and other city task forces have arrested a lot of people these days, and we also arrested a few in Shenzhen.
They do all have one thing in common.”

The three little ghosts asked in unison.
"what."

"money."

Liu Wei scratched the top of his head.
"But that's okay.
These people are willing to do this kind of thing, it must be motivated by their own interests."

Lu Lingyou shook his head.
"When I talk about money, the focus is not on the amount, but on the method and purpose of payment."

Fang Ning stared at Lu Lingyou smoking, waiting for the next step.
“In addition to collecting cash at designated locations like the ones we captured, there is another way they receive payment.
Deduction.”

After putting out the cigarette butt, Lu Lingyou crossed his legs and leaned back on the chair, giving the others time to think.
Fang Ning pondered these two words and suddenly remembered something.
"I remember what you said when you arrested those people.
Even after learning that the police were investigating the matter, they still chose to commit the crime against the odds.
One of the important reasons is that we owe huge debts."

Fang Ning nodded in understanding and seemed to have figured it out, but the three silly children next to him still looked confused.
“What deduction?
Not the boss, Fang Ning.
You usually think too fast, and you understand everything just from the beginning.
But you have to take care of us mortals, right?"

Fang Ning explained with a smile.
“At the beginning, we all thought that these people committed crimes because they were forced by huge debts.
If they don't repay the money regularly, not only will debt collectors keep pressing on them, but the pit of interest compounding on the remaining debt will only get bigger and bigger.
Therefore, people who are burdened with huge debts are generally very anxious and prone to take risks and engage in illegal activities.
But looking at it now, it's more than that.
Debt is even more of an opportunity.”

The three of them still shook their heads, and Fang Ning continued to explain patiently.
"You think about it.
At the beginning of the establishment of the new dark network, we wanted to quickly establish offline criminal organizations across the country that could serve the dark network.
How to find this large number of manpower? Who is the target group?
How do you find people who can carry out criminal actions in different locations without knowing who they are serving, and at the same time can hide the fact that they belong to the same criminal organization?
It is difficult to find such a large number of people, and it is impossible to talk to them one by one. So what do these people have in common that can be controlled uniformly without spending a lot of manpower and material resources?
You don’t have to consider whether these people have criminal records in the past.
But we must ensure that once their current criminal actions are caught by the police, they must be completely disconnected from the dark web."

Zhao Yue tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped her thigh.
"I understand, yes, yes, yes."

After thinking about it, Zhao Yue even felt that she was just like an idiot.
"How could I have ignored this connection?
If you want to quickly win over offline people who can do it directly without training, you have to be someone from the margins of society.
But we cannot directly find those fugitives who are related to recent criminal cases and groups of people released from prison who are concerned by the police.
Firstly, these people are easily exposed, and secondly, the scope of involvement is too wide and difficult to control.
Once caught, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, and as long as you investigate thoroughly, you will more or less be able to detect the unity behind their actions.
However, since the establishment of the darknet, countless missing persons cases have been solved across the country, but there are no signs of the darknet.
It only shows that these people are not the extremely vicious group of people that the police have been paying close attention to.
Then there is only one possibility left, which is those old gamblers with huge debts.
There are a lot of people like loan sharking and gambling all over the country, and most of these people are willing to go astray and take risks.
Not only is it easy to find, but it can also avoid other risks.
Regardless of whether they are successful or not, and whether they are caught or not, there will be a large number of people who will come to replace them."

Liu Wei and Zhao Zifeng opened their mouths at the same time.
"It also."

They wanted to say that this was a great idea, but they did not dare to say so in front of Lu Lingyou.
Fang Ning nodded.
"So Huang Huanxin took advantage of this.
Most of today's loan sharking and gambling have moved online, and most of the companies behind them are overseas.
Although the police have been vigorously preventing and controlling this illegal business in recent years, after all, it is not within the scope of their own jurisdiction, and it is even more difficult to completely eradicate it.
Huang Huanxin could have injected funds first and then cast a wide net across the country.
In this way, there is a constant supply of manpower, and the life gate is also in his hands, and he can also clean up the relationship between these people and the dark web.
The point is, most of these people’s so-called illegal labor remuneration did not even go into their own pockets, but returned intact to the dark web’s capital chain in the name of repaying debts.”

Zhao Yue couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"What a white wolf is doing with nothing is called a six.
This Huang Huanxin is really a talent, his brain is simply amazing.
However, it was not used in the right place, and instead it was used to correct those crooked ways.
If he used his cleverness in serious business, wouldn't he also be able to make a fortune?
Why should it be?"

Seeing that the three of them had finally come to their senses, Lu Lingyou snorted coldly.
“Most people want to succeed, but they don’t want to accumulate step by step in a down-to-earth manner.
You have seen a lot of criminals, whether they are killing people or stealing goods, you can't escape this relationship."

Zhao Yue suddenly sighed with emotion.
"But boss, I just can't figure it out.
If we don't live through these good days, why are so many people willing to take risks?
Just say that these people arrested these days are either rich or noble.
They are already very rich, and the money is piled up in their accounts. Even counting from the decimal point, they have to count it on their fingers for a while.
Why do you have to come out and cause harm to good people who are living their daily lives?
Although we solved the case this time, we still walked on a tightrope at the gate of hell for several days.
Team Wang was just transferred out of the ICU a few days ago, who did he offend again?
If the car door hadn't blocked him for a moment, he would probably have been disabled.
I have been having nightmares these past few nights, always dreaming about the explosion that day.
I was so scared that I had to get up and run to the toilet several times before dawn." Lu Lingyou glared at her with hatred.
"Look at your future.
Do you think solving a crime is like watching a movie, where a detective can come to the scene and find the murderer after a few quick gestures?
There is no protagonist's aura when solving crimes, and you have to hold on even when you catch up.
Wang Zhao saved his life not because he was lucky, but because he was vigilant and reacted quickly. When he was about to explode, he took two steps towards the car door.
Otherwise, how do you think you can check the spare tire in the trunk? You can use the side door to block it for yourself.
Will the side door fly by itself?"

Zhao Yuenu opened her mouth and nodded humbly.
"When we were in school, the teacher kept emphasizing that there is no perfect crime in this world, and every human behavior will leave corresponding traces.
But even though today's detection methods have developed by leaps and bounds, there are still so many old cases that have not been solved in the archives.
I finally discovered that the grand ideal that I vowed to eradicate when I was in school could not be realized.
This bunch of grandsons and Wuyang Wuyangs are lining up to cause trouble for us.
Just like Xiaoqiang at home, he suffered a disaster."

Lu Lingyou glanced at Fang Ning opposite him from the corner of his eye. She was looking at her phone with her head down, her expression quite serious. She seemed not to have paid attention to Zhao Yue's emotion just now.
"Although it is a bit inappropriate to describe crime in this way, everything in this world has a proportion of effort and reward.
Criminals have spent many years carefully planning their crime methods. Even if you are the reincarnation of Sherlock, you will not be able to touch the destiny in just three to five days.
That’s why our profession needs to spend more time and energy peeling off the cocoon bit by bit.”

Zhao Yue nodded vigorously.
"I know, boss."

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.
From the moment Zhao Yue started to feel angry, Fang Ning had been staring at the phone without saying anything. In the end, she just raised her butt and left.
What the hell?
Lu Lingyou washed the dishes himself and tidied the kitchen inside and out, then took off his apron and walked to his room.
Passing by Fang Ning's door, I saw the bedroom door ajar.
Looking through the crack in the door, Fang Ning was sitting funny on the suitcase on the ground, unable to zip it up even though he tried his best.
Lu Lingyou almost laughed out loud, coughed slightly, raised his hand and knocked on the door frame.
"Do you need any help?"

Fang Ning looked up at the door helplessly, the sweat on her forehead glistening from the light.
"Then just use it."

Putting the cigarette he just took out behind his ear, Lu Lingyou bared his big teeth and pretended not to be very impatient, pushed the door open and walked in.
"You've only been here for a few days, who asked you to bring so many things?"

Fang Ning pouted and stood up from his luggage.
"No, it was obviously fine when I came here.
Isn't it because you insist on having that old face to look good and ask Liu Wei and the others to buy a four-piece suit?
I forgot to remind them. I was afraid that the hotel sheets you ordered at public expense would not be comfortable for you to sleep on, so I brought a spare set but never took it out.
As a result, this new set was not used.
It cannot be pushed back if it is dismantled, it would be a pity to throw it away, and it cannot be stuffed in.”

Lu Lingyou knelt on one knee on the suitcase and zipped it up effortlessly.
"I dare you to blame me for this."

After half an hour of packing the luggage, it was sorted out so easily.
Lu Lingyou stood up and rubbed his palms on his trouser legs, showing no intention of leaving.
After hesitating for two seconds, he finally asked.
"While we were eating just now, you were tinkering with your phone for the second half of the meal. What's wrong?"

Fang Ning was stunned for a moment, then turned away to avoid Lu Lingyou's sight.
"It's nothing, I'm sending a WeChat message to Jiang Moyu."

Lu Lingyou knew very well what kind of lie Fang Ning was, he was clearly looking at his phone with a completely different face.
And ever since he came in, she had been teasing him in a relaxed manner, as if she was afraid that he would ask, and was always looking for other topics to talk about.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Fang Ning squatted on the ground with her knees in her arms, checking very seriously and carefully whether the zipper of the suitcase was tightened.
"It's really nothing, I just have something to do with the case that I can't figure out.
I'll discuss it with you after I figure it out."

Lu Lingyou smiled and turned around and sat on the sofa behind him, seemingly unwilling to let the topic go by.
"Fang Ning, when did you develop this awkward attitude?"

Fang Ning stood up holding her knees and slowly sat on the bed opposite.
She sighed first, as if she was making up her mind.
When he raised his head again, his expression suddenly changed from the avoidant one just now.
"I see that you are full of confidence, as if you know what I want to ask?"

Lu Lingyou took the cigarette out from behind his ear, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it but did not light it.
"After knowing how Huang Huanxin found thugs offline, you hesitated for a while.
It seemed that he still had questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't say them in front of them.
Now they are gone, it's just me here.
Why didn’t you say it again?”

Fang Ning shrugged.
"indeed.
But no matter how much I speculate, this case is basically settled.
Don't make any assumptions without evidence, isn't that what you said?"

Lu Lingyou sighed and wanted to smoke, but when he thought of Fang Ning's broken voice, he put the cigarette back.
"I know, although it seems now, all problems have their traces.
But overall, there are still some things that don't make sense with Huang Huanxin alone, or with Ren Hua as the biggest helper.
First of all, several of the cases we have handled before were all related to the dark web, but so far, no one’s testimony points to the fact that there is such a branch behind the dark web that instigates people to commit crimes.
Who gave Su Kai your and my information, and who generously provided the police with the video of the earthquake that year at the door of the city bureau.
And how did Huang Huanxin discover the heretical ways in which his family's ancestral business once made them rich?
These clues seem to tell us that there is still something to be uncovered behind this huge criminal group on the dark web."

Fang Ning nodded.
"Yes, and why Lan An knows the old me, especially after I changed my name."

Lu Lingyou patted the coffee table in front of him, took a blanket from behind and put it on it.
"Sit down and say.
I can't hear you clearly with your broken voice."

Fang Ning hesitated for two seconds, then stood up and walked over.
After she sat down slowly, Lu Lingyou said patiently in a kind tone like an old father.
“Before we came here, we didn’t have much confidence that we could handle the dark web in one go.
Although I am not satisfied with this result, it is undeniable that the dark network's domestic chain crime line has been temporarily stopped.
At least in a short period of time, no one will continue to commit crimes based on this complete criminal industry chain.
This result is already very good for now.
As for those deeper things, I will follow up regardless of whether the task force continues to investigate.
But results cannot be achieved in a day or two.
There’s no rush.”

Fang Ning sat on the blanket on the coffee table and nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.
Lu Lingyou thought to himself, my dear, this is going to be a meat-and-potatoes affair.
"Fang Ning, I said, if you have anything to say, just say it directly.
The kind of meat that is turned over and over on a hob is not popular here."

Hearing this, Fang Ning raised his head and looked at Lu Lingyou, who was sitting very close to him across from him. His long legs were almost encircling him.
"I have a bad feeling." (End of chapter)
