Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 332 329. Do you know the "Don Quixote Game"?

"Technical problem? Could it be..." Jiuzhou Cheng guessed something.

"That's right. I haven't found a hacker I can trust yet." Xi Shenjian scratched his head and said with some guilt:

"There are plenty of hackers who can work with us for short-term business, but I don't feel comfortable asking them to help investigate homicides."

"So do you want the [hacker] on my side to take action?" Jiuzhou Cheng stared at him and asked.

"It would be great if she can do it. After all, this kind of thing is not suitable for the police to do. Of course, I will definitely give her a reward and won't let her work in vain!" Xi Shenjian said: "Will it be difficult?"

"If I ask her, she will probably agree immediately." Jiuzhou Cheng sat on the sofa, his tone alert:

"But she's not a professional hacker, and I don't want her to take the risk of becoming a hacker. If what you ask her to do could seriously violate the bottom line of the law or put her in danger, I would never ask her to do it."

"I understand, I understand. After all, she is your important friend, right?" Xi Shenjian snapped his fingers, signaling him to relax:

"What I want her to do is certainly not what a law-abiding citizen should do, but it's not too dangerous. And Officer Takagi will vouch for her, so you can rest assured on that point~"

Xi Shenjian walked up to Jiuzhou Cheng, pointed at his head, and said sincerely: "If she really has an accident, you can do whatever you want with my life."

"." Jiuzhou Cheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll ask her for it."

The next day was Saturday, and Kyushu Makoto and Yugami Ken drove to Kanagawa Prefecture outside Tokyo.

"Yes, we have already set off." Xi Shenjian held the steering wheel with one hand and held the mobile phone on his shoulder with the other hand:
"Don't worry, Officer Takagi. Leave the Kanagawa area to us. You Tokyo police will be responsible for the Tokyo investigation."

On the other side, Jiuzhou Cheng was also in contact with Xiao Jing: "We are about to take action, are you nervous?"

“To be honest, I’m quite nervous.”

Xiao Jing was in her bedroom at the moment, curled up in a chair, with a laptop and a table full of electronic devices in front of her. Some of the equipment was her own, while others were "borrowed" from Officer Gao Mu, including listening and monitoring devices.

The goal of this trip is to visit the three people on the list and confirm whether they have had contact with the [Bully Butcher]. However, no matter what, I'm afraid these three people will not tell the truth readily.

This is when the "hackers" come in. Xiao Jing will take the opportunity to hack into the target's mobile phone and computer equipment, and search through electronic records to verify whether they have ever had contact with the "Bully Butcher".

"Although this operation is guaranteed by the police, you are only a high school student after all." Jiuzhou Cheng said in a comforting tone:

"If there is anything in the operation that makes you feel uncomfortable, please tell me as soon as possible and I will get you out of it as soon as possible."

"It's okay, Brother Cheng, I've said that I will definitely help you as long as you need me." Xiao Jing shook his head gently, and his soft words came into the microphone:

"And I never thought that an ordinary high school student like me could actually help the police solve the case. To be honest, I feel very excited~"

"Well, anyway, be careful." Jiuzhou Cheng said: "Keep in touch."

The two soon arrived at the first house, which was the residence of Akita Nobuko.

Akita Nobuko has the least sequelae among the three people on the list. Presumably, their family will have relatively less hostility towards Miji and Ushimura, so it will be easier to communicate with them.

"Hello, is the Qiutian family here?" Xi Shenjian came to the door of Qiutian's house alone and knocked on the door. Jiuzhou Cheng stayed in the car and waited for orders, and also used the intercom to monitor Xi Shenjian's conversation in the house.

After a while, a woman opened the door. It should be Mrs. Akita. "Hello, who are you?"

"Excuse me, ma'am. I'm an investigator from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. May I come in and talk?" Xi Shenjian immediately took out a search warrant from his pocket and said seriously.

This search warrant was naturally a genuine one obtained from Officer Takagi. As for who the owner of the search warrant was and whether it should be used here, these issues were not mentioned for the time being. It was enough to bluff.

"Why are the Tokyo police here?" Mrs. Akita covered her mouth in surprise.

Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture are very close to each other, but they are not in the same jurisdiction, so this is considered cross-regional law enforcement.

"We are here to investigate a murder case." Xi Shenjian deliberately leaned closer and lowered his voice, "The deceased are Miji Shizuta and Ushimura Reikichi. Madam, you should have heard of these two names, right?"

"They are dead." Mrs. Akita was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly explained: "But what does this have to do with us? Are you doubting us?"

The attitude is really suspicious. Xi Shenjian has already noticed the other party's abnormality.

Her expression was not natural. It was obvious that she knew something. She had a stress reaction when she heard these two names. But she should not have killed the person, otherwise she should have acted more guilty.

"Please don't worry, Ms. Akita." Xi Shenjian immediately put on a harmless and gentle face, but his tone did not mean to give in:
"We don't suspect you. It should be said that the police have never listed you as suspects. I came here today just to understand the situation. After all, this is a bloody case involving two lives. You should have seen the relevant news reports, right?"

He paused and continued, "But if you refuse our visit, you may get into a lot of trouble in the future, and you may even be listed as a suspect by the police. This is something I absolutely don't want to see."

"." Mrs. Akita lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, please come in, officer."

After Yushin Ken walked into the Akita family, Mr. Akita came out to meet him, but Akita Nobuko was asked by her parents to stay in the room and not come out.

In the next half hour, Xi Shenjian chatted with the Akita couple about many things, from the feud between Akita Nobuko and Miji Ushimura to the rumors about the "Bully Butcher", and occasionally mixed in some family chats.

On the surface, the Akita couple answered every question and seemed very cooperative, but they were obviously hiding something from him - although it shouldn't be a big secret, Yushin Ken's detective intuition allowed him to sense it.

"Thank you for your cooperation. I'm sorry to bother you." After the questioning, Xi Shenjian politely thanked the Akita couple and then left.

Back in the car, Xi Shenjian turned his head and looked at Jiuzhou Cheng in the passenger seat: "Is everything going well for you?"

"There's plenty of time. I've finished my work." Kyushu Makoto looked at the chat on the phone screen and said, "She has hacked into all of Akita's electronic communication devices and copied down all the information."

"You're quite capable~" Xi Shenjian took out a black box instrument the size of a mobile phone from his pocket.

This is the hacker device that Officer Takagi helped him get, and it seems to be a special signal repeater. Xi Shenjian just quietly brought this black box into the Akita family, and Xiao Jing can use the repeater to hack into all electronic devices within 10 meters, including the mobile phones of the Akita couple and Akita Nobuko.

In addition, Officer Takagi also sent Xiaojing other supporting equipment to improve the efficiency of hacking work.

In other words, Xi Shenjian's verbal attempt to obtain information from the Akita couple was a false move, and the real means was to use hacking technology.

If it weren't for a difficult case like "Bully Butcher", Officer Takagi would never take the risk of lending this thing to civilian hackers.

However, the information obtained through this hacking method is too much and too complicated, and the two need to sort it out slowly after returning. "Speaking of which, the hacker is the neighbor girl who received your help before~" Xi Shenjian turned the car engine and prepared to go to the next location:
"I didn't expect her to be so capable. If I had known, I would have interacted with her more. Maybe I could have trained her to be my next hacker partner."

"Forget it. I don't want her to abuse this ability. It could be dangerous." Jiuzhou Cheng refused calmly.

"That's right. After all, she is just an ordinary high school student. She shouldn't be asked to bear too much." Xi Shenjian expressed his understanding.

Soon, the two came to the second house, this time it was Gao Yuyou's house.

Compared with the first family, the Gao Yu couple obviously did not welcome Xi Shenjian's arrival, nor were they willing to talk more about these topics.

"We have never heard of the [Bully Butcher], and the deaths of those two children have absolutely nothing to do with us." These were Mr. Gao Yu's original words, and his tone was very aggressive:
"But if you ask me, the deaths of those two children were really gratifying. This is karma!"

The Gao Yu family really hated them. After all, their child is still suffering from depression. Xi Shenjian stood up and said calmly:
"I'm sorry for forcing you to talk about some topics you don't want to mention. I'll stop asking questions here. I hope your child can recover soon."

"Hehe, I wish my child could recover because of your self-evident blessing~" Mr. Gao Yu replied sarcastically.

"Dad, please say less," Mrs. Gao Yu advised her husband, bowed to Xi Shenjian and said, "Please go slowly, Mr. Officer."

"."

"Okay, it's time to go to the next one." Xi Shenjian got in the car and started the engine.

"How do you feel after talking to them?" Jiuzhou Cheng asked.

"If I had a preconceived idea, I would definitely suspect that [Bully Butcher] had contact with their family." Xi Shenjian analyzed:
"But when I talked to them about this case, I clearly felt that they had a sense of leisure and a sense of being out of the matter, so they should not be direct or indirect participants in the murder."

"But what they said should be sincere." Jiuzhou Cheng leaned back in the passenger seat: "The death of Mizhi and Ushimura is actually good news for them."

"But the Gao Yu family is already so resistant to this topic, I wonder what the Baichuan family will do?" Xi Shenjian sighed worriedly and began to complain:
"It's so annoying. We are made to look like accomplices of the bullies!"

Despite their complaints, they still came to Baichuan's house, and everything was just as Xi Shenjian worried—

"We don't want to talk about this topic anymore! Please go back!" After just over ten minutes of chatting, Mrs. Baichuan, who received him, was like a powder keg that had exploded. She sternly asked Xi Shenjian to leave.

Haoji Baichuan, their child has been a useless person at home because he was bullied in middle school. So once the relevant topics are mentioned, it is equivalent to stepping on the minefield of Baichuan family.

Seeing that Madam Baichuan had ordered them to leave, Xi Shenjian was planning to end the topic forcefully, but he had only been communicating with her for more than ten minutes.

This little amount of time is not enough for Xiaojing to complete the hacking work.

Jiuzhou Cheng, who was waiting in the car, also became anxious. He quickly sent a message to Xiao Jing: "How long will it take you?"

"It will take at least five minutes, Brother Cheng!" Xiao Jing was also busy, typing on the keyboard.

"Mr. Xi Shen, it will take another five minutes." Jiuzhou Cheng sent a message to Xi Shen Jian using his mobile phone.

"." Xi Shenjian looked at the message, then looked up at Mrs. Baichuan who was full of anger, and curled his lips in embarrassment:

"Mrs. Baichuan, I know this topic makes you uncomfortable, but this is a matter of life and death after all. Please cooperate with us."

"Human life is at stake?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Baichuan suddenly revealed a sarcastic expression, but the anger on her face did not diminish at all.

She stared at Xi Shenjian for five seconds, then asked, "Have you heard of the Don Quixote Game?"

"Don Quixote game, what is that?" Xi Shenjian asked in confusion.

"A student will play Don Quixote, holding a plastic umbrella as a spear and riding a bicycle as a horse, charging towards the windmill." Mrs. Baichuan folded her arms and said:

"Another student was forced to act as a windmill and stand still until he was thrown out by the other student with an umbrella."

"How cruel! This is simply not human!" Although Xi Shenjian has handled many commissions related to school bullying, this is the first time he has heard of such a cruel bullying game.

"My child is the one who is often used as a windmill by those two little devils." Mrs. Baichuan suddenly gritted her teeth and continued, "If you don't obey, you will be beaten more severely by them."

"Hmm" Xi Shenjian stood there speechless.

"So, Mr. Officer, when you talked to me about these topics in such a condescending manner and pretended to care about my child, I just felt disgusted." Mrs. Baichuan's eyes showed hatred:
"Those two little devils, it would be a great relief if they died, but you took the trouble to investigate for them. On the contrary, my child has become like this, but you police officers only know how to perfunctorily handle the matter."

"I know, it's because of the family background of those two demons! I've inquired about it, and they are the children of a congressman and the children of some religious cadre. So you hypocrites who claim to be righteous can feel at ease to treat them differently~"

There was an obvious tearful tone in Mrs. Baichuan's words.

"."Xi Shenjian was silent for a long time and really couldn't say a word.

He is not a policeman, so these insults have no effect on him, but they still make him feel sad.

"You know what? When I told my child yesterday that the two little devils were dead, he finally walked out of the room for the first time!" Mrs. Baichuan suddenly covered her face and said in pain:
"For so many years, he didn't even want to leave his room and stayed inside all the time. Can you police officers do this miracle?!"

"." Xi Shenjian looked at her frustratedly, and after hesitating for a long time, he said: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry"

"What's the point of saying these nice words now?" Mrs. Baichuan said without any appreciation: "You are not apologizing from the bottom of your heart anyway, you are just saying some polite words."

"." Xi Shenjian's scalp tingled and he didn't want to stay any longer.

[Done, Mr. Xi Shen!] Fortunately, at this time, he saw the message sent by Jiuzhou Cheng.

"Well, I'm really sorry. I'm also very happy that your child is willing to leave the room." Xi Shenjian lowered his eyes and comforted him:

"In fact, I have tried my best to handle many bullying-related cases and helped many victims. But I cannot deny that my personal power is too weak and the number of people I can save is limited."

"If I had known about Baichuan's situation earlier, my partner and I would definitely help him. I'm so sorry."

After saying this, Xi Shenjian left the Baichuan family sadly as if all his strength had been drained away.
