Chapter 117: Peeling off the cocoon
Zero said: "Not yet. None of these news and texts have any connection with the leaked information."

Upon hearing this, Li Tang frowned immediately.

That’s not right. I clearly feel that there is something wrong here.

How could it be possible that number zero hadn’t been found?
"Have you checked the situation of these two news anchors? Are they suspicious?"

Zero replied, “I checked, they all graduated from normal news broadcasting majors, and were then hired to work at the TV station.

In my past studies, I have not had any corresponding study abroad experience, and I don’t have any relatives or friends abroad.

In the end, there was no suspicious income in their accounts.”

Li Tang fell into deep thought. Could it be that he was wrong?
If there was no problem with the announcer, how could Jiang Siyang issue a warning message at that time?

But Zero had checked everything he should and could, but there were still no loopholes.

These intelligence guys are really good at hiding things.

"Zero, has the Security Committee's interrogation of Jiang Siyang yielded no results?"

Zero said: "Yes, Jiang Siyang is a veteran, he knows when to reveal what information, never more, never less.

What's more, he knew that he would not be able to come out alive, so he would not say many things. "

Do you really want to show off your interrogation skills?

Li Tang shook his head. "Did you find anything during the search of Jiang Siyang's home?"

Zero said: "Nothing was found. Oh, he burned something before he left, but the trace expert couldn't recover it."

"There is a code book, no doubt about it!"

Li Tang said affirmatively, and suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

"No, there must be something wrong with the news footage!"

"Zero, show me the three and a half minutes of news!"

"Yes, Dean."

The video was immediately played on the big screen.

In this video, the two anchors reported a total of four news items alternately, but the first news item reported by the female anchor was longer.

Li Tang listened to and watched the video carefully and found nothing wrong with it.

Is it really okay?

His eyes kept moving back and forth across the paused screen.

Until my eyes became blurry and I couldn't make out anything.

Just when Li Tang looked away and was about to give up.

He first looked at the clock on the table within his sight, and then looked at the screen.

Suddenly, his eyes were focused on the hostess's chest again.

There was a diamond brooch pinned there, the shape of which was quite unique, resembling the number 7.

The female anchor did not wear it straight, but slightly tilted.

This makes the downward half stop exactly on the line connecting 1 and 7 o'clock on the clock.

If Li Tang had not seen the clock when he looked away just now, he would never have associated the shape and position of the brooch with the clock.

But what does this prove?

There is no way to prove that this is the signal given by the female anchor?
Li Tang guessed that the brooch worn by the female anchor only gave a code corresponding to a certain fixed information.

比如7或17或71,甚至可能是7点/19点05分,或者1点/13点35分等等,这是从时钟上变化出来的。

Then we see Jiang Siyang, who finds the corresponding content in the code book based on the code and connects them into a usable message.

The biggest problem here is that Jiang Siyang has burned the code book, so there is no way to prove whether this is a signal or not.

"Zero, check immediately to see if this female anchor wore this brooch on her clothes during the half-time news a week before or after that day."

"Yes, Dean. We are acquiring the corresponding video and will complete the comparison in 11 seconds."

In a blink of an eye, Zero's voice sounded again:
"Dean, after comparing, the female anchor did not wear any brooches or other accessories when she appeared on the news during the half-hour period of the previous and next week."

"Zero, check whether she has worn this brooch in any of her appearances in the past month, as well as other accessories."

"Yes, Dean, you need to wait for 1 minute and 03 seconds."

Li Tang picked up the tablet and clicked on it to view the information of the female anchors compiled by Zero.

"Chen Yao, female, born on August 1996, 8 in Wendong City, Zhejiang Province..."

There is indeed nothing wrong with the entire resume. It is ordinary and clean. So far, my life has been smooth and peaceful.

If she wasn't a news anchor and a beautiful person, she would probably be like millions of ordinary women.

But Li Tang didn't think so. He thought of the driver Chen Biao.

His resume was also ordinary and clean, but who would have thought that he had another identity?

The identity system of the Dragon Country really began to take effect probably starting with the second-generation ID card.

This was about 20 years ago, and going back 20 years before this time was the first generation of certificates.

The first generation of certificates has poor anti-counterfeiting capabilities and is very easy to forge.

Moreover, in the 1990s, the identity system had just begun to be computerized, so there were many opportunities for tampering.

Obviously, many identities could have been fabricated at that time.

"Dean, the latest comparison results show that the female anchor has not worn any jewelry when reporting the news in the past month."

"Zero, notify my sister and have her arrange for someone to go to the hometown of the female anchor Chen Yao to conduct a secret background check to see if this person is the Chen Yao listed on the ID card and in the school."

"Yes, the message has been sent."

Li Tang added: "In addition, from now on, all communications, the Internet, and any outings of Chen Yao will be closely monitored.

Start building a correlation database with her as the starting point, and try to find the flaws as soon as possible.

In addition, use the police [Hunter] that the city has just deployed to keep an eye on her every move.

If there is any abnormal situation, please inform me immediately. "

"Yes, Dean, monitoring mission No. 0006 has begun, and the corresponding correlation database has begun to be established."

Speaking of which, Director Xu is really good. He actually purchased a batch of [Hunter], of course, the police version, which is used to conduct police patrols over some blind spots in surveillance in Shangdu.

This forms a rapid response air warning network.

What's more, after a week of deployment, the [Hunter] has captured a group of criminals, and the security environment in Shangdu has been further improved.

The crime rate has dropped to the lowest in the country, and becoming a national model city for public security is a foregone conclusion. Director Xu is very proud of this.

"By the way, did my sister give you the list of people involved in the action plan that night?"

There are two aspects to investigate the leak of Operation Scraping the Bone.

One is Jiang Siyang who received the confidential information, and the other is the Safety Committee who leaked the confidential information.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the leak can only be from Shangdu.

Because those who knew about the operation in Beidu were all in high positions of power, there was no possibility of any leak.

In terms of time, the most likely leak was from Shangdu.

Prior to this, although the secret sentries of the Shangdu Security Committee who were responsible for keeping an eye on various targets were already on the move, apart from being responsible for keeping an eye on the targets, they had no idea when they would take action.

Even if one of them really leaked the information, Jiang Siyang should have obtained the information earlier and escaped in advance.

However, Jiang Siyang and his team received the news only about half an hour in advance.

Therefore, the leaker is most likely among the police, armed police and special police personnel who assist the Security Committee in its operations.

Because at this time these auxiliary personnel have already begun to prepare for the action, the communication tools that have been surrendered or the measures that have restricted the scope of activities will be cancelled as the action unfolds.

Someone might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to move when carrying out a mission and pass on the message.

Because there were so many targets to arrest, the Security Committee coordinated and mobilized police officers from various units, and the number of people was quite large.

“Dean, we have obtained the list, which includes 182 security committee officers, 2023 police officers, 32 special police officers, and 300 armed police soldiers, a total of 2537 people.

A related database has been established, and no obvious abnormalities have been found so far.

However, during the investigation, we discovered some common violations involving nine people, and have passed the information to your sister and submitted it to the relevant responsible units.”

Li Tang frowned.

How come so many people are committing disciplinary violations?
As the saying goes, a fly never bites an egg that has no cracks. Some of these people might have been infiltrated, seduced, or threatened by intelligence personnel from Langley or his allies, thus falling into corruption and leaking secrets.

"Zero, focus on checking all the people who have non-normal work relationships and relatives with these people! Build a related database and search for their keyword communications."

"Yes, Dean. It will be done in about 49 seconds."

Time flies by.

"Dean, we found a keyword communication that mentioned the word 'action'!"
