Chapter 247: I don't understand the national conditions
9 p.m., City Police Department.
"No! This is impossible!"
With handcuffs on his hands, Steve slumped in a chair, looking at a piece of paper in front of him, his face bloodless.
That is the copied data in his mobile phone...
It includes chat records between him and the second officer, text messages about financial transactions, and even photos and auction information of many precious cultural relics.
In the face of irrefutable evidence, Steve knew that no matter how much he tried to quibble, it would be of no use.
But he couldn't figure out how the police in China could crack his phone in just one day without providing the password himself...
Damn it, what else does that idiot technical consultant guarantee that even if we hire foreign aid, it will take at least a month?
Now I am acting like an idiot by looking for connections behind my back to create public opinion and put pressure on the police!
What a cheat!
The lawyer beside him couldn't help but shake his head, looking helpless.
What are you still struggling with? The evidence is conclusive. Don’t think about extreme pressure. Let’s think about how to compromise and gain people...
"Everything is possible!" Wang Zhaoping said with a smile that suited the occasion.
Then turned around.
"Xiao Qin, please translate and tell him. Ask him and his lawyer if there is anything else they want to say. If not, just sign the confession!"
When Qin Xiaoru finished translating, Steve's head immediately shook like a rattle.
"No! I will never sign the confession! You are making a false accusation, and these evidences are all false!"
It seemed that he had anticipated the other party's reaction.
"It doesn't matter. Even if you don't plead guilty, you will still be prosecuted. Today we are just following the procedure to notify you and take you away!"
Waiting for Steve, who looked ashen, to be taken back to prison.
The lawyer suddenly stopped Wang Zhaoping who was about to leave.
"Um, Officer Wang, can you please take a moment to speak."
Wang Zhaoping looked at the Chinese lawyer in front of him who wore gold-rimmed glasses, was elegant and dressed like an elite, and seemed to be able to discern the other party's little thoughts.
Without criticizing him, he nodded with a smile and followed the other person out of the room to a more remote corner.
The lawyer looked around to make sure no one was around and then whispered.
"Officer Wang, Steve is a British aristocrat and the captain of a world-renowned luxury cruise ship. His status is extraordinary, both domestically and internationally.
In fact, the problem is very simple. It's just that some criminals have taken advantage of the convenience of cruise ships to smuggle cultural relics.
You see, the cultural relics have been recovered, and your credit has been confirmed.
Therefore, whether Mr. Steve is involved, whether there is one more prisoner or one less prisoner, it has little impact on the whole case and you. It does not affect the case at all.
But once this matter is publicized... it will cause great reputational damage to Mr. Steve's family, the operating company of the Carnival Dream cruise ship, and even Great Britain.
This will have a negative impact on the friendship between our two countries.
Therefore, Minister Brown, the Steve family and many other foreign friends have asked me to bring you a message.
As long as Officer Wang can be accommodating, Great Britain and the Steve family will be rewarded generously!"
"hehe!"
Looking at the man with a meaningful smile, Wang Zhaoping immediately smiled.
Sure enough, this is too hard to be soft.
"I understand, but what you said is too straightforward. Even if I agree, I can't just tell you directly!
You have been in the West for too long, and you don’t understand the national conditions at first glance.
In this country, you can’t be too direct, you have to be subtle!
You know how in my grandfather’s generation people used to implicitly say ‘I’ve been bought’?”
The lawyer's eyes lit up when he heard this.
There seems to be a way!
"Appreciate further details!"
"They usually say...'The Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message'!"
lawyer:"……"
"you……"
After reacting for a long time, you finally realized that the other party was mocking you. The lawyer's face immediately turned red. You were speechless for a long time and walked away angrily on the spot!
"Bah!" Wang Zhaoping spat at the man's back.
Are you trying to bribe me on my territory?
The traitor who eats everything inside and outside!
Are you still talking about reputation with me?
They used to be robbers, but now they are thieves. The only praiseworthy reputation of British nobles is that ladies are given priority, right?
"Captain Wang, sent him away? What did he tell you?" Qin Xiaoru saw this and walked over.
"It's embarrassing, so I just want to buy whatever I need, huh! If I still want to cover it up, I have to let everyone know the faces of these capitalists who always claim to be aristocrats!
By the way, is the other party releasing news outside to put pressure on us?"
"Well! The news has not caused much reaction in the country, but the video of us forcibly boarding the ship and arresting people has been circulated on the Internet, and the popularity is rising quickly.
Some people also compared this incident with the previous "Galaxy" incident in an attempt to exaggerate our aggressive wolf warrior diplomacy.
It seems like the other party is exerting influence on public opinion."
"Hmph! Let them publicize it. The higher the praise, the worse the fall!
The chain of evidence in our hands is complete, and the bureau is almost ready to issue a report. Then we will see who is embarrassed!
By the way, are those reporters still there? If they are, ask them to come in and promote it together!"
"Hehe! Captain Wang, you are too bad, but it's too late. People had already escaped after receiving the news.
After all... there is no market for our news if they don't force it..."
Qin Xiaoru smiled and told a helpless reality.
It is an indisputable fact that the West controls international public opinion and has been vilifying China for a long time.
Although China has begun to pay attention to the importance of grabbing public opinion positions in recent years, it takes time for the influence of media mouthpieces to spread.
It will also take time to reverse the inherent impression left by the West on the people...
"Huh~ Anyway, this matter is basically settled, and we can hand over the work! Tomorrow is the weekend, and I finally don't have to work overtime."
Wang Zhaoping rubbed the dark circles under his eyes. He really hadn't had much rest in the past two days.
Although I had a great time doing it, I was really exhausted!
"By the way, Captain Wang, after the boss found out about this, he just contacted me and wanted a detailed technical information on cracking Fruit X.
In addition, several provincial units who heard the news said that they are currently experiencing several similar cases of eucalyptus and hope to receive our technical support.
What do you think I can do to support this?
Anyway, you are the one who caused this, so you can find a way to wipe your own ass." Qin Xiaoru spread her hands.
"This... nose is really smart!"
Wang Zhaoping's newly relaxed mood became tense again, and he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
"Are you sure that the USB drive is really unrecoverable?"
"No, the prompt box has already said that it is a 'temporary decryptor for Fruit X'.
At that time, I was still wondering what temporary means. It turns out that doing it for a long time is a one-time thing!
By the time I had a way to open it, the USB drive was already full of garbled characters!"
Qin Xiaoru continued to express that she was powerless.
Ordinary deletion may be able to restore the contents of the USB disk, but there is no solution to the garbled code overwriting.
People are obviously trying to prevent technology leakage.
"Hey, why don't you go find Mr. Meng and ask for another temporary one?" she suggested, poking Wang Zhaoping's arm.
"This..." Wang Zhaoping frowned and muttered.
Oh, that’s not right!
When he came to his senses and raised his head again, he happened to meet Qin Xiaoru's sly smile that showed her treacherous plan had succeeded.
"It's over!" Wang Zhaoping couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Defend day and night, it’s hard to guard against house thieves! I’m still trapped!
"Hehe! Captain Wang, just admit it.
Well, right after Mr. Meng left, you just changed your career and became a hacker. This is not obvious!
Is he the Jingle Cat you are talking about? Is he the one who provides you with information time and time again?
No wonder you've been possessed by Sherlock Holmes recently, breaking the eucalyptus is like a divine help, does this Jingle Cat really have something in his pocket?"
"Don't spread the word if you know it!" Wang Zhaoping had no choice but to say solemnly.
"Yes, yes, I am a person who does not know the importance of things. God knows this and you know it and I know it!"
Wang Zhaoping nodded.
He still trusts Qin Xiaoru as a person, which is why he is not too guarded against her.
Didn’t Brother Meng ask Master Smart to give him a message before?
Beware of villains but not gentlemen!
This woman...
After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy and said again.
"If it weren't for Brother Meng, our last few encounters wouldn't have been so smooth.
You also know that... his paranoia is a bit serious, and he doesn't like to be too high-profile.
If I get a trace of this matter and make Brother Meng unhappy and break off the relationship with me, then I will force you to become a traffic policeman for the rest of your life, do you understand?"
Hiss~ Are you so cruel?
This is more painful than killing me!
Qin Xiaoru quickly swore and promised again and again!
"Also, don't expect me to ask for anything temporary. They are willing to help me once. According to you, the appearance fees abroad start at a million dollars.
You want people to give you technology for free? How much money can you pay?"
"Hey! The boss actually said, if it's below 5 million, buy it decisively. If it's above 5 million, consider it as appropriate.
Hey! Why don't you go ask them if they can sell it, and what if the negotiation is successful?"
Qin Xiaoru really wanted to facilitate this matter.
The most precious thing in this technology is not actually cracking one or two fruit machines, but the unknown vulnerabilities of the "ios" system!
Even Fruit itself is not aware of the loopholes. As long as it does not announce it and keeps it confidential, it can be used almost forever. In the future, there is no need to ask Fruit for help, and the police can directly turn on the machine to collect evidence.
This affects the criminal investigation system nationwide.
5 million is definitely too little!
"This... you can give it a try. Brother Meng has always been easy to talk to." Wang Zhaoping nodded.
"Ding Dong!"
Suddenly, a message tone came.
Wang Zhaoping picked up his phone and looked at it, and suddenly he looked slightly stunned.
It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
However, the more he looked, the more astonished he looked, and in the end it was as if he had seen a ghost.
"What's the matter?" Qin Xiaoru's curiosity arose again, and she looked over to find out.
Wang Zhaoping quickly put away his cell phone.
It took me a long time to calm down my shocked mood, and finally I said it with a helpless expression.
"Wanting to take a vacation...why is it so difficult..."
