"There is no doubt that Miller's life situation is getting worse and worse. His criminal record is increasing, his prison time is increasing, and his age is increasing...The only thing that is not increasing but decreasing is his probability of finding a serious job.
.
"Facing life, Miller must make a choice...either to return to the right path and wait for death at the bottom of society; or to continue doing nothing and go further on the road of crime...In the end, like
People like Miller, of course, choose the latter.
"However, the evil path is not so easy to follow...
"Miller wanted to join a criminal organization, but he couldn't compete with young men who were more than a decade younger than he was but had a richer criminal resume than he did.
“He even thought about joining a gang, but he is a white man, and there are not many gangs that can accommodate white people, and most of them are composed of racists.
"You know...stealing, abducting and abducting is one thing, racism is another...
"As a highly educated person who once had great ambitions, even if Miller goes astray, there are some things in his outlook that will not change; he can accept stealing, robbery, and abduction... Based on his logic,
This type of crime is an act of "violating the law to earn some kind of benefit." Since he took corresponding risks, invested corresponding energy, and was prepared to pay a corresponding price during the implementation process, he did not
I don't think there's anything shameful about this.
"However, racial discrimination is different... In Miller's view, in modern society, the psychological source of discrimination against innate factors such as skin color, race, or region actually comes from a kind of 'inferiority'
.
"Although there are some people who join the ranks of discrimination because of their growing environment, consciousness control and stereotypes, etc., the most hardcore racists, those who really hate people from a certain region and a certain skin color from the bottom of their hearts.
To put it bluntly, there is a mentality that "you can only find a sense of superiority in your skin color and place of birth".
"They are either ugly, rude, stupid, or weird... In short, due to some innate or acquired factors, these people have no competitive advantage in their own race, so they have an inferiority complex deep inside.
' Gradually accumulated into 'anger', and 'anger' naturally needs to be vented. Just like the middle class likes to hold up signs in front of the government to protest to vent their daily stress, what the racists do is to get together...
By attacking another race, or people from another region... to gain a sense of identity and superiority.
"Miller, who holds this view, no matter how bad his life is, he still scorns these people..."
"Wait a minute..." Hearing this, Feng Bujue was really curious, "Xiao Zuo..." He called Zuo Yan in Chinese, "There is nothing wrong with what you said before, but what you said just now
Duan...are you thinking a little too much? Miller couldn't have kept these clear interpretations of his three views in the recording, right?"
"Heh..." Zuo Yan smiled, "Brother Jue, you asked a very good question..." As he said that, his eyes swept across the other people in the room, "I think everyone here must be more or less the same."
There will be similar thoughts. But please rest assured that my narrative is well-founded..."
After Zuo Yan said this, he took out his own mobile phone from his pocket. After a quick operation, he turned the screen to everyone.
At this time, what was displayed on the screen were several screenshots of comments taken from a certain social media. The pictures showed comments from a user with the ID name "Mr.Stone1962".
"This is..." Feng Bujue said, "Miller's account?"
"Yes." Zuo Yan quickly replied, "Although he did not fill in the complete user information, it is not difficult to find out the identity of the user behind this type of account. In fact, in the United States, since the 1910s,
A long-term network surveillance plan was started. Except for some countries that use firewalls to isolate themselves from the world Internet, most civilians in other countries... As long as they have a certain frequency of activities on social media, their information will be
were captured by a program and entered into a database of the United States. If necessary, Americans can use a complex but very accurate calculation method at any time, based on these people's common IP addresses, registration time, age, hobbies, etc.
Conscious tendencies and other information can be quickly matched to their true identities in reality; those who like to use multiple 'vests' to act online are always the same person in the eyes of the intelligence agency, and their identities are clear."
"Well..." Feng Bujue nodded, "OK... then let's skip the relationship between you and the intelligence agencies of the United States... or other countries, and let's talk about those message records directly.
…”
"I just took a cursory look at it." Zuo Yan continued, "First of all, the ID of this account is taken from the Rolling Stones and the year it was founded. This is undoubtedly one of Miller's personal preferences; and most people with some knowledge
But like a person whose life is not very satisfactory, he used an account with incomplete information in order to publish some speeches online with clear partisanship, unique views, and radical rhetoric. From the content of these speeches, the time of posting, and combined with Miller's crime
Records, it is not difficult for me to piece together this person's character and his life trajectory over the years..." As he spoke, he lightly swiped his fingers on the screen of his mobile phone a few times, and turned to a page about
Screenshot of a "racist" comment, "Look...most of what I just said is actually just quoting Miller's original words..."
"Then you have a good memory." Daost seemed to be really drunk. When he said this, he got up and went to the coffee table to pick up the bottle of "Bud" and refill himself a glass.
"I've already said that I'm a detective, so photographic memory is a must." Feng Bujue glanced at Daost and continued in a teasing tone.
Brother Jue knew in his heart that although Zuo Yan was also a good detective, he certainly had not yet reached the level of photographic memory. If he could clearly write down the content he had "roughly read" and quote it fluently, then he would definitely
It was Vidocq who took the credit behind the scenes.
"Uh-huh..." The next second, Zuo Yan pretended to clear his throat, "Let's continue talking about Miller..." He has never been very willing to accept praise that should not belong to him, so he immediately
Bringing the topic back, "In addition to these speeches on social media, I also quickly read some of the materials and recordings he had while serving his sentence, including the diary he wrote in prison... uh... it's Brother Zai Jue
I saw it when you went to pick out red wine, so I am still deeply impressed.
"In short, I have a relatively clear understanding of Miller's situation over the years and the logic of his actions in this case.
"About... it was about three years ago. Miller, who couldn't join the organization and felt there was no future when working alone, finally found a long-term way to make a fortune after thinking hard..."
Having said this, Zuo Yan looked at John: "That's...blackmail."
