Zhao Guozhi sighed, knowing that this was a headache.
Looking back, I still couldn't help but ask Gu Chen: "Then what do you want to do?"
"Looking for candid photographers, we don't have enough experience, which is our shortcoming." Gu Chen paused for a few seconds, and then said: "But since it is our shortcoming, let's make good use of this opportunity to transform these operations that we are not very proficient in into
Our advantage."
"Junior Brother Gu, what do you mean..." Lu Weiwei seemed to have guessed what Gu Chen meant, and she almost laughed out of joy, and couldn't help but said: "Do you want to search the hotel rooms yourself, and then summarize the search experience and share it for free?
"
"Yes, I want to do this." Gu Chen answered with certainty.
Gu Chen was in the police academy before and knew some ways to find hidden camera devices.
But after all, it was a few years ago...
However, the technology and equipment of candid photographers now are much higher than those back then, so it was necessary for Gu Chen to make a comprehensive investigation and summary by himself.
For young police officers, what they want to be exposed to most is new things.
If past experience can be learned from the investigation, then the same problem will not be a problem at all.
If we use these experiences to arm customers and let them have the most basic identification method before checking in, it will be a fatal blow to candid photographers.
Zhao Guozhi thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure?"
Gu Chen shook his head.
"Then can you do it well?" Zhao Guozhi asked again.
Gu Chen nodded.
"Then do it your way. I'll give you... five days. You give me five days to finish this matter."
Zhao Guozhi actually wanted to say seven days, but due to the pressure of public opinion, and the candid shooting incident in Jiangnan City, it took only one or two days, so seven days may not be effective.
Gu Chen did not answer the call immediately, but turned around and asked Xiao Yang: "Brother Xiao, are there any hotels in your jurisdiction where secret photography is serious?"
"Yes." Xiao Yang said immediately: "The ones we investigated before were more serious, and the equipment hidden in their hotel rooms was very secretive, which cost us a lot of time."
Gu Chen nodded and asked Master Xi: "What about Senior Sister Wu's situation?"
"There are more hotels over there where this phenomenon exists." Wu Meixi took a sip of water and continued: "We know that there are more than a dozen hotels where candid photos are taken."
Gu Chen nodded, turned to Zhao Guozhi and said, "Then give me three days."
"Three...three days?" Before Zhao Guozhi could answer, Officer Wang said calmly: "Gu Chen, you have to think clearly. Director Zhao gave you five days, which is very tight. You actually want to
Three days? Are you crazy?"
"Okay, I'll give you three days." Zhao Guozhi responded directly to Gu Chen's request without caring about Officer Wang's face.
"But Bureau Zhao, three days is too long..."
"What's Tai? You need to have a sense of time urgency, you know? Xiao Wang, I find that you lack Gu Chen's decisive attitude in doing things."
Zhao Guozhi didn't wait for Officer Wang to finish speaking, and directly criticized and educated him again.
Officer Wang: "..."
"Okay, okay." Officer Wang said with a straight face, even more in disbelief: "Then just do charity for our branch. It seems that there will be no rest in these three days."
Working with Gu Chen, Officer Wang was still in a confused state.
Zhao Guozhi said: "Since the third group is willing to take over the task, I also hope that other departments can actively cooperate and provide certain help and coordination to the third group when necessary. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Everyone responded cheerfully.
But privately, most people did not believe that Gu Chen, a young policeman, could solve all problems within three days.
You must know that this phenomenon rooted in Jiangnan City is not as simple as a day or two.
Three feet of ice cannot be frozen in one day...
Returning to the office of Group 3, Officer Wang picked up the thermos cup and took a few sips of wolfberry tea. He felt extremely depressed.
"Old Wang, are you trying to choke yourself to death?" Officer Ding, who was stunned, couldn't help but ask.
Officer Wang pulled Officer Ding and cried bitterly: "If I don't choke to death, I will be angry to death. You said that we should deal with such things as secret photography, which is shunned by the world. Why did our three groups get involved?"
"Is there any work to do?" He Junchao asked.
"It's not bad. The key people, Xiao Yang and Xi Ye, who are so capable, can't solve this problem. How can we, a small criminal investigation team three, solve it? This requires a lot of energy, okay?"
Seeing that everyone was stunned on the spot, Officer Wang said again: "I won't say anything if this is all, but Bureau Zhao gave us five days. Five days are already very tight, but Gu Chen actually only asked for three days.
Comrades, do you know what it means to completely manage the task in three days?"
"Five days can be tolerated, but three days... it's really difficult." An old comrade couldn't help complaining.
Officer Wang snorted coldly: "Three days are just a matter of catching up on the ducks. If it doesn't work, the whole three groups will suffer."
"Old Wang, you are not kind." Lu Weiwei said with disdain: "If you hadn't dumped the blame on Junior Brother Gu, would he have agreed?"
"Besides, you also know that Junior Brother Gu will take the initiative to take on any task you give him. Since Junior Brother Gu has shouldered this heavy burden, we are in the same boat. Only by working together can we solve the problem."
"Senior Sister Lu is right. If someone else asked me how long it would take, I would probably say three days." Gu Chen paused, looked into Officer Wang's eyes, and said, "In fact, we need to solve this problem.
It is not difficult. Investigate and deal with more companies and accumulate more experience. This is our first task."
"I asked Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Sister Wu just now. They both said that the hotels in the two jurisdictions are the hardest-hit areas and difficult to investigate and deal with. So we will start with the hotels in the jurisdiction of these two police stations and focus on rectification first..."
Officer Wang was a little panicked when Gu Chen saw him, and said: "Gu Chen, you have never participated in such an operation, can you guarantee that you are more capable than Xiao Yang and Xi Ye in solving the problem of candid photography?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Officer Wang has also been stepped on by Xiao Yang and Xi Ye for many years, and has always had a low self-esteem. Officer Wang knows better than Gu Chen how capable these two people are.
many.
As for the topic of discussion at this meeting, it was precisely because Xiao Yang and Xi Ye could not resolve it that they brought the issue to the branch.
Officer Wang feels a little regretful now...
He raised his head and looked around, feeling that it might not be possible to solve the problem in seven days, let alone three days.
7pm.
After dinner, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang drove to a hotel outside the jurisdiction of Xiao Yang's police station.
According to Xiao Yang's previous investigation results, he indeed received reports from residents in this room called Xinhao Hotel and investigated and dealt with several incidents of candid photography.
But there are too few clues, so it is not easy to find out who took the photo.
Moreover, the incident that was named and criticized by Beijing media also happened in this Xinhao Hotel.
After getting off the car, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang each put their police hats on their heads and came to the reception desk.
When a thin young man saw the police arriving, he immediately put down his mobile phone and stood up: "Comrade police, what can I do?"
Gu Chen said: "The last time the police came to your hotel to investigate, they found some hidden cameras hidden in the room. Do you know about this?"
"I know." The young man nodded and said nonchalantly: "Maybe it was installed by other customers. It's very secret. It took the police a long time to find out."
"Based on what happened last time, we came here to check. We hope that similar phenomena will not happen again in your hotel." Officer Wang said.
The man chuckled and said: "No, a tenant must have installed it that time. We have removed it afterwards and this phenomenon will not happen again."
"It's up to you to decide." Lu Weiwei walked directly in front of him, patted the cashier and said, "The hotel, which was supposed to be a private space, has turned into a live broadcast to satisfy other people's snooping desires. It's simply unbearable.
I believe this happened in your hotel."
"Sneak camera, hidden camera, live broadcast...these scary words come to mind, don't you think it's scary? It's simply too scary!"
"Looking back carefully, in recent years, one after another incidents of secret photography in hotels have been exposed across the country. Each time it is frightening, isn't it?"
The man at the front desk, who was frightened by Lu Weiwei's series of questions, swallowed his saliva and said: "Then... what do you want? You tell me, I... I will just cooperate."
"Thank you for your cooperation." Lu Weiwei pushed her hands back, stood up straight and said, "Then please hand over all the room cards that you have not checked in yet. We need to do a spot check."
The man at the front desk was ashamed: "This..."
"What? Do you have a problem here?" Officer Wang said.
"I...I have to call the manager." The man at the front desk looked ugly and said he couldn't make the decision.
"It's okay, we can wait for now." Since they have already arrived, Gu Chen naturally doesn't mind waiting for an extra minute or two.
Picking up the phone, the man at the front desk turned sideways and said in a low voice: "Manager, the police came over tonight and said they wanted to check our room. Yes, they want to do a spot check to see if there is any camera equipment in our hotel room."
"What? Then... okay then." After hanging up the phone, the man said, "Wait a moment, I'll get you the room card right now."
After a while...
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang took their room cards to the second floor. This is the accommodation area. There are a total of twenty rooms, and five of them are occupied.
In order not to disturb the residents, everyone can only start with the fifteen vacant rooms.
"Beep...click!" The first room was opened with the room card, and several people walked in.
This is a small standard room, not big, and the decoration is quite satisfactory.
After the three of them briefly searched the room, Officer Wang said: "It's nothing special. It's a pretty decent room with a pretty decent layout."
"Old Wang, you will die if you take it seriously. We are not in a hurry now." Although Lu Weiwei said this, she was actually very anxious.
The reason is very simple. Gu Chen was right to choose a hotel with a high incidence of candid shooting incidents to investigate.
However, the layout of the hotel is reasonable. Neither Lu Weiwei nor Officer Wang are espionage workers. They are all small police officers. It is too difficult to find them.
However, Gu Chen was different. With his expert-level observation skills, coupled with visual cutting and face recognition skills, the exploratory power of his eyes was much stronger than before.
Wherever you look, green grids will appear, with countless large and small focus points constantly searching for targets.
Not long after, one of the focus points was locked on a small hole in the frame of the TV.
Immediately afterwards, several other focus points also came together at the same time, forming a red halo with the previous focus, and kept flashing.
"Wait a minute, there's something wrong with this TV." Gu Chen took a few steps forward, bowed, and locked his eyes on the small hole.
Seeing that Gu Chen had discovered something, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang quickly came over to observe what Gu Chen had discovered.
"Is this the heat dissipation space of the TV?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Officer Wang also said: "It looks similar, but it seems to be larger than other heat dissipation spaces. Is this what you, Gu Chen, discovered?"
"Let's take it apart and take a look." Gu Chen came prepared this time and had all kinds of disassembly tools. He immediately put the tool box on the ground.
"Wait a minute." Officer Wang quickly stopped him: "If it's not the case, you have to think about it. Can you put it back together after it's been dismantled?"
"No problem." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang was not idle either and said to Lu Weiwei: "Weiwei, please turn off the light first."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei did as she was told without saying a word.
Officer Wang then closed the curtains, turned on the red light flashlight, and shined it on the small hole. Sure enough, he found an obvious red reflective spot.
"It's true." Officer Wang was also quite pleasantly surprised.
When he entered the house just now, Officer Wang checked the side in this way, but he did not find the small hole in the frame of the TV.
Officer Wang also used the simplest red light flashlight investigation method.
Because the camera has a curved surface, an obvious red reflection will appear when a red light flashlight shines on it.
But I didn't find it just now, so Officer Wang was very upset: "I almost missed it."
"Brother Wang, it's not that you didn't check carefully." Gu Chen also explained: "Now the equipment of these candid photographers has been upgraded, and some cameras even use PIR infrared motion detection."
"PIR... infrared motion detection?" Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of detection is this?"
Gu Chen said: "To put it simply, the recording screen will only start when a person appears in the camera."
Officer Wang was ashamed: "Is it so high-tech?"
"It's so scary." Lu Weiwei was also quite shocked.
The two of them had almost never heard of such a thing.
Gu Chen also continued: "PIR infrared motion detection can minimize the possibility of 'dry shots' and greatly improve the efficiency of candid shots. Therefore, sometimes if no one is detected in the lens, these devices will be in a dormant state, so just now
The omission is excusable."
Lu Weiwei's face looked ugly, and she felt worried, thinking that these candid photographers really do everything nowadays.
Fortunately, Gu Chen is here today. Is this a jackpot?
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's take it apart and take a look. Otherwise, it won't be convincing and the hotel owner won't admit it." Lu Weiwei suddenly became excited.
Gu Chen didn't say much, just took a screwdriver and other tools and took apart the TV three times.
But what I never expected was that when the TV was dismantled, I was shocked to find a camera, antenna and memory card hidden inside.
This time, both Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were stunned.
"No wonder Xiao Yang and the others said that it is getting more and more difficult to check for hidden camera equipment in hotels. Who would think of hiding a pinhole camera in the frame of a TV?"
Officer Wang had no choice but to accept it, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said: "Well done, it seems that there is really something wrong with this Xinhao Hotel."
Gu Chen smiled and said: "Now you can call the front desk guy over and ask him to stop the business immediately. We will do the surgery at Xinhao Hotel tonight, and those who have checked in will be checked first."
"Yes." Seeing the results of the battle, Lu Weiwei was also quite excited and said: "We finally caught something. It seems that there is a big problem with this hotel. We must not let these candid photographers succeed. I will go find the guy at the front desk right away.
.”
Lu Weiwei volunteered...
Not long after, the guy at the front desk stood there dumbfounded, looking at Gu Chen in disbelief.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" Gu Chen asked.
"No...no." The guy at the front desk was stunned for a moment, but then quickly said: "Comrade police, this camera is definitely not installed by us, I guarantee it."
"Call your manager." Officer Wang on the side didn't want to be nagging him.
A few minutes later……
The male manager of Xinhao Hotel also stood there dumbfounded, just like the front desk guy just now.
The manager was stunned when he saw that there was a camera, antenna and memory card hidden in the TV.
"Manager, could this be installed in your hotel?" Officer Wang asked.
Faced with the police's questioning, the hotel manager quickly explained: "This... this is definitely not installed in our hotel. It's definitely not. This TV has been installed for seven or eight years. There can be no such thing as a pinhole camera. The camera is definitely not
It’s installed in a hotel.”
"Then how do you explain this?" Gu Chen asked using a screwdriver to hook the camera.
Looking at this thing, the hotel manager also shook his head and said: "I don't know, this... this may have been installed by customers who have stayed in the room before. Some customers often do this, and it is simply impossible to prevent it."
Seeing Gu Chen's stern eyes staring at him, the hotel manager also panicked and said: "Police...comrade police, let's be honest. In fact, in our Jiangnan City, 50% of the stores will have this kind of situation."
"Why do you know so well?" Gu Chen frowned and asked.
The hotel manager said embarrassedly: "I also heard about it in a hotel exchange group. This situation has happened in our hotel before. After that, at the request of the boss and under the supervision of the police, we also conducted a rectification and self-inspection.
, and we have indeed found some, but we are not professionals, and these candid photographers are experienced veterans, so they are hard to guard against."
"50%?" When hearing this data, Gu Chen, like Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang, couldn't help but be shocked. "
If the facts are true as the hotel manager said, it means...for every two stores, one has a problem, which is terrifying to think about.
