First of all, it needs to be stated that the mobile phones commonly used in the Tang Dynasty are not high-tech products that transcend the times. They are mid-range smartphones that are relatively popular in the market. The configuration and performance are so-so, and the price is less than 3,000, which is better than ordinary smartphones.
Yes, but definitely not as good as the fruit machine that Jelly Bean is using.
The little girl's fruit machine was given to her by Xie Jianping when she first got married. He was a man of great honor and was very considerate in everything he did. Of course, he would not just give one to the Tang Dynasty, but also gave one to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty accepted it at that time.
But I have never used it since. The little girl explained that she is not used to it and it is not as easy to use as the original copycat phone.
Later, the copycat phones came to an end, and they were replaced by current smartphones. I won’t mention the specific model, as it was not a big brand and would be basically eliminated in a few years.
It is worth mentioning that this mobile phone was Tang Chao’s choice after comparison. He secretly stocked up on several of them. Each one had slight changes in the operating system. The result of the changes was not that they had any great functions.
It can only be linked to a few URLs hidden deep in the Internet, and any troubles can be received as soon as possible.
Among them is the secret email address for weekly communication with Yelian.
That's right, the three vibrations of the phone before and after dinner were all sent from this website, which means that three new emails have been received in the mailbox.
Well, the first two weeks plus last week's are correct in terms of quantity. But the sending time is wrong. Every time Yelian sends an email, it is Sunday night, without exception, and today is Monday...
…
As for the previous suspicions that something happened to Ye Lian, Tang Chao used his weekends to check whether it was from the internal system of the Kyushu Rise Lingjiang branch, the intelligence network of the Park family in South Korea, or his own search methods.
As a result, no abnormality was found. Kitouji has been very peaceful recently and has no planned actions against him or Yelian.
Of course, Tang Chao cannot guarantee that the intelligence information he currently has is correct. After all, the target is the largest killer group in the underground world. Kitouji's intelligence capabilities are definitely not weak, and are even better than most official officials.
The organizational power is even stronger. If you want to carry out some private actions, there may be clues afterwards, but the confidentiality beforehand can still be guaranteed.
This is beyond the control of Tang Chao. After all, he is only one person, not a team organization.
What he can do is to use the intelligence information fed back from various channels currently at his disposal, classify, organize, analyze, deduce, and finally obtain the results. He has already done this work, but the results do not contain anything related to the night.
Traces of Lian's accident.
In addition, he also took the initiative to send an email to Ye Lian. Although it was just a blank email, if the latter received it, he would definitely respond. However, before tonight, he also did not receive any response.
At this point, Tang Chao can guess with high probability that something happened to Ye Lian, but he can only choose to give up and wait and see what happens, at least in the short term. Maybe after some time, he will go to Ye Lian
Let’s take a look at Lian’s safe house on the outskirts of town, but that will happen later.
This approach is not completely cold-blooded and ruthless. It is necessary to be on guard against others. It also has too little information and cannot be acted upon rashly. Acting forcefully will only escalate the situation unknowingly, and may not be able to resolve the situation.
They will get themselves involved, and there are many such examples in the underground world.
Of course, if there is new news now, that will have to be discussed separately. Tang Chao doesn't mind seeing what's going on, just to satisfy his curiosity...
Sitting on a chair in the study room, holding a tea cup, I waited quietly for the computer to finish booting up. This computer was also given by Xie Jianping when I first moved in. It was a supporting appliance, and the configuration was pretty good for this era, at least it started up quickly.
After only taking two sips of tea, the initial screen interface jumped out. Tang Chao put down the teacup and did not open the email address immediately. Instead, he launched several small programs first. He still had to take necessary precautions.
After confirming the security, I logged into a foreign email website through a proxy software. I entered it directly from the background without entering my account or password. Oh, there were indeed three new emails.
He opened the first email and downloaded the encrypted file inside. The formatting marks and everything were correct. It was no different from the one Ye Lian had sent him before. Including that the file encryption method was the one he had taught the other party before. But Tang Chao still
Instead of decrypting it directly, the file is thrown into a self-written program and the scan is started.
This process was very fast. In less than a minute, Tang Chao tilted his chin and looked at the several lines of abnormal code that appeared in the program box. He raised his eyebrows slightly - the file had been cracked before, and it was successfully cracked.
Well, this encryption method is not a flawless fortress. It is just one of several encryption methods commonly used in the Tang Dynasty. But what is certain is that the person who can crack this encryption method will definitely not be mediocre.
hand.
"It's interesting..." Tang Chao threw the encrypted file into another program again, continued deep scanning, and opened the second email at the same time. There were no files in it, only a few lines of text.
But just this few words made the corners of Tang Chao's eyes twitch again and again...
——Hello, senior, I am Xiao Mushroom, an accomplice of Ye Lian, can we establish communication?
I clicked on the third email - ah! Sorry, I'm not an accomplice, I'm a partner. I'm Yelian's partner!
Obviously, the sender is carefully maintaining, or pretending to be, a professional attitude and persona, otherwise he wouldn't say anything about establishing communication and just have a chat... But it's also obvious that,
This persona almost collapsed immediately before it was established. It’s okay not to explain it. Although the word accomplice has a derogatory connotation, in fact, it’s enough to express the meaning clearly. I have to add extravagance and send an email to expose it directly...
With such an off-line behavior, there was no need to invade at all. Tang Chao could follow the network cable and see a familiar figure of an Internet-addicted girl through the screen!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Really, if this feels wrong, Tang Dynasty would dare to live broadcast and drink the teacup next to him directly into his stomach!
The corners of his mouth twitched a few more times, and he ignored the two follow-up emails. Tang Chao moved the mouse, dragged the file that was determined to be free of Trojan viruses after scanning back to the desktop, entered the key, and opened it.
His expression was startled.
It does not contain recent intelligence information about the underground world in Asia... This is what one would expect and is not surprising. What surprised Tang Chao was that the content format of the file turned out to be a standard killer mission model.
The employer is Ye Lian, and the order taker is him, also known as Ghost.
As for the specific content... After about five minutes, Tang Chao finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
As mentioned before, Yelian's former base camp was in Xiangjiang. Because of his involvement in the three missions of the Tang Dynasty, he was chased and threatened by Beitengsi, so he fled from Xiangjiang to Lingjiang.
She has a master in Xiangjiang, Wai Guoren, who was a veteran killer in the last century, and later became an intermediary due to injury. How the two met is not mentioned in the document, and there is no need to say it. All you need to know is the relationship between the two as master and apprentice.
It should be quite profound. It was under the leadership of the latter that Ye Lian entered this industry.
What happened to Ye Lian this time was not because of her own fault, but because of Master Wai Guoren. The general situation was that the latter accepted a single mission, and the target was a major drug lord in the Philippines. The result was undoubtedly a failure.
.
This is normal. Unless you are just starting out, there are no professional killers in the killer world who have a 100% mission completion rate. The same is true for the king of killers Shinto. There are many reasons for this, not just due to strength alone, but also many
Off-site interference factors, such as negotiation and compromise between two forces, or being caught first by a peer, etc. There are many unexpected factors, and no one can guarantee that the task will be completed if it is accepted.
However, the mission killer chosen by Master Yelian really failed, and more importantly, not only did he fail to kill the mission target, but he was also captured by mistake. This is a bit of a big deal. I don’t know who the killer was.
He lacked professional ethics and rebelled directly, but he still couldn't withstand the torture. Anyway, he finally exposed the middleman, Yelian's master.
It's actually not bad that things have developed to this point. Although this situation is not common in the industry, it is not uncommon either.
Not all informed mission targets will kill rabbits, even intermediaries who pose no threat. It depends on the specific situation. It can only be said that Yelian's master is not very lucky. When he encounters a bad-tempered master, he will directly backhand him.
A team of gunmen came to Xiangjiang to eradicate the roots.
As I just said, Yelian’s master is a veteran killer. Although due to his injuries and his age, he is probably no longer able to hold a gun. But whether he was a killer in the past or a middleman now, his industry qualifications are all there.
Well, it is impossible that there are not many back-up players, plus he is a local snake, sitting at home, how can he be easily killed by a few unknown gunmen?
The fact is that the drug lord's backhand operation did not work. On the contrary, the team of gunmen sent out should not be able to return safely.
At this point, the matter should logically enter the negotiation process. This is also the choice of Master Yelian. After all, he is neither an employer nor a killer, but a middleman. This is just a single business, and the drug lord
I don't have any grudges. To put it simply, it's about the issue and not the person - I sent people to kill you, I was wrong, you sent people to kill me, I deserve it. But since the actions of both parties failed, can we just sit down?
Have a talk?
In this way, according to normal procedures, if Yelian's master apologizes and pays a little price, the matter should be settled. From now on, if the mountains and rivers do not change, and we meet again in the world, will we be strangers or have we never known each other?
Let’s talk about it then.
There's nothing wrong with walking around.
But I don’t know whether it was because of cultural differences or other internal reasons. The big drug lord obviously didn’t think so. He directly refused to negotiate without saying anything, and then doubled up again and hired an assassination team in Southeast Asia. Professionals vs. professionals
People, make a comeback.
It is worth mentioning that the assassination team seems to be no ordinary people. On the contrary, it is quite famous in the industry in Southeast Asia, and it is a reputation that has been earned through hard work.
Master Yelian couldn't stand it anymore. Then Yelian found out about this through some way, and immediately set off to Xiangjiang to help, but she probably didn't have the confidence to solve the problem, so she left it to Mu Ling.
If he doesn't come back after fifteen days, he will ask the latter to send this document to the Tang Dynasty...
In addition, Ye Lian should have evaluated the relationship between her and the ghost. As a middleman in name only, it is unlikely that she would like to ask the world's top killer to help, so she will simply do it in the form of a mission and see if it can be done.
This is roughly the situation.
…
"Fifteen days... Since you have cracked it, don't you know how to change the date?" Looking at the last generation time mark of the file, Tang Chao silently calculated the time and couldn't help complaining. Today is the day before Yelian's departure
Only eleven days have passed since Xiangjiang.
Obviously, this was the initiative of a certain Internet-addicted girl. And if nothing else, she was the one who cracked this encrypted file. Well, with her technical level, it would take some time to crack this encrypted file.
Documentation is really not difficult.
Are you worried about Ye Lian's safety? Then aren't you worried about curiosity killing the cat... It's full of flaws. Tang Chao couldn't help but curled his lips again. Having said that, since everything has been cracked, with that person's off-kilter character,
It's impossible to do nothing...
His eyes scanned up and down, and finally landed on the mission commission: one million eight hundred and eighty eight thousand eight hundred...
Why are there still parts and components?!
How lucky is that?!
As if he had been shot, Tang Chao stroked his forehead and leaned back. He couldn't bear to look directly at him.
Let me guess, Yelian should have paid 1.5 million or 1.8 million in this. You should have added the remaining fraction...
In fact, Tang Chao guessed wrong. Yelian offered 1.7 million. She was a professional, so of course she knew what kind of price to pay. If we follow the industry rules, and with Tang Chao’s pitiful work experience in the past, this price
In fact, it is on the high side, even a fraction of 700,000 seems too much.
It was only because Ye Lian knew the strength level of the Tang Dynasty that he gave him 1.7 million. Although calculated based on the world's top killer's worth, this price seemed so insignificant - even if the suffix unit was converted into US dollars, it would not reach the level.
It was half the price paid by Tang Dynasty in the previous life - but this was all Ye Lian could offer.
Then the remaining 188,800 yuan was added by the Wood Spirit Empress, which is almost the entire net worth of this person.
Mu Ling was still very loyal, so she didn't feel bad about adding it. She was just a little confused when she added the eight thousand eight hundred. She wanted to show an aura that seemed like she was going bankrupt, but she was also afraid of offending this person.
Sister Yelian said that there were "senior masters" who were several floors high, so she brainstormed a lot, but in the end, she couldn't analyze anything, so she ruthlessly added... In a profession as dangerous as a killer, everyone should like auspicious numbers.
Bar?
Yes, Tang Chao is right to complain, Ji Li, that’s what she really thinks!
