When they heard the murderer's motive from Hakuba, the Suzuki family became visibly nervous.
Because the Suzuki Foundation is the largest sponsor of this World Expo, many of its subsidiaries also sponsor.
"You're right."
James continued expressionlessly: "After we arrested Ishihara Makoto, he still refused to admit his crime in the face of conclusive evidence, and eventually died of illness in prison."
"But in fact, 11 years ago we caught another imitator who imitated the kidnapping case 15 years ago."
"He personally admitted that he was an accomplice in the sponsor's kidnapping case 15 years ago and was also an accomplice of Makoto Ishihara."
Hearing James' statement, Baima Tan's eyes were a little shocked.
"Is this it? I've never heard of this..."
"It's a judicial transaction."
Yusaku Kudo continued: "The FBI made a judicial deal with the imitator. On the condition that he confessed his accomplices in other cases, he would not be disclosed to the public as one of the prisoners in the sponsor's kidnapping case."
"However, this has also resulted in a small number of people outside still doubting this case, believing that the FBI arrested the wrong person and that Ishihara Makoto was not the murderer."
"The sponsor kidnapping case of this World Sports Games is very similar to the case 15 years ago. It can be considered that it was done by someone who was dissatisfied with the outcome of the case 15 years ago..."
Since all the events that occurred during this World Expo may be related to the organization's plan, Kudo Yusaku and the FBI are paying close attention to this kidnapping case.
As soon as the news of President Suzuki's kidnapping came out, the FBI had already locked the case into being related to the kidnapping case 15 years ago.
Coupled with Kudo Yusaku's reasoning, there is also a suspect.
It's just that we don't have the strongest evidence yet, so we can't make an arrest directly.
"But since the prisoner is dissatisfied with the outcome of the case 15 years ago, he will inevitably find someone..."
"And this person is the prisoner's real target."
Kudo Yusaku said.
…
Pacific buoy.
During the two days he stayed in the deep sea, Qin Zhibo had a general understanding of the creation of the Pacific Buoy Project.
Due to the frequent occurrence of cases around the world and the significant increase in crime rates compared to 10 years ago, ICPO began preparing for this plan very early.
This plan has been joined by most countries in the world. In the future, when the plan is fully completed, all member countries will establish branches and can use this monitoring system after applying.
This is equivalent to a high-end version of "Prism", which will be heavily invested in criminal investigations and anti-terrorism operations in the future.
During these two days of work, Hiroki Sawada not only assisted Dr. Ari to increase the speed of building server channels, but also specially built an enhanced firewall system.
This is also to avoid organizations using the means of Internet attacks.
On the night before the global monitoring system was officially put into operation, and also the day before the official opening of the World Sports Expo, the Pacific buoy began to connect to the Europol monitoring center for the first time.
"After one minute countdown, make the first connection!"
Director Makino stood directly in front of the big screen in the main control room and solemnly announced.
Following his order, the operators at all levels located around the main control room, as well as the four operators at the main console, quickly operated on the keyboard.
Qin Zhibo, Kuroda Hei and the Akai family stood behind Director Makino, looking up at the countdown on the big screen.
When the countdown reached zero, a long progress bar appeared simultaneously on the six huge screens hanging on the central column. The background of the progress bar is an animation of the process of countless fiber optic cables converging into Pacific buoys from all over the world.
It's just that the speed of this progress bar is quite slow, and the numbers in front of the percent sign are even separated to the last three decimal places.
After all, all police surveillance cameras in Europe and even past surveillance data are connected to the server of the Pacific buoy from the European Surveillance Center.
The magnitude of this data circulation is comparable to the traffic of all color websites in the world combined.
At this moment, Dr. Ali approached the microphone of the main console and said: "Hiroki, you can start accelerating..."
"Yes, doctor."
Hiroki Sawada's serious childlike voice echoed in the main control room.
Immediately afterwards, the progress bar on the large central screen suddenly flashed, and the rising speed of the progress bar suddenly doubled.
At the same time, the power consumption of the entire server area also increased sharply.
In the living area of the Pacific Buoy, in the clean white corridor, the lights on the ceiling flickered.
After a while, the server channel construction efficiency reached the extreme.
After less than 3 minutes, the progress bar rose to 100%.
"Completion is 100%, the European Monitoring Center monitoring system has been connected to the server."
Following Hiroki Sawada's announcement, everyone in the control room relaxed their tense shoulders and leaned on their chairs and breathed a sigh of relief.
Numerous small surveillance windows instantly popped up on the large central screen, each of which corresponded to a surveillance camera located in Europe.
"Yeah!"
"Wow——!"
"Success!"
Staff members from all over the main control room let out thin cheers, which could be regarded as celebrating this staged victory.
At this time, Director Makino clapped his hands and announced: "Everyone will rest for 15 minutes, and then continue to test various functions."
The server entered standby state, and the people in the main control room also entered a rest state.
Akai Mutake turned to look at Director Makino and asked: "Testing various functions, do you mean the face recognition system?"
"Yes."
Makino nodded and explained: "In addition to the face recognition system, there is also the 'cross-age recognition system' developed by Naomi."
"With this system, we can estimate the aging of facial bones and the appearance of youth, use CG to create a facial model, and then use facial recognition to search for people with the same face."
"Of course, I have heard about what you are searching for. Because the search scope this time is global, we have to wait until the system is officially completed tomorrow before we can start testing..."
Director Makino had received orders from above before and knew that the purpose of Qin Zhibo and others' coming here was not only to help defend the Pacific buoy, but also to use this system to search for a group of special prisoners.
Although Makino didn't know exactly what kind of prisoner he was and needed ICPO to use this system immediately, he naturally didn't dare to neglect it.
On the other side, Naomi walked to Dr. Agasa's console and praised him: "As expected of Dr. Agasa, he was able to fully master this operating system so quickly..."
"And Hiroki Sawada, he is indeed the world's first artificial intelligence AI!"
"It's a pity that if you are still alive now, we can meet..."
Speaking of this, Naomi's eyes showed a trace of regret.
