Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 142 Untitled
"Of course, there is another possibility: this woman knew that the surveillance facilities in the old town were inadequate, so she deliberately drove the car into the old town in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos."

Regardless of the possibility, the police have now focused their attention on this woman.

Meanwhile, cyber police traced the users who uploaded the videos to external websites, investigating layer by layer, and discovered some clues.

"We found a large number of newly registered users whose usernames were all random numbers. Each username was used only once and then discarded. We initially suspect that the series of usernames used to upload these videos all belong to the same user."

"The earliest video was released two months ago, and it has been released intermittently ever since, totaling more than a dozen videos."

The cyber police officers copied the videos they found and played them on a large screen.

As the video played, all the police officers present couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines and gasp.

These dozen or so videos document the entire process of the deceased's suicide.

Someone jumped from a tall building, crashing and bleeding profusely.

Some people choose to commit suicide by poisoning themselves. When they die from the poisoning, their faces are distorted, they foam at the mouth, and they are no longer recognizable as human.

Chen Jin felt physically uncomfortable for a while, and covered his eyes, saying in a muffled voice, "Let's talk this out. Don't play the video. Turn it off right now. It's making me feel creeped out."

The cyber police officers hurriedly and frantically turned off the video.

He then said awkwardly, "There are more than a dozen of these videos in total, and three of them were uploaded yesterday alone, including the video of Li Linlu's suicide."

He spoke while operating the mouse.

This time he learned his lesson and instead of playing the video directly, he extracted images from the video and projected them onto the big screen.

"Based on the pictures, it can be inferred that the protagonists in the other two suicide videos were young people of similar age to Li Linlu."

Wei Qingsong looked up and glanced at him twice, her brows furrowing slightly.

While they were said to be around the same age as Li Linlu, the other two suicide victims actually appeared to be younger than Li Linlu; one was a man, and the other a woman, with youthful and innocent faces.
After a long pause, she said calmly, "Li Linlu committed suicide not long ago, and the video was uploaded on the same day. It's clear that the person who uploaded the video is very particular about timeliness."

Lu Jingming's eyes were covered with frost. He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear. He said coldly, "Investigate thoroughly. Also, be sure to find the IP address of this external user."

However, cyber information investigation has always been a weakness of the municipal bureau.

The police officers in charge of cyber investigations had limited capabilities and tried for a long time without success.

Time ticked by, and the cyber police still couldn't find the user's information. They had no choice but to say, "Captain Lu, the person who uploaded the video is too cunning. He used several layers of virtual IPs to hide his real IP address. I really can't find his information."

"All I know is that the website where the videos are uploaded is a niche site for those seeking novelty. The website originated in R country. All videos are free to watch, but there is a tipping function. All the videos uploaded by this user have received high tips."

Lu Jingming knew that everyone's abilities had limits, and the technical skills of police officers were also limited, so he couldn't force them to do things against their will.

Based on the clues gathered so far, we can at least conclude that Li Linlu is not an isolated case.
After the cyber police left tremblingly, Lu Jingming stared at the computer screen with a gloomy expression, his eyelids slightly lowered, casting a shadow over his cold and stern face.

Wei Qingsong spoke up at the right moment, reminding us: "It's understandable that the talent level in the bureau varies. But I suddenly thought of someone who might be able to do things that the technical staff in the municipal bureau can't."

Lu Jingming quickly realized who she was talking about. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "We've had a conflict with him before, so he might not be willing to help us with this."

Chen Jin, listening from the side, was completely bewildered. Forgive him, his brain couldn't quite process what they were talking about, and he had no idea who they were referring to.

He realized that he was finding it increasingly difficult to understand the conversation between Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming.

Indeed, even without speaking, these two understand each other with just a glance.

This tacit understanding and telepathic connection is truly enviable.

Chen Jin was on the verge of tears. He longed to live on a planet without Lu Jingming and Wei Qingsong.

Wei Qingsong thought for a moment and said confidently, "If we ask him for help, he will definitely be unwilling to help, but there is one person who can definitely persuade him."

Before Lu Jingming could react, Director Wang suddenly pushed open the door to the Criminal Investigation Brigade office and strode in.

"Have you made any progress in the case of the suicide video?"

Lu Jingming calmly stood up and nodded slightly: "We already have a general direction."

Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. We must investigate this thoroughly. Such absurd and shocking thing must be eradicated at its root to avoid causing public panic."

Lu Jingming's eyes flickered slightly, and taking this opportunity, he said quietly, "This case may be inextricably linked to cybercrime, but our bureau has been lacking in personnel in this area. I was thinking, could we recruit some people to help us investigate this case?"

"Your suggestion is fine," Director Wang paused, then said with some difficulty, "but temporarily recruiting staff from other bureaus requires going through procedures and formalities. Won't that cause some delays?"
