Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 142 Emergency

"Digging up 'Xia Fan's' information...hacking into the bank system...tracking down and cracking the police's secret bank account...wait, that secret account that pays Xia Fan his royalties every month and has multiple aliases actually belongs to your police?!"

"Are you police officers kidding me about taxpayers' money? Coming to my house in the middle of the night, bringing me here with a gun and handcuffs, just for something like this?!"

After thinking for a while with a dull expression, Aiba Yui finally figured out the cause of the incident.

A few hours ago, when she shouted in the study, "Xia Fan, take me away," she would never have thought that she would actually be "taken away" because of such a thing.

Using network technology to mine personal information on the Internet is a gray area of ​​practice that will not be investigated unless the public complains.

As a talented young (homebody) girl who is good at network technology, whether it is cracking websites to find fencing manuals, or organizing a large number of Trojan accounts to give bad reviews to "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", including this time of further digging into Xia Fan's personal information out of "excited prey", such things are as common to Aiba Yui as drinking water and eating.

"This 'thing' you're talking about may be far more serious than you think. Please answer my question directly."

But there was no sign of joking in Inspector Higurashi's expression or tone.

"It's not a big deal anyway... Um, isn't the final episode of "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" going to be aired tonight?"

"Originally, fans of the original novel of The Chrysanthemum and the Sword were planning to gather together to start a public opinion war, but because the quality of the final chapter was too good, it ended up in nothing."

"Because of Xia Fan's outstanding performance as Kazama Manye, everyone was clamoring to 'promote' this actor, but I found that there was no personal information on the Internet, so I did a little 'digging'... summarized a document, and created a support website..."

"If I knew Xia Fan was involved with your police, I would never have left that idiotic AI crawler in the background, leaving a trail for you guys..."

Aiba Yui looked conflicted and told the whole story in a halting manner.

The original purpose of digging into that account was to find out whether Xia Fan had any "part-time jobs" in other fields...

No matter how hard she tried, she could not imagine that Xia Fan, a college student, amateur actor and music producer, would have financial transactions with the police's secret account.

The police's attitude of being on high alert and mobilizing a large number of troops even gave Aiba Yui an illusion...

Could it be that Xia Fan, the person whose information he dug up, was not an amateur trainee, but an important member of the royal family? !

"Report, Aiba Yui has basically not left the house in the past month. We investigated the source of her income, and it was all from legal software development. The funds are indeed not connected with Inagawa Group, illegal labor agencies, etc."

At the same time, the latest investigation report came through Detective Higurashi's headphones.

"So, this girl really dug up Xia Jun's personal information out of idol-chasing, and even followed the bank statements all the way to the financial account of Lesson 9?!"

He covered his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The information group of Lesson 9 discovered that the "vest" of the secret account was hacked by a crawler at midnight today.

The information team conducted counter-reconnaissance along the way and located Aiba Yui who was digging for information about Xia Fan. They thought that the other party was a remaining believer of "Akagami" with ulterior motives, so they immediately went to her home and arrested her.

"Inspector Higurashi, come over next door and chat."

Aoi Jinguji opened the door and walked towards the next room.

Higurashi followed closely behind and closed the door with a bang.

……

"Inspector Higurashi, it is because of Section 9's negligence that this emergency situation has occurred!"

As soon as they arrived in the next room, Jinguji Aoi said with a serious face.

"Our negligence...led to...an emergency?"

Higurashi looked confused. "That's right. Xia Fan has been the consultant of Section 9 for only three months, and he has solved several cases, including the 'Toilet Paper Girl', the 'Aragami of Kanda Shrine', and the 'Red God Cult'. His importance to the entire District 11 is no less than that of the Second Line Monk."

"And now, because of the loose information protection awareness of the ninth lesson, the personal information of a national treasure-level psychic who can remove the wild god, which should have been marked as top secret, is being known to thousands of people as the document spreads."

Jinguji Aoi continued speaking with certainty.

"I... I will ask the information team to clear all the remaining copies of the document from all servers and destroy the website that has not yet been launched!"

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, big beads of sweat began to appear on Rimu's forehead.

"No, it's too late! Cloud data can be cleared, but what about the local data on computers and mobile phones? What about those people who have already seen the document..."

"Moreover, the information leaked this time was just ordinary personal information, and it is very likely that more similar 'supernatural information leaks' will occur in the future."

"The identities of those who tried to awaken the sleeping God of the Wilderness have not yet been ascertained. If we do not formulate targeted preventive measures and Xia Fan's identity as the consultant of Lesson 9 is exposed to some 'interested persons', Lesson 9 may not be able to bear this responsibility."

Aoi Jinguji frowned and her voice became colder.

"So, Jinguji Miko, what you mean is..."

Inspector Higurashi wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked tentatively.

"Now that things have come to this, we might as well make the best of it."

"Lesson 9. Set up a special working group to fully disguise and strengthen the protection of Xia Fan's information on the Internet. Secretly monitor subsequent information diggers so that they can only see packaged 'normal information' and resolutely exclude any content related to 'supernatural'."

"As for tonight, ordinary people who already know Xia Fan's personal information must also be managed in a way..."

Aoi Jinguji sorted out her thoughts and spoke slowly.

"Information disguise, protection and monitoring are no problem, but if we want to screen out and manage that number of ordinary people..."

Hearing this, Rimu suddenly felt extremely troubled, and the sweat on his face gathered like a waterfall.

Those who have read the "Xia Fan Personal Information Document" through online channels include a considerable number of ordinary female college students, working women, housewives, and a small number of men. If one wants to "manage" these people, it may cause a mass incident with a very wide impact.

"Of course it is not rigid management, but organized guidance..."

"This Aiba Yui, how should we deal with this according to procedure?"

Aoi Jinguji looked at Yui Aiba, who looked embarrassed, behind the one-way glass and suddenly asked.

"Yui Aiba's case does not involve 'supernatural crime'. We can ask her to sign a confidentiality agreement according to normal procedures, and handle any violations as civil matters..."

Higurashi thought for a moment and said hesitantly.

Although the other party's "cyber hacking" behavior violates the law, it is not under the jurisdiction of Section 9 and can be handed over to the newly established "Cyber ​​Bureau" of the Metropolitan Police Department for handling.

"Civil penalties are too hasty. This person can be used to help us carry out 'information management' work."

"Next, leave it to me."

Aoi Jinguji smiled gently and opened the door to the interrogation room next door.
