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

Chapter 365: Survival is also a battle

"Organized abnormal activities... Doesn't that mean we have found a big fish?!"

"Leave it to me. If you can't get it done in ten minutes, resign immediately and apologize."

Hearing that there was a "big fish", the agent excitedly took the job.

Unlike ordinary hackers who track by peeling off the layers step by step, the Metropolitan Police Department, as a law enforcement agency, can directly require all network operators to open up the underlying data of servers and base stations in such operations and track them in one step.

Aiba Yui, who was a "civilian hacker" a few months ago, has personally experienced how efficient this "water meter checking" is.

……

"Lao Tai, it's just a test of the quantum server port. There's no need to be so scared."

"You know nothing. If the police come to investigate, you don't care. I'm a 'wanted fugitive' and I'll catch anyone I want."

At the entrance of "Tenjin Network Customer Service Co., Ltd.", Lao Tai, carrying a large mountaineering bag, was arguing with Fukuyama.

"Not really. I just rubbed it outside and didn't really go in. It's not against the law."

"It should be some lonely old female researcher who is using the authority to test computing power to help that little idol brush up data..."

The largest order this year was frustrated in the first stage. How could Fushan be willing to let go of Lao Tai, the cheap technology master, at this time? He held the other party's mountaineering bag tightly with both hands.

"Let go. The researchers don't have the authority to mobilize this level of computing power. This must be some kind of official action authorized by the authorities..."

Lao Tai was like a fish entangled in a net. He opened his mouth to breathe, twisted his body left to right, and walked towards the stairwell step by step.

"What kind of official action? Would the government use a national treasure like Fuji to help a little idol protect his reputation?"

"I think you've been in the office for too long and your courage has shrunk. Even if they find out that we're manipulating data, comments, and concocting eye-catching articles, the police won't be so idle as to come and arrest me..."

Fushan hung on the other person's mountaineering bag with both hands and tried to persuade him with a disdainful tone.

Having worked in this business for a long time, he and the law firm he cooperated with have already thoroughly studied the relevant laws and regulations.

Although falsifying public opinion and online data is illegal, the boundaries are vague and it is difficult to define it in judicial practice. With the mediation of the "financial backer", the most that can be done is a fine, and it is not so easy to step on the landmine.

Just as the two were arguing, the sound of uniform footsteps rang out in the stairwell.

Several uniformed police officers lined up neatly and appeared in their sight from the bottom of the stairs...

"Hey Hey hey……"

"This...this is..."

The two people who were entangled were suddenly petrified on the spot.

"Hello, this is "Tenjin Network Customer Service Co., Ltd." right?"

The leading police officer stepped forward and asked with a calm expression.

"S-Sorry, I'm a hiker who accidentally came here while looking for a travel agency. I don't know much."

"I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet. Can you please let me through..."

Beads of sweat covered Lao Tai's face, which was pretending to be calm. He tried stiffly to get down the stairs through the crowd, but the police officers behind him obviously had no intention of giving way to him.

"Identity verification in progress... confirmed to be the legal representative of "Tenjin Network Customer Service Co., Ltd.", Fukuyama Yamato."

The police officer took out the facial recognition device used for search and shone it at Fushan, and nodded.

"Fukuyama Yamato, we now suspect that you are involved in illegal group religious activities. Please cooperate with us when we go back to investigate..."

"Officer, you are wrong. This is just an ordinary Internet customer service company. We are not spreading or creating any false...wait...what you just said is, illegal religious activities?"

Since he chose to work in this gray industry, Fushan was naturally prepared to end up in jail.

But the unexpected charge of "illegal religious activities" made him a little confused. "Sir, please cooperate and identify me..."

"No, it's not convenient for me..."

Seeing the "face recognition device" in the policeman's hand start to point at him, Lao Tai's eyes widened in horror...

"Asshole Fukuyama! I told you, you'd get into big trouble!"

He threw his backpack at the police officer, then suddenly leaped from the top of the stairs, passing over the heads of the police officers below as light as a swallow, and ran down the stairs...

"They don't even dare to do facial recognition. It's just like what the headquarters said. It's a 'big fish'. Stop him quickly!"

The police officers came to their senses and started chasing after him in a panic.

"Everyone, immediately, start the data destruction procedure!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fukuyama ran back to the office and started yelling at the bewildered staff.

"Data destruction? Boss, the big business here is in full swing..."

"The police have come to our door, why would they care about our big business?"

"What? Police?!"

When they heard "the police are at the door", the employees stood up as if they had just woken up from their dream.

"Hurry up and clean up the data! Remember, just keep insisting that you are just doing ordinary online customer service work!"

Having said this, Fushan climbed out of the window, opened the iron plate on the balcony floor, and slid down to the next floor along the "external fire escape escalator" unique to the residential buildings in District 11.

"What? Wait, Boss Fukuyama..."

"This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. We suspect you of participating in illegal group religious activities!"

"What, a religious activity? We are just ordinary customer service..."

"Everyone raise your hands. Any action that hides your hands from sight may be regarded as a threat of violence and may be subdued by force!"

"Is this... a real gun?"

"Take away all the people and pack up all the computers for investigation."

"Handcuffs? They're so tight and painful... No, I haven't paid off my silicone doll installment yet... I absolutely cannot be arrested..."

Above my head, there was a chaotic commotion in the office, mixed with the sobbing of the employees.

"Report, the main suspect Fukuyama Yamato ran down the fire escape, chase him immediately!"

A police officer leaned out of the window and looked down nervously.

"Sorry, gentlemen, but staying alive is also a battle."

Fukuyama Yamato, who fell to the ground in a mess, got on a motorcycle without looking back and disappeared at the alley with a roar.

……

"Agent Aiba, we have news about the 'big fish' you just provided..."

"We found a company called 'Tianren Network' at the IP address site. After questioning the company's employees, we have confirmed that they are suspected of cyber information crimes, slander, and vote fraud. However, because the legal representative Fukuyama Yamato fled the scene, his relationship with 'Amabie' needs further inquiry and investigation..."

"By the way, we also captured the fugitive suspect in the 'Government Research Data Leakage Case' some time ago, former RIKEN researcher Naoyasu Takahara, which was also an unexpected gain."

"The personnel on the scene, as well as the computers and servers, are all on their way back to the Metropolitan Police Department. We will contact you with follow-up information."

At the Section 9 headquarters, an agent was reporting on the mission progress on the phone in Aiba Yui's hand.
