I can dream about my own death.

Chapter 31 Dark Star Society

After asking a few questions about Jiang Yanhui, Old Zhou smiled and asked, "Officer Li, if you want to find the missing gold, then thoroughly investigate Jiang Yanhui. But do you dare to thoroughly investigate Jiang Yanhui?"

Li Mubo knew that thoroughly investigating Jiang Yanhui would bring in many sensitive figures, and among these figures, there might be someone who could strip him of his police uniform with just a single sentence.

But as a criminal police officer, he cannot be cowardly. If he loses even the courage to seek the truth, does he still deserve to be a criminal police officer?

After a few seconds of silence, Li Mubo said firmly, "I will thoroughly investigate everyone involved in the gold heist, including Jiang Yanhui!"

"Officer Li, I believe you." After saying that, Old Zhou looked at Chen Wensheng and said, "Wensheng, I have a favor to ask of you. That is to report today's interview about Jiang Yanhui without reservation. Only in this way can we possibly convict Jiang Yanhui. Otherwise, even if Jiang Yanhui was involved in the gold robbery, some people will still try to absolve him of all responsibility."

Chen Wensheng struggled for a long time because he was just a reporter's assistant and had no right to demand any content from the company.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Chen Wensheng finally spoke: "If the company doesn't allow this news to be broadcast, I will post it using my personal social media account."

Li Yucheng and Wang Feng immediately looked at Chen Wensheng.

Wang Feng advised, "Wensheng, if you use your personal social media accounts to post work-related content, you'll be fired by the company."

"I know the consequences, there's no need to say more." Chen Wensheng just couldn't stand those powerful and influential people doing evil.

"Thank you!" Old Zhou bowed to Chen Wensheng, then smiled and said, "Finally, let me tell you a story about tilapia."

"More than 20 years ago, I loved eating fish, but I was not very good at it. My mouth and tongue were not flexible enough, and I often got fish bones stuck in my throat when I ate fish."

"When my brother was working in an economically developed city in the south, he discovered that tilapia do not have small bones."

"My brother called me immediately and excitedly told me about it."

"He even spent several days' wages to send me two large tilapia via live cargo transport."

He also said that he wants to open a fish stall in the future so that I can have an endless supply of tilapia every day, and I won't have to worry about getting fish bones stuck in my throat.

"My brother really, really loves me."

"If Jiang Yanhui hadn't withheld my wages, my brother would have had the money for surgery, he would still be alive now, and I would be very happy..."

As Lao Zhou spoke, his eyes welled up with tears, and his voice choked with emotion.

Chen Wensheng and the others felt somewhat heavy-hearted upon hearing this.

Li Mubo sighed, "No wonder you would sell tilapia, a southern fish, at a loss in that small market. I never understood it before, but now I finally do."

"I've said everything I needed to say, thank you for listening. Finally, I want to remind you not to mess with Mr. Nine of Hearts, or the consequences could be dire," Old Zhou warned in a deep voice.

Li Mubo said calmly, "Red Heart 9 is just an information broker who illegally sells information. I will find him."

"That's all I have to say! Let me go back to my cell!" Old Zhou slowly stood up.

Li Mubo nodded, and the two policemen took Lao Zhou away.

Li Yucheng asked, "Officer Li, could you give us a detailed introduction to the person named Red Heart Nine?"

"Actually, it's not a secret, and there's no harm in telling you."

Li Mubo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and was about to light it when he saw that the camera was pointing directly at him.

He reluctantly put the cigarette back and continued:

"The Dark Star Society started as a programming forum built by a group of laid-off programmers."

It's unclear who started it, but someone uploaded a piece of virus code that attacked their own company's server, completely paralyzing the company's network and causing huge losses. In retaliation, the company fired him.

Then, someone gave the programmer money to continue attacking the company's servers, preferably to steal confidential company information.

From then on, members of the Dark Star Society discovered that they could monetize their wealth through this illegal means.

They all followed suit, starting to write various trojans and viruses to attack servers, steal massive amounts of information, and then sell them.

A perfectly good knowledge exchange forum has been completely degenerated into an illegal and criminal organization.

After the police discovered the forum, they immediately shut it down and arrested several suspects.

But desire had already taken hold, and the remaining members of the Dark Star Society spontaneously set up new websites to continue engaging in all sorts of filthy transactions.

Later on, these people were no longer satisfied with profiting from selling information; they began to personally participate in crimes.

Among the many criminal cases committed by the Dark Star Society, the robbery of an 80 million dollar armored truck is the most outrageous.

The suspect hacked into the satellite network and altered the map of the armored truck, causing it to travel on the wrong road and to the wrong destination.

This group of people, without firing a single shot or killing a single person, brazenly stole a full 80 million dollars through a "normal handover."

Because so many people were involved, some couldn't resist the temptation and secretly took out the brand-new banknotes to spend. The police followed the clues by analyzing the serial numbers on the new banknotes and easily cracked the case.

Afterwards, the police discovered that the group of suspects had used technical means to hack into the cash transport personnel's mobile phones, computers, and all other electronic devices, replacing all the information with that of the suspects.

This resulted in the cash transport personnel not having a chance to react and directly handing the money to the criminal suspect.

Following this incident, the police launched an even more severe crackdown on the Dark Star Society, arresting a large number of its members involved in illegal and criminal activities.

However, the Dark Star Society did not disappear as a result; instead, it became even more secretive.

From then on, the Dark Star Society entered its third phase, where members completely concealed their personal information and used common entertainment items such as cards and mahjong tiles as their code names.

No member directly participates in the crime, but remotely controls others to commit crimes.

"I'm craving a cigarette. Pause the camera for a moment so I can have one. We can continue after I finish."

Li Mubo said to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng turned off the camera, and Li Mubo lit a cigarette, took several deep drags, and showed an extremely satisfied expression on his face.

Three minutes later, Li Mubo threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it, and said, "Continue."

Wang Feng turned on the camera and nodded.

"Members of the Dark Star Society not only do not directly participate in crimes, but formal members also rarely meet or communicate offline. They only sell and exchange various information online."

"At this stage, it has become virtually impossible for the police to conduct a large-scale arrest of Dark Star Society members."

"Take the 9 of Hearts, who orchestrated this gold heist, for example. Do you know how I found him?"
