I was just telling a story, why is the whole internet urging me to turn myself in?

Chapter 96: Feed the clues to the mouth, and let the Defense Agency bite them!

In the underground archives of the National Defense Agency, the air was filled with the musty smell of mothballs and old paper.

The old-fashioned fluorescent tubes overhead emitted a slight hum of electricity.

Su Qing slapped a yellowed kraft paper file folder onto the metal table, raising a cloud of fine dust.

"Sun Minghui, male, born in 1985. In 2019, he participated in the 'Thunderbolt' anti-drug operation and was shot four times and killed in the line of duty during a firefight with armed drug traffickers on the border."

Qin Zheng pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and carefully turned the cover page of the file with his white-gloved fingers.

The young police officer in the photo has a neat buzz cut, a sunny smile, and wears his police uniform in a crisp manner. His eyes reveal the innocent naiveté and passion he had when he first joined the police force.

Qin Zheng ran his finger over the photograph: "Logically speaking, his family should receive the highest level of compensation, and even have someone visit them during holidays. Have you investigated his family's situation?"

"I checked, and this is the most unusual part." Su Qing pulled out a copy of an entry and exit record from the folder and handed it over. "Less than three months after Sun Minghui's death, his parents, wife, and even his three-year-old daughter—the whole family of four—collectively applied for high-net-worth investment immigration and obtained North American green cards. They currently reside in one of Vancouver's premier affluent Chinese neighborhoods, living in a detached villa with a private swimming pool."

Qin Zheng paused as he flipped through the records.

How could an ordinary frontline narcotics officer earning a fixed salary have tens of millions of dollars in cash to apply for investment immigration? And buy a house in Vancouver's affluent neighborhood outright?!

The source of this money cannot withstand any scrutiny!

"His family members all left the country five years ago, leaving no trace. But Sun Minghui's confidential internal email address, JSST-0079, has remained active for the past five years! Moreover, all the login IPs bypassed regular base stations and pointed directly to the provincial capital!"

Su Qing gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with anger: "Director Qin, this is a bottomless information black hole!"

Qin Zheng slammed the file folder shut.

Using the identity of a martyr who shed his last drop of blood for the country as a cover, he engaged in shady activities of murder and robbery!

This is no longer just simple corruption; it's a blatant trampling of the face of the entire Chinese defense system and the faith of countless anti-drug police officers into the mud!

"The family is too far away to be of any help, and a cross-border investigation requires approval from the ministry. Making too much noise would definitely alert them." After a moment's thought, Qin Zheng decisively issued the order, "Su Qing, personally select two absolutely trustworthy people, have them go to the provincial capital in plainclothes. Remember, bypass the provincial department's standard reporting procedures and conduct undercover investigations into Sun Minghui's former narcotics squad members!"

At the same time, on the 68th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center.

Shen Feng sank into the large boss's chair, his legs crossed and propped up on the edge of the desk, swiping across the virtual system panel that only he could see.

Last night's live stream managed to siphon over 15 million popularity points from more than 20 million netizens.

But no matter how popular you are, you only have one life!

Just thinking about how those three dark web assassins rappelled down from the sky and broke through the window last night still sends chills down Shen Feng's spine. He even feels like there's a Barrett sniper rifle aimed at his head from the roof of the building across the street at any moment.

"System! Is there anything that can completely encase this floor like an iron barrel? Preferably something that even a nuclear bomb can't penetrate!" Shen Feng roared inwardly.

The panel flipped through the screen, and a few seconds later, a product icon emitting a dark gold glow came into view.

[Advanced Physical Explosion-Proof Glass Array: Utilizing a composite pressing of carbon nanotubes and multi-layered polycarbonate, its bulletproof rating surpasses the highest military standard. It can withstand continuous fire from anti-materiel sniper rifles and directional blasts of C4 plastic explosives, and features one-way visibility and high-frequency vibration alarm functions. Price: 1000 million popularity points.]

"Ten million?!" Shen Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He painstakingly told his story for three and a half hours, almost drying his spittle, and risked being investigated by the provincial cyber police through the internet to check his water meter, all to earn 15 million!

This broken glass is going to wipe out two-thirds of his fortune?! Is it made of gold or inlaid with diamonds?!

But Shen Feng turned his head and glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window that had been smashed last night and was temporarily patched up with industrial tape, and swallowed hard.

"Buy!" Shen Feng gritted his teeth and pressed the redemption button.

Money can be earned back, but what's the use of having over ten million popularity points if someone gets sniped in the head? Are they just going to send rockets to the King of Hell?!

"Ding! Exchange successful. Ten million popularity points deducted. The materials have been delivered to Jiangzhou Port through legal overseas building materials import channels. All relevant customs clearance procedures, special building materials installation permits, and fire safety registrations have been automatically completed."

Hearing the system notification, Shen Fengkuang's bleeding heart finally found a sliver of comfort.

Although this money-grubbing system is shady, its after-sales service is truly top-notch. It even handles all the legal procedures, ensuring that the Defense Agency can't find any problems with it.

Shen Feng took a deep breath, pulled his legs off the table, and pressed the intercom on the table: "Old Xu, come in for a moment."

The door was quickly pushed open, and Xu Zhengyang, with his left arm in a sling, walked in: "Sir, what are your orders?"

"I just ordered a batch of special explosion-proof glass from overseas, and all the customs procedures have been completed. Contact a reliable construction team and hurry up and replace all the exterior glass on this floor."

Xu Zhengyang was stunned, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Didn't you say there was no rush? How come the customs clearance procedures for cross-border travel are already completed after just one night?!

Furthermore, what level of explosion-proof glass requires special approval for import from overseas?

But he didn't ask any further questions and immediately nodded: "Understood. I will personally lead the team to the port to pick up the goods. During the construction period, I will have grizzly bears and jackals keep a 24-hour watch on us."

Just as Xu Zhengyang turned around to leave, the soundproof door to the technical room was suddenly kicked open with a "bang".

Xiao Yu, sporting huge dark circles under his eyes, clutched several freshly printed A4 sheets of paper in his hand: "Grandmaster! We've found it!"

We actually found it!

"Be more careful," Shen Feng said irritably.

"Master, your 'luring the snake out of its hole' tactic was simply divine!" Xiaoyu slammed an A4 sheet of paper on the table. "Last night, that confidential email address JSST-0079—the other side was definitely a national-level hacker! Not only did they use seven layers of dynamic jump servers, but they also installed a military-grade encrypted tunnel, practically wrapping themselves up like an iron turtle!"

"What a pity, he ran into me! I followed the last time he received Tao Zhiyuan's scheduled emails, bypassed his honeypot trap, and planted a deep Trojan horse in his place. Guess what?"

Shen Feng picked up the A4 paper and glanced at it.

The image above is a complex network topology diagram, and at the very core of it, there is a geographical coordinate accurate to the meter.

"This email address has had three login records in the past 24 hours." Xiaoyu's finger slammed down on the coordinates. "The IP address didn't go through any external base stations; it was all a direct connection to the internal network! The physical terminal's location is firmly pinpointed to the fifth floor of the provincial anti-drug brigade building!"

Provincial Capital Narcotics Control Team!

Shen Feng's gaze froze on that address, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Holy crap! No wonder these guys could wield such power right under the noses of the Jiangzhou Defense Bureau, no wonder they could mobilize so many resources to silence Tao Zhiyuan!

Sun Minghui was a narcotics officer who died on the border five years ago.

Five years later, his secure email account was frequently logged into in the Narcotics Control Team building, where he was directing a series of murders in Jiangzhou!

The chain of interests involved is probably more than ten times darker than the "White Night" he talked about last night!

"Master, what's our next move? Just say the word, and I'll immediately write a worm virus to paralyze the Narcotics Control Team's internal network! Let's teach these rats hiding in the sewers a lesson!" Xiao Yu rubbed his hands together, looking like he was eager to stir up trouble.

In his eyes, Shen Feng's silence at this moment must be because he was planning a shocking scheme that could overturn the entire provincial department!

"Don't be ridiculous." Shen Feng glanced at Xiao Yu as if he were an idiot, folded the report, and casually tossed it into a drawer. "Paralyzing the Defense Agency's internal network? That's a terrorist attack. We are law-abiding taxpayers; we must follow the rules."

Are you kidding me?! Going to the anti-drug squad's network? Do you want to die?!

But since that "crocodile" was hiding in the anti-drug squad, he couldn't just do nothing.

Shen Feng thought for a moment and felt that there was a safe way: "Xiao Yu, subtly reveal this coordinate address and login time to Captain Su Qing. Remember, leave no trace."

Since there are free police officers with explosive combat power available, why bother to confront them head-on?

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood. He nodded excitedly, "I get it! Grandmaster, you're using someone else's strength against them! Let the Defense Agency investigate the Defense Agency, and we'll sit back and watch the tigers fight! Your strategic planning and decisive victory are truly the highest level of criminal aesthetics!"

Shen Feng gave a nonchalant "hmm" on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking: I'm just too afraid to mess with those real big shots with guns. It's a shame you don't use your imagination to write web novels.

3 PM, Jiangzhou Defense Office compound.

Su Qing had just come out of Qin Zheng's office and was preparing to go back to the special case team to pick a few shrewd and capable brothers to go to the provincial capital to investigate.

Just as she reached the corner of the stairs, her cell phone, which she used for private communication, suddenly vibrated briefly in her pocket.

She stopped and took out her phone.

.

An anonymous text message appeared on the screen:

[118 Jianguo Road, Provincial Capital, Narcotics Control Team Building.]

【登录时间：01：15，03：22，04：45。】

As Su Qing looked at the few lines of text on the screen, she felt a chill run down her spine.

No. 118 Jianguo Road! That's the top-secret coordinate of the Provincial Narcotics Control Team!

And these three timestamps—

01:15 was the time Tao Zhiyuan fled last night!

03:22 is the time when the dump truck accident on the overpass occurred!

04:45 is the time when forensic doctor Lao Zhou confirmed Tao Zhiyuan's death at the scene!

Someone is monitoring the login status of that JSST-0079 email address in real time! They've even thoroughly investigated the terminal address!

Who posted it?

The first image that came to Su Qing's mind was that of the man sitting on the 68th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center, drinking tea from a thermos.

Aside from Shen Feng's freakish technical team, who else in the entire Jiangzhou could quietly breach the provincial anti-drug squad's firewall and obtain such precise internal network login logs?!

"Shen Feng—what exactly are you trying to do, you madman?"

Was he demonstrating his power by directly feeding the clues to himself? Or was he using someone else to do his dirty work?

Regardless of the reason, Shen Feng has already put this game right under the noses of the provincial government.

Without hesitation, Su Qing quickly walked down the stairs and headed towards the special case team's office.

Now that the clues have been delivered to her doorstep, she has no choice but to brave whatever lies ahead, whether it be a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire.

The moment she opened the door to the special case team's office, Shen Feng, far away in the CBD, sneezed loudly.

"Who the hell is talking about me behind my back?" Shen Feng tightened his suit jacket and shouted towards the door, "Old Xu! Has the construction crew arrived yet?! Hurry up with the glass installation! My right eyelid has been twitching a lot tonight!"
