We asked you to solve cases, and here you are sharing your criminal experiences?

Eight o'clock in the morning, in the conference room of Jiangcheng Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"Captain Gu, here is the 5,000-word evaluation report you requested."

With two huge dark circles under her eyes, Song Qianxia slammed a stack of A4 papers, still warm from the printer, onto the conference table.

She stayed up until 3 a.m. last night, and her keyboard was practically smoking from typing.

Gu Tingchen picked up the report and casually flipped to the first page.

On the online screen, Xie Lin, who was far away overseas, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Consultant Song, Pioneer Technology's security system was developed by a top international team at a cost of tens of millions."

Xie Lin's tone was clearly distrustful and critical.

"What kind of information can you possibly come up with in a report you rushed out in one night? Don't tell me you just copied a few theoretical paragraphs from the internet to fool us."

Song Qianxia, ​​who was still half asleep, rolled her eyes dramatically upon hearing this.

"A top-notch team?"

Song Qianxia braced her hands on the table and retorted without any politeness.

"Officer Xie, you call that design, which places the infrared sensor directly below the vent, 'top-notch'?"

Xie Lin was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding.

Song Qianxia sneered and began frantically outputting professional data.

"Rising hot air can severely interfere with the wavelength of infrared rays."

"Just take a high-powered industrial hair dryer and blow it into that vent for three minutes."

"That so-called top-notch system will automatically detect the environmental temperature difference error and directly cut off the alarm circuit to enter a sleep state."

The meeting room was completely silent.

Old Zheng swallowed hard and turned to look at Gu Tingchen.

Gu Tingchen quickly flipped through the report in his hand.

This report is very detailed.

It not only pointed out more than a dozen critical security vulnerabilities, but also clearly stated the material types, market prices, and even the time difference for construction needed to fix these vulnerabilities.

This is a level of knowledge that an ordinary netizen or keyboard warrior simply cannot possess.

This requires extensive practical experience.

"Very good." Gu Tingchen closed the report, looked up at the screen, and said, "Thank you, Liaison Officer. This report is very valuable."

"Following the recommendations here, immediately notify Pioneer Technology to carry out emergency rectification."

Xie Lin opened his mouth, but was silenced and couldn't utter a single word.

Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

Xiao Zhang from the cyber police unit rushed in, stumbling and scrambling, almost losing his shoes in the process.

"Captain Gu! Something terrible has happened!"

Sweating profusely, Xiao Zhang shoved the tablet he was holding directly onto the large screen's connection cable at the front.

"Ten minutes ago, the Jiangcheng Evening News' public email address received an anonymous email."

Xiao Zhang reported, panting heavily.

"Not only did they send it to the media, but they also brazenly copied the city bureau's official complaint email address and Pioneer Technology's security department!"

Gu Tingchen's eyes darkened: "Open it."

The big screen flickered.

A letter with black background and red lettering suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The letter's layout was jarring.

The font used is an extremely exaggerated Gothic style, with cheap-looking blood dripping effects on the edges.

Several lines of large characters were written in the very center.

To the foolish guardians:

"At midnight tonight, I will arrive under the moonlight and take away the Pandora core chip from the exhibition."

"Are you ready for this spectacular magic show?"

At the bottom of the signature were two large, blood-red characters: Thousand Faces.

Next to the name, there was even a funny smiley face symbol spelled out with characters.

The air pressure in the conference room instantly dropped to freezing point.

Zhou Zheng suddenly stood up and slammed his fist on the table, causing the water in the teacup to splash out.

"This is outrageous! This is practically a blatant declaration of war against the Jiangcheng police!"

Old Zheng was so angry that he kept slapping his thigh.

"Are these criminals all this arrogant now? Sending out warning letters? Do they think they're Phantom Thief Kid?!"

Xie Lin sneered repeatedly online.

"Captain Gu, this is the uncontrollable factor I've been emphasizing."

"This Thousand Faces is not only ruthless, but also an extremely arrogant madwoman. This provocative behavior perfectly matches her arrogant and disdainful mentality."

Everyone was on high alert, their expressions grave.

Only Song Qianxia, ​​sitting in the corner of the second row, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

She stared intently at the comical smiling face on the screen, her molars practically grinding to powder.

Screw your fancy magic tricks!

Screw you, coming under the moonlight!

Thousand Faces is a professional hitman and underground broker who takes money to do things, not a clown performing magic tricks in a circus!

The truly versatile order takers always operate quietly and without fanfare.

Eliminate the objective, obtain the item, and retreat quickly.

Not even a footprint or a strand of hair will be left.

Sending a teaser? And in a gothic style with dripping blood?

This kind of brain-dead, delusional behavior is an absolute disgrace to her career in her previous life!

A crisp "snap" sounded.

Song Qianxia bit the plastic straw in her hand into two pieces.

A few drops of milk tea spilled from the cup and landed on the table.

The commotion wasn't loud, but it seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet conference room.

Gu Tingchen turned his head and his gaze fell directly on her face.

The girl's eyes burned with fury.

His chest heaved violently, and his hands gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.

The way they acted, it was as if they wanted to jump into the screen right then and there, run down the internet cable, and strangle the sender.

"Advisor Song," Gu Tingchen said calmly, with a slight rise in his voice at the end.

"You seem to have a lot of opinions about this announcement?"

All eyes in the room were once again focused on Song Qianxia.

Song Qianxia quickly removed the half-eaten straw from her mouth and put her hands behind her back.

"Of course I have an opinion!"

Song Qianxia slammed her hand on the table and stood up, speaking with righteous indignation.

"This letter is so tasteless!"

She pointed at the Gothic characters on the screen, her face full of disgust.

"Look at this layout, look at this font. What era are we living in? Still using this kind of 'emo' style website effects?"

"And that smiley face!" Song Qianxia became increasingly angry as she spoke. "It's drawn like someone has an idiot, the eyes are completely asymmetrical! It's an aesthetic disaster!"

Xie Lin spoke coldly online.

"Song Qianxia, ​​is this the time to discuss layout and aesthetics?"

"This is a provocative letter from an extremely dangerous wanted criminal! Can't you focus on something else entirely?!"

Song Qianxia glared back defiantly.

"Officer Xie, as I said before, I'm a casual fan of Qianmian."

She crossed her arms over her chest, raised her chin slightly, and acted with an air of self-righteousness.

"The idol I follow is a mysterious tycoon with high intelligence and advanced technology."

"Definitely not that kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) person who draws smiley faces in emails!"

Song Qianxia gave a cold laugh.

"This letter was definitely sent by a fake. If the real Qianmian did something so degrading, I would unfollow her on the spot and delete her supertopic overnight!"

The people in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment.

This woman's thought process is always so peculiar.

While others are worried about the theft of priceless chips, she's actually defending the public image of an internationally wanted criminal.

Gu Tingchen looked at her furious expression.

A hidden smile flashed in the man's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"A casual fan is so angry?" Gu Tingchen asked, looking at her.

"It's normal for fans to be angry when their idols are attacked." Song Qianxia answered fluently and without any guilt.

Gu Tingchen withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the venue map on the big screen.

"Whether he's a real Thousand Faces or a fake one, since he dared to send the warning letter to the Municipal Bureau, we have to respond."

Gu Tingchen picked up the laser pointer and pointed it at the floor plan of the Pioneer Technology Park.

"Security for tonight's technology expo opening ceremony has been raised to the highest level."

"Zhou Zheng, you lead the SWAT team to secure the outer perimeter. Not a single fly is allowed to get in."

"Old Zheng, you and the criminal investigation team will change into plainclothes and be in charge of patrolling the exhibition hall."

Gu Tingchen issued instructions methodically.

Finally, his gaze fell on Song Qianxia.

"Song Qianxia".

"Here!" Song Qianxia immediately stood up straight.

"You don't need to go to the site tonight." Gu Tingchen pointed to a small room next to the floor plan.

"You stay in the control room of the main building. I want you to monitor all the surveillance footage."

Song Qianxia was stunned for a moment.

"Captain Gu, aren't the cyber police officers monitoring the surveillance room? What would I be doing there?"

"They only know how to look at images." Gu Tingchen looked directly into her eyes, his gaze penetrating.

"And you understand your idol."

Gu Tingchen threw a top-level pass in front of her.

"Since you're a fan of hers, try to guess using a fan's thought process."

"Let's see which mouse hole this idiot who sent the warning letter will crawl out of."

Song Qianxia looked at the pass on the table.

She gritted her teeth and grabbed the pass.

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

Song Qianxia sneered inwardly.

You imposter, you better pray you don't fall into my hands tonight.

Otherwise, I'll chop off your hand that's drawing smiley faces!
