"Did I say something wrong?" Ms. Laura stunned her face, and couldn't respond for a while.
She looked at Joe, Qiao was stunned by coffee, her cough was shocking, and her head shook her hands without raising her head, and then trembled and raised her thumb.
When Laura saw his blushing neck, his cough was almost angry, and he was no longer difficult for him to turn his head to look at Gu Yan.
Then she poured the top, and suddenly realized: "Oh."
It was not enough, she dragged her tone again, "Oh-", and urged Yan Dao: "I am not happy if I pinch him? Is it so vinegar? What about one side? "
Gu Yan originally wanted to say anything, and when he heard that he looked at Laura for a while, he finally nodded with a paralyzed face: "You are right."
Master Qiao cough into lungs.
Professor Yan Da's expression has become very complicated from blank, and he wants to stop talking. It seems to be considering how to speak both sides.
Laura was not enough for the girl to squeeze Gu Yan, and moved her narrow eyes to him.
"..."
Yan Suizhi silently endured this gaze, a little crying and laughing.
"It's over, I was pinched out of the red marks on my face." Laura made a word of death.
Yan Suizhi: "..."
Forget it, pull out the gun.
Yan Suizhi looked back and simply didn't say anything. Anyway, the one who was going to live in the end was definitely not him.
He touched his face calmly. This movement was not embarrassed to do, more like a casual little movement, showing a calm temperament.
Then he lifted the coffee cup in front of him, took a sip silently, and said: "I suggest you forget this scene, for hello."
It's over.
The old Master Qiao, who was finally coughing, paralyzed the sofa like a dog, and his chest was half -dead. He glanced at Yan Sui from half -open eyes, and glanced at Laura, and then he was bee. said that letting the cemetery leave Miss Laura now or not.
Yan Suizhi put down the coffee cup and saw Gu Yan glance at him, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "I feel a little lost."
After speaking, before the other party reacted, he reached out and squeezed Gu Yan's face, and then raised his mouth with satisfaction: "This is balanced."
Gu Yan: "???"
If you say a loss, is there a loss than him here?
Miss Laura, who was bolder, saw this scene and thought that she had been fed with a large mouthful of dog food and panicked. You let me open my eyes, the Warriors. "
"..."
Really warriors always ignore themselves.
Joe silently covered his eyes and felt that he couldn't bear it again.
The smart machine suddenly buzzed and shocked the high paraplegia.
He wiped his lips, sat up half -dead, and opened the smart machine screen. The call was the friend who helped check the Hong Kong record.
Master Qiao suddenly regained his energy. His eyes changed, he rubbed his face twice, and clicked to connect: "Hello? Is there a result?"
The other party said: "It's a little bit."
"What does it mean to be a little bit?"
The other party said, "We have built several systems, some from back to front, some from front to back, using precise screening to find, first to finish the screening of the year that Lawyer Ke had an accident. I know you are anxiously waiting. I'll send you some of the results first, so as not to delay your progress. But—"
As soon as Qiao heard this turning point, he picked up his heart, "But what?"
"I think this screening method will still miss a lot, and there are too many ways to mix a bird in." The friend on the other end of the communication tried to explain a few words, and then gave up: "Forget it, look After that, you will understand what I mean."
"I know, as long as there are results." Joe nodded, "I know there must be a lot of ways to mix things up even if you don't say it, but it's better to have information than no information, and it's a little bit to find out."
"Of course it's best if you can think of it this way." The other party explained again: "In the past few years and the last few years, the screening is underway. After each year, I will send you a part, and I will not call you one by one. Now, remember to keep an eye on it and check it out."
Joe said simply, "Okay, I've been watching, thanks."
He spoke calmly, but after hanging up the communication, he took a few deep breaths.
"How do you say?" Gu Yan and the others all looked over.
A communication completely diverted the previous topic, and the focus again fell on the scavenger.
The voice just fell.
Joe's smartphone dinged.
"Here it is." Qiao stared at the interface that popped up and said, "He said that he first searched the entry and exit records of the year Ke Jin's accident happened, and there are some things that have been sent to me. I-"
He stared at the interface for a few seconds, exhaled, and clicked on dismantling.
A long row of recorded screenshots and dynamic image files are arranged above the coffee table.
Joe switched the screen to shared mode, and the files began to play automatically in a scrolling fashion.
Records show that at the beginning of January of that year, Decama's entry gate consignment note showed that a batch of 300 gray sparrows had been shipped in. The attribute was meat finch, and the inspection method was screening. The note says it was delivered by meat sparrow dealer Eddie Watson.
Immediately following this record, however, were the precise search results of the images.
In the video, 300 edible gray sparrows are huddled together and locked in a huge bird cage. But at one point in time, the search box picked up one of the 300 grey sparrows.
That one just happened to reveal a piece of tail feathers at that moment, and it could be seen from the piece of tail feathers alone that it was a shepherd bird mixed in with the grey freckles.
Everyone's eyes narrowed.
As the friend said just now, after reading the records, we can see that it is not easy to check the shepherd bird. Just like this video, if there are more birds, it will be crowded a little more, so that the shepherd bird is completely covered. , it is difficult to find this paragraph with precise screening.
As you can see, there must be a lot of missing parts.
This video is followed by another recording.
Records show that the day after the 300 gray sparrows entered the port, someone came to pick up the shipment. The person who took it away was also a meat sparrow vendor named Zhang Wendi.
"No Lee Connor..." Laura said.
"Look back." Yan Suizhi reminded.
Qiao Wenyan immediately turned back.
It stands to reason that the shepherd bird has changed its environment and cannot survive for a long time. That is to say, this shepherd is coming, and as long as it is not expected to die in Decama, there will be a corresponding record of departure in the near future.
but.
The second record had already arrived a few months later, which meant that the one it left the port was well concealed and could not be found.
The record, months later, was in mid-May when an animal-based troupe entered the port of Decama. Most of the magic show parts in the troupe use the most common gray sparrow. After all, it is cheap and in large quantities.
Once again the shepherds entered the harbour mixed with the grey sparrows.
After passing the screening, the entire troupe was brought into the planet Decama and performed in several districts.
Likewise, there is still no trace of Connor Lee among the registered members of the troupe.
"Have you checked Connor Lee's entry and exit records?" Yan Suizhi said, "It's very likely that he has been using other people to bring shepherds in."
Fortunately, Joe's friend also thought of the same situation. After these two records, he attached a copy of Lee Connor's entry and exit times.
Unsurprisingly, he had eight records of entry and exit during that time, and two of them were very close to the Shepherd's consignment time, one was 1 day away, and the other was 3 days away.
Seeing this result, Joe's face became ugly again.
Guessing is one thing, seeing pictures and texts confirming the guesses a little bit is another.
He clenched his fists and almost hit the coffee table. But when he glanced at Ke Jin dozing off to the side, he stopped in time. He cursed several times in a very low voice.
Conor Lee was the scavenger.
This guess is basically not wrong.
But the most important thing is not this, but where he has gone, who he has become, and where he is now, that is the most important.
They screened for so long, not to look at this name in these records, but to let this person, this person involved in many lives, deserve what he deserved.
But unfortunately...
The last record of this year was at the end of the year, around December. This time, it was neither an exit record nor an entry record, but the trace of the shepherd bird was found in the monitoring of the port, and it flew a short distance with the mighty crowd. , resting on top of the metal gate pillars of the port.
It is difficult to find out who the shepherd is following through this surveillance.
The only good thing is that Joe's friend was very efficient.
About an hour later, a new result came. The accompanying information prompt said: The system checked from both ends to the middle at the same time. This is the last year, from January to now.
Qiao opened the file with hope, but found that there were very few things in it, only one recording and one video in total.
Just seeing the pitiful numbers made Joe lean back on the sofa with a sigh.
Laura also "tsk", clearly expressing disappointment.
But after opening it, they found a difference.
This time the shepherds came into Hong Kong without being mixed in with a large number of gray-spotted finch, and they did not do too much concealment. They were just brought in by a person in the name of pets.
The carrier's name is Marcus Bader.
Immediately following the video is the moment when Marcus Bader lifts the bird cage through the gate.
After lossless magnification, Marcus Bader's face is clear.
It was a man of medium stature, with a bland appearance and no special memory. He could be drowned in the crowd in an instant when he walked on the road, and he was a typical public face.
"Just like this face, I can't remember it three times." Joe frowned and muttered, "On purpose."
In the video, Marcus Budd seems to be in a normal mood. He always touches his side face and neck, as if he is not used to it or feels uncomfortable. However, he took care of the bird's feelings very much. As soon as the review was over, he opened the bird cage.
The shepherd fluttered its wings twice, flew out of the cage, circled around him twice, first stopped on his shoulder and rubbed his cheek, as if to say hello to him, and then flew away.
Joe bit his tongue after watching this video, turned his head and started to use this popular face to accurately search the whole network image.
It's a pity that in every corner of the public network, the presence of this man named Marcus Budd is extremely low, and there is no information about him at all.
"Wait a minute." Joe said, "I'll ask my friends from the media to help me with the search."
Laura said, "What the media can get is actually limited. At most, they can find out what has been published, and those reports and images that have not been published but have been submitted to superiors. There are still many that will not be published. If the Internet or are not going to post it on the Internet, they will not be able to find it."
Qiao said again: "Then let's find someone in the file system..."
After he finished speaking, he said helplessly, "But the file system also has limitations."
On the other hand, Gu Yan suddenly remembered how he looked at Yan Suizhi, "Speaking of those who haven't posted on the Internet... Do you remember those two reporters?"
"Benqi and Hexi?" Yan Suizhi nodded knowingly, "I almost forgot about these two. Last time we were at Tianqin Star, we collected a lot of things from their cameras, try it? "
