Chapter 1262: God-level Tracking
“En, it’s actually very simple.” Lucifer explained to Hong Dali, “I tracked a dozen or so short accounts, and six or seven of them originated from the same IP address. This IP address is one of them and is also a Network Access Point. Further up, I found dozens of accounts connected to it. From there, I finally traced all the addresses to a very large organization.”
Starting the trace from a small area and finally coming into contact with the large institution was short-selling was a fantastic idea.
“That’s right.” Hong Dali nodded and smiled. “Things will be easy once we catch the short-seller. Then, en, let me think…” Hong Dali stroked his chin and thought about it for a while. “It’s time for the people’s police to appear!”
Tang Muxin asked curiously, “Dali, your Iron Man is ready, do you intend to have some fun with it like in the movie?”
In the past few days, with all sides rushing manufacturing, Hong Dali’s Iron Man armor was finally ready. The modification of the recently bought extra-long Rolls-Royce Phantom had also been completed. Then, Hong Dali said it was time for the police to act…
It did not seem right, no matter which way one looked at it.
According to the movie script, it should be time for Iron Man to save the world…
“This is a society ruled by law,” Hong Dali said with a grin, not minding at all. “The police are the legal way to deal with crimes. As for us, it’s none of our business…”
“Fine.” Tang Muxin pouted. “Do whatever you want.”
So Hong Dali made contact with Zhao Mingguang, the captain of the Criminal Police Force. Now that he had found the organization that maliciously manipulated the stock market, it was best that the police took over—mainly, it was easier for him to mobilize the police all over the country. If they could get evidence…
“Hey, Captain Zhao. It’s me, Hong Dali.” Hong Dali took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Mingguang, chucking. “What are you busy with? I recently discovered something, and I don’t know if Captain Zhao might be interested in it. En, yes, it’s about the stock market… oh, okay, I’m at my villa.”
Hong Dali soon hung up and smiled. “Captain Zhao is coming soon. He seems anxious, hehe.”
Sure enough, within ten minutes, loud sirens were heard. A row of more than twenty police cars turned into the Water Creek residential area. Zhao Mingguang got out of the car and cast a curious glance at the laboratory which Hong Dali had placed on the lawn. He simply couldn’t figure out how this laboratory had appeared there in the short span of a few days. And there was the extra-long Rolls Royce parked at the door of the laboratory…
“Damn, this car is too cool!” A policeman sighed. “Captain Zhao, you said previously that Hong Dali is not ordinarily rich. Now I believe you. This car is worth at least tens of millions?”
“It’s really impossible for people to compare themselves with others.” Another policeman nodded. “I heard that Hong Dali bought the entire residential area.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Zhao Mingguang lowered his voice. “Young Master Hong Dali is of mysterious origins and is very powerful. It will do you no good to know too much.”
Soon, Zhao Mingguang saw a beaming Hong Dali. He hurried forward and asked, “Young Master Dali, what did you find? Why did you look for me in such a hurry? I heard that the stock market has been rough lately. The superiors have decided that the police need to deal with this matter. After all, the consequences are very serious.”
“It has something to do with the stock market.” Hong Dali asked Zhao Mingguang in, “Come, come, I have a friend who traced the source of the IP addresses. I have not looked at it yet, but he said it’s quite a big organization.”
“Master Dali is really powerful.” Zhao Mingguang made a thumbs-up sign. “You have a lot of talented people under you, haha.”
The group entered the house.
Soon, Zhao Mingguang saw the room. It was as if it were set in a sci-fi world. Various equipment obviously more technologically advanced than what they had could be seen all over the room—the System did say he was not allowed to accelerate the technological progress of this world, but Hong Dali had tested it. The main limitation was in high-end weapons, such as particle guns and anti-gravity devices. There were no such limitations on holographic projection—in fact, holographic projection technology already existed in this dimension.
“Heartbreaker.” Hong Dali shouted for Lucifer. “Captain Zhao is here, let’s get started.”
Lucifer immediately stood up. “Captain Zhao, hello. My name is Ferguson and I’m the Young Master’s good friend.”
“Hello, hello.” Captain Zhao quickly stretched out his hand in greeting. As the two of them shook hands, Zhao Mingguang asked, “What did you find out? Hurry, show me.”
“Okay.” Lucifer began.
First, the IP track appeared on the computer screen, then a map appeared. First, it was a world map, then a country map, then province, city…
“This…” Zhao Mingguang was completely dumbfounded. “You discovered all these?! My God, you’re more powerful than the professional tracking equipment at our station! How did you do it?”
The two policemen who came with Zhao Mingguang were also dumbfounded. Were they really witnessing a scene that looked like it had come from a sci-fi movie with their own eyes?
“Ah, it’s actually nothing.” Lucifer muttered, “These are all small tricks. Only things like getting past a bank’s firewall can be considered as a little difficult—” He looked at Captain Zhao again. “Captain Zhao, do you have enough money? If you don’t, I can transfer you a few hundred million from the bank…”
“Stop talking. Hurry up and work!” Hong Dali smacked the back of Lucifer’s head. “Do you think everyone can take a joke?” Then Hong Dali looked at Zhao Mingguang and smiled. “Captain Zhao, we’re being embarrassing. Don’t laugh. This fella is always like this—he’s just joking. Hehe, hehe…”
“It’s okay,” Zhao Mingguang said as he broke into a cold sweat—just what kind of people did Hong Dali have under him…
Lucifer was fast. In just a short time, he had already closed in on the IP address. He narrowed the location down to prefecture-level, then community, and finally to the specific building.
“It’s in this villa?” They had reached the critical moment and Zhao Mingguang turned serious. He said, “Is the address correct? If it’s correct, then I’m going to ask someone to check it out.”
“I don’t know if it’s the correct one yet. Wait, let me take a look.” Lucifer started a software, then entered the tracked IP address into it. After a few more steps, he smiled. “Okay, look. This is what it looks like in the villa.”
What?!
Zhao Mingguang looked at the room in the villa, his scalp tingling. Lucifer did not forget to explain to him. “This is the picture I took using the camera on one of the computers there. Well, this camera’s resolution is really high…”
The two policemen who came with Zhao Mingguang were completely dumbfounded. Hong Dali looked at the person in the picture and was stunned. He took a deep breath. “Liu Mingyi?!”
