Back then, Shi Lei clearly remembered that in the surveillance footage of the Predator drone that Tao Wenxian had shared with him, the infrared detector had shown that there were a total of eight people in Raphael's manor!
However, the official website of the FBI had announced that this was not the case. Quoting the FBI's original description, the specific information was as follows:
"… We, the FBI, are committed to fighting any crime, including cybercrime. Among them, the famous hacker Raphael, the Flaming Sword, escaped due to a mistake in the handover procedure. However, we, the FBI, have not given up on investigating and recapturing him. "
"… After a series of precise investigations by the FBI, we finally determined Raphael's real address. We found a large number of dangerous explosives at the address, and we have confirmed that Raphael was a major threat. Therefore, we joined forces with the San Diego Naval Base, deployed advanced equipment and Marine Corps, and finally killed the notorious hacker Raphael! "
"… We, the FBI, solemnly declare that any criminal activity against Lijian Province, including cybercrime, will be punished by the FBI!"
…
Under this information, there was a large number of photos that proved Raphael's death. However, Shi Lei counted carefully. According to the photos shown by the FBI, the death toll was only six people.
In other words, two more people had disappeared!
Through the investigation, Shi Lei found out that Uriel and Raphael were together. Among the eight people in Raphael's manor, two of them were Raphael and Uriel.
Now, the death toll had been reduced by two people. Shi Lei could not help but suspect that the missing two people were Raphael and Uriel.
Although one of the photos shown by the FBI did indeed look like Raphael, Shi Lei knew a secret.
Raphael was not only one of the four giants of the Angel Council, but his family was also very powerful. His family had prepared a substitute for him!
"There's no Uriel!" Shi Lei looked gloomy after looking at the photos. He had thought that he had taken care of the two giants of the Angel Council in one go, but he had not expected that his efforts would be in vain!
"Damn FBI, what are they trying to do?" Shi Lei secretly guessed the intentions of the FBI.
The FBI had once captured Raphael, so naturally, they had recorded a series of information about Raphael, such as fingerprints, genetic characteristics, and even dental records. This information was definitely recorded by the FBI.
Since the FBI had recorded this information, they could compare the genetic characteristics and determine whether the person who looked exactly like Raphael was Raphael or not.
In fact, Shi Lei didn't believe that person was Raphael at all. However, if that person wasn't Raphael, what did the FBI mean by announcing that Raphael had been killed?
Could it be that the FBI was trying to confuse Raphael?
Regardless of what the FBI meant, Shi Lei only knew one thing, and that was that his alias, Mr. M, and CPX Jazz, had become enemies with Raphael and Uriel!
It was past eight o 'clock at night.
Shi Lei was optimizing the 'Secret Web'. The Secret Web was the most crucial technology to realize the World of Heroes. This technology was directly related to whether the World of Heroes could operate smoothly.
The phone on the computer table rang, and the caller ID showed that it was Bai Qiang.
Shi Lei's lips curled into a smile. He had already guessed the purpose of Bai Qiang's call and even guessed the question that Bai Qiang was going to ask.
"Good evening, Brother Bai! I heard that there was another explosion in the Beiyu District today? "Shi Lei took the initiative and asked the question that Bai Qiang wanted to ask.
It was always good to have the initiative.
"Well, Brother Shi, you're quite well-informed!" Bai Qiang responded with a smile, but in his heart, he was even more certain that this matter must have something to do with Shi Lei!
"Come on! Brother Bai, this matter has already caused an uproar in the entire Shuangqing City! How is it? Is there any progress in the case? "Shi Lei asked as if nothing had happened. His tone was extremely natural.
"Speaking of which, the progress of this case is very smooth. After a few hours of hard work, the Crime Scene Investigation Task Force found a key piece of evidence in the wreckage of the explosion." Bai Qiang didn't reveal any evidence. Instead, he wanted to test Shi Lei and see if Shi Lei knew anything about it.
How could Shi Lei be fooled?
Could it be that Shi Lei would stupidly say, "Did you find Wu Neng's fingerprints on the porcelain cup?" If he asked that, even a fool would know that there was a problem, and Shi Lei would become the first suspect.
Although Bai Qiang wouldn't arrest Shi Lei, who knew if Xie Nanfeng's people knew about it?
"Brother Bai, what evidence?" Shi Lei replied with a smile. "Oh right, Brother Bai, who is the victim? How did the explosion happen? "
"Well, Brother Shi, this information is still confidential, so it's not convenient for me to tell you now. Recently, Dai Guanghua's people have arranged for a new successor to enter the Municipal Bureau. Although he doesn't have any important authority, he has one more informant after all. As the bureau chief, I can't openly violate the rules, "Bai Qiang explained.
"Well, it's okay. I'm just curious!" Shi Lei didn't believe that Bai Qiang called just to chat. "Oh right, Brother Bai, why are you looking for me?"
Bai Qiang coughed twice. "Brother Shi, I just want to inform you that according to the investigation of the crowd at the scene of the explosion, one of the people identified your Porsche Cayenne as having appeared at the scene of the explosion. The witness confirmed it with certainty and said that your license plate was easy to remember. "
Shi Lei's white Porsche Cayenne's license plate was indeed easy to remember. It was Qing A 22222. How could such a full A-type license plate be difficult to remember?
"There really is a witness!" Shi Lei sighed in his heart. "Brother Bai, this is impossible, right? After I left the court, I went straight back to Shuanghu District. "
Bai Qiang didn't doubt or believe him. "Brother Shi, you can deal with this yourself. Anyway, Dai Guanghua's people will definitely not let this matter go. "
"Brother Bai, don't worry. After I returned to Shuanghu District, there are dozens of people who can prove my alibi!" Shi Lei replied with a smile.
"That's good. Then I'm relieved!" Bai Qiang hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. In fact, the technical department of the Shuanghu City Bureau had already extracted the relevant surveillance video.
However, from the surveillance video, they didn't see Shi Lei's white Porsche Cayenne at the scene of the explosion. Although Dai Guanghua's technicians secretly suspected that the records of the surveillance cameras had been erased, there was no evidence. They couldn't prove anything!
After hanging up the phone with Bai Qiang, Shi Lei's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Dai Guanghua is haunting me like a ghost, and Xie Nanfeng is holding on to it. Humph!"
In a quiet neighborhood in Beiyu District.
Xie Nanfeng, the Deputy Mayor of Shuanghu City, sat on the sofa and looked at Wu Neng coldly. A brand-new black USB flash drive was placed on the coffee table in front of Xie Nanfeng. Two middle-aged men in black suits stood behind Xie Nanfeng.
Wu Neng lowered his head, not daring to look at Xie Nanfeng.
"Little Wu, did Shi Lei really ask you to give me this USB flash drive?" Xie Nanfeng's tone was calm and oppressive, like the calm before a storm.
Even though it was cold March, and even though it was past eight o 'clock in the evening, Wu Neng's forehead was still covered in cold sweat.
A chilling feeling rose in his heart!
Just as Shi Lei had expected, Wu Neng checked the USB flash drive that Shi Lei had asked him to give to Xie Nanfeng. When he finished reading the information in the USB flash drive, Wu Neng's heart was filled with regret.
He knew that he had been tricked by Shi Lei. He couldn't read the information in the USB flash drive!
Unfortunately, he also knew that whether or not he had read the information in the USB flash drive, Xie Nanfeng would think that he had. He also knew that the only way to save his life was to make a copy of the information and give it to a trustworthy person. He also knew that if anything happened to him, the person would release the information.
This was the only way he could avoid being killed by Xie Nanfeng.
"Mayor Xie, it was indeed Shi Lei who asked me to give it to you," Wu Neng answered humbly.
Xie Nanfeng raised his teacup and took a sip. He suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Little Wu, did you read the information in it?"
Wu Neng didn't know how to answer. If he said that he had read it? That would be suicide! If he said that he hadn't read it, Xie Nanfeng wouldn't believe him. The best answer was to remain silent and remain silent.
"Hahahaha!" Xie Nanfeng laughed coldly. "Little Wu, you are a young man that I have high hopes for. Tell me, how should I deal with this?"
Wu Neng was secretly shocked. He knew that this was a moment of life and death. He gritted his teeth and raised his head, looking at Xie Nanfeng in despair.
"Mayor Xie, I know what you are thinking. But I want to tell you one thing, if something bad happens to me. If anything happens to me, a friend of mine will release the information in the USB flash drive! "Wu Neng threatened desperately.
A murderous look flashed across Xie Nanfeng's eyes.
"Little Wu, you worry too much! I have said that you are a young man that I have high hopes for. I hope that you can keep this a secret. Do you understand? "Xie Nanfeng said gently.
If Xie Nanfeng didn't grab the last chance and copied the data without permission, he was afraid that he would only end up dead.
Wu Neng breathed a sigh of relief. "Mayor Xie, please don't worry. I will keep this a secret!"
Shuanghu District, Jingya Court.
"Sir, I have received a message from CPX Izur. The other party is requesting a voice call." Izur was monitoring the confidential email that kept in contact with Tao Wenxian.
Shi Lei walked in from the living room and said as he walked, "Set up an encrypted voice communication channel and send the address to the other party."
After a while, Shi Lei and Tao Wenxian established a voice connection.
"Hello, Mr. M!" Tao Wenxian's voice was transmitted through the voice-changing software.
"Jazz, you contacted me at the right time. I was just about to discuss something with you!" Shi Lei replied.
