Chapter 554 Tracking to the hideout
The scammer grinned, revealing a mouthful of uneven teeth, with a look of greed and curiosity on his face: "Interesting, this thing is quite fun."
His rough fingers slid across the screen of his mobile phone, and he watched the animated picture of the God of Wealth in the MMS over and over again, watching it with great interest.
At the same time, Chen Ran sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on a small red dot on Qi Tongwei's computer, which was flashing on the screen.
His eyes widened, his face filled with amazement, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing! You actually found his exact location."
His voice was full of admiration. In his opinion, Qi Tongwei seemed to have magic and could always find key clues when there seemed to be no clue.
The other half of the computer screen shows the program entered by Qi Tongwei.
The lines of complex code scrolled quickly.
The MMS just now was actually a positioning tracking system, a small trap carefully designed by Qi Tongwei.
He took advantage of the greed and curiosity of the scammers and sent this special program via MMS. As long as the scammers opened the MMS, the program would automatically obtain their location information.
Qi Tongwei snorted coldly, his voice filled with confidence and disdain: "Comparing computers with me is like showing off your sword in front of Guan Gong."
His eyes are cold and firm, and he has absolute confidence in computer technology.
He knew very well that although these scammers were cunning, they were nothing more than minions in front of his professional field.
Chen Ran praised them endlessly, his face filled with admiration. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes full of stars. "That's right, it's a good thing you joined the special forces so you can't take their money. Otherwise, they would have lost everything."
He just made a few compliments out of admiration for Qi Tongwei.
Although he knew that Qi Tongwei was very powerful, he didn't know that Qi Tongwei's strength was even more terrifying than his compliments.
Qi Tongwei's achievements in the field of computer science are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
He has participated in some highly confidential cybersecurity projects, which involved top-notch technologies and algorithms.
Not only can he easily crack complex encryption systems, but he can also create some unique programs to deal with various complex situations.
If he really wanted to cheat these scammers, with his understanding of the scam routines and superb computer technology, he could easily set up a dragnet in the online world and make these scammers hand over all their money without knowing it. Moreover, they would be kept in the dark and think that they were making normal investments or transactions.
Chen Ran continued, "Chief, if you use this technology to fight crime, those criminals will have no chance of survival."
"I feel like you're a super hacker hidden in the special forces, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any time."
His words were full of expectations for Qi Tongwei. He hoped that one day he would also have such powerful abilities like Qi Tongwei and play a greater role in fighting crime.
After hearing what Chen Ran said, Qi Tongwei shook his head slightly and said, "Technology is only a means. The most important thing for us special forces is to rely on our own combat capabilities and teamwork."
"However, when necessary, these technologies can indeed bring great help to our mission."
Although his words were very humble, Chen Ran could feel the pride in his own skills deep in his heart.
Chen Ran nodded, he knew Qi Tongwei was right.
In the special forces, every member has his own expertise, and Qi Tongwei is undoubtedly an all-round talent.
He not only has superb computer technology, but also has outstanding military command ability and combat skills.
This made Chen Ran more determined to learn from Qi Tongwei. He wanted to constantly improve himself and become an excellent special forces soldier like Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei looked at the stabilized positioning information on the computer screen, and his eyes became more determined.
He said to Chen Ran, "Let's set off now. Based on this location, we will soon find their lair."
Chen Ran clenched his fists and answered with fighting spirit, "Yes, Chief!"
After saying that, Chen Ran started the car and sped towards the direction of the location.
Their hearts were filled with anticipation and nervousness, not knowing what challenges awaited them ahead, but they were fully prepared to catch the fraud gang in one fell swoop and rescue Mengyao.
Qi Tongwei smiled slightly and thought, it’s not impossible, but the prerequisite is that Meng Yao must be found first.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei arrived at a four-story building based on the location.
This building is like an old man in his twilight years, standing there quietly, exuding an old atmosphere.
The building is at least twenty years old, and the years have left countless traces on it.
The wall was old and had been renovated. The newly painted paint could hardly cover up the mottled appearance of the wall itself. It was like a thin layer of powder barely applied to an old man with wrinkles on his face. Under the sunlight, the interweaving of new and old colors appeared particularly dazzling.
The long corridor was filled with all kinds of debris, including old bicycles with flat tires and rusty bodies, as if telling of their long-standing forgetfulness; there were also some cardboard boxes filled with unknown things, some of which were broken, revealing some old daily necessities, such as used pots and pans, piled together in a mess.
Some old furniture also lay in a mess in the corridor, including chairs with missing legs and cabinets with peeling paint, as if they had found their final home here after being abandoned by their owners.
The old lady's vest and underwear fluttered in the wind on the clothesline under the eaves. The clothes were old from being washed out and swayed weakly in the wind.
The clothesline looked old, and the rust on it looked like red scars.
Next to the clothesline, there are some cured bacon or dried pickles hanging, exuding a strong breath of life, but this breath is mixed with a stale and messy smell.
Most of the window glass in the building was gray, and some were cracked and barely held together with tape.
Looking in from the outside, the room was dim and blurry, with only the vague outlines of some simple furniture to be seen.
The lights in the corridor were dim and weak, flickering from time to time, as if they would go out completely in the next second, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere to the already gloomy environment.
The ground around the building is also bumpy, and sewage has accumulated in some places, emitting a bad smell.
The corners of the wall were covered with moss, and some unknown weeds stubbornly emerged from the cracks in the wall, as if showing their vitality to the world, even though the environment here was so dilapidated.
Chen Ran quickly took out two pistols from his bag with skillful and agile movements. He carefully hid the pistols in his pocket and handed them to Qi Tongwei.
In his opinion, a pistol is an essential piece of equipment when facing the scammers he is about to face, after all, these people are cunning and dangerous.
However, Qi Tongwei just waved his hand, his eyes revealing a kind of confidence and calmness, and said: "There is no need to use this kind of thing to deal with him."
After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, he strode upstairs.
His eyes were fixed on the direction of the stairs, as if he could see the scammer waiting for him right ahead.
Chen Ran was stunned at first. He didn't expect Qi Tongwei to be so confident.
But he quickly came to his senses and hurriedly followed Qi Tongwei.
He knew that Qi Tongwei must have his own plans. Although he didn't quite understand why Qi Tongwei didn't take the gun, he believed in Qi Tongwei's judgment.
Qi Tongwei quickly walked to a door and stopped. He stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, then raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly.
The knock on the door sounded particularly clear in the silent corridor, as if it was the death knell for the fraudster's fate.
A man's impatient voice suddenly rang out from inside the house: "Fuck, are you going to let me rest? You guys all like to harass me in the middle of the night, right?"
When Qi Tongwei heard the voice, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He knew that he had found the right place.
He did not respond to the man in the house, but just stood quietly at the door.
Chen Ran stood behind Qi Tongwei, his hand unconsciously reaching for the pistol hidden in his pocket. Although Qi Tongwei said he didn't need it, he was still prepared to deal with any emergency at any time.
His eyes were fixed on the door, his ears were listening carefully to the movements inside the house, and his heart beat faster involuntarily. After all, they were about to face a cunning scammer, and no one knew what kind of danger was waiting for them behind the door.
Qi Tongwei walked to the window and stood there quietly.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, activated his eagle-like sharp eyesight, and his gaze penetrated the window as if it were real, looking at the situation inside the house.
The room was filled with a foul smell, and a disheveled woman was sitting on the sofa.
Her hair was a little messy, and her eyes showed fatigue and numbness. She held a cigarette between her fingers, and the smoke slowly rose, forming a light mist in front of her.
Every time she took a puff of cigarette, she would frown slightly, as if looking for some comfort in the smoke.
The tall and thin man next to him, whose figure resembled a fishing rod, had an impatient look on his face.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
When he saw the woman smoking, his face turned red instantly, like a lit firecracker.
He suddenly reached out, snatched the cigarette from the woman's hand in a rough manner, and threw it heavily on the ground. The cigarette butt splashed a small spark on the ground.
"Still smoking? I'm exhausted trying to support you two. If you smoke again, get out of here."
As he spoke, he waved his arms, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart through this action.
The woman didn't react at all, her eyes remained calm, as if she was used to the man's anger.
She simply bent down slowly and calmly picked up the cigarette that had been crushed by the scammer. She gently dusted it off and carefully put it in her coat pocket. She didn't even glance at the man during the whole process, as if his anger had nothing to do with her.
The scammer became even more angry and embarrassed when he saw the woman's behavior.
His lips trembled slightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged like twisted earthworms.
He took a step forward, his finger almost poking the woman's face, and shouted, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Huh? Do you think I'm kidding you?"
His voice became a little hoarse due to anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
The woman then raised her head and glanced at him. There was no fear in her eyes, just a faint indifference, as if she was looking at an unreasonable clown.
This look completely infuriated the scammer, and his body began to tremble violently, as if he was ready to attack the woman at any time.
