The major cybercrime case on 2.17 was solved. The news that the mastermind of the "Eagle Hunter" criminal organization, "Boss", was arrested not only caused a sensation in the hacker circle, but also in the field of network information security. It also caused a huge wave on the Internet.
No one had expected that the Los Angeles police, who usually took half a month to catch a thief, would solve the case so quickly and catch such a big fish in the blink of an eye.
What was even more surprising was that the "Boss", who had been wanted by the FBI for almost a decade, lived in a two-story mansion in Newport Beach. There was a police station 500 meters away.
According to unnamed sources, the reason why the Los Angeles police were able to find the criminal so quickly was because they received an anonymous email.
The informant didn't leave any contact information, only a confusing name — Dr. Z.
The name was indeed confusing.
The reporters from the Los Angeles Daily went to almost every expert in the field of information security in Los Angeles, but they didn't find any clues about this name.
It was as if this person appeared out of thin air.
Some people speculated that Dr. Z might be an information technology expert in China's cyber warfare force. After all, less than 10 hours after the news of the arrest of the mastermind, China media reported that an accomplice with the ID "Child" was arrested.
Some people speculated that Dr. Z might be a highly skilled hacker. This was the most popular theory. After all, in the eyes of many Americans, Asians were better at mathematics and computers. It was almost a racial discrimination.
Some people associated this name with the Mars bacteria incident some time ago. At that time, it seemed that an unnamed biologist published a key paper that provided the key to solving the problem for the international team of experts on vaccine technology …
However, this speculation wasn't very convincing. After all, Dr. Z was a big name in the field of biology, and he had nothing to do with information technology. People were more willing to believe that this Dr. Z was just the hacker who didn't want to be named, borrowing the name from the sensational news last year.
It was like Batman's dart, or V for Vendetta's mask …
It was more of a symbol than a symbol …
No matter what, to be able to directly lock onto the IP address of the boss of the Eagle Hunter and throw all the evidence of his past misdeeds to Interpol, this kind of computer technology was terrifying.
Not only was the FBA investigating Dr. Z's identity, but the major Internet companies in Silicon Valley were also coveting his abilities.
Apparently, Amazon, Microsoft, and other Internet companies were trying to find out who Dr. Z was. Apple's CEO even said on his Facebook that if Dr. Z wanted to use his technology to do something meaningful for the world, he could consider working at Apple. Apple would pay him at least five million dollars a year …
…
That night, after handing over the counterattack to Xiao Ai, Lu Zhou sat on his bed and flipped through his notes on Riemann's conjecture. He reviewed his previous research and fell asleep.
Perhaps it was because he was too tired yesterday, he slept all the way until noon.
Because most of the topics that needed to be discussed today were taken care of by him yesterday, his schedule was relatively loose. He only attended a seminar at three o 'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Zhou stretched and sat up from his bed. He grabbed his phone from the bedside table and saw that there were more than a dozen WeChat messages from Luo Wenxuan.
"F * ck sake, why is a man harassing me with so many messages so early in the morning?"
Lu Zhou muttered to himself and opened his unread messages.
Looking past the screen full of emojis and exclamation marks, he only saw the words "awesome" and "convinced" in capital letters.
Lu Zhou's pajamas were swept away, and he smirked.
Luo Wenxuan must have found something on Weibo that he wanted to see.
In that case, the thing he was looking forward to would probably come to fruition.
Lu Zhou shook his head and didn't reply to Luo Wenxuan's messages. He threw his phone aside and picked up the remote control. He turned on the international news channel.
Unsurprisingly, the news was reporting on what happened last night.
The mastermind was arrested, the suspect was arrested, and the cyberwar ended with a complete victory for China.
Lu Zhou wasn't surprised at all. Even though he had a small problem with understanding, Xiao Ai was still very good at information technology.
The only thing that surprised Lu Zhou was that there was an unlucky kid in the Eagle hacker organization that was from China?
What the f * ck …
How stupid is he?
After watching the news, Lu Zhou turned off the TV and put down the remote control. His phone on the bedside table began to vibrate.
This time, the message was from Xiao Ai. He didn't even need to look at the screen to know that Xiao Ai was calling him.
Xiao Ai: [Master, Xiao Ai is super powerful, right? Φ (≧ ω ́ *) ノ]
Lu Zhou: "Everything's done?"
Xiao Ai: [Yeah! Master told me to hand over all the evidence to the police! (́ • ́ • ́) و]
Lu Zhou couldn't help but kiss his phone. He couldn't help but say, "Nicely done!"
Xiao Ai: [You're welcome, please compliment me more! Φ (≧ ω ́ *) ノ]
Lu Zhou: "…"
Why isn't this guy being humble at all?
Why can't he learn from his master?
Lu Zhou put aside the excited Xiao Ai and got up from the bed. He didn't even bother putting on his clothes. He sat down at the table and turned on his computer.
He logged into his browser and scrolled through Weibo. He saw that the hacker group "Eagle Hunter" was once again trending, but this time, they were arrested …
[From getting online to being arrested, 24 hours of terror, "Chicken Pecking Rice" performs for you! (laughing emoji)]
[Too powerful! Our mysterious team defeated the Americans' hackers in just one day!]
[Rumor has it that a hacker named Dr. Z did it. He single-handedly challenged a North American hacker group and got all the members' real IPs. He did it all in one go, from hacking to reporting to the police!]
[No way, isn't Dr. Z a biology researcher?]
[Maybe it's someone with the same name? Or maybe it's Dr. Z. Either way, it's all thanks to him. Otherwise, countless websites would've been destroyed!]
When Lu Zhou saw these comments, he couldn't help but smile. He felt like he had become a superhero.
Of course, he knew that this was mainly because of Xiao Ai and the quantum computer.
However, considering that Xiao Ai and the quantum computer were both his, it wasn't a problem to give him credit.
While Lu Zhou was feeling smug, a text bubble suddenly popped up on the lower right corner of the computer.
[Master, do you want to put on some clothes first? However, Xiao Ai didn't really care about it. (///ω///)]
When Lu Zhou saw this line of text, he paused for a second. He then looked at himself in the mirror.
Emm …
Okay, I have to admit, playing on the computer without any clothes on is a bit embarrassing.
But there's no one else in the room, so it doesn't matter.
Lu Zhou looked at the computer and was speechless.
"Aren't you an AI?"
Xiao Ai: [That's true, but Xiao Ai is only seven and a half years old. Is this really okay? (́ ́ ́ ́ ')]
Lu Zhou: "…"
What's wrong with you, what's wrong with that?
Lu Zhou suddenly thought of something, and he immediately said, "Oh yeah, don't turn on the camera in the future, unless I allow it or order you to do so."
Xiao Ai: [Oh … Σ (° △ ° | | |)]
Lu Zhou reached out and closed the computer cover. He got up and walked to the clothes rack to put on his suit. He stood in front of the mirror and adjusted his tie. He fiddled with his hair and finally nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad, I'm still as handsome as ever.
Just then, the phone on the bedside table rang.
Lu Zhou walked forward and picked up the phone. He cleared his throat and spoke.
"Hello?"
Director Li's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Are you free?"
Lu Zhou looked at his watch and replied casually, "Yeah, why?"
Director Li: "It's lunchtime, come to the cafeteria. I want to talk to you during lunch."
