Han Bin thought for a moment and asked, "Did this account log in to other IPs?"
"No."
"Did you log in to your phone?"
"No."
Han Bin felt that it was unlikely that it was an employee's personal behavior. Phones were so convenient nowadays, and most people had computers. If this person was really trying to discredit the show or was dissatisfied with the company, he could have used his phone or his own computer to do it. It would have been harder for his colleagues to find out.
Even if he liked to discredit the company during work hours, it was impossible for him to not log in to other IPs.
Therefore, Han Bin was more inclined to believe that the company instigated its employees to discredit the show.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them drove to Chongwen Building and took the elevator to the twelfth floor.
The Cold Plum Herbal Tea Company's office was not small. After exiting the elevator, the right side was filled with the company's offices.
There was a reception desk at the entrance, and a young female receptionist was sitting there.
Han Bin walked over. "Hello, I'm looking for the person in charge of your company."
The female receptionist glanced at Han Bin. "Do you have an appointment? Who are you looking for? "
Han Bin flashed his police badge. "I'm looking for your company's general manager."
"Police," the female receptionist muttered. "Why are you looking for our general manager?"
"Treat him to tea."
"Wait a minute." The female receptionist's expression changed slightly, and she quickly picked up the phone to make a call.
Soon, a middle-aged man walked out quickly with a smile on his face. "You three must be comrades from the city's criminal investigation team."
The female receptionist stood up and introduced them. "Boss Li, these are the three police officers looking for you."
Han Bin sized him up and flashed his police badge. "Hello, I'm Han Bin from the city's criminal investigation team."
"Hello, my name is Li Dingshan." The man took the initiative to shake hands with Han Bin.
It was never a good thing to be approached by the police. To prevent unnecessary influence, Li Dingshan invited Han Bin and the other two to the lounge for a chat.
"Officer Han, what can I do for you?" Li Dingshan took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Han Bin.
Han Bin politely declined and asked, "What does your company do?"
"Our company mainly produces and sells herbal tea."
"How are the sales?"
"Not bad." Li Dingshan put away his cigarette and asked, "Officer Han, why do you care about our company's business?"
"Do you know the program 'Let's Generate Electricity Together'?"
"I know. Our company is the sponsor of this show. This show is not bad. Not only is it entertaining, but it can also solve the problem of young people being single. It's quite meaningful." After Li Dingshan finished speaking, he asked, "Officer Han, could it be that you're here today because of this program?"
Han Bin took out his phone and clicked on a screenshot of a message left by Brother Jing who was sunbathing. "Take a look."
Li Dingshan checked it and frowned. "Aiyo, this netizen is too outrageous. Why are your words so harsh? You're so disrespectful to the program team and the female guests. "
"Do you know this netizen called 'Jing Ge Ge Sunbathing'?"
Li Dingshan replied without hesitation, "I don't know him. If I knew him, I would have warned him that his behavior was wrong. It's equivalent to deliberately discrediting our sponsored program. "
"I really don't know him," Han Bin confirmed.
"Look at what you're saying. How can I lie? I can't lie to the police, and there's no need for that."
"After our investigation, this account has been using your company's IP address to log in. It's hard to believe that you don't know anything."
"That can't be. Did someone steal our company's network? "
"You suspect that someone stole your company's network to discredit your company. Do you have any suspects or evidence?"
"No."
"Then we'll investigate your company's internal affairs first. After eliminating your company as a suspect, we'll investigate external factors."
"Officer Han, there's one thing I don't quite understand. This … isn't a big deal. Why do we need your city's criminal investigation team to investigate it?"
"This is indeed not a big deal, but it involves a criminal case. I hope your company can help us investigate this matter. Don't let a small matter become a big deal."
"Okay." Li Dingshan held his forehead with his hand, seemingly inadvertently wiping the sweat on his forehead. "Maybe … maybe it's a prank by an employee."
"I've seen pranks before, but to do the same prank for months in a row, it's not something that can be solved with a simple prank." Han Bin leaned forward, stared at Li Dingshan, and said, "Mr. Li, I've also met some company leaders in the process of handling cases. They all have a common characteristic. They all want to make big things small and small things small. They want to try not to affect the company. "
"Of course, there's no problem in itself. However, if it affects the police investigation, then I can only ask the relevant personnel to go to the police station to talk."
Li Dingshan quickly said, "Officer Han, don't worry. I promise to help you investigate this matter."
"Then I'd like to hear how you're going to help me investigate."
"I don't know much about investigating cases. Why don't you tell me and I'll do it?"
Han Bin suggested, "Then call all your company's employees out. I'll ask them one by one."
"Don't. As you said, it's not good for this kind of thing to spread in the company." Li Dingshan quickly stopped him. He thought about it and said, "The marketing department has always been responsible for sponsoring programs and advertisements. Why don't I call the marketing manager over and ask him to help you investigate?"
"Okay."
"Then please sit down. I'll call him."
Han Bin changed his seat and sat next to Li Dingshan. "I suggest you call him directly."
Li Dingshan nodded, sat down again, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call.
"Hello, Mr. Li."
"Manager Jin, please come to the lounge."
"What's the matter, Mr. Li?"
"Come over if I ask you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Li Dingshan was a little annoyed. Han Bin was sitting next to him. What could he say?
He seemed to hear that Li Dingshan was angry, so he quickly agreed. "Okay, I'll come over now."
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the lounge. "Knock knock."
"Come in."
A man in his early thirties walked in. He looked at Li Dingshan naturally, then looked at Han Bin and the other two before looking away. "Mr. Li, you were looking for me?"
"It's not me. It's these three comrades from the city's Criminal Investigation Unit." Li Dingshan said and then introduced, "Police Officer Han, this is the marketing manager of our company, Jin Shaoyong."
Jin Shaoyong looked at Han Bin and the other two with some surprise.
"Manager Jin, please sit down. I have something to discuss with you."
Jin Shaoyong sat opposite him. "What's the matter?"
"I heard from Mr. Li that you were the one who sponsored the 'Let's Generate Electricity Together' program?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Han Bin stared at him and asked, "Do you know 'Brother Jing the Sunbathing'?"
Jin Shaoyong looked surprised. He turned to look at Li Dingshan. "I …"
Han Bin could see that Jin Shaoyong's surprise wasn't fake. In other words, he should know about this online username. Otherwise, he wouldn't be surprised.
"Think carefully before you speak. Don't lie to the police. Otherwise, you'll bring trouble to yourself and the company!" Han Bin warned him. "What do you think, Mr. Li?"
Li Dingshan agreed. "Yes, yes, Police Officer Han is right. Manager Jin, be honest. If you know it, then you know it. If you don't know it, then you don't know it. Don't lie to the police."
"I … know a little."
"Tell me everything you know."
Jin Shaoyong pondered for a moment. "This is called 'Brother Jing the Sunbathing'. It's actually an account registered by one of our company's employees. It's to interact with the 'Let's Generate Electricity Together' program team and understand the trend of the program. Occasionally, he will also communicate with the fans."
"Communicate." Han Bin snorted and said in a serious tone, "Have you seen his comments? You call this communicating. "
"Our city's criminal investigation team isn't idle. This matter involves a criminal case. Don't think that it's a small matter. Don't try to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then we can only go to the police station to talk."
Li Dingshan quickly persuaded, "Police Officer Han, don't be anxious. Let me persuade him."
"Manager Jin, what's going on? Tell the police clearly. Don't hide anything, understand?"
"Yes." Jin Shaoyong nodded. He thought for a moment and said, "This matter is more complicated. It involves some of our company's work."
"In the second half of last year, we sponsored the 'Let's Generate Electricity Together' program. At that time, the program's ratings were okay. However, I don't know if it's because of aesthetic fatigue, but the program's ratings got lower and lower."
"At first, we also talked to the program team, hoping that they could adjust to a better broadcast time. The program team also communicated with the television station, but the television station didn't agree."
"We hoped that we could improve the content of the program and add some new segments. They were quite cooperative and quickly changed to a new version. However, the ratings got even lower, so we had no choice but to change it back. I really had no other choice. "
"Later, some employees suggested that we could help the program team stir up some topics. With topics, there would be attention, and the ratings would go up. Then, the exposure of our products would also increase. "
"So, we registered this account called 'Brother Jing Who Basks in the Sun'. The purpose is to help the program stir up topics, that's all."
Han Bin noted it down in his notebook. "How do you do it?"
Jin Shaoyong deliberated for a moment and said, "It's to target the characteristics of some female guests. Make some comments and exaggerate them so that they become the topic of discussion."
Han Bin asked, "Do you have any impression of the female guest, Lu Jingfang?"
Jin Shaoyong thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, her characteristics are very obvious. She wants to find a rich boyfriend."
Bao Xing snorted. "That's why you called her a gold digger who only recognizes money and not people. You also said that she's not looking for a boyfriend, but a godfather! "
