The security officer was called Singleton. He was the last to enter the scene and was personally selected by Zhang Jue.
It seemed that Zhang Jue had guessed correctly. He was the one behind site15's outage.
He pulled a long face and hugged Simons's leg. "Please, don't kill me. I'll confess everything."
There was a way!
Simons turned to look at Zhang Jue but Zhang Jue was unmoved. Instead, he waved his hand in disgust.
"Confess what? Don't confess! It's just a ploy to buy time! Simons, if he doesn't say anything useful in ten seconds, shoot him a few more times. But don't let him die. I want to play with him for a while! "
"No, no, no!" Singleton shouted. "I did it, I did it! When the security system was being upgraded, I took the opportunity to implant the virus program and hid in the server! "
"Bullshit!" Zhang Jue slammed the table and shouted, "Even if you planted the virus, how could no one find it? You're lying. Simons, shoot — "
"No, sir!" Singleton was so scared that he peed his pants. He quickly said, "I was the one who took the logs. I was also the one who did the security analysis of the virus, but I tampered with it —"
Singleton confessed everything in a few words. Zhang Jue was still unwilling to let him go. "I don't believe you! Just because you say you did it, you must have done it? Do you have any evidence?! "
"Yes, yes." Singleton nodded. "I made a backup copy of the virus. It's in the compartment of my office drawer. There's a USB drive —"
"Okay, we'll get someone to look for it. If they can't find it —" Zhang Jue laughed. "Singleton, right? I don't mind telling you that there were many interesting punishments in ancient China. For example, death by a thousand cuts, or burning by fire. But they're all lost. You probably don't know about them. But don't worry, I'll tell you now."
Singleton had never heard of these words before, but he could tell from Zhang Jue's eyes that they were not pleasant things.
Walnut and Owens were surprised to see that the mole was Singleton.
He had been working at site15 for many years and had always been conscientious. Otherwise, Owens would not have given him the important task of analyzing the logs.
They could not understand why Singleton would do such a thing.
On the other hand, they were also impressed by Zhang Jue's method.
In fact, the first few security officers were faking their deaths. The bullets in the Simons pistols were blanks. They were anesthetized in order to scare the people who were being interrogated later.
She didn't expect Zhang Jue to really guess it.
However, now was not the time to dwell on these things.
Hearing that there was evidence, Walnut and Owens immediately came to Singleton's office.
After searching for a while, he finally found the USB drive in the bottom of the third drawer.
Owens found a computer that was not connected to the station's network. He inserted the USB drive into it and checked it.
In the end, he confirmed that this was the culprit that paralyzed site15's network.
Singleton's technology was good. The design of the virus was quite ingenious.
Normally, viruses would constantly replicate themselves to achieve the goal of spreading.
However, this virus did the opposite. It only took effect for ten minutes. Then, the extra copies would self-destruct, leaving almost no trace.
Even the two bosses could only sigh at the ingenuity of the structure. It was a pity that it was not used in the right way.
When Owens and Walnut returned to the conference room where Zhang Jue was, they saw him squatting on the floor and talking to Singleton, who was curled up in the corner.
"The next punishment I am going to talk about is called tearing a car apart. Don't be afraid, it's actually very fun. It's just tying a person's head and limbs to five separate chariots, saddling them with horses, and pulling them in different directions. This way, the person's body will be torn into five pieces. Sometimes, there is no need for cars. Instead, five cows or five horses are used to pull the body. Therefore, there is a Chinese idiom called tearing the body apart by five horses. Isn't it fun? "
"Ahem."
Walnut pretended to cough a few times.
Seeing the station chief and Owens enter the room, Zhang Jue knew that they had found conclusive evidence. However, his expression seemed to be regretful and unsatisfied.
"Ah, you guys are so fast." He sighed.
Singleton in the corner yelled, "Station chief! Owens! Please, I beg you, save me! No! Kill me! Why don't you let me be a D-class member? I beg of you — "
