Chapter 40 Awakening

"Did you see the message I sent?" The call was quickly connected, and Wei Hongbo's voice came through the receiver, "Your speculations have basically been confirmed."

"Basic?" Wei Hongsi asked, somewhat surprised. "Are some of your assumptions inconsistent with the actual situation?"

"That's not it." Wei Hongbo relayed the contents of the autopsy report and then said, "That's how it is. Due to the lack of standards and cases for this kind of judgment, and the fact that we don't have any relevant physical evidence, the identification center cannot give a qualitative conclusion on the so-called 'ability indoctrination'."

It turned out to be the case.

Wei Hongsi pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, two lines of red ghostly text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Mission: Assist the police in finding the murderer who caused Li Yunxiang's death]

[Mission: Assist the police in obtaining information about the mastermind behind the scenes]

Judging from the content, these two new tasks are follow-ups to the previous two time-limited tasks. According to the logic of the "system" issuing tasks, this is also a follow-up step to find out the mastermind.

But what kind of assistance can I offer?

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you have anything to say?" Wei Hongbo finished speaking and waited for almost twenty seconds without receiving any response, so he couldn't help but urge him on.

Wei Hongsi watched the ghostly text disappear before his eyes, then gathered his thoughts and said:

"We can commission a reputable university or a relevant research institution at the Chinese Academy of Sciences to use the autopsy results from the forensic center as a blueprint, combined with the behavioral patterns of the two deceased in the case, to demonstrate the possibility of 'ability indoctrination,' and then issue a report. While this cannot replace the judgment standard, it can serve the same purpose."

"Can I contact your school for this?"

"certainly."

In fact, Zhiwei Technology could have produced such a report. The company's fourth department is called the "Neural Interface Development Department," and the research and application of brain-computer interfaces is its main business. However, Zhiwei is connected to this case and is a private enterprise, putting it in an awkward position.

It's more appropriate for authoritative official research institutions to endorse such matters. Yuecheng University is undoubtedly a good choice, not only because it's close by, but also because you know the people there.

"Then could you ask around for me first? Also, could you roughly determine the origin of the carbon nanotube material found in the autopsy?"

"I don't know much about this. I have a senior classmate who is doing related research. His name is Feng Xiaoxu. You've met him. You can consult him."

"Okay, send me his phone number."

"You can discuss the feasibility study report with him as well."

"Okay, got it."

Wei Hongsi realized his brother was about to hang up and felt like he'd forgotten something, so he quickly said, "Wait a minute!"

Wei Hongbo asked, "Is there anything else?"

Wei Hong thought for a moment and said, "When you find the suspect and are about to make the arrest, you have to find a way to avoid the abnormal situation that happened to Li Yunxiang and Peng Jun."

"Oh, that? We'll definitely develop targeted contingency plans. Anything else?"

"Hmm... no more for now."

"Tell me whatever comes to mind."

After the two finished their call, Wei Hongsi found Feng Xiaoxu's phone number and sent it to his older brother, and then called Feng Xiaoxu again.

Because the case is currently under investigation, Wei Hongsi was unable to provide details, only saying that his brother had encountered some problems at work involving invasive brain-computer interface materials and related technologies, and that he would consult with a doctor soon.

Feng Xiaoxu agreed, but also felt somewhat strange: "Is the problem so complicated that even you can't explain it?"

"It is a special carbon nanotube material that is believed to be able to penetrate directly into the skull."

"Oh! Do you have any samples?"

"Yes, but it's very likely that the characteristics have already been destroyed."

"That works too. What's your brother's phone number?"

"I'll send it to you later." Wei Hongsi paused for a moment, "My brother is a policeman."

"Oh~" Feng Xiaoxu paused for a moment, "Then I'll wait for him to contact me."

After finishing the call, Wei Hongsi sent his brother's phone number to Feng Xiaoxu, then stared blankly at the phone for a while, feeling that something was missing.

In the previous two timed missions, his analysis and speculation undoubtedly provided significant help to his team. In comparison, the advice and reminders he offered this time, including introducing Senior Brother Feng to his teammate, were only slightly better than nothing. Even without his assistance, the police could have devised a solution based on their own mechanisms.

But what other assistance can be provided besides that?

As the saying goes, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. Investigation, evidence collection, tracking, and apprehension are the police's job, and he's not good at those things. His unwarranted interference will only cause trouble. Besides, he's not a law enforcement officer and has no right to get involved in these matters.

These two new "system" tasks seem a bit demanding. Do they really have to wait for the police to find the suspect before they can provide assistance?

That's not impossible. The fact that neither task has a deadline might be because we can't control the situation, so let's wait and see.

Wei Hongsi let out a long sigh, putting these thoughts aside for the time being.

I got up, put away the items I had moved in, connected the computer, turned it on, tested the network port and accessories, and after confirming that everything was working properly, I left the office to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

It was a Friday, and the restaurant was relatively empty. Unless there were special circumstances, not many people would schedule overtime work that evening or spend the weekend in the company cafeteria.

Wei Hongsi got his food and found a seat nearby. Halfway through his meal, he saw Lu Jiaqi come over with her tray and sit down opposite him.

The two exchanged brief greetings, and Wei Hongsi politely asked the obvious question, "Was the filming going smoothly?"

"Yes, we finished filming around 4 PM." Lu Jiaqi smiled easily. "Old Huang said that post-production can be completed and the final cut delivered before 9 PM tonight. President Ji will also send us a copy then."

"Okay, I'll try to come up with an analysis conclusion within an hour."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Wei. Should we send another analysis request?"

"No need, I already informed General Manager Yu this afternoon."

The simulation analysis of the newly filmed GG video was something they had decided on that morning on set.

One purpose is to test the performance of the newly acquired GG (giant parking attendant). Although using CMS for simulation analysis doesn't represent real-world deployment data, the difference isn't significant and it's still quite valuable for reference. If the newly acquired GG performs poorly, then we'll have to use the park's backup GG, but that's unlikely to happen.

On the other hand, it's necessary to detect whether newly filmed photos contain subconscious trigger points. This analytical data can be used in both Qian Jiayu's report and the work of the IR1 project team, and even the police may find it useful.

This simulation analysis is a special task and is not suitable for following the regular process. Lu Jiaqi was naturally aware of this, but deviating from the regular process did not mean that analysis commissioning was unnecessary, so she still inquired to confirm.

It's clear that she's someone who consistently follows the rules, something Wei Hongsi feels is worth learning from.

In the workplace, no one likes someone who doesn't follow the rules, unless they have the ability to break free from the constraints of the rules or create new ones.
