The next morning, the sunlight streamed through the windows of the Mystery Mind Detective Agency, illuminating the room filled with books and files. Huang Renjie arrived early at the office, ready to welcome Shin. He knew that this case required more help, and Shin's professional skills were exactly what was needed.
Punctual, Shin arrived at the door of the detective agency. He had a calm exterior, exuding a serious and inviolable atmosphere. With dark skin, well-defined features, and a sturdy build, he appeared confident. He was dressed in a black tracksuit, a style clearly influenced by his long-term life experiences. Across his chest, he carried a small tactical waist pack containing his personal items and tools.
When he opened the door and walked into the office, Huang Renjie greeted him, " Shin, you're right on time. This is our office assistant, Auntie Hong. Auntie Hong, this is Shin, a former member of the Liáng Shān Special Operations Team who will assist us with the investigation." Huang Renjie introduced Shin with a smile.
Auntie Hong looked at Shin, nodded slightly, and then turned to continue organizing the documents. She knew this was an unusual case that required the involvement of a professional.
Shin smiled and responded, "Hello, Auntie Hong. I'm glad to be here. Mr. Huang has already briefed me on some basic details, and I hope to contribute to this case." His voice was deep and firm, exuding confidence and determination.
As Shin entered the Mystery Mind Detective Agency, he quickly surveyed the environment. The office was surprisingly run-down, as if it hadn't been renovated or tidied up for a long time. The desk was piled with case files and reports, and the bookshelf in the corner looked quite disorganized, with books and documents stacked together.
Shin's brow furrowed slightly as he quickly realized that Huang Renjie had not revealed the true situation of the detective agency. The place did not look like a normally operating detective agency, but more like an abandoned location.
However, Shin did not show surprise or dissatisfaction. He understood the importance of this case and realized that perhaps Huang Renjie also had his reasons. He decided not to ask too much, but to focus on the investigation and resolution of the case, as that was the most urgent matter.
Two people sat in the dilapidated office, shadows dancing in the corners as if waiting for their next move. Huang Renjie picked up a thick file with "Gate Break Case" prominently written on it, placing it on the table and beginning to explain.
"This is the case we recently took on, involving a hacker named King Cobra and his organization. They are plotting to sabotage the country's network system, which could pose a significant threat to our national security," Huang Renjie explained with a serious look in his eyes, knowing this was a highly challenging case.
Huang Renjie's expression became more serious, and he explained to Shin: "A cyber paralysis could cause significant problems for our country. In modern society, the internet has permeated every sector, from government agencies to financial institutions, and even to infrastructure. Almost all systems rely on the internet to function."
He continued to explain: "If King Cobra and his organization successfully disrupt our internet systems, it will have serious consequences for the country. Firstly, government data and confidential information could be stolen, posing a threat to our national security. Secondly, financial institutions could come under attack, leading to a financial crisis. Most importantly, our infrastructure, such as electricity, water supply, and transportation, could be paralyzed, causing great difficulties and dangers for the people."
"Furthermore, internet paralysis could pose a threat to national defense. Our military systems and communication networks rely on highly secure internet. If they are attacked and disrupted, it will affect our defense capabilities. King Cobra and his organization not only endanger the country's economy and infrastructure but also potentially create vulnerabilities in our defense, which is unacceptable."
Shin nodded in agreement, understanding that King Cobra's actions not only constituted a crime but also posed a significant threat to the security and stability of the entire country. Huang Renjie continued to explain: "King Cobra is usually a lone wolf, and based on his previous data, he is a top hacker who enjoys self-challenges, often targeting the most difficult objectives for attacks and provocations. Therefore, it is difficult to understand who initiated this attack. Currently, our only breakthrough is a small gang called 'Racing gang.' They are responsible for various connections for King Cobra and the organization, possibly involving the transmission of information, data, and even participating in actual attacks. Although their understanding of the case details may be limited, they should have valuable information."
Shin fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you had any contact with this ' Racing gang'? Is there any clue or information we can follow?"
Huang Renjie looked at Shin with a hint of confusion on his face. He admitted, "Actually, we haven't had formal contact with the ' Racing gang' yet. Our sources of information are relatively limited, but we know they have a base called 'Black Iron Bar.' It's said to be their gathering place, so perhaps we can start there to find more clues."
Shin nodded in understanding, then thought for a moment. He looked at Huang Renjie with determination in his eyes and said, "Alright, 'Black Iron Bar' is our first target. We need a plan to approach them carefully and effectively to gather intelligence. This is a dangerous game, but we won't give up easily."
The two decided to investigate "Black Iron Bar" together. After careful consideration, Huang Renjie and Shin agreed that Shin would infiltrate the bar while Huang Renjie would stay outside in the car to observe, assist Shin, and be ready to evacuate at any time.
They parked the car, and Huang Renjie attached a pinhole camera to Shin's chest. Shin checked his wireless earpiece to ensure smooth communication. Then, they further discussed the details of entering the bar.
Shin put on civilian clothes to avoid unnecessary attention. He packed his belongings, including a pen and a notebook, as well as a small knife in case of danger. Then, he entered the "Black Iron Bar."
In the car, Huang Renjie opened his laptop and activated the camera link, displaying Shin's perspective on the screen. He nervously awaited Shin's report, ready to provide support at any moment to ensure Shin's safety.
This was a risky plan, but they both knew that it was the only way to find more clues and uncover the secrets behind King Cobra.
