520: Are you Su Yue?

Autopsy reports are never released to the public; even lawyers have no right to view them. The Municipal Bureau usually only provides an autopsy notification, while the detailed autopsy report is strictly for internal circulation. Therefore, this report was naturally kept safely in the archives office, not the regular archive room. This was also a part of his plan that had to be considered.

Cui Jia led Su Yue to the fourth floor; the Captain surnamed Xiao was still sitting steadily behind his desk.

Cui Jia walked straight into the room and said to the slightly plump Captain Xiao, "Xiao Team, I've brought a new person who wants to look at the autopsy report."

Pu Tao looked up and glanced at Cui Jia, then a string of questions blurted out: "Which law firm are you from? Have you completed the procedures? Who let you into my office?"

The scene became a bit awkward for a moment.

Cui Jia was stunned; the other party seemed not to recognize him.

Although the Special Task Force and the archives office didn't interact much normally, Cui Jia remembered Pu Tao's name, but clearly, Pu Tao had no impression of him.

Although Cui Jia felt a bit embarrassed, he still awkwardly explained, "Brother Xiao, I'm Little Cui from the Special Task Force. We even saw each other in the cafeteria at noon. This is the new person I brought. I'm the forensic doctor, do you remember? I brought him to look at the autopsy report. Is it convenient?"

While Cui Jia was awkwardly explaining, Su Yue had already quietly observed the layout of Pu Tao's office.

This office was different from their Municipal Bureau office. Besides the main door facing the corridor, after entering, you could only turn right, and there was another room inside. That room should contain the autopsy reports they needed, as well as the computer capable of accessing the fingerprint database.

"Clap!"

The sudden sound of clapping interrupted Su Yue's thoughts.

"Ah! You're Little Cui from the fifth floor, right!"

Pu Tao clapped his hand, saying with sudden understanding, "I remember now! Why aren't you wearing a white coat? What's going on today?"

Saying this, he pulled open a drawer and took out a large bunch of jingling keys.

Cui Jia originally wanted to say that he never wore a white coat when coming to the office, but thinking of Su Yue standing behind him, he didn't say more.

He smiled awkwardly, "Yeah, I'm not wearing one today."

Pu Tao stood up with the keys and walked towards the adjacent office.

While selecting a key, he said, "I still know Jin Tianqin from your Special Task Force. She was in the class next to mine when we went for training that year. That year, she competed with someone from Fengtian surnamed Xu for rank, but I forgot the final result..."

As Pu Tao spoke, he had already opened the other door of the office.

Su Yue kept staring at his hand, remembering which key it was.

Then his gaze followed the opened door and looked inside.

This room seemed not to have been cleaned for a long time; there was a visible layer of dust on the floor.

Four cabinets were placed against the four walls, making this already small room appear even narrower.

In the center of the room was a desk with a computer on it. The computer model looked relatively new and seemed to have some signs of use. Next to the computer were a printer, a scanner, and an inconspicuous fingerprint scanner.

Clearly, this was Su Yue's objective for this trip.

To go abroad, the first thing was to solve the fingerprint issue on the visa.

Once the fingerprint issue was resolved, leaving would be much more convenient.

"Heh heh... Nowadays, everything is electronic office work. Besides using the computer, this room hasn't been cleaned for a long time."

As soon as Pu Tao stepped in, he made this already narrow space even more crowded.

He pressed the computer button and then said, "There's software on this for searching scanned autopsy reports. You young people know more than I do, so take a look. Let's go to the cafeteria together at noon."

After speaking, Pu Tao left the room.

Meanwhile, Su Yue's gaze remained fixed on the monitor.

The computer turned on, and network connection options popped up on the desktop.

Network connection successful.

Looking at the software on the desktop, Su Yue immediately locked onto an icon labeled "Fingerprint Database".

But Cui Jia had already clicked the mouse on another software.

"Right, the recent autopsy reports are all here. Look at this one named Du Xue; she was a psychology professor at Taiyang University and also a perverted killer. Her body had extensive burns..."

As Cui Jia spoke, he scrolled the mouse wheel.

While listening to him, Su Yue observed the surroundings of the room.

He found there was a surveillance camera here.

"The surveillance camera is directly facing the computer screen... Judging from its style, it's an infrared camera, with good performance at night. Whether it has an independent power supply... impossible to determine."

Su Yue felt a bit troubled; achieving his goal would be somewhat difficult.

First, to enter this office, he would need to steal the spare key from the security guard; second, after entering the office, he would need to open the drawer containing the keys, and it was currently uncertain whether Pu Tao carried that large bunch of keys with him; finally, the camera must also be dealt with.

This problem was a bit complicated.

Cui Jia's voice continued to pour into Su Yue's ears...

"This Du Xue case isn't very useful for reference; she was burned beyond recognition. Let's look at the next one."

Although steps two and three could be prepared in advance, the randomness of step one was too great. Coupled with Qi Si being in the same room as him... this situation was truly tricky.

He couldn't be discovered. Even if his identity was eventually exposed, the situation of sneaking into the archives office couldn't be noticed, otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Su Yue had to find a perfect opportunity to execute this operation flawlessly. If even one step was missed, it would be a complete failure!

"Zhong Qi, look at the photo of this body. Can you tell if there's anything wrong?"

Zhong Qi's thoughts were interrupted. He looked at the photo on the computer screen and spoke almost without thinking: "The deceased... was stabbed thirteen times in the back... the wounds are dense... Is there something wrong with this case?"

Hearing Zhong Qi's words, Cui Jia was silent for a moment, feeling a bit puzzled. Did Su Yue see the problem at a glance?

He opened his mouth and asked, "Oh? What's wrong?"

Zhong Qi directly explained: "The deceased was stabbed thirteen times in the back, and the wounds are dense. This indicates that the victim had already lost the ability to move at that time. Otherwise, the shoulder blades would block the wounds, and such injuries would not be fatal. If the injuries were not fatal, the victim would definitely resist, and the wounds wouldn't be so dense."

Hearing Zhong Qi's explanation, Cui Jia's expression changed slightly. Did he really see it just by looking? But he didn't show his inner surprise, just nodded and said, "Not bad, your thinking is very quick. Although this case is closed, the suspect suffers from pathological semi-conscious state disorder, but he was still sentenced to death in the first trial. This guy dismembered and discarded the body after killing, the circumstances are extremely heinous."

After Cui Jia finished speaking, he continued to scroll the wheel to view the autopsy report of the next case. But most reports were about car accidents and the like, with little reference value. Afterward, he began to explain the relationship between vehicle speed and the victim's physical condition, continuing until lunchtime. In the afternoon, they returned to this small room and continued to view the autopsy reports.

During this process, a highly feasible plan gradually formed in Su Yue's mind. However, the peaceful life before him was about to be completely shattered.

The Municipal Bureau's closing time was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon. Zhong Qi and his colleagues from the Municipal Bureau returned to the apartment together. They didn't know that only twelve hours remained until the outbreak of a major event.

At this moment, everything seemed so tranquil, like the calm before the storm.

In Jinrong, the sun set, and night fell. The building of Haidong Daily, usually dark at this hour, was now completely dark except for the streetlights outside. But on this day, the floor where the editorial team was located was brightly lit, and the lights hadn't been turned off since they were turned on. Not only the editors but even the director personally stayed in the office.

With the advancement of the technological era, newspapers, this form of news media, were gradually being replaced, and sales were declining day by day. However, Haidong Daily was currently at a break-even point between profit and loss; they needed a shot in the arm. And once the truth of ZC5546 was exposed, it would bring Haidong Daily its final glory.

The director knew well what impact the exposure of this matter would bring, but he was resolute. Wasn't this the role of a newspaper? Shouldn't reporters report the truth?

"Director Li, everything is ready." The head of the online editorial team stood before him and said, "At six o'clock tomorrow morning, the data on major websites will be generated. Weibo should be the first to hit the hot search, followed by Baidu Index, Toutiao Hot Topics, etc. All major portal websites are ready, starting from six o'clock tomorrow morning until the morning rush hour!"

Meanwhile, Editor-in-chief Wang also came before the director and said excitedly, "Tomorrow's supplement has passed the final review. We have already sent it to the printing factory, and it will be delivered to various newspaper stands around 5:40 tomorrow morning. This might break our historical sales record!"

The director nodded, but didn't speak for a moment. It was already eleven o'clock at night, and the colleagues in the editorial team were nervously preparing all the work before the final deadline. He felt that the atmosphere in the newspaper office at this time was somewhat nostalgic.

However, finally, he stood up and said, "Everyone has worked hard. At six o'clock tomorrow morning, let's witness the truth being revealed to the world together!"

At six o'clock in the morning on November 4th, the office workers in Jinrong woke up early. To reduce living costs, most of them chose to rent outside the Fifth Ring Road, so they had to get up early to catch the nine o'clock start time.

When an office worker was woken up by his alarm clock, he opened his tired eyes, lit up his phone screen, habitually opened Weibo, and aimlessly browsed the trending topics. Suddenly, his attention was caught by the top hot search item—"Haidong Daily Reveals Professor He Jiaxin's Identity?"

"Professor He Jiaxin?" he wondered. "Is that the one who flew the plane the month before last?" That incident caused quite a stir at the time, so he certainly remembered it.

He clicked on this hot search topic and saw the Weibo post with the highest relevance—it was from Haidong Daily's official Weibo account. The brief text accompanied by nine pictures made him increasingly shocked as he looked at them.

He immediately clicked on the pictures. When he saw the cover of Haidong Daily on November 4th and the photos of Professor Lin Yi and Su Yue, he suddenly went from lying down to sitting up, completely startled awake.

"My God..." He flipped through page after page, looking at the pictures filled with text. Every word and sentence on them shook his mind! Professor He Jiaxin was actually an eighteen-year-old fugitive? And he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination!

He immediately clicked share and sent this news to the group chat. However, he found that the group, which he had originally muted, had already started discussing this matter!

"What a genius this Su Yue is!" "I think it's fake, right?" "Haidong Daily is an old newspaper; how could this be fake?" "This person is too ruthless!"... He also immediately sent a few facepalm emojis and then commented, "I feel like I've lived for twenty-something years for nothing!"

As soon as he sent this sentence, someone else shared the same news in the group. Then this person also expressed amazement, "Huh? Everyone knows already?" "This Su Yue is too awesome!"

However, this was just a microcosm. A microcosm of countless social circles! An explosive topic! Fifty million out of the country's eight hundred million netizens quickly joined this discussion! And these fifty million rapidly spread out like cell proliferation! Full coverage by newspapers and the internet! Su Yue's name resounded throughout the country at this moment!

On Weibo's hot search, the words #Su Yue# quickly surpassed #Haidong Daily Reveals Professor He Jiaxin's Identity#, jumping to first place! And the gap continued to widen! Not only that... among the hot search list of only fifty items, thirteen were related to Su Yue! The words "Su Yue" became the focus of national attention at six o'clock in the morning on November 4th!

At 6:00 AM on October 4th, Professor He Jiaxin's identity caused a sensation across the entire network.

Hot searches related to Su Yue quickly overshadowed the newly released Marvel movie and suppressed the gossip about many celebrities. Many celebrities even personally stepped in to post passionate comments, but then deleted them immediately, after all, Su Yue's identity was truly sensitive.

At 6:40, the Weibo hot search index exceeded twenty million, causing the server to crash. However, this did not hinder people's enthusiasm for seeking the truth in the slightest.

Comments on Toutiao's server grew rapidly, with five thousand new comments per second, while the WeChat Index and Baidu Index remained strong. Zha Lang's engineering department took urgent action, requiring programmers to resolve the server downtime issue within three hours.

Although Zha Lang's director, Wei Xuanguo, was concerned about the server recovery time, he was also paying attention to the matter of "Professor He Jiaxin"'s identity. Originally, in his view, many secrets in the eyes of the public were not secrets at all, but he didn't expect things to have such a huge reversal! The hero He Jiaxin was actually a fugitive! From Yangcheng to Jinling, his identity constantly changed, from student to university professor to pilot, it was truly incredible.

"The world is full of wonders..." Wei Xuanguo thought to himself, "I really want to meet such a person, what kind of existence he is."

Taoyang, 6:03 AM.

A Qi was woken up by the phone ringing. He fumbled to find the vibrating phone and answered the call. After just listening for two sentences, he suddenly sat up from the bed.

"What!? He Jiaxin's identity has been exposed!? Who did it!? Haidong Daily? How did they find out? Who is the reporter?"

A Qi originally thought the reporter wouldn't leave their name, or at least wouldn't dare to make it public, but he quickly received the name—"Miao Zhixing".
