There are no eternal enemies, and no eternal friends. There are only eternal benefits!
Times Square, southwest corner, rooftop of Rudi Building.
Shi Lei and Raphael were talking face to face, separated by about a meter.
Raphael was very satisfied with his performance. After his efforts, he had finally "settled" Shi Lei and asked him to prepare to reveal information about Mr. M.
In fact, Raphael had no idea that all of this was just Shi Lei's conspiracy. He was like an insect that had fallen into a spider's web and was being wrapped tighter and tighter.
Shi Lei, who was standing opposite Raphael, took a deep breath, sighed, and said, "Mr. Dulles, for the last time, I hope you won't tell anyone about our conversation."
"Don't worry!
I swear in the name of God! "Raphael swore.
Shi Lei nodded and slowly said, "I don't know much about Mr. M, but I'm not sure if he's a good man or not.
Before I entered Mirui Technology Group, Mr. M suddenly found me and chose me to be his agent.
I'm an ordinary hacker. When Mr. M showed his incomparably powerful hacking skills, I directly chose to become his agent. "
Raphael nodded and didn't urge Shi Lei.
"After I became Mr. M's agent, I didn't have close contact with him.
The number of times we contacted each other could be counted on one hand.
This included one video conference, three voice calls, and five text messages, "Shi Lei continued.
"Okay!" Raphael responded to Shi Lei, indicating that he was listening.
"From the five text messages, according to the language and expression habits, I analyzed a result. Mr. M should be from Lijian Province, not Mr. Xia's, as the outside world speculated." Shi Lei gave a useful piece of information.
"Lijian Province's?" Raphael was very surprised. "Mr. Shi, are you sure?"
Mr. M had at least done something that looked very much like Mr. Xia's.
However, if everyone thought that Mr. M was Mr. Xia's, why couldn't Mr. M be from Lijian Province?
The more impossible something was, the more likely it was!
That was because the more impossible something was, the more people would actively ignore it, making it the safest thing to do.
"I'm sure!
Because, in addition to the text analysis results, I found other key evidence in that video conference. "
Shi Lei continued, "That was before Mr. M betrayed us. Mr. M and I were quite familiar with each other. We started a video conference, and it was the only video conference we ever had.
Unfortunately, during the video conference, Mr. M was wearing a wraparound mask, so we couldn't see any facial features of Mr. M clearly. "
Raphael did not say anything. Instead, he waited for Shi Lei to continue with the evidence.
"During that video conference, although I didn't get Mr. M's facial features, I found a copy of The New York Times in the background through the camera.
Furthermore, the date is the date of the day. "
Shi Lei chuckled and continued, "Mr. Dulles, under normal circumstances, the New York Times only sells in Lijian Province, right?"
Raphael nodded. Under normal circumstances, The New York Times was indeed only sold in Lijian Province. After all, the date of the newspaper was the same day. The probability of Mr. M being in Lijian Province was very high.
"Mr. Shi, please forgive me. This information can only prove that Mr. M is in Lijian Province, not Lijian Province, right?" Raphael asked Shi Lei.
Shi Lei did not refute, but spoke the truth. "Mr. Dulles, in the three voice communications, although Mr. M used an electronic voice changer to change his voice color, he couldn't have changed the local dialect slang, right?
In the three voice communications, Mr. M used a total of seven slang phrases, all of which were Lijian Province slang. Four of them were the most commonly used slang phrases in New York City. "
Raphael felt a little uncomfortable. Hearing that Mr. M was from Lijian Province and was his compatriot, Raphael naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Mr. Shi, do you know anything else?" Raphael asked.
They only knew that Mr. M was from Lijian Province, or even New York City, which was not very useful.
After all, the entire Lijian Province had a population of more than three hundred million, and the New York metropolitan area had a population of more than twenty million. Even the city of New York had a population of more than eight million.
Trying to find Mr. M among eight million people was like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
Shi Lei said, "There's one more piece of information, but I don't know if it's accurate."
Raphael quickly asked, "What is it?
It doesn't matter if it's accurate or not. We don't know Mr. M's identity now anyway. One more piece of information means one more clue! "
"Alright!
In fact, this piece of information was also discovered during the video conference.
At that time, during the video conference, someone looked for Mr. M in the middle. The other party seemed to have called Mr. M's name, but Mr. M quickly turned off the microphone, so I didn't hear clearly what that person called Mr. M, "Shi Lei explained.
"Ah?
Mr. Shi, didn't you hear clearly at all?
Even if you only heard the sound of the beginning of the name, it's still good news! "Raphael asked expectantly.
Shi Lei nodded and said, "I heard it clearly. The other person called out a name that started with 'Ga', but I didn't hear the rest. I don't know if it was Gale, Gary, or Gavin."
Lijian Province people's names were different from Xia Xia people's English names. They had their own naming rules, and usually, they wouldn't give strange names like Xia Xia people's English names.
Common English names that started with 'Ga' were Gale Gale, Gary Gary, and Gavin Gavin. Each name had its own meaning and wasn't randomly chosen.
Raphael thought, "If we use this condition to filter into NYPD's population records and make a judgment based on these people's resumes, we might have a chance to find Mr. M.
Mr. Shi, do you have any more information?
If we have more information, we'll have a better chance of finding Mr. M. "
Shi Lei snickered inwardly. Mr. M was standing right in front of Raphael!
"Let me think. There really isn't much information about Mr. M." Shi Lei rubbed his temples and looked like he was thinking seriously.
After thinking for nearly three minutes, Shi Lei suddenly clapped his hands. "I remember now. During the video conference, there was something very strange."
"What was it?" Raphael asked hurriedly.
Shi Lei looked like he was trying hard to remember, as if he was talking to himself. "During the video conference, someone was looking for Mr. M. Mr. M turned off the microphone and then pressed the camera down.
When the camera was pressed down, I saw a piece of A4 paper with two very strange words written on it.
The two words were 'Devil-13' and 'Devil-14.' I don't know what they mean. "
After hearing this, Raphael's expression was very strange, as if he had understood something. His eyes flickered.
"Mr. Shi, are you sure you saw 'Devil-13' and 'Devil-14'?" Raphael asked for confirmation.
"Yes, I'm sure!
Mr. Dulles, you seem to know the meaning of these two words.
May I ask, what do they represent? "Shi Lei showed a touch of curiosity.
Raphael didn't answer, but asked, "Mr. Shi, does your Mirui Technology Group have the technology to modify the video?
For example, removing the traces of someone from the real-time surveillance video? "
Shi Lei shook his head. "Mr. Dulles, if you were Raphael, you would know that this is impossible.
Real-time surveillance video is a real-time image. How can it be modified? "
"Is that so?
Then I understand! "Raphael nodded." Mr. Shi, thank you for the information.
Please wait patiently for what happens next. I will definitely catch Mr. M! "
Shi Lei showed curiosity and asked, "Who is Mr. M?
Mr. Dulles, you seem to know Mr. M's identity, right?
Just based on the information just now?
Tell me Mr. M's identity, and I can provide you with some additional help! "
Raphael shook his head. "Thank you, Mr. Shi. I don't need your help with this matter for now. As for Mr. M's identity, I can't tell you for now."
Of course, Raphael couldn't tell Shi Lei that according to the information he had analyzed, Mr. M was actually Gabriel from the Angel Council!
When Raphael deduced this result, his heart was filled with shock. His first thought was that it was impossible!
However, as the rapid analysis went on, Raphael silently accepted the fact that there was a traitor in the Angel Council!
This was because some things that couldn't be explained could be perfectly explained if Mr. M's real identity was Gabriel.
According to Shi Lei's information, from the recent to the distant analysis, Shi Lei missed out one of the names that started with "Ga." That was "Gabriel," which was also "Gabriel."
Next, he analyzed the attack on the Angel Fund Investment Management Company.
The surveillance video didn't capture the information of the intruder, so it was entirely possible that Gabriel had used his authority to modify the recording time of the surveillance video.
Thinking further, Uriel's identity was so well-hidden, so why was it suddenly exposed?
Moreover, when Raphael and Uriel were hiding in a secret base in California, Mr. M knew their location information.
At that time, Raphael had suspected that Mr. M was so resourceful that he could even find the secret base of the Angel Council.
Now it seemed that Mr. M wasn't resourceful, but that he knew the whereabouts of Raphael and Uriel.
In addition to these, there was another important point of suspicion. When Raphael mobilized the strength of the Devil Mercenary Group to go to Nanyue State to investigate and eliminate Mr. M's forces, none of the forces that belonged to Gabriel had been mobilized.
This included Devil-13 and Devil-14 mentioned by Shi Lei, which were the thirteenth and fourteenth main combat teams of the Devil Mercenary Group. These two main combat teams of the Devil Mercenary Group directly belonged to Gabriel.
Even within the Angel Council, this matter was only known to the top personnel of the Angel Council.
This was one of the reasons why Raphael believed Shi Lei. Shi Lei couldn't possibly know such a secret matter.
"Alright!
Mr. Dulles, I await your good news! "
Shi Lei looked regretful. He took out a business card from his trouser pocket and handed it to Raphael. "Mr. Dulles, if you need my help, remember to contact me!"
Raphael accepted Shi Lei's business card and nodded. "Okay!"
In his heart, Raphael had already begun to think about how to test Gabriel and carry out the final verification …
