At this point, Gu Ji suddenly paused and touched the sensing bomb on his neck, "And add one more thing: a top-notch hacker who can make bombs."
"Although United States law does not prohibit guns, each state strictly bans powerful weapons like explosives, hand grenades, and landmines. To make a bomb, you'd have to go to building material markets like Home Depot to buy raw materials such as fertilizer, steel pipes, and nails to refine and manufacture makeshift bombs."
"But electronic detonators aren't something just anyone can get, let alone the fact that the remote-controlled bombs you've made are very sophisticated. For example, an IED remote-controlled bomb detonated on the subway requires not only the construction of the bomb body but also modifications to the phone motherboard. This isn't something you can learn just by looking up a few things online."
"Therefore, I speculate that you must have a military background, maybe a bomb disposal expert, or have received special operations training. Coupled with your high computer skills, it shouldn't be hard to pinpoint your identity, right?"
Gu Ji, who mastered Marine Corps bomb disposal skills, was well aware of the complexity of making such a bomb.
First is the structural modification, where you need to remove the vibration motor from the phone motherboard and connect the positive and negative circuits linked to the vibration motor to the detonator in the IED. To ensure successful detonation, it's usually necessary to set up two groups of detonators;
Then there's the information remote control technology, which requires setting a phone and message whitelist to reject all calls and messages except those from the remote control number;
The simple phone and message detonation IED method is only suitable in backward areas. If applied in developed regions, this method would quickly be traced by the police through technical means, checking all incoming and outgoing calls and messages at the explosion site to pinpoint the target.
So a clever criminal often uses more secure technical means to detonate an IED: network remote control detonation technology, which requires a certain level of computing technology.
From all these points, it's easy to come to the conclusion he mentioned:
Hacker, bomb expert, military-trained background!
Gu Ji finished speaking.
The live stream viewers were all stunned.
[Damn, this person is so amazing, just a few words to identify the terrorist?]
[Everyone, hurry up and call the police to let the FBI catch this bomber!]
[Seriously impressive, even under these circumstances, can think calmly, and be so clear about the criminal process; hasn't this person done this before?]
[I really doubt if it's already been replaced, the real assistant has long since died, and now it's the police playing the role, which is why he's afraid to livestream!]
[What about the bomber? Why isn't he coming out to respond?]
[Hahaha, probably because he was right, and broke down on the spot; is pretending to be scared now? Better pack up and run quickly!]
[I know you're in a hurry, but don't be too hasty! Do you dare to come out and say something?]
...
Many live stream viewers were also not afraid of things getting bigger, continuously urging the bomber to respond, but after a few seconds, all it sent back were two commas, as if the result of angrily hitting the keyboard and mis-touching.
To be honest, this is exactly the result Gu Ji wanted to see.
If you mess with my mindset, I'll mess with yours.
Although the rules expressly prohibited him from seeking help from others, it didn't say he couldn't analyze himself. As long as he spoke out the bomber's key information, there would certainly be enthusiastic netizens who would report it.
Even if no one paid attention, once the recorded video is posted online, it will still be seen by the police and FBI, and by then, the state will take action, indirectly helping Gu Ji deal with the mastermind behind the scenes.
As for why he wasn't afraid the bomber would get angry and directly kill him?
It's simple.
As analyzed previously, this terrorist needs attention too much.
Now, two of the three "puppets" the bomber selected are already dead, leaving only Gu Ji. Why would he kill him so easily, since once the person dies, things can't continue to spread, and the bomber's true purpose can't be achieved?
Sure enough.
After nearly half a minute of silence, the remote-controlled bomb wasn't detonated, and the bomber finally came forward to respond.
[Art Requires Cruelty: I admit, your mind is indeed quite brilliant, but do you think you can identify me with just this information? Haha, you're too naive. You'd better put more thought into finding the bomb, you only have... 46 minutes left before the coordinates are exposed. Good luck!]
Gu Ji ignored the bomber's "mockery."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had already found the main venue of the US Open on the map, right in the Queens District where he was located.
Putting away the map, he took out Baron's phone and began searching for all information about the venue.
Before taking any action, intelligence analysis is always the first priority.
It was startling to investigate.
Although the US Open isn't as popular as the Big Four Leagues in the United States, there are still hundreds of thousands of diehard fans, and during the competition, the stadium tickets are almost sold out. This year's open was held from August 31 to September 13, located at Arthur Court in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens!
It is also the largest outdoor public tennis venue in the United States, accommodating nearly 24,000 people simultaneously.
And there happens to be a match today at 9:00 AM, with less than two hours to go. If the bomb is planted here and detonated, it would be one of the most terrifying bombings in history!
"Looking at the New York map, Elmhurst Avenue is only two stations away from Flushing Park, about three kilometers, walking takes 40 minutes, jogging takes 25 minutes..."
