What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 216 No matter what, pay attention first

You can know the place of ownership of the car from the license plate, and the model and approximate year of the car can be seen from the tail label and some characteristics of the car. There is also a row of very thin advertising words on the lower edge of the license plate, which says the name and phone number of 4S. Although most of it was covered by mud at that time, and only a few numbers and two Chinese characters could be seen, it should not be difficult to find the Toyota 4S or second-level dealer if you know the area.

Then, you can start with the user data of that 4S or dealer to see if you can find it. In comparison, this is easier and less dangerous than going directly to the taxi management office.

But this is still a bit troublesome, Xiang Kun still wants to find a simpler and more direct way.

He continued to carefully recall the appearance and clothing details of the two people, the content of their conversation, and various conditions of the car.

Then he recalled that there was a row of half-missed stickers on the back of the car, leaving four and a half letters, the first four were CHEC, the second C had a dot in front, and the half letter after C could also be very It is easy to see that it should be O.

So there is a high probability that the sticker was originally a website address, ending with "", it is speculated that it may be a website similar to WWW....

A sticker will be pasted on the car, which is likely to be the website of the company that purchased the car in the first place. Of course, it is also possible that it is a private car with a sticker from that website for some reason.

From the conversation between the two, it can be clearly heard that they are going to leave by plane, and they are here on a business trip for the "company", and the license plate of the Prado belongs to this city, obviously it cannot be the two of them. A car that people usually drive. It should be that the "company" arranged for them after they got here, or they found the car themselves.

Maybe it's a rental car platform?

Anyway, there was still some time before boarding the plane, so Xiang Kun began to search based on these conditions. After searching for a while, he did find a website that basically met the requirements, but this website was not a car rental website, but a car maintenance and repair website. Website, offline chain stores. The offline stores of the website are basically in the province, mainly in two cities, the coverage is not wide, and the total number of stores does not exceed double digits.

In this case, this car may have been maintained at a store under this website before. What kind of discount was given, so this sticker was posted?

However, Xiang Kun searched the website, and unexpectedly saw a few promotional photos. In the photos, the maintenance personnel sent by the repair shop went out to "rescue" and troubleshoot the problems of their cars for customers on the side of the road. The maintenance man is a handsome and fair guy, and the owner of the car is a beautiful and lovely lady. It is obvious that it is a publicity photo.

But what Xiang Kun noticed was an SUV in the photo that was used as a vehicle for maintenance personnel.

It was a white Prado, although no license plate was photographed, and it looked much newer than the one driven by the two people that night, but judging from the traces on the lower part of the C-pillar of the vehicle, it was the same car.

That is to say, the Prado was not put on the sticker after being maintained at the maintenance shop on that website, but it was a car from the maintenance shop itself?

Then why can they drive that car? Through what relationship did you borrow it?

However, based on the tone of the chat between the two, Xiang Kun felt that it was unlikely that they would borrow a car through their relationship. Since they were out on business, the car would most likely be arranged by the company or paid for.

The company they mentioned should not refer to this car repair and maintenance company. All the places covered by this company's chain stores can be reached without flying.

Xiang Kun remembered the few promotions and advertisements he had seen on the homepage of the website, and then checked, and found that this company was acquired by "Shenxing Technology" last year.

No wonder there are many advertisements on the homepage, which seem to have the characteristics of Internet companies, and there are various "maintenance and free driving recorders", "participate in recording driving habits and get maintenance coupons and cash red envelopes", "participate in the experience of AI car steward Fuel card", "Participate in the activities of counting detailed fuel consumption and sending engine oil".

Xiang Kun of "Shenxing Technology" naturally knows that this company is a model of black technology. It is not as well-known as the giants in instant messaging, games, e-commerce, mobile phone manufacturing and other fields, but in fact they do a lot of things , has a wide range of applications and is indispensable for many electronic devices. Even if it is a unique technology in the world, it has complete patent barriers and extremely high profits.

Xiang Kun also saw a piece of news a while ago, saying that "Shenxing Technology" is testing the property management solution of drones and AI, and has obtained the license and permit, and is trial running in a pilot community.

Earlier, "Shenxing Technology" also published many various research results, some of which have already begun to be put into application.

However, they seldom make terminal products for civilian use by themselves. Most of the time, they use developed technologies and patents to cooperate with other well-known and mature manufacturers to launch products. Therefore, in many cases, it has a high reputation in the professional field, but its popularity in the public is relatively poor.

And Xiang Kun also vaguely felt that "Shenxing Technology" didn't seem to want to be too famous. Every time it released various products and research, it immediately disappeared, and the executives and bosses rarely spoke out.

What does a company like "Shenxing Technology" do for a car repair and maintenance company?

If you simply want relevant data, you can directly cooperate with such companies, or receive relevant big data from other related APPs and Internet companies. Do you think that the current method is more effective and comprehensive in obtaining data?

So, those two people were sent by "Shenxing Technology"?

The "company" they mentioned refers to "Shenxing Technology"?

Of course, it is also possible that they simply did not know how to get the car, and it has nothing to do with the maintenance company that the car originally belonged to and the "Shenxing Technology" behind it.

However, in comparison, Xiang Kun still prefers that "Shenxing Technology" discovered vampires and mutant creatures.

The announcement sounded in the terminal hall, and Xiang Kun's flight started to board.

Although there is no direct evidence to show that the two people who drove the Prado away that night were working for "Shenxing Technology", but Xiang Kun didn't want to sue others in court, and he didn't need hard evidence, he just needed free testimony. .

So if he suspects "Shenxing Technology", he should check "Shenxing Technology" directly.

After this investigation, Xiang Kun discovered that "Shenxing Technology" has been involved in so many fields.

From AI drones to programmable robot toys, from VR and AR game equipment to medical auxiliary equipment, from autonomous driving to new forces to build cars, from security equipment to the express delivery industry, there are all kinds of things, and now even car repair and maintenance The service industry has been involved, and the companies acquired and invested are all over the country.

Moreover, "Shenxing Technology" is not a listed company, and many things do not have complete information. They have to check from the news released by themselves, and there are already so many released by themselves.

Xiang Kun was dazzled and felt that the company's development direction and strategy were too random and weird.

The plane was about to take off, Xiang Kun turned off his phone, sat on his seat and looked sideways at the view of the airport runway outside, the names of the companies acquired and invested by "Shenxing Technology" flashed in his mind.

There are many companies that he has seen or heard of on weekdays, but he did not think at the time that "Shenxing Technology" stood behind them.

For example, there is a courier company called "Extra Fast". Although Xiang Kun has never used their services, he is deeply impressed by them, because this name is among the courier companies named Xfeng, Xtong, and Xbang. , It seems too special to have a personality, which makes people unforgettable.

When Xiang Kun was just checking the information, he saw the name of the courier company and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

At the beginning, he thought it was because he knew the courier company before and was impressed by the name. But soon he realized that there must be other reasons than that.

So he carefully searched the information and pictures in his memory about the "running very fast" express company, and then he remembered that he went to Yangcheng before, and wanted to "revisit the old place" where Guo Tianxiang was, so as to anchor Compared with Guo Tianxiang's complex memory fragments, when helping him find useful information, he once saw a van with the express logo "running very fast" outside the building where Guo Tianxiang's clinic was located.

Then, when he went to Guo Tianxiang's residence in Yangcheng and the residence of the dirty-braided female hacker Mi Qiao, he saw "very fast" express delivery vans around their buildings.

He knows that this express company has a very advanced sorting system and warehouse management system, but it has not been rolled out on a large scale. It only has a small amount of business in a few first- and second-tier cities in China. Most of them are in cooperation with enterprises, and there are very few private businesses. , The volume is far worse than those of the express industry giants.

However, as a first-tier city in China, it was normal for Yangcheng to have "very fast" express delivery vehicles. In addition, all the attention was on the people under police surveillance at the time, so Xiang Kun didn't find it strange.

But looking back now, Xiang Kun suddenly realized that something was wrong - with the "very fast" business volume, it was not normal for their vans to appear in those three locations at the same time. They are mainly engaged in the business of enterprises, and in fact, there are not so many enterprises with such a large business volume in those three locations.

If "Shenxing Technology" had done research on vampires and mutated creatures in the early morning, then they had noticed Guo Tianxiang's anomaly and the anomaly encountered by anchor Xue and the three in Qinling, and sent people to monitor Guo Tianxiang and Mi Qiaohui. Where it appeared, it can be explained by sending people to Qinling no man's land to collect samples and look for wild boar carcasses.

So "Shenxing Technology" has been involved in so many fields, and there are people in various places, to assist them in the investigation of mutant creatures that appear in various places?

Judging from the conversation between those two people that night, although they signed a non-disclosure agreement and other things, they didn't seem to know much. They didn't know the purpose of what they did and the use of the things they collected.

So, assuming that "Shenxing Technology" is the "company" that is investigating these, how do their top management know? Is it the boss's instruction?

Xiang Kun had checked before that Lu Cheng'an, the founder of "Shenxing Technology", started a mechanical parts processing factory in his early years and made a lot of money. Later, he began to enter the high-tech industry step by step. A few years ago, this Boss Lu, who was over 70 years old, also entered the top 100 of the Forbes rankings. And because "Shenxing Technology" has not been listed, many people think that the media's speculation about his net worth is too conservative.

However, Lu Chengan is even more low-key than his company. There are very few video materials and introductions about him, and he has never been interviewed in the past 20 years. It is the company's professional managers who deal with the media.

Could it be that Boss Lu is actually a vampire?

Xiang Kun guessed in his heart.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove his speculation, he has listed "Shenxing Technology" and Lu Cheng'an as targets that need to be vigilant and concerned.

No matter how sure you are, it is Xiang Kun's consistent way of doing things first to get a result, and then to verify and modify the result slowly.

The plane arrived at Star City smoothly all the way, so it was easy for Xiang Kun to find the chubby girl, just sense the coin and A4 paper.

But it was too late when he arrived in Star City, the little chubby girl had already been picked up by her mother from the kindergarten, and the chance meeting he had planned to pass by the kindergarten gate had to be cancelled.

Do you meet by chance elsewhere? Xiang Kun could do this easily. After all, the coin and A4 paper were moving all the time during the induction, and they should have been carried by the chubby girl all the time.

But would this be too deliberate? If he met again at the gate of the kindergarten, it can also be said that he would pass by here every time he came to Star City on business, so it was normal to meet again. But if they also meet by chance in other places, would it be too coincidental?

While thinking about the "encounter" plan, Xiang Kun had already hailed a car based on his perception of the coins and drove them all the way to a shopping mall. Not long after getting off the car, he saw the couple holding hands on the first floor of the shopping mall from afar. The little fat girl's hand is shopping for Shiling's mother.

Xiang Kun followed slowly while keeping a distance, focusing on the two of them, listening to their conversation.

"Shiling, stop playing with coins. Mom will buy you ice cream, okay? Do you want chocolate flavor or strawberry flavor?" Shiling's mother, who used to always prevent her daughter from eating ice cream, now actively seduces her.

Liu Shiling looked up at her mother, and said strangely: "Didn't mother always say, don't eat sweets before meals? We haven't had dinner yet?"

"Uh..." Shiling's mother was speechless for a while, and she didn't know whether she should comfort her child for being sensible. After all, Liu Shiling was about to fall asleep and couldn't open her eyes, so she told her there was ice cream. She can jump up again in no time.

The coin in Liu Shiling's hand kept rolling, looked at the dessert shop not far away, and said: "Mom, let's come back after dinner, I want to eat chocolate flavor. Mom, let's eat rabbit meat for dinner, I think It’s been a long time since I ate the dry pot rabbit meat made by Uncle Bald, I really want to eat it.”

Seeing her daughter's bright eyes when she talked about what to eat, and the familiar look of subconsciously licking her lower lip and swallowing her saliva after she finished speaking, Shi Ling's mother was inexplicably relieved.

In the distance, after hearing this, Xiang Kun immediately recalled the "map" of the mall he saw at the entrance when he entered the mall, and then quickly walked up the escalator from the other direction to the third floor where restaurants gathered - there was a A restaurant chain famous for its Sichuan style rabbit meat.
