Chapter 1656: Fat Ricky

"Okay, I understand. You are sure there is no problem, we will go on." Lin Rui replied in a low voice. Then he winked at Jiang Jian, "Let's go, let's go in."
Jiang An took out the electronic access card at the door, swiped the door open, and walked in with Lin Rui. An armed guard immediately stopped them, "Do you have any help?"
He said this very politely, but in fact his face didn't mean to help at all, instead he was full of alertness.
Jiang An and Lin Rui showed him their credentials, and the guard nodded after seeing them. "Who are you looking for?"
"Professor Rich, should he be there?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Ricky? Of course, the fat guy in the communication lab." The guard nodded, "On the left side of the third floor, do you have an appointment?"
"Yes." Lin Rui replied.
The guard checked the tablet in his hand and nodded, "Oh, I found it. You do have an appointment, so goodbye." The guard didn't ask them more, just turned and left.
"It seems that I have a good idea. Maybe we will go well this time." Lin Rui nodded.
"Don't be too optimistic yet." Jiang An whispered. "That Ricky still doesn't know if he will help us."
"As long as you meet, you can't help him if you are willing or not." Lin Rui whispered.
Jiang An smiled, "That's right. We can't deal with the hordes of federal agents, can we still deal with a technical person? But I still hope to achieve this through peaceful means, so as not to provoke an alarm and cause trouble for our follow-up actions. ."
"I think so too." Lin Rui whispered. After they went upstairs, Lin Rui lowered his head and said, "Damn there are cameras everywhere here. We won't be seen through, right? I don't want to keep a low profile all morning, but was finally exposed by facial recognition software."
"Don't worry, boss, the monitoring system is under my remote control." Cobain whispered. "Otherwise, it's really hard to say. There may be information about you and Jiangan in the computer, but I can avoid this. Just now, I controlled the alarm system by the way through an implanted small program. Very hidden, but someone If something is wrong with you and you try to sound the alarm, I will know first. So you can act with confidence."
"What should I say?" Lin Rui shrugged, and stopped in front of the large room in front of him, "Communication Lab, will Ricky be in it?"
"You only know if you go in and take a look." Jiang An whispered.
They pushed the door open and quickly found Ricky's office according to the sign on the door. Ricky was already waiting for them. The white man looked a little fat, in his forties. And I don't seem to like their visit a bit.
"Oh, are you here? I only made this appointment on the schedule today. You know I'm too busy, and the assistant who helped me arrange the schedule is an idiot. But it's better not to tell him, because I don't want this one The idiots are also on strike." Ricky sighed, "You really belong to the Public Relations Department of the bureau?"
"Uh, yes." Lin Rui smiled and touched his face. "The bureau thinks that if there are Asian faces in public relations, it will help improve public image."
"That's also true. Come on, why are you two looking for me?" Ricky frowned.
"We need you to help us find a phone number." Jiang An took out the piece of paper and put it on the table.
Ricky took it, looked at it, and shook his head. "The prepaid mobile phone seems to be untraceable. Since you have come to me, you must have looked for other people before. My answer is the same as theirs. Yes, it cannot be traced. I'm sorry I can't help you."
"But the news we got is not like this, Professor, you can trace this call. I mean, through the prism." Lin Rui whispered.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Listen to the agent, I don't know where you heard the news, but I have to tell you. The Prism project has been cancelled, and even me, I can no longer pass this system. Do anything." Ricky shook his head.
"We know, but we also know that this is just official rhetoric. There is no need to cover up between us. We know that the monitoring system established by the Prism Project is still operating. Not only has it not stopped, it has even been carried out in the last few months. Several exciting updates. Now we are more efficient." Lin Rui looked at him.
"Well, since you all know that, why bother to come to me?! I have been excluded from the plan now. As you can see, I am a teacher here, and a communication designer like me was actually arranged Here, teach those agents how to use basic communication protocols.
I designed an outstanding and efficient monitoring system for them. But their abuse caused me to resign from the company and have to come here as a teaching staff. After everyone knew that the monitoring system was designed by me, they all accused me of being an eavesdropper, an e-mail voyeur, an accomplice of the U.S. government, disrespect for individuals, and serious integrity problems. "Fatty Ricky said with anger. "But I didn't do the fuck, it was someone like you. I'm just a technician, not an eavesdropper, you are. Now, don’t you find someone else to be responsible? Why are you looking for me? "
"No, wait, I don't quite understand..." Lin Rui was taken aback for a while, he frowned, "You mean you are not responsible for this system now?"
"Of course, I don't do it anymore." Ricky shook his head strangely, "They have been looking for someone to replace me for more than three months, but you still don't know? Are you federal agents?"
"Yes, uh. But you know that we are the public relations department responsible for dealing with the outside world. This kind of thing will neither be known to the outside world, nor need to inform us." Jiang An sighed, "Prism Wiretap Project The storm has been big enough."
"That's true, we are just employees in the bureau." Ricky shook his head.
"But technically, you can still help us find the location of this phone, right?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"Of course. But you really shouldn't find me." Ricky shook his head.
"But the professor is here. If you need to go back to the headquarters to find another person in charge, it will be very troublesome. The round trip takes two hours. You can see if you can help. This is actually not complicated for you. . But it has helped us a lot." Lin Rui said seriously.
Ricky looked at him, then looked at Jiang An, "Well, if you just check an address. There is no problem. I actually still have permission to use the Prism system, because the idiot who replaces me will not work. Many things are still I have to deal with it. Leave it to me, there should be no problem with just checking one phone."
