Chapter 82 Chopping Off the Hand

Wei Hongsi continued, "I believe the triggering conditions for this 'circuit breaker mechanism' must include key information about their organization, such as key personnel, contact networks, criminal plans, and so on. If members of the organization are prepared to disclose this information to outsiders, whether voluntarily or under duress, and regardless of the method used, it will immediately trigger this mechanism."

Upon hearing his speculation, the expressions of Director Liang, Director Shi, and Yu Zhen all became serious.

The task force believes that "Dux Lumina" is the official name of the criminal organization. Based on the meaning of their "creed," it can be translated as "Light Guide Society" or simply "DL."

Over the past two decades, the Guiding Light Society has secretly planned and carried out numerous cases, but the root cause has never been traced. This is because the mastermind behind each case dies immediately upon being caught, making it impossible to obtain any clues from the perpetrators that point to the organization's upper echelons.

To date, Mu Jie is the only exception among all known cases related to the Light Guide Association.

The name "Dux Lumina" was deciphered from Mujer's mind. This name had never been disclosed by any organization before, which in itself is strong evidence.

Although Wei Hongsi's speculation has not been fully confirmed, various signs indicate that a "circuit breaker mechanism" does exist in the brains of key members of the Light Guide Society.

From this perspective, the true cause of death of the main perpetrator in the R country loan case is no longer important. Even if this is another exception, it does not prove that the "circuit breaker mechanism" does not exist.

So the task force was faced with a critical problem: when they arrested the suspect, they would only get a corpse if there were no "accidents".

They had originally intended to avoid a repeat of Mu Jie's situation, but according to Wei Hongsi's analysis, that was actually the best-case scenario, at least they could still fish out some valuable clues.

Yu Zhen asked, "Hong Si, what do you think caused Mu Jie's accident? Can that situation be replicated?"

Director Liang and Director Shi both looked at Wei Hongsi, as this was the question they wanted to ask.

Since we can't get key clues directly from the suspect, let's settle for second best. If we can recreate Mu Jie's situation, we can use dream interpretation to uncover clues and at least sever the tentacles of the Guide Light Society that have reached Yuecheng.

Wei Hongsi pondered for a moment and asked, "Chief Yu, how effective were emergency medical measures during the arrest of Mu Jie?"

Yu Zhendao said, "They basically didn't play any role on site."

Director Shi added, "Mu Jie was sent to our monitoring center shortly after his arrest. As his condition gradually deteriorated, medical personnel took some necessary measures to maintain his basic vital signs, but did not perform any intervention on his brain."

Wei Hongsi said, "From this perspective, Mu Jie's situation is significantly different from that of the main perpetrators in other cases. Even without medical intervention, he would not have suffered brain death in a short period of time."

Director Liang and the other two nodded in agreement with this conclusion.

Wei Hongsi pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's very likely that there's a bug in the 'circuit breaker mechanism' in Mu Jie's brain. This should be related to Mu Jie's own situation, but I can't determine the specific reason."

"So, it means there's no way to replicate Mu Jie's situation?" Yu Zhen asked, frowning.

Director Liang and Director Shi couldn't help but show their disappointment.

"Copying is indeed unlikely." Wei Hongsi paused for a moment, then said, "However, there are other ways, but they would require breaking with convention."

"Then stop beating around the bush." ​​Yu Zhen immediately perked up. "Just tell me your plan!"

Wei Hongsi said, "Based on the interpretation of Mu Jie's dream, the 'internal language' obviously will not trigger the 'circuit breaker mechanism.' Therefore, as long as the suspect's information exchange behavior can be stopped, the triggering of the 'circuit breaker mechanism' can be avoided."

"Prevent the suspect from transmitting information?" Yu Zhen repeated the question with some confusion, then pondered for a moment before suddenly understanding its meaning.

He looked at Director Liang and Director Shi, and saw that the two leaders had rather complicated expressions, clearly understanding what Wei Hongsi's method meant.

Under what circumstances would a person lose the ability to communicate? There are many situations, of course, but in their case, a coma-like state is clearly the most appropriate.

Furthermore, to avoid triggering the "circuit breaker mechanism," the suspect must be put into a dazed state without being aware of or prepared.

Yu Zhen came up with more than a dozen solutions in a very short time, all of which were extracted from the cases he had handled.

No wonder Wei Hongsi seemed hesitant when he spoke, and even mentioned breaking with convention. This is more than just breaking with convention; for them, it's a serious violation, even illegal, act.

"This is not a good situation." Yu Zhen shook his head with a wry smile. "It's hard for him to not notice the investigation that's being conducted around the suspect."

Director Shi nodded and said, "The on-site investigation of Mu Jie's 'safe house' should have already alerted the suspects."

The search for the "safe house" was an open secret; if the police hadn't done it, they wouldn't have gotten any clues about Mu Jie's accomplices.

Mu Jie's accomplices were probably well aware that the police would find the place sooner or later. What they didn't know was that the police had a special purpose in finding the place.

Therefore, they will not flee, but they will certainly be more vigilant. The "safe house" is like a warning wall for them.

This significantly increased the difficulty of the investigation surrounding the suspect. If the suspect were to exceed what they perceived as a safe distance, they would inevitably have countermeasures. At that point, not only would they likely fail to obtain a confession, but they might also lose all crucial physical evidence.

Wei Hongsi asked, "Do the perpetrators of that organization no longer have tattoos or other identifying marks on their bodies?"

"Yes," Director Liang nodded. "After the loan case in Country R, ​​their agents searched the world for people with the same tattoos. They arrested four people in three years, but then there was no further progress."

"The Light Guide Association wanted to retaliate against the protesters, but they didn't expect to run into such a tough guy. They've shot themselves in the foot," Yu Zhen said with a hint of schadenfreude. But the thought that the task force wouldn't be able to identify the suspects made him less happy.

Wei Hongsi said, "Actually, we can skip the investigation first."

"No investigation?" Yu Zhen was taken aback.

Director Shi hesitated before asking, "Professor Wei, what do you mean?"

Wei Hongsi said, "While this criminal organization's methods of controlling people are certainly very sophisticated, in terms of harm, the 'psychological virus' that can cause 'mental pollution' is the most terrifying, and its danger level even far exceeds that of a terrorist attack in the general sense."
