Chapter 1186: Star Wish: Adding Fuel to the Flames
As the situation became increasingly tense, some insiders could no longer hold back and, observing the direction of public opinion, suddenly turned against the government.
A staff member who had participated in the project's logistics support came forward because he was dissatisfied with the cover-up by the top management. He provided the media with a series of key physical evidence, including a temporary pass that Gu Minghao had used in the institute. The permission record on the card showed that he could enter multiple core R&D areas;
There are still some residual traces of deleted data. After technical recovery, operation logs related to Gu Minghao can be vaguely seen.
In this media war, Yan Wanqing and Qi Ruixiang, who are also media professionals, were not idle either.
Yan Wanqing is known for her delicate emotional insight and sharp writing style. She went deep into the families of the victims, listened to their grief and demands, and turned the stories of broken families into tear-jerking text reports.
The article details an old mother who stays in her son's empty room every day, muttering to herself in front of his portrait, hoping that the truth will come out soon, just to give her son an explanation.
These reports have aroused deep sympathy from all walks of life for the families of the victims, and public pressure has further escalated.
Qi Ruixiang actively runs between various relevant departments with his extensive network of contacts and excellent social skills.
He frequently communicated with the police and aviation regulatory agencies to obtain first-hand information on the progress of the investigation in a timely manner, and skillfully incorporated this information into his reports to answer questions and resolve doubts for the public.
For example, when reporting on the police investigation into the flow of funds to scientific research institutions, he used easy-to-understand charts to show the flow paths of suspicious funds, allowing ordinary people to see at a glance and understand the tricks.
However, the fact that things progressed so quickly was not due to public opinion alone.
The police worked silently behind the scenes. They formed an elite task force to analyze massive amounts of data day and night.
From the airline's operating records and aircraft maintenance logs to the scientific research institutions' R&D files and personnel communication records, nothing is missed.
Through technical means, the entire process of the malicious tampering of the aircraft's flight control system before the air crash was restored, and the IP address of the remote terminal controlled by Gu Minghao was locked, and the evidence was conclusive.
At the same time, government regulators also acted quickly to carry out a comprehensive overhaul of airlines.
It is required to review its internal security management mechanism and thoroughly investigate loopholes in its cooperation with scientific research institutions.
Under heavy pressure, the airline was forced to cooperate with the investigation and voluntarily provided some previously concealed information, such as the minutes of private meetings with Gu Minghao, which involved suggestive discussions on the application of new technologies to specific flights.
Although Yan Wanqing and Qi Ruixiang maintained the fairness and objectivity of the media, they also secretly helped Gu Yunqian because of their old friendship.
In the report, Yan Wanqing skillfully spoke up for Gu Yunqian and Su Xingya, clarifying their innocence in the plane crash and emphasizing that the two were also victims, suffering from public misunderstanding and physical and mental torture.
Qi Ruixiang used his network of connections to connect Gu Yunqian, allowing him to communicate with the police and experts in a timely manner to discuss response strategies and ensure that the truth was not distorted.
When the truth gradually surfaced, the senior executives of the research institute faced severe punishment by law.
First, several senior executives were detained by the police in accordance with the law on suspicion of leaking state secrets and colluding with outsiders in violation of regulations.
The procuratorate quickly intervened and brought charges against them, including a series of serious crimes such as commercial espionage and dereliction of duty.
Based on solid evidence, the court ruled that these executives will face long prison terms, and all their illegal gains will be confiscated. The scientific research institutions will be fined heavily and ordered to rectify and reorganize to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again.
It seems that this storm has come to an end, but in fact, everything is far from over.
After all, the fact that Gu Minghao was able to sneak into a crucial scientific research institute so easily and single-handedly planned the plane crash that claimed countless lives was like a blockbuster bomb, blasting a deep gulf of fear in the hearts of the people.
Ordinary people began to worry and discussed privately: Who would dare to take a plane easily in the future?
God knows if one day I will inexplicably become a victim of someone else's conspiracy. Ten thousand meters in the sky, my life is completely out of my control.
Although these are currently just complaints from the public and heated discussions in the public opinion field, in this flood of information, there are always some people with extremely sensitive noses. They are unwilling to let the truth be buried so hastily, and decide to follow the clues to dig deeper.
The check gave them a real shock - Gu Minghao had actually already become a foreign citizen.
This news instantly made the already tense situation even more acute and complicated.
A foreigner who openly enters and exits confidential scientific research sites in the country and wantonly controls life and death. In the eyes of ordinary people, Gu Minghao is a "walking 500,000" and a major hidden danger that threatens national security and people's lives!
In an instant, public opinion boiled over again, with voices of condemnation and questioning coming like a surging tide, one wave after another, overwhelming.
Now, Gu Minghao, who had been pretending to rest in the ward of Ankang Hospital, could no longer sit still. His face turned pale, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were full of panic and fear.
The police worked non-stop, knowing that the matter was of great importance. They immediately mobilized elite police forces to set up a special investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation into his true identity, complex background, and the shameful chain of interests behind him.
While the outside world was in an uproar over this news, Gu Mingcheng was nestling at home leisurely, looking as if he was sitting on the Diaoyutai.
On the surface, he appeared calm, drinking tea and reading all day, but in fact, he had already made plans in his mind. He was waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike, just like a cheetah lurking in the dark, waiting for its prey to reveal a flaw.
Until the call from Yang Bin broke the peace. Yang Bin's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little tired but also a little excited: "It's just as you said, this guy has bigger problems."
Gu Mingcheng didn't say anything and his expression was indifferent. As long as this matter continued to move forward, his idea in his mind would be almost certain to come true!
In the interrogation room with dim lighting, Yang Bin's eyes were already red from staying up late. Several days of digging deep for clues related to Gu Minghao had made him exhausted but tense.
The table is piled with documents and the whiteboard on the wall is densely covered with timelines, character relationships and suspicious points. Every detail is like a piece of a puzzle, and he must find the key piece to present the truth in full.
At first, it was Gu Minghao's entry and exit records that caught Yang Bin's attention.
He discovered that the timing of Gu Minghao's application for foreign citizenship was very strange.
Just before he began to frequently visit scientific research institutions, the procedures for him to give up his Chinese nationality were accelerated, as if there was an invisible hand behind him pushing him, eager to free him from the constraints of his domestic identity.
Under normal circumstances, a change of nationality requires a long process of multiple reviews, but Gu Minghao got the green light all the way. There must be something hidden behind this...
