Chapter 40 Baidu is a stinker

Searching for "pinhole camera" on Baidu, the first eight search results all contain the words "promotion", which means that these eight web pages have been paid to Baidu.

Search for "pinhole camera" again, and the first nine results are promotional connections.

"This is called bidding ranking. Whoever gives more money will rank first. These websites have paid Baidu for the fee." The fat man explained.

In these two searches, in addition to the search results of the main page, there are eight or nine promotional links on the ad slot on the right side of the page.

"These are also money-consuming. Only after paying money to Baidu can they appear here." said the little fat man.

"I'll just go!" Feilong screamed strangely, staring at his eyes and asked, "Isn't pinhole camera illegal? Why do Baidu dare to promote it?"

The fat man shook his head and said, "Baidu is just a stinky hooligan. As long as he can make money, he dares to do anything."

As he said that, the little fat man clicked all the promotion links and said, "The dozen clicks I just clicked can bring Baidu a few dozen dollars in income. This is even more profitable than drug trafficking, so Baidu is willing to try the law with his own hands."

Fei Long didn't understand: "Where did these dozens of dollars come from?"

"I understand." Wang Zhuo interrupted and said, "The owners of these web pages pay Baidu. Whoever has more money will rank who is at the forefront. Then every time someone clicks its link, Baidu will charge it, right?"

"That's it." The little fat man nodded and said, "So the things sold on these websites that have paid promotion fees are very expensive, often ten times the purchase price, and they even sell fake goods to cheat money. A large part of the money they earn is made by Baidu, who is the biggest vampire."

Feilong also figured out the joint: "No wonder I bought 800 yuan weight loss pills on Baidu and took them without any effect. It seems to be a fake."

"There is no real product for Baidu's weight loss pills." In order to get close, the little fat man patiently explained: "According to statistics, there is only one consultation every ten clicks, and only one person pays for the drug when the tenth consultation is available, that is, one can only make a transaction once. The website selling medicine has paid 400 or 5600 promotion fees for these 100 clicks. Where can I get the cost of buying real products?"

Feilong nodded in approval and muttered: "Fuck Baidu."

Wang Zhuo looked at the website found through Baidu's promotion link, and as the little fat man said, there were all kinds of things sold here, such as pinhole cameras, form recorders, wireless transceivers, magnetic stripe readers, decoders, etc., which was like walking into Dr. Q's laboratory in the 007 movie.

"Hey, here!" Fei Long suddenly pointed to a picture on the screen: "Isn't this the pinhole camera he uses? It's exactly the same!"

When Wang Zhuo saw that, he was indeed correct. The original price was marked at the bottom of the picture with an original price of 800, a 20% discount on membership, 64% off, phone ordering, home delivery, and cash on delivery. It’s really a home-time service!

"Is this company big? Can it still deliver nationwide?"

The little fat man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The express delivery company has the service to collect payment on behalf of others."

Wang Zhuo didn't believe it: "The express company dares to deliver such things?"

"Even if you send a bag of shit pills, they can deliver it to you at the designated location."

Wang Zhuo was speechless. It turned out that the express delivery company was not much awesome than Baidu!

At this time, Feilong said with a little discouragement: "What format is this video? I can't play it out on my phone."

"You can watch with a computer." The little fat man said very cooperatively, took out a flash card reader and handed it to him.

"Okay, I believe you bought these things from Baidu." Wang Zhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, asking, "Now talk about your method of committing the crime."

The little fat man asked cowardly: "Will you hand me over to the police?"

"Let's talk about the situation." Wang Zhuo did not answer positively. He had no favoritism for the police since he was a child, not only because the police and the judge had framed his father, but also because of the inflection of Hei and White, Li Jinjun, the criminal police squadron leader who wanted to arrest him to the police station.

The little fat man had no choice but to tell the crime in detail.

"That is to say, when I entered the ATM room, the card reading you installed copied my bank card information. When I entered the password on the ATM machine, your pinhole camera captured my password again, and then you copied a new card with my bank card information. As long as I don't change the password, you can withdraw the money from my card at any time in the future?" Wang Zhuo stared at the little fat man's eyes: "It's that simple?"

Feilong also stopped the movements in his hand and stared at the fat man. Only then did he understand the whole story. It turned out that this little fat man with a bad appearance was a master, and he did something more fierce than secretly taking pictures of the women's bathroom!

"It's easy to say, but it's not that simple..." The fat man scratched his head awkwardly and said: "I made the pinhole camera and card reader shell by hand, and it took me two days to make it. The card reader was modified, otherwise it would not work. There is also the card writing equipment, which is not enough for the market to sell. It needs to be purchased from special channels and needs to be modified after getting it."

"Special channel? Are you talking about Baidu?" Fei Long sneered.

The little fat man nodded awkwardly.

Feilong opened the Baidu homepage and entered the three words "Encourage/Friends" and found that there was no promotion link this time. However, the first one was a company website selling such things, which was also a nationwide delivery of cash on delivery, and also equipped with a 400 service hotline.

"There are 400 phone calls left. Is this a regular company?" Wang Zhuo felt a little strange.

The little fat man whispered: "You can also get a 400-plus phone number for 600 yuan. It is also a scam, just like a hooligan, just like Baidu."

"You are even more hooligan than a hooligan!" Fei Long gave him a look in anger and asked Wang Zhuo: "Leave this kid to the police. This matter is big enough. I think the bank's equipment must be updated."

"I'm really not a habitual offender, brother!" The fat man was so scared that his legs were weak and he sat on the ground. "It's the first time I'm lying and being struck by lightning!"

"The genius believes you." Fei Long threw the card reader onto the bed. Since there was no video of the women's bathroom secretly filming, he was too lazy to watch it.

"Brother, I really didn't lie to you. I can prove it!" The little fat man's tears were almost over: "If you don't hand me over to the police, you can do whatever you want. I stole all the money to you. I will reform myself in the future and I don't want to go to jail."

"We dare not ask for your money." Feilong was unmoved: "Look at you being pretty handsome, wash your anus clean and wait for you to be raped by your inmate!"

"How do you prove it?" Wang Zhuo was somewhat touched when he remembered his father who was still in jail.

The little fat man hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I, I know you, your name is Wang Zhuo."

Feilong sneered and reminded: "Don't listen to him getting close to him. I called your name when I knocked him down just now."

"No, I knew your name before." The little fat man hurriedly said: "The short video of you fighting with Shamatt was recorded by me."

Wang Zhuo and Fei Long were immediately surprised, and they didn't expect to hear such an unexpected thing.

"I am the security guard in Liyuan Community, in charge of the monitoring room. I happened to be on duty on the day you fight." The little fat man said in a breath of beans like a bamboo tube: "There were three people in the monitoring room at that time. When we saw the fight was very exciting, we recorded it and stored it on our phone. Later, we showed it to our friends and it slowly spread it."

"So you posted the video online." Fei Long suddenly realized.

Wang Zhuo interrupted him with his hand and asked quickly: "Where did that gun go?"

"I was picked up by a security guard named Da Yang. Later, he took it to the antique street to sell it to the collector, and sold it for 5,000 yuan." The little fat man said with a bitter face: "At that time, in the surveillance room, there was also a Xiao Huang, and Da Yang later gave us 500 yuan each, saying that the person who met was worth it."

"The police are looking for you?" Wang Zhuo asked.

"We didn't care when we first went online, but the video soon became popular. Many people were concerned about the whereabouts of the gun, and I knew it was broken. I checked the Internet and privately harbored guns and were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than ten years, so I hid."

Feilong was immediately happy when he heard this: "You are stupid, you are not sold by the gun, why are you running away?"

The little fat man smiled bitterly: "Do you think the police will listen to my explanation?"

"Uh..." Fei Long thought for a while, smiled and shook his head: "I'll definitely catch it and talk about it, don't bother you or not."

"You two have a very prejudice against the police." Wang Zhuo pointed at them with his finger.

In fact, among the three, he was the one who had the deepest prejudice against the police, otherwise he would have called 110 long ago.

"When I hid, my salary was not paid last month, and I only had 2,000 yuan left. I didn't dare to go home or find a job. I had no choice but to buy these things and wanted to steal some money to spend. Today is the second time I started, and I was caught by you."

"What about the first time? How did you get it?" Fei Long asked.

The little fat man smiled bitterly again: "The first time was made in the middle of the night yesterday. The battery of the pinhole camera can only be powered for forty minutes, and no one withdraws money yet, and the power goes out."

As he said that, he took out a wrinkled piece of paper from his pants pocket and handed it to Wang Zhuo: "Look, this is the express delivery order I received from the pinhole camera the day before yesterday. In addition, I made a disguised shell. I was really a first offense and I haven't succeeded yet."

Wang Zhuo took the document and took a closer look. The delivery location was Shenzhen Huaqiangbei Electronics Market, and the signing time was indeed the day before yesterday.

Feilong asked, "Then how do you prove that you have never done it before?"

The little fat man sighed with a sad face: "If I could do this before, why would I be a security guard..."

Wang Zhuo and Feilong nodded at the same time. The little fat man was right. This kind of crime is highly concealed, has a high success rate, and has a huge profit. Copying a few cards is enough for him to spend a long time. It is impossible for anyone who knows this trick to be a security guard.

"What's your name?" Wang Zhuo asked.

"The surname is Cheng, Cheng Cheng, Cheng Tiankun." The little fat man said: "Others call me Cheng Zi."
