Chapter 25 chapter 2

GEN seems to be drinking beer, so I started drinking through the Internet.It's late at night, and when I was planning to end the day, GEN suddenly threw a question. <GEN> By the way, can you tell me the name of the missing person? This request is too overwhelming! Even though I've only been a detective for three days, it's impossible for me to casually disclose the contents of my entrustment when someone asks me about it—I still have the minimum professional ethics. Maybe he was a little drunk, and his fingers on the keyboard began to lose control. <Hakama> Are you drunk?

〈GEN〉Because Sapporo beer is really delicious. <Hakama> Isn't that great?Also, what are you asking this for? <GEN>Uh...how should I put it? <GEN> may be a unique habit of Internet users... <GEN>As long as there is a name, I can't help but want to search for it online. <GEN> Maybe she has her own website. I will immediately open another window and enter the keyword "Sakura Kiriko" to start searching.It's a pity that it may be an uncommon surname plus an uncommon first name, so I couldn't even search for one.After confirming that I really got nothing, I returned to the chat room angrily.

<Hakama> The missing person is either a system engineer or a programmer, in short, he is someone in that field! How could <White Hakama> publish his real name on the Internet so easily. 〈GEN〉Mr. Hakama... <White Hakama> How? <GEN> You are searching now, right? It was discovered!I took a sip of the beer poured into the glass. <White Hakama> Whatever you can imagine!Alex. <GEN> Are you drunk? <GEN> Forget it, anyway, I already had a hunch that you wouldn't tell me. <GEN> It would be nice to have her personal e-mail address, I would like to try to write to her.

I got even more drunk. By the way, since there is no record in the resume that Sakura Tekji gave me, so I didn't think of going there.But today I got Kiriko Sakura's e-mail address. <White Hakama> Wait for me. Is it in your wallet?No, it seems to be stuffed in the breast pocket of the shirt.I was walking around like a spinning top alone in a room with only six tatami mats, looking for that piece of paper all over the room, but I couldn't find it anywhere, just as I started to wonder if it was in the office I found it when I didn't bring it back.It turned out that I neatly put it in the business card case together with Kanzaki's business card.

Sacramento's E-mail address is <[email protected]>. . <White Hakama> found it.And it is also a personal dedicated E-mail address. <GEN>Huh?Really?Then do a quick search. Doing it now!I start and end my search with a general search site.Nothing at all. <White Hakama> I didn't expect her to protect her personal information so well that she couldn't find anything. <GEN> Is it really not that simple?Could you at least tell me which account it is from? <White Hakama>... If it's just an account, it shouldn't matter... Maybe...

<White copy> is from cocktram. 〈GEN〉Oh, if it is a cocktram, the e-mail account and the website account should be the same. It turns out there is this trick!I couldn't help but patted my thigh.First use the search engine to find the home page of the cocktram portal site, and then try to link to <www.cocktram.ne.jp/10k-Sacramento/> from <www.cocktram.ne.jp>.Unfortunately, the words server error appeared on the screen.The error message is "403 Forbidden". I couldn't help but let my breath slip. <White Hakama> appeared, 403. <GEN>403?Isn't it 404?

The 404 HTTP status code means "The page you are looking for does not exist".Once this message appears, it means that there is nothing at that web address.On the other hand, 403 means "The page you searched for is forbidden."Although it is not shown, it is true that it exists on the Internet. That said, Kiriko Sakura does have a website of her own. I exchanged messages with GEN one after another, and started searching <www.cocktram.ne.jp/10k-Sacramento/duplicate/index.html>.After a while, I found the entrance to the website. <www.cocktram.ne.jp/10k-Sacramento/duplicate/index.html>.Click to see.

How about <GEN>? <White Hakama> has closed the site. <White Hakama> Ah!But the diary is still there. Tongzi's website is called "duplicate", and on the homepage there is only one line saying "duplicate will be closed from now on, thank you for your long-term love and care".Black and white, it looks a bit gloomy.There is also a small link at the bottom of the page to "Past Diary". "I'm so lucky..." While muttering to myself, I clicked in to see.There are records from April 2001 to July 2004.Maybe now I will know what happened to Kiriko Sakura. With a little expectation, I opened the diary of "early July 2004".

But what appeared on the screen was only one line of words, and it was eerie white characters on a black background. "This page has been removed" Go back to the previous page and look at other dates, early June, late May... No matter which date you click on, there is only "this page has been removed". I couldn't help but spit.This Kiriko Sakura not only resigned and moved, but also disappeared from the Internet. 〈GEN〉Mr. Hakama? <GEN>Hello——Mr. Hakama? <GEN> You look too cunning by yourself!Show me too! <White Hakama> Ah, sorry.But this can't be done, because the pages have been deleted.

<GEN>404? <White Hakama> No, there is only a line of "this page has been removed". <GEN>? ? ?Why is it so strange?If you want to remove it, can't you just delete the entire file? <GEN>Why didn't she do that? This is a more basic question.If you want to remove it, just delete the file, or even delete the entire website a little faster.If so, why would she leave a profile and go to the trouble of writing a "this page has been removed" message? <White Hakama> I wonder if there is any secret code hidden?Just press Ctrl+A. 〈GEN〉Is this a gauntlet against me who plays Macintosh?

I pretended not to hear GEN's protest, and searched through Tongzi's diary one by one.Maybe there are some words or links hidden in the seemingly ordinary picture. ...It's a pity that the effort is still in vain.After checking the records for half a year, I finally gave up. <White Hakama> No matter pressing Ctrl+A or TAB, there is no response. 〈GEN〉That's why it's a provocation to Macintosh players!Would you like to see the original file? <GEN> Maybe she wrote it in the commentary. <White Hakama> I’ve seen that too, but it’s not there.Probably all of them are copied and pasted! I think all the diaries on Tongzi's website 'duplicate' are made by copying and pasting the source code that only says 'this page has been removed'!Just like the same, no matter which date the directory is clicked on, the result is the same. <White Hakama> This is really unreasonable.Even if it is just copied and pasted, it would be a waste of time to repeat it dozens of times! <White Hakama> If you delete it, it will be done once and for all! I just finished typing this line, and GEN sent me an unexpected message right away. <GEN> No, if that is the case, there is another reason.That is, it cannot be deleted. <White Hakama> What? What does <白袴> cannot be deleted mean? <GEN> Mr. Hakama, this world is very real! Reality?Is this guy trying to charge me for consulting?I shook my head filled with beer.Reality?cash? ...? !Haha, this is too boring! <White Hakama> That's right!There is also the issue of page inventory archiving. 〈GEN〉As expected of Mr. Hakama, he responded very quickly. In the Internet world, there are some search engine websites, as long as a certain keyword is entered, all the web pages containing that keyword can be listed.Among them, some search engines have the function of temporarily storing web pages. For example, let's say I put up a website and write "I was the one who broke Azusa's precious Lamborghini model" on it.The search engines would stash my page on their servers, and if someone searched for "Lamborghini" or "I broke it," they would find my site. Later, I felt that this was not a good idea, so I deleted the entire file.So I can no longer see the original line of words on my website.However, if this search engine has the function of temporarily storing webpages, it will save the webpages before I changed them intact, so you can still see the "broken Xiaozi's most precious Lamborghini model" People are me" line. What should I do to avoid this from happening? One way to do this is to overwrite the original file by uploading a file that says something like "This page has been removed."Then even if it is searched by a search engine one day, it will only leave the words "this page has been removed", and the original description related to Lamborghini will not be seen. That's probably what Kiriko Sakura did!She carefully erased all the traces of herself once appearing on the Internet. Sure enough, I used a search engine to find her web location, and tried to open the page bank archive of the diary archives.It's a pity that all of this is within Tongzi's calculations. Although not all of them, almost all of those diary files are left with the words "This web page has been removed". <GEN> came up with a problem, the missing person not only quit his job, changed his address, but also wiped all traces of himself on the Internet, <GEN> But on the other hand, she shows up at the grocery store to buy dolls, 〈GEN〉Drinking coffee in a cafe, <GEN>Why? I think I probably know why, and that's why neither Kanzaki nor Sakura Asako knew about Kiriko's disappearance.Tongzi is indeed in trouble, but the person who is in trouble may not be called Sakura Tongzi, it should be another pseudonym or nickname! In other words, Tongzi was attacked in the virtual reality online world. <White Hakama> Is it a cyber attack? <GEN> I think so too. 〈GEN〉If you don't even dare to keep the page library archives, it means that it may not be just a simple network attack, 〈GEN〉It's a cyberstalker or something! If this is the case, then there is a big problem.Tongzi has used the strategy of "this page has been removed" to delete the page library archives left by herself in the search engine.Another vexing issue is the name of the site "duplicate". The English word "duplicate" refers to the meaning of copying. Although it is not a very common word, it is often used when it comes to computers.If you use this word to search, you may jump out of tens of thousands of irrelevant websites!It is not easy to find out what happened to Kiriko Sakura's website "duplicate". To get to the bottom of it, it is not within the scope of my business to investigate what happened to Kiriko Sakura.My job is to find Kiriko and ask her to contact Sakura Katieji.I have been reminding myself of this from the time I took this commission to the present. However, now that I know that Tongzi has indeed suffered some kind of attack, I can't help but start to have a thought - if I figure out the whole thing, maybe I can guess what Tongzi will do next.From another perspective, I even think that if I don't figure out the whole thing, I might not be able to find Tongzi.When I walked around Babao a few times like today, I asked people, "Do you know where Tongzi went?" I wanted to get an answer of "Ah, she is in such and such a place!", and I was afraid from the beginning. think. I tapped the keyboard absently. <Hakama> It would be great if I could capture past login history. GEN's reply is coming soon. <GEN> I can help you!It just so happens that tomorrow is Sunday. <White Hakama> Huh?But aren't you very busy? 〈GEN〉 is just grabbing a login history of a website, nothing serious. 〈GEN〉The reward is to treat me to a meal during the next vacation. What an unexpected bumper harvest. GEN's computer knowledge and network knowledge are much better than mine. <White Hakama> Thank you!It's so much easier with your help. <GEN> Just think of yourself as a fox that got on a pirate ship by mistake. <Hakama> Are you saying this on purpose to keep me from falling asleep? <GEN> Then can you tell me the URL? Since GEN wants to help me find Kiriko Sakura, there is nothing to hide from him.However, for the sake of caution, I still confirm that the chat room has been set in such a state that people outside cannot see the content inside, and then type the URL of "duplicate" and send it out. As soon as that line of URL appeared on the screen of the chat room, GEN responded with a message. <GEN> That's fine, then I'll flash first. <GEN> Long Live Sapporo Beer! Then a message that GEN has left the chat room appears on the screen.This chat room is hardly anyone in except me and GEN, but I still log out honestly. Come again can only wait.It was past twelve o'clock.It's been a long time since I stared at the screen for so long, so my eyes feel a little dry.There was still a little beer left in the bottle, but it was cold after so long, so I drank the remaining beer directly at the bottle and went to bed. --------------------- Notes:
