Missing Child Case: I Put My Neighborhood on Trial
On the third day of my son, Zeke Murphy's disappearance, I've hacked into the smart AI system belonging to the entire apartment block.
All 202 families in this block are locked up in their respective homes thanks to my ministrations.
After that, I leave my first text message in the residents' group chat. "My son, Zeke Murphy, is in this very building. From now on, I will expose a family's secret every hour. If I can't find Zeke, all of you will go to hell with me."
A CEO of a company with tens of millions of dollars' worth of assets is quick to lash out at me angrily in the group chat.
"Have you gone nuts? Your son's disappearance has nothing to do with us! I order you to stop what you're doing immediately!"
I type out my second text and attach a screenshot of an encrypted financial statement.
"@1502Mr.Cooper, you have 59 minutes left. Here's a friendly reminder to check your overseas bank account. I'd like to see if the tax department is interested in its contents."
I know that Zeke is currently staring at a resident on this very block right now.
