Xiang Donglai returned to his seat and sat down, and then said, "It is very likely to be the Southern Star Kingdom." Just now, the security personnel called, and the people in the security department had analyzed the bugging device and found that there were Akmo rays in the bugging device, and the most common country that used Akmo was the Southern Star Country in Southeast Asia. ”

"Nanxing Kingdom?" In surprise, Liu Chen re-sorted out the characters related to Nanxing Kingdom, and was able to get a bugging device with Akmo rays in Nanxing Kingdom, indicating that this person has a clear understanding of the situation in Nanxing Kingdom, and his identity may be related to spies or similar.

In the character images in Liu Chen's mind, Liu Chen found a person who matched all this, the old man!

Liu Chen had heard from his master and Uncle Yan that the old man, as a former member of the Dragon and Tiger Special Combat Team, had a mutiny during his mission in the Southern Star Country, and then held a special position in the rebel army of the Southern Star Country, which may be similar to the position of spy planning, so it is not surprising that the old man was able to get a new type of bugging device in the South Star Country.

Xiang Donglai leaned on the sofa, nodded and said: "Yes, this matter can be big or small, maybe it's just an accident, or it may be a huge conspiracy, so I will report it and continue to investigate everything related to this bugging device, you yourself have to be more careful, I'm afraid that they will also secretly investigate you at the same time." ”

Liu Chen agreed with Xiang Donglai's concern, but he was not worried that he would suffer any accidents, but said confidently: "That's something to be expected, this time I escaped with your guarantee, but if this matter gets bigger, I must bear it, they can continue to investigate me secretly, if they can find out anything." ”

"Well, anyway, you should pay more attention to this matter, as for the matter of you coming to me this time, who launched the Internet public opinion riot, I will find out. ”

"Thank you, Minister Xiang. ”

Liu Chen visited Xiang Donglai this time, just for this one thing, he didn't want to trouble too much and didn't want to take up too much time, so he found an excuse to leave, and another important reason was that he received a message from Qin Si.

"Minister Xiang, thank you for taking the time to accept my visit, tonight has taken up too much of your time, next time I have the opportunity, I will ask you again. After speaking, Liu Chen got up and once again expressed his cherishment and gratitude to Xiang Donglai for this visit.

"Okay, next time you ask Xiao Ran to make an appointment in advance, I can entertain you well, hehe, this time it's a little shabby, hehe. Xiang Donglai also stood up and said modestly.

Liu Chen hurriedly smiled and said: "Minister Xiang, where are you talking about this, I always thought you were a high-ranking minister, but when I saw it today, I felt very approachable." ”

Xiang Donglai pointed at Liu Chen and looked at Zhao Mengran, and said with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Ran, this friend of yours is really good at talking." ”

Zhao Mengran complained disappreciatively: "He's called a sycophant." ”

Liu Chen defended: "What's the matter, I'm just telling the truth." ”

"You didn't know how to say that before. ”

"We've only met a few times before. ”

"A few times is enough. ”

"You ......"

Xiang Donglai saw that the two of them flirted like a couple, which was very cute, but unfortunately Liu Chen already had a fiancée, but he could see that his niece still had a good impression of Liu Chen.

"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel. ”

Xiang Donglai "mediated" for the two in the middle, and Liu Chen no longer quarreled with Zhao Mengran.

"Minister Xiang, then let's go first. ”

"I'll send you. ”

Xiang Donglai personally sent the two of them to the gate of the provincial party committee compound, waved goodbye to each other, Liu Chen and Zhao Mengran got into the car, pulled down the window, Zhao Mengran poked his head out and said to Xiang Dong: "Uncle, I will come to see you next time." ”

"Okay, remember to call me ahead of time and bring your boyfriend along. Xiang Donglai deliberately called Liu Chen Zhao Mengran's boyfriend in front of the guards, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

After leaving the provincial party committee compound, Liu Chen changed the speed at which he came, and drove slowly towards the city, Zhao Mengran turned his head to look at Liu Chen, and asked: "Do you have anything to gain from going to the provincial party committee compound this time?"

Liu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, didn't your uncle already promise to help me investigate the people behind it." ”

Zhao Mengran didn't have a trace of excitement, "I feel that you are involved in greater trouble." ”

Liu Chen turned his head to look at Zhao Mengran, paused for a moment and asked, "Do you mean that bugging?"

Zhao Mengran nodded: "Yes." ”

Liu Chen immediately showed a relaxed posture and said confidently: "I can probably guess who put the bugging device on me, but I haven't figured out what means and methods he used yet. ”

Zhao Mengran asked suspiciously, "Really, who is he?"

"Confidentiality. ”

"You're keeping it a secret from me?"

Seeing that Zhao Mengran wanted to dwell on this topic, Liu Chen immediately changed the topic: "Hehe, don't talk about this, let me ask you a question, has your uncle's family experienced any sad things?"

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Mengran asked with a wink.

"When I first went to his house, he said that he would forget a lot of things when he was busy with work, and he was using his work to make himself forget some things, so I think those things should be more sad and sad. Liu Chen always observes some small movements very carefully, because in his concept, the more detailed things are, the more they can show the real side, and they will not be artificially disguised.

Zhao Mengran took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Well, didn't you notice, my uncle and I only mentioned my aunt from beginning to end." ”

Liu Chen seemed to have a premonition of something, but continued to ask, "Didn't mention their child, what's wrong with him?"

"Their child, that is, my cousin, committed suicide by jumping off the building a year ago......" Speaking of his cousin's matter, Zhao Mengran's face suddenly darkened, his nose and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and the atmosphere of the car was shrouded in sadness.

Liu Chen can understand the pain caused by this incident to their entire family, but he has an indescribable feeling about this matter, generally speaking, Xiang Donglai's son should live a life without food and clothing, why did he suddenly commit suicide?

"Are you sure it's a suicide?" Liu Chen suddenly asked.

Zhao Mengran raised his head and looked at Liu Chen: "What do you mean?"

Liu Chen raised a question that everyone would have at that time: "He has no reason to commit suicide." ”

Zhao Mengran shook his head and said: "We thought so at the time, but he left a suicide note, which said that he had depression. ”

Liu Chen was surprised: "Depression?"

"Well, but we didn't find out before, and if we had found it earlier and treated him, this might not have happened. Zhao Mengran's emotions were a little touched, and he let out a long sigh, sighing out too much helplessness and regret.

"It's a pity...... Liu Chen nodded slightly, but he still has reservations about this suicide incident in his heart, but this is related to Minister Xiang's family affairs, and he can't interfere or ask more, I hope it's really just because of depression.

It was already more than 22 o'clock in the evening when he returned to the city, and Liu Chen drove back to the teahouse where he met with Zhao Mengran for tea during the day, and Zhao Mengran's car had been parked there.

Zhao Mengran didn't live in the city, so the two of them separated, and Liu Chen returned to the city alone and returned to the Yuejun Chinese restaurant where Qin Si was.

When he came to the parking lot, Liu Chen saw that Qin Si's car was still there, so he walked in quickly and sent a message to Qin Si.

At this time, the restaurant had already entered the supper time, and there were not many guests, Liu Chen came to the private room, but he didn't find Qin Si inside, and he never received a reply message, so he went downstairs and asked the front desk waiter.

"May I ask, are you Mr. Qin here?" asked Liu Chen at the front desk where he was making a list.

The front desk looked up and saw that it was Liu Chen, who had come with Qin Si during the day, and replied, "Mr. Qin, she was drunk before, and our manager took her upstairs to the room to rest." ”

"In which room?"

"I don't know, I'll help you ask our manager. As he spoke, the front desk attendant picked up the landline and dialed the manager's phone, hung up the phone after asking a few words, and said to Liu Chen: "Our manager said that Mr. Qin did not go to the room to rest and stayed in the private room. ”

Liu Chen was surprised: "I've been staying in the private room, but I didn't see her when I went up just now." ”

The front desk clerk also felt incredible, "Impossible, I haven't seen her come down." "The stairs are not far from the front desk, so if someone comes down, she can see it at a glance at the front desk.

Liu Chen had an ominous premonition, but after thinking about it, when it was almost dinner time, Qin Si also called to say that he had prepared a dinner, and he also received a message from Qin Si when he was at Minister Xiang's house, nothing could happen during this time, he muttered and picked up his mobile phone to call Qin Si, just as he picked up the mobile phone with anticipation and put it next to his ear, a polite voice came from inside: "Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off......"

Liu Chen was depressed, what should I do if I can't find anyone so late, if Qin Si hasn't left, then he must still be in the restaurant, so he won't be able to find it, thinking of what Qin Si said on the phone before, Liu Chen made a judgment based on the little information he has so far, and asked, "Where can you cook here?"

"We're in a restaurant, so you can cook in the kitchen. The front desk attendant looked at Liu Chen inexplicably and replied.

"Yes, the kitchen. Liu Chen turned around and ran to the kitchen of the restaurant, and when he came to the kitchen, the chef inside was busy with the evening supper, and the whole kitchen was steaming.

Liu Chen asked the chef closest to him, "May I ask, have you Mr. Qin ever been here?"

The chef shook his head and said, "Mr. Qin, no, the manager came here before and said that he wanted us to prepare a porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork." ”
