Lu Shanmin sat on the steps, and the two teams of people on the basketball court sweated like rain. Don't look at the fact that these prisoners have no long skills, they play basketball with a good appearance, and they are much more professional than the villagers of Mazui Village. It's just that these people are more tough, and playing basketball looks a bit like fighting.

There was a circle of people sitting around the basketball court, cheering and scolding one after another, which was very lively.

There are also some people who exercise with horizontal bars at both ends of the court, and the days in the detention center are monotonous and boring, and everyone is particularly excited when they are released. Some of the others walked on the runway in twos and threes, and some sat on the steps in a daze like him.

Only one middle-aged man looked a little out of place, writing and drawing on the sand at the edge of the court.

As a whistle blew, Liao Yong got up and slowly walked towards Lu Shanmin, came to the steps and sat down next to him, looking a little depressed.

"Match-fixing, it's definitely match-fixing, Zhang Bald's bastard is playing match-fixing, wait until you go out and see how Lao Tzu cleans him up."

"How many have you lost"?

Liao Yong's two thick fingers crossed, "Ten cigarettes, ten cigarettes."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Everyone here is familiar"?

"Most of them are familiar, and there are only so many people on the road, who usually look up and don't look down."

Lu Shanmin pointed to the edge of the court, "Does that person know?"

Liao Yong looked up, "I don't know, that person is a newcomer at first glance."

"Same as me"?

Liao Yong coughed, and hurriedly smiled: "Big brother is a fierce man, how can it be the same."

Lu Shanmin said lightly: "How did you check the matter?"

Liao Yong showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, "Big brother, it's not that I don't work hard, it's that I really can't find out."

Lu Shanmin frowned, "If you think about it carefully, is there a channel that you don't know."

"It is absolutely impossible, with my experience and connections in and out of dozens of times, there can be no channels that I don't know."

Lu Shanmin's brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

Liao Yong hurriedly said, "Big brother, give me two more days."

"No need, don't call me big brother in the future."

Liao Yong was stunned for a moment and pleaded: "Big brother, please give me another chance."

Lu Shanmin's brows furrowed slightly, "If you want to follow me, you can change your bastard aura."

Liao Yong breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relaxed smile, "I thought it was big, oh don't want me, it scared me a lot."

"Call it Brother Shanmin, they all call it that."

Lu Shanmin's gaze stayed on the 'newcomer' who was out of place, only to see him stand up and wipe the newly painted things with his feet, turn around and look over, although he couldn't see his expression clearly from a distance, he could feel him smiling in this direction.

"Brother Shanmin is a good name and more cordial."

Lu Shanmin hummed, "The second half has begun, and this time I will try to win back what I lost."

Liao Yong smiled heartily, got up and patted his buttocks, and trotted towards the basketball court.

The man took a step slowly, walked slowly towards Lu Shanmin, walked to the steps, and sat down in Liao Yong's position just now.

"Whether you play basketball or football, you should have such blood."

Lu Shanmin looked at the game that had begun in the second half, "I didn't expect these people to play basketball well."

The middle-aged man said lightly: "The people who enter the detention center are all people who do not pay attention to the rules, most of them do not like to study when they were students, their limbs are developed and their minds are simple, sports activities are their biggest hobby, and it is not surprising that basketball has reached this level."

Lu Shanmin half-jokingly: "Based on your analysis, if the national football team lets these people play, maybe they can still enter the World Cup."

The middle-aged man smiled faintly

"Who knows?

Lu Shanmin looked at the man with a smile, three-dimensional facial features, bronzed skin, and his figure was not too strong, but it was still significantly stronger than ordinary people, and he smiled and showed a row of white teeth, which looked a little unnatural.

"It's not that I'm too surprised that they play basketball so well, it's really surprising that someone like you can say that."

The man sighed, "How do you know I'm a rule-talker?"

Lu Shanmin turned his head to look at the fierce game, one of them was hit by an elbow and lost the ball, and was swearing and yelling at the other party.

"Your steps are very even, the distance of each step is as if you have been measured by a ruler, you have either been a soldier for many years, or you are a public person."

The look of appreciation in the middle-aged man's eyes flashed away, and he smiled, "It's rare to have such good insight at your age."

"When I was a kid hunting in the mountains, my eyes almost became a dinner for snakes and beasts. ”

"Oh, a habit that has been cultivated since childhood".

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "After coming out of the mountain, I found that compared to the poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains, the people outside are full of fierce tigers. I was so distracted that I didn't even know how I died."

The middle-aged man nodded noncommittally, "Now I understand, the habits of childhood and the tempering of the day after tomorrow make you more delicate and cautious than your peers."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "So, let's introduce myself."

The man lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about how to answer, and said slowly after a while: "There are only blind people in this world, and there is no conspiracy that is absolutely untraceable. Although the criminal investigation methods of the year could not solve the case, it did not mean that no one doubted it. But they are like shadows, sometimes even if they can feel it, when they reach out and grab it, they can't catch anything."

Speaking and asking, "Have you ever felt this feeling of powerlessness?"

Lu Shanmin smiled, "I'm feeling, whether it's you or them, they have given me this feeling."

The middle-aged man hummed noncommittally, "You have so many doubts in your heart that it is difficult to trust us."

"For a chess piece, it is difficult to have a good impression of the person who plays chess, and the feeling of not being able to control one's own destiny is not very good."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, "I understand your feelings, if you have any doubts, you can ask now."

Lu Shanmin turned his head to look at the middle-aged man's eyes, his eyes were calm and gentle, and he couldn't see any emotion.

"Whatever I ask, you'll answer"?

The middle-aged man snorted, "But I don't guarantee that you will be satisfied with my answer."

Lu Shanmin moved his eyes to the court, Liao Yongzheng got up and cheered excitedly, it should be the side he supported who scored the lead.

"What is your purpose"?

"Find out about them".

"And then"?

The middle-aged man's brows furrowed slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. "I don't know".

I don't know what the man said, as he said before, it really made Lu Shanmin very dissatisfied.

"You are an official state investigative organization"?

The middle-aged man nodded, then shook his head slowly.

Lu Shanmin smiled helplessly, "Your answer makes me speechless."

The middle-aged man said lightly: "I just said that the case back then was suspected by someone, and it was not any formal institution."

"Then this person is a person from a state agency"?

The man was silent for a moment, as if he was considering how to answer the question, "Sort of."

"Sort of"?

The man glanced at the dissatisfaction in Lu Shanmin's eyes, and then said, "Yes."

Because of this, we can only conduct investigations in secret, and we cannot rely more on the power of the state."

"You didn't react to the top"?

The man shook his head, "You think too simply, there is no evidence, there is no basis enough to convince the upper echelons, why should the upper echelons believe it." Taxpayers' money is not something that can be spent on a specious pretext. ”

Saying that, he glanced at Lu Shanmin, "Just like an employee in your company tells you that there will be a good return on making a certain investment, will you put resources into it because of his words, you have to read his research report, feasibility report, and see some solid evidence, and we can't come up with anything except some intermittent and incoherent guesses."

He sighed, "Without the support of the top, the resources we can mobilize are very limited, and we can only act secretly, not only can we not let the shadows know, but we can't let the government agencies know, and once the actions without authorization are known to the top, our actions will be immediately stranded."

"Also, you should find that our behavior is not completely disciplined, and sometimes there is a bit of a charlatan. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said after a while: "No way, we are really poor, you should know very well how much it costs to raise a large number of supernumerary investigators."

Lu Shanmin looked at the middle-aged man cautiously, and subconsciously moved his butt to the side.

"Don't beat me up, I have a big family and I'm not rich."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily, "You misunderstood, I didn't come to fight local tyrants when I found you."

Said apologetically: "I mainly want to explain to you that our actions may have hurt you, but it is really helpless."

Lu Shanmin naturally didn't fully believe what the man said.

The middle-aged man continued: "The horror of shadows is not only that they can't see or touch, they are rich. Money can make ghosts grind, you know, so we fell behind in the first confrontation in Pingyang County, and a very important member of our organization was almost dug up."

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Shanmin and said lightly: "So we don't dare to take any action lightly now, otherwise once it is exposed, there is no need for the shadow to do it, and the above will directly disband us, and the leader will also be implicated." ”

Lu Shanmin sneered, "After saying that he still hit me with his mind for a long time, he wants to continue to let my chess piece be at your mercy."

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, "The word 'at the mercy' is inaccurate, I prefer sincere cooperation."

"There is one more problem".

The man shook his head directly, "The person who reported you is not us."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Shanmin with sincere eyes, "I hope you can believe what I said today as much as possible."

Seeing that Lu Shanmin's eyes were still vigilant, the man continued: "The name of our organization is 'Killing Shadow', now you should believe it, it doesn't matter, there is time here, you can slowly ponder every word I said today."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and stopped talking.

Lu Shanmin frowned, "What else do you have to say?"

"Oh, oh, we're really poor, if it's convenient for you、、、、."

"Inconvenient".
