An hour later, Li Tianzhen appeared in the "ghost building" in the northwest suburbs of the county, where the building and the surrounding environment have not changed much, and it is still the kind of gloomy, desolate and terrifying scene, but it is a very safe place for him to live.

Li Tianzhen was lying on the dilapidated sofa looking at his watch in a daze, he had already sent a signal to agree to meet and waited for a response. It's just that I didn't expect the instructor to come to Fukuyama in person, and stay for so long, is it just because I made an appointment with him?

It doesn't seem to be so simple, but at this time, Li Tianji didn't bother to scruple more, the significance of this meeting was greater than the substance, he just wanted to fulfill a wish and determine one thing. Zhang Zhiqiang has disappeared, and Yuxing's current development has gradually entered the right track, but time has passed, Uncle Geng has gone immortal, and he has become more and more troublesome, but these do not affect the conditions agreed at the beginning.

As for the risks of meeting, Li Tianqi is not too worried, on the one hand, Uncle Geng's friendship with the instructor is extraordinary, and he himself has had a relationship with this mysterious middle-aged man; on the other hand, judging from Zhu Lei's description, the other party is not malicious, and he also helped easily, no matter what, he can't be wary of the other party.

"Hum" trembled slightly, the blue light on the screen of the watch was sheng, and the pointer arrow in the upper left corner suddenly turned yellow, Li Tianji hurriedly pressed the button to select the arrow, and a miniature map was presented in the center of the screen, and the yellow arrow jumped to a position in the middle of the map and flashed, followed by a row of small characters.

Li Tianzhen silently memorized the location and small print of the map, and then saw that it was still early, so he turned off his watch and fell asleep.

At night, Li Tianchou came to Jianguo Road in the center of the county, not far from here is the commercial street construction site developed by Fantai Group where he once stayed.

At the east corner of the intersection is an antique three-story building, which is a famous high-end leisure tea house in Fushan County, named "Deyue Building". Li Tianchou calmly entered the door, reported a room number to the guide lady, and followed the other party up the stairs.

In a private room deep on the second floor, the stocky instructor Mi Jia smiled at Li Tianchou, who had just entered the door, not caring at all about the other party's already very different appearance, and said, "Sit down." ”

Li Tianchou nodded slightly and sat across the tea table. For some reason, he was a little restrained in front of this unassuming instructor.

"Tasting the 'monkey kui' here is a national gift, and it is rare to see it in this season. The instructor got up as he spoke, and personally poured a cup for Li Tianchou with a delicate teapot.

"You're welcome, I'll do it myself. Li Tianchou naturally didn't know much about the tea ceremony, but the instructor's behavior made him a little cramped and uneasy.

"It's been more than half a year since we last met, right? ”

Li Tianchou's heart moved, the instructor's opening remarks seemed to have a profound meaning, could it be that the other party had heard of his every move during this period of time, or further, he knew everything about it?

"It's fine. Although it is not satisfactory, it is still moving forward little by little. Li Tianchou paid attention to the wording, looked up at the instructor and continued, "It's just that there is one thing that I didn't tell you in time, and I'm ashamed." ”

"Oh? ”

"Uncle Geng, Uncle Geng, he passed away half a year ago. ”

After saying this, the private room suddenly seemed very silent, and the two of them did not speak for a long time, but the instructor's expression did not fluctuate significantly, he picked up the teacup and rubbed it repeatedly on his hand, and finally put it on the table without taking a sip.

"Xiao Li, I have to tell you that Lao Geng is still alive. That's one of the purposes of my visit to you. The instructor's demeanor was unhurried, but every word in his words struck Li Tianchou's nerves, making him stunned.

"A little surprised, aren't you?" the instructor cupped his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don't get me wrong, I'm deliberately hiding from you, this is what Lao Geng meant." ”

"No, before Uncle Geng passed away, we all went back and stayed with him for the last night. Although the instructor spoke clearly, Li Tianchou still suspected that he had misheard.

"Trick, Lao Geng's so-called last night, are there two of his old friends who have always been around?

"Yes, that's right. Li Tianchou's mind suddenly recalled something, there was a middle-aged man surnamed Fan in the village at that time, and another was a little older, and he couldn't remember his name. The two were very enthusiastic, running before and after, and at that time, Xiao Song was too sad, and most of Li Tianchou's attention was on comforting Xiao Song, how could he think of Uncle Geng to do a trick.

"Lao Geng later found me, and I was asked to keep this matter a secret for him. ”

"Why is that?"

"Atonement. The instructor simply took off his eyes and said slowly: "To be exact, all the relevant criminal cases of your Yuxing Company when it was first in SZ City, including other related vicious cases that occurred in Fushan later, were planned and implemented by him alone." ”

"How is this possible?" Li Tianchou shouted loudly, almost jumping up in shock, he suddenly understood the obvious change in the attitude of the Fushan police before, why a series of cases, including Shui Tian Yise, were suddenly closed, so it was! But according to the case-handling procedures, it should be far from being so simple, but the instructor's tone was extremely positive.

"Yes, it's complicated. It is impossible to convict based on Lao Geng's confession and a small amount of physical evidence, so some cases are still unsolved, but most of them are finalized. You will slowly understand this process in the future, but Lao Geng's wish is completed. ”

Li Tianchou was stunned like a deflated ball all of a sudden, he didn't expect Uncle Geng to come like this, what is this? Sacrifice him to fulfill everyone?

"You don't have to think about it, Lao Geng is benevolent and righteous for you young people. And he did have a terminal illness, but he lived more than half a year longer than expected......"

"Where is he now?" Li Tianchou couldn't wait to interrupt the instructor.

"Treated in SZ City No. 6 Hospital, also known as City Hospital. When he was dying, he wanted to see you. ”

"What time?"

"I'll arrange it, you wait for the notice. The instructor sighed, "That's the first thing, and there's one more thing that concerns you. ”

"Myself?" Li Tianchou immediately smiled bitterly, it was really unexpected to come to see the instructor this time, so how should the other party view the kidnapping case he just experienced?

"You know the 'Ranger', I don't talk too much, and I've learned about what happened to you from relevant sources recently, so it's not easy for you. Hehe, it's very good to be in front of me in such a posture today. ”

What are you really thinking, what are you coming, Li Tianchou's head buzzed, and then he thought that the watch had actually had a record of signal reception as early as the afternoon when he left Fushan, but the ghost actually left the watch in the dormitory at that time, could it be that the instructor knew the news in advance? So the mysterious organization that kidnapped him was not a serious way?

"Your dangerous experience is still under investigation, and I can't give you any promise at the moment, but please believe that there will be an explanation. Seeing that Li Tianchou was silent, the instructor became serious, "In addition, on the surface, the 'Ranger' removed you, but in my cognition, on the contrary, you are still one of them." ”

"What do you mean?

"Yes, your name has been removed from the official list of participants in the training. The instructor nodded, as if searching for the right wording, before continuing, "Have you heard of the shadow members?"

"Shadow Member?" 'Ranger'?" Li Tianchou's eyes widened, each time he was more and more surprised.

"Yes, highly classified field teams are generally staffed with 'shadow members'. They have a higher level of secrecy, are not known to ordinary team members, do not participate in regular operations, and only in special circumstances or major operations, will they accept orders from higher levels to attend work independently. ”

"You mean...... I...... So, no, no, the 'Ranger' has already started training?" The news was fickle, and Li Tianchou felt that his brain was a little circulating.

"Hehe, too sudden?" the instructor smiled slightly, "Let me explain, as far as I know from the scope of my authority, you were one of the first to enter the 'Ranger' candidate list, and the reason was me and Hua Lao. Later, when you were removed from the list, there was a certain suddenness and inevitability, but in the end, you were identified as a 'shadow member.' 'I'm in charge of the one-line contact with you for the time being, and there will be others in the future.

"The Ranger is not a simple counter-terrorism field unit, and his responsibilities are more complex and severe, so you have to put your worries aside. The danger you just suffered has nothing to do with it, and don't worry about the safety of your family, we have already done emergency treatment, is there anything else you don't understand?"

Of course, the meaning is not difficult to understand, but Li Tianchou always feels incredible, as if he has spent spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day, he can't adapt. The only thing that can put him at ease is that the safety of his family seems to be guaranteed, and the instructor's promise is not a lie. He cleared his throat and asked, "So, why did you choose me?"

"Intuition and observation. The instructor's face was stunned, "Of course, there is also a vague expectation." ”

"Expectation?"

"It's an expectation. Referring to these, I have to talk about Zhang Zhiqiang. ”

"That's right, Zhang Zhiqiang......"

The instructor waved his hand and interrupted Li Tianchou, "This person has a lot of background, we didn't talk deeply last time." Twenty years ago, he was part of a secret field unit and was tasked with overseas missions. However, there was a mission that failed, and only one of the team members who were on duty returned alive, and this person accidentally committed suicide while being investigated, so the whole incident became confusing. ”
