In the early morning, in the conference room of the Internal Affairs Bureau, the director, Deputy Zhang, Zhou Duan, Zuo Luo, Xu Xuan, and the director of the Internal Affairs Bureau gathered together.

After listening to Xu Xuan's introduction, Deputy Zhang first asked, "Xu Xuan, where did this information come from?"

Xu Xuan replied: "Su Cheng told a friend of his, and he knew that I would go to this friend after his accident, and the friend would tell me. Don't ask who your friend is, I think he knows or will say that's all. ”

Although Xu Xuan's last sentence was very strange, it was strange enough now, and the director looked at Deputy Zhang: "Is there anything Xu Xuan said about this?"

Deputy Zhang said: "Yes, we have had two small meetings in private, and only a few deputy directors and directors of the Anti-Narcotics Department know. The Narcotics Division is a special department, and we have decided to directly appoint the director of the department. ”

The director said, "Why don't I know?" The subtext is that I am the director after all, and all the police are under my control.

Deputy Zhang replied: "To put it simply, I am worried about airborne. The leaders of the Anti-Narcotics Department are all killed from the front line, let's just say that several of our deputy directors, each of whom has a comrade-in-arms who has died in front of us, we will not accept the leadership of any outsider, and even if we do, it will take a long process, which is not a good thing for the Anti-Narcotics Department. We decided to reach an internal agreement first, and when the Commissioner submits his retirement application, we will submit a letter of recommendation accordingly, so as not to give much room for the bureau leaders to consider. ”

The director said angrily, "Do you know that this is a small team?"

Deputy Zhang replied: "We have a clear conscience, and the Internal Affairs Bureau will investigate it afterwards." But if we can't change the personnel appointments after the parachute chief. ”

The director of the Internal Affairs Bureau said, "Okay, I'll talk about this later...... Deputy Zhang, that is to say, when you took over the post of deputy director, the director of the anti-narcotics department had already had physical problems. ”

Deputy Zhang replied: "Yes, it would not have been very serious, but the work pressure is too great, and it is an old smoking gun, which makes the body unable to bear the load." It's not impossible to hold on for a few more years, but it's not good for everyone. After all, we are not without people in the Drug Enforcement Department. Objectively speaking, among several deputy directors, in terms of merit, ability, qualifications, etc., I am not ashamed to say that I am the first choice. And after being promoted to deputy director, I had some problems with the director, I myself didn't like formal suits, faced reporters, paid attention to grooming, etc. The only thing I didn't expect was that the director's body changed too quickly, and from what Xu Xuan said just now, I had some suspicions that someone was doing something. ”

The director looked at the director of the Bureau of Internal Affairs: "What do you think of the Forestry Bureau? Now it is the words of a friend of Su Cheng." ”

The director of the Bureau of Internal Affairs looked at Zhou Duan, and Zhou said: "Assuming that the Forest Bureau is really the supervisor of the hanged ghost, it will definitely not be active at the moment, and it will take time and energy for us to track her down." At the same time, it is likely to alert her. ”

The director of the Internal Affairs Bureau looked at Zuo Luo, who had been smoking and his tie was half open, Zuo Luo and the director of the Internal Affairs Bureau glanced at each other and said, "Su Cheng is probably right, we can temporarily control the Forestry Bureau, there will not be much loss, and feed back the news to Ouyang Changfeng and the Ma Bureau." If Su Cheng is right, when all the three major executives are controlled, Ma Ju and Ouyang Changfeng will inevitably react differently from before, strictly control their words, deeds and actions, and avoid information leakage, our chances of winning are still very good. But ......"

"But?"

Zuo Luo said: "Don't underestimate Su Cheng's shamelessness and IQ, I feel that this is a game." Think about it, Ouyang Changfeng, we have actual evidence. We have actual evidence. But what about the Forestry Bureau? There is no evidence, it all depends on Su Cheng's mouth. Su Cheng's mouth can't convince us. Su Cheng was imprisoned and learned about the Forestry Bureau through Officer Xu, and in this case, we would take control of the Forestry Bureau. After the three major executives of the Hanged Ghost are controlled, will the black hands inside the Hanged Ghost perish, or will they seize the fruits? Is Su Cheng still working hard for the boss? Deliberately arranged to borrow the hands of our police to complete the alternation of rights of the Hanged Ghost?"

Xu Xuan immediately said: "I am against it, I believe that Su Cheng will not use me to achieve his goals." ”

Zoro said: "Women who are in love are usually stupid and can't see clearly. ”

Xu Xuan said: "If I can't see clearly, I won't choose the identity of a policeman, but the identity of a girlfriend." ”

"Just because you chose to be a police officer, you can't be trusted to get information. ”

Deputy Zhang stopped: "Is the quarrel interesting? I want to say something to Xu Xuan here, Su Chengming told you on his face that he came to harm the gannets." To this day, you also know that the main purpose of his joining the water rebellion is to hang the ghost. So Xu Xuan, don't be too confident, Su Cheng must still have a secret that he can't see. ”

Seeing the coldness, the director looked at the director of the Internal Affairs Bureau: "What?" There is no evidence, and the director has no right to control the Forestry Bureau, so he can only rely on the privileges of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

The head of the Interior Affairs Bureau said: "You can only be under house arrest, and it cannot exceed seven days at most." ”

The director asked, "Do you have any different opinions?"

Seeing that everyone shook their heads or was silent, the director said, "Then please trouble the Internal Affairs Bureau to send someone to act with us overnight." ”

……

Su Cheng ushered in a lawyer, and the British Consulate sent someone to inquire about the case, and then met with Su Cheng to ask if he needed help to hire a lawyer. Su Cheng was dispensable, and the people in the consulate said that there was a small law firm that was willing to take on the lawsuit for free, and Su Cheng did not object. Two hours after the consulate staff left, Su Cheng's lawyer arrived at about 10 a.m.

There are two lawyers, one is a native of Canada with a green card, and a woman, in her thirties. One is a native of Derbyshire, England, a man in his fifties, who is a legal adviser and does not have the power of representation. First of all, the contract is signed, the lawyer is appointed to represent the lawyer, and then the two parties have a separate detailed discussion.

At the beginning of the one-on-one meeting, the male lawyer went about his routine business and picked up the document: "Mr. Su, as far as we know, ...... the situation"

Su Cheng interrupted: "I'm not in a hurry to go out now. ”

The male lawyer took off his myopic glasses and bit the corner of his glasses to look at Su Cheng: "Someone wants to talk to you." ”

Su Cheng said: "I originally planned to complete the contract quietly, take a small transaction with a sum of money, and find a lover to spend my life with." but you have betrayed me. ”

The male lawyer said: "The remuneration can be negotiated. ”

Su Cheng said: "Let's not talk about the remuneration first, I can tell you what will happen next." ”

The male lawyer said, "Please speak." ”

Su Cheng said: "There are two possibilities, the first one is that the Hanged Ghost Gang will completely collapse. The second possibility is that the gang of hanged ghosts borrowed corpses to resurrect their souls. I'm still working on the last piece of the puzzle, and I can't jump to conclusions yet. ”

The male lawyer remained silent and asked, "One last difficult question." ”

Su Cheng smiled: "Shouldn't you pay more attention to the two possibilities? If I'm not mistaken, you two probably don't like it." You don't want the Hanged to be wiped out, nor do you want the Hanged to come back. ”

The lawyer asked, "What do we want?"

Su Cheng said: "You want the Hanged Ghost to be half-dead, lacking command and leadership, so that your people inside the Hanged Ghost can operate effectively." It's embarrassing now, the black hand inside the hanged ghost wants to absorb both energy and cut off the connection, and this process takes a long time. At the same time, the hanged ghosts are more difficult to deal with than you think. ”

The male lawyer asked, "What about ...... How do we avoid things we don't want?"

Su Cheng said: "It could have been avoided, but you didn't keep your word and sent me to prison, so now it can't be avoided." I know I'm saying that you're skeptical, so I have to make it happen so I can get enough leverage. ”

The male lawyer replied: "Mr. Su, it was a misunderstanding that you went to the prison, and one of our operators accidentally leaked the video, and my boss hopes that we can solve this misunderstanding."

Su Cheng said: "Besides, maybe my speculation is wrong?"

The male lawyer said: "It can be seen that Mr. Su has been prepared. ”

Su Cheng said: "As the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable, as a small person like me, if you want to try to survive in this world, you can only pay more attention." It turns out I was right, I was sent here. If I am unprepared, I can only beg you to spare me now and grant you all the conditions. ”

The female lawyer spoke: "Mr. Su, you should know that this will not end well. ”

Su Cheng replied: "If I don't do this, it won't end well." ”

The male lawyer said: "Mr. Su, you must have a little misunderstanding, our ultimate goal is to hope to recruit Mr. Su to join, not to harm Mr. Su." The boss discussed that if Mr. Su was not willing to join completely, he could also give us some assistance under the name of semi-employment. Even if Mr. Su is unwilling, we hope that you can consult Mr. Su for your opinion when something happens. So both the boss and we have always had great respect for Mr. Su. The boss also wants to settle the matter peacefully and let everything go the way it should be. ”

Su Cheng nodded slowly: "I'm glad you can say that, I'll be honest with you." Once I was arrested, my plan had already begun to be implemented, and I myself was no longer in a position to stop it. As I believe you know or will know soon, the police have arrested the third of the three administrators of the Hanged Man. According to what I know about Ouyang Changfeng and Ma Ju, if the situation is completely out of control, it is likely that the jade will be burned in the future. But ......"

"But?"

Su Cheng said: "Coincidentally, in order to find out my news, the police imprisoned me and Ouyang Changfeng. This gives me the ability to stop the Hanged Man's jade from burning. I can stabilize it for seven days, on the condition that the truth about the murder of the big pineapple is not given to me, and it is directly given to Scotland Yard. Killers, employers, reasons, everything you know and can offer. ”

The male lawyer asked, "Who is the third administrative officer?"

"The director of the Southern District Forestry Bureau. ”

"She has been placed under secret house arrest. The male lawyer glanced at the female lawyer: "Mr. Su, our level is too low to make a decision, we will visit you again in the afternoon." ”

Su Cheng nodded: "Of course you can." ”

The male lawyer said, "We can return your innocence now." ”

Su Cheng smiled: "Now that I am innocent, the situation will be completely out of control, at least I can help you buy some time here." ”

……

The lawyer left the detention center and got into the car, the female lawyer drove, and the male lawyer contacted the consultant of Su Cheng's boss and explained the meeting.

The advisor said: "It seems that the Forestry Bureau is the third administrator, and it is not wrong. Can you read whether Su Cheng is good or hostile?"

The male lawyer replied: "He is still him, the person whose own interests are the most important." He can still buy it, but judging from the risk assessment, the price he offers will not be too low. It's strange to me that he's now offering the price of the big pineapple, what else does he need?"

The advisor said, "You can agree to some of his requests, and you can give him the scarecrow if you need it." ”

The male lawyer said: "But we have just subdued the scarecrow and completed the takeover of the gannets. ”

"There is no shortage of scarecrows in gannets, and there are many managers and killers who are better than him," the advisor said. This is an age of the mind, not an age of assassins. I'm glad that this conversation shows that Su Cheng is a smart person, he won't choose to destroy himself to destroy us, he knows where the bottom line is. Such a person is someone who can be trusted. I'm also glad that he offered the price of a big pineapple, which shows that he will be one of us in the future. ”

The male lawyer said, "But ......"

"No, but, it's not that I look down on Su Cheng, no matter how smart Su Cheng is, the resources that can be mobilized are extremely scarce. We know his bottom line, he knows our bottom line, there is no conflict. ”

The male lawyer said, "I see. ”

"It's up to you to deal with the affairs of City A, there are too many things in Europe, after all, it takes time to digest to eat the gannets completely. ”

"It just takes time to digest. ”

"Be careful yourselves. ”

"The Hanged Ghost is leaderless, don't worry about us. ”

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the seventh group was still working overtime, and Su Cheng talked to Ouyang Changfeng about a lot of things today. The seven groups have a basic understanding of the development process of the hanged ghost. When the evening dinner and news time was about to end, Su Cheng suddenly told Ouyang Changfeng that a woman in the Southern District Police Station might have been controlled by the police. This made Ouyang Changfeng's expression very weird, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Su Cheng. Su Cheng helped the police confirm that the Forestry Bureau was likely to be the third executive officer of the hanged ghost.

Fang Ling spoke: "What does Su Cheng want to do, I feel that he is so wronged, even if he goes to prison, he is still helping us solve the case." ”

Zoro hit the nail on the head: "Today he helps us, tomorrow he may help others." He deliberately brought up this matter before today's final conversation, obviously not planning to discuss it with Ouyang Changfeng, and in principle, he didn't help us. On the contrary, it can be seen that he has other plans. ”

The bald head was transferred to Group 7, eating fast food, and said, "Zoro, you are now used to analyzing others with a dark mentality. ”

Zuo Luo said: "This is Su Cheng, no matter how dark it is, right?"

At this time, Song Kai suddenly said: "The front page of the Post headline, Scotland Yard arrested a man of Italian nationality in London about fifty years old, and also arrested a number of suspects. According to a police spokesperson, there is evidence to suspect that the Italian, who is in his fifties, killed the famous detective Big Pineapple. According to the well-informed person, one of the arrested suspects has admitted that he was employed by the Italian and, in accordance with his plan, killed the large pineapple. The motive and details of the crime are unclear. Because the big pineapple has a noble title and has a high reputation among the people, the British royal family asked the police to do their best to solve the case. ”

The bald head said: "The big pineapple is very famous in Europe, and I am friends with many upper-class people. ”
