The thirteenth floor of the South Building, where the Inquisition is located.

The name derives from the first half of the 13th century, Pope Innocent III in order to suppress the Albigensian heresy in southern France, once established the Church reconnaissance and trial institutions, which was the origin of the Inquisition, the main role of which was responsible for the investigation, trial and adjudication of courts considered heretical by the Catholic Church, and imprisoned and executed dissidents.

The Inquisition of the Psionic Society, designed to judge and adjudicate evil psionics.

Guo Longjin's second brother Kuang Boyu and third brother Kuang Yanqing both served here.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Kuang Longjin easily arrived at Kuang Boyu's private office, where he was the chief of the intelligence section, whose main job was to collect intelligence for the Inquisition, analyze and study it before disseminating it, plan actions against illegal activities based on the intelligence, and provide strategic and tactical intelligence to the Special Operations Bureau and other departments for law enforcement action.

Pushing open the door, Guo Boyu was sitting behind the bookcase and frowning.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Guo Boyu raised his head, thinking that it was an assistant, but found that it was Guo Longjin, immediately raised his eyebrows, and got up to greet him: "Big brother, why are you here?"

Guo Longjin followed him to the sofa and sat down, and then said, "You have had such a good time, have you forgotten that I am going to meet the exchange team of the Persian Empire today?"

Guo Boyu smiled awkwardly: "I've been a little busy lately, and I've been confused about time." After a pause, he said solemnly: "Big brother, are you here for that incident?"

Guo Longjin nodded: "Exactly, how did you investigate, did you find anything?"

The two of them were talking about it back a week ago, on a windless and rainy night, when he poured a cup of coffee as usual, walked to the computer in his nightgown, and was about to watch an old movie, only to find a new email in his private mailbox.

When I opened it, there was only a simple sentence inside: Recently, a terrorist from the Persian Empire has infiltrated the territory of Pingjiang.

Guo Boyu's hand holding the coffee cup shook and frowned, suspecting that someone was playing a prank. But not many people know about his private mailbox, and most of them are informants he trusts very much. I looked up at the sender's name, and it was garbled. He tapped his fingers on the keyboard and tried to track down the IP address, but after a while, he raised his two hands and failed.

Gu Boyu frowned, and his professional intuition told him that if this sentence was true, it was a very important piece of information.

Few people in Pingjiang are aware of the political changes abroad, and it just so happens that Boyu is one of them.

He knew that the Persian Empire was full of powers, the country was divided, and the so-called king was just an ornament on the surface, and his power as the head of state had long been deprived. Since the flame was extinguished, Isfahan, known as the "half of the world", the ancient capital of the Persian Empire, has been in the midst of war and religious disputes.

A terrorist from the Persian Empire came to Pingjiang?

Guo Boyu's heart palpitated, and he suddenly remembered that his eldest brother Guo Longjin had told him that in three weeks, there would be an exchange team from the Persian Empire visiting Pingjiang.

The Persian Empire, and the Persian Empire, Guo Boyu thought to himself, there must be a connection between the two.

The next day, Guo Boyu told Guo Longjin about it, and Guo Longjin also frowned after hearing it, and said, "This matter must be investigated." If something happens to the Persian Empire's exchange team in Huangming, you know, it will definitely lead to international disputes!"

Getting back to the point, he said that Guo Boyu heard Guo Longjin's question, and immediately turned around and took a document from the table and handed it to Guo Longjin, and at the same time said: "This is the information of all the foreign personnel who have come to Pingjiang in the past month, among which there are a total of forty-eight people who are officially registered as Persians and those who are suspected to be Persians from the point of view of their appearance. Among these people, 27 have long-term business dealings with many local enterprises in Pingjiang, and nine of them entered Pingjiang for tourism, most of them entered Pingjiang from the magic capital and transferred to the subway. Among the remaining twelve people, there are all written about the reason for entry, and the suspicion is vague. I have sent out all the people I can mobilize, and I am always keeping an eye on the movements of these forty-eight people. ”

Guo Longjin looked at the document at a glance, and said while reading: "In addition to the official entry, the informal entry, such as smuggling, have you investigated?"

"Of course. Guo Boyu threw over another document, "But you know, with my authority, it is not enough to influence the Demon Capital Headquarters, they are only willing to give me this list of smugglers who have been arrested, as for the list of suspected smugglers who have not been caught, they are not willing to give me." But—"

The conversation changed, "If this person is smuggled into the country from the Demon Capital, then if he wants to come to Pingjiang, he must take the subway or highway." I don't think he has the strength to cross the national highway on foot. That kind of strongman, if the Demon Capital Headquarters didn't notice it and let him enter, then this pot would be on them, and it had nothing to do with us. ”

After complaining, Guo Boyu continued: "Therefore, I have transferred out the list of passengers of all the subways in Pingjiang in the past three months, not only the one leading to the magic capital, such as Jiankang, Liangxi, and Hailing. In addition, in the name of the psyker census, I also asked various logistics companies and security companies for the list of newcomers and escort orders they have recruited in recent days. ”

Guo Longjin quickly glanced at it twice, and then put the two documents aside.

"I want to know the results!"

Guo Boyu shook his head helplessly: "The result is that there are too many suspicious candidates, in addition to the forty-eight mentioned before, there are more than a hundred." I don't have anyone under my command anymore, so I'm all sent out to keep an eye on them. You see. Pointing to the hill of documents piled up on the bookcase, "I'm all reading it alone!"

Besides, Long Jin also knew that he was in a hurry.

It stands to reason that before finding out whether the content of the anonymous email was true or false, Guo Boyu should not have let the general staff invest in this matter, they are all civilian personnel, but now they are in the field.

But it can't be helped. Personnel from the Reconnaissance and Special Operations Divisions will only be deployed after receiving clear intelligence instructions. Like now, more than 150 suspicious candidates are simply looking for a needle in a haystack, and if the scope is narrowed down to less than 20, maybe someone from the Investigation Bureau can help him with this.

Guo Boyu smiled: "Big brother, if you can convince the third child, maybe the progress can be faster." ”

The third elder, Guo Yanqing, is the section chief of the Special Operations Section, a sixth-level psionic person, who is iron-faced and selfless, and does not show affection, even Guo Longjin does not dare to open this mouth to him, and in the entire Guo family, only Guo Qiqi's personality is most similar to this third uncle.

Guo Longjin shook his head: "I can't convince him." ”

"Then you'll have to wait for me to finish it. Guo Boyu patted the pile of documents.

Guo Longjin asked, "Do you need me to send someone to help you?"

"I think. Guo Boyu smiled bitterly, "But if you Mayor Pingjiang sent someone to work in the Psionic Association, it is inevitable that there will be rumors when it spreads." Besides, these are secret documents, and it's a big taboo for me to show you. Forget it, I'll do it alone. I guess it's going to take two or three days to finish reading. ”

Guo Longjin sighed, stood up from the sofa, and said in a deep voice: "Then I can only trouble you, I still have some things, so I will leave first." With that, he pushed the door straight out.

After Guo Longjin left, Guo Boyu returned to the bookcase and sat down.

He flipped through the information for a while, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the photo frame erected next to the computer, which showed a photo of the family of three. For no reason, Guo Boyu had palpitations for a while.

In autumn, the night in Pingjiang comes earlier than in summer.

At five o'clock in the evening, it was already completely dark, and except for some large shopping malls, there were few people walking on the street.

Pingjiang is not a magic capital, it is a city that never sleeps, and a pearl tower alone is enough to deter all the surrounding people from daring to attack, not to mention the millions of city guards, which expand from the inner ring to the outer ring, which can be described as extremely safe. Even if it's out of the outer ring, there are very few youkai who haunt at night.

Pingjiang is different, at night, it is like entering another world.

After three or four streets, I could only see three or two people, all of whom were members of the City Guard.

All the communities are surrounded by high walls, the power grid is dense, and more than a dozen security guards are patrolling with flashlights and cold air in their mouths.

All you can see in the streets is orange taxis scurrying back and forth.

These taxis have all been reinforced and modified, and ordinary monsters can't break the window pane or open the roof.

In addition, the engines are all 1.8T turbocharged engines, and if you are chased by a monster, you can easily get rid of it, crash into the air, or even get caught under the wheels.

However, 1.8T means high fuel consumption, even if taxi companies have fuel subsidies, there are many drivers who deliberately replace the engine with low fuel consumption in order to make more money. This is a violation of the ban of taxi companies, but there are still many people who knowingly commit it. There are many taxi drivers who die tragically every year because of this incident.

According to the latest statistical report released in 2019, there are more than 700 taxis operating in Pingjiang, which is very small compared to the total population of more than 8 million in Pingjiang.

However, there are not many people still walking around outside after nightfall in Pingjiang, and the more than 700 taxis are even a bit too much.

In the taxi industry, few psychic people will choose, mainly because of the average income.

Because of this, those taxi drivers choose to replace their engines with low fuel consumption.

They didn't know that it was dangerous, even if the taxi had been reinforced and modified, but if it was besieged by a group of monsters, once they couldn't escape, they were sitting and waiting to die. However, people are lucky, and they feel that they may not be able to meet a monster, and even if they do, they can escape. The source of this fluke mentality is the lure of money.

But it wasn't until the moment when the sharp claws cut their throats that they realized that no matter how much money they made, if they didn't live to use it, everything would be useless.

Yu Jun is a taxi driver, and he is often proud of the fact that he has been driving a safe car for seven years, not only has he not had a single car accident, but he has not even scratched at all.

He had encountered three or four monsters, but he was not in trouble, and with his superb driving skills, he saved the frightened passengers in the back seat, and later these passengers gave him a pennant, and the company also awarded him a bonus for this matter.

Yu Jun felt that his life was very comfortable.

Three days later, it is his wife's due date, although the doctor said that only about 5% of women will give birth on the due date, but Yu Jun believes that three days later he will personally hold the little baby who gave him all his love, as soon as he thinks of this, the corners of his mouth are grinning to the root of his ears.

Now this order is Yu Jun's last order today.

The passenger is a taciturn boy, this is not the first day Yu Jun sent him, it has been sent for three weeks in a row, at this time of the day, he will go to the door of Jiuguang Department Store to pick him up, and send him to the door of a manor on the shore of Jinji Lake, Yu Jun heard that this manor is the mayor's mansion, so that is to say, this boy is the mayor's child?

I'm good!

Yu Jun was speechless, but he didn't think about hugging this thigh, but occasionally after putting down the other party, he would stop in front of the iron gate of the manor for a long time, looking at the verdant lawn inside and the clear lake light flashing sporadically, a little envious, I don't know when I can buy such a big house, it is estimated that I will have to live in the next life.

Looking at the young man's indifferent and calm face in the rearview mirror, Yu Jun thought to himself, he is worthy of being a child of the mayor's family, and this temperament alone is outstanding.

Hey, it's outstanding, isn't it?

Yu Jun wiped his dry lower lip with his thumb, if the child he was about to give birth to could have half of this boy in the future, he estimated that he would wake up laughing when he dreamed.

It was when Yu Jun was thinking wildly.

Suddenly, in the back seat, the young man, that is, the situation Qiqi looked out the window and said, "Stop!"

Outside the window, a tall and graceful woman was staggering, as if she was drunk.
