Chapter 343: A Hymn to Loyalty
"There's a bomb!"
Chen Xin hurriedly dragged Yang Jing out of a distance, although the bomb was not a big threat to him with the "Little Butterfly" armor, but it was fatal to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing was also stunned for a moment: "What? There is a bomb in the car?!"
Chen Xin didn't answer, and at this moment, countless thoughts swirled in his mind.
Who planted these bombs? Are they going to kill Yang Jing or kill themselves? Is the text message on Ling Wei's phone real before? Could Yang Jing be a trap when she calls herself?
The most important thing is that if Yang Jing is so blatantly installed in China to plot against Yang Jing, are there any domestic forces involved?
Chen Xin couldn't make an accurate judgment for a while, and said in his heart: "Can you defuse the bomb?"
"It's not a big problem. ”
"Then defuse the bomb first!"
Chen Xin squatted down and threw a silver-white ball along the ground, and the ball rolled under the car and disappeared from the sight of the two.
"What are you doing?" asked Yang Jing curiously.
Chen Xin didn't answer, looked at the time on his watch, and said to Yang Jing: "Yang Jing, what time did you park the car here." ”
"Car?...... Oh, it shouldn't be an hour, and I just came here not long ago. ”
Yang Jing hesitated for a while before giving an answer, she was still a little confused, even though she had experienced a terrorist attack abroad half a year ago, she never thought that she would encounter such a thrilling scene in China, if what Chen Xin said was true. So who planted the bombs, and why did they kill themselves?
Also, who is Chen Xin, and how did he know that there was a bomb in the car?
Tonight's experience made Yang Jing faintly feel that she had been involved in an intricate conspiracy.
"Old Bean, the bomb has been defused, and there should be no danger nearby. By the way, the computing center has screened out the video of the old cat and Yang Jing together, and the last time they appeared was near Wuzhong Square, about ten o'clock in the evening, and then Yang Jing drove away alone. Then the old cat entered a Starbucks and never came out. ”
The sound of the steel hammer sounded in Chen Xin's mind at the right time.
Chen Xin frowned: "Didn't come out again?"
The old cat's disguise technique is extremely clever. If he is taken out of cameras, there is no way for ordinary people to find him.
However, this is not a difficult task for steel hammers.
"Since this Starbucks is open at eleven o'clock, I investigated the information of everyone who came in and out of this Starbucks, and made a series of comparisons such as ultimatums and behavior patterns. can be determined. The manager of the Starbucks café, Henry Cooper, is seriously suspicious. ”
The hammer projects Henry Cooper's image and profile onto Chen Xin's glasses.
Henry Cooper. A native of California, USA, he joined the Starbucks Group after graduating from high school, and worked step by step from a waiter to a store manager. In January 2012, he entered China and was parachuted directly to Jiangcheng by Starbucks China headquarters to serve as the deputy general manager of Starbucks Jiangcheng Branch and the manager of Wuzhong Plaza Store.
Chen Xin was a little speechless, although the size difference between the old cat and the Cooper store manager is huge, but I have to admit that this Mr. Cooper is one of the incarnations of the old cat in China.
Could it be that Starbucks is really the American version of Shaxian snacks and has something to do with the CIA?
Chen Xin grinned, a little wanting to laugh.
In his spare time, he had come across a rumor on the Internet that the Starbucks store at the CIA headquarters was affectionately known as Starbucks No. 1 by the agents.
The people who come here for coffee are often economists, engineers, geographers, etc., who are either gathering intelligence or planning secret operations. Even many of the job transfers of agents within the C.I.A. were made here. They meet here every day, and the coffee cups they use often have a name written on them to avoid confusion, but these people only write a pseudonym.
And the nine baristas in the store have undergone full background checks, leave the building every day after work under the supervision of agents, and can't brag to others about their location, at most they say they work in a federal building.
As for why it is the American version of Shaxian snacks, it involves another famous Internet joke.
After bin Laden was killed, a popular post appeared on the Tianya forum called "A Hymn to Loyalty."
It describes Shaxian snacks as the underground base of the Chinese intelligence department, and the uncles who operate Shaxian snacks are the foot pickers who come and go to eat, and the diners who come and go to eat are all on a secret mission, and they are loyal guards of the country.
After that, this article was widely circulated on the Internet, so famous brands such as Lanzhou Ramen and Da Niang Dumplings were involved in various espionage cases and accepted spoofs from netizens.
Chen Xin has always regarded these jokes as Internet jokes, but Lao Mao, as an employee of the CIA, actually appeared in Starbucks, which has to make him doubt the credibility of these jokes.
The CIA can cooperate with Starbucks, but can't China's intelligence services cooperate with Shaxian snacks? Or the war bureau can co-opt Shaxian snacks and Lanzhou ramen.
"Old beans, old beans ......"
Just when Chen Xin's brain was opened, the steel hammer woke him up in time.
"Oh, by the way, Steelhammer, can you find out where Cooper is now?"
"He had already left China an hour ago on a Cathay Pacific flight from Jiangcheng to Tokyo, and according to the information I got from the airline, he will transfer to a United Airlines flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning capital time," he said. ”
"Los Angeles?"
Chen Xin's eyes froze.
He thought about it for a moment, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Peng Guochen's private number.
Now that the situation is sensitive, the only people he can trust in China are Qiao Ting and Peng Guochen, who are military figures.
Peng Guochen's identity is kept secret, and there are very few people who know his private phone number, especially those who call him late at night, and they usually have important matters.
The phone was quickly answered, and Peng Guochen's slightly tired voice sounded in the microphone: "Hey, Chen Xin?"
Chen Xin said coldly: "It's me!"
Peng Guochen seemed to feel that something was wrong with Chen Xin's tone, and frowned: "Mr. Chen, is there anything wrong with calling so late?"
Chen Xindao: "Ling Wei is missing, and someone has installed a car bomb in her friend's car!"
"What?"
Peng Guochen was taken aback.
He knew Ling Wei's weight, at the Paris Air Show, Ling Wei was involved by Qiao Ting and was kidnapped by terrorists hired by the United States, which provoked the war and thwarted the Americans' conspiracy.
Later, after learning the identity of Chen Xinzhan's outburst, the intelligence department also paid attention to Ling Wei.
And now that Ling Wei has disappeared in China, and her friend's car has been planted with a bomb, this matter has to arouse Peng Guochen's great attention.
What worries him even more is that the high-level attitude towards the battle in the past few days**, if there are domestic forces involved in Ling Wei's disappearance, it will be a big deal.
"Mr. Chen, where are you now?"
Chen Xindao: "Jiangcheng Splendid Garden Community Underground Parking Lot!"
"Okay, then you wait here first, and I'll send someone over immediately. ”
Chen Xindao: "By the way, don't forget to send someone to Wang Xiaoyue." ”
Peng Guochen hurriedly nodded and agreed, Ling Wei had an accident like this, if Chen Xin's official girlfriend Wang Xiaoyue had another accident, wouldn't he have overturned the sky.
In fact, not only Wang Xiaoyue, Peng Guochen and even Su Xiaoxiao also sent a lot of people over.
Ten minutes later, a large number of special police officers and national security agents in civilian clothes appeared at the scene of Splendid Garden, and Chen Xin and Peng Guochen hung up the phone.
Before hanging up the phone, Chen Xin asked Peng Guochen a very in-depth question: "Old Peng, is Shaxian Snack a person from the General Staff System or the National Security System?"
"What?!" (to be continued......)
