"How can it be!"

In the dim virtual conference hall, an angry shout came from the blue pillar of light, and I saw Mu Xunzhi's face in the pillar of light pale, glaring angrily at the purple pillar of light in front of him.

"A kid who doesn't have the slightest ability can get out of the surveillance and disappear here? Minister Zimo, do you want to explain this matter?"

With Mu Xunzhi's questioning, the figures in the remaining pillars of light in the conference hall all focused their eyes on the weak man in the purple pillar of light.

"Ahem...... Minister Mu, don't be excited, Zhou Wentao has only been missing for a few hours, how can he be considered "missing"?"

Zimo coughed lightly a few times, and looked up at Mu Xunzhi in the blue pillar of light, but there was no nervousness in his words at all.

"Zhou Wentao belongs to A-level secret-related personnel, even if he is only missing for a few hours, it is not a trivial matter, which is why Minister Mu temporarily convened the council. This time, it was the dignified woman in the cyan pillar of light who spoke.

"Hehe, that's interesting. The daily contact with Zhou Wentao is an internal matter of our [Dazai Department], I don't know where Minister Mu learned that Zhou Wentao is missing?" Zimo raised his eyes and looked at Mu Xunzhi's expression, and said with a smile.

"Hmph, ask me? Do you have to go back and ask your subordinates first, why do you want to show your identity and use privileges in a crowded place like the airport, and stage such a 'chase battle'?"

Mu Xunzhi sneered, stretched out his hand to the center of the conference hall, and a virtual screen suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and what was on the screen was the picture of Zhou Wentao being chased by Xiao Tang and the others.

"If it weren't for our [Military Aircraft Department] to quickly intercept the intelligence and handle it in a timely manner, once someone took a picture and uploaded it to social media, would it cause a lot of trouble, do you know? Zhou Wentao's behavior of leaving the surveillance without reporting it has obviously constituted a 'defection', and this is also a dereliction of duty on the part of the [Dazai Department]!"

"But I heard my subordinates say that they were just doing 'actual combat drills' with Zhou Wentao at the beginning. I admit that perhaps in practice, there were some inappropriate things that caused Zhou Wentao to lose his temper with our people, resulting in the so-called 'disappearance', but this does not mean that Zhou Wentao was a 'defector'?"

Zimo stretched out his fingers and stroked the tips of his hair, and said unhurriedly.

"Strong words!" Mu Xunzhi said angrily. "What else do you say about 'actual combat drills'? What about him now?"

"Well, little kid, he'll be back soon after a little temper. Besides, judging from the current information, he has not left the city, so where can he escape......? cough cough cough ......"

It seemed that he had said too many words in succession, and Zimo began to clutch his chest again, coughing sickly.

"Minister Zimo, it seems that you have been unwell recently, if your [Dazai Department] is not qualified to supervise Zhou Wentao, it is better for us [Military Aircraft Department] to take the position, how about it?" Mu Xunzhi said coldly, deliberately glancing towards the figure of the Red Pillar of Light Inland Realm.

"Ahem...... Don't bother with the minister. Speaking of which, Minister Mu, since you are so capable, you should have caught him when you were at the airport. Zimo took out a handkerchief and wiped her lips lightly, and sneered at each other.

"Hmph, Minister Zimo, what are you talking about? We didn't know that Zhou Wentao had gone to the airport, so how could he be on the scene?" Mu Xunzhi glared at each other and said. "Could it be that you suspect that we have eavesdropped on your internal intelligence?"

"Hehe, I didn't say that, Minister Mu, you are too careful. Zimo smiled. However, I also watched the surveillance video of the airport, and it seems that after Zhou Wentao hid in the bathroom, the monitoring equipment mysteriously failed, and there were no clues left for Zhou Wentao to leave the airport, which is too coincidental. ”

"Minister Zimo, what do you want to say?" Mu Xunzhi stared at Zimo in the purple pillar of light, frowning.

"What I want to say is that if the failure of the monitoring equipment is not a coincidence, then it means that someone deliberately did not let us know the whereabouts of Zhou Wentao. Zimo raised his eyes and said slowly. "Zhou Wentao himself naturally does not have the ability to paralyze the airport monitoring line, so I guess that maybe a 'third person' kidnapped Zhou Wentao. ”

"You mean...... Someone kidnapped him?"

"It's a possibility. Of course, the situation is unclear now, and I am just guessing. Zimo said. "It's just that if Zhou Wentao was really kidnapped, then we may have to check the people who have approached him at the scene one by one, but it's just ...... I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower. ”

"It is my [Military Aircraft Department] to investigate the personnel, but if I find out that Zhou Wentao is not 'kidnapped', but 'defected'...... When the time comes, Minister Zimo should not be in a hurry to protect his shortcoming. Mu Xunzhi snorted coldly, and then cast his gaze on the red pillar of light that had been silent for a long time in front of him.

"Chief Lu, this matter is related to the internal personnel of the department, I hope that the [Dazai Department] can be appropriately avoided, and at the same time, because of the manpower problem, I request that some of the manpower of the headquarters be transferred to cooperate. ”

"Do you mean that you will be in charge of the search?" Lu Jingyi's voice remained calm and calm as usual.

"That's right, it's my job within the [Military Aircraft Department]. I don't think Minister Zimo will have any objections. Mu Xunzhi said, glancing in the direction of Zimo, and the latter just covered his chest and coughed lightly, but didn't say anything.

"When Zhou Wentao was assigned to the [Dazai Ministry], but what you meant, Leader Lu, I hope this is not a wrong decision. Mu Xunzhi looked at Lu Jingyi again, and his words seemed to be aggressive.

"Hehe, whether it's a wrong decision or not will be known when someone is found. Lu Jingyi smiled and said. "This matter is related to the safety of important personnel, I agree with you to transfer part of the headquarters manpower, but there is one thing, I need to remind you. ”

Lu Jingyi looked at Mu Xunzhi calmly, as if there was something to say.

"Your authority is just to 'find people', and I hope you don't make your own decisions and do something 'superfluous'. ”

"Hmph, that's nature. ”

Mu Xunzhi smiled disdainfully, then stretched out his hand, and the blue pillar of light immediately disappeared, and when Mu Xunzhi opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was no longer the virtual conference hall of the Council, but his own [Military Aircraft Department] minister's office.

"Knock Knock ......"

A respectful knock sounded at the door of the office, Mu Xunzhi frowned, glanced at the tall man with amber pupils at the door, and gestured impatiently.

"Come in. ”

"Yes. The man nodded, took two steps silently, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he let out the sound of his footsteps.

"Bang!"

The angry sound of pounding on the table hit the man with Mu Xunzhi's annoyed gaze, and the latter stood in front of Mu Xunzhi's desk expressionlessly, as if he had been prepared for this anger for a long time.

"Say, what the hell is going on, and even you can miss? What a disappointment to me!"

"I'm sorry, but it was my dereliction of duty. Faced with Mu Xunzhi's reprimand, the man did not make any excuses, and simply admitted it. And Mu Xunzhi saw the other party's honest appearance, and couldn't continue to get angry for a while, so he could only hold back his anger and throw a bunch of information in front of the man.

"The surveillance at the airport, did you do it?"

"Yes. ”

"Did you expose yourself?"

"Nope. ”

"Definitely?"

"I'm sure. ”

The man paused, then continued.

"According to the original plan, I would disguise myself as a cleaning staff and load Zhou Wentao into a cleaning car and take it away, but I didn't want to encounter an accident, Zhou Wentao was rescued. ”

"Was rescued?" Mu Xunzhi raised his head and asked. "By whom?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't see that. The man shook his head and said. "I had already evacuated before the people from outside came in, in order to avoid revealing my identity. ”

“…… Your decision is correct, you are the 'shadow' of my [Military Aircraft Department], and you are also a 'secret weapon', if someone discovers your existence, I am afraid that there will be trouble. Mu Xunzhi rubbed his eyebrows, and his face seemed to be tired.

"Although Zhou Wentao has not been accused of 'defector' this time, I still have the permission to search for him, and as long as he falls into my hands, with your ability, it will be easy for him to 'self-confess' the crime of defection, and when the time comes, see how Lu Jingyi and Zimo justify themselves!"

Mu Xunzhi glanced at the man's amber pupils and said coldly.

"However, Zimo's side seems to be aware of our actions, and although I believe that you will not leave traces of yourself in the surveillance, it is better to be careful. It's just that in the absence of monitoring, we also lack clues to track Zhou Wentao's whereabouts, and it is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air, he must be hiding somewhere. I can cooperate with the dispatch of some manpower for you, but you need to find them for me quickly!"

"Understood, I'll go and prepare. The man nodded, and was about to turn to leave, when suddenly he seemed to remember something, and stopped again.

"By the way, when I arrested Zhou Wentao this time, I seemed to have discovered something strange. The man pondered, leaned over and whispered a few words to Mu Xunzhi, who squinted his eyes slightly, as if he had heard something bizarre.

"Are you sure ...... his wound?" asked Mu Xunzhi.

"It was only a glimpse, but I did see that his wounds seemed to be healing on their own. The man said. "However, the situation at the scene is chaotic, and the possibility of seeing it wrong cannot be ruled out. ”

"No, speaking of which, it may not be a coincidence that this kid had been seriously injured before, but he was unexpectedly healed quickly. Mu Xunzhi lowered his head and thought.

"Zhou Wentao, this kid, maybe it's not simple...... Don't make public the news about this person after he is caught, I have other arrangements. ”

"Yes. ”

……

Outside the window, a mechanical butterfly the size of a fingernail fluttered its wings, quietly flew out of the edge of the office window frame, and landed on the slender jade finger of the girl in the garden outside the office building.

Qing Yu carefully put away the mechanical butterfly and looked up at Mu Xunzhi's office window.

"Wen Tao ......"

Qing Yu muttered worriedly, and the hands holding the report materials trembled slightly from nervousness and shock.

"Uncle, he will never give up...... Brother Jianyun, what should I do?"

Qing Yu bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and disappeared into the shadow of the garden tree, and hurried away......
