Xu Yan called Wen Xiuzhi again, and he conveyed the meaning of the secretary Zhao, and Wen Xiuzhi was very surprised: "In the huge Jincheng City, can't you find a heavy convoy and equipment that can transport the corpse of the giant snake?"

"Previously, Jincheng did consider organizing a large mechanical construction team to load and transport the corpse of this monster. However, they are worried that there are too many construction personnel involved in the use of civilian engineering construction teams, and they are afraid that there will be no way to keep this matter secret, so it is better to dispatch the engineering troops of our army, so that it is easier to block the news. ”

Wen Xiuzhi snorted, he was thoughtful, of course he understood the meaning of the bureaucrats in Jincheng, the other party was asking him for help on the surface, but in fact he was bargaining with him - Jincheng City had a word first, and they did not guarantee that they could block the news. If Minister of Culture is not satisfied, please find someone to move this big snake by yourself!

As soon as the monster was gone, you dared to bargain with me like this?

Wen Xiu's heart was arrogant, and he didn't show his displeasure in his heart, but just said lightly: "I know." I'll contact the Jincheng Military Region to see if there are any engineering units equipped with heavy equipment around Jincheng, and if so, they will carry out the loading and unloading tasks, which is naturally the best;

Yanzi, you tell Secretary Zhao, ask the public security department in Jincheng to do a good job of blocking the scene, try to do a serious and meticulous job, and do your best to intercept the spread of the news. ”

Wen Xiuzhi said so, but in the end, he couldn't keep it secret - he didn't have any hope at all. So many police officers and officials have seen the monster's corpse, and now there are more than a few hundred people in the know, after dawn. Maybe the leaders of Shudu Province and the leaders of the security department will also go to the scene to inspect, and the number of onlookers and insiders at that time will not exceed a few thousand?

Plus the construction crews at that time. The crowds transporting the monsters along the way, they will also see the remains of the monsters - when the time comes. The number of witnesses will be measured in 10,000. With such a large number of people in the know, Wen Xiuzhi knew that it was impossible to keep this matter secret, and it would eventually have to be made public. Therefore, Wen Xiuzhi basically has no hope for this matter.

Wen Xiuzhi didn't care about whether it could be kept secret, but from Xu Yan's words, he could vaguely feel that the senior leaders of Jincheng City didn't seem to buy Xu Yan, the "head of the central investigation team", very much. And Secretary Zhao's attitude doesn't seem to be very cooperative.

Wen Xiuzhi is a person who is used to preparing for the worst, he told Xu Yan: "Yanzi, other things, it's okay to deal with Jincheng over there, we don't interfere, you are over there, just do one thing well: the corpse of the monster must not be damaged!"

You and the comrades of the investigation team must guard the monster's corpse every step of the way and protect it! If Jincheng wants to disturb the corpse of the monster snake. You have to resolutely stop it. If anyone does not heed the advice, you must not back down, even ...... You can consider using force to stop it, even if there is a conflict!"

Wen Xiuzhi thought things so badly. Even said that he could use force, Xu Yan couldn't help but be speechless, he had to remind Wen Xiuzhi: "Minister Wen." As you know, there are only a few people in our investigation team. In addition to the two comrades who died, three others were also wounded. Taken to the hospital. Now, the only people who remain at the scene are me, Huang Xi and Tang Min, two female comrades. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for us to carry out this task -- this is the land of Jincheng, and there are hundreds of policemen around, and they can easily mobilize hundreds of policemen to take the three of us away, and if there is really any conflict, if we want to stop them, I am afraid that it is impossible. ”

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Wen Xiuzhi suddenly hesitated: "It seems that the situation in Jincheng is still quite complicated...... Well, what you're saying is that it's full of people from Jincheng over there, and if there's really anything, it's really too reluctant for you to support over there alone, and it's hard to deal with.

In this case, I will call the Jincheng garrison and ask them to give you reinforcements -- I think, let's come with a battalion first! An infantry battalion will take control of the situation on the spot first!"

"Do you want to dispatch a garrison?" Xu Yan was taken aback: "Didn't you say before that it would be very difficult to mobilize the garrison into the city?"

"Hehe, it's time and time. Previously, we had no evidence, so it was naturally inconvenient to move troops at will. But now, since a huge monster has been discovered in Shudu University, this is naturally a definite major crisis, and our military will take over, which is a legitimate thing, and no one can say that we are wrong. ”

Wen Xiuzhi is a thoughtful person, and he is prepared - no matter what the officials of Jincheng are thinking, whether they are willing to cooperate or not, as long as the troops enter the scene and control the remains of the monster, at that time, the situation will be all in their own hands, and they will advance and retreat freely.

"Yanzi, when the time comes, this battalion will be under your command. You told the leaders of Jincheng that this battalion was used by us to assist them in blocking the scene...... But you know for yourself that their real mission is to protect the corpse of this giant snake monster. ”

"Ah, I'm going to command a battalion?" Hearing Wen Xiuzhi say this, Xu Yan was suddenly shocked: he was the person who was most afraid of trouble. As the leader of the investigation team, Xu Yan already felt exhausted, and now he still had to take over a real infantry battalion, which was not a few hundred people?

"Hehe, Brother Yan, don't worry, letting you command a battalion doesn't really ask you to specifically dispatch and arrange the battalion - there are already battalion commanders, political commissars, and company platoon commanders below, and they are responsible for specific execution. What you have to do is give them orders and tell them what to do! As for how to arrange the manpower and how to dispatch the execution, that's their business. And you're not going to be in charge for a long time -- by the way, what time is it?"

"Four and five in the morning. ”

"Okay, I'll report the news to my superiors immediately, and I'll also organize a gathering of experts and technicians in the relevant disciplines. It is estimated that I will be able to arrive at the scene with the team of experts before noon tomorrow, and at that time, I will take over the command of the scene.

Before I arrived at the scene, you cooperated with the Jincheng Public Security Bureau to maintain order at the scene. Organize blockades and isolation zones to prevent outsiders from entering and causing trouble. ”

Wen Xiuzhi's task to Xu Yan was simple. It is to let Xu Yan maintain the order of the scene and protect the scene. For this task, Xu Yan gladly accepted it - something too complicated to do, and arranging a blockade to prevent outsiders from approaching, isn't this kind of thing simple?

At that moment, he found Secretary Zhao and said in a deep voice: "I have asked the head of the headquarters to be very concerned about this matter! Tomorrow at noon, the vice minister of culture and culture of the Ministry of Intelligence will personally arrive at the scene to take charge of the aftermath of this incident. ”

Listen to Xu Yan say this. The officials felt relieved -- the military finally had a more reliable person in charge! It was not that everyone had any opinion about Xu Yan, but most of the officials present were in their forties and fifties, but they had to discuss things seriously with this stinky little hairy boy on an equal footing, and even had to listen to his instructions and dispatches. Now, the capital has finally sent a real general to take charge of this matter, and everyone immediately feels relaxed - finally they don't have to deal with this little hairy boy Lieutenant Colonel anymore!

Hearing Wen Xiuzhi's name, Secretary Zhao raised his sword eyebrows, and he whispered, "The fourth child of the Wen family wants to come over?" asked lightly: "So, Wen Laosi...... Uh, I mean Vice Minister Moon, does he have any instructions?"

"Minister Wen will bring a group of relevant experts to investigate the monster's body at noon tomorrow, before he arrives. We have to keep the site safe. ”

"That's how it should be - what else?"

Minister Wen hopes that Jincheng City can do a good job in the blockade of the scene and the relevant people in the know. It is necessary to carry out confidentiality education and not allow information to leak out. ”

Director Deng Bonan stood by the side and did not speak. Hearing Xu Yan's request, he had a difficult face: "This." The city bureau will restrain our police officers and warn everyone not to talk nonsense. But Director Xu, you also know that this is a campus area, densely populated, after dawn, there will inevitably be a large number of onlookers, the news will spread quickly, and it is difficult to keep it secret. ”

"Can you lock down the scene completely?"

"It's not that difficult, with more than two hundred police forces, it should be possible to surround the monster corpses......"

Secretary Zhao interjected: "How can it be enough to just surround the corpses? I think, at least the entire post-school area should be cordoned off! The surrounding several teaching buildings and student dormitory buildings that can be seen here have all been evacuated and emptied!"

Deng Bonan said weakly: "If you want to completely block the post-school area, I am afraid that the police force will be insufficient." ”

Secretary Zhao raised his voice and said strictly: "If the police force is insufficient, then we should transfer them! City bureaus and sub-bureaus are all right! The tens of thousands of cadres and policemen of the Jincheng Public Security Bureau are really in trouble now, and they can't even transfer 1,000 or hundreds of people? Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, our public security bureau has a fund of more than 100 million yuan a year, and it is really impossible to do this little thing at a critical time?"

Deng Bonan was silent and nodded slowly: "Okay, let's notify us and dispatch the police to come over." ”

Seeing this scene, Xu Yan was secretly surprised - he had been mixed up for a while, and he had some understanding of officialdom. Deng Bonan is the director and deputy mayor of the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau, and in terms of rank, he is on an equal footing with Secretary Zhao, but for some reason, Deng Bonan's aura in front of Secretary Zhao seems to be very weak, almost like a subordinate, and he doesn't even dare to say a word.

Xu Yan coughed dryly and interjected: "Secretary Zhao, Director Deng, there is something I want to report to you: Minister Wen has already made arrangements, and the Jincheng Garrison District is ready to send a battalion to the scene to assist in blocking the scene." They'll be here soon, and they should be able to make up for some of the lack of police. ”

When Xu Yan spoke, Secretary Zhao and Director Deng both turned their heads to look at him, for some reason, the taste in their eyes looked very weird, Xu Yan finished his words by himself, and then looked at the two of them and asked, "Secretary Zhao, Director Deng, this, is there any problem?"

Secretary Zhao retracted his gaze, and he nodded quietly: "Since it is an arrangement for the troops, I have no opinion." ”

Secretary Zhao has no opinion, and the matter is decided. Looking at the atmosphere at the scene, Xu Yan didn't want to get involved, he said hello and was about to leave, but at this time, Secretary Zhao stopped him: "Director Xu, let me ask you something-Lao Deng, you are busy with your going, I have something to talk to Director Xu." ”

Secretary Zhao sent Deng Bonan away, his expression looked kinder, he approached Xu Yan, put one hand on Xu Yan's shoulder, as if to show his affectionate attitude, he said in a deep voice: "Director Xu, I appreciate the work style and attitude of your comrades in the army. As soon as your working group arrived in Jincheng, on the first day, it found out the problem and cracked this major case -- this kind of vigorous and resolute style of work and this kind of work ability are really much stronger than our Jincheng Public Security Bureau. ”

"Secretary Zhao, you have won the award. Although Secretary Zhao smiled and was very kind, Xu Yan still read a hint of strangeness from his smile, and he said politely: "We were able to solve the case quickly, firstly, because we were lucky, and we ran into it by mistake, and there was a great element of luck; second, it was also because the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau had done a lot of work in the early stage, which paved the way for our work -- without their assistance, we would not have been able to solve the case so quickly." ”

"Well," hearing Xu Yan praise the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau, Secretary Zhao was noncommittal, he said: "Director Xu, I heard that you are the number one expert in dealing with this kind of special case in China, you can quickly solve the case in such a short time, you should know the situation of this kind of monster very well, right?"

Unable to figure out the intention of recruiting the secretary, Xu Yan could only say cautiously: "I don't know a lot, because of the nature of our work, we have a lot of contact with these strange things, so let's understand a little - as for you saying that I am an expert, I am really ashamed." ”

"Hehe, Director Xu is too modest. Director Xu, I would like to ask: Where was this giant snake hiding before it was discovered by you?"

Xu Yan groaned slightly, but he didn't know how to answer for a while - according to the introduction in the classics, the earth worm used the earth escape technique to lurk underground, survive and travel through the land, but according to the scientific theory of the earthlings, this can't be explained at all!

How can living things survive and move in solids?

If it is explained according to scientific theory, the existence of the giant snake monster should be a theory involving extradimensional space. According to Xu Yan's understanding, the giant snake is likely to exist in the soil in an extradimensional way, but when it needs to, it can freely enter and exit the extradimensional space and enter the earth plane to hunt and hunt prey-so, Secretary Zhao asked where the giant snake monster was hiding, which is really not something that can be explained in a few simple words.

Seeing that Xu Yan was silent, Secretary Zhao asked: "Director Xu, I mean, before you were eliminated by Director Xu, did this giant snake hide in the campus of Shudu University?"

Xu Yan pondered for a while before he reluctantly said, "...... In a sense, it can be counted. ”

Hearing Xu Yan's affirmative answer, Secretary Zhao seemed to be very satisfied, and he said: "Director Xu, you led a team to Jincheng to carry out an investigation, and in less than a day and a night, you immediately found the trace of that monster and immediately eliminated it; moreover, the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau has stationed hundreds of police forces on the campus and arranged so many monitoring equipment, but it has not even found such a big giant snake hiding in the campus -- isn't this ridiculous?"

It has been more than a month since the first crime began, and such a big monster has been hiding in the campus, but our public security bureau has not noticed it, and this is too perfunctory! I think there are big problems with the ability and attitude of our Jincheng public security team, and we need a major rectification!"

Xu Yan could see that although Secretary Zhao was speaking to himself, he was not saying those words to himself—he was more like saying it to himself. How does Secretary Zhao evaluate the work of the Jincheng Public Security Bureau, this is an internal matter of the Jincheng political and legal system, Xu Yan is not interested in care, he hummed and dealt with a few words, just at this time, his mobile phone rang, Xu Yan took the opportunity to say sorry, and walked away to answer the phone.
