After Xu Yan ended the call, he saw that there were a lot more police officers at the scene, and the new police officers were still coming from the city, and the sound of sirens and continuous cars kept coming from the distance, and the police cars of the brigade appeared on the school road, and the continuous police lights were very dazzling in the night.

The ambulance also came, and the paramedics carried Xu Yan's subordinates away on stretchers, and Xu Yan worriedly sent several unconscious subordinates to the ambulance, and then, he noticed that a long line of black cars had stopped on the side of the road - obviously, Jincheng was greatly alarmed tonight, and the leaders also came.

In the darkness of the night, Xu Yan couldn't recognize who was who, but Huang Shan did! Seeing the leaders' cars coming from afar, Huang Shan immediately greeted the side of the road, and before the car could stop, he had already walked up quickly: "Director Deng, hello, I have alarmed you......

"Ah, Secretary Zhao, you came here in person!"

Huang Shan greeted him like this, and whispered to Xu Yan beside him: "This is Director Lao of the National Security Bureau of Jincheng, and this is Director Deng of our Public Security Bureau, have you seen it...... This is the secretary of the Standing Committee of our Municipal Party Committee and the Political and Legal Committee...... This is Deputy Director Cao of our Municipal Bureau......"

All the officials were notified in the middle of the night to rush over from the bed, and they rubbed their sleepy eyes one by one, their clothes were quite messy, and their expressions were a little dazed, obviously they still couldn't figure out the situation at the scene.

Among the officials, Deng Bonan, director of the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau, knew the case best, and as soon as he got out of the car, he asked bluntly: "Huangshan, you said that the series of murders at Shudu University has been solved? The murderer has been killed?"

Huang Shan looked at Xu Yan a little embarrassed. He tactfully reminded Deng Bonan: "Director Deng, the elimination of the murderer is an investigation team from the capital. Two comrades died...... The other comrades are still in a coma. ”

Deng Bonan wiped his face tiredly, and he nodded apologetically to Xu Yan: "Director Xu has worked hard." The comrades have also worked hard, and we will take credit for the comrades when we go back - then, where is the murderer and the scene?"

"Secretary Zhao, Director Deng, leaders, please come with me - we haven't moved the scene yet, just waiting for the inspection by our superiors. Team Leader Xu, please come over too, you can eliminate the murderer with your own hands. I might want to introduce you later. ”

Among these officials, Xu Yan didn't know a few of them, but Huang Shan invited him so politely, in front of so many people, Xu Yan was embarrassed to refuse, he answered, followed Huang Shan, and slowly entered the small forest.

When I entered the woods, a pungent fishy smell came to me. Xu Yan frowned slightly: Why didn't you feel that it stinked so when you fought with that monster just now? Was it that you were so attentive when you fought just now that you couldn't smell its stench?

The leaders obviously smelled the stench and frowned. The pace slowed significantly. A leader of an unknown unit asked aloud: "Huang Zhi, how did you do it? It makes it so stinky, how can we inspect it later?"

Huang Shan smiled awkwardly. But in his heart, he scolded - this was the first scene where the murderer was killed, could he have done it himself?

The woods are not big. After walking less than a few hundred meters into the woods, they arrived at the scene of the real murder - when they saw the scene of the large area of trees that had been broken by the roots. The officials had already realized that tonight's movement was unusual, but they suddenly saw with their own eyes the mountain-like behemoth, even though the leaders had cultivated the cultivation of "joy and anger are invisible", they still could not maintain their composure, and the scene resounded with the exclamations and screams of ghosts and wolves, some people fled out, some shouted for help, and some even sat down on the ground in fright, and their pants were wet. This chaotic scene lasted for several minutes, during which the embarrassing scene was naturally not enough for outsiders to say, Huangshan spent a lot of effort, and finally made everyone regain their composure.

When the officials regained their composure, the overwhelming questions came towards Xu Yan: "Team Leader Xu, this corpse, what is that?"

"Team Leader Xu, where did this monster come from, and how did it appear on the campus of Shudu University?"

"Director Xu, how do you know that this monster is the murderer of many teachers, students, and police officers? Is there any evidence?"

"May I ask Director Xu, I heard that two comrades died, how did they die? Where are the bodies? Director Xu, what was the specific process of the battle? The giant snake monster is so huge, what weapon did you use to kill it?"

After the shock, the officials gathered around, and the questions came one after another to Xu Yan.

If it were normal times, Xu Yan might still have the patience to answer for them, but now, just after the battle, Xu Yan was exhausted, thinking that the entire human world was facing the crisis of extinction, Xu Yan was even more depressed, he was not in the mood to deal with these local officials at all, and Xu Yan sent away all the questions with one sentence: "This is the confidential situation of our investigation team, and it is inconvenient to answer for the time being." ”

After listening to Xu Yan's answer, the officials all looked gloomy -- even the central investigation team can't be so rude, right? If it was the head of the Ministry of Intelligence or the minister of national security, it would still be acceptable for people to say such things, but the little hairy child in front of him, in terms of age, his own sons are older than him, and when it comes to official positions, it is even worse than 108,000 miles. Previously, everyone was polite to him, but they just saw that he was the person in charge of the investigation team who came down from the capital, and everyone was polite on the face, but I didn't expect this guy to really drag it up, and he actually kept saying what "secret" -- confidential? Lao Tzu has read more confidential documents than you kid has read more pornographic novels!

Among the officials present, the secretary of the Jincheng Political and Legal Committee had the highest status, and he faintly became a representative of the officials present. Secretary Zhao is not very old, in his forties, not tall, but he looks very strong. His eyes were sharp, his nose was large and high, hooked, his eyebrows were thick, and his expression was serious—a sign of vigor and decisiveness, according to the photobook.

Secretary Zhao was also called up in the middle of the night by an urgent notice, but he didn't seem to be so sleepy. On the contrary, he was full of energy, his eyes were blazing, and he seemed very excited. There is a smell of capable killing - in terms of appearance and temperament, he is more like a public security chief than Deng Bonan. And Deng Bonan's appearance and temperament look too soft.

Secretary Zhao walked up to Xu Yan and politely stretched out his hand to shake Xu Yan, shaking it very strongly: "Hello, Team Leader Xu!"

"Hello, Secretary Zhao!"

Secretary Zhao snorted heartily: "Hehe, Director Xu, you came down from the capital, this trip has been hard! I originally thought that I would take some time in the past two days." I arranged a meeting with the comrades of your investigation team, but I didn't expect to meet here.

Team Leader Xu, you are worthy of the investigation team from the central government, this level and ability are different, just came down, immediately found out the murderer of the case, eliminated it overnight, eradicated this major disaster, and removed a scourge for the people of Jincheng. It also avenged the victims and the sacrificed police officers.

We, the Jincheng City CPC Committee, the government, and all the citizens of Jincheng City, will never forget the hard work and merits of the comrades of the investigation team! We must report to the provincial party committee, ask the provincial party committee to ask the central authorities for their merits, and commend your work!

Team Leader Xu. As an investigation department sent by the central government, you are responsible for your superiors, and we fully understand that. I also support your work! But Team Leader Xu, you also have to understand us! We are in the Jincheng political and legal system. We are also responsible for the 20 million citizens of Jincheng! In this case, dozens of people have died and disappeared. Among them are our college students from Shudu Province, as well as our ordinary citizens, and even our public security officers and policemen -- please understand our difficulties, we have to directly face the citizens, and face the families of those killed and missing citizens.

Team Leader Xu, you just give us a sentence of 'no work secrets', so we can't explain to the provincial and municipal party committees, and we can't explain to the families of the deceased! Why do you have to reveal some of this matter?"

Secretary Zhao had a strong Beijing accent, Xu Yan sighed and replied, "Secretary Zhao, what do you want to know?"

"It's very simple, our citizens, our police, what did they get rid of? What the hell is this giant snake? Where did it come from? Okay, even if these are your secrets, but there is one thing, Team Leader Xu, you have to give us a thorough understanding-"

Secretary Zhao stood up and approached Xu Yan, he lowered his voice: "Like this monster, does it have any companions? Is there anything else? Will it appear in our Jincheng again? Lieutenant Colonel Xu, you don't have to say anything else, but you have to give me a thorough understanding of this problem, as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, I am responsible for the personal safety of the people of the city!"

Secretary Zhao is not tall, but he is very imposing, his waist is straight, and when he stands there, the momentum is like a nail poked on the ground, which looks majestic and full of confidence. His voice was not high, but his tone was unmistakable, fully showing the condescending and powerful sense of a high-ranking official.

Xu Yan faced Secretary Zhao directly, and naturally felt more obvious about his momentum, and he secretly sighed: This aura that is condensed like a substance, I am afraid that it is the official authority that people have in legends, right? If it is an ordinary person, in the face of such a strong aura, I am afraid that Secretary Zhao will have to agree to anything, but Xu Yan is not an ordinary person - as a member of the cultivators, as his cultivation level improves, Xu Yan's will gradually becomes firmer. Secretary Zhao's aura didn't work for him at all.

"Secretary Zhao, I can understand your feelings, but now, I'm afraid this is not a top priority, the sky is about to dawn, let's think about how to explain this big snake to tens of thousands of college students, right? Secretary Zhao, Director Deng, you two are the top leaders on the scene, how to deal with the aftermath, please come out with an idea." ”

Secretary Zhao was stunned for a moment, and looked at everyone - everyone remembered that how to deal with the aftermath of the case scene was a more headache than how to explain.

Secretary Zhao said sternly: "How can such a matter be made public tonight? That will cause panic in society!" He glanced around at everyone present and said in an unquestionable tone: "Immediately arrange for someone to cordon off the scene and pull the body away as soon as possible!" This matter must not be spread to the outside world and handled secretly!"

Everyone looked at each other: Secretary Zhao's words were not wrong, according to the usual practice, the handling of cases of such special events should be secret and would not be known to ordinary people.

But the problem is that this case is different, the place where the crime occurred is very sensitive, and it is located in a university town that enjoys considerable popularity at home and abroad, which determines that there are many ordinary methods that cannot be used here -- there are tens of thousands of teachers and students in Shudu University, and it is not the kind of sparsely populated deserted villages and mountains, how to clear and seal it down?

Secondly, the peculiarities of this incident also determined that it was difficult to deal with it secretly and privately. In the usual secret case, find a few people to carry the body into the car and pull it away, and clean up the blood and bullet marks at the scene, and there are basically no traces. But in this incident, a giant beast was lying on the campus of Shudu University, such a huge corpse, weighing dozens of tons, could not be moved away by two people holding a body bag.

Transporting the carcass of this monster, which weighed tens or even hundreds of tons, was like a major project, requiring a heavy transport fleet, heavy cranes, a professional team to carry out the construction, and a special engineer to direct and plan the entire operation - the difficulty was similar to transporting a bridge in its entirety.

Most of the officials present were officials from the political, legal, and public security systems, and when it came to how to handle cases or maintain order, everyone could still say one, two, three, four, but when it came to how to preside over such a huge project, everyone was a layman and felt deeply troubled.

Director Deng Bonan said: "Secretary Zhao, to deal with such a large monster corpse, our Public Security Bureau has really not disposed of it, I'm afraid it's beyond our ability, we have to ask the city to coordinate the dispatch of a large engineering team - at the same time, we have to keep it secret...... We're worried that we're not going to be able to do it. ”

Everyone understands: That's right, if secrecy is required during the transportation process, the difficulty of this project will increase exponentially -- even if everyone can block the scene in Shudu University, but to transport such a behemoth out of the city, whether it is to the airport or the railway, and everywhere it passes, there will be thousands of witnesses -- such a huge giant snake corpse is a shocking existence everywhere, and it is impossible to keep it secret.

Although Secretary Zhao is strong, he is not unreasonable. His face was gloomy, and he groaned slightly, but he turned to Xu Yan: "Director Xu, what is the attitude of your intelligence department regarding the aftermath of this incident?

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment--he was just trying to divert his attention, why did the ball kick back to his head again? He said in a deep voice: "Secretary Zhao, I have asked the Vice Minister of Culture of the Ministry of Intelligence for instructions, and he instructed: It is necessary to keep the corpse of the strange snake intact and transport it to the capital. ”

Secretary Zhao frowned, and he asked, "Didn't Minister Wen emphasize secrecy and blocking news?"

Xu Yan recalled the following words, and he said: "Minister Wen did not emphasize this...... He just said that he wanted to protect the corpse of the strange snake. Secretary Zhao, do you need me to call Minister Wen again for instructions?"

Secretary Zhao nodded: "That's the best! In this way, Director Xu, you can help us ask Minister Wen for help by the way-our Jincheng City Government asks for support from the People's Liberation Army, and requests that an engineering unit with heavy equipment be dispatched to carry this giant snake!" )
