Looking at Xu Yan's puzzled eyes, Wen Xiuzhi smiled and said, "Yanzi, there is a folk saying called 'ghost upper body'. I have come across such a case before: there was a man in his thirties in Koto City, he suddenly fainted from hysteria one day, and when he woke up, he suddenly said a lot of inexplicable words, as if he was a completely different person from before.

When we went to investigate, the man told us that he was another person who had died, and he could tell many details of the deceased's life, and even the bank account password of the deceased before his death, and everyone said that this person was ghost-Yanzi, you see, the situation of the demon possessing Huang Dan is a bit similar to this situation?"

"Well, these two situations are indeed a bit similar-" Xu Yan suddenly came to his senses and said in a lost voice: "Brother Wen, are you looking for those celestial masters who exorcise demons and catch ghosts to deal with Huang Dan?"

Wen Xiuyi slapped his thigh and said happily: "That's right! Yanzi, we are not good at dealing with this evil spirit, but some people are good at it! Think about it, who is the best at exorcism and catching ghosts?"

Wen Xiuzhi actually wanted to invite those celestial masters and divine sticks to deal with Huang Dan?

Xu Yan's mind was at a loss, he was shocked by Wen Xiuzhi's whimsical thinking, and he stammered: "However, those gods, many of them are charlatans who only know how to brag and cheat money. We're going to rely on them to deal with Huang Dan, we're afraid we'll mess things up, right?"

Wen Xiuzhi looked at Xu Yan and seemed to smile: "Are they all liars?" Master Xu, didn't you say that when you saw my old man?"

Xu Yan was embarrassed. Wen Xiu said solemnly: "Master Xu, although your industry is mixed. There are indeed many people who deceive the world and steal their reputation, but the world is huge. There is a dragon and a crouching tiger in the recklessness, Master Xu, you'd better not underestimate your peers - among them, there are still many people who have real materials. ”

"Brother Wen, can we stop mentioning this?"

Seeing that Xu Yan's face was so embarrassed that his face turned red, Wen Xiuzhi smiled: "Okay, no kidding! I want Lieutenant Colonel Li Butian from the fourth bureau to come over and help, he is better at this." ”

"Li Butian?" Xu Yan was dazed in his eyes: "I haven't heard of this person at all." ”

"Hehe, it's normal that you haven't heard of him. But the Li Tianshi family of Qinglong Mountain, you should have heard of it, right?"

"Li Tianshi?" Xu Yan smiled: "Brother Wen, aren't you telling me about things on TV? I remember watching a Xiangjiang TV series before, in which there was a story about Li Tianshi from Qinglong Mountain coming out to catch ghosts-Lieutenant Colonel Li, he is really from the Li family of Qinglong Mountain? God, I always thought that this was all fiction on TV!"

"Yanzi, this is how rare and strange you are, Li Daojun, the ancestor of the Qinglong Mountain lineage, is not only the founder of the Qinglong Dao Sect. It is also an important founder of Taoism in our north. The Qinglong Li family is a famous Taoist family, and all dynasties have been awarded heavenly masters by the imperial court. Even now, let's not talk about feudal superstition but only materialism, but the Li family is still a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) who can't be shaken every year!"

I don't know if it's Xu Yan's illusion. He felt that in Wen Xiuzhi's faint tone, there was an inexplicable taste of ridicule. He let out an "oh" sound: "It turns out that there really is this Qinglong Dao Sect?" Is he also a Taoist?"

"Not really. Li Butian is the third son of the Li family of this generation, not a son-in-law. According to the rules of his house. There is no way for him to inherit the title of Heavenly Master. However, Li Butian is very talented in spells and talismans, and his skills far surpass those of his father and brother. He is the number one master in the Blue Dragon Sect.

A few years ago, by chance, my former Vice Minister Zhang discovered Li Butian's special talent and recruited him into our department through a special recruitment procedure - by the way, Brother Yan, you also came in through the special recruitment procedure, which is a channel prepared for special talents with special talents.

I know this person very well, he is by no means the kind of charlatan, he has real materials, he has dealt with several difficult cases, especially good at dealing with supernatural cases such as ghosts and evil spirits, and is the number one expert in this area in the ministry. Since this case involves the realm of ghosts and evil spirits, it is more appropriate for him to deal with it. ”

Saying that, Wen Xiuzhi glanced at Xu Yan, and he said, "Yanzi, don't be too careful. I'm not saying that you are inferior to Li Butian, but there are specializations in the art industry, and everyone has their own strengths, which is normal. Iwazi, I think you're better at dealing with those anomalous creatures with entities - for example, the giant snake this time, such as the F-virus maniacs, but when it comes to dealing with those formless and incorporeal evil spirits, I'm afraid you're not very good at it, brother. ”

Regarding Wen Xiuzhi's comment, Xu Yan nodded silently - when Zhu Youxiang asked him to choose the path of cultivation, he gave himself two choices, one is to take the road of "sword cultivation" and learn the invincible sword, and the other is to learn "law cultivation" and learn the "exorcism and purification technique" that specializes in dealing with various yin and evil spirits.

At that time, Xu Yan chose "Sword Cultivation", as Wen Xiuzhi said, he was good at dealing with those otherworldly monsters with material bodies, but he was not good at resisting all kinds of ghosts, evil spirits and other evil spirits, and lacked strong attack methods.

At this time, Xu Yan really regretted it a little: if he had chosen to learn the "Exorcism and Purification Technique" at that time, this skill would have been the nemesis of an evil spirit like Huang Dan, right?

Immediately, Xu Yan laughed again: What are you thinking? If he hadn't chosen 'sword cultivation' at that time and couldn't use the flying sword, he was afraid that he would have died when he encountered the big snake last night, how could he have time to regret it? If you can't have both fish and bear's paws, how can there be anything perfect in the world?

At the same time, Xu Yan was also secretly frightened - this guy Wen Xiuzhi was arrogant on the surface, but in fact, he had been secretly observing himself!

Xu Yan nodded: "This case is very tricky, if Lieutenant Colonel Li is willing to help, it will be great." There is great strength in numbers, and I welcome Lieutenant Colonel Lee. ”

"Well, Lao Li is coming, and it should be almost there. ”

"Ah, Lieutenant Colonel Li, is he also in Jincheng now?"

"When I received a call from you saying that there was an enemy here who was good at psychic attacks and demagoguery, I thought of him. In terms of exorcism and evil spirits. He's a good hand, so. I brought him with me when I came.

Lao Li is now in the hospital, visiting Zhang Wenbin and them. I just informed him that he was coming and he should be on his way. Yanzi, we don't have to sit here and wait, let's order something to eat, let's wait while eating. ”

Xu Yan was stunned: "Brother Wen, it's time for you, do you still have the heart to eat?"

Wen Xiu's face was surprised: "The meal is ordered, how can you not eat?"

Xu Yan really admired Wen Xiuzhi's calmness, and encountered this kind of thing. He was so worried, but he could still think about eating!

Xu Yan went out to call the waiter and asked someone to serve the food. Because he knew that Huang Dan would not come to attack for the time being, Xu Yan was also relieved, and chatted with Wen Xiuzhi while eating, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Wen Xiuzhi told Xu Yan that the incident of the giant snake at Shuchuan University was very alarming, and the Ministry of Intelligence had urgently reported the incident to the Military Commission today. It is comparable to the Ginza monster incident in Japan. Minister Liu, the number one leader of the Ministry of Intelligence, attached great importance to the strange snake incident and repeatedly told Wen Xiuzhi to express his condolences to the comrades of the meritorious investigation team, especially Director Xu Yan, who played the greatest role in it.

"Yanzi. You have made meritorious contributions several times, and Minister Liu has a very good impression of you!"

Speaking of this, Wen Xiuzhi looked very sorry: "Hey." Yanzi, you're still too young. It's also too close to the last promotion. You were promoted to lieutenant colonel of the regiment before you went to Japan, right? It's only been a month! This time is so close that I really can't open my mouth. Otherwise, with this credit, I will give you a regular rank for the whole group.

This time, I guess I don't have to think about the promotion, at least until the second half of the year. However, if you have any other ideas and requirements, you can tell me about them - such as asking for money or a house in the capital, or asking for a reward, this is all negotiable. I estimate that if you report your results this time, you will at least be able to get a first-class merit and work better, and it is possible that you will not be able to do a special merit. ”

Xu Yan also didn't seem to understand these things, and he asked, "First-class merit, what's the use?"

Wen Xiuzhi smiled: "There is a slip of the tongue in our army, called 'third-class merit requires sweat, second-class merit requires blood, and first-class merit requires death', first-class merit is not a joke, either you will exchange your life for it, or you will have real results, and you can't fool around."

This is mainly an honor, although there are also material rewards, but not much, only tens of thousands of yuan, and the most important thing is that political future - after you get the first-class merit this time, in the future, no matter how I promote you, no one else will be able to gossip about you. Whoever gossips, go and get a first-class merit first!

If you can get a special merit, it will be even more awesome, most of the people who won this award in the past were hung on the wall with black cloth in the photo, and few people can get this award alive. But if you can really take special merits, uh, to put it mildly—as long as you don't make any big mistakes in the future, even if you don't do anything for the rest of your life, just drink tea and read the newspaper, just by eating this qualification, you will definitely be able to mix stars on your shoulders in this life.

However, this special function can't be obtained, and the key is to see how you look at this Shuchuan University monster incident. If the above thinks that this incident is a crisis and disaster of the same level as the Ginza incident in Tokyo, Japan, then Iwako, you quelled the incident and eliminated the disaster and saved thousands of lives, and you will definitely get special merit for such a merit. But if the higher-ups don't think this incident is that serious, then they might send you away with first-class merit - this kind of thing, maybe. ”

"It doesn't matter, I am also very satisfied with a first-class merit. Brother Wen, if I could ask for anything-"

Speaking of this, Xu Yan hesitated, and he said in a low voice: "Can the two sacrificed comrades, Gao Feng and Wang Zhiwen, give their families more care and pension?"

Speaking of this question, Wen Xiuzhi's face also darkened, he took a hard puff of cigarette, spit out a smoke ring, surrounded by smoke, he said in a deep voice: "Yanzi, don't worry, the military budget has increased in the past two years, and the pension for the martyrs who sacrificed is still very generous, and the ministry also has another subsidy, so the families of the martyrs should not have any difficulties in life."

Yanzi, this is the first time you have led a team on a mission, and your subordinates have sacrificed, do you feel a lot of pressure, feel guilty, and feel very sorry for their families?"

Xu Yan hesitated, and he asked rhetorically, "Brother Wen, isn't it right to think like this?"

Wen Xiuzhi shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, I also came here like this back then, everyone is the same, it's normal - people can be ruthless, cherish their subordinates, and miss their comrades-in-arms, this is human nature." But if you're so caught up in it, or even guilty, there's no need.

We are soldiers of the special front, we enjoy privileges, the state has given us far more preferential treatment than ordinary, and the common people have worked hard to pay taxes to support us, and this money is not taken for nothing - we should have the consciousness of sacrifice at any time when we do this business!

Yanzi, you have done your best, and they did not die for you - to put it lofty, they sacrificed for this country and for the protection of the common people, and there is no question of who is sorry for whom! It is Xiao Gao and Xiao Wang who are sacrificed today, and maybe it will be our brothers who will be sacrificed tomorrow!

Taking this risk and being born and dying is the path we voluntarily choose, including those comrades who sacrificed, and they have long been mentally prepared for this -- everyone has only one life, and they are willing to gamble and lose, and they have no regrets in life and death!"

Wen Xiuzhi said this sentence in such a flat tone, Xu Yan couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

The two of them looked at each other silently, and then, Wen Xiuzhi seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, I just mentioned the monster incident in Tokyo, Japan, and I really forgot to tell you something: the day before yesterday, the Japanese embassy contacted us. ”

Xu Yan was absent-minded: "Ah, what are the Japanese looking for you?"

"The Japanese embassy contacted us yesterday and asked us to help find the Chinese woman, Zhu Youxiang. They believe that the mysterious woman who appeared at the scene of the monster incident is her younger sister Zhu Youxiang. ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Xu Yan was messed up all of a sudden. He looked at Wen Xiuzhi in shock, but he couldn't say a word.

The latter didn't look at him, but drank tea by himself, and said very calmly: "Well, the diplomats of the Japanese Embassy were led by people from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they contacted us through official channels, because I arranged this official business trip to Japan at that time, and Minister Liu asked me to receive them."

Of course, I made it clear to the Japanese side that Miss Zhu is not a member of our military staff and that we cannot provide them with her information. Moreover, Miss Zhu has been killed in Japan. She did not return home.

The liaison officer of the Japanese embassy agreed, saying that they had Miss Zhu's entry record, but they could not find Miss Zhu's exit record. ”

At this time, Wen Xiuzhi raised his head and looked at Xu Yan lightly: "However, despite knowing this, the Japanese still don't give up, they still hope to see you and learn something about you." (To be continued.) )
