Section 245: Retention in custody

After speaking, Liu Shanming walked straight out of the door, and when he was about to go out, he paused, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "By the way, Xiao Xu, these days, don't go out and walk around, don't contact people outside, and rest here." Food, drink, and life, what you need, you just tell our people - okay, you don't have to send it, stay, stay!"

Liu Shanming said not to send it, he actually didn't wait for Xu Yan to send it, so he flashed out of the guest room quickly, Xu Yan was stunned for a moment before reacting, he chased out the door, but saw that Liu Shanming had gone far in the corridor, Xu Yan chased out, and shouted: "Director Liu, you wait a minute, make it clear! You just left me here, what the hell is going on?"

But I don't know if Liu Shanming didn't hear it or he deliberately pretended not to hear it, his figure paused slightly, but he continued to move forward and soon disappeared into the corridor. Xu Yan was about to chase after him, when two men in civilian clothes suddenly flashed out at the corner of the corridor, they stretched out their hands, blocked Xu Yan, and said very politely: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, don't leave your residence for the time being, please go back to your room." โ€

Both lads had flat heads and looked lean. Although they were all dressed in civilian clothes, Xu Yan could tell that these two people must be soldiers.

Stopped by the two of them, Xu Yan was secretly angry, he glanced at the two soldiers, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes - Xu Yan's trip to Japan, although it was not long in time, but in terms of spirit and temperament, his change can really be described as a rebirth. In Japan, he killed a police officer!

The eyes of people who have killed people are really different from ordinary people, giving people great oppression!

He asked lightly, "Did Director Liu ask you to guard me?"

Came into contact with Xu Yan's sharp gaze with hidden murderous intent. Both soldiers felt a little unbearable - Lieutenant Colonel Xu in front of him looked at Si Swenwen like an ordinary college student. But he gives people the impression that he is very dangerous, like a fierce beast that chooses people to devour. It can break out at any time and hurt people!

Sensing Xu Yan's murderous intent, the two soldiers involuntarily took a step back, they glanced at each other, and there was a faint fear in their eyes - if the enemy in front of them was nothing, no matter how fierce the enemy was, they had also encountered it, and it was a big deal to fight hard.

But the problem is that it's immediate. is also a special intelligence officer of the Ministry of Intelligence, and his military rank is still a lieutenant colonel. Although I heard that he made a mistake and the organization wants to investigate him, but after all, it has not been implemented, in case it is found out that it is okay in the end, the other party is a dignified school official, and he wants to retaliate against a few of his own soldiers, it is not a simple matter to take it by hand?

With such scruples, the two soldiers did not dare to be too tough on Xu Yan. They said in a soft tone: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, I'm sorry, we are also guarding here on the orders of our superiors...... Please don't embarrass us, okay? Don't embarrass us, okay? We're just doing what we're told. โ€

The two soldiers looked very embarrassed, and Xu Yan snorted. I wouldn't be embarrassed to do anything to them - if the two soldiers didn't know what to do, and scolded themselves. Xu Yan is really not afraid to turn his face and do it. If you really do it, even if the other party is a trained and capable soldier, it is fine. Xu Yan was really not afraid at all, and he was very sure that he would subdue the other party in a few rounds.

But the problem is that the other party is very clear about his position, and puts on such a humble tone, and carefully respects Xu Yan, he is a dignified lieutenant colonel officer, and it would be very difficult to embarrass the two guards - and after all, this is a soldier of our country, not a Japanese policeman. Even if Xu Yan is angry, he can't do anything like he did in Japan.

Xu Yan suppressed the anger in his heart, he looked at each other coldly, and saw that the two little soldiers were furious in their hearts, so he snorted, turned around and brushed his sleeves away, and closed his door with a "bang".

Watching Xu Yan's figure disappear into the room, the two soldiers let out a sigh of relief. They glanced at each other, and they both saw a faint fear in each other's eyes.

"This Lieutenant Colonel Xu, his eyes are really a bit infiltrating!"

"Yes, I've been on a mission to escort death row prisoners before, even if it's those murderers who have been sentenced to death, their eyes are not so scary...... Hey, you said, this Lieutenant Colonel Xu, has he ever killed someone before?"

......"Shhhhhh I don't know if he really has a life in his hands. โ€

"Oh, that's reasonable! This man is not a civil servant of the agency, he has really killed people......"

"Yes, we are unlucky to have such a task, to guard such a person, and we dare not really offend him - wait, we have to be smart!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xu Yan didn't pay attention to the whispers of the two soldiers outsideโ€”he didn't have time to pay attention to this now.

He sat on the sofa where Director Liu was sitting just now, frowning: when he came in in a hurry, Xu Yan didn't pay attention to the furnishings of the room. Now, he has seen that the guest room is an ordinary two-star hotel room, with bright windows and clean beds. But Xu Yan also noticed that this room did not have some of the equipment that an ordinary room should have - there was no TV in this room, and there was no landline telephone for external communication. On the coffee table, there was a stack of blank letterheads, and a few new fountain pens were placed next to them.

Normally, after returning from Japan and making a written report to the Ministry of Intelligence, Xu Yan would not object.

Xu Yan felt that after all, he was an active soldier, and this trip was on behalf of the country, and he spent the country's money, and he alarmed the state to arrange for the embassy to help him get out of danger, and he received a lot of help from the state. If Xu Yan was given an order according to the normal procedure, he would definitely obey. Now maybe they're all starting to write the material.

But the problem is that now a strange deputy director of the political department has come. He even coaxed and deceived himself from the airport to put him under house arrest in a semi-prison place, and then ordered himself to recall Japan's experience and write an explanation -- in this way, of course Xu Yan was unhappy -- Isn't it that this trip to Japan cost tens of thousands of funds from the Intelligence Bureau? This is also allowed by the scriptures, and at that time, they all said on the phone that they should have a good rest in Japan, and that they should not be too scrupulous about spending money -- this is clearly Wen Xiuzhi's original words, and now the other party has reversed himself, what the hell is this!

Xu Yan thought for a while, and the anger in his heart was really difficult to calm - this matter was not explained to Wen Xiuzhi in person. He couldn't swallow it. He flipped out his mobile phone, found Wen Xiuzhi's number, and dialed it, but there was no sound of dialing in the microphone, only the sound of "doodoo" no signal.

Xu Yan was surprised, only then did he see that the screen of his mobile phone showed that there was no signal from the mobile company here - what kind of strange place is this, there is no signal for even mobile communication?

Xu Yan walked to the window. Opening the curtain and looking at it, he noticed that the window was welded with a strong anti-theft net iron bar, and the window was a blue sky. The red sunset at dusk sets on the horizon, and the silhouette of the mountains looms in the distance. Faintly, above the mountains. He seemed to see the outline of a section of the Great Wall, but the outline of the wall seemed rather barren.

Xu Yan stood by the window and watched for a while. But I still can't figure out where I am. Why is it so remote that there is no signal to move? His mind was at a loss.

At this time, there was a knock at the door behind him, Xu Yan went over and opened the door, only to see two strange men knocking on the door - it can be seen from that temperament that they are also soldiers, but they are not the two guards who almost clashed with Xu Yan just now.

Seeing Xu Yan, although the two soldiers were dressed in civilian clothes, they still stood upright, and one of the soldiers said in a deep voice: "Excuse me, Lieutenant Colonel Xu, it's time for dinner, do you need to eat?"

"Dinner?" Xu Yan asked rhetorically, "Can I go down to the hotel's restaurant to eat?"

The two soldiers looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "Report Colonel, that's not the case. We have been notified that if you are hungry and need to eat, please let us know and someone will bring you to your room. โ€

Will it be sent to the room? Hearing the other party say this, Xu Yan suddenly lost interest - vindictiveness is vindictive, but it is very stupid to not be able to afford to live with his stomach.

"In that case, let's bring food to you. โ€

Seeing that Xu Yan agreed to order, the two soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief, and one of the soldiers took out a piece of paper and politely handed it to Xu Yan: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, this is the recipe prepared by the kitchen tonight, what do you want to eat, just look at it." โ€

Xu Yan glanced at the menu and casually ordered a few dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a small stir-fried beef, and fried fishโ€”to be honest, in those days in Japan, Xu Yan's mouth had already faded out of the bird after eating those sushi and tasteless seaweed dishes all day long. Now, back to the motherland, although I have encountered these troublesome things, this does not affect Xu Yan's good appetite - your sister, that Director Liu is also hateful, he just got off the plane and disgusted himself, and he was arrested before he even ate dinner.

The two soldiers carefully wrote down the dishes that Xu Yan wanted to eat, and then they politely said to Xu Yan: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, please go back and wait for a while, the dishes will be served as soon as they are ready." โ€

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, several soldiers in civilian clothes came up with food, set one up for Xu Yan on the table in the guest room, and put the food on the table. Xu Yan was not polite, picked up the bowl and snorted to eat and drink, and ate the whole table of dishes cleanly. Then, he opened the door and said hello, and several soldiers came from the corridor again to help Xu Yan clean up all the dishes he had eaten.

Eat by yourself, others help you clean up, Xu Yan looked a little embarrassed on the side, he wanted to help, but the soldiers were very polite, and they all said: "Lieutenant colonel, you just rest, let us do these jobs." โ€

Xu Yan also said politely: "How embarrassing is this, this is my rice bowl, and I should clean it up myself......"

"It's okay, you're a cadre. In the company, it is appropriate for the soldiers to help the cadres clean up the housekeeping and the dishes and chopsticks, and we have long been used to it. โ€

"Hehehe, that's it!" Since Xu Yan didn't continue to be polite to them, he simply shook his hand and became an uncle, and shrank on the sofa: "Then it's troublesome for you." โ€

The soldiers cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and by the way, the tables in the room were also wiped clean again, and even the floor was mopped, and then, they said hello to Xu Yan very politely, and then went out lightly, and by the way, they helped Xu Yan close the door - under house arrest here to reflect, Xu Yan was originally angry, and wanted to find an opportunity to vent, but seeing that these soldiers were deferential and polite to him, Xu Yan was embarrassed to have a seizure, and sat on the sofa alone and felt stupid.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, Xu Yan slowly came up with an outline of things - today's things are very abnormal.

According to Xu Yan's understanding of Wen Xiuzhi, it is difficult to say how this princeling is, but he is still very atmospheric. Hundreds of thousands of brand-new Audi off-road vehicles, he directly allocated them to Xu Yan without saying a word. This time he came to the capital, Wen Xiuzhi booked himself a high-end foreign-funded hotel - such a bold and atmospheric leader would spend tens of thousands of yuan on such a trivial matter for a business trip to Japan, so he brought Xu Yan to Guan Xiaohei to write materials?

Xu Yan intuitively felt that this was completely impossible. This is not Wen Xiuzhi's style and style - what kind of traveling abroad with girlfriend public funds, in Wen Xiuzhi's eyes, it is not even a fart. For this trivial matter, he has to arrest himself, the savior of Old Man Wen, Wen Xiuzhi can't afford to lose this face!

Thinking clearly that the matter was not from Wen Xiu's hand, Xu Yan suddenly felt very relieved - after losing Zhu Youxiang, Xu Yan's current state of mind is very fragile, and he values his friends very seriously. Wen Xiuzhi can also be regarded as a friend recognized by Xu Yan, and now, after confirming that the matter has nothing to do with him, Xu Yan's mood suddenly improved a lot.

But soon, Xu Yanxin had a second question: If the matter has nothing to do with Wen Xiuzhi, then he knows that someone will embarrass him, why didn't he come forward to stop it?

Xu Yan couldn't figure out this question, but he guessed that there were just a few possibilities - maybe Wen Xiuzhi didn't know that someone was dealing with him, or maybe he was also worried about something, so he couldn't stop or rescue him......

Thinking of this, Xu Yan suddenly woke up: It's not good, the other party is obviously checking himself, but in fact, he is secretly targeting Wen Xiuzhi, so Wen Xiuzhi has to avoid suspicion and rescue himself? (To be continued......)
