As a result, the misunderstanding arose by accident: because he couldn't figure out Xu Yan's intentions, Li Butian decided not to interfere, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for the family - for a "real" level master, even if he can't get a good fate, then don't get a bad fate!

Wen Xiuzhi was in a daze in the car for a while, before slowly shaking his head and walking back, he went back to the box of the hotel, at this time, Xu Yan was still eating, he had just eaten a chicken leg, his cheeks were full of bulging, and when he heard the sound of Wen Xiuzhi entering the door, he raised his head, chewing the chicken leg, and greeted Wen Xiuzhi vaguely: "Huhu, Brother Wen, are you back?"

"I'm back - I just got a call from the chief outside, he wants to know the situation on the scene, and he has been reporting for a long time, so that you have been waiting for a long time. ”

"It's fine, but I'm going to see that the food is getting cold, so you're welcome—you can eat some too!"

Looking at Xu Yan, for a while, Wen Xiuzhi's mind passed through the process of interaction with Xu Yan since they met: he was arrested by the police and beaten by the task force, the jerky performance when he went to Xiangcheng with him to arrest Wang Zhongmao, and the amazing eyes when he saw Zhao Yanran for the first time......

Thinking of the bits and pieces of his relationship with Xu Yan, Wen Xiu smiled bitterly in his heart: No wonder he didn't notice it all along. - Looking at Xu Yan's appearance of eating with a greasy mouth, it is really too far from the mythical immortal who eats in the wind and dew, and is elegant!

How can there be such an immortal in the world!

Seeing Wen Xiuzhi's eyes looking at him was a little strange, Xu Yan thought that he was too embarrassed to eat, and he smiled awkwardly. Quickly put down the chicken legs, pulled the napkin and wiped the greasy on his mouth. Then he asked, "Minister Wen, is Lieutenant Colonel Li gone?" It's kind of interesting. ”

Wen Xiuzhi said with a smile: "Bu Tian, this person looks a little greedy for money, but he still has real skills." In the past, we encountered some bizarre cases -- the case of the ancient tomb zombie, the case of the head descending master who killed people, the case of Miao Gu who killed people, the case of borrowing corpses to return the soul, and the case of destroying the door by evil ghosts...... The local public security couldn't handle it, and they all reported it to us, and these messy evil cases were later dealt with by Xiao Li. ”

Wen Xiuzhi said, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: Now, Li Butian is afraid of Xu Yan and refuses to deal with Huang Dan. The bell must be tied to the bell, and the solution of this matter is only afraid that it will still fall on Xu Yan. It's just that he has already boasted about Haikou before, saying that this matter does not need Xu Yan's action, and that others can do it, but now he has to change his words - how to bypass this bend, this is still a certain degree of difficulty.

If it were someone else, if they wanted to overturn what they had just said, they might be a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the biggest advantage of the bureaucratic system. It is to cultivate a group of fierce people who don't know what their face is, and our general Wen Xiuzhi is undoubtedly the best among them, he didn't mention the words that he had just let Li Butian take over, but said casually: "After eating." Let's go back to the scene - tonight, I guess there will be a lot of things, and you have to be prepared for a tough battle. ”

Xu Yan was stunned. I secretly complained in my heart -- didn't you say that you would invite a master to take on this case? Why did you become yourself again?

Wen Xiuzhi looked at his watch, and then he took the lead in getting up: "It's almost eight o'clock." Let's go, let's go. ”

When Wen Xiuzhi took Xu Yan back to the back campus area of Shudu University. He could barely recognize it as the campus area he was familiar with—the entire wooded area was full of people, full of soldiers, policemen, and construction workers in hard hats, and the whole site was lit up by high-brightness tungsten lights of more than kilowatts, and there were rumbling cranes, hoists, and heavy trucks, and the sound of construction machines was so loud that even two people standing close to each other could not hear each other's voices.

On the perimeter of the construction site, there is a pulled-up cordon guarded by heavily armed police. Outside the blockade, there was already a dense crowd of onlookers, most of whom were students from Shuchuan University.

According to the character of the Chinese people, even if there are two dogs fighting on the street, there will be a large number of onlookers, not to mention such a large scene of military, police, and engineering personnel gathering? Not to mention that it is still in a place like a university? Those male and female students with excessive hormones are just idle, they are gathered outside the blockade line, their eyes are shining eagerly, their mobile phones in their hands are "snapping" and shooting, and the flashes of various lenses are flashing one after another.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Xu Yan was suddenly stunned: Didn't he say that he wanted to keep it secret? Even if the masses gathered spontaneously, it would be difficult for the police to drive them away outside the cordon, but what happened to the few men and women over there who looked like reporters carrying cameras inside the cordon?

Xu Yan was dumbfounded, and he asked in surprise: "Minister Wen, didn't you mean...... Do you want to keep it a secret?"

Wen Xiuzhi nodded his chin slightly in the direction of the camera, and said in a deep voice: "This is our people, this on-site shipment process, we want to shoot a documentary, they are here to shoot a documentary, and they will do data preparation in the future, and they will not be broadcast publicly."

However, in order to get these dozens of tons of strange snake carcasses back to the capital for specimen study, it is necessary to keep them intact, and cranes, heavy trucks, cranes, and a construction team of hundreds of people have been dispatched -- it is estimated that it is impossible to keep it secret. I consulted him, and the chief said that it was good that this matter could be kept secret. Even if you can't keep it a secret, you don't have to force it.

Since this kind of monster has already happened in Japan, if there is an accident in our country, it will not have a too bad impact. Moreover, Yanzi you handled it very well, and did not cause major casualties and property losses, which proves our country's emergency response ability, and the people have a greater sense of security, which is our honor, what are we afraid of announcing? Even if it is announced, it is a good thing!"

Saying that, Wen Xiu looked at Xu Yan with a smile: "However, Jincheng TV did come to an interview team - Yanzi, are you interested in accepting an exclusive interview, have a good time, and by the way, have a close contact with the beautiful host?"

"Ahh Brother Wen, you said it. It can't be true, right?"

Wen Xiuzhi's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Nonsense." Of course it's fake--you want to be on TV? You first withdraw your military status, and then talk about other things! We are engaged in intelligence work, and we are not even allowed to appear in the open media, let alone real people who want to appear on TV! I want to be a beautiful reporter -- Yanzi, you kid really think that we are filming a military drama?"

The two walked around the site for a while, Wen Xiuzhi recruited the person in charge of the construction to inquire about the progress, and when listening to the report, Xu Yan could see that Wen Xiuzhi was obviously absent-minded. The person in charge told them. The on-site command of the incident investigation has been moved to the administrative building of Shudu University.

Xu Yan also came to the administrative building of Shudu University, but he only went to the student office on the fourth floor of the administrative building, and that was to replace the lost student ID. As for the floors above the fourth floor, students are not allowed to go up. In the eyes of the students, the administrative buildings above the fifth floor are shrouded in a veil of mystery.

Now, following behind Wen Xiuzhi, Xu Yan entered the administrative building in a dignified manner, and took the elevator all the way up to the eighteenth floor.

When he and Wen Xiuzhi entered the conference room. I saw that the conference room was quiet, and the officials were quietly scattered all over the room, some were sitting quietly, and some were resting with their eyes closed.

The officials all looked tired. The necklines of their shirts were open, and their eyes were bloodshot, obviously exhausted by the continuous work of a day and a night. I saw Wen Xiuzhi come in. Everyone still perked up and reluctantly sat up straight. Everyone's eyes were focused on Wen Xiuzhi.

Wen Xiuzhi strode in and sat down on the main seat of the conference room. He glanced at everyone. Only then did he ask in a deep voice: "Who is in charge here now?"

There was silence in the conference room for a few seconds, and then a tall, thin middle-aged man with a clear appearance and wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up from the back row of the conference table: "Hello, Minister Wen!" -- Xu Yan recognized him, he was Zhang Chaoyang, deputy secretary general of the Jincheng City Government.

Seeing Zhang Chaoyang, Wen Xiuzhi was a little surprised: "Ah, Secretary General Zhang, are you here? I thought you were in the hospital?"

"Oh, I just got from the hospital. ”

Zhang Chaoyang said politely: "Minister Wen, because Secretary Zhao was injured, according to the arrangement of the municipal party committee, this project is in charge of Vice Mayor Deng, and I will help coordinate it." Because Vice Mayor Deng didn't rest all night last night, he just went to rest, and I and Deputy Director Cao of the Public Security Bureau were taking care of him. If there is any need or arrangement for the Minister of Culture, please let me know. ”

Wen Xiuzhi nodded: "Director Deng has been sticking to the scene since last night, he hasn't slept for a day and a night, he is not young, and it is indeed very hard." Secretary-General Zhang, what is the current situation of the project?"

"According to the original deployment of the command: the loading and unloading of the monster corpse this time is in charge of the 85147 Engineer Brigade. I have just communicated with their brigade commander, and their technicians have made a preliminary estimate that this giant snake monster weighs thirty-one tons and is one hundred and thirty-two meters long. The engineering brigade believes that with their equipment, it is estimated that the giant snake will be completely packed and loaded at three o'clock in the second half of the night. Considering the route between Shudu University and the airport, as well as the load-bearing capacity of the elevated and highway along the way - if it goes well, the monster's corpse should be able to arrive at the airport by six o'clock in the morning tomorrow morning - Minister Wen, this is the case for the time being, do you see, do you have any instructions?"

After listening to Zhang Chaoyang's report, Wen Xiuzhi was silent, he frowned, and did not speak for a long time, obviously it was difficult to make a decision when he encountered a difficult matter. Zhang Chaoyang looked at his face and asked tentatively: "Minister Wen, is it not very smooth to coordinate the matter of heavy transport aircraft with the Air Force?"

Wen Xiuzhi shook his head slowly: "It's not a problem, the air force is still very cooperative, and the heavy transport plane we need has already flown over from the capital, but-" Wen Xiuzhi hesitated and gritted his teeth: "However, the shipment project should be suspended!"

Zhang Chaoyang was surprised: "Pause? Minister Wen, what does this mean?"

As if he had made up his mind, Wen Xiuzhi seemed much more resolute, and he said in a deep voice: "Secretary General Zhang, it's half past eight in the evening. Before 11 p.m., all personnel at the scene, including the military, police, and construction personnel, were evacuated! We only left the perimeter guard to prevent the lively idlers from entering, and no one should be left at the scene. ”

Hearing Wen Xiuzhi say this, everyone was shocked, Zhang Chaoyang said in surprise: "Minister Wen, this kind of heavy loading and unloading is a technical project, very complicated, and now the construction is at a critical time, if the site is stopped and people are withdrawn, then a lot of preliminary work will be exhausted, and the progress will be seriously delayed...... What's going on? Why the sudden shutdown?"

Wen Xiuzhi shook his head silently, he wiped his face tiredly, and said heavily, "I can't explain it now." Secretary-General Zhang, let's do it. ”

"So, how long is the project going to be suspended?"

"It's not certain yet - inform the construction team and wait after the retreat. ”

Zhang Chaoyang's face was slightly gloomy, and he pursed his lips tightly - it could be seen that Wen Xiuzhi inexplicably ordered the suspension of work and the removal of people, without explaining the reason, which made him very unhappy. He said lightly: "Okay, Minister Wen, you are the person in charge of the site, since you have asked for it, then we will implement it - I will go and notify the construction team and let them arrange a suspension." ”

Wen Xiuzhi nodded, he looked at everyone: "Are there any other questions?"

The officials were silent.

Wen Xiuzhi said simply: "Okay, since there is no problem, this meeting will be held here." In an hour, we'll meet here again -- by the way, Deputy Director Cao of the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau, please stay for a while. ”

All the officials scattered and left, only Cao Xunming, the director of the Jincheng Public Security Bureau who was named by name, remained, and he sat down in front of Wen Xiuzhi: "Hello, Minister Wen, do you have any work arrangements?"

Wen Xiuzhi lowered his head and wrote in his notebook for a while, then raised his head to look at Cao Xunming, and said in a deep voice: "Deputy Director Cao, I heard Team Leader Xu say that in the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau, you are in charge of criminal investigation, right?"

"Yes, according to the division of labor of the bureau's party group, I am in charge of criminal investigation. ”

"So, in the previous investigation of a series of murders, the Jincheng City Bureau task force has always been in charge of you?"

Being continuously questioned by Wen Xiuzhi, Cao Xunming moved his body uneasily, he glanced at Xu Yan for help, and wanted to find a clue from Xu Yan's face, but the problem was that Xu Yan himself didn't know what Wen Xiuzhi wanted to do, and he could only help Cao Xunming's help.

Cao Xunming coughed dryly: "At that time, the bureau attached great importance to this case, and Director Deng personally served as the leader of the task force, I was the deputy leader, and the heads of several units such as criminal investigation, public security, technical investigation, and Xinjiang Branch were members of the leading group. It was Director Deng who set the direction, and Comrade Huang Shan, who was in charge of the investigation, so I just did some coordination work in the middle. ”

Because he didn't understand Wen Xiuzhi's intention in asking these questions, Cao Xunming answered very cautiously and low-key, and his heart was worried - it was really Wen Xiuzhi's expressionless face that made people's hearts tremble, although he knew that Wen Xiuzhi had no reason to trouble himself, he still tried to be cautious.
