Looking at the unknown number on his phone, Xu Yan pressed the answer button: "Hey, hello!"

A very rough and loud man's voice came from the phone: "Hello, is it Director Xu?"

"I'm Xu Yan. Who are you?"

"Hello, Director Xu! I am from the police battalion directly under the Jincheng Garrison District, and I am the battalion commander Zhao Quanyang!"

Battalion Commander Zhao Quanyang hesitated for a moment and asked: "Director Xu, listen to your voice, you are very young! Well, I won't call the wrong number, right? Are you really Director Xu Yan of the Intelligence Department himself, or his assistant or secretary? This, little comrade, we are carrying out military orders, don't be joking!"

Xu Yan knew that because his voice was too young, he knew that he was a teenager when he heard it, so that the other party became suspicious, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Hello, Battalion Commander Zhao, I am indeed Xu Yan -- Xu Yan of the Special Anti-Terrorism Division of the Ministry of Intelligence! My voice seems relatively young, but it is indeed me -- do you want me to report the military ID number to you?"

Battalion Commander Zhao laughed heartily: "Hehe, then there is no need, Director Xu, you are a superior leader from the central government, how dare we look at your documents." Since the boss gave us this phone number, let's call, just be able to match the person! Director Xu, I'm sorry, we haven't met, the stakes are very high, let's ask a few more words, don't be surprised!"

"Where, Battalion Commander Zhao is cautious, this is how it should be. ”

The two greeted each other, and Camp Commander Zhao got to the point: "That's the case, Director Xu, we just received an order from the head of the garrison area. Ask our battalion to immediately go to Shudu University in the city to maintain order, and at the same time let us contact you. If there is something you don't understand, you can ask for advice. At your command - that's right, right? You've got orders, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Battalion Commander Zhao, I'm already at the scene, since you have received the order, then hurry up. ”

Battalion Commander Zhao responded: "Okay, we just received the order, and the troops are already gathering, there is something." We weren't sure: we were only asked to come over for an important security mission, but we couldn't say exactly what we were doing. Therefore, we can only ask Director Xu: Do we need to bring equipment for this mission, do we need to bring guns and live ammunition?"

Xu Yan groaned slightly, and asked, "What kind of heavy equipment can be brought with you in the camp immediately?"

Hearing Xu Yan's questioning, Battalion Commander Zhao was slightly startled in his heart -- what he asked Xu Yan was just asking if he needed to bring a live ammunition firearm -- in fact, Battalion Commander Zhao himself felt that he was carrying out a vigilance mission in the urban area. Bringing a gun was simply superfluous, but out of caution, he made a phone call to ask Xu Yan for instructions, but he didn't expect this Director Xu to ask him instead. How much heavy equipment was there in the battalion?

What's going on? On the campus of Shudu University, how could it be so exaggerated as the need to use heavy weapons? Could it be that there are large-scale terrorists to sabotage it? But these days, the city is calm. I've never heard of any of this, and even if there were large-scale terrorist activities. It should be the people's police or armed police in Jincheng who were dispatched to quell the riots, so how could they directly mobilize the troops in the garrison area?

"Director Xu. We are a battalion directly under the garrison, so the establishment is larger than the average infantry battalion. In addition to light weapons, we have an anti-tank platoon and a fire platoon armed with anti-tank rocket launchers, grenade launchers and 12.7 anti-aircraft machine guns - the rest, conventional automatic rifles. ”

Battalion Commander Zhao said, he laughed first, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Director Xu, we are the gatekeepers of the military region, so naturally we are not as well-equipped as the field troops, and this is how the heavy weapons are belonged.

In the middle of the night, if we want to open the armory, it will be very troublesome, and we have no power, and we have to ask the head of the garrison area, which is very troublesome...... It will probably be delayed for a long time. Besides, taking this kind of guy into college, isn't it very relevant?"

Xu Yan didn't laugh, he groaned for a while, and still felt that things should be cautious - although he killed a ground worm, Zhu Youxiang didn't say whether this monster lived alone or in groups, God knows if there was a second earth worm lurking? Asking Battalion Commander Zhao to bring heavy weapons, if they can't use it, at most it will be a lot of hard work for them to carry it, but now, he already knows that there is a second monster, if there is really such a thing as a monster retaliating and attacking people, his combat effectiveness has not recovered, and he has no heavy weapons in his hands, so he is afraid that he will not be able to cope with it with rifles and pistols alone.

It's better to do useless work, but you can't miss a big thing because of saving trouble!

Therefore, although Xu Yan obviously heard that Battalion Chief Zhao meant that it was troublesome, he still insisted on his opinion: "Battalion Commander Zhao, my opinion, you should be prepared, bring it! If you are afraid of bad impact, you can consider leaving those guys in the car and not moving out." ”

Battalion Commander Zhao pondered, and he said very seriously: "Director Xu, I understand. The orders given to us by our superiors are at your disposal, and since you have asked us to bring heavy weapons, we will naturally obey them, except that we must register the opening of the gun depot and the handover of the firearms, and these things may be a little more troublesome, and may have to be delayed for a while--uh, it may be delayed for another hour. Otherwise, I'll arrange for the reconnaissance platoon and three companies to go over first, and the heavy weapons will arrive one step later, is that okay?"

"Okay, let's arrange it like this! Come over as soon as possible! I'll be waiting for you at Shudu University!"

"Alright, then I'll go with the infantry company first, and the anti-tank platoon and the fire platoon will be one step later. Battalion Commander Zhao hesitated for a moment, and then he asked, "Director Xu, seriously, your arrangement really scared me a little bit." What are we going to do on this trip? Do we need to bring anti-aircraft machine guns to the task of maintaining order? This ...... Is it going to be a war? Is it dangerous? Don't you say it, I really don't know the bottom of my heart!"

Xu Yan couldn't cry or laugh: "Battalion Chief Zhao, it's inconvenient to talk about this matter on the phone." You'll see it when you come here - it's just a precaution, and it's very unlikely that you can actually use these guys. ”

"Director Xu. If you say that, I'll be much more relieved! We'll be there in about an hour! Let's meet and talk in detail then!"

Xu Yan hung up the phone. At this time, he found that Huang Shan had been looking at himself a few steps away from him - that distance was just right, he could see himself, and no one would suspect that he was eavesdropping on his phone, and when he saw Xu Yan hanging up the phone, Huang Shan walked over to him.

In the night, Xu Yan's eyesight was very good because of his cultivation, and he could see it very clearly. Huang Shan's expression looked a little tired and worried, which made Xu Yan feel very surprised: when he first broke up with Huang Shan, Huang Shan still looked very elated because of solving the case, why did he separate for a while, and he seemed so depressed?

"Brother Huang, what's wrong?" Xu Yan is used to dealing with Huang Shan, so everyone doesn't have to be polite, he asked bluntly: "I see your complexion." It doesn't seem very good, isn't it too tired?"

Huang Shan shook his head: "We are criminal policemen, but we are not tired of staying up late, that is, ...... Tired! Brother, I want to ask you something. ”

Xu Yan was very refreshing: "Brother Huang, what's the matter." That's it!"

Huang Shan saw that there was no one on the left and right, and he lowered his voice: "I'll inquire with you." Just now, let's recruit the secretary to take you to the side. What did you say? Can you tell me about it?"

Xu Yan smiled dumbly: "It turns out that this is just a trivial matter."

I thought about it, oh, Secretary Zhao first said that he was very satisfied with the work of our investigation team, appreciated it, and praised us, and then he asked me where this monster was hiding, and whether it was hidden on the campus of Shudu University? I said yes, so Secretary Zhao was a little unhappy, saying that such a big monster was hiding on the campus of Shudu University, and the city bureau had dispatched so many people to search for it, why couldn't it be found? He said, the key is that their ability and attitude are not good! He also said that it is necessary to properly rectify the public security contingent in Jincheng and so on. Brother Huang, I remember, these are probably the words. ”

Huang Shan listened to Xu Yan's speech, his expression was a little sluggish. After Xu Yan finished speaking, he was still looking at Xu Yan blankly, and he didn't speak for a long time, as if he couldn't accept this fact.

"Hey, Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Yan shouted twice, Huang Shan came back to his senses, he shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "No way! I thought that I had a brother to help me, this time I was able to pass the test, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape!"

"Brother Huang, what did you say?"

Huang Shan frowned bitterly: "Brother, this is to blame you, blame you for being too capable! Just one day after you came, you simply found this monster neatly and got rid of it! You are so capable, it shows that our Jincheng public security is too incompetent, and it has wasted more than a month without finding clues, and many people have died in vain, of course Secretary Zhao has a reason to be angry--you say, if you find this monster a few days later, there is such a buffer process, wouldn't it be better?"

What kind of nonsense is this! Is it wrong to solve the case too quickly?

Xu Yan was confused when he heard it: "Brother Huang, didn't you urge me to solve the case at that time?"

Huang Shan smiled bitterly, but the smile was more ugly than crying: "Yes, it was indeed me who urged you at that time, please hurry up and solve the case -- but how could I have thought that you could actually get to this point, and in the blink of an eye, you will find the murderer and take it down! This, this, this is too unacceptable! Alas, I knew that you were so powerful, and I wouldn't urge you. ”

For a while, Xu Yan and Huangshan looked at each other - at this time, Xu Yan also figured it out: it was not a good thing for them to kill the murderer so neatly. Because Xu Yan is too capable and his achievements are too outstanding, in contrast, it highlights the incompetence of the Jincheng police, which gives Secretary Zhao a reason to rectify the Jincheng police:" The Jincheng Public Security Bureau sent hundreds of people to take root in Shudu University for more than a month, but they could only watch the murderer continue to commit crimes, mutilating many teachers and students, and even killing several of our police officers, but you found nothing; and the comrades of the central investigation team came down and found out the murderer and got rid of it in one day and one night.

This reason for recruiting secretary is not without arguability, but the question is, who can compete with him? Just now, Secretary Zhao's aura and strength, Xu Yan has also seen, and Deng Bonan, the dignified director of the public security bureau who is at the same level as him, is like a chicken in front of an eagle in front of Secretary Zhao, and he doesn't even dare to say it out loud.

Xu Yan asked tentatively, "Brother Huang." I see, your recruiter. Seems to be very strong...... In front of him, Director Deng seemed to be very low-key! It doesn't seem normal, right? Director Deng is also the deputy mayor, so everyone is almost at the same level, right?"

Huang Shan looked at the lights of the woods in the distance in a daze, and after listening to Xu Yan's question, he replied absentmindedly and casually: "Brother, you don't know, we have a big background in recruiting secretaries, he is from the capital, and he is ready to take over the class of Secretary Huang of our municipal party committee." In the middle of this year, after the general meeting. When the time comes, nine times out of ten, the secretary will be recruited to take over as the leader of our Jincheng, and our Director Deng will see that he is about to retire from the second line, how dare he say anything to him?"

"Oh! I see!" Xu Yan let out an "oh" sound, and he asked in a low voice, "Why do I look at it, Secretary Zhao seems to have a lot of opinions about your Public Security Bureau?"

Huang Shan seemed to have completely opened up, and spoke without hindrance: "If you have an opinion, you are sure...... Three years ago, Secretary Zhao had just been parachuted down from the Beijing Ministries and Commissions, and he was the executive deputy director of our Jincheng Bureau. At that time, Director Deng was the leader of the Municipal Bureau, and he was also an old qualification of the Jincheng Municipal Bureau. Naturally, it's not very that, but it's a little bit of that between the two...... Naturally, I was the one who was brought up by Director Deng. I'm sure I'll have to be on Director Deng's side, right? It's a bit of a holiday in private.

Alas, this is all a grudge from a few years ago. At that time, who would have thought that a deputy director of a city bureau would suddenly become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in just a few years, and instead become the boss of our Director Deng. It is estimated that at that time, our Director Deng could not have imagined that the recruitment of secretaries would be so big and so fast, and it is estimated that Director Deng regretted that his intestines were blue. Anyway, everyone's beam is knotted, and people have been quiet for the past few years, and now that they have seized the opportunity, they must work hard to get it.

Director Deng is a provincial cadre, and he is almost second-tier in age, so Secretary Zhao may not spend much effort to get him, but our middle-level people who have followed Director Deng are probably going to be unlucky! People can't get Director Deng, but it's very easy to get us. ”

Saying that, Huang Shan also smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, I am too stupid, I thought that if the case was solved, I would be able to escape this catastrophe and keep my position." I am really stupid to have such an idea -- people have long wanted to clean me up, and it is best to have a reason, but there is no reason, can't people make up a reason? Pity that I have been in the officialdom for so many years, and I don't understand this reason, and I have struggled for so long in vain, which is a joke for you, brother, alas!"

Seeing Huang Shan's dejected appearance, Xu Yan didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only look at him silently.

Fortunately, Huangshan's loss did not last long, after saying a few words, he seemed much more relaxed, his body straightened up, and even a smile appeared on his face: "It's okay! Without this thought, put aside these things, I will be relaxed, and I don't have to worry so much about gains and losses." Brother, don't worry about the crazy things that my brother said. In any case, you risked your life to kill this monster and avenge my brothers, which can be regarded as helping my brother finish a heartfelt matter!

As he spoke, Huang Shan stepped forward and shook Xu Yan's hands hard, his hands were very strong, he looked directly into Xu Yan's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Brother Yan! Not only I thank you, but the 20 million fathers and elders of Jincheng are grateful to you, without you getting rid of this monster, I don't know how many people will die at its hands! This matter is immeasurably meritorious! Not as the head of the criminal police detachment of the Jincheng Public Security Bureau, now I, as an ordinary citizen of Jincheng, sincerely thank you!"

Huang Shan said sincerely, his hand was so strong, for a while, Xu Yan also felt a little emotion in his heart, he also held Huang Shan's hand, and said sincerely: "Brother Huang, it should be me who is thankful! Without your assistance and the information you collected in the early stage, we alone would not have been able to accomplish this task." Brother Huang, there is also your share of this credit, and I believe that the people of Jincheng will also remember your hard work and contributions!"

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Huang Shan showed a wry smile on his face, he shook his head, didn't say anything, turned around on his own, and staggered away, the lonely figure slowly blended into the vast night.

Looking at Huangshan, Xu Yan secretly sighed.

He knew that Huang Shan was definitely not a good person. Although Xu Yan was very affectionate with him as a brother and brother, in his heart, he always hid a little vigilance against him -- this guy was ruthless, and last time in order to swallow the drug dealers' drug money, he and his subordinates assassinated several drug dealers to kill him, and even had the intention of killing himself; he was full of power, and although he tried his best in the series of murders at Shudu University, the purpose was not to seek justice for the murderer, but to keep his official position -- in any respect, he was not a good person.

But for some reason, seeing the moment when Huang Shan's back left alone, Xu Yan suddenly felt a soft place in his heart, and he had a strange idea: Huang Shan may not be a good person, but ...... Is he supposed to be a good cop?(To be continued.) )
