In the past, Xu Yan didn't understand why the leaders on the screen, they were always frowning, very serious and deep, so that the people below also trembled - the chief gave everyone a smile, and everyone could be happy, wouldn't everyone be happy?

But now, Xu Yan suddenly understood: the shelf of the superior head should be held up, so that at least there will be a lot less trouble.

He said very seriously: "Battalion Commander Zhao, don't ask more about this matter! Have you forgotten our discipline? Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

Xu Yan suddenly straightened his face like this, and Camp Chief Zhao was also taken aback, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, Director Xu, I was rude, I know, I won't talk more!"

"Also, you have to remember that the whole thing tonight is rotten in your stomach, and you can't say a word to the outside world! Otherwise, it will be dealt with according to the law of leaking!"

"Okay, I won't say anything, I won't say a word to the outside world!"

"Well," Xu Yan softened his tone and said, "Battalion Commander Zhao, not only can't you say it, but you also have to tell your subordinates not to say it! This is a state secret, and whoever dares to leak secrets will definitely be investigated to the end by his superiors." If we really find out who leaked the secrets with many tongues, I am afraid that it is not a single person who can solve the problem by ordering them to leave the army -- as the commander in chief of the troops, Battalion Commander Zhao, you must manage your subordinates well, and if they leak secrets, you will also be held responsible!"

Seeing Camp Commander Zhao's nervous expression, Xu Yan slowed down his voice and became a little kinder: "Camp Commander Zhao, for such a major confidential incident, the superiors arranged for you to lead the team to carry it out, that is a trust in you! That directly alarmed the central authorities, and tomorrow the head of the capital will come over in person! This task has been well accomplished. Naturally, the higher-level leaders will see it in their eyes -- you must take advantage of this opportunity!"

I've been messing with those big officials for a long time. Playing the role of a superior leader, Xu Yan felt that he also had some experience, and his words looked decent, and he had the taste of a big chief.

Seeing this giant snake like a small mountain with his own eyes, Battalion Commander Zhao was already greatly shocked and shocked - people are prone to be in awe of their unknown territory. Thinking that the young man in front of him was the director of the Intelligence Department, and that he specialized in dealing with this kind of special affairs, at this time, Battalion Commander Zhao naturally remembered those magical legends, and terms such as "Dragon Group" and "Group A" began to appear in his mind. This Director Xu is the legendary member of the Chinese Dragon Group?

Now, Battalion Commander Zhao was frightened by this unknown director of the capital, and he said in a respectful whisper: "Yes, Director Xu, I understand! I have never performed such a task before, what is there that I have not done well, please give me more advice-then, Director Xu, this monster's companion." Where is it now, and if this monster is to appear, what are we going to do?"

Seeing that Camp Commander Zhao was respectful to him, Xu Yan couldn't help but be secretly complacent, and he snorted: "Who knows?

Battalion Commander Zhao. You don't have to worry too much, there are other monsters, that's just speculation. It doesn't have to be that monster will attack us. So, your task is still very easy. It is to arrange a blockade to prevent irrelevant idlers from coming in to interfere or snoop. Don't let the messy reporters come in and take pictures - the chief and the relevant experts will arrive at noon, just protect the scene before they arrive. ”

Xu Yan told Battalion Commander Zhao not to worry too much, but the latter looked obviously not very relieved - he looked at Xu Yan, then looked back at the corpse of the giant snake, and stopped talking.

Obviously, Battalion Commander Zhao had doubts: If it was just such a simple task as helping the policemen guard the monster corpses together, then why bother so much and bring heavy weapons? Just to maintain order, it was enough for the soldiers to bring a baton each, where did they need to be so loaded with guns and ammunition and fully armed? This is clearly a posture of going to a big battle!

It's just that he was scared by Xu Yan before, and Battalion Commander Zhao didn't dare to continue to ask questions, so he could only accept the order with a bitter face: "Yes, Director Xu, then, let's start to deploy defenses?" - Xu Yan noticed that after knowing that there might be monsters coming back to attack, Battalion Commander Zhao seemed quite nervous, and he obviously had a sense of crisis, and turned his head from time to time to look left and right, as if he was afraid that a huge giant snake would suddenly burst out of the darkness there and swallow himself in one gulp.

"We have to coordinate with the local public security in the matter of arming. Let's hear from them first. ”

Xu Yan took Battalion Chief Zhao with him, found Deng Bonan and Deputy Director Cao Xunming of the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau, introduced Battalion Chief Zhao to them, and then everyone discussed how to arrange the blockade circle.

As a result of the discussions between the two sides, the troops were responsible for the deployment of the inner ring, and the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau was responsible for the periphery. Because this is the campus of Shudu University, Deputy Director Cao took the initiative to propose that he would coordinate with Shudu University and ask the university's security office to mobilize, and he could also draw out more than 100 security officers and security guards, and they would arrange another layer of blockade outside - because the case happened on the campus of Shudu University, most of the onlookers who came to watch should also be teachers and students on campus, and it should be appropriate for the school security office to deal with them. In this way, with the protection of the three-layer blockade, it should be said that there is basically no problem to deal with the generally curious onlookers.

"What if some students don't listen to the dispatch and command, and insist on breaking in or insisting on getting in?" Battalion Commander Zhao asked stiffly, "Can we shoot?"

Xu Yan shook his head: "It's too reckless to shoot." My opinion is that if someone forcibly passes through the first and second layers of blockade and forcibly breaks into the third layer, in this case, we can forcibly subdue him, search his body, confiscate his mobile phone and all electronic products that can be photographed, and then the public security department will dispose of it, and the public security bureau will properly examine the purpose and intention of this guy. Unless there are too many people pouring in at that time, which may lead to chaos, then you can consider firing a warning shot -- Director Deng, Deputy Director Cao, what do you think?"

Cao Xunming nodded again and again: "Okay, I think Director Xu is quite good at handling it like this, it is steady and proper." ”

Thereupon. The matter was settled like this-Xu Yan noticed, while everyone was discussing things. Director Deng Bonan has always been absent-minded, and everyone says that he is "good, good." Oh oh oh", his eyes were blank and unfocused, obviously there was something on his mind. As for what Director Deng was thinking about, Xu Yan probably guessed it, it was nothing more than those grievances with Secretary Zhao, Xu Yan couldn't interfere in these things, he simply pretended to be confused and didn't know.

After the discussion, the troops began to move in. Heavily armed soldiers in steel helmets jumped out of their cars and trotted in with jet-black Type 95 rifles on their backs, their boots stomping on the ground with a rhythmic roar.

Seeing such a scene, the officials and policemen present were amazed: In peacetime, it is rare for everyone to see such a scene of a large group of soldiers going out in full gear. Then, as the soldiers set up positions on the edge of the woods with rocket launchers and anti-aircraft machine guns on their shoulders, the exclamation of everyone present had turned to panic: they felt an ominous sense of tension at the sight of the soldiers' murderous posture and the tense atmosphere of the enemy.

"What's the matter, the troops are bringing so many weapons?"

"Not only rifles, but even rocket launchers and machine guns were brought -- this posture. Is it going to be a war?"

"Who the hell are they guarding against? Is there any danger here?"

There is a more clever policeman, who found the officer who led the team and handed a cigarette to the past: "Hey, I said this brother." What are you doing with such heavy armament? Could it be that so many of our troops and police are here? Who else would dare to make trouble?"

Because the other party is a cooperative companion, the officer did not coldly refuse people thousands of miles away. But the problem is, he doesn't know why. And how can you answer that?

"Hey, this brother of the public security, you ask me, I still want to ask you! We are also acting on orders, and the higher authorities have told us to load our guns and bullets, and let us enter a state of imminent battle!

This brother, we don't know the inside story, your public security bureau came early, you should always know, right? Reveal a little bit to us in private, and we promise not to tell the outside world, okay?"

Seeing that there were many discussions on the scene, the atmosphere was tense, and the people were panicked, and the leaders in the town couldn't hold back. Secretary Zhao came over in person, found Xu Yan, and asked, "Director Xu, what are you doing here?"

Xu Yan pretended to be stupid: "Ah, Secretary Zhao, what are you talking about?"

"Director Xu, you have to arrange for the troops to be stationed for defense, this is the decision of your troops, and we can't interfere. But can you make the movement a little smaller? With such a loaded gun, even rocket launchers and machine guns have been brought out, this is too exaggerated, isn't it? With so many guns, if one or two of them go off and kill people, who will be responsible for the casualties?

If the army breaks into the school with heavy guns and ammunition, if someone takes a picture and attracts the attention of the news media and makes a big news, Director Xu, how can you explain and explain to your superiors?"

Secretary Zhao is aggressive, and Xu Yan is unhappy with the boss in his heart - Lao Tzu is now empty, and it is the most vulnerable time, if the escaped monster comes back to seek revenge, without these machine guns to escort here, Lao Tzu really doesn't dare to continue to stay. As for how to account for what society -- what is this compared to life! Who has time to think about all that?

"Secretary Zhao, we are doing this just to be prepared. Because we have to deal with an unprecedented event, and we have encountered an enemy that has never been encountered before, we have to take into account all kinds of contingencies and contingencies, and let the troops bring weapons, which is also to be prepared, and there is no other meaning. ”

"Emergencies and accidents?" Secretary Zhao tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he said disdainfully: "With so many military and police officers here, what other emergencies and accidents can there be?" Could it be that the dead snake can still be resurrected and bite people?"

Xu Yan was silent and didn't say a word.

Seeing that Xu Yan was silent, Secretary Zhao also slowed down his voice, and he said in a deep voice: "Director Xu, while it is still dawn, you immediately give an order to disarm the troops and put all the guns back in the car!

He was no longer silent, and the other party was still so unrelenting, Xu Yan was suddenly annoyed. He raised his head and looked at Secretary Zhao: "Secretary Zhao." I remember that the Central Committee came down to be the head of the investigation team in charge of this case. It seems that the investigation and handling of this case is in charge of our intelligence department, right? The local government of Jincheng is responsible for 'assisting' our investigation team, right?"

Secretary Zhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, his face turned red - Xu Yan is the leader of the investigation team, and indeed, according to the organizational procedures, the entire case should be dispatched and commanded by Xu Yan.

But the problem is, in the past. For the follow-up disposal of the case, Xu Yan has always been indifferent, since Xu Yan doesn't care, Secretary Zhao is also used to commanding, he naturally unceremoniously made up for the vacuum of the command center, took over the on-site command, and gave orders to the departments present.

But the problem is that Secretary Zhao was also so busy that he actually ran to Xu Yan and gave orders to him. was drunk by Xu Yan like this, and he came to his senses: Yes, although this Director Xu is lower in rank than himself, he is also very young. But procedurally speaking, he is the real person in charge of the investigation team! How did he order him?

Xu Yan grabbed this and turned his face with himself, he was really at a loss.

Secretary Zhao knew that he was at a loss. But he couldn't stand being scolded by a little hairy child of his own son's generation in this way. He said with a dark face: "Director Xu, you are the person in charge of the case. That's right, I'm just starting from the big picture, giving you a reasonable suggestion, brainstorming, it's always right, right?

When the time comes, when the matter is over, your investigation team will pat the ass and leave, and we will always have to be responsible for dealing with the mess of the public and the media afterwards. It's all about work, can't we discuss it properly?"

Although Secretary Zhao was still hard-mouthed, his tone had already softened significantly, just to find face for himself to step down, Xu Yan could naturally hear it, and he waved his hand: "Okay, Secretary Zhao, you can make your suggestion, but our investigation team also has our considerations -- for security reasons, the troops must be armed with guns! This is the decision of the investigation team!"

Secretary Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly: he is an extremely smart person, good at recognizing people - this is not unusual, officials are the best at pondering people, without this ability, he will not be able to reach a high position.

In the previous contact, Secretary Zhao thought that he had a clear understanding of Xu Yan's personality - this young man was easy-going, mild-tempered, not stubborn, and did not like to seize power, but why did he insist that the soldiers must carry guns?

Secretary Zhao looked at Xu Yan silently for a while, and he suddenly asked, "Director Xu, is there anything else that you haven't explained?" Are there other dangers, are you hiding it from us?"

Xu Yan lowered his eyes and was silent - Wen Xiuzhi was right, no one who can be a high-level official is stupid. I didn't want to tell the news that there was another monster, so as not to cause panic, but Secretary Zhao found something unusual from his own arrangement, and quickly guessed the reason.

Seeing that Xu Yan was silent, Secretary Zhao's eyes lit up, he took a step closer and asked: "Director Xu, this is related to the safety of the 20 million people in Jincheng, you must not hide it! You tell me honestly, apart from this dead monster, is there anyone alive?"

Xu Yan didn't want to say it, but he couldn't deny the current situation: "Secretary Zhao, I doubt that this giant snake monster that was killed, it didn't commit the crime alone, and it is very likely that it still has companions." Its companions, most likely, have gone into hiding. ”

Secretary Zhao gasped, and he suddenly shouted: "Director Xu, why didn't you tell us about such a big matter earlier......!

Xu Yan coldly interrupted him: "What did you say earlier, Secretary Zhao, what are you going to do? Are you going to send the police officers of the Jincheng City Bureau to arrest the absconding monster? Or, Secretary Zhao, are you planning to go into battle in person and fight that monster?"

Secretary Zhao was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, but he couldn't speak-In his early years, Secretary Zhao also spent time in the army, and he was not the kind of novice who had no military common sense. He had been to the scene himself, had seen the corpse of the monster, and had seen the skin and scale armor of the strange snake -- just with the 64-style police gun equipped by the police, hitting the snake skin was like tickling the other party.

"Now, Secretary Zhao, do you still ask me to order the troops to remove their guns?"

Secretary Zhao subconsciously replied: "Then how can we do it? The monster is still around, how can we abandon the gun? This is absolutely not okay!" -- Secretary Zhao didn't know that it was easy for him to be ridiculed for going back on his word like this, but the problem was that knowing that there might be another giant snake snooping around and staring at them, Secretary Zhao suddenly became like that Camp Commander Zhao, and felt that he had lost his sense of security all over his body. When it comes to life safety, such a small problem on the face, what is it!

Then, Secretary Zhao immediately thought of a very important question: "Director Xu, if there is a second monster, Director Xu, how are you going to deal with it? How do you destroy it, and what do you need us to do to assist you?"

Xu Yan looked at the ground silently and said nothing.

Secretary Zhao asked again, and Xu Yan replied faintly: "This matter - Secretary Zhao, the task of our investigation team is to find out the truth about the series of murders in Shudu University. For now, the situation of the case has basically been cleared, our task is almost completed, and according to the work arrangement, we will go back to the capital. The next tracing and aftermath work, please recruit the secretary ~~" (To be continued.) )
