Xu Yan drove his subordinates back to the hotel - according to the arrangement of the Jincheng City Government, the residence of the task force was arranged in a hotel near the front gate of Shudu University, which was not very high-grade, but it was clean and close to the school.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Yan announced: Everyone will go back to the room to rest and gather at seven o'clock in the evening!

As if the amnesty was approaching, the subordinates dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest. Xu Yan stopped Huang Xi: "Huang Xi, you stay!"

"Ah, Director Xu, are you okay?"

"Hey, Huang Xi, I'll ask you something, you come with me. Taking Huang Xi to a remote corner of the hotel hall, Xu Yancai asked solemnly: "Huang Xi, the personnel arranged for me by the headquarters this time...... Why do I feel a little weird?"

Hearing Xu Yan's question, Huang Xi's eyes rolled slightly, like a cunning little fox: "Director Xu, I really don't know how to answer if you ask like this—what's weird?"

"Hehe, isn't it weird? Why did you send a lesbian over for such a major case?"

"Lesbian?" Huang Xi showed a sad expression: "Director Xu, are you disliking me, right? Although I am a lesbian, I am very capable, I have been with you for so long, how can you abandon me......

Xu Yan waved his hand angrily: "Go, go, Huang Xi, don't play tricks with me, you know that what I'm talking about is not you-you know who I'm talking about!"

A sly smile appeared on Huang Xi's lips, and she said with a smile: "Director Xu, I really don't know - who are you talking about?"

For this little girl's cunning energy, Xu Yan really can't do anything about her. He hated it so much that he lowered his voice: "Huang Xi." If you play stupid with me like this, I'm going to be annoyed-Tang Min! What the hell is she here for? She came from a literary troupe. I don't know how to investigate and can't fight, what the hell is she here for? By the way, she came to travel at public expense?"

Hearing Xu Yan scolding Tang Min. Huang Xi was smiling and moaning on her face and eyes, and she looked very happy, but her mouth was still duplicitous: "Director Xu, the old man has said that women can hold up half the sky! You look down on female comrades, isn't that okay? Comrade Tang Min was transferred from the Art Troupe, so what? Could it be that the female soldiers of the Art Troupe can't take on important responsibilities? Could it be that Director Xu discriminates against our literary and art workers? Could it be that just because Comrade Tang Min is pretty, Director Xu has any prejudice against her? Do you say...... ”

"Go, go!" Xu Yan interrupted Huang Xi. He said angrily: "Why are you so verbose!" Say, what does the ministry mean by transferring her over, do you know?"

"Nonsense, the intention of the ministry, of course the old lady knows! It's nothing more than that the bureau has watched the old lady for so long and hasn't been able to trick you into getting into bed, so your godfather Wen Xiuzhi guesses that you may not like a young and beautiful girl like Lao Niang, maybe what you like is a charming temptation sister, so send one more type for you to choose! Such a simple thing, what can't you guess? You pretend not to guess. Are you deliberately pretending to be stupid or pretending to be pure in front of your mother? Do you really think that your mother still believes that you are an innocent little virgin?

The above is Huang Xi's psychological complaint, but of course she won't come out. She said innocently: "Director Xu, how could the superior head tell me about this little major because of the intention of arranging personnel? You are both the Director of the Counter-Terrorism Division and the head of the Task Force. You should know our personnel arrangements. Why are you asking me about me?"

was asked by Huang Xi like this, Xu Yan really couldn't answer - yes, whether it is a military rank, a rank, or a position, he is above Huang Xi, why did he come over and ask Huang Xi a question by himself?

Xu Yan was choked speechless, and he said depressedly: "Forget it, then I won't ask you about this-"

Huang Xi immediately turned around: "Oh, Director Xu, I'll go back and rest......"

"Hey, Huang Xi, don't be busy! I have another thing to ask you!"

Huang Xi turned around, and what she presented to Xu Yan was already a bitter gourd face: "I said Director Xu, you just let me go!" I set off urgently from the headquarters in the capital at seven o'clock last night, arrived at the airport at eleven o'clock, and landed in Jincheng at two o'clock in the middle of the night...... And then I kept running around non-stop, and I didn't even put on a hydrating mask...... Director Xu, you must know that staying up late and not resting enough is the enemy of girls' beauty! You treat me like an animal like this, and you boil me into a yellow-faced woman, and I can't get married, will you be responsible for it then?"

Xu Yan was startled, and hurriedly raised his hand to surrender: "The last question! After asking this question, immediately let Huang Xi go back to rest, okay?"

"Say it quickly!"

Xu Yan lowered his voice: "The deputy team leader assigned to me, Zhang Wenbin...... But this man, I've never met, and I've never offended, I don't understand—do you know why?"

Listening to Xu Yan's question, Huang Xi's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked rhetorically: "Director Xu, what about Zhang Wenbin...... Do you really not know, or do you pretend not to know?"

"Of course I don't know – if I do, why should I ask you?"

"Oh......" Huang Xi muttered, her eyes wandered, and then, she said hesitantly, "This matter...... I told you, don't say I said it!"

"Okay, don't worry—say it!"

"Okay, this matter, it's a bit long, I'll just say it briefly - this year, our fourth bureau has a quota for the deputy regiment, and the bureau has already held a bureau meeting, and the decision is for Zhang Wenbin, because Zhang Wenbin has been in the camp for three years, enough years, and has several awards and a third-class meritorious service, everyone thinks that this quota is very suitable for him, and several other cadres at the regular battalion level are not as good as him...... But then, he failed to be promoted. ”

Huang Xi said, while carefully observing Xu Yan, his timid expression was like a little mouse stealing rice and observing a cat. Xu Yan was puzzled when he heard this: "Oh, Zhang Wenbin failed to be promoted? What does this have to do with me? It's not that I didn't let him be promoted? Why does he have an opinion about me?"

Huang Xi whispered: "The reason why Zhang Wenbin failed to be promoted. It's because the place of the Nati deputy regiment was temporarily robbed by someone else-"

Xu Yan: "......"

"The bureau meeting has been held. Later, I don't know what happened. Director Wen suddenly changed his mind and decided to give you this quota and let you be promoted by skipping the rank - from the deputy battalion to the main battalion level and straight to the deputy regiment. Ahem, that's the way it is. ”

Xu Yan: "......"

Then, the bureau plans to set up a special anti-terrorism department, and Zhang Wenbin has great hope of becoming the deputy director, because in the past two years, he has led the team to the most missions. The success rate of the mission is also very high, and I was born and died several times, but I didn't expect it to ......"

Speaking of this, Huang Xi didn't continue to speak, and Xu Yan could guess what she wanted to say: "But I didn't expect that this deputy director position would rob Xu Yan, a newcomer who had never even stepped into the door of the Intelligence Department." ”

Huang Xi timidly observed Xu Yan and whispered, "Director Xu, that." If there are no other problems, can I go back and rest?"

Xu Yan waved his hand unconsciously, Huang Xi was overjoyed, and walked away quickly.

Look at her back. Xu Yan remembered the bitter and mocking smile on Zhang Wenbin's face when he was alone before the banquet, as well as the gloom and loss in his eyes.

Zhang Wenbin is at the peak of his life. It was the time when he was full of spirit and ready to display his talents, but he was blocked by himself for two opportunities to improve.

Right now. Xu Yan finally understood the bitter face of that Zhang Wenbin - if it was himself, he would have been conscientious. Born and died, repeatedly injured and made meritorious contributions, he was usually unanimously favored by his superiors and comrades...... Well, when it came time to really promote, it was the others who were promoted.

You must know that within the Intelligence Department, there are only a few people who have come into contact with Xu Yan, and even fewer people know Xu Yan's magical skills and the key role he played in several crisis incidents. For most people in the fourth game, the name "Xu Yan" is just a symbol on the roster. They didn't know what this young man called "Xu Yan" had done and what his achievements were, they only knew that this young man had been specially recruited a few months ago, and as soon as he came in, he was promoted to the rank of captain, and then in the following three months, Captain Xu was promoted faster than a helicopter, and he was quickly promoted from a company captain to a major at the deputy battalion level, and then quickly promoted from a major at the deputy battalion level to a lieutenant colonel at the deputy regimental level!

Such a magical promotion speed happened to a teenager who had not even stepped into the door of the four rounds and had not even been in a formal class for a day, how could such a thing convince everyone?—— In this way, Zhang Wenbin has opinions about himself, which is simply normal.

After figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, for a while, Xu Yan only felt mixed feelings in his heart - this matter does seem to be a little unfair to Zhang Wenbin, but who is to blame?

Is it his own fault? But he is not an official fan, this deputy regimental level, this position of division chief, he did not beg for anyone, it was Wen Xiuzhi who took the initiative to fight for himself - moreover, Xu Yan felt that his ability and past contributions were worthy of this position.

Could it be Zhang Wenbin's fault?

Xu Yan's train of thought suddenly became clear: Well, that's right, it's Zhang Wenbin's fault! If Major Zhang can uphold the selfless consciousness of a soldier, look at this issue with a correct outlook on life and the world, and think with an attitude of being highly responsible to the country and the people, then he will certainly be able to correctly handle this promotion incident!

In the final analysis, it is because Zhang Wenbin is narrow-minded, attaches too much importance to personal gains and losses, and fails to correctly treat the issue of treatment and rank - is it not possible that if he does not mention the deputy regiment level and cannot be the director, he will not be able to continue to serve the country wholeheartedly?

Could it be that Comrade Zhang Wenbin has forgotten how many martyrs we had during the revolutionary war who shed their blood and sacrificed their heroic sacrifices -- the deeds of these selfless martyrs are still vividly remembered today. Why can't Comrade Zhang Wenbin learn from them and be a noble person, a pure person, a person who does not care about personal gains and losses, and a person who is dedicated to the common good?

Don't......

Xu Yan didn't dare to continue to think about the next train of thought—if he continued to follow this line of thought, he was afraid that he would vomit with nausea. Although from childhood to adulthood, teachers have used this principle to teach Xu Yan, but now. It's his turn to be the leader, Xu Yan found out. I really don't have such a thick skin, and I can say this kind of truth to others seriously, which everyone knows is very hypocritical.

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

Seven o'clock in the evening. Xu Yan came to the hotel where the investigation team was staying on time. When Xu Yan entered the lobby of the hotel, he saw Huang Xi coming out of it in a hurry, she was wearing a light yellow turtleneck sweater, which made her figure more and more slender and handsome. Seeing Xu Yan, she beckoned: "Xu Zhi!"

"Well, Huang Xi, is everyone up?"

"It's all up, everyone is eating in the restaurant. ”

Xu Yan and Huang Xi entered the restaurant together, and he saw that his subordinates were all dressed in civilian clothes, sitting around a booth and chatting. I saw Xu Yan coming over. Everyone got up one after another, Xu Yan waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and greeted politely: "Have you eaten yet?"

Everyone nodded one after another, saying that they had eaten and slept well, and Xu Yan sat down in the booth safely. Huang Xi beckoned the waiter to help Xu Yan call for a cup of coffee, Xu Yan thanked him, and then looked at everyone with blazing eyes: "Since everyone has eaten and slept well, let's talk about work." ”

Xu Yan's voice just fell. Everyone opened their carry-on bags, took out notebooks from them, and spread them out on the table, pens in their hands. With a posture of listening to the leader's instructions, Xu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is our internal discussion, so we don't need to be so solemn - put away the notebook." This is in the restaurant, putting on such a position. It's going to be strange for people around to see it.

That's right, I've made an appointment with the Jincheng City Bureau. The meeting of the cases on both sides is scheduled for eight o'clock tonight, and at the security office of Shudu University, we will meet with the special case team of the Jincheng City Bureau to take over their investigation materials. Well, before contacting the Jincheng Bureau, you can freely express your opinions.

There is no need to have any concerns, we are our own people, this is an internal communication - old history, you are an expert in technical investigation, what are your opinions, you might as well tell us?"

Seeing Xu Yan's gaze, Major Shi Xun nodded and said calmly: "Since Director Xu has named him, then I will talk about my personal opinion on technical investigation, which is not very mature, and I ask comrades to criticize and correct more." ”

Then, Shi Xun opened his notebook, he looked at it a few times, and said calmly: "Director Xu, after reading the case minutes reported by the Jincheng Public Security Bureau, I noticed a detail, at the scene of the murder, the Jincheng Public Security Department checked a liquid of unknown composition, according to them, it was 'very similar to the body fluid secretion of a certain creature', but they could not analyze the composition and source of this secretion. Now, they have sealed the liquid and sent it to the criminal investigation laboratory of the Public Security University for examination.

This detail reminds me of one thing: After Wang Zhongmao was killed, I was also in charge of the scene investigation of the case. In the room where Wang Zhongmao was hiding, in addition to the remains of the victims, we also found a special viscous liquid...... At that time, the liquids were retained and tested, their composition analysed and tested. ”

Xu Yan asked with interest, "Oh, have you come to any conclusion?"

"Director Xu, before I came, I considered that the case of Shudu University may overlap with Wang Zhongmao's case, so before I came, I brought some test reports of Wang Zhongmao's case, please take a look. ”

Shi Xun said, handing over a stack of reports to Xu Yan with great interest.

Xu Yan took the stack of reports, opened them and read them hurriedly, and suddenly felt dizzy: this stack of reports was full of all kinds of zigzag curves and data, as well as various English alphabet codes and some inexplicable pronouns, what "PCR", "RTP", "nucleic acid detection amount", "partial denaturation", "cytometer", "acid denaturation", "cell proliferation cycle"...... The curves are as complex as the drunken masterpieces of an impressionist painter, mixed with letters and numbers, like a twisted mess.

Looking at the thick test report in his hand, Xu Yan's eyelids jumped, and his face was slightly red with embarrassment, he wanted to say these things, it knew Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu didn't know it, but he couldn't say it honestly - he was the leader of the special investigation team, and now, in front of so many subordinates, he admitted that he couldn't read a test report, so where did he put his face as a dignified leader?

In particular, there was also Zhang Wenbin, the opponent, who was not convinced that he was his leader.

Xu Yan peeked at Zhang Wenbin, and then, he nodded quietly, flipped through the report page by page, and there was a sound of "uh-huh" in his mouth, as if he was very attentive and serious about the stack of reports on his hand, and exclaimed: "Not bad, the preparation of Section Chief Shi is very down-to-earth, and the test report is also very serious and comprehensive, it can be seen that you are attentive...... Uh-huh, not bad...... Come on, Huang Xi, take a look at it too!"

Xu Yan handed the report to Huang Xi on his left, with an impatient look, as if he was not handing out a stack of papers, but a piece of red-hot coal.

Huang Xi took the report, turned a few pages, she raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise, and looked at Xu Yan with a slight surprise in her eyes - Xu Yan's face turned red, he avoided Huang Xi's gaze and looked elsewhere.

Huang Xi read it quickly, and read the report quickly after a few pages, and then, she didn't say anything, and handed the report to Zhang Wenbin beside her, Zhang Wenbin opened the report and only glanced at it, and he immediately frowned. However, he didn't say anything, and like Xu Yan, Zou looked at it for a few minutes, turned around and handed the report to Wang Zhiwen beside him...... Then Wang Zhiwen read it and handed it to Gao Feng...... After Gao Feng saw it, he handed it to Niu Yuanshan......

Xu Yan was watching his subordinates do almost the same actions in a serious manner, if it weren't for his own image, Xu Yan would have wanted to laugh out loud: This matter is really too funny!

Xu Yan is not arrogant, but he feels that he can't understand this test report at the level of his key university students, so the special forces in front of him who only know how to climb over the wall and kill people can understand it, then it's called hell!
