When Ai Ting returned to her office, she looked at the time again.

At five o'clock, there was still half an hour before the key case report.

She turned on the computer, called up the case file and materials, and refamiliarized herself with it, so as not to make any mistakes during the report.

Although no one is more familiar with these things than her, once a big guy wants to ask a certain question on a whim, if she can't answer it, it will be embarrassing.

There were also people from the "higher" level who came to listen to the report.

Above the Municipal Criminal Investigation Bureau is the State Criminal Investigation Division, commonly known as the Criminal Division. However, Wutong City is a city directly under Qingmangguo, at the same level as the state, and there is no criminal department on it, and further up is the National Criminal Investigation Department, commonly known as the Criminal Department.

Let me say, the discovery of this supernatural crime is definitely a historic breakthrough!

Although she is cold on the surface, Ai Ting is still proud in her heart.

escaped from Meng Fei's death, and the replicant searched for the file, and then died unexpectedly, and the body disappeared inexplicably, to the cloud-deep rooftop......

She revisited every detail of the incident over and over again.

Meng Fei was obviously hit to the brink of death by the replica version of Meng Fei, why was he resurrected intact again?

It's not easy to justify himself when he can't explicitly say that he has the ability to heal at any time.

But she has a perfect set of logic ready. All that's left is to think about what thorns the high-level bigwigs might pick out.

"Toot ......"

Just as she sat down for ten minutes, before she could finish reviewing the case file, her "goddess" rang out.

"Goddess" is a set of software that is installed on computers and mobile phones, somewhat similar to WeChat. In addition to communication, a variety of functions are encompassing.

It's just that WeChat is owned by everyone, and most of the time it is to deal with private matters.

The Goddess system is used for office and communication within the system, and can only be used by state employees.

She opened her phone and clicked on it to see that it was a message from her boss, Director Zheng.

"Let's go down to Room 8. ”

This conference room happened to be booked by her for the case report, so it would be good to go and prepare it in advance. Sure enough, the director of the bureau also takes this matter very seriously.

But when she arrived at the conference room, she found that the situation was still a bit unexpected.

In addition to the director, there was an old man in the meeting room.

A very old man. The face is full of ravines, the beard is gray, and the top of the head is oily, Mediterranean, bare.

But around his head, the artist's white hair, curled up like the waves of the sea, was draped behind his head and down to the round neck of the strange brown robe he wore.

He wears a silver necklace on his chest, and at the end of the necklace hangs a striking silver crescent insignia.

Round-necked brown robe, silver crescent, isn't this the dress of the priest of the goddess who sold "divine essence water" everywhere in the Middle Ages?

In the time of the kingdom of God a long time ago, this dress was very decent, and the status of the priests was even more noble than that of the officials who governed the kingdom of God.

But now it's different.

Devout devotees still exist and will worship the goddess in their homes. But the organized groups of believers, the professional clergy, have long since ceased to exist.

This outfit is either a third-rate supporting character running out of the set, or a professional liar who collects IQ taxes for old ladies.

Although he was old, this man was in good spirits, as if his smoky eyes were full of wisdom, and he closed deeply from time to time.

But he always tries to open it when people are not paying attention to it and glance at it a few times, which looks extremely obscene, which makes Ai Ting very uncomfortable.

With her many years of experience in criminal investigation, she is a real liar.

The first thing she wanted to greet was: Do you want the state to help you provide for the elderly?

But she restrained herself. She can't just use her professional eyes to speculate on others.

"Who is this old gentleman?"

Before she could finish her words, Director Zheng had already stood up, bowed respectfully to the old man, and then said, "This is President Li." ”

Then he actually went backwards, and when he arrived at the door, he nodded a few times with a smile, and said, "You talk, you talk, I won't bother." ”

Then he went out and closed the door.

Being alone with this old man made her feel even more embarrassed. But as soon as she turned around, she felt a little silver light spin in the air and fly over.

She grabbed it, it was a silver shiny business card with a circle of diamonds on it, and it was extremely earthy (heroic).

"President of the Goddess Belief Culture Research Association, Li Mu. ”

"President Lai?"

Anyone with the name of "Research Society" is an organization that sounds like a pheasant to the extreme.

The man's eyes narrowed into triangles, and the wrinkles on his face were layered like sliced onions, and he smiled skillfully:

"Just call me Lao Li. ”

"Yes, President Lai. ”

"You're good. ”

Triangular eyes looked her up and down several times.

"Congratulations, with this agreement, you are my direct subordinate. ”

The old man took out a scroll of paper and placed it in front of her.

"I'm sorry, I refuse. ”

Ai Ting was speechless, what the hell is the agreement, why should I sign it?

I am the leader of the criminal investigation squadron, what cultural research association did I sign up for?

Wait, what is this? Twelfth level officer? Sign me and I'm a twelfth level official?

She thought she was wrong.

Level 12 - known as the number one giant in the officialdom of the Qingmang Republic.

If you mix the system, even if you have a prosperous official fortune, mixing to level 11 is basically the end.

The twelfth level is the so-called deputy ministerial level, and when you enter the twelfth level, you are a state and ministerial official. This H county and city level are really worlds apart.

She had a smooth journey, dominated the Criminal Investigation Bureau, solved countless major cases, and now she is just a ninth-level county-level official.

The director of their bureau is only level 12. is equivalent to signing this word, and I was immediately promoted to three levels in a row and on an equal footing with Zheng Ju?

Are you sure you're awake?

Then the old man in front of him is at least thirteen levels, and he is at the same level as the head of the Criminal Department and the mayor of Wutong City?

The old man's eyes changed, and he immediately took out another document.

"You can say no. But if you refuse, you will need to sign this non-disclosure agreement. ”

Two stacks of paper were placed side by side in front of Ai Ting. But Ai Ting's gaze always turned around the part centered on the words "Twelfth Level".

"You need to commit to keeping this ability-related case a secret. Leaks of confidentiality will result in dismissal from public office and legal sanctions.

"After signing, as long as you keep it a secret, your position in the Bureau will remain the same. ”

The old man pointed to a blank space and said, "Write here: I have read and declined this offer." And promise to keep all the above secrets forever. Then just sign it. ”

Ai Ting reluctantly looked at the "twelfth level", and raised her hand stubbornly: "I'll think about it again." ”

"You have plenty of time to think about it. ”

The old man looked at her with a smile.
