Chapter 262: Ritual (1)

Chen Jianming, holding a briefcase in one hand and a big bag in the other, stood at the door of Sun Suhe's house and rang the doorbell.

Alice already knew that he had arrived, so she walked to the door slowly, and while opening the door to invite him in, she teased: "Master Chen, your old man is so powerful, didn't you say that you would arrive soon?" I have been waiting for you for more than half an hour, and I won't answer the phone. I almost thought something had happened to you. ”

"Phone?" Chen Jianming took out his mobile phone and saw that there were three missed calls on the screen, and he apologized with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I turned it to silent and forgot to turn it back." I'm really sorry, I was about to come over after answering the phone, but I was pulled by the Yu Bureau and several colleagues for a meeting, and the phone was also put on silent mode. ”

"Then you call me earlier, do you have to call you? Forget it, let's talk about it first. Alice led him to the living room.

Chen Jianming didn't know how to answer. He didn't know what was going on with him, and he was always cringe at calling Alice. I'm afraid I'll accidentally annoy Alice.

Will she be busy when I call? Will it disturb her?

If she doesn't answer, how often should I call her a second time?

If I hit too often, will she find me annoying?

But if I make a second call after a long time, will she think that I don't respect her?

......

In short, if it weren't for the special official reason, Chen Jianming would unconsciously think about a lot of things before calling Alice, and it would take a lot of courage to press the dial button.

Naturally, he didn't say this embarrassed thought, so he could only blush and casually mum a few words, and then quickly put the big bag in his hand on the coffee table in the living room and opened it.

"This is the sugar water and dessert I bought on the road. I guess I'm sorry. ”

Alice glanced at it casually, double skin milk, poplar branch nectar, raw sesame paste, coconut water sago dew...... I used to order it when we drank sugar water together a few times in the past.

"Ha, you kid knows a lot. Not bad, forgive me. ”

"Jianming has arrived. Sun Suhe heard the movement, came out of the study and raised his hand to greet.

"Mr. Suhe. Chen Jianming nodded in acknowledgment.

Cheng Zitong sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, the TV in front of her was colorful, but her eyes were blurred and out of focus.

Sun Suhe walked up to her and asked, "Cheng Zitong, which one do you like to eat?" Don't be polite to him. ”

"I can do whatever I want. Cheng Zitong replied sneeringly.

"Jianming, how is Cheng Zitong's mother doing? Sun Suhe deliberately raised his voice and asked.

Chen Jianming understood what Sun Suhe meant, sat down beside Cheng Zitong, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, your mother is already under our protection, absolutely safe." Eat well and sleep well, maybe when you meet again in a few days, she will be a little fatter. ”

"Well, thank you. Cheng Zitong's dark face showed a rare smile.

Sun Suhe asked, "Can you help bring these double-skinned milk upstairs to Master Tanuki and Little Bear......?"

"I understand. Cheng Zitong nodded, picked a few sweet drinks and desserts and went upstairs.

Sun Suhe looked at her dejected appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This kid is usually quite a resolute and strong person. Hey, the blood of mother-daughter affection is thicker than water. If only that bastard Kirdarshan retreat could be solved soon.

After the three of them sat down in the living room, Sun Suhe asked while drinking sesame paste, "Jianming, how are the victims at the charity reception?"

"I was about to tell you this. That's what I had before I came. Chen Jianming took out the computer from his briefcase and opened a few folders cracklingly.

"The Yu Bureau attaches great importance to this matter, and specially dispatched colleagues from various departments to come over, and we have set up a working group to be responsible for this matter. Based on the list of guests you gave us for the charity reception, we have been in contact with all of the people on the list. You see......"

Chen Jianming pointed to the computer screen and said, "The first folder is everyone's archives. The second folder contains an assessment of the mental condition of these people, and thanks to your good handling, most of them have no serious mental problems. There are a few more serious ones that can be treated. ”

"That's good. You're so efficient. Sun Suhe couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Jianming smiled a little helplessly: "It's all forced, there's no way, there's too much work." ”

He opened a special software on his desktop and continued: "We weighed and selected a few of them for personal tracking protection, and we can see their real-time situation from here. ”

"Did you find anything?" asked Alice.

"For the time being, not yet. Most of the victims in this case are outermost people, and it is difficult to provide useful information. We've tried to survey the people who have been preaching to them, trying to look for clues from the outside in, one or two people at a time, but often one or two people will come to an abrupt end. ”

"Why?" asked Sun Suhe.

"Some of them couldn't find a higher level of preacher, and some of them found one but the other party was brainwashed so badly that they didn't cooperate with us at all. ”

Sun Suhe was puzzled: "Don't cooperate? You should have a way to get them to cooperate." Or just search their memories? I don't believe that the Twenty-Second Bureau doesn't have this ability. ”

Chen Jianming shook his head solemnly, "No." We do have the means to get our subjects to reveal what we want to know, but there are strict rules to use them. Our duty in the 22nd Bureau is to protect the laity, this time the victim and not the criminal, and we have no authority to use these means against him. This is a red line that must not be violated. ”

"You're quite human rights-conscious. But it's also for their own good. Even if some of their human rights are violated, it is better than letting them continue to sink into a cult. Can't you be a little more flexible and accommodating?" asked Sun Suhe.

Chen Jianming's face was embarrassed, and he explained carefully: "This, in theory, is okay. However, the report has to be sent to the General Administration, and it is basically impossible to approve it. Because this kind of thing is the most likely to cause trouble, even if it is handled well and compliant, there is still something to blame...... In short, it is impossible for the people of the General Directorate to take this risk for us. For them, more is better than less, and they will certainly find an excuse to dismiss the report. ”
