The Cold Spring Martyrs Cemetery is located in the western suburbs of the city, under the mountains. The mountains are full of deciduous trees, but the Lengquan Martyrs Cemetery is full of pines and cypresses. The four seasons are reincarnated, the autumn leaves on the mountains are colorful, and the winter trees are withered, but the cemetery is a touch of eternal greenery.

The Cold Spring Martyrs Cemetery is open to the public. When Fang Chi arrived by taxi, many people had already gathered at the entrance of the cemetery, and a considerable number of them were media reporters. Like the others who came to pay their respects, they wore black veils around their arms and white flowers on their chests. SWAT guards in black combat uniforms and sunglasses can be seen everywhere, standing straight.

No one made a loud noise, and a heavy atmosphere permeated the entire cemetery.

Fang Chi bypassed the crowd. The funeral was about to begin, and she chose a position with a good view on a nearby hillside to watch from afar.

The wind was still strong in early spring, and her long, soft black hair was curled around the scales of the arborvitae beside her. She roughly ripped her hair back and tucked it into the collar of her trench coat.

The distance from the funeral site is just right. She put on a wireless headphone, turned on the switch, and immediately heard a clutter of noise in her ears. She patiently adjusted, and the sound transmitted through the headphones gradually became clearer.

"All your phones are off, right?"

"Rest assured. It's already closed on the way here. I don't want to be disturbed on this occasion either.

It was her mother Gu Ying and stepfather He Xinyi.

Well done. In this way, Dr. Ning found out that she had run away and wanted to call He Xinyi, but He Xinyi couldn't pick it up.

Yesterday, after He Xinyi gave her PTSD treatment, she gave him a black tie clip. The design of the tie clip is simple, inlaid with two platinum twills, which is calm and atmospheric, and it is very suitable for wearing on a black tie.

As a birthday gift to He Xinyi, such a small accessory is not excessive. Because she doesn't like the stepfather who has called her "kitten" since she was a child, she doesn't like to owe him favors. On her birthday, He Xinyi's gifts are always ingenious, so the birthday gifts for her hateful stepfather will definitely not be absent.

He Xinyi was naturally happy to receive this gift. This means that Fang Chi's state of love has improved.

But in the tie clip is a miniature near-field bug.

He Xinyi is a person who pays a lot of attention to appearance and demeanor. In the spring, when the wind is strong, he usually uses a tie clip. She had noticed that his tie clips used to be paired with ties of various other colors and stripes.

But to attend the funeral, he will inevitably wear a pure black suit and a black tie.

Then it would be appropriate to give him a tie clip that goes well with a black tie.

"She's not going to get out of the hospital, is she?"

Mother asked. The mother rarely mentions her own name, always replacing it with only one "she".

Maybe my mother is more taboo about her name. This name was given by her mother, and her mother never explained the meaning of this name, but Fang Chi knew very well in her heart that "Chi" was that she was late and didn't see her biological father.

Perhaps in the mother's heart, the father's choice was never wrong. The father's sacrifice was also fate. It's just that she's late.

"I've arranged it all, and the kitten shouldn't have much chance of escaping."

"Are you sure it's foolproof? She's cunning. ”

Scold. It's really a knowing girl.

She heard He Xinyi smiling bitterly. He said, "Why don't you let her come?" She has the right to know. Even if she doesn't come, she can see it in the media later. The 19th Bureau's fox hunt operation killed one police officer and one undercover agent, and found nothing, which was the most failed operation in the seven years since its establishment. The 19th Bureau has always been the most controversial organization, and there will be no shortage of media reports, and I am afraid that there will be in-depth articles. ”

"She and Sheng Yan shouldn't have started in the first place." Mother Gu Ying said indifferently, "Now that Sheng Yan has passed away, they should be completely over." Sheng Yan's parents were coming to the funeral, and I didn't want them to see each other. ”

"You're too kittens. People have feelings. The kitten's current symptoms, in addition to organic damage, are also emotionally repressed. ”

"She was born with a mission. She was going to live in place of her father, and she was destined to endure more. ”

"Gu Ying! Your education of kittens is the one I disagree with the most. ”

"After all these years, are you still arguing with me about this?"

“……”

Their conversations always end up coming back to this point. Fang Chi couldn't understand how He Xinyi, such a perfect man, could fall in love with a paranoid woman like his mother.

Maybe everyone is looking for someone who can bridge what they don't have.

The funeral began.

She had just taken a taxi and bought a telescope when she passed by an astronomical instrument store.

The turquoise lawn was full of people dressed in black. Black armbands, white flowers. The people of the Nineteenth Bureau are there, and she knows them all. People are non-things, as if they are separated from each other. It was so close, but she couldn't take a step further.

Through the lens, she saw a black-and-white photograph of herself.

After six months, when I saw this face again, I felt a little unfamiliar.

"Medusa, female, joined the Cyber Security Agency in January '16 and worked undercover in several dark web illegal trade organizations. On October 2, 19, he died at the age of 25 in a biochemical drug trade in Shan State, Myanmar. ”

In the loudspeaker, the rough and heavy voice of Shi Zhengrong, director of the 19th Bureau, was heard.

The mother and He Xinyi stood far away, and she couldn't hear the sobs of the people in the audience from the eavesdropper. But in the binoculars, a middle-aged man wearing a mask is holding a woman who is also wearing a mask and is crying so much that she almost faints. Clearly visible sadness.

That's two professional actors.

From the time she stepped into the special training area as a child, she had two identities. One Medusa, one Fang Chi. The path designed for her by her mother leads to her former father's profession: SWAT, and more likely an undercover agent.

Later, the 19th Bureau was established, and there was an urgent need for cyber-proficient police forces to join. She happened to be studying information science at Yan University, and she had the experience of training since childhood, so she was specially approved by Shi Zhengrong, director of the 19th Bureau. At that time, she had not yet graduated from her second year of graduate school.

She has been an undercover agent for nearly four years in dark web transactions, smashed a child sexual/erotic organization, an organ trafficking organization, and assisted in the detection of more than a dozen cases such as bank credit card information trafficking and state secret intelligence information transmission. In the end, it was ruined in the hands of Nerve Rose.

"Sheng Yan, male. In 14 years, he joined the Cyber Security Bureau at the beginning of its establishment, participated in the detection of all major cyber security cases, and was awarded the third class merit twice. On October 2, 19, he died at the age of 27 in a biochemical drug trade in Shan State, Myanmar. ”

It had been so long since Rao was that Fang Chi still didn't dare to use the telescope to look at Sheng Yan's photo.

It's cruel to watch a colorful photo turn into black and white, and to watch a living person in a three-dimensional world turn into a static image in a two-dimensional world. It's like a colored soap bubble bursting, and all the splendor turns gray.

She hung her head. Fiercely, she raised her binoculars and looked at Sheng Yan's last photo.

I didn't even cry. The heart twitched either.

It turned out that He Xinyi was effective in increasing the dose of α inhibitors for her. Her whole person is dry, without the love of sorrow and joy, and without humanity.

It's as if Sheng Yan was just a stranger. The past she remembered had turned pale under the effects of the medicine.

In the binoculars, Sheng Yan's parents, younger brothers, and younger siblings were all crying. Soon after, my mother fell to the ground, and my father, younger brother, and younger siblings all went to help her. The white-clad first responders quickly arrived with stretchers and took them out.

The short funeral was over.

Those media reporters did not let go of Shi Zhengrong, director of the Cyber Security Bureau, who was rare to come out once.

"May I ask Director Shi, can you disclose the details of the fox hunt operation? What exactly is the crime involved? What are the criminal organizations and suspects involved? Do you work with Interpol? ”

"May I ask Director Shi, why are there no bodies of the two sacrificial detectives at this funeral? Are their remains repatriated? I heard that the legs of the martyr Sheng Yan were refrigerated and airlifted back, is this rumor true? ”

"May I ask Director Shi, this fox hunt operation directly led to the sacrifice of an undercover agent and a case-handling agent, is there any dereliction of duty by the Cyber Security Bureau? I heard that Sheng Yan's direct boss, Sheng Qinghuai, has been suspended for investigation, does this punishment mean that the Cyber Security Bureau believes that he should be directly responsible for the sacrifices of these two agents? Does this behavior of the Cyber Security Bureau be a shirking of responsibility? ”

"May I ask Director Shi, why did you send a girl as young as Medusa to such a dangerous undercover job?"

"May I ask Director Shi, the Cyber Security Bureau invested as much as two-thirds of the total budget of the whole year on the Fox Hunt operation last year, but has not received anything so far, does the Cyber Security Bureau owe taxpayers an explanation?"

"May I ask Director Shi ......?"

Fang Chi heard He Xinyi sigh and said, "The funeral has just ended, and the people haven't dispersed yet, these reporters can't wait." ”

Gu Ying said coldly: "Shi Zhengrong is hard-minded and stubborn, refusing to hold a press conference, and the reporters can catch him, and this is the only place where the reporters can catch him." ”

"Are journalists so sharp now? The world has really changed. When we were young, who dared to question someone of Shi Zhengrong's level like this? ”

"The 19th Bureau has attracted much public attention since its establishment. After the Fox Hunt operation, there were many calls for the 19th Bureau to be transferred from an independent agency under the National Security Bureau to the Ministry of Public Security, and Shi Zhengrong was under great pressure. Journalists are aware of this, so they boldly demand supervision by public opinion. “

He Xinyi asked: "What is the difference between the 19th Bureau being subordinate to the National Security Bureau or the Ministry of Public Security?" "

Gu Ying glanced at He Xinyi and said, "Director He is really a person who is obsessed with scientific research. Under the National Security Bureau, the 19th Bureau has the right to maintain a high degree of secrecy in its activities. Assigned to the Ministry of Public Security, the 19th Bureau must publish a white paper to the public every year to publicly disclose information. ”

He Xinyi suddenly let out an "oh", and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Did you delete the video that the Nineteenth Bureau sent to you?" It can't be seen by the kitten anyway. ”

"I know, I deleted it a long time ago."

"I heard that the live broadcast of Sheng Yan's death at that time was briefly opened on the Maandala dark web. The kitten still has the belief in survival, but if he sees that video, I'm afraid he will collapse. ”

"Shi Zhengrong arranged for someone to do a sweep, she shouldn't have a chance to see it-hey, why did you get a new tie clip today?"

"Oh, the kid from the kitten yesterday said it was a birthday gift in advance......

With a "hiss", the signal was cut off. My mother is worthy of being a person who has been with my father for many years, and she has superb anti-reconnaissance skills.

Fang Chi picked up his scarf, covered most of his face, carried the binoculars on his back, and walked down the hill quickly with his hands in his pockets. On the way, she almost collided with someone, and when she looked up, it was a young man wearing a light blue disinfectant mask and a blue hat. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she could probably tell that she was the same age. He was tall, with slightly dark and jumping eyes, like a deer standing in the morning fog of the forest.

Who is here like her?

It was a terrible thing to be caught by her mother and she to bug He Xinyi. Fang Chi had no intention of staying here for a long time, and cast a second glance at the young man, and found that he was also looking at him vigilantly. Fang Chi gathered his windbreaker and walked away quickly against the wind.
