As soon as Vice Minister Ding's words came out, Xu Yan didn't answer, but the deputy director of the Beijing Public Security Bureau was furious in his heart - Ding Tao, you are too despicable to do things!

Asking Xu Yan for advice on behalf of the public security system in Beijing sincerely asked Xu Yan for advice on the secret of restraining the F virus, which was a simple business exchange between peers and did not have any malicious intent.

But after asking himself, Ding Tao immediately followed up and asked Xu Yan aggressively, which created an illusion for everyone, that is, he and Vice Minister Ding had a tacit understanding in advance to deal with Wen Xiuzhi!

When the Wen family comes back with a grudge and revenge, wouldn't he be very wronged? But on this kind of meeting occasion, I can't quickly declare that I have drawn a clear line: "Actually, I am not in the same group as Lao Ding." ”

For a while, Deputy Director Bian really hated Ding Tao in his heart - this person is really despicable in doing things, he doesn't drag people into the water like this!

Afraid of Wen Xiuzhi's misunderstanding, Deputy Director Bian hurriedly explained, and he said politely: "Major Xu, please believe that we don't want to dig out the secrets of your private life or past for no reason, it's not like this, we have a reason."

To tell you the truth, this year, our Beijing Public Security Bureau has encountered four such problems of f-virus madness, and each time it is by relying on the sacrifice of public security officers and armed police soldiers to eliminate those mutated monsters - every time we encounter such a thing, before the heavy firepower arrives, we can only rely on ordinary police officers and soldiers to block and destroy those monsters with their lives, that sacrifice ...... It's so tragic! I cried several times for this, but I couldn't help it - my duty, for the safety of the masses. Our police officers can only do not hesitate, even if they know that they will die, they have to stick to the line of defense.

We don't mean anything else. Just wondering what you used to destroy that monster. What kind of weapon is it, exactly? Is it possible to promote this weapon within our public security system, so that the police officers can destroy monsters when they encounter similar problems?

Of course, Major Xu, if you can come up with the physical object of this weapon, it is of course the best, and our public security organs are willing to buy it from you at a high price. If you have a problem and it is really inconvenient to take out the physical object. Then we can also cooperate in another way: if you describe the manufacturing method of this weapon, let us make a physical object, as long as it is proved to be effective, then the state will also reward you heavily -- this point, our public security organs absolutely count, and the director of the civil service can guarantee it!"

Hearing Deputy Director Bian say this, Wen Xiuzhi remained silent and said lightly: "Hmm." Major Xu, if you have made outstanding contributions to the country, the state has regulations, and it is indeed a heavy reward. -- The reasons of the public security department are above board. It's hard to stop yourself. Moreover, Wen Xiuzhi is also very interested in Xu Yan's private secrets, but everyone has a good relationship. He was embarrassed to ask Xu Yan. Since there were other people to help him ask, he also pretended to be confused.

Time. The eyes of the audience were focused on the young Major Xu.

Under the gaze of everyone, I felt this silent pressure. Xu Yan didn't speak for a long time, and then, he shook his head and said, "Director Bian, I'm sorry, I really can't take out the weapon to kill Wang Zhongmao, and I can't promote it, because I don't use a weapon at all." ”

Deputy Director Bian smiled dumbly: "Major Xu, when it comes to dealing with monsters, maybe you are an expert and an authority, but I am also a grassroots criminal policeman, and I still have basic vision." At the scene, as long as I saw the wound, I could roughly guess what kind of weapon caused it - whether it was a watermelon knife or a fruit knife or a dagger.

The monster was cut in half with a single slash, the edge of the knife was smooth and straight, almost straight down, even when cutting the hardest skulls without hindrance, the lines were smooth, this wound - uh, if I guessed correctly, Major Xu, what you used to kill it should be a heavy broad and long knife, just like the long-handled knives and horse chopping knives used by ancient military generals, and the edge of this knife is heavy and sharp, sharpening iron like clay, and you are also decent, after special training, proficient in knife skills, to achieve such a good effect. ”

Listening to Deputy Director Bian's self-righteous analysis, Xu Yan could only smile bitterly: "Director Bian is really like lightning!" ”

Deputy Director Bian stared at Xu Yan with blazing eyes: "The problem is, whether it was at the scene or on you, Major Xu, we didn't find this knife. And, according to common sense, if you have such a heavy long knife, in such a narrow space, at that height, it is impossible to use it - to chop it from head to toe, such a low room, from top to bottom, you can't exert force at all. And we couldn't find a knife on the spot - if you had such a long knife with you, where would you hide it? Why can't we all see it?

My comrades and I were really puzzled by this question, so we could only cheekily ask Major Xu to help me solve my doubts, hehe. ”

Deputy Director Bian smirked "hehe", and stared at Xu Yan with blazing eyes, as if he immediately wanted to find a Daguan knife on Xu Yan's body, so that Xu Yan had no way to excuse himself - the most terrible thing in the world is an insider who has become serious. This deputy director of the border is proficient in criminal investigation business, and several of the questions he asked were all raised on very critical points, and Xu Yan couldn't help it even if he wanted to mess around.

Xu Yan knew that at today's meeting, he was afraid that he would have to show a little hole card, otherwise, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to pass today's meeting.

"Director Bian, it's actually very simple - I didn't kill Wang Zhongmao with a knife, but with my bare hands. So, you can't find a knife, that's a natural thing. ”

Deputy Director Bian frowned slightly. He said in a deep voice: "Comrade Xiao Xu, this is a very strict meeting, let's talk and do things, we can't talk nonsense." The scars on Wang Zhongmao's corpse were so smooth and smooth, they were clearly sharp injuries caused by cutting, not blunt injuries caused by fists and feet--I am an old criminal investigator, and I can still distinguish this. What's more, how can there be a fist or kick in the world that breaks a person in half? ”

Deputy Director Bian said Xu Yan, but he turned his reproachful eyes on Wen Xiuzhi - he thought that Xu Yan was talking nonsense like this, and it was Wen Xiuzhi's instructions to him!

I saw Deputy Director Bian's gaze. Wen Xiuzhi could only smile bitterly - the taste of such an innocent lying gun was really uncomfortable. He said, "Major Xu, don't be joking. This is a formal working session. If you have something that involves personal ** or state secrets that are really inconvenient to say, then you can just say it. Director Bian and the leaders are able to understand your difficulties. ”

At the venue, everyone was a guest: everyone is a veteran, how can you not see Wen Xiuzhi's intentions? What is a "personal **", and then a "state secret", Wen Xiuzhi is blaming Xu Yan on the surface, but in fact, he is helping him think of a way out and an excuse, just waiting for Xu Yan to push the boat down the steps.

It's no wonder that this Major Xu is an ace cadre under Wen Xiuzhi, and there is no way to protect him.

Xu Yan smiled: "Director Wen." I'm not talking nonsense - Director Bian, I'm sorry, I want to borrow that cup in your hand to use, don't you know how convenient? ”

Deputy Director Bian was slightly surprised: "Cup? He looked at the teacup in his hand—an ordinary white porcelain teacup for meetings, and it cost only a few dollars a piece when placed outside.

"Major Xu, if you have any use, use it—but what do you want this cup for?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to prove it."

"Proof? Proof of what? ”

Xu Yan smiled without saying a word, he got up and walked over to Deputy Director Bian. Deputy Director Bian was about to take the cup and hand it to Xu Yan, but Xu Yan waved his hand and refused: "No need, Director Bian, that cup." You put it on the table and go. ”

"On the table?" Deputy Director Bian didn't know why, but he felt that Xu Yan's actions were becoming more and more unfathomable. He placed the cup on the table as he said: "So, okay?" ”

At this time. Xu Yan's inexplicable actions also attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone didn't know why. But they all had a hunch that they would see something amazing next. Everyone looked at the teacup next to the deputy director of the border, and some leaders who sat far away even got up and ran over to watch.

Seeing that Director Bian had put the cup away, Xu Yan nodded: "Okay-Director Bian, please let go of your hand." Uh, for the sake of safety, please put your hand a little farther away...... Look, I haven't touched this cup before! ”

When everyone focused their attention on the cup, Xu Yan had secretly condensed a sword light more than two inches long in his hand. Without waiting for everyone to react, he quickly turned his hand down, and the sword had already cut through the cup silently, and then Xu Yan quickly put away the sword and withdrew his hand - in the eyes of everyone, Xu Yan just cut his hand in the air and cut it into a palm, and he didn't touch the cup at all. Because Xu Yan's movements were too fast, and the sword light flashed and disappeared too briefly, no one present could notice the white light of the sword light.

The scene was silent, so quiet that you could hear the gasps of everyone's breathing. After a long while, everyone was still staring at the teacup, inexplicably - this Major Xu had just cut the cup with his hand, what was that for?

In the silence, someone sneered: "It seems that the magic performed by Major Xu is not very successful!" Major Xu, you use this kind of sensationalism to gag to avoid the problem, this will never work. I'm going to give you an honest and positive answer. ”

Hearing this question, you don't need to look at it, Xu Yan knows who asked, it must be the haunting Vice Minister Ding. It seems that he has to entangle himself with this issue to the end.

Xu Yan smiled faintly, and he said: "Minister Ding, leaders, the proof is on this cup, don't you know it when you read it?" ”

Ding Tao said unhappily: "Nonsense! An ordinary teacup, what proof is this......"

In the middle of his words, Minister Ding suddenly stopped talking, he stared at the cup in a daze, his eyes did not blink: right in front of his eyes, a large trace of water suddenly oozed from the tablecloth under the cup, and the water stain was still spreading, like the tea in the teacup was leaking out rapidly.

"The cup is leaking?" Minister Ding subconsciously reached out and grabbed the ring of the teacup, wanting to pick up the teacup and take a closer look, but when he mentioned it, he was surprised to find that the weight of the teacup was unexpectedly light.

Listening to the sound of "bang", the tea in the cup flowed out one after another, flowing half of the tabletop, and Minister Ding realized that he only lifted up half of the teacup with rings, and the other half of the teacup was still standing on the table!

I don't know when, the whole teacup actually cracked from top to bottom. Neatly split in half!

Everyone present exclaimed in unison: "Ah! ”

"Oh my God! Cut in two? ”

Everyone gathered around and took the cup and looked at it carefully. Exclamations came one after another: "Major Xu, it's amazing!" Your hand. What kind of kung fu is this? ”

Xu Yan was very modest: "It's just a little trick, it's not surprising." ”

"You split it like that, it doesn't seem like your hand touched the cup, and the cup was split in two - this, I saw that the book said that it should be called sword qi release, right?"

Xu Yan was secretly amused: this strange leader must be a fan of martial arts novels, and he even said the word "sword qi" - it's okay, they make up for it like this, and they also save themselves the labor of waste to find a reason to explain. He gave a thumbs up: "This leader is very insightful. Just guess and you've got it! ”

The leader was praised by Xu Yan, and he actually felt very face-saving, he smiled "hehe", and said to the people on the left and right: "Our martial arts are amazing, it's not what I saw today, I really can't believe this!" In the past, I always thought that martial arts were made up by martial arts novels, but I didn't expect this to happen! ”

"Yes, something that has been handed down by our ancient ancestors. I'm really unconvinced! ”

In the midst of the admiration, Minister Ding grabbed the cut half of the teacup in his hand, and was at a loss for what to do—those who work in the intelligence and security industry are more suspicious by nature than others. Even though it happened right under my nose. Minister Dante still couldn't accept this. He had also worked as a criminal policeman before, and he had also been in contact with the third-rate nine sects on the rivers and lakes. To use magic to make a cup crack so neatly that some charlatans used to be able to do this. Vice Minister Ding also knows a thing or two about this, but. They can do this by relying on the props prepared in advance and various coordinated methods of stealing beams and changing pillars.

But here's the thing. Minister Ding knew that this was definitely not magic. During the whole process, this cup was provided by the Nancheng District Public Security Bureau, from beginning to end, the cup was in the hands of the Bian Deputy Bureau, Xu Yan had not touched it, and in full view of everyone, he was so far away that he couldn't do anything - no matter how clever a magician or a liar was, it was impossible for him to use his tricks in this situation.

Deputy Director Bian's heart moved, he put half of the cup in front of him, and watched carefully: sure enough, the cut surface of the cup was extremely smooth, without the slightest roughness, as if this cup was naturally made and was divided into two parts.

Minister Ding took the cup and observed it carefully, thinking quickly in his mind: Look at this incision, it is very similar to the incision on Wang Zhongmao's corpse...... Could it really be that Xu Yan split Wang Zhongmao in two with such a palm? If this is the case, it can explain why Xu Yan's knives could not be found at the scene - the knives were all in Xu Yan's hands, so of course they could not be found.

But this is ...... Isn't that incredible? Can someone split that monster in two with one palm?

Thinking about the result, Minister Ding looked at his subordinates and asked in a deep voice, "Lao Hu, what do you think?" ”

Director Hu also squinted at the half of the cup in Deputy Director Bian's hand, staring at the smooth incision for a long time, and then, he sighed and whispered, "It's really unheard of!" Minister Ding, this is not done in advance, this Major Xu, he is really kung fu! ”

"Lao Hu, do you also know kung fu?" Minister Ding knew that this old Hu had very good eyesight and was the most authoritative physical evidence expert in the identification center, and he brought him over today to question Wen Xiuzhi.

Lao Hu pointed to the incision of the cup and said, "Minister, I don't know martial arts, but our meeting has been going on for almost an hour, right?" If the cup is cut in advance, there is more than an hour for the incision of the porcelain piece to be oxidized, and the color will change slightly. But now you see, the whole cup cut is snow-white, and there is no trace of oxidation at all, which is the case with freshly cut porcelain - this cup is really freshly cut, not a prop prepared in advance. ”

Minister Ding bowed his head silently, and looked at Xu Yan's gaze a little strange: "No wonder, this Major Xu has made so many meritorious contributions, it turns out that he still has such a ability!" He's so young, he can't see it at all, there is such a master! ”

Because there were many unexplained doubts at the scene of the murder, in Vice Minister Ding's plan, he deliberately grasped this issue to question Wen Xiuzhi and the Fourth Bureau, and for this reason, he even specially brought over forensic experts - if it can be proved that the Fourth Bureau falsified at the scene where Wang Zhongmao was killed, it would be even more ironclad to confirm the fact that Wen Xiuzhi deceived his superiors, and Wen Xiuzhi would never be able to turn over again.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yan showed such a "empty-handed cup" on the spot, which immediately shocked the audience, and now, Vice Minister Ding can no longer entangle the question of "how the monster is killed" - in fact, the difficulty difference between being able to split a cup with his bare hands and being able to split a living person with his bare hands is still very big, and being able to do the former does not mean that he can do the latter.

But the problem is that people have the inertia of thinking, and once people accept something that is incredible, their psychological defense will be greatly reduced, and it is often easier to accept other things that are more incredible. (To be continued......)
