It was a long night, the sun had not yet risen, and the night was still deep.

Next, Xu Yan didn't know what he was doing - according to his identity on the surface, Xu Yan was the head of the investigation team sent by the capital, and he should be fully responsible for the investigation of the case, and all the people present should obey his command. But the problem is that Xu Yan's age is so young that officials in Jincheng City may feel that it is too embarrassing to ask a little hairy child who is only the age of his own son or even grandson to ask for work.

So, everyone just kept a polite face to Xu Yan, but in fact, everyone still asked Secretary Zhao or Director Deng for instructions, and for a while, the scene was in stark contrast, Secretary Zhao was crowded with people, and the officials surrounded him, listened to his instructions, and formed a lively small circle; On Xu Yan's side, it was sparsely populated, and there wasn't even a ghost shadow - uh, it was wrong, the two female officers Huang Xi and Tang Min brought down from the Ministry of Intelligence, they were still with Xu Yan.

"Director Xu," seeing the excitement and coaxing over there, but she was sparse, with only three or two kittens and puppies left, Huang Xi seemed a little unconvinced, she whispered to Xu Yan: "These people in Jincheng City are really unauthentic!" I think that at the beginning, when we first arrived, they were so enthusiastic about us, they were feasting and welcome, and begged us to do our best to help them solve the case! Now, we risked our lives to solve the case and eliminate the murderer, and they immediately left us alone! You know, we still sacrificed two people, and a few people are still lying in the hospital - even if two migrant workers die, the leaders should come to visit us to make us feel stable, right? They crossed the river and demolished the bridge like this, but they also went too far! ”

Xu Yan smiled faintly, and he asked lightly, "Huang Xi, what do you want them to do?" Do you want to send us pennants and certificates? Call on the people of the city to learn from us? Wearing a big red flower to tour everywhere? ”

Huang Xi was speechless for a while. But she was still unconvinced: "Director Xu, you are indifferent to fame and fortune, regardless of personal gains and losses, this is because you have high consciousness and good self-cultivation." But now, we're representing the Ministry of Intelligence. We also represent Minister of Culture! We can't embarrass Minister Wen! ”

Xu Yan smiled dumbly: "Wen Xiuzhi won't be so boring, he will care about these messy things." He looked at Huang Xi and smiled: "What's more, this ± dǐng±diǎn± Xiao ± said, .2←3.o●s_(); Li is the land of Jincheng, and we don't understand the people and things here at all - let them be busy with these aftermath things. I'm also worried that if they really come and ask us, we won't understand anything. When the time comes, it will be a real shame to smash the pot. They don't come to harass us, but we have a good time, how good! ”

"Actually, I think Director Xu is right," the person who spoke was Tang Min, who was lazily reclining on a stone chair on the side of the road. Qianqian held a cigarette in her hand, and her eyes were closed and open like cats. The light was shining in the night, and her voice was hoarse and magnetic: "No matter how busy Jincheng is, the monster was discovered and eliminated by Director Xu, and the biggest credit belongs to our Director Xu, which is a fact that no one can erase." Since we have already got the biggest credit, then we can't eat alone. The assistance work of finishing up the aftermath must always be left to the Jincheng government, otherwise, it will be difficult for them to write a report to the top at that time! They have to be a great helper, right? Hehe, Director Xu, you say. Isn't that the truth? ”

Huang Xi looked at Tang Min dissatisfied, she seemed to refute Tang Min, but at this time, she was suddenly stunned and shouted excitedly: "Director Xu, I saw that there are many more cars coming...... It's time for our people to arrive! ”

Our people? Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look over, but saw a long row of headlights approaching along the school road in the distance. Looking at the neat headlights, Xu Yan understood that the person who came should be the troops of the Jincheng Garrison District - no wonder Huang Xi was happy to say that it was "our people".

The troop convoy drove away from afar, and the first was a grass-green jeep off-road vehicle, which happened to stop in front of Xu Yan, and a soldier wearing a steel helmet came out and asked Xu Yan: "Hey, a few classmates, inquire, do you know how to go to the tennis court in the backyard of Shudu University?" ”

Xu Yan looked at the soldier, and suddenly felt that this guy's voice was very familiar, and he pointed to the scene: "If you want to be over there, right?" See, there's a big group of police cars parked on the side of the road, and you just drive over. ”

Seeing the large group of police cars over there, the soldier was also taken aback: "There are so many policemen here!" What happened? Have there been terrorist attacks? ”

The more Xu Yan listened to the soldier's accent, the more familiar it became, and he asked tentatively, "Excuse me, are you ...... Camp Commander Zhao, right? ”

The soldier was startled, turned his head to look over, and he looked Xu Yan up and down: "Classmate, how do you know me?" You are...... Your voice is familiar, could you be...... Uh, it can't be, right? How can anyone be so young?! ”

Xu Yan's face stiffened - this was the most embarrassing scene for him, and he had to struggle to explain it before he could prove his identity!

At this time, the empathetic Huang Xi walked up, she took her own documents, handed them directly to the soldier, and said clearly: "Hello, Battalion Commander Zhao, right?" I am Huang Xi, an investigator of the Special Anti-Terrorism Division of the Fourth Bureau of the Beijing Intelligence Department, and this is our Director Xu Yan! Battalion Chief Zhao, please get out of the car! ”

Listening to Huang Xi's words, the soldier was taken aback, he jumped out of the car, took Huang Xi's ID card and looked at it a few times, and politely handed it back to Huang Xi. Then, he saluted Xu Yan: "Director Xu, hello! Can you show your ID? ”

Xu Yan took out his military ID card and handed it over, Battalion Commander Zhao took it and looked at it seriously in front of the headlights for a while, and then respectfully handed it back to Xu Yan with both hands: "Thank you, Director Xu!" ”

Then, Battalion Commander Zhao stood solemnly and saluted Xu Yan uprightly, and he shouted loudly: "Report to Director Xu, the police battalion directly under the Jincheng Garrison District has been ordered to report for duty!" Our battalion should have reached 652 people, but it actually reached 532 people, all armed and carrying live ammunition! The report is complete, please instruct! ”

The other party suddenly came to such a moment, and Xu Yan was immediately confused - he has not undergone formal military training and has not undergone military etiquette training, should he return the salute when he encounters such an occasion? But I didn't wear a military uniform, is it appropriate to salute the army?

Xu Yan hesitated, but still returned a military salute. He said vaguely: "It's hard work, Camp Commander Zhao - please take a break!" ”

"Yes!" Battalion Commander Zhao put down his saluting hand, his eyes were still staring at Xu Yan, and his eyes were full of curiosity - this little hairy boy who looked like he was still a student, was the leader of the investigation team sent by the Intelligence Department of the General Staff to be in charge of the investigation? He's a director? Oh, my God!

Xu Yan was also looking at Battalion Commander Zhao - this was a stout soldier wearing a camouflage uniform. Wearing a steel helmet, the belt around his waist was tightly tied, and he was wearing a pistol, and the whole person looked crisp and quite capable.

For a while, Xu Yan looked at Battalion Chief Zhao, and Battalion Chief Zhao was also looking at Xu Yan, and both of them were silent - Xu Yan didn't know what to say, but Camp Chief Zhao was because his level was lower than Xu Yan. So it's not good to speak first, for a while, the scene is really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Huang Xi saw it - Xu Yan didn't know how to deal with this kind of occasion at all, so she hurriedly came over to interject to help Xu Yan relieve the siege: "Battalion Commander Zhao, you guys are really timely!" We estimate that it will take you at least more than an hour to come, but we didn't expect it to be only forty minutes, and you will be there! ”

Someone spoke. The awkward atmosphere suddenly opened, and Camp Commander Zhao smiled heartily. He said: "Director Xu, Major Huang, it's late at night, there are no cars on the road, so we dare to drive faster." If it's daytime, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it for three hours. Ha ha! ”

Battalion Commander Zhao gave a "haha". However, his expression changed to stern: "Director Xu, we arrived in time in accordance with the requirements of emergency mobilization." What tasks do you want to perform, can you please instruct - what do you need to prepare? ”

Looking at Camp Commander Zhao's anxious expression, Xu Yan was diǎn amused: "Camp Commander Zhao." Come and watch it yourself, and then you'll understand. ”

Saying that, Xu Yan took a step forward and walked towards the woods, and Battalion Commander Zhao hurriedly chased after him. Along the way, they saw that a large group of policemen were holding blockades in various parts of the woods to arrange warning areas, and Battalion Commander Zhao was secretly shocked, knowing that something earth-shattering must have happened.

Xu Yan led Camp Commander Zhao through the woods and came to the giant snake monster snake: "Camp Commander Zhao, see for yourself." ”

"Ahh

The first moment he saw the corpse of the giant snake, Battalion Commander Zhao let out a senseless scream, his face distorted with fear. At this time, Xu Yan thought that Battalion Commander Zhao was going to make a fool of himself like the officials, but he didn't expect that Battalion Commander Zhao suddenly bent over, raised his hand, and pulled out the pistol in the holster on his waist, with a crisp "click", the pistol was loaded! If it weren't for Xu Yan's quick reaction and timely holding down Battalion Commander Zhao's hand, his next move would be to raise his hand to shoot!

Xu Yan hugged Camp Commander Zhao at once, and grabbed his hand holding the gun tightly with one hand, he could feel that Camp Commander Zhao's body was trembling violently, struggling desperately, like a carp that had been fished out of the water.

At this time, Xu Yan regretted a little: he directly brought Camp Commander Zhao here without warning him in advance, he never had the psychology of diǎn joking and playing tricks on people, he just wanted to see how ordinary humans would react when they suddenly saw such a terrifying monster. But he didn't expect that Battalion Commander Zhao's reaction would be so fierce, and he pulled out his gun all of a sudden, and he almost couldn't stop it!

"Battalion Commander Zhao, you calm down! This monster is dead! It's no longer a threat to us! ”

was hugged by Xu Yan and roared several times in a row before Camp Commander Zhao calmed down. He gradually stopped struggling, gasped for breath, and whispered, "Director Xu, you let me go!" I'm fine! It's okay! ”

After listening to Camp Commander Zhao say a few times, Xu Yan let go of him, he forcibly took away Camp Commander Zhao's pistol, looked at Camp Commander Zhao, and saw that the latter's face was as white as paper, still panting for breath, his eyes were still staring at the giant snake more than a dozen steps away, his body leaned forward slightly, and he looked on guard, as if he was running away or fighting at any time, his eyes were full of fear, and his forehead was already drenched in sweat.

Seeing that Battalion Commander Zhao was so frightened and frightened, Xu Yan was embarrassed, and he handed the gun back to Battalion Commander Zhao: "Battalion Commander Zhao, I'm sorry, I should have reminded you in advance - I really didn't expect Camp Commander Zhao to react so violently." ”

Casually took back the pistol and inserted it back into the holster, Battalion Commander Zhao turned around again and continued to stare at the giant snake - at this moment, the giant snake had already attracted all his spirit and attention, and he couldn't take his eyes off it at all!

He stared at the giant snake, gasped sharply, and shook his head: "Director Xu, it's nothing, this is also my personal reason, I'm a person, because I was bitten by a snake when I was a child, I have been afraid of snakes since I was a child, and I have a special phobia of snakes." Suddenly seeing such a big snake, I was really stunned just now, and my brain seemed to explode immediately, and my whole body exploded - Director Xu, I'm not afraid of your jokes, my legs are still weak now! ”

Xu Yan smiled and looked at Camp Commander Zhao's legs - sure enough, although he was standing upright, his legs were indeed trembling slightly.

Fortunately, this time was not long, Camp Commander Zhao quickly calmed down, he turned around and strode towards Xu Yan, although his face was still pale, he seemed a lot calmer, he asked, "Director Xu, our enemy tonight...... Is this such a monster? ”

Xu Yan shrugged: "This kind of monster is not yet, and it is not certain yet." But we have to plan badly, in case this guy has a companion - I've heard that snakes are the most vengeful, and I wonder if they will avenge their fellows. At that time, Camp Commander Zhao, we have to look at you. ”

Fighting this monster?

Camp Commander Zhao's face turned pale, he glanced back at the giant snake, and muttered, "This guy, he's too big, right?" The vitality of the snake is the toughest, this guy's skin is so thick, no wonder Director Xu, you want us to bring a heavy guy - damn it, I knew that we were going to deal with this kind of monster, and the 12.7 flat-fire machine gun we brought was not enough! Director Xu, it's better to transfer a few main battle tanks to sit in the town, so it's safe! Otherwise, relying on our 95 rifles alone, I'm afraid we won't be able to penetrate other people's scale armor!

Director Xu, how was this big guy killed before? I don't think that wound looks like a gunshot wound! ”

What Xu Yan is most afraid of is being asked this question - this question has been asked by Secretary Zhao, and Wen Xiuzhi has also asked it, and Xu Yan has tried to prevaricate in the past. Unexpectedly, Battalion Commander Zhao came to ask himself this, Xu Yan is really impatient with the boss - Lao Tzu is troublesome enough just to deal with those big officials, and he has to bother to deal with you, a little major?
