So the stern lieutenant colonel saluted Wen Xiuzhi again, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries, and then the policemen said goodbye one after another—the main person who handled the matter had arrived, and there was no need for them to stay.

When the policemen left, the picket lieutenant colonel got to the point: "Director Wen, what's going on today?" ”

Wen Xiuzhi took out his military ID card from his pocket and handed it over: "Comrade picket, I am Wen Xiuzhi, director of the Fourth Bureau of the Ministry of Intelligence, and this is my subordinate Major Xu Yan. Today, when Major Xu was on a secret arrest mission, he had to shoot a warning because of an unexpected situation -- well, he fired two shots in total, and there were no casualties, but these public security comrades happened to pass by in the vicinity and rushed to see the incident, so they called you, and that's it. ”

Wen Xiuzhi's words were misty, neither explaining what task Xu Yan was performing, nor why he shot, let alone who he shot at, but only emphasizing that "no casualties were caused", Xu Yan listened to it a little unexpectedly - this seems to be a bit too perfunctory, right?

But the lieutenant colonel didn't think it was at all, and he nodded very sternly: "Understood-Major Xu, please show us your military ID card and gun license?" ”

Xu Yan took out his documents -- an officer's ID card and a gun license -- and then, the lieutenant colonel carefully checked Xu Yan's two documents, and asked a non-commissioned officer next to him to take a picture of the documents, and then asked Xu Yan to ask for a pistol to come and check it, check the gun number, check the magazine, and count the bullets inside -- during the whole process of doing so, the lieutenant colonel did not say a word, and several non-commissioned officers who checked were also silent. The atmosphere was a little tense, and Xu Yan was worried about it.

Fortunately, the process didn't last long. Soon, the lieutenant colonel finished the inspection. He asked Xu Yan a few more questions--where was the bullet casing after the shot? Have any people been injured by mistake?

After hearing Xu Yan's answer no, the lieutenant colonel's face softened a little, and he raised his head and said to Xu Yan strictly: "Major Xu, it is said that your intelligence department is doing things, and we are not good at interfering, but the situation in the capital is relatively special, and the use of guns here is relatively strict." Because this time, you haven't hurt anyone. If the director of the bureau testifies again, we will not do a gun review, but next time, please be more cautious, and try to be as cautious as possible in carrying out tasks in the capital -- there is a picket attendance record here, you see, if the situation is correct, please sign it. ”

Xu Yan hasn't seen it yet. Wen Xiuzhi had already reached over and took the list, he looked at it very carefully for a while, and then said to Xu Yan: "No problem, you can sign it." ”

The lieutenant colonel frowned slightly. He looked at Wen Xiuzhi dissatisfied, and his mouth moved, as if he was complaining about Wen Xiuzhi's interference. But in the end, he still didn't say anything. Still remained silent.

Since Wen Xiuzhi, an expert, said that there was no problem, Xu Yan was also relieved. He simply signed the piece of paper, the lieutenant colonel nodded, and he shook hands with Wen Xiuzhi and Xu Yan: "Then, that's it, we're going to close the team." ”

"Okay, it's hard work Staff Officer Liu, leave a phone call, and we'll get together when we get back." At this time, Xu Yan learned that the lieutenant colonel officer was a staff officer of the garrison command, surnamed Liu.

Seeing the group of pickets leaving, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief - when the pickets came over, the solemn energy with a straight face made people feel too uncomfortable. Watching them get in the car and leave, Xu Yan exhaled softly and went out: "Whew~~"

Wen Xiuzhi looked at him funny, and he smiled: "Brother Yan, it was cool to draw a gun and fight at that time, but now you know that it is uncomfortable, right?" Hehe, I'm lucky this time, if I hadn't been here, they would have brought you back and would have reviewed it for a few days. In the future, when it comes to gun-related matters, let's be cautious. Alright, now that we're done, let's find a place to eat. ”

Xu Yanxin thought so, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be disdainful: "Go, Wenju, I haven't been harmed by you?" When you first recruited me into the Intelligence Department, you said so badly, that the Intelligence Department had great power and could do whatever you wanted, as if I could shoot anyone who didn't like him - who knew that I hadn't really destroyed anyone, so I just fired two shots, and I was beaten to death by pickets, and I was almost brought back to a small black room. ”

Wen Xiuzhi smiled, looking at him in a good mood, he was not annoyed when he was choked by Xu Yan like this, but laughed dryly: "No matter how powerful you are, you can't shoot and kill people casually." ”

Then, his expression changed to stern: "Brother Yan, you are a college student and highly educated, so there are some truths that you should understand: human beings are social animals, and the reason why we humans want to do something is because we want to achieve the goal, so we do it." The same is true of killing. We don't kill for the sake of killing, we kill for a certain purpose—that purpose may be many, for example, for money, for promotion, for women, for hatred, for anger, or even for a certain fame -- but in general, it's the same thing: we don't kill for the sake of killing, we kill for the sake of achieving our purpose.

Therefore, shooting and killing people directly is the stupidest and most incompetent way, and this is what desperate outlaws do -- gangsters, killers, robbers, ordinary people who are cornered -- the reason why they kill people is because they really have no other way to achieve their goals than to confront the state power in this way, and they have no other way to achieve their goals than this kind of annihilation.

But we are different, we are intelligence officers, we are the guardians of the country, we are part of the political system, we have the full protection of the state power organs, the entire state power is our backing, the state also allows us to legally use appropriate violent means, we have the power of investigation and arrest, far more than ordinary people and even ordinary police.

Brother Yan, I'll give you a gun, it's for your self-defense, but it's not for you to shoot if you don't like it-Brother Yan, we have so much power, and we can't legally clean up each other, so how incompetent we are! Brother Yan, you want to learn the law, and you want to play each other to death in the boundaries of the law. That's what it's called!

Brother Iwa, like this is the case today. You don't use a gun when that ruffian molests your girlfriend. It would have been better to clean him up. For example, you can show your identity on the spot, and in the name of our Fourth Bureau or the investigation team, you can arrest him on the spot. If he dares to resist, at that time, as long as you shout, so many police are in the Jiashan community, and they will also help you subdue this ruffian together. When the time comes. Take him back to the bureau, how can you get him to fail?

To put it mildly, which of these ruffians in society has not had a few cases? Back in the game, are you still afraid that he won't say it? When the time comes, we can completely hand him over to the local public security, even if he is in prison for ten or eight years, it will not be a difficult matter, why bother to make him as wolf as he is now? ”

Wen Xiuzhi said earnestly. Xu Yan also felt something.

Wen Xiuzhi's words did make some sense, and Xu Yan also fell into introspection: pulling out a gun in anger and shooting indiscriminately, it was very cool to watch, but if he really killed or injured that ruffian today. What will happen to you? Look at the strict strength of the pickets, before they hit anyone, they gave themselves this dead face. He was really going to hit someone-Xu Yan really didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

If you are a common man with no fists and no courage or a poor person who has no way out, you will have nothing but a rotten life. When he was bullied, he could only rely on courage to fight with the other party; But here's the thing. He obviously has other means, but he still has to fight hard with the other party, using the means of killing 800 enemies and losing 3,000 himself, that is, he is too stupid - although Wen Xiuzhi did not say it explicitly, but from the way he looked at himself, Xu Yan really felt this taste.

Looking at Xu Yan thoughtfully, Wen Xiuzhi knew that the other party had indeed listened to his words. Wen Xiuzhi is also a smart person, and he knows the truth of accepting it when he sees it, he smiled and gave Xu Yan a round game: "Brother Yan is a college student, this truth, I don't say that you can definitely figure it out - I also know that things may not be all to blame on you, brother, the reason is so, but people have tempers, if things really happen, even I may not be able to be calm, let alone a young man like you, brother?"

Young man, if you don't have any fire, is that still a young man? After a lot of experience, the elder brother will know how to do it in the future - well, the matter is over, and the elder brother does not need to think about it anymore. Let's go, get in the car, I'll take you somewhere to eat. ”

Xu Yan was surprised: "Ah, Brother Wen, didn't you say that there would be a case summary meeting-"

"Yanzi, this happened to you here, the summary meeting can't be held, and it has been rescheduled - anyway, the forensic and criminal investigation forensics conclusions haven't come out yet, and we'll hold a meeting to summarize after they come out, let's eat first!"

Wen Xiuzhi smiled and looked at Xu Yan, but there was a trace of surprise in his eyes: "However, I see, Brother Yan, you are dressed very energetically today, young man, you seem to have gone to South Korea, right?" Why is it that you are getting more and more handsome, and you are becoming more and more star-no, compared to the last time Xiangcheng broke up, you kid has really changed a lot! ”

Wen Xiuzhi looked at Xu Yan, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes - when they first met two days ago, he noticed that Xu Yan's appearance seemed to have changed somewhat, but at that time, Xu Yan had just gotten off the plane, and this change was not very obvious. In the past two days, because of the pressure on Wang Zhongmao's matter, Wen Xiuzhi didn't pay much attention to it, until now, Wang Zhongmao was solved by Shun lì, Wen Xiuzhi was in a good mood, and relaxed, he noticed the change in Xu Yan's appearance, and then he was shocked - Xu Yan's complexion became whiter, his eyebrows became more handsome, and his height seemed to have become taller, and he had a bit of elegant and free temperament.

What Wen Xiuzhi said just now, Xu Yan is becoming more and more a star fan, he originally said it casually as a joke, but the more he looked at Xu Yan, he suddenly found that even if he got serious, this was really true, Xu Yan was really a star!

Because he usually makes friends with the upper class, Wen Xiuzhi has never seen a star, what idol faction is powerful, he has seen a lot of these people, many famous domestic first-line male stars, even those who take the idol route, after removing makeup, their appearance is actually very ordinary. And like Xu Yan, who has such a handsome appearance and temperament without makeup, it is really far beyond ordinary stars.

"Hey, Brother Yan, don't say you haven't found it yet, you really see that you are really getting more and more star-like-how is it, are you interested in entering the entertainment industry? I know a few idol actors, they don't look as good as you. Are you interested, I recommend you to the director? To tell you the truth, the domestic showbiz. I still know a lot of friends, like some big directors Zhou Qi and Wang Zheng. I'm all very familiar, on your terms. It shouldn't be a problem to help you get a role in which drama - how's it, are you interested? ”

Xu Yan didn't know if Wen Xiuzhi was serious or joking, he could only laugh it off - what kind of joke, his goal was to cultivate the True Avenue and come to the capital to kill a monster, that is, firstly, because he owed Wen Xiuzhi a favor and was not easy to shirk, and secondly, according to Zhu Youxiang's statement. This is also an experience, fulfilling the duty of "slaying demons and eliminating demons" in practice.

As for wanting to be a star or entering the showbiz to develop, some people may like it very much, but in Xu Yan's opinion, those are very illusory and boring lives - compared to the dazzling days of living in the spotlight, Xu Yan prefers an ordinary and low-key life, which is more suitable for Xu Yan's temperament.

Therefore, the mention of Wen Xiuzhi. Xu Yan's reaction was just a smile: "Brother Wen, don't make fun of me, I'm a person, how can I be a star." Brother Wen. I'm still tired......"

"Yanzi, don't pretend, I see you're in good spirits. What are you tired of? Let's go, the world is big. Eat the biggest! Isn't it just a meal? How much time can be delayed, huh? Let's go, let's go. Get in the car, get on the bus! ”

In this way, Wen Xiuzhi dragged Xu Yan into the car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The place where Wen Xiuzhi took Xu Yan to eat was called Xiangzhou Club, and on the way, Wen Xiuzhi briefly introduced the situation of this club to Xu Yan: "Brother Yan, the name of this club is not very big, but everyone in the circle knows that the people in the club are still more particular, and not all messy people can enter." ”

Xu Yan was a little curious: "Brother Wen, I heard in Jincheng that some top clubs recruit cadres at or above the department level, or billionaires with a net worth of more than 100 million, and they can only enter after being introduced by members, is this true?" ”

Wen Xiuzhi smiled and made a "whoosh" sound, and he said with a smile: "There are such high-end clubs, and there must be, and even I have been to a few - there are several in the capital, and there will be no more than ten in the country. Those who do this are all top rich people who are already worried about money, and people are doing this to expand their social circle and influence, and they don't want to earn those few membership fees.

Of course, there are really top clubs, but there are very few, and more clubs are just a name to bluff people, you don't believe them too much, what can leaders above the department level go, most of these things are just gimmicks, so as to appear to be high-end and high-grade. Most of the clubs are for business, and business is just to make money. Take your hometown Jincheng as an example, the governor of Shuchuan Province is just a provincial and ministerial level, if it is a cadre above the department level, the province is so many thousands, just do their business, then you must not lose money? To put it mildly, cadres above the department level, you are embarrassed to make other people's money? Even if those cadres are rich, who is so stupid to spend 180,000 yuan to apply for this membership card? Isn't that clearly telling the Commission for Discipline Inspection that he has a lot of money, and he doesn't think he will die fast enough? ”

Seeing that Xu Yan wanted to speak and stopped, Wen Xiuzhi smiled: "I know that real leaders and officials, people don't spend money to get that membership card, if it wasn't given by the owner of the club, or if it wasn't bought by some bosses who climbed and gave it to those officials, they didn't spend money on themselves...... I even have a few membership cards, which were given by some friends. ”

Xu Yan nodded again and again: "I think so too." ”

"But think about it: since it's a membership card that the boss can buy with money, then there are no strict restrictions - a membership card that can be obtained for money, what is so unusual? It's not about any grade or status at all, it's just a bunch of nouveau riche bragging about their own worth over there - there are so many jokes in this, there are so many baskets. ”

Saying that, Wen Xiuzhi laughed to himself: "Last time, I had a buddy who invited me to a club, and I saw that it was also a very ordinary place, but he bragged to me, saying that this is a great club, what is the richest man in Hong Kong, Li Dacheng, is a member here, and what vice chairman is a senior member here, how difficult it is to get a membership card here, thanks to his uncle is the deputy mayor of the capital, and when he is his introducer, he can get the membership card there - look at his appearance, For example, even if I give him 1.8 million yuan, he will not be willing to give me that membership card.

At that time, I felt very puzzled, even if I haven't been to the famous top club in the capital circle, I have heard of it more or less, but where did such a great venue come out, I have never heard of it at all? Later, taking advantage of the opportunity of my friend to go to the bathroom, I asked the waiter and told him, I want to get a membership card here, I don't know what conditions I want? When the waiter heard this, he smiled on the spot—"

Wen Xiuzhi sharpened his voice and shouted in the voice of a girl: "Sir, do you want to apply for a membership card?" We are now running a preferential promotion and discount activity, the membership diamond card is only 1,888 yuan, the gold card is only 1,688 yuan, and the silver card is only 1,388 yuan......

Before Wen Xiuzhi finished speaking, Xu Yan couldn't stand up straight with a smile, he was panting with laughter, and asked intermittently, "Then, what about later?" How's that friend, doing? ”

Wen Xiuzhi pouted: "How do I know?" Anyway, I haven't seen him since then. ”

Xu Yan hugged his belly and laughed again, panting with laughter, and then, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Wen Xiuzhi: "So, Brother Wen, should we go to that house tonight...... Uh, the one with the diamond card at 88% off, right? ”

The corners of Wen Xiuzhi's mouth smiled, and he shook his head: "That's not so bad-Brother Wen is not so bad, I can't afford to lose my face if I take you to that kind of place." The club we went to tonight is actually a mid-range level, and the people who come and go are mainly people in the entertainment circle, star directors and screenwriters, and the boss is also in the literary circle, and he is a young man who is not bad for money.

According to the boss, he just loves literature and art, wants to play tickets, and doesn't expect to make much money from this club, he just wants to rely on this to meet some elegant friends, and he doesn't want to meet those laypeople - of course, it's just that, but I estimate that if there is really a nouveau riche who is willing to spend a million or hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a membership, I don't think that the product will adhere to any artistic principles, and most of them will recognize the vulgar, after all, artists also have to eat, hehe.
