Chapter 201: Intelligence
Daniel drank the vodka from the cup, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes changed a lot. He changed his previous amiable and harmless demeanor, but became very dignified. He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Mr. Gong Xiping, in fact, you are not an ordinary person, are you?" ”
Gong Xiping was not surprised by the change in Daniel. For he had already detected from the very beginning that Daniel was deliberately babbling gibberish and saying such inexplicable things. As for his question, Gong Xiping was not surprised, because Daniel had A-level strength, and it was not unusual to perceive anything at all.
Gong Xiping didn't hide it, and said honestly: "That's right, I'm not an ordinary person. ”
Daniel smiled a little smugly, "Sure enough, that's right." Because the first time you met, you didn't pay attention to Dr. Abel, but focused on me. It's clear that you're perceiving something. So, you're certainly not an ordinary person. ”
"Yes, I do realize that you're actually a master."
"Master?" Daniel didn't understand the word Gong Xiping used in English.
"Oh, that's a strong meaning."
"Well, that's right." Daniel nodded.
"And as far as I can speculate, someone like you shouldn't be an ordinary bodyguard."
Daniel smiled and said, "Yes, absolutely. I am an agent of the Italian military, and I have been assigned to the security of Dr. Abel. ”
Gong Xiping nodded, he expected that a person with Daniel was definitely not an ordinary bodyguard.
"Well, tell me, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"
Obviously, Daniel's encounter with Gong Xiping was not accidental, but he came to Gong Xiping on purpose. And he said that he meant to have a drink, in fact, he wanted to talk to Gong Xiping.
"Based on the information I've gotten, there's something wrong with this seminar."
Gong Xiping was secretly surprised, but said quietly on his face: "What's the problem?" ”
"Did you know that the itinerary for this seminar has been changed?"
"I know that it started in late January and ended after only two or three days. But now the trip has been brought forward and extended to two weeks. ”
"Absolutely. At first, everyone thought it was a temporary change decision made by Dua, so they didn't care about anything. However, just before Dr. Abel and I left for Spain, I was given an important piece of information. ”
"What information?" A hint of foreboding rose in Gong Xiping's heart.
"Not long ago, the police cracked a drug trafficking case and smashed several mafia strongholds. However, when the police searched the stronghold, they unexpectedly found several undisposed bodies. After questioning the perpetrators, the police learned that the bodies had no identity and no origin, and that they had been specially entrusted by others to dispose of them. They have already disposed of 3 batches, and this is the last one that was found. The corpses all have one thing in common, that is, the heads are all opened, and the brains are all gone. Subsequently, the police followed the vine and found the client who entrusted the mafia with disposing of the body. Through the interrogation of the client, the police found the contact person again. ”
"Contact? Liaison? ”
"That's right, liaison. It turns out that a huge secret organization is involved. We don't know anything about this secret organization, except that it has liaison officers in various countries around the world who are responsible for delivering information on behalf of the organization. And after the interrogation by the police and finally our special department, we actually found out that it was related to this academic seminar of DUA. The agents we sent in the early stage have conducted a secret investigation and found that there are many suspicious changes to the itinerary of this academic seminar, so we confirm that there are problems in this academic seminar. ”
Mysterious organization, bizarre brainless corpses. When Gong Xiping heard this information, he suddenly understood why Ouyang Xue was sent to Spain on a business trip. Lingyun, this kid, really has a lot of things to hide from himself.
"Why are you telling me this?" Gong Xiping asked.
Daniel smiled and said, "If I say I think we're more compatible, would you believe me?" ”
"I don't believe it." Gong Xiping replied very dryly.
Daniel spread his hands and said, "It's really cold." After a pause, he added, "I'm telling you this because I think you're going to help me." ”
"Help you? What does it help you? ”
"Investigation. I'm going to take a look at all the people who participated in the symposium, as well as the person in charge of the dua. ”
Gong Xiping looked at Daniel and said, "Are you so sure that I will help you?" Aren't you afraid that I'm also a problem? ”
Daniel smiled and said, "Trust my instincts. I'm an experienced agent, so my instincts are pretty accurate. ”
Gong Xiping shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mr. Daniel, you are also an agent no matter what, and this kind of unfounded intuition is not at all like the style of an agent. Gong Xiping borrowed Guan Shanyue's words just now and sarcastically mocked Daniel.
Daniel smiled a little awkwardly, "Okay, okay, I'll be honest with you." In fact, based on the recovered corpses and the analysis of the intelligence we have, it is likely that this mysterious organization is conducting secret brain research. At present, the most eye-catching research topic of DUA is the research proposed by Dr. Guan on the storage and reading of human brain memory. Therefore, Professor Guan himself and you are naturally excluded. Whether you want to cooperate with me or not, I tell you this information, and there is really no threat to me. ”
Gong Xiping looked at Daniel and was silent for a while. After 2 minutes, Gong Xiping finally spoke: "Okay, I'll cooperate with you." ”
Daniel laughed and said, "That's great. ”
"So, what should I do?"
"I'm in charge of the main investigation. However, there are some surveys that may require your cooperation, so I will ask for your help when the time comes. ”
"Under what circumstances do I need to cooperate with the investigation?"
Daniel smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I can't say this for now. You'll find out when the time comes. ”
Gong Xiping shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Okay, if you don't say it, I'm not reluctant." ”
Daniel raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Come, I wish us all the best in cooperation." ”
Gong Xiping picked up the orange juice in his hand, gently clinked glasses with Daniel, and then drank the orange juice in one gulp. Daniel craned his neck and drank the vodka from his glass again.
The clever waiter once again filled the cups of Daniel and Gong Xiping. Moreover, he actually remembered that Daniel drank vodka, and Gong Xiping drank orange juice.
Daniel picked up the wine glass, looked at the wine in the glass, and said with a smile, "I have heard a lot about Dr. Guan with Dr. Abel. ”
"The two of them seem to have a good relationship."
"Dr. Abel said that the whole DUA is a group of bastards who only think about fame and fortune all day long, and only the Ph.D. is the real scientist, and the scientist who will sacrifice everything for the cause of scientific research."
Gong Xiping nodded and said, "In a way, he's pretty good. ”
"I heard that Dr. Guan was a merry man when he was young, and there were many beautiful women around him."
"Really?"
"Don't you know? Looks like Dr. Kwan didn't mention it to you. ”
"Even if he mentions it, I'm not interested in hearing it."
Daniel looked at Gong Xiping and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't seem to be interested in things between men and women. It's just that you're still a handsome and dashing young man. You don't have another kind of love, right? ”
Gong Xiping took a sip of orange juice and said lightly: "My orientation is completely normal, I just don't like to keep talking about women." This is somewhat disrespectful to the female surname. ”
"How can this be called disrespectful?"
"Women are human beings, not trophies for men to show off, let alone toys for men. Therefore, I think that instead of talking about women, men should think more about women's feelings. ”
After Gong Xiping finished speaking, Daniel couldn't help but applaud. He said sincerely: "You are really different from the people I know in country Z. Because in my impression, the people of country Z despise women's surnames very much, and always think that men should dominate everything about women. It seems that I still don't know enough about the people of country Z, I don't know enough about it! ”
"What you see and what you come into contact with is only a part, not the whole thing."
"Hehe, you're right. Come on, I'll punish myself for a drink. Daniel said, taking another sip of vodka from his glass.
Daniel seems to have a good amount of alcohol. Because he's been doing it several times in a row since just now. Moreover, vodka is a strong drink, and if ordinary people drink it like him, they will already be drunk and unconscious.
However, no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, there will always be times when you get drunk. After a few more drinks, Daniel said that he was a little dizzy and wanted to go to sleep.
Gong Xiping looked at his watch, and it was almost 10:58 a.m. Spanish time. It's really rare to see someone like Daniel who drinks and gets drunk in broad daylight. And what he shows seems to be a lot different from the age he seems.
Daniel got up to say goodbye and left, and Gong Xiping sat down for a while before leaving. In fact, drinking is nothing for Gong Xiping, he is also a person who often goes in and out of bars, and the amount of alcohol is not nothing. It's just that in this environment, he didn't dare to be careless when he noticed the existence of an S-level master just now. Besides, this is Spain, not China, so you have to be cautious.
According to Guan Shanyue, the first day of the seminar usually lasts for a whole day, and he will not even come out for lunch. So, he had to spend a day in this auditorium. However, for Gong Xiping, waiting for someone is nothing, he can even lie motionless in the grass for a few days, and it is very easy for him to wait for a day like this.
He walked around again and found that in the corner of the auditorium, there was an area dedicated to reading. It's not a big place, but there are a variety of books inside. However, considering that there are many people from different countries and different languages, there are books in various languages, and the number and variety of books in each language are much less. Even so, Gong Xiping still found the book he wanted to read.
"Sun Tzu", this is an ancient book, and it is also in the classical Chinese version. Although there are notes and notes underneath the original text, as well as some relevant background introductions and explanations, it can still seem laborious without a little foundation. Gong Xiping originally liked history books, and he also had a certain amount of research on classical Chinese and other things, so it seems that there is no difficulty at all. Besides, he can already recite "Sun Tzu" backwards, and he can't be familiar anymore. And not long ago, he and Li Mengjie had a small debate about a story about his grandson.
Every time he watches "Sun Tzu", he will get a lot of insights from it. So, he loved the book. He doesn't like to read the notes, because the views and opinions in the notes represent only the editor's point of view. He prefers to read between the lines and comprehend by himself. Therefore, every time he watches "Sun Tzu", he has different feelings.
Just as he was looking carefully, he heard a wonderful voice say in somewhat stiff English: "I'm sorry, is there anyone sitting in this position?" ”
Gong Xiping raised it and looked at it, an Asian beauty with black hair and yellow skin who looked a little charming, but had a very pure temperament, was looking at him with a somewhat shy expression. Because I just saw it, I recognized it at a glance, this beauty is the one I saw just now, the granddaughter of Noriko Mishima, Shizuka Mishima.
When his eyes came into contact with Kosaihei's face, Shizuka Mishima's originally shy expression became more and more shy. Her face was slightly red, she nodded slightly, and said in standard Chinese, "It turned out to be you." ”
Gong Xiping also showed a shallow smile and said, "There is no one here, just me." ”
Shizuka Mishima breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and then sat down in the seat next to Gongxiping. When she sat down, there was a faint scent of jasmine, which smelled good and had a sweet feeling.
Just as she sat down next to Gong Xiping, Gong Xiping quickly glanced around. This reading area was originally not large, and some of it was occupied by bookshelves, so there were not many places. Gong Xiping glanced at it just now, and in the entire area, it was indeed only the position next to him that was empty.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Being away from home and in a foreign country had to make him doubly cautious. Years of special forces career have made him develop the habit of being on high alert anytime and anywhere.
"What are you reading?" Shizuka Mishima put the few books she was holding in her arms on the table, then glanced at the books in Gongxihei's hand and asked.
"Grandson."
"Grandson? Well, I've read this book many times. However, it seems to be all about war. ”
Gong Xiping glanced at the book in his hand and said: "Actually, although the book "Sun Tzu" is about wartime strategies, if it is slightly changed, it can also be applied to today's era of peace. ”
Shizuka Mishima didn't seem to be very interested in this topic, but just smiled lightly and said, "Oh, maybe." ”
As she spoke, she opened the book in her hand and looked down. Seeing this, Gong Xiping also looked at the book by himself.
