Chapter Twenty-Three: Close Friends
At the same time as Sun Peng returned to the hotel, the capital, the headquarters of Guoan.
"It seems that we have a great little guy in the intelligence department this year!"
After hanging up Zhao Shusen's phone, Shangguan Cai leaned back lightly and half lay on her extremely comfortable chair.
Whenever he encounters something difficult, Shangguan Cai likes to lie down like this, and then close his eyes, as if he is asleep in the eyes of others. And as long as they saw her in this pose, the other subordinates naturally understood that the director was thinking about something important, and as long as it was not a particularly important matter, they would definitely not dare to come in and disturb it.
At this moment, Shangguan Cai was thinking about Zhao Shusen's phone call.
For Sun Peng, Shangguan Cai is undoubtedly very important. In fact, not only her, but also the above are extremely valued, because this kid has indeed shown great potential, and it is worth investing more resources to train him! Even several directors of the Operations Department are also paying attention, because they feel that with Sun Peng's conditions and qualifications, even if they choose the intelligence department now, as long as they understand the gap between various departments in the future, they will still be the people of the Operations Department sooner or later!
This is the reason why he suddenly gave Sun Peng a task.
According to Zhao Shusen's report, the assessment task in Donglin City is too tricky, not to mention Sun Peng, a newcomer, even Zhao Shusen himself has no clue, and if he continues like this, he will not be able to see Sun Peng's personal ability at all.
No matter how strong a newcomer is, he is also a newcomer, which everyone knows very well.
However, in this case, this trip to Donglin is completely meaningless. Just when Shangguan Cai was hesitating whether to transfer Sun Peng back and participate in another mission, she suddenly called her from above, saying that Donglin had an arrest mission and suggested that Sun Peng should participate. Zhao Shusen's periodic report is very appreciative of Sun Peng's calmness, so there is basically no need to investigate his temperament, and the current focus can be placed on actual combat ability.
Just after a little consideration, Shangguan Cai agreed.
Although this kind of task is more often completed by the Operations Division, for intelligence agents, actual combat ability is also very important, especially those really difficult tasks, which test the comprehensive strength of an intelligence agent. It can be said that a real top intelligence agent must be a master who is not weaker than the top agent of the Operations Department!
Shangguan Cai also wanted to test his vision through this task, after all, in the history of national security, there has never been a shortage of examples of outstanding performance in various assessments, but psychological disorders in actual combat.
Assessment and actual combat are two different things, and real swords and real guns are completely different.
It's just that to Shangguan Cai's surprise, Sun Peng refused this mission without hesitation, but this kid's reason is still very sufficient, and it is tenable in any way. As for letting Shangguan Cai directly issue mandatory formal task orders......
Come on!
After pondering for a moment, the chair creaked, Shangguan Cai's body suddenly bounced forward, and then grabbed the phone on the table: "Mr. Qin?" I'm Shangguan Cai. ”
"Well, hello."
Mr. Qin's voice was low and gentle, and he asked lightly, "Is there anything to find me?" ”
Shangguan Cai nodded and said, "Yes, about Sun Peng, a newcomer in our department, he clearly refused to participate in the arrest operation in Donglin City. ”
"What? For what? ”
After listening to Shangguan Cai's words, Mr. Qin's voice was obviously displeased.
"He said he wasn't interested."
The leader was angry, but Shangguan Cai was not in a hurry, and replied softly: "Of course, he also made it clear that if I am willing to give him a formal order, he will definitely participate, but if there is no formal order, it will be impossible." ”
"Oh? Not interested? ”
This time, after a slight pause, Mr. Qin suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Hehe, yes, this kid is a little interesting......"
Shangguan Cai didn't answer, but waited quietly with the microphone, in fact, how to deal with this matter Shangguan Cai had already made a decision in his heart, but he couldn't give orders. In any case, Sun Peng is her direct agent, and it is better to leave some things to the above.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mr. Qin's deep voice to come over again: "Since he said that he needs a formal order, let's give him one!" In any case, as a prospective agent, he must understand that in the big collective of national security, cooperation and team spirit are the most important! ”
Nodding silently, Shangguan Cai still didn't speak.
"I'll send the order to the intelligence department in a moment."
After a pause, Mr. Qin smiled faintly: "In view of the fact that trainee detective Sun Peng's assessment task in Donglin City has not made progress for a long time, the assessment will be treated as a failure. However, due to the difficulty of the case itself, it cannot be used as the final assessment result, so it is recommended that the intelligence department arrange a new assessment task, and it is better to randomly perform another task nearby! ”
"Uh......"
Shangguan Cai was stunned when he heard this, and when he finally opened his mouth to say something, Mr. Qin made a final decision and said in a deep voice: "Okay, that's it, execute it immediately!" ”
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a snap.
"This old fox!"
Liu raised his eyebrows, and the expression in Shangguan Cai's eyes changed, and then after scolding angrily, he slapped the microphone on the table.
But soon, the corners of Shangguan Cai's mouth curved and he laughed silently.
Shangguan Cai was reluctant to put pressure on Sun Peng directly, so he handed over the only solution to the above to speak, but it was obvious that even Mr. Qin was not interested in this and kicked the ball back. Fortunately, after all, the above still gave him an order, so that he could share at least half of the pressure, which is not bad.
Picking up Zhao Shusen's evaluation of Sun Peng in the past few days on the table, Shangguan Cai's eyes flashed: "Sun Peng, Sun Peng, you kid is not interested, it's simple, we are in trouble here." ”
If Sun Peng is just an ordinary newcomer, let alone Mr. Qin, even Shangguan Cai himself doesn't have the heart to make such trouble, and if he doesn't want to participate, he won't participate, either he will fail the assessment, or he will be used as an ordinary agent in the future. But that kid is too good in every aspect, as long as he is trained properly, he is likely to be a big trump card in the intelligence department in the future!
Which of such subordinates doesn't like it and doesn't value it?
Therefore, whether it is Shangguan Cai in the intelligence department or President Qin in charge of the intelligence department, they are willing to spend their time and mind to ponder these things.
As for saying that Sun Peng didn't give face to the bigwigs, they were all ignored by Shangguan Cai and Mr. Qin intentionally or unintentionally, even Zhao Shusen, who was far away in Donglin, didn't take it seriously. Everyone understands that the Ministry of State Security is not an administrative agency of other countries, and in many cases it cannot make mistakes, and if it makes mistakes, it will cause irreparable impact and losses. The Intelligence Department and the Operations Department are the places that pay the most attention to personal strength and ability, so as a leader, being able to tolerate and control capable subordinates is one of the most basic requirements.
Especially for newcomers like Sun Peng, it is normal to have a little temper, and it will be cultivated slowly in the future, but as long as he can grow up quickly, then Shangguan Cai and they will be able to get enough rewards.
Ten minutes later, an order signed with the name of President Qin was issued to the intelligence department, and after Shangguan Cai glanced at it, he immediately handed over another order that had already been signed to his secretary.
Soon, Zhao Shusen, who was far away in Donglin City, received a call from the capital.
After checking the necessary information, Zhao Shusen shook his head with a wry smile and dialed Sun Peng's mobile phone......
"You mean, you think those teenage bloodsucking incidents are related to Li Ying, but you're not sure?"
Looking at Cao Jiali, who was flustered but had a very resolute attitude, Sun Peng asked with a frown.
"Yes."
Nodding, Cao Jiali replied honestly: "You also know that we are responsible for this series of cases, Li Ying is more concerned about them, and often asks about some things. But the specific reason was never told to me, and I didn't dare to ask, so I ...... It's just speculation. ”
After speaking, Cao Jiali looked at Sun Peng with a worried face, for fear that he would not be satisfied with this answer.
After pondering for a moment, Sun Peng then asked, "Is the murder case two weeks ago related to her?" ”
"I really don't know what to do with this."
Without any hesitation, Cao Jiali immediately shook her head.
Hearing this answer, Sun Peng's brows furrowed even deeper. If it is someone else, Sun Peng can also try to listen to the other party's heartbeat and so on to judge the truth of the words, but for Cao Jiali, this method is obviously not applicable.
"Okay, second question!"
didn't dwell on it for too long, Sun Peng quickly put his mind on the next question, and asked indifferently: "You said that you have known Li Ying for more than three years, so in the past three years, has anything strange happened to you?" Or rather...... Has she ever done anything strange to you? ”
"Huh?"
After hearing this question, Cao Jiali's expression twisted, and she suddenly became embarrassed.
Seeing Cao Jiali's expression, Sun Peng suddenly felt a little strange, but soon he found that his words were indeed problematic, and a very fragrant scene instantly appeared in his mind......
Grinning slightly embarrassed, Sun Peng hurriedly said, "Don't think about your little thing!" I mean other things, like physical changes and so on. Don't tell me no, I know very well that you are different from normal people, and I think you should understand it yourself! ”
"Yes, once."
Biting her lip, Cao Jiali seemed to hesitate, but she still said calmly: "Once when I woke up in the morning, she suddenly told me that it would be different in the future, but she refused to mention the specifics. Later, I tested it myself, and my strength, speed, and endurance have improved a lot, and my body has also strengthened a lot......"
Cao Jiali was still talking about the changes in her body in detail, but Sun Peng's mind was no longer there.
Sun Peng was already sure that the demonic power on Cao Jiali and Qin Sha was because of what Li Ying had done to them, which changed their physique. So the key is whether this change is reversible, if it is reversible, then things will be easy to do, but if it is not reversible, Sun Peng will have a complete headache......
"Jingle Bell ......"
Just when Sun Peng was entangled in his heart, the mobile phone on his body suddenly rang.
"Sun Peng, come back immediately, this is an order!"
Zhao Shusen's voice was very solemn and full of undoubted taste.
Sun Peng didn't hesitate, and immediately nodded and said, "It's good, forty minutes." ”
After hanging up the phone, Sun Peng didn't see any other emotions on his face, and he didn't mean to leave immediately, he still calmly said to Cao Jiali: "Very good, Officer Cao, the following is the last question." ”
Hearing this, Cao Jiali's emotions immediately became tense.
Putting the phone back in his trouser pocket, Sun Peng asked in a deep voice: "I need to know that in this city, how many friends does that Li Ying have like you?" Of course, I mean friends who are as close as you are......"
