"Squeak"

Feng Geng opened the door of his office, and then saw Sun Peng with a stunned face outside the door, and immediately laughed and said, "As soon as I heard this coughing sound, I knew that you were here...... Hurry on in! ”

With a smile, Sun Peng naturally walked in.

Although Sun Peng came a lot less often than before after entering the intelligence department, every time he came, he definitely had to chat with Feng Geng for a while, and the two of them were used to it.

After entering the house, Feng Geng was busy pouring water, while Sun Peng asked with some surprise after looking around in the office, "Teacher Feng, where is Fang Linya?" ”

"Transferred."

Putting the glass of water he had just received in front of Sun Peng, Feng Geng said with a flat face: "I heard that I was transferred to the local national security, hehe, a new person will come over in two days." ”

"Oh."

There was a slight surprise, but Sun Peng quickly put this surprise aside. The archive center was originally a place that was not welcomed, and Fang Linya was arrogant, it would be good if he didn't go to the intelligence department to take a turn, since he went to stay for a while, then he would definitely be unbearable to be returned, and it would be a matter of time before he left.

"Ahem......"

As soon as he picked up the cup, Sun Peng suddenly coughed violently, but the water in his hand was still as steady as Mount Tai, and not a drop was spilled.

Looking at Sun Peng with some concern, Feng Geng whispered: "Little Sun, you cough ......"

"It's okay, it's an old problem."

Sun Peng forcibly suppressed the desire to cough, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Teacher Feng, I may have to check some archives here in the next few days, so I'm sorry for you." Also, there's another intelligence agent coming in later, and she's going to work with me. ”

Because of Sun Peng's experience in the archives center, and the fact that he had found old archives from ten or twenty years ago, this mission was possible, but of course the above would not pin all their hopes on him, and a senior archivist would come over to help.

"Hey, what's that talking about!"

Feng Geng was a little unhappy all of a sudden, and immediately stuck to it and said, "Why are you still polite to me?" You sit down for a while, and I'll get you the key to ......" ......

The Archives Center is probably the quietest place in the entire Department of State Security.

With the Chen Jue archives provided by the Third Intelligence Department, Sun Peng found out all the responsibilities he had been responsible for since joining the national security, including the cases he had participated in back then.

"Hehe, that's a lot."

Looking at the hundreds of dossiers on hand, Sun Peng shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"It's not much."

Glancing at the information on the table, Xia Qiu, who worked with Sun Peng, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that this Team Leader Chen seems to be more focused on management work, and rarely goes out to tasks in person, otherwise there will be at least two or three hundred pieces!" ”

Xia Qiu is almost in his fifties, and he is mainly responsible for collecting and sorting out information in the intelligence department, and his temperament is naturally much calmer than Sun Peng.

In essence, the national security agents are really not particularly busy, after all, the country in Xinxia is strong and socially stable, and there are not many opportunities for them to make a move, under normal circumstances, it is normal to have seven or eight per person in a year. But after fourteen or fifteen years like Chen Jue, he has accumulated at least more than 100 of them, and this workload is also quite large for Sun Peng.

"The point is that there is too little information."

Sun Peng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.

A team leader was killed, this is definitely a big case that can shake up and down in the Ministry of State Security, although considering the impact, it is still in the stage of absolute secrecy, but I heard that including the minister above, all the leaders are furious, and they strongly demand that President Qin of the Intelligence Department personally take command and solve the case within seven days! It's a pity that since the incident occurred in the early hours of yesterday morning, no matter how hard the intelligence department spent, it could not find any clues, and the other party was like a ghost, leaving no traces.

If you want to find a needle in a haystack in so many files, you can imagine how difficult it is.

"Let's do it."

With a wave of his hand, Xia Qiu sat down and opened one of the earliest cases in which Chen Jue was involved......

"Ahem! Ahem! ……”

The violent coughing sound was so harsh in the silent secret reading room of the archives center that Sun Peng couldn't help but cover his mouth. Fortunately, it didn't take long for people to go to another room because they couldn't stand it, otherwise they would really be guilty.

"Huh? It seems to have lightened a lot. ”

When his chest finally felt a little more comfortable, Sun Peng suddenly noticed a change in his body. Although the cough is still violent, the feeling of suffocation in the chest has indeed been alleviated a lot this time!

This made Sun Peng overjoyed!

At first, he expected that his painful state would last for at least a week before gradually subsided, and then recover in about a month, but he didn't expect that it would start to improve after only four or five days.

Under this joy, Sun Peng suddenly felt that a day's hard work was nothing.

Lezizi looked at the time, it was almost time to get off work, Sun Peng looked at the table again, and there were less than ten copies left for him.

"Finish it!"

Rolling up his sleeves, Sun Peng's spirit suddenly lifted, and then he buried himself in hard work.

Sun Peng was born in a professional class, and when he was working in the archives center, he didn't know how many files he had looked through, and he had already practiced superhuman speed, and at nine o'clock in the evening, all sixty-seven files were read!

"Gotta get it!"

Just a few minutes after Sun Peng finished reading, there was a knock on the door.

Xia Qiu walked in with a thick stack of files and a frown: "Little Sun, have you finished reading them all?" ”

"I'm done."

Sun Peng hurriedly stood up and nodded.

"Did you find anything?"

Throwing the file on the table, Xia Qiu asked with a headache.

"I didn't find anything, just ......"

Sun Peng hesitated slightly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After looking at the files for a day, Sun Peng really didn't find anything special in his heart, the cases that Chen Jue had participated in or was responsible for before were very clear, either the cases had been closed without any suspicions, or they had completely become headless cases and were locked in the file center. But after reading these files, Sun Peng couldn't help but feel a strange sense of incongruity in his heart!

Chen Jue, the team leader of the Third Intelligence Division, is 41 years old this year. However, in terms of qualifications, he has only been a member of the National Security Intelligence Department for 12 years, and he retired from a special reconnaissance unit at the age of 29. Five years after joining the National Security Division, he was promoted to team leader, and is now considered by many to be one of the candidates for the next head of the 3rd Intelligence Division.

But......

"Detective Xia, I have a little question."

After a moment of silence, Sun Peng Zhengse asked: "If you look at it from the perspective of qualifications, this Team Leader Chen is not a very senior agent, and from the perspective of work performance, his case-solving rate is not high, and as long as it is a serious case or an important case, the success rate is even lower!" But if you look at his position and rank, he was promoted to team leader after just five years in the national security, and the rank of agent was promoted every five years...... I think that doesn't make sense, does it? ”

Sun Peng is not without contact with high-level agents, but without exception, their levels all come from their own strong performance! The agents of the Intelligence Department look at the crime solving rate, and the agents of the Operations Department look at the strength and performance in the operation, but only this Team Leader Chen really makes him a little incomprehensible.

After listening to Sun Peng's words, Xia Qiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him in surprise.

After a moment of silence, Xia Qiu smiled faintly and said, "Little Sun, you are still young, you will understand one thing in the future, and many things may not necessarily come according to the rules...... Now, we still have to focus on our work, and we don't have to worry about these small things. ”

"Uh......"

Sun Peng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then laughed dumbly.

Shaking his head as if laughing at himself, Sun Peng also felt that he was really a little troubled. Although the Ministry of National Security is a powerful place, and the senior agents have conventional privileges, it is also a hierarchical and violent institution after all. As long as there are high and low positions, there can be no pure fairness, how can there be no pettiness in personnel appointments?

Merely......

Looking at the information on the table, Sun Peng's brows quickly wrinkled deeply. I think I can think like that, but Sun Peng still has a lot of questions about this Chen Jue!

According to his personal archives, he is just an ordinary veteran special forces, there is definitely nothing noteworthy about his family background, and his interpersonal relationships are also very ordinary, and yesterday Sun Peng learned from Shangguan Cai that Chen Jue did not have a particularly close relationship with any big leader, so what is going on......
