Text Chapter 14 Passing the Three Levels Next
After about 40 minutes of driving, the car came to a residential area that looked like the 90s, surrounded by such a community, dilapidated houses, the ground is quite flat, the highest floors are only 7 floors, the community is full of thick plane trees, from the outside of the community, you can only see the sides of the two buildings standing side by side, all the others are covered by trees, you can't see really.
There is a plaque hanging at the entrance of the community, with five big characters of "serving the people" written on it, and a couplet is hung on both sides of the door frame, but it is written in cursive, and Ximen Qing does not know it.
There was a guard's room at the door, and in it sat an old man who was reading a newspaper. A yellowed bamboo pole has a stone hanging at the end, which acts as a landing pole for vehicles to enter and exit, how can it look like a community where public officials retire.
The car stopped at the entrance of the community, and the uncle in the guard room put down the newspaper and took a look. got up and came out to help lift the landing lever, and when he passed in front of the uncle, Li Jian greeted the uncle: "Uncle Ying, have you eaten?" The uncle nodded at Li Jian and did not speak, lowered his head and looked at Ximen Qing, who smiled politely at the uncle, and the car drove into the community.
Ximen Qing thought to himself that he was not going to report to the bureau, how to look at this community, how to not have a bit of the style that the National Security Bureau should have, along the way, I saw three or three uncles sitting together chatting, and two old men were playing chess with serious expressions, is there a cave? So he asked suspiciously: "Brother Jian, what is this?" ”
Li Jian didn't speak, just smiled at Ximen, signaling him to be calm, sure enough, after passing through the first few dilapidated residential buildings, probably in the center of the community, there is a 4-story building, surrounded by residential buildings and trees, there is only one entrance to get close to this building, and two personnel are standing guard at the entrance.
This building is nothing special compared to the residential buildings outside, ordinary flat buildings, like a miniature version of the common government building, placed in such a community, although a little different, but in this community is not eye-catching, not a big parking lot, at this time there are four Hongqi cars of the same style parked.
Ximen Qing they arrived at the entrance, Li Jian took the initiative to stop the car, the two inspectors stepped forward, stood in the main cab and the co-driver's cab respectively, Li Jian had already prepared a small green book handed to the inspectors next to the car, and instructed Ximen Qing to take out the ID card to another person, two inspectors took out a machine to verify the identity information very seriously, and compared their faces, saluted Ximen Qing and Li Jian, and let them in.
Ximen Qing is even more strange, although this is a bit of a national security bureau, but such a small building, can accommodate a few people to work, how to say that the national security bureau is also to ensure the existence of national security, the staff has to be thousands, even if this building can accommodate 100 people in one room, it is not enough, is there a base underground, but they are not too crowded. Although the building is cleverly hidden, if there are too many people coming and going, then such an arrangement is completely meaningless. He couldn't figure it out, so he asked Li Jian again: "Brother Jian, this is here?" ”
Li Jian didn't sell it this time, and replied directly: "This is a secret branch of the National Security Bureau, and there are no people here in normal times, mainly dealing with special events, just like you who have special tasks in a country." ”
Hearing Li Jian's answer, he probably understood what kind of existence this was, but he still had questions, but he didn't choose to get to the bottom of it, nodded and didn't speak.
Li Jian looked at Ximenqing's performance, nodded in agreement, and didn't take the initiative to tell anything. led Ximen Qing to the door of a room on the second floor, and told Ximen Qing to sit inside first, and then come over to call him, he had to report to work first, and after speaking, Li Jian turned around and left.
Ximen Qing pushed open the door and found that the environment inside was an ordinary living room, with six single sofas three or three opposite each other, a wooden coffee table in the middle, a pot of Junzi Orchid on it, a one-meter-high cabinet in the corner, a few gaps and a set of boiling water utensils were placed on it, and a surveillance camera was installed in the corner of the wall diagonally above the door, a small balcony, and an anti-theft fence outside.
At this time, on the last sofa in the left row of the room was sitting a young man about 30 years old, like him, also in a suit, leaning on the sofa with a frightened expression. Ximen Qing was stunned, he didn't expect that there were still people in this room, and after a little hesitation, he greeted the young man with a smile: "Hello." ”
But the young man seemed to turn a deaf ear to Ximenqing's appearance, remained motionless, and did not respond to Ximenqing's overtures.
Seeing that the young man ignored him, Ximen Qing shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and did not continue to speak, but circled around the back of the sofa, and he also chose to ignore the young man who ignored him. After seeing the tea set in the corner, he walked over, turned over and found that there were tea leaves in the cabinet, and there was water in the kettle, so he decisively brewed the tea, the cabinet is now uncommon gaiwan tea, this kind of tea set is still a lot when Ximen Qing was a child, and the operation is simple, so put the tea into the tea bowl and rinse it with water.
Ximenqing took out a tea set, put the tea leaves, thought about it, glanced at the young man, picked up another tea set and put it away, and brewed two cups with water.
Ximenqing picked up two cups of gaiwan tea, put a cup on the coffee table in front of the young man, as for whether he drank Ximenqing or not, he didn't care, he walked to the sofa opposite the young man and sat down, learning to see his grandfather drinking gaiwan tea when he was a child, holding the tray in his left hand, picking up the lid with his right hand, dialing the tea leaves in the cup, shaking his head and blowing the tea, and then covering the lid on the teacup, leaving a small slit, and taking a small sip, it was very pleasant.
Ximen Qing took out his mobile phone boringly and swiped the news and interesting things, and drank two sips of tea from time to time, as if he was at home.
Just when he was indulging in it, suddenly the young man opposite spoke, still with a frightened look, and said, "You? Who are you? Why are you here, are you here to report to work? ”
Ximen Qing looked at him and asked, "Dude, what's wrong with you?" I don't know why I'm here, someone gave me 1,000 dollars and brought me in. ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, his panic eased a lot, and he said: "Who are you fooling, how is it possible, not everyone can come in here, you also have a special task to report work, right?" ”
Ximen Qing continued to ramble nonsense: "What task? Don't know? What is your situation, looking at your appearance, is this a pyramid scheme? ”
The young man looked frightened and said: "Someone told me that he wanted me to complete a special task and serve the country, and then the salary was very high and the treatment was very good, so I came, who knew that I would go to prison if I didn't succeed in playing, and I couldn't do it, and if I didn't do it, I would have to go to jail, and I would have to sit for a lifetime." What about you? ”
Ximen Qing was unmoved, and continued to talk nonsense: "Dude, it's very good, the country values you so much, work hard, I am from the supermarket in the outside community, today someone told me to order from me, gave a deposit of 1,000 yuan, let me follow to count the needs of the employees here." What's your special mission? Can you tell me about it? I'm a lover of novels, and I'm very curious. Ximen Qing looked excited, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
The young man didn't seem to find a sense of commonality in Ximen Qing, he was very dissatisfied, and the panic on his face was gone, so he was going to say something. But before the young man could speak, there was a knock at the door, and Ximenqing got up and ran to open the door.
Ximen Qing opened the door and saw an unknown staff member standing at the door, and asked tentatively: "Hello, are you looking for me?" The staff shook their heads with a smile and shouted into the room, "Zhao Cheng, follow me." ”
Ximen Qing turned around and found that the young man named Zhao Cheng walked out with his head down, and he didn't look at Ximen Qing, and followed the staff away.
After the young man left, Ximen Qing didn't say anything, turned around and was about to close the door, when he heard a burst of people around the corner of the corridor who couldn't hold back the feeling of snorting and laughing, Ximen Qing didn't close the door, looked back at the room, it was empty, the tea was almost drunk, and it must be boring to go back and continue to do, just at this time a burst of urine came, so he went out of the room and closed the door, looking for the toilet.
Ximen Qing, who finished going to the toilet, did not return to the room, but ran to the entrance downstairs and went to smoke.
On the other side, after Zhao Cheng went over with the staff, at the corner of the corridor, the staff suddenly snorted and pointed at Zhao Cheng and laughed, Zhao Cheng looked at him with an embarrassed face. The two laughed while coming to a room on the third floor, at this time there were two people sitting in the room, and Zhao Chengchong said to one of them: "Zhang, I'm sorry for you." ”
The two people in the room were Zhang Kai and Li Jian, Zhang Chu didn't look at Zhao Cheng, waved his hand at him, said that it was okay, while writing something on the table, after a while, Zhang Chu picked up a report that had just been written, and the other two on the table, and walked to the fourth floor.
More than 10 minutes later, he returned to the room, and at this time, Li Jian was the only one in the room, and Zhao Cheng and another staff member also left after Zhang left. Zhang Chu said to Li Jian: "Go and call that kid, Zhao Ju wants to see him, my task is also completed, go back to the headquarters, let's go down together." ”
When the two came to the parking lot, they saw Ximenqing and the two inspectors chatting with a cigarette in their hands, and when they got closer, they heard Ximenqing say: "Brother Wang, you won't be the old king next door, right?" To be honest, there is no harm to other people's daughters. But no one answered him, and the two inspectors saw Zhang Chu and Li Jian coming over, hurriedly threw away the cigarette, turned to face the exit, and stood like a javelin.
Because Ximen Qing didn't have his back to the building, he didn't notice the approach of Zhang Chu and Li Jian, and at this time, seeing the reaction of the two eldest brothers, he turned around and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Brother Jian, this is not the Terminator, oh, Uncle Driver?" ”
It turned out that after Ximen Qing went to the toilet, he didn't go back to the room, ran downstairs to smoke, and chatted with the two inspectors. At first, neither of them talked to Ximenqing, but they couldn't stand Ximenqing's self-talk, and finally after Ximenqing gave them a cigarette, the three of them chatted all over the world.
Zhang Chu's face pretended to be indifferent, as if he had never spoken of Ximen Qing, and walked out from the exit.
Li Jian said next to him: "Great official, didn't you wait in the room?" ”
"Brother Jian, it's too boring in the room, I'll come out to breathe and chat with the two big brothers. Who was that big brother driver just now? It doesn't look like a driver! ”
"Don't ask, you'll get to know each other later. Let's go, Liu Ju wants to see you. After Li Jian finished speaking, he led Ximen Qing into the building.
"Brother Jian, who is Liu Ju? I only know that Lu Sanjin is your director. Ximen Qing wondered.
Li Jian was stunned for a while, thinking about why the Lu Bureau didn't tell him anything, but he patiently explained: "Liu Ju is the director of the National Security Bureau, and the Lu Bureau is the deputy director, understand?" ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Ximen Qing was a little nervous, isn't Lu Sanjin directly responsible for himself, why does this Liu Bureau want to see him, where did Lu Sanjin go, what a big official is the director of the National Security Bureau, I can't talk nonsense.
Ximen Qing completely forgot that Lu Sanjin was also the director of the National Security Bureau, and he didn't have a proper relationship with him all day long, and now he was so nervous when he met the director of the bureau who was only half a rank.
Ximen Qing followed Li Jian to a room at the end of the corridor on the 4th floor, Li Jian reached out and knocked on the door, and a thick baritone voice came from inside, "Come in!" Li Jian cautiously pushed open the door and said inside: "Liu Ju, Ximen Qing is here." With that, he let Ximen Qing in, and then Li Jian withdrew from the door and closed the door.
In the room, the decoration is very simple and simple, a desk, a couch opposite, a coffee table in the middle, a very dignified middle-aged man is writing something on the desk, and he did not look up at Ximen Qing, nor did he speak.
Ximen Qing was at a loss, standing or sitting, looking cramped and uneasy, and he didn't know where to put his hands, so he kept the posture he had just entered the door and stood at the door.
The room was very quiet, and even the sound of writing could be heard, Ximenqing seemed to feel that time had stopped, sweating profusely, "Knock. The sound of a heartbeat echoed in my mind.
Just when Ximenqing felt that he was about to lack oxygen, Liu Ju finally stopped writing, looked up at Ximenqing and said, "You are Ximenqing?" ”
Ximen Qing didn't react, and only after a second did he stumble and replied, "Yes, Liu Ju." I'm Ximen Qing. ”
Liu Ju's voice was very threatening, and he pointed to the sofa: "En... Have a seat! ”
Ximen Qing was like a voice-activated robot, and when he heard this, he walked to the sofa step by step and sat down with his interview standards, and did not speak.
After Liu Ju saw his appearance, his voice was full of compulsion and said: "I have three reports here about your performance in the capital today, how many questions do I want to ask you?" I just want to hear the truth. After speaking, without waiting for Ximen Qing to answer, he continued: "First, you have an extra 50,000 yuan in your bag, why don't you report it?" Second, why did you make a choice that does not conform to the psychology of ordinary people? Third, why was there nonsense in the room just now? ”
Ximen Qing's head was still in a short circuit, and when he looked up and saw Liu Ju looking at him with eyes open, he couldn't help but feel nervous again, but it seemed that Liu Ju had a little other meaning in his eyes. Ximen Qing suddenly blessed his heart, understood, sorted out his thoughts, and said nervously:
"Bureau Liu, let me answer your second question first, at first I saw the man with a headphone, I was puzzled in my heart, it's not very strange to come out to cheat and take off his clothes and bring a headphone, I have to say that those three people acted very seriously, and then I also believed that it was really the original wife who caught the rape, but after the woman who called herself Yang Qian climbed into my bed, she unconsciously plucked her ear hair, although I was attracted by beauty, but I still found out that Yang Qian also brought a headphone, I knew in my heart that this was probably a deliberate test or something arranged by the NSA. Now that I understand, I definitely won't be fooled, otherwise I won't be able to take advantage of the cheapness, and it may bring serious consequences, so I chose to sit back in Yanagishita Megumi. ”
Liu Ju nodded and said, "Hmm....continue!"
"After I understood that the three of them were acting, I expected that there must be a camera in the room, and sure enough, after Yang Qian left, I found one on the wall, although it was not obvious, but I didn't need to verify it. There are 50,000 yuan more in the bag, and I came by car and plane from the National Security Bureau the whole time, so this money is self-evident, it must be who deliberately arranged it, plus what happened just now, I understand what kind of drama this may be, but the money sent to the hand is not reasonable, so I chose to count the money in front of the camera, and told the people on the other side of the camera, I accepted it, maybe they didn't find out, I originally wanted to use the money to put a "thanks" on the bed, and then it was too complicated and did not succeed. Hehe, Liu Ju's 50,000 yuan, is it even the activity fund you gave me in Beijing! After Ximen Qing finished speaking, he looked at Liu Ju expectantly.
Liu Ju ignored Ximen Qing's snake beating stick, and his eyes motioned for him to continue speaking.
"As for the third question, the buddy named Zhao Cheng, obviously his acting skills are not as strong as the three at the beginning, although he is very frightened, after I made him a cup of tea, his hand holding the teacup did not tremble at all, as soon as he opened his mouth, he checked my details, I am a salesman, for this kind of person who sets my words, it goes without saying that it must be an unfriendly enemy, then I must be talking nonsense with him, it is estimated that he will not be able to talk anymore, you can also see that if he does not stop him, it is estimated that he will be tricked by me, so he asked someone to call him away. Coupled with the first two incidents, I probably found out what kind of test this is, first with money, then with beauty, and finally with words. Hehe, I guess I'm not wrong. ”
Ximen Qing hesitated for two seconds after speaking, and continued: "Bureau Liu, when I was chatting with the two eldest brothers just now, they said that although you are usually quite serious, you are still very easy-going with the people below. So I guess you didn't get what you expected from the information just now, and then added a fourth test on the fly, to intimidate it with majesty, and to deliberately scare me. ”
After listening to Ximenqing, Liu Ju still kept a straight face and shouted in a low voice: "Do you think you are very smart? Dare to say that I deliberately scared you. Grace .........."
When Ximen Qing heard this, his heartstrings that had already relaxed, and he mentioned his throat again, not knowing how to respond. I heard Liu Ju continue: "Haha, I just deliberately scared you. At this time, Liu Ju no longer had a serious expression, and put on a warm face, looking at him playfully.
