When Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying returned to the hotel where they lived on Wesley Avenue in Chinatown, they immediately saw Kent waiting in the hall.

Kent took the initiative to greet him, saying that he had been waiting in the hotel for more than an hour.

The hall is not a place for conversation. Xiong Jiandong took Kent into his room.

Hou Yiying silently followed behind.

As soon as he entered the room, Kent immediately apologized and said that due to the handling of Fan Lizhi's case, it was more than ten o'clock when he returned home from the police station last night, so from his father Old John, after getting the button video tape sent by Xiong Jiandong, he did not have time to express his gratitude to the Middle East for saving his life.

Kent said that this button video recorder is very important for his future development, and it has been sent to a special department early this morning.

Xiong Jiandong clearly heard from Kent's words that his current career in the police station was only a temporary transition. The next step will be a great turn of fate for him because of the information in the button video.

Kent asked, he led the team to the police a few hours ago, and accidentally saw Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying appearing in CM.DN company, not just why? If there is any difficulty that needs his help, just ask now.

Xiong Jiandong said: "We went to CM.DN in the morning to meet a person named Lu Zhichao, his female secretary Colini, and the lady named Gesfen, who was receiving us at that time. But I didn't expect that the people of CM.DN would be involved in a murder case. ”

"Lu Zhichao's name, we just had an investigation yesterday, he is the owner of the CM.DN company, and he has had a two-year lover relationship with Fan Lizhi." "It is said that he is currently in Paris and has been there for some time. ”

"Alas, when we came to San Francisco this time, it would be very bad if we didn't get to see Mr. Lu."

Xiong Jiandong said uneasily to Hou Yiying.

"Yes," Hou Yiying also sighed, "I don't know if that Mr. Lu will also be involved in Fan Lizhi's death." ”

"It's hard to say." Kent asked, "But why do you have to meet Lu Zhichao?" ”

"Do you remember that time in the Middle East, did you see a person named Tan Qidart?" Xiong Jiandong asked Kent.

"You're talking about the skinny guy." Kent thought about it, and replied with disdain, "This man is as cowardly as a mouse, and very useless!" ”

"But he is a cronie of Boss Lu in Huaguo." Xiong Jiandong said, "We came to see Boss Lu this time, because this Tan Qidart is not trustworthy and owes us a lot of money, and he has never had a one-way contact with Boss Lu, and the two of them teamed up to defraud us." It's just that there is no evidence. ”

"Why don't you report the case to the police in Huaguo and seek a solution according to law." Kent asked, "Although I have never been to China, I have heard many people tell me that the laws of this country are strict and fair. ”

"In China, the land is indeed a society that pursues fairness and justice." Xiong Jiandong agreed with Kent's words.

But then he shook his head again, and said, "But Mr. Kent, you probably don't know what kind of business we usually handle. Otherwise, why would we take the risk of doing business on the ground in the Middle East! ”

Kent stared at Xiong Jiandong seriously, as if he had an understanding.

"This Mr. Xiong has a complicated background, since he can haunt a place like I•S Country, and he has an inextricable relationship with the Front Brigade of Hulaqid, there must be some interest behind this."

As a law enforcement officer in the United States, Kent was alert to realize that he should not ask Xiong Jiandong any more questions and inquire about too many and too detailed things, so as not to fall into it.

"Okay." Kent concluded, "The reason why I have come in a hurry at noon is not only to see you as soon as possible, but also to convey one of my father's wishes, that you two may, no matter what, go to the house for dinner to-day." When I get off work, I'm home right away. ”

Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying readily agreed immediately.

Seeing Kent away, Xiong Jiandong lit a cigarette and looked out the window, lost in thought.

Hou Yiying pondered the conversation between Xiong Jiandong and Kent just now, and walked to the window.

"What did you think of that about Kent?" Hou Yiying asked, "I think this person is still upright." Are you deliberately trying to disguise our mission and identity from him? ”

"My only consideration at that time was whether I could use Kent's background as a police officer to find a way to bring Lu Zhichao to the table." Xiong Jiandong said worriedly, "Have you thought about it, Fan Lizhi is dead, and I don't know who she will transfer the information she brought from Sanya to." We have to figure it out. ”

"You were still worried that the computer engineer named Qiu Shangji had leaked secret information about the hydrological situation in the South China Sea to Fan Lizhi."

Hou Yiying suddenly laughed slyly and happily.

"Could it be something else?"

Xiong Jiandong sensed from Hou Yiying's smug expression that there seemed to be another clue.

"Looks like I'm going to break discipline." Hou Yiying finally couldn't calm down, "To tell you the truth, all the drawings and data of the intelligence information provided by Qiu Shangji to Fan Lizhi have been reprocessed, not only has no use value, but will lead the opponent astray." ”

It turned out that more than 10 days ago, after the Special Intelligence Bureau discovered Qiu Shangji's frequent contacts with overseas agencies, He Kuishan and Hou Yiying activated the emergency plan that had been prepared long ago on the day they arrived in Sanya, and all the secret information that Qiu Shangji had access to were removed.

And Qiu Shangji, who was deliberately separated from Sanya by the unit, had to return two days later, so he was unaware of it.

Hou Yiying said that she would violate discipline because the handling of this matter was so secret that only Qiao Zong, director of the Special Intelligence Bureau, He Kuishan and Hou Yiying, knew about it.

Even Jiang Dongyu, deputy director of the Secret Intelligence Bureau and head of the Huang Ying Action Group, was kept in the dark.

"Please, keep this matter in your heart, or I'm going to be punished!" Hou Yiying begged.

"Besides, Comrade Xiong Jiandong, I believe you should be able to see that not only in this matter, but even in any other aspect, I have never intended to fortify you now."

There was a pitiful look in her demeanor.

"Comrade Yiying, thank you for your trust in me!"

He put his hands on Hou Yiying's shoulders on both sides, and looked at her with warm and gentle eyes, as if expressing comfort and pouring out his heart's gratitude.
