Chapter 56: There Are Others in the Bureau
Of course, I can't say what Virus Zhang is going to do, and his sociological ideas shouldn't be a secret to Xiang Ci, but if I say it, it will inevitably involve Ying, which I don't want to see.
"I don't know." I mumbled, and then diverted the conversation elsewhere, "Mayor Xiang, I found a question, and I hope you can answer it for me." ”
"Oh? You said! Xiang Ci was a little absent-minded.
"I think tonight's events, including the conflict between the city and the epidemic people, are the result of someone deliberately guiding, with the purpose of detonating the contradiction between you and Er Li. But I don't understand the ultimate purpose of this man. ”
"What's the basis for that?"
"It's easy! Tonight's attack was not done by Er Li's people, and I don't believe Er Li's defense, but I speculate about a series of things that followed, and I am very sure of this. And the purpose of this series of attacks, one is to force Er Li to really do it to me, and the other is to force me to do it to Er Li, no matter which one is the rhythm of war. I analyzed.
"I have thought of this, and I am very relieved that Er Li can give in and take care of the overall situation in this situation." Xiang Ci said.
"Secondly, have you ever wondered what the contradictions between inside and outside the city are causing and why they can't be resolved?"
Xiang Ci didn't answer my question and fell into deep thought.
"I think so, the cause of the contradiction is nothing more than that you provide natural food to the plague people, while the people in the city can only eat unpalatable synthetic food. I don't deny that the appetite is a great desire, but the simple appetite of the appetite cannot cause such a deep contradiction! ”
"Tell me your reasons!"
"Tonight I came into contact with a guard, and he told me about the situation of the people in the city, and I found that the food supply of the people in the city is not very abundant, and it takes hard work to get enough food. These people are ordinary people, a group of ordinary people who can only eat and have little power, their first goal is definitely to eat well rather than eat well, I believe that dissatisfaction with food and taste is not enough to support this hatred, as long as a little guidance can put their ** on hard work in exchange for food and clothing. People are like this, as long as they can make do with life, no one will want to rebel, and now the situation in the city is a little strange, if no one deliberately guides this hatred, I don't believe it if you kill me. ”
"You have a point." Xiang Ci groaned, "Do you suspect Virus Zhang? ”
"Just suspicion! Just after we were attacked, he jumped out to help me find Erli, and the timing was right, and the accuracy of the information made me have to be suspicious. My thoughts are getting more and more open, "Only him is not enough, I believe that there are people in your institute doing this, I once asked Chang Cheng why they can only eat natural food, his answer is that your research institute has done experiments, non-natural food can cause the worsening of diseases, at the beginning I also believed that there may be a certain relationship between synthetic food and mitochondria, but just now I suddenly thought that the sugar that mitochondria are in contact with is originally a single substance, How can such a microscopic process be altered by the source of the food? So I conclude that this result is a conspiracy! ”
Xiang Ci pondered for a long time, and slowly spoke: "I haven't confirmed this experiment, and even if you propose it, I won't confirm it, after all, human life is at stake." ”
One thing suddenly occurred to me, "No need to be sealed, I know of a plague man who probably eats synthetic food all the time!" ”
"Where?" Xiang Ci asked.
"If you're not going to kill me, I'll take you to him after dawn!" I said to Xiang Ci.
"Why do you think I'm going to kill you?" Xiang Ci smiled suddenly, and the eyebrows were pulled wider apart, lacking the sense of disobedience that was too blank.
"That Willows said that a disobedient knife is not a good knife!" I smiled.
Xiang Ci said: "If I go to war with Er Li tonight, you will be used to sacrifice the flag, but the current situation is different, you are Er Li, why should I kill you?" ”
"What you said is straightforward enough, but if you didn't think about killing me, you will become Er Li, from now on, the power is in your hands, and your ideal must be faster!"
Xiang Ci shook his head, "Not necessarily, people like Er Li only have struggle in their eyes, but his final understanding is good, no matter which side wins, there is its one-sidedness, if you want to succeed, cooperation is the best way!" ”
I smiled, "Mayor Xiang, you are such a kind person, I agree with your idea, but I have other plans." ”
"You're leaving?" Xiang Ci asked.
Before that, I really thought about leaving, after all, without Erli, Xiang Ci acted without hindrance, and the contradictions in the city could be resolved soon, and I could be regarded as having completed Chang Cheng's commission and retired. But now I find that I can't go, after all, as I said before, my surname is Xia.
"My plan is that as long as there are hills in the city, the troublemaker will not die down, and we will have a chance to seize him." I leaned back and asked another question, "Mayor Xiang, why don't you think this person is a virus?" ”
Xiang Ci did not explicitly deny that this person was Virus Zhang, but it could be seen from her performance that although she didn't like Virus Zhang Qiren, she didn't doubt him at all.
Xiang Ci's expression was a little strange, "After the epidemic was over, I established this research direction, but at that time, a city became a country, and the political struggle was very complicated, and my research was obstructed by many people, and then those people died, and it was the virus Zhang who killed them......"
"Why?" I didn't expect there to be such a story, and I was a little surprised, the first thought was that Virus Zhang wanted to control her on the tip of the wind to achieve her own goals.
"For some personal reasons, you don't need to know, just be sure that he will never do anything against me!" Xiang Ci whispered.
Private reasons? I can't help but start thinking about it, could it be that Zhang still has thoughts about Xiang Ci? Looking at Xiang Ci's fiery figure, I presumed in my heart.
"If not him, who would it be? I know very few people in this city, and I don't know who else is capable of doing this. ”
"He must have told you about the trio, right?" Xiang Ci asked.
I nodded, and it was the statement of this three-person group and the two mayors of Li that made me think that the two Li were two people.
"The three-person team is composed of me, Er Li and Vice Mayor Li Shan, I and Er Li have our own research directions, and Li Shan is the first leader of the army!" Xiang Ci said.
"First Chief? So what's going on with Jiang Quan? ”
After stabilizing the situation, the trio had a great disagreement, and Li Shan, as a soldier, advocated annexing the surrounding forces one by one and gathering forces to defeat Gega. His idea takes up too many resources, and the direction is even more contrary to ours, especially since this idea has proven to be completely unworkable, and at the beginning of the cataclysm, the entire army was still defeated in the east against Gega, not to mention our troops. ”
"And then?"
"Later, he wanted to launch a mutiny, but he was detected by the virus Zhang in advance, entered the camp alone, and killed him!" Xiang Ci said.
"So Jiang Quan took the opportunity to take the position?" I asked.
"Jiang Quan is a person with more ability but less scheming, if it is said that he will seize this opportunity to seize the military power, I don't think it can be believed. He and Virus Zhang were classmates when they were young, and the relationship between the two families was good, and I think Virus Zhang played a big role in his matter. Xiang Ci said.
So powerful! I suddenly felt that this virus Zhang was really unfathomable, and now it seems that he actually promoted the formation of the current pattern with the power of one person, and I definitely underestimated him before.
But this matter seems a little incredible, virus Zhang can enter the barracks and kill the first chief with his own strength and still get out of the whole body, the difficulty of this thing is not ordinarily high, and in the end, the army can be absorbed, this is definitely a myth! Something like this, is it possible?
"Do you believe that?" I asked Xiang Ci.
"That's how it turned out, and there's no way to believe it." Xiang Ci spread his hands and said, "No matter what the truth is, the situation is stable, the whole city is on the right track, these things that have passed, I don't have the energy or interest to investigate." ”
"I don't believe it!" I still insisted on my topic, "Jiang Quan has no status and no prestige in the army, how can he take over military power so simply?" It's like I can do it even if I kill someone, but I definitely don't have that ability to integrate the army! Still, I did something similar tonight, don't you think there is a lot of similarity between the two? ”
"You're saying they made some kind of deal?" Xiang Ci asked.
"Not bad! Under the circumstances at that time, the three-legged position and mutiny were definitely not a good choice, and I believe that Li Shan could also recognize this, so he also made a similar choice to Er Li when facing Virus Zhang. I believe that the person who is stirring up the situation now is Li Shan, and it can even be said directly that it is Virus Zhang! "I got a little excited and stood up.
Xiang Ci didn't speak, I paid attention to her expression, but I didn't find any clues, and after a long time, I had to speak: "Mayor Xiang, I'm just suspicious, of course I can't just arrest him, the focus at the moment has not changed, are you right?" ”
Xiang Ci finally had a little reaction and jumped off the table, "Congratulations on finally becoming my partner!" ”
I stretched out my bloodied hand and shook it with her, smiling and saying, "Actually, it's just that you didn't notice it." "But I said in my heart that I don't know if I have fallen into Er Li's plan, and everything will be clear at dawn, and I hope that everyone will not be ugly when the time comes.
Xiang Ci said: "Si'an, you are really a smart person, you didn't say anything about tonight, but I was taken out a lot of things by you." ”
"It's too polite to the mayor, thinking that he may be born as Gega in the next life, what else do you have to share with each other as human beings in this life?"
