Ke Yongliang and Mei Ting walked into the office of Nalan Zhimin, director of the Congzhou Municipal National Security Bureau. Ke Yongliang asked, "Why don't you let us investigate what happened last night?" ”

Nalan Jimin sat at his desk, browsing the news on the Internet. She lowered her head a little so that her gaze was above the frames of her glasses. "Are you questioning me, Detective Ke?"

Mei Ting hurriedly apologized for her partner's recklessness: "I'm sorry, Director Nalan. Lao Ke's 'sex' is more anxious, and he speaks more straightforwardly, without disrespect. ”

Nalan Jimin nodded slightly. "Sit down."

Two detectives sat in chairs across from their desks. Nalan Zhimin folded his legs and crossed his fingers, and said: "The National Security Agency is not the only one of you two agents, and it is impossible to 'hand' everything to you to investigate. Besides, as the director of the bureau, I am not obliged to report to the two of you on who will do what things, right? ”

"I'm sorry, Director." Ke Yongliang knew that he was indeed a little rude just now, he calmed down and said, "I didn't mean to offend you, but I just couldn't figure it out, so I came to ask." You know that Mei Ting and I are in charge of investigating the incident related to Mingde Class 13. The strange thing that happened last night is clearly related to the people of Class 13, why don't you let us investigate? ”

Nalan Zhimin groaned and said, "How did you learn about this?" News? ”

"Yes, it's ironic to say that the members of our two special 'departments' who are responsible for investigating this matter actually saw it on the TV news more than ten hours after the incident." Ke Yongliang said, "It's just that we didn't participate in the investigation, and no one told us that this happened." ”

"That was my negligence, and I really should have told you." Nalan Zhimin confessed.

"Director Nalan, this incident has now become a major news sensation across the country and even the world. TV, Internet, newspapers, magazines...... Various media outlets covered the matter. I heard that tonight, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Russia, South Korea and other countries will also report on this incident on TV international news. I'm sure you've read the various reports as well. What we want to know is, are these reports true? Mei Ting asked.

"I've just looked at a couple of big websites – almost every one of them has an element of pompousness. The newspaper was also relatively conservative. But in general, everyone is blind and 'touching' the elephant, just making different guesses, and no one knows the truth. Nalan Jimin said.

"Sounds like you know?" Ke Yongliang pointed out keenly.

"If only I had such great powers," Nalan Jimin smiled bitterly. "This matter involves UFOs, how can it be so easy to investigate?"

Mei Ting said in surprise: "So the report is true, the news on the Internet is not exaggerated, cheering - did anyone really witness UFOs?" ”

"I'm afraid it can only be true, it is said that there were more than a dozen people who witnessed UFOs at that time - these people are very far away and have nothing to do with each other, it is impossible for them to collude to lie." "But unfortunately, none of them were able to take pictures for the same reason – the flying saucer was so fast that they were not allowed to react." But they all agreed that the flying saucer was flying in the direction of Fuxi Forest Park. As a result, more than ten minutes later, Fuxi Forest Park turned into a sea of fire. ”

Although Ke Yongliang is not a UFO 'fan', he can't help but 'agitate' at this time: "There are really UFOs and aliens!" ”

Mei Ting kept her calm and asked, "Let's say this is really the work of aliens - why are they doing this?" Is there any point in setting fire to an entire forest park? ”

Nalan Jimin shrugged his shoulders: "I can't analyze this matter with alien thinking and logic. ”

"But one thing is for sure, this matter has something to do with Mingde Class 13." Ke Yongliang pointed out, "The news said that a body was found in Fuxi Forest Park, and after police investigation, it was a young man named Lu Ping - one of the members of Class 13. ”

Nalan Jimin nodded silently and did not speak.

"This man named Lupin must have some connection to the flying saucer that came on suddenly." Ke Yongliang further specified.

"That's right." Nalan Jimin admits lightly, apparently having thought of this a long time ago.

Ke Yongliang couldn't control his emotions again, and said anxiously: "Shouldn't we investigate what is going on?" Even aliens are involved! God knows what other 'tricks' these superpowers in Class 13 will play?! ”

Nalan Jimin reminded: "I didn't care, as soon as I received the news, I sent agents to investigate the matter." ”

"Okay, back to the old question." Ke Yongliang said, "Matters related to Class 13 have always been in charge of Mei Ting and me, why don't we investigate this matter?" ”

"I repeat - as the Director, I have my considerations, and I have no obligation to inform you." Nalan Jimin said.

Ke Yongliang and she looked at each other for half a minute, and the atmosphere was suffocating. Mei Ting frowned uneasily on the side.

"Okay, Director Nalan, you are our superior, and there is really no need to explain anything to us about the work arrangement." "But I must remind you that in this matter, we are not only superiors and subordinates, but also partners. As you know, Mei Ting and I were originally police officers, and it was because of this incident that you were seconded to the National Security Bureau. If we can't be honest with each other, it is clear that there will be a divide. Let me be blunt, Director Nalan – it's clear that you're hiding something from us – and this distrust will seriously affect our enthusiasm for the future. ”

Mei Ting secretly applauded in her heart - what Ke Yongliang said was reasonable, and it obviously formed a certain deterrent to Nalan Zhimin, who had always been arrogant.

Looking at Nalan Zhimin's appearance, it seems that no subordinate has ever spoken to him in such a 'tone' before. She looked a little embarrassed and annoyed, but she couldn't refute it, and after a long pause, she only said, "I don't distrust you, it's just that I ......" She hesitated slightly. "This matter is not a decision made by me, but a 'handover' from above."

Ke Yongliang and Mei Ting glanced at each other. Mei Ting asked, "What are you referring to when you say above......?"

"That's right, Ministry of State Security."

Mei Ting said in surprise: "After you reported this matter to the people from the Ministry of State Security, they deliberately 'handed over' this matter to avoid us and find other agents to investigate?" Why? ”

Nalan Zhimin sighed irritably: "I don't know why. ”

"You can always guess why, right?" Ke Yongliang said.

Nalan Jimin thought about it for a moment. "Well, since that's all I have to say, I'll tell you everything I know. In fact, the people above didn't want anyone to investigate this matter at all. They told me to send a random agent to collect the basic materials, and I didn't have to dig into it.

"Why don't you two investigate this, probably because they know that you two are very conscientious agents and won't settle for a superficial job symbolizing 'sex' - now you get it?"

In fact, Ke Yongliang and Mei Ting became more and more confused. Ke Yongliang asked in confusion: "Why is this?" Something so big has happened, don't the people in the Ministry of State Security want to 'figure out' what is going on? Suddenly, he thought of a possible 'sex' and opened his mouth in surprise, "Unless ......"

"Unless they know exactly what it's all about, you want to say?" Mei Ting immediately understood.

"There's only one possibility." Ke Yongliang looked at Nalan Zhimin and said, "Director Nalan, what do you think?" ”

"I really don't know. This matter is highly classified, and they have not even revealed me, the director of the National Security Bureau. ”

Ke Yongliang pondered for a while and said, "Director Nalan, do you think this is good-this matter, we will not investigate this matter as an agent of the National Security Bureau, but as an ordinary policeman. In this way, the people in the Ministry of State Security will not be able to control us. ”

"It's naïve. Do you think they care about who you are? What they want is that no one gets involved in it. Fuxi Forest Park has been completely cordoned off, and no one is allowed to approach it – both the police and ours. This order was given directly from above. If you insist on investigating, you are working against them. Nalan Jimin said sternly.

Ke Yongliang realized the seriousness of the matter, and he did not dare to make enemies of the people of the Ministry of State Security. He and Mei Ting couldn't fight them at all—there's no doubt about it.

Mei Ting obviously understands this, but she is really curious: "Total lockdown...... Could it be that there is some secret hidden in Fuxi Forest Park? ”

Mentioning this, Ke Yongliang suddenly remembered an important question: "On TV and online videos, it seems that this incident is only reported, but there is no footage of Fuxi Forest Park...... All the reporters who rushed to the scene were not allowed to get close to Fuxi Forest Park, so they could only stay away. ”

"Of course, even the police and the NSA can't get close, let alone journalists." Nalan Jimin said.

"But someone must have gone in there before they found Lupin's body." Ke Yongliang said.

"Yes, but from the first people, the order from above has come down. Since then, no one has come near Fuxi Forest Park. ”

"So, someone from the Public Security Bureau must know about the situation inside......" Ke Yongliang looked at Mei Ting and said meaningfully.

Nalan Zhimin heard what Ke Yongliang meant, she sighed and said, "You don't have to 'bother' to ask your colleagues for news. I know what's going on inside. ”

Ke Yongliang and Mei Ting looked at Nalan Zhimin.

"Listen, the following is completely confidential." Nalan Jimin said solemnly, "The fire last night was very mysterious - it looked like thousands of hectares of forest had been set on fire, but it was not. It was only some of the trees that were burned. The strange thing is that the forest is densely wooded, and each tree is very close to each other, but the trees next to the burning tree are not burning. ”

Ke Yongliang and Mei Ting were dumbfounded. Mei Ting was stunned and said, "So, the trees in the forest are just 'selective' and burning?" ”

"Exactly."

"Which trees were burned?"

"It has nothing to do with the plant species, it seems to be random." Nalan Jimin said, "It is said that the first police officers and staff who went in were stunned when they saw this scene. ”

"Wait, the first people to go in were the cops?" Ke Yongliang felt that it was wrong, "Shouldn't the people from the fire brigade be the first to go?" ”

Nalan Jimin shook his head and said, "Fuxi Forest Park covers an area of 1,796 hectares, and the entire forest burns together, and any firefighting measures are a drop in the bucket. ”

"And how did this forest fire go out?" Mei Ting asked.

"It's not extinguished at all. By the time the fire brigade arrived, the staggering wildfire had already extinguished itself. ”

"What?" Mei Ting was surprised.

"It sounds incredible, but it's true." Nalan Zhimin said, "This fire was ignited in an instant, and it quickly died down. It seemed that the trees that had been set on fire were quickly reduced to ashes by the extreme heat, while the trees next to them were not affected at all. There is no doubt that these things are controlled by some mysterious force. ”

Ke Yongliang and Mei Ting looked at each other. After a while, Ke Yongliang said: "No media has been authorized to film the scene in Fuxi Forest Park now? ”

"Yes, not to mention the video, even what I dictated is confidential and must not be leaked."

"Zheng fǔ is obviously hiding something." Mei Ting said.

"I know you're curious, why shouldn't I? But this matter is controlled by the higher-ups, so we don't want to get involved. Nalan Jimin said, "I have told you everything I know. Next, you continue to pay close attention to the movements of the superpowers of Class 13, and report to me immediately if there is any abnormality. ”

Ke Yongliang and Mei Ting stood up from their seats and replied at the same time, "Yes!" ”
