Chapter 19: Temptation (1)

In the end, the strange severed finger was finally sent for examination. The result is the same as expected, this extra finger is Wang Desheng's own. But this strange clue did not attract the attention of the above, and Zhou Ji and the others were still strange at that time, only to learn later that Lin Xingcheng, who looked very inscrutable, actually broke off the little finger of the deceased and hid it while they were not paying attention.

At night, Zhou Ji and the four of them sat on the sofa in a room in a high-end hotel in the city, staring blankly at the non-rotten fingers on the table in front of them that were broken off by Lin Xingcheng from the corpse. Of course, the other section sent for testing has been left in the morgue and stitched up by the forensic doctor, but I don't know if anyone will be suspicious of the severed finger that does not fit the wound well.

“... What's next? Yue Zhi couldn't bear the silence and took the lead in speaking.

"What to do... Keep checking. This is the task given to us by the above. Wang Yao said with a dark face, "And this time we were rushed here, countless pairs of eyes are staring behind our backs, and we must continue to investigate before we can get a result." ”

"But you saw it too!" Yue Zhi suddenly jumped up from the sofa, pointed to his fingers and said, "This is fucking beyond our comprehension!" Before, I thought that there might be someone deliberately causing trouble in this case, although the room was full of wrongs, and the suspect's hallucinatory confession could be mixed up. But suddenly this thing appeared, and all the previous speculations were overturned, what other explanation could there be than the ghost explanation? What we did before was a little weird, but there was nothing so scary! Good guys, how could there be a room in the world of clones of the same deceased, after killing each other, leaving a room full of fingerprints and bloodstains, all the corpses are gone, except for a finger! I can't continue this errand, I have to report to the above with evidence, instead of finding agents to solve the case, it is more useful to find a bunch of dancing gods to exorcise ghosts! ”

Wang Yao looked a little angry: "Okay! Yue Zhi, it's almost there. You may not have done it before, maybe while we are investigating the case, there are still many people who are proficient in supernatural events working at the same time, so take care of yourself, how many times have you been punished for violating the rules? As he spoke, he squinted at Lin Xingcheng, "And I don't understand why you're doing this than worrying about things that you don't have a clue about?" Didn't the authorities send you specifically to investigate this supernatural incident, wouldn't it be better to directly present the results? ”

"What do I do?" Lin Xingcheng was stunned for a moment, and his cold eyes at Wang Yao fell on the severed finger again, and then he reacted, "... Oh. Why do you mean I would destroy the bodies of the dead and take away my fingers... Well. But I didn't want to hide anything from above, nor did I want to evade my work in a perfunctory way, but I just felt that it was best not to report it when we didn't find out the cause of the matter, otherwise it was likely that I would be suspected of deliberately concealing part of the truth in an attempt to endanger the national interests and restrict my actions. You know, although the purpose of the boss is to let us find out the secrets of the Black Book Company, they don't want us to know too much about the inside story, it's best to close your eyes and plug your ears and don't listen or look, and directly hand over the results, which is the most ideal agent that the boss wants... By the way, your former partner, Li Tang is a typical example. ”

Speaking of Li Tang, Zhou Ji suddenly remembered that he still had a lot of things to figure out, how could he be given an 'execution order' inexplicably? You must know that even if Li Tang really learned the secrets of the Black Book Company, it would be impossible for him to inflict a rapid and heavy blow on the country in just a few hours like detonating a nuclear missile? Those people above can't read minds, what is he trying to do in order to be quickly identified as a dangerous person? And of course Wang Yao and Yue Zhi didn't understand, but Lin Xingcheng was different, he was the only one who came from Li Tang's side, and he blurted out in an instant that he was suspected of deliberately concealing part of the truth in an attempt to endanger national interests and restricting his actions, he must have known a little bit of the inside story, and he made a hidden finger act in order to protect himself. Thinking of this, Zhou Ji didn't care whether he was suspected of spying on state secrets, and hurriedly interjected:

"Li Tang... What the hell is going on with him? I was fine with him on the phone before, it couldn't be because of what he said to me on the phone, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yue and the others also looked at Lin Xingcheng. All seem to want to get some results in his mouth. They have also listened to the recording of Zhou Li's dialogue, and they don't know what to do about Li Tang's inexplicable want.

Lin Xingcheng was stunned for a moment, and shook his head as if he was speechless, "According to the gag order, I shouldn't tell you this." But we are all the case-handling personnel of this case, and we are grasshoppers on our fingers, so it's okay to barely confide in them. But—" he paused, and glanced at the others with a serious expression, "You guys, you don't have any unavoidable predicament right now, do you?" ”

Zhou Ji and the three were confused and in trouble? What do you mean?

Lin Xingcheng saw that they didn't react, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "... It's good if you don't have it After all, because of the investigation of this case, too many agents have fallen for their own desires. ”

"What falls? It's just a case to investigate, is it possible that there are still people who use fame and fortune to bribe? Yue Zhi scratched his head. It can't be that a lot of people will fall, at least not me. Even if I were given more than a billion yuan, I wouldn't be moved. The agent betrayed the organization and asked for money and his life, so sooner or later it would be planted. ”

Lin Xingcheng shook his head: "Money is not everything, everyone knows it." That's because the other party being investigated is giving something more tempting. Li Tang is not the first to be tempted... To be honest, I started investigating six years before you did. In the past 6 years, my partners have changed no less than 30, all of them because of the Black Book Company. At this point, he looked up at the surprised expressions of the three and sighed. I tell you that you won't understand either... Rather, even I don't understand. In fact, I'm not smart at all, on the contrary, I'm very unlucky, and it's not too strange that the cases I asked me to investigate were related to the Black Book Company, as Yue Zhi said, most of them died by themselves. On the contrary, every one of my former partners disappeared after being separated from me and investigated separately, and finally contacted me to say that they had been 'bought'. I'm ashamed to say that over the years, the most clues I have gotten from the Black Book Company are still in the case I handled with Li Tang after returning to China. I'm going to tell you about it. ”
