Two months later.

August in Pyongkyo is an unbearable heat. This year's temperatures were particularly high, reaching more than 40 degrees at one point.

A black SUV drove into the building of the Ministry of Public Security, and Shen Zezhi and Kiko got out of the car. There is also air conditioning in the car, and as soon as they get out of the car, the two of them feel a heat wave rushing towards them.

Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue walked side by side to the office building, the two of them talked about something while walking, and when they reached the elevator, Shen Zezhi pressed to open the door. At this time, the elevator showed that the elevator had reached the second floor, and two people stood in front of the elevator and prepared to go upstairs.

"Ding-"

The elevator door opened, and Guan Xin walked out of it, her face was very bad. Noriko pressed the upward Ken and didn't let the elevator door close.

"Team leader, the people from the investigation team are coming to the group and want to talk to you."

The more Kiko heard this, her face became ugly.

Shen Zezhi nodded and walked into the elevator first, Ji Ziyue and Guan Xin glanced at each other, and followed Shen Zezhi upstairs. At this time, there were three people in the elevator, and Ji Ziyue and Guan Xin didn't dare to speak.

Nearly two months have passed since Shen Yuzhi's disappearance, and the investigation team has sent people to talk to Shen Zezhi no less than ten times, Shen Zezhi would still feel angry at first, but now he is used to it.

The elevator reached the seventh floor, and Shen Zezhi, Ji Ziyue, and Guan Xin walked out together. Push open the office door. Shen Ze saw two people standing at the desk at a glance.

Qi Kai and Sang Yunqing saw Shen Zezhi and them coming in, and they all stood up and looked at Shen Zezhi. Shen Zezhi nodded at them and said to the two people, "Go to my office and say it." ”

After Shen Zezhi finished speaking, he turned around and pushed open the door of his office and walked in. The two people glanced at each other and followed Shen Zezhi in.

The office was closed, and Qi Kai said fiercely: "These grandsons of the investigation team come to the team leader every day to find the bad luck, damn!" ”

Guan Xin also agreed: "That is, what does this matter have to do with the team leader, they were the people who were seconded at the beginning, and now they want to find trouble with the team leader when something goes wrong, villain!" ”

Zhao Jiyong is the oldest, and he is currently the most calm among these people: "Okay, let's do our own thing." Leave the investigation team to the team leader. ”

Everyone also knows that although they can complain, they have nothing to do with the people in the investigation team. Shen Yuzhi has been missing for nearly two months, and Shen Zezhi is not only his own brother, but also involved in the previous investigation, so the people of the investigation team naturally hold on to him.

In the office, Shen Zezhi sat on a chair and said, "Just ask whatever you want, I have something to do later." ”

The two people glanced at each other, and they were both a little dissatisfied with Shen Zezhi's attitude, but they didn't dare to attack. One of them was taller: "Team Leader Shen, we are members of the national security investigation team, and we want to know something about the disappearance of Shen Yuzhi, the head of the former Ninth Division. ”

Shen Zezhi nodded: "Okay, what do you want to ask?" He looked at the two people opposite him and said, "You guys are from the investigation team?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”

About a week after Shen Yuzhi's disappearance, the state security set up an investigation team. Shen Yuzhi has served in Guoan for ten years, and he knows many state secrets, and he disappeared in this stall, so the attitude of Guoan's side was very clear from the beginning. There are two possibilities for Shen Yuzhi's disappearance, one is to be killed, and the other is to commit treason. However, they did not find Shen Yuzhi's body for two months, and now they almost believe that Shen Yuzhi has committed treason.

Shen Zezhi knew what Guoan was thinking, and what they had done in the past two months had already made their attitude clear.

The tall man said: "Oh, the previous investigation team was disbanded, we are a newly established investigation team, my name is Zhong Han, and he is Zhou Jin." ”

Shen Zezhi nodded.

Zhou Jin asked, "Shen Yuzhi had the most frequent contact with you before his disappearance, what did he tell you?" ”

Shen Zezhi crossed his fingers on the table, and said in a flat tone: "I was seconded by the Ninth Department to investigate the murder of Zhao Zhiheng, the director of the Rongcheng Pharmaceutical Research Institute, during that time, and of course we talked about the case. ”

Zhou Jin looked at him and said, "What about other than that?" ”

Shen Zezhi smiled: "Family words, you should know the relationship between Shen Yuzhi and me, he is my brother, except for official affairs, it is naturally a family matter." ”

Zhou Yu's face changed and said: "Team Leader Shen, you'd better cooperate with the investigation, if Shen Yuzhi's disappearance is finally determined to be treason, you won't be able to get out of it." ”

The smile on Shen Yuzhi's face remained unchanged: "Oh? Treason? Do you have proof? ”

Zhou Yu choked and didn't speak.

"Humph!" Shen Zezhi was disdainful.

Zhong Han gave Zhou Jin a look and motioned him not to speak: "Of course, we are also willing to believe that Director Shen has no problem, but you also know that two months have passed, and we have not received any news from Director Shen." Only by working together can we find Director Shen earlier, what do you say? ”

Family cards? Shen Zezhi was disdainful in his heart, but a little moving expression still appeared on his face: "I believe my brother, he will definitely not betray the country." ”

"Of course! Of course! ”

Shen Zezhi was very cooperative with the subsequent questioning, but he really didn't know much, or he couldn't tell them much. These words were said by Shen Zezhi more than a dozen times, and they seemed to be very cooperative, but there was very little useful information.

Two hours later, Zhong Han and Zhou Jin left together, and when they left, their expressions were not very good, but the people from the special case team uniformly did not see it.

After the people of the investigation team left, Ji Ziyue and the others immediately went to Shen Zezhi's office to see him, Shen Zezhi sat in his seat as if in a daze, and saw a little smile on their faces. Seeing everyone's concerned expressions, Shen Zezhi's mood finally improved: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Everyone didn't say anything comforting, and they all went out when they saw that Shen Zezhi was indeed fine. Noriko stayed, he walked into the office and closed the door and sat down.

"I want to take a long vacation." Shen Zezhi said in a tired tone.

"You want to look into that alone? You can't do it. Without the identity of the head of the special case team, you can't find out anything at all, and everything related to that incident is classified, and you can't see it at all. Kiko said bluntly.

Shen Zezhi let out a long sigh, he got up and walked to the window and said, "The Guoan side no longer trusts me since my brother's disappearance, and because of my relationship with my brother, it is impossible for me to find out about that matter. ”

Kikoyue listened to his words, was silent for a while, and said, "There is someone who can help you." ”

Shen Zezhi turned around: "Who?" ”

Ji Ziyue looked at him: "Uncle Shen." ”

Father? Shen Ze was stunned. Shen Yuzhi has not returned home for ten years, and his relationship with Shen Lin is like a stranger. He knew that his father had many good friends when he was in China in the past, and now most of these people have reached a certain position, such as Zhang Tao, the deputy minister of their Ministry of Public Security. But if you ask your father for help because of this, will your father help?

When Shen Yuzhi and Shen Lin had a big quarrel and left home, when he left, he said that he would never recognize Shen Lin as his father again in his life.

The more Ji Zi looked at Shen Zezhi's expression, he knew that Shen Zezhi had not opened his mouth to his family in the past two months, which showed that there was a hidden secret. But now that things have come to this point, if Shen Yuzhi's disappearance continues like this, it is characterized as treason, so it is impossible for Shen Zezhi to stay in this system any longer.

"Team Leader!"

Shen Zezhi turned around: "I know." ”

The more Kiko knew that Shen Zezhi agreed with his idea, he left the office and came out.

Two months ago, he and Shen Zezhi received a text message from Shen Yuzhi when they were still in Rongcheng, and then He Lang said that Shen Yuzhi was missing. Then in the past two months, Shen Yuzhi disappeared from this world like evaporation from the world, and even if a department as powerful as national security still couldn't find him. The worst guess is that Shen Yuzhi has been killed, but Ji Ziyue thinks no, the text message Shen Zezhi received is enough to show that Shen Yuzhi's disappearance is likely to be done on purpose by himself.

And Shen Yuzhi's disappearance is related to a shocking secret, and now it seems that in order to find Shen Yuzhi, Shen Zezhi must find out about that matter. The key is that Guoan doesn't believe Shen Zezhi at all now, and it is impossible for him to meddle in that case again. Don't say it's Shen Zezhi, even the nine places before Shen Yuzhi's disappearance are not allowed to investigate that case now.

After Ji Ziyue left, Shen Zezhi picked up his mobile phone and dialed Shen Lin's number. In fact, he felt that the two of them, Shen Lin, liked his brother more. Because his life was exchanged for his mother's life, Shen Lin resigned and left for the death of his wife, and he did not come back for so many years. And he was raised in his grandfather Shen Ming's house since he was a child, how much can his father have feelings for his son?

The phone rang a few times before it was connected, and Shen Lin's voice came from there: "Zezhi." ”

"Dad, it's me."

Shen Lin chuckled, judging from his tone, he was not surprised by Shen Zezhi's call.

"Can't help but look for me?"

Shen Zezhi took a long breath and said, "Dad, my brother ......"

Shen Lin interrupted him: "Your brother is missing, and it's been two months. ”

Shen Zezhi's tone froze: "You know. ”

Shen Lin said: "Of course I know, I just want to see when my youngest son will ask for help from my father." ”

"I'm sorry, Dad. I need your help. "Shen Ze's way.

Shen Lin didn't speak. Shen Zezhi hurriedly said: "Dad, brother, he will never do those things, I know what is going on, let me investigate this matter." ”

Shen Lin said: "Your brother's character is too stubborn, ten years!" He didn't recognize me as a father for ten years, and he didn't call me in the past ten years. ”

"Dad, I'm sorry, you can help me."

A soft sigh came from the other side of the phone: "You are my son, and Yuzhi is also my son." I've said hello, you go see someone tomorrow, and then you can take your team to look into the case. But Zezhi, if you don't find out this matter clearly, then you may not be able to continue working in China. ”

Shen Zezhi immediately said, "I understand." ”

"Okay, I'm going to rest, don't call me in the middle of the night in the future, it will affect your rest too much." Shen Lin hung up the phone after speaking.

Shen Zezhi looked at his phone and smiled. Obviously, his father cares about his brother very much, but both of them are stubborn and neither of them will bow their heads first
