It is true that Laxin has not seen such a strange phenomenon. When Xiao Xiao finished describing the sinkhole, he was already a little shocked. However, after thinking about it, this big pit should have nothing to do with this journey, and if he and Xiao Xiao went to investigate these deeply, I am afraid that the trip would be delayed. So in the past of surprise, he simply asked Xiao Xiao if he was injured and about the sinkhole, but he didn't ask anything more. Xiao Xiao didn't pay much attention to this matter herself, and the two of them went to a nearby hotel to rest after a simple tidying up. Early the next morning, Xiao Xiao and Lakshin boarded a passenger ship bound for Africa.

At the same time, in one of Pallas's offices, the middle-aged Shao Yunde smoked cigarettes one by one. Now he has stomach troubles and can't vent them. These troubles had accumulated in his stocky body, forcing him to gasp for air. His dull eyes stared at the corner of the office, thinking about something.

Dangdang! A sharp knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

He quickly snuffed out his cigarette, straightened his somewhat collapsed collar, and said in a slightly expectant tone: "Please come in!" ”

The door opened, and in came a tall, thin man. The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and when Shao Yunde looked up at him, his glasses reflected just right, which made Shao Yunde unable to see his eyes at this time. In this way, Shao Yunde was a little uneasy, he tried to clear his throat and asked, "What did the capital say over there?" ”

The man with glasses took off his glasses, wiped them with a silk cloth and put them back on, then replied in an unhurried tone: "As before, continue to monitor." ”

Hearing this, Shao Yunde angrily slapped the desk in front of him, and said sharply: "It's surveillance again, it's surveillance again!" It's been a long time, and now that I haven't even caught a single figure, isn't the Grand Commander in a hurry at all? ”

The man in glasses hesitated for a moment and replied, "The Grand Commander thinks it's not the time yet, I think we might as well put this matter aside for a while." ”

Shao Yunde glared at the man with glasses and shouted, "Li Haowen, let me ask you, how long have you been in the seventh department?" ”

"It's been five years." The man with glasses replied.

"Five years shouldn't be too short, right? Why don't you understand what is most important now? There are so many things that the Grand Commander has to deal with, and he sometimes makes mistakes, but we can't be confused! Shao Yunde raised another pitch and shouted.

Li Haowen pushed his glasses and said, "Minister, I think we may be in a bit of a hurry." Now that I think about it, there may be something wrong with our evidence. And"

"What's the problem? I took so many people to catch him, and I actually let him run away! Not only that, but this kid was rescued by his accomplices! You say, if he doesn't have a problem, why let the accomplices save him? ”

"This" Li Haowen was speechless for a while, so he had to subconsciously push down his glasses to cover up the embarrassment.

Seeing that his subordinates didn't answer, Shao Yunde continued: "I don't think you dare to deny this, right? Let me tell you, I've been working in the Seventh Department all my life, what kind of people and things have I never seen? In my experience, that kid was definitely exactly what we thought! ”

Li Haowen thought for a while and said: "What you said is indeed right, minister, I actually didn't stop doubting, but the capital really didn't let us investigate further." The Commander-in-Chief said that two days ago, someone in the no-man's-land of the Middle East had trespassed on the border gates. The camera captured the suspect, and according to the image data, it was the person we were looking for. ”

When Shao Yunde heard about it, he said in a loud voice: "What's the matter?" How could we not know about such a thing? Since he went to cross the border, why didn't anyone arrest him? ”

"This is what I want to explain. At that time, he was indeed trying to arrest him, but I don't know who pretended to be the commander and gave the order to the guards to let him go, so he was allowed to escape. Li Haowen replied.

"Do you know where he went now?" Shao Yunde asked.

"Well, judging by the direction of his escape, he should want to go to New Alexandria."

Shao Yunde thought for a while and then asked, "New Alexander?" weishenme go back there? ”

"Based on our intelligence, he should have lost his way to that Paul." Li Haowen replied cautiously.

"That Paul? Well, it looks suspicious! Shao Yunde touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"It's really suspicious, it doesn't seem to be as simple as we thought it was at the beginning, there must be something behind this that we don't know. That's why Commander Weishenme asked me to stay on top of my troops. He said that if we can find Shili behind the scenes through that person, we will complete the mission. Li Haowen glanced at Shao Yunde, who was still thinking to himself, and said.

The somewhat balding old minister seemed to have heard the words of his subordinates, but he was still thinking about other things. After a long time, he patted his head and said, "Yes! That's it! ”

Li Haowen was a little puzzled and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What should we do?" ”

"What to do? Send someone to New Alexandria! Keep an eye on that kid and arrest him if necessary! Shao Yunde replied.

"Of course, this is going to be sent, but the Grand Commander only lets us watch? If you want to arrest someone, you need permission from above? Li Haowen was a little unconfident and asked tentatively.

Shao Yunde hahadaxiao said: "I said Xiao Li! Just now you said that you have been here for five years, why are you confused now? Don't forget that our Seventh Division has the power to cut first and then play! Besides, I think you know the current situation, and we can't afford to make mistakes. ”

Seeing this scene, Li Haowen immediately laughed and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll immediately arrange for Mike to go over there." He paused for a moment and hurriedly said to Shao Yunde: "By the way, the Great Commander said that according to the latest situation, a large number of sinkholes have inexplicably appeared in various parts of Shijie now. The sinkholes are more than a kilometer in diameter, and the depth of the pits cannot be measured. Now the news has been blocked on this matter. He told us to investigate the cause and report it to him as soon as possible. ”

Shao Yunde glanced at Li Haowen and said impatiently: "These things should have been in the hands of the Geological Bureau, but now they are handed over to us." You said that you don't investigate this serious thing, but you are always doing some strange things to study, and I am now convinced of the thinking of the Grand Commander. ”

Li Haowen stood in front of his minister in a daze, not knowing whether to answer his words or not. After a long time, Shao Yunde replied extremely reluctantly: "I know, this matter will also be handed over to Mike, you go down first." ”

Li Haowen bowed very knowingly and turned around and left the office. Shao Yunde shook his head helplessly, and he lit another cigarette. In the smog, he felt that things had been going on more and more recently, and that they were getting more and more annoying. These difficult things always linger, as if endless.
