"What!" Wei Zhong's tone was full of shock: "Your father is dead!" ”

At the beginning, when the Criminal Investigation Bureau was negotiating with those people, I blatantly told Wei Zhong and other high-ranking people that the red clothes might be my father. Judging from Wei Zhong's tone, he doesn't seem to know that Hongyi has been killed, but I don't know if he really doesn't know, or if he pretends not to know.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Wei Zhong confirmed to me again: "Do you mean Li Yiran, or the monster in red?" ”

"They're the same person." I replied.

Wei Zhong was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time, and after a long time, he asked me when it happened. I told Wei Zhong about Shen Cheng leading people to besiege the ancestral hall, and at the same time, I listened carefully to the tone of Wei Zhong's speech, trying to analyze something from his rise.

Wei Zhong sighed. He told me that the news of his mother's death in Nanshan, Chongqing City, had reached his ears, but he was completely unaware of Hongyi's death. Wei Zhong is at the top, and if he wants to know my movements, there must be many ways. It had been a few days since his mother died, and it was normal for him to learn the news.

I don't want to know how Wei Zhong spies on me, all I want to know is why Wei Zhong didn't tell me about Shen Cheng's reinstatement early in the morning. It was precisely because Wei Zhong did not tell us that Shen Cheng would be reinstated, and Jiang Jun and I arrived in Chongqing City, we would temporarily exclude ourselves from going to the Southern District Bureau.

As a result, we encountered the pursuit of the fourth uncle and the captivity of the seventh uncle. Knowing that Shen Cheng was going to be reinstated, it determined our whereabouts and our safety at that time.

"Let me ask again, you are evil, why didn't you tell me the news of Shen Cheng's reinstatement in the first place?" I asked in a deep voice.

Wei Zhong: "It's not that I won't tell you, but I don't know about it at all. Wei Zhong's answer made me completely unable to believe it. Shen Cheng is definitely the person who is concerned at the highest level, if he wants to be reinstated, the application must have been conveyed to the highest level long ago, Wei Zhong is a person at that level, it is impossible not to know.

I looked around and asked Jiang Jun to close the door. After closing the door, my voice finally dared to amplify a little, and I sneered and let Wei Zhong continue. Wei Zhong sighed, he apologized to me, saying that if he had received the news, he would have told me a long time ago. Every time Wei Zhong said two words, he had to sigh a few times.

"Mr. Wei Zhong, you should know how important this news is to us. You should also know that if we had known about this news a long time ago, a lot of things would have changed. My tone became colder, and Wei Zhong on the other end of the phone should have heard the meaning of my words, and even his wheezing voice became cramped.

If I had known this news earlier, Jiang Jun and I would have been able to go directly to the Southern District Bureau, and we would not have been chased and killed by the fourth uncle or imprisoned by the seventh uncle. The sooner we meet Shen Cheng, the more chance we have to use the police's ability to find our mother, and we may be able to understand Shen Cheng's intentions earlier, and my father will not die like that.

Everything that happened in Chongqing City started from the moment we were deceived by the fourth uncle to the riverside. Whether we find Shen Cheng in the first place or not is the turning point of everything. Wei Zhong listened to my words and sighed again, but he didn't say anything. I couldn't control my emotions and cursed, "Are you going to sigh?" I only ask you, are you evil! ”

"Professor Li, don't talk to him. During that time, he didn't even answer our calls, there must be a problem. Jiang Jun didn't hear what Wei Zhong said on the other end of the phone, but he still said this to me. Just as I was about to hang up, Wei Zhong quickly stopped me.

"Li Ke!" Wei Zhong, who had always been calm as water, was a little panicked: "I have no problem, you must investigate, I have been waiting for this day for many years!" ”

Wei Zhong's words kept me from hanging up the phone in a hurry. Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately said to me: "Li Ke, you are the only one who can continue to investigate. If you think about it, if I really wanted to do tricks to stop you from investigating, I would have just voted against it. ”

Wei Zhong is not the same as usual, in my impression, Wei Zhong's city government is very deep and very patient, not like a person who will be easily anxious. But at this moment, his reaction was a little excited. I pondered what Wei Zhong said, and he was right, if he really wanted to hide it from me and get in the way, there would have been no need to vote for it in the first place.

A long time has passed, but the scene of the battle with many elders in the Criminal Investigation Bureau that day is still vivid. Wei Zhong was the last to vote, and his yes or no's was decisive at the time. In the end, Wei Zhong still voted in favor under the gaze of everyone.

For that day, Wei Zhong said he had waited for years. He has been feigning opposition, but only to find an opportunity to deal a surprise and fatal blow to those oppositionists. It can be seen that Wei Zhong very much hopes that the police can investigate this big conspiracy, and he is also promoting the establishment of a special task force.

"I believe you, but you have to give me a reasonable explanation why you didn't tell me the news that Shen Cheng was going to be reinstated in the first place. Also, why didn't you answer my call? "I took a deep breath.

Wei Zhong hesitated for a long time, as if he was thinking about how to answer me, and just when I wanted to hang up the phone again, Wei Zhong finally spoke.

"Li Ke, I went to participate in a negotiation." Wei Zhong said this news that shocked and confused me.

To this day, I don't know exactly what position Wei Zhong holds. I speculate that he may have been one of the heads of the state secret organs, and the other two dozen or so people in the conference room were also heads of state secret organs or security agencies. Some special organs have actual responsible persons, but these responsible persons are generally not disclosed to the public.

The person in charge who is open to the public is actually only the person in name only. It involves national security, so there are some things that cannot be disclosed to the public. But Wei Zhong went to participate in the negotiations, which made me a little puzzled. At the beginning, they were already very lucky to be able to negotiate with me, and I don't know who he will negotiate with this time.

"You know, how many years I've been waiting for the establishment of the task force, and I'm not going to destroy what I've been waiting for. Li Ke, I didn't tell you the news of Shen Cheng's reinstatement because I was participating in negotiations when the news came. It wasn't me who really got the news. There was some helplessness in Wei Zhong's tone.

He said that although last time, the number of people in favor of setting up a task force exceeded that of the opposition, and they finally submitted a proposal to the highest level to set up a task force to investigate. But among them, the opposition is still very large, and they use various methods to contradict the supporters.

In the end, after everyone's deliberation and the decision of the highest level, whether Shen Cheng participated in the task force and led the investigation became the decisive factor in whether the task force could be established. This decision at the highest level is the result of the joint efforts of the supporters and the opposition of the opposition.

Before I could ask why Shen Cheng was so important, Wei Zhong had already continued.

He said that the opposition was very unhappy with the decision of the superiors, but the decision had been made, and they could not blatantly use some small means to thwart me, but, at least, they would not help me. Therefore, when Shen Cheng's application for reinstatement reached City B, the opposition did not notify Wei Zhong after receiving the news.

Wei Zhong himself didn't know the news, so naturally, he definitely didn't have a way to inform me.

As for why Wei Zhong didn't answer the phone, he also gave a good explanation. He said that he and several others had been ordered to conduct a negotiation. In that negotiation, because of the extremely high level of confidentiality and the great danger, both sides demanded to each other to sever all contact with the outside world.

Therefore, in the first few days of negotiations, they lost contact with the outside world under the attention of both sides.

Several days passed, and it was not until the end of the negotiations that Wei Zhong returned to his post again, that he heard the news that Shen Cheng had been reinstated, and he also heard that my mother, Yu Fei, died on the top of Nanshan.
